The tragic disappearance of flight MH370 has given rise to an implausible variety of conspiracy theories from supernatural intervention to Illuminati influence.
The reason why a Malaysia Airlines flight with 239 people disappeared on Saturday remains as mysterious as when the plane first lost radar contact. While terrorism fears began to fade when it was revealed on Tuesday that one of the infamous stolen passports was in the hands of a 19-year-old Iranian asylum seeker with no terrorist links, search teams now have even fewer explanations for what could have happened.

Eerie cell phone rings could mean that passengers’ phones are still running or inhabited by ghosts. Relatives and friends of the plane’s passengers said they were able to locate their loved ones with a Chinese instant messaging service called QQ, reports the Washington Post. Others tried calling the missing passengers’ phones and heard ringing tones even though the calls were not picked up. Many thought the phones might still be active, and over 100 of them signed a petition to the Malaysian government to investigate urgently.

A portal to another world could have sucked up the flight. “If we don’t find the wreckage, it means there is some totally new, mysterious and powerful force at work on our planet that can pluck planes from the sky without leaving even a shred of evidence,” said one blogger.

The flight’s disappearance was predetermined and perhaps written into the very fabric of the universe. Reddit is plagued with commentators fixated on the numerical coincidences of the flight’s disappearance. “Interesting numerology,” said a Reddit user, RedditB. “Flight 370 disappears on 3/, while reportedly traveling 3,700 kilometers. Flight 370 flew at an altitude of 37,000 feet when it was last reported using flight tracking software. Luigi Maraldi, 37 years old, was one of the people whose passport was stolen. Malaysia Airlines is one of Asia’s largest, flying nearly 37,000 passengers daily. As of today, we are beginning month number 37 since the Fukushima tragedy, which is located at the 37th degree and initially caused 37 injuries at the plant.”

The North Koreans hijacked the plane. Others have argued the jet was hijacked by the North Koreans and moved to Pyongyang. A Reddit user, Nickryane, claims the plane had enough fuel to fly to North Korea and remain within cell phone range. The dictatorship hijacked a plane in 1969, so Kim Jong was pulling an old card from the deck.

The Illuminati did it. Some point to the alleged visit to vortex energy points on the earth’s surface by the Illuminati “and/or ancient aliens” who can control the energy grid. Commentators and bloggers emerged pointing to occultists and shadowy nefarious figures who helped bring down the plane.
While the absence of a distress signal has helped such conspiracy theories abound, the very real possibility that the jet exploded at high altitude and disintegrated cannot be ruled out. It is a terrifying prospect because it would mean no trace of the jet was found, and that the search for the plane is in vain.
