Robert McDonald – USO/ Viking ship.
My personal view:
After spending 6 days in Bergen, Norway (May 2012) in
the company of Robert McDonald,
(4 days at a remote mountain farm + 2 days at the
venue)
I feel it is my obligation to tell the public about
Robert McDonald´s many claims.
All claims I am writing about, has been
heard by multiple witnesses or are written statements from Robert McDonald.
Before the 3 day UFO conference started, Robert was
saying that Dan Aykroyd would be coming to the conference in Bergen, which he
did not do.
Robert said that Discovery channel and National
Geographic channel were coming to the conference, which they did not do.
Robert told the organizers of the Bergen conference,
that there were 77 mails on his facebook page from people wanting to come to
the conference, but when they asked him to forward these, they got none.
(Tejre Wulfsberg and Ann-Kristin Normann, has given me
permission to release this information).
On blogtalk radio on April the 10.th 2012 http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kdclmedia/2012/04/10/turn-the-page--capt-rob-mcdonald
he claims that 10 USOs are on the ports of major cities in the Baltic, whereas
at the conference he claimed that they all were on leylines. Robert said that
these lines were found on a normal globe of the world, which obviously is not
correct. (Many other odd claims are made in this radio program).
To my surprise Robert said that Richard Dolan would be
stopping by the conference. I am the organizer of Richard´s trip to scandinavia
in sept. 2012, and was 99,9% sure that Richard would not be in Europe at this
time. I have spoken with Richard Dolan
about this and Richard has no memory of talking about the Bergen conference,
nor saying that he might stop by. Richard has shortly spoken to Robert about
his USO case.
(Richard Dolan has given me permission to quote this).
Robert had brought 3 metal detectors with him to
Norway, 2 regular ones and a hand held one.
The handheld one Robert claimed could detect implants,
which it might be able to do? But claiming it not only could detect these
implants, but also disable the electronics in them.
He claims that Garrett metal detectors, has made this
especially for him, and that the detector soon would be for sale.
Here is a link to the detector which Robert was
showing everyone http://www.garrett.com/hobbysite/hbby_pro-pointer_main.aspx
I am at the moment waiting for an answer from Garrett
metal detectors in the US.
After using one of his metal detectors alone at the
farm, Robert claimed to have found an antics bronze axe that was too heavy to
carry back. He was never able to pin point the spot where he claimed to have
found the axe.
(Tejre Wulfsberg and Ann-kristin Normann, has given me
permission to quote this information).
In these articles from Florida in 2003, his claims
surrounding a rare coin find, is also questioned.
Robert claims that UFO Hunters flew him to Roswell and
that he found a “hand size” piece of the Roswell debris and that he still has
this piece. Robert claims that he and Pat Uskert often go camping.
Pat Uskert has met Robert once after the Ufo Hunters
ended. Pat says that Robert never has worked with, or was flown anywhere by the
UFO Hunters. Pat Uskert knows nothing of this Roswell debris that Robert claims
they found together.
(Pat Uskert has given me permission to quote this).
UK police detective Gary Heseltine listened for ten
minutes to Roberts Roswell debris story. Robert not knowing what to do with the
artifact, Gary suggested that Robert could send it to him.
(Gary has given me permission to quote this).
He told us that Bill Birnes was at the conference, and
had interviewed him, when I looked skeptical, he said that it might not be Bill
Birnes, but a person employed by Bill Birnes, who was there. No one else met or
saw this person.
Robert also claims that he knows of 3 different lakes
in Norway that has USO´s. Interesting since this was Roberts first trip to
Norway.
In this radio program from the 20th of may
2012, you can hear some of Roberts claims.
He makes it sound like it was someone else´s metal
detector? Why I do not know.
Robert has claimed that he gave CNN the story of the Baltic
sea USO, and that if Peter Lindberg did not do something before the 1st
of June 2012, that he would send a diving team down. Robert claims Peter
Lindberg can´t afford to dive to the site. Robert also claims that he and Peter
Lindberg have ongoing contact with each other.
“I have no
interaction what so ever with this Mr. McDonald. We have never been in contact
except a few angry written words from me on the "Ocean Explorer"
facebook page regarding his claims about being on the site”.
“I think the chance for us to
find an alien craft on the bottom is much larger than meeting Mr McDonald out
there.”

Robert claims that he can get Sir Poul McCartney to
stop by the 2013 UFO conference in Bergen.
Robert claims that he is working on the new X Files
movie as the head of stunts, which he claims is being filmed in Holland at the
moment. ??
From my facebook chat:
o

new X files movie? You are up early.
·
o

(As a
part of my exposure, I have added Robert on facebook).
There is no mention of Robert on their website:
Here is also an article where the Hall of Fame claims
are made http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/093005/met_19911519.shtml
Robert McDonald was here in Moab, Utah several years
ago and asked to be a member ... he is considered an associate member, which
means, he showed interest in wanting to help the Hall of Fame gain some notice
the world over. The Hall of Fame is dedicated to the stunt people who have
gained recognition in the motion picture and television industry and there are
those Inductees who have been honored for their outstanding achievements in
this honored profession.
Robert is not considered to be an inductee.

Apparently, McDonald said that when a boat inspector
analyzed one of his planks made of 5000 popsicle sticks, he pronounced it
5-times stronger than steel.(!)
http://www.gadling.com/2008/04/10/hollywood-stuntman-to-sail-atlantic-in-a-popsicle-stick-ship/
(That’s pretty
strong!!)
- the bottom of the ship was burnt with what the
insurance inspectors said must have been "twice the heat of the sun",
yet our wooden ship didn't go up in flames.
(Tejre Wulfsberg and Ann-kristin Normann, has given me
permission to release this statement).
From Google translate: The ijsstokjesboot of the critically ill Robert
McDonald from Emmeloord sunk.
According to the American born, the construction broke through the frost.
(google translate is not the best. The boat sank and broke due to frost).
Robert wrote: “I Lost My Ship" after a phone warning, the same day my ship fell in half on lifting (as if cut by a knife), at the conference he used the phrase cut with laser precision. I have chosen not to put Robert´s photo of the Viking ship´s damages in this statement due to copyright.

We are several people that are of a different opinion
than Robert about “cut by a knife” or “laser precision”.
(Tejre Wulfsberg and Ann-kristin Normann, has a photo
of the “halved” Viking ship).
Robert claims:
Robert claims:
-his home has been shot at 5 times.
-he has been poisoned twice.
-he has been
diagnosed with 2 unknown cancers.
-two of his
own ship´s crew members "are dead"
- have
had 2 unknown electronic looking objects removed from his body (in a dutch
hospital).
(Tejre Wulfberg and Ann-kristin Normann has given me
permission to release this information).
Yes Robert is ill, and was taking medicine during his trip to Norway. He
asked to be put up two days at a hotel because of heath issues. The organizers
agreed to this. While Robert was staying at the city hotel he went partying
with conference guests, drinking “potato moonshine” as he calls it. (Listen to
the radio interview).
I have been unable to find Robert McDonald name on any of the film
credits he claims to have worked in.
Sadly there are many doubts concerning Robert´s claims. Robert claims
there are 312 witnesses to the Viking ship USO case. I would really
like to hear from some of these witnesses about this case.
It disturbs me greatly when people makes false claims and takes
advantage of people´s kindness and money.
Robert McDonald is in my opinion, hurting the UFO/USO field.
