Is it true that Pan American Flight 914 took off in 1955 and landed after 37 years?
There are many rumors about the Pan American Flight 914 incident. The most famous of these is something like that.
It was July 2, 1955. Pan American Flight 914 took off from New York Airport in the United States with 55 passengers on board. The sky was so clear. The weather was favorable for the flight.
Some time ago, a plane that flew towards the sky suddenly disappeared from the radar as if to go out of the air. The plane’s mark, which appeared on the screen in the control room a few moments ago, suddenly disappeared. Shortly afterwards, an official announcement was made that the plane had crashed. There was no chance of anyone escaping from the accident. Many years passed. The incident almost went unnoticed.
September 9, 1992 dawned. In the control room at Caracas Airport in Venezuela, an employee named Juan was, as usual, monitoring the flights by radar. Suddenly a new dot of the plane appeared on the radar. Juan was stunned.
Before anything could be understood, the plane came into Juan’s sight. They seemed very old-fashioned. Juan now understood nothing. Meanwhile, the captain of the mysterious plane contacted the control room and asked to land the plane in pure English. After being allowed, he landed the plane.
The captain claimed that his plane had departed from New York Airport on July 2, 1955. Juan knew nothing. He glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall.
‘Isn’t this a daydream?’ The thought flashed through his mind for a moment. But that was not the case. He spoke to the captain of the plane.
“Today is September 9, 1992.”
The captain of the plane was confused. Muttered something vague. Within a few seconds, the plane flew back into the air. The wreckage of the plane was never found again.
