A senior navy officer has spoken out on the bizarre incident where he saw multiple UFOs.

Before you start fearing that alien overlords are coming to get you, it is important to note what a UFO is...

It stands for unidentified flying object, so it can essentially be anything that you can't identify - well, so long as it flies. But with that said, certain encounters can prove eerie.

US Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Alexandro Wiggins had one of those encounters and has spoken out about what he saw on February 15, 2023.

Wiggins was even able to convince a doubting radar officer that what he was seeing was real and strange.

Recounting the incident, Wiggins spoke to the New York Post and said he saw the first UFO emerge seamlessly out of the ocean.

Wiggins clarified he was speaking to the outlet on his own behalf, not as a representative of the navy.

He said: “From my observations, it did in fact come from the water.

“It was first seen on radar and once I saw it on radar, I wanted to confirm visually what I was seeing on radar if it was clouds and atmospherics and something else.”

Wiggins noted that he then changed his position, moving to the core bridge wing of the ship he was on, the USS Jackson, and tried to decide on what he was looking at.

However, he said he was convinced it was not made with standard human technology based on an odd maneuver it made.

The 21-year navy veteran admitted he had seen nothing like it.

He added: “It [was] rising into the air high enough to where I’m like, alright, that’s definitely: A. too fast and B. not something I’ve seen before.”

He said he saw three other objects moving in coordination away from the ship and reported the unknown objects to a tactical officer before attempting to view the UFO on a Sapphire radar.

Earlier this year a video recording of the Sapphire radar tracking the UFOs went viral on social media after first being published by George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell on the WEAPONIZED podcast.

Wiggins explained that he faced some apprehension after he tried to convince other navy men that he had seen something strange.

On the radar the UFOs appeared as oval shaped black spots, moving up and down with ease before meeting with three other shapes.

Wiggins said one of his shipmates thought it was a plane but he had a ‘checkmate moment’.

He explained: “In utilizing the Sapphire system, you’re able to see silhouettes and heat signatures of different objects. So, in relation to the tic-tacs – once it went away at near instantaneous speed, we had some skeptics in ICC-1.

“About 30, 45 seconds pass, and I see an incoming or a passing by commercial aircraft. And so I tell the CSM, slew into that aircraft around the same location, and lo and behold, you see the air signature coming off the back. You see the wings perfectly. You see the tailwing. The side wings. You see the shape of the nose of the aircraft. You see it perfectly.

“It was kind of like ‘Checkmate,’ and he sat back down. Even if I were to second-guess myself [before], I no longer could.”
