    What We Do — and Don't — Know About the Pentagon's Secret UFO Program

    By: Mark Mancini

    Pentagon UFO program

    Do the Pentagon and U.S. Department of Defense have proof we aren't alone?

    "Keep watching the skies!" That's the last line uttered in "The Thing from Another World," a 1951 sci-fi classic. Released by RKO Radio Pictures, the movie is about an Unidentified Flying Object — or UFO — that turns out to be an alien spacecraft.

    The Pentagon was not clear about whether the UFO program continues to exist within the vast universe of the US Defense establishment.

     (AP: Charles Pharapak)

    Flying saucers were constantly making headlines in those days. During the late 1940s and early 1950s, postwar America went through a surge of reported UFO sightings. In response, the U.S. Air Force created a couple of short-lived programs called "Project SIGN" and "Project GRUDGE" to look into the phenomenon. These were followed up by "Project Blue Book," a large-scale government study that lasted from 1952 to 1969.

    Ordered into existence by Major General Charles P. Cabell (a former director of intelligence at the Air Force), Project Blue Book painstakingly gathered 12,618 reports about UFOs. After it was determined that the overwhelming majority of these had natural explanations — and there wasn't enough data to evaluate the others properly — support for the effort dwindled.

    Officially, Project Blue Book was terminated in December 1969. But did the U.S. government's interest in aerial aberrations die with it? Evidently not. Because we learned in mid-December 2017 that the Pentagon launched yet another UFO research program in the late 2000s.

    The story was broken on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2017 by near-simultaneous reports that appeared in Politico magazine and The New York Times. According to unclassified documents obtained by the press, a total of almost $22 million was quietly spent over a four-year period on a project dubbed The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP).

    Who was the major driving force behind its creation? That would be the now-retired Senator Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada. One of Reid's repeat campaign contributors was businessman Bob Bigelow, a fellow Nevadan who owns the Budget Suites of America hotel chain — as well as a startup called Bigelow Aerospace, which develops space station modules. He's also a huge UFO enthusiast. In a "60 Minutes" interview in May 2016, Bigelow said that he believes extraterrestrial visitors have maintained a "presence" on planet Earth.

    Reid himself has a fascination with cosmic mysteries; according to one of his former spokeswomen, this fact is obvious to anyone who's ever talked to the retired senator "for [over] 60 seconds."

    At some point in 2007, Bigelow was reportedly visited by a Defense Intelligence Agency official who expressed an interest in his UFO research. As an anonymous ex-congressional staffer told Politico, there was some concern at the time that the Chinese or Russians might be developing experimental new aircraft that could conceivably pose a threat to America's national security.

    Bigelow later told Reid about the visit, prompting the senator to contact the DIA. When Reid learned the agency was interested in setting up a new, government-funded UFO program, he decided to lend a hand. To get the project started, Reid approached the late senators Daniel Inouye, a Democrat from Hawaii, and Ted Stevens, a Republican from Alaska. It was an easy sell; Stevens was particularly enthusiastic about the idea because he claimed to have once been tailed by some unrecognizable aircraft during his service as an Air Force pilot in World War II.

    Using the Pentagon's classified programs budget, Reid, Inouye and Stevens secretly set some money aside for the upstart AATIP. The bulk of the cash went to Bigelow Aerospace, which used it to finance research and hire subcontractors on the government's behalf. With the company's guidance, a few buildings in Las Vegas were converted into storage facilities for objects with alleged ties to UFO-related incidents.

    UFO sighting?

    This infrared footage from the Mexican Air Force purportedly shows a close encounter with UFOs.

    The job of heading AATIP fell to one Luiz Elizondo, an intelligence officer with the Department of Defense. Although many aspects of the program remain classified, we do know that its staffers and contractors put together an as-yet unreleased 490-page report chronicling several decades' worth of UFO sightings in the United States and elsewhere. What's more, the initiative rounded up "video and audio recordings" from supposed encounters between human onlookers and mysterious airborne objects.

    AATIP started receiving taxpayer funds late in 2008. The following year, Senator Reid attempted to upgrade the program's level of security, but his efforts failed. Then, in 2012, the Pentagon cut off AATIP's cash supply altogether. According to Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White, "It was determined that there were other, higher priority issues that merited funding and it was in the best interest of the [Department of Defense] to make a change."

    Yet some sources claim that the Pentagon is still quietly investigating new UFO reports made by those in the armed forces. If this is true, then AATIP may continue to exist in some form, despite its current lack of financial support.

    For his part, Elizondo felt the initiative wasn't getting enough respect within the DOD. After 22 years of service, he resigned from the Pentagon in October 2017. Before he left, however, Elizondo persuaded his colleagues to release three formerly secret videos to the public. These were raw footage taken by cockpit cameras in U.S. fighter jets and appear to show strange objects traveling through the atmosphere at high rates of speed.

    To Elizondo, the evidence suggests that, in his own words, "we may not be alone, whatever that means."

    Meanwhile, a number of scientists have given more skeptical assessments. Astrophysicist Johnathan McDowell says the object in one of these newly released videos is probably some sort of reflection. Despite Elizondo's cryptic statements, Sara Seager of M.I.T. was quick to remind The New York Times that unidentified shapes in the sky aren't necessarily extraterrestrial vessels. And furthermore, astronomer Seth Shostak believes the decision to include Bigelow — someone with firm, pre-existing views on alien visitations — raises doubts about the program's objectivity.

    Not That's Interesting

    Roswell, New Mexico is mainly associated with a UFO crash-landing that supposedly took place there in 1947. But did you know that this city was also the longtime home of legendary scientist Robert Hutchings Goddard, who had previously launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket?

    What Are UFOs? Select Theories and Shifting Scientific Stances

    By: Robert Lamb & Desiree Bowie

    For many, the term "UFO" conjures the image of a flying disc soaring through the night sky. But what is a UFO, really?

    You glimpse a light in the night sky. It's not a star or an airplane — but something radically different. It moves with baffling speed, pulsates with radiance beyond anything you've witnessed. Three letters immediately enter your mind: U-F-O. And you likely have Hollywood to thank for this line of thinking.

    These mysterious objects have played a prominent role in pop culture, captivating imaginations and fueling speculation. From classic films like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" to TV shows like "The X-Files," UFOs have become symbols of mystery and the unknown and mainstays in literature, music and art.

    We know what Hollywood has to say about these mystery objects, but what are UFOs actually doing up in the sky in real life? And is there a massive government cover-up surrounding their existence? In this article, we'll take a closer look at these airborne objects, their potential link to extraterrestrial life and popular conspiracies about them.

    5. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: A New Term Emerges
    6. UAPs and the Government

    1. What Is a UFO?

    Technically, an unidentified flying object (UFO) can be anything when you get right down to it, but the term has become synonymous with spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin.

    Alleged sightings became a popular topic of conversation in the mid-20th century and continue to this day. Exact descriptions of alien spacecraft vary with each telling, but witnesses and UFO enthusiasts often describe a lighted object capable of hovering silently and zigzagging in midair.

    The technology for such a craft and the ability for a living passenger to survive its g-forces are well beyond humanity's modern technology. Additionally, given the massive distance between habitable star systems, such craft would have to travel at impossible speeds or with patience that staggers the imagination.

    2. The Scientific Stance on Unidentified Flying Objects

    For decades, scientists didn't have much to say about these unidentified objects. From a scientific standpoint, there was never enough sufficient evidence in UFO records to make a case for alien visitation. Most UFO sightings depend on fallible human accounts, imperfect footage and conspiracy theory.

    All of this tends to crumble under the scrutiny of the scientific method, humanity's best sieve for separating reality from fantasy.

    In recent years, the field has begun to approach UFOs with a stance of curiosity and skepticism. NASA, guided by administrator Bill Nelson, now aims to play a more prominent role in this research, emphasizing the importance of scientific methodology and instruments to gather data.

    This shift signifies a desire to move beyond sensationalism and tabloid speculation, toward a more rigorous scientific approach.

    3. Fire in the Sky

    The sky has always teemed with sights to stir the imagination: atmospheric anomalies, wildlife, optical illusions, aurora borealis, shooting stars and distant supernovae, just to name a few. Even in our scientifically informed age, countless phenomena escape our understanding.

    As Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung pointed out, these sights have no intrinsic meaning, but even the earliest humans jumped at the chance to project their hopes, dreams and nightmares into the vastness of the sprawling void. They personified the sun and moon as deities and poured their belief systems into the wheeling movements of the stars. And when they glimpsed strange lights, they read them as omens.

    Just as the emotional resonance of a UFO sighting falls to the observer, so too does the explanation. Humans have always experienced brushes with the unknown, and they've always fished for explanations in the waters of their cultural worldview. In the absence of science, they turned to their religious beliefs, folktales and myth.

    • Religious Interpretations

    Consider the UFO encounter that took place in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. In what has subsequently been explained as everything from stratospheric dust to mass hallucination, thousands of witnesses in the predominantly Catholic town claimed to see an aerial event brought on by the Virgin Mary.

    During this event, known as "the Miracle of the Sun," witnesses say the sun appeared to dance, change colors and spin.

    Before the advent of Christianity, the same event would have likely been viewed through the lens of a pagan belief system. How do you think such an event would be interpreted in the entirely different world we know today?

    By framing a bizarre occurrence within the context of a belief system or worldview, an individual attributes both a "what" and a "why" to the phenomenon. Such a view also helps sanction the experience and allow the individual to feel like they are both special for having experienced it and normal for sharing such experiences with others. Perform an online search for "UFO support group," and see for yourself.

    4. Evaluating UFO Reports and Alien Abductions

    Accounts of alien abduction often factor into UFO sightings, and this is also an area where one's worldview, belief system and culture play a vital role in framing an extraordinary experience.

    Fortunately, alien abduction accounts generally provide more room for serious evaluation, typically by medical doctors or psychiatrists.

    Doctors believe that sleep paralysis and waking, hypnopompic hallucinations factor into many abduction experiences. This is a kind of temporary paralysis accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations, which are often charged by the person's sexual fantasies, belief system and pop culture.

    Imagine waking in your bed, unable to move and experiencing sexual hallucinations colored by your subconscious. The exact nature of the hallucinations would likely depend, like dreams, on the nature of your belief system and cultural literacy. You might experience the visitation of an angel or ghost. Likewise, you just might experience a transcendent walk through an alien spacecraft or endure uncomfortable probing at the hands of extraterrestrials.

    Consider the case of science writer and Skeptic magazine editor Michael Shermer, who himself experienced an alien abduction. Or rather, he collapsed from sleep deprivation and exhaustion following an 83-hour bike ride in a transcontinental race.

    As Shermer's support team rushed over to him, the bicyclist saw them through the filter of a waking dream and perceived them as aliens from a 1960s TV series [source: Shermer].

    • Other Potential Causes

    Researchers may attribute abduction experiences to a host of additional causes, including schizophrenia, organic brain syndrome, bipolar disorder, delayed post-traumatic stress disorder or even food allergies.

    Neuroscientist Michael Persinger points the finger to the brain's temporal lobe. Persinger believes that temporal lobe anomalies, when combined with certain cultural expectations (such as beliefs in aliens or angels) can mislabel imagined experiences as actual experiences.

    Even without the aid of neurological misfiring, human memory is a complex and fallible thing. Every day, we experience something new and turn that experience into an imperfect narrative. We can convince ourselves of nearly anything — especially when it fulfills a need.

    So why do humans need visiting alien spacecraft and alien encounters? Perhaps Jung put it best in a 1958 interview: "In our world, miracles do not happen anymore, and we feel that something simply must happen which will provide an answer or show the way out. So now these UFOs are appearing in the sky."

    In the late 1990s, psychologists Roy F. Baumesiter and Leonard S. Newman furthered this viewpoint by arguing that abduction encounters are essentially subconscious attempts to rid oneself of self-awareness through masochistic fantasy. In lieu of mystic conviction, our minds staff these fantasies with aliens.

    In addition, our cultural frame of reference continually changes. Some observers have even equated the recent decline in UFO sightings to the rise of the internet. Cultural critic Ziauddin Sardar suggests that instead of projecting our hopes and fears into space, we project them into cyberspace.

    So what are UFOs really? You might not find the answer amid the stars after all, but rather in the labyrinthine chambers of the human mind.

    5. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: A New Term Emerges

    Breaking news: The term "UFO" is on its way out. Well, for the U.S. government, that is.

    The feds began making the shift from "unidentified flying object" to "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP) in 2020 when the UAP Task Force was established to encourage pilots to report sightings without fear of stigma or career repercussions. The scientific community is actively seeking better data on UAPs to gain a deeper understanding.

    NASA also gathered a panel of 16 experts to assess how data on UAPs is collected across government and private sectors. Their final report, released in September 2023, found no evidence of extraterrestrial origins for UAPs but acknowledged that a small subset of encounters defies explanation.

    6. UAPs and the Government

    During a 2023 congressional hearing on UAPs, three military veterans testified about their experiences and concerns. One former Air Force intelligence officer alleged the existence of a secret government program for decades, involving the reverse engineering of recovered UFOs and the retrieval of non-human biological materials from alleged crash sites.

    However, much of the discussion during the hearing focused on improving the reporting process for UAPs. The veterans called for destigmatizing UAP reporting and ensuring government program oversight. The Defense Department stated that it had not found any verifiable information supporting claims of extraterrestrial material possession or reverse engineering.

    Retired Maj. David Grusch, a whistleblower who had been part of the Pentagon's UAP Task Force, claimed to know the exact locations of UAPs in U.S. possession but couldn't provide further details publicly. He stated his information came from reliable sources and shared evidence kept secret from Congress.

    The hearing also featured testimony from former Navy fighter pilot Ryan Graves, who described encountering unusual aircraft off the coast of Virginia Beach, and retired Cmdr. David Fravor, who witnessed a mysterious "Tic Tac"-shaped flying object in 2004. Both emphasized the need for transparency and acknowledged the superior technology of the encountered objects.

    The hearing aimed to pressure intelligence agencies for greater transparency on UAPs, citing potential national security threats. Lawmakers, witnesses and advocates called for a centralized reporting system to encourage reporting and eliminate stigma, emphasizing the importance of understanding these phenomena for both safety and scientific reasons.

    Can we use bees as a model of intelligent alien life to develop interstellar communication?

    Story by Scarlett Howard, Adrian Dyer, Andrew Greentree

    Humans have always been fascinated with space. We frequently question whether we are alone in the universe. If not, what does intelligent life look like? And how would aliens communicate?

    The possibility of extraterrestrial life is grounded in scientific evidence. But the distances involved in travel between the stars are vast. If we do contact aliens, it would likely be via long-distance communication, with our nearest neighboring star being 4.4 light years away. Even being optimistic, it would likely take more than 10 years for any round-trip communication.

    How could that work when we have no shared language? Well, consider how we can engage with creatures here on Earth with minds quite alien to our own: bees.

    Despite the vast differences in human and bee brains, both of us can do mathematics. As we argue in a new paper published in the journal Leonardo, our thought experiment lends weight to the idea that mathematics may form the basis for a "universal language," which might one day be used to communicate between the stars.

    Mathematics as the language of science

    The idea of mathematics as universal is not new. Writing in the 17th century, Galileo Galilei described the universe as a grand book "written in the language of mathematics."

    Science fiction, too, has long explored the idea of mathematics as a universal language. In the 1985 novel and 1997 film Contact, extraterrestrials reach out to humans using a repeating sequence of prime numbers sent via radio signal.

    In The Three-Body Problem, a novel by Liu Cixin adapted into a Netflix series, communication between aliens and humans to solve a mathematical problem occurs through a video game.

    Mathematics also features in a 1998 novella by Ted Chiang called Story of Your Life, which was adapted into the 2016 film Arrival. It describes aliens with a non-linear experience of time and a correspondingly different formulation of mathematics.

    Real scientific efforts at universal communication have also involved mathematics and numbers. The covers of the Golden Records, which accompanied the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes launched in 1977, are etched with mathematical and physical quantities to "communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials."

    The 1974 Arecibo radio message beamed out into space consisted of 1,679 zeros and ones, ordered to communicate the numbers one to ten and the atomic numbers of the elements that make up DNA. In 2022, researchers developed a binary language designed to introduce extraterrestrials to human mathematics, chemistry, and biology.

    This gold-aluminum cover was designed to protect the Voyager 1 and 2 'Sounds of Earth' gold-plated records from micrometeorite bombardment, but also served a second purpose in providing the finder with a key to playing the record using binary arithmetic and numbers, as well as schematics to explain the process.

    How do we test a universal language without aliens?

    A creature with two antennae, six legs, and five eyes may sound like an alien, but it also describes a bee. (Science fiction has, of course, imagined "insectoid" aliens.)

    The ancestors of bees and humans diverged over 600 million years ago, yet we both possess communication, sociality, and some mathematical ability. Since parting ways, both honeybees and humans have independently developed effective, but different, means of communication and cooperation within complex societies.

    Humans have developed language. Honeybees evolved the waggle dance—which communicates the location of food sources, including distance, direction, angle from the sun, and quality of the resource.

    Due to our vast evolutionary separation from bees, as well as the differences between our brain sizes and structures, bees could be considered an insectoid alien model that exists right here on Earth. At least for the purposes of our thought experiment.

    Bees and mathematics

    In a series of experiments between 2016 and 2024, we explored the ability of bees to learn mathematics. We worked with freely flying honeybees that chose to regularly visit and participate in our outdoor math tests to receive sugar water.

    During the tests, bees showed evidence of solving simple addition and subtraction, categorizing quantities as odd or even, and ordering quantities of items, including an understanding of "zero." Bees even demonstrated the ability to link symbols with numbers, in a simple version of how humans learn Arabic and Roman numerals.

    A honeybee stands in front of coloured Arabic numerals including 2, 3, 2, 4.

    Bees have demonstrated the ability to learn simple arithmetic and can perform other numerical feats. 

    Scarlett Howard

    Despite the miniature brains of bees, they have demonstrated a rudimentary capacity to perform mathematics and learn to solve problems with quantities. Their mathematical ability involved learning to add and subtract one, which provides a launching pad to more abstract mathematics. The ability to add or subtract by one theoretically allows bees to represent all of the natural numbers.

    If two species considered alien to each other—humans and honeybees—can perform mathematics, along with many other animals, then perhaps mathematics could form the basis of a universal language.

    If there are extraterrestrial species, and they have sufficiently sophisticated brains, then our work suggests that they may have the capacity to do mathematics. A further question to be answered is whether different species will develop different approaches to mathematics, akin to dialects in language.

    Such discoveries would also help to answer the question of whether mathematics is an entirely human construction, or if it is a consequence of intelligence and thus, universal.

    The British military thought there was ‘basis in fact’ to UFO sightings and wanted to get their hands on the ‘extraterrestrial’ technology, previously secret files show.

    Confidential memos from the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) within the Ministry of Defence warned that ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ (UAP) were a ‘potential threat’ to the UK in the 1990s.

    The documents – now in the National Archives in Kew – also reveal how Britain’s most well-known UFO sighting at Rendlesham Forest was ‘confirmed’ by US military personnel.

    One internal correspondence from March 4, 1997 reads: ‘Logic would indicate that if significant numbers are reporting seeing strange objects in the sky then there may be a basis in fact.

    ‘It could be argued that UAPs pose a potential threat to the defence of the realm since we have no idea what they are!’

    Intelligence officers appeared particularly concerned about the reports of large, silent, low-flying black triangles which came out of Belgium in their thousands between November 1989 and April 1990.

    The reports sparked calls for Britain to try get hold of the technology.

    The document noted: ‘A supplementary issue is the possibility of technology acquisition.

    ‘UAPs do not appear to use conventional reaction propulsion.

    ‘The Belgian deltas (confirmed by the country’s MoD) hovered for long periods and accelerated quickly to supersonic speeds, outrunning F-16s.

    ‘If this represents real technology perhaps it should be acquired.’

    Another briefing letter, marked ‘Secret UK Eyes B’, acknowledged that the British military did not have the ‘reported technology’.

    It added: ‘No matter the origin, the determination of the technology, and possible acquisition, is a matter for Defence Intelligence Staff [DIS].’

    The correspondence added that ‘some reports described objects in terms of manoeuvre, speed and shape which lie beyond our engineering knowledge and that which could be reasonably expected from hostile powers.’

    The file also stressed that most UFO reports were tenuous, with only a small number that could not be explained immediately.

    The documents jokingly dismissed the possibility of alien life as part of fringe conspiracy theories.

    The file reads: ‘Mention of UAPs is guaranteed to generate mirth and Little Green Men jokes, possibly because of the fringe element of “crazies”.’

    Rendlesham Forest UFO sightings ‘confirmed’

    A separate file from the British Military sheds new light on the Rendlesham Forest incident.

    Dating back to December 1980, members of the US Air Force stationed at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England, reported seeing unexplained lights and a craft in the forest.

    Witnesses, including high-ranking officers, described seeing a glowing, metallic, triangular object hovering and emitting strange beams of light.

    The document says that the Rendlesham Forest ‘landing’ was ‘confirmed by the US unit commander and others’.

    It adds: ‘In both [Rendlesham Forest and Belgian] cases the UAP apparently did not use any conventional propulsion system and could hover as well as move at considerable speed.

    ‘The French have always had an interest in this topic … and I am aware that there is an informal intelligence grouping in the US.’

    The sightings sparked front page news

    The sighting has fuelled decades of speculation and conspiracy theories ranging from alien encounters to secret military tests.

    One UFO expert, Philip Mantle, told Metro he is convinced something happened over those fateful nights in 1980 – but doesn’t necessarily think aliens were involved.

    The former Director of Investigations for the British UFO Research Association speculated that soldiers could have come into contact with ‘strange plasma’ that caused ‘electromagnetic effects’.

    The previously secret file also claimed to have a ‘Moscow report’ that suggested ‘two military scientists are responsible for UFOs’.

    The unusual sight was spotted in the skies at Newborough Beach on Anglesey

    Mysterious and unusual shaped clouds have been spotted in the skies in north Wales.

    The quirky-shaped clouds have been described as looking like flying saucers, pancakes, lentils and have even been previously mistaken for UFOs.

    Known as lenticular clouds, they are uncommon in the UK as they can only form under the right weather conditions.

    Photos have been shared after they appeared last week, with Anglesey's south-west coast producing some of the most striking views.

    The unique formations are often referred to as pancake clouds as they appear flat and are sometimes stacked together.

    Their official name is lenticular clouds, originating from a Latin word meaning "lens-like".

    People visiting Traeth Llanddwyn in Newborough were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the sight as they drifted over from the Pen Llŷn mountains.

    Hikers in Snowdonia and the Llŷn Peninsula were taken aback by the clouds as they made a quick appearance only lasting for about 10 minutes.

    Dove Rosalinda often hikes in Snowdonia and said she had seen UFO clouds before.

    She described her first time seeing the phenomenon as "special" because they do not last very long.

    Pilots avoid flying near the lenticular clouds as they can cause turbulence

    How are UFO clouds formed?

    UFO or lenticular clouds form when stable, moist air travels over mountains and creates standing waves in the atmosphere.

    As the air cools, it then condenses into flat clouds, often stacking up like UFOs or pancakes.

    Lenticular clouds often signify strong winds on the ground below.

    The Met Office said: "When air blows across a mountain range, in certain circumstances, it can set up a train of large standing waves in the air downstream, rather like ripples forming in a river when water flows over an obstruction.

    "If there is enough moisture in the air, the rising motion of the wave will cause water vapour to condense, forming the unique appearance of lenticular clouds."

    The Met Office says pilots avoid flying near the lenticular clouds as they can cause turbulence but some experienced glider pilots like them as it is a visual representation of where the air is rising.

    Flying saucer–shaped object filmed over São Paulo highway, Brazil but what was it?

    The footage was reportedly recorded by Michelli Azuma on December 25, 2025, at around 9:52 a.m., while traveling along the Anhanguera Highway near Campinas, São Paulo. 

     In the video, a disc-shaped object appears to glide across the sky at a seemingly high speed. Its movement stands out when compared to the witness’s vehicle, estimated to be traveling at roughly 100 km/h, making the object’s motion appear unusually fast and controlled. 
    As with many such sightings, questions quickly arise: is this a genuine unidentified flying object, or could it be a drone or another advanced, man-made aerial device.  
    That uncertainty is further amplified in an era of rapid artificial intelligence development, where distinguishing between authentic footage and fabricated or digitally altered content has become increasingly difficult. 
    In the modern UFO debate, the line between what is real and what is fake has never been more blurred but the rise of AI generated UFO videos doesn’t disprove UFOs, but it raises the bar for evidence and while many sightings are eventually explained, a small percentage remain unresolved.

    Message from UFO left in UK forest finally released after 40 years by Ministry of Defence

    Sergeant James W Penniston says a code was downloaded into his mind after touching a UFO in Suffolk 40 years ago - and it allegedly contains coordinates to ancient sites with a cryptic message

    By Emilia Randall GAU Writer

    Four decades ago, a Suffolk forest became the epicentre of an infamous UFO sighting that would not only mystify scientists for years to come but also send shockwaves through the United States Air Force (USAF).

    However, the secret code linked to this event would remain under wraps for many years. On 26 and 28 December, 1980, USAF security personnel reported witnessing an unusual orange light descending into the forest. Subsequently, RAF Woodbridge deputy base commander Lt Col Charles Halt penned a memo to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), detailing an encounter with what seemed to be a UFO in Rendlesham forest, as per BBC reports. One serviceman, Sergeant James W Penniston, alleged he came face-to-face with the mysterious craft in the forest. In his revealing book 'The Rendlesham Enigma: Book 1: Timeline', Penniston claims that after touching the unidentified object, a code was telepathically implanted into his mind.

    Nearly four decades post the incident, Penniston made the code public. The cryptic sequence purportedly includes coordinates leading to ancient sites and a message that some Reddit users interpret as a communication from future humans, reports the Daily Star.

    Penniston alleges his message read:

    Exploration of Humanity 666 8100.

    52.0942532N 13.131269W (Note: This coordinate might be inaccurately transcribed due to its pointing to the Atlantic Ocean, suggesting a possible error in the original message or its interpretation. ).

    USAF security policeman John Burroughs, who ventured out to examine the sighting, claimed he spotted a beacon deep within the woodland, flickering with green, red, orange and white lights before a brilliant white flash erupted and a crimson, oval, sun-like craft materialised in the clearing. The object soared above the treeline before shooting off at lightning speed. Burroughs, who dedicated 27 years to the US military, revealed: "It's been a crazy 40 years [since the encounter]. Just when you think the story is over, another thing happens."

    Some say the sighting remains unexplained

    Journalist and scholar Dr David Clarke, whose freedom of information requests resulted in the MoD releasing their Rendlesham files, insisted the initial encounter witnessed by USAF security personnel remains unexplained. "There is still an element of mystery. What happened to those three guys on the first night I still find baffling. Maybe they did see something that was inexplicable," he said. Ministry of Defence (MoD) official Simon Weeden declared the Rendlesham allegations were deemed to hold "no defence significance".

    Weeden, who departed the MoD in 1988, was the initial investigator of Lt Col Halt's memo. Weeden stated: "Nearly always the reports we got were from ordinary members of the public. This one was very unusual in that it came from a military source. Once we had been through all the basic checks and found there was nothing seen on radar - no obvious explanation, no obvious threat to air defence - we decided no further action was needed."

    The document says that the Rendlesham Forest ‘landing’ was ‘confirmed by the US unit commander and others’.

    It adds: ‘In both [Rendlesham Forest and Belgian] cases the UAP apparently did not use any conventional propulsion system and could hover as well as move at considerable speed.

    ‘The French have always had an interest in this topic … and I am aware that there is an informal intelligence grouping in the US.’

    We didn't find answers in 2025, but UFO researchers say the search continues

    We didn't find answers in 2025, but UFO researchers say the search continues

    Overview

    The year 2025 concluded without any definitive breakthroughs in unraveling the mystery of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs. Despite a flurry of activity—including congressional hearings, increased public reports, and a surge in academic interest—no concrete evidence emerged to resolve the most compelling cases. Researchers emphasize that the lack of resolution in 2025 does not signal abandonment but highlights the urgent need for more rigorous scientific methods and a cultural shift away from dismissiveness. Historically, the stigma attached to UFO research has greatly hampered scientific engagement; now, however, there's growing recognition that multidisciplinary, transparent approaches are essential for progress.

    The persistence of UAP mysteries underscores how complex and elusive these phenomena are. Governments, scientists, and private individuals agree that the phenomenon demands careful investigation, free from stereotypes, and requires better data collection infrastructure. With the right resources and an open scientific culture, the hope remains that some answers could be forthcoming in the years ahead.

    Recent Developments

    In the spring of 2025, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee held a highly publicized hearing dedicated specifically to UAP issues. Testimony was provided by former Pentagon officials involved in UAP programs, aerospace engineers, and intelligence analysts. For example, officials recounted witnessing objects that demonstrated extraordinary maneuvering capabilities—high-speed turns, low visibility, and silent flight—over restricted military airspace such as the Nevada Test and Training Range. Witnesses described observing objects seemingly defying known aeronautical physics, some rotating or accelerating rapidly without apparent propulsion. Interestingly, many of these encounters were corroborated by radar data and multiple sensor sources, lending credibility to the reports.

    Despite the compelling testimony, the committee’s final report concluded that “the data currently available are insufficient to determine the nature or intent of these phenomena.” This pointed to gaps in sensor resolution, inconsistent data collection methods, and the absence of a systematic analytical framework. As a result, the government maintained a cautious stance, neither confirming nor dismissing the phenomena outright. The hearing's significance lay in its acknowledgment of the phenomena’s reality and the importance of scientific rigor in investigation.

    Parallel to the congressional efforts, civilian reporting platforms experienced a significant uptick in sightings, especially near sensitive military and government sites. Sightings near the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is heavily monitored for nuclear testing, increased by 27%. Other hotspots included the Pacific Missile Range Facility and sites in California and Florida. The increased reporting underscores growing public concern and curiosity, but also accentuates the need for detailed, high-quality sensor data. Defense analysts noted that many reports lacked high-resolution imagery or radar data necessary for scientific validation, impairing the ability to distinguish between natural atmospheric phenomena and potentially engineered objects.

    Ongoing Research Initiatives

    Recognizing the data scarcity problem, two initiatives gained prominence in 2025 as systematic efforts to collect high-quality observational data. The first is the Galileo Project, founded by Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb. Modeled initially on the detection protocols used for exoplanet discovery, the project deploys an extensive network of optical and radio telescopes designed to capture fleeting aerial events. Its aim is to observe UAP with repeatability, precision, and scientific scrutiny. For instance, during a recent campaign, the project observed a rapid, bright flash in the night sky that later proved to be natural: a rare atmospheric lightning event termed "sprites." Such incidents demonstrate the project’s capacity to differentiate natural atmospheric events from anomalies.

    Complementing Galileo, the AllSkyCAM Consortium, led by atmospheric scientist Dr. Emily B. Wilson at the University of Arizona, installed over 200 low-cost, wide-field cameras across the United States. These cameras operate continuously, streaming data to an open-access repository. The system’s software employs machine learning algorithms to automatically flag unusual light signatures, such as abrupt flickering or unusual colorings, which could indicate an anomalous aerial object. Wilson explains, “Our goal is democratizing data collection; by sharing raw data openly, we reduce reliance on anecdotal accounts and enable scientists worldwide to test hypotheses about UAP origin and behavior.” This collaborative approach broadens the scientific community’s ability to analyze phenomena with high transparency.

    While preliminary datasets have been shared in scientific journals like Physical Review Letters and Astronomy & Astrophysics, no definitive conclusions have emerged yet. However, the importance of transparency and standardization in methodology marks a departure from previous secrecy-driven efforts, fostering broader scientific engagement and validation.

    Challenges: Stigma and Funding

    Despite promising developments, researchers confront significant obstacles rooted primarily in cultural stigma and limited funding. Historically, the topic has been dismissed as fringe or pseudoscience, leading to reluctance among mainstream scientists to participate or seek research grants. A 2025 survey conducted by the Center for Scientific Inquiry into UAP (“CSIU”) found that 68% of physicists view UAP research as “fringe,” and many are wary of associating with the field due to fear of reputational damage or skepticism from peers.

    Funding remains scarce, with federal agencies allocating limited resources—roughly $12 million from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for UAP-specific research in FY 2025. By comparison, satellite surveillance programs receiving military and intelligence support alone amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars. Private philanthropy has played a role; the Galileo Project received a $5 million endowment from the X-Prize Foundation, and AllSkyCAM secured a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Emerging Frontiers program. Nonetheless, these resources are short-term and insufficient for sustained, longitudinal research needed to distinguish rare natural phenomena—such as unusual atmospheric optics, rare meteorological conditions, or rare biological effects—from potential engineered objects capable of advanced flight.

    The stigma deters many talented scientists from engaging with the field, fearing professional ostracism or ridicule. Dr. Mark S. Patel of CSIU warns that this environment of marginalization hampers scientific progress. He emphasizes that increasing open dialogue and integrating UAP research into the broader scientific framework can help overcome these barriers.

    Outlook for 2026

    Looking ahead, cautious optimism emerges within the research community. The Department of Defense announced plans in early 2026 to establish a UAP Data Integration Office, tasked with standardizing sensor data formats and encouraging cooperation across military branches and civilian agencies. This move aims to create a cohesive operational environment for tracking and analyzing aerial anomalies in real time.

    On the international level, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has convened a working group to develop standardized guidelines for reporting aerial anomalies—an approach akin to the protocols used for meteoritic and atmospheric research. These steps could enable a more systematic, scientifically rigorous approach to UAP data collection and analysis, elevating the field from anecdotal evidence to credible scientific inquiry.

    Moreover, technological advancements—such as deploying larger, more sensitive telescopes, space-based observatories, and machine learning-enabled data processing—may dramatically improve detection capabilities. As researcher Dr. Avi Loeb pointed out, “We are at the beginning of turning curiosity into a testable science. The current limitations are substantial but addressable with the right institutional support and technological innovation.”

    In sum, 2026 could be a pivotal year for UAP research, provided that institutional reforms, increased funding, and cultural shifts continue to evolve. The scientific community remains committed to the pursuit of truth, acknowledging that the path remains uncertain but promising. The journey to understand these mysterious phenomena continues—perhaps not in answering all questions, but in refining the questions we ask and the methods we use to seek their answers.

    Pope 'preparing' for first contact with aliens this year, says UFO researcher

    British filmmaker says he has been given 'rare access' to the Vatican's secret archives and that the Church is getting ready for ET

    BY Ashley Pemberton - News Reporter and Daniel Smith

    VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - MAY 08: Newly elected Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, greets the faithful as he appears from the Central Loggia of St. Peter's Square on May 08, 2025 in Vatican City, Vatican. Cardinals of the Catholic Church have descended on Vatican City to commence the papal conclave, the secretive voting process held in the Sistine Chapel that requires a two-thirds majority to elect the new leader of the Catholic Church.

    A British documentary maker claims the Vatican could be bracing itself for the prospect of an extraterrestrial encounter, with the Pope potentially addressing "first contact" with aliens in the coming year.

    UFO researcher Mark Christopher Lee claims to have secured "rare access" to the Vatican's confidential archives and is investigating historical accounts of unexplained occurrences that may shed light on humanity's interaction with alien civilisations.

    He suggests the Catholic Church is already contemplating the theological and spiritual ramifications of discovering extraterrestrial life.

    Lee explained: "I've been given rare access to the Vatican's secret archives. I'll be looking for any historical references to unexplained phenomena, spiritual encounters, or anything that could shed light on humanity's possible contact with intelligent life beyond Earth.

    "If we are close to confirming intelligent life beyond Earth, no institution will feel the shockwaves more than the Catholic Church.", reports the Daily Star.

    "The new Pope could become the first spiritual leader in history to address First Contact - and I intend to find out how prepared the Church really is."

    He questioned: "Could the Church have been quietly preparing for this moment all along - and what might the new Pope reveal when the truth is finally confronted?"

    In his latest documentary God Vs Aliens, Lee contends that UFO encounters and paranormal events are connected, and maintains the Church may be considerably more receptive to the existence of extraterrestrials than most people realise.

    Lee said: "Faith and prophecy have always guided humanity. Now, with UFO disclosure and global interest at an all-time high, these forces are converging in a way that has never happened before. 2026 could be the year everything changes."

    Vatican astronomers have historically maintained that the existence of extraterrestrial life wouldn't contradict Christian faith. Back in 2008, Father Gabriel Funes suggested that intelligent beings created by God might exist beyond Earth.

    In an article for the Vatican newspaper, he wrote: "Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures over the earth, so there could be other beings, even intelligent (beings), created by God.

    "This is not in contradiction with our faith, because we cannot establish limits to God's creative freedom. To say it with St Francis, if we can consider some earthly creatures as 'brothers' or 'sisters', why could we not speak of a 'brother alien'? He would also belong to the creation."

    More recently, Pope Leo XIV's newly appointed astronomer revealed he would be willing to baptise an alien, describing extraterrestrials as "children of God."

    Father Richard D'Souza, who currently heads the Vatican Observatory near Rome, argued that theology would need to "reimagine itself" should humanity ever encounter intelligent life. He said: "They are all part of God's creation. The question would be how to reach them or how they would reach us."

    EXCLUSIVE - The five unsolved mysteries of 2025 that captivated the world... from a UFO surviving a hellfire missile to a 'vast city' under Egypt's pyramids

    By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR

    As 2025 comes to a close, several mysteries that left the world in stunned disbelief still have yet to be fully explained.

    The past 12 months have read like a science-fiction novel, with thousands of UFOs swarming over the US East Coast, an interstellar visitor invading our solar system, and the potential discovery of giant columns under the Egyptian pyramids.

    Moreover, scientists and government officials have been unable to disprove all of the wild theories surrounding many of these jaw-dropping events, including one respected scientist's claim that the giant space rock 3I/ATLAS may be an alien craft.

    This roller-coaster year actually got off to a running start with the mysterious appearance of drone swarms over the US starting in late 2024, including over then-candidate for president Donald Trump's golf course in New Jersey.

    1. The New Jersey drone sightings 

    The bizarre drone sightings along the East Coast started in November 2024, with hundreds of people issuing reports to the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) tracking website Enigma Labs before 2025 even began.

    Once the new year rang in, the concerning sightings continued, causing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to put a temporary ban on flying drones in 22 New Jersey towns in January.

    The ban did little to stop the sightings, with many Americans spotting 'car-sized drones' making no noise as they invaded the airspace of local military bases and Trump's property.

    On his first day back in the Oval Office, Trump said he would start investigating the mysterious drone activity and put his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, on the case. 

    Thousands of reports of large, silent drones (Pictured) over New Jersey and sensitive sights along the East Coast started in November 2024 and carried into 2025

    The eventual reveal by the White House raised more questions than answers, as the president declared that the drones were 'not the enemy' and had been authorized by the US government to conduct 'research.'

    In fact, the FAA failed to mention that drones had been cleared to conduct this alleged research and claimed the objects were 'lawful commercial drones and helicopters.'

    To this day, the origin of the drone swarms, their targets over New Jersey and the rest of the East Coast, and their research remain a mystery.

    However, an unnamed private firm contracted by the US military eventually took responsibility for the mysterious drone swarms, claiming they were conducting tests of their advanced aerial craft, according to off-the-record comments at an Army summit in August 2025.

    2. The Buga sphere

    Just weeks after the US drone swarm crisis, an alleged alien probe in South America was not only caught on video, but was recovered from a crash site in Colombia.

    Named the Buga sphere, after the city it flew over in March, the strange hovering object was seen striking a power line and landing in a field, where local David Velez el Potro found it and refused to hand it over to the Colombian government.

    Scientists who examined the alleged space probe found that it contained a maze of fiber-optic wires and emitted some form of energy that killed the soil and grass it touched and made people sick.

    It was also covered in symbols that researchers compared to ancient scripts, including runes, Ogham, and Mesopotamian writing systems - although some skeptical scientists have dismissed the object as an elaborate art project.

    The Buga Sphere (Pictured) was recovered by local residents in Colombia in March and has been in the care of scientists in Mexico ever since

    Eventually, the Buga sphere was taken to Mexico City for further study by ufologists and other scientists. 

    In June, Dr Steven Greer, an American ufologist and retired physician, claimed on X that 'fake policemen' attempted to enter the vault where the suspected UFO was being kept.

    Since then, little information has been released about the Buga sphere, which researchers have called the first UFO recovered by private citizens and solely controlled by non-government scientists.

    3. Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS

    In the summer of 2025, another alleged alien visitor quickly moved into our solar system, marking only the third recorded object to enter our system from elsewhere in the cosmos.

    The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was discovered in early July, with most astronomers quickly moving to declare the visitor a comet, a fast-moving ice ball from a distant solar system.

    NASA and the European Space Agency have both declared 3I/ATLAS a comet, but have been criticized for their lack of high-quality images of the space rock compared to photos taken by amateurs using backyard telescopes. 

    Moreover, esteemed Harvard physicist Avi Loeb pointed out that the object was no ordinary comet, revealing at least 12 different abnormalities that suggested that the three-mile-long object may have been artificially created by an alien intelligence.

    Those clues included having a comet's tail which is facing in the wrong direction of the sun, known as an anti-tail, suggesting the stream is actually exhaust from an engine that's guiding the object through space.

    'There are still many unresolved anomalies of 3I/ATLAS. Each of these anomalies has less than a percent random chance and no explanation so far,' Loeb told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

    Loeb added that there's still more time to find out the true origins of 3I/ATLAS, which will pass Jupiter on March 16, 2026.

    It has strangely shifted its course to perfectly align with the Lagrange points of Jupiter, a 'parking spot' in space where the gravity of the sun and Jupiter cancel each other out, so the object is not pulled apart.

    'It would be interesting to check whether 3I/ATLAS releases any devices as satellites at the Lagrange points,' Loeb added.

    4. 'Vast city' under Egypt's Giza pyramids

    A discovery that has been unfolding all year may rewrite the origins of the ancient Egyptians forever. 

    In March, Italian researchers claimed to have uncovered 'a vast underground city' which stretches more than 4,000 feet directly underneath the Pyramids of Giza, making them 10 times larger than the pyramids themselves.

    The bombshell claim, which many experts claim to have already debunked, came from a study that used radar pulses to create high-resolution images deep into the ground beneath the structures, the same way sonar radar is used to map the depths of the ocean.

    In July, the same team identified a colossal vertical shaft leading to two chambers below the Sphinx.

    While mainstream archaeologists have slammed the work as unscientific and speculative, the team insists their latest scans point to something extraordinary.

    However, the physical proof that these structures really exist has not been presented yet, and answers to what their mysterious purpose may have been did not come in 2025.

    Heading into 2026, the research team is hoping to receive permission to dig under both major structures to find traces of the hidden city. They've also submitted a formal proposal for non-invasive access, such as clearing existing shafts at the site.

    Scientists used advanced technology to see beneath the three pyramids at Giza, finding evidence of a 'vast underground city' beneath

    5. US government weighs UFO and alien disclosure

    This year also brought multiple bombshells when it comes to the discussion over UFOs and extraterrestrial life, with the US government reportedly moving closer than ever before to full disclosure of classified reports on aliens.

    In September, a panel of US military veterans testified before Congress as whistleblowers into the activities of secret government programs that allegedly had proof that UFOs and extraterrestrials were real.

    In one shocking video, the public was shown a US military drone actually firing a Hellfire missile at a UFO, only to see the weapon harmlessly bounce off the extremely advanced craft. 

    Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri revealed video of a US military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO with a missile, which bounced off and did not stop the craft

    Since the hearing, Vice President JD Vance doubled down on a promise to 'get to the bottom of' the existence of alien life.

    In November, a bombshell documentary called 'The Age of Disclosure' was released, which interviewed a plethora of high-ranking government officials, detailing the alleged 80-year global cover-up of alien life and the technology humans have created using pieces of crashed UFOs.

    While the US military has maintained that America has no evidence aliens or UFOs exist, the odds of President Trump revealing what he knows about the topic suddenly skyrocketed in December, leading experts to believe full public disclosure is just days away.

    The 10 Most Legitimate Cases of U.F.O. Sightings

    By: Kevin Saltarelli  

    History doesn’t believe or disbelieve in UFOs. There are a handful of UFO sightings documented by Roman historians from around 2,000 years ago, but they seem about as credible as the existence of Zeus. More than 95 percent of all UFO sightings can be easily dismissed as military aircraft, stars, planets, meteors, flares, weather balloons and manmade hoaxes. The remaining five percent make governors, pilots, military officials and other sane and credible people rub their eyes and scratch their heads in disbelief. Despite all attempts to be rational, some flying objects haven’t been properly identified. Here is our list of the 10 most legitimate UFO sightings.

    Contents
    1. Hudson Valley UFO Wave
    2. Shag Harbour UFO incident
    3. Westall UFO
    4. Anchorage, Alaska
    5. Chicago O'Hare International Airport
    6. Alderney UFO Sighting
    7. The Belgian UFO Wave
    8. Cash-Landrum Incident
    9. Rendlesham Forest Incident
    10. The Phoenix Lights

    10. Hudson Valley UFO Wave

    Between 1982 and 1986, around 5,000 eyewitnesses reported seeing V-shaped UFOs with multicolored lights flying near the Hudson Valley, just one hour north of New York City. The first sighting was made on New Year’s Eve 1982, by a retired police officer in Kent, New York. The former officer initially thought that he was observing an airplane. When the craft passed above his home, he realized that it was moving far too slowly and quietly to be an airplane.

    While most of the eyewitnesses described a slow-moving V-shaped UFO, other reports said the object appeared to be circular and capable of moving at fantastic speeds or disappearing altogether. During one sighting, the UFO hovered about 30 feet above the Indian Point Nuclear Plant. The security supervisor was considering shooting the craft down before it disappeared from sight. Despite eyewitness reports and photographic evidence, the phenomenon was never properly explained.

    9. Shag Harbour UFO incident

    The Shag Harbour UFO is Canada’s equivalent of the Roswell UFO in the United States. On October 4, 1967, an unknown object crashed into the water near the tiny fishing village of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. At least 11 people watched the object as it headed towards the harbor. Multiple witnesses heard a whistling sound and a loud bang as it crashed into the water. Shortly afterwards, Laurie Wickens and four of his friends contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after they spotted a large object floating in the Atlantic Ocean about a 1,000 feet from shore.

    The RCMP, the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force became involved in an unsuccessful recovery effort. The investigation revealed that all commercial, private and military aircraft along the eastern seaboard were accounted for. The Navy combed the seafloor of the Gulf of Maine, but found no trace of the object.

    8. Westall UFO

    Around 11:00 am on April 6, 1966, an unexplained flying object flew around Westall High School in Melbourne, Australia. More than 200 students and several teachers watched the UFO as it descended into a nearby field. Eyewitnesses watched the craft hovering around the school for approximately 20 minutes. The object was described as being a grey saucer-shaped object that was about twice the size of a family car.

    There were no commercial, private or Royal Australian Air Force planes in the area at the time. It was suggested that a weather balloon may have been responsible for the confusion, but eyewitnesses quickly dismissed the explanation. The Australian Skeptics suggested that the object was an experimental military craft similar to the nylon target drogues that were towed by RAAF planes at the time, but the Air Force reported that they were not in the airspace at the time of the incident.

    7. Anchorage, Alaska

    On November 18, 1986, a Japanese Boeing 747 cargo aircraft was followed for nearly an hour by an unidentified flying object. The crew witnessed two objects while flying over eastern Alaska. As the objects got closer to the plane, the cabin was lit up and filled with a strange heat. As these two objects flew away, a much larger disc-shaped craft emerged from the darkness and started to follow the 747. Captain Terauchi contacted Anchorage Air Traffic Control and requested a change of course. The UFO followed the plane despite any of the captain’s maneuvers.

    All of the data, including ground radar that captured the unidentified craft, was collected and presented at a meeting with the FBI and the CIA. After reviewing all of the material, the government officials decided that this was the first radar recording of a UFO; however, they insist that their meeting never took place.

    6. Chicago O'Hare International Airport

    On November 7, 2006, a metallic saucer-shaped craft was seen hovering over the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. Jon Hilkevitch from the Chicago Tribune reportedly said, “The disc was visible for approximately two minutes and was seen by close to a dozen United Airlines employees, ranging from pilots to supervisors.” The object apparently shot straight up and carved a visible circular hole through the clouds.

    The Federal Aviation Administration initially claimed that they didn’t have any information about the sighting. The Chicago Tribune then filed a Freedom of Information Act request, which uncovered recorded conversations concerning the UFO. The FAA suggested that the sighting was the result of a weather phenomenon called a hole punch cloud, but the temperatures that day make this explanation impossible. Then the FAA said that airport lights were responsible for the sighting, but the lights hadn’t been turned on yet. A proper investigation was never conducted.

    5. Alderney UFO Sighting

    Captain Ray Bowyer was flying a routine 45-minute flight from Southampton, England, on April 23, 2007, when he and his passengers saw two UFOs as they approached Alderney. The Jersey Airport Radar Control recorded the two large yellow cigar-shaped objects for over 55 minutes. Another pilot, flying a plane near Sark, also confirmed the presence and location of these mysterious crafts. BBC Radio Guernsey also reported that visitors in a hotel in Sark had noticed and enquired about the two bright yellow objects in the sky.

    During an an address to the U.S. National Press Club on November 12, 2007, Captain Bowyer said, “The British Civil Aviation Authority knew within 20 minutes of the sighting what was seen, as described in a flight log, and faxed directly to the relevant CAA office.” Despite the pilot’s openness about the incident, the cooperation of the military, and countless eyewitness reports from passengers and people on the ground, the incident remains a complete mystery.

    4. The Belgian UFO Wave

    Between November of 1989 and April of 1990, thousands of people reportedly witnessed triangular UFOs flying over various parts of Belgium. On multiple occasions the Belgian officials even tracked these objects using radar.

    During the evening of March 30, 1990, an estimated 13,500 people watched as the UFOs were chased by two F-16s. Over the course of an hour, the two F-16s made nine attempts to intercept the UFOs and were able to make a radar lock with their targets. During one of the radar locks, the UFO accelerated from 150 mph to over 1,100 mph while changing altitude from 9,000 feet to 5,000 feet in a matter of seconds. After his retirement, Major General Wilfried de Brouwer wrote in a statement that “The Belgian UFO wave was exceptional and the Air Force could not identify the nature, origin and intentions of the reported phenomena.” The Belgian objects have still never been explained.

    3. Cash-Landrum Incident

    On December 29, 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and Colby Landrum saw 23 unidentified helicopters surrounding a huge diamond-shaped object that was hovering above the trees. The object emitted such tremendous heat that the outside of the car was painful to touch and a handprint was seared into the softened vinyl interior. A Dayton police officer, Detective Lamar Walker, and his wife also claimed to have seen helicopters near the same area.

    After the incident, the group suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, and terrible burning sensations. Betty Cash developed painful blisters on her skin, lost clumps of hair and was unable to walk. A radiologist examined the group and concluded that they were all suffering from secondary damage from ionizing radiation. They sued the U.S government for $20 million, but the case was dismissed in 1986. Some people still believe that the government covered up its involvement in the incident.

    2. Rendlesham Forest Incident

    A UFO was observed on December 26, 1980, in England’s Rendlesham Forest near the Royal Air Force station in Woodbridge. After witnessing some unexplained lights, several Air Force personnel, including Lieutenant Colonel Charles I. Halt, decided to head into the woods to get a closer look. They were expecting to find a plane crash. Instead, according to Halt’s memo, they saw a glowing metallic object that moved at a phenomenal speed through the forest.

    The next day, servicemen returned to the site and found triangular shaped impressions on the ground, broken branches on the trees and radiation readings that were ten times the normal background level. In 2010, retired Lieutenant Halt signed a notarized affidavit that summarized the incident and accused the U.S. and England of a cover up. While some believe it was a hoax or a fallen Soviet satellite, others think this was a legitimate UFO sighting.

    1. The Phoenix Lights

    A huge V-shaped UFO reportedly passed over Phoenix around 8:15 pm on the evening of March 13, 1997. The object was described as having five spherical lights and was large enough to block out the stars as it flew overhead. People from various locations across Arizona, including Phoenix, reported seeing the V-shaped UFO moving silently across the sky.

    Around 10:00 pm that evening, the U.S. Air Force dropped slow falling military grade flares into the sky. The media captured video of the military exercise believing that it was connected to the UFO sightings. Some people think that the military deliberately filled the sky with lights to discredit the UFO sightings made earlier in the evening. Former Arizona Governor Fife Symington III later said, “I can definitively say that this craft did not resemble any man-made object I’d ever seen. And it was certainly not high-altitude flares because flares don’t fly in formation.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • How are UFO sightings investigated and verified?
    UFO sightings are investigated and verified through a combination of eyewitness reports, radar data, video or photographic evidence, and, in some cases, physical traces left at the sighting location. Investigations may involve government or military officials, aviation experts and ufologists. Credible sightings often undergo rigorous scrutiny to rule out conventional explanations such as aircraft, weather phenomena or celestial objects.
    • What common characteristics define the most credible UFO sightings?
    Common characteristics of the most credible UFO sightings include multiple reliable witnesses, corroboration by radar or other technical means, visual documentation and the inability to attribute the sighting to known aircraft or natural phenomena. These sightings also typically involve unusual flight characteristics or patterns that cannot be explained by current technology or natural explanations.

    Alien 'Hoaxes' That Went Viral From Roswell's Flying Saucers to Mexican & Australian X-Files

    By SPYSCAPE

    When it comes to aliens, the truth is out there... just not necessarily on YouTube, TikTok or Facebook. 

    Both the CIA and the Pentagon have released information on ‘unidentified’ flying objects, however, so The X-Files enthusiasts can be forgiven for acting a bit smug these days. We examine 10 of the world’s top alien ‘hoaxes’, searching for signs of intelligence.‍

    1. Dead alien found after UFO sighting in Russia ‍

    Two Russian men were out for a walk in 2011 when they came across what appeared to be a frozen corpse in the snowy countryside near Irkutsk, in eastern Siberia. But this wasn’t just any old corpse – it was an alien, or was it? Only a month earlier, villagers swore they’d seen bright orange lights in the sky. Could the two incidents be related? Perhaps there had been an extraterrestrial crash? Nyet. More than 12m people viewed the YouTube video and police investigated. It was at this point the men sheepishly confessed: they’d actually made the ‘alien’ out of breadcrumbs and stuffed it into chicken skin as a practical joke. 

    2. New Jersey spacecraft stops traffic

    A large, threatening spacecraft crept slowly across New Jersey’s sky in 2020 and it wasn’t long before the Twitter and TikTok videos went viral. The extraterrestrial ship with blue flashing lights slowed traffic on the turnpike – some people even got out of their cars to take a better look. Turns out, a Goodyear blimp was passing over New Jersey at the time, getting an aerial television shot of an NFL game at the MetLife Stadium, just west of New York City. And yes, the blimp came in peace. 

    3. UFO visits India‍

    A ‘spaceship’ hovering precariously close to buildings in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, created panic in 2016, with photos of the large object spreading feverishly. The UFO photographer quickly disappeared (beamed up?) and the cell phone number couldn’t ever be traced. Despite the mystery, experts decided the UFO was probably created by an app, noting it bore a striking resemblance to a UFO in the movie Independence Day. 

    4. UFOs terrify Haiti

    An eerie, realistic home video captured 'UFOs' soaring over Haiti in 2007. A woman can be heard gasping. A dog barks. Surely the video must be real? A second video from the Dominican Republic seemed to provide independent corroboration. The Los Angeles Times decided to track down the videographer and others who immediately re-posted the ‘evidence’ and got a swift response from barzolff814 – aka Heather, a 17-year-old Irish girl who’d racked up 2.2m YouTube hits (now 20m!): “Umm yeah. Whatever. You people are stupid. Find something better to do with your time. And get a life.” The Times finally found the source, a professional animator who’d spent 17 hours creating the UFO videos on his MacBook and didn’t want to reveal his name. It seems the animator was just testing his work, thinking he might get a few likes... ‍

    5. Six ‘spaceships’ land in England

    Wiltshire in southwest England has always been a draw for the alien conspiracists – it is, after all, the home of the legendary Stonehenge, multiple crop circles and a UFO hotspot since the 17th century. But even the locals were astounded when six UFOs landed in Wiltshire, London and four other locations across England in 1967, bleeping, hissing and triggering a major police and military response. The hoax was conjured up by the engineer apprentices at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (later part of the Ministry of Defense) who scattered them overnight. The pranksters wanted to know if the government had a plan if aliens invaded. The Army responded by blowing up one saucer, dropping another and brushing themselves off when one imploded. Police decided not to take action against the apprentices, with one officer saying authorities were “taking it like gentlemen”.

    ‍

    6. Australia’s X-Files

    Melbourne’s Kelly and Andrew Cahill said they were driving in August 1993 when they spotted a weird object in the sky with circular orange lights, but that isn’t the shocking part of the story. The couple said they were abducted by tall, skinny aliens with red eyes who burned a triangle into the skin around Kelly’s navel.

    The couple ‘awoke’ in their car having lost an hour’s time. “I felt this blow to my stomach and went flying in the air and I heard my husband say ‘Let go of me’, and this male voice that said, 'I mean you no harm'," she told journalists. The Cahills’ story was such a sensation it was mentioned by agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) on The X-Files. Ms Cahill published a bestselling book, did the rounds of the talk shows, then went quiet. The UFO experts at Phenomena Research Australia (PRA) investigated the claims and compiled a 300-page report. In 2020, 27 years after the ‘abduction’, PRA said they were considering releasing their findings - just not any time soon.‍

    7. Canada’s closest encounter

    Canada has big skies and plenty of land so it should be fertile ground for an alien landing. In May, 1967, amateur geologist Stefan Michalak was prospecting in Manitoba when he spotted two glowing objects. One of the silver crafts landed and Michalak said he had a look inside at the blinking lights.

    The craft took off quickly, knocking him on his back, and an opening appeared in the upper portion of the 35-foot disc that hissed and smelled of sulfur. (Luckily, the craft hovered long enough for Michalak to sketch the spaceship above). The UFO spotter became ill afterwards, displaying signs of a radiation burn. Years later, a twisted piece of metal was recovered from the site, which was radioactive. Was it a hoax, military test or an alien landing? Neither Canadian nor the US military have been able to explain the event. Tour guides swear it was a UFO sighting, however, and include it on their trips. The Royal Canadian Mint has even issued a commemorative silver coin that retails for $129.95. The one-ounce coin comes with a black light that can be shone on the currency to reveal a yellowish blast resembling the one that (supposedly) burned Michalak.

    ‍

    8. South Korea is a UFO magnet

    ‍For a small country, South Korea has a lot of extraterrestrial activity. There have been sightings of ‘Tic Tac’ UFOs (bullet-shaped spacecraft with no wings) and videos showing discs with domed tops hovering over cities and mountain ranges. South Korea’s military took UFO reports rather more seriously in 2019, however, when radar detected ‘traces of flight by an unidentified object’ heading across the frontier from North Korea. Jet fighters were scrambled. Helicopters buzzed over the demilitarized zone separating north and south. Former US president Donald Trump was in the region to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, so the world’s media covered the updates in real time. The frenzy ended minutes later with an announcement from the US Joint Chiefs of Staff: the UFO was a flock of about 20 birds.‍

    9. Mexico’s Mulder

    There have been so many UFO sightings at Volcán Popocatépetl, Mexico's largest volcano, it has a UFO-spotting camera trained on it 24-7. 'Spaceships' have been seen floating behind it, hovering above, flirting with the flames and even flying directly into its mouth. So it should come as no surprise that UFO-mad Mexico also has its own celebrity UFO-ologist, Jaime Maussan. Maussan visited Peru in 2017, hoping to analyze mummies discovered near the UNESCO World Heritage Nazca Lines (there’s speculation aliens created the lines too).

    At least one of Peru’s mummified bodies apparently had an elongated skull and hands with only three fingers, so Maussan teamed up with a TV crew to gather evidence of alien life. Unfortunately, the alien theory was debunked. Snopes, the fact-checking website, pointed out that the website that streamed Maussan’s documentary charges just under $100 a year for videos about alien abductions, crop circles and contact with angels.

    10. Roswell, New Mexico’s flying saucer

    ‍The Roswell Daily Record newspaper headline was clear: ‘RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region’. It was July 8, 1947, and the Roswell UFO was the best evidence so far that aliens existed. At first, the Roswell Army Air Field announced that a flying disk had landed on a ranch in a thunderstorm but then changed the story, calling it a ‘weather balloon’. In fact, a rancher may have gathered debris related to a classified US military project to detect atomic bomb tests in the Soviet Union, but that information wasn’t immediately released. UFO believers suspected a cover-up. More than 40 years after the crash, an ex-mortician named Glenn Dennis remained adamant that a Roswell Army nurse had walked in on doctors who were bent over three creatures with small frames and huge, bald heads. (Dennis ran Roswell’s International UFO Museum at the time.) Roswell now hosts a UFO festival and science fiction ‘Galacticon’ celebration each July, inviting visitors from around the world to decide for themselves.

    Alien Encounters: Five Shocking UFO Space Secrets & Cover-up Claims

    By SPYSCAPE

    When former US Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch testified about mysterious alien landings and a covert 'multi-decade' UFO program in July 2023, he sparked a heated debate - is the US really hiding intel on aliens and spacecraft?

    We’re "not bringing little green men or flying saucers into the hearing,” Republican Tim Burchett said. “We're just going to get to the facts.” 

    The congressional committee heard from three witnesses in all: Grusch, former US Navy commanding officer David Fravor, and former Navy pilot Ryan Graves. Buckle up for a cosmic shockwave as we delve into the five most memorable moments from the head-spinning hearing.

    1. ‘Non-human’ bodies were recovered from a UFO crash site

    Whistleblower David Charles Grusch testified under oath at a national security subcommittee hearing that 'non-human biologics’ were found at an alleged UFO crash site. In a remarkable exchange, South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace asked Grusch to elaborate on his knowledge of ‘non-terrestrial bodies’ and ‘biologics’ to which Grusch responded: "Biologics came with some of these recoveries."
    ‍
    Were they human or non-human? "Non-human, and that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to," Grusch said.

    Separately, he confirmed he had not personally seen alien bodies or aircraft but based his testimony on compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation, and classified testimony. Grusch said he interviewed 40 witnesses over four years.

    In this image from video provided by the Department of Defense labeled Gimbal, from 2015, an unexplained object is seen at center as it is tracked as it soars high along the clouds, traveling against the wind. “There's a whole fleet of them,” one naval aviator tells another, though only one indistinct object is shown. “It's rotating."
    (Department of Defense via AP)‍

    Grusch: US aware of non-human intel in the ‘30s

    Who is David Grusch? For 14 years, Grusch was an intelligence officer in the US Air Force at the rank of Major and, from 2021-2023, a civilian at the National-Geospatial Intelligence Agency with the military equivalent rank of a full-bird Colonel. He was previously the Agency’s co-lead in UAP - Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena - as well as reporting to UAP Task Force and All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

    2. The Pentagon is hiding evidence of alien spacecraft from Congress

    The US government is accused of conducting a ‘multi-decade’ program that collected and attempted to reverse-engineer crashed UFOs. Grusch also claimed the Pentagon is hiding evidence of alien spacecraft from Congress which he described as “non-human origin technical vehicles”.

    Furthermore, Grusch said that while he was on the intelligence community’s task force, he became aware of secret US government programs in charge of unsanctioned technological research related to UFOs.

    He explained that much of the information is classified and responded several times: “I can’t discuss that in an open session.”

    The Pentagon’s view: In a statement, the Pentagon said it hasn’t discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently”.

    3. US employees who come forward about UFOs and government practices are punished‍

    Grusch, who filed a whistleblowing claim two months before the heading, said he had support from colleagues but was also subjected to reprisal: "I do have knowledge of active, planned, reprisal activity against myself and other colleagues."

    Grusch said the blowback is coming from 'certain senior leadership at previous agencies I was associated with.' He described some of the behavior as ‘administrative terrorism’ including threats to his colleagues’ career paths. He offered to provide further details in a ‘closed environment’ such as a SCIF - a secure, sound-proofed room where officials with security clearances can examine sensitive intel.

    Burchett asked if Grushch had personal knowledge of people who have been harmed or injured in efforts to cover up or conceal extraterrestrial technology. “Yes,” Grusch replied.

    “Anyone been murdered that you would - that you know of or have heard of?” Burchett added.

    “I have to be careful asking that question,” Grusch responded. “I directed people with that knowledge to the appropriate authorities.”

    Asked at one point where the committee could find corroborating information about possible cover-ups, Grusch said he could not answer but encouraged the committee to thoroughly investigate: “As I stand here under oath now, I am speaking to the facts as I have been told

    4. UFOs pose a national security threat

    Representative Glenn Grothman asked if the witnesses believed UAPs - Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena - posed a threat to US national security.

    ufo

    On Aug. 4, 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense approved the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force (UAPTF). "The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security," according to the DoD website. 

    HowStuffWorks

    “Yes," former US Navy Commander David Fravor responded. "The technology that we faced was far superior than anything that we had. If you had one, you captured one, you reverse engineered it, you got it to work.” 

    Representative Robert Garcia told the bipartisan committee that more reports should be encouraged: "UAPs, whatever they be, may pose a serious threat to our military and our civilian aircraft, and that must be understood.

    5. US Navy pilots David Fravor and Ryan Graves say they've personally seen UFOs

    David Fravor, a former commanding officer in the US Navy, and former Navy pilot Ryan Graves have previously gone public with allegations about UFOs but it was breathtaking to hear their first-hand accounts at the House Oversight Committee hearing.

    Regarding a 2004 incident, Fravor (pictured right) described a UFO caught on camera that resembled a Tic Tac breath mint: “As all four looked down we saw a small white Tic Tac-shaped object with the longitudinal axis pointing N/S and moving very abruptly over the white water. There were no rotors, No rotor wash, or any visible flight control surfaces like wings,” he testified. “This Tic Tac object… was far superior in performance to my brand new F/A-18F and did not operate with any of the known aerodynamic principles that we expect.”

    Graves (pictured left), a former F-18 pilot, said that in 2014 - after the radar system was upgraded - he saw a craft without exhaust plumes or a visible engine ‘almost daily’ flying over the East Coast.

    He added that at one point two jets were forced to make evasive maneuvers to avoid a ‘dark gray cube inside of a clear sphere’ that stood motionless against the wind.

    Graves' squadron submitted a safety report, but there was no official acknowledgment of the incident.

    “Over time, UAP sightings became an open secret among our aircrew,” Graves testified. “They were a common occurrence, seen by most of my colleagues on radar and occasionally up close. The sightings were so frequent that they became part of daily briefs.”

    What’s Up with the New Spielberg Movie?

    By Bob Spearing - MUFON Director of International Development


    Anyone who knows anyone aware of anything happening on UFO Street right now knows that Steven Spielberg is re-entering the UFO movie field after several decades, following his monumental successes with ET and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But why now?

    Personally, I think Close Encounters is a monumental Hollywood success and sucked me into this community based on my own personal experiences that Spielberg seemed to understand. But why now?! Indeed! I certainly don't want to give Spielberg free press here because I don't know his motives apart from the fact that he needs to make money for the studio.

    It will undoubtedly be a mega-blockbuster.

    It will also skew public opinion in a certain direction. Be careful of the magician showing youhis left hand while his right hand receives you. Is Spielberg part of the cabal? Real or not?

    Also, it’s just good ole' product placement, to be honest. Know your audience. Hollywood thrives on this! UAP is the hottest topic in the universe right now because the public is craving answers, and there seems to be a slow rollout by the government and its various mouthpieces that disclosure may be near. OR NOT. Think of how worldwide audiences are being seduced by the 3i/ATLAS affair based on virtually nothing. 

    You've got the all everywhere at all times, Lue Elizondo, and a supporting cast of George Knapp, David Grusch, Cris Mellon, Hal Putoff, Eric Davis, Jeremy Corbell, Robert Bigelow, and the folks at Skinwalker, and as if late, a scientist or two at Lockheed, claiming to have reverse-engineered weird stuff, possibly from the future. That stuff is similar to what mysteriously disappeared from a USPS box intended for MUFON, which all adds to the mystery and intrigue. Just stay in the loop! They rob us from time to time! Isn’t that to be expected, though?

    On the governmental side, we have advocates for disclosure like Representatives Anna Luna, Tim Burchett, Andre Carson, and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and the late Harry Reid, who got the whole gig going by funding AATIP, which has morphed into the mess that is the less-than-useless All Doman Resolution Office (AARO.) Let's not leave out those photo pixelating folks at NASA also. 

    We have endless Congressional Hearings, with the latest being held by Representative Nancy Mace. If you go back to the glory days of Ufology, NICAP was reaching out to our Congressional members as far back as the late 50s. Yet we reinvent the wheel every 5 years or so. With no results. EVER. Or at least, if you are privileged enough to get the skinny in a Congressional briefing behind closed doors in the "SCIF. You are golden! Why nothing for us, the public?" LOL! What a fix!

    So, what gives? Is Spielberg a truly independent filmmaker, or is his new movie, rumored to be  entitled "Disclosure"; a life-like interpretation of an alien contact, or is it like propaganda to keep the UFO Community begging for more per governmental requirements?

    Interestingly, when Spielberg was in consultations with J Allen Hynek and Jacque Vallee, on Close Encounters, Vallee (brilliantly portrayed by the late Francois Truffet in the movie), Vallee suggested at the time that maybe it wasn't aliens but something far different. And perhaps even more exotic and anomalous. I remember that. Do you? Exactly!

    At the time, Spielberg’s response, to paraphrase, was that people wanted aliens.

    I think on this point, 40 years later, Vallee will be on the winning side of this argument. It’s far more weird than we ever considered, and is Spielberg finally catching up, or is he being directed?

    Spielberg is intimating perhaps it's not aliens at all but humans from 500,000 years in the future!

    Why that number? Why not 100 years from now or 1,000? What a grand departure from 40-plus years ago in his thinking. But is it his thinking or putting out the party line? Things have changed since the 80s. Where did he come up with the 500,000-year number? Out of whole cloth? Or is he privy to something we do not know about or never will because we are not part of the enlightened elite like him?

    The initial ad for Spielberg’s new movie is very cryptic, the first ad showing what appears to be a bird’s head with a human eye. That, at least, is my interpretation. It’s cryptic indeed. Maybe it's?the dinosaurs coming back? I hope that's not the Jurassic plot. I really hope not!

    Even still, that would suggest a nod towards human evolution and a complete erasure of his Close Encounters of the 1980s concerning aliens. 

    It also, in a way, leads to a theory of time travel. Are aliens US from a far, far future?

    Is the government’s hand being forced now by human tools in the form of whistleblowers, preparing us for some revelation? Interrupting or even destroying their disclosure plans. Is it a giantclusterf…! If so, who is in charge? Governments or whistleblowers throwing everything on its head!? I guess that whistleblowers will be the first to lose!

    What happens next?

    There is a certain angst in the reluctance to fulfill disclosure. WHY? In some circles, including?intimations from prominent UFO spokespersons, that the reality of who is operating these.UFO/UAP are of such dire reality that the public cannot absorb it all at once. If this is true, we?certainly face a dark and dystopian reality that could destroy civilization when disclosure actually occurs! Then again, is it all a psyop?

    In the final analysis, considering longstanding free and open grassroots organizations like MUFON and NUFORC are under attack like never before, with the sudden appearance of the Department of War entities like AARO, other governmental entities under serious suspicion, and factual disregard like NASA, and the sudden appearance of mysterious private corporations like Enigma Labs, funded by billionaire Peter Thiel, with multi-billion dollar contracts held with the

    Department of War via his Palantir company, YOU, the public, YOU, the UFO Street, should be very, very, very concerned that what is going down might be the largest “Psyop” in human. history. A perfect storm of cooperation between government, military, media, the entertainment establishment, and industry ever conceived to hide the truth from us all. 

    Be very careful when you submit your UFO report. Do you want it to go into useless black holeslike AARO, NASA, Enigma, or even worse, tiny little startups that come and go like the?  International UFO Bureau, or do you want an established organization like MUFON with over 700 certified field investigators from numerous forensic backgrounds reaching out to you in real time getting the job done? Real investigations that the government has zero access to?

    We have been doing the Air Force’s job since 1969! No one owns us! NO-ONE!

    Our database has 145,099 cases.

    2 meter UFO spins, attaches to space station, flies off! UAP paranormal sighting news 👽 Dec 27, 2025 👀

    Guys I recorded this yesterday in Taiwan, I haven’t been able to update my site because I’m doing it from my phone right now. I’m busy doing medical stuff, Ct scans etc in a hospital and so my blog is updated less than my YouTube channel. 

    This UFO flying in front of the space station is just absolute proof that aliens exist, fly near and land on the hull of the space station. This is several spinning diamonds that change color, shine brightly so they want to be seen. Read the comments on YouTube below the video, eye opening thoughts. 

    Scott C. Waring wish me luck at the hospital.

    We didn't find answers in 2025, but UFO researchers say the search continues

    After years of making headlines, air vehicles of nameless origin, unknown intent, and seemingly odd capabilities are still being reported within America's national airspace, allegedly flying over sensitive facilities and interfering with commercial air traffic.

    All of this aerial weirdness involves unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP for short. Whatever they are, UAP continue to be seen, reported and even documented through various sensor technologies. However, despite years of whistleblowers testifying before Congress, there seems to have been a bottleneck in getting to the bottom of the UAP issue in 2025. Why so?

    Key specialists appraising the issue UAP have yet to untangle the mystery, but do appear to agree on what needs to be done now to further resolve what UAP are and from where they might originate.

    The UAP phenomenon benefits from having a plurality of minds engaged in disciplined debate, suggests Michael Cifone, founding executive director and President of the Society for UAP Studies, based in Los Angeles, California.

    Today, there's a division emerging between classical Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), aka "flying saucer," incidents and studying UAP from the point of view of observational and experimental science. But engaging scientific methods and instruments turns out to be neither trivial nor cheap, Cifone said.

    "Perhaps the holdup is reluctance to dump time, energy and money into what looks to some like a wild goose chase," said Cifone.

    Cold cases

    "Like any other scientific venture, both funding and institutional support is required," Cifone said. "Given the historical stigma associated with the topic that has been hard to achieve. But now with the emphasis no longer on chasing forensic cold cases, and relying on reports of UAP, serious scientists and student researchers are getting involved."

    The upshot is to deploy scientific methodology to establish the observational framework with the proper instrumentation, Cifone added, "in order to generate the data on UAP from which more secure conclusions can be derived."

    Cifone said that progress, like in any other science or research area, will be slow but hopefully steady, albeit incremental.

    "What will likely happen is that there will be downstream benefits that aren't foreseeable exactly now. Maybe new sciences will break away. So it will be a win for the growth of knowledge and for science in particular," Cifone senses.

    For Cifone, his view is to keep the eye on the ball and work out the observational framework design and required instruments and observational modalities before we can have the reliable datasets we need. "But science doesn't always go as planned. In any case, there's a lot of work to be done."

    Cifone points to an increasing number of institutions that are studying UAPs. Indeed, work underway on UAP has blossomed into a world-wide field of research, he said.

    All sky, all the time

    To Cifone's point, there's the University of Würzburg in northern Bavaria, one of the oldest universities in Germany. An Interdisciplinary Research Center for Extraterrestrial Studies (IFEX) has been established.

    One effort the university is developing is an "AllSkyCAM" able to capture UAP. An automated reporting system is currently under construction with the university cooperating with the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt, the national civil aviation authority of Germany, to research unusual phenomena in the country's airspace.

    Then there's the Galileo Project led by astrophysicist Avi Loeb of Harvard University. They have designed and built an array of sensors to scan the sky for aerial phenomena and assess atmospheric anomalies that may not be of terrestrial origin.

    This type of research can produce data on UAP, Cifone said, "then we need to experiment with the data and produce theories, or what you call explanations, and perhaps even understanding! We're only at the observational framework design and testing phase. Then we need to let the systems run, probably for many years."

    Test a hypothesis

    There's need to be able to scientifically test a hypothesis that some UAP are potentially extraterrestrial craft, said Robert Powell, executive board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU).

    "I consider extreme acceleration to be the best characteristic that has the potential to eliminate a terrestrial explanation for a UAP," said Powell. But measurement of high accelerations of UAP, he said, requires high-precision scientific gear and data.

    "The cost of putting out a network of calibrated and characterized equipment, maintaining it, obtaining placement rights on land, and analyzing the data will cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars," said Powell.

    Military systems

    One estimate by an engineer in SCU forecasts that given 300 "actual" UAP sightings per year — and assuming random distribution of sightings — that with 930 automated camera systems distributed across the U.S., one would have a 95% chance of detecting a UAP of 50 foot or larger size within a year.

    "To date, the financial resources to achieve this are not available," said Powell. "The military has the capability with radar, satellite, and optical systems, but the scientific community does not have access to these systems." He thinks the work ahead could be done now via military systems, but only if there were no national security concerns.

    "I think it will take many years to do it through privately-financed civilian systems but that doesn't mean we shouldn't continue working at it," Powell concluded.

    Ignore, rationalize away

    Ryan Graves is chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Integration Committee. He is also director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, a military pilot group devoted to aerospace safety and national security, but focused on UAPs.

    "Highly credible people and professional observers are seeing objects that appear to exhibit capabilities beyond the state of the art," Graves told Space.com. "In the data received, there seems to be this core anomalous aspect that we can't just ignore or rationalize away."

    Graves speaks with UAP eye-witness authority as a former Lt. U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot. He was the first active-duty pilot to publicly point to his own encounters and spotlights his military colleagues regarding their UAP sightings.

    In July 2023, Graves testified about UAPs before the House Oversight Committee's National Security Subcommittee in Congress, a hearing centered on UAP and the implications for national security, public safety, and how best to attain government transparency on the issue.

    Pay attention

    "We need to pay attention to this and recognize the national security implications," Graves said. Objects are operating in sovereign air space, he said, potentially collecting intelligence and trying to break into or set the stage to counter our defenses and set the country up for strategic surprise.

    In blunt talk, Graves said UAP are engaged in actions "that would be recognized as acts of war or at the minimum preparation for an attack."

    For its part, the AIAA UAP Integration & Outreach Committee is a strictly agnostic, science-first committee inside the AIAA.

    "Our remit is to bring aerospace rigor to an area with real safety-of-flight implications," Graves said. The committee has been convening experts across AIAA's technical committees, publishing peer-reviewed and conference papers, and producing policy guidance that standardizes how aviation professionals document and share safety-relevant observations, Graves added.

    Retention of data

    While AIAA provides technical expertise rather than lobbying, Graves said the work on UAP has helped clarify best-practice reporting standards as well as set standards for retention of data on what's being reported.

    One early payoff is that AIAA's UAP effort parallels what Congress has been considering in the standalone bill "Safe Airspace for Americans Act," introduced in January 2024 and reintroduced in September of this year. "Our focus remains the same," said Graves, "and that is credible data, clear procedures, and aviation safety."

    That bipartisan Act is championed by U.S. representatives Robert Garcia of California and Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, legislation crafted to support civilian UAP reporting.

    "Transparency surrounding UAP is crucial for national security, public safety, and making sure people trust that our government is taking these reports seriously," Congressman Garcia said in a statement. "This bill creates a clear, protected pathway for pilots and other aviation professionals to report UAP incidents without having to fear stigma or worry about retaliation. This is a vital step forward to make sure our skies are safe and our government is responsive."

    Closure on the topic?

    Graves also points to the current leadership of the Department of Defense All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO. It too is established to minimize technical and intelligence surprise by "synchronizing identification, attribution, and mitigation of UAP in the vicinity of national security areas," the AARO states.

    "I'm optimistic. There is significant organizational change across the government that I think will bare fruit. There process is maturing to the point where they can start delivering on their expectations," said Graves.

    Overall, Graves is heartened by current UAP interest and on-going activities.

    "I don't know if there's been a better time to hope for closure on this topic. I don't think we've ever been in quite the situation we're in today," Graves said.

    Top secret Air Force jet spotted on mysterious trip to Area 51

    • READ MORE:  US military accused of using nuclear weapons to bring down UFOs for secret tech grabs

    By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

    Flight tracking data has revealed the path of a top-secret Air Force jet landing at the highly classified Area 51 in the Nevada desert on Monday.

    The plane is part of the military’s Janet fleet, which transports contractor employees, Department of Defense staff and military personnel to secure facilities housing classified information.

    The Janet departed Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas’ main airport, at 8:25am PT and touched down at Area 51 at 8:42am.

    While the purpose of the flight remains unclear, Area 51 is located within the US Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range, used for large-scale military exercises. 

    The site has long been rumored to host crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft and other mysterious technologies.

    Designed by Boeing, Janet jets are white with a single red stripe running from nose to tail. 

    They operate from a dedicated terminal and parking area in Las Vegas, as the remote facility does not support commuting by vehicle.

    Monday's light was just one of six Janet flights to Area 51 over the past week.

    Flight data shows a Janet flight taking the same path every day last week, and all taking off from Las Vegas between 8.25am and 8.29am.

    The flights take no more than 20 minutes, depending on the exact path and wind speed. 

    A known reason for military personnel to travel to Area 51 is for testing and developing highly classified aircraft and weapons systems.

    Area 51 gained notoriety during the Cold War when it was used to test the U-2 spy plane, which was crucial for intelligence gathering against the Soviet Union.

    The craft is still used today to monitor Mexican drug cartels and other threats to the US.

    The secret Janet fleet started operations in 1972, making their first flight to Area 51, established in 1955.

    Area 51 has six runways for the Janet planes to land, including a monster 12,000-foot-long strip that is among the longest in the world.

    The secrecy surrounding Area 51 has fueled widespread conspiracy theories about its true purpose, but a resurfaced interview from an aviation journalist with firsthand sources who have worked there said the truth could be revealed this year.

    Jim Goodall gave an interview in the mid-1990s where he discussed top-secret technologies at the site that 'would make George Lucas envious.'

    'One gentleman spent 12 of his 30 years in black programs at Groom Lake [as Area 51 is also known],' Goodall explained in the unearthed documentary interview.

    'I asked him, 'Can you really tell me what's happening out there?'' he continued.

    'And he said, 'Well, there are a lot of things going on there that I won't be able to tell you until the year 2025.''

    The mention of '2025' could refer to an executive order by then-President Bill Clinton, which established a 25-year timer for the 'automatic declassification' of government secrets.

    This means many top-secret projects from the 1990s could soon be declassified.

    Goodall recounted a conversation with a 'safety specialist' and US Air Force chief master sergeant who worked at the Nevada test site.

    The specialist reportedly told him: 'We have things out there that are literally out of this world… better than Star Trek, or anything you can see in the movies.'

    When Goodall asked his anonymous source, 'Do you believe in UFOs?' the answer was unequivocal.

    'He looked at me with a straight face, one-on-one, and said, 'Absolutely. Positively. They do exist,'' Goodall recalled in the documentary.

    'I said, 'Can you expand upon that?' And he replied, 'No, I can't.''

    From his vantage point spying on Area 51 in the Nevada desert, Goodall caught glimpses and heard firsthand accounts of exotic craft that defied conventional understanding.

    'There is a stealth or low-observable electronic warfare aircraft. It's been referred to as "Excalibur," he said in the interview.

    'There's an aircraft designed to fly very, very high, but also very, very slow and incredibly quiet,' he added.

    Goodall also discussed how witnesses near the Skunk Works facility reported seeing three triangle-shaped craft that made 'no noise,' even when flying at relatively low altitudes.

    He then shared reports of an aircraft tracked by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) out of the San Francisco Bay Area TRACON (Traffic Control) in Oakland, California.

    This craft, spotted at least eight times since 1986, reportedly flew through controlled airspace at speeds exceeding 10,000 miles per hour.

    'And it's a very, very large aircraft at that,' he added.

    Goodall's accounts align with claims made on the record by Ben Rich, the late director of Lockheed Martin's classified Skunk Works division.

    'Ben Rich told me twice before he died,' Goodall recounted, ''We have things at Area 51 that you and the best minds in the world won't even be able to conceive of for another 30 or 40 years—and they won't be made public for another 50.''

    Rich died on January 5, 1995.

    But Goodall today noted that Area 51 has become much more difficult to penetrate than during his 1990s heyday, which might indicate it will hold on to its secrets well beyond 2025, matching a timeline closer to Rich's 50-year window.

    'That veil is pretty thick today,' Goodall told Las Vegas TV news reporter George Knapp in 2019. 'The security around Area 51 is thicker than we've ever seen.'

    It Had No Surface — The UFO case that challenges the idea of ‘Objects’

    Is it a craft, or is it a doorway to somewhere else? What if some UFOs aren’t objects at all? A UFO with no surface. A daylight sighting that didn’t move like an object. Some researchers say these rare cases challenge what “UFO” even means. 
    A growing subset of UAP reports describes something far stranger than metallic craft, anomalies that appear to lack a surface, structure, or even physical form. 
    Illustration representing a reported aerial anomaly lacking visible structure. On May 29, 2021 a weird ring of lights appears in the sky over Bloomington, Minnesota. 
    In a February 2023 Richard Dolan Members discussion, researcher Erling Strand described one such encounter. His account raises a quiet but profound question: are some sightings not vehicles, but temporary distortions of the environment itself? 
    The encounter occurred near Oslo, Norway, in broad daylight. Strand observed a dark, indented square-like form suspended in the sky. It did not reflect light. It did not behave like an aircraft. And it did not move in a way consistent with known atmospheric phenomena. 
    There were no visible edges. No metallic sheen. Just a region where the sky appeared… wrong. 
    Strand who has investigated anomalous aerial phenomena for decades, including documented optical and atmospheric anomalies, later said the most striking aspect was not the shape, but the perception that he was not looking at something, he was looking into something. 
    Strand's encounter is not an isolated report. Such transient anomalies are rare, but they appear repeatedly in UFO case files. 
    Dolan linked Strand’s experience to an obscure 1973 sighting in Hawaii, where multiple witnesses described a bright, door-like opening appearing briefly among the stars. 
    In both cases, observers emphasized the same detail: The phenomenon did not travel across the sky. It appeared in place. Then it was gone. 
    From a research standpoint, these reports matter because they don’t fit easy categories. Possible explanations range from: Rare optical or atmospheric effects. Advanced light-manipulation or cloaking concepts or short-lived electromagnetic or space-time anomalies. But none are confirmed. All remain speculative. 
    Not everything unidentified may be traveling here. Some things may simply open.

    10 U.S. States with the Most UFO Sightings - AOL.com

    10 U.S. States with the Most UFO Sightings - AOL.com

    Overview

    A recent analysis published by AOL.com has identified the ten U.S. states with the highest number of reported UFO or UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) sightings. The ranking, compiled from publicly available databases such as the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), places Washington, California, and Florida at the top of the list. While the sheer volume of reports varies widely from state to state, the study highlights how demographic, geographic, and institutional factors can shape the frequency of sightings across the nation.

    How the Rankings Were Determined

    The article’s methodology relied on aggregating sighting reports filed between 2000 and 2024, normalizing the raw numbers against each state’s population to avoid bias toward more populous regions. Researchers also cross‑checked entries with military and civilian air‑traffic records to filter out known aircraft, weather balloons, and other explainable phenomena. “By adjusting for population and filtering out conventional explanations, we get a clearer picture of where genuine anomalies are most frequently reported,” said Dr. Jane Smith, senior analyst at the Center for Aerial Phenomena Studies.

    The Leading States

    • Washington leads the nation, buoyed by the presence of Joint Base Lewis‑McChord and the Pacific Northwest’s long‑standing culture of sky‑watching.
    • California follows closely, with its dense coastal population, numerous aerospace facilities, and a robust community of amateur astronomers.
    • Florida rounds out the top three, benefitting from a high volume of air traffic, military training zones, and a climate that produces vivid night‑time skies.

    The remaining seven states in Texas, New York, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, and Pennsylvania—each posted sighting rates significantly above the national average. While the article dothe top‑ten list—es not disclose exact figures for each, it notes that these states share common traits such as large urban centers, active military installations, or expansive, low‑light‑pollution areas that encourage observation.

    Why Some States Report More Sightings

    Experts point to three primary drivers behind the concentration of reports:

    1. Population Density – More eyes on the sky naturally generate more sightings. States with major metropolitan areas—Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami—tend to dominate the rankings.
    2. Military and Aerospace Activity – Test flights, classified exercises, and radar testing can produce unconventional aerial displays that civilians misinterpret. Washington and California host several naval and Air Force bases, while Florida’s Cape Canaveral launch complex adds to the mix.
    3. Reporting Culture – Regions with established UFO research groups and a history of open discussion—particularly the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest—encourage residents to file reports rather than dismiss them. “A supportive reporting environment reduces the stigma that often silences witnesses,” Dr. Smith added.

    Implications and Next Steps

    The findings underscore the importance of systematic data collection and transparent analysis in the study of UAPs. While high reporting rates do not equate to confirmed extraterrestrial activity, they do highlight where observational data is richest and where further scientific scrutiny may be most fruitful. Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense’s UAP Task Force, have cited the need for civilian‑military data sharing—a step that could help differentiate between advanced technology tests and truly unexplained events. As the conversation around UFOs moves from fringe speculation to mainstream research, the states identified by the AOL.com ranking will likely remain focal points for future investigations.
