MH370: My Prophetic Dream

I had an odd dream in the early hours of March 8, 2014 (alongside the event). It was not an overstatement to think of it as a prophetic dream. The dream began when I saw an open black sky. Then I saw the meteor shower. The next thing I knew, I saw a white van hovering in the sky. Suddenly I had a vision of a cabriolet and without any warning, it was struck very quickly on the right side. It made a somersault to the left and spontaneously I had a glance at the meat in a twisted metal. Finally, my vision shifted to a front with an H-shaped image. Taking the index of the above dream, I would like to share my anecdote about what happened with MH370 on March 8, 2014: -

1. It did not begin with a mechanical mistake, a hijacking, or a suicidal act. Simply put, the plane was just in the wrong place, but at the right moment and in the right conditions. This was nothing more than a natural tragedy.

2. The aircraft was probably struck by a meteorite in a flash that ignited the cockpit. Such a sudden concussion was somewhat surprising and could have knocked the pilot off his feet for some time. With the control wheel suddenly pulled aft, the aircraft started climbing steadily to 47,000 feet.

3. This was followed by a quick decompression in the cockpit. The reinforced cockpit door could have temporarily precluded decompression in the cabin with the passengers. In the meantime, the pilot(s) could have been seriously injured and made a determined effort to save the aircraft by entering autopilot mode.

4. In a matter of seconds, an explosive decompression occurred in the cabin because of the great variation in air pressure at high altitude with a thundering noise, i.e. when the aircraft climbed to 47,000 feet. At the same time, the fire in the cockpit was immediately put out (imaging for opening a bottle of champagne).

5. Thick fog immediately engulfed the interior of the cabin because the relative humidity of the cabin air changed as the air cooled and condensed. All crews and passengers were likely to have blacked out or died as a result of the explosive decompression in the cabin. A scene of total silence filled both the cabin and the cockpit.

6. On autopilot, the aircraft continued to cruise below 30,000 feet and taxied through the Indian Ocean. The pilot performed a highly professional job during a severe emergency by placing the aircraft in the least populated area, such as the vast Indian Ocean. This was a reasonable response based on the low probability of landing after losing communication with the ground control tower.

7. The aircraft automatically adjusted to the pre-defined settings and continued to navigate at a much lower altitude, i.e. near the aircraft's landing altitude; thereby avoiding all forms of radar detection in neighbouring countries. The aircraft travelled through the Andaman Islands and up to the Maldives Islands at the southern tip before turning back around as shown on the Google map.

8. The aircraft ran out of fuel in the Indian Ocean (coordinates: -7.321795, 97.778432), near the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. It was likely to slide through the ocean with very little debris on the surface of the water and could well remain afloat for some time. It continued to transmit the electronic ping signal before finally sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

9. In a nutshell, there was no fault of any kind. It was simply a natural tragedy - the aircraft was in the wrong place at the right time and under the right conditions.

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight: Oil rig worker Mike McKay loses job after MH370 'fire in the sky' report

BySteve Lillebuen
June 9, 2014 — 6.39am

Reports from an oil rig worker who saw a fire in the sky on the night Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared are being taken seriously, police sources have confirmed.

But New Zealander Mike McKay, 55, has lost his job in the ‘‘circus’’ that developed after his report to authorities was leaked.

Mr McKay had been working on the Songa Mercur oil rig in the South China Sea when he saw an ‘‘orange light’’ on an especially clear night.

The object was still in one piece and close to where MH370 first dropped off radar between Malaysia and Vietnam on March 8 with 239 people on board.

He emailed his employer and Vietnamese authorities about his sighting, but his statement was leaked, which included his full name, email, passport number, and full details of the company operating the rig.

In the ensuing media storm, Mr McKay said the Japanese-based petroleum company, Idemitsu, was flooded with emails and he was taken off the rig.

He is now unemployed and disappointed his efforts at reporting potentially vital information turned into such a circus.

‘‘I was only trying to privately help,’’ he told Fairfax Media during a series of interviews.

‘‘If it was the aeroplane I saw, then it must have been an external fire. How far would an aeroplane stay in the air after such a fire?’’

Mr McKay has worked in oil and gas exploration for more than 30 years, mostly in Southeast Asia, but returned to his native New Zealand while waiting for more work.

His initial statement described what he believed to be an aircraft on fire at a high altitude. The fire burned itself out in about 10 to 15 seconds and he gave an exact location based on his position on the oil rig platform.

‘‘There was no lateral movement, so it was either coming toward our location, stationary (falling) or going away from our location,’’ he wrote.

His sighting, however, appeared to be quickly discounted as one of the many hoaxes and false leads which have hampered the three-month international search effort.

Mr McKay’s reluctance to go public, and his complete lack of an internet presence, also raised doubts about the credibility of the report, which began on social media and gained traction largely through MH370 conspiracy theory websites.

But Fairfax Media tracked down the oil industry worker and confirmed with two police sources that he is being treated as a truthful and credible witness.

He was interviewed at length about his sighting at a police station near Auckland and his statement has since been forwarded to Malaysian authorities.

‘‘What he’s told you is effectively what he’s told us,’’ said a senior investigator involved in the case.

Mr McKay’s witness statement comes after a British sailor also reported seeing a burning object in the sky.

Katherine Tee, 41, was sailing from India to Thailand in early March when she spotted a plane surrounded by bright orange lights with a tail of black smoke.

The two sightings, however, are hundreds of kilometres apart.

Investigators have also moved on from searching the South China Sea and still believe MH370 went down somewhere in the Southern Indian Ocean.

While several underwater acoustic signals or ‘‘pings’’ have been ruled out as coming from the aircraft’s black boxes, satellite data still places it somewhere on a long arc in the large, southern search area.

Mr McKay said he hopes the plane is found in the Indian Ocean but he can’t explain how his sighting may fit in with what is known so far.

‘‘There are unanswered questions every step of the way,’’ he said.

#MH370* Maldives police probe reports of MH370 sighting
By The Editor / TheEdge
19 Mar 2014, 06:54 am

NEW DELHI (Mar 19): Police in the Maldives are probing reports that islanders in the tourism paradise saw a "low-flying jumbo jet" on the day the missing Malaysia Airlines plane vanished.

In a statement released late Tuesday, police said they were investigating a report on the Haveeru news website that local residents had spotted a large plane flying over the remote southern island of Kuda Huvadhoo on March 8.

"The police are looking into the reports in the media saying that a low-flying airplane was sighted above Kuda Huvadhoo," the statement said.

Several alleged sightings of the Boeing 777, which vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board, have proved to be false alarms and reports of debris at sea have also turned up nothing.

Haveeru said witnesses on Kuda Huvadhoo had seen a white aircraft with red stripes flying towards the southern tip of the Maldives.

"I've never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We've seen seaplanes, but I'm sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly," the website quoted one witness as saying.

Haveeru journalist Farah Ahmed said several witnesses had given similar accounts.

"These people first heard a very loud noise from a plane flying unusually low and they came out to see it," Ahmed told AFP by phone from the Maldives capital Male, whose international airport daily handles dozens of wide-body jets bringing in thousands of tourists.

The hunt for the missing passenger jet now focuses on two vast search areas -- a northern one spanning south and central Asia, and a southern corridor stretching deep into the southern Indian Ocean towards Australia.

The Maldives, located far from both arcs, is not among the 26 countries currently involved in the massive international search operation.

Where is MH370?

Simulations by oceanographers from Kiel provide further insights into the possible location of the crash

1 September .2015 / Kiel. For the past 16 months extensive search has been underway for the missing Boeing 777 of Malaysia Airlines (MH370) in the Indian Ocean. After a piece of debris was discovered a few weeks ago on the island of La Réunion, Kiel oceanographers have attempted to trace the origin of the flaperon that presumably belongs to the missing Boeing. The results of their recently completed computer model simulations show that the debris found on La Réunion probably originates from the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean. However, uncertainties in further restricting the area are still very large.

Flight MH370 that disappeared from radar screens on 8 March 2014 seemed to have been ripped off the face of the Earth. Not even a small piece of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was discovered despite an intensive search in the eastern Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia. The discovery at the end of July 2015 of a part belonging to an aircraft’s wing brought renewed hope. The flaperon was found several thousand kilometres away from the suspected crash site on the island La Réunion. Meanwhile, it is almost certain that this part belongs to MH370. Will the flaperon be the key to localize the crash site of the demised aircraft? Immediately after the discovery, oceanographers from Kiel started to track back the possible drift of the flaperon within a computer model to narrow down the area of the crash. The results show that the crash site could be found further north than previously thought; but also how difficult it will be to localize the aircraft, even with this new piece of information,

Dr. Jonathan Durgadoo and Prof. Dr. Arne Biastoch from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel used a state-of-the-art ocean model in combination with observational data. This provides a coherent realistic dataset for their drift analyses to determine the possible origin of the flaperon. To do so, they release virtual particles around La Réunion and compute their trajectories back in time. "Of course it does not make much sense just to track only a few particles within the model," Dr. Durgadoo explains. "We have traced back almost two million 'virtual' particles over a period of 16 months," Durgadoo continues. "For each month back, we subsequently calculated the probable region of the particles positions."

From this exercise, a very large region in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean emerged as the most likely area where the flaperon could originate. It extends from the western coasts of Sumatra and Java, about 6,000 kilometers from La Réunion. "Qualitatively, the results correspond to my initial estimates, they are now confirmed by the complex flow analysis", says Professor Biastoch. In addition, all particles originate from a region equatorward of 30oS. "Our findings therefore show that the ongoing search southwest of Australia might be too far south" Dr. Durgadoo comments. However, he admits that on the basis of only a single piece of debris, a more precise delimitation of the area is currently not possible. "Finding more pieces of MH370 debris would be necessary in order to make more precise statements," Professor Biastoch summarizes. In the coming weeks, in order to further refine their statements, the researchers want to consider other processes, such as wind and waves, which are possibly also relevant to further refine the analysis.
