UAP Up Close Shoots Past Passenger Jet Windows! March 2024, UFO Sighting News Video.
UAP Up Close Shoots Past Passenger Jet Windows! March 2024, UFO Sighting News Video.
Date of sighting: March 2024 Location of sighting: New York, New York, USA
Watch as a UFO shoots past a passenger jet over New York and gets caught on video. The object is long, dark and has a bright white window area which is the alien pilots cockpit location. It's obvious this UAP shoot past to scan the technology of the plane as well as record the thoughts of its passengers. This is 100% proof that UFOs frequent heavily populated areas.

UFO Caught On Photo Redondo Beach, California, USA March 10, 2024, UAP Sighting News.
Water UFOs otherwise known as USO are much more common than the US Gov would like you to believe. This UFO is diving so fast it was caught in many locations of the photo as it was diving into the water. The Earth is covered by 75% water, which makes it the ideal location to place an alien base since humans don't frequent the bottom of the ocean floor. This UFO was observing the sailboat and then dived into the water before it was seen. However the camera has a more perfect eye and caught this little fella as it was observing and trying to leave. USO are serious and real craft that even the US Navy talks about under the table.
💫I was taking photos at Redondo and walked to the end of the pier to shoot an array of sailboats. I didn't see the object with my eyes as I was focused on the boats but when processing the photo I saw what appears to be something falling from the sky. It had to be fast to be captured by my camera at a speed of 1/500 of a second. You can easily see the descent and the object with a trail.

A talk with ChatGPT about a cloud orb I summoned years ago, UFO Sighting News. Taiwan, Sept 17, 2011 - sighting discussed.
Above gif is the closest I can find to what the orb looked like, this is about 70% what I saw, still missing the white clouds within about 10%, the black clouds about 15% and the silver metallic paint moving within which covered 65-75% of the sphere. My sighting took place in Taiwan, on an 8 floor rooftop of my apartment building, on Sept 17, 2011.
All the statements by me are 100% true, and I do have a video of it after it shot 50 meters from me...at which time it looked white in the distance. I was curious what AI GPT Chat would say about the sighting and what insights it may have. And I did not expect such fantastic comprehension and advice from GPT Chat. It was both helpful and eye opening. Something that is rare in this field.

Below is the video...where I grabbed the tripod and flipped it around only to see the orb shot 50 meters away and sat there, watching me. I could not coax it to come back.
The Enigma of Nazi UFOs: Unveiling the Third Reich’s Secret Projects
The Enigma of Nazi UFOs: Unveiling the Third Reich’s Secret Projects
In the annals of World War II’s history, the technological prowess of Nazi Germany has been well-documented, from the V2 rocket to the infamous Enigma machine. However, nestled within these tales of engineering marvels lies a lesser-known, yet equally fascinating narrative: the story of the Nazi UFO projects. This exploration takes us beyond conventional warfare technologies into the realm of science fiction turned purported reality under the aegis of the Third Reic
The Origins of the Nazi UFO Legend
The legend of Nazi UFOs originates from post-war claims and scattered evidence suggesting that the Third Reich embarked on ambitious projects to develop advanced aircraft, often described as “flying saucers” or “foo fighters.” These projects were said to leverage unconventional propulsion systems, potentially including anti-gravity, a concept that was light years ahead of its time.
Historians and enthusiasts have traced the roots of these alleged programs back to pre-war German engineering prowess, coupled with an interest in esoteric and occult knowledge. Figures such as Viktor Schauberger, an Austrian inventor, are often mentioned as being central to these efforts, with his work on vortex propulsion cited as a possible basis for the UFO projects.
Between Fact and Fiction: The Development of Flying Discs
While concrete evidence remains elusive, various accounts suggest that the Nazis did indeed experiment with disc-shaped aircraft. Projects such as the “Die Glocke” (The Bell) have entered the lore, described as an anti-gravity device capable of generating an immense power field. Despite the lack of physical proof, the narrative is bolstered by reports of high-ranking Nazis, including SS officers, taking an intense interest in these technologies.
The involvement of Nazi Germany in researching and potentially attempting to harness energy fields or otherworldly propulsion methods has been a topic of speculation. This interest aligns with the era’s broader fascination with breaking the boundaries of known science, driven by the war’s demands and Hitler’s obsession with achieving technological supremacy.
Post-War Legacy and Allied Interest
The end of World War II did not bury the stories of Nazi UFOs; instead, it marked the beginning of a new chapter. Operation Paperclip, a secret program by the United States, brought over German scientists, engineers, and technicians. Among them were individuals purportedly involved in the Reich’s most secretive projects, including those rumored to be associated with UFO research.
This transfer of knowledge and personnel fed into Cold War era projects and contributed to advancements in aerospace technologies. The specter of Nazi UFOs lingered, morphing into part of the broader UFO phenomenon and conspiracy theories concerning hidden government projects and extraterrestrial contacts.
The Verdict: Myth or Lost Technology?
Deciphering the truth behind Nazi UFOs is challenging, with the line between historical fact and speculative fiction often blurred. While there’s no definitive proof that the Third Reich succeeded in developing operational flying saucers, the numerous accounts and circumstantial evidence suggest a keen interest in transcending conventional aerospace technologies.
The legacy of the Nazi UFO projects, whether real or imagined, has significantly impacted popular culture and the UFO community. It represents a fascinating intersection of history, science fiction, and the enduring human desire to push the boundaries of the possible.
In conclusion, the story of Nazi UFOs occupies a unique niche within the tapestry of World War II history. It serves as a testament to the era’s technological ambitions and the lengths to which the Nazi regime would go in its quest for domination. As with many aspects of that tumultuous period, the truth may be stranger than fiction, obscured by the fog of war and the passage of time.
We've Got 'Multiple US Military Whistleblowers' Saying There's Video of a UFO Shooting Down a Nuke With a Laser Beam
We've Got 'Multiple US Military Whistleblowers' Saying There's Video of a UFO Shooting Down a Nuke With a Laser Beam

I'm disappointed by the way the federal government's "transparency" on the UFO phenomenon over promised and under delivered. You're probably disappointed. We're all disappointed. And it feels increasingly likely that what little they have actually revealed is part of some coordinated key-jingling operation to distract us from what they've really been hiding all along.
Yet there are elements of UFO/UAP reporting that can't be dismissed. Namely how many of these crafts appear around our most sensitive nuclear defense facilities. Enough that it's hard to believe it's all random and not part of a pattern. There's no shortage of UFO researchers who believe the infamous crash at Roswell can be traced directly to the atomic bomb research by J. Robert Oppenheimer's team at Los Alamos. That splitting the atom attracts them like a magnet.
And there have even been multiple reports down through the years of them appearing over our nuclear missile facilities and demonstrating the power to disarm them.
But never a story quite like this one:
Source -The US military is in possession of a video of a UFO apparently disabling a nuclear warhead during a routine test, according to multiple former officials.
They claim the video in question captured a saucer-shaped craft circling the unarmed, dummy warhead shortly after it detached from the Atlas missile booster, then shooting four beams of light at the warhead, disabling it.
Retired US Air Force officers Lieutenant Bob Jacobs and Major Florenze Mansmann claim to have viewed the recording of the 1964 encounter before the tape went missing.
The former officials were part of a team responsible for capturing video of missile test launches in California with telescopic photography and videography equipment.
Two days later, after they screened the video, they claim that two plain-clothed CIA agents confiscated the footage and swore them to secrecy. …
The alleged incident occurred nearly six decades ago, on September 15, 1964, but it has more recently come into public knowledge due to author Robert Hastings investigating it.
Luis Elizondo acknowledged the existence of the video and claimed he has seen it [and] he was the former director of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) program to study UFOs. …
The craft inadvertently caught on film was domed and disc-shaped, according to Jacobs and Mansmann.
It was a 'classic disc, the center seemed to be a raised bubble…the entire lower saucer shape was glowing and seemed to be rotating slowly,' according to a letter Mansmann wrote about the incident in 1983.
'At the point of beam release…the object turned like an object required to be in a position to fire from a platform …'
Beyond the video, there is some limited evidence supporting the story.
A declassified but unreleased set of radar data of the September 15, 1964 event apparently confirmed that an unidentified aerial object was observed near the dummy warhead during the missile test, a source told Hastings.
Great. Just great. Classic 1950s flying saucers with rotating discs shooting our nuclear test missiles out of the sky with fricking space lasers like the Death Star:
Giphy Images.
Our missile defense researchers have it captured on video, but the Men in Black had to grab it and hide it in a secret wall safe hidden behind a portrait of whoever really killed JFK for the past 60 years. This I guess is what we're paying them for and why the Pentagon can't ever pass a budget. Because all the money is going to running around hiding videos that would change the course of history like they're sex tape.
I can understand why the deep state operatives choose to keep some stuff hidden from the public. They can justify it by telling themselves that if we knew the truth it would create distrust in the government and society would collapse or whatever. But aliens shooting down and disarming nukes would have the exact opposite effect.
If anything, it would make everyone feel safer. We'd sleep better at night knowing that aliens or whoever are here keeping us safe from each other. The human race figured out how to destroy itself. And we're basically a toddler who found dad's gun and are playing with it. It's comforting to think there's some adult supervision in the cosmos making sure the gun isn't loaded so we can keep running around pointing it at each other in blissful ignorance.
That alternative beats the hell of out living life knowing we're all one madman starting nuclear armageddon monkey business away from the Age of the Cockroaches on our home world. So release the video, for crying out loud. Not only do we deserve to see it finally, it'll give us something to watch now that football is over
In an eye-opening exploration into the unexplained aerial phenomena within the United Kingdom, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart, associated with 7NEWS Australia, delves into a series of perplexing sightings and encounters that have sparked intrigue and debate for decades. Coulthart’s investigation, a blend of historical research and firsthand accounts, sheds new light on incidents that have both fascinated and puzzled experts and the public alike.
The Catalysts of Inquiry
Central to Coulthart’s inquiry are the infamous Rendlesham Forest and Cosford incidents, events that have stood the test of time as quintessential examples of UFO phenomena. The Rendlesham Forest incident, often described as Britain’s Roswell, and the lesser-known but equally mystifying Cosford incident, serve as pivotal case studies in Coulthart’s reportage. These incidents, characterized by sightings of unidentified flying objects and unexplained lights, have been the subject of extensive investigation by military and civilian authorities.
The Voices of Experience
Coulthart’s investigation is enriched by conversations with pivotal figures in the UFO research community and witnesses to these enigmatic events. Notably, Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence official who was tasked with investigating UFO sightings, offers insights into the government’s response to UFO phenomena. Pope’s transition from skeptic to believer underscores the compelling nature of the evidence encountered during his tenure.
Further depth is added through interviews with witnesses such as Darren Perks, Colonel Charles Halt, and former RAAF Commander Alan Turner, each bringing a unique perspective to the fore. Their testimonies provide a gripping narrative of encounters with objects displaying capabilities far beyond human technology.
Skepticism and Science
Balancing the narrative, Coulthart engages with skeptics like Professor Chris French, who advocate for caution in interpreting these phenomena. French suggests that psychological factors, such as perception and memory distortion, can influence eyewitness accounts, reminding us of the complexity of human cognition and the need for scientific rigor in UFO studies.
The Enduring Mystery
Despite decades of investigations, reports, and debates, the truth behind the UK’s UFO sightings remains shrouded in mystery. Coulthart’s report highlights a critical takeaway: while significant evidence suggests the presence of unidentified aerial phenomena, definitive explanations remain elusive. The investigation into the UK’s UFO phenomenon not only uncovers a history of unexplained encounters but also underscores the ongoing challenge in distinguishing between myth and reality.

Ross Coulthart’s investigation into the UK’s UFO phenomenon offers a compelling journey through the heart of one of modern society’s most enduring mysteries. By weaving together eyewitness accounts, expert analyses, and historical data, Coulthart provides a nuanced perspective on the UFO enigma. His work invites us to ponder the possibilities of what might lie beyond our current understanding, urging both believers and skeptics alike to keep an open mind in the face of the unknown.
Guys, check this out. This report just came in not long ago to NUFORC and it's just amazing. A dark jellyfish shaped UFO is seen moving across the sky over South Africa...one of the rarest locations ever to get a report from...and this one is of great quality video, a steady eyewitness hand. The speed this UFO is moving looks to be about 25 miles per hour, much too fast to be wind and it is slightly rotating in a 360 degree turn once every 30 seconds. Awesome catch, fantastic and indisputable evidence that UFOs are flying low and want to be seen by humans.

Eyewitness states:
Object flying across the sky with very unusual shape and color. Emitted no sound or light. Object moved across the sky at a reasonable fast pace. No light or sound came from it. Looked as if it had a blue to purple hue to it and was completely silent.

This disk shaped cloud is actually camouflage for a real UFO that sits within it. You see, often UFOs want to fly lower to gather data, but can't without revealing themselves, thus they use methods that make us shrug it off saying...oh its only a cloud, when in reality...its an alien vessel scanning us. Aliens like to believe they are smarter than us, well, I am here to say that they are flesh and bones and they do make mistakes and get caught every so often. But when an alien ship forms a cloud within their forcefield, the cloud cannot move off, but instead stays with the field tightly packed around the UFO.
Retired Japanese fighter pilot recounts a compelling encounter with a UFO
Retired Japanese fighter pilot recounts a compelling encounter with a UFO
In addition to American fighter jet pilots, others have recently shared accounts of encountering UFOs during their missions.
Mamoru Sato, a retired veteran Japanese fighter pilot and former Air Defense Force Base Commander with 34 years of dedicated service, recounts a compelling encounter involving an unidentified flying object (UFO) within the Japanese airspace.
During a routine training session at Matsushima Air Base, a pilot undergoing training in a craft witnessed an unusual occurrence. He described a cigar-shaped object hovering above him in the sky. Interestingly, the pilot seated in the front confirmed the presence of the UFO, while the instructor positioned in the back seat failed to observe it. However, the situation took a puzzling turn when the aircraft's fuselage experienced an unexpected malfunction. It wasn't a typical mechanical issue indicated by warning lights or similar alerts.
The pilot found control of the craft compromised, rendering steering virtually impossible. Strangely, as abruptly as the UFO had appeared, it vanished, coinciding with the cessation of the aircraft's malfunction and the restoration of flight control.
Upon attempting to land, the UFO reappeared, triggering a recurrence of the loss of control experienced previously. This time, even the instructor caught sight of the UFO, confirming the pilot's earlier sighting.....
Mysterious Lights Over the Ocean: A Remarkable UFO Sighting on November 28, 2023
Mysterious Lights Over the Ocean: A Remarkable UFO Sighting on November 28, 2023
In the realm of unexplained phenomena, few topics capture the imagination as vividly as UFO sightings. These enigmatic occurrences prompt a whirlwind of speculation, intrigue, and a perennial quest for understanding. A recent event, reported on January 16, 2024, to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), stands as a poignant testament to the enduring allure of the unknown. This sighting, occurring on November 28, 2023, features an eyewitness account that is as compelling as it is mystifying.
A Spectacular Observation
The incident unfolded in an unexpected locale: the vast, open ocean. The witness, a passenger aboard a cruise ship, ventured back to their room to enjoy the serene ambiance of the sea from their balcony. What was meant to be a moment of tranquility quickly turned into an encounter with the inexplicable. The observer noticed a bright object performing erratic maneuvers in the sky, a sight so unusual and distant from any landmass that it defied immediate explanation. According to the witness, “the closest land was hundreds of miles away,” underscoring the isolation and the oddity of the sighting.
No Drones on Board
In pursuit of answers, the passenger approached the cruise ship’s crew, only to be met with information that deepened the mystery. The crew member confirmed that drones were not only prohibited on board but also not utilized by the ship itself. This detail is crucial, effectively eliminating a common rational explanation for such sightings. The suggestion that “maybe Mexico is doing something” adds a layer of geopolitical intrigue, albeit without concrete evidence to substantiate this theory.
A Video That Speaks Volumes
Accompanying the eyewitness report is a video, a visual testament to the encounter that lends credence to the observer’s account. While the video will undoubtedly be subjected to scrutiny by skeptics and enthusiasts alike, it serves as a pivotal piece of evidence in the ongoing dialogue about UFOs and their place in our collective consciousness.
The Enigma Continues
This sighting is a reminder of the vastness of our world and the mysteries that linger in its unexplored corners. UFO sightings, such as the one reported on November 28, 2023, challenge our understanding of the possible and propel us to look beyond the horizon, in search of answers that may forever remain just out of reach.
For enthusiasts and skeptics alike, this sighting adds another intriguing chapter to the annals of UFO encounters. As we gaze up at the night sky, we are reminded that sometimes, the most extraordinary mysteries are not found in the far reaches of space but right here, in the vast expanse of our own planet’s skies.
For those captivated by the unexplained and the extraordinary, this recent UFO sighting over the open ocean serves as a compelling invitation to explore the unknown. The video accompanying the eyewitness account provides a glimpse into an encounter that defies easy explanation, reminding us that the mysteries of the universe are not only vast but also closer than we might think.

Date of sighting:March 2024
Location of sighting: Mount Shasta, California, USA
Hmmm...this reminds me of something. Mount Shasta is a hotspot for UFO sightings. I remember a couple who saw a spacecraft hovering over the St. Germain Foundation property in 1991 while lounging in their hot tub on their back porch. Also, its said an alien base site below Mount Shasta, and St. Germain is one of its leaders...and is often seen wandering the mountain trails from time to time. I know there is an alien base below Shasta, however the real question is...how do we the public contact them?
News talked about an eyewitness who was using his telescope and recorded an unknown object shooting across the moon. I decided to look further into the recording and used the screenshot and added contrast and sharpening to see its true detail. The UFO is actually at the front right end of the glowing line. The UFO is also a disk with sharp not perfectly round but with about 8-10 different rectangle walls along the edge of the disk. The disk is also flying vertical to the moon. A disk flying vertical would be impossible, however many contact reports in Project Blue Book talk about the disks having their own gravity within, making such turns and angles of flight not felt by the pilots within. This UFO seen in the recording is 100% real, data doesn't lie.

Sean Kirkpatrick has faced threats for his work – and a new report concluding no evidence UAPs represented extraterrestrial tech has sent ufology into a tailspin

Sean Kirkpatrick doesn’t seem too thrilled to be chatting with me about UFOs. Since taking over the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022 – government-speak for UFO hunting – Kirkpatrick has received violent threats, social-media smear campaigns, and even had to call the FBI after a UFO fanatic showed up at his home.
“I’ve had people threaten my wife and daughter, and try to break into our online accounts – far more than I ever had as the deputy director of intelligence [of US Strategic Command],” Kirkpatrick says. “I didn’t have China and Russia trying to get on me as much as these people are.”
So, after 18 months in the job, Kirkpatrick called it quits last December. Then, last week, AARO published the first part of a report he had worked on that concluded there was no evidence “that any USG [US government] investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] represented extraterrestrial technology”.
AARO’s conclusions sent the world of ufology – the study of UFOs, the practitioners of which are known as ufologists – into a tailspin.
After all, it was only in July last year that the former intelligence officer David Grusch told a packed congressional hearing that for decades the US government had been hoarding crashed alien spaceships and attempting to reverse-engineer them. True believers thought we were getting closer than ever to full disclosure; it was only a matter of time until the government would wheel out the flying saucers on to the White House lawn.

Kirkpatrick was watching that hearing. Over the course of three hours, and via testimony from two former US navy pilots, David Fravor and Ryan Graves, Congress heard about unknown aircraft making impossible manoeuvres, or the government’s possession of “non-human biologics” recovered from crashed spaceships. At one point, Representative Tim Burchett asked Grusch if he had any personal knowledge of people being harmed or injured in efforts to cover up or conceal extraterritorial technology. Grusch replied: “Yes.” Burchett then asked Grusch if he had heard of anyone being murdered. The former intelligence official answered: “I directed people with that knowledge to the appropriate authorities.” Grusch also claimed that the Men in Black were on his case and were harassing other witnesses.
Crucially, Grusch said he hadn’t seen the spaceships and “biologics” with his own eyes; someone in the intelligence community told him the story.
Naturally, Kirkpatrick tried to talk to him. But although Grusch had dropped most of these bombshells months before on the cable channel NewsNation, when asked to discuss it with the one man in the US government who really needed to hear the yarn, he was a no-show. “We tried to reach out to him four or five times to get him to come in,” Kirkpatrick says. “And as of the time that I left, he had refused to come for a variety of reasons.”You see this story crop up every couple of decades, and it’s pretty much the same story
Kirkpatrick – who has sharp features, a thin goatee and speaks in a measured monotone that makes even this topic seem slightly boring – says the evidence against Grusch’s claims is conclusive. “There’s no evidence to support any of the allegations or any extraterrestrial reverse engineering or ‘human biologics’ or whatever you want to call it,” he says. “You see this story crop up every couple of decades, and it’s pretty much the same story.”
And it comes, he says, from the ufologists who gave him such grief – a core of people that can only be described as America’s new UFO lobby.
A new age
The 21st century’s UFO craze began on 16 December 2017 after the New York Times reported that the Pentagon had created something called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). This was supposedly a secret department investigating unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs (the Department of Defense’s preferred acronym for UFOs).
The Times piece also included three videos, the most compelling of which showed an object eerily similar to a flying saucer, moving with no apparent means of propulsion.
The story went viral and UFOs went mainstream. Serious people were now taking little green men and their spaceships very seriously. Barack Obama told The Late Late Show with James Corden that things were happening in our skies that the US government simply could not explain.
A flying saucer photographed near Santa Ana, California, in August 1965.
However, not everything in the Times’ story was accurate. Yes, the Pentagon did have a UFO programme, but it was called the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), not AATIP, and it had bizarre beginnings.
Seated next to Grusch in that congressional hearing was George Knapp, a journalist who in 2006 co-wrote a book called Hunt for the Skinwalker (a shape-shifting witch in Navajo culture). Knapp’s book tells stories of vanishing cattle, “invisible objects emitting magnetic fields” and flying orbs zooming around the eponymous Skinwalker Ranch – a large property in Utah.
The book has proved to be instrumental in modern ufology. It found its way to James Lacatski, an intelligence officer in the Department of Defense, who was blown away by it and contacted the aviation billionaire Robert Bigelow, the owner of Skinwalker Ranch at the time. Bigelow allowed Lacatski to visit the ranch and investigate; one evening, Lacatski claimed to see an apparition in the kitchen, described in Knapp’s and Lacatski’s 2021 follow-up book Skinwalkers at the Pentagon as “an unearthly technological device” which took the form of “a complex semi-opaque, yellowish, tubular structure”.
Lacatski and Bigelow took their findings to the late Harry Reid, the Nevada senator, who also had a keen interest in UFOs. Bigelow was a longtime donor to Reid’s campaigns, and persuaded him that it was time to look into UFOs and related phenomena.
There was one problem: a defence programme focused on UFOs would not loosen any purse strings at the Pentagon, so Lacatski buried the true purpose of his research under an unremarkable acronym: AAWSAP, which promptly kicked off a search for poltergeists, ET and “the freakish hybrid of small dinosaur [sic] and large beaver”.
The Pentagon gave $22m to AAWSAP in 2008 – and AAWSAP gave the funds to none other than Bigelow and his company, Bigelow Aerospace, who used the money to chase UFOs and the paranormal at Skinwalker Ranch.
A few years later, the Pentagon got wind of what was really happening, and AAWSAP was fully closed down by 2012. There’s no evidence that AAWSAP found spaceships or aliens.

But the myth had taken root.
In Kirkpatrick’s report, he says all the stories – the alien bodies and crashed spaceships that Grusch peddled in Congress – “largely originate from the same group of individuals who have ties to AAWSAP/AATIP program” and “worked with each other consistently in various UAP-related efforts”.
Their beliefs, he says now, are as circular as their associations with one another. “Some of that same core group of individuals had reached out to one of these industry partners and convinced them to take a look at a piece of material that they claimed was part of a crashed UFO. And then they turned around to point to that company and say, ‘Hey, ‘they’re reverse engineering crashed UFOs?’ Well, they were the ones that gave it to them.” Nevertheless, he and his team at AARO looked into it. “It turns out that’s not really a UFO. It’s most likely a piece of a missile case from an air force test,” he says.
What about the leaked UFO videos, like the one in the New York Times? Kirkpatrick says there’s not enough data to provide a definitive analysis of each one but insists that, like all the stories that came across his desk, they have mundane explanations that don’t involve space aliens. The rotating object shaped like a flying saucer is probably glare from a distant heat source. “The source could be any number of things. Even a weather balloon will give off that kind of glare if it’s got enough shiny metal on it, and the sun’s just right,” he says.
But evidence is not the point. Some will never be swayed. “There’s the absolute true belief, which would suggest it is more akin to a religion than an actual factual thing,” he says. “And those are the people that you’re never going to convince, no matter what you put in front of them. I can lay out the pictures of the classified programmes that they mistook, and they still wouldn’t believe it. They would say, ‘No, that was derived from alien technology.’”
And what if the government does eventually get its hands on aliens and their flying saucers? “It’s not their job [to keep it secret],” he says. “It would immediately get turned over to Nasa, and Nasa would immediately disclose it to everybody. That’s their job.”

It's been an interesting few years for UFO enthusiasts

In Moston a shiny silver object was seen 'randomly disappearing and reappearing in a cloudless sky'. Several bright white lights were spotted in Stalybridge ascending towards a bright star.
And in Stretford a 'white light streak' was caught on a doorbell camera zig-zagging across the atmosphere. They're just some of the dozens of UFO sightings reported across Greater Manchester over the last four years, a new report has revealed.
It's been an interesting time for UFO enthusiasts. Last year American fighter jets shot down an unexplained flying object - which was later identified as a Chinese balloon, suspected to be on a spying mission - as well as three other objects in or near American airspace.
Then whistle-blower Major David Grusch, a former Air Force intelligence officer, set the internet on fire when he claimed the US was concealing a long-standing programme that retrieves and reverse-engineers unidentified flying objects.
The intrigue has continued into 2024, with Ukrainian troops recording a huge disc-shaped object over the battlefield of Donetsk, while closer to home a hiker came upon a mysterious monolith on a hilltop in Powys, which he initially assumed was 'some sort of UFO', but has since left some speculating it may have been planted by aliens.

But despite increasing speculation about alien visitors online and in the media, the skies above the UK have been relatively quiet in the last year. In its annual report, the research group UFO Identified documented 395 sightings in the UK in 2023 - a 20% drop from 497 sightings in 2022 and lower than in 2021 (413) and 2020 (484).
Information was taken from social media, newspaper reports, and over 50 Freedom of Information requests, as well as from reports made directly to UFO spotter groups around the UK. According to the report, people in the North West had the best chance of seeing a UFO last year, with 41 sightings across the region, followed by the South East (40) and then the South West (39).

Ash Ellis of UFO Identified said: "Overall, it’s disappointing to see such a big decrease in reports this year, especially after the bumper year of 2022. This time last year we were hoping that a reduction in the stigma surrounding the topic would lead to more reports being filed, but this clearly hasn’t been the case.

"Hopefully, as we and other groups around the country continue giving people space and a platform to talk about their experiences that will help more people come forward and be confident to stand up and tell their story. Despite the reduced number of reports, we continue to see the same trends across different datasets.
"Whether that's the area in which sightings are being made, to the time of day, and the described shape of UFOs, and so on, these have all been consistent over the past four years. This, to me, tells us that there are areas which are more prone to seeing UFOs and we will be using this data to forecast areas of interest over the coming years."
A Mysterious Encounter in the Nordic Forests: The 1955 Northern Sweden Incident
A Mysterious Encounter in the Nordic Forests: The 1955 Northern Sweden Incident
In the tranquil expanse of Northern Sweden, amidst the dense forests and the serene Gulf of Bothnia, an extraordinary event unfolded in July 1955 that would remain etched in the annals of UFO encounters. This story, unearthed decades later, provides a compelling glimpse into the unknown, challenging our understanding of the cosmos and its inhabitants.
The Encounter Begins
The day started like any other for a forestry worker and his colleagues, who were tasked with timber delivery in the early hours of a warm July morning. Their objective was straightforward: complete the harvest before the sweltering heat became unbearable. However, their routine was abruptly interrupted by an unexpected sight—a cigar-shaped object maneuvering erratically through the sky, cutting a path through the treetops.
The Crash
The forestry workers watched in astonishment as the object descended towards the river, anticipating an explosive impact that never came. Instead, a brilliant light engulfed the area, illuminating the surroundings with an intensity that made daylight pale in comparison. This light, powerful enough to render the forest’s interior visible as if x-rayed, was followed by a forceful vacuum wave that drew everything towards the crash site.
Discovery of the Alien
Venturing towards the impact site, the workers expected devastation but found tranquility instead. The forest stood undisturbed, save for a few downed logs. The real discovery came at the forest’s edge, where they encountered a lifeless figure—an alien being, small in stature and clad in a uniform unlike any earthly material. Attempting to check for signs of life, one worker experienced a shock upon touch, prompting the being to awaken and communicate in perfect Swedish, warning against further contact.
A Dialogue with an Extraterrestrial
The being shared its origin, claiming to hail from near the constellation of the Eagle, and spoke of various intelligences from outer space visiting Earth. It revealed that while some extraterrestrial visitors come in peace to study or establish contacts, others might have different agendas. The conversation delved into the complexities of interstellar travel and the possibility of life beyond our understanding, painting a picture of a universe teeming with life and civilizations far advanced from our own.
The Final Moments
Before its death, the alien imparted instructions for its disposal in the river, ensuring its body would leave no trace through a mysterious chemical process. In its last breaths, the being shared words of wisdom and a perspective on life that transcended the boundaries of worlds, leaving a profound impact on the witnesses.
Legacy of the Encounter
The incident left behind more questions than answers, including a piece of metal—allegedly from the alien’s possession—as the only physical evidence of the encounter. The story, shared years later, stands as a testament to the possibility of life beyond Earth and the potential for encounters that challenge our understanding of the universe.
This incident in NorthernSwedenin 1955 remains a captivating chapter in the history of UFO encounters, inviting us to ponder the vastness of the cosmos and the mysteries that lie waiting to be uncovered. Whether viewed with skepticism or belief, the story encourages us to keep an open mind about the unknown and the myriad possibilities that the universe holds.

The Joe Rogan Experience: A Deep Dive into UFO Sightings
In the realm of the unexplained and the extraordinary, UFO sightings stand as a pinnacle of curiosity and debate. The notion of unidentified flying objects traversing our skies has captivated humanity for generations, spawning theories, research, and endless speculation. The discussions surrounding these enigmatic occurrences have taken many forms, from eyewitness accounts by credible observers to detailed examinations by government and private entities. As we delve into this intriguing subject, our aim is to explore the multifaceted nature of UFO sightings, shedding light on the technological, scientific, and speculative aspects that continue to fuel our fascination with the unknown.
At the heart of many discussions on UFOs are accounts from highly trained individuals, such as fighter pilots, whose credibility and expertise lend significant weight to their observations. These pilots, operating sophisticated military aircraft equipped with advanced tracking systems, have reported encounters with objects exhibiting capabilities far beyond our current technological understanding. One notable example involves a pilot sighting an object that dramatically changed altitude, from over 60,000 feet to just 50 feet above sea level in less than a second, defying known principles of aerodynamics and physics.
Such reports challenge our understanding of technology and propulsion, suggesting the existence of mechanisms and materials unknown to our current scientific paradigm. The debate often revolves around whether these sightings can be attributed to highly advanced drones, experimental aircraft, or even phenomena of extraterrestrial origin. Skeptics and proponents alike ponder the possibility of other nations possessing breakthrough technologies that could account for these observations.
The question of UFOs also intersects with government transparency and secrecy. There have been suggestions that top-secret programs exist, utilizing drones and technologies not yet disclosed to the public. This notion is supported by insiders and former defense department personnel, who claim the existence of spectacular yet classified photos and videos. The rationale for withholding such information often parallels the historical precedent of military projects like the stealth bomber, which remained under wraps until their strategic reveal became advantageous or necessary.
Furthermore, the discussion extends beyond terrestrial explanations to the cosmic scale, where the vastness of space and the statistical likelihood of extraterrestrial life come into play. The Drake Equation and Fermi Paradox provide frameworks for considering the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth, though evidence for visitation remains speculative and anecdotal. Yet, the continuous discovery of exoplanets within habitable zones adds a tantalizing possibility to the mix, suggesting that if we can imagine the technology for interstellar travel, others might already possess it.
In addressing the unknown, the scientific method remains our best tool. While a significant portion of UFO sightings can be explained through natural or man-made phenomena, a small yet persistent fraction defies easy categorization. These anomalies, while not conclusive proof of extraterrestrial visitation, invite further investigation and an open-minded approach to understanding the limits of our knowledge and technology.
As we stand on the brink of new discoveries, both in space exploration and technological advancement, the mystery of UFO sightings continues to provoke thought, debate, and exploration. Whether these phenomena are the result of human ingenuity, natural processes, or indeed, the evidence of other civilizations, the quest for answers remains a compelling testament to human curiosity and the unending quest to understand the universe and our place within it.
