Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Conspiracy Theories: Did Missing Plane Pilot Talk to Mystery Woman Before Take Off?

It has been nearly two months since Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 mysteriously went missing, and there have dozens of conspiracy theories touted surrounding how the flight vanished. Over recent weeks, everything from a plane fire to UFO's have been touted, however, the latest rumors concern a mystery woman that one of the pilots may have communicated with prior to the flight.

The Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 went missing on March 8 and still experts are at a loss as where the plane is and what exactly happened to the hundreds of passengers on board.

One theory touted last month was that the missing aircraft carried out a series of stealth maneuvers to avoid being discovered by radar, however, others have written those theories off, saying there are a dozen other possible explanations that could have been the reason for the aircraft to alter its altitude and change course.

Yet another theory that has emerged recently has been regarding Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370's pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, with some claiming that he allegedly made or received a call from an unidentified woman under a fake name just prior to the plane taking off on March 8.

However, authorities have not given any credibility to those conspiracy theories, and there is no hard evidence to believe for certain that the pilots had anything to do with the plane's disappearance.

Even though conspiracy theories will undoubtedly continue to swirl for as long as the real circumstances of the plane's disappearance remain a mystery, what can be confirmed this week is that the search area will be expanded, and an underwater quest will be widened to find possible wreckage under the sea.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced today that it could cost approximately $60 million to complete the lengthy underwater search. The new underwater expedition is expected to last at least 8 months.

"I regret to say that thus far none of our efforts in the air, on the surface or under sea, have found any wreckage... The aircraft plainly cannot disappear. It must be somewhere," said Australian Prime Minister Abbott. "We do not want this crippling cloud of uncertainty to hang over this family and the wider traveling public."
