Astronomers Observing a Supermassive Black Hole Just Had an Unexpected UFO Sighting

Micah Hanks

It’s not the kind of thing astronomers expect to see while observing the powerful effects of a distant supermassive black hole: an unprecedented UFO sighting.

However, that’s precisely what one group of scientists now reports in a preprint paper, who detail the successful detection of one of the strongest UFOs—a black hole phenomenon otherwise known as “ultra-fast outflows”—that astronomers may have ever seen.

The landmark detection was made possible with the XMM-Newton space observatory and NuSTAR X-ray telescope, which allowed the researchers behind the discovery to observe a luminous quasar with origins that date back to “cosmic noon,” revealing a pair of outflow wind components being blasted from the black hole in question.

Cosmic Monsters with Major Appetites

Black holes have more than just large appetites for cosmic material: they also produce significant gas-driven winds from around their accretion disk.

These winds become known as ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) when their strength propels them to greater than ten percent of light speed, and astronomers currently believe they are an important part of what helps black holes regulate their growth, which may also hold for their host galaxies.

One way this occurs is that UFOs help to heat galactic gases that give rise to star formation, a quenching process that most astronomers believe occurred during a period called “cosmic noon,” which occurred between 1.6 and 3.5 billion years after the birth of the universe.

Cosmic Fingerprints of Powerful UFOs

Astronomers can detect ultra-fast outflows based on the “dips” they create in their powerful gusts, which are caused by ionized iron present in their outflow gases. These gases also absorb X-rays along their path away from their black hole originators, which leave “fingerprints” in the form of absorption features that are detectable using X-ray telescopes.

Significantly, these “dips” manifest as a blueshift since they are shifted to higher energies as they move at such high speeds (again, roughly 10% of the speed of light). From the blueshifted energy signatures they comprise, astronomers can determine not only the presence of UFOs, but also the wind speed of their gusty outflows.

In the past, most detections of these high-powered cosmic phenomena have relied on gravitationally lensed quasars. These celestial objects occur when a galaxy or similar feature closer to Earth appears in front of them, magnifying the quasar’s light and significantly brightening its luminosity from our Earthly perspective.

However, lensing of this variety can also present problems, and so astronomers led by Giorgio Lanzuisi of INAF Bologna designed a special system to target more than a dozen hyper-luminous quasars at cosmic noon, as a means of getting a better feel for the dynamics of non-lensed quasars.

“WISSHFUL” Thinking

WISSHFUL is an XMM-Newton multi-year heritage program that Lanzuisi and his colleagues designed for this purpose, whose initial target became a quasar designated WISSH13, whose redshift at 3.294 marks the object’s existence as it appeared approximately 2 billion years after the Big Bang.

WISH13’s black hole also weighs in at close to 2 billion times that of our Sun, which causes it to shine far brighter than normally expected for an object of its estimated mass.

Their work began in the autumn of 2024 by combining observations from XMM-Newton and NuSTAR initially obtained in 2017. From these X-ray images of WISSH12, a pair of distinctive absorption features became evident, which the team determined to have been generated by two separate sources from within the same ultra-fast outflow.

These components were found to travel at different speeds: one moving at close to 30% of the speed of light, while the other at only about 10% of light speed. The slower of these two appears to have been an enduring component of the UFO, while the faster one showed signatures that indicated a more recent appearance. This could mean that it emanates from events that are shorter in duration.

By matching theoretical predictions of a layered wind structure surrounding the black hole, the researchers say their observations align with models that indicate a fast-moving inner “spine” launched from the accretion disk’s innermost regions. Meanwhile, a slower outer “sheath” is also believed to emanate farther from the black hole. The combined outflow components produce an estimated 21 to 24 solar masses of material annually.

The Most Massive UFO Ever Observed? 

Such figures, the team says, represent what is believed to be among the most massive and energetic ultrafast outflows ever observed, a discovery which also marks the highest-redshift ultrafast outflow yet detected in a non-lensed quasar.

Despite their remarkable energetic output, the team says these outflow winds seem to conform to the same essential relationships observed in active galaxies much closer to Earth, suggesting that the processes driving these outflows have remained remarkably consistent across cosmic time.

Going forward, the team says they hope to make additional observations of these powerful cosmic phenomena with help from the new Athena X-ray mission, which they say could help uncover similar winds in even more distant quasars.

The team’s discoveries were detailed in a recent paper, “The WISSHFUL program: the highest redshift UFO discovered in a non-lensed QSO,” which appeared at the preprint arXiv.org server.

Renowned scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson tells US government to 'Show the alien!' after latest UFO disclosure

Renowned scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson tells US government to 'Show the alien!' after latest UFO disclosure

By JACK TOLEDO

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson wants the US government to 'Show the alien!' after the latest UFO disclosure from the Trump administration.

Tyson, 67, joined The Fox News Rundown on Monday, explaining how the overwhelming amount of irrefutable evidence should finally be topped off with a picture of an extraterrestrial being.

'Is it too much to ask at this point for them to just show the alien? That's all, I don't think I'm asking too much here,' Tyson said.

The astrophysicist's request comes after the Trump administration released a third tranche of previously classified UAP files on Friday.

The materials were uploaded to the Department of War's website that morning and include a series of cases that investigators were unable to explain, leaving the nature of the phenomena unresolved.

'We've already been told this, so to say if they rolled out an alien, we'd somehow freak out given the century of alien movies we'd been treated to and alien stories… I don't see that we'd freak out at all,' Tyson said.

'It might even be anticlimactic, given our anticipation for what it could be.'

The astrophysicist continued to explain: 'I would only be shocked if the alien were in fact humanoid because of just the statistics of biological variation on Earth, where we have DNA in common with all other life, and most life is not humanoid on Earth.'

He argued that any alien visitor from another planet would likely look very different from humans and may not even share the same DNA structure.

'So I would be shocked if it was humanoid,' Tyson said. 'But otherwise, I think we're ready for it. Of course, we're ready. We've been ready.'

Among the newly released records is a 2025 FBI report describing a video captured by a citizen in the northeastern US.

According to the witness, a bright object hovered over their backyard as a 'brilliant red sphere' roughly the size of a basketball.

Another never-before-seen video shows what officials described as a 'plasma-like sphere' hovering above a pond at an undisclosed location in the US, appearing to shift shape and brightness as it moved.

Friday's release also includes dozens of long-hidden CIA files about mysterious sightings, revealing that the agency assembled a panel of top scientists to investigate 'flying saucers' amid fears the reports could clog military warning systems and spark mass hysteria.

The materials were quietly uploaded to the Department of War's website on Friday morning and include a series of cases that investigators were unable to definitively explain, leaving the nature of the phenomena unresolved

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement: 'The Department of War is in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency regarding our government's understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

'These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation, and it's time the American people see it for themselves. This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration's earnest commitment to unprecedented transparency.'

According to the Pentagon, there have been 'unprecedented levels of interest' in the UFO files, and the Department of War's website has received over 1.7 billion hits worldwide since its launch on May 8.

A second release took place two weeks later.

Many of the images and videos in today's release were submitted by American citizens, with officials noting that footage was captured using iPhones.

Stonehenge's secret SISTER: Archaeologists discover an ancient monument just three miles away that may have served as a 'prototype' for the famous stones

Stonehenge's secret SISTER: Archaeologists discover an ancient monument just three miles away that may have served as a 'prototype' for the famous stones

  • READ MORE: Expert claims Stonehenge could have been built as a competition 

By WILIAM HUNTER, SENIOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY REPORTER

Archaeologists have discovered a secret sister monument to Stonehenge that might have served as a 'prototype' for the famous stones.

This ancient site is just three miles away from Stonehenge itself, located in the village of Bulford, Wiltshire.

Consisting of two wooden poles placed 400 feet (120 metres) apart, this long–lost monument might appear rather basic at first glance.

However, scientists say the poles would have formed a perfect line pointing to the rising sun during the summer solstice and the setting sun on the winter solstice.

In fact, reconstructions of the ancient sky and landscape show that the deceptively simple structure was built to align with the solstice within one degree of accuracy.

More impressively, archaeologists have dated this structure back to around 5,000 years ago.

That predates the monument we see at Stonehenge by 500 years, making this one of the very oldest examples of a structure built to align with the sun in the British Isles.

Dr Fabio Silva, an archaeologist from Stone x Sky and the Skyscape Academy, says: 'Rather than marking the beginning of a story, Stonehenge now more clearly appears to have emerged from traditions and practices with much deeper roots in this landscape.'

Since any wood has long since rotted away, almost nothing is left of the Bulford ritual site today besides the pits where the poles once stood.

However, these scant clues are already giving archaeologists a fascinating glimpse into Britain's ancient past.

The site of the Bulford poles was first uncovered in 2015, when archaeologists found a network of 48 pits dated to around 2950 BC.

Excavations found that these pits were filled with the remains of pottery, animal bones, flint tools, and charcoal.

It was clear that large numbers of people gathered in this area over a relatively short period of time, but archaeologists weren't sure what they were gathering for.

Now, the alignment of the poles suggests that people likely gathered by this simple monument to celebrate the solstices before more complex, permanent structures could be built.

While Stonehenge and the Bulford site have different layouts, this shows that the 'technology' of tracing the sun's alignment on the horizon existed long before the more famous structure was built.

In fact, the researchers suggest that Bulford and Stonehenge might have had an even closer connection.

The site, located in Bulford, Wiltshire, consisted of two wooden poles (illustrated in red) that were placed to align with the sun on the summer and winter solstices

The five key unanswered questions about Stonehenge

  1. How were the stones moved?
  2. Why did its builders choose the Salisbury Plain?
  3. Why was it built and for what purpose?
  4. Why did people change its shape so often?
  5. Where are all the missing stones? 

Phil Harding, Archaeologist at Wessex Archaeology and former host of Time Team, told the Daily Mail that some of the people who built Bulford might have been buried in the 'Aubrey Holes' at Stonehenge, where cremated remains have been found.

He said: 'Even if the people who visited Bulford are not buried at Stonehenge, there is every possibility that the people who visited Bulford may have also visited Stonehenge, and may even have been involved in the construction of Stonehenge.'

The pits at Bulford date back to almost the exact same period that the first simple earthworks were being put up at the site of Stonehenge.

Mr Harding even suggests that a similar pole structure might have been part of the earliest phases of Stonehenge, but later developments would have erased any trace of the pits.

'These people lived in a world that was controlled by the heavens, by climate, by natural circumstances,' he says.

'They cared about their world and the natural processes of the sun... this [the solstice] must have been such a major event in their lifetimes.'

This discovery also helps to solve the mystery of an extremely rare disc–shaped knife found in one of the pits.

Mr Harding found this round knife buried vertically in a pit located almost exactly on the line of the solstice.

'It's an absolutely exquisite object,' Mr Harding says.

'That is a difficult craft to exercise to that level of perfection. It's almost inconceivable that you would just throw it away.'

Now, Mr Harding says the disc could have been a symbolic reference to the disk of the sun, deliberately placed in a sort of 'viewing station' for the solstice.

Archaeologists still debate exactly what Stonehenge and similar sites, like the Bulford poles, would have been used for.

However, their alignment with the solstice is a strong indication that they had a spiritual or religious function besides simple timekeeping.

Dr Matt Leivers, Senior Research Manager at Wessex Archaeology, says: 'When we talk about the solstice, we're talking about religion. About how prehistoric peoples understood the cosmos, the world, and their place in it.

'What we see at Bulford, and later at Stonehenge, is a way of celebrating and marking the passage of time, but it's also about making sure the world keeps working as it should.' 

'It's likely their way of saying to their deities, please keep us in mind, keep us warm and safe. It's a religious event. That's why it's so important'

The Stonehenge monument standing today was the final stage of a four part building project that ended 3,500 years ago

Stonehenge is one of the most prominent prehistoric monuments in Britain. The Stonehenge that can be seen today is the final stage that was completed about 3,500 years ago. 

According to the monument's website, Stonehenge was built in four stages:   

First stage: The first version of Stonehenge was a large earthwork or Henge, comprising a ditch, bank and the Aubrey holes, all probably built around 3100 BC. 

The Aubrey  holes are round pits in the chalk, about one metre (3.3 feet) wide and deep, with steep sides and flat bottoms. 

Stonehenge (pictured) is one of the most prominent prehistoric monuments in Britain

They form a circle about 86.6 metres (284 feet) in diameter. 

Excavations revealed cremated human bones in some of the chalk filling, but the holes themselves were likely not made to be used as graves, but as part of a religious ceremony.

After this first stage, Stonehenge was abandoned and left untouched for more than 1,000 years. 

Second stage: The second and most dramatic stage of Stonehenge started around 2150 years BC, when about 82 bluestones from the Preseli mountains in south-west Wales were transported to the site. It's thought that the stones, some of which weigh four tonnes each, were dragged on rollers and sledges to the waters at Milford Haven, where they were loaded onto rafts.

They were carried on water along the south coast of Wales and up the rivers Avon and Frome, before being dragged overland again near Warminster and Wiltshire.

The final stage of the journey was mainly by water, down the river Wylye to Salisbury, then the Salisbury Avon to west Amesbury. 

The journey spanned nearly 240 miles, and once at the site, the stones were set up in the centre to form an incomplete double circle. 

During the same period, the original entrance was widened and a pair of Heel Stones were erected. The nearer part of the Avenue, connecting Stonehenge with the River Avon, was built aligned with the midsummer sunrise. 

Third stage: The third stage of Stonehenge, which took place about 2000 years BC, saw the arrival of the sarsen stones (a type of sandstone), which were larger than the bluestones.

They were likely brought from the Marlborough Downs (40 kilometres, or 25 miles, north of Stonehenge). 

The largest of the sarsen stones transported to Stonehenge weighs 50 tonnes, and transportation by water would not have been possible, so it's suspected that they were transported using sledges and ropes. 

Calculations have shown that it would have taken 500 men using leather ropes to pull one stone, with an extra 100 men needed to lay the rollers in front of the sledge.

These stones were arranged in an outer circle with a continuous run of lintels - horizontal supports. 

Inside the circle, five trilithons - structures consisting of two upright stones and a third across the top as a lintel - were placed in a horseshoe arrangement, which can still be seen today. 

Final stage: The fourth and final stage took place just after 1500 years BC, when the smaller bluestones were rearranged in the horseshoe and circle that can be seen today.

The original number of stones in the bluestone circle was probably around 60, but these have since been removed or broken up. Some remain as stumps below ground level.

What would happen if aliens invaded Earth: Terrifying report reveals how extraterrestrials could trigger political, economic and spiritual CHAOS

What would happen if aliens invaded Earth: Terrifying report reveals how extraterrestrials could trigger political, economic and spiritual CHAOS

  • READ MORE: Scientist reveals what our first contact with aliens will look like 

By WILIAM HUNTER, SENIOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY REPORTER

An alien invasion might sound like science fiction, but a scientist has now revealed what the terrifying consequences of an encounter might be.

Professor Avi Loeb, head of Harvard University's Galileo Project, claims our first encounter with an alien invader won't resemble sci–fi movies like E.T or War of the Worlds.

Rather than a biological, flesh and blood alien, Professor Loeb explains that we are more likely to be met by a 'technological device guided by AI'.

The arrival of such a device would pose a 'potential threat to all earthlings', he claims – sparking political, economic, and spiritual chaos around the world.

Professor Loeb told the Daily Mail that 'the stock market may crash due to the uncertainty about the impact of the encounter on the future of humanity.'

Likewise, the fact that the aliens' technology would likely outclass our own would not only be humbling for human intelligence – but would also make their technology a grave threat to humanity.

Professor Loeb said in a blog post: 'It would be foolish of me to forecast what this blind date of interstellar proportions might look like.

'One thing is clear: we must observe our dating partner to learn more about their qualities and intent and make sure that it is not a serial killer.'

A scientist says that the arrival of an alien craft in our solar system would trigger global chaos, with the stock markets collapsing due to instability. Pictured: The 1996 sci-fi film Independence Day

Professor Loeb suggests that aliens won't invade Earth in biological form, partly due to the vast distances between our planet and the nearest habitable worlds.

Even the very closest habitable world, Proxima Centauri b, is located a staggering 4.2 light–years from Earth.

The preference for technology over living organisms also reflects trends in our own space exploration efforts, which tend to use robotic probes instead of human crews.

If one of these artificial emissaries arrived on Earth, Professor Loeb suggests that its very presence would send shockwaves through human society.

Just as astronomers rattled the world by showing that Earth wasn't at the centre of the cosmos, an encounter with aliens would shift humanity's sense of importance.

'I would not regard it as a crisis but rather as a realization that we are not at the top of the food chain, cosmologically speaking,' Professor Loeb told the Daily Mail.

It wouldn't just be religious believers who would be psychologically shaken by this revelation.

Secular individuals will also be shaken by the realisation that alien technology is far more advanced than our own.

Experts say that our first encounter with aliens won't be with biological creatures, but with an AI-controlled technological artefact like a probe or robot (stock image)

Professor Loeb says this will come from an understanding that 'there is a more accomplished sibling in our family in intelligent civilizations.'

Similarly, meeting our technologically advanced cosmic siblings would have a 'profound effect' on international geopolitics.

'It would pose a potential threat to all earthlings because we are all in the same boat,' says Professor Loeb.

However, this common threat could actually help bring Earth's divided nations together in collective self defence.

Professor Loeb says: 'An encounter with alien technology could bring together all humans on Earth in the same way that a knock on the door by a stranger quiets down arguments among family members within the room. 

'It will definitely bring us to a better place by delivering a much needed sense of humility and a change of priorities towards space exploration and cooperation among humans, since we are all in the boat.' 

However, exactly what aliens would want with us or how they would treat our civilisation depends on the nature of the aliens involved.

Professor Loeb has previously suggested that alien civilisations might send technological probes to our solar system as a 'reconnaissance mission'.

Since Earth has a stable atmosphere, liquid water, and sits in its star's habitable zone, it is natural that civilisations would want to investigate.

In exactly the same way that human astronomers study exoplanets from Earth, alien scientists might simply examine Earth out of curiosity or in the search for a new home.

But it is also possible that an alien civilisation might have more malicious plans for our planet.

For example, Professor Loeb has put forward the idea that ancient visitors might have polluted the atmosphere enough to trigger the Permian Extinction, the largest extinction event in Earth's history.

About 252 million years ago, 96 per cent of marine species were killed by a global warming event that left ocean creatures unable to breathe.

While the majority of scientists agree that this was caused by the greenhouse gases from volcanic eruptions, Professor Loeb suggests there could be a technological explanation instead.

While these ideas might seem far–fetched, Professor Loeb insists that these theories should be treated like any other scientific hypothesis and put to the test with rigorous investigation.

WHAT IS THE FERMI PARADOX?

The Fermi Paradox questions why, given the estimated 200-400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in our galaxy, there have been no signs of alien life. 

The contradiction is named after its creator, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.

He first posed the question back in 1950.

Fermi believed it was too extraordinary that a single extra-terrestrial signal or engineering project has yet to be detected in the universe — despite its immense vastness. 

Fermi concluded there must a barrier that limits the rise of intelligent, self-aware, technologically advanced space-colonising civilisations.

This barrier is sometimes referred to as the 'Great Filter'.

Italian physicist Enrico Fermi devised the so-called Fermi Paradox in the 1950s, which explores why there is no sign of alien life, despite the 100 billion planets in our galaxy

If the main obstacle preventing the colonisation of other planets is not in our past, then the barrier that will stop humanity's prospects of reaching other worlds must lie in our future, scientists have theorised.  

Professor Brian Cox believes the advances in science and engineering required by a civilisation to start conquering the stars will ultimately lead to its destruction.

He said: 'One solution to the Fermi Paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself.

‘It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster.'

Other possible explanations for the Fermi Paradox include that intelligent alien species are out there, but lack the necessary technology to communicate with Earth.

Some believe that the distances between intelligent civilisations are too great to allow any kind of two-way communication.

If two worlds are separated by several thousand light years, it's possible that one or both civilisations would become extinct before a dialogue can be established. 

The so-called Zoo hypothesis claims intelligent alien life is out there, but deliberately avoids any contact with life on Earth to allow its natural evolution.

What do aliens EAT? Scientist reveals the foods extraterrestrials would go for on Earth – and why E.T.'s favourite Reese's Pieces are off the cards

What do aliens EAT? Scientist reveals the foods extraterrestrials would go for on Earth – and why E.T.'s favourite Reese's Pieces are off the cards

  • READ MORE: Steven Spielberg claims aliens have already visited Earth 

By WILIAM HUNTER, SENIOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY REPORTER

In the 1982 blockbuster, E.T. the Extra–Terrestrial, E.T. is lured out of hiding using a trail of Reese's Pieces. 

But what would aliens really eat if they visited our planet? 

According to Professor José Miguel Soriano del Castillo, a nutritionist from the University of Valencia, our planet would serve a 'risky buffet' for alien life.

Even if aliens have similar basic biology to us, there is no guarantee that foods that are safe for humans to eat would be compatible with their digestive systems.

Instead of snacking on human foods, this means aliens would be more likely to feast on the 'raw materials' found on Earth.

Writing in The Conversation, Professor del Castillo claims that aliens would sustain themselves on 'water, nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, salts, lipids, microbial biomass or simple organic molecules'.

Unfortunately, this means E.T.'s Reese's Pieces are off the cards. 

However, Professor del Castillo suggests the classic UFO cow abduction might not be so far–fetched.

Animals across our planet have developed a baffling array of unique digestive systems. 

Cows, for example, are entirely dependent on the bacteria living in their stomachs to break down and digest cellulose in grass.

As Professor del Castillo points out, this means it is extremely difficult to say what an alien's natural diet might look like.

However, there are a few basic facts common to all forms of life that can give us a basic understanding.

Scientists generally believe that life needs three things: a source of energy, a liquid in which chemical reactions can occur, and suitable chemical elements.

Since these components are readily available on Earth, there's no reason that a visiting alien would need to go hungry.

A sufficiently advanced extraterrestrial might simply be able to hoover up organic matter from Earth and process it into something that suits their own digestive system.

However, Professor del Castillo warns that any interstellar tourists will need to be careful.

How much food would aliens eat?

The little green or grey man

* Weighing between 25 and 40kg, this alien would require 800 to 1,100 kcal a day

* However, if their big head holds a large, active brain, these calorie requirements could be higher.

The reptilian

* If these are cold–blooded, even a 100 kg reptile wouldn't use many calories.

* But if they are intelligent, active predators, a 150kg warm–blooded reptilian may need around 3,000 kcal per day.

The tall humanoid

* Tall humanoids would have a similar physiology to humans.

* This means an 80–90kg humanoid would require between 1,900 and 2,300 kcal per day.

Alongside salts, fats and sugars that are essential to life, Earth's environment is packed with potential toxins, pathogens, and allergens.  

'Earth's food would not necessarily be edible for them,' Professor del Castillo says.

'Terrestrial protein might be of no use if their digestive systems used different amino acids. Our sugars might prove useless if their metabolism could not handle them.'

This is why sensible alien travellers would be well advised to sample some of the local produce, perhaps by abducting a cow or two, before eating anything from Earth.

In the distant future, if humans ever really did meet an extraterrestrial civilisation, Professor del Castillo says Earth would need to train alien nutritionists.

He says: 'We would also need experts who could figure out what molecules these life forms tolerate, what energy they require, what poisons them, what microorganisms they carry, and what resources they could use without destroying the planet's ecosystems.'

While much of that information will depend on the specific organism, scientists can already start to estimate how much energy these aliens might need to consume.

In land animals, the amount of calories something needs to consume increases with its size, but not proportionally.

If UFOs really have visited Earth, our planet's biology would make eating human or animal food quite dangerous. Instead, aliens would need to feed themselves with the raw materials found on this planet. Pictured: An image of a UAP submitted by the FB to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office

That means an elephant needs more fuel than a mouse, but uses fewer calories per gram of body mass.

An alien weighing 70 kilograms would require around 1,700 kcal per day, while a massive 150–kilogram extraterrestrial would need over 3,000 kcal just to sustain itself without moving around a lot.

That is just the very basic amount needed to sustain life, and doesn't include all the extra energy that organisms need to move, think, operate machinery, fly a UFO, or abduct farmers. 

However, an even stranger possibility is that alien life won't need any food at all.

Many scientists believe our first visit from an extraterrestrial civilisation won't be in the form of a biological visitor, but a robotic probe. 

There is also the possibility that truly advanced aliens might have transcended their fleshy forms to become a 'post–biological entity' with a synthetic body.

Professor del Castillo says: 'In this case, "food" would no longer consist of proteins, fats or carbohydrates, but electricity, heat, chemical fuel or nuclear energy. 

'An alien robot wouldn't eat rice or pasta, it would simply need to recharge its batteries.'

WHAT IS THE FERMI PARADOX?

The Fermi Paradox questions why, given the estimated 200-400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in our galaxy, there have been no signs of alien life. 

The contradiction is named after its creator, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.

He first posed the question back in 1950.

Fermi believed it was too extraordinary that a single extra-terrestrial signal or engineering project has yet to be detected in the universe — despite its immense vastness. 

Fermi concluded there must a barrier that limits the rise of intelligent, self-aware, technologically advanced space-colonising civilisations.

This barrier is sometimes referred to as the 'Great Filter'.

Italian physicist Enrico Fermi devised the so-called Fermi Paradox in the 1950s, which explores why there is no sign of alien life, despite the 100 billion planets in our galaxy

If the main obstacle preventing the colonisation of other planets is not in our past, then the barrier that will stop humanity's prospects of reaching other worlds must lie in our future, scientists have theorised.  

Professor Brian Cox believes the advances in science and engineering required by a civilisation to start conquering the stars will ultimately lead to its destruction.

He said: 'One solution to the Fermi Paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself.

‘It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster.'

Other possible explanations for the Fermi Paradox include that intelligent alien species are out there, but lack the necessary technology to communicate with Earth.

Some believe that the distances between intelligent civilisations are too great to allow any kind of two-way communication.

If two worlds are separated by several thousand light years, it's possible that one or both civilisations would become extinct before a dialogue can be established. 

The so-called Zoo hypothesis claims intelligent alien life is out there, but deliberately avoids any contact with life on Earth to allow its natural evolution.

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Is a Story About People

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Is a Story About People

What UAP disclosure may reveal about us.

Jennice Vilhauer Ph.D.Jennice Vilhauer Ph.D. - Living Forward

Key points

  • UAP disclosure is as much a human story as it is a scientific one.
  • People do not just receive information, they make meaning from it.
  • How we adapt may matter as much as what we discover.

Much of the public conversation surrounding disclosure focuses on a single question: What are unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP)?

Are they advanced technology? Non-human intelligence? Something we have not yet imagined?

These questions are important. The mystery itself is compelling, and the search for answers is a worthy scientific endeavor. Yet there is another dimension of disclosure that often receives far less attention. Disclosure is not only a story about unidentified objects, hidden information, or unexplained phenomena. It is also a story about people.

The most profound consequences of disclosure may not emerge from what is discovered in the sky but from what happens within us when we are asked to reconsider what we believe to be true.

Throughout history, humanity has repeatedly encountered information that challenged deeply held assumptions. We learned that the Earth is not the center of the cosmos. We discovered that life evolves through natural processes. We realized that our galaxy is only one among billions. Each revelation required us to revise our understanding of reality and our place within it. History suggests that people are capable of integrating even profound revisions to their worldview, although the process is often gradual rather than immediate.(1)

How Human Psychology Processes New Revelations

The history of these discoveries is often told as a story about science. But it is equally a story about psychology. New information enters a world of existing beliefs, identities, institutions, relationships, hopes, and fears. People must make sense of it. They must decide what it means and how it fits into the narrative of their lives.

Disclosure, if it continues to unfold, will be no different.

Some individuals may experience wonder, curiosity, and excitement. Others may feel uncertainty, skepticism, anxiety, or resistance. Some may feel anger. Many will move through several of these reactions at different times. The most important question may not be whether people react but how they adapt.

Human beings are meaning-making creatures. We do not simply receive information; we interpret it. We integrate it into stories about who we are, where we came from, and what kind of future we imagine for ourselves. Whenever new information challenges those stories, a process of adjustment begins. Research suggests that restoring coherence and meaning is one of the primary ways people adapt to disruptive life events and major challenges to their assumptions.(2)

That adjustment is evidence of one of humanity's greatest strengths.

Psychological adaptation is among the most remarkable capacities our species possesses. People survive wars, economic upheaval, natural disasters, technological revolutions, and personal tragedies. We grieve, question, learn, and eventually find ways to move forward. The human mind is not designed to avoid change. It is designed to adapt to it. Decades of resilience research suggest that adaptation, rather than lasting dysfunction, is the most common long-term outcome following significant adversity.(3)

This is why the question of disclosure extends far beyond proving or disproving the existence of non-human intelligence. Even if definitive answers emerge, the larger challenge will be helping individuals and societies integrate what those answers mean.

The public conversation often assumes that disclosure is primarily about information. In reality, it is also about trust, communication, resilience, and understanding. It is about whether institutions can communicate honestly during periods of uncertainty. It is about whether communities can discuss difficult topics without polarization and fear. It is about whether individuals can remain grounded while navigating questions that may not have immediate answers.

If disclosure confirms that humanity is not alone, it will undoubtedly be a historic scientific discovery. But it will also reveal something about us. It will show how we respond when confronted with a reality larger than the one we previously understood. It will demonstrate whether we retreat into fear and division or lean into curiosity, humility, and growth.

What Disclosure Ultimately Reveals

In that sense, disclosure is not merely a story about what may be out there. It is a story about who we are.

The mystery of UAP may eventually be resolved. The data will accumulate. Evidence will be evaluated. Scientific conclusions will emerge. Those questions, however significant, are ultimately finite.

The human story is not.

The lasting legacy of disclosure may not be the discovery itself, but the way humanity chooses to meet it. Our capacity for adaptation, cooperation, meaning-making, and resilience may prove just as important as any revelation that emerges.

Because, in the end, disclosure is not only about understanding a larger reality.

It is about understanding ourselves.

Are we witnessing the end of UFO Secrecy?

This video examines Hal Puthoff's latest statements on advanced life and the reality of managed disclosure. 
Are%20we%20witnessing%20the%20end%20of%20UFO%20Secrecy.png

In this analysis, Richard Dolan takes a close look at Puthoff's recent appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast. He states unequivocally that the evidence for advanced non-human technology is compelling, moving the conversation beyond unexplained sightings toward acknowledged data and evidence. 
We also explore the science behind space-time metric engineering and how Einstein's theory of general relativity allows for the theoretical manipulation of space-time. This framework offers a possible explanation for the reported transmedium capabilities of unidentified submerged objects (USOs), which are said to move seamlessly between air and water. 
Finally, we examine the national security state's strategy of managed ambiguity. Why are massive document releases continually provided instead of direct evidence? We discuss what Dolan calls the "hangar test," reviewing reports surrounding legacy programs, including claims involving Lue Elizondo and the alleged 2008 attempt by Robert Bigelow to gain access to an anomalous vehicle reportedly held by Lockheed Martin. To understand the true architecture of secrecy, we may need to look beyond the paperwork.

Dozens of active dust devils caught swirling across Mars canyon system

Dozens of active dust devils caught swirling across Mars canyon system

by European Space Agency

The European Space Agency's Mars Express has captured part of Mars's Mamers Valles, a fascinating valley system speckled with brief, tornado-like whirlwinds known as dust devils.

Dust devils form as parts of Mars warm in the sun, causing the air just above the surface to swirl upward and carry dust with it. Mars's dust devils are similar to those seen in dry, dusty landscapes on Earth, but far larger. They tower up to 8 kilometers (5 miles) high, rove about for kilometers at a time, and reach top speeds of 45 meters per second. They play a key role in moving dust across the planet.

Mars Express is uniquely equipped to spot these mini whirlwinds. To form a single image using its High Resolution Stereo Camera—the instrument responsible for these new snapshots—the spacecraft combines sequential views from up to nine separate camera channels (which look at Mars in a different color, from a different direction, or a mix of the two). If nothing changes on the Martian surface while these are being taken, the multiple perspectives align—but if something is moving about, it stands out clearly from its surroundings.

In this new set of images, Mars Express captures not one but dozens of active dust devils. Click on the image below to see more than 30 circled, each visible as a small yellow dot with a pinkish trailing "shadow."

The alignment and combination of Mars Express's various camera channels also allow scientists to figure out the direction and speed of Mars's dust devils. This is something scientists have done using data from both Mars Express and ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, revealing how more than 1,000 of these tornado-like storms move—and tracing how winds sweep around the planet.

Canyons and channels

Mamers Valles is a vast, broken-up, labyrinthine system of canyons and valleys etched into Mars's surface. The feature was named in 1976 based on the ancient Oscan language of pre-Roman Italy, with "Mamers" meaning "Mars" and "Valles" meaning "Valley."

These channels stretch out for around 1,000 km, crossing from Mars's ancient southern highlands into the planet's northern lowlands, and in places measure up to 25 km wide and 1.2 km deep (as shown most clearly in the associated topographical map below).

Surrounding these channels are various features: steep, flat hills known as mesas, sheer cliffs, and debris-covered glaciers. These glaciers contain water ice buried beneath a cover of rock and dust, and can be seen building up at the base of the steep slopes pictured here. All of these landforms come together to form fragmented or "fretted" terrain.

Patches of dark material can also be seen lining a couple of the valleys—likely volcanic sands that either formed in place or were swept in by winds.

Many of the features seen here are signs of past activity related to water, lava or ice, all of which once flowed across this terrain and carved out telltale marks.

For instance, the valley floors are marked by long ridges and textures that formed as debris-covered glaciers slid down both sides of the valley, ultimately meeting in the middle. These same icy signatures line the steep cliffs and hillsides, too. Although water ice isn't stable on Mars's surface today, it has managed to survive here because it was covered by rocky material, which has stopped it from escaping to the Martian atmosphere.

Mamers Valles

Mars Express has visited this region of Mars before, imaging the areas surrounding both Mamers Valles (2008) and the neighboring Deuteronilus Mensae (2019).

The region dates to around 3.8 billion years ago, to a part of Martian history known as the late Noachian period. This era is significant because it marks when Mars began to transition from a warmer, wetter, more geologically active world to the cold, arid one seen today.

Decades of Mars exploration

This image comes courtesy of the HRSC camera, one of eight instruments aboard Mars Express. Mars Express has been capturing and exploring Mars's many landscapes since it launched in 2003. The orbiter has mapped the planet's surface at unprecedented resolution, in color and in three dimensions for more than two decades, returning insights that have drastically changed understanding of our planetary neighbor.

Guys, check this out. This video is from the third drop of US gov UFO files and this particular video is of a plasmoid orb aka cloud orb. I myself have encountered one close up and will soon describe what it looks like in an up and coming video. A cloud orb is an energy entity, very intelligent, very old and it can sense your thoughts...ideas, feelings instantly from several miles away. They range in size from golf ball size to 747 size (which I personally witnessed back in 1989 at Ellsworth AFB SD, but thats another video). They are 100% alive, they hide in clouds but enjoy shooting across the blue sky making themselves easy to see buy us until they enter another cloud. They seem to be more ancient of a species and may be ai or biological that has ascended into a higher plane of reality of pure energy. And parts of me wonders...are they angels or spiritual entities, or just ascended being that kept their spirituality? Oh...and one more thing, anyone can summon them with a focused mind, if one practices a few months. 
Scott C. Waring - UFO Sightings Daily 

Dept of War report states: 
On October 2024, at approximately 1851 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed a light source below the horizon, hovering above a pond at an estimated distance of 2,700 feet. The luminous object resembled a “plasma-like sphere” intermittently changing shape and luminosity. At times, the primary light source appeared to separate into smaller luminous points. A luminous point below the primary source hovered just above the water and did not appear consistent with a surface reflection. The object remained generally stationary for approximately 45 minutes before disappearing. The eyewitness did not hear any sound from the objects.
This video was captured by a private citizen on an iPhone and subsequently analyzed and authenticated by the U.S. Government. To protect the individual’s privacy, the footage has been cropped. Apart from this privacy-protective measure, no edits, enhancements, or alterations have been made to the visual content. The description above is derived from statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by an eyewitness to the event.

Guys check this out. This is an double red orb sighting caught just 25 miles from the pond sighting. These things are appearing on the eastern side of the US more than the western side! That means there is a reason for this location...and the meaning is to get the US presidents attention by having more sightings in the area of the US Whitehouse. They know there is a chance of a big release and not only that...but they are pushing people...influencing them through their thoughts to help push this agenda. 
Scott C. Waring - UFO Sightings Daily  
 
Eyewitness states:
In July 2025, at approximately 2100 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed an intense bright light in their backyard as they parked their car upon returning home from work. The light was hovering approximately 25 feet off the ground, below a tree line near the center of their backyard, at an estimated distance of 90 feet. The eyewitness exited their vehicle briefly before retrieving their phone to record the event. The spouse of the eyewitness came outside to assess the situation. The spouse also witnessed the light, describing it as a “brilliant red sphere” about one meter in diameter. The center of the red sphere appeared to be a white plasma “sun” about the size of a basketball. The orb slowly rose and moved to the left, and both eyewitnesses observed a second, identical orb, hovering above the other orb.
The eyewitness then began recording the event using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, capturing the footage depicted in this video. As the eyewitness began recording, the orbs moved westward together above a nearby tree line. The witnesses described the orbs’ motion as silent and smooth, and as moving in tandem as though they were flying in formation or tethered together. As the orbs moved out of sight, both eyewitnesses saw them appear to merge. The eyewitnesses estimated that the orbs moved from their initial position before disappearing from view at an estimated distance of 75 yards.
This observation occurred within 25 miles of the “Triangle Orbs,” “Red Orb Rotation,” and “Orbs Over the Pond,” sightings at a location well known to them, which is sparsely populated. The description above is derived from statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by eyewitnesses to the event. The FBI assesses the individuals who reported this event as credible.
The subject matter described in files FBI-UAP-D009 through FBI-UAP-D010 and depicted in the video footage FBI-UAP-PR004 corresponds to reports originating from the same general area in the northeastern United States.

What do Charles Dellschau and Ingersoll Lockwood have in common?

What do Charles Dellschau and Ingersoll Lockwood have in common?

What do Charles Dellschau (1830–1923) and Ingersoll Lockwood (1841–1918) have in common? 
Both men used the names "Trump" and "Baron Trump" in their artwork and writings decades before Donald Trump and his son, Barron Trump, were born. 
Charles Dellschau and the "Trump" paintings 
Charles%20Dellschau.jpg

Charles Dellschau was born in Germany and later emigrated to the United States. He is best known for his intricate, visionary artworks depicting fantastical flying machines and mysterious airships. 
Some of Dellschau's paintings appear to contain the word "TRUMP" and even the number "45." In modern times, some observers have interpreted these elements as references to Donald Trump, who became the 45th President of the United States. However, there is no evidence that Dellschau intended any such meaning. 
One painting also includes a banner bearing the phrase "AEROUP TRUMP." Hypothetically, this could be interpreted as referring to aerial superiority or an ultimate airship, using the word "trump" in its traditional sense of superiority, excellence, or triumph. 
Ingersoll Lockwood and Baron Trump 
Ingersoll%20Lockwood.jpg

Ingersoll Lockwood was an American lawyer, diplomat, and author who wrote a series of fantasy children's books in the late nineteenth century. Today, he is best known for creating the fictional character Baron Trump. 
His books, Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger and its sequel, Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey, follow a young aristocratic boy named Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, commonly known as Baron Trump. 
The character's name bears a striking resemblance to that of Donald Trump's son, Barron Trump. In the stories, Baron Trump lives in Castle Trump and embarks on extraordinary adventures involving hidden realms and mysterious civilizations. 
The appearance of the names "Trump" and "Baron Trump" long before the birth of Donald Trump and his son has inspired numerous theories. Some regard these similarities as remarkable historical coincidences, while others speculate about hidden connections, secret societies, or prophetic symbolism. 
The Last President and Modern Interpretations 
enough%20Is%20enough%20illunimati%20card.jpg

Another of Lockwood's novels, The Last President, portrays political unrest following an unexpected presidential election victory. Because of certain perceived parallels, (Donadl Trump became the 47th president) some readers have retrospectively linked the story to Donald Trump's political rise. However, the novel does not mention Donald Trump, and any connection is entirely speculative. 
Some theorists have also associated the story with the "Enough Is Enough" card from the Illuminati: New World Order card game, suggesting that it symbolically foreshadows Trump's rise to power and an eventual disclosure of hidden truths similar to themes explored by both Dellschau and Lockwood, including: 
  • Mysterious airships and advanced technologies
  • Hidden worlds and underground civilizations 
  • Cryptic symbols and coded messages 
  • Alleged secret societies and concealed knowledge 
Adding another layer to the mystery is Donald Trump's uncle, John G. Trump (1907–1985). A respected electrical engineer and professor at MIT, he was a pioneer in the scientific, engineering, and medical applications of high-voltage machinery. 
Following the death of inventor Nikola Tesla in 1943, the U.S. government asked John G. Trump to examine Tesla's papers to determine whether they contained inventions of military significance. This historical fact has led some researchers to speculate about possible links between Tesla's ideas and later narratives surrounding advanced technology and government secrecy. 
 
Coincidence or Something More?  
Perhaps these similarities are nothing more than extraordinary coincidences. Yet, with Donald Trump increasingly associated with UFO related discussions, proposed disclosures, and congressional hearings, and with ongoing stories about advanced technologies allegedly recovered from crashed UFOs, as well as the possible existence of secret underground or underwater civilizations, it is perhaps unsurprising that some researchers continue to speculate about hidden connections and acknowledge among Charles Dellschau, Ingersoll Lockwood, Nikola Tesla, and the Trump family. 
To date, however, no credible evidence has been found to substantiate these theories, and they remain firmly within the realm of speculation.

Noah's Ark could finally be found after historic deal promises 'irrefutable proof'

Noah's Ark could finally be found after historic deal promises 'irrefutable proof'

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

A mysterious formation high in the mountains of eastern Turkey has long fueled speculation that it could be the final resting place of Noah's Ark.

Now, researchers who believe they have identified signs of a massive man-made structure buried beneath the site have received official approval to put their theory to the test.

The team behind Noah's Ark Scans announced that its Turkish partner has secured government permits to conduct what it describes as the most comprehensive scientific investigation ever undertaken at the Durupinar Formation near Mount Ararat.

The expedition will include non-destructive core drilling, advanced remote-sensing technology, next-generation imaging systems and an underground drone named 'Gopher' designed to map what lies beneath the surface.

In a statement announcing the approval, the group said it hopes to provide the world with 'irrefutable proof' that the formation is the authentic resting place of Noah's Ark.

The researchers have previously used ground-penetrating radar to scan more than 20 feet below the site, identifying what they describe as angular structures and hidden voids that they believe are inconsistent with a natural geological formation.

Noah's Ark Scans fundraiser Lauren Witzke said: 'This is not merely a scientific expedition; this is confirmation that one of the most scoffed-at stories in history, Noah's Ark, is real, as is the God who inspired it and, in His wrath and mercy, sent the flood for which it was needed.'

The expedition is scheduled to begin later this year, with preliminary findings expected to be released as data is processed and verified.

'This historic authorization marks the first time in modern history that a dedicated international team has been officially cleared to perform extensive, non-destructive investigations at the site using revolutionary new scanning and imaging technologies never before applied to this site,' the team shared in the release. 

Located just 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, Turkey's highest peak, the Durupinar Formation has only been known to the modern world for less than a century.

According to local reports, heavy rains and earthquakes in May 1948 washed away the surrounding mud, revealing the mysterious formation. It was then discovered by a Kurdish shepherd.

The Bible states that Noah's Ark came to rest on the 'mountains of Ararat' after a 150-day flood that drowned the Earth and every living creature not sheltered inside the wooden vessel.

What is intriguing is that the formation sits near a mountain with a peak that some believe matches the ark's shape and dimensions.

The idea that the ark landed on Mount Ararat has long sparked debate.

While many scientists argue that the formation is a naturally occurring geological feature, others are convinced it points to something far more extraordinary.

The team at Noah's Ark Scans firmly believes the latter.

Jones previously told the Daily Mail: 'Naturally, an object would not form this way with the pointed end uphill,' said Jones.

'Per fluid dynamics, if this was an obstruction naturally forming around a rock in the earth or mud flow, then the pointed end would be downhill and the rounded end would be uphill.'

A mysterious geological formation perched high in the mountains of Turkey could be the site where Noah's Ark landed around 4,300 years ago

Jones added that he and his team have uncovered a tunnel that is not filled in, which leads to a big central void, a room that goes much further down that is square shaped.'

'Some people have theorized that Noah's Ark had a multi-level big atrium to let the light and air circulate between the three decks,' said the researcher.

He noted that a key development in the investigation was the discovery of different soil inside the mysterious formation.

Inside, the soil is less alkaline, has more organic matter and contains more potassium, which is what would be expected from decaying wood, like an ancient wooden boat, which lowers pH and adds carbon and potassium, said Jones.

'Tests show these soil differences (pH, organic matter and potassium) are real, with less than a five percent chance they're random, giving 95 percent confidence that something like a decayed wooden ship is causing them,' he added.

Biblical measurements describe the ark as 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high - that's approximately 515 feet long, 86 feet wide and 52 feet tall.

The measurements of the formation in Turkey appear to match those given in the Bible.

Using ground-penetrating radar, the team uncovered what looks like long hallways traveling through the middle and either side of what they say could be a massive boat

He and his team at Noah's Ark Scans have been exploring the mysterious mound since 2019, using modern technology to peer deep below the surface.

The void first appears about 14 feet below the surface and stretches more than 39 feet, according to the scans.

Jones explained that the space extends from the center of the boat-like structure toward its tip, ending where a large boulder was detected.

'The tunnel then drops another 26 feet, connecting to a massive central room that we're seeing in the radar scans,' he said.

'Our assumption is that this could be part of Noah's Ark, possibly the central hall and some of the decks. There's definitely something preserved underground.'

Jones suggested the tunnel may have served as a main hallway, providing access to rooms meant for the animals brought aboard the vessel. 

'In the Biblical account, it doesn't say Noah's Ark landed on Mount Ararat; it says the mountains, plural, of Ararat,' Jones explained.

'Back in those days, Ararat was an ancient kingdom. So it would be like saying today that Noah's Ark landed in the mountains of Colorado. It's referring to a region of mountains, not one specific peak, and our site fits within that location.'

The other leading possible spot is on top of Mount Ararat, though there hasn't been any evidence found.

From as early as the 4th century, Christian tradition began identifying Mount Ararat in modern-day Turkey as the ark’s resting place.

Josephus, a 1st-century Jewish historian, also wrote that remains of the ark were still visible in the mountains of Armenia, further solidifying the association with Mount Ararat.

Webb and Hubble reveal the history of a relic of Milky Way's formation

Webb and Hubble reveal the history of a relic of Milky Way's formation

Researchers using two of humanity's most powerful observatories—NASA's James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes—have definitively shown that Terzan 5 is not a globular star cluster, as it was once classified, offering new insight into how galaxies like our own form and evolve over time.

A globular star cluster typically has only one ancient star population. New data not only confirm the existence of two distinct populations of stars in Terzan 5, but also provide evidence for two more recent rounds of star formation. Although located within the crowded bulge of our Milky Way, our galaxy's central spherical region of older stars, Terzan 5 was massive enough to maintain its separate identity while lightweight systems spread out and mixed to form the bulge billions of years ago. It's like a lump in an otherwise well-mixed cake batter.

"Webb's new near-infrared observations, cross-referenced with Hubble's archival observations, have given us a much clearer picture of the history of Terzan 5," said Giorgia Zullo, who led the research and is a Ph.D. student at the University of Bologna in Italy.

These results were presented at a press conference Tuesday at the 248th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Pasadena and were published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Zooming on Terzan 5

Peering through the thick dust clouds of our galaxy’s central parts (the “bulge”) with an amazing amount of detail, a team of astronomers has revealed an unusual mix of stars in the stellar grouping known as Terzan 5. Never observed anywhere in the bulge before, this peculiar cocktail of stars suggests that Terzan 5 is in fact one of the bulge’s primordial building blocks, most likely the relic of a proto-galaxy that merged with the Milky Way during its very early days.

This video zooms in onto the cluster, starting from a wide view of the central parts of our home galaxy, and finishing with an amazing near-infrared image obtained with the Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope.

Four generations of stars

Discovered in 1968 by astronomer Agop Terzan, Terzan 5 resembles a globular cluster in many ways. However, in 2009, this system was discovered to harbor two distinct populations of stars. In 2016, Hubble provided the first estimate of their ages, showing that one formed roughly 12 billion years ago—as the Milky Way itself was assembling—and the other about 5 billion years ago, just before Earth started forming. This pointed to a more complex history than a typical globular cluster.

Studying Terzan 5 is complicated by its location in a region of our galaxy crowded with stars and heavily obscured by dust. This is where Webb stepped in. Its infrared view allowed the research team to peer through the dust and catalog many more stars, and fainter stars, than previous work. By measuring star colors and brightness, astronomers can classify them into populations of different ages and chemistries.

Webb was able to measure these key properties for every star within the field of view in the sky—both stars within Terzan 5 and unrelated foreground stars. To isolate the stars of Terzan 5, the team relied on the power and longevity of Hubble. The 12-year separation allowed the team to measure very small movements of individual stars, known as proper motions, to determine which stars belong to Terzan 5 and which are part of the Milky Way bulge.

By combining data from both Webb and Hubble, the researchers found strong evidence for two more stellar populations, one that formed 3.8 billion years ago and another only 2.5 billion years ago. They were also able to determine the ages of the previously known stellar populations with unprecedented precision, finding that they formed 12.5 billion and 4.7 billion years ago.

With the previously known two generations of stars, astronomers could not rule out the possibility that Terzan 5 interacted with another object, like a globular cluster or a giant molecular cloud, becoming enriched with new gas and dust that set off a second round of star formation. With four stellar generations, those explanations are ruled out.

Measurements of the stellar composition of Terzan 5 populations made at the W. M. Keck Observatory and European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope also point to very distinct populations.

"Along with the ages of these populations, the cluster preserves a fossil record of progressive enrichment of heavy elements by supernovae," said co-author R. Michael Rich, a research astronomer at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Terzan 5 formed multiple generations of stars because it was able to retain the necessary raw materials. There is evidence of powerful supernova explosions in Terzan 5 that forged heavier elements that were swept up by subsequent generations of stars. In lightweight systems, the force of the explosions themselves could have ejected the resulting elements as well as swept out leftover gas and dust. The progenitor of Terzan 5 had enough mass to retain those stars' ejections, allowing new generations of stars to form over billions of years.

Feds left baffled by sighting of ‘orbs launching other orbs’ in western US, new UFO files reveal

The Top 10 UFO Encounters Revealed From the Second Wave of Pentagon Declassified Files

WASHINGTON — A series of UFO sightings by federal officials in the western US is detailed in striking illustrations made public by the War Department Friday.

The artist renderings of the encounters “near a sensitive national security site” over a two-day period in October 2023 were released as part of the third drop of UFO files by the Trump administration.

A June 5 summary report by the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) describes what the agents saw as “orbs launching other orbs,” including “a luminous orange ‘mother orb’ appear[ing] to produce smaller red ‘orbs,’ one after another, multiple times over a period of several hours.

“Reporters described the orange ‘mother orbs’ as appearing for one or two seconds, releasing a cluster of two to four red ‘orbs,’ and subsequently disappearing,” the summary added. “The reporters characterized the behavior of the red ‘orbs’ as anomalous, describing varied kinematic profiles including seemingly coordinated horizontal motion and apparent changes in altitude.”

The orbs remained entirely “silent” — and one hovered over a ridgeline for hours before disappearing.

The summary assessed that what the agents saw was “sufficiently anomalous to warrant continued investigation” — but noted that they”did not collect video footage, photographic imagery, or other technical data during the incident.”

Subsequent FBI interviews noted the incident took place over Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs, Colo.

One “brilliant and beautiful” red sphere appeared to be one meter (just over three feet) in diameter, according to two observers who spoke with a bureau agent about the encounter.

Neither witness said they had “seen anything that color of red before” and added that its center glowed like a “‘white plasma sun’ about the size of a basketball,” the forensic sketch noted.

AARO listed plausible explanations for the phenomena, including that it may have been a military aircraft dispensing flares, and added the witnesses’ accounts “align with those of certain US military technologies.”

Theories deemed less likely included whether the objects were the result of military aircraft exhaust (which was ruled out); an unmanned aerial vehicle (discounted due to the “loitering” nature of the orbs); or some kind of foreign intelligence activity (considered highly unlikely given the known capacities of US adversaries), per AARO’s report.

Meteorological, atmospheric, and space-based anomalies were also considered but determined to be unlikely.

In February, President Trump announced that he would order Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as well as other department heads, to identify and release government files related to UFOs and aliens, calling the disclosures “highly complex, but extremely interesting and important.”

The Pentagon began releasing the first tranche of files on May 8, with a second document drop taking place on May 22.

Dr. Steven Greer’s Strange Claim About Time Travelers From 500,000 Years in the Future

Greer future humans

Dr. Steven Greer’s Strange Claim About Time Travelers From 500,000 Years in the Future

By Vicky Verma

Dr. Steven Greer made a strange and powerful claim while speaking with Alex Jones. He said that some beings connected to UFO encounters may not be aliens from another planet. According to him, some of them could be humans from the far future.

Greer claimed that in the 1980s, U.S. military personnel met beings who said they were descendants of humanity from 500,000 years in the future. He described them as tall, luminous white beings who were highly evolved, spiritual, and capable of moving through the shell of a craft.

This is an extraordinary claim, and it should be treated as a claim, not as proven fact. But it becomes more interesting when it is compared with the older Rendlesham Forest UFO case, where some witnesses also later suggested that the visitors may not have been extraterrestrials in the normal sense. They may have been connected to humanity’s future.

Greer says that if advanced aliens wanted to kill humans, they would not need to fight us like people fight wars on Earth. A civilization that can travel between stars would likely have technology far beyond anything humans understand today.

In his view, if such technology were weaponized, humanity could be destroyed almost instantly. He talks about interstellar technology and quantum-level technology, and says that if beings with that level of power wanted us gone, it could happen in a nanosecond.

Because that has not happened, Greer believes these beings are not hostile. He argues that they are peaceful and concerned about what humans are doing to Earth and to each other. He thinks they are not here to invade us, but to warn us.

Greer also says Earth is a beautiful part of creation. In his view, humanity is not some meaningless accident. Humans may have a larger role in the universe, and Earth may be important not only to us, but also to other advanced intelligences.

Then he goes even further. He says some of these beings may be our own descendants. In other words, they are not coming from a distant star system, but from Earth’s future.

According to Greer, these future humans came back because their own existence is in danger. If modern humans destroy civilization through nuclear war, environmental destruction, or endless conflict, then the future timeline that produced those beings may never happen.

This is where Greer connects his claim to the Rendlesham Forest incident, one of the most famous UFO cases in modern history.

The Rendlesham Forest incident happened in late December 1980 near RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk, England. At the time, these were military bases used by the United States Air Force. The case is often called “Britain’s Roswell” because it involved trained military witnesses, strange lights, alleged physical traces, official documents, and decades of debate.

The basic story begins when U.S. Air Force personnel reported strange lights near the forest. Airman First Class John Burroughs was one of the first men connected to the sighting. He and others saw unusual lights near the East Gate area and went to investigate.

At first, the men thought they might be dealing with a crashed aircraft. That would make sense from a military point of view. They were not expecting a “UFO encounter.” They were responding to something strange near a sensitive military area.

Staff Sergeant Jim Penniston later became one of the most important witnesses in the case. He claimed he went into the forest and came close to a triangular craft. According to his later account, the object was not like any normal aircraft. It had no wings, no visible engine, no ordinary landing gear, and no clear method of propulsion.

Penniston said the craft looked dark, smooth, and solid. He described strange symbols on its surface, which he said reminded him of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. He also claimed he was close enough to touch it.

That detail became one of the strongest parts of the Rendlesham legend. Penniston did not just say he saw lights in the sky. He later said he touched a physical object.

According to his account, the surface felt smooth and warm. He also said that when he touched the craft, something happened to his mind. He felt as if information had been placed inside him.

The next day, Penniston said he felt compelled to write down a long series of ones and zeros. Years later, this became known as the Rendlesham binary code. A computer programmer reportedly translated the numbers, and one of the messages was said to include the phrase “origin year 8100.”

This is one reason the future-human theory became attached to Rendlesham. If the “origin year” was 8100, some people wondered if the craft was not from another planet, but from another time.

Penniston later said something even more striking. In a History Channel discussion, he suggested the visitors were not aliens. He said, “They were us.”

That short statement is very important for understanding why Greer’s new claim catches attention. Greer says luminous beings told military personnel they were our descendants from 500,000 years in the future. Penniston’s later claim is not exactly the same, but it points in the same general direction. Both ideas suggest that at least some UFO encounters may involve future humans, not extraterrestrials.

In Penniston’s version, the visitors may have been time travelers trying to correct something from Earth’s past. In Greer’s version, they came to warn us not to destroy the future through nuclear war and global destruction.

Greer’s version adds another dramatic layer. He says that senior U.S. military and Air Force personnel at Rendlesham encountered very tall glowing white beings. He says these beings moved through the shell of a black pyramid-shaped craft, as if solid material did not stop them.

He describes the craft as black and pyramid-shaped, almost like black onyx. He says the beings communicated with the military people and told them they were humans from 500,000 years in the future.

Their message, according to Greer, was simple and terrifying. If humanity continues on the path of nuclear war, endless war, and planetary destruction, then those future descendants will not exist.

This means the warning was not only about saving us. It was also about saving them. If we destroy ourselves now, their future disappears.

This idea sounds like science fiction, but it is not new in UFO lore. There have long been theories that some UFOs may be connected to time travel, parallel realities, or future versions of humanity. Rendlesham is one of the rare cases where this idea became connected to named military witnesses.

Still, it is important to be careful. The strongest public records of Rendlesham do not clearly prove Greer’s full version about tall luminous beings from 500,000 years in the future. The official records support that strange lights were reported, that U.S. Air Force personnel investigated, and that the case became serious enough to be written up by Lt. Col. Charles Halt.

Halt was the deputy base commander. He later wrote a memo titled “Unexplained Lights.” That memo is one of the main official documents connected to the case. It did not prove aliens, but it did show that the incident was not just a campfire story told by random people.

Halt also went into the forest with others after the first events. He reportedly took radiation readings and recorded audio while investigating the area. The Halt tape, as it is often called, became another famous part of the case.

Witnesses said they found marks on the ground, broken branches, and possible burn marks. Some accounts describe round impressions in the soil, as if something heavy had rested there. There were also claims of unusual radiation readings in the area.

John Burroughs later said there was missing time connected to the incident. According to accounts, he and others were unaccounted for, and their watches were reportedly behind by about 45 minutes. Some witnesses also described strange silence, difficulty moving, and a feeling that time itself was behaving oddly.

That time-distortion angle matters because it fits the larger idea of a craft connected to time travel. If witnesses felt time slowing down or experienced missing time, believers argue that this may point to technology affecting time or perception.

But skeptics have other explanations. They have suggested that the lights may have been caused by a lighthouse, bright stars, a meteor, military activity, or confusion in the dark forest. Some also argue that later details, like the binary code and time-travel ideas, came years after the original reports and should be treated with caution.

This is where the case becomes complicated. Rendlesham is not a simple story. The early reports, later witness memories, official documents, media interviews, books, and theories do not always match perfectly.

For example, Penniston’s later story about touching a triangular craft and receiving binary code is much more detailed than some earlier public records. That does not automatically mean he invented it, but it does mean readers should understand the difference between the early documented case and the later expanded testimony.

Nick Pope, who worked for the UK Ministry of Defence on UFO files, has called Rendlesham one of the most compelling UFO cases because it involved military witnesses, physical evidence claims, and official documents. But even Pope’s interest in the case does not prove that the beings were future humans. It only shows that the case has enough serious elements to deserve attention.

Another strange part of the case is John Burroughs’ later health battle. Burroughs said he suffered health problems after the incident and believed he had been exposed to something harmful. His medical records reportedly became difficult to access, and he later fought for treatment through official channels.

Greer’s claim is therefore best understood as one layer added to a much older mystery. Rendlesham already had strange lights, military witnesses, a reported craft, ground marks, radiation claims, missing time, and the binary-code story. Greer adds the claim that beings at the site directly told senior military people they were future humans.

That is the most extraordinary part, and also the hardest part to verify.

The future-human idea is powerful because it gives the UFO mystery a different meaning. If these beings are aliens, then they may be outsiders studying Earth. But if they are future humans, then they are family. They are what humanity could become if it survives.

That makes their warning more emotional. They are not just saying, “Do not destroy your planet.” They are saying, “Do not destroy us before we are born.”

Greer’s message also fits a theme often found in UFO stories, especially around nuclear weapons. Many witnesses and researchers have claimed that UFOs often appear near nuclear bases, missile sites, or places connected to military power. In this view, advanced beings are worried that humans have developed weapons before developing enough wisdom to use them responsibly.

Rendlesham happened during the Cold War. The world was still living under the fear of nuclear conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. If any advanced intelligence were watching Earth, nuclear weapons would be one of the most obvious dangers.

This is why Greer’s claim has a spiritual and moral side. He is not only talking about technology. He is saying humanity must change its direction. The real danger, in his view, is not aliens. The real danger is human violence, secrecy, and self-destruction.

What if they are not here to conquer Earth, but to make sure Earth survives long enough to create them?

The Pentagon Just Released Its Third Batch of UAP Files—What Have We Learned from the PURSUE Releases So Far?

A disc-like object observed producing “beams” while it hovered above an airport in Zimbabwe in 2008, an object resembling a flying “potato” over the Cheyenne Mountains in 2022, and alleged “orbs” observed by U.S. personnel are all among the sightings included in the Pentagon’s latest release of files related to UAP encounters.

The documents, which appeared on the Department of War’s website on Friday, are just the latest in a series of rolling releases by the Pentagon under the Trump Administration.

“As the unprecedented levels of interest in both this topic and the Trump administration’s historic transparency effort continue, WAR.GOV/UFO has received over 1.7 billion hits worldwide since the site’s launch on May 8, 2026,” read a statement provided by Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell that accompanied Friday’s release.

“The Department of War and our agency partners are actively working on the next release of UAP files,” Parnell added.

However, as more videos and documents continue to surface, a fundamental question arises: what, if anything, do they reveal about UAP, and how the United States intelligence community collects and processes information about these objects, whatever their origins may be?

What the Latest PURSUE Release Reveals

Within the latest batch of files from what the Pentagon characterizes as the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), a previously unreleased file from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) describes an unusual observation of an object that reportedly hovered above the Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe in 2008.

“Individuals debated if the sighting was an advanced reconnaissance device of a foreign government or of extraterrestrial origins,” a short description provided with the document states. Although no video or other supplemental data is provided, the written account that the document contains, which features partial redactions, states that observers described a “disc-like” object possessing a hollow center and “a series of rotating lights on the underside of the airframe.” As the lighting shifted colors, the object reportedly ascended quickly and was soon out of sight.

“Regardless of the origins,” the document states, the incident reportedly “resulted in the decision to place the Zimbabwe [redacted] on high alert.”

Another series of documents describes an observation of an object shaped like a “potato” that was seen near Colorado Springs in 2024.

Witnesses at the time described seeing “distinct edges” on the object, which “appeared to look painted in a creamy/whitish opalescent color.”

“It was somewhat translucent with a slight shimmer,” the report states. “The object was made up of what can best be described as articulating fish scales or panels that were non-symmetrical, non-overlapping, and irregular shaped. The object itself was perfectly still but each panel on the object shifted in slow waves starting at different points of origin but at the same time.”

According to an assessment of the sighting by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which currently leads the Pentagon’s investigations into UAP, “Analysis possibly indicates that the positioning on the sun in relation to Cheyenne Mountain would allow for backscattering of sunlight reflecting off snow-covered ground.”

“This reflection could illuminate low-level clouds in the vicinity,” according to the assessment, which was produced by one of AARO’s intelligence community (IC) partners, adding that such conditions “might account for the visibility of the object followed by its sudden disappearance.”

The report concedes that the analyst had “low confidence in this assessment” based on limited information made available about witnesses at the time, such as their individual field of view, as well as the level of cloud cover over the area at the time.

Another pair of documents describes what sounds like a very intriguing observation of an “intense bright light” seen hovering below the tree line near the observer’s backyard. Emerging from their vehicle, the witness observed a “strange light” that they estimated to be approximately one meter in diameter. The object was described as a “brilliant and beautiful” reddish color the observer had never seen before, adding that “inside the red sphere, at the center, there appeared to be what [redacted] described as a ‘white plasma sun’ about the size of a basketball.”

In this instance, the written accounts were not alone: a supplemental video indeed shows a pair of objects matching the description provided, which look suspiciously like candle balloons, also known as “sky lanterns,” drifting along with the breeze. Additionally, the footage bears a resemblance to a video released by an aviation safety advocacy group last year (and in fact, it may be the same video), which was also quickly assessed to have been sky lanterns, rather than anomalous UAP “orbs.”

In short, the latest Pentagon releases—as with most other recent releases of government data related to UAP—feature some interesting stories, though the majority of the “new” data remains underwhelming, at least at first glance.

Hopeful—but Skeptical—Ufologists

In a posting on his X account, prominent skeptic Mick West noted that in advance of the Pentagon’s second PURSUE release, “ufologists (myself included) were hopeful we’d get some amazing evidence.”

“All 46 videos have been released,” West wrote. “None of them are amazing. Maybe it’s time to consider that this might be the best they have.”

Whether or not the videos we’ve now seen are indeed among the best examples of UAP in the Pentagon’s holdings, West isn’t wrong to point out the obvious: the current examples the Pentagon has provided fail to establish that there is anything truly extraordinary about the objects these videos convey.

West places himself in the commendable position of being among the hopeful “ufologists” that he says are eager to see better data on these phenomena. I can affirm that this author is among those ranks as well, having followed the subject for decades; beyond that, and reporting on the subject for The Debrief, I have also managed an independent UAP sightings reporting website for the last two years, as a self-funded citizen science effort to collect data on possible UAP observations and make it freely available to the public. Unlike a few similar sites and apps that crowd-source data on possible UAP sightings, I also work to assess the data and resolve cases whenever enough information has been provided to make that feasible.

Like West would probably also tell you, I can confirm that the majority of UAP sightings have prosaic explanations, which can often be determined using resources that include weather data, aviation tracking sites, astronomical software, rocket launch data, and other online resources that are generally free to the public. After attempting to resolve UAP sighting reports, there is, however, a residuum of unresolved cases that remain intriguing.

Assessing UAP videos in this way, in order to determine whether they document real anomalous phenomena or simply misidentifications of known objects, often carries a very negative stigma, partially because it has an equally negative term attached to it: “debunking.” The negative association here is unfortunate, since the careful study and interpretation of purported UAP imagery and, when warranted by evidence, its classification as either misidentified known phenomena or genuine unresolved cases, is one of the most beneficial ways we can work toward advancing our understanding of the UAP issue.

Equally unfortunate is the fact that, all too often, what we get instead when it comes to UAP releases is just the opposite: imagery and other data (sometimes including official U.S. government materials released through unauthorized channels) that have undergone virtually no assessment, and which feature scant accompanying details required to help contextualize the sightings.

What we are left with are usually blurry videos and images of objects that end up seeing wide circulation, often with the help of the most ardent promoters of UAP (many of whom also happen to be equally skilled at self-promotion). Beyond making a poor case for the legitimate study of UAP, such instances invite criticism—although not so much from the hopeful, skeptically-minded “ufologists” genuinely interested in viewing quality UAP data. Rather, the most frequent attacks originate from ideological, self-branded “skeptics” whose real focus appears to be aimed at superficially undermining the topic and its proponents using rhetoric heavily dipped in ad hominem, all as a means of driving engagement through their social media accounts.

Who can really blame them? Such high-traffic social media engagement can reportedly be quite profitable these days, and let’s face it: few among the most active voices in the online UAP fracas these days appear to be above engaging in a bit of good old-fashioned grifting—including the ones who often complain the loudest when they see others doing it.

Fundamentally, though, none of this helps to advance our knowledge about UAP. Answers to questions about what these objects are, as well as what they aren’t, and whether any good evidence exists for truly “anomalous” behaviors often associated with these objects by those who witness them, remain void from such contentious prattling—just as it apparently remains absent from the vast majority of the new records released by the Pentagon.

However, that isn’t to say there aren’t at least a few intriguing data points that have emerged from the recent releases.

An Intriguing UAP Case from the Second PURSUE Release

In the second batch of videos released by the Department of War, one potentially intriguing example of an unidentified flying object seems to have gone mostly overlooked.

The case involves imagery from the holdings of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office that was originally captured on April 12, 2021. Labeled “Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 0,” the footage, according to details provided at the time of its release, “is likely derived from a full-motion video camera and an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2021. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024.”

According to a short description provided by the Department of War, “An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the upper right corner of the frame, exiting in the bottom right corner of the screen. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, centering it within the sensor field-of-view.”

“The sensor changes modes as the area of contrast becomes indistinct against the background,” the summary concludes.

However, viewing the footage reveals something slightly more intriguing than this description alone conveys. The footage appears to show a small, light-colored object moving above a rugged desert terrain, presumably somewhere in the Middle East. As the object is being filmed using the electro-optical system on board a United States military drone, at one point, the object can be seen as it begins to descend in altitude, an elevation change made apparent by the shadow the object casts against the terrain below it (as can be seen in the still frame from the footage featured below). At this point, the object engages in a sudden change in direction and appears to enter a shadowed area of the landscape, at which time its brightness (seemingly due to reflectivity of its surface) is significantly diminished by the surrounding shadow, and the object becomes indiscernible.

UAP Pentagon PURSUE

(Image Credit: U.S. Department of War).

The most intriguing aspect of this behavior is the object’s apparent movement into what we might interpret as a position of concealment. In doing so, the object not only appears to “hide,” but it also demonstrates an obvious change in direction that is suggestive of controlled motion. This is significant for a few reasons: one is that in many purported UAP videos, a phenomenon known as the parallax effect can (and often does) lead to an optical illusion where a slow-moving or even stationary object can have the appearance of moving. This illusion is caused by differences in relative speed between objects closer to the camera and those further distant, causing any closer objects to appear to be moving faster than those in the background (a good explainer on parallax effect and its relationship to UAP sightings can be read here, made available at the website of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office).

In the case of the “Spherical UAP” featured in the video from the second PURSUE release, perhaps some degree of motion parallax cannot be ruled out. However, the object’s descent just before changing direction and entering the rugged portion of terrain cast in shadow appears to clearly demonstrate in this case that the object is engaged in movement, which equally appears to convey intelligent control. Finally, an interpretation that the object may be taking a position of concealment, if correct, may indicate that the object and/or its operators had been aware that it was being observed.

Does anything conveyed in this video offer proof of extraterrestrial technology? Absolutely not. Are there any obvious signs of extraordinary capabilities being demonstrated by this object? No, there aren’t. What this video does demonstrate, however, is footage of an object that appears to be engaged in behaviors that clearly show movement beyond the capabilities of most simple balloons, and one that may fit the general description of objects the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has characterized as its general “target” description for UAP it investigates (more on that in a moment).

In the case of the DOW-UAP-PR061, “Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 0” footage, the object not only demonstrates changes in its direction of motion, but also appears to conceal itself. Obviously, a better interpretation than “balloon” in this instance might be some kind of unmanned aerial system, although what limited information the footage conveys is simply too indistinct to be able to tell. Altogether, it simply remains “unidentified” in the purest sense: some kind of object engaging in what appears to be controlled flight, while not exhibiting any otherwise extraordinary capabilities.

However, all of this raises another important question about UAP reports: why do we always have to assume that an object must display “otherworldly” or otherwise extraordinary capabilities for it to qualify as a “genuine” UAP?

The Problem of Conditioning

Another intriguing phenomenon related to the recent release of UAP information by the Pentagon involves the similarity in responses to these releases from both UAP advocates and UAP skeptics.

Some proponents of genuine anomalous UAP have expressed frustration over the Department of War’s release of several dozens of videos, all of which fail to reveal any “classic” UFO shapes like flying saucers or giant black triangles, nor any confirmation of extraterrestrial technologies detailed in the troves of formerly classified documents included with the releases.

Meanwhile, skeptics essentially argue the same thing: so far, these videos show nothing particularly remarkable, and clearly fail to prove that extraterrestrials have visited Earth.

In short, the fundamental premise of most “believers” and “skeptics” appears to be the same: “UAPs either must represent evidence of extraterrestrials, or else they are unimportant.”

This premise fails to acknowledge several important issues, such as 1) that many ideas about how UAP are supposed to look and behave are based on presumptions about how we expect any technologies produced by extraterrestrials advanced enough to traverse interstellar distances would appear to us, 2) that UAP could still represent a genuine mystery, even if they aren’t evidence of extraterrestrial technologies, and 3) that even if most UAP turned out to be technologies of earthly origin, they could still represent a security concern, and hence warrant U.S. government investigation.

Clearly, it should be acknowledged that there is also witness testimony—some of it quite compelling—that describes unusual characteristics associated with UAP, such as extreme acceleration, erratic movement, exceptional agility/maneuverability, environmental effects, and other capabilities which could only be characterized as “anomalous.” Such descriptions are also part of what informs many of our expectations about how UAPs are supposed to behave. However, it is important to recognize that just because such eyewitness descriptions exist, it does not necessarily mean that we can—or should—attribute such capabilities to all UAP observations, and thereby use such presumptions as a gauge for their credibility on a case-by-case basis.

How the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office Characterizes UAP

A careful review of resources made available by the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) helps to shed further light on the attributes of what it characterizes as UAP.

A page dedicated to education and resources at AARO’s website lists a small collection of studies detailing current state-of-the-art technologies related to spherical drones, novel propulsion systems, and other technologies, which it says represent “advanced propulsion systems that are consistent with UAP observations.” The obvious implication of providing such resources involves the consideration that at least some UAP appear to operate in ways consistent with known earthly technologies, albeit ones that are still in their emergent stages.

AARO also gives us the following definition of UAP, according to an AARO Mission Brief featured at its website: “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) are sources of anomalous detections in one or more domains (i.e., airborne, seaborne, spaceborne, and/or transmedium) that are not yet attributable to known actors and that demonstrate behaviors that are not readily understood by sensors or observers.”

The brief goes on to define “anomalous detections” as “phenomena appearing to demonstrate capabilities or material properties exceeding the known state-of-the-art,” adding that UAP “may consist of one or more objects and may persist over an extended period,” are mainly “attributable to domain-awareness gaps, and in at least some cases “may represent advanced capabilities operating in domain awareness gaps.”

The AARO Mission Brief also separates the misidentification of known objects such as balloons and drones, as well as developmental or experimental platforms, from “genuine” UAP, which it clearly defines as AARO’s designated mission area.

According to past information produced by AARO under the tenure of its inaugural director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, typically reported UAP characteristics include appearances of generally round objects roughly 1-4 meters in size, possessing white, silver, or translucent coloration. Performance altitudes, on average, fall within 10,000 to 30,000 feet, and velocities of the objects range from hovering in a stationary position to movement at speeds of up to Mach 2 (1534.54 miles per hour).

Despite such capabilities, no kind of thermal exhaust has been associated with these objects, and their propulsion systems remain unknown. Additional signatures associated with such genuinely anomalous UAP, according to AARO, include “intermittent, X-Band (8-12 GHz)” radar, as well as radio frequency emissions in the 1-3 GHz and 8-12 GHZ ranges. While no thermal exhaust evidencing propulsion is evident, intermittent shortwave infrared and medium-wave infrared thermal signatures are occasionally detectable.

“That’s what we’re looking for and trying to understand what that is,” Kirkpatrick told U.S. Senators during an April 2023 hearing that first revealed the AARO technical data described above.

Given the specificity of such technical information (all of which, as cited above, relates to AARO materials produced in 2023 during its early period in operation), one must wonder how such details could be derived from any of the videos or other materials the Department of War has released under the recent PURSUE initiative.

The obvious implication is that the data described above must have other, better-quality sources, which have not yet been released by AARO or the Department of War.

What This All Means, for Now

Of course, AARO also maintains that it has found no evidence of extraterrestrial technologies in its UAP investigations. All this taken together, a few things can be concluded based on the totality of AARO’s findings since its investigations began: 1) some objects appear to be genuinely anomalous, which AARO calls UAP, 2) AARO takes its investigations of these objects seriously, 3) studies involving breakthrough or disruptive technologies available at its website imply that AARO may suspect some UAP of being related to such developments, and are therefore not currently misidentifications of well-known objects or technologies, but possible “breakthrough” technologies whose origins remain unattributed, and 4) specific details about appearance and operational characteristics of AARO’s UAP “target package” strongly suggest the existence of higher quality UAP data that likely remains classified.

If it ends up being true that additional, higher-quality UAP data exists in U.S. government holdings—data from which AARO’s own technical attributes for genuinely “anomalous” UAP are derived—it therefore stands to reason that the recent batches of imagery fall significantly short of being the “best data” that has been obtained about these objects. Still, some of the videos, such as DOW-UAP-PR061 (described earlier in this article), nonetheless appear to match the so-called “target package” for genuine UAP first characterized by Kirkpatrick in 2023, even if they aren’t the most astonishing UAP videos in existence. Again, we should consider the conditioning outlined earlier, which has helped to encourage the public’s never-ending expectation for “extraordinary” revelations, most of which end up falling flat once they do finally come to light.

The bigger questions, for now, are whether such examples of higher-quality UAP data do indeed exist, and if so, whether they will be made public in any future releases.

“We are collecting as much data as possible, following the data where it leads, and sharing our findings whenever possible,” AARO states on its website. “We will not rush to conclusions in our analysis. In many cases, observed phenomena are classified as ‘unidentified’ simply because sensors were not able to collect enough information to make a positive attribution.”

Arguably, if there are better quality UAP materials in AARO’s holdings, there are probably very reasonable considerations for why that information has not yet been released, which may include uncertainty about whether some data could involve potentially sensitive information about experimental U.S. technologies or those of foreign adversaries, the release of which could have implications that, for now, may warrant secrecy.

In conclusion, although most of the videos in the recent Pentagon UAP releases provide too little data to draw any firm conclusions, arguably, some of the most important considerations are made evident by what the recent releases don’t contain—especially when compared to the information AARO uses as the basis for what it calls “genuine” UAP.

To borrow that overused X-Files quip once again, “the truth is out there.” Whether we’ll be seeing the best data that supports that truth any time soon is another question entirely.

GLEN KEOGH: Will Trump’s family connection to UFO obsessed geek Gary McKinnon finally free him from threat of a US supermax prison

GLEN KEOGH: Will Trump’s family connection to UFO obsessed geek Gary McKinnon finally free him from threat of a US supermax prison

By GLEN KEOGH, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

It would be fair to say that President Donald Trump has a lot on his plate, not least the wars in Iran and Ukraine and the looming midterm elections later this year.

Despite this, however, Mr Trump has devoted at least some of his time to matters much further afield. From different galaxies.

With the President’s blessing, the Pentagon has released hundreds of previously secret files on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) – better known as UFOs – from the likes of Nasa and the CIA.

They include videos purporting to show unknown flying objects in destinations from the Persian Gulf to Syria – including a suspected UFO being destroyed in gunfire.

There are grainy black-and-white images and videos of suspected alien phenomena stretching back decades.

One ‘senior US intelligence officer’ said he witnessed ‘orange orbs flaring up and down’ from a military helicopter last year after inspecting a suspected UFO site in the western United States. ‘They were oval-shaped, orange with a white or yellow centre, and emitted light in all directions,’ the officer noted in the declassified files.

A state department cable from the US embassy in Tajikistan in 1994 detailed how one Tajik pilot and three Americans witnessed a brightly lit UAP ‘making 90-degree turns, doing corkscrews and manoeuvring in circles at great rates of speed’.

Watching all this unfold almost 4,000 miles away from his home near Leicester, was one Gary McKinnon.

Twenty-four years have passed since Mr McKinnon was arrested in a north London flat by officers from the now-defunct National Hi-Tech Crime Unit

Twenty-four years have passed since Mr McKinnon, then a 36-year-old computer geek with an interest in UFOs bordering on the obsessive, was arrested in a north London flat by officers from the now-defunct National Hi-Tech Crime Unit.

Handcuffed in his pyjamas at dawn, the unemployed programmer suspected why the squad searching the property might be there – but reasoned that if he had committed a crime, it was deserving of little more than a slap on the wrist.

In the months before the police showed up, Mr McKinnon, who has autism (formerly known as Asperger’s syndrome), had been spending 12 hours each day looking for ‘proof’ of extraterrestrial life on the internet – then in its infancy – in the kitchen of a flat in Crouch End belonging to his then girlfriend’s aunt.

Using the codename ‘Solo’, he had decided the best way to find evidence of UFOs was ‘from the horse’s mouth’, he told me in his first newspaper interview for years. So he hacked into dozens of Nasa and military computers in what the US authorities would later brand ‘the biggest military computer hack of all time’.

It wasn’t the typical work of a cyber terrorist: Mr McKinnon was on a cheap desktop computer, and found that many of the supposedly elite databases used easily breakable codes – like ‘password’ as the computer password – allowing him to infiltrate the devices. ‘It wasn’t particularly clever,’ he recalls. Indeed, as a 1970s classic rock fan and something of a hippy, his UFO ‘research’ while hunched over the monitor on his kitchen table would often be accompanied by a beer and marijuana ‘joint’.

Yes, he did wrong – but master villain he was not.

That did not stop the US Justice Department indicting him on eight counts of computer-related crimes and accusing him of more than £370,000 worth of damage to their military systems as he looked for evidence of little green men between February 2001 and March 2002.

Rather than six months’ community service, as Mr McKinnon had been warned he might receive if prosecuted in the UK, he was now facing extradition to America and up to 70 years in a US supermax prison.

That this all took place against the backdrop of 9/11 only made matters worse, as he was accused of using the cover of UFO-hunting for more nefarious activities at a time when the terror threat was at a critical level.

Mr McKinnon was, at the very least, naive. He used his own email address and left digital ‘notes’ on the US systems warning them that their ‘security was crap’ or, more unwisely, ‘I am Solo and I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels’.

What followed was a ten-year diplomatic row after successive British Home Secretaries refused to block Mr McKinnon’s extradition. In 2005, as the process rumbled on, he was arrested on the street in London and whisked by police to Brixton Prison.

He became a cause celebre, with the US attempting to make an example of him after he had exposed its lax military cybersecurity. His supporters insisted he had not caused any real damage and his autism was not being properly considered. ‘They were the big bully in the playground,’ Mr McKinnon, now 60, says of the US’s conduct back then.

Sir Keir Starmer, then Director of Public Prosecutions, backed sending him to the US, according to Mr McKinnon’s late mother.

It was only after countless High Court hearings and high-profile campaigns – spearheaded by the Daily Mail – and the backing of MPs and musicians such as Sting and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, that Mr McKinnon was finally spared extradition in 2012 on the orders of then Home Secretary Theresa May. It was then decided he would not be prosecuted in the UK, either.

Now, Mr McKinnon’s story is set to grip the public once more with a television dramatisation of his life in the pipeline based on the memoir of his beloved mother, Janis Sharp, who was so prominent in the campaign to free her son and sadly died from cancer in March.

Even now, 14 years after he was finally told he would not be extradited to the US, the Daily Mail can reveal that Mr McKinnon continues to be punished by his harrowing ordeal – today, he still cannot leave England or Wales for fear of arrest.

Should he set foot in a foreign jurisdiction, he risks immediate extradition to the States and prosecution. He could not even go to his father’s 2016 funeral in Scotland, where Mr McKinnon was born. As his lawyers pointed out, the Scottish legal system is different and could facilitate extradition. His mum, in her book Saving Gary McKinnon: A Mother’s Story, said the threat of extradition hangs over him ‘like the sword of Damocles’.

So how does he feel today given that Mr Trump has now released the very information he was searching for, supposedly in the interests of ‘transparency’? ‘I guess it does [vindicate me],’ he says. ‘It proves that they’ve known about them [UFOs] for a long time, but I already knew that.’

He believes the US pursued him with such fervour because, in the wake of 9/11, they ‘needed a poster boy . . . and I almost offered myself up.’ But shouldn’t the US now drop its threat of arrest? ‘I would love to be able to travel abroad,’ Mr McKinnon replies. ‘It’s up to the President. He does seem unpredictable but he might be supportive.’

In an unusual twist, Mr McKinnon believes the President may have another reason for coming to his assistance: the two could be distantly related. Mr McKinnon’s grandfather, Donald MacLeod, was born in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

Mr Trump’s mother Mary had the same surname of MacLeod and was born just four miles from Stornoway in the village of Tong. A coincidence? Perhaps.

The psychological scars from Mr McKinnon’s ordeal continue to run deep. ‘I was very depressed for a long time,’ he says. ‘It modifies your behaviour. It makes you more withdrawn. It took me a while to get out of that but I’m OK now.’

He admits to being less obsessed with the extraterrestrial today than he used to be.

For a number of years, he has run his own internet search engine optimisation company, helping businesses gain prominence on Google. Does his infamous background help or hinder him?

‘Some customers are aware of my background but I never mention it,’ he says. ‘They say: “If you can get into the Pentagon, you can probably help with my website!” ’

He has also set up his own store on Etsy selling handmade and quirkily hand-painted vases and coasters, under the name Fablicious.

Today, he is a man content, living a quiet life with his long-term partner Lucy, away from the glare of the media spotlight which followed him for a decade.

Surely, Mr Trump, the time has come to remove the threat of arrest and prosecution from your fellow UFO enthusiast?

CIA-UAP-017 Cable Reveals 2008 Harare Airport UFO Sighting

The CIA placed assets on high alert in 2008 after a UAP hovered over Harare International Airport, according to a newly declassified PURSUE cable.

Key Takeaways

  • CIA-UAP-017 cable details a 2008 UAP sighting at Harare International Airport.
  • PURSUE program declassified 72 UAP files on June 12, 2026.
  • FAA now requires formal reporting of UAPs to AARO and national security units.
  • Ariel School 1994 incident involved 62 students witnessing a landing in Ruwa.

The CIA-UAP-017 Cable and the 2008 Harare Incident

A recently declassified document, known as the CIA-UAP-017 cable, has shed new light on a significant aerial encounter at Zimbabwe’s primary aviation hub. Released as part of the PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters) program, the record details a Zimbabwe 2008 UAP sighting that occurred on July 2, 2008, at what is now known as Robert Mugabe International Airport. The document reveals that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) placed its regional assets on high alert following reports of an unidentified craft hovering at an undetermined altitude directly over the facility.

According to the Department of War PURSUE Release 03, which included 72 UAP-related files declassified on June 12, 2026, observers described the object as disc-like with a hollow center and rotating lights on its underside. The cable notes that the object emitted beams before shifting colors and ascending rapidly out of visual range. This incident triggered an intense internal debate among intelligence officials regarding whether the craft represented an advanced reconnaissance device from a foreign government or an unexplained phenomenon of unknown origin.

Evolution of UAP Reporting in Aviation

The disclosure of the Harare International Airport UFO sighting highlights a broader shift in how aviation authorities handle anomalous aerial activity. Under the current February 2026 UAP Declassification Directive, the U.S. government has mandated a more transparent approach to historical airspace incursions. This policy shift is reflected in modern FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) guidelines, such as Notice JO 7210.970 / JO 7110.800, which formalize the reporting process for air traffic controllers. These protocols ensure that unidentified targets are escalated to the National Tactical Security Operations (NTSO) and the AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) to maintain safety in controlled airspace.

Historical Context and Precedents

The 2008 event bears a thematic resemblance to the 1994 Ariel School UFO incident, where 62 students in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, reported a close encounter with a silver craft. While skeptical investigators have argued that the school incident may be attributed to mass psychogenic illness, the persistence of such reports has compelled defense agencies to dedicate resources to the systematic review of historical records. The following table compares the 2008 Harare incident with other notable aviation-related UAP events.

Metric2008 Harare Incident2006 O'Hare Incident2010 Hangzhou Incident
Primary Location Harare Airport O'Hare Airport Hangzhou Airport
Reported Object Disc-like craft Metallic disc Unidentified target
Operational Impact High alert status None (dismissed) Grounded flights

Technical Analysis of Airspace Incursions

This development indicates a fundamental change in the institutional treatment of UAP data. Historically, incidents like the 2006 O'Hare sighting were often met with regulatory dismissiveness or attribution to meteorological phenomena, such as hole-punch clouds. The current trajectory, driven by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Department of War, suggests that aviation safety is increasingly viewed through the lens of comprehensive airspace awareness. By integrating AARO protocols into standard FAA Orders & Notices, the industry is moving away from the stigmatization of sightings and toward a data-driven model of airspace security. This shift supports the broader goal of characterizing unauthorized incursions—whether they are drones, classified military hardware, or genuine anomalies—to mitigate collision risks and operational disruptions.

What Comes Next: The PURSUE Program

The PURSUE UAP files release is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2026. Defense officials have indicated that further tranches of documents will be processed to address the backlog of intelligence reports. As the Department of War continues its review, stakeholders in civil aviation and defense are tracking the following milestones:

  • Ongoing Declassification: Periodic release of records under the February 2026 directive.
  • AARO Integration: Continued refinement of the reporting interface between civil ATC and federal security agencies.
  • Policy Review: Potential updates to international airspace safety standards based on the aggregate data from these historical files.

Why This Matters for Aviation Safety

For commercial pilots, air traffic controllers, and airport operators, the formalization of UAP reporting represents a critical step toward reducing professional stigma and enhancing situational awareness. By treating these sightings as legitimate data points rather than anomalies, regulators are better positioned to protect controlled airspace from unauthorized incursions. The transparency mandated by the current administration ensures that the aviation community can rely on a structured, scientific framework to address the complexities of modern airspace management.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the CIA-UAP-017 cable? The CIA-UAP-017 cable is a declassified intelligence document released under the PURSUE program that details a 2008 UAP sighting at Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe.
  • How has the FAA changed its reporting policy for UAP sightings?  The FAA has updated its guidelines, such as Notice JO 7210.970, to formalize the reporting of UAP activity. Air traffic controllers are now required to log and escalate sightings of unidentified objects to the National Tactical Security Operations and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office

UFO over Zimbabwe in summer 2008 had CIA on 'high alert'

UFO over Zimbabwe in summer 2008 had CIA on 'high alert'

by Staff reporter
Zimbabwe has once again found itself at the centre of global discussions about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) following the release of newly declassified United States government documents detailing a mysterious aerial sighting over Harare in 2008.

According to a CIA cable made public as part of a recent tranche of declassified UFO files, intelligence officials placed assets in Zimbabwe on high alert after a strange object was reportedly observed hovering above Harare International Airport, now known as Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, on July 2, 2008.

The document describes an unidentified craft that reportedly remained stationary above the airport at an undetermined altitude before witnesses observed beams of light emanating from it. Observers reportedly described the object as disc-shaped with a hollow centre and rotating lights on its underside. The report states that the lights later changed colour before the object rapidly ascended and disappeared from view.

The sighting triggered internal debate among US officials over whether the object could have been an advanced surveillance platform operated by a foreign government or an unexplained aerial phenomenon. The report did not reach a definitive conclusion regarding the object's origin.
The documents form part of a broader release of previously classified records ordered by US President Donald Trump earlier this year as part of an initiative aimed at increasing transparency around unidentified aerial phenomena. However, US officials have stressed that the files do not provide conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial life and that many of the incidents remain unresolved due to insufficient data.

The Harare incident has renewed attention on one of Zimbabwe's most famous UFO cases — the 1994 sighting at Ariel School in Ruwa, where dozens of schoolchildren reported witnessing a silver craft land near their school grounds. The case attracted international attention and remains one of the most widely discussed UFO encounters in history.

Crop from page two of CIA-UAP-017, released in PURSUE Release 03. The CIA report is heavily redacted and marked "Information Report, Not Finally Evaluated Intelligence."
Researchers, journalists and psychologists have continued to debate the Ruwa incident for more than three decades, with no universally accepted explanation emerging.

While the newly released CIA cable offers fresh details about the 2008 Harare sighting, it does not provide any definitive answers. Instead, it adds another chapter to Zimbabwe's long association with some of the world's most intriguing unexplained aerial phenomena.

As interest in the declassified files grows, analysts note that the release is likely to fuel further debate among believers, sceptics and researchers alike. For now, the events reported over Harare's skies in 2008 remain officially unexplained.
