A British sailor told Australian authorities that she saw what she now believes to be a plane on fire flying in waters off Thailand on the same day that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared with 239 people on board, according to media reports.
Katherine Tee filed a report with the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which is leading the search effort for the missing plane from Western Australia, claiming that a burning flying object that she spotted while sailing with her husband from Kochi, India, to Phuket, Thailand, could have been the missing Beijing-bound Boeing 777. Flight MH370 went missing on March 8, after veering off course shortly after take-off from Kuala Lumpur, and months of investigations have led to very little in the way of concrete findings, leading to widespread speculation about the plane's fate.
“I thought I saw a burning plane cross behind our stern from port to starboard, which would have been approximately north to south,” Tee wrote on sailing website Cruisers’ Forum. “Since that’s not something you see every day, I questioned my mind. I was looking at what appeared to be an elongate plane glowing bright orange, with a trail of black smoke behind it. It did occur to me that it might be a meteorite. But I thought it was more likely that I was going insane.”
Tee expressed her regret that she only spoke about what she saw nearly three months after the plane went missing.
