USO Research

InterplanetaryRom: I was surprised to find so little of it too.

Reevster: Good point. Its mostly water so the planet is MOSTLY unexplored....even today.

Spacevisitor: Thanks for helping. Its impossible for me to do all this alone.

What's interesting about this story is that my Father having heard this story many times finally had the occasion to ask some of these friends at a High School reunion about this incident. Not one of them recalled it ever happening!

Im very interested in the amnesia connected to UFO-Sightings. Thanks for mentioning that.

Great thread!!
My only initial concern is, when evaluating human activity on long sea voyages, we'll always have to keep our minds open to hallucination as a possible explanation.

Why is this? Lack of sleep/nutrition?

I think that, historically, sea-voyagers were prone to hallucinations from lack of food, sickness, or just plain boredom...imagine being on a flat ocean for weeks upon end...your mind might start to play tricks...hence we have stories of mermaids, sirens, seamonsters, etc.

That being said, I still think this is an excellent thread, and there's definitely something out, er, down there...

Another interesting case with two witnesses and more important a picture of the object just below the waterline.

08-17-1947

Actual photo (from aged copy with leak through of ink from following page)
This strange photograph, snapped on the Crow River in Ontario, is a mystery to photographers. It is all that was recorded by the camera of a large purple globe, one of a series seen submerging in the Crow River. Was it a spaceship?

We left at 8:30 and after driving for about ten minutes the car stalled, leaving us stranded in the middle of a deserted and open stretch of country. We tinkered with the motor for a half-hour but couldn't get it to start again. So we started to walk back to camp.

"It was then that we both witnessed an unusual sight in the growing darkness that I still find hard to believe and vaguely know how to describe. It seemed like a huge globe of purplish light that tore across the eastern sky and disappeared into the surrounding hills. It was followed by yet another that was much closer and travelling at a slower speed. I could hardly make out the details, but it looked like a round object that had a number of large portholes on its sides. .

"The next day was a Sunday [17th] and no work was to be done. So, around three o'clock that afternoon I went down to Crow River to do some fishing and brought my camera with me. It was then that I saw those self-same objects circling about the lake, but travelling at a much lower speed. I don't know how to express my feelings when I saw them again; it struck me, somehow, as being weird and uncanny, like something from another world. At any rate, they circled closer to the lake, emitting a high-pitched whining noise. My senses came back to me and I pulled out my camera and tried to take shots.

"I took numerous snaps but later these failed to turn out. Finally the objects eased their speed and at intervals of about two minutes between them, they hit the lake and sank about 100 yards from where I was standing. The first snap I took failed to focus properly, but the second one turned out excellently as the object hit the water.

Lets say i have a relative that is a VERY high ranking navy official. How should i go about asking for information? You've probably heard his name before, but i dont know if i should put it out there.

Im pretty sure hes "in the know"

I think ill shoot him a casual Email for now.

The fact that so many USO accounts have been filed by credible sources and even UFO incidents have had a god bit to do with water, I can't help but wonder if Hydrogen really is a viable fuel source and we just haven't figured out how to use it right yet. If I am not mistaken, insn't space mostly hydrogen? There was a show on History Chanel about USOs that was every well done. It talked about the US Navy sightings that were reported. Far to many people have described the same sort of thing for it to be nonsense. I aggree with an earlier post that Atlantis may be real but used by these things. Who is to say that they haven't been here for millions of years and we are the newcomers?

Great post Skyfloating. have a great day brother.

My favorite has to be Shag harbour, I actually visited the small town about 5 yrs ago while on a camping vacation in the maritimes. I drove about an hour out my my to visit. there is an old church that has set up a "museum" that details quite a bit of documentation on " The Event". one things that is so cool is that the Canadian Navy dispatched ships that stayed on site for a couple of days.

It is also interesting to note that back in those days there was a fear of russian subs hitting the east coast, so the US Navy has at the time a secret "listening" post at Shelburne Nova Scotia. I can't remember where I read it but Supossedly Shelburne tracked an underwater object that moved from Shag harbour closer to the base then left the water into the sky

hmmmmm sounds like a "Visit" to me

If he told you anything other then "No" or "I don't know" then he would be violating the conditions of his Clearance. I had a Secret Clearance in the service (Navy 83-87) and still can't talk about anything I saw or read.

1945 U.S. Navy, Multiple Source Confirmations

a single distinct blip had appeared out of nowhere on the radar scope. A few seconds later and the blip became visible in the sky... almost directly over the battleship

Later it was learned that at that time, the object was at an altitude of twenty thousand feet. Finally, Capt. Christian ordered the guns to cease fire. The object remained above the ship for a few more seconds, then, to everyone’s amazement, it climbed up at a fantastic rate of speed until it was out of sight and off the radar scope

1945, St. Petersburg Times, U.S. Navy

Excerpt:

aboard the Salamana (sic – Salamaua) (CVE-96), an escort aircraft carrier, was interceptor officer. Around 11 o'c1ock in the morning, while south of Okinawa, he said he and his group were disturbed by the appearance of a "blip" on the screen that appeared to be traveling toward them at a terrific rate of speed.

Found this UFO over water on my computer, forget the source I have it from though:

Very interesting case because of seen "little men" running over the deck of the object.

6~8-??-1947

Witnesses: Pawlu Zammit and others
Object: Black submarine
Sound: None

Notes: Fishermen on a boat 20 miles south of Malta were raising their nets with a catch of fish when they saw an object floating on the water's surface that looked like a black submarine. The fishermen were frightened because they thought it looked more like a monster than a submarine, so they quickly pulled in their nets and started the boat's engine.

At that moment a bright light from the "submarine" lit up the whole area and little men began running over the deck of the object. The fishermen couldn't make out much detail from their boat, but whenever the light illuminated the "little men," they could see some sort of apparatus around their waist.

When the witness was asked how tall these men were, he replied, "About the size of a 10 year old boy." After a few minutes, the "little men" entered the "submarine" which began to glow so brightly that the fishermen couldn't see the object. It then submerged.

Protect his privacy, dont name him, imo. Instead, stay casual and tell him of your interest. He might just respond as casually about USOs.

Perhaps UFO's and USO's are one in the same.

All of these stories seem to share one common characteristic: these "objects" enter the water and then shortly after they exit it.

Perhaps these objects need to refuel. Perhaps they run off of H20. Hence they dive in for a fill-up, and then resurface.

If you don't prefer that idea, here is another one.

Just because humans can sometime see these "objects", doesn't mean that they are constrained to the 3rd dimension. They could possibly travel in and out of dimensions at will. Maybe some oceans and lakes are some type of dimensional portal entrance that they know how to access.

Most things are not as they seem.

However, take a look at any image of the earth taken from outer space, and you will be able to appreciate truly the amount of water that is present on the earth's surface. The bluish color that you see covering the earth in these images is due to the presence of large amounts of water on the earth. In fact, the earth's surface is covered mostly with water, with land areas forming a very small percentage. The amount of water covering the earth's surface is a staggering 70 percent, with the remaining 30 percent being covered by land.

Just think how many UFO, USOs could be moving in and out of the oceans at any given time unkown to us land dewellers .

Add in the bright blue skys, and you have a lot of area to watch...
Too much space, they could be whizzing around all the time, air and sea.

P.s. Great job by the OP. Like others, I too often look to the skies, even though I'm always at the beach. Now I'll have a lot more to think about and look for next time I grab some waves.

Here's a link to my own encounter with a USO some years ago.

My USO encounter

I'm the only one who saw this "thing", though as you'll see in the thread, others have seen it, or something like it, since...

Really good thread.

reply to post by seagull


Just read your post. You are the third experiencer "coming out" in this thread. Lets hope for many more.

About its speed...how much is 40 to 50 knots? (Excuse my ignorance).

reply to post by Skyfloating


Right around, just below actually, 60mph. Given the roughness of the bottom there 'bouts that's hauling it.

Great thread. I have been interested in USO's for some time, but then i have been interested in the ocean more than space itself

This one was back in 2006 with numerous witnesses on Southern African East coast, what we call the South Coast in South Africa, just to leave out confusion...strangely

I am also of the opinion they are one in the same.

However what I was thinking is that the masters of said vessels are from liquid water enviroments. Earth has liquid water oceans and there is lots of speculation that several of the outer moons in the Solar system also contain water oceans under ice. So if this ratio is the norm outside of our backyard then odds are on that we would find more then a few races who evolved in the dark "the ice is the sky" of some moon or planet.

Gee I wonder why Greys are colorless and have big eyes, just like they come from a cave or some others dark enviroment and I bet those big heads are easier to hold up in water...
