Funding Expeditions
His father, Roger had actually assisted in financing expeditions that he was not even a part of. He would cash in even though he would not go on these expeditions himself. This man was in fact, involved in a series of the most valuable discoveries of the past four decades. He had a passion for treasure hunting so he could never resist when something potentially extraordinary came up.
Roger Miklos
Roger Miklos had his first encounter with astronaut Gordon Cooper while on his career and the two of them shared a connection over their mutual enthusiasm for treasure hunting. They hit it off quite well and easily so it was blatant that they were about to have a very special adventure. Unfortunately, Roger died in the year 2018 but luckily gave crucial information to the beloved son…
First Encounter
So how did he get the chance to be informed about such an important piece of information? Well, the very first time that Miklos and Cooper met happened when his dad was a guest on the Merv Griffin Show, and Cooper was also a guest on that particular episode. They did not expect to build a bond so strong and so immediate. But the two clicked well with each other.
Meeting Gordon Cooper
“I met him in the back room, and I was awestruck by his presence because he was an astronaut and actually went into space,” Miklos later disclosed, when questioned about how he felt in the presence of such an amazing astronaut. He had always been fascinated with space and the constellations so obviously, this was a memorable encounter that he would not forget.

So a few years passed by then they shared an office together. They soon built a father-son-like relationship. “I think that’s why he entrusted me with the chart, or treasure map from space, as well as all the files that went along with it,” Miklos revealed. The two of them became quite close and they would soon share information that they did not necessarily share with everybody else.
Cooper’s Treasure
So for a long while, Cooper had been putting his map together. He had put in hours upon hours to make sure that his project did not just go to waste. The journey to learning about Cooper’s sunken shipwreck map in the hopes of finding buried treasure is documented on a Discovery Channel series called ”Cooper’s Treasure”. This became quite the hit show as many people became instant fans.
