MH370: UFO abduction theory discredited by the experts
Almost a decade has passed since the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Despite several hypotheses, experts are still striving to uncover the truth behind the vanished flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. A speculative theory suggesting that the passengers were kidnapped by a UFO has surfaced on social media, but experts debunk this idea.

A supposed piece of evidence for this theory is a recording that has been circulating on the internet for several months. This footage showcases a shape akin to a plane enveloped by flying orbs. Conspiracy theorists and believers in extraterrestrial civilizations argue that this is evidence of MH370 being abducted by a UFO.
The first footage allegedly demonstrating a "UFO attack" surfaced on the internet in August 2023. This was followed by numerous similar videos appearing on platforms like Reddit and Twitter.
Quick to react, experts have dismissed this "historical conspiracy theory." They stress that the materials released on social media likely bear no relevance to the MH370 case. Furthermore, they are convinced that these video materials were orchestrated by computer graphic artists.
Why do experts believe the recording was fabricated?
American experts, including those from "Newsweek," have delved into the intriguing disappearance of MH370. They showed that it would be implausible for the Boeing 777, carrying 239 passengers and crew members, to have been abducted. They firmly believe that the "evidence" was fabricated.
Some video content can be related to, for example, the NROL-33 satellite, which was launched following the disaster of the Malaysian Airlines flight. The craft's call sign can be spotted in a video uploaded to Reddit.
Subsequent videos also displayed the signal of a military satellite. Alongside this, experts highlight that the physical behavior of the depicted plane contradicts established aerodynamic laws.
This is yet another instance in which experts are attempting to unravel the enduring mystery surrounding Flight MH370 and debunk the related conspiracy theories. Earlier in 2023, a British documentary series entitled "MH370: The Plane That Disappeared" was released on the Netflix platform.
