That (and "this is how you create Kaiju" [2]) is what I was thinking.
For those who don't recognize it, "Glomar" is short for "Global Marine" and was a fake company setup by Howard Huges to do seafloor mining. It was actually a front where Huges helped the US government try to recover a sunken Russian sub. It's notable for being the case that caused the phrase "Can neither confirm nor deny" to have to be created, which is why it's called the "Glomar response".
