Tim Gallaudet (Rear Admiral, Transmedium/Ocean UAP, Jan 2015 Incident)
01 Executive_Summary
ASSESSMENT: Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet (US Navy, Ret.) documented a January 2015 URGENT SAFETY OF FLIGHT UAP incident and advocates for ocean UAP research. Former Acting Undersecretary of Commerce/NOAA Administrator, Oceanographer of the Navy, Superintendent of US Naval Observatory. PhD Scripps Institution of Oceanography. JANUARY 2015 INCIDENT: Commander of Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command. Pre-deployment exercise with USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group. Received email on Navy secure network: 'URGENT SAFETY OF FLIGHT ISSUE.' 'Highlighted a dangerous culture of over-classification, where even pressing safety-of-flight issues could be swept aside under the pretense of secrecy.' Never signed NDA about UAPs. SOL FOUNDATION PAPER (March 2024): 'Beneath the Surface: We May Learn More about UAP by Looking in the Ocean.' Transmedium UAP (air-water), USOs (Unidentified Submersible Objects). Nimitz Tic Tac hovered above 'roiling ocean whitewater' — possible underwater UAP. USS Omaha 2019: transmedium UAP splashed into ocean without debris. 'Jeopardizes US maritime security.' 'Transmedium UAP and USOs should be elevated to national ocean research priorities.' ROLES: Sol Foundation Advisory Board, UAP Disclosure Fund Advisory Board (with Mellon), Americans for Safe Aerospace (with Graves), Harvard Galileo Project (with Loeb). House hearing witness (November 13, 2024). CRITICAL: Transmedium capability = consistent with plasma structures (can operate in any medium). USS Omaha 'no debris' = consistent with plasma (no solid material). Underwater plasma discharges could create 'white water.'
