My father goes fishing quite a bit... During the night mostly.
But tonight he came home with a VERY strange story... He was fishing and he saw a green light shoot up out of the water. He thought it was a flare, so he immediately called the Coast Gaurd from his
Cell Phone and notified them of what happened.
So the man on the other line said "Hmm... Thats odd... Green flares are ONLY used for military tactics... Typically when a submarine is submerging."
So they hang up, and my father gets a call back from the man... My dad said he had a panic sound to him. He told my dad that the Coast Gaurd, nor anyone else, had any information of a Submarine being anywhere near the Wrightsville beach area.
And the man told my dad to meet him back at the place where it happened.
So after they looked at where he was standing, they phoned in an order for three ships to head out there and investigate.
They thanked my father, and allowed him to leave.
He got home, told us... And he said he remembered how many Fighter Planes he had seen circling the area that night, and the during the day. I also interjected that at school (our school is right next to an air port) there were a LOT of fighter planes, and planes that I had never seen before, flying over.
He said that he also noticed it wasnt a flare... He said it shot up, and only decended about an 1/8 of its accent. With a green tail... Flares explode, this just kind of faded away.
Also, they said it sounded like it was about 2 miles out from shore... My dad says its only about 40-45 feet deep out there, not deep enough for a submarine to safely execute any kind of submerge.
So between the panic of the situation, and the strange occurance... I think I've got myself a very weird story.
Does this story ring a bell in anyones minds? Any of you have any idea what may have happened there tonight?
(My dad personally thinks that it was a Personal Missile Launcher shooting at some of the planes on tactics. Does this sound plausible to anyone?)
Thanks for the input... Im puzzled about this occurance.
