TWA 800 witness Naneen Levine:
“I thought it was something on the beach going
straight up. The red dot went up like this, sort of curved.
It came to a point where I thought little fireworks were
going to come down or just fade and be a flare.”
Trajectory of rising object and TWA 800
explosion as depicted by witness Naneen Levine.
The curving line to the left is the upward trajectory.
The
lines to the right represent the downward course of fiery debris.
The “red dot” that “went up” may have been a missile.
