At last! Some post-Soviet documents the world can really sink its teeth into! Enough of this people-who-the-KGB-tried-to-assassinate nonsense: The Russian Navy has declassified its records of encounters with UFOs.

Most of the planet is water, so it stands to reason that many — in point of fact, half — of Soviet and Russian encounters with UFOs came at sea. The crews of Russian warships and fishing vessels apparently reported seeing lights underwater and ships moving over the surface at fantastic speeds. And the encounters got even closer than that:

In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at [Lake] Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured.

Hardly sporting of those aliens.

When can we expect the U.S. Navy to declassify its records about encounters with UFOs?

    The Russians did not reveal anything new. For years, I have been publishing reports smuggled (during the Soviet times) from the USSR; obtained from Russian and CIS researchers (after 1989); or published in the Russian and CIS media. I am fluent in Russian and Ukrainian, and have been pursuing Russian-Eurasian paranormal research for years.
    Here is proof.

    The sister Services, Army, USAF and CIA, DIA and NSA have released UFO files as have the British, Danes, French, Brazilians, Australians and even Uruguayans. Now the Russians. It seems the US Navy’s turn. What specifically? For starters:

    1. WWII study of ususual radar returns.
    2. 4th AF documents concerning with air intrusion of Hanford, Navy radar and aircraft assets tasked to intercept same
    3. About 50 AAF and Navy documents formerly TS and below refer to an equal number of other documents on the Scandinavian Ghost Rockets
    4. A small amount of Navy documents in the USAF Project Blue Book files refer to other Navy documents not seen
    5. AIR 203 was a Joint TS USAF/Navy study of UFOs. Yet Navy claims no records
    6. BurAero analysis of AF document released not by Navy but DOD.
    7. In 1951 Dr. Urner Liddel ONR claims after studying 2000 cases that UFOs are Skyhook balloons (USAF does even have 2000 cases in 1951. What does ONR have?
    8. Korean War radar cases in OP322V, OP322V2 and COMNAVFE. (Some incomplete reports this era in Project BB)
    9. Navy Sec Dan Kimball set UFO project in ONI in 1952
    10. CIA document enumerating intel asset dedicated to UFOs refers to analyst in ONI
    11. The old Hydrographic office was a published source of reports for the US Navy, merchant shipping and aircraft over waters. These were not investigated?
    12. Large resevoir of “war stories” by old Navy salts, esp., aircrews and radar operators and other CIC personnel.

    Further, Project Blue Book record indicate numerous contacts thru Air Attaches with foreign govt on UFOs. Naval Attaches have not such contacts even with Navies that UFO significant UFO incidents or Navy UFO project, Argentina, other incidents Chile, Brazil?
    In reviews for the Clinton Executive Order declassifying
    records over 25 years old, Army and AF comes up with hundreds of UFO documents even though these were not specifically required for index. The Navy nada.
    “We do not investigate UFOs.”
    “We do not keep records filed for such a topic as UFOs.”
    “If we had any records on UFOs, they were destroyed.”
    “If we had any records on UFOs, we transferred them to the USAF.”
    The dog eat my home work. Lost at sea!
