Willie Durand Urbina: To The North of Puerto Rico

 

To The North of Puerto Rico

By Wille Durand Urbina-Puerto Rican Research Group

70.8% of Planet Earth's surface is covered by seas and oceans. All of us are literally living on a balloon made of water of which we still know very little. We have more knowledge about the moon or the planet Mars than about the surface of our oceans. A Spanish author, Antonio Ribera, an expert on the UFO phenomenon, has stated: "The volume of our seas and oceans is almost 1,300 million cubic kilometers, which represents, to those who wish to hide within it, a kind of "shelter". This "shelter" may well be used by ufonauts, whoever they might be. There is testimony that confirms this. Throughout all the ages of history, reports of unknown flying objects and astonishing lights in the ocean have been brought to our awareness, and other accounts confirm the existence of a narrow link between modern UFOs and the sea..."

This leads us to make the following question: What role does the so-called "Bermuda Triangle" play in all of this? This alleged region occupies a segment of ocean which runs from Bermuda to Miami and then to Puerto Rico. For those who still doubt about the existence of the UFO phenomenon on this part of the planet, I propose that they consider the following: In 1963, the U.S. Navy was conducting maneuvers in the Atlantic to the north of Puerto Rico in the vicinity of the so-called "Bermuda Triangle". The aircraft carrier Wasp and two destroyers formed part of the fleet which participated in these naval exercises, which also included a number of submarines. No UFOs crossed the skies on this occasion, but the sonar on one of the destroyers indicated that one of the submarines had broken formation to chase after an unknown object. It was momentarily believed that the intruder was part of the exercise, but it was later noted that the pursued artifact exceeded the speed of anything known to man.

The object traveled at over 280 kilometers an hour under water -- a considerable difference from the maximum speed reached by a submarine, which is 80 kilometers an hour.

The chase lasted for 4 days. The mysterious object descended to a depth of 27,000 feet, well beyond the range of any submarine. It remains a disquieting fact of the UFO phenomenon that these objects appear to be more common in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle than elsewhere.

Perhaps the so-called Bermuda Triangle represents the epicenter of the entire UFO phenomenon.
