Submitted
The Australian government announced that the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet shifted hundreds of miles north Friday morning In a statement released midday Friday, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said that the Boeing 777 is likely not to have traveled as far south into the Indian Ocean as had previously been estimated. The agency said that the new information was gleaned from an ongoing analysis of radar data .... (www.frequentbusinesstraveler.com) More...

Until wreckage is found, and proven to be from flight MH370, this will join the ever growing list of theories and calculations as to the fate of the aircraft and its unfortunate passengers and crew. Unfortunately the authorities and the media like to present each new theory as though it is fact and so confuse the public and drive the families of those missing into despair.

Call me when you have a picture of a boat pulling a piece of aluminum out of the water that says MALAYSIA on it. Until then, all speculation and hogwash.

I think maybe the people who were doing the calculations have possibly been under the impression it was cruising at FL370 instead of 12,000 and redoing the calculation brought them more north. just my impression.

Okay okay, it is time to come clean on the missing jet....you see, Elvis was in disguise and flying coach. He complained the seat was too narrow, and that the Chinese people did not understand what his "comfort zone" was (as the passenger next to him was a close talker. He requested from an older woman who was a flight attendant named "Amelia E." that he be moved to another seat. Just then the plane took a sudden drop due to the pilot falling ill (he ate the fish). Minutes later, they made an announcement on the over head if there was a pilot on the plane. A very hairy man who went by the name Grrruuummmmgruuuuuum (his passport had his name as Chewbacca)...turns out that he is the most gifted pilot in the known universe. Once he took over the controls...that is where things got crazy. The Chinese thought that he looked more like a meal than a mammal capable of flying the 777 (let alone the Millennium Falcon). A crazy vegan woman from the Chengdu China panda research base went off to defend the new pilot. It was a mutiny, the plane then flew to China under control of a 12 year old boy who spent almost every waking hour playing the PS4 that his six year old sister stole from the factory she assembles them in. The hairy pilot was consumed raw by the blood thirsty passengers (tasted like dog).

The craft was subsequently taken apart bolt by bolt like an EP3.

Malaysian Air MH370 Search Zone Changes

The plane was going faster than previously thought, so it must have burned fuel faster, resulting in a new search area.

Must have, could have, should have. All this is just authorities back tracking, forward tracking and sideways tracking because they, in all reality, have no bloody idea.

New objects sighted as Flight 370 search shifts dramatically

Forget all those satellite photos showing promising patches of debris. The search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has moved again.
In a stunning turn, Australian authorities announced Friday they were abandoning the remote region of Indian Ocean where search crews had spent more than a week looking for the plane. A new analysis of satellite data showed the plane could not have flown that far south, they said.
"We have moved on from those search areas," said John Young, general manager of emergency response for the Australian maritime authority.
The new zone is 680 miles (about 1,100 kilometers) to the northeast, closer to the Australian coast.
