This is all so tiresome. I do believe TWA800 was taken down by a missile, but am 100 percent convinced it did NOT come from a U.S. Navy vessel. I served aboard USS NORMANDY, as an officer, not a seaman apprentice like this “whistle-blower” who served on CARR. I hasten to add my service on NORMANDY ended three years before TWA800, but I personally know officers and men who were on board at the time the airliner went down.
There are numerous holes in the whistle-blower’s story, and the biggest to me is the alleged order to destroy the evidence and to invoke a cover-up demanding the silence of every officer and sailor in that group of ships. It is a laughable and ludicrous allegation for anyone with a modicum of understanding of how the Navy, especially the Surface Navy, operated at that time.
The victims of TWA800 deserve justice, but the Navy hypothesis is a dead end, and energy would be better spent exploring more plausible explanations.
“alleged order to destroy the evidence and to invoke a cover-up demanding the silence of every officer and sailor in that group of ships.”
Time out—you know about the UAP incidents that have now been heavily publicized.
An entire battle fleet was silenced for several years on that one!
I don't believe the navy could cover that up even if they wanted to do so, and I don't think the men manning those ships would be so dishonorable as to cover up an accidental missile attack if one had happened.
The victims of TWA800 deserve justice, but the Navy hypothesis is a dead end, and energy would be better spent exploring more plausible explanations.
I know someone who was in a position to know certain information about the incident, and this person has told me that Bill Clinton did indeed order a coverup and destruction of evidence. This person tells me that this person did indeed personally see to the destruction of evidence of a missile strike on the aircraft.
This person also informs me the perpetrators were former Iranian "Republican Guard" mercenaries hired by the a wealthy Iranian family to get revenge for the shooting down of Iran air flight 655 by the USS Vincennes.
Bill Clinton ordered the coverup because this was an election year and if the public found out that elements of Iran's Republican guard were involved, the public would scream for retaliation. The air industry would be devastated by panic, and supposedly the European leadership begged him to cover it up.
I wish I could say who told me this, what position they held at the time, and what the nature of the evidence was, but just telling what the nature of the evidence was would very likely get this person in trouble, and I promised I would not reveal who this person is or what was the nature of the evidence described.
