Covert Global Underwater Recovery: A Multi-Agency Effort to Locate Advanced Craft and Probe Their Origins

To the point

It describes a secret, global U.S. effort to locate and recover advanced underwater craft of unknown origin using deep-submergence vehicles, coordinated by the CIA’s maritime division, the Navy, the National Underwater Reconnaissance Office, and SOCOM, with the Office of Naval Research directing transfer to defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution providing the submersibles, and with recovered objects sent to secure facilities for analysis to determine provenance and capabilities, including possible extraterrestrial origins, all supported by a worldwide network that enables rapid operations and secrecy, while public interest is fed by coverage on the Weaponized podcast with Jeremy Corbell, George Knapp, and Christopher Sharp and talk of hearings led by ASAPO’s Matt Aitken, underscoring data-sharing challenges and the aim of maritime security and potential reverse engineering, though the true origins remain contested.
