being lazy here but please remind me when christiansen died? re Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

Well, seeing as we are off topic (or maybe not for those who believe Salt Lake City is connected). I visited, quite some years ago now, the museum of natural history in SLC (I can't remember its exact official name), and it was very interesting because all the "miracles" that we had heard about in other places (like the seagulls) were presented wit h their natural explanations

Guru, have you provided the FBI with DNA? {insert emoticon for sweet innocent smile here} Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

HMPH! Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

I LOVE the "true story" one Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

A story only possibly very tangentially related to Cooper and even then at a stretch, but one that I think some of you will enjoy reading so I am posting it: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/02/nyregion/02dday.html?_r=1&fsrc=fbmain Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

lovely! i'm sure someone tech-savvy can download and slow it down? seem to be more aliens in there than mentioned here. have we missed something really important, i.e. the Roswell connection?! Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

Yup. About the only thing more common on this thread than Jo threatening to quit, is her threats of imminent revelations Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

huh??? If you look at that post properly you'll see I was replying to Blevins, not to you. Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

bag - maybe goggles? an alti? ... if he was a skydiver ... re raleigh - somewhere in the distant past on this forum there was some stuff someone dug up (snow? can't remember) on popular cigarette brands at the time. it certainly was! Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

easy. just make sure the oval is small and the triangle is large. baby O figured this out about a year ago 377, that's funny. Have you got some kind of notifier when Cooper items come up on ebay? Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

How refreshing - retraction when evidence proves one wrong, rather than coming up with conspiracy theories and wild fanciful stories to try make it fit anyway - makes a nice change around here. Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

Oh well, yes but that info came after my post

I agree with this. I also disagree with the assertion that it had to be the one where he is in a parachute. I'm sure 377 etc who have helped investigate criminal cases know many instances of aliases inspired by a hero or character with no 'obvious' link to the crime they committed. (in fact some of Duane Weber's aliases would probably be a perfect example here). Simply viewing the character as a 'hero' or 'daredevil' or whatever may have been enough to inspire using it as an alias. All conjecture yes but no more so than most other stuff here.

Oh, I very seriously doubt that, Jo. Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

Ever heard of confirmation bias? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

This man is a piece of work Sluggo and you know that. He made life for the co-pilot and his wife and family living hell. It only got worse after the co-pilot's email address got out to the public thru this thread. You guys have heard me talk about "and hence the one legged man was born" and my emailing bait. I would copy the email to Doug Pasternac and in a few days would come this story about things I used as bait. What was bad is that I didn't understand where he was coming from till the damage had been done...and it only hurt me. I had given him information and names hoping he was for real - YRS ago. I told him about Tony and Tommy and at first he never heard of them - then later I get these emails telling me all about Tommy and Tony (his characters did not resemble the real individuals). He knew how to play things, but I did protect myself - by using Doug because of his knowledge of what was real and what was bait in my communications. Ever once in a while I would get the feel he did know something and then his story would go off the wall again. I have reached only one conclusion about his claims...that perhaps he had met Duane Weber, but within the ranges of an activity he did not want to admit...he even claimed Duane was FBI and so was Tommy and produced sites to support this (but there was NO way that this Tommy .... and Duane Weber involved in a mass suicide had anything to do with the real Tommy....and Duane Weber). He claimed McCoy was Cooper and was still alive and McCoy was a wrestler in CA and it was all a set-up by the FBI and FAA. He went so far as to make claims about the co-pilot and other creditable people. His harassment of the co-pilot's family was the last straw when this guy managed to get one of the writers to come to see him. This writer spent a considerable amount of time interviewing this guy and tried to get an interview with the co-pilot. Because of this writers contact with this "guy" the co-pilot told me to tell the writer NEVER to call him again. This individual cost the writer an interview with a key witness. Using the back door was not smart and a hard lesson that was costly for this writer. I try to be kind to this man as many of you do me, but I cannot swallow his story, because I listened to it being fabricated over a 10 yr period of time. The way you guys view me except I am consistent, but do explore the possiblities when presented to me. This is it basically a summary of what I know - and I have not heard it all. I didn't know he was still out there telling his story after the problems he caused the co-pilot around June of this yr - 2010. Interesting Jo.. he is now saying he thinks Duane was Cooper, but also that Duane and McCoy knew each other and that he (Knoss) was present at the training sessions for the hijack and claims to have known all the people involved. Still going on about FBI/FAA complicity. And some stuff about a BYU (Brigham Young University) medallion left on the plane. I think there was something about the crew being involved too, but by that stage everyone except the Roswell alien was implicated and I had the feeling he'd be worked in somewhere too if I kept on reading those ramblings! (Oh but also like someone else any time someone asks a question that's too close the "legal/sue" aspect gets brought up as an excuse.) btw Jo you don't need to edit out his name - the posts I refer to were all made under his own name anyway. Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

Gossett's son believes he was Cooper. Wonder if he would offer to compare DNA? Now, I may have missed something (I have not had time to keep completely up to date on the thread): who is Bob Knoss? Edited to add: have now read some of Knoss's ramblings, so ... no real need to answer Anyone who wants proof that this is not the only page where people spout crazy stuff about the case, I can direct you to another link!

Robert, get yourself hold of a DVD called "Good stuff: by Joe Jennings

+1. I'm sure Woodward and Bernstein weren't working for the Washington Post out of charity. Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

yawn. what's this now, coming up to 4 years of imminent revelations? expect some half-baked cockeyed conspiracy theory with nothing to do with cooper around the corner... Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

And pigs might fly. Uh http://blog.flightstory.net/wp-content/uploads/skybus-big-pig-resized.jpg I was expecting someone to post a pic of a skydiver in a pig suit, or flying with an inflatable pig Another pig analogy worth bearing in mind: Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig enjoys it. And re Christiansen's DNA, Carr said they weren't going to test it because they dismissed him on physical description. When I queried that he noted that these things cost money and lab time and they have more important cases. I agree with 377 - I miss Carr. It would have been good to have him around at least until he got moved off the case. Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.
