Flying Dutchman.

This is coolbert:

Here is another one of those posts that you can place in the STRANGE, could it be TRUE category.

Similar to other posts that dealt with other strange observed phenomenon, such as the Foo Fighter or Noah’s Ark.

Phenomenon of an unusual or unworldly nature, observed by military personnel.

A lot of credence has to be placed on the observations of military personnel? Trained observers without an agenda! The veracity of such persons can be counted upon and has to be stressed!

In this case, the phenomenon is the Flying Dutchman. A spectral GHOST ship attempting to round the Cape of Good Hope, while sailing INTO the wind.

"According to folklore, the Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that can never go home, doomed to sail the oceans forever. The Flying Dutchman is usually spotted from afar, sometimes glowing with ghostly light."

Please, devoted reader, take this seriously. NO, really!

Last seen by German U-boats while patrolling southern waters in the vicinity of South Africa in World War Two?

No less personage than Admiral Doenitz claimed that his U-boat commanders HAD SEEN the Flying Dutchman.

"According to Admiral Karl Doenitz, U-Boat crews logged sightings of the Flying Dutchman, off the Cape Peninsula."

[or something that resembles a “ghost ship”. These TRAINED observers saw something??!!]

One such commander was the renowned U-boat commander Otto Kretchmer!!??

Kretchmer is now in his nineties and still alive!? If so, I wonder what he would have to say concerning this matter.

I am going to be in touch with KTB "Sharkhunters" [the magazine of the U-boat service] about this. I wonder what they have to say? Or if they can put me in contact with someone that knows further.

[a number of years ago, British “special operations” units, probably SAS, occupied reconnaissance “hide spots” in the vicinity of farm fields where “crop circles” had been found. In an effort to determine the origin of this mysterious phenomenon. I am not sure what the results were. Crop circles are a hoax in totality? These type of operations give troops good training with realism!! Again, you have a cadre of TRAINED observers whose testimony can be counted upon.]
