Multiple orbs near a U.S. submarine: spheres move 'in and out of water', March 2022

A sensor video from a U.S. Navy platform in March 2022 showing multiple spherical objects moving in and out of the water in close proximity to a surfaced U.S. submarine — the cleanest transmedium/USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) footage AARO has released to date, and the iconic image of PURSUE Release 02.

PURSUE Release 02 catalogues a sensor video — DOW-UAP-PR067 — captured on March 25, 2022 by a U.S. Navy platform in an undisclosed submarine operating area. The footage shows multiple spherical objects, observed by both the sensor and human watchstanders, moving in and out of the water in close proximity to a surfaced U.S. submarine. A single frame from this clip — the surfaced submarine with magenta tactical HUD overlay and targeting reticle just off the bow — has become the most-circulated visual of the entire release.

Transmedium phenomena — objects that physically transit between air and water without apparent loss of structural integrity — are among the most distinctive categories AARO publicly tracks, because they place severe constraints on conventional propulsion explanations. The earlier 'GO FAST' Pentagon clip and the 2004 Tic Tac encounter both touched on apparent water-interactions, but PR067 is the first PURSUE entry to capture multiple transmedium objects simultaneously, near a capital naval asset.
