Overview
- The Enigma app has logged more than 30,000 reports since 2022, including over 9,000 sightings within 10 miles of U.S. shorelines, roughly 500 within five miles, and over 150 describing objects hovering above or entering the water.
- Enigma’s maps show dense coastal clusters, with California reporting 389 USO cases and Florida 306, the highest totals among states cited in coverage.
- Some submissions include phone video of glowing green lights moving beneath the ocean surface, adding visual material to predominantly eyewitness reports.
- The Pentagon previously authenticated 2019 USS Omaha footage of an object entering the Pacific without debris, and AARO says it has investigated several incidents but has released few conclusions.
- Retired Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet warns that seamless air‑sea transitions could be consequential for security, while scientists stress that many sightings likely reflect misidentifications or natural phenomena and that crowdsourced counts do not confirm advanced technology.
