Paul Stonehill reads the memoirs of Soviet Pacific Fleet captain Vladimir Pavlovich Sherbski. In February 1960, after leaving the Sea of Japan through La Perouse Strait, the commander and his chief of staff saw a light rise from under the stern three times, flooding the boat in a bluish sphere while the sky stayed black; the last flash lasted 35 seconds, and they did not log it.
Stonehill ties similar sea illuminations to cases in Russia's USO Secrets, then follows Sherbski to the Kurils, a stranded barge, scientists who were told not to talk about Bigfoot, and sonar contacts that may have been bowhead whales rather than a US submarine.

Exclusive Summary
Paul Stonehill is discussing UFO and USO (Unidentified Submersible Object) studies in the Soviet Union, focuses on the role of military counterintelligence, controlled by the KGB from 1922 to 1991. Key points include:
Structure and Evolution: Counterintelligence operated through "special departments" (Asob Adil or Third Directorate) in military units to counter foreign intelligence. The 1960s marked the peak of UFO activity. An operational-analytical service systematized activities, with emphasis on strategic missile forces. In 1971, the Ninth Department was formed to secure Ministry of Defense offices, missile armies (e.g., in Vinnytsia, Vladimir, Omsk), testing ranges (Baikonur, Kapustin Yar, Plesetsk), and related institutions. Led by Lt. Gen. Matiev, it ensured coordinated security amid Cold War tensions, implicitly extending to UFO threats.
Connections to UFOs/USOs: While primarily for human threats, counterintelligence intersected with UFO/USO investigations (e.g., via the Setka program). The speaker references UFO incidents at missile sites and USOs in oceans, urging viewers to watch related videos or read the co-authored book Russia's USO Secrets.
Notable Failures: Highlights Operation Ivy Bells (1971–1980), where the US submarine USS Halibut tapped a Soviet undersea cable in the Sea of Okhotsk near Kamchatka's Kura test site, intercepting unencrypted data for a decade. Soviet carelessness allowed this; it was exposed by NSA defector Ronald Pelton in 1980, leading to a KGB cover-up. Relevance to ufology: High USO activity in the region.
Operational Roles: On warships and submarines, officers handled independent decision-making, crew monitoring, preventing recruitment, defections, smuggling (e.g., banned books), and secrecy breaches. Submarine specifics included vigilance in key compartments, with allusions to USO encounters.
Key Success: In 1981, counterintelligence (led by Jardetski) prevented full disclosure of classified tech during a nuclear submarine lease to India by insisting on modifications and reduced documentation.
Implications for Disclosure: The speaker argues true UFO/USO disclosure requires simultaneous release from the US, Russia (including Soviet archives), and China due to geopolitical sensitivities—no nation will act unilaterally.
Richard Dolan is author UFOs and the National Security State: Chronology of a Cover-up 1941-1973, UFOs and the National Security State: The Cover-Up Exposed 1973-1991, A. D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact, The Secret Space Program and Breakaway Civilization, The Alien Agendas: A Speculative Analysis of Those Visiting Earth, and UFOs for the 21st Century Mind: The Definitive Guide to the UFO Mystery. His newest book is The History of USOs: Unidentified Submerged Objects.
Here he points out that observations of mysterious objects have been reported since ancient times entering or leaving bodies of water. They seem to follow certain patterns, for example responding to changes in human technology, that suggest an intelligence behind their operation. In many regards they resemble UFOs. Dolan reviews his findings from having analyzed over 600 cases of this type.

Description:
What if UFOs don’t come from the stars—but from beneath our oceans? A 1971 Costa Rican photo, Navy radar, and abductee reports point to a chilling truth: non-human craft may be operating underwater—and we’ve known for decades.
Patrick is joined by Bob McGwier, who held a Top Secret Security Clearance with the US Government for over 40 years amongst a myriad of other accomplishments, to discuss his two personal USO experiences.
