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.

Back in 2005 this interesting book was published.

It was a revised edition of the one he wrote in 1974.

The astronomy thread with pictures of heavenly bodies such as in Hubble views is elsewhere but all is forgiven for posting it here.

See what happens when The View goes on hiatus? Idle View panelists get into trouble.

For the same reason the Greeks needed a giant wooden horse.

Half of our population appears to be demon-possessed; yet, it doesn't seem to be UFO related.

Someone might know what that one happens to be. Sadly.

They are particularly interested in human sex.

Maybe I need to work with them.

Full disclosure: I have not read the article.

Nevertheless, underwater speed and stealth make sense for any nation intent on strengthening defense.

If they don’t fly, they’re not UFOs.

Probably why the navy calls them “Fast movers”.

Excellent observation. I would add, though, that your comment doesn't exclude the UFO-demon connection.

How can we conclude there is no UFO connection? Each and every one of these freaks might have been abducted. How would we know? And what if the UFO thing is just a Trojan horse deception? What if these beings are just from an evil dimension? What if the UFO thing is just a head fake.

I sincerely hope you are equally upset when someone calls a “magazine” a “clip”. ;-D

The point is that sometimes they fly and sometimes they dive into the ocean.

DUH!!! If they were airborne BEFORE entering the water...they’re UFOs.

Those type crafts have been observed and reported on for about eighty years.

Underwater UFO. So flying underwater is now possible?

Right. USOs are the submersible vehicles.

Popularized by the 1974 Ivan T. Sanderson book.

I have never seen any UFO or submersible USO in my entire life.

A student assistant of mine in the library once casually mentioned that she and her girlfriend on vacation in the northern part of lower Michigan were sitting at the lakeshore by the woods.

There was a gushing sound and the water swelled. A traditional looking metallic saucer shaped object slowly and silently moved out of the water, the water dripping off it into the lake, it was still for a few seconds in the air, then started moving upward again and finally kept going until out of sight overhead. More like a balloon disappearing upward than a jet or a rocket, she said.

She said: “Well, that makes us people who have seen a UFO.”
“Yes, I think it does.”

She was not a wild type, a tale teller or anything like that. She never told a reporter.
