Aircraft accidents happen from time to time. That’s just the risks that come with traveling by plane. Most accidents have a clear cause, such as stormy weather conditions or mechanical failure. But some others are shrouded with uncertainty.
TikToker Alison (@alisonnfit) is talking about how her father mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth when she was a young girl.
Her dad, Troy Johnson, was a pilot, and on August 26, 2015, he was flying an experimental plane when he crashed into the Pacific Ocean and was never found.
Her family lived in a mini airport, and her dad had top security clearance with the government. They owned four or five planes through the company her dad worked for, and she frequently flew on airplanes throughout her entire childhood.
Recently, Alison got her hands on some footage of her dad’s plane crash. She described the route her dad had flown before his aircraft dove into the ocean.
He went from Point Reyes, California, to Phoenix, Arizona. Then, he made a pit stop in Palmdale, California, to refuel his plane, which she found odd because he never stopped in Palmdale.
“He always has enough gas topped off to get him from point A to point B as long as he’s not flying across the country, so that is so out of his character to do that,” said Alison.
From Palmdale, he traveled 460 miles off the coast and crashed. Alison and her family were told that he had lost consciousness.
Another important piece of information that Alison mentions is that he had been connected to the tower but stopped responding. Two fighter jets found him in the air, pulling up on either side of his plane.

The Coast Guard claimed that the two jets had watched him crash into the Pacific and that they had recorded video footage of him slumped over the plane’s controls. However, Alison says that there is no footage of his body to be found.
She continued reading the report out loud: “The plane’s autopilot continued on its course until the fuel supply was exhausted and descended into the ocean.”
“And then they said they suspended the search with no plans to resume after twenty hours, and they said they sent out boats, which we never got record if that actually happened.”
Then, she filmed the video of her dad’s plane crash for viewers to see. The video was black and white and heavily pixelated. There was also no footage of the plane actually going into the ocean.
The majority of the video was of the ocean itself, and after skipping through it, Alison pointed out the plane’s tail sticking out of the water.
Also, the day before the crash, her dad sent her a text message saying, “If all things go well tomorrow, I’ll see you.” Alison noted that this wasn’t something her dad normally said, and it was just another sign that something hadn’t been quite right.
What do you think happened to Alison’s dad? Would you be surprised if he showed up alive and well one day?
