Pentagon calls mystery missile 'unexplained,' cannot rule out threat

Same guy was just on Brett Baier’s Special Report.

Your link comes from Cmdr. Donaldson's group. I used to have a long post about this but it has been lost for reasons I do not understand. Cmdr. Donaldson is now deceased but his group lives on through his brother.

The information at the link is deliberately deceptive. It is referring to Notices to Mariners. There was a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued for activity that evening in W-105 up to 18000 feet. (Not many boats at 18000 feet!). As I said years ago: Donaldson is Navy. Once Navy, always Navy, I guess. He is (was) just trying to deflect attention from the Navy which almost certainly, IMHO, shot TWA 800 down by accident.

I can furnish you with a lot more information if you wish. (Specific questions would help.)

Now you’ve got me thinking. Maybe this was a warning shot from Russia or China making us aware of exactly how vulnerable we are in the wake of Obama’s dollar depreciation(?)

They told the MO to quit using a Blackberry. I guess there’s an app for that.

I thought my question was specific. Where did you read that?

[ml/nj]

Don't play games with me. YOU linked to that cr@p that Donaldson posted.

The NOTAM, or a request from the Navy to the FAA to produce the NOTAM (I forget which) was reproduced in James Sanders' Downing of TWA Flight 800. Before that I saw it on the internet at one or more sites that focused upon TWA 800.

you wrote, “This is quite different from TWA800. There were NOTAMS for that.”

I asked where you read that.

“The NOTAM, or a request from the Navy to the FAA to produce the NOTAM (I forget which) was reproduced in James Sanders’ Downing of TWA Flight 800. Before that I saw it on the internet at one or more sites that focused upon TWA 800.”

Here’s what I saw ‘on the internet’:
“Federal Aviation Administration officials said yesterday the only NOTAM for that particular area came after TWA Flight 800 exploded, when a Navy plane in the vicinity was asked to circle over the wreckage until rescue vessels arrived.”

Do you think the Navy shot down TWA 800?

Perhaps someone screwed up and fired an ground to air missile off. It just seems strange the reports from other areas within the state to not verify it was a vertical launch. Or at least I or one have not seen them yet.

Do you think the Navy shot down TWA 800?

Yes.

Accidentally, I believe.

I am not alone.
