Elmer...Since you've been sneaking and peeking at the Yahoo Groups TWA 800 board, why don't you let Fritz Meyer answer your misinformed question regarding what he said at the Witness group meeting. It's on there...
You've posted every thing else...
***********************************************************
Folks...When I contacted Meyer to get his reaction to Elmer Fudd's posting of his Witness Group statements, I included the statement Elmer is so strident about:
Here it is again:
"I saw a streak of light in the sky. I have no idea what it was. And my reaction when I saw it was, what the hell is that?"
Here's Meyer's reply to my e-mail:
TYPO = I saw a streak of light in the sky. I HAD no idea what it was. And my reaction when I saw it was, what the hell is that?"
World of difference, folks...
He had no way of knowing what it was at the time. It looked like a streak of light, and that's what he reported.
But he KNEW what ordnance looked like, and described it when the streak ended and after a space without seeing anything, further to the left, a hard explosion, military ordinance...
He admitted he had never seen the second explosion of "brilliant white light" before...It was totally new to him...
These explosions happened at TWA 800's altitude...The Massive Fireball was the LAST event to happen, further left, and lower down...
The statement Elmer keeps crowing about is misleading because of a common TYPO, folks, which we're all prone to make from time to time.
But will Elmer admit the possibility?
He's been known to make a few typos himself... And his precise time line is just that...HIS timeline, useful in his attempts to manipulate and discredit the eyewitnesses.
And considering Meyers explanation of compressed time sense due to heightened adriniline production makes perfect sense; it's happened to me and probably happened to all of you at one time or the other.
But such consideration does not fit with Elmer's agenda.
Wonder why?

Oh yeah, Elmer...
Did Faret and Wendel report that the smoke cloud they said they flew to the edge of moved NNW in direct opposition to the prevailing Winds Aloft for that time period as recorded by a radiosonde ballon released at about 2000 (8:00 p.m. local), the evening of the shootdown?

Let's take a little closer look Acehai's rant.
" . . . sneaking and peeking at the Yahoo Groups TWA 800 board".
He's referring to a forum open to the public to read just as FreeRepublic is.
"TYPO = I saw a streak of light in the sky. I HAD no idea what it was. And my reaction when I saw it was, what the hell is that?"
The "shootdown" tinfoil hats have no idea what the real significance of that statement by witness Meyer is. 1. When he saw the fiery streak, it did not look to him like the exhaust or trail or a missile, dispelling the tinfoil hats' allegations that it was obviously a missile in flight. 2. Experts want to know what witnesses actually saw - and separate those actual observations from the witnesses' conclusions after input from other sources. Which is referred to by experts as tainting input.
But he KNEW what ordnance looked like, and described it when the streak ended and after a space without seeing anything, further to the left, a hard explosion, military ordinance.
If so, why did Meyer and his crewmates initially speculate that what they had seen was a MIDAIR COLLISION?
"In the first place we didn't know what we had. I think we speculated that we might've had a mid-air because we know from here a lot that aircraft from Easthampton Airport and Montauk Sky Portal and aircraft from west of here fly the beach, and they look at the mansions along the beach. And we know that it's very common to have aircraft flying at 1,000 to 2,000 feet, east and west, right at each other along this beach."
"It's very dangerous. It's all VFR traffic. It's unregulated. The only regulation at all occurs when they fly through the southern tip of a control zone. They'll call this tower for clearance through the control zone. They'll say, all right. I'm at 1,500 feet. And the tower will tell them, well, you got another guy westbound and he's at 1,500. So, why don't one of you change altitude. so -- Mid-airs are -- the potential is always there. It's a very dangerous situation. We thought we had one."
