This week's science news was filled with some astonishing — and creepy — displays of technology's accelerating progress.

Top of the bill was a stunning demonstration of Chinese company Unitree Robotics' humanoid robots, which somersaulted, flipped and kicked in a kung fu performance at this year's Lunar New Year festival. The robots' eerily fluid movements were a sight to behold on their own. But compare them with the stiff and cumbersome moves by similar robots just a year earlier, and it's clear how much the tech — has advanced, thanks to better algorithms and cluster control platforms.

Also in China, the world's first megawatt-class flying wind turbine produced enough power to electrify a house for two weeks. And elsewhere, Microsoft made waves with a laser breakthrough that could see terabytes of data stored on ordinary glassware for up to 10,000 years.

Physicists make a Big Bang soup

• Physicists recreated the first millisecond after the Big Bang — and found it was surprisingly soupy

In the most ambitious instance of experimental home cooking we covered this week, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recreated the primordial state of the early universe and found it was more like soup than first thought.

The discovery comes from the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid, which smashed together two heavy atomic nuclei at near light speed to create an extremely short-lived quark-gluon plasma, believed to be the stuff of our universe in the first microseconds following the Big Bang.

The findings could have enormous implications for how our cosmos, and the stuff it's made of, first formed.

Teenager buried with her father's bones

• 5,500 years ago, a teenage girl was buried with her father's bones on her chest, new DNA study reveals

Archaeologists who performed a DNA analysis of skeletons excavated from a Neolithic cemetery in Sweden have uncovered some surprising family burial practices this week, showing that some of Europe's last hunter-gatherers had detailed knowledge of their family lineages.

The society, called the Pitted Ware culture, was a hunter-gatherer community that lived on the western Swedish island of Gotland 5,500 years ago. Evidence of burials and reburials, with graves shared by up to third-degree relatives, suggests people of this culture paid scrupulous attention to their social connections and honored them long after death.

A blind psychic may have predicted President Trump's decision on Thursday to disclose secret records on aliens and a major encounter with UFOs.

Baba Vanga, who allegedly foretold 9/11 and the Covid pandemic, was a Bulgarian mystic and clairvoyant who became a cult figure among conspiracy theorists after several of her eerie pronouncements came true, including some occurring decades after her death.

In the wake of the president's historic order to release all government files, a prediction by Baba Vanga has resurfaced that claimed humans would make first contact with aliens in November 2026.

The late psychic is said to have foreseen a 'massive spacecraft' entering the planet's atmosphere, providing undeniable proof of extraterrestrial life, but its intentions were never revealed.

Baba Vanga left no written records of her predictions. Most of the accounts have come from her niece, Krasimira Stoyanova, or other followers who heard and wrote down her alleged visions after she died in 1996.

However, her followers have been accused of misinterpreting what she said, and skeptics have noted that many of Baba Vanga's visions have not turned out to be right, including one predicting a UFO appearing over a major sporting event in 2025.

Until recently, the US government and the Pentagon have both claimed there has never been any physical evidence suggesting UFOs or aliens exist.

That changed when former President Barack Obama sparked wild speculation during a February 14 interview, where he declared that aliens were real. Trump quickly slammed the comments, claiming Obama had revealed 'classified information.'

Baba Vanga (Pictured) was a Bulgarian mystic and clairvoyant who became a cult figure among conspiracy theorists after being credited with predicting the 9/11 terror attacks and Covid pandemic

Trump's announcement directed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon to disclose anything 'related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).'

Thursday's bombshell followed multiple reports that the president also has a written speech already prepared for a press conference this year, which will focus on what the US government knows about the existence of extraterrestrial beings.

Some interpretations of Baba Vanga's prophecy said the giant alien craft's appearance in November will set off World War III, as the clairvoyant warned of rising tensions between major global powers, including China, Russia and the US.

She also allegedly had visions of the distant future involving Earth's ties to alien life, including claims that human societies would begin building underwater cities with the aid of extraterrestrials in 2130.

Baba Vanga also reportedly predicted humans would make contact with more aliens in 2288, and that the ability to time travel would be invented that same year.

Born in 1911 as Vangeliya Pandeva Dimitrova, she was a famous blind Bulgarian mystic, clairvoyant, and herbalist known as the 'Nostradamus of the Balkans.'

She lost her sight at age 12 after being caught in a tornado, an event that coincided with the emergence of her purported psychic abilities.

Baba Vanga made numerous prophecies, often vague, about natural disasters, political shifts and future technologies, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 230,000, the election of Obama in 2008, and the rise of the Islamic terror group ISIS in 2010.

On February 19, President Trump (Pictured) ordered the Secretary of War and the Pentagon to release all documents related to investigations on the existence of UFOs and alien life

Baba Vanga allegedly predicted that a 'massive spacecraft' would be seen entering Earth's atmosphere in November 2026, marking first contact with aliens

Her track record as a seer of future events rivaled the centuries-old reputation of Nostradamus.

She has also been credited with predicting the destruction of the Russian submarine Kursk, which sank in the Barents Sea in 2000, and seeing the terrorist-controlled planes striking New York's Twin Towers a year later on September 11.

Baba Vanga reportedly said: 'Two metal birds will crash into American brothers, and blood will spill.'

The clairvoyant even foretold her own death correctly, allegedly telling her followers she had dreams she would die on August 11. Baba Vanga did in fact die of cancer on August 11, 1996 at the age of 85.

Despite her reported track record of accurate visions, some predictions of global destruction over the last two decades have failed to materialize. 

Baba Vanga is said to have predicted a nuclear war taking place between 2010 and 2016.

She also allegedly foretold that Europe would be deserted by 2016 after many years of widespread fighting and chemical attacks. The psychic added that several world leaders would be assassinated that same year.

While many believe her prediction of a strange UFO being seen over a televised sporting event in 2025 never came true, conspiracy theorists have claimed it actually did and NASA has withheld the evidence.

Some on social media alleged that the 'new light in the sky' Baba Vanga saw was the passage of the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, which could be seen from Earth as it made its closest pass on December 19, 2025.

Beautiful Petroglyphs Discovered in Venezuela Give Hints of Ancient Culture

A newly recorded set of rock carvings in Venezuela’s Monagas state is being described as potentially among the country’s oldest known examples of rock art, with an estimated age ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 years. The petroglyph panel - marked by spirals, concentric circles and human-like forms - was located in a highland area of the Quebrada Seca community in Cedeño, and local officials are now pushing for formal certification and protection, reports Heritage Daily. If the early age range holds up under scientific study, the discovery could reshape how researchers think about early symbolic traditions in eastern Venezuela. 

• Giant Petroglyphs in South America May Mark Territorial Borders
• Man and Beast Depicted in Huge 2,000-Year-Old Petroglyphs Revealed in Venezuela

Monagas is not the only Venezuelan region producing major rock-art headlines, and comparison cases can help frame what is plausible. In 2024, archaeologists working in Canaima National Park reported dozens of rock art sites featuring pictograms and petroglyphs, with some discussion around the possibility of an as-yet poorly understood cultural tradition in that landscape, explains Live Science. While that research focuses on a different region of the country, it underlines how much remains undocumented and how quickly a new find can expand the map.

• Patagonia Rock Art Reveals Ancient Messages Transmitted Across 3000 Years

Protection, Tourism—and the risk of losing the evidence

In the short term, the bigger story may be what happens next: documentation, dating, and whether the site can be safeguarded before weathering or people do damage. That urgency is familiar to anyone who follows petroglyph finds globally, where the moment a location becomes widely known can also be the moment it becomes vulnerable. 

Local authorities say their immediate goal is to geolocate and safeguard the site, explicitly citing vandalism prevention, while also developing an “archaeological route” tied to sustainable tourism. The balance of public access versus conservation is delicate, because even light touching, chalking, or repeated foot traffic can accelerate deterioration. Monteverde has also indicated plans to meet with cultural authorities, including Venezuela’s national cultural heritage bodies, to formalize certification steps reports Últimas Noticias.

The wider Orinoco basin offers a reminder of both the scale of Venezuela’s rock art and the long timelines involved. A major 2024 study of monumental engravings along the Orinoco, discussed by Smithsonian Magazine, documented numerous large figures—snakes, animals, and human forms—and argued that visibility and placement may have mattered as much as the images themselves. Even though those Orinoco carvings are thought to be around 2,000 years old, their prominence shows how rock art could function as communication in a river landscape.

This Man Claims There Are Multiple Bases on the Moon – Including a Massive Ancient Ark – and People Living There Who Look Like Indians from Ancient India, Flying Egg-Shaped Crafts

By Vicky Verma

He had previously shared stories anonymously under the name “JP” with ufologist Dr. Michael Salla, who documented them in books.Pabon says he is coming forward now at great personal risk to himself and his family, but he has received a “green light” from certain people connected to Washington to speak about specific topics.

He served as a 91J (quartermaster and chemical equipment repairer), worked with water purification, and was often used as a translator because he speaks Spanish, Portuguese, and some other languages

He was attached to the 7th Special Forces Group (though he makes clear he was not a Green Beret himself; he calls himself a “Red Beret” paratrooper) and reached the rank of E-4.

He says lower-ranking soldiers like him were usually the ones sent on the actual missions, while higher-ranking officers stayed in secure locations.

Before joining the military, Pabon lived in Orlando, Florida, where he cleaned pools, installed security cameras, and made music. He started taking photos of UFOs around 2007–2008, including triangular TR3B craft and cigar-shaped objects.

Mysterious men in tactical gear (sometimes wearing balaclavas) would approach him in white vans or trucks and tell him exactly when and where to look up to photograph the craft.

He calls these men “white hats” who wanted the information to get out. At the same time, other groups of armed men would pick him up, interrogate him, and tell him to stop sharing photos.

After he sent a TR3B photo to Dr. Michael Salla and it got media attention, he lost his job. The “good” men then encouraged him to join the Army so the harassment would stop. He joined at age 34, and the military changed his life for the better.

Pabon describes secret missions he took part in while in the Army. He was part of multinational teams that included U.S. special forces from different branches, as well as people from other countries.

On these missions, they wore black tactical gear and were transported by helicopters or Ospreys to large Navy ships that could partially submerge to hide.

From there, they went underwater to visit enormous ancient “ark” ships, massive structures the size of three football stadiums or larger, that have been on Earth for hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of years.

He visited one near the Bermuda area off Florida, and says there are others scattered around the world’s oceans, including near Puerto Rico, south of Hawaii near California, south of India, between Venezuela and Puerto Rico, in the Arctic, and in Antarctica.

These arks are alive; they have a consciousness, give off a pleasant smell like hay mixed with algae and vanilla, and feel like they have a heartbeat.

Tall, blonde Nordic extraterrestrials now control them. Inside, there are different departments and rooms, and some areas connect to underground cities where humans and Nordics live and work together. These cities are multi-layered but smaller than major cities like New York, and they function more like bases without children.

Pabon says he was chosen for missions because he seems to have a natural ability to call down or communicate with UFO craft, possibly through prayer or meditation. He has seen UFOs appear at conferences where he speaks, and his wife and children have also witnessed craft.

He describes seeing Nordics training pilots from Artemis Accords countries in Alabama inside a cavern, using flying-saucer-shaped vehicles. He has also seen “ant people” (beings with big eyes and dreadlock-like hair that live underground, similar to stories from Hopi Indians) and, from a distance, one gray alien during a strange mission involving moving large amounts of gold.

He believes the U.S. has very advanced technology—hundreds of years ahead—including anti-gravity propulsion, space-time manipulation, and quantum technology, much of it developed through cooperation with friendly extraterrestrials like the Nordics. He says many UFO sightings today are actually human-made craft using this borrowed technology, though some are still extraterrestrial. Countries work together secretly on these programs despite public rivalries.

He mentions opposition to disclosure. There are “dark forces” (not the regular military or defense contractors) that do not want this information out, possibly because of old unbreakable contracts. He has been threatened at gunpoint and even kicked in the face by aggressive people using advanced craft for bad purposes. Still, he believes disclosure is coming soon, possibly in phases, and that 2026 could be a key year.

Multiple Moon Bases

He speaks openly about his one remembered trip to a moon base, advanced healing technology called medbeds, Stargates and jump rooms for instant travel, and the spiritual side of everything he has witnessed.

Pabon says there are multiple bases on the moon, including at least one large ancient ark similar to the ones he described under Earth’s oceans in part one.

This ark is partly visible on the surface but mostly underground, located somewhere between the near side and the far side (he cannot give the exact spot). Many countries are involved in moon operations.

He reveals that there are people living on the moon who look Indian, with dark skin and traditional Indian features. They are highly spiritual, combine advanced technology with their spiritual traditions, and fly egg-shaped craft.

These craft are connected to ancient Indian culture (he mentions vimanas from old texts). Pabon believes these moon inhabitants sometimes visit Earth and that the U.S. has recovered some of their egg-shaped ships in crash retrievals0

One of these beings, whom he calls “Lovent,” once picked him up in an egg-shaped craft. He says the egg-shaped UFO shown in a recent NewsNation report about a crash retrieval looks almost identical to the ones he has seen.

He remembers being transported to the moon only once, in a group with other military personnel and civilians, aboard a craft similar to triangular TR3B craft. The trip caused him to black out, and when he woke up, they were already there.

The craft flew into an ancient volcanic tunnel lined with beautiful copper-like material. Inside the moon base, the air is thin but breathable and feels refreshing, similar to high altitude on Earth.

There is a lot of crystallized water on the moon, and advanced technology extracts oxygen from it. The base has newer sections built by humans (possibly in cooperation with Nordics) and older parts that look like ancient Roman-style structures built into large caverns.

The moon itself makes a constant humming sound, almost like an engine. Pabon believes the entire moon is alive or is actually a huge ancient craft that has been parked there for a very long time.

He wonders if it could be moved closer to Earth to cause massive waves or resets of civilization, though he stresses he is not trying to spread fear.

While on the moon, his job was mainly to provide security. He says missions often use lower-ranking soldiers who have already had contact experiences because these things become normal to them. He did not see everyday facilities like bathrooms or cafeterias; everyone took special pills beforehand that seemed to handle bodily needs. The visit felt fast-paced, lasting maybe a few hours.

Pabon talks about portal technology for instant travel. He has seen large Stargates big enough for ships to pass through and smaller “jump rooms” that make a person feel dizzy and nauseous before they suddenly appear somewhere else. He believes some are located at major U.S. Air Force bases like Eglin (possibly also linked to the new Space Force headquarters in Alabama). At one Stargate facility, he encountered aggressive “bad people” who act like guards and punish anyone who looks up or steps out of line.

• This Man Behind the Documentary “The Age of Disclosure” Claims Donald Trump Might Be the One to Confirm the Existence of Aliens

A major part of the interview focuses on medbeds, advanced healing devices far beyond current medicine.

Pabon personally used one at Eglin Air Force Base. He lay in a capsule filled with a sticky gel connected to wires, unable to move from the neck down. Blood was taken, and he blacked out for part of the time.

Afterward, he felt dramatically better, almost like he could run two miles in 12 minutes again. He says the technology is borrowed from extraterrestrials but can also be dangerous if misused, which is why it is not released to the public yet.

When the time comes, it will be rolled out slowly through different companies specializing in certain conditions, and people may need preparatory medications or vaccines first. There are medbeds on the moon base as well.

He mentions other advanced technologies, including devices that can transfer consciousness (like in the movie Avatar) and healing “salamander wands” that can regrow missing limbs.

He once tried to build a healing wand at home after receiving instructions from a Nordic being, but unknown people broke into his house and stole everything. The same thing happened to an Air Force friend who builds technology.

Pabon briefly talks about travel beyond the moon. He has memories or dreams of seeing Jupiter and the rings of Saturn up close. He says a multinational company (not just the U.S.) mines materials from Saturn’s rings and other places in the solar system.

He defends the Apollo astronauts, saying they really went to the moon but on missions different from what was publicly shown, focused on making connections rather than just planting flags or driving rovers.

He loves the military, calls joining the best decision of his life, and says he is not a whistleblower but someone given permission to share certain parts of his story. He believes full disclosure will happen in stages and that love and spirituality are the most important messages people should take from all of this.

This Man Claimed that in 1994 he Met a Blue, Crocodile-Eyed ‘Alien’ in a Military Uniform

He was born in England to an English mother and a U.S. Army Green Beret father, and later lived in Japan, Massachusetts, Germany, and California because of his father’s military assignments.

At about age 10 in San Jose, Jason says he saw a red light come down from the sky, turn into a silver, mercury-drop-shaped object about the size of a camper, hovering just above his friend’s house, silently and very close. He watched it move under a streetlight, then shoot up, orbit briefly with another light, and then one of them streaked across the sky faster than a shooting star; his mother saw part of this with him, and his friend later reported his TV flickering and a humming sound. This sighting led Jason to read “Chariots of the Gods” and become interested in ancient aliens for a while, but as a child, he mostly returned to normal life, sports, and friends, without making UFOs a central focus.

Jason joined the U.S. Air Force in the mid‑1980s, partly influenced by his father but following his father’s advice not to join the Army or Marines; his father wanted him to learn a trade, so Jason chose the Air Force for its technical skills and later used it to earn a bachelor’s degree. He first worked as an airframe repair specialist on large aircraft like C‑130s and KC‑135s, fixing structural cracks, landing gear tracks, and rivets, before being retrained in signals intelligence due to overmanning in his original field.

As a signals intelligence (SIGINT) specialist, Jason monitored telecommunication signals on U.S. military installations, which required strong privacy training because he was listening to Americans, and he had to report threats like planned violent crimes to investigative agencies. He says his work expanded from radios to satellite communications, cell phones, and computer traffic over time, and during Desert Storm, he and his team intercepted information about Iraqi civil engineers being moved, which led to changing U.S. plans to protect those engineers from ambush while they dealt with oil-filled burn pits.

After Germany and Desert Storm, Jason requested western locations like Nevada, Hawaii, or Colorado, and was assigned to Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, living in North Las Vegas. At Nellis, he trained other SIGINT analysts and also received special prototype training to cross over into electronic intelligence (ELINT), working with radar data—this is how he met his future wife, who was an ELINT “scope dope” assigned to the same unit and trained him.

Jason took part in “Red Flag” exercises at Black Mountain and the wider Nevada Test and Training Range, staying for two‑week rotations in small towns like Beatty and Tonopah rather than commuting daily from Las Vegas. He describes how, while training at Black Mountain, people casually pointed across the desert toward the Groom Lake range and talked about “Dreamland” and UFO rumors, which was his first time really hearing those stories in that context.

A few months after arriving in Nevada, Jason and several other analysts were quietly approached by colleagues and told they were being considered for a special access program (SAP) located at Groom Lake. They were asked if they would submit to a full‑scope (lifestyle) polygraph, which probes their entire life history for trustworthiness; Jason agreed, saying he had nothing to hide, and took the polygraph alongside a scientist who was also being onboarded.

After passing, Jason got a call on a Friday telling him to pack his bags without being told the destination, and the next day, he was picked up at his dorm, driven to a special secure part of McCarran Airport, and put on an unmarked “Janet” type flight with other personnel. He noticed that boarding and deplaning were unusually orderly, with no crowding or rushing, and upon arrival, he watched a mandatory security video that introduced the program name, rules, and general mission without openly mentioning aliens.

Jason also notes that he had heard of Bob Lazar in the media but did not know or care about Lazar’s claims while he was actually working at Groom Lake; Lazar had nothing to do with his assignment or chain of command.

 1994 Red Flag exercise near Black Mountain

Jason explains that he and his team were driving in a convoy toward Quartz Mountain, with his truck in the lead. He sat in the back seat behind the driver, with another man in the front passenger seat and a young woman sitting to Jason’s right in the back. They always traveled with at least two vehicles behind them so that if one broke down, the others could help.​

As they drove, Jason saw a man in a standard battle  dress  uniform (BDU), just like his own, standing on the left side of the road about a football field away. When the man noticed their vehicle, he started running toward them in a strange way, leaning forward as if he were falling or pushing against a strong wind. At first, Jason thought he was just another soldier in trouble, not.

As they got closer, Jason noticed that the man’s skin had a light blue tint, like someone who is very cold and hypothermic, not a dark or bright blue, but a pale bluish tone under normal skin color. Jason’s first thought was that the man was freezing and needed help, not that he was anything non‑human. When the stranger was only a few feet from the vehicle, and they were slowing down, the man in the front passenger seat suddenly shouted, “He’s got no ears,” meaning there were no ears at all on the sides of his head.​

Jason at first thought this comment was rude because he assumed the man was suffering and needed medical help. He quickly opened his door and started taking off his jacket, intending to wrap it around the stranger to warm him up. As Jason stepped onto the road, shut the door, and looked at the figure from very close range—about three feet—he saw clearly that the being had no ears, eyes roughly twice the normal human size, and that same blue tint to the skin. At that instant, he felt a strong surge of fear, like a jolt of adrenaline, and thought, “Oh crap, this does not look human.”

Jason says that when he and the being locked eyes, it felt like looking into the eyes of a crocodile or suddenly seeing a rattlesnake; his primal fear spiked even though the being was not attacking him. He describes it as meeting a sentient creature he could not explain, similar to the shock of seeing a huge whale underwater the first time you scuba dive, but without knowing what this “whale” actually was. Despite his fear, the situation changed when the being began to communicate with him, which calmed him somewhat because Jason had to focus on the conversation.​

The being spoke out loud in a language that sounded to Jason like Norwegian or some northern European language, not English. Jason did not understand the spoken words themselves, but at the same time, he clearly received the meaning in his mind, as if the being was speaking telepathically in parallel. Jason says he could understand everything: the being telling him that his craft was damaged and that he needed material to repair it. (it is unclear what the material name was, but many interpreted Jason as pronouncing something like “tintillium/trintillium”)

Jason then pointed in the direction of “Dreamland,” meaning the Groom Lake/Area 51 complex, and said those people might have advanced metals and high‑tech material that could help. As soon as he mentioned them, Jason felt a strong telepathic wave of disgust from the being, as if the being considered those people primitive or barbaric and wanted nothing to do with them.​

Jason confirms he was speaking normally in English, not just thinking, and the being seemed to understand him perfectly. He compares the language effect to speaking Spanish out loud to someone while the listener simultaneously hears perfect English in their mind via Duolingo—one channel is foreign sounds, the other is clear meaning. The being continued talking in its unknown spoken language, while Jason kept understanding the content telepathically.​

During the exchange, Jason occasionally glanced back at h is teammates in the vehicle. He says they looked “zonked,” like zombies, sitting motionless and staring blankly, similar to people who have been stunned in the Men in Black movies. Their expression was so odd that Jason almost found it comical, but he also recognized something was very wrong because they were not reacting to what was happening just outside the vehicle.​

Jason notes that the driver might have started to roll the window down at first, but likely rolled it back up when he saw Jason opening his door, wanting to keep the cold air out. Jason is not certain about the exact position of the window, because his attention was on the being and the conversation rather than the small details in the car. He says the entire interaction with the being could not have lasted more than about five minutes, though it felt intense and full of sensory input.​

At some point, Jason clearly realized, “Holy ****, I’m talking to an alien,” especially after he understood that the being was using an unknown language with a telepathic overlay and after noting that the being’s appearance was completely non‑human. He stresses that he has never before or since had someone speak to him in a foreign language while he simultaneously understood them telepathically in his own language. That combination of physical strangeness and telepathic communication convinced him he was dealing with a non‑human intelligence.​

The craft itself was parked off the road in the desert, about 50 yards from where Jason and the being stood. Jason says he looked to his left as he exited the vehicle and saw it clearly in profile. The craft had a bulbous, egg‑shaped cockpit, white in color, roughly comparable in size to the cockpit of a modern fighter jet, and seemingly able to hold about two occupants. Attached to the back of this cockpit was a flat, black, pancake‑like “egg” about a foot to a foot and a half thick, sticking out where the tail of a helicopter would normally be.​

Jason compares the overall shape to certain helicopters that have a large, rounded canopy where the pilots sit, except this craft had that big,ig rounded section plus the black disk at the rear and no wings or propellers visible. He emphasizes that, as part of Red Flag exercises, he and his colleagues were familiar with every type of aircraft in the U.S. inventory and many foreign allied aircraft, including bombers and fighters. He is confident this craft matched none of them and was unlike anything they were trained on or saw during the exercises.​

Jason says he could take people back to the exact location on that road and point out the spot where the craft sat, probably within about ten feet. He remembers the spot very clearly on the route toward Quartz Mountain. As the conversation continued, Jason ran out of helpful ideas; after being reacted with disgust to the Groom Lake suggestion, Jason told him the only other possibility he could think of was a geophysics professor he knew at the community college in downtown Las Vegas, who might have access to metals or specialists.​

When Jason mentioned the professor, the being accepted this as a possible option and said something like “OK” in response. Shortly after that, the conversation ended; Jason did not want to stay any longer and also felt they had reached the limits of what he could do to help. The being then walked back to his craft, entered it, and the craft lifted off.​

Jason describes the takeoff sound as a strange noise, somewhat like a squeaking fan belt in a car, but not very loud. The craft rose straight up from its position, then began moving horizontally while rising in a kind of stair‑step pattern rather than a smooth line, which Jason thinks could be due to the damage the being had mentioned, especially affecting the vertical flight system. The craft flew south‑southeast across the range, in a direction roughly toward Las Vegas, and eventually passed out of sight.​

After the craft left, Jason got back into the vehicle. At that moment, his teammates seemed to “come to”: their faces no longer looked zoned out, and they suddenly acted normal again. No one said, “What the hell was that?” or reacted the way Jason expected after such an extraordinary event. When he asked them directly if they had seen what just happened, they all said no.​

Jason felt this was strange, and he sensed that at least the ranking driver did remember something, because that man firmly said no and added that they should not talk about it. Jason took this as a sign that the senior man had seen enough to be frightened or concerned and wanted the subject shut down. He thinks it is likely that some of the people in the car, maybe all of them except him, experienced “lost time” or had their awareness switched off during the main part of the encounter.​

Jason explains “lost time” as a gap in memory where a section of time disappears, either because of a physical blow to the head or, in many abduction stories, because the beings have a way to turn off a person’s consciousness. He mentions reports where car radios and electronics shut down around craft, and afterwards, witnesses realize more time has passed than they remember, even though it felt like nothing happened. Jason believes something like this may have affected his teammates and may also connect to his own later missing time that day.​

He then continues the story to describe what happened after they reached Black Mountain. The convoy proceeded as scheduled; they had to arrive at a set time to power up their equipment and start their operational work, so outwardly, everyone focused on the mission. Jason, however, drove in shock, silently replaying the encounter in his head and thinking, “Holy crap, what just happened?”​

At Black Mountain, they set up their gear, worked through the mission, and then later returned to their hotel. Jason says that only the ranking man seemed to recall any part of it, because he was the only one willing to acknowledge anything when Jason tried to talk to him later. Around lunchtime that same day at Black Mountain, Jason felt a very strong, strange urge to eat his lunch outside even though it was extremely cold.​

He followed this feeling, took his lunch, and walked down the road from the Black Mountain site about 100 to 150 feet. He remembers walking down the road—and then his memory simply stops. That is where his own missing time begins: he has no recollection of what happened after walking that short distance away from the main site.

Post-Alien Encounter

Years later, in 2022, Jason says he was asked by people associated with the UAP Task Force to contact the other men from the car to corroborate the event. He reached out to one former colleague, who initially replied warmly, but when Jason mentioned “remember that day back in ’94, that UFO,” the man never responded again and effectively ghosted him.​

Jason interprets this as either fear, unwillingness to revisit traumatic or sensitive material, or pressure to remain silent, although he cannot know the exact reason. He states he is willing to take a polygraph specifically about this UFO encounter and his Groom Lake experiences because he considers himself an honest person and believes he is telling the truth as he remembers it.

He mentions that he has spoken privately, in more detail, to a very small number of trusted people and that some of what he told them included references to operations that could be interpreted as involving non‑human intelligences (NHI), but he stresses he is still trying to sort out what is memory, what is nightmare, and how his mind might have protected him by altering or hiding details.​

Jason repeatedly acknowledges that claims about missing time, UFO craft at Black Mountain, and any implication of being ordered to harm an NHI sound unbelievable and can severely damage his credibility. He says his hesitation and emotional reaction are partly because he knows how bad this sounds, even “if it’s true,” and he does not want these aspects to be used to dismiss his documented military career and more conventional intelligence work.​

At the same time, he emphasizes that his life story, service record, positions of trust, and multiple polygraphs show that he has generally been considered reliable and responsible within the system. Jason’s current stance is that he stands by what he has described about his UFO encounter and his involvement in a Groom Lake SAP, but he draws a line on discussing the most extreme alleged incidents until he and his psychiatrist can fully unpack them, out of concern for both truth and his own mental health.

This Man Behind the Documentary “The Age of Disclosure” Claims Donald Trump Might Be the One to Confirm the Existence of Aliens

When President Trump posted on his Truth Social website Thursday evening that he was directing the government to release records tied to aliens and UFOs, understandably, the reaction was immediate excitement, speculation, and a fresh wave of “disclosure” chatter across social media.

However, buried in the adrenaline rush of the government revealing its UFO secrets is a quieter—and far more consequential—detail. President Trump’s statement, as written, does not clearly order the declassification of any such records (if they exist).

So, is Trump really set to release all existing alien and UFO files? Not so fast.

A Review and Release Effort?

“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” President Trump wrote.

The President’s statement reads more like a directive to begin a review-and-release effort—an important distinction in a national security system where “release” is often conditional, redacted, delayed, or quietly denied.

Similarly, Trump’s phrasing—to begin the process”—matters. It implies bureaucracy and coordination. It does not explicitly say, “These records are now declassified.”

President Trump’s post, then, may be less a sudden opening of the vault than a signal that the government is being told to look for material it can safely put out—on a timeline and through a process controlled by the same agencies that have long treated UAP information as sensitive.

The gap between the headline-grabbing word “release” and the legal action behind “declassify” is the pivot point in the story, because without an explicit declassification order, any disclosure is likely to arrive slowly, selectively, and heavily shaped by national security concerns.

And the timing only heightens the confusion, given that Trump’s directive follows a recent surge of presidential alien talk—first from former President Barack Obama, then from Trump himself.

Obama’s viral “aliens are real” moment—and Trump’s Air Force One reaction

Former President Obama recently went viral after telling podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them.” The remark, delivered in a speed-round tone, ricocheted online—especially among audiences primed by years of congressional UAP hearings, leaked military videos, and renewed public debate about what the government may be sitting on.

Days later, Obama walked back the remark, clarifying on Instagram, “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.”

The viral moment was also amplified by fresh intrigue within Trump’s orbit. On the New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast, Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump suggested she believes the president has a prepared address he’s saving for later, saying: “There is some speech that he has, that I guess at the right time, I don’t know when the right time is, he’s going to break out and talk about and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life.”

​Pressed on Wednesday about Lara Trump’s claim, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said she was unaware of any such plans, calling the idea “very exciting” and of “great interest,” but adding that a speech on aliens was “news to me.”

Yet, rather than brushing off the new wave of alien talk, President Trump appeared to pour fuel on it. During a Q&A with reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday, framing Obama’s original quip as if it were an accidental national security leak.

“He gave classified information, he’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump told Fox News’s Peter Doocy,  before adding that he might “get him out of trouble by declassifying.”

The entire sequence was tailor-made for the modern UFO information ecosystem. A viral soundbite and walk-back by a former President, whispers of a coming “alien speech,” and a sitting President hinting at secrecy.

Ook geen maanmissie in maart voor Artemis II, technische problemen gooien roet in eten

Maanmissie Artemis II zal zeker niet in maart plaatsvinden. Dat heeft NASA-baas Jared Isaacman zaterdag bekendgemaakt. Hij liet weten dat technische problemen met de SLS-raket de oorzaak zijn van het uitstel.

De problemen werden in de nacht van vrijdag op zaterdag door NASA-teams vastgesteld. Het gaat om een storing in de heliumtoevoer in een van de trappen van de raket, specificeerde Isaacman.

"Wat de mogelijke oorzaak van de storing ook is, deze problemen zullen het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartagentschap dwingen de raket terug te sturen naar de assemblagehal, waardoor de geplande lancering in maart niet doorgaat", legde hij uit op X.

Vrijdag nog had NASA aangekondigd dat het streefde naar een lancering op zijn vroegst 6 maart, na een grote test die succesvol leek te zijn verlopen.

Eerder waren er ook al technische problemen opgedoken waardoor de startdatum in februari moest uitgesteld worden.

Het huidige startvenster voor Artemis II loopt tot april. Met deze missie wil NASA voor het eerst sinds 1972 weer mensen richting de maan sturen. Later moeten ook bemande maanlandingen volgen.

De immense wit-oranje raket is bijna 100 meter lang. De bedoeling is dat de raket vier astronauten, drie Amerikanen en een Canadees, in een baan rond de maan zal brengen.

In het kader van de Artemis II-missie moeten de ruimtevaarders voorbereidende werken uitvoeren voor de volgende missie (Artemis III). Die staat gepland voor 2027. De bedoeling van Artemis III is om astronauten opnieuw op het maandoppervlak te doen landen, waar ze een permanente menselijke aanwezigheid moeten uitbouwen.
