I am en route for the Isle of Man out of Willemshaven and am about half way accross the Bight when watch Officer reports 'Sub spotted Brg 048'. I dived to PD and listened on Hyd'phone. Yes there's something there. Now this is where it gets strange.

On my chart the sound line is circling my boat about once a minute, yes circling me and I'm doing 6 kts.

At that rate the sub(?) must be very fast or very close.

I check with the camera and yes there's an S Class out there. I can see my scope in the picture too. But I can't see him through the scope. I come up to 10mtrs but still can't see any thing. After a few minutes the phantom sub goes off in a WSW diresction. I think I have just met the ghost of Capt Nemo.

Any one ever had this happen before?
