During the Cold War the US and Soviet navies were encountering strange sounds from the ocean floor off the coast of Norway. Both superpowers went to great lengths to hide their submarines and detect submarines on the other side and as a result there were huge advances in the technology needed to hear any signals from the depths of the ocean. As a result both navies heard some unusual things.
Beginning in the mid-1970s, Soviet submarine crews began reporting strange sounds in the waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans. They were driven mad by “Quackers,” unexplained and unidentified underwater objects that moved underwater at speeds of 200 kilometers per hour.
NATO assumed that it was Soviet submarines making the noises until finally one of the Soviet Navy commanders asked the Norwegians to capture at least one “Quacker” for him at all costs and promised to reward the Norwegians for this.
In 1991, the U.S. submarine detection system picked up two unidentified signals at once in the Pacific Ocean. Scientists dubbed one “Upsweep” and the other “Whistle.” Neither could be identified. “Upsweep appeared every spring and fall and its source was in the middle of the ocean, and Whistle was heard only once.”
In 1997, the U.S. military and ocean explorers were alarmed by a strange signal that was nicknamed “Bloop.” The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recorded it roughly triangulated to a remote point in the South Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South America, and the sound was detected several times by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Autonomous Hydrophone Array.
The bloop was heard over 3,000 miles away and was several times louder than the blue whale, the loudest sound made by an underwater animal known to man. It was so strange that oceanologists began to joke that it was Cthulhu, a fictional cosmic entity created by writer H.P. Lovecraft. Beyond that, scientists couldn’t figure out what it was. It sounded like it was made by a gigantic living creature.
NASA scientists have finally come to the conclusion that these are supposed glaciers rubbing against the ocean floor. Oregon State University seismologist Robert Dziak confirmed that the Bloop was simply an ice quake.
During the Soviet era, it was restricted to talk about UFOs and ONIs, but when it disintegrated, some files emerged with shocking information about alien craft. The declassified documents said that the Russian Navy found these unidentified objects to be technologically superior to terrestrial vehicles.
One of the undated reports was of a Soviet nuclear submarine encountering a formation of six alien spacecraft in the South Pacific Ocean. At a depth of 260 meters, the six disc-like objects were moving toward the submarine at a speed of 426 km per hour. The crew was unable to escape their pursuit, and the commander ordered the crew to surface. The crew saw through the periscope that the objects emerged from the water and took off at an absurdly fast speed.
According to former nuclear submarine commander Yury Beketov, many mysterious events also occurred in the Bermuda Triangle region. Devices failed for no apparent reason. He believed that UFOs were behind this.
“We have repeatedly observed that devices record the movement of material objects at unimaginable speeds. We have measured some speeds – they are about 230 knots (400 km per hour). Such speed is difficult to create in the depths of the ocean, only in the air. But there is a gigantic resistance in the water. As if the laws of physics do not apply to these objects. There is only one conclusion: the creatures that created these material objects significantly surpass us in development,” Beketov said.
Another Navy intelligence captain Igor Barclay said that unidentified underwater objects were seen in places where the Russian Navy and NATO fleet are concentrated. He said: “These are the Bahamas and Bermuda, Puerto Rico. Especially UFOs are seen in the deepest region of the Atlantic – in the southern Bermuda Triangle and in the Caribbean.”
Whatever the case, something strange has been detected over the years in the oceans. There has been a flurry of high-profile claims about US Navy nuclear submarines detecting and even interacting with USOs.
The Drive writes: “Tom DeLonge, once the frontman of rock group Blink 182, has become the leader of To The Stars Academy, a flashy new hybrid entertainment-technology research group that focuses on spreading information about UFOs, claiming without any evidence that ‘a few years ago, an unidentified craft was submerged and pinned against the North Atlantic coast by several nuclear attack submarines for more than a week.’”
Stories of extraterrestrial activity at Baikal – surrounded by mountains and containing a fifth of the world’s unfrozen freshwater – relate to alleged aliens seen by military divers in its depths and large “spaceships” hovering over its grey, moody expanses.
Some of the images here show what two photographers claimed were UFOs buzzing over the lake while others are mock-ups based on descriptions of an incident in Kudara-Somon, Buryatia, exactly a quarter of a century ago.

All over the world there are many places and especially lakes that are supposedly the hot spots of objects that can fly and dive into the water. Is it possible that there is some unknown civilization living beneath our oceans and lakes?
