Would it be possible for some other craft (or a missile!) to have gotten out there without being noticed on anybody’s radar?

Don’t see any storm fronts or high winds in the area.

And it is too high for it to have encountered a flock of birds.

Amazingly, FNC just bumped in with this BN and said they’d (gasp!) pre-emt the Huckster with updates.

The mention of a microburst/downdraft, that makes real good sense if the plane was supposed to be at 23K but was recorded @ 750ft.

What model aircraft. There were some pretty hairy stories about Airbus BSOD’s.

That’s a huge bay... wouldn’t be hard for a motorboat to get out there, do something dirty, then slip away. Just saying.

The black stuff in the red stuff is the falling air, possibly a downdraft/microburst.

Note to self: Never book travel in South East Asia or Micronesia with a 3rd World country operated national airline or local carrier...

Well it looks like the red stuff was giving rise to at least one spot of black stuff.

That’s quite a bit of black stuff in that red stuff.
