Yes. It would be absolutely impossible for a military unit to accidentally shoot a missile and then have all personnel involved remain silent. You cannot legally make information classified to cover up a crime, so whistleblowers would be protected and everybody knows that.
But it's interesting that
multiple investigators including a retired NTSB staffers are involved in this. They might simply see an opportunity to cash in on their involvement, or there might be something to it...just maybe. I seriously doubt it but I'll see what they have to say.
But if it was malicious, it was terror or criminals.
