Morse Code from sea at St Peter Ording, Germany
During WWII, German ships near Florida were known to send Morse Code to spys on land.

What do you think is going on here? I really, really doubt a tourist was trapped on an ice flow. It is much easier to believe that a code was being sent ashore, but caught on a cam. The cam "tape" was not saved so we don't know what the message was.

"St Peter Ording, Germany - A man who became lost while walking on sea ice off the German coast has been rescued after an alert internet user hundreds of miles away noticed him on live web-cam images of a beach, police confirmed Sunday. The man clambered into a 300-metre-wide belt of pack ice off St Peter Ording beach on the North Sea coast of Germany to take photographs of a sunset. After dusk, he could not remember in which direction land and sea were located.

He began flashing SOS signals with a pocket torch. A woman internet user in the Westerwald region of central Germany noticed the intermittent flashing in video images of the beach which tourist authorities provide around the clock.

She telephoned area police, who use the headlights of a patrol car to flash an answer to the man and guide him back to firm ground. ..."

Your kidding right like they couldn't use a cell phone or something else to "send covert messages"? Instead they choose to use a live webcam open to any and everyone.Why that's ingenious and so discreet!!!!

It is easy to remember and easy to identify, it could be used as flashing lights, taps on a pipe, even smoke signals.

I think you are viewing this article with just a bit too high-powered conspiracy spectacles.

Sometimes an SOS morse code message is just that, a • • • — — — • • •
