Checked out the Denver airport murals after hearing all the conspiracy talk, something weird about panel 5

Took a flashlight like the other guy said and yeah it makes a huge difference. The bottom right corner has these little hooded figures holding what looks like a book or a tablet, but they're way darker than the rest of the painting. Got there at 6am on a Tuesday and nobody was around, creepy silence made it worse. The detail that got me is the kid in the front row of the main crowd, his eyes are like completely black which I didn't notice until I shined the light right on his face. Panel 5's lighting is tilted too, the shadows fall wrong compared to the other panels. Bring a camera with a zoom lens if you got one, my phone camera kept losing focus on the small stuff.

Hold up on buying the conspiracy hype, those "hooded figures" are probably just part of some generic artistic style that doesn't translate well up close. The lighting trick is just due to the angle of those older ceiling fixtures, not some intentional shadow play. People see what they want to see when they're already looking for something weird.

Panel 5 is where it gets weird. Look at the little figures in the bottom right corner. They don't fit with the rest of the painting at all. Best tip is to bring a flashlight, the lighting in the main hall is terrible for seeing the details. Catch it early in the morning before the crowds show up.
