Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth: MORE MYSTERIOUS SUBMARINES
At about 18.15 on 30 July 1967, the Argentine steamer Naviero was some 120 miles off the coast of Brazil, opposite Cape Santa Marte Grande (Lat. 28 48 S, Long. 46 43 W) in the State of Santa Catarina. As the officers and crew were taking their evening meal, Captain Julian Lucas Ardanza was notified on the intercom by one of the officers that something strange was near the ship.
Arriving on deck, Captain Ardanza could see a shining object in the sea, no more than 50 feet off the starboard side. Cigar-shaped, with an estimated length of 105 to 110 feet, it emitted a powerful blue and white glow. No noise could be heard and no wake could be seen in the water, neither was there any sign of a periscope, railing, conning tower or any other superstructure, such as would be expected of conventional submarines.
The mystery craft paced Naviero for 15 minutes at a speed estimated by Captain Ardanza at 25 knots, as against the 17 knots of his own vessel.
Suddenly, the unidentified submarine dived, passed right underneath Naviero and vanished rapidly in the depths, glowing brightly as it went.
Because the Naviero was carrying explosives, and in case the crew might panic about being ‘pursued’ on account of this cargo, Captain Ardanza and his officers assembled the crew to tell them what had happened. In subsequent interviews with the Argentine press, Ardanza said that he had seen nothing like it during his 20 years at sea. Chief Officer Carlos Lasca described the object as ‘a submergible UFO with its own illumination’. The Argentine maritime authorities officially classified it as an ‘Unidentified Submarine Object‘.
For three weeks in February 1960, it was reported that the Argentine Navy, aided by United States experts, depth-bombed and called for the surrender of two mysterious submarines. The submarines lay in the bottom of Golfo Nuevo, a bay north of Rawson, separated from the ocean by a narrow entrance. They were chased by the Argentines all over the bay and each time they were trapped they managed to slip away mysteriously. Finally, Argentine Navy Secretary Gaston Clemente told newsmen that the patrol would be called off. Intrigued by these events, contactee George Adamski later asked his space friends for an explanation. ‘The answer,’ he asserted, ‘was that they were spacecraft.’
They were studying the bottom of the ocean to learn about conditions on our planet that are not yet indicated on dry land areas. A number of such craft are making a thorough study of underwater lands and naval ships of many nations have encountered them. For the most part, confidential, official reports of such encounters have been described as ‘fantastic’. But here again, although our friends would like to surface and make themselves, and what they are doing, known, our fears keep us in a state of hostility that prevents their doing so. Instead, they pass their findings on to others of their people who are working among our scientists and in other important places throughout the world. In turn, and in time, this information will be given to the people as findings from IGY [International Geophysical Year] research.
