A missing man who mysteriously turned up in California - nearly 3,000 miles from the ski resort where he was - and still wearing his ski clothes including goggles and mask, sparking crazy claims he may have been abducted by aliens. Constantinos “Danny” Filippidis, 49, from Toronto, was at the Whiteface Mountain, near New York, when he was reported missing last Wednesday by friends who could not find him.
The married dad-of-two was with a group of fellow firefighters when they lost him as the mountain range was about to close.
There was no trace of him, but his belongings – including his identification documents – were discovered in his lodge, and his car was still in the parking lot.
It led to a huge search operation with hundreds of volunteers, rescue dogs and helicopters scouring the icy terrain, as friends and family feared the worst, Dailystar.co.uk reports.
However, six days later he turned up dazed and confused around 2,824 miles away in California - unable to say how he got there and still wearing his skiing clothes complete with helmet and goggles.
