According to reports, a US NAVY cruiser was trailed by two car-sized balls of light that were untouched by anti-drone guns.

The USS Kearsage is the latest warship to be alleged to have had a UFO contact, as the US military continues to speak up about the unexplained phenomenon.

The purported sighting from October 2021 was revealed by documentary filmmaker Dave C. Beaty, who created the 2019 film The Nimitz Encounters about the legendary 2004 US Navy encounter with the “Tic Tac” object.

At least two objects are claimed to have lurked near the 40,500-ton amphibious assault ships during a training exercise off the east coast of the United States.

The strange and threatening “balls of light” are alleged to have followed the ship for half a mile and hovered 200 feet above the water, according to those acquainted with the event.

Regarding the bizarre incident, Mr Beaty was approached by a now-retired US Marines officer identified only as “Mark.”

The USS Kearsage was preparing for an overseas deployment at the time, including with equipment geared to knock down hostile drones.

Anti-drone “Ghostbusters” backpacks and vehicle-mounted devices were among the armaments.

Images from the ship’s public Facebook page show that these capabilities were on board at the time. in relation to the purported encounter

The objects were detected by the deck watch at night, but they were unable to get thermal targeting hold on them.

The team is said to have documented the incident on tape, but the clip has yet to be published.

The marines on board initially thought the inexplicable objects were part of a surprise training exercise for the new anti-drone weaponry.

They realised, however, that the countermeasures had little effect on the objects, which were doing swooping manoeuvres as they pursued the ship.

Mark informed Mr Beaty that the USS Kearsage radioed command about the items and was told they were “not ours.”

The documentarian is now trying a deeper dig into the incident, which is the latest UFO contact recorded by the US Navy.

Mr Beaty previously published deck logs that proved the USS Kidd’s UFO experience in July 2019, when the warship was besieged by at least four mysterious objects.

And there has been a significant improvement in recent years, following the iconic trio of US Navy UFO recordings, the “Gimbal,” “Go Fast,” and “Tic Tac.”

The film astounded the globe and is still unexplained, inspiring a new, more public interest in UFOs.

For the first time in history, US officials have established a new office in the Pentagon, establishing an official reporting mechanism for UFO sightings.

Mr. Beaty stated: “It used to be much worse. Officers actively avoided reporting or discussing occurrences of UAP because the threat of career suicide was extremely serious.

“Getting a job with a commercial airline after serving in the military was also an issue. It was unavoidable that they would refuse to disclose or discuss their UAP interactions.

“Today, things are a little more relaxed because the UAP Task Force is actively collecting UAP reports and frowns on any stigmatisation inside the units.”

The documentarian also demanded more transparency from the military on the subject.
