Comment: The mystery blips on primary radar return, circled in green from Paris Match radar tape. It suddenly appears, stays for twelve seconds and disappears. Destruction of TWA 800 follows.

There is a match between the primary radar images of Pan Am 103 and TWA 800 just before the total catastrophic destruction of both. Images attached as .jpg file. One image is the TWA 800 image showing primary radar blip picked up several times for many seconds behind the airliners. The other image is of Pan Am 103 drawing of the final radar plot in a sequence. The third image is a scan of text from the Pan Am 103 UK report about that greed diamond radar blip.

At the same time before destruction, a radar blip was picked up by two ground radars for one sweep and displayed on the drawing as a green diamond. The radar plots of 103 and 800 match on time and size of reflected primary radar energy on a target just behind those airliners which shortly came apart in the air.

It is not a missile.

The mystery blip may be the forward cargo door spinning away probably with fuselage skin attached, just like UAL 811 which tracked that radar blip to the ocean where the door was retrieved. The 800 blips are apparently too early to be the door coming off but could be related somehow. Air India was too far away for a primary radar image when it destructed in mid-air. The 800 mystery blips could be a radar anomaly of irrelevant ground clutter double reflecting.

The streak is the sun's reflected energy on the metal door and skin as it peels erratically away in the sunset and observed by viewers looking east up high.

The door has failed before. The effect of departing caused an explosive decompression which was recorded on the cockpit voice recorder as a sudden loud sound just before an abrupt power cut occurred when the nose separated from the rest of the body by the force of the 300 knot slipstream crumpling the nose into the hole caused crease.
