A retired rear admiral who served as the Navy’s chief oceanographer will testify before Congress about the risks of UFOs that appear to traverse Earth’s seas with impunity.
Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet (ret.) has publicly attested in the past to “an interesting correlation (…) where we see so many potential interactions between UAP (i.e., UFOs) and nuclear ships,” but had never before discussed the topic under oath.
And increasingly, Rear Admiral Gallaudet has also given voice to growing concerns among military officials that these apparent strange craft possess “capabilities (…) beyond our current understanding of science, technology and engineering.” .
“We need to investigate them more, understand them better,” as he said this week, “both for the national security implications and just for the scientific aspect.”
But despite Rear Admiral Gallaudet’s candor on the once-marginal UFO issue, the substance of what he plans to reveal Wednesday ahead of the House Oversight Committee’s final public hearing on UAP remains a mystery.
However, the naval oceanographer revealed two surprising UFO encounters on Monday, as reported to him by Navy personnel before his testimony.
A submariner told Rear Admiral Gallaudet about an encounter a U.S. submarine had with a strange underwater object in the 1980s, which stopped in an instant while traveling at high speed in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
“It had all the characteristics of a Russian torpedo,” Rear Admiral Gallaudet said, “because it was approaching at a rapid speed.” But then it slowed down, something torpedoes don’t do.

Rear Admiral Gallaudet explained that this US Navy submarine, traveling “at greater depths during a very significant storm in the North Atlantic,” had taken evasive maneuvers to escape what its crew initially thought was a Russian torpedo. .
‘Due to their rapid rate of approach, they reached “crush depth”. That was their SOP, standard operating procedure,” the retired rear admiral said. NewsNation.
Sometimes known as “collapse depth”, the term “crush depth” is used to indicate a level of ocean depth where water density and pressure are a threat to the structural integrity of a particular submarine design.
But dense water at “crush depth” can also help a submarine evade trailing torpedoes by helping to confuse the gun’s onboard sonar, used for “acoustic localization.”
In other words, sound waves emitted as sonar “pings” can be slowed, dissipated, or otherwise interrupted when passing through dense water at these depths.
“It was an old submarine, too,” Rear Admiral Gallaudet said of the risky defensive tactic, which could have caused the submarine ship to implode, killing its crew. “So, they weren’t happy doing that and they didn’t feel comfortable.”
“They really believed it was a Soviet submarine,” he told NewsNation correspondent and veteran investigative reporter Ross Coulthart, “launching an attack on them.”
“And then, of course, this object stopped, turned around to the stern and followed them,” he continued. “He then accelerated rapidly and left the scene.”
‘In the ’80s, we didn’t know of any technology that could have done that. What was that?’ as the rear admiral rhetorically told Coulthart. “I can’t explain it either.”
Appearing on NewsNation, Rear Admiral Gallaudet also discussed “an extraordinary story from a chief petty officer on the USS Eisenhower” in which an entire multi-ship carrier strike group witnessed a giant UFO. Above, a fighter plane aboard the Eisenhower.

Appearing on Coulthart’s NewsNation show, Rear Admiral Gallaudet also discussed “an extraordinary story from a chief petty officer on the USS Eisenhower” in which an entire multi-ship carrier strike group witnessed a gigantic UFO.
“On a previous deployment, about 20 years ago, the senior leadership, this chief petty officer, witnessed a UAP in the middle of the strike group,” he said.
The retired rear admiral, who also spent three years as deputy administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), also noted that he has begun “a correspondence with Robert Hastings.”
Hastings, author of a book on the subject, titled ‘UFOs and Nukes’, has helped make public many US military witnesses of similar UFO events in the past.
But Rear Adm. Gallaudet noted that several of the most persuasive witness accounts he has heard about relate to the classified sensitivities of the U.S. nuclear submarine fleet.
“I’ve heard there are others,” he said, “but the information and underwater operations are so highly classified, with confidentiality agreements signed by everyone on the force, that it’s hard to go out and find them.”
Rear Admiral Gallaudet will speak on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at the UAP hearing organized by the HThe House Oversight and Accountability Committee plans to host the hearing on November 13.
According to a committee spokesperson: “The Cyber Subcommittee and Homeland Security Subcommittee will hold a joint hearing on UAPs on November 13. Cyber Subcommittee Chair Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Homeland Security Subcommittee Chair , Glenn Grothman (R-WI), co-chair the hearing’
