The Strange Mystery of Santiago Flight 513 That ‘Disappeared’ In 1954 only to Land Again in 1989 with Skeletons on Board

An unauthorized plane suddenly appeared above Porto Alegre airport, which was Santiago flight 513’ destination

The Porto Alegre airport in Brazil saw an unauthorized plane circling the airbase 35 years later, on 12th October 1989. When the air traffic controllers tried to contact the pilot, they received no reply. Finally, the plane reached within a few feet of the runway and landed safely. Even after the plane had touched down, the engines were still operating and appeared well-kept. Once the unidentified flight landed, everyone couldn’t believe it was the same Santiago Flight 513 that went missing decades ago. But what people saw next was even more shocking.

The airport authorities approached the flight cautiously and saw something really scary

A shudder ran down everyone’s spine when they saw the plane’s door open on the tarmac from the outside, and it was like a sight straight out of a horror movie. There were 92 skeletons on board that were remarkably well-preserved. Eighty-eight of the skeletons were identified as passengers, and four were of the crew members on board. These skeletons were found “safely” belted into their seats. Upon opening the cockpit doors, Captain Miguel Victor Cury, the plane’s skeleton pilot, was also found still seated at the controls with his hands on the wheel.

According to a report in the “Weekly World News Tabloid 14th November 1989 Edition,” Irwin Fisher, a newspaper reporter for The New York Times, confirmed the hazy aspects of the missing Santiago Airlines Flight 513. Whether or not these reports are accurate or just a fantastic hoax, it’s hard to tell.
