helicopters had to remain on deck lest they could
be damaged by the strong whirlwind that was blowing over the
water.
    When the triangular aircraft was about to
rise from the depth of the ocean, the cyclone disappeared for some
minutes. A search for the bodies of the fishermen and wreckages
from their ships was started immediately. USS Stockdale had to move
closer to help in this operation. The rescuers were joined by teams
from the US Coastguards and Marines. Dozens of civilians also
thronged the coast to help the police pick up the ship wreckages
that were being washed ashore by the tides.
    Another team of frogmen who were also
attached to the US Coastguards dived into the ocean to find out
whether the said UFO was on the ocean floor. However, the divers
had only spent twenty seconds in the water when the ocean was
mysteriously driven back for a distance of quarter a mile. This
resulted into recession of the shoreline and the exposure of the
normally submerged parts of the ocean. The wreckages of the ships
that had been scattered on the exposed shoreline attracted the
policemen and civilians to move forwards from the coast to pick
them.
    Ten seconds later, a strong wind mysteriously
forced its way out of the water body at once. It lifted all the
divers from beneath the water surface and threw them up in the air!
Stockdale quickly sensed danger and rushed away from the scene at a
fast speed of 35 knots! It only stopped after reaching two miles
away, where the water was still calm. The policemen and civilians
also tried to run back to the coast but failed. Before they could
reach the dry land, the ocean recoiled with redoubled force, in a
tsunami-like style. The smashing force of the wall of water that
travelled to the coast knocked them down. All of them drowned and
were carried away by the water as it returned to the ocean.
    The wind quickly turned into a whirlwind
which caused another cyclone to develop over the ocean. This
swirling wind started lifting a dome of water which turned into an
unusual waterspout. The waterspout kept on increasing in height but
was stationary in one place. The funnel of this vortex was blue in
color and was even visible from a distance two river miles away.
Its diameter was however large enough to cover the UFO which was
rising through it.
    The crew on Stockdale guessed right that the
aircraft was rising through the funnel and thus fired two harpoon
missiles into it. They had targeted the middle of the funnel where
a bulge was, but the two missiles exploded midway. A hot laser beam
produced by the aircraft cut through their skins which caused them
to explode and fall into the ocean before they could reach it. The
explosion of the missiles was followed by multiple failure in the
control and weapon systems of the destroyer, preventing it from
firing more missiles at the rising aircraft.
    The life span of the waterspout was
short-lived because as soon as the aircraft emerged out of its
funnel, it dissipated abruptly. Even the whirlwind that was blowing
over the ocean lost strength which caused the cyclone to disappear.
It was then that the destroyer regained control over its systems
and managed to move closer to help in the intensive search and
rescue mission that followed.
    The small aircraft ascended back into space
before the medium-sized aircraft. This was because the skeleton
warriors from Langley had to first swim the whole distance from the
river up to the Atlantic Ocean. Their hideout in the Atlantic Ocean
was however never found out by the US Military because it had
concentrated much of its efforts on the river. They thought that
the skeletons had stationed their second aircraft in the Potomac
River because it’s where the whirlwind from Langley had been seen
disappearing from.
    But unlike in the Pacific Ocean where the
skeletons had used a cyclone to shield themselves from human
interference, the water in the Atlantic Ocean remained calm even
when the aircraft was rising. There was
