Deathray wrote So typical. You ask a self proclaimed "gifted psychic" to do a controlled experiment and they get all huffy. Yawn. Nobody called you a liar or crazy. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Quit dodging Deathray. Prove you have psychic powers in a controlled experiment and collect the million. It's simple. Don't dodge the challenge by taking shots at James Randi. If you have paranormal abilities then prove it. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Deathray wrote No way. If Ted had any FBI contact while Cooper was in the plane making his chute demands then Ted couldnt be Cooper. Why then did he call FBI agent Ralph Himmelsbach when the hijack news broke offering an alibi to prove he couldn't be Cooper? Are you pursuing the James Randi prize? If not why not? 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Deathray wrote Seriously Deathray, if you don't believe in magical thinking how can you believe that you are a psychic? If you are a psychic why do you need the FBIs help to ID Cooper? Are you aware that you can win a million dollars if you can prove that you are a psychic? So far not one person has succeeded. Could it be that a rigorous scientifically controlled experiment has something to do with that outcome? http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge.html Prove your claim, collect the million and come back here and tell us some more about your encounter at Sheridan. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

Deathray wrote Ted didnt supply the Cooper chutes. If you are talking about Ted Mayfield, his first contact with the FBI during the skyjack drama was a call with an alibi. He wasn't working with them while Cooper was in the 727 making demands. Your response? 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Robert, Please read this. http://www.csicop.org/si/show/roswell_incident_and_project_mogul I do not think an alien spacecraft crashed at Roswell. Do you? 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

I trawl (not troll) for Cooper related data all the time. I'm no Snowmman but I do my best. Here is an interesting tidbit from an email I received about a 727 FAA AD (Airworthiness Directive). I think it's incorrect, but can someone check it out? (I'm not an airplane mech.) 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Coud it be possible that Marla simply misunderstood what Curtis Ng told her? Or perhaps what Ng said was ambiguous. What if Ng meant that the FBI would be dropping the LD Cooper case not the DB Cooper case? After all there was no DNA match. Maybe his nod to Marla's LDC=DBC theory was just like saying "personally, I hope your horse wins the Cooper Derby." He shouldnt be giving any personal opinions, just the official FBI line, but what if he did? Ng's story to the press and to Jerry hasnt substantially changed. We base all our emotions about a big change in the FBIs position on what Marla said Ng said. Just a thought. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

Dont confuse us with facts Farflung. I've warned you before. Please, let us envision things in a more "Hollywood" manner: Torquenada or the Marquis de Sade administering a 5 hour B&D polygraph to Marla Perfectly engineered night rendezvous using CBs Dan Cooper comics pinned to LDs bedroom wall Dewey running the Boeing stair down flight tests Get the picture? So which three letter agency did you work for? Oh, and one more thing, I dont recall any polygraphed defendants or witnesses ever being told "you passed." There was always a writen report, issued weeks later, never a real time on site grade for the subject. Did your poygraph examiner tell you anything about your performance? Since all the polygraph questions I saw were prepared in advance and in writing, a five hour test poses some serious logistical problems. https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1298322212 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

By some lucky guy Jerry? Actually she was a delightful symposium presenter. No PR person, no handlers, just Marla and her intriguing story. She was smart, articulate and friendly. It isnt her fault that she is attractive. Marla didnt dodge questions. Bringing Dale, who cared for LD in his last years, didnt enhance her story yet she brought him anyway. He had no clue that LD might have been DBC and could only note, in response to a question, that LD was a "mischievious" person, hardly incriminating Norjack evidence. It's the rendevous between LD and Dewey that I find hard to believe. It would require a bunch of simultaneous near miracles. Also, If LD lost all the money on the jump, wouldnt there have been other finds besides Brian's on Tena Bar? Awaiting Bruce's now overdue article on Marla and LD. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

JT wrote Good point, they had similar antennas, but cordless phones didnt come in to the mainstream US market until a few years later, very late 70s and early 80s. Having spoken with Marla after her presentation I am certain that she was describing 71 era CB walkie takies. She had everything right: price, range on the ground, antenna type, appearance of front, etc. Not one mistake and I asked no leading questions. Still it shows only that the family had a pair of CB walkie talkies. It doesnt put anybody on the NWA 727. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

Jerry writes Good thing the FBI doesnt issue traffic tickets Jerry. You'd have to stop driving in Curtis's beat. Visualize Curtis as a hurricane victim. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Marla (without prompting BTW) described the antenna with great particularity. Chrome, telescoping segments, with a larger piece on the top. I spoke with her after her presentation and I have no doubt that she has seen and probably handled a 71 vintage CB walkie talkie. That doesn't put LD on the plane though. The antenna can fully collapse so that it does not extend beyond the outside dimernsions of the walkie talkie. I suppose you could put it in the bomb briefcase. depending on the dimensions.

Nice license plate, almost probable cause for a stop. "Let's light that boy up and show him a thing or two. You know he's carryin at least an ounce." Nice shop too. Got plasma cutter yet? 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

So LD lands. He is injured, so badly (according to Marla) that he cant walk unassisted. Somehow he manages to contact Dewey on his big CB walkie talkie (which somehow he managed to conceal from all witnesses AND secure to his harness for the jump). LDC: Dewey, can you hear me? DC: Yeah, where are you? Are you OK? LDC: I'm hurt Dewey, I cant walk DC: Tell me where you are. LDC: In a place with a lot of trees and rocks DC: Can you see any landmarks? LDC I cant walk, I can barely crawl. Cant see much In Viet Nam the SOG guys rendevouzed after night parachute landings using radios but the radios were special. They had some sort of direction finding capability. The Army PRC 6 walkie talkies used widely in Viet Nam had special direction finding loop antenna accessories. These loops were collapsible for easy packing and plugged into a connector on the radio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/PRC-6 Scroll down to photo of PRC 6 and 2 DF loop antennas: http://w1tp.com/imperad.htm CB walkie takies of the 71 era did not have direction finding capability. Communicating and locating are distinct issues. Communication alone does not assure finding the other party's location.

Blevins wrote Robert, how do you direct the 727 to that prearranged rendezvous area? Cooper wasn't dictating any particular flight path. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

It's just fun kicking it around because the LD Cooper + brother story is so incredible: radios, Dan Cooper comics, Boeing employee, etc. It's as if Marla cherry picked this forum. Until the FBI makes an announcement all we have is Marla-Grams and rumor. The chances of Cooper actually making a rendezvous with a ground accomplice is so incredibly low. It would have been a near miracle. We must separate the message from the messenger. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Blevins wrote Robert, you've obviously not met Marla Cooper. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

Still could be a false rumor, we will see. But imagine if LD was DB and he was a huge Dan Cooper comics fan? OMG. The Minos Affair issue will become a very valuable collectors item. I wonder if Snow has one? How about Carol? The church lady next door told my Mom that comics were a bad influence. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.
