At least in the movie it was blamed on aliens. Real life, I guess we
won't know until they are found. Where the heck is that Titanic /
Yorktown guy!!

Where'd the planes come from that were shown at the beginning of the
movie? Where are they now?

And for a question not based on reality, why wasn't the desert winds
blowing them around? The aliens didn't leave them tied down or chocked.


I didn't see the movie but a director once told me there's movies and
there's real life.

Were they MILITARY aircraft?



Yes, Tex, they were. Avenger torpedo bombers, representing the 5 missing
TBMs of "Flight 19" (though no sign of a Martin flying boat, which also
went "missing" while searching for the missing TBMs.). A classic
"Bermuda Triangle" moment, being blamed on aliens.
