So long Captain Quinn. You were a beloved character and even though they suggest Hynek's going to find you, there's a possibility that it will never happen. Thing is, the so called 'UFO invasion' happened during the NATO manoeuvres to scare Soviets by show 'a biggest show of force since the War.' And with the war, they didn't mean the Korean One was in full gear at 1954.
They really had three carriers and escorts out there showing muscles, when the UFO appeared. For years, like the Korean captain said, the sailors has seen things. Lights, ghost ships, things emerging from the sea and flying to sky. One of the sailors told the investigators that he saw a white ping-pong ball.
Something like this
Which is kind of curious, because a friend of mine saw similar kind of object just floating over an hour at London sky. And there were other witnesses too, who saw the same thing. And when I show them the video, they agreed that it was the thing. "The same thing, except it wasn't moving."
So, just like it was the case in the Exercise Mainbrace, there were several witnesses. The curious thing is that they could have proven the case by simply looking at the records and comparing the notes from fired rounds. The admiral could not have said anything. Not when the real ammo was used, and couldn't be explained clearly. But that's the thing about the secrecy, the Pentagon had obviously instructed him to keep quiet, because who knows the Soviets might have done some magic.
I cannot believe that time and again the secrecy threatens the survivability of the humanity. You look at the Covid-19 and you start to see similarities and consequences, because of the taboo. Nobody trust the Chinese numbers, or that orange haired mop at the Oval Office. If you do, you are a fool. It's just you have to apply same analogue to the UFO cases.
We don't know for sure that it's the aliens, because of the secrecy, but we certainly do know that something far more advanced than us is visiting us, and in some cases it's not the same people. The evidence and the witness testimonies speak about multiple species. But so do the history. In fact, if you take in the history and remove everything that you were thought in the school you directly enter into the realm of unknown. To things that cannot be explained by mainstream methods.
You have to believe, just like you do in the case of the God. There's no other way.
I know it's a big step to some people, and if we are to believe through the recent evidence, it is not a gigantic leap to come out and let us know that the textbooks has to be rewritten and people have to adapt their minds to accept that the reality is stranger than they knew. Not everything can be explained by hard science, because we don't even have the branches of science that could explain things. We just know that something they work without really understanding what's behind it.
Flick a switch and lights come on, kind of thing. But that's exactly what happened to Captain Quinn. He encountered the lights in the sky and they delivered him a message that he never told to anyone. Not even to Hynek, because there was no time. No right moment. Not before he hijacked a minisubmarine and went to see the lights at the bottom of the sea.
He had to believe and find a proof to everything. He wanted to explain things and find out if in fact the visitors were a threat to them. You look at that Korean Captain, he told the PBB that boys left and he stayed with the ship. The Triangle Craft transferred them from East China Sea to North Sea and blanketed their minds.
It is a cruel thing that I wrote about in the third book. Memories are a personal thing. The most sensitive material that one can posses, because you only have one life and no reruns. The Alternative Carbon sleeving system isn't here, even if we are living in the future. It just doesn't work that way. Still we can learn from that story the exact same thing. The memories of the past lives are the most precious thing to Kovacs and to all people who live in that universe.
Yet, they take them away with a snap of fingers. Funny thing is that is exactly the same thing Admiral ordered him men to do. To forget about it as if it never happened. The sailors are however, and has always been funny people. They are suspicious and don't want to do those sort of things. Although what happens at the sea, sometimes stay at the sea. Then it takes years, decades before the stuff comes up.
All we know that it happens. There's something down there and it certainly isn't ours.
What is interesting is that they are once again taking the show back to Antartica and in this time, if the History grants third season, Hynek's going to investigate the mother of all pots, the mysteries of the icy continent. I, personally, am fascinated by that place and some of things that has come up being there. In fact, I'm kind of writing at the moment a space mystery that leads to same place.
