Those suppositions and assumptions are based on the fact that the airspace
in question (Europe, Eastern Europe, and Eastern Russia) was monitored by
some of the most sophisticated radar facilities in the world - radar
facilities belonging to the United States, NATO, and the Soviet Union. To
avoid mistakes, communications between those three were commonplace whenever
an unexplained incident occurred. To do what you say, this person would have
had to avoid detection by all three, which I believe was absolutely
impossible. Instead, like many military situations of the time, I suspect a
lot happened behind the scenes that was never, and may never be, made known
to the general public. Of course, that's just what I believe. You're free to
believe what you want.
