On one patrol in the Bay of Biscay, a disappearing radar blip proved to be a balloon (reflective?) tethered to a float. Disappearing radar contacts were rather common. One of them proved to be a school of fish on the surface while a flock of seagulls circled. The radar had picked up the sea return--not the seagulls
Were balloons released from subs to cause us to leave our patrols?
