Scientists have a new way to find aliens – and they could be closer than we think
Scientists have a new way to find aliens – and they could be closer than we think
Daniel Apai, an astrophysicist and astrobiologist at the University of Arizona, studies exoplanets – worlds that orbit other stars.
Figuring out if exoplanets are habitable is tricky, as they’re too far out of reach to properly research. Instead, stargazers and space officials narrow the list of habitable planets down by whether they have water.
Apai and his colleagues developed a model that shows how Earth organisms would fare on alien worlds by considering factors beyond water, like temperature or a creature’s metabolism.
Not every planet is a blue marble like Earth: ‘Hot Jupiters’ are gas giants that orbit blisteringly close to their stars, ‘super-Earths’ are our planet’s big older brothers and loner rogue planets drift through space.

Mars may have once hosted life (Picture: Getty Images/Science Photo Libra)
So rather than asking what all life needs, Apai instead asked: ‘Would the conditions in the habitat – as we know them – allow a specific (known or yet unknown) species or ecosystem to survive?’
He wrote in The Conversation. ‘Even on Earth, organisms require different conditions to survive – there are no camels in Antarctica. By talking about specific organisms, we made the question easier to answer.’
Take the camel, Apai said. Under his team’s ‘quantitative habitability framework’, they first look at what conditions the animal needs to live beyond water, such as a hot, dry climate.
Next, they look at the habitat, with Antarctica being an icy wasteland, it ‘would correctly predict a near-zero probability that Antarctica is a good habitat for camels’.
To test the model, published on arXiv, the researchers looked at if methanogens, one of the oldest forms of life, could make it on the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e-like.
The model said the ‘habitat suitability’ for these one-celled organisms would be 69%, making it a good candidate for astronomers to examine.
The model might not be able to tell if any aliens look like this, however (Picture: Getty Images)
Closer to home, the model said the suitability for methanogens just below the surface of Mars or the oceans of Jupiter’s moon, Europa, is at most 55% and 50%, respectively.
TRAPPIST-1e-like also has a habitat suitability of between 13% and 80% for cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae.
Evidence of alien life in the universe right now is next to none, and with all the space in the universe, scientists only have so much time and resources to work out if a planet or moon could host extraterrestrials.
Apai hopes the model will help scientists think outside the box when it comes to what life can look like and know where best to look for it.
The researchers will make a massive database of critters that live in extreme environments, such as insects that live in the Himalayas or microorganisms that live in hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.
Apai said: ‘If scientists do detect a potential signature of life, this approach can help assess if the environment where it is detected can actually support the type of life that leads to the signature detected.’
Recent email exchanges reveal the military’s rebranding of unidentified underwater objects as Unidentified Undersea Phenomena (UUPs) to shake off stigma, similar to the renaming of UFOs as UAPs.
An email exchange between Tim Gallaudet, a former Navy oceanographer and administrator of the National Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Pentagon’s All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) reveals that unidentified undersea objects have been rebranded as Unidentified Undersea Phenomena (UUPs). This change mirrors the renaming of UFOs to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) by the military to remove the associated stigma.
Obtaining Information on UUPs
Researchers who uncovered this information suggest that individuals seeking specific details about these underwater objects through the Freedom of Information Law may request documents containing the term USO (OSNI in Spanish). However, this approach may yield no records because agencies have adopted a different term for the phenomenon.
Following the Nimitz incident, numerous testimonies from United States Navy personnel have highlighted a close relationship between UAPs and UUPs and the oceans. Some high-ranking officials have even suggested the existence of underwater bases from which these objects might originate. In his email, Gallaudet states, “This phenomenon has been observed by credible witnesses, and it defies the laws of physics as we know them. As I have mentioned here, their study could eventually lead us to rewrite the books on what we know about the oceans (or the universe if you prefer).”
The thing about USOs or UUP
As I have explained in previous articles, for decades, Unidentified Submerged Objects, or USOs, have captivated the attention of scientists and researchers as underwater phenomena that continue to baffle the world. Often observed entering and exiting bodies of water at remarkable speeds, these objects display sudden turns and other extraordinary maneuvers that defy our current understanding of physics. While some individuals dismiss these sightings as mere natural occurrences or cases of misidentified marine life, others theorize that they might be evidence of covert underwater bases or even extraterrestrial involvement.

Sky Canada’s UAP Report Preview: How Canada Plans to Handle UFO Sightings Scientifically
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), generally better known as UFOs, or unidentified flying objects, have been a popular topic of speculation, theorizing, and speculative fiction throughout the 20th and 21st century. It has also led to no small number of public panics and misperceptions, however, over whether a particular aerial phenomenon is natural, extraterrestrial, or the work of some nefarious adversary.
In 2022, the Office of the Science Advisor of Canada, Dr. Mona Nemer, sought to apply a more scientific lens to the question of what’s going on up there. That led to the Sky Canada Project, which was created to “review current practices surrounding public reporting of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) in Canada,” and provide recommendations on how to “enhance transparency and scientific inquiry on UAP issues in Canada.”
Originally the final report was scheduled to be released in April of 2025. It isn’t out yet, as it was delayed by the election.
In the meantime, however, the Office released a version of the Report in January; and in lieu of the full report, this preview is worth looking at in order to see Science Advisor’s vision of how Canada could manage the UAP issue in the future. The preliminary report is called “Management of public reporting of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in Canada,” and can be found here.
UAP reporting and coordination gaps
Notably, Sky Canada makes it very clear that the goal of the project is not to either collect evidence and first-hand data on UAPs or, especially, to “prove or disprove the existence of extraterrestrial life or extraterrestrial visitors.” Instead, it is focused more on methods and procedures; on means by which the Government can handle the “between 600 and 1000 UAP sightings annually” among Canadians. They said that “one in four respondents say they have personally witnessed a UAP in their lifetime.”
While polling cited in the report suggests that Canadians are generally either “not very concerned” or “not at all concerned” about UAPs, many still consider them a flight safety issue, and they’re still not sure what to do when they see one. “Only 10 percent reported their sightings,” the report said, with 40 percent of respondents not even knowing who to report to or how to do so.
This has led to a government-wide problem where “consultations with many federal departments and agencies revealed that they do receive UAP sighting information and reports from their stakeholders and the public,” but “few of these departments investigate these sightings unless they pertain to specific aspects of their respective mandates.” Even when they do collect reports, “most departments do not compile the reports they receive,” and so “UAP reports are scattered across multiple government and non-government organizations.”
Sky Canada’s preliminary report highlighted five key gaps that need to be addressed to resolve these issues.
A lack of a cohesive system for reporting and followup, where UAP reports are haphazardly received by various departments with “little coordination or oversight”;
An absence of public engagement, where Canadians have “no official, accessible platform””” to report UAP sightings and obtain potential explanations, which “contributes to the proliferation of misinformation and disinformation”;
The limited analysis of UAP reports: reports aren’t analyzed unless they’re deemed to post safety or security risks;
Insufficient scientific involvement: Sky Canada noted that “efforts to study UAPs with scientific rigour and engage the Canadian scientific community have been limited”; and
Only modest efforts to enhance science literacy: which combines with the lack of transparency and cohesive reporting and analysis to “exacerbate the impact of misinformation and disinformation.”
Comparing international approaches
Sky Canada’s report looked at some international counterparts, and saw that there were some useful examples of “coordinated, transparent and scientifically driven” UAP reporting approaches.
The United States, for example, has an All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) that was established in 2022 and which “has structured approaches for collecting and investigating data on UAP sightings.” NASA has also created a position of “Director of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Research” to study the issue.
Sky Canada also points to France’s Groupe d’Études et d’Informations sur les Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non identifiés / UAP Study and Information Group (GEIPAN) operates under France’s space agency CNES, whose mission is “to collect, investigate and archive UAP reports, and make its findings available to the public.” They also pointed to Chile’s SEFAA (Sección de Estudios de Fenómenos Aéreos Anómalos / Section for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena), which “serves as the official body responsible for collecting, analyzing and scientifically studying UAPs.”
Recommendations for handling UAPs
To resolve these issues, Sky Canada provided recommendations across four different topic areas: Reporting and Data Oversight, Communications, Research, and International Collaboration.
First, and most important: Canada needs to identify and/or create a lead that’s focused on this issue. This is the key first step in resolving the reporting and data oversight issue; someone at some federal department or agency needs to take the lead on this, preferably headed by “a trusted and recognized scientific organization” with communications ability and an “already established international scientific network.” Sky Canada suggested that the Canadian Space Agency might be a good choice on this.
This lead should establish a dedicated service focused on collecting testimonies and investigating cases, posting its analyses publicly to “proactively inform Canadians about UAPs.” Part of this will, the report said, “conven[ing] a network of government and academic partners and experts to conduct scientific analyses and follow up with observers.” This will also include working with civil aviation to encourage people in that space to “report UAP sightings without fear of stigmatization,” which will help avoid pilots being distracted by easily-explained UAPs.
On the question of Communications, Sky Canada recommended that the lead have a proactive strategy to “support public dialogue,” working together with publicly-facing organizations in the name of increasing transparency and communication with the public. They suggest museums, science centres and public libraries as a good place to start.
The government should also promote intra-governmental collaborations via an internal directive to federal agencies to work together with the lead on the issue. Not only will this help resolve the reportage bottleneck, but will help the agencies sort out UAPs that may actually be relevant to them. Sky Canada noted that both Transport Canada and the RCMP might benefit from this kind of collaboration.
They also mentioned the need to improve media relations, centred on the lead, and to set up an expert panel to determine “effective approaches to countering misinformation and disinformation.”
As to research, the report emphasizes the importance of “open access and open data,” as well as periodic surveys of Canadians to “gauge their perceptions of UAPs and assess the impact of the dedicated services.” Sky Canada said that the lead should also “support citizen science,” and that they should take steps to “enable volunteer participation in the study of UAPs.”
Part of that work should involve “the development and deployment of publicly accessible digital and portable tools,” such as smartphone apps and interactive platforms. That will help with data collection, as well as with disseminating information on UAPs. Sky Canada said that it should also involve “build[ing] on Canada’s strength in astronomy and aerospace research”; leveraging Canada’s “superb talent pool and physical research infrastructure” for the task, giving it opportunities “to be part of the public dialogue.”
Finally, in line with the international examples they highlighted, Sky Canada recommended a focus on international collaboration. This includes information-sharing partnerships with international entities dedicated to UAPs like AARO and GEIPAN, as well as international cooperation on research and communication to help with research and public awareness.
Implementing these recommendations, exemplifying a “science-based, collaborative approach,” the preliminary report said, “will help address public concerns, demystify UAPs, and potentially reveal valuable insights into aerial phenomena that are currently unexplained.” It will also “improve public trust but also position Canada alongside some of its allies as leaders in the global effort to elucidate the nature of UAPs.”

This text is an edited transcript of an interview between Mr. Francis P. Wall, a private first class (PFC) in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, and John Timmerman, an associate of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) in Chicago, Illinois. The interview took place in January, 1987. Noted UFO researcher Richard F. Haines checked military records and found Mr. Wall listed as a Korean combatant in the infantry unit he names below.
CNI News thanks John Timmerman for permission to reprint this text. Mr. Wall recounts his experience as follows:
"This event that I am about to relate to you is the truth, so help me God. It happened in the early Spring of 1951 in Korea. We were in the Army infantry, 25th Division, 27th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 'Easy' Company. We were in what is known on the military maps as the Iron Triangle, near Chorwon. "It is night. We are located on the slopes of a mountain, below [which] there is a Korean village. Previously we have sent our men into this village to warn the populace that we are going to bombard it with artillery. On this night, we were doing just that. We had aerial artillery bursts coming in. "We suddenly noticed on our right-hand side what appeared to be a lava sphere / globe that looked like fire inside it. come wafting down across the mountain. And at first no one thought anything about it. So we noticed that this thing continued on down to the village to where, indeed, the artillery air bursts were exploding. It had an orange glow in the beginning. We further noticed that this object was [so] quick that it could get into the center of an airburst of artillery and yet remain unharmed. "[The] time element on this, I would say, [was] anywhere from, oh, forty-five minutes to an hour all told. "But then this object approached us. And it turned a blue-green brilliant light. It's hard to distinguish the size of it; there's no way to compare it. The light was pulsating. This object approached us. "I asked for and received permission from Lt. Evans, our company commander at that time, to fire upon this object, which I did with an M-1 rifle with armor-piercing bullets. And I did hit it. It must have been metallic because you could hear when the projectile slammed into it. "Now why would that bullet damage this craft if the artillery rounds didn't? I don't know, unless they had dropped their protective field around them, or whatever. But the object went wild, and the light was going on and off. It went off completely once, briefly. And it was moving erratically from side to side as though it might crash to the ground. Then, a sound -- we had heard no sound previous to this -- the sound of, like, diesel locomotives revving up. That's the way this thing sounded. "And then, we were attacked. We were swept by some form of a ray that was emitted in pulses, in waves that you could visually see only when it was aiming directly at you. That is to say, like a searchlight sweeps around and... you would see it coming at you. Now you would feel a burning, tingling sensation all over your body, as though something were penetrating you. "So the company commander, Lt. Evans, hauled us into our bunkers. We didn't know what was going to happen. We were scared. These are underground dugouts where you have peep holes to look out to fire at the enemy. So, I'm in my bunker with another man. We're peeping out at this thing. It hovered over us for a while, lit up the whole area with its light, and then I saw it shoot off at a 45 degree angle, that quick, just there and gone. That quick. And it was as though that was the end of it. "But, three days later the entire company of men had to be evacuated by ambulance. They had to cut roads in there and haul them out. They were too weak to walk. They had dysentery. Then subsequently, when the doctors did see them, they had an extremely high white blood cell count which the doctors could not account for. "Now in the military, especially the Army, each day you file a company report. We had a confab about that. Do we file it in the report or not? And the consensus was 'No.' Because they'd lock every one of us up and think we were crazy. At that time, no such thing as a UFO had ever been heard of, and we didn't know what it was. "I still don't know what it was. But I do know that since that time I have periods of disorientation, memory loss, and I dropped from 180 pounds to 138 pounds after I got back to this country. And I've had great difficulty keeping my weight up. Indeed, I'm retired and disabled today."

“Startled” UFO in Classified Video: Whistleblower Reveals Shocking Pentagon Program
“Startled” UFO in Classified Video: Whistleblower Reveals Shocking Pentagon Program
A former U.S. national security official, Matthew Brown, has come forward with startling revelations about a secret Pentagon program dubbed Immaculate Constellation, which allegedly gathers classified videos and images of UFOs. In a recent interview on the Weaponized podcast with journalist Jeremy Corbell, Brown described previously unseen footage — and shared a theory that’s raising eyebrows in the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) research community.
“Startled” Disc Captured on Military Footage
According to Brown, one particular video stood out: a disc-shaped UFO flying over what appeared to be an ocean. The object behaved unusually — gliding playfully through the clouds, it suddenly stopped, seemingly noticing the camera, and then darted away as if startled.
“It’s like it knew it was being watched,” said Brown. “It scoots out of frame, like someone caught it.”
Brown emphasized he doesn’t know whether the object was extraterrestrial, adversarial, or experimental U.S. technology. However, the reaction of the object — intelligent and evasive — suggests an awareness that is difficult to dismiss.
Leaked Footage Confirmed by Corbell
Corbell confirmed he had also seen this same video years earlier and noted that the footage is known within the intelligence community. He stated that while the video is still classified, many such clips have circulated internally for years. He and fellow journalist George Knapp have reviewed a large archive of military-captured UFO videos, most of which remain unpublished due to security restrictions.
Are UFOs Already Here?
During the podcast, Brown went beyond just reporting. He speculated that UFOs — or their occupants — may have been here for much of recorded history, possibly living among us or operating from hidden bases on Earth.
Corbell elaborated that this theory is not new but gaining traction due to “hot spots” — areas on Earth where UFO activity appears to be concentrated. One such region is off the coast of California, where U.S. naval activity and advanced sensor equipment have produced a higher-than-usual volume of strange sightings.
Skepticism vs. Evidence
When asked about skeptics who accuse Corbell and others of fueling conspiracy theories, Corbell pushed back, stating:
“Reality needs to catch up with actual reality. What we’re seeing is verifiable. This isn’t fantasy — it’s documentation.”
He emphasized that the abundance of data — thermal imaging, radar, infrared footage — supports a serious investigation, not science fiction.
‘Startled’ UFO: Whistleblower describes video of disc-shaped object | Elizabeth Vargas Reports
The testimony of Matthew Brown, if accurate, suggests a significant cover-up within government circles regarding non-human technologies or entities. While no physical evidence has yet been released publicly, the consistency in eyewitness reports and internal documentation builds a compelling case.
Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, one thing is clear: something is being hidden — and it’s not nothing.

The Whistleblower, the Navy, and the Name They Fear: Bob Lazar and the UFO Retrieval Files
The Whistleblower, the Navy, and the Name They Fear: Bob Lazar and the UFO Retrieval Files
In recent years, interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) has surged, largely driven by disclosures from military officials and whistleblowers. Yet one of the most chilling and compelling testimonies didn’t emerge from a Senate hearing or a mainstream interview—it came anonymously through an online post on 4chan. This so-called “4chan whistleblower” presented a disturbingly detailed picture of U.S. crash retrieval operations, secret technologies, and the internal culture of silence surrounding UFO programs. And central to this narrative is a name many in military circles allegedly fear to mention: Bob Lazar.
The Forbidden Name: Bob Lazar and the Navy
According to journalist Jesse Michels in his DEBRIEFED interview, Bob Lazar’s name carries dangerous weight within the U.S. Navy. Citing both anecdotal sources and insider testimony, Michels explains that bringing up Lazar’s name—even in private military conversations—could elicit panic, hostility, or even threats. One incident involved a Navy admiral reportedly reacting with visible anger and demanding Lazar’s resume be removed from his sight.
The 4chan whistleblower independently echoed this sentiment. When asked about known UFO researchers like Luis Elizondo and Steven Greer, the anonymous poster claimed not to know them—but noted chillingly: “Say the name Bob Lazar around here and you’ll be taken out and put down like a dog.” The implication? Lazar’s claims about alien technology and Element 115 might be far closer to classified truth than many assume.
Inside the Crash Retrieval Program
The whistleblower claimed to be part of a Mobile Construction Unit (MCU) tasked with UFO crash site recovery. He described a four-tiered system:
Team 1 retrieves biological entities (“bodies”) and sensitive materials like Element 115.
Team 2 (his team) enters once initial extractions are complete, removing internal craft components.
Teams 3 & 4 deal with structural remains and large-scale removal.
A particularly harrowing story involved a craft whose rear hatch began closing while the team was still inside. After a brief radio exchange with Team 1, the door mysteriously reopened, raising questions about remote control, biological sentience, or active surveillance even post-crash.
The whistleblower described the craft as “massive hamburger-shaped objects,” completely dark and capable of extreme underwater speeds—matching reports from Navy UAP encounters.
Element 115: The Lazar Connection
The topic of Element 115—first introduced to the public by Lazar in the late 1980s—was a cornerstone of the whistleblower’s testimony. He claimed a highly stable version of this element exists and is used for power generation in extraterrestrial craft. Importantly, only one specially trained individual was authorized to handle it. The whistleblower expressed surprise that Lazar had ever been allowed to touch it, implying that Lazar’s access level must have been exceptionally high—or his story disturbingly accurate.
Psionics and Psychic Interfaces
One of the more surreal yet fascinating revelations involved psionics—a term typically reserved for science fiction or fringe science. When asked whether there was a psychic interface with the craft, the whistleblower admitted that there was at least one known incident involving “psionics.” Whether this referred to a telepathic link, mental control system, or unknown exotic interface remains unclear. However, the word itself appeared in the whistleblower’s document, predating its emergence in mainstream UAP discourse.
Why Mexico and 2002 Matter
The whistleblower claimed that certain UAPs now actively avoid areas like Mexico, suggesting they’ve learned from prior crashes in those regions. He mentioned that the frequency of finding “bodies” has declined—craft now appear largely unmanned, perhaps a result of improved AI or risk-aversion.
He also pointed to 2002 as a pivotal year when leadership in crash retrieval programs changed. A clampdown on openness occurred, coinciding with post-9/11 security realignments. This timeline overlaps with key moments in U.S. defense secrecy, including known investigations into “black budget” expenditures and the missing trillions Donald Rumsfeld referenced the day before 9/11.
A Broader Pattern Emerging
Many of the whistleblower’s claims—including underwater UAP movements, compartmentalized retrieval teams, and advanced propulsion systems—have since been corroborated by other whistleblowers and declassified reports. Jesse Michels notes how much of this anonymous 4chan account aligns with ongoing investigations and testimonies, even years later.
Furthermore, figures like Hal Puthoff, a physicist long involved in government paranormal and UAP research, allegedly advised the Bush administration on whether disclosure of extraterrestrial contact would be too disruptive for society. According to insiders, the final verdict was: it would be.
The Lazar Legacy
If anything, this emerging narrative re-contextualizes Bob Lazar. Far from a fringe figure or hoaxer, his warnings may have been a premature peek behind the curtain—one the military wasn’t ready for. The extreme reaction his name provokes among military personnel suggests that either he got lucky in describing real phenomena—or he was once deep inside a world the public still isn’t allowed to see.
The claims of the 4chan whistleblower, when viewed alongside growing public disclosures and veteran testimonies, paint a picture of a long-running, highly secretive retrieval operation involving non-human technology. Whether or not every detail can be verified, the consistency across different sources—from Lazar to Navy insiders—makes one thing clear: there’s much more beneath the surface of the UFO narrative than meets the eye.
FBI agents who are part of a secretive group investigating the surge of “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” what the government uses to refer to UFOs, are worried that they could lose their jobs in a possible FBI purge targeting officials who worked on Jan. 6 cases, according to four people familiar with the matter.
Some of the FBI agents who work in the group also worked on Jan. 6 cases, according to the people. All agents across the bureau have been ordered to fill out a questionnaire about their work on the Capitol attack. There are worries that the move could lead to a Trump-ordered purge at the agency, said the people, some of whom were granted anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
“I have spoken to several agents from the UAP Working Group who are afraid of losing their role and the investigation getting unintentionally compromised,” said Ryan Graves, executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace and a former Navy pilot. “I am concerned that the FBI’s UAP Working Group could be affected by transition changes, and these leaders might not be aware of the incredible work these agents are doing and how their investigation could be empowered as part of a formalized intergovernmental effort.”
The existence of the FBI’s informal working group on the issue has not been disclosed publicly before. Graves and three other people familiar with the group said it consists of a national program manager and more than a dozen employees across the country who spend much of their time tracking down UAPs.
Graves said that for more than a year, his group has worked with the FBI team to refer interested witnesses, leads and open source intelligence to help the bureau’s efforts to protect the country and the aviation industry from unidentified phenomena. He said the agents have interviewed interested witnesses and “plus up” these reports with classified information.
“This FBI Working Group is uniquely positioned to investigate UAP due to their joint law enforcement and intelligence authorities,” he said, adding he was “deeply worried that agents key to the investigation of UAP could be removed, which would undermine the Trump Administration’s commitment to take the U out of UAP.”
“While we have no comment on any questions regarding FBI personnel matters, the FBI investigates Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena when there is potential for a violation of federal law — particularly unlawful acts that could adversely affect our national interests — and to gather, share, and analyze intelligence to combat security threats facing the U.S.,” the FBI said in a statement.
The Pentagon had a similar effort called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program whose disclosure in 2017 sent shockwaves throughout Washington and around the country.
Since the revelations that the military was compiling mysterious incidents of UAPs, there has been a bipartisan push in Congress to require the government to more aggressively investigate them. Many of these legislative efforts were led by then-Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is now Secretary of State.
“Advanced objects demonstrating advanced technology are routinely flying over our restricted or sensitive airspace posing a risk to both flight safety & national security,” he said on Twitter in 2023.
Other key appointees of the Trump administration have also advocated for investigating unknown objects in the sky. CIA director John Ratcliffe, who was director of national intelligence in the first Trump administration, said on Fox News in 2021 that “there are a lot more sightings than have been made public.”
He said there are “objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or in satellite imagery, that engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don’t have the technology for, or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”
In a local media interview in 2023, Mike Waltz, Trump’s national security adviser and a former Florida lawmaker, said that the government needs “to take this incredibly seriously.”
“It’s not our systems. It’s either our adversaries have things with capabilities that we aren’t aware of or that we can’t explain or it’s other wordly,” he said.
Caison Best, a former Army special forces intelligence officer who said in an interview that he had spoken to members of the FBI working group after witnessing a UAP in Colorado, said it would be “obviously detrimental” to its UAP investigation if those agents were fired.
“The FBI is one component of the government that is starting to realize what other functions in the government have already known for a long time and have been participating in,” he said. “And if FBI agents are the mechanism to bring that under a legal umbrella, I think they’re doing unbelievably critical work.”
NASA hasn't landed humans on Mars yet. But thanks to robotic missions, scientists now know more about the planet's surface than they did when the movie was released.

Andy Weir's bestselling story "The Martian" predicts that by 2035 NASA will have landed humans on Marsthree times, perfected return-to-Earth flight systems and collaborated with the China National Space Administration. We are now 10 years past the Hollywood adaptation's 2015 release and 10 years shy of its fictional timeline. At this midpoint, Mars exploration looks a bit different than how it was portrayed in "The Martian," with both more discoveries and more controversy.
Although concepts for crewed missions to Mars have gained popularity, NASA's actual plans for landing humans on Mars remain fragile. Notably, over the last 10 years, it has been robotic, rather than crewed, missions that have propelled discovery and the human imagination forward.
Robotic discoveries
Since 2015, satellites and rovers have reshaped scientists' understanding of Mars. They have revealed countless insights into how its climate has changed over time.
As Earth's neighbor, climate shifts on Mars also reflect solar system processes affecting Earth at a time when life was first taking hold. Thus, Mars has become a focal point for investigating the age-old questions of "where do we come from?" and "are we alone?"
The Opportunity, Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have driven dozens of miles studying layered rock formations that serve as a record of Mars' past. By studying sedimentary layers — rock formations stacked like layers of a cake — planetary geologists have pieced together a vivid tale of environmental change that dwarfs what Earth is currently experiencing.
Mars was once a world of erupting volcanoes, glaciers, lakes and flowing rivers — an environment not unlike early Earth. Then its core cooled, its magnetic field faltered and its atmosphere drifted away. The planet's exposed surface has retained signs of those processes ever since in the form of landscape patterns, sequences of layered sediment and mineral mixtures.

Arabia Terra
One focus of scientific investigation over the last 10 years is particularly relevant to the setting of "The Martian" but fails to receive mention in the story. To reach his best chance of survival, protagonist Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, must cross a vast, dusty and crater-pocked region of Mars known as Arabia Terra.
In 2022 and 2023, I, along with colleagues at Northern Arizona University and Johns Hopkins University, published detailed analyses of the layered materials there using imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Odyssey satellites.
By using infrared imagery and measuring the dimensions of surface features, we linked multiple layered deposits to the same episodes of formation and learned more about the widespread crumbling nature of the terrain seen there today. Because water tends to cement rock tightly together, that loose material indicates that around 3.5 billion years ago, that area had a drying climate.
To make the discussions about this area easier, we even worked with the International Astronomical Union to name a few previously unnamed craters that were mentioned in the story. For example, one that Watney would have driven right by is now named Kozova Crater, after a town in Ukraine.
More to explore
Despite rapid advances in Mars science, many unknowns remain. Scientists still aren't sure of the precise ages, atmospheric conditions and possible signatures of life associated with each of the different rock types observed on the surface.
For instance, the Perseverance rover recently drilled into and analyzed a unique set of rocks hosting organic — that is, carbon-based — compounds. Organic compounds serve as the building blocks of life, but more detailed analysis is required to determine whether these specific rocks once hosted microbial life.
The in-development Mars Sample Return mission aims to address these basic outstanding questions by delivering the first-ever unaltered fragments of another world to Earth. The Perseverance rover is already caching rock and soil samples, including ones hosting organic compounds, in sealed tubes. A future lander will then need to pick up and launch the caches back to Earth.
Once home, researchers can examine these materials with instruments orders of magnitude more sensitive than anything that could be flown on a spacecraft. Scientists stand to learn far more about the habitability, geologic history and presence of any signs of life on Mars through the sample return campaign than by sending humans to the surface.

Calling the red planet home?
Colonizing Mars has a seductive appeal. It's hard not to cheer for the indomitable human spirit while watching Watney battle dust storms, oxygen shortages and food scarcity over 140 million miles from rescue.
Much of the momentum toward colonizing Mars is now tied to SpaceX and its CEO Elon Musk, whose stated mission to make humanity a "multi-planetary species" has become a sort of rallying cry. But while Mars colonization is romantic on paper, it is extremely difficult to actually carry out, and many critics have questioned the viability of a Mars habitation as a refuge far from Earth.
Now, with NASA potentially facing a nearly 50% reduction to its science budget, the U.S. risks dissolving its planetary science and robotic operations portfolio altogether, including sample return.
Nonetheless, President Donald Trump and Musk have pushed for human space exploration to somehow continue to progress, despite those proposed cuts — effectively sidelining the robotic, science-driven programs that have underpinned all of Mars exploration to date.
Yet, it is these programs that have yielded humanity's richest insights into the red planet and given both scientists and storytellers like Andy Weir the foundation to imagine what it must be like to stand on Mars' surface at all.
A newly released batch of documents, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), reveals that a senior Pentagon official—identified by Luis Elizondo as the person intended to take over the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP)—later played a central role in classified UAP briefings, high-level meetings, and the creation of the Pentagon’s UFO office known as AOIMSG. That office would ultimately evolve into what is now the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
This connection adds a new layer to the long-running controversy surrounding AATIP. Although Elizondo has long maintained that the program investigated UFOs and that he led it until his 2017 resignation, the Pentagon has issued conflicting statements—at times denying both AATIP’s focus on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and Elizondo’s leadership. According to Elizondo, he had planned to transfer AATIP to Neill Tipton, a senior executive within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (OUSD[I&S]). But that handoff, Elizondo says, never materialized.
Emails between Elizondo and Tipton, previously leaked to and published in part by Popular Mechanics in 2020, and later officially obtained and verified with additional emails revealed by The Black Vault via FOIA in 2024, appear to partially support this claim. In one message dated October 3, 2017, Elizondo wrote to Tipton,“I took the liberty of drafting a memo at the Unclassified level that helps you better assume the new responsibilities for AATIP.”
Neill Tipton
Yet, despite the plan outlined in these emails and memo released via the FOIA, Tipton would never join the ranks of AATIP, nor would he lead the program, according to Elizondo. “Neill got cold feet about taking my place at AATIP—something I wouldn’t have expected from him—and began to backpedal, telling people people that he knew nothing about AATIP, its focus, or my involvement,” Elizondo said in his book Imminent. “I was disappointed that my friend chose to do what he did, especially given the vast amount of emails and witnesses who knew Neill was slated to take over AATIP when I left.”
Memorandum drafted by Luis Elizondo transferring AATIP to Neill Tipton
After Elizondo’s retirement, the Department of Defense frequently denied that Elizondo ever had a role within AATIP, and repeatedly stated that the program did not have a focus on UFOs.
But, in what appeared to be an about face with at least part of their stance, Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood told the NY Post in 2019, “AATIP did pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena.” Many rejoiced at the confirmation about what Elizondo had already said for some time, but the excitement about what many hoped to be a new era of transparency about AATIP was short-lived.
Sherwood’s statement was corrected seven months later by another Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough. Gough had taken over being the sole public affairs official speaking on the UAP topic. “Neither AATIP nor AAWSAP were UAP related,” Gough wrote in a 2019 e-mail to The Black Vault. “The purpose of AATIP was to investigate foreign advanced aerospace weapons system applications with future technology projections over the next 40 years, and to create a center of expertise on advanced aerospace technologies.”
When asked about the discrepancy between her statement and Sherwood’s, Gough stated to The Black Vault, “At the time, Mr. Sherwood was repeating the information that had been provided by a previous spokesperson some two years earlier.” She continued, “That previous spokesperson is no longer with my organization, and I cannot comment on why that person’s explanation of AATIP included that it had looked at anomalous events. According to all the official information I have now, when implemented, AATIP did not pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena; that was not part of the technical studies nor the reports produced by the program.”
The previous spokesperson no longer with the DoD that Gough referred to, was Lt. Col. Audricia Harris, who stated to researcher Roger Glassel in 2018 that AATIP had researched “…anomalous events (such as sightings of aerodynamic vehicles engaged in extreme maneuvers, with unique phenomenology, reported by U.S. Navy pilots or other credible sources).” According to Gough, Sherwood simply translated this previous statement as AATIP pursued UAPs during their research, and issued his statement to the NY Post erroneously.
Finally in 2021, all of that was seemingly changed yet again when the Pentagon released another statement claiming that, “In developing the reports and exploring how to create a ‘center of expertise,’ the [AATIP] contract allowed for research drawn from a wide variety of sources, including reports of UAPs. However, the examination of UAP observations was not the purpose of AATIP.”
Despite this constantly shifting position by the DoD, this new FOIA release on April 1, 2025, in response to a 2022 request filed by The Black Vault, contains multiple email threads and internal communications placing Tipton at the center of UAP planning and strategizing in 2021 and 2022.
In a July 13, 2021, email to senior DoD officials, Tipton described a high-level UAP briefing to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) and Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), noting that 28 senators attended—an unusually high turnout that was “nearly unprecedented for an engagement like this”—and that “continued very high interest from the Senate” was evident. He confirmed his direct participation in the briefing, alongside representatives from ODNI, the Navy, the Air Force, and NORAD.
Just months later, Tipton was involved in the establishment of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG), the office stood up by the Pentagon following the dissolution of the UAP Task Force. In a November 23, 2021, email, Tipton confirmed that Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks had signed the AOIMSG stand-up memo and stated that his team was “already working implementation direction.”
These details paint a complex picture. Although Tipton never assumed leadership of AATIP, as Elizondo intended, his later prominence in classified UAP briefings and the establishment of the Pentagon’s UFO infrastructure raises new questions—especially given the Pentagon’s earlier denials that AATIP had anything to do with UFOs. In other words, why Tipton out of everyone else within the DoD’s massive infrastructure of people within it?
For critics of Elizondo’s narrative, the Pentagon’s 2018 and 2019 statements denying his leadership role or AATIP’s UAP focus seemed definitive. But the trajectory of Tipton—named by Elizondo as the intended recipient of AATIP responsibilities—suggests the subject matter was, in fact, deemed serious enough to warrant his engagement through classified briefings, organizational leadership, and strategic planning when it came to UAPs.
The Department’s own documents now confirm that Tipton himself “hosted an ASD-level meeting” on UAP issues; helped develop a “DoD Collection and Analysis Strategy;” and participated in drafting the framework for a “Technical Roadmap,” according to September 2021 internal correspondence released in this FOIA case.
While Elizondo has faced scrutiny over the exact nature of his role, even by The Black Vault, these documents show that his intended successor was not only involved in UAP discussions—but instrumental in advancing them.
The Pentagon has yet to publicly reconcile these apparent contradictions.
This FOIA release represents just one more piece of a broader puzzle still being put together. More documents and records may further clarify how—and by whom—the Pentagon’s UFO investigations were managed in the years leading to the formation of AARO.
And as this never-before-told chapter continues to unfold, The Black Vault will publish all additional records that may surface in the future. Numerous FOIA requests remain outstanding.
RAF pilots who saw UFOs say they fear going public over for five grim reasons
RAF pilots who saw UFOs say they fear going public over for five grim reasons
Rumours of possible UFO sightings by RAF pilots are rife, and now a pressure group is urging PM Keir Starmer to bring in rules protecting whistleblowers who shed light on potential extraterrestrial interactions
Keir Starmer is under pressure to deal with the mounting UFO claims
RAF pilots have had close encounters with UFOs but are scared to go public fearing they will be grounded.
Documentary film-maker Mark Christopher Lee says he has been contacted by Brit military pilots who have had similar out-of-this-world run-ins with mystery alien craft as their American counterparts.
But while whistleblower protection laws allow US Top Guns to tell of their experiences without fear of victimisation Britain has none - leaving UK pilots silenced and the public in the dark.
Lee has formed a pressure group called UFO Disclosure UK demanding the release of the UK’s X-Files.
He has written to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer calling for him to introduce US-style whistleblower protection safeguards so militarypersonnel can reveal their close encounters with UFOs - aka UAPs or unidentified aerial phenomena.
Could aliens have made contact with RAF pilots
Mark told the Daily Star: “We have military pilots who have had real life encounters with UAPs.
“I have spoken to them.
“What they say is incredible.
“They will talk in confidence on condition of anonymity.
“But they fear the consequences if they were to go on the record.

“We also have accounts from other military personnel and police who want to come forward. But they all fear what will happen to them if they do.
“Will they be fired, ridiculed, demoted - even prosecuted - for speaking out? These are their fears.
“What will happen to their families?
“It’s frustrating because unless someone goes on the record, puts their name - and potentially rank - to an event it is impossible to judge and difficult to properly investigate.
“The result is the British public is being kept in the dark.
“Information about extraordinary events is being withheld from them.
“These encounters could amount to threats to national security - certainly sightings of mystery craft near military bases and personnel must fall into that category.
“But until pilots feel free to speak out without fearing they will be grounded the country is burying its head in the sand.”

Former Afghanistan combat veteran and US Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch stunned Congress by claiming the American Government had recovered debris and alien `entities’ from 10 crashed UFOs.
He alleged boffins had been secretly tasked with reverse-engineering ET technology in a bid to give the US an advantage in the global arms race.
Grusch claims he had spoken to at least 40 witnesses involved in the black ops programs and officials had ‘killed people’ in a bid to keep them secret.
Threats and intimidation he personally received forced him to go public for his own protection.
He helped draft the 2023 National Defense Authorisation Act which includes whistleblower protection for reporting UFOs and exemptions to non-disclosure agreements signed by personnel involved in secret programmes.
Now US officials are openly probing 1,800 reported military close encounters.
Earlier this month Jon Kosloski, head of the US Government’sAll-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office which is conducting the investigations, admitted 2% - around 36 - of the cases were ‘perplexing’ and r emained entirely unexplained, adding: “I don’t think we’re alone.”

Grusch has now been appointed a senior congressional advisor
In his letter to the PM Lee - whose documentary about the Royal Family’s interest in UFOs has become a global hit - urged him to follow the US Government’s disclosure process.
“Decorated military pilots are giving testimony under oath that they have encountered craft of unknown origin beyond our current technological capabilities,’’ he said.
“The US Congress is seeking to provide protection to whistleblowers who go public when it’s seen to be in the greater national/public interest.
“We formally call on you to provide the same protection to whistleblowers and witnesses.
“We have many people in the UK military and police service who want to come forward publicly but are afraid of the repercussions to themselves, their family and their careers.
“We will happily meet with your advisors to furnish them with the evidence we have collected.’’
Man who recorded ‘best ever UFO footage’ answered question about video being fake
Man who recorded ‘best ever UFO footage’ answered question about video being fake
He's sure it wasn't just a scrap of something going by.
Published 17:41 26 May 2025
Joe Harker
A man who recorded the 'best ever UFO footage' has explained why he doesn't think what he saw was fake.
There are plenty of people who are convinced they've seen a UFO hurtling through the sky, and some even manage to get video evidence of their sightings.
Some of the claims people make aren't hard to debunk, others take a lot more explaining.
One of the clearest pieces of footage of a sighting was taken by someone who was up in that very sky themselves and became convinced they'd had a close encounter of the third kind.
The footage was dubbed 'one of the greatest UAP (UFO) evidences of all time' by ufologist Jaime Maussan, who has been caught with fake aliens in the past.
However, truth is in the eye of the beholder so you might as well give it a look and learn why the person who filmed it thinks it's genuine.
What do you suppose it is?
(X/Jorge Arteaga)
Where did the footage come from?
The video was taken by pilot Jorge A. Arteaga, who was flying in the skies above Antioquia, Colombia, when he spotted something peculiar moving through the sky.
Within just a few seconds, a strange square-like object can be seen flying past Arteaga's plane and goes whizzing off in another direction.
The bloke claimed that he and his co-pilot had seen the object hovering in the air between the cities of Medellín and Santa Fe before it suddenly gained speed and moved towards them.
Arteaga claimed that the pair had wanted to keep following this strange sight before it suddenly started heading right for them.
However, Arteaga was able to get some footage on his phone which he's claimed as proof that he had a bona fide daylight encounter with a UFO.

BEST UFO SIGHTING caught on camera - Shocking Footage!
Why is Arteaga sure it's a UFO?
This is the big question that anyone is going to ask when someone says they've caught a UFO on camera.
There are all sorts of objects in the sky which might just be a balloon or a scrap of something else floating about in the wind.
However, the pilot said that since his plane was at 12,500 feet there's no chance it could just have been a balloon.
Arteaga claimed it would be too cold and turbulent at that height for something like a balloon to survive in the skies, so he reckons it must have been a UFO.
On top of that, the pilot claimed the thing he saw was 'something totally unknown without means of propulsion' and he thought it moved in an 'intelligent' manner.
You may believe what you like, but the man who saw and filmed it is pretty convinced he laid eyes on a UFO that day.

'Best ever UFO footage' caught on camera had it's authenticity '100%' confirmed
Could this be the closest we've come to proving the existence of aliens?
Published 20:29 4 Jul 2024
Brenna Cooper
Aliens and UFOs are surely one of the longest running fascinations of modern times.
Ever since reports of an alien spaceship crashing at Roswell way back in the 1940s hit the press; mankind has been hooked on UFO hysteria.
We all know someone who's spotted a rogue birthday balloon or glow lantern in the sky and whipped their phone camera out to declare that an alien invasion is imminent - but every now and again footage emerges and rattles even the biggest alien skeptics.
One person who managed to capture pretty eerie footage is pilot Jorge A. Arteaga, whose video recorded during a flight has been called the 'best UFO footage ever' - and has also been found to be 100 per cent authentic.
Check out the footage for yourself:
Arteaga was travelling through the skies above Antioquia, Colombia, when he spotted a strange object hurtling through the sky.
Captured in brought daylight, the mysterious, square-like object shoots out of the clouds and past Arteaga's cockpit in a matter of seconds.
He was able to quickly grab his camera and record the object - which appeared to be light in colour and pointed at one end - as it flew towards him before quickly speeding off.
Arteaga would later claim that he and his co-pilot had spotted the item floating in the air between the cities of Medellín and Santa Fe, before it drastically picked up speed and beelined towards them.
The pair had originally wanted to follow the UFO, but later abandoned the search after it suddenly began to hurtle towards them.
A birthday balloon? A rogue Wii Fit board? Or aliens?

Now I know what you're thinking, surely it's just another runaway balloon or random piece of debris?
Not according to Arteaga, who claimed that it would have been too cold or turbulent for a balloon to survive, adding that they were flying 12,500 feet in the air at the time.
And it seems that Arteaga has the backing of controversial ufologist Jaime Maussan, who later authenticated.
As for what happens during a 'UFO authentication' process we're not sure, but the pair would later sit down for an interview about the video, which Maussan later shared on his social media account.
"We are facing one of the greatest UAP (UFO) evidences of all time; captured by the Captain Pilot Aviator @JorgeArteagaG," he wrote on X, alongside a clip from their chat.
UFO or flying supermarket carrier bag?

Maussan went on to add that Arteaga had told him the object moved with 'something totally unknown without means of propulsion with movements that he considers intelligent.'
He also added that he'd cross-referenced the footage with Pilot Lieutenant Ryan Graves, who had agreed the clip showed a UFO, also known as a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena).
Whether or not you believe the clip is a UFO or a floating piece of rubbish depends on what your stance on aliens is.
Perhaps it's one to bookmark and ask aliens about when they finally decide to invade us.

Joe Rogan addressed 'best ever UFO footage' caught on camera that had authenticity '100%' confirmed
The podcast host said the mysterious object 'looked like it's from another f***ing world'
Published 18:06 12 Feb 2025
Olivia Burke
At this stage in the game, we've all seen the clip of what is supposedly the 'best ever UFO footage ever' caught on camera more times than we care to count.
But not everyone has heard what Joe Rogan had to say about it.
Although his passion for the subject might have fooled you into thinking he's an extraterrestrial expert, the 57-year-old is actually just an enthusiast.
He's invited a plethora of guests on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, to discuss the topic, while previously saying he is '100% convinced' that aliens have visited Earth.
So when footage of a UFO, which was pretty hard to argue against, went viral a few years ago, Rogan obviously wanted to put his twopence in.
Take a look at the clip for yourself here:
In June last year, Rogan welcomed America's Got Talent judge Howie Mandel, 69, onto his podcast and just couldn't resist showing him the video.
Explaining that people were calling it 'some of the most compelling UFO video ever' recorded, Rogan went on to say that he'd been unable to think up an explanation for it.
"They freeze framed it, it looks like a flying disc," he told Mandel about the strange object in the sky. "I mean, what in the f**k is that?"
Rogan's guest claimed that he had previously encountered a UFO himself, while suggesting that the flying object in the clip was travelling at a similar speed.
In response, Rogan said: "But you have to take into consideration that this plane is moving in a specific direction and the UFO is moving in the opposite direction.
"So it looks much faster than it actually is. Even if that was like a mylar balloon...if you're passing it that fast...I mean, I don't know what you're getting there.
"That to me looks like it's from another f***ing world."
Rogan reckoned that the UFO looked like it was 'from another f***ing world'
(X/Jorge Arteaga)
He explained that he was unsure whether it was merely a 'distortion' in the footage which made him think this, or because the flying object was actually alien-related.
"That looks very distinct," Rogan went on. "It's so fascinating, man. I mean if I was a cynic I'd say, 'Oh, it's a f***ing balloon'. But it isweird, because it's not moving that fast if the plane is moving."
At the time, Rogan wasn't too sure if the clip was even legit or not - however, pilot Jorge A. Arteaga later came out to confirm it was in fact authentic.
Arteaga was swooping through the skies above Antioquia, Colombia, when he spotted the object emerging through the clouds and zooming past the cockpit of the small plane he was flying.
The quick-thinking pilot incredibly juggled his controls with his camera to capture the extraordinary moment, as he and his co-pilot watched in awe.
Arteaga said that the object had initially been stationary, before appearing to float in the air between Medellín and Santa Fe.
He claimed it then drastically picked up speed and beelined towards them, resulting in him manoeuvring the plane to follow the UFO.
The podcast host was left stunned by the footage
(YouTube/The Joe Rogan Experience)
Arteaga insisted that it didn't look or behave like a balloon, drone or plane - but he didn't manage to track it down.
After starting to 'hunt' the flying object, the dad is said to have become alarmed when it started moving towards the plane, seeing him abandon the search in fear.
He reckons that it would have been too cold and too turbulent for it to be a balloon, as he says it would have popped or blown away at 12,500 feet in the air while that close to another aircraft - but the jury's still out on what exactly it was.
Ufologist Jaime Maussan - who famously unveiled the two 'alien corpses' in Mexico last year - also threw his weight behind the claims, insisting the footage was genuine.
Sharing a snippet of their chat in a post on X, Maussan captioned the clip: "We are facing one of the greatest UAP (UFO) evidences of all time; captured by the Captain Pilot Aviator @JorgeArteagaG."
He also thanked retired Pilot Lieutenant Ryan Graves for analysing and validating the clip alongside him, which brought them both to the conclusion that it was a 'UAP anomalous object' - AKA, a UFO.
Maussan said that Arteaga told him that the object in the video is 'something totally unknown without means of propulsion with movements that he considers intelligent.'
How sightings of ‘alien spacecraft’ trebled when the MOD axed its investigations hotline
By Claire Ellicott c.ellicott@dailymail.co.uk
They came from outer space: A scene from the film Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
FROM cigar- shaped spacecraft in the night sky to abduction by aliens, they are the tales that have captivated the imagination of Earthlings for nearly a century.
And now the Ministry of Defence has revealed its latest batch of reports from people claiming a close encounter in the UK.
The sightings only go up to 2009, as that was the year the ‘British X-Files’ desk was closed.
Spookily, that year also saw a trebling in the frequency of UFO reports, the newly declassified files show.
More than 600 alien experiences were reported to the MoD’s UFO hotline, more than double the previous year and three times the usual number, according to the papers released by the National Archives.
The files from 2007 to 2009 reveal several bizarre reports of encounters with extra-terrestrials, including a man who claimed he lived with an alien, UFO sightings near the Houses of Parliament and Stonehenge, and a man whose dog and tent were abducted.
They also reveal the claim by one man to have developed a weapon to shoot down UFOs.
Sightings in Scotland included reports from Dundee, Stranraer and the Highlands.
The Dundee report read: ‘There was a very bright orange sphere in the sky. It was acting strange and appearing and disappearing.’
A person in Stranraer reported ‘Discoid shapes in the sky’ ‘a bright orange object... heading in a South-easterly direction’.
And a report from the Highlands read: ‘Three UFOs. They looked like red light orb things. The UFOs were coming from the East.’
Some experts say there was a simple, non-sinister reason why the number of sightings soared in the hotline’s final year of operation – a rise in popularity of Chinese lanterns being released at weddings and other events.
There were 643 reports in 2009, up from around 100 to 200 a year between 2000 and 2007. It was the second highest number of reports recorded by the MoD, beaten only by the 750 sightings in 1978 – the year Close Encounters Of The Third Kind was released in UK cinemas.
Another peak had occurred in the mid-1990s, when the US TV show The X-Files was at the height of its popularity.
Dr David Clarke, author of the book The UFO Files based on earlier MoD data, said: ‘ There are many reasons why the number of reports trebled in 2009. Many of the sighting accounts – such as orange lights moving slowly across the sky – describe the appearance of Chinese lanterns.’
The first description of a UFO was from a sighting made in US in 1947, although Met Office reports a quarter of a century earlier had included data on unexplained phenomena.
In 1952, Prime Minister Winston Churchill took the issue so seriously t hat he ordered reports of sightings to be kept secret to avoid public panic. But during its 50 years of collecting and investigating reports, the UFO desk and hotline uncovered no evidence to indicate the existence of ‘any military threat to the UK’.
The files reveal that one person phoned the hotline to report twice seeing UFOs hovering over the Houses of Parliament in London in February 2008.
He described ‘green, red and white lights’ that remained still in the sky for an hour and a half.
Another sent an email to report seeing ‘discoid’ shapes in photographs of Stonehenge taken two years previously.
‘I didn’t see anything in the sky at the time. Uploading them to my computer, I saw discoid shapes in the background.’
Another email said photographs of Blackpool Pier taken in October 2008 showed aircraft that had not been visible at the time. The UFO desk investigation said two of the objects ‘look like stunt kites’ and the third ‘looks like a seagull head-on’.
The MoD axed the department – which had no US equivalent and which by 2009 had only one officer – because it was diverting resources from ‘more valuable defence-related activities’, the files reveal.
Scientists have made a remarkable discovery of a sphere that some believe to be an unidentified flying object(UFO).
The sphere, according to social media page @Truthpolex, was spotted March 2 flying over the town of Buga, Colombia, before it landed. Jose Luis Velazquez, one of the researchers studying the three-layered sphere, noted that it shows "no welds or joints," characteristics normally indicative of human manufacture, which further bolstered his belief in its extraterrestrial origin.
Julia Mossbridge, the founder and board chair of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT), and a member of the University of San Diego Department of Physics and Biophysics, told Fox News Digital she remains skeptical of its extraterrestrial origins.
"It looks to me like a really cool art project," she said, urging caution in drawing immediate conclusions.
Mossbridge framed the mysterious object as part of a "bigger picture" in which humanity must confront its own limitations.
"We are entering a time when we don’t have the control that we thought we had," she said, noting that prior "grandiose" beliefs in total mastery blind us when "something shows up that doesn’t fit our model of the world.
"If an artist is doing this, why is that? Well, I think it’s partly the same reason. It’s because we’re learning that we don’t understand what’s in our skies, what’s in our waters. And there’s something going on that’s essentially bigger than us," she said.
"Frankly, we’ve been looking at UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena) for decades, and the federal government has admitted that there are things that we don’t understand, but we are investigating them," she said.
Mossbridge said the coalition of individuals working to find answers, such as the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, the UAP Disclosure Fund and the Galileo Project, are made of people of "all political persuasions."
"They are all trying to get rigorous information themselves, not necessarily waiting on the federal government, about what’s going on in our skies, what’s going on in our waters and actually trying to get international cooperation around these things," she said. "Because, for instance, the sphere in Colombia is in a different country. So, what are the rules about how we deal with something that’s interesting that’s found there?"
Mossbridge urged thorough vetting before declaring anomalies in mysterious discoveries.
"Before you decide something’s anomalous or a UFO, bring the object to a group like the Galileo Project," she said.
She said experts can determine if the material is "clearly non-human-made."
Despite her misgivings about the discovery in Buga, she said it doesn’t "discount all the other objects that are of extraterrestrial origin."

Potential Explanations for the Phenomenon
The phenomenon of the mysterious sphere has captivated both the public and scientific communities alike, prompting a wide array of hypotheses aimed at explaining its origins and behavior. Each explanation is rooted in current scientific understanding, technological development, and logical inference, yet none have yet provided a definitive answer. To better understand this enigmatic object, it is essential to explore the most plausible potential explanations, categorized broadly into natural atmospheric or celestial phenomena, human-made technology, and extraterrestrial origins.
1. Natural Atmospheric or Celestial Phenomena
Ball Lightning:The first category considers the possibility that the sphere is a rare, naturally occurring atmospheric or celestial event. Some researchers have proposed that what appears to be a solid object could, in fact, be an optical illusion or a transient weather-related phenomenon.
One candidate explanation is ball lightning, a rare phenomenon involving luminous, spherical objects that sometimes appear during thunderstorms. Ball lightning can persist for several seconds up to a few minutes, exhibiting behaviors such as floating, moving unpredictably, or even passing through solid objects. However, the behavior of the observed sphere—particularly its sustained hovering, rapid acceleration, and maneuverability—does not align well with known properties of ball lightning. Typically, ball lightning displays erratic movement, often dissipating quickly or exploding, and does not demonstrate the high degree of control or sustained flight observed in this case.
Reflections and Optical Artifacts:Another natural explanation involves reflections and optical artifacts. The object might be a lens flare, reflection from clouds, or other visual illusions caused by sunlight or camera angles. Such artifacts are common in aerial photography and video footage, often leading to misinterpretations. Yet, the consistency of the sightings, especially across multiple observers and high-quality video data, diminishes the likelihood that the sphere is purely an optical illusion. When multiple independent witnesses report the same phenomena, and the footage captures the object from different perspectives with consistent behavior, the optical artifact hypothesis becomes less convincing.
Transient Meteors or Space Debris:The third possibility involves transient meteorological or celestial objects, such as a piece of space debris reflecting sunlight or a small meteorite entering Earth's atmosphere. While space debris—like defunct satellites or fragments—can reflect sunlight and appear as bright moving objects in the sky, their trajectories are typically predictable, and their movement patterns are inconsistent with the controlled and sustained hovering observed. Similarly, meteors usually produce fleeting streaks of light rather than hovering spheres with complex maneuvers. The prolonged presence and apparent control of the object challenge this explanation.
2. Human-Made Technology
The second category considers the sphere as a product of human innovation—either as an experimental aircraft, drone, or surveillance device. Given the rapid advancements in aerospace engineering and clandestine military projects, some posit that this mysterious object could be a high-tech, experimental craft.
Advanced Military Drones or Aircraft:Advanced military drones or aircraft are often at the forefront of such hypotheses. Military agencies frequently develop and test experimental vehicles that utilize propulsion systems not yet disclosed publicly, such as anti-gravity or electromagnetic propulsion. The sphere’s silent operation, maneuverability, and ability to hover or accelerate rapidly are consistent with the capabilities of next-generation military drones or experimental aircraft. Such vehicles might be designed for covert reconnaissance or testing new propulsion methods that enable near-silent, highly agile flight.
Autonomous Surveillance Drones:Alternatively, the sphere might be an autonomous surveillance drone. Modern drones can be equipped with adaptive flight systems, capable of executing complex maneuvers independently. If modified or malfunctioning units are involved, they could explain some of the observed behaviors, especially if the operators intentionally leave them unacknowledged or if their signals are encrypted or hidden.
Counter-Drone Technologies:Another possibility involves counter-drone technologies, where the sphere could be a device designed to intercept or disrupt other aircraft or drones. These countermeasures could operate invisibly and with high agility, making them difficult to identify or track.
However, the absence of any official acknowledgment or identification from military or governmental sources raises questions about this hypothesis. Moreover, the sphere’s extraordinary flight characteristics—such as rapid acceleration, sustained hovering, and complex maneuvers—are not typical of known drone technology, especially in the absence of supporting infrastructure or signals. This gap between known capabilities and observed behaviors makes the human-made technology hypothesis intriguing but less certain.
3. Extraterrestrial Origin
The most provocative and debated explanation is that the sphere is an artifact of extraterrestrial intelligence. If true, this would represent an unprecedented discovery, fundamentally altering our understanding of the universe and humanity’s place within it.
Unconventional Propulsion:Proponents of this hypothesis point to the object’s remarkable agility, rapid acceleration, and silent operation as evidence of propulsion systems beyond current human technology—possibly electromagnetic or anti-gravity devices. Such propulsion methods would allow for controlled, high-speed maneuvers without producing visible exhaust or noise, aligning with the observed behaviors.
Material Composition:Furthermore, analyses of the video data suggest that the sphere’s surface appears metallic and reflective, possibly constructed from unknown alloys or composite materials that do not match known terrestrial substances. If the object is made from materials not yet identified or synthesized on Earth, it could imply an origin beyond our planet.
Implications: The implications of confirming extraterrestrial technology visiting Earth are profound. It would provide concrete evidence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and possibly, insights into advanced propulsion or energy systems. Such a breakthrough could revolutionize scientific research, technological development, and our philosophical understanding of life beyond Earth.
However, this hypothesis remains highly speculative pending concrete evidence. Physical samples of the object, validated sensor data, or independent verification are necessary to substantiate claims of extraterrestrial origin. Until such evidence is available, the extraterrestrial hypothesis remains an intriguing possibility but not a definitive explanation.
4. Conclusion
In summary, the phenomenon of the mysterious sphere invites multiple interpretations, each with its own merits and challenges. Natural atmospheric or celestial explanations seem insufficient to fully account for the observed behaviors, given the object’s sustained hovering and complex maneuvers. Human-made technology, especially experimental military craft or advanced drones, offers a plausible explanation but lacks official acknowledgment and fully aligns with the observed flight capabilities. The extraterrestrial origin hypothesis, while captivating and supported by some behavioral and material observations, remains speculative without concrete evidence.
As research continues and data collection improves, future investigations may clarify the true nature of this enigmatic sphere. For now, it remains one of the most intriguing mysteries of contemporary aerial phenomena, prompting ongoing debate and scientific inquiry.
