It's absolutely a conspiracy theory :P Thanks to Leopard's intelligence, ISAF knew for a fact that Megalith was not operational until close to the end of the war, if not until after Farbanti. Fragments crashed all over Usea, it's not unlikely to imagine that multiple air bases around the continent were affected given how prolific aerial combat is in Strangereal compared to our real world.

As for 2005, yes, the Mission 18 briefing clearly states that Megalith weaponizes fragments still stuck in orbit. Remember, Ulysses fragmented at the Roche limit and split into millions of pieces, and the Arkbird didn't clean up 80% of the Ulysses debris in orbit until 2008.
