C5's Bermuda Triangle

[Smiler.]

Sorry, but

If the pilot of that aircraft from the 70's incident had turned up to the casting session wearing pointy ears & a Star Trek shirt, they'd have told him to piss-off.

And, surprise, surprise, he has written a book.

Mate, we've all watched the Time Tunnel.

I thought the show was okay up to that point. Forget space warping; I suspect it is more likely that some form of wind blew his little plane about. Hardly unlikely given the area's reputation for big storms. Maybe he was in the eye of a tornado?

And maybe he's an idiot who can't fly his plane very well and wants to sell a few books. Considering he was flying with two other friends on the plane their accounts of the flight were strangley absent.

There was a programme on a while back which offered a far more plausible explanation for F19. C4 I think it was (not the 1992 one).

Someone here is bound to know what it was.

I though that too - weird

Was a bit pandering to people who have some strange idea's about reality. So, here is a reminder of what some people want to hear.....

Flight leader getting confused as to where he was and despite the Florida radio operator getting fainter he thought he was flying towards Florida, in the belief the islands they had flown over were the Bahamas (or some others I can't quite recall) but were in fact other islands and a turn he took was taking them in the opposite direction away from mainland out into the Atlantic. Despite the sun and his fellow flight who probably knew something was up but followed their leader until they ran out of fuel.

The radio operator evidence was the key, at different times they had strong signals to and from the flight but weak signals from other stations they could roughly work out where they were and in which direction they were going, which was the wrong direction.

Given that they flew out in the afternoon you'd expect him to be able to work it out from the big yellow ball...

Yep, that's the one.
