AI Repairs Three UFO Photos Over Iraq, Iceland, Hungary, UAP Sighting News. In 4k HD.

1st: Bagdad, Iraq May 2006 

2nd: Lyngdalsheidi, Iceland March 29, 2003 

3rd: Budapest, Hungary Sept 29, 2001

Hey all, I wanted to run three more UFO sighting photos through the ai today and what I saw was only more bewildering. Are we looking at top secret military craft, alien craft or an anomaly of illusion? For me, I feel that all these are 100% alien craft, however I am not forcing my opinion on anyone, but only giving my own. Two of the photos are from the middle east where there is and was military conflict, which aliens would defiantly want to record.

EXCLUSIVE - Police across US given new UFO handbook as they warn craft 'pose significant safety risks'

• READ MORE Cops install cameras where locals 'saw 10ft aliens' 

By Rob Waugh For Dailymail.Com

Police chiefs of America's largest cities have published the first guide about UAPs, which details chilling encounters and how officers can report such incidents.

The 11-page document warned that unidentified flying objects 'pose significant safety risks to law enforcement air support units,' urging teams to be vigilant when in helicopters.

The report also highlights stories from officers who claimed to confront UFOs, specifically one in 2023 where a law employee saw a 'triangle craft with green lights gliding through the sky' before a local resident said something 'ran' nearb

The police executives created the reference because 'it's in the interest of law enforcement to be aware of trends and reporting on UAP due to the unknown threat they may pose.'

A Las Vegas police officer appeared to capture a UFO on his bodycam

The organization, called the Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA), includes nearly 80 executives from major US cities who work together to advance public safety through a range of initiatives, including community outreach, research and policy development and now, UFO investigations. 

The guide, released in June, also includes details from America's investigations into UFO encounters, as well as the testimony of 'whistleblowers' such as former United States Air Force officer and intelligence official David Grusch.

One article shared the US Congress UAP hearing held in 2023, which saw Grusch testify about his knowledge about aircraft with 'nonhuman' origins.

The report provided other articles about the US government and its potential link to alien life. 

A section includes links to various UAP reporting websites, urging officers to report  any bizarre sightings. 

More interesting, the pages detail first-person stories from police officers who encountered unknown spacecraft while out in the field.  

An officer patrolling  Blairsville, Georgia in November 2023 claimed to have witnessed green lights in the sky. 

'I am a police officer and deputy sheriff. While on duty after dark, near the top of my windshield (frame of view) I witnessed movement in the sky (southbound direction of view),' the officer's report stated.

'Upon concentrating my focus, viewing through the low light, I was able to make out a triangle craft, with 3 dim green lights per side (just bright enough to assess size, shape, and movement).'

The officer said he lost sight of the craft quickly due to trees, and was unable to hear anything due to being inside his vehicle.

The report described UAPs as a potential danger to police pilots (Major Cities Chiefs Association)

The report cites the testimony of 'whistleblowers' such as former United States Air Force (USAF) officer and intelligence official David Grusch

'I am privy to what helicopters and airplanes look like in the sky, frequently working alongside medical flight crews in the area, and where nearby airports are, making me somewhat familiar with common areas of the sky in which low air travel is common. This was unlike anything I had ever witnessed,' he said.

Within an hour of the sighting, the officer responded to a call from a homeowner in the same direction the object was traveling, reporting 'something running outside of his home… which did not sound like an animal.'

Another encounter happened in Harper Woods, Michigan in 2020, which included two officers who witnessed three mysterious objects in the sky - before they 'blinked out' of existence.

The officer wrote: 'At approximately 6:00am, myself and a fellow officer were standing in a parking lot of a church talking before the end of our shift. 

'I was looking towards the southwest at the moon when I glanced towards the southeast. I saw 3 objects in the southeast sky and pointed towards them.

The guide details police encounters with UFOs

'The objects appeared to drift towards the east, maintaining the equal distance. As we watched the objects, they appeared to 'blink out' of our vision.'

Other reports in the guide recount civilian sightings of police helicopters allegedly pursuing UFOs.

In one encounter in Austin, Texas, a civilian wrote: 'When I walked out front door, saw Triangle Craft - with white lights illuminated on each corner - being closely followed by police helicopter - traveling south - near 620 freeway.

'Thought I was seeing things - but checked again - and was not. Hoping that others may corroborate.'

Another incident occurred in Winnipeg, Canada, where a civilian reported seeing a police helicopter being chased by unknown craft.

'While sitting in my hot tub in my back yard, I heard the familiar sound of the police chopper passing over the city. after it passed over our house, it made a few circles to the south of our location and after a few course adjustments, headed north at a higher rate of speed,' reads the statement.

'About 10 seconds later, 2 lights with the same relative brightness of the background stars traveled parallel and at a constant rate of speed.'

Nigel Watson, author of 'Captured by Aliens? A History and Analysis of American Abduction Claims' told DailyMail.com that the guide is 'very handy' for law enforcement officers.

'The short history of the study of UAPs and the links to organizations where sightings can be reported is very helpful,' he said.

'For me the references to the ex-government 'whistleblowers' David Grusch and Luis Elizondo is superfluous as they have only repeated rumors that have circulated for years without any substantial evidence.

'Although it notes numerous official studies, it does not mention the fact that the US Project Bluebook closed due to their finding such research is of no scientific value. Other projects have also found it very difficult to uncover any real evidence of non-terrestrial craft.

'The guide also lacks any references to skeptical websites and blogs that would give a more balanced view of the subject and counteract the wilder stories, like the alleged Roswell crash of 1947.

'Certainly there is now a case to be made that terrestrial UAPs do pose a threat to air safety and national security, but as with this guide, it gets mixed with the science fiction rumors of remarkable non-terrestrial vehicles that have little credibility.'

• READ MORE: NASA addresses origins of 'furry UFO' that flew over North Carolina

By Alex Hammer For Dailymail.Com

A man in small-town Montana has captured footage of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) and shared the shocking video that made his wife 'cry' on Reddit.

The video was recorded on Friday between 10:10 and 10:15 pm, and showed what appears to be a blinking craft streaking across the clear night sky.

Said to have been spinning and adorned with a series of rotating lights, the apparent object flew over tiny Choteau, home to a population of just over 1,700 people.

The videos, along with the original poster's in-depth account of the sighting, reveals how the man and his wife first mistook the unknown object for a meteor. 

It comes after Montana was singled out as a hotspot for UFO sightings, with visitors recording some of the most significant and well-documented footage. 

A man in small-town Montana has captured footage of an Unidentified Flying Object. Filmed Friday between 10:10 and 10:15 pm, the video seemingly shows a blinking craft streaking across the sky

Said to have been spinning and adorned with a series of rotating lights, the apparent aircraft flew over tiny Choteau

'On Friday night my wife and I were sitting on the deck out back looking at the stars - we do this every night,' wrote the unnamed poster, who goes by the user name PoneThePoon.

'Just after 10pm my wife said "is that a shooting star??", which I found odd, because if it was I wouldn't have time to look at it. 

'The tree near me was blocking the direction she was staring so I got up and looked, and my jaw dropped,' he continued. 

'I said 'Holy s**t. Holy s**t!!' and we both jumped off of the deck and got into the yard for a better view.'

Three separate clips show a light in the distance that appeared to be rotating in mid-air and the edge of what appeared to be a craft.

The town is sparsely populated, with a population of just over 1,700, and boasts an exceedingly clear sky

The sight, he said, left his spouse in tears after it lingered for a few minutes before flying away.

'The craft seemed huge, miles away,' he recalled - adding how it had several blinking and spinning lights, and a rotating orange-red light on the bottom. 

'You can only see the orange/red light in the video,' he explained, revealing, 'We observed it for 2-3 minutes as it continued flying away, and then it was just gone. 

'No noise, it was just gone.'

He also recalled how once the photos and video were secured on his wife's Galaxy Fold 4, he tried to do the same on his Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

However, he said, the phone 'died right in front of my eyes'.

The man who filmed the clips posted them to Reddit, and was soon met with awe

Rushing to retrieve his charger, he continued to use his wife's phone to take 'tons of various zoomed photos and videos,' he recalled.  

'What I have here is the best that came out of all that, this thing was really far away for a night time phone shot, so I'm pleased with what we did get.'

Speaking about the possibility that the craft was an Elon Musk-made satellite, he said: 'I don't believe this was Starlink.'

'I've watched a ton of Starlink videos since observing this, and our lights were rotating/blinking, not a static line of unchanging lights.

'After we got inside to see what we actually captured, my wife was shaking and crying from the experience,' he concluded.

'It was kind of scary, I couldn't fall asleep until 4am and it was my night to do the early feed for our twin boys.'

The Reddit post was soon met with awe by commenters.

Pictured: The Rocky Mountain range just outside of Choteau

'Really cool footage. Good explanation too,' wrote viewer impressed by the post.

'Kudos. Now don't let them disappear into the abyss. Good footage has a way of inexplicably going missing,' the person added.

'Download it, keep copies,' another chimed in, as the post received more than 3,200 upvotes in less than a day.

'This could have been the best UFO video ever if the sky was just a little bit lighter,' added a third top commenter. 'Frustrating, but definitely interesting.' 

After asking what others thought of the sighting, most appeared to be at least be open to the idea the craft being something that cannot be explained.

'Awesome!' one such commenter wrote on Monday, as the post was bombarded with a bevy of replies.

As of writing, the origins and nature of the aircraft in the sparsely populated remained unknown. No other reports of the sighting have surfaced

'You should download the app Phenom and post this there!' the person added. 'It cant be taken down by anyone online or banned... This is great footage.'

The origins and nature of the apparent craft remain unknown. No other reports of the sighting have surfaced.

Montana has emerged in recent years as a hotspot for UFO activity, potentially due to the state's sparse population and roaming, vacant plains.

In 1950, two spinning disks seemingly flew over Great Falls and were captured on a hand-held camera - yielding clips that continue to defy conventional explanation to this day 

In the '60s, apparent UFOs were seen over the Minuteman missile silos - then home to a vast arsenal of nuclear missiles in the midst of the Great Plains.  

In separate incidents that occurred while the alleged UFO hung overhead, a series of armed and ready nuclear missiles were suddenly deactivated - leaving missile launch officers at a loss. 

The US Air Force allegedly ordered these men never to tell anyone what happened, books like Joan Bird's Montana UFO's and Extraterrestrials have claimed.

The account examines such events and why they occur in the state, with many reports remaining unexplained in both government and private circles.

UFO Or Cross-Sign? Mysterious Object Spotted Flying Over California's Skies

The footage circulating on social media captures an unidentified object resembling a human figure in the air moving slowly.

Many believe that the object could be a hologram of Jesus.

(Photo Credits: Instagram)

Over the past few months, the USA has witnessed numerous UFO sightings, which has started debates about their origin, whether they’re extra-terrestrial or human-made objects. Recently, another intriguing video was shared online, which was reportedly filmed above Sequoia Park in California. The footage circulating on social media captures an unidentified object resembling a human figure in the air moving slowly and the video has caught attention of viewers worldwide. The person behind the camera speculates that it could be a person, while social media users believe that the object could be a hologram of Jesus, others feel it’s indeed a UFO, while few claim it’s the controversial Project Blue Beam.

For those not aware, Project Blue Beam is a controversial project which is used to manipulate for undisclosed purposes. Meanwhile, the individual recording the video claimed, “It has something on its side, it looks like a person with his arms sticking out. It looks like a person almost. It appears like a person but it’s an anomaly.” Sharing the video on Instagram, the page wrote, “Spotted in the skies over Sequoia Park, California.”

After the user posted the video on Instagram, it quickly went viral and garnered over 50,000 views. Social media users are sharing mixed reactions to the footage. While some made jokes about the mysterious object, others believe it may be part of a secret government project.

Reacting to the clip, a user wrote, “Are they trying to create hologram Jesus for the masses?”

Another shared, “Remember people fake alien invasion is on the list and has been for a long time.”

An individual suggested, “Large satellite balloon. Probably years old that’s all tangled by winds and it’s malfunctioning. That’s all folks.”

“Project blue beam,” a comment read.

Another wrote, “Probably someone’s helium balloon from a bachelorette party.”

One more joked, “It looks like a dancing astronaut.”

Interestingly, a similar video was recorded seven years ago in November 2016 and was posted on YouTube by a channel named Jay C Aerial Anomali. The creator, Jonathan Castro, shared the footage, stating, “I summoned and captured this one in front of my house back in August of this year. Decided to motion track and zoom this a little for a better close-up.” Surprisingly, Castro has shared numerous such videos on his channel and claimed that most of them were visible ‘interdimensional beings’ captured from his house. However, these claims have not yet been verified.

There is DVD of US Intelligence Members Communicating with Extraterrestrials, Former US Military Claims

Former US intelligence officer David Grusch testified before Congress during the July 2023 UAP hearing, stating that we have numerous spacecraft of non-human origin. If this is the case, one might wonder if any contact has been established between humans and these extraterrestrial species. There have been persistent rumors suggesting that the US government may have signed treaties with these extraterrestrials and has been engaged in collaborative efforts with them over an extended period.

According to a rather extraordinary claim made by former US government consultant Timothy Good, it is alleged that the 34th President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, had three clandestine meetings with extraterrestrials. Good claimed Eisenhower met aliens at a remote air base in New Mexico in 1954. In more recent times, former Israeli Space Head Haim Eshed stated that aliens and the U.S. government had reached some type of deal to stay quiet about their experiments on Earth and secret facilities on Mars. Eshed went on to claim the existence of a “Galactic Federation” and implied that then-President Trump was on the brink of making significant revelations in this regard.

Video Evidence

During a podcast with former Fox News anchor Clayton Morris on his show Redacted, Joshua Reid, a former United States Navy serviceman with a background in missile weapons defense systems, brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. He opened the conversation by referencing his personal experiences in the Navy, specifically during the years 2004 to 2006. Reid’s background made him intimately familiar with topics related to secret space projects, a subject that has piqued his interest for over two and a half decades.

It is worth noting that Joshua Reid’s extensive research in the field of UAPs and classified information has led him to the inner workings of certain government activities. His extensive four-year investigation revealed a disconcerting pattern. It appeared that military technology, particularly in special access programs, was unintentionally making its way to foreign adversaries, including China. This exchange of classified information seemed to involve universities and professors who were receiving grants to reverse engineer technologies from these programs.

The remarkable twist in this story was that Hillary Clinton’s emails were potentially facilitating the sale of this classified information to China and other foreign entities. China would fund universities, enticing professors to divulge information on special access programs. This enabled them to advance their technology rapidly, potentially reaching parity with the United States.

Former Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III, well-versed in these special access programs, played a crucial role in this unfolding drama. He represented David Grusch and became a central figure in the whistleblower saga. According to Reid, multiple whistleblowers were involved, with two possessing firsthand information and tangible evidence. The fear of repercussions led these individuals to testify in front of congressmen, notably, Indiana Congressman André Carson. However, it was not until these whistleblowers presented  video evidence of intelligence community members  communicating with extraterrestrials that congressmen took their claims seriously.

The impact of these videos was profound. Congressmen were visibly shaken, with one trembling and another drinking water profusely. This sudden shift in demeanor signified that the evidence was both extraordinary and unsettling. The whistleblowers were introduced to Inspector General McCullough, who had an extensive background in the very special access programs at the center of the controversy.

“I’ve heard that we can confirm this later, but from what I’m hearing, André Carson is this Congressman that they testified in front of, along with a few others. The Congressman didn’t take these guys seriously, but what ended up happening is they pulled out the evidence, a DVD, and they showed these congressmen video evidence of intelligence community members communicating with extraterrestrials. After these videos were shown to congressmen, they were noticeably shaken in fear. One of them was holding a piece of paper and could not stop shaking. Another was drinking water profusely, and this is when they began to take this very, very seriously and introduce these gentlemen to the former Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, McCullough. Hence, he enters the picture as someone who understands these SAP programs, has been read into these programs from back in the day, and is now representing these gentlemen.”

Morris was eager to learn more about the DVDs and the physical evidence related to the astounding claims made by the whistleblowers. He posed the question of where this evidence was currently held and whether the public would ever have the opportunity to view it.

Joshua Reid responded by revealing that the evidence, in the form of DVDs and other materials, was regarded as an “insurance policy.” This meant that the evidence was securely in the hands of two prominent UFO researchers. Furthermore, Reid confirmed that these researchers had not only seen the evidence but also verified its authenticity, which was a significant factor contributing to the growing interest in this matter.

Furthermore, Reid confirmed that these researchers had not only seen the evidence but also verified its authenticity, which was a significant factor contributing to the growing interest in this matter.

One of the prominent UFO researchers who has been sharing insider knowledge on UAPs is investigative journalist Ross Coulthart. It is quite uncertain if Coulthart possesses this DVD evidence but he did reveal that there exists a huge UFO in the possession of the United States that cannot be moved, and he knows the location of the craft. Ross mentioned the existence of non-human intelligence engaging with Earth for a long time and the recovery of certain objects, but he could not disclose specific details due to concerns about revealing advanced technologies.

In a recent episode of “The UFO Podcast,” host Andy engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Ross. The discussion centered around the secrecy surrounding UFO sightings and government knowledge. Ross, who has deep insights into the matter, shared his perspective on why certain details remain undisclosed.

Andy began by addressing a critical question that has been on the minds of many UFO enthusiasts: the location of the mysterious craft. He asked Ross whether he could reveal where the craft was being held.

Ross responded: “Let me tell you, I can’t tell you the country it’s in; it’s not America. But what I can tell you is that the place where it is kept is used for another purpose that is a laudatory purpose that’s as much in your interests in your country in the UK as it is in mine in Australia and as it is in America. The simple reasons are that there are other uses for the place where this object is stored, and we could end up with a storm Area 51-type scenario if you came out and announced it.”

Ross went on to explain the potential consequences of revealing such information, including international incidents and threats to the safety of personnel at the facilities. He also emphasized the importance of protecting sources, drawing on his experience as a journalist dealing with sensitive intelligence.

Interestingly, Steve Sprague, a UFO researcher who studied the UAP phenomenon for 30 years, claimed that an aerospace executive would come forward and share the information during the July 2023 Congressional Hearing on UAPs. This unidentified insider is described as a C-level executive within the United States-based company, which, according to Sprague, is a top firm reverse-engineering alien technology.

According to the insider, aliens not only exist but have been present on Earth for at least five millennia, if not longer. Startlingly, the individual revealed the existence of at least two civilizations currently residing on our planet: humans and a group known as the “Ganzi,” originating from a distant part of our galaxy, roughly forty light years away. The Ganzi are characterized as technologically advanced beings who possess knowledge far surpassing humanity’s capabilities.

The insider also touched upon significant presidential briefings that have taken place, shedding light on the United States government’s awareness of these developments. On various occasions, President Biden was reportedly briefed on advanced technologies recovered from the Ganzi. The briefings included demonstrations of lasers capable of remarkable feats, such as extracting elements directly from ore and analyzing biological and geological data.

 Videos of these briefings purportedly exist, with one showing Biden interacting with three Ganzi beings through a small device placed in his ear. Notably, one of the individuals accompanying the beings was John Podesta, who later assumed the role of Senior Advisor for Clean Energy Innovation. The insider also linked breakthroughs in fusion energy and laser technology to the company’s efforts in reverse-engineering Ganzi technology.

Sprague wrote,

“Date 4 – May 19, 2022, Biden is now in Alaska and stopped off to refuel at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. This  video is the most incredible of all. Biden meets with three of the Ganzi. Biden puts a small device in his ear and a conversation occurs without sound. The video lasts for nine minutes and then four people enter the area. One of the people is John Podesta. The other three are unknown. The beings leave and the video ends. In September of 2022, Biden names Podesta as the Senior Advisor for Clean Energy Innovation. December 14, 2022, America has a breakthrough in fusion. To achieve this scientific feat – a laser is used. This laser has ‘unique’ properties.” (Source)

Sprague’s claims cannot be verified; however, it is certain that there exists an alien craft, and the United States has successfully accessed its interior. Dr. James Lacatski, a retired DIA intelligence officer who established the UFO program that operated from 2008 to 2010, has confirmed this. He stated that the craft possesses a streamlined configuration suitable for aerodynamic flight but lacks conventional features such as an engine, wings, intakes, exhaust, or fuel tanks.

Police across US given new UFO handbook as they ‘pose significant safety risks’

Lucia Botfield

Police across America have published the first guide on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena – the new name for UFOs -which details encounters between suspected encounters, and how these incidents should be reported.

The report, which is 11 pages long, warns officers of the ‘significant safety risks to law enforcement air support units’ the unidentified flying objects pose, and urge them to be vigilant when travelling in helicopters.

Officers’ stories of UFO confrontations are also included, with one in 2023 where a law employee saw a ‘trangle craft with green lights gliding through the sky’ before a local resident said something ‘ran’ nearby, the Mail Online reports.

The document has been created by police executive as ‘it’s in the interest of law enforcement to be aware of trends and reporting on UAP due to the unknown threat they may pose.’

The organisation, which goes by the name ‘Major Cities Chiefs Association’ or MCCA for short, includes 80 executives from major US cities that work together through community outreach, research and policy development, and more recently, UFO investigations.

Last month, Indian aerospace engineer S. Somanath said there are ‘definitely aliens out there in the universe.’

When asked if life exists in the cosmos, Somanath, who has led the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) since 2022 said: ‘Absolutely, without a doubt. My conscience tells me yes, although I have no proof. As the chairman of ISRO, I am telling you this.’

And Somanath isn’t the only one who believes we are not alone in the universe.

An officer in Blairsville, Georgia, claims to have seen ‘green lights’ in the sky when patrolling in November 2023.

‘I am a police officer and deputy sheriff. While on duty after dark, near the top of my windshield (frame of view) I witnessed movement in the sky (southbound direction of view),’ the officer said in their report.

‘Upon concentrating my focus, viewing through the low light, I was able to make out a triangle craft, with 3 dim green lights per side (just bright enough to assess size, shape, and movement).’

He then lost sight of the craft as it went behind the trees, and because he was inside his vehicle he couldn’t hear anything.

‘I am privy to what helicopters and airplanes look like in the sky, frequently working alongside medical flight crews in the area, and where nearby airports are, making me somewhat familiar with common areas of the sky in which low air travel is common. This was unlike anything I had ever witnessed,’ he continued.

The officer then responded to a call from a resident who had heard something running outside of his home… which did not sound like an animal,’ in the same direction the unidentified object was travelling in.

The new UAP guide will be ‘very handy’ for law enforcement officers, author of Captured by Aliens? A History and Analysis of American Abduction Claims’ Nigel Watson told the Mail Online.

‘The short history of the study of UAPs and the links to organizations where sightings can be reported is very helpful. For me the references to the ex-government ‘whistleblowers’ David Grusch and Luis Elizondo is superfluous as they have only repeated rumors that have circulated for years without any substantial evidence.

‘The guide also lacks any references to skeptical websites and blogs that would give a more balanced view of the subject and counteract the wilder stories, like the alleged Roswell crash of 1947.

‘Certainly there is now a case to be made that terrestrial UAPs do pose a threat to air safety and national security, but as with this guide, it gets mixed with the science fiction rumors of remarkable non-terrestrial vehicles that have little credibility.’

Unidentified Flying Object spotted in Yorkshire Dales

By Andrew Robinson

Mystery objected spotted near Whernside in the Yorkshire Dales 

(Image: North Yorkshire Weather Updates/Facebook)

Observers were left puzzled after spotting a strange unidentified object floating above Whernside, one of Yorkshire's Three Peaks mountains.

The object was reportedly spotted on Saturday afternoon, with photographs taken by at least two people on the ground who were left scratching their heads about what it might be. The area in the Yorkshire Dales is often swarming with Three Peaks walkers heading up or off Whernside which stands at 736m (2,415ft).

The images were shared on the North Yorkshire Weather Updates page on Facebook, prompting a number of fanciful explanations, and a few plausible ones.

Someone said it looked a bit like the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek. Other explanations included a puff of smoke from a steam train, an afterburn trail from a jet, and a weather balloon.

Several people suggested it was possibly a swarm of bees, flying ants or midges, or maybe even starlings. One man said it resembled a 'mosquito ball' as he'd seen similar sights before.

Quite a number of people posted gifs of various spaceships, aliens, Martians, extra terrestrials, or references to War of the Worlds. Some suggested it was a 'dirty lens' on the camera but two separate photos emerged which suggested this was unlikely.

One man wrote: "The tent from Leeds Festival a couple of weeks ago, still flying...."

Unveiling Area 51: Secrets of Highly Advanced Flying Machines

Area 51, shrouded in mystery and speculation for decades, has been a focal point for conspiracy theorists and researchers alike. Located in the Nevada desert, this top-secret military base has been linked to UFO sightings, advanced aircraft testing, and extraterrestrial research. One of the most intriguing discussions surrounding Area 51 involves the development and testing of highly advanced flying machines, possibly of extraterrestrial origin or utilizing exotic technologies far beyond what is publicly known.

The Enigma of Area 51

Originally established as a test site for experimental aircraft, Area 51 gained notoriety in the 1980s when former government employees and whistleblowers like Bob Lazar began sharing their experiences. Lazar claimed to have worked on reverse-engineering extraterrestrial spacecraft at a facility near Area 51, known as S-4. His revelations about saucer-like crafts, advanced propulsion systems, and otherworldly materials fueled widespread speculation about the true purpose of this remote base.

Investigative journalist Norio Hayakawa, a leading figure in the civilian intelligence community, has also delved deeply into the mysteries surrounding Area 51. In various interviews, Hayakawa shared his experiences of being harassed by military helicopters and local authorities during expeditions to the perimeters of the base. These encounters added to the secrecy and fear that surround any attempt to uncover the truth about what happens within Area 51’s boundaries.

Secret Aircraft and Advanced Technologies

Area 51 is widely believed to be a hub for the development and testing of experimental military aircraft. Hayakawa and others claim that the base is home to exotic technologies, including advanced propulsion systems far beyond conventional understanding. According to Hayakawa, the aircraft being tested at Area 51 and other secret facilities may include pulse-detonation propulsion systems, and potentially even more revolutionary technologies that defy traditional aerodynamics.

These crafts have been described as exhibiting movements that conventional aircraft cannot achieve, such as rapid changes in direction, sudden accelerations, and near-instantaneous stops. Witnesses have reported seeing triangular and disc-shaped objects performing these maneuvers in the skies above the Nevada desert. While many assume these are top-secret military projects, others believe that some of the technology may be of extraterrestrial origin.

The Department of Defense has appointed a new director to lead the AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office), which is responsible for investigating UFOs and UAPs. The choice of Dr. Jon T. Kosloski, a former NSA scientist, is notable. According to USAF whistleblower Dan Sherman, the NSA has been involved in tracking UFO and non-human intelligence (NHI) activity for decades. Additionally, there are claims that the NSA manages interstellar trade operations from a base in Antarctica. 

Kosloski replaces Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the inaugural director of AARO, who faced criticism during his tenure. Many believed Kirkpatrick did little to support whistleblowers, hindering efforts to reveal critical information about UFOs and related phenomena. 

One of the intriguing aspects of this story is the alleged NSA connection to Antarctica. 

Eric Hecker a Raytheon contractor who worked at the Ice Cube Neutrino observatory at Antarctica from 2010-2011 said that this observatory constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica is a huge air traffic control power station that monitors all interstellar craft that be operated by humans as well as non-humans. 

The observatory is not the only station that tracks interstellar craft, reports from whistleblowers over the years have hinted at the presence of a vast underground military complex in the area. Allegedly, the NSA operates an office there, which also is involved in monitoring interstellar activity, possibly utilizing the Ice Cube Neutrino Observatory's facilities. In addition, this office is reportedly engaged in interstellar trade. According to Navy whistleblowers, the office is managed from the NSA headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, specifically on the sixth floor. 

It may sound fantastical, but the NSA has been tracking UFO activity since its inception in 1952. The agency is believed to have developed capabilities to detect UFOs anywhere on Earth but keep quiet about it. 

Now, as we look to the future, institutions that shape national security believe the U.S. needs to prepare the public for disclosure, as humanity's future may lie in space. Advanced propulsion systems, including anti-gravity and torsion field technologies, are being developed to construct fleets of spacecraft that can keep pace with extraterrestrial civilizations. 

Furthermore, there is a large spaceport in Alabama, near the caverns around Huntsville, where pilots from around 30 nations are reportedly being trained to fly interstellar craft  under supervision of a group of extraterrestrials known as the Nordics. It is said that this underground facility already houses hundreds of these craft.

Despite the ongoing UFO cover-up, with Dr. Kosloski now leading AARO, there is hope that in particular the NSA’s involvement in these operations will become more transparent and that further revelations may follow.

UAP Crash Retrievals and Military Secrecy: Uncovering Hidden UFO Encounters

In the field of UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) research, UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) crash retrievals have long been a subject of fascination and controversy. On the Richard Dolan Show, renowned historian and researcher Richard Dolan sat down with aviation and UFO historian Michael Schratt to delve into some of the most intriguing cases surrounding UAP crash retrievals, alien bodies, and the deep-seated secrecy that surrounds them. Schratt, known for his extensive research and detailed illustrations of UFO encounters, provided a comprehensive overview of several key incidents, offering new perspectives and insights into this enigmatic topic.

Danny Sheehan and Classified UFO Photos

One of the highlights of the conversation is a story from Danny Sheehan, a well-known advocate for UFO disclosure. In 1977, Sheehan was granted a rare opportunity to view classified documents and photographs at the Library of Congress. These images, which were not part of the publicly known Project Blue Book files, reportedly depicted a UFO crash retrieval. The craft was approximately 30 feet in diameter, tipped at a 30-degree angle, and featured strange hieroglyphic inscriptions around the bottom of its dome.

Sheehan described the scene, which included four men in winter parkas documenting the crash with cameras. Schratt and his team, using Sheehan’s description, created detailed renderings of the craft and its surroundings. This case underscores the potential existence of classified UFO crash retrievals and the involvement of the U.S. government in recovering extraterrestrial technology and bodies.

Corpus Christi USO Sighting (1997)

Schratt also discussed a fascinating USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) sighting off the coast of Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1997. In this case, over 250 people aboard an offshore drilling platform witnessed a massive, cigar-shaped craft rise from the ocean. The object, described as twice the size of a football field, hovered silently above the platform and was surrounded by 25 military helicopters. Despite the presence of helicopters, the noise emanated from the craft itself, not the aircraft. The sighting left many witnesses in awe, and Schratt’s illustration of the event vividly captured the sheer scale and mystery of the craft.

USS Nimitz Encounter (1991)

Another remarkable case involved a 1991 encounter near the USS Nimitz, a well-known aircraft carrier. According to Kevin Thomas, a Navy combat photographer, the ship was ordered to “darken ship” (turn off all lights), and as he found himself locked outside, he witnessed an enormous black triangular UFO rise from the ocean. The object, larger than the Nimitz itself (which is 1,092 feet long), hovered near the carrier for a minute before shooting off into space. This encounter bears striking similarities to the 2004 USS Nimitz UAP incident, raising questions about the U.S. military’s ongoing involvement and knowledge of these phenomena.

Great Lakes Naval Training Center Crash (1973)

Schratt also recounted a lesser-known crash retrieval case from 1973 at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. A Gunnery School instructor reportedly delivered a high-level letter inside a Quonset hut, where he saw a teardrop-shaped UFO propped up on a pedestal. The craft, about 35 feet wide and 12 feet high, exhibited a blue coronal discharge and had a distinctive ridge along its body. Remarkably, a sailor the witness met prior to the incident had mentioned that a UFO had been shot down and recovered by Howard Hughes’ Glomar Explorer, a ship that was officially used to retrieve a Soviet submarine during the Cold War. This connection between the Glomar Explorer and UFO recovery operations suggests a potential dual-use for the vessel, hinting at the broader military-industrial complex’s role in UFO retrievals.

Black Projects at Air Force Plant 42

One of the most intriguing stories Schratt shared came from an employee at Air Force Plant 42, a facility known for its development of advanced aerospace technology. In 1993, the employee witnessed a highly unusual event: a black, disc-shaped object about 100 feet in diameter was lowered into a hanger using a perimeter of boom lifts that created a makeshift screen. Schratt’s illustrations brought this clandestine operation to life, raising questions about the nature of these black projects and the technology involved. Two weeks later, the witness saw the same object being raised from the hanger and then shooting off into the sky, leading to speculation that the U.S. military had made significant breakthroughs in advanced propulsion technology as early as the 1990s.

X-ray Technician’s Encounter (1963)

Another compelling account comes from an X-ray technician in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, in 1963. The technician responded to an emergency call and arrived at the scene of a crash, where she saw three small, humanoid bodies lying on the ground. They were described as being about three feet tall and appeared to be deceased. Shortly after the bodies were brought to a local hospital for examination, the U.S. Air Force arrived, confiscated all evidence, and ordered everyone involved to remain silent. This case, documented in Ryan Wood’s book Magic Eyes Only, offers yet another example of the government’s swift intervention in UFO-related incidents.

The Secrecy Surrounding UFOs and Crash Retrievals

Throughout the discussion, both Dolan and Schratt emphasized the overwhelming secrecy that surrounds UFO crash retrievals and the lengths to which the military-industrial complex goes to keep these operations hidden. They pointed out that there are likely multiple warehouses across the U.S. where photographs, motion picture film reels, and physical evidence of extraterrestrial craft and bodies are stored. Schratt speculated that facilities like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Edwards North Base Complex house some of these materials, and he stressed the need for genuine Congressional hearings to bring this information to light.

Michael Schratt’s extensive research into UFO crash retrievals offers a fascinating glimpse into a hidden world of advanced technology, extraterrestrial bodies, and military secrecy. From the mysterious crash Sheehan witnessed in the 1970s to the massive black triangles emerging from the ocean near the USS Nimitz, these cases challenge our understanding of aviation, physics, and the capabilities of modern militaries. As Schratt and Dolan noted, if true disclosure is ever to occur, it will likely hinge on revealing the crash retrieval programs and the extraordinary evidence they hold.

The future of UFO research depends on diligent investigation, persistent questioning, and a commitment to uncovering the truth about these mysterious phenomena that have intrigued humanity for decades.

Unveiling SETI’s Quest: How Scientists Search for Extraterrestrial Life

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has fascinated humanity for decades. While science fiction often portrays alien contact in dramatic and immediate terms, the real-world efforts to discover extraterrestrial life are far more systematic and grounded in rigorous science. In a detailed conversation with journalist Ross Coulthart, Bill Diamond, the President and CEO of the SETI Institute, shed light on the current state of the search for intelligent life beyond Earth and the innovative technologies driving the quest.

The Origins of SETI and Its Evolving Mission

SETI, founded 40 years ago, was initially focused on detecting radio signals that could suggest the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Diamond explained that the institute’s efforts were originally supported by NASA but now rely heavily on private funding. The core mission remains the same: to search for signals or phenomena that could indicate the existence of advanced civilizations elsewhere in the universe. Over time, however, SETI’s scope has expanded beyond just radio waves.

According to Diamond, SETI has evolved to search for various “technosignatures”—evidence of technology used by extraterrestrial civilizations. This includes not only radio transmissions but also optical signals such as laser pulses, which might be used for communication or propulsion. SETI also considers the possibility of detecting megastructures like Dyson spheres, which could suggest the presence of highly advanced technologies harnessing massive amounts of energy.

SETI’s Use of Radio and Optical Telescopes

SETI employs both radio and optical telescopes in its search. Radio telescopes listen for potential extraterrestrial signals across a wide range of frequencies, while optical telescopes search for laser communications that could indicate advanced extraterrestrial technologies. Diamond described how SETI integrates these methods in its efforts to capture engineered signals that nature alone would not produce.

One of the significant challenges facing SETI is the vastness of space and the relatively short period that humanity has been a “technological civilization.” Earth has only been emitting detectable electromagnetic signals for about a century—since the invention of radio. Diamond pointed out that while Earth’s radio signals might be detectable within 10 to 20 light-years, this range is extremely limited compared to the scale of the galaxy. Thus, SETI’s search is constrained not only by the technological limitations of our telescopes but also by the immense distances over which signals would have to travel.

Quantum Teleportation and Interstellar Communication

A particularly fascinating part of Coulthart and Diamond’s conversation touched on the potential for interstellar quantum communication. Quantum teleportation—where the quantum state of a particle is transmitted instantaneously to another, regardless of the distance between them—has long been a topic of scientific intrigue. Coulthart asked whether such a phenomenon could be used by extraterrestrial civilizations to communicate across the vast distances of space.

Diamond acknowledged that while quantum entanglement is a real and measurable phenomenon, scientists are still unsure how—or if—it could be used to transmit information in the way we understand communication. While there are mathematical models suggesting the possibility of quantum communication across interstellar distances, the technology is currently beyond our grasp. However, Diamond did not rule out the possibility that more advanced civilizations might have discovered ways to harness quantum mechanics for communication.

The Role of AI and New Technologies in SETI’s Future

As SETI continues to innovate, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a growing role in its search. Diamond highlighted how AI can help process vast amounts of data collected by SETI’s telescopes, which gather terabytes of information every second. Rather than focusing on specific, narrow-band signals, AI can analyze the entire electromagnetic spectrum, identifying any anomalies or unexpected signals that human researchers might miss. This new approach could significantly increase the likelihood of detecting extraterrestrial signals.

SETI is also exploring the possibility of placing radio telescopes on the far side of the Moon. A lunar-based telescope would avoid the interference from Earth’s noisy radio environment, making it an ideal location for detecting faint extraterrestrial signals. The project is still in the discussion phase, but Diamond expressed optimism about its potential.

The Debate Around Active SETI

Coulthart raised the philosophical debate surrounding “Active SETI,” also known as Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI). Unlike traditional SETI, which passively listens for signals, METI involves actively sending messages into space in the hope of making contact with intelligent civilizations. While some scientists, including the late Stephen Hawking, have cautioned against this approach—arguing that it could attract the attention of hostile extraterrestrial civilizations—others believe it is a logical step in the search for life.

Diamond explained that while SETI does not currently engage in METI, the institute encourages open dialogue about the risks and benefits. He personally does not subscribe to the so-called “Dark Forest” theory, which posits that advanced civilizations may be inherently predatory and dangerous. Instead, Diamond speculates that any civilization advanced enough to communicate across the stars is likely to have solved many of the existential challenges that face humanity today, such as climate change and resource depletion. Such a civilization, he believes, would be more likely to be cooperative and peaceful than aggressive.

Bill Diamond’s conversation with Ross Coulthart provided a comprehensive and insightful look at the current state of SETI’s efforts to discover extraterrestrial intelligence. While the search is fraught with challenges—both technological and philosophical—Diamond remains optimistic. With advancements in AI, quantum communication, and new observatories on the horizon, SETI is poised to push the boundaries of human knowledge and potentially make one of the most profound discoveries in history: proof that we are not alone in the universe.

Belief in aliens visiting Earth is skyrocketing – Is that dangerous for society?

Belief in a cover-up is even higher than belief in alien visitation. In 2019, a Gallop poll found that a staggering 68% of Americans believed that “the US government knows more about UFOs than it is telling”.

This political trend has been decades in the making. Jimmy Carter promised document disclosure during his presidential campaign in 1976, several years after his own reported UFO sighting. Like so many other sightings, the simplest explanation is that he saw Venus. (That happens a lot.)

Hillary Clinton also suggested she wanted to “open [Pentagon] files as much as I can” during her presidential campaign against Donald Trump. As seen in the video below, Trump suggested he’d need to “think about” whether it was possible to declassify the so-called Roswell documentation (relating to the notorious claimed crash of a UFO and the recovery of alien bodies).

The first steps in this direction go back to Alexander Kazantsev’s science fiction tale Explosion: The Story of a Hypothesis (1946). It presents the 1908 Tunguska meteorite impact event as a Nagasaki-like explosion of an alien spacecraft engine. In Kazantsev’s tale, a single giant black female survivor has been left stranded, equipped with special healing powers. This lead to her adoption as a shaman by the indigenous Evenki people.

NASA and the space science community do support efforts such as the Native Skywatchers initiative set up by the indigenous Ojibwe and Lakota communities to ensure the survival of storytelling about the stars. There is a real and extensive network of indigenous scholarship about these matters.

But UFOlogists promise a far higher profile for indigenous history in return for the mashing together of genuine indigenous stories about life arriving from the skies with fictional tales about UFOs, repackaged as suppressed history.

The modern alien visitation narrative has not, after all, emerged out of indigenous communities. Quite the opposite. It emerged in part as a way for conspiracy-minded thinkers in a Europe torn apart by racism to “explain” how complex urban civilizations in places like South America could have existed prior to European settlement.

Squeezed through a new age filter of 1960s counterculture, the narrative was flipped to value indigenous people as having once possessed advanced technology. Once upon a time, according to this view, every indigenous civilization was Wakanda, a fictional country appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

If all of this stayed in its own box, as entertaining fiction, then matters would be fine. But it doesn’t, and they aren’t. Visitation narratives tend to overwrite indigenous storytelling about sky and ground.

This is a problem for everyone, not just indigenous peoples struggling to continue authentic traditions. It threatens our grasp of the past. When it comes to insight into our remote ancestors, the remnants of prehistoric storytelling are few and precious, such as within indigenous storytelling about the stars.

• https://youtu.be/plqTwci7rY4

Take the tales of the Pleiades, which date back in standard forms to at least 50,000 years ago.

This may be why these tales in particular are heavily targeted by alien visitation enthusiasts, some of whom even claim to be “Pleiadeans”. No surprises, Pleiadeans do not look like the Lakota or Ojibwe, but are strikingly blond, blue-eyed, and Nordic.

It is increasingly clear that belief in alien visitation is no longer just a fun speculation, but something that has real and damaging consequences.

Kurt Russell’s Shocking UFO Encounter: Reporting Six UFOs Over Phoenix, Arizona

In the realm of UFO sightings, one of the most intriguing and well-documented incidents is the “Phoenix Lights” event, which occurred on March 13, 1997. Among the many witnesses to this mysterious phenomenon was Hollywood actor Kurt Russell, who later revealed that he was the pilot who first reported the unusual lights in the Arizona skies. Russell’s account adds a unique and personal perspective to the ongoing fascination with UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

The Phoenix Lights Incident

The Phoenix Lights incident is one of the most significant UFO sightings in the United States. On that night in 1997, thousands of people across Arizona reported seeing a massive, V-shaped formation of lights silently moving across the sky. The phenomenon was visible for hours and was witnessed by people in various locations, including Phoenix, Tucson, and the Sonoran Desert. Despite numerous eyewitness accounts, the lights’ origin remains a mystery, leading to widespread speculation and debate.

Kurt Russell’s Encounter

Kurt Russell’s involvement in the Phoenix Lights incident was not widely known until he discussed it years later during an interview. At the time of the sighting, Russell was flying a private plane into Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport with his son. As they approached the airport, they noticed six bright lights in a row, hovering in the sky in a formation that defied conventional explanation.

Concerned about the unusual sight, Russell contacted air traffic control to report what he was seeing. Interestingly, air traffic control informed him that no other planes were in the vicinity, and there were no military exercises or activities scheduled that could account for the lights. Russell’s report to the authorities is now recognized as one of the first official accounts of the Phoenix Lights.

The Aftermath and Speculation

Following the sighting, the Phoenix Lights incident gained national attention, with media coverage and investigations by both civilian and military organizations. While some officials claimed the lights were simply flares dropped by military aircraft during training exercises, many witnesses, including Kurt Russell, remain unconvinced by this explanation. The lack of definitive answers has only fueled speculation about the true nature of the lights.

Kurt Russell’s account adds a significant layer to the story because of his credibility as a public figure and his background as a licensed pilot. His detailed description of the six UFOs and his proactive approach in reporting the sighting make his story one of the most compelling aspects of the Phoenix Lights phenomenon.

Legacy of the Phoenix Lights

Over two decades later, the Phoenix Lights incident remains one of the most discussed and analyzed UFO sightings in history. It has inspired documentaries, books, and countless theories about extraterrestrial life and government cover-ups. Kurt Russell’s revelation that he was the pilot who reported the sighting has only added to the intrigue, cementing his place in UFO lore.

Russell himself has expressed a mix of curiosity and bewilderment about the incident. In interviews, he has admitted that the experience was strange and unexplainable, leaving him with more questions than answers. For many, his testimony is a reminder that even the most grounded and skeptical individuals can encounter phenomena that challenge their understanding of the world.

Kurt Russell’s report of six UFOs over Phoenix, Arizona, is a fascinating chapter in the larger story of the Phoenix Lights incident. His experience as a pilot and a public figure adds credibility and intrigue to an event that continues to captivate those interested in UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena. Whether or not the Phoenix Lights were of extraterrestrial origin, the mystery remains unsolved, leaving room for ongoing speculation and wonder.

At a meeting in NASA headquarters yesterday, the public had some blunt questions about UFOs, or, as the government now calls them, “unexplained anomalous phenomena.” A NASA spokesperson summarized them aloud: “What is NASA hiding, and where are you hiding it? How much has been shared publicly? Has NASA ever cut the live NASA TV feed away from something? Has NASA released all UAP evidence it has ever received? What about NASA astronauts—do they have an NDA or clearance that does not allow them to speak about UAP sightings? What are the science overlords hiding?” In short: Are you guys lying to everyone?

There was some gentle laughter among the panelists, whom NASA had convened on the subject. No, NASA “has never intentionally cut a live feed to hide anything,” a senior agency official said. A retired astronaut who worked at NASA for 20 years chimed in: “There was never any formal or informal discussions at all about UAPs or UFOs or anyone reporting anything that would suggest something from beyond our planet.” An astrobiologist—the kind of scientist whose job revolves around finding extraterrestrial life—said that scientists are a “rebellious” type, and if someone told him to keep a secret as big as this, he’d want to spill.

The group had spent the past several months examining reports of strange sightings in the sky, and yesterday’s hours-long event was its first (and only) public meeting. The NASA-organized committee, a mix of scientists and industry experts, did not make any dramatic pronouncements. The main takeaway was what we’ve heard all along. “Many events have conventional explanations,” David Spergel, an astrophysicist who chairs the committee, told reporters. (See: balloons.) “There remain events that we do not understand,” he said, “but these events tend to be characterized by poor-quality, limited data.” Ultimately, the group found UAP data “insufficient to provide conclusive evidence about the nature and origin of every UAP event,” Spergel said.

• Read: A new age of UFO mania

But in doing this work, NASA has discovered a different truth: Talking about UFOs can be a nasty business. If you publicly investigate, contemplate, or even breathe about UFOs, you will probably be harassed on the internet. Several of the panelists “have been subjected to online abuse due to their decision to participate on this panel,” Dan Evans, the NASA official assigned to the committee, said at the outset of the meeting. “A NASA security team is actively addressing this issue.’ (Evans later told me that there were “specific attacks on the character of individuals.”) And then there are the accusatory questions and distrust from the public. The agency has finally opened the doors to serious discussions about UFOs, and what it’s gotten instead is seriously toxic.

NASA has historically steered clear of anything involving UFOs, leaving the matter up to other federal agencies, which operated clandestine UFO programs for military and national-security purposes. The world’s top space agency was more concerned with searching for alien life far beyond Earth’s atmosphere—around planets orbiting other stars, for example—than weird things in our own sky. But UFOs have been popping up in the news quite a bit in recent years, thanks to newspaper reports on those secret government programs and the resulting congressional hearings. But last year, NASA’s administrator, Bill Nelson, seemed to succumb to the pull of UFOs and directed the agency to form a panel of experts.

Spergel and the other members of the committee stressed that their goal was not to conduct an exhaustive investigation of every frame of grainy footage but to provide a “roadmap” for NASA that details how the agency could contribute to the future study and analysis of UFOs. The panel did not have access to any classified data either. That approach was bound to provoke those who believe that some reported UFOs have extraterrestrial origins, and that the government—and perhaps now NASA too—is hiding that fact.

• Read: What the UFO discussion really needs

Despite the high emotions surrounding UFOs, nearly all public meetings on the subject are quite anticlimactic, and distinctly lacking in someone unfurling a giant sign from the ceiling that declares, once and for all, WE FOUND THE ALIENS. I’ve covered the space industry for years, and to me, the most surprising result was how absorbed NASA seemed to be in the discussion. Last year, a NASA official said a dedicated UAP-research effort would pose a “reputational risk” for the agency. But yesterday, this committee was advising NASA to approach UFOs in a way that the agency has not done in its nearly 65-year existence. Instead of opting out, the panelists said that NASA should help reduce the stigma surrounding UFOs; one expert from the Federal Aviation Administration said that the agency should “leverage its brand image” to do so. Evans, the NASA official, was also on board, saying, “It’s now our collective responsibility to investigate these occurrences with the rigorous scientific scrutiny that they deserve.”

The NASA panel must now draw up a formal report to deliver to agency leaders this summer. One panelist said that NASA should set up its own UFO office, a modest but dedicated force, to collect and archive data alongside other, more serious programs in the Defense Department. But first, NASA would probably like everyone to stop getting worked up over aliens. Nicola Fox, NASA’s associate administrator for science missions, said yesterday that “harassment only leads to further stigmatization of the UAP field, significantly hindering scientific progress and discouraging others to study this important subject matter.” Indeed, the road to understanding the nature of UFOs will be paved with abuse and, as NASA now knows, an ungodly number of emails. “I think every one of the 16-strong panel, plus myself, receives emails on a daily basis of all sorts concerning this subject,” Evans told me. Some of them are terrible, and, unfortunately, there’s nothing anomalous about that.

The sighting was so bizarre that it baffled the RAF

A Leicester family has finally revealed the truth behind a UFO mystery 

(Image: Leicester Mercury)

A Leicestershire family has finally revealed the truth behind a decades-old UFO mystery. An unidentified flying object spotted in 1970, which puzzled locals and even involved the RAF, has been revealed to be a homemade hot air balloon.

Former RAF engine fitter and licensed pilot, Albert Jones, has been identified as the creator of the UFO which caused a stir 54 years ago. Mr Jones crafted hot air balloons using tissue paper and firelighters as part of their annual bonfire night celebrations.

Martin Jones, 64, from Whitwick, near Coalville, shared the story to mark what would have been his father's 100th birthday. He revealed how his father swore him and his friends to secrecy at the time. He said: "He was worried about repercussions once the RAF got involved."

One of these balloons landed in a garden on Nursery Road, Leicester, sparking a UFO sighting report. A Leicester Mercury report from November 7, 1970, covered the incident with the headline "Space objects crash-land". In it, the article showed Iris Draper, of Nursery Road, Scraptoft Lane, who had discovered one of the "UFOs" in her back garden.

The object was described as a 12-foot-long white paper balloon attached to a 4-foot wooden hoop, with a wooden cross supporting a small wire basket.

The RAF and Met Office were unable to identify the objects at the time, leaving them a mystery for years. Albert's fascination with flight stemmed from his RAF days and continued with his interest in gliding and private piloting.

Mr Jones, who was 10 years old at the time of the incident, told LeicestershireLive: "My dad owned a hardware shop in Whitwick. Every bonfire night, he used to sell fireworks himself. When bonfire night was over, anything that was left, he used to have a big display himself, because he was just a big kid really."

The balloons, launched from the family's hardware shop in Whitwick, often travelled several miles.

Describing the balloon-making process, Martin said: "He'd lay all these sheets of tissue paper down and glue them all together. It'd be probably 12 foot high and six foot diameter, or whatever he decided to do at the time."

The balloons often travelled impressive distances. Martin said: "My cousin once followed one on his motorcycle and lost sight of it going over Burton on Trent."

Mr Jones said his father likely launched smaller balloons throughout the year for personal amusement, contributing to local UFO lore. Speaking about how his father would feel about the truth finally coming out, Martin said: "He would laugh about it now."

Man Claims He Captured Bizarre UFO Image Over Glasgow

PEXELS: UrlaPovaanna

Kay Smythe -News and Commentary Writer

A man living just outside of Glasgow, Scotland, says he accidentally captured a photograph Friday of a UFO while trying to snap the Northern Lights.

Gearóid Cearr claims he often heads out with his camera to capture photos of the Aurora Borealis and was shooting pictures at St. Ambrose High School football park around 9:30 p.m. when the lights appeared, according to Glasgow Live. Within the 100 or so photographs Caerr took, one of them contained something … odd.

Images shared by the outlet on social media show a series of red and white dots aligning in a repeated pattern in the middle of the sky.

The cluster of red and white lights were snapped streaking across the sky 🛸https://t.co/7fUWANChWRhttps://t.co/7fUWANChWR

“I said to myself I don’t remember seeing that when I took the photo. I posted it on a Facebook group to see if anyone knew what it was,” Caerr told the outlet. “Some say it is starlink satellites but it can’t be as they are only white. And when I catch planes in photos they never look like this.”

Did aliens contact Boeing Starliner at NASA space-station today? UFO UAP Sighting News.

Boeing Starliner contacted NASA Mission Control and asked them what this strange sound was coming from the Starliner speakers. He held the microphone up to the speaker and a pinging sound or sonar sound came from it. It's very possible this was a radio transmission sent from an alien ship to the spacestation to make contact. Radio waves are primitive to aliens, but when in Rome...do as the Romans do so that they understand one another better.

FOIA Documents Reveal AARO’s Authorized and Repeated Attempts to Engage with David Grusch

By John Greenewald

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), tasked to investigate Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), made numerous attempts to interview UFO whistleblower David Grusch regarding his claims of U.S. Government engagement with extraterrestrial materials and technologies. These new documents were just released to The Black Vault in FOIA case 24-F-0266, which was filed on November 2, 2023, and they outline not only the timeline of events to contact Grusch, but numerous text messages and emails.

The following is an overview and brief timeline, as explained in a January 8, 2024, Memorandum for Record, which was one of the documents released in the case.

Timeline of AARO’s Attempts to Engage David Grusch:

• June 8-13, 2023: Initial contact was made with known associates of Grusch, urging them to have him speak with AARO. These efforts were clarified during dialogues between AARO’s Director and individuals close to Grusch.
• June 26, 2023: AARO staff reached out directly for Grusch’s contact details and extended an interview invitation, which Grusch declined.
• June 28, 2023: After Grusch’s congressional testimony, AARO sought any verifiable information he might have shared with Congress.
• July 27, 2023: Further attempts to arrange an interview through another associate of Grusch, who was meeting him the following day.
• October 6, 2023: A secure call was made to encourage Grusch to participate in a formal interview.
• November 10, 2023: Grusch agreed to be interviewed on November 14, after Congressional staff urged his cooperation.
• November 14, 2023: Grusch failed to appear at the scheduled interview, expressing doubts about AARO’s authorization to handle classified information.
• November 19, 2023: AARO contacted Grusch again, reiterating their authorization and inviting him to discuss his claims, which he declined.
• January 8, 2024: AARO provided additional documentation to address Grusch’s concerns about confidentiality and classification handling, maintaining a standing invitation for an interview.

As noted in the above email also released in the records, there was a scheduled meeting with Grusch after he finally agreed to meet. However, he never showed, and seemingly even left them waiting in the lobby at the agreed meeting time and location.

Grusch later apologized in an email, but alluded to his no-show being tied to what he felt were unanswered questions that he wanted addressed prior to the meeting.

After the timeline was outlined, the memorandum ended with, “During interactions between AARO and Mr. Grusch from November 2023 to January 2024, it became evident that Mr. Grusch had no intention of providing AARO with information regarding his claims.”

But the memorandum outlining the timeline of contact attempts was not the full extent of the release. Numerous emails and text message exchanges were provided to support the above timeline.

One example of the latter were text message exchanges between Christopher Mellon, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the Director of AARO at the time they were written, on the encrypted text messaging system known as Signal.  These messages reveal Mellon attempting to mediate between Grusch and AARO to clarify misunderstandings about AARO’s legal capacities.

Note: Mellon’s texts are in the grey/white and Kirkpatrick is in blue/white.

Through Mellon, Grusch was asking why AARO just did not get their information from the Inspector General’s office, as Kirkpatrick then explained due to the “criminal investigation” aspect of the material, they would not have access to it until the IG decided to release it. However, Kirkpatrick explained that Grusch still was able to give his testimony and evidence to AARO directly, outside of the criminal investigation.

Kirkpatrick labels Grusch’s assertions and Mellon’s response to him as “absurd and false” during the exchange.

Another exchange showed how Kirkpatrick told Mellon he was “… defending and adjudicating, and [Mellon was] undermining the very organization [he]purported to help establish for this purpose.” Mellon’s response was that he never claimed Grusch’s claims were “accurate” but he felt Grusch was “sincere and credible.” His full response is above. (Note: The message appears to have been cut off. An appeal has been filed for the rest of it under the “Read More” link, as shown in the screen shot).

The exchanges released began on June 11, 2023, and lasted until June 13, 2023. Another exchange was at an unknown date relaying AARO’s position that, “By law, AARO may receive all UAP-related information, including any classified national security information involving military, intelligence, and intelligence-related activities, at all levels of classification regardless of any restrictive access controls, special access programs, or compartmented access programs.”

Mellon agreed to pass that on to Grusch’s attorney, then he stated he would, “… seek to avoid further communication unless it is something that seems extraordinary or if [likely Kirkpatrick]initiate.” No further communication between Mellon and Kirkpatrick was released.

Another document in the FOIA release is the memorandum confirming AARO’s authority to receive and handle all UAP-related information, regardless of its classification. This memorandum, signed by Major General David Abba, Director, DoD Special Access Program Central Office (DoD SAPCO), explicitly states that AARO representatives are authorized to engage with individuals who possess sensitive U.S. Government information about UAPs, even if bound by nondisclosure agreements. This document is crucial because it directly counters Grusch’s claims of legal and security risks in cooperating with AARO, providing a clear legal basis for AARO’s ability to hear details about his story.

It should also be noted, that on April 17, 2024, Abba took part with the now acting Director of AARO Tim Phillips, in a classified briefing for some members of Congress. Details of that briefing, as of the writing of this article, are scant.

The detailed FOIA documents, including the timeline of engagements and the text messages with Christopher Mellon, demonstrate AARO’s persistent and legally supported efforts to involve David Grusch in their investigation. Despite these efforts, Grusch’s refusal to cooperate, based on disputed claims about AARO’s authority, raises more questions about the discrepancies between his public statements and his actions. The memorandum affirming AARO’s authorization to receive classified information is a critical piece of evidence supporting the office’s capacity to conduct its mandated tasks, reinforcing AARO’s role in the ongoing UAP investigations.

Numerous attempts by The Black Vault in the past to contact David Grusch about his claims have never been returned. No attempt was made to contact him for this specific article as all methods to contact him have been exhausted. The results of the appeal on the above case will be posted, when available.
