With regards to impact, the missiles are designed to explode in proximity of a target not blow through and explode on the other side.

Even if they rupture that same fuel tank you claimed did it by itself? That's a bit of a tricky needle to thread.

A bit strange why no one from the US Navy has blown the whistle on this so called 'cover up'.

Navy radar operators and their superiors will follow orders. Nobody else in the Navy knows anything about it, except perhaps for recovery people, and they can be ordered to shut up too.

The exhaust temperature of a B747 is between 2-00-300degC,

Not fifty feet from the engine exhaust it isn't.

jet fuel ignites at around 38degC

100 degrees Fahrenheit? Seriously? Just siting in the tanks on a hot summer day causes it to explode? Someone tell the aviation industry!

You want the NSTB report on that as well? JetA-1 will combust on its own given the right heat source. I guess you don’t know about the flash point test.
