Flight, disappearance and rediscovery
In 2053, Cochrane began construction of humanity's first warp-capable vessel, the Phoenix, in Bozeman, Montana. 2053 ( MMLIII) will be a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. The Phoenix is the fictional first human-made Spacecraft to travel beyond the Speed of light in the Star Trek science fiction film Bozeman is a city in and the County seat of Gallatin County, Montana, United States, in the southwestern part of the state [1] According to his dialog in Star Trek: First Contact, he started the project for financial gain. Star Trek First Contact is a 1996 Science fiction film and the eighth feature film based in the ''Star Trek'' fictional universe [1]
Cochrane's history is vague, however it is known that he was a physics prodigy with a flair for creating highly creative and original ideas. While a doctoral physics student at California Institute of Technology in January of 2044, Zefram Cochrane studied the theories of physicists Miguel Alcubierre and Richard Obousy, early pioneers in the field of faster than light propulsion. Miguel Alcubierre (Born 1964 is a Mexican Theoretical physicist. Zefram expanded upon Obousy's theories regarding the manipulation of higher dimensional spacetime and he was the first to postulate that a spaceship could use subspace fields projected by a series of coils to warp the fabric of space and that ship could use the warp to propel it faster than light. This drive would work by contracting space-time in front of the ship and expanding space-time behind it. The starship itself would rest in a "warp bubble" between the two space-time distortions. This warped space, together with the region between it, would accelerate off faster than the speed of light and the vessel would then essentially "surf" on the wave in space-time created by this distortion.
On April 5, 2063 at 11:15 AM local time, Cochrane made Earth's first warp flight, playing Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" during blast-off and dedicating the first flight to Alcubierre and Obousy, early pioneers of warp physics.

[1] In the TOS episode "Metamorphosis", James T. Kirk, Spock, and Leonard McCoy find Cochrane living on an asteroid with a being he calls the Companion, an ethereal presence of pure energy who rejuvenated the aged, dying Cochrane more than a century before, and has held him captive — and in a state of youth and vigor — ever since.

Federation
In the novel Federation by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, whose publication predated the release of Star Trek: First Contact by two years, Cochrane's story is told in a different fashion: his warp experiments are the result of a mysterious billionaire's financial and idealistic support in the period between the Eugenics Wars and World War III; his self-identification with Alpha Centauri results from it being the destination of his first warp voyage and his subsequent founding role in the first colony in the system; and his life's story beyond his encounter with Kirk at Gamma Canaris in "Metamorphosis" is depicted up to his death during the events of the third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
