Part Two

To this day, Project AZORIAN is the deepest salvage operation ever attempted and was so far beyond the cutting-edge of 1970s technology that the Soviets considered it to be impossible. A brief flurry of press attention in 1975 resulted in a special presidential gag order being put in place by then President Gerald Ford. This security provision has effectively blocked normal declassification systems and Freedom of Information Act requests to this day. Finally, however, some mission members and senior engineers of Project AZORIAN have stepped out of the shadows to help tell this dramatic story in their own words. Utilizing extensive, accurate CGI reconstruction of the salvage attempt, plus never before seen film of the actual recovery itself, and based upon contemporaneous documents, AZORIAN: The Raising of K-129 provides the first factual and documented account of this unique event ever made available outside the confines of US Intelligence agencies.
