UFO In The Pacific Ocean

During my stint in the Navy I was on an ammunition ship (USS
Kilauea) in the Indian Ocean somewhere near Vietnam around early
1974.

Myself and two friends were out on the Foxhull (bow of the
ship), it was dark, around 9 pm probably. There was little or no
moon but millions of stars like always out there. We were in a
group with a destroyer and a carrier, I think the USS Mason DD,
and maybe the Oriskany.

We were watching the Mason in front of us and the glowing trail
of ocean it was kicking up from the phosphorus algae in the
water when the ocean in front of us lit up, started glowing. It
got brighter and brighter and then this really bright
orange/yellow ball came out of the water on the right-starboard
side of the destroyer. It flew over the top of the destroyer and
went back in the ocean on the port side, with the same glowing
ocean water and then disappeared.

We all just stared at each other with our mouths open. We could
not believe what we saw, but I asked friends of mine who were on
watch on the bridge if they saw it and they all did. There was
nothing ever reported that I know of though and we just quit
talking about it. I bet the destroyer got a good look at it. It
went right over the bridge of that ship and it was big. Maybe
150 to 200 feet in diameter. That was my big encounter.

I was Stationed on USS Reeves (CG24) at the same place in late
1974. I had the 0000-0400 Sonar Watch. At about 0130, I picked
up a rather large blip (about the size between a carrier and a
cruiser) off our port side beam about 140 degrees relative at
2000 yards and drifting towards our baffles. I could only pick
up the contact with Active Sonar, nothing showed up with the
passive sonar. I reported the bearing and range to the Bridge
and to CIC. The Bridge Lookout saw a large glow in the water and
the Officer of the deck brought the ship around so I could
maintain contact. CIC could not pick it up initially on our
Radar, but as we got within 1,000 yard they had a blip, then
another, and another. All of a sudden I lost Sonar Contact like
it was never there, but CIC still had it at last bearing with an
abrupt positive altitude change. The chatter was look at the
size of that thing. I went outside through the sonar door on the
Port Side and visually saw a large moonlike shape that flew
upward over the ship at a 60 degree angle and disappeared into
the sky in seconds. I heard no noise from the object when it
went over us. I saw a full moon that night on the other side of
the ship, but it remained fairly constant give or take a few
ship rolls.

When we pulled into port a few weeks later, all records in the
Bridge, CIC, and Sonar logs about that time were torn out.
Whoever tore them out made one error, the pen imprint on the
next page was still there. No one spoke of the incident again.
