Slave 1: Ready for takeoff

This photograph, taken at 8:37 a.m. on November 22, 1963 (the morning of the JFK assassination) of the Texas School Book Depository has what appears to be a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft landed atop the building!

A modified version of this class of ship was used by the famed Jango Fett and, later, his cloned son, Boba Fett. Could one of these bounty hunters be linked to the Kennedy assassination?

The finding of Slave 1 atop the Texas School Book Depository is significant. Howard Brennan, a steamfitter who was sitting across the street from the building, notified police that as he watched the JFK motorcade go by, he heard a shot come from above, and looked up to see a man with a rifle make another shot from a corner window on the sixth floor. He had seen the same man minutes earlier looking out the window. Brennan gave a description of the shooter, which was broadcast to all Dallas police at 12:45 p.m., 12:48 p.m., and 12:55 p.m.

As Brennan spoke to the police in front of the building, they were joined by Harold Norman and James Jarman, Jr.,two employees of the Texas School Book Depository who had watched the motorcade from windows at the southeast corner of the fifth floor. The two reported that they and a third companion, Bonnie Ray Williams, heard three gunshots come from directly over their heads, and that plaster fell from the ceiling. Norman also heard the sounds of a bolt action rifle and those of cartridges dropping on the floor above them.

Estimates of when Dallas police sealed off the entrances to the Texas School Book Depository range from 12:33 to after 12:50 p.m.

Of the 104 earwitnesses in Dealey Plaza who are on record with an opinion as to the direction from which the shots came, 56 (53.8%) thought that they came from the direction of the Texas School Book Depository, 35 (33.7%) thought that they came from the area of the grassy knoll or the Triple Underpass, 8 (7.7%) thought the shots came from a location entirely distinct from the knoll or the Depository, and 5 (4.8%) thought they heard shots from two locations.

This image of the Texas School Book Depository where Howard Brennan saw a man fire a rifle at the motorcade from window "A" as marked in the photograph. This is the same building that, hours earlier, an individual photographed Slave 1 atop the roof.

And this image shows the view of the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository offers a clear view of Elm street, where the assassination took place, is accessible. This would be an easy assignment for a trained bounty hunter.

As mentioned above, however, several gunshots were heard, possibly, from different directions. Lee Harvey Oswald was captured by authorities, but, claimed he was, simply, a scapegoat in a large conspiracy. He was murdured by Jack Ruby before being tried. Jack Ruby, mysteriously, died of cancer before his trial. Could the assassination of John F. Kennedy have been the result of a bounty on his head, executed by Boba Fett and, possibly, other bounty hunters from a galaxy far, far away? Stay tuned to ISWWR as the investigation continues...
