The Case of Flight 134

      My colleagues and I were called in by a former associate of mine, Charles Jurgenson, to consult on the possible paranormal ramifications of an airplane flight that completely disappeared from radar for 64 seconds on its way into Logan International Airport. In fact, the plane literally disappeared before the eyes of most of the control tower staff, and reappeared, seeming to emerge from a rift in the sky.
      We arrived at the airport to find all of the passengers cordoned off by security, ready to be interviewed about their experiences. One passenger had burned to death in the plane's lavatory, though there was no other sign of fire onboard, nor any other fatalities. Two passengers whom had never met before they got on the plane were acting as if they were now deeply in love. Another man claimed he had met Satan. Still another woman reported she heard thousands of voices singing.
      The most amazing individual experiences of the passengers happened to Mrs. Karen Longview, Miss Deanna Thompson, and Mr. "Phil," an onboard flight attendant.
      Karen Longview had suffered a profound brain injury on a skiing trip 21 years ago, which left her unable to move, walk, or speak. When she got off the plane, she was able to do all of these things again. The woman miraculously got out of her wheelchair and walked without effort. She then sat for an extensive interview with Mr. Callan, speaking as clearly as anyone without a severe brain injury. The woman who burned to death in the aft rear cabin lavatory was Karen's nurse, Ms. Joyce Fried, who was completely responsible for her well being while Mrs. Longview was away from her husband.
      Deanna Thompson is a child of only 11, yet she claimed in her interview with Ms. Santos to have seen her future, the entire remainder of her life. She described in detail whom she would marry, how many children she would have (and knew their names), and even knew when her own father would die, and how. All of this news seemed to disappoint her terribly, as Deanna had dreamed of being a paleontologist, and then a botanist. Nothing of her future seemed to make her happy. The child even took on the mannerisms of an adult while being interviewed.
      When I first witnessed "Phil," the flight attendant, he was sitting in a dimly lit room, wearing a straight jacket, and speaking at an alarming rate of speed. The man was speaking in Aramaic, one of the oldest languages on Earth, a language that has been dead for over 2,000 years. I was able to translate most of what he said, which included theoretical projections of modern physics, and basic concepts that related to ancient alchemy, as well as the destruction of the world.
      Examining these individual cases brought my team to the conclusion that the aircraft had passed into some sort of otherworldly dimensional realm where consciousness determines reality. Whatever each person was thinking of as they passed into this realm became reality for them. Karen Longview's nurse, Joyce Fried, thought of the plane crashing, and of herself burning to death, and it happened to her - and only to her. Karen Longview dreamed of being able to walk and talk again, and she could. Deanna Thompson was thinking about her future, and she saw it. For his part, "Phil" just wanted to be important; thus, he delivered a lecture on several intellectual subjects in a dead language.
      The most interesting (and perhaps tragic for some) fact about this phenomena is that it was not a permanent manifestation. Deanna Thompson forgot her future. Karen Longview once again became a kinetic mute. Nurse Fried's body restored itself to its original condition, but an autopsy had already been performed on her. The two lovers no longer remembered that they had ever been smitten with each other. Finally, "Phil" could no longer recall the things he seemed to have learned about physics, alchemy, the destruction of the known world, or even Aramaic. Wherever the passengers of Flight 134 were for those 64 seconds, the effects had worn off after only a few hours. In conclusion, the NSA remains stymied.
      This case remains unsolved.
