Before you say anything, no, I didn't ask its permission, but I mean c'mon, if a dog is laying around being all sexy and shit, lifting its tale and flashin' its badge at me everytime I walk by its basically an invitation!! It DEFINITELY knew what it was doing being all flirty, tempting me with that tongue while drinking outta a puddle, then sniffing a sheep's ass while Im watching, trying to make me all jealous.... it was TOTALLY askin for it, I basically didn't have a choice, so you really cant blame me for sneaking up on that ass and smashing it hard and deep, over and over- givin the ol' half, half, whole stroke until I pulled out like a gentleman and sprayed rope all over that hairy back!! It doesn't matter that it was male, that doesn't count as doing gay shit, ask anyone. Anyway, thats the sound I love.... Fuck, now I'm all horny but its late and everybody's dog is inside....

In Alaska where I used to live, I've seen bush pilots hit a headwind just right and set down a bush plane in a matter of a few feet, some areas have competitions to find the pilot that can land a plane in the shortest area, the current record is out of Valdez, at 9 feet 5 inches, (roughly 2.87 meters) essentially sticking the landing, rather than a rolling stop like most aircraft. Is it possible that the pilot did something similar in this case?

I know of crashed ww2 bomber far out in the wilderness near a very popular National Park. It's not exactly a secret, the military finished any recovery effort shortly after it happened. However it never made any newspaper that I know of and seemingly everyone forgot about it. Then a few locals rediscovered it in the 90s. Ever since then it has been a secret spot only shared amongst a small circle of locals. It made it to me in the mid 00s because I was a local of the area (before I later moved), a voracious hiker, and my family has deep roots in the area. The friend who told me and i resolved to go see it one summer. He was an active marathon runner and I had done my fair share of stomping up mountainsides in the recent past, despite this, we could not make it to the spot. It lays a dozen miles past the mountain lake terminus of one of the hardest hiking trails in the whole park, we did get past that area. But after that we discovered the area surrounding the wreck is a series of ungodly ascents and descents not accurately portrayed by the topo maps. We had near run ourselves to complete exhaustion just attempting the first 2km section after the lake so we called it off and went back to the lake to overnight and then return. We returned so thrashed and injured (sunburnt, dehydrated, cut up from bushwalking, and the entire soles of both my feet became giant blisters that then excruciatingly popped halfway back) that we never attempted it again. It's a deathtrap and after our attempt I knew why it's kept secret and I had a new inkling as to the fate of a few familiar names that had gone missing over the years. If I hadnt seen photos of it nestled in the jprecarious and jagged terrain I would think it was a cruel joke. I hope the location of the plane is still a secret known to a handful because something like that is too enticing for people not to throw away their lives getting to it.

In fact, it was resting on its belly perfectly. The Green Berets blew their way inside and found the deceased crew still sitting in their seats as if they were doing their usual tasks at hand, but their bodies were horribly cut up and bruised as if they were attacked by some animal.

[@johnbeauvais3159]

Your statement about the AN-2 stall speed isn’t quite right, generally a stall occurs when the relative airflow over the wings is slow enough that you experience boundary layer separation and the wing stops generating lift. In something like a biplane this speed is typically lower because of the huge effective wing area to generate lift. It is possible that the aircraft was loaded in a condition where the center of gravity was dangerously close to the center of lift (center of pressure to the pedants) such that in a stall the aircraft wouldn’t want to tip nose down out of the stalled condition. This means you could have a situation where if the plane had an engine failure and the crew trimmed the plane nose up, it could have rode down to the ground darn near vertically, and been intact when it got to the ground. My theory is the crew bailed when they ran low or out of fuel and then the aft loaded plane fell mostly vertical into the forest, it’s possible the latches would have closed and locked after the crew exited like on other aircraft, or there was slight damaged which caused a warping of the airframe and jammed the door shut.

@@skylined5534 like I said, it’s possible at least. If it was hauling something like ammunition or something else suitably heavy they could have been fine on takeoff but as they consumed fuel the center of gravity would have shifted further and further back until the plane was dangerously tail heavy. If they had a headwind and burned excessive amounts of fuel the crew could have been left facing a crash landing into a forest at night when they ran out of fuel, instead choosing to bail out and take a relatively safe parachute ride to the ground.

Exactly the point I was about to make bud. Ok, so there's a possibility that a good pilot could have glided that distance if the weather was in their favour and yes a good pilot may have been able to get it down with minimal damage but why the hell were they there in the first place, if they'd encountered a problem with the plane you'd simply loop back to your departure location or continue to the destination if it was that close, not fly and glide nearly 12,000 miles away. Russia is like the US, there's thousands if not hundreds of thousands of miles of wilderness, perfect location for things that don't want to be seen to hide out.

Mind, the thing about military operations is that they are most always controlled information and so we cannot readily verify anything. Militaries lie all the time, even to themselves! What is the best way to protect a secret? Don't let anyone but the people who HAVE to know know, and create false reports to keep the rest from knowing. If the only people who know the truth keep quiet, then it extremely difficult to prove it didn't happen as claimed by the false reports. This applies to everything "in the records." For all we know, the truth is the plane was on a secret delivery mission to a secret Siberian location, crashed and wrecked, and the pieces of the crew were recovered in secret. However, nothing says the official report cannot be written to say the plane was flying to a known base, went missing, and was found intact without crew in the opposite direction.

Heeeey, I have a related story, I wish I had more details, but unfortunately it took place in Ghana in the 90s. I have a friend who moved to the US, and apparently this was big news in his settlement and he saw it himself, part of why he became an airline pilot was the fascinating it caused but: In the middle of a dense part of the Ghanan jungle, was... a Cesna, not a huge Cesna, but not a small one. It was sitting clean, new, landed perfectly in a forest. There was no way to taxi, no way to land, and even if the plane had come down totally vertically it would probably have been caught in the foliage. The entire city he grew up in was talking about it, and he went and played on it and in it. When he came back the next day, with more people to go see the cesna again, the plane was gone, completely removed. Its tires still had indentations, the area was still clear, but its like the Cesna was there and gone again. I'll be honest, It's not first hand, but the guy was always a nice, responsible guy.

The other soldier was dead. He took the survivor to Elmendorf AFB. At that time you got $150 to bring in a commie POW, but the base CG said there was no reward for rescuing their people. A Colonel finally got him $150 then wanted him to bring in the dead guy, which he did for $200. After that he took the wings off the airplane and also brought that back for $200.

My father stationed at an Air Force base in the 1980s which handled nuclear weapons, and in one part of the base there were these cement buildings which had no known use to them, their doors were welded shut, the windows cemented in, there was no visible way to access them. And there were all kinds of rumors about what these buildings were, one of them was a theory that there some kind of government project for controlling the country in event of nuclear war, and people would talk about “four corners” meaning that there were four sets of these buildings in Washington state, Maine, Florida, and California. Years later after my father left the Air Force he found a book written about the early days of Air Force nuclear weapons, and it turns out the buildings were originally just storage for nuclear weapon cores. They were stored in vaults in the buildings and brought out to arm nuclear weapons in alert air craft, then the Air Force changed the design of weapons and so the old buildings were unneeded, so they were sealed and abandoned. And there were in fact four facilities that housed these cores. So military rumor is something that happens

One thing i could also imagine, is that an old, surplus Antonov was placed in the woods in the depths of Siberia, as a target, or as a part of a training excercise, maybe to train bomber pilots, or special forces, or for a (nuclear?) weapons test, but then the endeavor was just given up, or endes up not damaging the plane, and the was plane forgotten about. This could explain a variety of things like: The plane being set somewhere it could not have landed: they airdropped it in via a big helicopter, something the soviets did a lot. :Flight controls being engaged: Who cares what the plane is set for, if you sling it under a Mi26 ? The flight report not mentioning anything out of the ordinary, and being wildly out of date: Just a log from one of its last flights, left behind in a condemned plane Weapons and Gear being left in the plane: maybe it was needed for the test/exercise The hush-hush nature of the operation: As the paratroopers were on their mission, the branch/government office that put the plane there likely called into the airbase and told them that it was a secret affair to keep it that way, maybe because it was irradiated, maybe because it was part of some secret survival training.

[@peteranderson037]

The An-2's lack of a published stall speed doesn't mean what you think it means. When flying on the back end of the envelope the plane will require more power, and thus more fuel, to stay in level flight. Yes, it can remain controllable at speeds low enough that a strong enough wind will push it backwards, but this isn't the most fuel efficient way to fly.

[@warmstrong5612]

It can also technically fly backwards with a strong enough headwind. Seen videos of it.

Seems perfectly plausible for an An-2 to have plonked down in the middle of the woods if the wind was blowing enough that it could make a controlled 'stationary' landing in some trees; certainly couldn't take off again though unless the pilots can control the wind.

So many crazy stories, like when the americans drop a nuke on Canada, The 1950 B-50 nuclear loss incident. The bomb didn't contain a plutonium core but the explosion was still massive. Apparently the pilots had some difficulty maintaining altitude so they choose to jettison the nuke they were carrying over the St-Lawrence river.

[@stanislavkostarnov2157]

a few details, possibly adding a little context... firstly, if this was anything like an "expedition type" Antonov, there is basically no point in Siberia it would be out of place in terms of basic capability... I know from experience flying on AN2s with the local forestry service that people used all kinds of tricks to keep the plane successfully running in the wilderness for multiple days without outside assistance... technically, you have a fuel limit, but, makeshift extra fuel bladders are common, often more than tripling the range... as are small fuel cashes at lodges along the way, since, you can basically use any cheapest lamp oil to run the thing... you can also land an AN2 anywhere, simply put, the trees in the northern taiga are sparse enough that the plane (given visibility and a skilled pilot) can maneuver in the few dozen meters in between them, whilst the smaller trees are soft and supple enough that they will do no damage to the fuselage whilst the clearing formed will return to normal forest within just a few summer days (short summers mean a lot of herbal activity when it's season) the harnesses being "fixed shut" is also quite likely because they were never worn... this was not common practice if there is no officer to see... as for what happened, could be anything... possibly, something they were carrying was radioactive or poisonous, resulting in deteriorating health... what if they did what a desperate driver might do... stop at the side of the road to let everyone sort out there gastral issues... what if that was the last thing they ever did.... just one theory... could also be they just stopped to refuel and encountered a wild animal which they attempted to chase off and got killed. a lot of possibilities, but the mystery of the plane itself feels totally unsuspicious to me.

[@littleredwitch]

One question: were the fuel tanks empty, 3/4, or reasonably full? I guess they would have checked that but “forgot” to mention it. Anything is possible with the Soviets.

You should do a video about the Chupacabra, both the American one and the Latin American one since they both look very different, the American one looks more dog like while the Latin American one is a lot more bizarre, creepy and alien looking, with big red eyes, greenish scaly skin, with big spikes running down its back My memory is of this is a bit dated so I might have forgotten a few details, but I remember as a child in Puerto Rico around 2008 I was at a Burger King late at night, I'd say around 9pm or 10pm so we were pretty much the only people out on the road during that time, this Burger King is next to a grassy field and I notice something moving through the tall grass in the distance, I see it get up and it looks almost humanoid and it stares back at our car before making a run for it into the darkness of the night while still on its two legs, ever since that day I've been wondering what the hell did I just see, maybe I was so tired that I started seeing things, but whatever it was it wasn't human. I've encountered many things while I used to live on the island as well as heard stories from my parents and grandparents of supernatural encounters, one of those was a UFO encounter over my grandparent's house, it flew pretty darn close over the house. But the most interesting one was one story dad told me about a UFO crash that happened in Lajas, PR, and he said the boom was so loud it shook the classroom, when he left the school he went to investigate and upon discovering the crash site he said the place was swarming with black vehicles and men in suits, when one of the men caught him the man scolded him and told him to scram and run away.

My problem with this story is that we have no firm proof about what the plane actually carried. At no point do we have something that shows that human forces did not do it. Aside from the explanations provided, it's still possible that the plane could have been helicoptered into place for some reason. We don't have definite proof of a plane manifest so know what or who was aboard is impossible.

[@truthseeker2321]

That's assuming that the story is even true. Supposedly, it in an area thousands of miles from any military or civilian airport, and it's beyond the aircraft's maximum flight range. Taking it in by helicopter would be a stretch too, since helicopters have less operating range than a fixed wing aircraft.

[@rileyfaelan]

Antonov An-2 and its successor, An-3, are notorious for being able to fall out of sky, unpowered and unpiloted, with a degree of safety, and without necessarily requiring a runway. Their huge flight surfaces allowed them to behave somewhat like rigid parachutes in absence of active piloting. These planes were primarily meant for civilian use by poorly trained rural pilots in farming operations, so in their time, this was considered a useful feature, a rare case of giving a thought to failsafety in a Soviet design. Under some circumstances, they can even come down pretty much vertically, that is, at near-zero ground speed, but this requires favourable wind conditions and, if done on purpose, a wee bit of piloting. It's not considered a good practice, but it's not impossible.

[@TheKulu42]

I find myself leaning to the rational explanation. The Russian plane managed to land, but it was damaged. The crew was able to send a distress call and were rescued; however, due to space and fuel limitations, they couldn't take the passengers' weapons and equipment, so those items were left behind. The military authorities didn't retrieve the plane because the cost of the effort would be greater than that of the plane itself, so it's abandoned. It's forgotten, but then spotted again and visited. Trees have grown close to it by that time, and the story gets embellishments until it becomes an urban legend.

[@f114163]

My vote on this is that either a lone pilot or crew deserted. They took off on a genuine flight mission, hence the equipment on board, but then stole the aircraft and took a course of their own. Leaving the paratroopers behind or perhaps never picking them up as they were supposed to. They flew to the limits of the aircraft's range with no intention of returning. Avoiding military bases and established flight paths to reduce the chance of radar tracking. Then deliberately landed in a totally isolated place where they knew it would take months to find the aircraft. Next, obscured every piece of evidence that they could. Possibly setting the aircraft's config. for "in-flight" and fastening the empty harnesses to further confuse anyone who investigated. A powered item such as a light was left switched on to ensure the aircraft's batteries would be dead when it was found. Then the flight crew vanished, never to speak of the incident again as they would have been shot for desertion. The military would attempt to suppress this hence the orders not to discuss the event. While anyone curious was warned not to ask dangerous questions.

The Antinov is capable of STOL and in a strong headwind could with a skilled pilot use the throttle and high lift capacity of the wings to land the plane almost vertically, so likely the real reason for the plane being there was there was some emergency, probably a storm with extreme winds and the pilot used the planes STOL abilities to drop the aircraft into a clearing in the woods, then they trekked out, alot of the other stuff was embellished over the years.
