Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about missing people in the
Alaska Triangle. That's correct, missing people
in the Alaska Triangle. Now, there are a lot of missing
people in Alaska. I can tell you when I was there
over 30 years ago, there was signs out.
I was surprised at how many people were unaccounted for, had
gone missing. One of the locals up there told
me that a big problem is the way the land is there with the
permafrost in that there's all kinds of places where you might
have quagmire or I guess what you'd even call quicksand.
It's a very kind of loose earth. If you get off the track, he
said, you can end up in one of these places.
Before you know it, you're buried in this stuff and that's
the end of you. And he informed me that when
people go missing, they might look hard for a couple days,
maybe a week or so. And after that, they're just
kind of forgotten about. And that does seem to be the
truth because there are an awful lot of people missing there.
And people are also wondering if it's more than just the
landscape or, you know, people falling off a cliffs or in
ravines or, you know, having accidents.
If there's not something more to it than that because of all the
UFO sightings and the Bigfoot sightings and some of the other
paranormal stuff that happens up there.
And this triangle, of course, runs from Anchorage corrupted
Barrow and then makes a on the bottom and over to Juneau.
So you kind of have this long slender triangle shape and
there's an awful lot of stuff going on in there as far as
missing people and UFO reports and all that kind of stuff.
Now I want to get into a little bit with this first article here
from dailymail dot Co dot UK. I'll put this over on the Buy me
a Coffee website. You'll find links to anything
that we talk about in the podcast over there.
Always thanks to the people that donate over there at the

And if you think about it, go ahead and share the program.
That really helps. Now this article says Mystery of
Alaska Triangle where 20,000 people have vanished.
UF O's appear and Sasquatch's have their run of the land and
it says the area between Juneau, Anchorage and Barrow has a
missing person rate twice the national average.
Disappearances have been put down to Bigfoot aliens and
electromagnetic activity among others.
I'm surprised that it's not even higher than that to be honest
with you. Now the article is written by
Beth and Sexton for dailymail.com.
It's dated September 25th, 2023. It says a sparsely populated
area of Alaska, home to hundreds of UFO and Bigfoot style
sightings, has also seen 20,000 people disappear since 1970.
I mean, that's a pretty good sized town if you stop and think
about it. While many have heard of the
Bermuda Triangle, a patch of ocean in the Caribbean known for
mysterious airplane and budding disasters, the socalled Alaskan
Triangle has managed to slip largely under the public radar
despite having a missing persons rate more than double the
national average. Located between Juneau and
Anchorage, the small town of Barrow, the area is reportedly
hotbed a paranormal Activity Now barrel.
If you look on the map, you'll find that that is way north and
the very tip of Alaska. Up here along the Arctic Ocean
and kind of in the same general facility vicinity is where that
last UFO was shot down back in February.
As I recall, it says explanations for the strange
phenomena have ranged from everything from alien activity
to powerful electromagnetic fields.
In the area similar to those found in the Bermuda Triangle,
local ledges referred to a Sasquatch creature terrorizing
towns. This includes 1 settlement
called Port Luck on the southern edge of the Kenai Peninsula,
which was abandoned in the 1950s after villages were, quote,
attacked and killed by an unknown creature they called the
Nantanuck. In recent years, however, the
area has been the backdrop to thousands of unexplained
vanishings. Despite being just 1% inhabited,
Alaska has far and away the most missing people compared to any
other state, with an average of 42.16 per 100,000.
According to the World Population Review.
The next highest state for missing persons is Arizona with
12.28, double the national average of 6 1/2 people per
100,000. More recently, Shannon Oman, 43,
disappeared while visiting a friend of Fairbanks on June 3rd,
2019. Oman had made arrangements to
get a ride home with a friend, but never materialized or
returned home. She left without any belongings
or her dog, and her disappearance has perplexed
authorities who searched for days using helicopters and K9
units. Even experienced outdoorsmen are
not safe. In 2011, mountain rescuer Gerald
de Berry, 43, went out with a group in the White Mountains
about 70 miles north of Fairbanks, to search for a
missing woman, but never returned from the expedition.
A year later, his ATV was discovered with the engine
switched off, but no sign of its owner.
So you got this guy. He's out there and experienced
outdoorsman. He's actually searching to try
to find a lost person. It ends up disappearing himself.
And how strange? Field researcher Ken Gerhard
told The History Channel that the triangle could be vile
Vortez a Lozen shaped area with increased electromagnetic force.
He said the theory is that these particular areas are
supercharged with Geo electromagnetic energy, and that
abundance of electromagnetic energy results in some strange
things. A new Discovery documentary has
interviewed people with some of the most compelling paranormal
experiences. They include Wes Smith, who saw
very strange triangular objects flying without emitting any
sound, he said. It's like everything you've ever
been taught has gone out the window because how is that
possible? UFO expert Debbie Zieglemark
told The Daily Star that Alaska's sparse population makes
it attractive to extraterrestrials.
They can pretty much go where they want, said Debbie, who is a
Star team investigator from MUFON.
That's the attraction of Alaska. Well, I can tell you there are
just miles and miles and miles of uninhabited snow covered
mountains when you're flying over that state.
It's just it's just remarkable. Mufon believes that aliens could
be trying to spy on the military technology on display across the
Alaskan Triangle, and points to a rise in UFO sightings since
World War 2. That could just be because
there's more of us up there, too.
Maybe these things have been there all along.
One of the biggest disappearances was the loss of
44 military personnel boarded Douglas C, 54, Sky Master en
route from Alaska to Montana. Despite one of the biggest joint
search and rescue missions by Canadian and American
authorities, no trace has ever been found.
Meanwhile, cryptozoologist Cliff Barakman told the outlet that
anything of any size could be hiding in the Alaskan
wilderness. He said it was so much fantastic
habitat and so few people to compete with Sasquatch.
Basically have a run of Alaska. Well, he's got a point because
you have so much area up there where while the animals can
inhabit it, the people just aren't around.
Now I want to take a look at this next article and get in
this a little bit more now. The article talked about a place
called Port Lock, Alaska, and I found this article on Alaska
legends.org. It says true American ghost town
frozen in time, mysterious disappearance of Port Lock,
Alaska. A haunting enigma nestled at the
southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, the abandoned ghost
town of Port Lock, also known as Port Chatham, carries a chilling
history that continues to perplex and haunt those who dare
to delve into its intimatic past.
The once thriving community surrounded by breathtaking
landscapes, has transformed into a place of fear and uncertainty
due to a series of mysterious disappearances and unsettling
occurrences. A dark history enveils the
stories that surround Portland and are steeped in local legends
and chilling tales passed down through generations.
According to the Supiak people, an ominous creature known as
Natanak, often described as a massive, hairy humanoid with an
otherworldly presence, is believed to have been
responsible for the eerie happenings in the town.
The origins of the mysterious figure are unclear, but its
alleged involvement in a string of disappearances and gruesome
murders has left an indelible mark on the history of Portland.
In the 1940s, Portland witnessed a wave of terror that led its
residents to flee their homes and haste.
The reports of dismembered bodies and the discovery of
mutilated remains in nearby rivers, lagoons and trails
triggered a mass exodus, leaving behind a town frozen in time the
community's fear of net to neck, a creature that some like to
like in the Sasquatch reached its peak, driving people to
abandon their once beloved homes.
The Unexplainable Phenomenon. As the word years drew to a
close, those who remain steadfastly in Portland
recounted chilling stories of inexplicable phenomena.
People vanished without a trace, leaving their families and
friends and a state of perpetual uncertainty.
At times, bodies would surface showing signs of being brutally
torn apart, the sinister atmosphere only deep in the air
of dread that had settled over the town.
By the 1950s, the streets that were once bustling with life had
been deserted, the remnants of a community left in disarray.
The rave hunters who ventured back into the forsaken town
reported every sightings of 18 inch footprints resembling those
of a human, but with a bizarre deerlike or wolf like pattern.
The chilling tale of Port Locks disappearance extends beyond its
boundaries. More than ten locations across
Alaska have reported Bigfoot like sightings, suggesting that
the mystery entity may be a roaming traveler with a penchant
for the uncharted. As darkness shrouds the history
of Portlock, it's deserted streets and empty homestand is a
haunting testament to the inexplicable.
The unanswered questions that haunt Portlock will continue to
fuel curiosity and fear for generations to come.
Yeah, this is so strange that people just had all these
reports of ice, I guess missing people, dead people, and finally
they just had the end of it. Just it's a band of this little
town there. It just doesn't make any sense
to me. Now I want to look at this next
article as we talk about these missing people, 20,000 missing
people since 1970 in Alaska. Now I found this site called
bfro.net and they actually list like actual first person
encounters with Bigfoot. And you can go here and take a
look at them at the buy me coffee website.
I'll put the links up this one here.
This accounts from 2004 says season winter month, February
state, Alaska county, Anchorage county.
It says location details up near power line clearings east of
Potter Martian Anchorage, nearest town Anchorage slash
Hillside. No real roads in the area
observed. I and two of my friends were
bored one night, so we decided to do a little snow machining.
Though it was illegal to snow machine in Anchorage, there were
some good trails to ride on a little north of my house.
We took off probably 11:00 PM, rode up the road about 1/4 mile
and cut off on the trails. It had snowed about 10 inches a
few days before, so there was fresh snow with no tracks.
I was leading the way for about 1/2 hour when we stopped and
talked for a little bit. We took off again and kept
cruising on some sort of game trail that led to an opening in
the woods. I rode off in the opening with
my friends following about 50 yards behind me.
I came over this little mountain and saw strange tracks leading
to the spot in the snow where it looked like something had pushed
aside some snow and laid down. I figured it was just a moose or
something, but I followed the tracks over the next hill and as
I came down the far side, my headlight pointed right on the
back of a Bigfoot. It was only about 10 to 12 feet
in front of me. It was running in the opposite
direction. I slammed on the brakes because
I was scared out of my mind. It continued to run away, jumped
over a dead log in snow, and disappeared into a group of
trees into the darkness. I was so surprised and scared.
I quickly turned around and wrote back to my friends.
I met them back by the 1st mount and said we need to get out of
here and rode back towards my house.
When I told about it back near my house they laughed and told
me it was probably a bear or someone in the woods but I was
100% positive this was not a bear or anything else.
The way it was running through the deep snow made me sure it
wasn't anything human for a long time.
I was made fun of and everyone told me I was crazy so I didn't
like talking about it. Then he goes on and says also
notice some tracks in the snow and a clearing in fresh snow
where it looked like a large animal had pushed snow aside and
laid down other witnesses. My two friends were snow
machining behind me but did not see it.
It had been light outside. If it had been light outside,
they may have seen it, but it was pitch black outside.
My only light was from my snow machine.
Wow. This Fall says they've heard a
lot of it. They've heard of a lot of it.
Incidents around Anchorage and of course the sighting was
around midnight. That is fascinating.
I just can't imagine being out there on my snowmobile up in
Alaska like that and coming on coming up on a Bigfoot just
practically face to face or I guess lucky for him face to
back. Now this is another account of
one of these Bigfoot sightings and it's from the same area in
Alaska and Anchorage County and the date on this it says is 2003
month December. The experiencer says me and a
couple of friends had been bored when I decided we should take a
walk through the woods behind my house.
I didn't think much of it is me and my friends have done it many
times before. There were four of us and we set
out at about 11:00 at night It was rather dark, but there was
light from the moon. The weather was rather cold as
we did this in the winter. The area we walked on was game
trails, trails that moose walk on, as well as trails used for
mushers, runners, cross country skiers and that sort.
We had walked about two miles from my house to another
entrance where most people enter.
On the way, we reached the bridge where most people come
in. One friend had smoked a
cigarette. We saw a light and decided to go
on. On the way back we heard wild
dogs barking wildly and decided to pick up the speed.
It eventually became a Sprint, whereafter we walked.
When we walked, we continued talking about it.
It was then I realized something had been following us as well as
testing us or even harassing us. It was much earlier.
I just didn't think about it. I thought it was my friend
Warren who was sometimes clumsy. I thought it was him who had
made noises such as slipping, but it was really something,
throwing stuff at us. I had realized this about
halfway back. I asked if Warren kept slipping
when he told me he that he wasn't and he thought I would
kid even be pulling a prank. We stopped for a minute to
listen when I told the others something strange was going on.
We stopped and showing a flashlight around, hearing
noises such as steps and branches moving and breaking.
The leader had thought I had been playing a joke when I told
him seriously, I wasn't. He decided to walk behind me
when something threw snowballs and nearly hit us on many
occasions. It was then he realized that
this was no joke and we picked up a light jog for most of the
way. When we were almost out of the
woods, we had to get her dogs and maybe 20 feet away, the
branches breaking and again something throwing stuff at us.
By the time we left, it was about 3:00 or 3:30 in the
morning. I did not go directly to my
house because I didn't know if it was still falling us.
I know this was not a prank because the snow is more than
five feet deep in the woods and someone would have an extremely
hard time trying to play a prank like that.
Wow, it says. Also notice we smelled, we
smelled of Cologne and aftershaved and one of them
smoked. Well, possibly these Bigfoot or
whatever it was, we're picking up the smell from these guys.
Now this Bigfoot encounter says that it happened in the summer,
July to be precise. Of course it's Alaska and the
county is Fairbanks County which this would be a ways further
north in Anchorage. It says location details.
The intersection of Auburn and Farmers loop is about 1:00 to
1:00 to 1/2 mile of the of the University of Fairbanks campus.
You should be able to find it on Google Maps easily.
Nearest town Fairbanks nearest Rd.
Auburn Drive, a mile north of Farmers Loop.
Now it says observed it was the month of July 2009 in Fairbanks,
AK. I was heading South on Auburn
Drive toward Farmers Loop, which was about one mile away.
It is a wooded area frequented by homes and in general would be
considered a populated area. Houses are on an average of
about 100 to 200 feet apart, with only the general area
around and close to the homes cleared out.
Most of the area by far is wooded.
It was the section of the road where it passes by.
Pearl Creek Elementary School. The school can be seen through
the woods. Some of the woods in the area
are quite thick and in some places can't be seen into more
than 10 or 15 feet, but in this area it had apparently been
cleaned out quite a bit and sight lines into the section of
the siding were very open. The school and vegetable garden
could be seen off to the right from the road I was on.
It was about 6:00 PM and I was heading home after a day of
working on a deck I was building.
The weather was clear with the sun high in the sky.
As I was driving, I happened to notice a man, quote UN quote,
standing by the right side of the road about 100 yards ahead.
It was more of an unconscious recognition.
There's nothing unusual about a man standing on the side of the
road in this area. As I got to with, as I got to
within about 50 yards, I look closer.
That's no man, I said to myself. I was alone in the car.
Shortly after that one or two seconds he bolted into the woods
toward the school. He did it like a wild animal
would do if spooked. I didn't slow down until I got
to the place where I saw him go into the woods, which is where I
stopped. I could see him running away
from the road and when he was in the woods about 30 yards or so
he turned left and was now running parallel to the road in
the same direction I was heading.
I got a good look at him but not his face.
I could have probably seen his face had I not been so
mesmerized and had their presence of mind to look at it.
I was busy noticing other things.
His fur or hair looked to be about 3 to 4 inches all over the
main part of his body. It was a reddish, rusty color.
I was mildly struck by how red it was, but definitely had some
rustiness to it. He was about 6 feet tall and
looked away about £200. He ran with a strange hoppy kind
of run. It wasn't a limp with the 1 foot
he pushed off with. It was more of a normal running
move, but the other foot he pushed off with it propelled him
upward about a foot or less and forward.
I watched him until he disappeared into the woods.
There was a road about 100 yards ahead and I took off to get to
it so I could turn right, and in 20 yards turn right again to the
road that led to the school parking lot.
So the wooded area he was in was sort of a peninsula and he
seemingly had to be in there somewhere.
The woods I was looking into from that angle were quite thick
and I didn't see him and haven't seen him since.
A little farther up on the right was the school garden that had
people in it around 7:00 to 10:00, which I'm now sorry I
didn't stop to go talk to him about what I saw.
The next day I was driving into work on the deck.
I naturally slowed down in the area.
I saw him stopped. Actually it was surveying the
area when a couple walking their dogs were approaching.
I find them down and told them the story about what happened
the evening before. And they told me that about a
week before they were with their dogs and were on the way and
were on the way to the other side of the school property by
the soccer field and three kids came running over to them saying
did you see the Sasquatch? Did you see the Sasquatch?
They also said that what appeared to be a dad was with
him who didn't seem too excited about it.
My conclusion to whether it was real or not is summed up by
saying it was either real or there was a man in a very, very
convincing costume. I reported it to the Fish and
Game office in Fairbanks a couple days later.
The person was taking the report was sort of rolling his eyes
through the whole thing, as he seemed to be, as he seemed to be
writing it down, that piece of scrap paper.
I even had to ask him to take my phone number just in case.
Yeah, well, that's the problem. Sometimes people report these
things and they just aren't taken seriously And doing the
research for this podcast, it just seems like Alaska because
it's so far away. Because of the fact that only
what 1% of its land mass has even populated so few people in
this huge area that even though there are 20,000 people missing
there since 1970, there doesn't seem to be any level of concern
about this. I noticed it there when I was
there 30 years ago. It just seemed like almost
routine pictures posted. You know, this person's missing,
That person's missing. Maybe they'll look a few days
just like the guy said, and then they're just forgotten about.
It would be the perfect place for somebody to be assaulted by
a Bigfoot or abducted by a UFO, because there's so much
underreporting. And you'll find that when you
look for these Bigfoot reports or UFO reports online about
Alaska, you might as well be looking for reports from South
America because it seems like these sort of things are
severely underreported in this area.
And I don't know if that's just because of the small population
size or because people just don't avail themselves of social
media to write media to really talk about these things.
It's clear to me that in Alaska we have all the stuff going on
with the missing people, with the Bigfoot sightings, with the
UFO sightings, you know, had one shot down there, for crying out
loud. But the fact is, it looks to me
like the stuff is not being reported.
And it looks to me that we have a culture there, people just not
really talking about things like this outside of their own social
circles. We've kind of seen that in
reports. Even these young people that saw
these Bigfoots or the people that spotted these UFO's are
afraid to talk about them. So yeah, there is something
going on in Alaska. I can't put my thumb on it, but
until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
