Investigation/Report by Tony Dodd SOURCE : UFO Magazine [Vol. 12, Issue 4 Sep/Oct 1993] DATE OF INCIDENT : Dec 1992 Onwards RELEASE DATE : 15th December 1993 FILENAME : ARTICUFO.ASC ============================================================================= CONFRONTATION AT SEA - TONY DODD The mysterious Arctic Circle with its vast ice and snow fields has captured the imagination of the world for many years. One of the few remaining unpolluted areas, protected from civilisation by inhospitable terrain and sub- zero temperatures, it has secured many of its secrets from the probing fingers of mankind for thousands of years. Not far away from this frozen world is the island of Iceland, a land sitting at the joining of the tectonic plates of the Americas and Europe. A volcanic raft of volcanoes, glaciers and geysers, and one of the few place on Earth where radio active isotopes are formed naturally in the bowels of this inferno. This beautiful and rugged land has long been the home of legend. Its people are proud of their viking ancestry. The fishing fleets have been the main source of income for hundreds of years, during which time many have perished when they sought to challenge the might and anger of these dangerous waters. During the Cold War, these waters were protected by America and her allies against the intrusion of Soviet forces slipping out of their bases in the Barent Sea and through the vulnerable north flank of our defences. Large radar stations were located on the coast of Iceland to detect incoming hostile aircraft or ICB missiles. On many occasions aircraft were scrambled to intercept radar contacts which turned out to be the phantoms of the sky, or UFOs. Several fighter pilots who served tours of duty in the area told of encounters with these strange flying machines and their amazing capabilities. On odd occasions and confrontations ended with the loss of the aircraft and the pilot. As the years passed, stories of UFOs and alien beings seen in the vicinity of volcanic activity grew, and reports came from Mexico, Japan and Iceland and later Puerto Rico where residents reported that the aliens were seen regularly and appeared to be mining in the mountains. On my first trip to Iceland, local people told me they had seen UFOs and small alien creatures many times in the vicinity of the Snaefellsjokull Glacier. People regularly left food out in their back gardens when they retired for the night, "to feed the little grey people who live under the glacier." On many occasions the food disappeared, but I suspect this could be the work of hungry animals prowling at night. I had followed the reports coming out of Iceland, but was not prepared for the sequence of events which were to unfold in December, 1992 off the Icelandic coast. This is a true account of these events as given to me by certain contacts directly involved in the incident. Their names can not be quoted as they would be in grave trouble for passing the information. During the last few months of 1992, dozens of UFO reports were received from many parts of northern Scotland. At times the local population were in a near state of hysteria and national press and television teams were quickly on the scene to talk to local witnesses and hopefully obtain film footage of these strange UFOs. Gradually the hysteria fell away and the media having acquired stories returned to their respective homes. 20 DECEMBER 1992: I received a telephone call from an Icelandic naval source who spoke almost at a whisper. He told me that three UFOs were tracked coming down and entering the sea off the east coast of Iceland, close to Langeness. 21 DECEMBER 1992: Icelandic fishermen fishing on the north east coast of Iceland were confronted with several very large, fast moving underwater craft which displayed flashing coloured lights. They appeared to be accompanied by a glowing airborne object travelling south in a general direction north of Scotland. As the craft moved swiftly through the water, they came in to contact with nets being trawled by the fishermen, resulting in much damage. The fishermen, who were used to seeing submarines in the area, stated that this was unlike any submarine they had previously witnessed: "They were too large, too fast and normal submarines don't display flashing coloured lights," they said. The fishermen were afraid and informed the Icelandic authorities. They were soon joined by ships of the National Icelandic Coast Guard who performed escort duty. 23 DECEMBER 1992: An Icelandic Coast Guard vessel and two gun boats were ordered to take up station off Langeness. This operation was covered by a veil of secrecy and the crew felt quite uneasy. This are is of course where three UFOs were originally tracked coming down. Their role at Langeness was observation. At this time a fleet of NATO (including British) warships arrived on the scene, in what was described as a 'naval exercise'. (Have you ever heard of a major military exercise at Christmas?) British newspapers carried a story that during the exercise the ships had started to track a very large underwater craft thought to be one of a new generation of Russian 'super' submarines. 24 DECEMBER 1992: The crews of two British nuclear Hunter killer-type submarines were recalled home from Christmas leave and told to report to their respective bases. The two submarines, HMS Endurance and HMS Warrior were then dispatched to link up with the surface fleet. At this time Icelandic Coast Guard vessels and gun boats were ordered to take up station at Alice Fjord on the east coast of Iceland. Further information from contacts stated that four more UFOs had been tracked descending and entering the sea - in the same quadrant as the first three. They also confirmed that the entire operation was linked to the tracking of known underwater alien craft. They also reported that a massive sea search was underway for a missing surface vessel. The operation was being conducted with great secrecy. 30 DECEMBER 1992: Icelandic radio broadcast a story claiming that many people in the east of the Island have seen UFOs over the mountains near the coast. 12 JANUARY 1993: All Icelandic vessels are held up at Langeness Fjord because of appalling weather conditions. Terrified residents report strange, small figures around the Fjord. 6 FEBRUARY 1993: The weather improved, and all ships were ordered back to sea. Icelandic ships take up original positions on observational duty. These observations still continuing by 24 February. 25 FEBRUARY 1993: All ships warned not to move within three nautical miles of the American destroyer flotilla operating near the Arctic Circle. While outside the exclusion zone, ships radar picked up sixteen airborne contacts over the American fleet. The yellow lights were seen to descend and hover over the warships. There is no possibility that these were helicopters because of the distance from land. Furthermore, the weather conditions were too severe for helicopters to fly. 15 APRIL 1993: All ships involved in this secret operation were then ordered to search for the missing American vessel. Only two destroyers remain in the area; both have had their names removed. The crews are seen to be wearing full battle dress. All civilian ships, including gun boats and coast guard vessels were now ordered out of this area and excluded from the prohibited zone. (I have no doubt that this was the case because I had by this time started making enquiries in America about the US destroyers.) During the operation, the American ships stayed at sea. The authorities therefore, must have assumed that information leaks were coming from other ships. 16 APRIL 1993: British television and newspapers carried the headline: JOINT AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN MILITARY EXERCISES ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. For the first time sine World War II, joint exercises involving elite American and Russian troops are about to take place on Russian soil. The area of operation was said to be Siberia. The arrival point of the American Troops, was Tiksi. (A map indicates that Tiksi is probably the nearest Russian sea port to the area where all the navel activity was occurring.) 21 APRIL 1993: The crew of and Icelandic Airlines aircraft, travelling from London to Iceland became aware that two UFOs (two large balls of white light) had joined the aircraft as it passed over the north coast of Scotland. The brightly glowing balls of light took up position on either side if the aircraft towards the tail, and kept this position all the way to Iceland and only flew off as the aircraft landed at Keflavik Airport. 15 MAY 1993: I received information that a massive sea search was under way for two missing Icelandic fishing boats. Search crews were apprehensive and disturbed by the appearance of white tubular fluorescent type lights which appeared in the night sky hovering over their vessels. At this time the radio on the ships refused to function - but worked normally again when the objects moved away. The search for the missing vessels was eventually called off after many days at sea. The crews were warned again if the severe consequences of divulging any information in relation to the events of the previous few weeks. The authorities were angry that information had leaked out. After this my information stopped. My colleagues in the United States approached the Office of Naval Intelligence. They explained they were aware of the incidents off the coast of Iceland and asked for their comments. The officer, to whom they were talking, dismissed the story as rubbish, stating that they would have been aware of such an incident, but promised to make a couple of telephone calls. Some time later, our contacts received a telephone call from ONI (The Office of Naval Intelligence). This time the friendly attitude had changed and the person sounded angry and demanded to know where the information had come from. At this time a team of 'remote viewers' in the Unites States were asked to assist in finding out what had happened to the American warships in the Arctic Circle. They eventually said that a 'Sea Shadow' stealth ship operated in the area - towing an instrument barge. The barge, loaded with advanced instrumentation, had been monitoring underwater alien mining operations. The remote viewers said that suddenly the ship disappeared. No more information was forthcoming. During a trip to Denmark between 15-21 October, 1993, I was informed that the news media in Norway had been broadcasting stories telling how NATO warships had been tracking and chasing underwater alien craft in the area off Iceland and Norway. Further information regarding this on-going situation is awaited. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: Please take this information as is.
