After talking with a former US Air Force coastal anti-aircraft battery officer who served during Vietnam and making note of a strange incident in 2012 I put the two together for an explanation. I attended 3 of the 5 scheduled UFO Crash Retrieval Conferences in Las Vegas. Each time I was surprised at the number of retired and reserve intelligence officers who took interest in the convention. One officer told me of an incident in 1967 where his anti-aircraft battery located on the Florida coast had picked up a “Bogey” on their radar. At the time he claimed they had the most powerful targeting radar available. During this period tensions were high as the Vietnam War was in full swing, SAC (Strategic Air Command) was on alert, and with Cuba, China, and the Soviet Union on the move advanced warning systems were alerted everywhere.

Incoming threat

As they tracked the incoming UFO confidence was high that it was not civilian or conventional. Just as the radar guided anti-aircraft artillery was about to fire the coast battery installation was hit by a powerful burst of energy that completely knocked out their targeting radar. They were electronically blinded by an unidentified aerial vessel that had been approaching the US coastline. At the time they were at a loss to explain who had done this, where they came from, and what kind of instrumentality was involved.

Demonstration of force?

Fast forward to 2012. A US Naval missile cruiser is on patrol in the Baltic Sea. Due to the Obama Administration’s lax attitude toward Russian provocations on the high seas US Naval Captains and commanders are instructed to stand down even when Russian fighters or bombers are making high speed passes at their ships. Though the class of missile cruiser this ship was is not revealed, we don’t know if it was an Arleigh Burke Class or some other missile capable warship, but we do know the events that transpired. The Russians have been known to ram US Naval Warships on routine patrol. They have been known to make aggressive moves on US military aircraft such as fighter jets. The Russians also regularly infringe upon US air space with their TU-95 long range bomber requiring interception by US fighters.

A sitting duck spared?

On this occasion as the US Naval missile cruiser made its way through Baltic Sea waters its radar picked up approaching Russian aircraft. Due to the circumstances the missile systems of the US ship were activated for launch should the need be determined. Once the Russian jet was several thousand yards away it emitted a powerful pulse that blinded the onboard radar operations. Considered the most sophisticated radar in the world, the US Navy ship was incapable of targeting incoming threats. As the story goes, this action completely demoralized the crew who thought next they would be attacked! Instead the Russians simply took a flyby and left the stunned crew to steam home. The Russians later made a statement that the more complex the radar system the easier it is to take out. So, apparently the Russians have a trick up their sleeve and they may have had it for a long time. Amazingly, the US apparently does not know how to counter it. Electronic warfare or radar jamming is how they refer to this technology.
