Former US Navy Officer Warns Of Unidentified Underwater Objects

A retired US admiral named Tim Gallaudet mentioned that unknown objects can sometimes travel in the deep oceans without ever emerging.

The spotting of the so-called unidentified flying objects (UFOs) has received significant attention over the past few years, with the US Congress conducting a press briefing about the issue in 2023.

The Pentagon also debunked the sightings, clarifying in one of the earlier reports this month that they did not find any evidence of extraterrestrial technology. But incidents similar to this, whenever reported, attract huge interest worldwide.

A retd. US admiral has warned about the unidentified submarines, mentioning that they pose a “real threat” to international maritime security.

Rear Adm. and Tim Gallaudet, the expert oceanographer, wrote a white paper for Sol Foundation, a think tank, wherein he mentioned that unidentified submersible objects (abbreviated USOs) require immediate attention.

Gallaudet also said the vast lighted craft can lurk in the oceans’ unseen depths.

There is not enough research on transmedia UAPs and USOs, which is ideal. The underwater anomalies reportedly jeopardize US maritime security, which has weakened due to relative ignorance regarding the global ocean, he explained in the report.

Their presence in oceans simultaneously presents an unexpected opportunity for maritime science. To resolve security and scientific problems, transmedium UAPs and USOs should be elevated to the national ocean research priorities, Gallaudet added.

Gallaudet reported that much research is being conducted regarding what has been going up in the sky, which means that the major powers can make moves underwater without anyone’s knowledge.

He also pointed toward the war in Ukraine, the Hamas-Israel war, the Irani proxy conflicts in the waters of the Red Sea, North Korea’s ever-growing nuclear arsenal, and China’s perilous moves toward Taiwan, calling them overwhelming and proliferating threats.

A threat that might be even greater than these is mostly unseen: the worldwide network of undersea cables that offer the backbone of global communication and information transfer, per Gallaudet. He mentioned “soft” challenges.

Such a magnificent complex of seabed infrastructure underpins worldwide commerce, military logistics and readiness, and the Internet, too. The threat and the others outlined above reflect a problematic image for maritime security, it stated.

Gallaudet also claimed that the US government isn’t sharing its knowledge on USOs and UAPs, making it more difficult to tackle security threats across oceans.
