Re: Mh370 sighting... not!

“Barnacles could hold key to mystery of missing Malaysian Airlines plane MH370"

MH370’s final moments have been brought into sharp focus, with the discovery of a new piece of debris [1], giving major clues to the final tragic moments of the Boeing 777, that was lost in 2014, with all 239 aboard.

The piece was discovered in a fisherman’s backyard, and was found washed ashore, on the Antsiraka Peninsula South Beach, in Madagascar, in March 2017, after tropical storm Fernando had passed by.

The debris item had barnacles on it, when it was found, and in total four items of MH370 debris have been found on the same beach. The location was predicted by the University of Western Australia (UWA) oceanographic model.

Since the crash, 33 pieces of floating debris have been found.

According to a report [1], by Richard Godfrey and Blaine Gibson, the piece “is likely the remnant of the left main landing gear trunnion door” ,and is almost certain to be from MH370.

The significance of the find of the landing trunnion gear door is the damage to BOTH sides of the door, which indicates that the landing gear was highly likely to be extended, on impact.

According to the Godfrey-Gibson report “the level of damage with fractures on all sides and the extreme force of the penetration right through the debris item lead to the conclusion that the end of the flight was in a high-speed dive designed to ensure the aircraft broke up into as many pieces as possible. The crash of MH370 was anything but a soft landing on the ocean.”

Expert analysis has shown that the flaps were not extended, as would be the case for sea ditching.[2]

"The realistic possibility that the landing gear was lowered shows both an active pilot and an attempt to ensure the plane sank as fast as possible after impact,” the report said.

Godfrey-Gibson adds that “the recovered 370 floating debris speaks to how the plane crashed, and the oceanographic drift analysis speaks to where. Neither can tell us who was flying the aircraft or why.”

Hi Gord, there’s a bit more to know about Blaine Gibson and his association with MH370 and I can assure he’s worthy of a bit of your excellent research.

Re: Mh370 sighting... not!

I thought this might appeal to our more cynically-minded, conspiracy theorist, members.
I, also, thought that the thread might [now] be closed, like the other one on MH370.

This is not Blaine Gibson’s first attempt, to delve into some of the world's most bizarre conspiracy theories. He has previously:
- investigated the Tunguska meteor, in Siberia.
- investigated the collapse [930 AD] of the Maya civilisation, in Guatemala and Belize.
- Searched for the Ark of the Covenant, in Ethiopia.
Gibson says he has been “trolled, attacked and slandered” by an “online army of armchair assassins”, who have accused him of having reported planted debris, even planting it himself. IDK.

A new theory on the disappearance




(It is an UFO channel, I am not into UFOs but this showed up in my thread when watching one of the MH370 documentaries on YT)

The guy made a reference to the CF post below and claims he made a contact with SaucySailoress who is the original author.

Re: Mh370 sighting... not!

We may never know what happened to MH 370 but of this I’m sure, a passenger jet flew over Langkawi the night MH 370 deviated from its course. I was in Langkawi at the time and the airport there is unusual in that it only uses one direction for landing and takeoff even though the single 4klm long single strip is marked 03/21 ..... there are two big mountains on the 21 end a couple of miles away, plus, a takeoff in that direction enters Thai airspace very quickly , the border is between Langkawl and Koh Tarutao. Malays are a late night people, after late night prayer they sit around often till 4am drinking coffee and eating and a hell of a lot of people saw a jet airliner pass over the gap between the wrong end of the runway and the mountain peak where the cable car runs....... this was such an unheard of event that people were discussing it the next morning, no passenger jet had ever been seen in this area before and even with the airshows (LIMA) only highly manoeverable fighter jets and small flying school aircraft were ever seen in this area and never ever in Thai airspace. Buggered if I know what happened to MH 370 but sure as hell someone does, no way can a military base like Diego Garcia miss an excursion of a passenger jet like MH 370.
I hope the thread doesn’t get terminated because it does have a vague relevance to cruising and oceanography just for the sonar scans of the southern ocean and the suggestion that a cruising yacht saw what might have been the now missing aircraft......oh , lithium batteries and halon too. I’m not buying “parallel dimensions” though, definitely a bridge too far for me.

A wheels down flight termination would put the ghost flight theory to rest.
