Recent years have seen such a surge in concern regarding UFOs that NASA undertook an extensive investigation to ascertain their nature. Now, some experts propose shifting the focus from the skies to the depths of the ocean. The former head of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is initiating an inquiry into Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs), particularly delving into a peculiar anomaly observed on the seabed near the coast of California. Timothy Gallaudet, a former rear admiral in the US Navy, has dedicated the last 18 months to interviewing numerous sailors, submariners, military personnel, and members of the US Coast Guard, all of whom claim to have encountered unidentified vessels in aquatic realms. One such incident occurred in 2019 off the coast of San Diego in southern California, captured on film by the USS Omaha, where a dark object was observed swiftly maneuvering before submerging into the water.

In recent years, the concern surrounding UFOs has escalated to the extent that NASA embarked on an extensive investigation to uncover their nature. Now, some experts argue that the focus of this investigation should shift from the skies to the depths of the ocean.

The former head of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is spearheading an inquiry into Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs), particularly focusing on a peculiar anomaly observed on the seabed off the coast of California.

Timothy Gallaudet, a former rear admiral in the US Navy, has dedicated the past 18 months to conducting interviews with numerous sailors, submariners, military personnel, and members of the US Coast Guard. All have reported sightings of unidentified craft beneath the waves.

One notable incident occurred in 2019, when the USS Omaha, stationed off the coast of San Diego in southern California, captured footage of a dark object swiftly maneuvering before descending into the water.

The report discusses an incident in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, where a fast-moving craft was detected by a thermal imaging system aboard a US Customs and Border Protection aircraft as it entered the Atlantic Ocean.

At a recent Sol Foundation symposium, Gallaudet highlighted his involvement in interviewing numerous individuals over the past year and a half. Among those interviewed were people from various sectors including commercial, military, Coast Guard, mariners, and submariners. These individuals reported firsthand observations of unidentified phenomena in oceans worldwide, spanning regions such as the tropical eastern and western Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, and the North Atlantic and eastern seaboard. Gallaudet emphasized the need to gather more data to gain a better understanding of these occurrences.

In response to increasing interest and concern, the US Congress mandated the Department of Defense to investigate UFOs, leading to the establishment of a new office named the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Additionally, a report by the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence revealed 274 documented observations of UFOs by military personnel between August 2022 and April 2023.

Gallaudet shared his own experience from 2015 when he served as the chief meteorologist for the US Navy. He recalled receiving a classified email titled “Urgent safety of flight issue,” containing the infamous Go Fast video. The video depicted Hornet pilots narrowly avoiding mid-air collisions with UFOs. Despite this alarming incident, Gallaudet noted the navy's reluctance to address the issue, leaving pilots to devise their own evasive maneuvers without official guidance.

Garry Nolan, a professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine and co-founder of the Sol Foundation, emphasized the urgency of taking these reports seriously. He cited multiple credible accounts from military personnel, detailing sightings of objects moving underwater at extraordinary speeds beyond the capabilities of known submarines. Similarly, pilots have reported observing objects near the ocean's surface during flyovers, while military or commercial ships have witnessed objects emerging from the water. Nolan stressed the importance of initially attempting to explain these observations as errors or technical glitches, but acknowledged the challenge posed by multiple corroborating observations and sensor measurements.

“Therefore, the chance of multiple coincidental glitches is unlikely and therefore it opens the question of whether these represent some kind of non-human intelligence at work.”
