That evening the New York TV stations carried many interviews with witnesses who saw a missile ascend before the explosion of TWA 800.
These subsequently disappeared into the memory hole.
There was a couple that went on the Today show with photographs that clearly showed a streak ascending up towards the aircraft...they were having a fund raiser or something on their patio, so camera’s were plentiful at the event. About 10 minutes after that segment, the Today show announced that the FBI had arrived at the studios and confiscated the photos. I watched the interview that morning as it was happening.
