Military Stinger Test looks a lot like what the Eyewitnesses Described 

Stinger enroute--------->Stinger Impact Explosion---------->Fuel Fireball
Stinger in flight appears as streak, at impact as a white flash.   Burning fuel is orange.
Many eyewitnesses described "streak of light", leaving a "white smoke trail", which terminated in a "bright white flash", that subsequently evolved into two "yellow/orange smoke trails" or fireballs.
