Defending a captured CV I spotted a train in the Baltic Sea. Had no time to investigate. After Whels and I killed each other HO, I went back in an Arado to hunt it up. Couldn't find it.

Defending V38 we lost ack and the hangar, so I came up A12 in an La7 and hauled butt back to 38 at ground level. As I came across the Narrows, I spotted a section of tents set up in the water. I went on to 38, killed all the planes, and rtb'd to A12. The tents were no longer visible on the return trip.

Must be All Hallows Eve, I've seen some strange things too. South of V38 I saw some smoke coming out of the water like a GV was hit. I dove to see a n1k1 underwater (it was blurry but i could see it sitting there). Instead of saying n1k1 it said "g-s" in the escription. I straffed it a couple times and got a kill (forgot the players name). I've come to the conclusion HTC has coded in the Bremuda Triangle between V10-A39-V38 on the Baltic map.

Did you guys see some missing Avengers there as well?    :eek:

Just kidding. I'll keep an eye peeled for those anamolies.

Edit: Oh, BTW Sunking, I have seen that 'G-S' quirk as well. I think that was back in the days of the flying pnzr bug.

If you classify this as a strange sighting, you've never accidently walked into a room where fatty was changing sob's depends.

I confirmed Moose's sightings. 10,10 1 is the loc of the "Bishmuda Triangle". My photos didn't come out (didn't remap the screenshot key after a registry dump, and didn't want to try at 500 mph NOE shooting the straits between two enemy CV groups.
Moose's photos will reveal the true nature of the mystery.
All I can ask is, what are they smoking, and can I have some?

Watch out boys!! Nessie shoots back !!  :D

Voss, at the same time we were fighting over 38/39 area, one of our bomber pilots reported seeing something strange in the water about 25 miles north. He evidently dove down to see what it was, and it opened up on him with a hailstorm of AAA.

He reported that it looked like a train that was skimming over the water.

ITS NESSIE I TELL YOU , ITS NESSIE !!!  :)
