Published in Weekly World News (USA) 29 years ago, the disappearance of Flight 513, aka Santiago Flight 513, piloted by Captain Miguel Victor Cury, was one of the biggest mysteries of the time. Allegedly “disappearing” in 1954 and suddenly "returning" in 1989, the story attracted a lot of public attention.
Theories ran rampant as to what happened to the flight and its passengers, some even suspected foul play from the pilot. But this disappearance has quite a twist, one that has everyone flabbergasted even almost a century later. Read on to find out about the strange case of Flight 513.

Weekly World News published an article, “1950s Airliner Lands With 92 Skeletons On Board,” by Irwin Fisher on November 14, 1989. The article recounted what happened:
On September 4, 1954, the American-made Lockheed Super Constellation took off for Santiago with 92 people on board. Departing from Aachen, Germany, en route to Chile, it mysteriously lost contact with air traffic control over the Atlantic Ocean. Despite an extensive search, no trace was found.
Then, on October 12, 1989, a startling discovery was made in the Brazilian port city of Porto Alegre, South America. Approaching the wreckage, investigators identified it as a Santiago Airlines (Chile) plane that had been missing for over three decades. Externally, everything seemed remarkably intact.

However, upon entering the aircraft, they were met with a haunting sight: the 92 individuals who had vanished along with Santiago Flight 513 now sat as 92 white skeletons, neatly arranged in their seats! Even Captain Miguel Victor Cury, in his skeletal form, was found in his usual controlled posture.
The chilling tale sent shivers down the spines of the paper's bravest readers, to the point that investigators, scientists, and even physicists got involved, each offered their own explanation…

For authority and trust, the paper then quoted Dr. Celso Atello, who vehemently claimed that the incident was a clear demonstration of the case of "wormholes".
“It’s a paradox,” said the paranormal researcher. “Somehow, Flight 513 entered a time warp and has been caught there for 35 years. It’s a phenomenon that defies all known laws of physics.”

Atello also speculated that the plane and its passengers may have been subjected to a “chronosynclastic infundibulum” – a term coined by science fiction writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr. to describe an invisible tunnel where all the different kinds of truths fit together.
His claims are considered solid and fact-based, at least by the Weekly World News standard. If this truly was the case, then there was nothing anyone could have done to prevent the mysterious disappearance of Flight 315. And so, the disappearance of Flight 513, piloted by Captain Miguel Victor Cury, was believed to be a supernatural phenomenon. That was why people were shocked to their core by the twist…
Santiago Flight 513 Is Just A Product Of Imagination

Yes, Santiago Flight 513 didn’t exist, and neither did the story of its disappearance on the course from Aachen, Germany, to Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Even more surprising, there was no record of Captain Miguel Victor Cury ever found on the US’s Pilot Records Database (PRD), or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), both of which are authorized databases on American airmen and pilots.

In other words: Everything in the article was fabricated! Santiago Flight 513’s disappearance was a hoax!
Because the author wanted to talk about "wormholes" (an unconfirmed concept in science), as well as "time distortions", he made up this whole story to attract public opinion! Above all, Weekly World News (USA) was a popular tabloid in the US, specializing in publishing strange, supernatural, and paranormal stories.
