If you read the comment thread, lots of people throw doubt on the doubter's story especially around the VHF band.

What's sort of weird is the ATC says they were a controller in the 90's. Could things have changed between the when the story happened and this person was an ATC Controller?

"Speed Classified" might have been different in the early days of the 71's program. Same with the flight ceilings.

To me, the only thing that hasn't been refuted yet is the speed measurement. Specifically the part where it's a multiple of 1842 (or 1942 as was told in the story).
