Indonesia: Lhokseumawe and Sabang did not paint MH370

14–19 March 2014 statements

Indonesian Air Force/Defence: no detection of MH370 crossing Indonesian airspace. Lhokseumawe cited ~240 nm capability. Formal denial of concealment.

Ashton Hall — plasma-orb negative finding

Project file · December 2025

Author-level reading of Franklin Mead / AFRL propulsion literature. It does not support metre-scale manufactured plasma orbs.

Franklin B. Mead Jr.

AFRL propulsion · Mead corpus does not support manufactured plasma orbs

Beamed-energy / aneutronic-fusion / laser-thermal propulsion. Dense-plasma-focus plasmoids in his papers are centimetre-scale, device-bound and transient. The 2004 Teleportation Physics Study (Davis; Mead as project manager) is theoretical. No pathway to metre-scale autonomous atmospheric orbs.

A China IP is not a finding that Beijing ran the 9 March hack

Routing fact · operator unknown

CSM said exfiltrated mail went to an IP address in China. Headlines called it a Chinese hack. The agency did not publish a named operator. Compromised machines, third-party infrastructure and a false flag remain live. Not established, not ruled out.

Home-simulator coordinates are not an official finding of planning

Files exist. Commentators map a southern route. The 2018 report did not convert that into premeditation.

Manufactured plasma orbs in alleged footage

Not adopted. Drive backup records a negative scientific finding.

Ashton Forbes has claimed laboratory-scale manufactured plasma spheres. The Ashton Hall backup concludes Mead/AFRL propulsion literature does not support metre-scale autonomous plasma orbs.

Jeff Wise

Aviation journalist · Finding MH370

CNN-era MH370 analyst. Author of the 2015 northern-hijack / spoofed-BFO thesis. Host of Finding MH370. Treats the default pilot-suicide search as a failed prediction because the wreck is still unfound.

Interstate politics — China, Russia, Iran

Manifest geography is not a state-act finding

Destination Beijing, Chinese majority, Iranian stolen-passport travellers, one Russian national. Facts of who was on board. Not a finding of PLA, FSB, or IRGC action.

No 406 MHz ELT detection

Emergency locator transmitter never heard

No satellite or ground station reported a 406 MHz distress burst from 9M-MRO. Compatible with a high-energy impact, a powered-off ELT, or a failure to trigger.

No group claimed MH370

Twelve years on, no organisation has issued a credible claim of responsibility. Absence of a claim is not proof of innocence; it is a fact that sits next to the stolen passports.

JORN not tasked the night of 7–8 March 2014

Australian over-the-horizon radar · peacetime status

Wikipedia and Australian statements: Jindalee Operational Radar Network was not operational / not tasked that night. Absence of a JORN track is not a northern-path proof.

The Remarkable Blaine Gibson

Jeff Wise · Finding MH370 S1E21 · 18 November 2024 · 52:58

Wise’s case against treating Gibson’s beach finds as ordinary luck: “No Step” in 20 minutes on a Mozambique sandbar; a Madagascar piece appearing between two passes of a TV crew; village objects later identified as 777 interior.

Asset denial of the Freescale team

Quiet Exodus thesis · not adopted as a finding

Hypothesis: the United States removed twenty Freescale employees from China’s reach, using a clandestine compact-fusion platform, because they were the programme’s irreplaceable integration unit. Headcount is confirmed. The programme-link, the intercept, and the 18:22 structural kill are not.

Hugo Teso, 2013 — FMS proof-of-concept

Hack in the Box · research demonstration, not a 9M-MRO finding

Confirmed as a public research talk: Teso showed that flight-management logic could be reached and manipulated in a lab/simulation setting. FAA disputed operational risk. No record in this file places that path on 9M-MRO.

Landing MH370

Jeff Wise · Finding MH370 S1E27 · 28 November 2024 · 45:12

The northern-landing telling: discard or spoof BFO, keep BTO, fly borders, land at a long Central Asian runway (Wise’s 2015 candidate was Yubileyniy / Baikonur). Requires the African debris field to be explained away.

Lockheed Martin Compact Fusion Reactor

Public Skunk Works programme · Thomas McGuire · not an MH370 finding

Confirmed as a public Lockheed Skunk Works fusion project, discussed openly around 2014, with patents including US9947420 (magnetic-field plasma confinement; filing family 2 April 2014). Quiet Exodus treats it as the power core of a clandestine spacetime platform. That leap is the thesis, not the patent.

Terrorism

Hijack or bomb — not adopted as a finding

Stolen passports and a residual third-party clause keep the hypothesis in the file. No claim of responsibility, no identified bomb, no identified hijack crew.

The Debris Swarm

Jeff Wise · Finding MH370 S1E19 · 15 November 2024 · 39:26

After six months with only the Réunion flaperon, a cluster of western-Indian-Ocean pieces appears in 2016. CSIRO reverse-drift and barnacle work are the scientific spine; the swarm’s timing is the puzzle Wise keeps open.

What was actually taken on 9 March — and did it include radar?

CSM said minutes of crisis meetings and classified documents, some related to MH370. The working chart asks whether radar information or discussions of the turn-back were in that set. No public loot list answers it. A negative would also be a finding.

Ashton Forbes

Independent researcher · alleged thermal and wide-area video

Source of widely circulated alleged thermal/WAMI videos and platform identifications. Those identifications are hypotheses, not findings. Plasma-orb claims are treated as unsubstantiated. A third-party extract of 824 of his videos is a claim list, not proof. Edward C. Lin FOIA does not name MH370.

Diego Garcia

British Indian Ocean Territory · collection-geography question

US/UK atoll. CTBTO HA08 North hydrophones went dark in March 2014 after a deep-ocean cable break. UCT-2 was on the island that month on near-shore HDAS cables. Neither fact is a finding that MH370 was collected or hidden here.

Capt. John Cox: preponderance is a deliberate act, high likelihood the captain

June 2026 interview. FIR-boundary dropout, reverse course, ocean leg — too many coincidences for a random failure, in his reading. Not a court finding and not the 2018 report’s wording.

Freescale as a causal thread

Twenty employees confirmed; assignment unreconstructed

Presence is a fact. A defence, inertial, or communications assignment that would matter to MH370 is an open question, not a finding.

HASC Report 113-102 — Gorgon Stare to recapitalise Blue Devil

House Armed Services Committee · 7 June 2013 · USD(I)/USAF report due 14 Feb 2014

Primary Congressional source: Gorgon Stare is the USAF’s only operational persistent day/night WAMI capability and the logical programme to recapitalise Blue Devil technologies, capabilities and lessons learned. Directed evolution into WAMI + near-vertical direction-finding SIGINT, leveraging Blue Devil PED. Report due 14 February 2014 — 22 days before MH370.

Jeff Wise: northern hijack to Kazakhstan, BFO spoofed

2015 New York Magazine thesis, restated in Netflix episode 2 and in Finding MH370 “Landing MH370.” Keep BTO, discard or spoof BFO, fly borders, land on a long Central Asian runway. Requires the African debris field to be explained away.

L-3 Greenville awarded Blue Devil 2 integration / test

FA8620-06-G-4003 / order 1157 · $12.054m · 17 Aug 2011

L-3 Communications Integrated Systems, Greenville, Texas, paid for BD2 airship integration and test support. Later Q4 FY2012 storage was also at a 645 AESG-managed Greenville facility. Geographic coincidence is not a custody finding.

MAGIC/Orion continued in USAF development after 2014

Confirmed by PB2020. Congressional adds through FY2018. The ‘faded after 2014’ formulation is a correction, not a secrecy finding.

MH370 Research Master Log

Investigation chronology · 18–20 September 2026

Running chronology of findings: cargo, 2011–2013 ISR programmes, radar disclosure on the westbound track, MAGIC budget exhibits, and the alleged-video file.

MH370: The Plane That Disappeared

Netflix · three episodes · March 2023

Louise Malkinson’s three-part series gives one episode to each of three tellings: the pilot, a Russian hijack (Jeff Wise), and a US intercept (Florence de Changy). Families and Malaysia Airlines crisis staff are interviewed. It is a survey of hypotheses, not a finding.

Project Quiet Exodus — Part 1

SecretMilitaryTechnology.com thesis · asset denial of the Freescale team

A long-form thesis that MH370 was a US operation to stop twenty Freescale employees reaching China, protecting a compact-fusion / spacetime platform. Public facts inside it (headcount, Carlyle, Lockheed CFR patents, HA08 outage, UCT-2 at Diego Garcia) are filed separately. The operation itself is not established.

RMAF notifies KL ARCC of the western military track

22:30 MYT 8 March 2014 · ~12 hours after the minister

SAR chronology: civilian rescue centre informed of the possible turn-back / western last-known at 22:30 Malaysian time. Ministerial awareness ~10:30. The gap is a documented information-latency issue, not by itself a finding of a cover-up.

The 00:19 log-on is probable fuel exhaustion

Official finding: aircraft-initiated log-on most likely a power restore after dual flame-out and APU/bus bring-up.

Third-party intervention cannot be excluded

Quoted residual from the 2018 report. Not a finding that it happened.

Two stolen European passports

Italian and Austrian documents · two Iranian travellers

Yes — two Iranian men were on board. They travelled on stolen European passports (Italian and Austrian), not Iranian documents. The official investigation treated them as likely asylum seekers and did not adopt a terrorism finding.

Two waves of MH370-themed cyberattacks

9 March official-network intrusion · March–April public malware lures

Working chart of two separate campaigns. Attack one: 9 March spear-phish of officials at the Department of Civil Aviation, National Security Council and Malaysia Airlines — CyberSecurity Malaysia’s public account, disclosed in August. Attack two: MyCERT alerts on 24 March and 18 April about MH370-themed backdoors and a fake investigation-transcript phish aimed more widely. Destination IP in China is not the same as a finding that Beijing ran the operation.

What can be documented at Diego Garcia on 7–8 March 2014?

HA08 North’s trunk failed in March 2014 about 189 km off Diego Garcia; UCT-2 was on the atoll doing near-shore HDAS anode work in 110 ft of water. Sensor, SIGINT, satellite-downlink and aircraft records for 7–8 March are still the question — not a finding.

What was actually fitted on 9M-MRO — SDU, FMS, data buses, 2012 Shanghai repair?

The remote-control board’s forensic finding: need the MAS engineering record, service bulletins, SDU upgrades, avionics and data-bus software versions, and a breakdown of the 2012 Boeing wing-tip repair at Shanghai, before anyone can say a control path physically existed on this tail.

Which of the ten theatre dossiers can actually be pulled?

The forensic board’s bottom row: 4 March Boeing statement of work; P-8/P-3 7–8 March sortie logs; Global Hawk records; Pinckney/Kidd pre-search tracks; JORN operating/tasking logs; SBIRS retrospective; Five Eyes MH370 correspondence; Boeing performance datasets; 9M-MRO avionics/mod configuration; early US intel reporting.

Wikipedia — search for MH370

South China Sea to Ocean Infinity 2027

Most expensive aviation search. Surface 4.5 million km² in 2014; ATSB 120,000 km² underwater; Ocean Infinity 112,000 km² in 2018 and a 15,000 km² 2025–27 box. No main wreckage.

4ORBS — Ashton Forbes video knowledge base

Third-party extract of 824 videos · a claim list, not proof

Structured archive extracted from 824 Ashton Forbes videos. Distinguishes extracted claims from proof. Every material proposition still has to be traced to the original document or video.

A BIG SAFARI collection architecture around MH370

The family is documented. A specific 8 March operation is open.

Gorgon Stare, Blue Devil and MAGIC/Orion are one overlapping ISR family under 645 AESG / BIG SAFARI: same office, overlapping WAMI/SIGINT sensors, reusable GFE through Greenville, and a podded architecture meant to move between airframes. That family is confirmed. Whether any of it collected MH370 is not established and is not ruled out.

A NEW Trace! The FULL MH370 Story, so Far

Mentour Pilot · Petter Hörnfeldt · 16 March 2024 · 56:06

Type-rated 737 captain’s reconstruction from the 2018 report, Inmarsat BTO/BFO, and the Blelly–Marchand end-of-flight paper. Argues the transponder was selected off in two steps, not failed as a unit. Closes with a WSPR lead and a request to restart the search.

A specific MH370 collection event is not yet on the record — and is not ruled out

MAGIC/Orion, Gorgon Stare and Blue Devil form a documented overlapping family under BIG SAFARI. That family is not, by itself, a platform, sensor or sortie on 8 March 2014. The same material does not rule such a deployment out.

Al-Qaeda meeting, Kuala Lumpur, January 2000

Hijackers later on the 9/11 flights attended an al-Qaeda meeting in Kuala Lumpur in January 2000. CIA tracked the meeting. Fourteen years later MH370 left the same city’s airport.

Blelly & Marchand: last log-on is not necessarily a straight dive

Independent paper used by Mentour: right-engine flame-out, APU start, cross-feed, possible eastward or gliding end. BFO steep-descent figures can be read as a manoeuvre, not only as a wreck on the arc.

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.

Captain’s home flight-simulator files

Imaged by RMP · restored coordinates mapped by commentators

Files exist. A restored route into the southern Indian Ocean has been published. The 2018 report did not treat this as a reconstructed plan.

Cargo, including lithium-ion batteries

Manifest reviewed; fire hypothesis not supported

The aircraft carried cargo including lithium-ion batteries. The investigation found they were packed to regulation and did not support a cargo-fire cause.

Controlled descent / ditching

Someone still flying at the end

A pilot or system flies a glide after flame-out, so the wreck lies tens of kilometres from the 7th arc. Flaperon damage is read by some independent engineers as consistent with a ditching sequence.

CTBTO HA08 North at Diego Garcia went dark in March 2014

Cable break ~189 km offshore · South array kept listening

Confirmed by CTBTO. The northern hydroacoustic segment of HA08, off Diego Garcia, suffered a trunk-cable fault in March 2014 about 189–190 km from shore, more than a kilometre and a half down. HA08 South continued. North stayed silent for twelve years. A conventional splash in the southern Indian Ocean is not thereby erased — Cape Leeuwin (HA01) and HA08 South remained in the network.

CyberSecurity Malaysia

National cyber agency · publicly described the 9 March intrusion in August 2014

Confirmed. Agency under the then Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. CEO Amirudin Abdul Wahab is the named source for the 9 March spear-phish of investigation officials. Digital forensics support to the affected departments; work with police and Interpol.

Does the classified Lin addendum name MH370 or a satellite video?

Public FOIA production does not. The addendum is unreleased. Until it is, the leaker identification remains a Forbes attribution.

Flight MH370 — 17 Fascinating Facts

J. Jericho / The Free School · March 2019 · Drive backup PDF

Independent compilation of official-file facts with annexes (simulator pages, passenger list, cargo docs, Boeing patent, ACARS log). Not an official report. Several numbered “facts” still need MOT/ATSB cross-check.

Flight-crew diversion

Manual inputs from the cockpit — who, and why, unproven

The 2018 report says the turn-back likely resulted from manual inputs. It does not identify a crew member as perpetrator and did not treat the home simulator as a plan.

Forensic evidence board — facts, capabilities, missing dossiers

Working chart of intersections · ten target records still outstanding

Cork-board reconstruction: Malaysian military radar and MH370 data on one side; QF-16 2013, UAV/UAS patents, JORN, Kadena P-8A/P-3C, Inmarsat SATCOM and Boeing range models on the other. The bottom row is the live request list — Boeing’s 4 March statement of work, sortie logs, Global Hawk, Pinckney/Kidd tracks, JORN tasking, SBIRS, Five Eyes correspondence, 9M-MRO avionics configuration.

Freescale gyros and the laser / directed-energy race

January 2025 briefing video: twenty Freescale employees on MH370; gyroscopic sensors; a US-led race with China and Russia on precision laser directed energy; later public silence on Freescale’s role; a prime contractor with Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street as large holders, and a reported 38% profit rise in 2014 after missile-defence grants.

Investigation networks spear-phished the day after MH370 vanished

CyberSecurity Malaysia · ~30 PCs · disclosed 20 August 2014

Confirmed as CSM’s public account. On 9 March, officials at the Department of Civil Aviation, the National Security Council and Malaysia Airlines were sent malware disguised as a news article that the aircraft had been found. About thirty computers were infected. Outbound mail carrying confidential files, including meeting minutes and classified documents, some related to MH370, was traced to an IP in China. CSM shut the machines down and asked Chinese providers to block the traffic. Police and Interpol were involved. What exactly was stolen is still unpublished.

Kadena P-3C tasked to the MH370 search

Announced 8 March 2014 · on station 9 March

Confirmed search tasking. Seventh Fleet said a P-3C would leave Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, shortly on 8 March. Naval Today: the P-3 arrived on station the afternoon of 9 March. VP-16 P-8A Poseidon had been in theatre from December 2013 — basing, not a 7–9 March sortie card.

MAGIC

Medium Altitude Global ISR and Communications

USAF endurance-ISR programme. Air vehicle: Aurora Orion. Office: 645 AESG / BIG SAFARI — the same rapid-acquisition group that ran Gorgon Stare and took Blue Devil residuals. Confirmed as a multi-day ISR platform in that family. A specific MH370 operation is not established and is not ruled out.

Malaysian 370: What Happened?

National Geographic UK · 3 March 2015

Early network special, filmed before most African debris and before the 2018 report. Useful as a snapshot of what was sayable at year one; superseded on debris and end-of-flight.
