    The book called “The CIA’s Greatest Covert Operation” was written by David H. Sharp who was the head CIA agent on the recovery mission for the K129. Sadly, David died in the past year or so ago. I was the resident Naval Architect on the recovery mission overseeing the ship’s stability and hull bending forces, longitudinal strength. I asked David if this project was a highlight of his career of which he said “yes” adding that is was a highlight for many others he worked with, myself included. As part of the very thick cover story that the ship was deep ocean mining for manganese nodules, the CIA hired Manfred Krutein who was pioneering the idea of deep ocean mining for manganese nodules. The only place I have found Manfred’s covert CIA story about his involvement in this faux mining project is in the book he and his wife wrote, “Amerika? America!” By Eva and Manfred Krutein. Fun book, short and easy read.

      There is a lot of inaccuracies in this. It also perpetuates the false claim the sub was "winched" to the surface. Everything was hydraulic. This is also a MASSIVE mistake since it is such a crucial part of the sub breaking apart and falling back. The hydraulics work on pressure which is counterbalanced by the weight of the sub. When the weight of the sub was offloaded and fell back to ocean floor this was quite dangerous and could have sunk the glomar explorer if not for some relief valves. Think of a set of balanced scales. What happens when one side becomes lighter. The CIA are not lying about this and it's and extremely important part of the story.

    The majority of the Golf sub broke off and sunk. Yet, if you survey that part of the northern Pacific, you wont find any remaining sections of that Soviet ballistic missile submarine.... And neither the Soviets, nor anyone else, save the US, had the technology to retrieve it. The CIA has a history of portraying themselves as unlucky and perhaps even bumbling incthese endeavors. Yet, they won the Cold War. And noone , outside of the agency, and certain contractors, knows whether that Soviet missile sub really broke or not. If it didn't, yet the Soviets, as well as the press, and American society thinks it did, that would almost be as good as noone knowing we were even there....

    Regarding triangulation: Your explanation and diagrams (Eg: 3:10) is not how triangulation works. The reception stations do not take bearings on each other and draw lines between the reception stations. Two or more reception stations take bearings on the source of a signal (acoustic, radio frequency, light, whatever...) and draw a line from themselves on that bearing. Where the bearing lines from the reception stations meet is the location of the signal source. Depending on the geometry of the situation three or more reception stations may be required.

    You cannot make this up. I read about project Azorian some years back and this narration is way better.

    THE wildest story of the Cold War by a long shot... and there are dozens of unbelievable stories!
    When I heard this story for the first time, I double checked for quite a while before accepting it as truth.
    Just bonkers!

    If cia goes through this much trouble to recover a Soviet submarine imagine what they’ve done to recover, coverup and create cover stories to recover and hide any extraterrestrial ufos

      This is what I tell people who believe that the government doesn't cover things up. Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.

    Watched Ice Station Zebra 150 times in a row, saving my urine in jars and I've been locked in my own movie theater for 4 months and I see I've missed the debut of this video

    What an elaborate plan... just yesterday UA-cam's algorithm suggested the movie Hunter Killer about the search for a Russian sub. But this story is so much cooler... that submerged barge, then having the ship retrieve its claw from it... that's... special. Clementine, you say? And Howard fucking Hughes! Oh man, I could make that into such a good film.

    They claim they only managed to lift part of the sub then returned the ships bell to Russia. It was not on the bit they claimed to have raised!

    This is a fascinating story. They should make a movie about this stuff. But I wonder if it really split and a half, who knows all we know is they got something?
