The landing of the US helicopter at the Tyrolean Jamtalhütte at an altitude of 2165 meters in the Silvretta near Galtür is becoming increasingly mysterious. The pilot's place of residence is causing astonishment among investigators.

The authorities are getting down to business in connection with the helicopter flight to the Jamtalhütte. As reported, an unusual helicopter landed there a week ago. The pilot and a passenger with a trolley case - atypical for alpine terrain - spent the night in the refuge near Galtür. They flew on the next day.
