A group of fishermen in North Sumatra provincial sub-district of Pangkalan Susu claims to have seen air plane crash around the Malacca Straits.
The locals suspect that what they saw could be the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The authorities have yet to verify the fishermen's claim.
At 11 am local time on Sunday, the fishermen saw a white plane crossing and circling.
Then, the ill-fated plane showed smoke coming from the right rear portion when it circled for a second round and tilted to the left.
A moment later, the plane, flying lower, fell from sight. "We suspect the plane crashed into the sea," he said.
"We could not go to the location where the aircraft was lost due to large waves, and the boat did not have enough fuel," the fisherman said.
The location of the aircraft is believed to be in Idi waters, in Aceh provincial district of East Aceh. However, the information has yet to be verified by Indonesian authorities.
The group of fishermen is the latest to come forward claiming sightings of an aircraft at a time that MH370 was assumed to have changed course and turn back, crossing the waters between Malaysia, Thailand and presumably towards the Indian Ocean.
The Malaysian Airlines jet went missing 1:30am on Sunday, March 9. It is not yet known what has happened to the 239 passengers and crew on board.
