Good luck with that. The evidence was never properly handled, catalogued and archived. No one is ever gonna be able to examine this scientifically.

You know, I may have harbored a grudge against him inappropriately for a long time. I happen to remember some unsavory things he did at the time that made me think he was dirty, but perhaps he was forced into it.
I have to tell you, I would sooner retirn and spill my gutts than do what he may have been forced into.

“Anyone remember a similar incident just in the last three or four years? I think it was on the west coast where a pilot reported a missile streaked by his aircraft which was several thousand feet in the air. Several on the ground also saw it.”
Yes. and it wasn’t the first ‘close call’ they had had in that area.

I saw that video clip as well. It was taken during some kind of get together on an outside deck. As soon as I saw it I told my wife it liiked almost exactly like the patriot missiles I had seen in Saudi Arabia during the first gulf war. I too remember that video with the details about the deck and a party. It's amazing that it can't be found. Kind of 1984ish...there's no video yet we all remember it.
I also saw the video. As I remember it, it was taken during a party at a Long Island home. People were being filmed and you could see the stream of light going up in the background.

I somehow suspect that Nelson DeMille got some input about Flight 800 from Jim Kahlstrom. No proof...just female intuition.

This can only be because you have no knowledge, or worse.. Your first link shows a report filed ten days after the incident. How does this contradict what I said?
To: bobsatwork
You cannot really expect the police to have located the witnesses, conducted all their interviews, and filed all their written reports within three and a half hours of the crash. Do you really think all these disparate people pretended they saw essentially the same thing based in interviews within days of the event. What would they have based their reports upon? Was it a giant conspiracy, or did they all have the same dream within a day or two? What?

They vilified Pierre Salinger for the missile theory.

To: ml/nj
You cannot really expect the police ... No, I don't think that at all. I do think that if, say, five people called the NYTimes, CBS, police, Fox, Drudge, etc, all saying "I saw a missile", it would have been reported. On July 17 or 18. News orgs have no problem repoting "witnesses claim seeing..." type of stories, and police have no problem reporting they are following up on witness reports, without waiting to complete investigations (almost daily I hear stories like "police are investigating claims that shots were heard", or similar). What do I think? I think on the night of the 17th witnesses saw something they did not understand - a ball of fire (maybe two), a streak of light. THEN they heard about TWA800, and the widely held suspicion of a bomb or missile, and then concluded that the streak they saw was a missile. And, no, I don't think they are liars, drunks, hallucinating, etc.

Aw come on, you don’t think the Clintons or better yet their shaddow enforcers would be involved in something like that do you? ;-)
Yes, that is the reality isn’t it.

Agreed.
Anyone that has done any inspections of large fuel tanks is that there’s a ‘sweet zone’ in which an explosion can occur. The amount of fuel left in the tank means very little. It’s the ration of fuel to air in correspondence with the volume. Too much fuel vapor, and air becomes too saturated to sustain combustion, too little and it won’t either.
I found the ‘bare wire in the CFT’ a pretty thin final cause. 747’s are built to take abuse. Fact is, for whatever reason, we are never going to know what happened. I’m fairly certain it had nothing to do with wires in fuel tanks.
To: RaceBannon
Nope. A shoulder fired missile just does not have the propellant to get that high up.

Yes, thwe more modern ones do. The REDEYE didn’t, but the SA-11 and upo do and so do the modern Stingers
That is only straight up, though, slant range, not zigging to catch something jinking and still get over 12 Angels.

You didn’t say Muslims you said Arabs. Lebanese, Jordanians & Egyptians are Arab whatever their religion might be.

I thought you were bright enough to get the underlying message.
I guess not.
Focus on one word, miss the point.
