Project Skydrop: Andover Meteorologist Finds a Hidden Treasure in the Woods
You're invited to hear Meteorologist Dan Leonard recount his adventure solving Project Skydrop, a real-world treasure hunt for a $26,000 gold statue and an $87,000 Bitcoin wallet.
Initially unsure of his chances, Leonard realized his meteorology skills could give him an edge. By analyzing temperature data and correlating it with sunlight patterns, he pinpointed Franklin County as the search zone. To refine his target area, he tracked cloud cover and studied tree types, eventually narrowing the location to just a few pockets of forest. On October 1, 2024, he set out to search. As darkness fell, discovered the golden statue hidden beneath fallen leaves.
But that was not the end of the quest. Leonard had to navigate a series of dramatic twists, including a stolen treasure, accusations of deceit, and a resolution marked by forgiveness and reconciliation.
After the talk, Andover Trails will announce our own treasure hunt coming in April.
