Deep-Sea Mystery: A Football-Field-Sized UFO Moving 200 MPH Under the Waves
An extraordinary claim from a high-ranking Navy official: a football-field-sized UFO moved underwater at around 200 mph. The witness described it as no fish and beyond the reach of conventional aircraft or submarine speed. The episode sits at the center of a U.S. Congress probe into UFO sightings by military personnel, with officials now examining unidentified submerged objects (USOs) alongside mysterious flying crafts.

What Was Reported: A Very Deep Encounter in Hidden Waters
Tim Burchett, a member of Congress involved in the inquiry, said the accounts came from very deep-water areas beneath Earth's oceans. He cited a statement from a very high-ranking Navy member describing underwater experiences with something moving at 200 mph, the object as big as a football field. Burchett added, “That’s no fish.” These reports are being evaluated as USOs—unidentified submerged objects—alongside mystery flying crafts.
Why It Challenges Modern Tech: Not Manmade, Not Us
Asked whether the object could be manmade, Burchett said, “Not with our technology, no. The best we have is probably in the high 30s.” He argued the craft could not be secret U.S. tech because top brass would not risk their own aircraft and submarines by approaching them closely. “Why would we risk multi-million-dollar apparatus? Why would we put something in the air around our best pilots that could have a crash? Because what these guys are talking about — they’ve come close to collisions. Why would they do that? They would not do that. That’s my proof that it’s not ours.”
The Hampton Incident: A 30-Year-Sealed Encounter Speaks
Bob McGwire, a professor with the Institute for Defense Analyses, described his deep-sea encounter with an alien craft while aboard the USS Hampton. He heard something whizzing by, and the sub’s onboard sonar detected the object traveling through water faster than the speed of sound. McGwire notes, sound travels four times faster in water than in air—reaching about 3,330 mph—yet torpedoes max out around 230 mph. He kept the details secret for 30 years due to classification, finally speaking out as the Pentagon’s probe expanded.
A Broader Mystery: 800 Encounters and the Ongoing Search for Truth
The broader context includes the Pentagon’s investigation into at least 800 alleged close encounters. A 2019 video showed U.S. Naval personnel aboard the USS Omaha witnessing an orb-shaped UFO off the coast of San Diego; two crew members exclaimed, “Wow, it splashed,” as the orb executed a controlled flight and disappeared underwater. The UAP Society catalogs such encounters, while officials navigate the tension between secrecy and transparency as investigations continue into USOs and UFOs alike.
