This week, NASA shared more information about its planned moon base missions, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the launchpad and the James Webb Space Telescope spotted a supermassive black hole that researchers say "may have formed within the first second after the big bang." But first, we have updates on NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic research plane and SpaceX's Starship following last week's test flight. Catch up here on this week's science news.

Key test flights approach for NASA's quiet supersonic plane

Over the last decade, NASA has been developing an aircraft that could one day reach supersonic speeds — or travel faster than the speed of sound — without producing the thunderous sonic booms typically associated with this feat. The plane, called the X-59, took its first ever flight back in October and has conducted several more in the months since. Now, NASA says it's ready to go supersonic. The X-59 is scheduled to take its first supersonic flight, hitting over 630 mph at an altitude of about 43,000 feet, in early June, according to the space agency./

55,000 feet. After that, it'll go for its max speed: Mach 1.6, or 1,218 mph, at an altitude of 60,000 feet. NASA isn't ready to show off the X-59's quiet supersonic capabilities yet, though. For this phase of testing, NASA noted in a blog post, "The X-59 will be accompanied by a traditional supersonic chase plane, so any quiet thump it produces in the current phase of testing will be obscured by louder, traditional sonic booms from the chase."

FAA grounds Starship after 'mishap'

SpaceX's Starship V3 launched for the first time last week in a test flight that achieved much of what the company set out to do. But, it wasn't entirely without hiccups, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has since ordered a pause on Starship flights while it investigates what went wrong and prevented the Super Heavy booster from making a soft splashdown as intended.

The issue arose after Starship separated from Super Heavy. "Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster performed a directional flip maneuver and attempted its boostback burn," SpaceX explained in a blog post following the launch. "It was unable to light all planned engines and performed a partial boostback burn that ended early. Super Heavy attempted to reignite its engines for the landing burn before experiencing a hard splashdown in the Gulf of America." Starship went on to complete its journey and splashed down at the planned site in the Indian Ocean.

"After a thorough assessment of the operation, the FAA has determined the May 22 SpaceX Starship Flight 12 launch resulted in a mishap," the agency said in a statement released this week. "The mishap involved the Super Heavy booster as it flew back to the Gulf of America after stage separation. There are no reports of public injury or damage to public property." It added, "The FAA is requiring SpaceX to conduct a mishap investigation. The FAA will oversee the SpaceX-led investigation, be involved in every step of the process, and approve SpaceX's final report, including any corrective actions."

It's not an uncommon move on the FAA's part, and SpaceX has faced several such groundings over the years, many of which have been wrapped up fairly quickly. It likely won't be very long before we see Starship back in action. "A return to flight of the Starship-Super Heavy vehicle is based on the FAA determining that any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect public safety," the FAA noted in its statement.

The FAA grounded SpaceX competitor Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket last month following its third mission, and it was just cleared earlier this week to resume flights. But, during a hotfire test on Friday, New Glenn exploded on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. You can read more about that below.

Secretly filmed UFO doc reveals insider video as officials release new alien records: 'Something is imminent'

Jeremy Corbell attends the 'The UFO Reality: What Do We Know? What Might We Find Out?' panel at AlienCon 2023 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, Calif., on March 4, 2023.

The documentary — which was filmed in secret over the span of several years — also reveals previously unreleased footage from Corbell’s investigations and includes interviews from several prominent names in the movement, including astronaut Edgar Mitchell, David Grusch and George Knapp. 

"[Corbell] revealed a bunch of videos that he had access to that ended up being a part of the Department of War's UAP file drop — which was fascinating. So he's in the know," Josh Golembeske, senior director of production at Gaia and guest host of the series "Cosmic Disclosure," told Fox News Digital. 

Corbell has spent 14 years compiling UAP-related secrets at a time when information surrounding the phenomenon has been met with public skepticism and government pushback.

The result of his efforts has been far-reaching, with experts pointing to a newfound sense of legitimacy toward UAP footage and documentation. 

"The evidence is overwhelming that we’re being visited," Golembeske said. "There’s been a lid put on it."

The film comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s push for federal transparency pertaining to UAPs, with a second batch of declassified documents released by the Department of War last week.

"There's been a long push from the public and behind the scenes to get to this moment," Golembeske said. "That push also leaked into the [Trump] administration. So now this administration is more open to it." 

Congress Pushes for More Unreleased UFO Footage

While Golembeske has long advocated for full federal transparency, he believes that the current method of controlled information releases by officials is the best way to acclimate the public to news of UAP discoveries and sightings.

"I think this is a slow drip disclosure, and you could argue it's compassionate disclosure," Golembeske told Fox News Digital. "This is actually how I would do it, because I know that people are going to be shocked and I wouldn't just drop everything on them."

WATCH: American public ‘can handle’ truth about UAPs, whistleblower says

However, Golembeske cautions against officials using the releases to negatively portray the possibility of alien life, potentially skewing the public perception of otherworldly beings and technology.

"I like what I'm seeing now, but I worry about a fear-based disclosure versus a hope-based disclosure," Golembeske said. "Part of my mission here and part of my mission at Gaia is to empower the evolution of consciousness – and all the evidence suggests there is nothing to fear." 

In light of the renewed interest in UAP disclosure and discovery – along with high-profile documentary releases, such as "Sleeping Dog" – Golembeske remains optimistic that the narrative surrounding UFOs will continue to gain traction nationwide.

"I wouldn't have said this five years ago, but it feels like something is imminent," Golembeske told Fox News Digital. "It does feel like we're building towards a moment and the genie can't be put back in the bottle – I think it's gone too far." 

Fox News Digital reached out to Corbell and the film's distributor, Falcon Scout Media, for comment.

Het Socorro UAP-incident: Een van de meest overtuigende UFO-waarnemingen in de geschiedenis

Op vrijdag 24 april 1964 vond een gebeurtenis plaats die nog steeds tot de verbeelding spreekt en waarvan wordt aangenomen dat het één van de meest gedocumenteerde en geloofwaardige UFO-ontdekkingen is uit de geschiedenis. Het incident van Socorro, ook bekend als het Lonnie Zamora-incident, betrof de waarneming van een landend luchtvaartuig van onbekende oorsprong en de aanwezigheid van diens bemanning, door politieagent Lonnie Zamora nabij Socorro, New Mexico. Deze gebeurtenis heeft niet alleen veel aandacht getrokken binnen de ufologie, maar werd ook uitgebreid onderzocht door de Amerikaanse luchtmacht in het kader van Project Blue Book, dat tot doel had om onverklaarde vliegende objecten te analyseren en te verklaren.

De achtergrond van Socorro

Socorro is de hoofdstad van Socorro County in de staat New Mexico. De stad ligt net ten noorden van White Sands Missile Range, de locatie waar in 1945 de eerste atoombom werd getest, bekend als de Trinity Site. Sinds de oprichting van de New Mexico School of Mines in 1889, tegenwoordig bekend als het New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech), vormt Socorro een centrum voor wetenschappelijke en technologische studies. Deze omgeving, omgeven door militaire en wetenschappelijke faciliteiten, is altijd een belangrijke spil geweest voor onderzoek naar natuurkunde, ruimtevaart en geavanceerde technologieën.

De inwoner van Socorro, Dionicio E. “Lonnie” Zamora, werd geboren op 7 september 1933 in Magdalena. Voordat hij zijn carrière in de wetshandhaving begon, werkte hij in het machinepark van de universiteit. Toen hij in 1964 de waarneming deed, was hij al vijf jaar politieagent bij de Socorro Police Department. Zijn integriteit en professionele houding zouden later een grote rol spelen in de geloofwaardigheid van zijn getuigenis.

De eerste waarneming en achtervolging

Op vrijdag 24 april 1964, rond 17:45 uur, reed agent Zamora met zijn politiewagen, een witte Pontiac uit 1964, over Park Street in Socorro. Terwijl hij in zuidelijke richting reed, zag hij een zwarte Chevrolet die de snelheid overschreed en die hij probeerde te achtervolgen. De bestuurder leek een jongeman te zijn, in de late tienerjaren, die richting de rodeo-gronden van de stad reed.

Terwijl Zamora de zwarte auto nog enkele blokken volgde, viel zijn oog op een luid, brommend geluid en een flits aan de zuidwestelijke horizon. Hij keek in die richting en zag een “vlam in de lucht”, op ongeveer een halve mijl afstand. Zamora beschreef de vlam later als “blauwachtig met een beetje oranje”, en het was een smalle vlam die zich licht uitbreidde van boven naar onder. Hij kon niet precies inschatten hoe groot de vlam was, maar het leek een smalle, langwerpige vlam die kort daarna begon te groeien.

Hoewel Zamora nog steeds in beweging was, keek hij door het open raam van zijn auto en zag de vlam langzaam naar beneden dalen. Hij had op dat moment groene brillenglazen over zijn gewone bril, en door de zon die naar het westen scheen was het moeilijk om meer details te onderscheiden over wat de vlam veroorzaakte. De vlam verdween achter een heuvel, maar Zamora zag dat er stof omhoog kwam vlakbij de plek waar de vlam verdween, wat voor hem de aanwijzing was dat er mogelijk iets bijzonders aan de hand was.

Hij besloot niet verder de achtervolging te zetten, maar in plaats daarvan de heuvel op te rijden om te onderzoeken wat er aan de hand was. Hij reed over een onverharde weg die naar de heuvel leidde, en moest meerdere keren achteruit rijden en opnieuw proberen voordat hij de top bereikte. Het terrein was hobbelig en glad, waardoor hij telkens slipte of moest terugrijden. Tijdens de klim hoorde hij een luid brommend geluid dat niet klonk als dat van een straaljager, maar wel van een krachtig apparaat. Het geluid veranderde in toon van hoog naar laag, en hij hoorde het ongeveer tien seconden voordat het plotseling stopte.

Toen hij de top van de heuvel bereikte, zag Zamora een glanzend voorwerp op ongeveer 150 tot 200 meter afstand, naar het zuiden. Hij stopte zijn auto en keek. Aanvankelijk dacht hij dat hij een omgevallen voertuig zag, maar al snel werd duidelijk dat het een ronde, metallic uitziende structuur was, met een buitenkant die leek op aluminium. De kleur was “wittig tegen de achtergrond van de mesa,” maar niet glanzend als chroom.

De bemanning en de observatie

Terwijl Zamora stil stond en het object bekeek, zag hij ook twee personen in witte overalls nabij het object. Volgens zijn verslag leek één van hen zich te draaien en hem recht in de ogen te kijken, wat hem deed vermoeden dat ze zich bewust waren van zijn aanwezigheid en mogelijk geschrokken waren. Hij kon niet veel details onderscheiden over deze personen, behalve dat ze een menselijke vorm hadden en dat hun kleding licht van kleur was. Ze waren klein van stature, wat hem deed denken aan kleine volwassenen of grote kinderen.

Zamora voelde dat deze ‘mensen’ in gevaar konden zijn en besloot snel te handelen. Hij zette zijn auto in beweging en schakelde de radio aan om de politie te informeren. Hij meldde een mogelijk ongeluk (“10-44”) en dat hij zo snel mogelijk ter plaatse zou zijn (“bezig met hulpverlening”). Toen hij aankwam bij de plek waar hij het object had gezien, stopte hij zijn auto, maar merkte dat zijn microfoon uit de radio was gevallen. Hij zette hem weer op zijn plek en liep in de richting van het object, dat zich onderaan een heuvel bevond.

Net op dat moment hoorde Zamora twee harde klappen, die hij vergeleek met het geluid van iemand die met een hamer op een deur sloeg. Toen hij uit zijn voertuig stapte, begon het brommende geluid weer, nu veel harder en in toon die van laag naar hoog ging, terwijl hij de vlam weer zag onder het object. Het was duidelijk dat het object niet zomaar een landingsvaartuig was, maar zich begon te bewegen en langzaam omhoog te stijgen.

De vlam onder het object was nu lichtblauw van kleur, met een oranje onderkant. Het object had een ovale vorm en een glad oppervlak zonder ramen of openingen, hoewel Zamora redelijke grote letters zag die op een insigne leken. Het insigne was ongeveer 2,5 voet hoog en 2 voet breed, en leek op een soort markering of logo, mogelijk vergelijkbaar met een merkstempel.

De vlucht en de conclusie

Toen het object begon te stijgen en de vlam produceerde, rende Zamora naar zijn auto om hem te beschermen en om het object in de gaten te houden. Hij struikelde en liet zijn bril vallen, maar bleef kijken. Hij zag dat het object nu op ongeveer 10 tot 15 voet hoogte boven de grond zweefde en snel wegvloog. Het maakte een scherpe, snelle beweging en verdween over de bergen in de verte, waarschijnlijk over de Box Canyon of Six Mile Canyon.

Zamora rende terug naar zijn auto, zette zich erin en belde de centrale via de radio. Hij vertelde dat hij de omgeving moest bekijken en dat hij het object zag alsof het een ballon was. Hij bleef het object volgen totdat het uit het zicht verdween en over de bergen verdween. Hij schatte dat hij het object ongeveer 20 seconden vanaf het moment dat hij zijn auto stopte tot het verdween, van dichtbij had kunnen bekijken.

Het politieonderzoek en de officiële conclusies

Nadat Zamora het object had gerapporteerd, kwam een team van politie en militairen naar de plek. Ze vonden tekenen dat de aarde was verbrand en dat er verbrande planten waren. Ook werden er voetsporen gevonden die mogelijk door de bemanning waren achtergelaten, en er werden sporen van een soort legsels ontdekt die niet overeenkwamen met menselijke voetafdrukken.

De FBI en het Amerikaanse leger deden onderzoek naar de zaak. Ze spraken met Zamora, bekeken de locatie en verzamelden bewijs. Aanvankelijk suggereerden sommige militaire vertegenwoordigers dat het mogelijk om een experimenteel Amerikaans vliegtuig of een testproject ging, maar bewijs daarvoor werd niet gevonden. Later verklaarde het rapport dat er geen radar- of andere technische gegevens waren die het bestaan van een onbekend object konden verklaren.

Andere getuigen en waarnemingen

Naast Zamora waren er enkele andere getuigen die de gebeurtenis of de geluiden die Zamora had gehoord, hadden opgemerkt. Zo had een lokale man en zijn gezin bij een benzinestation gesproken met een manager die had gezegd dat er een vliegtuig laag over hun auto was gevlogen en dat het bijna de daken had geraakt. Ook hadden er mensen gehoord dat er een vreemd blauw-oranje licht was waargenomen in de omgeving, en dat een politieagent een object had zien vliegen dat leek op een helikopter.

De theorieën en interpretaties

Verschillende onderzoekers en skeptici hebben geprobeerd om de waarneming te verklaren. Sommigen suggereerden dat het een hoax was, bijvoorbeeld een ballon of een experiment met een prototype van een ruimtevaartuig. Anderen dachten dat Zamora mogelijk een onderschept experiment had gezien dat niet bedoeld was voor het publiek, zoals een prototype van een maanlander of een ander ruimtevaartuig.

Sceptici zoals Phillip J. Klass speculeerden dat het mogelijk om een atmosferisch fenomeen ging, zoals ball lightning of een soort weersverschijnsel. Anderen beweerden dat Zamora misschien betrokken was bij een samenzwering of een hoax, mogelijk in samenwerking met lokale autoriteiten of studenten. Een interessante theorie is dat de witte figuren in werkelijkheid studenten waren die dynamiet hadden laten exploderen om de aandacht te trekken, en dat Zamora per ongeluk de personen in witte overalls had gezien die daar aanwezig waren.

De insignes en het symboliek

Een opvallend detail in Zamora’s beschrijving was het insigne op het object, dat leek op een logo van een bedrijf dat zich bezighield met ruimtevaart en voortstuwingstechnologie. Sommige onderzoekers hebben dit geïnterpreteerd als mogelijk bewijs dat het object verband hield met een militaire of industriële test, hoewel er nooit harde bewijzen zijn gevonden die dat ondersteunen.

Het vervolg en de nasleep

Hector Quintanilla, de toenmalige directeur van Project Blue Book, erkende dat de Socorro-zaak waarschijnlijk de best gedocumenteerde en geloofwaardige UFO-waarneming was die hij had gezien. Toch bleef de officiële conclusie dat er geen bewijs was dat het om een buitenaards object ging. Zamora zelf bleef bij zijn verhaal en werd later erkend als een van de meest geloofwaardige getuigen uit de ufologie.

In de jaren na het incident bleven onderzoekers speculeren over de ware aard van wat Zamora had gezien. Sommige geloofden dat het een buitenaards ruimteschip was dat probeerde te landen, terwijl anderen dachten dat het een geavanceerd experimenteel vliegtuig was dat nog geheim werd gehouden. Het blijft een fascinerend mysterie dat tot op de dag van vandaag niet volledig is opgelost.

Conclusie

Het Socorro-incident van 1964 blijft een van de meest intrigerende en goed gedocumenteerde UFO-waarnemingen uit de geschiedenis. De geloofwaardigheid van Lonnie Zamora en de gedetailleerde beschrijvingen van het object en de bemanning maken het een fundamenteel geval voor onderzoekers en liefhebbers van onverklaarde fenomenen. Hoewel de officiële instanties geen sluitend bewijs konden vinden voor buitenaardse betrokkenheid, blijft het incident een krachtig bewijs dat er nog veel is dat we niet begrijpen over de mysteries van de lucht en het onbekende.

Dit incident benadrukt ook de noodzaak van een open en objectieve benadering van UFO-onderzoek, en herinnert ons eraan dat sommige mysteries misschien nooit volledig ontrafeld zullen worden, maar dat ze ons blijven uitdagen om verder te kijken dan de horizon van ons begrip. Het Socorro-incident blijft een blijvende herinnering aan de complexiteit en het intrigerende karakter van de onverklaarde fenomenen die de menselijke nieuwsgierigheid blijven prikkelen.

UFO and alien 'evidence' to take center stage on Capitol Hill in just DAYS

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

Supporters of UFO disclosure say the movement has reached a tipping point.

With President Donald Trump ordering the declassification of UAP-related materials and public interest surging worldwide, a coalition of lawmakers, whistleblowers and researchers is preparing what they describe as a historic push for transparency.

On June 9, David Grusch and several members of Congress will gather at the US Capitol to call for the public release of UFO-related evidence he says remains hidden in classified government ch

Grusch previously testified under oath before Congress in 2023, claiming he had firsthand knowledge of secret government programs involving technology of non-human origin.

The former intelligence officer is expected to outline why he believes those materials should now be reviewed and released to the public.

'President Trump now has an historic opportunity; this press conference is about moving from testimony to action,' Grusch said. 'Let the American people judge the facts for themselves.'

The event comes after the Trump administration has released two batches of UFO files this month, with the first dump on May 8. 

Investigative filmmaker and moderator of the meeting, James Fox, said: 'The public deserves real answers, Congress deserves access, and reality should not be classified. If our requests are fulfilled, this could change the course of history.' 

The second batch of UFO files released by the Pentagon included a video of a mysterious object in the sky

The event, set for 1pm ET, will feature remarks from Representatives Eric Burlison, Jared Moskowitz, Anna Paulina Luna and Tim Burchett, with additional participants to be announced.

Burlison said in a press release: 'President Trump is the first president to take concrete steps towards transparency on UAP. 

'The recent releases are an important start, so now it's the obligation of Congress to make sure career intelligence officials don't obstruct his directive, in order to prevent selective disclosure or another dead end.'

Officials said additional releases from agencies, including the CIA, are expected in the coming weeks as pressure grows for greater transparency surrounding UFO investigations.

For decades, many UFO-related records remained locked away due to Cold War secrecy, national security concerns and fears about exposing sensitive military technology detected by radar and surveillance systems.

Critics have long argued that successive administrations avoided publicly acknowledging unexplained cases out of concern over public backlash, institutional embarrassment and growing conspiracy theories surrounding UFO investigations.

On Wednesday, President Trump held a Cabinet meeting where he said: 'We’re releasing a lot of information having to do with extraterrestrial... things and people are totally fascinated by it.

'It's literally trending number one, can you believe it?'

David Grusch (center) previously testified under oath before Congress in 2023, claiming he had firsthand knowledge of secret government programs involving technology of non-human origin

Grusch testified alongside two other military whistleblowers, Ryan Graves, an esteemed former pilot, and Navy veteran fighter pilot Commander David Fravor, who witnessed the 2004 'Tic Tac' UFO.

House lawmakers held the hearing to pressure the executive branch to release more information about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) or UFOs.

This significant event was the first time these three men, or any individual, had sworn under oath about UFO encounters.

Graves, a former F-18 pilot with over a decade of service in the US Navy, was the first to give opening statements.

'My testimony is based on information I've been given by individuals with a long-standing track record of legitimacy and service to this country, many of whom have shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation and classified oral testimony to myself and many various colleagues,' he told lawmakers, stating he was driven to share it by a 'commitment to truth and transparency.'

He told the committee that he and more than 30 aircrew members and veterans have experienced UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomena, along with members of Congress who have confided in him.

Graves said, as an F-18 pilot in the Red Rippers, their squadron was 'split by UAP' during a training mission near Virginia Beach in 2014.

He described the object as 'dark gray or black inside a transparent sphere.' It was about 15 feet in diameter and came within 50 feet of the lead aircraft.

Ryan Graves, a former pilot, Air Force and intelligence agency veteran David Grusch and Navy veteran fighter pilot Commander David Fravor have been sworn in and are ready to share their experiences

The mission commander ended the flight, and the squadron submitted a safety report. Graves continued to explain.

'This story is more common than we expect,' Graves said, 'more than 30 witnesses had told his group about similar sightings.'

'Often, they are veterans with decades of flying experience,' he added.

Graves also said: 'UAPs are in our airspace but are grossly underreported.'

Grusch spoke next, providing details about how the US government has 'intact and partially intact' extraterrestrial vehicles.

He has previously said the US has run a top-secret UFO retrieval program for decades and claimed the 'Vatican was involved' in the first-ever UFO crash.

Grusch said last month that the first recovery of a UFO was in Magenta, Italy, in 1933, and Mussolini's Italian government held it until 1944 through 1945, when Pope Pius XII tipped America off about it.

David Fravor discussed the Tic Tac-shaped object seen in the sky over California on November 10, 2004 Video of what the Navy could trace of the object was leaked in 2017, and the Pentagon declassified the case in 2020

'Due to my extensive executive-level intelligence support duties, I was cleared to literally all relevant compartments and in a position of extreme trust in both my military and civilian capacities,' Grusch said during Wednesday's hearing.

'I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access to that additional read-on when I requested it.'

Grusch also said he had faced brutal retaliation after coming forward about his firsthand accounts of UFOs.

'I do have knowledge of active planned reprisal activity against myself and other colleagues.

'There were certain colleagues of mine who were brutally administratively attacked. It makes me very upset as a leader to see that happen to other co-workers and superiors of mine in the last three years,' Grusch added.

Fravor reminded the world about his infamous 2004 encounter with the 'Tic Tac' UFO.

'I'd like to say that the tic tac object we engaged in 2004 was far superior to anything that we had at the time, have today or looking to develop in the next 10 years, he said.

'If we, in fact, have programs that possess this technology, it needs to have oversight from those people that the citizens of this country elected in office to represent what is best for the United States and best for the citizens.'

Fravor described the Tic Tac object as being 'perfectly white, smooth and had no windows,' with 'two little objects that came out of the bottom.'

“The Hidden Alien Theory: Could Extraterrestrials Be Living on Earth?”

Pentagon UFO Files & Spielberg's Disclosure Day — The Bigger Story No One's Telling

{ https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/index.html }

The White House has finally launched its mysterious 'aliens.gov' website, revealing it was never meant for UFO disclosure. 

The domain, which went live Thursday, opens with a Star Wars-style crawl with ominous text that warns, 'They walk among us,' teasing what appears to be a decades-long government secret involving extraterrestrial life living undetected among ordinary Americans.

Only after scrolling further do visitors discover the site is not about such species at all, but instead features a live ticker tracking federal law enforcement 'encounters' involving migrants living in the US illegally, alongside immigration enforcement data and arrest statistics. 

The domain, which the Trump administration secured in March, features a searchable database detailing ICE arrests, including detainees' alleged criminal histories, nationality, arrest records and purported gang ties. 

It also directs visitors to an ICE reporting portal labeled for 'suspicious aliens' while claiming government leaders spent decades concealing what it describes as an ongoing 'invasion.' 

The rollout immediately sparked backlash from members of the UFO community, who accused the White House of 'hijacking the language of disclosure for an immigration campaign.'

Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell appeared to anticipate the move hours before the website launched, posting on X: 'I suspect tonight the White House is going to punk the American people.'

'They'll use the massive public interest in UAP, in "aliens," and weaponize that curiosity for a political message that has nothing to do with the global mystery surrounding UFOs,' he wrote.

The White House has finally launched its mysterious 'aliens.gov' website - but the site is not about extraterrestrials at all, rather migrants living in the US illegally 

A White House official told Fox News Digital: 'This is a first-of-its-kind effort to draw eyeballs to the fact that the previous administration’s porous border didn’t just put families in border states at risk, many across the country were in harm's way.'

The website text accuses the US government of hiding illegal immigrants from Americans for 60 years. 

'Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives,' it states. 

'They've shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences.'

'With one exception - they do not belong here,' the website text continued.

A running counter on the website claims more than 3.1 million 'encounters,' with the figure continuing to climb as of Thursday evening.  The site does not explain what period the tally covers.

'President Trump was the first to call out the real danger Aliens pose to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation,' the website reads. 

The website sparked backlash from members of the UFO community, who accused the White House of 'hijacking the language of disclosure for an immigration campaign'

The site is packed with UFO disclosure language, telling people not to be alarmed if they witness an alien abduction.

'The Alien is in good hands. We will take care of it… and return it safely to its place of origin,' it reads.

The site also includes a heat map of the US featuring immigration arrest statistics pulled from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data

The website, however, has led many people to believe that the Trump administration may not be taking disclosure as seriously as it seemed. 

One X user posted: 'There is clearly something going on with UAP (should have never changed from UFO) and conflating "illegal aliens" with "aliens/extraterrestrials" is f***ing stupid. 

'And everyone was thinking this administration was taking disclosure seriously, and then you drop this sad attempt at being witty and punny.'

Other X users did not seem surprised about the true purpose of the domain, with one saying: 'Wait, you really thought there were real aliens the government was going to tell us about? 

'Aliens are almost certainly real, but none of the fuzzy footage, weird radar signals or anything else this gov could release will be aliens.'

The frustration comes as the President released troves of UFO files in the past month, promising Americans transparency. 

The White House has been approached for comment.

Why now?: The list arrives just before 'Disclosure Day,' amplifying interest in its story of extraterrestrial disclosure.

Real cases revisited: The documentaries revisit events like the Phoenix Lights and UFOs near nuclear sites, using testimony and official documents.

From fringe to formal: They reflect UFOs moving into serious arenas such as congressional hearings and mainstream media coverage.

Lasers staan op het punt een militaire revolutie teweeg te brengen in de strijd tegen drones

Key takeaways

• Lasertechnologie zal traditionele raketsystemen voor droneverdediging vervangen.
• Elektromagnetische kanonnen neutraliseren bedreigingen door interne microchips te vernietigen.

Yuri Knutov, een specialist in luchtverdediging, suggereert dat de introductie van elektromagnetische wapens en gevechtslasers de strategie voor het bestrijden van onbemande luchtvaartuigen fundamenteel zou kunnen veranderen, wat mogelijk een grote militaire verschuiving teweeg zou brengen.

Nog niet voor direct

Terwijl de huidige droneverdediging sterk leunt op raketsystemen zoals de Tor en Pantsir, stelt Knutov dat de toekomst zich zal concentreren op lasertechnologie. Hoewel hoge kosten en beperkt vermogen momenteel een wijdverbreid gebruik ervan in de weg staan, verwacht hij dat deze technische hindernissen zullen worden overwonnen, wat zal leiden tot een belangrijke doorbraak in de inzet ervan.

De opkomst van elektromagnetische wapens

Naast lasers benadrukte de expert de ontwikkeling van elektromagnetische kanonnen, die zowel door de Verenigde Staten als door China zijn getoond. Deze apparaten zijn ontworpen om de interne microchips van drones te vernietigen, en hun massale integratie in arsenalen zou de moderne oorlogsvoering opnieuw kunnen definiëren. Knutov voorziet een post-drone-revolutie waarin traditionele gevechtsrollen opnieuw worden vormgegeven; zo zouden bijvoorbeeld kunstmatige intelligentie of bediening op afstand menselijke bemanningen in tanks en vliegtuigen kunnen vervangen.

Het conflictlandschap evolueert snel, waarbij tegenstanders op zoek zijn naar innovatieve manieren om verdedigingslinies te omzeilen. Knutov wees erop dat er momenteel pogingen worden ondernomen om drones met behulp van ballonnen op grote hoogte diep in Russisch grondgebied te brengen. Omdat deze dragers op hoogtes opereren die detectie en onderschepping bemoeilijken, vormen ze een unieke bedreiging. Hij merkte op dat terwijl de Sovjet-Unie vroeger onderscheppingsvliegtuigen en S-200- of S-75-systemen gebruikte voor dergelijke doelen, de moderne aanpak is verschoven naar lasers.

Regels herschrijven

Deze overgang is al duidelijk zichtbaar bij het Amerikaanse leger, waar grondgebonden lasers worden gebruikt om weerballonnen uit te schakelen en ongeveer een derde van de torpedobootjagers nu is uitgerust met lasercapaciteiten. Volgens Knutov zullen deze ontwikkelingen op het gebied van fysieke wapens de regels voor het gebruik van geweld in de strijd tegen drones in wezen herschrijven.

Unexplained Flying Discs and Green Orbs: Pentagon Releases New Batch of Declassified UFO Files And Videos

Trump's declassification initiative unveils mysterious UFO footage and documents, sparking global intrigue.

The Pentagon has released a fresh cache of declassified UFO files in Washington on Friday, 22 May 2026, unveiling more than 50 videos and documents that show unexplained green orbs, flying discs, and other strange objects in the sky under an order from President Donald Trump.

For context, the new material forms part of an ongoing declassification push that Trump has presented as a transparency drive on what the US military now calls 'unidentified anomalous phenomena', or UAPs.

According to the Pentagon, the first batch of documents and footage, some dating back to the late 1940s, attracted more than a billion views worldwide and fuelled a new, and often confused, public conversation about what exactly the government knows.

Declassified UFO Files Show Orbs, Discs And 'Instant Acceleration'

The latest declassified UFO files include infrared footage from a US Coast Guard sensor recorded in April 2024. The clip appears to show a small, bright object moving close to an aircraft somewhere over the south-eastern United States, though officials have not specified an exact location. The object does not resemble any conventional aircraft in the grainy imagery and is listed as unexplained.

Another recording in the release, labelled 'Syrian UAP instant acceleration,' was captured by an infrared sensor aboard a US military platform in 2021 and then uploaded to a classified network in 2024. The Pentagon has not provided a detailed breakdown of what 'instant acceleration' means in this context, and nothing in the documents offers a firm technical assessment of the manoeuvre, which leaves outsiders guessing how unusual the movement really was.

There is also footage from an undisclosed site in the area covered by US Central Command, recorded in 2020. In that clip, officials say, a spherical object appears to move steadily over a populated area before climbing higher and vanishing into the sky. The Pentagon does not identify the country or city, and there is no independent verification of when or where the video was taken beyond the military's own description, so those particulars should be treated with a degree of caution.

Despite the dramatic descriptions, US defence officials are still officially in the realm of mystery rather than aliens. The Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which has been tasked with cataloguing and assessing UAP reports, acknowledges that many of the incidents in the declassified UFO files remain 'unresolved' and resist easy explanation. At the same time, the office says it has not found evidence that any of the objects are linked to extra-terrestrial life.

He contrasted his approach with what he described as the failures of 'previous Administrations' to be transparent and told followers that, with the new documents and videos, 'the people can decide for themselves, 'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?' Have Fun and Enjoy!'

That pitch to public curiosity has clearly worked on one level. Pentagon spokespeople say the earlier tranche of material drew global attention on a scale they had not anticipated, with more than a billion views across platforms. Whether the new files provide much clarity is another matter.

One of the more striking written accounts in the latest documents comes from a senior US intelligence official who reported seeing 'two large orbs flare up' alongside a helicopter during a mission last year. The orbs were described as 'orange with a white or yellow centre, and emitted light in all directions.'

According to the report, fighter aircraft were scrambled in an attempt to identify the objects, but failed. The same orbs instead reportedly began 'chasing' the fighters before disappearing. 'We were virtually speechless after these observations,' the official said.

Here again, the paperwork offers no final explanation. There are no disclosed radar tracks, no engineering analysis, and no follow-up photographs that might resolve whether the orbs were some sort of atmospheric effect, a misidentified human-made system, or something stranger. Without that data, readers are left, as so often with these declassified UFO files, with vivid testimony and scant corroboration.

The Pentagon insists that each case has been logged and investigated through formal channels within AARO. Officials repeat that no extra-terrestrial activity has been substantiated, yet they also concede that a portion of sightings sit in a grey zone where current information is simply insufficient to draw confident conclusions. In other words, the government is finally showing its workings, but the equations still do not always add up.

Given that key technical details, such as sensor specifications, exact coordinates, and full-length videos, are not being released, outside analysts cannot independently verify most of the claims. Nothing in the newly public material confirms alien craft, and nothing conclusively debunks that possibility either. On the central question Trump posed, the honest answer for now is that not everything is confirmed, and some of it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Infamous Tri-State UFO encounter is missing from new government files

Jon Webb  -  Evansville Courier & Press

EVANSVILLE – If you wanted to know more about the goblins, you're out of luck.

Among the hundreds of files and thousands of pages of UFO-centric material released in waves by the U.S. government this month, none of them go into detail about Evansville-area sightings, a review by the Courier & Press found.

That includes the most infamous supernatural event in Tri-State history: the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter.

The release follows an executive order by Trump directing federal agencies to make more UAP-related material public.

(US Department of War)

The incident unfolded in and around a cramped farmhouse in Christian County, Kentucky on Aug. 21, 1955. According to the official story, multiple families that evening watched through the window as some bizarre cross between a flying saucer and glowing, airborne bathtub spiraled into a nearby field.

Within minutes, herds of squat-green monsters surrounded their home. The beasts were no more than three-feet tall, with eyes that shimmered at the outskirts of their skulls. They seemed to be wearing silver suits. That, or they were covered in tinfoil.

They multiplied by the second, pressing their faces against the windows and seizing the hair of a man who tried to run out the door. That's when Elmer and John Sutton grabbed a shotgun and .22-caliber pistol and went to work. They later told authorities they sprayed the little guys with bullets, only to watch them bounce off.

“I hold my hands to God,” Elmer Sutton told the Evansville Press the next day, “and swear on my mother this is true.”

Authorities weren't so sure. One Christian County sheriff's deputy dismissed the story as a product of witnesses' imaginations. And subsequent searches of the area never uncovered the supposed downed aircraft.

Still, the incident became a permanent staple in UFO lore. The History Channel even credits it for launching the phrase "little green men."

None of that is enough to warrant a mention in the "Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters," or PURSUE. Starting on May 8, the newly christened Department of War began releasing previously confidential government files connected to UFO sightings and intelligence. A second batch came on May 22.

The trove includes everything from videos to audio to PDFs of compiled reports, some of which that go on for more than 200 pages.

While it contains several gems – grainy footage of strange crafts; the story of a French farmer paralyzed by weapon-toting gremlins; Buzz Aldrin describing strange flashes of light during his flight on Apollo 11 – actual investigations into the millions of sightings reported across the country over the years are sorely lacking. It falls well short of the massive disclosure for which extraterrestrial researchers have pined for decades. Pictures of aliens at Roswell, if they exist, remain under wraps.

What the files say, and why the Hopkinsville goblins don't appear

Some of the longest collections come courtesy of the FBI, and are split into 10 mostly chronological sections.

Each are stuffed with newspaper clippings and a variety of reports. Apparently an inordinate number of people in the 1940s and '50s wrote letters to then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover each time a flying saucer crossed their minds. Some of the letters are typed, while others are scrawled freehand on hotel or personalized stationary. Hoover often replied via form letters, saying he'd passed their concerns onto the military.

Section 8 covers the time period in which the Hopkinsville encounter took place.

On July 26, 1955, the FBI received what agents called a "rambling and partly incoherent letter" from a woman writing from the Hotel Gralynn in Miami, Florida. She claimed flying saucers "and worse" were attacking the U.S. "via hail, tornadoes and so-called weather." She asked if Hoover and other agents could come down and help her watch the skies.

Right after that letter, the records leap from late July to mid-October, skipping over the Hopkinsville time frame entirely. The only mention of it comes two sections later, when it's briefly referenced in a clipping of a 1966 San Francisco Examiner column that chronicled the UFO craze.

"Sometimes the alleged sightings spilled over into the bizarre," the column read. "A space ship full of little men allegedly landed in a farm yard near Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The little men glowed, and they were described as 'three feet tall, with eyes like saucers and hands like claws.'"

In 1978, Isabel Davis and Ted Bloecher penned "Close Encounter at Kelly and Others of 1955" for the Center for UFO Studies. Quoting the U.S. Air Force, which helmed the infamous Project Blue Book inquiry into UFO reports between 1947 and 1969, they wrote that the Hopkinsville encounter was never officially reported to the government. Naturally, that would be one reason it doesn't appear in the newly released files.

But other reports dispute that, they said.

The Aug. 22 edition of the Evansville Press, for example, quoted Christian County Sheriff's deputies as saying Fort Campbell sent an Air Force major to investigate. The then-Hopkinsville police chief also said federal authorities came on scene.

Maybe those reports, if they exist, will land in the next batch of files. Until then, just like they have for the last 71 years, the goblins will remain a mystery.

About 66 million years ago, a massive celestial object with a diameter of about 10 km struck the area of the modern-day Yucatán Peninsula. It is a proven scientific fact that this impact triggered a mass extinction and left behind the gigantic Chicxulub crater. This theory was convincingly substantiated as early as 1980 by Luis and Walter Alvarez, along with their colleagues.

However, a study published in the prestigious journal Scientific Reports offers a new, somewhat provocative perspective. The authors of the paper, Kunio Kaiho of Tohoku University and Naga Oshima of the Japan Meteorological Research Institute, have put forward a bold hypothesis: the impact site played an absolutely decisive role in the extinction of the dinosaurs.

The fact is that the asteroid struck a shallow tropical sea, the seabed of which was covered with layered sulfur-rich rocks and vast deposits of buried hydrocarbons. Scientists believe that if an asteroid of the same size had struck most other parts of the globe, a mass extinction would not have occurred at all.

Climate shock

The researchers’ main argument is that it was not the explosion itself that wiped out the dinosaurs, but rather the sudden and devastating climate shock that followed the impact. The immense heat from the impact literally burned off the hydrocarbons in the shallow-water sediments. As a result, massive amounts of soot rose into the stratosphere, blocking sunlight for years.

This dense cloud cover triggered an extreme global cooling event. According to the model’s authors, the average global temperature dropped by 8–11 °C, with the decline being particularly pronounced on land and accompanied by a catastrophic decrease in precipitation.

Using a comprehensive climate model that combines data on the atmosphere and oceans, scientists sought to answer the question: How many places on Earth at that time could have triggered such a reaction? Their answer: only about 13% of the planet’s surface. Only coastal areas that were exceptionally rich in hydrocarbons (such as Chicxulub) could have released enough soot to cause a prolonged darkening of the sky and a deadly cooling. Most of the Earth, including the deep-sea ocean floor, contained significantly fewer of these compounds. Consequently, an impact in deeper regions of the planet would have caused only a moderate drop in temperature, which would not have been sufficient to bring about the end of the Age of Dinosaurs.

The worst-case scenario

The geological composition of the target is not the only factor in this perfect storm. In 2020, a team of scientists from Imperial College London, led by Gareth Collins, demonstrated that the geometry of the impact was equally significant. After carefully reconstructing the underground structure of the Chicxulub crater, they discovered that the space debris struck the Earth at an extremely steep angle—about 60°. According to their modeling, it is precisely this steep trajectory that ensures the release of the maximum amount of vaporized rock and climate-active gases into the atmosphere. Oblique or nearly vertical impacts would have had much milder consequences.

An asteroid hitting Earth

These two independent studies complement each other. One focuses on soil chemistry, while the other focuses on the angle of impact. Taken together, they indicate that the event on the Yucatán Peninsula resulted in the worst, most destructive set of consequences of all those mathematically possible.

Limitations of the hypothesis

Despite the soundness of the arguments, these conclusions are not considered definitively proven within the scientific community, and several important limitations should be taken into account.

First, the claim of an “unfortunate coincidence” cannot be verified in practice. We don’t have a second Earth on which to conduct an experiment, so the 13% probability is not a measurable fact, but merely a specific result of a computer model.

Second, the mechanism involving hydrocarbon soot is just one of the popular interpretations. Many scientists believe that sulfate aerosols formed from sulfur were the main factor behind the cooling. And in 2023, a significant study was published proving the crucial role of fine silicate dust in blocking sunlight.

In addition, there is still intense scientific debate surrounding the Deccan Traps—a period of incredibly massive volcanic eruptions in present-day India that occurred concurrently with the meteorite impact. The extent of their impact on Cretaceous ecosystems has not yet been fully determined.

Nevertheless, a 2017 article sheds light on an extremely interesting possibility. While it does not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that dinosaurs would have survived under different circumstances, it clearly illustrates that the fate of the planet’s rulers depended on the composition of a few kilometers of rock in one specific corner of the world. The survival of entire biological species turns out to be much closer to a simple coin toss than one might have imagined. Whether this theory will gain traction in the future depends on the development of geological reconstructions and further evidence.

Previously, scientists reported that they had identified the origin of the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Disclosure Day has been lauded as Steven Spielberg's 'best film in 20 years' as the first reviews flood in ahead of its release. 

The science fiction movie, out on June 12, stars Emily Blunt, 43, as Margaret Fairchild, a Kansas City meteorologist and former journalist at the centre of a massive government conspiracy unraveling.

Emily's performance has been praised as 'incredible' as she stars alongside Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo in the David Koepp screenplay.

It was first reported in April 2024 that Spielberg's next project would be a UFO movie, with filming taking place from February to May last year in New York, New Jersey and Atlanta.

After a press viewing, one senior entertainment reporter wrote on X: 'I loved Disclosure Day. A dense roller-coaster ride blending chase film, love story, & mystery, all wrapped in sci-fi wonder. 

'It's Spielberg's best film in 20 years, filled w/ all the magic that makes his films so special, plus an all-time character/performance by Emily Blunt.'

Meanwhile, Collider's Editor-in-Chief, Steven Weintraub, wrote: 'In a shock to absolutely no one, Steven Spielberg has delivered another towering home run with Disclosure Day.

'I could go on and on about what I loved, but I was lucky enough to see the movie knowing almost nothing, and I strongly recommend you do the same. Stop watching the trailers. The one thing I will say: Emily Blunt is incredible. 

'I know big summer movies aren't usually the kinds of performances that get awards-season attention, but once people see what she does in this…'.

Elsewhere, film reporter Bill Bria also praised Emily's 'accomplished performance', and called the movie 'riveting, moving stuff.'

Rotten Tomatoes, meanwhile, branded Disclosure Day 'absolutely phenomenal', with their reviewer penning: 'I was hanging onto every word, captivated by the story as it all played out. 

'The score perfectly elevates every single scene. Part mystery, part Twilight Zone, something new entirely…WOW.'

Disclosure Day marks the 37th film that Spielberg has directed. 

A synopsis for the film reads: 'If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? 

'This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to… Disclosure Day.'

It was first reported in April 2024, that Spielberg's next project would be a UFO movie, with filming taking place from February to May 2025 in New York, New Jersey and Atlanta

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

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

That film seemed to set the director on the path about the unknown, as his 1977 Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released, followed by E.T in 1982.

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

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

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

BREAKING NEWS - UFO and alien 'evidence' to take center stage on Capitol Hill in just DAYS

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

Supporters of UFO disclosure say the movement has reached a tipping point.

With President Donald Trump ordering the declassification of UAP-related materials and public interest surging worldwide, a coalition of lawmakers, whistleblowers and researchers is preparing what they describe as a historic push for transparency.

On June 9, David Grusch and several members of Congress will gather at the US Capitol to call for the public release of UFO-related evidence he says remains hidden in classified government channels. 

Grusch previously testified under oath before Congress in 2023, claiming he had firsthand knowledge of secret government programs involving technology of non-human origin.

The former intelligence officer is expected to outline why he believes those materials should now be reviewed and released to the public.

'President Trump now has an historic opportunity; this press conference is about moving from testimony to action,' Grusch said. 'Let the American people judge the facts for themselves.'

The event comes after the Trump administration has released two batches of UFO files this month, with the first dump on May 8. 

Investigative filmmaker and moderator of the meeting, James Fox, said: 'The public deserves real answers, Congress deserves access, and reality should not be classified. If our requests are fulfilled, this could change the course of history.' 

The second batch of UFO files released by the Pentagon included a video of a mysterious object in the sky

The event, set for 1pm ET, will feature remarks from Representatives Eric Burlison, Jared Moskowitz, Anna Paulina Luna and Tim Burchett, with additional participants to be announced.

Burlison said in a press release: 'President Trump is the first president to take concrete steps towards transparency on UAP. 

'The recent releases are an important start, so now it's the obligation of Congress to make sure career intelligence officials don't obstruct his directive, in order to prevent selective disclosure or another dead end.'

Officials said additional releases from agencies, including the CIA, are expected in the coming weeks as pressure grows for greater transparency surrounding UFO investigations.

For decades, many UFO-related records remained locked away due to Cold War secrecy, national security concerns and fears about exposing sensitive military technology detected by radar and surveillance systems.

Critics have long argued that successive administrations avoided publicly acknowledging unexplained cases out of concern over public backlash, institutional embarrassment and growing conspiracy theories surrounding UFO investigations.

On Wednesday, President Trump held a Cabinet meeting where he said: 'We’re releasing a lot of information having to do with extraterrestrial... things and people are totally fascinated by it.

'It's literally trending number one, can you believe it?'

David Grusch (center) previously testified under oath before Congress in 2023, claiming he had firsthand knowledge of secret government programs involving technology of non-human origin

Grusch testified alongside two other military whistleblowers, Ryan Graves, an esteemed former pilot, and Navy veteran fighter pilot Commander David Fravor, who witnessed the 2004 'Tic Tac' UFO.

House lawmakers held the hearing to pressure the executive branch to release more information about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) or UFOs.

This significant event was the first time these three men, or any individual, had sworn under oath about UFO encounters.

Graves, a former F-18 pilot with over a decade of service in the US Navy, was the first to give opening statements.

'My testimony is based on information I've been given by individuals with a long-standing track record of legitimacy and service to this country, many of whom have shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation and classified oral testimony to myself and many various colleagues,' he told lawmakers, stating he was driven to share it by a 'commitment to truth and transparency.'

He told the committee that he and more than 30 aircrew members and veterans have experienced UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomena, along with members of Congress who have confided in him.

Graves said, as an F-18 pilot in the Red Rippers, their squadron was 'split by UAP' during a training mission near Virginia Beach in 2014.

He described the object as 'dark gray or black inside a transparent sphere.' It was about 15 feet in diameter and came within 50 feet of the lead aircraft.

The mission commander ended the flight, and the squadron submitted a safety report. Graves continued to explain.

'This story is more common than we expect,' Graves said, 'more than 30 witnesses had told his group about similar sightings.'

'Often, they are veterans with decades of flying experience,' he added.

Graves also said: 'UAPs are in our airspace but are grossly underreported.'

Grusch spoke next, providing details about how the US government has 'intact and partially intact' extraterrestrial vehicles.

He has previously said the US has run a top-secret UFO retrieval program for decades and claimed the 'Vatican was involved' in the first-ever UFO crash.

Grusch said last month that the first recovery of a UFO was in Magenta, Italy, in 1933, and Mussolini's Italian government held it until 1944 through 1945, when Pope Pius XII tipped America off about it.

'Due to my extensive executive-level intelligence support duties, I was cleared to literally all relevant compartments and in a position of extreme trust in both my military and civilian capacities,' Grusch said during Wednesday's hearing.

'I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access to that additional read-on when I requested it.'

Grusch also said he had faced brutal retaliation after coming forward about his firsthand accounts of UFOs.

'I do have knowledge of active planned reprisal activity against myself and other colleagues.

'There were certain colleagues of mine who were brutally administratively attacked. It makes me very upset as a leader to see that happen to other co-workers and superiors of mine in the last three years,' Grusch added.

Fravor reminded the world about his infamous 2004 encounter with the 'Tic Tac' UFO.

'I'd like to say that the tic tac object we engaged in 2004 was far superior to anything that we had at the time, have today or looking to develop in the next 10 years, he said.

'If we, in fact, have programs that possess this technology, it needs to have oversight from those people that the citizens of this country elected in office to represent what is best for the United States and best for the citizens.'

Fravor described the Tic Tac object as being 'perfectly white, smooth and had no windows,' with 'two little objects that came out of the bottom.'

White House sparks outrage after revealing true purpose of 'aliens.gov' after months of UFO speculations

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

The White House has finally launched its mysterious 'aliens.gov' website, revealing it was never meant for UFO disclosure. 

The domain, which went live Thursday, opens with a Star Wars-style crawl with ominous text that warns, 'They walk among us,' teasing what appears to be a decades-long government secret involving extraterrestrial life living undetected among ordinary Americans.

Only after scrolling further do visitors discover the site is not about such species at all, but instead features a live ticker tracking federal law enforcement 'encounters' involving migrants living in the US illegally, alongside immigration enforcement data and arrest statistics. 

The domain, which the Trump administration secured in March, features a searchable database detailing ICE arrests, including detainees' alleged criminal histories, nationality, arrest records and purported gang ties. 

It also directs visitors to an ICE reporting portal labeled for 'suspicious aliens' while claiming government leaders spent decades concealing what it describes as an ongoing 'invasion.' 

The rollout immediately sparked backlash from members of the UFO community, who accused the White House of 'hijacking the language of disclosure for an immigration campaign.'

Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell appeared to anticipate the move hours before the website launched, posting on X: 'I suspect tonight the White House is going to punk the American people.'

'They'll use the massive public interest in UAP, in "aliens," and weaponize that curiosity for a political message that has nothing to do with the global mystery surrounding UFOs,' he wrote.

The White House has finally launched its mysterious 'aliens.gov' website - but the site is not about extraterrestrials at all, rather migrants living in the US illegally 

A White House official told Fox News Digital: 'This is a first-of-its-kind effort to draw eyeballs to the fact that the previous administration’s porous border didn’t just put families in border states at risk, many across the country were in harm's way.'

The website text accuses the US government of hiding illegal immigrants from Americans for 60 years. 

'Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives,' it states. 

'They've shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences.'

'With one exception - they do not belong here,' the website text continued.

A running counter on the website claims more than 3.1 million 'encounters,' with the figure continuing to climb as of Thursday evening.  The site does not explain what period the tally covers.

'President Trump was the first to call out the real danger Aliens pose to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation,' the website reads. 

The website sparked backlash from members of the UFO community, who accused the White House of 'hijacking the language of disclosure for an immigration campaign'

The site is packed with UFO disclosure language, telling people not to be alarmed if they witness an alien abduction.

'The Alien is in good hands. We will take care of it… and return it safely to its place of origin,' it reads.

The site also includes a heat map of the US featuring immigration arrest statistics pulled from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data

The website, however, has led many people to believe that the Trump administration may not be taking disclosure as seriously as it seemed. 

One X user posted: 'There is clearly something going on with UAP (should have never changed from UFO) and conflating "illegal aliens" with "aliens/extraterrestrials" is f***ing stupid. 

'And everyone was thinking this administration was taking disclosure seriously, and then you drop this sad attempt at being witty and punny.'

Other X users did not seem surprised about the true purpose of the domain, with one saying: 'Wait, you really thought there were real aliens the government was going to tell us about? 

'Aliens are almost certainly real, but none of the fuzzy footage, weird radar signals or anything else this gov could release will be aliens.'

The frustration comes as the President released troves of UFO files in the past month, promising Americans transparency.

Chilling new twist in murder case connected to missing scientists

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

The mystery surrounding the murder of an astrophysicist linked to a string of strange scientist deaths and disappearances in the US has taken a new twist in court.

Carl Grillmair, 67, was shot dead outside his California home on February 16 after stepping onto his front porch around 6am local time.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department charged Freddy Snyder, 29, with murder, carjacking and first-degree residential burglary, alleging he personally used a rifle during the killing.  

Snyder pleaded not guilty to all charges during his arraignment Tuesday, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 5. If convicted on all charges, Snyder faces a potential life sentence in prison.

The veteran California Institute of Technology (Caltech) astronomer helped contribute to the discovery of water on a distant planet, with colleagues describing his work as 'ingenious' and saying the findings could help scientists search for signs of life less than 160 light-years from Earth.

Investigators alleged Snyder armed himself with two rifles in the early morning hours of February 16 and demanded his mother's car keys inside their home. When she refused, he allegedly fired a shot into the ceiling before stealing the vehicle and driving away.

Authorities said Snyder then drove to Grillmair's nearby home, where the scientist stepped outside after noticing a vehicle in his driveway. Grillmair was allegedly shot once in the neck and died on his front porch.

Grillmair's death drew national attention after it emerged alongside a growing number of scientists tied to sensitive aerospace, defense and advanced technology programs who have been reported missing or found dead in recent years. 

Carl Grillmair was killed by a gunshot wound while on his front porch. The scientist have been studying exoplanets and dark matter at the California Institute of Technology

Grillmair dedicated over 40 years to advancing science. According to his Caltech biography, Grillmair specialized in research involving NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, studying galactic structure, dark matter and stellar populations.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J Hochman said in a statement: 'Carl Grillmair was a dedicated Caltech scientist who was ruthlessly shot and killed outside his own home.

'This senseless act of violence has devastated his family and cut short a life devoted to advancing science and improving the world around him. We will ensure justice is served for this victim and his loved ones.' 

Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arrived at Grillmair’s home after receiving a 911 report of an assault involving a firearm and discovered the scientist wounded on his front porch, officials said.

Emergency crews attempted to render aid, but Grillmair was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities said deputies investigating the fatal shooting were simultaneously called to a nearby carjacking involving the same suspect.

Snyder was taken into custody shortly afterward and later formally arrested in connection with the killing, investigators said.

Prosecutors charged Snyder on February 18 with murder, alleging he intentionally fired a rifle and caused Grillmair’s death. 

Grillmair lived in a rural home in Llano, a neighborhood in northern Los Angeles, pictured above. Police responded to reports of assault with a deadly weapon and later arrested a suspect for carjacking and murder 

Retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland, 68, vanished from his New Mexico home without his phone, wearable devices or glasses on February 28

He also faces charges of carjacking and first-degree residential burglary tied to separate incidents, authorities say occurred in December and February.

Court and jail records show Snyder had previously been arrested in December on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle, though the charge was later dismissed for unclear reasons.

A longtime colleague told the Los Angeles Times that Grillmair chose to live in the California desert because the dark skies offered ideal conditions for astronomy, eventually building a private observatory at his home.

While Grillmair's alleged killer had been arrested, no motive was given, leaving some of the public to deem the death mysterious. 

The murder entered the spotlight following the discovery of the disappearance and deaths of other scientists with ties to NASA, nuclear research, aerospace programs and classified projects.

Steven Garcia was last seen on August 28 last year. A source has revealed to the Daily Mail that he worked as a government contractor at a key nuclear weapons facility

Monica Jacinto Reza, 60, was last seen hiking in the rugged San Gabriel Wilderness area within the Angeles National Forest on the trail to Waterman Mountain summit on June 22 last year

This disturbing pattern emerged after retired Air Force General William Neil McCasland vanished on February 28.

The strange circumstances surrounding the general's disappearance were almost identical to four other missing-person cases taking place between May and August 2025 in the Southwest.

Concerningly, all four have been tied to McCasland through his work overseeing the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which has been rumored to study extraterrestrial technology since the 1947 Roswell UFO crash.

While at Wright-Patterson, McCasland oversaw and reportedly approved the funding for scientist Monica Jacinto Reza's work on a space-age metal for rocket engines called Mondaloy.

Reza, 60, disappeared while hiking with friends in California on June 22 last year. She had just become the director of the Materials Processing Group at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

  

Anthony Chavez (left) and Melissa Casias were both employees at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Both disappeared within weeks of each other last year

The three other disappearances all involved workers at some of America's most important nuclear facilities, and all three were last seen walking out of their homes without their phones or keys, just like McCasland.

Steven Garcia, 48, vanished without a trace on August 28 last year. He was last seen leaving his Albuquerque, New Mexico, home on foot, carrying only a handgun.

An anonymous source told the Daily Mail that Garcia was a government contractor working for the Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), a major facility in Albuquerque that manufactures more than 80 percent of all the non-nuclear components that go into building the military's nuclear weapons.

Anthony Chavez and Melissa Casias both worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), one of the nation's most important nuclear research sites.

Chavez, 79, worked at the lab until his retirement in 2017, although his role there has not been made clear. Casias, 54, was an active administrative assistant at the facility and is believed to have had top security clearance.

All three were last seen leaving their homes in New Mexico on foot, leaving behind their cars, keys, wallets and phones before disappearing without a trace. Police have not had any updates in the cases since last year.

In addition to the string of disappearances, five scientists in key areas of research have died over the last few years.

Amy Eskridge was a scientist researching anti-gravity technology before her death in 2022 at age 34

Scientists Nuno Loureiro (left) and Carl Grillmair were both murdered in their own homes after making significant progress in the fields of nuclear fusion and astrophysics

Amy Eskridge was just 34 years old when she allegedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head in Huntsville, Alabama, on June 11, 2022. However, neither the police nor the medical examiners have publicly released any details of an investigation ever taking place.

Before her death, she was openly researching and trying to develop anti-gravity technology, a way to control or cancel out gravity, which could revolutionize space travel and energy production.

Nuclear physicist Nuno Loureiro and astrophysicist Carl Grillmair were both shot to death in their homes in recent months.

Independent investigators have noted that Loureiro's revolutionary work in nuclear fusion may have made him a target of a greater conspiracy against US scientists, as his work may one day upend the energy industry.

Last year, Claudio Neves Valente was identified by Boston authorities as a suspect in the shooting of Loureiro, as well as two Brown University students, Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and Ella Cook.

  

NASA scientists Michael David Hicks (left) and Frank Maiwald, who also worked at the Jet Propulsion Lab, died from unknown circumstances at an early age 

Jason Thomas was found dead after being pulled from a Massachusetts lake on March 17. He had been missing since December 12

After eluding police for days, Valente, 48, died by suicide in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire, on December 16.

Meanwhile, NASA scientists Michael David Hicks and Frank Maiwald, who also worked at the Jet Propulsion Lab, died from unknown circumstances at an early age.

Maiwald, 61, was the lead researcher on a breakthrough that could help future space missions detect clear signs of life on other worlds just 13 months before he died in 2024.

Hicks, whose death came just a year after leaving JPL at age 59, had been involved with the DART Project, NASA’s test to see if humans could deflect dangerous asteroids away from Earth.

In another mysterious incident, Jason Thomas, a pharmaceutical researcher testing cancer treatments at Novartis, was found dead in a Massachusetts lake on

March 17, after disappearing without a trace in December. Local police have claimed there was no foul play suspected.

Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos has lamented a 'very rough day' after his $100 million (£74 million) rocket exploded during a routine test.

The New Glenn rocket erupted into a giant fireball while undergoing a 'hotfire test' on Launch Pad 36 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Bezos said it is 'too early to know the root cause' of the anomaly, which sent flames and debris exploding high into the sky.

The rocket, which measures 320 feet (98 metres) tall, has been designed to launch 48 Amazon satellites into low–Earth orbit.

But there are concerns the catastrophic failure could now have repercussions for NASA's Artemis moon mission.

Blue Origin was recently awarded the contract for NASA's moon lander, with expectations that it will launch on one of its rockets later this year.

This is a crucial step in building a permanent 'city on the moon', as the main purpose of the lander is to carry cargo and scientific equipment to the lunar surface.

'We will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available,' said Jared Isaacman, the NASA administrator.

   

The New Glenn rocket erupted into a giant fireball while undergoing a 'hotfire test' on Launch Pad 36 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The explosion caused debris to rain down and sparks to fly over the coast

The test, which took place in the early hours of this morning (UK time), appeared to start normally with the launch pad lighting up and smoke coming out of the engines

The test, which took place in the early hours of this morning (UK time), appeared to start normally with the launch pad lighting up and smoke coming out of the engines.

But it soon turned to disaster when the bottom of the spacecraft exploded into a ball of fire that soon consumed the entire rocket and later the entire launch pad.

Fortunately, there were no reported injuries in the explosion, and Brevard County Emergency Management officials said there was no threat to the general public.

'All personnel are accounted for and safe,' Bezos wrote on X. 'It's too early to know the root cause but we're already working to find it.

'Very rough day, but we'll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It's worth it.'

Elon Musk, who founded rival company SpaceX, commented 'Ad astra per aspera', which loosely translates to 'to the stars through difficulties'.

Static tests such as this are carried out to ensure everything runs smoothly on launch day, which has been slated to be as early as June 4.

However, repairs will likely take months to complete.

Under the plans for the Artemis III mission, scheduled to launch next year, NASA astronauts would practice docking their Orion capsule with landers from both Blue Origin and SpaceX while remaining in orbit.

But with the destruction of the launchpad, Blue Origin may not be able to participate.

A smaller Blue Origin robotic lunar lander, known as Blue Moon Mark I, was also scheduled to launch later this year on a New Glenn rocket.

On Tuesday, NASA also announced it had awarded contracts to Blue Origin for two New Glenn rockets to take rovers to the moon in 2028, for astronauts to drive during the Artemis IV and Artemis V moon missions.

Mr Isaacman has vowed to work with Blue Origin in its investigation.

'Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy–lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult,' he posted on X.

'We will work with our partners to support a thorough investigation of this anomaly, assess near–term mission impacts and get back to launching rockets.'

The disaster comes weeks after the New Glenn rocket failed a mission to deliver a communications satellite into the correct orbit, prompting an investigation. 

'We will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available,' said Jared Isaacman, the NASA administrator

Although the company successfully reused and recovered a booster for the rocket, the uncrewed mission did not deliver the satellite from the company AST SpaceMobile.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in response that it required Blue Origin to conduct a 'mishap investigation', which was completed earlier this month.

'The FAA has approved our NG–3 report, and corrective measures have been implemented,' Blue Origin said last week, explaining that thermal conditions caused one of the rocket's engines to not achieve its full thrust, causing it to miss its target orbit.

This huge UFO disk cloud appeared yesterday over Salt Lake City, Utah and was seen by thousands of people. UFOs can create clouds within their shields and thus the clouds take on the shape of the alien craft. Here its a disk and it was seen all the way to America Fork and beyond, said to be heading towards Skin Walker Ranch.  For a long time I have said, Skin Walker Ranch has an alien base 5km below the ground and this cloaked UFO is huge! About a mile across and heading directly towards the Ranch to drop off and pick up people and supplies.

The White House’s official X page has just posted a cryptic video, accompanied by a chilling question: “Are you listening?” The clip itself lasts less than 10 seconds. It appears to show the shadow of an unidentified figure cast across the ground. At the very beginning, a voice can be heard asking, “Where are they?” 

But who are “they”? What exactly is this post trying to say? And what is it hinting at? 

Some believe the mysterious message could be connected to the growing conversation surrounding UFO disclosure. 

The timing has certainly fueled speculation. Spielberg’s upcoming film Disclosure Day is scheduled for release in the United States on June 12, 2026. According to the synopsis, the story follows a targeted whistleblower racing against time to expose a massive government conspiracy and trigger the extraordinary event that changes human history forever: the day of ultimate alien disclosure. 

In the first video, DAHBOO77 analyzes the strange video clip. The second clip is the original cryptic video posted on X by the White House.
