THIRTY SHIPS IN OCEAN BELOW TWA FLIGHT 800 CRASH (c) 8/28/99 Ian Williams Goddard RADAR data from the NTSB pertaining to the TWA Flight 800 crash that was recently acquired by independent researchers and Insight magazine was presented yesterday at a press conference seen on C-Span and reported by UPI. The newly acquired RADAR data does these three things: (1) RADAR data supports claims of significant Navy activity close to the Flight 800 crash. The RADAR shows some 30 boats/ships within 30 miles of the crash that move around 30 knots, consistent with large Navy ships. Most of the ships move in group formation in or toward the reported-to-be active military-warning zone W-105. RADAR also reveals a plane flying above those 30 vessels that makes sharp u-turns and powerful accelerations in an odd back-and-forth flight pattern, as if engaged in some exercise. Aerospace Daily (8/28/96) reported that, while warning zone W-105 was active, Navy officials claimed "a ship never checked in to use it." Now, RADAR reveals for all to see that many Navy-ship-like vessels did in fact occupy the warning zone. Not only should no non-military vessels or aircraft be in an active warning zone, but no vessels or aircraft fit the profile of the activities revealed by the RADAR data better than military vessels and aircraft. The RADAR evidence (plus witness accounts of Navy ships) clearly indicates that the official claim that the closet Navy ship was 185 miles away from the Flight 800 crash must be a false claim. Consider further that FBI spokesman James Kallstrom admitted that some of the vessels below the Flight 800 crash were in fact "Navy vessels that were on classified maneuvers" (http://www.erols.com/igoddard/coverup4.htm). It seems that about 30 ships fit that profile, yet none aboard have spoken publicly about the spectacular view of the crash they could have had. The Navy also had a wargame called "Global Yankee '96" scheduled in the area at the time (http://multipull.com/twacasefile/newsfour.html), and yet the official Navy claim remains that the closet Navy ship to the crash was 185 miles away. FIRO Report: http://flight800.org/flotilla.htm (2) The RADAR data refutes the claim made by the CIA and the NTSB that the plane climbed sharply after the initial event, looking like a rocket to witnesses. This is because the RADAR data shows that the ground-speed of the main fuselage sharply INCREASED after the initial event, where as, due to gravity, the ground-speed of the jet would DECREASE if it starting climbing as the CIA claimed. So the RADAR data is in conflict with the official scenario. At the following webpage you can see this in a report written by Tom Stalcup, Research Assistant and doctoral candidate in Physics at Florida State University and head of FIRO (Flight 800 Independent Researchers Organization): http://flight800.org/radar3.htm (3) The RADAR data proves that significant evidence about activity around Flight 800 was withheld from the public and was released only after the efforts of independent researchers. It also draws into question how the CIA and NTSB could produce the crash-trajectory simulations that they did with the RADAR data that they had. You can even see the significant discrepancy between primary RADAR returns for the main fuselage and the NTSB simulations shown side-by-side in NTSB Exhibit 22C, pages 17 and 23: http://www.ntsb.gov/Events/twa800/exhibits/ex_22C.pdf _________________________________________________ INSIGHT: "New Radar Data, New Questions" 9/20/99: http://www.insightmag.com/articles/story4.html UPI: "Group has new look at TWA 800 crash" (8/27/99): http://news.excitecom/news/u/990827/17/politics-twa800 ------------------------------------------------------------ GODDARD'S JOURNAL: http://www.erols.com/igoddard/journal.htm ____________________________________________________________
