This is based on now finding in wikipedia the timing data I needed. It was at 6deg 55min 15sec N, 103deg 34min 43sec E at 1:30am local time = 17:30 UTC. It then was detected by Malay military radar at 2:40am local time "near Pulau Perak, in the Straits of Malacca."
They mentioned that arc and pointed out that it was unlikely to be on that arc because it is almost completely covered by military radars. The idea that the plane could fly over Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan [not to mention the other nearby countries] without being detected is considered pretty unlikely. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:bernie@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
