Finally, while an IR shoulder held missile would home for the engine, a laser guided missile like the Swedish RBS-70 would perform just as the witnesses describe the "skyrocket" performing.
I have an open mind on the issue.
There is a difference between an open mind and the inability to discern truth from fiction, or likelihood from speculation. The NTSB was spoon fed nothing. They found every piece of that airplane and reconstructed it in a hangar. They spent over a year testing every hypothesis, doing detailed material analysis, reconstructing events. Where is the spoon feeding in that?
I encourage you to read the entire report that I linked. The whole thing. Then, tell me where, in that analysis of facts and material evidence, "spoon feeding" happened.
