Florida UFO Sightings in 1976

Full Report Text:

I have checked your log report and found that the sighting I reported shortly after December 6, 1976, was not filed. I am dismayed but have not forgotten a single detail. At about 5:30 AM on 12/06/1976, as was ususal I was heading West on Sterling Rd.

in Davie, Florida, to drop my children 4 and 1 1/2 years old at a daycare center. I was enrolled in BCC and my wife worked at ((name deleted)) restaurant on ((deleted)) Rd. As I was passing a bicyclyst I noticed in the Northwest sky a fireball falling.

After a minute I pulled my car over and shut it off to say prayers as I thought it was a plane crashing. I sat for several minutes after the fireball disappeared behind trees several miles away but I saw no flash, nor did I hear an explosion. Within two more minutes I and my wife observed a huge dull, grayish metalic looking object that was heading slowly toward us and southeast.

The object was immense, did not emit any noise, smoke or any exhaust that would be noticable from thermal fluctuations of the air around it. The object now appeared to be oblong or cigar shaped, more than 250 feet long and more than 30 feet high. There seemed to be some sort of whitish light atop and a light at each end, front and rear but not white.

As it approached our vehicle my wife's upper body leaned out the window to look up at it. I observed it from the windshield inside. We kept asking what the he** it was and when I looked at her I noticed her back and the entire interior of the car was illuminated.

I then noticed my 4 year old daughter leaning on the back window looking up. I then looked at my interior light and saw it was not lit. I immediately looked out my side window and it was still pitch black outside the car.

I then looked up as best I could to get a fix on the structure as it was now less than 50 feet from us. The surface was not metal at all. It had a sandy texture similar to that of shark skin.

I could not locate any seams or a single area that would suggest any conventional assembly that I am or have ever been aware of. The object became stationary for an undetermined period of time and we just stared at it for minutes. From the corner of my left eye I could see a small child-like figure run rapidly across the front of my headlights.

It was about to climb over the metal road barrier but hesitated and turned toward me. I had immediately tried to get a glimpse of any articles that I might be able to identify but it had nothing. No shoes, belt, tools, weapons or any other devices.

My first thought was to jump out and grabit and throw it in the trunk because no one would believe me if I didn't. A voice of sorts told me not to move or I would be harmed. I tried to lift my arm and was horrified that it looked as if it was cut off where the light ended inside the car.

I looked at the figure again and thought that it was so small and having no weapons I could take it in a few seconds. The voice or whatever it was described the stretch cloth suit it was wearing carried 40,000 volts of piezoelectrical current. This is a term I had never heard of and I knew I could not have imagined the thought.

The figure then hopped over the fence and went into a horse breeding ranch at about 140th st. My last memory of the incident was when I was looking behind me in my car and seeing a somewhat different shaped object about 1 mile south of me moving slowly at first but then as I watched it the object seemed to accelearte so fast it just vaporized. It was also after sunrise and without a word to my wife or a word from her to me I started my car, drove to the daycare center, dropped off the children and did not say a word to the people.

I learned later that we were at the scene for more than 40 minutes. I never saw the bicyclist pass us. A also lost my eyesight for almost 2 days after the incident.

After years of horrible dreams and nightmares I learned that the subjects who occupy the craft are from a parralel universe. Their craft are not built but actually grown by reconstructing the atomic anatomy of what we call a "Diamond" where the conditions exist for such. The suit (for lack of a better term) that the small figure was covere with is also a mineral which is genetically altered.

I also learned that, just as a diamond, the outer shell adapts to the temperature changes the instant the craft becomes stablilized in whatever atmospheric temperature it is suspended in. One issue that has stuck in my mind for years is the fact that whatever the voice was that conveyed the images to me also mentioned repeatedly; m" You can be violent." I am not sure if it applied to me or the people of this planet as a whole.

However, the occupants of the craft I saw are neither friendly nor inclined to become violent. They have almost no emotional state at all, yet they are certainly aware of ours. As for the interior of the craft; there was not a single sharp angle anywhere I could see and again, nothing to provide any evidence that the object was assembled.

It looked more like something hollowed out areas of a huge iceberg with a torch. The area which was used to control it's speed and motion was a long, flat, glass-like surfce no more than 2 inches thick and less than 2 ft. wide but rather long.

I also could not locate any source of light despite the entire interior ares I went being fully luminated.

Three of us walked down to the bay of Naples to see the sunset. The sky was still light. All of us saw a craft in front of us hovering about 8-10 ft.

above the water. It was approximately 25 ft in front of us. The craft was very large (About 30 ft.

In diameter) and circular with sides that were on a slant outwards. All sides were of a dark color or were black and shiny. No windows were noticed.

There were two different colors of lights on the outside of the craft. One was a white color. The other Im not positive, but I think was green.

The craft made a humming sound while hovering. When the craft took off, it went super fast and in directions airplanes do not fly. There was no noticeable propulsion coming from the craft.

There was no smoke, fire, or plumes. It just took off. The next day in the newspaper was something about a UFO on the radar at the airport.

Mid-1970's Thonotosassa, Florida sighting at Stacey and Knights Griffin The date is approximate, give or take a year. I was about six years old and was spending the weekend with my grandparents who lived on Knights Griffin Rd. in Thonotosassa, FL.

not too far east of Tampa. They had picked me up and we were retuning to their home. After turning on to Stacey Rd.

from Highway 301 we noticed an object in the sky hovering above Stacey Rd. at the intersection of Stacey and Knights Griffin Rd. The object had already enticed a few on-lookers and we pulled over as well.

We just stared at what I recall being a grey disk shaped object with circular lights around the circumference. Their was no sound of an engine or propeller. I remember watching until it simply vanished.

There may have been a momentary light trail, but my memory is vague on this point. Everyone that had pulled their cars/trucks over spent a few minutes talking about their disbelief and then everyone was on their way. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate.

PD)).

Saw a saucer with extreme brightness, spinning rapidy, with windows surrounding the ship, and no sound. Observed Saucer 1000'overhead. Lowered to 500' and was spinning very rapidly with no sound at all.

The saucer was brightly lit with a very luninous look to it. There were windows evenly spaced around the whole ship which lead me to believe it looked like a spinning rooftop restaurant. Got in my car and quickly drove toward the yatch basin and as I looked in my outside mirror, I saw the ships reflection and it was following me.

As I approached the yatch basin 2 more people standing outside pointed at it and started to run. The ship was 2000' above us and then disappeared so quickly that it looked like a star in a matter of seconds.

Vi junto con mis abuelos y mi hermana, un UFO muy grande, claro y nítido, como a 100 metros de nosotros y a una altura de 30 metros aproximadamente y estuvo estacionado como por 15 minutos enfrente un hotel de Kissimee, Florida por la noche. Debió ocurrir entre el 18 y el 22 de agosto de 1976 debido a que durante ese viaje festejé mi cumpleaños unos días antes en Houston, Tx. Quisiera saber si existe algún otro reporte de un evento similar porque pienso mucho en esto y nunca he podido corroborar esta situación.

Watched rectangular shaped amber colored UFO perform S turns, change shape and exit atmosphere at impossible speed and left an ion trai On a hot summer night 30 years ago, my brother (a marine engineer) and myself(a college student at the time) were fishing in an inlet near the mouth of Tampa Bay. The night was quiet and clear. Suddenly, my brother startled me by exclaiming " What the hell is that ?!".

He pointed to the eastern horizon and there just above the water was an oddly shaped RECTANGULAR object (it had 90 degree corners). The amber color object appeared to just hang motionless for about 30-40 seconds. It was tilted at a weird angle.

Shortly thereafter, the object started to slowly move in our general direction with the same odd tilt. As it moved towards us, the object moved higher in the sky. It was nearly 90 degrees straight up when it instantly disappeared.

Then about 5 seconds later, the amber color craft reappeared but this time it was CIRCULAR or SPHERICALLY shaped. It continued moving due west for a few more seconds when it made a 90 degree left hand turn which brings the object in the sky above our heads. It then began a series of impossible S turns above our heads.

We became concerned that this object was too weird and close for comfort so we threw our fishing gear into the truck and started the engine. At this point, the object finished one last S curve when it suddenly accelerated into an incredibly fast and impossible upward corkscrew movement that took it straight up and out of the atmosphere. The corkscrew exit from the atmosphere lasted only 3 to 5 seconds ! Left behind in it's wake, was a glowing corkscrew shaped ion trail in the sky that lasted about 45 seconds.

We were completely dumbfounded but assured each other that whatever it was that we saw had defied the laws of physics and human technical knowledge. The entire sighting lasted about 5 minutes. There was no sound whatsoever.

The object remained several thousand feet above us but was possibly the size of a large airliner or bigger. Note that there was a report of a similar UFO by a seperate witness about 10 away miles. This sighting was in the vicinity of MacDill AFB over Tampa Bay.

5 glowing, pale green spheres in a chevron formation slowly flying north to south (Note: I am NOT sure of the exact date of this incident. It happened when I was an early teen, but I remember that I still didn't have my drivers licence yet (I got it at 15 years old). That narrows it down to 1976 to 1978.

Sorry. It's the best I can do. The month is also an estimate.

I remember it being a moonless warm night.) My friend and I were about 14 and 17 respectively and on a clear night we were outside in his back yard looking through his telescope. To our north, we saw five pale green spherical lights that were in a chevron pattern traveling due south at about 100 MPH, or less (estimate).

At first, it seemed like lights outlining a single craft; but as they passed directly over our heads, we could clearly make out stars in between the "Spheres" of light. We realized that we were looking at 5 separate craft. We were both (and still are) aviation fanatics.

Both were taking flying/glider lessons and I was a later a member of the Civil Air Patrol. These spheres made no sound, had no exhaust traces or trails. They were not aircraft of any kind as we knew them.

To estimate their size, I would say that if you held up a baseball at arms length, it would approximate their size (each) to the eye. My friends yard is on the highest hill in the area. So, as they passed south of us, we could get a better estimate of size/altitude.

It was late night so this is still very much an estimate: They were about 50-60 feet in diameter each. They were about 50 feet apart and were about 600 to 800 feet in the air. As they passed over the next neighborhood south of us, one of the spheres lit an incredibly white light.

It first pointed out to the right (east), then immediately aimed (snapped)down at something on the ground. We were astonished! As we watched, the spheres continued to travel south and the beam stayed "locked" on whatever it was it was being aimed at. That is to say, the beam stayed "locked" on one position on the ground as the spheres continued to move away.

We could see it (the light) changing angle and broadening as they (the spheres) got further away. It (the light)then snapped off as fast as it had came on. Within 2 minutes, they had passed below the horizon/tree line to our south and we lost sight of them.

Then all hell broke loose. 2 F-4 Phantom fighters came screaming in from the Gulf of Mexico just to the south of us and we heard a double sonic boom. The following few days had various reports in the St.

Pete Times about jets going after an unidentified "small aircraft", people seeing strange lights in the sky along the coast and the windows in a Grants Department Store in New Port Richey, Florida had its front windows blown out by the sonic booms. My friend called Macdill AFB the next day, which is a TAC base and asked about the goings on. He was told by a gentleman on the phone that the jets came from Tyndall AFB in Panama City.

When asked why from so far away when we had the same jets at Macdill, his reply was something to the effect of: "We just wanted to get there the fastest, with the mostest." He gave no further help. These booms also caused a crack in my friends ceiling that remains to this day.

I've searched the St. Pete Times archives and can find nothing about the windows being blown out, or the sightings up and down the west coast that night, but I distinctly remember these events and the "shaken" locals of my (then) small seaside town.

Slow moving classic disc 50ft up Date is approximate(I chose this date as a very similiar report has this date) also actual city was West Hollywood which is a surrounding area of Fort Lauderdale. I was about 12 or 13 at the time. I was riding my bicycle up and down the street in our apartment complex, which was approx.

1/3 of a mile long. From the North end of the street a "classic flying saucer" came hovering over the tree line about 40 to 60 feet high. It was like right out of the movies, a metallic disc with colored lights rotating around it (I'm colorblind so sorry I can't tell you the colors).

Diameter was about 30 to 40 feet, 10 to 15 feet in height symetrical top and bottom. It made no noise. At the time I was not scared, but only interested and I followed it from one end of the street to the other.

I literally road my bicycle under it the entire length of the street (1/3 mile) which it strangely hovered directly over seeming to follow the road. I was easily able to keep pace with it so I estimate its speed at no more than 15 MPH. At the end of our street I stopped and watched it continue on at the same pace.

Because of its low altitude it disappeared from view before to long. At that time the Goodyear blimp was a regular sight in Lauderdale and TV/movies portrayed UFO exactly like this one; so even at that young age I was skeptical, thinking that this was to good to be true. I figured I would hear of a hoax or some explanation.

That never happened. Now as I've grown older I realize the importance and significance of such a "clear and close" sighting. I will try to send(email) more info(map and illustration), Thanx ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Full Report Text:

Classic "flying saucer" moving low and slow through condos in gated Ft. Lauderdale prestige golf community. I lived on the 6th floor of a condominium in a gated, private golf community.

It had a balcony that faced (what I remember may be) Commercial Blvd. in Ft. Lauderdale.

I had gone out on the balconey (as was my habit) to watch a boyfriend drive out of the complex on his way home in the early morning hours. It was a beautiful and clear night. As I hung over the balconey watching for the boyfriend's tail-lights (which he'd tap to say goodbye), I heard a very low, throbbing sound to the back and right side of the building.

I had a good view of the space between the condos nearest me and I peered around the corner. I saw a "craft", which I at first thought was some kind of advertising thing-- because lights were revolving around the mid-section slowly, like a marquee of some kind. It also was bathed from the top and bottom by soft red and green light-- I cannot remember at this time which color was at the top or at the bottom, red or green.

But those were the two colors. As it moved between the buildings, very, very, slowly, I saw it was, well, a saucer. An honest-to-God "flying saucer".

It was no more than 75 feet from me on the balcony. It was so close that I could see the "windows". It was dull, gray metallic looking and seamless.

It had a dome-shape on both top and underside. It was well-proportioned. It had "windows" or "ports" encircling the middle circumference that revolved slowly.

I could not see into these "windows" as the light seemed to be opaque. The "windows" were similar to, I guess, airliner windows; rounded at the corners, appearing to be slightly recessed. The light was not bright, but not glowing, either, possibly a little bit "fuzzy".

They revolved slowly and clockwise. The red and green glow(s) at the top and the undersurface pulsed, but only slightly. The sound it made I have best described as a low "warbling" of two tones.

I couldn't take my eyes off it, of course. I was trying to believe what I was seeing. It continued over the grounds moving south, and the thing that freaks me out to this day is that it started to follow the exact same road my boyfriend was traveling on out of the complex.

It was pretty much right behind him. I thought, "He MUST be able to see this thing, it's right on his tail." This was BEFORE cell phones.

I lost sight of the road out after a few minutes and couldn't figure out if the craft had left the area over the road, but I think it did as it got closer to what I THINK was Commercial Blvd. At that point it quickly gained altitude, like pretty much straight up into the air. It didn't go up slowly, but just popped up like a balloon on a string you let go of, and then took off quickly southwest.

I called the Ft. Lauderdale police immediately and asked if anyone had reported a UFO in the area around Environ. They simply said, "no".

I didn't make a report, I just said thanks and figured I'd read something in the paper the next day. I didn't see anything reported, however. I told my boyfriend the next day and he said he wasn't looking up and behind him, and didn't notice any lights other than his on the road.

But, the craft didn't have "beams" shining down on anything, anyway. The road was fairly well-lit with those orang-y lights. He believed me.

I'm a sober, logical, well-educated and intelligent person, not very excitable, either. I took the experience in stride. I know I saw what looked like the classic "flying saucer", and that's as simple as it is.

I don't know if anyone else saw the same one I saw, but I can't believe I was the only person awake in a great big complex such as the one I lived in at the time. This sighting was smack dab in the middle of an extremely well-populated and popular area. It still makes me wonder why, if this was an extra-terrestrial craft, why it would chose to show itself so low to the ground and in a place where it could expect to be seen clearly if anyone looked out a window or was walking a dog.

I've told other people in a matter-of-fact way exactly what I saw. I never thought to find a website like this to report to until I finally got mad at the zillionith TV program about UFOs STILL with no explanation about similar sightings and went out to find a place to report my experience to add to all the others. I'd like an explanation for what I saw, please.

Stealth craft at night 2/19/2009 I have been working the graveyard shift for a couple of months and have been listening to the Coast to Coast Radio Network with George Noory and other hosts. On one of the recent shows they had a guest and were talking about unidentified flying craft using stealth or camouflaging technology to imitate star patterns and such. I think what I witnessed may be similar to this.

I wish I could be more specific in the date but it was some time ago and only hearing the show caused this recollection. It was during the summer months in central Connecticut between 1975 and 1978 as best as I can remember between 10:00 p.m.

and 1:00 a.m. I was with a bunch of friends at local gathering place, away from city lights out in the country.

We were just hanging out as we did on many summer nights. For some reason I looked up at the night sky at the stars, which were exceptionally bright, as there was no moon and no clouds. I was just gazing at the different constellations when I noticed something out of the ordinary.

A sizeable section of the sky was blacked out. Then I realized this section of black out was moving if I remember right in an east to west direction. I don’t recall if there was a noticeable shape to it, but you could see the stars disappearing behind it the reappearing as it passed.

This did not have a false star pattern as some that were mentioned on the show just darkness. The only reason I saw it was due to the motion. If it were sitting still you would not have seen anything.

I’m not sure of the altitude with nothing to reference it to, but my gut feeling is that it was quite high not quite Airliner high but much higher than small Airplanes fly. It did not do any sudden or erratic moves just cruised across the sky. With out being sure of the altitude it would be hard to say how fast.

Again my gut feeling was that this thing was big if it was as high as an Airliner it was really big and moving faster than an Airliner. And I did not hear any noise no jet sounds, no helicopter sounds, or visible contrail. I am very familiar with what Airplanes, Helicopters and Blimps look like and sound like this was not any of those things.

I do not know what it was. I don’t know if this information is helpful or not, maybe it will correlate with something else that happened during that time. All I know is what I saw or didn’t see in this case.

Large disc shaped with light panels around the edge of this disc This event occurred during the summer of 1976. I was vacationing in Orlando, staying at my grandparent house. I had set up a tent in the backyard next to the pool and was next to the tent drying off after the last swim of the day.

when all of a sudden, I noticed a large disc shaped saucer approx 50 ft above my grandparents neighbor's house. There were light panels (I don't remember the colors) around the edge of this saucer. There was no viewing bubble.

or window on top of this disc.you know, what flying saucers are normally described as.but as the disc just seemed to float there.

I felt no fear.just curosity. I walked through the house and into the front yard.

and then noted that the disc seemed to jump in the sky to the left.and then head south in another leap.out of sight and in an instant.

This viewing has always made me curious of what is truly out there.People have dismissed it as an angel or someother type of supernatural being.But I have always been curious.

A few days after de bicentennial. Escribiré en español para ser más exacto. Aproximadamente a las 19:00 hrs.

entre los dias 18 al 22 de agosto de 1976, me encontraba en la alberca de un motel de Kissimme, Fla. cuando mi hermana y yo de 8 y 10 años respectivamente observamos con mucha claridad una nave espacial redonda. Nos pareció sorprendente pues parecía salida de la película Encuentros Cercanos del Tercer Tipo, de Spielberg.

Al momento, salimos a llamar a nuestros abuelos y ellos al verlo empezaron a gritar "UFO" y salieron varios huespedes del hotel. Regresamos a la alberca y en una fracción de segundo la nave desapareció. Me gustaría saber si en sus registros o en la hemeroteca de la ciudad existe evidencia de este acontecimiento, pues cada vez que lo cuento piensan que estoy loco.

((NUFORC Note: Date of sighting is approximate. However, if it occurred "a few days after the Bicentennial," as the witness indicates, the date probably was in July 1976, not September. We have amended the date here to July 1976.

However, there is one other sighting report in the NUFORC database for September 1976. Please see the report for Septebmer 01, 1976, from Lighthouse Point, FL. PD)).

A friend and I were walking to the back of Place 436 apts.which at that time were bordered by woods. At about 10 pm we noticed a glowing light coming from between the trees so we started walking toward the edge of the woods for a closer look.

We assumed that the woods had caught fire again as they had the previous year, but then we saw a 30 to 40 ft dia fireball hover out of the trees and hang there just above the tree line. It stay there for what seemed like 5 minutes, it was very bright, flames seemed to lap all around it like a burning tennis ball, then slowly decended back into the trees,it remained out of sight for at least 3-4 min then hovered back up again. It stayed there for another 5 min or so then slowly started rising until it looked like a star.

We ran back to my apt to tell my sisters who were having a sleep over but no one beleived us. I was only 11 at the time but It's still just as vivid today. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect that this may be a hoaxed report, but we are not certain.

Approx 200 feet in the air about 50 feet in diameter maybe larger. Looked like swirling lava - but stationary My mother and brother were on Cltde Morris boulevard in Daytona beach Florida and I A(age 8) got everyones attention. we gazed at it for several minutes and dismissed it too easily.

It happened but for some reason it was not compellin enough at the time to converse about it. The size was (adjust for age) about 100 feet away and looked to be about 200 feet in the air. It was orange and looked just like a stationary fireball - like a close sun almost.

It just hoovered there not making a sound. ((NUFORC Note: Date may be approximate. Witness elects to remain anonymous.

Upclose saucer experience At night on golfcourse with my girlfriend. We heard a hum and when we looked up it came right over a big oak tree, right over our heads. It was very close.

I continued in a straight line until it was out of sight. It was an unbelievable experience. There was a number of sightings called into the radio station that same night which is the only thing that saved our face among friends.

We have no pictures. I am now able to come forth and I want to get this info out as much as possible. It was so close that there is not doubt what we saw.

I am now 50 years old and in the medical profession. My risk of family, friends and job did not allow me to come forward in an aggressive manner before. I feel that this information needs to be known.

I have reported this to Mufon.

photo 1: NUFORC Evidence, a report from someone else who saw a similar craft in the correct vicinity and timeframe of my encounter, 1976 photo 2: my artistic composite of the craft over our home, 2022 photo 3: current photo of actual house where the encounter took place, Google Earth Pro 01/2023 Early summer 1976 @ 4yrs old, I was taken by beings from my bedroom where I was sleeping in Jacksonville, FL. The craft was over our home, I was taken into their craft, where I met many other children who did not appear to be quite human, as well adult beings. The beings communicated with me directly into my little mind, telling me who they were, what our relationship was, and other information I would be willing to report to an investigator.

I can describe the room I was in, as well as the beings, to an investigator who can include it in their official report. I was returned to my bedroom, and immediately I ran to the living room and watched my parents, family, friends & neighbors stand in the driveway, watching craft hover above our home. The neighborhood went suddenly dark, and the encounter was over.

The craft was gone. Craft: One craft, silver-ish/metallic, disc-like, rotating lights, changing multi-colored lights from one color to next, along edge of the craft. Slight bulbous area at the apex of the craft.

White misty light from the bottom center of the craft, appearance that light mist is emanating from within. There are two additional witnesses who can attest to the craft and some of the events that I have reported above. I am in contact with both witnesses.

Photo 2, my composite art, is from several Remote Views of the craft above our home that I have performed in the last two years, 2021-2023. This is my official testimony of early childhood Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) contact, or of being the subject of a human-conspired advanced-tech psychowarfare experiment.

Rotating Saucer Shaped Object with Multicolored Lights Flying Over Jacksonville I have debated whether I should share this story or not, but this has bothered me for almost 31 years. Although time has faded my memory of the exact date and time of this event. I will attempt to re-account my sighting.

I was around 7 years old at them and it was in the evening perhaps in the spring/summer of 1976 and my parents, younger brother and I had stopped by a local McDonalds for a bite to eat. We were eating inside our car in the parking lot when both my brother and I noticed a low flying rotating object flying over a strip mall across the street. My parents dismissed it as an airplane or helicopter or something rationale, since Cecil Field was very close to this area, but my brother and I were just fixated on this object! The object was maybe 400-600 ft.

up in the air as it flew over this strip mall moving from left to right in our field of vision. The object was circular with multicolored lights (red, green, blue, etc.) around its edges, it rotated like a carousel with a slight tilt to the right and angled facing us so you could see it was circular.

I could see all the individual lights and the object itself rotating clockwise. The object also had a single light on the top that illuminated a little bit of the surface around it. We did not hear any noise that would suggest an airplane, helicopter or blimp.

We eventually lost sight of this object, but I was left very shaken and the event has remained etched in my mind ever since. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

I was on board Coast Guard Cutter Acushnet WMEC 176 when we encountered loss of electronic power while towing a electronic surveillance buoy. A sudden fog bank arose out of nowhere, and the tow line went limp. We then observed said object on our stern at @ 220 degrees to bow.

It didn't leave until a Navy fighter appeared. It accelerated at incredible speed. The ships log was taken, and we were told that "Nothing has happened, and that's an order".
