Strange phone call...

a reply to: 5StarOracle

Do you believe everything you see and hear?

Wut? Ok, no idea what your response means. It is hugely ironic in the context of this thread though.

a reply to: Jonjonj

I'm just saying that I was told this story was being covered up and was being reported as a sunken ship...
But was told it was recovered intact floating on the water...
That little clip on CNN did nothing to prove otherwise to me...

a reply to: 5StarOracle

Then what you have here is a mix of both stories being told to you by your informant, right? It all adds up:

One ship recovered in the Caribbean, floating.

One ship found sunken off the California coast.

The thing is, your source said the name of the ship in the Bermuda triangle was called Costenoga. That was the name of the ship that was found off California.

Add to that the vortex and the cover-up and what we have is an urban myth, right?

I also found this article, about the Cuban "discovery". They are saying it didn't happen. Not new there, we already know what NWRD is like.

False: Bermuda Triangle ship found

a reply to: JonjonjThanks, kinda figured it was going this way too.

The Cotopaxi shouldn't be considered a mysterious disappearance to begin with, and it was not found by the Cuban coast guard.
The ship radioed a distress call that they were taking on water and listing, then never heard from again. In other words, it sunk.
No survivors found? Not surprising in maritime accidents of that era.

didn't the COTOPAXI show up in the desert in 'close encounters of the third kind'?

a reply to: Jonjonj

I don't recall him saying where it was found only that he said floating on the ocean...
He did say it disappeared in the Bermuda triangle...
But that does not fit the story portrayed for the Conestoga...
I know he didn't say the Cotopaxi...
That story is from 2015 although I don't remember ever hearing about it...
This story is from days ago...

OP...
Can I ask you WHY your friend told you about this?...What context his telling you was in?...and What he hoped you'd do with the information?

Because it was a short conversation and couldn't recall it from memory...
The USS Constoga? Something like that...

It can't be the Conestoga that your friend was talking about, as you said in this post on Page 2. The Conestoga disappeared in the wrong ocean.

Maybe he was spinning a yarn about the USS Cyclops, which disappeared somewhere between Barbados and Baltimore in 1918. The Cyclops is believed to have sunk due to being overloaded with manganese ore. The reason it stopped in Barbados in the first place was because it was so heavy and draughting so low that it would occasionally take on water -- so the idea that it sunk due to being overloaded is a very plausible one.

And, no...There are no reports that the Cyclops has been found.

That's not the name he gave me...
Are you telling me another 90 year old missing ship has been found?

If your reply was meant for me, then no -- The USS Cyclops has not been found.

However, that may not stop someone from making up a fiction story about the Cyclops being found in the Bermuda Triangle, especially in light of the fact that the USS Conestoga has been found (albeit that ship was lost in the Pacific and found in the Pacific).

a reply to: 5StarOracle
Your not-friend in the military didnt realize that the Bermuda triangle is in the wrong ocean to have been the Conestoga? It sounds like he took two different stories and combined them haphazardly.

I hope he is not in Military Intelligence. I would be frightened even if he were just a Reservist.

a reply to: SargonThrall

Hes like 60 years old retired high ranking military he does not make things up...
I already mentioned he was...

You say He's a close friend but you do not have his phone number or no way to contact him?
And you say your friend says have fun with it? I think your friend either punked you or you are trying to punk ATS?

Which is it?

There are too many holes in this story. What was you thinking even bringing this to ATS?

Where was a good friend mentioned?
