Meteor Brought Down TWA Flight 800

I used the search function and didn't find a thread discussing this theory, however I think there should be.

On July 17, 1996 Trans World Airlines Flight 800, a Boeing 747-131, exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York. I'm sure most of you remember this crash and how many thought it was a missile. However, no eveidence was ever found suggesting a terrorist attack.

In my opinion a Meteor strike would explain everything as to why this plane crashed.

Looks like a Meteor to me.

Officials concluded that the two holes located above were made by "fragments" traveling along a downward trajectory at velocities between 1,000 and 1,500 feet per second. These two holes where located in the pressure deck of the rear landing-gear bay (B) as shown. Other small holes produced by downward- traveling fragments were found in recovered portions of the center wing tank (A) the sudden explosion of which reportedly destroyed Flight 800. Matching the speed of bullets such fragments may have ignited fuel vapors in the center tank.

After all these years I believe it is very possible for a Meteor to hit a plane, I'm surprised it has happen more often...or has it?? Could explain some other unexplained plane crashes..

Don't Discount a Meteor

Approximately 3,000 meteors a day with the requisite mass strike Earth. There are 50,000 commercial airline takeoffs a day worldwide. Adopting an average flight time of two hours, this translates to more than 3,500 planes in the air; these cover approximately two-billionths of Earth's surface.
Multiplying this by the number of meteors per day and the length of the era of modern air travel leads to a 1-in-10 chance that a commercial flight would have been knocked from the sky by meteoric impact.

Why can't they hit planes They hit cars.

And even People, why not a Plane?

Thought I would throw out this theory for thought.

Yep that certainly sounds to me like it blew the plane right out of the sky, and very likely to happen.

Twa 800 has always bugged me. I have never heard or Even Considered your theory. I don't know if its true but way to think out of the box. S&f

Computer desk? What? If it hit the computer desk, what about thye ceiling? uh, that would have been a nice picture to add..

I get your point, and it is somewhat valid... but do meteors swoop up after entering our atmosphere?

well it's possible I suppose
but highly improbable.

that's like 1 bullet colliding with
another bullet, the odds have
to be ... out there.

However, I haven't seen any evidence
of meteor burning or residue associated
with a space meteor. The hole photos
show a hole, however if it came from a
meteor the fragments would be on fire
and would burn the edges of the hole.
I see no evidence of that thus far.
Maybe I'm missing something.

If those are the actual holes in the TWA 800 shown in your post then no way was it a meteorite. The holes are far too regular but nicely match what a 20mm vulcan cannon would make.
A streak of light could also be the contrail of a jet catching sunlight reflected from the bottoms of clouds long after the sun has set.
We spent more money investigating this than we did 9/11 and we still don't know squat about either IMO.

The NTSB Animation shows a curved flight path, does God throw sliders too?
