NORJAK. DAILY SUMMARY
PARACHUTE FOUND AT PORTLAND WAS RECEIVED AT SEATTLE JANUARY SIX, NINETEEN SEVENTY-TWO AND EXAMINED BY EARL COSSEY, WHO PACKED ALL THE CHUTES GIVEN TO THE HIJACKER AND COSSEY DEFINITELY ELIMINATED THIS PARACHUTE AS ONE GIVEN TO THE HIJACKER.
EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHT WAS MADE TODAY USING THE SAME NORTHWEST AIRLINES AIRCRAFT AS HIJACKED, DURING WHICH TWO SLEDS, MADE TO SOMEWHAT APPROXIMATE THE SIZE OF A MAN AND [guess: twenty four] WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED/LBS., WERE DROPPED OVER PACIFICOCEAN. THE EFFECT OF THESE DUMMIES DEFINITELY RECORDED A CABIN PRESSURE CHANGE AND, ACCORDING TO [REDACTED] OF THE HIJACKED AIR- CRAFT, THE REACTION TODAY WAS IDENTICAL TO THAT WHICH OCCURRED DURING THE HIJACKING.
