What happened to Malaysian Airlines 370?

The disappearance of Malaysian Airlines 370 has been one of the biggest aviation mysteries to date.

Not a single verifiable clue has been left to pin point its current location. The Malaysian authorities have made matters worse by releasing contradictory information which has left the search and rescue teams no closer to their goal of finding where the plane is at.

The internet has been rife with all kinds of conspiracy and crazy theories about the plane. Let us look at some of these theories because sometimes the facts are stranger than fiction!

Please take all of these with a grain of salt.

1. The plane was hijacked and diverted elsewhere.

The two pilots of the plane have been under scrutiny now. The main pilot was an aviation buff and also built his own flight simulator at home. But he was described as a man of duty and integrity by his friends and peers. The co pilot did raise some eye brows when an Australian lady said that this pilot had invited her and her friends into the cockpit on an earlier flight. We also know that in the past, pilots have been known to crash their plane intentionally.

Then there is also the mystery of the stolen passports. Two Iranian men were in possession of these passports but they did not seem to have any links with terror organizations. 

If the plane was indeed diverted by either the pilots or some passengers, why was it done?

a. The plane was crashed into the water.

The pilots could have crashed the plane into the Indian ocean or the hijackers must have done it. Also a scuffle inside the cockpit could have led to the plane losing control and plunging into the deep Indian ocean. 

b. A 9/11 styled attack went bad.

Based on the last know trajectory, the plane could have either headed towards India or some other country. What if the plane was meant to hit some building or target in a 9/11 style attack. But due to either an accident or scuffle, perhaps the plane crashed into the ocean.

c. The plane landed in a remote island and will be used for a future attack?

TV shows like "Lost" and "Arrow" are based on remote islands where survivors live for years together without anybody rescuing them. Could the plane have been captured by a terror gang or a rich warlord. 

A remote island in the Indian Ocean could have been used to build a quick runway for the plane. They could also have built camouflaged hangars to keep the plane hidden. Perhaps for a future attack or some nefarious purpose. 

Who could have done this? Terror Groups, Rogue governments like North Korea etc.

2.  The plane went into another dimension/ abducted by aliens

Lot of conspiracy theorists believe that sometimes there could be portals that lead to other dimensions or planes of existence. Could such portals or wormholes exist? Perhaps it was a coincidence that one portal opened up when the plane was passing over that area.

Further more, was such a portal created by a top secret military experiment by countries such as USA or China? 

Or what if Aliens had something to do with this? A huge Boeing 777 has gone missing without a trace. Who else could pull this feat off if not for highly intelligent extra terrestrials?

3. The plane was involved in an experiment to test cloaking. 

If you have watched "Star Wars", you know what I am talking about. A"cloaking device" renders a spacecraft invisible. This is also depicted in the movie "The Avengers". An Austin based company called "Freescale Semiconductor" had about 20 employees on this plane. Some conspiracy theorists are already taking about some kind of radar evading technology that could have been used here.  

4. Supernatural?

Many relatives have mentioned that they could call their loved one's cellphones and heard them ringing. Some even mentioned that the passengers were online on Chinese chat messengers. Did something out of the paranormal capture this aircraft?

These are some of the theories. As of today (16th March 2014), we still have no real clue as to what happened to flight MH370. Remember we are dealing with the potential loss of 240 lives on this aircraft. Their families and loved ones are current going through hell as there has not been any closure of any kind. 

These theories apart, I wish and pray that we hear some good news about the plane. After all miracles do happen. 

Mysteries surrounding Michael Jackson's death

Micheal Jackson was an enigma when he was alive. Whacko, wierd, crazy, eccentric were some of the adjectives used to describe him. And even in death, this has not changed.

From the autopsy report which called him bald and without a proper nose to the number of theories that seem to have cropped up now. Lets examine some of these theories here.


1. Michael was an alien and he has gone back now:

The seeds for this theory were planted in the 90's when MJ said that he wanted to buy land to build of all things....an alien space port or airport as he called it. To top it off, he apparently referred to himself as an alien many times. And his behavior didnt help make things any better.


2. UFO's spotted over Neverland ranch..did aliens kidnap him or come to collect his body?

Ok So he was human and aliens kidnapped him and took him away. He is still in their craft which is now hovering for a few days to see the reaction to his "death" and then he will taken away to their planet millions of light years away.
Or maybe he died, and the aliens came to collect his body as he was a one of a kind human specimen.
I mean if you are an alien and want to study a strange human specimen, then can it get better than Michaeal's body. A million plastic surgeries, a billion injection pricks, color changing operations, a fake nose. You name it and he's got it.

And its a fact about the UFO's and strange lights. Many have been sighted by various witnesses near Neverland ranch.


3. He faked his own death and disappeared:

Face it....Millions of dollars in debts and unpaid bills, 50 concerts planned out of which he could not even perform one at his present physical condition. So what can he do? Plan an elaborate hoax...fake his death and disappear...maybe to Bahrain or the middle east where reclusive and rich mullahs and sheikhs would love to shelter him. Whacko Jacko was a muslim after all. So if you are in Bahrain or the middle east and you run into a burkha clad lady who seems wierd, it may be Michaeal Jackson after all.


4. His remains will be frozen cryogenically and he will be back in 2200?

Remember those reports that Michael Jackson sleept in a hyperbaric chamber to preserve his youth. Could such a man take it one step ahead and actually plan to be frozen when dead and "thawed" a few hundred years later when science is capable to bring him back to life?

P.S: No disrespect to the great entertainer. May his soul rest in peace. But this was an attempt for a light hearted take on his death and the mysteries surrounding it and a departure from the last few serious posts.

Mysterious disappearance of an Indian nuclear scientist

This is like straight out of an X-Files episode.

An Indian nuclear scientist named Mahalingam has gone missing from near his workplace which is a nuclear power station in southern India. As per sources, the scientist had gone out for a morning jog and didn't turn up. There are no clues or indication as to his whereabouts. He didn't even have his wallet on him. The country's premier security agencies like the IB,RAW and CBI are now conducting a thorough search for him. Where could he have gone and what has happened to him?

Here are a few explanations for his disappearance:

1. Abducted by the CIA: He must have been abducted by the CIA or Mossad in order to gauge India's nuclear capabilities. The nuclear plant was one of India's most modern and sophisticated.
Was it also being used for the development of weapons grade uranium or Plutonium?

2. Abducted by an enemy country: Here the chief suspects would be Pakistan and China, both of whom have enough reason to fear India's growing nuclear capabilities.

3. Murdered in a family dispute: The behavior of his family was very strange after his disapperance. They apparently didnt show enough signs of sadness or anxiousness as the family of a missing person would usually be expected to display. If so, where is the body?

4. Suicide: Why? And again, where is the body?

5. Gave out secrets to a foreign power and has been granted asylum: If this is the case, then its not the first time this is happening. Many Indian scientists in the past have suddenly left the country and have taken Indian secrets with them to foreign nations. Then the behavior of his family also seems consistent. Maybe even they are planning to leave soon.
As the coast was close to the location of the nuclear power station, it would be easy to leave the country by sea.

6. Abducted by aliens: Strange and outlandish, but could be true. Maybe aliens are planning to prevent humans from continuing to use nuclear power. Maybe this was the beginning of a long spate of kidnappings across the world.

While these are only theories, I still wish he returns safe and sound to his family and loved ones.
