Top 50 Unexplainable UFO Photos (1870-1960)
Top 50 Unexplainable UFO Photos (1870-1960)
In the past, UFO sightings have often been regarded as a hoax. However, now many people are going on record to tell of their encounters with mysterious flying objects. So is there really a real flying saucer phenomenon?
There is something strange on Google Earth map and its a black object I found in Russia. The object first appears in the road and then in other locations, but its shape and color also change. Then some people disappear along the way which makes me think of missing time and possible alien abductions. This black UFO is similar in shape, size and texture to that which was followed by the US Navy aircraft and we see in released US gov videos.
As I looked further into it, I searched around and found a similar, but different shaped and colored object near a car. It really seems like its the same object but in a new location. Its possible this may just be a blowing deflated black balloon or black bag, but how could it change its color so well and how could it just disappear as the Google car drove past it? The missing people and time leaps, make me believe this is a cloaked alien drone, invisible to the human eye, but caught by the more perfect digital eye of Google Earth map camera. Very irritating and difficult to decide on what exactly we are looking at. It could be a UFO or it could be a BFO (balloon, bag) its impossible to access with only a few images in time. But I believe it to be an alien drone due to it changing color, distance, shape and texture of the craft.
Pentagon task force's UFO report released – many cases remain unexplained
Pentagon task force's UFO report released – many cases remain unexplained
BYNICOLE SGANGA, DAVID MARTIN,OLIVIA GAZIS AND ELEANOR WATSON
After decades of dismissing U.F.O. sightings popularized in American culture, a U.S. government task force assigned to investigate what it calls "unidentified aerial phenomena," or UAPs, has found no evidence that objects came from outer space or a foreign adversary.
However, while there's no evidence the objects are extraterrestrial, senior government officials who briefed reporters said Friday that nearly all of the incidents investigated remain unexplained, citing the significant limitations of available data and reporting.
"Of the 144 reports that we are dealing with here, we have no clear indications that there's any non-terrestrial explanation for them," a senior government official said, nixing the possibility of exotic sightings. "But again, we will go wherever the data takes us on this."
In fact, officials were able to identify just one reported UAP with a high degree of confidence. "In that case, we identified the object as a large, deflating balloon," the 9-page unclassified version of the report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) read. "The others remain unexplained."
"The limited amount of high-quality reporting on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP," the report said, noting later that "no standard reporting mechanism" existed before the Navy created one in March 2019.
Most of the incidents the task force reviewed were reported in the last two years, according to the report, which is a preliminary version of an assessment.
The U.S. government officials said there is no doubt that identified UAPs were physical objects, tamping down speculation that sightings could be optical illusions caused by atmospheric conditions or sensor malfunctions.
"From a safety of flight issue, we absolutely do believe that what we are seeing are not simply sensor artifacts. These are things that physically exist," a senior government official said. "They are physical objects." But officials stressed that objects detailed in the 144 reports represent a "variety" of phenomena.
In 80 of the 144 investigated incidents, the task force detected objects using multiple sensors, leading officials to determine UAPs posed a hazard to flights. Over the years, the task force determined there have been 11 near misses.
According to the unclassified report, investigators found "[v]arious forms of sensors that register UAP generally operate correctly and capture enough real data to allow initial assessments, but some UAP may be attributable to sensor anomalies."
Congress in December asked the Pentagon's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), along with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and other intelligence agencies, to submit a report on what is known about UAPs; relevant committees received a classified version of the report on Friday, before the unclassified version was publicly released. Read the report here:
Officials pored over 144 incidents between 2004 and 2021, relying heavily on observations made by military aviators.
Without evidence that UAPs are operated by an adversary like China or Russia, government officials say there is no reason to believe that a foreign power has made a technological breakthrough in recent years.
"A small portion of the data set has propulsion we cannot explain," a senior government official said. "That doesn't necessarily mean that there is an adversary that is introducing a technological surprise here."
The report found that 18 objects investigated had propulsion systems that could not be explained, due in part to insufficient data and reporting. It said that the task force was conducting "further analysis" to determine if advanced technologies were present.
It also said that, if and when the incidents could be better assessed, they would likely fall into one of five explanatory categories, including airborne "clutter" like birds and plastic bags, atmospheric phenomena, domestic technologies, foreign technologies, and a catchall "other" category.
Officials stressed, as does the report, that they were limited in their analysis by the nature of the data underlying the incidents, which came chiefly in the form of verbal reports that were only occasionally supported by video or photographic evidence. The task force has since begun work on a new mechanism through which they hoped to standardize data collection on UAPs and apply scientific and engineering approaches to their explanation, they said.
"Ultimately, we have to increase the volume as well as the quality of the data we have," one official said.
Despite a dearth of data, the task force investigation did reveal "UAP sightings tended to cluster around U.S. training and testing grounds," though officials conceded the high-concentration of reported incidents could be "collection bias as a result of focused attention, greater numbers of latest-generation sensors operating in those areas, unit expectations, and guidance to report anomalies."
Lawmakers who received the report also said more work was necessary to understand any potential national security threats posed by the phenomena.
"The United States must be able to understand and mitigate threats to our pilots, whether they're from drones or weather balloons or adversary intelligence capabilities," said Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia and Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. "Today's rather inconclusive report only marks the beginning of efforts to understand and illuminate what is causing these risks to aviation in many areas around the country and the world."
"This report is an important first step in cataloging these incidents, but it is just a first step," said Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who as Acting Chairman of the Intelligence Committee authored the language mandating the report. "The Defense Department and Intelligence Community have a lot of work to do before we can actually understand whether these aerial threats present a serious national security concern.
The officials told reporters a "majority" of the information included in the classified report was presented in the unclassified version. They said neither agency would be releasing any supplementary evidence, including photos or video, of the phenomena the report had assessed.
Limited information about the UAPs has trickled out over the last few months. The Defense Department task force confirmed in April that the scope of its work includes objects described as a "sphere," "acorn," "pyramid" and "metallic blimp" by military personnel.
In May, CBS News' "60 Minutes" spoke with naval aviators David Fravor and Alex Dietrich, who had never before talked publicly about their encounter in Southern California in 2004 that was visible on their radar and on video when they were flying in the Nimitz carrier strike group. They observed an object that looked like a Tic Tac moving over whitewater in an otherwise calm blue sea.
The two said that they saw the object, about the size of their F/A-18F, but with no markings or wings and also without exhaust plumes, mimicking the movements of their own plane.
"Oh there's, there's definitely something that … I don't know who's building it, who's got the technology, who's got the brains. But there's — there's something out there that was better than our airplane," Fravor told "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker.
The report, while brief and inconclusive, is nonetheless a notable disclosure for the U.S. military and intelligence community after years of downplaying and discrediting accounts of UFOs, as they were more commonly known, and "flying saucers."
A senior government official conceded "historical socio-cultural stigmas" attached to UFOs posed a challenge to the task force, which had sorted through evidence gathered over the years without a clear standard for collection.
"Really, that stigma creates an additional challenge to timely and standardized reporting," the official said. "We applaud the UAP task force's work in this area as a means towards improving our available datasets and our understanding over time."
The Pentagon UAP Task Force Report is a report commissioned by US Congress as part of the coronavirus-relief package passed in December 2020, which demanded that the Pentagon produce a report summarizing all that the U.S. government knows about so-called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
The status of the report is: RELEASED (Preliminary Assessment Only)
Are we alone in this universe? Are extraterrestrial beings visiting us in UFOs? NASA is investigating. Pentagon is set to release a report. How close are we to finding an answer?
Beenderen van onbekende oermens gevonden in Israël
In Israël hebben vorsers de beenderen van een tot nu toe onbekende oermens gevonden. Die leefde tot ongeveer 130.000 jaar geleden in de Levant, zo deelt de universiteit van Tel Aviv mee.
De overblijfselen van de oermens, die Nesher Ramla Homo genoemd werd door het vorsersteam, werden in de omgeving van Ramla, bij Tel Aviv, gevonden. Het nu ontdekte type stamt uit het Midden-Pleistoceen. Het vertoont gelijkenissen met resten van andere oermensen die in Israël en Eurazië gevonden werden en die ongeveer 400.000 jaar geleden leefden.
"De ontdekking van een nieuwe groep van oermensen in deze regio, die op de bevolking van de voorouders van de neanderthaler in Europa gelijkt, zet de heersende stelling op de helling dat de neanderthaler uit Europa afkomstig is", zo klinkt het in de mededeling van de universiteit. Het wijst er eerder op dat "minstens enkele voorouders van de neanderthaler uit de Levant kwamen". De wetenschappers stellen hun werk in het vakblad Science voor.
Uit de vondst van de beenderen kan worden afgeleid dat twee groepen van oermensen in de Levant meer dan 100.000 jaar lang zij aan zij leefden. Ze deelden kennis en werktuigtechnologie. De Nesher Ramla Homo leefde 400.000 jaar geleden in de regio en de homo sapiens kwam later, ongeveer 200.000 jaar geleden. Latere vondsten geven aan dat beide groepen zich ook vermengden.
Langverwacht UFO-rapport van Pentagon: “Geen verklaring voor 143 UFO-waarnemingen”
Een belangrijk rapport van de Amerikaanse overheid over UFO-waarnemingen stelt dat medewerkers van defensie en de inlichtingendiensten over onvoldoende informatie beschikken om te bepalen wat de mysterieuze vliegende voorwerpen zijn die de voorbije jaren werden waargenomen door militaire piloten. Mogelijk gaat het om geavanceerde technologieën van aardse oorsprong, atmosferische gebeurtenissen, of voorwerpen van buitenaardse afkomst, klinkt het.
Bron:Reuters
Het rapport, dat werd ingediend bij het Congres en werd vrijgegeven voor het grote publiek, omschrijf 144 observaties sinds 2004 die de overheid officieel omschrijft als “niet-geïdentificeerde luchtfenomenen”, afgekort UAP’s (unidentified aerial phenomenons, red.), de nieuwe term voor UFO’s. Het rapport werd gepubliceerd door het kabinet van de directeur van de nationale inlichtingendiensten in samenwerking met een taakgroep van de marine.
Het document beschrijft onder andere enkele UAP’s waarvan al eerder beelden werden verspreid. Het gaat om videobeelden die gemaakt werden door piloten van de Amerikaanse marine, waarop te zien is hoe vliegende toestellen voor de Amerikaanse oost- en westkust een ongekende snelheid en manoeuvreerbaarheid vertonen en bovendien geen zichtbare aandrijving of besturing hebben.
Veiligheid in gedrang
“UAP’s vormen duidelijk een probleem voor de vliegveiligheid en kunnen een uitdaging vormen voor de nationale veiligheid van de VS”, aldus het rapport, dat eraan toevoegde dat er waarschijnlijk geen eenduidige verklaring is voor het fenomeen. “In een beperkt aantal incidenten leken UAP’s naar verluidt ongewone vliegeigenschappen te vertonen. Deze waarnemingen zouden het resultaat kunnen zijn van sensorfouten, spoofing, waarnemers of een verkeerde waarneming, en vereisen een aanvullende diepgaande analyse”, klinkt het verder.
Buitenaards fenomeen?
Op de vraag of er mogelijks een buitenaardse verklaring is voor de observaties, antwoordde een hooggeplaatste regeringsmedewerker tijdens een persbriefing dat het niet aan de taakgroep is om te zoeken naar buitenaards leven. “Van de 144 meldingen waarmee we hier te maken hebben, hebben we geen duidelijke aanwijzingen dat er een buitenaardse verklaring voor is, maar we bekijken waar de data ons heen leidt”, voegde hij eraan toe.
Het rapport stelt vijf categorieën van mogelijke verklaringen voor: “airborne clutter” (vrij vertaald als zwevende rommel, red.), natuurlijke atmosferische fenomenen, ontwikkelingsprogramma’s van Amerikaanse overheden of de Amerikaanse industrie, systemen van buitenlandse mogendheden, en tenslotte de categorie ‘andere’.
Slechts één van die 144 waarnemingen kan verklaard worden door "airborne clutter”. Voor de andere 143 gevallen heeft de taakgroep onvoldoende data om uit te sluiten of het gaat om een van de andere categorieën, aldus Amerikaanse regeringsmedewerkers tijdens de persbriefing over het rapport. “Elke keer wanneer er bezorgdheid is over de vluchtveiligheid of contraspionage, nemen we dat zeer ernstig en we zullen dat blijven doen”, klonk het.
Het rapport werd besteld door het Amerikaans Congres in het kader van een nieuwe inlichtingenwet die in december werd ondertekend door voormalig president Donald Trump.

Aliens May Live on Spaceships
Astronaut Col. Gordon Coope
Sam Sherman the president of Independent International Pictures writes, “Where do Aliens come from? When interviewed for my still-unreleased film- “Beyond This Earth”.
Astronaut Col. Gordon Cooper spoke about one reported instance where: “Aliens were living on their ships, as they had lost their sun in their own solar system”. A possible hypothesis may be that some ET groups live on large ships or space platforms, as has been reported, not on planetary bodies, and these huge craft loop in and around our planet. Further they send out smaller scout craft for missions to Earth to obtain entertainment, food, water, and minerals. They may have traveled great distances here over decades for hundreds of years and their huge ships serve as replacement for planets. Thanks to Sam Sherman.
Deputy Head of the Department of Astronomy at the University of Arizona, Chris Impey, states, “Based on recent data, he estimated there could be some 100 million habitable planets in the Milky Way alone.”
Editor’s Notes: With Earth’s population growing so quickly NASA seriously considered developing a city in space. The concept and artist’s drawing are contained in Ernest Jahn’s and Margaret Sachs book “Celestial Passengers UFO’s and Space Travel.” A space colony habitat was designed by NASA Ames Research Center to carry several hundred thousand people.
The space habitat would be 16 miles long by four miles wide and have its own atmosphere and clouds. Only 2% of the materials would come from Earth, the remaining 98% would come from the moon. Not only does the moon yield an abundant supply of substances such as aluminum, concrete, soil, oxygen, and water, but lifting the materials off the moon will require twentieth of the energy needed to lift them off Earth, because the Moon has a much weaker gravitational pull. We must remember that Earth also is a spaceship. On Earth there are dangers in the form of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and tornadoes.
If aliens were living not too far from Earth in space, they may have a short ride to visit us. The dark eyes often described by abductees may be permanent eyeglasses to protect sensitive eyes from the glare of our powerful sun or the bright light created by their propulsion systems.
Lagrangian Libration
It happens there are five places in space (L-1 thru L-5) known as Lagrangian Libration Points where a spaceship could stay with little if any energy needed. L-4 and L-5 are particularly well balanced where the gravitational and centrifugal forces of the Earth and Moon cancel each other out. Any object within one of these roughly spherical areas would remain orbiting around the Earth just as our Moon does. This is roughly a 60-degree angle in front and behind the moon essentially along its orbital path. Astronomers may wish to examine that portion of the sky to see if any small moonlets or spaceships are orbiting our Earth.
Alien Underwater Bases
Many UFOs are seen near bodies of water UFOs have approximately 75% of this planet in which to operate undetected. Adding another piece to the puzzle from dissimilar puzzle pieces supplied by ufologists throughout the years of UFO history, a picture is starting to take shape. Ufologist Carl Feindt has not only contributed his own small piece, but he has also connected many of the previous pieces to form an enlightening and highly plausible theory. Feindt’s studies concern Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) that enter and exit the dense medium of water. This aspect aroused his curiosity, because while we humans do not understand alien science, we do know our water. This book contains cases from just about every type of body of water, from puddles to oceans. It opens a long-overlooked door to discover the operating principles of UFOs by closely observing water’s reaction to these craft and finding similarities among cases involving water.
This type of case involves a UFO hovering over water. The witness describes a column of fog, mist, haze, or water reaching from the surface to the object. The terminology generally used in the description is sucking up water. This column, I believe, is caused by the rotation of a field in a vertical plane that encompasses of the UFO. This is best visualized by going back to Physics 101: Imagine a bar magnet running vertically through the center of the UFO, iron filings sprinkled on it to observe the magnetic lines of force going up from the top (North Pole), arcing to the sides and down, then back up through the bottom (South Pole. As this field rotates it causes a friction on the abutting atmosphere, causing an updraft at the bottom. This, in addition to an oft-observed horizontal rotation of one part of the UFO, causes a swirling vortex to be formed below the UFO. This can be like a person rotating a finger through still waters in a pot of water at a rapid rate eventually causing a maelstrom to occur. Could this not be the cause of waterspouts?
Waterspout: 1. a moving, whirling column of spray and mist, with masses of water in the lower parts, accumulated because of a tornado at sea or on other large bodies of water.
Sometimes referred to as USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects) or UUOs (Unidentified Underwater Objects), sightings of strange lights and crafts emerging from, or descending into, the seas, oceans, and lakes around the world are quite widespread. Some UFO researchers and investigators even claim that there are underwater alien bases present in the vicinity of these aquatic sightings.
Base in Lake Erie
Bottom of Lake Erie
One of the five great lakes of North America is Lake Erie, has a long history of strange lights and unexplained phenomena. Some 1700 ships lie at the bottom of Lake Eire and 277 have never been found. The ship the G. P. Grifith sunk costing the lives of 287 souls. During 1812 the war against Britain, Perry supervised the building of a fleet at Erie, Pennsylvania. He earned the title “Hero of Lake Erie ” for leading American forces in a decisive naval victory at the Battle of Lake Erie. His ships flew a flag stating “Don’t Give Up the Ship.” However, the area around Niagara Falls and Cleveland, Ohio, has experienced an increase in UFO sightings over the years.
The 2011 book Eerie Erie: Tales of the Unexplained from Northwest Pennsylvania by Robin Swope examines and investigates numerous MUFON reports. Many of these reports speak of UFOs seen “crashing” into the water of Lake Erie. Many reports also come from Canada. One report from 1988 alleged a strange craft landed on the lake when was iced over. The landing was witnessed by Sheila and Henry Baker, who made a report to the local Coast Guard. As the mysterious craft landed, there were strange sounds heard coming from the ice as well as a series of blue and red lights from the craft itself. There also appeared to be several strange triangular objects jettisoned from the descending object. These triangles seemed to move purposely around in all directions along the icy surface of the lake. Suddenly, the sounds on the ice stopped, and the craft and the mysterious triangles vanished, suggesting that they had indeed found their way below the ice and under the water.
According to a report in 2007 that ran on News Channel 5 in Cleveland, the area had seen no less than 20 UFO sightings in only two years. There are a great many videos on YouTube that claim to show some of these UFOs over Cleveland. Local UFO researcher Richard Lee stated that the UFOs seem to take particular interest in any new building projects undertaken in the area. Once a new project begins, according to Lee, there is usually a UFO sighting in the immediate vicinity not long after. Are they coming from their alleged base in Lake Erie?
Base in Lake Ontario
New York UFO Crash Near Niagara Falls?
Craft Flies Out of Lake Ontario
BUFFALO—In 1the summer of 2001 I was asked to brief the Air National Guard unit at Niagara Falls Air Base, New York who claimed a crash had occurred in the past and rumors were that the military firemen and police responded. Bob Eure a professor at Temple University in Philadelphia revealed the following story regarding UFOs that are frequently sighted above Lake Ontario. On or about April 15, 1992, a large disc shaped craft was observed coming out of the lake around 7:00 AM and flying erratically south towards Lockport, NY. The object appeared to wobble and moved lower appearing to be in trouble. Observers claim it appeared to search for a landing spot and continued to lose altitude and crashed on Campbell Boulevard (Route 270) four miles west of Lockport and ten miles north of Buffalo.
UFO Crashes on Highway
The crash was like that seen in the movie “MIB”. When the UFO crashed it managed to avoid hitting the cars traveling the road. However, the many drivers of the cars stopped to examine the UFO and most waited until the military arrived. The UFO was 100 feet in diameter and 25 feet high. Military, fire, and police quickly arrived and cleaned up the crash site and cautioned those there not to talk about the incident. The craft was taken to a large factory nearby. Somehow the authorities were able to keep the crash quiet despite a fairly large number of witnesses. Interestingly the UFO would have gone down in direct sight of Tim McVeigh father’s home. I wonder if the crash had something to do with Timothy McVeigh being convicted of terrorism and executed by lethal injection on June 11, 2001,
Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001, at 8:45 AM, the United States suffered a terrorist attack when an American Airlines Boeing 767 filled with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The Air National Guard cancelled my briefing due to the alert.
In December 2013, MUFON published a report from a Hamilton resident who claimed to have seen several strange, glowing orbs hanging over Lake Ontario. He also claimed to have seen these orbs on the lake several times prior, and what’s more, he believes that there is an alien base under the water. He is far from the first person to have made such an assertion.
In August 1981, five witnesses who were driving alongside Lake Ontario early one evening saw a dome-shaped craft flying over the water. They followed the craft for some time before seeing it begin to descend and enter the water, disappearing from their sight. Perhaps the stories of an underwater alien base, stem from the 1977 book The Great Lakes Triangle by Jay Gourley, who made note that many planes and people had disappeared over Lake Ontario, not to mention the many UFO sightings of the area.
Another book, Underground Alien Bases, released in 2012 and written by the somewhat strange “Commander X,” has also perpetuated the legend of the alien base under the lake. It features within its pages several accounts of sightings on and around the lake and the assertion that an alien fortress of one kind or another lies under the water. However, none of the accounts can be verified by a secondary source and so are left open to debate as to how reliable they are. Hundreds of ships have been sunk in Lake Ontario usually in bad weather, but it is not known if UFOs played a role.
Canada UFOs Over Power Plant
Pickering,Ontario — I observed over the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station that was remarkably like one reported over the station by other people, so it made me realize that I wasn’t the only one who thought that this object was a bit odd. I presently work at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station near Toronto, and I witnessed the object described over the station by others on the FILER’S FILES # 26 – 2007 report. something strange near the Pickering Power Plant over Lake Ontario,
I usually arrive at around 6 AM and have breakfast in the cafeteria before going to work. My first sighting of the object happened on the morning of June 25, 2007. I was leaving the security building to enter the administration building when I glanced up to see an object that seemed rectangular in shape. The object was fixed in a horizontal position hanging over the back of the turbine auxiliary bay on the A side of the building.
What caught my attention was that it was something I had never noticed from that location before and because it was so perfectly stationary, I stopped walking to take a better look. At first, I was thinking that it may have been part of the superstructure on the top of the building as it was so immobile. After thinking about it for a few moments, I concluded that it must be part of the building and it was connected by a guide wire or something. I dismissed the original sighting as being irrelevant and went inside and quickly forgot about it.
Around 9 AM, I had to go to the Screen House building located toward Lake Ontario. After walking from the Screen House going west, I looked up and saw the same object again and this time it was a bit higher and slightly west of the vacuum building structure. The top of the vacuum building is about 200 feet, and this was about 200 to 300 feet above it. I watched it for about five minutes, and it did not move. It was stationary and that is the reason I stood there watching it. In my mind no objects in flight are so stationary and that is the reason it caught my attention. After watching it for a bit I saw a friend of mine and I pointed it out to him. His analysis was that it may be a kite being flown from Frenchman’s Bay to the west of the plant. I was somewhat inclined to agree with him and went back into the plant to continue my work.
Later, in the morning I walked out to the back of the plant, and it was gone. I searched the sky and to my amazement I saw it again. It had changed locations. This time it was situated over the cooling water inflow behind the vacuum building structure at about even with its height (around 200 feet). I watched it for a couple of minutes.
Later, in the afternoon around 2 PM, I walked back out again to see it in the same place behind the vacuum building structure. It had not moved. I again wrote it off as explainable since it reminded me of a surveillance drone observing plant activities. In retrospect I should have informed security. The object was dark and rectangular and may have been the size of a 45-gallon drum. It was positioned horizontally not vertically. I don’t make any claims that this was not a man-made object, but its behavior was quite peculiar. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccufo.org
Editor’s Note: Pickering, Ontario’ UFOs have been seen regularly in the area for many years. UFOs were seen on June 10, June 14, near the power plant and over Lake Ontario on June 20, at 11:30 PM, and June 25. 200
Atlantic Ocean Base
FAA Reports 10,000 UFO Sightings
The Bermuda Triangle enlarged in red and areas off the East Coast of the US have long been known for frequent sightings of UFOs and the strange disappearance of aircraft and ships. The Federal Aviation Administration has seen a dramatic increase in UFO/UAP incidents, recording approximately 10,000 reports in the last five years. The War Zone has identified a substantial number of military encounters with unidentified aircraft among those reports, often in sensitive airspace. When I flew out of Langley Air Force Base, Virginia in 1967, we used to see them periodically. Navy divers told us they saw them under water moving at high speed around the coast. This was before drones existed. THE Bermuda Triangle mystery has seen at least 75 planes and hundreds of ships go missing at the location without explanation. The Bermuda Triangle is infamous for making everything from cargo ships to airplanes disappear. The mysterious body of water is clouded with rumors of suspicions — if not supernatural — activity. Over the past century, the Bermuda Triangle has been “swallowing” vessels and is blamed for the loss of hundreds of lives.
Scientist Shane Sutter said that he knows the reason why ships and planes regularly disappear in the Bermuda Triangle without a trace. To date, it is generally accepted that about 1000 people have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, and experts still cannot explain the reasons for what is happening. When flying to Bermuda from Langley AFB it was not unusual to become well of course due to unknown forces, such changes is variation, compass anomalies.
FAA reports, while some of the incidents represent typical hazards associated with commercial drones, others are indicative of advanced capabilities, including the ability to fly at relatively high altitudes and to potentially operate in coordinated groups. More so, it is not just what’s happening, it is where it is happening that is so intriguing.
Possible Underwater Base
The incidents appear to have predominantly impacted the U.S. Navy and Air Force, with a pronounced geographic nexus off the coast of the southeastern United States, as well as another in the southwestern United States. Many of the incidents we identified occurred far out over the ocean in military training ranges that have become known for ongoing sightings of unusual aircraft. Notably, there were far fewer similar incidents reported to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in other areas that also host a great deal of military activity, such as off the West Coast or around Florida. It is unclear if this is because fewer incidents happen in those locations or if it is because reporting practices are inconsistent, or a mixture of both. Thanks to Bill LaParl
I knew the senior physicist at Lockheed who also informed me that there was much underwater activity by the Star Visitors. He told an amazing story of witnessing a huge craft that came down and flew slowly over the Lockheed facility in Puerto Rico – he was there and saw this stunning event. He said the craft was so large that he cast a shadow over the entire valley that the Lockheed facility was nestled in.
I wanted to share this about Dr. Debus from Aerospace Engineer Clark McClelland: “Several years before the Atlas incident in September of ’64, a Juno II rocket had been launched by the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at Cape Canaveral, Florida. German Scientist, Dr. Wernher von Braun was assigned to this agency in Huntsville, Alabama
von Braum and Dr. Debus
The “buzz” around the Cape was that the Juno II, which was having tests run on the ablative shield applied to its nosecone, was accompanied by “visitors” which followed it into the earth’s atmosphere upon reentry. The nosecone left quite a streak, resembling a fireball as it reentered atmosphere. Remarkably, the UFOs seemed to behave as if atmospheric friction was not an issue. I was working on a launch tower steel modification assignment when Dr. von Braun and other former German Scientists were doing an on-site inspection near Launch Pad 5. I had an opportunity to introduce myself to him, Dr. Kurt DeBus, Director of the ABMA Launch Team at the Cape, and Dr. Grune, his deputy. As Dr. DeBus walked ahead of von Braun and me, I asked him, “Dr. von Braun, is it true that a Juno II we launched from here had other unknown craft accompany it back into the earth’s atmosphere?”
He looked at me with a bit of surprise, and said, “Young man, yes we had such an encounter with a power that appears advanced beyond ours here. Stronger than we have assumed and unknown to us where their base is located. I cannot say much more other than we are entering into a closer contact with these unknown powers and perhaps within a short time, a few months or so of time, we will be capable of saying more.” I must have had my lower jaw hit the ground when I heard these statements. I shook his hand and returned to my assignments.
Later, I would learn that he made a similar statement while visiting his homeland of Germany. I personally withheld this astounding disclosure for many years due to my utmost respect for this pioneer of space travel.”
Pacific Ocean California Coast
Numerous UFOs Seen in this Area
Approximately six miles off the coast of Malibu, California, an unusual-looking structure sits on the sea-bed floor at the following Google Earth coordinates: 34° 1’23.31″N 118° 59’45.64″W Speculation about the true identity of this object runs from a natural geological fault line formation to an underwater alien UFO base. California has been a UFO hot spot for years, so when it was theorized that a structure discovered 600 meters (2,000 ft) below the water 10 kilometers (6 mi) off the coast of Malibu was in fact an alien base, it didn’t come as that much of a surprise. The structure has a distinct oval shape and what appears to be flat top. It measures approximately 5 kilometers (3 mi) wide, and there also seem to be pillars holding up the main “roof” of the mysterious anomaly. These pillars look to be spaced evenly apart, almost as if it were an entrance of sorts for underwater craft such as UFOs/USOs.
Possible Underwater Base near Malibu
The U.S. Navy has captured underwater sonar and radar of Craft for years. The alleged alien base was first brought into the public arena when Jimmy Church, who hosts the radio show Fade to Black, acted upon information given to him by a listener, who went by the name of “Maxwell.” Maxwell gave coordinates from Google Earth that showed something he believed may be an artificial structure. Church, with his design team, obtained as many different angles of the structure as they could. Church stated that after investigating all these angles, he very much believes this structure is indeed artificial, even going as far as to say it could be the “holy grail” for ufologists.
Of course, not everyone subscribes to this theory. Earthquake geologist David Schwartz, for example, states that the alien base is most likely nothing more than part of the continental shelf, further stating that he didn’t see “anything special” in the pictures. Ben Hansen, a former FBI agent and an expert in pictures and video, also warned that people should be cautious how they interpret Google Earth images, stating they are pieced together from different sources and can often be misleading. The Navy encounters were mostly south of this area and actual base may be off the coast of Lower California.
Large Tic Tac UAP /UFO Tracked by Sonar
Bill Tomkins had informed us that not only did the Star Visitors have underwater bases around the planet – that there were also no go zones on Navy maps wherein no surface, air or undersea craft could go into those no-go zones!
He also told us that was a regular undersea highway of Star Craft between the coast of California and Catalina Island that had constant activity!
Gulf of Mexico Sightings
Possible Crash and Base
UFOs/USOs are often seen in the Gulf off the Southern States. Gulf Breeze near Pensacola has had sightings for many years. People living along the coast report they can see the craft emerging from the water several miles at sea. Fisherman report that exceptionally large turtles are frequently seen moving along at the speed of the fishing boats. Additionally, they are almost like robots in appearance.
The military was testing experimental Rail guns near Eglin Air Force Base and shooting at targets in the Gulf. Lt Col Don Ware was notified by several abductees that they had been told the shooting in the Gulf must stop or the aliens would stop it. Ware visited the top General on the base and told him then news and the Testing in that direction was stopped.
On 9 May 88 Bob Oechsler wrote to President Reagan requesting he do something about air-space violations by aliens and human-rights violations of abductees in the Gulf Breeze area. Evidence that this letter was taken seriously was given when Oechsler received a reply from a Rear Admiral representing Navy Operations Warfare.
Pensacola Naval Air Station
On 21 August 1988, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the commanders of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines etc. met at Pensacola Naval Air Station for the first time ever and visited a hangar nest to the bay that had been temporarily air conditioned at considerable effort and placed under heavy security. My daughter was good friends with the daughter of the local Trader Jon’s Bar hangout for the Navy personnel. They were told a UFO crashed in Santa Rosa Sound and was brought to the hangar where the JCS could see it firsthand. I attempted to enter the Naval Station and was denied entry while the JCS was there. My daughter’s boyfriend had a fast boat, so we tried to enter the hangar from the Bay but were stopped by a Naval Patrol boat with machine guns drawn.
I suspect that vehicle was in that hangar, the closest place to hide it undetected. Lt. Colonel Don Ware intervened an abductee who claimed to be taken aboard a UFO that was hit by some kind of weapon and crashed into the Santa Rosa Sound and she was able to get out and swim ashore. I suspect the vehicle was brought down because it did not stay away from Gulf Breeze at an overly sensitive time when TV camera crews were visiting Gulf Breeze looking for UFOS. If Unsolved Mysteries had gotten good video of UFOs comparable to the photos Ed Walters had taken, I think our government would have had difficulty managing public reaction.
English Crop Circle
Stanton St Bernard, Near Alton Barnes, Wiltshire. Reported 10th May. 2021
(LifeSiteNews) — In the classic movie The Manchurian Candidate, an American prisoner of war is brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party into becoming an unwitting assassin of an anti-communist presidential candidate. Leave it to Hollywood to sensationalize everything.
General Spalding wrote “Stealth War” the Secret War on the U.S.
While the Chinese Communist Party is a master at brainwashing, and is certainly not averse to assassinations, it has long followed a simpler script where American politicians are concerned. The preferred ploy is for Party operatives to offer a politico’s immediate family members sweetheart business deals. The expectation is that the families will then toe Beijing’s line — or else. The Chinese President told Vice President Biden we will take over the United States in 2035.
General Spalding who wrote One thing is clear: we need more investigative reporting into PR & lobbying world, law firms as well as academics & journalists who have accepted payments from Beijing or Chinese companies for lobbying/PR type of work. And we need to clearly differentiate this from espionage. We should take a closer look at those paid by Beijing in our political, lobbying, academic & media elites to do the party state’s bidding. I don’t agree with every detail and assessment of this. The Communist Party Chinese media informs the people they are at war with the United States ,and everyone must do their part to win. It apparently includes Bio-warfare, weather warfare, trade warfare, stealing technology, and overwhelming hacking. Apparently Chinese food is not tested for COVID-19 that may explain why peopled in locked up states have much higher number of deaths than open states.
European Food Safety Authority has already said,in March 18, 2020 .there is no proof so far that COVID-19 spreads through food
Possible Life of Venus
Venus, our planetary neighbor, is a hot, unforgiving world. Its toxic atmosphere and sweltering surface make it a challenging place to study, and it’s been over three decades since NASA visited Earth’s twin until now!
We’re sending two bold new planetary science missions to study this inferno-like world: DAVINCI+ and VERITAS. Part of our Discovery Program, these missions aim to understand how Venus became an inferno-like world when it has so many other characteristics like ours – and may have been the first habitable world in the solar system, complete with an ocean and Earth-like climate.
On a special edition of NASA Science Live, leaders from the newly announced Venus missions discussed this intriguing world, and answered #AskNASA questions. Watch the episode on-demand here.

Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft. During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer. From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters, Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public. Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book. By John L. Guerra. https://amzn.to/2SK3SIQ

UFO Sightings in the United States
Sightings are from MUFON CMS
Arizona Light
Glendale – on June 7, 2021, after photographing a saucer UFOs ever since the middle of January 2021, I photographed this crazy spectacle in the skies of Phoenix Arizona today, June 7th, 2021. My conspiracy theory is that it’s either a crash in midair or in space, of something big, or there are UFO’s coming out of this explosion, which is all I can say to describe it, or a crack in the sky.
Glendale – on June 14, 2021, strange object that reminded me of the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars darting around while moving North. This is nothing like other, recent UFO sightings I have witnessed. There is an “appendage” sticking out from the craft that has a wild, jumpy, jagged path as it was moving North
California Objects
San Diego – on June 14, 2021, there were 5 black objects flying together just after sunset. Directly office shore in Pacific beach. A crowd of people were standing around watching a man blow giant bubbles. I saw the objects. My friend and I photographed them then they disintegrated
Colorado Lights
Denver— on June 3, 2021, Star Cruiser #485 A high quality digital still photograph shot in Jpeg and Raw file. at 8:35 p.m. MST. 06/03/21
Florida Lights
Boynton Beach –on June 12, 2021, witnessed multiple sightings unexplainable by light fragmentation. Sudden appearance followed by disappearance all out west towards the Everglades. Utilizing abnormal cloud, rain, and lightening coverage. I have a very steady hand as noted in stability from bottom of clips and the rigid sudden movements is that of the ships.
Illinois Lights
Chicago – August 15, 2015, my husband and I were at the lakefront in Chicago on a Wednesday night in the air and water show was to happen that weekend so there were jets and the like practicing during the daytime. we were crossing the street to go to Buckingham fountains when we saw this object in the sky over the water. It was ridiculously hard to distinguished what it was, and we had no visible sound coming from it. no one else in the area seem to think it was anything or even notice it. The more times I’ve shown the video to people no one can tell me what it is.
Massachusetts Light
Sandwich – on June 13, 2021, it was a beautiful afternoon, so my wife and I sat on our back deck and enjoyed the clear sky. I commented that there were no planes at all flying around. Then I noticed an object that was reflecting the sun. It wasn’t moving very much, just sort of hovering almost directly above us, perhaps 5-10 degrees lower. It had no flight path and moved from left to right. It would be visible one moment, then it would seem to disappear. I had just purchased a new zoom camera and I had it with me, so I started filming. I just continued to film until I could see the bright object. I managed to zoom in on it and get a few seconds of clear video. When I put the memory card into my iMac, I was able to see the object much more clearly. It appears to be donut shaped with a hole in the center and with a bright glint of light on top. It almost looked like an engagement ring. I am attaching three videos. The one titled: “First Video” is the first clip I shot. It is unedited.
New Jersey Light’
Bellmawr– on June-20. 2021, the object in the sky seemed to be rotating spinning very quickly. The lights surrounding it would go from white to red to green and back to white. When observed thru high powered binoculars it seemed to move like a worm, then do something like cursive writing across the sky. Its movements were fast and seemingly sporadic. Could not follow any type of pattern as its movements were varied and too quick to follow visually.
Texas Object
Houston– on Sunday evening, June 13th, 2021, 6:30 pm, I was in the backyard admiring the sky and took a picture of the beautiful rays coming from the sun. I looked at the picture the next day and noticed an odd shape and zoomed in and saw what looks like a UFO. I don’t recall hearing a sound and didn’t notice anything in the sky.
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Lights
Christie Downs– on June 4, 2021, I don’t know what’s happening in the sky above Adelaide now. but once again I witnessed something strange in the sky. this time I saw three-disc shaped objects travelling west to east at speed. I was lucky enough to get a photo of the objects before they disappeared.
Canada Lights
Taylor Lake, British Columbia – on February 28, 2021, my sighting was in Taylor Lake at 6:00 PM. What I saw is exactly what my picture shows. I am looking forward to hearing back from you.
Note: The witness captured Lenticular clouds on her photo. These clouds are frequently mistaken for UFO’s. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
UK/England lights
Kiley— on June 8, 2021, was outside with my friend when he said can you see them lights over there by Pemberley Range. I turned to look and there was a bright white orb keeping in the sky. After about three minutes another white orb smaller than the other seemed to come out of the other orb. This orb then slowly started to move forward then descended below the tree line. After about a minute it then reappeared over the tree line. The smaller orb then flew towards the bigger orb slowly and seemed to go back into the first one. The first orb then started to move in a straight line heading toward Lanelle/Swansea. After it seemed to head over Burry Port it vanished all together. There was no sound, no smoke trail or trails. It stayed bright while it moved. I know that this was not an aircraft as the firing range was closed and there were no aircraft nearby at all.

Astronomers have spotted the largest comet ever recorded coming from the Oort Cloud. And at 20 times the distance between Earth and the Sun (20 astronomical units), beyond Uranus’s orbit, it’s already venting gas.
All long-period comets are thought to come from the Oort Cloud surrounding the solar system. But 2014 UN271 is unique in having a particularly elongated orbit and distant turnaround point within that cloud. (This diagram is conceptual and not representative of this object's orbit.) NAOJ
New observations, taken on June 22nd with the 0.51-meter SkyGems Remote Telescope in Namibia, reveal “clear cometary activity, with a 15-arcsecond coma,” Luca Buzzi reported this morning on the Minor Planet Mailing List.
A BIG COMET
Astronomers discovered the comet, dubbed 2014 UN271, in data collected by the Dark Energy Survey, which recently released data on hundreds of millions of galaxies spread over one-eighth of the sky. Survey computers spent millions of hours automatically searching the entire data set for transient objects moving across the sky. And from 2014 to 2018 one of them was the comet, yielding the orbit reported June 19th in a Minor Planet Electronic Circular.
The orbit immediately drew attention because it showed the comet coming from deep in the Oort Cloud, a group of planetesimals surrounding the Sun at icy distances of about 1,000 to 100,000 a.u. The comet will continue inward almost to the orbit of Saturn before heading back out again. The new observations put it at about magnitude 20, which enables a rough estimate of its diameter of 160 kilometers (100 miles). That puts it at the large end of objects seen from the Oort Cloud, seen as long-period comets by the time they’re visible from Earth. But it’s a lightweight relative to the rest of the solar system, so it could be tossed around by a close encounter with a planet.
That size isn't enough to make it a dwarf planet, but it is the biggest object from the Oort Cloud that we’ve seen so far. It’s ahead of the modern record-holder, Comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1), which was only about 60 kilometers across. The Comet of 1729 (C/1729 P1), may have spanned on the order of 100 km; however, it never came much inside Jupiter's orbit, so observers at the time were limited in what they could see.
THE ORBIT
The Oort Cloud comet 2014 UN271 is shown in white in this solar system diagram. The orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are marked in orange, yellow, green, and blue, respectively. NASA
“The orbit we've got [for 2014 UN271] is actually quite good,” says Bill Gray of Project Pluto. It's based on 37 observations taken over four years with a 4-meter telescope and the Dark Energy Survey’s DECam high-performance camera. From that data, calculations predict that the comet will reach perihelion on January 23, 2031, at 10.95 a.u., just outside the most distant point of Saturn's orbit. Tony Dunn's Orbit Simulator site shows it approaching at an inclination of 95°.
Aphelion, or the farthest point from the Sun, is much more uncertain because the orbit is extremely elongated and the swing around Saturn will alter its orbit, but Gray says the comet will clearly turn around in the Oort Cloud, and it’s definitely not an interstellar object. When the MPEC orbit was updated with Buzzi’s new observations, the comet's most recent aphelion was calculated to be 40,000 a.u. and the prediction for the next one became 55,000 a.u. That means the comet took 1.39 million years to reach its present position from the last aphelion, and will take about 2.2 million years going back to the outer edge of its modified orbit, says amateur astronomer Sam Deen.
The Oort Cloud in context. Though it has never been observed directly, long-period comets offer evidence that trillions of small, icy bodies exist at the very outer reaches of the solar system. ESA
Gray sees little likelihood of pre-discovery observations because the comet was a little fainter than magnitude 22 when first spotted, and earlier it would have been even fainter. On the other hand, he says, it’s possible the comet will show up in observations taken since 2018.
New, targeted observations will help constrain the comet’s orbit as well as other key characteristics, including its rotation period, satellites, and composition. The behavior of comets is notoriously difficult to predict, but this one is getting off to a very early start, and many more telescopes will be turned toward it in the coming months and years.
A Newly-Discovered (Almost) Dwarf Planet Will Come Surprisingly Close in 2031
A Newly-Discovered (Almost) Dwarf Planet Will Come Surprisingly Close in 2031
It’s good to remember how little we know about the outer solar system. Humans only really began observing it within the past 100 years, and given the constraints on that observations there are still plenty of things we don’t know about. For example, researchers recently found an object almost the size of a dwarf planet that is inbound to the inner solar system, with an estimated orbital period of over 2 million years, more than six the lifetime of the modern human species.
The object, known as 2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein), was originally observed in 2014 but first noted on June 19th, 2021 by Pedro Bernardelli and Gary Bernstein, and now has its own Wikipedia page. The data on the object was collected by the Dark Energy Survey over the course of 4 years, but now new observing platforms are being brought to bear on this novel object.
UT video discussing the Oort cloud.
With those additional observational platforms come additional insights. Right now, 2014 UN271 is expected to reach its perihelion just outside the orbit of Saturn before returning to the depths of the Oort cloud for another spin around the sun. Its size is estimated to be between 100 and 370 km wide, making it possibly the biggest Oort cloud object ever observed.
Having already passed Neptune’s orbit, 2014 UN271 is well on its journey into the inner solar system. As it draws closer to the sun, astronomers expect it to get the coma and tail characteristic of comets, as its surface starts to evaporate in the heat. Unfortunately, it likely won’t be bright enough to present a spectacular display like other well known comets.
2014 UN271 could also be considered a Kuiper belt object, which is discussed in this UT video.
But it will be closely observed now that its presence is more widely known. There is already talk of potentially sending a mission to rendezvous with it when it reaches its perihelion point in 2031. Whatever resources are eventually brought to bear on it, its mere existence will serve as an important reminder of how little we know about what’s out there.
Could Life Exist in the Atmosphere of a sub-Neptune Planet?
Could Life Exist in the Atmosphere of a sub-Neptune Planet?
Earth is perfectly suited for organic life. It stands to reason then that similar worlds orbiting distant stars might also be rich with life. But proving it will be a challenge. One of the better ways to discover extraterrestrial life will be to study the atmospheres of inhabited exoplanets, but Earth is fairly small for a planet and has a thin atmosphere compared to larger worlds. It will be much easier to study the atmospheres of gas planets, but could such worlds harbor life? A new paper in Universe argues it could.
Exobiologists have long argued that we shouldn’t assume all life in the universe will be on planets similar to Earth. The subsurface oceans of Enceladus and Ganymede could support terrestrial life and Titan has a rich methane chemistry that might support exotic life. But most ideas about life require three main ingredients: energy, water, and a surface.
The first two are pretty obvious. Life needs some kind of energy source to survive, whether it be solar or geothermal, and water is the perfect solution to allow complex molecules to interact. But the requirement of a surface is more subtle. It isn’t needed for life to survive, since lots of organisms can spend their entire life in water or air. Instead, it seems to be necessary for life to arise. Surface chemistry is incredibly good at creating large organic molecules, even in space. It likely takes a rocky surface to create the building blocks of life.

This new paper argues that while surface chemistry might be needed for life to arise in a planetary system, it isn’t needed for life to thrive. The work focuses on warm sub-Neptune worlds. These planets are about 8 – 10 times more massive than Earth and are likely small gas planets with a thick atmosphere but no terrestrial surface. Several of these worlds have been found in the potentially habitable zone of their star, such as K2-18b, which closely orbits a red dwarf star.
The team shows that warm sub-Neptunes such as K2-18b likely have plenty of water and organic molecules needed to create a habitable zone within their atmosphere. And being smaller gas worlds, it is likely that the habitable layer is fairly stable, allowing for any life to remain aloft long enough to reproduce before sinking to the hostile depths below. Similar arguments have been made for the potentially habitable layer of Venus’s atmosphere. But unlike Venus, K2-18b isn’t likely to have a surface. So even though life might survive on a sub-Neptune world, how would it get there?
Asteroids might seed sub-Neptunes with life. Credit: ESO
Here the team argues that asteroids might come to the rescue. If an exoplanetary system has an unstable asteroid belt, meteorite impacts with the sub-Neptune planet and smaller terrestrial worlds would both be common. This cross-pollination could bring life to a gassy world.
Because sub-Neptunes are fairly common and have thick atmospheres, they will be among the first planets we study for signs of life. While the odds of finding life on these worlds might be a bit long, it’s worth taking a look just because we can.

UFO Sighted Over Los Angeles, California ( May 24, 2021 )
Transparent UFO Filmed in Los Angeles | UFO FIELD RESEARCH ORGANIZATION
STATEMENT :
This UFO was filmed in Los Angeles on a balcony near the 10 freeway, about 1 mile east of the 405 freeway. The UAP in the video was filmed at 8:12 pm. Not sure what this distance was, but it was so far that I couldn't see it with my naked eye. Found it by panning my Nikon P1000 camera across the sky to see if anything would come into view, was also meditating on letting my hand be guided to finding something that I felt was up there. It mostly moved north while occasionally shifting east. I was trying to stay on it in the sky until I accidentally zoomed out and lost it while trying to grab photos of the Unidentified flying object. It was filmed on May 24th, 2021

I gave a description in case number 116466 and forgot to add video and photos this is the same report. I'm not sure what it is or if we have aircraft that do this but I've personally never saw it. Possible orbs in video and photo you be the judge I would appreciate feedback.
116466 REPORT :
I'm no expert or trained pilot or observer so I'm not sure what it is but I've never saw a plane do this and I heard no sound for it to be a helicopter I've uploaded video and photos with what could also be orbs in both. I'd like to hear feedback. Enjoy

Long Description of Sighting Report
At approximately 12:13 am on 06/23/2021 while driving to pick up a customer, I saw a pulsating gold/orange colored round object. What caught my attention was the fact there weren’t any lights as such on an airplane or helicopter would have! I’d seen it fade in and out, and descend at a slow speed. I would immediately get it on film. After watching it for up to a minute and a half it went out and did not seem to reappear!

Entrance To Ancient Pitt Causes Drone To Lose Control And Camera Stop! UFO Sighting News.
Date of video: Sept 12, 2020
Location of Hole: Barhout Well in Mahra, Yemen
This ancient hole is said to have existed for hundreds and maybe thousands of years. The eyewitness who recorded the video calls the Jin...evil spirits that punish those who come too close. Some aliens species are that way, emotionless so they act as if they don't care, but act on intelligence and logic.
The eyewitness flew an expensive drone camera into the mouth of the pitt and suddenly began to lose control of the craft. He said the drone began swaying back and forth and the controls were becoming weaker and weaker as it went further down. Out of fear of losing the craft all together they pull up...however the camera on the drone froze...giving just a few seconds of video of the bottom. But even after he finished the video, still the camera was on the fritz unable to work. Alien technology often causes our technology to crash and die. For instance a UFO over a car or house might shut it down, turn off the radio or turn off the lights in your house. Alien tech interfered with the drones radio waves and camera causing it to malfunction.
Then he took a microphone and began to lower it into the edge of the pit so that we could hear what he heard come from it. Sounds of water trickling, flowing and birds were evident, but then a crying sound every few seconds and a loud growling also came once in a while. He said the pit often had a bad putrid smell to it, which is a sign demons were within it. Thats also a sign of methane gas...which often comes from living things...like an alien base deep below the ground. I believe that over the last few thousand years, aliens and UFOs have used this hole to exit and enter an underground alien base about 5-6km below the surface. Also, so aliens live in an atmosphere of gasses that would smell putrid to us, but perfect for them.
While everyone on Planet Earth anxiously awaits to see what the Pentagon says about aliens in their highly-anticipated UFO report this month, their previous official comments on the subject are quite confusing and contradictory. And documents obtained by the Post show that it led to a complaint filed with the Department of Defense (DOD) Inspector General accusing the Pentagon of hiding the truth from the American public. Since 2017, seemingly every media outlet has reported the bombshell news that the Pentagon had a secret UFO program for many years. This program was called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). Whistleblower Lue Elizondo claims he was the director of this shadowy program during his time at the DOD. But what the Pentagon has officially said about all this has never been widely reported. Buckle up. Because it’s quite the roller coaster.
Pentagon has no explanation for more than 100 UFO sightings
Pentagon has no explanation for more than 100 UFO sightings
According to the Pentagon’s federal intelligence report, the UFOs seen in recent years by Navy pilots were not secret technology. In addition, he does not rule out that they are alien ships.
The report is the product of a military task force established last year to investigate decades of unexplained aerial sightings in US airspace.
The Defense Department said it wanted to “improve its understanding” of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs, and determine whether they posed a threat to national security.
The report was ordered as part of an aid package signed by the former US president last year.
Its publication has caused an entire revelation in society because UFO sightings have long been the source of conspiracy theories.
Speculation about the content has been very present in the media before its revelation in Congress on June 25.
What do we know about the report?
Details of the research were first reported Thursday by the New York Times, followed by CNN and the Washington Post.
Those media outlets said they spoke with various government officials about the long-awaited report’s findings.
Officials said that of the more than 120 incidents documented in the past two decades, most were reported by U.S. Navy personnel, while some involved foreign military personnel.
CNN said it spoke to three sources who revealed that the report does not rule out the extraterrestrial activity as a possible explanation in some of these cases.
However, it must also be said that there is no evidence that the aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots in recent years were alien spacecraft.
Citing intelligence officials, CNN said experimental technology from a rival power, such as China or Russia, could explain at least some of the aerial phenomena.
Regardless of the true origin, intelligence officials are concerned about the national security implications of this finding.
NASA will investigate UFOs
Bill Nelson, NASA’s new administrator, has ordered space agency scientists to investigate unidentified flying objects.
The former Florida senator who flew aboard the space shuttle Columbia said there is no evidence yet that aliens have visited Earth, but he doesn’t rule it out either.
“We don’t know if it is extraterrestrial,” Nelson told CNN of the encounters recorded by Navy pilots.
“We do not know if it is an enemy. We do not know if it is an optical phenomenon. We do not believe that it is an optical phenomenon due to the characteristics described by the pilots of the Navy aircraft. And the bottom line is that we want to know. “
NASA press secretary Jackie McGuinness said Nelson has not established an official task force to begin investigating UFOs, but did direct investigators to advance their investigation of the issue.
“This is a really interesting phenomenon and the Americans are clearly interested in it so if scientists want to do research, they should do it,” McGuinness said.
The report is ambiguous and imprecise about the mysterious objects recorded by the Pentagon. But it is still surprising that the possibility that they are of extraterrestrial origin is not ruled out.
And the curious thing of all is that NASA, which has always been skeptical of all sightings, has decided to investigate actively.
For this episode of Keeping it Weird, I'm excited to share a theory I've had for a long time now... that the Walt Disney Company is invested and helping to bring about Disclosure, through its movies, TV shows, and theme park rides.

Three UFO Orbs Sighted Over Cajon Pass & Orb Spotted Over Las Vegas Moments Before Vanishing
Clip one: This was sighted over Cajon Pass a mountain pass in San Bernardino, California. The witness stated the following "We drove down to Huntington Beach around 11:30PM at night and while going down the El Cajon Pass, we noticed spinning orbs at the top of a mountain. The formation the orbs made it seem as it was one ship with lights circling counter clockwise but as we saw it detail, no structure was attached to the orbs, they were suspended as they floated. As they rotated around, one orb would separate from the others by arching up and moving down then disappear, only for another orb to reappear with the ones circling. This of course freaked out everyone in the car, myself included. We were in awe at what we were seeing, yet I had to keep control of my car as we were in the highway and had to make sure we wouldn’t crash but I do consider the first encounter to be twice as amazing as both videos I’ve uploaded.I told my girlfriend and sister if they could pull out there phone to record but were just frozen staring as we drove down. The occurrence left us talking about it for the whole car ride and we’re unable to enjoy the late night outing as my little sister was scared and My girl and I were so excited. As we drove back home to Victorville, we started to approached the Glen Helen area and told my girlfriend to be ready with my phone to record as I had a feeling we would see something else again, as I honestly have had experiences like this before but not so up close and nothing that I could obtain photographical evidence from. Lo and behold, there it was in the recordings posted here clear as day. I am almost certain it was the same group of orbs that we saw on the first occurrence. The first video captures the moment we arrived at the area with camera at hand, but there was actually 4 lights prior to only being 3. One of them just disappeared as my girlfriend starts recording and we are just tripping the hell out that we saw this twice and wouldn’t let the second time go to waste. I told my girlfriend to stop recording when the mountains blocked the view. Within 3-4 seconds while she’s getting ready to record again, the lights are in a very strange formation, with two lights on top with some separation and three lights at the bottom more close together. I saw a red light for about a few milliseconds just zip through the lights on top and they started to fade out, that’s when my girlfriend recorded part two and you start seeing the other ones fade away in the video." Thanks to Mario Garcia, His sister & His girlfriend for allowing me the use of their footage and to view the original footage:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoBr...
Clip Two: This footage the white orbs can be seen flying over the sky above until it reaches the M Resort Spa in Las Vegas where the object makes a full stop and in my opinion it powers up and this is what the color changes where about because as soon it does this it vanishes right before our eyes. the witness states the following "While at the dog park a very bright orb flew over me and vanishes over the M resort." Thanks Orb Rendezvous for allowing me the use of this footage and to view the full, Unedited video
Clip Three: Just a bit of fun and this did cheer me up so i hope you all will have a good old laugh with me when watching this clip... Thanks to The Real Spark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z- A_hRDlTs&ab_channel=TheRealSpark
Six UFOs Captured During Video Of The Night Sky!

In recent days, it was reported that the Navy’s UAP Task Force has concluded that no evidence it has examined related to unidentified aerial phenomena points to evidence of extraterrestrial spacecraft, according to a recent New York Times article that cited American intelligence officials who had been briefed on the report’s findings.
Notably, Julian Barnes and NYT Pentagon correspondent Helene Cooper reported that despite finding no conclusive links to alien spacecraft, senior officials said that the task force “still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military,” and that many of the unusual aerial objects observed by Navy pilots and other members of the armed forces could not be attributed to technologies currently in use by the United States.
The report does not rule out the possibility that some of the 120 incidents the UAP Task Force examined could be linked to technologies developed by Russia or China, and notably, “could not definitively rule out theories that the phenomena observed by military pilots might be alien spacecraft.”
The idea that some unidentified aerial phenomena might represent a form of exotic technology has been with us for decades, at the very least. Despite the fact that, to date, no conclusive evidence in support of this possibility has surfaced, the current assessments of the UAP Task Force recently conveyed to the New York Times are by no means the first time that the U.S. military has left open the possibility that some phenomena observed by our military could have otherworldly origins.

The controversy surrounding the origin of these objects coincided with the U.S. Air Force’s earliest inquiries into what had been first called “flying saucers,” following a June 1947 sighting of a group of objects flying in formation near Mount Rainier, Washington by pilot Kenneth Arnold.
These sighting reports and the concern that they generated resulted in numerous programs and studies, which began with Projects Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book, in addition to other reports and investigations aimed at assessing whether there was anything to be made of the claims of unidentified flying objects (or UFOs, as Blue Book’s first director Edward Ruppelt dubbed them).
Project Sign began at the end of 1947 and concluded the following year with an “Estimate of the Situation” that determined UFOs could not be attributed to US or Soviet technologies, advising the Pentagon that the objects may be of extraterrestrial origin. This conclusion would appear to be the first time that a branch of the U.S. military has considered whether UFOs might have extraterrestrial origins. However, the explanation was deemed unacceptable, resulting in the end of Project Sign, and the launch of the appropriately named Project Grudge in late 1948. It was dissolved too, like its predecessor, in 1951 making way for Project Blue Book, which would continue for most of the next two decades. During the 1950s and 60s, the USAF gathered countless reports on UFOs, and several notable reports and studies were conducted during this period, which included the famous Project Blue Book Special Report 14. However, the Blue Book era ended with Edward U. Condon’s Colorado University UFO project, which argued that there was no scientific merit to UFO studies (despite being unable to discount every UFO case in the Blue Book files).
“On the basis of present knowledge,” the Condon Committee’s report stated, “the least likely explanation of UFOs is the hypothesis of extraterrestrial visitations by intelligent beings.”
While the Air Force disclosed much of the information that it gathered about UFOs (with a few notable exceptions), it would be decades before the American public would begin to learn to what extent U.S. intelligence agencies like the CIA and the FBI had also taken interest in UFOs, albeit more quietly.
“In the middle 60s… the FBI responded to a simple request for information that the FBI is not and has never been involved with [UFOs],” says Bruce Maccabee, Ph.D., an optical physicist and researcher who spent decades studying UFO reports and appealing to agencies like the FBI and CIA for information on the subject. “Which, of course, is a lie, but as far as they were concerned it didn’t make any difference; they weren’t going to go public saying anything anyway, so that’s a pretty good clue that they’d want to cover it up.”
“As far as the CIA is concerned,” Maccabee says, “the CIA decided to do an investigation of Project Blue Book people, to see how the situation on Flying Saucers was. And this happened just after [Chief Major General John] Samford’s press conference in July of 1952, which is sort of a novel thing to contemplate.”
Government agencies investigating other government agencies, and all in an effort to try and understand what—if anything—to make out of UFOs, is indeed a novel concept.

“CIA closely monitored the Air Force effort, aware of the mounting number of sightings and increasingly concerned that UFOs might pose a potential security threat,” wrote CIA historian Gerald K. Haines in his article “CIA’s role in the study of UFOs, 1947–90: A die‐hard issue,” published in Volume 14 of the CIA’s in-house publication, Intelligence and National Security, Volume 14, 1999. However, Haines’ study also stated that “while Agency concern over UFOs was substantial until the early 1950s, CIA has since paid only limited and peripheral attention to the phenomena.”
What accounts for the waning interest of the intelligence community? As Haines noted in his historical overview, early on it seemed that the CIA’s interest in UFOs had been significant:
“Because of the tense Cold War situation and increased Soviet capabilities, the CIA Study Group saw serious national security concerns in the flying saucer situation. The group believed that the Soviets could use UFO reports to touch off mass hysteria and panic in the United States. The group also believed that the Soviets might use UFO sightings to overload the US air warning system so that it could not distinguish real targets from phantom UFOs. H. Marshall Chadwell, Assistant Director of OSI, added that he considered the problem of such importance that it should be brought to the attention of the National Security Council, in order that a communitywide coordinated effort towards it solution may be initiated.”
This would change, however, notably with the publication of a Robertson Panel study on UFOs assembled by and named after H.P. Robertson, a physicist with the California Institute of Technology in January 1953. “The Robertson panel’s conclusions were strikingly similar to those of the earlier Air Force project reports on SIGN and GRUDGE and to those of the CIA’s own OSI Study Group,” Haines writes. “All investigative groups found that UFO reports indicated no direct threat to national security and no evidence of visits by extraterrestrials.”

The Robertson Panel’s conclusions decades ago were remarkably similar to the current assessments expected to be delivered by the UAP Task Force in its forthcoming report. They essentially found no evidence of a threat posed by unidentified flying objects, and nothing conclusive that could link them to visits by extraterrestrials. However, such intentionally ambiguous results from studies conducted over the years often do little to satisfy public interest, and function more like a Rorschach test: those who want UFOs to be extraterrestrial visitors see that the possibility hasn’t been ruled out, while skeptics averse to the idea remind them that there is still no good evidence.
There’s nothing new under the sun, or so the saying goes. Hence, rather than making actual progress on the UFO issue, it appears that most of the same old assessments and presumptions that have remained with us for decades about this phenomenon are what endure today. We’re still left wondering, in the end, what they are, and even if they are, with very little advancement in our knowledge about these mystifying appearances of unusual aerial objects throughout time.
