Which credible witness's story do you subscribe to? The ones that say the streak rose from the water or the ones who say it rose from the land or the ones who say it originated in the air? The ones who said it was a white streak or the ones who said it was a pink streak or the ones who say it was orange? Do you agree with the ones who said the direction was west to east, east to west, straight up, or traveled vertical or near vertical?
I subscribe to the theory that dozens of extremely credible witnesses saw something in the air moving towards TWA800 before it exploded. These witnesses each saw this independantly of each other and recounted what they saw without consulting each other.
