Initial data
Richard Dolan discovered a case concerning the US Coast Guard buried in the database of the National UFO Reporting Center in 1973.
It included an incredible encounter with a UFO in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the confiscation of photographs by "Men in Black" and the intimidation of witnesses.
The incident occurred in the summer of 1973 somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The exact coordinates and the specific location remain undisclosed, which adds to the mystery of this event.
The incident began when the crew of a US Coast Guard vessel reportedly noticed an unusual object in the sky. Witnesses described how these objects hovered and maneuvered in a way that contradicted the capabilities of conventional aircraft. He was emitting strange lights and showing chaotic movements, leaving the team confused and worried.
In a bold attempt to document the unexplained phenomenon, several Coast Guard crew members managed to photograph an unidentified object. These photos were supposed to serve as the most important visual evidence of the meeting.
One of the most notable aspects of this incident was the alleged intervention of mysterious individuals commonly referred to as the "Men in Black". Some believe that these people, who often appear in UFO-related reports, are government agents tasked with concealing or discrediting UFO-related evidence.
In this case, the "Men in Black" allegedly boarded a Coast Guard vessel and confiscated photographic evidence, as well as any other records or documentation related to the incident.
Crew members who witnessed and tried to document the collision with the UAP reported that they felt threatened and intimidated by the "Men in Black". These people allegedly warned the witnesses not to discuss the incident with anyone and expressed a sense of secrecy and urgency.
The incident, like many other OAP clashes involving military personnel, was shrouded in mystery. The details of this event were allegedly classified or hidden, which made it difficult for researchers and the public to access comprehensive information.
"The UFO was falling, hovering over us. We could see what I would call portholes. I was spinning while it was hovering. The lights changed color. Then it would rise in a second and become very small. Then he seemed to show off, as if he knew we were watching him. It would accelerate across the sky in a fraction of a second, moving at a right angle," said an eyewitness.
Many photos of this ship were taken with a telephoto lens. I remember I couldn't wait to see the photos after they were developed. I've never seen them.
When we were relieved of duty at the ocean station, we headed back to Governor's Island, Yankee Pier, where our home port was located. We did not expect such a reception that we were given. When we docked, I saw quite a lot of "Men in Black" waiting to board our ship.
Usually after docking, if you were not on duty, we were given freedom usually for 72 hours. No one was allowed to leave the ship. We were all interrogated one by one by these "Men in Black". We were told to sign affidavits stating that we had not seen anything. We were warned that if we told anyone about this, we would be gone.
"We were told not to contact any media and try to tell this story. If we did, we would be held accountable by the government."
So, it becomes obvious that we really have a huge amount of data about these events; it is simply shrouded in mystery, hidden from the public eye.

UFO sighting aboard Coast Guard Cutter Spencer
As per your phone call earlier today, I will restate what we experienced while aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Spencer WHEC-36, (commissioned in 1936 and decommissioned in 1974.
There is a new Spencer in service, but this is not the one I was aboard. My ship was a 327 ft Cutter. It can be viewed if you google Coast Guard Cutter Spencer WHEC-36. I have tried to the best of my ability to recall the date, but since we stood so many Ocean Stations, it is hard to remember which of those this occured.
The conditions were warm, seas calm, and sighting occured during the night. There were 140 mean aboard the Spencer, and a large number of my fellow crewmen witnessed what I did. Officers and enlisted men saw what I saw.
I remember a ((specialty deleted)) had some state-of-the-art photo equipment. I think he had an Olympus camera with telephoto lens. He was at least one crewmen photographing this UFO. We were in the middile of the Atlantic, all running ligh! ts on as usual.
I remember someone saying come on deck, there's a UFO. The UFO had bright lights that changed color. It was if the UFO was checking us out. A ship with all its running lights on would be easily seen from above in the Atantic. I was ((specialty deleted)). Some names I remember were fellow ((specialties deleted)). ((name #1 deleted)), ((name #2 deleted)) and ((name #3 deleted)). I can't be sure they were aboard for this Duty, but I'm sure at least one was. I can not remember the others.
The UFO would come down hovering above us. We could see what I would describe as portholes. I rotated as it hovered. The lights changed color. Then it would go up in a second becoming very small. Then it seemed to show off, as if it knew we were watching it. It would accelerate across the sky in a split second while doing right angles.
Many photos of this craft were taken with telephoto lens. I remember I couldn't wait to see the photos after they were developed. I never saw them. The show lasted about an hour. Messages of this sighting were sent to Washington, DC.!
When we were relieved from Ocean Station Duty, we headed back to Governor's Island, Yankee Pier, where was our home port. We were not expecting the reception that we received. As we were docking, I saw quite a few "Men In Black" waiting to board our ship. Usually after docking, if you did not have duty, we were granted liberty of usually 72 hours. No one was allowed to leave the ship. We were all interrogated one by one by these "Men In Black". We were told to sign an affidavit, stating we saw nothing. We were warned that if we mention this to anyone, we would be gone.
We were told not to go to any news media, and try and tell this story. If we did, we would be prosecuted by the govenment.
I found out later that my friend, the ((specialty deleted)) had all of his photo equipment, pictures, and developing equipment confiscated. He was not reimbursed for any of his expensive equipment, it was simply taken from him.
I will end the story here, to be brief as possible. Please give me a call at ((number deleted)) my home phone after recieving this, so I know you received it. Please keep this confidential as possible. I'm sure you will. I will research the Internent and my old photos, to see if I can get some crewmember names.
Thank you,

I await further correspondence.
I have obtained quite a few names and their ranks of men who served aboard the CGC Spencer. I have tried to contact as many as possible by leaving my email at a web site devoted to those who served aboard the CGC Spencer. No one has responded as yet, but this is one of those sites where you post comments on a board. If you would like to check the site out its www.fred'splace.org then at the right site click on CGC Cutters M thru Z, then Spencer, then during the 70's. I am not sure if I sent you an email address, so you may contact me at ((name deleted)) I appreciate your confidentiality of all info supplied. Do you have a time frame needed before going on the air again? I have agreed to be on your program.
Thank You!
