Russia Declassifies Naval Encounters with UFOs/USOs
http://www.thetechherald.com/article...UFO-encounters
The Russian navy is the latest to join the bandwagon of world official agencies anxious to declassify its encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). According to Svobodnaya Pressa news website, records of unexplained encounters by submarines and ships of the Russian navy have been revealed to the public for the very first time. Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian UFO researcher, told Russia Today of a peculiar characteristic of UFOs, never before revealed to the general public - that they (UFOs) apparently enjoy water. “Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said to RT. Following in a similar vein to recently-released NASA encounters with UFOs, the Russian records reveal an unexplained encounter a nuclear submarine had with six unknown objects underwater. After failing to get away from the UFOs, the captain allegedly gave the order to surface. The mysterious objects followed suit, then took off, according to the records. Retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov was quoted by RT as saying many unexplained phenomena occured in the now-infamous Bermuda Triangle. “On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed," he said. "Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph." "Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said. The released records also show large UFO activity around and in Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. RT again reports of one encounter in lurid detail: "In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at 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." “I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Vladimir Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.” |

Apparently someone has not been careful testing prototypes
![]() As far as aliens are concerned, well... |

Depends on when they started travelling.

I have to agree that the time/distance thing is quite prohibitive to space travel.
Unless there is some alternative as in 'folding space' even traveling at or beyond the speed of light the distances involved are prohibative. I think the key phrase in the OP paragraph is "They have decided to join the bandwagon" ... party on have fun but dont take it too seriously ![]()

Made me chuckle
![]() In any case, maybe they stick near water because they believe that there will be signs of intelligent life there? Surely it can't be any intelligent species on land ![]()

Is there a game in all of this?
"USSR Battles UFO/Sea Monsters" "UFO Submarines Stop WWIII" "UFO Hidden Submarine Base" addon Well there was this one time back in 68 in the Med when we hit something metal against metal ... no contacts , no biologistics depth 200' USS Ethan Allen SSBN 608 blue crew in 2,000 feet of water. Captain comes to periscope depth and takes a look around, no contacts. Patrol over send down divers, yes you have a scrape down your port side The only thing we could figure out is that it might have been an old ship sunk in WWII with air trapped inside and doomed to float 200' under the Med till who knows for how long ...

That is a good point, however, remember that traveling 100 lightyears
distance may take 150 years in a very, very fast vehicle, but that is a 150 years from a stationary perspective. It's much less time for the people in the vehicle as time slows down for you as you move very fast. If you can move just below light speed then a journey of 1000 light years distance will take very, very little time for the people traveling at such speed. The only inconvenience being that over 1000 years time will have passed from the relatively stationary starting position. So long as you can accelerate fast enough and reach a near-light speed; you can go anywhere in the universe within any time (say an hour). The price to pay is that your relatively static start point will have had many, may years pass in your high speed hour. Ed: I don't mean this as an argument for the existance of alien UFOs.

Interesting
![]() One thing that bugs me is whenever someone mentions UFO's everyone just goes ![]() ![]() And we are to believe that we are the only example of intelligent life? We are a very young species, there is nothing to say that in the long life of the universe there isn't a species or many species that may have cracked quantum physics and created machines capable of bridging the immense distances between the stars. Wormholes/Warp drive are all sound theories, we just don't have the technical prowess or knowledge to create them... perhaps somone out there has? One thing that would puzzle me, is why would such an advanced race even want to come to this backwater planet (if they have)? We are pretty barbaric still, killing each other for petty little things like money or power.. we can't even mix with each other properly because we believe in make-belief God's or don't like the colour of their skin, whilst killing the very planet we live on because it would "cost" too much to impliment the drastic changes to our economies and lifestyles... We have quite a way to go before I think someone would stop and take notice of us... ![]() PS: And before anyone asks, there are no green men on Mars... its a dead world the only chance of finding life would be frozen bacteria in the polar regions. ![]()
