Did the moon rocks feel fake? <big grin> After flight 800 was shot down (in my opinion), I spent a lot of time reviewing the eyewitness accounts and posting about the tragic event on the old Prodigy boards at the time. If I were on a "jury" back then, I would have voted it was not an accident. In my opinion, "we" are far too jaded about trusting eyewitnesses these days, mostly because of the UFO controversy, where most eyewitnesses are ridiculed or their sightings explained away.... The reasoning goes, if they can imagine they saw a "UFO", they can imagine "seeing" a missile hitting an airliner.... Our military did admit shooting down an Iranian(?) airliner by accident a fairly long time ago, but whether or not they would admit to accidentally shooting down one of our own passenger jets is highly debatable....
