I think the world would be shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Too bad that headline will never appear anywhere.
I think we need a poll of which conspiracy theory is the top choice:
1) Alien abduction
2) Plane is in Diego Garcia
3) Plane is in Pakistan
4) Someone shot it down and is not fessing up to it
5) CNN did it to boost flagging ratings
6) The Chinese did it
7) Dick Cheney did it
8) The Russians did it to take attention away from Crimea
9) The employees from that Texas company did it
10) Taken by a sharknado

IMO, maaaaybe, the pilot, being fascinated with pressing the flying limits of the plane, also wanted to attempt a "SULLY" and 'land' on the water, possibly setting the plane down in 'one piece' and then (unfortunately) sinking, leaving little debris. (I hope not, but just sayin' )
I don't really know, (as you may surmise!), but I'm very AMAZED that we don't know more than ZIP by now!!
I feel bad for the families and friends of those aboard. It's sad....
The text below is pulled from a CNN story of the timeline by Michael Martinez on March 23.
Note the reference to tracking to Pulau Perak. No mention of tracking further.
You will note the heading was between Langkawi to the north and Penang to the south over Pulau Perak. This was stated as the last known heading by Malaysian military radar. The later announcement of jogs up the straights of Malacca and then a sharp left turn south are not on this first radar track. They were produced three days later as revised tracks. What to believe?
This original track is SW from the Igari turn if you look at current charts they show a much more westerly track from the Igari turn to Vampi passing north of Langkawi. Again, what to believe?
Take your choice.
I simply do not know EXCEPT this last known heading here takes the plane over Indonesia and south westerly more and ties in with the Maldives general direction.
Moreover, It is what I WORKED WITH IN MY ORIGINAL POST as the other track northwest up the straights had not been formulated when I wrote my post and it is this SW track which I believe should have been searched right from the beginning.
My choice remains with this original track. Why? Because it is what the military came up with from the tapes that night before all the other theories began to factored in to the story. It is the track the pilot would take if he were returning to Langwaki as he would approach over water from the south. Going more westerly and passing north of Langwaki eliminates the possibility of landing at Langwaki as the approach from the north involves mountainous terrain.
2:15 a.m.: Military radar detection
Though the Malaysian plane is not transmitting information -- by ACARS or transponder -- radar on the ground or elsewhere can still detect a plane in the air.
According to a Malaysian Air Force official, military radar tracked the plane as it passed over the small sland of Pulau Perak in the Strait of Malacca.
At this point, the plane was hundreds of miles off course. In fact, it was on the other side of the Malay Peninsula.
Military radar showed that it flew in a westerly direction back over the Malay Peninsula, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Raza said. It is then believed to have either turned northwest toward the Bay of Bengal or southwest elsewhere into the Indian Ocean.
This was the last time any civilian or military radar is known to have tracked the aircraft.
The focus now is searching for the missing flight in the southern Indian Ocean, according to a U.S. official.
"The southern scenario seems more plausible," the official said.
The Malaysian military is handing over its raw radar data to U.S. and British officials, apparently setting aside concerns about any sensitive military intelligence.
Quest called this sharing of information a "huge" development in the case.
"They don't want anyone to know how good their radar is. They obviously decided that doesn't matter," he said.
"We don't know much about the Malaysian military and that has been one of the issues," Quest added. "It appears that Malaysia was providing an interpretation of the analysis -- and not the raw data. Now they are handing over the raw data."

In a water landing scenario that produces no debris field since the airplane is mostly intact, could be accomplished in the lee of an island because in the lee there may be little swells, small wave heights and diminished wave intervals. <http://escholarship.org/uc/item/9sz6r0qc#page-22>,
which is another way of saying, everybody has to be someplace, every minute.
....... Too bad that headline will never appear anywhere......
But how do you know that? What do you know that the rest of us don't? Do you state the above because no government would allow that headline even if it were true? Or because aliens do not exist? And if it's the latter; how do you know this? What gives you 100% fact beyond all doubt?
I don't believe aliens got it...I don't go for any of the choices you listed, yet since I know nothing for certain; I put the 'crashed into the ocean' scenario right up there with your other options.
It seems as tho people are branded as wingnuts if they don't buy into the (changed daily) "facts" served up by our governments and media outlets.
Ok - let's look at this rationally. A pax jet on US radar goes dark - we launch an immediate airborne search. We notify Homeland, the Coast Guard, the USAF. We do something.
What does Malaysia do? The hand-off to VN? The Thai radar has the blip heading SW?
