But apparently, the tin-foil-hat society was a little closer to the mark than any of us would like to admit.
Decades of conspiracies have floated around the internet, putting the US government at the centre of a huge cover up regarding extra-terrestrials.
However, even after documentaries, alleged probing victim statements, and numerous sightings, nothing was ever officially confirmed.
Until recently.
The last couple of years has been major for alien news, with little snippets of information being revealed: namely, that aliens are real and spaceships have been actually seen up close.
The FBI declassified alien files
(FBI)
Oddly, nobody was all that surprised to learn that it was true, but what they might end up getting their backs up about is the new information which shows how these space-beings feel about us.
After the Trump administration ordered a huge info dump to be dropped, with FBI classified files being revealed, it turns out we’re not the greatest species after all.
More like the ants of the universe.
The information is contained in an FBI memo of the 1955 interrogation of the Detroit Flying Saucer Club – a prominent UFO group.
According to the files, Randall Cox, a member of the club, told the FBI that aliens had been sending communication to them, revealing that all other planets had ‘conquered outer space,’ with Earth just left in the dust.
Oh, and they also consider us the ‘lowest form of universal existence.’
I didn’t think I’d have beef with space, but here we are.
"You can't sit with us" - the aliens, probably

Anyway, the documents went on to suggest that aliens had been prepping us for their arrival, stating: "He feels the purpose of contacts with Earth is limited at this time to preparing people to receive landings from outer space."
However, not to fear – apparently the UFOs were ‘friendly to the US.’
The files were dropped on the orders of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth under Donald Trump’s orders, leading to some political figures to take a swipe at the administration after it had denied the files existence.
One of the critics, Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett, wrote on X that things are going to get messy, writing: "The 1st drop will be big, but in comparison to what is coming they will be a drop in the bucket. I would say 'Holy Crap' is coming."

UFO Files Bombshell: Aliens JAM U.S. Nuclear & Missile Sites? Pentagon's Stunning Reveal
FBI Flying Discs 1947: UNRESOLVED — Full Declassified File
EXCLUSIVE - Top scientist admits universe is 'teeming with life'... and reveals what first contact will look like amid Trump's UFO disclosure
By CHRIS MELORE, DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
One of America's most popular scientists says there is no doubt the universe is teeming with extraterrestrial life as UFO disclosure gets underway.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, the famed astrophysicist, author and podcast host, spoke to the Daily Mail about the first wave of files released by the Pentagon on May 8 and what secrets could still be coming.
When asked if aliens really exist, Tyson said: 'Anyone who's studied the problem would answer without hesitation that we are not alone.'
'We're made of the most common ingredients in the universe. So life, if anything, was opportunistic, working with the materials that it was given in the early Earth. So, anyone who's studied the problem is ready for the universe to be teeming with life.'
While Tyson, 67, was skeptical that US intelligence officials were preparing to reveal a living alien or the corpse of one, he was certain the world was prepared for the watershed moment when the existence of life on other planets was confirmed.
'Of course, we're ready, because movies have been prepping us ever since War of the Worlds. We've already been told the government has them in the back shed; they just haven't brought them out yet. So, society didn't collapse in the face of that knowledge,' the scientist declared.
With first contact in mind, Tyson noted that humanity would need to take key steps to prove its intelligence to visitors who have the power to travel millions of miles through interstellar space.
That includes remembering a set of key facts he said every child learned in middle school - the Pythagorean theorem and the periodic table of elements.
Neil deGrasse Tyson (Pictured) has revealed what he believes will be the key information alien life would need to hear from humanity during first contact
The Pentagon began releasing the first files related to UFO encounters and the search for alien life on May 8
'Science and math would be universal languages. They would need to know science and math to get here. They don't know English, they don't know Latin, they don't know any of our languages, they don't know our culture, but they'll know science,' Tyson explained.
'It'll be a first step towards endearing them to us, and that we're not just worms crawling beneath their feet.'
The astrophysicist did not believe that face-to-face contact with alien life has actually taken place yet, despite the growing interest in UFO disclosure.
He noted that if aliens had really landed, it would be unlikely that only the government would know, especially with so many cameras and people having access to technology worldwide.
Tyson was also skeptical that aliens would only appear in restricted military airspace, as some UFO whistleblowers have detailed.
'I think a first encounter would not necessarily be with a military pilot. It could just be anybody who's got one of these recording devices. In a first encounter, it could be anybody, anywhere on the Earth.'
However, there was one group of people Tyson said should not receive the honor of making first contact with alien life, flat earthers.
'I'd be scared if the first person the alien found was a flat earther. Then it's like, okay, there's no hope for civilization if they're trying to convince the alien that Earth is flat. The alien would just run home to their home planet and report that there's no sign of intelligent life on Earth. We don't want that to happen.'
Tyson (Left) has released a new book which focuses on the topic of alien abduction and the real-life physics that the scientist said would make these encounters possible

Newly released FBI files have revealed shocking details of mysterious four-foot-tall crewmen exiting a UFO in the 1960s
Although Tyson has previously stated there has been insufficient evidence to prove that extraterrestrials have visited Earth, his new book, 'Take Me To Your Leader,' is bracing for the possibility of shocking revelations as UFO disclosure continues.
The author described the book, which delves heavily into the realm of alien abductions, as a celebration of how humans have imagined extraterrestrials, while comparing it with realistic possibilities based on physics and biology. It is available for purchase starting May 12.
Tyson added his stance on the question of alien encounters has changed because of high-ranking military, intelligence and government insiders who have come forward with serious claims, including that the military has been reverse-engineering alien craft for decades.
'That ship has sailed, because we had people from deep within the government testifying in front of Congress,' Tyson noted.
However, the astrophysicist noted that he was still taking a scientific approach to the decades-old reports and witness testimony presented in the first tranche of UFO documents released, saying it was not true evidence of alien life.
Referencing alien abduction claims, Tyson said: 'Testimony does not count as evidence. Evidence is evidence. So, if you had a high-res video walking onto an alien ship, and they did an anal probe, that's pretty good evidence.'
'What I want in the disclosure is to disclose the alien. Bring out the alien. If you got one in the back, bring it out,' he added.
Are Humans Alone In The Universe?
Scientists just realised the universe is bigger than we thought — and it changes everything
Here they are — the US government documentson UFOs, now unclassified. At last, the conspiracy to hide them is unmasked!
Okay. We would not wish to be persecuted by the Conscience Fairy for deceiving anyone in this matter so let the articulate University of Rochester astrophysicist Adam Frankspeak for us about what that really means:
I get up early and starting pouring through them. I click. I read. I watch videos. I click again. And then I realize…
There’s nothing here.
This highly touted disclosure amounts to just an endless parade of fuzzy images (or videos) and unverifiable personal testimony. Some of the documents go back 70 years but it’s all basically the same. Taken as a whole, it’s the kind of thing we’ve seen for decades: fuzzy images; unverifiable personal testimony; no hard evidence. There’s even a laughable image of flashing “orb‘ in a wheat field made by photoshopping a bad cartoon onto to a photo. It was an FBI technician’s attempt to illustrate someone’s account of a sighting.
He goes on to complain, “Given the explosive congressional hearings we seen where witness claim the government has lots in crashed alien spaceships and dead alien bodies, I was kinda hoping for a whole lot more. It was all just so… boring.”
The US government probably made a wise call in this matter because almost all of the conspiracy nonsense revolved around the word “classified.” Not any more. Now, if you want to wade through pages of fuzzy nothing, nothing other than your sense of the value of your time is stopping you.
Spielberg should make a bundle off this.
In the US edition of Spectator, David Whitehouse has it right about what secrecy does:
It launched the careers of a new wave of UFO celebrities who fed the growing number of UFO YouTube channels and conferences. There were speaking tours, TV spots and book deals. They fueled the decades old suspicion that there is a cover-up, a conspiracy hiding our contact with so-called non-human intelligence and retrieved crashed spaceships. The key word was disclosure. Stephen Spielberg caught the zeitgeist and his new film, “Disclosure Day,” is out soon.
For all some of the rest of us know, it was pressure from various actors to keep their profitable gigs going that kept the UFO secrecy in place all these years.
Call that a conspiracy theory if you want. But remember, it does not involve any aliens. Just speculations about the hard business calculations from known earthly actors. I could be wrong but it is definitely not weird.
Look, maybe we are alone in the universe. Or maybe not. But real space exploration, the tough stuff, is the only way we can hope to find out.

The UFO Files Dropped… But Are They Holding Back the Real Evidence?
260 Giant Monuments Found In Sahara Desert, Where A Dangerous New Gold Rush Is Heating Up
By Tom Hale

While the Egyptian pharaohs were raising their pyramids above the sands of Giza, another culture was quietly burying its dead in grand monuments just across the desert. For thousands of years, these landmarks have lain in obscurity in one of the most punishing landscapes on Earth, but new research is finally bringing them to light.
An international team of archaeologists has uncovered 260 previously undocumented structures deep in the Eastern Desert, the corridor of the Sahara wedged between the Nile River and the Red Sea in eastern Sudan. They found them not by trekking through the brutal terrain of endless dunes, but by searching through vast troves of satellite imagery.
The structures consist of circular mass graves, some up to 80 meters (262 feet) in diameter, filled with the skeletal remains of people and animals, such as cattle, sheep, and goats. Many are ringed by a low outer wall, with a single individual laid to rest at the very center of the ring.
Since the structures haven’t yet been closely investigated by archaeologists with boots on the ground, precise details, like when they were built, are not immediately obvious. However, thanks to strikingly similar structures excavated over the past century, known as Atbai Enclosure Burials, the researchers believe they were constructed around 4,500 to 6,500 years ago.
Just like the other Atbai Enclosure Burials, the people buried here were likely nomadic pastoralists who herded livestock across the region. It's no coincidence, then, that most of the monuments are located close to ancient watering holes, dried-up riverbeds, and oases.
They were made at a time when the Sahara was undergoing a dramatic shake-up. The Sahara is locked in a cyclic rhythm, swinging between arid desert and lush savanna roughly every 21,000 years. The last of these "Green Sahara" periods was between roughly 15,000 and 5,000 years ago, precisely the era when these monument-builders thrived.
As the green pastures receded and the sands advanced, this culture appears to have vanished. And it wouldn't be the last time this happened. In the Ténéré Desert, another remote corner of the Sahara, another troop of archaeologists have uncovered a deeply mysterious site known as Gobero, consisting of 200 human skeletons, as well as thousands of artifacts. Once again, this site appears to have been abandoned when aridification swept through the Sahara around 5,000 years ago.
The Sahara may look lifeless today, but these sites are proof that it was once a thriving stage for countless human cultures whose stories we are only beginning to recover.
Which is exactly why the researchers are sounding the alarm. The Eastern Desert is currently in the grip of a new gold rush, drawing people, money, and guns deep into the once-empty region. The study found that at least 12 of the ancient structures had already been damaged by mining activity and vandalism. As the lust for gold heats up, the destruction is only set to worsen.
'The biggest El Niño event since the 1870s': 'Super' El Niño is now the most likely scenario by the end of this year — and the humanitarian cost could be huge
A "very strong" El Niño is now the most probable scenario for the October-to-February period.
El Niño is the warmer phase of the natural El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate cycle, a periodic shift in the waters of the tropical Pacific Ocean that supercharges global temperatures, in turn impacting weather patterns and crops worldwide.
Now, in a new ENSO forecast published May 14, NOAA estimates that there's a 65% chance that the upcoming El Niño will be classified as strong or very strong starting in October, potentially placing it among the strongest in recorded history.
What exactly is a ‘super’ El Niño? And what does it mean for you?
A "very strong" El Niño — meaning a 3.6-degree-Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) rise in sea surface temperatures, and unofficially called a "super" El Niño — is now the most probable scenario for the October-to-February period.

A "very strong" El Niño could wreak havoc
El Niño events occur every two to seven years, when shifts in wind and current patterns in the tropical Pacific Ocean cause sea surface temperatures to rise 0.9 F (0.5 C) above historical averages, resulting in profound knock-on effects on the global climate. The world is rapidly exiting the neutral phase.
The world's most recent El Niño spanned from May 2023 to March 2024 and was partially responsible for 2024 being the hottest year on record. If the upcoming El Niño is strong or very strong, 2027 could surpass the previous record, according to Climate Brief's State of the Climate assessment, published April 21.
In fact, the impending El Niño may itself break records. "Confidence is clearly shifting higher on potentially the biggest El Niño event since the 1870s," Paul Roundy, a professor of atmospheric and environmental sciences at the University at Albany, wrote on X on May 5.
Super El Niño 1877–78: The Deadliest Climate Disaster in Human History 🌊🔥#ElNino1877#ClimateDisaster
If a "super" El Niño does occur, it could rival the strongest on record: a catastrophic 1877 event that spurred the 1876-to-1878 global famine. The famine killed over 50 million people, or 3% of the world's population at the time.
Although the social, political and economic landscapes have changed since the 1877-to-1878 El Niño, the upcoming event could still seriously threaten food, water and economic security around the world, Deepti Singh, head of the Climate Extremes and Impacts Lab at Washington State University, told The Washington Post.
"What is different now is that our atmosphere and oceans are substantially warmer than they were in the 1870s, which means the associated extremes could be more extreme," Singh said.
More recent examples demonstrate the threat of strong and very strong El Niño phases. For example, an El Niño in 1997 to 1998 led to an estimated global economic loss of $32 billion to $96 billion.
NOAA ENSO forecaster Nathaniel Johnson recently told Live Science that a very strong El Niño would impact fisheries and crops, as well as heighten the risk of wildfires and hurricanes in parts of the world.
"You've got more people that are living in poverty already and if you get a reduction in crop yields because of drought or flooding [from El Niño] then that drives prices even higher," Liz Stephens, a professor of climate risk and resilience at the University of Reading in the U.K., told the BBC. "So we're looking at potentially quite huge humanitarian impacts this year, especially if the crisis in the Middle East continues."
The next NOAA ENSO forecast will arrive June 11.

Record Strong Super El Niño Is Locking In — Major Worldwide Impacts Confirmed
SUPER El Niño is Coming to BURN You! (How Will You Survive?)
Martian chaos created by craters, lava, and water was observed by theEuropean Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express in the Shalbatana Vallis, providing an in-depth look at this fascinating feature of the Red Planet’s terrain.
This channel, close to the Martian equator, the Shalbatana Vallis, stretches between the highland Xanthe Terra and the lowland Chris Panitia, carved by natural processes long ago. Even after two decades, Mars Express continues to provide scientists with stunning new details of the Martian terrain, filling in our understanding of Earth’s planetary neighbor.
This image from the ESA's Mars Express Orbiter shows the beginning of Shalbatana Vallis, and ancient water channel on Mars. It begins in jumbled chaos terrain in Orson Welles crater and extends for 1300 km across the Martian surface.

Mars Express
Since its 2003 launch, Mars Express has been exploring the Red Planet with a suite of eight onboard instruments. Consisting of a lander, Beagle 2, and the Mars Express orbiter, the spacecraft has been especially prolific, mapping the Martian surface color and three dimensions at never-before-achieved resolution over the last two decades.

An earlier Mars Express video, captured in October 2025, observed the channel from beginning to end. Yet, this new image captured by the Mars Express’s High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) focuses more tightly on a northern segment of the 1300-kilometer-long Shalbatana Vallis, providing exquisite, high-resolution detail on this intriguing surface feature.
Forging the Shalbatana Vallis
Scientists believe that, as large amounts of groundwater rose to the surface to flood this equatorial region roughly 3.5 billion years ago, that catastrophe produced the Shalbatana Vallis, cutting a winding path through the rock. The main valley cuts 500 meters deep, yet extends about 10 kilometers wide as it meanders across the Martian surface.
As weathering carved the valley, scientists believe this also filled it in over time. The precise materials that infilled the once-deep valley cannot be pinpointed, yet some clues exist. Researchers believe that a blue-black material in part of the modern channel is volcanic ash strewn about by Martian winds.

Unusual Terrain Features of Mars
Other valleys of Shalbatana Vallis’s type abound in the region, which is home to many marks of local volatility. On one side are the northern lowlands, relatively smooth, while the highlands to the south are heavily cratered from ancient space impacts. It also lies near Chris Planitia, likely an ancient ocean, based on its status as one of the lowest points on the Martian surface and the many outflow channels leading into it.
Often accompanying outflow channels, such as Shalbatana Vallis, are scattered rock mounds and raised blocks known as chaotic terrain. In this instance, a section of chaotic terrain appears in the images near the blue/black portion identified as likely volcanic ash. Such features are likely born in the collapse of the surface ground, as water ice below melts, creating instability. Mars Express has previously captured such features in the areas of Pyrrhae Regio, Iani Chaos, Ariadnes Colles, Aram Chaos, and Hydraotes Chaos.
Remnants of impact craters in the area now lie partially obscured by later burial, long-term wear, and even a covering of material ejected during the initial impact. Volcanic activity has, over time, flooded the regions with lava, smoothing many of these ancient features before cooling and shrinking into wrinkle ridges. Presently, a few isolated portions of the earlier surface still remain, now as hill tops scattered through the channel.
Going forward, with the help of software updates that occurred last year, ESA scientists are expected to keep Mars Express operational through 2034, providing ever more data ahead of any potential crewed landings on the Red Planet.

A battle over UFO transparency has erupted in Washington as 'certain intelligence agencies' have been accused of withholding evidence from the American public.
Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told the Daily Mail there is a 'bottleneck' inside US Central Command where footage of unidentified flying objects is being blocked from reaching officials seeking access to it.
Corbell said some members of Congress are now 'dead set' on forcing the release of the material 'come hell or high water,' with some lawmakers prepared to escalate the fight if agencies continue withholding records.
The growing disclosure battle has now centered on 46 classified military UFO videos that lawmakers recently demanded from the Department of War last month, which have yet to be released.
Eight of those highly anticipated clips appear in Corbell's documentary Sleeping Dog, where viewers are shown brief glimpses of what he described as unresolved UFO encounters collected by the US military.
Corbell stressed the footage shown in the film represents only 'tiny glimpses' of a much larger archive of sensitive material tied to sensitive defense operations and unexplained aerial incidents.
Among the footage referenced by Corbell is what he described as full-color 'satellite footage' and 'full motion video' of mysterious flying objects that he believes Americans 'need to be able to assess' for themselves.
Corbell said the documentary was created not only to reveal pieces of the evidence, but to expose what he called the broader resistance against journalists, whistleblowers and transparency efforts surrounding UFO disclosure.
Congress recently requested 46 UFO videos from the Department of War, and eight of them were leaked to an investigative journalist
The Trump Administration released hundreds of never-before-seen files, videos and images of mysterious craft and witness accounts on May 8.
But whistleblower David Grusch claimed the disclosure effort is already facing resistance from within the intelligence community.
Speaking to FOX News on May 8, Grusch said: 'It has come to my attention, actually, recently as of today, there are some actors within certain intelligence agencies, to include DIA and CIA specifically, that are actually blocking some of the president's, a Presidentially appointed team in getting access and getting control of some of these historical records.'
The allegations fueled outrage among disclosure advocates, including Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison, who warned Wednesday on X: 'More is still classified, and I've seen some of it. If the administration doesn't release it, I will, under Speech or Debate.'
While the release marked the first large-scale UFO information dump under a sitting president, Burlison and other advocates argued the material made public was merely 'low-hanging fruit' compared to what they believe remains hidden.
Corbell told the Daily Mail the footage featured in Sleeping Dog, available on Apple TV and Amazon's Prime Video, was never intended to function as a public 'data dump,' but rather to document the process journalists go through while assessing highly sensitive material provided by confidential sources.
'All you're seeing in the movie is me reviewing some of George [Knapp's] and my confidential information that we're assessing,' he told the Daily Mail. 'Some of what's flashed on screen are glimpses from those 46.' Knapp works with Corbell to investigate UFO materials and speak with whistleblowers.
He pushed back against online criticism, claiming it was hypocritical for some of the videos to appear in a paid documentary while lawmakers continue demanding their official release.
Shots of the videos are shown in Jeremy Crobell's Sleep Dog documentary
Corbell stressed the footage shown in the film represents only 'tiny glimpses' of a much larger archive of sensitive material tied to sensitive defense operations and unexplained aerial incidents
Corbell argued the responsibility for releasing the material lies with the government agencies that collected and classified the footage, not journalists attempting to protect whistleblowers and sources.
'The government filmed it. The government classified it. The government promised transparency,' he said. 'That debt is owed by them. Not me.'
He added that publicly releasing sensitive footage without proper protections could expose individuals who 'risked life and career' to provide information about the alleged encounters.
Michael Lazovsky, director of Sleeping Dog, told the Daily Mail: 'The whole point of the documentary was to include these moments to pressure and try to provoke the government to release the full raw data of these videos.
'It takes a huge toll on [Corbell and Knapp], it puts a target on their backs.'
One clip featured in the documentary titled 'ANAMORPHIS UAP' appears to show a shapeshifting, blob-like object billowing and undulating through the sky as it is tracked by military radar.

Another video shows four log-shaped objects seemingly writhing and squirming across the night sky at high speed with no visible means of propulsion.
Additional footage labeled 'FORMATION UAP' captures three glowing lights flying in a triangular pattern while crossing over one another in coordinated movements, again without any apparent heat signature or detectable propulsion system.
That video was released by Corbell on January 30, 2026 and quickly became one of the most widely discussed UAP clips online.
When asked if he believes the 46 videos will be released, Corbell said, 'With all optimism, yes.'
'Congress is behind it. The President put out a powerful statement that doesn’t just mention UFO videos; he mentions aliens and extraterrestrial life,' Corbell added.
'If people are going to follow the President’s orders, then these 46 videos are low-hanging fruit. It’s just the beginning. It’s the floor, not the ceiling.'
Compilation of videos from the recent release of the UFO files
What They Don't Want You To See: Oregon UFO Photos
Bombshell FBI documents have laid bare a series of blood-curdling warnings from extraterrestrials who are claimed to view the human race as the "lowest form" of life in the universe. The revelations come as part of a massive UFO data dump ordered by the Trump administration, sparking excitement among truth-seekers and paranormal investigators.
The release features a mountain of previously classified memos, witness testimonies and eerie footage of reported UFO sightings. One particularly haunting FBI memo recounts a 1955 interrogation involving the Detroit Flying Saucer Club.
According to the files, club member Randall Cox told federal agents that aliens had been beaming messages to Earth with a grim assessment of our species.
One FBI memo, dated January 12, 1955, detailed claims from members of the Detroit Flying Saucer Club
The memo says the beings claimed every other planet in the galaxy had successfully "conquered outer space," leaving Earth trailing behind in the cosmic race. Even more insulting, Cox informed investigators that these entities viewed humans as the "lowest form of universal existence."
The documents also suggest the celestial visitors were reportedly prepping the public for a full-scale arrival. It states: "He feels the purpose of contacts with Earth is limited at this time to preparing people to receive landings from outer space."
The FBI was concerned enough to investigate whether the bizarre reports posed a threat to national security. However, the documents describe the saucers as being "friendly to the US."
Club member Randall Cox told agents the group had received multiple messages from extraterrestrials
The file also details a meeting between Cox and agents inside an FBI vehicle on January 11, 1955. Cox claimed a technician at Sandia Air Force Base, John Fry, had successfully piloted a saucer from New Mexico to New York City in a mind-blowing 30 minutes.
While Cox was a prominent figure in the UFO community, his associate John Hoffman, a WWII veteran, was viewed more sceptically by the Bureau. Agents noted Hoffman had been "carried beyond the realm of scientific fact into that of possible scientific fiction."
The FBI noted a striking similarity between Cox's claims and those of Dorothy Martin, a notorious 1950s cult leader. Martin claimed she was in telepathic contact with "the Guardians," who warned that a large flood would wipe out the Earth on December 21, 1954.
The UFO files contain a range of documents, pictures and videos(Image: DEPARTMENT OF WAR)
When the world didn't end, Martin claimed the planet had been spared due to her followers' "light and faith." The incident remains a textbook case for psychologists studying cognitive dissonance, the refusal to let go of a belief even when proven wrong.
The latest declassification was spearheaded by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth under the direction of Donald Trump. Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the move, taking a swipe at the "Deep State" for previously denying the files existed.
Burchett said: "The 1st drop will be big, but in comparison to what is coming they will be a drop in the bucket. I would say 'Holy Crap' is coming." Hegseth promised "unprecedented transparency" moving forward, hinting that this terrifying look into the FBI's X-Files is only the beginning.

‘Aliens In Space Suits & Helmets’: MOST SHOCKING FBI Memo Exposes ‘4-Foot-Tall’ UFO Crew | Watch
EXCLUSIVE - I'm a pastor who attended a secret UFO disclosure meeting. We saw images of 'translucent beings' that chilled me to the bone... the files could fulfil a dark biblical prophecy
By CHRIS MELORE, DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
Several pastors who claim they were part of secret meetings to prepare for the disclosure of UFO information have come forward to warn that the long-anticipated files may fulfill a dark biblical prophecy.
The Trump administration released the first batch of documents on May 8, revealing never-before-seen images and videos of strange craft and reports of alleged alien encounters. More are set to be disclosed in the coming weeks.
Pastor Joseph Zupetz and evangelist Tony Merkel told the Daily Mail they were invited to a private meeting in remote Tennessee in February, where intelligence insiders and former military personnel discussed the idea that the unidentified objects could be 'interdimensional beings' or advanced technology.
'At the meeting, I was shown images from one of the presenters' devices of entities that were translucent, standing in a wooded environment, with long arms and legs,' Zupetz said.
He added that the organizers repeatedly compared the coming disclosure to the biblical 'Great Deception,' an end-times prophecy some Christians believe signals a powerful spiritual deception before the return of Jesus Christ.
Until now, the US government has maintained that most reports of mysterious phenomena in the sky have been caused by explainable things, including balloons, drones and even bird sightings.
However, multiple Trump-aligned officials have publicly stated they view many sightings of unexplained phenomenon as supernatural or demonic encounters, rather than UFOs.
Vice President JD Vance, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna and former Trump ally and friend Tucker Carlson have tied the appearances of strange craft to passages from Scripture.

Zupetz said he and Merkel were among six Christian influencers invited to the meeting, which was hosted at an Airbnb in the mountains of Tennessee. He said the organizers were 'former military personnel now working within groups that investigate non-human intelligence issues involving UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) and reverse-engineered craft.'
Merkel added that these 'operators,' who were not officially part of the US government, had held multiple meetings in recent months, claiming to pastors that the information about to be released would attempt to discredit the teachings of Christianity as part of the Great Deception.
The group provided details on advanced human technology, incidents of people being taken aboard UFO-like craft and beings of light described as 'fallen angels' - which were all expected to be included in upcoming UFO files.
Along with images of the mysterious 'translucent' beings, Zupetz revealed that he personally asked the experts about sightings of 'reptilian' creatures, which were reportedly discussed at a previous meeting with other pastors.
'I asked at the end of the presentation, while we were preparing to leave, if there was any validity to all the people talking about reptilians,' Zupetz told the Daily Mail.
'This person told me that, based on their sources and people they speak with, some in the circles believe this to be true, but had nothing else to share with me on the topic.'
Both men believed that the entities allegedly being revealed in the forthcoming files were directly tied to the biblical warnings of the end times, suggesting that they were demonic in origin, rather than aliens from another world.
'The great lie in this is that these interdimensional entities - the actual UFOs and every kind of supposed alien - are not benevolent,' Zupetz claimed, adding that there was a growing belief amongst Christians that these beings were 'interdimensional evil spirits, fallen angels or demons.'

Zupetz and Merkel said they are now warning other religious leaders that the impending images depicting angelic creatures and UFOs, which mirror scenes from the Bible, may push Christians to question how the universe was created and even lose faith in the religion.
Despite the Pentagon leading the interagency effort to release all UFO files to the public, the Department of War's office in charge of investigating UFOs, known as AARO, has claimed that the majority of strange images and videos are the result of misidentification by witnesses and video compression glitches.
However, President Trump has claimed that data the American people would find 'very interesting' would be coming soon, noting that US fighter pilots have told him they were eyewitnesses to non-human craft flying by their jets.
The operators hosting these secret meetings told a different story from the president's, claiming that up to 90 percent of the UFOs people have seen in the sky were actually 'terrestrial' - meaning they were advanced aircraft built by human hands.
'They stated that the government is being told a lie, the government believes the lie and will disclose it as reality,' Zupetz claimed.
'The lie being put forward, according to the hosts, is that as disclosure continues, humanity will be confronted with a narrative about beings coming to raise humanity to a higher consciousness.'
Zupetz and Merkel went further, saying the disclosure had already been set up to paint Christians as the 'bad guys' who were holding humanity back. They claimed that those sharing the UFO files are prepared to claim Christians were close to the truth but ultimately mistaken.

As for the true origin of unexplained UFOs or aliens, the religious leaders described them as 'fallen angel technology,' citing biblical references in the Book of Enoch.
The Book of Enoch is said to expand on certain portions of the Bible. Specifically, it mentions 'sons of God' taking human wives and producing a long-lost race of giants known as the Nephilim.
Approximately 200 of these angels, also called Watchers, were said to have also taught humans about forbidden knowledge, such as weapon-making, sorcery and astrology, causing God to punish the fallen angels and wipe away their creations in the Bible's Great Flood.
'I personally believe that what we're dealing with when it comes to the UAP-UFO phenomenon is the advanced staging of the teaching man how to do things they were never meant to know how to do,' Merkel said.
'What unfolded in the book of Enoch was the beginning stages of what we might be experiencing today with very advanced technology, because mankind has now gotten to the point where they're able to do such things.'
Merkel, who had been in contact with the Christian operators hosting the meetings for more than a year, added that the organizers of their meeting said the timetable for the disclosure is 'urgent,' with the most shocking revelations potentially coming by July 8 – the anniversary of the Roswell UFO crash.
'There is going to be disclosure coming, there is going to be a narrative spun, there is going to be, there's going to be such great intel and information handed over, over time, they believe, that it could lead people astray,' Merkel said.
'Their whole point is to tell people this is happening whether you like it or not, and you need to be prepared for it.'
'We don't know if this is the Great Deception, but if this is the Great Deception, then it's going to be so strong that people who even are professing Christians and believe in Jesus could be led astray.'
The Mars Express probe has photographed an ancient valley on Mars once carved out by a catastrophic flood. The images reveal several geological processes that have shaped the planet’s surface over billions of years.

A valley as long as the entire length of Ukraine from west to east
Shalbatana Vallis is located near the Martian equator and stretches 1,300 km from west to east—roughly the length of Ukraine. The main channel, about 10 km wide and 500 meters deep, formed approximately 3.5 billion years ago when massive amounts of underground water burst to the surface and rapidly carved through the rock.
Over time, the valley became shallower due to materials that gradually settled on its floor. These include a distinct dark layer of volcanic ash that winds had carried across the Martian surface. The exact composition of the deposits has not yet been determined.
Rugged terrain and craters
Next to the valley, you can see what is known as a chaotic landscape. It consists of a jumble of boulders and mounds that formed when the underground ice began to melt and the surface above it subsided.
Additional landforms include numerous meteorite craters in various states of preservation, solidified lava fields with characteristic wrinkled ridges, as well as isolated flat mesa-like hills—remnants of older surfaces.

The images were taken by the HRSC (High-Resolution Stereo Camera), one of the eight scientific instruments on board Mars Express.
The ESA probe has been in Mars orbit since 2003 and has been mapping the planet’s surface in high resolution, in color and in 3D, for over two decades.
