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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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?
