Last year, NASA announced that it would convene a team of selected experts across many professions, all at the peak of their fields, to figure out a roadmap for a topic the agency has traditionally avoided: UAP, shorthand for “unidentified anomalous phenomena.”
UAP has become the official government parlance for UFOs, and NASA wanted to know what to make of the several dozens of UAPs reported by military personnel yet without an explanation. But to know what to make of it, analysts need to know what to look for in the first place.
In a public meeting on May 31, team members announced that a full report from the 16-person team — encompassing, among others, astrobiologists, cosmologists, and even a former astronaut — would be forthcoming in July. The report will place all their various recommendations for the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) on how to solve these cases going forward.
Weather balloons are frequent triggers for UAP sightings, according to the Pentagon.

Paula Bontempi, an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island and former acting deputy director of Earth science at NASA, is one of those team members. She tells Inverse she was initially surprised by the invitation.
Inverse spoke with Bontempi about the ocean’s role in our study of the cosmos, how to decide what’s normal, and Earth’s climatic “cholesterol.”
Inverse: How were you approached to be part of the UAP Independent Study team?
Bontempi: One day I got an email invitation. And I thought, do they really mean me? At the time, [UAP] was defined as “unidentified aerial phenomena” and then the National Defense Authorization Act redefined the “A” from “aerial” to “anomalous.” And that [new word] was to be all-inclusive in maybe reporting underwater [UAP] as well as in space; it wasn’t just Earth’s atmosphere where UAPs have been reported.
I reached back out to Dan Evans, who was the NASA official in charge of the independent study team. And I had a chat with him, and they wanted me to participate as an oceanographer and as an Earth scientist who had a career at NASA. So, it seemed like a really exciting opportunity.The really cool thing was I probably never would have interacted with that group of people and expertise prior to this. That was one of the advantages of the study team, which all came from just a huge range of backgrounds.
How often do you meet?
Everything to this point has been sort of preliminary, but we have had a few briefings and meetings. But this was our first real deliberative meeting. It was nice to do that fully publicly. And I appreciate very much that NASA has been completely open and transparent about the process.
What will happen between now and later this summer when the report from the group is ready?
We will take the deliberations and the discussions, and we turn that into a report. That report will be publicly released sometime in the middle of summer — hopefully in July 2023. That will all be open and transparent and publicly available.
When you introduced yourself, you said you study how light interacts with the ocean’s surface. Why is this important as a scientist to investigate? Could this knowledge help the team or the AARO understand the anomalous UAPs?
In optical oceanography, in general, we study the propagation of light — electromagnetic radiation from the Sun — through the atmosphere and then through the air-sea interface.
Think about it: if you’ve ever been diving into a swimming pool or swimming underwater, and you open your eyes. The further down you go, the darker it gets.

Sometimes you can even see the interplay of the light with stuff that’s in the water. It’s almost like seeing the rays of the Sun penetrating the ocean.
Using satellites, we can detect sunlight in the upper layer of the ocean. We can also tell what's in the ocean from satellites. Which is kind of mind-blowing, if you think about it, right? We can tell what’s living from what’s dead. Sometimes we can tell what types of algae or other organisms are in the ocean.
NASA is continually developing new technologies and approaches to actually detail that information about our Earth system better. NASA explores the furthest reaches of the universe, and also the deepest depths of what’s happening on our planet. That’s very exciting.
The UAP [team] could actually use that information. We aren’t a research panel, we are just trying to figure out what is a UAP, and can NASA data and technology be used to understand this.
Data is the key to the explanation. For instance, it could be optical illusions, where you’re like “Oh my God, what was that? What was that I just saw?” And you know, what you see in that split second that you think you see something can really fool you into thinking something was real.
That doesn’t mean somebody didn’t report that as a UAP, and maybe we have the data to explain that, and maybe not. But that was what the May 31 panel was about: Can we gather more data? What data should we be gathering to actually look at some of these reported events?
Are you ever struck by the oddities of the ocean, and how much we don’t know?
Yes I am. All the time. We’ve explored more of the surface of the Moon than we have of the deepest depths of our ocean. The ocean covers 71 percent of Earth’s surface, and it’s 96 percent of the available living space on the planet. We’re discovering new species and new things on our home planet all the time.
One of the interesting things is there are initiatives at NASA called Oceans Across the Solar System. It asks, could Earth be an analog if and when we discover oceans or remnants of oceans on other worlds? Will we have learned enough about our planet and will studying those other worlds and the potential oceans there lead us to understand more information about our home planet? So it’s really an interesting field to think about, but yes, our oceans are a big mystery in many ways still.
You spent a lot of your career addressing the climate crisis. From the UAP NASA team’s public meeting on May 31, I took away that the scientific method is the answer to solving the UAP unsolved mysteries, but also something many people in the public don’t often think about. If they are convinced that alien life is causing UAP, they’ll stick to their beliefs; and if someone sees UAP news as sensationalized events, they won’t engage with it at all.
What does your experience tell you about how the public engages with the scientific method? Especially in the context of climate deniers, who don’t acknowledge the climate has gotten warmer due to human activity.
The way I like to explain this to people, and this is relevant to UAP as well, is, how do we get information about what’s normal?
The example I like to use is that it’s like going to the doctor and getting your cholesterol checked every year. If you just went one time you might know where you stand at that moment in time or that year. But if you go every year, you create a time series of information.
We do the same thing with gathering data about Earth. And if you show a plot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the major greenhouse gas, or you show the warming of the Earth itself and it’s going up, and in the last 10 years we’ve had the majority of our warmest years ever. If your cholesterol looked like that, you would be like, “Oh my God, I have to do something about my health.”
Well, that's what the Earth is showing us. Yet we’re still denying that our cholesterol is going up. We have a crisis, and it’s not pending, it’s here. So the same thing with UAP. Gathering enough data to know what’s normal so we can actually understand what is anomalous in our data. That is what NASA and scientific integrity is about.

A new viral video details the efforts that NASA is making to find out whether we are alone in the universe.
In the video, which at the time of writing has been viewed almost 1.8 million times, NASA astrobiologist at the Goddard Space Flight Center Heather Graham explained what actions the space agency is taking to hunt for the signs of alien life.
The video is hosted by Australian YouTuber AstroKobi, also known as Kobi Brown, who explains in the video that the NASA astrobiology program is currently working to address three fundamental questions: How does life begin and evolve? Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? And how do we best search for life in the universe?
Graham says to even begin considering these questions, scientists must first understand what life actually is, with Brown explaining that life isn't just creatures like humans, but can include a range of radically different organisms.
"Everywhere we go on this planet, we see life, down at the very bottom of the ocean in the deepest sediments, encased in ice, and at the top of dry mountaintops," Graham said in the video. "We don't actually know yet how life on this planet began, and it's really a hard and tricky problem to get at because the Earth has looked wildly different over its history."
This means, she added, that "rolling back clock" on Earth means considering environments that are now very foreign to us, with the fossil record providing examples of organisms that were, at one time, best suited to these different environments. That means when NASA is considering how life began, it has to think about how any life could begin.
"When we start to look at life this way and realize that life is this grand conversation happening with its environment, it makes it easier for us to imagine that on other planets, they also have rich histories, and they also may have been many planets over the course of their lifetime," Graham said. " And even more significant, this means that they may have also been able to accommodate many different types of life."
As Graham pointed out, however, the fact that water is essential for all life as we understand it, as is energy from a star or another source and an environment that promotes the chemistry unique to life, narrows the search down somewhat.
Small lifeforms would be a big deal
The main type of life that NASA concentrates on in the solar system is microscopic life forms or microorganisms. Though a world away from little green men crashing spacecraft into backyards in rural America as is often envisioned, Graham explains that the discovery of microbes on another world would be of tremendous importance. And given the history of our own world, hunting for microbes as a form of alien life makes complete sense.
"We have to remember that the majority of our history has been microbial. Microbes were in charge of our planet for some three billion years before bigger organisms even showed up. If you think about the grand history of the Earth, it was a micro world for 70% of its existence," Brown explains. "If we find a microbe, it means we found a planetary chemistry that discovered how to build life. Yeah, maybe we wouldn't be able to talk to it, but at least we would know that we aren't alone and life isn't a one-off occurrence."
Currently, one of the most intense searches for microbial life is underway on Mars, where the robotic rovers Curiosity and Perseverance are exploring regions that billions of years ago overflowed with abundant water in stark contrast to the barren and arid planet seen today. It is hoped that the rocks of these fossilized waterways of Mars could contain within them traces of ancient microbial life.
"A great example of a mission that's using chemical biosignatures is the Curiosity Rover on Mars," Graham said. "On that rover is an instrument called SAM [Sample Analysis at Mars], and it's basically an entire chemistry lab stuffed down into something about the size of a big microwave oven. Right now, on the surface of Mars, it's taking rock and pulling out organic molecules that we think might be possible chemical biosignatures."
The astrobiologist also pointed out that scientists from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are hard at work devising a Mars sample return mission that will pick up tubes dropped on the Martian surface by Perseverance and return them to Earth for analysis.
And Mars isn't the only place where NASA is collecting samples.
"We are all madly working to get ready for the return of Bennu, the asteroid sample that's coming to us from OSIRIS-REx in September of this year," Graham said.
Understanding asteroid samples is important because these space rocks are believed to have formed from the material that also birthed the planets. Unlike samples of asteroids that break away and land on Earth as meteorites, the samples returned by missions like OSIRIS-REx will be protected from the effects of entering Earth's atmosphere at high speeds, thus offering a more "pristine" look at the matter that formed our planet. This could also reveal potential organic molecules essential to life, implicating that these molecules could have been delivered to our planet in its infancy by space-rock impacts.
Some moons orbiting other planets of the solar system are also of particular interest to NASA in its ongoing search for life beyond Earth. Ocean worlds like Enceladus, the sixth-largest moon of Saturn, and Europa, a moon of Jupiter, are especially enticing targets.
"A mission coming up that I'm really excited about is the Europa Clipper launching next year. When we get better imagery [of Europa] we'll be able to better understand if it's a geologically active world," Graham said. "Previous missions suggest that at the bottom of Europa's oceans, there could be hydrothermal vents or openings in the sea floor."
She added that these openings heat water and could fuel life beneath the icy shell of Europa, an ecosystem that sunlight struggles to reach. "On Earth, we see those same hydrothermal vent systems on our own sea floor as an oasis for life fueled by chemical energy," the astrobiologist continued.
Graham also highlighted the potential of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to hunt for traces of life beyond the solar system. The grand telescope can detect biosignatures around extrasolar planets or "exoplanets" that indicate something in the atmosphere of these worlds orbiting other stars is using energy in that environment.
"We may not know yet how life began on this planet, but we've learned how varied life is, and given time, how little it needs to rise," Brown concludes. "We also got a glimpse into some of the tools for how to detect it, and we found a possibility that life could have arisen beyond Earth and is somewhere hidden in the universe yet to be discovered. But my key takeaway is that today, we live in a world that is extraordinary and full of possibilities."

Another historic extraterrestrial event has happened in the United States that will be debated in the UFO community until the truth comes out. On May 1, 2023, an object in the sky was noticed by several people in eastern California, Nevada, and Utah, which was later reported to be crashed including the alleged sighting of peculiar creatures in a residential backyard.
The incident shares similarities with other extraordinary cases from around the world, involving crashes, encounters with strange beings, and puzzling elements that defy explanation. Such stories can be easily called hoaxes, as happened with the Las Vegas crash. But independent investigative journalist and former police officer Doug Poppa shed light on his involvement in the case and provided additional information about the crash incident, according to which it is not a hoax.
Crash Incident
Both the police and news investigators took the incident seriously from the outset. Just before midnight on April 30, 2023, numerous skywatchers across multiple Western States observed a bright fireball streaking across the heavens. Around the same time, a police officer captured footage of the colorful object on his body camera, and a nearby ring camera recorded an unusual sound resembling a crash.

On May 1, 2023, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a distressing call from a terrified family. In a ranch-style home close to the crash site, a family, consisting of two brothers and their father, was engaged in vehicle repairs in their yard. Suddenly, they caught sight of a sparkling object hurtling toward the ground, followed by what they described as a shockwave.
Witness Account
One of the witnesses, a 16-year-old teenager named “Angel,” reported that the area where the object landed appeared obscured and blurry, almost as if concealed by an unknown form of camouflage. Their curiosity led them to peer into the yard, where they were confronted by a sight that prompted them to urgently contact emergency services. They described the creatures as large, measuring between 9 and 10 feet tall, with notable features such as big eyes and shiny, non-human mouths. Angel emphasized their alien-like appearance, unable to find adequate words to describe them.
Angel presents video evidence from police body cameras and a nearby ring camera, providing glimpses of the incident. The footage, albeit blurry, captures the intensity of the event and supports Angel’s account. He highlights specific moments in the videos where the creature is barely discernible but clearly present, further validating his claims.
Describing the creature in detail, Angel recollects its tall and slender frame, sporting a gray-greenish hue. When he locked eyes with it, his body froze, reminiscent of sleep paralysis experiences. The creature had distinctive features, including peculiar feet, a large face with eyes, and a sizeable mouth. Angel recalls the creature’s loud, deep breathing, which resonated with his entire being.
Overcoming the temporary paralysis, Angel sprinted toward the safety of his house, urgently dialing 911 to report the unearthly encounter. The 911 call records his distress and desperation, as he tries to convey the presence of two enormous, non-human entities in his backyard. Meanwhile, a cacophony of footsteps and whispered voices echoed in the background, further amplifying the sense of unease.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (Metro Police) initially contemplated sending a crisis intervention team to assist the shaken witness. However, upon receiving further information from other officers, they treated the incident seriously. Two officers arrived at the scene 38 minutes after the distress call, exercising caution and even managing nervous laughter.
The officers ventured into the backyard, discovering a perfectly formed circular impression on the ground, mysterious aftermath of the encounter.
Several days later, two Metro sergeants returned to the location to conduct follow-up inquiries. The family also claimed to have observed individuals in suits and sunglasses driving a government-plated car slowly past their house. However, Nellis and Creech, nearby military installations, denied any involvement or interest in the incident.
As the officers conducted their investigation, one of them expressed his own astonishment, stating that his partner had witnessed a similar light falling from the sky. This newfound validation encouraged the officers to take the situation seriously, engaging in further inquiries and canvassing the neighborhood for additional witness accounts.
Remarkably, before departing, one officer advised Angel that if he ever encountered the creatures again, he should refrain from contacting the police and instead protect himself by any means necessary. This chilling advice underscores the gravity of the situation and the officers’ own apprehension.
With the police’s departure, Angel and his family retreated indoors, seeking solace in prayer. However, their respite was abruptly shattered when an unnerving, human-like scream pierced the night from the backyard. The harrowing experience left the family shaken, questioning the nature of the events that unfolded before them.
Las Vegas Story is Not Hoax
Doug Poppa has been closely following the story of the mysterious object falling from the sky and the subsequent claims of encounters with aliens in a Las Vegas backyard. He was the first person to interview the family involved in the incident. Poppa conducted an interview with the family who made the initial call to the police, and they informed him that the law enforcement authorities installed surveillance cameras outside their home to protect them from UFO enthusiasts.
Note:
Poppa is an independent investigative journalist. He has authored more than 160 articles on the 2017 Las Vegas Massacre that were published by the Baltimore Post-Examiner. He is a former NYPD Auxiliary Police Officer, U.S. Army Military Police veteran, and former law enforcement officer. In 1986, he was the LCSO Criminal Investigator of the Year. He served 18 years in the Las Vegas hotel-casino industry as an investigator and Director of Security and Surveillance and worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
While Poppa remains somewhat skeptical about the incident, he acknowledges that the family appears to be credible. In his tweet, he sarcastically questioned the Las Vegas Metro Police Department’s disbelief in the video camera surveillance system he recorded at the residence, emphasizing the extensive measures taken by the Technical and Surveillance Squad.
According to local TV channel 8 News Now, an officer’s camera captured the object at around 11:50 PM local time, following a report from a resident about a non-human presence on their property. In an audio recording obtained by the TV channel, the homeowner described an eight-foot figure and another entity with big eyes inside their house, emphasizing that the beings were still present.
Poppa expressed his surprise at the police installing expensive video equipment to respond to a UFO report, stating that it is unusual for law enforcement to take such measures in such cases. His doubts and observations contribute to the ongoing intrigue surrounding the incident, raising questions about the authenticity and nature of the reported encounters.
During one of the interviews, Doug Poppa observed a peculiar occurrence. While interviewing Angel, the teenager who recorded YouTube videos about the incident, there was a mysterious female voice on the phone with Angel, instructing him to obtain Doug Poppa’s license plate. This strange interaction added an intriguing element to the investigation.
In an interview with News Nation on June 15, 2023, Poppa confirms that he recently spoke with the family and shared his experience with them. He mentions that Angel has been facing intense scrutiny and backlash on social media. The family, being Hispanic, has also received threats and derogatory comments. Poppa expresses his disappointment and highlights the need for respect and understanding.
Poppa emphasizes that three members of the family, including Angel, his brother, and their father, witnessed the strange creatures. He points out that during his interactions with the family, their accounts remained consistent, which he finds significant in assessing their credibility. As an experienced investigator with 40 years of experience, Doug Poppa made efforts to gauge the authenticity of their claims but found no reason to doubt their story.
Regarding evidence, Doug Poppa mentions that Angel posted a video on his YouTube channel, but many people have criticized and analyzed it extensively. He notes that the Baltimore Post-Examiner was the first to publish a photo of the impression left in the soil, which Angel captured on the night of the incident. Additionally, Poppa obtained a photograph from Angel showing two sergeants from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department who allegedly returned to speak with the family a few days after the initial incident.
Doug Poppa also discusses the installation of surveillance cameras on the family’s roof. These cameras were reportedly installed by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homeland Security division for the family’s protection. However, Poppa finds it peculiar that the cameras had been removed a few days before he returned to the residence on May 27th.
Poppa highlights the ongoing investigation and the need for further verification of certain aspects, such as the location of the ring camera mentioned in social media posts. He expresses his commitment to continuing his investigation into the incident and implies that there is more to uncover.
To be noted:
According to NASA’s planetary defense officer Lindley Johnson, the green fireball observed in Las Vegas last month was most likely a bright meteor less than a meter in size and not a UFO that fell in anyone’s backyard. Johnson clarified that the object was high in the atmosphere and hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas when it was spotted, so nothing from the meteor landed in anyone’s backyard. He explained that NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) captures reports for objects estimated to exceed 1 meter in size based on the observed energy released. Therefore, smaller objects like the green fireball may not be included in NASA’s records.(Source)
The most common and yet interesting question that many people ask is: Are we alone in this universe? The answer has taken a great turn from “Maybe yes” to “Maybe no” in the past few years. There is a long list of credible personalities who never denied the presence of non-human intelligent life among us. Moreover, a few of them are certain that aliens are on Earth. American billionaire Robert Bigelow said something shocking about aliens in November 2017.
According to Robert Bigelow, famous in the aerospace industry for the manufacture of inflatable modules such as those tested out at the International Space Station, there are extraterrestrial beings living among humans. He said that he is “absolutely convinced” aliens live among humans on Earth. During the interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, reporter Lara Logan asked Bigelow if he believes in aliens. He replied: “I’m absolutely convinced. That’s all there is to it.” He further said: “There has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence.”
He continued: “I spent millions and millions and millions – I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.” “You don’t have to go anywhere” to find aliens and they are here right in front of people. Bigelow had his own close encounters but declined to go into detail.
When award-winning journalist George Knapp asked his comment on this interview, he said: “There are different ways to go at this. So one is from a hardware standpoint. The other one is from the presence standpoint, ET presence. And, you know, a lot of people say, well, whether they’re, you know, that they can be among the population, whether they’re hybrids, or there’s some other kind of, really look alike, you know, kind of thing. But so, so you can look at it in different kinds of ways. And, and so, I know of a really good high quality researcher who has fantastic academic credentials and background. And he would be predisposed to the latter, saying that, yeah, it could be among us, you know, but he’s probably on the more extreme, he’s definitely on the more extreme. Others would say, well, we’re safe in saying that there’s hardware, you know, so that’s among us, and hardware kind of context.” (Source)
Skinwalker Ranch, a property located in northeastern Utah has been the subject of alleged paranormal activity, including UFO sightings and other strange occurrences. The ranch gained notoriety in the 1990s when it was purchased by Mr. Bigelow, who funded a number of studies of the phenomena reported at the ranch.
However, the specifics of what has been reported at the ranch and the credibility of those reports have been the subject of much debate and skepticism. Some people believe that the ranch is a hotspot for extraterrestrial activity, while others believe that the reports of strange occurrences at the ranch are the result of hoaxes or misidentifications of natural phenomena.

Following his interview with Mr. Bigelow, Knapp then asked if the entities at Skinwalker Ranch would be investigated through the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (which he founded in 2020 after his wife passed away). Besides, he wondered that if they are among us, can they also be considered alien? Bigelow said: “Well, if you if you follow the literature and pay attention to a lot of other kinds of sources, they absolutely are.”
Further, Mr. Bigelow shared his personal experiences and losses that prompted his interest in life after death, as well as UFOs. He talked about possible links between consciousness research and UFOs. He also talked about the risks of trying to establish communications with the unknown.
“That’s been mainly what I’ve been doing except for the skinwalker ranch thing for 20 years as the space world has been huge in my life to pursue the legitimate parochial kind of you know using fire engines rockets to get you there. We didn’t expect anything like this to happen and so there this is different. This is the holy grail and is different than the second holy grail. If the second one is ‘Beings’ (E.T.), then the first one: Is there any part of your consciousness that survives your bodily death? That’s a big deal. That’s a huge story. That’s gigantic.”
“Be a little careful about what you wish for. So on the face of it, communication sounds great and that by the way has been tried forever ever since the oracle of Delphi. I mean you can go back thousands of years and that’s been attempted. So It’s not now you know the last 100 years through electronics and using some kind of electrical apparatus to try to have some kind of communications. And you know communication can be at all different kinds of levels. There might be communication that just causes you an awareness.”
Then Knapp asked him what triggered his curiosity about UFOs, possibly it was after Bob Lazar’s story came out. Mr. Bigelow replied that he was already into UFO research. He was looking at UFO stories worldwide to understand what they actually were.
In 1992, he started the Bigelow Foundation with Bob Lazar, who worked on reverse-engineering recovered extraterrestrial craft at Area-51. Mr. Bigelow also backed Dr. John E. Mack, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard who wrote two popular books about his work with people who told him they had been abducted by aliens, and Budd Hopkins, an artist who became an abduction investigator and also wrote popular books.
Mr. Bigelow’s investigative team, headed by Colm Kelleher, the institute’s scientific administrator and biochemist, documented their own paranormal events, according to a 2005 book “Hunt for the Skinwalker,” by Dr. Kelleher and Mr. Knapp.
Mr. Bigelow said he saw “interdimensional” forces at play through portals at certain paranormal hot spots like Skinwalker. But he also said he had frequently visited the ranch without experiencing the kind of chilling events others reported, as if some intelligence were selecting the people to act upon. “I slept like a log every single night,” he said. And no human was physically harmed, but he said he and other visitors often carried strange things home, like a sulfurous stink in a certain part of his house. His wife felt the presence of a faceless creature pressing down on her side of bed. (Source)
Bigelow amassed his fortune through the hotel chain Budget Suites of America and used this money to fund his UFO study. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said that UFOs are “under our noses” and wondered why news organizations had not extensively covered UFO sightings.
In 2008, Mr. Bigelow secretly created BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies) to study the UFO mystery and related phenomena. The public did not know that he had signed a contract with the Defense Intelligence Agency to do an investigation under the AAWSAP program.
His political influence has been strong when it comes to UFO study. He once convinced his friend and then-Democratic U.S. Sen. Harry Reid to allocate $22 million to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which investigated UFO reports from 2007 to 2012. The majority of the funds were sent to Bigelow’s company to investigate, and the allocation was not made public until a 2017 New York Times investigation. The Pentagon stated that the program was terminated in 2012, although Reid later stated that he had no remorse about the expenditure.
Later, he and his team hired dozens of investigators, scientists, and support staff to work on putting together a huge database of original investigations and UFO files from other countries. The now-famous 2004 Tic Tac encounter off the coast of Southern California was one of the cases that BAASS looked into.

Unraveling the Tower of Babel: Myth or Reality? (Video)
Unraveling the Tower of Babel: Myth or Reality? (Video)
The ancient ruins of Babylon, located in central Iraq, have long captivated historians and archeologists alike. Among its remnants lies a structure that has stirred intrigue and speculation—the Etemenanki ziggurat, believed by some to be the legendary Tower of Babel . With its colossal size, estimated to have reached a towering height of nearly 300 feet, this ancient edifice stands as a testament to the grandeur and ambition of the Babylonian Empire.
The biblical account of the Tower of Babel portrays a tale of human unity, divine intervention, and the consequences of defying higher powers. Scholars draw parallels between the ziggurat and the Tower, noting the shared location and remarkable similarities in construction materials. The presence of bitumen-infused bricks, as described in biblical texts, adds weight to these connections. Yet, the story does not end there. The question remains: Was the Tower of Babel destroyed by a mighty wind summoned by an angered deity, or was it brought down by the forces of nature, such as a powerful earthquake?

He's Exposing the UFO Secret Space Program! - Interview With Dr. Michael Salla - Redacted News
The Secret Space program has existed for decades according to military whistleblowers. The details of the program are stunning including bases on the moon, under the ocean, and a massive city underneath Antartica to name a few. Dr. Michael Salla is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject and he joins us for a wide ranging discussion on UFO disclosure, Space Arks, secret bases and so much more.
Gov’t SOFT LAUNCHING UFO Truth?! Leslie Kean Weighs In On Whistleblower Reporting On Rising
Gov’t SOFT LAUNCHING UFO Truth?! Leslie Kean Weighs In On Whistleblower Reporting On Rising
As the world becomes increasingly advanced and interconnected, the topic of Unidentified Flying Objects is emerging from the shadows of skepticism into the spotlight of mainstream discussion. With the evolution of our understanding, the phrase ‘UFO sightings‘ has evolved from being a topic of wild conjecture to a serious subject of scientific investigation.
Investigative journalist Leslie Kean, known for her steadfast reporting on UFO sightings and extraterrestrial phenomena, recently shed new light on this topic. The revelations, shared during her interview with a former intelligence official, have started an exciting discourse that might redefine our understanding of UFOs.
Shattering the Silence: Whistleblower Unveils Government Secrets
A startling revelation came from whistleblower David Grusch. He claimed that the United States has a task force retrieval program which allegedly possesses recovered non-human crafts. While the Department of Defense, represented by spokesperson Susan Go, has disputed these claims, this denial has not silenced the discussion surrounding UFO sightings.
Grusch’s assertions are further supported by Leslie Kean’s body of work, including her New York Times article from 2017. In this article, she revealed a secret Pentagon program dedicated to UFO investigations, affirming the government’s active interest in the study of UFO sightings.
The Intrigue of Non-Human Crafts
One of the most intriguing elements of this discussion is the alleged possession of “non-human origin vehicles”. Grusch stated that the U.S. has recovered a significant number of these vehicles, an assertion Kean has found serious enough to report.
However, both Kean and Grush have maintained that they are not claiming proof of extraterrestrial life. Rather, they underline the existence of vehicles of non-human origin and the vital distinction that it doesn’t necessarily mean they originate from extraterrestrial beings. The primary concern here is the propulsion of a more extensive investigation into the mystery of these crafts’ origins.
Beyond UFO Sightings: Encouraging Government Transparency
The existence of classified information within government institutions about UFO sightings is nothing new. However, Kean urges that transparency is key to a thorough understanding of these phenomena. The claims made by Grusch and Kean are not about proving the existence of aliens but rather about promoting comprehensive inquiry into UFO sightings.
The recent interest of the Appropriations Committee in holding hearings on this subject is a promising development. The hope is that such hearings will lead to a more open discussion, sparking public interest and possibly encouraging more whistleblowers to step forward.
Looking Towards the Future
With such discussions now entering mainstream discourse, the anticipation is palpable. As people become more aware of UFO sightings and government involvement, the way we perceive these phenomena is changing. And while we can’t predict what we will uncover next, the importance of ongoing investigation and openness cannot be overstated.
Exploring the mysteries of UFO sightings isn’t just about science fiction or conspiracy theories. It’s about our curiosity, our will to uncover the truth, and our ongoing journey to understand the universe we inhabit. These are exciting times for both believers and skeptics alike, as we all look to the skies with renewed interest and anticipation.
The destructive space rock was somewhere between 12.4 and 15.5 miles wide.

The largest asteroid ever to hit Earth, which slammed into the planet around 2 billion years ago, may have been even more massive than scientists previously thought. Based on the size of the Vredefort crater, the enormous impact scar left by the gargantuan space rock in what is now South Africa, researchers recently estimated that the epic impactor could have been around twice as wide as the asteroid that wiped out the nonavian dinosaurs.
The Vredefort crater, which is located around 75 miles (120 kilometers) southwest of Johannesburg, currently measures about 99 miles (159 km) in diameter, making it the biggest visible crater on Earth. However, it is smaller than the Chicxulub crater buried under Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, which measures around 112 miles (180 km) in diameter and was left by the dinosaur-killing asteroid that struck Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period about 66 million years ago.
But impact craters slowly erode over time, which makes them shrink. The most recent estimates suggest that the Vredefort crater was originally 155 to 174 miles (250 to 280 km) across when it was formed 2 billion years ago. As a result, the Vredefort crater is considered the largest impact crater on Earth despite being smaller than the Chicxulub crater today.
In the past, scientists thought the Vredefort crater was originally much smaller — around 107 miles (172 km) wide. Based on that estimate, researchers previously calculated that the asteroid responsible for the impact would have measured around 9.3 miles (15 km) across and collided at a speed of around 33,500 mph (53,900 km/h). But in a new study, scientists have revisited the crater's measurements and gained new insight into the size of the enormous space rock.
In the study, which was published online Aug. 8 in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, researchers recalculated the size of the Vredefort asteroid and found that the destructive space rock likely measured somewhere between 12.4 and 15.5 miles (20 and 25 km) across, and could have been traveling between 45,000 and 56,000 mph (72,000 and 90,000 km/h) when it struck our planet.
"Understanding the largest impact structure that we have on Earth is critical" because it allows researchers to build more accurate geological models, study lead author Natalie Allen, a doctoral candidate in the Johns Hopkins University Department of Physics and Astronomy in Baltimore, said in a statement. More accurate predictions of impactor sizes also could shed light on other craters on Earth and throughout the solar system, she added.
Size uncertainty
In the past, scientists have struggled to pin down the original size of the Vredefort crater due to its erosion over the past 2 billion years.
To understand how erosion affects ancient impact craters such as Vredefort, imagine continually slicing the rim off a bowl, Roger Gibson, a structural geologist at University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa who was not involved in the study, told NASA's Earth Observatory in 2018. "If you slice horizontally through the bowl progressively, you would see that the bowl's diameter will decrease with each slice you take off."
In addition to the natural erosion of the Vredefort impact structure, newer rock formations have emerged atop parts of the crater, the researchers wrote. As a result, most of the crater's original structure has been completely covered by younger rocks and only small sections of the crater's elevated rim are visible today, making it even harder to tell how big the crater used to be.
Today, large parts of the Vredefort crater are barely recognizable as an impact structure. (Image credit: Shutterstock)
However, other recent studies have estimated the Vredefort crater's size by focusing on minerals surrounding the crater. By doing this, scientists have spotted deformations and shock fractures in crystals, like quartz and zircon, that were caused by the ancient impact and thereby expand the known radius of the blast, the study authors wrote.
As a result, the researchers are confident that their new estimate for the size of the Vredefort asteroid is more accurate than previous estimates.
A cataclysmic impact
When the dinosaur-killing asteroid, which likely measured around 7.5 miles (12 km) wide, hit Earth around 66 million years ago, the destruction caused by the impact was immense. The Cretaceous-ending event caused widespread forest fires and acid rain; generated mile-high waves in a tsunami that reached halfway across the planet; and sent plumes of ash and dust into the atmosphere, drastically altering the climate. Around 75% of life on Earth was wiped out by the event, according to a study published in December 2021 in the journal Scientific Reports.
Based on the revised calculations of the Vredefort crater's original size, the new study suggests that the Vredefort asteroid was likely around twice as large as the dinosaur-killer. It also may have been traveling much faster, so its impact would have been even more severe — potentially the single largest energy-release event in Earth's history, the study authors reported. However, because the impact happened so long ago, there is scant evidence of the blast's ground-shaking power and the effects of the collision on the planet.
"Unlike the Chicxulub impact, the Vredefort impact did not leave a record of mass extinction or forest fires given that there were only single-cell lifeforms and no trees existed two billion years ago," study co-author Miki Nakajima, a planetary scientist at the University of Rochester in New York, said in the statement. "However, the impact would have affected the global climate potentially more extensively than the Chicxulub impact did."
Therefore, continuing to study Vredefort crater could be the only way researchers learn more about this cataclysmic impact.
Documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has stunned UFO enthusiasts with his piece of evidence on the phenomenon and information he received while studying UFOs. He is the one who shared the video footage showing the UFO as a transmedium vehicle. Additionally, he says that UFOs and aliens are just a small part of a larger reality along with other interesting and eye-opening statements in an extensive interview with Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal.
Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell is an American contemporary artist and investigative filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. He did extensive research on nanotechnology, aerospace exploration, and exotic propulsion systems, as well as an in-depth examination into the life and discoveries of the enigmatic “Godfather of Conspiracy” John Lear.
Corbell has documented the surgical removal of alleged off-world alien implants, and has filmed NASA’s analysis of anomalous materials alleged to be physical evidence of extraterrestrial nano-technology from UFO landing sites. He has obtained deathbed confessions from former CIA and government intelligence officials who claim to expose the truth about UFOs and the worldwide coverup of the ultimate truth.
Jeremy Corbell with former Pentagon UFO official Luis Elizondo.
Corbell released the film “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers” on Netflix, adding credibility to Lazar’s case. Moreover, his 2-hour interview with Curt Jaimungal discussed dozens of topics that added great information to the UAP/UFO phenomena. In 2021, he leaked a film of the US Navy photographed & filmed “spherical” shaped UFOs & advanced transmedium vehicles. In the footage shared by filmmaker and UFO enthusiast Jeremy Corbell, a flying object can be seen disappearing into the water off California.
In this interview, he covers a variety of controversial subjects including the release of the Tic-Tac videos by the government, possible government disinformation campaigns, and the claims of Bob Lazar that he once worked on backward engineering an alien craft.
UFOs and Aliens Just Small Part of ‘Larger Reality’
Corbell asserted in the interview that aliens and UFOs are a small part of a much larger reality of this mysterious and mind-boggling phenomenon.
He said:
“UFOs appear to be part of a larger phenomenon meaning UFOs are kind of an auxiliary implication of a much larger reality. So this idea that what we’re seeing are machines from other planets. I’m unconvinced what we may be seeing is an alternate reality. You know maybe it is something closer to dimensional travel.
There seems to be another version of reality that is occurring and that somehow once they pop through into our reality. And this is not just from a cursory look at the ufo phenomenon, this is from talking with thousands of close encounter eyewitnesses who tell me that this is something bigger than just flying machines.
To give you an example at Skinwalker Ranch. The report is that a piece of the sky opened up like a tear and out of this came “Beings” came “Craft.” So, UFOs is a symptom, it’s part of this alternate reality, The phenomenon as I call it. But it’s not just about UFOs represent this phenomenon.
I know this to be true that Skinwalker ranch is the best example of this because you have UFO phenomena. But you also have cattle mutilation which is often associated with lights in the sky. So, cattle mutilation is something a concrete example.
Cattle mutilation, Is this a UFO phenomenon or a government experiment, or is this a private corporation that’s going around mutilating these cows and draining their blood in the dead of the night? Nobody has ever been caught during these cattle mutilations.
They are the same across the board. They’re drained of blood. The farmers and people that are cattle ranchers see UFOs oftentimes during these mutilations so I can’t separate them.”
American billionaire Robert Bigelow shared his personal experiences and losses that prompted his interest in life after death, as well as UFOs. He talked about possible links between consciousness research and UFOs. He also talked about the risks of trying to establish communications with the unknown.
“That’s been mainly what I’ve been doing except for the skinwalker ranch thing for 20 years as the space world has been huge in my life to pursue the legitimate parochial kind of you know using fire engines rockets to get you there. We didn’t expect anything like this to happen and so there this is different. This is the holy grail and is different than the second holy grail. If the second one is ‘Beings’ (E.T.), then the first one: Is there any part of your consciousness that survives your bodily death? That’s a big deal. That’s a huge story. That’s gigantic.”
Dr. Travis Taylor’s Statement On Skinwalker Ranch
Dr. Taylor joined businessman Brandon Fugals’s team at Fugals’s infamous Skinwalker ranch three years ago and firmly believed he would be able to resolve the ranch’s assorted mysteries in short order. But the longer he stayed, the stranger things became. In his interview with investigative journalist George Knapp, he said: “You know, I had never seen a UFO until I got out there. Now, I have seen more UFOs now than you can count.” (Source)
In the surprisingly candid and wide-ranging interview, Dr. Taylor shared his opinions about the role of science in the pursuit of the unknown, his personal experiences with strange phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch, the physical effects of close encounter cases, and the mysterious “hitchhiker effect” that multiple UFO/paranormal eyewitnesses have reported.
In his opinion, this unexplained phenomenon can be different for people in regards to their brain activity. Hypothetically speaking, he said that the phenomenon can be connected with different planes in the universe. He added that he could go along with the idea of a portal but was not sure. He believes it is bizarre but there is some truth to it.
Incredibly Bright Saucer Shaped UFO Filmed Flying Over The Tree Cover Of Córdoba in Argentina
This brightly lit UFO was filmed in Río Cuarto, Córdoba a city in Argentina on June 10, 2023. In the footage we can see this object glide over the heads of the witnesses and keep flying above the the tree tops until it is out of sight. With no engine noise or any Nav lights and just the odd shape, this doesn't look like a plane or helicopter.
Too Many UFO Sightings ?!- What Is Going On?!
David Grusch, a former intelligence official is allegedly leaking top-secret information that claims the US has "intact and partially intact" alien vehicles. He declared, and we quote, “The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone. Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.” Mr. Grusch further disclosed that information on these automobiles was being illegally suppressed from Congress. Will the common people ever learn the answers, though? Or will we constantly be left to speculate? Watch till the end to find out!

Paul Seaburn
A roundup of mysterious, paranormal and strange news stories from the past week.
The National UFO Reporting Center reports that witnesses watched as two F-16 military jets engaged in a “dogfight” with an “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon”over Bad Axe. Michigan, early in June this month – they said the white/metallic disc that they engaged with was difficult to see because of sunlight reflecting off the object but it was “extremely fast” and “capable of overtaking and outmaneuvering the fighter jets with extreme ease” as the jets fired at the spinning object three times before flying away and leaving the UAP, which eventually appeared to fly off over Lake Huron. That ringing in your ears is the rising sound of UAP whistleblowers.
A new study by the University of Nottingham and published in The Astrophysical Journal calculates that there could be over 30 active communicating intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy based on the Astrobiological Copernican Limit which assumes that it takes 5 billion years for intelligent life to form on planets like Earth orbiting around a metal-rich star like our Sun, but we haven’t heard from any because they are too far away. While we all want to believe, sometimes these studies resemble scientists throwing stuff against a cosmic wall and publishing what sticks.
Using data collected by NASA’s Cassini mission from 2004 to 2017, when it flew through a plume of gas emitted near the moon’s south pole, an international team of scientists discovered a rich array of minerals and organic compounds including phosphorus and other ingredients for the amino acids associated with life as we know it. What we really need to worry about is life as we DON’T know it.
In Carnac, France, 39 standing stones or menhirs that historians believe were erected by prehistoric humans 7,000 years ago were destroyed after the town’s mayor approved a building permit for a DIY store – the mayor claimed the stones, which stood 20 to 40 inches, had "low archaeological value" even though they were thought to have had a sacred and funereal function and were a popular pre-historic tourist attraction. Sounds like this mayor may soon have a low re-election value.
The mystery of the UFO that was picked up by police video cameras and appeared to land in a backyard in Las Vegas in May and the 10-foot aliens reportedly seen by a family after it occurred got more mysterious after an investigator who found the family’s testimony credible reported that the Homeland Security department of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) installed video surveillance cameras outside the home after the incident – the family swears the tall, gray, greenish beings were real and is now in hiding because of all the publicity. This story is not going away anytime soon so get ready for showgirls dressed as aliens and extraterrestrial pancakes at the buffets.
Alison Gunn Robson brought a battered ventriloquist dummy made in 1898 to hosts of the BBC One show The Repair Shop in hopes that they could repair the damage and get the inner mechanics working again and she loved the job they did … but viewers of the show were upset because the dummy creeped out some of them while others were surprised it didn’t attack the repair guys while they were asleep. Look for it to appear on a new competition show just for dummies called “A Mannequin’s Got Talent.”
After a drone flying over a field in Bolivia captured an image of farmers claimed was a Chupacabra which has been killing their llamas, cows and other livestock, residents of the southern Guatemalan town of Chimaltenango reported their own Chupacabra encounters when they found around 75 dead chickens, ducks and turkeys in a 25-mile radius – the birds appeared to have been attacked from behind and had their blood drained from their bodies. If only someone could convince Chupacabras of the benefits of a vegan diet.
Avi Loeb, the Harvard professor of astronomy who can’t stop talking about UFOs and aliens, says he believes extraterrestrials will send AI drones to Earth rather than spaceships with alien crews, and those AI drones will be attracted to their own kind and make their first contact with our own artificial intelligence machines – which he says is “a bit scary to think about.” Maybe not … one conversation with ChatGPT and alien AI could decide this planet is hopeless and leave us alone.
In a recent email, Elon Musk, who hasn’t been able to successfully launch the rocket that he’s building to go to Mars, mention in a Twitter conversation that he’s already looking at visiting the exoplanet Promixa Centauri B, which is a little over four light-years away orbiting Alpha Centauri, saying it is “Practically next door." Don’t accept a job from this man selling windows door-to-door.
Researchers at a site in the Polish town of Mamerski where the German Army Supreme Command was headquartered during World War II took advantage of a deforestation project and explored a new area where they found wagon wheels and a set of railway tracks, leading them to believe this could be the infamous Nazi gold train long rumored to be carrying treasures and the gold and amber paneling stolen from the Amber Room of a Russian palace and hidden at the end of WWII. Let’s hope they find enough treasure to pay for all of the lawyers they’ll need to figure out who it belongs to.
At a funeral in Ecuador, mourners thought they heard knocking, so they opened the casket and found that 76-year-old Bella Montoy was still alive, even though a hospital doctor had declared her dead following a suspected stroke – Bella was rushed to a hospital where, as of this writing, she is still alive and recovering from the ordeal in intensive care. Nothing shocks your heart back to life like finding out the ambulance is taking you back to the same doctor who declared you dead.
Prabal Saxena, a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center, says there is a good chance the Artemis III astronauts who land on the moon in 2025 will find microbial life in a crater at the lunar south pole and those microbes will look familiar because they probably came from Earth on a lunar lander and are able to survive in the extreme conditions by consuming lunar ice. If they are tardigrades, the astronauts better home they haven’t mutated into giant sand water bears.
David Grusch, the combat veteran and former intelligence officer who turned Pentagon whistleblower and claims the US has run a top secret UFO retrieval program for decades, now says some of the 'non-human intelligences' who have come to Earth are discovered are nasty being who have killed humans – the evidence comes from classified nuclear site probing activities and witness testimonies, and the U.S. government will do anything to protect these secrets - including killing whistleblowers like himself. What happened to all the nice aliens like Mork from Ork?
Roadworkers digging in the village of Luzino in northeast Poland were shocked when they uncovered a massive grave site with the skeletal remains of 450 people who had been decapitated with their skulls placed between their legs, bricks placed on their bodies, buried in unusual positions, or with coins in their mouths – all signs that they were suspected of being vampires. Wouldn’t it have been easier just to surround the cemetery with a garlic farm?
They may be called crop “circles” but one which appeared recently in a field in Roundway Down in Wiltshire, England, is getting special attention because it is an intricate labyrinth of geometric shapes and designs combining the usual circles with elaborate geometric shapes that could signify complex mathematical formulas or astronomical principles. Is this a sign that math majors at Oxford can’t get jobs and are resorting to making crop circles?
What some are calling the world's first manned flying saucer made its first crewed flight over a lake in Shenzhen, China, with one person on board – the electric aircraft is powered by six fans with twelve blades, has “triple safety redundancy” in its power supplies, motors and flight control, and is said to be able to takeoff and touch down on both land and water. Its fans are loud enough to drown out the laughter of extraterrestrials watching it.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has issued a water scarcity alert for parts of Scotland, including Inverness and the Locvh Ness area, following a prolonged period of dry weather which has emptied Loch Ness to its lowest levels since 1990 – with the drought conditions showing no signs of abating, many people are flocking to Inverness hoping that the loch will dry up and expose the Loch Ness monster. The water level at the loch is currently classified as "low" … so are the spirits of Nessie.
The Qualia Research Institute (QRI), a California-based nonprofit group that researches consciousness, held a competition focused on “Psychedelic Cryptography” and awarded cash prizes to artists who made videos encoded with hidden messages that are designed to be visible only to people tripping on psychedelic substances, such as LSD, ayahuasca, or psilocybin mushrooms. They’re probably swamped with applications to be a judge in the next competition.
German researchers Sophie Jentzsch and Kristian Kersting published a new paper examining the ability of OpenAI's ChatGPT-3.5 to understand and generate humor – they discovered that ChatGPT 's knowledge of comedy is so bad that it kept generating the same 25 jokes over and over, and most of the jokes were worse than those found in joke books. Put this ChatGPT-3.5 in a comedian robot and it would probably ask you to pull its mechanical finger.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is an unexplainable scourge for many people, but a gastroenterologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles thinks the cause may be that the bodies of sufferers are unable to manage gravity, causing their diaphragm to move down and compress their intestines, causing elimination issues and bacterial overgrowth. If gravity is the problem, is space travel the cure?
According to a new study which looked at the availability of caves to hide in, water supplies, military bases, food supplies and hospitals, the five best states for surviving an alien invasion are Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho and Nebraska, while the five worst states are Virginia, Georgia, Massachusetts, New York and Louisiana. The five worst states could change their ranking by building giant arrows, visible from space, pointing to Nevada and Arizona.
A team of researchers at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) unveiled an origami-inspired robot called the Mori3 which can fold and unfold itself like a piece of flat-pack Ikea furniture and change its shape into a huge number of three-dimensional forms, making it a possible tool for astronauts in a cramped spacecraft. Astronaut training will now include origami and Rubik’s cube solving.
Following in the footsteps of Google, Meta has released its own open-source AI-powered music generator called MusicGen, which can turn a text description like “An ’80s driving pop song with heavy drums and synth pads in the background” into about 12 seconds of music – the testers say the songs are reasonably melodic. These days, “reasonably melodic” means it’s Grammy-worthy.

In a better use of artificial intelligence, the Journal of Archaeological Science reports that scientists from Yamagata University in Japan used artificial intelligence to discover three 2400-year-old lost "Nazca Lines" figures in Peru - a fish measuring 62 feet (19 m) across, a bird measuring 56 feet wide (17 m) and a pair of legs, possibly part of a humanoid figure, more than 250 feet (77 meters) across. A fish, a bird and a pair of legs – it sounds like these lines were inviting aliens to come to Peru for its hunting, fishing and hiking.
Unearthly Encounters in Las Vegas: A Deep-Dive into a Family’s Mystery
Unearthly Encounters in Las Vegas: A Deep-Dive into a Family’s Mystery
In the heart of the bustling city of Las Vegas, under the bright neon lights, a bewildering incident took place on the 30th of April that sent shivers down the spines of many. A local family claimed that an unexplainable entity had crashed in their backyard, an occurrence so outlandish that they felt compelled to dial 911. But what was it that landed in their yard? Who, or what, were these beings deemed as “non-human” by the distressed household?
Enter Doug Poppa, a seasoned investigative journalist with 40 years of experience, determined to uncover the truth behind the shadows. Poppa has since met with the family in question and his investigation has shone new light onto this unusual case.
The Persistent Tale of the Unexpected Visitors
Poppa’s first interaction with the family occurred on May 19th, almost three weeks after the initial incident. According to Poppa, the family’s narrative remained consistent, regardless of the external pressure and skepticism they faced on social media. The family reported multiple sightings of the enigmatic creatures by different family members: Angel, a 16-year-old member of the family, his younger brother, and their father. The beings were reportedly as tall as a six-foot pole, as described by the family, a claim Poppa was able to verify by standing next to the referenced pole.
Despite the severe scrutiny and the doubts cast on their story, the family stuck to their narrative. The non-human entities they described remained a constant element in their tale, and as they saw it, their story didn’t change.
A Turning Point: The Installation of Cameras
Poppa’s investigation took an unexpected turn when he discovered surveillance cameras installed on the family’s rooftop. These cameras appeared about two weeks post the incident and were mysteriously removed a few days later. This unusual occurrence was confirmed by Poppa and his police sources, affirming that the cameras were installed by the Technical and Surveillance Squad, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homeland Security Division.
Curiously, the cameras were installed just three days before May 27th, when Poppa exposed their existence. According to the family, the police department sought permission to install the cameras on their property, citing it was for their protection. This move, however, was unusual and raised more questions than it answered. Was there more to this incident than meets the eye?
The Unsettling Aftermath
Despite the mounting pressure and the harassment the family faced, their story has stood firm. They continue to believe in what they witnessed and the reality of their eerie encounter. The authorities’ reactions, the heightened surveillance, and the unusual removal of cameras have only deepened the mystery surrounding the case.
While there remain more questions than answers, Doug Poppa continues his relentless investigation. As this story unfolds and Poppa digs deeper, the public eagerly awaits the unraveling of the puzzle. What truly happened on that fateful April night? Who were the beings that visited this Las Vegas family, and more importantly, why did they come? The answers, as it seems, are still hidden in the shadows, waiting to be discovered.
In the city of Las Vegas, where every day is a spectacle, an ordinary family experienced the extraordinary. Their story, a testament to the unexplored mysteries of the universe, challenges our understanding of the world around us and beckons us to keep questioning the unknown.
Sprookjesachtige lichtende nachtwolken gespot: dit is hoe jij deze zeldzame wolk kan zien
Elk jaar heb je in de periode rond de langste dag - 21 juni - kans om een heel bijzondere wolk te spotten: de lichtende nachtwolk. Dat is een zeldzaam weerfenomeen. Zeker de moeite waard dus om komende maand op een heldere avond even naar boven te kijken, vindt wetenschapsjournalist Martijn Peters. Maar hoe ontstaan ze? En wanneer en waar kijk je het best?

De hemel boven Groot-Brittannië werd afgelopen nacht op meerdere plekken weer prachtig gekleurd door oplichtende nachtwolken. En ook in Nederland konden enkele aandachtige hemelkijkers genieten van dit bijzondere natuurverschijnsel. Twitter stond dan ook vol met prachtige plaatjes en video’s. Maar wist je dat je lichtende nachtwolken ook hier bij ons kan zien?
Lichtende nachtwolken zweven heel wat hoger in de atmosfeer dan onze alledaagse ‘normale’ bewolking. Waar lage, middelhoge en hoge wolken zich allemaal onder de 12 kilometer bevinden, zitten lichtende nachtwolken ergens rond de 80 kilometer. Hoog in de mesosfeer dus.
Het is dankzij dit gebrek aan hoogtevrees, dat we af en toe eens kunnen genieten van dit zeldzame schouwspel. Want hoog daarboven is het ijzig koud, tot wel 90 à 145°C onder nul. Daardoor kan er zich ijs vormen rond stofdeeltjes afkomstig van meteorieten en vulkanen. Je kan dus haast van ‘buitenaardse’ wolken spreken. Doordat deze ijsdeeltjes zo hoog rondzweven kunnen zij nog zonlicht weerkaatsen na zonsondergang, wanneer andere lager gelegen wolken hier niet meer toe in staat zijn. Dat is wel enkel het geval van eind mei tot juli, wanneer de zon niet te diep onder horizon zakt. De rest van het jaar blijven ze dus onzichtbaar. Hun schichtig snel bewegende patroon hebben de lichtende nachtwolken dan weer te danken aan de grillige luchtstromen daarboven.
Mooie, lichtende nachtwolken worden tegenwoordig vaker gespot dan pakweg 50 jaar geleden. Maar de reden daarvoor minder positief. Het is immers deels te wijten aan de klimaatverandering. Die zorgt voor meer waterdamp en lagere temperaturen in de hogere atmosfeerlagen. Dat betekent meer ijs, en daardoor meer kans op lichtende nachtwolken.
Vergeet dus niet omhoog te kijken in het eerste uur na zonsondergang. Wie weet spot je ze wel. Al is er geen garantie. Het blijft een zeldzaam en onvoorspelbaar fenomeen. Het ene jaar zijn er geen, het andere jaar verschijnen ze meermaals, soms zelfs enkele keren in dezelfde maand.

The shocking revelation about government secrets and alien technology
The shocking revelation about government secrets and alien technology
In an era when information is at our fingertips, it seems almost impossible for any global entity, especially the government, to keep a secret. However, in a recent interview with David Grusch, a former intelligence officer turned whistleblower, new light has been shed on undisclosed government programs and the possible existence of non-human intelligence, or NHI, as it is referred to.
Grusch, who had been embedded deep within the U.S government’s clandestine operations, has come forward to share the extent of the government’s knowledge and cover-up of extraterrestrial life and technology. He asserts that while our government has secretively kept this information under wraps, it has simultaneously perpetuated an elaborate disinformation campaign to stigmatize the very idea of extraterrestrials.
This disinformation strategy has been so skillfully executed that anyone daring to broach the subject of extraterrestrials was immediately sidelined as a conspiracy theorist, discrediting their claims, no matter how legitimate. The general consensus fostered was that talking about aliens was a mark of madness, hence the stereotype of the “tinfoil hat guy.”
However, David Grusch stands as a credible counter to this narrative. As someone with an intimate knowledge of the government’s inner workings, he presents a strong case – strong enough that the U.S Inspector General deemed his whistleblower complaint as “urgent and credible.”
Yet, one might ask why such earth-shattering information has not been leaked before. The answer, according to Grusch, lies in the government’s adept control of information flow and its ability to keep secrets. Many secrets have never seen the light of day, maintained under the tight wraps of national security and the imperative to avoid widespread panic. But these justifications become hard to swallow when we consider the potential benefits of such advanced technologies.
Grusch’s ultimate goal is not just the public revelation of NHI existence, but more importantly, the release of non-human technology for the benefit of all. He draws a comparison with nuclear physics – while nuclear weapons designs are kept classified, the underlying nuclear physics is open for all to study. In the same vein, Gruschargues, knowledge about extraterrestrial life and associated technology should not be suppressed.
Grusch’s revelations leave us standing at the precipice of a massive paradigm shift. If his allegations are indeed valid, the implications are world-changing, pushing us to reevaluate our place in the universe. We are now left grappling with the potential reality of non-human intelligence coexisting with us and the need to figure out our next steps.
What will be the reaction of these non-human intelligences when they realize we know about their existence? According to Grusch, they appear neutral, having stood by as humanity fought wars and perpetrated genocides.
Will the governments admit the truth, disband the military-industrial complex responsible for this colossal cover-up? Or will they continue to operate in shadows, keeping secrets and muzzling voices that dare to question?
The future of our planet and humanity is in question, underscoring the need for courage, integrity, and transparency from our governments. It took one individual to shed light on these secrets. It will require collective willpower to confront these revelations, navigate the uncharted waters, and make informed decisions about our shared future.

Astronomers studying the fastest and most dramatic nova ever recorded continue to find more puzzles than answers.
Novas are sudden, bright flares of light in a two-star system created when a white dwarf, the core of a dying star that has run out of fuel, steals material away from its companion star, causing the white dwarf to temporarily brighten. A nova known as V1674 Hercules found in a bizarre binary star system — made up of a white dwarf and a shredded companion in the Hercules constellation — has been the object of much interest since it first erupted two years ago on June 12, 2021. Astronomers were baffled by its light and energy, which rang like a bell, as well as its mysterious and intense winds that pumped stellar material into surrounding space.
Now, a team of researchers has spotted strange radio emissions sprouting from deep inside the V1674 Hercules nova that are very different from the high-temperature emissions normally seen during such events. "Right now, we're trying to determine if the non-thermal energy is coming from clumps of gas running into other clumped gas which produces shocks, or something else," Montana Williams, a graduate student at New Mexico Tech who is leading the new research, said in a statement.
Wiliams revealed the strange emissions last week in a news briefing at the 242nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society being held in Albuquerque and online. Those emissions may be from interactions among chunks of stellar material ejected during the explosion, which is quite rare for "classical nova" such as V1674 Hercules, Williams said.
"Classical novas have historically been considered simple explosions, emitting mostly thermal energy," she added in the statement. "Instead, it seems they're a bit more complicated."
To study V1674 Hercules, Williams and her colleagues are using the Very Long Baseline Array, which is a network of ten antennas spanning the United States from Mauna Kea in Hawaii to Saint Croix in Virgin Islands. By combining those observations with similar data from other telescopes also watching the nova, including the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array telescope facility in New Mexico and the space-based Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (or NuSTAR), the team hopes to understand what's causing the mysterious radio emissions.

Researchers can measure how fast a nova evolves by observing how long the explosion takes to fade two magnitudes from its peak brightness. Extremely fast events take less than 10 days, moderate can ones take up to 80 days and the slow ones take anywhere from 80 to 150 days. The V1674 Hercules nova (or V1674 Her), whose flash of light was so bright that it could be seen with the unaided eye, took only 1.1 days to dim two magnitudes, or to about one-sixth of its original brightness.
"V1674 Her at 1.1 days is on an extreme end of an already extreme end, so it earns the title of the fastest nova," Williams said at the news conference last week.
A newly released pair of images by Williams and her team depicts just how drastic that pulsating change in brightness was between July 2, 2021 and July 6, 2021.

Unlike supernovas which completely destroy a star in violent explosions, classical novas such as V1674 Hercules leave the host stars intact and fully capable of putting on multiple shows, giving astronomers many opportunities to study how the system works.
In a broad brush, astronomers say studying the behavior and evolution of V1674 Hercules could also shed light on how galaxies evolve across eons, since the material that novas blast out into surrounding space is eventually recycled by nearby galaxies to feed the next generation of stars and planets.

Synthetic human embryos raise ethical questions among experts
Synthetic human embryos raise ethical questions among experts

A team of UK and US scientists has announced that it’s created “synthetic human embryos”: embryos made from stem cells rather than human eggs or sperm.
The research, which is not yet peer-reviewed, was presented at the International Society for Stem Cell Research’s annual conference in Boston.
This breakthrough, which has previously been demonstrated in mice, could allow scientists to study human development during a period where comparatively little is known about how the foetus develops.
Currently, regulations in most countries stipulate that embryos and embryo-like structures cannot be cultivated in a lab for research beyond 14 days.
Stem-cell synthetic embryos are not caught up in the ban, and therefore could be used to sidestep the rule and study foetal development beyond two weeks.
The researchers, who are based at the University of Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology, have cultivated their synthetic embryos to “just beyond” the equivalent of 14 days of development, according to The Guardian, which was the first to report on the discovery.
But it’s not yet clear whether these embryos could actually develop into humans, or if they should be subject to the same rules as other embryo-like structures.
“It is extremely important to develop a much deeper understanding of the earliest stages of human development, particularly as these are essential for developing better clinical responses to infertility, miscarriage, and developmental errors,” says Professor Rachel Ankeny, a researcher at the University of Adelaide who watched the presentation in Boston.
“We need to engage various publics about their understandings of and expectations from this sort of research, and more generally about their views on early human development, as these biological processes are deeply tied to our values and what we think counts as human life.”
Dr Kathryn MacKay, from the University of Sydney, points out that, while they didn’t need a full egg and sperm cell, the embryos still needed human embryonic cells to grow.
“If human embryonic stem cells are needed to create these human-like embryos for research, then synthetic embryos may not avoid having to use human embryos for research. This is an ongoing moral issue around respect for human life,” says MacKay.
“Further, there is a moral issue involved in creating something for research that may or may not have the potential to live as its own full entity. If they could live as their own full entities, then we must ask whether it is morally permissible to create living beings purely for research purposes.
MacKay says that, based on animal models, the synthetic embryos shouldn’t be able to grow into a human baby.
“This raises two further questions: One, if they are not the sort of thing that can really grow into a human baby, then how useful are they really for scientific knowledge into human reproduction and development? And two, will researchers decide that ‘fixing the problem’ of these embryos not being able to grow into human babies is something worth pursuing, for questionable ends?”
Other experts point out that, in addition to fertility and foetal development, synthetic embryos could be used to understand more about genetic diseases, longevity and ageing.
“It is likely that this work will allow us to develop new strategies to treat different developmental dysfunctions, and perhaps even extend lifespan,” says Professor Wojciech Chrzanowski, from the University of Sydney.
“This work on the one hand mitigates any ethical concerns related to fundamental biology research on embryos, but on the other hand, raises substantial concerns about whether such embryos will not be misused to generate some ‘super forms’ of life. Similarly, to the use of AI, the regulatory, ethical and integrity aspects are important to consider.”
Associate Professor Karinne Ludlow, from Monash University’s Faculty of Law, compares the discovery to a similar one announced by a Monash team in 2021: iBlastoids, structures also made from stem cells that closely resemble human embryos.
“The regulator ultimately determined that iBlastoids met the definition of a human embryo and were therefore subject to existing laws on embryo research. However, this decision was controversial,” says Ludlow.
Much remains to be learned about the synthetic embryos, including how similar they really are to human embryos, and what research they could help to encourage.
Professor Ankeny says: “It is critical that researchers be transparent about this type of research and what is known and unknown, in order to ensure that our regulatory processes address the necessary issues and that the public is assured that there are adequate oversight mechanisms and safeguards.”
No wonder the whole world will unite if tomorrow Earth is invaded by aliens. It may sound like science fiction but the probability of it cannot be denied. There are many accounts of encountering non-human beings but such stories are often neglected due to a lack of strong evidence. However, things become different when a government itself supports such claims. Some of them were Gen. Douglas McArthur, Gen. George Marshall, Werner Von Braun, President Ronald Reagan, Gen. Nathan Twining, Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, and many others.
Former US President Ronald Reagan expressed his concern about an alien invasion in his speeches from 1985 to 1988. In one of his speeches to the UN, he said: “What if all of us in the world were threatened by an outer power, from outer space, from another planet? We would all of a sudden find out that we didn’t have any differences at all.” None of the presidential aides, speechwriters, and handlers liked what he said. Besides, it never appeared on original drafts. Despite it, Reagan continued adding it subtly.
In 1982, there was a special screening of the movie “ET: The Extra-Terrestrial” at the White House. During the screening, President Reagan whispered to Steven Spielberg that everything depicted in the film was real. Spielberg confirmed this during an interview with Quint (also known as Eric Vespe).
Spielberg said: “No, he wasn’t ushered out of the room. He was the President of the United States! Nobody could usher Ronald Reagan out of the room! It was in the White House screening room and Reagan got up to thank me for bringing the film to show the President, the First Lady, and all of their guests, which included Sandra Day O’Connor in her first week as a Justice of the Supreme Court, and it included some astronauts… I think Neil Armstrong was there, I’m not 100% certain, but it was an amazing, amazing evening.”
Reagan was criticized for his bizarre comments on aliens, he was called an actor reading a script but the truth is that they were his own words. In the following years, many officials in the White House hinted at the presence of outer world life.
One such interesting case is brought to light by the writer, producer, co-host of the podcast Need To Know, and former CNN correspondent Bryce Zabel. Mr. Bryce discovered the story of a Reagan administration cabinet member crying himself to sleep after being briefed on the truth about UFOs.
John Herrington, Former US Navy AS R&MA and served as the United States Secretary of Energy under Ronald Reagan during his second term.

Mr. Bryce was telling a story originally told by his friend Brent Friedman. According to him, Brent was a family friend of John S. Herrington, who served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of Energy in the Reagan Administration. Herrington “had Brent drive his car across the country in 1981 because he had just taken a position in the Reagan administration.” This is where Herrington allegedly told this story to Friedman. (Source)
Friedman said: “A good family friend of ours, when I was just getting out of high school, was working at a very high level in the Reagan administration. One night, he took me aside and was telling me some of the things he was doing in the government. He was going to get us a White House tour and everything and ended up telling me some pretty shattering stories.
And in particular, he knew that I had always been into science fiction and fantasy and comic books and very casually just threw out there that aliens were real. They’re here, and I’ve seen them. The story goes on to much greater detail because at the time, I was just absolutely shocked. And this is a person I grew up with and I completely trusted, and he just rocked my world.”
“In addition to Sauder’s well-documented research, there are other tantalizing links to the underground world. One, for example, concerns an assistant secretary to a branch of the armed forces in a new Republican administration. This person told a family friend that he had been ‘briefed’ for some eight weeks at an underground facility outside of Washington.”
When asked the purpose of the briefing, this highly-positioned man, who went on to become a cabinet secretary, said: “There is intelligent life in the universe. It’s here. And I’ve seen it.” The man said that the information he had been given caused him to cry himself to sleep for a number of nights. The reason, he told his shocked listener, was that he had children. “This is not the kind of world I thought they’d grow up in.
What kinds of things are going on that require months-long briefings in underground facilities and cause grown men to cry? The cabinet secretary told the family friend that aliens were just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ in terms of mind-blowing revelations. It is clear, then, that large underground facilities not only are real, but are connected in some way with the reality of ETs or ‘Others’ here on Earth
The claims of non-human intelligence living with us are not new and have been told by more than a dozen of government officials.
The Honorable Paul Hellyer (1923-2021), former Canadian Minister of Defense said extraterrestrials have been visiting our planet for thousands of years and it is likely that at least two of them are working with the U.S. government and sharing their highly-advanced technologies with humans.
Hellyer stated that “aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government.” More specifically, Hellyer announced that at least four species of extraterrestrials had been visiting Earth for thousands of years. According to Huffington Post Canada, he also stated that some extraterrestrials originate from the “Zeta Reticuli, the Pleiades, Orion, Andromeda, and Altair star systems” and “may have different agendas.”
In December 2020, Haim Eshed, a retired Israeli general and former head of the Israeli Defense Ministry’s space directorate gained attention for making controversial claims about extraterrestrial life and alleged secret collaborations between humans and aliens. He stated that aliens and the U.S. government had reached some type of deal to stay quiet about their experiments on Earth and secret facilities on Mars.
In his claims, Mr. Eshed said ETs exist and monitor our nuclear capabilities. There is a “Galactic Federation,” and the alien species with whom humanity will contact is “Grey.” According to him, Earth is their Petri dish, and they are also trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe. He further stated that some of the smaller UFOs are robots/AI, consciousness is present after death, and humans have anti-gravity technology but it is still classified.
Jim Semivan, a former CIA officer has recently made a shocking statement, saying “there’s a whole other reality that surrounds us that we just simply don’t have the ability to see or interact with. There’s an entity out there! There’s some kind of non-human intelligence that’s living with us on this planet!”
“I think they mention that the phenomenon is a natural part of our universe, and we’re living in it but we don’t recognize it. The same way that insects and animals don’t recognize the human universe. A cat and a dog could be running through a library, but they don’t have the faintest idea what the books are all about and what libraries are all about. We might be walking through our existence and there’s a whole other reality that surrounds us that we just simply don’t have the ability to see or interact with.”
“It seems to be peeking inside our little consensus reality. As I explained to somebody once, it comes close, it teases us, it cajoles us, it lies to us, but you can never take it home to meet the parents. It won’t allow you to do that. There’s no formal introduction. Add on top that there’s no ontology, which is just a fancy word, it basically means there’s no structure to even discuss this. We don’t have a common lexicon. Somebody said we have dots but no connections. I don’t even think we have dots.”
The reason it couldn't be left in orbit around Saturn is because some of Saturn's major moons - like Titan and Enceladus - are considered to have prime conditions that could support the emergence of life.
Not wanting to risk contamination, NASA scientists decided to end the mission by destroying the Cassini spacecraft.
One of the key bodies in the search for signs of life within our Solar System is Enceladus, due to the liquid water that exists beneath its frozen exterior.
As we know water is a key ingredient for life on Earth, Enceladus's liquid subsurface ocean makes it a prime target.
During its mission, the Cassini spacecraft made several dives through plumes erupting from deep inside Enceladus and found the moon's ice grains contain a wealth of minerals and organic compounds that are associated with life as we know it.

Now, scientists studying Cassini data have discovered phosphorus, which is a building block for DNA and is found in the bones of mammals, cell membranes and plankton in our ocea
"We previously found that Enceladus’ ocean is rich in a variety of organic compounds," says Frank Postberg of the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, who led the new study, which has been published in the journal Nature.
"But now, this new result reveals the clear chemical signature of substantial amounts of phosphorus salts inside icy particles ejected into space by the small moon’s plume. It’s the first time this essential element has been discovered in an ocean beyond Earth."
Finding the ingredients for life

To make the discovery, the team studied Cassini data: specifically that collected by the spacecraft's Cosmic Dust Analyzer instrument when it sampled particles of ice from Enceladus found in Saturn's E ring.
They found high concentrations of sodium phosphates – molecules of chemically bound sodium, oxygen, hydrogen, and phosphorus – inside some ice grains.
Lab tests found that Enceladus’s ocean contains phosphorus in concentrations of at least 100 times that of Earth's oceans.

"High phosphate concentrations are a result of interactions between carbonate-rich liquid water and rocky minerals on Enceladus’ ocean floor and may also occur on a number of other ocean worlds," says co-investigator Christopher Glein of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.
"This key ingredient could be abundant enough to potentially support life in Enceladus’ ocean; this is a stunning discovery for astrobiology."
However, the study authors are keen for caution when interpreting these results.
"Having the ingredients is necessary, but they may not be sufficient for an extraterrestrial environment to host life," says Glein.
"Whether life could have originated in Enceladus’ ocean remains an open question."
