'Artificial intelligence is not a miracle cure': Nobel laureate raises questions about AI-generated image of black hole spinning at the heart of our galaxy

However, this technique, known as very long baseline interferometry, is very susceptible to interference from water vapor in Earth’s atmosphere. This means it can be tough for researchers to make sense of the information the instruments collect.

"It is very difficult to deal with data from the Event Horizon Telescope," Michael Janssen, an astrophysicist at Radboud University in the Netherlands and co-author of the study, told Live Science. "A neural network is ideally suited to solve this problem."

Janssen and his team trained an AI model on EHT data that had been previously discarded for being too noisy. In other words, there was too much atmospheric static to decipher information using classical techniques.

Through this AI technique, they generated a new image of Sagittarius A*'s structure, and their picture revealed some new features. For example, the black hole appears to be spinning at "almost top speed," the researchers said in a statement, and its rotational axis also seems to be pointing toward Earth. Their results were published this month in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Pinpointing the rotational speed of Sagittarius A* would give scientists clues about how radiation behaves around supermassive black holes and offer insight into the stability of the disk of matter around it.

However, not everyone is convinced that the new AI is totally accurate. According to Genzel, the relatively low quality of the data going into the model could have biased it in unexpected ways. As a result, the new image may be somewhat distorted, he said, and shouldn't be taken at face value.

In the future, Janssen and his team plan to apply their technique to the latest EHT data and measure it against real-world results. They hope this analysis will help to refine the model and improve future simulations.

Buga Sphere in Colombia Seen Again In China, June 5, 2025, UFO UAP Sighting News. Video!

Date of sighting: June 5, 2025

Location of sighting: Shayukou Reservoir, China

Source: 

• https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1lcqo4s/buga_sphere_spotted_in_china/ 

Wow, this is getting really weird. Another Buga sphere has been recorded and released on Reddit today. As I have said before, this increase in close by orb sightings is building up to something very important and very big. The soul purpose of these orbs is to gather intelligence, data and record it, sending it back to its home world. These orbs also use telepathy...which is very powerful and can reach several miles due to its alien technology. Yes, they read your mind, your thoughts when focused. Thats why orbs sometimes come when you meditate calling them to you. It worked once for me, came two meters from me, grapefruit size. Why did this orb fly into the area where the huts were located at the end of the video? Many questions, but one thing is for sure, humans do not have this technology. It's 100% alien made.

Email report to scwaring @ yahoo.com

 

This just came in my email a few days ago. An eyewitness spotted an orb moving over the city. He describes it as grey metal of some sort and it looks similar in size and speed to the orb recorded and recovered in Colombia a few months ago called the "Buga sphere." It looks like spheres are coming closer and closer to observer human activities. This is strange, because usually they hover and hide within the clouds...moving in and out the edges of these clouds to record and observer. I call them cloud orbs, but to see them suddenly being recorded so frequently by others at such a low altitude...something big must be being planed by aliens on the horizon.

Eyewitness states: 

I captured this a little while ago. Not the best video quality, but you can see it flying in a very straight path. If it were a balloon, I would expect it to be more affected by the wind, which you can hear in the recording. There is a jump cut in the middle where I cut out about 10 seconds where it's not in frame. I got a better view before recording, and I'd estimate it to be roughly basketball sized or a bit larger. Seemingly made of metal or some other silver material.

UFOs are at risk of going 'down the paranormal rabbit hole', expert warns - as bombshell report reveals Pentagon planted myths

• READ MORE: Bombshell report reveals truth about Area 51 UFO conspiracy

By WILIAM HUNTER

UFOs are at risk of 'going down the paranormal rabbit hole', an expert has warned in wake of a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal. 

The report revealed that UFO conspiracies were fuelled by the Pentagon in a bid to conceal a classified weapons programme.

According to the 2024 US Department of Defense (DOD) review, the government conducted a deliberate disinformation campaign during the Cold War era, going so far as to distribute fake photos of flying saucers to residents.

Following the release of the report, Nick Pope, who worked on the MoD's UFO desk for three years from 1991, claims that some UFO investigators are introducing 'too much religiosity' into their theories.

In a post on X, Mr Pope wrote: 'The subject of UAP has gone from fringe to mainstream. 

'Congress is engaged. 

'We risk losing this if we go down the paranormal rabbit hole, or introduce too much religiosity or spirituality into the narrative. 

'Let's keep the focus on defense, national security and safety of flight.'

UFOs are at risk of 'going down the paranormal rabbit hole', an expert has warned in wake of a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal 

Mr Pope (pictured), who worked on the MoD's UFO desk for three years from 1991, cautioned that some UFO investigators were introducing 'too much religiosity' into their theories and warned that those interested in UFOs should 'keep the focus on defense, national security, and safety of flight'

Over the last few years, there has been growing interest at the highest levels of US politics in the topic of UFOs and UFO sightings.

Members of Congress, largely coming from the Republican Party, have formed a caucus to examine what they call 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' or 'UAPs'.

In 2023, this culminated in a major congressional hearing in which former US officials testified to the existence of a secret UFO recovery programme.

David Grusch, who led the analysis of UAP within a US defence agency, claimed that the government had taken possession of alien craft and 'biologics'.

However, UFOs' growing credibility now risks taking a serious blow as it emerges that a number of UFO theories might have been deliberately started by the Pentagon itself.

The new claims of a secret weapons cover-up come from a report by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) - a congressional task force within the DOD created to investigate persistent rumours of secret government projects involving alien technology.

Sean Kirkpatrick, the first director of the AARO, was appointed by the government in 2022 to investigate and make sense of the countless UFO theories swirling through public and military channels.

Investigating UFO reports dating back to 1945, AARO discovered several cases where high-ranking military officials deliberately misled the public and their colleagues.

The subject of UFOs has recently gained credibility, culminating in a series of Congressional Hearings in 2023 in which whistleblowers testified that the US has a secret UFO retrieval programme 

Recent reports suggest that the Pentagon deliberately fanned the flames of UFO conspiracies and gave doctored images to members of the public and members of the military to cover up a secret weapons programme. Pictured: The famous 'Tic Tac' UFO video

Mr Kirkpatrick told the Wall Street Journal he had met a number of former Air Force members who claimed to have been briefed on a project called 'Yankee Blue'.

For decades, some newly recruited officers were given a picture which appeared to show a flying saucer and were told that they were part of a programme called Yankee Blue which was responsible for reverse-engineering the technology.

However, the picture was a fake and there was such a reverse-engineering programme.

Instead, Yankee Blue appears to have been a bizarre hazing ritual or loyalty test for new recruits into the Air Force.

And even decades later, news that Yankee Blue was fake stunned the now-retired servicemen.

It was not until 2023 did the defence secretary's office sent a memo out across the service ordering the practice to stop immediately.

Kirkpatrick told then President's director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, who was also stunned.

Haines was said to have pressed the issue, questioning how the hazing could have carried on without being stopped.

According to the 2024 US Department of Defense (DOD) review, the Pentagon (pictured) conducted a deliberate disinformation campaign during the Cold War era, going so far as to distribute fake photos of flying saucers to residents.

The official responded: 'Ma'am, we know it went on for decades. We are talking about hundreds and hundreds of people. These men signed NDAs. They thought it was real.'

Mr Pope told MailOnline: 'The idea that governments have faked UFO narratives so as to distract people from black project technologies isn't new. 

'It doesn't surprise me that the practice continues, or that other false narratives have been created, perhaps as loyalty tests, to see if people leak them, or even as practical jokes.'

These findings are particularly critical for UFO researchers since they threaten to cast doubt over recent high-profile testimony given before Congress.

For example, Mike Gold, who served on NASA's independent UAP study team in October 2022, told Congress that 'UAPs should be taken seriously and researched accordingly.'

If it is true that UFO sightings are being manufactured by the intelligence community, then it could mean this testimony can no longer be relied on.  

Mr Pope adds: 'At some of the public sessions, Intelligence Community insiders have testified as to the reality of legacy Intelligence Community programmes relating to crash retrievals and reverse engineering, unequivocally stating that the U.S. government is in possession of hardware and bodies of a non-human intelligence.

'Congress urgently now needs to ask: are these statements true, were the witnesses taken in by these false narratives, or were they complicit in creating and spreading such narratives?'

Despite this new information, UFO advocates such as Luiz Elizondo (pictured) have doubled down on their beliefs. Mr Elizondo appeared to insinuate that the recent investigation was, itself, part of a conspiracy to hide the truth about UFOs

As these reports rattle many UFO believers, Mr Pope insists that it is key for those in favour of UFO disclosure to 'push narratives that compete with the religious/spiritual one'.

Mr Pope wrote: 'Let's keep the focus on defense, national security and safety of flight.'

His comments come in response to a growing number of UFO supporters who argue that aliens are actually angels or other supernatural creatures.

For example, Luis Elizondo, one of the leading UFO whistleblowers and disclosure advocates, has claimed that he psychically transformed into an angel to scare terrorists as part of a secret Pentagon programme.

Yet despite the Wall Street Journal's revelations and Mr Pope's appeal to stick to the facts, many UFO believers have only entrenched themselves deeper in conspiracy theories.

Speaking on the Good Trouble Show podcast, Mr Elizondo said: 'The absurdity of the WSJ article is not only a disingenuous piece, it appears to be well orchestrated with the usual players in the DoD [Department of Defence].'

Likewise, commenters on the popular r/UFO Reddit page shared their belief that the WSJ investigation must be another conspiracy.

One commenter wrote: 'The fact they are claiming this is totally absurd but it’s important to see why they are doing it. WSJ is being fed this info from Pentagon sources. Why? What is their angle?'

UFO believers are concerned that these findings could be used to undermine the testimony of several whistleblowers given before Congress in 2023. This has led to wild speculation that the investigation itself was a 'psy-op' from the Pentagon to discredit UFO believers 

Experts say that conspiracy theories are 'sticky', meaning that believers cannot give them up easily even when faced with contradictory evidence 

However, psychologists say that this reaction to the sudden release of new information is normal for conspiracy theorists.

Dr Daniel Jolley, an expert on the psychology of conspiracy theories from the University of Nottingham, told MailOnline: 'Conspiracy beliefs can be very “sticky” because they’re often tied to people’s identity and worldview.

'When someone invests in a conspiracy belief, it becomes part of how they make sense of the world and themselves. 

New evidence that contradicts those beliefs can be dismissed or rationalised away since accepting it might threaten deeply held assumptions and create psychological discomfort.'

This means that the suggestion that UFO myths were created as a disinformation campaign is unlikely to affect the deeply held beliefs of those who already think UFOs are real.

The first ever images of the sun's south pole have been snapped by satellite launched by the European Space Agency (ESA). 

Until now, every image of the sun has been taken from straight on, along the 'elliptical plane' - the flat disk on which all planets orbit.

But by tilting its orbit to 17 degrees below the equator, the ESA's solar orbiter has managed to reveal a side of our home star that has never been seen before.

Soon, the probe will tilt its orbit lower for an even better view - meaning the best images are yet to come.

By meeting up with Venus once every few orbits, the orbiter can use the planet's gravity to shift and tilt its orbit.

This has already allowed the probe to make some exciting new discoveries about the sun, and the researchers behind the project say that revelations are on the way.

Dr Hamish Reid, an astronomer at UCL and UK co-investigator on the orbiter's Extreme Ultraviolet Imager, told MailOnline: 'This moment is very significant; we have been waiting decades since we first started observing the Sun to catch a glimpse of the poles. 

'This really is the missing piece of the puzzle in our understanding of the solar magnetic field.'

The European Space Agency has captured the first ever image of the sun's south pole, a region normally hidden from all planets and modern satellites in the solar system 

The Solar Orbiter has already used three of its 10 instruments to make new measurements of the sun's south pole, revealing the mechanisms that produce space weather 

Solar Orbiter used three instruments to capture images of the sun's hidden south pole, each looking at the sun in a different way.

The Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) was used to study the sun in visible light and map the surface magnetic field.

The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) captures ultraviolet light to reveal million-degree charged gas in the Sun's outer atmosphere.

Meanwhile the Spectral Imaging of the Coronal Environment (SPICE) instrument reveals the layers of the sun's atmosphere by capturing light from different temperatures of charged gas.

Dr Sami Solanki, of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, says: 'We didn't know what exactly to expect from these first observations – the Sun's poles are literally terra incognita.'

Already, these observations are helping scientists understand how the sun's ever-changing weather could impact Earth.

The sun's magnetic poles flip roughly once every 11 years in a process known as the solar cycle.

This flip coincides with a period of massively increased activity known as the solar maximum, sending huge solar flares and waves of ejected material hurtling towards Earth.

Using its magnetic sensors, the probe has revealed that the sun's magnetic fields are a mess at the moment. The south pole (pictured) currently has areas of north (red) and south (blue) polarity magnetic fields

Solar Orbiter used three instruments to capture images of the sun's hidden south pole, each looking at the sun in a different way

While these events can have serious consequences for our planet's electronics and communications systems, we don't know enough about the sun's magnetic poles to predict exactly when a solar maximum will occur.

Professor Lucie Green, an astronomer at UCL and co-investigator on the EUI, says: 'Being able to observe the poles is vital for understanding how the Sun's magnetic field operates on a global scale, leading to an 11-year cycle in the Sun's activity.'

One of the Solar Orbiters' first observations is that the magnetic fields at the sun's south pole are currently in a state of disarray.

A normal bar magnet will have a clear north and south pole, but the sun's south pole currently has both north and south magnetic fields present.

This only happens for a short time during the solar maximum right after the magnetic poles flip.

After the flip, the polarity will slowly build up over the next five years to create clear north and south poles, bringing the sun to its most stable period known as a solar minimum.

Scientists still don't fully understand how this build-up process happens, but the Solar Orbiters' new position should help them find out.

Professor Green says: 'We'll see previously unobserved high-latitude flows that carry magnetic elements to the polar regions, and in doing so sow the fundamental seeds for the next solar cycle.'

This period of messy solar activity coincides with the 'solar maximum', a short period during which the sun's magnetic poles flip. This is the period in which Earth is hit with the most solar flares and solar wind 

In addition to capturing the changing magnetic fields, the Solar Orbiter has captured the first look inside the south pole's different layers.

The SPICE instrument measures the light, or spectral lines, sent out by specific chemicals when they are heated to known temperatures.

By tracking these spectral lines, the Solar Orbiter can work out how fast clumps of solar material are moving in a process called 'Doppler measurement'.

Tracking how these particles move between the sun's layers is vitally important since it can reveal how this material is flung out of the sun in the form of solar wind.

Solar wind is responsible for triggering the Northern Lights but can also damage satellites in orbit, disrupt power grids on land, and bathe astronauts in dangerous radiation.

Having now dropped below the equator, the Solar Orbiter could now help scientists understand this disruptive phenomenon.

aDr Frédéric Auchère, an astronomer from the University of Paris-Saclay and SPICE team leader, says: 'Doppler measurements of solar wind setting off from the Sun by current and past space missions have been hampered by the grazing view of the solar poles.

'Measurements from high latitudes, now possible with Solar Orbiter, will be a revolution in solar physics.'

Scientists have used the Solar Orbiter to look at how particles move through the sun's layers. This image shows the light sent out by carbon particles heated to 32,000 °C 

This image shows how those carbon particles are moving towards or away from the probe. Blue regions show clumps of material moving out of the sun towards the orbiter, while red patches show particles moving away

However, these are just the very first observations and scientists say that more measurements and even more discoveries are yet to come.

Large parts of the data from the first images still need to be analysed, with the full dataset expected to arrive back on Earth by October this year.

In the years to come, all ten of the Solar Orbiter's instruments will collect vast quantities of data as further meet-ups with Venus shift the craft to an even more tilted orbit.

Eventually, the Solar Orbiter will hit an angle of 33 degrees below the equator, giving an extremely clear view of the sun's southern pole.

Dr Daniel Müller, ESA's Solar Orbiter project scientist, says: 'This is just the first step of Solar Orbiter's 'stairway to heaven'. In the coming years, the spacecraft will climb further out of the ecliptic plane for ever better views of the Sun's polar regions.

'These data will transform our understanding of the Sun's magnetic field, the solar wind, and solar activity.'

It was built in Stevenage, England and is loaded with a carefully selected set of 10 telescopes and direct sensing instruments.

Solar Orbiter will fly within 26 million miles (43 million km) of the solar surface to closely inspect our star's poles.

Scientists are investigating how the sun's violent outer atmosphere, also known as its corona, forms.

This is the region from which 'solar wind' — storms of charged particles that can disrupt electronics on Earth — are blown out into space.

Through Solar Orbiter, researchers hope to unravel what triggers solar storms to help better predict them in future.

The Solar Orbiter's heat shields are expected to reach temperatures of up to 600C (1,112F) during its closest flybys.

It will work closely with Nasa's Parker Solar Probe, which launched in August 2018, and is also studying the Sun's corona.

Studying the depths of the universe usually involves billions of pounds of supercomputers, satellites, and telescopes.

But a team of scientists has now made it possible for you to explore the cosmos from the comfort of your own home.

Their incredible interactive map, dubbed COSMOS-Web, lets you scroll through almost 800,000 galaxies and peer back as far as 13.5 billion years.

That means looking back through 98 per cent of cosmic time almost to the birth of the universe 13.8 billion years ago.

Covering an area of sky about the same size as three full moons, this image combines more than 10,000 photographs from the James Webb Space Telescope.

Professor Caitlin Casey, an astronomer at UC Santa Barbara who co-led the COSMOS collaboration, said: 'Our goal was to construct this deep field of space on a physical scale that far exceeded anything that had been done before.

'If you had a printout of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field on a standard piece of paper, our image would be slightly larger than a 13-foot by 13-foot-wide mural, at the same depth.

'So it's really strikingly large.'

Scientists have created an incredible interactive map of the universe, allowing you to scroll through over 800,000 galaxies 

The COSMOS-Web map combines over 10,000 images from the James Webb Space Telescope to create the largest deep-field map of the universe ever created. This image shows how much detail can be revealed as you zoom in 

While the data for this map has existed for a while, it was previously in a raw form that needed expert analysis and a supercomputer to interpret.

But over the last two years, an international team of scientists has worked to turn the data behind the largest map of the universe into something that anyone can use.

In the stunning interactive map, at this link, you can zoom out to see hundreds of thousands of galaxies stretch across the sky or zoom in to reveal amazing details.

Using the tools included in the map you can even dive deeper into the data by switching between different imaging tools.

To learn even more, turn on catalogues using the tabs on the left-hand side and click on any galaxy to bring up a vast trove of data.

The researchers have made this available to the public in the hopes that more people will be able to help dig into the data and unpick some of the universe's most puzzling questions.

Professor Casey says: 'The best science is really done when everyone thinks about the same data set differently.

'It's not just for one group of people to figure out the mysteries.'

Six galaxies hidden in the COSMOS-Web map as they were 3 billion, 4 billion, 8 billion, 9 billion and 10 billion years ago (from top left to bottom right). This period spans almost the entirety of cosmic history 

Nine galaxies in the map which span all of cosmic time, from upper left to lower right: the present day universe, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 billion years ago

Already, this enormous set of data is helping scientists understand how galaxies formed at the beginning of time and challenging some basic assumptions in astronomy.

Based on data from the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers expected galaxies to be extremely rare in the first 500 million years.

This is because it takes a long time for stars to form under gravity and get pulled together into larger structures.

But when the researchers looked back at the most distant reaches of the universe, they found there were about 10 times more galaxies than they expected to find.

Professor Casey says: 'Since the telescope turned on we've been wondering 'Are these JWST datasets breaking the cosmological model?'

'Because the universe was producing too much light too early; it had only about 400 million years to form something like a billion solar masses of stars. We just do not know how to make that happen.'

The map is so much more detailed than earlier efforts because of the size of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

While Hubble's main light-collecting was 7ft 10 inches (2.4m) across, the JWST's is a staggering 21ft (6.5m) wide.

An international team of scientists have spent the last two years converting the raw data of the map into something that anyone can access 

You can use the filters on the map to reveal more information about the universe 

By clicking on any galaxy you can pull up a huge amount of data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope 

That allows the telescope to collect the faintest traces of light coming from the furthest reaches of the galaxy.

Dr Jeyhan Kartaltepe, associate professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology who co-leads COSMOS-Web, says: 'The sensitivity of JWST lets us see much fainter and more distant galaxies than ever before, so we're able to find galaxies in the very early universe and study their properties in detail.'

Going forward the team behind COSMOS-Web still has a lot more work to do in order to unpack all the data hidden in the map.

They plan to use the JWST spectrographic tools to identify the oldest galaxies in the image and learn more about the chemistry of these early stars.

THE BIG BANG THEORY DESCRIBES THE BEGINNING AND EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSE

The Big Bang Theory is a cosmological model, a theory used to describe the beginning and the evolution of our universe.

It says that the universe was in a very hot and dense state before it started to expand 13,7 billion years ago.

This theory is based on fundamental observations.

In 1920, Hubble observed that the distance between galaxies was increasing everywhere in the universe. 

The Big Bang Theory is a cosmological model, a theory used to describe the beginning and the evolution of our universe, based on observations - including the cosmic background radiation (pictured), which is a like a fossil of radiation emitted during the beginning of the universe, when it was hot and dense

This means that galaxies had to be closer to each other in the past.

In 1964, Wilson and Penzias discovered the cosmic background radiation, which is a like a fossil of radiation emitted during the beginning of the universe, when it was hot and dense. 

The cosmic background radiation is observable everywhere in the universe.

The composition of the universe - that is, the the number of atoms of different elements -  is consistent with the Big Bang Theory. 

So far, this theory is the only one that can explain why we observe an abundance of primordial elements in the universe.

Scientists identify strange 'communication' of non-human intelligence in Earth's oceans

• READ MORE: Scientists 'found' alien life on distant planet and now we may know what it looks like

By CHRIS MELORE, ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Scientists have found the source of a strange form of communication in the ocean that they say could help them locate extraterrestrial life in space.

Researchers from the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) revealed that large 'smoke ring-like' bubbles coming from underwater were created by humpback whales, which researchers believe is their way of greeting nearby humans.

It's the first time scientists have seen whales sending out these unique rings while interacting with people in the wild, and the SETI team said they show an intentional attempt to get the attention of humans - just like saying hello.

Until now, the bubble rings have only been seen while humpbacks were gathering prey and when males were making a trail of bubble rings to attract a mate.

Researchers said it's quite possible whales have been trying to communicate with people for years but the phenomenon hasn't been studied until now.

The team added that these bubble rings could help researchers refine their search for an alien intelligence in the cosmos, opening a door to spotting unusual signals from space that we normally wouldn't think are meant for humans.

Study co-lead author Dr Fred Sharpe from the University of California-Davis said: 'They are blowing bubble rings in our direction in an apparent attempt to playfully interact, observe our response, and/or engage in some form of communication.'

Now, the institute's WhaleSETI team is studying if this could be a sign that intelligent marine animals are trying to talk to humans, in the same way that aliens from a distant ocean may try to contact Earth.

Researchers from the SETI Institute and the University of California-Davis revealed that large 'smoke ring-like' bubbles coming from underwater were created by humpback whales, not aliens

Humpback whales have never been seen making these bubble rings while interacting with humans until 2019, when this new study began documenting multiple cases

The SETI Institute is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to searching for extraterrestrial intelligence and studying the origins and nature of life in the universe. 

Scientists analyzed 12 bubble ring episodes that involved 11 different humpback whales between 2019 and 2023 in the wild.

These rare reports came from naturalists, citizen scientists, and researchers who revealed what they saw on social media, during interviews, or at scientific conferences.

In total, the witnesses spotted 39 bubble rings from whale-watching boats, research vessels, private ships, and airplanes.

The study, published in Marine Mammal Science, found that bubble rings were produced in three main contexts: feeding, resting, and curiosity - which was the most common purpose.

There were nine instances of humpback whales blowing bubble rings near boats and swimmers.

The whales in these cases were consistently seen approaching boats and people in the water without any signs of aggression, splashing their tails and spraying water out of their blowholes.

The researchers said this was a clear sign that the humpbacks were relaxed and trying to be playful, leading them to feel comfortable communicating with the humans near them.

SETI researchers documented 12 cases of humpback whale bubble ring, with 9 of them occurring while whales were playfully interacting with people on boats or swimming nearby

They typically let out bubble rings from their blowholes that were six to 10 feet in diameter, which floated straight up and look like a smoke ring when they reached the ocean surface.

The rings were often aimed right at humans and were paired with other playful behaviors like circling the boats or peeking at swimmers.

The humpbacks didn't show anger or fear and lingered after sending out the bubble ring, almost as if waiting for the people to “answer” their greeting.

Scientists concluded that these rings might be a whale’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s chat!” or play a game to see how we react, much like a child blowing bubbles to get our attention.

The team from SETI said this never-before-seen behavior among humpback whales further supports the assumption that intelligent extraterrestrial life might also seek contact with humans.

SETI Institute scientist and study co-author Dr Laurance Doyle said: 'This important assumption is certainly supported by the independent evolution of curious behavior in humpback whales.' 

Humpback whales have been a constant resource in SETI's search for alien life, with researchers using them as a model of intelligent, non-human creatures which may be living on distant ocean worlds

By studying these whales and their new interactions with people as an example of non-human intelligence, WhaleSETI researchers are creating ways of finding and translating potential signals found in space.

The institute suggested that bubble rings could be a deliberate attempt by whales to talk with humans they considered peaceful, not just aimless play.

According to SETI, this would mimic how extraterrestrials might target satellite receivers on Earth if they wanted to contact humanity.

This isn't the first time the WhaleSETI team has connected the behavior of humpbacks to aliens.

In 2023, scientists engaged in a 20-minute 'conversation' with a humpback whale named Twain in Alaska.

They played whale calls for her and Twain responded with similar calls, matching the timing like a back-and-forth chat.

That study showed whales can intentionally interact with humans, helping SETI scientists understand the non-human intelligences they may find in space.

'By integrating our findings into the broader context of Drake's Equation, we aspire to advance our understanding of the factors influencing the emergence of communicative intelligence in extraterrestrial civilizations,' the WhaleSETI team explained in a statement.

Drake's Equation is a mathematical formula created in 1961 to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy that can communicate with humans and might be detectable through their signals, like radio waves.

If whales show that curiosity and friendly interactions are key to communication, it suggests alien civilizations might also need these traits to develop detectable signals, influencing the numbers in Drake's Equation and guiding SETI's search for life beyond Earth.

A mysterious metallic sphere was captured soaring above a field in Colombia, just two months after locals recovered a similar object many are calling a UFO.

The footage, filmed on June 7 over a sugarcane field in Yumbo, shows the sphere darting in a zigzag pattern and maneuvering in ways that appear to defy conventional aircraft. 

Witnesses described the object as 'moving with great speed and freedom' as it hovered above the ground. 

However, many people said the object is either a balloon or the video was created using AI.

UFO researcher Jaime Maussan, whose research has stirred controversy for nearly a decade, released the video on his show, Maussan Television. 

He described the sphere as 'likely not from here' and suggested it may be a technology humans do not yet possess.

'When the workers were investigating the crops, this sphere appeared and they were able to capture it with state-of-the-art equipment. The images are truly extraordinary,' Maussan said. He added that the latest sphere appeared nearly identical to the first, recovered in Buga, about 43 miles from Yumbo. 

Scientists who analyzed the latest video said the object emits an electromagnetic field, generates strong heat and may possess antigravity capabilities.

A mysterious metallic sphere was captured soaring above a field in Colombia, just two months after locals recovered a similar object many are calling a UFO

The footage, filmed on June 7 over a sugarcane field in Yumbo, shows the sphere darting in a zigzag pattern and maneuvering in ways that appear to defy conventional aircraft

'We believe these spheres are investigating, observing us, possibly searching for the first one recovered in Buga,' Maussan said in a translated statement.

'Could we be on the path to contact? That's the extraordinary question we're asking today.'

The first Buga sphere, recovered on March 2 by locals, weighed about 4.5 pounds and was described as 'having the temperature of a refrigerator when touched, but emitting strong heat when not.'

A team led by Guatemalan researcher Jose Manrique analyzed the Yumbo video and insisted it had been manipulated by A. 

If it is indeed identical to the first, the object may be inscribed with strange 'alien' writing, a message for humanity, which Manrique's team previously deciphered to say: 'The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.'

Manrique interpreted it as 'a message to humanity, encouraging a collective shift in consciousness to help Mother Earth, especially considering the current issues with pollution and environmental decline.'

The identities of the workers who filmed the Yumbo sphere have not been made public, but Maussan said the video was sent to David Vélez el Potro, a key figure in the recovery of the Buga sphere.

Scientists who analyzed the latest video said the object emits an electromagnetic field, generates strong heat and may possess antigravity capabilities

The latest sphere (left) appeared nearly identical to the first, recovered in Buga (right), about 43 miles from Yumbo.

Vélez el Potro told Maussan in March that the man who found it, Jose, felt sick for days after touching the object.

He also claimed that the government contacted him to hand it over the sphere, but he refused, saying, 'It would never be seen again.'

Instead, Vélez el Potro gave it to Maussan and his team of experts with hopes of them uncovering the sphere's origin. 

Scientists who examined the Buga sphere said it comprises 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus, a configuration some are calling 'a chip.'

However, Dr Julia Mossbridge of the University of San Diego Department of Physics and Biophysics, has doubted the authenticity of Buga sphere, calling it a 'man-made art project.' 

Pictured is David Velez el Potro who helped find the sphere

A team of scientists have recently analyzed the sphere using X-rays and conducted other tests to identify its origins

Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) recently released a new analysis, suggesting a strong, decayed ionized field emits from the Buga sphere.

 Rodolfo Garrido, a Mexican engineer, said his team weighed the sphere numerous times and were surprised to find it growing heavier, from 16 to 20 and then 22 pounds, without changing in size.

Garrido explained that this phenomenon may be due to the object's ability to manipulate gravity and generate its own electromagnetic field, allowing it to become lighter or heavier at will.

The revelations were presented on Maussan's TV program Interstellar, although the journalist's involvement has raised eyebrows. 

Maussan has previously made headlines for sensational, and subsequently debunked, claims, including mummified corpses and other supposed extraterrestrial finds. 

Nonetheless, the latest incident has captured the imagination of many and ignited a heated debate about what, or who, might be visiting us from the skies above.

Scientists are BAFFLED by mysterious radio signals coming from beneath Antarctica's ice

• READ MORE: Lost ancient world preserved under ice discovered in Antarctica

By WILIAM HUNTER

Scientists have discovered mysterious radio signals emerging from deep beneath Antarctica's ice.

The strange radio pulses were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), an array of instruments designed to detect elusive particles called neutrinos.

Rather than detecting these cosmic particles, the researchers were baffled to find signals emerging from the ice at seemingly impossible angles. 

Worryingly, they have no idea what could be causing them.

In a paper, published in Physical Review Letters, an international team of researchers explained that these findings cannot be explained by the current understanding of particle physics.

This might mean there are entirely new forms of particles and interactions at play or that these unusual signals are the product of mysterious dark matter.

Dr Stephanie Wissel, an astrophysicist from The Pennsylvania State University who worked on the ANITA team, says: 'The radio waves that we detected were at really steep angles, like 30 degrees below the surface of the ice.

'It's an interesting problem because we still don't actually have an explanation for what those anomalies are.'

Scientists have been baffled to discover mysterious radio signals emerging from deep beneath Antarctica's ice

The ANITA experiment was designed to hunt for an elusive type of particle called a neutrino, the smallest of all the subatomic particles.

Neutrinos are typically created by high-energy events like the Big Bang or a supernova and are extremely common throughout the universe.

However, since they are so small and don't have a charge, they don't affect the objects they pass through, which makes them extremely difficult to spot.

Dr Wissel says: 'You have a billion neutrinos passing through your thumbnail at any moment, but neutrinos don't really interact.

'So, this is the double-edged sword problem. If we detect them, it means they have travelled all this way without interacting with anything else. We could be detecting a neutrino coming from the edge of the observable universe.'

Like opening a time capsule from the distant past, examining the signal from a neutrino could reveal more information about the cosmos than data from the world's most powerful telescopes.

To try and find them, the ANITA experiment uses balloons floating 18 to 24 miles (30-39km) above the Antarctic, where other signals are rare, to look for radio waves caused by neutrinos hitting the ice.

'We point our antennas down at the ice and look for neutrinos that interact in the ice, producing radio emissions that we can then sense on our detectors,' says Dr Wissel.

The signals were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), an array of instruments designed to detect elusive particles called neutrinos 

This experiment's sensor balloons detected radio signals emerging from beneath the ice at such steep angles that they could not have been made by neutrinos 

Just as a ball thrown to the ground will always bounce at a particular angle, scientists can use the trajectory of these signals to track the neutrino back to its origin.

However, the scientists were shocked to discover a set of signals which could not be traced back to any possible origin. 

These radio signals were coming from the the ice at an impossibly steep angle, something that a neutrino-produced signal could never do.

Even stranger, rather than bouncing off the ice, the pulses appear to be coming from below the horizon.

That would mean the radio waves would have had to travel through thousands of miles of rock and ice before reaching ANITA's balloons, which should have rendered them undetectable.

After analysing the data from multiple flights and comparing it to simulations of cosmic rays, the researchers were able to filter out the background noise.

However, after eliminating the possibility of any other known particle-based signals, the anomalous radio pulses remained stubbornly unexplained.

Additionally, other detectors, the IceCube Experiment and the Pierre Auger Observatory didn't detect anything that could explain what the scientists were seeing.

Scientists currently don't know what is causing these signals to emerge or how they can pass through so much rock and ice. It could be a new type of particle interaction or the interference of dark matter (stock image) 

According to scientists' current understanding of how particles interact, these signals shouldn't be possible.

This has led scientists to speculate that they may have stumbled onto a type of particle interaction previously unknown to science.

Dr Wissel says: 'My guess is that some interesting radio propagation effect occurs near ice and also near the horizon that I don't fully understand, but we certainly explored several of those, and we haven't been able to find any of those yet either.

'So, right now, it's one of these long-standing mysteries.'

To learn more, scientists are currently building an even bigger detector, dubbed PUEO, which will be better at spotting hidden particles.

That could help scientists understand the origins of these baffling signals from beneath the ice.

Dr Wissel concludes: 'I'm excited that when we fly PUEO, we'll have better sensitivity. In principle, we should pick up more anomalies, and maybe we'll actually understand what they are.'

Life Found On Mars! Mushrooms Found By Curiosity Rover, UFO UAP Sighting Breaking News.

Date of discovery: June 15, 2025

Location of discovery: Sol 398, Curiosity rover

Source photo: 

• https://mars.nasa.gov/raw_images/97629/?site=msl__

Now this is strange. I was looking through the NASA site and found a mushroom on the bottom center of the photo. I'm not sure how or why NASA could overlook such a thing...since NASA's mission it to find life on other planets and moons. This object has a curved bottom part of a stem, same as those on Earth...in my yard actually too. The top is round, uneven and wrinkled...same as the ones in my front yard. This one has clearly pushed up out of the Mars dirt, you can see below the cap is an empty area without dirt, because the cap pushed it all aside when growing. Did you know that mushroom spores can live in the harsh environment of space and may have traveled to Maras this way? NASA should have poked it, bumped it, knocked it over, cut it open with their tools on Curiosity rover or at least use that million dollar laser they burn rocks and dirt with in many photos. It would be great if NASA took some time-lapse photos of it so we can see if it changes over a few days time. The photo is about 13 cm across, because this is a hand lens image, and the mushroom cap is about 1.5 cm and 1.5 cm tall. Life...has been found!

Mysterious 'flying saucer' in the Sahara Desert is discovered on Google Maps – as baffled viewers suggest it could be a crashed UFO

• READ MORE: Aliens MUST exist beyond Earth, leading scientist insists

By WILIAM HUNTER

From a mysterious 'doorway' in the Antarctic to hidden symbols in the Gobi Desert, Google Maps has revealed some weird and wonderful secrets over the years.

But this latest discovery might be one of the strangest yet.

Keen-eyed internet sleuths have spotted what seems to be a 'flying saucer' buried in the Sahara Desert.

According to some baffled viewers, the unusual structure could be a crashed UFO that has been buried for thousands of years.

The mysterious object is located near the tiny town of Bordj Omar Driss, Algeria, deep within the Sahara Desert.

UFO hunter Scott Waring, who made the strange discovery, told MailOnline: 'It's likely the UFO has been there for tens of thousands of years, predating recorded human history.

'I also want to note, that the CIA and other organizations will have people try to label any discoveries of UFOs on Google Earth Map as something else in order to manipulate and deceive the public from knowing the truth.'

Unfortunately for these alien hunters, experts say there is a much simpler explanation.

A mysterious 'flying saucer' has been spotted in the Sahara Desert, sparking suggestions that it might be a crashed alien craft 

The site is located near the tiny town of Bordj Omar Driss, Algeria, and was spotted on Google Maps 

The odd structure was spotted on Google Maps at the coordinates 28°8'45.15'N 6°48'20.85'E.

In a video sharing his findings, Mr Waring claims that the 'UFO' is buried 34.4 feet (10.5m) according to Google Earth Pro's elevation measuring tools.

Mr Waring told MailOnline that, at the Sahara's sediment accumulation rate of 0.5 mm per year, the 'UFO' must have landed 21,000 years ago to be buried so deeply.

He also points to the fact that the structure isn't present in early satellite images of the site, suggesting that it must have been 'excavated' recently.

On social media, Mr Waring's surprising comments have found widespread support, as commenters rushed to share their excitement.

One enthusiastic commenter wrote: 'I would love to know the whole story but this definitely looks like a crash site or something considering it popped up on the map out of nowhere.'

'I wonder whether some bodies have been found... This is so weird,' added another.

While one conspiratorially minded commenter wrote: 'Take screen shots everyone, cause you know Google is going to make this disappear.'

An alternative satellite view of the structure from an earlier period shows that more development has taken place around it recently 

UFO enthusiasts have speculated that the structure could be a crashed alien spaceship which has been buried in the desert for thousands of years

(stock image)

Adding fuel to the flames of speculation, Mr Waring adds: 'The UFO seems to have been torn open around the lower center dome. Possibly to enter the craft in order to loot it before government officials get hold of it.'

However, the real explanation for this strange site is much more mundane.

Nick Pope, former UFO investigator for the Ministry of Defence, told MailOnline: 'With the recent expansion in the capabilities of AI, it's increasingly difficult to ensure that images haven't been faked, or doctored.

'But even assuming the picture is genuine and not altered in any way, it's impossible to tell much from the image alone.

'There's no context, and applying the principle of Occam's Razor - that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one - this is more likely to be a circular building or structure of some sort than a crashed alien spacecraft.'

And, thanks to the work of some online investigators, we actually know exactly what kind of building this is.

The 'mysterious' structure is actually just the foundation for an onshore wind turbine.

Before the tower is added, these huge reinforced concrete structures are dug deep into the ground which would explain why the structure appears to be below the surface.

However, this structure is likely to be nothing more than the foundation for an onshore wind turbine (pictured) which have a classic 'flying saucer' shape 

Seen side by side, aerial photographs of a confirmed wind turbine foundation (left) and the supposed UFO (right) show how similar the two are 

A little to the southwest of the 'UFO', you can see another wind turbine under construction which has more of the tower added

With a classic 'flying saucer' shape of a round body and central dome, it is easy to see how someone might mistake these structures for a UFO.

But looking at aerial photographs of known wind turbines you can see that this Saharan structure is almost certainly the base of another wind turbine.

In other satellite images of the location, this similarity is even clearer.

Likewise, as UFO analyst and sceptic Mick West points out, there is another foundation just to the southwest where the tower of the wind turbine has already started construction.

Algeria, where these were found, is currently undergoing a major investment in wind power, with the government aiming to produce 27 per cent of its electricity from renewable resources by 2035.

The country also has some of the world's greatest potential for wind power with consistent wind speeds of up to eight metres per second in many regions.

This makes it a lot more likely that there would be a wind turbine under construction than a secret, ancient UFO hidden beneath the desert.

Unfortunately, UFO investigators say wild claims like these actually interfere with their search for extraterrestrial life.

UFO researcher Philip Mantle, told MailOnline: 'The vast majority of UFO sighting reports including photos and video end up having a rational explanation.

'Then there is an amount that just doesn't have enough info to reach a conclusion. 

'This leaves only a very small minority that may be left for serious examination.

'Photos like this are not to be taken seriously and rank alongside stories that Elvis is still alive and he lives with Lord Lucan.'

Shapeshifting UFO Over Sacramento No Kings Protests, California June 14, 2025, UAP Drone Sighting News.

Date of sighting: June 14, 2025

Location of sighting: Sacramento, California, USA

Source: Email Report at scwaring @ yahoo.com 

 

Guys this is so cool. It's not often we get a shapshifing UFO. They are mostly reported seen in Central and South America. This one seems to have been flying over the area due to the No Kings protests going on about US President Trump. I believe the aliens are watching the protests in order to gather data not just on that days activities, but to use the data for the big picture...to predict the political future and direction of the United States. I love how it changes shape and has this fuzzy static white glow all around it the whole time. This is rare.

Date of discovery: June 15, 2025

Location of discovery: 8°41'48"S 115°26'36"E

Location name: Jungutbatu, Bali island, Indonesia 

 

Now I have been to Bali island once about 15 years ago and its got a lot of mysterious cultural phenomenon that we in the US would not understand. I just loved it! I'm 70% sure this is an underwater city, because the only way to confirm that is to fly there and see for yourself diving. I remember seeing lots of ruins in Bali. But the long rectangles do resemble ancient homes foundations built side by side. This is a curious situation here. What ever it is...it's mind boggling. So many unknown things on the bottom of the ocean left to find.

Top 10 Little-Known UFO Sightings With Multiple Witnesses

Most UFO sightings are witnessed by only one person, which makes it harder to convince others that the sighting was not just a figment of someone’s imagination. However, some encounters take place in front of multiple witnesses—and this changes things entirely.

Even if these events are not alien in nature, the fact th/ /at so many people witnessed these incidents at the same time means that “something” took place. Perhaps more importantly, this suggests that these episodes are not purely the products of the imagination.

10 Lesser-Known UFO Crash Incidents

10. Hudson Valley Sightings - New York, Early 1980s

With Fourth of July celebrations fast approaching in late June 1983, part of the evening sky over New York’s Hudson Valley was awash with fireworks. This was the result of early Independence Day celebrators. Out of the mini explosions of color suddenly came a low humming sound that brought with it a huge disc-shaped craft “about the width of 16 or 17 houses!”

As it hovered over the witnesses, the strange humming ceased and the craft simply hung in the air in chilling silence. Several minutes after the UFO first appeared, the humming began again and the disc shot off at great speed.

This was just one of many UFO sightings in Hudson Valley in the early 1980s. But it was not the only one to have multiple witnesses to the event.

On March 24, 1983, there were so many reports of a sighting of a strange craft and weird lights in the sky of Yorktown that the town’s switchboard almost went into meltdown. That evening, the Taconic parkway became gridlocked with vehicles that had stopped suddenly. Their mesmerized drivers now stood beside their cars staring up at the assumed UFO passing over them.

9. Arthur Kill River Incident - New Jersey Turnpike, 2001

On the evening of July 14 and into the morning of July 15 in 2001, at least 15 people witnessed strange golden-orange lights over the Arthur Kill River at the New Jersey Turnpike. They appeared to be in a V-formation. However, it wasn’t clear from the many accounts if the lights were separate entities or if they belonged to one large V-shaped craft.

Others reported that the lights were in a more “scattered” formation and simply disappeared into the night sky one by one. Newark Airport was contacted, but they hadn’t detected anything abnormal on their radar. According to the National Weather Service, there was no unusual weather that evening, either.

Witness Veronica Bagley managed to capture the lights on video. Meanwhile, another witness, Patty Ercallino, stated that the whole incident was “very peaceful, very serene, and very beautiful.” She even believed that they had observed “some type of miracle!”

8. The Cosford Incident - Western England, 1993

According to UFO expert Nick Pope, over 100 people reported seeing a UFO on the evening of March 30 and into the early hours of March 31, 1993, over the west of England. What’s more, many observers were active police and military personnel. Pope worked on the case personally as was his remit during the time he spent with the British Ministry of Defense.

Most sightings described triangular craft that moved through the night sky at a blistering pace. One particular witness—a policeman—was with a group of scouts on the Quantock Hills in Somerset. They described the objects as “like two Concordes flying side by side and joined together!”

There were more reported sightings in Cornwall, Devon, and West Midlands as well as over two RAF bases in Shropshire—RAF Shawbury and RAF Cosford. Neither base managed to pick up the mysterious craft on radar. At the time, Pope described this in his report as being of “considerable defense significance” that should be investigated further.

7. Ellsworth Air Force Base Sighting - South Dakota, 1953

Numerous military personnel saw a UFO on the evening of August 5, 1953, near Ellsworth Air Force Base. There were also 45 concerned residents of nearby towns who witnessed the bizarre events.

The first sighting was reported just after 8:00 PM in the town of Blackhawk. Mrs. Kellian, a volunteer member of the Ground Observer Corp, had observed a strange glowing red light in the clear night sky.

As she was trained to do, she reported her sighting immediately. She was eventually put through to the on-duty radar operator at Ellsworth Air Force Base.

The craft was picked up on radar clearly heading toward the base. An F-84 jet fighter on patrol in the area was directed toward the object. As the F-84 got to within 5 kilometers (3 mi) of the disc-like craft, the UFO moved away fast.

Although the F-84 attempted to give chase, it was unable to match the UFO’s speed and returned to Ellsworth. A second F-84 made its way to the area. The pilot confirmed that he could visually see the object. Also unable to keep up with the UFO, the F-84 suffered strange malfunctions of his aircraft.

6. Exeter - New Hampshire, 1965

Norman Muscarello was hitchhiking home to Exeter, New Hampshire, in the early hours of September 3, 1965. Patiently making his way along Route 150 as he looked out for his next potential ride, Muscarello noticed a strange light in the dark early morning sky. Within seconds, the light was heading straight toward him.

Fearing that he would be struck by the strange craft, Muscarello flung himself to the ground on the roadside. However, at the last moment, the UFO changed direction. Muscarello got up and fled the area as quickly as he could.

Around an hour earlier a short distance away, Eugene Bertrand, an on-duty policeman, had come across a parked vehicle on the side of the road. Inside sat a woman who frantically informed Bertrand that she had been chased by a “flying object.”

However, Bertrand assured the woman that there was no cause for concern. Genuinely believing that the lady had been mistaken, he went on his way.

It was around 3:00 AM by the time Muscarello made his way to the Exeter Police Station. Shortly after, Bertrand returned and listened to the story himself. He then drove the young man back to Route 150 to investigate.

After parking on the same stretch of road, the two men soon spotted the strange craft. As it had done before, the object moved closer to the pair. Unnerved, the two men quickly made their way back to the police car. A short time later, calls about more sightings began to flood in.

5. The Greifswald Lights - Germany, 1990

Strange spherical lights had been reported regularly from the coast along the Baltic Sea from the beginning of August 1990. By August 24, the lights appeared to have moved inland and were reported by residents of Greifswald, a coastal town in eastern Germany.

At first, the strange spheres hovered in the air almost motionless for around 30 minutes. Many witnesses managed to capture photographs and even video footage. The case is regarded as one of the best-documented UFO sightings.

It seemed to consist of two separate sets of lights. The first set formed a circle and remained largely still. When they did move, they moved as one. The second set of lights seemed to be in the shape of a Y. Of more import, they appeared to move freely of each other.

Neither the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) nor mainstream scientists have been able to offer a solid or satisfactory explanation.

4. Fort Beaufort - South Africa, 1972

Bennie Smit believed without a doubt that he and his workers had witnessed a strange craft over his farm on June 26, 1972. However, he firmly believed that they had seen a top secret military craft and not visitors from another world.

Smit’s farm sat about 16 kilometers (10 mi) away from Fort Beaufort, a town in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. On that June morning, Smit found his workers cowering in a shed on the farm. They claimed that something strange was hovering above the trees in one of the fields.

Smit went to investigate and did indeed see a strange object. The farmer promptly fired at it with his .303 rifle. He maintained that his aim was correct and that he did hit the target. The bullets, however, had no effect.

Smit contacted the local police, who arrived just in time to see the craft landing on the ground. The UFO appeared to be the same shape as an oil drum, with three distinct “legs” underneath it.

One of the policemen, Sergeant Kitching, also fired his weapon at the craft. The UFO appeared to react to the discharge this time. The strange object began to change color from black to green. Then it turned yellow before finally becoming a pale white.

The witnesses heard a “whirring” sound before the craft took off from the field and vanished.

3. Sighting Over Houston Goes Viral Online - Houston, Texas, 2014

On August 11, 2014, hundreds of people in Houston saw a circle of lights in the evening sky. Pictures spread like wildfire over social media accounts. When video footage of the encounter was made available on the Internet, however, it became apparent that the lights were moving independently and were not a static circle.

Dr. Carolyn Sumners of the Houston Museum of Natural Science cautioned that no one should assume that the strange object was an alien visitor. With UFO sightings, she stated, we need to figure out what else it could be instead of aliens. However, no official explanation or theory has since been made available.

Witnesses to the event have their own theories about it. Not surprisingly, many believe that the lights were indeed extraterrestrial in origin. However, others think they saw a government drone or even the reflection of lights from a nearby football stadium.

2. Mass UFO Sighting During Baseball Game - Vancouver, Canada, 2013

During a minor league baseball game between the Vancouver Canadians and the Everett AquaSox in 2013, hundreds of people had their attention drawn away from the game as a strange object appeared over the field.

The UFO had a triangular shape with lights around its edges. Even the players seemed to notice the aerial anomaly. One spoke on social media after the contest about the “alien spaceship” that had been seen.

Many photographs and videos soon surfaced online, although no official explanation was initially offered. A local newspaper, however, speculated that the UFO could have been—and most likely was—a remote-control helicopter.

But the truth about this “UFO” was revealed just a couple of weeks later. The whole thing was a marketing ploy to publicize a new planetarium theater at the H.R. MacMillan Space Center in Vancouver.

Maybe that’s why Vancouver had more UFO sightings in 2013 than any other Canadian city.

1. The Trindade UFO Incident - 1958

In October 1957, the Brazilian navy set up a scientific research base on the island of Trindade. By January 1958, they were witness to some of the most bizarre UFO sightings of the 20th century.

Upon establishing the base, personnel began to report strange silvery objects that seemed to be observing their actions. On the morning of New Year’s Day 1958, the entire garrison witnessed a strange light passing overhead. The following evening, a glowing object circled around one of the navy ships for 10 minutes. It executed sudden and precise turns as it did so.

On January 6, Commander Carlos A. Bacellar launched a weather balloon. However, he realized that the signals it should have been emitting had suddenly stopped. When he looked at the sky, he saw the balloon being “sucked up” into a cloud and disappearing.

Ten minutes later, it reappeared, only without its instruments. A little while later, a silver object exited the same cloud and calmly made its way from the scene.

On January 16, the entire crew of a navy ship off the coast of the island witnessed a strange bright object. It was making its way over the ship and toward the island. One observer managed to take several photographs of the airborne craft. Once the photographs had been developed, they were promptly released to the press.

Het Multi-Witness 2003 Huntingdon-incident en de Discrete Indiana UFO-golf

Daags na Kerstmis 2003, in Huntingdon, Indiana, waren drie politieagenten getuige van een bizar luchtobject dat midden op de dag over de stad bewoog. Alle drie de getuigen zagen het object onafhankelijk van elkaar en vanop verschillende plaatsen. Hoewel het onbekend, blijkbaar nieuwsgierig object minder dan een minuut zichtbaar was, is de waarneming rijk aan details en, gezien de beroepsgroep van de getuigen, wordt het beschouwd als een geloofwaardige UAP-waarneming.

Hoewel de Huntingdon-ontmoeting werd gepubliceerd in lokale kranten, zou het al snel aan het licht komen dat verschillende waarnemingen van een bijna identiek object plaatsvonden in de Hoosier State binnen dezelfde tijdsperiode als de waarneming die door de drie politieagenten werd gerapporteerd, wat suggereert dat er een toename van waarnemingen discreet had plaatsgevonden in Indiana in de laatste weken van 2003.

Het incident kwam onder de bredere publieke aandacht via een artikel getiteld 'Het Object van Hun Ergernis' in de editie van 4 januari 2004 van The Herald-Press, en hoewel er sindsdien weinig extra aan het licht is gekomen, blijft het incident, zoals we zullen zien, van belang voor UFO-onderzoekers en -onderzoekers vandaag de dag..

Een Anomalie in de Lucht Op Een Koude Wintermiddag!

Het was rond 14:30 op een bijzonder koude wintermiddag op 26 december 2003 in Huntingdon, Indiana, toen de buiten dienst zijnde politieagent Chip Olinger de sleutel in het contact van zijn auto omdraaide om de motor op te warmen. Terwijl de motor soepel draaide tegen de harde winteromgeving van het Amerikaanse Midwesten, merkte Olinger iets ongewoons op in de heldere, blauwe decemberlucht.

Olinger verklaarde later aan de krant dat hij in eerste instantie dacht dat hij naar "een parachute die je kunt sturen" keek. (Het was) zwart en gebogen!" Nadat hij echter enige tijd naar de luchtanomalie had gekeken, realiseerde hij zich al snel dat er geen piloot was, wat uitsloot dat hij naar een parachute keek. Hij bleef kijken terwijl het object "een langzame rol" begon voordat het ondersteboven draaide, en nu leek het op "een enorme set vogelvleugels!" Deze rol ging door, terwijl het object leek te veranderen in iets "langwerpigs en oranje van kleur!"

Olinger greep onmiddellijk naar deze politieradio om de waarneming te melden aan de meldkamer van de politie van Huntingdon, evenals om te verzoeken dat andere beschikbare agenten proberen het object te lokaliseren en hun locatie te rapporteren. Slechts enkele momenten later gaven twee mede-politieagenten van Huntingdon – Greg Hedrick en Randy Hoover – aan dat zij het mysterieuze object ook konden zien.

Hedrick was in de keuken van het politiebureau toen hij de radionotificatie hoorde. Hij stapte naar buiten en zag meteen het vreemde object boven zich, later beweerde hij dat het eruitzag als een 'band in de lucht!' Hoover daarentegen verliet het politiebureau via de achterdeur toen Olinger's oproep binnenkwam. Hij keek onmiddellijk omhoog en verklaarde later dat het object 'zo groot was, dat ik het binnen de kortste keren opmerkte!' Hij legde uit dat het object leken te 'zweven (en) breed rond te draaien' voordat het in één positie bleef hangen en een feloranje kleur leek aan te nemen (hoewel we moeten opmerken dat alle getuigen het erover eens waren dat deze plotselinge oranje gloed waarschijnlijk de reflectie van de middagzon was in plaats van dat het vaartuig fysiek van kleur veranderde).

Vanaf zijn plaats van waarneming leek het voor Olinger dat het object "vast zou komen te zitten aan de toren van de kerk" terwijl het achter het gebouw verdween. In totaal was het object niet meer dan een minuut zichtbaar, waarschijnlijk eerder 45 seconden, voordat het uit het zicht verdween.

Een gebeurtenis die normaal gesproken "de noodlijnen zouden roodgloeiend doen staan!"

Verrassend genoeg waren op die koude decembermiddag de politieagenten zelf de enige getuigen van de vreemde gebeurtenissen. Olinger verklaarde dat hij dit extreem vreemd vond en dat dergelijke gebeurtenissen normaal gesproken "de noodlijnen zouden roodgloeiend doen staan!" Uiteindelijk werd er geen enkele 911-oproep gedaan door een andere publieke getuigen om het bizarre luchtobject te melden, en de drie politieagenten waren de enige getuigen van de merkwaardige gebeurtenissen. En het was Olinger – de agent die de anderen waarschuwde voor de aanwezigheid van het object – alleen die het vreemd object zag toen hij toevallig op dat moment in die richting keek.

De drie getuigen besloten, deels vanwege de enorme gebrek aan andere rapporten over het object, te stoppen met spreken over de gebeurtenissen en het stil te houden, uit angst dat ze het onderwerp van spot – of erger – zouden worden. Na slechts enkele dagen, echter, konden ze de gebeurtenissen niet uit hun gedachten zetten en besloten ze een officieel rapport op te stellen. Enkele dagen later verscheen het krantenartikel in de Herald-Press.

Alle drie de getuigen waren er zeker van dat ze die middag iets volkomen ongewoons hadden waargenomen. Ze legden uit dat ze er geen twijfel over hadden dat het object mechanisch van aard was en dat er "niets bekends was waarmee ze het konden associëren!" Hoover voegde eraan toe dat hij "nooit echt bang was, ik was gewoon volslagen verbaasd!"

Toen de dominee van de kerk waar het object boven zweefde om commentaar werd gevraagd, antwoordde hij dat dit "de eerste keer was dat hij ervan hoorde". Hij voegde eraan toe dat ze niet alleen niets ongewoons hadden gezien op de bewuste dag, maar dat ook geen van zijn parochianen hem had gemeld het merkwaardige object te hebben gezien. Ook toen de twee nabijgelegen vliegvelden – Huntingdon Municipal Airport en Fort Wayne Smith's Field – werden benaderd met de vraag of ze afwijkende radargegevens hadden voor de bewuste datum, antwoordden beiden dat ze niets hadden dat wees op iets "ongewoons" op de middag van 26 december 2003.

Hoewel de drie politieagenten die middag schijnbaar de enige getuigen waren van dit vreemde object boven Huntingdon, werden er in de periode tussen Kerstmis en Nieuwjaar van 2003 en begin 2004 verschillende andere soortgelijke meldingen van bizarre en mogelijk buitenaardse vaartuigen gemeld vanuit de hele staat Hoosier.

De waarneming in Dearborn

Hoewel de exacte datum niet bekend is, is een incident dat zich enkele weken vóór de waarneming in Huntingdon in Dearborn, Lawrenceberg County, begin tot half december afspeelde, onze aandacht waard. Volgens het rapport liep een anonieme buurtbewoner rond 19.00 uur op de bewuste avond met zijn hond rond toen hij een extreem helder, gloeiend object aan de donkere hemel zag.

Wat vooral interessant was, zowel voor de getuige als voor de buurtbewoners die later van zijn waarneming hoorden, is dat dit de derde waarneming van hetzelfde vaartuig boven Dearborn in de afgelopen dagen was. Beide eerdere waarnemingen resulteerden erin dat het vreemde licht simpelweg over de hemel bewoog en in de verte verdween. Die avond bleef het gloeiende object echter zichtbaar. Sterker nog, het leek de getuige alsof het hen naar huis volgde.

De getuige zette zijn wandeling voort en kwam uiteindelijk thuis aan. Hij ging naar binnen en bleef daar twee of drie minuten. Vervolgens besloot hij naar buiten te gaan, naar zijn tuin, om te kijken of het object nog steeds zichtbaar was. Tot zijn verbazing zweefde het object bijna recht boven hem op een hoogte van ongeveer 150 meter.

Na de melding zou blijken dat een tiener uit de buurt en een vrouw het object tegelijk met de hoofdgetuige hadden gezien, elk vanaf een andere locatie. Wat het precies was, blijft echter een compleet mysterie.

Het incident bij Lake Monroe

Slechts twee dagen voor de waarneming boven Huntingdon, rond 19.00 uur op kerstavond in Heltonville, werd er opnieuw een afwijkend object gemeld. De hoofdgetuige – wederom een ​​anonieme persoon – was op hun terrein "net ten zuiden van Lake Monroe" bezig met wat werkzaamheden aan het gebouw voordat ze er in het nieuwe jaar zouden intrekken. Ze werkten in de badkamer, met het enige licht in de kamer dat door een dakraam in het plafond viel, en nu de zon allang weg was, was dat licht minimaal.

Plotseling echter lichtte de hele kamer plotseling op "alsof het daglicht was!" De bron van dit plotseling verschijnende licht kwam duidelijk van buiten, en de getuige, nu even geïntrigeerd als wat dan ook, pakte zijn jas en liep naar de tuin. Zodra ze naar buiten stapten, veranderde de zenuwachtigheid die in hen opkwam in een gevoel van complete shock. Daar, recht boven hun hoofd, bewoog een "blauwachtig-witachtige schijf" zich langzaam door de lucht, ongeveer 60 meter boven de grond. De gloed van dit object zorgde ervoor dat het buitengebied leek op "daglicht", waarbij de hele directe omgeving baadde in de witte gloed.

De getuige bleef toekijken hoe het object over het hoofd vloog en richting het nabijgelegen bos ging. Terwijl het dat deed, schoten "felle lichten" van onderaf het bos in. De getuige bleef buiten en observeerde het object totdat het in de verte verdween. Net als bij de andere waarnemingen die we hier hebben onderzocht, werd er nooit een verklaring gegeven voor het bizarre vaartuig.

Een geval van computerinterferentie – De waarneming in Tipton County

Bijna precies een week later, op oudejaarsavond 2003 – en slechts vijf dagen na de waarneming bij daglicht in Huntingdon – vond er opnieuw een bizarre gebeurtenis plaats in Kimpton, Tipton County. Rond 19:30 uur op de bewuste avond was de getuige – een anonieme computerreparateur – bij een klant thuis, midden in een computerreparatie, toen zijn avond een dramatische wending nam.

Tijdens de reparaties merkten ze dat het computersysteem zich vreemd begon te gedragen. Ze verklaarden in hun rapport dat niet alleen de harde schijf van het systeem plotseling "niet meer reageerde", maar dat de "CMOS BIOS-instellingen (helemaal) verkeerd waren!" Ze stelden verder dat alleen iemand die fysiek de instellingen van de computer ingaat, tot dergelijk gedrag zou kunnen leiden. Aangezien de eigenaar van de computer een "complete beginner" was, was het onwaarschijnlijk dat ze iets hadden gedaan (of deden).

Op dat moment grapte de getuige met de klant of er recentelijk "UFO-activiteit" in de omgeving was geweest, en insinueerde dat dit de oorzaak zou kunnen zijn geweest van de bizarre activiteit die op het systeem werd weergegeven. Omdat het al laat werd en de nieuwjaarsviering al begon, bood de getuige aan het systeem mee terug te nemen zodat hij het volledig kon testen en het vervolgens weer volledig werkend aan de klant kon teruggeven, waarmee de klant akkoord ging.

Ze brachten het systeem samen naar de auto van de computerreparateur en plaatsten het op de achterbank. Terwijl ze dat deden, zagen ze echter een "fel wit licht" boven hun hoofd. Ze keken er beiden enkele ogenblikken naar voordat de bomen in de buurt hun zicht begonnen te belemmeren. De getuige nam afscheid van de klant en vertrok. In plaats van naar huis te gaan zoals gepland, besloot hij echter plotseling in de richting van het vreemde, gloeiende object te gaan.

Een object dat meer dan twee uur in zichtbaar bleef

De getuige bleef minutenlang in de richting van het object rijden, vastbesloten om precies te zien wat het was, en arriveerde uiteindelijk aan de rand van de stad. Hier, vlakbij het hoofdspoor, zetten ze hun voertuig aan de kant van de weg. Daar, recht voor hen – op een "zeer heldere nacht" – zweefde een "object ter grootte van een honkbal" in de lucht. Ze bleven enkele ogenblikken precies waar ze waren, zonder het object uit het oog te verliezen, bijna gefascineerd door het object.

Toen, zich herinnerend dat het oudejaarsavond was en dat ze eerdere afspraken hadden, dwongen ze zichzelf de auto opnieuw te starten en vertrokken naar huis. Het object bleef echter de hele rit zichtbaar – en toen het begon te "slingeren" en "loopings" begon te maken, brachten ze hun auto weer tot stilstand. Terwijl hij dat deed, merkte hij dat verschillende andere automobilisten ook hun auto's langs de kant van de weg hadden stilgezet, ogenschijnlijk om de gloeiende anomalie in de lucht beter te kunnen bekijken.

De getuige kwam uiteindelijk net op tijd thuis om zich om te kleden en zijn gasten te verwelkomen voor een afgesproken oudejaarsfeest. Zelfs op dat moment, vanuit het huis van de getuige, was het object nog steeds zichtbaar en duidelijk zichtbaar in de lucht. 's Avonds stelden de vrienden van de getuige voor om naar een club te gaan en daar het nieuwe jaar in te luiden. De getuige, die beweerde dat hij wat krap bij kas zat, spoorde zijn vrienden aan om te gaan en zei dat hij graag thuis wilde blijven. Zodra ze vertrokken waren, ging de getuige rechtstreeks naar zijn achtertuin.

Hoewel het een bijzonder koude nacht was, niet in de laatste plaats door het (inmiddels) late tijdstip, bleef hij meer dan twee uur in de tuin naar het object kijken. Hij merkte op dat het van kleur was veranderd, van een helder blauwwit naar een trots geeloranje. Rond 22:20 uur ging de telefoon. Aan de andere kant van de lijn zat een familielid die vroeg of hij hem om 23.00 uur kon ophalen bij een tankstation waar hij werkte. De getuige stemde toe en 20 minuten later, rond 22.40 uur, stapte hij in zijn auto en vertrok.

Op weg naar het tankstation realiseerde de getuige zich dat hij het object niet meer kon zien. Hij wist niet zeker of het verdwenen was of dat het zich net buiten zijn gezichtsveld bevond, afgesneden door de bomen. De getuige gaf echter in zijn verslag aan dat ze "dit (soort) object vrij vaak zien", meestal op weg naar huis van lessen die ze volgen in het nabijgelegen Indianapolis. Wat het object zou kunnen zijn en welke intelligentie erachter schuilgaat, blijft echter onbekend.

Weinig bekende waarnemingen die enorme inzichten bieden

De waarnemingen die we hier hebben beschreven, zijn zowel interessant als nuttig. Ten eerste lijkt het erop dat er in december 2003 een golf van waarnemingen plaatsvond boven Indiana – waarnemingen met opmerkelijk vergelijkbare details en die suggereerden dat dezelfde intelligentie – wat die intelligentie ook mag zijn – achter elk van hen schuilging. Ze dienen ook als herinnering dat dit soort pieken waarschijnlijk vaker voorkomen dan we denken. Het is bijvoorbeeld gemakkelijk dat deze meldingen verloren gaan als geïsoleerde, zelfs onbelangrijke waarnemingen. Wanneer we ze echter samen bekijken, zien we dat er zich eind 2003 iets vreemds afspeelde boven de staat Hoosier.

We zouden kunnen overwegen hoeveel andere waarnemingen alleen al in december 2003 vanuit Indiana ongerapporteerd bleven, hetzij uit desinteresse, hetzij uit angst voor spot. We zouden dat echter verder kunnen uitdiepen en bekijken hoeveel meer waarnemingen ongerapporteerd bleven, niet alleen in Amerika maar over de hele wereld, door de decennia heen. Als elke UFO-waarneming en -ontmoeting gedocumenteerd was en de gegevens veilig bewaard waren, zouden we wellicht ontdekken dat deze vreemde objecten – wat ze ook mogen zijn – veel vaker voorkomen in de hemel dan zelfs de UFO-gemeenschap zou denken.

De waarnemingen die we hier hebben onderzocht, zijn dan ook twee decennia later nog steeds belangrijk en interessant voor UFO-onderzoekers en -liefhebbers, en vormen een extra, zij het klein, onderdeel van het algehele beeld van UFO's en buitenaardse wezens.

OORDEEL VAN DE EXPERTEN
De centrale bewering draait om verschillende onverklaarbare waarnemingen in Indiana eind 2003, met als kern een spraakmakende zaak in Huntingdon, waarbij drie lokale politieagenten onafhankelijk van elkaar melding maakten van een merkwaardig object in de lucht. Voorstanders van het verhaal benadrukken de geloofwaardigheid van getuigen van de politie en het feit dat latere waarnemingen in de staat Indiana aan dezelfde afwijkende beschrijving leken te voldoen.

Tegenstanders en sceptici suggereren alledaagse verklaringen zoals reflecties, experimentele vliegtuigen of verkeerde identificaties van natuurverschijnselen. Hoewel er geen sluitend bewijs is gevonden – geen radarbevestigingen, fotografisch bewijs of grootschalige meldingen van burgers – maken consistente getuigenverklaringen het moeilijk om de zaak direct te verwerpen. Officiële verklaringen blijven schaars, waardoor de vraag open blijft of er werkelijk iets ongewoons is gebeurd in de lucht boven Indiana.

Uitspraak: Niet doorslaggevend
Meerdere geloofwaardige getuigenissen voeden het debat, maar de afwezigheid van solide bewijs staat definitieve conclusies in de weg.
