EBN- A remote area in the US state of Alaska raises many questions, after thousands of people disappeared, which led some to describe it as the “Alaska Triangle”, similar to the famous “Bermuda Triangle”.
Many accidents have occurred in the area known as the “Bermuda Triangle” in the North Atlantic Ocean, where many planes and ships have disappeared.
The British newspaper, Daily Mail, said that the same applies to a remote area in Alaska located between Juneau, Anchorage and the small town of Barrow, where more than 20,000 people have disappeared since 1970.
“The Triangle has seen thousands of unexplained disappearances, including the disappearance of US Representatives Hale Boggs and Nick Begich along with their assistant and pilot following a suspected plane crash in 1972,” she explained. Neither the plane’s wreckage nor the remains of the passengers have been found.
On June 3, 2019, Shana Auman, 43, disappeared while visiting a friend in Fairbanks. Her disappearance baffled authorities, who searched for days using helicopters and police dog units, but to no avail.
Explanations behind these disappearances vary, from “alien activity” to strong electromagnetic fields in the area, similar to those in the Bermuda Triangle.
The Daily Mail reported that “local legends also refer to the unknown creature ‘Sasquatch’, which terrorizes cities and kills people.”
According to World Population Review, “Despite being only 1 percent populated, Alaska has the highest number of missing persons of any U.S. state, with an average of 42.16 per 100,000.
