A guy from Ireland caught this catshark when I was walking the beach in Wales…we let it go, but it was bleeding a bit…hope it made it..

Could we see more of this?

Happy birthday you unsociable, no writing never calls me anymore while NOT wandering the confines of the DX airfield, non photo responsive doubting Thomas of a pint quaffing old sod of an Englishman….hope you have a good one!

Anything is possible, and I have seen those demos done whereby a large ship is swallowed up by the sea after losing buoyancy from bubbles from the sea floor allowing it to sink to a level where it begins to take on water and goes under…a good theory, but would’nt we be looking for those ships at the point where they dissappeared? An in our experience the parted water was MOVING right alongside our ship at the same speed…very hard to explain! However, I am a big believer in the unusual and supernatural, I find it makes things more interesting…am still waiting for the next great photo or video of Nessie!

When I was in the Coast Guard back in 1982 I was on a 180 foot long ship and we always joked baout going into the Bermuda Triangle (we were stationed in New London Conneceticut and we frequently sailed south towards the start of the triangle, we went to Bermuda 2wice)…one time in a light fog bank, we noticed beside our ship that the water was being parted like a ship was sailing alongside us, splitting the water and leaving a wake….it was witnessed by about 25 people by the time the incident was over, bridge crew, the Captain, the watch on the flying bridge, and those who just came up to see what was going on….we speculated that it could be a submarine periscope but could see nothing to support this, nor could it have been a whale or dolphin (they both surface then dive then surface again)….we all got up on the flying bridge (to deck of the ship) and looked through the ‘big eyes’ (huge pedestal mounted binoculars) but this did not help as all it showed was the water being split by SOMETHING, only MAGNIFIED….no clue as to what was doing it….finally, after about 20 minutes of this, whatever it was that was parallelling us started to slide off to our port side (we were headed south) and dissappeared into the light fog…..and we never found out what it was……

THANK YOU, JBoyle, for a very straightforward and rational explanation of these events with which I wholeheartedly agree….could’nt have said it better myself….won’t even get into the perceived bit of yank bashing that was starting to fester in a comment further up….Americans don’t control Hollywood, HOLLYWOOD controls Hollywood and unfortunately that means they do their own bit to slander history…I would love to see a list of films where Hollywood came close to the TRUTH or got it RIGHT…bet in these forums that list DOES”NT EXIST….and ‘Battle of Britain’ shines as a light for all movie producers to follow…
