Unidentified Submerged Objects, or USOs, have long occupied a fascinating, if lesser-known, niche within the broader study of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) or UFOs. While there is no shortage of attention to UFO sightings in the skies, the equally fascinating phenomenon of USOs is often overlooked.
Hidden beneath the waves: the unsung phenomenon
Picture this: you are a diver and you venture into the depths of the Caribbean Sea. Suddenly you find yourself surrounded by a magnetic pull, as if the ocean itself has turned into a vacuum. Nearby fish scatter, the water temperature rises, and you hurriedly ascend to your boat, only to witness a point of light shoot up from the sea and disappear into the sky. Sound like something out of a science fiction novel? It’s not. It is a true account from a witness, and it is far from isolated.
The intriguing case of northwest Puerto Rico
The waters off the west coast of Puerto Rico in particular are a hotbed for USO activities. These reports are not limited to local fishermen or regular boaters, but also include professionals trained to deal with strange situations, such as naval personnel. The sightings have caught the attention of researchers who have been investigating the interaction between UFOs and water, focusing on their physics and how these objects appear to maneuver underwater.
A Story of the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt
Another compelling story comes from the late Chester Grazinski, a young 18-year-old crew member of the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. While sailing in the Caribbean near Cuba in October 1958, Grazinski was called from above to witness an extraordinary event: a white spherical object as large as 75 to 100 feet in diameter floated in the air. As the object approached the ship, it changed from a sphere to a more cigar-like shape. Moreover, Grazinski was convinced that he saw “silhouettes of figures” in the device.

Interestingly enough, the story doesn’t end there. Crew members who spoke about the sighting were mysteriously transferred, and the CIA later boarded the ship under the guise of investigating a non-existent “gambling problem.” Grazinski believed this was a cover-up, and he spent the rest of his life actively communicating with other witnesses.
The continued silence of the Navy
Even more confusing is the continued silence from official sources. One would assume that events of this magnitude would warrant an investigation, especially if they occur near important naval assets. However, these incidents are not only unidentified, but also systematically unrecognized.
Penetrating questions that need answers
Several questions arise when we consider the phenomenon of universal service obligations:
- Where are most of these universal service obligations reported?
- Are there patterns in their activities?
- What are their ostensible goals?
- Are they a threat, or perhaps something else entirely?
Why it matters
While USOs may only represent a fraction of the total UFO reports, they add a compelling dimension to the whole topic of unexplained phenomena. The reality is that we may be on the verge of discovering intelligent, perhaps even advanced, civilizations lurking in the depths of our oceans. And if that is the case, what does that mean for us?
As we attempt to unravel the long-kept secrets of the U.S. Navy and other national security organizations, it is critical to draw attention to this under-researched area. All these witnesses have probably experienced the most dramatic event of their lives, and yet society hardly recognizes their stories.
The study of USOs may not only answer questions about what lies beneath the ocean’s surface, but could also lead us to uncover hidden truths about our planet, our universe, and even ourselves.
So, the next time you gaze out over the vast ocean, think of the unsolved mysteries that lurk beneath those waves. Because understanding the USOs could be the key to unlocking the most extraordinary aspects of existence. Let’s keep fighting the good fight to find out the truth.
