A retired rear admiral, who served as the Navy’s head oceanographer, will testify to Congress about the risks of UFOs that appear to traverse Earth’s seas with impunity.
Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet (ret.) has attested publicly in the past to ‘an interesting correlation […] where we see so many potential interactions of UAP [i.e. UFOs] and nuclear ships’ — but has never before discussed the issue under oath.
And increasingly, Rear Adm. Gallaudet has also given voice to growing concern among military officials that these strange apparent craft possess ‘capabilities […] beyond our current understanding of science, technology as well as engineering.’
‘We need to research these more, get a better understanding of them,’ as he put it this week, ‘both for the national security implications, as well as just the science.’
But despite Rear Adm. Gallaudet’s openness on the once-fringe topic of UFOs, the substance of what he plans to reveal on Wednesday before the House Oversight committee’s latest public UAP hearing remains a mystery.
The naval oceanographer did, however, reveal two startling UFO encounters on Monday, as reported to him by Navy personnel ahead of his testimony.
One submariner told Rear Adm. Gallaudet of an encounter a US sub had with a bizarre underwater object in the 1980s, which stopped on a dime while speeding deep under the Atlantic Ocean.
‘It had all the signatures of a Russian torpedo,’ Rear Adm. Gallaudet said, ‘because it approached a rapid rate. But then it slowed down, which torpedoes don’t do.’

Rear Adm. Gallaudet explained that this US Navy submarine — which was traveling ‘at a deeper depth during a very significant North Atlantic storm’ — had conducted evasive maneuvers to escape what its crew thought, at first, was a Russian torpedo.
‘Because of its rapid rate of approach, they went to “crush depth.” That was their SOP, standard operating procedure,’ the retired rear admiral told NewsNation.
Sometimes known as ‘collapse depth,’ the term ‘crush depth’ is used to indicate a level of deep ocean where the density and pressure of water is a threat to the structural integrity of a particular submarine’s design.
But, the dense water at ‘crush depth’ can also help a sub evade torpedoes following it, by helping to confuse the weapon’s on-board sonar, used for ‘acoustic homing.’
The sound waves emitted as sonar ‘pings,’ in other words, can be slowed, dissipated or otherwise disrupted when passing through dense water at these depths.
‘It was an old sub, too,’ Rear Adm. Gallaudet said of the risky defensive gambit, which could have imploded the undersea vessel, killing its crew. ‘So, they were not happy doing that and not comfortable.’
‘They really believed it was a Soviet sub,’ he told NewsNation correspondent and veteran investigative reporter Ross Coulthart, ‘launching an attack on them.’
‘And then, of course, this object, it stopped, and it went around to their stern and followed them,’ he continued. ‘Then it rapidly accelerated out of the scene.’
‘Back in the ’80s, we know of no technology that could have done that. What was that?’ as the rear admiral put it rhetorically to Coulthart. ‘I can’t explain it either.’
In his appearance on NewsNation, Rear Adm. Gallaudet also discussed ‘an extraordinary story from a chief petty officer on the USS Eisenhower’ in which an entire carrier strike group of multiple ships witnessed a giant UFO. Above, a fighter jet onboard the Eisenhower

In his appearance on Coulthart’s NewsNation program, Rear Adm. Gallaudet also discussed ‘an extraordinary story from a chief petty officer on the USS Eisenhower’ in which an entire carrier strike group of multiple ships witnessed a gigantic UFO.
‘On an earlier deployment about 20 years ago, the senior leadership, this chief petty officer, all witnessed a UAP in the middle of the strike group,’ he said.
The retired rear admiral, who also spent three years as a deputy administrator to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), also noted that he has begun ‘a correspondence with Robert Hastings.’
Hastings, author of a doorstop book on the subject, titled ‘UFOs and Nukes,’ has helped bring public many US military witnesses to the similar UFO events in the past.
But, Rear Adm. Gallaudet noted that several of the most persuasive witness accounts, that he has heard about, are tied up with the classified sensitivities of America’s nuclear submarine fleet.
‘I’ve heard there’s others,’ he said, ‘but submarine information and operations are so highly classified, with nondisclosure agreements signed by everybody on the force that they’re hard to come out and find.’
Rear Adm. Gallaudet will speak Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at the UAP hearing hosted by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee is planning to host the hearing on Nov. 13,
According to a committee spokesperson: ‘The Cyber Subcommittee and National Security Subcommittee will hold a joint hearing on UAPs on November 13. Cyber Subcommittee Chairwoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) and National Security Subcommittee Chairman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) will co-chair the hearing,’
