The Strange Case Of The Missing Plane

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Diego Garcia has a large US Navy and Air Force base with ships (submarines) and aircraft like B1 supporting operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. What about a plan to attack this Pearl Harbor style?

In this era where spy technology can hear and see a pin drop from a hundred miles above us I suspect somebody knows but I think then they'd have to explain how they know and from their perspective that might compromise their satellites, drones etc. Not paranoid me, oh, no. :innocent:

Something I read said that the pilot's and copilot's houses have been searched. WTF?

Mainly due to the fact that the transponders had to be turned off by somebody who knew what they were doing. They now seem to be hinting at the fact that they were both implicit in it.

My primary thought about that was "why is it even possible to turn off the transponders?"

That actually is one of the first things I've read about this whole situation that makes sense.

Strange however, that no official source has mentioned this yet or came to the same conclusion
