Hunter: “The one nearby.”275 198. In the same video it is possible to hear that at 10:02:09 a.m., one of those who intervened in the communications states: “Okay, it’s away, its away!” referring to the AN-M1A2 device and at 10:02:11 a.m., another pilot says: “Yes, you can see the smoke over there.”276 However, although it is possible to see the “wooded area” where the bomb should have fallen according to the indications in the Skymaster image, it is not possible to see, in any part of the screen, the smoke that it is said is being observed. A few seconds later, at 10:02:49 a.m., when the filming angle of the Skymaster changes, it is possible to see in the upper right hand of the screen a column of dark smoke coming from the village of Santo Domingo, a column that could not be seen in the previous images (at 09:16:04, and 09:23:23, among other times).277 At 10:02:50 a.m., the Skymaster pilot says in English: “it looks like there is a…”), a phrase that is interrupted and that is followed by a silence of more than 30 seconds, without it being possible to see the village again until several minutes later.278 When the image returns to the village of Santo Domingo at 10:08:19 a.m., the column of smoke can no longer be seen.279 199. What can be seen in the images of the Skymaster video concurs with the conclusions of the judgment of the 12th Criminal Court which states that “it is possible to see in the very upper right hand of the screen a slanted image of the village with smoke,”280 as well as the statements of inhabitants of Santo Domingo who recall having seen smoke after the bombs had fallen.281 Similarly, these findings and testimonies are consistent with the technical appraisals performed in the inspection procedure carried out at the Apiay Base of the Colombian Air Force on August 12, 2003, when tests were carried out consisting in the launch of cluster devices similar to those used by the Air Force in Santo Domingo, in which it was possible to observe clearly dark smoke when the devices touched the ground.282 The technical report following the said procedure reached the same conclusions.283 275 In relation to the location of the “wooded area (mata de monte) which is very close by,” see aerial photograph taken of the area of Santo Domingo and the wooded area (evidence file, tome 19, folio 10088 and 10089); Skymaster video of December 13, 1998, where it can be seen that this conversation was reported at 10 a.m. (evidence file, tome 19, folio 9621); Agustín Codazzi Institute, Sub-Directorate of Geography and Cartography, map to scale of 1:100,000 with the points and distances (evidence file, tome 19, folio 9945 and 9946), and Santo Domingo Operation Report, Special Air Operations Directorate, Colombian Military Forces, Air Force (evidence file, tome 19, folios 10122 to 10125).
