The CIA "animation" claimed what they saw was the nose separating and overtaking the fuselage--
While a radar plot showed a fast boat leaving the scene amidst many other craft speeding toward the scene.
FBI agents were seen pulling the fuselage wreckage outward, and upholstery fabric bearing a suspicious stain was discounted as merely a 3M adhesive--
Never mind that 3M did not make adhesive to match the stain.
That was 1996, during the administration which fired Woolsey for calling Ramzi Yousef an Iraqi agent.
The shoulder-fired SAM threat is not new.
