The Miracle at Sea

For those who live in faith, there is little to be added, to those who have no faith, nothing will convince them, even the most obvious, does not sway their non beliefs.
I will relate a true experience of mine, which occurred in the 1950's, and was witnessed by about
30,000 servicemen. In an operation in the North Atlantic ocean, the operation called "Mariner" took place. We were close to the Arctic Circle, and
a NATO group compromised of about 3-4 aircraft carriers, and hundreds of other ships. The flight operation had about many warplanes flying. The time came for them to return back to their aircraft Carriers. The ceiling of the clouds were extremely low, but most of the airplanes landed safely, except for about 42 planes. These airplanes, kept circling around the fleet, but because of the low ceiling of the clouds, they were unable to get down to see the carriers in time to be able to land. I heard the Admiral issue the command for the planes to circle around this huge fleet one more time, as they didn't have much fuel left to be able to reach land, and most would have to ditch their planes into the ocean. The chaplain was asked to give a prayer, and requested everyone to silently pray with him. Just as the admiral was about to give the command for the planes to head for any land they felt they could reach, word came that a circle had opened up through the clouds. The admiral gave the command for the airplanes to head for the co-ordinates given by the outlying Destroyer Escorts.
I was on the signal deck and saw the beam of sun
piercing through the clouds. The air flight commander gave the command for the airplanes to drop through this opening, and land on any aircraft
carrier that they could. I saw the last plane come through this circle opening, and right behind him,
the opening closed up. I will never forget that sight all my life. Scientists could not explain away what had happened. As the Chaplain said in his nightly prayer, "those of you who witnessed what had occurred this day, and the power of Almighty God's love, need nothing more to be said"
Amen
Doubters can research this fact just search for
"Operation Mariner". The navy's explanation is a washed out version of what truly occurred. I was there and can attest to what had happened!
