I’ve looked around and it wasn’t a russian or American made MANPADS since they can only engage targets up to a max altitude of 14,000 feet....And Flight 800 was at around 17,000 feet.FWIW, TWA 800 was at 13,800', not 17,000'.

Dan, upthread it was mentioned that some folks thought the altitude more like 7,500 feet. This was due to observations of pilots in the area. I’m not hawking this view, but you may want to check it out.
One of the places where this was mentioned, was the testimony of a pilot who wintessed the event. That testimony was linked up thread. Comparing his altitude with the TWA 800, he was certain the event took place at around 7,500 feet.
