Secret US Navy Report of USO in Alaska

In this segment of the "Alaskan Triangle" covers the testimony of Dan Willis:
In 1969 I had a high level Top Secret crypto level 14 with ESM (Extra Sensitive Material) handling security clearance in the US Navy. I worked at the busiest military communication facility on the planet at the time, Naval Communications Station San Francisco on Rough & Ready Island. This was a highly secured facility in which colored electronic badges allowed you access into different compartments. At the time most of the communications to the ships at sea were via teletype. I was a certified high speed (25 WPM) code operator and was in charge of the code room for ship to shore communications. This primitive yet effective slower form of communication utilized code, as it was the only modality that could get the signal through adverse atmospheric conditions. While on watch monitoring several ship-to-shore channels simultaneously listening for traffic from the ships, I’ll never forget a most unusual message of the thousands of messages I received during the years I worked there. The message was an authenticated official PRIORITY level that was classified as SECRET. It was addressed to the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington DC (CNO was Admiral Moorer) and it came from a USNS ship which is a military support ship owned by the US Navy reporting its position off the coast of Alaska. As I am decoding the message I am reading that the crew visually witnessed off the port bow of the ship, emerging out of the ocean was a brightly glowing reddish orange elliptical unidentified object, approximately 70 feet in diameter. It emerged out of the ocean and immediately shot straight up into space. The object was tracked on ships radar to be traveling at an estimated 7,000 mph.
