Authorities continue their search for a Bering Air flight carrying nine passengers and one pilot after it vanished en route from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska on Thursday at 4 p.m.
The aircraft, a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, failed to land as scheduled, triggering an urgent response from Alaska State Troopers, the National Transportation Safety Board, the Alaska National Guard, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
According to the Nome Volunteer Fire Department, the aircraft may have been affected by adverse weather conditions and poor visibility. Search efforts are ongoing, but the missing plane has yet to be classified as a crash or an accident.

Alaska Triangle
From 1960 to 2004, there were a reported 24 disappearances from the remote, isolated town of Nome, according to the FBI#airlines #DEI #Alaska pic.twitter.com/a5mSLdwpVtSince the 1970s, over 20,000 people have disappeared within the Alaska Triangle, a region known for its harsh terrain, extreme weather, and eerie phenomena. Some attribute the disappearances to natural causes, such as the rugged wilderness, deep crevasses, and unpredictable conditions. Others believe something more sinister is at play.
Similar to the Bermuda Triangle, theories surrounding the Alaska Triangle range from magnetic anomalies interfering with navigation systems to extraterrestrial activity and interdimensional portals. Paranormal enthusiasts also point to Sasquatch-like creatures, with local legends describing Nantinaq, a supposed ape-like beast that forced the evacuation of Portlock, Alaska, in the 1950s.
Tonight on conspiracy chat:
Most people have heard of Bermuda triangle but have u ever heard of Alaska triangle? 16,000 people have disappeared there as well as a US congressman & 2 planes. Alaska has twice the national average of disappearances. 🕳️ pic.twitter.com/OmsDvfk058The mystique of the Alaska Triangle gained national attention in October 1972, when a plane carrying U.S. House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Alaska Congressman Nick Begich vanished while flying from Anchorage to Juneau. Despite a massive 39-day search, no wreckage was ever found.
Another case involved 44 military personnel aboard a Douglas C-54 Skymaster en route from Alaska to Montana. Despite a large-scale joint search effort between Canadian and U.S. authorities, the aircraft was never found.
In 2011, mountain rescuer Gerald DeBerry disappeared in the White Mountains near Fairbanks while searching for a missing woman. His ATV was later found with the engine off, but he was never seen again.
Bering Air Flight’s Disappearance—Coincidence or Part of the Alaska Triangle’s History?
With the Bering Air flight’s sudden disappearance near Nome, speculation has grown about whether the Alaska Triangle is claiming yet another victim. Some skeptics argue that Nome’s harsh conditions and the region’s remoteness make such disappearances more a result of the landscape than the supernatural.
