but for the airplane to go to eastern iran or pakistan it would have to transit indian air space.have to do it attitude. because if the airplane did it at -- a lower altitude to try to avoid radar it would not have the fuel to do it. so it would have to do it at an altitude in the 30 or 35 -- to 39,000 foot range. and i would be very surprised if the indian air defense radars wouldn't have picked it up. >> even in the dark of night, which happened around 5:00 a.m. their time? >> well, as i say, i suspect it -- that the indian air defense radar is probably around 24 hours a day. and i would be very surprised if you could get across the indian sub-continent with an airplane the size of a triple 7, even on skin paint. >> they say because the transponder had been turned off then. robert, there are some theories that the plane managed to do it by flying sort of behind another airplane that looked legitimate and sort of hid. do you believe that is possible? >> oh, i think it is possible. i mean, if you turn off the transponder so that no one can see the data return from the airplane and

i would look at all airfields 7,500 feet in length in pakistan and eastern iran. by saturday, malaysia declares this is a criminal matter. >> this movement are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane. >> in a bomb shell development, it emerged that the plane was detected by satellites through 8:11 a.m. the day it disappeared nearly eight hours after take off and seven hours after air traffic control last site of the aircraft. still no answers where it was going on why. the search has expanded to a danting area including the northern and southern track in the indian ocean. sunday, march 16, authorities claim the communication system, known as acars was disabled before the pilots last words to air traffic control leading to questions about why the crew did not raise this issue. the timing of the acar shut down would later be called in a shut down. that same day malaysia's government reveals the captain's personal fliekt simulaght simul being examined. we learn the co-pilot uttered the final words the flight. all right, goodnight. the number of coun

course of action now, megyn, is that the airplane went north and it went into either pakistan or eastern iran. i don't -- cannot confirm that, but all the data i have, this again, a course of action. >> fox news military analyst lieutenant general tom mcinerney. that was an explosive moment with megyn kelly. are you standing by the idea the plane could be in pakistan? >> yes, i am, governor. >> and when you think about the idea of pakistan, what gives you reason to think that it could be there? >> well, first of all, you've got to accept that the airplane was hijacked. i believe the airplane was hijacked by the air crew, the pilot and copilot. i believe they just didn't do it to fly seven hours down into the south indian ocean and crash it. it's against their religion, unless they are shahids or martyrs. we haven't heard anything like that. the fact is out of the 45,000 terrorist events since 1998, only 14% have been claimed. so i believe another shoe will fall. i believe pakistan or elements in pakistan, the isi, taliban, al qaeda, are involved in a second shoe. i don't know what that second

i'd like in eastern iran. but something very nefarious has happened. a u.s. aircraft airier, put a nuclear weapon a prototype on it. it is real. the united states. i do believe that there are terrorist connections involved with it. no one is just going to steal an airplane. you can buy them. >> he's exactly right. it's interesting. over the last hour or so, i've been looking on-line. there are a lot of theories about what possibly could have happened. and to the general's point, there are a number of people who think that there is a real good possibility that the plane had landed -- has landed in vietnam and it's going to be used later as some sort of 9-11 weapon to the general's point. >> we hear this. it is incredibly disheartening to envision the size of this vehicle, 600,000 plus pounds that could be packed with weaponry, essentially a massive bullet that could be aimed anywhere on this globe. >> so many questions. there are a number of the passengers on board this plane were chinese. the chinese are trying to get information from the malaysians wh

and i still think it landed, and my primary choice is because of the range, it's pakistan or eastern iran or it could be some other place where radical islamist elements are located. >> i know that you have information that is considered, you know, one of high security. national security. but at the same time, who is giving you the feeling that this plane could be in those parts of the world? >> well, certain conversations with people. i do believe the u.s. government knows a lot more and that they, the best leaks have come out of the u.s. government talking about the transponder and the data collection sensor being turned off, et cetera. and we also got the pings from the u.s. government leaks there. so the u.s. government, i think, is further ahead of this but trying to let the malaysian government catch up. but i'm convinced that there's a great deal of jeopardy for worldwide aviation if we don't solve this very quickly. >> and the stakes remain high, as you point out. but if this is truly what you say it is, then as you point out, governments have to really be on high alert right now

pakistan, runways large enough over 7500 feet, and that have a large hangar, and i would look in eastern iran something very nefarious has happened. >> senior u.s. officials are now saying there's a high likelihood that this plane, flight 370, crashed in the indian ocean, but do they know that for a fact? no, take a look at the flight plan, as we have seen it now for a week. this is where the plane took off from kuala lumpur, the last known position was right there, and it's believed to have taken a turn. now the military is believed to be searching in this area, but it's a huge search zone. 2530 miles. that's actually six times the size of the united states of america. six times the u.s. is the search zone they are now looking in. but the u.s. military is saying that they believe that the indian ocean, and two specific spots, may be the spots where the plane actually went down. we know that the plane was flying for four to five hours, according to officials. and that the pings from the equipment onboard was still happening after it lost radar track. so let's bring in our panel. steve hayes,

my course of action, number one, it was hijacked, number two, but ought to look at pakistan and eastern iran was a course of action that wasn't arbitrary. now it's interesting that we're starting to get other sources to verify it. >> a theory that can explain why and how this plane went down, it is called the zombie plane scenario. >> in the past, governments have used psychics to help with searches. can they use a psychic here? >> i believe it actually crashed and i see a lot of trees. >> has this become an embarrassment? joining us now, lauren ashburn, rick grenell, and julie mason. i don't know whether to ask you about the zombie plain, her raldo's secret passenger or the psyching on hln. >> the psyching also said she thought there could be a hijacking or a larger organization involved. she left all options oep open on the table. >> and she sees trees. >> she does. let's not forget about the 239 people on that flight. that part of the story is very serious. it should be covered. how far, all the rest of this mess should be knocked off of all of the stations. cable news is the worst offend

in pakistan, runways large enough over 7500 feet and to have large hangar and i would like in eastern iranvery nefarious has happened. >> now, a respected military leader says the thing was hijacked and their is a middle east connection, then what? then we should be very worried. we should stress this is no way to confirm or even countenance that kind of speculation. we don't know. but in this void of no clear answers, that comes up and it's increasingly come up. if there is a connection like that, would do you mak of that? >> it appears whoever is responsible for this -- i agree with the experts, this was a nefarious act -- whether we want call it sabotage, hijacking, terrorism, whomever got into the cockpit new exactly what they were doing and whether they were loan -- lone wolves. >> that's assuming someone got into the cockpit. >> a lot of this is assuming. we want to go with right now this is probably not something technical that took place because of the communications we had, because of the communication not all being cut off at the same time, and if it really connects all the dots,

a course of action now, megan, is that the air went north and it went into either pakistan or eastern irant was something fully that we don't really understand. a lot of people have been asking about that, about black holes. >> this is a theory that could explain why and how this plane went down. it is called the zombie plane scenario. >> my favorite theory, the 5% theory is because of some secret passenger or some secret cargo, the aircraft was hijacked and landed someplace. >> joining me now to talk through the credibility of some of these theories is former commercial pilot and security expert anthony roman. there are some mysterious theories out there. let's start with the pilots and whether or not they could have played a roll. what are the indications that you've seen that is a plausible theory? >> well, we know from the facts that the aircraft made a standard great left-hand turn after "okay, good night," that it followed standard navigation way points. so this is a man-made event as best as the facts point to right now. being a man-made event, there are three people who could have

action that i gave you last friday, that number one, it was hijacked and number tw at pakistan and eastern iran we're starting to get other sources to verify it, which i think is important. we're not sure yet. i don't want to go down that rat trail yet, but i do think that boeing and rolls royce and the u.s. government know an awful lot what's going on. the best sensors we have in the defense department are where? they're in the middle east. they're not in the south indian ocean, as some are speculating. the fact is that i think we're going to see in the next 24 to 48 hours that the malaysian government may break -- the pakinstani government isn't saying anything. why should they? 'cause it means they're complicit. >> let me ask you this, general. if it's parked in pakistan, what are they going to do with it? >> that's very interesting. brennan said that we could not rule out a terrorist act. i still believe there is a hypotension for a terrorist act. but do not know. >> sure. do you buy into the suggestions that perhaps, for instance, one of the theories is that it flew next to or under a sing

runways large enough over 7500 feet and large hanger and look in eastern iran. fill it up with explosives, attack u.s.a. aircraft carrier. put a nuclear weapon, a prototype on it, hit israel, the united states, do i believe that there are terrorist connections involved with it. >> what do you make of that? >> well, while it may seem farfetched, i think the general is positing something that we need to consider what could this aircraft have been used for if it were able to land safely somewhere and taken once the passengers removed. to move the kind of things around to get to remote location that really have a slim possibility. again, nothing should be dismissed at this point. we really need to look at everything possible. but the search by the same token must continue in the indian ocean to hopefully find that debris. >> if it did land somewhere. what do you think that means for all the passengers and the crew that was on board? does that mean that they could potentially still be alive as well? we may see hostage situations? things like that coming out? >> absol

if russia moves forces into eastern ukraine, then the white house has suggested that they would go after sort of irananking sanctions. if -- >> so there's another red line. the red line is moved back to eastern ukraine now. we're going to give up crimea. putin's going to have that. but if he does anything more then we might do -- >> it's kind of like an if then. if russia does this then we'll do that. he could also sanction russian individuals and businesses. >> i've got to ask you something. a new fox news poll came out. president obama's job approval, lowest rated since he's been in office, 38%. foreign policy is down the drain. do you really feel that the obama administration's falling apart here? it seems that way. >> they're under tremendous pressure on so many fronts. there haven't been this many sort of global hot spots plaguing the president simultaneously in a long time. the only thing that's being talked about right now in a government that's in debt $17 trillion is loan guarantees to ukraine for a billion. that will be on the house floor tomorrow, bill. >> but what good does that do in it

. >> i'm in north western iran, in the site of what once was the middle eastern greatest lake.lace where an environmental disaster is unfolding. >> it is two weeks since malaysia airlines flight disappeared. there's no trace of the aircraft, or the 239 people on board. search teams have been focussing on the southern indian ocean over the past two days, after australia picked up satellite images of two objects. six australian aircrafts are combing over the water off perth, including two commercial jets and two p3 orrions, two chinese planes will arriving and two more japanese jets will join the search on sunday. malaysia asked to borrow solar equipment from the u.s. to help in the search. andrew thomas has the latest from perth. >> it's two weeks to the day since flight mh370 disappeared en route from kuala lumpur to beijing. who would have thought it would be here, in perth, south-west australia, where all eyes would be on a search effort. australia deputy prime minister was at the base and asked repeatedly if there were more satellite images that the australian government was

eastern. without the russians putting the sanctions on iran, we would not be at the negotiating table. i think you have to keep these things in mind. your other guests would know this. the soviets cracked down on hungary and poland when they tried to assert their independence. then president eisenhower invited her granddaughter over. why? because we needed to deal with them. yes, we can penalize putin. i think you're right to make it difficult for the russians to get access to the world banking system. those would all be important things. in the final analysis, you have to deal with them because russia is not as powerful as it once was, but it's still a significant actor in the world stage. >> so nina, i want to talk to you about something you've written about, which is this idea that putin is sort of pursuing an outdated image of greatness. secretary of state john kerry said that in a slightly different way this morning. let's take a listen. >> it's really 19th century behavior in the 21st century. it's a 19th century act in the 21st century. you just don't in the 21st century behave

iran and nuclear disarmament. but things will worsen in the middle eastern allies already on the record having grave reservations about our ability to stand behind them with the rise of the al qaeda and the influence of vibration. this will give credence to that. the iranians will be encouraged to move to the nuclear weapon and that this administration has no stomach to deal with military force. giving that the chinese are watching it is not surprising if they would hop on the island in the western pacific that belongs to another nation or japan to claim it as their own and tear anybody to do something about it. lou: general thank you for being with the. >> always great to talk with you. lou: vote with their online poll. food you fear most? president obama, the vladimir putin or federal resumed chair -- federal reserve chairman janet yellen? an inspiring story of a chicago where a high school basketball player hit a game-winning three-pointer right after an amazing yvette. after declared done for the season when he was shot in the lake nine days ago and begs his coach to put him in. guess what? he was the hero. we wil

eastern ukraine. >> the issue about the russian banks specifically, i think we've seen with the experience of sanctions on iranat when iranian banks were sanctioned, when they could not function in the international economy any more, and iranian banking became a single nation experience, that cratered the iranian economy more than anything else that had been done with them on sanctions and it happened very fast and there was unrest in iran because of this, it was an incredibly effective pressure point. what do you think president obama would have to be to be able to rally the world to do that, it can't be a unilateral decision, it has to be a national decision, it took a long time to get people around to the idea that that should happen for iran, is this diplomatically in the realm of the possible? >> i think it is, in part because there is a real sense of nervousness along the eastern edge of nato today. five years ago, it was preposterous to think russia would move on ukraine. five years from now, who knows where his sights will be. why it ultimately will work, what putin is worried about is the kind of unre

eastern europe. >> that would make them move out of crimea right there. >> the problem is, bob, this president came out and said we didn't need a missile defense agreement because the purpose for them was for iran, who president obama said was not a threat. he could come out and say missile defense in eastern europe, much like president reagan did when he put immediate nuke range missiles to counter the russians. however, he has not done there. and there is a crisis at the white house that he has to deal with. they lost a pastry chef, so this is really important, and he will get to russia when he has more time and he figures out what's going on with the croissants. >> i also think it's remarkable how president obama is the commander in chief, the leader of the free world. the president of the united states is the one who sets the foreign policy of the united states. if there are people who are offering other suggestions like steve hadley and david wilson, condi rice, just off the top of my head, things i have read in the past week, he could take those, but he doesn't have to do anything with them. it shouldn't be the opposition's responsibility to come up with a foreign policy for him. the pres

iran, and the situation in the middle east. the nonprofit institute for and middle eastern policy hosted the event.s just under one hour. [applause] >> let's consider the question of what is an ally. at a minimum, i'd say it involves certain coincidence or congruence of events between two countries. but more than that it implies that the relationship itself has positive value in that one country is willing to do certain things that they would not otherwise because the alliance exists and the other country would like it to do that with the implied quid pro quo that the other country would do some things it would not otherwise do in favor of the interests of the first state. mutual assistance, backscratching and if you look at the u.s. israeli relationship , there are some common interest with regard to our domestic, political structure. liberal democracy, in general, purdue rails that prevails. we do have some shared concerns with our israeli friends. the coincidence does run into roadblocks. as far as having common adversaries is concerned, i think i would say that although we certainly share a lot
