Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet will testify before Congress on November 13, 2024, regarding UFOs posing risks to naval operations. Gallaudet highlights a concerning correlation between unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and nuclear vessels.
Key details include:
1980s Encounter: A U.S. submarine encountered a mysterious underwater object that mimicked a Russian torpedo but exhibited impossible maneuverability, stopping abruptly while traveling deep in the Atlantic.
Operational Maneuvers: The submarine, during a severe North Atlantic storm, executed evasive maneuvers, going to 'crush depth' to evade what they believed to be a Soviet attack.
Witness Accounts: Gallaudet shared stories from Navy personnel, including a multi-ship strike group on the USS Eisenhower that witnessed a giant UFO two decades ago.
National Security Implications: Gallaudet emphasizes the need for further research into UAPs due to their potential impact on national security and scientific understanding.
The upcoming hearing will focus on the classified nature of many UAP incidents, particularly those involving nuclear submarines, complicating the retrieval of witness accounts.
