An Unidentified Submerged Object, or USO, is defined as any object or optical or mechanical detection phenomenon of unknown origin observed within water that remains unidentified even after thorough investigation and are real. The maritime analog to a UFO, or unidentified flying object, unidentified submerged objects are often seen by those who study unidentified flying objects as a phenomenon the same as or similar, but encountered in water instead of atmosphere. Likewise, many sightings of USOs constituting "typical" UFOs emerging from the water are seen as a subset of the latter rather than the former. Although identifying and dispelling unidentified flying objects has typically been important to militaries as a national security issue, the comparatively rare USO sightings have not been reported as national security threats or caused the form of sensation that typical UFO sightings often have.
USOs and IceUnidentified submerged objects are occasionally reputed to have flown into and out of bodies of water that are choked with heavy ice coverings as if the ice presents no barrier whatsoever.[1] After these reports, large holes have been observed that do not appear marked by catastrophic impact. Some have proposed that these USOs possess the ability to melt ice at speed of transit. Examples of this have occurred in Norway, Sweden and Russia, where these objects have been reported flying into and out of the water in the area.[2] USOs and theories of origin and purposeUSOs that remain underwater are sometimes thought to have been tricks of the light caused by refraction and turbulent flow, or large water creatures. Shag HarbourIn 1967, a UFO was reported crashing into Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. The craft was reported to be about sixty feet long. It was reported to have been hovering and flashing orange lights, then it tilted at about a 45-degree angle and entered the water. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police was notified about the incident. A yellow light was reported in the water moving and leaving a trail of yellow foam. The Canadian Coast Guard was sent to the area of the crash. By the time they got to the spot of entry, with some other ships, the only thing that was still visible was the yellow foam. They checked if it could have been a plane crash. However, all flights in the area were checked and all planes were accounted for, and divers had found nothing. The incident has been the subject of much speculation by conspiracy theorists. Like the Roswell incident, it is known that the U.S. Navy came to be involved, and U.S. divers trailed the object for several days. A second craft dove into the bay and accompanied the first one. Both craft then left the water and headed off. Many people allege the U.S. government then refused to reveal anything about what they had found. Other reports
