"It has been rumoured that an Alitalia flight operated by Australian pilots operated in near proximity to TWA 800. If anyone is able to confirm or deny this rumour, please email."
The aircraft is identified on the Boston Air Traffic Control communication tape as Eastwind Airline Flight 507.
This information was transmitted to TWA 800 at 20:28:13. "TWA 800 you have traffic at one o'clock and ah seven miles south bound a thousand feet above you (14,000') he's a Beech 1900.
Two minutes and two seconds later at 20:30:15 the center issues the following clearance, "TWA 800 climb and maintain one five thousand"!
