US Navy
The United States Navy is the maritime service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces responsible for naval operations and maintaining sea control. The Navy has been central to several of the most significant modern UAP incidents, including the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac encounter and the 2019 series of encounters captured in the Gimbal and GoFast videos.

UAP Encounters and Documentation
The Navy operated the USS Nimitz and its air wing during the 2004 Tic Tac UAP encounter, one of the most well-documented military UAP incidents. In 2019, the Navy filmed a spherical-shaped UAP entering water in footage later released by Jeremy Corbell, demonstrating trans-medium travel capabilities. Navy personnel aboard ships maintain command authority over visiting personnel from other service branches, establishing clear chains of custody and operational control over UAP evidence collected in maritime environments.
The Navy has been described as operating compartmentalized UAP-related programs with little inter-service communication, consistent with broader patterns of siloed legacy program management across the intelligence community and military services.
Potential Connection to Flyby Footage
The Flyby Footage has been analyzed for potential connection to Navy operations or documentation, though the footage's apparent characteristics suggest an F-18 platform more consistent with NASA chase aircraft configuration than standard Navy fighter operations. However, audio waveform analysis of the flyby footage has been compared to ambient sounds from the USS Nitze during the 2019 spherical UAP water entry event, raising questions about where the screen recording that produced the flyby footage may have been created.
