PersonUnverified

Source of widely circulated alleged thermal/WAMI videos and platform identifications. Project rule: hypothesis generation, not authority. Plasma-orb claims are treated as unsubstantiated.

PersonConfirmed

Capt. John Cox

Accident investigator · former US Airways

June 2026: preponderance of the evidence is a deliberate act, high likelihood the captain. Reads FIR-boundary timing and the reverse course as too coordinated for a random failure.

PersonConfirmed

Capt. Patrick Blelly & Jean-Luc Marchand

Independent trajectory paper

End-of-flight reconstruction used by Mentour: flame-out, APU, cross-feed, possible glide. Argues the last BFO need not be a wreck on the 7th arc.
