USS Waldron UFO Incident In 1968
ufoinfo.com
If you believe that UFO’s exist and that we aren’t alone in this universe, you can ask the crew of the destroyer Waldron about an incident that happened in 1968 while on operations in the Caribbean. During the mid-watch, the 2 watch sections remained on the bridge and in combat. One coming on and the other going off, but the off-going section wouldn’t leave. This is not normal, because typically the off-going section is in a hurry to be relieved and get to bed at that time of night. You couldn’t pry the binoculars from the lookouts nor relieve any other section of the watch because they were observing two UFO’s and tracking them on radar.
They appeared in the bright moonlit sky as two bright white lights. They didn’t answer to IFF; therefore they weren’t enemy, friend, foe and weren’t commercial aircraft. We tracked and plotted them at 400 knots on an erratic course that was hyphenated by sharp right angle turns, which no man made vehicle was capable of.
They flew in formation within close proximity to the ship, about a few thousand yards, and one submerged in the warm tropical sea while the other hovered above. When the submerged vehicle emerged, they took off at a 45-degree angle at accelerating speed that caused them to emit an amber glow until as they became distant specks within seconds in the distant ionosphere.
All this happened in the Bermuda Triangle off the coast of Puerto Rico where we were on an operation called Racer Run. Ship officials supposedly sent a report to Washington but, which we never received any feedback.
When I tell people about this they typically don’t believe me and act as if I’m disillusion, but the witnesses and evidence are real. There were about 20 sailors in the 2 watch sections, and the incident was logged in the ships log and reported to the Department of the Navy in Washington.
I have a few questions; what do they want and why are there so many sightings in the Bermuda Triangle? What was in the water that interested them? Who are they and where do they come from? How incredibly long was their journey?

I was shocked to discover the piece I wrote about the UFO incident witnessed by the crew of USS Waldron in 68 was published. Have you received any other responses from any of my shipmates about this siting?

If you find time, you should watch this video over the Bermuda triangle, very interesting:

I don’t have much of a comment, I just wanted to get in touch. I have looked ’round the internet for articles, blogs, etc… addressing the idea that the ocean is somehow closely linked with space. This first occurred to me about 20 years ago, while I was viewing an exhibit of luminescent creatures from the depths of the ocean. I stood there gawking at them and said aloud, “These are aliens.”
I know, I know, it’s far fetched, and I’m certain that I’m not the only person to have observed that they do have an alien-like appearance. We know so little about space and the greatest depths of the ocean, what if they are, in fact, aliens? What if, somehow, space and the ocean are one and the same? We know that the moon affects the tide, so clearly, the two are linked.
I feel kind of stupid putting this out there for anybody to read and scoff at, but after reading some of the things on your site, I thought that perhaps I wasn’t too far off, after all. I felt somewhat validated after reading that 50% of UFO sightings have been in or around large bodies of water.
Yes, my thought that space and the ocean are actually the same thing is hard to swallow, and it may be completely wrong, but I think that the correlation between the two needs to be investigated further, and I am a little shocked to find hardly any evidence of this being done. I’m no scientist, and I’m no genius, but the obvious is, well….. obvious.
Thanks for reading my little two cents, I am enjoying your site, and if you have any retort or any suggestions for further reading, I’d appreciate it.

Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you’re not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.

I served on this ship from ’71-’74 and I never heard any such stories. Sounds like BS.They were probably on acid or something.

Kelly, I can assure you that I and the crew were not tripping acid! You served on the Waldron when she was in the reserve fleet. She was home to me for 3 years, 67 to 70. I beleive the year was 68 when it happened on an operation near PR. The op was called “Racer Run” and the incident happened just as I reported it [on this site]. You never heard anything about it, probably because there wasn’t 1 crew member left from that date except for maybe Jim Kuhn who was an FTG1 and resident golf pro and Capt Sease.
So, don’t dispute it. It happened. 2 bridge watch sections saw it and CIC tracked them and they didn’t answer up to IFF. Therefore they weren’t friend, foe or airline.

Kelly, The Waldron was decommissioned in 73. Unless you signed up for the Columbian Navy you weren’t on her in 74. She was sold to the Columbian Navy and recommissioned as the Santander DD 03. Check out the Waldron Alumni association online and face book.
