Thailand Radar Detected Plane

Thailand's military said on Tuesday that its radar may have detected a plane that could have been Malaysian Airlines flight 370. The radar reportedly picked up an 'unknown aircraft', minutes after flight MH370 last transmitted its location.

The aircraft was reportedly detected at 12:28am local time (1:28 am Malaysian time), only six minutes after the MH370 reportedly last transmitted the signal. The plane then moved south west, back towards its origin in the Malaysian capital Kaula Lumpur, reports suggest.

The aircraft was later picked up again by Thai radar, swinging north and disappearing over the Andaman Sea. However, the Thai military is not certain if the plane was MH370.

Thailand has been criticized for not sharing the information earlier but officials there have said that they were not specifically asked for it before. Thailand's failure to quickly share the update has raised questions about the degree to which some countries are sharing their defence information.
