With the exception of the people who saw a "streak of light" in the sky, there is ZERO proof of a missile. What the people saw was an aircraft explode @ a good distance from their position. Now anyone with ½ a brain will tell you that perception can be distorted by distance. The thing that makes most people who are in the aviation field wary of the conspiracy theories that surround TWA 800 is the fact that all of the so called "evidence" is very weak and almost always can be refuted without much effort.

In your dreams, pal. The main evidence comes from a photograph, and the eyewitness accounts of 258 people. These people said they saw an object come from the water and strike the plane. If anyone with half a brain does not realize 1) light travels faster than sound, and 2) unless all 258 witnesses were standing on their heads, debris does not fall up, regardless of what the government told them, you have to wonder which half they have, because it obviously is not the thinking half.

If you want to wear a tin foil hat, be my guest. I will not without some real proof.

Oh, and that so called "picture" of the missile shows something that looks more like a TLAM or ALCM than a SAM. SAM's do not fly straight and level along the surface of the water and then magically turn straight up at the last moment.

Eyewitnesses are not reliable sources no matter how many there may be. Go back and study several dozen aircraft accidents that have eyewitnesses and you will see each person's story is different and only agree on the general points and rarely on anything specific.
