When considering any possible conspiracy, we must apply Occam's Razor, namely that the simpler explanation for a thing is more likely to be correct.

In this case, we are presented with two theories:

  1. The recent solar flare caused such strange and precise ionospheric disruption--just like in that one movie which I forget the name of--that it caused signals from MH370's black box to leave a voicemail on someone's mobile phone with a fucking creepy-ass message about aliens.

  2. The whole thing is an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the supposed discoverer of the message, because they have no prospect of gainful employment and have thus concluded that internet fame is the only remaining way to keep themselves sheltered and fed.

As much as I would love for there to be aliens, #2 is more likely by far.
