USO sighting near Azores following USS Scorpion sinking.
May 23, 1968: Atlantic Ocean near the Azores at 9:00 p.m. The crew of the attack transport USS Monrovia of the US Navy’s Sixth Fleet observes a large submerged object, on the starboard side just aft of the stern, in the Atlantic Ocean near the Azores. It is an elongated, translucent ovoid, glowing with a pulsing orange color. As it continues to pace the ship, the compass, radio, and radar systems fail.

After 90 minutes, the object’s light fades and it vanishes and the ship’s equipment begins working again.
