The marine scientist theorized that the object was mechanical and running on robot pilot, but since they were unable to receive any signal from the USO, he really had no idea what it might have been.

In the summer of 1969, Englishman John Fairfax rowed his way across the Atlantic, docking in Fort Lauderdale after six harrowing months alone on the sea. When asked by journalists to name the most impressive thing that had happened to him during the ocean adventure, Fairfax replied rather reluctantly that the answer to that question would have to be the appearance of objects that could not have been anything other than flying saucers.

Emphasizing that he had never believed in such things, he went on to explain that there was much more involved in his experience than simply observing UFOs. There was a force he told reporters; it was as if the objects kept asking him if he wanted to come with them.

"And I was fighting [the force] and saying back, 'No, no, no,'" Fairfax said. “It was like telepathy, like being hypnotized. Then these luminous saucers swooped down over the ocean, rose and swooped down again.” ******

In December, 1997, a massive craft was seen emerging from the sea next to an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. According to engineer Jeremy Packer, the sighting was witnessed by 250 oil rig workers.

At about 7:58 A.M., Packer said that everyone got frightened when they heard a rumbling noise that they knew couldn't be the engines that ran the platform bore. Looking toward the west, they sighted twenty-five to thirty helicopters on maneuvers. This was not unusual, Packer said, except that the rig commander said that he had not received the usual alert regarding Coast Guard maneuvers.

Then, according to Packer, they all saw something that totally changed their lives. All of the helicopters stopped in midair and a huge metal cigar-shaped object about the size of the oil platform surfaced beneath them. The massive craft, about as long as two football fields, soared straight out of the water and into the air, where it hovered above the helicopters for about two minutes.

Packer described the object as concave on its underside with four large domes on its bottom. The topside of the cigar-shaped craft was encircled by beautiful lights of every color that one could imagine.

And then, as if someone had turned off a light switch, the giant craft had disappeared. One second everyone was studying the object through binoculars or telescopes, then, in the literal blink of an eye, it was gone.

As an interesting sidenote, Packer said that the crew noticed that their watches were 30 minutes later than the actual time when they got back to the mainland.

In 1990, on a dark night somewhere in the Andes near the ancient site of the sacred Incan city of Ollantaytambo, Peru, my wife Sherry and I watched numerous illuminated UFOs emerge from the surface of a lake, soar into the night sky in a peculiar zigzag flight pattern, then descend once again beneath the water. Obviously quite accustomed to the sight, the Peruvian villagers went about their tasks of carrying grain and water to their families in jars atop their heads, paying little attention to the USO phenomenon. In answer to our queries regarding the glowing objects, the villagers’ answers were consistent: “Angels…the Old Ones…the grandfathers, who have never left us.”
