- A - world-famous aviator disappears

on her flight around the world.

A ghost ship is discovered sailing the open seas

with no sign of its missing crew.

And a legendary expedition whose fate...

is as chilling as the Arctic itself.

The world is a very big place.

It's covered in swaths of seemingly endless wilderness,

vast open oceans

and a multitude of locations where one can go missing.

Even with modern technology and advanced search techniques,

there are countless individuals

whose whereabouts remain a mystery.

Their stories instill both fascination and fear,

leaving us to wonder how someone could get lost

without a trace.

Well, that is what we'll try and find out.

34-year-old aviator Amelia Earhart takes off

for a daring attempt

to become the first woman to fly solo

over the Atlantic Ocean.

It was a perilous journey

that had already claimed many lives.

Despite the inherent risks,

14 hours and 56 minutes

after embarking on this death-defying feat,

Earhart touches down in a field in Northern Ireland.

And in that moment, a true icon is born.

The transatlantic flight had not become routine.

A lot of people have died trying.

She did a good job of piloting it.

And her navigation was pretty much dead reckoning,

which we used to joke in the Air Force,

you reckon wrong, you're dead.

Amelia Earhart was a deserved superstar.

She had a voracious nature

for wanting to publicize aviation

and how fascinating it was.

And to do so by pushing the limits

and to prove

that there was no reason to say that,

"because you're a woman, you can't do something."

She was way ahead of her time.

Amelia Earhart was just a trailblazer

at a time when women didn't fly.

And so when she decided in 1937 that she was gonna

fly around the world,

which was an ambitious thing to do in 1937,

the world watched with bated breath.

This was exciting.

With years of experience under her belt,

Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan,

take off in a twin-engine Lockheed Electra

for their next great adventure:

a 29,000-mile trip around the Earth.

On July 2, a month and 22,000 miles

into their journey, Earhart and Noonan begin

the longest and most dangerous leg of their flight,

to a tiny, mile-long speck of land

in the middle of the Pacific called Howland Island.

As Earhart and Noonan near Howland Island,

they radio a Coast Guard vessel,

the Itasca, that's been positioned near their target.

The Itasca's only objective

is to guide Earhart in to safely.

So as Amelia is approaching Howland Island,

she tries on the radio to reach the Itasca.

She calls and she says,

"We must be on you, but cannot see you

flying at a thousand feet, low on gas."

So they start sending her Morse code signals.

She says,

"I'm hearing your Morse code signals,

but we can't get you on voice, we can't hear your voice."

And then about 30 minutes later, we hear her final message.

She said, "We're on the line,

157 337, flying north and south."

We never hear from her again.

She's been gone 87 years, and we still

don't have a definitive answer

as to, as to what happened to her.

Amelia Earhart's failed flight

around the world could be considered

the most famous disappearance in American history.

And for decades, it's sparked endless speculation

about just what happened to the beloved aviator.

One of the most compelling theories comes

from Ric Gillespie, the founder of

The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery,

or TIGHAR.

At TIGHAR, we've done

35 years of investigation

on people who disappeared in airplanes.

After we started our Historical Investigation Foundation,

one of our members...

we're a membership organization...

called me and said,

"Hey, we got a theory about Amelia Earhart."

These were two guys who were retired aerial navigators

from the military in World War II.

And what they told me is that

if she did what she said she was doing,

she should have made it to another island.

The most valuable clue Earhart gave before she disappeared

was that she was flying on line 157 337,

a northwest to southwest navigational line

that cuts through Howland Island.

To the northwest of Howland

is nothing but thousands of miles of open ocean.

But to the southwest is a tiny,

uninhabited island called Nikumaroro.

We think Amelia Earhart landed

and died as a castaway on this island.

On Nikumaroro.

So we did some archeological excavations on the island.

And we have found a campsite there.

We have found things

that speak of an American woman of the 1930s...

Things that Amelia Earhart

would logically have with her.

In 2010, at the site, I was doing metal detecting.

And the first thing

I pulled up out of the ground was this loop.

And I knew immediately

that it came from an easy open,

double-bladed, bone-handled jackknife.

There is an inventory of Earhart's airplane

that was taken by the U.S. Army,

and one of the items they inventoried was

a bone-handled, double-bladed jackknife.

We have found a great deal of archeological evidence.

But it's circumstantial.

You can't get around that.

There is no DNA,

it's just been too long.

Believe me, we've tried.

There's more to learn. There's always more to learn.

Did Amelia Earhart die

as a castaway on Nikumaroro Island?

While it's extremely compelling, without actual DNA evidence,

it's far from conclusive.

And there are many experts who believe

another theory entirely:

that Earhart ran out of gas

and crashed near Howland Island.

She was very close to the island.

She tells us she-she's low on gas.

And, everything points to a very

near miss to Howland Island.

She was right there. She was very close.

Tony Romeo is the founder and CEO

of Deep Sea Vision,

an underwater exploration company.

In September 2023, Tony and his team

mounted an expedition to search for Earhart's plane

near Howland Island.

They painstakingly scanned the seafloor

with an autonomous underwater vehicle

equipped with the latest sonar technology.

Incredibly, nearing the end of their expedition,

they capture a curious sonar image

from the bottom of the ocean

less than 100 miles away from Howland Island.

This is an image of...

what we believe to be Amelia Earhart's plane.

And then what you're seeing is a reflection,

the white areas, which is a reflection

of an object on the bottom of the seabed.

What you're seeing fits very close

to the dimensions of Amelia's plane.

Holy smokes, this thing actually exists.

In early 2024,

this remarkable sonar image made

major headlines around the world.

Has Amelia Earhart's plane been found?

It's a tantalizing possibility,

but as of now, Tony's suspicions have yet to be confirmed,

because the object is at the bottom of the ocean...

15,000 feet below.

What we have right now are sonar images.

The next thing we want are color pictures of the aircraft.

Then we move to the next step, which I think would be

engineering a solution to bring it to the surface.

Could 21st-century technology be

the key to finding Earhart's missing aircraft?

For now, this remarkable sonar image provides

new hope that the fate of America's legendary

lady of the sky may finally be revealed.

Even today, Amelia Earhart still has

this hold on the nation's consciousness.

She is still seen as this hero.

The mystery is still important.

We're still wondering what happened

to this one person in 1937.

It is just this mystery

that we can't let go of until it's answered.

Two British Royal Navy ships...

the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror...

departed England under the command

of veteran polar explorer Sir John Franklin.

Their mission was to be the first to find and navigate

the fabled Northwest Passage.

The long-rumored sea route linking Europe and Asia

that would revolutionize trade between the continents.

But this ever-changing maze of ice

was considered virtually impassable.

With enough rations to support the crew for up to three years,

made possible by innovations like canned food,

the historic expedition was

unlike anything ever attempted.

It was a voyage known as the Franklin Expedition.

The Franklin Expedition was the best equipped

polar expedition that had ever been mounted.

You know, the two ships: HMS Erebus, HMS Terror.

Ice-reinforced and all the geographical knowledge

was in their library that they carried aboard ship.

Um, so they, they, they were

as well prepared as possible.

The Erebus and the Terror

were equipped with the latest technology.

They had heating systems so that you had

ducting to heat different compartments.

There was a steam engine to help

in propulsion when there was no wind.

So a lot of innovation was done

that was leading at the time.

Despite the innovations employed by Franklin and his men,

in just a few years, it became clear to colleagues

and loved ones back in England

that the Erebus and the Terror were in trouble.

Ultimately, they would become

one of the most famous lost expeditions

in human history.

By 1847, as people

in Europe hadn't heard from the Franklin Expedition,

it became increasingly evident that something had gone wrong.

The fact that two ships, 129 men,

disappeared with very few traces,

has presented a blank canvas

on which we can project our fears and our concerns.

To this day, no one can say for sure what happened

to the majority of the people on this ill-fated expedition.

But in 1850, a fleet of search ships

were shocked to discover

the first grim clues.

A small cemetery

with three gravestones

on Beechey Island.

There had been three members

of the Franklin Exhibition who died

very early on in the expedition.

And they were buried on Beechey Island,

the first winter site for the expedition.

It's like a polar desert.

And when they realized

that the Franklin Expedition were lost,

the question was:

okay, what happened to them?

It became truly a global effort

to kind of answer some of these

enduring questions about the expedition.

Dozens of exhaustive searches

continued in this frozen wasteland.

It appears the expedition turned south

after burying three men on Beechey Island.

In 1859, a sled team searching near King William Island...

discovered an abandoned lifeboat

containing two human skeletons.

Remains of a third sailor were also found,

preserved in the ice.

But the most valuable clue was a hand-written note

discovered nearby at a location ironically named

Victory Point.

The Victory Point Note was found

near King William Island.

And it gave two status updates

on the expedition.

One in the spring of 1847,

which stated that all was well.

And another from the spring of 1848,

which indicated that John Franklin

had died in the previous year.

And that two dozen members of the expedition

had similarly died of malnutrition,

scurvy, tuberculosis.

And the remaining members of the expedition

would be heading out overland in an attempt at,

self-rescue on the Canadian mainland.

This single letter,

written over 170 years ago,

offers the only known record

of the expedition's last-ditch effort at survival

after being stuck in the ice

for over two years.

And then, the true story of the Franklin Expedition

becomes largely unknown.

Only around 30 of the 129 men have been found.

What happened to the rest of them?

Well, intriguing clues would come

from the oral history of the local Inuit people,

the only known inhabitants of the Canadian Arctic.

The white men that the Inuit described interacting with

inspired true terror in these local inhabitants.

In fact, they believed they were no longer men

but monsters.

In 1854, a man named John Ray,

who was a Hudson Bay employee and a trapper,

he had gone searching for evidence

of the Franklin Expedition.

And he had talked to some local Inuits.

And they had an oral tradition

that they had encountered what they called snow zombies.

The Inuit tried to give them food.

They seemed to be unable to even accept help.

They were blue-skinned, they were talking irrationally.

They don't look like a person, they don't act like a person.

They found them in camps where the men were just

on the ground starving.

And they were eating the corpses.

They were engaging in cannibalism.

Did the men of the Franklin Expedition become

real-life zombies, as the Inuit stories suggest?

Or were they driven to madness

from starvation and disease in this deadly environment?

Well, some believe the real answer

came over a century later in the 1980s,

from a team of field researchers

led by anthropologist Owen Beattie.

A colleague of mine, Owen Beattie, who's a professor

of anthropology at the University of Alberta,

led several expeditions to collect human remains

related to the Franklin Exhibition.

The idea was to go and exhume those graves

on Beechey Island to see if there was preserved tissue.

What was discovered was that the three sailors

were incredibly well preserved in the permafrost.

And so autopsies were conducted,

and the tissue showed that there was extremely high levels

of lead found in the remains that were collected.

One of the most common explanations for what might have

happened to the Franklin Expedition was lead poisoning.

And the reason was because of this new technology of canning,

because while the cans were tin, they were sealed with lead.

And so the assumption was that maybe because lead

had leached into the food, it would make you more

vulnerable to things like pneumonia.

And it also could have mental effects, especially paranoia.

And that might explain some of the very strange things

that seemed to happen with the Franklin Expedition.

That they weren't even behaving like men anymore.

Nearly 170 years after the Franklin Expedition

left the safety of England,

two major discoveries would reveal the ships' fate.

In 2014 and 2016,

both the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror

were found on the Arctic Ocean floor,

renewing hope that the fate of the lost Franklin men

might be revealed.

Unfortunately, researchers have found nothing on board

that explains what actually happened.

So the question is,

what became of nearly 100 men

that remain lost and unaccounted for?

We found the two ships, and yet

the vast majority of the remains

have never been discovered.

And what's really missing are the logbooks

that might really explain what's going on.

There might be something that tells us the whole story.

We just haven't found it yet.

And that gives us a reason to keep searching.

Whether the lost crew of the Franklin Expedition

were driven mad from starvation,

illness,

or even something supernatural,

the answer remains a mystery.

And such is the case of the strange disappearance

of one of the most famous people

of the 20th century.

Just how did an American musical icon

simply vanish...

never to be seen again?

A small, single-engine plane departs

from Twinwood Farm Airbase en route to Paris.

As it takes off across the English Channel,

the plane disappears

into the dense winter fog.

And is never seen again.

On board this lost flight

is the most famous musical icon of the day,

legendary big band leader

Glenn Miller.

It was said that in 1940, two out of every three

records in a jukebox was a Glenn Miller record.

From the end of October of 1941

until the end of April in 1942,

every single number one record

on the Billboard Top Ten was Miller.

The number one in his all-time greatest hit

was "Chattanooga Choo Choo,"

which actually was the first gold record

ever awarded to an artist.

Glenn Miller was the original

big-time superstar.

Like many of his fellow artists,

in 1942, Miller gave up his lucrative music career

to enlist in the U.S. Army.

For nearly two years, Major Glenn Miller

lead the Miller's Army Air Force Band,

giving more than 350 performances.

It would be an upcoming holiday event

that would change Miller's life forever.

The Miller Army Air Force Orchestra was going to have

a huge performance on Christmas of 1944 in Paris

for all of these soldiers who had been fighting

since D-Day in June.

And Glenn Miller was in the United Kingdom,

but he was anxious to get to Paris to set this up.

So he found out that an officer in the Eighth Air Force,

name of Norman Bassell,

was going to be flying to Paris.

And Miller managed to wrangle an invite to fly

in a very small plane called a Norseman.

One slight problem.

Miller doesn't inform his chain of command of his intentions.

Miller and Bassel get on the plane,

and at 1:55 p.m., that airplane takes off from Twinwood.

No one ever saw it again.

Glenn Miller's plane has never been found.

Even surveys of the English Channel

have not found a single trace.

This clear lack of evidence has fueled sensational theories

to explain the icon's mysterious disappearance.

And one of the most intriguing of all the claims

is that perhaps his plane didn't go down at all.

One of the more fanciful theories

was that Glenn Miller was actually a spy,

that he was engaged in espionage.

So the theory is that Miller landed in Paris secretly,

and that they smuggled him into Germany

to negotiate with high-level German generals

about assassinating Hitler to put an end to the war.

And that, at some point, he was betrayed

and that he was killed by the Germans on this secret mission.

And it wouldn't be unbelievable that if it went south

that they would lie about that

and say that his plane went down.

Was Glenn Miller

really an international superstar turned spy?

While it's an intriguing idea, there's no hard evidence

to prove Miller actually was conducting espionage.

But there is some evidence that suggests

there may have been a cover-up surrounding his death.

A cover-up meant to hide a terrible mistake

made by his own allies.

The most popular explanation

for what happened to Glenn Miller

was that he was shot down,

knocked down by friendly fire.

The story goes that, in trying to get to Paris,

flying over the Channel,

Miller's airplane strayed

into a bomb dispersal area.

At that time, if bombers got to their target

and couldn't see the target well enough

to drop their bombs, they would jettison the bombs

over the Channel in approved dispersal areas.

In the 1980s, a British veteran,

who'd been a navigator on a Lancaster bomber that day,

reported that we had hit Glenn Miller with friendly fire

from a bomb jettison from a Lancaster.

As it turned out, with a modicum of investigation,

you will find that there was an RAF bomb jettison that day.

Was the plane carrying Glenn Miller accidentally bombed

by his own allies?

It's certainly possible.

However, there are others who believe

that the circumstances of Miller's disappearance

was triggered by a very different kind of accident:

mechanical failure.

The carburetor heater in Miller's plane

had been recalled by the Army Air Forces

six months earlier.

So at 1500 feet, if the carburetor heater fails,

then the engine stops,

the nose goes down immediately.

And hitting the English Channel,

it's like hitting a brick wall.

It disintegrates, and no one survives.

Despite circumstantial evidence

to support the notion of mechanical failure,

answers are far from definitive.

To this day, the plane remains lost,

along with the truth

of what really happened to Glenn Miller.

I think when a celebrity and famous person vanishes,

we have the ultimate mystery, don't we?

What happened to Glenn Miller?

Where is the debris of the airplane?

It's always open to speculation,

but most importantly in the minds of all of us,

because he captured our imagination,

he remains in our imagination.

Did fame play a role in Glenn Miller's disappearance,

or was it simply a plane malfunction

that caused the band leader to be lost?

Questions also remain about another mysterious case

involving ten people who vanished

and were the possible victims of a deadly curse.

An American brigantine ship known as the Mary Celeste

sets sail from this bustling port

transporting goods to Genoa, Italy.

On board is American Captain Benjamin S. Briggs,

his wife Sarah, their two-year-old daughter Sophia

and an crew of seven sailors

from the U.S., Denmark, and Germany.

But on December 4, 1872,

just under a month after these ten people

set sail on the Mary Celeste,

the vessel is discovered aimless and adrift

in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

On December 4th, David Reed Morehouse,

captain of the Dei Gratia, a Canadian cargo ship,

spies this ship in the distance

about halfway between the Azores and Portugal,

400 miles from each.

It's bucking, doesn't look right.

And so they sail over, and they find the Mary Celeste.

They go aboard

and everything's kind of creepy.

The ship's wheel is spinning uncontrollably,

so he doesn't understand what's going on.

The Mary Celeste was sailing without its crew.

According to the crew of the Dei Gratia,

finding this abandoned vessel

along a major trade route defied explanation.

The Mary Celeste had become

a ghost ship.

A ghost ship was a mariner's term for any ship

found sailing without its crew.

In the 19th century, dozens of ships were found

sailing without their crews every year.

But usually there was a very plausible

and obvious reason for that.

And it's possible

they could've been swept overboard in a storm.

They could have abandoned ship

because they thought it was sinking.

Those are usually things that you can tell.

The difference was,

nothing seemed to fit the Mary Celeste story.

The Mary Celeste is just the quintessential story

of people being lost,

of vanishing without a trace.

It was the strangest thing.

Everything on this ship was intact, including the cargo.

And that's when you have to ask, what happened?

If there was everything stolen, you'd say,

well, pirates, pirates must have done this.

If there was mutiny, there'd be blood,

and the mutineers would've taken the ship.

There's no bodies.

Why would ten people abandon

a perfectly good seaworthy ship?

People wanted to know what happened,

what could've happened?

This was a story that went viral,

and every week there was a story

and newspaper reporters found something.

And one week, it's insurance fraud.

This week, it's murder.

Next week, it's mutiny.

And it just gave this story a life of its own.

Some people have put forward the theory a giant squid

somehow dragged them into the watery depths as well.

There have also been explanations

based on psychic phenomena,

in ways analogous to the Bermuda Triangle.

There have also been people who have attributed

the abandonment of the Mary Celeste

to alien abduction,

but there is no way

of conclusively demonstrating any one theory.

This famous maritime disappearance

has puzzled researchers for over 150 years.

In addition to the passengers, the only thing that appeared

to be missing from the Mary Celeste

was a single lifeboat.

Even Captain Briggs' logbook provides no clues

as to what may have happened.

But some believe that the answer may be found

in a letter written by the captain's wife, Sarah,

two days before the Mary Celeste departed New York Harbor.

Sarah wrote a letter to her mother-in-law,

who was watching their son.

And she had mentioned that the ship is making

all kinds of popping and hissing sounds.

Now, that would be the alcohol down below deck.

They had left with 1,701 barrels of alcohol in their cargo.

It made her nervous.

The U.S. routinely sold solvents and fuel

and that kind of alcohol.

If you had 450 gallons of methanol or formaldehyde

that had been bottled up inside a ship's hold for three weeks,

the effects could be serious for the crew.

Nausea, dizziness.

It could even cause hallucinations.

This is serious physiological effects

from exposure to these kind of fumes.

And I think that's what's at the at the heart of what happened.

Could hallucinations explain

why the crew abandoned ship

without any supplies to survive the open ocean?

While it's possible, others believe

the ship itself was cursed.

The Mary Celeste had long been associated

with curious superstition,

ever since it was built in Nova Scotia in 1861.

Back then, the ship went by a different name, the Amazon.

The Amazon had more than its share of misfortune.

We do know that the first captain of the ship

died within a day of setting foot on board her.

Someone had renamed it Mary Celeste,

which is a no-no for ships.

It was maritime folklore that renaming a ship

would anger Poseidon or King Neptune.

And if he had to relearn the name,

the punishment for that was shipwreck or death.

Whether you want to believe that that is supernatural,

paranormal, bad luck, or what,

people died around it, cargo went bad,

nobody ever made money with it.

It was just a horrible, bad luck ship.

Could the crew of the Mary Celeste

have succumbed to the power of a deadly curse

or even the ravages of a giant squid?

It all sounds otherworldly.

Just like the case of a lost airplane pilot

whose last words sounded eerily like a close encounter

with an unidentified flying object.

Since the 1800s,

this 190 mile-wide stretch of water

separating Australia and Tasmania

has earned a reputation where ships,

and even planes, mysteriously go missing.

It's sometimes called the Bass Strait Triangle.

But something truly baffling happens

over this notorious stretch of water

when 20 year-old pilot Frederick Valentich

flies the Strait in a Cessna 182L

and encounters something in the sky.

So, the 20th of October, 1978, Frederick Valentich drives

right across Melbourne to Moorrabbin Airport for a flight.

Which, presumably, he's doing to get his hours up, because

he's a pilot who wants to become

a commercial airline pilot.

And he heads southwest out of Melbourne

and along the coast towards Cape Otway.

His flight plan has him flying from Moorabbin Airport

down to Cape Otway at the lighthouse,

which pilots like to use for navigation,

and then turning to the southeast towards King Island.

When he was flying towards King Island,

he had some very strange transmissions

and-and radio calls to the tower back in Melbourne.

He asked the Melbourne tower

if there were any aircraft in his vicinity,

because he had said there was another object

about 1,000 feet higher than him...

and it had very bright lights,

and there shouldn't have been anything there.

What strange craft did Frederick Valentich

see flying over Australia's Bass Strait?

The only clues available today is the transcript

of a six-minute transmission between Valentich

and air traffic controller Steve Roby

from Melbourne Flight Service.

Fred says, "This is Delta Sierra Juliet.

Is there any known traffic below 5,000?"

And then Steve Roby says, "No known traffic."

And Frederick replies, "Seems to be a large aircraft below.

"It seems to me that he's playing some sort of game.

"He's flying over me two to three times at a time

at speeds I cannot identify."

So then, Steve Roby replies,

"Can you describe the aircraft?"

And Frederick says, "It's got a green light

"and sort of metallic-like.

It's all shiny on the outside."

What was the strange, metallic object

Frederick Valentich reported in real time?

We may never know for sure

because, tragically, this 20-year-old pilot

has never been seen or heard from again.

He says, "That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again.

It is hovering, and it's not an aircraft."

Within about 15 or 20 minutes of the loss of radio contact...

a search and rescue, operation was begun,

and that lasted for a number of weeks.

But no wreckage was ever recovered.

Frederick Valentich has been missing now

for 46 years, and yet, we are still talking about him.

An official investigation presumed the event

to be some kind of accident.

But many, including Valentich's own father,

offer another explanation:

UFO abduction.

His father, he was looking for answers

but nobody knows what actually happened.

He came up with this theory that they might be these people

from another world that captured Fred.

The foundation of that story was what Fred actually said.

He had to believe what his son said.

This unidentified object was flying around him,

and now he's disappeared.

A lot of aircraft have disappeared all over the place,

but very few of them report seeing a UFO

and then disappear.

But that's the case here.

The Valentich incident really has all these elements

of the entire UFO abduction milieu

and makes us really wonder what was going on in the sky.

Aircraft don't just disappear.

People just don't disappear.

We are used to stories

that have nice beginnings and nice endings.

We know the beginnings, but the endings sometimes elude us.

Located in the heart of this frigid Canadian territory

is a remote lake 197 square miles in size.

It's a place that, according to legend,

was once home to the lost village of Lake Angikuni.

Lake Angikuni is incredibly isolated from civilization.

It's incredibly dangerous.

It's minus-50 degrees Fahrenheit during the day sometimes.

You can absolutely believe that anyone living on the tundra,

that something could happen to them

and you wouldn't know what happened.

According to legends, the small Inuit village

of Lake Angikuni was well-known to fur trappers

who passed through on occasion during hunting expeditions.

In 1930, one of these trappers, Joe Labelle,

reportedly arrived at the village

and made a disturbing discovery.

Joe Labelle, he goes and looks, and there's nobody there.

The village is completely abandoned.

The way he describes it is it looks as if they just went out,

expecting to come back, and never did.

There was food that had been apparently taken

and prepared, but never eaten.

He said that he encountered seven sled dogs.

Five of them had already died of malnutrition.

Two were just barely hanging on.

The villagers wouldn't have left the sled dogs behind

because they were their lifeline to the outside world.

So why did these people disappear?

It is said the Royal Canadian Mounted Police

conducted an investigation of the site,

but the villagers were never found.

And this was not the only report made to police

of unusual occurrences at Lake Angikuni.

About the same time that Joe Labelle had found

the abandoned village, there was a story circulating

that another trapper, named Arnold Laronde,

and his sons had seen a very strange object in the sky.

It was described as a bullet-shaped metallic object

moving through the heavens,

and they had no explanation for what they had seen.

This has been suggested by some to be a UFO connection

to the vanishing village.

Although we may never know for certain what happened

to the village of Lake Angikuni,

it remains one of the many lost stories

that continue to fuel our collective curiosity and fear.

Every so often something happens

that reminds us that the world is a big place

and that we can be swallowed up into it without a trace.

And I think we're very much haunted by the thought

that people can simply vanish without trace,

and that we may never know where they've gone.

We have these mysteries.

They're more than 100 years old, some of them,

and they still captivate our minds.

And the interesting part is

the evidence might still be there.

Maybe we will find Glenn Miller's Norseman.

Maybe we will find Amelia Earhart's Electra.

Who knows what's still out there to find that might solve

some of the great mysteries that still captivate the public?

Learning that someone has suddenly disappeared

from the face of Earth, and that there's very little hope

of them ever being rescued, well, it's...

it's very unsettling, isn't it?

And when we hear stories that involve

the likes of Amelia Earhart and Glenn Miller,

you have to wonder, is it possible that

any one of us could get lost and never be found?

Well, let's hope not.

But in any case, we can safely consider that

just what caused these infamous vanishings

lies in a chain of events that, for now,

remains unexplained.
