Steve Fossett Conspiracy Theories

[jollygreen]

OK so what have you heard? I've heard the possibility that he might have strayed into restricted airspace over the Nellis ranges or Groom lake and was either intercepted and forced to land or even shot down! What will they think of next...

Anyone heard any more?

No, they dont seem able to shoot him down anywhere (Osama Bin Laden, that is)

[Gromit]

He is playing in the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

No. The guy didn't file a flight plan. Ergo, he is probably dead. Sad but true. More than like down to mechanical trouble or adverse weather conditions. As the search for him continued, you will have seen that a good number of other aircraft that had also crashed in the area had been spotted. Some of these being decades old. No conspiracy, just a wilderness.

Bit odd some one who is into the whole adventuring thing didn't file a flight plan. May be he wasa bit short of cash and has a large insurance pay out on the cards.
Some one call CSI.

Bit odd he went missing in an area within 500 miles of sensitive bombing ranges (Nellis), in a country where satellites constantly scan the skies for intrusion. Not beyond the wit of man to interrogate such systems to find his flightpath - if there was an inclination to do so.

It would appear that the amazon mechanical turk search has covered the whole area a few times over and although they've found a few other wrecks (some decades old), they haven't found fossett. I'm not entirely sure how large the search area for mechanical turk was though... About 60k images I think of 7,225m2 each so approx 433 million sqm.
