- Enigma Labs logged over 9,000 USO incidents near U.S. coastlines since late 2022, showing persistent coastal clusters from California to Florida.
- Hundreds of sightings describe objects transitioning seamlessly between air and water, including silent hovering and rapid submersions that defy known physics.
- Military reports, congressional claims, and growing databases have intensified calls for transparency and deeper investigation into all-domain anomalous phenomena.
October 27, 2025 – For years, the skies over the United States have been a canvas for strange lights and erratic maneuvers, but now the mystery is dipping below the surface.
Reports of unidentified submersible objects – or USOs – darting through coastal waters are piling up at an alarming rate, prompting questions about everything from national defense to the very physics we thought we understood.
A new analysis from Enigma Labs, a crowdsourced UFO tracking platform, has cataloged over 9,000 such incidents near U.S. shorelines since late 2022, with hotspots stretching from California’s rugged Pacific cliffs to Florida’s sun-soaked Atlantic beaches.

The Enigma report, which draws from more than 30,000 global sightings logged on its app, paints a picture of activity that’s not just aerial but amphibious.
More than 500 of these USOs were spotted within five miles of the coast, and over 150 describe objects that seem to transition effortlessly between air and water – hovering silently before plunging in without so much as a ripple.
“These aren’t just stories from the fringe,” the report notes, highlighting phone footage from a June 11, 2023, encounter off Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where green lights streaked beneath the waves, captured by boaters who described the sight as “eerie and impossible to explain.”
California leads the pack with 389 reports, followed closely by Florida at 306, according to Enigma’s data.
Maps released by the platform show clusters of orange dots hugging the East and West coasts, a visual reminder that these aren’t isolated flukes but patterns persisting over years.
Glowing orbs, fast-moving submerged shapes, and lights that flicker like bioluminescent signals – the descriptions vary, but the consistency is what unnerves experts.
Pentagon Report Details 757 New UFO Sightings
Newsweek reports that it reached out to the Department of Defense for comment on the latest figures, but as of press time, no response had been forthcoming.
This underwater angle adds a chilling dimension to the broader surge in unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs, as the military now calls them.
In a revelation that’s fueling fresh buzz in UFO circles, Tennessee Republican Congressman Tim Burchett has claimed that extraterrestrial beings might be hunkered down in as many as five or six underwater bases lurking off the United States’ coastline.
The outspoken lawmaker, a key voice in congressional probes into unidentified aerial phenomena, dropped the eyebrow-raising assertion during a casual sidewalk chat that’s since gone viral, insisting that advanced alien “entities” could have been chilling in Earth’s deep seas for millennia.
Just last week, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) dropped its annual report, detailing 757 new UAP sightings from May 2023 to June 2024 alone – a jump from the 291 reports in the prior period.
Most turned out to be mundane culprits like balloons, birds, or drones, with 70% of resolved cases pinned on inflated party favors gone astray.
But 21 incidents remain baffling, including a heart-stopping near-miss over the Atlantic off New York’s coast, where a commercial airliner came within seconds of colliding with a “cylindrical object” that vanished without a trace.
No injuries or crashes were reported in any of those 757 cases, the Pentagon emphasized, but the implications for aviation safety are hard to ignore.
“AARO continues its research into, and analysis of, this case,” the report dryly states about the New York incident, underscoring the office’s mandate to destigmatize reporting and dig deeper.
The Government is at a Turning Point with Disclosure
Established in 2022 as a successor to the short-lived Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, AARO has fielded over 1,652 reports to date, with a focus on threats in air, sea, space, and even land domains.
Yet, the office insists there’s “no evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology” – a line that’s become almost rote in these disclosures.The coastal connection runs deeper in military testimonies that have trickled out over the past year.
During a September 9, 2025, House Oversight Committee hearing on UAPs, Navy veteran Alexandro Wiggins recounted a February 15, 2023, encounter aboard the USS Jackson off southern California.
“It’s coming right for us!” he recalled his shipmates shouting as a “self-luminous” object burst from the ocean, joined by three others that accelerated away at speeds defying conventional propulsion.
Wiggins, speaking in his personal capacity after 23 years in the Navy, described the objects as seamless in their water-to-air shift, echoing patterns in the Enigma data.
Such accounts aren’t new, but their volume is. The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), a nonprofit that’s been logging sightings since the 1970s, added 929 reports to its database just since late August 2025, bringing the first half of the year’s total to 2,174 – up from 1,492 in the same period of 2024 and 2,077 in 2023.
Investigators there vetted four standout 2024 cases as “anomalous,” including octahedron-shaped objects – eight-sided, double-pyramid forms – that popped up in multiple witness interviews.
“The witnesses were deemed to be credible,” NUFORC stated, a nod to the growing reliability of reports from pilots, sailors, and everyday folks armed with smartphones.
Retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, a vocal advocate for transparency, has been sounding the alarm on these transmedium threats for months.
In a March 2024 report, he warned: “The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering US water space and the DOD is not raising a giant red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena.”
Gallaudet’s words carry weight; he’s no stranger to the seas, having helmed oceanographic surveys that mapped underwater anomalies long before USOs entered the lexicon.
Leading Experts Point Towards Extraterrestrial Beings
In a revelation that’s sending shockwaves through Washington and beyond, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has publicly confirmed what whistleblowers and declassified reports have whispered for decades: unidentified objects are repeatedly breaching the skies above America’s most sensitive nuclear facilities.
The admission comes in a gripping new trailer for the documentary The Age of Disclosure, set to stream on Prime Video November 21, 2025, and it’s reigniting a fierce debate about government secrecy, national security, and what — or who — might be watching our deadliest weapons.
“We’ve had repeated instances of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities — and it’s not ours,” he tells director Dan Farah, his voice steady but laced with the gravity of someone who’s seen classified briefings most of us can only imagine.
He doubles down on the urgency, stating, “And we don’t know whose it is. That alone deserves inquiry, deserves attention, deserves focus.”
But it gets stranger — On August 11, 2025, a former U.S. intelligence official and UFO whistleblower, Dr. Eric Davis, made headlines by claiming during a Capitol Hill briefing that the U.S. government is aware of four distinct types of extraterrestrial beings: “Grays,” “Nordics,” “Insectoids,” and “Reptilians.”
Davis, a physicist and former consultant for the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), detailed the alleged alien types during a closed-door briefing with congressional staff.
The briefing, organized to push for declassification of UAP-related information, follows a series of high-profile congressional hearings on the topic.
What Happens Next?
As Enigma’s database grows – now the self-proclaimed “largest queryable historical sighting database” worldwide – so does the pressure for answers.
Scientists like those on NASA’s 2023 UAP study team have urged better data collection, from radar sweeps to civilian apps, to sift signal from noise.
America, and the world, are at a juncture point where one cannot simply deny that we might not be alone after all.
As one user on social media posted, “Isn’t it funny how so many things end up being conspiracies until they’re not?”
For now, remaining educated, aware, and open-minded, may lead to further disclosure — the very one every human being deserves.
