PENANG, Malaysia – Symbolizing a recent unrest in the village south of Ipoh, the local natives have claimed to see an aircraft going down and plunging into the sea after being hit by a missile, at around 4:25 pm. As the local eyewitnesses describe, a single tailed aircraft was seen pursued by another twin tailed aircraft. The single tailed aircraft wasn’t making any hard maneuvers but the second aircraft was constantly trying to keep up with the first one, on certain occassions, it did fly close enough. After a few minutes, the first one took a sharp turn and headed north, when finally the second aircraft pulled back and launched a missile, which gave a direct hit and set the first aircraft’s engine ablaze. Then it seemed to lose control and head for the sea for a direct plunge. By the grace of God local citizens aren’t hurt. But what is amazing is that some of the local eyewitnesses claim that the twin tailed aircraft was the RMAF MiG-29 armed with four R-73 AAMs, and the aircraft that was shot was an Indonesian F-16 Fighter, since it came from that direction. But the government officials are more tight lipped on the topic. One of the RMAF spokesperson has told our correspondent that the fact an aircraft was shot was though true, but it was certainly not an Indonesian F-16. What the government official add in is that it was an UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) drone undergoing tests. The UAV went out of control and since it was headed for the more populated area of Imoh, it was shot down by a MiG-29. Further details still remain classified
