On August 2, 1947, the British South American Airways Star Dust, which took off from Buenos Aires bound for Santiago, transformed what began as an ordinary flight over the Andes Mountains into one of aviation history's greatest mysteries. Just minutes before reaching Santiago, the aircraft's radio operator transmitted the word "STENDEC" three times in Morse code. Then the plane, with its 11 passengers, vanished without a trace.

For over fifty years, no definitive trace of the plane or its passengers was found. While wreckage discovered on the Tupungato Glacier in 1998 largely shed light on the fate of the Star Dust, the meaning of the word "STENDEC" in the final message remains a mystery. This report examines the minute-by-minute timeline of the flight, the mysterious radio message, the search efforts, the discovery of the wreckage, and the prominent theories surrounding the event.
