Enigma, a popular UFO reporting app, has recorded thousands of unidentified underwater objects (UUOs) off the coast of the United States, with senior US Navy officials warning that these phenomena could pose a threat to the country’s national security. This is reported by The New York Post.
Enigma, which bills itself as “the largest requested historical database of UFO sightings worldwide,” claims to have received reports of more than 30,000 unidentified flying objects and unidentified anomalous phenomena since launching in late 2022. But the observations are not limited to the sky, there are also reports of strange objects rising from the depths of the sea or sinking into the water without any splashes,” the publication says.
It is noted that, as of August, the tracker also registered more than 9,000 mysterious incidents within 10 miles of the U.S. coastline or large bodies of water, with more than 150 reports describing objects hovering above or diving into the water. The most mysterious phenomena were registered in the states of California (389) and Florida (306).
The app has published maps showing the locations indicated in the messages, which are a cluster of orange dots along the east and west coasts of the United States.
Most of the scientific community is skeptical about UFOs, the newspaper writes, but retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet warns that objects capable of diving from the air into the sea without crashing or even splashing can lead to “world-changing” consequences.
“The fact that unidentified objects with unexplained characteristics are entering U.S. waters, and the Department of Defense is not raising a giant red flag, is a sign that the government is not sharing everything it knows about anomalous phenomena in all domains,” Gallaudet said in a March 2024 report.
It is noted that in July 2019, the USS Omaha recorded a UFO that disappeared without a trace in the ocean after flying over the facilities of the American Navy off the coast of San Diego. The Pentagon conducted an analysis of the video recording, which revealed opportunities that, according to Gallaudet, “threaten the maritime security of the United States, which is already weakened by our relative ignorance of the oceans.”
