TWA 800 Whistleblower revealing that a missile was fired and that they hit a target thought to be an "Airbus"; Note that this was in 1996 right before the election, used by Hillary/Bill Clinton to set the false narrative of "terrorist attacks on American soil". FALSE FLAG!

I remember that event, which I followed closely. Lots of eyewitnesses and circumstantial evidence to place a Navy guided missile frigate near the flight path of the aircraft (Boeing 747-100).
The official verdict was an explosion of fuel vapors in the central body tank. This had never happened before, and the fuel-air concentration in that tank would not have been conducive to such an explosion (at best, a deflagration).
Two anomalous items of data were never explained: (1) the aiplane's sudden drop in altitude (as recorded by an aneroid barometer), and (2) the airplane's sudden drop in speed (as recorded by the pitot tube, also aneroid barometer).
It occurred to me that the anomalous data items would have been perfectly explained by an external explosion and its blast wave, which in reflecting off the airplane body would momentarily increase the Static Pressure of the atmosphere. Increased static pressure measured by an aneroid barometer would be interpreted as a lower altitude (higher pressure). It also would be interpreted by a pitot tube as a lower airspeed (lower ratio of dynamic pressure to static pressure). I do not recall these insights ever being mentioned. (My background is in aerodynamics and gas dynamics.)
I think it is fairly evident that a Navy vessel mistakenly engaged a civilian transport, and the government (Clinton administration) was determined to cover up responsibility. I think there are senior Navy officers who are culpable in the concealment of manslaughter who need to be court-marshaled and punished. (An error like this happened in 1988 with Iran Air 655, Reagan administration.)
