Okay, so I posted this to The Question Club, and some kindly person suggested that maybe you guys could help me out on this one! It's been driving me nuts.
I distantly remember reading a story when I was little from a paperback of collected unexplained mysteries. The book was kinda old, and the cover I remember on my version had a pair of hands cradling but not touching a glowing light bulb, superimposed over a shot of the ocean. The story I'm interested in was about a plane crashing, and I think it was supposed to be true.
What I remember goes like this: it was not a passenger plane, and it was being flown by a pilot and co-pilot. When it was in the air, the control station began receiving strange and frantic radio messages from them, saying that there was something in the plane with them that shouldn't have been. They got more and more panicked, and the pilot died. The co-pilot landed the plane, but died immediately after, before anybody could figure out what happened. When the plane was opened, there was nothing there but a strange smell and I think some weird dust. It may or may not have been in the Bermuda Triangle, and I think it may have been suggested that it was aliens.
I've tried google and looked through snopes, but I've come up blank.
Has anybody else ever heard this story? Is there any suggestion that it's true, or is it actually a fiction story and I just forgot? If it is true, does anybody know where I could find out more?
