5 Haunting Military Mysteries
It was December 8, 1942. A year and a day before, the US naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese forces, opening to the Pacific Theatre of World War II.
Pearl Harbor was on full alert to repel any Japanese attack when radars allegedly picked up a strange signal. One lone aircraft was directly approaching the base.
Two fighters were dispatched to take down the aircraft, but something bizarre happened. What the pilots saw was not a Japanese bomber, but an old American P40 with pre-war insignias.
As two American pilots approached the P40, they noticed it had no landing gear attached. The cabin was entirely destroyed, and the fuselage was torn apart by hundreds of bullet holes.
They were even more surprised to see that the P40 pilot didn’t appear to be alive. Seconds later, the ghostly aircraft lost altitude and crashed in a field.
When rescue crews arrived, they went through the wreckage. There was no sign of the pilot, but a diary was recovered. It indicated that the plane had been stationed on Mindanao, the second-largest island in the Philippines.
For decades, aviators and historians have tried to figure out if the story is true. Some have speculated that the ghostly pilot was a survivor of the Pearl Harbor bombing that repaired his aircraft and decided to return. Others have suggested that it was merely a story of fiction passed on as a ghost tale. No official records of the event exist.
