Tony Dodd - Under the Oceans -continued...

I became more and more fascinated by Iceland, not only was I getting detailed information about activity off the East coast of the country, I was beginning to feel a real telepathic pull towards the place, as if I was mean to go there. My friend with Icelandic contacts whom I cannot identify because it would prejudice his job, but also his role as a contact for future dealings, was very aware of an instinct to go to Iceland, a country he had visited several times before. He is not a Ufologist, but had become interested in the subject after having an encounter with a UFO. He heard me giving a lecture and recognised that I was talking about the things he intuitively understood. . I have since realised that he like me receives telepathic messages and we were both being nudged in the direction of Iceland as a scene for a possible meeting with the aliens themselves.

So in the spring of 1993 we flew to Reykjavik. We hired a light aircraft and flew low across the glaciers and remote regions, both hoping that we would somehow sense where we should go. There was no blinding flash of realisation, but we both felt that our instinct that Iceland was the right place was confirmed, and there was one particular area on the edge of the glacier Snaefellsjokull, that had a good feeling about it. We decided therefore to organise a UFO conference in Reykjavik, and bring in speakers from all over the world.

I continued to receive information about in the North Atlantic and throughout 1996 and 1997, the crews of Icelandic fishing boats, who took my telephone number with them to sea, they called in to report mysterious sightings, usually of the large black triangular objects. The reports came in clusters with a few sightings within days of each other and then nothing for a few weeks.

At 7.30pm. On Monday 12th February, 1996 I received a ship to shore telephone call from a fishing vessel in the Denmark Strait, off the West coast of Iceland. The caller told me that a huge triangular craft had appeared and was hovering low in the sky close to his boat. The transmission cut off as he was talking to me. He rang again, fifteen minutes later, to say that all electronics on the boat had suddenly failed. He said that he and the rest of the crew had seen the triangular object move away from the boat and suddenly descend into the sea. The moment it disappeared electronic power had been restored.

Six days later at 9pm. I had another call from a fishing vessel. The whole crew were terrified because three large black triangular accompanied by three independent red balls of light, had emerged from the sea and were hovering silently close to their boats. I asked if they were picking up the objects on radar; he replied no, but that radar was irrelevant, in view of the fact that the whole crew was on deck watching them.

He said the objects were close, hovering over the port bow, and completely silent. Although they were black, there were small lights at different parts of their outline. Again the phone went dead, and when he called me again it was to report that all the objects had vanished into the sea.

The following day another fishing boat reported watching a gigantic sphere hovering in the air not far from the boat. It slowly moved away and then descended into the sea. An hour later, there was another call from the same boat. The voice on the phone said, “ There are now six large fluorescent-tube-like objects hovering in the air close to our position. They are blue colour and not making a sound. All these strange things are making the crew very frightened, we don’t like this at all”.

Two months later at 10.55pm. I was contacted from on board a ship fishing 200 miles South West of the coast of Iceland. The caller said, “You are not going to believe what we have just seen. We were close to a group of American warships and suddenly there was a blinding flash of light and one of the warships just disappeared in front of our eyes. I know it sounds crazy, but I can assure you it happened a short time ago. Soon after this an American boat came over and ordered us and other fishing boats to leave the area. Our Captain was happy to go, he told us to get the boat out of the area as quickly as possible and return to our base in Iceland. This incident has upset us all, but particularly the Captain. He is in his cabin with a large bottle of whisky”.

As with other disappearing ships, the American authorities denied all knowledge. I was puzzled as to how, if not only ships but substantial numbers of naval officers and men were going missing, the whole affair was being kept quiet in the States: surely there would be anxious families kicking up a fuss if they were fobbed off without proper explanations. My American contacts, some of who had high level contacts in the US Navy assured me that silencing families poses no problem to the authorities, who know how dependant they are on pensions and other support systems. On the other hand I realise that the US Navy could have been testing a high-tech masking device, to effectively conceal a ship from the enemy. I have no knowledge of such a device, but that does not mean such a thing does not exist. The fishermen may also have witnessed some sophisticated Philadelphia type equipment in operation.

Throughout the summer of 1996, I received a series of reports of aircrew notifying their ground control of strange lights in the sky near them, which could not be picked up on ground radar: A keen researcher who was monitoring the air waves picked up messages from RAF and commercial planes around the coast of Northern England and Scotland which coupled with the reports I was still receiving from Icelandic aircrew, underlined that something continuous and unusual was going on.

In the autumn, two mysterious incidents happened. The first was a major UFO flap over East Anglia, after a red and green rotating light was seen in the sky over the sea, South East of Skegness. It was spotted by local policemen, the crew of a ship at sea, passenger aircraft in the area, coastguard officials and local residents, as well as appearing on coastguard and RAF radar screens.

Flight –Lieutenant George, from RAF Northwood commented, “This echo is still on our radar screens and we can not explain this at all apart from it being a meteorological phenomenon but then again we have visual sighting also. The civilian flight that reported these lights as a flare was six miles away at the time. All very strange”.

Flight –Lieutenant Sweatman of RAF Neatishead said, “The object has still not moved, the London radar and RAF Waddington can also see it”. Later Flight Lieutenant Sweatman commented to the press; “ We have not been able to offer an explanation. The number of independent reports we have had suggest there is something to follow up. We will be investigation thoroughly”.

The second strange event that autumn happened north of the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, on October 27th, 1966 there were reports of an explosion, followed by burning debris falling into the sea. A huge air and sea rescue operation, estimated as costing as much as £200, 000, was launched and local residents assumed that a plane had gone down. But there was apparently no recovery made. I was given details by a contact with access to information from RAF Kinloss, where the first reports were received at 5pm. On Sunday, 27th October. The RAF station issued an alert to coastguards and other vessels in the area of something seen spiralling into the sea, then a helicopter and two lifeboats were launched. An RAF Nimrod, call sign rescue 11, was airborne, but poor weather and visibility meant that the search had to be called off by midnight. It was resumed the next day at 7am.

There were half hourly SITREPS (Situation Reports) from the Nimrod to RAF Kinloss. At 8am. A message from the Nimrod picked up by a researcher was unreadable, but Kinloss’s reply was clear: “ Confirm…Six feet long and three feet diameter.

Officially when asked by journalists investigating the incident the authorities said that nothing was seen or retrieved.

A week later a NATO naval task force moved into the area north of Lewis on what was described as a routine training exercise and nothing to do with the explosion. The arrival of the ships was reported in The Scotsman newspaper on 4th. November. It was it seems a rather a large exercise: there were thirty two surface ships, seven submarines and eighty aircraft.

I have reported but a few incidents during these interesting times. I leave it to you to form your own conclusions as to what it all means, but there is very definitely something very secret going on which the authorities do not feel the public should know about.
