There's nothing mysterious about Flight 19, if you look into the case - the lead pilot of the flight group was a control freak asshole, his equipment was malfunctioning and telling him he was in the wrong place, the other pilots kept trying to tell him he was wrong, but he outranked 'em, and basically forced them to keep flying in the wrong fucking direction until they ran out of fuel and crashed somewhere in the Atlantic. There's really nothing weird or supernatural about it, just a shitty CO that nobody dared to stand up to when he was completely wrong, and it unfortunately ended up with a bunch of dead, missing pilots, because of shitty military culture in that particular unit.

Yeah. That's cool but not the point here
