The Mystery of the "Alaska Triangle": Disappearances and Legends
Alaska

Thousands of people disappear every year in the US state of Alaska, recalling the stories of the Bermuda Triangle, where planes and ships disappear without a trace.

According to The Atlantic magazine, 3,000 people disappear every year in Alaska. Most disappear in the wilderness of the so-called "Alaska Triangle".

The Alaskan Triangle has been compared to the famous Bermuda Triangle. It is estimated that in the last 100 years, the mysterious region has caused the destruction of 75 planes and the sinking of hundreds of ships causing more than a thousand deaths.

Easy to lose

Alaska has nearly 400 miles of mountain range, 12,000 rivers and more than 3 million lakes, so its geography is so compelling that one can get lost in the middle of nowhere.

Since 1988, there have been more than 16,000 disappearances in the area that forms the mysterious triangle, between the regions of Utkiagaviq (also known as Barrow), Anchorage and Juneau, the capital of Alaska.

The 1972 incident

In 1972, the mysterious area of ​​the Alaskan triangle aroused the curiosity of the world after the disappearance of a Cessna plane carrying American politicians in the city of Anchorage. Among the victims were Thomas Hale Boggs, leader of the United States House of Representatives, and Nick Begich, a congressman from Alaska.

The United States government conducted a 39-day operation to search for the politicians, using 40 military planes and 50 civilian planes. However, they never found any debris or corpses.

Unsolved disappearances

Alaska continued to accumulate thousands of unsolved disappearances. The Atlantic magazine describes the stories of two young men who mysteriously disappeared.

The first is Rick Hills, who disappeared in February 2004, at the age of 35, when he was about to get a checkup in Anchorage. The other case is that of Richard Bennet, 39, who disappeared near the same town in 2005.

Ice and snow can sweep away the last remains of a person, as there are constant landslides, broken glaciers, overflowing rivers and dangerous slopes. All these events make it possible for any explorer to fall and disappear very easily.

Disappearance of planes

On the other hand, there is no explanation for the disappearance of the planes. According to Curiosity magazine, they include a 44-passenger military plane in 1950 and a five-passenger twin-engine Cessna 340 in 1990. On average, five planes continue to disappear in the region each year.

Mysterious animal

As in any mystery story, there are also many legends about anthropomorphic animals that haunt travelers. These animals, as the locals say, tear people to pieces.

Some people refer to the myth of the so-called Kushtaka, the "Big Foot of Alaska", which, according to legend, wanders through the cold mountains with the intention of taking travelers to finish them or turn them into a Another term.

Possible explanations

Over the years, several theories have been put forward to explain the mystery. A theory created in 2016 by a group of meteorologists argues that the cause of the disappearances is the presence of "hexagonal clouds" that can cause very strong winds or "air bombs" capable of destroying or sinking ships and planes.

In the past, the mystery has been attributed to bubbles of methane gas from the bottom of the ocean, magnetic fields, giant waves, giant squid, or more metaphysical explanations, such as alternate dimensions, parallel universes, or alien abductions.

There is also a theory that glaciers are deceptive and appear solid, when in reality, they have deep crevasses where any airplane or human being can disappear.

In this way, the great secret of the Alaska Triangle may be that everything is buried in nature.
