MH370 expert Richard Godfrey has published a new paper which reveals that Geoscience Australia MH370 data used in another paper by Capt. Patrick Blelly, Jean-Luc Marchand and an anonymous source called [email protected] is not from the Malaysian Military.
That paper falsely claims that the Malaysian military radar data has been released by Geoscience Australia.
Mr Godfrey said that the authors further falsely claim this data:
1. “radically changes our current knowledge of the trajectory travelled by MH370 between the IGARI waypoint and leaving radar coverage at 18:22 UTC.”
2. is “new, previously unknown digital radar data”.
3. “should be understood as an update of the document on civil radar data published in their previous paper.”
4. “To some extent, this report fulfils the promise made by the Malaysian Defense Minister during the press conference to publish the radar data”
5. “goes a step beyond all previous studies on the specific segment of the trajectory of the the MH370: the one that was captured by the radars from Kuala Lumpur until the exit from the radar coverage at 18:22 UTC (LSTRP).” The abbreviation LSTRP does not appear in the JSON file.
6. “It provides evidence for almost perfect knowledge of this segment of the trajectory.
The detailed report which can be read here concludes;
“To claim this “radically changes our current knowledge of the trajectory travelled by MH370”, is“new, previously unknown digital radar data” and “goes a step beyond all previous studies” is speculation.
“To claim that the source of these 500 data points is the Malaysian military has been shown to be false, as the source is clearly the civilian radar and ADS-B data, which has been known since 2015, with updates provided in 2018 and 2019.”
Mr Godfrey also makes these key findings:
Military radar data has a date-time stamp, the Geoscience data does not.
Military radar data is a chronological stream, the Geoscience data is not.
Military radar data has major gaps, the Geoscience data does not.
Military radar raw data does not contain repeats, the Geoscience data has 38 repeats.
Military radar raw data does not contain additions or fillers, the Geoscience data has been redacted.
Military radar data was shown to the NOK in 2014, the Geoscience data does not use this data.
Civilian radar data was released in 2015 and since updated, the Geoscience data matches.
Civilian radar and ADS-B data contains 4,808 rows, the Geoscience data is a subset of 500 rows.
The Geoscience data is for illustrative purposes only, for MH370 flight path graphics on their website.

GET: Accurate MH370 Information From AirlineRatings.com Newsletter
Airlineratings.com is packed with information about air travel and answers questions that many of us may have thought of, but didn’t know who to ask. Well, now you do!
Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world with a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.
Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information.
The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations as well as the airline’s own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.
Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating.
Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
