Fishermen Plane Sighting a Tip or False Lead in MH370 Hunt?

Fishermen from this village believe they may have seen the missing Malaysia Airlines flight on the night it disappeared flying low over the Gulf of Thailand.

It's not clear whether what they saw was flight MH370 or whether it is the latest in a string of false leads in the search for the missing plane, but if true it would suggest that the plane may have flown low to avoid radar, what is known as "terrain masking."

On March 8 flight MH370 disappeared from radar as it flew north over the Gulf of Thailand towards Vietnam en route to Beijing. Investigators believe it made a sharp turn to the west about the time it vanished from radar and lost contact with air traffic controllers.

Clearly there’s been a press blackout on all the sightings placing the airplane over Paraguay.

Either them or the Indians shot it down. As good as any other theory.

but why would the plane intentionally fly in a different direction to begin with, this was all done BEFORE the Co-Pilot did his final sign off, so maybe it was the co-pilot

That I do not know. Most likely he was up to no good. But that wouldn't change the Malaysians shooting down a plane they could not identify since they probably didn't know yet that Flight 370 dropped off the radar and never contacted Ho Chi Minh Center like they were suppose to do. Just a theory I've had for a day or so and especially since Malaysia has forbidden anybody else flying nearby to search for the missing plane. Something to hide? Maybe it's all innocent but 239 lives are at stake here... unless the Malaysian government already knows everyone is dead.

If he landed it in Somalia, they would have just taken the plane, and there would be a lot of ransom demands...
