First off, let me say they may have been multiple shooters. I do not know for any certainty there is not.

But there is reason to doubt Mike Adams. If he's telling truth now, he's like the boy who cried "wolf!" due to past (carefully presented) wild claims, that he does excel at selling as legitimate. It's made himself a lot of money. The man is a dedicated salesman. There is no room for doubt about that.

In the video presentation ---
Did anyone else notice that this Mike Adams/Health Ranger guy said he obtained the recordings from internet videos (note the multiple) yet showed us just the one image purported to objective sound analysis?

In his theorizing he may be on to something regarding triangulation, yet he did not show a processed version of an alleged recording that actually showed (through this sound analysis technique) that there was a second shooter allegedly "overlapping" on the same tape (even though fairly early in the video, he said that he would show that - he never did).

In light of the sound recording that he included in the video demonstration, presence of a second shooter, along with the rest of the 250 yard hypothesis is coming out of thin air. At the least he's not showing the source for the second set of calculations upon which the 250 yard circle is based.

There was no indication from which particular youtube video he obtained (and allegedly used) the sound recording he claims he's expert regarding canceling out "background noise". These things are significant.

Can anyone show the man has sound engineering background? Has he claimed that among his many and varied claims he has made for himself (regarding himself) in the past? In his video, of course he represented himself merely as an experienced long-range shooter -- but then segued right into portraying himself as expert in canceling out background "noise".

in part because, in comments section is link to

Mike Adams, blustering scoundrel

that was posted by PZ Meyers. Does that name "PZ Meyers" ring any bells with you guys?

And this last that I'll include (that admittedly I don't know what to make of regarding the alleged-to-be actual quotes, that sounds a lot like satire itself, while presenting itself as admission from Adams that he engages in satire -- and keeps getting away with it) from a gal who bills herself as Scibabe;

You gentlemen may have seen these before -- a pair of waveform analysis youtube vids -- of more exactitude. The first is 19 minutes 41 seconds runtime. The second, coming from the same sound guy is 17 minutes 34 seconds runtime and somewhat syncs the analysis with the exact video that he's using.

Notice in the first video he mentions that some of the apparent change in sound of whatever weapon is firing is likely due to the microphone (in a cell phone) being moved resulting in the sound entering the microphone from a new, different angle.

All in all, he does leave it more than open that there was possibly more than one weapon being used simultaneously in one part that he covers-- iirc -- in the first video.
