Astrologer William Stickevers talks about UFOs and Otologic Shock. I thought his description of ontological shock very useful. It can look like a black swan event that changes your world view. Finding out you are adopted, the collapse of the USSR etc. -

...speed is maintained by an underwater ramjet fueled by hydroreactive metals using seawater as both reactant and the source of oxidizer... Was this the torpedo that sank the Kursk? I've read supposition that seawater came in contact with a torpedo engine. It's a lead pipe cinch that this tech was not shown in the movie The Hunt for Red October. -

The VA-111 Shkval (from Russian: шквал, squall) torpedo and its descendants are supercavitating torpedoes originally developed by the Soviet Union. They are capable of speeds in excess of 200 knots (370 km/h or 230 miles/h). Design began in the 1960s... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA-111_Shkval -

"What’s Lurking Beneath the Surface?" "Something is moving hundreds of miles an hour underwater, and our capabilities are 40 miles an hour. This one was as large as a football field." – Congressman Tim Burchett Unidentified underwater objects moving at impossible speeds, defying human technology, are being reported across the globe. Is non-human intelligence operating beneath our oceans? Are there underwater bases right here on Earth? The global demand for answers is growing. The truth may be closer—and stranger—than we ever imagined. -

Then there's the Russian underwater drone The Poseidon appears to be a torpedo-shaped robotic mini-submarine which can travel at speeds of 185 km/h (100 kn). More recent information suggests a top speed of 100 km/h (54 kn), with a range of 10,000 km (5,400 nmi; 6,200 mi) and a depth maximum of 1,000 m (3,300 ft). Typical depth of the drone may be about 50–100 meters (160–330 ft) for increased stealth features in low-speed stealth mode. Low depth in stealth mode is preferred because sound waves move to ocean floor and reduce radius of detection. Submarines use the same strategy in silent running mode. It is 1.6–2 metres (5–7 ft) in diameter and 24 metres (80 ft) long. The warhead shown in the leaked figure is a cylinder 1.5 metres (5 ft) in diameter by 4 metres (13 ft) in length, giving a volume of 7 cubic metres (250 cu ft). Comparing this to the volumes of other large thermonuclear bombs, the 1961 Soviet-era Tsar Bomba itself measured 8 metres (26 ft) long by 2.1 metres (6 ft 11 in) in diameter, indicating that the yield is at least several tens of megatons, generally consistent with early reports of 100 megatons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status-6_Oceanic_Multipurpose_System -

found this today, chant remember were i was directed from but its a interesting read. true/false who know. apparently it about the 'drones' being reported. the remus under water unmanned vehicles mentioned in article. REMUS (vehicle) - Wikipedia The largest model is the REMUS 6000 at 3.84 metres (12.6 ft) long and 71 centimetres (28 in) in diameter; it is named after its maximum diving depth of 6000m. [4] It can travel at speeds of up to 5 knots (9.3 km/h) and has an endurance of up to 22 hours.
