Watch this newly released video of a UFO flying over Iraq and was caught by a US military helicopter and followed for at least 1.5 minutes or more...some footage may have been held back from being released. Also the US military blacked out all location data, fly speed, size, and other data that might give away the US military base positions. I used Chatgpt to look at a 10 second clip and tell me the speed...and it said the UFO was traveling at 144.4km per hour or 89.8 mph. That means this is no balloon! This is 100% alien technology watching over the most dangerous area on Earth and recording data of human reactions, interactions, and even thoughts as well as other things like food, water, contamination to the soil, animals, people, and so on.

UFO often are attracted to storms, the power from the lightning is enough to power a small city for weeks and yet these little UFOs seem to be attracted to it too. Clearly they are syphoning the energy from the lightning to use for themselves...to recharge. I have seen so many videos of similar UFO activity during thunderstorms, that I can 100% confirm these things get a high from the energy output of the storms and they love to boost so much so they will shoot around in excitement after charging. Usually small orbs, but this UFO seems to be much bigger, mini van size or more.

1.5 Mile UFO Caught On Telescope On Moon Recorded by Me! 60 Min of video doesn't lie! June 29, 2025, UFO UAP Sighting News.

 

Date of sighting: June 29, 2025 11:06 pm

Location of sighting: Earths moon

Guys I recorded this last week and finally got the time to make a video and share it. I caught a white reflective craft on the moons surface and it looks to be almost a triangle in shape. I believe it to be between 1.5-3.5 miles across. I have a whole hour of video of this but only took 4 photos, two caught the craft, the other two did not. I believe the flashing is caused by the spacecraft being loaded or unloaded of heavy materials, the moon still has gravity and it would tilt the spacecraft. This is 100% proof of alien activity on Earths moon. This flashing is coming from the Mara Crisium region.

Video coming...it's 4k and 20 with 15 min or so of raw footage. Youtube says 90 minutes to process video....OMG!

Op een warme zomerdag, op 21 juli 1955, zag de toen 18-jarige paracommando Marin Vandercruyssen, 5 grote zilveren schijven geruisloos boven de toenmalige E5 (nu E40) zweven, in de buurt van Lotenhulle. De schijven vormden een formatie van 3 vooraan en 2 achteraan, vergelijkbaar met het Olympische logo. Een 20-tal autobestuurders stopten in het midden van de weg en stapten uit om toe te kijken.

Volgens Vandercruyssen hadden de schijven elk een diameter van ongeveer 100 meter. Ze zweefden 10 minuten lang in stilte over het veld, waarna ze plotseling verdwenen. Vandercruyssen, die als sterrenkundige en militair goed bekend was met vliegtuigen, was er zeker van dat het geen conventionele toestellen waren. 

Van scepticisme tot officiële erkenning: het ontstaan van het monument

Toen Marin pas in 2004 het verhaal aan het gemeentebestuur van Aalter voorlegde, werd dit in eerste instantie niet serieus genomen. Maar toch gaf het bestuur de toenmalige eerste schepen Dirk De Smul (CD&V), zelf een geboren Lotenhullenaar, de opdracht om de zaak te onderzoeken. 

De Smul vond al snel een andere betrouwbare getuige, "Meester Pol", een oud-onderwijzer die het verhaal bevestigde. Op 10 mei 2004 werd door het college van burgemeester en schepenen officieel erkend dat er iets van waarheid in het verhaal moest zitten. "Wij geloven Vandercruyssen. Wij bestaan toch ook. Waarom zou er in de gigantische kosmos dan geen ander ontwikkeld leven kunnen zijn?", zei De Smul toen aan de pers.

Op 2 juli, Wereld UFO-dag, werd het monument uiteindelijk plechtig onthuld op de hoek van de Steenweg op Deinze en de Eikenlaan. De tekst op de gedenksteen vermeldt de datum, het aantal getuigen en de naam van Marin Vandercruyssen, met 5 ovale symbolen, en een foto van de jonge paracommando. 

Meer dan een gedenksteen

Sommige inwoners vroegen zich af of ze daarvoor belastingen moesten betalen, maar het kostte Aalter niets. De gemeentearbeiders zorgden enkel voor het gieten van het betonnen blok waarin de plaquette is verwerkt. De plaquette zelf werd geschonken door Vandercruyssen, de oorspronkelijke UFO-spotter.

Het UFO-monument van Lotenhulle is meer dan een eenvoudige gedenksteen, stelt de gemeente: "Het is een zeldzaam voorbeeld van lokale erkenning van iets wat wereldwijd speelt. Werp zeker eens een blik op Lotenhulle de volgende keer dat u over de E40 richting kust rijdt. Misschien herinnert het u eraan dat we nog lang niet alles begrijpen van wat er zich in de lucht afspeelt."

An Alberta couple captured something extraordinary on camera during the evening of July 2, 2025.  Just after a powerful lightning strike near their home in Rich Valley, Alberta, they saw what they described as a ball of fire hovering roughly 20 feet above the ground. 

“It just appeared out of nowhere,” one of them recalled. “A big, glowing sphere hanging in the air — and then, just like that, it vanished.” 

The main stream media are trying to blame this on the weather speculating the glowing orb could be ball lightning, an elusive and still-unexplained weather phenomenon reported for centuries. Often described as floating spheres of light, ball lightning has defied scientific consensus. 

But could it be more than just an atmospheric anomaly? 

A similar sighting occurred in 2016 in Russia’s Novosibirsk Region, where a massive, luminous sphere was seen drifting silently across a field before vanishing into nearby woods. That object, see image below, too, appeared after intense lightning activity and left experts just as baffled. 

Is this truly a rare natural phenomenon? Or are we witnessing something beyond the scope of conventional science, a window into technology or intelligence we don’t yet understand?

A mysterious streak appeared on weather radar over Washington DC on Thursday, sparking theories of weather modification or visitors from another planet.

The anomaly, visible on radar loops, was shared online by Kari Lake, a special advisor to the US Agency for Global Media, who asked: 'Anyone know what is shooting across the radar over Washington DC around 3:30pm?'

That was around the time a severe thunderstorm rolled into the area, unleashing heavy rains, damaging wind gusts and lightning, which lasted for about one hour.

The radar tracked the weather system affecting the region, and a distinct, linear streak moved across the screen. It was not a typical weather pattern, like rain, snow, or hail, which would have appeared more scattered.

While baffling, a meteorologist who works for a weather radar agency chimed in to ease the confusion that was spreading online.

Matthew Cappucci, senior meteorologist at the app Lake used, explained that the strange line or streak on the radar was not caused by weather or anything unusual. 

Instead, it was likely caused by something physical, like a water tower or a cell tower, located east of the radar station near Dulles Airport. 

These structures can block or reflect the radar's signals, creating a false image on the radar screen. This is a common problem with radar systems. 

A mysterious streak appeared on weather radar over Washington DC on Thursday, sparking theories of weather modification or visitors from another planet.

'That can cause a bit of the emitted radar beam to bounce back to radar/cause a spurious signal,' Cappucci said.

He added that these types of artifacts are quite common on weather radar. You might also notice things like ground clutter or super refraction. 

'Occasionally, we can even detect birds, butterflies, planes, and meteors!' the meteorologist shared.

But not everyone is convinced, as one X user commented: 'Sounds like something a meteorologist would say….if they were CIA!!!'

However, Lake appeared satisfied with the explanation and thanked Cappucci.   

The destructive storm toppled trees that crushed cars and houses while cutting power to numerous neighborhoods.

More than 15,000 Dominion Energy customers, mostly in Fairfax County, were without power as of noon Friday. Arlington County and Alexandria were also hit hard.

More than 3,000 Pepco customers in Montgomery County were without power, along with 455 in Prince George's County and over 870 in Washington DC.

Crews are working around the clock to restore service, according to Pepco. 

The anomaly, visible on radar loops, was shared online by Kari Lake, a special advisor to the US Agency for Global Media

Why It Caused Alarm

1. Rogue Brightness – High-altitude rocket engines glowing brightly in pre-dawn darkness are uncommon in urban skies.

2. Inner-City Focus – Navigation controllers and pilots in DC’s active airspace initially interpreted it as unknown, feeding tension.

3. Historical Echoes – The 1952 “Washington UFO flap” still lingers, including radar sweeps over the Capitol, fueling today’s unease.

Implications

1. Heightened Public Sensitivity to Aerial Events

In a city shaped by politics, intelligence, and security, even a routine sky phenomenon can spark widespread alarm—highlighting how jittery the public is about national airspace anomalies.

2. National Security Awareness Gaps

The fact that multiple civilians mistook a rocket launch for a potential threat or UFO reveals potential communication gaps between space agencies, air traffic control, and the general public.

3. Renewed Demand for UFO Transparency

Events like this stoke continued public interest in government disclosure on aerial phenomena, especially in a post–UAP hearing era where the line between legitimate sightings and confusion remains blurred.

4. Misinformation Risks During High-Alert Times

Social media panic over the incident shows how quickly false narratives can spread, especially when tied to sensitive airspace like Washington, D.C.

5. Civil-Military Space Coordination Needs

Incidents like this may increase calls for better coordination between private space launches (like SpaceX) and civil/military aviation authorities, especially in sensitive corridors near the capital.

Wind gusts reached 61 mph at Washington Reagan National Airport and 66 mph at Dulles International Airport as severe storms swept through the region. Multiple thunderstorm warnings were issued during the evening commute.

Despite the intense weather, no serious injuries were reported.

That was not the case in New York City, which was also hit by the massive storm. 

Matthew Cappucci, senior meteorologist at MyRadar Weather, who controls the radar that Lake used, offered a clear explanation of the situation. Unfortunately, it's nothing to do with aliens, weather-altering tech, or an early Christmas visit.

"This is the result of an obstruction from a structure east of @NWS_BaltWash's Dulles-based radar. (This is common with water towers/cell towers blocking the radar beam)," Cappucci explains.

"That can cause a bit of the emitted radar beam to bounce back to radar/cause spurious signal. These type of artefacts are common. You will also see things like ground clutter, superrefraction, etc.; sometimes we can even spot birds, butterflies, planes and meteors on weather radar!"

Cappucci also shared a video where he went through the process of discovering this radar anomaly, pointing out the exact tower that caused the radar to show the bizarre line, and how, in a thunderstorm, this can cause readings to bounce towards the tower and back again.

.@KariLake actually asked a really good question about the radar around Washington D.C. — so I dug for answers. The anomaly stems from a partial beam blockage of @NWS_BaltWash’s radar by the antenna at @Dulles_Airport’s Fire Station 304. Mystery solved! @MyRadarWX

👀What is this zooming across the radar over Washington DC? 👀 I just pulled up radar to check on the massive storm overhead and noticed an anomaly on the radar loop. Anyone know what is shooting across the radar over Washington DC around 3:30pm?

Yassin Khalifa, 15, was struck by lightning in Central Park while enjoying a picnic with his friends.

'I leaned up against a tree, and I told them, `Oh, guys, let´s ride out the storm,´ which in hindsight might not have been the best idea,' Khalifa said.

Khalifa said he was knocked unconscious for several minutes. 

Crystal Mateo, 17, told the New York Times she witnessed the scene and saw Khalifa's friends frantically calling for help and trying to revive him.

'It was scary,' she said. 'I was crying.'

Khalifa told WABC he was conscious when he was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he was treated for burns on his neck and leg. Khalifa said he's expected to make a full recovery.

'Apparently, I´m pretty lucky, because my spine was directly against the tree and no nerve damage happened. So I´m like, not losing any sort of motor function,' Khalifa said. 'So I´m pretty happy about that.'

Lightning kills around 30 people a year in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Strikes, though, are usually not fatal. About 90 percent of people injured by a lightning bolt survive.

Story by Emily Standley Allard

ABSTRACT

With all the talk of drones and unexplained theatrics in the skies as of late you have to wonder. Have aliens walked among us since the dawn of time? As a fan of the shows Ancient Aliens, Skinwalker Ranch and of course E.T., like many I've always been fascinated with the idea of extra-terrestrials. The history of UFO sightings spans centuries, encompassing a wide range of phenomena that have intrigued, puzzled, and sometimes alarmed people across the globe. This article will take you through the evolution of UFO sightings, from ancient accounts to modern-day encounters, highlighting significant incidents that have contributed to the ongoing debate and fascination with unidentified flying objects.

Ancient Beginnings

The story of UFO sightings begins in ancient times. Texts, artworks, and even cave paintings from different cultures hint at encounters with celestial phenomena or beings that could not be explained by the knowledge at the time.

For instance, ancient Indian texts such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana mention vimanas, flying machines that were used by the gods.

Similarly, descriptions of "flying shields" were reported by the Romans.

The Middle Ages to the Renaissance

During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, there were numero accounts of mysterious objects seen in the sky.

Chronicles from this period describe sightings of strange stars, fiery globes, and cross-shaped objects traversing the heavens, often interpreted through a religious lens as signs from God or omens.

One of the most famous sightings occurred in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1561.

Residents observed what they described as an aerial battle, followed by the appearance of a large black triangular object and a crash-landing outside the city.

This event was documented in the local newspaper, the Nuremberg Gazette.

The 19th Century: Airship Sightings

The 19th century saw a series of "airship" sightings across the United States, particularly during the 1896-1897 period.

Witnesses reported seeing powered, dirigible-like vehicles equipped with searchlights and sometimes occupants piloting them.

These sightings occurred before human flight was a reality, making them particularly puzzling and sensational at the time.

The Modern Era of UFOs

The modern era of UFO sightings began in earnest in the 20th century, with two pivotal events that shaped public and governmental interest in the phenomenon. 

• 1947, Kenneth Arnold Incident: The term "flying saucer" was coined after private pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine crescent-shaped objects flying at high speeds near Mount Rainier, Washington.

This incident garnered national media attention and is often considered the start of the modern UFO era.

• 1947, Roswell Incident: Perhaps the most famous UFO incident in history occurred near Roswell, New Mexico.

A rancher discovered mysterious wreckage on his land, leading to claims of a recovered alien spacecraft.

The U.S. military stated it was a crashed weather balloon, but the incident has remained at the heart of UFO conspiracy theories.

Government Involvement

The increasing number of 'UFO' sightings over the years led to governmental investigations.

In the United States, projects such as Project Blue Book (1952-1969) were initiated by the U.S. Air Force to study UFO sightings.

Although officially it concluded that most sightings were misidentifications of natural phenomena or conventional aircraft, the closure of such projects only fueled more speculation and conspiracy theories about government cover-ups.

Global Sightings

UFO sightings are not limited to the United States; they are a global phenomenon.

From the mass sighting over the Nuremberg skies in the 16th century to the Westall UFO encounter in Australia in 1966, where over 200 students and teachers witnessed an unexplained object land and then take off at incredible speed, to the recent 2004 Nimitz encounter recorded by U.S. Navy pilots, UFO sightings continue to captivate the public's imagination worldwide.

Conclusion

As we can see, the history of UFO sightings is rich and varied, spanning several different eras and cultures. While many sightings can be explained through scientific analysis as natural phenomena or human-made objects, a small percentage remain unexplained, continuing to intrigue both the public and researchers. With the U.S. government's recent acknowledgment of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and the release of declassified videos, interest in UFOs has surged, suggesting that the fascination with what might be flying in our skies is far from over.

Orange disk over Antelope Park, Utah July 3, 2025 UFO UAP sighting news. Over the Salt Lake. 👽👀😱

Date of sighting: July 3, 2025

Location of sighting: Over Antelope Park, Utah, USA

Source: Filmed by me.

 

Guys, you know me...I got to scan the sky every moment I get outside. Why? Because the more you search, the more your chance to see an actual UFO...like yesterday. I recorded this UFO that I noticed was glowing orange behind some darker clouds. It really popped! I used my iPhone 14 so the quality is soso but I got it! And thats what counts. I added contrast to the screenshots and I quickly noticed that there is a tornado like spiral cloud coming down from the UFO. It was probably getting ready to send some people or supplies down to an underground base about 4-5 miles below the Salt Lake. It's a dead zone where most people don't venture out there. Also the land behind that area is all top secret military practices areas for the helicopters and fighter jets from Hill AFB. Recorded some F35s today...see the next post. This is 100% a real alien disk and it's over 100 meters across! They didn't fool me...I nailed their alien butts to the wall on this day.

Triangle UFO Disguised As Iceberg In Canada, similar to UFOs in clouds, UAP sighting news OMG!

Date of discovery: June 2025

Location of discovery: Canada

Source: Found by me using google earth

 

Check this out. I taught the world about UFOs hiding within a cloud and how UFOs can actually make clouds, which I have shown in US gov videos from last year. But...you have never heard of a UFO disguised as an iceberg. This is something even I have never seen until now. This is a 50x70 meter UFO floating on the surface of the ocean and its cloak on top has us almost fooled into looking like an iceberg. Aliens pride themselves on being more intelligent than humans, so much so that they laugh at us as they hide right under our noses. Well, they don't get away with that when I'm in the area.

Declassified CIA document reveals Area 51's TRUE purpose

• READ MORE:  Incredible tale of the only man to sneak into Area 51

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Area 51 has long been the stuff of alien lore, with whispers of crashed UFOs and extraterrestrial autopsies behind its barbed-wire-laced fence.

The base, established in 1955, remained largely unknown until 1989 when Robert Lazar claimed on TV that he worked at a secret site near Groom Lake, 'S-4,' studying alien technology and spacecraft.

While the remote US Air Force base in Nevada has kept a tight lid on its activities, the CIA finally lifted the lid in 2013, officially admitting Area 51's existence.

The agency declassified a more than 400-page report that detailed how testing its secret spy planes 'accounted for more than one-half of all UFO reports during the late 1950s and most of the 1960s.'

The U-2 spy and A-12 reconnaissance planes were being flown in the shadows of the desert amid the Cold War, but the extreme altitudes sparked fears of an alien invasion.

'High-altitude testing of the U-2 soon led to an unexpected side effect—a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs),' the report states.

'Once U-2s started flying at altitudes above 60,000 feet, air-traffic controllers began receiving increasing numbers of UFO reports.' 

However, the CIA report does not mention Area 51's purpose after 1974.

Area 51 remained largely unknown until 1989 when Robert Lazar claimed on TV that he worked at a secret site near Groom Lake, 'S-4,' studying alien technology and spacecraft

While the document was declassified in 2013, it has resurfaced on X where the public appears to be seeing it for the first time.

'The mystery has been solved,' one user shared.

The CIA documents were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request made in 2005, and provide details about how Area 51 came about.

Area 51, officially referred to as the Groom Lake test facility or 'the Ranch,' was established in April 1955 when scouts spotted the area while flying over the Mojave Desert.

'By July 1955, the Groom Lake facility was ready for operations, although it was still quite primitive,' the report states.

'It included a 5,000-foot asphalt runway, housing for about 150 personnel, a mess hall, a few wells to provide water, fuel storage tanks, and a small amount of hangar and shop space.'

The first planes were delivered to Area 51 on July 25, 1955, and the trials began two days later, and the first documented test flight occurred on August 4, 1955.

The goal was to establish Project AQUATONE, the CIA's program to develop the Lockheed U-2 strategic reconnaissance aircraft. 

The U-2 was designed to conduct high-altitude, long-range surveillance of the Soviet Union to address critical intelligence gaps during the Cold War. 

The CIA report noted that reports about UFOs around Area 51 occurred 'in the early evening hours from pilots of airliners flying from east to west.'

Area 51, officially referred to as the Groom Lake test facility or 'the Ranch,' was established in April 1955 when scouts spotted the area while flying over the Mojave Desert. Pictured is Area 51 taken during a 1957 U-2 flight

A CIA document declassified in 2013 revealed the UFO sightings were due to it flying US spy planes over the area 

'If a U-2 was airborne in the vicinity of the airliner at the time, its horizon was considerably more distant, and it was still in sunlight,' reads the document.

'At times, when a U-2 pilot made a turn, the sunlight reflecting off the U-2's silver wings would cause a series of glints or flashes. This caused airliner pilots to report seeing a bright object high above them.'

Even more, the CIA revealed that it had flown personnel assigned to the test site from 'the Lockheed plant in Burbank, California, every Monday morning and returned to Burbank on Friday evening' to conceal the base from the public eye.

The OXCART program, which developed the A-12 reconnaissance plane, started flights in September 1960.

The Lockheed A-12 was intended for high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance missions, particularly over areas deemed 'denied' or politically sensitive.

The airplane was used by the CIA for five years to fly operational missions over Southeast Asia before it was retired in 1969 and put into storage at Palmdale, California.

'In early 1962, CIA officials became concerned about the possibility that the Soviet Union might learn about the OXCART program through overhead reconnaissance,' the document reads.

Because of the fear, the CIA tested the site's visibility using their own reconnaissance assets by having having 'Groom Lake photographed by a U-2 and later by a CORONA reconnaissance satellite.'

But in 1974, 'the Skylab astronauts inadvertently photographed the Groom Lake test site despite specific instructions not to do so.'

Skylab was America's first space station and a pioneering research laboratory in space. 

The agency declassified a more than 400-page report that detailed how testing its secret spy planes 'accounted for more than one-half of all UFO reports during the late 1950s and most of the 1960s.' Pictured is a mysterious triangle tower on the base

Details about astronauts snapping images of Area 51 are the last reference to the secret base in the 400-page report. 

Self-proclaimed Ufologist Stanton Friedman did not take the documents as fact, saying in 2013: 'The notion that the U-2 explains most sightings at that time is utter rot and baloney.

'Can the U-2 sit still in the sky? Make right-angle turns in the middle of the sky? Take off from nothing?' 

And it seemed thousands of Americans did not believe the CIA either.

In July 2019, nearly 500,000 people committed to storming Area 51 that September.

The 'Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us' event was created on Facebook, garnering more than 460,000 'going' RSVPs while another 460K said that they were 'interested' in infiltrating the Nevada compound.

'We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry,' the event description says.

'If we Naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets [sic] see them [sic] aliens.'

The phrase 'Naruto run' refers to anime character Naruto Uzumaki, who is known for a running style that has his body tilted forward and low to the ground while his arms are stretched out behind his back. 

A few days after the Facebook event was created by Matty Roberts, he revealed it was all a 'joke.'

Roberts told Nevada's KLAS-TV via video call on Wednesday he was amazed at how his hoax took off. 'I posted it on like June 27th and it was kind of a joke,' Roberts said.

Roberts said he had decided to come forward out of fear the FBI would come to question him over the joke after millions of UFO conspiracy theory fans signed up to invade the top-secret US Air Force base.

UFOs are at risk of going 'down the paranormal rabbit hole', expert warns - as bombshell report reveals Pentagon planted myths

• READ MORE: Bombshell report reveals truth about Area 51 UFO conspiracy

By WILIAM HUNTER

UFOs are at risk of 'going down the paranormal rabbit hole', an expert has warned in wake of a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal. 

The report revealed that UFO conspiracies were fuelled by the Pentagon in a bid to conceal a classified weapons programme.

According to the 2024 US Department of Defense (DOD) review, the government conducted a deliberate disinformation campaign during the Cold War era, going so far as to distribute fake photos of flying saucers to residents.

Following the release of the report, Nick Pope, who worked on the MoD's UFO desk for three years from 1991, claims that some UFO investigators are introducing 'too much religiosity' into their theories.

In a post on X, Mr Pope wrote: 'The subject of UAP has gone from fringe to mainstream. 

'Congress is engaged. 

'We risk losing this if we go down the paranormal rabbit hole, or introduce too much religiosity or spirituality into the narrative. 

'Let's keep the focus on defense, national security and safety of flight.'

Mr Pope (pictured), who worked on the MoD's UFO desk for three years from 1991, cautioned that some UFO investigators were introducing 'too much religiosity' into their theories and warned that those interested in UFOs should 'keep the focus on defense, national security, and safety of flight'

Over the last few years, there has been growing interest at the highest levels of US politics in the topic of UFOs and UFO sightings.

Members of Congress, largely coming from the Republican Party, have formed a caucus to examine what they call 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' or 'UAPs'.

In 2023, this culminated in a major congressional hearing in which former US officials testified to the existence of a secret UFO recovery programme.

David Grusch, who led the analysis of UAP within a US defence agency, claimed that the government had taken possession of alien craft and 'biologics'.

However, UFOs' growing credibility now risks taking a serious blow as it emerges that a number of UFO theories might have been deliberately started by the Pentagon itself.

The new claims of a secret weapons cover-up come from a report by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) - a congressional task force within the DOD created to investigate persistent rumours of secret government projects involving alien technology.

Sean Kirkpatrick, the first director of the AARO, was appointed by the government in 2022 to investigate and make sense of the countless UFO theories swirling through public and military channels.

Investigating UFO reports dating back to 1945, AARO discovered several cases where high-ranking military officials deliberately misled the public and their colleagues.

The subject of UFOs has recently gained credibility, culminating in a series of Congressional Hearings in 2023 in which whistleblowers testified that the US has a secret UFO retrieval programme 

Recent reports suggest that the Pentagon deliberately fanned the flames of UFO conspiracies and gave doctored images to members of the public and members of the military to cover up a secret weapons programme. Pictured: The famous 'Tic Tac' UFO video

Mr Kirkpatrick told the Wall Street Journal he had met a number of former Air Force members who claimed to have been briefed on a project called 'Yankee Blue'.

For decades, some newly recruited officers were given a picture which appeared to show a flying saucer and were told that they were part of a programme called Yankee Blue which was responsible for reverse-engineering the technology.

However, the picture was a fake and there was such a reverse-engineering programme.

Instead, Yankee Blue appears to have been a bizarre hazing ritual or loyalty test for new recruits into the Air Force.

And even decades later, news that Yankee Blue was fake stunned the now-retired servicemen.

It was not until 2023 did the defence secretary's office sent a memo out across the service ordering the practice to stop immediately.

Kirkpatrick told then President's director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, who was also stunned.

Haines was said to have pressed the issue, questioning how the hazing could have carried on without being stopped.

According to the 2024 US Department of Defense (DOD) review, the Pentagon (pictured) conducted a deliberate disinformation campaign during the Cold War era, going so far as to distribute fake photos of flying saucers to residents.

The official responded: 'Ma'am, we know it went on for decades. We are talking about hundreds and hundreds of people. These men signed NDAs. They thought it was real.'

Mr Pope told MailOnline: 'The idea that governments have faked UFO narratives so as to distract people from black project technologies isn't new. 

'It doesn't surprise me that the practice continues, or that other false narratives have been created, perhaps as loyalty tests, to see if people leak them, or even as practical jokes.'

These findings are particularly critical for UFO researchers since they threaten to cast doubt over recent high-profile testimony given before Congress.

For example, Mike Gold, who served on NASA's independent UAP study team in October 2022, told Congress that 'UAPs should be taken seriously and researched accordingly.'

If it is true that UFO sightings are being manufactured by the intelligence community, then it could mean this testimony can no longer be relied on.  

Mr Pope adds: 'At some of the public sessions, Intelligence Community insiders have testified as to the reality of legacy Intelligence Community programmes relating to crash retrievals and reverse engineering, unequivocally stating that the U.S. government is in possession of hardware and bodies of a non-human intelligence.

'Congress urgently now needs to ask: are these statements true, were the witnesses taken in by these false narratives, or were they complicit in creating and spreading such narratives?'

Despite this new information, UFO advocates such as Luiz Elizondo (pictured) have doubled down on their beliefs. Mr Elizondo appeared to insinuate that the recent investigation was, itself, part of a conspiracy to hide the truth about UFOs

As these reports rattle many UFO believers, Mr Pope insists that it is key for those in favour of UFO disclosure to 'push narratives that compete with the religious/spiritual one'.

Mr Pope wrote: 'Let's keep the focus on defense, national security and safety of flight.'

His comments come in response to a growing number of UFO supporters who argue that aliens are actually angels or other supernatural creatures.

For example, Luis Elizondo, one of the leading UFO whistleblowers and disclosure advocates, has claimed that he psychically transformed into an angel to scare terrorists as part of a secret Pentagon programme.

Yet despite the Wall Street Journal's revelations and Mr Pope's appeal to stick to the facts, many UFO believers have only entrenched themselves deeper in conspiracy theories.

Speaking on the Good Trouble Show podcast, Mr Elizondo said: 'The absurdity of the WSJ article is not only a disingenuous piece, it appears to be well orchestrated with the usual players in the DoD [Department of Defence].'

Likewise, commenters on the popular r/UFO Reddit page shared their belief that the WSJ investigation must be another conspiracy.

One commenter wrote: 'The fact they are claiming this is totally absurd but it’s important to see why they are doing it. WSJ is being fed this info from Pentagon sources. Why? What is their angle?'

UFO believers are concerned that these findings could be used to undermine the testimony of several whistleblowers given before Congress in 2023. This has led to wild speculation that the investigation itself was a 'psy-op' from the Pentagon to discredit UFO believers 

Experts say that conspiracy theories are 'sticky', meaning that believers cannot give them up easily even when faced with contradictory evidence 

However, psychologists say that this reaction to the sudden release of new information is normal for conspiracy theorists.

Dr Daniel Jolley, an expert on the psychology of conspiracy theories from the University of Nottingham, told MailOnline: 'Conspiracy beliefs can be very “sticky” because they’re often tied to people’s identity and worldview.

'When someone invests in a conspiracy belief, it becomes part of how they make sense of the world and themselves. 

New evidence that contradicts those beliefs can be dismissed or rationalised away since accepting it might threaten deeply held assumptions and create psychological discomfort.'

This means that the suggestion that UFO myths were created as a disinformation campaign is unlikely to affect the deeply held beliefs of those who already think UFOs are real.

A set of disturbing photos claiming to show a dead alien caught the attention of Joe Rogan, who was stunned by what he saw. 

The three photos, which surfaced last week on X, have been linked to former military intelligence official Luis Elizondo, a polarizing figure in the world of UFO investigations. 

Elizondo has previously made headlines with unverified claims about extraterrestrials and advanced aerial technology. 

Daily Mail has chosen not to show the images in full due to their graphic nature.

'Did you see, Lou Elizondo, these photos that are supposedly of a real alien?' Rogan said to his guests, comedians Luis J Gomez and Big Jay Oakerson. 

'It's so dumb. The photos look blurry... of the photos of the dead alien. This is crazy.'

Along with the photos, Rogan presented a 1993 document claiming they depicted 'an alien hybrid child born to a 15-year-old girl, subject of an ET genetic experiment.' 

The discussion quickly veered into speculation when Rogan and his guests wondered if the figure in the images might be a baby with Harlequin ichthyosis, a skin disorder that causes thick, scaly plates on the body. 

'It could be anything, man. I mean, it might not even be human,' Rogan said.

The images have triggered intense backlash online, with many users convinced they depict a deceased baby rather than an extraterrestrial being. Critics have slammed Elizondo for allegedly promoting the photos without proper context. 

'Did you see, Lou Elizondo, these photos that are supposedly of a real alien?' Rogan said. 'It's so dumb. The photos look blurry... of the photos of the dead alien. This is crazy'

A set of disturbing photos claiming to show a dead alien flooded the internet, catching the attention of Joe Rogan, who appeared stunned by the bizarre images. Daily Mail has chosen not to show in full due to their graphic nature

However, UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) researcher Rob Heatherly told DailyMail.com that he sent the images to the former Pentagon official in hopes of getting clarification.

'His only reply to my inquiry, paraphrasing, was that he had absolutely no idea either,' Heatherly said. 

'Lue gets accused of things frequently that he has no actual involvement in or cognizance of. It's not required that he address each accusation, especially the absurd one, as this is. 

He claimed the photos were sold at auction, saying: 'I didn't buy the albums. I found the auctions and saved the images. 

'The person who listed them for sale was commenting about them with me in recent days regarding this.'

DailyMail.com contacted Elizondo and his lawyer Ivan Hannel last week for comment and has yet to receive a response. 

Elizondo, however, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience in 2024, where he claimed the intelligence community and the Department of Defense have 'hundreds and hundreds of videos of UFOs.'

Rogan did not say Elizondo had shared the images, only mentioned that the former military intelligence official was somehow involved with them.

Along with the photos, Rogan presented a 1993 document claiming they depicted 'an alien hybrid child born to a 15-year-old girl, subject of an ET genetic experiment'

'Like you can't even zoom in on that,' Rogan said during the podcast, highlighting how blurry the images were. 'You can't even f****** focus. Look at these. 

'What is that? What's that? What is that dude? How about better pictures? These are the only pictures. Is this from the forties? Like, what's this picture from? What is this?'

Elizondo recently came under fire after sharing an image he said was a UFO.

While speaking in front of Congress on May 1, he held up what he said was a never-before-seen image of a cruise ship–sized craft he claimed was spotted hovering 21,000 feet in the air over the western US.

The image quickly flooded social media and was debunked in less than 24 hours. 

Users analyzed the photo and located the object, discovering it was actually a snapshot of two irrigation circles in rural Colorado.

Mick West, a British-American science writer and conspiracy theory investigator, wrote on X: 'This UFO photo shows two irrigation circles.

While speaking in front of Congress on May 1, Luis Elizondo held up what he said was an image of a cruise ship–sized craft he claimed was spotted hovering 21,000 feet in the air over the western US. It was quickly debunked. He has not commented on the recent photos

Another mistake involved a high-resolution image of a 'mothership' in 2022, which looked at first glance to be piercing through the clouds in Romania, but was later debunked as the window reflection of an indoor chandelier lamp 

'The roads are perfectly aligned, and the 'shadow' is in the wrong direction.'

West also noted that this isn't the first time Elizondo, who led the Pentagon's program investigating UFO sightings for 10 years, has made a major UFO blunder.

One glaring mistake involved a high-resolution image of a supposed 'mothership' in 2022, which appeared to be piercing through clouds over Romania. It was later debunked as the window reflection of an indoor chandelier lamp.

Others in the Reddit thread were less forgiving toward Elizondo, with many accusing him of spreading disinformation.

'Trying to clown all of us,' one user wrote. 'If any of the people coming forward are serious, they'll distance themselves from him.'

'Really brings into question what they are doing with disclosure. Starting to think that Elizondo and co. are just disinformation agents,' another added.

Despite the criticism, Elizondo doubled down on showing the photo at Thursday's hearing, saying on X Friday that it was an unvetted image he used to prove a point about civilian pilots lacking access to UFO-reporting resources.

'The purpose of me showing the photo was to illustrate the need for civilian and commercial pilots to have a central reporting mechanism to report potential anomalous sightings,' Elizondo posted on X Friday.

'In this case, the pilot who took the photo, using his own camera, did not have a way to report what he believed was anomalous,' he continued.

'The ones who are screaming about it (instead of discussing it respectfully as I hoped) missed the entire point of the photo and are not helping other pilots in the future from coming forward,' the whistleblower added.

A startling new video has captured a clear image of what one witness believes was a giant UFO flying over California.

The April 27 video taken by an unnamed resident in Twentynine Palms followed what appears to be a brightly-lit hexagonal craft as it flew over the desert.

The UFO reportedly appeared out of nowhere around 10:27 pm PT while the witness was staying at a remote cabin.

'It seemed to move arbitrarily with no clear path. The movements were jerky and at varying speeds,' the witness wrote in their NUFORC report.

The large object also appeared to pulsate, giving off a bright light from its edges, as it moved through the sky for approximately 15 minutes.

'Tonight is the new moon - so it was definitely not the moon, and in any case was much brighter than even a full moon,' the witness continued.

'The striking thing was its great brightness and irregular shape and path,' they added.

The April 27 video taken by an unnamed resident in Twentynine Palms, California followed what appears to be a brightly-lit hexagonal craft as it flew over the desert

As the witness in Twentynine Palms followed the UFO, they added that the strange craft began to change shape - morphing from a six-sided object into a circle.

The person taking the cellphone video was the only witness at the cabin that night, so no one else was able to confirm their story.

However, they declared in their report to NUFORC that they hadn't taken any 'mind altering substances' during the sighting and had clear vision the entire time.

Officials at NUFORC tried to find an explanation for the sighting, noting that a SpaceX rocket launch had taken place that day, but that Falcon 9 took off from in Florida three hours earlier.

A previous rocket launch created a similar phenomenon over the UK in March.

That bizarre shape was caused by illuminated frozen fuel expelled from the SpaceX rocket, experts revealed.

The light blue spiral is formed when excess fuel that has been released from the fast-spinning rocket turns to ice.

It then reflects the sunlight in the upper atmosphere - giving it an otherworldly gleam - before turning to water vapor.

Experts say the bizarre shape seen in the UK in March was caused by illuminated frozen fuel expelled from a SpaceX rocket - and was not caused by aliens

The brand new sighting came just days before a US congressional hearing on UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs).

The speakers, including Pentagon UFO project whistleblower Luis Elizondo, a former NASA administrator, and a retired Navy admiral called on the government to release what they know about these unexplained sightings.

They also called for an increase in funding for the detection of UFOs and UAPs, which several hearing speakers said was being suppressed by the US intelligence community.

Elizondo and others noted that witnesses like the one in Twentynine Palms have no centralized official channel in the US to speak to when it comes to reporting UFO sightings.

Therefore, countless alleged sightings either go unreported or are never investigated by the military or federal officials.

NUFORC and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) are two of the most recognized civilian groups keeping track of sightings by civilians.

While these two organizations are not government-affiliated, they often share data with researchers or government entities when significant cases arise.

A strange jellyfish-like phenomenon was spotted streaking across the California sky Monday night.

While the unusual 'UFO' sighting baffled many locals from the Mojave desert to Los Angeles's South Bay, scientists say there were no extraterrestrials involved in creating the jellyfish - it was an Elon Musk rocket.

SpaceX's latest Falcon 9 rocket mission lifted off at 11:36pm ET Monday night from Vandenberg Space Force Station in California.

A few minutes into the flight, the rocket's exhaust interacted with the atmosphere, creating a visible cloud of condensed water vapor.

Since the launch took place right after sunset, around 8:36pm PT, the sun illuminated the crystalized exhaust plume, resulting in a spectacular sight for millions on the ground.

Californians posted images of the rocket soaring over the state on X, even as far south as Riverside, over 200 miles southeast of the Vandenberg launch site.

SpaceX's lead avionics systems engineer, Cameron Gable, captured the jellyfish phenomenon as the rocket traveled past Los Angeles County's South Bay.

The mission, dubbed Starlink 15-9, saw SpaceX launch its latest batch of Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. 

Scientists said that the mysterious jellyfish seen over California Monday night was the exhaust trail of a Falcon 9 rocket

The Falcon 9 rocket's exhaust interacted with Earth's atmosphere, creating a visible cloud of condensed water vapor that became easier to see right after sunset

SpaceX's lead avionics engineer posted on X, showing the jellyfish effect as it passed over Los Angeles's South Bay

The jellyfish phenomenon, also known as a 'vapor cone' or 'shock collar,' occurs when the localized air pressure around the rocket drops, causing the air temperature to decrease and water vapor to condense into visible clouds.

Monday's giant jellyfish display started just a few minutes into the flight and was visible to anyone in the Southern California area.

It's not the first time a SpaceX rocket has produced the jellyfish effect. In October 2022, sky watchers caught another Falcon 9 rocket creating the same vapor trail during a similar mission to deploy new satellites.

Monday's Falcon 9 launch was the latest mission in SpaceX's ongoing efforts to expand its Starlink 'constellation,' aiming to enhance global internet coverage.

SpaceX has already conducted 75 launches in 2025, mainly for Starlink missions.

The mission also used a reusable first-stage engine, a hallmark of SpaceX's design philosophy aimed at reducing the cost of spaceflights.

SpaceX captured the moment on their live broadcast when the reusable engine safely landed back on Earth to be used again in future missions.

Monday's mission was the 200th from the company's Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg.

The SpaceX launch was part of the company's ongoing Starlink mission, which is deploying a network of new satellites that will boost global internet coverage

The jellyfish effect is a common occurrence during space rocket launches and can normally be seen from states hundreds of miles from the actual launch site

The remote-controlled reusable rocket engine made a perfect touchdown on SpaceX's droneship in the Pacific Ocean about eight minutes after launch, making it the 463rd engine returned to Earth.

While the jellyfish effect may seem like a bizarre UFO to the untrained eye, it's common among spaceflights.

Social media users regularly capture rockets giving off the jellyfish trail from hundreds of miles away.

One X user in Phoenix, Arizona, was able to spot a similar jellyfish during a June 2024 launch. That mission also involved a Falcon 9 launching from Vandenberg, which was over 500 miles away.

When a rocket launches, it expels a large amount of exhaust gases at high speeds. These gases, primarily composed of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other rocket launch byproducts, expand rapidly as they exit the rocket's nozzle.

As the exhaust plume expands, it encounters cooler, denser air in Earth's upper atmosphere. This can cause the water vapor in the exhaust to condense into visible clouds, forming a balloon-like shape around the rocket.

The high speed of the rocket can also create shock waves, further shaping the exhaust into distinctive patterns, creating the jellyfish effect. 

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets, with their frequent launch schedule and reusable first stages, often trigger this effect due to their design and the typical launch times chosen for optimal visibility.

However, any rocket launch around the world can potentially give off a jellyfish trail, especially when the conditions are right for the exhaust to give off a dramatic display in the atmosphere.

UFO researchers in Mexico claim that a group disguised as police have tried to steal the mysterious orb scientists believe may prove the existence of aliens.

Dr Steven Greer, an American ufologist and retired physician, revealed on X that 'fake policemen' attempted to enter the vault in Mexico City where the suspected UFO is being kept while scientists examine it.

Known as the Buga Sphere, the small, metal orb was spotted in March over the town of Buga in Colombia, zig-zagging through the sky in a way that defies the movement of conventional aircraft.

Controversial UFO researcher Jaime Maussan, who has had several claims about extraterrestrials debunked in recent years, hosted an international conference to discuss the latest findings on the Buga Sphere on June 20.

US Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri and Dr Greer were among a group of American officials in attendance when Maussan claimed that the imposters attempted to steal the Buga Sphere.

Greer added that scientists have already taken samples of the UFO that 'will be tested in a state-of-the-art lab' to determine if the sphere really is from another planet.

'Those scientists and their information have been provided to the top law enforcement... Any sort of attempts to interfere with this examination will be known, and the people and perpetrators will be held to account for it,' Greer said in a June 21 post on X. 

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

US Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri (pictured) attended the June 20 conference in Mexico City, examining the sphere and alleged alien remains presented by UFO researcher Jaime Maussan

Congressman Burlison added that it was his belief that governments and other groups may be working to suppress the public's knowledge of UFOs and alien life.

'It's not any government's right to protect knowledge about extra terrestrials, if it exists,' Burlison said on Friday. 'We have too many people reporting and too many videos to ignore it.'

According to researchers at the conference, this is the first UFO recovered by private citizens and solely controlled by non-government scientists. 

The attempted robbery came right after Maussan and other researchers revealed that they are trying to reactivate the sphere using an electrical charge. 

According to Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer working with scientists from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the sphere gave off a strong, decaying ionized field.

That field was responsible for somehow dehydrating the field it landed in, killing all the grass and soil there.

Maussan has had several claims about UFOs debunked over the years. He has been at the forefront of 2 major extraterrestrial cases currently: the Buga Sphere and alleged alien mummies from Peru

The June 20 presentation also revealed new images of the interior of the Buga Sphere, showing the nucleus of the device appeared to be similar in design to inventor Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower from the early 1900s.

The concept of the tower was to send electrical power through the air and ground without using wires, potentially providing free or cheap energy to homes, businesses, and even ships or planes. 

Garrido said the Buga Sphere may have operated in a similar way, with a miniature Wardenclyffe Tower hidden inside the UFO.

However, the engineer told reporters that scientists have no plans of cutting the sphere in half to reveal what's really inside.

Instead they're working on plans to power it back up so the sphere will begin rotating and levitating again.

'It could be a theory that once it levitates, it could have direct communication with whoever sent it,' Garrido said through a translator.

Engineer Rodolfo Garrido revealed that the interior of the Buga Sphere appears to look like a proposed wireless energy generator invented by Nikola Tesla in the 1900s

Engineer Rodolfo Garrido believes that the strange sphere may be some type of advanced probe capable of using an electromagnetic field to fly

For now, Greer said that scientists examining the Buga Sphere at UNAM are setting up security for the metal samples headed for further testing.

There has been no confirmation of Maussan's claims about the robbery attempt.

The journalist has been tied to several debunked claims, including multiple incidents where Maussan claimed to have evidence of a real UFO sightings, only for it to be debunked as a comet or star in the night sky.

Maussan has also claimed to have discovered physical evidence of mummified alien corpses on three separate occasions, but none of the incidents have been proven true.

During the June 20 conference, Maussan put pieces of these alleged corpses on display for the researchers and government officials, including Greer and Burlison, who were allowed to hold the specimens while wearing gloves.

Things Are Looking Up in Colorado: Is It Aliens? UFOs? Balloon Boy?

Happy World UFO Day. You're in the right place to celebrate, since this is one of the top ten states for spotting one.

By Teague Bohlen

Red Rocks employees spotted a UFO in June. 

Ross Jones/Canva

July 2 is World UFO Day, a time to celebrate Colorado's status as one of the top ten states for spotting an unidentified flying object, with 24.41 sightings per 1 million residents each year.

But really, every day is UFO Day in Colorado, with much-publicized sightings above Red Rocks and renewed interest in the saga of Balloon Boy.

What is it about this state that inspires tales of mysterious objects flying overhead? Is it a simple matter of elevation — we’re nearer to the sky, so we see more things in it? Is it the lack of oxygen, causing some visitors to hallucinate? Is it the fact that Mork & Mindy, starring Robin Williams as an alien, was set in Boulder? And what about the (relatively few) cases in which there’s photographic evidence of…well, something?

Clearly, Colorado wants to believe. While the state may not be racking up numbers like Area 51 and Roswell, we have our stories of close encounters, many of them captured in a 1969 report from the University of Colorado.

Colorado aliens: so friendly they'll give you directions.

YouTube

1. Pikes Peak, 1947
Just over a month before the incident at Roswell, New Mexico, started a spike in UFO sightings across the nation, there was a sighting right here in Manitou Springs on May 19, 1947. Seven employees of the Pikes Peak Railway were breaking for lunch when they spotted a shining silver object coming at them from the northeast. It would stop in mid-air, gyrate a bit, then fly in a deliberate straight line, all the time reflecting light in the way metal might. They tried to look at it through binoculars, but somehow those seemed to bring the image no closer. After twenty minutes of this aerial show, the object sped off to the west. The United States Air Force investigated, and reported that the phenomenon was “possible birds,” whatever that’s supposed to mean.

2. La Veta, 1955
In late November 1955, State Senator Sam T. Taylor saw what he described as a "dirigible-shaped object" at the base of the Spanish Peaks in Huerfano County — the very part of the state he represented. Taylor, who was the Democratic floor leader at the time, described it as a "luminous green-blue and jellylike" object that changed flight paths in mid-air. This is only one of the many stories revealed in the declassification of Project Blue Book, which tracked UFO data from 1952 until 1969.

"Snippy" is a Colorado legend steeped in the unknown.

YouTube

3. San Luis Valley, 1967
A three-year-old Appaloosa named Lady disappeared from the Harry King Ranch one day; she was found a couple of days later, dead and skinned around the head and neck, with several vital organs seemingly removed with surgical precision. The horse became a Colorado legend, nicknamed “Snippy” courtesy of the gallows humor of journalists referencing the condition of her remains, which were completely drained of blood; her naked skull was bleached as though it had been baking in the high desert sun for years. “Flying Saucer Sought in Death of Horse” was the headline of an October 6, 1967, article in the Rocky Mountain News.

4. Genesee, 1973
Woody Allen was apparently persuaded that Colorado was the perfect spot to see the future, and filmed sci-fi comedy Sleeper here. One of the sets included the "Sculptured House" built by architect Charles Deaton in 1963; it soon was nicknamed "Spaceship House" and then "Sleeper House." "On Genesee Mountain I found a high point of land where I could stand and feel the great reaches of the Earth," Deaton is quoted as saying in the 2009 book The Iconic House. "I wanted the shape of it to sing an unencumbered song." What's perhaps even more surprising is that this purple prose — and the unique home design still visible off I-70 that it inspired — came before marijuana was legalized in 2012.

5. Salida, 1995

Tim Edwards of Salida captured what many consider to be some of the best UFO footage to come from our state. When a tube-shaped object appeared in the sky near his Chaffee County home, the local restaurateur grabbed his camcorder and began to record. "I don't look outside no more," he told the Gazette Telegraph in 1996. "I don't get no sleep."

YouTube

6. Loveland, 2000-2014
For more than a decade, Colorado resident Stan Romanek was a leading expert in UFO lore, claiming to have been abducted first in 2000 and then several more times in subsequent years. He's also the person responsible for the widely circulated and highly suspect "boo video" of an alien supposedly peeking through one of his windows. The scariest part of Romanek's tale turned out to be something other than his abduction stories, however: He was convicted for possession of child pornography in 2017 and served two years in prison. He's currently a registered sex offender under intensive supervised probation through 2030, which means even the aliens don't want to have anything to do with the guy anymore.

7. Breckenridge, 2014
Three faint, ball-shaped orbs appeared over Breckenridge on October 3, 2014; employees of both the Breckenridge Police Department and the Summit County Sheriff’s Office were among the witnesses. "We have no idea what that was, no clue," local law enforcement told the Summit Daily. Still, according to the paper of record, neither department had plans to launch an investigation into what might have been behind the unidentified visitors to the mountain-town skyline "unless investigating means they walked outside on Friday to look at the sky."

8.  La Junta, 2019
In a YouTube video that hit big, a security cam in someone's driveway captured this image in the middle of the night. People described it as everything from Dobby from Harry Potter (like that's more believable than alien visitation?) to just a skinny kid in his underwear...doing a weird chicken dance in the wee hours of the morning.

9. Northeast Colorado, 2019-20
At the start of the COVID pandemic, there was a lot to focus on in the news...so you'd be forgiven if you've totally forgotten the invasion of drone-like lights over northeast Colorado and southwest Nebraska around the holidays, right before everything closed down. They always appeared after sunset, thirty-some six-foot-wide objects in formation, 200 to 300 feet above the ground. And then we all forgot about them because we were sheltering in place. Coincidence? Yes, obviously. This isn't InfoWars

10. Red Rocks, June 2024

A "large, disc-shaped craft with three levels of windows" was spotted by twelve Red Rocks workers loading out after a concert,"north of Red Rocks about a mile or so, hovering above the treetops on the [Hogback's] ridge," according to a report posted by the National UFO Reporting Center on June 11, 2024. "I was working at Red Rocks Amphitheater last night when one of our coworkers suddenly said to us, 'Hey, what is that over there? It looks like a spaceship,'" a Red Rocks employee wrote in the report. "We all turned to look in the direction he was pointing and sure enough, there was a UFO hovering about a half-a-mile to a mile north of Red Rocks. A dozen of us saw it. We all kept asking each other, 'Are you seeing this too?' It was a resounding 'yes' from everyone in the group."

"It's Red Rocks. We see magical, mysterious and wondrous things every night," explained venue spokesman Brian Kitts. "And we wouldn't be at all surprised if Red Rocks' reputation is intergalactic."

UFO Sightings in Colorado

 And a bonus

The UFO WatchTower, ongoing
If Colorado has a Roswell analog, it's the town of Hooper, population 77, which has lost about a quarter of its residents in the last fifteen years — not to abduction (so far as we know), but to simple attrition. Still, it boasts the 25-year-old UFO WatchTower a couple of miles north on Highway 17, where owner and operator Judy Messoline invites stargazers, skywatchers, campers and tourists of all kinds, alien or human, to visit. The observation platform has a 360-degree view of the surrounding area, with a gift shop, vortex garden and a small memorial to none other than Snippy the Horse, whose bones are here on display. As Messoline's UFO Watchtower website proclaims: “You never know who you will run into at the UFO WatchTower for a little conversation!!”

Reconnaissance Footage Of Flying Saucer UFO Taken By US Military Released For The First Time

by Douglas Charles

Video of a large flying saucer-shaped UFO recorded by a military sensor over a conflict zone has now been released to the public for the first time. The video of the UFO, labeled a UAP (or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) by the U.S. Department of Defense, had been hidden for years by the government.

According to investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, this particular UFO video was recorded by government personnel over the Afghan-Pakistan border in November of 2020. They were finally able to release it to the public on the most recent episode of their Weaponized podcast.

The UFO video contains raw thermal imagery, as well some enhanced images, taken during a mission by a high-altitude U.S. Air Force reconnaissance platform.

“This is the first time in history that military filmed footage of a disc-shaped UAP, designated as such by the military, has been captured on camera and released to the public,” Jeremy Corbell told DailyMail.com. “It has implications that are huge.”

“The source is legit. We know it’s real,” Knapp said. “It was not supposed to be made public. But it should’ve been.”

While discussing the UFO, the Weaponized co-hosts noted how the UFO, which they estimate the was between 200 and 400 meters in diameter, was “navigating through clouds” and abruptly changing directions without any visible heat signature.

“You do not see plumes of heat coming off this disc-shaped object,” said Corbell, adding, “This was captured on a thermal sensor – it should have detected heat if any traditional propulsion was present. But there’s nothing. That’s one of the wildest aspects.”

Corbell also pointed out, “There’s depth of field. There’s relative distance. The shape is undeniable. And the movement? It’s extraordinary. You’re seeing it dip into clouds, then emerge and reverse direction. That’s not an artifact. That’s a real object in motion.”

“The public has a right and a need to know,” Corbell said. “This capture is worthy of serious discourse – not just in the UFO community, but in international and scientific conversations. It challenges our understanding of what’s flying through our skies.”

The co-hosts also touched on the recent report that the Pentagon has secretly been spreading Area 51 and UFO stories to hide classified weapons programs, casting doubt on the authenticity of thousands upon thousands of UFO sightings and the testimony of credible whistleblowers. As the point out, this message is also meant to dissuade future whistleblowers from going public with their testimonies.

“I think [the CIA and the Pentagon] are covering up criminality,” said Knapp. “They’ve misled Congress. They’ve certainly misled major media like the Wall Street Journal, like the New York Times, like us, like everybody. They’ve lied for 75, 80 years and so piercing the veil and figuring out what’s true and what isn’t is hard.”

In 1992, Dr. Gregory Rogers a NASA flight surgeon and former Chief of Aerospace Medicine witnessed an event that would stay with him for more than three decades. Now, after years of silence, he’s finally revealing the details of a 15-minute encounter that shattered everything he thought he knew about aerospace technology. 

With a distinguished career that includes support for 31 space shuttle launches, training as an F-16 pilot, and deep involvement in classified aerospace programs, Dr. Rogers brings unmatched credibility to the conversation. His firsthand account of observing what appeared to be a reverse-engineered craft, emblazoned with "U.S. Air Force" markings, raises profound questions about the true timeline of UAP development and disclosure. 

The full interview spans nearly two hours. To help navigate the discussion, here’s a timeline so you can jump to the segments that interest you most.

4 mysterious UFO sightings that are still unexplained

Some UFO sightings can be explained away – but we still don't know the truth behind these ones.

Around 350 children and teachers at Westall High School in Melbourne, Australia, watched five planes surround a silvery flying-saucer-shaped UFO in 1966. The planes attempted to aerially herd the craft for about 20 minutes before it disappeared.

A UFO-themed play park commemorates the event and, to this day, witnesses meet once a year to discuss their experience.

In 1997, thousands of people reported lights across several hundred miles of night sky in Arizona and Nevada in the United States, and Sonora in Mexico. These lights were either stationary, or on a moving V-shaped craft in a triangular formation (artist’s impression above).

The United States Air Force stated that the lights over Phoenix were military flares but the V-shaped UFO remains a mystery.

In December 1980, US airmen stationed at RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England were investigating reports of lights in Rendlesham Forest when they saw red and blue lights and a UFO land. It was described as around three metres high and three metres in diameter and appeared to be standing on fixed legs. The material of the craft was like ‘smooth, opaque black glass.’

The next day, indentations were seen on the ground and radiation levels recorded. On a separate night, another member of the US Air Force set out to disprove his colleagues with a tape recorder. He reported lights in the sky that looked ‘like an eye winking at you’ and observed ‘a beam coming down to the ground’. Three years later, the US government released a report that described the encounter, which has become known as Britain’s Roswell.

While there remain believers, psychologist Prof Chris French – who has also visited the site – is among many of those who are unconvinced. A local forester said the indentations were caused by rabbits, and the levels of radioactivity were not especially high. As for the lights? “I’ve heard the tape,” says French, “and the lights are in complete synchrony with Orfordness Lighthouse nearby.”
