Catch me up: MH370 & the Orb Videos
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 with 239 people on board and has never been found. Ashton Forbes argues that two leaked clips — the "orb videos" — show the aircraft surrounded by three orbs and then vanishing in a flash. This topic maps the footage analysis, the leak-provenance claims, and the debunker battle against the official account of the disappearance.
