What Happened to MH370?

MH370 disappeared and its final path is uncertain.
The search has focused on the southern Indian Ocean.
This episode is about whether WSPR can add new information.
The WSPR approach makes two separate claims:
Claim 1: Aircraft affect WSPR measurements in a statistically detectable way.
Claim 2: Those effects contain enough spatial information to reconstruct an unknown aircraft trajectory.
That separation is essential. Claim 1 can be true while Claim 2 is false, or useful only under particular geometries.
The research programme is designed to find that out experimentally rather than assume it.
The key question is: Given only WSPR observations and an initial aircraft state distribution, how much information about an unknown aircraft trajectory can the WSPR network actually recover?

As you know, I am already convinced by your work, your dedication and expertise and as this video shows, looking at every aspect. My personal view is that, given the specific location and relatively limited area you have identified, it should be searched as a matter of course. Finding MH370 there would answer many, perhaps most, of the questions that have persisted for over twelve years. If it is not there, that too would be valuable evidence. Ultimately, it is the search and the evidence it produces that should decide the matter, but as we know, certain elements still require proof points. As I believe Geoffrey once said, it seems counter-intuitive that you have to provide the evidence to start the search, rather than searching to provide the evidence.
Looking forward to resumption of OI search starting Nov/Dec. 🙂Cheers
