'Manifest': Fan theories split between aliens and government conspiracy to be behind the mysterious disappearance of Montego Air Flight 828

The plane was either abducted by government agencies or was wrapped in an alien-created wormhole... Whatever it is, it is insane!

NBC's record-breaking show, 'Manifest', is about to resume with the second half of its first season from January 7, and fans are already contemplating the plausible reasons behind the sudden disappearance of Montego Air Flight 828. Starring Josh Dallas as Ben Stone, Athena Karkanis as Grace, Parveen Kaur as Saanvi Bahl, J.R. Ramirez as Jared, and Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone, the Jeff Rake-directed show has been following the aftermath of the sudden re-appearance of the plane which went missing for almost five and a half years. The passengers who returned un-aged began experiencing some strange voices in the head that they interpret as "Callings".

Fans are wondering if it was a government conspiracy or an alien invasion that could have caused this mysterious phenomenon.
