What once belonged to the realm of science fiction has crashed headlong into the halls of the United States Congress, as elected officials and decorated military veterans assert with increasing urgency that alien entities may be operating from a network of five or six underwater bases positioned along the American coastline. The implications, both for
In a video posted to social media platform X, Burchett suggested that advanced beings or civilizations may have been hiding beneath the sea for millennia, not centuries but millennia, without detection by the most powerful military apparatus in world history.
Burchett’s remarks were not idle speculation.
He reported that credible whistleblowers had personally witnessed underwater craft traveling at speeds of hundreds of miles per hour, propulsion velocities that are entirely beyond the reach of any known human engineering.
These accounts, he stressed, came from individuals with direct military and intelligence experience, people who had served their country with distinction and had little to gain from fabricating extraordinary claims.
The congressman is far from alone.
Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert pressed a panel of expert witnesses during a formal House Oversight subcommittee hearing, asking whether there were any accounts of UAPs emerging from or submerging into American waters, which could indicate an established base or physical presence beneath the ocean’s surface.
The question was not dismissed.
The experts on the panel did not laugh it off.
They answered carefully and seriously.
Boebert went further, asking whether any technological capabilities had been observed in these oceanic UAPs that appear to defy current understanding of physics or human engineering.
The witnesses, including former Department of Defense officials and retired Navy admirals, testified that the government has been conspicuously lacking in transparency with the American public regarding the full scope of UAP encounters and what they represent.
Researcher and author Dr. Michael Salla, whose work focuses extensively on extraterrestrial phenomena, has identified a specific region of the Atlantic Ocean near the Bahamas as one of the alleged UAP bases.
After the Burchett revelations spread across the internet, Salla stated that he had independently spoken to credible whistleblowers, including senior military and executive branch officials, who confirmed the existence of these underwater bases.
His account lends a layer of corroboration that cannot be easily dismissed.
Dr. Salla also pointed to a facility known as AUTEC, the Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Center, and compared it to the legendary Area 51 in Nevada.
AUTEC sits in that precise stretch of the Atlantic near the Bahamas.
Whether the Navy facility was built in response to alien activity already occurring there, or whether it serves some dual purpose that the American people have never been told about, remains an open question that the government has so far refused to answer directly.
Meanwhile, off the coast of Southern California, the mystery deepens.
The waters near Catalina Island and Malibu have been identified as a verifiable hotspot of UAP and USO, Unidentified Submerged Object, activity for decades.
Researchers report that nearly 400 sightings have been recorded off the California coast alone, with tens of thousands of similar events reported at U.S. shorelines and major bodies of water in recent years.
That is not a statistical outlier.
That is a pattern.
UAP researcher and author Richard Dolan, who has spent decades studying these phenomena with particular attention to Catalina Island, sat down with acclaimed investigative journalist Ross Coulthart to discuss the mounting body of evidence.
Dolan emphasized the strange and consistent connection between UAP activity and nuclear weapons facilities, a link that has been noted by multiple independent researchers and has yet to receive a satisfactory official explanation.
A mysterious stadium-shaped structure sitting roughly 2,000 feet underwater off the Malibu coast, known as Sycamore Knoll, has long fascinated the UAP research community.
Estimated to be between two-and-a-half and three miles wide, the anomaly has drawn serious scrutiny from academics and former government officials alike.
Some dismiss it as a natural geological formation.
Others, reviewing the dimensions and regularity of its shape, are not so sure.
The national security stakes of this issue cannot be overstated.
Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, a former oceanographer and Navy officer with an impeccable service record, published a detailed 29-page report warning that UFOs displaying the ability to seamlessly transition from air to sea without a splash or crash debris represent an urgent national security threat with world-changing scientific implications.
In July 2019, the USS Omaha recorded a UAP that buzzed a Navy fleet off San Diego before disappearing into the ocean without a trace.
That video was subsequently verified by the Pentagon itself.
Gallaudet wrote pointedly that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering U.S. water space and that the Department of Defense’s failure to raise a red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena.
One of the most unnerving aspects of the underwater base theory is the historical depth of sightings associated with it.
In Gulf Breeze, Florida, on November 11, 1987, more than 200 witnesses reported strange unexplained lights in the sky.
Those sightings continued through the early 1990s with videos, eyewitness accounts, and news coverage mounting into a body of evidence that investigators found difficult to explain away.
Ninety miles away at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military personnel were simultaneously reporting USOs rising directly out of the ocean.
Congressional testimony has also included explosive claims that the U.S. government has conducted a secret UFO retrieval program, meaning that actual physical craft of non-human origin may have been recovered and are currently being studied or stored at black sites.
A former Department of Defense official testified to this effect before the House Oversight Committee, and his statement has never been officially refuted by the government.
Claims were also made before Congress that the government possesses evidence of aliens in the form of photos, videos, and other documentation.
Multiple witnesses urged lawmakers to bring this information out of the classified world and into the public domain, arguing that the American people have a fundamental right to know what their government has discovered in their name and on their dime.
Conservative lawmakers have been the most aggressive in demanding answers.
Where their colleagues on the left have largely maintained silence or dismissed the issue, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have pushed for transparency.
They argue that a government of, by, and for the people cannot justify withholding information of this magnitude, information that potentially rewrites everything humanity believes about its place in the cosmos.
The silence from the executive branch has been deafening.
Despite years of whistleblower testimony, documented video evidence, Pentagon acknowledgments, and congressional demands, no administration has ever provided a full, unredacted account of what the U.S. military and intelligence communities know about non-human intelligence operating in American territory.
The question of why they continue to suppress this information grows more uncomfortable with each passing day.
What is clear is that the phenomenon is real enough to have injured government employees, according to congressional testimony.
The idea that something capable of injuring human beings is conducting operations from bases beneath America’s coastal waters, and that this has apparently been occurring for an unknowable length of time, should alarm every American citizen regardless of political affiliation.
