Only by people who are insecure themselves.

Last program on the Discovery Channel I saw showed that the planes were found way up north in a glacier ice cap, no where near where they had originally been. Also they didn't have enough fuel to reach it and why would somebody pull off such a elaberate hoax? Also they were strangely perserved. Almost like as if they had leeped ahead in time and crashed on a ice cap.

The Navy has made claims of doing top secret experiments during Worl War II, that went horribly wrong. Thus the men who claimed their ship phased in and out and went invisible. This is more of a fantasical explanation, yet more based in science but more mundane then the mini-black hole/ worm hole theorists .

Can't find anything about this on Google.

Actually you would be suprised what they show these days on Discovery Channel and the History Channel. They even have episodes on UFOs.

Whatever it was, it was fictional. Here's the Wikipedia Article on Flight 19.

Regarding wreckage which has been found:

In 1986, the wreckage of an Avenger was found off the Florida coast during the search for the wreckage of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Aviation archaeologist Jon Myhre raised this wreck from the ocean floor in 1990. He was convinced it was one of the missing planes, but positive identification could not be made. In 1991, the wreckage of five Avengers was discovered off the coast of Florida, but engine serial numbers revealed they were not Flight 19. They had crashed on five different days "all within a mile and a half [~2.4 km] of each other." Records showed training accidents between 1942 and 1946 accounted for the loss of 94 aviation personnel from NAS Fort Lauderdale (including Flight 19.) In 1992, another expedition located scattered debris on the ocean floor, but nothing could be identified. In the last decade, searchers have been expanding their area to include farther east, into the Atlantic Ocean. It has been determined through Navy records that the various discovered aircraft, including the group of five, were declared either unfit for maintenance/repair or obsolete, and simply disposed of at sea.

Heh, interestingly I wasn't too fond of Pegg as Scotty. I thought Urban did an amazing job as McCoy though.

Didn't Urban rock as McCoy? I am a theater actor and I love also to do impersonations, but his was just so bloody 'spot on' it's absolutely rediculous.

Probably because Pegg looked nothing like Scotty and sounded like a real scotsman - not Doohan's lovably fake accent.
