In Alaska, a region known as the 'Alaskan Triangle' reports up to 2,000 missing persons annually, significantly higher than the U.S. average. This area, formed by Anchorage, Juneau, and Point Utqiaġvik, is notorious for unexplained disappearances and UFO sightings.
One notable incident occurred in 1972 when a plane carrying prominent U.S. officials vanished during a routine flight from Anchorage to Juneau. Despite a 3,600-hour search covering 325,000 square miles, no trace of the aircraft was found.
In the 1970s, 25-year-old Gary Frank Sozerdin disappeared, with his remains discovered 20 years later near the Porcupine River, confirmed by DNA testing.
More recently, in June 2019, 43-year-old Shanna Oman disappeared on her way to meet a friend. Paranormal investigator Ken Gerhard noted that some individuals have vanished from cruise ships and mountain peaks, suggesting possible extraterrestrial involvement.
Experts speculate that Alaska's sparse population makes it an attractive location for aliens, allowing them to operate undetected. This aligns with ongoing discussions about unusual phenomena in remote areas.
