Most of us have heard of the Bermuda triangle in the North Atlantic Ocean, where ships, planes and people are reportedly mysteriously disappeared.
But less known is a similar phenomenon in Nevada.
The Nevada triangle is an area of 25,000 square kilometers in a triangular border between Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada and Fresno in California.
Experts claim that in the past 50 years around 2,000 aircraft have disappeared in the triangle, Many forever lost in the remote, mountainous and often inaccessible landscape.
Although often the highly educated pilots have been found, others don't have that.
While the reasons for the reason why a mystery remains, Marty Gevill, the president and owner of Fresno Flight Training in Madera, believes that the mountain site of Sierra Nevada plays an important role.
'If you take airports at airports with a higher height, you lose electricity in the thinner air, lose the wing lift because of the thinner air, you lose the gear options. You lose many things from a higher height, “Give told FOX26.
Two remarkable disappearances, decades except each other, are particularly enigmatic for aviation experts.
The Nevada triangle includes Las Vegas, Fresno, California and Reno. The 25,000 square mile region has claimed a whole series of aircraft and human lives
In 1943 a bomber plane of B-24 flew in the air near the triangle, but never returned. It was later found in 1960 after a new deadly crash (shown: a park service draws part of the water)
In 1943, a B-24-bomber lane flew into heaven above the triangle, but never returned.
The 'Lucky Lee' left for the flight on December 5, controlled by the 2nd lieutenant Willis Turvey and co-Pilotated by the 2nd lieutenant Robert M. Hester.
The plane also wore four other crew members, 2nd lieutenant William Thomas Cronin, 2nd lieutenant Ellis H. Fish, Sergeant Robert Bursey and Sergeant Howard A. Wandtke.
Cronin was the Navigator, Fish was the Bombardier, Bursey, the Engineer and Wadntke was the radio operator.
The crew set out in a routine night training that would bring them back on a short flight of 111 miles between Hammer Field in Fresno, to Bakersfield, Tucson, Arizona and back.
But on the first stage of the flight, the bomber disappeared from the Second World War, which caused a rescue mission with nine other B-24 bomber aircraft.
But the morning after the rescue mission started, one of the planes that were involved in the search also disappeared. The B-24 was governed by Squadron Commander Captain William Darden and had a crew of seven on board.
When the plane experienced problems, the co-pilot and radio operator chose to jump to what a snow and ice seemed to be that the clearing covered below.
The other six remained on board.
The plane took flight on December 5 of that year, driven by 2nd lieutenant Willis Turvey and co-piloted by the 2nd lieutenant Robert M. Hester. (Depicted: the crew of the B-24, The Lucky Lee)
The plane and the crew were only found in 1955 when the plane was found on the bottom of the Huntington Lake's reservoir when it was taken to repair a dam.
An investigation later showed that the aircraft probably lost control of high wind.
The two crew members who managed to parachut from the plane said the pilot had been wrong about the frozen lake.
Darden died together with the 2nd Lt. Samuel J. Schlosser, Sgt. Erwin Mayo, s/sgt. Franklin C. Nyswonger, Sgt. Richard L. Spangle and Sgt. Donald C. Vande Plasch.
The two who survived, George Barulic and 2nd Lt. Marion C. Settle described in hair -raising details what happened with the California Landmark Foundation in 2008.
“When I jumped out, I hit the back under the plane,” said Barulic, then 86.
“I pulled the tear cord and I could not have been more than a few hundred feet off the ground.”

He landed on the edge of the water and soon found Settle. Both were left without injuries, despite the plane that fell in the lake.
“I looked out and I saw an oxygen tank floating,” Barulic recalled.
The plane was eventually found 190 feet under the water with the remaining five crew members who are still in their stations.
Although attempts were made to remove the plane from the water, it could not all be saved.
A few engines and other small parts were pulled out.
“I think it should be left alone,” Barulic said over the plane.
The remains that have been restored have since been buried at the Arlington National Cemetery.
Although the second plane is discovered, the location of the Lucky Lee has remained a mystery.
The father of the pilot Robert Hester started his private search to find it. The grieving father eventually died of a heart attack in 1959 without finding the plane.
Steve Fossett lost his life in a tragic plane crash after having left his plane on 3 September 2007 with two seats
In a bitterswaking turn of fate, the original B-24 was found only a year later in 1960 at about 100 miles from Darden's aircraft crash location.
In another shocking plane crash that is suspected in the Nevada triangle, the famous kite Fossett lost his life.
Fossett, the first person who only flies in a non -stop trip all over the world in a hot hot air balloon, suddenly disappeared after the departure of Flying M Ranch Airfield in Lyon County on 3 September 2007.
A search and rescue mission was launched six hours later after none of him heard after leaving in his single-engine two-seater plane.
After about a month trying to find the entrepreneur born in Tennessee, he was declared dead.
Despite the fact that he did not find him, Search Crews have found several other crashed aircraft in the area, several points of sale reported.
A year after he concluded that Fossett died, a major indication arose when a walker discovered his ID card spread in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains in California -about 65 miles of his starting place.

Part of his plane and some of his remains were found weeks later. It was confirmed by 3 November that these bones were fossett.
Civil servants think that the rest of his remains may have been towed by wild animals in the area.
He died at an impact of the crash, according to former Sheriff John Anderson of Madera County.
With all the tragedies around the Nevada triangle, it is not yet definitively determined how or why planes lose control in the area.
While Government has predicted that around 2,000 planes were missing in the triangle, Paul Hamilton believes, a pilot in Carson City, and then Bubb, a professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) that the number is probably inaccurate.
'Two thousand crashes seem terribly high; That is a difficult song to know, “Bubb De Las Vegas Review Journal said.
