Title: D. B. Cooper
Post by: Martin X. Moleski, SJ on March 28, 2012, 02:57:45 PM
Here is a thread where people can ruminate about the D. B. Cooper case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper).

I doubt that it could ever become a TIGHAR investigation, because there is no "historic aircraft" to recover from the incident.

That said, it is a strange case that involves some of the same kinds of issues encountered in other TIGHAR projects: anecdotes, conflicting theories, navigation issues, a few elements that might be subject to forensic investigation, etc.

I caught an episode of Brad Meltzer's Decoded on the history channel a week or two ago. It was pretty convincing. Watch the Youtube video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7taFf09hofI) if interested.

Thanks for the link.  I'm watching it now.  I'm a real mystery junkie!   :-\

Hear hear, it's a fascinating story.  The man literally disappeared into thin air.  If you're one to believe Wikipedia, there are some baffling bits of evidence described there.
