Whistleblower on Unidentified Submerged Phenomena (USP) Program

The 4chan post allegedly describes a firsthand account from an anonymous individual claiming to have worked in Naval Intelligence from 2012 to 2023. This whistleblower states that they were involved in an unidentified submerged phenomena (USP) program focused on advanced underwater detection systems. The program was a collaborative effort between the Department of Defense and major defense contractors. Their primary responsibility was analyzing sonar data to detect anomalous underwater activity.

According to the post, the program’s mission was to investigate unexplained objects emerging from specific underwater locations, referred to as “threshold points.” The whistleblower, who claims to hold a PhD in oceanographic engineering, asserts that these objects are not linked to U.S. military experiments, foreign adversaries, or extraterrestrial origins. Instead, they insist that the objects originate from Earth’s subterranean and underwater regions.

A Ph.D. in Ocean Engineering is a legitimate and well-established academic program offered by several prestigious institutions, including the University of New Hampshire, the University of Rhode Island, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). These programs integrate engineering principles with ocean science, allowing students to specialize in areas such as hydrodynamics, underwater robotics, offshore structures, and ocean acoustics.

The post details how nuclear submarines equipped with next-generation quantum sonar arrays tracked these objects moving in ways that defied known physics. The objects ascended and descended at angles of 75-90 degrees, maintained constant velocity, and exhibited no cavitation or detectable acoustic signatures. These movements, which took place at depths well below the crush depth of modern submarines (around 2,400 feet), were observed repeatedly.

It is believed that Russia’s Borei-class submarines are equipped with the “Irtysh-Amphora-B-055” sonar system, which reportedly surpasses the capabilities of U.S. Ohio and Virginia-class submarines. There is ongoing research into quantum sonar arrays, which aim to enhance underwater detection capabilities by leveraging quantum technologies. For instance, the Royal Navy has successfully tested a new quantum sensing technology designed for underwater detection. Conducted off the coast of Plymouth aboard HMS Magpie, the trials aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this quantum-sensing system in identifying submerged objects. The technology leverages ultra-cold atoms to measure subtle variations in the Earth’s magnetic field, which indicate underwater objects. This method allows for the detection of items that traditional sonar systems might miss, enhancing the precision of underwater surveys.

By 2014, the USP program reportedly identified consistent emergence points where clusters of these objects appeared, including locations such as the Puerto Rico Trench, California’s continental shelf, and the East Pacific Rise. The whistleblower suggests that while their team could determine where these objects were coming from, their exact nature remained unknown. The account implies that significant underwater phenomena remain unexplained and potentially linked to secretive or non-human activity.

Puerto Rico is known as a hotspot. The 2013 Aguadilla, Puerto Rico UAP incident occurred when a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) aircraft captured footage of a cylindrical object flying over the ocean. The object exhibited unusual flight characteristics, lacked visible propulsion, and was undetected by conventional radar. The FAA investigated but could not identify it. he Bermuda Triangle, spanning Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, is infamous for mysterious shipwrecks, aircraft disappearances, and unexplained phenomena. Some believe these events stem from natural occurrences like rogue waves and methane gas eruptions, while others suggest extraterrestrial interference, time warps, or remnants of an ancient civilization like Atlantis. Puerto Rico, as a key point in the Triangle, has been central to these theories, with reports of strange lights and disappearances linked to its deep trench waters.

The follow-up post expands on the initial claims regarding unidentified submerged phenomena, describing the objects’ physical properties as highly anomalous and potentially alarming. According to the whistleblower, these objects possess the ability to alter their structure and manipulate electromagnetic fields to mimic real aircraft, replicating their shape, motion, and reflective properties. However, advanced quantum sonar technology revealed their true, unchanging forms, suggesting that their transformations might be superficial or based on an unknown mechanism.

The whistleblower also describes a dramatic increase in activity over the past two years, culminating in a heightened level of secrecy by mid-2023. They recount how their access to key data was suddenly restricted, with their superiors appearing visibly concerned. The classification of information became more stringent, and senior analysts were quietly removed from the program. As information was increasingly withheld, the whistleblower realized that they were being cut off and decided to leave before becoming completely sidelined.

The post continues to assert that the unidentified objects are neither extraterrestrial nor classified military technology. Instead, the whistleblower claims that these entities have been present on Earth far longer than humanity and that their activities have been escalating at an alarming rate. Before the whistleblower’s access to data was cut off, their final analysis indicated an exponential increase in emergence events, suggesting that whatever these objects are doing, they are approaching a critical threshold.

Further observations suggest that these objects are not moving randomly but are engaged in systematic mapping and surveillance. They appear to be focusing on key locations, including infrastructure, military installations, and population centers, conducting comprehensive reconnaissance while seamlessly blending into their surroundings. The post describes their ability to disguise themselves as conventional aerial objects, such as drones or airliners, yet beneath these facades, their true nature remains entirely different. This assertion raises the possibility that these entities operate using an advanced form of camouflage or shape-shifting technology, allowing them to remain undetected while they execute a highly organized agenda.

The post confirms that the whistleblower’s team collaborated with NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), particularly their ocean exploration division. This partnership provided crucial environmental monitoring and data collection that helped establish baseline acoustic signatures to differentiate natural underwater phenomena from unidentified submerged objects. However, the whistleblower expresses frustration with PMEL, suggesting that working with them was cumbersome or bureaucratic.

Founded in 1973, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) is an established federal research laboratory. The laboratory conducts interdisciplinary scientific investigations in oceanography and atmospheric science to enhance understanding of complex physical and geochemical processes in the world’s oceans, particularly the Pacific. PMEL’s research areas include climate dynamics, ocean acidification, and tsunami detection. The main facilities are located in Seattle, Washington, with additional sites in Newport, Oregon.

The whistleblower explains that the Mediterranean’s average depth of around 1,500 meters lacks the conditions typically associated with these emergence zones. However, they speculate that if people in Europe or Africa report seeing similar objects, it is likely because these entities traveled from known Atlantic threshold points, particularly the Puerto Rico Trench, before moving eastward across the ocean. This suggests that the phenomenon is not localized but follows specific migratory or operational pathways across the globe.

The post provides further details on the observed “true forms” of the unidentified submerged objects detected using quantum sonar. According to the whistleblower, two primary configurations were consistently recorded. The most common shape was an oblong spheroid, resembling the widely discussed “tic-tac” form. The second configuration was a perfect sphere, typically measuring between 5 to 8 meters in diameter. Despite their various visual appearances—whether resembling drones, aircraft, or other objects—their quantum acoustic signatures always reverted to one of these two fundamental shapes. The whistleblower notes that the spherical form was more frequently detected in deep-water operations, while the tic-tac shape was predominantly observed during transitions from water to air.

When asked about the biological effects of these objects, particularly their impact on marine life near their exit points, the whistleblower states that sea creatures appeared completely unaffected by their presence. This lack of response was so unusual, considering how even the quietest submarines typically send marine life scattering. In contrast, these objects seemed to blend seamlessly into the environment, almost as if they were part of the coral, suggesting an ability to avoid disrupting natural ecosystems in a way that remains unexplained.

The post reiterates the whistleblower’s timeline, role, and background, emphasizing that the locations and technical specifications they provided can be verified by those with the appropriate knowledge. They suggest that anyone interested should examine public NOAA bathymetric data, particularly focusing on threshold points around the western slope of the Puerto Rico Trench, specifically between 2020 and 2022. According to the whistleblower, while this data is publicly available, NOAA does not actively highlight the anomalous readings that might be present.

NOAA’s bathymetric data encompasses detailed information about underwater topography, including the depth and shape of ocean and lake floors. This data is collected using various methods such as multibeam and single-beam sonar systems, as well as LiDAR technology. The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) serves as the repository for this extensive collection, offering access through interactive tools like the Bathymetric Data Viewer.

The whistleblower makes it clear that they will not disclose further personal details or any information that could identify individuals connected to them, suggesting a concern for privacy or potential repercussions. The inclusion of a detailed bathymetric map further supports the claim that specific underwater locations are of interest in relation to the mysterious submerged objects.

The post elaborates on a speculative theory regarding the purpose of the unidentified objects and their potential connection to non-human intelligence. It suggests that NHI objective is to locate planets with valuable resources or conditions suitable for sustaining life, then report their findings to a distant outpost. According to this idea, a probe was sent to Earth thousands of years ago, and now its primary mission is to monitor and protect the planet and its resources while awaiting further probes or even the arrival of non-human intelligence (NHI) lifeforms. The post further implies that if humanity were to take drastic actions, such as attempting to destroy the planet with nuclear weapons, these entities would intervene. This perspective portrays these unidentified objects as long-term observers or guardians, subtly influencing human activity to ensure Earth’s preservation until a larger event unfolds.

The post discusses a reported 2015 event involving the emergence of a small, fast-moving object from the Puerto Rico shelf that later flew over the eastern United States. The whistleblower claims this aligns with data they had analyzed for years, and that the Pentagon confirmed similar activity in their 2020 video releases, which showed a spike in such incidents between 2014 and 2015. The release of those videos allegedly led to significant internal conflict within the government, with some officials advocating for disclosure while others fought to keep the information classified. Some individuals, according to the whistleblower, even pursued their own agendas independently. While the whistleblower’s team initially believed that progress was being made, the leaks only served to highlight the disorganization and infighting within intelligence circles, where different agencies either vied for control or worked against each other, leading the whistleblower to conclude that the system was effectively “cooked.”

When asked about the alleged phenomenon of small implants being placed into people, the whistleblower states that they never encountered any discussions about such practices. Regarding the origin of these unidentified objects, the whistleblower admits there is no definitive proof that they come from another world but asserts that they demonstrate a particular focus on human infrastructure and population centers. Rather than just surveying planetary resources, these objects appear to be mapping human activity with precision. The whistleblower specifically highlights that what is happening with UFOs in New Jersey is “unprecedented,” though they do not elaborate further.

Addressing a question about whether these objects could be connected to Earth’s shifting magnetic poles, the whistleblower dismisses the idea. They explain that Earth’s magnetic pole shift is an extremely slow-moving process, comparable to the gradual movement of a compass needle. While their team did investigate whether these objects were influenced by magnetic fields, they found that the objects did not follow expected patterns. Unlike migratory birds, which adjust their routes in response to changes in Earth’s magnetic field, these unidentified objects exhibited entirely different behaviors. Rather than being guided by natural geomagnetic shifts, they appeared capable of generating their own electromagnetic disturbances, similar to how a magnet can override a compass, suggesting a level of technological control beyond conventional physics.

The post explores the reasoning behind why these unidentified objects would care about human activity if they were an ancient Earth species. The whistleblower suggests that these entities may have tolerated humanity for a long time but are now reacting to increasing human interference in their environment. The expansion of deep-sea mining, submarine cables, sonar networks, and oil rigs has led to industrialization directly on top of key “threshold points” where these objects are frequently observed. Additionally, the whistleblower argues that humanity’s self-destructive behavior, particularly the use of nuclear weapons, places these entities at risk, which could explain why activity has surged over the past 80 years.

When asked why these objects mimic planes, the whistleblower states that it appears to be an evasion tactic, allowing them to avoid direct interaction with humans. This suggests that while these objects are conducting operations on Earth, they prefer to remain undetected by blending into conventional air traffic patterns.

Regarding the frequency of sightings, the whistleblower provides alarming figures, stating that by late 2022, there were roughly 40 emergences per month, up from only 10-20 in 2014. However, the most concerning trend was not just the number of events but the fact that multiple threshold points were activating simultaneously, which had never been observed before. The last available projections before the whistleblower lost access to classified data suggested that by the end of 2023, the number of monthly emergences had surpassed 100. Given recent developments, particularly in New Jersey, the whistleblower speculates that daily emergences have exceeded ten, far beyond any previous models or expectations.

The discussion then shifts to whether other nations have been tracking these phenomena. The whistleblower confirms that containment of this information is nearly impossible since Russian deep-sea research vessels have been frequently present around the East Pacific Rise threshold points. They assert that Russia has far more advanced deep-water surveillance capabilities than most people realize. Similarly, China has not ignored the phenomenon and has significantly ramped up its underwater sensor network since 2019. The whistleblower describes intelligence reports where multiple nations, including the United States, Russia, and China, were covertly tracking the same objects in international waters while officially pretending to conduct routine patrols. The situation is portrayed as absurd, with each country aware of the phenomenon but unwilling to openly acknowledge it.

The post addresses the concept of a “critical threshold” regarding the increasing frequency of emergence events. The whistleblower explains that pinpointing a specific date for such a threshold is impossible since their models only indicated an exponential rise in activity without providing a definitive peak. By mid-2023, the rate of increase had already far exceeded their worst-case projections from 2019, and they lost access to classified data before they could determine when the activity might reach its climax. The whistleblower compares this uncertainty to watching a pot boil—bubbles form more rapidly over time, but predicting the exact moment when the water will spill over is nearly impossible. They emphasize that the surge in activity is far beyond anything previously modeled and that the ultimate purpose of these events remains unknown.

The post asserts that despite all the data collected, there has never been any indication of aggressive behavior from these unidentified objects. The whistleblower describes them as possessing extraordinary capabilities, including the ability to alter their structure, manipulate electromagnetic fields, and move through water with no resistance, but emphasizes that they have never exhibited hostile intent. If they were violent, the whistleblower suggests, humanity would stand no chance against them. Instead, their observed behavior appears to be more territorial, as if they are responding to human encroachment into their domain. The whistleblower speculates that these entities are aware of nuclear weapons and understand that any overt hostility could trigger a nuclear response, which would be as detrimental to their environment as it would be to humanity’s. However, they acknowledge that this is merely an interpretation based on available data rather than a definitive understanding of these objects’ motives.

Expanding on the concept of “threshold points,” the whistleblower clarifies that these are not physical structures or holes but rather anomalous zones where known physics becomes unpredictable. Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) that attempted to approach within 600 meters of these areas experienced severe navigation failures, including spinning compasses and sensors providing impossible depth readings. Several Remus autonomous underwater units were lost in attempts to get closer. The best visual data came from multibeam sonar mapping, which revealed perfectly circular zones, roughly 50 meters in diameter, where sonar returns failed to make sense. In these regions, standard bathymetric readings would indicate normal seafloor conditions, but then suddenly display an inexplicable smooth disc-like feature where all instruments failed to gather coherent data, akin to a blind spot in sonar imaging.

The REMUS (Remote Environmental Monitoring Units) series consists of advanced autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) developed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Oceanographic Systems Laboratory. These AUVs are designed for a range of underwater missions, including environmental monitoring, hydrographic surveys, and mine countermeasures. Among them, the REMUS 6000 stands out for its capability to reach depths of up to 6,000 meters, making it ideal for deep-sea exploration and scientific research. With its robust design and high-powered sensors, it provides valuable data for challenging underwater applications.

The whistleblower responds to a question about whether these unidentified objects might have the capability to mimic humans or other entities. The whistleblower clarifies that there was never any concrete evidence to suggest that these objects could mimic anything beyond aircraft. While they do not dismiss the possibility that such a capability could exist, they emphasize that all detected signatures remained consistent with the two primary forms previously described—the sphere and the tic-tac shape.

In addressing the origin of these objects, the whistleblower maintains a strict stance on data and avoids speculation. While acknowledging that it would be intriguing if the objects were interdimensional beings or extraterrestrial entities, they admit they do not know what they truly are. They argue that attempting to label the phenomenon is ultimately pointless since their sophistication suggests an advanced technological civilization, but beyond that, theories range from time travel to artificial intelligence. Lastly, they firmly state that there is no evidence indicating these objects are extraterrestrial or that they originate from outside Earth, reinforcing the idea that their presence is tied to this planet rather than an off-world source.

The post details the development of quantum sonar arrays, which were created in collaboration with major defense contractors. Unlike traditional sonar, which relies on acoustic reflection, these advanced arrays combined quantum sensing with conventional sonar to detect disturbances in both acoustic and electromagnetic fields simultaneously. Their key advantage was the ability to track objects even when they produced no conventional acoustic signature or cavitation. This technology allowed them to monitor unidentified objects that could otherwise evade detection.

When these objects mimicked aircraft, they could flawlessly replicate visual appearance and radar signatures. However, the quantum sonar arrays still revealed their true forms, as the technology detected disturbances in the quantum properties of water itself, which could not be masked. The whistleblower compares this to an MRI scan, which can see through the skin to reveal bone structure. No matter how these objects appeared visually, the arrays consistently displayed their base forms, allowing them to be tracked from deep emergence points at crush depth all the way to the surface, even when their movements appeared impossible and produced no detectable sound.

The post further asserts that these objects demonstrated complete mastery over pressure differentials and electromagnetic fields, suggesting highly advanced technology rather than interdimensional phasing. Even when they altered their form to mimic aircraft, their base structure remained unchanged in the quantum acoustic readings. This strongly suggests that their transformations were a form of technological camouflage rather than an organic or dimensional shift. The whistleblower concludes that all available data pointed to advanced engineering rather than supernatural or biological phenomena, though they acknowledge that some individuals within the project believed otherwise.

One particularly intriguing theory discussed among the program’s members relates to what they termed “temporal inversions.” The quantum sonar arrays frequently detected the signature of these objects milliseconds before they physically appeared. Initially thought to be an equipment malfunction, this anomaly was observed consistently across different arrays and threshold points, leading some to believe that these objects were not just moving through space, but also through time. The suggestion that threshold points might function as temporal nodes rather than mere spatial coordinates offers a potential explanation for the objects’ lack of cavitation, their ability to predict movements perfectly, and the unchanging behavior of marine life in their presence. This hypothesis also aligns with the observed exponential increase in emergence activity, as it raises the possibility that the same objects are appearing multiple times due to temporal loops. If true, this could indicate that the entities controlling these objects are cataloging changes in human civilization across different time periods, with each emergence event representing a temporal snapshot rather than a simple incursion.

The post explains that the Hudson Valley area does not compare to the identified threshold points where emergence events were consistently observed. The deepest parts of the Hudson River Valley and surrounding continental shelf only extend to about 100-200 meters, whereas the monitored threshold zones occurred at depths between 3,000-4,000 meters. Even the deepest parts of the New York Bight only reach around 2,000 meters, making them unsuitable for the type of activity recorded in other deep-sea locations.

Regarding mapping behavior, the whistleblower clarifies that their work was based on pattern analysis rather than speculation about intent. A specific example describes how objects would emerge from the Puerto Rico Trench, follow a precise grid pattern over the Norfolk Naval Base, hover at consistent intervals, and maintain a precise distance from key facilities. These patterns repeated weekly with an observed 99.7% consistency. When this type of tracked movement is multiplied across hundreds of recorded events, it becomes evident that the objects exhibit a methodical behavior rather than random activity. The correlation coefficient between their movement and military infrastructure is described as statistically significant, further supporting the conclusion that these objects are actively conducting structured reconnaissance rather than behaving unpredictably.

The whistleblower addresses the sophistication of these unidentified objects, emphasizing that their ability to maintain precise positioning relative to key infrastructure while phasing through different electromagnetic frequencies indicates an advanced level of technology.

In the Arctic, the whistleblower acknowledges that deep-water features, such as the Fram Strait, could serve as potential threshold points. While their own work was focused on three confirmed threshold points, they recall colleagues discussing significant activity in the Fram Strait, particularly during periods of ice melt. Russian research vessels were reportedly active in the area, which the whistleblower suggests would have been a valuable location for deploying their sonar arrays, though this was never pursued within their team.

Fram Strait, situated between Greenland and Svalbard, serves as the sole deep-water passage connecting the Arctic Ocean with the world’s oceans. This strategic location facilitates the exchange of water masses, heat, and sea ice between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, significantly influencing global oceanic circulation and climate patterns. The strait is characterized by two primary currents: the northward-flowing West Spitsbergen Current, which transports warm, saline Atlantic water into the Arctic, and the southward-flowing East Greenland Current, which carries colder, fresher water and sea ice out of the Arctic. Notably, the Molloy Deep within Fram Strait represents the deepest point in the Arctic Ocean, reaching depths of approximately 5,550 meters.

Reflecting on the compartmentalization within their program, the whistleblower explains that their team spent more than a decade gathering sensor data and interacting with other groups, but much of the information was restricted. Their primary focus was on quantum sonar analysis and pattern tracking, though they would occasionally receive sanitized intelligence reports or cross-reference data with other branches, such as the bio team. However, as time went on, access to information became increasingly limited, with most data shared strictly on a need-to-know basis. Ultimately, the whistleblower concludes that they never determined the true intentions of these objects, as they never displayed any clear motive or direct communication.

The whistleblower discusses the military’s frequent encounters with these unidentified objects, emphasizing that while Pentagon-released videos are widely known, they represent only a fraction of the total evidence. There exists an extensive, classified catalog of footage—including video, images, audio, sonar, thermal, and radar data—that remains inaccessible to the public, at least for now. The whistleblower suggests that some of the footage circulating online is, in fact, legitimate.

Regarding the question of whether there was any attempt to communicate or engage with these objects, the whistleblower states that, to their knowledge, no successful two-way interaction or controlled communication ever took place. Despite the frequency of encounters, there was never a clear response or exchange that indicated any kind of direct engagement.

When asked how much Congress knows about the situation, the whistleblower explains that based on the internal disputes they witnessed, different congressional committees likely possess fragmented pieces of information. They believe that the recent public hearings barely scratched the surface of what is truly known, hinting at a deeper level of classified intelligence that remains undisclosed.

One intriguing aspect the whistleblower highlights is the observed interest these objects displayed toward what they termed “critical sustainability infrastructure.” Beyond military installations and power grids, their tracking data showed a consistent focus on research facilities, environmental monitoring stations, and preservation sites, including places like seed vaults. This suggests that their activity is not solely tied to human defense systems but also extends to locations related to long-term ecological and scientific preservation. The implication is that these objects may be monitoring or cataloging key locations related to environmental stability and human survival, though their ultimate intent remains unclear.

The whistleblower argues that sightings and interactions with these objects occur worldwide, urging readers to research public data for verification. Multiple countries, including the U.S., Russia, China, and India, have been monitoring this phenomenon. India, in particular, has been actively tracking activity in the Indian Ocean, while several European nations have developed deep-water monitoring programs for the same purpose. According to the whistleblower, most militaries possess extensive records of these interactions.

When addressing the possibility of these objects being linked to cattle mutilations, the whistleblower acknowledges that they have been tracked moving inland from emergence points, often toward rural and agricultural areas. While this pattern suggests a potential connection, the whistleblower admits to not having direct data linking the objects to mutilations, leaving the possibility open but unverified.

Shifting focus, the whistleblower notes that by late 2022, the objects’ mimicry abilities began exhibiting noticeable flaws. Issues arose in the way they handled light and shadows, often failing to align with ambient lighting conditions, leading to visual distortions or inconsistencies in their appearance. This was particularly evident in their attempts to replicate FAA-mandated aircraft lighting, with numerous tracked instances of malfunctioning strobes that blinked too quickly, too slowly, or displayed incorrect colors. The whistleblower suggests that these anomalies indicate a decline in the precision of their camouflage, implying that the objects may be getting “sloppy” in their deception.

Finally, the whistleblower explores the recent decline in the effectiveness of the objects’ mimicry. From a military perspective, this degradation in quality could indicate a shift in operational priorities, suggesting that perfect concealment was no longer as critical to their objectives. However, these so-called “mistakes” might be intentional, serving a theatrical purpose. The whistleblower notes that these entities are clearly advanced enough to remain completely hidden if they choose, raising the question: when they appear imperfect, is it truly a mistake, or is it deliberate?
