KOTA BARU, March 12 — Kelantan police handed over four reports to the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) yesterday to assist in the search for Flight MH370.
Kelantan police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman said the first police report was made at 7.45pm on Sunday by a fisherman who claimed to have seen an aircraft flying unusually low at 1.30am while he was at sea.
“The second report was lodged at 2.54pm on Monday by a man in Chabang Empat, Tumpat,” he said.
“He was planting chili at 2am when he saw a plane flying low, at an altitude of about 300ft, and claimed he saw the symbol of a wau (kite) on the aircraft.”
The third report was lodged at 4.15pm by a neighbourhood watch member, who saw a plane flying low and what appeared to be sparks coming from it.
The fourth report was made at 5pm by a Jabatan Agama Islam employee who was in Kampung Pasir Kasar Sering, Kota Baru, and saw an aircraft heading towards the sea at 1.45am.
“Based on our investigations, all the reports indicated a bearing of 350 degrees north towards the sea,” Jalaluddin said.
“We had also taken a statement from a bus driver who saw a plane at 3.45am, also heading in the same direction, while he was at Setiu in Terengganu.”
Jalauiddin handed the reports and a statement to Kelantan DCA Suhaidi Yusuf.
