After an exhaustive search, no remains of the device could be located, and the exact place of its disappearance was never established.

"No remains of the device"? Did they mean "no remains of the aircraft"?

Reminds me of that other 1956 bomber crash in the Bermuda Triangle—the 1956 crash of a B-25 Mitchell into the Monongahela River. It's wreckage has never been found.

Of course back in 1956 the Bermuda Trangle was much larger, extending all the way to Pittsburgh. But due to global warming in the intervening years, the Bermuda Triangle has shrunk considerably. The last living person to know the exact location of the Bermuda Triangle was the late Robert Stack. It's an unsolved mystery to this day.

B-47s had a bad problem of catastrophic wing failure. Probably has a wrong separate out over the ocean, nobody got out, and it all went to the bottom of the Atlantic.
It was a fatigue problem created by a toss bombing technique that pulled a lot of Gs

The B-47 was a medium range 1950s era bomber. It was not much bigger than a modern fighter jet.
