The information offered by the Royal Thai Air Force noted that 6 minutes after the Boeing 777 disappeared from their radar on March 8th, an unknown aircraft was detected heading in the opposite direction.

The Thai information was the "second radar evidence" according to the CNN report, that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 did turn around.

A Thai Air Force spokesman said, "The unknown aircraft's signal was sending out intermittently, on and off, and on and off," the signal was eventually lost.

While investigators are encouraged by the new evidence, they are still unsure where the plane is today, and whether or not it crashed.
