World-Changing Underwater UFO Is a Threat, Says Ex-Navy Officer (USS Omaha, July 19, 2019)

📍 Location

📝 Description

The July 2019 incident involving the Independence-class littoral combat ship USS Omaha off the Southern California coast is now widely documented as a transmedium UAP event observed by Navy personnel. A spherical object, approximately 6 feet in diameter, was filmed with the ship’s AN/KAX-2 infrared/electro-optical sensor while the Omaha and nearby warships operated in a training/warning area off San Diego. The object hovered above the water, moved across the screen, and then descended into the Pacific Ocean; naval operators discussed launching a helicopter and later conducted a submarine search, which found no wreckage. In May 2021, documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released the footage publicly, and the Pentagon confirmed that the video was taken by Navy personnel and was included in ongoing UAP Task Force examinations. Subsequent coverage (2021–2024) has framed the Omaha incident as a key example of possible underwater/air transmedium phenomena (USOs/UAPs) and highlighted calls by figures like Timothy Gallaudet for expanded oceanic study of such phenomena. The event remains unclassified as a definitive identification, but the video’s authenticity and inclusion in official investigations have been established by multiple credible outlets.

🔍 Circumstances

Date/time: July 15, 2019, around 11:00 pm local time (PDT). Location: warning area off the coast of San Diego, California, in the Pacific Ocean; Ships involved included USS Omaha (LCS-12) and nearby destroyers Pinckney, Kidd, Rafael Peralta. Observers in the USS Omaha’s Combat Information Center tracked a spherical UAP using the AN/KAX-2 sensor; the object hovered over the surface, then appeared to enter the water. A helicopter was discussed; a submarine search was attempted but recovered no wreckage. The footage was later leaked in May 2021 by Jeremy Corbell and subsequently validated by the Pentagon as authentic, with the UAP Task Force (UAPTF) noting the materials in ongoing examinations.

👤 Physical Description

A dark, spherical object about 6 feet (≈2 meters) in diameter. Visual/infrared imagery shows a round, featureless ball moving horizontally, then descending toward and into the water. Radar data described it as a solid sphere; no wings, tails, or visible propulsion were observed in the footage. The object appeared to be illuminated in infrared and exhibited rapid, transmedium-like movement.

ℹ️ Additional Details

Video allegedly recorded from within the USS Omaha’s CIC using the AN/KAX-2 system; leaked footage publicly in May 2021; Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough confirmed the video was taken by Navy personnel and that the UAPTF included it in ongoing examinations; incident occurred within a cluster of July 2019 CA-area sightings involving multiple ships; the broader discussion has tied this case to underwater/USO research and the broader UAP phenomenon; coordinates and some interior dialogue were published in various outlets; no wreckage or debris was recovered from the submerged event.
