We are working on them with an archivist at NARA.

Any chance of any hints? Or maybe suggestions?

Wings had footage of an F-14 firing six as I recall

@Dronescapes, are there any similar videos to this available that are to do with the Sidewinder and/or Sparrow missiles?

For example footage of the early YF-12 tests. I don't think those are online either, or the B-52/B-47 plant.
there are interesting WW2 videos filmed in Germany as well, such as wind tunnels at Volkenrode, or a Tu-144 video that, I think, is incomplete on the web (but I might be wrong about this). there are early X Planes videos that I have never seen before as well.

So nothing on the Sidewinder, Sparrow or AAM-N-10 Eagle?

Not so far, but we will look into that

I'll also be joining this effort soon, as I'm in the process of spinning up a big old dig at NARA on the Sidewinder and it's descendants.

Good luck, and good hunting!
