You have certainly heard of the Bermuda Triangle, but what about the Alaska Triangle?
It is considered more dangerous.
According to The Atlantic magazine, 3,000 people disappear every year in Alaska. Most disappear into the wilderness of the so-called “Alaska Triangle”.
Since 1988, there have been more than 16,000 disappearances in the area forming the mysterious triangle, between the regions of Utkiagaviq (also known as Barrow), Anchorage, and Juneau, the capital of Alaska.
In 1972, the area of the mysterious Alaska Triangle aroused the world's curiosity after the disappearance of a Cessna plane carrying American politicians in the city of Anchorage.
The United States government carried out a 39-day operation in search of politicians, using 40 military planes and 50 civilian planes. However, they never found debris, debris or corpses.
Alaska continued to accumulate thousands of cases 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, aged 35, when he was going to get a check in Anchorage. The other case is that of Richard Bennet, 39, who disappeared near the same city in 2005.
Ice and snow can erase the last vestiges of a person, as there are constant landslides, broken glaciers, rivers overflowing and dangerous slopes. All these phenomena make it possible for any explorer to skid, fall and disappear with ease.
On the other hand, there is no explanation for the disappearance of aircraft. According to the magazine Curiosity, among them are a military aircraft with 44 passengers in 1950 and the twin-engine Cessna 340 with five passengers in 1990.
But Alaska is the scene of many mysteries, one of which is a major case of UFO sightings and abductions.
