Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm Darren Marler, and this is weird dark news. The
oceans surrounding the United States harbor more than fish and submarines.
There is a tracking platform called Enigma that has been
collecting reports since twenty twenty two, and the numbers are staggering.
Over nine thousand reports of unidentified objects have been logged

(00:32):
within ten miles of US shorelines. These aren't things flying overhead.
They are flying under water. They move at speeds that
shouldn't be possible. They slip between air and sea without
leaving so much as a ripple. Military officials have seen
them with their own eyes, recorded them on sophisticated equipment,
and they still can't explain what they are. Enigma launched

(00:55):
in late twenty twenty two and calls itself the world's
largest searchable database for UFO and UAP sidings, with roughly
thirty thousand unexplained events recorded in total by August twenty
twenty five. More than nine thousand of those sightings happened
within ten miles of US shorelines or in major waterways,
and about five hundred occurred within five miles of the coast.

(01:17):
Over one hundred and fifty of those reports specifically describe
objects hovering above water or moving into and out of it.
California tops the list with three hundred eighty nine reported sidings,
with Florida coming in second at three hundred and six.
Enigma released maps showing clusters of orange dots tracking along
both the East and West coasts. The concentrations show up

(01:40):
near shipping lanes, naval training zones, and busy maritime routes.
Some of these reports come from remote areas where you
wouldn't expect many witnesses at all. One of the videos
that made it into the database shows eerie green lights
moving beneath the ocean's surface. People describe objects that rise
from deep water with out any warning, things that plunge

(02:02):
into the sea but don't make the splash they should,
blowing shapes traveling underwater at speeds that don't make sense.
The footage quality varies since a lot of it comes
from phone cameras, but the consistency across hundreds of reports
from different locations and different witnesses starts to form a pattern.
July twenty nineteen, the USS Ombaja was operating off the

(02:25):
coast of California. An infrared camera aboard the ship captured
a spherical object moving over the Pacific before it dropped
into the ocean. The recording happened on July fifteenth, twenty nineteen,
at eleven pm Pacific Standard time film in the ship's
Combat Information center off the coast to San Diego. This
wasn't some grainy footage from a consumer camera phone. The

(02:46):
crew tracked the object using their an KAX two electro
Optical sensor, which is a stabilized sensor turret specifically built
for maritime environments. The system includes a digital video camera,
night vision camera, and a laser rangefinder. This is military
grade equipment designed to identify and track objects at sea.

(03:07):
The encounter lasted more than an hour. At least fourteen
targets were detected. The objects measured at least six feet
in diameter, solid mass, traveling its speeds ranging from forty
to one hundred and thirty eight knots that's forty six
to one hundred and fifty eight miles per hour. When
the object finally went into the water, a submarine was
sent to search the area, but they found no wreckage.

(03:31):
The Pentagon had to address this footage. Officials verified it
as authentic. Susan goff A Department of Defense spokesperson confirmed
the video was recorded by Navy personnel and went to
the UAP Task Force for review. That's the official government
panel established to figure out what these things are. In
the video, you can hear military personnel saying it's splashed

(03:53):
as the object goes into the water. The object didn't
look like any known drone, missile or aircraft left and
it left no splash, no wake, no debris, something impossible
to all known physics. It just disappeared beneath the surface,
as if the ocean opened up and swallowed it. Tim

(04:13):
Galadet is a retired US Navy rear admiral who previously
served as acting head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
so he had credentials. He stated that unidentified objects with
unexplained characteristics are entering US water space, and the fact
that the Department of Defense isn't raising a giant red
flag suggests the government isn't sharing everything it knows. Galadet

(04:37):
didn't stop at writing opinion pieces, though. He is so
determined to bring out the truth that he testified before
the US House Oversight Committee in late twenty twenty four.
In his testimony, He said that pilots, credible observers, and
calibrated military instrumentation have recorded objects accelerating at rates and
crossing the air sea interface in ways not possible for

(04:58):
anything made by humans. He described the object's of parent
ability to move seamlessly between air and water as potentially
world changing. That has a strong word choice from someone
with his background. Congressman Timbershett of Tennessee sits on the
House Oversight Committee investigating unidentified aerial phenomena, and he told
CBS News that naval personnel of chased objects underwater moving

(05:22):
hundreds of miles an hour. Those speeds far exceed what
conventional submarines can do. Our most advanced military submarines can
hit roughly forty miles per hour underwater. The objects naval
personneler tracking several times faster. Burshett shared information from a
Navy officer about sightings of strange vessels deep in the water,

(05:43):
with some of these unidentified objects described as the size
of a football field a football field underwater moving at
impossible speeds. The congressmen stated that naval personnel told him
about underwater craft that they're chasing that move at one
hundreds of miles an hour, while the best human technology
manages maybe just a little under forty miles per hour.

(06:06):
The technology gap isn't close. It's enormous. Aeronamic spent years
as a Navy sonar operator. He's noted that unusual, fast
moving contacts or objects occasionally show up on sonar systems,
and he described them as so quick that you can't
measure the speed. When someone whose job involves measuring underwater

(06:27):
speeds says he can't measure something, that's pretty impressive and
terrifying if you don't know how to explain it. The
physics of what these objects reportedly do makes zero sense.
Water is approximately eight hundred times denser than air. The
drag forces and cavitation effects at the speeds being reported
would create massive turbulence and noise signatures that should be

(06:50):
easily detectable. Yet these craft apparently move without conventional propulsion signatures,
no engine noise, no heat signature, nothing that would indicate
and how they're moving through the water. Objects accelerated rates
that would destroy any known aircraft or submarine craft transition
between air and water, without the structural damage that pressure

(07:11):
differentials would cause tri dunking anything into the water at
high speed and watch what happens. The impact alone should
tear most materials apart. The propulsion systems leave no thermal signature,
no exhaust, no visible means of thrust. They just move.
Modern technology didn't create these sightings. People have been reporting

(07:34):
similar encounters for a very long time. Reports of usos
date back to the eleventh century, when witnesses in England
reported seeing a fiery object that revolved, ascended on high
and then descended into the sea. The object kept a
reappearing off the Northumberland coast. Medieval chronicles didn't have the
vocabulary we used today, but they documented what they saw.

(07:58):
Fast forward to eighteen twenty five. English naturalist Andrew Bloxam
was sailing on the HMS Blonde when he witnessed a red,
luminous orb rising from the sea. He wrote to the
object was the color of a red hot cannon shot,
and bright enough that a pin might be picked up
on deck. That's a specific detail from someone trained in
scientific observation. The orb rose and fell twice before vanishing

(08:22):
from sight. He documented what he saw, even though he
couldn't explain it. The accounts spanned continence and centuries. Different cultures,
different time periods, different witness backgrounds, but the descriptions share
common elements. Objects moving between air and water, luminous forms,
speeds that don't match natural phenomena or known technology from

(08:46):
that era. The consistency across time suggests something real, even
if we can't identify what that is. The Department of
Defense walks a careful line with this topic. The All
Domain Anomaly Resolution Office releaset it's twenty twenty four annual report,
stating that it found no verified evidence of extraterrestrial technology.

(09:06):
That's the official position, while hundreds of varial or space
anomalies remain unresolved. The Pentagon is not confirmed any proven
underwater craft of non human origin. Notice the specific wording there.
They're not saying these things don't exist. They're saying they've
not verified them as extraterrestrial. The Office of the Director

(09:27):
of National Intelligence or ODENY, got involved too. In June
twenty one, ODNEY released a preliminary report on UAPs, focusing
largely on evidence gathered over the previous twenty years from
US Navy reports. The conclusion the report came to no
conclusion about what the UAPs were, citing a lack of
sufficient data to determine the nature of mysterious flying objects

(09:49):
observed by military pilots. They couldn't say what these things are.
They couldn't say what they are not. But the report
did acknowledge some unexplainable capabilities. In a limited number of incidents,
UAPs reportedly appeared to exhibit unusual flank characteristics, including high velocity,
breaking the sound barrier without producing a sonic boom, high

(10:11):
maneuverability not able to be replicated otherwise, long duration flight,
and an ability to submerge into the water. That last
part matters for underwater sightings. The government is acknowledging in
official documents that some of these objects can go underwater.
They're not dismissing it, they're just not explaining it. Galadad

(10:34):
points out that humanity knows more about the surface of
Mars than it does about our deep sea. That statement
lands differently when you're talking about thousands of unexplained sightings
in those same unexplored waters. We've mapped Mars in detail,
We've set rovers to drive around and analyze rocks. We've
identified specific minerals and geological features millions of miles away. Meanwhile,

(10:58):
vast stretches of our own ocean floors remain unmapped and unexplored.
The explanations people offer very widely. Some experts speculate that
secret military drones or advanced underwater vehicles could account for
a portion of sightings. That's plausible for some reports. Every
nation with a coastline has an interest in testing underwater

(11:20):
capabilities away from prying eyes, but others insist the speeds
and maneuvers reported go far beyond current human technology. The
gap between what we can build and what witnesses are
describing isn't just a matter of slight technological advancement. It's
a chasm. Enigma's maps continue accumulating data, with thousands of

(11:42):
reports describing objects moving through American waters in ways that
current understanding simply cannot explain. Every week brings new reports.
The clusters on the maps grow, denser, patterns emerge, but
explanations don't. The scale and concentration of underwater sightings rease.
A question that's been around forever but feels more urgent now.

(12:02):
How much of Earth's oceans remain unexplored and what might
be moving beneath them. We've built submarines that can dive
deeper than any living creature. We've developed sonar systems that
can detect a whisper across miles of ocean. We've mapped
shipping lanes and monitored naval movements with satellites and sensors.

(12:24):
Thousands of reports describe encounters with objects that don't fit
any known category. Military personnel with years of training and
access to sophisticated equipment can't identify them. These objects appear
on multiple sensor systems, simultaneously, ruling out simple instrument error
or misidentification. New reports arrive weekly. At Enigma, witnesses continue

(12:47):
filing accounts of what they've seen, and beneath American waters,
something continues to move in ways we can't explain and
at speeds we can't match. Whether that's something represents classified
technology from an their nation, phenomena we haven't yet understood,
or something else entirely, the evidence suggests we're not alone
in the deep. The question isn't whether something is there.

(13:10):
The question is what is it, where is it from?
And what does it mean that we've only just started
paying attention. If you'd like to read this story for
