Well, of course, most of the staffers think I"m crazy, but YES, this was a very unusual number of messages. There were 13 different messages from 0800 to 2200 eastern standard time. Three messages were repeated to a total of 4 on time frames starting at 1516 1544 1609 and 1639. the other was at 1528 1541 1606 and 1634 The third was at 1530 1537 1604 and 1632 All characters were correct, so this was no drill. There are not exercises going on, so yes, the amount of activity was extremely high. Across the pond there was an english sub that had an electrical fire. It was reported it was on a classified mission and had to abort. Could this have been part of the so many signals?? We will never know.
