SSN-674 Trepang: Unveiling Its Role in UAP Encounters and WEPEX 1971 Exercises

Retired Navy Submarine’s Unusual Reputation for ‘UAP Attractors’ Reignites Interest


In a fascinating twist from the annals of naval history, the retired submarine SSN-674 Trepang is once again capturing the public’s imagination. This time, it’s not for its military exploits, but rather for its intriguing connections to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)—what most people would call UFOs.

The SSN-674 Trepang, a Sturgeon-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, saw active service from the late 1960s through the early 90s. Recently, it’s become the focus of some riveting discussions thanks to declassified documents and firsthand accounts that suggest the sub may have encountered and perhaps even attracted UAPs during its service.

One particular event that stands out is the underwater experiences during WEPEX 1971, a Western Pacific Exercise that left many crew members with stories to tell. Veteran submariners who were part of WEPEX 1971 recall extraordinary observations that they couldn’t easily explain—sightings of strange objects moving at incredible speeds, changing directions without any discernible propulsion systems, and generally defying the known laws of physics.

The term ‘UAP attractors’ has become somewhat synonymous with the SSN-674 due to these peculiar reports. While the idea of submarines attracting UFOs might seem like the stuff of science fiction, the detailed accounts offer food for thought. Could certain submarines emit signals or create conditions that draw these mysterious objects? It’s a question that has captivated both military historians and UFO enthusiasts alike.

In recent years, a renewed interest in the subject of UAPs has led both governmental and private entities to dive into older military logs and testimonies, hoping to unlock secrets of unexplained aerial and underwater encounters. Notably, in 2021, the Pentagon released a report acknowledging UAPs, which has only stirred more curiosity and opened the door for further investigation.

The SSN-674 Trepang may no longer be diving the deep blue seas, but its legacy continues to intrigue and mystify. As more information surfaces and more former crew members come forward, the web of mystery surrounding these so-called UAP attractors seems poised to grow even more intricate. For now, the Trepang stands as a testament to the enigmatic encounters that blur the lines between known technology and the vast unknown.


Stay tuned as we continue to explore these naval mysteries and the fascinating stories behind them.
