The complete disappearance of man, especially if he is known, always leaves more questions than answers. This is evidenced by the stories of writers and athletes, businessmen and politicians.

Jim Sullivan

In attempts to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Jim Sullivan in early March 1975, many fans of the musician agreed that he was abducted by aliens. The argument in virtue of this theory was the name of Sullivan's first album - UFO. On the day of his disappearance, the man was traveling from Los Angeles to Nashville, where his wife performed.

In New Mexico, Sullivan had to stop for the night after a policeman detained him on suspicion of drinking alcohol. Jim checked into a hotel in Santa Rosa, left things in his room and went to the store for vodka.

The next day, the musician’s car with documents, money and a guitar was found on a ranch 40 km from Santa Rosa. Sullivan himself was never seen again.

Bison deal

Bison Deal could ride a bicycle to another state with one credit card or board a plane and go to Tahiti to ride a yacht.
