The history of flight 914. Where ships, trains and planes disappear. Strange landing in Caracas

Like a flying phantom from the Twilight Zone, a 57-passenger DC-4 charter plane landed in Caracas, Venezuela in 1992 ... 37 years after it disappeared in 1955 on a flight from New York to Miami! But within minutes, the ghost plane took off again and disappeared into the clouds! Eyewitness accounts and taped radio communications between the pilot and the control tower provide irrefutable proof that this nightmare plane landing did indeed take place.

The testimony of employees of the control service of the airport, who saw this incident, coincide in essence, - said Deputy Minister of Civil Aviation Ramon Estovar. But the decisive argument, Estovar says, is the small 1955 calendar that the pilot tossed onto the runway seconds before the DC-4 took off and disappeared.

I saw the plane ... I heard the pilot's voice. I even had a calendar in my hand, but I still can't believe it, ”said Juan de la Corte, who clearly saw everything that was happening from his post on the flight control tower. “These people on board still thought it was 1955 and that they had landed in Florida. But this is not the case. God only knows where they have been all these years.

According to de la Corte and other controllers, they realized that something supernatural was happening when a propeller plane suddenly approached the airport, which did not appear on the radar screens.

We saw the plane with our own eyes, but there were no signs of it on the radar, ”said de la Corte. - We asked the pilot to identify himself, and he radioed us: - "Where are we?" His voice was frightened and confused, but finally he said that he was doing chartered flight 914 from New York to Miami with a crew of 4 and 57 passengers on board.


The dispatcher said that after these words of the pilot, there was silence in the control room. Everyone was stunned. Flight 914 destination ... Miami ... 1800 km from Caracas ...

I answered the pilot: "This is Caracas, Venezuela ... South America." Then I asked, "Are you in distress?" There was no answer, and I cleared the corridor for the plane to land. The landing went well. Just as I started to think everything went well, I heard the pilot say to his co-pilot, “Jesus Christ, Jimmy! What the hell is this? " They looked at the jet plane and acted like it was a spaceship.

According to de la Corte, the pilot stated that he was scheduled to land at Miami International Airport at 9.55 a.m. on July 2, 1955.

Then I heard him say, "Something is wrong here." I radioed the plane: “Captain, this is the international airport in Caracas. Today is May 21, 1992. " He just exclaimed: - "Oh, my God!" He could be heard breathing heavily. I tried to calm him down by saying that a ground team was already heading for them.

According to de la Corte, as the ground crew and tanker approached the plane, the pilot shouted over the radio, “No! Don't come close! We're leaving here! " Later, ground service workers reported that they saw the faces of passengers pressed against the windows. And the pilot opened his cockpit window and waved them to get out.

He was waving some kind of folder, ”said de la Corte. - Apparently, the calendar fell out of it, which we later found. The pilot started the engines and the plane took off.

Civil aviation officials withdrew all the recordings of the communications with the aircraft, as well as the calendar found, and are continuing to investigate the incident.

There is a mystical story about a DC-4 aircraft that went missing in 1955 on flight 914 from Miami. It is said that there were 57 passengers and 4 crew members on board.
In 1992, 37 years after the loss, the plane appeared extremely mysteriously at the airport in the city of Caracas in Venezuela, where it stunned with its appearance most of the airport employees, and especially the air traffic controller Juan De La Corte, on whose behalf, in most cases, the description of what happened is.
According to Juan, the plane appeared out of nowhere and was not visible on radar, and the pilot of the plane was confident that it was 1955.
“We saw the plane with our own eyes, but there were no signs of it on the radar. We asked the pilot to identify himself, and he radioed us: "Where are we?" His voice was frightened and confused, but finally, he said that he was flying 914 charter flight from New York to Miami with a crew of 4 and 57 passengers on board, De Da Corte argued.
After the runway was cleared for the plane and it was able to land successfully, the pilots of the plane became extremely frightened of the modern jet plane.
- The landing was excellent. As soon as I began to think that everything went well, I heard the first pilot say to his second pilot: “Jesus, Jimmy! What the hell is this? " They looked at the jet plane and acted like it was a spaceship. - Juan told about their fright.
After Juan informed the pilots of the plane of the year and the place where they landed, as well as that the ground team was already approaching the plane, the pilots became even more frightened and finally panicked when the tanker with the assistants approached the plane.
The pilot started shouting at the people around the plane from the window and waving some kind of folder, after which the aircraft engines roared and he flew away. At the place of the plane, only a calendar for 1955 was found, it is believed that it fell out of the folder that the pilot was waving ...
The story is quite funny, but it is completely fictional and there are several facts to prove it ...
In the English version of the story, the plane appeared in Venezuela in 1990. Of course, this can be attributed to the peculiarities of the translation of this fantastic story, but it is not necessary to translate the figure.
There is no documentary evidence that such an aircraft mysteriously disappeared, and then appeared, not even a single small note in the newspapers. All information is only on the Internet, in the presentation of amateur films with a boring voice that reads the text and the texts themselves, giving off a fabulous ufology for a kilometer.
The storytelling often differs. For example, in one version, Juan claims that he held that calendar in his hands without even leaving his tower for such a task. Another version says that representatives of Venezuela's security forces almost immediately took the calendar, but Juan again managed to hold the calendar without leaving his workplace.
Despite the fact that both incidents "happened" quite a long time ago, the story became known only in 2014, while nowhere is it said that it was classified.
This whole story is a rather poorly thought out tale, but, nevertheless, it was almost immediately picked up by sensationalist-hungry ufologists and other mystic-minded personalities. Or maybe they came up with it, which seems most likely ...


THE DISAPPEARED AIRCRAFT LANDED 37 YEARS

Like a flying phantom from the Twilight Zone, a 57-passenger DC-4 charter plane landed in Caracas, Venezuela in 1992 ... 37 years after it disappeared in 1955 on a flight from New York to Miami! But in less than a few minutes, the ghost plane took off again and disappeared into the clouds!

There is something in our sky that cannot be called an atmospheric phenomenon or an illusion, a play of light and shadow. For more than a century, here and there, many people have seen airplanes that should not be in this place, but do not hear the sound of engines. These can be old models or, conversely, such that did not exist at that time. Such ghostly pictures have been observed for a long time. Between 1896 and 1897, strange machines with large fenders and fans were reported from various towns and villages in Texas. The people who flew in them asked for water from the population, and two of them even called their names - Wilson and Jackson, they were from Illinois. The Wright brothers made their first successful plane flight only in 1906. In 1932-1936, reports of ghost aircraft began to arrive again. They were very powerful, they flew noiselessly and had no identification marks. This time Norway, Sweden and Finland became the scene of action. Especially often ghost planes appear in places where fierce battles took place. In these places, other aircraft also crash. On August 19, 1941, a Dakota plane crashed in the vicinity of Sheffield, killing 26 people. In 1948, another Dakota crashed in the same place, no one survived. In the same year, a B-17 plane crashed at this place and a B-29 went missing. In 1995, pensioner Anthony Aingle, a British resident who never believed in the paranormal, went for a walk with his dog: “When we went out to railroad , then we saw a strange picture: a plane from the Second World War was flying right at us, at an altitude of 12-15 meters. When he approached, I looked at the propellers, they were spinning, but there was no noise. After that, the plane turned around and flew towards the hill. I expected it to explode now, but it didn't. When we climbed to the top of the hill, there was no plane in the valley. Now my dog ​​refuses to walk this road. " In 1997, the same ghost (it was identified as the American Dakota aircraft) was seen in the sky by residents of the village of Bolterstone, which is 15 kilometers from the place where Anthony Aingle saw the plane. In 1999, a strange accident was observed in the British city of Hope. Residents of the town saw a twin-engine plane in the sky. A plume of smoke was streaming from the tail section. The plane crashed somewhere in the forest. When fifty policemen with two helicopters began to search for the accident site, they did not find anything. In general, many mystical and ominous cases are associated with aviation. What is one story about the aircraft Romeo Foxtrot-398. This plane is now in one of the British museums. He is haunted by a ghost. The ghost sits down in the pilot's seat, and the control sticks begin to move by themselves. This was filmed by paranormal researchers on the night of June 20, 1987. When playing the tape, you can hear the sound of the engine running and the voice. Perhaps this is because when this plane was being built, the wreckage of crashed aircraft was used. Back in 1927, the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris. Suddenly, his plane fell into an overcast area at an altitude of 2500 meters. He really wanted to sleep, and falling asleep in flight meant signing himself a death warrant. He struggled with this condition, but to no avail. His plane again fell into the cloudy zone, he no longer knew where the earth was. Suddenly, a ghost appeared in his cockpit. He put his hand on Charles's shoulder and told him where to fly, and then along the way gave advice on how to fly the plane. Charles Lindbergh assured everyone that it was the ghost of one of the dead pilots. But the ghost pilots didn't always want to help the pilots. The report of the pilot of the F-106 aircraft was recently published. On February 2, 1970, a pilot on his fighter took to the skies to carry out a training mission. When he looked around for some reason, he saw a ghost in a pilot's suit next to him. The plane went into a tailspin. The pilot leveled the course, and then something unexpected happened. The pilot's seat spontaneously ejected. Why did it happen? Even a special commission could not answer this question. While the pilot was landing with a parachute, his plane continued to fly. And it was controlled by the same ghost. Half an hour later, he carefully landed the fighter; no breakdowns were found on the plane. In the thirties, another strange incident happened. Victor Goddart flew in an airplane, its design was quite simple: an open cockpit, there were no navigation instruments and radio. His car got into a tailspin. The pilot realized that this flight could be the last in his life, and with the last bit of strength he tried to save the situation. But the car was leveled only 60 meters from the ground. He flew towards Drem airfield. Clouds and rain created additional interference. And then he saw the black hangars of the airfield. Immediately, the weather improved, the rain stopped, the sun appeared. The pilot flew closer, and an amazing picture appeared before his eyes: all the biplanes at the airfield were painted yellow, and the mechanics were dressed in blue uniforms. The pilot was just recently in this place, and no changes were planned there. How could you paint so many cars so quickly? After all, they were silver. And the mechanics' uniform was brown. He flew dangerously low and nearly rammed the hangars, but none of the mechanics even raised their heads up. The pilot flew to another airfield. After several years, the planes were indeed repainted yellow, and the mechanics were given blue uniforms. What is this? Definitely not mirages. After all, they appear in the sky due to the refraction of light and reflect mainly objects that are nearby. Unstudied natural phenomena? Then they could hardly give advice or catapult the pilot. The pilots themselves have already found an explanation for this. They say that when a pilot crashes in an airplane, his soul remains in the sky. I don’t comment on how to relate I don’t know, but on the rights of tales - I heard similar stories *.

An incredible incident, in reality which is impossible to believe, happened in South America. It is reported that in 1992, at the capital airport of the Republic of Venezuela, the plane landed 37 years after it disappeared in the skies over the United States of America.

Background of events

A passenger liner, flying from New York to Miami in July 1955, suddenly disappeared from radar. Despite large-scale search activities, the place of death was not found.

The tragic incident eventually faded from memory. The fate of the crew and passengers would have remained unknown, but suddenly the plane landed ... 37 years later in Caracas. Airport employees had to experience a real shock when the long-obsolete Douglas DC-4 began to circle in the sky.

How it happened: testimonies of the participants

La Corte, who took over as the dispatcher on duty that day, said that, worried about the unplanned appearance of the plane, he hurried to contact the pilot by radio. The following dialogue took place between them:

Who you are? Where are you going?

We're heading to Florida!

You have deviated 1,500 kilometers from the route. Provide your details.

Flight 914. New York - Miami.

A heavy silence reigned in the dispatchers' room - many knew about the disaster of 1955 from the surviving reports in special magazines. Nevertheless, an emergency lane for the vessel was urgently prepared. Once landed 37 years later, as if in a normal, unremarkable, regular situation.

They disappeared again without promising to return

The further course of events turned out to be even more unpredictable. The landing went well. The airport official by radio congratulated the crew on the successful arrival in Caracas and announced the current date - May 21, 1992. There was no answer, but I managed to hear expressive exclamations mixed with curses.

Panic began in the cockpit. From the conversation of the pilots, it became clear that they needed to be in Florida at 9.55 on July 2, 1955. How did the crashed plane land 37 years later? The mystery of the flight still arouses burning interest among Internet users all over the world.

Workers responsible for refueling the planes ran up to the side that had muffled the engines. Noticing people rushing to help, the commander raised the glass and waved his hand several times, in which he held a tablet with documents. The pilot's gesture expressed a demand not to approach and leave them alone. A few minutes later it soared over the airfield and disappeared into the clouds.

incredible incident

Only one circumstance confirmed what had happened. Otherwise, everything could be attributed to mass hallucinations or a joke of airport workers. At the site of the phantom's parking lot, a pocket calendar dated 1955 was discovered.

In all likelihood, he fell out of the cockpit during an altercation between the pilot and the tankers. Why the plane landed 37 years later, and when its next exit from parallel worlds will take place, no one knows.

Eyewitnesses claimed that the faces of the passengers who clung to the windows of the windows were distorted with grimaces of horror. Forty-year-old records indicate that there were at least 57 people on board. The protocols of the interrogation of airport employees, along with material evidence in the form of a calendar, were handed over to the relevant authorities for investigative actions.

The tragedy of the DC-4 liner: truth and fiction

This whole story is mystical and can tickle the nerves of an inexperienced man in the street. However, if you look closely, you will notice some inconsistencies. In various sources, there is a discrepancy between the dates of the appearance of the mysterious aircraft. Some documents refer to September 1990, while others refer to May 1992. Several publications describe the landing of Flight 914 in Venezuela between 1985 and 1993.

For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that the moment of the ship's sinking is indicated everywhere with unchanged accuracy - July 2, 1955. But there is no official information about the accident with a passenger plane during the specified period. If we assume that in connection with the events of the 1990s, the data were classified, then why was the crash of the Douglas DC-4 previously silent? The US authorities could not look into the future and see how the disappeared plane landed 37 years later on the neighboring mainland.

Fried facts and newspaper ducks

The sensational material that the 914 plane landed 37 years later at the Venezuelan airport appeared several times in the pages of the American publication Weekly World News, which entertained the public with news from the field of paranormal phenomena. For example, the newspaper told its readers about a newborn baby vampire, a cat woman, an unknown creature caught by fishermen with the body of a fish and human legs. Since 2007, the paper version of the tabloid has ceased to exist, but the editorial office continues to operate online.

Apparently, the plot with the missing liner from the first to the last letter is an invention of the yellow press journalists. On the cover of one of the early Weekly World News issues in the announcement, you can see the familiar aircraft model designation, but a slightly different date for its return. The caption reads: "The mystery of the 914, which disappeared 30 years ago and landed at a modern airport!"

Why did they later indicate that the same plane landed 37 years later? Perhaps the author of the publication found the uneven figure more attractive. It is possible that in the future the story will acquire new details and chilling details. As long as there is a demand for fried facts, someone has to present them in the form of creepy horror stories or funny fables.

In 1992, an airplane appeared over the airport in Caracas, Venezuela. People saw him, although the instruments did not record in any way, no marks on the radar appeared. The pilot of the plane, surprised and even frightened, announced that he was performing charter flight 914 from New York to Miami, he had 54 passengers and 4 crew members on board. The strangest thing was that the plane should land at 9:55 am on June 2, 1955! site will help solve this riddle.

At the end of his message, the pilot of the plane asked where they were and the dispatcher named the Caracas airport and gave permission to land.

The pilot did not reply to this statement, but during landing, his exclamation was clearly heard: "Jimmy, what the hell is this ?!" Apparently, such a reaction from the American pilot was caused by a jet plane taking off at the same time.

Eventually Flight 914 landed, the pilot breathing heavily. Only after a while he said: "Something is wrong here ..."

All attempts to calm down were in vain, the pilot was informed that the ground team had already left for them. On the contrary, noticing nearby airport employees, the pilot began to shout that they were flying away from here.

Airport employees saw the surprised faces of passengers, and the pilot opened a window in the cockpit and began waving a magazine at them. Then the pilot started up the engines, the plane took off and disappeared.

Whether flight 914 managed to return at one time is unknown, as evidence at the Caracas airport there was only a calendar for 1995, which dropped out of the pilot's log and a record of dispatchers' negotiations ...

Unknown at the time the article appeared in Weekly World News in 1993. But the clue to the story was nevertheless found.

Even if we do not take into account some inconsistencies (jet planes flew already in 1954 and could not really amaze the pilot, the records of negotiations with dispatchers, as usual, disappeared somewhere, etc. trifles), the whole story turned out to be one big fake ... The fact is that it was published in a special issue of the Weekly World News magazine.

And here are some more articles from the same issue:

"Adolf Hitler was a woman"
