Brian Vike's Favorite Cases.
Vike, being a retired art teacher, living in
western Ohio, I am far removed from the events on the Bay of Biscay in 1970.
Yet the feelings I acquired then seem like
they started yesterday.
The illustration comes very close to what
appeared to me. Thank you.
Bay of Biscay Experience 1970
Amidships on a Destroyer there is low, flat,
open space. The picture below shows, from an archive photo, the USS Dyess
(DD-880). It was aboard this small craft that an incident occurred which will
haunt me for the rest of my life.
From the front (bow), going toward the rear,
there are two gun turrets. Behind those is a big complex of two towers, called
the superstructure.
Immediately after that is a low, dark, sunken
area. On that night in July, 1970, I sat alone above it on a set of steps, so
that I was looking forward in the direction of the superstructure.
I couldn’t believe that I had this beautiful
scene all to myself. Billions of stars and a brilliant full moon illuminated
the calm, smooth ocean’s surface.
This setting was further enhanced by the
balmy temperature. The absence of my shipmates was, at first, no concern.
Soon, however, I was confronted with
something that would send me inside the nearest hatchway for cover.

The first sensation was that of being frozen
in time. I was relaxed, yet found I was unable to move.
Then there suddenly appeared on the deck
below me, about twenty feet away, a glowing, truly luminous cloud.
It was silent and its edges were yellow-green
wisps. Spherical in form and not solid, but gaseous, it swirled inside as it
hovered above the steel-plated deck. In my dreamlike state I lost track of the
minutes.
The neon blue-green apparition had
materialized in an instant, but then began slowly to transform, and darken, as
it shrank down from twelve feet in diameter. While doing so, its
semi-transparent nature thickened and the edges became well-defined.
Any haziness was replaced by a strange
figure, human in size. The deep cyan vision had a full body, head, arms, legs,
hands and feet, while it began to dance about joyfully. A performance that
seems like it was yesterday, I recall it with trepidation now, forty-two years
later.
What began without warning vanished just as
quickly, leaving me alone and mystified.

it appeared.
Although reconstructed more than four decades
after the event, to me this is of no concern, because the memory is as fresh as
last night.
Although I did move inside after experiencing
this, it was not due to fear.
Actually, the contact gave me a feeling of
comfort and knowing.
