UFO-shaped clouds form over Queensland's Darling Downs as BOM predicts more rain

By Janelle Miles

It looks like a UFO, or an alien ship, but these oddly-shaped clouds snapped by locals west of Brisbane on Thursday morning are an indicator of Queensland's wild weather.

Kylie Craig Menkins photographed the storm cell from Gowrie Junction, near Toowoomba on the Darling Downs, about 5am.

She jokingly captioned it with "aliens come down", but told the ABC the spectacular display made her day.

"It was absolutely beautiful," she said.

Ken Manteit also snapped photos of the other-worldly cloud formation from Yalangur Lilyvale Road looking towards Oakey.

"It was so weird," his wife Roxanne said. 

Kevin Humphrey's photos of the storm cell at Glencoe, south-east of Oakey, were posted to social media with the caption "Spaceship at Glencoe".

"I thought it looked a bit UFOish," he said.

Daniel Hayes from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said a "series of storms" over the Darling Downs on Thursday morning was what caused these "photogenic clouds".

"They can sometimes look quite weird in shape, and definitely look a bit like a UFO or a spaceship," he said.

What do they mean?

Mr Hayes said the phenomena — known as arcus or shelf clouds — was a sign to check your weather app for any active warnings.

While the clouds weren't necessarily a cause for concern, "the strength of the gust front is often what brings damaging winds".

"You'll often get that cool breeze come through ahead of a big thunderstorm during these summer periods," Mr Hayes said.

"That's cold air coming down, out of the storm itself, moving ahead of [it]."

He said other types of clouds, like lenticular clouds, could also present in a unique shape — but this particular formation was generally associated with a thunderstorm.

"Through Queensland, you can get nice big storms [and] well-developed shelf clouds on these," Mr Hayes said.

Mr Hayes said while shelf clouds weren't uncommon, they were much more noticeable in isolated storm cells and areas with vast flat landscapes.

He explained arcus clouds formed along "the leading edge" of a storm, or the cell's "gust front".

He said shelf clouds were triggered when the cool air mixed with the warm, moist atmosphere near the ground and pushed upward.

"The bigger the storm, the more potential mixing there is, and the more potential strength to those downdrafts," Mr Hayes said.

He said the formation did not always need humid conditions, but dew point could indicate "what that available moisture is for storms to tap into".

What's the weather outlook?

Mr Hayes said similar weather was expected to continue over the weekend, with an inland trough moving through Queensland.

"We're expecting to see increasing showers and storms through the southern inland and south-east Queensland areas over the next few days," Mr Hayes said.

"There is the potential that we could see some more severe storms in that mix."

Damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall were possible, with showers expected on Sunday but easing into next week. 

"If [rain] falls very quickly, or we have slow-moving storms, we could have a flash flooding risk [and] some riverine responses," Mr Hayes said.

Meanwhile heatwave conditions were building in Queensland's west, with temperatures expected to push into the 40s over the weekend.

As clouds clear from the coast, the heat will move across into central and eastern Queensland.

Moment private jet crew spot stunning spherical UFO in night skies over Florida

By LAUREN ACTON-TAYLOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

A flight attendant caught on camera a mysterious spherical object flying above the plane she was working on, thousands of feet above the Bahamas.

Cassandra Martin, a flight attendant for private air service Surjet, was flying with two pilots in an empty jet on December 23 when Miami air traffic control alerted them to a 'foreign object' as they were flying back to Fort Lauderdale. 

The eerie footage showed a rounded blur of white light that faded into a green color, with a circular halo surrounding the object.  

'All of a sudden, I heard traffic control say, "We have a foreign object, can you please identify",' Martin said. 

'I looked to the left, and pilot saw three objects, I only saw one, and I grabbed my phone, I just pressed it to the window to see if I could get a video of what the object was.' 

'I don't know what it was, and it turned slightly green, almost kind of like it had an electric field around it of some sort, and it stayed with us for about 45 minutes and then we didn't see it again, and we were about 43-, 45,000 feet and it was way above us,' she added. 

Martin added that the object moved around in zigzag patterns. The height the object and the aircraft were flying at, however, is too high for a drone to operate, NBC 6 reported. 

'I think we were astonished, and it was something that you really can't explain but I don't have the qualifications to know what that is,' Martin said, recalling the conversation she had with the pilots on board.

'It had capabilities just to zigzag and change color, so that was a little daunting, to the say the least, but you know, it's also something fascinating that I was able to see and capture with my phone,' Martin said

Defense expert Bryan Bender, who works with a nonprofit advocacy group Americans for Safe Aerospace, said: 'I think the video is compelling, so you know, this video and this testimony rhymes a lot with a number of cases we heard from military pilots going back even 10 or 15 years and that is these orbs. 

'In some cases, they called them Tic Tacs, they were more oblong in shape but flying at very high altitudes but also being able to maneuver in ways that don't seem to make a lot of sense to us, at least we know physics. 

'And so, the question is, are these foreign adversaries that have made some breakthrough, or is it something else, and of course, that something else could be many things.' 

Bender added that the Pentagon had an office to investigate such sightings, and said it is imperative for national security and aviation safety that they find out what these unidentified anomalies are, NBC 6 reported. 

'Was it a little bit eerie? Yes, because again, we were pretty high up and whatever we saw was even higher than us,' Martin said. 'It had capabilities just to zigzag and change color, so that was a little daunting, to the say the least, but you know, it's also something fascinating that I was able to see and capture with my phone.' 

The sighting comes after a mysterious 'orange UFO orb' was seen flying over military base Fort Campbell along the Tennessee-Kentucky border on New Year's Day. 

An anonymous user on Reddit captured footage of a mystifying 'bright orange light' hovering relatively low as it traveled over the military base. 

The user, who witnessed the perplexing 'celestial' event alongside their father, who is a seasoned Army veteran, said that they 'couldn't explain' what they were seeing in the skies above.

Around 12:10am on January 1, the user, who was visiting family in a city just outside Nashville, then tried to capture the object 'as quickly as possible,' snapping a near 35-second clip of the glowing orb

'My dad, a former soldier with nearly 30 years of Army experience and extensive knowledge of the aircrafts that fly over his house, said he couldn’t explain what he saw - this was unlike anything he’d encountered before,' the post reads.

Around 12:10am on January 1, the Redditor, who was visiting family in a city just outside Nashville, tried to capture the object 'as quickly as possible,' snapping a near 35-second clip of the glowing orb.

'Just after midnight, my dad was outside watching fireworks when he noticed a bright orange light flying relatively low and maintaining a steady, consistent speed as it traveled from the northwest - where both Fort Campbell and the local airport are located,' the user claimed.

The curious onlookers were mystified at the unidentified flying object as it did not appear to have any additional lights as they suspect most drones do.

'My friend, dad, and I watched the object together and were surprised it had no additional lights, as one might expect on a drone,' the post adds.

'Initially, I thought it might be a hobbyist drone capturing footage of the fireworks for the New Year, but the apparent distance it was flying has made me second-guess that assumption.' 

As more sightings are being reported across the country, many to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), they continue to fuel public interest and speculation about the nature of these unidentified aerial phenomena.

A UFO expert has lifted the lid on some of his wildest encounters as we reveal the top five hotspots in the UK.

Nick Pope, who previously ran the British Government’s UFO Project, spoke about his experiences with extraterrestrial life in an exclusive chat with The Sun.

Nick lifted the lid on some extraterrestrial mysteries

For over two decades, Nick worked as a civilian employee at the MoD, with his most prominent role beginning in the early 1990s, where he ran the department's UFO program.

Nick was at the helm of the project, an initiative that monitored and investigated reports of unidentified flying objects to assess their potential impact on national security and aviation safety.

Although the program was never formally named, it was often referred to as the “UFO desk” or “UFO program” by a number of media outlets.

When looking at the distribution of these sightings across the UK, Nick and his team discovered that the hotspots were not necessarily the rural or remote locations that many assumed.

Nick told The Sun: “It’s interesting because when we mapped out the UFO sightings, they didn’t necessarily occur in remote, rural areas.

“The hotspots were often London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow – all the major cities and urban areas.

"The reason for this is simple - the more people there are in an area, the more likely someone is to spot something unusual in the sky.”

These cities, with their dense populations, provided more potential witnesses.

It meant that if something strange appeared in the sky, the chances of someone witnessing it were far higher.

Nick also notes that other areas, like Warminster have been known for their frequent UFO sightings.

“People used to go up Cradle Hill and Flea Hill in Warminster, and even some 1960s pop songs referenced the place,” he added.

Bonnybridge, in Scotland, saw a huge surge in UFO sightings in the 1990s, to the extent that local councillor Billy Buchanan lobbied the government for an inquiry.

“I ended up drafting the replies to Buchanan’s letters, which were sent to the Ministry of Defence,” Nick recalls.

“He wasn’t very happy with me because the government line was always to play down the significance of UFO sightings.”

Despite the official stance, Nick acknowledges that Bonnybridge was, indeed, a hotspot.

However, Nick also cautions against confirmation bias, adding: “When people go to these hotspots for sky watches, they may already be believers, which can affect how they perceive what they see.

"They may be more likely to misperceive something or to see what they expect to see.”

Another factor is the issue of light pollution in cities, which can obscure the view of the sky.

Despite this, urban areas remained UFO hotspots due to the sheer number of potential witnesses.

Even more intriguing, Nick pointed out, was the fact that UFO sightings seemed to cluster around military bases, particularly air force bases.

While some argue that these sightings are due to secret military aircraft or advanced aerospace technology, the fact remains that military bases are more heavily surveilled, and the likelihood of sightings there is higher.

From Rendlesham Forest to Cosford, Nick has worked on some of the most high-profile cases in UFO history, all while trying to navigate the Ministry’s official stance on the phenomenon.

And according to Nick, the number of UFO sightings reported in the UK was far higher than most people realise with reports representing only the tip of the iceberg.

"We’d get about 200 to 300 reports a year, and at its peak, that number went up to 700 or 800,” he recalls.

“But even that number is misleading because many sightings went unreported due to fear of ridicule or simply not knowing who to contact.”

In reality, Nick believes the actual number of UFO sightings in the UK each year could be in the tens of thousands.

The MoD had a national reporting system for UFO sightings, with people reaching out to local police stations, military bases, and airports.

However, sightings reported to the media or civilian UFO research groups were not always included in the official data.

Calvine UFO Incident updated version with Nick Pope

The Calvine Incident

Among the most compelling pieces of evidence Nick Pope encountered during his time at the MoD was the Calvine Incident.

Nick said: "I think, the best photographic evidence we had came from a case called the Calvine Incident in August of 1990.

"This was just before my posting on the UFO desk, so my predecessor would have handled the investigation, but I certainly got involved in it."

The case involved two hikers in Scotland who captured six crystal-clear photographs of a large, diamond-shaped craft.

Nick, who inherited the investigation, recalls: “These photographs were examined by the UK’s top imagery analysts—Defence Intelligence Staff, Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre.

“We concluded that this was the real deal. This wasn’t a hoax.”

The photos showed an object about 70 to 90 feet in diameter, with no visible means of propulsion, a detail that intrigued Nick and his colleagues.

The absence of conventional aerodynamic features, like wings or rotor blades, made the object even more mysterious.

The incident also featured a military jet circling the UFO, possibly trying to intercept it or gather data.

“This was a genuine mystery on our hands,” he adds, noting that the object in the photographs moved in ways that defied conventional aircraft design.

Nick also highlights the potential connection between the timing of the sighting and the geopolitical events unfolding in August 1990.

Reflecting on the mystery, he said: "The photographs were taken just two days after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, a moment that sparked preparations for military action.

“We wondered if this could have been a military prototype or reconnaissance aircraft.

“We asked both our own people and the Americans about this, but the Americans denied it."

Despite the U.S. government’s denials, Nick and his team remained unconvinced. “Sometimes we thought, ‘This is not just next generation; this is something a generation ahead.’ And if that’s the case, where is it now?”

Nick asks. "Where is the Rendlesham UFO? Where is the Cosford UFO now? Ten years later, these should have been unveiled. We should be seeing them at the Farnborough Air Show, but we’re not."

The question of whether UFO sightings could be attributed to advanced human technology is one that constantly resurfaced in Nick’s work.

“At any given time, there will be tech that’s 5, 10, even 15 years ahead of what the public knows,” Nick explains.

He points to historical examples, such as the U-2 spy plane and the SR-71 Blackbird, which were years ahead of their time when they were first introduced.

Cosford Mystery

A key event from Nick’s time at the MoD was the Cosford UFO sighting in March 1993.

He said: "It took place over a series of 6 hours or thereabouts on March 30, the and March 31, 1993. So that was right in the middle of my posting.

"So of course, I led the investigation into this and my case file, which is over a hundred pages of documents."

Over many hours, several witnesses, including police officers and military personnel, saw a large, triangular-shaped craft in the sky.

One of the most detailed reports came from a meteorological officer at RAF Shawbury, who described the object as being the size of a craft somewhere between a C-130 Hercules and a Boeing 747.

It emitted a low-frequency hum, and a beam of light appeared to be scanning the ground below.

“We had dozens of witnesses to the Cosford sighting, including police and military personnel,” Nick says.

“Some people even described the object as being like ‘two Concorde aircraft glued together.’ The most intriguing part of the case was the beam of light that seemed to track back and forth, almost like it was searching for something.”

Nick’s investigation into the sighting led to some theories, including the possibility that the sighting could have been related to the re-entry of a Russian rocket. However, this theory didn’t fully explain all the reports, and Nick wasn’t convinced it was the definitive answer.

Ultimately, Nick and his team were left with more questions than answers, he said: “We couldn’t definitively explain what happened, but there were certain things that gave us pause for thought.

"The speeds and manoeuvres reported by the witnesses were orders of magnitude above anything that we had or anything that we knew our adversaries had.

“I thought, maybe, this really is the real deal. Maybe this is extraterrestrial.

“It wasn’t a firm intelligence assessment, but it was one of the theories we put forward.”

UK trailing in UFO 'race'

When it comes to how the UK and the US are handling UFO research, Nick is critical of the UK’s lack of progress.

While the US government has made significant strides in acknowledging and investigating UFOs in recent years, the UK has been far slower to act - something Nick believes this is a dangerous oversight.

“In the 1960s, there was talk of a missile gap and a space race. Today, we have what I call a UFO gap,” he argues.

“The US is leading the way, and other countries are falling behind. Something is in our airspace, and we need to figure out what it is. If something can outpace your cutting-edge aerospace technology, it’s a threat, but it could also be an opportunity.”

Pope criticises the UK’s decision to axe its UFO programme in 2009. “I think that was a mistake,” he says.

“It leaves a gap that adversaries could exploit. We’ve seen this in recent incidents, like the Chinese spy balloon saga. If we’re not keeping an eye on UFO sightings, we could miss important intelligence.”

In contrast, the Pentagon has embraced UFO research through its All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which investigates UFOs, particularly military sightings.

While the UK is peripherally involved through intelligence-sharing agreements like the Five Eyes Forum, Nick believes the UK needs to take a more proactive approach.

He claims it is time for the UK to reinstate its UFO desk and begin taking public reports again.

“Something is in our airspace. Whether it’s Russia, China, extraterrestrials, or something else, it’s making us look foolish,” Nick warns.

“We need a proper UFO research program in the UK. We have the resources — radar systems, satellites, and space tracking. What we need is the political will to use them.

“You’re not looking at huge new costs — it’s just a case of using what you have to investigate UFOs properly.”

Changing attitudes

Reflecting on his own journey, Nick admits that before he began working on the UFO desk, he hadn’t given much thought to UFOs at all.

He was sceptical, and certainly not someone who actively believed in extraterrestrial life.

But his time working in the government’s UFO desk opened his eyes to the possibility that there was something more to these sightings than misidentifications or hoaxes.

“I wasn’t a true believer,” he says, “but now I’m much more open-minded. I don’t rule anything out.”

He notes that there seems to be a consistent pattern that suggests a “core phenomenon” that might be underpinned by advanced intelligence and technology.

The potential knowledge that could be gained from a civilisation far more advanced than ours is something Nick considers too important to ignore.

For the ex-MoD man, even the possibility of such a discovery makes it worth investigating the phenomenon further.

“Sceptics have to be right every day, but believers only need to be right once,” he points out.

"If just one UFO sighting turns out to be genuine, the impact on humanity would be transformative. Whether it’s extraterrestrials, time travellers, or something else entirely, the implications would be profound.

“There’s no part of society that wouldn’t be deeply affected. If extraterrestrial life were confirmed, it would change everything—from politics and religion to science, technology, and philosophy."

He continued: "People will look back on that day as the moment everything changed. Millions of years from now, they’ll say that’s the day it happened.”

Whether you’re captivated by the stories of strange shapes in the sky, or curious about what drives these reports, one thing is clear - Scotland's UFO phenomena are

Scotland has been treated to a wave of earthly activity recently, from seeing the Northern Lights overhead to feeling earthquakes beneath our feet. Now, there are murmurings of movements from extra-terrestrial life.

Scots have always been partial to a UFO sighting. Just days before Christmas, an orange ball of light in the skies over Alva, Clackmannanshire, was recorded on a database of potential UFO sightings.

The spate of happenings may move people to wonder how Scotland fares against the rest of the UK in terms of spotting glowing teardrops, speedy silver circles, massive stretches of light, or simply bizarre objects in the skies.

According to Slotwise, Glasgow ranks fourth in the UK cities with the most number of UFO sightings. The Dear Green Place notes 51 sightings, only pipped to the post by London, Manchester, and Birmingham, which recorded 280, 88, and 73 reports of phenomena respectively. Maybe aliens are big fans of Glasgow Green or Kelvingrove Park.

One of the most intriguing aspects of UFO sightings is the description of the objects. According to reports, one UFO truther in the West Dunbartonshire town of Dumbarton said they saw a "massive stretch of light going at least 500mph".

The year with the most UFO sightings in the UK was 2009 with 286. In comparison, 2024 was a relatively quiet year, with 89 supposed sightings over the 12 months. Saying that, certain months see a noticeable spike in sightings.

Summer evenings often producing the most reports. With Earth bustling and lively during these months, it might just be the perfect time for intergalactic tourists to pay a visit. Either that or the skies are brighter and it’s easier to see mysteries at twilight.

UFOs seem to come in all shapes and sizes, too, according to the data. The most common thing people see when they believe they spot one is a beam of light. Circles and triangles are the second and third most popular shapes.

X-files: Musk blamed for ‘record number of UFO sightings’

Köhler expressed doubt as to whether any of those reporting to his organisation actually saw alien spacecraft, with the expert instead putting the sightings spike down to tech billionaire Musk’s Starlink satellite service.

The US company had a record year for launches in 2024. Köhler said Starlink satellites were particularly striking just after launch, as they often followed one another in a regular pattern across the sky.

Other sightings, he added, could often be put down to people mistaking planets such as Venus and Jupiter for mysterious craft, as well as Sirius, the brightest star in the sky.

Reported UFO sightings also ended up being balloons of various kinds, as well as drones, private aircraft, helicopters and sometimes meteors, Köhler added.

CENAP has already received 30 reports of UFOs over territory it covers so far this year.

Italy’s potential use of Elon Musk’s SpaceX’s Starlink satellite service for strategic communications has raised concerns among opposition figures over a possible risk to national security. https://t.co/Ur2P8rR3OH

Guys this just in. Some glowing UFOs were seen over Texas last week and the video is just mind blowing. The craft move silently across the sky and are about car size. Each followed the other like military pilots following one another, but possibly alien military. The evidence is mounting high. 

Scott C. Waring 

Eyewitness states:

Fireball-like objects appeared from 0° North and seemed to fly in the southwestern direction in the 200° range. The first one I saw lasted only 17 seconds before vanishing out of nowhere. This one was first seen at 10:40 PM. Ten minutes later, my mom and my neighbor saw three of these fireballs flying in the same direction. Each disappeared at different times, but without a discernible pattern. The first fireball in the fleet disappeared after 1 minute and 26 seconds, the second after 1 minute and 50 seconds, and the third after 2 minutes and 36 seconds. These time frames are based on when I started recording. Another fireball appeared at the same location at 10:54 PM and vanished after 33 seconds. Later, at 11:08 PM, another fireball appeared in the same location and disappeared after a minute. All the fireballs seemed to have appeared at the same location and flown in the same direction at different times. At first, I thought they might be drones, but I’ve never seen drones without flashing red and green lights. These fireballs didn’t flash any lights and maintained their color and brightness until they disappeared out of nowhere. What was particularly strange about the fireballs was their complete silence. Despite their quick speed, they emitted no noise whatsoever. My neighbor filmed the event as well, and this was the first time any of us had seen something like this.

The REAL reason for US drone invasion revealed as Pentagon's 'lack of transparency' fuels speculation

By FRANKIE ELLIOTT FOR MAILONLINE

Fears are continuing to grow in America over the mysterious nationwide drone sightings, as security officials are criticised for their 'lack of transparency' on the issue.

Multiple sightings of unmanned drones flying across the sky have been reported in a number of US cities and bases in the last month - including New Jersey, New York and Washington DC.

Their presence has raised both alarm and confusion with few answers forthcoming.

This has led many people to offer numerous suggestions and conspiracy theories online, with some believing they are Government nuclear weapon detector drones or the result of foreign powers spying on the country.

The FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration, White House and Pentagon released a joint statement on Saturday stating there was no evidence of large-scale or malicious drone activity.

They also dismissed many of the sightings as manned aircraft such as aeroplanes.

But this response was described as 'disturbing' by James Dodd, mayor of the town of Dover, New Jersey.

Meanwhile, Larry Hogan, the former governor of Maryland, took to social media to vent his frustrations with the White House's 'dismissive attitude' to the situation.

Mr Hogan said he had witnessed 'what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky' above his home for about 45 minutes on Thursday night. 

Multiple sightings of unmanned drones flying across the sky have been reported in a number of US cities and bases in the last month - including New Jersey, New York and Washington DC.  (pictured ) 

A mysterious 'glowing orb' seen hovering in skies above New Jersey - where most of the drones have been documented

Larry Hogan, the former governor of Maryland, took to social media to vent his frustrations with the White House's 'complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude' to the situation

He said: 'Like many who have observed these drones, I do not know if this increasing activity over our skies is a threat to public safety or national security. But the public is growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with the complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of the federal government.' 

Airing his grievances to the Financial Times, Mr Dodd said: 'We could shoot a missile down 5,000 miles away, but we can't determine where these drones are originating from?'

Dodd said he was left 'frustrated' by the 'scant information on a serious issue', having attended a briefing on the matter hosted by New Jersey state police this week.

The meeting was set up after the authorities in the state were flooded with reports of drones dotting the night sky, sometimes in groups and without any apparent purpose.

A wave of footage has emerged of the drones since they were first spotted last month, with some of the clearest video yet coming this week in New Jersey.

Video captured in Somerset County shows three 'mystery drones in the air' as two move extremely close as if they are interacting with each other.

The FBI has received more than 3,000 tips since the first sighting on November 18, with reports of varying levels of credibility cropping up in at least 12 counties throughout New Jersey, as well as eastern Pennsylvania and Orange County, New York.

And the crisis deepened last night, after DC locals claimed to have spotted drones floating in the sky around the US Capitol, as other videos purported to show objects on flight paths heading towards LaGuardia Airport. 

Charlie Kirk, 31, a conservative political activist and close confidant of president-elect Trump, took to X on Friday to claim America is 'f****d' as he suggested the recent mass drone sightings are part of Project Blue Beam.

'WE ARE F****D. THE DRONES ARE PROJECT BLUE BEAM,' Kirk posted on X.

'LOOK FOR VIDS OF THEM TRANSFORMING FROM BALLS OF LIGHT TO PLANES WHEN FILMED TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT INVESTIGATING. THEY ARE DOING THIS. WHATEVER YOU SEE IN THE COMING DAYS IS NOT GOOD.' 

Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory dating to the 1990s that claims global elites, including government and military organizations, are planning to use advanced technology to stage celestial events in order to manipulate the world's population.

The theory has recently found traction again online as commentators such as Kirk claim that the US government could stage an alien invasion as a pretext for imposing authoritarian rule.

The outlandish theory is among many that have been amplified over the last week in the vacuum of information left in the wake of the Biden administration's failure to tell the public where the drones are coming from or who is behind them.

And Donald Trump called for urgent action yesterday, taking to the Truth Social platform to say: 'Mystery drone sightings all over the country. Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge? I don't think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!'

The sightings started mid-November with footage capturing 'car-sized' drones with flashing lights 

Charlie Kirk, 31, a close advisor to Donald Trump issued a grave warning to the American public as he claims the countrywide drone sightings may be linked to a spine-chilling conspiracy theory

Pentagon Has Clear Image Of Triangle UFO Rising Out Of Ocean, Elizondo Confirmed

The Pentagon reportedly holds a highly classified photograph of a “Black Triangle” UFO emerging from the ocean, taken by a US Navy pilot flying an F/A-18F Super Hornet. The photo’s existence has not been officially confirmed by the Pentagon, but many people believe that it does exist, as they have been told by government insiders. It is thought to be one of the most compelling UFO sightings ever captured on camera and is considered to be highly classified because it was captured using military equipment onboard the fighter plane.

In 2020, during an interview on Coast to Coast AM radio with investigative journalist George Knapp, former AATIP head Luis Elizondo stated that the current UAP Task Force obtained images of multiple unknown aerial objects, including a clear image of a mysterious triangle emerging from the ocean, recorded by military pilots.

The object was described as a large triangle with “blunted” edges and spherical white “lights” on each corner, and the encounter is said to have occurred off the East Coast of the US. The pilots who encountered the object are believed to have been operating from either the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower or the USS John C. Stennis, both of which are Nimitz-class nuclear-powered supercarriers, which further deepens the apparent links between UFOs and man’s nuclear capabilities.

Several officials confirmed the photo’s existence, but they did not provide any further details. The report primarily focused on “Unidentified Submersible Phenomena” or unidentified “transmedium” vehicles that can operate both underwater and in the air. The UAP Task Force appears to be concerned that these objects may originate from within the world’s oceans.

Tom Rogan, a national security writer for the Washington Examiner, verified the existence of the photo with his sources. He believes that the photo is “the tip of the iceberg” and that more UAP imagery and data would be leaked in the coming years. Rogan also called on the Pentagon to officially release more material.

In 2020, The Debrief reported that the Pentagon was investigating the “transmedium” element of the phenomena, which is the apparent ability of some UAPs to transit seamlessly between the air and the ocean.

The idea of “USOs,” or “unidentified submersible objects,” is not exclusive to the current UAP Task Force. In fact, there have been reports of unexplained, very high-speed sonar targets recorded by some of the most sophisticated listening equipment on the planet. A senior member of the intelligence community, whose responsibilities for decades involved underwater surveillance and reconnaissance programs, acknowledged that there are valid claims of extremely fast-moving underwater objects being detected by U.S. military systems.

The UAP Task Force is particularly interested in “transmedium vehicles,” which may seem unusual, but there have been many accounts, some going back centuries, in which people observed unidentifiable craft operating in and out of the water. In public appearances, Marc D’Antonio, an astronomer and chief video/image analyst for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), shared an unusual experience involving the detection of an underwater “Fast Mover,” which occurred while he was sailing as a civilian aboard one of the U.S. Navy’s prized attack submarines.

Tyler Rogoway, a defense journalist, spoke with several veteran submariners who almost unanimously acknowledged that unexplained, very high-speed sonar targets are indeed recorded by some of the most sophisticated listening equipment on the planet. Although there is skepticism about D’Antonio being granted a civilian ride-along, the Navy vets being interviewed confirmed the validity of such claims. The intelligence official declined to provide further details, citing the high levels of security classification associated with underwater reconnaissance.

Andy McGrillen from UAP Media UK, a team set up to campaign for a more open and serious discussion on UFOs in Britain, told The Sun Online that the triangular object was initially tracked underwater, then emerged, climbing to an altitude of 35-40,000 feet when an aircraft’s onboard systems took a high-fidelity image. He thought that something like this would surely be highly classified given the nature of the equipment taking the picture. However, if it did make its way into the public domain, it could be a key piece of evidence, demonstrating that we are truly in the presence of some other intelligence.

Mystery Wire reported that UFO enthusiast Joe Murgia wrote on his Twitter that Knapp asked Elizondo about an alleged triangle UFO coming out of the water, to which Elizondo responded by saying he was confident the photo exists, and it might even be a still frame from a video. Elizondo and Knapp talked about the need for patience when talking about disclosure and the series of high-level briefings that Elizondo took part in. Elizondo praised Florida Senator Marco Rubio for his willingness to talk about UFOs publicly.

Knapp also asked if the UFO mystery can be solved by just looking at military encounters with UFOs or if we need to expand our horizons and look at other topics like poltergeists and Bigfoot that seem to be connected to close encounter cases. Elizondo said the government programs have limitations, such as an inability to speak with commercial pilots about sightings.

When asked if he would consider ever returning to the government to work on the new Unidentified Aerial Phenomena task force (UAPTF), Elizondo said he would have to clear it with his family first. If he did go back, he would try to run it differently than when he ran the AATIP at the Pentagon. Elizondo said he would push for more openness with the public and work to break down the barriers that stigma about UFOs can cause.

“The problem with it is that the government recognizes it. There are some very authentic UAP images. When people say, “Oh, they’re all grainy and blurry,” no, they’re not. There are some that are really clear and are very authentic because we can look at the date and time stamp and the metadata on the video. We can then correlate that to any other type of assets that may be in the area, and we know where it turns out that we’re picking something up that came across, let’s say, the Pacific Ocean. All of a sudden, someone in San Diego says, “I had this really funny light doing these weird things in the backyard,” and all of a sudden, you realize, “Oh, man, they got it on camera.”

Yeah, there are some very, very compelling ones. There’s one, in particular, I probably can’t talk about it, but there’s one of a triangle, and it’s at night, and it’s not just three points of light. I mean, you can see the skin of the aircraft. You can see a lot, and to the point where some of our folks were like, “Well, should we take it off?” No, don’t take it off the internet. Leave it up. That’s not your video to take down. That’s a private citizen’s. Yes, they got a great video of a UAP. Congratulations. You should probably give them an award. Don’t take the video down”

Elizondo said during an interview with Calling All Beings.

Leaked emails from John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, may provide new insight into transmedium UFOs. The emails include a conversation between Podesta and a person named Bob Fish, who claims that the federal government has been collecting data on UFOs since the 1970s, using the Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites. (Click here to read the full article)

Fish shared an incident that happened to him in California, where a USAF official who worked on the program told Fish that there were times when they were diverted from these missions to track UFOs off the east coast of Florida. Fish stated that the UAP entered the atmosphere and descended into the Atlantic Ocean, specifically in an area east of Miami, Florida and north of Bermuda.

The US government has knowledge of some UAPs entering Earth’s orbit from deep space and can actively track them via RF signals emanating from these crafts. The officials realized that if this god-like technology were to be obtained and mastered by their adversaries before the United States, it would make democracy vulnerable.

Additionally, for many years, Bob McGwier worked in clandestine intelligence. He disclosed two incidents about underwater UFOs or USOs, that he saw while performing covert operations. This claim was made several months after a video had been made public by the United States military, in which it appeared to show an unidentified flying object moving from the sky into the water in the year 2019.

'UFO' appears in the sky just weeks after eagle-eyed Aussies spotted unusual 'spaceship' cloud

• READ MORE: What's behind waves of drones appearing in US skies

By BRETT LACKEY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

Australians have looked at the skies around southeast Queensland with awe after a giant UFO appeared in the sky. 

It was, in fact, a storm cell - though images show its uncanny shape that eerily resembles a flying saucer.

'We received several pics of this really cool UFO looking storm this morning. This is a lenticular storm cloud and its not that common to see,' Higgins Storm Chasing wrote to their Facebook page on Thursday morning. 

The weather page explained the cloud formation was a hailstorm that was moving across the Darling Downs towards Oakey and north of Toowoomba around sunrise with the light from the early morning sun  'helping ignite the eastern side of the storm, turning it pink and orange'.

Commenters on the post said the phenomenon was a particularly impressive display from nature and said that 'our sky never fails to be amazing'.

'You can see the ''Beam me up Scotty'' rays,' one said.

'Omg! Thankyou for sharing this storm cell is it so stunning,' said a second.

'Who needs drones and aliens when you can have this in the sky,' added a third.

A hailstorm in southeast Queensland at sunrise on Thursday formed this spectacular cloud formation that some mistook for a 'UFO'

It is actually a lenticular cloud which can often for smooth circular shapes

The spectacular display follows a similar 'spaceship' cloud appearing in Sydney. 

The bizarre natural phenomenon formed over the ocean in Cronulla, in Sydney's southern suburbs, with many sharing snaps and videos of the cloud to social media.

But Weatherzone meteorologist Felix Levesque assured Daily Mail Australia the strange cloud was nothing to be worried about. 

Some guessed the 'spaceship' was a lenticular cloud, which the forecaster said is formed when moist winds are forced over a barrier, such as a mountain. 

'This rising motion over the barrier causes the air to cool and condense into a stationary cloud,' Mr Levesque explained. 

'This stationary cloud will have a smooth oval appearance, hence why it's often mistaken as a UFO.'

Mr Levesque said the Cronulla cloud was in fact a roll cloud, a different species to the lenticular cloud which is caused by a similar process. 

'Roll clouds form when a cooler, denser airmass pushes under another airmass, causing this rising and 'rolling' motion on the leading edge of the airmass – hence the name,' he continued.

Some said they could see the 'beam me up Scotty' rays, referring to Star Trek

Residents of Cronulla in Sydney's south were shocked by the unusual appearance of a cloud formation that resembled a spaceship in December

'Southerly busters, like on Tuesday, can bring roll clouds, and these can occur about three to five times a year in Sydney.'

'A common location for roll clouds is over the Gulf of Carpentaria – so common it's been given the name 'Morning Glory Cloud'', Mr Levesque said.

During a live Fox News broadcast covering the intense Palisades wildfire in California, an unusual event captured viewers' attention. A camera aimed at the blazing inferno recorded a mysterious spherical object emerging suddenly from the middle of the flames. This object moved at a remarkable speed before vanishing over the treetops, leaving many wondering about its origin and purpose. 

The object does not appear to be debris carried aloft by the fire’s updraft. Its trajectory and speed seem too controlled and deliberate to be a random effect of the wildfire. Additionally, the object shows no signs of explosion or disintegration, characteristics that might be expected if it were merely a piece of material affected by the intense heat. 

Observers have ruled out common explanations such as birds, planes, or helicopters. The object’s rapid movement and apparent change in direction suggest advanced maneuverability, sparking comparisons to UFOs/UAPs. 

With the growing number of reported sightings involving drones, orbs, and UFOs, the appearance of this potential UFO or drone in such an environment is especially intriguing. Could this object represent evidence of advanced technology monitoring Earth's natural disasters? Or is it an entirely natural but poorly understood phenomenon?

Danish Police Investigate Mysterious UAP Sighting

“Drone@ Sighting Over Koege Port Amid Global UAP Surge

Koege, Denmark — Danish police are investigating a report of approximately 20 drones spotted over the Koege Marina, southwest of Copenhagen, on Friday night. The incident, which has sparked widespread curiosity and concern, is part of a growing trend of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings across Europe and the United States, including a recent surge in reports from New Jersey.

The Incident: Drones Over Koege

According to Danish police, the incident began when a witness reported seeing a swarm of 20 drones hovering over the Koege Marina. By the time officers arrived, only four large drones remained visible. Witnesses described the drones as moving in a coordinated manner before disappearing into Koege Bay at high speed.

“It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” said Lars Jensen, a local fisherman who observed the event. “They moved too smoothly, too quietly. And then they were gone.”

Police have launched an investigation to determine the origin and purpose of the drones. No permits had been issued for drone flights in the area at the time, raising questions about who was operating the devices and why. Authorities are also exploring potential links to Russian hybrid warfare tactics, given recent reports of similar incidents in other European countries amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Global Context: A Surge in UAP Sightings

The Koege incident is not an isolated event. In recent months, sightings of drones, orbs, and other UAPs have surged worldwide, prompting investigations and speculation.

• Europe: Similar drone swarms have been reported in Sweden, Norway, and Germany, with many incidents linked to suspected Russian activity. Experts warn that these drones could be used for espionage, sabotage, or psychological operations.
• United States: In New Jersey, residents have reported a wave of UAP sightings, including pulsating orbs and darting lights. In December 2024, multiple witnesses in Sussex County described seeing a fleet of glowing orbs hovering over the town of Newton for nearly an hour. Similar events were reported in Princeton and Atlantic City, with some residents capturing footage of the phenomena.
• Global Trends: According to the National UFO Reporting Center, UAP sightings worldwide increased by 40% in 2024, with many reports describing drone-like objects and orbs of light.

Theories and Investigations

The surge in UAP sightings has sparked a range of theories and investigations:

1. Russian Hybrid Warfare: Many experts believe the drones could be part of a Russian hybrid warfare campaign, designed to destabilize Western nations and gather intelligence.
2. Extraterrestrial Activity: Some researchers argue that the objects could be evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, citing their advanced movements and lack of identifiable technology.
3. Advanced Military Technology: Others speculate that the drones could be classified military aircraft developed by the U.S. or other nations.
4. Natural or Man-Made Phenomena: Skeptics suggest that the sightings could be the result of misidentified natural phenomena or experimental civilian drones.

Local Impact: New Jersey’s UAP Hotspot

While the Koege incident has captured international attention, New Jersey has emerged as a hotspot for UAP activity. In recent months, the state has seen a surge in sightings, with residents reporting everything from drones to pulsating orbs.

• Sussex County: In December 2024, residents of Newton reported seeing a fleet of pulsating orbs hovering over the town for nearly an hour.
• Princeton: A group of students at Princeton University captured footage of a darting light that defied explanation.
• Atlantic City: Tourists and locals alike have reported seeing strange lights over the Atlantic Ocean, with some describing the objects as “otherworldly.”

Government Response: Calls for Transparency

The surge in UAP sightings has prompted calls for transparency from governments worldwide. In November 2024, the U.S. Congress held hearings on UAPs, but officials provided few answers. Similarly, European governments have been tight-lipped about the recent drone sightings, fueling speculation and concern.

“We need to know what’s going on,” said Sarah Thompson, a high school teacher in Newton, New Jersey. “If these objects are a threat, we deserve to know.”

Conclusion: A Mystery Unfolding

The Koege drone sighting is just one piece of a larger puzzle—a global mystery that continues to unfold. Whether the objects are drones, extraterrestrial craft, or something else entirely, one thing is clear: the sky is no longer the limit.

As investigations continue, the world waits for answers.

Ancient Egypt’s UFO Mysteries: Ross Coulthart’s Reality Check Investigation

Ross Coulthart, an investigative journalist known for his work on mysterious phenomena, embarked on a fascinating journey through Egypt’s ancient ruins in NewsNation’s Reality Check series. Alongside his friend, lawyer, and researcher JP Hague, Coulthart explored the enduring enigmas of Egypt’s ancient landmarks, raising intriguing questions about advanced technologies, human consciousness, and potential links to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

Ancient Egypt: A Gateway to Advanced Knowledge?

Coulthart and Hague’s expedition took them to Egypt’s most iconic landmarks, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, where they examined evidence of precise engineering that seems beyond the capabilities of the ancient dynastic Egyptians. They marveled at the pyramid’s alignment with astronomical and mathematical constants, such as the speed of light and the precession of the equinoxes, suggesting an advanced understanding of geometry and the cosmos.

JP Hague highlighted the extraordinary level of precision in the pyramid’s construction. For instance, the perfectly level granite slabs beneath the Great Pyramid continue to defy conventional explanations. He theorized that whoever built these structures had access to knowledge and technology far superior to what was thought to exist during that era.

The Unfinished Obelisk: Evidence of Lost Technologies?

In Aswan, Coulthart and Hague visited the site of the unfinished Obelisk, an enormous block of red granite carved directly into bedrock. The tool marks on the granite resembled smooth, scooped shapes, leading Hague to speculate on the use of advanced sonic or acoustic tools capable of vibrating stone into dust. These theories challenge the mainstream view that such objects were fashioned using primitive stone tools.

The logistical challenge of moving and erecting such colossal objects further deepens the mystery. Hague suggested that ancient Egyptians might have employed levitation technologies, as hinted at in depictions on temple walls, such as those in the Temple of Edfu.

Depictions of Advanced Machines and Beings

The exploration also delved into ancient Egyptian art. Coulthart and Hague examined carvings at the Temple of Abydos, where some hieroglyphs resemble modern machinery, including what looks like a helicopter, submarine, and disc-like objects. While conventional Egyptologists attribute these images to overlapping carvings (a process called palimpsest), the resemblance to modern technology fuels speculation about clairvoyance or knowledge of advanced technologies in ancient times.

Moreover, at Edfu Temple, they encountered depictions of temples seemingly being levitated by tall, humanoid figures wielding rods. These images suggest energy-based technologies that might have played a role in constructing Egypt’s monumental structures.

UAPs and Ancient Egypt: A Connection?

JP Hague shared his personal experiences with UAPs and their possible links to human consciousness, proposing that these phenomena might transcend local time and space. He theorized that ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, might have had interactions with non-human intelligences (NHIs) that informed their technological and spiritual advancements.

Hague’s perspective aligns with the esoteric belief that ancient Egyptians encoded knowledge about the cosmos, human consciousness, and energy manipulation in their art and architecture. The Eye of Horus, for instance, bears a striking resemblance to the human pineal gland, often considered the seat of consciousness and intuition.

Why Does It Matter?

The mysteries of ancient Egypt are not just academic. Rediscovering lost technologies and spiritual integration could revolutionize modern society. According to Hague, the Egyptians achieved a remarkable unity between science, spirituality, and practical life, offering a model for harmonious coexistence with nature and the cosmos.

By revisiting these ancient enigmas, Coulthart and Hague argue, humanity might unlock a deeper understanding of consciousness, energy, and the universe. Their journey highlights the importance of keeping an open mind, bridging the gap between science and the mystical, and embracing the possibility of unknown dimensions of human knowledge.

VIDEO:

Ross Coulthart’s exploration of Egypt in Reality Check shines a spotlight on the profound mysteries of ancient civilizations. From the precision of the Great Pyramid to the enigmatic depictions of advanced machines and levitation, these puzzles challenge conventional narratives. Whether through lost knowledge, alien intervention, or untapped human potential, ancient Egypt continues to inspire curiosity and wonder, offering tantalizing clues to humanity’s past and future.

Understanding UFOs: What has to happen in 2025 to move the UAP story forward?

Perhaps humanity is going to be on the receiving end of a shocking revelation that we are accompanied minors in a grown-up universe of intelligent civilizations?

Whatever the case, adult supervision seems advisable. On that pursuit, Space.com asked several leading UFO/UAP experts to look ahead into 2025.

Promising promises

A number of civilian institutions are making promising progress said Mark Rodeghier, president and scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, based in Chicago, Illinois.

What Rodeghier personally hopes to see in 2025 is continued progress with these groups, and others, new people entering the field with expertise and energy, and more development of the academic/professional UFO community.

"All of that will move the story forward, though at a sedate pace," Rodeghier said. To truly make a significant difference — barring some amazing case, or "disclosure" with a capital D, or a detection by SETI researchers of an alien signal — he would like to see:

• NASA take an active role and decide to fund proposals directly on the UAP subject
• Congress mandate funding via, for example, the National Science Foundation, to support research on UAP
• AARO to be more open, within understandable constraints of classification, to releasing their case investigations, and especially, of course, the case investigations for sightings which they cannot resolve.

"I'm not that hopeful, even given good intentions, that more Congressional hearings will be much help, without new whistleblowers with firsthand testimony," continued Rodeghier. "Otherwise, I want Congress to make certain that AARO has the resources required and to conduct thorough oversight of AARO's work," he said.

Hearings, legislation

Next year will see more congressional hearings, possibly additional legislation, and holding the DoD's AARO office publicly accountable, observes Jeff Gould who runs the UAP News Center, an informative website that finds and links to UFO daily news.

"Congress has clearly been deeply interested in the issue in the past three years. I anticipate that they will continue to pursue the UAP topic," said Gould. He expects more former government officials coming forward to speak on the topic.

Wild card ahead?

Gould said the scientific community will advance in two ways.

"There will be increased willingness by the larger scientific community to broach the topic," and anticipates more papers of greater depth going forward. This year, he said, academic papers included a civilian astronomer's guide to UAP research, the commissioning of an all-sky infrared camera array for detection of airborne objects, as well as detecting extraterrestrial life with astophotonics.

Additionally, there are research organizations focused on UAP that will continue to deliver relevant research, Gould said, including Harvard's Galileo Project, Stanford University's Sol Foundation that's a think tank undertaking cutting-edge inquiry into all aspects of UAP, as well as The SETI Institute.

"The wild card is the Trump administration," Gould said. "They seem to have a bias towards declassification. Will they declassify UAP related documents? We'll see," he concluded.

Conspiratorial-driven mythos

In 2025, science needs to get serious about studying UAP, "or we will be stuck at a dead end of the conspiratorial-driven mythos," said Alejandro Rojas, a consultant for Enigma Labs that labels itself as the "#1 destination for UFO sighting alerts."

The newly found credibility of the topic, said Rojas, "has highlighted a blind spot the Pentagon had toward detecting low-tech small craft flying within secured airspace on land and sea."

While concerning, that's a very terrestrial and human problem, Rojas added.

Government conspiracies

"Regarding the anomalous side of the issue, public interest is centered on unsubstantiated claims of government conspiracies regarding aliens and Roswell [New Mexico]. To some, UFO disclosure only means 'tell me what I already know, aliens are here and the government interacts with them.' Opportunists, many of them longtime proponents of alien conspiracies, tell the public what they want to hear sans evidence," said Rojas.

The outcome is that this creates a lot of distrust and foments a hostile attitude towards scientists and those trying to research the topic methodically, Rojas said.

"I think that we will never know what is truly going on until we make a space where we can publicly and transparently engage in and encourage hard data collection from sensor systems and careful scientific analysis of that data," Rojas advised.

Increased transparency and openness

Delving into the topic for 18 years, Robert Powell, executive board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) explains that he's confident about one fact. "The UFO/UAP subject is not hindered by our calendar and will continue to move forward well past the year 2025," he said.

In the coming year, Powell spelled out SCU's agenda, promoting three areas:

• Federal and private investments in unclassified UAP science research by academia and the scientific community. Increased collaboration between scientists, researchers, and government agencies could foster a more rigorous and multidisciplinary approach to the study of UAP. This is an approach that we have never taken since the phenomenon began in 1942.
• Development of advanced UAP detection and sensor technologies. Significant sums of money are needed for the development and the deployment of networked sensor arrays.
• Increased transparency and openness in the study of UAP. We must move away from a military-based study of the phenomenon to a science-based study. The former is controlled by secrecy while the latter depends on openness and collaboration.

First contact

"It matters not whether one believes that UAP are controlled by an advanced intelligence," Powell said. "The more exoplanets we discover, the more we know that someday the time will come when we will make first contact with another intelligence."

Powell said there's need to start now to establish clear definitions of near-Earth technosignatures, communication protocols, and the responsible and ethical sharing of knowledge gained from such contact.

"Furthermore, we must consider who should represent humanity in such a momentous event," Powell observed. "Should it be a nation-state's military organization or an entity that speaks for all of humanity? This is a critical question with far-reaching implications for the future of our species," he said.

Despite the MSM at the moment keeps a low profile in informing the public about the unidentified drones, the 'drone mystery' is still going on with hundreds of drones spotted across the US, especially the eastern United States. 

Check out the size of this high-tech drone, estimated to be around 25-30 feet in length, possibly even larger. It was recently filmed flying low over New Jersey. 

(Watch the video of the craft at the bottom of the article.) 

The mystery surrounding unidentified drones continues to capture attention, particularly across the eastern United States. While mainstream media (MSM) maintains a low profile in reporting on these occurrences, sightings persist, with hundreds of drones reported in various regions. 

Officials have repeatedly assured the public that these drones pose no threat to national security. However, skepticism remains high, as the government has yet to provide a comprehensive explanation, leaving many feeling left in the dark. 

Dr. Steven Greer recently made a prediction during an interview with Newsmax's Rob Finnerty. He claimed that the drone crisis is likely to escalate "within the next 30 days." According to Greer, the notion of a supposed "alien invasion" is a deliberate distraction designed to obscure the true nature of extraterrestrial encounters, which he asserts have been ongoing for decades. This statement has sparked further speculation among those following developments in the UFO community. 

Adding to the anticipation, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has forecasted that 2025 will mark a turning point in public awareness about extraterrestrial matters. Describing the current period as “the calm before the storm,” Coulthart envisions transformative revelations in the coming year. 

Michael Salla, Ph.D., another figure in the disclosure movement, has reported information from a retired U.S. Army serviceman, identified as JP. According to JP, factions within the U.S. military, referred to as "White Hats," along with an international coalition known as the “Earth Alliance,” are preparing to disclose advanced alien technology to the public. This advanced technology, allegedly hidden for decades by shadowy "deep state" organizations and defense contractors, includes three medium-sized cigar-shaped spacecraft and numerous unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) stored in an underground facility in Tampa, Florida. These alleged alien-tech craft are said to possess advanced stealth capabilities, allowing them to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. 

As part of a broader disclosure strategy, the unveiling of these craft is intended to prepare the public for even larger extraterrestrial revelations in the months ahead. 

It seems as two opposing forces are at play: 

• The Deep State: Allegedly leveraging drones and orbs sightings as part of a staged operation to manipulate public perception to fabricate the illusion of an alien invasion in an attempt to hide the real truth about extraterrestrial encounters and maintain the secrecy around covert programs and maintain control over advanced technologies acquired over the past 70 years. 
• The Earth Alliance: Seeking to reveal genuine alien technology obtained from real UFO crashes, confirming the existence of extraterrestrial life and promoting transparency. 

Whether these predictions will materialize remains to be seen, but they have undeniably heightened public interest in what lies ahead.

Another mysterious 'orange UFO orb' was spotted flying over the US, however, this time the inexplicable glow was seen conspicuously hovering over a military base in Tennessee.

An anonymous user on Reddit captured footage of a mystifying 'bright orange light' flying relatively low as it traveled over Fort Campbell - a military base along the Tennessee-Kentucky border - on New Year's Day.

The user, who witnessed the perplexing 'celestial' event alongside their father, who is a seasoned Army veteran, said that they 'couldn't explain' what they were seeing in the skies above.

'My dad, a former soldier with nearly 30 years of Army experience and extensive knowledge of the aircrafts that fly over his house, said he couldn’t explain what he saw - this was unlike anything he’d encountered before,' the post reads.

Around 12:10am on January 1, the Redditor, who was visiting family in a city just outside Nashville,  tried to capture the object 'as quickly as possible,' snapping a near 35-second clip of the glowing orb. 

'Just after midnight, my dad was outside watching fireworks when he noticed a bright orange light flying relatively low and maintaining a steady, consistent speed as it traveled from the northwest - where both Fort Campbell and the local airport are located,' the user claimed.

The curious onlookers were mystified at the unidentified flying object as it did not appear to have any additional lights as they suspect most drones do.  

'My friend, dad, and I watched the object together and were surprised it had no additional lights, as one might expect on a drone,' the post adds.

'Initially, I thought it might be a hobbyist drone capturing footage of the fireworks for the New Year, but the apparent distance it was flying has made me second-guess that assumption.'

Bright high-flying 'orange UFO orbs' have been spotted across the US in recent weeks with the most recent sighting surfacing over New York City.

On December 27, Reddit user @YogurtclosetFlat5701 posted a video of the inexplicable luminous object to the 'The UFOs Subreddit' - a forum for UFO discussions where people can talk about sightings, experiences, news and investigations.

The local recorded the video above Brookville Blvd in Queens, New York, right next to JFK airport. 

'We looked up and there were 4 orange orbs in formation in what is suppose to be a no fly zone they then started to disappear,' the user wrote.

In the video, four unblinking orange orbs are suspended in the air, forming a striking boomerang shape. 

A video was taken from inside the user's car and another from outside the user's car.

'They were moving oddly like not completely stationary and then started to disappear one by one. The 2nd to last one drifted slighting then disappeared. They maintained that formation for the duration of the sighting,' the user said.

Users local to the New York City area also confirmed the traveler's sightings. One, who goes by the username @ZoraOctavia, said they have lived by the airport for over a decade and know the difference between a plane and a UFO.

'Lived here 14 years with planes flying by all day everyday. They fly so low it feels like you can almost touch them. I know what they look like when they come in to land and take off. I have never ever seen anything like this. Ever,' the user said.

Other Redditors deemed the occurrence as highly suspicious and were shocked the government wasn't taking immediate action.

'Seeing as that's a no fly zone, the FAA should be all over that,' said a user.

'This is truly not okay. Can we please start demanding the government gives more a f*** about this?' chimed a third.

Recent reports of strange orbs in the skies above the eastern United States have added another layer of mystery to the ongoing drone sightings across the country. 

A father and son in Georgia experienced an unusual encounter on December 26  when they spotted a bright orange 'UFO orb' moving across the night sky. 

While taking out the trash, the father noticed the glowing object and pointed it out to his son.

A father and son in Georgia followed a mysterious 'orange UFO orb' after they spotted the luminous hue gliding through the sky shortly after 6:30pm on Thursday evening

Earlier this week, another perplexing light was captured hovering over the skies of New Jersey

Intrigued, they watched the orb for several minutes before deciding to film it. 

The father then shared the video on the 'UFO Reddit' forum, seeking explanations for the mysterious phenomenon.

The 58-second video shows the orange orb gliding through the sky, occasionally moving upward or downward. 

As the father followed it, the orb appeared to dim and eventually vanish, leaving him and his son puzzled about its nature.

The father described the initial sighting as a 'huge' light in the distance, which seemed to dim as it approached. He speculated that the orb might have been trying to evade him, or it could have simply disappeared behind clouds.

The video has since garnered significant attention on Reddit, with over 2,000 shares and 500 comments from users discussing the unusual sighting.

Just days prior, a perplexing light was captured hovering over New Jersey skies. 

Video footage from near Atlantic City shows a white light blinking before suddenly accelerating away at incredible speeds, leaving observers stunned.

These recent events follow a report from a US military witness who experienced a close encounter with a silent, luminous object while camping in October. 

The witness described the object as hovering 100 yards above, illuminating the area brighter than any full moon.

These sightings, along with others reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), continue to fuel public interest and speculation about the nature of these unidentified aerial phenomena.

A video taken by an airline passenger reportedly during a commercial flight over the UK shows what seem to be two figures standing on a layer of clouds. 

The intriguing footage has sparked a wave of speculation online. While some viewers suggest the figures could be supernatural beings, closer analysis of the footage reveals additional shapes emerging through the clouds as the camera pans from left to right, image below.

This has led others to theorize that the "figures" might actually be exhaust stacks or other tall structures releasing steam, breaking through a fog layer and creating an illusion of human-like forms. 

Are these figures, or something else ?

Rather than supernatural entities, the phenomenon is more likely an example of pareidolia, a psychological tendency to perceive familiar shapes, such as faces or figures, in random patterns.
