A startling UFO encounter reported by NAVY sailors aboard the USS Jackson has reignited intrigue into unexplained aerial phenomena. Witnesses claim four unidentified flying objects emerged from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California before ascending and moving in a synchronized fashion last year, according to JEREMY CORBELL, co-host of the *Weaponized* podcast, who shared the account with Fox 11.
CORBELL, who obtained footage of the incident, described the objects as surpassing any known human-made technology. “[This is] a machine that is able to outpace, outmaneuver, and outperform anything that we know of that’s been made by terrestrial nations,” he stated.
The UFOs reportedly surfaced from the ocean and were initially observed by sailors before appearing on the ship’s radar, according to an unnamed witness. The footage shows the four aircraft grouping together before swiftly departing in unison. “Everybody on the ship knew they were seeing something extraordinary,” CORBELL said. “So obviously people thought it was important to document, and then finally witnesses came forward.”
Interestingly, Pentagon officials have denied any record of the incident. “The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has no record of this alleged UAP incident,” a Pentagon spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The sighting bears striking similarities to the infamous 2004 “Tic Tac” UFO encounter involving the USS Nimitz, which brought national attention to the Pentagon’s classified UFO research programs. In 2020, the Pentagon declassified three Navy videos from 2004 and 2015, which remain unexplained.
CORBELL emphasized that the objects lacked wings or tails, raising questions about their aerodynamic capabilities. However, he dismissed concerns about foreign adversaries, stating, “I’d rather these things be from another planet than an adversarial nation, because if it was an adversarial nation then their ability to weaponize that technology would be unprecedented. Luckily, we don’t see a fingerprint for that.”
The UFO phenomenon continues to spark debate, with Congress working to address the stigma surrounding such sightings. “This UFO phenomenon has been here for a long time, this is not something new, it’s nothing to worry about,” CORBELL added. “It is something that we need to face head-on, and that’s what Congress is trying to do—get people past the stigma so we can know and understand what this technology is, who is operating it, and what is the intent.”
This report builds on ongoing investigations into UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and follows recent revelations by Pentagon officials, including the explanation of a 2016 UFO sighting as a visual illusion caused by parallax.
