Underwater UFO Sightings: On Thursday's show, researcher, MUFON investigator, and author of 15 books on UFOs, ghosts and the paranormal, Preston Dennett discussed underwater UFO activity off the coast of Southern California and other locations, as well as evidence for UFO healings of illnesses. There've been numerous sightings of UFOs or USOs (unidentified submersible objects) in which craft hit water at a high rate of speed and then appear to be swallowed up. One location in particular, a deep channel/trench near Catalina Island, has been a hotbed of USO activity, he reported. A witness on a Navy ship saw glowing objects hovering, and breaking in pattern a couple miles out to sea, he detailed. Dennett reviewed a number of cases from the 1950s. One incident in January 1956, involved multiple witnesses including police officers, who saw a glowing bright object about 12-feet across land offshore at Redondo Beach, CA. The object disappeared and divers unsuccessfully tried to locate it. Later,  the Coast Guard tried to claim that the mysterious object was a light buoy. In 1954, a fireball was seen moving in and out of the water near a Japanese steamship, Dennett added.
