The 1950s to the 1970s is often regarded as the golden age of air travel. Imagine a luxurious lounge filled with all sorts of displays of finery and wealth. Ladies adorned with silk gloves and strings of pearls, accompanied by gentlemen wearing expensive suits and carrying important leather briefcases. They’d be sipping champagne and discussing their excitement for the latest form of travel: the aeroplane. It was an event worth dressing up for, a veritable party in the sky. It’s no wonder such a marvel attracted those seeking their fortune, specifically those willing to do anything to get it. So enters Dan Cooper, a man who has been remembered in infamy for his attempted (and potentially successful) skyjacking. His case still has people talking over 50 years later, and is regarded as one of the most intriguing mysteries that has never been solved. Let’s talk about DB Cooper.

Aliens and Disclosure
Recently, the universe has been estimated to be 26.7 billion years old. The observable universe is 90 billion light years across. Scientists estimate 10,000 stars for every grain of sand on earth. Basically, the universe is really, really big. Like incomprehensibly big. And it only stands to reason that somewhere, something is living here with us. Whatever you want to call them - aliens, extraterrestrials, non-humans - they’re out there. Or maybe not. Maybe they’re already here.

Lizzie Borden
Lizzie Borden took an ax
and gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
she gave her father forty-one.
Now, this nursery rhyme is not entirely accurate. For example, it was not 40 whacks, or 41, but rather 18 and 11 respectively. And while many today believe that Lizzie was guilty, she was actually proven innocent in a court of law. Was the law flawed, biased, and prone to underestimating women? Yes, of course. It was the 1800s, after all. But while there is a lot of evidence pointing to Lizzie, there is almost as much pointing to other suspects. Like the estranged uncle who just so happened to be visiting at the same time as the murders. Or the mysterious maid, so poorly treated and with nothing left to lose. Or perhaps the shadowy figure that was seen lurking around the house? Maybe it wasn’t Lizzie at all, and she was left all alone, ostracized from society, living out the rest of her days with only her inheritance to keep her company. Or maybe she did kill her parents, what do I know? Let’s talk about Lizzie Borden.
