Default This ‘Ghost Plane’ Crash Is One Of The Weirdest Mysteries Of 2017

U.S. and Canadian authorities are rightfully spooked following a plane crash in
Ontario, Canada on Sunday night. What’s got them shook? There’s absolutely no
trace than anybody actually went down with the plane, sparking one of the
weirdest mysteries of the year so far.

The alleged “ghost plane” was a rented Cessna 172 based out of Michigan, which
went down into the snow near the north shore of Lake Superior around 11:30 p.m.
on Wednesday night near Marathon, Ontario, according to AVweb.com.

The spooky part is that local police reported no sign of a pilot at the crash
site. There were no footprints or tracks of any kind in the snow and the crashed
plane was empty. Evidently it had crashed after running out of fuel while on
autopilot, which was still engaged in the wreckage.

According to wawa-news.com, the final flight plan was set to be from Ann Arbour
to Harbour Springs, Michigan, but the plane overshot and ended up in Canada. The
Ontario Provincial Police claims the crash is now part of a missing persons case
being investigated by the University of Michigan Police Department.

The distance of 407 nautical miles from Ann Arbour to the crash site is just
under the 440 nautical mile range of the aircraft. So what exactly is up? Did
nobody notice this little plane making a major detour over the lake on radar?
Did somebody actually jump out over Lake Superior in March?

All we know for sure is a damn plane crashed with nobody in it. You can’t
explain that.
