The Forked Rocket Theory

(I'm using "forked" in the computer science / unix programmer sense, which 
means some people will immediately understand me; others will think I am 
intending to associate rockets and silverware and be instantly
confused...)

The rocket was launched from the freighter. At some point the rocket 
encounters a phenomenon that causes it to be duplicated. There are now two

instances of the rocket. One instance of the rocket is in the outside
world. 
It continues to be tracked by Regina and splashes down in the ocean.

The other instance of the rocket traverses over into an alternate universe
/ 
parallel dimension / alternate timeline -- whatever buzzword you want to
use. 
It crashes into the Island at Dan's feet. There's some tem****al disruption

involved with the duplicate and it gets there late. 

So where have we seen this phenomenon before???

Well let's suppose an aircraft hits the phenomenon. The airplane is
"forked" 
into two instances. One instance of the airplane crashes into the ocean.
The 
other instance winds up in the alternate universe / parallel dimension / 
alternate timeline, and crashes into the Island. 

The one that crashed into the ocean is eventually discovered by the
undersea 
researchers and re****ted on the news. 

There is no "Island" in Regina's universe. It's just empty Ocean out
there. 
That's why craphole island is so bloody difficult to find. 

[Of course, one big piece of evidence against this theory is Dan's
assertion 
that the 815 captain's corpse was not wearing his wedding ring]
