As the search for missing Malaysia Airline flight MH370 enters its fifth day, has sparked a number of conspiracy theories.
From alien abduction and a hidden weapon at work, to a military take out and pilot suicide, the theories keep flowing over the internet.
The Boeing 777 jetliner vanished five days ago with 239 people on board.
The flight left Kuala Lumpur at 4.41pm GMT bound for Beijing, but less than 50 minutes later it lost communication with air traffic control.
It veered off over the South China Sea and headed west for the next hour and 10 minutes, travelling over Malaysia and Thailand.
Its last tracked position on radar recorded the flight about 200 miles off course over the Malacca Strait, near the island of Pulau Perak.
At least 10 countries, including Vietnam and China, are taking part in the search, which involves 40 ships and 34 aircraft.
Deputy Transport Minister Pham Quy Tieu, who heads the Vietnam search, said: "We still have plans to search with a few flights today, while other activities are suspended."
He added that searches by ships were being suspended.
Here are some popular conspiracy theories:
1. Alien abduction
Social media users have jumped on the possibility of extraterrestial life having something to do with the missing plane.
One user wrote: "After an extensive conversation with my father & his partner, we have come to the conclusion that the only explanation is #aliens mh370."
Another added: "I secretly believe that plane is abducted by aliens.. I know I’m not the only one.."
And one user even said there were only two possibilities for its disappearance, aliens or a DB Cooper-style heist.
He wrote: "This malaysian airlines flight has the potential to be either the greatest heist since DB Cooper, or alien abduction. I vote aliens."
