Fear in the Face of the Unknown

A helicopter pilot experienced an extraordinary event while conducting missile recovery operations in the Caribbean. As the mission proceeded, a massive, dark, circular object, described as 'black as a devil' and resembling the size of a small island, emerged from the ocean, creating a whirlpool effect. This sight terrified the frogman descending from the helicopter, who attempted to escape the situation in a state of panic. Moments before the object surfaced completely, it unexpectedly pulled the missile beneath the water, vanishing without a trace. This incident highlights the unpredictability of encounters with unidentified phenomena and the intense fear they can instill in trained personnel.
