U.S. Navy Roosevelt carrier-group encounters

Record summary

Navy personnel associated with the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier group later described repeated encounters with objects during training operations, including reports from F/A-18 crews and shipboard radar systems. The accounts became publicly known through later interviews and congressional reporting rather than a single contemporaneous release. Explanations discussed in reporting have included drones, sensor artifacts and classified systems, while extraordinary interpretations remain unverified. This is distinct from the 2004 Nimitz case and from the 2019 Russell and Omaha incidents listed elsewhere.
