IAN: As hard as this is to believe, its actually not all that,
shall we say, far out. The witness report of the Air National
Guard pilot, Major Meyer, is consistent with a space hit. I'm
far more inclined to believe in a star wars brilliant-pebble
hit than a meteor hit. Here's what would tend to support the
brilliant-pebble theory. Aviation Week 7/29/96 page 32, reads:
Major Fred Meyer, a Vietnam combat veteran flying
the HH-60, was likely the first gardsman to see
Flight 800 in it's final moments. He first noticed
"at the moment of sunset....a streak of light"
above his head and about 15-20 degrees to the left
of the helicopter's centerline.
"It was on the same trajectory as a shooting star,
across the sky in front of me, generally moving
from a higher to a lower altitude." Meyer said.
The differences were that the moving light was
orange-red instead of white "and you don't see
shooting stars in broad daylight."
As the pilot focused on the light, an explosion
occurred the size of a circle made by thumb and
forefinger at arm's length.
He dismissed the notion that a SAM was involved.
"I've seen missiles fired [in combat]," said
Meyer, who flew search and rescue missions from
a ship off the coast of North Vietnam during
1966-1969. "Nothing in my experience is saying
missile."
Since some reports state that the missile seemed to come
from a boat, and that it curved -- unlike a meteor but
like a guided missile -- it must be considered that a
military agent such as Major Meyer might be persuaded
to give witness contrary to what he actually saw. There
are even reports, such as from the NY Post, that he
said at the time that it DID look like a missile, so
Major Meye, which is it? A b-pebble might fit the bill,
for it might both look and not look like a missile.
However, if a star wars test error, this would be a good
reason for a cover up. Not only is star wars top secret,
but it such an error would threaten to kill the project
if the public found out. But now back to earth, get this:
FACT 3: The U.S. Coast Guard's "Notice to Mariners"
states that the Navy planned daily live-fire exercis-
es during the month of July '96 less than 200 miles
NW of the TWA 800 explosion ( USCG notice is here
( http://www.navcen.uscg.mil/lnm/d1/LNM0127.TXT ).
LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS - JULY 1996
MA - OFF/SHORE - The U.S. Navy
advises of daily firing exercises...
Considering that zones off the NY shore were also re-
served for military exercises, could it be that live-
fire exercises were extended to other reserved areas?,
as eyewitness reports would indicate. It is also re-
ported that the USCG issued a notice of NY coast fir-
ings that has now been removed from their web site.
That notice would be the smoking gun.
