I'd still bet on ocean crash. Flying low or not, heading across the Bay of Bengal towards land, and you're going to get pinged with military radar.

- jonah 13y agoIndia claims to not have their military radar on all the time. "Too costly."

- pinkskip 13y agoThanks.
- sidww2 13y agoThat's only for the Andaman and Nicobar islands though which are very far from the mainland. I'd be surprised if there's no 24/7 radar for the mainland.
- confluence 13y agoStill have to hit landfall. The chance of them threading that needle is low. I highly doubt the south east Asian mainland coast is not fully monitored.
- l33tbro 13y agoGetting rather bored with folks around me who seem to be treating this like it's another HBO boxset. I agree with you - and I think a lot of people just really seem to enjoy the experience of speculating and entertaining these fantastical, mysterious theories. The reality is that it probably landed in the drink some time ago.
- confluence 13y agoIt would make for a great HBO boxset though :) As for the fantastical, mysterious theories, there are plenty of real conspiracies hanging around with verifiable support, that we don't need to make up bullshit ones. As for whether or not this one is a conspiracy, we must refrain from pontificating until we get more evidence. The default belief must be disbelief.
