I haven’t heard that, but I don’t watch stuff about it all that much-didn’t anyone consider an eyewitness report credible? If they weren’t saying an alien mother ship scooped it up, or some other nonsense, why doesn’t someone go look there?
imho, the plane was shot down by a Chinese pilot. Obviously the Chinese gov’t doesn’t want their illegal policy about airspace they don’t own cast in a bad light, and without hard evidence, no one wants to create a big diplomatic blow, what with help needed in other diplomatic areas. I’m not a fan of muzzies, but I think the Malaysian gubmint was hung out to dry on this, by everyone.
