I don't think your link is so much a theory, as it is a logical explanation for how a plane can travel without being detected. It makes sense.

---

I don't buy it. In order to be close enough to be in another planes radar shadow the other plane would be very aware of it. The airbus has it's own radar for collision detection.

Any one seen the movie "Millennium"? There ya go.

Plane was hijacked and deliberately flown very low to terrorist state like North Korea, Myanmar, or Pakistan, all located within the search radius. Passengers were killed or taken hostage. The plane was loaded with a long ago missing nuclear device from Russia. Plane eventually takes off from host terrorist country and flown to Japan or South Korea to be detonated in air above large US base.

WWIII

Was talking to a pilot tonight at my neighborhood meeting and he thinks it was flown somewhere and hidden to be used later.

With no real debris field, I'm beginning to believe this.

Being in the shadow doesn't necessarily mean at the same flight level, so you can eliminate a lot of wake turbulence issues there. It's just a matter of staying at the same speed as the cruising aircraft you're shadowing. A small difference in speed at Mach .82 (or whatever) could put you in front of the guy you're shadowing in fairly short order, opening you up to being identified and reported.

With all transponders turned off, a primary radar feed would still see two TGTs especially if your aircraft was flying lower than the aircraft you were trying to shadow. Running starboard or port to your shadow would also create an echo.

Now, here's the real zinger. ATC would probably ignore this TGT as an anomaly, or they might even be ignoring primary returns. I.e. They are turned off.

A military search radar would see this, but even a seasoned observer might write it off.

The recording would show two inconsistent primary targets.

If this is recognized within the Flight path of the Singapore Air flight, you've got a real Huckleberry.

I would tend to agree with this based on what has been shown to see some real knowledge as to how to disguise a plane from radar over fairly unfriendly airspace.

Debris field? I don't know, dive a 777 into the ocean at a decent speed and it wouldn't come apart. Let the currents get it, and the search area is crazy big. The only thing a debris field would indicate is bombing because it would have broken up high in the air and created a large debris field which has, for all intents and purposes, has been eliminated.

The higher the thing blew up (if it did at all) the larger the debris field. If the debris field was large due to a bombing/in air explosion, I feel like they would have found something by now since there's a lot of random individual shite (galleys, life vests, baggage containers) that would likely float and be easily seen by search and rescue.

I also saw a report that the CIA said they had every available intelligence asset on this.

Anybody that's freaked out raise your hand

fricker's going to wind up flying in to something. The only thing that doesn't make me think that was the initial goal of the hijacking was the plane's proximity to Kuala Lampur during the hijacking.

Most likely, they know what's up

I don't think they know where it is.

Maybe it's time to move to South America
