Flight 19 was a a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers  goingon a training mission. Allan W. Eckertalso  wrote about Flight 19 in April 1962 that the flight leader had been heard saying, "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white." He also wrote that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars."  .the flight was carrying 14 crewmen and disappeared after radioing a series of distress messages; an aircraft sent in search of the squadron also disappeared. Aircraft that have disappeared in the area since this incident include a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 Globemaster with 53 passengers in 1951. Among the ships that have disappeared was the tankership Marine Sculpture Queen, which vanished with 39 men aboard in 1963. Disappearance of Flight 19 was one of the best-known incident  . Apart from it number of ships have disappeared in Bermuda triangle.Among them is the Mary Celeste, an American merchant ship, in 1872. The ship was sailing from New Yorkto Genoa, but was later found off thecoast of Africa without any crew members on board. Although there is no evidence that the Mary Celeste even entered the Bermuda Triangle or not , however, most of people connect its mysterious disappearance with the area.
