About This Program ✦
"The Missing Douglas" is a single episode‑length programme that falls within the episode genre. It presents itself as a focused investigation rather than a broader series, and the title signals that the central mystery revolves around a particular disappearance. The format is concise, aiming to unpack a specific historical incident. In this installment, a group of specialists turn their attention to a rather unusual hypothesis: that an interdimensional portal situated somewhere inside the so‑called Alaska Triangle might have been responsible for a vanished aircraft. The experts assess the plausibility of such a portal existing and consider how it could have interacted with conventional aviation. The episode centres on a 1950 incident in which an aeroplane carrying forty‑four members of the armed forces disappeared without a trace. All of the personnel aboard were military, and the loss occurred within the notoriously enigmatic region known as the Alaska Triangle. The programme revisits the details of that flight, the circumstances of its disappearance and the lingering questions that have persisted for decades. Throughout the broadcast, the investigation remains anchored to the idea that the portal theory could explain the aircraft’s sudden absence. By juxtaposing the historical facts of the 1950 disappearance with the speculative science of interdimensional travel, the episode offers a methodical look at one of the Alaska Triangle’s most puzzling mysteries.
The Alaska Triangle broadcasts on Discovery Science +1 at 3:00am, Sunday, 8 February 2026. (Subtitles)
