A group of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) spotted by Navy sailors off the coast of California last year has reignited intrigue and speculation. Witnesses reported observing four oddly-shaped aircraft emerging from the Pacific Ocean before jetting off in a strikingly synchronized fashion.
The sighting occurred aboard the USS Jackson and was later detailed by JEREMY CORBELL, co-host of the *Weaponized* podcast, during an interview with Fox 11. According to CORBELL, the objects exhibited capabilities far beyond 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 technology and terrestrial nations,” CORBELL stated.
An unnamed witness explained that the UFOs first emerged from the ocean and were visually spotted by sailors before appearing on the ship’s radar. Footage of the incident, recorded by the Navy warship and obtained by CORBELL, shows the four aircraft grouping together before accelerating 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.”
The Pentagon, however, has denied any record of the incident. A spokesperson for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) stated, “[AARO] has no record of this alleged UAP [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena] incident.”
CORBELL noted that the objects lacked wings or tails, raising questions about their aerodynamic capabilities. Despite the mystery, he dismissed the possibility of the objects being operated by a foreign adversary.
“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,” he said. “Luckily, we don’t see a fingerprint for that.”
The sighting bears similarities to the infamous “Tic Tac” UFO incident involving the USS Nimitz in 2004, which gained national attention in 2017 and revealed previously undisclosed Pentagon programs focused on UFO research.
In 2020, the Pentagon released three declassified Navy videos from UFO encounters in 2004 and 2015, emphasizing that the aerial phenomena observed remain “unidentified.”
Last year, DR. JON KOSLOSKI, director of the AARO, testified to Congress about a separate UFO incident involving the USS Theodore Roosevelt in 2016. Through geospatial intelligence analysis, officials determined the object was not moving at extraordinary speeds but was a result of a visual trick known as parallax.
“Through a very careful geospatial intelligence analysis and using trigonometry, we assess with high confidence that the object is not actually close to the water but is rather closer to 13,000 feet,” KOSLOSKI explained.
CORBELL urged calm regarding the recent sighting, emphasizing that the UFO phenomenon is not new and should be addressed openly.
“This UFO phenomenon has been here for a long time; this is not something new, it’s nothing to worry about,” he said. “It is something that we need to face head-on, and that’s what Congress is trying to do—get people to get past the stigma so we can know and understand what this technology is, who is operating it, and what is the intent.”
