Disappearing Planes, Bases In The Mountains And The Black Pyramid – Is There Any Truth In The Alaskan Triangle?
The forty-ninth state of the United States, Alaska, features some of the most beautiful, yet deadly and unremorseful terrain and geology on the planet. It is also host to many strange tales of unusual phenomena, UFO sightings, and numerous disappearances – not only of people but in some cases of entire planes as well as the people on board them.
Forty-four people were on board the Douglas C-54-D US military passenger plane as it seemingly vanished into thin air, for example. The incident happened during its journey from Alaska to Texas on 26th January 1950. No wreckage or survivors were ever found. The last known communication with the plane had come while they were over the Yukon village of Snag in Canada. Shortly after, the sizeable aircraft just simply disappeared.
A search mission was launched, with both the American and Canadian Airforces contributing to the effort. The weather conditions were hazardous in themselves, and two planes crashed in the search for the C-54. On 20th February, after three and a half weeks of trying to locate any sign of the plane or the passengers, the search was called off.
There have been many theories as to what happened that evening. Some state that the pilot may have been forced to land due to the bad weather, and given the inhospitable terrain they would have been flying over, the only place perhaps to have done this was on an iced-over lake. It is thought if the people on board perished due to the elements, once the spring arrived, the ice would have melted and the plane would have vanished to the bottom of the water.

The Strange Disappearance Of Hale Boggs
Over two decades later, another strange plane disappearance captivated much of North America. In October 1972, Democratic congressman, Hale Boggs, appeared to vanish from the face of the Earth while being flown in a small plane over Alaska. Despite a huge rescue effort, the plane and its four passengers (including Boggs) have never been found.
Over the years, there have been numerous conspiracy theories surrounding his disappearance and assumed death, not least of which due to his connections to the 'Warren Commission' and the investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963.
At the time of his death, Boggs was said to be putting pressure on whomever he could to have the investigation into President Kennedy’s death reopened. However, in 2004, his daughter, Cokie Roberts, denied this was the case during a radio interview, and that her father had no issue with the findings of the commission. This perhaps only added to the grim mystery.

This perhaps only added to the grim mystery.
There is information in the form of since-released FBI files that state a tip-off was given to them in the days following the incident. A man, who the FBI allegedly found very credible, stated that he knew where the crash site was. Although the FBI didn’t follow up this lead, at least publicly, the phone number where the mystery man rang from was contained in the files and subsequently traced to a Pro-life organization, named “Right To Life”. One of the people connected to this organization was also close to President Richard Nixon. Coincidence? Very probably, but it certainly adds yet another dimension to the whole affair. You can read in a little more details about the Boggs disappearance here.
Others, however, state the answer to what happened is more akin to theories about planes that have vanished in the Bermuda Triangle. There is a supposed vortex created by the relatively unusual magnetic fields present in the area, and it is this that caused the plane to vanish. The area where the plane last communicated from is said to be in what some refer to as the Alaskan Triangle.
It isn’t just planes that are said to go missing over the Alaskan Triangle – sometimes referred to as the Alaskan Bermuda Triangle. According to some reports, over 16,000 people have gone missing there since 1988 – both tourists and locals alike.
The Alaskan Triangle is said to run from a point in the upper north of Alaska, Barrow, right the way down to the capital, Juneau (which on its takes in the south-west of the Yukon), and then to the west at Anchorage.

The native Tlingit tribe, who inhabit the area close to Juneau, firmly believe that an evil spirit roams this area, who they call, Kushtaka. This spirit, or demon, is able to “shapeshift” and is said to kidnap those who become lost or venture too deep into the wilderness and takes them to his realm.
Others believe that there are unusual electromagnetic anomalies in the area that cause equally unusual phenomena. Theories range from this phenomenon causing hallucinations and disorientation in people to much more fringe theories that the unusual release of energy sometimes creates a vortex or stargate to another world or dimension.
More mainstream theories as to these all too real disappearances suggest that the area itself is some of the harshest and most remote parts of the planet. Should a person become lost or even injured here, they become a “needle in a haystack” as far as rescue efforts go, and an easy target for the elements, various dangerous animals native to the area or the geology of the terrain itself.
There have also been numerous UFO sightings throughout Alaska. Perhaps the most famous occurred in 1986.

The Japan Air Lines Flight 1628 Incident
While flying over north-eastern Alaska, on its way to Paris from Tokyo, the flight crew of Japan Air Lines Flight 1628, were witness to an event that would change their lives.
Just after 5 pm, Captain Kenju Terauchi, who was an experienced pilot, noticed two strange brightly lit craft below and to the left of the plane. As the cold war was still in full swing, and due to Alaska’s close proximity to the Soviet Union, Terauchi assumed these to be US military planes, who regularly patrolled the Alaskan skies. However, he soon came to the realization that the crafts were following him.
Several minutes later, the craft suddenly appeared dead in front of Flight 1628. Their light shone so brightly in the cockpit of the plane that Terauchi claimed he could feel their warmth on his face. Communications from the plane to the control tower on the ground were also affected periodically, becoming scrambled with interference, and despite the object flying steadily in front of the plane, radar operators could not see anything on their systems.
Then, as quickly as the objects had appeared in front of the plane, they moved back to the left of it. However, now the crew could see a much larger craft. Terauchi at first described it as a “flat pale white light” – but soon realized that he was looking at a “mothership” that he described as being as large as two aircraft carriers.
By the time Air Traffic Control aircraft had launched two planes to investigate the claims from Terauchi, the objects had disappeared.
Unlike many airline pilots who avoid reporting such experiences, Terauchi was eager to do so. So much so that when he did speak to the press, Japan Air Lines removed him from pilot duty and instead gave him a desk job. The official findings of the inquiry into the sightings were released the following year and stated that although the airline firmly believed the pilot’s descriptions of what they saw, there was not enough proof to “support” their version of events.
Check out the short videos below regarding the incident and you can read about this incident in a lot more detail here.

Alien Bases In The Mountains
The JAL Flight 1628 incident is just one of many alleged sightings in the region, and some people believe they know why the area is such a “hot-bed” of such activity. According to the alleged “remote viewer”, Pat Price, Mount Hayes, one of the most beautiful and arresting mountains in Alaska is, in fact, an alien base. Perhaps more chilling, if you subscribe to his theory, these aliens manipulate “thought transfer for motor control of us!”
They are apparently very human looking, although there are minor differences in their genetic makeup such as their heart and lungs, as well as their eyes. While many dismiss Price’s claims as pure nonsense, there are at least some circumstantial facts that lend a little credibility to at least the possibility of his claims being correct.
There have been numerous sudden faults reported from aircraft pilots flying over Mount Hayes. Recently declassified FBI reports also tell of how the government was carrying out very real and genuine investigations around the area, and Alaska as a whole, in the late 1940s and 1950s.
There were several reported cases from experienced pilots and military personnel that were fully documented in the released files. It is clear that the FBI was taking the reports of UFOs in the area very seriously.

According to the documents, in 1947 an experienced pilot witnessed what he described as a “flying wing” near the town of Bethel. Perhaps interestingly the pilot stated the object appeared to be traveling to the aforementioned town of Nome.
In January 1950, the US Navy had reported to the FBI of several unidentified objects being seen in the area of Kodiak. The incident lasted for two days and it was claimed that the interference with their radars was “a type never before experienced!”
The region’s apparent UFO activity was exploited somewhat in 2009, in particular, the small town of Nome.
Between 1960 and 2004 twenty-four people disappeared from the small town of Nome. The FBI investigated the area and the disappearances in 2005 and came to the conclusion that they were largely the result of “excessive alcohol consumption and a harsh winter climate!"
Perhaps though, some of these theories are due to the 2009 film 'The Fourth Kind', which appeared to tap into the belief of UFO activity and alien abductions. The film promoted itself as a documentary, even putting out supposedly real news stories from the town’s past to tap into the disappearances. They were later forced to remove them from the Internet when they were proven to be untrue.
These fake stories, however, had seeded the idea in many people’s minds, and despite the evidence suggesting that the disappearances probably were more in line with the FBI’s findings in their 2005 report, many still believe the area is a hot-bed of activity for extra-terrestrial visitors. In many ways, Nome is a good example of truth meeting fiction and creating legend and myth.
Others, however, firmly believe the disappearances are the result of alien abductions. There have been UFO sightings and claims of strange lights and orbs in the area for many years. You can view the trailer of 'The Fourth Kind' below.

Ancient Alien Presence And The Black Pyramid
Maybe one of the strangest legends of Alaska came to the public arena relatively recently in 1992, when Channel 13 Anchorage reported a news story regarding an apparent discovery of a huge pyramid buried underground, about fifty miles from Mount McKinley. The story stated that three scientists, in anticipation of a nuclear test by the Chinese government, had set up seismic recording equipment around the area. By pure accident, they discovered evidence for the massive structure below them.
The piece may have gone unnoticed, but the story goes that a retired military member had watched this on television, and twenty years later in 2012, he allegedly told what he knew of the structure to experienced ufologist and expert in cattle mutilation cases, Linda Moulton Howe.

According to Moulton Howe, the ancient pyramid is an ancient structure that was built for the purposes of generating power. It was apparently buried by the same people who built it, but it is not known who this civilization was.
Following Moulton Howe’s revelations, an abundance of stories and “information” on the site from alleged whistle-blowers, flooded into her.
Bruce L. Pearson, from New Jersey, stated that a pilot had informed his father that the pyramid “was not made by man” and that it was indeed a power generator that was thousands of years old. It could generate enough power to power not only all of Alaska but most probably much of Canada also.

Another person, referred to only as “the 46-year-old adopted son of a retired Western Electric engineer” claimed that his father had told him a “dark pyramid” did exist in Alaska, and what’s more, his father had worked on a “powerful electrical system” inside it in the early 1960s.
The existence of the pyramid is assumed a hoax by most, but there are those that are still determined to investigate and find the ancient structure.
Check out the videos below for some further information on the Black Pyramid and if it is real or not.
