In seeking craft that may be of extra-terrestrial origin it is a common thing to watch the skies. However, these same craft that could survive the vacuum of outer space should be capable of as easily surviving the pressures of the watery depths. The idea that aliens visiting our planet have bases of operation is not a farfetched concept. Nor is it an inconceivable idea that these bases are hidden from the sight of the surface dwelling inhabitants of this planet by being constructed where we have no adequate way to discover them. The depths of the ocean would make such a safe haven.

Reports of aerial craft that have dipped into the ocean and flown out again have been in our recorded history for at least a thousand years. One of the earliest reports of a craft rising from the ocean, flying, and then returning to the depths comes from Geoffrey Gaimer's "Lestoire des Englis" written in 1067 A.D. The report states, "In this year people saw a fire that flamed and burned fiercely in the sky. It came near the earth and for a little time brilliantly lit it up. Afterwards, it revolved, ascended on high, and then descended into the sea."

The year 1580 A.D. saw the report of the Spanish Captain Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa as he passed through the Straits of Magellan. Translated from the Spanish it reads, "We saw emerge from the sea a round thing, red like fire, like a shield, that rose up on the air or on the wind. It became longer as it went over a mountain and, in the form of a lance high above the mount, its shape became like a half-moon between red and white in colour."

In the late 1960's the ex Naval Intelligence Officer William Cooper wrote of a sighting of an unidentified submersible object he spotted as a young naval officer aboard the USS Tiru. "I turned, raising my binoculars to my eyes just in time to see a huge disk rise from beneath the ocean, water streaming from the air around it, tumble lazily on its axis, and disappear into the clouds."

As sightings of UFO's increase worldwide, so to are USO's being reported in greater numbers. It stands to reason that if some unknown presence is sharing the planet with us then living in such inaccessible places would keep them much safer than if they merely tried to locate in remote locations. With technologies that preclude the need for chemical fires to propel them and hulls already made to withstand extreme pressures, the water should present no greater difficulty than air or vacuum would present.

As our own technology increases and we learn more of the topography under our oceans, many strange and seemingly non-natural formations are being found. Will it be that as we develop craft capable of descending to such depths we will find them being shadowed by alien craft just as our astronauts have reported all our space missions being monitored and observed for whatever alien end?
