Senior Chief Petty Officer Alexandro Wiggins is a U.S. Navy active-duty service member with 23 years of service. He became the first active-duty Navy official to testify publicly before Congress about UAP, appearing at the September 9, 2025 House Oversight hearing (see src-uap-transparency-hearing-2026-04).
Key Testimony
Wiggins reported a 2023 USS Jackson incident: a self-luminous Tic Tac-shaped object emerged from the ocean, linked up with three other similar objects, then all four vanished with near-instantaneous synchronized acceleration — no sonic boom, no conventional propulsion signatures. He proposed a three-point framework for improving UAP reporting: (1) aviation/maritime safety first, (2) standardized checklists and training, and (3) reporting without stigma or retribution.
Notable Quotes
“What I observed and what our crew recorded was not consistent with conventional aircraft or drones. A self-luminous Tic Tac-shaped object emerged from the ocean before linking up with three other similar objects.”
“Sailors need to know that reporting UAP encounters will not harm their careers.”
