The Bermuda Triangle of the Sahara: Why 12 Planes Vanished Over Algeria

The Bermuda Triangle of the Sahara:

Why 12 Planes Vanished Over Algeria

When the Desert Swallows the Sky

In 1989, Air France Flight 74 disappeared over Algeria’s Tanezrouft Basin—a desert so hostile Bedouins call it “The Land of Thirst.” No wreckage. No distress calls. Just sand. Since then, 11 more planes have vanished here. Satellite images reveal bizarre magnetic anomalies. Is this the Sahara’s answer to the Bermuda Triangle?

The Pilot’s Final Words: “What Are Those Lights?”

Before Flight 74’s black box died, the captain reported “strange green lights swirling below.” Similar sightings plagued other lost flights. Geologists blame methane flares. UFOlogists? “It’s a portal,” insists researcher Amir Khadir. “Ancient Sumerians wrote about this zone. They knew.”

In 2023, a hobbyist spotted plane debris 200 miles off Flight 74’s route. Algerian officials found… nothing. “The desert shifts,” says pilot Jean Leroy. “But not that fast. Someone’s hiding the truth.”

Why Airlines Avoid the “Devil’s Eye”

Modern flights detour hundreds of miles around Tanezrouft. “The risk isn’t worth it,” says Leroy. “Better to pretend it doesn’t exist.”
