UFO and Soviet Submarine in Sweden

Summary

In 1981, a Soviet submarine, the U-137, ran aground in a Swedish fjord, causing international concern. According to testimonies, the submarine was ordered to self-destruct with its crew and nuclear torpedoes if necessary. This raised fears of a potential nuclear disaster. The former commander of the submarine, Anatoliy Gushchin, claimed it carried nuclear weapons, while other officers questioned the validity of these orders. The controversy intensified with conflicting statements from various sources, including Karl Andersson, a Swedish national hero who negotiated with the submarine. Andersson, however, downplayed rumors of foreign submarine incursions into Swedish waters, comparing them to flying saucer stories. Meanwhile, Russian officers like Vladimir Vazhov argued it was technically impossible for the submarine to self-destruct as claimed. The case remains a mystery, with unanswered questions about military orders and nuclear weapon safety.
