Michael Harlan — DC, December 1 to 7 2024
What This Image Shows
The twelve-month Google Trends series for "Michael Harlan" in the Washington DC (Hagerstown) bucket, captured with the tooltip on the earlier of the two spikes: December 1-7, 2024, value 100. The axis runs October 20, 2024 to September 21, 2025.
The name comes from the disputed crew list for N1098L, the Bombardier Global 6500 that dropped to roughly 203 feet near the Utah Valley University campus on the morning of September 10, 2025 and repeated the maneuver about twenty-three minutes after the shooting. Crew names for private ISR flights are not published by the FAA, the operator, or any flight-tracking service, so the lists circulating on X are unverified and mutually contradictory.
Dating the first spike is what this capture contributes, and the date lands in a week that recurs across this whole investigation's search thread. The first week of December 2024 is also where researchers place the claimed surge for defense attorney Kathryn Nester, and the sibling capture for "Jax Donovan" in the Israel bucket peaks in that same week. Three unrelated names cresting in one week nine months before the event is either a meaningful cluster or an artifact of how a small number of researchers selected and cropped their windows.
Nothing here resolves that question. Trends identifies no searcher, no volume, and no purpose, and no person is accused of anything. Related: N1098L, Jax Donovan December 2024, Kathryn Nester searches, and DC metro search patterns.
