Why all these stupid conspiracy theories?

I understand that European F-16s are often loaded with ball rounds to ensure that the CG is always in limits. So the jet in the hangar might have been carrying a routine ballast load?

Either shoddy maintenance procedures or an electrical fault caused this accident - but doesn't the F-16 gun system have fuses which can be removed when the aircraft is under rectification??

And now back to those idiots who will claim that this was down to some UFO event....
