Fighter jets of the US Navy launched the largest massive strike in history from an aircraft carrier against the positions of Islamic groups in Somalia. This was reported on May 21 by the Business Insider portal with reference to a statement by the Acting Chief of Naval Operations of the US Navy, James Kilby.

"The aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman and its strike group launched the largest airstrike in history — 125,000 pounds — from a single aircraft carrier on Somalia," Admiral Kilby said.

A representative of the US Secretary of Defense clarified in a conversation with the publication that the operation in the Red Sea took place on February 1. About 16 carrier-based fighter-bombers of the F/A-18 "Super Hornet" aircraft modification took part in it. Also, according to the online publication, the target of the bombing was terrorist groups in Somalia, in total, more than 56 tons of ammunition were dropped on the positions of the Islamists.

On January 15, the American military Randy Anderson reported on alleged "otherworldly technologies" at the U.S. Navy's Surface Warfare Center in Indiana, which he saw in 2014. He said that he saw a metal sphere levitating above the podium, which emitted holographic texts. According to Anderson, when he looked at this object, he felt alarm.
