My house key disappeared recently. No call, no trace, no nothing.
The mystery deepens.

I don’t know which is more frightening, Being off the radar or ALWAYS being ON the radar.

The mystery deepens. Not really!
Check out Diego Garcia. Curious?
To: nickcarraway
The “spooks” can read a newspaper from out of space. Yet they can’t figure out what an object floating on the ocean actually is. I’m starting to doubt all “official” information.

I have been doubting Snowden from the beginning.

This is total baloney. There are at least 10, if not 20, countries who could tell you today where the plane or the debris from that plane is.

What about Diego Garcia? Are you saying the plane could have landed there? Did it have enough fuel to get there from the spot it was last known to be?
I doubt an entire AF Base in is on the “plan”. Then again, I guess that’s just as plausible as a “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” type of incident.

If the plane hit the ocean, it’s at the bottom and all the the bodies have become food fish.

I saw a report on 20/20 back in the 80s that said they could read a newspaper. The picture they showed was at street level. The “spook” said that was as close as he could show the public.

From the Internet;
Diego Garcia is a tropical, footprint-shaped coral atoll located south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean. It is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT).
The United States Navy operates Naval Support Facility (NSF) Diego Garcia, a large naval ship and submarine support base, military air base, communications and space-tracking facility, and an anchorage for pre-positioned military supplies for regional operations aboard Military Sealift Command ships in the lagoon.
I didn't know this. Live and learn.

You give Snowden a laptop and he’ll tell us all where this damn plane is!

Lets cut the BS. I believe there are plenty of Countries that could tell you just where the plane is. Also I believe the idiots in the US couldn't find their ars if they were sitting on it.
To: nickcarraway
Personally I find it comforting to be off the grid in those places in the world where its still possible. YMMV
