so bright that it can be seen even from an outer spaceship.
At 2:00 p.m. on December 5, 1945, five planes took off in fine weather from the airport of Florida, on a training task. Two hours later, the leader in the sky radioed that he was completely lost. Then there was silence. Another plane was sent to look for them and it also disappeared.
One of the largest ships that had disappeared in the Triangle was an American coal ship, 500 meters long. The weather was good, and there were no messages for help before it was gone. No broken ships or dead bodies have been found so far.
