MH370 expert Richard Godfrey shared with news.com.au that there are nearly 150 books written about MH370, each of which has its own hypothesis.
"There are many different theories, from strange theories such as MH370 kidnapped by aliens to plotthinking such as a plot involving many governments and spies" - Mr. Richard Godfrey, founder of the website www.mh370search.com, a retired aerospace engineer, shared.
He added that there are also useless assumptions from the public that MH370 has been discovered on Google Earth, and documentaries that mix many different and confusing assumptions.
One widely discussed theory about MH370 is that the US military shot down MH370, or that Malaysia Airlines' plane landed on Diego Garcia - an island in the British Indian Ocean used by the US and UK as a military base.
According to this hypothesis, the US believes that MH370 was looted by terrorist elements and caused security risks.
Experts have completely dismissed the above hypothesis because MH370 did not have enough fuel to fly near Diego Garcia and there is no reliable evidence that the plane was robbed or shot down.
Another famous hypothesis is that MH370 flew to Kazakhstan under the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin, although flight data shows MH370 flying in the opposite direction of Kazakhstan, towards the Indian Ocean.
There is even a theory that MH370 was swallowed by a black hole in the universe.
I only work with scientific studies based on specific data and evidence. We have information from Boeing about how far and how long a Boeing 777 can fly in the air. We also have information from the Malaysia Airlines technical team about the fuel consumption of both engines on the plane," said Mr. Godfrey.
The veteran aviation expert added that with 43 MH370 pieces floating across the Indian Ocean, it is possible to confirm for sure that MH370 crashed.
One of the most widely accepted theories is that MH370's captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, or possibly Deputy Captain Fariq Abdul Hamid, deliberately turned off the plane tracking devices before personally controlling the plane and flying until fuel was gone in a suicide plot.
Alvin Lie - head of the Indonesian Air Transport Service Users Association - shared with news.com.au that the disappearance of MH370 is very confusing in the context of modern technology.
This disappearance is unreasonable and illogical considering all the technology available today. It is easy to track a plane, even if the plane's own tracking device is deactivated, he noted.
The Indonesian expert pointed out, "Southeast Asia has a technology superpower, Singapore". When other flights crashed in the area, such as Adam Air flight 574 crashed into the Makassar Strait in Indonesia on January 1, 2007, killing all 102 people on board, Singaporean authorities were able to locate the plane almost immediately using flight tracking data.
I dont have any theories about this plane. I am not a plotster, but it is strange that such a large plane could disappear without a trace, he replied when asked about the mystery of MH370.
