even though he is actively looking for his phone or anything else to give him the date he cannot find anything. he said he was facing north northeast which puts the sun and the bright flash to the south southwest of him.
this gives us both a window of dates and a time of day. it has to be in the fall or spring so the sun is riding tot he south yet there can be a very warm day.
i played with the nuke map and came up with this as a likely fit to the parameters so far.
a chinese 5mt nuclear device to go off during a game at the at&t stadium in arlington. the signature of the device will lead to the chinese coming through IRAN. the only dates this can happen are oct 5 and nov 2. nov 2nd is a much preferable date due to the anniversaries it would commemorate: the entrance into jerusalem of the father of zionism herzl, the birth of the israeli government by ben gurion, the capture of gaza and last but not least the "day the gassings began in auschwitz in 1944."
an event like this would cause this country to nuke the hell out of somebody. guess who?
also, this would have multiple international ripple effects - the game at wembley stadium would be cancelled/altered, the fallout would be global, and the tv show dallas was an international hit and still is. plus, people like the wild west and cowboys and such.
the time of year is also right for the kind of distraction a false flag of this nature would provide. the dollar could go to zero that day and no one would notice.
thats what i have so far. comments, ideas, suggestions all welcome.
