Ashton Forbes, a healthcare IT consultant turned UFO/UAP proponent, gained attention for promoting videos claiming Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared due to alien interference, despite evidence debunking the footage. Later, Forbes fell victim to a $3,000 scam involving fake evidence supporting his beliefs, but continued to assert a conspiracy against him.

You hit the nail on having an explanation, but it also needs to be an exciting, movie script like explanation. Something where the bit players have outsized roles and are somehow special. The gonzo shit some of these fuckwits come up with astounds me that anyone believes it!
