Overview
- Enigma reports more than 9,000 Unidentified Submersible Object sightings within 10 miles of U.S. shorelines since August 2025, part of roughly 30,000 total entries since 2022.
- Clusters appear along both coasts, with California leading at 389 reports and Florida at 306, according to data highlighted by Marine Technology News.
- Roughly 500 of the recent reports were within five miles of shore, and over 150 describe objects hovering above, entering, or emerging from bodies of water.
- The dataset includes cellphone clips such as glowing lights below the surface, while earlier Pentagon-authenticated 2019 Navy footage shows an object entering the Pacific near the USS Omaha.
- Retired Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet warns that transmedium encounters could pose maritime security risks, and outlets say Enigma and the Pentagon did not respond to requests for comment.
