BUT, I could be wrong.
I remember reading about this story some years ago. It was then speculated that indeed this was an experimental sub which, if you consider the Japanese I400 subs (Largest at that time) that carried 3 aircraft while submerged in the 1940's, a tracked sub is within the realms of naval architecture in the 90's. The I400's were un thought of by the allies and were initially approved by Yamamoto who cared for a fleet of such to carry out attacks on the USA mainland and Panama. Another large Japanese sub launched mini subs in an attack upon Sydney Harbor. Previous to the attack a Japanese float plane was seen scoping the area.
I can see from my perspective that the vessel that left the tracks in the vid would be immense but so are most subs nowadays. My thoughts are that the tracks end with the sub rising off the sea bed and perhaps returning to whence it came.
Intriguing to say the least.
Cheers for the post,
