Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen told federal investigators that he overheard the phone call between Stone and Trump. Assange first mentioned having emails related to Clinton on June Trump has publicly denied being aware of any information being relayed between WikiLeaks and his advisers. Allegations of communications between Stone and Trump to discuss WikiLeaks first surfaced early last year, when Cohen testified to a congressional committee about the July conference call. At the time, Stone denied any such involvement.

The weather is generally good with a few drifting clouds, but the NASA picture resolution is completely inadequate. I hope you can find a lttle time to make the XMI spectrum available, but just take it easy and focus on your family first. The advantage is the frequent scans. Search their archives, place a free order, and you get notified when the download is ready. Beware that you will get a bunch of. I believe I was able to use Fiji to import the files as raw data by removing the header.
I saved them as bit lossless. A section near the bottom of this page on my site has links to more sunglint info and the sat image browser. The possibility of the striations in the middle of that image being a debris field is rather compelling. Crash site It may help you a bit with the contrails to look in the WV band.
Some of the missing segments in the Visible band can be seen there. However, it helps most for the SE-NW contrail. However, the contrails are broader, so for precision work it is not perfect. At the same time I took a new look around 18 S. I think there are 3 contrails, but none of them are near 7th arc. Two comes out of Learmouth and go north no surprice, and certainly unrelated to MH One is far out to sea, and I have no idea what it is certainly also unrelated to MH Finally, I took a quick look around 25 S.
Unfortunately I think it is a cloud formation. However, I did not do a careful analysis, so this first impression comes with significant uncertainty. It was in geostationary orbit and its cameras were designed to observe weather systems. Contrails or their shadows might still be visible in these images anyway in the right conditions high contrast. It is best visible in visual image.
There may be a faint dark trace of it also in IR. It being dark cold means this is really a shadow of something on the cloud below. Could be a contrail, could be an unusually linear cirrus cloud. Unfortunately it seems no satellite in low Earth orbit happened to pass by the area in the early hours that morning. By the time the area was imaged later on March 8th any contrails there would have long since dissipated.
I agree with Ed that it is unlikely any debris would be visible in the satellite images. The resolutions of cameras that are meant to image large areas are just not good enough and the operators of the satellites with capabilities to image small areas with high resolution would have had to know where to look immediately after the crash. That said, I recall there were some unconfirmed detections of debris south of the 7th arc a few weeks after the crash, but that was probably just junk that had fallen off cargo ships and ended up in the southern circumpolar current.
However, in the past I did already try to look for Sunglint and similar effects in some general-purpose NASA satellite pictures. I had no success, since the resolution was typically km or worse. I also tried to look at ESA satellites. All staff members at EU universities can register and freely download pictures. I did register, but unfortunately the good stuff only starts in Under perfect conditions the resolution is approaching 1 km you are right it is typically 2 km.
I think this may give some chance to find a medium-sized debris field, — in particular if one knows in which direction and how fast it moves. The only alternative and last resort is a spy satellite. However, I have no access to any of those. She wrote on pg. See link below. Yet, initial reports in Western media failed to mention this fact, and simply portrayed the true nationality of these 2 young men on board the missing flight as sufficient to warrant suspicion. Just 2 months later in May , The Guardian ran an extensive piece on Christians who leave Iran for the West with false passports, including via Malaysia.
Here are some quotes. But troubles from back home followed her to the southeast Asian country where Islam is the predominant religion. Iranian authorities frequented the church were refugees attended and filmed members, she says. By its nature it is speculative though even theories about where the wreckage might lie rely to some degree on assumptions and subjective interpretation. Its purpose is as a mind-clearer to see what effect that hypothesis would have on underwater wreckage search proposals.
Considering that the Malaysian investigators proposed that MH was diverted by third parties, if there was such evidence, it seems strange that it was withheld. Thoughts and prayers to his family. However, what Malaysia seems to be hiding is incriminating evidence re: the Captain ZS.
Malaysia has been in cover-up mode from the start, true, but it is probably Malaysian home-grown intrigue being obscured. He indicates rumors were flying from the early days, so I just think there was a lot of speculating going on, especially when Razak said it was apparent deliberate diversion.
David Agree with some things. Missing IFE logon is potentially not so unexplained with active pilot. Once we have active pilot, passive flight theory is questionable. Malaysia brought this tragedy upon itself by its irrational international relations.
Victor, Based on the information I know, I think the aircraft was commandeered after IGARI, but the would-be hijackers were probably invited on board the cockpit well before the transponder was turned off. FdC wrote about the Kiwi, Mike Mckay on pg. It really looked as if this man was either under surveillance or under protection — or both. Another thing seemed clear. He had to stay well clear of reporters…. If the fire in the sky that had been seen and described by the 57 yr old New Zealander working on an oil rig right about the time of the loss of contact was not MH, then what was it?
I believe that what he saw was a military grade parachute flair, either dropped by an aircraft, or launched from the surface of the sea. Why was this flair launched? Was there another aircraft looking for something, possibly debris, on the ocean surface?
Or was it a signal to someone? During the course of the trials, the lawyers who represented the plaintiffs became fewer and fewer. The lawfirms themselves were located either in the East Coast, Chicago, or Seatle.
The petition was filed July 27 against the aircraft manufacturer, with a response due Aug The respondent filed a waiver of right to respond on Aug 27 a Thursday. On Sep 2, it was distributed for the conference of Sep According to CNN, she was working as late as Sep 11, and her sudden death came as a shock to her staff.
Justice Alito took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition. This would suggest that the other justices did look at the case before denying the petition. Did Alito remove himself out of courtesy to the late RBG, leaving the court evenly balanced between conservative and liberal justices? CanisMR: Why do you believe the hijackers were invited into the cockpit?
The problem they had, they were blaming Boeing for mechanical issue, for which there is none apparent. The lower U. TBill: I believe the issue was one of venue. I have heard little from Mary Schiavo that I agree with, as her job is to advocate for her clients, which may or may not intersect with factual conclusions.
Victor Agreed. But I would not mind hearing her account of what happened to the court case. We have known that since the radar data became available, if not well before. As for FdC as a source… she has no clue what happened, and certainly does not know what McKay saw, if anything.
The data shows that fuel exhaustion occurred sometime before the simulation aircraft was dragged down to the SIO. Fuel exhaustion was likely brought about by the use of the Fuel Jettison system. At the time the simulation was re-started in the SIO, there was no fuel. The simulation was re-started in the SIO with no fuel.
That is incredibly incriminating. The sim data is still undisclosed in its completeness. As such we are not provided the run time in the simulator. However, Mick first discovered the fuel jettison time is consistent with the run time between 10N and 45S1. ATSB confirmed that for Mick, without disclosing the data.
I independently started coming to the same conclusion, and asked Mick about it, and he told me what he found out. Yes it is an inference. However, I would ask 1 why is Malaysia hiding the complete sim data? Malaysia probably hid it because it would have been explosive in its implications of an apparent hijacking of MH, which to me has 1MDB implications.
We have to read intent into the data, which we have been extremely reluctant to do, for both the sim data and MH flight data. But I submit if we take that step, it is an apparent clandestine flight to the SIO, and it looks to me like a known flight path part of a game plan that had been worked out before. TBill: Malaysia never wanted the sim data to be released.
I also suspect that the data fields extracted by the Malaysian investigators might not exactly correspond to the data fields extracted by the FBI and shared with Australia. Perhaps different forensic methods were used. It is not hard to understand why the Malaysians preferred to not disclose evidence that implicates the Captain.
And why were the targets in the Lido Hotel radar image not shared with the Australians? The only explanation I can think of is that a the trace after came from 3rd country records they were not at liberty to share b they made it up. Arto L: I was taking an extra look at contrails and realized that I had been too sloppy on the two near 18 S.
They do not come out of Learmonth but instead they go in or out not sure of Port Headland. Sorry for my mistake. I get the same result independent of method looking at moving clouds or at progression of contrails. Is that in agreement with your knowledge of the recording method?
It matches up well with the civilian radar data and the first handshake BTO and BFO data allowing for the right offset maneuver after the last target at The Lido Hotel data combined with the civilian radar data shows a shallow turn around Penang and then an intercept of a radial from VAMPI followed by a trajectory along N The implication is one of automated flight with navigation by waypoints.
This suggests cockpit inputs from an experienced aviator. It would be hard to come to this conclusion with only the target at , which might be why the Lido Hotel data was not shared. The semi-sub platform had been repositioned to that location in the weeks prior to 8th Mar from another site much further north in exploration Block offshore Da Nang, to Block-5 in the Con Son Basin.
In early , pipeline laying was ongoing in the Con Son Basin and production was already established using FSO vessels. Songa Mercur was not sitting in glorious isolation, s of km offshore.
Instead, McKay described hearing a fixed-wing aircraft. Unlike a focused beam of light coming from a landing light, what he saw appears to be shedding light omnidirectionally from a fixed point in the sky. And if what he saw was something innocent and unrelated to MH, then why was he under surveillance 5 years after the incident? Compare his situation to Kate Tee, who may also have witnessed something, but today blissfully blogs away unmolested.
Mick Gilbert: That analogy is absurd. The end of the simulation was in the SIO and with fuel exhaustion. That the fuel was removed just before or just after the move to the SIO makes no difference. It shows the captain had prior thoughts about flying in a remote part of the SIO with no fuel, which occurred in real life several weeks after he created the simulation.
To most of us, that severely implicates the captain. As for discerning any sound over that estimated distance, while stood on a rig platform surrounded by machinery in operation, unlikely. Questions worthy of answers from some investigative journalist. Notably, my efforts turned up the relevant information in minutes without setting foot in a NZ public library. Was it really suspicious that it waited momentarily until Gumshoe Mike pulled off before also proceeding to the main road?
Why follow only to the main road? StreetView imagery shows nondescript white cars parked along this cul-de-sac.
Another mention of Ms Tee. Yet another example of embellishment. Each blog post related to the matter involves something new, a fresh recollection.
The many recollections do not, in any way, help locate 9M-MRO. The resolution of the images from Pleiades of the stuck freighter in the Suez Canal is impressive. I think he saw a parachute flare, either launched from an aircraft searching for something below, or launched from the ocean, signalling to the aircraft above.
Despite the hum of machinery, the sound of a helicopter is quite distinct, and it can be ruled out. The default language of the Gmail client is Vietnamese, something may have been lost in translation. A strange car parked in my neighborhood would also arouse my suspicion.
It would not surprise me if military was aware of the disappearance from monitoring ATC communications and had conducted a small search operation. Or, the flare was completely unrelated to MH As I remember it we still have no idea as to what his purpose would be in doing that and why the aircraft would need to be there to do whatever it was. Had he intended a pilotless descent on MEFE he would risk there being a vessel that might observe that, particularly were there dips and climbs during it.
Besides he would risk an ELT transmission should the impact not be extreme. Still, why he choose not to monitor the leg south and control the descent. Also why, were there to be no to check for vessels in the locality, would he choose daylight for that? David: Others might have stronger opinions, but I can only guess as to why he created the simulation.
However, I am a lot more certain that the simulated flight to the SIO ending in fuel exhaustion was indicative of premeditation. Victor You asked At what time do you believe the cockpit was commandeered? Why do you believe the hijackers were invited into the cockpit? Here is a more complete answer. How much has it been for Syria?.. How much has it cost the people of Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Iraq. Not only in dollars and cents but in lives? Here, which is peanuts, trying to find what happened to a plane with innocent people on board…..
Closer to home, how much money is being paid to patrol these rocks in the South China Sea? Compare that to the cost of this SAR. The data needs to be uploaded via satellite in real-time to those who have the capability to analyze it. MANPOWER — prior to departure, after the cargo doors closed, someone on board the aircraft would have to connect the power cords between the surveillance equipment and the batteries, and connect the data cables to the satcom terminal of the plane.
It just so happens that 2 east european passport holders who arrived at the boarding gates at the very last minutes, were described as more energetic than the rest of passengers, as if they had just physically exerted themselves. They also happened to be sitting directly beneath the satcom terminal, and so possibly completed their tasks in the process of storing their large, identical, carry-on baggage in the overhead compartment. After storing their luggage, they may have headed to the front of the cabin to speak to the captain who would have been aware of the mission, and allowed the men to sit in the cockpit, hence the foreign voices in the cockpit mentioned by FdC.
China could have got wind of this operation and so was eagerly waiting for the special cargo to be delivered in Beijing, where it would just grab it.
Instead, in the middle of the flight, the special operatives announced that the mission was compromised, and took control of the aircraft away from the pilots, and directed it back to Malaysia, towards Penang.
The pilots who were locked out of the cockpit, seeing that the plane had swung around Penang airport without landing, panicked and started calling on their cellphones. But no, readers are served up a mish-mash of intrigue and misinformed inanity. One of many FdC statements that show how totally ignorant she is of how the world actually works. Complete nonsense. He also proposes what he thinks is the only scenario that is credible. Spoiler alert: The captain diverted the plane.
Originally from California, he is currently studying Russian Language and Culture. Surprisingly enough, Dempsey does not have any background in aviation safety, but this does not hamper his ability to write captivating articles on different aviation accidents, where he highlights everything from pilot error to counterfeit parts.
The Avion Newspaper interviewed Kylan via Zoom to ask questions and to inquire about his upcoming books. Perhaps he was just being cautious; we may never know. Triangulation and more sophisticated radio location techniques, such as time of arrival methods, require multiple receiving points at different locations.
These receivers send location-relevant information to a central point, or perhaps to a distributed system in which all participate, such that the information can be correlated and a location computed. China sea. Perhaps this is what FdC really meant when she wrote on pg. Sure, he could have selected other alternates that resulted in even more fuel.

Nothing else seems to be working. VictorI OK thank you for the link. At least now I will understand references to Admiral Cloudberg.
Don Thompson. The reality of the situation the vessel is in, can best be described by simply looking at the numbers involved that resulted in its grounding. Ever Given had entered the southern end of the canal at 8 knots speed over ground SoG and subsequently the speed increased to about 13 knots — apparently in trying to get steering control when being buffeted by a strong southerly wind.
