A group of researchers, led by Philip, stumbled upon an abandoned plane hidden in the Alaskan wilderness. The discovery left them astounded, especially when they uncovered a mysterious box inside the plane that held more questions than answers.
Philip, initially on a mission to plant a satellite device on a mountain, found the plane and immediately recognized that it had likely been there for decades. The size of the aircraft and its inconspicuous location raised questions about how it went unnoticed for so long
Faced with the decision to enter the plane alone, Philip wisely signaled his colleagues with a flare gun, prompting them to arrive by helicopter. Once inside the plane, they were met with shock as they marveled at the well-preserved aircraft that seemed frozen in time.
Philip’s motivation for this project stemmed from receiving an anonymous letter at home, which ultimately led him on a mysterious journey. Guided by a series of cryptic notes, Philip uncovered an urban legend about a missing plane, Flight 66, that disappeared en route to Japan decades ago. The legend suggested that the plane vanished from radar without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that intrigued and baffled many.
Determined to solve the mystery, Philip embarked on a quest to uncover the route the missing plane might have taken. A new anonymous note directed him to the right side of town and led him to a man named Theo. Theo, in turn, provided Philip with coordinates that further guided his investigation.
Following the coordinates through a deserted town and a mountain path, Philip eventually reached the top where he found the buried plane. However, a deep layer of snow and treacherous conditions made the journey hazardous.
The researchers, now a trio with the addition of Lincoln and Greg, started the painstaking process of digging out the plane. Their efforts were rewarded when they discovered a mysterious box inside the tail of the aircraft. The contents, or rather the absence of contents, left them perplexed.
