Satellites are searching for alien life on distant planets, but a scientist's strange encounter suggests we may want to look deeper into our world.
Bob McGwire, a professor at Virginia Tech and with the Institute for Defense Analyses, was carrying out classified work on the USS
Hampton submarine when he heard the sound of 'something whizzing by.'
The onboard sonar determined the unidentified submerged object (USO) was
traveling through the water faster than the speed of sound, he has claimed.
Such speeds underwater should have crushed the submarine, according to McGwire, but he said it was as if they were standing still.
McGwire said he urged the naval team to report the encounter, but they determined it would hinder the mission.
'When I left there with the knowledge in my head, not having been told to be quiet, not having been told it was classified... It is mine to tell whoever I want. They blew it,' McGwire said, noting he would not discuss the classified work done on the sub.
The strange incident happened in the late 1990s, but McGwire recently came forward with the story on the
YouTube channel UAP Society, where he wanted to 'blow the whole thing wide open.'
The story has also resurfaced online, sparking the attention of many people on social media who 'wonder what it was.'
McGwire has not shared what he was doing on the the Navy submarine, the location and depth it was at due to the information being classified.
The engagement lasted for just a few seconds, he said.
'We were underway, and, all of a sudden, I heard a sound. It is really strange and clear that something is whizzing by us,' said McGwire.
The Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS
Hampton (SSN 767) is assigned to Submarine Squadron 11 in San Diego, California.
McGwire boarded the sub from an undisclosed location and snapped a picture before heading down into the depths of the sea.
The USS
Hampton is limited by how fast it can travel due to the incompressibility of water in front of it,
but the USO 'blew by' the sub.
'A person with knowledge of onboard systems' who was likely monitoring the sonar tech is said to have announced that something just soared past the submarine faster than the speed of sound, McGwire said during the YouTube interview.
Sound travels faster in water, about 3,330 miles per hour because the liquid is about 1,000 times denser than air.
The only manmade object comparable would be Russia's Shkval torpedo, but this can only hit speeds of 230 miles per hour.
And the fastest sea animal is the sailfish, which can swim 68 miles per hour.
Lehto said that McGwire 'has extensive experience in the Navy' and has done work with classified radio frequencies.
McGwire has also served as a high-security-clearance intelligence officer and has a Ph.D. from Brown University.
While the account is bizarre, McGwire's statements echo the 2021 video showing US Naval personnel having a close encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO).
The object was filmed by a camera aboard the USS
Omaha as it sailed off the coast of San Diego in July 2019.
Two unidentified crew members could be heard exclaiming: 'Wow, it splashed,' after the ball made a controlled flight over the ocean,
then splashed into the sea and disappeared underwater. They filmed the object making a controlled flight above the water for an extended period of time before it finally entered the ocean.
Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell shared the footage on
Mystery Wire.

I guess it's okay though if they "tell the truth" without any possible way to corroborate as long as all the thirsty folks in the "believer" community believe them because it validates their beliefs. It wasn't reported, so it's not classified.
I suggest you brush up on whistleblower protections and processes and how DOPSR works.
They've got a large movie studio on their grounds ...
they could provide some good visuals, instead we're left with these government tater-heads nattering on about how "I seen it ! ".
Nassholes are too busy putting out Mars photos with red filter and eagles flying in the distance.
Don't worry mate, NASA and Elon (Starlink) will be involved if or when they get to the Blue Beam spectacular. This is just the warm-up routine
They won't require a movie studio for what might be coming...
Funny how I got a spockian raise of the eyebrow at that. Then again, I should realize I'm on a web site with other intelligent people.
How similar the reflections are depends on the angle of the lenses to one another and the convexity of the lenses themselves, as well as the distance from the objects being reflected. This isn't that hard, and frankly you should be more critical.

Be an open-minded skeptic. Don't forget the open-minded part. If you believe everything or believe nothing, it's the same thing. If you see a conspiracy everywhere you look when it doesn't 100% line up with what you believe, it's the same thing. You might was well be Mick West or Michael Shermer because you're not advancing the conversation. You're just assuming something is true or not based on your internal narrative.
I've seen and heard 'whistleblowers" come and go, watched the "disclosure is just around the corner" game played out over and over.
I have gone from gullible "I want to believe" to open minded skeptic and super-cautious. Been burned too many times by disinformation con-artists waving "secret documents" or holding camera footage of the "invasion fleet'.
I absolutely believe in "life out there" and believe it's likely that we share the earth with plasma based life forms that masquerade as aliens, angels or demons in order to communicate with us and manipulate us.I think both the UK and US government know this but don't actually care, except to use UFOs as a psy-op tool.
I've been around long enough to have a chuckle every time these disinformation conduits come out of the woodwork. William Moore, Richard Doty, Bob Lazar, Elizondo, Grusch, Corbell...
Some of them are active agents, others are unwitting conduits: Useful Idiots.
I do my due and thorough research Artex. I'm nobody's fool and I have no agenda to push. What I believe is based around the available evidence and not on my personal desires. I change those beliefs if the evidence changes my stance. For eg i was a Roswell believer for a long time, and now I believe it's a big nothing. And I most certainly do NOT assume anything!
So thanks for your gaslighting rant, straw-manning my position on UFOs, but YOUR assumptions are incorrect. Have a pleasant day

There's also an account given by William Cooper in the first 12 minutes of his interview with CNN from 1992...(youtube)

Face palm your face unquestioning believers.
Most of the ufo bs comes from usa, the greatest physop outputer ever.

Also totally ridiculous:
Max diving depth of the puny Los Angeles-class submarine is
450 m (1,480 ft). This depth already is endangering for that junk. Experts suggests shallower depths for safety. LOL!!
While underwater UFOs can reach any depth and are zipping by at "Hyper-Submarine Speeds". Haha!
Shows you that the Human Cattle is kept on this planet only for their meat. Imprisoned Food on Prison Planet Earth. While the super-rich Alien Elite are zipping by effortlessly in their Alien SuperYachts..
