Tomorrow, July 17, 2016, will mark the 20th anniversary of TWA 800 disaster. I remember at the time that there were so many eyewitness (literally hundreds) that saw the Paris-bound Boeing 747 come down in a flaming trail of debris into the Atlantic Ocean, a few minutes after its departure from JFK airport. Many of the witnesses saw streaks of light that intercepted the aircraft. The National Transportation Safety Board chose to discount and ignore all, not some, but all of the eyewitness testimony. At the conclusion of the government investigation, there was animation provided by the CIA (the CIA!) that sought to "explain" what the eyewitnesses saw.
I'm not a conspiracy guy, but why did the FBI and the NTSB discount eyewitness testimony (including pilots who were in the air at the time), but that same eyewitness testimony is allowed in courts of law in our own judicial system? I wonder if any of the many witnesses flew HPR and could compare what they know a rocket trail looks like vs what occurred on July 17, 1996.
There are only a few missiles in the world that can do that. Unfortunately, most of them are made in the USA.
Regardless, it was a heartache for so many families whose lives were ripped apart by the event.
There is a documentary on the subject, which was available on Amazon:
