A US Marine has reported witnessing an unidentified aerial object over Camp Pendleton, California on November 12, 2024, at approximately 2:30 AM. According to the account, the witness and multiple fellow Marines observed a red, triangular-shaped craft during a training exercise while in a severely sleep-deprived state. The witness describes the object as appearing to grow larger as it approached their position.
The Marine reports experiencing intense physiological responses to the sighting, including a racing heartbeat and an inability to vocalize his fear. He characterizes the object’s movement as unusually slow and deliberate, suggesting to him that it was observing the group. Notably, the witness states that when he and his fellow Marines attempted to alert their sergeants to the phenomenon, the officers neither turned to look nor acknowledged their reports.
The object eventually departed the area slowly, according to the account. The witness emphasizes that multiple personnel witnessed the event, though the account does not provide additional corroboration or official military documentation of the incident. Camp Pendleton, located in San Diego County, is one of the largest Marine Corps installations in the United States.
What protocols, if any, exist within military training operations to document and investigate such reports from personnel in the field?
