USS JFK orb in Caribbean Sea (Grok rendering)
Shellenberger: "Yeoman Third Class James M. Kopf is on the USS JFK
in the Caribbean Sea completing a readiness exercise when
communications messages begin coming in garbled. Radar, compass
and electrical systems stop working. The crew goes outside and sees
a large, pulsating orange sphere sitting silently above the ship for 20
minutes. Two days later, Capt. Ferdinand B. Koch tells the crew that
the events are to be considered classified"
