(11,065 posts)Though they claimed to have seen this plane at 6:15 am, and sunrise was at 6:14 am that day they sky would generally still be relatively dark. It certainly wouldn't have been daylight once the sun was all the way up. In that kind of lighting red colors appear either purple or even blue. Seeing a single stripe of duel colors of red and blue in that lighting would have appeared as a single BLUE stripe. Just in looking at some of the photos of the 777 from Malaysia Airlines in certain angles and even brighter lighting that stripe or sections of it appear blue or purple. Saying they saw the plane so close and so clearly that they could see the outline of the doors on they plane yet the color scheme and pattern is described as "red stripes" and missing that giant "malaysia" logo above the duel single stripe is pretty ludicrous.
