> The Southampton Press [1] reports that on May 13th,
> Long Island resident Dede Muma accidently received
> a fax from Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical [2] that was
> intended for the FBI's office in Calverton, Long
> Island. The fax indicates that parts of a U.S.
> Navy missile target drone, a BQM-34 Firebee I [3],
> may have been found in the wreckage of TWA 800.
>
> The reason that Muma accidently received the fax,
> which she passed on to the Southampton Press, was
> probably because her fax number is 369-4310, while
> the FBI's number is 369-4301. About the fax, the
> Southampton Press states:
>
> Official documents faxed mistakenly to
> a Riverhead resident...show that the
> Federal Bureau of Investigation...was
> investigating whether pieces of debris
> found among the wreckage of TWA Fight
> 800 were the remnants of an aerial
> target drone used by the U.S. Navy...
>
> The fax shows a diagram of what appears
> to be a missile, along with a breakdown
> of its tail section and a parts list...
>
> The object shown in the fax was identified
> this week by Jane's Information Services
> in Alexandria, Virginia as a Teledyne
> Ryan BQM-34 Firebee I, an air or surface-
> launched recoverable aerial target.
>
> The targets are used all over the world,
> including within the military "warning
> areas" that come as close as about 10
> nautical miles off Moriches Inlet in the
> Atlantic Ocean. The Navy practices shoot-
> ing down drones within the warning areas.
>
> Ms. Muma said she called the FBI when
> she received the [Firebee] fax... Ms.
> Muma was told to "send it along to them,
> [the FBI] and destroy the original." She
> said she asked what would happen if she
> didn't do so, and was told "we'll have
> to investigate you."
>
> The source of the fax, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical
> of San Diego, CA, manufactures Firebee drones for
> the Navy. The "Firebee fax" Muma received was sent
> from Erich Hittinger of Teledyne to FBI agent Ken
> Maxwell, who was to pass it on to a Teledyne Ryan
> representative at the FBI's Long Island office,
> Walt Hamilton.
>
> Hittinger of Teledyne Ryan told the Southampton
> Press that the FBI contacted them to ask if orange
> pieces of debris found at the TWA 800 crash site
> were from one of their Firebee drones, which are
> also orange [3]. Hamilton was then flown from San
> Diego to the FBI's Long Island facility to examine
> the suspected Firebee debris. According to Hittinger,
> Hamilton concluded that the orange metal "wasn't
> from our Firebee," which suggests that it was
> from someone's Firebee, but not ours.
>
> Question: If your business depended upon government
> contracts, would you be inclined to prove that the
> government, your employer, killed people? It could
> prove to be a fatal business decision.
>
>
> WITH NAVY DRONE DEBRIS IN HAND
>
> In early May 1997, while the FBI had pieces of
> debris that they suspected came from a U.S. Navy
> missile-drone, what was the FBI telling us? FBI
> Director Louis Freeh was telling us it looks like
> the crash "was a catastrophic mechanical failure."
> [4] FBI agent James Kallstrom was saying: "We see
> no evidence of a piece of shrapnel from a missile
> or a warhead going through the plane." [5]
>
> On May 12th Newsday [6] reported that with no
> evidence of a missile or foul play, the FBI was
> planning to end its investigation by early August.
> Clearly, as we have already seen with the cover-
> up of the explosives residue [7], there is no
> correlation between the FBI's public-relations
> front and the true story behind the scenes.
>
> Rather than telling the truth that they suspected
> a Navy missile-drone was involved, the FBI was
> pushing "mechanical failure" while simultaneously
> intimidating Dede Muma with threats of an invest-
> igation against her for refusing to destroy her
> errantly acquired evidence of U.S. Navy culp-
> ability in the downing of TWA Flight 800.
>
>
> HEAVY MILITARY AIRTRAFFIC
>
> The skies off the Long Island shore on July 17,
> 1996 were filled with aircraft. Not only were
> several Air National Guard aircraft in the air,
> and not only was a high-speed vehicle heading
> toward TWA 800 as reported by eyewitnesses,
> radar, and a satellite, but a U.S. Navy P-3
> Orion was flying almost directly above TWA
> 800 when the accident occurred.
>
> Furthermore, several mysterious small aircraft
> fitting the profile of target drones were also
> seen in the area. Not only did Linda Kabot photo-
> graph what seems to be a drone missile [8], but
> the Long Island newspaper The Independent [9]
> reported that witnesses saw a "smaller plane"
> flying near TWA 800 at crash time. Indeed, a
> Firebee drone looks like a "smaller plane."[3]
>
> Even more, as I watched CNN on the night of the
> crash, a pilot was interviewed who said he saw
> what looked like a "stunt plane" crash into TWA
> 800. A Firebee looks like a "stunt plane," and
> alas, it seems that they may have found parts
> of this "stunt plane" in TWA 800.
>
> Yet more, the Boston Globe [10] reported that in
> addition to seeing "a brilliant flare-like glow
> that streaked toward the plane," witnesses also
> saw "a low-flying aircraft without lights cruising
> off shore." Could that aircraft without lights
> have been one of the aerial target drones, perhaps
> Firebees, launched from Wallops Island on July
> 17th? [11] Drones can fly for hundreds of miles.
>
> That there was such heavy military air-traffic
> on July 17 should not be a big surprise because
> there was a massive offshore military war-game
> called "Global Yankee '96" [12] underway at the
> time. Virtually all the military assets in the
> air around TWA 800 that evening, including the
> Air National Guard aircraft, where scheduled
> to be involved in "Global Yankee '96." [13]
>
>
> With such heavy military air-traffic and wargames
> in the area around TWA 800, which was on the "Betty
> track" (a safe route around active naval exercise
> zones), is it a surprise that over 150 witnesses
> saw TWA 800 being hit by a missile-like projectile?
> Is it a surprise that parts of a Navy missile-drone
> may have been found among the debris of TWA 800?
> I would dare to say that it is not a surprise.
