Guest Post: Why Did MH370 Log Back on with Inmarsat?


*Long Post*

@matty, Spencer, ChrisButler, JS:

“the one that got away.”

Or, if it didn’t get away, perhaps one that was thwarted in the process.

“it doesn’t look right.”

Consider the following — by no means a comprehensive list of ‘happenings’, but in totality, it does suggest that something is amiss.

1. May/13 – The US transport (we now know it was a “Wolfhound”) that supposedly ran out of fuel over Banda Aceh and was forced to land. But plug Male (Maldives) to Singapore into a great circle mapper and you’ll see that the most expedient route is a right across Indonesia, far south of Banda Aceh. So what were the SpecOps on that Wolfhound looking for, flying way out of their way, over the tip of Sumatra?

2. Mar/7/14 – Kate Tee, on a yacht sailing from Cochin (India) to Phuket (Thailand), sees a “bright orange glow”, heading towards her boat (moving from North to South). Further: “what looked like black smoke behind the orange glow, which resembled a contrail, but black…. I couldn’t see any fire or flames, or anything like that, it was just a plane glowing orange and surrounded by an orange glow like a halo. As though it were being lit up by sodium lights, but I couldn’t see sodium lights. As it came a little closer, I could clearly see the hull was glowing orange….As it moved behind us, I could see the shape very clearly, and it was that of a passenger plane. When I awoke, there was an orange glow (like a dome) over the horizon, in the approximate direction I felt the plane had flown. My first thought was “Shit, it has crashed after all”, but the orange glow was not flickering in any way. It was very similar to the white glow we had seen two and three nights previously. I noted it over several observations, and the intensity remained constant.”

3. Mar/8/14 – a (still UNCONFIRMED) China Times report of an SOS call. Rough translation: “the U.S. Embassy said the 2:43 U.S. military bases stationed in Thailand U-Tapao SOS signal was listening to some of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 emergency call, said the aircraft cabin facing disintegration driver call, they want a forced landing”

4. Mar/12/14 – Mike McKay, working on oil rig Songa Mercur off the coast of the Vietnamese town of Vung Tau, sends an email to Vietnamese officials: “I believe I saw the Malaysian Airlines plane come down. The timing is right.”

NOTE: 2/19/15 NZHerald – Mike McKay comes out of the woodwork and “today insisted he thinks the official search for the Malaysian jet is happening in the wrong place.

“‘I’ve thought about it and thought about it, over and over and while I cannot say for certain that the burning object in the sky was definitely MH370, the timing fits in with when the Malaysian plane lost contact. I have been trying to disprove that what I saw was the aeroplane ever since.’ And so far he has failed to disprove it.”

5. April/14 – FlyingwithFish (a well-known aviation/travel tweep who also appears to have a very good inside connection at DHS (Dept of Homeland Security) tweets:

“Does #China’s MSS currently have #MH370? A DoD briefing would indicate the US Gov’t think they got to it first.”

6. Apr/14 – ‘Metao’, who appears to be an insider, on Reddit:

“A transient is an temporal anomaly. A boom is what you think. So, this wasn’t well publicised, but the translation is: a very loud broadband noise like an explosion (or heavy object striking the water at high speed) was detected on two different data recorders, one belonging to CMST off Rottnest Island, and one belonging to the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty people near Cape Leeuwin, I think? at around the same time of the half handshake. Using speed of sound estimates it was possible to guess where the noise came from, and it was near the arc calculated by inmarsat.. Ocean Shield went there with the TPL – towed pinger locator – and viola.

Apparently hoops were jumped through to access Diego Garcia’s data, but they’ve been doing seismic measurements, so the data is a mess and unusable.

As I said some of this i know firsthand and some is second. As far as I know the second hand information is legit, but has not been well publicised (but as far as I know it’s no secret). A journalist should call CMST, do a little leg work, and write an article. You know, do some journalism instead of regurgitating press releases and interviewing professional press consultants (aka people that didn’t cut it doing real work).”

7. May/19/14 – ABC/4 CORNERS documentary airs.

As Spencer notes: “somehow MH370 was identified as being friendly in REAL TIME. Who identified MH370 as being friendly, if not the military?”

And not only that. I posted here, more than once, that Hishammuddin Hussein, using verbal and non-verbal cues, clearly seemed to be suggesting that MH370 was shot down. From the interview:

ABC “Why shoot it down if it’s not hostile?”
Hishamhuddin: “Well the Americans would”

WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT?

8. June/14 – ‘Petrossian50′ – a tweep whose real identity is unknown, whose comments, while often cryptic, also appear to be prescient at times, tweets:

“I want to enjoy, expose and embarrass my treacherous, deadly former employers. MH370 went wrong!”

And

“MH370 again, where is the immigration official that let the 2 flagged passports through? Again, ISI knows more.”

ISI is PAKISTAN intelligence. If Petrossian is telling the truth, why would Pakistan ‘know’ about the two flagged passports on MH370?

Also recall: Lt. Gen. McInerney claimed to have a source confirming not only that MH370 “is in Pakistan” but that the “sources have BOEING info”. McInerney hasn’t retracted his(repeated) Pakistan claim, but he hasn’t offered additional information confirming it either.

9. July/14 – MH17 is shot down over Ukraine. On board is the step-grandmother of Malaysia’s PM Rajib Nazak and Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

10. Sep/5/14 – NATURE: Indian Ocean acoustic signals discovered by Curtin researchers not crash of MH370. But this ‘finding’ doesn’t seem definitive and note the location of the “new estimate” (read: origin of the sound) http://t.co/TqHqQY1rxv Also note that US Geological Survey said the seismic event was ‘geological’, but UST (China) said ‘plane crash’.

11. Late Sept and early Oct/14 – WSJ, Reuters and then Newsweek report on the attack (by AQ, and current and ex-Pakistani naval officers) on the PNS Zulfiqar – a PAKISTANI warship.

“The plan was to hijack PNS Zulfiqar to launch an attack on a U.S AIRCRAFT CARRIER (CAPS mine). ‘They had taken over control of the ship and were proceeding to attack the American vessel when they were intercepted by the Pakistan Armed Forces.'”

Matty, your response when I posted that story here: “that Pakistan story is amazing – in that it wasn’t a major story?”

PING. Why wasn’t this a major, massively reported story? An AQ plot to attack an US aircraft carrier that was thwarted (by Pakistan) and it didn’t get wall-to-wall coverage?

12. Dec/14 – QZ8501, a flight of the Indonesian affiliate of AirAsia (which is based in Malaysia), crashes en route from Surabaya, Indonesia to Singapore. TWO WEEKS BEFORE 8501 CRASHES, a Chinese blogger (‘OP’/’Landlord’) warns of an AirAsia disaster in a Chinese online forum (which then appeared in rough translation on Reddit):

“the people that brought down MH370 is going to target another Malaysian airline… and it all has something to do with the US… Black hand has hijacked and shot down MH370 and MH17. This has pretty much killed the 6th largest airline: Malaysian airline. Now the black hand are targeting AirAsia to ruin this airline cause it too belong to Malaysia. Given how powerful the black hand are I suggest that all Chinese thinking about traveling to avoid AirAisa, so that you don’t disappear like those on MH370… Don’t be a victim go hid. avoid Malaysian airline and AirAsia and life is precious, and your safety is important.”

How did ‘Landlord’ know two weeks before the fact that disaster would befall an AirAsia airplane?

13. Jan/27+28/15 – ‘John’, who clams to be a NoK and airline pilot tweets:

“yes the pilots #MH370 were informed US navy exercises that night”

When I pressed John to clarify whether he meant in the GoT or Malacca Straits, he told me (via DM) that the NOTAM to MH370 concerned exercises in the Malacca Straits.

NOTE: There were military exercises in the Malacca Strait (‘Exercise Malapura’), between Malaysia and Singapore, that took place between Feb 25 and Mar 6, 2014.

Now, do planes taking off from KLIA bound for points north and east, first fly out over the (southern) Malacca Strait, turn around and then proceed north? If they don’t (and if John’s info is correct), why would Malaysia (KLIA operations or ATC) have given MH370 a notice about military exercises in the Malacca Strait?

The obvious implication is that someone KNEW that MH370 was going to turn around, cross back (west) over peninsular Malaysia, and head toward the Malacca strait.

Other than one tweet on Feb/16, ‘John’ has gone silent.

14. Feb/17/15 MalayMailOnline (h/t Lucy Barnes):

Court suggests MH370 passenger’s children settle out of court

Regarding the plaintiff’s filing:

“The two brothers claim that the Immigration Department had failed to conduct thorough checks on the MH370 passengers which enabled a NUMBER OF PASSENGERS to board the flight using false identification documents.”

A “number of” doesn’t sound like two. It sounds like MORE THAN two. But according to reports, the only two pax on board MH370 who allegedly had false passports were the two Iranians who were emigrating to Europe — and who reportedly were later cleared by INTERPOL. Is it possible that there were OTHERS on MH370 with fake travel documents that we are not being told about, despite reports that everyone on board was ‘cleared’?

Moreover, why, at this early stage, when the discovery phase would very likely not be completed, is the High Court in Malaysia trying to get the plaintiffs suing Malaysia and MAS to settle, especially given that settlements often entail confidentiality agreements? In other words, what evidence is Malaysia trying to prevent from coming out during trial?

And, was the fact that two Iranians were on board MH370 used as a red-herring?

15. June/9/14 – Petrossian50 tweets:

“Again coming back to earlier ‘obvious’ findings: the two Iranians triggered (not committed) the actions. Malaysia knows but is gagged”
