welcome everyone to the Unexplained disappearances Iceberg where we’ll be covering those disappearances that leave us with many more questions than answers the circumstances evolving these cases often have little to no clues at all and there’s still so many gaps in our knowledge about them with that in mind let’s get straight into the video now with the first entry Amelia aart Amelia aart one of the most famous American aviators was known for her collection of groundbreaking solo flights and Aviation records in 1937 though AAR embarked on an attempt to circumnavigate the globe however on July 2nd she and her Navigator friend Nunan disappeared over the Central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island art and nunan’s final flight took off from L New Guinea with the destination of Howland Island which was a tiny piece of land in the Pacific Ocean and was chosen first location as a refueling stop their plan was to fly a lock heed Electra 10e which had been specially modified with extra fuel tanks to extend its range for the long overwater flight the distance from Lei to Howland Island was about 2,556 Mi a direct flight over Uncharted and open ocean waters the United States Coast Guard Cutter itasa was stationed at Howland Island to support air heart’s flight by providing radio guidance and a smoke plume for visual navigation aart and nunan’s approach to Howland Island relied on time and distance calculations Celestial navigation and radio communication with itasa to find the island however a series of miscommunications navigational errors and technical difficulties with the aircraft’s radio equipment complicated the Final Approach air heart’s last radio transmission received by the atasa indicate that they were running low on fuel and could not locate the island she mentioned flying along a line of position a navigational technique used to determine a course based on Celestial observations but this was not sufficient to guide them to howand Island after this transmission all contact was lost the tasa began search operations immediately followed by larger search effort by United States Navy and Coast Guard the search covered an extensive area but failed to find any trace of arar Nunan or the Electra in the Years following The Disappearance numerous theories have been proposed regarding what happened to aart and Nunan the most widely accepted theory is that they ran out of fuel and ditched or crashed in the ocean near Holland Island other theor suggest that they may have landed on an inhabitated island and survived for a while were captured by Japanese forces in the Marshal Islands or even assumed new identities despite various Expeditions and investigations over the years no conclusive evidence has been found to determine the fate of arar and Nunan their disappearance remains one of the greatest unsolved mystery of the 20th century and maybe of all time TB Cooper DB Cooper is a pseudoname for an unidentified individual who hijacked Northwest orian Airlines flight 305 a boing 727 on November 24th 1971 this event is arguably the most famous mystery in American criminal history and the only unsolved case of Arab piracy in commercial Aviation on that day Cooper boarded the flight in Portland Oregon Bound for out of Washington mid-flight he handed a note to a flight attendant claiming he had a bomb and subsequently demanded 200,000 in Ransom four parachutes and a fuel truck standing by in Seattle to refill the plane for getaway once the plane landed in Seattle the hijacker exchanged a passenger safety for the ransom and parachutes he then instructed the crew to fly towards Mexico City specifically asking for the plane to be flown at a low altitude at a minimal air speed and with the landing gear down about 30 minutes after taking off from Seattle while flying over the rucked terrain of Southwestern Washington Cooper lowered the air staffs and parachuted into the night despite an extensive mana and a massive FBI investigation that lasted for 45 years the hijacker was never identified or apprehended the mysterious figure who identified himself as Dan Cooper only later mistakenly reported as steb Cooper Left Behind very few Clues a clip on tie a tie clip and a ransom no were among the scan evidence found on the plane in 1980 a boy found a decaying package containing 5,800 of the ransom money along the banks of the Columbia river which only deepened the mystery throughout the years the FBI pursued thousands of leads and considered over a thousand suspects among them were several plausible candidates including individuals with parachuting experience military backgrounds or even those who had a grudge against the airline or the federal government however none matched the evidence completely and the DNA samples obtained from the tie did not match any of the Prime suspects several theories have been proposed regarding Cooper’s Fai though some believe he didn’t survive the jump given the conditions and his apparent lack of proper skydiving gear others speculate that he did survive and managed to live out his life without detection the FBI has speculated that Cooper probably did not possess extensive skydiving knowledge pointing to his choice of a non-steerable military parachute and his decision to jump in adverse weathering conditions over a wooded area at night as indicators of his possible inexperience the case also prompted significant changes in Aviation Security though the hijacking was a major factor in the worldwide implementation of metal detectors at airports the creation of Passenger screening processes and the installation of a device known as the Cooper vein that prevents the lowering of aairs during flight on Boeing 727 aircraft despite the FBI formerly closing the case in 2016 setting the reallocation of resources to other priorities the legend of DB Cooper Still Remains alive meline mccan meline mcan’s disappearance on May 3rd 2007 from a holiday apartment in Portugal is one of the most high-profile missing person cases in Mar history at the time meline was only 3 years old and was on vacation with their British family including

while the adults dined at a nearby restaurant about 55 M away regular checks were made on the children however Kate mccan discovered meline was missing around 1: p.m. the mediate aftermath saw a significant response from local police which included Portugal’s criminal investigation agency the initial Theory considered by the police was that meline had wandered off this Theory quickly shifted to possible abduction due to the circumstances including the apartment’s location and the lack of physical evidence suggesting meline had left on her own the case received an overwhelming amount of media attention with details of the investigation and the Maan family’s efforts to find Malin broadcast worldwide the manan’s employed various means to sustain public awareness including hiring private investigators and utilizing media coverage however media tension also led to widespread speculation and conspiracy theories with the Maan facing intense scrutiny and baseless allegations in September 2007 Portuguese authorities named Kate and Jerry mccan as formal suspects but this status was lifted in July 2008 due to the lack of evidence the case saw numerous twists and turns including sightings false leads and a focus on various suspects but Maryland’s whereabouts remain unknown operation Gran a review and later full investigation by the Metropolitan Police Service was launched in

subsequent confrontation by Arnold’s mother and brother in Italy speculation about Arnold’s fate was rampid with theories ranging from murder to Amnesia one of the more scandalous rumors suggested that Arnold might have died as a result of botch’s abortion a theory that gained traction following the raid of an illegal abortion clinic in Pennsylvania in 1916 another claim came from Edward glenis

Scotland’s West Coast became the center of one of the maritime world’s most endearing Mysteries with the Unexplained disappearance of his three Keepers in December 1900 this event has since led to a bunch of theories investigations and stories that attempt to explain what happened to the men the lighthouse which was designed by David alen Stevenson and constructed between 1895 and 1899 was a Marvel of its time built to withstand the harsh conditions of the Scottish outer hites the construction effort was Monumental requiring all materials to be transported and hauled up to 45 M Cliffs directly from boats upon it completion the light house was equipped with a cable hauled Railway system designed to transport provisions and fuel up the Steep incline from The Landing areas to the lighthouse this system was indicative of its isolation and difficulty of accessing the lighthouse which was further compounded by the weather conditions typical of the region The Disappearance of the lighthouse Keepers though James dukot Thomas Marshall and Donald macarther was first signaled by the passing steamer arctor which sored absence of light in poor weather conditions the subsequent investigation launched after the delayed arrival of the relief vessel hesperis revealed a scene that suggested a sudden and mysterious departure the gate and door were closed the beds unmade and the clock stopped the lighthouse lamps were in working order though yet there was no sign of the keepers neither inside the lighthouse nor anywhere on the island a detailed search of the island uncovered evidence of severe weather damage and the West Landing but no conclusive evidence as to the fate of men were found theories propuls over the years have ranged from natural disasters such as rogue waves sweeping the men away as they attempted to secure equipment to more Sensational suggestions of sea monsters Espionage or even Supernatural involvement further investigations and reports including those by the northern Lighthouse board and subsequent researchers have tried to piece together the events leading to The Disappearance some accounts suggest the keepers might have been attempting to protect the lighthouse or to equipment from a storm leading to their being Swept Away by Massive waves the mystery is deepened by alleged long entries that speak of severe storms and the emotional state of the keepers although these entries have largely been discredited as leader additions to the lore surrounding The Disappearance the flat and is Lighthouse contined to operate though

debris confirmed to be from flight 370 washed ashore in the Western Indian Ocean over the following years but the main wreckage has not been found investigators including the Australian transport safety bur and the Malaysian Ministry of Transport have proposed various theories for The Disappearance including a hijack crew involvement and a sudden inflight emergency leading to hypoxia however no consensus has been reached on the cause efforts to locate mh70 including the multinational search that initially covered the South China Sea and later shifted to the southern Indian Ocean after

Battalion theories ranged from mass murder or desertion he each presented complications crossing the bridge to surrender seemed unlikely as no such movements were observed and the Grim fate of the prisoners of War at the hands of Japanese were well known desertion while plausible given the circumstances of the war was ched though by the logistical probability of 3,000 soldiers disappearing without any trace or later Discovery in a region with limited cover and Japanese patrols other explanations ventured into more speculative things including Supernatural phenomenon and dimensional shifts despite these series though the lack of historical evidence and confirmation from reputable sources cast out on the very occurrence of this disappearance discrepancies in the dates and events surrounding the incident suggest it may be more myth than history with no substantial proof to support the existence of the Battalion or its mysterious fate Agatha Christie missing for 11 days on the

Island his journey began from morab in airport piloting assess night 1082 L registered dsj covering a distance of 125 nautical miles valentic with around 50 hours of flying time and a class 4 instrument reading which permitted night flights under visual meteorological conditions had aspirations of a career in aviation despite facing setbacks including failed attempts to join the Royal Australian Air Force and multiple failures in commercial pilot LIC examinations his fascination with UFOs as shared by his father might have played a role in The Mysterious circumstances surrounding his last flight it said that his fascination with UFOs as shared by his father might have played a role in The Mysterious circumstance suran’s last flight the flight’s narrative took a turn when valentic contacted Melborne Air Traffic Control at 7:06 p.m. reporting an unidentified aircraft shadowing him at about 4,500 ft despite air traffic controls Assurance of nknown traffic at the evolation vtic described encountering an aircraft with four bright Landing lights and a shiny metal surface accompanied by a green light this aircraft he claimed maneuvered above him and at times seemed to orbit around him the communication between valentic and the control tower grew increasingly alarming as he reported end in trouble this situation escalated when valentic asserted that the object was not an aircraft a statement followed by a series of unidentified matak scraping sounds marking the end of the transmission and effectively the last known sign of valentich and his aircraft the subsequent search and rescue operation span over 1,000 square miles but concluded on October 25th 1978 without any trace of Lage orain this led to a series of Investigations and speculations regarding the fate of the young pilot and the aircraft the discovery of an engine C flap on fanders island identified as belonging to a Cessna 182 within the range of serial numbers including Val’s plane years later in 1983 provide a tangible clue but did little to unravel the mystery several theories have been proposed to explain Valenti’s disappearance one suggests the possibility of Lent staging his own Vanishing leveraging the aircraft’s fuel capacity for distant Escape despite conflicting reports about location based on radar data and ious accounts another theory speculates that disorientation led ventage to fly upside down mistaking his own lights or Reflections from the water for another aircraft ultimately leading to a fatal crash this Theory though is challenged by the aircraft’s gravity-fed fuel system which would have stalled the engine in such an inverted position Alternatives like him taking his own life have been virtually dismissed based on assessments of Valenti’s mental state by professionals and acquaintances a more scientific explanation provided by experts in aviation and astronomy suggests that Valenti might have been caught in a graveyard spiral deceived by the illusion of a tilted Horizon this condition could have caused the rough ising Valen Valen reported as the aircraft entered a downward spiral with the pilot mistaking the bright planets Venus Mars and Mercury along with the star anes for other aircraft flights on the fridge of conventional explanations though youthful enthusiasts have talked about extr trusty involvement suggesting that valentic fell victim to an alien abduction or an encounter with an unidentified flying object supported by aous reports of unusual aial phenomenon on the night of his disappearance Tarico ter

mile 232 a location which is notorious for bow accidents speculations strong their disappearance has fueled various Legends and rumors though including a claim by an elderly woman in 1971 during a Grand Canyon rafting trip that she was Bessie Hyde she recounted her story but it added to the mystery suspicions were further compounded by the discovery of a young male skeleton remains on the Canyon Rim in 1976 initially thought to be Glenn’s but later disproven the mystery deepen more with the suggestion that Georgie Clark or renold rafter who died in 1992 could be Bessie due to the

weather was calm and clear when they had left at Harbor at around 10:00 a.m. by 1: p.m. though unexpected winds signaling an approaching storm prompted concern among the families and friends of the men Peter hit Ser peters’s father along with others attempted to Signal the boat back to shore but were unsuccessful the storm then hit with full force prompting John hes senior to search for the sh Joel admit strong winds and crashing waves but to no avail the search expanded over several days with Captain Jim kushman of the Coast Guard leading efforts of a helicopter and ship despite covering a
