51:28Now PlayingTens of thousands of unidentified submersible objects, or USOs, have been sighted off U.S. shorelines and in major bodies of water in recent years, with nearly 400 sightings reported off the coast of California alone. In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with astroparticle physicist Dr. Matthew Szydagis and UAP researcher Ben Hansen to break down their findings from expeditions to Catalina Island. They discuss anomalous activity and reports of USO sightings, strange occurrences and technical malfunctions when surveying the area and the possibility of the existence of underwater bases.
