Plane wreckage containing 'many skeletons' and painted with the Malaysian flag has reportedly been found in the Philippines, prompting speculation it could be missing MH370.

Police confirmed they had received reports of the discovery in thick jungle on the remote island of Sugbai.

Also found 'Malaysian flag measuring 70 inches long and 35 inches wide'

Police reserved about report but have not ruled out link to Malaysian jet

But scene in relation to MH370 flap find in Indian Ocean makes it unlikely

1. This is really odd considering where this island is. I'm going to remain skeptical,

until someone reputable shows up and takes a picture

2. The Philippines? That's over 1500 miles away from the closest search area. Sounds sketchy

A naval task force which landed on the Philippines island reported later today that initial checks with villagers on the island had failed to confirm the report.

3. How could that be true in a universe where an MH370 flaperon was washed up in Reunion Island?

4. "My aunt found something" seems a sketchy basis

and in the first Malaysian report, it was his nephew, not aunt: http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/10/10/mh370-man-claims-found-part-of-wreckage-in-south-philippnes-island/

and a follow-up makes clear that, although this was claimed on a Philippines island, they reported on to the police in the Malaysian part of Borneo: http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/10/11/Philippines-Malaysian-flag/

and the Philippines police say no-one has reported anything to them.

5. Wait and see

Certainly worth investigating, but seems unlikely.

6. Actually, that was a successful flite for Malyasia Airlines

At least that one landed

7. Even the Manila Times isn't reporting this "Breaking News"

8. Globally, there are 85 commercial or military aircraft that have vanished since 1945.

And those are just the aircraft that were in public service or that the military has announced. There are hundreds of additional private aircraft and classified military and government flights that have vanished over the same time period across the planet. Most of them probably went down in water, or in remote sparsely populated corners of the Earth...kind of like this one.

While we're right to be skeptical about the plane being MH370, it's entirely possible that the islanders have stumbled across the wreckage of some other missing plane.

9. WW II american bomber?

Malaysian flag looks like an american flag

10. The whole thing stinks of a cover-up

But if you mention it, you are a CT nutcase.
