A UFO-reporting app has recorded thousands of sightings of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) near US waterways. Enigma claims it has received reports on over 30,000 Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena since launching in late 2022. Strange objects have been recorded rising from the depths of the sea or plunging into the water without so much as a splash. As of August, Enigma has also logged more than 9,000 mysterious sightings within ten miles of US shorelines or major bodies of water " 500 of them within five miles " with more than 150 of the reports describing objects hovering above or descending into waterways. California (389) and Florida (306) recorded the most reported USO sightings. The app has released maps plotting out the reported sightings, represented as clusters of orange dots running up and down the east and west coasts.

UFO sightings are nothing new, and are often dismissed as crackpottery by by much of the scientific community or relegated to the stuff of science fiction, but retired USN Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet warns UFOs with the ability to go from air to sea without crashing or even creating a splash could have "world-changing" ramifications. "The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering US water space and the DOD is not raising a giant red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena," Gallaudet wrote in a March 2024 report. "Pilots, credible observers and calibrated military instrumentation have recorded objects accelerating at rates and crossing the air"sea interface in ways not possible for anything made by humans," he wrote.

One of the most bizarre reports includes phone camera video of unexplained green lights traveling beneath the surface of the ocean.
