But one can look at possibilities and eliminate others. But this report seems to not be verified. All cite the same single report from one guy.

So we don't even yet know what reports are factual. But if they have indeed moved the search in part to off the west coast of Malaya, that could be considered a form of verification.

This is a messy affair. And people are jumping to confusions. There's even conspiracy theories going full strength. I wonder what the alien guy is saying.

I'll call him up and see what he says...

Yup! Just as I thought.

29,500 feet is not low altitude. That is potentially cruising altitude. Gravitycollapse Mar 2014 #10
