Background
In July 2019, crew members aboard the USS Russell operating off the coast of San Diego, California, recorded night vision footage showing multiple triangular or pyramid-shaped objects hovering and maneuvering above the ship.

- Multiple independent sensor confirmations
Official Confirmation
In April 2021, Pentagon spokesperson Sue Gough officially confirmed the video's authenticity. Key confirmations included:
