Flash of Light or Smoke
The first news reports after the assassination were "chasing some men across some railroad tracks"
Bowers was the switch operator that turned off the trains so the cops could search the boxcars.
Transients were pulled out and arrested. Further inquiry was avoided by immediately changing the subject.
All of the testimony for this essential witness, takes just over six pages.
There was no attempt to identity the out of state plates, or to further corroborate these sightings with any other witness.
The plaid shirt, the white shirt, a brown sport coat, an Oldsmobile, were all seen in multiple instances.
The conclusions brought about by this body should stand alone without doubt or question, but with support to validate.
Lee Bowers saw something occur behind the fence as the president's car was passing, while others saw something in the same area .
Yet, the Commission by choice made no further inquiries to settle down the skepticism into this critical matter.

BOWERS: At the time of the shooting in the vicinity of where these two men that I have described were
[on camera, the audience is looking at an aerial photograph of Dealey Plaza, with white ‘X’ marking the east end of the stockade fence]
there was a flash of light or there was something which occurred which caught my eye in this immediate area on the embankment.
What this was I could not say at that time and at this time I could not identify it other than there was some unusual occurrence
– a flash of light or smoke or something - which caused me to feel like something out of the ordinary had occurred there.
LANE: In reading your testimony Mr. Bowers it appears that just as you were about to
make that statement you were interrupted in the middle of the sentence by the Commission counsel who then went into another area.
BOWERS: Ah, well, ah - well – that’s correct. I was there only to tell them what they asked so
that when they seemed to want to cut off the conversation I felt like that was as far as I was concerned that was the end of it.

Researcher Debra Conway:
“I interviewed the supervisor for the railroad yard and Bowers’ boss's superior.
He told us that Bowers told him and his direct boss that he did see the two men BEHIND THE FENCE and
he thought at least one of them was shooting. He said he didn't go further with it because he was afraid."

Bowers, testified April 02, 1964. Four months prior, Warren Reynolds was shot in the head for what he believed
was related to not seeing Oswald in the Tippit shooting. He survived. Gen Edwin Walker was allegedly shot by
Lee Oswald in April '63, and was doing his own investigation after 11/22. Walker, said of Reynolds, "He would
become a very good example, regardless of what he knew, to let everybody know that they better keep their mouths shut."
Lee Bowers had reason to keep his mouth shut.
