Boeing 737 plane turns up in a field and nobody knows who put it there

We all misplace things from time to time... it's easy to lose your keys or your wallet, but have you ever lost a plane?

In case you're reading this and realize that you haven't seen your Boeing 737 in a while, you might want to head over to Bali to pick it up.

Perhaps in a similar type of situation to when you park your car and completely forget where you left it, it seems that this has happened to a plane.

The mysterious Boeing 737 sits in a field in Southern Bali near a limestone quarry, and nobody has a clue about how it got there.

As documented on Atlas Obscura, the plane is situated off the Raya Nusa Dua Selatan Highway which is near the popular Pandawa beach, which means that it isn't hidden away from the world.

This makes it even stranger that nobody knows how the plane came to be where it is, considering it's surrounded by busy roads and popular destinations. Someone must have seen the passenger plane arrive, right?

The author of the Atlas Obscura page, Tony Dunnell, offered advice to those who want to see it: "The view of the plane is obstructed from the highway, so you need to keep your eyes open, or you could easily miss it. When you come across a wall of sea containers on the side of the road, you have arrived."

From there, you have to climb onto the containers that surround the aircraft to get a good glimpse of it. The plane is on private property, so a small fee is needed.

Theories among the locals claim that the plane, which has no obvious livery to tie it to a particular airline, may have been bought to the area with the intention of converting it into a restaurant.

As the story goes, it was bought in and assembled in the field which explains why nobody saw it arrive, but the owner ran out of money so left it to rust in the area.

Apart from this one theory, nobody actually knows the true origin of the aircraft, so your guess is as good as mine.

Weirdly this isn't the only abandoned Boeing 737 in the area, as just five miles north there sits another, right next to Dunkin' Donuts, because where else would you find a plane?

So if you happen to be missing a Boeing 737, please make your way to Bali because it may have been found.
