It would be unnecessarily tragic and anticlimactic for folks to discover "yeah, they all just got teleported randomly... most of them ended up in deep space and died in a few seconds. Kinda sucks." after all. They likely ended up somewhere (or somewhen) specific.
It's still just a theory at this point, though. It seems to fit the facts, but we can't prove it yet.

But if they were just sent somewhere, why wouldn't they just return back to AKB0048? They should be able to at least go somewhere and send them a message. If they were just teleported I don't see why they would all suddenly wish to quit the team. Whatever come with or after the teleport seems to always result in the girl graduating, enough that the successor spot they hold would be free for someone else. It would make more sense if that teleport would have an specific destination, which would be the reason of they not coming back.
If it was a Kirara drive though, wouldn't the other idols notice? They are experienced with doing Kirara Drives with their ship, so I would expect them to be able to recognize one happening in the middle of a concert with the centers.
Well this mystery is likely taking long before it's fully revealed.
