The Encounter
The experiencer is a former intelligence officer who served on the USS Hampton, a nuclear submarine. During a classified operation, he heard a strange sound while the submarine was moving quickly underwater. He described an object passing by at supersonic speeds, faster than the speed of sound in water, without any cavitation. Later, while on the USS Blue Ridge during a typhoon, he saw a yellowish glow above the ship that blocked rain. The glow increased in brightness and then shot straight up into the sky. After these encounters, he felt compelled to share his experiences, but he noted that the Navy did not want to report the incidents to avoid investigations. He continues to reflect on these unusual events.
Program Intelligence Analysis
The interview with Science Bob McGuire reveals two significant encounters with unidentified phenomena while serving on U.S. Navy vessels. He describes an object moving faster than sound underwater and a mysterious glow observed during a typhoon that blocked rain.
An object was reported to be moving faster than the speed of sound underwater, and a glow was observed above a Navy ship that blocked rain.

“I guarantee you the following happened, a person with knowledge of onboard systems came out and said oh my God this goddamn thing is going faster than the speed of sound underwater.”
A person with knowledge of onboard systems claimed that an object was moving faster than the speed of sound underwater.
While on the USS Blue Ridge during a typhoon, Bob McGuire observed a glow above the ship that blocked rain and then took off straight up.

Encounter Research Breakdown
Phenomenological AnalysisThe speaker provides a detailed first-person account of two UAP encounters while serving on naval vessels, including specific observations and contextual information. However, the lack of corroboration and the brief nature of the encounters limit the overall evidential strength.
The experiencer hears a strange sound and observes an object moving at incredible speed past the submarine.
“this thing blew by us like we were standing still”
The experiencer describes the object moving faster than the speed of sound underwater, with no cavitation.
“this goddamn thing is going faster than the speed of sound underwater”
The object quickly moves away from the submarine, leaving the experiencer in disbelief.
“it couldn't have been more than a few seconds because it blew by us and was gone”

Five Observables (2/5)
The experiencer observed a yellowish glow above the ship during a typhoon, which blocked rain and then took off rapidly.
The encounter involved a high-speed object moving underwater, which is beyond normal expectations for underwater physics.
