UFO sightings over bodies of water are not a new phenomenon. For centuries, sailors and explorers have reported mysterious lights and flying objects that seemed to have a special connection to the sea. One of the earliest documented cases occurred in 1492, when Christopher Columbus and his crew saw bright lights moving across the horizon as they sailed toward the New World. Although at the time the incident was attributed to natural phenomena, many today wonder if it could have been an early encounter with a UFO.
In the modern era, these sightings have multiplied, with many of them taking place near marine areas. Commercial and military aircraft pilots have reported seeing objects that appear to fly at high speed over the ocean, often performing maneuvers that defy the laws of physics. In some cases, these objects have been observed diving into the water without causing any visible disturbance, leading some researchers to speculate about the existence of underwater bases or the ability of these UFOs to operate in both the air and water.
One of the most famous incidents involving a USO occurred in 1967, when a group of fishermen off the coast of Chile reported seeing a luminous object descend from the sky and dive into the ocean. According to witnesses, the object emitted a bright light that illuminated the surrounding water before disappearing into the depths. Despite efforts to track the object, no trace of it was ever found, further adding to the mystery.
Researchers have collected numerous similar reports from around the world, suggesting that these objects may be operating in our oceans for an unknown purpose. Some theorists believe that USOs could be harvesting resources, monitoring human activity, or even using the oceans as a pathway to travel across the planet undetected.
