My brother saw it. He says something streaked toward the plane, not the other way around.”
it’s amazing how so many have completely discounted the eyewitness accounts of those who saw it with their own eyes, for no motive other than political reasons.
That's because eye witnesses are quite often wrong. Case in point, AA587 which crashed in Rockaway (Queens, NY). There were some people who clearly stated, on camera, that they saw a missile hit it. Didn't happen. Pilot error (actually due to incorrect training) caused the Vstab to get ripped from the plane.
