Unidentified Submerged Objects: A Multiyear Analysis of Patterns, Capabilities, and Implications for Long-Term Undersea Surveillance

USOs: A Behavioral Analysis (2026 UAP Summit)

Richard Dolan's presentation from the 2026 UAP Detection and Tracking Summit. This session introduces the underexamined domain of unidentified submerged objects (USOs) through a structured historical and analytical overview. Drawing from documented encounters across decades, Richard Dolan will outline what the historical record suggests about the scope, persistence, and behavioral parameters of USO activity, including interactions with human maritime vessels. The session is designed to define the “what” of the USO problem space—establishing context and boundaries—while preparing the ground for subsequent scientific and technological discussions on future monitoring, detection, and ocean-domain sensing. Moderated by Reed Summers - Host of the EMERGENT Podcast, Director of Strategy at the Human Institute.

He offers thought-provoking insights and comprehensive analysis of UFOs/UAPs, exploring sightings, government cover-ups, and the ongoing push for disclosure. Richard's work provides crucial context by connecting the UFO subject to broader social, political, and technological developments, making him unique among researchers. Dolan is the author of several groundbreaking books. His massive two-volume history, UFOs and the National Security State, has permanently altered our understanding of UFO history and government secrecy. In A.D. After Disclosure (co-authored), he speculates on the profound societal changes if extraterrestrial life were publicly acknowledged. UFOs for the 21st Century Mind: The Definitive Guide to the UFO Mystery serves as an updated, single-volume overview, incorporating recent developments and critical context, essential for both beginners and experienced researchers. He also uniquely analyzes the beings behind the phenomenon in The Alien Agendas, and his latest, A History of USOs: Unidentified Submerged Objects, meticulously documents mysterious objects observed in bodies of water.
