Flight MH370: Remote islanders claim investigators 'ignored' key sightings of low-flying plane

Residents of a tiny island in the Indian Ocean believe they could hold the key to solving the mystery of the vanished Malaysian Airlines MH370 flight.

But islanders living on Kudahuvadhoo in the Maldives say their sightings of a low-flying passenger plane on the day of the flight's disappearance have been ignored by investigators.

Eye-witnesses on the island, which has a population of just 3,500, say they saw a plane with the same red and blue stripes as the doomed Boeing 777 flying at an unusually low height past the island on March 8 last year.

Their accounts differ from calculations developed by flight experts which place its likely crash zone on an arc around 1,800 kilometres south of Perth.
