something to do with 'estimated numbers' on the basis of military secrecy? also, if this really did come from a plane, which i highly doubt, the cockpit recorders would lay that out very quickly.

I don't really think it had to be at 10k meters for very long, or was that much.. they just needed to make it seem like they were escorting in the general vicinity to make the plane look like a military target
