Whether this "cloaking device" phenomenon is the one or not, electronic countermeasure thingy (if it does exist, I mean) sounds quite interesting.

Just seen on BBC breakfast that an object (which they think is wreckage), up to 25 meters long has been pictured in the ocean from satellite images and the Chinese have sent planes over to investigate. The object is just on the outside of the current search area and could have drifted even further.

I read that they have confirmed there's nothing there, and the had already searched this area.

Also the datalink to RR in Derby has apparently received data which shows the engines still running 4 hours after the disappearance. Everything released in the media at the moment could be true or false, chinese whispers, made up professionals etc.

Something strange is going on and I recon more is known than we're being told, but unless the plane is discovered intact and the people onboard recovered dead or alive, we'll never know if we've been told the full story.

The reality is it has crashed, but wreckage hasn't been found.

Nothing seems to happen these days without a conspiracy theory.

Not saying you're wrong, but why hasn't a wreckage been found, if the radar signal was lost due to catastrophic failure (explosion, some kind of electrical issue that also seen the backups fail) then we know exactly where the incident happened, where the wreckage would be, and at least some debris would be floating, black box tracker beacon would be detected...

If you assume it crashed elsewhere, why would radar have been lost so early on, are you suggesting 2 seperate and extremely rare incidents occured at 2 different times on the same flight? Big coincidence, of course a lot of the crap people have said, inc media is obviously going to be untrue, we need someone with tangible proof to put this to rest.

Regarding the engines. I watched a similar report on breakfast tv this morning, it was pointed out though that if the plane was flying for another four hours it would be very unlikely that it would avoid some form of radar detection.

Not being able to locate a crashed aircraft isn't a one off, if does happen.

The likelyhood is they are looking in the wrong place. They don't seem to be very well organised out there. It took 5 days to locate the wreckage from the Air France A330 in 2009.

The reality is that the technology isn't as good as we assume it to be.

It did not take 5 days to locate it t 5 days to get to it, just over 24hrs to locate wreckage.

Oh, fair enough. Again, depends what you read on the internet... so many conflicting stories (although you are definately correct with what you say)

Somebody has disabled communications from the aircraft though

Surely this much is true?

Or something, complete power failure, fire, bomb, etc. how far it then travelled and in what direction depends on what caused the initial problem.

The plot has thickened as it appears the plane was deliberately flown towards the Andaman Islands.

Wouldn't the "something" have interrupted the engines/nav working though?

I've got autohelm on my boat, but once you unclip the power,you're on your own

Apparently the planes signals were sent hours after it went missing.

Too suspicious me thinks

A student from Stanford University has touted a theory about what happened to the missing Malaysian Airlines plane, suggesting a slow decompression may have caused passengers and pilot to suffocate without even knowing.
Andrew Aude, a computer science student, who "considered studying Aerospace engineering", theorised there was a likely fuselage failure near the antenna adapter, disabling all or some of the plane's GPS and other satellite and radar communication systems.
"Thus," Aude explains on his Tumblr post, "only primary radars would detect the plane. Primary radar range is usually less than 100nm [nautical mile], and is generally ineffective at high altitudes."

Malaysian PM has announced the planes comms were deliberately disabled and everything points to a hijacking.

The PM said last contact was at 08:11 local via an automated system, which considering it took off around 01:30 its gone a long, long way.

If it flew over India / Pakistan then it would defo show on radar.

What worries me is that the aircraft has a max range of around 9000 miles or around 17 hours, so if they managed to get some extra fuel in the range of the aircraft could be well into Iran or it could have even flown west for a few hours, then turned back and gone to somewhere like N Korea. It could even have been flown towards Europe and shot down for all we know.

I also wonder if it was carrying some high value cargo, cash or gold maybe?

All we know for sure is that at 00:41 it took off, at around 01:30 most systems that communicate with the outside world were turned off, one at a time and as of 08:11hrs on Saturday morning it was still flying.

It could have flown for a further 8 hours or so - if they had enough fuel. They have yet to say how much fuel was actually taken on at KL.

It's taken over a week for them to admit it's been possibly hi-jacked and seeing as there is no claims of responsibility or demands for ransom you have to wonder if they have achieved their goals yet.

Surely after 7 days he would have reached his desired destination though!

I was dubious when it was revealed that 2 Iranians were travelling on stolen passports.

And it probably flew in that direction...

But its strange, if it was them why take a plane from the far east full of people from China.
