Quote:A SKILLED mechanic who built a replica UFO in his backyard was never seen again after disappearing following claims he was in constant contact with aliens.

Granger Taylor vanished from his parents in 1980.

Granger was a talented mechanic, who dropped out of high school early but was able to build a one-cylinder automobile at just 14.

His most memorable project was constructing a UFO-like shelter from two satellite dishes that he fitted with furniture, a TV and a stove.

But his fascination with the possibility of alien visitations became more serious when he alleged to experience constant contact from alien beings who promised to take him to their world.

He left a bizarre note for his parents Jim and Grace Taylor, and was never seen again.

The note was left in a barn on the property where he was working on a number of projects.

It read: "Dear Mother and Father, I have gone away to walk aboard an alien ship, as recurring dreams assured a 42 month interstellar voyage to explore the vast universe, then return.

"I am leaving behind all my possessions to you as I will no longer require the use of any.

A huge search was launched by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for around four years, but no trace of him or the car were ever found.

Quote:But, the March 31 edition of the Montreal Gazette in 1986, five-and-a-half-years after the disappearance, said two pieces of bone that could have been Granger Taylor's, and parts of what was believed to be his truck, had been found in a dynamite blast site on Mount Prevost.

The report said Granger had taken dynamite from his parents' home on the night and the blast site was just four miles from the property.

The report said: "Two pieces of bone were found at the blast site and a pathologist confirmed they are human.

"Until further evidence is found, the RCMP is assuming they are Taylor's."

It is not known if it was later confirmed they were his bones.

Fun fact:
There are as many as 100,000 active missing persons cases in the U.S. at any given time.
Of the 692,944 people reported missing in 2010, 531,928 were under the age of 18.
Where did they go?
