Someone on Reddit said they'd know if it were the flight recorder or not from the signal itself, they're just being cautious about speaking with certainty given all the false leads. So this looks like it might be it.

Looks like an Australian vessel has detected the signal today as well:

I'm sorry, are you trying to dispute the academic judgement of the University of Reddit?

Do you think people would lie on the internet?

This is what we're up against:

Yes, there are only three times any government has ever tried to cover something up. I'm glad all the other governments won't be trying that again.

Pilot, you forgot 9/11 on that list.

And Hurricane Sandy Hook Masacre At Jack Ruby Ridge

Theory 22: Pilot landed airplane on island in the Indian Ocean that still has a WW2 runway after killing the pilot and releasing cabin pressure killing the passengers. Earlier, tracking would have been turned off. Now, a terrorist organization could have a fueled up, untrackable, 777 ready for a terrorist attack a their descresion.

Open to questions...

Unauthorized plane flying without any sort of permission over US/other world power territories? That's suicide for the terrorists, and not a "jihad suicide" either. A stupid one. Well, they're all stupid... but it wouldn't get any results other than getting themselves blown up.

[Howtofly8]

Who is honestly going to shoot down a 777 that May or may not have passengers? The risk is too high even if there is no authorization. Plus you only need authorization to takeoff or land, not fly over airspace. Especially airspace in Asia or the Middle East where regulation of airspace is very limited.

Put me in charge and I'd do it in a second.

*malicious grin*

[Howtofly8]

Then you would be labeled as a terrorist. What if it's not the right airplane, just one with a faulty radio? Plus, the altitude that 777s fly at are too high for any weapons you would be able to acquire, much less use with enough accuracy to take down the airplane.

Ok, you and what army will identify this airplane, travel to the right location, then use your combined small arms power (or expensive missiles) to take down the airplane in the time it takes to take the airplane off and fly it to the area of the terrorist attack. All of the above incidents were either by chance, or a group attacking an airplane they had known was going to be somewhere at a certain time. It could be on its way now and you wouldn't hear of it until after the incident happened. By then, I have calculated that you will be pretty late to pull off your vigilante plans.

Are you assuming that I have some sort of anti-air missile launcher? Because I don't...

[Howtofly8]

I was assuming you didn't. Although i it came across that you did, the NSA could detain you and the potato god would be rid of another enemy.
