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

Yup.

But it wasn't in the original theatrical release. First appeared in the "Special Edition". And in most of the subsequent cuts thereafter.

A mashup of that awful movie Final Countdown?

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

If he didn't make it up, then you need to ask him a little more pointedly what the heck he is talking about, because what you have relayed to us so far has been very cryptic -- and frankly quite meaningless and goes nowhere without any corroboration. I mean, he may as well have just made it all up.

As I mentioned before, the fact that you originally said he mentioned the ship's name as being the USS Conestoga, it sounds as if he was confused, since that's the ship lost and found in California, not the Caribbean. If he was talking about a different 95-ish year old lost ship that was recently found, I'd say it was quite a coincidence that there even WOULD be another ship (although there are no reports of another).

Frankly, it sounds to me like a story made up by someone trying to capitalize on the discovery of the USS Conestoga off the coast of California -- but the story-teller got all tripped-up by a confusion over geography.

I once dove on a wreak in the Bahamas that matched the description of the Cotopaxi. It was a tramp steamer with a cargo for coal. One of Stuart Cove's captains described this the remains as the missing Cotopaxi That went down in a late season storm about 1925. The wreak was in rough shape but we did pick coal on the bottom.
Stuart has a great bunch of pirates working his boats, so a few tall tales of the sea are normal to keep the tourists entertained.

Just a thought...if a ship were to leave in a vortex 90 years ago and go into some other dimension, is it a requirement that it return in the same location?

That said, this story sounds like the friend that can drink more than Andre the Giant had a few too many.

Ever play the game called elephant?
You know the one where you sit in a circle someone starts the game off by whispering in someone's ear and the message is passed on in like fashion...
When I made this thread I referred to someone I trust...the word friend was never used by me...
I do not recall saying anything about drinking more than Andre the Giant either...
I'm not making anything up... fairly certain he did not either... but I can't say the same for others here...
Unfortunately I am unable to "view" any relevant information on this subject to add to it or shine a light to the truth of the cover up...
I'm sure it is a fascinating subject perhaps in the future more will be revealed by another...

I know he like fine cigars and could probably drink almost as much as Andre the Giant if he was still alive...
However I have no means of contacting him...
Although I am of some use to him...
I would be a tremendous pain in his ass if I did...

You're right about not saying "friend", but you definitely did mention "drinking" and "Andre the Giant".

Do you not remember, or are you being seriously pedantic because the poster said "more than" instead of "almost as much as"?

I think this gent you trust may be pulling an early April Fools joke on you.

George Van Tassel used to speak about the triangle, and other areas on the globe with similar issues. There is likely some kind of break in space time that causes this anomaly that happens only at certain times when the electrical and magnetic nature of the universe happens to cause it to happen.
There have been many reports of pilots getting to their destinations many hours sooner than was possible for their given speed and distance to their destination, when going through the Bermuda Triangle. (As well as disappearing never to be seen again.)

In light of this, I don't think anything reported about the triangle is too far fetched. Anything is possible.

a reply to: NoCorruptionAllowed

He was on about the ruins and pyramids beneath the triangle...
I've heard about this but I do not know if it is real or not...
There is a real energy there though...
because I can't "view" this location...

95 year old story? This would have been in, oh, 1921 or so then?

Jets were invented in 1939.

Radar was invented in 1935.

Try again. Thanks for playing.
