Topic: Stendec


  
  NOVA Online | Vanished! | STENDEC Theories
The word STENDEC was corrupted into Stendek and became the name of a Spanish UFO magazine.
Not understanding the word "STENDEC" he queried it and had the same word repeated by the aircraft twice in succession.
Many people who wrote in pointed out that STENDEC is an anagram of 'descent.' Variations suggested that the crew might have been suffering from hypoxia (lack of oxygen), because the Lancastrian was unpressurized and the plane was flying at 24,000 feet, which might have led the radio operator to scramble the message.

  Stardust (crashed airplane)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
"Stendec" was the last morse code radio transmission received from the airliner just before it vanished.
A comprehensive search of a wide area, including what is now known to have been the crash site, revealed not the slightest trace of a crash.
However, no plausible explanation of the word stendec has yet emerged and it remains a mystery to this day.

 BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - Vanished: The Plane That Disappeared
Variations suggested that the crew might have been suffering from hypoxia (lack of oxygen) as the Lancastrian was unpressurised and the plane was flying at 24000 feet, which would have led the radio operator to scramble the message.
Furthermore, whilst it is relatively easy to imagine STENDEC being scrambled into descent in English, it is much harder in Morse code.
It seems clear that STENDEC is not what the message was meant to say.

 Stardust (airplane) - Definition, explanation
"STENDEC" was the last morse code radio transmission received from the airliner at 17:45 standard time, probably just before it crashed.
However, STENDEC was reported by the radio operator at Santiago airport to be the end of "loud and clear" but keyed "very fast" received message from Stardust ("ETA Santiago 17.45 [standard time] STENDEC").
This would mean that "STENDEC" was simply the Stardust notifying the end of Morse transmission, as according to its assumed position at the time of sending the last message (17.41 hrs), the plane would be closing into range for voice communication.

Stendec's debut album, 'A Study Of 'And'' is available on June 14th through Expanding Records.

 NOVA Online | Vanished! | Solve the Mystery of STENDEC
As the NOVA program "Vanished!" makes clear, modern science has answered most of the questions surrounding the 1947 crash of the civilian aircraft Stardust in the Andes east of Santiago, Chile.
