To be honest I'm not all that "up" on the Triangle but wasn't there a squadron of fighters (Flight 19) that disappeared during real foul weather under strange circumstances/coincidence's? It was at the tail end of ww2

The thing is wouldn't a rogue wave be a known circumstance and consideration to us even then?

The actual story of Flight 19 (or whatever it was) is very interesting. The "student pilots" were flying their final exam. To become instructors. If memory serves, all the students had at least 500 hours flying experience. I think the weather was fine. The instructor doing the exam had much more experience, of course. I think some of them were combat veterans as well. In other words, not the neophytes the pseudoskeptics like to pretend they were. Then there was at least one plane that went out in search of the flight that disappeared without a trace. Definitely something weird going on, whatever it was. The episode gets told in various ways depending on the agenda of the teller. Seems like most everybody leaves out something important.

But if it was rogue waves, then I guess we don't have to worry about it anymore.

That's weird. It has long been assumed, at least by some, that drunk flying was the cause of nearly all flying saucer crashes. Maybe our alcohol is more potent than what they're used to. I dunno.

Fixed that, apparently when I installed that emoticon it was missing a word in its designation and was using a 'w2' instead of 'alienw2' lol...

the disappearence rate in the bermuda triangle isn't anomalous, that is a lie made to sell books
the only incident that has a possibility of being paranormal is the flight 19 one

I think flight 19 just got lost due to Taylors problems with special disorientation......it was be a good day if and when they find the aircraft. But that will be like luck because they got quite lost.

Coincidentally enough I recently listened to episodes #65 & 66 of the podcast Astonishing Legends and can highly recommend it to anyone interested in Flight 19 - or a lot of other things. They also added (somewhere) a Google Maps gadget that maps out known radio transmissions and adds some perspective that's been lacking. I thought I knew something about this case but they really did a nice job.

Yes, the flight lead had seen combat, was familiar with open water navigation and had actually survived two ditchings in the same or similar aircraft. On one they said he didn't even get wet. I believe there was an even more experienced Marine officer who outranked the flight leader but protocol said the instructor was in charge. Once I saw the map it made sense. A number of TBMs have been found in Florida swamps, off the west coast in the Gulf - which is to say losing aircraft of that type in that area in that era was hardly unknown. And the SAR plane they sent out to look for them that didn't come back was known to have a few BOOM type problems.

I think they really did go down headed toward Bermuda. These episodes also brought about a discussion of some peculiar atmospheric anomalies in the region and they interviewed a local pilot who had experienced it twice. His name is Bruce Gernon and he coined the term 'electronic fog.' He interviewed so well and sounded so credible I bought his book.

That podcast did a great job. I don't buy anything without giving it a good sniff first and while I wasn't sure about everything that got said sometimes you just have to shake your head and say "yup, that's probably it."

As for that book Beyond the Bermuda Triangle well, I started it it several times but it's a stinker IMO and I left on the donate shelf at the gym. At least whoever picked it up got it for free.

I'm sure they were heading out to see as well and the Atlantic got them. Yes as I've said in the other threads on this topic Taylor was a combat veteran.....but was the only pilot with much experience. His combat tour in the South Pacific was as part of an TBM squadron but he was not in command so he followed others. In that case his special disorientation wasn't as much of a problem.

Technically they were of equivalent rank.......but perhaps Taylor had more time in grade. Whatever the case he was the instructor and he had the lead. Though common sense seems to have failed him and his position went to his head.....Captain Powers should have taken over flight lead or at least taken point.

Yes there are numerous TBMs and other aircraft in the waters off Florida since it was the main training area for naval aviators and maritime patrols.

The Martin Mariner was known to explode as it happened when the search plane went out. An explosion was seen and debris located the next morning.

Rogue Waves do not cause a compass to spin, they also do not cause inductive heating.
though magnetic vortexes can cause things like that

Well, I was at the dentist last autumn and whilst I was in the waiting room, there it was, that book sitting on the coffee table amongst a couple other books on teen drama stories and various magazines...You're right, awful book, horrible writing skills, and I was just thumbing through it reading random paragraphs lol...

I wonder if that is the same physical book making its rounds, if so it's traveling across states, I guess no one wants it...I dropped it back on the coffee table and thumbed through a food and beverage magazine instead...:Whistle:

Rogue waves have just been confirmed in the last 15 or so years and have been confirmed to have taken down ships in the Atlantic.

Flight 19 was actually 3 months after WW2......but yes it is still a mystery as to where they crashed.
