Sub USS-TIRU Encounters UFO

1966 - USS-Tiru Encounters UFO In 1966 as the submarine USS Tiru SS-416 cruised from Pearl to Seattle five of the crew had a very unusual experience. During one late afternoon the sub was cruising on the surface at approximately 10 knots when the port lookout reported a strange contact at a range of 2 miles bearing 315 degrees relative. The lookout refused to tell the OOD what it was that he had seen and instead insisted that the starboard lookout and the OOD both look at that area. The three men looked through their binoculars toward the area reported and were astounded to see a metal craft larger than a football field tumble from the clouds into the ocean. It actually tumbled end over end and when it hit the water and sank beneath the ocean huge geysers of water rose into the air. When the port lookout was sure that the others had seen it he then told the OOD that he had seen it tumble from the ocean up into the clouds. See the full report at:
