A group of researchers, led by Philip, stumbled upon an abandoned plane hidden in the Alaskan wilderness. The discovery left them astounded, especially when they uncovered a mysterious box inside the plane that held more questions than answers.
Philip, initially on a mission to plant a satellite device on a mountain, found the plane and immediately recognized that it had likely been there for decades. The size of the aircraft and its inconspicuous location raised questions about how it went unnoticed for so long
Faced with the decision to enter the plane alone, Philip wisely signaled his colleagues with a flare gun, prompting them to arrive by helicopter. Once inside the plane, they were met with shock as they marveled at the well-preserved aircraft that seemed frozen in time.
Philip’s motivation for this project stemmed from receiving an anonymous letter at home, which ultimately led him on a mysterious journey. Guided by a series of cryptic notes, Philip uncovered an urban legend about a missing plane, Flight 66, that disappeared en route to Japan decades ago. The legend suggested that the plane vanished from radar without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that intrigued and baffled many.
Determined to solve the mystery, Philip embarked on a quest to uncover the route the missing plane might have taken. A new anonymous note directed him to the right side of town and led him to a man named Theo. Theo, in turn, provided Philip with coordinates that further guided his investigation.
Following the coordinates through a deserted town and a mountain path, Philip eventually reached the top where he found the buried plane. However, a deep layer of snow and treacherous conditions made the journey hazardous.
The researchers, now a trio with the addition of Lincoln and Greg, started the painstaking process of digging out the plane. Their efforts were rewarded when they discovered a mysterious box inside the tail of the aircraft. The contents, or rather the absence of contents, left them perplexed.
The Tragic Reason Why One Man Actually Turned Blue Forever
The world’s most famous blue man, Paul Karason, also dubbed Papa Smurf, was born as a fair-skinned, freckled boy with ginger hair. In the 2000s, he became an internet sensation and made many TV appearances, openly talking about his condition. Let’s find out together why Karason turned blue and how he became a cautionary tale.
Paul Karason had a skin condition that made his skin flake, as well as acid reflux and arthritis. Doing his own research in order to improve these ailments, he found out about a solution of silver in water, also known as colloidal silver.
Colloidal silver was widely used as an antibiotic back before penicillin was invented in the 1930s. It was banned in 1999 in over-the-counter medications after scientists found that it can severely damage internal organs.

Karason drank what he believed was a miracle cure for over 10 years. Moreover, he even began to apply a silver preparation directly to his skin; he claimed his acid reflux and arthritis just went away. “I had arthritis in my shoulders so bad I couldn’t pull a T-shirt off. And the next thing I knew, it was just gone,” he shared.
Due to the silver accumulation in his skin, he started to turn blue and suffered from a permanent and rare condition called argyria. Only when Karason met an old friend who asked him, “What have you done to yourself?” did he begin to realize he’d become blue.
Karason claimed his blue skin had many advantages — he never got sunburns or had to wear sunglasses. There were some side effects he did not appreciate, however, such as folks “being less than polite” to him. Moreover, Karason confessed he couldn’t get a job because of employers’ resistance to hiring “people that are blue or that are noticeably different.”
Sadly, Paul Karason passed away in 2013 when he was 62 years old due to heart complications.
Papa Smurf’s story serves as a valuable lesson about the importance of being careful when it comes to at-home remedies. While it’s natural to want to find easy solutions to health problems, it’s important to be aware that such remedies can sometimes pose serious risks. It’s always better to consult a doctor and follow their advice for a safe and effective treatment.
