Aquatic NHI
The connection between unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and aquatic environments has long fascinated researchers. Reports of unidentified submerged objects (USOs) and alleged underwater alien bases have emerged worldwide, hinting at a possible link between extraterrestrial phenomena and Earth’s vast water bodies. The ocean, known as “the great blue,” is central to theories about underwater alien bases, with its vast, mysterious depths providing a plausible hiding place for advanced non-human intelligences (NHIs). Reports of unidentified submerged objects (USOs) seamlessly navigating the ocean’s waters add weight to the connection, suggesting the possibility of advanced technologies adapted to aquatic environments.
Lake Baikal in Siberia, the world’s deepest freshwater lake, has been a hotspot for UFO and USO sightings. One notable account from 1982 involves Soviet military divers reportedly encountering humanoid beings in shiny suits beneath the lake’s surface. Attempts to capture these entities allegedly led to a violent confrontation, resulting in injuries and fatalities among the divers. Though controversial, this story has become a focal point in discussions about underwater alien encounters.
In various accounts, certain extraterrestrial beings, such as the Grays typified by the entity known as J-Rod, are described as having skin adapted for aquatic environments. Their skin is often likened to that of dolphins—smooth, non-porous, and rubbery—suggesting an evolutionary adaptation to minimize drag and enhance movement through water. This texture is also observed in other marine animals like whales and porpoises, whose sleek skin aids in efficient swimming. Such descriptions imply that these beings may have evolved in or adapted to aquatic habitats, reflecting the influence of environmental factors on physiological traits.
The hypothesis of underwater UFO bases and non-human intelligence (NHI)-operated mining and construction facilities in the ocean’s depths is not merely speculative fiction; it is supported by intriguing evidence that hints at its plausibility. Satellite imagery and deep-sea exploration have occasionally revealed anomalous structures and patterns on the ocean floor that defy conventional geological explanation.
Off the coast of Malibu, California, an underwater structure known as the “Malibu Anomaly” has captured the imagination of UFO researchers. Identified via Google Earth, the formation spans approximately three miles and features a flat top with what appear to be columns or supports. While some believe this structure to be an alien base, geological studies suggest it is likely a natural formation shaped by erosion and seismic activity.
In the Gulf of Mexico, residents of Ciudad Madero and Tampico in Mexico hold a strong belief in the existence of an interdimensional underwater base called Amupac. Since 1967, the region has reportedly been spared from hurricanes, a phenomenon some attribute to magnetic fields supposedly created by extraterrestrial beings.
Puffin Island in Wales has also been linked to aquatic UFO activity. Numerous reports of strange lights entering and exiting the sea around the island have fueled theories of an underwater alien base. In early 1974, witnesses described solid objects emerging from the water, and some abductees have claimed their captors identified themselves as originating from beneath the sea near Puffin Island.
Lake Ontario in Canada has had its share of intriguing reports. In December 2013, a Hamilton resident observed glowing orbs over the lake, sparking speculation about an underwater alien base. Earlier, in August 1981, five witnesses reported seeing a dome-shaped craft descending into the water. Such accounts have only strengthened the theory of extraterrestrial activity in the depths of Lake Ontario.
Guadalupe Island, located approximately 150 miles off Baja California, Mexico, has garnered attention for reports of Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) and alleged underwater bases. Notably, during the 2004 USS Nimitz incident, naval personnel observed objects performing extraordinary maneuvers, including rapid descents from high altitudes to just above the ocean’s surface near the island. Local fishermen and sailors have also reported mysterious lights and objects emerging from the waters around Guadalupe Island, leading to speculation that the island is a hub for USOs. These accounts have led to speculation about the existence of underwater bases or hidden structures in the area.
More recently, in November 2024, Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert raised the topic of underwater alien bases during a House Oversight subcommittee hearing. She questioned UFO experts, including retired Navy Rear Admiral Dr. Tim Gallaudet and former Department of Defense official Luis Elizondo, about secretive Pentagon projects and UAP-related phenomena. Journalist Michael Shellenberger added fuel to the fire by claiming that the Pentagon may be withholding information about UAPs frequently observed in oceanic environments.
In aquatic environments, sonar operators have detected large, unidentified objects moving through the water, producing strange, unidentifiable sonar returns and loud, unusual noises. Some researchers suggest these sounds may be related to the propulsion systems of UFOs or UAPs, while others propose they could serve as forms of communication or navigation. The analysis of these sounds has revealed complex audio signals with rapid changes in frequency, hinting at advanced technology possibly utilizing Earth’s magnetic field for navigation or propulsion.
The Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) is a network of acoustic sensors, including hydrophones, designed to monitor underwater activities and detect submarines. If Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) or Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) were present in the oceans, it’s plausible that the IUSS could detect them, provided these entities emit detectable acoustic signatures. However, the effectiveness of detection would depend on the nature of these signatures and the system’s sensitivity.
The Glomar Explorer, built under Howard Hughes’ mining cover story, was actually a CIA front for the covert recovery of the Soviet submarine K-129 from 16,500 feet in the Pacific. While its official mission focused on Cold War intelligence, some theories propose the ship may have also been involved in recovering unidentified submerged objects (USOs) or investigating underwater anomalies.
In a discussion with Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel, Jeremy Corbell emphasized the transmedium capabilities of certain UAPs, describing spherical objects captured on thermal imaging that appeared self-illuminated and descended into the ocean without resistance. This seamless movement between air and water and space challenges conventional physics and showcases their ability to operate effortlessly underwater.
In classical mythology, particularly in Plato’s accounts, the inhabitants of Atlantis were depicted as a powerful and advanced civilization. Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, portray the Atlanteans as a formidable naval power with impressive architecture and technology. Modern adaptations and interpretations, Atlanteans are often imagined as possessing aquatic characteristics. These creative reimagining frequently include abilities such as breathing underwater or communicating with marine life, transforming them into beings closely tied to the oceanic environment.
Researchers have identified several genes and genetic pathways that play essential roles in the development of gills in fish and other aquatic organisms. These genes are part of a conserved genetic toolkit that governs the formation of pharyngeal arches, the embryonic structures that develop into gills in fish. In terrestrial vertebrates, including humans, these same arches are repurposed to form other structures such as the jaw, throat, and ears, highlighting the shared evolutionary origins of these species.
Hox genes are crucial for the development of segmented body structures, including the pharyngeal arches. In fish, specific Hox genes guide the formation of gills, while in humans, these genes have been adapted for the development of parts of the jaw, throat, and ears. Another important pathway, the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) signaling pathway, is essential for the growth and patterning of tissues in the pharyngeal region during embryogenesis. In fish, FGF signaling directly supports the development of gills, while in humans, it aids in the formation of other structures derived from the same embryonic origins.
Endothelin genes, which play a critical role in the development of craniofacial structures, are also key players in the formation of gill-supporting cartilaginous and vascular structures in fish. Similarly, Pax genes regulate early developmental processes and guide the differentiation of gill structures in aquatic organisms, though they serve different purposes in terrestrial vertebrates. Another gene, Tbx1, is integral to the growth and patterning of pharyngeal arches in fish, where it supports gill development, while in humans, it contributes to the formation of structures such as the thymus and components of the neck. The Bone Morphogenetic Protein (Bmp) signaling pathway, known for its role in tissue differentiation and organogenesis, helps sculpt the gill structures in aquatic species and analogous structures in terrestrial vertebrates.
In humans, these genetic pathways remain active during early embryonic development but are repurposed for other critical functions. For example, the pharyngeal arches in human embryos evolve into the bones of the inner ear, parts of the hyoid bone, and the thymus. This evolutionary repurposing illustrates how genes initially associated with gill development in fish have been conserved and adapted to meet the needs of terrestrial life.
While much is known about the genes and pathways involved, ongoing research continues to explore the detailed mechanisms by which these genes interact and are regulated. Comparative studies across species, such as between fish and amphibians or mammals, provide valuable insights into how these genes have been conserved, modified, and repurposed through evolution. Genes like Hox, FGF, Endothelin, Pax, Tbx1, and components of the Bmp pathway are not only vital to understanding gill development in aquatic organisms but also offer a fascinating glimpse into the shared genetic heritage of vertebrates and the evolutionary adaptability of life.
Cryptozoology is the study of creatures whose existence is unverified by mainstream science, often rooted in folklore and anecdotal accounts. A significant focus within this field is on aquatic cryptids—mysterious beings reported in various water bodies worldwide. Notable examples include the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, Champ in North America’s Lake Champlain, and Ogopogo in Canada’s Okanagan Lake. Researchers in cryptozoology examine these accounts, seeking evidence to determine whether such creatures might exist beyond myth and legend.
From theories of underwater alien bases to genetic insights into aquatic adaptations, the mysteries of Earth’s oceans provide a compelling backdrop for exploring the unknown. Whether rooted in mythology, modern interpretations, or scientific inquiry, the idea of advanced beings interacting with aquatic environments challenges our understanding of both terrestrial evolution and the potential for extraterrestrial life. The depths of the oceans, much like the vastness of space, remain largely unexplored, holding secrets that may one day redefine humanity’s place in the cosmos.
