Up till now, the whole world is still wondering what could have happened to the Boeing 777-200ER which took off from Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, at 12:41 a.m. on Saturday, with 239 people on board. It was expected to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 a.m. the same day, after a roughly 4,350 kilometre journey. But around 1:30 a.m., air traffic controllers in Subang, outside Kuala Lumpur, lost contact with the plane over the sea between Malaysia and Vietnam. Facts came out that among the 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, there were two people who used stolen Italian and Austrian passports. Interpol identified the men using the stolen passports as both Iranians; but by last Tuesday it was finally established that the two were not in any way related to any terrorist group or had the capacity to carry out terrorist acts. They were men on their way to Europe in search of greener pastures.The baffling part of the whole affair is that nobody knows what transpired in the plane’s cockpit around the time the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers, thereby spurring even wilder speculations. What if the plane was snatched by aliens in their unidentified flying objects, popularly known as UFO? Mysterious disappearances in certain areas are not new on Earth. There are records of aircraft disappearing in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. In December 5, 1945, Flight 19 (TBF Avengers) got lost with 14 airmen, and later the same day PBM Mariner BuNo 59225 lost with 13 airmen while searching for flight 19. On January 30, 1948, Avro Tudor G-AHNP Star Tiger lost with six crew and 25 passengers, en route from Santa Maria Airport in the Azores to Kindley Field, Bermuda. On December 28, 1948, Douglas DC-3 NC16002 lost with three crew and 36 passengers, en route from San Juan, Peurt Rico, to Miami. There were also reported cases of lost vessels at sea in the same area. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is an undefined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are known to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. According to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognised by the US Board on Geographic Names. Was missing Malaysian plane taken by UFO? What do you think is responsible for the planes disappearance?
