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.'
