The mysteriously "turned off" transponder swirls conspiracy theories
The ship Seabed Constructor, the Norwegian ship commissioned by the US based Ocean Infinity suddenly went “dark” on tracking websites not long after it had completed a curious circle, several kilometres wide, prompting many on Twitter to question what was inside the circle on the sea floor.
Photo shows the route the Seabed Constructor is taking: From Durban to Perth, missing the waters of Mauritius.
“I’m sticking with my theory that the big circle is a piece of debris, and the line south was to locate the plane. When they think they found it they turned off AIS as protocol,” one tweet said.
“This. Is. Strange. I have never seen a ship do this. Maybe there’s an AUV lost down there?!?” said another.
Some said the ship may have lost one of its submarine robots during the search.
No one knows the true story and this has sparked conspiracy theorists to give their wildest of views.
Twitter hot on heals
For nearly a week some aviation buffs and MH370 followers have been debating online whether the missing plane has in fact been secretly found, said Radio New Zealand.
If there’s no secret they said, then why did the ship AIS went abruptly off for several days, preventing online observers from tracking its movements.
The ship then headed south-west in a straight line, and a few kilometres later turned its AIS off. It has spent two weeks scouring the ocean floor in the southern Indian Ocean for the fuselage or debris from MH370.
“Tomorrow I’ll confirm the GPS I have for Constructor down to the wreck and back. I’ve already confirmed it with my source. It happened. It isn’t a big deal from my point of view."

Secret detour to shipwreck for treasure?
Some speculated that the ship had made a secret detour to a nearby shipwreck to retrieve a chest known to be on the sea floor. They believe the search turned into a treasure hunt!
The shipwreck was discovered in 2015 during the previous Australian-led search for MH370, in waters south-west of the current search zone, but the ship has dissolved, leaving only a metal frame.
Users on Twitter has run hot with speculation that Ocean Infinity indeed took a deliberate detour to a ship wreck, presumably to retrieve the chest and any booty it might contain.
