The plot thickens
This is going to be a most interesting story as it unfolds.
An aircraft is missing.
Earlier in the flight another aircraft reported a near miss with the aircraft that is now missing.
Much later, the aircraft that reported the near miss re-states the situation as "we might have hit".
The aircraft that they "might have hit" continued to fly (nordo) until (presumed) fuel exhaustion.
Curiouser and curiouser...
