MYSTERIES Of The Pacific Northwest
from the strangest arcade game ever to
an actual serious UFO case these are
five mysteries of the Pacific Northwest
number five
Dennis Walker's collection we kick
things off with the story of Dennis
Walker a quote-unquote businessmen that
set up shop in Medford Oregon
Walker's business plan was simple use
other people's money to buy sports
memorabilia and then possibly sell it
for profit after he amassed the sizable
collection Walker opened up a museum in
town from baseball cards to uniforms and
signed balls he had a tall it was around
this time that the local police force
started getting suspicious about
Walker's activities after a very quick
investigation he was charged with fraud
and racketeering however much to the
surprise of the police all his investors
backed him up stating that they trusted
him 100% with the millions of dollars
they gave him before things escalated
Walker packed up shop and vanished I bet
his investors changed their opinion
rather quickly after that in 1987
some 16 months after his disappearance
Walker was found in Las Vegas
unfortunately his collection was missing
even more unfortunate he was dead
throughout the last 30 years over
120,000 dollars of his prized sports
memorabilia collection has been located
but no one knows how he died
investigators have speculated it was a
mob hit or perhaps a disgruntled
investor what do you think happened I'm
pretty sure that juice was still filming
Hertz commercials in 1987 so it probably
wasn't him number four
Mel's hole have you ever listened to the
radio show coast to coast am it's great
for those lonely drives at 2:00 a.m. on
February 21st 1997 the greatest host to
ever live or at Bell took a random
caller from Washington State
his name was Mel waters and he had quite
the story to tell the caller claimed he
lived in a very rural part of Kittitas
County Washington a County that is
remarkably unremarkable except for the
bottomless pit that had magical healing
powers
waters went into great detail describing
the pit at one point he measured it to
be over 80,000 feet deep let's let's
pause for a second this random hole that
no one had heard of before was
apparently twice as deep as the Mariana
Trench the deepest part of the ocean
seems very likely right waters actually
became quite a regular calling into the
show in 2000 and 2002 always talking
about the damn hole by 2002 another man
claimed to know where the hole is he
also claimed that the government was
protecting the area because of you
guessed it alien activity he also led an
expedition of 30 people to see the hole
however it seems like he forgot the
exact locations since the expedition
failed miserably some government shills
claimed that the hole is geologically
impossible and any hole that size would
collapse in on itself from the pressure
but what a day no stupid geologists
number 3 DB Cooper you really can't
avoid talking about DB Cooper when
discussing the Pacific Northwest and
mysteries on Thanksgiving Eve 1971 Dan
Cooper boarded a busy flight headed from
Portland to Seattle he ordered a bourbon
lit up a cigarette and shortly after
takeoff solidified his place in American
history while the plane was still
gaining altitude Dan Cooper passed a
note to the nearest flight attendant she
assumed it was just a phone number so
she tossed it in her bag she leaned over
and whispered
miss you'd better look at that note I
have a bomb
long story short Cooper turned out to be
the nicest hijacker ever the plane
landed in Seattle and the feds gave him
two hundred thousand dollars in for
parachutes the plane was refueled and
headed towards Mexico City with only
four people on board the crew was locked
in the pilot cabin while Cooper enjoyed
the Boeing 727 all to himself when the
plane landed in Reno Nevada for
refueling Cooper was nowhere to be found
after a thorough search authorities
found no trace of him the bomb or the
money it is believed Dan Cooper jumped
off somewhere over the Lewis River in
southwestern Washington apart from the
aircraft the only physical evidence in
the case is a stack of $20 bills that
were found by a little kid and
instructions on how to open the aft
stairs of a 727 in 2016
the FBI officially suspended its active
investigation of the DB Cooper hijacking
to this day none of the 9,000 or so
remaining bills have surfaced anywhere
in the world
fun fact we refer to him as DB Cooper
because a reporter screwed up his
initial report he assumed that DB cooper
who was the initial suspect was the full
name that Dan Cooper gave the airline
and that right there folks is fake news
number two
the UFO we don't have to go back to the
70s for this mystery on October 25th
2017 FAA and NORAD employees were on
high alert
due to a unidentified flying object
gliding through the Oregon skies as far
as we know the UFO was first spotted on
radar near the California Oregon border
okay 31 and frack number one sighs
clearly most levels for threes are
online you know targets off the body
though that 0 0 to 7 code moving very
fast at 37,000 uh-huh look at that thing
yeah that's crazy
I've got nothing well
well look what 1698 the object
disappeared from radar systems as
quickly as it had appeared however in
the next few hours some pilots flying
commercial aircraft over the area called
it in initially the story was reported
by the drive comm and after a while a
FOIA request for the FAA transmissions
from that day was approved the incident
could be mapped out as the calls come in
and what you heard in the beginning of
this segment was just a small snippet
the UFO was described as a very fast big
white aircraft flying at 37,000 feet it
appears that the military was notified
very early on and the Air Force
scrambled two f-15s to try and get a
closer look at the UFO pilot
eyewitnesses couldn't confirm the make
or model of the aircraft and the f-15s
never spotted it either as far as the
public knows anyway what do you think
maybe it was a top-secret new-generation
airplane testing its limits sounds
plausible number one Polybius as far as
conspiracy theories and urban legends go
the story of the arcade game polybius
doesn't seem far-fetched at all let's
travel back to the year 1981 Jessie's
girl was topping the music charts
Raiders of the Lost Ark was mesmerizing
moviegoers and every 13 year old kid was
spending way too much time at their
local arcade to be honest it doesn't
sound so bad does it
some arcades in the Portland area
received an unheard of new game called
polybius it immediately became a hit
with local kids more so than any other
game at the time they were going crazy
over it waiting in our long lines just
to get a chance to play it before you
know it people that played the game
reported mysterious side effects
including hallucinations paranoia night
terrors amnesia and insomnia the game
wasn't even out for a month before the
machines were taken away by men and
black interestingly enough the legend of
polybius wasn't born in the 1980s no no
no it was born in the year 2000 when the
title was added to coin-op org an arcade
game resource website since
no material evidence of the original
game has surfaced but it has inspired
some indie game producers to make their
own version of the game that supposedly
turns you into a lunatic if anyone has
ever heard of this game prior to 2000 it
would be interesting to find out comment
below and tell me what you think about
the story of Polybius I don't have a
great segue into the next video but you
should check it out anyway and if you
