I vacillate between who I believe and who I think is lying for those reasons Folie! Cooper said "Pacific" and he might not be in on the big power play going on between Penny and her father, or the powers that be. AND Pacific makes more sense if you are flying from Sydney to LA. BUT Naomi (who said Bali) has that photo of Desmond and knew his name, and like you said, why would someone get the location of the wreckage SO TERRIBLY off course, if it wasn't true?

BTW - the island of Timor (East or West? I forget) which is right by Bali and Java was a former Portuguese colony - does anyone know anyone who can speak Portuguese?

Flaneuse - I think their stories on closer inspection don't match. Remember that Cooper said his son's plane crashed in the Pacific, but Naomi said they found the wreckage off of Bali, which is in the Timor Sea and is a part of the Indian Ocean.
