π Description
A spherical unidentified object observed from the USS Omaha off the coast of San Diego on July 15, 2019. The object, roughly 2 meters (6 feet) in diameter, hovered and moved near the ocean surface for about an hour, then descended and vanished into the water.

The Pentagon confirmed the video as authentic and referenced the incident in UAP investigations; some reports describe up to 14 contacts on radar during the encounter. No wreckage or debris was recovered after the sub was sent to the area. The case remains officially unresolved with no definitive identification of the object.
