Radar recordings reveal unusual aerial phenomena observed by military during 2023 operation
Unreleased footage captured by a modern radar system aboard a U.S. Navy ship reveals one of four mysterious “tic-tac”-shaped objects that were spotted flying over the California coast in 2023.
The recordings, allegedly made by sailors aboard the USS Jackson on February 15 of that year, show the objects over San Diego. According to researcher Jeremy Corbell — who made the video public — the military not only recorded the phenomena with sophisticated equipment but also saw them with the naked eye.
“These are trained professionals risking their careers by speaking out about this,” said Corbell on his podcast *Weaponized*, where he aired the video.
The first of these objects was seen two days earlier, on February 13, emerging from the Pacific Ocean and ascending into the sky without any signs of conventional propulsion. The sighting was witnessed by a Navy officer who, surprised, ran to the radar center to try to capture it using infrared sensors.
In the video, operators comment in astonishment: “That thing took off earlier,” says one. Another asks, “Is it at 22,000 feet?” and a third jokes, “Send the jets after it.” The atmosphere, though lighthearted, reflects the crew’s bewilderment.
The radar displays white cruciform signals — indicating that something physical was indeed in the sky, even if it couldn’t be clearly tracked.
Witnesses claim the four objects performed a sudden and simultaneous maneuver, suggesting some kind of coordination. The description is reminiscent of the enigmatic drones or aircraft that surrounded U.S. Navy ships in 2019, also off the California coast, which then disappeared.
In 2023 the U.S. Navy encountered four “TIC TAC” shaped UAPs off the coast of California. Personnel from the USS Jackson in the CIC (Combat Information Center) filmed them. One of the vehicles of unknown origin was observed exiting the water, transitioning directly into flight,… pic.twitter.com/FUBsiGy60n
