The Alaskan Triangle has become notorious for its unexplainable missing aircraft. The disappearance of Boggs, along with the area’s long history of disappearances, has created a need for answers. This has led to several theories about what exactly is causing the losses. The first theory, the alien theory, is based on a report submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration. “Japanese Airlines Flight 1628 claimed to have run into three unidentified flying objects. Initially, the pilot says the flight crew thought the crafts were military so they ignored them, they soon noticed that the flying objects were keeping up with them and making erratic movements.” (Miller 2021) This unfamiliar object followed the flight for almost an hour, with the strange aircraft shining bursts of bright blinding light. These claims were later on validated by both military and civilian radar. Another claim reported was in Fairbanks Alaska, pictures of strange northern lights beaming off the sky had been captured. This sighting proves that other forces play within the Alaska Triangle. Another theory for the disappearances in the Alaska Triangle involves a powerful spinning energy vortex. These energy fields are believed to influence man's emotions and thoughts depending on their direction of rotation. The theory implies that a clockwise-moving vortex generates positive energy, while one that moves counterclockwise causes confusion and negativity. “In Alaska, magnetic irregularities have a higher intensity. Compasses have been off by up to 30 degrees, reportedly. Volunteers who searched the area have described symptoms like disorientation and hearing things that aren’t there.” (Nickell 2019) The last theory is formed around speculations of pyramids within the triangle. “In a Travel Channel series called "The Alaska Triangle," an episode titled "The Dark Pyramid and Violent Nature" suggests that the government is hiding an extraterrestrial pyramid that acts as a portal to other universes and planets. Because of this series, it has sparked many people's curiosity and has left them with the question of whether this is the explanation of the missing persons. Logically the most explainable answer has nothing to do with aliens, powerful spinning vortexes, or even hidden pyramids. This area is full of massive glaciers covering the entire Alaskan Triangle. These glaziers have a fragile top layer. “They are prone to fracturing for no reason at all and have deep crevasses called moulins that can stretch downward for miles.” (Nickell 2019) The only explainable answer to these many tragedies is the people, even aircraft that fell into the opening of these glaziers and stayed there.
HALE BOGGS
ALASKAN TRIANGLE VICTIM
Hale Boggs was a powerful and wise Democratic congressman. He served in Congress for two stints: first from 1941 to 1943, then again from 1947 until his disappearance in 1972. After stepping down in 1943, he took on a more prominent role serving the country. Could Hale's governmental power or his wisdom have contributed to his disappearance?
Hale Boggs's political career had a controversial beginning. As a Democrat running as an anti-Long candidate in the 2nd Congressional District, he defeated Paul Maloney in the 1940 Democratic primary and won the election. This victory made Hale Boggs the youngest member of Congress at that time, as he was only twenty-seven years old when he was sworn in. He ran for a second term but was beaten by his opponent. After his loss, Boggs joined the Navy and served in World War II. This setback did not deter him; upon returning from the war, he decided to make a political comeback. Hale Boggs was re-elected to Congress in 1946 and went on to be re-elected thirteen times. During this time, Boggs was known for his passionate charm and his desire for change within his home state of Louisiana. Many believed he was a powerful political leader with the ability to connect with various groups. For example, Speaker Tip O’Neill remarked, “He was a true bridge among the disparate members of the House. When he first ran for the leadership, they said he could never win because he was too liberal for the South and too conservative for the North. And that was his great strength — he could move between both groups, between all groups.” Another example of Boggs's influence is evident after his iconic speech on the Civil Rights Act, “which earned him a standing ovation from most House members before the bill passed by a vote of 333-85. Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and the bill's manager, said Boggs's speech “will go ringing through the ages” (Politico 24).
Tragically, Boggs died in 1972 when a private plane he was a passenger on disappeared over a section of Alaska known as the Alaskan Triangle. The disappearance of U.S. political figures has sparked numerous speculations and conspiracy theories, especially since it was a routine flight from Anchorage to Juneau. “Their disappearance triggered the largest search and rescue operation up to that point in U.S. history. It involved 40 military aircraft, 50 civilian planes, a search grid of 325,000 square miles, and more than 3,600 hours of search time” (Walczak 12). Despite extensive efforts, no wreckage or human remains were ever found. Some speculated that due to Boggs's high political status, he may have gained too much knowledge about the government, leading to theories of government cover-ups or even foul play.
Boggs's disappearance remains unsolved, and since his death, there have been many more disappearances in the same area. Over time, various theories have emerged, but one of the most intriguing is the possibility of alien abductions, which some believe could explain the missing aircraft and vanishing bodies.
