There was a lady on a sailboat passage that was in the rough flight path of the missing plane in the indian ocean. She claims she saw a plane on fire at approxamatly half it's normal cruising altitude at night with an abnormal black smoke trail behind it..

Did not report it as she did not believe her own eyes. Now she has reported it. She knew nothing of the loss of the plane until they made landfall some time much later. Personally I still feel there is at least a small possibility the cargo of lithium batteries could have played into this Disaster.

Who know what the truth is but I found her report interesting. She is 41 years old and wants no publicity. She apparently studies the stars when on the night watch to pass the time. She was astute enough to feel it was not a celestial object as the speed was too slow. She was well aware of the time when she saw this and it tends to fit.
