Editing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance theories (section)

==Physically improbable theories==
The theory that MH370 may have been consumed by a [[black hole]] received considerable attention when [[Don Lemon]] asked, on CNN, whether it was "preposterous" that it could have happened.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://news.yahoo.com/cnn-black-hole-malaysia-flight-370-theories-144151381.html | title=CNN anchorman asks: Could a 'black hole' explain MH370 mystery? | work=[[Yahoo News]] | date=20 March 2014| access-date=26 March 2014| author=Stableford, Dylan}}</ref> Lemon was criticised for this by former [[United States Department of Transportation|U.S. Department of Transportation]] Inspector General [[Mary Schiavo]], who, while appearing on CNN, said that "...a [[Primordial black hole|small black hole]] would suck in our entire universe so we know it's not that."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2014/03/20/Former-DoT-official-shuts-down-CNNs-conspiracy-theories-about-flight-370/9131395346019/ | title=Former DoT official shuts down CNN's conspiracy theories about flight 370| work=[[UPI]] | date=20 March 2014| access-date=26 March 2014| author=Graef, Aileen}}</ref> [[The Atlantic|TheWire.com]] (which "wasn't satisfied" with Schiavo's answer) obtained detailed reasons why a black hole couldn't swallow a plane from [[Columbia University]] astronomy professor [[David Helfand|David J.

Another hypothesis is that a [[meteor]] might have struck the plane; however, the statistical probability for this is extremely low.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/21/us/malaysia-airlines-flight-370-theories/ | title=From 'ghostly' to psychic, theories abound on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 | work=CNN | date=21 March 2014| access-date=24 March 2014| author=Martinez, Michael}}</ref>

In March 2018, around the fourth anniversary of Flight 370's disappearance, an individual received strange voicemails and texts with coordinates of a location in Indonesia somewhat close to where Flight 370 vanished. The voicemails, coded in the [[NATO phonetic alphabet|NATO Phonetic Alphabet]], alluded to an [[alien abduction]].<ref name="breezejmu.org">{{Cite web|url=https://www.breezejmu.org/opinion/conspiracy-fact-or-fiction-twitter-voicemail-flight-370/article_0cde6018-24ba-11e9-b6ef-5b2267105665.html|title = Conspiracy Fact or Fiction &#124; Twitter voicemail & flight 370| date=3 February 2019 }}</ref> This generated significant media attention, as the man who received the texts and voicemails also claimed that someone had showed up and taken pictures of his house, although this was never conclusively verified.<ref name="breezejmu.org"/> The calls were placed using a [[VOIP]] service and were traced to two hotels in [[Port Blair]], though the identity of the caller remains uncertain.<ref name="breezejmu.org"/> Investigators dismissed the phone calls as most likely being a prank or hoax.<ref name="breezejmu.org"/>
