Now this is something...I found a structure on Earths moon in an old Apollo 10 mission photo. I just found it about half an hour ago. The structure is visible without adding contrast...because its smack dab in the center of the photo itself. The building is really huge, about 1.5 miles high, about 2 miles across at its base, and at its top is a lilly flower opening that extends out about 1.2 miles from end to end. Its impossible and yet there it is, sitting in the NASA photo for us to find. 

 

I had to add some contrast to the photo to make it pop. I wanted the detail to stand out and stand out it did! Why they yellow shows up I can only guess its the tinting on the window of the NASA spacecraft orbiting the moon.

 

Aliens...they go big because they are home.

Now this is a very important video released by the Dept of War in the fourth release. Its significant because the fact that the UFO is matching speed with the US military plane and then suddenly the UFO shoots toward the US plane, just missing it as it shows off its alien tech capabilities. Aliens like to feel superior...well because they are in all ways, however the arogance of these advanced species is often their most vulnerable area due to them being over confident and not expecting certain tech can shoot down UFOs or cause UFOs to crash. I estimate that about 100 UFOs have been recovered by world governments, but only about 30% were shared with the USA, the others were kept for other countries to advance their science and tech to try to use it to become a new world power.

Ancient Alien Face In Antarctica 🇦🇶 Google Earth Map Discovery, UFO UAP paranormal sighting news.👽

Date of discovery: Aug 1, 2026

Location of discovery: Antarctica

Source: Google Earth Map

 

I found this huge face in Antarctica last night. I used Google Earth map to find it. Aliens made the face from an island in a lake area and the sunlight is hitting it perfect, just as the aliens who made it intended to happen. Alien artists think on higher level than humans. They consider things like sunlight, earths crust movement, shadows, and all aspects of nature to create these marvelous signs they leave behind for us to discover. You see...they want us to find them, because they want us to reach a level where humans and aliens can intermingle one day. Yet, so many reject all possibilities of such things being real...all because the US gov CIA pushed an agenda to use psychological warfare on UFO and alien research by giving them a tool to allow the public to easily reject authentic alien discoveries of faces and shapes with a CIA tool...called "pareidolia." But are you aware that this word also describes what you see in the mirror too? What you see when looking at your own face? Its true, now you are beginning to understand...its a US gov lie to hide the truth...that aliens were here long before us...and left millions of signs behind...and they will be here long after us.

Mini masterpieces! Remarkable 40,000-year-old bird figurines the size of a thumbnail reveal the artistic genius of Ice Age humans

• READ MORE: Ancient beer tab is discovered on 4,000-year-old clay tablet 

By XANTHA LEATHAM, EXECUTIVE SCIENCE EDITOR

Archaeologists have uncovered two exquisitely carved bird figurines dating back 40,000 years, each no bigger than a human thumbnail.

The miniature Ice Age masterpieces were discovered in the famous Hohle Fels Cave in southwest Germany, one of Europe's richest prehistoric archaeological sites.

Experts believe the tiny sculptures were painstakingly carved from mammoth ivory by some of the earliest modern humans to settle in Europe.

Measuring just two to three centimetres long, one bird appears to be brooding while the other has its wings outstretched as though soaring through the air.

The remarkably lifelike carvings were found during excavations after researchers painstakingly sifted every gram of sediment removed from the cave.

Researchers think the carvings resemble ptarmigans, grouse-like birds that would have lived in the cold Ice Age environment.

They believe the figurines could have served as personal talismans or as symbols of identity of the person who carved or carried them.

‘The figurines demonstrate that the earliest artists were skilled ivory carvers who could depict delicate motifs in miniature form,’ Professor Nicholas Conard, director of excavations at the University of Tübingen, said.

Measuring just two to three centimetres long, one bird appears to be brooding while the other has its wings outstretched as though soaring through the air

Archaeologists excavate the cave in tiny sections just two to three centimetres deep before washing the soil through fine sieves in search of the smallest artefacts

The newly discovered birds are extremely small, approximately 2cm long by 1cm wide (0.8 x 0.4 inches).

The resting bird is depicted in great detail with prominent eyes, while the bird with outstretched wings has a distinctive beak and clear markings representing feathers.

‘The figurines in their present state weigh only 1.3 and 0.7 grams and are the smallest and finest depictions from this period, 40,000 years ago,’ Professor Conard said.

Modern experiments recreating similar Ice Age carvings suggest they would have taken hundreds of hours of skilled work using primitive tools.

Professor Conard believes the artistic skill displayed by these early humans reflects a leap in cultural and cognitive sophistication that may have helped them flourish across Ice Age Europe while other groups disappeared.

The discoveries add to the extraordinary collection of prehistoric art already unearthed at Hohle Fels Cave.

Previous finds include the world-famous Venus of Hohle Fels, thought to be the oldest known depiction of a human figure, along with some of the world's earliest musical instruments.

Fragments of a vulture-bone flute were also uncovered during the latest excavation season, suggesting music may once have echoed through the cave.

Exactly why the figurines were created remains a mystery.

Some experts believe they may have played a role in storytelling, spiritual rituals or rites of passage, while others suggest they helped preserve memories or reinforce group identity.

‘These objects were created with a purpose other than simple enjoyment,’ Daniel Adler, a palaeolithic archaeologist at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, told Nature.

Lyn Wadley, a specialist in African archaeology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, believes the objects could have been used in rites of passage, such as pregnancy or birth.

Top-secret files reveal 'metallic triangle UFO' lurking over Brit holiday hotspot

Declassified US military files have revealed a secret encounter between a plane and a metallic, triangular UFO soaring over a popular Mediterranean holiday spot

A mysterious triangular UFO has been exposed lurking directly above a favourite Brit holiday hotspot in newly released military files. Top-secret US government documents detail a bizarre mid-air encounter over the eastern Mediterranean, giving holidaymakers a chilling reason to look up from their sunbeds.

The spooky encounter came to light following a massive declassification dump ordered by President Donald Trump. Among the trove of newly exposed papers is an official military report detailing an encounter between an American plane and a mysterious aircraft while flying back to base between Greece and Turkey.

Military observers officially logged the strange shape in the sky as a "triangular and metallic" object.

According to the report, the unknown craft was spotted cruising at 24,989 feet (around 7,600 metres) while travelling at 168 knots (roughly 193mph).

While it might not be pulling off Star Wars-style hyperspace jumps, the strange vessel proved unusual enough to spark a top-level military probe. However, spooks are still keeping some details under wraps.

The exact date of the sighting remains heavily redacted in the public papers, while several chunks of the document are stamped with the code "1.4(a)" - a government mark used to hide sensitive data, including the identities of the pilot involved.

The report was previously slapped with a "secret/NOFORN" classification, meaning it was strictly forbidden from being shared with foreign intelligence agencies or allies.

Speaking previously about the release of the files, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said: "The Department of War is moving at the same pace as President Trump to provide unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of unidentified anomalous phenomena."

He added: "These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fuelled justified speculation, and it's time the American people saw them for themselves."

The file release is part of a massive, ongoing government drop that has seen tens of millions of records spanning back as far as World War II being reviewed for public release.

Published through a dedicated official portal, new batches of military documents, raw video clips and pilot witness accounts are being unleashed in rolling tranches every few weeks.

Chicxulub Impact Dust May Have Fueled Dinosaur Extinction

RamseyHardin

About 66 million years ago, an asteroid 6 to 9 miles (10 to 15 kilometers) wide raced toward Earth at a speed of around 45,000 miles per hour. It struck the seas off the coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula with the force of billions of atomic bombs, carving out the 112-mile-wide Chicxulub crater. The asteroid vaporized almost instantly. Temperatures at the impact site soared to thousands of degrees, and a shockwave spread outward at supersonic speed, flattening forests and destroying the landscape for hundreds of miles. In the days that followed, the skies grew increasingly dark. Fine silicate dust, sulfur aerosols, and soot from the fires blocked the Sun's light. Temperatures dropped rapidly, and Earth entered an ‘impact winter’ of several years. Without sunlight, photosynthesis nearly ceased. Plants withered, and even microscopic phytoplankton in the oceans declined.

Did the Asteroid Kill the Dinosaurs?

For years, scientists have debated the most deadly aspects of the asteroid impact. A new study, “Heat and wildfires during the K-Pg mass extinction enhanced by fine dust,” published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, highlights the role of impact dust in triggering global fires and winter. Study author Brandon Johnson maintains:

"We’re in the realm where we might be essentially killing off everything within that first hour or two."

He emphasizes how impact dust played a key role in the rapid extinction of dinosaurs and other life forms.

The First Hours After the Chicxulub Impact

Results from geology and impact simulations reveal that the moment of impact triggered explosive temperatures and pressures, releasing energy that vaporized rock, kicking up an enormous cloud of dust and rock vapor, and propelling gaseous rock high into the atmosphere. As rock vapor cooled, it condensed into tiny rock droplets known as spherules. The spherules flew away from the impact crater, then returned to the surface as mini-meteorites. During their descent, the friction of the falling spherules cut through the air, generating an intense heat pulse.

The Missing Dust That Changed the Story

Previous studies suggested that these same spherules had an effect like turning on a worldwide broiler that radiated enough heat to sizzle thin-skinned animals without shelter, but not enough to set plants on fire immediately. For a while, this line of reasoning led researchers to reconsider the idea that the immediate effects of the Chicxulub impact were the principal factor behind the dinosaurs' extinction. Now, geologic investigations show that certain layers of rocks recorded the extinction event within North America. The rock layers contain a layer of extremely fine post-impact dust that formed originally from rock vapor that didn’t condense to form spherules. Johnson says, “It reinvigorated my interest in what happened to the leftover vapor - that’s where this work started.”

• The Younger Dryas Impact Research Debate – Are We There Yet? 

How Impact Dust Turned Earth Into a Furnace 

Combining previous simulations of the Chicxulub impact with geological observations from the extinction dust layer, the new study calculates the amount of dust held in the atmosphere immediately after impact and how that layer would boost Earth’s retention and release of heat from the falling spherules. With the dust blanket following, the heat released at the surface was 3.5 times more intense than with the spherules alone - enough to kill animals and even start spontaneous forest fires. Johnson goes on to say:

Lost Aquiry Civilization: LiDAR Reveals Millions Lived in the Amazon

Gary Manners

A latest study has uncovered that the Amazon rainforest, which has always been assumed to be a virtually untouched wilderness before the arrival of Europeans, was the site of a huge civilization now referred to as Aquiry. This civilization existed between 600 BC and 850 AD and occupied the southwestern part of the Amazon. The real shock is that it supported millions of people leaving behind extraordinary monuments for centuries under the thick jungle.

As is the case with all these revelations in the last decade, LiDAR was used to establish the presence of a settlements across about 4200 square kilometers of thick jungle in the Acre and Amazonas states of Brazil. The laser technology allowed for the identification of almost four hundred huge constructions that had never been noted before. Huge geometrical structures such as circles, squares, rectangles, and octagons served ceremonial or political purposes instead of forming settlements.

The sheer scale of the discovery cannot be overemphasized. The accomplishment of the Aquiry civilization spanned an area of 183,000 square kilometers, which is comparable to the total area of Syria or the UK. Extrapolating from the surveyed area, scientists estimate there could be over 20,000 such earthworks across the region. This civilization grew in size during the first millennium, and according to scientists, it might have comprised up to three million people. This number is much greater than earlier calculations based on more conservative assumptions concerning the pre-Columbian population of the Amazon.

Monumental Earthworks and Social Complexity

The Aquiry people left a significant impact on nature, creating geoglyphs by digging ditches up to five meters deep and using the soil removed to make mounds. Some of these geometric forms are several hundred meters across, displaying advanced organizational capabilities as well as knowledge of mathematic principles. The biggest of geoglyphs spans an area of close to 50 hectares. Since there was no stone in the area, the Aquiry only used earth to create their geoglyphs. As a result, unlike other civilizations that were contemporary with Aquiry, they did not leave behind any rock ruins.

As indicated by modern research and according to indigenous oral tradition, these places acted as the centers for building relations between the different communities, and other important beings. They were meant to serve the purpose of gathering places for different rituals, trade, political matters, and also displays of generosity of the local chieftains. In turn, rituals included dances, music, feasts, and games, showing that the society was highly developed in terms of social and ritual activities overall.

• Over 10,000 Earthworks in the Amazon Revealed By LiDAR

The Aquiry were not a single unified kingdom but a network of many different communities sharing a common worldview. This diversity is reflected in the varying dimensions, shapes, and construction methods of the earthworks. The major centers were often connected by wide, remarkably straight roads and causeways, forming a carefully planned regional network. "The cultures and societies that composed the Aquiry shared a common worldview and constructed ceremonial centers in a variety of monumental geometric forms," explained Professor Martti Pärssinen of the University of Helsinki, who led the study.

Shaping the Amazonian Landscape

The findings, published in the journal Nature, overturn the long-held belief that the Amazon was a pristine wilderness before European arrival. The Aquiry actively managed their environment on a vast scale, burning sections of bamboo-dominated forest to clear land for their monumental centers and for fields of maize, squash, and manioc. Building and maintaining these centers for around 1,500 years required a large workforce, a division of labor, and sophisticated administrative and cosmological motivations.

Furthermore, the civilization practiced sophisticated agroforestry. The study revealed that the prevalence of valuable, protein-rich tree species in the region—such as the Brazil nut and the peach palm—is the result of long-term human interaction. The Aquiry deliberately promoted the growth of culturally significant trees to the detriment of other species, shaping the forest's biodiversity in ways that are still visible today. This finding has direct implications for understanding the biocultural history of the Amazon and even for future climate models.

"The results we obtained disrupt our understanding of the Amazonian region's past," said Pärssinen. "The research shows that human impact on the Amazon environment has been much greater than previously believed."

A Mysterious Collapse and Unanswered Questions

Despite these significant discoveries, much about the Aquiry civilization remains unknown. Researchers have not yet determined what languages these communities spoke or what they called themselves. (The name "Aquiry" derives from the Indigenous Arawakan designation for the Acre River, meaning "river of caimans"). The civilization's apparent rapid disappearance around 850 AD is equally puzzling.

This timeline coincides strikingly with the relatively abrupt collapse of the Classic Maya civilization in Mesoamerica and the decline of the Tiwanaku and Wari cultures in the Andes. The temporal coincidence raises intriguing questions about possible continental-scale climatic or social factors that may have affected multiple civilizations across the Americas during that same period.

• Hotly Debated Origins of Pre-Inca Civilization of Tiwanaku Revealed
• What Happened to the Maya?

As archaeologists continue to scan the vast, uncharted expanses of the Amazon, it is likely that thousands more ancient settlements and earthworks lie hidden beneath the jungle canopy. If similar population densities are found elsewhere in Amazonia, the total pre-Columbian population of the Amazon could have reached tens of millions—a revelation that would fundamentally rewrite the history of the Americas.

I found this cube in a NASA image today. The cube is huge, earth size or bigger and its passing through a solar explosion...the perfect moment because its trying to collect some kind of powerful particles which normally only show up during solar explosions. The cube is clearly a three dimensional object. The side closest to the sun has some black areas that indicate cooler areas and there are lighter areas on the other side not facing the sun. The darker areas indicate there are places on the front of the cube that need protecting from the sun. 

Aliens...they are harvesting some "super particles" from our sun, probably to power their cities, ships and technology.

'UFOs' in The Large Hadron Collider May Be Hints of Dark Matter

"In our idea, a piece of dark matter passing through the Earth tens of kilometers away could create a tiny vibration, like someone lightly tapping the table under the watch. That vibration could travel to the LHC and shake loose a microscopic piece of dust inside it. If the dust then drifted into the proton beam, it could disrupt the machine and cause a beam-loss event."

The idea didn't originate with tiny, dark matter-induced shock waves.

Liang and Zhitnitsky study a hypothetical form of dark matter called axion quark nuggets, or AQNs. When they learned that the LHC's UFOs were thought to be the result of dust, one detail snagged their attention.

The specks of dust were estimated to be micron-sized – which is about the same size as the AQNs they study.

At first, they wondered whether the mysterious 'falling objects' might actually be AQNs. That turned out to be a dead end – the size match between the two was just a coincidence.

But the false lead ignited a new question: If AQNs aren't the dust itself, could they be the force that dislodges the dust from the beam screen?

"At first, we expected to find a relation between the LHC's mysterious 'unidentified falling objects' and dark matter. Later, we realized that we were actually putting forward the first proposal, to the best of our knowledge, to use the LHC to search for macroscopic, non-elementary dark matter," Liang and Zhitnitsky said.

"It is an amusing example of how a scientific idea can originate from an initial misconception and then develop into a serious research question."

To explore their idea, the pair naturally turned to physics.

We don't know what dark matter actually is. It barely interacts with the normal matter that the visible Universe is made of; we only know of its existence because of its gravitational effects.

Those effects show that dark matter is everywhere, but because it barely interacts with ordinary matter, it has remained frustratingly difficult to detect directly.

One hypothetical exception is AQNs – dense, macroscopic objects with masses up to about a kilogram (2.2 pounds) that could interact with their surroundings in ways individual dark matter particles do not.

The idea is speculative, but the researchers argue that, if an AQN passed through Earth within around 100 kilometers (62 miles) of the LHC, the tiny underground acoustic shock wave generated by its passage could very faintly shake the accelerator.

This shaking could be enough to rattle a few specks of dust into the proton beam, triggering a beam-loss event.

These signals, the team calculated, would be about five times stronger than background noise.

They would produce a distinctive pattern that scientists could identify as the fingerprint of an AQN event: three or more correlated UFOs within 2 seconds of each other at successive points along the 27-kilometer (17-mile) LHC tunnel.

And the search could happen now, without any additional hardware or modifications required to the existing facility.

"What makes our case especially appealing is that the LHC already has excellent monitoring systems built in, the beam-loss monitors, that were installed for a totally different reason (protecting the machine from damage)," Liang and Zhitnitsky said.

"It turns out they may also be sensitive to something no one designed them to detect."

The pair has not searched existing LHC records themselves. Instead, the paper is intended to motivate a reanalysis of past UFO events to see whether the predicted bursts are already hiding in the data – and to inspire dedicated campaigns in the future.

The approach might not be limited to the LHC either. Other particle accelerators, if large enough, could also possibly detect these AQN events, forming a global acoustic detector network.

"It would meaningfully broaden the landscape of dark matter research. Much of the field has understandably focused on microscopic elementary particles, while macroscopic, non-elementary candidates remain comparatively under-explored," they told ScienceAlert.

"A detection of correlated UFO events would offer compelling support for a macroscopic-object explanation, and would encourage the community to consider a wider range of dark-matter candidates alongside the elementary-particle picture."

Mind-bending discovery deep inside notorious UFO hotspot leaves experts stunned

Researcher Brandon Fugal claims his team drilled into a mesa in Utah, US and discovered underground voids and a debris field of material that does not match the area's natural soil composition

BY Tom McGhie

A discovery at a paranormal “hotspot” notorious for UFO sightings has left experts stunned.

Skinwalker Ranch is a massive 512-acre property in northeast Utah, US and has been a centre for paranormal investigations for over 30 years. Owner Brandon Fugal claims his team has retrieved manufactured materials from deep within the ranch's rocky mesa, including heat-resistant ceramic fragments and peculiar metals.

He told American Alchemy podcast host Jesse Michels that drilling equipment repeatedly hit an enigmatic underground object before extracting material that didn't resemble the surrounding landscape.

“There's something under the mesa,” said Fugal. “To be extracting material that is manufactured, that's engineered, from hundreds of feet within the mesa.”

The team has also detected potential underground voids and identified what it believes to be an invisible energy anomaly enveloping the site. But no spacecraft has been discovered and the material has not been definitively linked to extraterrestrial technology or scrutinised in a published, a peer-reviewed study found.

Fugal, a real estate developer, bought Skinwalker Ranch from billionaire aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow in 2016 and converted it into a closely monitored outdoor laboratory.

The team of researchers started drilling into the mesa in 2021 after ground-penetrating radar hinted at potential voids and an odd subterranean formation. The probe was initially launched to verify long-standing rumours that caves, tunnels or a man-made structure were hidden beneath the rocks.

“We thought, well, let's debunk it,” said Fugal. But the researchers stumbled upon a debris field filled with material that seemed out of place with the region's natural soil and rocks.

“There's both a debris field of material that does not fit,” said Fugal. “It is unusual and not a natural part of the landscape or soil composition, which has been verified. It appears that there are voids within the mesa, which is what initially led us to conduct ground-penetrating radar studies.”

Researcher Brandon Fugal claims his team drilled into a Utah mesa and discovered underground voids and a debris field of material that does not match the area's natural soil composition.

Guys, you know I love searching the NASA indexes of odd and excitingly revealing things. Well, found one in Sol 3076 today thats a bit spooky. This one is a coffin...and not just any coffin, but a pod-like organic looking coffin. The veins in the wall of the coffin is a dead give away. Also the lid of the coffin is about one quarter of the full width...same as coffins here on Earth. The veins...wow! The veins run through the walls of the coffin as if it were grown...which makes me wonder if this alien species was able to make their own biological resting place...like a butterfly makes a cocoon. We have so much to learn about other intelligent alien species...like how they begin life, live life and how they deal with the end of life.

UFO Next To NASA Space Station, its almost 100 meters across! UAP Paranormal Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 30, 2026

Location of sighting: Earths orbit at space station

Guys this whole post just disappeared off my site, so I'm writing it again...weird. I found this rectangle UFO in a NASA photo and its hovering very close to the International Space Station. The UFO is in high detail, no wings, no windows, no engines, no insignia. This thing has zero signs that its made by humans...so I'm saying its alien tech. Also compounded with the fact that this is about 100 meters across and so close to the space station that the alien crew could easily use telepathy to not just view the experience through the eyes of the crew, but can also hear, feel and understand the thoughts as if it were their own. They are literally in the heads of the astronauts on board the space station. They can even download a persons full life memories in just 6 seconds without the person being harmed in any way. Why? To learn if humans are a danger or not to them and to other alien species. But not only that, knowledge is the most prized possession of aliens. They want to experience human behavior first had. Also compounded with the fact most alien species are so ancient they forgot their own history millions of years ago at the beginning, so they watch over us, protecting Earth, and studying us to learn more about themselves.

The flight crew noticed a bright red-orange spherical light flying parallel to their aircraft and reportedly maintained a constant distance and altitude, matching the aircraft's movements. The crew informed civilian air traffic control, which allegedly confirmed an unusual radar contact. Also military radar stations were reportedly alerted, and the object was also said to have appeared on military radar systems. 

Witnesses interviewed years later, including former radar operators and military personnel claimed that the object displayed extraordinary acceleration. 

According to later witness testimony, the Yugoslav Air Force scrambled MiG-21 interceptors to investigate but the UFO easily outmaneuvered the MiG-21 fighters, and one or more interceptors experienced serious problems, eventually a MiG-21 crashed and its pilot was killed after the encounter. However, this part of the story has never been independently verified through official military records and remains controversial.

An ancient civilization of millions once flourished in the Amazon

by Juha Merimaa, University of Helsinki

Laser scanning reveals traces of land modification

The research was conducted using airborne laser scanning, or LiDAR. This technology maps landforms beneath vegetation, and the survey revealed thousands of traces of the ancient civilization in previously unstudied parts of the rainforest. The laser scanning covered an area of about 4,500 square kilometers (1,700 square miles), more than half of which was used for systematic assessment of the civilization's earthworks.

"We flew straight transects roughly 450 kilometers (280 miles) long, mapping a strip about 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) wide every 10 kilometers (6 miles). This allowed us to cover as large a continuous area as possible," says Professor Juha Hyyppä of the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (National Land Survey of Finland), who was responsible for the study's technical execution.

The detected features include large geometric shapes and straight roads.

"Their varying dimensions, shapes, construction methods and locations reflect the distinct geographical and cultural characteristics of the region," notes Risto Kalliola, emeritus professor at the University of Turku.

According to native oral traditions, these centers were built to foster relations among communities and with significant other beings, while also serving as venues for gatherings, political decision-making and displays of chiefly generosity. Ceremonies included ritual dance, music, feasting, athletic contests and ball games.

A civilization without stone ruins

Relatively little is still known about the Aquiry civilization. Its territory was roughly equivalent in size to modern-day Syria. Because the region lacks stone, no stone ruins remain, but the monumental geometric earthworks—known as Amazonian geoglyphs—nonetheless reveal the scale of the civilization.

The name Aquiry comes from the name Indigenous peoples used for the Acre River. "This was not a single realm but a network of many different communities," notes the professor of Indigenous studies at the University of Helsinki.

It is not known what languages were spoken across these communities, nor what they called themselves.

Nor is it known what caused the civilization's apparently rapid collapse around 850 CE. Around the same time, the Classic Maya civilization in Central America also collapsed relatively abruptly.

A paranormal hotspot in Utah notorious for UFO sightings, strange creatures and unexplained events may be hiding its greatest secret beneath the surface.

Skinwalker Ranch, a 512-acre property in the state’s northeast, has been the focus of paranormal investigations for more than three decades.

Now, owner Brandon Fugal claims his team has extracted manufactured material from hundreds of feet inside the ranch’s rocky mesa, including heat-resistant ceramic fragments and unusual metals.

Fugal told American Alchemy podcast host Jesse Michels that drilling equipment repeatedly struck a mysterious underground object before pulling out material that did not match the surrounding landscape.

‘There’s something under the mesa,’ Fugal declared. ‘To be extracting material that is manufactured, that’s engineered, from hundreds of feet within the mesa.’

The team has also detected possible underground voids and identified what it believes is an invisible energy anomaly surrounding the site.

However, no spacecraft has been uncovered, and the material has not been conclusively linked to extraterrestrial technology or examined in a published, peer-reviewed study.

Regardless, the discoveries have fueled extraordinary speculation that a UFO, secret technology or even a portal could be buried beneath the paranormal hotspot.

Skinwalker Ranch has long been associated with reports of UFOs, cattle mutilations, wolf-like creatures, unexplained illnesses and equipment failures

Fugal, a prominent real estate developer, purchased Skinwalker Ranch from billionaire aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow in 2016 and transformed it into a closely monitored outdoor laboratory.

The ranch has long been associated with reports of UFOs, cattle mutilations, wolf-like creatures, unexplained illnesses and equipment failures.

Researchers began drilling into the mesa in 2021 after ground-penetrating radar detected possible voids and an unusual underground formation.

The investigation was initially intended to test longstanding rumors that caves, tunnels or an artificial structure had been concealed beneath the rocks.

‘We thought, well, let’s debunk [it],’ Fugal said, explaining that his team wanted to either find evidence supporting the stories or dismiss them.

Instead, he claimed, the researchers discovered a debris field containing material that appeared inconsistent with the area’s natural soil and rocks.

‘There’s both a debris field of material that does not fit,’ Fugal said. ‘It is unusual and not a natural part of the landscape or soil composition, which has been verified.

‘It appears that there are voids within the mesa, which is what initially led us to conduct ground-penetrating radar studies.’

Owner Brandon Fugal claims his team has extracted manufactured material from hundreds of feet inside the ranch’s rocky mesa, including heat-resistant ceramic fragments and unusual metals

Fugal told American Alchemy podcast host Jesse Michels that drilling equipment repeatedly struck a mysterious underground object before pulling out material that did not match the surrounding landscape

Fugal said samples recovered through two boreholes included fragments resembling heat-resistant ceramic tiles used on spacecraft.

He also claimed some samples produced electromagnetic signatures that appeared to restore themselves after being disrupted, although he did not provide enough technical information to establish what the alleged ‘self-repairing’ effect involved.

Michels said europium and thallium had also been identified among material recovered from the mesa.

Europium is a rare-earth element commonly used in electronics, specialized glass and fluorescent materials, while thallium is a toxic metal with several industrial and technological applications.

Both elements occur naturally on Earth and are used in human manufacturing. Their presence alone would not prove that the fragments came from an extraterrestrial spacecraft.

The team also claimed its drills repeatedly struck metal or another extremely hard obstruction inside the formation.

Fugal said experienced drilling crews encountered dramatic equipment failures while attempting to penetrate it.

Fugal claimed much of the available aerial record was missing between 1964 and 1969, while a section of a 1969 image appeared blurred or smoothed over. The apparently altered section reportedly formed a teardrop shape above the same area where radar later detected the underground anomaly

‘Every drilling expert, and I’m talking every one we’ve brought out, has experienced dramatic equipment malfunctions,’ he said.

‘Their tungsten carbide steel drill bits, some of the most durable available, have been rendered completely damaged and unusable.

‘These men perform drilling operations all over the world. They drill through solid granite. They drill through mountains.’

Fugal said the investigation is proceeding slowly because blasting or aggressively excavating the mesa could destroy whatever may be inside.

He compared the work to a delicate medical biopsy, with researchers removing small samples without damaging the larger formation.

‘Imagine if there’s a Stargate within the mesa,’ Fugal said. ‘If there’s some advanced technology that is behind or involved with the phenomena that we’re seeing… you don’t want to damage the very thing that you hope to unearth.’

The mystery deepened when the team recovered a weathered nickel dated 1964 from inside the formation.

Researchers began drilling into the mesa in 2021 after ground-penetrating radar detected possible voids and an unusual underground formation

Archaeologist Chris Roberts reportedly told the researchers that people working at excavation sites sometimes leave a contemporary coin behind to record when the ground was disturbed.

Fugal believes the nickel raises the possibility that someone entered or excavated the mesa during the 1960s, decades before Skinwalker Ranch became internationally famous.

Researchers then examined historical aerial photographs to determine whether the landscape had been disturbed around that time.

Fugal claimed much of the available aerial record was missing between 1964 and 1969, while a section of a 1969 image appeared blurred or smoothed over.

The apparently altered section reportedly formed a teardrop shape above the same area where radar later detected the underground anomaly.

‘Every time we get answers, we get more questions,’ Fugal said.

When Michels directly asked whether a UFO was buried inside the mesa, Fugal stopped short of endorsing that conclusion.

‘We’ll see,’ he replied, noting that an underground object could not technically be described as ‘flying.’

The team has also identified what it calls the ‘bubble,’ an invisible, roughly spherical anomaly believed to extend above and below part of the ranch.

Fugal said researchers used LiDAR and other instruments to map the region after repeatedly experiencing GPS failures, signal interference and equipment malfunctions within its apparent boundaries.

Multiple cameras also captured what he described as an unexplained mass above the ranch’s ‘Triangle’ area as rockets malfunctioned during experiments.

Fugal suggested the alleged field could be connected to whatever lies inside the mesa and may even act as a defense mechanism.

Researchers have reported UFOs appearing while the area was being probed, leading him to speculate that the team was being ‘monitored or warned.’

However, the existence of an underground craft or force field has not been independently established.

Ground-penetrating radar can detect differences in rock, moisture, density and underground cavities, but it cannot prove that an anomaly is an artificial structure or buried spacecraft.

Damaged drill bits and malfunctioning instruments could also have conventional mechanical, environmental or geological explanations.

Critics have further noted that much of the evidence has been presented through the History Channel series The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, rather than scientific studies allowing independent researchers to scrutinize the samples, methods and complete data.

Fugal insists the investigation is genuine and said he welcomes skeptical examination of the team’s work. ‘We’re led by the data, not an inherited narrative,’ he said.

Ancient Egyptian history rewritten as new clues reveal advanced technology used to build pyramids

• READ MORE: Mystery of 'second Sphinx' deepens as new footage reveals shafts that could lead to hidden structure

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

Egypt’s iconic pyramids have captivated the world for centuries, as questions persist over exactly how ancient builders constructed the towering monuments with such remarkable precision.

Now, new clues uncovered near the Nile have suggested that ancient builders may have mastered advanced construction techniques centuries before the pyramids of Giza rose from the desert.

Archaeologists excavating a 5,000-year-old burial ground on the Nile’s eastern bank have uncovered two tombs containing architectural features that appear to foreshadow those later used to construct Egypt’s pyramids.

The structures had walls that were thicker at the bottom and gradually narrowed toward the top, a design that provided greater stability.

Similar engineering principles would later be employed on a monumental scale in Egypt’s step pyramids and the great pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure that followed.

Researchers also discovered evidence of ancient stone-cutting methods and enormous wooden supports built into the tombs, some extending along the full length of the walls.

The remarkably 'sophisticated' structures were found at Jabal al-Tayr in Egypt’s Minya Governorate, where people were buried over thousands of years.

Their resemblance to royal tombs at Abydos, where Egypt’s earliest kings were buried, suggests advanced building knowledge was already spreading across the country during the civilization’s formative centuries. 

Egypt’s iconic pyramids have captivated the world for centuries, as questions persist over exactly how ancient builders constructed the towering monuments with such remarkable precision

Researchers said the tombs provide a rare glimpse into the architectural experimentation that came before Egypt’s great stone pyramids, as builders developed burial structures into monuments designed to last for thousands of years. 

The discovery could rewrite ancient Egyptian history by suggesting that sophisticated engineering techniques linked to pyramid construction emerged earlier and spread more widely across the country than previously believed. 

Dr Hisham El-Leithy, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said early analysis revealed similarities between the newly discovered structures and the tomb of King Den, one of the most powerful rulers of Egypt’s First Dynasty. 

The First Dynasty was the first line of kings to rule a united ancient Egypt, beginning around 3100 BC after Upper and Lower Egypt were brought together as one kingdom. 

It marked the beginning of ancient Egypt as an organized state, with a central government, royal burial traditions and major advances in writing, engineering and architecture. King Den was one of its most influential rulers. 

El-Leithy described the first tomb as an exceptional discovery with a unique design, while noting that the second has a similar layout and remains remarkably well preserved.

Sherif Fathy, Egypt’s minister of tourism and antiquities, said the structures could help researchers trace how burial architecture evolved throughout ancient Egyptian history.

The structures had walls that were thicker at the bottom and gradually narrowed toward the top, a design that provided greater stability

Archaeologists also uncovered oxidation marks on the stone that may have been left as workers cut and prepared the blocks, along with wooden supports used to reinforce the walls.

Researchers also discovered evidence of ancient stone-cutting methods and enormous wooden supports built into the tombs, some extending along the full length of the walls. Above is an aerial view of the tombs

A second tomb discovered to the south was far better preserved, offering researchers a clearer view of its original design.

The team said the tombs provide a rare glimpse into the architectural experiments that preceded Egypt’s great stone pyramids, as builders began creating burial monuments designed to survive for thousands of years.

Researchers also uncovered part of a cemetery dating to before Egypt became a unified kingdom. 

Several people had been buried in curled positions and wrapped in woven plant mats, alongside black-topped pottery from the Naqada II and Naqada III periods.

The team also found human remains inside wooden coffins and laying outside in the dusty landscape

Naqada II and Naqada III were prehistoric stages of Egyptian civilization before the country was united under its first pharaohs. 

Individual and mass burials from Egypt’s Late Period had been unearthed, with some people placed inside wooden coffins, fragments of which survived despite extensive decay.

The discoveries suggest the site remained an important burial ground throughout several periods of ancient Egyptian history.

The Amazon's lost civilisation: Hidden network of 20,000 structures reveals rainforest once teemed with MILLIONS of people

• READ MORE: The Amazon is shifting into a 'hypertropical state', experts warn
  

By XANTHA LEATHAM, EXECUTIVE SCIENCE EDITOR

The Amazon rainforest may look like one of the last truly wild places on Earth – but experts have discovered evidence of a sprawling lost civilisation hidden beneath its dense canopy.

Scientists say the untamed wilderness was once home to millions of people who ‘flourished’ in sprawling communities connected by roads and ceremonial centres.

Using laser technology to peer through the rainforest, researchers uncovered hundreds of previously unknown ceremonial structures hidden beneath the trees.

The findings suggest the ancient Aquiry civilisation occupied an area the size of the UK and may have built more than 20,000 earthworks across the region.

Researchers estimate that between 1.25 million and three million people lived there at the start of the first millennium, overturning long-held beliefs about the Amazon's past.

The huge settlements featured political and religious centres linked by an extensive network of roads, revealing a remarkably sophisticated society.

The team, from the University of Helsinki, said the discovery could transform our knowledge of how ancient people lived in one of the world's most challenging environments.

‘Our findings overturn our understanding of the Amazon region’s past,’ Professor Martti Pärssinen, lead author of the study, said.

Lidar uses infrared light to uncover the shapes hidden underneath dense tree canopies. The huge settlements featured political and religious centres linked by an extensive network of roads, revealing a remarkably sophisticated society

For the study, the team used an airborne laser scanning technique known as LiDAR, which fires millions of laser pulses through gaps in the forest canopy to produce a detailed map of the ground hidden beneath the trees.

The scans revealed nearly 400 previously unknown earthworks – giant structures created by digging and shaping soil into enormous ditches, banks and geometric enclosures.

The researchers then used computer modelling to estimate how many similar sites are likely to remain undiscovered, concluding there could be around 20,000 earthworks spread across an area of roughly 400,000 square kilometres.

Many of the structures were built by digging deep ditches and piling the excavated earth into raised embankments, creating enormous shapes including circles, squares, rectangles and octagons, with some measuring hundreds of metres across.

Rather than serving as forts or homes, many of these earthworks appear to have been ceremonial and political centres, where people gathered for rituals, trade, feasting and important community events.

According to native oral traditions, these centres were built to foster relations among communities.

They also served as venues for gatherings, political decision-making and displays of chiefly generosity. Ceremonies included ritual dance, music, feasting, athletic contests and ball games.

The largest sites were linked by remarkably straight roads and causeways, suggesting the settlements formed part of a carefully planned regional network rather than isolated villages scattered through the rainforest.

The green points on this map indicate the areas where the huge earthworks were picked up by scanners

The Aquiry civilisation 

• An ancient Amazonian civilisation that lived in what is now the Brazilian state of Acre
• They flourished during the first millennium AD, with researchers estimating their population peaked between AD 100 and 300 
• Scientists estimate the region was home to between 1.25 million and three million people, making it one of the largest known pre-Columbian populations in the Amazon 
• Their territory covered around 400,000 square kilometres (154,000 square miles) in the southwestern Amazon—an area roughly comparable to the size of the UK 
• They constructed thousands of giant earthworks - huge ditches and raised embankments forming circles, squares, rectangles and octagons - along with roads connecting major ceremonial centres
• The Aquiry cultivated crops including maize, cassava and squash, practised horticulture and managed valuable tree species while maintaining much of the surrounding rainforest

The findings indicate the Aquiry people transformed the landscape on a vast scale while still maintaining extensive areas of forest.

This challenges the long-held belief that the Amazon was an untouched wilderness before European contact.

The researchers explained that the Aquiry burned sections of forest to clear land for the ceremonial centres and for fields of maize, squash and cassava.

This civilisation also practised horticulture and managed valuable tree species, they said.

‘The research shows that the human impact on the Amazon’s environment has been far greater than previously believed,’ Professor Pärssinen added.

‘This has direct implications for our understanding of the region’s biocultural history.’

He explained the Aquiry were not a single realm but a network of many different communities.

It is not known what languages were spoken across these communities, nor what they called themselves. It is also not clear what caused the civilisation's apparently rapid collapse around 850 AD

Researchers say only a tiny proportion of the rainforest has so far been surveyed using LiDAR.

This means thousands more ancient settlements and monumental earthworks could still lie hidden beneath the jungle canopy.

‘On the basis of both existing data and our LiDAR documentation, we show that this cultural area alone contains as many earthworks as previously estimated for the whole of Amazonia,’ the researchers wrote in the journal Nature.

‘We also propose that the total human population of the area in 100 - 300 AD was 1.25 to three million people.

‘If similar results are found elsewhere in Amazonia, the total precolonial population density and its effect on the current Amazonian soil and forest structure, biodiversity and even some modelling of the global climate should be re-evaluated.’

The Civilization That Disappeared Into the Jungle | Lost Cities of the AMAZON

Archaeologists Just Found the Amazon City Where a Famous Explorer Disappeared

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

The discoveries were made at Cova Dones in Millares, Valencia, a cave that presents evidence of human activity going back tens of thousands of years.

There, researchers recently documented at least 120 Latin inscriptions dating to the first and second centuries A.D.—a significant increase in the number of writings from this era known to exist at Cova Dones.

Previously, only around 15 of these inscriptions had been identified. The new findings elevate Cova Dones to what may be the Roman Empire’s largest known cave sanctuary containing Latin inscriptions.

The Ritual Space of an Ancient Goddess is Revealed

Research at the cave was led by researchers from the University of Alicante and the University of Zaragoza, which revealed not only the inscriptions, but also a well-preserved ritual space located at a depth of close to 200 meters within the cave.

Among the discoveries researchers have made are a small collection of votive inscriptions, which are dedicated to what appears to be a goddess referred to simply as “Domina,” which means “The Lady.”

Three of those inscriptions also feature an unrecognized epithet—MALACI—which the researchers believe may describe some aspect of this mysterious goddess, possibly related in some way to the water that flows through the underground ritual space within the cave.

“Thanks to a set of five votive inscriptions, we know for certain that in Roman times a goddess, reverentially called Domina, ‘the Lady,’ was venerated in the cave,” says Silvia Alfayé, a professor of Ancient History at the University of Zaragoza.

Alfayé also says that the inscriptions further indicate the active role women played in the deity’s worship during this period.

Anatomy of an Ancient Roman Subterranean Cult

Within the newly-identified ritual space at Cova Dones, several individual female names were identified among the newly discovered inscriptions. This, according to Alfayé and her colleagues, reinforces the notion that the sanctuary had been a regular destination for women, rather than merely serving as an occasional site of pilgrimage.

Specifically, the presence of the inscriptions all within a single chamber, which the research team has dubbed the “Roman Sanctuary,” places them alongside natural pools fed by underground water, which may have added to the allure of the subterranean ritual landscape the cave offered.

Strengthening that interpretation, the archaeologists also discovered spindle whorls, a variety of small tools used for spinning thread that were closely linked with women’s domestic and symbolic roles in the ancient Roman world, and beyond. Their presence near the inscriptions, the researchers believe, could imply links to ceremonies performed in the cave long ago, which may have incorporated textile-related offerings.

Ongoing Discoveries at Cova Dones

The recent findings at Cova Dones are only the latest offerings from the ancient site, which is already renowned for the ancient human presence it has preserved.

In 2023, The Debrief reported on discoveries within the cave that are now recognized as the largest known collection of surviving Paleolithic cave art in eastern Iberia. Such discoveries include more than 100 paintings and engravings dating back over 24,000 years.

The discovery of the Roman sanctuary occurred the following year, with the detection of Latin inscriptions and a coin featuring the Roman emperor Claudius, which archaeologists believe may have been left as a votive offering.

Then in 2025, archaeologists discovered more than 100 intentionally modified stalagmite formations, a unique category of archaeological evidence known as speleofacts. Altogether, such discoveries have helped cement Cova Dones as one of the most important sites in Europe to preserve evidence of prehistoric human modifications to an underground space.

Unraveling the Mysteries of a Subterranean World

Adding to the recent Roman inscription discoveries, Alfayé and her colleagues have also discovered artifacts that include bronze rings, a bracelet, ceramic vessels, faunal remains, and additional ritual objects—all of which provide additional clues that may help to reconstruct centuries of religious activity that once occurred deep within the cave.

Presently, many of the inscriptions await deciphering, and some large sections of the cave remain that have not yet been explored. With the promise of additional discoveries, archaeologists are confident that Cova Dones has only just begun to reveal its secrets.

In the coming years, new chapters in the story of this ancient subterranean landscape await discovery, exploration, and interpretation.

Hey this UFO was seen over the area I was born...Los Angeles and its not a city without its UFOs...Its a hot bed of activity there mixed in with all the military experiments happening at the labs there too. Aliens in LA is just a fact, they not only walk among the people but they also entertain them in Hollywood and even run for public office. So...is this triangle an alien craft or military TR3B or its evolved from the TR3B? Alien craft do have lights to confuse people into believing its a normal aircraft. This looks like the UFOs seen over the East coast last year...and I call it 100% alien.
