It has been almost two months since Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 inexplicably went missing, and there have been dozens of conspiracy theories touted over recent weeks. On Thursday news broke that there was a four hour gap between the time authorities knew that the plane had gone missing from radar and the activating of an alert to spark the search for the missing plane. That news has re-sparked a wave of conspiracy theories from Internet users, with some once again claiming there has been some kind of cover up by authorities.

Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 and its 239 passengers vanished from radar traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia towards mainland China at approximately 1:21 am local time on March 8. However, the plane was not reported missing until Vietnamese air traffic control asked Malaysian air traffic control about the plane's location 17 minutes later.

"We are left to assume (that) for those 17 minutes, Kuala Lumpur either didn't notice or didn't act," said CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest.

According to a new report released by Malaysia's Transportation Ministry earlier Thursday, a Malaysia Airlines worker claimed the plane probably ran out of fuel nearly 7 and a half hours into the flight. Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak says that his country's military was tracking a plane believed to be Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 before it crossing the Peninsular Malaysia.

Quest further discussed his views regarding the missing plane and its passengers, and criticized the report released by authorities.

"I can certainly understand that the authorities had more pressing matters in finding the plane than writing a long report, when there will be plenty of other chances to do so," Quest said. "But this report is the barest possible they could get away with."

Those comments have been highlighted on various forums, once again sparking posts from readers that authorities are hiding something, and that not everything is being revealed to the public about the missing flight.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time planes have disappeared - commercial planes are not required to have real time tracking, and that has led to problems in the past as well.

"There have now been two occasions during the last five years when large commercial air transport aircraft have gone missing and their last position was not accurately known," according to the Malaysian report. "This uncertainty resulted in significant difficulty in locating the aircraft in a timely manner."

The report released by authorities on Thursday has done little to quiet criticism and has oppositely brought more condemnation from people who believe that the authorities are not being open and honest about what happened. That in turn has sparked more conspiracy theories to be posted online.
