More than 160 years after a doomed Arctic expedition, archaeologists recently discovered the wreckage of both ships-- The HMS Erebus, south of King William Island, and The HMS Terror just 30 miles away.As excitement builds for the discoveries, some in nearby Gjoa Haven fear the wrecks' dark legacy of death will resurface now that the ships final resting places have been disturbed.
When an unidentified radar blip was detected over Lake Michigan in 1953, First Lieutenant Felix Moncla Jr. Was dispatched in an F-89 Scorpion to intercept and disappeared without a trace. No wreckage was ever found. Did Moncla experience vertigo or encounter an unexplained storm? Or was it something more extraterrestrial?
