I saw a blue sphere descend into the ocean without causing a ripple in the water during my night watch on an oil tanker in the Bermuda Triangle. I thought it was "Saint Elmo's fire" at the time. Now, I'm not so sure.

From sightings by U.S. submarines to mysterious humanoids in the depths of Russian lakes, there is an even more mysterious cousin to the UFO - the USO, or Unidentified Submerged Object.
There are multiple reports of USOs from around the world, often from respected military and academic professionals - with some claiming that underwater ‘fast movers’ are a common part of life on board submarines.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Nigel Watson, author of Captured by Aliens? A History and Analysis of American Abduction Claims, said: ‘We live on an ocean planet, so it is not surprising that UFOs are seen over or in the vicinity of the great expanses of water that surround us.
'Concentrations of USO sightings indicate bases in the North Sea, and off the coasts of California and Puerto Rico.
'USOs are as intriguing as UAPs but they are even more difficult to substantiate - and often get mixed with dreams about Atlantis and aliens living in the hollow Earth.
'Personally, to me, they are a myth, like mermaids or the Loch Ness Monster.'
