The Malaysian Transport Ministry has issued little but disinformation since March 8th, so it isn't a matter of them losing sight of reality, it's more a matter of them throwing a smoke screen over...

You must have left part of your post out. That saying doesn't have any meaning in the present context that I can see.

The Official Investigation team doesn't release information in GE format.

IMO anyone who thinks 9M-MRO overflew Indonesia is so focused on their mathematics that they've lost sight of reality.

The Indonesians have stated that they didn't see it pass "over their territory." I have no reason to question that statement.

It wasn't descending at that stage of the flight, but I believe it was headed SSW.

The substitution of the 18:29 ring doesn't fit with the other rings.

The premise of the plane being southbound at 18:39 won't work unless it overflew Indonesian territory, which I consider extremely unlikely.

@James
They didn't say that - read it again - what they said was that they didn't track such a target over their territory.

12nm north of Pulau We Island fits that description just fine.

Where is there? If it's 19:41, there is no need for flying in circles. That time works out with no problem, the location is near 2°38'57.58"N 94°42'33.49"E.

The fact that the transponder was turned off just before 1:21:13 and no ACARS message was generated to report that fact seems to tell us that ACARS was shut down not long after the 1:07:48 report.

@Shadoko
Thanks for the link.

The map also shows speeds in the low 300kt range.
Isn't maximum range speed higher than this for a 772?
Why would it be flying so slow?
