Engineer says doomed MH370 plane ‘flew in circles for 20 mins before vanishing’
THE Sun via NY Post ^ | 11-10-21 | Mark Hodge

An engineer claims he’s used a computer program to discover flight MH370 was put into a 20-minute holding pattern before vanishing.

The doomed jet was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014 when it disappeared with 239 passengers on board, sparking one of the greatest aviation mysteries ever.

Richard Godfrey has been tracking the Boeing 777’s flight path using WSPRnet – which uses radio signals – and claims to have made a major breakthrough.

He says the plane was put into a holding pattern for around 22 minutes near the coastline of Sumatra, an Indonesian island, reports AirlineRatings.

WSPR is NOT what they say it is.
This is totally bogus.

Agreed. As someone who has actually used wspr and the associated database wsprnet, has qso'd with Joe Taylor, is versed in radio propagation, and read the article, it sounds like complete b.s.

Yes, been there and done that, too, and you are correct.

(P.S. JT worked me on a FT8 version years ago now. I had a clean signal!)

WSPR is not transmitted by commercial aircraft. Total fake news.

Well, that would certainly explain why the search on the ‘southern arc’ of the sat signals revealed absolutely nothing, now wouldn’t it?

I was always suspicious of the analysis of the Inmarsat data (which was never fully released).

This was the only reference to a full release I could find at the time and it was worthless.

This engineer is saying the ‘plane was put into the holding pattern long after it was lost by ATC.
But otherwise, I agree with what you say.

WSPR is NOT what they say it is. It is receiving stations connected to a server somewhere in cyberspace. The receivers collect and report signals, by listening for call signs on specific frequencies. It is actually an amateur radio centric project. The description of “tripwires “ is pure hokum.

Thank you! I was going to post what WSPR really is, as I'm a ham radio guy also.

I was stationed there in ‘78, ‘79. Had a Russian show of power over the island. Jets and planes filled the sky.

Wow...what a post! Thanks for that! The whole angle of flying into the sea so fast that there would be hardly any evidence never occurred to me! All I do know is that this guy was some kind of whack job regardless of the outcome. It would’ve been easier just to fly into a mountain like that other guy did!

I’m so uncultured I was referring to the Firesign Theater album from 1974. (Not knowing that IT was referencing a reference made in a Sherlock Holmes book).
