On the 28th of August, 1963, a pair of U.S.
Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft collided and crashed into the Atlantic 300 miles west of Bermuda.
Some writers say that while the two aircraft did collide, there were two distinct crash sites, separated by over 160 miles of water.
However, Akusha's research showed that the unclassified version of the Air Force investigation report revealed that the debris field defining the second crash site was examined by a search and rescue ship and found to be a mass of seaweed and driftwood tangled in an old buoy.
The Devil's Sea, also known as the Devil's Triangle, the Dragon's Triangle, the Formosa Triangle, and the Pacific Bermuda Triangle, is a region of the Pacific south of Tokyo.
The Devil's Sea is sometimes considered a paranormal location, though the veracity of these claims has been questioned.
The Japanese word Manoumi, translated as Devil Sea, Troublesome Sea, or Dangerous Sea, has been widely used to describe dangerous marine locations around the world.
This means that there are many locations that the Japanese call Manoumi.
In August of 1945, a Mitsubishi A6M-0 supposedly went missing.
A distress radio transmission from 0F Wing Commander Pilot Shiro Kawamoto, crossing the triangle near the end of the war, created more questions than answers.
The last thing his message said was, Something is happening in the sky.
On January 4th, 1955, Japanese ship Shinomaru No.
10 lost radio contact near Mikurajima.
Japanese newspapers then began to label the location as Mano Umi until the ship was found safe on the 15th of January.
Yomiuri Shimbun showed a map of the sea with points of several other ships that had been lost in recent years, and stated that those ships were lost within the area that the Yokohama Coast Guard office had classified as a special danger area.
In the U.S., the New York Times introduced this incident with the term the Devil's Sea, where nine ships had been lost in perfect weather.
Yomiuri Shimbun described the size of the Mano Umi as follows.
From the Izu Islands to east of the Ogasawara Islands, about 200 miles east to west, and about 300 miles north to south, where nine ships were lost in the past five years.
However, two of the nine ships were lost near Miyakejima and Iwojima, about 750 miles apart.
In 1974, American paranormal writer Charles Berlitz introduced the Devil's Sea in his book, The Bermuda Triangle.
