Description

This was a really cool story. The podcast is 9 months old, but I've heard more discussion about these Unidentified Submersible Objects, or 'Fast Movers'. The radar technician identified the speed 'above the speed of sound' (767mph or 343 m/s) underwater. That just seems impossible.

The fastest known submarines are around 50mph. Air is 830 times less dense than water. Hence, there is an extreme amount of resistance compared to airborne objects. The members onboard the USS Hampton had no desire to report this. That begs the question, how many other 'fast movers' are encountered and not reported?
