And as I have pointed out before, in order to believe this theory you have to believe that the U.S. military is so criminally stupid as to be shooting off missiles near or into one of the most heavily traveled air corridors in the entire world. For the record is that what you are saying?
Cashill talks about a Cooperative Engagement Capability program, "an enormously complex system", being under development by the Navy at the time of the explosion. The system sought to track and integrate data on multiple combat elements including missiles, and used "live fire tests which began as early as 1994 in Puerto Rico". Cashill mentions another test in 1994 "when the various ships in the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower battle group successfully cued and tracked a tactical ballistic missile...off the Virginia coast" (also "near one of the most heavily traveled air corridors in the world" if I remember correctly). He goes on later "...The P-3 should have given the game away. The authorities could explain away the hundreds of missile sightings on July 17, the radar track of a missile, the photo of a drone, the photo of a smoke trail, the missile sightings on July 12 and July 17, even the location of ships and submarines. There was no denying, however, that right in the middle of the mix, exactly where one would expect to find a surveillance aircraft in a missile test, was the P-3. Its transponder "broken", the plane was flying within a mile or so of what was said to be the first spontaneous midair explosion in the era of Jet-A fuel."
Get hold of the book and read it if you haven't already. See what you think. It's part of the record.
