Hey, here's something new to fear. The U.S. Navy detected a Russian nuclear-powered attack sub roughly 275 miles from America's East Coast late last month. The Sierra-2 submarine was believed to be patrolling the deep Atlantic waters, which, according to CNN, is something that the Russian government has said they'd be doing. The sub was not close to any Navy submarine bases, and military officials aren't saying how they detected the vessel's presence. "Things worked the way they were supposed to," one official cryptically said. The Navy is reportedly tracking the sub, which it says is now heading back toward Europe (and also into our nightmares).
