Viral video: UFO spotted near US Navy ship - Watch

A viral video on the internet shows United States Naval personnel having a close encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO). The video shared by investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell shows a UFO whizzing through the sky before dropping into the ocean. 

Corbell took to his Instagram account and posted videos in which two unidentified crew members could be heard exclaiming, "Wow, it splashed." They said this after the 'ball' made a flight over the ocean and then disappeared underwater. The video was recorded by USS Omaha as it sailed off the coast of San Diego in July 2019.

In his caption, Corbell wrote, "The US Navy photographed and filmed 'spherical' shaped UFOs and advanced trans medium vehicles; here is some of that footage."

He further wrote, "This footage was filmed in the CIC (Combat Information Center) of the USS Omaha on July 15th, 2019 in a warning area off San Diego. This footage depicts a UAP event series that reached a crescendo with one of the unknown targets entering the water. No wreckage was found. None of the unknown craft were recovered."

The now-viral video footage was reportedly shared the same day that a United States Navy pilot had said how he and his colleagues saw UFOs off the Virginia coast so often, that they became used to the presence of ultra-capable aircraft. 

Former Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves, in an earlier interview, which aired on May 15, had called UFOs or as he calls, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), a 'threat to national security'.

For the uninformed, according to a report in The Sun, a Pentagon spokesperson had confirmed last month that one of the freeze-frame images Corbell published was recorded by US Navy personnel.
