Paul Stonehill | Radar Ghosts and Underwater Strangeness: Soviet Submarine Commander's Testimony | Aug. 5, 2026

Description:
Captain Vladimir Pavlovich Scherbavskih was an experienced and capable Soviet submarine commander. I have translated some of his recollections about serving in the Far East in the 1960s. If you follow my research, you know that the area of the Kuril Islands contains several secrets and mysteries.

I am the only one who presents such information to the public as in the West; modern American and West European UFO researchers are largely ignorant about Russia and China, and most likely do not speak any other languages outside of English. Would be great to have more Chinese testimonies, but you can find a lot in my channel, too, because I monitor their developments through Russian sources.
