A late reply but I got tied up.
The entire anti missile system as well as previous trials is explained in “The Downing of TWA Flight 800.” It is also mentioned, although not in as much detail, in “TWA Flight 800 and the Attack on America” by Cashill and Sanders. The former book is more readable, but I really like the second one better because it has an 18 page note listing and virtually everything in the book is sourced back to an origin.
There are actually two aspects to this story: What happened, and the cover up. What happened can still be debated, but the documented evidence of the cover-up that took place is completely damming.
I'm not interested in tracking down either book and spending the time reading it. How about a quick synopsis of the missile system in question?

I get their version of what happened - the military missile system shot it down. As for coverup, there are probably hundreds of versions of that.
