US Submarine Witnessed Underwater Object Moving Fast Than Speed of Sound
A strange new realization has arrived in the world of Ufology, and we have the US Navy to thank for it.
The infamous USS Nimitz UFO incident, in which pilots locked on to and filmed an impossibly fast and maneuverable object over the Pacific Ocean, was one of the first few public incidents in which credible eyewitnesses reported that these unidentified objects were not only moving through the air with physics-shattering finesse, but that they were also seamlessly entering and exiting the ocean as well.
Now, a scientist who once did secretive work aboard a US nuclear submarine is coming clean about a similarly terrifying incident he experienced some years prior to the Nimitz encounter.
A nuclear submarine was buzzed by an unidentified object – travelling under water faster than the speed of sound.
The claim came from a scientist who had been carrying out classified work on board USS Hampton.
Bob McGwier told fighter pilot turned UFO researcher Chris Lehto how the sub was passed at astonishing speed while it was “running deep and fast” in the late 1990s.
The incident was stunning.
McGwier told the Lehto Files YouTube channel: “We were under way and all of a sudden I hear the sound. It’s really strange because it’s clear that what is going on is something is whizzing by us and it’s moving so fast I just can’t believe it.
“This thing blew by us like we were standing still.”
He added: “A person with knowledge of onboard systems came out and said ‘this goddam thing is going faster than the speed of sound underwater – but that’s faster than the speed of sound in air’.”
McGwier would go on to suggest that the encounter was never reported in an effort to “avoid problems” – a claim that makes the experience all the more profound.
