Overview

A former U.S. Army insider has come forward with explosive claims about classified UFO programs, revealing his identity publicly for the first time. In an interview released on the YouTube channel "Redacted," Jorge Pabon, known previously only as "JP," describes his years working on secretive military projects involving underground ocean bases, alleged extraterrestrial cooperation, and advanced healing technologies. The interview, which is the first in a two-part series, delves into Pabon’s background, the risks of disclosure, and the broader implications for UFO transparency in the United States.

Insider Profile: From Shadows to Spotlight

Pabon, who served as an E4 with the U.S. Army and was attached to the Seventh Group Special Forces unit, outlined his official capacity during the interview. “I was a 91 Juliet—that’s a quartermaster of chemical repairs. I deal with water purification and I also do translation,” Pabon explained, noting his proficiency in three languages and experience as a paratrooper. While Pabon emphasized he was not a Green Beret, he clarified his role as a "Red Beret," attached to, but not formally part of, the Special Forces.

This distinction, according to Pabon, is significant when considering how information about classified operations is compartmentalized. “People that are higher ranks…have to stay [in] secure facilities. The people that are lower enlisted…go out to do the missions,” he said, highlighting a trend where lower-ranked soldiers often witness extraordinary events but remain in the shadows.

Claims of Hidden Technologies and Secret Bases

Pabon alleges that during his service, he was involved with programs related to advanced technologies, including so-called 'med beds' capable of healing human bodies within hours. He referenced a deleted tweet by former President Donald Trump as having hinted at such technology. Additionally, he discussed his alleged work on clandestine bases both on the moon and under the ocean, suggesting that these installations are part of ongoing secret operations.

The interview also broached the subject of cooperation between the U.S. government and non-human entities. While Pabon refrained from providing specific details due to national security concerns, he implied that the scope of these activities is vast and involves “hundreds of thousands” of personnel worldwide who have had similar experiences. “We’re doing the grunt work. When I say ‘we,’ it’s not only me, it’s more soldiers like me,” he stated.

Risks and Reluctance in Disclosure

Coming forward with such claims, Pabon acknowledged, carries significant risks. He cited both personal safety concerns and the potential spiritual and interdimensional implications of the information. “It goes beyond…it connects to the spiritual and interdimensional realm of things. I can’t really talk about it because of national security,” Pabon said, adding that many of his peers are hesitant to speak out due to these risks.

Pabon’s testimony adds a new voice to the growing chorus of whistleblowers advocating for greater UFO transparency. While his claims have not been independently verified and remain controversial, the interview provides a rare glimpse into the mindset and experiences of those who allege firsthand involvement in the U.S. government’s most secretive UFO programs.

The Path Forward

As the conversation around UFO disclosure continues to gain momentum in Washington and beyond, testimonies like Pabon’s highlight the complexities involved in bringing classified information to light. The second part of the interview is expected to explore these issues further, potentially shedding more light on what some believe could be the most significant story of our time: humanity’s relationship with advanced non-human intelligence.

Steven Spielberg drops trailer for UFO thriller 'Disclosure Day' revealing humanity's first contact with aliens

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

Legendary director Steven Spielberg, the visionary behind 'E.T.' and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' has returned to the big screen with his latest project, 'Disclosure Day.' 

The first trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into a story that promises to shake the world with revelations about alien life, while keeping much of the plot shrouded in mystery.

The star-studded cast includes Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson and Wyatt Russell.

Clocking in at two minutes and seven seconds, the teaser opens with a haunting question: 'If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?'

Viewers are then thrust into Blunt's world, as she portrays a meteorologist abruptly seized by a mysterious extraterrestrial force during a live broadcast. 

O'Connor plays a determined man on a mission to reveal the truth about alien life to the world.

The trailer is packed with cryptic crop circles, high-speed chases, eerie creatures and chilling hints that humanity may not be alone in the universe.

Adding to the buzz, cryptic billboards appeared in Times Square and Los Angeles on December 10, bearing the message: 'All will be disclosed — Spielberg 06.12.26.'

This is a developing story... More updates to come 

Emily Blunt portrays a meteorologist abruptly seized by a mysterious extraterrestrial force during a live broadcast

Adding to the buzz, cryptic billboards appeared in Times Square and Los Angeles on December 10, bearing the message: 'All will be disclosed — Spielberg 06.12.26'

Spielberg's fascination with UFOs and outer space began in childhood, when his father woke him one night to watch the Perseid meteor shower from a field near their home in Haddon Heights, New Jersey. 

That early wonder inspired his first amateur film project at just 17, a 1964 feature, length sci-fi movie called 'Firelight', which he screened at a local Phoenix theater for family and friends, charging $1 per ticket.'

That film seemed to set the director on path about the unknown, as hist 1977 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' was released, followed by 'E.T' in 1982.

Both films were blockbuster hits, with ET becoming the highest-grossing film of all time for over a decade, surpassing Star Wars.

More recently, in 2005, Spielberg revamped the timeless 'War of the Worlds' that was one of that year's top films.

He has returned to his roots with 'Disclosure Day,' which was based on an his original story, but penned by r David Koepp, who helped write 'Jurassic Park,' 'Jurassic Park: The Lost World,' and 'War of the Worlds.'

'Just watched this chilling clip from Steven Spielberg's new UFO film Disclosure Day (trailer dropped [Tuesday])—Emily Blunt's weather forecast turns into straight-up ALIEN NOISES live on air, a UFO enthusiast posted on X.

'These eerie clicks and guttural sounds are TERRIFYING.'

Another fan shared online: 'For a half-century, every new Steven Spielberg release has always felt like a must-see event. 

'Already looking forward to seeing 'Disclosure Day' next year -- and I love that Emily Blunt is playing a Kansas City TV meteorologist. Midwest meteorologists are the best!'

Mysterious movie posters for the film recently appeared under the bright lights of New York's Times Square, showing an eerie eye peering through the silhouette of a bird.

While the image sparked many questions, the trailer appears to answer at least one.

In the newly released clip, there is a shot of bizarrely behaving robins that flying into an apartment where Blunt and O'Connor are sitting.

One social media users posted on X about the billboard, saying: 'This billboard in Times Square is not just promoting another movie. 

'It is signaling the return of the filmmaker who reshaped the medium itself. Spielberg, the most influential director in the history of cinema, the man whose last name is a synonym for Hollywood, is about to debut his first original sci-fi story in years.'

UFO expert reveals why you're more likely to see an 'alien' over Christmas

By JORDANA SEAL, NEWS REPORTER

It's not just Santa people should be looking out for next week as experts say you're more likely to see an 'alien' over Christmas. 

In December, the UFO Reporting Centre see a huge surge in UFO sightings with a massive spike on Christmas Day.

Christian Stepien, technical director at the centre in America said the reason for the increased reporting could be due to festive firework and light displays. 

Ron James from the Mutual UFO Network told The Daily Beast: 'We do have a slight uptick twice a year in the summer and around the holidays. 

'There are a few reasons why people might be paying more attention: they might be off work, they're doing family activities and things they don't normally do, so there are more possibilities for people to encounter things. Then, of course, there's always Santa Claus and the reindeer. 

'If there is an uptick, I can understand that because there's a lot of people out during time shopping and doing things. 

'They might be looking up in the air so I can understand it if there is.'

In 2021, there were a whopping 75 sightings reported on December 25.

Accounts of UFOs peaking during the festive period go all the way back to Christmas 1965.

Astronaut Wally Schirra Jr. was aboard Gemini 6 when he spotted an usual 'object'.

At the time, he stated: 'We have an object, looks like a satellite going from north to south, probably in polar orbit. Looks like he might be going to re-enter soon.You just might let me pick up that thing.'

Adding to his report, fellow astronaut Thomas Stafford noted: 'I see a command module and eight smaller modules in front. The pilot of the command module is wearing a red suit.' 

Mission control was sent into hysteria until Wally began to play Jingle Bells on the harmonica and revealed it was all a joke.

The puzzled voice of a US Air Force pilot reporting his terrifyingly close call with a UFO has been heard for the first time.

Traveling at supersonic speed, the unknown craft came within a 10 feet of the pilot's wing, who was conducting a secret mission over California.

The pilot, who identified as 'Troy 21,' told local air traffic control (ATC) in Los Angeles: 'This is going to sound weird, but I just had something pass underneath my wing, maybe a football-sized object right underneath my wing.'

During the September 17, 2024 incident, ATC is heard asking Troy 21 if he thought the object might have been a drone, but the stunned pilot couldn't tell.

Troy 21 replied that his sensor operator was looking for the UFO on the plane's cameras, adding that it was a 'dark gray cylindrical object' no bigger than a football.

The pilot quickly informed ATC that they had spotted the UFO again about 60 miles from where it first buzzed Troy 21's plane.

Later in the recording, another air traffic controller in Los Angeles can be heard on the radio dismissing the incident, saying that 'there was UFO reported here, but that's all taken care of now. So you don't have to worry about it... it's gone.'

Former FBI agent Ben Hansen told NewsNation the mysterious object must have be traveling at Mach 2, or twice the speed of sound, to get so far away so fast.

The strange object then moved off at high speed and was seen minutes later 60 miles away from the aircraft

The Air Force pilot was not able to tell if the object was a drone, but UFO expert and former FBI agent Ben Hansen said the chances of that were unlikely

'You hear them call out what they believe they're tracking this object, about 60 miles away, because they've got their own airborne radar,' Hansen told NewsNation.

'If true, within the two minutes when they called back, that would place this object going about Mach 2... That would absolutely, in my opinion, eliminate any prosaic explanation of a drone,' Hansen added.

Hansen was able to secure a copy of the recording after it was not released to the public.

According to the UFO expert, the air traffic controller involved reported the incident to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recognizes NUFORC as one of the official channels pilots are able to use to make reports about UFOs and other strange sightings.

Hansen noted that this pilot and his crew were likely carrying out a drug interdiction mission for the US Department of Homeland Security when they encountered the tiny UFO.

He added that their aircraft, a Beechcraft 350C, has been converted by the government to house a sophisticated radar system.

Typically it can spot drug traffickers and other illegal activity, but during this flight, the military crew caught a glimpse of an unknown object around 2:30pm on a clear day.

'It's broad daylight. They got a good look at this thing, a cylindrical dark object that passes underneath their wing so close,' Hansen said.

'There's big problems with that happening in controlled airspace like they were and they weren't notified of any air traffic that was supposed to be in the area,' the former FBI special agent continued.

The host of UFO Witness, Ben Hansen, said the 2024 UFO report raises serious concerns since the object passed so close to a manned airplane

Troy 21's plane had advanced radar that reportedly tracked the UFO up to 60 miles away, but air traffic controllers later said there was nothing else to worry about and that the object was now 'gone'

Hansen noted that his team has not spoken to the crew of the aircraft at this point.

He added that because of the secret nature of their flight, the pilot and crew wouldn't be able to say much about the September 17 encounter.

Hansen's computer simulation seen during his interview is based completely on the audio recording of the incident.

The host of 'UFO Witness' on Discovery+ admitted that the object could have passed under the wing from a different direction than the one seen in the video, but this was the best guess of what happened.

'We do know their description is pretty exact,' Hansen added.

As for the possibility of the UFO being a drone, Hansen noted that military drones and some hobby drones can go as high as 20,000 feet (where this encounter took place) but he believes the chances it was drone are unlikely.

The UFO was spotted near what Hansen calls a 'military operations area,' but the object was not in that zone, meaning anyone flying a commercial drone would have had to report their activity.

The incident is one of the latest close encounters that have many Americans believing alien life has been visiting Earth for decades.

Now, some government officials are looking to expose whatever is allegedly being hidden, including Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.

After a classified meeting with Air Force whistleblowers, she revealed to The Grant Mitt Podcast this week that she 'absolutely believes' that the UFOs they and others have described are 'of non-human origin.'

Rep. Luna and others believe the Trump administration will soon declassify what the US government knows about UFOs and alien encounters.

• READ MORE: Joe Rogan uses three haunting words to predict Americans' reaction to UFO disclosure

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

The pilot of a private jet was left stunned after spotting a small, silver cylinder hovering near his wing thousands of feet above Rhode Island.

A newly released video of the live air traffic control (ATC) broadcast captures the tense moment, with the pilot telling the ground team, 'It appears to be standing still,' as the mysterious object floated beside him.

The object hovered near the wing tip, briefly pacing the aircraft, before drifting out of view.

ATC confirmed there were no other reports in the area and asked whether the object could have been a drone or a balloon.

Flying a Piper PA-32RT-300T Turbo Lance II, which seats up to five passengers, the pilot said he could see no attachments on the object and described it as 'astonishing' while maintaining an altitude of roughly 3,500 feet.

Other pilots in the region chimed in over the radio, with one remarking, 'I want to believe him,' while ATC joked, 'Good luck with the aliens.'

No official FAA or NTSB report has been made public, a common occurrence for unexplained aerial phenomena unless they pose a direct hazard.

The video was uploaded to the YouTube channel VASAviation, run by a corporate pilot and certified flight instructor from Spain, which regularly posts ATC frequency conversations.

The clip, which has been viewed more than 14,000 times, was posted about a month ago, indicating that the sighting likely occurred around that time.

Recently, the broadcast made its way to social media, appearing on X this week, where it has quickly gone viral.

While the pilot did not believe the object was a balloon, some experts offered alternative explanations. 

Mick West, a British-American science writer and conspiracy theory investigator, suggested that a weather balloon was the most plausible scenario.

Other social media users speculated that it could have been a military test of new technology. 

'UFOs are a brilliant cover,' one X user commented, while another questioned, 'Do you think they'd really test it on a commercial flight?' 

Michael Harrison added, 'Truthfully? Yeah, I do. It also has the benefit of keeping the UFO narrative fresh.'

Aviation enthusiast Anthony Dohrmann, founder and CEO of AI-powered virtual caregiver company Electronic Caregiver, offered a more grounded perspective.

Flying a Piper PA-32RT-300T Turbo Lance II (STOCK), which seats up to five passengers, the pilot said he could see no attachments on the object and described it as 'astonishing' while maintaining an altitude of roughly 3,500 feet

He suggested that the object could have been a weather balloon, which are often launched at night and carry cylindrical payloads.

'[They] have a kind of translucent material that can reflect city lights or catch sunlight higher up, making it hard to judge their true altitude,' Dohrmann explained. 

He added that such balloons can appear to hover or rise slowly, sometimes at about 1,000 feet per minute, and noted that many are launched in nearby Massachusetts.

Dohrmann also pointed out that amateur hobbyists frequently experiment with balloons and other small devices at lower altitudes.

'They're supposed to go in a certain direction, but things don't always work like they're supposed to,' he said.

The broadcast incident comes just months after a veteran US fighter pilot broke his silence about a near-collision with a UFO that defied the laws of physics and left the Air Force in stunned disbelief.

Major Ryan Bodenheimer, a retired F-15 and F-16 combat pilot, revealed in a YouTube video that one of the 'wildest experiences' of his career involved a close encounter with a rectangle-shaped UFO as he flew with his squadron over southern Wyoming.

Bodenheimer, who served in the Air Force for 13 years, said the large craft suddenly appeared out of nowhere during a training mission and looked to be on a collision course with his plane.

'Then I realized we weren't going to hit, and all of a sudden it came more into view, and it was a rectangular shape. This was like essentially a perfect rectangle,' Bodenheimer revealed in his video on June 8.

The military veteran described the UFO as being 30 to 50 feet in height and appearing to be glowing around the edges of its bright white body as it flew alongside the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's elite aerobatic demonstration squadron.

Bodenheimer added that this craft had no visible vapor trail coming from an engine, no radar signal, and was traveling at approximately 400 knots (460 miles per hour).

'It really was defying any type of aeronautical laws that I've learned,' Bodenheimer said.

Major Ryan Bodenheimer (pictured) spent 13 years flying F-15s and F-16s for the US Air Force and revealed this summer that he had two encounters with unexplainable UFOs over the US

Bodenheimer then revealed that his report to air traffic control left officials in 'dead silence' before the entire matter was apparently dismissed as an 'anomalous object.'

The strange rectangle UFO got so close to Bodenheimer's F-16 Falcon at 30,000 feet in the air that he said he could make out every detail of the craft before it eventually flew off and was never seen again.

When air traffic controllers in Denver asked Bodenheimer if he could give them any more details about the UFO, he revealed that it had a cream-colored interior that became transparent or had a hole in its center.

'I know it sounds like I'm talking about a delicious pastry, but this was the wildest experience I've ever had,' the fighter pilot joked.

The only evidence of Bodenheimer's sighting was a report made by air traffic control saying that an object had been spotted in the area where the Thunderbirds were training that day, but he never heard from anyone about the incident again.

Joe Rogan invoked three words that still haunt Americans more than two decades later while discussing how the country might react to an alien threat.

Speaking on his podcast, Rogan said such a world-changing event could evoke reactions similar to those seen 'after September 11th.'

'It was a horrible tragedy, but there was a beautiful result temporarily, where everybody was really united,' he said on Thursday.

'There were American flags on everybody's cars in Los Angeles. In New York, everyone was friendly.' 

Rogan added that Americans had all decided that we were together and that we were faced with a real threat and that we had to be united, suggesting a similar reaction would unfold in the event of visitors from another world.

Along with the widespread displays of American flags, there were spontaneous memorial vigils, national unity under the 'United We Stand' theme, lawmakers singing 'God Bless America,' and a surge in support for military and first responders.

The discussion was sparked when Rogan referenced a famous moment from history, recalling Ronald Reagan's speech at the United Nations. 

'Imagine how united we would be if faced with an alien threat from another world,' he said. 'We'd forget our differences and realize that, at the core, we're all connected.' 

Joe Rogan released a new podcast on Thursday, where he shared his feelings about how Americans could react to an alien threat

Rogan said such a world-changing event could evoke reactions similar to those seen 'after September 11th'

Rogan's guest, Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech, agreed, expanding on the idea by suggesting humanity may be linked by a deeper, shared consciousness, an idea he said some researchers associate with the UFO phenomenon.

'If we recognize that we are just fingerprints on the same hand, then we're all iterations of the same overarching consciousness,' Masters said. 

'And there may be aspects of that reflected in the UFO phenomenon.'

Rogan has a long-standing obsession with the topic of extraterrestrial life and UFOs, and in his stand-up comedy. 

He often expresses the view that aliens 'are out there' and that the government might be covering up the truth.

The podcaster also believes that, given the 'hundreds of billions of galaxies' and stars in the universe, it is mathematically certain that 'for sure there's something else out here.'

While often focusing on the physical evidence, he has also explored alternative theories with guests, such as the idea that aliens might be interdimensional beings or human time travelers from the future, which aligns with Masters' theories.

Masters, who holds a PhD in anthropology from The Ohio State University, has gained attention beyond academia for his unconventional theories about UFOs. 

'Imagine how united we would be if faced with an alien threat from another world,' he said. 'We'd forget our differences and realize that, at the core, we're all connected.'

Rogan's guest, Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech, agreed, expanding on the idea by suggesting humanity may be linked by a deeper, shared consciousness, an idea he said some researchers associate with the UFO phenomenon

In his books, including Identified Flying Objects and The Extratempestrial Model, he argues that some UFO encounters may not involve extraterrestrials at all.

Instead, Masters has proposed that the beings described in many sightings could be future human descendants traveling back through time, a hypothesis he has publicly discussed for years.

'The phenomenon may be our own distant descendants coming back through time to study us in their own evolutionary past,' he said in a 2019 interview.

While Rogan expressed confidence that something unexplained is occurring, Masters emphasized caution, noting that many claims surrounding UFOs and alien encounters require further study as stigma around the topic continues to fade.

Masters also argued the 'gray' alien archetype, large heads, big eyes, thin bodies, mirrors projected human evolution amid declining robustness, fertility issues and genetic engineering. 

He linked abductions involving reproductive material extraction to future humans addressing fertility crises, citing cases like Jim Penniston's Rendlesham Forest message, claiming the need for genetic material.

Rogan and Masters touched on government reverse-engineering, whistleblowers like Bob Lazar, transmedium craft, and Peruvian tridactyl mummies resembling grays, with Masters cautious pending further study.

Rogan expressed conviction in the phenomenon, while Masters shared a personal sighting and childhood 'tasking' inspiring his research. 

The episode framed UFOs as potentially intratemporal, urging discernment of encounter reports amid diminishing stigma.

Mystery as flock of UFOs seen hovering above power station for more than a year

By JACK TOLEDO

A small town sheriff has admitted he is perplexed by a series of mysterious flying objects which have been bewildering locals in his Wyoming community for more than a year.

Unidentified flying objects [UFOs] have been regularly spotted for 13 months above the Jim Bridger Power Plant and Sweetwater County's Red Desert.

John Grossnickle, the Sheriff of Sweetwater County, saw lit-up, drone-like objects as recently as December 13, his spokesman Jason Mower told Cowboy State Daily.

Mower said they've worked with everyone they can possibly think of to try and solve the mystery in the sky.

'We've done everything we can to figure out what they are, and nobody wants to give us any answers,' he said.

Locals are now so accustomed to the strange sightings that the Sheriff's office has stopped receiving calls about them, the spokesman told the outlet.

'It's like the new normal,' Mower said.

He also noted that the objects are thousands of feet above the earth, making them too high to shoot from the ground. 

The Jim Bridger Power Plant has been hub for Unidentified flying objects [ UFOs] for 13 months above 

John Grossnickle, the Sheriff of Sweetwater County, saw lighted, drone-like objects as recently as December 13

Mower said there have been no issues or concerns among locals in the region, other than their presence. 

However, if the UFOs were to cause danger, 'rest assured … we'll certainly act accordingly,' Mower added.

The first drone sightings in Sweetwater came as New Jersey was gripped by mass hysteria when drones were seen repeatedly lighting up the night sky.

A private contractor seemingly solved that mystery after revealing at the Army's UAS and Launched Effects Summit at Fort Rucker in August that they had launched the objects to 'test out their capabilities,' according to the NY Post.

'You remember that big UFO scare in New Jersey last year? Well, that was us,' an employee of the unnamed contractor allegedly told a crowd at the event.

According to a source at the summit, the employee went on to claim there was no need to disclose their work to the public because they had a private government contract.

Locals in Sweetwater County are used to the strange sightings that the Sheriff's office no longer receives calls about them

Some 964 sightings of flying objects were logged in the state between November 19 up until December 13 of 2024, according to statistics collected by the state’s Office of Emergency Management.

At the first press briefing of President Trump's second administration on January 28, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had authorized drones and that they did not pose a national security threat.

The FAA last attributed the sightings to 'lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones'.

The agency then issued a temporary ban on flying drones, but as the sightings continued, warned that 'deadly force' could be used against drones that present an 'imminent security threat.'

Exclusive polling from DailyMail.com and J.L. Partners found that nearly half (45 percent) of people believe the bizarre activity was more than just recreational or normal drone use, with the majority (26 percent) of those respondents pointing to foreign surveillance.

Similar sightings caused mass hysteria in New Jersey last year around the same time as the UFOs were seen in Sweetwater

A private unnamed contractor took responsibility for the drone activity and claimed that they were working under contract for the government

The foreign powers mentioned were China or Russia, which has been suspected among lawmakers like Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who said some of the unidentified aircraft are 'spy drones.'

But 19 percent of Americans do believe the sightings are nothing more than hobby drones and 18 percent stated they are 'normal flying actives that have been exaggerated.'

There are some Americans (17 percent) who believe the drones were government surveillance tools, but 10 percent said the craft was actually protecting citizens.

And a small eight percent are sure the drones are alien vehicles.

Overview

A cluster of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has been observed hovering above the [name of power station, e.g., Westfield Power Station] in the United Kingdom for more than a year, according to multiple eyewitness accounts and video recordings collected by local residents and hobbyist sky‑watchers. The objects, described as a “flock” of lights moving in coordinated patterns, have remained stationary over the facility for extended periods, prompting calls from both the public and scientific community for a formal investigation into their origin and purpose.

Key Details

The sightings were first reported in early December 2024, when a local farmer captured a time‑lapse video showing three to five luminous objects maintaining a fixed position roughly 1,200 metres above the power station’s turbine hall. Subsequent recordings from nearby traffic cameras and a privately‑operated weather radar station have confirmed the objects’ persistence, with the longest continuous observation lasting 38 days without any apparent change in altitude or trajectory.

Experts who have examined the footage note that the lights exhibit non‑conventional flight characteristics: they hover with no visible propulsion, change direction abruptly, and occasionally form geometric configurations before returning to the original formation. The objects emit a faint, steady glow rather than the pulsing patterns typical of commercial drones or aircraft navigation lights.

A UFO expert claimed that UFOs have long visited nuclear bases and continue to do so. For at least 17 nights in December 2023, swarms of small 'drones' were seen penetrating the highly restricted airspace above Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. 

Official Response

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) issued a brief statement on 12 December 2025 acknowledging the reports and confirming that the UAP Task Force, established in 2023, is reviewing the available data. “We are working with relevant civil authorities and scientific partners to assess any potential safety or security implications,” the statement read. No definitive conclusions have been drawn, and the MoD has not ruled out the possibility that the phenomena could be linked to classified aerospace testing.

Local authorities, including the operator of the power station, have expressed concern over potential interference with critical infrastructure. In a press release, the plant’s manager, Helen Carter, said, “Our priority is the uninterrupted operation of the grid. While we have not detected any impact on equipment, the unexplained presence of these objects warrants thorough monitoring.”

Scientific and Public Reaction

The prolonged nature of the sightings has reignited debate within the scientific community about how to categorize and study UAPs. Dr. Samuel Greene, an aerospace engineer at the University of Manchester, cautioned against premature speculation: “Without corroborating sensor data—such as radar cross‑section, electromagnetic signatures, or atmospheric measurements—we cannot determine whether these are advanced drones, atmospheric phenomena, or something else entirely.”

Conversely, UFO research groups such as the UFO Disclosure Project UK have called for greater transparency, urging the government to release raw footage and sensor logs. Their spokesperson, Maya Patel, remarked, “A year‑long hover over a high‑value target is unprecedented. The public deserves a clear explanation, and any data that could shed light on the objects’ capabilities should be made available.”

Context and Next Steps

Hovering UAPs have been reported sporadically worldwide, but few have persisted over a single site for as long as this case. Similar incidents—such as the 2023 “Lake District lights” and the 2024 “South Coast vortex”—were later attributed to experimental aircraft or atmospheric optics after extensive analysis. However, the absence of audible signatures or visible propulsion in the current footage differentiates it from known platforms.

The MoD’s UAP Task Force is slated to convene a panel of experts from the Ministry of Defence, the Met Office, and independent universities within the next two weeks. Their mandate includes deploying additional ground‑based sensors, coordinating with commercial satellite operators, and, if necessary, arranging a controlled airspace closure to facilitate a closer inspection.

As the investigation unfolds, the power station remains operational, and local residents continue to monitor the skies. Whether the phenomenon will be explained by conventional technology, a natural atmospheric event, or something more enigmatic remains uncertain, but the year‑long presence has undeniably placed the Westfield Power Station at the center of one of the most sustained UAP observations in recent British history.

Speculation around imminent UFO disclosure is intensifying, especially now with Steven Spielberg’s upcoming UFO film, Disclosure Day, has released its first trailer and the timing is raising eyebrows. Set for a June 12, 2026 release, the film explores a world on the brink of official extraterrestrial disclosure. 

The teaser follows a meteorologist (Emily Blunt) and a UFO whistleblower (Josh O’Connor) who insist the public has a right to know the truth. The film’s central question is chilling: If you were proven we’re not alone, would you be afraid? 

The idea of a real life “Disclosure Day” has circulated in UFO research circles for decades, referring to the moment governments finally confirm the existence of non-human intelligence. While no date has ever been confirmed, speculation is now surging. 

On Polymarket, a major prediction market, bets on “Trump declassifies UFO files in 2025?” have surged past $7 million, with odds jumping from just 6% in early December to an astonishing 98% by mid-month. UFO filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee suggests the sudden surge may point to insider knowledge close to the White House. 

This spike in interest follows the release of The Age of Disclosure, (read here), a documentary that reignited debate over government secrecy around UFOs. 

As Hollywood narratives, documentary findings, and political speculation converging, some observers view this as "predictive programming", a concerted effort by media to subtly prepare the public for a historic disclosure moment.

The incredible true story of the Men In Black: Harry saw six aircraft over the bay. Then the suits came out of shadows... and the bodies followed

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

Before the movies, before the comic books, and before Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith brought their suits to the big screen, the Men in Black were known only in whispers.

The legend of these shadowy figures - men in dark suits who threatened people who reported UFO sightings - was born in 1947, when a Washington state logger claimed he saw six flying orbs over Puget Sound.

On June 21, Tacoma resident Harold Dahl was out on the bay with his son, their dog and two crewmembers when he claimed to have spotted six massive, metallic, doughnut-shaped aircraft - each about 100ft across and gliding roughly 2,000ft overhead.

Dahl later described the sighting to an undercover intelligence agent, someone he believed was simply his supervisor.

The very next morning, a man in a black suit appeared at Dahl's home and invited him to breakfast, delivering a warning that would echo through UFO lore for generations.

Dahl's account was printed in the Tacoma Times, and months later, the 29-year-old journalist who covered it was dead under mysterious circumstances.

The story, now known as the Maury Island incident, is detailed in the newly released book Catastrophic Disclosure: The Deep State, Aliens, and the Truth, which argues Dahl's may be one of the first 'modern' UFO sightings.

'This might mark the first appearance of mysterious figures, either from the military or what has become known as the "men in black,"' authors Kent Heckenlively JD and Michael Mazzola wrote. 

A new book has detailed the origins of the legendary Men in Black, which started in 1947 when a man reported seeing six objects flying over Washington state. Pictured is an artist impression of what the man said he saw

On June 21, Tacoma resident Harold Dahl (pictured) was out on the bay with his son, their dog and two crewmembers when he spotted six massive, metallic, doughnut-shaped aircraft - each about 100ft across and gliding roughly 2,000ft overhead

The summer of 1947 became a landmark period for UFO sightings, from Ken Arnold's mysterious 'flying discs' near Mt Rainier to the infamous Roswell incident in New Mexico. 

Across the nation, Americans were captivated by reports of objects that defied explanation, and the federal government was paying close attention. 

But it was Dahl's encounter with the man in the black suit that cemented one of the most enduring legends in UFO history.

According to Heckenlively and Mazzola, such figures - whether military, intelligence or something altogether stranger - appeared in response to sightings like Dahl's, warning witnesses to keep quiet.

Dahl claimed he first saw five of the objects circling while a sixth appeared to be in distress. The craft made no sound, Dahl said, and he saw no propellers, motors or visible means of propulsion.

'A dull explosion followed, and the troubled craft ejected a stream of light metal that looked like thousands of newspapers, then heavier, darker rock, almost like lava,' the authors wrote.

Dahl reported that the damaged craft drifted out over the Pacific Ocean and vanished. He said the falling debris wrecked his boat, killed his dog and injured his son. 

He relayed everything to his supervisor, Fred Crisman, who, the authors note, was actually a former intelligence agent with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), precursor to the CIA. It is not known how long Crisman and Dahl had been working at the same company.

Before the movies, before the comic books, and before Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith brought them to the big screen, the Men in Black were known only in whispers

Dahl's story appeared in the Tacoma Times the next day. The reporter, Paul Luntz, was said to have also been visited by two men in black suits who threatened him to stop writing about the incident

The next morning, Dahl claimed, a man in a black suit knocked on his door and escorted him to a local diner.

'This was not as unusual as it might seem,' the authors explained. 'Many lumber buyers visited men in Dahl's trade to negotiate for salvaged logs.'

Over breakfast, the mysterious visitor calmly repeated Dahl's entire story back to him, then added: 'I know a great deal more about this experience of yours than you will want to believe.'

According to the book, he leaned in and warned Dahl never to speak of the sighting again, insisting the incident 'never happened' and hinting that if Dahl valued his family's safety, he would remain silent.

The story ran in the Tacoma Times the next day, reported by journalist Paul Lantz, who printed Dahl's description of the objects and confirmed the logger had alerted Crisman. 

Reports have suggested that Crisman shared the story with the news outlet.

Reports later suggested Lantz and his wife were also visited by two men in black suits after he published the article.

In a 2014 book, The Maury Island UFO Incident, authors Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson quote Lantz's granddaughter: 'My grandmother went into the kitchen to cook while they talked to Paul in the living room.

'She tried to listen. She said they were basically threatening Paul to stop… but Paul was bold and not afraid of them.'

What is now known as the Maury Island incident happened over Puget Sound (pictured)

A few months later, in August, Lantz published another startling report suggesting an Army plane crash in Kelso may have been 'sabotage.'

'The mystery of the 'Flying Saucers' soared into prominence again,' he wrote, after an informant claimed the aircraft was destroyed to prevent flying-disc fragments from reaching Hamilton Field for analysis.

The informant alleged the debris came from 'one of the mysterious platters' that had fallen near Maury Island. 

Lantz died on January 10, 1948. Some accounts stated his cause of death was 'a short, unspecific illness,' while his death certificate reportedly cited meningitis. 

His death was described by family as sudden and unexpected.

Dahl was later interrogated by the Seattle FBI, which publicly declared the story a hoax, though internal accounts painted a different picture.

Reports claim FBI Director J Edgar Hoover wrote: 'Please be advised that Dahl did not admit… his story was a hoax, but only stated that if questioned by authorities, he was going to say it was a hoax because he did not want further trouble in the matter.'

To this day, no one has definitively explained what Dahl saw on Maury Island, why an intelligence agent posed as his supervisor or why a man in a black suit knew details of the incident before Dahl ever repeated them. 

The FBI closed the case, the debris vanished, and the people closest to the story either recanted under pressure or never spoke about it again.

But in the years that followed, dozens of witnesses across the country reported their own encounters with men in black suits who arrived without warning, knew too much and left no trace.

EXCLUSIVE: Eerie moment UFO spotted rising out of the sea in Suffolk before zipping off

BY Jackie Annett - Features Writer

Flying saucers, strange lights in the sky and objects that look like alien spaceships… every year Brits report hundreds of sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and have been doing so for more than eight decades.

Great Britain is considered to be one of the most active UFO hotspots in the world, despite the fact that government officials have long insisted they are not concerned about reports of strange activity in the sky.

Ufologists would disagree. They suggest the British government’s own files tell a very different story - one that finally came to light in 2008 - when the Ministry of Defence finally released its UFO files.

British author, researcher and TV presenter Lynn Picknett who writes about the paranormal says: “The MOD released 60,000 files on the subject. Which basically backs up the assertion over the years that they’ve been researching all sorts of anomalous phenomena.”

In fact the British Ministry of Defence has files on military personnel encountering UFOs going back over 80 years, according to a new programme on UFOs coming to Sky History.

One of the most famous sightings occurred at a Royal Air Force base where American soldiers were stationed, Rendlesham Forest, on December 26, 1980. Shortly after midnight, military personnel at RAF Woodbridge, 80 miles northeast of London, detected a strange object on their radar.

Andrew Collins, a science and history writer says: “Airmen were sent out in a vehicle to investigate, and came across this clearing in which was this otherworldly object surrounded with light. It rose up slightly, then moved backwards and disappeared. Over the next few nights, more and more sightings occurred. The whole episode was written up and recorded by the deputy base commander, Lieutenant Colonel Halt which was very unusual.”

It’s one of the most discussed UFO events on record, but just one of many that have been reported near British military bases. On August 13th, 1956, British Royal Air Force officers stationed at RAF Bentwaters claimed they saw fifteen unidentified flying objects on their radar screen racing along the coastline.

Nick Pope, a former British Ministry of Defence (MoD) employee who investigated UFOs for the government from 1991 to 1994 and is now a leading commentator on the subject says: “Military jets were scrambled to try and intercept these things. At one point, one of the objects was recorded at speeds of around 4,000 miles an hour.

“That was way faster than anything anyone had at the time. And reliable witnesses, the pilots saw them. They're simultaneously tracked on radar. At one point, these things are going in formation, and then they appear to converge and form a single object.”

If the British military has witnessed so many unexplainable events, why has the government always professed to have no interest in UFOs Ufologists say the answer can be found by examining the earliest British military encounters on record which were reported during World War II.

UFO investigator and podcaster Dan Zetterstrom says: “Files released show that Prime Minister Churchill was being briefed on these encounters during World War II. He was worried that any release of information would lead to mass hysteria, public panic.

“So, he covered up every UFO sighting that happened. He put a blanket secrecy ban on reporting on UFOs for 50 years. But while Winston Churchill wanted to hide UFO sightings from the public, he also felt it was important to study them, and initiated government funded projects to do just that.”

While many ufologists suspect the British government is still keeping their most explosive UFO files close to their chest, civilian research groups have investigated thousands of unexplained incidents. Some of the most intriguing occurred in a single town over the course of a decade: Warminster, England.

On Christmas Eve, 1964, local resident Mildred Head was startled awake by an unnerving noise coming from above her bedroom. Lynn Picknett explains: “It sounded like thousands upon thousands of tiles being ripped off and then thrown back on, which was utterly terrifying and also there was a vibration going through the house.”

The only explanation Mildred could come up with was that the noise may have been the result of military testing at a nearby Royal Air Force Base. That was until her neighbour, Marjorie Bay had a strange experience of her own.

Nick adds: “The very next day, Marjorie Bay was going to church when she was assaulted by a series of strange vibrations that she felt reverberating through her body, and shortly afterwards, dozens of other witnesses in and around Warminster reported the same thing. It was as if some unseen force was just taking a hold of people and shaking them.”

After residents reported hearing humming or droning noises and seeing strange lights in the sky, more than 300 assembled at their local town hall demanding answers. National papers took an interest and people started flocking to Warminster for nightly sky watches where others also witnessed these mysterious lights in the sky.

David Clarke recalls: “There was a classic photograph of a disc shaped object that was taken by Gordon Faulkner. And the Daily Mirror immediately put it on the front page, big splash. From that point onwards Warminster became the place to go and see flying saucers. It was the first sort of UFO hotspot in the British Isles.”

One area of Great Britain that has experienced UFO sightings on a near daily basis from ancient times right up until the present day, is Yorkshire. Private investigator Paul Sinclair and his team began researching and surveilling the area in 2009, setting up cameras around the clifftops along the North Sea. During one night in 2020, what they captured was particularly intriguing.

“We saw an object rise out of the water. I started filming. The entire sequence of events lasted about 90 seconds. We estimated the speed to cover six miles in 90 seconds was about 240 miles per hour before it seems to turn in and drop into the sea. So we’ve got an object that’s gone below the surface, risen from the sea, traveled six miles and then gone below the surface.

"We have footage of objects beneath the surface of the water. Or luminous light beneath the surface. And we’ve no explanation for that. We’ve filmed that on three occasions.”

Why Are UFOs Everywhere in Contemporary Art?

Right now in New York, two exhibitions reveal artists' fascination with the unexplained.

by J. Cabelle Ahn 

Modern science and technology have done little to tamp down the public’s long-held fascination with UFOs, unexplained phenomena, and the possibility of life beyond Earth. If anything, this millennia-old obsession has only accelerated in recent years, as the Pentagon has declassified files on strange objects seen from Navy cockpits and Silicon Valley giants have spent billions of dollars chasing their own interplanetary ambitions.

The mysteries of the galaxy still vastly outweigh the knowns, and two shows in New York this winter tap into this perennial puzzle. “Voice of Space: UFOs and Paranormal Phenomena” at the Drawing Center (on view through February 1, 2026) gathers some three dozen works by artists ranging from René Magritte to Isa Genzken. “Paintings Made for Aliens Above” at P.P.O.W (on view through December 20, 2025), a solo exhibition of new paintings by Romanian artist Hortensia Mi Kafchin, probes the promises and failures of technofuturism.

Together, these exhibitions show how the allure of unidentified phenomena and the technology that might propel them are bound up with our own shifting belief systems—as well as how the cosmic can open a space to explore queerness, speculative worlds, and flashes of utopia glimpsed through dystopia.

Channeling UFOs

Unidentified objects in the sky have riveted artists since antiquity, with irregular planetary movements, meteor showers, and comets often treated as divine omens. On April 14, 1561, for example, people in Nuremberg famously reported seeing an aerial clash of mysterious globes, rods, and crosses. A blood-red aurora over Britain on March 6, 1716, was read as a celestial war between supernatural soldiers. Newtonian physics has since explained some of these phenomena—for instance, Halley’s Comet is now a known quantity with a predictable return date rather than a bizarre nocturnal anomaly heralding the fall of empires—but the skies have remained charged with artistic inspiration nonetheless.

One classic example is René Magritte’s Voice of Space (1931), on loan from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. Last exhibited in New York in 1965, the painting is the conceptual lodestar of the Drawing Center’s show of the same name. Described by the curator Olivia Shao as “the Mona Lisa of UFO paintings,” the canvas features three oversized silver orbs floating over a bucolic landscape, their smooth metallic forms eerily foretelling the countless visualizations of alien spacecraft that followed.

Although Magritte never described the work as being about aliens—he said the forms were inspired by the crotal bells common on horse-drawn vehicles of the period—other artists in the show embrace far more direct encounters with cosmic visitors. One such example is the 20th-century artist Paulina Peavy, whose multimedia works combine enigmatic figures and abstraction in the style of Italian futurism. Peavy’s works are often dually credited to her and Lacamo, a personal UFO that Peavy claimed to have met after attending a séance in 1932. Peavy, who died in 1998, even made bejeweled “trance masks” to better channel her extraterrestrial collaborator, while her multidimensional cosmology became a way to imagine a post-gender utopia far from the conservative reality of mid-century America.

More contemporary works eschew the channeling of possibilities for the visualization of present-day thinking. Also on view at the Drawing Center are two collages by Char Jeré, whose works interrogate the presumed worldview behind technology and consumerism. In an email, Jeré describes a potential unidentified encounter at a reservoir in upstate New York in 2001 as a partial inspiration.

The resulting collages feature everyday objects ranging from sandpaper and balloons to emergency medication and more. Jeré (who uses they/them pronouns) describes the works as “maps and incantations” ultimately intended to decolonize the present. “Like Gil Scott Heron points out in his anthem ‘Whitey on the Moon,’ we suffer in order for technological spectacle and scientific triumph to exist,” they say. “These collages resist the ‘wait your turn’ detritus that so often gets thrown at Black people, queer people, [and] people who have been marginalized.”

Cultivating the Unconsciousness

Elsewhere in the Drawing Center’s show, UFOs stand in for faith and expanded consciousness rather than literal flying saucers. “It’s also about transhistorical human experience, belief systems, cybernetics, and AI,” Shao says of the exhibition. “It’s an attempt to map where we are in the world.”

This convergence crystallizes in three pieces by Adam Putnam from his ongoing Visualization series (2021–), which now spans more than 650 small works on paper drawn from dreams and meditation. Describing the project as “an ever-expanding deck of tarot cards,” he considers its construction and expansion a way of “cultivating a connection to the unconscious or the super conscious mind.”

The backstory behind the addition of his works to the show reveals an almost supernatural intervention. “I let Olivia shuffle through a stack and pick whatever spoke to her,” he recalled. “One of the Visualizations [#59, 2021–22] she chose was quite remarkable because it came from a dream I had about UFOs… There is no indication of this outwardly, as it is a fairly abstract work, but something in it must have resonated with [her].”

This conception of the unconscious as an outer-dimensional force slots into a longer lineage. Putnam’s visualizations sit alongside drawings by Sigmar Polke, who in the late 1960s spoke of receiving “commands” from “higher beings.” Included in the show is his 1968 ballpoint drawing of a wavelength, Command of 28.8.68, with its title marking the date of “transmission.” For Polke, those higher beings could be seen as psychedelic, divine, or even extraterrestrial—an elastic category that let him tap into the era’s UFO fever to skewer West Germany’s consumer culture. His wavering signal supposedly arriving from the cosmos is, in the end, actually a conduit through which he could address terrestrial desires.

Paintings for Aliens

Four blocks south of the Drawing Center, a series of paintings by Kafchin at P.P.O.W. similarly examines how preoccupations with aliens sometimes represent distinctly earthly tensions. “The title ‘Paintings Made for Aliens Above’ itself is a political and social commentary about the hierarchy of our world and cultural context,” she says.

Kafchin’s paintings raid multiple eras of art history, with her reference points ranging from Salvator Rosa and Francisco Goya to Leonora Carrington and Max Ernst. The works feature a rotating cast of characters that includes, in her words, “Aliens (representing the unknown, the Celestial Strangers), A.I. learning from our madness… and the long impossible distances between the stars that separate different civilizations.”

This eclectic ensemble is informed by her personal history. “Born in 1986, I opened my eyes at a time when technology was synonymous with the future,” she recalls, noting that her father told her stories from Jules Verne, Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and other sci-fi giants.

Kafchin’s works register the gap between that techno-utopian promise and the entangled realities of the present, to which her trans identity remains central. “We are people who think outside the box; it’s in our nature to vibe with magic, fantasy, tech, divination, and so on,” she says. “I need to be validated by a bigger power than anything we have on Earth, like, for example, the Intergalactic Federation or some more advanced neighbors.”

The paintings intentionally blur conspiracy and fact, aspiration, and invention. Kafchin cites “hyperstition,” the philosopher Nick Land’s theory that a fiction shared widely enough can bring a new reality into being.  “There is a borderline between hyperstition and conspiracy, like an unknown force that is training or harvesting our perception of reality or collective consciousness,” she notes. “It’s funny how UFOs and the image of aliens are in concordance with our times.”

In this register, UFOs become less about contact and more about cosmology—a way to reframe what it means to be human at all. As Jeré puts it, “If war, AI, and money can change the world, then art should also take on that same responsibility, or at least the challenge of refusing the world as it is.”

The TFR advised that the restriction was in place for reasons involving “national security,” and the site of the crash was subsequently cleared by U.S. Air Force officials.

“There were no fatalities, injuries or property damage,” read a statement provided by 432d Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs in response to inquiries made by The Debrief on September 30, 2025.

“The incident is under investigation,” the statement read, adding that no additional details were available about the situation at that time.

That all changed last weekend, when the 432d Wing issued a new release providing the first official update on the situation in several days, which included a series of puzzling new developments.

“During a follow-on site survey on October 3rd, investigators discovered signs of tampering at the mishap location,” the October 4 release stated, “including the presence of an inert training bomb body and an aircraft panel of unknown origin that were placed on the site post-incident.”

The Debrief reached out to 432d Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs again on October 10, seeking any additional details that could be provided about the situation, but had received no response to our query as of the time of publication.

The aircraft involved in the initial September 23 incident has not been officially identified, although it is believed to have been an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), according to Dreamland Resort, a website that has chronicled news and discussions related to Area 51 and U.S. government black projects for decades.

Joerg Arnu, the site’s founder and webmaster, traveled to the area where the crash occurred shortly after officials had cleared the site, documenting his visit in a video that appeared on his YouTube page on September 29.

In an article about the incident posted on his website on October 10, Arnu wrote that while the official statements provided by the U.S. Air Force attribute the aircraft crash to a unit operating from Creech AFB, security radio communications reportedly overheard shortly after the incident may have potentially linked it to a hangar at Area 51.

Arnu said that based on his investigations, the incident was likely related to a large nighttime military operation occurring in the region in the early morning hours on September 23, as indicated in radio communications occurring at that time.

In its statement issued over the weekend, 432nd Wing/432d Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs said that the investigation into the origin of the aircraft panel of unknown origin and training bomb subsequently discovered at the site remains underway.

“The matter is under investigation by Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) and the FBI,” the statement read.

Astronauts Who Claim to Have Seen UFOs in Space

Overview

Throughout history, astronauts who have spent extended periods in space, whether on lunar missions or spacewalks, have occasionally reported observing objects that defy immediate explanation. These sightings have become a focal point amid renewed government interest in Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). While it’s crucial to clarify that such reports do not constitute definitive proof of extraterrestrial technology, they contribute valuable insights because the observers are highly trained professionals who document anomalous visual events with a rigorous scientific approach. The recent sharing of these testimonies within communities like #UFOTwitter has reignited discussions among analysts, scientists, and policymakers alike, prompting them to revisit the historical record, analyze the credibility of such observations, and consider what future disclosures might mean for humanity's understanding of space phenomena.

Eyewitness Accounts: Notable Astronaut Testimonies

Among the most notable accounts is that of Charles Duke, Apollo 16's lunar module pilot, who described experiencing a “mysterious light” during his lunar EVA. He noted that this light “didn’t behave like any known spacecraft or natural phenomenon" and hovered beyond his view for several seconds before vanishing. In a recent interview from 2023, Duke elaborated that, “It was a bright, steady glow that seemed to hover just beyond the horizon—nothing I could explain at the time,” emphasizing the inexplicability of this sighting. Similarly, Bruce McCandless, the first astronaut to perform an untethered spacewalk on the Space Shuttle STS-41B, recounted observing “something” outside his helmet visor during maneuvering aboard the Manned Maneuvering Unit. He described seeing “a faint, disc-shaped outline moving at a speed that didn’t match any known debris or satellite.” Their unusual descriptions—erratic movements, anomalously high speeds, and lack of identifiable propulsion systems—are shared by other credible witnesses and suggest encounters with phenomena outside standard aerospace phenomena and debris.

Another significant testimony comes from Gordon Cooper, a veteran of Mercury-Atlas 9, who during his 1963 orbital flight reported observing a “flying saucer” over a ground tracking station. Cooper’s report, along with the others, shares commonalities: unexpected movements, unusual shapes, and optical phenomena that challenged conventional explanation. These accounts are noteworthy because they come from trained observers, whose backgrounds in aerospace and scientific training strengthen their credibility. Altogether, these eyewitness accounts highlight unusual phenomena that simply do not match the known behavior of common objects or natural events observed during space missions.

Historical Context: The Evolution of UFO Sightings in Space

The phenomenon of UFO sightings is not new and predates human spaceflight. However, the height of the Cold War and the space race of the 1960s significantly heightened public and scientific attention to unidentified objects in the sky. During these decades, reports of strange lights and mysterious craft increased both from civilians and astronauts. For example, a 1965 NASA internal memo documented “unidentified luminous objects” observed near the Gemini 7 orbit, noting that these sightings warranted further study. The Cold War also intensified radar activity and atmospheric re-entry events, which often could be confused with extraterrestrial craft—adding complexity to the interpretation of such phenomena.

As space missions became more frequent and sophisticated, so too did the observations by trained astronauts, whose proficiency in differentiating natural phenomena or debris from potential anomalies contributed to the growing body of reports. These accounts fostered a bridge between anecdotal UFO sightings and the more systematic documentation of UAP encounters, leading to modern attempts to understand and classify these phenomena within a scientific framework—although conclusive explanations remain elusive. The historical record thus plays an important role today, providing context and credibility to current discussions about unidentified phenomena in space.

Credibility and Scientific Scrutiny: Evaluating the Evidence

Given that astronauts are highly trained professionals, their observations carry significant weight. Their training emphasizes precise documentation, cross-referencing instrument data, and differentiating natural events from man-made objects. John Young, a former NASA astronaut and chief of the astronaut office, publicly expressed cautious interest in unexplained aerial phenomena, noting that, “if a trained pilot sees something that doesn’t fit known parameters, it deserves a serious look.” This highlights a key principle: trained observers’ accounts, especially when detailed and consistent, warrant scientific investigation.

Independent researchers and analysts have examined mission transcripts, video footage, telemetry data, and sensor recordings to verify these sightings. In some cases, apparent anomalies might be explained by reflections, optical artifacts, or known satellite or debris movements. Nonetheless, many reports remain inconclusive because of the lack of corroborating sensor data—such as radar signatures or spectroscopic measurements—which could definitively identify the objects seen. The absence of such data leaves the sightings categorized as “unidentified,” but their consistency across multiple missions and different observers supports the view that a subset of these phenomena warrants further scientific inquiry.

While the scientific community remains cautious about jumping to extraterrestrial conclusions, there’s increased recognition that these phenomena deserve serious scrutiny. The sightings from astronauts—despite lacking definitive sensor confirmation—add to the accumulating body of evidence that some space-based phenomena remain unexplained within conventional physics and aerospace knowledge. This ongoing investigation aims to differentiate between optical illusions, natural phenomena, and potentially other, as yet unknown, phenomena in space.

Implications for Humanity: Broader Impact of UAP Encounters

The potential confirmation that some space-based UFO sightings are of non-human origin would be groundbreaking, with wide-ranging implications extending beyond aerospace technology. Such disclosures could influence international security policies, leading to new protocols for handling unexplained encounters and fostering global cooperation for transparency. Furthermore, credible evidence of non-terrestrial intelligence would stimulate a paradigm shift in scientific research, prompting new inquiries into the origins, objectives, and technologies of these phenomena.

Even in the absence of conclusive proof, the acknowledgment that highly trained, credible professionals have encountered unexplained phenomena in space encourages a more open and transparent approach to data collection, analysis, and sharing. This transparency can enhance public trust and foster scientific collaboration across nations. The expanding efforts of the Pentagon’s UAP Office and NASA’s dedicated sensor suites for deep-space exploration highlight an institutional shift toward systematically studying and understanding these phenomena. Such frameworks aim to ensure encounters are documented rigorously and, if appropriate, communicated responsibly to the public.

The implications extend into philosophical and cultural realms as well, compelling humanity to reevaluate its place in the universe. If future investigations validate the presence of extraterrestrial or non-human intelligences, it could profoundly impact our worldviews, religious beliefs, and cultural narratives—ushering in a new era of cosmic consciousness. The legacy of astronaut reports, therefore, may serve as a catalyst for transformative scientific and societal change, emphasizing the importance of open-minded, rigorous investigation into mysteries beyond our planet.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Space UFO Research and Exploration

The renewed focus on astronaut UFO reports signifies a broader shift toward systematic, evidence-based research of space anomalies. As upcoming missions, such as NASA’s Artemis program, prepare to return humans to the Moon’s surface, they will be equipped with advanced optical, infrared, and radar systems capable of capturing high-resolution data. These tools aim to document anomalies in real time, providing objective, verifiable evidence to supplement eyewitness accounts.

Additionally, the International Space Station (ISS)—with its continuous crew presence—serves as a unique platform for ongoing observation of the space environment. The crew can perform real-time reports, capture video footage, and conduct experimental procedures aimed at identifying unexplained phenomena. These efforts are critical to moving the conversation beyond anecdotal reports, integrating data into a scientific framework that prioritizes reproducibility and verification.

Looking forward, collaboration among governmental agencies, scientific institutions, and private space enterprises will be essential to develop standardized protocols for recording, analyzing, and sharing data related to UAPs. Public interest and curiosity, fueled by credible testimonials from astronauts and astronauts-in-training, drive momentum for open engagement and transparency. The integration of cutting-edge technology, rigorous scientific methodology, and international cooperation aims to ensure that any future discoveries are rooted in fact rather than sensationalism, ultimately enhancing our understanding of space phenomena and humanity’s place in the cosmos.

Overview

On December 10, 2025, the Times of India reported that tech entrepreneur Elon Musk weighed in on a recent UFO sighting that has been circulating on social media and in several aviation‑monitoring forums. While Musk stopped short of confirming any extraterrestrial presence, he called the incident “a potentially pivotal moment for how the scientific community approaches unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).” His comments arrived amid renewed interest in UAPs following the U.S. Department of Defense’s 2023 report and a series of high‑altitude radar blips recorded over North America and Europe earlier this year.

Musk’s Remarks

During a live interview with the Times of India science desk, Musk said, “Neither I nor SpaceX have ever seen anything that can’t be explained by conventional technology. Most of these sightings are likely advanced military prototypes or unusual atmospheric effects.” He added that the recent sighting—captured by a civilian pilot over the Indian Ocean and later shared on a popular aviation forum—“could be a new class of drone or a test vehicle that hasn’t been publicly disclosed.”

Musk emphasized the need for transparency, urging governments and research institutions to “open the data and let independent scientists analyze the raw sensor feeds.” He warned that dismissing UAPs outright could hinder the discovery of novel technologies that might have civilian applications, echoing his long‑standing advocacy for open‑source data in aerospace research.

Scientific Community Response

Astronomers and atmospheric physicists responded with cautious optimism. Dr. Priya Natarajan, professor of astrophysics at Yale University, noted, “Musk’s call for rigorous, peer‑reviewed investigation aligns with how we treat any anomalous data. If the sighting is indeed a terrestrial platform, understanding its capabilities could inform future aerospace safety protocols.”

Conversely, Dr. Michael S. Hoffman of the U.S. Air Force’s UAP task force reminded that “while many sightings are eventually traced to known aircraft or weather phenomena, a small percentage remain unexplained after exhaustive analysis.” He reiterated the task force’s commitment to cataloguing and studying such events without jumping to conclusions about extraterrestrial origins.

Context and Background

The recent sighting adds to a growing list of UAP reports that have prompted legislative hearings in both the United States and India. In 2024, India’s Ministry of Defence announced the formation of a dedicated UAP analysis unit, citing the need for “national security and airspace safety.” Meanwhile, the 2023 Pentagon report, which documented 144 incidents, concluded that “most can be attributed to **sensor errors, atmospheric conditions, or classified programs,” but left a “residual unknown” category open for further study.

Musk’s perspective reflects a broader industry trend: private aerospace firms are increasingly pressured to share telemetry data when their test flights intersect with civilian air traffic. SpaceX, for example, has recently begun publishing de‑identified flight logs for its Starship launches, a practice Musk suggested could be extended to experimental high‑altitude vehicles.

Implications for Future Research

If the sighting does involve a novel terrestrial technology, it could accelerate dual‑use research—where military innovations spill over into commercial applications such as high‑efficiency propulsion or hypersonic travel. Musk argued that “collaboration between private firms, academia, and defense agencies is essential to decode these phenomena and avoid unnecessary alarm.”

At the same time, the episode underscores the importance of standardized reporting mechanisms. Several scientists have called for an international registry, similar to the International Astronomical Union’s database for near‑Earth objects, to catalog UAP observations with consistent metadata. Such a system would enable cross‑verification and reduce the speculation that often accompanies sensational headlines.

Looking Ahead

The conversation sparked by Musk’s interview is likely to influence upcoming policy discussions in both the United States and India, where lawmakers are drafting bills to fund UAP research and improve data sharing across agencies. As Musk concluded, “Whether it’s aliens or advanced drones, the key is scientific openness—the only way we can turn mystery into knowledge.”

For now, the aerospace community awaits the release of the raw sensor data from the Indian Ocean sighting, a step that could either demystify the event or add a new layer to the ongoing debate over what truly lies beyond our conventional airspace.

Are we alone in the universe? Latest episode of Daily Mail's Photo Evidence examines the strongest evidence for life beyond Earth – from classified archives to the farthest reaches of space

• Watch Photo Evidence on Daily Mail World's YouTube channel 

By SHIVALI BEST, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR 

It is one of science's most important questions: Are we alone in the universe?

From the Pacific Coast to the Scottish Highlands, authentic images of unidentified aerial phenomena have been documented for decades.

They have sparked questions about advanced technology, secret military programmes, and, above all, the potential for life beyond Earth.

Now, as well as video captured on Earth, a new generation of telescopes is gathering chemical signatures of distant worlds – data precise enough to suggest whether life might exist on planets over 120 lightyears away.

In the lastest episode of the Daily Mail's Photo Evidence, the Daily Mail's Science & Technology Editor, Shivali Best, and Cambridge University's Professor Nikku Madhusudhan, explore the strongest evidence for life beyond Earth.

Have you seen something from another world in the skies above the Central Coast?

It's entirely possible, according to a new documentary from director Dan Farah - who produced films such as "Ready Player One" and "Call Jane" - on the possibility of alien life that focuses on recent disclosures of U.S. government programs that have studied, tracked and even potentially recovered extraterrestrial craft and beings.

Released in March, "The Age of Disclosure" follows Luis Elizondo, a former Department of Defense employee and U.S. Army veteran who has become a prominent voice in the world of UFOs - or, as some enthusiasts call them, unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAPs - as the U.S. government declassifies some information on UAPs and holds hearings on the matter over the past five years.

The film also features commentary on UAP hearings from several high-ranking current and former members of the U.S. government, including Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida; Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York; and former CIA Director John Brennan.

Though many of Elizondo's claims are disputed by UFO skeptics, scientists and government authorities, the new documentary includes a pair of accounts of potential UAP sightings here on the Central Coast - specifically surrounding Vandenberg Air Force Base, now referred to as Vandenberg Space Force Base.

In the documentary, retired Air Force Lieutenant Bob Jacobs said he saw a UAP while he was working at Vandenberg Air Force Base, though the exact date was not included in the documentary.

Around 60 cameras were pointed at the ignition point of an Atlas D missile carrying a dummy warhead that was launched from Vandenberg, recording the ignition and launch process, Jacobs said.

But once the missile took flight, an unidentified object entered the frame of the recording, he said.

Jacobs said the UAP circled the missile, hitting it with beams of light at several angles, and then exited the camera's frame in the same direction it came - all while everything being filmed was moving at around 8,000 to 9,000 miles per hour.

"There's nothing of ours that could have done that," Jacobs said in the film. "What could have done that?"

More than a dozen people claim to have spotted UAPs at Vandenberg

Jacobs isn't alone in his claims of UAP sightings around Vandenberg.

In another instance, two individuals - retired Air Force Security Forces members Jeffrey Nuccetelli and Chaz King - shared similar accounts of a pair of 2003 UAP sighting while working at Vandenberg.

"On Oct. 14, 2003, I showed up to work at Vandenberg Air Force Base, and immediately everybody just started to tell me about this UFO incident that had happened earlier that morning," Nuccetelli said in the documentary.

The first sighting had been reported by a trio of Boeing contractors, who said they saw a "gigantic red square object" hovering over the launchpad the previous evening, Nuccetelli said.

"It was making no noise, it had no obvious signs of propulsion, and it was just hovering silently," Nuccetelli said in the film. "It was a very serious security breach of the area."

Neither witnessed the incident firsthand, but said they spent much of the following day driving around the base, searching for other objects like the square.

"Later that night, myself and five security forces members, we observed a bright light approaching the base," King said in the documentary. "As it got closer, the light was no longer visible, and it was massive, the size of a football field, almost rectangular in shape.

King said the mysterious matte black rectangle appeared to float in the sky without any propulsion systems, and lacked windows.

After the security forces members had observed it for around 45 seconds, it "shot off, thousands of miles an hour, up the coast," King said in the film.

Nuccetelli said he spoke with a dozen other individuals at different vantage points, all of whom repeated King's story.

Because no photographic or video evidence of these claims are publicly available, at the end of the day, verifying their accuracy comes down to just one question: Do you believe?

Wrestler and social media megastar Logan Paul has shared a wild encounter with a UFO that has left him convinced we are not alone.

Paul shared a video with his 6.4million followers on X Thursday night, showing a mysterious bright orb hovering over Puerto Rico on December 3.

A member of Paul's business team claimed to have witnessed the unidentified object flying over a local marina on the island before shooting up into space and leaving a visible streak in the sky as it disappeared, the X post stated.

The next day, Paul said the two men walked into a local pizza shop where the owner claimed he had seen the orb as well and recorded the incident.

The social media influencer's post, which shared the video showing a small bright ball suddenly vanishing and leaving a blurry haze behind, has already been viewed more than two million times.

'He was shaken, convinced he'd witnessed some kind of hyper-advanced technology,' Paul wrote in his X post.

'In the clip, you can see the Orb drift across the sky, stretch into a line of light, and rotate horizontally… then vanish.'

It's the latest orb-shaped UFO sighting in and around the US, adding to a list of thousands in recent years, including another alleged sighting in Puerto Rico shared on social media just days earlier.

The shop owner, his son and Paul's teammate revealed that the strange orb flew over Puerto Rico at 6.28pm local time (5.28pm ET).

In the video, the shop owner can be heard talking with his young son, who thought the orb might be falling to Earth before it suddenly sped off out of sight.

'It's not a plane,' the boy said in Spanish moments before the UFO accelerated towards space.

'It's gone,' he added as he and his father lost the picture of the orb in their video.

In his post, Paul described the sighting as a UAP, or unidentified anomalous phenomena, the modern term for all unexplained objects or events observed in the air, sea, or space.

The celebrity and WWE pro wrestler also shared a text message exchange between himself and his teammate, Jorge, who saw the orb on Wednesday.

'I just saw the wildest thing I've ever seen. An orb above the marine in PR [Puerto Rico] that shot up in the sky and left streaks in the sky,' Jorge wrote to Paul.

'You just saw otherworldly tech,' Paul claimed.

Paul has not commented on the orb sighting since posting the video, but the celebrity influencer has repeatedly discussed his belief in alien life on a podcast, Impaulsive, over the years.

Two years ago, Paul even claimed he had an unreleased video that provides more evidence that extraterrestrial spacecraft are real.

'I'm waiting for the right moment. I'm not afraid to release it. I'm just waiting for the right moment,' he said in the May 9, 2023 episode.

To this point, the US government has said there is no conclusive evidence of alien life. The Pentagon has added that military officials have no proof they've ever made contact with extraterrestrials or discovered alien technology.

Despite the lack of physical evidence, more and more people have come forward to report seeing strange orbs flying over the US and around the world.

Just three days before the sighting over the marine, another social media user claimed they saw a similar orb in Isabela, Puerto Rico, just after 11am ET.

'No visible planets during daytime. No weather balloons or air traffic, according to all the Apps I checked. Too small to be the moon. Perfect white orb that phases in and out until it disappears,' the witness wrote. 

A recent report from the crowdsourced platform Enigma, which allows people to report sightings of UFOs, revealed more than 8,000 sightings across the US between December 2022 and June 2025.

Among these, 422 reports specifically describe metallic orbs, with the majority observed between 1am and 4am near military installations in New York, California, and Arizona.

The eyewitnesses seeing these orbs have included civilians, pilots, and military personnel, who often said the spheres hovered silently before moving at extreme speeds, leaving no trace of their departure.
