A newly disclosed message, which appears to have been drafted by COL Phillip G. Evans of the U.S. Air Force and appears authentic, has been forwarded to TheSubVet.com, detailing an account of a possible UFO incident involving a Polaris submarine on April 19, 1961. Approximately 60 seconds before the scheduled launch, the object appeared on the FPS-8 radar at Cape Canaveral AFS and the FPS-20 Radar at PAFB. There was an attempted intercept by a (USAF) F-102 Delta Dagger, a manned supersonic jet interceptor, which locked onto the object for two minutes before the object disappeared.
Records indicate that the USS Robert E. Lee (SSBN-601) was involved in Polaris missile tests around this time, including a documented launch on April 19, 1961, from Cape Canaveral.

As an 11-year Missile Tech on submarines involved with Poseidon C-3, Trident I, and II, and also an alumnus for Instrumentation Launch Supervisor at NOTU (Naval Ordnance Test Unit) CCAFS in the 1990s, this message hits close to home.
As a submarine veteran, I understand that the ethos of the Silent Service has always been to remain silent. Although stories of USO/UFO phenomena have circulated among submarine crews, no one has officially gone on record. The submarine service is among the most secure branches of the military, operating under a strict "need-to-know" culture. Knowledge of such incidents, if they occurred, would likely remain with sonar teams, past officers, and crew members in key positions.
For decades, researchers like Robert Hastings have documented connections between UFOs and nuclear weapons, uncovering numerous military testimonies detailing unexplained aerial phenomena near nuclear sites. Investigative journalists like Ross Coulthart have explored recent accounts of high-speed USOs reported by active-duty submariners, aligning with longstanding reports of UAP activity near nuclear assets.
The historical precedent suggests that UFO/UAP interactions with nuclear sites span many years. Interactions with submarines, the evidence strongly suggests, indicate that our boats were not immune to these phenomena based on other documented cases involving nuclear weapons or nuclear energy sites around the world. It's most likely that similar interactions have happened with the Russian submarine nuclear fleet as well. Many ancient records, religious texts, and historical accounts describe similar phenomena that have plagued humanity throughout its known documented history. The Silent Service could hold key insights into understanding this ongoing mystery, which is slowly coming out in media and congressional hearings. Submariners, past and present, might contribute to the broader discussion on unexplained phenomena while ensuring that submarine operations, locations, and capabilities remain protected.
If you were there during this incident or part of the crew, or if you have any tips, even rumors, about this event or others involving the UFO/UAP phenomenon when you were serving on submarines, you can contact me at:

Please share only information that you are legally and ethically permitted to disclose. The security of past and present submarine operations remains a top priority. A secure ProtonMail email address account will be available upon request for more privacy and sensitive, non-classified information for tips regarding UAP/USO phenomena.
All shared information will be reviewed by trusted investigators under strict confidentiality agreements to ensure no personal or operational security is compromised. If sharing such experiences brings up personal issues, please remember that there are veteran support services available.

They failed to follow proper UFO protocols.
If you close your eyes for a minute or so the UFO will usually go away—then you do not have to risk being mocked by friends and family!
Ah yes, the classic “Close Eyes and It’s Gone” maneuver—standard issue for UFO avoidance! Though, to be fair, you already have to be a little crazy to work on submarines… so maybe we were the ones the UFOs were avoiding. 😉 And just think, the aliens have a hard time with their family too—“No really, we saw a submarine! For reals!”
It sounds like folks who were on surface Navy ships far out to sea for many years were almost certain to see a USO/UFO in their faces at some point in their career.
It has been a poorly kept secret.
And airline pilots, who are not allowed to say anything or make a report.
If it’s anything, it’s demons.
I didn’t realize that there was swamp gas in the middle of the ocean.
I knew an air traffic control who just said, “You see them, but they aren’t there. Know what I mean?”.
