0:00.0 | We've all heard of the Bermuda Triangle, right? |
0:03.0 | Over the past 60 years, about 50 ships and 20 planes |
0:07.0 | have mysteriously crashed or just vanished over the Atlantic. |
0:11.0 | But have you ever heard of the Nevada Triangle? It's much smaller than the Bermuda Triangle and much more |
0:17.2 | dangerous. Not 20 Plains, not 200 Plains. In the past 60 years the Nevada Triangle has claimed 2,000 aircraft. |
0:27.0 | That's an average of nearly one plane a week every week for six decades. |

1:32.2 | But it's not just the number of crashes in the Nevada Triangle that's strange. |
1:36.7 | What's bizarre is these disappearances aren't just casual civilian pilots. Most of the |
1:42.2 | missing planes were flown by experienced pilots. Most of the missing planes were flown by experienced |
1:44.4 | pilots and disappeared under mysterious circumstances with wreckage never found. |
1:50.4 | Many cases involve highly trained Air Force pilots flying state-of-the-art military aircraft. |
