A Final Note

In the 27 years since the inception of Project Midnight Ghost, much information has come to light, many leads have been followed up, and very little conclusive evidence has been found. After ten years of fruitless searching in Maine, TIGHAR moved the focus of the Project to the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, where there is considerable documentary evidence to suggest that l’Oiseau Blanc met her end in one of the hundreds of lakes which dot the wilderness there. One artifact of metal has been found which we suspect of being part of the aircraft.

Newfoundland is a difficult place to work in: the climate is harsh, the distances long, the roads few, and the government restrictive. At the present time the project is on hold, awaiting sufficient funding and technology to do a conclusive search of the most highly suspect lakes for the engine of l’Oiseau Blanc.
