Below is the case that I mentioned, the Seattle incident.

There are others here worth reading (in this thread)

To: Jonah Hex
Coast Guard helped investigate the incident with a subsequent
bording of the Russian "fishing" vessel. Vessel was believed to be
tracking submarine acoustics in the straight of Juan de Fuca as the
Russians have done for years "covertly" mapping our sub sounds.

Anyway the helicopter incident was '97 or '98 and a couple RCMPs
were aboard the helicopter with the USNA pilot. After looking at all
the facts and superficially looking aboard the vessel for a super
Russian laser gun designed to take out pilot retinas, it was decided
that the Russians probably were using a laser distance finder to see
exactly how close the helicopter was approaching their vessel.

That was the story in a nutshell as far as can be declassified for the
perpetuation of conspiracy theories. Now the super laser gun is
being used against Delta pilots... too bad the Russians didn't use
their killer weapon against the terrorists in Chechnya.

Will we ever be free of clinton? and the results of his actions?


++I think it was Bill Gertz who discovered that Clinton's State Dept.
tipped of the freighter that they were going to be invested giving
them time to hide anything incriminating.
A Candian pilot was also injured.++

Book Excerpt
Clinton wouldn't back Navy officer after laser attack
- ----
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
- ----
The phone rang in the middle of the night at the Canadian home of U.S. Navy Lt. Jack Daly.
"The Kapitan Man is inbound about to enter the strait," the watch officer told Lt. Daly over the phone from the joint intelligence center at Canada's military base near Esquimault, on Vancouver Island.

The Kapitan Man for years had masqueraded as a merchant vessel butactually was one of two Russian spy ships that tracked nine U.S. nuclear submarines based nearby in Bangor, Wash.

Now the Kapitan Man was at the mouth of the 100-mile Juan de Fuca Strait, heading into Puget Sound.

Lt. Daly's orders: secretly photograph it from above with a digital camera as part of the crew of a Canadian helicopter. It was 3:30 a.m. April 4, 1997. The mission would change Lt. Daly's life -- and his opinion of the U.S. government and the Navy he loved.

He showered, grabbed his flight suit and headed for the base as reports on the Kapitan Man's movements continued to flow from the Coast Guard. Lt. Daly sat in a jump seat on the port side of the CH-124 helicopter, hooked up to a safety line, as the aircraft took off about noon and flew
southeast from Victoria International Airport. "We've got an outbound boomer on the surface," Capt. Pat Barnes, the
pilot, announced as they reached the water.(snip)

My guess is the flight crew was playing with some sort of laser device, maybe for the handgun one of the carries, and accidentally got it in the eye of the other crew member. I would much rather write a report that I had been blinded by a laser from an unknown ground source than have to admit I was practicing my fast draw and the laser went off!

I do, but I cant say anything about it. Company rules.

No, because this isn't the only incident in the past week or so. I can't go into detail because it's info I get at work and can't be disseminated to the public. It's not classified but restricted.

All I can say is tihs isn't the only incident recently.

Or have a guy on each end of the dumpster to move it around so the bass's turd lands on the corner of the dumpster. That's GOTTA HURT!!!

That's interesting! My son is a deputy sheriff in a Florida county and he frequently gets info that can't be shared with the public, so I know a lot of valid info is available but can't really be attributed to a reliable source. Thanks for the info!
