Australian Exploration Firm Claims It May Have Found Missing Jetliner

An Australian exploration company has claimed that it has found the debris of missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370, six weeks after it left Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Beijing.

 

Adelaide-based GeoResonance said on Monday that stated that it had begun its own search for the missing jet on March 10 and that it has detected possible wreckage in the Bay of Bengal, 5,000km away from the current search location in the southern Indian Ocean off Perth.

 

GeoResonance's search covered 2,000,000 square kilometres of the possible crash zone, using images obtained from satellites and aircraft, with company scientists focusing their efforts north of MH370's last known location, using over 20 technologies to analyse the data including a nuclear reactor.

 

According to company spokesperson David Pope, "The technology that we use was originally designed to find nuclear warheads, submarines. Our team in the Ukraine decided we should try and help."

 

Pope added GeoResonance had compared their findings with images taken on March 5, three days before MH370 was reported missing - and they did not find what they had detected at that spot.

 

"The wreckage wasn't there prior to the disappearance of MH370. We're not trying to say that it definitely is MH370, however it is a lead we feel should be followed up," said Pope.

 

Meanwhile, another GeoResonance spokesperson, Pavel Kursa added that several elements found in commercial airliners was detected at the Bay of Bengal spot.

 

"We identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777 … these are aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials," said Kursa in a statement reported by Australian news channel 7News.

 

MH370, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, left the KL International Airport at 12.41am on March 8 and disappeared from radar screens about an hour later, while over the South China Sea. It was to have arrived in Beijing at 6.30am on the same day.

 

A multinational search was mounted for the aircraft, first in the South China Sea and then, after it was learned that the plane had veered off course, along two corridors - the northern corridor stretching from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand and the southern corridor, from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.

 

Following an unprecedented type of analysis of satellite data, United Kingdom satellite telecommunications company Inmarsat and the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch concluded that Flight MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.

 

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak then announced on March 24 - 17 days after the disappearance of the aircraft - that Flight MH370 had "ended in the southern Indian ocean".

It's refuelling at Diego Garcia

The Australian coordination center, which is in charge of looking for the missing Malaysian airline has dismissed the GeoResonance report on a possible new location. Insisting they are only relying on satellite and other data, and as the GeoResonance report is not in the search area derived from this data they will not be following up this lead.

Meanwhile, another outfit is reporting that they looked at what Inmarsat has published, and they can't make the Inmarsat track estimates make sense.

 

This is getting dirtier and dirtier.

Any developments? The media I see have lost interest in this.

These guys obviously know a thing or two, they are have a 100% success rate in finding submarines in Ukraine!

Ca. 1995, while I was at Texas Instruments, I talked to a guy about an internal job opening.

 

It was a joint venture with a company in "Eastern Europe". They'd developed a new technology for a deep-search magnetometer useful for detecting submarines, and they wanted help turning it into a product. TI would have gotten the technology, for use for US military projects, and the "Eastern Europeans" would have gotten the productization.

 

I pinned the guy down, and he admitted that the company was in Russia.

 

I declined, politely, without giving a reason, and never heard anything more about it.

 

The device would have been MUCH more sensitive than anything either side had at the time.

 

It would not surprise me in the slightest to find out that this was the same company.

All these false alarms are starting to piss me off, I mean there are literally thousands of family members of the passengers looking for answers, and some kind of closure. Imagine the heartbreak every 3 days when another "sighting" is announced. They should just say nothing until they actually find the plane. For the families.
