HypothesisInconsistent
Northern corridor
Inconsistent with BFO sign and with African debris
Early public maps showed a northern Inmarsat ring. BFO and later debris on western Indian Ocean coasts disfavour it.
Kept as a ruled-down alternative so search users can see why it died. A 777 flaperon does not drift from Central Asia to Réunion.
