Christopher Columbus

October 11, 1492 |  his sailors created the earliest myths. On the Santa Maria the ship was surrounded and stuck in seaweed for three days.  The sailors recognized seaweed as a sign of shallow waters, they were scared of being totally stuck by seaweed and being drugged down to the ocean floor. Columbus reported seeing a large flame of fire crash in the sea one night.  He also reported seeing a strange light in the distance a few weeks after the fire.  It could have been a meteor, it could have been aliens?

Flight 19

Flight 19 was the designation of a group of five General Motors TBF Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945, after losing contact during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 naval aviators on the flight were lost, as were all 13 crew members of a Martin PBM Mariner flying boat that subsequently launched from Naval Air Station Banana River to search for Flight 19.

A report by Navy investigators concluded that flight leader Lt. Charles C. Taylor mistook small islands offshore for the Florida Keys after his compasses stopped working, resulting in the flight heading over open sea and away from land. The report was later amended by the Navy to read "cause unknown" to avoid blaming Taylor for the loss of five aircraft and 14 men. The report attributed the loss of the PBM search aircraft to an explosion in mid-air while searching for the flight.

December 5th, 1945

 

To this day, no one knows where Flight 19 is.  The radio transmission with the crew was off putting enough to where the Navy could not confirm and official location on where they were at when they lost radio communication.  There are still missions to find the lost aircraft, but yet no luck.  During the 1940’s the US Navy used that area of water as a dumping ground for aircraft, many TBF Avenger Torpedo Bombers have been located, although the serial numbers are either unreadable or the serial numbers do not match those of Flight 19.

Philadelphia Experiment

Created By | Einstein and Nikola Tesla

1943 | A popular conspiracy theory alleging a secret U.S. Navy experiment where a destroyer, the USS Eldridge, was allegedly made invisible and teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk, Virginia. 

Its reported it was encased in a green fog/mist before teleporting”.  When it returned, the crewmen were fused into parts of the ship. Those who survived, some went insane. Others developed mysterious illnesses. But others still were said to have been fused together with the ship; still alive, but with limbs sealed to the metal.
