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.

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.

Blaine Gibson

Independent debris hunter

Recovered several western-Indian-Ocean pieces, including the Mozambique flap-track fairing. Finds sit in the Malaysian debris tables at various confirmation classes.

Richard Godfrey

Independent · WSPR tracking

Aerospace engineer arguing Weak Signal Propagation Reporter anomalies trace MH370 to a ~2,827 km² circle near 29.1°S 99.9°E. End-points have moved. Method not peer-reviewed.

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.

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.

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.

4ORBS — Ashton Forbes video knowledge base

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 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.

Can the Motorola and mangosteen cargo be rebuilt at carton level?

Working-log Q28–Q35: airway bill 232-10677085, Motorola SKUs, whether radios/transmitters were present, CG effects, and why the Motorola consignment was not X-rayed.

Can WSPR actually track MH370?

Godfrey’s circle near 29.1°S 99.9°E has not been AUV-searched. The method is unpublished in accredited journals and the database is closed. Correlation with simulator coordinates is not identification.

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.

CSIRO debris-drift studies

Rolls-Royce engine-cowling part recovered near Mossel Bay. In the debris tables at a high-likelihood class. Drift timing is one of the awkward pieces in CSIRO’s work.

Engineering precedent exists. Installation on this airframe is not established.

FIRST RF Phase II — dual-band UHF/X-band airborne SAR

Official SBIR: lightweight dual-band UHF/X-band SAR on a modified Artemis COTS radar plus FIRST RF single-aperture antenna. SWaP ~20 lb / 150 W. Design target included Shadow 200. A concrete alternative to treating Orion as the unnamed FY2013 RF Persistent Sensing platform.

Flap-track fairing found in Mozambique

27 December 2015 / identified 2016

A right-wing no. 7 flap support fairing is recovered at Daghatane Beach, Mozambique. Stencilling matches Malaysia Airlines practice; ATSB judges it almost certainly MH370.
