USS Omaha USO Transmedium 2019

On July 15, 2019, USS Omaha (LCS-12), a Littoral Combat Ship operating in a carrier strike group exercise approximately 100 miles off San Diego, tracked a spherical UAP that hovered over the ship before descending toward the ocean surface. Ship cameras captured the object descending and disappearing into the water. The crew dispatched a submarine asset to search the area; the submarine found nothing — no debris, no oil slick, no acoustic signatures. The event was observed by multiple ships in the strike group. Commander Task Force 3 radar tracked the aerial portion of the event. F/A-18 aircrews from the accompanying carrier also observed the contact. Footage from USS Omaha's cameras was leaked to the public in 2021 and subsequently confirmed authentic by the Pentagon's UAPTF director. The USS Omaha USO event is one of the most extensively documented military transmedium encounters in the modern era, captured on calibrated military camera systems with independent multi-platform confirmation.
