Yes, I thought about that, too. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a direct overhead image of the bleachers and stage to be able to overlay it on the G.E. screenshot. Then, there were further problems of the mega screen's height, the approximated height of the water tower (125 ft to 165 ft), the trees that are also in the way, the lay of the land, etc., etc.
From a conspiratorial point of view, If a pro-sniper had chosen the tower to shoot from, they would have had to have calculated for the screens and stage height. Something, I think could only be confirmed from the time the bleachers and screen had been setup; perhaps only just a couple of days in advance of the rally.
In the end, in my mind, the figure that manifests on the tower could only be a maintenance man or, as FCD suggested, a counter-sniper.
However, a question I can't find an answer to is, how far did the SS security bubble extend? Was the tower included? The Pac-Man parody image doing the internet rounds doesn't count.
