Wow! That UFO flashes super bright like it was yelling with its inner light source at the world. This is a UFO that wants to be seen. Aliens know that US President Trump is releasing files and they want to push the agenda faster. Here we have such an example. UFOs love LAX and I myself have recorded them on the live cam years ago. Aliens love the high tech that flies and they also know that they will show up on radar to give little surprises and evidence to air traffic controllers in order to get proof of alien life to the public. This is 100% proof that aliens buzz over California frequently and over huge populated areas!

Ancient Sumerian Scorpion Tomb Found! Over 5,000 Years Old, UFO UAP Archeology Sighting News.

          

 

Date of discovery: June 26, 2026

Location of discovery: Iraq

Coordinates: 34°32'24.29"N 43°05'24.44"E

 

While using Google Earth map I found something in Iraq which goes back to the times of ancient Sumerian and Babylonian civilizations. There is a scorpion shaped tomb that has gone undiscovered for thousands of years and there it is, plain as day on the Google map. So take a look at the video and search some information about it. 

 

The scorpion tomb measures 200 yards by 100 yards across. Thats big for 5,000 years ago! 

In Sumerian and Babylonian tradition, a married pair of giant Scorpion-Men stand guard at Mount Mashu. They guard the gates of the sun god, Shamash, which leads into the underworld. Sounds like aliens, who have a base underground.

The Scorpion Men Mystery — Ancient Sumer’s Forbidden Guardians Were Terrifyingly Real

{ https://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/ }

A horseback rider has discovered hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of solar-powered devices arranged in a deliberate pattern across the slopes of California's Mount Shasta. 

As the rider moves through the area, many of the devices can be heard emitting a constant white noise-like sound. Some also appear to broadcast what resembles a human voice. The units are spread over a large section of the mountain and become audible only when you are within a certain distance of them. 

The objects appear to be spaced at fairly regular intervals, which is exactly what you would expect if they were intended to provide uniform sound coverage, consistent electromagnetic coverage, or systematic environmental monitoring. 

Mount Shasta has long been associated with legends of Lemurians, UFOs, mysterious energy vortices, and spiritual retreats. Because of its reputation, the discovery has naturally sparked speculation. Some believe the devices may have been installed by a spiritual group to play chants or meditation recordings. Others have proposed more extraordinary possibilities, suggesting they were intended to attract UFOs, communicate with non-human intelligences, conceal secret activities, or serve another paranormal purpose. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. 

Another suggestion is that the devices may not be conventional speakers at all, but solar-powered mantra players. This idea also remains unverified. 

Whatever their true purpose, the presence of so many of these devices scattered across Mount Shasta raises intriguing questions and suggests they were placed there for a specific reason. 

The horseback rider humorously dubbed the mysterious installation the "Lemurian Beacon System."

While Perseverance’s latest appearance reveals little more than a greenish spec on the planet’s rust-colored surface, also visible in the new images are the long path its formidable tires have left in the Martian soil as the robotic explorer has trekked west of its initial landing site.

The new images, captured on June 13, 2026, were taken just one day before Perseverance broke the previous distance record held by a robotic explorer on Mars: NASA’s Opportunity rover.

However, Perseverance completed this phase of its journey in record time compared to its predecessor, which took more than 11 years to traverse a similar distance. Perseverance, by contrast, covered the same distance in less than half that time, with just five years and four months of travel now behind it.

In the image above, NASA’s Perseverance Rover appears in the center of the image as a small, greyish-green reflective spot. Also visible are the impressions left by its all-terrain tires, revealing the robotic rover’s long path over the last several years of Martian exploration

The images were made possible by the MROs’ High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, which also captured surface features in the Arbot area that include ridges and windswept areas along Mars’ rugged exterior.

Built and operated by the University of Arizona, HiRISE captures images with resolutions as fine as about 25 centimeters (10 inches) per pixel, allowing researchers to distinguish features roughly the size of a kitchen table from orbit. The camera has returned hundreds of thousands of detailed images since the MRO arrived at Mars two decades ago, contributing to a growing data set that has transformed scientists’ understanding of the Red Planet.

Additional details about Perseverance and its mission can be found at NASA’s official web page, and information about the MRO can be found here.

NASA Has a Major Problem Threatening Its Entire Moon Plans

SpaceX / NASA

To get SpaceX’s mammoth Starship all the way to the Moon and back with astronauts on board will require an enormous amount of fuel.

Over a period of eight days, Elon Musk’s space company will need to launch at least 15 of them to fully load a fuel depot in low-Earth orbit. That fuel will then have to be transferred into a separately-launched Human Landing System variant of the spacecraft that astronauts will board before descending to the lunar surface.

Needless to say, SpaceX certainly has its work cut out to have its Starship ready for NASA’s Artemis 4 mission in 2028, the first crewed attempt to land on the Moon since 1972 — let alone dramatically increasing its launch cadence, as it has yet to launch and safely land the rocket.

It gets worse. Now, the space agency’s watchdog says there’s an even bigger problem that could threaten NASA’s ambitious plans. According to a new report by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), “NASA’s launch infrastructure is dated and lacks the capacity to meet the growing demands of the Agency and government and commercial partners.”

A major surge in commercial launches has put the launch pads at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia under major strain. And simply building more pads is far easier said than done. Growing “demand for super heavy-lift launch vehicles” is “driving the need for additional launch pads that can accommodate these vehicles, but locations for new launch pads are limited and will require extensive time and resources to develop,” the OIG frets.

Meanwhile, electrical power distribution is “being used beyond its design life and needs to be upgraded,” while the infrastructure for fuel components, like nitrogen and helium, could also “lead to delays.” Even the roadways around Kennedy were “not designed to accommodate the volume, frequency, and weight of modern heavy transport operations.” And declining budgets for maintenance and construction have resulted in lagging infrastructure that exacerbate it all.

The news comes after the Federal Aviation Administration approved SpaceX to launch its Starship from launch complex 39A, from which many Apollo and Space Shuttle program missions launched starting in the 1960s. Musk’s company is hoping to greatly expand the complex for its enormous spacecraft, including the addition of the many necessary structures on top of the launch pad, like towers and fuel tanks.

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, which NASA has also selected to develop a competing Human Landing Systems spacecraft for the Moon landing, will also need plenty of space and capacity for launching its powerful New Glenn rocket, further complicating matters.

In short, as the OIG notes in its report, NASA and its commercial partners need to make some major changes to ensure that the Artemis Moon program remains on track.

And that certainly doesn’t bode well, considering the development of both New Glenn and Starship are already running into numerous delays and failed test launches.

EXCLUSIVE - I saw unreleased UFO files at a secret meeting in the Tennessee mountains. We prayed after seeing what these 'humanoid beings' did... the world is not prepared

By CHRIS MELORE, US DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR

A pastor who claims he was whisked away to a secret UFO disclosure gathering in the Tennessee mountains has revealed chilling new details about the evidence he was shown. 

Last month, the Daily Mail first reported that private meeting of intelligence insiders, former military and faith leaders was said to have taken place in February ahead of the government's release of its 'UFO files', a collection of declassified records concerning unidentified flying objects.

One of the supposed attendees, Pastor Joseph Zupetz, has disclosed vivid new details about what he saw, warning that the UFO files released by the Trump administration so far are nothing compared to what is still to come.

Far removed from the grainy, blurry UFO footage previously released by the government, Zupetz said he and five other Christian influencers were shown images of non-human beings that were startlingly clear and sent chills down his spine. 

The pastor said the secretive meeting, whose attendees he declined to identify, was organized by 'personnel now working within groups that investigate non-human intelligence issues involving UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) and reverse-engineered craft.' 

'I was shown images that some of the people who were presenting to us had on their devices of real entities that they personally took photos of,' Zupetz told the Daily Mail.

'They took images of entities standing in the woods. They were very tall, they had very long appendages, some of them almost looked, and this is a crude way of saying it, almost like humanoid squid-type things.'

Congress recently requested 46 UFO videos from the Department of War, including one that viewers have claimed shows an angel flapping its wings

He claimed that other images featured 'tall, lanky, light beings,' with some completely see-through. 

Then, after leaving the two-hour meeting and boarding his flight back to Colorado, he noticed several glowing orbs hovering in the sky in the distance.

He recorded the strange encounter and shared the footage with the Daily Mail.

Zupetz said that during the flight, the plane was shaken so violently that he and other passengers began to pray.

When they looked back out the window, the orbs were gone from their view.

'We were flying in an aircraft, and we truly had an encounter with six orbs right outside the plane,' he said.

'We began to pray, and it stopped trembling. I thought that was very interesting. Now, maybe it was just turbulence, and we had a psychosomatic episode.' 

But, according to the pastor, he is convinced it was demonic and fears the encounter was linked to the meeting he had just attended. 

'Here I am, a faith-filled believer, and I'm seeing this, and it's making me question, like, okay, what is this? Is this demons? Is this angels? Is it high-level tech?' the pastor said.

Zupetz was one of several influential faith leaders who claimed to have attended private meetings held in Tennessee in February, where former government officials warned that information expected to be released this year could have profound implications for Christian beliefs.

The Daily Mail could not confirm that the meetings took place. But the evangelist Tony Merkel told us that he helped organize the meeting and was also in attendance.

Pastor Joseph Zuptz says he attended one of three secret meetings between faith leaders and former intelligence officials who believe UFO disclosure will shake the Christian faith

Merkel said the idea was to bring in key ministers who have a large reach within the Christian community to prepare people of faith for the potential disclosure of aliens.

On June 12, the third tranche of declassified files was released to the public, containing hundreds of pages of documents, images, videos and even audio recordings from NASA space flights.

However, Zupetz has admitted that he and his followers have not been shocked or convinced that extraterrestrial life existed after seeing these initial releases.

To this point, only a handful of videos disclosed by the Pentagon have shown clear footage of alleged UFOs, mostly metallic orbs, flying over the planet in great detail.

However, after attending the meeting in Tennessee, Zupetz and others were convinced the slow drip of UFO content from the government is designed to build a 'normalcy bias,' making strange things seem ordinary, to set up for a potentially Earth-shattering reveal in future. 

'They're going to continue to drip these things, drop them slowly, and it's not going to be shock and awe in the beginning. And this is what we were told,' Zupetz explained.

'Eventually, they will bring out an entity, a non-human biologic that they will either have speaking or communicating with, and when they do this, then it's going to be a little more shaking.'

The Pentagon's main UFO investigative unit has claimed that most reports of mysterious phenomena in the sky have been caused by explainable things, including balloons, drones and even bird sightings. 

A video released in the first wave of UFO files appeared to show a glowing object resembling an 'eight-pointed star' with uneven arms that has been compared to a craft from biblical times

Despite the ongoing file dumps from the Pentagon and multiple members of Congress saying more evidence of real UFOs exists, the US government has maintained that there is no physical proof that aliens exist.

However, Zupetz and other faith leaders have presented an alternative theory, calling the appearance of strange craft, glowing orbs and non-human figures evidence of 'fallen angel technology.'

The theory argues that UFO sightings that cannot be explained as advanced human technology or natural phenomena may actually be interdimensional beings described in the Bible and the controversial Book of Enoch. 

'I believe that they are fallen angel tech, or it is interdimensional abilities afforded to angels, rogue spirits or demonic powers that can manifest and appear,' Zupetz said, referring to the origins of the unexplained phenomena in our skies.

'I believe that is the big false flag thing, and the agenda they'll bring forward is saying, we originally are the ones that [seeded] you here. 

'The Bible you read is close, but it's not perfectly accurate, because now we're here to enlighten humanity, raise your consciousness, and bring you higher.'

Zupetz shared images of six orbs that surrounded his plane while leaving the secret meeting in Tennessee

Zupetz said his plane began shaking as the orbs surrounded the aircraft, and only stopped when the passengers began praying

Zupetz said believers who find themselves faced with similar sightings and questioning their faith should speak the name of Jesus during their encounters.

The pastor claimed that genuine good entities would respond positively, while deceptive ones would be triggered negatively.

The pastor also cited Steven Spielberg's latest film, 'Disclosure Day,' and the famed director's comments regarding believers in Jesus as more evidence of an ominous narrative being formed, which aligns with the Bible's darkest chapters.

During a CBS News interview, Spielberg reflected on how confirmation of intelligent life beyond Earth could affect religious faith, saying, 'The movie also takes the position of the church.

'What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there's civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?'

Zupetz said: 'When this disclosure happens, it's the narrative attached to it that'll become more and more negative towards Christianity.'

A Dyson sphere in shape of a cube found near Ursa Minor, historical first! UFO UAP Sighting News.

 

Date of discovery: June 26, 2026

Location of discovery: Constellation Ursa Minor

Source: World wide telescope

• https://worldwidetelescope.org/webclient/#/ra=14.39404&dec=72.50681&fov=0.01665

I was looking through an online astronomy site and found a Dysons sphere that was incomplete. That means a sun with walls built around it and an entrance facing us so we see its hollow. It's constructed so that aliens can harvest the free energy which is needed for most advanced technology. This particular Dyson is a cube shape, not a sphere...unheard of in astronomy and at our technological level...impossible to construct. And yet, I present it to you now, to see how an alien species unite to construct such useful and helpful ways to harvest energy. 

 

Oh and the link works perfectly, but you may have to use it twice, works the second time and give it a few seconds to zoom in and focus.

NASA’s Mars rover just found more evidence the planet may have sustained life

The stones were found in the same location where the rover previously found potential biosignatures

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover just found further evidence the Red Planet may have supported life billions of years ago.

A pair of Martian mudstones the rover collected from the planet’s Bright Angel rock formation in the Jezero crater have complex carbon, one of the building blocks of life, scientists say.

“Measurements of two mudstones show hundreds of organic detections, making this the most robust organic detection in Jezero crater thus far, and, to our knowledge, the only detection of macromolecular carbon on a natural rock surface on Mars,” the researchers wrote in a new study sharing the findings.

The stones were collected in the same location where the rover previously found evidence of ancient microbial life.

Earlier this year, NASA’s Curiosity rover also found never-before-seen organic molecules that the space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said “renewed confirmation that ancient Mars had the right chemistry to support life.”

Curiosity previously found carbon signatures in powdered rock samples it collected on Mars, too. But those were some 2,000 miles away in Mars' Gale Crater.

The researchers explain that understanding the origin of organic carbon in the Mars rocks is crucial to determining if there was life on the planet.

"Carbon is the primary building block for life on Earth, and all living things are made up of complex organic macromolecules," co-lead author Ashley Murphy, a researcher at the Planetary Science Institute, told Space.com on Wednesday. "On Earth, [macromolecular carbon] is often found in extremely old rocks and in some cases it is the only organic evidence of past microbial life.”

But they don’t yet know if the carbon in the mudstones was produced by something living or non-living.

The new carbon “could be from meteorites or cosmic dust; abiological processes like hydrothermal reactions; or they could be biological in nature,” planetary scientist Paul Byrne, of Washington University in St. Louis, told Science News.

The researchers used the Perseverance rover’s chemical-analyzing Raman spectrometer instrument to map where carbon was throughout the samples.

“One mudstone’s interior contained organic carbon within a primary silicate-dominated matrix; the other mudstone held organic carbon with secondary carbonate and sulfate minerals. The carbon in both rocks was not too weathered, indicating it may be recently exposed to Mars’ surface – or may be somewhat resistant to radiation and oxidation,” a release from the American Academy of Sciences said.

To understand if samples collected by Perseverance are signs of ancient life, they need to be studied back on Earth. The rover can identify the chemical and mineral makeup of areas on Mars, but it doesn’t have the ability to characterize the organic carbon’s make-up.

The stones are a part of dozens of samples Perseverance has collected to be sent home.

When that could happen is anyone’s guess because NASA’s Mars Sample Return program has been overhauled in favor of two cheaper strategies.

A sky crane or a commercial lander could come to collect the samples. Former NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said last year that the return would be set in motion as soon 2035 and as late as 2039.

Huge asteroid a MILE wide will zoom past Earth tomorrow – here’s how to spot it

• READ MORE: World's oldest known asteroid impact crater revealed 
  

By WILIAM HUNTER, SENIOR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY REPORTER

A huge asteroid measuring a mile across will zoom past Earth in an exceptionally close pass tomorrow.

The space rock, measuring twice the size of the Burj Khalifa, will pass so close to Earth that it will be visible with large binoculars or a small telescope.

At its closest point at 12:14 BST on Saturday, the asteroid will pass within 1,590,000 miles (2,560,000 km) of Earth.

While it is a near miss in astronomical terms, that is over six times the distance between the Earth and the moon.

Astronomers say that the asteroid, named 1997 NC1, poses no threat to Earth and there is no chance of a dangerous collision.

However, it will present a rare treat for stargazers, who should be able to see light bouncing off the rock's surface as it whizzes by at 5.6 miles (9 km) per second. 

According to the European Space Agency (ESA), people in the Northern Hemisphere will be able to see 1997 NC1 as it approaches Earth and passes Earth.

Meanwhile, those in the Southern Hemisphere will get a good look at this alien visitor once it has safely passed Earth's orbit.

A mile-long asteroid will zoom past Earth tomorrow night, passing so close that it will be visible to anyone with a decent pair of binoculars. Pictured: The asteroid 1997 NC1 as seen from the Northolt Branch Observatory, on the night of June 25

Based on the light reflected by 1997 NC1, astronomers estimate that it is between 750 and 1,650 metres across.

However, ESA also suggests that it could prove to be more reflective and smaller than currently thought.

Yet this still makes 1997 NC1 roughly 60 times bigger than the Chelyabinsk meteor, which exploded in the atmosphere over Russia and injured 1,491 people in 2013.

If an object this large were to collide with Earth, it would be considered a 'city killer', with the potential to cause catastrophic damage.

Luckily for us, the world's space agencies have been carefully tracking this object since it was discovered in 1997, and any chance of an impact has been ruled out.

Guy Wells, founder of Northolt Branch Observatories, told the Daily Mail: 'Whilst this is a fairly large near-Earth asteroid, there's absolutely no need for concern.'

What that leaves is an amazing opportunity to learn more about asteroids drifting through the solar system and to see a real extraterrestrial object with your own eyes.

Juan Luis Cano, of the ESA's Planetary Defence Office, says: 'A close approach to Earth by an object this size only occurs every few years.'

The asteroid, named 1997 NC1, will pass within 1,590,000 miles (2,560,000 kilometres) of Earth on Saturday 

This will help create a 3D model of the rock, revealing whether it is a loose pile of rubble that would break up in the atmosphere or a more dangerous solid rock.

But the astronomy action isn't limited to the professionals, as anyone with a decent pair of binoculars will be able to see 1997 NC1 as it passes.

Dr Ed Bloomer, Senior Astronomer at Royal Observatory Greenwich, told the Daily Mail: 'Factoring in the local horizon and sunset, between about 10:30 and 11:30 is the best window of opportunity for UK residents.

'Tonight, as the sun sets, it is near the constellation Bootes towards the West and will race eastwards over the next few hours towards Aquarius before dropping below the horizon.'

However, Dr Bloomer cautions that even a one-mile-long asteroid is quite small in astronomical terms, so it will be 'intrinsically very challenging to see properly.'

To give yourself the best chance, you can use a sky map app such as Stellarium to help track down the moving object.

Additionally, it is always advisable to try to avoid light pollution by heading to a dark, quiet area and give your eyes at least 20 minutes to adjust.  

The best way to find the 1997 NC1 will be to use a sky map app such as Stellarium (pictured), which will help to find the moving object 

Unfortunately, the weather forecast for Saturday night predicts fairly heavy cloud cover that will make it difficult to see the asteroid

Unfortunately, this space rock's arrival is poorly timed with the phases of the moon, as the moon will be waxing gibbous and approximately 94 per cent illuminated.

This will add a lot of additional light to the sky that will make the faint glow from 1997 NC1 much harder to spot.

Likewise, the weather looks far from ideal for stargazing, with the Met Office forecasting fairly heavy cloud cover settling in over Scotland and the east of England.

However, the passing asteroid will be visible tonight, although not as brightly, when weather conditions look to be clearer.  

And if you don't have any equipment, there's no need to miss out.

The Virtual Telescope Project will be livestreaming their observations of 1997 NC1's close encounter from their professional telescopes.

You can find those streams and more information about how to watch by following this link.

There will be two streams while the asteroid is at its brightest, both starting at 23:00 BST tonight and tomorrow night.
