A documentary on the 1996 explosion that brought down TWA Flight 800 offers "solid proof that there was an external detonation," its co-producer said Wednesday.

"Of course, everyone knows about the eyewitness statements, but we also have corroborating information from the radar data, and the radar data shows a(n) asymmetric explosion coming out of that plane -- something that didn't happen in the official theory," Tom Stalcup told CNN's New Day.

All 230 people aboard TWA 800 died when the plane, headed for Paris, exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Scores of witnesses observed a streak of light and a fireball, giving early rise to suspicions that terrorists had struck the plane with a rocket.

Investigators concluded the streak was likely burning fuel streaming from the plane's wing tank.

The National Transportation Safety Board ruled that the explosion was caused by an electrical short circuit, most likely originating in a fuel gauge line, which found its way into the center wing fuel tank, where it detonated fuel vapors and caused the B-747 to fall in pieces into the waters off Long Island.

But some people have come forward, "all saying the same thing: that there was an external force -- not from the center wing tank, there's no evidence of that -- but there is evidence of an external explosion that brought down that plane," Stalcup said.

He cited "corroborating information from the radar data" and complained that "not one single eyewitness was allowed to testify -- that's unheard of."

"The family members need to know what happened to their loved ones," he said.

Asked why such information might have been suppressed, Stalcup said, "That's a question that should be answered when this investigation gets reopened."

Possibility of a review of new information

The NTSB acknowledged receipt Wednesday of the filmmakers' petition -- signed by former investigators -- requesting that the investigation be reopened.

"As required by NTSB regulation, a petition for reconsideration of Board findings or a probable cause determination must be based on the discovery of new evidence or on a showing that the Board's findings are erroneous," said board spokeswoman Kelly Nantel.

What really happened

"We assign petition responses to the relevant modal office for drafting. The NTSB's Office of Aviation Safety will assign staff, to the maximum extent practicable, who did not work on the original investigation to carefully prepare a response. The response will be presented to the full Board for their consideration and vote."

The board's investigation of TWA 800 lasted four years and "remains one of the NTSB's most extensive investigations," Nantel said.

Investigators "spent an enormous amount of time reviewing, documenting and analyzing facts and data and held a five-day public hearing to gather additional facts before determining the probable cause of the accident," she said.

But she left open the possibility the case will be reopened.

"While the NTSB rarely re-investigates issues that have already been examined, our investigations are never closed, and we can review any new information not previously considered by board," she said.

One TWA 800 family member reacted to the news of the documentary with skepticism.

"Some of the people involved in this group have been involved in Internet conspiracy theories for the last 15 years," said Joe Lychner, whose wife, Pam, and two daughters, Shannon, 10, and Katie, 8, died in the incident.

"So far as I can tell, this is just a rehash of what's been out on the Internet," he said.

"If they have no new information and this is just trumped-up stuff that's been out there forever, yes, it is hurtful," Lychner said. "Why go through this again. Conversely, if they do have new information and it's provable, it's a game changer. I will watch this thing with a very critical eye, knowing what I know."

John Goglia, a member of the five-person NTSB during the investigation, said he "took offense" at the filmmakers' suggestion that board members ignored evidence. "I would never be part of any coverup -- period," he told CNN.

"This accident, this report, over 50,000 pages, if you take and just look at certain pieces of it, you can move the cause of this accident any way you want. You can take just the radar; you can say it was a missile. You have to take all of the pieces and look at them as a whole.

"The sequencing report that told how the airplane fell apart, none of it supports a missile -- none of it. When you look at the physical evidence inside the tank, it's clear that there was an explosion inside the tank. If the top of the tank goes up and the bottom of the tank goes down, and the forward side goes forward and the back of the tank goes back, that tells you that the blast was inside the tank -- not outside."

He said that no holes were found in the tank that would indicate something had penetrated it.

But the documentary asserts that a missile may have exploded adjacent to the plane.

Critics challenge government investigation

Skeptics have long theorized that TWA Flight 800 was brought down by sinister forces.

They include Hank Hughes, who served as a senior accident investigator with the NTSB and helped reconstruct the aircraft. Others include Bob Young, a TWA investigator who participated in the investigation, and Jim Speer, an accident investigator for the Airline Pilots Association.

"These investigators were not allowed to speak to the public or refute any comments made by their superiors and/or NTSB and FBI officials about their work at the time of the official investigation," a news release announcing the documentary said.

"They waited until after retirement to reveal how the official conclusion by the (NTSB) was falsified and lay out their case."

James Kallstrom, who headed the FBI's investigation into the explosion, dismissed suggestions that investigators concealed information and were not receptive to clues.

"If they felt that way back then, they could have come to me," Kallstrom said. "I was someone desiring to get to the bottom of this, believe me. And I had a reputation for not, you know, for not pussyfooting around. Yet it seems like they've comfortably waited until they have their pensions before they became whistle-blowers. So I think it's a bunch of bullcrap."

The documentary, "TWA Flight 800," will premiere July 17, the 17th anniversary of the crash.

Stalcup is co-founder of the Flight 800 Independent Researchers Organization and has been a longtime and passionate critic of the official investigation.

Suspicions that criminals or terrorists were behind the TWA 800 explosion are not new. The FBI conducted a parallel investigation, but concluded that the incident was not a crime or terrorist attack.

The NTSB said Tuesday that it was aware of the pending release of the documentary, which will air on EPIX TV network, and of the producers' intent to file a petition to reopen the investigation.

The documentarians said they have a "trifecta of elements" that will "prove that the officially proposed fuel-air explosion did not cause the crash." That trifecta includes forensic evidence, firsthand sources and corroborating witnesses, and the new statements from retired investigators.

The evidence proves that "one or more ordnance explosions outside the aircraft caused the crash," the producers said. But it does not identify or speculate on the source of the ordnance explosions.

Less than a day after the BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone reporter died in a fiery car crash at age 33, conspiracy theorists are speculating that there is more than meets the eye over Hasting's demise.

News of reporter and writer Michael Hastings' death at the age of only 33 has shaken the journalism community across the nation, as well as fans of the writer's hard-hitting reporting.

And now, less than a day after the BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone reporter was killed in a fiery car crash, conspiracy theorists are speculating that there is more than meets the eye over Hasting's demise.

Twitter, Facebook, and sharing site Reddit were abuzz Wednesday, with some users commenting that it was suspicious that Hastings, who famously brought down U.S. Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal in a Rolling Stone cover story, died while in the middle of covering several hot-button topics like monitoring by the National Security Agency and the CIA.

Even the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, who broke the original NSA spying story, wrote on Twitter, "Michael Hastings' final article was on Democrats & the NSA stories." Greenwald linked to Hastings' final story published on BuzzFeed, which was titled "Why Democrats love to spy on Americans."

 As the International Business Times notes, "some of the details surrounding the story [of Hastings' death] read like a poorly-written political thriller."

For instance, Hastings' body has not officially been identified by the coroner's office because it had been so badly burned after it crashed on Hollywood's Highland Ave. at about 4:15am Tuesday.

A call placed to the Los Angeles Coroner's office Wednesday afternoon was not immediately returned.

Commenters to local news sites posted as many questions as they did possible answers. One user wrote on LA Weekly: "Makes you wonder if it was a real accident when you hear CIA?"

Another said, "Hastings' wreck might make sense on the freeway, but I doubt he'd be dumb enough to go 100 mph on Highland. He's not some dumb college kid."

A community board on Reddit has already begun delving into possible conspiracy theories, from opinions that the car was either rigged to lose control or burst into flames at a certain time to brake wires being frayed.

"A warning to other journalists to not dig too deep," one Reddit user wrote. "Stick with the party line if you want a long, happy life."

BuzzFeed's editor-in-chief, Ben Smith, eulogized Hastings as an intrepid reporter who "was really only interested in writing stories someone didn't want him to write — often his subjects."

Smith continued: "He knew that there are certain truths that nobody has an interest in speaking, ones that will make you both your subjects and their enemies uncomfortable. They're stories that don't get told because nobody in power has much of an interest in telling them."

Hastings had also recently written a piece of CIA operative Andrew Warren, who became paranoid that he was being followed, as well as the Rolling Stone piece published in March titled "Killer Drones," talking about the austere measures of Obama's drone policy.

As IBT notes, Hastings wrote in his book, "The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan," that he received a death threat from a former McChrystal staff member.

"We'll hunt you down and kill you if we don't like what you write," the staffer threatened, according to Hastings, who calmly responded: "Well, I get death threats like that about once a year, so no worries."

Hastings went on to say: "I wasn't disturbed by the claim. Whenever I'd been reporting around groups of dudes whose job it was to kill people, one of them would usually mention that they were going to kill me."

Many years ago I was introduced to the amazing videos of Ed Grimsley, who at the time was discussing the idea that UFOs were engaging in some level of extra-atmospheric combat.  At the time I dismissed the idea, thinking if a alien ship had come all this way that alien ship would posses enough destructive power to render our defensive apparatus null and void and simply blow anything we could throw at it out of the sky.

Now many years later, and especially given recent research into the Secret Space Program as well as the actual composition of battle platforms in space that maybe Grimsley was on to something.  He was on to something but I suspect it was not aliens duking it out with earthmen but instead a space war between a breakaway civilization and its earthly brethren.

There are a couple of alternatives here.  It could be the United States vs. the Russians in a battle royal but I suspect not because a hot war in space should translate into a VERY hot war down here on earth.  Instead I have come to believe that the battle is between a Nazi derived breakaway civilization and the combined governments of NATO and the Russian Federation possibly even China as well.  So why do I believe this?  I know it sounds fairly far fetched but to answer that we need to take a small course in “Star Wars” both from a US perspective as well as a Russian perspective.  We also need to balance that against Gary McKinnon’s findings and the Nazi UFO research which has been of the forefront in my mind the last few years.

SPACE WEAPONS:  Glittering C-Beams off the Taunhauser Gate

Since the 1950’s both groups have embarked on a long range and costly journey to build weapons systems in space.  On the surface these programs were put in place to destroy or prevent destruction.  Billions of dollars have been spent on both sides to do some very interesting research, some of which will shock you.

Project Thor – Project Thor or Thor’s Hammer is a space based defense system utilizing tungsten rods to create kinetic energy weapons.  On the surface of it Thor was designed to hit Soviet installations and military forces using a very lethal but non-nuclear system.  In reality as quick as Thor can be used to target the surface of the Earth it could also be rotated to fire these rods out into space at slow moving targets or with the proper trajectory it could be fired against larger bodies like the Moon or even Mars, theoretically.

Project SeeSaw – Project SeeSaw was initiated by the JASON group to build particle beam weapons.  The project started in the late 1960’s and later was publically abandoned though it did find some success.  It falling out of public view may have been to deflect its true purpose.  Once implemented as part of the larger SDI program SeeSaw would have give us not only aircraft mounted particle beams but also orbiting defense platforms.

Project Sipapu – Originally an Army project to build land based particle beam weapons. This is the kind of weapons system which could be deployed to next generation fighting units on both a handheld basis or via modifying tanks to carry the weapon system. Its objective was to build space based weapons systems.

The “Chair Heritage” Program – Little is known about Chair Heritage outside of it being a Navy project to build particle beam weapons for ships.

Brilliant Pebbles  - Brilliant pebbles was a stroke of genius.  The essential theory behind Brilliant Pebbles was to build a delivery system which could fire a canister of high velocity pellets at a target.  These pellets or pebbles traveling at a high rate of speed would effectively shred the target in a cloud of kinetic energy weapons.  It is the same principle as Thor but on a smaller scale.

Solar Warden 1 – The information about this Solar Warden comes to us from a whistle blower who called into an interview I was a part of on the Ground Zero radio show.  He stated that in the 1970s he had worked, as an engineer, on a highly secret (protected by Federal Marshals) program to build a constellation of three satellites.  The first two satellites would be parked in an equatorial orbit and use a particle beam to hit targets (possibly the logical outcome of SeeSaw) while the third satellite was an autonomous hunter killer satellite which would patrol the skies. The whistleblower went on to say that the system was deployed with the rest of the SDI system successfully in the 1980s.

Solar Warden 2 – This is the infamous program stumbled upon by hacker Gary McKinnon which described offworld ships, troops and crews which functioned as a space fleet.  He located manifests, logs and registers of the ships including some rather odd ship names.  McKinnon’s findings are controversial but I believe they past the sniff test for many reasons but one of which is the lengths the United States government went to in order to attempt to try him. They wanted him gone, and they worked hard at it.  The other reason I believe there may be some validity to the claims is around what he found.  Much of what he found appears to be logistical in nature and while secret probably carried a lower secrecy rating then say specifications of the ships.  It should all be highly highly classified but one would suspect that logistical data would be a little lower and probably was the cause of the breech.

MANNED BATTLE PLATFORMS:  Have Space Canon, uh I Mean Particle Canon, Will Travel

Ok so at this point we can see starting in the late 1950’s there was an aggressive line of research coming out of the military to build space based weapons.  At the same time the military, both Soviet and American, embarked on a manned battle platform strategy.

We’ll never know how successful the programs were, but conventionally we are told the plans were never completed or the carcass of the battle station was deorbited and burned up.  I can understand the logic of believing the conventional but I think in this case and given what we’ve seen over time I think there is a case which can be made that at some level these stations were built and are up there, or maybe they have been superceeded by automated defense systems.  We do need to remember that DARPA is almost 50 years ahead of us here in the conventional world.

So what did they come up with?

The Manned Observation Laboratory (The MOL) – United States Air Force project to build and later deploy a manned battle station equipped with a laser.  The two man crew, both Air Force astronauts, and yes the USAF does have its own astronaut corp.  were designated to spend three to six months onboard.  Armed with a laser canon, or possibly a particle cannon, their mission ostensively was  to be ready to attack then Soviet space based platforms or space planes (maybe even UFOs?).

The Almaz – The Almaz was the Soviet equivalent to the MOL.  It was indeed launched and crewed for sometime and was armed with a 23mm cannon.  The cannon was actually a massive engineering feet since the designers actually had to place rockets on the sides of the Almaz to counter act the force of the firing.  Cosmonauts who served on the Almaz report that it was quite an adventure to fire the canon and we know that it was indeed fired several times.

Personal conversations I’ve had with several people who worked on the Soviet space program indicate that there were possibly up to three Almaz stations in orbit and they were fully equipped to attack if ordered.  Were there MOL’s in orbit? Yes there was at least one, and the crew was carried up to it via a Gemini-B launch vehicle.

But what about SkyLab?  There are rumors that Skylab was armed as well but I have seen no concrete evidence of it, but that being said it stands to reason that it could have been.  It would make since especially considering the compositions of the crew, all military, and the proximity of the Skylab program and the ending of the MOL program.

Now the 2 billion dollar question, what is up there now?  We’ve heard over time from various researchers, including Bill Birnes who is definitely in the know, that there are stations in geosynchronous orbit over key sites.  Birnes has maintained for some time there is a station locked over Nellis AFB.  Which would make sense since there is a significant amount of research going on at Area 51 to this end and if the stations or to defend against an outside threat (i.e. Nazi’s) then it would make sense to park them in a stationary orbit over major defense facilities or population centers.  Given the technology today it also would not be beyond the pale to expect crew changes, a la Solar Warden, were being done via a next generation spacecraft.

The MOL and Almaz were very real projects with paper trails so we do indeed know both of these battle stations were placed in orbit so I think it is logical to assume others could have been built in orbit or on the Moon and ferried over. The will was there as was the funding.

MOON BASES: No Really! There is a Moon Base.

The 1960’s was a turbulent time, unpopular wars, social unrest and apparently a vigorous space weapons program so it should not surprise us that even while the MOL was being operated both the Army and Air Force had also come up with plans to occupy the Moon. The Soviets had a program to!

Project Horizon – A US Army project to build a Moon base by 1967.  The base would have offensive and defense capabilities as was to be staffed by a crew of over 200 specially trained Army soldier/astronauts by 1965.  Again as we have seen this project was publically killed off but that doesn’t mean it didn’t enter the special access projects realm where there is lots of money and no oversight.

Project Lunex – Project Lunex was the Air Force equivalent to Horizon and called for a crew of 21 to live on this underground defense station at a cost of a mere $7.5 billion.  The interesting part of this project is that it pre-dated the Apollo program and if operational may explain why the Moon Hoax theories swirl around even to this day.

 Project Zvezda – Zvezda was a Soviet project similar to Horizon and included, at least at some level, conversations between the Soviet space program and our own to jointly operate lunex1dand man the base.  Again I think its safe to assume, given the direction of weapons development, that this base too was almost certainly armed.

THE MOON HOAX: Was there a Hoax and if so why?

When we look at the Moon theory one thing has always jumped out at me.  I don’t believe we fully faked the Moon landing.  I know that will draw the eire of some but I think there is penty of evidence we landed including the ability to use a telescope and see the junk left behind by the Apollo missions.  Its true you can use a telescope and see the junk we left behind.  Obviously these projects did not include the basic law of camping which is to leave it better then you found it.

So why the falsification?

I think, given what we know about Horizon and Lunex it is not beyond the realm to believe that Armstrong and Aldrin may have indeed seen something they were not supposed to so steps were taken to coverup what they saw.

Think of how defeating it would have been to Armstong to jump off the LEM and pronounce “This is one small step man and one giant leap for mankind, oh what why are those guys standing on the ridge staring at us? This is the plausible scenario.

Apollo 11 was off course and missed its landing zone, so Armstrong had to manually land the LEM so they landed in an unprepared location.  So by landing in a unprepared location they, the astronauts, may have been exposed to technology or people they were unprepared for.  What followed was a tour de ‘force of covering up.  Fake photos, brainwashing, maybe even the involvement of Stanley Kubrick its all there for the asking.  In fact as evidence of the level of cover-up perpetrated on the Apollo 11 program there is an interesting story  Buzz Aldrin relayed while being interviewed on C-SPAN which I think does lend a level of credence to this line of research.

During the interview Aldrin was asked what it was like on the Moon, and he responded by talking about seeing the tiny blue dot of the earth and speaking about “Magnificent Desolation,” but he also said when he originally came back to Earth he was at a dinner party and someone had asked him the same question.  Aldrin said he didn’t know how to answer and started to panic, effectively having a panic attack, and headed off to the bathroom where he threw up.  This is a classic mind control block, and is placed over a memory to stop that memory from surfacing.  Instead the victim feels physically ill to deflect the topic.

Something was obviously up because shortly after the fanfare had died away Armstrong went into seclusion and only rarely granted interview.  Why would a national hero hide?  Because he is just a shy guy who doesn’t like the attention? Possibly but more then likely he knew that he had participated in something amazing, amazingly dangerous because he had seen things.

SUMMARY

Its obvious something is happening, I think we can only continue to overstate the obvious on that.  We have independent confirmation from sources that both NATO and the Russian Federation have a significant investment in exotic and space based weapons.

We are told that investment was for a missile shield, we are told that was for World War III but the truth is World War III never came.  There was no attack nor would there ever be because of the MAD principle (Mutually Assured Destruction).  War planners on both sides could see no end state where a limited nuclear exchange took place, to initiate that kind of armed conflict would only end with the destruction of the entire planet.

So why all the weapons and weapons programs?  Why is Ed Grimsley getting some amazing footage, consistently, of a battle in space?  I would argue that it is because those weapons are not to protect us from the Russians or vice versa.  Instead I would argue there is a war in space, right now and Grimsley has found a way to capture it.  But who is that war against?  I know it sounds like the plot of a recent film but I would say those platforms and weapons systems are design to keep people way and I think the best candidate for that break away group is some derivative of the Nazi regime.  A regime in hiding on the Moon or more likely Mars.

Need some proof?  In the 1990’s there was a slate of triangular UFO sightings across Europe and a few in the United States as well.  These UFOs tended to follow motor ways and hang out near military or telecommunications facilities.  They also were shoot beams of light into select grave yards.

Now I know what you are thinking, aliens would do that?  The obvious question is why?  Are they monitoring our nuclear reactors as space brothers sent from Venus who want to make sure we protect our environment?  Probably not, more likely they are Nazi ships watching our capabilities.  That makes sense and passes the sniff test.

valientthorI will also give you one final element to ponder.  Back in the 1950’s there was a man named Valiant Thor.  Valiant Thor claimed to have been from Venus, and maybe he was, but he was taken to the Pentagon and along with his two companions had some sort of briefing inside the Pentagon.

So who was he really?  If you look at Valiant Thor, he, like many aliens seen at that time, were called Nordics because they possess a Nordic look, they were tall had blond hair (sometimes brown)  blue eyes and were known to converse in a strange language which may  have indeed been German. We also need to look at his name Valiant Thor which represents the brave god of thunder (Thor) in Nordic legend. So its not surprising to me at least his name is derived from Nordic mythos if he is derived from a Nazi base.

Nordics?  Nazi super soldiers?  Possibly, I think that is more likely then people from Venus unless of course there is a base there. It is also interesting to point out that many abductees from that era have claimed the aliens (Nordics) spoke in a funny language which sounded like German and in some cases had German accents.

I thinkits also fair to point out that many of the UFO’s seen during the contatee era largely match the designs of tha Haunebu style or Vril style of Nazi UFO!

These facts with the space based weapons leads us to a conclusion that they, the SDI systems, might actually be defensive weapons against German based saucers and if what Grimsley is seeing is accurate (and I have personally witnessed it) then I think we need to start to understand who is fighting who for what objective and I think we need to take aliens out of the equation.  This is a fight for ideology and technology not an advanced guard from the alien mothership coming down to take over out planet.
