You are right Rollo We will only hear what we are meant to hear

Google Cloaking Technology and read all the reports about it

Very interesting reading

LadyScozz - on the 23 December 1988 I had said goodbye to friends in Glasgow as I was moving down here to Kent, after saying farewell to my friends, I headed south down the A74(M) and as we passed Lockerbie I was shocked by what I saw.

~Lynda~ I agree with you about cover ups, there are documents in the National Archives that will probably never be released and if any of them are released, they will be heavily redacted before publication, governments of all persuasions are united in their determination that there are things we must never be told - they call it being transparent.

Mobile phones on planes have only limited range. Once beyond the coverage of the cellular network they depend on relay through the plane's communications systems. Thus in the 777 scenario they could not have been used by passengers to contact anybody as most of the on board comms were disabled.

Soon after the plane disappeared I posted that I was dubious that it had crashed. It is of interest that on board were about 20 employees of a USA company well known for its "cloaking technology"

Will the fate of the plane or any of its crew and passengers ever be known ? Probably not. OTOH Hollywood is already lining up possible scriptwriters for the movie ...

My dau in laws family came from Lockerbie before they emigrated to NZ in the 1800s

If this recent plane had been taken over there would have been messages from passengers like other times

don't take this the wrong way, Lockerbie shouldn't have happened,

but the way the bombing was planned, that aircraft should have been lost at sea....as I read it, there was a couple of hours delay, which put the aircraft behind schedule, as it were.....

We visited family in Scotland, Christmas 1988.

I will never ever forget what we saw at Lockerbie.

So many things must be covered up Tania, bet we'd be amazed at what really happens. The missing plane is really intriguing, when governments tell you than can pick a single person out from a tracking sysyem in space, yet cannot track a plane, makes me wonder if they can really pick out people, or do they know what happened to the plane?

Personally I don't believe much any government tells me, they only tell you what they want you to know, not what the truth is.

I was reading something interesting about the Lockerbie bombing the other day
Makes you wonder what else is covered up on a regular basis.
An Iranian intelligence agent defecting to Germany has stated that the Lockerbie bombing was initiated by Iran and contracted to a Syrian extremist group as revenge for the missile attack on the Iranian civilian aircraft shot down by the us ship Vincennes in 1988.
Apparently the CIA where always well aware of this fact so how on earth did the US
And UK governments arrive at Libya being responsible.
The journalist Robert Fisk. Who was somewhat an expert in Middle East affairs proposed this was the reason decades ago
Interestingly the US never apologised to Iran for it and the officer in charge of the ship was never reprimanded
