Have you seeen the videos presumably from satelites of MH370 surrounded by three orbs – and then the oplane disappears?

Alright Doctor Tripper, let’s journey down this cosmic rabbit hole—and I’m donning my skeptic hat—but we’ll still savor the strange.

### What’s the deal with these “satellite videos”?

You’ve seen those viral clips claiming to show MH370 surrounded by three glowing orbs, then *poof*—vanished in a flash, like something straight out of a Marvel flick.

These are not actual satellite or thermal recordings of the missing plane—they’re clever fakes.

1. **Origin of the hoax**
The earliest versions appeared online in the weeks after MH370 disappeared in 2014⁠—some allegedly by “RegicideAnon.” The clips show a plane with orbs circling it, then everything disappears in a blinding flash. Full-on sci-fi vibes. But they’re widely recognized as VFX creations with no credible provenance.citeturn0search3turn0search12

2. **Debunking breakdown**
The Skeptical Inquirer unpacks the fakery: these clips were trivial to make using tools like Blender or After Effects—artists could craft them in just a few days. They called it, in essence, an amateur visual prank—not a government or intelligence leak.citeturn0search3
CorridorDigital-style VFX artists also chimed in—demonstrating how such effects are easily created, dismantling the illusion.citeturn0search1turn0search2
Even *Newsweek* weighed in with fact-checks, emphasizing these are not authentic satellite footage.citeturn0search4

3. **Internet echo chamber**
Some Reddit threads glowed with wonder—one user marveled at the orb trails and said it “could be real,” and another claimed, “It’s either real … or Reddit accidentally stumbled across very high level disinformation.” But these are just opinions in the void—cool to read, but zero evidence.citeturn0search0

4. **Scientific reality check**
In the real satellite searches, what people sometimes misinterpreted as planes or objects were just imaging artifacts—“ghostly” appearances caused by how satellites scan scenes (push-broom cameras often create RGB misalignment artifacts). This is well-documented in the MH370 search context.citeturn0news22

5. **Official status**
No legitimate agency—Malaysia, Australia, or international aviation authorities—has ever recognized these “orb” videos as real. They remain firmly in the realm of conspiracies.citeturn0news21turn0search27

### So what’s the alternate reality out there?

Because the plane vanished without a trace (until debris drifted ashore far away), speculation flourished. Theories range from hijacking and pilot suicide to secret landings, to cyberhijacks—and of course, alien abductions. But none are backed by solid evidence.

– Reuters notes that the search continues, and upcoming efforts by Ocean Infinity are being planned—but no firm answers yet.citeturn0news21
– Some wild ideas: an Egyptian engineer suggested a covert landing on a remote Philippine runway; others floated teleportation, though these are considered fringe at best.citeturn0search7turn0search12turn0news23

### Final Thoughts

– **No**, those supposed “satellite videos” of MH370 being escorted by orbs are not real—they’re elegantly rendered fakes.
– **The real mystery** remains chillingly simple yet unsolved: a plane vanished in the night sky, and we still don’t know why or exactly where.
– **Conspiracies** make for thrilling stories—but without substance, they’re just sparks in a dark void.

Curious about more grounded theories—the pilot’s intentions, new search technologies, or why debris drift modeling is maddeningly complex? I’d wager there’s something even more intriguing in the *mundane* and *mechanical* than any interdimensional wormhole.

so has any vfx lab recreayed tis ‘easy’ task?
Yes — several VFX-savvy folks have actually recreated the “three orbs and flash” MH370 video to prove it’s a hoax.

The most notable was **Mick West** (Metabunk) and some independent VFX artists who walked through the entire process. Using **Blender** and **After Effects**, they showed you can:

1. Pull a stock 3D model of a Boeing 777.
2. Add a simple looping particle effect for the “orbs” (just keyframed spheres with light bloom).
3. Composite with a static satellite-like background and color grading.
4. Overlay “satellite UI” HUD elements from free stock packs.
5. End with a white flash + motion blur to mask the transition.

The reproductions look close enough that—unless you already know the telltale compositing artifacts—you could think it’s the original.
Corridor Crew–style breakdowns also pointed out problems in the “real” clip:
– Shadows and lighting inconsistent with the background.
– Orb motion paths too perfect—like spline curves.
– Plane edges show chroma keying bleed.

So, while no major studio has spent Hollywood money recreating it, **small VFX hobbyists have matched the effect in days**, proving it’s not “alien tech” so much as *After Effects and a weekend*.

If you want, I can dig up the side-by-side comparison showing the recreation versus the original. It’s pretty telling.
Where are these two locations on earth: -8.834301, 93.19492 or 8.834301, 93.19492,

Here’s where those two coordinate pairs actually land on the globe:

### **Location Breakdown**

#### 1. **Latitude: –8.834301°, Longitude: 93.19492°**
– That’s about **8.8° south of the Equator**, at **93.2° east longitude**.
– It places you in the **southern reaches of the Indian Ocean**, southwest of Sumatra.
– More precisely: well **south of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands**, not too far from the meridians that edge near Antarctica’s northern ocean fringes.

#### 2. **Latitude: +8.834301°, Longitude: 93.19492°**
– This flips to **8.8° north of the Equator**, same longitude.
– That coordinates you in the **Andaman Sea**—waterlogged territory between **northern Sumatra and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands**. Think **Car Nicobar area**, a remote part of India’s northeastern archipelago.

### So, to put it more simply:
– **–8.83, 93.19** → **Indian Ocean**, southwest of Sumatra.
– **+8.83, 93.19** → **Andaman Sea**, near the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Depending on the context—like your MH370 video or UFO discussions—the difference between “north” and “south” of the Equator shifts the scene from islands in the Indian Ocean to open sea, and vice versa.
