Minus any corroborating information, I'd guess this is a hoax. Sounds like nonsense to me.

The word "Aroura" comes instantly to mind whenever I wonder about this guy's credibility.

Milo, Read this thoroughly, every word is true. Pass this along to any and all points possible.

Funny how this begins with BOTH of the two dead giveaways that a spam email is a hoax. Gee, I wonder if the same applies here.

did a spy craft from the us crashed?,

This was as reported by Art Bell. Too many questions rolled up into one.

(1) Was it a spy craft?
(2) Was it American?
(3) Did it crash?


The obvious answer to all 3 guesses is no. But we might ask if it is a terrestrial craft owned by time travellers from our future spotted entering one of the side entrances to their secret underwater base, said base being the entirety of the hollow inner earth.

Sounds very similar to the Shag Harbour UFO story:

The Shag Harbour UFO
with the help of http://www.renaissoft.com/ufocanada/shag.htm

The story goes like this:
On the night of October 4, 1967, shortly after 11:00 PM, a UFO some 60 feet in diameter was seen to hover over the water near the tiny fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. The UFO, which displayed four bright lights that flashed in sequence, tilted to a 45-degree angle and descended rapidly towards the water's surface. Upon impact, there was a bright flash and an explosive roar. Concerned witnesses began calling the nearby Barrington Passage RCMP detachment. None of those witnesses mentioned anything about a UFO. Most believed that a large aircraft had ditched into the harbour and that there might be survivors.

Eventually, three RCMP officers arrived at the shore near the impact site. Corporal V. Werbicki and Constable Ron O'Brien, dispatched from the Barrington Passage Detachment, were approaching from east of the site. Constable Ron Pond, who was on highway patrol on Highway #3, was heading towards Shag Harbour from a position west of the impact site, and his position allowed him to view the UFO while it was still in flight. The unusual lighting configuration and flight characteristics tipped Cst. Pond off to the unusual nature of the object long before he heard from Cpl. Werbicki, who received his information through the initial complaints to the detachment.

When all three officers met at the impact site they found that the UFO was still floating on the water about a half-mile from shore. It was glowing a pale yellow and was leaving a trail of dense yellow foam as it drifted in the ebb tide. Neither the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax nor the nearby NORAD radar facility at Baccaro, Nova Scotia, had any knowledge of missing aircraft, either civilian or military. Cst. Pond reported that the object had "changed" during its descent to the water's surface, i.e., it changed shape, and that it appeared to be "no known object." Later, other local witnesses described much the same details as those of Cst. Pond. Also, a coast guard lifeboat from nearby Clark's Harbour and several local fishing boats were summoned to investigate, but the UFO had submerged before they reached the site. The sulfurous-smelling yellow foam continued to well to the surface from the point where the UFO went down, and a 120 by 300 foot slick developed. Search efforts continued until 3:00 AM and then resumed at first light the next day. Everybody involved was convinced that "something" -- that is, something real and unidentified -- had gone into the water.

The next morning a preliminary report was sent to Canadian Forces Headquarters in Ottawa. After communicating with NORAD, Maritime Command was asked to conduct an underwater search ASAP for the object responsible for the concern in Shag Harbour. Seven navy divers from the HMCS Granby searched throughout the daylight hours until sundown of 08 October 1967. On Monday, 09 October 1967, Maritime Command canceled the search effort claiming "nil results." Outside of the local area, media attention quickly faded.

it was not only captured on videotape by an RTR newscrew, but was instantly aired, not only on RTR, but on all major Russian Network television, via a live feed from the RTR crew, in Kaliningrad.

No one watching had a Snappy hooked up?

According to a Russian Naval Commander ... the craft was apparently caught, accidently, withing (?) the sweep patterns of ship mounted search radars, which came on to track it’s progress, causing some sort of malfunction which resulted in the crash.

Doubtful, comrade, HIGHLY doubtful.

Also - which 'type' of RADAR was active: a 'tracking RADAR' or a 'search RADAR'? There *two* operate, 'sweep' (literally: sweep the skies) and 'view targets' entirely differently ...

"This looks like your basic ’hair, teeth and eyeballs’ situation, one Russian Navy diver said, somewhat grimly."

Since when do Russian divers use American euphemisms in their conversations?

Just a thought.
