"Glitch in the Matrix" Discovered: AlaskaAir Flight #77 Data Shows Plane Vanished for 47 Seconds Over the Pacific
A data analyst claims to have discovered a bizarre anomaly in the flight logs of an AlaskaAir Boeing 737—a 47-second gap where the aircraft's transponder and altitude data completely vanished mid-flight over the open ocean, only to reappear 300 nautical miles off course. Experts say this has never been seen in the FAA's ADS-B database, and the official explanation suggests a "system dual-failure," but internal chatter points to something far stranger. Was the plane simply untrackable, or did it blink out of existence?
