Biography
On the morning of 12th September 1958, Hooper briefed a squadron of F4U Corsairs to investigate disappearances that had plagued the US Navy and Airforce for the past 50 years as it was suspected that something in the Bermuda Triangle caused navigation instrument failure with problems being reported as far back as the 1490s after an unidentifiable object fell from the skies. The squadron radioed to him that a strange disturbance, or ripple in the air had been reported. Radio connection faltered but reports came through of strange metallic creaturess that rose up from an island where a rusting alien craft had crash-landed, which Hooper wondered if it was the source of the disturbances. He listened in horror as the creatures opened fire on the squadron with the sound of crackling energy blasts and endless explosions from the planes being torn apart from enemy fire filling his ears. The last message described the seas as military graveyard, full of the victims. Hooper would later record this in his personal journal, praying that these monsters stayed in the isolated stretch of ocean and none of his men would ever have to see them again. (DWBIT: #11)
