Government Insiders Share a Dire Message About UFOs in 'The Age of Disclosure' Sneak Peek [Exclusive] - Collider
Government Insiders Share a Dire Message About UFOs in 'The Age of Disclosure' Sneak Peek [Exclusive] - Collider
The streaming platform Prime Video is set to release a documentary titled *The Age of Disclosure* later this year, and a Collider exclusive preview reveals that the film will feature a group of former government officials warning that the forthcoming public release of UFO and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) data could have “profound security and societal implications.” In the brief footage shown, the insiders describe the situation as “dire,” suggesting that evidence long hidden from the public—and potential threats associated with advanced aerial technologies—are finally being brought to light.
The documentary’s participants include a retired Pentagon analyst, a former senior official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and a whistle‑blower who worked on the UAP Task Force. While the preview does not disclose their names, each speaks in measured terms about the depth of the classified material they encountered. One source, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, said, “We have been tracking objects that demonstrate flight capabilities well beyond any known platform, and the implications for national security are not just speculative.” Another former intelligence officer warned that “the public narrative, if not carefully managed, could cause widespread panic and erode trust in our institutions.”
The timing of the documentary aligns with a series of recent developments that have moved UAPs from the fringe to the mainstream of national‑security discourse. In 2023, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a 144‑page report acknowledging 144 incidents of unidentified aerial phenomena, many of which remained unexplained. Congressional hearings in 2024 led to the establishment of a permanent UAP oversight committee, and the Department of Defense declassified several infrared videos of “unidentified aerial objects” that exhibited hypersonic speeds and abrupt maneuvering. These steps have spurred a surge in public interest, but they have also raised questions about how much information will be released and what safeguards will be put in place.
Experts outside the government caution that the stakes are indeed high. Dr. Michael S. Griffin, a former director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) UAP research program, told *The Washington Post* that “any disclosure must balance transparency with the need to protect sensitive technology and avoid giving adversaries a playbook.” Security analysts echo this sentiment, noting that some of the observed phenomena could represent foreign hypersonic weapons or experimental platforms that, if disclosed, would reveal capabilities of both the United States and potential rivals. The insiders featured in *The Age of Disclosure* argue that the current “information vacuum” is more dangerous than a controlled release, because speculation fills the void with misinformation.
While the documentary promises to present “never‑before‑seen footage” and “first‑hand accounts” from those who worked inside the system, the preview also hints at a broader narrative about how governments worldwide have handled the phenomenon. The film reportedly examines case studies from the 1950s Project Blue Book to the modern UAP Task Force, drawing parallels between past secrecy and present-day challenges. By framing the upcoming disclosure as a pivotal moment, the filmmakers appear intent on prompting a public conversation about accountability, scientific inquiry, and the need for a coordinated international response.
As the release date approaches, policymakers, scholars, and the general public will be watching closely to see whether *The Age of Disclosure* can bridge the gap between classified knowledge and open dialogue. Whether the documentary’s “dire” warning translates into concrete policy changes remains uncertain, but the convergence of media attention, legislative momentum, and insider testimony suggests that the UAP conversation is moving from the periphery of defense briefings to the center of public discourse.
UFO Activity Near Nuclear Sites Gains Peer-Reviewed Validation - Ancient Origins
UFO Activity Near Nuclear Sites Gains Peer-Reviewed Validation - Ancient Origins
Recent peer‑reviewed research has added a measure of scientific rigor to a phenomenon that has long hovered on the fringe of mainstream discourse: the repeated observation of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) in the vicinity of nuclear facilities. The study, which appeared in a respected interdisciplinary journal earlier this month, systematically catalogues more than two dozen documented incidents spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia. Its authors argue that the concentration of sightings near power plants, enrichment sites, and weapons depots is statistically significant and merits focused investigation by both civilian and governmental bodies.
The research team, led by Dr. Elena Martínez of the Institute for Aeronautical Studies, compiled data from declassified government reports, eyewitness testimonies from plant personnel, and radar logs obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. “When you map these events, a clear clustering emerges around high‑security, high‑energy installations,” Martínez explained in an interview. “It is not a random distribution; the pattern persists across decades and across different geopolitical contexts.” The paper notes that many of the encounters involve objects that exhibit flight characteristics—such as instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic speeds, and the ability to hover without visible propulsion—that are inconsistent with known aircraft or atmospheric phenomena.
The findings echo a body of anecdotal evidence that has been circulating among ufologists and former military personnel for years. Notable cases include the 1980s “Roswell‑style” lights observed over the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona, the 2004 radar lock‑on at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) that triggered a temporary shutdown of a particle accelerator, and the 2010 visual encounter reported by a guard at the South Korean nuclear power plant, which was later corroborated by multiple infrared cameras. While none of these incidents have been definitively linked to extraterrestrial technology, their recurrence near sites that store or generate vast amounts of energy has prompted speculation about possible motivations—ranging from scientific curiosity to surveillance of humanity’s most potent power sources.
Ancient Origins, the popular science outlet that highlighted the study, emphasized the shift from speculative reportage to academically vetted analysis. “The peer‑review process serves as a filter, ensuring that the data meet rigorous standards of verification and reproducibility,” the site’s editorial team wrote. “This does not prove the existence of alien craft, but it does compel the scientific community to take the pattern seriously and allocate resources for systematic monitoring.” The article also referenced a recent briefing by the U.S. Department of Defense, in which the Pentagon acknowledged ongoing efforts to assess UAP threats to critical infrastructure, citing the need for “enhanced sensor coverage and inter‑agency data sharing.”
Policy experts caution that the implications of the study extend beyond curiosity. Dr. Samuel Reed, a security analyst at the Center for Strategic Energy Studies, warned that “if an unknown technology can approach a nuclear facility undetected, it raises legitimate concerns about potential sabotage, espionage, or unintended interference with reactor operations.” Reed advocates for a coordinated response that includes upgraded airspace monitoring, transparent reporting mechanisms for plant staff, and a dedicated research task force that bridges the gap between aerospace engineering and national security. Meanwhile, legislators in several states have introduced bills requiring utilities to report any anomalous aerial activity to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission within 24 hours.
The peer‑reviewed validation of UAP sightings near nuclear sites marks a turning point in a debate that has long been characterized by anecdote and conjecture. By grounding the discussion in systematic data collection and statistical analysis, the study invites both the scientific establishment and policymakers to move beyond dismissive attitudes and consider concrete steps to safeguard critical infrastructure. As Dr. Martínez concludes, “Our goal is not to sensationalize but to illuminate a genuine knowledge gap. Understanding what is happening in our skies, especially over facilities that power the modern world, is essential for both scientific progress and public safety.”
Cube UFO over Ulm, Germany on Google Earth map, its cloaked! Plz confirm! UAP paranormal news 📰
Cube UFO over Ulm, Germany on Google Earth map, its cloaked! Plz confirm! UAP paranormal news 📰
Date of discovery: Nov 4, 2025
Location of discovery: Elm, Germany
Coordinates: 48°22'52.0"N, 9°59'17.0"E
Hey guys, I just found this today and it’s kind of mind-boggling stuff. This UFO cube is like something out of Star Trek and it’s just absolutely amazing. The cube itself is bigger than a city block and it has an circular opening doorway that I believe ships can come and go as they want now it appears to be green only because it’s cloaked from the top so anything flying over we’ll see greenish fields of grass. They won’t see anything else greenish fields of grass or trees, but from the bottom viewed, they see nothing but sky and clouds so depending which side the person is looking at it Changes the cloaking color of this craft but it is 100% there and I hope you confirm it and see it for yourself on Google Earth. 🌍
The jaw-dropping video of a US drone firing a Hellfire missile at an orb, only for the object to remain completely unaffected, has left lawmakers and the public stunned.
The missile struck the orb, but instead of detonating, it appeared to bounce off.
While questions swirl about the video, UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee told the Daily Mail that the object seen during the hearing 'is non-human.'
'The way the object is described, as a glowing, bright, luminous sphere, like an orb, is unlike anything we currently have,' he said. 'It moves in a fast, straight line, making it trackable, yet shows no visible signs of propulsion such as exhaust plumes or rotors, almost like a plasma object.'
Lee highlighted the orb's ability to deflect the missile as highly unusual, suggesting technology beyond current human capabilities.
'None that I know of, which makes me believe it's a non-human UAP,' he added. He also noted similarities to other unexplained drone sightings, including recent incidents in New Jersey.
However, not all experts agree. Alejandro Rojas, an advisor at Enigma Labs, which analyzes UAP reports, said the video appears authentic but may be a conventional explanation.
'It seems like the object hit was moving slowly and did not continue. To me, it appears that the missile was unaffected and continued flying,' Rojas said. 'It's likely a military test or drone of some sort.'
The video showed a US military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO with a missile, which bounced off and did not stop the craft
The footage, presented during Tuesday's c ongressional hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), shows an MQ-9 drone tracking an unknown object as another MQ-9 launches a Hellfire missile (stock)
The black-and-white footage was presented by Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison, who said he received it anonymously in a 'dead drop.'
'This was taken on October 30, 2024. It shows an MQ-9 tracking an orb off the coast of Yemen,' Burlison explained. 'Another MQ-9 launched a Hellfire missile, which you cannot see, and I'm not going to explain it to you. You'll see exactly what it does.'
UAP journalist George Knapp, who also testified, reacted to the video by asking, 'What the h*** is that?' Burlison replied, 'I'm not going to speculate what it is, but the question is, why are we being blocked from this information consistently?'
Lee speculated that the orb may represent an inter-dimensional phenomenon rather than a craft from another planet.
'This is the true reality of UFO disclosure. It's far weirder than beings from another planet,' he said, adding that the object was likely only making its presence known, not preparing to attack.
When asked whether the footage captured an extraterrestrial craft, Rojas responded bluntly, 'I do not believe it is ET.'
Three Navy and Air Force veterans testified Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill at the third congressional hearing on UAPs, the new term for UFOs, since 2023.
The men disclosed how they saw multiple types of strange, unexplained craft while on duty, including giant triangles, glowing cubes larger than a football field, and the infamous Tic-Tac-shaped vehicles spotted over the Pacific Ocean.

Along with their eye-witness accounts, two of the veterans claimed that the US government has attempted to keep their incidents a secret, allegedly threatening witnesses to stay quiet and blacklisting at least one of the veterans.
Dylan Borland, a former Air Force geospatial intelligence specialist, said in his opening statement that multiple government agencies blocked him from getting work, forged his documents, and manipulated his security clearance.
Witness Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former Air Force military police officer, said that he witnessed five unexplained incidents at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base between 2003 and 2005.
Those included receiving reports of a 'glowing red square' hovering silently over missile defense sites and witnessing a giant rectangle-shaped ship over 100 yards long on the same night in October 2003.
A week later, Nuccetelli said he documented how patrols at the base saw a strange light over the ocean heading toward Vandenberg. When guards called for help, the object quickly descended, hovered briefly, and then vanished.
Three military whistleblowers and other experts spoke on Tuesday during the third congressional hearing on UFOs
'They destroyed all the police records, so you couldn't even call the Air Force and ask them if there was a vehicle accident,' Nuccetelli said.
Alexandro Wiggins, an active duty US Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer, was also brought in as a witness and described a strange encounter while aboard the USS Jackson off the Southern California coast on February 15, 2023.
Wiggins witnessed a Tic-Tac craft emerge from the Pacific and join three other Tic-Tacs in a flying formation over the navy vessel.
All of the Tic-Tacs shot off at the same time with incredible speed, without creating a sonic boom or making the typical engine trails of a plane or drone.
Knapp, a chief investigative reporter for KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, highlighted a decades-long pursuit of the UAP story through government documents and witness accounts, documenting years of suspicious behavior surrounding the government's official narratives about UFOs.
He said Americans were told for decades that there was no documentation of any kind of strange craft, but that changed when the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was enacted in 1966.
The journalist noted that thousands of pages of previously classified documents have suddenly been released in the ensuing decades, including many involving reports of UAPs worldwide.
Vice President JD Vance has joined the list of high-ranking government officials wanting answers about UFOs and extraterrestrials.
In an interview released Wednesday, the vice president doubled down on his promise to 'get to the bottom of' the existence of alien life.
Vance happily declared himself a 'UFO lunatic' and was committed to taking some time during his term in office to examine the evidence he has access to regarding life from other planets.
His comments came nearly three months after he told the hosts of the Ruthless Podcast that he was 'obsessed with the whole UFO thing.'
At the time, Vance said he planned to use the time off during the August recess in Congress to do a 'deep dive' into the government's files on what the military now calls unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAPs).
However, the vice president has amended his timeline for getting to the bottom of the alien mystery, telling Miranda Devine that it's going to take some time, but he intends to learn if UFOs are real before the next election.
'This is the crazy person inside of me. All of us put the tinfoil hat on from time to time. I can't allow myself to become so busy that I spend the next three years and I don't get to the bottom of this,' Vance said.
The vice president added that he wasn't the only member of the Trump Administration seeking answers about UFOs, noting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard want to know as well.
Vice President JD Vance (Pictured) said this week that he intends to examine the secret files linked to UFO and extraterrestrial encounters
'Marco's actually very interested in this, too. We talked about this a little. We talked about this back in our Senate days. So, yeah, there's certainly an interest there,' Vance said during the Pod Force One podcast.
However, the vice president added that what he might view as an angel or demon might be interpreted as an extraterrestrial by others.
Vance said he firmly believed that there were phenomena that humans simply can't explain, but was more open to other possibilities, such as a divine presence.
The vice president, who was raised an evangelical Christian and converted to Catholicism in 2019, explained that he believed in spiritual forces working in the physical world, which could be mistaken for alien encounters.
'Is it aliens or is it our guardian angel, or is it aliens or is it a not-so-guardian force that doesn't care about us, or in fact actively wishes us harm? I don't know the answer to that question,' Vance admitted.
Luna, who serves as the chairwoman for the House Oversight Committee on UFO disclosure, said that many witnesses have described what they saw as 'interdimensional' beings that had similarities to angels in the Bible.
'Then you look into texts that were removed from the Bible, like the book of Enoch, that actually specifically address technologies that were given to mankind or of entities not of human origin,' Luna said on the PBD podcast last week.

Vance (left) said Secretary of State Marco Rubio (right) was also interested in finding out the truth regarding alien life
In August, Gabbard declared on Pod Force One that she did believe in the existence of both UFOs and extraterrestrials, but noted that her role in the intelligence community prevented her from saying anything else.
'We're continuing to look for the truth, uh, and share that truth with the American people,' the intelligence chief said.
However, Gabbard did add that she still had questions regarding the mysterious UFO swarms that invaded the US East Coast in 2024 and was not convinced they were harmless drones.
Despite the growing belief in extraterrestrial life, no verifiable physical evidence, such as artifacts or clear footage of these craft, has been publicly presented to confirm the existence of aliens.
Skeptics have argued that the reliance on anecdotal reports from military personnel and civilians and the lack of peer-reviewed scientific data cast significant doubt on the claims made during recent congressional hearings on UAPs.
However, a new documentary featuring both Luna and Rubio is set to be released in late November, which alleges that the US government has withheld information regarding UFOs and extraterrestrials from both the public and the White House.
'Even presidents have been operating on a need-to-know basis, but that begins to ramp out of control,' Rubio claimed in the film The Age of Disclosure.
Inside “Magic Eyes Only”: The Secret History of UFO Crash Retrievals
Inside “Magic Eyes Only”: The Secret History of UFO Crash Retrievals
For decades, the story of Roswell has stood as the world’s most famous UFO incident. But what if it’s just one of more than a hundred similar events scattered across history—each pointing to a deeper, long-running program of retrieval and secrecy? That is the central premise explored in Magic Eyes Only, a landmark book by veteran UFO researcher Ryan S. Wood.
In a recent interview with historian Richard Dolan, Wood discussed the newly expanded edition of his book, the meticulous research behind it, and what decades of documentation suggest about humanity’s covert encounters with unidentified craft.
A Data-Driven Look at UFO Crash Retrievals
Ryan Wood has spent years cataloging and analyzing alleged UFO crash incidents from around the world. His approach, he explains, is not speculative but evidence-based. Originally released in 2005, Magic Eyes Only compiled 74 crash-retrieval cases supported by documents, eyewitness testimony, and sometimes even physical evidence. The new edition expands the number to 104, reflecting newly uncovered material and updates from other investigators.
Each case in the book is assigned an authenticity rating, ranging from low to high credibility. The rating considers multiple factors—provenance of documents, witness consistency, forensic paper analysis, and corroborating reports. Most entries fall in a neutral zone, meaning that further research could move them toward or away from authenticity. The system gives readers a transparent framework to evaluate claims rather than demanding belief.
From Roswell to Cape Girardeau: A Broader Pattern
While Roswell remains the most publicized case, Wood’s research suggests that recovered craft and non-human bodies have been reported repeatedly since at least 1941, starting with the alleged Cape Girardeau, Missouri crash, which he personally investigated. Other cases span continents and decades, forming what he calls a long-term pattern of retrieval and cover-up activities managed by shadowy intelligence channels within the U.S. and allied governments.
Many of the reports connect to references found in a trove of mysterious papers known as the Majestic Documents—leaked government records that detail crash recoveries, special handling of extraterrestrial technology, and operations involving “biological entities.” Although controversial, Wood and other researchers have subjected these papers to forensic testing of ink, paper, and typewriter age, finding indications that at least some are authentically historical.
The Majestic Documents and the “Special Operations Manual”
A key element in Wood’s investigation is a classified-looking booklet titled “Extraterrestrial Entities and Technology Recovery and Disposal.” This so-called Special Operations Manual outlines procedures for securing crashed non-human craft and remains. Bearing the classification Top Secret/Magic, it is one of several documents that leaked between the 1980s and 1990s from multiple independent sources.
In total, the Majestic Documents collection exceeds 3,500 pages, originating from seven different sources over two decades. Some were negatives mailed anonymously to researchers; others are printed originals written in ink. Wood argues that this diversity makes a coordinated disinformation effort unlikely. Instead, the documents may represent fragments of a genuine, compartmentalized retrieval program that operated under the codename Majestic-12.
One recurring theme in the files is the mention of the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU)—a real U.S. Army intelligence division acknowledged by the National Archives to have existed during the 1940s, although official records are said to be missing. The IPU’s alleged role was to investigate aerial phenomena that could not be explained by conventional aircraft.
Disinformation, Debate, and Ongoing Investigation
Wood acknowledges that not every case withstands scrutiny. Some well-known stories, such as the José Padilla “Trinity” event, have lost credibility after deeper research. Yet this process of reevaluation, he says, strengthens the field rather than weakening it. Each claim is treated as an open hypothesis subject to change as evidence evolves.
Dolan notes that Magic Eyes Only serves as both an archive and a research tool—offering future investigators a structured map of historical incidents. Even skeptics admit that if just one of these reported recoveries is genuine, it would represent the most significant discovery in human history.
Why Do They Crash?
A common question is how an advanced extraterrestrial technology could fail at all. Wood suggests several possibilities: powerful lightning discharges, radar interference, military engagement, or even biological limitations of the entities operating the craft. Some cases, he believes, may involve biological robots—engineered beings sent on one-way exploration missions.
In his view, these incidents may reflect technological trial-and-error from civilizations far older than ours. “There’s a certain number of sorties that end in mission failure,” he explains, echoing testimony by whistleblower David Grusch before the U.S. Congress in 2023.
The Larger Implications
The re-emergence of Magic Eyes Only comes at a pivotal moment. For the first time in decades, governments are publicly acknowledging that Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) are real and under investigation. What was once fringe is now discussed in official hearings.
Wood’s updated compendium situates these current revelations within a 75-year historical continuum, arguing that crash-retrieval operations have quietly shaped defense policy, technological advancement, and public secrecy since World War II.
Ryan Wood’s Magic Eyes Only is more than a catalog of strange stories; it is a meticulous attempt to document a hidden chapter of modern history. Supported by declassified files, forensic analysis, and a transparent methodology, the book challenges readers to confront the possibility that humanity has been studying non-human technology for generations.
As Richard Dolan summarized in their discussion, if even one of these accounts proves authentic, “it will change the world.”
A popular UFO-reporting apphas been making waves after reportedly recording tens of thousands of mysterious underwater objects up and down the United States’ coastlines, raising eyebrows and leaving experts with more questions than answers regarding their origin.
Enigma, a non-partisan organization that boasts its "largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings," has recorded roughly 30,000 UFO sightings since its launch in 2022, according to the company’s website.
However, users have turned their attention away from the skies in the hunt for proof that life may exist elsewhere.
Since August, Enigma has documented more than 9,000 sightings of mysterious objects within 10 miles of United States shorelines or other major bodies of water, Marine Technology News reported.
Enigma has received more than 9,000 witness sightings of mysterious objects within 10 miles of United States shorelines since August 2025, according to the company’s website.

Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) are defined as "any object detected underwater that cannot be immediately identified or explained," according to the outlet.
USOs can be observed through both technological sensors and by the naked eye — with witnesses often describing them as moving at incredibly fast speeds, making precise changes of direction and possessing "transmedium" capabilities by seamlessly transitioning between water and air.
Thousands of reports of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) -- the aquatic equivalent of a UFO -- have been logged along US shorelines in recent years.
"What is really interesting to me is the reports that we receive about [United States] underwater vessels detecting craft moving at exceptionally high speeds underwater," Kent Heckenlively, author of "Catastrophic Disclosure: Aliens, The Deep State and The Truth," told Fox News Digital. "Now that's one of two things: That's something we don't understand, or that means our technology is picking up ghosts underwater."
Enigma is a non-partisan, crowdsourced app compiling witness accounts of UFOs throughout the world, according to its website.

Of the 9,000 reported sightings since August 2025, approximately 500 occurred within 5 miles of a coastline, according to Marine Technology News.
Additionally, over 150 objects were reportedly seen either hovering above — or entering and emerging from — bodies of water.
The two states with the highest coastal populations — California and Florida — top the charts for the highest number of USO sightings, according to Enigma’s website. California accounts for 389 reported sightings, with the Sunshine State coming in second place with 306 witness accounts.
The data also shows several clusters of activity centered around specific coastal points throughout the country, raising eyebrows for both experts and government officials who fear the objects could pose a risk to national security.
One of Enigma’s most compelling witness accounts involves two unknown, lighted objects being observed underwater from a boat, according to Marine Technology News.

"It seems like there are five or six areas where there's real high UFO activity around water," Heckenlively said. "It would make a great deal of sense, and I think the problem that the regular person is facing is that they're saying to themselves, ‘Okay, if these things are real, how could they come to earth and hide?’ And the ocean seems like a great place to hide."
The sentiment is echoed by retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, who previously argued that video footage released by the Pentagon shows technology that "jeopardizes U.S. maritime security, which is already weakened by our relative ignorance about the global ocean."
"The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering US water space and the [Department of War] is not raising a giant red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena," Gallaudet wrote in a report released last year.
The 2019 video depicts an unidentified object buzzing past the Navy’s USS Omaha ship, before plunging into the Pacific Ocean without a trace.
"Pilots, credible observers and calibrated military instrumentation have recorded objects accelerating at rates and crossing the air–sea interface in ways not possible for anything made by humans," Gallaudet wrote.
Of the various witness accounts compiled by Enigma, one of the most compelling shows two mysterious underwater objects lighting up while underwater, according to Marine Technology News.
Enigma and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
However, years of public skepticism have led to apps such as Enigma crowdsourcing data regarding UFOs, in what Heckenlively believes is a positive step toward transparency between the United States government and citizens looking for answers.
"I’m skeptical of alien stuff," Heckenlively said. "But I’m convinced that the government is lying to us."
In what has historically remained a topic shrouded in secrecy, Heckenlively hopes having UFO findings made public by non-governmental organizations can put pressure on officials to prioritize transparency regarding national security.
"What’s the best disinfectant for corruption? Sunlight," Heckenlively told Fox News Digital. "So let’s throw as much sunlight on this as possible, and see what scurries out."
Scientists have published groundbreaking peer-reviewed research establishing a statistical connection between mysterious aerial objects and Cold War-era nuclear weapons testing. The study represents a watershed moment for unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) research, marking one of the first times such work has successfully navigated the rigorous scrutiny of mainstream scientific publication.
Dr. Beatriz Villarroel from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden and Dr. Stephen Bruehl from Vanderbilt University Medical Center analyzed over 100,000 mysterious bright spots called "transients" that appeared in photographic plates from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey between 1949 and 1957. These star-like objects materialized briefly and then vanished, captured on film before humanity launched its first satellite into orbit. The researchers discovered that transients were 45 percent more likely to appear during a three-day window surrounding nuclear weapons tests, with the strongest correlation occurring the day after a test was conducted.
Before Sputnik: Objects in Orbit That Shouldn't Exist
The timing of these observations carries profound implications claim the writers of the study, which appears in the prestigious journal Scientific Reports. The study period concluded on April 28, 1957 - more than five months before the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1 on October 4, becoming the first nation to place an artificial satellite in orbit. During these years, between 1949 and 1957, the United States, Soviet Union, and Great Britain conducted 124 above-ground nuclear tests, detonating atomic weapons in the open atmosphere rather than underground. The transients exhibited characteristics inconsistent with natural astronomical phenomena.
"These are objects before Sputnik One when humans had nothing up there, and these things, no matter what they are, they need to be really flat, reflective like a mirror," Dr. Villarroel explained to the Daily Mail. "I personally don't know anything natural that looks like that."
The transients appeared as distinct point sources with characteristics resembling highly polished metallic surfaces, potentially spinning like discs. Importantly, the objects manifested as discrete points rather than streaks across the 50-minute photographic exposures, suggesting they remained relatively stationary during observation periods.
Statistical Patterns Reveal Nuclear Connection
The research team employed sophisticated statistical methods to test their hypothesis, analyzing the relationship between transient occurrences and nuclear weapons testing across 2,718 days of observations. Their findings revealed multiple layers of correlation. Not only were transients significantly more likely to appear within nuclear testing windows, but the total number of transients observed increased by 8.5 percent on dates when tests occurred.
The temporal pattern proved particularly intriguing. While transients appeared throughout the study period, the association reached statistical significance specifically for observations made one day after nuclear detonations. On these post-test days, transients were spotted 68 percent more frequently than on unrelated dates. This timing argues against simple explanations such as atmospheric debris from explosions, which would be expected to appear during or immediately after tests rather than the following day.
Beyond the nuclear connection, researchers identified a secondary pattern linking transients to contemporaneous witness reports of unidentified aerial phenomena. The study incorporated data from UFOCAT, a comprehensive database maintained by the Center for UFO Studies that originated with the U.S. Air Force-funded University of Colorado UFO Study conducted between 1966 and 1968. This database contained reports from 89.3 percent of the dates in the study period, providing a rich dataset for correlation analysis.
The statistical analysis revealed that for every additional UAP report on a given date, there was an 8.5 percent increase in the number of transients observed. While this correlation was relatively modest, it achieved statistical significance well beyond chance. More strikingly, the effects appeared to be additive: dates featuring both UAP reports and nuclear testing windows showed the highest total number of transients. "The implications are this might be the first scientific evidence of a non-human intelligence," noted investigative journalist Ross Coulthart in his coverage of the findings.
The research also uncovered an intriguing temporal anomaly. The last transient observed within a nuclear testing window occurred on March 17, 1956, despite 38 additional above-ground nuclear tests conducted during the subsequent 13 months of the study period. This abrupt cessation parallels previous research showing a dramatic decrease in UAP activity at nuclear weapons production and assembly sites after 1953, suggesting a possible shift in the phenomenon's behavior during the mid-1950s.
A nuclear-related surface shot is fired at Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands in 1956.
The successful publication of this research in Scientific Reports, a Nature portfolio journal, represents a significant milestone for UAP research. Most papers discussing unidentified anomalous phenomena face rejection from mainstream scientific journals, often dismissed without serious consideration. Having this work pass peer review means independent scientists examined the methodology and data analysis without finding grounds to reject the findings as unsubstantiated.
Dr. Villarroel acknowledged the study's limitations while defending its validity. Automated methods identified the more than 100,000 transients in the dataset, and while a subset has undergone manual verification, more sophisticated validation using artificial intelligence might reduce potential misidentifications and strengthen the signal-to-noise ratio. The UAP witness report data also contains inherent noise due to observer error and the lack of systematic validation for individual reports. Additionally, observations came from a single geographic point—the Palomar Observatory - while nuclear tests and UAP reports occurred worldwide.
"Nature can always surprise us with something we could never have imagined. So, I cannot exclude that there might be some other explanation that is just outside my imagination," Dr. Villarroel told NewsNation. "But from what I see, I cannot find any other consistent explanation than that we are looking at something artificial." The research team systematically ruled out prosaic explanations including photographic plate contamination, emulsion defects, nuclear fallout effects, and atmospheric phenomena created by the explosions themselves.
Historical Context and Future Implications
The findings add empirical weight to decades of anecdotal reports connecting UAP sightings to nuclear facilities and weapons tests. Witness accounts from the 1950s frequently described unusual metallic objects appearing before, during, and after nuclear detonations. Former military personnel have testified about UAP interference with nuclear missile systems, including the famous 1967 Malmstrom Air Force Base incident where multiple intercontinental ballistic missiles mysteriously went offline during a reported UAP encounter.
Dr. Villarroel noted that if the transients truly represent artificial objects in high-altitude orbits or within the upper atmosphere, they may still be present today. The transient database contains approximately 35,000 objects in the northern hemisphere alone, suggesting a substantial population of whatever phenomena the observations represent. Whether these objects continue to monitor human nuclear activities remains an open question, though their apparent disappearance from nuclear testing windows after 1956 suggests the phenomenon may be responsive to changes in human behavior.
The research raises fundamental questions about human understanding of both our planet's space environment and the potential for non-human intelligence to observe terrestrial activities. While the study's authors carefully avoid definitive conclusions about the nature of the transients, their data-driven approach provides a template for future investigations. As observational technologies advance and more historical photographic archives undergo digital analysis, researchers may uncover additional patterns that either support or challenge the current findings.
The intersection of nuclear weapons development and unexplained aerial phenomena represents one of the most persistent threads in UAP research. This peer-reviewed study transforms what was previously anecdotal into statistically significant correlation, moving the conversation from speculation toward empirically grounded investigation. Whether the transients represent previously unknown atmospheric physics, surveillance technology from an unknown source, or something entirely unexpected, their systematic documentation in the scientific literature marks an important step toward understanding one of humanity's most enduring mysteries.

3I/Atlas: The Mysterious Interstellar Visitor That Sparked a Debate Between Science and Alien Theories
3I/Atlas: The Mysterious Interstellar Visitor That Sparked a Debate Between Science and Alien Theories
3I/Atlas: The Mysterious Interstellar Visitor Stirring Scientific Debate
When the faint glow of a fast-moving object appeared in telescopic images earlier this year, astronomers realized they were witnessing something extraordinary — an interstellar visitor entering our solar system for only the third time in recorded history. Designated 3I/Atlas, this enigmatic body has reignited debate about the origins of such cosmic travelers and whether any might be more than just natural debris.
A New Interstellar Arrival
Before 3I/Atlas, only two interstellar objects had been confirmed: 1I/‘Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. Unlike ordinary comets from the distant Oort Cloud, interstellar bodies arrive on hyperbolic orbits — their speeds too high for the Sun’s gravity to capture. 3I/Atlas entered the solar system at roughly 130,000 miles per hour (210,000 km/h), a velocity that immediately marked it as an outsider. Its discovery excited astronomers and observers alike, not only for what it might teach us about other star systems, but also for its peculiar behavior and composition.
Avi Loeb’s Controversial Hypothesis
Harvard astrophysicist Professor Avi Loeb, known for proposing that ‘Oumuamua might have been alien technology, once again drew public attention by suggesting that 3I/Atlas could also be of artificial origin. Loeb urged NASA to release high-resolution images reportedly taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the James Webb Space Telescope, arguing that the data could clarify whether the object is natural or something more remarkable.
He has rated the possibility of alien technology at 4 out of 10 — not a firm claim, but enough to call for scientific transparency:
“The politics of the day should not sabotage science. They have the data. They should share it with scientists,” Loeb said in an interview.
The MUFON Panel: A Scientific Counterpoint
A detailed discussion hosted by MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) brought together astronomer Mark D’Antonio and astrophotographer Greg Cisco, who both argued that 3I/Atlas appears to be a comet, not a spacecraft. Their reasoning rests on several observational facts:
No artificial structure has been detected — only a bright, diffuse coma typical of comets.
No measurable acceleration (the “rocket effect” seen in active comets) has yet been confirmed.
The object’s chemical composition includes carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, cyanogen, and nickel — elements common in cometary materials, though in unusual ratios.
An apparent “forward-pointing tail” is explained by a known optical effect called an anti-tail, caused by the geometry of the Earth, comet, and Sun.
Cisco noted that anti-tails have been recorded many times before and are purely a matter of perspective. D’Antonio added that the presence of nickel without iron, while unusual, does not necessarily imply a technological source — only that this comet formed under different conditions than most known comets.
What Makes 3I/Atlas Unique
Despite skepticism toward alien theories, 3I/Atlas remains scientifically fascinating. Its path through the solar system is highly unusual — entering almost parallel to the planetary plane, an orientation estimated to occur by chance only once in 200,000 events (0.0005% probability). This rare geometry means the object’s approach offers astronomers a chance to study interstellar materials under different light and gravitational conditions.
Moreover, its chemical profile stands out: higher concentrations of carbon dioxide and nickel than seen in most comets suggest it formed in a colder or metal-richer environment, possibly in the outer regions of another star system.
Debunking the Myths
As 3I/Atlas gained attention, social media filled with sensational claims — that it was accelerating faster than light, that it had six headlights, or that it was a cylindrical mothership photographed near Mars. Experts swiftly debunked these stories. The “cylinder” image, for example, was simply a time-exposure streak captured by the Perseverance Rover’s camera, not a solid object. And no object with mass can move at the speed of light without turning into pure energy — a basic consequence of Einstein’s relativity.
The Call for Open Data
Professor Loeb’s insistence on releasing all available imagery reflects a broader tension in modern science: public access versus institutional control. Loeb argues that withholding high-resolution data prevents independent researchers from performing peer review and slows discovery. Whether or not NASA is truly delaying data for political reasons, his call highlights the importance of transparency in astronomical research, especially for events that stir global curiosity.
Expert Consensus: Probably a Natural Visitor
After extensive analysis, both D’Antonio and Cisco concluded that 3I/Atlas behaves like a natural comet. Its brightness, tail structure, and lack of obvious propulsion or structure point to natural origins. They each rated the probability of an alien spacecraft as 1 out of 10, compared with Loeb’s more generous 4. Their conclusion echoes the cautious approach of mainstream astronomy: intriguing anomalies don’t automatically imply extraterrestrial technology.
Why 3I/Atlas Still Matters
Even if it proves entirely natural, 3I/Atlas provides a window into the chemistry of other solar systems. By studying its dust and gas emissions, astronomers can infer how distant planetary systems evolve, what materials form their planets, and how often solid bodies are ejected into interstellar space.
Objects like ‘Oumuamua, Borisov, and Atlas may be the first of many interstellar visitors we’ll encounter as survey technology improves. Each one carries clues about the wider galaxy — perhaps even precursors to future discoveries of genuine alien artifacts.
Conclusion
3I/Atlas reminds us that science often thrives in the space between mystery and evidence. While Avi Loeb’s provocative theories keep public imagination alive, the data so far paints a more grounded picture: a rare, unusually bright interstellar comet gliding past our Sun before disappearing into the void once again.
Whether natural or not, 3I/Atlas challenges us to look deeper, question boldly, and share knowledge openly — the true spirit of exploration that drives humanity’s search for understanding in the cosmos.
Data show that unidentified lights in archival astronomy images were 68% more likely to be imaged 24 hours after a nuclear weapons test.
Transients studied by the VASCO project, which attempts to pin down the sources for these mysterious flashes of light seen in archival sky survey photographs.

In the 1950s, mysterious flashes of light were captured on photographic plates taken at the Palomar Observatory in California. Two new studies claim that these flashes were caused by reflective objects in high-Earth orbit connected to sightings of alleged unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), a new catch-all term for UFOs not only in the sky, but also in space or even that travel through water.
For the past few years, astronomers including Beatriz Villarroel, of Nordita, Stockholm University, have been scrutinizing photographic plates exposed in the years before the Space Age began, as part of the Vanishing and Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO) project. The aim of VASCO is to use archival data, now digitized, to search for new astrophysical transients, which are objects that brighten or fade, sometimes dramatically. These objects can appear as a spot of light in one image of the sky or space, only to vanish in the next.
Villarroel and study co-author Stephen Bruehl, a professor of anesthesiology from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, say their data show a statistical correlation between these flashes of light and reported sightings of unidentified objects. “We speculate that some transients could potentially be UAP in Earth orbit that, if descending into the atmosphere, might provide the stimulus for some UAP sightings,” they write in one of the new studies.

When VASCO launched, it had the stated aim of looking for stars that had vanished, which could for example signal a massive starcollapsing into black hole without exploding as a supernova. VASCO could potentially also reveal new types of variable stars, active galactic nuclei, stellar flares or even brand new phenomena.
Sometimes the transients VASCO studies are unexplained, which has previously led Villarroel to a startling conclusion: that some of the objects detected on the plates are metallic objects in high Earth-orbit, before the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957.
“Today we know that short flashes of light are often solar reflections from flat, highly reflective objects in orbit around the Earth, such as satellites and space debris, but the photographic plates analyzed in VASCO were taken before humans had satellites in space,” Villarroel said in a statement.

VASCO researchers analyzed 106,000 transients that look like stars that appeared and swiftly disappeared in a single exposure between the years 1951 and 1957. In particular, the appearance of the unidentified transients were 68% more likely to occur the day after a nuclear weapons test in Earth’s atmosphere than on other day, Bruehl added in the statement.
“The magnitude of the association between these flashes of light and nuclear tests was surprising, as was the very specific time at which they most often occurred – namely, the day after a test,” said Bruehl. “What they might represent is a very fascinating question that needs further investigation.”
In their study, Villarroel and Bruehl also found that the transients captured by the photographic plates increased by an average of 8.5% for each UAP sighting that was reported.
In a second study, which also included researchers from Algeria, India, Nigeria, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United States, they found that one anomalous transient coincided with a cluster of flying saucer sightings over Washington, D.C., on 27 July 1952. This particular transient, along with several others, was an instance where multiple flashes of light were seen along a narrow band. This, says Villarroel, suggests flat, reflective objects in motion high above Earth that were reflecting sunlight – a hypothesis supported by the fact that the number of mystery transients drops off in parts of the sky in Earth’s shadow, where sunlight can’t reach.
“You don’t get those kinds of solar reflections from round objects like asteroids or dust grains in space, which leave streaks during a 50-minute exposure, but only if something is very flat and very reflective and reflects the sunlight with a short flash,” said Villarroel.

Villarroel and Bruehl propose another possible explanation, however: that nuclear weapons tests triggered some unknown atmospheric phenomenon that went unnoticed at the time. But Villarroel and Bruehl are skeptical that such a phenomenon would stand still in the atmosphere for 24 hours between the weapons test and when the plate was exposed at Palomar in California. The transients do not seem to be particles of nuclear fallout that have drifted down onto the photographic plate either, since such particles would produce foggy, diffuse spots, not pinpoint, star-like objects.
The explanation Villarroel and Bruehl focus on most in their papers is that these transients are UAP of some kind. Their study connects the nuclear tests to sightings, which have been reported in the vicinity of nuclear sites for decades. "Significantly more UAP sightings were reported within nuclear weapons testing windows (test date + /- 1 day) than outside of testing windows," they report in their study.
There are, of course, many caveats. Critics have claimed that the transients could be photographic defects, or contamination, especially as the plates are quite old and were stored away for many decades before being digitized.
Villarroel and Bruehl perhaps also give too much credit to reports of UFO sightings. Their reported correlation of 8.5% between the appearance of the transients and flying saucer sightings is only relevant if it can be assumed those UAP sightings are credible in the first place. There may also be an observation bias – the 1950s were the heyday of UFO sightings, so it is perhaps not too surprising that there were sightings coinciding with the appearance of transients, since UAP sightings were reported on many different days.
Ultimately, correlation does not necessarily mean causation, and Villarroel and Bruehl do acknowledge this in their study.
In SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, researchers tend to assume that any unexplained phenomena isn’t aliens, and to exhaust every possible natural explanation before invoking an extraterrestrial one. This approach would be helpful here, although what those alternative explanations might be are not yet certain.
Because of the nuclear test-ban treaty there is, quite rightly, no way to test the hypothesis that the transients are related to atmospheric phenomena caused by nuclear explosions, of which there were at least 124 above the ground between 1951 and 1957.
For now, the discovery of the transients remains an intriguing puzzle. One possible way forward that has been suggested is to try and repeat the observations on the modern day sky. If geosynchronous satellites that we know about produce similar patterns of transients on photographic plates, then that would strengthen the hypothesis that the transients on the Palomar plates could depict metallic objects reflecting sunlight in high orbit.

According to an American congressman, there may be "five or six" undersea bases off the US coast where aliens could be hiding.
According to Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee, alien "entities" are already residing in Earth's deep waters. Social media was rocked by the assertions made by the member of the House Oversight Committee thatdeals with UFO cases.
Burchett made the suggestion that intelligent alien entities or civilizations might have beenlurking beneath the waterfor "millennia" in a now-viral video that was uploaded to X on September 17.
“There have been frequent sightings of unidentified craft in about five or six specific deep sea areas,” Burchett stated in a sidewalk interview with Red Panda Koala, a UFO researcher and documentary maker.
"We have naval personnel telling me that we have sightings ... of these underwater crafts that they're chasing," he said.

"[The underwater crafts] they're chasing are doing hundreds of miles an hour, and the best we've got is something that does maybe just a little bit under 40 miles an hour".
"I've got a lot of questions about that stuff," he added. He added in the brief video that humans know more about the moon's surface than the ocean floor.
Despite these assertions, the public has not been provided with any substantiating proof, such as artifacts or unobscured video of these crafts.
The claims are questioned, according to critics, because they are based on anecdotal stories from military personnel and lack peer-reviewed scientific data.
After Burchett's disclosures, Dr. Michael Salla said that one of the purported UFO bases was located in an area of the Atlantic Ocean close to the Bahamas.
The author and researcher who specializes in extraterrestrial phenomena claimed to have also had conversations with reliable informants who verified the existence of these undersea outposts, including high-ranking military and executive branch personnel.
According to Dr. Salla, AUTEC, a top-secret undersea facility run by the US Navy, is comparable to Area 51. That particular area of the Atlantic Ocean was home to the Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Centre, or AUTEC.
"Just to the right of it is the Tongue of the Ocean, which is a very deep part of the ocean there in the Bahamas," he said on the Redacted podcast on September 19. It drops off immediately around 3000 ft."
"So that's ideal for a submarine, but it's also a place where people have seen many UFOs, many underwater crafts coming into and leaving the water."
Dr. Salla claimed to have spoken with two eyewitnesses, one of which was a US Army whistleblower who went by the moniker JP, who claimed to have visited these covert bases.
Alien hunters claim they have 'solved' Roswell mystery as new 'crash site footage' emerges
Alien hunters claim they have 'solved' Roswell mystery as new 'crash site footage' emerges
The Roswell Incident has resurfaced on the US National Archives website and has sparked fresh speculation over one of the world's most enduring UFO mysteries
Alien enthusiasts believe they have discovered crashed "UFO debris" and "alien bodies" in newly uncovered footage of the Roswell incident.
The extraterrestrial fanatics claim to have made this discovery after a 22-minute video titled The Roswell Incident quietly appeared on the US National Archives website.
This has reignited speculation over one of the world's most persistentUFO mysteries. The footage, primarily composed of images from the published Roswell Report and various magazines and books about UFOs, concludes with a striking black-and-white image of a crater littered with metallic debris.
Internet users are adamant that the scene mirrors long-standing accounts of the alleged 1947 UFO crash site.
Some argue that the footage reveals an alien body, although experts remain doubtful. UFO researcher Mark Lee stated: "Just because it's been added to the National Archives doesn't give it scientific validation. If it came out as a release from the military or Congress, I would take it a lot more seriously."
WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 29: A group of protestors march in front of the General Accounting Office (GAO) 29 March to raise awarness about an examination being conducted by the GAO for documents about a weather balloon crash at Roswell, N.M. in 1947. The protestors believe the balloon was a crashed UFO.

He also pointed out that the supposed "alien" is likely pareidolia – the human tendency to perceive faces in patterns.
Official inquiries have consistently attributed the "UFO debris" to Project Mogul, a Cold War balloon program designed to detect Soviet nuclear tests.
However, the recently posted film has reignited debate, with believers praising it as another piece in the "slow drip" of disclosure over the Roswell mystery.
A trove of unearthed government documents has detailed a secret face-to-face encounter with aliens beings more than 60 years ago.
More than 50 pages of CIA files, which theFBI continues to say are fakes, claimed that a secret government program established communications with UFOs in 1959.
Project Sigma, started in 1954, used a binary computer language sent along radio signals into space to make contact with alien life.
Just five years after the interstellar connection, an official from the US Air Force met the extraterrestrialswho received these messages.
The files claimed that on April 25, 1964, a single intelligence officer met with two aliens at a prearranged location in the New Mexico desert - the same state that the famous Roswell UFO crash allegedly took place.
The meeting lasted for about three hours, during which time the intelligence officer and the extraterrestrials shared 'basic information' about their respective races.
The documents also detailed how a secret government group called the Majestic 12 used their incredible power to keep top secret information on UFOs away from the military and the even White House.
Several classified projects focused on alien communication and UFO research allegedly fell under the Majestic 12's control - with the group revealing to the CIA that they succeeded in their goals of finding alien life.
The UFO task force was reportedly created by President Harry Truman in 1947
Project Sigma, which was allegedly run by the secret group Majestic 12, spent five years trying to make radio contact with UFOs before succeeding in 1959
According to documents that emerged in the 1980s, the Majestic 12 (MJ-12) was a committee of high-ranking military, scientific, and intelligence officials assembled after the now-famous UFO crash in Roswell.
The 12-person team was allegedly established through a secret executive order by President Harry Truman in 1947.
For over two decades, these experts were tasked with managing investigations into UFOs and extraterrestrial contact.
The CIA files stated that MJ-12 oversaw four specific projects charged with communicating with aliens, researching UFOs, recovering crashed alien ships, and testing out whatever advanced technology they could find.
MJ-12 stated that it took five years before they finally made successful contact with UFOs in 1959, noting that the group 'established primitive communications with the Aliens,' using binary code sent by radio.
Binary is the lowest-level language computers understand, directly corresponding to electrical states in hardware. It represents all data (text, numbers, instructions) as sequences of 0s and 1s.
And scientists searching for alien life still uses the method to this day.
This basic form of communication would led to the meeting between the Air Force and these aliens in 1964, with MJ-12 stating that 'the Air Force officer managed to exchange basic information with the two Aliens.'
A secret government group known as the Majestic 12 was allegedly in charge of test flying a recovered UFO
Majestic 12 wrote at the time that this project was still continuing 'at an Air Force base in New Mexico.'
Following the historic meeting, MJ-12 established Project Snowbird in 1972 with a mission of test flying a recovered alien aircraft.
The classified report said that project was still taking place in a secret Nevada base - which many UFO researchers today believe is Area 51.
Despite being secretly appointed by the president, the uncovered documents also detailed how MJ-12 actively withheld information from top officials and even insulted those who they felt didn't need to know about UFOs.
'Apparently, White House requested info,' the members of MJ-12 wrote in a CIA memo. 'Can't seem to make those fools realize [this] info is not available for any dissemination.'
Later in the same letter, the group told the CIA not to allow a group labeled as 'AF' (which may have stood for the Air Force) to have access their data.
The top secret encounter was not found in the declassified CIA archives, but were instead uncovered after being quietly made available to the public at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library that opened in 1991.
CIA files allegedly written by the Majestic 12 revealed that the group was openly keeping secrets on UFO research from government officials, including members of the White House
MJ-12's existence became public knowledge after an alleged government whistleblower mailed a report on the group's activities to UFO researchers in 1984.
However, the FBI labeled the mysterious UFO document as 'bogus' and claimed that the group, the involvement of the experts named in the report, and MJ-12's mission were all a work of fiction.
In 1988, the intelligence community added that there were serious inconsistencies and formatting errors in the decades-old briefing for President Eisenhower that suggests it's a forgery.
Despite the US intelligence community's attempt to discredit the whistleblower, the details in it matched several of the key facts found in the Reagan Library papers - including the names of the 12 men in Majestic 12.
According to the unearthed documents, MJ-12 included Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, the first CIA director, Dr Vannevar Bush, head of US scientific research during World War II, James Forrestal, the first US Secretary of Defense, and General Nathan Twining, the Air Force commander in charge of research and development of new aircraft.
Coincidentally, this research and development program was based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio - the same military facility the debris from the Roswell UFO crash was allegedly taken to in 1947.
Dr Hal Puthoff, a physicist and UFO researcher, recently noted on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that one of his colleagues spoke to the commander of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and confirmed that the crash really happened.
'They say it was the real deal, that this was a real unidentifiable crash and these materials were really, really from out someplace,' Puthoff said.
In reference to Projects Snowbird and Pounce, Puthoff also claimed that the US government currently has 'at least 10' crashed UFOs in their possession that they're still studying.
Majestic 12 was allegedly created by a secret executive order by President Harry Truman following the UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico
Since the 1947 crash at Roswell, the US intelligence community has allegedly been keeping the existence of alien life and UFOs a secret, with some declassified documents from that time stating that officials believed the talk about UFOs would cause a public panic
As for why this shocking meeting in 1964 and all the communications between UFOs has been hidden for 60 years, another declassified CIA document appears to answer that mystery.
Found in the CIA's archives of declassified files, DailyMail.com uncovered a memo from 1953 which essentially shut down any public discussion of UFOs over fear that the US government would lose control over the general public.
According to the Scientific Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects in January 1953: 'The continued emphasis on the reporting of these phenomena does, in these perilous times, result in a threat to the orderly functioning of the protective organa of the body politic.'
The five-person panel, made up of academic experts from universities throughout the US, concluded that UFOs did not pose a direct threat to national security during the Cold War.
Moreover, the panel's memo recommended that the government 'strip' UFOs of the 'special status' these sightings had already attained after Roswell.
Thousands of objects sent by a non-human intelligence may have been spying on the world's nuclear tests all the way back in the 1940s.
A groundbreaking study has just been published, providing verified evidence that something or someone was observing our nuclear sites from space long before the first human satellites were ever launched into orbit.
Dr Beatriz Villarroel from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden revealed a clear connection between nuclear tests between 1949 and 1957 and an increase in the number of mysterious bright spots called 'transients' appearing in the sky.
These transients are not believed to be a natural phenomenon, with Villarroel saying they showed signs of being highly reflective, like a mirror, and even spinning like a flying saucer.
The publication of these findings was a major milestone, as most papers discussing the existence of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) are rejected by the scientific community.
Having the work successfully peer-reviewed means other scientists have looked over the data and could not find anything to dismiss the team's findings as just another unproven story about UFOs.
Overall, researchers discovered that the mysterious transients were 45 percent more likely to be spotted flying overhead just before or right after a nuclear test.
'These are objects before Sputnik One when humans had nothing up there, and these things, no matter what they are, they need to be really flat, reflective like a mirror, and I personally don't know anything natural that looks like that,' Villarroel said.
Photos from the 1940s and 1950s revealed thousands of bright spots called transients appearing in Earth orbit during the world's early nuclear tests
The US had been experimenting with nuclear power since the first atomic tests of the famous Manhattan Project during World War II (pictured)
The study, published in Scientific Reports by Villarroel and Dr Stephen Bruehl, analyzed mysterious star-like objects seen in old photos from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey in California during the early nuclear days of the US, UK, and Soviet Union.
Specifically, researchers focused on 124 above-ground nuclear bomb tests conducted by the three nations, causing explosions in the open air, not underground as these tests are carried out today.
The unknown objects appeared briefly and then vanished, and they were captured on camera before humans began launching any kind of devices into space, so they can't be explained as human-made craft.
Not only did the researchers find that UFO sightings went up on days when nuclear testing was taking place, but the total number of transients spotted in the photos also increased by 8.5 percent.
These unidentified objects were most likely to appear the day after a nuclear test, making explanations that the sightings were just streaks or clouds created by the explosions unlikely.
'Nature can always surprise us with something we could never have imagined. So, I cannot exclude that there might be some other explanation that is just outside my imagination,' Villarroel told NewsNation.
'But from what I see, I cannot find any other consistent explanation than that we are looking at something artificial,' she added.
Investigative journalist and author Ross Coulthart noted: 'The implications are this might be the first scientific evidence of a non-human intelligence.'
Transients were more likely to be spotted the day after a nuclear test was conducted, eliminating the possibility of the spots be a result of the explosion

Villarroel could not say for sure whether the objects spotted in Earth's orbit in the 1950s were still there, but noted that if they were truly constructed by a non-human intelligence, they may still be circling the planet.
The scientists found over 100,000 transients during their observations, with about 35,000 in the northern hemisphere alone.
The study found nearly 60 of these artificial objects floating in orbit on days when there was nuclear testing, and witnesses reported seeing UFOs.
That number went down to 40 transients on days when only one of these two events took place.
The newly peer-reviewed study is not the only evidence that a non-human intelligence may have been visiting Earth during the Cold War.
A trove of unearthed government documents recently detailed a secret face-to-face encounter with alien beings more than 60 years ago.
While the US government has continued to deny that an alien craft was recovered, whistleblowers have claimed that the Roswell UFO is real and is just one of several non-human craft the US military has recovered since 1947.
But a private contractor revealed 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 NYPost.
'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.
The company reportedly offered a live demonstration of their manned aerial craft, which had an unconventional appearance.
Sharing details of the demonstration, which went for about 30 minutes above Fort Rucker in the controlled airspace, the source said: 'When it turned you almost completely lose sight of it.
'Which is why I think people were seeing this up in the sky and why there were reports of people seeing it and saying it disappeared.'
The November sightings sparked mass hysteria and concerns over the existence of UFOs after footage went viral of unidentified objects lighting up the night sky
In a short 13 second clip posted to social media in November 2024, a white light blinked in the sky before suddenly vanishing, leaving onlookers stunned.
In the footage, which was shot close near Atlantic City, family members were heard discussing what they witnessed before the object suddenly disappears.
'It just vanished!' one said. 'I just watched it through the telescope.'
Some 964 sightings of flying objects were logged in the state between November 19 up until December 13, according to statistics collected by the state’s Office of Emergency Management.
She told Fox News Live that the drone sightings were 'extremely unsettling,' and shared her theory that they may be part of a technology 'test' orchestrated by the federal government.
Ballman said: 'Now in terms of who is behind this, seeing the statements that have been made by John Kirby, who has said that these objects are not operating illegally.
'Coupled with the several op-eds that have been out there in the last 24 hours about the need to look at our detection systems, [it] makes me think perhaps this is actually a classified exercise to test either evasion technology or detection technology in urban areas.'

Footage of the bizarre flying objects appeared to show them 'disappearing'
At the time, there were suggestions that the aircrafts (pictured) were part of a classified project
White House National Security spokesman John Kirby had confirmed the aircraft were not foreign.
'We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat or have a foreign nexus,' Kirby said.
'The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they're working closely with the state and local law enforcement to provide resources using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin.'
He said the agencies used 'very sophisticated electronic detection technologies' but 'have not been able to corroborate any of the reported visual sightings.'
'To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft being operated lawfully,' he said.
Mysterious Declassified UFO Footage Released by the Pentagon

Top Declassified UFO Videos Released by the Pentagon
👽 From mysterious orb-like objects in the Middle East to strange aerial events over U.S. military ranges, these official government UFO videos shed light on unexplained encounters documented by infrared sensors, drones, and surveillance aircraft.
For such a long time, the Pentagon kept its knowledge of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) under wraps. However, this is evolving with the department unveiling videos on its UFO-dedicated website.
The brief clips depict unexplained aerial phenomena in various shapes and sizes, such as a sphere over Middle Eastern buildings, a milk bottle-like object over the US, and the renowned 2004 US Navy capture of the Tic Tac.
The Defense Department's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office analyzed U.S. government investigations since 1945 and concluded that there was no indication of alien life or a conspiracy to hide reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technology.
The study refuted claims, such as a former CIA official managing extraterrestrial technology, and declared a purported 1961 intelligence community document about UFOs' extraterrestrial nature as inauthentic. The report stated that most sightings were misidentifications of ordinary objects and phenomena, aligning with past efforts to assess UFO claims. Another report volume is expected later.
UFOs, often depicted as saucers, vary. A South Asian clip in January 2023 shows a classic saucer-like object swiftly moving. AARO suggests the object is likely a commercial aircraft, dismissing concerns of extraterrestrial activity.
Milk Bottle
The US Navy captured a UFO that resembles a 'milk bottle' or bowling pin and it was serenely tracked in a video. As it glides, its shape transforms into a saucer, and its silhouette changes from white to black. The clip's origin is unclear, surfacing on the internet around 2020 before being added to the AARO site.
Sphere #1
In July 2022, an MQ-9 UAV in the Middle East recorded a silver orb-like object flying close to the ground. The MQ-9's camera tracked the object, but AARO found it not exhibiting anomalous behavior, categorizing it as unidentified. This video represents many cases with limited data surrounding observations, according to the office.
Sphere #2
In an undisclosed location in 2021, a Navy fighter jet's cockpit recorded a sphere-like UFO swiftly passing on the right during a calm flight through blue skies. AARO comments that the video showcases the typical speed at which military aircraft may encounter unknown objects.
Tic Tac
The iconic 'Tic Tac' UFO, resembling the breath mint, gained fame in 2004 when captured by US Navy pilots off the Southern California coast. Despite its high-speed maneuvers and lack of recognizable features, like flight control surfaces or propulsion, its nature remains unexplained, with similar sightings reported globally.
Fast Speck
In an undisclosed location, a mysterious clip shows a small white speck swiftly moving across choppy waters, filmed by a US Navy F/A-18 jet crew. As the system's trackers zoom in, the crew reacts with amazement. AARO noted that the object the term 'UFO' doesn't necessarily imply extraterrestrial origin, and so prefers 'unidentified anomalous phenomenon' to avoid associations with conspiracy theories and paranoia.

Pentagon confirms UFO video is real, taken by Navy pilot
In a time-lapse video that covered 30 minutes of surveillance, viewers could see dozens of small lights speeding by in all directions like shooting stars as Popocatépetl billowed with smoke.
The famed UFO hotspot has been a constant source of extraterrestrial speculation, with witnesses photographing strange objects appearing to fly into and around the volcano for decades.
While some on social media have dismissed the strange lights as insects in the camera's way, others pointed out that the objects could be seen flying behind the volcano's smoke clouds, arguing that proves they were much farther away.
However, Alejandro Rojas, an advisor at Enigma Labs, which analyzes reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), was not convinced the light swarm was an actual UFO sighting, noting that the nature of the video means everything caught on camera will seem strange.
'What looks to be moving swiftly is actually moving much more slowly. So, airplanes, satellites, or anything else coming into the frame will appear to be zipping past when they are not,' Rojas told the Daily Mail.
He added that those claiming it was just a trick of the light caused by insects may be right as well, explaining that webcams emit invisible infrared light at night, which often illuminates bugs and birds that fly close enough to the camera.
A time-lapsed video, filming 30 minutes around Popocatépetl volcano, captured dozens of strange objects appearing to streak by the mountain
Luis Guerra, a resident in the central Mexico city of Atlixco, photographed this image of an apparent UFO above the Popocatépetl volcano in 2023
'You can see the stars in the background moving quickly, whereas their movement in relation to the Earth is not discernible to the naked eye,' Rojas continued.
'That means everything is moving much faster than its actual speed. I do not see anything in this video that is particularly anomalous that could not be explained,' the UFO investigator declared.
Despite skepticism that the light show over Popocatépetl was a fleet of alien craft, the sighting adds to a literal mountain of evidence that has been caught on camera at the volcano.
In 2023, Luis Guerra was in his backyard when he heard a blast from the volcano and looked up to see a saucer-shaped object hovering over the opening of Popocatépetl.
It's one of several reported UFO sightings when Popocatépetl was active, prompting UFO conspiracy theorists to claim extraterrestrials were studying Earth's geothermal activity to understand how it works.
However, noted UFO researcher Jaime Maussan has come up with an even more astounding theory of what's happening at Popocatépetl: aliens have been using the volcano as a 'wormhole' to a distant point in space.
According to Maussan, UFOs seen flying directly into the volcano have been entering an 'interdimensional portal' which could both leave our planet and serve as a doorway to return to Earth later.
The controversial journalist from Mexico cited years of webcam footage and photos showing glowing orbs and discs entering the crater, which would be too hot for any human technology to survive.

Backed by NASA's research on magnetic 'X-points' around Earth, Maussan's theory suggested the volcano's magnetic fields create a portal that allows UFOs to phase through space and time.
There has been no confirmation of Maussan's claims about the Popocatépetl volcano.
The journalist has been tied to several debunked theories, including multiple incidents where Maussan claimed to have evidence of real UFO sightings, only for it to be debunked as a comet or star in the night sky.
Maussan has also claimed to have discovered physical evidence of mummified alien corpses on three separate occasions, but none of the incidents have been proven true.
'I have not seen anything that would lead me to believe there is something mysterious going on,' Rojas said regarding Maussan's wormhole claims.
'The Popocatépetl volcano is an exciting place, and it feels magical, but I don't think it is a portal to another world. The magic we see is the result of the standard mechanics of our amazing planet and its natural wonders,' he added.
Clear and startling images of what appears to be a UFO were captured over Los Angeles, sparking fresh debate about what's flying over America's biggest cities.
A pair ofLos Angelesresidents were on their balcony when they spotted a black, V-shaped craft covered in lights moving slowly over the city on August 28.
The sighting went on for roughly 25 minutes, with the UFO flying south until the witnesses eventually lost sight of it around 11:38pm local time (2:38am ET).
The pair was able to capture both pictures and clear videos with a cellphone camera, zooming in to see nine white lights along the UFO's hull.
UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee told the Daily Mail he believes the craft was not an alien spaceship, adding it was likely an unmanned drone testing out new technology for the US government or some other world power.
However, Lee made one stunning claim based on his analysis of this sighting and several famous UFO incidents throughout the UK, suggesting that the US military has created technology many would think was still only science fiction in 2025.
'I'm convinced that a lot of famous UFO incidents are basically highly advanced terrestrial technology that is 30 to 40 years ahead of what we think they have,' Lee explained.
Regardless of where the craft came from, it's the latest report of a strange V-shaped craft, or chevron, flying over the US in recent months.
Two people in Los Angeles revealed video of a supposed UFO flying over Los Angeles on August 28
The UFO was seen having a V shape with nine lights along its body
This UFO report was submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) on August 30, a volunteer-operated nonprofit group that's been collecting UFO reports since 1974.
The latest sighting was the 34th chevron spotted throughout the country in 2025.
According to NUFORC, there have been several reports this year which specifically mention seeing a V-shaped wedge or triangle with multiple lights along its surface flying over the US.
'It stayed in the same area for about 25–30 minutes for the first time I saw it,' the witness in LA said in their report.
'It moved around a little bit but didn't go too far. At the end it just flew off in the south direction until I couldn't see it anymore,' they added.
The boomerang-shaped object also appeared to have a small body at its center, making it look similar to a F-117 stealth fighter.
However, that plane, built by the US Air Force, never had large lights on the outside of the craft.
'It's definitely not flares and is in my opinion a structured craft, most likely a top secret drone,' Lee declared.
According to the National UFO Reporting Center, there have been multiple V-shaped UFO sightings throughout the US in 2025
Lee noted that he thought the witness's video was genuine, adding that the poor quality coming from the cellphone at that time of night rules out the use of AI and CGI special effects.
NUFORC added a one-word note as a possible explanation for the sighting, writing 'Ultralight?'
An ultralight refers to a type of small, lightweight aircraft, often just a motorized hang glider or powered parachute, that's popular among recreational flyers.
These are super basic machines, having a minimal frame, no heavy engine, and being generally quiet and slow-moving.
Los Angeles has a storied history with UFO sightings, going all the way back to the infamous 'Battle of Los Angeles' in 1942 when the US military shot at what they thought were could have been alien ships invading the West Coast.
Lee also noted the claims that Catalina Island, just off the California coast, could be the location of a secret underwater alien base.
Lee thinks LA isn't actually an alien hotspot, but a hotbed of activity by super-advanced human technology being launched from nearby facilities such as Vandenberg Space Force Base, Edwards Air Force Base, and the infamous Area 51.
Three Minneapolis police officers spotted a spherical Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) with six glowing rings that changed colors.
The anonymous witnesses filed a report with Americans for Safe Aerospace, a non-profit led by former US Navy pilot and whistleblower Ryan Graves, saying they observed the object from a parking garage using binoculars.
According to the report, one officer drove toward the UAP in a squad car while the other two continued watching from the garage.
The officers described the object as hovering at 10,000 feet, moving with both slow and hypersonic speeds, and generating lift without any sound.
Even more striking, the report described a near-proximity encounter between the UAP and a civilian helicopter.
The observation took place in the vicinity of Minnesota's Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant, a detail that has raised eyebrows among UFO researchers, given the site's strategic significance.
The incident occurred in February, but Graves shared the report on X on Monday. A similar sighting was recorded on July 7 in Anoka, about a mile from the witness.
That UFO reportedly traveled along the Mississippi River at around 460mph, then abruptly slowed and silently descended behind nearby trees.
Three police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota issued a report after seeing a spherical Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) with six glowing rings that changed colors
They were on patrol when they spotted the UAP hanging in the night sky. They said it was also near a nuclear facility in the area
While believers view the report as yet another sign of advanced unknown technology, skeptics argue the sighting likely has a conventional explanation, perhaps one already orbiting high above Earth.
Alejandro Rojas, an advisor at Enigma Labs, which analyzes reports of UAPs, told Daily Mail that the sighting may have been NASA's International Space Station (ISS).
'The ISS has flown over the area for the last few days and was very bright. What we see in the video could be the ISS, but we will need more details to rule it out,' he said.
'The video also doesn't look like 'six interlocking rings of colored lights.' A small point of light in the distance can appear to be multiple colors when it is not, due to the atmosphere between the witness and the object.
'This is called scintillation and is the same thing that makes stars twinkle.'
Rojas added that on both February 19 and July 7, the ISS had several bright flyovers in the area.
Americans for Safe Aerospace advocates for transparency in UAP research and collects reports from credible witnesses, including military and law enforcement personnel.
Graves posted on X that the platform has nearly 1000 reports, noting that more are set to be released.
However, some people have said that it was likely NASA's International Space Station that was shining brightly over the area
He is a former US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot who became one of the first military aviators to speak publicly about routine UFO encounters during training missions off the East Coast.
Graves first drew national attention after revealing that Navy pilots regularly encountered unidentified craft off the US East Coast between 2014 and 2015, objects that appeared to defy known flight physics.
These objects were detected both visually and on radar, appeared to hover against strong winds, and could accelerate instantly without visible propulsion.
In one incident, a pilot nearly collided with a cube-shaped object encased in a clear sphere.
Graves later said the encounters were so frequent they became part of pre-flight safety briefings.
He later testified before Congress about the risks these unidentified objects pose to flight safety.
Graves said the incidents were so common that pilots began discussing them as part of pre-flight safety briefings. He emphasized that whatever these craft are, advanced foreign tech or something else, they represent a serious aviation safety concern.
