The US government has a worldwide sat system. In fact, terror states do a lot of their stuff at night to hide from the ‘easy detection’. Daylight satellite imagrey is now child’s play. I don’t know a thing about this weird ‘mystery’, just assumed it was terrorism. Did it disappear in broad daylight or at night?
Tt is common for the government to ‘deny-deny-deny’ terrorism. Remember TWA 800? I’m not surprised by any of this. The more they say it’s ‘unexplained’, the more they cast about for weird explanations, the more likely they know something and don’t want to share for whatever reason.
At the same time, I’m sure that BO is happy to get everyone’s mind off of his scandals.
I don’t buy the daylight satellite images only theory.
I work with IR, and I would assume the government has IR satellites up. I would also assume a jetliner shows up real good in IR.
So it would seem likely to me there is imagery available.
