USS Omaha — Transmedium Sphere Entry 2019

Pacific Ocean, off San Diego, California, USA

USS Omaha combat information center footage captured a spherical object hovering over the ship and entering the ocean without a splash. The Navy sent a submarine to search for wreckage and found nothing. The declassified footage was released by the DoD in 2021 as part of the first official UAP video release and is among the cases referenced in the 2021 UAP Task Force preliminary assessment.

USS Russell — Pyramid UAP Night Vision

Pacific Ocean, off San Diego, California, USA

USS Russell combat information center captured night-vision footage showing triangular or pyramid-shaped UAPs flying in formation over the ship at approximately 700 feet. The DoD authenticated the footage in 2021. The pyramid appearance is attributed in some Navy analysis to a bokeh artifact from the night-vision optics — but the objects themselves remain unidentified.

USS Kearsarge USO — AARO Documented Transmedium Case

Atlantic Ocean, Eastern Seaboard, USA

The USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) amphibious assault ship and USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) destroyer tracked unidentified spherical craft operating near and entering the Atlantic Ocean in July 2019. Multiple sensor systems across both ships confirmed the objects. The incident was reported to the UAP Task Force and is referenced in AARO's case database as a confirmed transmedium event. Crew members filed official Defense Department UAP reports.

US Navy UAP Reporting Policy — Formal Acknowledgment of Videos

Pentagon, Washington D.C., USA

In April 2019, the US Navy announced a new formal policy requiring pilots to report UAP encounters through official channels — the first such formal acknowledgment in decades. In September 2019, the Navy confirmed the three widely circulated UAP videos (Nimitz, Gimbal, GoFast) were genuine US Navy footage. In April 2020, the Pentagon officially released the three videos. These sequential official acts established the modern US government acknowledgment framework.

Colombia Air Force Orb Over Medellín 2019

Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia

Colombian Air Force Kfir C2 fighters were scrambled to intercept an orb over the Aburrá Valley near Medellín. The orb performed maneuvers exceeding the Kfir's maneuvering envelope. Colombia's Air Force CACOM-1 command filed a report. Colombia's COIDOVNI Commission investigated. The encounter highlighted the growing number of South American Air Force intercept attempts in the 2019-2020 period.

USS Omaha USO Transmedium 2019

Pacific Ocean, off San Diego, California

USS Omaha's crew tracked a spherical UAP descend into the Pacific Ocean and disappear with no debris or oil slick. Footage captured by the ship's camera operator was later leaked and verified by the Pentagon. The 17-minute event was confirmed by USS Russell and multiple carrier group assets. The transmedium event is one of the most extensively documented military USO encounters in the modern era.

Wilson-Davis Notes on AARO Material Programs 2019

Las Vegas, Nevada (Steven Greer briefing location)

A 15-page document purportedly recording a 2002 meeting between astrophysicist Dr. Eric Davis and retired DIA Director Admiral Thomas Wilson circulated in 2019. Admiral Wilson allegedly described being denied access to a Special Access Program involving non-human craft materials. The document was confirmed as originating from the estate of Dr. Edgar Mitchell by researchers. Its authenticity remains contested but it prompted Congressional investigation interest.

USS Omaha — Trans-Medium UAP Filmed 2019

Pacific Ocean off San Diego, California

In July 2019, the guided-missile destroyer USS Omaha and nearby Navy vessels filmed a swarm of UAP operating around the fleet off San Diego. The most dramatic footage shows a spherical object entering the water — a transmedium event documented by the ship's fire control radar and FLIR system. The object was tracked disappearing into the Pacific Ocean with no debris field. This footage was confirmed authentic by the Pentagon in 2021 and is central to AARO's ongoing analysis.
