In March 1971, the submarine USS Trepang was on one of its first missions, operating beneath the Arctic polar ice cap while carrying out a number of geological tests and other scientific experiments.
Many years later, in 2015, photos came to light which had allegedly been taken by this Naval attack submarine. Some hailed these photos as the greatest evidence of alien visitations that has ever been found.
The black and white images were apparently taken from the USS Trepang from the surface of the ocean, during a journey from Iceland to Norway's Jan Mayen island in the Atlantic Ocean.
They appear to depict some form of spacecraft bursting out of the sea and into the sky. Some suggested that these images reveal top secret US aircraft testing, or that they point to aliens searching for hydrocarbon deposits under the ocean.
The appearance of the triangular and cigar-shaped objects in the photos is in keeping with that of other alleged UFO sightings, although the photos are too low-resolution for details to be discernible.
The photos themselves are said to have been inscribed, quote, “Official Photograph. Not to be Released” and “Unauthorized Disclosure Subject. Security Certificate SSN 674. Criminal Sanction.”
Their tattered, worn appearance suggests that they may have been folded and stowed away somewhere safe since the early ‘70s...

![5 Disastrous Math Fails with Surprising Consequences
NASA and Lockheed Martin lost about 125 million dollars in late 1999 because of a highly preventable mistake. The Mars Climate Orbiter project was a joint effort between the companies, and the plans appeared to be going smoothly until nine months after launching, when NASA lost contact with the orbiter. It then took the engineers an embarrassing amount of time to understand what had happened.
The unmanned craft reached the red planet on September 23 and executed a 16-minute-and-23-second main engine burn. The plans called for it to establish an orbit around Mars at 150 kilometers, but it was never heard from again when it passed behind Mars.
The crash of the orbiter on Mars was the climax of a series of significant spaceflight failures. Billions of dollars worth of research, military, and communications were wasted or simply left floating around in orbit, completely useless.
A national security review concluded that several of those failures had happened due to an overemphasis on cost-cutting, mismanagement, or poor quality control. But the mistake the engineers made with the Mars Climate Orbiter was so simple it was deemed appalling.
It so happens that the navigation team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory used the metric system, while Lockheed Martin Aeronautics provided crucial data on acceleration in the imperial system. Therefore, JPL engineers mistook the acceleration readings in pound-second for metric newton-seconds.
John Logsdon, the director of George Washington University’s space policy institute, expressed: “That is so dumb.”
NASA officials and Lockheed executives eventually launched an investigation to clarify why no one detected the error during development or during the 9 months that the orbiter traveled 461 million miles towards the neighboring planet.
The orbiter went so off track that it penetrated the Martian atmosphere to a great degree and was destroyed in consequence.
John Pike, space policy director at the Federation of American Scientists, admitted: “I can’t think of another example of this kind of large loss due to English-versus-metric confusion. It is going to be [sic] the cautionary tale until the end of time.” 5 Disastrous Math Fails with Surprising Consequences](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/caaVAsPyEes/mqdefault.jpg)
