The US Navy officer who claims to have spotted several UFOs in the space of one evening has spoken out about what he witnessed.
Alexandro Wiggins, a Senior Chief Operations Specialist with over 20 years of service, was onboard the USS Jackson when he observed some strange goings on in the sky.
He was working on the combat ship off the coast of California on 15 February, 2023, when four 'Tic Tac' shaped objects suddenly appeared overhead.
One of the UFOs was supposedly seen emerging from the Pacific Ocean before 'rising into the air', according to Wiggins.

He alleges that a few other UFOs appeared, before the fleet then flew off into the night sky without leaving any sort of exhaust trail - suggesting it wasn't an aircraft that he'd mistaken for a possible alien.
Wiggins was working as a radar specialist on the USS Jackson at the time, meaning it was his responsibility to detect any objects in the air that were in the vicinity of the vessel.
As I'm sure you have gathered, he claims to have got a lot more than he bargained for while fulfilling his duties.
Wiggins previously revealed that he and several others in the USS Jackson's combat information centre saw the strange objects appear on their screens.

Explaining it was 'something he has never witnessed', he told a Congressional hearing as per 8NewsNow: "A light I noticed on the horizon, it looked as if it were surfacing out of the water and going up.
"We only saw the one, and then we see the second one, it was only when we zoom out that we realise, holy crap, there’s two more out here, a total of four."
Wiggins has now recounted his experience once more, claiming that what he bore witness to didn't leave him 'second-guessing' himself, although some of his colleagues weren't convinced.
Recalling what went down on that night in February two years ago, the Navy chief told the New York Post of the first UFO he claims to have spotted: "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 said that he headed out to the core bridge wing of the US Navy ship for a better view, while running through a mental checklist of what the object could possibly be.
However, he reckons there was no logical explanation for the speed and shape of what he was seeing.
"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," Wiggins said.
He claims he then saw another three UFOs move through the sky in coordination around eight nautical miles away from the USS Jackson.

Wiggins said he reported the sighting to a tactical officer before taking a look at them on the SAFIRE System, which is a thermal sensor.
"From the video, that’s what you get, you see that original Tic Tac object that I visually saw off the port bridge wing," said Wiggins.
"In utilising the SAFIRE System, you’re able to see silhouettes and heat signatures of different objects. So, in relation to the Tic Tac's - once it went away at near instantaneous speed, we had some skeptics."
Wiggins said some of the personnel on the USS Jackson insisted that a plane was likely behind the alleged UFO sighting, despite his insistence that this was something different.
An aircraft then travelled through the area and was picked up on the SAFIRE System - which, in Wiggins eyes, proved that the flying objects he had saw was not just a passing flight.

He added: "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."
Wiggins shared his story at one of the unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) hearings hosted by the House Transparency Task Force, where video of a US missile striking a suspected UFO was shown on Tuesday (9 September).
