BERMUDA
TRIANGLE LATEST DISAPPEARANCES IN 21ST CENTUREY
Around 129 planes have disappeared over the
waters in the Bermuda Triangle between 1945 and 2008. After 2008, documented
cases of unexplained aircraft disappearances in the area simply seem to stop,
which deepens the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle even more. Detailed
information about aircraft disappearances that occurred during World War II and
shortly afterward can be found from numerous sources, as these events have
become legendary in the unexplained and paranormal world.
However, reports on
recent unexplained aircraft disappearances are much harder to find,
possibly because of advances in modern technology. The three most recent
include:
- 2005- June 20, a Piper PA- 23 vanished between Treasure
Cay, Bahamas and Ft Pierce, Florida with three people aboard
- 2007- April 10, a Piper PA- 46-310P disappeared near Berry
Islands with only the pilot on board
- 2008- December 15, a Britten Norman Islander vanished near
the Windward Islands with 11 passengers aboard
Not all disappearances
are related to mysterious circumstances, but the number is staggering when you
calculate the odds of so many aircraft and ships disappearing in a specific
region. Obviously, a percentage would be due to engine failures, squalls and
other sudden storms.
- June 18, 2003 - Frank and Romina Leone left Boynton Beach
Inlet, Florida in their 16-foot boat for a day excursion. They and their
boat were never found. The couple was fondly remembered in a June 24,
2003, SunSentinel article that reports Romina was looking
forward to her first fishing trip on the boat with her husband, Frank. The
Leones launched their boat on a Wednesday afternoon and when the young
couple failed to show up at each of their jobs in West Palm Beach in the
next couple of days, coworkers,friends and family feared the worst.
The Coast Guard launched a rescue mission early Friday morning, which
covered over 35,700 square miles from Miami to Savannah, Georgia before it
was called off around 6 pm the following Monday.
- October-November, 2003 - A fishing boat with the
tragically ironic name of "What's Left" was found capsized on a
beach near Cape Canaveral. In an article, human remains found on the boat
were believed to be one of the missing boaters: Gary Lisk, 61, Neil
Eddleman, 47 and son, Neil Allen Eddleman, 13, who left on October 17 for
a day fishing trip. The wreckage washed up 527 miles away from where the
trio had launched at Gordon Pass. How the boat ended up where it was found
baffled authorities, who could only speculate that the boat may have been
caught in the Atlantic Gulf Stream, a slow moving current that travels up
the eastern U.S. coast.
March 23, 2004 - A 19-foot fishing boat owned by 40-year-old fishing enthusiast Glen Jamison left Hudson, Florida around 4 am Sunday, and was scheduled to return that night. The boat was discovered 32 miles west of Egmont Key, Florida, but Jamison was missing. According to the St. Petersburg Times, although Jamison loved to fish he could not swim at all. When the boat was found, the engine was tilted up with fishing line wrapped around the propeller. A nearby knife led family members and authorities to the conclusion that Jamison had been trying to cut the fishing line off of the propeller when he fell overboard.
