I’m not saying it was Martians.

Most likely caught in a hurricane.

Possibly. We did not have weather radar back in those days. Very easy for a hurricane to develop in the ocean and peter out without anybody really knowing it ever existed.

It’s okay, they were returned in 1977 on top of Devil’s Tower.

Or even a very strong tropical storm. Or they just fouled up navigation somehow.

We don’t get hurricanes in winter.

One hit New England during February 6-7 of 1978.
I was there for it.

There is no Bermuda Triangle. It’s a myth made to sell a grocery store paper. any similarly trafficked piece of coast has just as many “mysterious” disappearances. Oceans eat things. Just how it goes.

So some oceans are just more voracious than others...? ;-)

No. Like I said, the disappearance rate is the same in the Bermuda triangle as any other same sized same trafficked spot of ocean. Only this spot happened to be near a half assed “journalist” trying to sell papers.

Actually, I believe it was the desert in Mexico.
Ironically, watching that movie right now (haven’t gotten to that scene yet).

Between having no weather radar and flying in the waters east of Florida (notorious for highly changeable weather), no wonder that squadron was lost.

But possible. it’s either weather or navigational error.

They trusted the force rather than their instruments.

I would guess spatial disorientation.
The compasses were probably all correct but the lead pilot somehow didn’t believe his.
He flew by seat of his pants instead of sound aviation techniques.

Bingo. But that doesn’t explain how my ex-wife made my money disappear.
