Russian Navy: UFOs among us, especially underwater

Having lost serious interest in UFOs when I was about eight years old, I have to admit to not being totally up to speed on the latest research about our interstellar friends. But I had no idea that aquatic UFOs were so common. So thank heavens for the Russian Navy for keeping tabs on them. Russia Today reports:

The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website.

The records dating back to soviet times were compiled by a special navy group collecting reports of unexplained incidents delivered by submarines and military ships. The group was headed by deputy Navy commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov, and the documents reveal numerous cases of possible UFO encounters, the website says.

Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian UFO researcher, says the materials are of great value.

“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said.

Perhaps these ocean UFOs are a sort of military intelligence unit gathering data on the Cold War?

Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments: “Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”

    As a lover of the ocean, and someone who knows a fair bit about what is down there, this sounds plausible. We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the deep ocean. If aliens were to be found in our solar system, my money is on the ocean. One could argue, things like lanternfish, vampire squid, flowerhat jellies, are the standard for alien.

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer in Washington, D.C., and a regular contributor to Slate, EurasiaNet and U.S. News and World Report. But before that I was a high school teacher in Bulgaria, an illegal day laborer in Tel Aviv, a wire service reporter in South Dakota, a war correspondent in Iraq and a Pentagon hack. And as often as I can, I try to get myself on a bus or train in a new country, looking out the window and trying to figure out what it all means. (See more at www.joshuakucera.net.
