…the Lost Patrol Which Disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in 1945.

"On December 5th, 1945, a group of five Grumman TBM Avenger torpedo bombers went on a training mission, never to return again. They took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and allegedly disappeared somewhere above the area that has become known as the Bermuda Triangle.

Designated as Flight 19, this event would become the starting point of numerous conspiracy theories revolving around this infamous region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, most often defined as the area between Miami and the islands of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.

Once the bomber group was declared missing, a search party was sent out, only to face the similar fate. A total of 27 men were lost and declared dead. No official traces of their aircraft were ever recorded, but unofficial investigations captivated the imagination of many, as answers were scarce and the stamp of "top secret" overshadowed the incident…."

I still remember the book about the "Bermuda triangle"…

Yeah, and Flight 19 is probably the saddest part of the stories that I know… Not just all 5 Avengers, but the Search&Rescue plane, too…

Alien shenanigans is my guess hence the cover up by the Navy.
Sure would like to know what happened to them. I saw another show that theorized they landed in the Okeefeenoke swamp in Florida.

I thought this whole 'mystery' was cleared up years ago. Flight 19 screwed up its navigation got completely lost, radioed for help, told the base they were somewhere they weren't and thus no rescuers could find them. The one rescue plane was a Martin Mariner which had a big problem with fuel leaks. Someone saw a fireball in the sky and that was probably them. 'All the 'spooky' radio transmissions from Flight 19 never happened. Nothing to see here, folks.
