GHOST FLIGHT: Pan Am Jet ‘Lands’ 30 Years Late — With Pilot Insisting It’s Still 1955
CARACAS, VENEZUELA — In what aviation experts are calling an impossibility, a Pan Am Douglas DC-4 reportedly touched down at Simón Bolívar International Airport on Wednesday — three decades after it vanished without a trace.
Flight 914, which departed New York for Miami on July 2, 1955, reappeared as suddenly as it had disappeared, according to the popular paranormal publication Spooky Earth, which broke the story in its latest “Spooky Year” special edition.
Witnesses on the tarmac claim the vintage aircraft taxied to a remote gate, its paint faded and its propeller engines long obsolete. When ground crew opened the hatch, they were met by a confused captain who reportedly asked, “What’s the delay? When do we unload?”
The pilot allegedly produced a 1955 flight manifest and expressed bewilderment upon learning the year was 1985.
“He handed me a logbook that hadn’t been stamped in three decades,” said a senior air traffic controller who spoke on condition of anonymity. “Then he asked if Pan Am was still running lunch shuttles to Idlewild.”
Within an hour, authorities say the plane took off again, disappearing from radar as it headed south over the Caribbean. No trace of the aircraft has been found since.
The Federal Aviation Administration declined to comment, stating that no official record of the incident exists. Aviation historians note that the story of Flight 914 has circulated since the 1960s, often shifting in details but never substantiated by documentation.
Still, believers say this latest account — reportedly corroborated by multiple Venezuelan ground staff — demands reconsideration.
“We don’t explain it,” wrote the editors of Spooky Earth. “We just report what landed in front of us.”
Whether time slip, hoax, or genuine anomaly, the legend of Pan Am 914 continues to evade closure — much like the flight itself.
