This is officially the wildest EgyptAir conspiracy

WITH no solid explanations yet for the crash of EgyptAir flight MS804, some people are resorting to some ridiculous conspiracy theories.

AS FAR as wild theories go, this one is out of this world: A meteor may have brought down EgyptAir Flight 804, according to a report.

The Mirror of the UK reported the doozy of an explanation after a 9100-tonne space rock hurtled toward Earth at almost 68,000kph on May 17, breaking up into smithereens.

The largest fragment landed in Argentina, while pieces measuring from 6cm to about 60cm were believed to have struck between Greenland and Australia from May 18-20, the paper reported.

The ill-fated aircraft plunged into the Mediterranean Sea on May 19.

Russia was the first country to send an alert about the approaching meteor and its risk to air traffic, the Mirror reported.

The commander of a Russian anti-aircraft missile system deployed in Syria also was warned that the space debris could trigger the S-400’s alarm systems, the paper reported.

Okno, a Russian space surveillance station in Tajikistan, detected the barrelling body, whose trajectory was plotted by the Kanopus satellite, according to the site.

But an aviation analyst promptly shot down the theory.

“The word ‘astronomical’ would not even be enough to describe the mathematical odds of a meteor taking down the EgyptAir flight,” Phil Derner of NYCAviation.com told The New York Post.

“The theory, like absolutely any theory at this point, holds no water because so little is known.

“Authorities have contradicted their own disseminated info so many times that it’s nearly impossible for anyone to seriously consider any theory at all, whether it be logical or completely ridiculous,” he said.

“I think the odds of a meteor hitting the aircraft are the same as a midair collision with Icarus.”

Another outlandish theory floated about the mysterious crash was that the aircraft was brought down by a UFO.

A Turkish Airlines crew reported that an object with green lights had passed above their plane in the same area on the day that Flight 804 went down, the Express reported.

And some conspiracy theorists pointed out that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was lost exactly 804 days before Flight 804.

Mr Derner emphasised that airline crash probes usually take a year to complete.
