I'm not a big UFO buff but when someone told me about this incident in passing yesterday I had to examine further. I am astounded that nobody has tried to find the wreckage of this jet. They found the wreckage of the Edmund Fitzgerald with a mini sub and that was in 730 feet of water. Why hasn't someone like National Geographic or the Discovery Channel sponsored an expedition to find and film this plane's wreckage and get answers?
Except they don't know where it crashed. Here they have a much smaller area to search. I'm fairly certain in 1953 that even the U.S. military lacked the advanced sonar that's available to the average person to use from a boat in 2022.
Small plane wrecks are not easy to find. When people were searching for Steve Fossett in the Sierra Nevada of California in 2007 they found a number of other wrecked aircraft that nobody even knew were up there. Planes disappear.
It seems plausible that one day someone will find it. Lake Superior should be far easier to search than say the Atlantic and presumably the freshwater will be kinder to the airframe than the salty sea.
History suggests technology and access improves though. Practically everyone takes for granted daily use of what was pretty specialized equipment not long ago.
