For many years, I held off a friend of mine on this subject. He is a retired Admiral who says that he would not believe that several shiploads of sailors would keep something like this secret. Someone would talk. Well, now someone has talked.

Another piece of information making the rounds among Medical Corps types is that the man who actually launched the missile is presently in a mental institution. This comes from a physician whose security clearance is so high that he has worked in the most secret medical facility maintained by the military (sorry, I won't say which one it is). I tend to believe anything this person says, but certainly can't prove it.

More unsubstantiated rumor, religiously believed by tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists...

Very interesting. This retired lieutenant commander would like to know how anybody could think it is more in the institutional interest of the Navy to keep the sheeple in blissful ignorance than to have the confidence of the informed

Was the flight TWA800 aircraft a low-hour airframe or a high-hour airframe?
