Area 51-linked Navy sailor reveals chilling details after seeing UFO

He doesn't know what he saw, but wonders if one day the truth will be revealed

A US Navy officer has spoken out about spotting UFOs while working on a warship in the Pacific Ocean in 2023.

Footage was released last week that claimed 'tic tac' shaped objects were spotted by the crew of the USS Jackson on 15 February, 2023.

One of the unidentified objects was supposedly seen exiting the water and then flying away without leaving any sort of exhaust trail.

A man who witnessed it is Senior Chief Operations Specialist Alexandro Wiggins, who has spent 23 years in the US Navy. He said that his father had worked at Area 51.

You know, that place in the middle of the desert where the US keeps a bunch of secret stuff that may or may not have anything to do with aliens.

Anyhow, as for this sighting, 8newsnow reports that Wiggins was working as a radar specialist on the USS Jackson and his job was to spot objects in the air around the ship.

He said a whole bunch of people in the ships combat information centre saw strange objects on their screens, and described the moment.

He said: "To my surprise, which is something I’ve never witnessed, was 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 realize, holy crap, there’s two more out here, a total of four."

The sailor said he didn't know exactly what he saw, predicting that whatever it is might become better known when he's much older and it's several decades down the line.

"I am skeptical myself as to what I saw that day," he said of some of the former secrets which eventually became well known.

"Maybe one day I’ll know what that was, and I’ll be like 80 or 90 years old, and it’ll be normalized like… the stealth fighter or Area 51. At some point, it’ll be public, but then I’ll be old."

There have been all sorts of sightings over the years of things known as UFOs or UAPs (unidentified flying phenomenon), some harder to verify than others.

There have been documentaries claiming to have uncovered the truth about various mysterious sightings, while there's plenty of footage of weird goings on for aficionados to go through.
