Seem a bit odd there were naval ships training in the area and many credible people saw what they believed to be a missile or flare going up towards the aircraft.

I personally never believed this aircraft simply exploded due to some internal issue in the aircraft.

BTW, thanks.

I don't find it odd at all. People see what they want to see. How many of them have actually seen a military surface-to-air missile in flight? It's quite a sight to see, especially at night. And none of the descriptions I've seen resemble one.
