| Summary | This theory argues that UAPs observed in footage related to MH370 cannot be conventional flares because they exhibit behaviors like instantaneous directional changes, level flight against wind, and reformation. Proponents claim these characteristics are incompatible with pyrotechnic flares, which follow ballistic trajectories and disperse. |
| Origin | Part of the 4Orbs research into MH370, a central case study for the 4Orbs library. |

| Evidence / consensus | Mainstream analysis suggests that optical illusions, atmospheric conditions, and incomplete footage can mislead observers about object behavior and distance. No peer-reviewed evidence supports the claim that these are non-flare UAPs. |
