The Threat Is Beneath Us: Congressman Points to Five "Alien Bases" in US Waters

Opinion | What Then Studio

For decades, we have been pointing our telescopes at the stars, waiting for a signal. It turns out, we might have been looking in the wrong direction. A new wave of disclosures from Capitol Hill suggests that the "visitors" aren't just visiting—they might be commuting. And their garage is the ocean floor.

According to recent leaks following classified briefings, members of Congress, including Rep. Tim Burchett and Rep. Lauren Boebert, have alluded to the existence of specific underwater locations where UAP activity is so intense it suggests a permanent presence. We aren't talking about a crash site. We are talking about bases.

The Leak: Five Locations, Zero Answers

The headline-grabbing claim is specific: Five locations. While the exact coordinates remain classified, leaks from closed-door hearings indicate that the US Navy has tracked objects moving at hundreds of knots underwater—speeds that defy physics—originating from or returning to these specific spots.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) has been the tip of the spear on this disclosure. He has gone on record stating he has spoken to credible whistleblowers and military personnel who have witnessed these craft. The implication is terrifyingly simple: The US government knows where they live, and they are powerless to evict them.

Why We Should Have Looked Down

It makes perfect strategic sense. If you wanted to hide on Earth, where would you go? The cities are covered in cameras. The skies are patrolled by radar. But the deep ocean? We have mapped more of the surface of Mars than our own ocean floor.

These "USOs" (Unidentified Submersible Objects) utilize the density of water as cover. At 20,000 feet deep, there is no NORAD. There are no curious civilians with iPhones. It is the perfect blind spot, and reports suggest they have been utilizing it for decades, possibly centuries.

The Catalina Anomaly

While the "five bases" remain officially classified, internet sleuths and oceanographers have some pretty good guesses. The most notorious suspect? The channel between Long Beach and Catalina Island off the coast of California.

For years, Navy pilots have reported "Tic-Tac" objects dropping from 80,000 feet to sea level in seconds, only to vanish beneath the waves without a splash. The seabed off Catalina features a massive, unexplained shelf drop-off that would be the perfect hangar door for a transmedium craft. If one of the five bases isn't there, we would be shocked.

The Transmedium Nightmare

The term keeping Pentagon generals up at night is "Transmedium Travel." We have submarines that are great in water but useless in air. We have jets that own the sky but disintegrate if they hit water. These UAP/USOs do both, effortlessly.

Witnesses describe craft moving at Mach speeds in the air, then hitting the water without slowing down, effectively ignoring the laws of inertia and hydrodynamics. If an adversary (human or otherwise) has a base that can launch a craft from the ocean floor to orbit in seconds, traditional defense systems are obsolete.

Our Take: The Ultimate Stealth

At What Then Studio, we believe this disclosure is the most significant pivot in UFO history. By admitting the threat is underwater, the government is essentially admitting they have lost control of their own territory. Airspace is one thing; but if "they" are in our oceans, they are in our backyard, and they have the keys to the house.
