The US Coast Guard (uscg.mil) operates as the frontline maritime agency for US coastal waters — and coastal waters are where the UAP/USO phenomenon is most active. 9,000+ USO REPORTS (Enigma App, August 2025): Enigma — the world’s largest anomalous phenomena database, 30,000+ total reports — logged over 9,000 US sightings within 10 miles of shorelines and major waterways since August 2025. Approximately 500 occurred within 5 miles of coastline. California: 389 reported USO sightings. Florida: 306. Former Naval Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet testified to Congress November 2024: underwater UAPs represent “a serious national security risk.” USS OMAHA (July 2019): Pentagon-verified footage shows a spherical object flying above the Pacific off San Diego — then descending into the ocean. A submarine was sent to search. No wreckage found. A sailor from the Omaha later contacted Admiral Gallaudet to confirm he witnessed a similar event aboard the USS Jackson in 2023. USS RUSSELL (2019): Pentagon-confirmed pyramid-style UAP hovering above the ship, filmed in night-vision. Pentagon confirmed authenticity. USS JACKSON (2023): Jeremy Corbell released footage of a glowing white object maneuvering over water, emerging from the ocean, then dipping back in — transmedium capability confirmed on video. HISTORICAL CONTEXT: USO reports date to the 11th century — English chronicles documented a “fiery object that revolved, ascended on high, then descended into the sea” off the Northumberland coast. In 1825, English naturalist Andrew Bloxam on HMS Blonde witnessed a red luminous orb rising from the sea. NAVAL UNDERSEA WARFARE CENTER (NUWC), Newport, Rhode Island: The US Navy’s primary research center for underwater warfare systems — the institutional home for any classified underwater UAP/USO tracking program. NUWC would be the scientific heir to the NURO (National Underwater Reconnaissance Office) programs documented in our UAP Gerb corpus.
