TL;DR — UFO author Richard Dolan’s self-published catalogue of reported sightings of unidentified objects in or under the sea, from Columbus to 1969.
The first volume of a series by Richard Dolan, a prominent writer on UFOs, published by his own imprint in March 2025. It collects reported sightings of unidentified submerged objects (USOs) — craft or lights seen entering, leaving or moving under water — from early accounts, starting with lights reported by Christopher Columbus, through 1969.
The introduction discusses why underwater sightings matter to UFO research, government secrecy, Dolan’s sources and how he categorises entries. The chapters then run chronologically through the cases, and appendices tabulate the sightings by decade, time of day, reported shape and claimed “transmedium” behaviour.
What it is: A self-published compilation by a UFO researcher; it collects claims and press reports and argues for their significance. Not peer-reviewed. In copyright.
