Robert, I understand about the Margeritas!! After what I saw I never
would even though I never did!
In 1982, out on Kodiak Island, driving into town from the Coast Guard
Station, on the road along the bay, I looked out in the distance to a
point across the bay and saw a HUGE - like several stories tall - pure
white structure standing there in the water on a point. I had never seen
that there before and it puzzled me that I just now noticed it. It
looked a bit like an egg standing on one end, big end down, little end
up, and supported on the big end by a three legged structure of some
sort. The three legs were sort of curved, appeared to extend outward and
down from a little ways up from the bottom end of the egg, and in that
configuration would support a considerable load. I kept looking at this
thing, and wondering what the heck it was that the Coast Guard had out
there in the distance. As I approached town it disappeared from view
behind rocks and trees along the road, but I determined to stop on the
road side on the way back in about 1/2 hour and get a better look, as I
had my field glasses in the trunk of the car.
Well, a half hour later when I got back clear of rocks and trees, where
I could see that point, that thing was gone. Totally vanished. I have
been totally mystified all these years by that event, and even though I
asked around about any Coast Guard activity out that way, I was assured
there was none.
Now I saw some strange sights in Alaska over the years but this one took
the cake.
For me, I still have a mystery.
Regards,
John Rodgers
