Report Type: Transmedium UAP/USO (optical/infrared / FLIR) Date: July 15, 2019 Time: Approximately 11:00 PM local time (nighttime infrared footage) Location Name: Pacific Ocean (off San Diego coast, Southern California) Country: United States (offshore, warning area) GPS Coordinates: Approx. 32.0000° N, 118.0000° W (near San Clemente Island / San Nicolas Island vicinity)
What Happened: Crew aboard the USS Omaha (LCS-12), a U.S. Navy Independence-class littoral combat ship, observed and recorded multiple unidentified objects using shipboard radar, electro-optical, and forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensors. One prominent spherical object, estimated at around 6 feet in diameter and appearing as a solid mass on thermal imaging (cooler than surrounding air/water), hovered, maneuvered alongside the ship, and then descended rapidly into the ocean without visible deceleration, splash, or wake—demonstrating apparent transmedium capabilities.
The incident was part of a larger multi-day event where up to 14 unknown objects swarmed the USS Omaha and other Navy vessels in the area over several hours, tracked on radar and other sensors. Audio from the Combat Information Center (CIC) captured crew reactions, including exclamations like “It splashed!” as the object entered the water. The footage and images were later declassified and confirmed authentic by Pentagon officials.
Additional Details: This case is one of several high-profile Navy UAP encounters off the U.S. West Coast in 2019, adding to the body of evidence for transmedium vehicles in official Pentagon/UAP Task Force reviews. Proponents highlight the multi-sensor corroboration (radar + infrared), object endurance, and lack of conventional explanation. Skeptics and some analyses suggest possible drones, balloons, or sensor artifacts, though the official release and confirmation underscore its significance in modern UAP discourse. It remains a key example in discussions of unidentified submerged objects (USOs) and potential national security implications.
