You can't seem to tell the same story twice:
"My wife & I saw the 'party tape' loop being shown on a network satellite feed the night of the incident. Obviously, if I had the 'cocktail party tape', we would know exactly [how long it was]. It disappeared after being shown a few times many years ago, as has been discussed on many previous threads."
At any rate, those who provide incontestable proof that they did see something happen on live TV broadcasts are witnesses - and those who make questionable claims they saw something on live TV broadcasts are alleged witnesses, because of their questionable credibility.
It's interesting to try to find a timely report from those alleging to be Flight 800 TV broadcast(s) streak or streak & fireball witnessses. One would think they'd at least rush to mention it in forums or otherwise on the internet. Or to authorities. But it was only with the entrance of missile(s) shootdown conspiracy theorists and their assorted kooks and nuts camp followers later on that this allegation began to very slowly appear, most or all or which allegations had more and more glaringly obvious differences from each other as time went by.
Making that even more interesting, none of their fellow missile(s) shootdown conspiracy theorists joined the growing chorus of doubters, thereby engaging in the coverup of the truth while alleging that their intent was to "determine the truth".
That in turn led to their efforts to badger, bully, harrass and make personal attacks on those who disagreed with them, whoever they are.
Which have been and continue to be your tactics on the TWA 800 threads.
Hal responds to: tpaine - #122:
"I and my wife saw the 'streak of light' video the night of the crash, - and we were both amazed the next morning that it no longer 'existed'. I have no specific theory of what happened, but I know what I saw that night."

Your point Hal? -- Yes, those two quotes are mine, and they "tell the same story twice" - to everyone but weird you.
At any rate, those who provide incontestable proof that they did see something happen on live TV broadcasts are witnesses - and those who make questionable claims they saw something on live TV broadcasts are alleged witnesses, because of their questionable credibility.
Yet another bizarre comment from Hal. -Unless a witness to the 'streak of light tape' recorded the event, they have no proof. - I'd speculate that in 1996, not many people recorded news shows. -Is this questionable credibility?

Not that many people were active on the Internet in 1996 Hal. -- And few rational people make a practice of ~calling authorities~ about disappearing tv tapes till long after events are 'explained' by authorities, contradicting what we saw.
But it was only with the entrance of missile(s) shootdown conspiracy theorists and their assorted kooks and nuts camp followers later on that this allegation began to very slowly appear, most or all or which allegations had more and more glaringly obvious differences from each other as time went by.
You can't find any differences in my statement Hal, yet as time goes by you get increasingly frantic to ~claim~ you see some. - Sound familiar to your rant above?

Good grief hal, - that paragraph is so disjointed as to be almost incoherent.
Get some rest, and ping me back in the morning when you feel better.
