TMR UFO Report: June 1984 ->Soviet Merchant Ship UFO Sighting & US NAVY UFO ENCOUNTER 1989

UFO Locations: Soviet Tanker in the Mediterranean Sea, 20 miles East of The Straits of Gibraltar. The US Navy carrier USS Midway was in the Sea of Oman

September 14, 2022

I've been reviewing my old UFO case files and came across the very first article that I ever published for UFO Digest with the founder, Dirk Vander Ploeg, back in 2004.

Here's a copy:

Soviet Merchant Ship UFO Sighting:

"The following is the UFO Report of Alexander G. Globa, a Russian sailor and engineer, who observed a UFO over the Mediterranean Sea at close quarters through binoculars in June 1984.

This report was included in a declassified “CIA UFO File on Soviet UFO Sightings.” It was also included in “Water UFOs.” It is considered by many to be one of the best reports of the internal structure of a UFO ever recorded.  From the files and editorial notes of Robert Morningstar

Soviet Merchant Ship UFO Sighting:

• Date: June 1984
• Location: Mediterranean Sea, 20 miles East of The Straits of Gibraltar.
• Testimony: Alexander G. Globa, a seaman from GORI, a Soviet tanker
• Published: Zagadki Sfinksa magazine (Issue # 3, 1992) Odessa

The Soviet Tanker GORI Had a Close UFO Encounter near Gibraltar in June 1984

In June 1984, the Soviet tanker Gori was in the Mediterranean, twenty nautical miles from the Straits of Gibraltar. At 16:00, Alexander G. Globa was on duty, manning the watch. With him was Second-in-Command S. Bolotov. 

They were standing watch at the left bridge extension wing when both men observed a strange polychromatic object. 

When the object was astern, it stopped suddenly. S. Bolotov was agog, shaking his binoculars and shouting: 

"It is a flying saucer, a real saucer, my God, hurry, hurry, look!" Globa looked through his own binoculars and saw, at a distance over the stern, a flattened out looking object which did remind him of an upside-down frying pan. 

The UFO was gleaming with a grayish metallic sheen. The lower portion of the craft had a precise round shape, its diameter no more than twenty meters.

Around the lower portion of the object Globa also observed "waves of protuberances" on the outside plating.

The base of the object's body consisted of two semi-discs, the smaller being on top; they slowly revolved in opposing directions. 

At the circumference of the lower disc Globa saw numerous shining, bright, bead-like lights. 

The seaman's attention was centered on the bottom portion of the UFO.

It looked as if it was completely even and smooth, its color that of a yolk, and in the middle of it Globa discerned a round, nucleus-like stain. 

Editor's Note: 

The "yolk" color inside the bottom is obviously that yellow glow or amber light so often described by witnesses.

This observation took place during the day.

At the edge of the UFO's bottom, which was easily visible, was something that looked like a pipe. 

It glowed with an unnaturally bright rosy color, like a neon lamp. 

The top of the middle disc was crowned by a triangular-shaped something. It seemed that it moved in the same direction as the lower disc, but at a much slower pace.

Suddenly the UFO jumped up several times, as if moved by an invisible wave. 

Many lights illuminated its bottom portion.

The crew of GORI tried to attract the object's attention using a signal projector. 

By that time Captain Sokolovky was on the deck with his men. He and his Second-in-Command were watching the object intensely.

However, the UFO's attention was distracted by another ship, approaching at the port side. It was an Arab dry cargo ship on its way to Greece. The Arabs confirmed that the object had hovered over their ship. 

A minute and a half later the object changed its flight's trajectory, listed to the right, gained speed and ascended rapidly.

The Soviet seamen observed that when it rose through the clouds, appearing and disappearing again, it would occasionally shine in the sun's rays. The craft then flared up, like a spark, and was gone instantly.
