MORE EYEWITNESSES SAY FIGHTER JETS WERE CLOSE TO MH17 WHEN IT WAS SHOT DOWN

If you are wondering why Ukraine refuses to open up their log books of military flights for 17th July then watch the following documentary that has been shown on Russia Today over the weekend. The documentary shows yet more eyewitnesses who claim that they saw fighter jets close to MH17 when it was shot down. And in contrast to the 'eyewitnesses' for the Collectiv and Der Spiegel reports, which produce yet more contradictions to the previous reports and claims proclaimed by NATO media and their go-to wannabes Belling Cat, these eyewitnesses went on tape, their faces can be seen. And these are in addition to the eyewitnesses interviewed by the BBC in a report which the BBC subsequently pulled.

The documentary also shows a Su-25 flying at over 10000 metres. This fighter is not recommended to fly at that height not because it cannot but because the cockpit is not sealed so there is added danger for the pilot at that height, but shown in the documentary is that if the pilot feels comfortable and able then he/she can fly at over 10000 metres altitude.

So, we all need to ask: why does the Ukraine military refuse access to their log books of military flights for 17th July 2014?

Reflections on MH17


And at last, Belling Cat are looking into the contradictions in the proposed launch sites, that I have been uniquely highlighting since last weekend upon the publication of the reports from Collectiv and Der Spiegel. So far the three proposed sites are:
1. Chernukino, proposed by the Ukraine Security Service based on evidence gained from intercepted phone calls;
2. 5 Km south of Shnizhne, claimed by Belling Cat and RTL Nieuws based on geolcation and a photograph of a plume of smoke;
3. 3 Km north of Shnizhne, claimed by Collectiv and Der Spiegel based on 'eyewitness' statements, but also proclaimed by Belling Cat even though they contradict the previous two.

An in depth look at the claimed launch sites of the missile that shot down #MH17 appearing on @Bellingcat next week.

Readers must understand that it is not necessarily the case that one of these proposed launch sites must be true. All three could be false, which would explain the number of contradictions and wide variance in geographical location.

Readers must also question why the USA, which says it has data from 'sensors' which shows the launch site as somewhere around Shnizhne, does not release that evidence, as well as satellite images, but instead refuses to release that data and the images and allows the war and sanctions to go on and conspiracy theories to grow?

Readers must also understand that as yet nobody has proved that MH17 was shot down by a BUK. There is now even more serious doubt about the origin of the main piece of evidence that was used to convict Russia. That is a video of a BUK with a missing missile. The Ukraine Security Service at first said it was filmed in Krasnodon, but this was changed to Luhansk. The time was given as dawn on 18th July. But the precise location was found to be a suburb a few Kms west of the centre of Luhansk. I questioned, so far without answer, how such a BUK could travel through a war zone infested with Kiev Nazis between Shnizhne and Luhansk. But the time and location of this video have changed again. Because according to the reports of Collectiv and Der Spiegel, proclaimed by Belling Cat as the gospel truth, the video was filmed on the N21 somewhere in Luhansk, even though Belling Cat had traced that location to a few Kms west of Luhansk and the N21 goes nowhere near west Luhansk!! And the new time is either late afternoon or evening of 17th July (they haven't made their minds up yet).

So that is the state of play. This is now when Belling Cat earn their NATO points: how will they explain the contradictions in proposed launch sites and the consequences?

This could be an interesting week.
