An unidentified underwater object (USO) or Underwater UFO knocked out power to the ship and affected all systems. The crew was stranded for 4 hours in the Pacific Ocean, 175 miles northeast of the tip of New Zealand’s North Island.
The mysterious incident took place in 1987 and was recently recalled by Kevin Knuth, former NASA researcher, and current physics professor at the University at Albany, who spoke at the Sol Foundation’s inaugural symposium dedicated to unidentified anomalous phenomena.
During his presentation, Knuth addressed what, as a physicist, he perceives as anomalous in the objects reported by the US Navy. For example, the fact that they moved from 28,000 feet to sea level in just 0.78 seconds.
«The mathematics of this is amazing. One can estimate a minimum acceleration of 5,000 Gs, that is, 5,000 times the acceleration of gravity. “No human can survive that, nor can most teams,” he said. “The wings of an F-35 would break at about 13 Gs.”
«And the energy required for that, estimating the mass of the object at one-tenth that of an F-18, would be equivalent to 1,100 gigawatts. “That’s 10 times the nuclear energy produced in the US.”
But these objects were not only seen descending to sea level but also entering it, showing “transmedial” characteristics that defy physics. As an example, Knuth brought up a curious case that occurred in February 1987, when the frigate HMNZS Southland was followed by a USO 150 feet (46 meters) wide and 800 feet (244 meters) long.
The USO allegedly closed a 20km distance to HMNZS Southland in 30 seconds while underwater.
“In addition to being 30% larger than a Typhoon-class submarine – the largest in the world – this object moved underwater at a maximum speed of 3,000 mph, with a minimum acceleration of 4.5 Gs,” detailed the physicist. .
According to sonar operator David Barnett, the mysterious underwater object passed beneath the ship and knocked out all power to the ship. The crew was stranded for 4 hours in the Pacific Ocean, 175 miles northeast of the tip of New Zealand’s North Island, and had to wait for a passing fishing vessel to request help and be rescued.
«This is very strange. Because just as UFOs don’t seem to interact with air, USOs don’t seem to be affected by the resistance of water. However, sonar could pick it up. And sonar works by pressure waves hitting the ship and bouncing back. So if a pressure wave can interact with the ship, why does the ship appear to not be interacting with the water when it is moving through it? “Maybe we don’t understand how they move at all,” he concluded.
