USNI ARTICLE (Naval History Magazine, August 2022): Scot Christenson, Director of Communications for the US Naval Institute, published in the official USNI Naval History Magazine: “USOs (unidentified submerged objects) not UFOs have presented the Navy with the greatest hazard.” Christenson documents the USS Stein (DE-1065) 1978 incident: the protective NOFOUL rubber coating on the sonar dome had multiple cuts and scratches after an encounter with an unidentified submerged contact. “To date, there has been no documented damage to a plane caused by a UFO” — but underwater encounters have caused real, documented hardware damage. THE FAST MOVER PROGRAMME — CONFIRMED: Marc D’Antonio (visual effects specialist who has done classified Naval contracts) was invited aboard a US nuclear fast-attack submarine in the North Atlantic as a thank-you for contract work. While at the sonar station, the sonar operator suddenly shouted “fast mover, fast mover” — an anomalous contact moving at impossible speeds underwater. When the sonar operator asked his officer what to do with the contact, the officer replied: “Log it and dog it — log it and bury it.” Years later, D’Antonio asked a senior Naval figure about “the Fast Mover Programme.” The senior figure replied: “Sorry Marc, I can’t talk about that programme.” D’Antonio’s assessment: “What that told me was that USOs are common. We even have a programme in place to classify and log and determine the speed of them, and it goes into a vault.” PROTOCOL DESIGN: According to the same source, anomalous sonar contacts are routinely classified as “seismic” or “biologic” — effectively eliminating the category of truly unexplained phenomena from official records. The sonar system is “uniquely designed” to suppress rather than investigate. CROSS-REFERENCE: This classified “Fast Mover Programme” is the naval equivalent of the DOE’s “log it and bury it” UAP bureaucracy (NNSA sole jurisdiction ruling, April 2026). NURO (National Underwater Reconnaissance Office, Joint Navy-CIA body) and the Soviet Kvakeri program (300Hz classified signals, still state secret) are the institutional counterparts.
