Can you -- or ANYONE -- give a citation for this assertion that ANYONE,
whether a reporter or not, saw a 'big white flash in the sky at the time
of the crash'...
I've seen this assertion in various emails for a couple of days now, but
no one ever gives the name of the reporter, what news outlet reported
this, WHEN they reported, etc.
I find it very suspicious...first, that a reporter would conveniently be
in the area to witness this, and yet no one else in the area seems to
have noticed it....
One would think that the Martha's Vineyard air control personnel would
have taken notice of a bright flash, especially when Kennedy's plane
didn't land....
No, the ONLY account of a witness that was reported on in the first
hours, reported live on MSNBC between 10:30 and 11am EDT on Saturday
morning, and also recounted in the New York Times, is of a man who was
out fishing that night, who reported seeing the lights on the plane,
which appeared to be flying at about 40 feet above the water; if his
account is accurate, it would seem that Kennedy, if he DID nosedive as
later reports spun the version of what possibly happened, he seems to
have recovered, albeit at an abnormally low altitude. According to the
witness, the plane was circling and approaching the Martha's Vineyard
airport from a direction which the witness claimed was common for pilots
who missed their first approach to the landing strip...
MSNBC went on to state that this witness then said that both the lights
and the sounds of the engine (which to the witness said did not sound in
trouble) 'disappeared without a sound'....no explosion, no blinding
flash, not even the sound of a splash into the water...it was just there
one second, and not there the next...
Whatever THAT might imply, the fact remains that his account remains the
earliest reported account -- reported in at least TWO media outlets -- of
someone who WAS in a position to be an eyewitness...and his version is
the exact opposite of a 'blinding flash in the sky'....
So I'd like some confirmation of where this 'blinding flash' version of
events came from, what media outlets have reported it, and more
revealing, WHO the reporter is who 'just happened' to be in the area, and
who the reporter works for.

A kid with a laserlight keychain, fooling around?
If Kennedy was blinded by either of the things you mention above, why
didn't he radio the airport that he was having trouble? Or his wife or
sister-in-law?
When the supposed evidence is CRITICALLY analyzed, we really don't have
PROOF that they even made it to Martha's Vineyard...what we DO have is
the airport, claiming almost 12 hours after the search for the plane
commenced, to have been in contact with him shortly before he was due to
land. If this is true, why did they let the searchers roam far and wide
during the first 12 hours of the search -- as you remember, Saturday
morning and well into Satruday afternoon, we were being told that
searchers HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO SEARCH....
But then suddenly the Martha's Vineyard airport 'remembers' they talked
to Kennedy when he was only a few miles out from the island...why then
didn't they alert the authorities to that 'fact' early on?
You may also remember that most of Saturday we were told Kennedy's plane
was of the type where it wouldn't record on radar, and hence there were
no records of where exactly it travelled on it's way to Cape Cod...this
was also mentioned as a reason searchers didn't know where exactly to
look for the plane....
And yet suddenly we were told not only WAS the plane recorded on the MV
airport's radar, but 2 others, allowing a 'triangulation' that not only
pinpointed the plane -- actually, what can be said with any validity is
that the radar recorded A plane, PRESUMED to be Kennedy's -- but it's
supposed rate of descent....
(remember, the eyewitness report which is the earliest substantiated
report, does NOT mention the plane in a nosedive, but flying parallel
with the ocean, albeit only 40 feet up...)
So the FACT remains that for at least the first 12 hours of the search on
Sunday, searchers were diverted AWAY from Martha's Vineyard...
Which leaves us with only two options: either the Martha's Vineyard
airport is lying when it says it talked to Kennedy shortly before he told
them he was going to land there; or they deliberately withheld that
information for 12 hours from the search and rescue parties. Either
option is 'troubling', to say the least.
And now, conveniently, the bodies have been buried at sea, preempting any
researchers/investigators from possibly exhuming the bodies at a later
date for further investigation...
> The bodies are cremated --
WHOSE bodies? This is the first I've heard of cremation...I heard that
they were buried at sea, I didn't hear that they were cremated...if they
were cremated, there would be no reason to 'bury them at sea', altho the
families may have wished to have a ceremony of scattering the ashes at
sea. No, it's my understanding that the bodies were NOT cremated, and
that 3 coffins were dumped overboard...
Perhaps with bodies in them, perhaps not...at this point, we can only
take the version we are being spoon fed...which, based on the
discrepancies of what is being claimed regarding Kennedy talking to the
MV airport before landing, must be taken with a grain of salt....
The PUBLIC has not seen the wreckage, nor have we seen the bodies...we
have only been TOLD that they were found...

And yet the airport then did NOT issue an alert that Kennedy's plane was
missing when he failed to land...one would have thought the airport would
have alerted authorities by shortly after 10pm that a plane that was due
to land was now missing...especially if a supposed 'blinding flash' was
seen in the area....
At the very least, you would think the airport would have let authorities
know that they talked to Kennedy when he was only 10 miles from the
coast, instead of letting them search all of Long Island Sound, and the
Atlantic south of Long Island westwards back to New Jersey, in an attempt
to find evidence of where he went down....if the airport had let them
know early on, they could have concentrated their search efforts around
Martha's Vineyard instead of wasting their time and efforts elsewhere...
So why didn't the airport SAY anything about their talking to Kennedy
until sometime Saturday afternoon?

No name for the reporter is given...wonder why not?
And one would wonder why HE didn't come forward on Saturday morning to
report what he saw -- some 'reporter' -- indeed, why he didn't 'report'
what he saw at the time he saw it...since such a 'big white flash in the
sky' would presumably indicate a plane in trouble....
It took a good day or two for this version to see the light, so I still
don't trust it...seems to me any 'reporter' would have been bending over
backwards to get on all the news shows on Saturday morning to tell about
the 'big white flsh in the sky' he saw the night before...
But doing so again would have pinpointed the Vineyard as where the plane
supposedly went down...and the facts of the matter seem to point to the
desire of 'someone' to DIVERT the search from the Vineyard, at least in
the first hours....
