“They Determine the Rules of Engagement” \u2013
700 Underwater UFO Cases |
Richard Dolan<\/b><\/font><\/big><\/center>

\nExoMagazinTV and Richard Dolan Intelligent Disclosure:<\/p>\n

Radar dead. Sonar dead. Radio gone. And always at the exact moment the object is closest.<\/p>\n

Historian Richard Dolan has assembled roughly 700 cases of unidentified submerged objects \u2014 and found a pattern in his own spreadsheet that surprised him: during the 1970s, electronic systems failed three times as often during encounters as they otherwise do. Not at some random point, but at the moment of closest approach. Dolan calls it “data denial”, and draws an uncomfortable conclusion from it: we are not studying these objects. They decide what we get to see.<\/p>\n

This conversation covers the 1984 salvage attempt off Lummi Island, where two divers found their recording equipment shutting down the instant they reached the object \u2014 which had vanished without a trace two days later. A silver disc that burst out of Lake Erie in front of a fisherman in 1972. And the question of why more than two thirds of all his cases are transmedium, moving between water and air without apparent effort.<\/p>\n

The US Congress has since widened the definition: UFOs are now UAP, and submerged objects are explicitly included. USOs are officially on the table in Washington. At the same time the US Department of War is releasing files \u2014 Dolan considers them a grab bag without any analysis, and says: “You could do a disclosure very easily if you really wanted to.”<\/p>\n
