The Nevada Triangle | 2,000 Planes Mysteriously Crashed & Missing Near Area 51 👽🤔
1,303,498
Published 2021-01-21
The Nevada Triangle is typically defined as spanning from Las Vegas, Nevada in the southeast to Fresno, California in the west, and to Reno, Nevada at the top. Within this wilderness is the mysterious, top-secret Area 51. Along with the dozens of conspiracy theories which include UFOs and paranormal activity that surrounds the air force base, similar theories have long been considered regarding the Nevada Triangle.
One plane to go missing was that of a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer named Steve Fossett on September 3, 2007. Fossett, flying a single-engine plane over Nevada's Great Basin Desert, took off and never returned. After hunting for a month for the plane, the search was called off and on February 15, 2008, Fossett was declared dead. Later that year on September 29th, Fossett's identification cards were discovered in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California by a hiker.
Throughout the years, many of the missing planes were flown by experienced pilots and have disappeared under mysterious circumstances: and their wreckage never found.
The biggest mystery is: nobody really talks about it.
Let's find out why.

You shouldn't be a small channel. These videos are great!
-
“Uh-huh… may I have my hat please?” absolutely killed me. This is such an important channel, I know people say stuff like this all the time but for real AJ you’re something else and I appreciate the hell out of you.
-
It's obvious the effort you put into your videos. Great production
-
In 1978 I was a Fire Fighter in the USAF and went out on a search and rescue mission in the Mt Charleston area. At first, we were looking for a private plane with a father and son. During the search, two more USAF planes went down and as far as I know all three are still missing.
-
The flight over the Sierra Nevadas is extremely sketchy for small aircraft, and the terrain is insanely rugged. I flew over that pass from Fresno to Bishop when I was a kid with my dad and his pilot friend, and it was pretty rough. He told us planes go down out there all the time. Thankfully we didn’t. Great video.

Hey gang, more tinfoil hat stories are here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEJLf99gDO7TqgO2kSwsg6…

Love these videos and Hecklefish is a great sidekick!
-
I've watched almost all your videos at this point and I have to say you do such a phenomenal job on these. Thankful for this channel!
-
blows my mind on how well this channel is put together . I love the fact how engaging the stories are & the fact that they come full circle to a resolution , like a mini movie in a minute
-
Well this channel is gonna blow up in a few years, glad I could be his first thousands.
-
As a pilot whose traveled to Las Vegas in the past, I can testify to the strong wind currents over those mountains. I also loved that funny ending. Great job! I'm a newby to your channel, and am binge watching it. I love the content!
-
You could easily do a 2hr episode on this topic and I wouldn’t get bored. Fascinating!
-
as someone that has flown extensively in that area i can 100% vouch its mountain wave. absolutely no joke, have had several close calls with it in areas that NOONE would ever find me and in faint radio contact with anyone.

I remember hearing about the crash near Bakersfield. My stepbrother was a captain in Kern County Fire Department. His team reached the crash site where they saw a strangely shaped air craft. Soon after finding the craft Feds showed up and told Bill and his team to leave immediately. We found out years later the wreckage belonged to the then very top secret Stealth Bomber prototype.
-
Recently found this channel, and over the past week I've ended up watching almost all your videos and are one of the best video series on here. Thank you for your hard work and great content! You're going to blow up brother!
-
I’m so glad your channel is getting the recognition it deserves
-
Im watching this video in the future. You have came a long way. I had to come this far back as ive watched most of your current videos. Thanks for all ya do.😊
-
I just came across this video. I grew up in the area shown here and have driven many times in the "Nevada triangle." I also had private pilot training. Every pilot knew, or should have, about how dangerous it is to fly in that area, especially over the Sierra mountains. Nice coverage of the planes that went missing.
-
Fun to see how great the quality was already. Couldn't find these older episodes easily on your channel, but luckily YouTube is suggesting them to me now. I think I've seen almost everything... looking forward to seeing much more. You're an amazing storyteller and your show has amazing production. It is seamless. When it seems effortless, you know it is highly professional. Good luck on your endeavors and many thanks to your team!

My dad used to come get us out of Vegas in a small Cessna headed to SF when my sis and I were kids...I remember the turbulence was wicked. No doubt planes were ripped from the sky! I remember one trip a random unpredicted storm hit and it was so bad we had to land in Tonopah..That storm came out of the blue, no warning and it was truly horrifying..Fortunately we were close enough we could at least make it there.. Wonder how many pilots/planes hit those and dont survive the bucking and rocking. I just remember I was a kid and I was sure we were going to die. My sister and I STILL talk about that day 40 years later. I had never even heard of the Nevada Triangle until AJ and Hecklefish- Thanks for explaining one of my childhood traumas!
