Somewhere in the Skies - Bite-Sized UFOs | USOs: The Triangles and the Oceans

Episode Date: April 17, 2025

Strange triangular-shaped objects leaving the water off the coast of Poland were recorded in 1957, 1959 and 1961. Another case from 1959 involved a mysterious object that fell or crashed into Gdynia Harbour. Then there's the incredible story of a humanoid found nearby, one taken to a hospital for examination. This and more as Graeme Rendall explores the enigmatic mystery of the triangles and the oceans.

Welcome to bite-sized UFOs, a show where we break down lesser-known UFO cases in 20 minutes or less. And now here's your host, Graham Rendell. I'm Graham Rendell, author of UFOs Before Roswell and several books about pilot and aircrew encounters with U.S. during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Anatomy of a phenomenon, the book by Jacques Valet, was first published in 1965.

This was to be the first of over a dozen books that he would write to date. On page 141 of the first edition, the following brief details of a case that happened in Poland in 1959 are included. In March of 1959, on the coast of Poland near Kolobreg, Polish soldiers saw the sea suddenly become agitated. A triangular object, each side measuring about four metres, came out of the water and started to fly in circles over the barracks, then sped away and vanished. A triangular object emerging from the water, then flying around an army barracks before speeding off? This sounded like a very interesting case. However, Valé did not give the source of information for this case. Nevertheless, details of the same incident appeared in another book published a year later.

Piece for a Jigsaw written by Leonard G. Kramm came out in 1966. The book was subtitled, UFOs, astounding scientific evidence in the Flying Sour Puzzle. Turning to page 129 of that book, there are further details of the Collabreg incident plus information about a previous case that happened just two years earlier, a couple of miles down the coast to the east, at a place called Cozzolin. From the salty waves of the Baltic come reports of these strange events. The first took place in 1957 at a place called Cozzolin when two mysterious objects were seen to emerge from the depths.

Then in April 1957 at Colobreg, Coast Guards and civilians saw the sea suddenly become agitated. Then the waves in a particular stretch of water swelled, and outshot a triangular object of four to five metres in size. It rose swiftly, encircling the locality, then finally rushed upwards, disappearing into space. Army units were rushed to the spot and made an exhaustive search of the brushwood on the seashore. The next day a team of divers did the same in the water. Cramp appears to have incorrectly stated the year of the Collabreg incident in his book, listing it as 1915. but what were Warsaw-packed troops doing searching a shoreline for a mysterious object that had come out of the water? Was it possible that these troops were looking for some type of technology that had been developed behind the iron curtain?

Or did they think that some sort of secret NATO surveillance platform was to blame for the reports? We'll return to Leonard Kramm's book for details of another case that happened in the same area in September 1961. But first, let's go and re-examine what happened at Collabrek. Pieto Sili Bias mentions Colobrek in his 2016 book UFOs over Poland. Two other characteristic cases from the forgotten years of Polish UFO history include the first sightings of a so-called flying triangle. One comes from Dr. Vallet's book, which claims that in 1959,

in the Colobreg area of Pomerania, on the Baltic Sea, Polish soldiers observed an object shaped like an isosceles triangle rising out of the water, rising and making a tremendous noise over the area before flying away. Its length was estimated at about 13 feet. The case is not included in any Polish sources. Sili Bias mentioned about a terrific noise. This wasn't in the information given by Valé in his earlier book. It also appeared that the information may not have come from a Polish source. A check of Valais' book doesn't show any source attributed to the information given about Colabreck. This is rather frustrating, as we can't trace the information back to its original source.

Sili B.S. mentioned another case that happened earlier in 1959. This one has been referred to by other people as Poland's Roswell. However, rather than debris been found in a remote location in Poland, This incident is supposed to have taken place in Gideenia docks. On January 21st, 1959, at about 6 a.m., dock workers in the port of Gdignia heard a piercing metallic sound, described by Jan Roxinski and Tadoz Mikasinski as a, clear, scraping sound, which sounded more like the friction of two metallic elements against each other. Jan Block, who worked on board the ship Yaroslovdabowski,

contacted the police and asked them to search for something that had allegedly fallen into the water of the heart. a basin. The thing went right over my head, he said. It was big and reddish with a wide but not too long glowing tail. Before I could step back, the weird thing disappeared into the water. Jan Kuchinsky, a forklift operator, said the object was about three feet long, semicircular in shape and pink, gradually turning red. Other descriptions include comparisons to a cone or even a burning barrel. The object fell into the fourth basin at Gdynia docks. Another forklift driver, Stanislaw Kolauzzii, stated that the object undoubtedly disturbed the water. There were many other people who saw the object in flight and their reports appeared in the newspaper Weeks of Wibersazza, evening coast.

Wollodzimiers and Jadwiga Planchkir from Gdina saw a flying saucer of circular shape in the northwestern part of the sky at about 605 a.m. It was orange in colour with reddish edges. After a while it disappeared behind local buildings. These details were included in a statement published on January 23rd. The dates of Plonchke's citing and the reports of other dock workers vary. This could be an editor's error, but there is a possibility that UFOs were observed in Gdina over a longer period in 1959. That newspaper report is so far the only documented evidence about this incident.

From this point on, all we have is unconfirmed rumours and folk-listing. The following comes from UFOs over Poland. Persistent rumours and an information vacuum gave rise to various unconfirmed stories. The most popular one is that an object allegedly hovered over the port for several days after the crash, searching for a lost companion. Another rumor claims that the exotic object was pulled from the water, confiscated by the military police, and later sent to Moscow for examination. Mudging the water still further, a photograph exists showing a strange,

blob, one which is claimed to be the object in question. Unfortunately, this was taken in Warsaw, not on the Baltic Sea coast. Some believe that the Gdiniya object was nothing more than an iron meteorite which had fallen into the water at the docks. But others had a different story to tell. Let's go back to UFOs over Poland. It turns out that there is a port official who knows all the secrets of the Gdignia UFO. Engineer Alozy data reported the following. It was a cylindrical container that looked like it was made of glass foil and filled with a ginger-like substance that was heavier than water.

Our lab staff were too afraid to check it. You know, after the Second World War, the sea floor was littered with all kinds of rubbish like fosgene and mustard gas. But the problem solved itself, a man from the security services turned up and just took it away. But there were even stranger parts to this story. For this, we have to go back to 1976

and Arthur Shuttlewood's book The Flying Sorcerers. Shuttlewood had received information from one Anthony Zacknowski, a Polish researcher. Zachnowski claimed that he'd received information from a doctor who had been caught up in the incident and who

had since emigrated to London. As nobody in Poland had heard of the doctor concerned, make of this story what you will. The following can be found on page 15 of Shuttlewood's Book the Flying Sorcerers. Several years ago, an object was seen to fall into the harbour at Gdinya, Poland, one wintry day in January. Some while later, a man was found wandering along the seafront in an extremely confused state. He was taken to a local medical clinic for observation and apparently he had an abnormal number of fingers, where the more or less than usual is not clear.

He was dressed in a one-piece suit that defied all efforts to remove it by the hospital staff. Eventually, it was removed with the aid of metal shears and found to consist of exceptionally tough material. You said this place was steps from the water. We just haven't found the steps yet.

When hospital staff removed it, he died immediately. Suddenly, the hospital was sealed off by the authorities who placed guards at the entrance. No one was allowed in or out of the bay where the body lay. Some time afterwards, a lorry arrived, complete with a refrigerated container, all heavily guarded. The lorry later left with its strange cargo and, according to the report, the container was addressed to a research institute in Moscow. Zepetsky claimed to have confirmation of this amazing story from what seems on the face of it to be an unusual source. He said that in November 1989, when he had a chance encounter with an Air Force officer, the conversation turned to that of UFOs.

The Air Force officer said that he'd seen reports about the Gidinia incident and the strange man. Although the Air Force officer claimed to have no interest in the subject of UFOs, he confirmed to Sopetsky that he'd skimmed through the official reports and could remember information about the physiology of the humanoid, plus the fact that it had remained alive for a little while after being brought to the hospital. However, he could not confirm that the body had been taken to the Soviet Union for examination. Strange triangular-shaped objects coming out of the water.

A strange object falling into the harbour at Ducadinia. And now a strange man found wandering about. High strangeness indeed. Whilst bite-sized UFOs prize itself on letting the facts tell the story, In the cases we have already looked at here, there are very few facts to go on, and very little evidence. Before wrapping up this particular episode of bite-sized UFOs, let's examine the September 1961 case listed in Leonard Cramp's book, Peace for a Jigsaw. But the strangest case of all occurred in September 1961, east of Colobreg, towards a place called Weber. This is a pleasant fishing harbour and seaside resort situated on the open sea.

There are coastal lakes in the vicinity. Mr. Sesslaw Kowetsky, a 28-year-old textile technician, had just spent his holiday there and this was his last day before boarding the train back to his hometown of Lodz. In order to have a good look at the sea, he had decided to walk back to the hotel. He took his shoes and socks off and strolled along the sandy dunes that separated Lake Wapesco from the sea and stopped for a while on the seashore to gaze at the waters lit by the full moon. Reluctantly noting the time, by his wristwatch, 1135 p.m. He had turned to move on when a southern noise of rushing water made him turn towards the sea again and, right in front of him, about 300 meters from the shore, the surface was rising in one spot. It looked like a round hill, pushed up from underneath. Then splashes of water gushed from the top, and like fountain jets, fell around the hole in the waves. From this opening in the water emerged an object which at first he thought to be an elongated triangle. Koweski managed to give a fairly detailed description of what happened next. The object rose a few meters and hovered above the same spot and there was now a whirlpool of

water rushing inwards with a loud sucking and gurgling noise. The object itself was black and silent. Suddenly, there appeared a belt of steady white light, segmented by a number of convex dark streaks. This light made glowing reflections on the lower rim of the object. It also lighted considerably the upper rim and all the rest. Now it became apparent that the thing had the shape of a huge funnel with two rims, separated by a belt of segmented light. About halfway up the upper part was a thin strip of something whiter than the rest. The slim end of the funnel had a rounded top, from which protruded a stump, thinning upwards, and bent in the middle on one side. According to Soetsky, this object hollowed in place for about a minute and then a second,

and brighter but smaller object appeared underneath it. With the underside of the huge object now illuminated by the second UFO, Kewski could make out some of the detail. Towards the centre was a wide ring of strong white light, with a number of dark hook-shaped streaks upon it. Next was a dark ring with three evenly spaced triangular spikes, these protruding over half the width of the streaky ring. Finally, there was a central disc, which looked as though it was made of some kind of highly polished silver or possibly crystal.

It reflected the light with great brilliance. The witness thought that the spikes were rotating, but couldn't be sure. He then watched the object disappear. The object moved towards the north and upwards at an angle of about 45 degrees, with a speed not exceeding that of a jet. It became a diminishing point of light until it finally disappeared. There was no sound. The entire observation lasted no more than about four or five minutes. Kewski believed that the object was about five metres in width, with its height estimated at about six meters, that being without the protrusion on top.

Recovering from his surprise, he then realized that standing only a few paces from him was a young couple who were gasping with amazement. They were Mr. and Mrs. Ponievich, who were also returning to their hotel. Mr. Kowetsky started to talk to them when they were joined by two men who arrived hurriedly from the opposite direction. Both were local and rather scared. They did not want to give their names and went to inform the Coast Guard about what had happened. 1957, 1959 and 1961. Three different years in which strange objects were seen coming out of the water or falling into it off the Polish coast.

The official documents that the Polish Air Force officer claimed that he'd read through have never turned up. And one of the doctor who claimed to have examined a strange humanoid being, one which expired shortly after an odd-looking metallic bracelet, was removed from one of its wrists. And then there's the story of a strange object with a mysterious substance inside it, won the defied examination, but which was taken away apparently by the security services. It's all very, very strange.

How much of all this is true? We don't know the answer to that question, but from the available information, it appears that a strange set of circumstances were unfolding along the Pomeranian coast of Poland in the late 50s and early 1960s. Perhaps the truth lies in an as-yet-understood Polish archive, or perhaps a Russian repository for documents from the Soviet Union era. However, until such evidence is discovered, whenever that might be, these stories will remain, simply stories.
