CHINESE PILOT SPEAKS OUT -

Looking at the video account of the surviving Chinese pilot's report brings a question to mind -

"How did the EP-3 manage to do that maneuver without lowering a wing?"

The damage to the trailing edge attests to the impact pattern - from the stern. That asumes that the EP-3 doesn't have the ability to go into reverse thrust in flight.

For my money, the Chinese have embarassed themselves, badly.

Maybe they took lessons from TWA-800.

1. The reddish traces of PETN (U.S. solid rocket motor fuel) are indicative of a bomb dog test conducted while the aircraft was headed to Honolulu.

2. The entry hole in the right front & exit hole on the left side are coincidence.

3. The supposed ignition source couldn't happen, as the fuel sensor temperature-compensating circuitry would burn out first. Only one of the fuel probes, out of eight, received the voltage.

4. Nearly two hundred witnesses to the missile must have been mistaken, having observed the CIA generated illusion.

5. Etc.
