“but there is no record of our military reacting or responding or scrambling defenses after it happened.”
That may not be entirely true.

Two Coastguard ships dispatched. I don’t wear tinfoil but one should look at coincidence when dealing with anomalous incidents.

Hey - AOL pulled (censored?) your story.
Carnival Splendor cruise ship, with over 4000 aboard, disabled off Mexican coast

The vessel was drifting about 55 miles off of the northern Baja California coast. Tugs were expected to reach it at midday to tow it to Ensenada, but it was unclear when it would arrive at the Mexican port. Passengers will then be bused back to the United States.
The ship was in contact with the U.S. Coast Guard, which deployed aircraft and ships.
Coast Guard Lt. Khris Johns, who was on a cutter at the scene, told NBC’s “Today” show that it will take two tugs about 24 hours to bring the ship to port.
“But right now with the current conditions and what we saw onboard the cruise ship, that’s about the safest way to proceed as it stands now,” he said.
The U.S. Navy was also diverting the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan from training maneuvers to help. A plane was to drop off 35 pallets of supplies on the carrier that will be delivered to the cruise liner by helicopter, the Navy said in a statement.
