In February 2023, sailors aboard the USS Jackson (LCS‑6) reported seeing four “Tic Tac”–shaped UAPs emerge from the Pacific and perform synchronized aerial maneuvers around the ship, tracked visually and on infrared radar at around 22,000 ft. Despite attempts, radar locks failed—and the objects vanished in formation. The Pentagon has acknowledged the authenticity of these radar visuals, though their origin remains unexplained.
