Miller:  
We still can not overlook the fact that several eye witnesses saw a streak on
light in the sky which intersected Flt 800's flight path. This streak of light
was noted before witnesses saw the aircraft explode.

We have heard them all, some have said it was a methane cloud.. The TWA
retirees contend that it would require an outside source of ignition to cause
the center wing tank (CWT) to explode. Remember there are 970 747's flying
with CWT plus approx. 3,000 other aircraft with similar CWTs.
