Now this is very exciting. I found this video in the second release of the Trump UFO files and it's just wow! A giant black sphere is seen moving and then enters and exits the clouds. This thing is huge, I'm talking 100 meters or more huge! And it's seeding the clouds with smaller orbs that record data about Earth, including human activities, broadcasts, airwaves, and even human thoughts if it's within a few miles of the person. This source is indisputable, the infrared video is undeniable and this UFO is 100% alien technology as we see with its hair pin turn it made which would make any human pilot pass out or die.
Glowing orange sphere sends fisherman into full panic mode, UFO UAP alien sighting news

A person and his friend were fishing in a pond near a river and saw this glowing red sphere coming over the edge of the mountain top causing them to have a total mental meltdown. UFOs are known for frequently being seen over and around ocean areas, and this is more evidence of such an event. Also compounded by the eyewitness description of a haze around the object, which Bob Lazar of Area S4 said is caused by the propulsion system of alien craft.

Eyewitness states:
Lights on object, Aura or haze around object. Was fishing and a bright light appeared in the sky and was moving and then went below the horizon, super bright. Super Bright light way brighter than any star or satellite or rocket, it was moving around in the sky. Then set like the sun. Lit up the sky.

Now I found this interesting NASA photo just yesterday. Sure it was taken back in Jan 1, 2000 but its quality and ancient artifacts are much more authentic and detailed than today's 2026 photos which look air brushed out.
Why do I look for faces? Because there is no other evidence of intelligent alien life than a face carving, which is seen in all human cultures around the world. The face I found above looks similar to the native Indian tribes that are found on Earth. It has a pronounced chin, darker lips, normal size nose, but between the nose and the eyes it's more slanted and longer. Its eye ridge is larger than humans and its ear is larger but similar to humans. Other than meeting an alien face to face, there is no other greater evidence of intelligent life out there than this. It doesn't look terrifying like movies would like you to believe, it looks instead like an interesting person who you might sit down with and have a beer with chatting about life.
I also noticed other objects, but I will share the screenshots below this post. NASA tried to hide the objects by placing the photo upside on the website in a hidden archive most people never visit.

A massive cigar-shaped UFO rose from the Pacific, Soviet crew reported
Over the years and continuing to the present day, witnesses, pilots and naval crews around the world have reported seeing unidentified objects emerge from the oceans or descend into them from the sky. These accounts are not isolated incidents; rather, they appear to form a recurring pattern.
This has led some researchers to speculate about the possibility of advanced technologies or even civilizations operating deep beneath Earth's oceans. While such ideas remain speculative, the notion is not entirely implausible when one considers that an estimated 90 percent or more of the deep ocean has never been directly explored or observed by humans or submersibles.
The 1982 Sokolov UFO incident is one such case, prompting an intriguing question that continues to challenge researchers: who or what could be operating beneath the vast, largely unexplored depths of our oceans?
In May 1982, near the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Soviet Far East, a Soviet naval officer identified in some accounts as A. Sokolov, along with two fellow crewmen, reportedly witnessed an extraordinary object emerging from the Pacific Ocean.
According to their account, a massive cigar-shaped craft rose silently from the water, displaying four bright lights at its rear. The object then climbed rapidly into the sky, accelerated, and vanished from sight without producing any noticeable sound.
The Sokolov incident is frequently cited alongside other alleged military encounters involving unidentified objects entering or leaving the world's oceans. UFO researchers argue that such reports point to a technology capable of high-speed underwater operation, seamless transitions between water and air, and silent propulsion.
In this presentation, Richard Dolan explores this little-known Cold War-era USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) case, examining its Soviet naval context and its significance within the broader mystery of unidentified objects reportedly operating in and around Earth's oceans.

Eyewitness states:
Bright, silent spherical UAP over Survey Park, Kolkata. It displayed stable white brightness with no blinking navigation lights. I observed a bright, completely silent spherical aerial object over Survey Park, Kolkata, for approximately 30–40 seconds.
The object maintained a stable white brightness with no blinking or flashing navigation lights, ruling out standard commercial aircraft or consumer drones under local aviation regulations.The object traveled from West to North at an estimated elevation of 50–70 degrees. It displayed an unusual oscillating, down-up-down movement pattern rather than a straight satellite orbit line. Using a fixed tripod,
I successfully captured 6 seconds of steady video evidence. In the footage, a faint white trail or dust-like vapor is visible behind the object, which disappeared within milliseconds in the dark sky before the craft ultimately vanished behind a tree line.

Al jaren tasten astronomen in het duister over vreemde signalen uit de ruimte. Het gaat om korte maar krachtige radioflitsen die zich keurig elke paar minuten of uren herhalen. Een promovendus aan de Universiteit van Sydney denkt nu een verklaring te hebben gevonden.
De objecten heten in vakkringen long period radio transients (LPT). Het zijn als het ware kosmische bakens die met enige regelmaat opflitsen en daarna weer doodvallen. Al twintig jaar weet niemand zeker wat erachter zit. Astronomen hadden ruwweg twee theorieën. Ofwel zijn het extreem trage magnetars (sterk gemagnetiseerde neutronensterren die normaal in seconden ronddraaien, maar in dit geval veel trager), ofwel zijn het dubbelsterren waarvan minstens één een witte dwerg is.
Witte dwergen zijn de uitgedoofde kernen die overblijven nadat sterren zoals onze zon hun brandstof hebben opgebruikt. Ze zijn klein, dicht en vaak heel magnetisch. Eerdere ontdekkingen deden onderzoekers vermoeden dat de witte-dwergtheorie klopt, maar tot nu toe ontbrak sluitend bewijs.
De grote vondst
Kovi Rose, promovendus aan de Universiteit van Sydney, was data van de Australische radiotelescoop ASKAP aan het doorkammen. Hij was op zoek naar bronnen die sterk gepolariseerd radiolicht uitzenden. Van ongeveer drie miljoen objecten bleef er na filteren een select clubje van een honderdtal over, waarvan er één was die niemand eerder had geïdentificeerd. Het object kreeg de naam ASKAP J174508.9-505149, afgekort tot het net iets minder ongelukkige ASKAP J1745-5051.
Vervolgens werden er verschillende telescopen op het object gericht. Elke 1,34 uur bleek het radioflitsen terug te sturen. Optische spectra (lichtanalyses uitgesplitst naar kleur) lieten emissielijnen zien die typisch zijn voor een zogenaamde cataclysmische variabele. Dat is een dubbelster waarbij materie van de ene ster wordt opgeslokt door een witte dwerg. Twee satellieten pikten bovendien röntgenstraling op vanuit hetzelfde punt aan de hemel.
Die röntgenstraling kwam eveneens in een ritme van zo’n 1,3 uur aan. Dezelfde periode dus als de radioflitsen en niet toevallig ook als de tijd die de twee sterren nodig hebben om een keer om elkaar heen te draaien. Dat betekent dat het overstromen van materie van de ene naar de andere ster direct gekoppeld is aan wat we vanaf de aarde zien knipperen.
Dit maakt van ASKAP J1745-5051 het eerste exemplaar van zijn soort waarvan onomstotelijk vaststaat dat het om een actief etende dubbelster gaat. Voor astronomen is deze ontdekking van onschatbare waarde. Voor het eerst kan het signaal van een long period radio transient ‘vertaald’ worden.
Een minuscule begeleider
De partner van de witte dwerg is een ronduit petieterig sterretje. Onderzoekers schatten dat het zo’n tien procent van de massa van onze zon heeft. Waarschijnlijk gaat het om een rode dwerg of misschien zelfs een bruine dwerg (een object dat eigenlijk te licht is om als echte ster te functioneren). De twee tollen extreem dicht om elkaar heen. Hun afstand tot elkaar is kleiner dan de straal van onze zon en de witte dwerg slurpt actief materiaal van zijn buurman af.
En nu?
ASKAP J1745-5051 wordt nog altijd in de gaten gehouden. Tijdens vervolgwaarnermingen moet vooral de draaisnelheid van de witte dwerg zelf worden bepaald. Daarnaast willen astronomen begrijpen of dezelfde mechanismen achter alle LPT’s zitten.
We kennen allemaal de acht planeten van ons zonnestelsel. Daar zitten twee ijsreuzen bij, Uranus en Neptunus, maar mogelijk is er ooit een derde geweest.
Volgens een nieuwe studie heeft deze extra planeet miljarden jaren geleden een hardhandige herschikking van de planeten veroorzaakt. Daarbij zouden sommige manen van Jupiter en Uranus ontregeld zijn geraakt. Ook zijn er mogelijk zelfs nieuwe manen ontstaan.
Het ging net goed
Kort nadat de planeten zich zo’n 4 tot 4,5 miljard jaar geleden vormden, maakte het buitenste deel van het zonnestelsel een periode van extreme chaos door. Deze fase staat bekend als de instabiliteit van het Nice-model. In die tijd venderden de banen van Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus en Neptunus drastisch en werden ze zeer instabiel.
Het kwam vaak voor dat de reuzenplaneten bijna botsten. Ze naderden elkaar soms tot op zeer korte afstand en oefenden een sterke zwaartekracht op elkaar uit. Uiteindelijk leidde deze chaotische beweging ertoe dat de planeten in de banen terechtkwamen die ze vandaag de dag nog steeds volgen. Wetenschappers vragen zich echter al lange tijd af hoe hun manen deze heftige periode konden overleven.
122 simulaties
Om beter te begrijpen wat er gebeurde, vooral met de manen van gasreus Jupiter en ijsreus Uranus, analyseerde een onderzoeksteam 122 computersimulaties van het jonge zonnestelsel. Deze simulaties werden geselecteerd uit duizenden mogelijkheden, omdat ze belangrijke kenmerken van het huidige buitenste zonnestelsel het nauwkeurigst nabootsten.
Vervolgens berekenden de onderzoekers voor miljoenen jaren de complexe zwaartekrachtwisselwerking tussen de planeten, manen, de zon en passerende ruimteobjecten. Ze testten scenario’s die begonnen met vijf of zes reuzenplaneten, omdat de huidige versie van het Nice-model ook uitgaat van een of twee extra reuzenplaneten die later uit het zonnestelsel werden geslingerd.
De computermodellen lieten zien dat de overlevingskans van de maansystemen van zowel Jupiter als Uranus klein was, namelijk minder dan 15 procent. Van alle geteste scenario’s was er slechts één waarin zowel de oorspronkelijke planeten als hun manen samen overleefden.
Wanneer andere planeten te dicht bij Uranus kwamen, zorgde hun enorme zwaartekracht er vrijwel zeker voor dat zijn manen werden verwoest. In plaats van het zonnestelsel uit te worden geslingerd, botsten de manen echter met hoge snelheid op elkaar. Daardoor ontstond een enorm veld van ijzig puin dat zich na verloop van tijd weer samenvoegde tot nieuwe hemellichamen. Het onderzoeksteam denkt dat dit mogelijk verklaart hoe de maan Miranda van Uranus is ontstaan.
Maar dit was niet de enige aanwijzing voor een gewelddadig verleden van de Uranusmanen die uit de simulaties naar voren kwam. “Onze resultaten wijzen erop dat de manen van Uranus waarschijnlijk minstens twee keer zo hard zijn verstoord waardoor botsingen onvermijdelijk werden: zowel door de inslag die de planeet deed kantelen als door de instabiliteit onder de reuzenplaneten”, schrijven de onderzoekers.
Hoewel het onderzoek een fascinerend beeld schetst van het vroege zonnestelsel, erkennen de wetenschappers dat simulaties nooit alle details kunnen weergeven. Er is daarom meer modelonderzoek nodig om het lot van afzonderlijke manen met grotere zekerheid te kunnen vaststellen.
A pair of filmmakers believe they may have captured the strongest evidence yet of one of America's most enduring monster mysteries lurking beneath the waters of Lake Champlain.
The creature, known as Champ, is a legendary lake monster said to inhabit the 125-mile-long body of water that stretches between New York,Vermont and Canada.
Often compared to Scotland's Loch Ness Monster, Champ is typically described as a massive serpent-like beast or a prehistoric plesiosaur with a long neck, humped back and dark body, which some have dubbed 'America's Nessie.'
Despite decades of sightings, no one has ever produced definitive proof that the monster exists.
Now, filmmakers Richard Rossi and Kelly Tabor told the Daily Mail that they may have stumbled across exactly that while shooting a family movie inspired by the legend.
The pair discovered footage showing what appeared to be a large unidentified creature moving through the water behind their boat, a detail they did not notice until reviewing the video nearly two years later.
What Tabor believed she saw was a shape unlike any fish she had encountered on the lake. 'When I saw it, I saw it was like a skinny neck, and that the body got larger,' Tabor said. 'It looked like the skinny neck was oscillating back and forth, as if it was grazing underwater. My eyes were just popping out.'
The footage was captured during the production of Lucy and the Lake Monster, a children's film centered on the mystery of Champ.

(pictured)
The footage remained hidden in plain sight for nearly two years after filming wrapped.
It was only while reviewing footage during the editing process in 2025 that Tabor spotted something unusual trailing behind their 11-foot wooden boat.
Rossi recalled receiving an excited phone call from his longtime friend.
'I was skeptical at first. But then Kelly, in the editing process, called me one day, and she said, "I have the footage up on my large screen TV. You've got to take a look behind the boat."'
According to Rossi, Tabor told him: 'There's a large creature swimming behind the rope.' When he reviewed the footage himself, he was stunned.
While stories linking strange creatures to Lake Champlain stretch back centuries, the first widely documented modern sighting occurred in 1819.
According to local lore, Captain Crum reported seeing an enormous black creature in Bulwagga Bay.
Richard Rossi and Kelly Tabor caught a glimpse of the monster while filming a children’s film ‘Lucy and the Lake Monster’
The captain reportedly described a snake-like animal measuring roughly 187 feet long with eyes resembling a peeled onion.
Since then, hundreds of sightings have been reported around the lake.
Believers have suggested Champ could be anything from a surviving plesiosaur to a zeuglodon, an ancient whale ancestor that lived millions of years ago.
Others argue the sightings are likely the result of misidentified fish, floating logs, waves or optical illusions.
The mystery has become deeply woven into the culture of the region, as Port Henry, New York, markets itself as the home of Champ.
Businesses, festivals and tourist attractions celebrate the creature, while locals regularly share stories of unusual encounters on the water.
Tabor grew up in nearby Crown Point and spent much of her childhood searching for the elusive monster.
'Our town, Crown Point, borders Port Henry, and Port Henry is known as the home of Champ, because in that area there have been over 300 eyewitness accounts of the Lake Champlain monster,' she said, adding that her fascination began early.
'My family spent summers there,' Tabor said. 'We had a boat that we would go out in, and so I was always scanning the lake, trying to get my chance to see Champ.'
'As many times as I looked as a child, I never saw it.'
She believes she may have experienced something unexplained years later while attending college.
The pair discovered footage showing what appeared to be a large unidentified creature moving through the water behind their boat, a detail they did not notice until reviewing the video nearly two years later
One evening, she and several others were sitting on the porch of her family's lakeside cabin when they noticed an unusual disturbance on the otherwise calm water.
'There was a big stirring out a little ways from the front porch,' she said, explaining that the group watched as a wake appeared and moved directly toward them.
'It wasn't going from the left or the right. It wasn't bearing up and down. It was a straight wake, at least an inch high, coming straight at us.'
Everyone waited for whatever was causing the disturbance to surface. Instead, the object suddenly changed direction.
'It came right towards the cabin, and it made a 90-degree turn,' Tabor said.
'It went off to the left of the next point across the bay, and it never surfaced.'
Because Lake Champlain's water is often murky due to its clay-rich bottom, nobody could determine what had caused the wake.
'I like to believe that I actually saw the effects of Champ,' she said.
After discovering the new footage, Rossi shared it with scientists and researchers for analysis.
The clip eventually attracted the attention of The UnXplained, the History Channel series hosted by William Shatner.
According to the filmmakers, producers told them the footage represented the strongest evidence of Champ since a famous 1977 photograph taken by tourist Sandra Mansi.
That image appeared to show a long-necked creature emerging from the water and remains one of the most famous pieces of alleged Champ evidence.
Unlike the Mansi photograph, Rossi notes that the new footage includes a boat in the frame, providing viewers with a reference point for scale.
The video has since generated hundreds of thousands of views online and sparked renewed debate among believers and skeptics alike.
For Rossi and Tabor, the discovery has only deepened their fascination with the mystery.
The pair are returning to Lake Champlain this summer for the annual Champ Day festival and are already working on two additional films exploring the legend.
Whether the footage ultimately proves anything remains uncertain.
But more than 200 years after the first reported sighting, Champ continues to capture imaginations and keep people watching the waters of Lake Champlain for signs that something enormous may still be swimming below the surface.

''Champ'': The Scariest Legend You've Never heard Of
New Footage of Lake Champlain’s Monster Is Finally Out…
Scientists have issued a new blueprint for the day Earth receives a message from an alien civilization.
Released Friday, the eight-point plan lays out how researchers should handle a potentially world-changing signal from deep space, laying it out like a playbook for humanity's most extraordinary moment.
Scientists are instructed to treat any potential alien signal with extreme caution, verify it through multiple independent teams and keep unconfirmed findings tightly controlled to avoid false alarms.
If evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life is confirmed, researchers must rapidly inform the public, the scientific community and even the United Nations (UN) while releasing the underlying data for scrutiny.
The protocols also call for protecting the signal from interference, preserving all records in secure archives around the world and creating a dedicated international team to help manage the fallout from the discovery.
Researchers are warned not to send a reply to any alien civilization without first consulting the international community through bodies such as the United Nations.
The plan further acknowledges the dangers of the social media age, urging scientists to combat misinformation, respond quickly to rumors and protect researchers who could find themselves at the center of one of the biggest stories in human history.
With the Trump administration releasing dozens of UFO files in recent weeks, the creators of the plan say they want to prevent the world from being thrown into chaos by a false alarm.
Newly released FBI files have revealed an alleged message from 'outer space people' containing chilling warnings for humanity (stock)
The plan lays out a detailed roadmap for what should happen if scientists believe they have detected evidence of an intelligent alien civilization.
Under the protocols, researchers for Astrophysics and the chair of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) committee for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) are instructing other experts not to rush to announce a discovery to the world.
SETI is an acronym standing for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a scientific field dedicated to scanning the cosmos for artificial radio and laser signals.
Researchers said that any mysterious signal must undergo extensive scrutiny, with independent teams, observatories and organizations using different instruments and methods to determine whether it is genuine or merely a false alarm.
Scientists are warned that initial findings could be incomplete, misleading or impossible to interpret, meaning the verification process could take months or even years.
If the evidence survives that scrutiny and researchers become convinced it originated from an extraterrestrial intelligence, the protocols call for an immediate public announcement.
The discovery would be shared not only with the scientific community but also with the United Nations and a network of international organizations involved in astronomy, space exploration and communications.
The plan also requires the release of the underlying evidence, allowing scientists around the world to inspect the data, challenge the conclusions and attempt to independently verify the finding.
Recognizing the dangers of the social media era, the guidelines devote significant attention to controlling misinformation and rumors.
With the Trump administration releasing dozens of UFO files in recent weeks, the creators of the emergency plan say they want to prevent the world from being thrown into chaos by a false alarm. Pictured is an image from a release taken during the Apollo moon missions
Researchers are encouraged to communicate openly and honestly with the public while clearly labeling speculation and unconfirmed claims.
The protocols also acknowledge that a scientist who discovers evidence of alien intelligence could suddenly become one of the most famous people on Earth.
Institutions are urged to protect researchers from harassment, security threats and professional fallout while ensuring accurate information continues to flow to the public.
In the event a signal is confirmed, every piece of evidence must be preserved and archived in multiple secure locations around the world.
The data, analysis methods and computer code used to study the signal would be stored so that future generations of scientists can revisit the discovery.
The plan even includes measures to protect the signal itself. If the evidence arrives in the form of radio transmissions or other electromagnetic signals, scientists are encouraged to seek international agreements to safeguard the frequencies from interference or disruption.
An international post-detection committee would then be assembled to help interpret the discovery and guide the world's response.
The group would include experts in science, ethics, law, communications and social sciences tasked with helping humanity navigate the implications of learning we are not alone.
Perhaps the most striking provision concerns what happens next.
Even if humanity receives a message from an alien civilization, scientists are explicitly instructed not to answer.
Instead, any decision about responding would first require international consultations involving the United Nations and other global organizations. Until those discussions are completed, no reply should be sent.
The final section emphasizes that any discovery of intelligent extraterrestrial life must be handled with transparency, integrity and a sense of responsibility to all of humanity, recognizing that such a moment would rank among the most profound events in human history.
