Their now saying that MH370 was seen flying over the Maldives on March 8th roughly 8 hours after it last made contact. It wasn't picked up by any radar but was supposedly seen by many locals flying very low. The theory of terrain masking; avoiding radar by positioning the aircraft low enough to the ground to allow the earth mask the airplane from radar waves; is now being circled about. The Maldives are due east of the African east coast and Somalia.
