If 157 people all said some form of: "I saw what looked like a missile,
I saw a missile, I may have seen a missile, etc" chances are that there
is some truth to their statements. If there are on the other hand many
wildly contradictory stories, then an investigator assigns probability
values to various pieces of each story based on the amount of
corroboration.

Eyewitness accounts are considered factual evidence, are they not?
The fact that much remains classified is a smoking gun in and of itself.
Using your pet theory, that the French Intelligence servicess are
somehow stirring things up, I can also see a possible scenario: that
French Agents were escaping US jurisdiction on the plane with some
extremely dangerous intelligence. Navy Captain, at the direction of the
DIA or NSA, says, " Fish food, anyone?" This idea is only as implausble
as your rationalization.
