Re: Flight 800 Meteor report

Forget the stats - they're very misleading. Look at the evidence.

The investigators' reports suggest that the explosion occurred in the lower half 
of the aircraft. Unless the meteor plunged through the atmosphere and then 
suddenly changed its "mind" and decided to head back out into space, then there 
is no way the explosion could have been due to a meteor. Meteors do not head 
Earthwards and then head back skywards again!

Several people have floated the idea of a meteor impact but it just doesn't fit 
the evidence. It the explosion was due to a meteor then there would be 
conclusive evidence embedded in the upholstery of the aircraft and the soft 
tissue of the passengers (e.g. muscle, skin, etc). There may even be tell-tale 
fragments in the airframe. No such evidence has been found. This argument is a 
dead duck.
