AJ: 本期节目讲述了二战中发生的“幽灵要塞”事件,一架B-17轰炸机在机组人员跳伞逃生后,依靠自动驾驶仪成功着陆。这一事件引发了人们对于超自然现象的猜测,但实际上是由于飞机在执行任务中受损严重,机组人员被迫跳伞,而飞机在自动驾驶仪的控制下最终安全着陆。虽然故事中添加了一些细节,例如半食用的巧克力和完好无损的降落伞,但这些细节并非事件的核心,而是为了增强故事的离奇程度。事件的核心是飞机在无人驾驶的情况下成功着陆,这本身就是一个令人惊叹的事实。 该事件由两个故事混合而成。1943年,一架B-17轰炸机坠毁,机组人员跳伞逃生,目击者误以为飞机无人驾驶。1944年,德博尔特的飞机在自动驾驶仪的控制下着陆,这并非罕见事件,但由于一些细节的添加,使得该事件变得更加神秘和引人注目。 调查人员通过调查记录,证实了事件的真实性,并解释了飞机自动着陆的原因。尽管目击者对调查结果表示怀疑,但事件的真相是飞机在自动驾驶仪的控制下成功着陆,这本身就是一个令人难以置信的奇迹。
