Unfortunately, it is the typical mindless and cliche
speculation, often later followed by min-black holes
and superquarks, that gets thrown out when either a
plane or ship mysteriously disappears and there is a
lack of any hard data on which to construct a rational
hypothesis. It is not that CNN is "grasping for straws"
to explain this utterly heartbreaking disappearance.
Instead CNN is grasping for anything to print in the
absence of anything new and significant to report in
order to keep their audience entertained.

Bolides are being used to explained numerous
reports of loud noises and reports of aircraft crashes
that people are trying to link to the disappearance
of Flight MH370.

The most interesting and professional discussion of
this unfolding tragedy, which I have found, is "Malaysian
