Infrared Satellite Reveals Heat Flash At Time Of Russian Airplane Disaster
Earlier today, we highlighted commentary from Russia’s Kogalymavia (the airline operating the ill-fated Airbus A321 which crashed in the Sinai Peninsula) where officials said human and technical factors weren’t responsible for the mid-air disaster which killed 224 people.
IS Sinai took credit for “destroying” the plane but it wasn’t immediately clear what the contention was in terms of just how the group went about sabotaging the flight. Subsequently, a series of analysts and commentators opined that there was simply no way the militants could have possessed the technology or the expertise to shoot down a plane flying at 31,000 feet, but as Kogalymavia put it, “a plane cannot simply disintegrate.”
In short, it seems as though something exploded, and while we can’t know for sure whether someone detonated on board or whether, as former NTSB investigator Alan Diehl told CNN, "final destruction" of the plane was the result of "aerodynamic forces or some other type of G-forces,” the circumstances are exceptionally suspicious especially given where the plane was flying and the current rather “tense” relationship between Moscow and Sunni extremists.
Now, the US has apparently ruled out the possibility that a projectile hit the plane but satellite imagery depicts a “heat flash” at the time of the crash which indicates “some kind of explosion on the aircraft itself, either a fuel tank or a bomb.” Here’s NBC:
While many have speculated that a missile may have struck a Russian commercial airliner that went down over Egypt's Sinai peninsula, U.S. officials are now saying satellite imagery doesn't back up that theory.
A senior defense official told NBC News late Monday that an American infrared satellite detected a heat flash at the same time and in the same vicinity over the Sinai where the Russian passenger plane crashed.
According to the official, U.S. intelligence analysts believe it could have been some kind of explosion on the aircraft itself, either a fuel tank or a bomb, but that there's no indication that a surface-to-air missile brought the plane down.
That same infrared satellite would have been able to track the heat trail of a missile from the ground.
"The speculation that this plane was brought down by a missile is off the table," the official said.
A second senior U.S. defense official also confirmed the surveillance satellite detected a "flash or explosion" in the air over the Sinai at the same time.
According to the official, "the plane disintegrated at a very high altitude," when, as the infrared satellite indicates, "there was an explosion of some kind."
That official also stressed "there is no evidence a missile of any kind brought down the plane."
We'd be remiss if we didn't note that the video released by ISIS which purports to depict the plane exploding in mid-air doesn't appear to show any kind of missile, but rather seems to suggest that someone on the ground knew the exact time when the aircraft was set to explode.
To be clear, there's always the possibility that this is a coincidence and that the explosion which brought down the plane wasn't terror related, but given the circumstances, you certainly can't blame anyone for suspecting the worst and as we noted earlier, the Sinai Peninsula is well within the range of Russia's warplanes flying from Latakia:

A senior US official and NBC...
Seriously?
Sorry, CNBC is my preferred source of bullshit...
So they could see the heat flash there, but not over the Ukies with MH-17?
They must think our memories are as short as their penises.

Exactly.
I won't believe anything until the DoD, WH, or Pentagram, posts an animated youtubes video rendition of exactly what they say happened and how Putin shot down his own passenger jet to blame it on ISIS. Then I'll sleep better at night. ;-)
There are some aerial pictures of the crash site out now. It's pretty clear the Airbus was in a flat spin when it hit the desert. The spin may have been so violent the tail broke off and the g-forces so large it would have kept the pilots from performing any effective actions.

The Russians are investigating this all wrong.
They need to wait two months until local villagers and militias have rummaged through the crash-site, and then do a forensic investigation while they get verbal abuse from bystanders waving guns.
The video the IS guys put out seems to show an explosion at the tail of the aircraft. If that was a missle fired from an IS MiG, that would seem to account for the video and the damage at the crash site (and also for the lack of evidence of a ground-based launch).
I'm not totally sold on that video yet, but some of the 'experts' trotted out to refute it have said some amazingly dumb things - one of them claiming that the plane in the video had engines on the tail instead of under the wings (clearly not true) and another claiming that the plane in the video is flying well under 33,000 feet (without saying why).

So as odd as it sounds, with the evidence that's out there right now, it seems to me like an IS MiG, 600 miles or so from home base in Aleppo, shooting an air-to-air missle at a Russian passenger jet is one of the leading contenders right now to explain what happened.
I'd hope they've found pieces of the empennage and are testing them for explosive residue and shrapnel.
Well hey if everyone would just nuke themselves we could get this whole charade over with a whole lot faster
"I don't know what WW III will be fought with, but WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones". Einstein
Yeah, but 'names' will never hurt me.
You obviously were never called a felcher?
you can clearly see that the pilot has his window rolled down and is pointing to an incoming missle. it even looks likehe tried to roll the window back up before the missle hit the plane. also you can see the effects of the spinning because everyone of the passengers was either in the tail or the nose of the plane.
this plane crash analysis is easier than i thought...
"the pilot has his window rolled down"
Apparently, That's the same technique the ones who supposedly crashed into WTC used to toss their passports out the window just before impact so they wouldn't get burned up in the fireball. The dude must have trained in Florida.
On closer examination you can see that the pilot is Robert Stack.
Are we sure this isn't just a case of maintenance being done by the lowest bidder?

The plane suffered a tailstrike in 2001. The crash site is highly compatible with a structural failure associated to it. It is a shame but there has been two similar accifent in the past with fauklty reparations following a tailstrike.
One tiny problem with this theory. 2001 was 14 years ago.....during which time this aircraft underwent THOUSANDS of takeoff/pressurization/landing cycles. A faulty repair to a structurally-critical area would have manifested LONG before now.
In the two knwon previous accident, the reparation occured 7 and 22 years before ...
i could have happened again during this takeoff. This is one of the more likely explanations so far.
Sometimes you dont even feel the tailstrike, because its not severe (and because the runway is so bad). But it might do some small extra damage to the plane.
Very interesting information. I was not aware that some "soft" tailstrike could happen. If the reparation would have consisted of the addition of a new metal plate, a new tail strike could have remove it.

I won't beleive anything these fucks are selling until the World can read the #28pages
Putin has the goods on MH17.
Bad times a comin'.
Amazing coincidence all US satellites eyes blinked at critical moment overlooking MH17 incident.
So told Psaki with veracity unquestionable...
A flash something like this? Possibly sat based?

And with Eastern Ukraine being a War Zone in which The US had an active interest, you can be sure that many different satellites were positioned right overhead. It's perfectly obvious there has been a massive coverup wrt MH017. ATC transcripts never released (And a "disappearing" Spanish Controller), change of registered flight path to right over the Donbass, reduction of altitude by 2K Feet after already established at cruise altitude, perfectly round holes in the fuselage near the cockpit amongst other highly irregular matters.
You can be sure that The US has an accurate track of any missiles involved (Whether SAM or AAM) but it might, perhaps, not fit with the desired narrative?
It's a shame that the Dutch, who are generally very decent people went along (You expect it from Australia). They must have been leaned on very hard and, of course, unlike Germany, they did get their Gold back!

I think you give the USA too much credit. It has been recently announced (google+MSM) that usa.gov erased a very signfigant portion of the records of the Moon Landing. You know, the event that is widely accepted as the most important achevement of all of mankind -- and at the very least -- proved how superior 'muricans are over those red communists.
Yep, lets just reuse those old tapes for morning meeting conference calls ... same thing probably happened with the MH17 data.
"It has been recently announced (google+MSM) that usa.gov erased a very signfigant portion of the records of the Moon Landing."
Hmmm.... I wonder why they did that?
You mean, why did they make the announcement? Because I have little confidence any genuine tapes ever existed. Hollywood tapes? Sure.
Remember, it came from the same guys who brought us the lone-wolf Kennedy assasination, and the 19-guys-in-a-cave WTC demolition. Why the fuck WOULD I believe it? I did when I was a kid in elementary school and watched it live on TV. But I didn't read the Hedge back then.

The Dutch are spineless pussies.
It is why their country is overrun by human trash from a bunch of 3rd world shit holes.
It is true that the Dutch tend to be "Progressive" Socialists. But that is because they sent all their Right-wing crazies to South Africa several generations ago??
They returned to the Netherlands when Apartheid ended, bringing their craziness with them. Since then the Netherlands has become yet another bought-and-paid-for US vassal state. Coincidence?
Probably means the USSA was not directly involved this time, so they don't mind sharing some data.
Perhaps helping their ISIS friends take credit for an explosion on board?
How about the Egyptians planted the bomb in order to get Russian support in the Sinai?
Russia and Egypt have a deal in which Russia will supply helicopters for the Mistrals that Saudi has bought from France on behalf of Egypt. So it is not very likely. The Anglo-Zionists? They will do anything to stop Russia expanding its influence.

There actually was thermal imaging by US satellites on MH17, however this info was never shared with Dutch/Aus/Malay MH17 investigators, at least not according to final MH17 report. Perhaps truth would destabilize geopolitical relationships too much, as Russia has thousands of registered companies in Netherlands and Putin's daugther is reportedly dating some Dutch guy. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/flight-mh17-vladimir-putins-daug...
So they could see the heat flash there,
Ok, so why did it take so long for this info to surface............?
Funny isn't it when MH-17 was downed they knew straight away the Russians did it. Now MSM is doing it's best to play the Russian incident down, and using any excuse except the obvious it was a bomb. Just watched the BBC news a.m they had an expert on from some UK Uni with a thick broad American accent (CIA op came straight to mind) to explain what could have happened, he kind of mentioned a bomb at the end out of the side of his mouth, it killed him to say it.
“some kind of explosion on the aircraft itself, either a fuel tank or a bomb.”
So it seems that THEY have determined that a shattered turbine engine was not in play. No mention of the composition of the metal shards that tore apart the tail area imbedded in the corpses.
-----
Another possible reason for an explosive decompression may be a faulty engine. If a turbine was destroyed, its torn-off blades could penetrate the wing and fuselage.
According to experts, the blades of the turbine "fly out with great speed and, moving in the same plane, cut the liner's wing and fuselage like an angle grinder disc," Kommersant reports. -
Ah, yes, the old center-fuel-trick-explosion trick again - guess it has been long enough since the last one so time is on their side.
Does the A3-whatever bus have a center fuel tank that is capable of mysterious at altitude explosions like the B 747 did?
I have never bought the fuel tank explosion theory. Why? The fuel tank even empty will be full of fuel vapour there would not be sufficient Oxygen to propagate ignition under normal circumstances.
Not to mention the pesky problem of over 200 eyewitness accounts across a wide geographical area noting a distinct missile/rocket plume/exhaust trail leading up to the point of impact. In one of the more amazing findings in the history of history, the FBI seems to have determined that all those people were 'unreliable' or didn't really see what they thought they saw.
The ability to bury a story .... with 200 eyewitnesses .... is scary .... connect my dots ?
9/11. Kennedy. tens of thousands of eyewitnesses, maybe millions. But I repeat myself.
I wonder if US "experts" have ruled out the "fuel crossover tank" as a possibility yet?
