After claiming they saw the 1905 plane being pushed by hand before it took off (when according to the official story, Flyer III was pulled by a falling heavy weight) the credibility of the alleged witnesses (only one appears with his name) goes down to zero.

- The fact a witness claimed he had seen the Wright brothers flying in 1905, 1904 or 1903 does not automatically mean the two inventor really flew that time. The witness could have lied.

- The fact a witness claimed he had seen something that could not have happened shows, without any doubt, the witness lied. In consequence he is a low credibility person who can not be trusted.
