Cape man buoys theory missile downed jet By Joe Dwinell

A Bay State physicist is taking on the National Transportation Safety Board in federal court in Boston to help bolster his theory a missile is to blame for taking down TWA Flight 800 a decade ago.

“I don’t want this 10-year anniversary to go by without paying attention to this plausible theory,” said Tom Stalcup, a Falmouth resident who holds a doctorate in physics and heads up the Flight 800 Independent Researchers Organization.

Flight 800 exploded and crashed in the sea south of Long Island, N.Y., at 3 p.m. on July 17, 1996.

Stalcup’s group, linked mostly by the Internet, has filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Boston seeking documents relating to the crash, including a “wreckage item” that exited the plane’s airframe at “apparent supersonic speeds.”

Stalcup alleges the Navy recovered this “smoking gun” wreckage.

Federal officials say the crash was an accident - not a missile strike from a Navy exercise or anything else

its one hell of a secret to keep for this long.

I still say it was a shoe bomb or something else like that, not a missile.

It was. They got the time wrong. I believe it was around 8pm or so.

we need to remember that these were the days when when folk in the WH did not want their golf game or other games interfered with.

there was also the plane that went down with a mid-east man (pilot) who took the plane down deliberately, but we put if off to a suicide.

We also brushed aside all inconvenient evidence that pointed to additional people and vehicles involved in the Oklahoma bombing.

and responses to the K Towers, the Cole, the 93 Twin Towers bombings...we know the luke warm response they got...

TWA 800 fits into this pattern - ignore the eyewitness accounts, for ex., who say they saw a streak of light shoot up from the ocean and then the plane exploded...

It seemed the only time clintooone bothered himself was when he had a scandal to get off the headlines

for it to be a US navy missile - everyone on that ship would have known a missile was launched off long island the night this plane was downed. no way to cover that up, someone would have talked by now.
