I certainly hope Steve is okay however it is looking grim. 3 days without water in the Nevada desert is fatal. There doesn't seem to be any explanation why there was no ELT signal either from the airplane or his watch. There will however, probably be a prosaic explanation.

If there is not a prosaic exxplanation immediately available, here is my theory. This is a theory and a theory only. Please do not take offense or accuse me of being disrespectful to Steve or his family as it is not meant to be.

Steve took off from Barron's Ranch and headed southeast towards Mud Lake. He would not have headed East (Wassuk Range), he would not have headed north (he already new about Black Rock) and didn't have to fly over it and he would not have headed West because there are very few dry lakes in the Sierra Nevada.

Steve heads southeast around the Wassuk range and spots the Hawthorne Army Ammunition Depot just 8 miles away. He notices that there is no restricted area over it so he decides to take a look at the thousands of weird shapes on the ground just south of Walker Lake.

Unbeknownst to Steve the Army Depot is also the Site of the Naval Undersea Warfare Training Center. Also unbeknownst to Steve, John Lear has just posted an expose of NUWC (on ATS) and its secret submarine base below the desert floor. Way below.

NUWC is on high alert because of the expose outing them and their submarine base and they are po'd. Here comes a little airplane that they suspect is John Lear looking for submarines. They wait until Steve gets over the base and blast him with the new Navy plasma beam directed weapon which disintegrates the ELT (so no signal) disintegrates Steves watch (so so signal) and disintegrates Steve and his airplane. What is left falls onto the NUWC range. They all run over there and discover its not John Lear its Steve Fossett.

The head Admiral says, "Make this go away. Now."

Tom Bedlam, known government disinfo agent is called in and Tom posts (in a masteful attempt at diversion, which not only includes NUWC but John Lear Conspiracy Theorist):

OK, John, now that you guys have had your little fun, Mrs Fossett wants here husband back.

Tell the guys to dump him outside the main gate. I'm sure he's learned his lesson about overflying keep out areas.


So Bedlam here has effectively gotten NUWC off the hook by getting in the first shot, which included John Lear and making it all one ha ha ha as far as NUWC is concerned and feigning concern for Steve and Mrs. Fossett.

Meanwhile Navy Disinfo at the Pentagon goes into full swing sending socalsonly in to start a ruckus on the Is There A Navy Submarine Base Under The Nevada Desert? to divert any questions that might include how close NUWC is to the point of Steves disappearance. Socalsonly fakes Navy warmth and friendship (I know, oxymoron) and invites Lear for a drink as in 'all is forgotten'.

To be continued.

This is in no way meant as any disrespect for Steve as I know he would have wanted it this way.

John do they still let you fly? Why are you not trying to help find him?

Also, JustMike registers this morning just to make a post to this thread. So RV'ing is no big deal, but why does he seem more interested in the NUMA sub base and John than the search for Mr. Fossett? Mono Lake is out of the question, imo, no dlb's around there, and where is Luning?

Curiouser and curiouser.

Thank you for your comments.

RV'ing is no big deal. People who can do it are just ordinary people and if they declare otherwise and state they are somehow "special" they should be viewed with some concern.

I don't see anything odd (or curious) about registering to make a post on this site. I assume many people do the same thing. We all start with something and I found this site during a search for information on where Mr Fossett may be.

Luning is about 25 or 30 miles east of Hawthorn, Nevada at the junction of highway 95 and route 361 -- which I found out by looking at google maps to study the search area being covered by those searching for Mr Fossett. If you look at the map you'll find it easily enough. I stated that Mono Lake is not so likely so we partly agree there. However, to declare any location that was within range of his aircraft (and in fact near a straight flight path to his intended destination in Bishop) as "out of the question" is a point we'll have to agree to disagree on. Of course I respect your right to your own opinion.

Like most people, I am interested in many things. I have no particular interest in Mr Lear himself but what he says is certainly of interest, because he has put forward an idea to suggest why Mr Fossett may be missing. I think therefore it is not unreasonable to wish to learn more about it.

Thanks for the Luning location. Lots more likely area, though from looking at the map I would guess further south and east, if he made it that far. I don't claim to be able to RV, I just have lucid dreams once in a while.

I do think he is underwater, or under something, somewhere out there. Is that specific enough for you?

Forgive me if I didn't welcome you aboard with open arms.

peace.

Thank you for the comments... Regarding locations and not being in or from the US I had to rely on what I could find online that appeared to equate to what I "saw" and lay within the stated search area. Lucid dreams are of course equally valid and you could well be right: I'm perfectly fallible and am quite willing to accept alternatives to my own

Under something? Yes, that's specific enough -- for me anyway. No arguments there. Regarding the town of Bishop, it was mentioned as his destination in some on-line media reports I read. (eg CNN.com Thurs Sep 6, 7:31 am update... I gather I shouldn't post external links here but that info will find it for any who wish to read it.) Of course, as Mr Fossett filed no flight plan Bishop's importance is conjectural -- and the news media are not infallible in any case. And yes, Mono Lake is useless for his purposes -- which is why I considered it a less likely place. It is the name of it and how that links to Luning that made me give it some mention.

In respect of flight plans, a friend I often flew with always filed one, even if we were only going on a run to a relatively close destination. And when we finished our trip and he called Tower and said "Cancel S.A.R." there was always a feeling which I can't describe but which anyone who flies can probably relate to... And please, I say this with no criticism of Mr Fossett, who is a brilliant pilot...it's just an "I wish..." thought if you follow me.

Many thanks for the internal link you provided. I am still learning to navigate this site and you have helped me greatly. I'll read it when time allows.

Main thing is that Mr Fossett be found soon. My thoughts are with him and of course his wife and loved ones.

Icarus Rising, your final words moved me and I thank you. Truly. It takes a very big person to ask for forgiveness...even though you did nothing to really require it. I felt some skepticism in your previous post but no malice...It is so often a problem that when we have nothing but words on a screen, we may not be interpreted as we intend. It was my first post here (second try as the first attempt "vanished") and hence in my frustration was not so well written as I would have wished...

Peace also to you.

In response to another post about emergency situations at low altitude... Even assuming that Mr Fossett's aircraft's glide ratio is around 10 to 1 (or better??), then low-altitude flight over rugged terrain would be very problematic in the event of a sudden loss of engine power (or use of it as in a loose or damaged prop, for example). I have read, though, that in this region the air movement above the ravines and ridges is very unpredictable and sudden gusts can dramatically affect a small aircraft's ability to fly or at least remain controllable if it is flown too low. Time to recover the aircraft's stability would be minimal and even a superb pilot would have serious problems.

The same scenario (over rugged terrain) would apply if a pilot experienced a sudden and debilitating medical problem, or if the aircraft suffered a bird strike which either damaged vital surfaces, the engine, or perhaps disabled the pilot to some degree. Don't know what birds are in that area, but any person, no matter how apparently fit, can suffer a medical problem. Mr Fossett, being the excellent pilot he is, would certainly avail himself of regular checkups, reducing that medical risk to its lowest level.
