Five or Six Secret Underwater Bases: Could Aliens Be Living Off America’s Coast?
A Tennessee congressman claims that advanced alien beings may be hiding in five or six underwater UFO bases just off the U.S. coast. Tim Burchett, a member of the House Oversight Committee on UFO reports, drew massive attention after saying there are 'entities' living in deep-water areas on Earth. In a sidewalk interview with a UFO researcher using the pseudonym Red Panda Koala, Burchett suggested that intelligent alien civilizations could have been hiding in Earth's oceans for generations. He pointed to frequent sightings of unidentified crafts around five or six deep-sea areas, noting that the ocean is far less understood than the Moon. He also said Navy personnel have chased underwater craft that move at speeds far beyond current U.S. military technology. Still, there is no publicly verifiable physical evidence—no artifacts or clear footage—to confirm the existence of alien bases. Critics say the claims rely on anecdotal reports and lack peer‑reviewed scientific data.
Atlantic Atlantis? AUTEC, Tongue of the Ocean, and a Bahamas-Region Where UFOs Supposedly Gather
Following the explosive claims, UFO researcher Dr. Michael Salla said the bases are believed to lie in a region of the Atlantic near the Bahamas. He has spoken to credible whistleblowers, including senior military and executive-branch officials, who reportedly confirm underwater bases and advanced craft. Salla notes that the U.S. Navy operates a top-secret facility in this region—AUTEC, the Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Center. To its right lies the Tongue of the Ocean, a very deep trench that drops around 3,000 feet, a setting ideal for submarines and, he says, frequent UFO activity. Salla also recounts interviews with two eyewitnesses, including a U.S. Army whistleblower who used the alias 'JP,' who claims a helicopter flight to an ocean platform, a high‑tech submarine crewed by Nordic-looking extraterrestrials, and an underwater city beneath a dome with a Dubai-like skyline and a large white pyramid. The story says the mission involved retrieving an artifact, but no physical evidence has ever been produced.
Evidence Gaps and Skepticism: What We Really Know (and Don’t)
Despite Burchett’s and Salla’s claims, no verifiable physical evidence has been presented, and skeptics stress the absence of peer‑reviewed data. A September congressional hearing featured new whistleblowers who described encounters with UFOs, including a video showing an orb-like object surviving a missile strike and splitting into four parts as it continued to fly. Burchett summarised the tension: 'We have naval personnel telling me we have these sightings, these underwater craft they're chasing that go hundreds of miles an hour, and the best we got is something that does maybe a little under forty miles an hour.' The conversation has intensified interest, but the evidence remains unproven. Separately, Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison recently released video of a U.S. military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO that bounced off and did not stop the craft.
