Mike Wire was not necessarily the “top witness for the people who believe the government is lying”. He was the one whose testimony was altered a great deal to fit the CIA story and animation.
Fred Meyer probably had the best view of the entire incident.

Fred Meyer probably had the best view of the entire incident.
...
Myer was probably 14 miles away. Mike Wire was around 11 miles away. They were almost on an identical line of sight. I can believe they saw what they say, but I disagree with their interpretations. Myer is inconsistent with his testimony, one time saying he saw 4 ordnance explosions and another time saying he saw 2 ordnance explosions, and concluding himself that would imply two missiles. If he saw 4 ordnance explosions then that would imply 4 missiles. However, he saw only one vapor trial. Mike Wire said he saw only one “firework.” Wire heard four explosions. Myer couldn’t hear anything due to hearing protection he wore.
They both seem to be saying the aircraft came straight down after the final “non-ordnance” fireball. However we know from the debris field that the back end of the aircraft did not come straight down. It kept flying and came down further east than the nose section.
The only logical conclusion is they saw the back half of the plane continuing to fly and breaking apart, and finally dropping straight down. That’s also the conclusion of the NTSB, FBI, and CIA.
