Interesting Richard. Do you have web links that take up the matter of terrain masking, passive SONAR, or likely remote airstrips within range of the flight? And what's your theory on the disappearance of this aircraft, and the souls aboard?

Hi Phydeaux,

Here are some links:

Missing Malaysia Plane Flew at 5,000 ft and Used 'Terrain Masking' to Avoid Radar Detection - By Dean Nelson, and Jonathan Pearlman, Kuala Lumpur/ World/ The Telegraph.co.uk

"For almost eight hours after plane was apparently hijacked it flew as low as 5,000ft to avoid commercial radars..."


Where Is That Plane?!?!? - from BabyCenter Community

Scroll down and read the post by SaltedButter - Haven't heard any other mention of the additional fuel. But can't be discounted.

U.S.Spends $2.5M on Plane Search; May Give Sonar Gear to Malaysia - From Thompson/Reuters/Friday, March 21, 2014

...The U.S. Navy has a variety of active and passive sonar systems, some of which search the ocean for objects by emitting sound "pings" and monitoring the echoes that bounce back and others that listen for sound like an undersea microphone.

One system, called a "Towed Pinger Locator", is towed behind ships and is used to listen for downed Navy and commercial aircraft at depths of up to 20,000 feet (6000 meters), according to the U.S. Navy's website.

The U.S. military loaned this technology to France during its two-year effort to locate the black box from an Air France jetliner that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009..."

Malaysia Airlines Fight 370: Runways in Range - from wnyc.org

Gan Airport (Maldives) is in that grouping. Wonder if authorities seriously checked out the sighting of the low flying aircraft. The military base at Diego Garcia is only about 580 miles from the Maldives - we certainly could quickly have some assets there to conduct a search.

And in the opposite direction, perhaps the latest Chinese satellite images will bear fruit.

Best regards,

Richard

A Routine Flight, Till Both Routine and Flight Vanish - by Philip P. Pan and Kirk Semple/ Asia Pacific/ Retracing a Lost Flight/ The New York Times.com

"The night sky was clear above the clouds, and the last glimmer of a setting half-moon had faded when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, cruising at 35,000 feet over the Gulf of Thailand, approached the border between Malaysian and Vietnamese airspace on its usual route to Beijing. What happened next should have been routine for a twice-daily milk run between two of Asia’s most important cities. Air traffic controllers outside Kuala Lumpur usually hand the jet off to their counterparts in Ho Chi Minh City as the flight turns northeast toward the Chinese capital.

But in those early hours of March 8, pilots flying nearby heard an unusual crescendo of chatter on the radio frequencies used by radar control in Vietnam and Malaysia. Air traffic personnel in both countries were trying and failing to reach the plane.

“Any stations in contact with Malaysian 370, please relay.”

Vietnamese and Malaysian controllers asked one aircraft after another to radio the jet. Pilots listened as one plane after another tried and heard only static..."

So now we have learned that the manually preprogrammed flight change scenario was only a theory. There was no evidence that this ever occurred. Figured as much.

A bit more info that was on NBC today, Robert Hager, longtime aviation reporter came in with a cockpit data recorder, and showed the 'pinger'. It's a little cylinder thing, a couple inches in diameter and maybe 8" long. It will continue to emit pings for up to another month. But is only detectable for 6- to 10 miles in optimum conditions. In an area where the sea floor could be 3 miles deep, the 'listener' would need to be within as little as 3 miles horizontally from it. The more time that passes, the further any (as yet unfound) floating debris field drifts in this storm tossed sea, away from the main body of wreckage.

Since we barely know more than which ocean this plane went down in (and that is not entirely agreed on), trying to drag a listening device within a few miles of an unlocated wreck in the next month is pretty iffy.

Bottom line, flight MH 370 may never be located. A few floating bits of it may wash up on distant shores, but that's it. It will be difficult for family members of people lost on this flight will have difficulty getting any sort of closure- an especially difficult thing for people of Chinese and other Asian ancestry.

IMO, I think it's very highly likely that they've got the plane now with the recent floating debris that they've spotted. Hope so.

That would at the least give a starting point from which to really begin a search, but a floating debris field, after all this time in those turbulent seas could be hundreds of miles from the actual crash site.

Just an aside on the time portal theory...
If they went into the past, it created a temporal anomaly of which our timeline is the result. OTOH, they may have gone into future. Either way, we may never know.

The area they are looking in is full of garbage from all kinds of events. They will be looking for garbage in a vast ocean garbage patch.

Oddly, Israel has closed all of its embassies.

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/850288.shtml#.Uy9HCqhdU4c

Since Israel is so small they don't have much time to deal with aircraft entering their airspace. Last time it happened in was in 1973 and the aircraft was shot down.

As this is about conspiracy.
1) the authorities know where it is, it was landed safely at a remote airstrip
2) The pax died when the air was shut down at 45,000 ft.
3) the Indian Ocean search is theater to make the current keepers of the Plane think 1 has not happened.
4) they are waiting to find the geniuses and King pin behind 1.

Might be a chemical imbalance. Something got past the tinfoil helmet.

I believe that shortly after the last communication, a severe mechanical event could have occurred that may have gone so far as to cripple flight instrumentation and the ability to communicate. In the dark of night, in the blind, with a malfunctioning plane. Do they continue on course or do they make a decision to immediately reverse course back toward land? They turn back, drop altitude in order to preserve fuel (and even to breathe if cabin depressurization was involved), in hopes that they will eventually be able to regain communication and control of the plane nearer to land. They cannot drop too low so as not to smack dead into a mountain, but low enough that when they have control and reorientation by the light of day,they will be able to rapidly descend and land safely. But ultimately that failed as they never fully regained control of the plane or orientation toward a safe landing strip.

If I'm not mistaken, even the experts have already concluded days ago there wasn't an aircraft emergency.

Ok, I admit I haven't read this entire thread. But, I did read the news earlier today that said the sequence of events has changed yet again. It appears that now there was no preplanned course correction in the navigation system on the plane, and that now the possibility of an aircraft emergency is greater than other theories. But, we still don't know much so anything is possible.

And as Ken alludes to, the so-called "facts" and "conclusions" over the last two weeks apparently have changed. No one knows anything, not even the experts, so I figure my theory is just as plausible as any of the experts at this point.

And for the same reason my time travel scenario is still in play.

Too me its odd that a country such as Israel, that depends on diplomacy for its existence, would allow all diplomatic work to be put on hold starting tomorrow. How does a rich and responsible nation act ? Not like this, imo.

Israel has said that they feel the lost 777 is viable and could be used against them. Other intelligence gathering networks have suggested the same. I guess if some one does use the plane then at the very least every one would know whats up with the plane.

Israel has also said they would take out Iran's nuclear facilities at some point and have promised to protect their country from outside threats such as Hezbollah bases in Syria.Without any help. In the last few weeks its been raining rockets in Israel.

Something odd imo is going on with the lost plane, maybe the NSA was too busy watching the wrong stuff this time....:ignore:

Ok my wife says that dropping altitude burns more fuel than higher altitude. So I need to tweak that part of my theory. They dropped altitude out of necessity. Fuel preservation was not one of their concerns.

From what I've read, one of the reasons to get to a lower altitude is in the event of loss of pressurization, and is a safety action. I'm sure the pilots who are on tug can speak to this issue. Sorry if this has been covered already in the last few hundred posts...
