The Footage
Two leaked videos form the evidentiary backbone of Ashton Forbes' MH370 investigation. Both allegedly originate from military surveillance systems: one from a satellite platform consistent with Gorgon Stare wide-area persistent surveillance, the other from what appears to be a thermal imaging sensor aboard an MQ-9 Reaper drone.
Each captures the same sequence from a different angle -- three luminous objects in coordinated formation around a Boeing 777, culminating in a terminal event where the aircraft and objects vanish simultaneously.
Forbes' central argument for authenticity rests on synchronization. The orbs' rotational positions, the aircraft's attitude, and the thermal signatures align across both feeds in a way he argues would be extraordinarily difficult to fabricate. The three-dimensional consistency between two independent two-dimensional projections (he contends) requires either genuine multi-sensor capture or an unprecedented level of visual effects coordination that no identified party had motive or capacity to produce.
Additional corroboration comes from Katherine "Kate" Tee, a sailor aboard a yacht in the Strait of Malacca on the night of the disappearance. Tee reported seeing a low-flying aircraft with black smoke emissions, a description recorded before the footage surfaced publicly.
Forbes argues the smoke visible in the thermal imagery, emanating from the aircraft's auxiliary exhaust at low altitude, matches Tee's independent observation. The temporal sequence is critical: the witness account predates the video, making retroactive fabrication to match the testimony logically impossible.
Debunkers (most prominently the YouTube channel Corridor Crew, a VFX commentary outfit) claimed to have disproven the footage. Forbes accuses them of producing a "fraudulent" analysis: no forensic metadata examination, no frame-by-frame synchronization study, no consultation with imaging equipment manufacturers.
Instead, Forbes alleges, they recycled arguments from Reddit threads that the investigating community had already examined and discarded. The gap between the dismissal's confidence and its evidentiary basis, Forbes argues, reveals more about narrative management than about the footage itself.

The Two Videos
Originally published by RegicideAnon on YouTube in 2014. These are the unaltered source videos that form the evidentiary foundation of the investigation.
Satellite Video: Airliner and UFOs
Wide-area persistent surveillance footage consistent with a Gorgon Stare-type satellite platform. Shows a Boeing 777 with three luminous objects in coordinated triangular formation. Culminates in a terminal event where the aircraft and objects vanish simultaneously within a visible distortion field.
UAV Captures: Airliner and UFOs
Thermal imaging footage from what appears to be an MQ-9 Reaper drone platform. Captures the same sequence from a different angle: three objects orbiting the aircraft in coordinated formation. The thermal signatures and rotational positions correlate with the satellite video, providing multi-sensor corroboration.
The Case for Authenticity
Unlike the debunkers' surface-level dismissals, Forbes and the investigating community conducted detailed forensic analysis of both videos. Below is a summary of the specific technical evidence cited in support of authenticity, drawn from Forbes' video analyses and the broader investigation.
Multi-sensor corroboration: the satellite and thermal feeds show synchronized orb positions from independent viewing angles
MISB 0601 Compliance
The satellite video's coordinate overlay refreshes at exactly 1Hz (once per second), a common implementation rate for MISB ST 0601, a KLV metadata encoding standard published by the NGA's Motion Imagery Standards Board for military and NATO surveillance systems. The standard defines 100+ metadata tags for UAS platforms and is embedded in MPEG-2 Transport Streams. 1Hz refresh is a bandwidth-constrained design choice typical of fielded UAS systems like MQ-1/MQ-9. Forbes identifies this as "peer-reviewable forensic proof" that the video originates from military exploitation software.
Multi-Layer Frame Rates
The satellite video contains three distinct frame rates operating simultaneously: the background imagery at 6fps (consistent with WAMTI/Gorgon Stare systems, which operate at 2-10fps), the viewing window at 24fps, and a mouse cursor also at 24fps, consistent with a Citrix remote desktop screen recording of military exploitation software. This multi-layer structure would be extremely unusual in fabrication.
Stereoscopic 3D Format
The satellite footage can be converted to stereoscopic 3D (viewable with red/blue anaglyph glasses), consistent with WAMTI satellite technology that composites multiple sensor angles into 3D mosaics. Forbes reports that Larry Youngner, Edward C. Lin's former defense attorney, confirmed stereoscopic 3D satellite video evidence was entered by federal prosecutors during Lin's espionage trial.
Coordinate Verification
The coordinates embedded in the satellite video (~8.834°N, 93.473°E) point to the Nicobar Islands, a direct westward trajectory from MH370's last confirmed military radar contact near Pulau Perak. Forbes calls this "the absolute smoking gun": the coordinates place the aircraft on a heading consistent with the military radar track, approximately 20 minutes after the last radar return.
Cloud & Weather Correlation
The videos show cumulus clouds, which form between 1,000–5,000 ft altitude. Forbes reports that weather satellite data for the Nicobar Islands region was checked and found "consistent with the cumulus clouds within one hour of the event." The aircraft's low altitude indicated by the cloud type is consistent with Katherine Tee's witness observation. The terminal event accurately illuminates these clouds in three dimensions.
Dual-Video Synchronization
The satellite and thermal videos show the orbs in "perfect synchronization": the rotational positions of all three orbs match across both independent perspectives. Reconstructing consistent 3D motion from two different 2D viewpoints requires either genuine multi-sensor capture or fabrication with access to a shared 3D model, which Forbes argues no identified party had motive or capability to produce.
Authentic Camera Behavior
The thermal video exhibits camera shake when the operator zooms in, real input delay from the camera operator's controls, and a cursor that enters the frame from off-screen, consistent with a screen recording of a live remote session rather than a composited VFX sequence. The satellite video similarly shows a mouse cursor operating independently of the background imagery.
Boeing 777 Thermal Profile
Forbes describes the thermal drone camera as having "similar capabilities to a Wescam MX-20" infrared sensor. The thermal image produces a "literal perfect overlay" onto the planform of a Boeing 777-200ER (9M-MRO: wingspan 60.93m, length 63.73m, Rolls-Royce Trent 892 nacelles). Smoke displaced by the orbs shows "accurate fluid dynamics," and there is no directional lighting or shadows, consistent with night-time conditions on March 8, 2014.
Metadata & EXIF Analysis
The metadata embedded in the files references "Flight 370" and "Malaysia Airlines." EXIF data from associated imagery points to coordinates near Diego Garcia military base. Forbes notes that while debunkers argue metadata can be faked, the metadata is consistent with other evidence and was present before the investigation focused on these specific details.
The Edward C. Lin Connection
Forbes identifies Lt. Commander Edward Chieh-Liang Lin as the likely source of the leaked footage. Lin served with VPU-2 (Special Projects Patrol Squadron Two), an elite Navy reconnaissance unit in Hawaii. He was arrested in 2016 and convicted by general court-martial at Naval Station Norfolk in May 2017, pleading guilty to two counts of attempted espionage and three counts of communicating national defense information to contacts in China and Taiwan. He received six years' confinement and a dishonorable discharge. The case was widely reported by Navy Times, Stars & Stripes, and Reuters.
Forbes argues key evidence links Lin to the footage leak: flight manifests left in his flight suit included search-and-rescue code names from a relevant deployment. His signals intelligence background aligns with access to advanced ISR systems. Forbes reports that Larry Youngner, described as Lin's former defense attorney, confirmed stereoscopic 3D satellite video was entered as evidence by federal prosecutors, connecting the classified footage format directly to Lin's prosecution. Note: the Youngner confirmation is sourced from Forbes' investigation; much of the trial was conducted in closed sessions due to classified evidence.
Forbes argues the video cropping pattern suggests Lin was showing the footage privately to a specific person, likely someone who recognized the missing airliner and posted the videos online believing they showed an unexplained phenomenon, not realizing the classified nature of the source material.
Katherine "Kate" Tee: Eyewitness
Katherine Tee, a British sailor aboard yacht SY Anahita (with husband Marc Horn, sailing Cochin to Phuket), reported seeing a low-flying aircraft with black smoke emissions on the night of March 7-8, 2014. She was on solo night watch in the Andaman Sea region. Her account was first posted to Cruisers Forum (cruisersforum.com) around mid-to-late May 2014, and subsequently covered by Reuters (June 2014), The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, and other international outlets. Forbes' analysis of the thermal video identified smoke trails from auxiliary exhaust ports visible only at extreme low altitude, matching Tee's independent observation. The temporal sequence: witness observation March 8; videos uploaded May-June 2014; detailed forensic analysis 2023-2024. Tee's account can't derive from footage she never viewed.
Independent sources: Tee's testimony was reported by Reuters, The Telegraph, and The Daily Mail in June 2014, all before any forensic analysis of the footage. Her location in the Andaman Sea is broadly consistent with the military radar track documented in the Malaysian Safety Investigation Report (July 2018). The yacht's GPS log provides independent positioning data.
