Maldives residents saw 'low-flying jumbo jet' on March 8: report

[TorchTheWitch]

38. first, the Malaysia Airlines 777 doesn't have red stripes

It has a single stripe of red and blue, a roundish emblem on the tail that is half red and half blue, and the word "Malaysia" in blue above the duel colored stripe.

Sunrise in the Maldives on March 8 was 6:14 am just at the time this plane was reportedly seen. At that time the sun would just have been peaking over the horizon, and the sky would still have been relatively dark or at least so dark that the color red would have appeared to be mistaken as blue or perhaps purple.

Given how dark the sky would have been at that time, the fact that there is only one duel colored stripe across the plane that due to the rather dark conditions at the time would have likely appeared entirely blue whatever low flying plane was seen was not a Malaysian Airlines 777.

Couple this with the distance the plane supposedly traveled and its fuel munching low altitude for most of that time there's just no way that it could have been this plane as it couldn't have gotten that far and beyond since these people don't also report that it fell from the sky and crashed.

Further, if they claim they could see it so clearly that they could discern the outline of the doors they certainly could have seen it clearly enough to discern there was only one duel colored stripe that in the dark sky of dawn would have not even appeared to be red but blue. Also, had they been able to see it so closely as to be able to discern the outline of the doors they couldn't possibly have missed that giant blue word "Malaysia" above the single stripe.

I don't doubt they saw some sort of aircraft flying low over them at some time in the morning, but it could not have been this plane given their own description of it and how clearly they claimed to have seen it.
