π Description
Comprehensive update: The USS Omaha incident occurred on July 15, 2019, off the coast of San Diego, California, during Navy exercises in a designated warning area. Navy CIC footage shows a spherical, about 6-foot-diameter UAP hovering and moving near the ship, with radar data indicating multiple unknown targets present for an extended period. One sphere reportedly descended into the Pacific and the search for wreckage by a submarine found nothing. In May 2021, documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released the footage publicly; the Pentagon confirmed the video was taken by Navy personnel and that the Navyβs Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) included the incident in their ongoing examinations. Subsequent reporting up through 2025 indicates the case remains unexplained, with official statements consistently stopping short of attributing the phenomenon to extraterrestrial technology. The broader AARO framework in 2023β2024 has continued transparency efforts but has not publicized a definitive explanation for this particular event.
