COMMENTS:

This sighting was never entered into the ship's log. The ship (USS Shadwell) was not put into alert status. The object came abreast of the stern twice, dropping back to former position. The ship's radar did not scan the object. Witnesses were told they had seen an atmospheric anomaly, and to not talk about it. The UFO tracked the ship keeping off port stern. Sea was calm, visibility clear. The ship's photographer's photos were confiscated.
