US nuclear submarine 'buzzed by underwater object' traveling 'faster than speed of sound': Scientist

A scientist carrying out classified work onboard the USS Hampton nuclear submarine in the late 1990s says the sub was 'buzzed' by an unidentified object traveling underwater faster than the speed of sound.

In a YouTube interview with UFO researcher Chris Leto, scientist Bob McGwier said that the sub was "running deep and fast" when it was passed at extremely high speed by an object. According to McGwier, the encounter was confirmed by a member of the crew who was shocked at the speed of the Unidentified Submerged Object (USO), Daily Star reports.

"We were under way and all of a sudden I hear the sound. It's really strange because it's clear that what is going on is something is whizzing by us and it's moving so fast I just can't believe it," said McGwier, adding "This thing blew by us like we were standing still."

"A person with knowledge of onboard systems came out and said 'this goddam thing is going faster than the speed of sound underwater - but that's faster than the speed of sound in air'," he continued.

According to McGwier, the crew "didn't want to report it, didn't want to tell anybody, didn't want to cause any problems."

Sound moves at 1,480 meters per second in water (3,355 miles per hour) vs. 331 meters per second in air.

Perhaps it was a 'Tic Tac' UFO, which have been seen emerging from the ocean at high rates of speed.

Unknown unknowns, known unknowns and known knowns. The Johari window.

VooDoo6 I thought that was the Rumsfield window

Yes Rumsfield said it but in the IC & psychology worlds it’s contemporaneously known as Johari window.

Johari’s Window Intelligence analysts in the U.S. intelligence community (IC) have long used analytical techniques described by two American psychologists, Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in a concept named Johari’s Window created in 1955. Johari’s Window popularized the concept of known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns and was adopted by the U.S. IC in order to identify blindspots in what we know and don’t know when analyzing data it referred to as informational blind spots.

As its name describes, the Johari window is represented as a four-paned window, with each of the two panes in the quadrant representing one’s self and the other two panes representing the part unknown to ourselves but known to others.For the purposes of this article it is not necessary to fully delve into the conceptual framework underpinning Johari’s Window. However, the idea of known knowns and known unknowns comes from this concept, so the it is worth taking some time to demystify these two ideas that are derived from the model at a superficial level.

parzival Interesting! Thanks for the link, I had no idea of that event.

Sim · 2022-12-09T08:28:38Z

Interesting. I remember reading an article, I think it was in the New Scientist before it became fully on-message, so years ago.

It described an underwater vehicle that was accelerated to such a high velocity that friction caused the entire skin of the vehicle to be surrounded with a layer of super-heated steam. The effect of this was to allow it to slip through the dense liquid without being slowed. Wonder if those pesky Russians are at it again. Supersonic torpedoes anyone?

Jamso · 2022-12-17T19:05:47Z

Sim Yeah. It's a new Russian hypersonic torpedo announced recently. The US are working on one, but they are twenty years behind. :-)

Buffalo_Ken · 2022-12-18T16:02:57Z

Jamso - yeah, currently the dimwits on "pay" from the citizens in the effing state department (whose state I ponder does the department represent?) are hashing up another plan without realizing just how far behind the times they are.......and that is not a poem - it is the sad hard cold truth per my inference.

I hope Odessa gives up the goods soon enough.

Dwoods44 · 2022-12-09T16:53:36Z

Something is moving through water that does not create waves or currents? Was it not a solid object? What new physics can explain that? We know so little.

Buffalo_Ken · 2022-12-09T17:50:45Z

It must be there are aliens amongst us and they have been for a long time I reckon....

maybe it was being "pulled" magnetically....and presumably, assuming it had any mass, designed "shape-wise" to move fast with minimal resistance...maybe it was even coated with teflon or some such....

It could be I reckon.

Protectron77 · 2022-12-10T00:35:34Z

If they were getting out of a covert intelligence operation (presumably in someone else's territorial waters), why was the sonar on?

I don't believe this guy.

I've always been told that if two galaxies collide, no stars will ever smash into another, since galaxies are over 99.99999% empty space.

Well, the atom is as well. So why is it hard to imagine that some intelligent species has figured out how to transverse through matter intact? That would 'splain being able to travel through water at unheard of speeds.

From Wikipedia

"A supercavitating torpedo is a torpedo using the effect of supercavitation to create a bubble around the torpedo to move at high velocity under water. The following is a list of supercavitating torpedoes which have been developed or are in development...

The VA-111 Shkval (from Russian: шквал, squall) torpedo and its descendants are supercavitating torpedoes originally developed by the Soviet Union. They are capable of speeds in excess of 200 knots (370 km/h or 230 miles/h).[1]"

They were first developed in the late 70s, are currently in use by the Russian and Iranian navies, use solid rocket fuel as a propellant and can carry both conventional and nuclear payloads

You can imagine how far the Russians have developed this since the 1970s . Speed of sound?

It's not Shkval. Russians are having the same questions. And their reports go way back before Shkval was developed. They are calling them Quakers. Interestingly their serious poeple are talking about it (in russian only):

TISO · 2022-12-12T21:09:51Z

Interestingly russians are talking about this for years and not just here and there some individual but high ranking officers (former commander of SSSR navy, former commander of sumbarines of SSSR, active high ranking naval officers, submarine designers etc,). They are calling them quackers.

Russians are extremly open about everything, not at all the western trope about secretive russians. It unfortunatly only in russian as they don't give rats arse about translating into other languages. When you learn basic russian a whole new world opens, not only in this case but in many other fields as well (history technics etc.)

Considering the truly ridiculous state of submarine tech, deep and fast means really shallow and slow. Russians go somewhat deeper and a bit faster. So anything is faster than a modern "superpower" submarine.

how isit possible that a solid object can move in water that fast,

sound moving fast in water is one thing, a solid object, nahhh!

it would take a technology out of this world to produce something

that move that fast in water without causing big water upheavals

or for that matter, extremely water resistance to it.

Martin Harris · 2022-12-28T21:33:31Z

Leto's a disinfo mouthpiece in my opinion. deflecting the UAP/USO topic away from military hardware and back into the endless maze of ET-oriented ufology. many of his stories are founded in real events and encounters but hyped and exaggerated to an absurd degree.

While I am no fan of Macron, this is classic projection by Erdo. He openly reveals his preoccupation with accusing others of what he himself is.
