Former Navy pilot testifies that he witnessed UFOs with his ‘own eyes', calls on Biden to investigate
Former Navy pilot testifies that he witnessed UFOs with his ‘own eyes', calls on Biden to investigate
'I am a formally trained engineer, but the technology they demonstrated defied my understanding,' the former pilot said
Jeremy Corbell talks about the origins of the "Mosul Orb," which was recorded by a military reconnaissance plane flying over Mosul, Iraq in 2016.
Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot who testified that he witnessed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) with his own eyes, called on President Joe Biden to investigate the mysterious objects spotted in American airspace.
Graves, a former fighter pilot, explained that after 2014, when "upgrades were made to our radar system, our squadron made a startling discovery: There were unknown objects in our airspace."
And these were not "mere balloons," like the Chinese spy balloon that dominated the country’s attention in February.
"These were no mere balloons. The unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) accelerated at speeds up to Mach 1, the speed of sound. They could hold their position, appearing motionless, despite Category 4 hurricane-force winds of 120 knots. They did not have any visible means of lift, control surfaces or propulsion — in other words nothing that resembled normal aircraft with wings, flaps or engines."
These are not isolated incidents, Graves argued in an article headlined, "We have a real UFO problem. And it’s not balloons."

These are not isolated incidents, Graves argued in an article headlined, "We have a real UFO problem. And it’s not balloons."
"The point is that we don't have as clear an understanding of what's above our heads as we thought we did," Graves told Fox News Digital.
"There are uncertainties up there that we have to deal with. If we don't with it our adversaries are going to take advantage of that uncertainty, that weakness, to spy on us with various means, as we've seen," he added.
"It's pretty clear. If there are things over our head [that] we're not sure what they are, well we need to figure it out. If they're adversarial, it's a national security issue, we have mechanisms for that. If it's not a national security issue, if it's not an adversarial platform, then it's a matter for scientific inquiry."
Graves echoed that sentiment in his Politico article, writing that if "the phenomena I witnessed with my own eyes turns out to be foreign drones," he continued, "they pose an urgent threat to national security and airspace safety."
"I am a formally trained engineer, but the technology they demonstrated defied my understanding," Graves said of UAPs.
(FOX News)
Graves wrote that UAPs were unlike anything he had ever seen before.
"I am a formally trained engineer, but the technology they demonstrated defied my understanding."
It was an experience that convinced the Navy pilot that the U.S. government had a responsibility to acknowledge UAPs.
"Our government needs to admit that it is possible another country has developed game-changing technology."
Graves also shared a quote from deputy director of the Office of Naval Intelligence, Scott Bray.
"We were quite confident that was not the explanation," Bray reportedly told Congress when asked if the UAPs were part of a US military classified project.
"We were quite confident that was not the explanation," Bray reportedly told Congress when asked if the UAPs were part of a US military classified project.
(Fox News)
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, R, also confirmed that the origin of these UAPs is not the U.S. military.
"We have things flying over our military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises and we don’t know what it is and it isn’t ours," said Rubio, who is vice chair of the Intelligence Committee.
Rubio said that UAPs were a risk to national security on Twitter.
"Advanced objects demonstrating advanced technology are routinely flying over our restricted or sensitive airspace posing a risk to both flight safety & national security," he tweeted.
"The Navy has officially acknowledged 11 near misses with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena that required evasive action and triggered mandatory safety reports between 2004 and 2021," Graves shared in the bombshell report for Politico.

Russia scrambles fighter jets after UFO entered St. Petersburg
Russia scrambles fighter jets after UFO entered St. Petersburg
After an unidentified flying object (UFO) was sighted over the Russian city of Saint Petersburg on February 28, Russia scrambled its fighter jets to intercept the unknown mystery object which was allegedly seen flying in the direction of the gulf of Finland.
200 square kilometers of airspace were blocked, and the neighboring Pulkovo Airport stopped admitting flights for landing. According to Russian News agencies, the Kover plan was activated in Saint Petersburg due to an unidentified object in the sky. Aircraft were banned from entering Pulkovo Airport. The limitations were later lifted. (The Kover plan is used in illegal border crossings or imaging.)
Although some Russian media reports suggest that the UFO was possibly a drone in the area, you may wonder whether it was a drone or an unidentified flying object similar to the unknown objects flying over the US.
Passengers Spot Unidentified Objects During Approach to Boston Landing
Passengers Spot Unidentified Objects During Approach to Boston Landing
UFOs filmed from a plane over Boston
A recent UFO sighting has left passengers and aviation enthusiasts alike scratching their heads. On February 9th, 2023, passengers aboard Jet Blue flight B6 178 witnessed a series of strange glowing orbs while approaching Boston for landing. One passenger, who captured the footage on their iPhone 12 Pro Max, shared their experience on Reddit.
The witness reported that they were unsure of the exact location of the flight at the time of the sighting, but believed it occurred approximately 30-45 minutes prior to landing. The video timestamp indicated that it was 7:53 PM, although this was likely in Vegas time as the phone had not yet switched back to east coast time due to being in airplane mode. The orbs were first spotted by the passenger’s friend who was seated in the window seat, and they appeared to be unusually close together, causing concern for the safety of the plane.
Upon reviewing the footage, the orbs appeared to be glowing orange with a yellow or white outer layer. The objects also seemed to change shape, almost like a liquid. The witness noted that they wished they had zoomed in more at the time of filming, but had forgotten about the sighting until they recently stumbled upon the footage on their phone.
The witness was eager for someone to enhance the video to see if more detail could be pulled from the footage. While the format of the video is unknown, the witness offered to send the footage to anyone willing to assist in analyzing it.
UFO sightings are not uncommon, and often there are explanations for what witnesses report as strange objects in the sky. However, in this instance, the orbs’ behavior and the proximity to the plane have raised questions and sparked curiosity among those interested in the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
It’s worth noting that aviation authorities take UFO sightings seriously, and they investigate any sightings that may pose a potential threat to air traffic safety. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) even has a protocol for pilots to follow when encountering UFOs, and they encourage pilots to report any sightings they have.
While this particular sighting may remain a mystery, it serves as a reminder that there is still so much we do not understand about our world and the universe beyond it. Perhaps further analysis of the footage will provide some answers, or maybe it will leave us with even more questions. Either way, the curiosity and wonder that comes with sightings like this are part of what makes life on this planet so fascinating.
Fighter Jets Scrambled and Airspace Closed as Unidentified Flying Object Spotted over Russia
Fighter Jets Scrambled and Airspace Closed as Unidentified Flying Object Spotted over Russia
Pulkovo Airport, St Petersburg
Russian airspace was closed temporarily after reports of an unidentified flying object spotted in the skies over St. Petersburg. The closure of airspace within a 120-mile radius of Russia’s Pulkovo airport caused several domestic flights headed for St. Petersburg to be diverted or sent back to their original point of departure. The incident saw Russian interceptor jets scrambled to search for the unknown object. According to various media reports, the object could have been a large drone.
The incident happened at a time of heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with Russia building up its military forces near the Ukrainian border. The closure of airspace came just weeks after reports of Russia test-firing a missile, leading to concerns about a possible war between the two countries.
The closure of airspace over Russia highlights the increasing threat posed by drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles to air travel. The proliferation of drones in recent years has led to numerous incidents involving near misses with commercial aircraft. In 2018, Gatwick airport in the UK was closed for 33 hours after drones were spotted flying over the airport, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights and disrupting the travel plans of tens of thousands of passengers.
While most drones are used for harmless recreational activities, they can pose a serious threat to air travel if they fly too close to commercial aircraft. As drones become more sophisticated, with longer flight times and higher speeds, the risk to air travel is likely to increase. Air traffic controllers and aviation authorities are taking steps to mitigate the risks posed by drones, including introducing stricter regulations and developing new technology to detect and intercept rogue drones.
It is important to note that while the incident over Russia was initially reported as an unidentified flying object, there is currently no evidence to suggest that it was of extraterrestrial origin. However, the incident has reignited interest in UFOs and aliens, with many people speculating about the possibility of a government cover-up or conspiracy.
Strange, ‘Triangle Shaped’ Flying Object Spotted in Utah Skies!
Strange, ‘Triangle Shaped’ Flying Object Spotted in Utah Skies!
UFO sightings and alien visitations have captured the imagination of people around the world for decades, if not centuries. From the first modern UFO sighting in 1952 to the recent release of the Pentagon’s 2022 UFO report, we have seen numerous instances of mysterious objects in the sky that defy conventional explanation. However, the question remains: are these sightings evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life, or merely misidentified natural or human-made phenomena?
The history of UFO sightings is full of interesting anecdotes and controversies. For example, the term “flying saucer” originated from a misinterpretation of a pilot’s description of the motion of UFOs in 1947, and quickly became a popular meme in the media and the public. The famous Roswell incident in 1947, where an alleged crashed UFO and alien bodies were recovered by the military, has been a subject of heated debate and conspiracy theories ever since. The so-called “Men in Black”, mysterious figures who allegedly intimidate or silence UFO witnesses, have become a pop culture icon. These and other stories have contributed to the cultural fascination with UFOs and aliens.
However, the scientific community has generally been skeptical of UFO sightings as evidence of alien visitations. While many scientists acknowledge the possibility of extraterrestrial life in the vast universe, they also emphasize the lack of conclusive evidence that UFOs are of alien origin. Instead, they argue that most UFO sightings can be explained as natural phenomena (such as meteorites, weather balloons, or optical illusions), or human-made technologies (such as experimental aircraft, drones, or hoaxes). Moreover, they note that the burden of proof for extraordinary claims such as alien visitations is very high, and requires rigorous scientific investigation and verification.
Despite the skepticism of the scientific community, UFO sightings continue to occur and attract public attention. The recent release of the Pentagon’s 2022 UFO report, which cataloged hundreds of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) observed by military personnel and surveillance systems, has renewed interest in the subject. The report did not confirm or deny the existence of alien technology behind the UAPs, but called for more research and collaboration among government agencies and scientists. Some experts speculate that the UAPs could be new forms of advanced technology from other countries, or even from non-human sources. Others caution that the UAPs may be misperceived or misinterpreted by human observers or sensors, and that we need more data and analysis to draw any conclusions.

Strange, ‘Triangle Shaped’ Flying Object Spotted in Utah Skies! Youtube video bellow!
One of the most intriguing recent sightings of a UFO is the “semi-transparent black triangle” spotted over Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2022. The witness recorded several videos of the object, which appeared to be a large and motionless triangular shape hovering in the sky at a high altitude. The object did not resemble any known aircraft or natural phenomenon, and remained a mystery to investigators. While some speculated that it could be a secret military craft or a TR3B, a triangular-shaped aircraft rumored to have been developed by the US Air Force, others dismissed such theories as unlikely or unsupported by evidence. The sighting remains a fascinating example of the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

One of Ireland's UFO hotspots has been revealed with a credible source explaining that Kingsland Observatory in Roscommon has confirmed 40 UFO sightings since 2000.
Dr Eamonn Ansbro runs the Kingsland Observatory and revealed to Dermot and Dave on Today FM and he said that he has recorded around 40 UFO sightings over the last 22 years at the observatory.
Dr Ansbro tells Dermot and Dave that his specific area of interest emerge in the 1990s with widespread reports of 'light ball' activity around Lough Key.
The esteemed astronomer says: "One of the things I have been particularly interested in was light ball activity, specifically in the Lough Key area. So we are set up to study that. We have a camera system composed of 11 cameras pointed towards the sky in two tracking platforms.
"And we have been able to observe and study over the course of two decades this round or cylindrical types of light."
Dermot and Dave point out that these are technically UFOs - in that, they are objects that fly and they haven't been identified. To which the good doctor can't argue.
Dr Ansbro outlines: "If you want to use that definition, it's in the context that it isn't aliens. It's something in our atmosphere that we're trying to understand."
Dr Ansbro says that others have been studying the local phenomenon for the last four or five years as research into 'UAP' intensifies around the globe.
The US government has conducted research into 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena', a more neutral term for such objects or aberrations while very sober and very credible studies are made as they arise.
Eamonn Ansbro at his observatory in Boyle
Dr Ansbro explains: "The old term everyone used and is aware of is UFOs, it's been common for the last 70 years."
But he elaborates that the new term is more often used because some of their areas of study don't fly - and bear with it us on this one - they use a different 'space-time' to us.
The astronomer blows the hosts minds as he explains: "People often say, 'Well, why don't they have clear photos of UFOs, how come they are always blurry?'
"That's because we are dealing with a new type of phenomena - it's seems we have discovered a new space-time situation within the objects as they are casting their light.
"The whole time dilation is different, the space its in and so forth, that's why we get the fuzzy images."
When asked how long it would take to get to the bottom of this mystery, Dr Ansbro said that for 70 years, research funding into this area was prioritised.
And some of this attitude was down to the stigma of improbably 'little green men' tainting proper research into the field. Something which has only changed, according to Ansbro, in the last three years or so.
Eamonn Ansbro at his observatory in Boyle
Dr Ansbro say the US government has had a sea-change in their attitude to funding the research after years of objects appearing over their skies.
Kingsland Observatory was specifically located at Kingsland near Lough Key and it's 'Dark Skies' national park for its low light pollution and has probed the skies relentlessly since the observatory opened there in 2000.
The telescope lens of Kingsland dates back from 1974 and found its way to north Dublin when the light pollution reduced its effectiveness.
It then moved to north Co Dublin to be used in the Super Schmidt but again needed a move in the 1990s when it found its way to Kingsland.
The group continues to expand and recently relocated some of their high-tech observation equipment to a mountain top in south-eastern Spain as even Lough Key has seen some light leaking in from settlements in the area.
Chris Rutkowski, with Ufology Research in Winnipeg, has been collecting and analyzing Canadian data on unidentified flying objects, or unidentified aerial phenomena as they are being called more recently, for nearly 35 years.
(John Woods/The Canadian Press )
Canada's preeminent UFO researcher has seen an uptick in reported sightings of unidentified flying objects in recent days suggesting more Canadians are turning their eyes to the sky after U.S. fighter jets shot down three objects over the weekend.
Chris Rutkowski, with Ufology Research in Winnipeg, has been collecting and analyzing Canadian data on unidentified flying objects, or unidentified aerial phenomena as it's more recently been referred to as, for nearly 35 years.
Following the U.S. and Canadian governments "unprecedented" decision to take action against the objects, Rutkowski has received a number of sighting descriptions, including one on an Ontario highway near Cambridge where someone said they saw a "black rectangle" move across the highway.
"People are keeping a closer eye to the skies and, thankfully, are reporting them so that we can get some data on what people are seeing," Rutkowski said.
Reported sightings of UFOs reached an all-time high in Canada in the 2010s but have been on a steady decline since then.
Ufology Research's most recent study, released earlier this month, suggests there were 768 UFO sightings in the country last year — an increase of about six per cent from the previous year.
Rutkowski found one person in Quebec reported nearly 40 separate sightings, which accounted for the higher number. The number of reported sightings in Canada last year was the fourth-lowest over the past 20 years.

(U.S. Department of Defense/The Associated Press)
The study says these numbers likely don't show the full picture as individuals are reluctant to report sightings out of fear of being ridiculed or concern for their reputation.
But Rutkowski stresses times have changed in the field.
While the mere mention of the term UFO used to conjure images of alien invasions, tin hat-wearing conspiracy theorists and pop culture extraterrestrial icons Alf and E.T., research around the phenomenon has evolved in government and academic circles.
Canadians are in "good company" if they believe they've seen a UFO as polls conducted suggest that 10 per cent of people in the country believe they've seen an unidentified object in the sky, Rutkowski says.
"When a person reports seeing a UFO — whether you're a pilot or just an average person on the street — you may be seeing something that is quite significant and potentially of value to researchers," he said.
Chris Styles says it's not uncommon to see an increase in reports when events such as this are in the news, but cautions it doesn't mean there has been an increase in the number of flying objects, only that more people are paying attention.
"Sightings breed sightings," the renowned UFO researcher said from Halifax.
Objects shot down
Recent events might have Canadians changing their tune.
American fighter jets took down an unidentified object over the northern coast of Alaska on Friday, one over central Yukon on Saturday and another over Lake Huron on Sunday.
The flurry of close encounters followed what officials said was a Chinese surveillance balloon that floated across the continent two weeks ago and was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.

While it's not clear where the more recent objects came from or who might have dispatched them, the prevailing theory at the moment is that they were "benign," posing only a threat to passing civilian aircraft, the White House said this week.
Search efforts are underway in a remote stretch of central Yukon to locate the remnants of the object, which Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre said is a "suspected balloon" in a tweet Wednesday.
Government officials on both sides of the border have stated there is no indication the objects were the work of aliens or "extraterrestrial activity."
Recent data from Google Trends points to peoples' innate curiosity about interplanetary visitors and the world beyond Earth.

On Saturday, UFOs were the third most searched topic in Canada with more than 100,000 searches.
The following day it dropped down to 13th place, while the term aliens has been trending steadily in Canada's North since Sunday.
Rutkowski said every year there are well-documented cases from "good observers" that go unexplained, but it would be, "presumptuous to say those are from outer space and extraterrestrials."
"There probably is life out there somewhere, and somewhere out there they might have developed the ability to travel between the stars … we don't have any proof of that, but the probability is never zero."
In academic circles the notion of studying this phenomenon has been taken more seriously after details about the Pentagon's UFO program were discovered in 2017, says Paul Kingsbury, a professor in the department of geography at Simon Fraser University.
While the U.S. has made co-ordinated efforts to document this issue, there is a disconnect on the Canadian side, Kingsbury says.
He says it's important for the Biden administration and Canada to work transparently with the scientific community so that academics can access information and data that will help identify these objects.
"It would allow the public to more fully understand what these objects are, their nature, what is causing them and the consequences of the many reports of these anomalous objects in our skies," he said.
As Canadians continue to navigate global unrest associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, climate disasters and wars overseas, messaging shrouded in "mixed messages and mystery" can leave people feeling anxious.
"Being transparent wherever possible is also important for peoples' peace of mind," Kingsbury said.

“What’s Up With UAPs?” Exploring the Government’s Interest in UFOs with Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson
“What’s Up With UAPs?” Exploring the Government’s Interest in UFOs with Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson
Unidentified aerial phenomena, commonly referred to as UFOs, have captured the imagination of people around the world for decades. These sightings of strange objects in the sky have prompted many to speculate about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, sparking widespread interest and fascination. However, as astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains in a recent Youtube video, the government’s interest in investigating these phenomena is not based solely on their potential connection to alien life.
According to Tyson, the government’s interest in investigating UFOs is largely motivated by concerns over safety and security. If there is something flying in the sky that cannot be identified, it is important to determine whether it poses a threat to individuals, the economy, or national security. As such, it is reasonable to allocate resources towards identifying and investigating these phenomena.
Despite the common association between UFOs and aliens, Tyson cautions against jumping to conclusions about the nature of these phenomena. As a scientist, Tyson encourages a skeptical, evidence-based approach to studying and investigating the unknown. While it may be tempting to attribute unexplained sightings to alien life, it is important to maintain a rational perspective and consider alternative explanations.
Furthermore, Tyson notes that the prevalence of technology such as smartphones means that any potential alien invasion would likely be reported and documented quickly. With millions of people around the world carrying smartphones capable of recording and sharing videos, it is unlikely that any significant event would go unnoticed or unreported.
In summary, while UFOs and their potential connection to alien life continue to capture the public’s imagination, the government’s interest in investigating these phenomena is primarily motivated by concerns over safety and security. Rather than making extraordinary claims without evidence, it is important to approach these sightings with a scientific mindset, embracing the unknown and seeking to understand the phenomena through rational investigation.

Date of sighting: Feb 1, 2023
Location of sighting:Glendale, Arizona, USA
They eyewitness was really on top of it when he caught a fleet of glowing spheres over Luke AFB a few days ago. The UFOs glowed powerfully and each was almost the same size as the one next to it. UFOs are often seen investigating the USAF military bases, even known at to shut down nuclear missiles in silos, forcing the military to remove them entirely since they could never repair them (Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota). Ellsworth was my personal base I worked at in the USAF (Scott Waring) and its also where I had a sighting of a fleet of over 25 spheres the size of 747s back in 1990 abouts, when I worked on B1 Lancer Bombers. There is another aliens interaction with guards at Ellsworth, but this is about Luke AFB, so for a later time. Aliens have a high interest in US military, to both predict, control and warn the Governments of the world of their own alien power being still #1 on Earth.

Unexplained UFO Sighting in Glendale, Arizona – Witness Reports Mysterious Appearance and Disappearance of Lights on February 1, 2023
UFO sighting over Glendale, AZ
On February 1, 2023, a mysterious sighting of unidentified flying objects occurred in Glendale, Arizona. According to a witness report, the sighting started with three lights that slowly faded into view. Then, five additional lights appeared and also slowly faded out of sight, leaving observers puzzled and intrigued.
The witness report describes the UFO sighting as a slow and deliberate appearance and disappearance of the lights. This raises questions about what type of technology was used to create such an effect. Were the lights under the control of a human operator, or was this something beyond our current understanding of technology?
Glendale, Arizona is not a stranger to UFO sightings, as there have been numerous reports of similar events in the past. In fact, Arizona is considered to be one of the top places in the United States for UFO sightings, with some of the most famous sightings taking place in Phoenix in 1997.

Wow, this one was recorded over Texas a few days ago. The eyewitness saw it coming from over the mountains and then all about for 15+ minutes. From the colors, I would say this one has a real friendly and happy glow about it. The orb knew it was being watched and didn't want to cause any fear. Oh, and yes, orbs can change colors, saw a softball size UFO up close 2 meters from me here in Taiwan and it was like cloudy liquid silver, colors moving slowly within it, but 50 meters away it was white as a star. Orbs change colors at will, they can also read your mind, your thoughts and if you call them to you with a kind and open heart, I promise, you will see one. But they are sneaky, the one I saw so close, it came behind my camera. As I said, it could read my thoughts and knew where to come safely.

Have Aliens Found Us? More Oumuamua Like Technology Interstellar Spacecrafts Now in Our Solar System
Have Aliens Found Us? More Oumuamua Like Technology Interstellar Spacecrafts Now in Our Solar System. A strange Cosmic object was flying past our planet and no one had the slightest clue 5 days later the interstellar object was on its way out of the solar system when Robert Warwick an astronomer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa spotted it. It was from the moment of its discovery a weird object, weird orbit, weird speed, and weird properties, the strange object was called Oumuamua, the first known Interstellar object to visit the solar system but here is the thing astronomers had only 11 days to observe the odd visitor.
China’s New H-20 Stealth Bomber is Worse Than You Think
This new aircraft could change the balance of power in the world. Currently the United States is the only nation to operate a strategic stealth bomber fleet like the B-2. This new Chinese stealth bomber is the type of aircraft that is sent to destroy an entire enemy airfield or soften up defenses for an invasion. The H-20 would have major ramifications for a possible invasion of Taiwan if it is able to evade their air defense systems.
19 Events That Will Happen Before 2050 Compilation
19) Colonization of Mars No, we’re not talking about an upcoming sci-fi blockbuster – the colonization of Mars is a real possibility in the foreseeable future.
18) Technological singularity The technological singularity is the hypothesis that the invention of artificial super-intelligence will trigger rampant technological growth, resulting in unimaginable changes to human civilization.
17) Nuclear fusion In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles - neutrons or protons. Fusion was accomplished in 1951 with the Greenhouse Item nuclear test, while nuclear fusion on a large scale in an explosion was first carried out on November 1, 1952, in the Ivy Mike hydrogen bomb test.
16) Interstellar exploration Until recently, interstellar travel was nothing more than a theoretical possibility. However, the exploration of other star systems may become reality sooner than you think
15) Ice-free Arctic The loss of Arctic sea ice is one of the clearest signs of human-caused climate change and so far the Arctic Ocean has melted to its lowest extent ever recorded since satellites began measuring it in 1979
14) 99942 Apophis asteroid threat Before global warming brings humanity on the verge of extinction, a giant rock from outer space might wipe us all out
13) Chocolate extinction Bad news for all of you chocolate lovers out there: your favorite food may actually become extinct in a few decades
12) Antibiotics stop working According to a major 2016 UK study, urgent action is needed to control the use of antibiotics before they stop working and leave a number of major conditions untreatable
11) Technological singularity The technological singularity is the hypothesis that the invention of artificial super-intelligence will trigger rampant technological growth, resulting in unimaginable changes to human civilization
10) New countries Situations and circumstances keep changing, but conflicts rarely end. Unfortunately, in most cases, it is war that ultimately leads to the division of borders and fights for independence have been ongoing for a long time in many parts of the world. Countries and Land Masses At first, this one may sound a bit...abstract. After all, don't we already have a LOT of countries on this Earth of ours?
9) A New Pandemic? We're sure that this one terrifies you to a certain level, but if 2020 proved anything to us, it's that you don't know what to expect until it happens
8) Brand New Medicines If you were to look at medicine as it was in the 1920s and see where they are in the year 2020, you'll see such a rapid scale improvement it would see ludicrous that people survived during the times without this medicine.
7) Sci-Fi Tech Don't go overboard on this one, we're not saying that hovercars and jetpacks are going to be commonplace in our world in the year 2050, however, certain pieces of sci-fi tech are likely to come around by 2050.
6) Green Planet? This one is honestly a bit more wishful thinking than anything else but it could happen should the right forces come into play.
5) Y2K Part 2? If you recall the year 1999, you might remember a gigantic fear that was going on called the Y2K Bug.
4) True Virtual Reality Heading back to sci-fi tech, let's single out another desired object that might just happen by 2050: true virtual reality.
3) A.I. Everywhere Judgment Day is inevitable, and yes, we're quoting Terminator.
2) Super-Automation Here's a darker element of growing technology that we're already facing right now. The more that technology grows, the more that humans can be replaced by automated machines.
1) The Unthinkable When it comes to predicting the future...there's always a risk. Because in truth, you have NO idea what's going to happen in the next however many days or months or years or decades
The hidden agenda: Metallic UFO and its companion spotted over the Arizona desert
The hidden agenda: Metallic UFO and its companion spotted over the Arizona desert
On January 24, 2023 what seems to be a metallic UFO has been spotted while hovering above the Arizona desert. the UFO is accompanied by another object visible in the distance.
Isn't it strange that these kinds of unknown objects can fly through US airspace at low altitudes seemingly undisturbed and are not intercepted and brought down like the Chinese hot air balloon and the other three unknown objects?
Wouldn't it make sense that these types of objects would also be intercepted and shot down by the US Airforce as happened with the Chinese balloon and the other three unknown objects?
Since the many UFOs and UAPs are left alone, not only does it say a lot about the knowledge the Pentagon and the US government have about these UFOs and UAPs to make the decision not to shoot down these objects, but it also says a lot about the shooting down of the other objects, likely indicating that these actions were carried out as part of a secret agenda behind the scenes, that may not be known to the US government, to archive a particular target in the near future.
Passenger on Allegiant Flight 1127 Captures Video of Pulsating UFO Lights – over West Virginia/Pennsylvania Border
Passenger on Allegiant Flight 1127 Captures Video of Pulsating UFO Lights – over West Virginia/Pennsylvania Border
Flashing UFOs filmed from a plane over West Virginia – Pennsylvania border
On February 20, 2023, a peculiar incident occurred in the skies over the West Virginia/Pennsylvania border. A passenger aboard Allegiant Flight 1127, captured footage of a flashing unidentified flying objects while the plane was descending into Pittsburgh. The witness took a picture of the sunset and later noticed an unusual object in the frame. Curiosity led the individual to switch to video mode and capture footage of the lights emanating from the unidentified object.
The footage captured by the witness shows a small, circular object with a glowing aura, slowly moving across the sky. The lights emanating from the object are bright and pulsating, with different colors appearing at different times. The video lasts for approximately 2 minutes and provides a clear view of the object from different angles.
Upon closer inspection of the footage, it appears that the object is following the same flight path as the commercial airplane. The witness reported that the object was visible for a significant amount of time and that other passengers on the flight were also able to witness the strange phenomenon.
The witness has not provided any further information about the incident, and there has been no official statement from Allegiant Air or any relevant authorities. The incident has garnered attention from UFO enthusiasts and researchers, with many speculating about the nature of the object and its purpose.
The West Virginia/Pennsylvania region has been a hotspot for UFO sightings in the past, with numerous reports of strange objects and lights in the sky. While many sightings can be easily explained as natural phenomena or man-made objects, some incidents remain unexplained and shrouded in mystery.
The sighting on February 20, 2023, adds to the list of unexplained phenomena in the region, and the footage captured by the witness has sparked interest and curiosity among those interested in the UFO phenomenon. While the incident remains a mystery, it is a reminder that there is still much to be explored and discovered about the world around us.
Pentagon Withholds Images of Unidentified Objects from Recent Shootdowns
Pentagon Withholds Images of Unidentified Objects from Recent Shootdowns
U-2 Spy Plane Pilot’s Selfie Goes Viral After Being Released by U.S. Department of Defense
The U.S. Department of Defense recently released a photograph taken by a pilot of a U-2 spy plane showing a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon flying over the continental U.S. While the image provided unprecedented details of the balloon, the release of the photo has left many wondering about the images showing the three unidentified objects shot down over Alaska, northern Canada, and Lake Huron over the weekend of February 10.
Although the Pentagon has not officially confirmed the presence of images of the incidents, it is not planning on releasing them to the public. A spokesperson for the office of the secretary of defense stated that there are currently no other aerial images available.
The three objects shot down are suspected to have been benign amateur hobbyist or research balloons rather than state-sponsored espionage. However, the “unidentified” status of the objects has fueled public speculation that these could be something more than just wayward hobby balloons.
Social media users have speculated that the shoot downs were part of a cover-up operation to conceal the truth about the US’ involvement in the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage. Others have claimed that the objects were alien spacecraft. The lack of debris recovery and images has also been interpreted as part of an attempt by the government to conceal its UFO activities.
It’s believed that the Pentagon obtained some of the captured images and video of the objects before they were shot down. However, it’s not clear if they were able to identify the objects using the jet’s targeting pods.
To investigate the object spotted near Alaska, a couple of F-35 aircraft were launched. These aircraft were equipped with the EOTS, which was designed to provide high-definition and electro-optical images. Unfortunately, the system was not able to capture images of the object. Two F-16C airplanes from Wisconsin’s 148th Fighter Wing were able to shoot down the object. They were equipped with the Sniper ATP, which is a sophisticated targeting pod.
According to the audio recordings of the cockpit conversations of the fighter planes, which were captured by amateur radio users, it’s almost certain that video of the object was taken during the shoot down. However, these descriptions do not provide enough evidence to identify the object.
An aura of mystery will remain over the incident until the Pentagon decides to release the captured images. Although the objects were likely benign, the lack of transparency by the Pentagon has led to various conspiracy theories and speculation.
The Soviet X-Files: Decoding the Enigma of the Petrozavodsk UFOs
The Soviet X-Files: Decoding the Enigma of the Petrozavodsk UFOs
If you are fascinated by the unknown and the unexplained, you might have heard of the UFO sightings over Petrozavodsk, a city in the northwestern part of the Soviet Union (now Russia), in the fall of 1977. The sightings involved multiple witnesses, including military personnel and civilians, who reported seeing strange, glowing, and sometimes pulsating objects in the sky. The objects appeared to move in a controlled manner, sometimes hovering or changing direction abruptly, and emitting bright beams of light. The sightings attracted the attention of both Soviet and international media, as well as ufologists and skeptics, who offered various explanations, ranging from natural phenomena to extraterrestrial visitations.
However, the true nature of the Petrozavodsk phenomenon remains elusive and controversial to this day. While some experts have dismissed the sightings as a result of misperception, hoaxes, or propaganda, others have suggested that they might be related to top-secret experiments by the Soviet military or intelligence agencies. In this article, we will explore two different angles of the UFO sightings over Petrozavodsk and the wider Soviet Union, based on two primary sources: the eyewitness testimonies and the official investigations by the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
Eyewitness testimonies:
Unearthed: The Long-Lost Photograph of the Mysterious Petrozavodsk Object
According to the accounts of the witnesses, the UFO sightings over Petrozavodsk and other parts of the Soviet Union were not isolated incidents, but rather part of a pattern of unexplained aerial phenomena that had been occurring since at least the early 1970s. The witnesses described the objects as large, bright, and silent, often shaped like spheres or ellipsoids, and emitting intense and colorful light. Some witnesses reported feeling a sense of awe or fear, while others tried to approach the objects or even shoot at them. However, none of the witnesses could identify the origin or purpose of the objects, and some reported being harassed or intimidated by the authorities for their testimonies.
The Soviet Academy of Sciences launched several investigations into the UFO sightings over Petrozavodsk and other areas, involving scientists, engineers, and military experts. However, the official reports were inconclusive and sometimes contradictory. Some investigators suggested that the sightings might be related to natural phenomena, such as auroras, meteorites, or chemiluminescence, while others proposed that they might be linked to Soviet space missions, rocket tests, or ionospheric experiments. However, none of the hypotheses could fully explain the observed characteristics of the objects, such as their high altitude, speed, maneuverability, and radiation.

Conspiracy theories
Given the lack of consensus among experts and the secrecy of the Soviet regime, the UFO sightings over Petrozavodsk have spawned various conspiracy theories, ranging from the benign to the bizarre. Some theorists have claimed that the objects were extraterrestrial spacecraft, sent by aliens to study or communicate with humanity. Others have suggested that the objects were secret weapons or surveillance devices, developed by the Soviet military or intelligence agencies to spy on the West or intimidate their own citizens. Still, others have speculated that the objects were part of a wider cover-up or disinformation campaign, aimed at confusing or distracting the public from other sensitive issues, such as nuclear tests or political dissent.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the UFO sightings over Petrozavodsk and other parts of the Soviet Union remain a mystery, shrouded in secrecy, controversy, and speculation. While some experts have offered natural or human-made explanations, the eyewitness testimonies and the official investigations suggest that the objects were highly unusual and unexplained by conventional means. Whether the sightings were a result of a technological breakthrough, a psychological projection, or an extraterrestrial visit remains a matter of debate and conjecture. The lack of reliable and verifiable data, coupled with the political and ideological context of the Soviet Union, makes it difficult to separate fact from fiction and truth from propaganda. Nevertheless, the UFO sightings over Petrozavodsk continue to fascinate and intrigue people around the world, serving as a reminder of the enduring mystery and wonder of the universe. Whether you are a believer, a skeptic, or something in between, the Petrozavodsk phenomenon invites us to keep an open mind and a curious spirit, and to explore the boundaries of our knowledge and imagination. Who knows what other mysteries and surprises await us in the vastness of the cosmos?

China and Russia to build a Moon base, laughing at SpaceX&NASA...
It happened! China and Russia to build a Moon base (No SpaceX) ….
In the next decade, an International coalition plans to build a lunar research station to transform humanity's exploration and observation of the moon. The planning phase is already underway, and it is going well. Construction is slated for 2026 through 2035, and crews could start operating from the base by 2036. The station will feature a lunar orbiter, a large, multi-level, habitat to enable surface-based activities, and play host to several lunar rovers. If this sounds a lot like the NASA and SpaceX Lunar Gateway program, think again. The station, called the International Lunar Research Station, is a rival to the U.S. space agency’s plans to put humans permanently on the surface of the Moon within a similar time frame. Instead, the ILRS is the brainchild of China and Russia — two of the U.S.’ greatest rivals on Earth. " We're in a space race today just as we were in the 1960s. And the stakes are even higher." Let’s dive into China's Secret Plans to Build A Moon Base and More in today’s episode of Alpha Tech!
On March 9, 2021, Zhang Kejian, the administrator of China National Space Administration (CNSA), and Rogozin, the General Manager of State Space Corporation “Roscosmos” (ROSCOSMOS), signed the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the Russian Federation Regarding Cooperation for the Construction of the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS).
Presently, China’s lunar presence includes the Chang’e 4 lander and the Yutu 2 rover, whose arrival in 2019 marked humanity’s first landings on the dark side of the moon. Both lunar crafts is performing scientific experiments, with Chang’e 4 conducting a lunar biosphere experiment to see how silkworms, potatoes, and Arabidopsis (a small flowering plant) seeds grow in lunar gravity, while the Yutu 2 rover is exploring the Von Kármán crater.

Is The Earth In The Wrong Place In The Galaxy?
By now we have no doubt. We are not at the center of the solar system, nor are we at the center of our galaxy... Much less are we at the center of the universe... One step back at a time, we have finally realized that our planet is just one of many, among billions of billions of others. Sure, a lucky planet, it seems... favored by exceptional cosmic coincidences... But are we really sure? For example, are we really sure that the position where the Solar System was formed in the Milky Way is just the absolute best? Could we have found better? Could we have found worse?
Agreed, we are not in a "privileged" position in the universe. But perhaps the fact that we are not is in itself a special thing. Who knows? But we are not here to philosophize... Our purpose is to try to understand whether Earth's position in the Milky Way may have positively or negatively affected its own development. We all know that what we call the Milky Way is nothing more than the galaxy that houses our planetary system. In this case, it is a spiral galaxy about 120,000 light-years in diameter (just to understand what a boundless size we are talking about, one light-year is equivalent to about 63,000 times the distance between Earth and the Sun). Its basic structure consists of a stellar component compressed into a disk about 1,500 light-years thick--a disk filled with hundreds of billions of stars, dust, and gas, mostly arranged in irregular spiral arms. Globular clusters surround the disk in a spherical swarm concentrated toward the center of the disk

Pentagon has received 'several hundreds' of new UFO reports

All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office was set up to track unidentified objects in the sky, underwater or in space

TARA COPP
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Pentagon office set up to track reports of unidentified flying objects has received “several hundreds” of new reports, but no evidence so far of alien life, the agency's leadership told reporters Friday.
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) was set up in July and is responsible for not only tracking unidentified objects in the sky, but also underwater or in space — or potentially an object that has the ability to move from one domain to the next.
The office was established following more than a year of attention on unidentified flying objects that military pilots have observed but have sometimes been reluctant to report due to fear of stigma.
In June 2021 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence reported that between 2004 and 2021, there were 144 such encounters, 80 of which were captured on multiple sensors.
Since then, “we've had lots more reporting,” said anomaly office director Sean Kirkpatrick. When asked to quantify the amount, Kirkpatrick said “several hundreds.”
An updated report from the Director of National Intelligence that will provide specific figures on new reports received since 2021 is expected by the end of the year, the officials said.
The office was set up not only to examine the question of whether there’s extraterrestrial life, but also because of the security risk posed by so many encounters with unknown flying objects by military installations or military aircraft.
This May, Congress held its first hearing in more than half a century on the topic, with multiple members expressing concern that whether or not the objects are alien or potentially new, unknown technology being flown by China, Russia or another potential adversary, the unknown creates a security risk.
So far, “we have not seen anything, and we're still very early on, that would lead us to believe that any of the objects that we have seen are of alien origin,” said Ronald Moultrie, under secretary of defense for intelligence and security. “Any unauthorized system in our airspace we deem as a threat to safety.”
The office is also working on ways to improve its ability to identify unknown objects, such as by recalibrating sensors that may be focused just on known adversary aircraft or drone signatures, Moultrie said.
One reason for the hundreds of additional reports coming in may be the outreach the department has done to destigmatize reporting potential encounters. Each service has also established its own reporting processes, Kirkpatrick said.
Beyond unidentifiable objects, there’s a lot of new technology — such as future stealth bombers and stealth fighters, drones and hypersonic missiles being fielded by both the U.S. and China — that could be mistaken for a UFO. Kirkpatrick said the new office has been coordinating with the Pentagon and the U.S. intelligence community to get the signatures of U.S. technology in order to rule out those aircraft or drones.
“We are setting up very clear mechanisms with our blue programs, both our DOD and IC programs, to deconflict any observations that come in with blue activities, and ensure that we weed those out and identify those fairly early on,” Kirkpatrick said, referring to the “blue” U.S. aircraft programs in operation by the Pentagon or intelligence agencies.
