Methane can explain some, even many, of the disappearances.
But Flight 19’s cause is probably something else: the flight didn’t just disappear, there were repeated radio messages indicating they were lost and couldn’t figure out where they were. They ran out of gas and ditched somewhere well outside the search area, possibly even across FL in the Gulf of Mexico.

That one was actually debunked by a PBS special roughly 20 years ago. Interesting cause: There are two land masses that look almost identical and if you think you are flying over one when you are really flying over the other you will head out to sea when you think you are headed back to the mainland. And interestingly one of the pilots in the flight was trying to argue that they were, in fact, going the wrong way, but the commander didn’t listen to him.
