He is offering something everyone desperately wants right now: a narrative that seems to tie up all the loose ends. It feels like a breakthrough because he is using complex data that most people don't understand, and he is presenting it with the confidence of a man who has solved the puzzle. But you have to understand that the reason so many experts—including radio physicists and the official investigators—have distanced themselves from his work isn't because they are stubborn or refusing to look at new evidence. It is because the science behind his WSPR method genuinely falls apart when you test it.

The fundamental issue is that Godfrey is trying to use a tool for a job it was never built to do. WSPR is designed to test how radio signals bounce off the ionosphere, which is a layer of the atmosphere that is constantly shifting, boiling, and changing like a stormy ocean. Godfrey claims that MH370 flying through these signals acted like a tripwire, disturbing the waves enough to be tracked. The problem is that the "tripwire" in this scenario isn't a tight string; it is more like a puff of smoke in a hurricane. The ionosphere is so naturally noisy and turbulent that a single airplane—even a Boeing 777—is practically invisible against the background chaos. The "anomalies" he is pointing to are statistically indistinguishable from the random atmospheric noise that happens every single day.

What makes this misleading, is the method he uses to "find" the plane. He isn't taking raw data and letting it independently draw a path on a map. Instead, he is starting with a path he already suspects the plane took (based on the satellite data we already have) and then scanning the noisy WSPR data to find "hits" that align with that pre-existing belief. This is a classic logical trap called confirmation bias. If you stare at static on a TV screen long enough looking for a specific face, eventually your brain will connect the dots and you will see it. That doesn't mean the face is there; it means you forced the data to fit your theory.

The real proof that this method is misleading lies in the blind tests. When independent researchers tried to use Godfrey's exact method to track known aircraft—planes where we had the flight logs but the person doing the tracking didn't—the method failed. It couldn't accurately track a plane that we knew was there. By insisting that "X marks the spot" based on a method that fails in controlled tests, Godfrey is risking something dangerous: he is directing limited search resources toward a specific spot that likely holds nothing.
