Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) -- They were words heard around the world as investigators searched for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
Weeks ago, Malaysian authorities said the last message from the airplane cockpit was, "All right, good night."...
There's only one problem. It turns out, it wasn't true.
On Monday, Malaysia's Transport Ministry said the final voice transmission from the cockpit of Flight 370 was actually "Good night Malaysian three seven zero."
Malaysian authorities gave no explanation for the discrepancy between the two quotes. And authorities are still trying to determine whether it was the plane's pilot or copilot who said them.
The new language is routine and is not a sign that anything untoward occurred aboard the flight, said CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo.
But the change in wording weeks into the search for the missing plane raises questions about how Malaysian officials have handled the investigation.
"It speaks to credibility issues, unfortunately," Schiavo said.
"We haven't had a straight, clear word that we can have a lot of fidelity in," said Michael Goldfarb, former chief of staff at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.
"We have the tragedy of the crash, we have the tragedy of an investigation gone awry and then we have questions about where we go from here."
No matter what the pilots' last words were, it's hard to understand what they mean without more details from authorities about what they said and how they said it, CNN aviation analyst Miles O'Brien told "The Lead with Jake Tapper" on Monday.
"Without the preceding information ... either the transcript or the recordings themselves, it's difficult to know what any of that really means," he said. "And that's the problem with this investigation, which has been so opaque."

At least one of them lived long enough to snap a picture with his Iphone 5 from Diego Garcia.
You know ... I’m typing this on an iPad, which has the same operating system as the iPhone. One of the nice things about this iPad, is that I can take pictures and know where they’ve been taken. It also shows the direction I was shooting, along with all the other information.
Now, sometimes, the EXIF information is wrong in regards to the coordinates (slightly off) and I don’t know why it does that, but a few show up that way. So I went looming for something to change the information so I could put it back in the correct location. Anyway, the point is - I can change that information and show a different location than was originally recorded. This can be done. I’ve actually done it on mine.
I dont have an answer . .
I read that, and I don’t know what to make of it. If they are on DG, it would only have been a matter of time for the US to point out where the debris is, because that’s where they put it.
There is no other “military” on DG except us marines and navy seals.
And, if we are holding them for three weeks like that, they are dead.
Plus...if WE are holding them like that, it puts the whole 9/11 truther/Zionist conspiracy back in play.
I love a good conspiracy, but I simply cannot get my head around that.
On an iPhone the GPS is not GPS. It’s triangulation between cell towers or wifi.
So, if you don’t have access to more than one source, it will approximate.
It’s not accurate at all, relatively speaking.
I can fill you in on why the coordinates are off slightly.
My small hand held GPS locator is always a few hundred yards off from the data on my high precision surveying receivers, even before processing the data. It takes a long time for the hand held units to achieve an accurate position.

Its both. The GPS tracking can be turned off, but the system tracking can’t.
You can add to the exif data, but you cannot actually change it. You can also delete it completely.
I think what Malaysian authorities are covering up with this latest release is that there was no sign off from the officer handling the takeoff —
It was either done by someone else or was not done at all and they are busy trying to insert something into the transmission.
And that the plane had been taken over 12 minutes earlier than they have claimed.
And they think that others should trust them with the Black Boxes????
What black boxes?
All that exists in the news stream is talk, and one dark photo.
.
Well — when and if they find them they would be turned over immediately to Malaysia for processing per international law.
Subang Control: Malaysia three seven zero maintain three five thousand, heading zero one zero, contact Ho Chi Min at one two zero decimal niner!
MH370: three five thousand, zero one zero, good night, Malaysia three seven zero!
Whenever aircraft sign off from radio station to radio station (clearance delivery to ground to aerodrome to approach/departure to air route traffic control center) they (pilots) would say good night or good day or roger, so long. I don't see any bad sign for doing radio communications courtesy.
I think this good night will get recycled over and over until we'll forget all about the MH370.
You are exactly correct.
There is not a sat receiver in an iPhone.
The prime minister o Australia mentioned the best rains in the world are working on this. I thought about the old saying about computers when they first came out- GIGO (Garbage in, Garbage Out.)
Given all the contradictions and agendas in this mess, the best brains won't be able to figure it out. (As we are seeing)-Tom
Yes, absolutely. This [link] manufactured MH370 transcript does say Lumpur ATC said first, "good night!". The transcript doesn't really specify who the ATC in contact with. After MH370 signed off from Lumpur Approach after radar separation, who the flight contacted after? Subang area control centre that would endorse them to Ho-Chi-Min ATC?
So, are the Malaysians incompetent, liars, incompetent liars, or all of the above?
