Unveiling the Glomar Secret The CIA’s Top Secret Cold War Operation

In the Cold War’s shadowy realm, the Glomar Explorer’s tale unfolds as a covert CIA mission, Project Azorian, aimed at recovering the sunken Soviet submarine K-129. Concealed under the guise of a deep-sea mining venture, the operation faced immense challenges and secrecy. Although partially successful, it yielded valuable intelligence on Soviet technology. Classified until the 1990s, it birthed the term “Glomar response,“ reflecting a legacy of discretion in U.S. intelligence. #ColdWar #Espionage #CIA #GlomarExplorer #SecretMission
