Overview
- - The video shows María Corina Machado transferring at night from a coastal skiff to a second vessel at a Caribbean rendezvous, where Grey Bull founder Bryan Stern greets her.
- - In an on-camera message, Machado says she is alive and safe and thanks Grey Bull after a wet, rough approach in darkness.
- - Grey Bull describes the operation as a roughly 16-hour mission complicated by rough seas and communications blackouts during the boat-to-boat linkup.
- - Machado traveled to Oslo soon after the extraction to accept the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, and later presented her medal to President Trump as the Nobel body reiterated the prize itself cannot be transferred.
- - Grey Bull, a Tampa-based donor-funded civilian rescue group led by ex–special operations veterans, released the footage and is described as coordinating alerts with U.S. military authorities, while some reports tie her escape to later U.S. actions in Caracas.
