U.S. Navy personnel aboard USS Jackson reported tracking an unidentified spherical object exhibiting erratic movement patterns and sudden altitude changes inconsistent with known aerial or atmospheric phenomena.
On February 14, 2023, radar operators aboard USS Jackson detected an unidentified spherical object moving across monitored airspace during routine Aegis system operations. The object reportedly demonstrated abrupt acceleration changes, hovering behavior, and sudden directional shifts without detectable propulsion or heat signature. Multiple radar returns suggested a solid object rather than atmospheric clutter. The incident was logged internally and later referenced in broader UAP discussions involving naval sensor systems.
