#3 Depends on weather the 'skeletons' were still 'runny' or not perhaps?

Or an error in translation.

#4 Lots of scavengers in the jungle. I'd expect the remains to be scattered about by the larger ones, but maybe it was just beetles and flies doing the cleaning.

#5 Seems plausible to me. Came down at night. Even if it caught fire would have burned out by dawn and if in a valley unlikely to be seen.

#6 Kinda short time for ALL passengers to become skeletons

It disappeared in March 2104. Nineteen months ago. A year and a half, plus a month.

Plenty of time for scavengers, bugs, and various and sundry jungle spores and molds to get at them.

Lessee if it turns out to be true, first.
