UFO in the Pacific Ocean

Posted on February 7, 2008

During my stint in the Navy I was on an ammunition ship (USS Kilauea) in the Indian Ocean somewhere near Vietnam around early 1974.

Myself and two friends were out on the Foxhull (bow of the ship), it was dark, around 9 pm probably. There was little or no moon but millions of stars like always out there.  We were in a group with a destroyer and a carrier, I think the USS Mason DD, and maybe the Oriskany.

We were watching the Mason in front of us and the glowing trail of ocean it was kicking up from the phosphorus algae in the water when the ocean in front of us lit up, started glowing.  It got brighter and brighter and then this really bright orange/yellow ball came out of the water on the right-starboard side of the destroyer.  It flew over the top of the destroyer and went back in the ocean on the port side, with the same glowing ocean water and then disappeared.

We all just stared at each other with our mouths open.  We could not believe what we saw, but I asked friends of mine who were on watch on the bridge if they saw it and they all did.  There was nothing ever reported that I know of though and we just quit talking about it.  I bet the destroyer got a good look at it.  It went right over the bridge of that ship and it was big.  Maybe 150 to 200 feet in diameter.  That was my big encounter.

    I was Stationed on USS Reeves (CG24) at the same place in late 1974. I had the 0000-0400 Sonar Watch. At about 0130, I picked up a rather large blip (about the size between a carrier and a cruiser) off our port side beam about 140 degrees relative at 2000 yards and drifting towards our baffles. I could only pick up the contact with Active Sonar, nothing showed up with the passive sonar. I reported the bearing and range to the Bridge and to CIC. The Bridge Lookout saw a large glow in the water and the Officer of the deck brought the ship around so I could maintain contact. CIC could not pick it up initially on our Radar, but as we got within 1,000 yard they had a blip, then another, and another. All of a sudden I lost Sonar Contact like it was never there, but CIC still had it at last bearing with an abrupt positive altitude change. The chatter was look at the size of that thing. I went outside through the sonar door on the Port Side and visually saw a large moonlike shape that flew upward over the ship at a 60 degree angle and disappeared into the sky in seconds. I heard no noise from the object when it went over us. I saw a full moon that night on the other side of the ship, but it remained fairly constant give or take a few ship rolls.

    When we pulled into port a few weeks later, all records in the Bridge, CIC, and Sonar logs about that time were torn out. Whoever tore them out made one error, the pen imprint on the next page was still there. No one spoke of the incident again.

    a believable story i’d say that it will be in the papers sometime

  9. dimitri says:

    the same thing happened to me exept it was over the pond and it was white and rectangle shaped it it stood floating, then it flew off really fast

  10. Laura says:

    I believe it 100%

  12. Jacob says:

  13. Lee says:

    I think that you should put scarier ghost pics and lots more like the website angels and ghosts.

  14. Chaos says:

    Sorry, I agree with Jason.

  15. uday says:

    i never had a experience but i think there is someone other than us.

  16. sammie says:

    i believe in ufo’s. i have most of my life. i’m 42 yrs old. while i don’t always believe in the stories, such as alien abductions, silly things, i do believe that there are bonified ufo sightings! all the thousands of witnesses, can’t ALL
    be crazy!

  17. shariah says:

    I fully believe in UFO’S because I’ve seen one. All you have to do is see one and you will be converted to a believer. Those who still refuse to believe in UFO”S haven’t investigated it enough. The proof is out there. But it’s a lot easier to stick your head in the sand and say they don’t exist. After you’ve proven to yourself that they’re real then the question becomes how long have they been there (it’s pretty safe to assume that they’ve been here awhile)? Then the next real mind blower question is where did we really come from? That answer to that question alone could destroy all the traditional theories in a nano second. I think when people say they don’t believe it’s because they don’t want to face the next obvious questions.

  18. Matty says:

    ima telling you theres something really out there we are not alone…..i’ve seen them before in tha sky just no one really believes me but i know wat i saw…but yes i like tha story i really do believe you….

  19. jorryn says:

    WEARD!!!!!!! I sawl a UFO once!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. hannah says:

    like matty i believe you to

  21. Tony says:

    Ok, interesting story it is – another possible facet of old earth origins, I guess! I should think that rather than looking for some new things to gaze at , I’d find reason to look into the very distant earth’s past to examine other possibilities in the making and shaping of the planet earth.

    Where was the origin of Paganism Technically speaking?
    Where is the future of the earth after you’ve considered the arrival of UFOs? Here’s a start!…

  22. Rita P says:

    It’s already been on SciFi that off the coast of Vietnam there is a place just like Bermuda Triangle. So I believe anything can be seen there, and it’s a wonder you weren’t lost never to be seen again. Check into the facts.

  23. aamirr says:

    the story wasnot much interesting and i think it is based on a true fact

  24. GHOST ANGEL says:

    This is really strange because no one belives you when you tell them and that sucks…. i told my mom and dad once, they thought i was going crazy, but then my mom said she saw something the next morning… so my mom is the only one who dosent think im crazy, but i still need my dad to see the UFO’s…

  25. BIANCA says:

    i totally believe thIS story, There is a link between the south pacific AND UFOS.

  26. navy_kru says:

    To be honest with y’all to sit there and say that planet earth is the only planet in the whole universe is retarted. if we have life and intellegence then other planets do to. On top of that earth has not been around for that long. My time in the navy Ive seen things that may never be explained. I have also seen stuff that I m not allowed to talk about. so for all of you who are unsure or need a damn pic to belive. Belive me they are as real as the air u breathe. We were never alone, If your still not sure just look around. No one just woke up one day and could speek a new language. Someone something interviened. and dont say its cuz the land is seperated, distance dose not change ur diolect. Think about it.
    Oh and the Burmuda Triangle i not sure if im allowed to tell u why its there and how it got there. And why now its inactive. All i can tell u is look at the dates of when the stories started and what was going on in the world. I wish i could tell you all more.
    take care
    kru

  27. lee says:

    im going to have to throw in the b.s. card on this as there was no substantial evidence that this even happened not to mention the fact that there were no witnesses named , nor photographic evidence , in conclusion due to lack of substatial evidence this story was most likely b.s.

    i seen a alien in 2005 in my next door neighbers house it walked across the door three times and me and my mates ran for our lives it had big black eyes and a very wide mouth and a small inward nose very very SCARY!!!

  30. Julia Schaffer says:

    It has come to my attention that NONE of you are crazy, believers or not. But come on, do you really expect JUST humans and animals in millions of galaxies?

  31. Lily says:

    WHY CAN’T THE ALIENZ JUZT SHOW THIER FACE?

  32. rylee says:

    i belive

  33. chris says:

    i believe they are stupid for not showing us ,their creations i mean we were created by them

  34. chris says:

    but i believe and agree with julia schaffer i saw one before but i also saw a ghost

  35. Babble says:

    Yes I agree with everyone who says how can we be the only planet with substantial life on it. Of course there is the great possibility of extraterrestial life. And i believe this story. I think i might have seen something but m not going to sya for sure but honestly who ever thinks we are the only ones here you got to be kidding. Ask your self why on earth would god put all these planets and other galaxy out there if we are the only life forms there would be no need for that at all. We would only need one galaxy.

  36. rylee says:

    chris has a good awanser

  37. chris says:

    i am interested in the crop circles, and who drew the cave mapsof stars
    and what they realy look like and some amazing features like stone hendge
    and if egyptians realy built the the pyramids and what glowing lights coming out
    of water like this story thus I believe100%

  38. GHost HAUNTer says:

    I belive this and i say real

  39. Alpha says:

    A man once said that the greatest proof of intelligent life in space is that they haven’t bothered to contact us…
    He spoke words more truer then the sky being blue….

    But in all fairness, i personally believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life, after having a minor sighting of a UFO streaking across the sky. The object was metallic but had an interchanging pattern of colours and hovered motionlessly over the peak of a few mountains, darting back and forth every now and then. (It waslate night and the family and I were returning home from a nice tranquil vacation at Minnesota). As the SUV turned around a corner the metallic object streaked forth a bit and shot off into the sky at a diagonal trajectory, leaving a momentary orangish-reddish blaze.

    We were totally gobsmacked, but our family is accustomed to the paranormal division of the world so we continued on back home, undaunted. The weirdest part was that there were hardly any cars driving past beyond that point and barely any animals too.

    Anyway, i guess i do believe that aliens do exist and i think they have made contact with us and that officials are aware of it somehow. I mean, the reports/detailings of MIB and so many people experiencing encounters. Is it rational to ride them off as conjectures of a ludicrous fantasy?

  40. chris says:

    i am back with more research than you all. though i agree with jason i have done many google search

  41. chris says:

    rilee is my best friend but we all have different theories about aliens and
    even the super natural . on one of the planets of trillions of
    galaxies do you all think that just plants, animals and humans
    are the only life forms in a never ending universe yet still a
    numerous amount of questions remain to be answered
    such as what is big none of u r crazy

  42. future asttronomist says:

    i have begged my parents to take me to arizona but 1 question i had
    why do many sightings occure in deserts ? yet 1 of my conclusions was
    that they are from mars which looks like a desert but is colder than antarctica
    yet how could i conclude this if i was not in arizona yet perhaps i could ask a
    astonomist my self

  43. GHOST ANGEL says:

    I HAVE RESEARCHED MORE THAN ANYONE HERE ABOUT THIS….

  44. rylee says:

    HI ITS ME AGAIN I HAVE TO DONE MY SEARCH AND I FIND THAT IT IS PROBOBLY THAT THAIR ARE OTHERTS OUT THAIR BECAUSE THERE IS AND ENDLESS UNIVERSE . THIS ALSO SOUNDS LIKE A GHOST STORY

  45. GHOST ANGEL says:

    This is not a ghost story this is about crop circles!! duhhh!!!!

  46. GHOST ANGEL says:

    CHRIS SAYS
    We were not created by aliens o.k. We were actually created by GOD only!!!

  47. The Caretaker says:

    Actually it is not about crop circles at all. It is about underwater UFOs

  48. chris says:

  49. sarthak says:
