Richard Godfrey, Dr Hannes Coetzee, and Professor Simon Maskell hope to change that as they've come forward with new research released on Wednesday (31 August) in a 299-page report.
They claim their 'ground-breaking' amateur radio technology, or weak signal propagation reporter (WSPR) has led them to believe the wreckage of the doomed plane should be searched for 1560km west of Perth, Australia.
The researchers explained that when a plane flies through WSPR it disturbs the signal and that information is stored in an international database that they were able to access.
They found 125 of these blips in the amateur radio technology that enabled them to track the flight path of MH370 for six hours after it fell off the radar and stopped radio contact (at around 6pm).
This new information, when combined with satellite data from Boeing and Inmarsat and drift analysis data, leads the team to believe they've triangulated the crash site.
“This
technology has been developed over the past three years and the results represent credible new evidence," their report reads.
It continued: “Around 10 million commercial passengers fly every day and the safety of the airline industry relies on finding the cause of this and every other aircraft accident.”
And their guesses support existing evidence: “It aligns with analyses by Boeing (...) and drift analyses by University of Western Australia of debris recovered around the Indian Ocean.”
Air travel's greatest mystery could soon be solved
