George Cogar

George R. Cogar (1932 – disappeared September 2, 1983) was an American computer scientist and engineer.

He disappeared in 1983 while on a private plane flying over Canada; no wreckage has ever been found.

Cogar was the head of the UNIVAC 1004 electronic design team code named the "bumblebee project", and later the "barn project", and co-founder of Mohawk Data Sciences Corporation, a Herkimer, New York-based multimillion-dollar business.

Cogar was last seen Friday, September 2, 1983, when a private plane, a Britten-Norman Islander, went down somewhere in British Columbia, Canada.
