NGOs. Puerto Rico

In 1963, the U.S. Navy conducted another drill, this time off the coast of Puerto Rico. They were attended by five escort ships, the aircraft carrier "Wasp", as well as several submarines. In addition, the exercise involved aircraft, and at least one of them at low level flight towed behind him on a rope a device for detecting submarines. It was in the surface layer, almost just below the water surface. According to reports, the submarines manoeuvred in the area in the "silent stroke".

All of a sudden there was something exceptional; at least, as far as I can tell, it all started in the following way.

Technician hydrophone at one of escorts transferred to the bridge that one of the submarines had violated the order and, obviously, was to pursue some unknown goal. The operator, of course, did not know whether it was a "trap" scheme, because the purpose of the exercise was to simulate the detection of ships "enemy", and in exercises of this kind are always used "trap". However, the dispatch operator has put all in deadlock.

The fact that the specified unidentified underwater object was travelling at over 150 knots! Officer of the deck in the wheelhouse immediately reported this to the commander of the ship, and that, in turn, contacted the flagship - the aircraft carrier "Wasp." Imagine his disappointment when he heard all the other ships and aircraft, sonar surveillance, literally interrupting each other, I hasten to inform you about the same out of the ordinary fact. At least, 13 watch the logs submarines and aircraft borgomale there was a record about what they hydroacoustics detected "ultramicroscopy underwater vehicle".

Relevant reports about all of this was immediately dispatched to the commander of the Atlantic fleet of the U.S. Navy in Norfolk, Virginia. Officers, technical experts and other participants in the exercise aboard ships, claim that they personally saw on the screens signals; all in one voice and declare that, according to the nature of these signals, an unidentified object had a single screw, or some similar characteristic, the device and the speed was about 150 knots! Currently, the maximum speed of submarines in submerged position does not exceed 45 knots.

But that's not all. According to reports, hydroacoustics for four days had the opportunity to follow the signals of this mysterious object. However, he maneuvered within a large area and was immersed to a depth of 20 thousand feet. Meanwhile, the record depth for a standard submarine is about 6 thousand feet. The absolute record for diving is about 35, 800 feet - belongs to deep-sea apparatus - the bathyscaphe Trieste and was raised in the Pacific in 1960. However, the "Trieste" independently almost can not move horizontally. In other words, the mysterious object (judging by the fact that the record is simply inconceivable at the current level of technological development) must literally belong to another world. What was it?
