"What matters is the percentage of those who said where the streak came from surface or sky and who had a clear view."

If that were true, then the whole streak of light issue has no credence at all, since the percentage of witnesses who reported a streak of light is roughly 25% of the total witnesses. And actually, I read most of the 755 witness accounts. It takes a long time, and doesn't really provide a clear picture of anything.

It should be clear that the numbers above refer not to the total number of witnesses reporting the "streak" in question but the number who reported the streak and who reported its origin and who had a clear view of that origin. Obviously such a group will be a small portion of all people who heard or saw anything related to the crash.

And actually, I read most of the 755 witness accounts.

Then you should know that most of the accounts are of people who heard multiple bangs or who turned to look after things were already falling. You make it sound like all 755 people were looking in the same area all the time but only 25% saw the mysterious streak. That's as misleading as someone on the other extreme saying almost all 755 witnesses saw a missile.
