Malaysia may have to rope in the Maldives for help if it is true that the island nation's residents spotted the missing MH37O on the day it disappeared.
Local news site Haveeru Online reported on Tuesday that residents of Kuda Huvadhoo, a remote Maldives island in Dhaal Atoll saw a "low-flying jumbo jet" on the morning of March 8.
Coincidentally, Bahasa Malaysia newspaper Berita Harian also reported on Tuesday that investigators have found five airport runways, which included the Male International Airport in the Maldives, loaded in MH370 pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah's homemade flight simulator.
Haveeru Online reported that several residents told the news site that they saw the plane at 6.15am local time (9.15am Malaysian time) on March 8.
The eyewitnesses claimed that the plane, which was white with red stripes, was travelling southeast towards Addu, the southern tip of the Maldives.
They also reported that they heard the incredibly loud noise that the plane made when it flew over the island.
"I've never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We've seen seaplanes, but I'm sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly.
"It's not just me either, several other residents have reported seeing the exact same thing. Some people got out of their houses to see what was causing the tremendous noise too," an eyewitness said.
I dunno, it's amazing during events such as these how many people come out of the woodwork having "seen things".
Not doubting the validity of the story but just keeping an open mind.

Everyone's running around like chickens with their heads cut off. .
Kuda Huvadhoo, is roughly 2,000nm - 2,500nm southwest of both the departure point in Kuala Lumpur and the last known transponder fix off the east coast of Malaysia.
The question is:
- What did the eye witnesses actually see over the skies of Kuda Huvadhoo, Maldives?. Was it actually Flight 370. Or, was it something made to look plausible, blowing by at an unexpected high rate of speed and fairly low to the ground?
Why even ask this question? Because the physical evidence says that Flight 370 could not have made it this far on the fuel load known to have existed before departure. That's why. When the physical evidence does not add up and when the numbers don't calculate and people start telling you about "eye witnesses" some thousands of miles away that nobody has confirmed but an "official source," THAT is when you might want to start asking yourself: am I being snowed and to what end?
"Based on the monitoring up to date, no indication of Flight MH370 has been observed on any military radars in the country,” the statement said.

"Furthermore, the data of radars at Maldives airports have also been analysed and shows no indication of the said flight. The Maldives National Defence Force will continue to render any assistance required by the Maldives Police Service and international authorities on the search for the missing flight and related issues.”

The airplane is probably sitting in Diego Garcia. It's an American plot for tinfoilers! :lol:
Three words. Koch Brothers.
The third word is "period", right? :mrgreen:
No it isn't. 1,700 nm. 2,100 miles. How about just ONCE, you stop pushing ridiculous conspiracy theories and get your FACTS straight?
You see conspiracies everywhere. This isn't one. It's not being "made to look" like anything. Some guy wanted attention from a reporter and said he saw a low flying "jumbo jet." They probably did see a jet. But there are thousands of them flying at any given moment. They didn't see the 777, nor is anyone claiming to have seen the 777.
My guess? People in the Maldives heard they were in the guy's simulator, and then thought "Hey... didn't I see a plane that day?"
Not it is not. We were both wrong.
Change my unite of measure from nautical miles to statute miles and the your numbers are correct. Your miles are incorrect. I measured the distances using Google Earth, so dragging and dropping a line between two destinations with labels can't be wrong. The Rule Map Length drop-down list was selected to "Miles" in my example, instead of Nautical Miles.
Your correction is also wrong. Your label is designated as Miles and should be Nautical Miles. If you use Miles, as in your correction the distance between both points (the last known fix and the departure point) will be incorrect.
How about once you finally answer a question that does not fit your Official Lunacy Theories. Such as, how on earth do you account for the debris field of Flight 93, being extended into New Baltimore, some EIGHT (9) MILES away from the crater?
You ran and hid from that question all day long today, now you come here pretending to be correcting something.
Either way you slice it, Flight 370 DID NOT have a fuel load sufficient to make the trip suggesting by the media, at the time I made my post on the subject.
But, if you don't, then sit back and try to learn something, if you are capable of learning anything at all.
Radar Suggests Jet Shifted Path More Than Once
By MICHAEL FORSYTHE and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDTMARCH 14, 2014
Radar signals recorded by the Malaysian military appeared to show that the missing airliner climbed to 45,000 feet, above the approved altitude limit for a Boeing 777-200, soon after it disappeared from civilian radar and turned sharply to the west, according to a preliminary assessment by a person familiar with the data.
The radar track, which the Malaysian government has not released but says it has provided to the United States and China, showed that the plane then descended unevenly to 23,000 feet, below normal cruising levels, as it approached the densely populated island of Penang.
