The Navy USS Kearsarge was chased by 'two car-sized balls of light' during an unexplained encounter last year, according to a UFO researcher and consultant.  

The warship was reportedly followed by the UFOs while it was on a training exercise off the East Coast in October, filmmaker Dave Beaty told The Sun.   

According to Beaty's research, two objects were seen near the ship for several nights, with Marines onboard becoming shocked when the Navy's anti-drone 'ghostbusters' did not deter the balls of light. 

 

The object was 200ft above the ocean and followed the ship for half a mile, a retired US Marine officer who wished to remain anonymous told Beaty. 

Beaty is the director of the 2019 documentary The Nimitz Encounters, which dives into the the famous 2004 UFO encounter by the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.  

The Nimitz sightings were first leaked online in 2007. The New York Times then confirmed in 2019 that at least six Super Hornet pilots made visual or instrument contact with the tic-tac shaped UFO on November 14, 2004. 

The recent encounters, which Beaty said he only has compiled preliminary information on, will likely spark new interest in unexplained encounters by the US Navy.
