Ever notice that NASA scientists are always quick to offer an explanation? God forbid scientists say "I don't know" for things like this. And the worst part? It's always a logical explanation. Same thing with the missing plane. Always logical, like "bottom of the sea" or something. Never do they or any news organisations offer the possibility of something far more unknown.
