-Caveat Lector- The NTSB's new witness streak-origin analysis: > National Transportation Safety Board - Public Exhibit 4B > > Page 23 > > Only 33 witnesses were judged to have reported observing the > origin of the streak of light (see Appendix A, item 12). Of > these, 18 indicated that it originated from the surface, 2 > reported that they saw it originate in the air, 7 said it > originated at the horizon, and 6 reported that it originated > behind an obstruction (see Appendix A, item 13). IAN: So, of the 33 eyewitnesses who reported an origin of the streak of light, 27 did not have a visual obstruction blocking their view of the streak's origin. Of the 27 with a clear view, 92% said the streak originated from a point that was below Flight 800 (on the surface or horizon). The math: 18 indicated from surface, 7 from horizon = 25 from surface or horizon (both locations below Flight 800). 2 said from air. Of those 27 witnesses with a clear view, 25 indicated the streak came from surface/horizon, since 25 is 92% of 27, 92% indicated it came from below Flight 800 (the 2 air origins may have also been below FL800). So, of 27 witnesses who observed an origin of the streak and had a clear view, 92% contradict the official story. The original version of NTSB Exhibit 4A stated this: "Of the 183 who observed a streak of light, 102 gave information about the origin of the streak. Six said the streak originated from the air, and 96 said that it originated from the surface. Of the 102 witnesses who gave information about the streak, * 05.88% said it originated from the air. * 94.11% said it originated from the surface." (end) The new streak-origin analysis in Exhibit 4B appears to attempt to obscure the high percentage of surface streak origins by using new definitions while re-reviewing the reports to reduce the number of witnesses in the origin group from 102 down to 33, and then by breaking streak origins from the surface into "surface" and "horizon." But once we put "surface" and "horizon" back together, as they should be, we once again find that over 90% of relevant witnesses saw the streak come from below FL800.
