similar to the debris field of twa 800. in that case there was a flash in the air at explosion. twa 800 was a mechanical failure, center wing tag exploding and the center of the plane went one way and the rest of the plane went the other and it did pitch up before it finally crash, something that they believe happened here. >> colonel, again, back to the satellite imagery here, one of the things this will tell next to immediately is if there was a flash from the desert floor itself. the question is could have have been some kind of surface-to-air missile? a lot of people say it's unlikely because it's unlikely anyone in the sinai peninsula has such a device that can hit something at 31,000 feet. >> yeah. there's a difference in the signature of surface-to-surface missile which would give a might brighter signature and easily detectible by this system. a surface-to-air missile doesn't give off that train of a flash. i would be hesitant to say they could detect the launch of a surface-to-air missile unless it was a very large system but they certainly could detect the flash. now, if they are able to detect
