Engineer reports UFO moving out of Gulf of Mexico

An oval-shaped object about 1,200 feet long “rose up out of the water” to about 40 feet and then disappeared at an incredible rate of speed into the sky, according to reports from a chief engineer aboard an Offshore Supply Vessel March 21, 2017, 80 miles southeast of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico, who filed testimony with the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).

The sighting was reported to NUFORC on March 23, 2017. NUFORC Director Peter Davenport posted the sighting to his website at ufocenter.com and confirmed the sighting Friday evening with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Director of Communications Roger Marsh.

“I am a Chief Engineer on an Offshore Supply Vessel, and the events I am going to put forward are accurate, to the best of my knowledge,” the witness stated in his report. “Close to 7 p.m. on March 21st, just before dusk, myself and four of the crew members aboard our vessel saw a craft that appeared to be five times our 240-foot vessel in length. My line of sight was about one-quarter mile from our vessel. There was a rig behind the craft about a half-mile. I used this to help gauge the size of the craft. Sighting was approximately 80 miles southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana.

“The scene lasted about 40 seconds. The craft rose up out of the water (Gulf of Mexico) about 40 feet, with no water was dripping from the craft. Within a split second the craft disappeared at a 30-degree angle into the sky. Speed appeared to be faster than the speed of a light turning on in a room. Within seconds it had disappeared completely. I can say for sure that the craft was dark colored, oval in shape and made no sound whatsoever.”
​
Davenport then followed up with the witness by telephone.

Is'nt this the approximate location of the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill?
Just a thought

How can your line of site be 1/4 mile, then u say u used the rig a 1/2 behind the ufo to gauge the size

The ufo was less than a half mile away but more than a quarter mile. Learn to read carefully before you attempt to criticize.

I have proof. I live 15 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and see them constantly. I also have a good minute and a half of footage. One time it was white discs and other times it is a big balloon type UFO. Sometimes they are in groups and most recently there is one all alone I have been spotting and taking notes on. I have dates and times.

Is it anyone else's thought that this is obviously shocking but the fact that the Transocean Oil rig accident happened in this area!!!!!! I mean if it is ours was it checking out the environmental damage caused by the oil spill that leaked millions of gallons of crude oil? If it is not ours then who and were they surveying the same area for same reasons? Seems interesting and if anyone has a photo of this it'll be the most intriguing evidence that our government is hiding technology or we are being visited and surveyed by others not from this planet..!!!!

The deep water horizon was located in much deeper water than where this was seen. Im just wondering if any workers on any of the many rigs out there saw something.

I read this first report on an obscure news report. I wanted to brief the Chief Engineer to be strong as a an enormous wave of coverups is about to unfold on him and his crew. The aliens are here.

God made other beings before making us. More sophisticated, intelligent but they were told no contact with his favorite namely us. What makes the world think we're alone ? God said I will make these in my image ! Others were'nt made to look like us, talk like us, walk like us, come from our universe. Why do humans want to use the bible when it suits their purpose? Lightbulbs, spacemen, creatures that resemble humans with oblong heads have been found on pyramids.tools to build pyramids to exact measurements, oxygen could'nt go below in pyramids. And on and on. Explains these and others.

In talking about Ancient Aliens, one should be cognitive about biblical and ancient history. Allow me to postulate for a moment on the Egyptian burial chamber that contains glif's of Jets, helo's subs and light bulb. ALL 20th and 21st century creations. Why not 22nd- 23rd century, etc., etc.? Very shortly the rapture of the church is about to take place. This will be the immediate removal of millions of Christians. The Apostle Paul referred to Satan as the Prince and power of the Air. ufo's are nothing more than creations of Satan. Interstellar Travel by speed of Light and beyond is impossible due to Micro / miniature debris In Space. Interstellar Travel will only be possible by opening and closing singularities, or wormholes. Since the angels (both good and evil) are transdimensional Travel capable beings, how else do you think these ufo's dissapear so quickly. Let me say in closing, one in fifty people in the US. claim close encounters of the third Kind. The u.s. Secular Gov't with have to explain millions of people going missing instantaneously! what better way to explain it...... the missing were kidnapped by aliens?........we shall see.......

Believe it or not, these things are real and have been on and visiting planet earth far longer than we've been here. It is beyond ignorant to think otherwise, it is just plain arrogant.

Well guys, regardless of how you intercept the report details given by this man and his accounts of measuring distance, I believe him. Men that do this type of work, are very accurate in recording their surroundings especially when it comes to the working for Oil Industry. I think what he meant was that knowing the waters and location of some of the nearby rigs, he knew that one was a 1 mile or so behind him and he used that territory knowledge to measure the distance between his vessel and the craft.
Another note...this cannot be related to the Oil Disaster that TX and LA suffered a few years ago. One reason is simply because the eco has been tested already after the 1st year that followed, I'm a native TX and I live on the coast. They started in the same Gulf territory after the clean up was complete and chemical engineering along with petroleum etc finished testing and deemed it safe and clear of hazard.
Secondly, come on guys...we simply aren't advanced enough to craft a flying submarine!

Thanks for extra info. I agree, this is an interesting report that indictates the advanced tech and likely many unreported USO cases from Earth's vast oceans.

Even if the engineers estimate of the size was off by 50%, that still makes it a 600 ft long object that rose up out of the water and then left the area in the blink of an eye while making no sound. There were 4 witnesses to this event.

So that's definitely impressive.

Modern Oil rigs and vessels have CCTV all around. I am sure something would have been captured. Only thing that needed to done was to secure the footage.

After Davenport tried to talk with this man again asking about getting the ships video and to speak with others on the ship he declined and didn't want to talk anymore. It's just another crazy guy making a false ufo report.

In that if factual..like also that of biblical..
We wont know untill it happens..
And from what i read and see..weve yet to have been under attack..but perhaps were close..as Louisiana..was pretty. War of the worlds stuff..
So just in case..ive got my staff in hand .
Yet my understanding..are
Universally. We are all children of light..
That being said. We return to the light..
And if we understand frequency..and equal..its viberation..to the mast before us..we can travel through that mass..
If we understand..the crop circles and the
Messages..they teach us..to warp the time and space line..and travel within its dimension..and we can travel through..time and space..without the effects of gravity upon our bodies.
Now being its not rocket science..its way advanced than that..
And what ever we can imagine. We can do..because we are..gods children of light..
And bad or good..
These things we can learn.
I follow the instructions..the citcles tell us.alot...even if there not from. Aliens..
And the imagination of man comes from..
Somewhere..
So peace good will to then all your brothers and sisters..universally or at home..
Pleaiten. Or other wise..

Never liked science fiction, movies, books, any of it, till early 80s. Three of them in triangular formation early afternoon, I'm a believer. Can easily understand how you don't believe till you personally see. Government? They're too damn afraid over things they have no control. And can't tax!

What Always worries me about the people who Claim to have seen a UFO is; HOW do you know that they are NOT LYING, or just Making this up?

They have No Video or Photos of this Supposed UFO. So how do you Verify that they are telling the TRUTH?
