This morning at 09:00 hours, I received a return phone call from LTC P. Scully, PIO for the Oklahoma Military Department---he gave me the following update: In Sept and Nov, of 1994--DARPA, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, was using the enclosed area for operational research at Camp Gruber---the mission was classified---
His department has researched this series of photo's for the Washington Post, the London Times, and myself--he stated that a sub-contractor of the DARPA project had rented the Ryder truck, and had placed the truck in the enclosed area we see in the photo---he went on to say, that his office had undertaken research during 1997 to verify this photo, and it's origin--and that information had been given in a statement from his office in 1997.
He stated that with assistance from his organization, they had determined that the truck in the photo, was the largest of it's size, around 32 feet, while in testimony during the McVeigh trial, the RyderTruck used in the bombing, given as 20 feet.
He stated his office wanted to make sure the files were available to responsible researchers, and his hopes was to clear up any mistaken idea's, that the Oklahoma Military Department, or Camp Gruber had anything to hide.
He was also aware of the Montana Militia, and Mr. Trockman (sic) had received copies of these photo's, and used them as a basis for speculation.
I feel that my input in this photo matter is closed.
Regards,
Stmoritz

Thanks for the ping. I'd heard about the crash, but hadn't connected any dots.
