- Simply select one choice from each group
to assemble the definitive theory as to what destroyed TWA Flight 800,
killing over two hundred people. Don't worry about the casualties! Just
make up your theory and post away!
-

it

where it was intended to

d) a Sidewinder
e) a RIM-92 Stinger
f) a LEAP anti-ballistic interceptor
g) Something Else (please specify)
-
- and it was using
a) semi-active radar guidance (please state illuminating platform)
b) active radar guidance
c) infrared guidance
d) laser guidance
e) Some Other System (please specify)
-
- It was seen by
a) one eyewitness
b) two to ten eyewitnesses
c) eleven to fifty eyewitnesses
d) fifty-one or more eyewitnesses
-
- who are unanimous that they saw
a) a point of ligbt
b) a streak of light
c) a smoke trail
-
- which was moving
a) vertically upwards
b) vertically downwards
c) from left to right
d) from right to left
-
- Congratulations! Your theory is complete!
You and you alone now know the secrets behind this tragedy!

- The Southampton Press [1] reports that
on May 13th, Long Island resident Dede Muma accidently received a fax from
Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical [2] that was intended for the FBI's office in
Calverton, Long Island. The fax indicates that parts of a U.S. Navy missile
target drone, a BQM-34 Firebee I [3], may have been found in the wreckage
of TWA 800.
-
- The reason that Muma accidently received
the fax, which she passed on to the Southampton Press, was probably because
her fax number is 369-4310, while the FBI's number is 369-4301. About the
fax, the Southampton Press states:
-
- Official documents faxed mistakenly to
a Riverhead resident...show that the Federal Bureau of Investigation...was
investigating whether pieces of debris found among the wreckage of TWA
Fight 800 were the remnants of an aerial target drone used by the U.S.
Navy...
-
- The fax shows a diagram of what appears
to be a missile, along with a breakdown of its tail section and a parts
list...
-
- The object shown in the fax was identified
this week by Jane's Information Services in Alexandria, Virginia as a Teledyne
Ryan BQM-34 Firebee I, an air or surface- launched recoverable aerial target.
-
- The targets are used all over the world,
including within the military warning areas that come as close as about
10 nautical miles off Moriches Inlet in the Atlantic Ocean. The Navy practices
shoot- ing down drones within the warning areas.
-
- Ms. Muma said she called the FBI when
she received the [Firebee] fax... Ms. Muma was told to send it along to
them, [the FBI] and destroy the original. She said she asked what would
happen if she didn't do so, and was told we'll have to investigate you.
-
- The source of the fax, Teledyne Ryan
Aeronautical of San Diego, CA, manufactures Firebee drones for the Navy.
The Firebee fax Muma received was sent from Erich Hittinger of Teledyne
to FBI agent Ken Maxwell, who was to pass it on to a Teledyne Ryan representative
at the FBI's Long Island office, Walt Hamilton.
-
- Hittinger of Teledyne Ryan told the Southampton
Press that the FBI contacted them to ask if orange pieces of debris found
at the TWA 800 crash site were from one of their Firebee drones, which
are also orange [3]. Hamilton was then flown from San Diego to the FBI's
Long Island facility to examine the suspected Firebee debris. According
to Hittinger, Hamilton concluded that the orange metal wasn't from our
Firebee, which suggests that it was from someone's Firebee, but not ours.

- Question: If your business depended upon
government contracts, would you be inclined to prove that the government,
your employer, killed people? It could prove to be a fatal business decision.

- WITH NAVY DRONE DEBRIS IN HAND
-
- In early May 1997, while the FBI had
pieces of debris that they suspected came from a U.S. Navy missile-drone,
what was the FBI telling us? FBI Director Louis Freeh was telling us it
looks like the crash was a catastrophic mechanical failure. [4] FBI agent
James Kallstrom was saying: We see no evidence of a piece of shrapnel from
a missile or a warhead going through the plane. [5]
-
- On May 12th Newsday [6] reported that
with no evidence of a missile or foul play, the FBI was planning to end
its investigation by early August. Clearly, as we have already seen with
the cover- up of the explosives residue [7], there is no correlation between
the FBI's public-relations front and the true story behind the scenes.
-
- Rather than telling the truth that they
suspected a Navy missile-drone was involved, the FBI was pushing mechanical
failure while simultaneously intimidating Dede Muma with threats of an
invest- igation against her for refusing to destroy her errantly acquired
evidence of U.S. Navy culp- ability in the downing of TWA Flight 800.

- HEAVY MILITARY AIRTRAFFIC
-
- The skies off the Long Island shore on
July 17, 1996 were filled with aircraft. Not only were several Air National
Guard aircraft in the air, and not only was a high-speed vehicle heading
toward TWA 800 as reported by eyewitnesses, radar, and a satellite, but
a U.S. Navy P-3 Orion was flying almost directly above TWA 800 when the
accident occurred.
-
- Furthermore, several mysterious small
aircraft fitting the profile of target drones were also seen in the area.
Not only did Linda Kabot photo- graph what seems to be a drone missile
[8], but the Long Island newspaper The Independent [9] reported that witnesses
saw a smaller plane flying near TWA 800 at crash time. Indeed, a Firebee
drone looks like a smaller plane.[3]
-
- Even more, as I watched CNN on the night
of the crash, a pilot was interviewed who said he saw what looked like
a stunt plane crash into TWA 800. A Firebee looks like a stunt plane, and
alas, it seems that they may have found parts of this stunt plane in TWA
800.
-
- Yet more, the Boston Globe [10] reported
that in addition to seeing a brilliant flare-like glow that streaked toward
the plane, witnesses also saw a low-flying aircraft without lights cruising
off shore. Could that aircraft without lights have been one of the aerial
target drones, perhaps Firebees, launched from Wallops Island on July 17th?
[11] Drones can fly for hundreds of miles.
-
- That there was such heavy military air-traffic
on July 17 should not be a big surprise because there was a massive offshore
military war-game called Global Yankee '96 [12] underway at the time. Virtually
all the military assets in the air around TWA 800 that evening, including
the Air National Guard aircraft, where scheduled to be involved in Global
Yankee '96. [13].
-
-
- With such heavy military air-traffic
and wargames in the area around TWA 800, which was on the Betty track (a
safe route around active naval exercise zones), is it a surprise that over
150 witnesses saw TWA 800 being hit by a missile-like projectile? Is it
a surprise that parts of a Navy missile-drone may have been found among
the debris of TWA 800? I would dare to say that it is not a surprise.
