Alex Wiggins describes directing the USS Jackson’s camera toward one object, discovering three more, and watching all four depart rapidly.
The brief
Senior Chief Alex Wiggins recounts seeing four Tic Tac-shaped objects from the USS Jackson off Southern California, with ship sensors capturing the encounter and one object apparently emerging from the ocean.
George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell revisit Wiggins’s congressional testimony and the Navy’s support for his decision to speak publicly about what he saw.
Wiggins says AARO later pressed him to repeat his account inside a secure facility, while the hosts characterize the requests—and an alleged threat involving the Secretary of Defense—as coercive.
The discussion broadens from Wiggins’s case to missing multispectral data, unclear reporting procedures, anonymous military witnesses, and the risks of public disclosure.
Knapp and Corbell disagree about whether the objects could reflect nonhuman technology, spoofing, or another explanation, but agree that the evidence remains unresolved.
