The British military thought there was ‘basis in fact’ to UFO sightings and wanted to get their hands on the ‘extraterrestrial’ technology, previously secret files show.

Confidential memos from the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) within the Ministry of Defence warned that ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ (UAP) were a ‘potential threat’ to the UK in the 1990s.

The documents – now in the National Archives in Kew – also reveal how Britain’s most well-known UFO sighting at Rendlesham Forest was ‘confirmed’ by US military personnel.

One internal correspondence from March 4, 1997 reads: ‘Logic would indicate that if significant numbers are reporting seeing strange objects in the sky then there may be a basis in fact.

‘It could be argued that UAPs pose a potential threat to the defence of the realm since we have no idea what they are!’

The report referenced reports in Belgium of low-flying back triangles

Intelligence officers appeared particularly concerned about the reports of large, silent, low-flying black triangles which came out of Belgium in their thousands between November 1989 and April 1990.

The reports sparked calls for Britain to try get hold of the technology.

The document noted: ‘A supplementary issue is the possibility of technology acquisition.

‘UAPs do not appear to use conventional reaction propulsion.

‘The Belgian deltas (confirmed by the country’s MoD) hovered for long periods and accelerated quickly to supersonic speeds, outrunning F-16s.

‘If this represents real technology perhaps it should be acquired.’

Another briefing letter, marked ‘Secret UK Eyes B’, acknowledged that the British military did not have the ‘reported technology’.

It added: ‘No matter the origin, the determination of the technology, and possible acquisition, is a matter for Defence Intelligence Staff [DIS].’

The correspondence added that ‘some reports described objects in terms of manoeuvre, speed and shape which lie beyond our engineering knowledge and that which could be reasonably expected from hostile powers.’

The file also stressed that most UFO reports were tenuous, with only a small number that could not be explained immediately.

The documents jokingly dismissed the possibility of alien life as part of fringe conspiracy theories.

The file reads: ‘Mention of UAPs is guaranteed to generate mirth and Little Green Men jokes, possibly because of the fringe element of “crazies”.’

Rendlesham Forest UFO sightings ‘confirmed’

A separate file from the British Military sheds new light on the Rendlesham Forest incident.

Dating back to December 1980, members of the US Air Force stationed at RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England, reported seeing unexplained lights and a craft in the forest.

Witnesses, including high-ranking officers, described seeing a glowing, metallic, triangular object hovering and emitting strange beams of light.

The document says that the Rendlesham Forest ‘landing’ was ‘confirmed by the US unit commander and others’.

It adds: ‘In both [Rendlesham Forest and Belgian] cases the UAP apparently did not use any conventional propulsion system and could hover as well as move at considerable speed.

‘The French have always had an interest in this topic … and I am aware that there is an informal intelligence grouping in the US.’

The sighting has fuelled decades of speculation and conspiracy theories ranging from alien encounters to secret military tests.More Trending

One UFO expert, Philip Mantle, told Metro he is convinced something happened over those fateful nights in 1980 – but doesn’t necessarily think aliens were involved.

The former Director of Investigations for the British UFO Research Association speculated that soldiers could have come into contact with ‘strange plasma’ that caused ‘electromagnetic effects’.

The previously secret file also claimed to have a ‘Moscow report’ that suggested ‘two military scientists are responsible for UFOs’.

Overview

The year 2025 concluded without any definitive breakthroughs in unraveling the mystery of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs. Despite a flurry of activity—including congressional hearings, increased public reports, and a surge in academic interest—no concrete evidence emerged to resolve the most compelling cases. Researchers emphasize that the lack of resolution in 2025 does not signal abandonment but highlights the urgent need for more rigorous scientific methods and a cultural shift away from dismissiveness. Historically, the stigma attached to UFO research has greatly hampered scientific engagement; now, however, there's growing recognition that multidisciplinary, transparent approaches are essential for progress.

The persistence of UAP mysteries underscores how complex and elusive these phenomena are. Governments, scientists, and private individuals agree that the phenomenon demands careful investigation, free from stereotypes, and requires better data collection infrastructure. With the right resources and an open scientific culture, the hope remains that some answers could be forthcoming in the years ahead.

Recent Developments

In the spring of 2025, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee held a highly publicized hearing dedicated specifically to UAP issues. Testimony was provided by former Pentagon officials involved in UAP programs, aerospace engineers, and intelligence analysts. For example, officials recounted witnessing objects that demonstrated extraordinary maneuvering capabilities—high-speed turns, low visibility, and silent flight—over restricted military airspace such as the Nevada Test and Training Range. Witnesses described observing objects seemingly defying known aeronautical physics, some rotating or accelerating rapidly without apparent propulsion. Interestingly, many of these encounters were corroborated by radar data and multiple sensor sources, lending credibility to the reports.

Despite the compelling testimony, the committee’s final report concluded that “the data currently available are insufficient to determine the nature or intent of these phenomena.” This pointed to gaps in sensor resolution, inconsistent data collection methods, and the absence of a systematic analytical framework. As a result, the government maintained a cautious stance, neither confirming nor dismissing the phenomena outright. The hearing's significance lay in its acknowledgment of the phenomena’s reality and the importance of scientific rigor in investigation.

Parallel to the congressional efforts, civilian reporting platforms experienced a significant uptick in sightings, especially near sensitive military and government sites. Sightings near the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is heavily monitored for nuclear testing, increased by 27%. Other hotspots included the Pacific Missile Range Facility and sites in California and Florida. The increased reporting underscores growing public concern and curiosity, but also accentuates the need for detailed, high-quality sensor data. Defense analysts noted that many reports lacked high-resolution imagery or radar data necessary for scientific validation, impairing the ability to distinguish between natural atmospheric phenomena and potentially engineered objects.

Ongoing Research Initiatives

Recognizing the data scarcity problem, two initiatives gained prominence in 2025 as systematic efforts to collect high-quality observational data. The first is the Galileo Project, founded by Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb. Modeled initially on the detection protocols used for exoplanet discovery, the project deploys an extensive network of optical and radio telescopes designed to capture fleeting aerial events. Its aim is to observe UAP with repeatability, precision, and scientific scrutiny. For instance, during a recent campaign, the project observed a rapid, bright flash in the night sky that later proved to be natural: a rare atmospheric lightning event termed "sprites." Such incidents demonstrate the project’s capacity to differentiate natural atmospheric events from anomalies.

Complementing Galileo, the AllSkyCAM Consortium, led by atmospheric scientist Dr. Emily B. Wilson at the University of Arizona, installed over 200 low-cost, wide-field cameras across the United States. These cameras operate continuously, streaming data to an open-access repository. The system’s software employs machine learning algorithms to automatically flag unusual light signatures, such as abrupt flickering or unusual colorings, which could indicate an anomalous aerial object. Wilson explains, “Our goal is democratizing data collection; by sharing raw data openly, we reduce reliance on anecdotal accounts and enable scientists worldwide to test hypotheses about UAP origin and behavior.” This collaborative approach broadens the scientific community’s ability to analyze phenomena with high transparency.

While preliminary datasets have been shared in scientific journals like Physical Review Letters and Astronomy & Astrophysics, no definitive conclusions have emerged yet. However, the importance of transparency and standardization in methodology marks a departure from previous secrecy-driven efforts, fostering broader scientific engagement and validation.

Challenges: Stigma and Funding

Despite promising developments, researchers confront significant obstacles rooted primarily in cultural stigma and limited funding. Historically, the topic has been dismissed as fringe or pseudoscience, leading to reluctance among mainstream scientists to participate or seek research grants. A 2025 survey conducted by the Center for Scientific Inquiry into UAP (“CSIU”) found that 68% of physicists view UAP research as “fringe,” and many are wary of associating with the field due to fear of reputational damage or skepticism from peers.

Funding remains scarce, with federal agencies allocating limited resources—roughly $12 million from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for UAP-specific research in FY 2025. By comparison, satellite surveillance programs receiving military and intelligence support alone amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars. Private philanthropy has played a role; the Galileo Project received a $5 million endowment from the X-Prize Foundation, and AllSkyCAM secured a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Emerging Frontiers program. Nonetheless, these resources are short-term and insufficient for sustained, longitudinal research needed to distinguish rare natural phenomena—such as unusual atmospheric optics, rare meteorological conditions, or rare biological effects—from potential engineered objects capable of advanced flight.

The stigma deters many talented scientists from engaging with the field, fearing professional ostracism or ridicule. Dr. Mark S. Patel of CSIU warns that this environment of marginalization hampers scientific progress. He emphasizes that increasing open dialogue and integrating UAP research into the broader scientific framework can help overcome these barriers.

Outlook for 2026

Looking ahead, cautious optimism emerges within the research community. The Department of Defense announced plans in early 2026 to establish a UAP Data Integration Office, tasked with standardizing sensor data formats and encouraging cooperation across military branches and civilian agencies. This move aims to create a cohesive operational environment for tracking and analyzing aerial anomalies in real time.

On the international level, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has convened a working group to develop standardized guidelines for reporting aerial anomalies—an approach akin to the protocols used for meteoritic and atmospheric research. These steps could enable a more systematic, scientifically rigorous approach to UAP data collection and analysis, elevating the field from anecdotal evidence to credible scientific inquiry.

Moreover, technological advancements—such as deploying larger, more sensitive telescopes, space-based observatories, and machine learning-enabled data processing—may dramatically improve detection capabilities. As researcher Dr. Avi Loeb pointed out, “We are at the beginning of turning curiosity into a testable science. The current limitations are substantial but addressable with the right institutional support and technological innovation.”

In sum, 2026 could be a pivotal year for UAP research, provided that institutional reforms, increased funding, and cultural shifts continue to evolve. The scientific community remains committed to the pursuit of truth, acknowledging that the path remains uncertain but promising. The journey to understand these mysterious phenomena continues—perhaps not in answering all questions, but in refining the questions we ask and the methods we use to seek their answers.

Pope 'preparing' for first contact with aliens this year, says UFO researcher

British filmmaker says he has been given 'rare access' to the Vatican's secret archives and that the Church is getting ready for ET

BY Ashley Pemberton - News Reporter and Daniel Smith

A British documentary maker claims the Vatican could be bracing itself for the prospect of an extraterrestrial encounter, with the Pope potentially addressing "first contact" with aliens in the coming year.

UFO researcher Mark Christopher Lee claims to have secured "rare access" to the Vatican's confidential archives and is investigating historical accounts of unexplained occurrences that may shed light on humanity's interaction with alien civilisations.

He suggests the Catholic Church is already contemplating the theological and spiritual ramifications of discovering extraterrestrial life.

Lee explained: "I've been given rare access to the Vatican's secret archives. I'll be looking for any historical references to unexplained phenomena, spiritual encounters, or anything that could shed light on humanity's possible contact with intelligent life beyond Earth.

"If we are close to confirming intelligent life beyond Earth, no institution will feel the shockwaves more than the Catholic Church.", reports the Daily Star.

"The new Pope could become the first spiritual leader in history to address First Contact - and I intend to find out how prepared the Church really is."

He questioned: "Could the Church have been quietly preparing for this moment all along - and what might the new Pope reveal when the truth is finally confronted?"

In his latest documentary God Vs Aliens, Lee contends that UFO encounters and paranormal events are connected, and maintains the Church may be considerably more receptive to the existence of extraterrestrials than most people realise.

Lee said: "Faith and prophecy have always guided humanity. Now, with UFO disclosure and global interest at an all-time high, these forces are converging in a way that has never happened before. 2026 could be the year everything changes."

Vatican astronomers have historically maintained that the existence of extraterrestrial life wouldn't contradict Christian faith. Back in 2008, Father Gabriel Funes suggested that intelligent beings created by God might exist beyond Earth.

In an article for the Vatican newspaper, he wrote: "Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures over the earth, so there could be other beings, even intelligent (beings), created by God.

"This is not in contradiction with our faith, because we cannot establish limits to God's creative freedom. To say it with St Francis, if we can consider some earthly creatures as 'brothers' or 'sisters', why could we not speak of a 'brother alien'? He would also belong to the creation."

More recently, Pope Leo XIV's newly appointed astronomer revealed he would be willing to baptise an alien, describing extraterrestrials as "children of God."

Father Richard D'Souza, who currently heads the Vatican Observatory near Rome, argued that theology would need to "reimagine itself" should humanity ever encounter intelligent life. He said: "They are all part of God's creation. The question would be how to reach them or how they would reach us."

EXCLUSIVE - The five unsolved mysteries of 2025 that captivated the world... from a UFO surviving a hellfire missile to a 'vast city' under Egypt's pyramids

By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR

As 2025 comes to a close, several mysteries that left the world in stunned disbelief still have yet to be fully explained.

The past 12 months have read like a science-fiction novel, with thousands of UFOs swarming over the US East Coast, an interstellar visitor invading our solar system, and the potential discovery of giant columns under the Egyptian pyramids.

Moreover, scientists and government officials have been unable to disprove all of the wild theories surrounding many of these jaw-dropping events, including one respected scientist's claim that the giant space rock 3I/ATLAS may be an alien craft.

This roller-coaster year actually got off to a running start with the mysterious appearance of drone swarms over the US starting in late 2024, including over then-candidate for president Donald Trump's golf course in New Jersey.

1. The New Jersey drone sightings 

The bizarre drone sightings along the East Coast started in November 2024, with hundreds of people issuing reports to the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) tracking website Enigma Labs before 2025 even began.

Once the new year rang in, the concerning sightings continued, causing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to put a temporary ban on flying drones in 22 New Jersey towns in January.

The ban did little to stop the sightings, with many Americans spotting 'car-sized drones' making no noise as they invaded the airspace of local military bases and Trump's property.

On his first day back in the Oval Office, Trump said he would start investigating the mysterious drone activity and put his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, on the case. 

Thousands of reports of large, silent drones (Pictured) over New Jersey and sensitive sights along the East Coast started in November 2024 and carried into 2025

The eventual reveal by the White House raised more questions than answers, as the president declared that the drones were 'not the enemy' and had been authorized by the US government to conduct 'research.'

In fact, the FAA failed to mention that drones had been cleared to conduct this alleged research and claimed the objects were 'lawful commercial drones and helicopters.'

To this day, the origin of the drone swarms, their targets over New Jersey and the rest of the East Coast, and their research remain a mystery.

However, an unnamed private firm contracted by the US military eventually took responsibility for the mysterious drone swarms, claiming they were conducting tests of their advanced aerial craft, according to off-the-record comments at an Army summit in August 2025.

2. The Buga sphere

Just weeks after the US drone swarm crisis, an alleged alien probe in South America was not only caught on video, but was recovered from a crash site in Colombia.

Named the Buga sphere, after the city it flew over in March, the strange hovering object was seen striking a power line and landing in a field, where local David Velez el Potro found it and refused to hand it over to the Colombian government.

Scientists who examined the alleged space probe found that it contained a maze of fiber-optic wires and emitted some form of energy that killed the soil and grass it touched and made people sick.

It was also covered in symbols that researchers compared to ancient scripts, including runes, Ogham, and Mesopotamian writing systems - although some skeptical scientists have dismissed the object as an elaborate art project.

The Buga Sphere (Pictured) was recovered by local residents in Colombia in March and has been in the care of scientists in Mexico ever since

Eventually, the Buga sphere was taken to Mexico City for further study by ufologists and other scientists. 

In June, Dr Steven Greer, an American ufologist and retired physician, claimed on X that 'fake policemen' attempted to enter the vault where the suspected UFO was being kept.

Since then, little information has been released about the Buga sphere, which researchers have called the first UFO recovered by private citizens and solely controlled by non-government scientists.

3. Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS

In the summer of 2025, another alleged alien visitor quickly moved into our solar system, marking only the third recorded object to enter our system from elsewhere in the cosmos.

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was discovered in early July, with most astronomers quickly moving to declare the visitor a comet, a fast-moving ice ball from a distant solar system.

NASA and the European Space Agency have both declared 3I/ATLAS a comet, but have been criticized for their lack of high-quality images of the space rock compared to photos taken by amateurs using backyard telescopes. 

Moreover, esteemed Harvard physicist Avi Loeb pointed out that the object was no ordinary comet, revealing at least 12 different abnormalities that suggested that the three-mile-long object may have been artificially created by an alien intelligence.

Those clues included having a comet's tail which is facing in the wrong direction of the sun, known as an anti-tail, suggesting the stream is actually exhaust from an engine that's guiding the object through space.

'There are still many unresolved anomalies of 3I/ATLAS. Each of these anomalies has less than a percent random chance and no explanation so far,' Loeb told the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

Loeb added that there's still more time to find out the true origins of 3I/ATLAS, which will pass Jupiter on March 16, 2026.

It has strangely shifted its course to perfectly align with the Lagrange points of Jupiter, a 'parking spot' in space where the gravity of the sun and Jupiter cancel each other out, so the object is not pulled apart.

'It would be interesting to check whether 3I/ATLAS releases any devices as satellites at the Lagrange points,' Loeb added.

Stargazers recently captured brand new clear images of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS (Pictured) using lower quality telescopes compared to those used by NASA

4. 'Vast city' under Egypt's Giza pyramids

A discovery that has been unfolding all year may rewrite the origins of the ancient Egyptians forever. 

In March, Italian researchers claimed to have uncovered 'a vast underground city' which stretches more than 4,000 feet directly underneath the Pyramids of Giza, making them 10 times larger than the pyramids themselves.

The bombshell claim, which many experts claim to have already debunked, came from a study that used radar pulses to create high-resolution images deep into the ground beneath the structures, the same way sonar radar is used to map the depths of the ocean.

In July, the same team identified a colossal vertical shaft leading to two chambers below the Sphinx.

While mainstream archaeologists have slammed the work as unscientific and speculative, the team insists their latest scans point to something extraordinary.

However, the physical proof that these structures really exist has not been presented yet, and answers to what their mysterious purpose may have been did not come in 2025.

Heading into 2026, the research team is hoping to receive permission to dig under both major structures to find traces of the hidden city. They've also submitted a formal proposal for non-invasive access, such as clearing existing shafts at the site.

Scientists used advanced technology to see beneath the three pyramids at Giza, finding evidence of a 'vast underground city' beneath

5. US government weighs UFO and alien disclosure

This year also brought multiple bombshells when it comes to the discussion over UFOs and extraterrestrial life, with the US government reportedly moving closer than ever before to full disclosure of classified reports on aliens.

In September, a panel of US military veterans testified before Congress as whistleblowers into the activities of secret government programs that allegedly had proof that UFOs and extraterrestrials were real.

In one shocking video, the public was shown a US military drone actually firing a Hellfire missile at a UFO, only to see the weapon harmlessly bounce off the extremely advanced craft. 

Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri revealed video of a US military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO with a missile, which bounced off and did not stop the craft

Since the hearing, Vice President JD Vance doubled down on a promise to 'get to the bottom of' the existence of alien life.

In November, a bombshell documentary called 'The Age of Disclosure' was released, which interviewed a plethora of high-ranking government officials, detailing the alleged 80-year global cover-up of alien life and the technology humans have created using pieces of crashed UFOs.

While the US military has maintained that America has no evidence aliens or UFOs exist, the odds of President Trump revealing what he knows about the topic suddenly skyrocketed in December, leading experts to believe full public disclosure is just days away.

Alien 'Hoaxes' That Went Viral From Roswell's Flying Saucers to Mexican & Australian X-Files

By SPYSCAPE

When it comes to aliens, the truth is out there... just not necessarily on YouTube, TikTok or Facebook. 

Both the CIA and the Pentagon have released information on ‘unidentified’ flying objects, however, so The X-Files enthusiasts can be forgiven for acting a bit smug these days. We examine 10 of the world’s top alien ‘hoaxes’, searching for signs of intelligence.‍

1. Dead alien found after UFO sighting in Russia ‍

Two Russian men were out for a walk in 2011 when they came across what appeared to be a frozen corpse in the snowy countryside near Irkutsk, in eastern Siberia. But this wasn’t just any old corpse – it was an alien, or was it? Only a month earlier, villagers swore they’d seen bright orange lights in the sky. Could the two incidents be related? Perhaps there had been an extraterrestrial crash? Nyet. More than 12m people viewed the YouTube video and police investigated. It was at this point the men sheepishly confessed: they’d actually made the ‘alien’ out of breadcrumbs and stuffed it into chicken skin as a practical joke. 

2. New Jersey spacecraft stops traffic

A large, threatening spacecraft crept slowly across New Jersey’s sky in 2020 and it wasn’t long before the Twitter and TikTok videos went viral. The extraterrestrial ship with blue flashing lights slowed traffic on the turnpike – some people even got out of their cars to take a better look. Turns out, a Goodyear blimp was passing over New Jersey at the time, getting an aerial television shot of an NFL game at the MetLife Stadium, just west of New York City. And yes, the blimp came in peace. 

3. UFO visits India‍

A ‘spaceship’ hovering precariously close to buildings in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, created panic in 2016, with photos of the large object spreading feverishly. The UFO photographer quickly disappeared (beamed up?) and the cell phone number couldn’t ever be traced. Despite the mystery, experts decided the UFO was probably created by an app, noting it bore a striking resemblance to a UFO in the movie Independence Day. 

4. UFOs terrify Haiti

An eerie, realistic home video captured 'UFOs' soaring over Haiti in 2007. A woman can be heard gasping. A dog barks. Surely the video must be real? A second video from the Dominican Republic seemed to provide independent corroboration. The Los Angeles Times decided to track down the videographer and others who immediately re-posted the ‘evidence’ and got a swift response from barzolff814 – aka Heather, a 17-year-old Irish girl who’d racked up 2.2m YouTube hits (now 20m!): “Umm yeah. Whatever. You people are stupid. Find something better to do with your time. And get a life.” The Times finally found the source, a professional animator who’d spent 17 hours creating the UFO videos on his MacBook and didn’t want to reveal his name. It seems the animator was just testing his work, thinking he might get a few likes... ‍

5. Six ‘spaceships’ land in England

Wiltshire in southwest England has always been a draw for the alien conspiracists – it is, after all, the home of the legendary Stonehenge, multiple crop circles and a UFO hotspot since the 17th century. But even the locals were astounded when six UFOs landed in Wiltshire, London and four other locations across England in 1967, bleeping, hissing and triggering a major police and military response. The hoax was conjured up by the engineer apprentices at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (later part of the Ministry of Defense) who scattered them overnight. The pranksters wanted to know if the government had a plan if aliens invaded. The Army responded by blowing up one saucer, dropping another and brushing themselves off when one imploded. Police decided not to take action against the apprentices, with one officer saying authorities were “taking it like gentlemen”.

‍

6. Australia’s X-Files

Melbourne’s Kelly and Andrew Cahill said they were driving in August 1993 when they spotted a weird object in the sky with circular orange lights, but that isn’t the shocking part of the story. The couple said they were abducted by tall, skinny aliens with red eyes who burned a triangle into the skin around Kelly’s navel.

The couple ‘awoke’ in their car having lost an hour’s time. “I felt this blow to my stomach and went flying in the air and I heard my husband say ‘Let go of me’, and this male voice that said, 'I mean you no harm'," she told journalists. The Cahills’ story was such a sensation it was mentioned by agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) on The X-Files. Ms Cahill published a bestselling book, did the rounds of the talk shows, then went quiet. The UFO experts at Phenomena Research Australia (PRA) investigated the claims and compiled a 300-page report. In 2020, 27 years after the ‘abduction’, PRA said they were considering releasing their findings - just not any time soon.‍

7. Canada’s closest encounter

Canada has big skies and plenty of land so it should be fertile ground for an alien landing. In May, 1967, amateur geologist Stefan Michalak was prospecting in Manitoba when he spotted two glowing objects. One of the silver crafts landed and Michalak said he had a look inside at the blinking lights.

The craft took off quickly, knocking him on his back, and an opening appeared in the upper portion of the 35-foot disc that hissed and smelled of sulfur. (Luckily, the craft hovered long enough for Michalak to sketch the spaceship above). The UFO spotter became ill afterwards, displaying signs of a radiation burn. Years later, a twisted piece of metal was recovered from the site, which was radioactive. Was it a hoax, military test or an alien landing? Neither Canadian nor the US military have been able to explain the event. Tour guides swear it was a UFO sighting, however, and include it on their trips. The Royal Canadian Mint has even issued a commemorative silver coin that retails for $129.95. The one-ounce coin comes with a black light that can be shone on the currency to reveal a yellowish blast resembling the one that (supposedly) burned Michalak.

‍

8. South Korea is a UFO magnet

‍For a small country, South Korea has a lot of extraterrestrial activity. There have been sightings of ‘Tic Tac’ UFOs (bullet-shaped spacecraft with no wings) and videos showing discs with domed tops hovering over cities and mountain ranges. South Korea’s military took UFO reports rather more seriously in 2019, however, when radar detected ‘traces of flight by an unidentified object’ heading across the frontier from North Korea. Jet fighters were scrambled. Helicopters buzzed over the demilitarized zone separating north and south. Former US president Donald Trump was in the region to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, so the world’s media covered the updates in real time. The frenzy ended minutes later with an announcement from the US Joint Chiefs of Staff: the UFO was a flock of about 20 birds.‍

9. Mexico’s Mulder

There have been so many UFO sightings at Volcán Popocatépetl, Mexico's largest volcano, it has a UFO-spotting camera trained on it 24-7. 'Spaceships' have been seen floating behind it, hovering above, flirting with the flames and even flying directly into its mouth. So it should come as no surprise that UFO-mad Mexico also has its own celebrity UFO-ologist, Jaime Maussan. Maussan visited Peru in 2017, hoping to analyze mummies discovered near the UNESCO World Heritage Nazca Lines (there’s speculation aliens created the lines too).

At least one of Peru’s mummified bodies apparently had an elongated skull and hands with only three fingers, so Maussan teamed up with a TV crew to gather evidence of alien life. Unfortunately, the alien theory was debunked. Snopes, the fact-checking website, pointed out that the website that streamed Maussan’s documentary charges just under $100 a year for videos about alien abductions, crop circles and contact with angels.

10. Roswell, New Mexico’s flying saucer

‍The Roswell Daily Record newspaper headline was clear: ‘RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region’. It was July 8, 1947, and the Roswell UFO was the best evidence so far that aliens existed. At first, the Roswell Army Air Field announced that a flying disk had landed on a ranch in a thunderstorm but then changed the story, calling it a ‘weather balloon’. In fact, a rancher may have gathered debris related to a classified US military project to detect atomic bomb tests in the Soviet Union, but that information wasn’t immediately released. UFO believers suspected a cover-up. More than 40 years after the crash, an ex-mortician named Glenn Dennis remained adamant that a Roswell Army nurse had walked in on doctors who were bent over three creatures with small frames and huge, bald heads. (Dennis ran Roswell’s International UFO Museum at the time.) Roswell now hosts a UFO festival and science fiction ‘Galacticon’ celebration each July, inviting visitors from around the world to decide for themselves.

Alien Encounters: Five Shocking UFO Space Secrets & Cover-up Claims

1. ‘Non-human’ bodies were recovered from a UFO crash site

Whistleblower David Charles Grusch testified under oath at a national security subcommittee hearing that 'non-human biologics’ were found at an alleged UFO crash site. In a remarkable exchange, South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace asked Grusch to elaborate on his knowledge of ‘non-terrestrial bodies’ and ‘biologics’ to which Grusch responded: "Biologics came with some of these recoveries."
‍
Were they human or non-human? "Non-human, and that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to," Grusch said.

Separately, he confirmed he had not personally seen alien bodies or aircraft but based his testimony on compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation, and classified testimony. Grusch said he interviewed 40 witnesses over four years.

Grusch: US aware of non-human intel in the ‘30s

Who is David Grusch? For 14 years, Grusch was an intelligence officer in the US Air Force at the rank of Major and, from 2021-2023, a civilian at the National-Geospatial Intelligence Agency with the military equivalent rank of a full-bird Colonel. He was previously the Agency’s co-lead in UAP - Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena - as well as reporting to UAP Task Force and All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

2. The Pentagon is hiding evidence of alien spacecraft from Congress

The US government is accused of conducting a ‘multi-decade’ program that collected and attempted to reverse-engineer crashed UFOs. Grusch also claimed the Pentagon is hiding evidence of alien spacecraft from Congress which he described as “non-human origin technical vehicles”.

Furthermore, Grusch said that while he was on the intelligence community’s task force, he became aware of secret US government programs in charge of unsanctioned technological research related to UFOs.

He explained that much of the information is classified and responded several times: “I can’t discuss that in an open session.”

The Pentagon’s view: In a statement, the Pentagon said it hasn’t discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently”.

3. US employees who come forward about UFOs and government practices are punished‍

Grusch, who filed a whistleblowing claim two months before the heading, said he had support from colleagues but was also subjected to reprisal: "I do have knowledge of active, planned, reprisal activity against myself and other colleagues."

Grusch said the blowback is coming from 'certain senior leadership at previous agencies I was associated with.' He described some of the behavior as ‘administrative terrorism’ including threats to his colleagues’ career paths. He offered to provide further details in a ‘closed environment’ such as a SCIF - a secure, sound-proofed room where officials with security clearances can examine sensitive intel.

Burchett asked if Grushch had personal knowledge of people who have been harmed or injured in efforts to cover up or conceal extraterrestrial technology. “Yes,” Grusch replied.

“Anyone been murdered that you would - that you know of or have heard of?” Burchett added.

“I have to be careful asking that question,” Grusch responded. “I directed people with that knowledge to the appropriate authorities.”

Asked at one point where the committee could find corroborating information about possible cover-ups, Grusch said he could not answer but encouraged the committee to thoroughly investigate: “As I stand here under oath now, I am speaking to the facts as I have been told

4. UFOs pose a national security threat

Representative Glenn Grothman asked if the witnesses believed UAPs - Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena - posed a threat to US national security.

On Aug. 4, 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense approved the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force (UAPTF). "The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security," according to the DoD website. 

HowStuffWorks

“Yes," former US Navy Commander David Fravor responded. "The technology that we faced was far superior than anything that we had. If you had one, you captured one, you reverse engineered it, you got it to work.” 

Representative Robert Garcia told the bipartisan committee that more reports should be encouraged: "UAPs, whatever they be, may pose a serious threat to our military and our civilian aircraft, and that must be understood.

5. US Navy pilots David Fravor and Ryan Graves say they've personally seen UFOs

David Fravor, a former commanding officer in the US Navy, and former Navy pilot Ryan Graves have previously gone public with allegations about UFOs but it was breathtaking to hear their first-hand accounts at the House Oversight Committee hearing.

Regarding a 2004 incident, Fravor (pictured right) described a UFO caught on camera that resembled a Tic Tac breath mint: “As all four looked down we saw a small white Tic Tac-shaped object with the longitudinal axis pointing N/S and moving very abruptly over the white water. There were no rotors, No rotor wash, or any visible flight control surfaces like wings,” he testified. “This Tic Tac object… was far superior in performance to my brand new F/A-18F and did not operate with any of the known aerodynamic principles that we expect.”

Graves (pictured left), a former F-18 pilot, said that in 2014 - after the radar system was upgraded - he saw a craft without exhaust plumes or a visible engine ‘almost daily’ flying over the East Coast.

He added that at one point two jets were forced to make evasive maneuvers to avoid a ‘dark gray cube inside of a clear sphere’ that stood motionless against the wind.

Graves' squadron submitted a safety report, but there was no official acknowledgment of the incident.

“Over time, UAP sightings became an open secret among our aircrew,” Graves testified. “They were a common occurrence, seen by most of my colleagues on radar and occasionally up close. The sightings were so frequent that they became part of daily briefs.”

What’s Up with the New Spielberg Movie?

By Bob Spearing - MUFON Director of International Development

Anyone who knows anyone aware of anything happening on UFO Street right now knows that Steven Spielberg is re-entering the UFO movie field after several decades, following his monumental successes with ET and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But why now?

Personally, I think Close Encounters is a monumental Hollywood success and sucked me into this community based on my own personal experiences that Spielberg seemed to understand. But why now?! Indeed! I certainly don't want to give Spielberg free press here because I don't know his motives apart from the fact that he needs to make money for the studio.

It will undoubtedly be a mega-blockbuster.

It will also skew public opinion in a certain direction. Be careful of the magician showing youhis left hand while his right hand receives you. Is Spielberg part of the cabal? Real or not?

Also, it’s just good ole' product placement, to be honest. Know your audience. Hollywood thrives on this! UAP is the hottest topic in the universe right now because the public is craving answers, and there seems to be a slow rollout by the government and its various mouthpieces that disclosure may be near. OR NOT. Think of how worldwide audiences are being seduced by the 3i/ATLAS affair based on virtually nothing. 

You've got the all everywhere at all times, Lue Elizondo, and a supporting cast of George Knapp, David Grusch, Cris Mellon, Hal Putoff, Eric Davis, Jeremy Corbell, Robert Bigelow, and the folks at Skinwalker, and as if late, a scientist or two at Lockheed, claiming to have reverse-engineered weird stuff, possibly from the future. That stuff is similar to what mysteriously disappeared from a USPS box intended for MUFON, which all adds to the mystery and intrigue. Just stay in the loop! They rob us from time to time! Isn’t that to be expected, though?

On the governmental side, we have advocates for disclosure like Representatives Anna Luna, Tim Burchett, Andre Carson, and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and the late Harry Reid, who got the whole gig going by funding AATIP, which has morphed into the mess that is the less-than-useless All Doman Resolution Office (AARO.) Let's not leave out those photo pixelating folks at NASA also. 

We have endless Congressional Hearings, with the latest being held by Representative Nancy Mace. If you go back to the glory days of Ufology, NICAP was reaching out to our Congressional members as far back as the late 50s. Yet we reinvent the wheel every 5 years or so. With no results. EVER. Or at least, if you are privileged enough to get the skinny in a Congressional briefing behind closed doors in the "SCIF. You are golden! Why nothing for us, the public?" LOL! What a fix!

So, what gives? Is Spielberg a truly independent filmmaker, or is his new movie, rumored to be  entitled "Disclosure"; a life-like interpretation of an alien contact, or is it like propaganda to keep the UFO Community begging for more per governmental requirements?

Interestingly, when Spielberg was in consultations with J Allen Hynek and Jacque Vallee, on Close Encounters, Vallee (brilliantly portrayed by the late Francois Truffet in the movie), Vallee suggested at the time that maybe it wasn't aliens but something far different. And perhaps even more exotic and anomalous. I remember that. Do you? Exactly!

At the time, Spielberg’s response, to paraphrase, was that people wanted aliens.

I think on this point, 40 years later, Vallee will be on the winning side of this argument. It’s far more weird than we ever considered, and is Spielberg finally catching up, or is he being directed?

Spielberg is intimating perhaps it's not aliens at all but humans from 500,000 years in the future!

Why that number? Why not 100 years from now or 1,000? What a grand departure from 40-plus years ago in his thinking. But is it his thinking or putting out the party line? Things have changed since the 80s. Where did he come up with the 500,000-year number? Out of whole cloth? Or is he privy to something we do not know about or never will because we are not part of the enlightened elite like him?

The initial ad for Spielberg’s new movie is very cryptic, the first ad showing what appears to be a bird’s head with a human eye. That, at least, is my interpretation. It’s cryptic indeed. Maybe it's?the dinosaurs coming back? I hope that's not the Jurassic plot. I really hope not!

Even still, that would suggest a nod towards human evolution and a complete erasure of his Close Encounters of the 1980s concerning aliens. 

It also, in a way, leads to a theory of time travel. Are aliens US from a far, far future?

Is the government’s hand being forced now by human tools in the form of whistleblowers, preparing us for some revelation? Interrupting or even destroying their disclosure plans. Is it a giantclusterf…! If so, who is in charge? Governments or whistleblowers throwing everything on its head!? I guess that whistleblowers will be the first to lose!

What happens next?

There is a certain angst in the reluctance to fulfill disclosure. WHY? In some circles, including?intimations from prominent UFO spokespersons, that the reality of who is operating these.UFO/UAP are of such dire reality that the public cannot absorb it all at once. If this is true, we?certainly face a dark and dystopian reality that could destroy civilization when disclosure actually occurs! Then again, is it all a psyop?

In the final analysis, considering longstanding free and open grassroots organizations like MUFON and NUFORC are under attack like never before, with the sudden appearance of the Department of War entities like AARO, other governmental entities under serious suspicion, and factual disregard like NASA, and the sudden appearance of mysterious private corporations like Enigma Labs, funded by billionaire Peter Thiel, with multi-billion dollar contracts held with the

Department of War via his Palantir company, YOU, the public, YOU, the UFO Street, should be very, very, very concerned that what is going down might be the largest “Psyop” in human. history. A perfect storm of cooperation between government, military, media, the entertainment establishment, and industry ever conceived to hide the truth from us all. 

Be very careful when you submit your UFO report. Do you want it to go into useless black holeslike AARO, NASA, Enigma, or even worse, tiny little startups that come and go like the?  International UFO Bureau, or do you want an established organization like MUFON with over 700 certified field investigators from numerous forensic backgrounds reaching out to you in real time getting the job done? Real investigations that the government has zero access to?

We have been doing the Air Force’s job since 1969! No one owns us! NO-ONE!

2 meter UFO spins, attaches to space station, flies off! UAP paranormal sighting news 👽 Dec 27, 2025 👀

Guys I recorded this yesterday in Taiwan, I haven’t been able to update my site because I’m doing it from my phone right now. I’m busy doing medical stuff, Ct scans etc in a hospital and so my blog is updated less than my YouTube channel. 

This UFO flying in front of the space station is just absolute proof that aliens exist, fly near and land on the hull of the space station. This is several spinning diamonds that change color, shine brightly so they want to be seen. Read the comments on YouTube below the video, eye opening thoughts. 

Scott C. Waring wish me luck at the hospital.

We didn't find answers in 2025, but UFO researchers say the search continues

A photo taken at the recent US Congressional UAP hearing on September 9.

After years of making headlines, air vehicles of nameless origin, unknown intent, and seemingly odd capabilities are still being reported within America's national airspace, allegedly flying over sensitive facilities and interfering with commercial air traffic.

All of this aerial weirdness involves unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP for short. Whatever they are, UAP continue to be seen, reported and even documented through various sensor technologies. However, despite years of whistleblowers testifying before Congress, there seems to have been a bottleneck in getting to the bottom of the UAP issue in 2025. Why so?

Key specialists appraising the issue UAP have yet to untangle the mystery, but do appear to agree on what needs to be done now to further resolve what UAP are and from where they might originate.

Plurality of minds

The UAP phenomenon benefits from having a plurality of minds engaged in disciplined debate, suggests Michael Cifone, founding executive director and President of the Society for UAP Studies, based in Los Angeles, California.

Today, there's a division emerging between classical Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), aka "flying saucer," incidents and studying UAP from the point of view of observational and experimental science. But engaging scientific methods and instruments turns out to be neither trivial nor cheap, Cifone said.

"Perhaps the holdup is reluctance to dump time, energy and money into what looks to some like a wild goose chase," said Cifone.

Cold cases

"Like any other scientific venture, both funding and institutional support is required," Cifone said. "Given the historical stigma associated with the topic that has been hard to achieve. But now with the emphasis no longer on chasing forensic cold cases, and relying on reports of UAP, serious scientists and student researchers are getting involved."

The upshot is to deploy scientific methodology to establish the observational framework with the proper instrumentation, Cifone added, "in order to generate the data on UAP from which more secure conclusions can be derived."

Cifone said that progress, like in any other science or research area, will be slow but hopefully steady, albeit incremental.

"What will likely happen is that there will be downstream benefits that aren't foreseeable exactly now. Maybe new sciences will break away. So it will be a win for the growth of knowledge and for science in particular," Cifone senses.

For Cifone, his view is to keep the eye on the ball and work out the observational framework design and required instruments and observational modalities before we can have the reliable datasets we need. "But science doesn't always go as planned. In any case, there's a lot of work to be done."

Cifone points to an increasing number of institutions that are studying UAPs. Indeed, work underway on UAP has blossomed into a world-wide field of research, he said.

All sky, all the time

To Cifone's point, there's the University of Würzburg in northern Bavaria, one of the oldest universities in Germany. An Interdisciplinary Research Center for Extraterrestrial Studies (IFEX) has been established.

One effort the university is developing is an "AllSkyCAM" able to capture UAP. An automated reporting system is currently under construction with the university cooperating with the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt, the national civil aviation authority of Germany, to research unusual phenomena in the country's airspace.

Then there's the Galileo Project led by astrophysicist Avi Loeb of Harvard University. They have designed and built an array of sensors to scan the sky for aerial phenomena and assess atmospheric anomalies that may not be of terrestrial origin.

This type of research can produce data on UAP, Cifone said, "then we need to experiment with the data and produce theories, or what you call explanations, and perhaps even understanding! We're only at the observational framework design and testing phase. Then we need to let the systems run, probably for many years."

Test a hypothesis

There's need to be able to scientifically test a hypothesis that some UAP are potentially extraterrestrial craft, said Robert Powell, executive board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU).

"I consider extreme acceleration to be the best characteristic that has the potential to eliminate a terrestrial explanation for a UAP," said Powell. But measurement of high accelerations of UAP, he said, requires high-precision scientific gear and data.

"The cost of putting out a network of calibrated and characterized equipment, maintaining it, obtaining placement rights on land, and analyzing the data will cost tens to hundreds of millions of dollars," said Powell.

Military systems

One estimate by an engineer in SCU forecasts that given 300 "actual" UAP sightings per year — and assuming random distribution of sightings — that with 930 automated camera systems distributed across the U.S., one would have a 95% chance of detecting a UAP of 50 foot or larger size within a year.

"To date, the financial resources to achieve this are not available," said Powell. "The military has the capability with radar, satellite, and optical systems, but the scientific community does not have access to these systems." He thinks the work ahead could be done now via military systems, but only if there were no national security concerns.

"I think it will take many years to do it through privately-financed civilian systems but that doesn't mean we shouldn't continue working at it," Powell concluded.

Ignore, rationalize away

Ryan Graves is chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Integration Committee. He is also director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, a military pilot group devoted to aerospace safety and national security, but focused on UAPs.

"Highly credible people and professional observers are seeing objects that appear to exhibit capabilities beyond the state of the art," Graves told Space.com. "In the data received, there seems to be this core anomalous aspect that we can't just ignore or rationalize away."

Graves speaks with UAP eye-witness authority as a former Lt. U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot. He was the first active-duty pilot to publicly point to his own encounters and spotlights his military colleagues regarding their UAP sightings.

In July 2023, Graves testified about UAPs before the House Oversight Committee's National Security Subcommittee in Congress, a hearing centered on UAP and the implications for national security, public safety, and how best to attain government transparency on the issue.

Pay attention

"We need to pay attention to this and recognize the national security implications," Graves said. Objects are operating in sovereign air space, he said, potentially collecting intelligence and trying to break into or set the stage to counter our defenses and set the country up for strategic surprise.

In blunt talk, Graves said UAP are engaged in actions "that would be recognized as acts of war or at the minimum preparation for an attack."

For its part, the AIAA UAP Integration & Outreach Committee is a strictly agnostic, science-first committee inside the AIAA.

"Our remit is to bring aerospace rigor to an area with real safety-of-flight implications," Graves said. The committee has been convening experts across AIAA's technical committees, publishing peer-reviewed and conference papers, and producing policy guidance that standardizes how aviation professionals document and share safety-relevant observations, Graves added.

Retention of data

While AIAA provides technical expertise rather than lobbying, Graves said the work on UAP has helped clarify best-practice reporting standards as well as set standards for retention of data on what's being reported.

One early payoff is that AIAA's UAP effort parallels what Congress has been considering in the standalone bill "Safe Airspace for Americans Act," introduced in January 2024 and reintroduced in September of this year. "Our focus remains the same," said Graves, "and that is credible data, clear procedures, and aviation safety."

That bipartisan Act is championed by U.S. representatives Robert Garcia of California and Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin, legislation crafted to support civilian UAP reporting.

"Transparency surrounding UAP is crucial for national security, public safety, and making sure people trust that our government is taking these reports seriously," Congressman Garcia said in a statement. "This bill creates a clear, protected pathway for pilots and other aviation professionals to report UAP incidents without having to fear stigma or worry about retaliation. This is a vital step forward to make sure our skies are safe and our government is responsive."

Closure on the topic?

Graves also points to the current leadership of the Department of Defense All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO. It too is established to minimize technical and intelligence surprise by "synchronizing identification, attribution, and mitigation of UAP in the vicinity of national security areas," the AARO states.

"I'm optimistic. There is significant organizational change across the government that I think will bare fruit. There process is maturing to the point where they can start delivering on their expectations," said Graves.

Overall, Graves is heartened by current UAP interest and on-going activities.

"I don't know if there's been a better time to hope for closure on this topic. I don't think we've ever been in quite the situation we're in today," Graves said.

Flight tracking data has revealed the path of a top-secret Air Force jet landing at the highly classified Area 51 in the Nevada desert on Monday.

The plane is part of the military’s Janet fleet, which transports contractor employees, Department of Defense staff and military personnel to secure facilities housing classified information.

The Janet departed Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas’ main airport, at 8:25am PT and touched down at Area 51 at 8:42am.

While the purpose of the flight remains unclear, Area 51 is located within the US Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range, used for large-scale military exercises. 

The site has long been rumored to host crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft and other mysterious technologies.

Designed by Boeing, Janet jets are white with a single red stripe running from nose to tail. 

They operate from a dedicated terminal and parking area in Las Vegas, as the remote facility does not support commuting by vehicle.

Monday's light was just one of six Janet flights to Area 51 over the past week. 

Flight tracking data has revealed the path of a top-secret Air Force jet landing at the highly classified Area 51 in the Nevada desert on Monday

Flight data shows a Janet flight taking the same path every day last week, and all taking off from Las Vegas between 8.25am and 8.29am.

The flights take no more than 20 minutes, depending on the exact path and wind speed. 

A known reason for military personnel to travel to Area 51 is for testing and developing highly classified aircraft and weapons systems.

Area 51 gained notoriety during the Cold War when it was used to test the U-2 spy plane, which was crucial for intelligence gathering against the Soviet Union.

The craft is still used today to monitor Mexican drug cartels and other threats to the US.

The secret Janet fleet started operations in 1972, making their first flight to Area 51, established in 1955.

Area 51 has six runways for the Janet planes to land, including a monster 12,000-foot-long strip that is among the longest in the world.

The secrecy surrounding Area 51 has fueled widespread conspiracy theories about its true purpose, but a resurfaced interview from an aviation journalist with firsthand sources who have worked there said the truth could be revealed this year.

The Janet, designed by Boeing, is a white jet with a single red strip from front to back. The fleet flies contractor employees, Department of Defense staff and military personnel to secure spaces that house classified information

Jim Goodall gave an interview in the mid-1990s where he discussed top-secret technologies at the site that 'would make George Lucas envious.'

'One gentleman spent 12 of his 30 years in black programs at Groom Lake [as Area 51 is also known],' Goodall explained in the unearthed documentary interview.

'I asked him, 'Can you really tell me what's happening out there?'' he continued.

'And he said, 'Well, there are a lot of things going on there that I won't be able to tell you until the year 2025.''

The mention of '2025' could refer to an executive order by then-President Bill Clinton, which established a 25-year timer for the 'automatic declassification' of government secrets.

This means many top-secret projects from the 1990s could soon be declassified.

Goodall recounted a conversation with a 'safety specialist' and US Air Force chief master sergeant who worked at the Nevada test site.

The specialist reportedly told him: 'We have things out there that are literally out of this world… better than Star Trek, or anything you can see in the movies.'

When Goodall asked his anonymous source, 'Do you believe in UFOs?' the answer was unequivocal.

Area 51 is a US Air Force facility within the Nevada Test and Training Range

'He looked at me with a straight face, one-on-one, and said, 'Absolutely. Positively. They do exist,'' Goodall recalled in the documentary.

'I said, 'Can you expand upon that?' And he replied, 'No, I can't.''

From his vantage point spying on Area 51 in the Nevada desert, Goodall caught glimpses and heard firsthand accounts of exotic craft that defied conventional understanding.

'There is a stealth or low-observable electronic warfare aircraft. It's been referred to as "Excalibur," he said in the interview.

'There's an aircraft designed to fly very, very high, but also very, very slow and incredibly quiet,' he added.

Goodall also discussed how witnesses near the Skunk Works facility reported seeing three triangle-shaped craft that made 'no noise,' even when flying at relatively low altitudes.

He then shared reports of an aircraft tracked by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) out of the San Francisco Bay Area TRACON (Traffic Control) in Oakland, California.

This craft, spotted at least eight times since 1986, reportedly flew through controlled airspace at speeds exceeding 10,000 miles per hour.

'And it's a very, very large aircraft at that,' he added.

Goodall's accounts align with claims made on the record by Ben Rich, the late director of Lockheed Martin's classified Skunk Works division.

'Ben Rich told me twice before he died,' Goodall recounted, ''We have things at Area 51 that you and the best minds in the world won't even be able to conceive of for another 30 or 40 years—and they won't be made public for another 50.''

Rich died on January 5, 1995.

But Goodall today noted that Area 51 has become much more difficult to penetrate than during his 1990s heyday, which might indicate it will hold on to its secrets well beyond 2025, matching a timeline closer to Rich's 50-year window.

'That veil is pretty thick today,' Goodall told Las Vegas TV news reporter George Knapp in 2019. 'The security around Area 51 is thicker than we've ever seen.'

It Had No Surface — The UFO case that challenges the idea of ‘Objects’

Is it a craft, or is it a doorway to somewhere else? What if some UFOs aren’t objects at all? A UFO with no surface. A daylight sighting that didn’t move like an object. Some researchers say these rare cases challenge what “UFO” even means. 

A growing subset of UAP reports describes something far stranger than metallic craft, anomalies that appear to lack a surface, structure, or even physical form. 

Illustration representing a reported aerial anomaly lacking visible structure. On May 29, 2021 a weird ring of lights appears in the sky over Bloomington, Minnesota. 

In a February 2023 Richard Dolan Members discussion, researcher Erling Strand described one such encounter. His account raises a quiet but profound question: are some sightings not vehicles, but temporary distortions of the environment itself? 

The encounter occurred near Oslo, Norway, in broad daylight. Strand observed a dark, indented square-like form suspended in the sky. It did not reflect light. It did not behave like an aircraft. And it did not move in a way consistent with known atmospheric phenomena. 

There were no visible edges. No metallic sheen. Just a region where the sky appeared… wrong. 

Strand who has investigated anomalous aerial phenomena for decades, including documented optical and atmospheric anomalies, later said the most striking aspect was not the shape, but the perception that he was not looking at something, he was looking into something. 

Strand's encounter is not an isolated report. Such transient anomalies are rare, but they appear repeatedly in UFO case files. 

Dolan linked Strand’s experience to an obscure 1973 sighting in Hawaii, where multiple witnesses described a bright, door-like opening appearing briefly among the stars. 

In both cases, observers emphasized the same detail: The phenomenon did not travel across the sky. It appeared in place. Then it was gone. 

From a research standpoint, these reports matter because they don’t fit easy categories. Possible explanations range from: Rare optical or atmospheric effects. Advanced light-manipulation or cloaking concepts or short-lived electromagnetic or space-time anomalies. But none are confirmed. All remain speculative. 

Not everything unidentified may be traveling here. Some things may simply open.

Overview

A former U.S. Army insider has come forward with explosive claims about classified UFO programs, revealing his identity publicly for the first time. In an interview released on the YouTube channel "Redacted," Jorge Pabon, known previously only as "JP," describes his years working on secretive military projects involving underground ocean bases, alleged extraterrestrial cooperation, and advanced healing technologies. The interview, which is the first in a two-part series, delves into Pabon’s background, the risks of disclosure, and the broader implications for UFO transparency in the United States.

Insider Profile: From Shadows to Spotlight

Pabon, who served as an E4 with the U.S. Army and was attached to the Seventh Group Special Forces unit, outlined his official capacity during the interview. “I was a 91 Juliet—that’s a quartermaster of chemical repairs. I deal with water purification and I also do translation,” Pabon explained, noting his proficiency in three languages and experience as a paratrooper. While Pabon emphasized he was not a Green Beret, he clarified his role as a "Red Beret," attached to, but not formally part of, the Special Forces.

This distinction, according to Pabon, is significant when considering how information about classified operations is compartmentalized. “People that are higher ranks…have to stay [in] secure facilities. The people that are lower enlisted…go out to do the missions,” he said, highlighting a trend where lower-ranked soldiers often witness extraordinary events but remain in the shadows.

Claims of Hidden Technologies and Secret Bases

Pabon alleges that during his service, he was involved with programs related to advanced technologies, including so-called 'med beds' capable of healing human bodies within hours. He referenced a deleted tweet by former President Donald Trump as having hinted at such technology. Additionally, he discussed his alleged work on clandestine bases both on the moon and under the ocean, suggesting that these installations are part of ongoing secret operations.

The interview also broached the subject of cooperation between the U.S. government and non-human entities. While Pabon refrained from providing specific details due to national security concerns, he implied that the scope of these activities is vast and involves “hundreds of thousands” of personnel worldwide who have had similar experiences. “We’re doing the grunt work. When I say ‘we,’ it’s not only me, it’s more soldiers like me,” he stated.

Risks and Reluctance in Disclosure

Coming forward with such claims, Pabon acknowledged, carries significant risks. He cited both personal safety concerns and the potential spiritual and interdimensional implications of the information. “It goes beyond…it connects to the spiritual and interdimensional realm of things. I can’t really talk about it because of national security,” Pabon said, adding that many of his peers are hesitant to speak out due to these risks.

Pabon’s testimony adds a new voice to the growing chorus of whistleblowers advocating for greater UFO transparency. While his claims have not been independently verified and remain controversial, the interview provides a rare glimpse into the mindset and experiences of those who allege firsthand involvement in the U.S. government’s most secretive UFO programs.

The Path Forward

As the conversation around UFO disclosure continues to gain momentum in Washington and beyond, testimonies like Pabon’s highlight the complexities involved in bringing classified information to light. The second part of the interview is expected to explore these issues further, potentially shedding more light on what some believe could be the most significant story of our time: humanity’s relationship with advanced non-human intelligence.

Steven Spielberg drops trailer for UFO thriller 'Disclosure Day' revealing humanity's first contact with aliens

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

Legendary director Steven Spielberg, the visionary behind 'E.T.' and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' has returned to the big screen with his latest project, 'Disclosure Day.' 

The first trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into a story that promises to shake the world with revelations about alien life, while keeping much of the plot shrouded in mystery.

The star-studded cast includes Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson and Wyatt Russell.

Clocking in at two minutes and seven seconds, the teaser opens with a haunting question: 'If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?'

Viewers are then thrust into Blunt's world, as she portrays a meteorologist abruptly seized by a mysterious extraterrestrial force during a live broadcast. 

O'Connor plays a determined man on a mission to reveal the truth about alien life to the world.

The trailer is packed with cryptic crop circles, high-speed chases, eerie creatures and chilling hints that humanity may not be alone in the universe.

Adding to the buzz, cryptic billboards appeared in Times Square and Los Angeles on December 10, bearing the message: 'All will be disclosed — Spielberg 06.12.26.'

This is a developing story... More updates to come

Adding to the buzz, cryptic billboards appeared in Times Square and Los Angeles on December 10, bearing the message: 'All will be disclosed — Spielberg 06.12.26'

Spielberg's fascination with UFOs and outer space began in childhood, when his father woke him one night to watch the Perseid meteor shower from a field near their home in Haddon Heights, New Jersey. 

That early wonder inspired his first amateur film project at just 17, a 1964 feature, length sci-fi movie called 'Firelight', which he screened at a local Phoenix theater for family and friends, charging $1 per ticket.'

That film seemed to set the director on path about the unknown, as hist 1977 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' was released, followed by 'E.T' in 1982.

Both films were blockbuster hits, with ET becoming the highest-grossing film of all time for over a decade, surpassing Star Wars.

More recently, in 2005, Spielberg revamped the timeless 'War of the Worlds' that was one of that year's top films.

He has returned to his roots with 'Disclosure Day,' which was based on an his original story, but penned by r David Koepp, who helped write 'Jurassic Park,' 'Jurassic Park: The Lost World,' and 'War of the Worlds.'

'Just watched this chilling clip from Steven Spielberg's new UFO film Disclosure Day (trailer dropped [Tuesday])—Emily Blunt's weather forecast turns into straight-up ALIEN NOISES live on air, a UFO enthusiast posted on X.

'These eerie clicks and guttural sounds are TERRIFYING.'

Another fan shared online: 'For a half-century, every new Steven Spielberg release has always felt like a must-see event. 

'Already looking forward to seeing 'Disclosure Day' next year -- and I love that Emily Blunt is playing a Kansas City TV meteorologist. Midwest meteorologists are the best!'

Mysterious movie posters for the film recently appeared under the bright lights of New York's Times Square, showing an eerie eye peering through the silhouette of a bird.

While the image sparked many questions, the trailer appears to answer at least one.

In the newly released clip, there is a shot of bizarrely behaving robins that flying into an apartment where Blunt and O'Connor are sitting.

One social media users posted on X about the billboard, saying: 'This billboard in Times Square is not just promoting another movie. 

'It is signaling the return of the filmmaker who reshaped the medium itself. Spielberg, the most influential director in the history of cinema, the man whose last name is a synonym for Hollywood, is about to debut his first original sci-fi story in years.'

UFO expert reveals why you're more likely to see an 'alien' over Christmas

By JORDANA SEAL, NEWS REPORTER

It's not just Santa people should be looking out for next week as experts say you're more likely to see an 'alien' over Christmas. 

In December, the UFO Reporting Centre see a huge surge in UFO sightings with a massive spike on Christmas Day.

Christian Stepien, technical director at the centre in America said the reason for the increased reporting could be due to festive firework and light displays. 

Ron James from the Mutual UFO Network told The Daily Beast: 'We do have a slight uptick twice a year in the summer and around the holidays. 

'There are a few reasons why people might be paying more attention: they might be off work, they're doing family activities and things they don't normally do, so there are more possibilities for people to encounter things. Then, of course, there's always Santa Claus and the reindeer. 

'If there is an uptick, I can understand that because there's a lot of people out during time shopping and doing things. 

'They might be looking up in the air so I can understand it if there is.'

In 2021, there were a whopping 75 sightings reported on December 25.

Accounts of UFOs peaking during the festive period go all the way back to Christmas 1965.

Astronaut Wally Schirra Jr. was aboard Gemini 6 when he spotted an usual 'object'.

At the time, he stated: 'We have an object, looks like a satellite going from north to south, probably in polar orbit. Looks like he might be going to re-enter soon.You just might let me pick up that thing.'

Adding to his report, fellow astronaut Thomas Stafford noted: 'I see a command module and eight smaller modules in front. The pilot of the command module is wearing a red suit.' 

Mission control was sent into hysteria until Wally began to play Jingle Bells on the harmonica and revealed it was all a joke.

The puzzled voice of a US Air Force pilot reporting his terrifyingly close call with a UFO has been heard for the first time.

Traveling at supersonic speed, the unknown craft came within a 10 feet of the pilot's wing, who was conducting a secret mission over California.

The pilot, who identified as 'Troy 21,' told local air traffic control (ATC) in Los Angeles: 'This is going to sound weird, but I just had something pass underneath my wing, maybe a football-sized object right underneath my wing.'

During the September 17, 2024 incident, ATC is heard asking Troy 21 if he thought the object might have been a drone, but the stunned pilot couldn't tell.

Troy 21 replied that his sensor operator was looking for the UFO on the plane's cameras, adding that it was a 'dark gray cylindrical object' no bigger than a football.

The pilot quickly informed ATC that they had spotted the UFO again about 60 miles from where it first buzzed Troy 21's plane.

Later in the recording, another air traffic controller in Los Angeles can be heard on the radio dismissing the incident, saying that 'there was UFO reported here, but that's all taken care of now. So you don't have to worry about it... it's gone.'

Former FBI agent Ben Hansen told NewsNation the mysterious object must have be traveling at Mach 2, or twice the speed of sound, to get so far away so fast.

The strange object then moved off at high speed and was seen minutes later 60 miles away from the aircraft

The Air Force pilot was not able to tell if the object was a drone, but UFO expert and former FBI agent Ben Hansen said the chances of that were unlikely

'You hear them call out what they believe they're tracking this object, about 60 miles away, because they've got their own airborne radar,' Hansen told NewsNation.

'If true, within the two minutes when they called back, that would place this object going about Mach 2... That would absolutely, in my opinion, eliminate any prosaic explanation of a drone,' Hansen added.

Hansen was able to secure a copy of the recording after it was not released to the public.

According to the UFO expert, the air traffic controller involved reported the incident to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recognizes NUFORC as one of the official channels pilots are able to use to make reports about UFOs and other strange sightings.

Hansen noted that this pilot and his crew were likely carrying out a drug interdiction mission for the US Department of Homeland Security when they encountered the tiny UFO.

He added that their aircraft, a Beechcraft 350C, has been converted by the government to house a sophisticated radar system.

Typically it can spot drug traffickers and other illegal activity, but during this flight, the military crew caught a glimpse of an unknown object around 2:30pm on a clear day.

'It's broad daylight. They got a good look at this thing, a cylindrical dark object that passes underneath their wing so close,' Hansen said.

'There's big problems with that happening in controlled airspace like they were and they weren't notified of any air traffic that was supposed to be in the area,' the former FBI special agent continued.

The host of UFO Witness, Ben Hansen, said the 2024 UFO report raises serious concerns since the object passed so close to a manned airplane

Troy 21's plane had advanced radar that reportedly tracked the UFO up to 60 miles away, but air traffic controllers later said there was nothing else to worry about and that the object was now 'gone'

Hansen noted that his team has not spoken to the crew of the aircraft at this point.

He added that because of the secret nature of their flight, the pilot and crew wouldn't be able to say much about the September 17 encounter.

Hansen's computer simulation seen during his interview is based completely on the audio recording of the incident.

The host of 'UFO Witness' on Discovery+ admitted that the object could have passed under the wing from a different direction than the one seen in the video, but this was the best guess of what happened.

'We do know their description is pretty exact,' Hansen added.

As for the possibility of the UFO being a drone, Hansen noted that military drones and some hobby drones can go as high as 20,000 feet (where this encounter took place) but he believes the chances it was drone are unlikely.

The UFO was spotted near what Hansen calls a 'military operations area,' but the object was not in that zone, meaning anyone flying a commercial drone would have had to report their activity.

The incident is one of the latest close encounters that have many Americans believing alien life has been visiting Earth for decades.

Now, some government officials are looking to expose whatever is allegedly being hidden, including Florida congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.

After a classified meeting with Air Force whistleblowers, she revealed to The Grant Mitt Podcast this week that she 'absolutely believes' that the UFOs they and others have described are 'of non-human origin.'

Rep. Luna and others believe the Trump administration will soon declassify what the US government knows about UFOs and alien encounters.

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

The pilot of a private jet was left stunned after spotting a small, silver cylinder hovering near his wing thousands of feet above Rhode Island.

A newly released video of the live air traffic control (ATC) broadcast captures the tense moment, with the pilot telling the ground team, 'It appears to be standing still,' as the mysterious object floated beside him.

The object hovered near the wing tip, briefly pacing the aircraft, before drifting out of view.

ATC confirmed there were no other reports in the area and asked whether the object could have been a drone or a balloon.

Flying a Piper PA-32RT-300T Turbo Lance II, which seats up to five passengers, the pilot said he could see no attachments on the object and described it as 'astonishing' while maintaining an altitude of roughly 3,500 feet.

Other pilots in the region chimed in over the radio, with one remarking, 'I want to believe him,' while ATC joked, 'Good luck with the aliens.'

No official FAA or NTSB report has been made public, a common occurrence for unexplained aerial phenomena unless they pose a direct hazard.

The video was uploaded to the YouTube channel VASAviation, run by a corporate pilot and certified flight instructor from Spain, which regularly posts ATC frequency conversations.

The clip, which has been viewed more than 14,000 times, was posted about a month ago, indicating that the sighting likely occurred around that time.

Recently, the broadcast made its way to social media, appearing on X this week, where it has quickly gone viral.

While the pilot did not believe the object was a balloon, some experts offered alternative explanations. 

Mick West, a British-American science writer and conspiracy theory investigator, suggested that a weather balloon was the most plausible scenario.

Other social media users speculated that it could have been a military test of new technology. 

'UFOs are a brilliant cover,' one X user commented, while another questioned, 'Do you think they'd really test it on a commercial flight?' 

Michael Harrison added, 'Truthfully? Yeah, I do. It also has the benefit of keeping the UFO narrative fresh.'

Aviation enthusiast Anthony Dohrmann, founder and CEO of AI-powered virtual caregiver company Electronic Caregiver, offered a more grounded perspective.

He suggested that the object could have been a weather balloon, which are often launched at night and carry cylindrical payloads.

'[They] have a kind of translucent material that can reflect city lights or catch sunlight higher up, making it hard to judge their true altitude,' Dohrmann explained. 

He added that such balloons can appear to hover or rise slowly, sometimes at about 1,000 feet per minute, and noted that many are launched in nearby Massachusetts.

Dohrmann also pointed out that amateur hobbyists frequently experiment with balloons and other small devices at lower altitudes.

'They're supposed to go in a certain direction, but things don't always work like they're supposed to,' he said.

The broadcast incident comes just months after a veteran US fighter pilot broke his silence about a near-collision with a UFO that defied the laws of physics and left the Air Force in stunned disbelief.

Major Ryan Bodenheimer, a retired F-15 and F-16 combat pilot, revealed in a YouTube video that one of the 'wildest experiences' of his career involved a close encounter with a rectangle-shaped UFO as he flew with his squadron over southern Wyoming.

Bodenheimer, who served in the Air Force for 13 years, said the large craft suddenly appeared out of nowhere during a training mission and looked to be on a collision course with his plane.

'Then I realized we weren't going to hit, and all of a sudden it came more into view, and it was a rectangular shape. This was like essentially a perfect rectangle,' Bodenheimer revealed in his video on June 8.

The military veteran described the UFO as being 30 to 50 feet in height and appearing to be glowing around the edges of its bright white body as it flew alongside the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's elite aerobatic demonstration squadron.

Bodenheimer added that this craft had no visible vapor trail coming from an engine, no radar signal, and was traveling at approximately 400 knots (460 miles per hour).

'It really was defying any type of aeronautical laws that I've learned,' Bodenheimer said.

Major Ryan Bodenheimer (pictured) spent 13 years flying F-15s and F-16s for the US Air Force and revealed this summer that he had two encounters with unexplainable UFOs over the US

Bodenheimer then revealed that his report to air traffic control left officials in 'dead silence' before the entire matter was apparently dismissed as an 'anomalous object.'

The strange rectangle UFO got so close to Bodenheimer's F-16 Falcon at 30,000 feet in the air that he said he could make out every detail of the craft before it eventually flew off and was never seen again.

When air traffic controllers in Denver asked Bodenheimer if he could give them any more details about the UFO, he revealed that it had a cream-colored interior that became transparent or had a hole in its center.

'I know it sounds like I'm talking about a delicious pastry, but this was the wildest experience I've ever had,' the fighter pilot joked.

The only evidence of Bodenheimer's sighting was a report made by air traffic control saying that an object had been spotted in the area where the Thunderbirds were training that day, but he never heard from anyone about the incident again.

Joe Rogan invoked three words that still haunt Americans more than two decades later while discussing how the country might react to an alien threat.

Speaking on his podcast, Rogan said such a world-changing event could evoke reactions similar to those seen 'after September 11th.'

'It was a horrible tragedy, but there was a beautiful result temporarily, where everybody was really united,' he said on Thursday.

'There were American flags on everybody's cars in Los Angeles. In New York, everyone was friendly.' 

Rogan added that Americans had all decided that we were together and that we were faced with a real threat and that we had to be united, suggesting a similar reaction would unfold in the event of visitors from another world.

Along with the widespread displays of American flags, there were spontaneous memorial vigils, national unity under the 'United We Stand' theme, lawmakers singing 'God Bless America,' and a surge in support for military and first responders.

The discussion was sparked when Rogan referenced a famous moment from history, recalling Ronald Reagan's speech at the United Nations. 

'Imagine how united we would be if faced with an alien threat from another world,' he said. 'We'd forget our differences and realize that, at the core, we're all connected.' 

Joe Rogan released a new podcast on Thursday, where he shared his feelings about how Americans could react to an alien threat

Rogan said such a world-changing event could evoke reactions similar to those seen 'after September 11th'

Rogan's guest, Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech, agreed, expanding on the idea by suggesting humanity may be linked by a deeper, shared consciousness, an idea he said some researchers associate with the UFO phenomenon.

'If we recognize that we are just fingerprints on the same hand, then we're all iterations of the same overarching consciousness,' Masters said. 

'And there may be aspects of that reflected in the UFO phenomenon.'

Rogan has a long-standing obsession with the topic of extraterrestrial life and UFOs, and in his stand-up comedy. 

He often expresses the view that aliens 'are out there' and that the government might be covering up the truth.

The podcaster also believes that, given the 'hundreds of billions of galaxies' and stars in the universe, it is mathematically certain that 'for sure there's something else out here.'

While often focusing on the physical evidence, he has also explored alternative theories with guests, such as the idea that aliens might be interdimensional beings or human time travelers from the future, which aligns with Masters' theories.

Masters, who holds a PhD in anthropology from The Ohio State University, has gained attention beyond academia for his unconventional theories about UFOs. 

'Imagine how united we would be if faced with an alien threat from another world,' he said. 'We'd forget our differences and realize that, at the core, we're all connected.'

Rogan's guest, Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech, agreed, expanding on the idea by suggesting humanity may be linked by a deeper, shared consciousness, an idea he said some researchers associate with the UFO phenomenon

In his books, including Identified Flying Objects and The Extratempestrial Model, he argues that some UFO encounters may not involve extraterrestrials at all.

Instead, Masters has proposed that the beings described in many sightings could be future human descendants traveling back through time, a hypothesis he has publicly discussed for years.

'The phenomenon may be our own distant descendants coming back through time to study us in their own evolutionary past,' he said in a 2019 interview.

While Rogan expressed confidence that something unexplained is occurring, Masters emphasized caution, noting that many claims surrounding UFOs and alien encounters require further study as stigma around the topic continues to fade.

Masters also argued the 'gray' alien archetype, large heads, big eyes, thin bodies, mirrors projected human evolution amid declining robustness, fertility issues and genetic engineering. 

He linked abductions involving reproductive material extraction to future humans addressing fertility crises, citing cases like Jim Penniston's Rendlesham Forest message, claiming the need for genetic material.

Rogan and Masters touched on government reverse-engineering, whistleblowers like Bob Lazar, transmedium craft, and Peruvian tridactyl mummies resembling grays, with Masters cautious pending further study.

Rogan expressed conviction in the phenomenon, while Masters shared a personal sighting and childhood 'tasking' inspiring his research. 

The episode framed UFOs as potentially intratemporal, urging discernment of encounter reports amid diminishing stigma.

Mystery as flock of UFOs seen hovering above power station for more than a year

By JACK TOLEDO

A small town sheriff has admitted he is perplexed by a series of mysterious flying objects which have been bewildering locals in his Wyoming community for more than a year.

Unidentified flying objects [UFOs] have been regularly spotted for 13 months above the Jim Bridger Power Plant and Sweetwater County's Red Desert.

John Grossnickle, the Sheriff of Sweetwater County, saw lit-up, drone-like objects as recently as December 13, his spokesman Jason Mower told Cowboy State Daily.

Mower said they've worked with everyone they can possibly think of to try and solve the mystery in the sky.

'We've done everything we can to figure out what they are, and nobody wants to give us any answers,' he said.

Locals are now so accustomed to the strange sightings that the Sheriff's office has stopped receiving calls about them, the spokesman told the outlet.

'It's like the new normal,' Mower said.

He also noted that the objects are thousands of feet above the earth, making them too high to shoot from the ground. 

The Jim Bridger Power Plant has been hub for Unidentified flying objects [ UFOs] for 13 months above 

John Grossnickle, the Sheriff of Sweetwater County, saw lighted, drone-like objects as recently as December 13

Mower said there have been no issues or concerns among locals in the region, other than their presence. 

However, if the UFOs were to cause danger, 'rest assured … we'll certainly act accordingly,' Mower added.

The first drone sightings in Sweetwater came as New Jersey was gripped by mass hysteria when drones were seen repeatedly lighting up the night sky.

A private contractor seemingly solved that mystery after revealing at the Army's UAS and Launched Effects Summit at Fort Rucker in August that they had launched the objects to 'test out their capabilities,' according to the NY Post.

'You remember that big UFO scare in New Jersey last year? Well, that was us,' an employee of the unnamed contractor allegedly told a crowd at the event.

According to a source at the summit, the employee went on to claim there was no need to disclose their work to the public because they had a private government contract.

Locals in Sweetwater County are used to the strange sightings that the Sheriff's office no longer receives calls about them

Some 964 sightings of flying objects were logged in the state between November 19 up until December 13 of 2024, according to statistics collected by the state’s Office of Emergency Management.

At the first press briefing of President Trump's second administration on January 28, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had authorized drones and that they did not pose a national security threat.

The FAA last attributed the sightings to 'lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones'.

The agency then issued a temporary ban on flying drones, but as the sightings continued, warned that 'deadly force' could be used against drones that present an 'imminent security threat.'

Exclusive polling from DailyMail.com and J.L. Partners found that nearly half (45 percent) of people believe the bizarre activity was more than just recreational or normal drone use, with the majority (26 percent) of those respondents pointing to foreign surveillance.

Similar sightings caused mass hysteria in New Jersey last year around the same time as the UFOs were seen in Sweetwater

A private unnamed contractor took responsibility for the drone activity and claimed that they were working under contract for the government

The foreign powers mentioned were China or Russia, which has been suspected among lawmakers like Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who said some of the unidentified aircraft are 'spy drones.'

But 19 percent of Americans do believe the sightings are nothing more than hobby drones and 18 percent stated they are 'normal flying actives that have been exaggerated.'

There are some Americans (17 percent) who believe the drones were government surveillance tools, but 10 percent said the craft was actually protecting citizens.

And a small eight percent are sure the drones are alien vehicles.
