Malaysian Air Force that its military radar tracked the plane as it passed over the small island of Pulau Perak.
If you draw line from where the aircraft turned and the island of Pulau Perak you will hit Maldives.
Actually I tend to believe the “eye witnesses”. They know an airplane when they see one up close. They know whether planes routinely fly that low over their island or not. Very, very loud means the engines were running. Being that low, the plane was either going to land or crash. If the timeline and the direction fit, then why would anyone be looking anywhere else?
It is reported that no plane should have been in the area at the time. They described the plane they saw as being white with markings consistent with Malaysian Airlines MH370.
Good you are already here with an explanation
Simple a matter a drawing a straight line from ... A to B
There is also the satellite photo of a low-flying, twin engine large jet flying near the south end of the Adamines (sp?) Islands. Not sure , but that might be along a similar trend line.
