  • Henry Gale was one of Widmore's ways of finding the island, just like he sent Desmond on a make believe sailing race around the world.
  • The facts surrounding Henry's death are unclear. Sayid assumes Ben and the Others killed him, while Ben simply denied that he had any part in it.
    • Was killed by the Others when he made the signal fire on the beach per the "The $20 note". He was then carried back to the balloon and buried.
  • Henry may have been the owner of Minnesota Metallurgy & Mining Co, since Ben's story to Sayid as the fake Henry Gale included former ownership of a company that mined "non-metallic minerals."
  • Since the balloon was sponsored by Widmore Corporation, Henry may have been traveling with an objective related to Desmond, either on Penny's or Charles Widmore's behalf.
  • Henry may have been on the island for the same reason as Naomi Dorrit, they work for the same organisation that are trying to gain access to the Island. He was killed by The Others because he is 'one of the bad guys'.
  • He may have had an emergency transmitter/ADF beacon, since Benjamin mentioned it to Sayid.
    • The Others may have attacked and/or killed him to retrieve the transmitter.
  • The face of the man behind Joop (part of the Lost Experience) looks very much like the picture of the real Henry Gale on the MN ID.

    • Most likely not as he wouldn't be writing about traveling the world and not making it, as he would of been planning on landing.
  • Henry 's flight was related to the DHARMA Initiative's supply drops.
  • It was Henry's signal fire that was found in "".
  • Henry was a precursor to the frieghter. He was sent, knowingly or unknowingly, by Charles Widmore to find a way to the island. Once he got there he was killed by the Others, but the fact that he wasn't heard from again kept Widmore's search alive.
  • Ben interrogated Henry about his life and killed him.
