—The evidence unearthed by Dr. Stalcup establishes that the United States, including its agencies, such as the United States Missile Defense Agency (formerly known as the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization), the United States Department of Defense, and the United States Navy (the “Government Defendants”), acting in concert and working side-by-side with Raytheon Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation (the “Contractor Defendants”) and DOES 1 through 20, inclusive (collectively the “Defendants”) were testing the Aegis Weapons System and firing SM-2 missiles with live warheads from warship(s) at aerial missile targets off the coast of New York in close proximity to commercial airline flight paths. One such missile struck TWA flight 800, causing it to break apart and crash into the Atlantic Ocean, killing everyone aboard.

The government was testing missiles in one of the most commercially dense air spaces?

This is AI BS.

I believe that naval vessels were off the coast of Maryland doing training. A new RIM-156A during homing phase locked on to the TWA jet rather than the target. RIM-156A naval missiles have a long range and were in testing at the time. I don’t believe crew were adequately trained for OTH target discernment.

It’s like having a visitors center beyond a firing range, in line with the targets with no containment berm.

Some years later, while being interviewed on network tv about his new book, George Stephanopolous was asked about the
“situation room” at the White House, like when was it used, etc. Stephy said he recalled everyone going to the situation room “after the TWA 800 shootdown.” Sometimes they slip up and tell the truth in passing.

~~~

That’s the part that I don’t get.

I get it that perhaps the Navy isn’t going to sail all the way out to the serogasso sea just to conduct some missile tests, but doing them right off the coast of long island would be negligent.

No, it was known to be so shortly after the incident. The Clinton Administration buried the truth. I remember the story from real-time.

Don't believe a word of this until they release a name of the ship that could have shot the missile(s).

It would be simple to ascertain. In 1996, the United States Navy had 27 Ticonderoga class (CG-47) cruisers in commission. How many were stationed on the East Coast and underway that day and which ones were within range of Long Island.

Subpoena the deck logs of those vessels from the USN and any firing of missiles will be documented there. The Deck Logs of a US Naval Vessel are a legal record and the Navy has every single one.

If they say they don't have them it's a lie and a red flag.

If they refuse to provide the deck logs of a ship underway in US waters in peacetime it's a red flag.

However in the absence of even the name of ship that could have possibly shot the missiles I'm calling B.S. on this.

Two other considerations.

1.) I've shot missiles (and torpedos) several times at the Pacific Missile Range Facility. And 5 inch guns at Kaho‘olawe. The are not casually let loose. The preparations are extensive and involve many different individuals and organizations. There would be multiple records of same in existence, including Coast Guard Notices to Mariners and (prior to 2000) Notices to Airmen

2.) The crew of a Tico class cruiser is 300+, they would surely be totally aware of any ordnance expended on that date and someone would have talked by now.

A theory like this only has legs because of the total lack of public knowledge regarding the details of use of weapons by the USN. Individuals with experience of doing so scoff at the notion that a Navy ship shot down TWA800.

Your statement might carry water but for the main character having spent 30 years developing/FOIAing evidence and preparing for court…
