UFO Sightings in Central Valley: Unexplained Lights Spark Debate

The Central Valley has recently become the focal point of intrigue, as a series of UFO sightings have left residents and experts buzzing with curiosity. With unusual activity captured on video and reported by pilots, the mysterious events have reignited conversations about unexplained aerial phenomena.

Capturing the Unknown: Tower Camera Footage

In the early hours of Friday morning, the FOX26 Tower Cam in Fresno recorded a curious light hovering over the city. The footage, captured just after 4:00 a.m., shows an object appearing to move at remarkable speeds before briefly hovering. The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a prominent organization dedicated to investigating UFO sightings, reviewed the video. Earl Grey Anderson, a MUFON representative, described the object’s movement as “very interesting,” classifying it as a UFO due to the absence of other explanations.

Anderson ruled out space launches, unusual stars, or planets as potential explanations for the sighting. He emphasized the object’s rapid movement and abrupt halts, calling the capture a rare and noteworthy occurrence. “We don’t get a lot of cases like this. The sudden movement is what stands out,” he remarked.

A Pilot’s Perspective: Unusual Activity in Fresno Skies

The mystery deepened just four days later, when a private pilot flying over Fresno reported an unusual sighting to the air traffic control tower. Initially, the pilot inquired about potential drone activity, as he observed an object at an altitude of approximately 3,500 feet. However, the tower clarified that their radar would not detect small drones and directed the Fresno Police helicopter to investigate.

During the investigation, a second pilot reported spotting a similar white object over downtown Fresno at the same altitude. “I just saw something over downtown at 3,500 feet,” the pilot reported before losing sight of the object. These reports coincided with sightings of an unidentified drone-like object, described as flying at roughly 3,000 feet and moving unpredictably.

Official Silence Fuels Speculation

Despite multiple eyewitness accounts and video evidence, local authorities and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have not provided further clarification on the incidents. Efforts to obtain additional information about the pilot-reported sightings have yet to yield a response.

Community Reactions and Engagement

The unusual activity over Central Valley skies has sparked widespread interest. FOX26 has encouraged residents to share their own photos and videos of potential UFO sightings on their “Chime In” page. This call to action highlights the growing public fascination with unexplained aerial phenomena and invites the community to contribute to the ongoing investigation.

The Broader Context of UFO Sightings

While UFO reports are not uncommon, the combination of credible witnesses and video evidence in Fresno adds weight to the recent sightings. Experts like Anderson stress that unexplained phenomena should be taken seriously, as they often challenge our understanding of the skies.

The Question Remains: What Did We See?

The Central Valley’s skies remain a source of wonder and speculation. As the community continues to analyze the evidence, one thing is certain: the sightings have left a lasting impression. Are these merely drones, optical illusions, or something far more extraordinary? For now, the mystery endures, sparking curiosity and debate among residents and UFO enthusiasts alike.

If you’ve spotted unusual activity in the skies, consider documenting your experience. As these recent events show, every report could bring us one step closer to uncovering the truth behind the unidentified.

This New UFO Whistleblower Blowing The Lid Off Everything Says He Saw An “Egg-Shaped 

By Vicky Verma

In a new exclusive interview with investigative journalist Ross Coutlhart, Jake Barber, a US Air Force Veteran revealed that he saw an object that was white and egg-shaped. Mr. Barber said he has contracted as a helicopter pilot to retrieve all kinds of downed craft, some of which he believes are of nonhuman origin.

He shared the moment when he realized he was involved in recovering non-human technology, or alien technology. He explained that it became obvious when their communication procedures were changed, and when he saw the object on the ground. From its appearance, it was clear that the object was something extraordinary and different from anything human-made.

He was a helicopter pilot, and typically, he would work with a long line of about 150 to 200 feet. This time, he got within 150 feet of the object. When he got close enough, he saw something that looked like a white egg.

He was asked if there was any visible propulsion system on the object, but he said there was nothing like what we would recognize as an engine or any form of propulsion. He was operating at night, using night vision goggles. Even with the goggles, the object’s strange appearance remained clear. He would take the goggles off and on, examining the object from different angles to make sure he wasn’t imagining things.

When asked how he knew the egg-shaped object wasn’t from humans, Jake explained that, based on his experience and everything he had seen before, it looked completely out of the ordinary.

It didn’t match anything he had ever seen. His teammates also had the same reaction—they all knew they were dealing with something far beyond what they were used to.

Ross asked if he had ever been directly told that the craft was of non-human origin. Jake replied that in the years following the event, senior members of the UAP task force had confirmed that the object was, indeed, non-human in origin. He emphasized that this wasn’t a one-time, unique experience; similar things had been encountered before.

“Over the last couple years, it’s been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP task force that what we were working with that night was, in fact, NHI (nonhuman intelligence) and it was not a unique experience,” Barber said.

In the history of Ufology, the case of Lonnie Zamora was registered as the most authentic and well-documented UFO sighting in the United States. It is hard not to believe a police officer when he/she claims to have seen something not from this world. A police officer from Socorro named Lonnie Zamora witnessed a white Egg-shaped craft in New Mexico when he was chasing a high-speed vehicle in 1964.

On April 24, 1964, at around 5:45 p.m., Zamora was chasing an overspeed vehicle in his cruiser on the outskirts of his town. Suddenly, he was diverted by a loud roaring sound and noticed a flame in the sky.

Zamora said that the flame had been orange and bluish in color. He described it as “funnel-like.” He explained that he drove for half a mile and saw a white object on the ground.

“Thought that it might be a car that had turned over. Crossed to go out there to investigate, thought maybe somebody might be hurt. At that time, I saw this white, like an egg-shaped looking object.”

Initially, he thought that the object was an overturned car. He could also notice two humans near the object, examining it. As the police officer began approaching them, he understood that they were either large kids or small people. Besides, the object was of white aluminum color.

He contacted his station and told them about the situation. As soon as he tried to get out of the car, a roar was heard again and the craft started emitting blue flame. This noise scared him, and he thought there might be an explosion. So, he took cover and made his way back to his cruiser while keeping his eyes on the scene.

The craft was moving upward with an increasing sound, and Zamora could once again see an orange-bluish flame coming out from under the craft. He also said that the object had an oval shape without any door or windows.

During his radio interview with Walter Shrode, Zamora said that the two people he had seen near the craft were not humans. The following is the conversation held between Zamora and Shrode.

SHRODE: Did they have helmets on like spacemen or anything?

ZAMORA: No sir, I wouldn’t say they were people, I just… I saw something white, white coveralls, that’s all I can say.

SHRODE: But you couldn’t identify them as actually being an actual human being, like you or I are?

ZAMORA: No sir, I couldn’t.

ZAMORA: It was very low to the ground, at the time I was seeing it, it was very low to the ground up to the perlite mill there, and then it started gaining in altitude.

There is no doubt about what Zamora had seen. Even the FBI investigated the case and discovered burned marks on the site where he had seen the craft land. The Air Force also recorded his case in detail for the Project Blue Book and concluded that they were definitely humans in white suits. What’s more, when the craft disappeared, another police officer Sergeant Sam Chavez arrived at the scene. He found his colleague totally lost and pale.

According to the investigation conducted by NICAP officer Ray Stanford, there were more witnesses who heard the loud roar around the same time as claimed by Zamora. From the police records, he found out that three people had reported seeing a bright object in the sky.

On April 26, 1964, two days after Zamora’s case, a local farmer went to check on his horses as if something was bothering them. He said he had seen an object in the shape of a butane tank. He also noticed a bluish-orange flame, emitting from the bottom of the craft.

Additionally, in the Voronezh UFO landing case 1989, according to eyewitnesses, the object was oval, egg-shaped, approximately 15 meters long, and 6 meters high. The brightly-glowing ship stopped one meter above the ground, rocking back and forth. Four landing pillars emerged from the base of the object and sank to the ground.

After the landing, a hatch slowly opened, and two grim humanlike figures (one of them was 3-4 meters high) came out. The aliens were moving like robots. The shape of the aliens was described as boxes with arms and legs, and buttons were glowing on their chests.

At that very moment, a boy from the group of children playing nearby screamed in fear. The tall alien cast his gaze at him with his central eye, without moving his head. A light came out of his eye and hit the boy, which made him motionless for several minutes.

EXCLUSIVE - Americans reveal who they think is behind New Jersey's drone invasion in new poll

• READ MORE:  Tucker Carlson reveals shocking source of New Jersey drones 

By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Americans have revealed who they think is really behind the mysterious drone sightings that have plagued New Jersey since November. 

Exclusive polling from DailyMail.com and J.L. Partners found that nearly half (45 percent) of people believe the bizarre activity was more than just recreational or normal drone use, with the majority (26 percent) of those respondents pointing to foreign surveillance.

The foreign powers mentioned were China or Russia, which has been suspected among lawmakers like Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who said some of the unidentified aircraft are 'spy drones.'

But 19 percent of Americans do believe the sightings are nothing more than hobby drones and 18 percent stated they are 'normal flying actives that have been exaggerated.'

There are some Americans (17 percent) who believe the drones were government surveillance tools, but 10 percent said the craft was actually protecting citizens. 

And a small eight percent are sure the drones are alien vehicles. 

While Americans have shared their take on the drones, the US government has yet to provide hard answers to what's invading the skies over New Jersey.

The FBI admitted that it does not know who is behind the flying objects, while the US military insisted it is not responsible. All while, the White House said it was 'closely monitoring the situation.'

Numerous 'car-sized' drones first appeared over New Jersey in mid-November, and have since been reported by eyewitnesses all across the Northeast

Numerous 'car-sized' drones first appeared over New Jersey in mid-November, and have since been reported by eyewitnesses all across the Northeast, though the Garden State still appears to be the epicenter of the activity. 

The first sightings were over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and President-elect Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, which raised concerns the drones are part of spy campaign.

Indeed, the unidentified aircraft have been reported over multiple US military sites in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Texas, Virginia, Ohio, and even American bases in Germany and England.

But the White House said the sightings near or over Department of Defense (DoD) installations 'are not new.' 

'DoD takes unauthorized access over its airspace seriously and coordinates closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities, as appropriate,' the statement continued.

The Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Federal Aviation Administration and the FBI released a joint statement on the matter in mid-December.

The agencies said the sightings were 'a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones.'

But McCaul has been very open in pushing back against these claims. 

Carlson did not provide details about the Beijing-operated GaoJing 1-02 satellite which he claimed the US shot down on December 21. It reentered Earth's atmosphere above New Orleans and headed north towards Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri

He claimed the Asian nation has to be responsible after it was revealed that the communist state had been snapping up strategically placed farmland next to military installations across the US.

'I believe they're spy drones and the [People's Republic of China] and communist China is very good at this stuff. We know they bought land around military bases. This would be very consistent with their policy over the past couple of years,' he said.

'We're not getting answers and I think it's because our government does not know who is behind them and that is very disturbing to me.'

President-elect Donald Trump said last week that he would reveal the truth about the drones over New Jersey.

Trump makes bold prediction about drones and vows to release report

'I'm going to give you a report on drones about one day into the administration because I think it's ridiculous that they're not telling you about what's going on with the drones,' Trump replied.

He went on to predict that it 'could be [the U.S.]' that's sending the drones, which he 'hopes is the cause' and 'not an enemy.'

This week, Tucker Carlson also claimed 'an intel person' told him that the drones 'were in fact Chinese,' explaining the US government took down a Chinese satellite 'that was a command and control satellite for these drones.'

Carlson appeared to hint at a Beijing-operated satellite known as GaoJing 1-02 which fell from space on December 21.

Others have pointed fingers at different foreign powers such as Iran and Russia.

But despite the wave of concern, the Pentagon has denied that a foreign country was behind the mysterious drones, even as they have been repeatedly spotted over sensitive US military sites.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby said in December there are more than one million drones registered in the US and 'there are thousands of commercial hobbyists and law enforcement drones that are lawfully in the sky on any given day,' suggesting the sightings were likely any of these.

NASA astronaut spots 'two metallic spherical orbs' flying by his airplane over Texas

• READ MORE: Nebraska police chief issues warning after UFOs terrorize his town

By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

A former NASA astronaut has come forward to reveal that he personally witnessed 'two metallic spherical orbs' whizz by his plane this August while flying above Texas.

Leroy Chiao, who served as the commander of Expedition 10 to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2004 and 2005, was 9,000 feet in the air when objects 'zipped' on the left side of his airplane.

He said one flew on top of the other and each was about three feet in diameter. 

'It's just kinda dumb luck that they didn't hit me,' said Chiao.

The former NASA astronaut estimates that the orbs were only 'about 20 feet away.' 

'It could've been a bad result, if they had actually hit me,' Chiao said. 'It happened so quick, there wasn't even a chance to get scared.'

The NASA veteran, now an engineering consultant and entrepreneur, told NewsNation that the strange metallic orbs appeared to evade detection. 

'It wasn't on radar,' he noted, 'Air traffic control certainly didn't alert me. 

'[And] it wasn't on my display that shows other airplanes that are participating with the [Federal Aviation Administration] FAA-required transponders.' 

'I don't know what it was,' the baffled former astronaut confessed.

A former NASA astronaut has come forward to reveal that he personally witnessed 'two metallic spherical orbs' whizz by his plane while flying above Texas. Above, an example of a 'metallic sphere' weather balloon included in a 2023 report by NASA's UFO advisory panel

'It's just kinda dumb luck that they didn't hit me,' said Leroy Chiao (pictured), whose NASA missions saw him serve as the commander for Expedition 10 to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2004 and 2005. Chaio believes these strange metallic orbs were a top secret drone test

Chiao unpacked the details of his odd late-summer UFO encounter to The Hill on NewsNation, stating that he 'got a good look at them' but 'only for a second.'

'I was flying back from Colorado and I had just refueled in the panhandle of Texas in my small airplane,' Chiao recalled. 

'I was flying back to Houston on an instrument flight plan,' he said, referencing a more formal set of flight rules that are coordinated with FAA air traffic control along known and pre-established flight corridors.

But with the benefit of hindsight, the former astronaut believes that these orb UFOs are still not only 'mysterious' — but that the government's lack of transparency on these and other mystery drones over sensitive US sites has 'scary' implications.

'They could tell us what they know,' Chiao opined, 'and if they really don't know, that's a little more disconcerting.'

Citizens, police and politicians have all put forward theories on who or what is behind this recent wave of drone reports — from mass hysteria to foreign spies to space aliens — Chiao said that he leans toward it being a test of top secret US tech.

'My first guess is that it's some kind of military program, a drone of some kind,' he told NewsNation, 'but you know it's hard to say, right?'

'Frankly, I think whoever was operating the drone wasn't aware that I was there.' 

Above: a leaked US military image of what appears to be a metallic-looking orb flying over Mosul, Iraq in April 2016, included in a classified briefing video on UFOs shown to multiple US government agencies - according to the UFO reporter who obtained the image, Jeremy Corbell 

While playing a 2022 military UFO video taken by an MQ-9 Reaper drone in the Mid East, Pentagon UFO-hunter Dr Sean Kirkpatrick told a NASA panel that: 'We see these ['metallic orbs'] all over the world, and we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers'

Chao, who saw dealt with an interesting, but ultimately terrestrial 'UFO' case when he lived on board the ISS, said that he is personally concerned about some of the possible worst-case scenarios for America's late 2024 mystery drone wave.

'It is pretty mysterious,' he weighed in. 'It's hard to believe that our government doesn't really know what's going on.'

'At first blush, to me, it seems like some kind of a military program, our military,' he continued, 'and if it's not that, then it gets a little more scary.'

Chiao said that the past month of drone sightings over New Jersey and nearby states, as well as those over US military bases at home and abroad, seem 'way too widespread and organized to be some kind of a prank.'

He added that he feels the Pentagon and the rest of the federal government 'could be a little more transparent.' 

The FBI and other agencies are investigating the alleged drones, but a representative from the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday, Dec. 11: 'We have no more information as to where these drones are coming from, where they're launching from, where they're landing'

In New Jersey, Belleville Mayor Michael Melham has also become a vocal critic of the federal government's lack of candor on the drone mystery, calling their response 'disappointing, to say the least.'

'Over 500 mayors were invited to an unprecedented 'mayors-only' briefing on such an important topic,' Mayor Melham told local network WABC last week.

'Many northern NJ mayors traveled nearly three hours round trip, on short notice, to be there,' he explained, 'only to learn what could have easily been said over a Zoom call. Many walked out.'

Journalist and author Michael Shellenberger, who testified to Congress last month on his reports of a hidden UFO data collection program, obtained a recording of the meeting, in which one NJ mayor complained of SUV-sized drones.

'The mayors are livid,' Shellenberger told Fox News. 'One of them got up there and said, 'I had two automobile-sized drones hovering over my house.'' 

Metallic orb UFOs have been the most common type of case reported by US military witnesses according to the first director of the Pentagon's UFO-hunting All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), ex-CIA physicist Dr Sean Kirkpatrick. 

'We see these ['metallic orbs'] all over the world,' Dr Kirkpatrick told NASA's UFO advisory group last year, 'and we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers.'

After mysterious bright lights, according to AARO's most recent annual report, orb or spherical UFOs were still the most commonly reported this year at 22 percent of all US military sightings.

• READ MORE:  NASA astronaut spots 'two metallic spherical orbs'

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

An Air Force veteran has made shocking claims about UFOs and alien retrieval programs long-rumored to be operated by the US government.

Jake Barber said he was working for the government to assist downed craft when one night, the 'communication process and procedure was modified' and he witnessed something that he believes was of extraterrestrial origin. 

He was told to fly a helicopter to a specific area when came 150 feet from an 'egg-shaped' object with no engine or thermal signals.

'I saw an egg, a white egg,' the pilot explained. 'It's inconsistent with anything I'd ever seen before,' Barber told NewsNation.

His next order was to retrieve it from the ground, which he said was when he knew for sure the craft was not of this world. 

'I can also tell you that the reaction by my team, we all knew we were dealing with something extraordinary,' the pilot said.

'Over the last couple of years, it's been confirmed to me by ranking members of the UAP task force that what we were working with that night was, in fact, NHI [non-human intelligence] and it was not a unique experience,' he said.

UAP stands for 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' and is a term used by the Department of Defense to describe mysterious objects in the sky. 

Three high-level military veterans are said to corroborate Barber's story, according to NewsNation.

Jake Barber, now a chief helicopter pilot in California, said he has witnessed alien craft while working for a secret UFO retrieval program

He spoke with NewsNation special network correspondent Ross Coulthart in his first whistleblower interview. 

When asked exactly how he knew the 'egg' was of alien origin, Barber said: 'Just visually looking at the object on the ground, you could tell that it was extraordinary and anomalous. It was it was not human.

Barber's LinkedIn profile states he is a 'disabled veteran,' but the account does not list his years in the Air Force. 

The page shows that he is from California where he works as a chief pilot at San Joaquin Helicopters & Coastal Helicopters.

The full interview with Barber, titled 'Hunting UFOs: The Crash Retrieval Whistleblower,' is set to air on Saturday, January 18th at 8pm ET.

Barber's description matched another witness report from 1957 when two Civil Aeronautics Administration controllers in the tower at New Mexico's Kirtland Air Force Base saw 'an egg-shaped object.' 

M. Kaser and E. G. Brink claimed they witnessed a white light traveling eastwards across the runway, left, then crossed other runways and areas of the airfield.

They claimed the mysterious object did not have wings, a tail or a fuselage, and was elongated vertically. 

Many military personnel claimed to have witnessed UFOs. This image, obtained April 28, 2020, was taken by Navy pilots in 2017.  Navy Cmdr David Fravor, who saw it, testified under oath in a hearing where he discussed the experience

And it appeared to be 12 to 20 feet tall, according to a report in UFO Evidence. 

The men reported the object was about the size of an automobile standing on its nose, and had a single white light at its base.

'When the object was about 3000 feet ENE of the tower, it stopped completely and hovered for about a minute,' reads the case report.

'Then it began moving again, slowly at first, but then suddenly climbing at an extremely rapid rate of speed until it disappeared into the overcast sky. 

'The object was in clear view at all time, with no intervening obstructions, according to the two men.' 

They requested the radar control team track the object as it moved east, with radar showing it turning south at very high speeds 'until it reached the vicinity of the Albuquerque Low-Frequency Range Station, where it circled for several minutes.'

The object was then said to circle back to the Air Force base and follow behind a plane that had just taken off if to avoid detection.

The UFO fighter jet - I 2000

{ https://www.bing.com/?FORM=Z9FD1 }

14-01-2025 om 23:49 geschreven door peter  

The crew of a Surjet private air service flight had an unusual encounter on December 23 while returning to Fort Lauderdale. Flight attendant Cassandra Martin, along with two pilots, was onboard the aircraft flying over the Bahamas when an unexpected event caught their attention.

“I suddenly heard air traffic control say, ‘We have a foreign object; can you please identify it?'” Martin recounted to NBC Miami. 

Curious, she looked out the window. “I glanced to the left, and the pilot noticed three objects, though I only saw one. I quickly grabbed my phone, pressed it against the window, and tried to record a video of the object,” she explained. 

Martin described the orb as white, later shifting to a faint green hue, almost as though surrounded by an electric field. The object followed their flight for about 45 minutes before disappearing. 

What made the sighting extraordinary was the altitude. The jet was cruising at approximately 43,000 to 45,000 feet, yet the orb was far above the aircraft and still managed to track it for the extended duration. 

The orb’s speed and maneuverability ruled out possibilities such as a balloon or a consumer drone. Unless the orb is of extraterrestrial origin, the orb might be a craft or drone equipped with highly advanced technology not yet publicly known, akin to recent reports of sophisticated drones spotted across the U.S. 

This remarkable incident follows a December 16, 2024 sighting aboard United Airlines flight UA2359 from Chicago to Newark. During that flight, a passenger filmed several unidentified orbs at altitudes between 40,000 and 50,000 feet. Additionally, reports surfaced from at least four commercial airline pilots who witnessed mysterious, colorful, circular lights moving at extreme speeds over Oregon in the same month. 

These repeated sightings raise questions: Are they advanced black projects hidden from public knowledge or evidence of something extraterrestrial? Regardless of their origin, the increasing reports of advanced drones and strange orbs suggest that something significant is occurring.

NASCAR legend recalls near-death experience after a UFO came within inches of crashing into his plane

• READ MORE: Top NFL Draft prospect Kyren Lacy wanted for negligent homicide

By ERIC BLUM

NASCAR legend Mark Martin recently recalled the time he claims to have seen a UFO while flying home from a race.

Martin was flying his plane home to Florida from an East Coast race in the late 1990s when the incident occurred.

Martin was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2017 and is often described as the best race car driver to never win a championship. And now, maybe the best racecar driver to have a UFO sighting.

'We were coming home, just me and my pilot in my jet. We were coming back from one of the northeast races... We fly at 45,000 feet, but going over Jacksonville going home to Daytona where I lived, you know, they would bring you down to 18,000 feet or so,' Martin told Garage Guy Chase. 

'We were descending. For some reason, a lot of times after the race I would get in the back and let my - was a single pilot aircraft so I’d let my pilot fly me home and I’d sit back there and rehash the race or something or just relax. But this particular time, and I did it from time to time, I wanted to fly... and there’s no stars out.'

'So, it’s black. Everything except the lights in Daytona, Orlando, and you know, Miami. You can see the lights down at Miami even. And I see a light that is solid white light, looks solid light that’s not flashing, and that could only be like a landing light is the only thing that would make sense would be a spotlight looking light like that, and it would have to be far away because I couldn’t see the green and red-wing tip lights. Because they got a green one and a red one and the red one is on the right. That way you know if a plane’s coming toward you or going away... Didn’t see any of that.'

NASCAR legend Mark Martin recalled the time he claims to have seen a UFO in the late 1990s

Martin is often described as the best racecar driver to never win a season championship

'So, I keep it in my eye, I keep checking up there and checking up there and it gets closer and closer, I didn’t say anything to (pilot) Jason (Simpson) I’m just flying along. Finally, I just start, I fixate on it. Plane’s on autopilot… and so I’m fixated on it and it gets closer and closer and closer and then it gets like, "Oh my God, we’re going to hit that!"'

'And I grabbed the yolk and kicked it off autopilot and was getting ready to jerk the plane to the right and Jason was like, "What?" And I said, "Look!" And when he looked, he pulled out a camera, he had a camera on him, and he pulled out a camera and put it up there in the windshield and tried to take a picture because he saw it! We both saw this and almost, we thought we were going to hit it. Then it starts pulling away, gradually pulling away, slowly pulling away.'

Martin also said when air traffic control was contacted about the sighting, they told Martin he was flying the only aircraft in that general airspace. 

Martin surely would not have made up his adventure to talk about it so publicly. His story is not the first to have seen a UFO over the years.

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

By Gemma Ferguson

By Janelle Miles

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

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

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

"It was absolutely beautiful," she said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

What do they mean?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What's the weather outlook?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By LAUREN ACTON-TAYLOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nick lifted the lid on some extraterrestrial mysteries

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Calvine UFO Incident updated version with Nick Pope

The Calvine Incident

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cosford Mystery

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

UK trailing in UFO 'race'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Changing attitudes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Scott C. Waring 

Eyewitness states:

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

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

By FRANKIE ELLIOTT FOR MAILONLINE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elizondo said during an interview with Calling All Beings.

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

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

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

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

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

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

By BRETT LACKEY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Danish Police Investigate Mysterious UAP Sighting

“Drone@ Sighting Over Koege Port Amid Global UAP Surge

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

The Incident: Drones Over Koege

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

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

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

Global Context: A Surge in UAP Sightings

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

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

Theories and Investigations

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

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

Local Impact: New Jersey’s UAP Hotspot

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

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

Government Response: Calls for Transparency

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

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

Conclusion: A Mystery Unfolding

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

As investigations continue, the world waits for answers.
