Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,417 --> 00:00:03,851
An area in the North Atlantic
2
00:00:03,875 --> 00:00:06,583
where ships vanish
into thin air.
3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:09,417
A mountain range
in the Nevada desert
4
00:00:09,542 --> 00:00:12,958
in which planes enter
but never return.
5
00:00:13,042 --> 00:00:16,750
And a notorious region
of the Alaskan wilderness
6
00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:20,625
that may contain a portal
to another world.
7
00:00:22,333 --> 00:00:25,333
We've all heard of
the infamous Bermuda Triangle.
8
00:00:25,458 --> 00:00:28,250
But the truth is that
there are numerous places
9
00:00:28,375 --> 00:00:30,708
all over the world
where ships, planes,
10
00:00:30,833 --> 00:00:33,208
and people enter, and then...
11
00:00:34,208 --> 00:00:35,792
just disappear.
12
00:00:35,917 --> 00:00:37,333
But why?
13
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:40,875
Do these locations
defy the laws of physics?
14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,083
Do they possess evil energy?
15
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:49,042
Or is it possible that there
are some places on Earth
16
00:00:49,167 --> 00:00:52,167
that we are simply
not meant to go?
17
00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:54,833
Well, that is what
we'll try and find out.
18
00:01:09,833 --> 00:01:12,333
In the western
part of the North Atlantic Ocean
19
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,042
lies a region where
numerous ships and airplanes
20
00:01:15,208 --> 00:01:18,167
have inexplicably disappeared.
21
00:01:19,375 --> 00:01:21,167
Although this notorious
area cannot be found
22
00:01:21,333 --> 00:01:23,500
on any official map,
23
00:01:23,625 --> 00:01:25,875
it has come to be
known all over the world
24
00:01:26,042 --> 00:01:28,833
as the Bermuda Triangle.
25
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:32,000
The Bermuda
Triangle's approximately
26
00:01:32,167 --> 00:01:34,375
500,000 square miles of water
27
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:37,250
between Bermuda, Miami,
and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
28
00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:41,792
In the area, planes will crash,
29
00:01:41,875 --> 00:01:43,833
ships will go missing.
30
00:01:43,958 --> 00:01:45,750
It's just absolute bedlam.
31
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:50,208
The Bermuda Triangle is
seen as a mysterious place
32
00:01:50,333 --> 00:01:53,000
just because it's
so big and vast,
33
00:01:53,125 --> 00:01:55,292
and lots of interesting
things happen there.
34
00:01:56,542 --> 00:01:59,542
It is very strange that you
have many ships lost there,
35
00:01:59,667 --> 00:02:04,500
and airplanes just went
missing with no explanation for it.
36
00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:06,667
Is that a coincidence,
or is there something
37
00:02:06,792 --> 00:02:08,333
nefarious at work?
38
00:02:09,708 --> 00:02:12,292
One of the
noteworthy incidents that took place
39
00:02:12,375 --> 00:02:14,167
in the Bermuda Triangle
is the disappearance
40
00:02:14,292 --> 00:02:16,042
of the USS Cyclops.
41
00:02:16,167 --> 00:02:21,000
In March of 1917, the
massive cargo vessel,
42
00:02:21,083 --> 00:02:23,417
which had a crew of 306 seamen,
43
00:02:23,542 --> 00:02:26,417
was navigating
through the Triangle
44
00:02:26,542 --> 00:02:29,792
when it mysteriously
went missing.
45
00:02:31,167 --> 00:02:34,917
No wreckage or
bodies were ever found,
46
00:02:35,042 --> 00:02:37,167
and over the years,
there have been hundreds
47
00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:40,167
of other seemingly
bizarre vanishings
48
00:02:40,292 --> 00:02:44,625
in this area that
have baffled experts.
49
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:48,958
The Bermuda Triangle is
one of the great mysteries
50
00:02:49,083 --> 00:02:50,667
in modern history.
51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,833
Now, of course,
hundreds of theories
52
00:02:53,958 --> 00:02:55,333
have been proposed.
53
00:02:55,458 --> 00:02:57,750
The first logical
theory is the weather.
54
00:02:59,167 --> 00:03:00,917
Maybe there was
a sudden hurricane
55
00:03:01,042 --> 00:03:02,667
that came out of nowhere.
56
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:05,792
Perhaps these
jets and these ships
57
00:03:05,917 --> 00:03:09,583
lost their way, and
perhaps that's the reason
58
00:03:09,708 --> 00:03:11,083
why all hands were lost.
59
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:12,708
That's a possibility.
60
00:03:12,875 --> 00:03:14,518
But when there are things
61
00:03:14,542 --> 00:03:17,333
that are difficult to solve,
62
00:03:17,458 --> 00:03:19,333
at that point people say, "Aha!
63
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:22,458
"There must be something
there beyond science
64
00:03:22,542 --> 00:03:24,417
that's making this happen."
65
00:03:26,167 --> 00:03:27,750
Is it possible that science
66
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:30,292
cannot explain some
of the disappearances
67
00:03:30,375 --> 00:03:33,167
that haven taken place
within the Bermuda Triangle?
68
00:03:34,417 --> 00:03:37,208
There are those who
believe that the answer is yes.
69
00:03:37,375 --> 00:03:39,000
And as evidence,
they point to perhaps
70
00:03:39,083 --> 00:03:42,625
the most infamous
mass disappearance
71
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:44,708
that has taken
place there to date.
72
00:03:53,208 --> 00:03:55,500
Five Navy torpedo bombers,
73
00:03:55,625 --> 00:03:57,833
collectively known as Flight 19,
74
00:03:57,958 --> 00:04:01,000
take off for what is supposed
to be a routine training mission
75
00:04:01,167 --> 00:04:03,333
over the Atlantic Ocean.
76
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:08,417
They took off
due east from Fort Lauderdale
77
00:04:08,542 --> 00:04:10,833
into the Bermuda Triangle.
78
00:04:12,708 --> 00:04:16,667
After they reached
their first stop on the run,
79
00:04:16,792 --> 00:04:17,833
they turned north.
80
00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:21,833
And that's when things
started to get crazy.
81
00:04:23,167 --> 00:04:26,167
Their compasses
started acting strange,
82
00:04:26,292 --> 00:04:29,333
and the crew started
getting really confused
83
00:04:29,458 --> 00:04:31,167
about what was going on.
84
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:32,625
One of the pilots
actually thought
85
00:04:32,750 --> 00:04:34,625
that they may have been
over the Florida Keys,
86
00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:37,750
which was nowhere near
where they were supposed to be.
87
00:04:39,208 --> 00:04:41,333
For over
four hours, ground control
88
00:04:41,417 --> 00:04:43,583
stayed in close radio
contact with the pilots
89
00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:46,958
as they tried to
find their bearings.
90
00:04:47,083 --> 00:04:50,333
Flight 19
was led by Commander Charles Taylor,
91
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:54,542
and the problem was that
Taylor didn't know where he was.
92
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:56,667
And not only was his
compass malfunctioning,
93
00:04:56,792 --> 00:04:58,167
it was getting dark.
94
00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:00,875
And so you can sort
of look at Flight 19
95
00:05:01,042 --> 00:05:04,583
as sort of the perfect storm
of bad things happening.
96
00:05:05,833 --> 00:05:08,875
At about
6:30 p.m., the planes
97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,917
ominously dropped off radar.
98
00:05:12,042 --> 00:05:16,625
The Navy immediately launched
a search and rescue operation,
99
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:19,917
but curiously, no
wreckage was ever found.
100
00:05:20,875 --> 00:05:26,542
All five planes
vanished without a trace.
101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,500
The pilots
were never heard from again.
102
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:35,250
Nothing has ever been
found that'd been lost.
103
00:05:35,375 --> 00:05:37,208
Almost equally bizarre
104
00:05:37,375 --> 00:05:40,000
was that one of the
search and rescue planes
105
00:05:40,167 --> 00:05:41,792
went missing as well.
106
00:05:42,917 --> 00:05:48,292
About two hours after
takeoff, a Mariner floating plane
107
00:05:48,375 --> 00:05:50,917
lost contact with the base.
108
00:05:52,417 --> 00:05:54,097
Another one of the
search and rescue planes
109
00:05:54,208 --> 00:05:56,000
came to take a look at the area
110
00:05:56,083 --> 00:05:57,958
and found nothing.
111
00:05:58,083 --> 00:06:01,792
This search and rescue
plane was completely missing.
112
00:06:03,708 --> 00:06:07,208
All told, 27 airmen disappeared
113
00:06:07,375 --> 00:06:09,333
in the Flight 19 incident.
114
00:06:09,417 --> 00:06:12,292
But how is it possible
that so many Navy pilots
115
00:06:12,375 --> 00:06:14,542
experienced malfunctions
with their compasses
116
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,333
that caused them to become lost
117
00:06:16,458 --> 00:06:18,083
and ultimately crash?
118
00:06:20,542 --> 00:06:22,875
Perhaps the answer can be
found by examining reports
119
00:06:23,042 --> 00:06:25,292
of not only bizarre vanishings
120
00:06:25,417 --> 00:06:29,417
but also other kinds
of strange occurrences
121
00:06:29,542 --> 00:06:32,417
that have taken place
in the Bermuda Triangle
122
00:06:32,542 --> 00:06:34,083
for centuries.
123
00:06:35,792 --> 00:06:37,667
Our first reports of
strange phenomena
124
00:06:37,792 --> 00:06:39,500
in the Bermuda
Triangle actually came
125
00:06:39,583 --> 00:06:42,583
from Christopher
Columbus in 1492.
126
00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:50,500
One night when they were
journeying through the area,
127
00:06:50,625 --> 00:06:54,833
he noticed these unusual
dancing lights across the water
128
00:06:54,958 --> 00:06:57,583
that he described
as small wax candles
129
00:06:57,708 --> 00:07:01,417
that would rise and
lower across the night sky.
130
00:07:01,542 --> 00:07:04,958
Columbus kept
copious diary notes,
131
00:07:05,042 --> 00:07:09,500
and these state that
he couldn't understand
132
00:07:09,667 --> 00:07:13,333
the strange lights
going up and down.
133
00:07:13,458 --> 00:07:16,500
But beyond that, he
reported that his compass
134
00:07:16,625 --> 00:07:18,917
started spinning wildly.
135
00:07:19,958 --> 00:07:22,542
This was something
extremely unusual.
136
00:07:23,542 --> 00:07:25,333
Curiously, Christopher Columbus
137
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:27,667
is not the only famous navigator
138
00:07:27,792 --> 00:07:32,417
to witness inexplicable
activity in the Bermuda Triangle.
139
00:07:33,542 --> 00:07:37,417
In 1928, pioneering
aviator Charles Lindbergh
140
00:07:37,542 --> 00:07:40,667
had a similarly
baffling experience.
141
00:07:41,875 --> 00:07:45,500
Charles Lindbergh
was on a nonstop flight
142
00:07:45,667 --> 00:07:48,583
between Havana in Cuba
143
00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:51,542
and St. Louis in Missouri.
144
00:07:51,667 --> 00:07:54,333
And over the Florida Straits,
145
00:07:54,458 --> 00:07:58,417
he suddenly encountered
this very strange haze
146
00:07:58,542 --> 00:08:01,500
that surrounded the aircraft.
147
00:08:01,625 --> 00:08:04,042
And he thought, "Well,
okay, if I climb higher,
148
00:08:04,167 --> 00:08:05,708
I should be able to lose it."
149
00:08:05,833 --> 00:08:07,500
But it seemed to follow him.
150
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,208
He couldn't see
anything around him at all.
151
00:08:10,333 --> 00:08:16,333
At the same time, his
compass started spinning wildly.
152
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:19,542
And this continued for hours
153
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:23,625
until finally the haze
started to disappear
154
00:08:23,708 --> 00:08:27,333
and he could see
beneath him the Bahamas.
155
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:29,792
And he knew at this point
156
00:08:29,917 --> 00:08:34,000
that he was now around
300 miles off course.
157
00:08:35,417 --> 00:08:37,292
So, obviously, he
recorrected himself
158
00:08:37,375 --> 00:08:39,250
and finished his journey.
159
00:08:39,375 --> 00:08:43,833
But it would definitely
seem as if Charles Lindbergh
160
00:08:43,917 --> 00:08:47,083
did experience the
same type of phenomena
161
00:08:47,208 --> 00:08:50,333
which could well have been
behind the disappearance
162
00:08:50,458 --> 00:08:52,875
of a number of planes
in the Bermuda Triangle.
163
00:08:54,458 --> 00:08:56,167
Do the anomalies witnessed
164
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:58,542
by both Christopher Columbus
and Charles Lindbergh
165
00:08:58,708 --> 00:09:02,833
suggest that unusual
phenomena may be responsible
166
00:09:02,958 --> 00:09:05,500
for causing airplanes
and ships to disappear
167
00:09:05,625 --> 00:09:07,708
in the Bermuda Triangle?
168
00:09:07,875 --> 00:09:11,958
And is it possible that science
does not have all the answers
169
00:09:12,042 --> 00:09:17,042
when it comes to what happens
in this area, as some believe?
170
00:09:18,542 --> 00:09:20,250
The fact that there
have been scores
171
00:09:20,375 --> 00:09:22,708
of rather mysterious
disappearances...
172
00:09:23,792 --> 00:09:26,417
with all hands on
board just disappearing
173
00:09:26,542 --> 00:09:28,792
off the face of the Earth,
174
00:09:28,917 --> 00:09:30,875
it means that it's possible
175
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,333
that perhaps none of
these disappearances
176
00:09:33,417 --> 00:09:35,542
will ever be
adequately explained.
177
00:09:36,875 --> 00:09:39,625
And so there is a chance
that 100 years from now,
178
00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:43,125
we'll still be debating
what happens
179
00:09:43,208 --> 00:09:44,792
in the Bermuda Triangle.
180
00:09:47,708 --> 00:09:50,000
Are the strange
incidents that happen
181
00:09:50,125 --> 00:09:53,000
in the Bermuda Triangle
just freak accidents?
182
00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:55,583
Or could there be
stranger forces at play,
183
00:09:55,708 --> 00:09:57,333
as many people believe?
184
00:09:57,458 --> 00:09:58,958
Perhaps the answer can be found
185
00:09:59,042 --> 00:10:02,833
by examining several
mysterious disappearances
186
00:10:02,917 --> 00:10:07,083
that have occurred in the
heart of the United States.
187
00:10:14,917 --> 00:10:18,167
On a bright, clear
morning in this small desert town,
188
00:10:18,333 --> 00:10:21,542
billionaire adventurer
and pilot Steve Fossett
189
00:10:21,667 --> 00:10:24,000
takes off for a scenic flight...
190
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:27,250
and is never heard from again.
191
00:10:30,250 --> 00:10:31,559
Fossett should have been back
192
00:10:31,583 --> 00:10:33,000
within about two hours.
193
00:10:33,125 --> 00:10:34,500
He didn't come back.
194
00:10:34,583 --> 00:10:37,458
The airport called
search and rescue,
195
00:10:37,542 --> 00:10:40,333
and what encompassed
was the biggest search
196
00:10:40,417 --> 00:10:43,333
for an aircraft in
Nevada of all time.
197
00:10:43,417 --> 00:10:45,250
It went on for days.
198
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:48,500
We've got 200 people looking.
199
00:10:48,667 --> 00:10:50,667
We haven't just hit
these areas once,
200
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:53,125
we have flown over
'em two, three, four times
201
00:10:53,250 --> 00:10:56,833
with different type of
aircraft at different altitudes.
202
00:10:56,917 --> 00:10:58,708
And then, on top of that,
203
00:10:58,833 --> 00:11:00,375
it wasn't just the
people in the air,
204
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:02,000
it wasn't just the
ground-pounders,
205
00:11:02,083 --> 00:11:04,018
but there was also people
at home that were looking.
206
00:11:04,042 --> 00:11:06,417
There were thousands
of people online
207
00:11:06,542 --> 00:11:08,250
that were looking
at Google Earth,
208
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:12,042
trying to see if they could find
some remnants or a crash site.
209
00:11:12,167 --> 00:11:14,958
In essence, they threw
every imaginable resource
210
00:11:15,042 --> 00:11:16,875
into finding Steve Fossett.
211
00:11:18,125 --> 00:11:20,018
Federal
investigators leading the search
212
00:11:20,042 --> 00:11:22,792
for Steve Fossett were
baffled by his disappearance
213
00:11:22,875 --> 00:11:26,833
because he was a
highly experienced pilot.
214
00:11:26,958 --> 00:11:31,000
Steve Fossett had set
some 91 aviation records,
215
00:11:31,125 --> 00:11:35,667
including being the first person
to circumnavigate the globe
216
00:11:35,833 --> 00:11:39,000
in an airplane solo
without refueling.
217
00:11:39,125 --> 00:11:42,000
So that's why when
he went off on that day
218
00:11:42,125 --> 00:11:46,042
in an airplane and disappeared,
people were shocked,
219
00:11:46,208 --> 00:11:47,958
because this is not
something you expect
220
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:49,792
from somebody
like Steve Fossett.
221
00:11:51,208 --> 00:11:52,928
During the
search for Mr. Fossett,
222
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,583
the searchers came
across a multitude
223
00:11:56,708 --> 00:11:59,792
of other planes
that had crashed.
224
00:11:59,875 --> 00:12:02,167
Some they knew
about, a few they didn't.
225
00:12:02,250 --> 00:12:06,833
But what it tells you is
the quality of the search
226
00:12:06,917 --> 00:12:08,625
they made for him.
227
00:12:08,708 --> 00:12:12,208
It was intensive, and
they weren't finding him.
228
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:15,083
After a month of investigation,
229
00:12:15,208 --> 00:12:18,333
authorities stopped the
search for Steve Fossett.
230
00:12:18,458 --> 00:12:22,458
And then, in February of 2008,
231
00:12:22,583 --> 00:12:24,125
Fossett was
declared legally dead,
232
00:12:24,250 --> 00:12:26,333
even though both
he and his plane
233
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,083
were still missing.
234
00:12:29,333 --> 00:12:34,167
But what could have caused
such a highly skilled pilot
235
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:38,500
to seemingly disappear
off the face of the Earth?
236
00:12:41,042 --> 00:12:43,226
There are those who believe
the answer is tied to the fact
237
00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:46,333
that Fossett was
flying in what is known
238
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:49,208
as the Nevada Triangle.
239
00:12:50,292 --> 00:12:53,292
The Nevada
Triangle, it goes from Reno
240
00:12:53,375 --> 00:12:54,917
down to Las Vegas,
241
00:12:55,042 --> 00:12:57,500
and then over to Fresno,
and it's on the edge
242
00:12:57,667 --> 00:12:59,292
of the Sierra Nevada
mountain range.
243
00:12:59,375 --> 00:13:02,042
And the reason that it's
known as the Nevada Triangle
244
00:13:02,167 --> 00:13:05,167
is that some 2,000
mostly small aircraft
245
00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:10,167
have crashed within that
zone in the last 60 years.
246
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,167
It's seen as this kind
of Bermuda Triangle
247
00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:15,500
of the Sierra Nevada.
248
00:13:15,667 --> 00:13:17,125
While the Bermuda Triangle
249
00:13:17,208 --> 00:13:19,625
may be better known,
the Nevada Triangle
250
00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:21,750
is actually far more deadly.
251
00:13:22,875 --> 00:13:24,625
On average, nearly
three planes go missing
252
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:28,042
in this mysterious
area every month.
253
00:13:30,542 --> 00:13:32,583
One of the
earliest planes that disappeared
254
00:13:32,708 --> 00:13:35,542
in the Nevada Triangle
was from a flight
255
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:37,500
taken by a man
named by Charles Ogle.
256
00:13:38,917 --> 00:13:42,208
And Ogle, like Fossett, was
a successful businessman
257
00:13:42,333 --> 00:13:44,000
and a veteran pilot.
258
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:47,333
And so, for him to
disappear on a routine flight
259
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:49,167
was out of the ordinary.
260
00:13:49,250 --> 00:13:53,375
But he did, and his plane
is still out there somewhere.
261
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:55,833
So, that's still a mystery
of the Nevada Triangle
262
00:13:55,958 --> 00:13:58,083
that hasn't been resolved.
263
00:13:58,208 --> 00:14:00,542
Another famous
story of an airplane
264
00:14:00,667 --> 00:14:05,333
that crashed in the triangle
was a B-24 Liberator.
265
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:08,333
It was 1943, and this B-24
266
00:14:08,417 --> 00:14:12,458
took off from Fresno,
reported in a few times,
267
00:14:12,542 --> 00:14:15,500
and then just kind of
suddenly disappeared.
268
00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:18,583
And so the U.S. military
269
00:14:18,708 --> 00:14:21,167
immediately sent
out nine more B-24s
270
00:14:21,292 --> 00:14:23,000
to do searches.
271
00:14:23,125 --> 00:14:25,833
And then another
one disappeared.
272
00:14:25,958 --> 00:14:28,042
And so it became
part of the legend
273
00:14:28,208 --> 00:14:31,000
of the Nevada Triangle,
is you have two B-24s,
274
00:14:31,125 --> 00:14:33,458
these big lumbering
planes that are, you know,
275
00:14:33,583 --> 00:14:36,042
supposed to drop bombs
on places, et cetera,
276
00:14:36,167 --> 00:14:37,875
and they both go
down in the mountains
277
00:14:38,042 --> 00:14:40,958
somewhere between the
Nevada-California border.
278
00:14:42,375 --> 00:14:45,167
What is going
on in the Nevada Triangle
279
00:14:45,292 --> 00:14:47,958
that is causing so many
planes to disappear?
280
00:14:48,083 --> 00:14:51,125
Perhaps the answer can be
found by taking a closer look
281
00:14:51,250 --> 00:14:53,417
at the Steve Fossett case,
282
00:14:53,542 --> 00:14:58,000
because two years after
Fossett's plane vanished,
283
00:14:58,125 --> 00:15:03,292
it then seemed to
inexplicably reappear.
284
00:15:03,417 --> 00:15:05,917
In October of
2008, there's a hiker
285
00:15:06,042 --> 00:15:07,833
out in the Mammoth
Mountains area
286
00:15:07,958 --> 00:15:10,000
walking with his
dog, and he finds
287
00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:14,167
$1,000 in $100 bills
288
00:15:14,292 --> 00:15:17,667
and thinks that's kind of
interesting and unusual.
289
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:20,167
But also he found
the pilot's license.
290
00:15:20,292 --> 00:15:22,125
He started to
look at the license,
291
00:15:22,208 --> 00:15:23,684
and he realized,
"Wait, this is that guy
292
00:15:23,708 --> 00:15:25,333
that was missing."
293
00:15:25,417 --> 00:15:27,750
So he took it to
the local authorities,
294
00:15:27,875 --> 00:15:30,875
and then they mount a
new search of that area
295
00:15:31,042 --> 00:15:33,542
and they start
finding other things.
296
00:15:36,333 --> 00:15:39,000
They find the
engine of the plane,
297
00:15:39,167 --> 00:15:41,833
and they find a tail section
with the number on it
298
00:15:41,958 --> 00:15:44,583
which clearly identifies
it as the airplane.
299
00:15:45,792 --> 00:15:47,112
Also, they find a
pair of sneakers
300
00:15:47,167 --> 00:15:49,083
and a couple of bones.
301
00:15:49,208 --> 00:15:52,000
So, they take the bones,
they do DNA on 'em,
302
00:15:52,167 --> 00:15:56,167
and it turns out that it is
the remains of Steve Fossett.
303
00:15:58,417 --> 00:16:00,292
The intriguing part about this
304
00:16:00,375 --> 00:16:02,500
is that several
articles at the time
305
00:16:02,667 --> 00:16:05,500
stated that aircraft had
flown over the location
306
00:16:05,667 --> 00:16:07,917
where he was found 19 times.
307
00:16:09,042 --> 00:16:12,375
And somehow the
wreckage was missed.
308
00:16:12,542 --> 00:16:15,333
Also, people on the ground,
when they recovered his remains
309
00:16:15,458 --> 00:16:18,167
and the aircraft, stated that
there was even a small fire
310
00:16:18,333 --> 00:16:22,000
on the ground in close proximity
to where all of this happened.
311
00:16:22,083 --> 00:16:25,542
Discoloration of the
associated foliage
312
00:16:25,667 --> 00:16:29,167
would have been unusual
and something to look at
313
00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:31,083
by the people in the air.
314
00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:33,917
And so I don't have
a rational explanation
315
00:16:34,042 --> 00:16:36,333
how Steve Fossett's plane
316
00:16:36,458 --> 00:16:39,208
was missed 19
times from the air.
317
00:16:40,625 --> 00:16:43,667
How is it possible
that all of these searches
318
00:16:43,792 --> 00:16:45,833
missed this wreckage?
319
00:16:45,917 --> 00:16:49,167
I mean, there is
no obvious answer.
320
00:16:50,875 --> 00:16:53,833
But we have to
raise the question
321
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,833
of whether the
wreckage was not there
322
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,708
during the intervening period,
323
00:17:00,833 --> 00:17:02,917
and that Steve Fossett
324
00:17:03,042 --> 00:17:07,250
encountered one of these
mysterious anomalies
325
00:17:07,375 --> 00:17:09,917
that we know to be associated
326
00:17:10,042 --> 00:17:14,000
with the Bermuda and
Nevada Triangle regions.
327
00:17:14,083 --> 00:17:16,667
Steve Fossett's plane
could have actually gone
328
00:17:16,792 --> 00:17:18,750
into another
dimension for a year
329
00:17:18,875 --> 00:17:23,750
and then be ejected out of
it back into our own reality.
330
00:17:25,292 --> 00:17:27,333
When you look
at the Steve Fossett case
331
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:30,375
and you understand that
normal search and rescue
332
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,167
is gonna find this
pilot and the plane,
333
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:35,167
and somehow or another,
334
00:17:35,292 --> 00:17:37,167
it didn't happen
for over a year,
335
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:39,125
you have to ask yourself,
336
00:17:39,208 --> 00:17:42,417
was it there or was it not?
337
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:47,583
Do mysterious
anomalies within the Nevada Triangle
338
00:17:47,708 --> 00:17:50,167
cause planes to disappear?
339
00:17:50,292 --> 00:17:53,500
Perhaps. But many
researchers believe
340
00:17:53,625 --> 00:17:55,958
there is a much
more powerful triangle
341
00:17:56,083 --> 00:17:59,417
located in the American Midwest.
342
00:17:59,542 --> 00:18:02,125
It's an area of Lake Michigan
where thousands of ships
343
00:18:02,250 --> 00:18:05,792
have gone missing and
have never been found.
344
00:18:13,958 --> 00:18:17,000
Steven Kubacki, a
23-year-old student
345
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:18,667
at nearby Hope College,
346
00:18:18,792 --> 00:18:21,125
sets out for a day of
cross-country skiing
347
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,042
along the shore
of Lake Michigan.
348
00:18:24,042 --> 00:18:26,500
But by nightfall
it becomes clear
349
00:18:26,667 --> 00:18:30,208
that Steven isn't
going to return.
350
00:18:31,458 --> 00:18:33,875
Steven Kubacki told his
friends where he was going
351
00:18:34,042 --> 00:18:36,167
and that he'd be
back later that night.
352
00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:39,208
When he didn't return,
his friends called for help.
353
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,458
Search and rescue responded,
and Michigan State Police
354
00:18:43,583 --> 00:18:48,250
found his skis and a backpack
on the beach of Lake Michigan.
355
00:18:48,375 --> 00:18:50,417
And what happened is, is
that the search and rescue
356
00:18:50,542 --> 00:18:55,708
individuals found tracks going
from the beach and the backpack
357
00:18:55,833 --> 00:18:59,000
out onto the ice and ending.
358
00:18:59,083 --> 00:19:01,083
It was a one-way track.
359
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:05,000
They searched for over a week.
360
00:19:05,125 --> 00:19:07,042
They found no other evidence.
361
00:19:07,167 --> 00:19:09,000
Everybody thinks Kubacki's dead.
362
00:19:09,167 --> 00:19:11,625
Essentially, the case is closed.
363
00:19:13,250 --> 00:19:15,268
The authorities
concluded that Steven Kubacki
364
00:19:15,292 --> 00:19:17,875
had fallen in the
lake and drowned.
365
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:24,292
That is, until he mysteriously
reappeared over a year later,
366
00:19:24,375 --> 00:19:28,125
more than 600 miles away
from where he was last seen.
367
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:32,292
14 months later, Steven wakes up
368
00:19:32,375 --> 00:19:37,625
in Massachusetts approximately
20 miles from his dad's house.
369
00:19:37,708 --> 00:19:39,083
He makes his way there,
370
00:19:39,208 --> 00:19:41,708
and his parents
are just floored.
371
00:19:41,833 --> 00:19:43,542
They thought Steven was dead.
372
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,333
He has no idea how he got there,
373
00:19:46,458 --> 00:19:48,375
and the last memory
he said he had
374
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:51,583
was being on a very
cold Lake Michigan.
375
00:19:51,708 --> 00:19:54,375
So the million-dollar
question is: what happened
376
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:59,042
from the time he was on
Lake Michigan on a frozen lake
377
00:19:59,167 --> 00:20:02,250
to the time he arrives
in Massachusetts?
378
00:20:03,208 --> 00:20:04,488
It's a scenario
that's played out
379
00:20:04,583 --> 00:20:05,958
hundreds and hundreds of times
380
00:20:06,083 --> 00:20:07,583
on Lake Michigan on the shores.
381
00:20:07,708 --> 00:20:10,167
People disappear.
382
00:20:11,375 --> 00:20:12,667
They lose their memory,
383
00:20:12,792 --> 00:20:14,667
and suddenly they
appear someplace else.
384
00:20:14,792 --> 00:20:16,833
They don't have any
idea where they're at.
385
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:20,417
Steven Kubacki
is just one of many people,
386
00:20:20,542 --> 00:20:23,042
planes, and ships
to have gone missing
387
00:20:23,167 --> 00:20:26,458
in what is known as
the Michigan Triangle.
388
00:20:27,792 --> 00:20:29,667
The Michigan
Triangle is bordered
389
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:33,542
by Manitowoc, Wisconsin
and Ludington, Michigan,
390
00:20:33,708 --> 00:20:37,042
on the north side,
and the southeast point
391
00:20:37,167 --> 00:20:39,250
is the bottom of the
state of Michigan.
392
00:20:39,375 --> 00:20:41,542
In the Bermuda Triangle,
things just go missing.
393
00:20:41,667 --> 00:20:44,208
In the Michigan Triangle,
strange things happen.
394
00:20:44,333 --> 00:20:48,500
One ship went down
in the Michigan Triangle
395
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:51,333
and it turned turtle,
flipped upside down.
396
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:55,333
It was found upside down
with none of the 11 crew on it.
397
00:20:56,417 --> 00:20:57,851
One of the most famous stories
398
00:20:57,875 --> 00:21:00,917
from the Michigan
Triangle is Flight 2501,
399
00:21:01,042 --> 00:21:06,292
a Northwest Orient flight
from New York to Seattle
400
00:21:06,375 --> 00:21:08,458
back in 1950.
401
00:21:08,542 --> 00:21:11,875
It flew over the lake, vanished,
402
00:21:12,042 --> 00:21:17,250
and as advanced as technology
is today with side-scan sonar,
403
00:21:17,375 --> 00:21:18,917
they've gone up
and down that lake
404
00:21:19,042 --> 00:21:20,333
as recently as a year ago,
405
00:21:20,458 --> 00:21:23,250
and they still
cannot find that flight.
406
00:21:24,792 --> 00:21:27,208
What could be
causing the strange occurrences
407
00:21:27,333 --> 00:21:29,417
within the Michigan Triangle?
408
00:21:29,542 --> 00:21:32,375
Well, some researchers
claim they are the result
409
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:38,417
of a geological phenomenon
known as magnetotelluric current.
410
00:21:38,542 --> 00:21:40,184
The idea of telluric current
411
00:21:40,208 --> 00:21:43,167
is the concept that
planets will generate
412
00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:44,875
certain locations that have
413
00:21:45,042 --> 00:21:47,792
more electromagnetic
anomalies than others.
414
00:21:49,042 --> 00:21:53,458
And in these places,
just below the surface
415
00:21:53,542 --> 00:21:55,750
is actually a mixture
of minerals and salts
416
00:21:55,875 --> 00:21:58,500
and things in the ground
that are conductive.
417
00:21:58,583 --> 00:22:01,500
So there's an energy field
418
00:22:01,625 --> 00:22:04,958
that travels certain
paths around the Earth.
419
00:22:06,083 --> 00:22:08,167
Some
people have suggested that inside
420
00:22:08,333 --> 00:22:09,917
the Lake Michigan Triangle,
421
00:22:10,042 --> 00:22:13,708
where people have had
very strange disappearances,
422
00:22:13,833 --> 00:22:16,667
strange anomalies,
and many other things,
423
00:22:16,833 --> 00:22:20,375
it could be some kind of
geology mixed with Earth energies
424
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:22,417
and telluric currents
that cause this.
425
00:22:22,542 --> 00:22:24,625
And so we have to consider
there could be something
426
00:22:24,708 --> 00:22:26,333
much more profound
going on there
427
00:22:26,417 --> 00:22:27,833
than we currently realize.
428
00:22:29,333 --> 00:22:30,833
Is the Michigan Triangle
429
00:22:30,917 --> 00:22:34,000
affected by the energy
of the Earth itself?
430
00:22:34,125 --> 00:22:36,458
There are those who
believe the answer is yes,
431
00:22:36,542 --> 00:22:40,792
and as evidence they
point to a curious discovery
432
00:22:40,917 --> 00:22:44,708
that was made at the
bottom of Lake Michigan.
433
00:22:46,625 --> 00:22:50,458
In 2007,
underwater archaeologist
434
00:22:50,542 --> 00:22:54,458
Mark Holley of the
Northwestern University
435
00:22:54,542 --> 00:22:57,542
was diving in Lake Michigan.
436
00:22:57,667 --> 00:23:00,667
He was looking for shipwrecks,
437
00:23:00,750 --> 00:23:04,375
but he actually came across
something quite different.
438
00:23:04,542 --> 00:23:09,167
In 12 feet of water,
he found a series
439
00:23:09,250 --> 00:23:11,667
of standing stones
440
00:23:11,833 --> 00:23:15,625
that seemed to form
a circular pattern.
441
00:23:16,792 --> 00:23:19,375
What was interesting is
that amongst the stones
442
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:24,958
was what appeared to
be this carving of an animal
443
00:23:25,083 --> 00:23:28,458
known as a mastodon
that actually disappeared
444
00:23:28,583 --> 00:23:31,542
towards the end
of the last ice age.
445
00:23:31,667 --> 00:23:36,500
And so this stone structure
must have been down there
446
00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:39,333
for at least 10,000 years
447
00:23:39,458 --> 00:23:42,125
before the lake
took its final form
448
00:23:42,208 --> 00:23:44,042
at the end of the last ice age.
449
00:23:45,667 --> 00:23:48,458
The formation was
dubbed the Michigan Stonehenge
450
00:23:48,542 --> 00:23:50,458
due to its similarity
451
00:23:50,583 --> 00:23:52,542
to the world-famous
ancient monument
452
00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:55,083
located in Wiltshire, England.
453
00:23:55,208 --> 00:23:56,625
While we don't know specifically
454
00:23:56,708 --> 00:23:59,042
what the Michigan
Stonehenge was used for,
455
00:23:59,167 --> 00:24:03,083
there are a lot of ideas
about how other stone circles
456
00:24:03,208 --> 00:24:06,458
around the globe,
like Stonehenge,
457
00:24:06,583 --> 00:24:09,833
the Rollright Stones,
and Drombeg Circle,
458
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,708
were tapping into
the telluric current
459
00:24:12,833 --> 00:24:16,917
in the ground and
harnessing that Earth energy
460
00:24:17,042 --> 00:24:18,958
and these nodes of power.
461
00:24:20,792 --> 00:24:23,417
Stone circles
are found all over the world.
462
00:24:23,542 --> 00:24:27,333
Often, the stone circles
are placed very close
463
00:24:27,417 --> 00:24:31,333
to where this strange
phenomena can be seen.
464
00:24:31,417 --> 00:24:35,125
And this is very likely the case
465
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:37,667
with what we have
at Lake Michigan.
466
00:24:37,792 --> 00:24:42,458
So we have to ask ourselves,
what was this stone circle,
467
00:24:42,542 --> 00:24:44,583
and how did it
relate to the fact
468
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:48,833
that in the area around
Lake Michigan, to this day,
469
00:24:48,958 --> 00:24:52,500
there are a large
number of disappearances
470
00:24:52,625 --> 00:24:54,333
of planes and humans,
471
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:58,208
and is it possible that
the two are linked?
472
00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:03,000
The idea that electrical
currents in the Earth
473
00:25:03,083 --> 00:25:06,958
cause strange disappearances
inside the Michigan Triangle
474
00:25:07,083 --> 00:25:09,542
is certainly a
provocative theory.
475
00:25:09,667 --> 00:25:12,875
But something even more
bizarre may be happening
476
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,208
in a region of the
Alaskan wilderness,
477
00:25:15,375 --> 00:25:17,667
where it is believed that people
478
00:25:17,792 --> 00:25:21,750
cross over into
another dimension.
479
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:28,583
Alaska... here
among the rugged mountains,
480
00:25:28,708 --> 00:25:32,542
dense forests, and
towering glaciers
481
00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:35,333
lies a mysterious
stretch of wilderness
482
00:25:35,417 --> 00:25:39,500
where more than 16,000 people
483
00:25:39,667 --> 00:25:42,500
have gone missing since 1988.
484
00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:48,000
Locals refer to this area
as the Alaska Triangle.
485
00:25:48,167 --> 00:25:50,458
The Alaska
Triangle stretches from Juneau
486
00:25:50,542 --> 00:25:52,833
in the south to
Anchorage in the middle,
487
00:25:52,917 --> 00:25:54,542
all the way up to Utqiagvik
488
00:25:54,667 --> 00:25:57,333
at the most northern
point in Alaska.
489
00:25:57,458 --> 00:26:00,000
Like other triangle
areas of the world,
490
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:04,208
planes will crash,
people will go missing.
491
00:26:04,333 --> 00:26:07,542
But the Alaska Triangle
seems to be more volatile
492
00:26:07,708 --> 00:26:09,667
than other areas of the world.
493
00:26:11,250 --> 00:26:13,125
You have to remember that Alaska
494
00:26:13,208 --> 00:26:18,833
has some of the most
notoriously difficult terrain,
495
00:26:18,917 --> 00:26:20,083
weather...
496
00:26:21,792 --> 00:26:24,667
and it has the highest
number of private planes
497
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:26,625
anywhere in the United States.
498
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:29,500
So, in one sense
it's not surprising
499
00:26:29,667 --> 00:26:31,917
they have a number of
people that go missing there.
500
00:26:32,042 --> 00:26:35,958
In another sense
it's quite fantastic
501
00:26:36,042 --> 00:26:38,708
when you look at the
stories behind the missing.
502
00:26:40,042 --> 00:26:44,583
In January 1950, a
Douglas C-54D Skymaster
503
00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:47,833
taking off from
Elmendorf Air Force Base
504
00:26:47,958 --> 00:26:51,125
was headed toward Montana.
505
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:54,000
It was a beautiful day,
only a few clouds in the sky,
506
00:26:54,125 --> 00:26:58,083
yet just as it passed
over into Yukon Territory,
507
00:26:58,208 --> 00:27:01,708
the Air Force lost complete
radio contact with it.
508
00:27:04,208 --> 00:27:08,625
Both United States and
Canadian military forces teamed up,
509
00:27:08,708 --> 00:27:13,917
about 7,000 personnel
scanning 350,000 square miles
510
00:27:14,042 --> 00:27:17,333
of territory for this
missing airplane,
511
00:27:17,458 --> 00:27:19,333
and couldn't find a thing.
512
00:27:19,417 --> 00:27:22,792
But what's even stranger
is, just two weeks later,
513
00:27:22,917 --> 00:27:26,125
a smaller plane went
down in the same area.
514
00:27:27,458 --> 00:27:31,083
They were able to
find that immediately.
515
00:27:31,208 --> 00:27:35,542
Yet the larger
airplane, the Skymaster,
516
00:27:35,708 --> 00:27:38,500
they've never been
able to find a thing.
517
00:27:38,625 --> 00:27:40,708
It completely disappeared.
518
00:27:42,208 --> 00:27:44,667
When you
look at the Alaska Triangle,
519
00:27:44,792 --> 00:27:47,042
one of the few times a
search and rescue person
520
00:27:47,208 --> 00:27:49,292
has ever disappeared
was an individual
521
00:27:49,375 --> 00:27:50,833
named Gerald DeBerry.
522
00:27:50,958 --> 00:27:54,333
And he was on a search
outside of Fairbanks,
523
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:56,708
and he was on an ATV,
524
00:27:56,875 --> 00:27:58,833
and he never showed
back up after the search.
525
00:27:58,958 --> 00:28:01,625
The Alaska State
Troopers bring K-9s in,
526
00:28:01,708 --> 00:28:03,750
the K-9s can't find a scent.
527
00:28:03,875 --> 00:28:05,625
They bring
professional trackers in,
528
00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:07,167
they can't find tracks.
529
00:28:07,250 --> 00:28:10,000
And strangely, they
couldn't find the ATV.
530
00:28:10,125 --> 00:28:14,375
It was a year later,
a hiker finds the ATV,
531
00:28:14,542 --> 00:28:16,417
engine's turned off,
532
00:28:16,542 --> 00:28:19,000
and the Alaska
State Troopers went in
533
00:28:19,125 --> 00:28:21,167
and did another massive search.
534
00:28:22,792 --> 00:28:24,792
He's never been found.
535
00:28:26,083 --> 00:28:27,768
The number of
people that are reported missing
536
00:28:27,792 --> 00:28:29,667
in Alaska every
year is twice as high
537
00:28:29,792 --> 00:28:31,625
as the national average.
538
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:33,792
But can all of these
disappearances
539
00:28:33,917 --> 00:28:37,875
be explained by Alaska's
unforgiving wilderness?
540
00:28:38,042 --> 00:28:40,500
It's possible, but there
are those who believe
541
00:28:40,583 --> 00:28:43,292
that something
more extraordinary
542
00:28:43,417 --> 00:28:44,833
may be taking place.
543
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,333
And as evidence,
they point to stories
544
00:28:47,458 --> 00:28:50,750
in local folklore that
describe strange creatures
545
00:28:50,875 --> 00:28:54,208
suddenly appearing
out of thin air.
546
00:28:55,708 --> 00:28:58,375
Alaska's an area where
there are many unknowns,
547
00:28:58,542 --> 00:28:59,792
many mysteries.
548
00:28:59,875 --> 00:29:02,042
And there are very
common stories
549
00:29:02,167 --> 00:29:04,833
of what you might call
monsters in the lake.
550
00:29:05,917 --> 00:29:07,542
One of the very
compelling examples
551
00:29:07,667 --> 00:29:09,500
actually comes from
the Kenia Peninsula,
552
00:29:09,583 --> 00:29:11,250
on the southern part of it.
553
00:29:11,375 --> 00:29:14,167
There's an abandoned
town called Portlock.
554
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:17,875
It was a cannery town, a
very successful one early on.
555
00:29:18,042 --> 00:29:21,000
But it started
getting terrorized
556
00:29:21,167 --> 00:29:22,375
by a monster.
557
00:29:23,792 --> 00:29:26,708
So, this monster
would attack people,
558
00:29:26,833 --> 00:29:29,625
kill people, to the
point where, by 1950,
559
00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:31,875
the entire town was abandoned.
560
00:29:32,917 --> 00:29:36,708
This creature was
identified as the Nantinaq.
561
00:29:36,833 --> 00:29:38,375
Nantinaq can be
thought of very much
562
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:42,167
in the sort of wider tradition
of bigfoot or Sasquatch,
563
00:29:42,250 --> 00:29:46,292
somewhere on the slippery
slope between man and creature.
564
00:29:47,792 --> 00:29:49,208
Some people have suggested
565
00:29:49,333 --> 00:29:52,875
that these are entities
that live between worlds,
566
00:29:53,042 --> 00:29:54,958
that they come through portals,
567
00:29:55,083 --> 00:29:57,375
and they return
back through portals.
568
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:00,333
What this world is that they
come from, we don't know,
569
00:30:00,458 --> 00:30:01,792
but they're rarely seen.
570
00:30:01,875 --> 00:30:04,042
They often
disappear into thin air.
571
00:30:05,292 --> 00:30:07,708
So there is a good chance
that it's not just that people
572
00:30:07,833 --> 00:30:09,417
get lost in the wilderness.
573
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:13,375
But actually they're
being transported
574
00:30:13,542 --> 00:30:15,292
with these beings
to other realms.
575
00:30:17,125 --> 00:30:19,833
Could strange
creatures really be traveling
576
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,542
to the Alaska Triangle
from other realms?
577
00:30:23,708 --> 00:30:27,292
While such an idea may
sound like a far-fetched fantasy,
578
00:30:27,417 --> 00:30:32,750
many researchers claim
that it's entirely possible.
579
00:30:32,875 --> 00:30:34,458
Because scientists
have discovered
580
00:30:34,542 --> 00:30:38,125
that there are numerous
geological anomalies
581
00:30:38,208 --> 00:30:41,292
found throughout
this mysterious area.
582
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:45,167
The land in Alaska
is extremely volatile.
583
00:30:45,292 --> 00:30:47,833
The U.S. Department
of the Interior
584
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,667
did a geological
survey in the area
585
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:54,042
and discovered negative
magnetic anomalies
586
00:30:54,167 --> 00:30:56,083
that are prevalent in the area.
587
00:30:57,292 --> 00:30:59,875
They can wreak havoc
with guidance systems,
588
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,750
compasses, all kinds
of electronic equipment
589
00:31:02,875 --> 00:31:05,667
that can cause planes
and other vessels
590
00:31:05,833 --> 00:31:08,083
to go missing or crash.
591
00:31:08,208 --> 00:31:11,667
And there are theories
that these anomalies
592
00:31:11,833 --> 00:31:14,583
can spawn portals,
593
00:31:14,708 --> 00:31:17,250
these doorways into
other dimensions.
594
00:31:18,875 --> 00:31:21,208
While
geological activity in Alaska
595
00:31:21,333 --> 00:31:24,375
is known to cause
magnetic anomalies,
596
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:28,500
could it also be creating
portals in this area,
597
00:31:28,583 --> 00:31:30,792
as some believe?
598
00:31:30,917 --> 00:31:33,833
At the moment, we
can't say for sure.
599
00:31:33,958 --> 00:31:36,625
But one thing is certain...
600
00:31:36,708 --> 00:31:40,500
Hundreds, if not
thousands, of people
601
00:31:40,625 --> 00:31:45,625
continue to mysteriously
disappear in the Alaska Triangle
602
00:31:45,708 --> 00:31:47,250
every year.
603
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:51,375
As strange as it
seems, there are those
604
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,833
who are convinced
that energy portals
605
00:31:54,958 --> 00:31:58,250
are actually responsible
for many disappearances
606
00:31:58,375 --> 00:32:01,875
in the Alaska Triangle,
and some researchers claim
607
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,667
that there could
be an entire network
608
00:32:03,792 --> 00:32:09,417
of these interdimensional
hotspots all over the world.
609
00:32:19,375 --> 00:32:23,167
A Japanese research
vessel named Kaiyo Maru No. 5
610
00:32:23,292 --> 00:32:26,333
leaves harbor to
conduct scientific tests
611
00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:28,250
of the ocean floor.
612
00:32:29,708 --> 00:32:31,917
But shortly into the voyage,
613
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:33,792
the Japanese Navy
orders the ship to help
614
00:32:33,875 --> 00:32:37,667
investigate reports of
numerous fishing boats
615
00:32:37,792 --> 00:32:42,500
going missing in the ocean
just south of mainland Japan.
616
00:32:44,042 --> 00:32:47,875
The Japanese government
sent out nine scientists
617
00:32:48,042 --> 00:32:51,417
and 22 other crew members
on Kaiyo Maru No. 5
618
00:32:51,542 --> 00:32:54,458
to discover what was happening
to these missing vessels.
619
00:32:55,958 --> 00:32:57,625
But within a couple hours,
620
00:32:57,708 --> 00:33:00,458
all contact with
the ship was lost,
621
00:33:00,583 --> 00:33:04,583
and all they ever found
of their investigative vessel
622
00:33:04,708 --> 00:33:07,958
were some remnants of
the ship floating in the water.
623
00:33:08,958 --> 00:33:11,208
No bodies were ever found.
624
00:33:12,708 --> 00:33:16,083
When
the Kaiyo Maru No. 5
625
00:33:16,208 --> 00:33:21,000
went missing without a
trace in the very same area,
626
00:33:21,125 --> 00:33:24,125
this convinced the
Japanese government
627
00:33:24,208 --> 00:33:28,333
that this region was
so dangerous to ship in
628
00:33:28,458 --> 00:33:31,958
that it should be
avoided at all costs.
629
00:33:34,083 --> 00:33:36,208
Technically,
the area of the Pacific Ocean
630
00:33:36,375 --> 00:33:38,333
located directly south of Japan
631
00:33:38,458 --> 00:33:41,667
is referred to as
the Philippine Sea.
632
00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:44,167
But for centuries
it has been known
633
00:33:44,292 --> 00:33:47,083
by another, more
infamous nickname...
634
00:33:47,208 --> 00:33:50,500
The Dragon's Triangle.
635
00:33:50,625 --> 00:33:55,167
The Dragon's Triangle, also
known as the Devil's Sea,
636
00:33:55,292 --> 00:33:59,833
is an area between
Japan in the north,
637
00:33:59,958 --> 00:34:01,917
the Philippines in the south,
638
00:34:02,042 --> 00:34:05,583
and the island of
Guam in the east,
639
00:34:05,708 --> 00:34:09,333
and it's somewhere that
for many hundreds of years
640
00:34:09,417 --> 00:34:12,417
has been considered one
of the most dangerous places
641
00:34:12,542 --> 00:34:14,667
on Earth.
642
00:34:14,792 --> 00:34:18,208
There's mythology
about the Dragon's Triangle
643
00:34:18,333 --> 00:34:22,042
going back to the year 1275,
644
00:34:22,167 --> 00:34:25,167
when the Mongol
hordes invaded Japan.
645
00:34:25,333 --> 00:34:27,333
At that point, it
looks as if Japan
646
00:34:27,500 --> 00:34:30,333
was gonna be
overwhelmed by the Mongols.
647
00:34:30,458 --> 00:34:34,375
But then a tremendous
wind destroyed the fleet
648
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:37,208
of the Mongols, and the Japanese
649
00:34:37,333 --> 00:34:39,583
called it God's Wind...
650
00:34:40,667 --> 00:34:43,000
because it destroyed
the Mongol fleet
651
00:34:43,167 --> 00:34:45,958
about to invade Japan.
652
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:48,833
Perhaps it was nothing
more than typhoons
653
00:34:48,958 --> 00:34:51,458
that suddenly erupted,
drowning ships.
654
00:34:51,542 --> 00:34:54,167
But some people
think that perhaps
655
00:34:54,250 --> 00:34:56,125
all the disappearing
of the ships
656
00:34:56,250 --> 00:35:00,125
is due to some mysterious
spirit of some sort.
657
00:35:00,250 --> 00:35:02,958
And so this is a
matter of legend
658
00:35:03,083 --> 00:35:05,333
that goes back
thousands of years.
659
00:35:06,792 --> 00:35:08,833
Is the Dragon's Triangle
660
00:35:08,958 --> 00:35:11,042
merely the site of
powerful typhoons
661
00:35:11,167 --> 00:35:14,125
that cause ships to sink?
662
00:35:15,458 --> 00:35:18,583
Or could there be something
far more incredible going on?
663
00:35:22,708 --> 00:35:25,042
Perhaps the answer can be
found by examining a theory
664
00:35:25,167 --> 00:35:27,917
which suggests that
the Dragon's Triangle
665
00:35:28,042 --> 00:35:30,000
is directly connected
666
00:35:30,125 --> 00:35:34,458
to other mysterious
triangular regions
667
00:35:34,542 --> 00:35:37,000
around the globe.
668
00:35:37,083 --> 00:35:39,667
In 1972,
Ivan T. Sanderson,
669
00:35:39,750 --> 00:35:43,708
who was a biologist and
author, produced a paper called
670
00:35:43,833 --> 00:35:47,250
"The 12 Devil's Graveyards
Around the World."
671
00:35:48,417 --> 00:35:51,833
And this caused a
sensation because he noted
672
00:35:51,958 --> 00:35:54,625
that places like the
Bermuda Triangle
673
00:35:54,750 --> 00:35:59,333
and the Dragon's
Triangle, or the Devil's Sea,
674
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:03,333
were part of this global
system marking ten points
675
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:06,417
on the surface of the Earth
676
00:36:06,542 --> 00:36:09,125
where strange
occurrences kept happening.
677
00:36:10,208 --> 00:36:12,542
Sanderson
predicted that the Earth
678
00:36:12,708 --> 00:36:17,833
was covered by a series
of what he referred to
679
00:36:17,958 --> 00:36:20,458
as "vile vortices."
680
00:36:21,542 --> 00:36:25,500
Five of these were
located in a latitude
681
00:36:25,667 --> 00:36:30,333
known as the Tropic of Cancer
on the north of the Equator,
682
00:36:30,458 --> 00:36:33,833
and five of them were to
the south of the Equator
683
00:36:33,958 --> 00:36:35,833
on the Tropic of Capricorn.
684
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,500
And the remaining two
685
00:36:37,625 --> 00:36:40,167
were at the North Pole
and the South Pole.
686
00:36:40,292 --> 00:36:44,500
And these were
locations around the world
687
00:36:44,625 --> 00:36:48,708
where there were
disappearances of vessels
688
00:36:48,833 --> 00:36:53,625
and other strange
occurrences on a regular basis.
689
00:36:55,542 --> 00:36:57,917
Many researchers
find Ivan T. Sanderson's theory
690
00:36:58,042 --> 00:36:59,667
to be compelling,
691
00:36:59,792 --> 00:37:03,750
even if not every
mysterious triangular area
692
00:37:03,875 --> 00:37:05,708
reported to exist on the planet
693
00:37:05,875 --> 00:37:07,833
is located in a vile vortice.
694
00:37:09,542 --> 00:37:12,083
And they claim that the
pattern he discovered
695
00:37:12,208 --> 00:37:15,875
suggests that the
disappearances within these areas
696
00:37:16,042 --> 00:37:20,500
may be due to
vast global forces.
697
00:37:20,667 --> 00:37:22,375
When we're looking
at these locations
698
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:24,208
of these triangles
that are placed
699
00:37:24,333 --> 00:37:26,333
at specific points
around the planet,
700
00:37:26,417 --> 00:37:30,667
we are looking at things
like gravitational anomalies,
701
00:37:30,792 --> 00:37:33,333
instrument malfunctions,
702
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,250
magnetic anomalies,
703
00:37:36,375 --> 00:37:38,250
and many other
strange occurrences,
704
00:37:38,375 --> 00:37:40,667
all within these
specific triangles.
705
00:37:40,833 --> 00:37:44,458
So we have to question, is
there a deeper mystery here
706
00:37:44,542 --> 00:37:46,875
that we don't yet
fully understand?
707
00:37:49,208 --> 00:37:52,708
If pockets of unstable energy
708
00:37:52,833 --> 00:37:56,417
are causing bizarre
vanishings around the globe,
709
00:37:56,542 --> 00:37:58,958
then it naturally
begs the question,
710
00:37:59,083 --> 00:38:01,458
what could be powering them?
711
00:38:01,583 --> 00:38:04,542
Well, according to one
extraordinary theory,
712
00:38:04,708 --> 00:38:08,333
the source may be
an enormous crystal
713
00:38:08,417 --> 00:38:10,667
embedded within the Earth.
714
00:38:14,375 --> 00:38:16,417
Bermuda, Michigan,
715
00:38:16,542 --> 00:38:20,167
Nevada, Alaska, Japan...
716
00:38:20,333 --> 00:38:22,458
Countless ships,
planes, and lives
717
00:38:22,583 --> 00:38:25,042
have been lost in these areas.
718
00:38:25,167 --> 00:38:26,875
So many, in fact,
that some people
719
00:38:27,042 --> 00:38:30,250
refer to them collectively
as the Devil's Triangles.
720
00:38:31,708 --> 00:38:33,542
Is it possible that
all of these areas
721
00:38:33,667 --> 00:38:38,167
are somehow connected,
as many researchers believe?
722
00:38:38,250 --> 00:38:40,625
Perhaps a clue can
be found with a theory
723
00:38:40,708 --> 00:38:44,500
which proposes that the
nature of the Earth itself
724
00:38:44,625 --> 00:38:49,792
may be far different from
what we commonly think.
725
00:38:51,333 --> 00:38:53,542
There is a theory that the Earth
726
00:38:53,708 --> 00:38:56,500
early in its history had a core
727
00:38:56,625 --> 00:38:59,625
that was completely
liquid but was cooling.
728
00:39:00,583 --> 00:39:02,667
And as it cools, there
would come a point
729
00:39:02,792 --> 00:39:06,500
where the center of the
Earth would crystallize.
730
00:39:06,625 --> 00:39:09,458
And if you keep
growing that crystal,
731
00:39:09,542 --> 00:39:12,667
it's very likely to
become polycrystalline,
732
00:39:12,792 --> 00:39:14,833
meaning that there's
lots of crystals.
733
00:39:14,917 --> 00:39:17,333
And so, over a period
of billions of years,
734
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,833
you end up with
something that is a solid
735
00:39:19,958 --> 00:39:24,333
in a region of the Earth
consisting of many crystals.
736
00:39:25,542 --> 00:39:26,684
When
you're looking at the center
737
00:39:26,708 --> 00:39:28,333
of the Earth being a crystal,
738
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:31,125
crystals have facets
on their surface.
739
00:39:31,250 --> 00:39:33,125
And, really, crystals
are also known
740
00:39:33,250 --> 00:39:34,500
for storing energy,
741
00:39:34,667 --> 00:39:36,333
and their different
facets and points
742
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:37,851
will have different
levels of energy.
743
00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:41,667
This is certainly part of
why we have anomalies
744
00:39:41,792 --> 00:39:44,125
on the Earth's surface,
and why they vary
745
00:39:44,250 --> 00:39:45,875
around the surface of the Earth.
746
00:39:47,125 --> 00:39:48,750
Is the center of the Earth
747
00:39:48,875 --> 00:39:53,417
really a giant crystal
filled with energy?
748
00:39:53,542 --> 00:39:56,833
According to some scientists,
it's a distinct possibility.
749
00:39:58,542 --> 00:40:00,542
And there are those who
believe that if the Earth
750
00:40:00,708 --> 00:40:03,375
really has a crystal core,
751
00:40:03,500 --> 00:40:05,625
it might explain why
some areas of the planet
752
00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:08,833
are home to mysterious
disappearances
753
00:40:08,958 --> 00:40:11,625
and strange phenomena.
754
00:40:14,250 --> 00:40:17,833
In the early
1970s, three Russian scientists
755
00:40:17,917 --> 00:40:21,542
produced a paper called "Is
the Earth a Large Crystal?"
756
00:40:21,708 --> 00:40:24,500
They believed that
this angular crystal
757
00:40:24,625 --> 00:40:27,208
could have actually been
at the center of the Earth,
758
00:40:27,375 --> 00:40:31,000
and they believed that
the energetic signatures
759
00:40:31,167 --> 00:40:35,833
of the points of this crystal
could be witnessed energetically
760
00:40:35,958 --> 00:40:38,875
and noted on the
Earth's surface.
761
00:40:39,958 --> 00:40:41,833
Incredibly, the study revealed
762
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,042
that the points of the
hypothetical crystal
763
00:40:44,167 --> 00:40:47,875
aligned with many of the
so-called Devil's Triangles
764
00:40:48,042 --> 00:40:49,500
around the globe.
765
00:40:49,583 --> 00:40:53,000
It would seem that
electromagnetic phenomena
766
00:40:53,083 --> 00:40:57,292
is present that seems
to mark out this grid,
767
00:40:57,375 --> 00:41:01,042
and that it is at such locations
768
00:41:01,208 --> 00:41:05,458
where these disappearances
and vanishes occur,
769
00:41:05,542 --> 00:41:10,667
and therefore they are
seen as dangerous locations,
770
00:41:10,750 --> 00:41:14,542
places where human beings,
where human life can be lost.
771
00:41:15,542 --> 00:41:17,875
We need to get to
grips with these ideas
772
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,708
if ever we want to
start understanding
773
00:41:20,875 --> 00:41:25,375
the disappearances and
crashes and similar incidents
774
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:28,667
taking place in such places.
775
00:41:32,292 --> 00:41:33,625
So, what do you think?
776
00:41:33,750 --> 00:41:35,625
Are there strange
forces on our planet
777
00:41:35,708 --> 00:41:39,167
that cause people to simply
vanish without a trace?
778
00:41:39,250 --> 00:41:41,750
It's a hard concept to
prove, but what's undeniable
779
00:41:41,875 --> 00:41:44,542
is that certain areas
seem to swallow up
780
00:41:44,708 --> 00:41:46,208
those who enter them.
781
00:41:46,333 --> 00:41:49,667
And so, until science
can provide us
782
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:52,000
with more answers,
it's probably best
783
00:41:52,167 --> 00:41:56,167
to avoid these mysterious places
784
00:41:56,292 --> 00:41:58,000
and allow them to remain...
785
00:41:59,458 --> 00:42:01,333
unexplained.
786
