Retired airline Pilot Capt. Ray Lahr has brought suit against the NTSB for release of the data pertaining to the alleged "zoom-climb" by TWA800. NTSB has stated that this event was what the hundreds of witnesses observed prior to the TWA800 explosion.

Brookhaven National Labs Report: The Rosetta Stone to the Flight800 Mystery?
Was the FBI Bamboozled about TWA Flight 800?
Who was William Kabofovic?
The "Airborne Witness Matrix" posted here by Asmodeus, along with being obfuscative and incomplete is also patently WRONG.
V. AIRBORNE WITNESS MATRIX
"There were several airborne witnesses. Their observations are recorded on the chart below. Except for summaries 070-29,30, and 52, which was the Air National Guard helicopter crew, no airborne witness observed streaks."
You will notice in the NTSB's published document the DUPLICATION of the description...
"STREAK EAST TO WEST"
This duplication is flatly WRONG.
Chris Baur reported a "streak" from WEST to EAST, while Fred Mayer reported a "streak" from EAST to WEST.
"Almost due south [of the helicopter], there was a hard white light, like burning pyrotechnics, in level flight," Capt. Chris Baur told investigators. "I was trying to figure out what it was. .. It struck an object coming from the right and made it explode." ..... Two NY Air National Guard pilots with the best view of the crash of TWA 800 ....... one believes the airliner was struck by a fast-moving object coming from the east, while the other saw a fiery trail from the west....
The "witness chart?(!!!), as you put it to try to cast suspicion on it, is from the Donaldson brothers' "shootdown" website. Here's a better gif version from another "shootdown" tinfoil hat's website.
The allegation that I have been "assassinating" witnesses earns you the right to be the first tinfoil hat recipient of the following:
I love it when he inadvertently provides us with more data... LOL
While many suspect as much, most people are in a state of denial. They live in a fantasy world where they believe practically everything that the "news media" spews out. "Into the Buzzsaw" appears to be a must read for those who desire to know what really goes on.
Thanks for the link backhoe...
And what do you think about the intimidation of investigators and jounalists concerning TWA800?
And finally, what gives you the right to call yourself an expert in analyzing witness statements in relation to the crash of an aircraft? Are you saying that you work for the NTSB?
David Mayer - NTSB: I mentioned that the Safety Board interviewed the co-pilot of the national guard helicopter. The helicopter co-pilot was debriefed after the flight on the night of the accident and he reported that he saw a large section of debris engulfed in flames and falling and, that as it was falling a piece of wreckage broke off and he saw it fall in flames, as well. He didn't report seeing anything in the sky before he saw this debris. Certainly he didn't say that he saw a streak of light. A few days later, he was interviewed by the FBI and he reported that he had seen a fireball -- a pyro? or a flare type object in the sky before the flame and debris. We interviewed him in 1997 -- in January, 1997 -- about this discrepancy and he said he didn't remember the streak until the next day.

What gives you the right to call yourself an expert in analyzing witness statements in relation to the crash of an aircraft??
And again, what do you think about the intimidation of investigators and journalists concerning TWA800?
One other thing you haven't answerered. Why is it that your timeline disagrees with the data you present as your source material?
