Sam Donaldson makes New Year's prediction.=A0 Sam stated, "Well, great. And=
 I'm
going to make=A0 a prediction. I'm going to step out here and say that I=
 think
there's going to be contact. Right, the great array in New Mexico is going=
 to
find that sound that we all saw in the movie, and we are going to hear from
some aliens, whether it's Vega or not, in outer space, and it's not going to
be the Spice Girls. Well, thanks a lot. You've been great.... Bye." This is
what he said to close "Nightline" for the a new year. Thanks to

TWA FLIGHT 800
WASHINGTON Gannett News Service - Admiral Thomas Moorer, the former Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said yesterday that it's possible a missile
brought down TWA Flight 800 and called for new congressional=A0 hearings.=A0=
 The
Boeing 747 disintegrated July 17, 1996, and plunged into the=A0 Atlantic=
 Ocean
near Long Island, N.Y., killing 230.=A0 Moorer and other retired Navy brass,=
 at
a press conference,=A0 expressed grave suspicion over the FBI's recently
concluded=A0 18-month investigation of the disaster. They said a missile
explosion just outside the 747's forward cabin seems the likely=A0 cause.=A0=
 "All
evidence would point to a missile," said Moorer, who is an=A0 expert on=
 missile
weaponry. "All those witnesses who saw a streak=A0 that hit the airplane --=
 you
have to assume it's a missile. In=A0 an investigation like this, you can't
overlook anything."=A0 Joseph Valiquette, FBI spokesman in New York, said=
 the
agency is=A0 "comfortable" with its conclusions that "there's no evidence a
criminal act was responsible."=A0=20
The Navy officers said a new study of evidence from Flight 800's=A0 data
recorders rebuts the government's official story about fuel=A0 vapors=
 exploding
in a central tank of the jetliner.=A0=A0 "This is either a train wreck in=
 the sky,
or an explosive device=A0 -- mid-air, outside the plane," said retired Navy
Cmdr. William=A0 Donaldson, a former plane crash investigator.=A0 Donaldson
examined the mountain of material released in early=A0 December about the
federal investigation. He particularly=A0 criticized one National=
 Transportation
Safety Board document=A0 reflecting flight recorder data that was not=
 discussed
when the=A0 material was unveiled in Baltimore.=A0=A0 Donaldson noted a line=
 drawn
through readings of the last five=A0 seconds of the doomed jet's flight,=
 with a
handwritten margin=A0 note reading "End of Flight 800 DATA" -- except there=
 are
more=A0 revealing readings below it. He thinks this was an attempt to=A0=
 divert
attention from the final readings on the flight recorder.=20
The final readings show chaos in the sky -- with airspeed=A0 dropping=
 instantly
by almost 200 knots, the pitch angle jumping=A0 five degrees, altitude=
 dropping
3,600 feet in about three=A0 seconds, the roll angle going from zero to 144
degrees (the plane=A0 almost inverted), and magnetic heading changing from=
 82
degrees=A0 to 163 degrees.=A0 Donaldson said all these indicate an extremely=
 high-
pressure wave=A0 coming from the lower left side of the plane's front. The
measurements "indicate there was an explosion -- a big explosion=A0 --=
 outside
the cockpit."=A0 Editor's Note: There also appear to be other terrorist=
 attempts
to destroy aircraft with missiles that have not been examined carefully.
