This the Truth about the Missing Plane that Landed 37 Years Later

On July 2, 1955, a plane carrying 63 crew members and passengers left the New York City airport for Florida. However, it didn’t arrive at its destination.

Then, on March 9, 1985, the said plane mysteriously appeared on the Caracas radar out of nowhere. Do you think it’s fake news?

Kindly read on to uncover the truth.

1. The Mysterious Disappearance and Appearance of the Pan Am Flight 914

A Douglas DC-4 took off to bring its passengers to Miami on that fateful day, but the plane never landed. On March 9, 1985, the Caracas tower in Venezuela saw the missing plane, and its pilot voiced their concerns to air traffic controller Juan de la Corte.

The ground handlers saw the passengers’ faces on the plane’s windows as the pilot dropped the calendar onto the tarmac. 

Afterward, the plane turned back and took off, disappearing once again. The U.S. and Venezuela governments got the tower tapes and calendar.

But, unfortunately, there was no news about their comment on the plane’s landing. So no one knows what happened to Pan Am Flight 914.

2. The Theories Behind the Missing Plane

The mysterious disappearance and appearance of Pan Am Flight 914 37 years later deserve further investigation. However, it can’t remain a mystery forever.

People could find several explanations on the internet, especially those who believe in time travel and UFOs.

However, one popular theory became most prevalent and included a wormhole or time portal. Instead of arriving in Miami in 1955, the plane passed through a wormhole and returned after leaving Caracas. Unfortunately, no one understands how a time portal or wormhole works.

3. The Truth Behind Pan Am Flight 914

The story of the missing plane was fake news. However, this urban legend has a known source. Weekly World News, a tabloid in 1985, first published about the supposed disappearance of Pan Am Flight 914.

It concocted crazy stories for its subscribers. Moreover, it ran the story twice during the 1990s and even changed the plane’s appearance date in Caracas to 1992.

The YouTube channel Bright Side created a video to boost its popularity to generate at least 15 million views. However, it only explained the story was fake news toward the end.

In addition, the video shared some details not found in the original account, such as the plane being visible on the Caracas radar.

Others may exploit the fake news without telling their readers or viewers about the fabricated story of the Pan Am Flight 914.

But, on the other hand, the millions of clicks each article or video generated is proof enough that people are spellbound about planes, even if stories, such as this one, border on a paranormal experience.

Final Thoughts

Content creators often use people’s fascination for airplanes for clickbait purposes. In the case of the original creator, Weekly World News used it to pique the interest of its subscribers and other unsuspecting individuals.

Unfortunately, fake news has been around for decades now, and readers and viewers must learn to discern them.
