  I am Capt. Appleby's daughter. In December, 2011, I received a stunning email from a stranger addressing the issue of  UAL 610 crash on Crystal Mountain, Colorado in June, 1951.  To better understand this email, you could read the brief compilation of my research of the disaster, uploaded in 2005 at  www.coloradowreckchasing.com . Click on Civilian flights, then Crystal Mountain, DC-6B, then look for “Capt. Appleby’s daughter…”  The mystery still hanging over the crash is, was Flight 610 hijacked by an intruder into the cockpit and deliberately flown into Crystal Mountain in the Colorado Rockies? This question is close to my heart since my father was the captain of UAL 610, which killed all aboard, including two military couriers, both carrying important documents pertaining to the war and to atomic secret files.

The Ghostly Garage

 As promised in a previous post, here is another snippet from the book I'm writing, a memoir of my life and my investigation into the crash of UAL 610 in 1951. My thesis, the plane was sabotaged.  June, 2012: The Armadillo Garage full of ghosts Around December 14, 2011, I received a surprising email from a woman in Fort Collins, Colorado. It read as follows: “Hi Janet, I know this may be a bit strange getting this crazy email from some random stranger. What I'm about to tell you might seem crazy too. Last night, I took a class in Fort Collins, Colorado for paranormal activity. I thought it would be fun entertainment but never expected to see and hear I did.
