: Everyone should read "The Case of Witness 649"
: on Donaldson's home page (twa800.com). This
: witness watches the "smoke trail" rise up initially at a 90 degree angle (vertical - straight up). A shoulder fired stinger missile would not be fired at a 90 degree angle. Maybe 45 or 60 degrees but certainly not at a 90 degree angle. A missile fired from a Navy surface ship or submerged submarine CAN have an initial 90 degree angle of climb. It's time for Donaldson to investigate the U.S. Navy.
If the missile was launched directly away from
the viewer it would appear to be going straight up.
