NASA's probe circling the sun recently captured a mysterious object soaring by.

An image from the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), taken on October 3, shows the sun releasing coronal streamers, bright, elongated, cusp-like structures in its outer atmosphere.

However, a white, cylinder-shaped object also appears on the right side of the frame, which a UFO researcher hailed as a 'mothership.'

Scott C Waring claimed the alien craft measured about 2.5 miles across and half a mile wide. 

'A ship that large could carry tens of thousands of passengers across the universe in no time,' Waring shared on his site UFO Sightings Daily.

'Also, the ship is using a tractor beam to safely pull three different smaller orb craft with it, which is visible in the photo after I put it into negative format view.'

However, NASA has maintained that it has no evidence of UFOs or extraterrestrial life. 

While the space agency has not acknowledged the object in the image, Waring said the it 'is something NASA will never talk about.'

Something that is 100 percent proof that aliens pass through our own solar system daily, while the public is kept in the dark of such things existing,' he continued in the blog post on UFO Sightings Daily.

Waring claimed that the mothership was also traveling 'near the speed of light.'

'Also the ship is using a tractor beam to safely pull three different smaller orb craft with it, which is visible in the photo after I put it into negative format view,' he added.

The UFO researcher compared the size of the 'UFO' to that of 3I/ATLAS, the mysterious interstellar visitor that captivated the world in 2025.

The object is believed to be up to 3.5 miles long, but Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who tracked the 3I/ATLAS extensively, said it 'could be six miles or larger.' 

The object was first identified in July 2025 by the ATLAS telescope network, which looks for objects that might hit Earth.

Loeb considers the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS most likely a natural comet, though he has kept open the possibility of artificial or technological origins due to several unusual features.

The UFO researcher compared the size of the 'UFO' to that of 3I/ATLAS, the mysterious interstellar visitor that captivated the world in 2025 

Waring said: 'The size and dimensions are similar to comet Atlas which is also a spaceship...but that was suppose to be gone last year...so mark that possibility off, unless it's passing through again as spaceships often change directions and routes.' 

While 3I/ATLAS is billions of miles from Earth, Loeb recently published a report suggesting our Solar System may be far more crowded with interstellar objects, chunks of rock or ice from other star systems, than anyone realized.

He presented new data and calculations in February that indicated roughly 35 million meter-scale interstellar objects are embedded inside Earth's orbit.

This conclusion comes from the detection of two interstellar meteor candidates, CNEOS-22 and CNEOS-25, recorded in 2022 over the Pacific and in 2025 over the Barents Sea in the Arctic.

The objects were small, about six feet and four feet across, but traveling fast enough to exceed the Solar System's escape velocity.

Loeb and his team estimated that such meteors collide with Earth about once every three years, implying a dense population of similar objects around the Sun.

Each meter-scale object could carry roughly three million tons of material, totaling about 220 billion tons within Earth's orbit.

Larger interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS are far rarer, but their greater mass makes their total contribution similar, suggesting smaller objects may be fragments of bigger bodies.

Loeb said studying this population could reveal how material moves between star systems.

This idea builds on discoveries like the famous 'Oumuamua and comet Borisov, plus newer findings about massive interstellar objects, implying that space is filled with 'interstellar trash' drifting between stars.

The first known interstellar visitor, the object 'Oumuamua, was detected on October 19, 2017, as it passed through the inner Solar System.

Two years later, on August 30, 2019, comet Borisov became the second confirmed interstellar object, traveling on a hyperbolic path that marked it as a visitor from another star system.

With improved observations, including next-generation telescopes and potential space interceptors, scientists could better measure interstellar visitors' properties, origins, and trajectories.

NASA astronaut cites biblical warning as proof that UFOs are 'demonic' 

• READ MORE: I attended a secret UFO meeting preparing Christians for 'the truth' and saw shape-shifting beings. Trump's files hide a clue to where these 'aliens' come from

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

A former NASA astronaut has issued a chilling claim that UFOs are demonic beings rather than extraterrestrials, citing a warning in the Bible as proof.

Charles Duke, who served as lunar module pilot on Apollo 16 in 1972, shared his belief with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), pointing to 2 Corinthians 11:14 in the Bible. 

'The Lord says what we're seeing is real, but the devil can appear as an angel of light, the Bible says,' Duke said. 

He claimed UFOs were drawing people away from their faith and encouraging them to pursue supposed alien beings. 'UFOs are trying to turn us away from the truth,' he said. 'They're demonic.'

Duke, 91, said he had long held this belief, recalling a moment when he prayed to God for a sign to confirm his suspicions.

He asked for something specific: that a close friend, a businessman who never discussed such topics, would bring up UFOs at breakfast the following morning.

According to Duke, that is exactly what happened. 'Charlie, come on over. I want to start talking to you about UFOs,' he recalled his friend saying.

Duke interpreted the exchange as an answer to his prayer, reinforcing his belief that the phenomena have a demonic origin.

Charles Duke, who served as lunar module pilot on Apollo 16 in 1972, discussed his belief about UFOs, saying they are demonic and are leading people away from Christianity

Duke’s comments echo 2 Corinthians 11:14, which says: 'And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.'

In the surrounding passage, the Apostle Paul warns believers about false apostles and deceitful workers who present themselves as representatives of Christ.

Duke appeared to apply that warning about deceptive appearances to UFOs, suggesting that supposed extraterrestrial visitors could conceal a demonic identity and draw people away from their faith.

Religious interpretations of UFOs have also been voiced by Vice President JD Vance and conservative commentator Tucker Carlson.

Vance has said he believes in supernatural phenomena and suggested that a powerful being that harms humans could be understood as a demon, while one that helps them might be seen as an angel.

He argued that such beings could appear indistinguishable from technologically advanced extraterrestrials to a human observer.

Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2024, Carlson said: 'They're from here, and they've been here for thousands of years, whatever they are.'

'And it's pretty clear to me that they're "spiritual entities,"' he continued, 'whatever that means.'

Charles Duke cited the verse that says the devil can appear as an angel of light, which he interprets as being UFOs seen in the skies

Apollo 16 was NASA's 10th crewed Apollo mission and the fifth human landing on the moon, launching on April 16, 1972, and returning on April 27, 1972. Above is Duke saluting the flag on the moon

While the belief that UFOs are demonic is gaining traction, Father Lee Taylor, who leads three churches in North Wales, told the Daily Mail that several passages of Scripture suggest the mysterious objects in our skies are better understood as non-human intelligence than demonic beings.

He pointed to Genesis' description of humanity as God's supreme creation on Earth, Ezekiel's vision of the 'wheel within a wheel,' and Jesus' statement in John 14:2 that 'in my Father's house are many rooms.'

Taylor said the Church should begin examining those passages now, arguing that Christians need to prepare theologically for the possibility of non-human intelligence before any official confirmation sparks confusion or fear.

He believes the discovery of intelligent life beyond Earth would not undermine Christianity, but instead expand humanity's understanding of God's creation.

'A bigger universe, or the discovery of a bigger universe, doesn't make God smaller,' Taylor, who has been ordained for 15 years, said. 'It just makes creation bigger.'

'I don't think it's a challenge to faith. I think it's a challenge to the limits of our theological imagination,' he added. 'I think a larger universe demands a larger theology.'

He also urged fellow Christians to reconsider the belief that UFOs are demonic, warning that it encourages people to respond with fear rather than to approach the phenomenon with an open mind. 

'I don't think it's the most helpful framework for discussing an unknown phenomenon. It can encourage people to project fear or certainty onto something we don't yet understand,' Taylor said.

He argued that, if intelligent life exists beyond Earth, 'there's no reason to assume that every other form of intelligence would fit neatly into categories of absolute good or absolute evil.' Instead, he believes such beings would likely reflect the same diversity already found among humanity.

Segmented UFO Seen On Live Cam Over Rhodes International Airport, Greece, Oct 12, 2026, UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 12, 2026

If you check quickly the link above...it might still be on the main screen. Good luck.

 

I was looking at live cam feeds to search for UFOs. Its a great tool for being everywhere at once and keeping an eye out for the unexpected. I found this on the main screen of the cam...a still shot of a metallic arm UFO in the sky over the airport in Greece. UFO are well known for visiting airports and causing air traffic disturbances to incoming and leaving flights...which always get grounded till the air is clear of the object. Maybe you remember the O'hare Airport UFO back in Nov 7, 2006 when a metallic disk was seen over the airport...hovering in place for five minutes till eyewitnesses say they saw it shoot straight up at incredible speed, breaking through the cloud ceiling above it and making a hole visible for over 15 minutes.

 

When I asked Google ai to focus it...I didn't say what it was or what I thought it was, I just asked it simply to focus the object in the photo. And it did! I do have to say...the focused version is 100% an alien craft. 

 

Greece is also very close to a well known alien base below Rocca Pia, Italy that extends miles out below the ocean...so says the 30 year contact case call The Friendship Case. The base is called the W56.

Extraordinary story of how man's beloved 'UFO' home landed in California... and why it's up for sale

By ALYSSA GUZMAN, US NEWS REPORTER

A California home shaped like a UFO has hit the market for $1.5million after an aging architect spent years restoring it to its glory. 

The Donaldson Futuro was deemed an historic structure in January 2021. Now the spherical-shaped yellow home with its distinctive bubble windows has hit the market for $1,495,000. 

The property is owned by Milford Wayne Donaldson, an architect who served on President Barack Obama's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. 

The 83-year-old and his wife, Laurie, have owned the home since the 1970s, when Donaldson heard the Futuro was in disrepair and sitting behind the San Diego Design Center.

When the design center was sold, he told The Wall Street Journal, the building's new owners had started to demolish the Futuro. Donaldson could not stand to watch the artwork be destroyed, so he bought it and stored it in a San Diego boatyard that his friend owned, he said.

Donaldson, who loved the Futuro since he was a kid, does not recall what he paid for it. 

In 2004, he would buy a half-acre of land in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild for $70,000. This would become the new home for the plastic structure, which was designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen in the late 1960s, WSJ reported. 

He chose the location because it was similar to the one to that of the first Futuro in Finland. It is estimated that 100 Futuros were made. It is believed that around 50 to 60 have survived. 

The Donaldson Futuro in the San Jacinto Mountains has hit the market for $1,495,000

The UFO-shaped home has a 1960s feel and a great view of the mountains through its bubble windows 

The home is 26 feet in diameter and had to be transported to the location via a wide-load truck and be escorted by California Highway Patrol 

Moving such a structure proved difficult. The home is 26 feet in diameter. 

It had to be shrink-wrapped and escorted by the California Highway Patrol on a wide-load truck in December 2004. 

'When we finally got up there, it was like we were the Pied Piper. We had about 40 people in cars behind us,' Donaldson told WSJ.  

Once it actually reached the mountains, a crane had to hoist the flying saucer up above the tree line. 

From there, the Donaldsons renovated the inside of the home in a 1960s style, complete with popcorn ceiling and linoleum floors. 

The couple, who primarily live eight hours away in Sacramento, enjoyed the retreat for roughly one week a month. 

But now that Donaldson is aging, he's ready to offload the home so his wife, 66, does not get stuck having to sell it once he has died, he told WSJ. 

'It’s best to try to find a buyer now [who] really appreciates it…. And doesn’t just do an Airbnb or something,' he told the outlet. 

Milford Wayne Donaldson, 83, and his wife, Laurie, bought the home in the late 1970s 

In 2004, they moved it to its current location after repairing the outside 

Donaldson now wants to sell the home so his 66-year-old wife is not stuck selling it after he dies

The home was designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen in the late 1960s

Listing agent Tim McTavish thinks the home will attract buyers who love architecture or those from museums or foundations. 

There is another Futuro house in California, near Joshua Tree. The home is available on Airbnb and it is thought to be the only Futuro house in the US that can be rented out for the night.

When Suuronen designed the homes in 1968, he originally intended them to be used as portable ski chalets. 

They had 520sq ft of inside space and boasted a kitchen, a bathroom and a fireplace, while the front door took the form of an electric hatch.  

The ones located in the US were made under contract with a Philadelphia company, WSJ reported.  

Only a few Futuros have sold over the years, with most going for $50,000 to $100,000. 

However, Donaldson believes his home is worth more, as it is in a livable condition.

What the US Government Has Actually Said About UAPs: A Timeline (2020–2026)

Few subjects attract as much confident nonsense as UFOs. Some people say the government has already admitted aliens are real. Others say officials have said nothing at all. Neither is true, and the actual record is stranger and more interesting.

I went back through the primary documents: press statements, congressional hearings, intelligence assessments and the Pentagon’s own reports. This article lays out what officials said, in what order, and what they pointedly did not say. Every claim below links to the original source wherever one is publicly available.

The Short Version

In more than six years of official statements, the US government has said these things:

• Some military encounters with unidentified objects are real and still unexplained.
• Many of them probably have ordinary explanations once enough data exists.
• No official government analysis has concluded that any of them are of extraterrestrial origin.

The 2026 file releases haven’t changed that last point. They have changed how much raw material the public can inspect.

The Navy Videos That Started the Modern Era

The modern chapter starts with three short clips known as FLIR1, Gimbal and GoFast. Navy aircrews recorded them with infrared targeting pods, one in November 2004 and two in January 2015. They circulated for years after leaks in 2007 and 2017, and the New York Times helped bring them to a wide audience.

The government’s first real move came on April 27, 2020. The Department of Defense formally authorized release of the three videos. The stated reason was to clear up public confusion over whether the footage was real. The statement also said the phenomena in them “remain characterized as ‘unidentified.’”

People often skip over what that wording does and doesn’t mean. “Unidentified” is a label for the state of the analysis. It is not a claim about what the objects are. The Pentagon confirmed the footage was authentic Navy material and said nothing about the origin of the objects.

The story didn’t stop there. In February 2025, AARO published an analysis of GoFast. Its conclusion, as summarized by The Black Vault, was that the object was at around 13,000 feet, not skimming the ocean as viewers assumed. AARO said with high confidence that it did not move at anomalous speeds. The office also noted a limitation: the original file and metadata were lost, so it worked from a compressed copy. Independent analysts such as Mick West had argued for years that the object was a balloon. For Gimbal, I could not find a comparable AARO resolution report, so treat that one as open.

From Task Force to Office: How AARO Came to Exist

Behind the videos was a quiet bureaucratic evolution. In 2020 the Pentagon set up the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. Congress then asked for an unclassified assessment, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence delivered a nine-page Preliminary Assessment on June 25, 2021.

That document is worth reading in full because it is so restrained. It looked at 144 reports from US government sources between 2004 and 2021, 80 of which involved more than one sensor. It could explain only one of them with high confidence. The rest stayed unexplained, partly because, in the report’s words, the quality of the data was too limited to draw firm conclusions. It sorted possible explanations into broad buckets: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, US government or industry programs, foreign adversary systems, and “other.” It did not mention aliens.

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, was created in 2022 to take over the work, and Congress later wrote its mandate into law through the fiscal year 2023 defense authorization act. Its job is to collect and analyze reports across the military and intelligence community and to flag anything that could threaten flight safety or national security.

Two AARO products matter most.

1. The Historical Record Report, Volume 1 (March 2024). At 63 pages, it reviewed US government UAP-related activity from 1945 through October 2023 and assessed claims from roughly 30 interviewees. Its headline findings, available in the report itself on aaro.mil: no verifiable evidence that any UAP sighting represented extraterrestrial activity, and no verifiable evidence that the government or private companies ever had access to extraterrestrial technology or reverse-engineered it. The Pentagon’s own summary statement said the same. Critics, including some UAP journalists, challenged factual details in the report, so it is best read as the Pentagon’s position, not the last word.
2. The Fiscal Year 2025 Consolidated Annual Report (July 2026). This is the newest statistical picture. According to DefenseScoop’s coverage, AARO received 319 reports in the period and resolved 114 of them. The explanations were ordinary: balloons, birds, satellites, aircraft and drones, plus one rocket launch and, remarkably, one jet pack. The office again said that none of its resolved cases indicate advanced foreign capabilities or breakthrough technology. That leaves 200-odd cases unresolved, and AARO’s usual explanation is insufficient data, not inexplicability. You can browse the office’s own releases on its UAP Records page.

What Congress Has Done, and Said

Congress has pushed this topic harder than almost any other part of the government, often across party lines.

1. May 17, 2022. A House Intelligence subcommittee held what was described as the first public congressional UFO hearing in more than 50 years. Pentagon officials Ronald Moultrie and Scott Bray testified. As CBS News reported, Bray said the count of reports had grown to roughly 400. He also showed a video and said he had no explanation for that particular object. The tone from officials was cautious: reporting stigma was falling, and some cases posed a flight safety problem.
2. July 26, 2023. A House Oversight subcommittee heard from former intelligence officer David Grusch, retired Navy Commander David Fravor and former Navy pilot Ryan Graves. Grusch made sensational secondhand claims about a crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program. He said he had not personally seen UAP himself. His claims were made under oath, but they were testimony based on what others told him, not documentation. AARO’s 2024 report later said it found no evidence supporting such a program. Rep. Tim Burchett’s office posted a summary of the hearing.
3. November 13, 2024. A joint Oversight subcommittee hearing titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth” followed, with witnesses announced here, including retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet.
4. September 9, 2025. The House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, chaired by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, held a hearing called “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection.” Witnesses included Navy veteran Alexandro Wiggins and Air Force veterans Jeffrey Nuccetelli and Dylan Borland. The committee’s wrap-up shows the focus: AARO’s transparency and protection for people who come forward.
5. March 31, 2026. The task force sent AARO a formal letter requesting a list of specific UAP videos, with an April 14 deadline. Treat this as a sign of the relationship between Capitol Hill and the Pentagon: lawmakers asking for raw footage, not summaries.

The 2026 Turn: PURSUE and WAR.GOV/UFO

On May 8, 2026, the Department of War launched the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, abbreviated PURSUE. Its announcement described a joint release of previously unseen UAP files with participation from other agencies, including the FBI and NASA, hosted on a dedicated site, WAR.GOV/UFO. A second release followed on May 22. A third, a fourth and a fifth have come out since, and press reports suggest at least one more in September. The department says files will keep coming on a rolling basis.

The material is a mixed bag: infrared sensor clips, historical documents and, in at least one release, NASA crew audio. A few items are recent. One Army sensor video, for example, was captured in 2026 with no written description from the reporter. For those who want to see the material directly, the department’s own page is the place to start.

What the releases do not contain is a conclusion. They are source material, not findings. Even as the files go public, AARO’s formal position has not moved from its 2024 and 2026 reports.

The Timeline at a Glance

How to Read Government UAP Statements Without Getting Fooled

A few habits help when you meet the next viral claim.

1. Separate “unidentified” from “unexplained by physics.” Officials use “unidentified” to mean the data was too thin to say. A blurry infrared clip from a moving aircraft often can’t support a firm answer, and that is not the same as a mystery.-
2. Check whether a claim is testimony or documentation. Sworn testimony is serious, but it is not evidence by itself. The Grusch hearing is the clearest example. Ask whether the person saw something, was told something, or can point to a record.
3. Watch for date confusion. AARO’s FY2025 report covers a period ending in May 2025 even though it was published in July 2026. Statistics always lag.
4. Look at the language of absence. The 2024 report says AARO found “no verifiable evidence.” That is a statement about what the office found, which critics argue is limited by what it was allowed to see. Supporters say it reflects a thorough search. Both readings are legitimate, and anyone writing about this should say so.
5. Prefer the primary document. Press summaries, including this article, are second-hand. The PDFs and press releases linked above are short enough to read yourself.

What We Still Don’t Know

Plenty of questions remain open. Hundreds of cases are unresolved because of limited data. Congress and the Pentagon disagree about how transparent AARO has been. The released files, valuable as they are, are a curated slice of a much larger archive, and the public can’t yet judge what was withheld or why. A second volume of the historical report was promised, and I could not confirm in the sources I checked that it has been published.

So here is the plain-English bottom line. The US government has acknowledged that unidentified objects exist in military airspace and that some remain unresolved. It has said repeatedly, in official reports, that it has no verifiable evidence they are extraterrestrial. It has also begun publishing raw material at a pace not seen before, and that is the real story of 2026. The most useful thing any reader can do is open the files and check.

• Sources are linked inline. This article reflects public information available as of October 11, 2026, and the situation is changing quickly, so check WAR.GOV/UFO and AARO’s records page for newer releases.

NASA chief says all UAP data released; Coulthart disputes claim

Overview

A dispute over the completeness of publicly available UAP records has emerged between NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and journalist Ross Coulthart. In a NewsNation interview with Nancy Loo, Isaacman said NASA had released all of the UAP data available to the agency. Coulthart challenged that statement during the latest episode of Reality Check, arguing that significant records from earlier human-spaceflight programs remain inaccessible or have not been fully published.

The disagreement centers on what qualifies as “UAP data” and which records fall within NASA’s responsibility. NASA has increasingly focused on the scientific study of unidentified anomalous phenomena, while Coulthart contends that historical material held by NASA or associated government agencies should also be examined and disclosed. The competing positions highlight continuing uncertainty over the scope of government transparency on UAP-related information.

Records Under Dispute

According to the NewsNation report, Coulthart pointed specifically to records connected with the Apollo, Gemini and Skylab programs. He said those archives contain material that has not yet been released in full, challenging the premise that NASA has made all relevant data public. The report does not establish whether the disputed records contain evidence of unexplained objects, or whether they are simply archival materials that have not been reviewed, digitized or cleared for public release.

Coulthart also addressed the Apollo 17 “blue dots” film, which remains under review by the Pentagon and NASA. The imagery has attracted attention among UAP researchers, but its meaning remains unresolved. No conclusion was presented in the report that the objects shown are extraterrestrial or otherwise anomalous. The continued review illustrates the broader difficulty of distinguishing genuine unknowns from camera artifacts, reflections, processing issues or other conventional explanations.

Other Claims Examined

The episode also examined a new claim by Jake Barber involving a cylindrical “mothership” that allegedly released smaller, egg-shaped craft. Coulthart compared the account with reports from the well-known 1976 Tehran incident, in which Iranian military pilots reported encounters with unusual objects. The comparison is presented as part of Coulthart’s analysis, not as confirmation that the modern claim and the historical case describe the same phenomenon.

NewsNation’s program additionally discussed a Defense Intelligence Agency announcement that it had located missing files. The source material does not specify the precise contents of those files or indicate whether their recovery changes the government’s public understanding of UAP. Their mention nevertheless underscores a recurring issue in UAP reporting: records can be dispersed across agencies, classified, improperly cataloged or difficult for outside researchers to access.

Artificial Intelligence and UAP Research

Coulthart and co-host Meagan Medick also considered whether artificial intelligence could help analyze the UAP phenomenon. One topic was research by Dr. Beatrice Villarroel involving possible transient objects in geostationary orbit. The discussion raised the prospect of using automated systems to monitor large volumes of astronomical and sensor data for patterns that human investigators might miss.

The report further considered whether an autonomous monitoring system could be observing Earth. That idea remains speculative, and no evidence was presented establishing that such a system exists. More broadly, AI could assist with categorizing observations, comparing flight and satellite data, and identifying recurring anomalies, but it cannot by itself determine the origin of an unexplained sighting. Independent verification, reliable sensor records and transparent methodologies remain essential to evaluating UAP claims.

Why the Dispute Matters

The disagreement between Isaacman and Coulthart reflects a larger divide over transparency, archival access and the definition of UAP evidence. NASA’s position, as reported by NewsNation, is that its available UAP data has been released. Coulthart’s counterargument is that older space-program records still warrant disclosure and examination. Until the specific records are identified, reviewed and made available for independent assessment, the competing claims cannot be conclusively resolved.

The Reality Check episode therefore presents an ongoing debate rather than a settled finding. Reports involving the Apollo 17 film, recovered government files and alleged spacecraft should be treated as claims requiring documentation and corroboration. For researchers and the public, the central question remains not only what agencies say they have released, but also what records exist, who controls them and whether qualified investigators can independently evaluate the underlying evidence.

IDF continues search for unidentified aerial object detected entering Israel near Lebanese border

Initially, there was concern that the object was a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), but the possibility that it was a powered paraglider could not be ruled out.

By AMIR BOHBOT

IDF soldiers continued searching the area around Arab el-Aramsha in the Western Galilee, near the Lebanese border, on Sunday morning after an unidentified aerial object was detected entering Israeli territory on Saturday night.

The incident began at about 8 p.m. on Saturday, when the area's hostile aircraft infiltration alerts were activated. Searches resumed at first light on Sunday, as the IDF continued investigating the circumstances of the incident and seeking to rule out a potential security threat.

A military source told Walla that IDF detection systems had identified a foreign object entering Israeli territory. Initially, there was concern that the object was a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), but the possibility that it was a powered paraglider could not be ruled out.

According to the source, the searches initially focused on the Arab el-Aramsha area before being expanded to additional locations along the border.

The IDF said its surveillance systems had detected an unidentified aerial object in the area of the Lebanese border and that troops were continuing their searches. No unusual findings have been reported so far, and no special instructions have been issued to civilians.

Following the IDF's situation assessment, Mateh Asher Regional Council head Moshe Davidovich said in a Sunday statement that he had asked the military's Northern Command chief for a full debrief on the situation.

"The regional council’s security teams remain fully prepared and alert, and we are closely monitoring the situation to ensure routine life continues. I will continue to provide updates as necessary," Davidovich said.

Upper Galilee sees hostile aircraft infiltration alerts

Several hostile aircraft infiltration alerts were activated in the Upper Galilee last month.

On September 2, alerts sounded in Dafna, Hagoshrim, Kfar Yuval, and Ma'ayan Baruch, prompting the launch of interceptor missiles. After an initial investigation, the IDF assessed that the alerts were triggered by a false target.

Additional alerts were activated on September 10 in several communities in the area, including Ghajar, Kfar Yuval, and Hagoshrim. In that incident, the IDF later announced the detection was a false alarm.

Steven Spielberg's alien thriller Disclosure Day now officially streaming

From Close Encounters to E.T. to War of the Worlds, Spielberg has explored a spectrum of alien visitors

Steven Spielberg has spent much of his career looking to the stars. From the wonder of Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the childhood adventure of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, few filmmakers have done more to shape the way Hollywood approaches stories about humanity making contact with something beyond our world. Even War of the Worlds, though it was an adaptation, offered a glimpse into Spielberg's fascination with extraterrestrial life.

Now, Spielberg's latest alien movie has finally made the jump from theaters to streaming.

Disclosure Day began streaming exclusively on Peacock on Friday, Oct. 9, giving Spielberg fans a new opportunity to catch the director's latest exploration of alien conspiracies. The sci-fi epic arrived in theaters on June 12, where it earned mostly favorable reviews and became one of the more prominent releases of the summer. The movie earned a respectable $244 million at the global box office.

What is Disclosure Day about?

Disclosure Day follows several people who find themselves caught up in a decades-old conspiracy surrounding humanity's encounters with extraterrestrial life.

Josh O'Connor plays Daniel Kellner, a cybersecurity expert who steals information from the powerful corporation Wardex, revealing an almost 80-year-old government cover-up involving alien visitations. He soon finds himself on the run from Wardex agents determined to recover the information before it can reach the public.

At the same time, Emily Blunt plays Kansas City meteorologist Margaret Fairchild, who becomes entangled in the conspiracy after unknowingly broadcasting a message written in an alien language. Her path eventually crosses with Daniel's, while Colman Domingo's Hugo Wakefield — a former member of the conspiracy and prominent advocate for disclosure — attempts to help expose the truth.

The result is part alien-contact movie, part conspiracy thriller, and part chase movie. Polygon's review described Disclosure Day as something of a return to the Spielberg of the 1980s, combining the pursuit and suspense of movies like E.T. with the otherworldly pull of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The review also praised the film's sense of wonder and its more sentimental side, arguing that it comes surprisingly close to the classic Spielberg formula.

Rather than simply treating extraterrestrials as an invading threat, Disclosure Day is built around the idea that the truth about alien life belongs to everyone — and that learning we're not alone could fundamentally change how humanity sees itself.
