1st UFO over Salt Lake, Utah Sept 29, 2025, UFO UAP sighting news. 👽 alien craft close to airport!
Date of sighting: Sept 29, 2025
Location of sighting:viewed from Bountiful, Utah, USA
Source: I recorded it, SCW
Yeah I did it. I admit it. I have practices summoning for several years now and I seem to be getting more powerful lately. This time I managed to get the first of two UFOs in five minutes time after summoning them using just pure focused thought out over the airport. And then this appeared. So you be the judge, but only those who have tried summoning should judge me.
New footage of a mysterious object flying over Texas in broad daylight has been revealed by UFO hunters.
The sighting took place on September 8 in Trenton just after 8pm ET, when a pair of witnesses spotted the pyramid-shaped object moving eastward for at least two minutes.
The Texas resident, who was on their property at the time of the sighting, was able to zoom in and take clear video of the alleged craft as it emerged from a nearby tree line about 100 feet in the air.
The witness, who sent their footage to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), added that the dark-colored triangle seemed to be bronze and was either illuminated or had a pulsating light around its edge.
Although the person recording the UFO noted that the object changed shape, it was seen holding a straight edge and triangular or pyramid design throughout the more than 60 seconds the eyewitness was able to follow it with their camera.
NUFORC, a volunteer-operated nonprofit group that's been collecting UFO reports since 1974, noted that it's possible the object with simply a balloon, and US military officials have maintained that there is no definitive proof of extraterrestrial contact.
This incident was one of 10 in Texas alone that were reported to NUFORC in the last three weeks.
Moreover, it's the latest encounter with an alleged craft that was described as being a 'black triangle' seen flying over the US this year.
A resident in Trenton, Texas recorded a strange object which made no sound as it flew overhead on September 8
This particular triangle was reported flying around 20 to 30 mph as it moved higher into the sky and far off into the distance that night.
The witness added that the unidentified object did not make any sound at all as it flew through the air.
The object was estimated to be between six and seven feet long, making it relatively large if it was an ordinary balloon.
Meanwhile, silent black triangles have been reported flying over the US 20 times this year alone.
These sightings have ranged from triangles flying slowly over nearby witnesses to larger craft taking off at high speed at great altitudes.
In May, another Texas resident claimed they saw a large black triangle which was 'the size of a football field with pale green lights.'
Just a day before the incident in Trenton, someone spotted a similar UFO in Hudson Falls, New York around 30,000 feet overhead.
'There was no sound. It was a large black craft with white lights around the edges,' the witness reported to NUFORC.
The strange triangle-shaped object was suspected of being a balloon, but no official explanation has been found
Triangle or pyramid-shaped UFOs have become one of the most common sightings by self-proclaimed UFO witnesses.
Matthew Brown, a former US national security official who became a government whistleblower, revealed in April that he had seen classified reports that allegedly documented military contact with this type of craft.
Brown claimed that a covert naval operation in the Pacific witnessed a large black triangle-shaped UFO 'decloak' out of thin air over several Russian vessels.
Texas has been one of the biggest hotspots when it comes to UFO sightings, now referred to as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
Among the thousands of sightings reported to NUFORC over the years, over 6,500 have taken place in Texas.
That's just behind Florida and Washington state in terms of the sheer number of sightings that have come from residents in these areas.
However, no state has logged as many UAP sightings as California, which has sent nearly 17,000 alleged sightings to NUFORC.
An invasion of small metallic orbs has been spotted hovering over the US in recent years, leaving the Pentagon scrambling to identify these mysterious UFOs.
A new report from the crowdsourced platform Enigma, which allows people to report sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), reveals more than 8,000 sightings across the US between December 2022 and June 2025.
Among these, 422 reports specifically describe metallic orbs, with the majority observed between 1am and 4am near military installations in New York, California, and Arizona.
Eyewitnesses, including civilians, pilots, and military personnel, reported seeing the spheres hover silently before moving at extreme speeds, leaving no trace of their departure.
Some of the sightings have been captured on video or radar, though many remain unexplained.
'I was walking into work when I looked up and saw two metallic liquid-like objects hovering for about two minutes,' said one witness over Brooklyn's Fort Hamilton in June 2024.
Another in California described seeing a metallic orb above Los Angeles shortly after a squadron of planes flew by.
Military drone footage from the Middle east in 2022 revealed a metal sphere flying through the sky in broad daylight (circled in purple)
The crowdsourced platform Enigma reported that over 8,000 orbs have been seen over the US since December 2022
However, some cases have remained unsolved, reportedly due to a lack of data. Of the 757 UFO cases between May 2023 and June 2024 released in AARO's annual report, 21 cases were classified as unresolved sightings.
Although the Pentagon and civilian groups like the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) have also been cataloging these incidents, many have continued to baffle military officials, who have no way of explaining what was seen.
While the new report focused on the thousands of sightings in the US over the last three years, strange orbs have been documented all over the world, from Puerto Rico to the Middle East.
Moreover, these tiny craft have apparently been visiting our skies for decades, with pilots during World War II reporting similar orbs over the skies of Europe.
Enigma revealed that more than 360 'metallic orb' reports took place within a few miles of military bases here on US soil.
In three of those cases, witnesses revealed that the orbs got within five miles of Fort Hamilton in New York, Papago Military Reserve in Arizona, and Los Angeles Air Force Base on multiple occasions.
These mystery orb sightings include one shocking encounter revealed by Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, the former director of AARO, which was captured on a MQ-9 Reaper drone's camera in the Middle East in 2022.
Enigma revealed that witnesses spotted strange orbs flying above Fort Hamilton military base in New York multiple times
Even more close calls were documented around Los Angeles Air Force Base in California between 2022 and 2025
Kirkpatrick warned that if these videos didn't prove that aliens exist, then they're evidence that a rival foreign power could be 'doing stuff in our backyard.'
Some theories have suggested these orbs could be surveillance devices from foreign powers like China or Russia.
Government officials believed they might be advanced drones, due to their tremendous agility and ability to avoid radar, according to a 2022 report in the New York Times.
As for Enigma's report, many of the orb sightings have been concentrated in Texas and Florida.
In fact, visitors at Disney World's Epcot in Florida got an unexpected sight this month, when a glowing orb appeared over the amusement park.
After searching online and finding no information about drones or satellites in the area, Morgan Huelsman, digital director of The Bobby Bones Show, described the object as a 'UFO,' adding, 'definitely a UFO with aliens.'
The Enigma platform has also received sightings from all over the US, over critical infrastructure such as power plants, and over naval vessels at sea.
The Buga Sphere recovered in Colombia (pictured) remains one of the only pieces of physical evidence tied to metallic orb sightings worldwide
The 'Buga Sphere' has become a major topic of discussion among UFO researchers, with scientists claiming the object contains a maze of fiber-optic wires that suggest it can send and receive signals.
After striking a power line and crashing to the ground, the object also appeared to have somehow dehydrated the field it landed in, killing all the grass and soil where it touched down.
Scientists suggested this was proof that the object produced some kind of energy field, but researchers had not attempted to forcibly cut the object open so far. The sphere has since been taken to Mexico for further analysis.
However, UFO researcher Dr Julia Mossbridge from the University of San Diego is among the many who doubt the authenticity of the Buga Sphere, calling it a 'man-made art project.'
Several remarkable new photos reveal a flurry of so-called 'unidentified flying objects' in Headingley in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Local resident and photographer Jesse Gallagher snapped the strange collection of unearthly bodies over several months using his iPhone.
The snaps, shared exclusively with the Daily Mail, were all taken after dark around midnight, making their ghostly light easier for the camera to detect.
And they certainly form an eerie motely crew of strange shapes and sizes, several deviating a lot from traditional depictions of a UFO.
'When zooming in, the orbs are either white or multi-coloured and can be seen pulsating,' Mr Gallagher told the Daily Mail.
'One recording has the moon as a backdrop which provides some interesting perspective.
'I have seen other videos of similar objects around the world.'
They make up an eerie motely crew of strange shapes and sizes, deviating a lot from traditional depictions of a UFO. Pictured, the spoon-shaped entity
Another entity in a deeper shade of blue seems to form a very rough sphere or orb and be emitting a faint ring of light
Mr Gallagher said his footage was captured around midnight in Headingley between August 2021 and November 2023.
Bizarrely, one of the UFOs with a ghostly slivery-blue tint resembles a spoon or a spade – with a narrow stream of light connecting a fainter circle.
Another entity in an even deeper shade of blue seems to form a very rough sphere or orb and be emitting a faint beams of light.
Meanwhile, the third snap shows a bright white ball of brilliant light, almost perfectly circular, with the moon as a tiny blob in the background.
But perhaps most intriguing photo shows a textured grey object with an unusual level of detail – a possible cone or horn, with what seems to be a hole in the middle.
Clues from its appearance suggest it could be a discarded piece of machinery or a fragment of disused spacecraft.
But, in such an instance, rules of physics surely dictate that it would hit the ground.
Philip Mantle, a British UFO researcher, said the images show some kind of 'distant light source that is out of focus'.
The third snap shows a bright white ball of brilliant light, almost perfectly circular, with the moon a tiny blob in the background
A piece of spacecraft? Perhaps most intriguing of the four pictures is this one, showing a textured grey object with an unusual level of detail
'The out of focus image makes the light look very different from what the naked eye would see,' he told the Daily Mail.
'They could well be simple lens flares as seen in the photo of the moon.'
But Mr Mantle stopped short of calling them 'UFOs' – a term that may or may not describe an object thought to have an extraterrestrial origin.
John Tunnah took about 10 or 12 photographs from his vantage point near the hills, but the object only appeared in one of them.
The object is remarkably similar to the classic UFO saucer shape depicted in popular culture, with a distinctive round and elongated shape.
Nick Pope, a UFO expert formerly with the UK's Ministry of Defence, offered a number of explanations for Mr Tunnah's photo.
'When photos show an anomaly that wasn't seen at the time, I suspect either a glitch with the camera, or a fast-moving object like a bird or an insect, close to the lens,' Mr Pope told the Daily Mail.
This bizarre saucer-shaped object was snapped with a Pentax Optio SVi camera by Yorkshire photographer John Tunnah
The man's attention was drawn by a perfectly formed arch of cloud over the trees (centre) - and only later did he notice the saucer-shaped object on the left
UFOs became a major subject of interest after World War II and were thought by some researchers to be intelligent extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
In the US, the government's Department of Defense, commonly known as the Pentagon, now refrains from using the term UFO at all.
This is largely because it is commonly associated with wind up conspiracy theories and paranoia.
Instead, the Pentagon uses UAP – 'unidentified aerial phenomenon' – although in most places this has low usage and is yet to enter common parlance.
V-shaped UFO filmed hovering over Los Angeles as expert reveals incredible details of sighting
Clear and startling images of what appears to be a UFO were captured over Los Angeles, sparking fresh debate about what's flying over America's biggest cities.
The sighting went on for roughly 25 minutes, with the UFO flying south until the witnesses eventually lost sight of it around 11:38pm local time (2:38am ET).
The pair was able to capture both pictures and clear videos with a cellphone camera, zooming in to see nine white lights along the UFO's hull.
UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee told the Daily Mail he believes the craft was not an alien spaceship, instead offering some alternate theories.
When I was growing up, I watched a lot of sci-fi movies about aliens that come to Earth. The extraterrestrials in popular culture, however, always looked so familiar that I found them far-fetched. What are the chances that E.T., the Predator, or ALF would develop arms and legs, a humanlike face, and opposable thumbs? Perhaps as a result, I associated alien life more with fantasy than with science, and I never gave much thought to what a visit would really look like. But my attitude started to change in 2020, when I read Liu Cixin’s “The Three-Body Problem” and its two sequels. In Liu’s books, creatures called Trisolarans send a scouting mission of supercomputers to spy on and subtly disrupt human affairs. Although Trisolarans could do seemingly impossible things, such as program protons, Liu’s rigor got me thinking about aliens from a scientific perspective. Suddenly, I could imagine a sophisticated civilization coming into contact with humanity, perhaps in ways that we don’t immediately understand.
Then, in 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report on unidentified anomalous phenomena (U.A.P.)—essentially a rebranding of U.F.O.s. Several Navy videos had been made public a few years prior. In the so-called GOFAST video, recorded off the coast of Florida in 2015, a Navy pilot with an infrared camera follows an object zooming above the water and asks, over the radio, “What the fuck is that?” Another clip, deemed GIMBAL—“Look at that thing, dude”—showed a similar shape above some clouds. A third video, known as FLIR, was taken in 2004 from an aircraft in California. Navy pilots in two planes saw what looked like a large Tic Tac hovering over the water; it seemed to zip away at thousands of miles per hour. Military whistle-blowers subsequently claimed that the government knew more than it was admitting, leading to congressional hearings in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Last month, House Representative Eric Burlison, a Republican, introduced the U.A.P. Disclosure Act of 2025, aimed at preserving and eventually releasing U.F.O. reports.
None of the government’s disclosures demonstrated that Earth had welcomed interstellar house guests. And yet, after the releases and hearings, it seemed more acceptable to explore the possibility. In 2022, roughly fifteen hundred university faculty members replied to a survey about U.F.O.s; a majority said that recent governmental and journalistic reports had increased the topic’s credibility, and three-quarters said that it was of average importance, very important, or essential for academics to conduct more research about it. Tyler Cowen wrote about U.F.O.s forBloombergand Ross Douthat wrote about them for theNew YorkTimes; they compared notes on Cowen’s podcast. On the prediction platform Polymarket,the oddsthat the U.S. will “confirm that aliens exist in 2025” have ranged between four and fourteen per cent. (The detection of aliens on a faraway planet would count.)
I started to ask myself, How likely is it that we’ve ever been visited by aliens or their technology? It seemed improbable yet plausible. I wondered how scientists, engineers, and other thinkers would approach the question. What would count as evidence, and what kinds of educated guesses could we make? I decided to call Adam Frank, an astrophysicist at the University of Rochester and the author of “The Little Book of Aliens,” which looks to differentiate between science and fiction.
Frank doesn’t put much stock in U.F.O. videos, and he told a story to explain why. In February, 2023, photographs of a Chinese spy balloon over Billings, Montana, prompted speculation about aliens. The Air Force eventually shot it down, but first the pilot of an American U-2 spy plane flew past and took a selfie that showed the balloon out the window. “You can see it in exquisite detail,” Frank told me. “Where are all those pictures? Every U.F.O. picture is a fuzzy blob. Everybody carries a high-resolution camera in their pocket now, and it’s always fuzzy blobs.”
There are potential answers to Frank’s question, but most of them raise questions of their own. Maybe there’s a coverup. But, if so, wouldn’t whistle-blowers have turned up something by now? “Color me extremely skeptical that any government could keep a secret like this effectively for a week, let alone decades,” Austin Carson, a political scientist at the University of Chicago who has written extensively about government secrecy, told me. Steven Aftergood, who directed the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists, pointed me to a 1970 report produced by a government task force on secrecy: “It is unlikely that classified information will remain secure for periods as long as five years, and it is more reasonable to assume that it will become known to others in periods as short as one year.”
Maybe the aliens are coy and want to stay hidden. If that’s the case, though, why are we seeing them at all? Mark Rodeghier, the scientific director of the Center for U.F.O. Studies, which is headquartered in his basement, told me, “They’re actually trying to slowly acclimatize us to the idea that aliens, in fact, exist.” Robert Hampson, a neuroscientist at Wake Forest University who has written over a dozen science-fiction novels, speculated that, perhaps, “what we’re detecting are the alien equivalent of graduate students who have been given an assignment to go and watch the humans and report back.” Plenty of human graduate students have been tasked with researching other worlds—and they don’t always get the best equipment.
The elaborateness of these explanations, in Frank’s view, is a reason to be skeptical of them. “If you’ve got to go through all those contortions to make your story work, you’re not doing science anymore,” he said. He noted that, when humans send spacecraft into the solar system, they tend to land safely. Alien craft, in contrast, “would have managed to cross interstellar distances, and these things seem to crash every fifteen minutes. It’s like everybody’s sending us their 1987 Dodge Omnis.” The 2021 national-intelligence report on U.A.P.s said that it could not explain a hundred and forty-three U.F.O. reports, but that many were probably “airborne clutter,” weather, or terrestrial technology. “Sometimes they’re hard to explain because we just don’t have the data,” Frank said. In his opinion, high-quality data (high-resolution photography, for example) has never “showed us that anything required an extraterrestrial hypothesis.”
Our galaxy contains at least a hundred billion planets, and biology finds a way in extreme environments on Earth, so it’s not unreasonable to suppose that life thrives elsewhere in the Milky Way. But if aliens wanted to visit us they would have a long way to go. The closest star to the sun, Proxima Centauri, is roughly 4.2 light-years away. NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe would take more than seventy-five thousand years to get there, if it were headed in the right direction. The closest inhabited solar system could be much, much farther away. Could aliens, or at least their tech, survive that journey?
Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist, thinks they may have already. In 2014, military satellites observed a half-metre-long meteor in the sky near Papua New Guinea. Several years later, Loeb and a student, Amir Siraj, concluded that the meteor had been travelling too fast to be orbiting the sun, and that, therefore, it was interstellar. Loeb went on to argue, over the objections of many experts, that it may have been alien technology, and that debris he recovered on a Pacific expedition was from the meteor. “Think of it as Amazon delivery service, but from interstellar space,” he told me during the expedition, from a ship that was incidentally called the Silver Star. He and numerous collaborators wrote up their findings in Chemical Geology last year. (Cosmochemists questioned the claim that the debris was interstellar; one told Science, “I’m surprised anyone would take it seriously.”) Loeb currently leads the Galileo Project, which is erecting ground-based sensors to look for anomalous phenomena.
U.F.O.s could contain biological aliens or machines powered by artificial intelligence. Either way, they might travel much faster than Voyager 1—but that would require a lot of energy. Les Johnson, a retired chief technology officer at NASA who has written fiction and nonfiction books about interstellar travel, gave me an example. To accelerate a pineapple to just a tenth the speed of light, he said, would require the energy of seven Hiroshima explosions. You would need the same quantity of energy to decelerate at your destination. “Suddenly, you’ve got the energy of fourteen Hiroshima bombs on a pineapple,” he said. “So I look at that, and I think it just doesn’t pass the giggle test.” At that speed, a speck of space dust would also have the impact of T.N.T. “I’d love to think we’re in a ‘Star Trek’ universe,” Johnson said. “But I don’t know if we are.”
Logically speaking, the chance that aliens are here right now must be slimmer than the chance that they have been here at some point in the past. Garry Nolan, a biotech founder and an immunologist at Stanford, has a hunch that we’ve been visited by aliens—he had an eerie experience as a child—and speculates that they or their technology may have been on Earth for millions of years. “So the open question might be, Is this even our planet?” he asked me. As outlandish as his theory is, it’s tricky to firmly disprove. If they came long ago, and left or died, would we even know? In 2018, Frank and a co-author published a paper in the International Journal of Astrobiology titled “The Silurian Hypothesis.” (In “Doctor Who,” Silurians are advanced reptilian humanoids who predated us on Earth.)
“Would it be possible to detect an industrial civilization in the geological record?” Frank and his colleagues ask. Organisms can turn into fossils that last tens of millions of years, but most organisms don’t become fossils; metals and plastics might not stick around at all. And the planet’s surface constantly erodes and churns. “Our claim was that, after about a couple million years, anything on the surface is gone,” Frank said. “Even if some aliens came and built a pretty intense civilization, you wouldn’t have any evidence of it.” The best evidence one might hope for, he argued, was indirect: for example, an unusual proportion of certain isotopes at particular depths of rock. (In a 2019 paper, a physicist suggested that we should look for old probes, or “Lurkers,” on space rocks near Earth.) So far, humans haven’t found anything like that.
Science fiction often explains interstellar travel by imagining some kind of warp drive. Einstein said that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but, in 1994, the Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre found an exception: Einstein’s theory of general relativity actually allows for a craft to outpace light by squeezing space-time at its bow and stretching it at the stern. Nolan, who is a fan of this idea, likened the Alcubierre drive to “creating your own sub-universe, a warp bubble around yourself.” Of course, it is not at all clear that such a thing could be constructed. Alcubierre invoked what physicists call negative energy; later theorists thought that lots and lots of regular energy could be used instead. Nolan speculated that, maybe, sufficient energy could be harvested from space-time itself, using the zero-point field and quantum tunnelling. But he quickly admitted that “those are just fancy words that we throw at the unknown.” (On the plus side, a warp drive might quote-unquote explain the Navy’s U.F.O. videos; one paper estimated that the objects in the videos appeared to be pulling up to five thousand Gs, using no visible propulsion and leaving no wake. Stunt pilots max out at around ten Gs.) Other U.F.O. enthusiasts argue that aliens could reside in dimensions beyond the four that we know and love. Or maybe they’re time travellers.
I ran these notions by Arlan Andrews, a retired mechanical engineer and author who is the founder and director of SIGMA, a think tank of sci-fi writers that advises the government and N.G.O.s. He responded by throwing up his hands in exasperation. “If you start to do the woo-woo stuff with interdimensional and time travel, I can’t say they’re wrong, but there’s no place to start,” he told me. “As an engineer, I like to have a starting place.”
Acivilization that’s millions or billions of years ahead of us would probably know physics that we don’t yet comprehend. Its technology might seem like magic to us. In that case, practically anything is possible. A NASA report on U.F.O.s, released in 2023, acknowledges that “it is difficult to put physical constraints on them at present.” How would you turn something without constraints from woo-woo into science?
The Society for U.A.P. Studies (SUAPS) is a think tank attempting to define U.A.P. studies as a field. “Not only is there not a science but there’s no academic field,” Michael Cifone, a philosopher of science at St. John’s University and one of the group’s founders, said. “How do we study this phenomenon? Who’s involved? What are the methodological principles that should guide us?” He cares less about people’s out-there theories than about what steps should be taken to resolve U.F.O. cases. He wants to avoid “endless, unconstrained, undisciplined speculation.” In his view, we’re at “a crucial transition point between the older ‘ufology,’ ” akin to forensic investigation, and modern scientific methods.
The first step to making something a science usually involves data. NASA’s report focusses on the agency’s potential role in collecting data, and in using A.I. to analyze it. According to the report, the agency’s sensors could be supplemented with crowdsourced data from apps; one example is Enigma, which uses algorithms to rate the credibility of people’s sightings and triangulate objects using video recordings. UAPx, a Florida nonprofit, has developed a suite of sensors specifically for analyzing odd aerial phenomena. And then there’s the data contained in past reported sightings, which could be regularized and collated somehow. Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot who testified about U.F.O.s in Congress, founded Americans for Safe Aerospace, which encourages pilots to report U.F.O.s. The group vets the cases and has brought them to Congress; the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which is part of the Department of Defense; and, lately, to an F.B.I. working group. But, as some argue, the plural of anecdote is not data. “I don’t trust pilots’ sightings,” Matt Mountain, the president of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, told me. “They’re on a mission, not doing scientific exploration.” We should keep in mind, Mountain told me, that most criminal convictions that are overturned by DNA evidence were based in part on eyewitness testimony.
Graves said that he was agnostic about aliens. “I’m not jumping to conclusions,” he told me. “But I want to figure it out, damn it.” Still, he seemed skeptical of expert analysis. In November, 2024, AARO announced that it considered the GOFAST video mystery resolved; the object’s altitude, it said, gave it an exaggerated appearance of speed. “Through a very careful geospatial intelligence analysis and using trigonometry, we assess with high confidence that the object is not actually close to the water, but is rather closer to 13,000 feet,” the agency’s director told CBS. Graves wasn’t satisfied with that explanation. “Some of these cases aren’t quote-unquote debunked or no longer of interest,” he has said.
When I spoke to people who supported an alien hypothesis, I was often struck that relatively patchy evidence—what Frank had described as fuzzy blobs—had inspired such in-depth theories. I’m as puzzled by the U.F.O. videos as the next guy, but, as far as I can tell, nothing in them requires us to accept the existence of warp drives or time travel. Until someone produces high-definition videos of flying saucers and little green men, the evidence might not be extraordinary enough to demand such extraordinary explanations. And to the extent that U.F.O.s do need explanations it’s worth asking whether aliens are the best one. People have seen weird stuff in the sky for thousands of years, and only in the last eighty have flying saucers been a popular interpretation. Before that, we tended to credit the supernatural.
After all my conversations, I thought the odds that aliens or their tech had visited Earth were probably south of five per cent. Most U.F.O.s. are likely balloons, airplanes, weather events, visual illusions, or technical glitches. Even so, there are enough unknowns, and unknown unknowns, that the margin of error seemed enormous. A person who thinks the odds are much higher, I’d argue, shouldn’t be met with ridicule.
One more question: Why would aliens even visit us? Coming up with an answer forces us to speculate about alien motives. “I’ve always said that aliens are going to alien,” Andrews, the sci-fi writer who founded SIGMA, told me. “We have no idea what an alien person or being or intelligence or machine would be motivated by. . . . We don’t know what motivates the Kremlin, for God’s sake.” Extraterrestrials, he suggested, could be as different from us as we are from centipedes. (That could be an understatement.) Robert Powell, a chemist who serves on the board of the Scientific Coalition for U.A.P. Studies, has argued that some U.F.O.s are intelligently controlled and do not come from Earth. But, in his view, we shouldn’t try to study extraterrestrials as if they’re lab rats. “We’re the rat, and we’re trying to figure out what the doctor is doing,” he said.
It’s reasonable to think that there would be commonalities among intelligent species. One is the drive for self-preservation, which motivates the Trisolarans in “The Three-Body Problem.” Hampson, the neuroscientist and sci-fi writer, didn’t think that was a very good reason to come to Earth. “If they’re after resources, there are easier ways to get them,” he said. “Why would you go to an already inhabited world?” Meanwhile, a warlike species would probably just wipe us out. “If the idea is conquest, then I think we would already know,” he said. But he could imagine another reason: curiosity.
Nick Pope, who ran the U.F.O. program at the U.K.’s Ministry of Defense from 1991 to 1994, told me that the ministry had considered three main motives for alien visits: military reconnaissance, scientific study, and tourism. It’s not a given that aliens would enjoy travel. Maybe we’ve never met them because they’re homebodies. Still, what kind of intelligent life form wouldn’t want to see a sunrise on another world? “This might be the only place in the universe to see an elephant,” Pope said. “How many planets have a Stonehenge or a Machu Picchu or a Great Pyramids?” Aliens might want to survey the galaxy for all life forms—including us. They might even be having the same debate we are. Are we alone in the universe? The truth—whatever it may be—is still out there.
"VS verbergt informatie over buitenaards leven": ex-officieren getuigen voor Amerikaans Congres in "UFO-hoorzitting"

"VS verbergt informatie over buitenaards leven": ex-officieren getuigen voor Amerikaans Congres in "UFO-hoorzitting"
In de VS heeft een luchtmachtveteraan tijdens een hoorzitting in het parlement herhaald dat de Amerikaanse overheid al decennialang een onderzoeksprogramma naar UFO's verbergt voor de bevolking. Volgens de voormalige majoor David Grusch is het Pentagon in het bezit van bewijsmateriaal van buitenaards leven. Het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie heeft die beweringen met klem ontkend.
In 2022 bevestigde het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie dat er een onderzoek loopt naar een 400-tal geheimzinnige waarnemingen in het luchtruim van de voorbije twee decennia. Dat onderzoek wordt gevoerd door de speciale afdeling die onderzoek doet naar UAP's (ongeïdentificeerde verschijnselen in de lucht of unidentified aerial phenomena).
Vanmiddag hebben drie klokkenluiders die voor de Amerikaanse Defensie hebben gewerkt, getuigd in een hoorzitting in het Amerikaanse parlement over "ongeïdentificeerde abnormale verschijnselen in de lucht".
Hun getuigenissen roepen meer vragen dan antwoorden op. Ze beweerden over veel meer informatie te beschikken, maar wilden of konden die niet delen op de hoorzitting.
De voormalige inlichtingenofficier David Grusch verklaarde dat Defensie in het bezit is van bewijsmateriaal van buitenaards leven en UFO's, maar concrete informatie gaf hij niet. Grusch had het over "niet-menselijk biologisch materiaal". De overheid zou die informatie volgens Grusch bewust verbergen voor de bevolking.
Grusch kon niet antwoorden op vragen in de hoorzitting omdat hij gehouden is aan een geheimhoudingsplicht (non-disclosure agreement of NDA). Hij gaf mee dat hij wel meer antwoorden kan geven in een gesloten commissie.
De drie getuigen, Ryan Graves, David Grusch en David Fravor leggen de eed af voor de hoorzitting
Onderzoek naar onverklaarbare waarnemingen
Het Pentagon heeft altijd ontkend dat er geheime onderzoeksprogramma's lopen naar UFO's en buitenaards leven. Er wordt wel onderzoek verricht naar onverklaarbare waarnemingen.
Volgens Defensie is het in het belang van de strijdkrachten om de oorsprong van de fenomenen te achterhalen, omdat ze mogelijk gevaar kunnen opleveren voor piloten. Het valt evenmin uit te sluiten dat het om tot dusver onbekende systemen of tuigen gaat van vijandelijke mogendheden.
Adjunct-directeur Inlichtingen van de Marine Scott Bray meldde eerder dat zijn diensten "niet over materiaal beschikten of stralingen hadden opgepikt die zouden suggereren dat het om iets van buitenaardse oorsprong zou gaan". Geen bewijs van buitenaards leven dus, maar Defensie
Het Rosswell incident
Radars van het Amerikaanse leger kunnen niet altijd bepalen wat er in de lucht wordt waargenomen. Dat bleek begin dit jaar nog toen ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten werden neergeschoten door het leger, na het incident met de Chinese spionageballon.
Amerika is ook altijd in de ban geweest van het Roswellincident, de vermeende crash van een UFO in het plaatsje Roswell in New Mexico. Het was in de zomer van 1947 groot nieuws in de VS en is nog altijd het bekendste UFO-incident. Sindsdien doen er om de zoveel tijd allerhande beweringen over bewijs van buitenaardse wezens de ronde, maar nooit is dat bewezen.
The U.S. Government’s Top UFO Scientist Has an Open Mind about Alien Visitation
The U.S. Government’s Top UFO Scientist Has an Open Mind about Alien Visitation
Have you seen something inexplicable in the sky? Jon Kosloski, director of the U.S. Department of Defense’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, wants to hear from you
Video footage of an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP) event, captured by an infrared sensor onboard a U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircraft over the Rafael Hernandez Airport near Aguadilla, Puerto Rico on April 26, 2013. In the full footage, the UAP seems to move at high speed, split into two objects, and fly into and out of the ocean. A subsequent assessment by the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DOD) All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) found that the event can be explained as a trick of perspective, in which two slow-moving objects traveling linearly near to each other only appear to be a single object splitting in two, and do not enter the sea at any point. The appearance of U.S. DOD visual information does not imply or constitute DOD endorsement.
U.S. Department of Defense
Whether captured in declassified military footage or insmartphone videos uploaded to social media, UFOs are swarming Earth’s skies and demonstrating capabilities so astonishing that they must represent technologies that are advanced beyond any available on Earth. Clearly, these sightings point to the involvement of space aliens—or perhaps just a global cabal of nefarious humans with ultraspiffy, above-top-secret flying machines that routinely break the known laws of physics.
At least, that’s what modern-day folklore would have you believe, no matter how many times skeptics convincingly debunk sensational UFO sightings as mere misidentifications of conventional aircraft, sensor artifacts or natural phenomena.
Regardless of what one personally believes about all this, what’s certain is that claims of mysterious trespassers in American airspace are taken very seriously by the U.S. government for reasons of national security. That’s why, at Congress’s behest, the U.S. Department of Defense established its All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in July 2022. This office investigates reports of UFOs under the more generic rebranding of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
AARO’s work, however, isn’t really about chasing down extraterrestrial invaders so much as it involves standardizing reporting methods, curating and analyzing datasets and assessing possible threats posed by UAPs. Think less Men in Black and more “Pentagon desk jockeys with advanced degrees and highly classified résumés.”
The office’s current director Jon Kosloski, who took over in August 2024, after the departure of his predecessorSean Kirkpatrickin December 2023, is a good example of the archetype. His professional past is punctuated by National Security Agency research in networking and computing, optical light communications and cryptography, as well as his invention of an advanced language-agnostic search engine for the DOD.
Dr. Jon Kosloski serves as the director of the U.S. Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
U.S. Department of Defense
Kosloski spoke with Scientific American about his vision and agenda for AARO—and, of course, his thoughts on the “extraterrestrial hypothesis” for unexplained UAPs.
[An edited transcript of the interview follows.]
What milestones and directions do you and AARO foresee as you assess the UAP situation?
We have quite a lot going on in the office. We’re working diligently to make our AARO website available to the public so they can report an incident. We want to have a semiautomated processing chain to quickly bring those cases in and then look for correlations with other cases from government sources.
We’re also working on machine-learning and artificial intelligence tools so that we can look for correlations at a larger scale. AARO is also looking at better utilization of the whole fabric of U.S. government sensors that are available. That will help our case resolutions, but it also poses the potential challenge of looking at an awful lot of data.
A last big push is for increased transparency—to find more efficient ways to share information with the public and the scientific community to help us in some of our investigations. Standardizing the UAP data is an initiative—to make it better suited for data science. As we do that, we’d like having both the raw data as well as postprocessing data available to as wide of an audience as possible. But we need to respect the sensitivities of the sources and methods used to gather those data.
Last November you testified before the Senate Committee on Armed Services’ Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities. One point you raised was the importance of removing the stigma of reporting a UAP event. How much of a problem is that?
It seems to have diminished quite a bit, thankfully, through a variety of public endeavors. I think it does persist, for example, with local law enforcement and some military members, however. They have experienced some pushback themselves from discussing events that they’ve been a part of but have come forward and shared that information with AARO. So maybe the stigma is reduced but not completely gone. Good progress is being made, but probably there’s a little ways to go.
AARO has reportedly deployed the Gremlin System—a multisensor networked system for detecting, tracking and characterizing UAPs—in an undisclosed location. What is the status of this project?
Gremlin is envisioned to be a test bed for sensor evaluations and sensor fusion. We expect it to be a “living” system, always evolving. We will be swapping in and out new sensors and algorithms for various approaches. We want to document what we learn and share that with the public and other organizations inside the government. The hope is they can take what we have learned and replicate that.
Gremlin itself is going quite well and is very robust. It has been running out in the wild for several months now, gathering data using radar, electro-optical and infrared cameras and some electromagnetic sensors. Gremlin is pulling all that in and detecting events in real time. We haven’t found anything particularly interesting yet.... But there are a few interesting sightings that are worth investigation.
What does “a few interesting sightings” mean, exactly?
Interesting from our perspective. It is not obvious what the object is. It is unidentified. It has some anomalous characteristics. And in these cases, the object appears to be [moving] rather quickly. But it doesn’t appear to [be using] standard aircraft beacons. There could be multiple explanations for that, so we’re not jumping to any conclusions. But they are worthy of further investigation.
UFO groups continually demand “full disclosure,” by which they mean more than transparent data sharing—namely, the full disclosure of putative secret evidence that Earth has been visited by some form of alien intelligence. For AARO, if you come up with a head-scratcher of an unknown phenomenon, how would you disclose that fact?
There are two things we have to consider. One is the owner of the data. We would need to work with the data owner to make sure that we are not revealing sensitive information about sources and methods.
But putting that aside, there is nothing inherently classified about an anomalous event or phenomenon. So we would work with our leadership to document that well, study it and then produce a product that can be shared widely with the community. There is no inherent reason why we would sit on these anomalies, if we did come across something truly perplexing.
Given that many full-disclosure advocates would insist that the absence of evidence for alien visitation just further confirmed a government cover-up, it seems like any push you could make for transparency as leader of AARO would, in some respects, be doomed to failure. So why take on the assignment in the first place?
I love difficult scientific challenges. In general, I enjoy the chase of trying to understand the mystery and solving puzzles. UAPs, by their very nature, are rare events. [That means] data acquisition is difficult, and there’s a sensor design challenge. I think getting the data we need has been somewhat neglected.
There are groups, such as Avi Loeb’s Galileo Project, that are working on better data acquisition—which is fantastic. But we in the U.S. government could do better. As a mathematician and data scientist, I enjoy poring through the data, looking for the subtle correlations and teasing out the threads to identify hypotheses and get the scientific method started.
Doing that with a well-qualified group—with experts from inside AARO, as well as from across the U.S. government, and hopefully partnering with academia, too—was just too good of an opportunity to pass up.
How does AARO engage academia?
Right now we are primarily focused on a few key partnerships with University Affiliated Research Centers [UARCs]. [Editor’s Note: UARCs are DOD-supported research organizations that are affiliated with a university and offer specialized expertise.] For example, AARO worked with the Georgia Tech Research Institute [a nonprofit applied research organization at the Georgia Institute of Technology] to develop the Gremlin System. As a UARC, the Georgia Tech Research Institute partnered with AARO. Because of the nature of the contractual relationships, we can share the data that we have. In broader engagements with academia, there is the key step of downgrading classification to ensure we can release the information. We are working on that. Also, an important partnership is with the National Laboratories—Oak Ridge National Laboratory, for instance, has assisted AARO with some of its material analysis. But right now the focus has been on those few key UARCs.
Is it really accurate to say you’re being “transparent” while also dealing with sensitive, classified data?
It’s a challenge. AARO should be as transparent as possible, and we are working in that direction. At the same time, we need to respect the sensitivities of the sources and methods used to gather the information that is relevant to UAPs. Ultimately, we are also working with our partners to release as much information as possible about the full context in which that data was gathered.
It is a time-consuming process. But there are reasons why the U.S. government needs to protect those sources and methods so that we don’t put them at risk.
Recent reports of mysterious drones over New Jersey and elsewhere sparked a lot of public interest and discussion—and I’m sure you and your AARO colleagues were paying close attention, too. What’s your take on that situation?
Misidentification does account for a number of UAP sightings. AARO has been working on educational materials about common misunderstandings, such as Starlink flaring, as we call it, or [confusing visual] phenomena such as parallax. We’re sharing that with the public so that they understand what they are looking at.
Specifically, with the New Jersey incidents, none of those were reported to AARO as being anomalous. Certainly, many of them were unidentified, whether they were drones or airplanes or other objects. They weren’t behaving in a way that was identified by the people at the time as being anomalous, so we didn’t take the lead on any of those investigations. But we were in contact with a number of federal organizations, offering our support.
Do you have any advice for true believers who are convinced that aliens are visiting Earth’s skies?
I don’t have advice per se. I don’t want to be the thought police. I think everyone is welcome to approach this topic however they like. As I came into this subject, however, I tried to approach it without bias in either direction. I’m open to any possibility. Sometimes an unusual event is just a sensor artifact, sometimes just a balloon.
We do have some events in our holdings that are really peculiar, and I don’t know yet what’s behind those. But because we don’t know what’s behind them, we also can’t attribute them to anything in particular. And that includes extraterrestrial sources.
Any closing thoughts on your primary objectives for AARO? And how do you feel about the big, daunting question “Are we alone?”
I’m impatient and, being a data scientist, I am also a data hog. I want more data, and I want it quicker so that we can get to the heart of these problems. It boils down to asking ourselves, “What type of data is it going to take to prove to the scientific community, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this anomalous phenomenon was not a sensor artifact and is, indeed, something truly peculiar?”
And I feel that’s going to require multiple sensors gathering the same event from different perspectives at the same time.
My goal is for AARO to be able to enhance our national security by increasing domain awareness, ensuring that we understand everything that is operating in space, in the air and maritime environments, as well as those trans-medium objects [UAPs that seemingly slip between, say, the sky and the sea].
I think it’s plausible that there’s life out there. I haven’t yet seen the substantial evidence I need to convince me that extraterrestrial life has found its way to Earth as yet, but I am open to anything.
Viktor Hovland´s great pursuits: A perfect golf swing and the truth about UFOs
Viktor Hovland´s great pursuits: A perfect golf swing and the truth about UFOs
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) - Viktor Hovland´s golf swing clicked at the right time. His search for the truth about UFOs? That's still a work in progress.
Practicing on the driving range two days before the Ryder Cup begins Friday, the 28-year-old Norwegian said he suddenly felt freed up. When he reviewed his swing on video, "it looked definitely better than other swings that I´ve made lately."
"Obviously this is a golf course that you have to drive it really well, and I've been kind of struggling with the driver," Hovland said Thursday at Bethpage Black. "It´s been a long time since I´ve been able to stand on the range and just kind of beat balls fluidly, effortlessly without trying to feel like I´m steering it."
That bodes well for Europe, which enters tournament play on Friday as underdogs on the U.S. team´s turf in front of what´s sure to be a raucous New York crowd. President Donald Trump will be there for part of it, adding to the frenzy.
About the UFOs: it's a subject Hovland says he´s gotten deeper into in the last couple of years, piquing the curiosity of teammates and fans alike. The seven-time PGA Tour winner said it´s one way he takes his mind off golf.
And, he insists, the truth is out there.

"The more you go into it, you just get more questions," Hovland said. "It´s one of those things that you don´t really find any more answers, but it´s very interesting to go in there and kind of challenge some of your beliefs that you currently hold."
"You kind of have to expand your mind a little bit," he said.
Hovland, one of golf's most popular and affable stars, was eager to get back to practicing after rain soaked the course on Thursday morning. He said he wanted to make sure his newfound swing feel didn't disappear overnight.
"I think we´ve all been there," Hovland said. "We find a feel and think we´re back, and the next day it all falls apart."
Acknowledging "some major struggles" with his game in recent seasons, Hovland desperately wants to return to the form he had in 2023, when he won three times on the PGA Tour and claimed the season-ending FedEx Cup.
He dropped from No. 4 in the world rankings the week of the last Ryder Cup, a win for Europe in Rome in 2023, to No. 12 currently. But, he said, "I feel like despite that, I can still overcome that and play some really good golf."
Hovland is frequently blunt and introspective, and his session with reporters Thursday volleyed from questions about his swing to his fascination with the prospect of otherworldly beings, spurred by a comment his friend and teammate Ludvig Åberg made to reporters on Wednesday.
"Ludvig said that you like to talk about UFOs. What´s up with that?" a reporter asked.
"What´s up with that?" Hovland responded, smiling and prompting laughs. "Yeah, that´s the question, isn´t it? What is up with that?"
Åberg, for his part, said that while he indulges Hovland's UFO talk, "I´m not quite down that road just yet. If I hang out with him long enough, I might be."
"He´s a funny guy to have funny conversations with," Åberg said. "They can go in any direction that you don´t really expect."
In some ways, pursuing a perfect golf swing and eternal questions about flying saucers and extraterrestrial life are a lot alike, both requiring curiosity and patience.
In golf, he said, "you just look at your golf swing and you´re trying to practice hard and you don´t really get the results that you want, it can be quite frustrating."
As a Ryder Cup rookie in 2021, Hovland went 0-3-2 en route to a 19-9 European loss at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. In 2023, he went 3-1-1 as Europe prevailed 16.5 to 11.5.
"I felt like I was maybe more timid as a rookie playing on foreign soil," Hovland said of his first Ryder Cup. "I think I played just a bit more insecure maybe but after 2023, my best season of my career, I felt just more excitement."
This time there's the added factor of a New York crowd - famously loud and ruthless toward opposing players, whether from the Boston Red Sox or Team Europe. Hovland, quirky as ever, said he has an antidote for that.
"If you play well, you know, there´s going to be some comments here and there," he said. "They won´t really come close to the thoughts that I have in my own head. So I think I´ll just laugh it off for the most part."

Black Pyramid UFO Over Trenton, Texas Sept 9, 2025 Video, UAP Paranormal Sighting News.
Date of sighting: September 9, 2025
Location of sighting: Trenton, Texas, USA
This report just in at NUFORC. A black pyramid shaped UFO was seen moving across the sky in Texas this week. The UFO was silent and flying low at 30 meters from the ground. The object really appears to be rotation very slowly scaling the area around it...turning to get a better view of its surrounds. Texes is a UFO hotspot in the US and this sighting is defiantly a top ten in videos from the states. I wonder if it was heading to the Bush Ranch which is George W. Bush's House in Texas. In 2008, the "Stephenville UFO incident" involved dozens of people seeing a large, fast-moving object, which radar data suggested was heading south-southeast, or toward President George W. Bush's Crawford ranch. Was Bush an alien himself...getting visits from family and friends from distant worlds?

Eyewitness states:
Lights on object It came over trees at approximately 100 feet. It looked like the entire edge of it was illuminated or like a pulsating light. It was still daylight so it was hard to tell. It was moving relatively slow at approximately 20-30 miles per hour. There was absolutely no sound coming from the object. It looked like it changed shapes.
For all Viktor Hovland's recent difficulties in predicting the outcomes to his shots, his partner on the course, Ludvig Aberg, has faced an identical battle in trying to second-guess the direction of their conversations. From aliens to philosophy, that can be a diverse road.
It remains to be seen if Luke Donald will follow conventional wisdom by pairing them here at Bethpage Black, reprising the relationship that pulled off a 9&7 foursomes mauling of Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka in Rome two years ago.
To that end, there has been a mild surprise in the fact they have not yet been grouped together in two practise sessions across Tuesday and Wednesday. Keeping them apart so far might be interpreted as an early sleight of hand by Donald, or even a breather for Aberg, who has supplied an insight into those wild chats with his Norwegian friend, one of the most eccentric characters in golf.
'We get along,' said Aberg on Wednesday. 'He's a funny guy to have funny conversations with. They can go in any direction that you don't really expect.
'He's always into sort of the UFO deals and all those things, so it's quite interesting. I'm not quite down that road just yet. If I hang out with him long enough, I might be. Again, you never really know where it's going to go, which is quite interesting.'
Hovland, whose most recent readings have included the works of Plato, spoke earlier this month about the challenges in his game. A fifth-placed finish at Wentworth on his last outing suggests the world No 12 is in good shape, but he admitted there that his 'soul' was aching over the frequency with which he was struggling to control his shots.
Luke Donald is mulling over whether to use Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg (pictured) as a pairing in the Ryder Cup
Aberg revealed his 2023 partner (pictured) has a love for UFOs and carries out some interesting conversations
Aberg added: 'We had a good time in Rome, and we've played multiple practice rounds since, and our caddies get along great, too. He's a good friend to have on Tour and in the team room here.'
The Swede was a breakthrough star in Rome, scoring two points from four just months after turning professional.
He said: 'I think the biggest thing that I take away from those couple days, and maybe especially that morning (against Scheffler and Koepka), was just the validation for myself, that I'm able to do that. Because obviously before I played in Rome, I hadn't even met those guys. I had never shaken their hands. I had never had a conversation with them.
'For me to get there and to bring out a result like that was a big deal for me personally, to know that I'm able to beat those guys at times. I had a really good partner that day, which always helps. But it was a cool experience and probably something that I won't forget.'

Hey this is fantastic! What looks like a sphere is actually light around a square craft. What a catch! I only see UFO reports from Lebanon once every few years and this one is so close, but he said he saw others too. This purplish pink sphere was seen just last week but we just got the report today. UFOs love something most the public don't know...a focused human mind...a disciplined mind that can focus and send thoughts outward...like a laser beam to find its destination. We all can do it, but few in this lifetime will ever learn due to fear of ridicule. I do it and it works, this person believes it was his prayers calling to them...and I believe him. Prayers, meditation and summoning are so similar that they all can summon UFOs. I have practiced summoning for years and yes it works and sometimes it doesn't due to my mind thinking about other problems in back of my mind...daily life stuff. The UFO wants to be seen, to be understood and to say "we too have peace and love in our hearts and minds."

Nightly observations from July 2024 to present (ongoing). The intensity has increased significantly. Groups of 5–7 orbs appear together, moving in different directions, brightening, fading, and reappearing. On some nights, the sky feels like a crescendo of light phenomena, with activity happening every few seconds. Since the beginning of my observations, I have gathered at least ten different witnesses who have seen these orbs with me on multiple occasions. Most of them are religious and skeptics, yet they are now openly questioning what is happening after seeing the phenomena firsthand.

Hey check this out. A persons grandmother was watching outside her home in Rhode Island an took this close up photo of not one, but two UFOs heading into the ocean to enter an underwater alien base off New York. Look at the tail of the UFOs...it goes back, but then turns...a 45 degree turn! Meteors, Venus and other excuses can make such maneuvers. But UFOs can. Also each is flying side by side...that means this is two alien military craft or one ET military and one craft escorting some alien of high importance to Earth. Like a fighter jet escorting Air Force One to its location. This is big! Just look at the ships, they are using a shield to protect themselves...causing a fake meteor burning around the outer parts, but we can see its clearly two long oval craft in its centers. This is 100% proof that aliens live off Rhode Island below the ocean floor.

Now this is just mind blowing stuff. This strange aircraft or spaceship is parked along the Caspian Sea and it's like nothing I have ever seen. It's some kind of strange, futuristic spaceship from another planet. It's just crazy! I have to admit, this is a great place for a Russian secret military base to test alien technology, but then I wonder...could this actually belong to aliens who were given an area to live underground in a base and this craft...is their ship? It really makes me wonder.

Hey all, I recorded this myself over my city from my back yard. I meditate and they come daily. So I post them on my account and share they with others. Why would aliens make clouds around their UFOs? They just don't want to terrify the humans below. Sure you are fine with seeing a real UFO, but you don't speak for everyone on Earth. Most people would be blown away and frightened to a level of that of seeing a ghost. Sure people play it cool and say nah...it wouldn't frighten me...but then the day comes and it does. So they hide. Maybe not from me, but from the people in the area where I live.

Shape: Teardrop Color: White-blue-cyan Estimated Size: 30-45ft in diameter Viewed From: Land Direction from Viewer: We were facing south and the object first appeared SSE and continued towards NE. Angle of Elevation: 40 Closest Distance: 800Yds Estimated Speed: 80-100mph Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Electrical or magnetic effects
Eyewitness states:
Strange silent high altitude craft My wife and I were watching the clouds and sitting outside talking and eating watermelon and we are used to seeing airplanes and helicopters coming from the nearby airport or coastal airliners. This one was completely silent, no blinking lighs, no wings and moved slowly. I'd say the speed was approximately 80-120mph then dissapeared. It moved straight across at first then veered at a 75° angle westward. It was maneuvering in a sinewave pattern. I will have to review the video footage to see if it was going behind the clouds or was turning the craft lights off and on.
This was not ball lightning, a drone, a satellite, plane, helo, or anything else that is natural or (as far as we know) man-made. The shape of the craft at first I thought was an orb but it seems to be a conical structure. It looked very similar to a very bright craft we saw driving some trails this past Sunday during daylight hours between 18:30 and 19:00. I started feeling the hair on my arms stand up like an electrostatic effect and my wife felt like she had to pretend not to see it. ( strange ) I recorded a video on my phone as soon as I could. This is the third sighting I have noticed since living here in Helper, UT.
Overview and Analysis of the September 2025 UAP Hearing, Hellfire Missile Footage, and Dylan Borland’s Testimony
Overview and Analysis of the September 2025 UAP Hearing, Hellfire Missile Footage, and Dylan Borland’s Testimony
The UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) hearing held on September 9, 2025, marked a significant moment in U.S. government transparency regarding unidentified aerial objects and related military encounters. Central to the proceedings was the presentation of compelling footage involving a U.S. Reaper drone firing a Hellfire missile at an unidentified glowing “orb” off the coast of Yemen. The missile, however, appeared to pass through or glance off the object without causing damage. This incident sparked widespread debate among enthusiasts, skeptics, and experts about the nature of the observed phenomena and the implications of the footage.
The Hellfire Missile Footage: What Was Shown?
During the hearing, video footage was displayed showing a military drone targeting an unidentified luminous object. The missile involved was a Hellfire, specifically the RX9 model, which is a kinetic, non-explosive missile designed primarily for precision strikes. The footage captured the missile approaching the object, but instead of destroying or damaging it, the missile seemed to pass through or deflect from the target.
Supporters of the extraterrestrial or extraordinary hypothesis interpret this footage as suggestive of an object that can evade conventional weaponry, possibly indicating advanced or non-human technology. Conversely, skeptics and mainstream analysts have dismissed the footage as a result of optical illusions, “balloon and parallax” effects, or simple misinterpretations of visual data. Outlets such as The War Zone and TMZ have argued that the object’s behavior aligns with known phenomena like balloons or visual parallax, and that the apparent speed or movement could be explained by optical illusions or camera angles.
The Concept of Parallax and Its Role in UFO Sightings
The reference to “parallax” is not new in UFO and UAP analysis. Parallax involves apparent shifts in an object’s position due to the observer’s movement, which can mislead viewers about an object’s size, distance, or speed. In May 2024, a paper released by AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) addressed how forced perspective and parallax effects are common in UFO sightings and can even deceive airborne sensors. This approach echoes earlier comments by astronaut Scott Kelly during NASA’s UAP panel in May 2023, where he dismissed many pilot and astronaut sightings as illusions, emphasizing sensor unreliability.
Critics argue that such explanations serve as a “scientifically sounding” toolkit to dismiss difficult or inexplicable cases. They warn that framing phenomena as optical illusions or parallax effects risks dismissing potentially genuine anomalies, especially when the subject involves high-stakes military technology or encounters.
Significance of the Military Engagement Footage
What makes the Hellfire missile footage particularly noteworthy is that it depicts a direct military engagement with a suspected UAP. In typical military operations, supporting data—such as radar tracks, sensor logs, and after-action reports—are usually available to corroborate visual evidence. However, in this case, only the video has been publicly shared, with official data still withheld. This lack of transparency fuels skepticism from both believers and skeptics alike. If the government possesses classified data that explain the incident, its absence fuels questions about the true nature of the event.
Theories range from explanations involving advanced adversary technology (e.g., drone or missile jamming) to more extraordinary hypotheses involving non-human entities or unknown physics. The absence of supporting evidence beyond the footage leaves open many questions about the object’s nature, capabilities, and origin.
Analysis of the Video and Its Context
Patrick of the VETTED podcast expressed concerns over how the footage was presented and contextualized. His main critique was that the terminology used—calling the object an “orb”—and the lack of official explanation could mislead viewers into assuming an extraterrestrial origin. He pointed out that the missile used was a kinetic RX9 Hellfire without an explosive warhead, which is designed for precision strikes, not for causing spectacular explosions or damage visible on video.
Furthermore, Patrick suggested that the footage might have served a strategic purpose—to demonstrate air-to-air capabilities to adversaries—rather than providing conclusive evidence of a phenomenon beyond current understanding. This underscores the importance of how military footage is framed and the potential for it to be used for strategic messaging rather than scientific investigation.
Dylan Borland’s Role and Testimony
Among the witnesses at the hearing, Dylan Borland stood out due to his extensive background and expertise. With years of service as a USAF Geospatial Intelligence Analyst and later roles in aerospace and intelligence, Borland’s insights carry significant weight. His testimony was characterized by technical depth, integrity, and courage.
1. Background and Credentials:
- Served as a 1N1 Geospatial Intelligence Specialist in the U.S. Air Force from 2010 to 2013.

-Specialized in analyzing video, radar, and electro-optical imagery related to aerial, naval, and ground objects.
Borland’s unique combination of military intelligence training and analytical skills placed him in a position to understand complex phenomena and data. Unlike other witnesses—such as former security officers or Navy personnel—Borland’s technical expertise provided him with a deeper understanding of the possible explanations and limitations of the available data.
2. Whistleblower Testimony:
Borland also delivered a detailed whistleblower statement under oath. He described credible field experiences involving a triangular-shaped UAP near Langley AFB and insights into legacy UAP programs. He claimed that his exposure to sensitive information led to retaliation and career obstructions, highlighting the potential risks faced by insiders who challenge official narratives.
His willingness to testify publicly and under oath added credibility and weight to his account, emphasizing the seriousness with which he viewed the subject. Borland’s testimony pointed to the possibility that government and military agencies possess more information than is publicly disclosed and that there may be ongoing efforts to understand or conceal certain phenomena.
Implications and Future Considerations
The hearing and the associated footage underscore several key issues:
Transparency vs. Secrecy:The absence of supporting data beyond video footage fuels ongoing debates about government transparency regarding UAP encounters. While the footage provides visual evidence, it lacks detailed contextual information such as sensor data, radar logs, or corroborative intelligence reports. This ambiguity raises questions about the motives behind withholding comprehensive information. Advocates for transparency argue that open access to data would foster public trust and enable independent analysis, potentially accelerating scientific understanding. Conversely, officials often cite national security concerns, fearing that releasing certain details could compromise classified methods or reveal vulnerabilities. Moving forward, establishing protocols for declassifying and sharing relevant data—while safeguarding sensitive information—will be crucial. This could involve creating secure, accessible repositories for researchers and the public, fostering a more informed and engaged dialogue about UAP phenomena and their implications for national security and scientific inquiry.
Nature of the Phenomena:The debate continues over whether these objects are advanced human-made technologies, natural phenomena, or something else entirely. The diversity of observed behaviors—such as rapid accelerations, sudden directional changes, and hovering without visible means of propulsion—complicates definitive identification. Some experts suggest these could be experimental military craft, possibly developed covertly by rival nations, designed to test new propulsion or stealth technologies. Others propose that the phenomena are natural atmospheric or optical effects, like ball lightning or mirages, though these explanations often fall short given the consistency and intelligence-like maneuvering of some sightings. An alternative hypothesis considers the possibility of extraterrestrial origin, which, while speculative, remains a subject of serious scientific inquiry. Future research should focus on collecting multi-sensor data, employing advanced detection systems, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to better understand these phenomena's true nature.
Strategic and Military Significance:The possibility that these encounters involve foreign adversaries or unknown physics demands careful analysis and cautious interpretation. If some UAP are indeed advanced aircraft from other nations, they could represent a significant intelligence threat, capable of circumventing existing detection and defense systems. This necessitates a reassessment of current military protocols and surveillance strategies. Additionally, if the phenomena involve physics beyond our current understanding—such as gravity manipulation or anti-gravity propulsion—this could revolutionize technology and security paradigms. Such breakthroughs could render current military assets obsolete, prompting a need for rapid adaptation. Therefore, nations must invest in dedicated research units, enhance radar and sensor capabilities, and develop international cooperation frameworks to monitor and respond to these phenomena effectively. A balanced approach—one that prioritizes security without inciting undue alarm—is essential for future policy formulation.
Expert Testimony andWhistleblowers: Witnesses like Dylan Borland bolster the credibility of claims that there is more to UAP phenomena than publicly acknowledged. Their insights could guide future investigations and policy decisions. Borland’s testimony, for instance, often highlights firsthand experiences of unexplained encounters, emphasizing the importance of transparency and systematic data collection. Such whistleblowers often face significant risks, including professional repercussions or personal security concerns, yet their contributions are invaluable. Their accounts can help identify patterns, correlate sightings across different regions, and provide leads for scientific analysis. Encouraging a culture of responsible reporting and protecting whistleblowers are vital steps toward building a comprehensive database. This, in turn, could facilitate the development of predictive models and foster international cooperation. Governments and scientific institutions should establish secure channels for whistleblowers and develop protocols to evaluate and integrate their testimonies objectively, ensuring that their insights lead to meaningful advances.
Media Framing and Public Perception:How footage and information are presented influences public understanding. Skeptics warn against sensationalism, fearing that exaggerated claims could undermine scientific credibility and provoke unnecessary panic. They advocate for cautious, evidence-based reporting, emphasizing the importance of peer-reviewed research and transparent methodologies. Conversely, advocates for disclosure argue that withholding information fuels conspiracy theories and public distrust. They emphasize that open communication—accompanied by rigorous scientific validation—can foster a more informed and rational discourse. The media’s framing impacts policy responses and societal attitudes toward UAP phenomena. Responsible journalism should aim to balance skepticism with curiosity, providing context and expert opinions to avoid misinformation. Public perception can be shaped positively by educational initiatives, transparent briefings, and inclusive dialogues involving scientists, policymakers, and the community. Ultimately, fostering an environment of trust and scientific integrity will be crucial for addressing future developments and ensuring societal resilience in the face of these enigmatic phenomena.
In conclusion, the ongoing debates and investigations surrounding UAP phenomena highlight the importance of a multifaceted approach—combining transparency, scientific rigor, strategic security measures, and responsible communication. As new data emerges and technology advances, nations and communities must collaborate to deepen understanding, safeguard security, and foster public trust. Establishing clear protocols for data sharing, investing in advanced detection and analysis tools, protecting whistleblowers, and promoting responsible media coverage will be essential steps in navigating the complex landscape of UAP research and policy. Future efforts should aim to bridge gaps between scientific inquiry and national security, ensuring that knowledge progresses in a manner that benefits society as a whole. By doing so, humanity can better prepare for and understand these phenomena, transforming uncertainty into opportunity for technological progress and scientific discovery.
Conclusion
The September 2025 UAP hearing, highlighted by the provocative Hellfire missile footage and the impactful testimony of Dylan Borland, represents a pivotal moment in the ongoing exploration of aerial anomalies.

The Clash Over UAP Transparency: Laslo, Luna, and the Fight for Visibility
The Clash Over UAP Transparency: Laslo, Luna, and the Fight for Visibility
The recent controversy surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) disclosures has thrust into the spotlight a complex and contentious debate about transparency, secrecy, and political motivations within the U.S. government. At the heart of this controversy are journalist Matt Laslo and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, whose conflicting actions and statements reflect broader tensions over how the United States handles information about UAPs. Their clash highlights issues of trust, censorship, and the potential politicization of what many hope will become a more transparent investigation into phenomena that continue to mystify the public and intelligence communities alike.
Background: The UAP Phenomenon and Government Response
UAPs have long been a subject of speculation and intrigue, often dismissed as conspiracy theories or dismissed as weather balloons and aircraft. However, in recent years, credible military and intelligence officials have acknowledged the existence of unidentified objects exhibiting capabilities beyond known technology. This acknowledgment has prompted calls for greater transparency and scientific inquiry, leading to the establishment of panels and task forces aimed at declassifying and understanding these phenomena.
One such effort is the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which was created to oversee the release and examination of classified information related to UAPs. Led by Congresswoman Luna, this panel was supposed to serve as a bridge between government secrecy and public knowledge. Yet, critics have argued that the task force lacks the necessary resources—no budget, no staff, and no independent authority—to effectively conduct its mission. Promised hearings have been canceled, whistleblower briefings have not been scheduled, and there are even discussions among some lawmakers to dismantle the agency altogether, favoring a shift of responsibility to more secretive agencies like the FBI.
This context underscores a fundamental issue: while the government claims to want transparency, its actions suggest a reluctance or inability to fully disclose information. The establishment of a supposedly transparent panel that remains hamstrung by bureaucratic limitations raises questions about the sincerity of the government’s intentions.
Laslo’s Role as a Whistleblower and Journalist
Matt Laslo, a reporter with Ask a Pol, is one of the few journalists consistently covering UAP issues from Capitol Hill. As the only boots-on-the-ground journalist focusing on this niche, Laslo has gained access to some of the inner workings of the UAP investigation. His reporting has, at times, brought to light discrepancies and concerns about the government’s handling of the phenomenon.
Laslo alleges that whistleblowers—individuals with direct knowledge of classified UAP information—no longer trust Luna. He claims that this erosion of trust is partly due to Luna’s actions and statements, which appear to block transparency. Laslo’s reporting intensified when he uncovered information suggesting Luna told him she “can’t talk about bodies she and Matt Gaetz saw.” Although Luna did not outright confirm the existence of bodies, her cryptic response, “I cannot discuss these things, you know that,” fueled speculation.
Sources close to Laslo indicate that Luna and Congressman Matt Gaetz might have been briefed on a video showing bodies—an assertion that both Luna and Gaetz publicly deny ever having seen such bodies. Gaetz’s office acknowledged that a classified briefing took place but refused to comment on its contents. The ambiguity surrounding these claims adds to the controversy, with many viewing it as a potential cover-up or at least a sign of internal disagreements over transparency.
The Gag Rule and Suppression of the Press
As tensions mounted, Luna took an increasingly aggressive stance towards the press, particularly Laslo. She moved to restrict access to the Task Force, effectively implementing what Laslo describes as a "gag rule." This move blocks him—and by extension, the public—from following the investigation and obtaining information about UAPs through official channels. Such censorship directly contradicts Luna’s campaign promises of transparency and openness, leading critics to accuse her of undermining the very purpose of the task force.
This shift towards suppression has significant implications. If the panel designed to shed light on secretive information is actively silencing journalists and restricting access, it risks becoming a tool of secrecy rather than disclosure. The public’s right to know about phenomena that could have national security implications is being compromised, raising concerns about the politicization of UAP investigations.
Broader Reactions and Concerns
The controversy has not gone unnoticed outside Capitol Hill. Media outlets such as Psicoactivo and Down To Earth have highlighted the issues of censorship, bias, and politicization surrounding the UAP debate. Their coverage emphasizes the troubling possibility that the very institutions created to promote transparency are instead becoming enclaves of secrecy. This phenomenon reflects a broader pattern in government transparency initiatives, where the initial promise of openness is undermined by bureaucratic inertia and political self-interest.
For many, the current state of affairs signals a setback in the quest to understand UAPs. The idea that a supposedly independent task force is now operating under restrictions and possibly internal conflicts suggests that the government may be more interested in controlling the narrative than in revealing the truth. The suppression of whistleblower testimonies, the cancellation of hearings, and the reluctance to declassify information reinforce fears that UAPs remain a taboo subject within official circles.
Implications for Public Trust and Future Disclosure
The conflict between Laslo and Luna encapsulates a deeper issue: the erosion of public trust in government institutions regarding national security and scientific transparency. When representatives and officials appear to withhold information or censor journalists, it fuels suspicion and conspiracy theories. Conversely, transparency and open inquiry could foster public trust, scientific progress, and better policy responses.
The debate also raises questions about the role of Congress and the executive branch in managing sensitive information. Should panels like Luna’s be empowered with resources and independence to facilitate truthful disclosures? Or should national security concerns limit what can be shared with the public? Finding a balance between these priorities is essential for maintaining both security and transparency.
Conclusion: A Critical Juncture in UAP Discourse
The clash between journalist Matt Laslo and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna reflects the broader struggle over the future of UAP transparency in the United States. Laslo’s expose of possible censorship and the secrecy surrounding high-level briefings highlight the challenges faced by independent journalists and concerned citizens seeking clarity. Luna’s actions, whether driven by political motives or genuine security concerns, have cast doubt on the government’s commitment to openness.
As the debate continues, it is vital for policymakers, the media, and the public to advocate for transparency, accountability, and scientific rigor in investigating UAPs. Only through honest and open discourse can society hope to understand these mysterious phenomena and address the implications they hold for national security, scientific progress, and our collective curiosity about the unknown. The current conflicts serve as a reminder that transparency should be the guiding principle—one that transcends politics and bureaucracy in the quest for truth.

Senator Claims Government Still Hiding UFO Evidence & ‘Proof of Non-Human Intelligence’ in 2025
Introduction: A New Era of Disclosure
In 2023, the world watched with bated breath as the U.S. Congress held a groundbreaking hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), marking a significant turning point in the global conversation about extraterrestrial life and aerial anomalies. The testimonies of highly credible whistleblowers such as David Grusch, a former intelligence officer, Ryan Graves, a commercial pilot, and David Fravor, a retired Navy pilot, brought new credibility to the subject. These individuals shared detailed accounts of unexplained sightings, encounters, and classified information, igniting widespread curiosity and prompting governments and scientific communities to reevaluate long-held assumptions about aerial phenomena.
By 2025, this momentum has only intensified. Governments around the world are increasingly acknowledging the reality of UAPs, with some openly admitting that certain sightings defy conventional explanations like weather phenomena or aircraft malfunctions. High-resolution radar data, declassified footage, and sensor recordings have all contributed to the growing body of evidence suggesting that some UAPs might involve non-human intelligence. Several nations, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and France, have initiated joint research projects and open data-sharing initiatives aimed at understanding these phenomena better.
Despite these advancements, many experts and members of the public remain skeptical, suspecting that governments are still withholding vital information. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s 2023 legislation, which aimed to declassify and release UAP-related records, was a significant step forward. However, recent reports indicate that key details continue to be classified, fueling conspiracy theories and public distrust. Investigations by independent researchers and international collaborations have uncovered anomalies that challenge our understanding of physics and technology, hinting at the possibility of non-human origin or advanced extraterrestrial technology.
Moreover, recent technological developments, including the deployment of AI-driven analysis tools and international intelligence sharing, have accelerated efforts to decode these mysteries. The mounting evidence suggests that we are on the verge of a paradigm shift—moving from secrecy and skepticism toward openness and scientific inquiry. As we stand at this crossroads, humanity faces profound questions about our place in the universe, the presence of intelligent life beyond Earth, and what the future holds as we inch closer to discovering the truth behind these enigmatic phenomena.
The Current State of UAP Transparency and Government Action
Since 2023, significant strides have been made by the United States and its allied nations to enhance transparency and deepen understanding of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). These developments reflect a concerted effort to move beyond secrecy and foster scientific inquiry into phenomena that have long intrigued both the public and the scientific community.
Declassification and Public Reports:One of the most notable steps has been the systematic declassification of UAP-related material. The Department of Defense (DoD), along with intelligence agencies such as the CIA and NSA, has released hundreds of previously classified videos and reports. These include compelling footage captured by military pilots and sensor systems, which depict objects displaying flight characteristics that challenge current understanding of aeronautics. In late 2024, the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) published the “Annual UAP Report 2024,” marking a pivotal moment. This comprehensive document acknowledged over 1,200 UAP encounters since 2004, of which many remain unexplained even after rigorous analysis. The report emphasizes that these phenomena are not attributable to known aircraft, natural phenomena, or technological artifacts, thereby underscoring the need for further investigation.
Establishment of the UAP Oversight Committee: In 2024, the U.S. government formalized its approach by creating the UAP-Scientific and Technical Analysis Group (UAP-STAG), an interagency task force designed to unify efforts across military, intelligence, scientific, and diplomatic sectors. The primary mandate of UAP-STAG is to systematically analyze, catalog, and investigate UAP incidents, especially those exhibiting advanced flight capabilities or associated with unexplained materials and electromagnetic signatures. This committee aims to bring scientific rigor to the study of UAPs, moving away from speculation toward evidence-based understanding. It also seeks to develop standardized protocols for future investigations and to ensure that findings are transparently shared with policymakers and, where appropriate, the public.
International Collaboration:Recognizing the global nature of the phenomenon, the U.S. has actively engaged with international partners. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and NATO members have entered into data-sharing agreements and joint investigation initiatives. These collaborations facilitate a broader, more comprehensive approach to UAP research. Additionally, the European Space Agency (ESA) has launched dedicated missions to scan near-Earth space for anomalies, aiming to identify potential sources or links to UAP activity. Such international efforts underscore the importance of a coordinated response to phenomena that transcend national borders.
Private and Scientific Sector Engagement: Beyond government agencies, the private sector and academic institutions are increasingly involved in UAP research. Major aerospace and technology companies, including SpaceX, Blue Origin, and several university-affiliated research groups, are conducting independent studies into anomalous phenomena. These organizations often share preliminary findings with government agencies under strict confidentiality agreements, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected while fostering scientific collaboration. This engagement fosters a multidisciplinary approach, integrating aerospace engineering, physics, and atmospheric science to better understand the phenomena. The involvement of private enterprise and academia is vital in providing innovative perspectives and technological capabilities to unravel the mysteries surrounding UAPs.
Overall, these developments reflect a paradigm shift towards transparency and scientific inquiry in UAP research. While many questions remain unanswered, the increased openness and coordinated efforts mark a significant turning point in how governments and society approach the study of these enigmatic phenomena.
Recent High-Profile Incidents and Evidence
1. The “Tri-Planetary” Encounters of 2024
In early 2024, multiple UAPs were recorded simultaneously over the Pacific Ocean during joint military exercises. These objects displayed unprecedented flight characteristics: instantaneous acceleration, hovering at hypersonic speeds, and silent operation. Some of these craft appeared to communicate via electromagnetic signals, suggesting a level of sophistication far beyond current human technology.
One noteworthy incident involved a UAP that hovered near a U.S. Navy carrier for over 45 minutes before departing at incredible speeds. Analysis of recovered debris indicated exotic materials not found on Earth, with atomic structures that challenge our understanding of physics.
2. The “Lunar Anomaly” Findings
In late 2024, NASA and the European Space Agency announced the discovery of anomalous structures on the Moon’s far side, captured by new high-resolution orbiters. These structures, some resembling artificial constructs or machinery, have sparked debates about whether extraterrestrial civilizations might have visited or even established outposts on the Moon or elsewhere in the solar system.
The most compelling evidence came from a recent leak of classified images showing what appears to be a large, partially buried metallic object with geometric features inconsistent with natural geology. Scientists are calling for further investigation, but official access remains restricted.
3. Underwater UAPs and Submarine Encounters
In 2024, several allied navies reported encounters with submerged UAPs, some operating at depths beyond known human capability. These objects have been tracked traveling along undersea corridors, emitting electromagnetic signatures, and possibly interacting with undersea infrastructure. Such phenomena suggest that non-human intelligence may have mastery over both air and sea domains.
Whistleblowers and New Testimonies
David Grusch & the Hidden Programs
Whistleblower David Grusch has become one of the most prominent figures in the ongoing discussion about UFOs and government secrecy. His revelations in 2023 about secret retrieval programs have sparked intense debate worldwide, and his continued disclosures in 2024 deepen the mystery surrounding these clandestine activities. Grusch claims that the U.S. government has been involved in a series of highly classified projects aimed at recovering and analyzing extraterrestrial technology and biological specimens.

According to Grusch, thousands of recovered artifacts, some nearly a hundred years old, are stored in undisclosed facilities, guarded by a complex network of agencies and contractors. These artifacts include fragments of alien spacecraft, biological samples, and possibly preserved extraterrestrial lifeforms. Some of these biological specimens are said to be kept in specially designed biocontainment units, possibly stored in underground vaults or remote military bases. Grusch emphasizes that this extensive cover-up involves numerous government agencies, including the Department of Defense, intelligence agencies such as the CIA and DIA, and private defense contractors who have been contracted to develop technology from recovered materials. He also suggests that foreign governments may have knowledge of or even participate in parts of this covert operation, complicating international relations and raising questions about global oversight.
Grusch’s assertions point to a vast and deeply hidden archive of alien-related material, which, if verified, would fundamentally alter our understanding of human history and technological development. He warns that the scope of this concealment is enormous, involving not only military and intelligence agencies but also shadowy corporate entities that profit from the technology’s secrecy. The implications of such a cover-up extend beyond national security concerns, touching on issues of transparency, ethics, and humanity’s right to know about extraterrestrial life. Grusch’s testimonies continue to fuel speculation and investigation, prompting calls for congressional hearings and independent inquiries into the existence and extent of these secret programs.

These testimonies describe encounters with “intelligent” UAPs that seem to exhibit behaviors indicating purpose, coordination, and even curiosity about human activity. Many of those who have come forward recount experiences where UAPs appeared to respond to human commands or gestures, suggesting a level of awareness and possibly intelligence.
Several military pilots have reported that during their encounters, UAPs adjusted their flight paths to avoid collision, often moving in ways that suggest a calculation of human intentions and movements. Some pilots noted that these objects seemed to follow specific objects or locations, such as military bases or research facilities, raising suspicions about surveillance or reconnaissance activities. Others have described observing UAPs performing complex maneuvers, such as sudden accelerations or hovering at extreme altitudes, that current human-made aircraft cannot replicate.
Radar operators have reported detecting UAPs that appear to outmaneuver conventional aircraft and radar systems. These objects often display sudden changes in direction and velocity, making them difficult to track or predict. In some cases, radar blips have disappeared or reappeared at will, indicating a mastery of electromagnetic or stealth technology that could be of extraterrestrial origin. Scientists involved in analyzing these data sets have suggested that these UAPs show signs of purposeful behavior, such as following specific flight paths or maintaining proximity to sensitive sites, implying that some UAPs may possess a form of intelligence.
The testimonies also describe incidents where UAPs exhibit curiosity about human activity, seemingly observing or even approaching military personnel or equipment. Such behaviors suggest an interest beyond mere observation, possibly indicating a willingness to interact or communicate. These encounters have often left witnesses with a mixture of fascination and concern, as they challenge existing scientific paradigms and raise questions about the intent and origin of these objects. The consistency and detail of these testimonies have prompted calls for more systematic investigation, including the deployment of specialized sensors and the development of protocols for safe interaction.
Overall, these new testimonies underscore the complexity and potential significance of UAP phenomena. They suggest that these objects are not mere anomalies or natural phenomena but may represent an advanced form of intelligence—either extraterrestrial or highly evolved human-made technology.

Historically, UAPs were often dismissed or ridiculed, but recent developments have fostered a shift towards serious scientific inquiry. Notably, organizations such as the International Astrobiology Institute and the Quantum Physics Society have issued joint statements emphasizing the potential significance of unexplained aerial phenomena. They argue that these phenomena could hold the key to revolutionary breakthroughs, ranging from discovering new physics principles to understanding the existence of non-human intelligence. Such statements encourage scientists to approach UAPs without prejudice and to consider multidisciplinary research methods. They highlight the importance of transparency, data sharing, and open collaboration among nations and scientific disciplines. This movement aims to elevate UAP research from speculative fringe science to a credible field that can contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the universe. The recognition of UAPs as phenomena worthy of scientific scrutiny marks a pivotal shift in how these mysterious objects are perceived within the scientific community.
In 2024, a groundbreaking symposium held at the United Nations signified a major milestone in formalizing international cooperation on UAP research. This event brought together scientists, policymakers, military officials, and representatives from various countries to discuss strategies for investigating these phenomena. During the symposium, the proposal for establishing an official International UAP Research Consortium (IURC) was introduced and broadly supported. The IURC aims to serve as a centralized body responsible for coordinating global efforts, sharing collected data, and developing scientifically rigorous hypotheses regarding the origins, nature, and implications of UAPs. The consortium would facilitate data pooling from military, civilian, and academic sources, promoting transparency and avoiding the duplication of efforts. Furthermore, it seeks to standardize research methodologies, establish protocols for data validation, and foster international collaboration to accelerate understanding. The establishment of the IURC signals a paradigm shift in how countries approach the phenomenon—moving from secretive, compartmentalized investigations to an open, cooperative framework aimed at uncovering the truth through scientific rigor.

Theories and Explanations: From Secret Tech to Extraterrestrial Civilizations
Several hypotheses and explanations dominate the ongoing discussions about the nature of UAPs, reflecting the wide range of interpretations and the lack of definitive evidence so far. These theories are rooted in various scientific, technological, and speculative frameworks, each offering different perspectives on what these objects could be.
Advanced Human or Secret Tech: The first and perhaps most conservative hypothesis suggests that UAPs are secret prototypes or experimental technologies developed by human military or industrial entities. Known as “secret tech” or “black projects,” these could include advanced aircraft, drone systems, or other aerospace technologies that are not publicly acknowledged. Sometimes, these craft are believed to be part of clandestine programs—such as the U.S. Black Budget projects—which operate beyond the oversight of civilian authorities. Proponents argue that some sightings could be explained by highly sophisticated, covert technology designed for intelligence gathering or military advantage. These projects often involve cutting-edge materials, propulsion systems, and stealth capabilities, which might appear extraordinary to observers unaware of their existence. The challenge, however, lies in the lack of concrete evidence linking UAPs to known secret technologies, which keeps this hypothesis speculative. Nonetheless, the possibility that some UAPs represent undisclosed human technological advancements remains a significant consideration among researchers.
Foreign Spying and Countermeasures:The second prominent theory involves foreign espionage and countermeasures. This explanation posits that UAPs could be advanced surveillance devices operated by foreign adversaries such as China, Russia, or even lesser-known nations. These entities might deploy sophisticated craft or drone systems to probe military installations, gather intelligence, or test defenses. Such devices could be designed to mimic natural atmospheric phenomena or employ stealth technologies to evade detection. The idea is that some sightings could be the result of foreign espionage efforts aimed at understanding or countering national security measures. For example, certain anomalous objects observed near sensitive military sites could be classified as foreign reconnaissance tools, especially if they exhibit flight characteristics or technological features beyond current known capabilities. This hypothesis emphasizes the importance of intelligence, counterintelligence, and technological vigilance, as nations seek to defend against potential espionage threats. While there is limited public evidence to confirm such claims, the possibility remains plausible given the geopolitical landscape and advancements in covert surveillance technology.

Non-Human or Extraterrestrial Origins: TA highly provocative and widely debated hypothesis suggests that some UAPs originate from extraterrestrial civilizations. This theory is rooted in the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth and posits that certain unexplained phenomena are actual craft built or piloted by non-human entities visiting our planet. Proponents argue that the extraordinary flight capabilities, lack of identifiable propulsion systems, and unusual behavioral patterns observed in some UAP encounters could point to alien technology. The hypothesis is supported by anecdotal accounts, radar-visual correlations, and some declassified military footage showing objects performing maneuvers impossible with known human technology. If true, such encounters could have profound implications for science, philosophy, and our understanding of our place in the universe. Skeptics, however, call for caution, emphasizing the lack of concrete physical evidence and the need for rigorous scientific validation. Nonetheless, this hypothesis continues to inspire research efforts and public fascination, fueling the hope that UAPs might be visitors from distant worlds rather than terrestrial or natural phenomena.

Interdimensional or Parallel Universe Hypotheses:Finally, an emerging fringe hypothesis involves the idea that UAPs are connected to interdimensional or parallel universe phenomena. This speculative theory suggests that UAPs could originate from other dimensions or alternate realities that coexist alongside our own. According to this perspective, these objects might be manifestations or portals linked to entities or phenomena existing outside the scope of conventional physics. Some proponents argue that the strange flight patterns, inexplicable appearances, and sudden disappearances could be explained by interactions with higher-dimensional spaces. This hypothesis challenges current scientific paradigms, as it involves concepts of multiple dimensions, quantum entanglement, and parallel universes—areas still largely theoretical and unproven. Critics regard this idea as highly speculative due to the lack of empirical evidence, but it remains intriguing for those exploring the boundaries of physics and consciousness. If validated, this theory could revolutionize our understanding of reality itself, opening new frontiers in physics and metaphysics. The interdimensional hypothesis underscores the vast uncertainty surrounding UAPs and highlights the need for open-minded scientific exploration beyond conventional frameworks.
In summary, the scientific community recognizes the complexity and mystery surrounding UAPs, with multiple competing hypotheses ranging from secret human technology to extraterrestrial and interdimensional origins. Each explanation presents unique challenges and opportunities for discovery. As international efforts such as the proposed IURC gain momentum, the hope is that systematic, open-minded research will eventually unravel the true nature of these enigmatic objects, potentially leading to revolutionary scientific breakthroughs and a deeper understanding of our univere.

They discussed how numerous military and civil pilots and radar operators see and track UFOs performing speeds and manoeuvres that seem to defy the laws of physics.
Sceptics believe such sightings are either misperceptions, sensor anomalies, or involve secret prototype aircraft, missiles or drones.
The third witness at the hearing, David Grusch, is a former intelligence officer who served on the US government's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.
In testimony reminiscent of the infamous Roswell UFO incident, Grusch says the US government has recovered craft and bodies relating to what he calls a "non-human intelligence".
He undertook to pass specific details about this to Congressional representatives with the appropriate security clearances.
He said he blew the whistle because programs dealing with this are being run illegally, without proper Congressional oversight.
Grusch went further, talking about unspecified injuries that have befallen UFO witnesses, and threats and retribution against whistleblowers - including himself.
Separately, he filed a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General, apparently containing specific details that were frustratingly missing from the hearing, because it was an unclassified session.

Key takeaways
Unlike pilot sightings, which are multifactorial, there's no middle ground here: Grusch's claims are either true or false.
Could he be a disgruntled former employee trying to cause trouble, or involved in a deception operation - either as a willing participant or as an unwilling dupe?
If his allegations are true, they would have profound implications for humanity.
Congress is trying to verify Grusch's claims - a process complicated by the highly classified nature of some UFO information, and by the fact that multiple committees and sub-committees, both in the Senate and the House of Representatives, are investigating.
And US lawmakers are drafting multiple UFO-related provisions for inclusion in next year's Defense Bill.
Whatever the truth about UFOs, there's bipartisan agreement that it's a serious national security issue.
Furthermore, the level of official engagement in the US is in stark contrast to the UK, where the Ministry of Defence terminated UFO investigations in 2009, and say they have no plans to re-engage.
Nick Pope worked for the Ministry of Defence for 21 years. From 1991 to 1994 his duties included investigating UFO sightings to assess national security implications.
