Retired Navy admiral warns of decades-long UAP 'cover-up,' points to deep ocean as ultimate hiding spot
A retired Navy rear admiral is pulling back the curtain on what he believes is an 80-year government UFO cover-up, explaining why the deep ocean could be the ultimate hiding place for unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
"If they were to go somewhere basically to not be detected for a period of time ... where would you want to go?" retired Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet asked Sean Hannity on his "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast.
"You'd want to go ... [to] the most unexplored area of the world, and that's the ocean."

Gallaudet, a former acting administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), appeared on Tuesday's episode of the podcast discussing the mysteries of the deep ocean and what could lurk beneath the surface.
His decades of experience studying the ocean have led him to question what its depths could contain, particularly given how much of the seafloor remains unmapped, according to ocean-mapping researchers.
"We've only explored with either drones, buoys, floats, about 10% of ocean volume," Gallaudet said. "So there's a lot of mystery out there right now."
His remarks come as Navy personnel have reported encounters with unidentified objects that they say can travel between air and water without any apparent disturbance.
Gallaudet described a video that he said shows a mysterious object moving rapidly underwater before emerging from the water without disturbing the surface, hovering briefly and then accelerating skyward.
"It goes into the ocean, no disturbance," Gallaudet said.
"I'm aware of another video that shows something similar, but from overhead ... so yeah, there's something that they've been able to engineer that we have no idea how to reproduce," he added.
Gallaudet also described the objects as silent, saying they can accelerate beyond the speed of sound without producing a sonic boom — a capability he suggested would be difficult to explain using known technology.
Beyond the mysterious sightings, Gallaudet and Hannity also discussed claims that the government has attempted to recover and study craft of non-human origin, accusations of decades-long government secrecy surrounding UAP encounters and efforts to increase transparency about the U.S. government's knowledge of unidentified phenomena.
