UFO app caught 9,000 sightings and the military wants answers

Nine thousand sightings since August 2025, logged by the Enigma UFO-reporting app, renew questions about underwater objects and national-security risks facing the United States. Most reports come from California and Florida and concern Unidentified Submerged Objects near U.S. coasts, lakes, and territorial waters. The scale has intensified the debate about what moves in and around U.S. waters and whether it represents a credible threat. Congress broadened terminology from Unidentified Aerial Phenomena to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena to include underwater cases, reflecting growing concern. The Pentagon disclosures include Orbs Over the Pond, a plasma-like sphere observed for about 45 minutes above a pond. The 2004 Tic-Tac incident off San Diego, described by Commander David Fravor, remains a touchstone for DoD UAP efforts. Officials say the discussion now centers on underwater anomalies and national-security implications.
