Navy Officer Says Underwater UFOs Are Legitimate Threats. The Evidence Is Hard to Ignore.
Yahoo/Popular Mechanics ^ | Stav Dimitropoulos

Posted on 08/25/2025 4:00:22 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, PhD, an oceanographer, was one of the first to view footage from the UAP incidents in 2015 involving fighter jets attached to the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which at the time was conducting training exercises off the coast of Florida. Two videos captured by Navy fighter jets that were made public in 2020 show strange craft flying at incredible speeds with no visible means of propulsion, sometimes rotating in midair. “I knew then that what I saw was not our technology. We don’t test experimental aircraft in training ranges—it’s too dangerous—and I had access to everything classified. No nation has craft that can move like that,” he says.

Gallaudet, now retired from the Navy and currently the CEO of Ocean STL Consulting, is pushing for the U.S. government to treat these phenomena as a “national research priority.” Despite some public disclosures, many records remain classified, buried within defense contractor vaults or shielded by national security exemptions. If even part of what’s been reported is true, then the encounters off Virginia, California, and elsewhere could be the opening chapter in a much deeper mystery—one that spans oceans, navies, and continents.

This spring, Graves and Gallaudet briefed officials in Washington, D.C., on unidentified submerged objects. “We’re at a unique moment in history,” Graves says. “People have access to tools that can reveal things. The momentum is building.”

That momentum has already begun reshaping policy. In 2023, Congress passed the UAP Disclosure Act, legislation requiring federal agencies to collect, catalog, and disclose records related to recovered nonhuman craft and biologics. For the first time, U.S. law openly acknowledged the potential existence of off-world or nonhuman intelligence, and even hinted at craft retrieval and reverse engineering programs.

One more tiny snippet (it's a long article):

Those newly released records contain a trove of details on previously classified encounters with multiple transmedium UAPs. None definitively prove that otherworldly beings are hiding in or above our oceans, but they do raise questions that neither our military nor scientific experts can explain.

You might be right. What’s your argument?

But it’s aliens.

I think your comment says more about your emotions toward the UFO subject than about the people you’re criticizing.

A grifter isn’t “mentally deranged.” A grifter is calculated, like a card counter in Vegas. You may not like what they’re doing, but “deranged” doesn’t fit.

See the difference? Your reaction suggests you’ve got a personal issue with the topic itself, not just the grift.

Tiamat, Tloloc, the Graeae, Leviathan, Charybdis, Ponaturi and Nix....

If one were cynical, one might wonder if this Retired Admiral’s consulting firm is going to be paid to conduct this research.

Much like sharing a picture of a submerged submarine.

The Evidence Is Hard to Ignore.

But, there will be many here who do just that.
