USOs The Forgotten UFOs
Episode summary

On this March 28, 2023 episode of the Richard Dolan Show, UFO historian Richard Dolan presented a comprehensive investigation into USOs (unidentified submersible objects), drawing from hundreds of cases he has researched over the past year. Dolan opened with the revelation that 70% of Earth is water and most USO encounters go unreported due to military classification protocols, making this phenomenon significantly under-recognized despite substantial evidence. The episode systematically documented USO cases spanning from 1879 to 2019, focusing on remarkably consistent patterns including massive rotating luminous wheels observed in strategic shipping choke points like the Strait of Hormuz and Strait of Malacca. Dolan highlighted a December 2020 confirmation from a senior intelligence official that US military systems have detected non-cavitational, extremely fast-moving underwater objects, and that the UAP Task Force showed particular interest in transmedium vehicles. Notable cases included a 2017 Gulf of Mexico sighting where offshore vessel crew witnessed a 1,000-foot craft emerge from the water and disappear at extraordinary speed, and a 2008 Nova Scotia incident where three triangular objects surfaced sequentially. Dolan also revealed potential connections between the Davis-Wilson notes and witnesses involved with a TRW program called Zodiac. He emphasized that the lack of official documentation stems from fewer civilian witnesses rather than absence of the phenomenon, and concluded that an advanced intelligence appears to be operating extensively in Earth's oceans with capabilities far exceeding human technology, possibly maintaining underwater bases in locations including the Black Sea, Caribbean, and off Catalina Island.

Senior Intelligence Official Confirms Fast Moving Underwater Objects Detected by US Military

A senior intelligence community member with decades of responsibility for underwater surveillance programs confirmed to The Debrief in December 2020 that US military systems have detected extremely fast-moving underwater objects that leave no wake. The official indicated the UAP Task Force showed particular interest in transmedium vehicles capable of operating both underwater and in the atmosphere, a capability that exceeds known human technology.

US Navy Crew Reports 1000 Foot Object Emerging from Gulf of Mexico in 2017

The chief engineer of an offshore supply vessel reported to the National UFO Reporting Center that he and four crew members witnessed a massive oval craft, estimated at over 1,000 feet long, emerge from the Gulf of Mexico 80 miles from Louisiana in March 2017. Peter Davenport, who runs the center, described the witness as unusually sober-minded and a very reliable witness, estimating 50 people on nearby vessels may have seen the same event.

Three Triangle Shaped UFOs Emerge from Water Off Nova Scotia Witnessed in Real Time

Witnesses near the English Town Ferry in Nova Scotia reported in real-time to researcher Brian Vike in February 2008 that three large triangular objects, each approximately 200 feet long, emerged sequentially from the water, hovered, then ascended and appeared to merge into one object before disappearing 80 miles north within one minute. The present-tense nature of the report suggests it was filed via mobile device as the event unfolded.

Systematic Pattern of Luminous Underwater Wheel Phenomena Documented Across Century in Strategic Choke Points

UFO researcher Richard Dolan presented multiple naval reports from 1879 through 1949 documenting remarkably consistent sightings of massive rotating luminous wheels, 1,000 to 1,500 feet in diameter, appearing underwater in strategic shipping lanes including the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and Strait of Malacca. The phenomenon showed identical characteristics across decades and locations, with no scientific consensus explanation despite the pattern suggesting artificial rather than natural origin.

Davis Wilson Notes May Reference TRW Employee Involvement in UFO Program Called Zodiac

Richard Dolan revealed that lawyer Jeffrey Griffith and TRW employee Mary Elizabeth Elliott, who witnessed a USO emerge from water near Catalina Island and were stopped by unusual police, may be referenced in the Davis-Wilson notes. Dolan suggests the notes indicate Elliott's employment at TRW involved a UFO-related group known as Zodiac, potentially discussed by Eric Davis with Admiral Thomas Wilson.
