Dont think it is a cover up. God only knows why, but it would hardly be the most obvious thing to think. That a plane went off radar and reappeared 100s of miles away completely off course. The story has popped out now. Doesn't say much if anyone fancied running a few bombers into Malaysia does it. A 777 wanders across their airspace and the fact that it happened only comes out 3 or 4 days later.

watch a few videos on the new f-22 raptor and f-35 jsf

they are invisible to todays radar technology so they can basicallly fly through enemy radar ,attack whatever and disappear

again leaving no trace

its due to be the top dog in aerial combat for about the next 2 decades

What has that got to do with a Boeing passenger jet?

if you read his post he said it wouldnt be good if they were bomber planes since malaysia cant keep track of civiian airliners

i said " the latest modern fighter planes are undetectable anyway so they could bomb what they liked and disappear "

try and grasp the context.......

Well I would expect most radar to struggle with a stealth fighter, but a passenger airliner 10times the size should have got someone's attention on radar.

it did ,but the malay military were a bit late owning up to the fact that they tracked it 500 miles away from the previous search area

It's the lead story on CNN's website right now. But as with a lot of the info coming out of the Malaysian authorities lately, it seems the info being reported is not entirely clear and potentially accurate.

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/11/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

(CNN) -- It was 1:30 a.m. when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 lost all communications, including important transponder signals that send data on altitude, direction and speed. Still, it showed up on radar for about 1 hour, 10 minutes longer -- until it vanished, having apparently moved away from its intended destination, hundreds of miles off course.

Those details -- told to CNN by a senior Malaysian air force official, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media -- seemingly shed more light on what happened to the aircraft that mysteriously went missing early Saturday.

But if these assertions are true -- and other reports, citing a different Malaysian official, cast doubt on them -- many big questions remain. Why were the communications lost? Why was the Boeing 777 going the direction it was? And where did it end up?

The air force eventually and totally lost track of the plane over Pulau Perak, a tiny island in the Strait of Malacca -- many hundreds of miles from the usual flight path for aircraft traveling between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, the official said.

If the data cited by the source is correct, the aircraft was flying away from Beijing and on the opposite side of the Malay Peninsula from its scheduled route.

Here's why the latest reports of misdirection may themselves be another misdirection:

Air force chief General Rodzali Daud was quoted in a local pro-government newspaper as saying a military base had detected the Malaysia Airlines aircraft near an island in the Malacca Strait, far to the southwest of where it should have been headed.

The news injected even more mystery into the investigation of the Boeing 777 jetliner’s disappearance, with aviation experts theorising about how the plane could have strayed so far off track for so long.

But General Daud has since released a statement saying that while authorities have not ruled out the possibility the plane inexplicably changed course before losing contact, reports that it had been detected far from its planned flight path were incorrect.

I know no one seems to be able to find the missing jet. And those kinds of things can and do happen, albeit rarely.

But the Malaysian handling of the whole episode certainly seems to have been a mess from the get-go. A third-rate mishap investigation from a third-world country.

But then I think back years ago to the Thai Airways jet that blew up on the tarmac at Don Mueang, and how Thai officials claimed it was an attempted assassination of Thaksin. In the end, with help from outside investigators, it was determined to be a fuel tank/vapors explosion probably caused by crew/ground staff error.
