It is called "The Bermuda Triangle" of the Great Lakes. The imagination of people stating this is illustrated in the video below. Many state the evidence of this is found at depth in Lake Michigan where USA military aircraft can be found.
There is finally an answer to this phenomena.
A very talented art curator has been able to find and piece together a fascinating history regarding the US Air Force and WWII. Kindly listen to an interview with Ms. Amanda Wetzel (click here).
It would seem as though the aircraft resting at the bottom of Lake Michigan were student pilots learning to fly the planes that would carry bombs to Hitler and potentially Japan.
So how did they get the aircraft carriers to Lake Michigan? They built them using large ferries that were more like water taxis for the area. Below is an article.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI -- Loose lips sink ships.
The familiar mantra (click here) was prevalent around Northern Michigan in the early 1940s, when a pair of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers traversed Lake Michigan on daily pilot training operations the local folks knew about but didn't discuss.
"You didn't know who you could trust," said Amanda Wetzel, assistant director at the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum near Northport.
"The belief among everyone up here was that there were German and Japanese spies everywhere," said Wetzel, who has spent months researching the secret naval training on Lake Michigan during World War II....
Ms. Wetzel is opening the exhibit soon, however, she has only been able to raise enough funding for six months. She is hopeful to have additional funding when people realize how important this exhibit is to the region and country. It is a point of pride to the Great Lakes and the people that witnessed the intense training to defeat the enemies of the USA. Many facts and artifacts came from former soldiers and their families when they learned about the project.
Ms. Wetzel is still finding facts and artifacts regarding this incredible effort. The project has the potential to unlock vast amounts of information from the region.
The flattops known as SS See Bee and the USS Wolverine were docked in Chicago at the Navy Pier. They trained 17,000 pilots during the years of the war. The reason Lake Michigan was chosen by the USA military was because of the German U-Boats patroling the Atlantic Ocean.
If this project proves to be as important as expected Ms. Wetzel is hoping it will be a permanent exhibit in the region to draw the interest of veterans and Americans on vacation.
Oh, well. So much for UFOs and the Bermuda Triangle of the Great Lakes.
