There are four categories: Who, What, Where and Why. Some will be easy, some not. I have as many as six clues to help you along, which I'll supply as needed.

Please limit yourself to one guess, and another guess for each clue I supply. No questions asking for help or hints are allowed. Partially correct answers won't be acknowledged.

Wild guesses and comments are fine. In fact, they can add to the mystery and are fun to read. Be precise when guessing.

The Case:
In 1996, a boat carrying an object of extreme international importance lands in San Francisco. Upon landing, a lone man grabs the object and runs away.

The Mystery:
What is the object and what city was its destination?
