Newly Released Navy Footage Shows 'Tic Tac' UFOs With 'Transmedium' Abilities
Footage released by Jeremy Corbell and journalist George Knapp shows what is claimed to be one of four unidentified flying objects (UFOs) sighted by the US Navy in early 2023.

The video, which was captured off the coast of California near the USS Jackson, shows a dark, oblong object moving erratically across the screen.
The footage was filmed in February 2023 by Navy personnel stationed aboard the USS Jackson while inside the ship's Combat Information Center, often referred to as the CIC. This secure area of a Navy vessel is where radar, communications, and weapons systems are monitored and controlled.
According to the description accompanying the video, "In 2023 the U.S. Navy encountered four 'TIC TAC' shaped UAPs off the coast of California. Personnel from the USS Jackson in the CIC (Combat Information Center) filmed them. One of the vehicles of unknown origin was observed exiting the water, transitioning directly into flight, demonstrating transmedium capability. No flight control surfaces or conventional propulsion signatures (heat plumes, exhaust) were detected. The UAPs executed an observed instantaneous, synchronized departure. Operator, purpose, capability, origin and intent are unknown. The craft remain unidentified."
The term "transmedium" is often used in UFO research to describe a craft or object that is able to seamlessly travel between different environments, such as air and water, without the kind of turbulence or structural change that conventional technology would require.
Speaking about the incident, Jeremy said he had spoken with a high-ranking Navy official who was present during the encounter. Jeremy quoted the unnamed witness as saying, "...to see the lights emerging from the water, what we witnessed was all four of them - all in synchronous - jetting off into the abyss. All four, all four timed together - and all left. And we were like, 'holy sh*t'. Maybe three, four seconds pass, I run to my station and I look at my RADAR and they're all gone."
Jeremy discussed the case with journalist Chris Cuomo during an interview for NewsNation, saying, "this is an interesting case. There is power in military footage - it's few and far between that we get great sensor data on something that it truly anomalous, and that's what we're seeing here - backed up of course by the eye witness testimony."
The object in the footage appears black in colour because the video was shot using a thermal camera, which detects heat rather than visible light. Thermal cameras are often used in surveillance and military operations because they allow operators to detect warm objects - like jet engines - even in darkness. However, Jeremy pointed out that these particular objects lack any visible heat signatures, and don't display wings, exhaust, or other features typical of aircraft. He noted that, "no heat plumes or exhaust are detected in the video."
While the footage may seem unremarkable at first glance - just a small black shape bouncing around the screen - Jeremy compares its significance to the now-famous 2004 footage from the USS Nimitz encounter, which also showed a 'Tic Tac' shaped UFO and was captured using military imaging systems.
According to Jeremy, this clip is far from an isolated case. He says it represents just one of "thousands of high quality videos of UFOs that the public hasn't seen."
As with many such releases, the footage and claims are likely to divide opinion. While some viewers may find the evidence compelling, others may feel it raises more questions than it answers, particularly in the absence of supporting data or independent verification. However, it adds another chapter to the ongoing debate about unidentified aerial phenomena and the extent of what governments may already know.
