OT: Talking Unsolved Legends / Events S2 P1

I think Amelia didn't have radio contact with Howland Island (for a littany of reasons in 1937), and just couldn't find land before running out of fuel.  Shit is deposited in the big ocean, and it disperses pretty quickly.  Hopefully, somebody will find a piece of evidence, someday, that will point directly to her equipment.

Someone claims to have seen her executed, but that's unlikely.  If she had landed, some evidence of her plane on whatever island it was would have been found.  But I guess she could have parachuted in, or washed up on shore in a life raft, before execution.  I kinda doubt that, though...

Happy to hear about your recovery. I joke a lot, probably too much, but in all seriousness redemption is one of the things that makes life worth living. No one has a perfect past. In fact it's often the people with the worst pasts who are called to change lives. Look no further than Paul the Apostle. Don't let anyone ever tell you that your past renders you hopeless.

Thanks for bringing this back. I'd suggest-What happened to the princes in the Tower? Yes it's likely that they were quietly killed, but some of the alternative explanations are just fun

Earhart - it's a big ocean with a small islands.  My bet is they ran out of fuel and had to ditch. I honestly doubt we'll ever find definitive proof one way or another.

I love these posts during the down time, thanks for bringing it back Eli and great to hear the positive life changing story. 
 

I tend to go with the easiest outcome that she ran out of fuel or crashed into the ocean and will never be found. 
 

There are a few mysteries that interest me, the DB Cooper story is a big one. Another more recent is the disappearance of the Malaysian Airlines 370. Others include unexplainable phenomena like the Tunguska event, the Pollock sisters and the incident at Dyatlov Pass. 

I'm pretty sure it's been discussed on mgoblog before but not in this series (at least that I can remember) but there was a fairly famous UFO case in Ann Arbor in the 1960s (then-Rep. Gerald Ford even got involved in the investigation). Let's do that one!

Also - is Ann Arbor/U of M like the least haunted place in the U.S.? I can't think of any ghost stories from U of M, which is a bit peculiar for such an old place. The only thing that comes to mind is that one of the dorms on the hill (Couzens?) was supposedly a psychiatric hospital at one point and was supposed to be haunted. I also did get creeped out in the stacks in the Ugli a few times. But come on, Michigan, be scarier.

For UFO incidents, I'd do them separately.  There's a lot of information for many of the individual incidents.

The Rendlesham Forest incident is one.

Can we get into the Natalee Holloway case for one of these? Where is her body?
