Debris of ‘air ambulance’ found as U.S. Coast Guard continues search for 6 missing people

The United States Coast Guard located a debris field off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, confirmed to be from the missing medical transport aircraft, as crews continue searching for the six people that were on board.

At 2:00 a.m. local time Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notified the Coast Guard that they lost contact with the Gulfstream G100 aircraft tail number C-GRJP while it was traveling from Bermuda to Boston.

The Coast Guard released a statement late Saturday providing the latest information on the missing medical aircraft described as an “air ambulance.” According to the statement, crews are continuing to search for the six people aboard the aircraft, while the Coast Guard cutter William Sparling will continue search efforts.

At 12:41 a.m. on Saturday, the Gulfstream G100 aircraft took off from Bermuda’s only airport, on St. David’s Island, according to data from FlightAware.

According to flight data, the aircraft was cruising at 24,000 feet before rapidly dropping several thousand feet at around 1:05 a.m. The FAA lost contact shortly after and issued an alert at 1:20 a.m. A multi-agency search ensued involving the U.S. Coast Guard, Massachusetts authorities, and the New York Air National Guard.

The aircraft was operated by Latitude Air Ambulance, an Ontario-based medical evacuation company that transports patients to hospitals and provides repatriation services, according to its website.

On board the plane were two Canadian pilots, two Canadian medical staff members and two Bermuda nationals, according to The New York Times. All are still unaccounted for.

Air Traffic Control Captures Moments Before Plane Traveling From Bermuda to Boston Mysteriously Vanishes

Per The New York Post: “Crews from the Boston-based Coast Guard cutter William Sparling rushed to the scene off the coast of Massachusetts and were sifting through wreckage to identify parts of the downed aircraft, a USCG spokesperson told The Post Saturday night.”

A Canadian medical plane traveling from Bermuda to Boston, carrying six people, vanished very early Saturday morning.

No Americans were on the doomed plane, according to ABC News.

The Gulfstream G-100 departed Bermuda at approximately 12:40 Saturday morning and plunged 10,000 feet before it lost communication with the FAA shortly after 1:20 am.

The FAA issued a Search and Rescue alert, according to Fox News.

Air Traffic Control Audio captured the moments before the plane vanished.

The US Coast Guard is currently searching for the missing aircraft.

Four Canadians and two Bermudians were reportedly on the flight.

“You’re coming in blind. Is that what you said?” the Air Traffic Controller said to the pilot.

“You’re coming in a little weak so I didn’t hear what your response was, if you were declaring an emergency or not,” the air traffic controller said.

Passengers on Cruise to Bermuda Triangle Offered ‘Full Refund’ If…Ship Disappears

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where ships and planes have vanished many times, allegedly under mysterious circumstances.

Holidaymakers who decide to go on a cruise on board the Norwegian Prime liner from New York to Bermuda are being told that they could get a full refund if the ship disappears, according to The Mirror.

“Don’t worry about disappearing on this Bermuda Triangle tour. The tour has a 100% return rate and your money will be refunded in the rare chance you disappear”, the organisers’ website reads, as quoted by the paper.

The cruise is scheduled to set off on 28 March 2023.

Since the so-called Bermuda Triangle, a region in the North Atlantic Ocean, has long been surrounded by legends and conspiracy theories, the cruise is expected to attract many fans of everything “unexplainable” and “mysterious”. For decades, the Bermuda Triangle has been known for unexplained disappearances of ships, aircraft, and people.

Navy’s ‘Area 51’ is a secretive base located in the Bahamas

The US Navy has its own secretive base in the Bahamas with some similarities to the Air Force’s Area 51 in Nevada.

The Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center — AUTEC — is even surrounded by its own mysteries involving UFOs, according to a report on Britain’s Express website:

READ: Area 51 shock: What is this secret US Navy base known as ‘underwater Area 51?’

Just as Area 51 is isolated between mountain ranges in remote areas, AUTEC’s location affords it some privacy and a unique testing area called the “Tongue of the Ocean” — or “TOTO.” The long, deep trench with a flat bottom provides a perfect area to test sonar and communication technologies in an area free from “noise.”

The base has been there, only about 120 miles from Florida’s coast, for 56 years.

Training in underwater warfare and a weapons range add to the base’s role in research and development.

But what’s this about UFOs? Express lists a couple of rumors:

  • Claims of aliens working with Navy personnel in the deep underwater base at the tip of the Bermuda Triangle
  • Time travel experiments

Looking for more detail? Sorry, that’s it.

6 strange military disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle

The “Bermuda Triangle” is a geographical area between Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the tiny island nation of Bermuda. Nearly everyone who goes to the Bahamas can tell you that it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll die a horrible death.

Natural explanations usually range from compass problems, to changes in the Gulf Stream, or violent weather, the presence of methane hydrates, and to a large coincidence of human error. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a strange amount of disappearances that let the conspiracy theories gain some traction.

From 1946 to 1991, there have been over 100 disappearances. These are some of the military disappearances that have been lost in the Bermuda Triangle.

75 years later, Navy “Flight 19” remains a mystery

It’s an enduring mystery in U.S. military lore and now, seven and half decades old and no closer to being solved.

It was December 5, 1945, less than four months after VJ Day marked the formal end of World War II. Five Navy Avenger torpedo bombers took off from the Naval Air Station in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

The planes — collectively known as “Flight 19” — were scheduled to fly a three-hour exercise between Florida, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and back in an area that’s come to be known as the Bermuda Triangle.

As the weather deteriorated, radio contact became intermittent, and the planes just disappeared.

All 14 airmen on the flight were lost, as were all 13 crew members sent out to look for them in a search plane.

Twenty-seven souls in all just vanished without a trace.

Mysterious Ship Carrying 20 Lost in the Bermuda Triangle

When a ship carrying 20 people disappears in the Bermuda Triangle, it makes the mainstream news. When details about the ship and the passengers are concealed from the public, it’s generally assumed the boat was trafficking in drugs or carrying people attempting to escape from their home country and enter the U.S. illegally. When the ship is not found and the search is called off, it also makes the mainstream media. When the weather was clear, no explanations are given by the Coast Guard or other search agencies, and the mainstream media moves on to other news, that’s when disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle become mysterious. We’ve reached that point with a 29-foot (9-meter) Mako Cuddy Cabin vessel with 20 people onboard that left Bimini in the Bahamas on 12/28/20 but never arrived at its destination — Lake Worth, Florida. That area is the Florida corner of infamous Bermuda Triangle – long the home of missing boats and planes. What happened to this one and why is there so little information about it?
