UFO tracker shows thousands of eerie underwater objects lurking along US coasts

The truth is under there.

A popular UFO-reporting app has recorded thousands of sightings of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) near US waterways — phenomena which high-ranking US Navy officials warn could pose a threat to national security.

Enigma, which touts itself as the “largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings,” claims it has received reports on over 30,000 Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena since launching in late 2022.

But the sightings haven’t been limited to the skies, with reports also coming in about strange objects rising from the depths of the sea, or plunging into the water without so much as a splash.

Pentagon-reviewed footage has documented instances of unidentified craft diving into or emerging from the water without damaging the vessel or even making a splash, prompting alarm from some officials.

As of August, Enigma has also logged more than 9,000 mysterious sightings within 10 miles of US shorelines or major bodies of water — 500 of them within 5 miles — with more than 150 of the reports describing objects hovering above or descending into waterways, according to Marine Technology News.

The US states with the most reported USO sightings were California (389) and Florida (306) — both among the top three US states with the most ocean coastline. One of the most bizarre reports includes phone camera video of unexplained green lights traveling beneath the surface of the ocean.

The app has released maps plotting out the reported sightings, represented as clusters of orange dots running up and down the east and west coasts.

UFO sightings are nothing new, and are often dismissed as crackpottery by much of the scientific community or relegated to the stuff of science fiction, but retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet warns UFOs with the ability to go from air to sea without crashing or even creating a splash could have “world-changing” ramifications.

“The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering US water space and the DOD 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 March 2024 report. 

Alarm bells were raised in July 2019, when the USS Omaha recorded a UFO/UAP that vanished into the ocean without a trace after buzzing a Navy fleet off the coast of San Diego. Video of the incident was verified by the Pentagon, displaying capabilities Gallaudet said “jeopardizes U.S. maritime security, which is already weakened by our relative ignorance about the global ocean.”

In his 29-page report for UFO-focused think tank the Sol Foundation, Gallaudet said there’s a documented pattern of similar phenomena being reported.

“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,” he wrote.

UFO intel documents stolen out of Russia reveal decade-long probes into alien encounters, abductions

© Aaron Schwartz/Sipa USA via ReutersLegendary UFO reporter George Knapp was able to remove precious UFO documents from Russia in 1993 and released them January 16, 2026.

Landmark UFO documents smuggled out of Russia 30 years ago — and just publicly revealed — show the Soviets investigated thousands of reports of extraterrestrial craft and encounters with aliens.

Legendary reporter George Knapp, 73, quietly released on Jan. 16 documents he smuggled out of Russia in 1993 under the nose of the KGB after the fall of the USSR in 1991.

The translated documents reveal the shocking extent to which the USSR and the post-Soviet Russian Federation probed the persistent phenomenon — despite the communist government officially deeming UFOs a concoction of war-mongering "American imperialists" in 1953.

The USSR commissioned several studies of UFOs beginning with the "Network-AN" program in 1979, continuing with "Galaxy-MD" from 1981-1985, "Pluton 7" in 1989 and 1990, and the continuing "Thread 3" program.

 

A photo-negative of the “jellyfish” UFO that was witnessed by hundreds on Feb. 13, 1989 above the city of Nalchik.

The 1993 report claimed UFO sightings and interactions "increased greatly" after 1978.

The document included many narratives of purported UFO abductees and witnesses which the government deemed credible enough to warrant further investigation, including these:

• On Feb. 13,1989, hundreds of people witnessed a massive 450-foot wide jellyfish-shaped UFO flying 300 feet above the ground in the city of Nalchik, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. A massive red light was seen descending over the city, then splitting into equidistant green lights. After 10 minutes, the lights merged and ascended into the sky. Ninety minutes later, the massive UFO descended on the city with a smaller, more agile craft also swarming before disappearing into the night sky. Among the witnesses were military members, local airport staff and astronomers.

• Anatoly Malishev, 18, claimed he was brought onboard a craft on July 21, 1975, and flown to the home planet of the alien pilots. Malishev was sketching the sunset in the woods of the village of Blagoveshenka in the same Kabardino-Balkarian region when he saw what looked like a meteor falling from the sky. A silver disc appeared and three humanoids, including one woman with chestnut colored hair, emerged. Their planet was three light years away, and had no star but was illuminated from within. "They fastened detectors to my hands and legs, and put on my head something like a crown." Their conclusion after the examination: "very strong nerves; mental faculties below the average." The Russian investigator said he continued contact with Malishev for years and described him as "honest, kind, sympathetic" with no desire to indulge in "fantasy."

• Earthlings allegedly came into contact with a race of giant aliens on June 27, 1979, in Derzhavinsk, Kazakhstan. A group of pioneers, including many children, were traveling from Berezka when they stopped to camp near a mound. One group of boys, escorted by an adult, chased a flash on the edge of a forest and came upon 10-foot-tall, black, slender aliens with shining pink eyes. The next day, a girl and her teacher saw one of the giants sitting in a chair near the campsite. Nearly a year after the incident, investigators spoke to the children and reported they all had the same recollection of events.

The documents drew no definitive conclusion on UFOs other than to say they warranted further study.

"By releasing these documents now, George Knapp is expanding the public record, showing not only how seriously Russia confronted the UFO phenomenon," investigative journalist and Knapp's "Weaponized" podcast partner Jeremy Corbell told The Post.

Overview

A cache of previously classified Russian intelligence files, reportedly stolen from a government server and provided to the New York Post, reveals that the Russian government has been conducting a systematic investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and alleged alien‑abduction claims for more than ten years. The documents, which are internally labeled as “UFO‑INTEL,” cover a range of topics from civilian sight‑spotting reports to scientific analyses of high‑altitude sensor data. Their existence suggests a sustained, state‑level effort to assess the potential national‑security implications of what many in the scientific community and defense establishment still describe as a “high‑level unknown.”

Key Findings from the Documents

The papers, dated between 2012 and 2024, reveal a multi‑layered approach to UAP scrutiny. The earliest files show the Russian Ministry of Defence’s “A‑Group” receiving civilian reports from the civilian aviation network and from citizens’ mobile‑phone footage. By 2016, the documents indicate a shift toward joint collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences, where physic‑chemists and astrophysics researchers were tasked with analyzing sensor‑fusion data from satellite and radar sensors.

A 2019 memorandum, signed by the head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff, authorized a “target‑group” dedicated to “possible non‑human biological interactions,” which included investigations of alleged abduction narratives recorded in the Siberian and Ural regions. The group’s final 2022 summary concluded that while many reports could be explained by atmospheric optics or equipment malfunction, a small fraction remained “unexplained and potentially significant.”

The documents also contain internal communications describing the creation of a secure database (coded “K‑UFO‑NET”) intended to store raw sensor recordings and human‑witness testimony. The database’s design mirrors that of the United States’ UAP‑Centric Defense (UCD) repository, suggesting that Russian analysts were aware of, and perhaps seeking to counter‑propagate, the same international discourse on UAP.

International Context

The revelation of a Russian UAP program parallels several open‑government efforts in other capitals. The U.S. Department of Defense’s 2023 “UAP‑Report” and the 2024 formation of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s UAP‑Center both acknowledge that governments worldwide are treating unidentified aerial phenomena as a potential risk to national‑defence and air‑traffic safety.

European countries, especially France’s CNES‑GEO‑UAP group, have also admitted to maintaining “a small but dedicated” research team for decades. The Russian documents thus provide a rare glimpse into how a major world‑power’s intelligence community has internally coordinated its UAP research, filling a gap in the public record that has hitherto been largely based on speculation and official silence.

Expert Commentary

“While the existence of these files is not entirely surprising—most governments have some form of UAP monitoring—the level of detail in the Russian case is noteworthy,” said Dr. Elena Smirnova, a senior researcher at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) who studies defense‑intelligence coordination. “What is more significant is the explicit acknowledgement of possible ‘non‑human biological interactions.’ That phrasing, which mirrors language used in U.S. defense documents, indicates an emerging consensus that the unknown could have more than just physical‑flight implications.”

The New York Post’s investigative team, which obtained the files through an anonymous source, cautioned that the documents represent internal hypotheses rather than definitive proof of extraterrestrial activity. “The Russian analysts themselves repeatedly cautioned against drawing conclusions from limited data,” the Post’s editor‑in‑chief noted in an accompanying editorial.

Implications for Future Research

If the documents are authentic, they underscore a broader, global convergence of government‑sponsored UAP research. The existence of a coordinated Russian database may eventually lead to international data‑exchange channels, especially as the 2025 International UAP Consortium (IUC) – a proposed collaborative forum among the U.S., Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom – seeks to standardize reporting protocols.

In the meantime, the public’s appetite for transparency remains high. The World Government UAP Transparency Initiative, launched by the United Nations in late 2024, now has a new candidate for participant‑state documentation. As governments continue to parse the thin line between national‑security concerns and scientific curiosity, the stolen Russian files provide a rare, unfiltered view of a world‑government’s internal calculations regarding what may—or may not—be a non‑human presence in our skies.

Bottom line: The leaked Russian intelligence files confirm a decade‑long, coordinated national effort to investigate unidentified aerial phenomena and alleged alien‑abduction claims. While the records do not prove the existence of extraterrestrials, they highlight a growing consensus across world powers that the unknown deserves systematic, scientific scrutiny—and that the world’s governments are now, more than ever, looking upward with a mixture of caution and curiosity.

Overview

The latest episode of Cosmic Road examined a cluster of developments that have kept the UFO/UAP community on alert. Host Jack presented a series of clips and interviews that ranged from a new green‑light fireball sighting to legislative moves in Washington, while also touching on a paranormal report from a hospice in England. The program’s breadth underscores a growing convergence of scientific curiosity, political pressure, and public fascination with unidentified aerial phenomena.

Legislative Momentum for Whistleblower Protections

Representative Robert Garcia (D‑CA) outlined the status of a bipartisan bill aimed at strengthening protections for UFO whistleblowers. “We need a safe channel for anyone who comes forward with credible information,” Garcia told the audience, adding that the measure has attracted support from both parties. The legislation, still pending committee review, would formalize reporting procedures within the Department of Defense and shield informants from retaliation. Analysts note that such a framework could yield a surge in disclosed sightings, echoing similar reforms enacted for other national‑security whistleblowers.

Rumors of a Trump‑Era Disclosure

The episode also featured Lara Trump, who addressed circulating speculation that former President Donald Trump has prepared a “UFO disclosure speech.” While she stopped short of confirming the document’s existence, Lara recounted a recent conversation in which her husband Eric Trump asked the former president about unidentified aerial phenomena. “His answer was cautiously vague, which makes me think there’s classified material we haven’t seen,” she said. No official statement from the Trump organization has corroborated the claim, and experts caution that private anecdotes should be weighed against verifiable evidence.

Access to Reverse‑Engineering Sites

Republican Representative Eric Burlison (R‑MO) claimed that the White House is now assisting his request to tour locations where the Department of Defense allegedly reverse‑engineers recovered UFO technology. Burlison described the sites as housing “exotic materials, possible craft, and even biologics” and said the administration has “backed my outreach to the DoD” to secure visits. While the Pentagon has previously acknowledged limited investigations into anomalous aerospace objects, it has not publicly confirmed any active reverse‑engineering programs. The claim, therefore, remains unverified but adds pressure on officials to increase transparency.

Notable Sightings and Paranormal Reports

Two separate visual phenomena were highlighted. First, an infrared recording captured in Long Beach, California, in October 2017 showed a large, elongated object—described as a “mothership”—releasing smaller orbs that formed a triangular pattern before aligning vertically. Journalist George Knapp noted that the footage, taken with a modified Canon SX60, revealed wavelengths invisible to the naked eye, prompting calls for independent scientific analysis. Second, broadcaster Kevin O’Sullivan reported a series of apparitions at the Priscilla Bacon Lodge hospice in Norfolk, England, where staff and patients claimed to see a young girl in a red dress. The incident led the facility’s chaplain to request an exorcist from the Diocese of Norwich, illustrating how UFO and paranormal narratives often intersect with local cultural responses.

Outlook

Jack concluded the program with a light‑hearted viral clip of a chimpanzee reunited with a dog, juxtaposing the gravity of the preceding topics with a reminder of everyday wonder. He emphasized that the “grassroots UFO disclosure” movement—driven by citizen reports, legislative advocacy, and investigative journalism—appears to be gaining traction. As lawmakers push for clearer reporting channels and the public continues to document anomalous events, the pressure on federal agencies to provide substantive answers is likely to intensify, marking a potential shift from secrecy toward systematic transparency.

'The E.T. of Varginha': 30-year mystery of 'alien' spotted by three girls, a military 'cover-up' and a doctor only now coming forward to describe 'creature brought into his hospital'

By ELIANA SILVER, SENIOR FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER

Thirty years ago in a quiet municipality of southern Brazil, three girls came face to face with an alien-like creature that would haunt them for decades.

They described it as having a heart-shaped face, big red eyes, three horns on its forehead and a shiny brown body, crouched beside a wall in a vacant lot in the city of Varginha.

Terrified, the girls fled and told their mother they had seen the devil.

That encounter on January 20, 1996, launched the mystery of the ‘E.T. of Varginha,’ a case that remains unsolved until this day.

Now, the story is once again under the spotlight after new testimonies have come to light, including that of a doctor who claims he encountered a non-human creature in his hospital.

At the time, one of the witnesses, Liliane Silva, said: ‘It had arms and legs, like a human being, but also had three horns.’  

The girls’ account quickly spread across Brazil, becoming a national sensation and earning the nickname ‘the E.T. of Varginha.’

In the days following the sighting, local lawyer and ufologist Ubirajara Rodrigues interviewed the girls.

The girls described a creature with a heart-shaped face, big red eyes, three horns on its forehead and a shiny brown body

The alien-like creature was reportedly crouched beside a wall in a vacant lot in Varginha

After hearing their account, he told them: ‘You didn’t see a demon or an ape, you saw an extraterrestrial,’ Silva recalled years later in a documentary released to mark the anniversary.

In the weeks that followed, ufologists began collecting anonymous testimonies from people claiming to be members of the military.

They alleged that the creature had been captured alive, taken to a hospital and later transferred to the Três Corações barracks before being moved to a secret laboratory in Campinas.

One soldier claimed the being ‘barely had a nose, its eyes were very red, and its mouth was small.’ 

Residents also reported seeing a UFO flying over the area before landing.

As the story escalated, the Brazilian Army launched an official investigation.

Investigators questioned soldiers, commanders, firefighters and ufologists who had published books on the case. They also examined the movement logs of military vehicles during the relevant days.

The result was a two-volume investigation totaling 600 pages declaring the story false and blaming the media for spreading lies.

‘The military personnel cited by the press did not participate in any operation transporting any type of cargo. The media are mistaken, publicizing untrue events,’ the report stated.

The official explanation suggested the girls had misinterpreted what they saw during a violent summer storm, which included heavy rain and hail.

Investigators proposed the figure may have been Luís Antônio de Paula, known locally as Mudinho, a man with mental disabilities who walked crouched through the city.

The three women (then girls) who allegedly saw a nonhuman being give their testimony in the Moment of Contact documentary

The witnesses have rejected that explanation ever since. ‘We had known Mudinho since we were children; he was always crouching low,’ said Valquiria Silva, ‘Without a doubt, it wasn’t him.’

Silva was speaking in a new documentary released by Globo featuring fresh testimonies, including that of neurologist Italo Venturelli, who claims he encountered a nonhuman being in a Varginha hospital in 1996.

‘It was like a child, neither green nor brown, as they said. What I saw was white, with a teardrop-shaped skull and lilac eyes. I looked at it, it looked at me, it looked out the window and back at me,’ Venturelli said.

He explained that fear of ridicule kept him silent for decades, but a serious illness that nearly killed him prompted him to speak publicly. 

‘It was completely different from a human. It was very calm, it seemed like an angel,’ he said.

Further testimony was recounted this week at a press conference in Washington organized by investigative filmmaker James Fox.

Fox directed the film 'Moment of Contact' about the Varginha incident, where he interviewed several star witnesses.

Carlos de Sousa, a Brazilian man who said he witnessed the crash, told a press conference he initially thought the object was a blimp 

The director presented written and video testimony from people who say they encountered a nonhuman biological entity after what they describe as a UFO crash in January 1996.

Witnesses claimed a cigar-shaped object in distress crashed into a field near Varginha.

Carlos de Sousa, a Brazilian man who said he witnessed the crash, told the conference he initially thought the object was a blimp.

He described seeing debris scattered around part of the craft and noticing a strong smell of ammonia and rotten eggs.

According to de Sousa, army vehicles arrived shortly afterward and soldiers ordered him away at gunpoint. 

He said that after leaving the scene, men in suits approached him in an unmarked car and demonstrated knowledge of his personal details before telling him he never saw anything.

Journalist Nyei Nadeia claimed he experienced a similar situation when attempting to investigate the incident.

He said he was blocked by soldiers and described hearing people running through the woods shouting ‘surround it’ and ‘it’s smooth,’ and was warned he could be arrested if he continued asking questions.

The girls mother claimed four men allegedly offered money if the family would say the girls had seen an animal or a sick person

The witnesses drew the creature they had seen crouching beside a wall in Varginha 

The mother of Liliane and Valquiria Silva also spoke via video message at the conference, saying she found a footprint in the grass with three long toes and noticed a lingering smell.

Luiza Helena de Silva described a visit from four men dressed in black who allegedly offered money if the family would say the girls had seen an animal or a sick person.

The conference also featured testimony from individuals claiming military involvement. 

One man, whose identity was concealed, said he helped transport an extraterrestrial from a hospital before handing it over to other soldiers.

A medical examiner who worked in Varginha at the time described performing an autopsy on a young soldier who died unexpectedly from what appeared to be a severe infection.

A pathologist involved said the bacterium was highly aggressive and unusual. In a written statement for the event, he claimed the bacterium does not commonly infect humans, although it is found on Earth.

Venturelli also spoke at the conference, where he expanded on his testimony. He claimed he sensed that the creature in the hospital was thankful for the care and wanted to leave.

The neurosurgeon described having the impression that the being was very intelligent, with a strong sense of understanding and compassion in its gaze.

Venturelli, who claims he saw the alien-like creature, comforts another witness, Carlos de Sousa, at the conference after sharing their testimonies

Retired Colonel Fred Clausen told the conference that in his work as a fighter pilot in 1980, he encountered a UFO, but the military confiscated footage from his gun camera.

He said he believes a US cargo plane secretly flew into Brazil in January 1996 and departed with ‘unusual cargo,’ calling on anyone with knowledge of such a mission to come forward.

The Pentagon has denied any evidence linking unidentified aerial phenomena to extraterrestrial life. 

Brazilian authorities have never officially endorsed the extraterrestrial claims.

Varginha’s City Council said it has never commented on the military investigation, according to El Pais.

However, the city’s current mayor, Leonardo Ciacci, revealed in the Globo documentary that when he managed a local bakery in 1996, the hospital allegedly involved refused its daily bread delivery on the day of the incident. 

As the mystery continues, citizens of Varginha have embraced their alien story.

Once known solely for being a major coffee-producing area, the city is now a tourist attraction, with people flocking to see statues of the 'E.T. of Varginha' as well as a water tower designed as a UFO.

VIDEO: Eyewitness Report UFO Triangle Captured on Night Vision in Northern California

An eyewitness from Sonoma has shared raw night vision footage of a mysterious triangular object observed moving silently across the night sky. The sighting occurred on December 28, 2025, at approximately 8:04 pm while the observer was conducting routine skywatching with a PVS-14 night vision monocular.

What the Witness Was Doing

According to the witness, the recording began casually while observing Polaris, the North Star, and nearby stars to compare brightness and clarity. The footage is slightly shaky at first, consistent with handheld night vision use. However, in the final ten seconds of the clip, an unexpected object enters the frame.

That moment is when the most striking detail appears.

Description of the Object

The witness reports observing a clearly defined triangular object with the following characteristics:

• Solid triangular shape
• One dim light on each corner
• Fast and smooth movement
•  Complete absence of sound
•  High altitude appearance

The object was first seen while the observer was facing northeast and was traveling toward the northwest. No engine noise, propeller sound, or jet-like signature was detected.

Repeat Sighting Adds Weight

This was not an isolated experience. The witness states this was the second time seeing the same triangular object. The first encounter occurred earlier under similar conditions but without a camera attached to the night vision device. During this second event, the camera was connected, allowing the object to be captured on video.

That repeat observation strengthens the credibility of the report, as recurring sightings reduce the likelihood of momentary misidentification.

Raw Footage vs Processed Clips

The video accompanying this report is completely raw, with no filters or noise reduction applied. The witness explains that a shorter, processed clip was uploaded to the Enigma app, while the full video with adjusted filters for clarity was shared on YouTube. The version referenced here remains unaltered to preserve original data and visual integrity.

Night vision devices often display speckling and sensor noise, especially under low light conditions. The witness clarified that the processed versions were only adjusted to reduce these artifacts, not to alter the object itself.

Possible Explanations

The witness does not claim extraterrestrial origin but suggests the object may be advanced or experimental technology. The triangular configuration, silent operation, and steady speed are often associated in reports with classified or unknown aerial platforms.

However, no conventional aircraft, drones, or known astronomical phenomena fully match the observed behavior as described.

This sighting adds to a growing collection of night vision based UFO reports, particularly involving triangular objects. The combination of repeat observation, clear directional movement, and silent flight makes this case notable.

As always, the witness invites viewers to examine the footage themselves and reach their own conclusions.

Top-secret US Air Force jets spotted near Area 51 amid Trump's UFO disclosure claims

• MORE: Declassified CIA document reveals Area 51's TRUE purpose

By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR

Flight tracking data has revealed that multiple top-secret Air Force jets have been sent to the highly classified Area 51 in the Nevada desert Friday morning.

The planes are part of the US military’s Janet fleet, which transports contractor employees, officials from the Department of War, and military personnel to secure facilities containing classified information and technology at the massive complex.

According to multiple flight-tracking websites, one aircraft designated Janet 31 departed Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas at 5.55am PT (8.55am ET) and was last descending into the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), which houses Area 51.

Another flight, this one labeled Janet 43, took off from Harry Reid International 32 minutes later and was last seen heading for a landing area closer to Area 51. 

The infamous base has been tied to extraterrestrial lore for decades, with UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists claiming that secret government projects have been conducted at Area 51 since the 1950s. 

The flights come just days after US Congressman Eric Burlison claimed he has received permission from the White House to visit secret facilities tied to unconfirmed reports of extraterrestrials and non-human craft Congress has been investigating. 

The flights were also spotted after Trump Administration insiders allegedly claimed that full disclosure on UFOs and alien life could come from the president by July 2026.

Despite the growing speculation and daily flights to the top secret facility, the US government and the Pentagon have maintained that physical evidence of UFOs and extraterrestrial has never been found.

Flight-tracking websites captured two flights heading towards Area 51 Friday morning. The first, designated Janet 31, took off from Las Vegas at 8.55am ET

The Janet, designed by Boeing, is a white jet with a single red strip from front to back. The fleet flies contractor employees and military personnel to secure bases housing classified material

Designed by Boeing, Janet jets have a distinctive look, with an all-white body and a single red stripe running from the nose to the tail.

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

According to Flight Aware, this was the flight straight day Janet 31 has flown into the airspace over NTTR, with tracking data revealing the plane appeared to land at the nearby Tonopah Test Range, often referred to as Area 52.

Meanwhile, Janet 43 has been seen flying four times this week, appearing to land at a different runway near NTTF, in Nevada's Lincoln County.

A third Janet was captured leaving the Tonopah Test Range Airport at Area 52 just after 11am ET on a course back to Harry Reid International.

The flights from Las Vegas typically take only 15 to 30 minutes, with military personnel regularly traveling the top secret complex to allegedly test and develop highly classified aircraft and weapons systems.

David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who was stationed at NTTF, previously told Daily Mail that the F-117A Nighthawk, America's first stealth bomber, was developed and tested at the base.

However, government whistleblowers and UFO researchers have both claimed to have seen and photographed unidentified objects flying over Area 51 for decades, many which don't look like normal aircraft or behavior like human-made technology.

Area 51, an area of more than 2.9 million acres, is located at the Nevada Test and Training Range. Area 52, which has its own airport runway, sits roughly 70 miles from Area 51

Anders Otteson, a Youtuber and explorer, captured video of a triangle-shaped aircraft flying over Area 51's restricted airspace

EXCLUSIVE

•  Trump insiders say he has a bombshell UFO speech ready - this is when he'll finally reveal the truth 

Area 51, officially referred to as the Groom Lake test facility or 'the Ranch,' was established in April 1955 when scouts spotted the area while flying over the Mojave Desert.

Declassified CIA documents have revealed that the secret facility used to test the U-2 spy plane, which was crucial for intelligence gathering against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

However, the more than 400-page report, which was officially unsealed in 2013, never mentioned what the base was used for after 1974.

Meanwhile, the secret Janet fleet started operations in 1972.

In 1989, famous UFO whistleblower Bob Lazar claimed in a televised interview that he worked at a secret site near Groom Lake known as 'S-4,' and that his job was to study alien technology and spacecraft recovered by the military.

Although the claims have become part of UFO and Area 51 lore, parts of Lazar's story, including his education and employee history, have never been confirmed with any physical records that back up his story.

In a January interview, Burlison claimed the Trump White House has directed the Pentagon to allow the Missouri congressman to visit Area 51 and other key facilities whistleblower evidence has tied to crashed UFOs, bodies, and other recovered tech.

Burlison did not detail when these visits would start taking place or if he would be brought their using the Janet fleet.

By CHRIS MELORE, US ASSISTANT SCIENCE EDITOR

The Trump Administration has given the green light to reveal the secret UFO facilities to one of the leading voices in Congress calling for full disclosure of alien life.

US Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri revealed that he has requested and been granted access to secure locations, such as Area 51, which have decades-old ties to UFOs and secret government projects. 

Speaking on the ALN Podcast, Burlison added that the request to President Trump and his staff included visiting US military bases and facilities where evidence suggests unidentified craft, materials, bodies, or archives allegedly exist.

Burlison is a member of the congressional oversight committee involved in the ongoing investigation into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), commonly known as UFOs.

Although the US government and the Pentagon have officially denied that there has been any physical evidence of UFOs or alien life ever recovered, Congress has heard from multiple whistleblowers claiming secret programs have covered up the truth.

In fact, Burlison has previously claimed President Trump has been 'fully briefed' on the existence of aliens, UFOs recovered by the military since the 1940s, and alien-human hybrids allegedly living on Earth today. 

Now, as Trump insiders have allegedly leaked that the White House is planning to reveal what America knows about extraterrestrials by July, the UAP committee may soon have the physical proof of non-human intelligence in their hands.

The congressman revealed: 'The White House has told the DoD to make it happen. The extent to which they've been involved is literally just saying to the Department of Defense that "we're backing his request. Do what you can to make it happen."'

Area 51 (Pictured) has been tied to UFO encounters and advanced military aircraft since the 1950s

US Congressman Eric Burlison (Pictured) has claimed that he has received approval from the White House to visit classified US facilities allegedly tied to evidence of alien life

Over the years, multiple US military sites have been linked to non-human craft, including facilities, anonymous sources have said, that were housing crashed spaceships and experimental aircraft constructed using reverse-engineered alien technology.

These include Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) in the Bahamas, and the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), home to Area 5

'There is reportedly an object that is not in this country that is so large it cannot be moved, that they've built an entire building around it,' Burlison said during the January 30 podcast.

The congressman noted that this facility outside the US was classified so he was unable to reveal its exact location, but it was on his list of places he had requested to visit as part of the committee's investigation. 

'It's going to involve a lot to make that happen, but that may be the final destination.'

Burlison said during the interview that he started as a UFO skeptic but was convinced these phenomena were real after listening to whistleblower David Grusch's public interview shortly after entering Congress in early 2023.

The Missouri Republican reached out to Grusch, connected him to the House Oversight Committee, and helped facilitate the string of public hearings that have revealed shocking evidence of alien encounters from respected military officials.

Most of the current evidence has taken the form of images and videos of alleged non-human craft captured by both civilians and military personnel. Many have been leaked to the public after being classified by the Pentagon for years.

The November 2025 documentary 'The Age of Disclosure' alleged that there's been an 80-year cover-up on UFOs and alien technology

Burlison himself revealed never-before-seen video of a US military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO with a Hellfire missile during a September 2025 UAP hearing.

The shocking footage from October 30, 2024 revealed that the unidentified craft not only survived the missile strike, but continued to fly away at extreme speed as the 100-pound, air-to-ground precision weapon simply bounced off the UFO's hull.

The congressman added that access to government records on UAP has been intentionally made difficult to obtain and convoluted to research, with some agencies allegedly failing to report their data properly to Congress.

'We created government, and it's not the right of any government to withhold from you and I the truth about reality,' Burlison declared.

Shocking video of a UFO appearing to escape from a US military drone at impossible speed has been obtained from the Pentagon. 

Jeremy Corbell, investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and co-host of the WEAPONIZED Podcast, revealed the recording on Tuesday, which allegedly shows a mushroom-shaped craft flying over Syria's Suwayda province in 2021.

In what could be compared to a scene in a science-fiction movie, the drone's camera watched as the object appeared to either be hovering or flying at normal speed before accelerating to near-light speed and vanishing from view.

According to Corbell and WEAPONIZED co-host George Knapp, the video was taken by an MQ-9 Reaper drone and obtained from a source in the intelligence community and the Pentagon.

It's the latest evidence of non-human craft, the investigative journalists said have been leaked from the Department of War's 'vault' containing military footage of UAP, which stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena and is the new term for UFOs.

Officially, the Pentagon has stated there has never been any physical proof collected that would confirm the existence of UFOs or extraterrestrial beings.

However, the newly obtained video appeared to capture a clear example of what Corbell and Knapp called 'observable' behavior among non-human craft. In this case, that was instantaneous acceleration.

Once the Air Force drone's camera locks onto the UFO, the recording shows the object seemingly knowing it had been targeted as it begins to maneuver erratically to break the lock before instantly speeding off to the right of the camera.

In their breakdown of the drone footage, Corbell, Knapp, and guest analyst Marik von Rennenkampff watched as the incident was slowed down to just five percent speed to view what the naked eye couldn't catch in real time.

Even in extremely slow replays, the mushroom-shaped craft appears to warp away, stretching across the screen before completely disappeari I ng from the drone's camera.

Rennenkampff, a journalist who specializes in UAP and national security issues, noted this wasn't a mistake by the camera shaking and losing sight of the UFO, as all of the background objects could be seen staying in the same positions they were in before the craft accelerated. 

'The operator rapidly moves the camera to the right. You can see the whole background, everything, the entire scene shifts from right to left,' Rennenkampff explained.

'We don't see that when that object shoots off to the right.' 

The investigators added that military personnel have described other craft appearing to instantly speed away at impossible speeds, calling the maneuver 'inhuman.'

'It breaks our ideas of physics that something can do that,' Corbell added in the February 3 podcast episode.

The WEAPONIZED Podcast hosts emphasized the authenticity of the video, noting that it came straight from military archives that labeled it as a genuine UAP, and added that the camera used advanced technology that accumulates more data than a standard camera or an everyday person's smartphone.

The drone managed to record the moment when the object suddenly disappears, appearing as a faint white streak as it moved to the right

Rennenkampff pointed out that the object flying near the border of Syria and Jordan was also not a drone, revealing that even in an infrared camera, the shape of a man-made drone and the exhaust from its engine would be clearly visible. 

'That most certainly does not look like any kind of conventional aircraft um, that that I can think of,' the journalist said.

The lack of any exhaust or heat trails as the UFO blasted off out of range was yet another 'observable' UFO researchers look for - known as hypersonic velocities without signatures. 

It essentially means an object was seen moving at speeds exceeding Mach 5 (3,800 mph) with no sonic booms, heat trails, visible exhaust, or other typical signs of high-speed travel.

The other observables include UFOs instantaneously becoming invisible, also known as cloaking; UFOs moving from space or the sky to the ocean seamlessly, known as trans-medium travel; and UFOs displaying anti-gravity technology as they hover above the ground.

Rennenkampff pushed back on the thought that the object may an advanced aircraft from an American adversary such as China, saying that if China had such a weapon, they would be able to attack anywhere in the world without warning. 

'If China has this kind of technology, we're all screwed. I'll just be out be honest with you. We're totally screwed. You can just drop a nuke anywhere in the world instantaneously,' he warned.

'And beyond that, what would China be doing flying ultra-advanced technology over the Syrian desert? They have there's absolutely no reason for them to be doing that.

Overview

In July 2024, investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released a clip he describes as “military‑filmed footage of a UAP over Syria in 2021.” The video, originally captured by a thermal‑imaging sensor on a high‑altitude reconnaissance platform, shows a small, bright object moving across the frame before disappearing at what appears to be an abrupt, high‑speed acceleration. Corbell, who has previously publicized the Pentagon’s “Gimbal” and “GoFast” videos, presented the material alongside longtime journalist George Knapp, framing it as a case study of the “instantaneous acceleration” observable that has become a focal point of recent UAP analysis.

Key Observations

The central claim of the footage is that the object exhibits instantaneous acceleration—a rapid change in velocity that cannot be reconciled with conventional aircraft propulsion. In the unedited segment, the object drifts steadily for several seconds, then vanishes from the sensor’s field of view within a fraction of a second. Corbell’s commentary emphasizes that “the sensor data shows a spike in speed that would require a thrust capability far beyond any known engine,” a statement echoed by Knapp, who noted that “the visual evidence aligns with the telemetry, suggesting something truly anomalous.”

Technical Details

The video includes multiple playback speeds (100 %, 50 %, 25 %, 5 % and 1 %) and visual enhancements such as black‑and‑white inversion, zoom, and edge‑threshold filtering to clarify the object’s shape. On‑screen telemetry indicates the recording aircraft was operating at roughly 17,000 feet altitude, with coordinates near 32° N, 36° E—a region in southern Syria bordering Jordan and Iraq. The sensor interface resembles that used on U.S. MQ‑9 Reaper drones, though no official agency identification is provided. Independent analysts who have examined the publicly released frames note that the thermal signature is consistent with a compact heat source, but the rapid loss of lock raises questions about the object’s maneuverability and possible propulsion method.

Context and Credibility

Syria’s airspace in 2021 was heavily monitored by a mosaic of U.S., Russian, Turkish, and regional forces, creating a dense radar and sensor environment. This operational backdrop lends weight to the claim that the recording device was a legitimate military platform rather than a civilian hobbyist setup. However, the lack of an official chain of custody and the absence of corroborating radar data have prompted caution among mainstream aerospace experts. Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, former director of the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, has repeatedly warned that “visual footage alone, even when paired with sensor read‑outs, must be corroborated with multiple data sources before drawing conclusions about advanced technology.”

The release arrives amid heightened congressional interest in UAPs, following the 2023 Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) report that identified “unexplained aerial observations” as a national security concern. The “five observables” outlined in that report—speed, maneuverability, altitude, emission signatures, and acceleration—are directly referenced in Corbell’s presentation, positioning the Syria clip as a potential illustration of the acceleration metric.

Reactions and Next Steps

Since the video’s debut, the UAP research community has been divided. Advocates, including Corbell and Knapp, argue that the footage adds a rare, high‑quality visual record of a phenomenon that defies known physics. Skeptics, such as aerospace analyst Mark Boslough, contend that “without raw sensor logs, flight path data, or independent verification, the clip remains an intriguing but inconclusive piece of the puzzle.”

The Department of Defense has not issued an official statement confirming the source or authenticity of the material. In the meantime, several independent labs have offered to perform forensic analysis of the video file, and a Freedom of Information Act request

Key Takeaways

Nick Pope was a career civil servant with the U.K. Ministry of Defence (MoD) when he got an odd assignment. It was 1991, two years before the premier episode of "The X-Files," but Pope was about to take on a job that would earn him the nickname "the real Fox Mulder." He was to investigate each and every UFO sighting reported to the British government.

More than 25 years later, Pope is one of the world's leading UFO experts and a fixture at UFO conferences like Contact in the Desert and the International UFO Congress, where he lectures on government-sponsored UFO investigations, conspiracy theories and the disclosure of classified government documents. But he wasn't always a UFO-head.

"I really started from a baseline of zero," says Pope, explaining that his four-year assignment to the "UFO desk" at MoD was one of many different posts at the agency, and was not based on any prior knowledge or personal interest in UFOs.

His office received between 200 and 300 sighting reports a year. His job was to call up witnesses, gather as much information as possible about the appearance of the mystery objects, as well as the precise locations and times of the sightings, and then get to work checking those facts against "the usual suspects."

Two other online universities -- the Centre of Excellence in the U.K. and the IMHS Metaphysical Institute -- offer full degree programs in ufology. It's hard to imagine a better conversation-starter than, "I recently got my Ph.D. in Ufology with a specialization in abduction research." Cost for that "advanced" degree is under $2,000.

Another approach is to get out there and do some Fox Mulder-ing of your own as a trained UFO investigator. In the U.S., the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is actively recruiting field investigators to look into the dozen or more sightings reported to the organization every day. You must be 18 or older and pass a certification examination based on the field investigator manual. The British UFO Research Organization (BUFORA) offers a similar course for folks in the U.K.

Pope is a little skeptical of these training and certification programs, because he knows that most participants are true UFO believers who could let their biases get in the way of a clear-eyed investigation. Not that Pope himself wouldn't be psyched to find definitive proof that ETs exist.

"My view is the world would be more interesting with aliens in it than without, but that doesn't mean I'm going to try to prove that," says Pope. "I'm just going to go where the data take me."

Overview

Filmmaker Dan Farrah, known for his work on Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, has shifted his career toward investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). In a recent episode of the Trying Not to Die podcast, hosts Jack Osbourne and Ryan Drexler explored Farrah’s motivations and the findings of his documentary The Age of Disclosure. Farrah described a lifelong fascination with the UFO subject, sparked by 1980s sci‑fi classics, and a professional frustration with the lack of credible, high‑level testimony in existing media. “I spent two decades in Hollywood and still felt there was no serious documentary that could bring government insiders to the table,” he told the hosts.

Key Claims of The Age of Disclosure

The film presents interviews with 34 senior military, intelligence and scientific officials and makes three central assertions. First, Farrah argues that an “80‑year cover‑up” has concealed evidence of non‑human intelligence and recovered craft from the public. Second, he warns of a secret technology race among the United States, China and Russia to reverse‑engineer alleged alien propulsion systems, noting that “the U.S. could be leap‑frogged if an adversary cracks the physics first.” Third, the documentary describes a highly compartmentalized “Legacy Program” run by defense contractors and career bureaucrats, allegedly hidden even from sitting presidents because of its long‑term secrecy.

Sources and Credibility

Farrah emphasizes that many interviewees risked professional reputation to appear on camera. Among the most prominent figures are Senator Marco Rubio, Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who has championed bipartisan UAP disclosure legislation; former Director of National Intelligence General Jim Clapper, who, according to the film, confirmed “UAP activity over Area 51 is real”; and Jay Stratton, former head of the U.S. government’s UAP Task Force. Academic voices include Stanford professor Gary Nolan, who has studied potential biological effects of UAP exposure, and physicist Hal Puthoff, who discusses the hypothesis that UAPs generate a “warp bubble” allowing instantaneous acceleration. The documentary also cites former White House National Security Council aviation security chief Bret Feddersen and lists major defense contractors—Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Aerospace Corporation and Battelle—as allegedly involved in reverse‑engineering efforts.

Legislative and Historical Context

The conversation highlighted concrete policy milestones. In 2021, Senator Rubio succeeded in inserting UAP disclosure language into the Coronavirus Relief Bill, a move that compelled the release of the first major public UAP report. Farrah also referenced historic incidents, such as the 1975 Travis Walton abduction, which an unnamed intelligence official described as a case where “non‑human beings accidentally injured him and then took him to heal before his return.” Area 51 was mentioned not as myth but as a site of documented, ongoing UAP activity, according to the film’s sources.

Implications and Public Call‑to‑Action

Concluding the interview, Farrah framed disclosure as a bipartisan imperative for both technological advancement and humanitarian welfare. He argued that secrecy persists not merely to avoid public panic, but to protect the commercial interests of defense contractors and to preserve strategic advantages from rival nations. “The public needs to pressure elected officials for transparency,” Farrah urged, positioning The Age of Disclosure—available on Prime Video—as a “serious vehicle for bringing these hard truths to light.” While the documentary’s claims remain contested, its reliance on senior officials and newly released congressional language marks a notable shift in the mainstream discussion of UAPs.

New video from a US military drone has captured what UFO investigators are calling a formation of mysterious orbs flying over one of the most contentious regions in the world. 

Jeremy Corbell, investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and co-host of the WEAPONIZED Podcast, revealed footage this week allegedly obtained from intelligence sources that captured three objects flying over the Persian Gulf on August 23, 2012.

The minute-long recording was taken by an MQ-9 Reaper drone being operated by the US Air Force while it was using its infrared sensors just after 6pm local time. 

According to Corbell and podcast co-host George Knapp, the Pentagon described these three lights as 'orbs' flying in formation instead of coming from one triangular-shaped object.

In the video, one of the lights could be seen suddenly dropping back behind the other two, before seemingly being slingshot forward to lead the group.

Corbell added that the orbs appeared to be flying in an almost 'playful' manner and were intelligently coordinated, maintaining equal distances without any visible wings, tails, fins, or engine exhaust of any kind.

He pointed out that the leaked recording clearly showed unidentified flying objects displaying one of the 'five observable' behaviors often linked to UFOs - unusual flight movements that defy basic physics.

In this case, the one orb moving between the other two exhibited clear signs of instant acceleration without any visible thrust, something human aircraft haven't publicly shown an ability to do.

Leaked military video from 2012 revealed three orbs captured flying over the Persian Gulf

In a breakdown of the sighting, Corbell noted that the US Department of War officially designated the orbs as 'UAP,' which stands for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena and is the new term for UFOs.

The video was reportedly placed in a separate archive specifically for evidence of non-human craft or objects that clearly weren't birds, balloons, or other explainable items.

The WEAPONIZED Podcast hosts added that the credibility of the sighting was indisputable, since the footage was taken by the military, using technology that accumulates more data than a standard camera or an everyday person's smartphone.

'This is a military recorded sensor-generated image of what looks like a triangular UFO, like one big triangular craft with dots on each of the three ends. And clearly, you watch this, and that's not what it is,' Knapp said in the January 30 episode.

'Your government has labeled this UAP, and you were never supposed to see this footage,' Corbell added.

The two men noted that the area where this recording was made, between Saudi Arabia and Iran, has become a hotspot for UAP activity in recent years, with personnel on US Navy vessels in the region reporting multiple encounters with bright objects in the sky.

In one incident allegedly recounted to Corbell, an unknown object flooded the bridge of a Navy ship with extremely intense light, so bright that a commanding officer claimed she raised her hand to shield her eyes, but she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face.

In another incident recently revealed during a bombshell hearing in Washington, military drone footage captured the moment a Hellfire missile struck and merely bounced off the hull of a UFO flying over the nearby country of Yemen.

•  Trump insiders say he has a bombshell UFO speech ready - this is when he'll finally reveal the truth 

Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri produced the shocking, never-before-seen footage from October 30, 2024 during the congressional UAP hearing with a group of military whistleblowers last year.

The black-and-white video captured the 100-pound class air-to-ground precision weapon bouncing off the mysterious orb, which continued traveling at extreme speed off the coast of Yemen, roughly 1,000 miles away from the Persian Gulf.

Witness Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former Air Force military police officer for 16 years, called the Hellfire video 'exceptional evidence' of the existence of UFOs.

'I imagine there are members of Congress that would like to see it, who I don't even know if they've asked to see the repository of UAP videos that we've mentioned to them in the past,' Knapp said.

'But it must be frustrating for them to know that this kind of stuff exists and they're not allowed to poke into it or get a glimpse of it at all.'

Officially, the US government and the Pentagon have declared that there has never been any physical evidence recovered that proves UFOs or extraterrestrial beings exist.

The podcast hosts noted that ARRO, the Pentagon department in charge of reviewing all UAP incidents, has released very few videos showing clear UFO sightings, despite whistleblower footage continuing to be leaked to the public.

UFO in Brazil: The Shocking Truth The Government Tried to Hide

In the 1980s, Brazil was the backdrop for a spine-tingling tale of UFOs, a gruesome discovery, and a government conspiracy.

We disclose the unsettling events surrounding a 10-year-old boy named Francisco's shocking find near a mysterious man-made lake in Southern Brazil.

What he stumbled upon was beyond anyone's imagination.

Watch the eerie story of Francisco's discovery and how the Brazilian government desperately tried to keep it hidden due to the chilling nature of the incident.

In 1994, a brave whistleblower within the Brazilian government exposed a trove of shocking documents, including never-before-seen photographs and autopsy reports, revealing the true extent of the horrifying mutilations on the body found near the lake in 1988.

What the public learned was.... Let's get started!

UFOs in Brazil, the official story

Reports on the more than 700 unidentified flying objects investigated by the Air Force for more than 60 years are available at the National Archives for researchers and the curious.

One day in May of 1986, the head of the Brazilian Air Force – Lieutenant General Octávio Júlio Moreira Lima – summoned the press to Brasilia, the capital. He gave them a briefing about the extraordinary events that had occurred the previous Monday, which led him to order the deployment of five fighter jets. He sent them to pursue and intercept 21 UFOs, which had been sighted by hundreds of civilian and military witnesses – and detected by radar – in four states. Unfortunately, none of the aircraft managed to reach the luminous objects, which escaped with unthinkable twists and speeds.

The minister – who appeared with the five military pilots and air traffic controllers who monitored the sightings – promised a detailed report about the frenetic hours within a month. It took him much longer, but finally, many years later, it was published. And anyone can read it, as it’s been made available by the National Archives of Brazil, either in-person at the headquarters in Brasilia, or online.

NASA’s recent decision to adopt a methodology to study what it calls “unidentified anomalous phenomena” has brought the UFO collection of the National Archives of Brazil to the fore. Prepared more than six decades ago by the Air Force, it contains some 20,000 pages of reports – many with confidential seals – and drawings, as well as audios, videos, photographs, correspondence and press clippings related to the 743 incidents recorded by Brazil’s military between 1952 and 2016.

The US space agency has also announced the appointment of a director to lead the investigations… something that has a peculiar precedent in Brazil. From 1969 until 1972, a soldier – Commander Giberto Zani de Mello – oversaw a unit that was created within the Armed Forces to systematically monitor these unexplained phenomena that, for so many people, evoke the possibility of extraterrestrial life. It was called the Unidentified Aerial Object Investigation System (SIOANI) and its headquarters were based in a central neighborhood of São Paulo.

In the midst of the last Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985), the fact that a team of uniformed men were being asked by the high command to gather information about UFO-related events generated both alarm and curiosity. Officials from SIOANI traveled around the country to interview witnesses, writing up reports that included sketches – some of which portrayed a wide variety of flying saucer models – and producing a bulletin.

The Brazilian authorities emphasize – like their US colleagues – that UFOs aren’t synonymous with spacecraft or aliens. Brasilia notes that the 743 archived records “don’t mean that 743 flying saucers have been spotted, but rather, [they refer to] any object in the sky whose natural origin could not be immediately discovered. In other words, a UFO can be a drone, a star, a satellite, a weather balloon, or even a natural phenomenon.”

Brazil is a country with deep-rooted superstitions, where the third-largest religion is spiritualism. Consulting psychics isn’t atypical; some institutions even sign contracts with spirits to avoid rain during special events. It’s difficult to forget the scene with dozens of Bolsonaro supporters – camped in front of the Army barracks in Porto Alegre after their leader lost his re-election bid – who were recorded demanding help from extraterrestrials to carry out a coup.

The most famous UFO-related incident was what occurred on that Monday in 1986, when 21 UFOs invaded Brazilian airspace. It entered the history of ufology as “The Official Night of the UFOs.” The military’s subsequent report – in a dry tone – concluded the following about the hours that shocked the country: “The phenomena are solid and reflect, in some ways, intelligence, due to the ability [of the objects] to maintain distance from observers, as well as to fly in formation, [although they are] not necessarily manned.”

The first to detect those luminous dots was an air traffic controller from São José dos Campos, the Brazilian city that hosts the National Institute for Space Research and other strategic facilities. Pilots who witnessed the events testified that the flying objects could move in a zigzag pattern, stop in the sky, make sharp right turns, change color and reach supersonic speeds.

The sound recordings of the frenetic conversations between the controllers and the pilots can be heard on the National Archives’ website, which, from time to time, posts excerpts on social media. A ufologist named Marco Antonio Petit explained to BBC Brazil how the Brazilian military approached the phenomenon: “For years, I had the opportunity to interview high-ranking soldiers who told me: ‘UFOs aren’t shot down in Brazil because [we don’t know] if they pose a threat. How will they react if they’re attacked?”

As the UFOs were spotted during the Cold War, the uniformed men didn’t rule out that some of the strange objects sighted over Brazil – a country with a tradition of neutrality – were spy satellites sent by either the Soviet Union or the United States.

The UFO collection is one of the most popular ones in the National Archives. Other major collections include the bulk of documentation on the last military dictatorship

(1964-1985) – which is the most-consulted – as well as records on slavery, the arrival of white immigrants who replaced slave labor, Carnival, censorship, or the construction of Brasilia.

Brazil is a country where transparency is the norm: all official documents are public, except those declared secret. This is a policy that is often more advanced than developed nations in the Global North. And, thanks to that spirit of transparency (along with a formal request filed by the Brazilian Federation of Ufology), the archive on UFOs – gathered since the 1950s and guarded by the Air Force in Brasilia – began to be transferred to the National Archives of Brazil in 2008, during the second term of Luiz Inácio da Silva, who is currently serving his third term. They were subsequently made open to the public.

A little over a year ago, the Senate of Brazil invited local and foreign ufologists to a solemn session – as Mexico recently did – in an event that even included a supposed “non-human being.” Those present in Brasilia welcomed the fact that many countries – such as Brazil, or even the Vatican – are partially opening their archives on this subject. The senator who organized the unique session – Eduardo Girão – was pleased that Brazil was the first country to officially admit that UFOs exist and have extraterrestrial origins.

EXCLUSIVE - Trump insiders told me the president has a bombshell speech revealing DECADES of UFO secrets ready to go... here's when he will finally tell the world the truth

By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR

President Donald Trump reportedly has a historic speech ready that could finally provide the world with UFO disclosure, according to a filmmaker.

Mark Christopher Lee, a UK-based writer, director, producer and ufologist, said 'an advisor to the Trump administration' told him that the president 'has been given authority by the other major world leaders to make this announcement.'

The speech is said to reveal decades of evidence, recovered materials and credible military eyewitness accounts showing that some UFO incidents cannot be explained by any known human technology.

Lee told the Daily Mail that Trump's remarks will highlight several high-profile cases, including the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac encounter, the 2015 USS Roosevelt GoFast and Gimbal incidents and the 1947 Roswell event.

'He will confirm that forensic analysis of recovered off-world vehicles and non-human biologics has established their extraterrestrial origin, marking the first official acknowledgment of this reality by any world leader,' he added.

The speech was initially planned for the United Nations General Assembly in September, but Lee said it has been moved up to coincide with Roswell's 79th anniversary on July 8. He told the Daily Mail that 'new intelligence developments have made it a matter of urgency.'

'I do feel that President Trump likes to act spontaneously and may not want to wait until July 8,' Lee added.

'He might also suspect that Russia or China could jump the gun, but I'm fairly confident it will happen sooner rather than later.'

A filmmaker has claimed that President Donald Trump (pictured) has already written a historic speech for UFO disclosure, and will deliver it on July 8

Trump has expressed support for increased transparency and 'disclosure' regarding UFOs, though his personal interest in the subject has historically been described as skeptical or limited.

'Am I a believer? No, I probably can't say I am. But I have met with people who are serious people who say there are some really strange things that they see flying around out there,' Trump said during an appearance on YouTuber-turned-WWE star Logan Paul's podcast last year.

Lee told the Daily Mail that his insider is 'a successful business person acting as an advisor to the Trump administration officials, who has been responsible for reviewing archive UFO evidence in preparation for' the disclosure event.

'The president will explain that previous administrations maintained secrecy due to national security concerns, technological uncertainty and fear of public reaction,' Lee said he was told.

'He will emphasize that he is the first president to authorize full disclosure because the American people deserve transparency, current geopolitical stability allows it, and recent bipartisan congressional efforts have created the necessary framework for responsible revelation.'

The high-profile incidents reportedly set to be discussed have captivated the world for decades and have been brought to Congress by whistleblowers who gave testimonies under oath.

Those included statements from fighter pilot David Fravor. Fravor was flying a training exercise off the coast of San Diego when he was rerouted to investigate a strange object spotted on radar by warships protecting his aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz.

This has since become known as the November 2004 'Tic Tac' encounter, which Fravor described as a roughly 40-foot white object with no windows or wings, shaped like a Tic Tac candy, flitting about above the sea that was roiling below it, seemingly disturbed by something large submerged beneath the surface.

Trump is set to pull the curtain on high-profile UFO reports, such as the the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac encounter (pictured)

Fravor told Congress in 2023 that as he circled the object, it turned to mirror his movements. He said it then shot off past him at thousands of miles per hour, somehow stopping a second later 60 miles away, at a secret pre-designated rendezvous point that only a handful of Navy staff were given.

Separately, in 2015, pilots and radar operators aboard the USS Roosevelt recorded two high-speed UFO encounters, nicknamed GoFast and Gimbal.

The objects were captured on advanced infrared cameras and displayed capabilities beyond known human technology, including sudden accelerations and rotation mid-flight.

The incidents were documented in Pentagon-released videos, fueling renewed interest in unidentified aerial phenomena.

Former Navy pilot Ryan Graves testified alongside Fravor to Congress that the GoFast and Gimbal encounters represent serious flight safety and national security risks.

Based on his experience and reports from over 30 crew members, Graves said these objects were routinely seen, often stationary in high winds or moving at hypersonic speeds, with many incidents remaining unexplained.

In 2015, pilots and radar operators aboard the USS Roosevelt recorded two high-speed UFO encounters, nicknamed GoFast (pictured) and Gimbal 

However, Dr Jon Kosloski, director of the Defense Department's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), testified under oath in a 2024 hearing held by the Armed Services Committee, that the infrared UFO video showed nothing more than 'a trick of the eye.'

He attributed the UFO's apparent high-speed skimming over the ocean to an optical illusion, called 'parallax,' but the office did not otherwise identify the object.

'President Trump will announce immediate steps toward declassification of related files, expanded scientific study through a new interagency task force, and international cooperation with allied nations,' Lee told the Daily Mail.

Lee said Trump will call the new studies 'an opportunity to unite humanity in understanding our place in the universe.'

Lee claims he was told the disclosure speech would fall on the anniversary of the mysterious crash near Roswell, New Mexico. The object was initially reported as a 'flying disc.'

The military quickly retracted its statement, claiming the debris was from a weather balloon, but eyewitness accounts of unusual materials and structures persisted. 

Major Jesse Marcel (pictured), who recovered debris from the 1974 Roswell crash, described the scene as 'a large area heavily scattered with metallic debris from a single impact point that scarred the earth.' He said the debris could not melt or heat up and could not be punctured

The local paper's front page story reported that the Roswell Army field recovered a flying saucer on a New Mexico Ranch after metallic-looking, light but strong material was scattered across the land

The Roswell incident became the world's most famous UFO case, forming the foundation of modern extraterrestrial lore.

Retired US Air Force Major David Grusch, a current advisor to Congress's UAP Task Force, claimed last month that Trump has received reports on crashed spacecraft, non-human remains retrieved by the US, the origins of these beings and their intentions.

Grusch also said the president could soon become the 'most consequential leader in world history' by publicly disclosing what America has kept hidden about extraterrestrials.

Until now, previous White Houses, the US military and even NASA have all denied that humans have made contact with alien life or ever recovered extraterrestrial technology from crashed UFOs.

No physical evidence has ever been presented publicly to back up the stories shared over decades by civilians, scientists and military personnel claiming to have seen or interacted with beings from another world.

However, Grusch said the US military has not only recovered UFOs and alien bodies, but he claimed he personally viewed intelligence reports, data and even pictures of non-human bodies with his own eyes.

The whistleblower also allegedly told members of Congress that Trump was briefed during his first term about the existence of multiple alien races, and that one species has been crossbreeding with humans.

The White House declined to comment on the matter.

Overview

Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp have released, for the first time, a classified video captured by a U.S. Air Force‑directed MQ‑1 Predator drone on 23 August 2012 over the Persian Gulf. The thermographic (FLIR) footage shows three luminous “orbs” moving in a tight triangular formation at 18:21 UTC, performing abrupt directional changes without any discernible propulsion plume or heat signature. The material, now catalogued by the United States intelligence community as “UAP orbs,” adds to a growing body of evidence that the Department of Defense is formally acknowledging the presence of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena in operational airspace.

Key Details

The video, recorded at coordinates 28°27′17.0″ N, 50°33′37.0″ E, was obtained from a high‑confidence source within the Predator’s data archive. Analysts note that the objects were actively tracked by the drone’s sensors, indicating that the platform’s operators recognized them as distinct contacts rather than sensor artifacts. Throughout the 30‑second clip, the orbs execute rapid, angular turns and maintain formation despite the absence of conventional aerodynamic surfaces or exhaust plumes. The FLIR imagery registers no thermal contrast against the surrounding sea and sky, a factor that has puzzled both military and civilian experts tasked with evaluating the phenomenon.

Context within UAP Investigations

Since the 2020 release of the UAP Task Force report, the intelligence community has steadily de‑classified sightings that meet stringent criteria for “unidentified.” The Pentagon’s All‑Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) now maintains a database that includes over a thousand such events, many of which involve radar‑visible objects that evade visual identification. The 2012 Persian Gulf incident aligns with prior reports of triangular formations—notably the 2004 “Nimitz” encounter—yet distinguishes itself by the exclusive reliance on infrared imaging, eliminating visual‑light bias. Researchers such as Dr. Jacques Vallée have long argued that formation flight suggests a level of coordinated control, a point reinforced by the Predator’s on‑board tracking logs indicating intelligent maneuvering rather than random drift.

Expert Commentary

Corbell, whose documentary work has previously highlighted Navy pilot testimonies, emphasized the strategic implications:

“No matter where UFOs are from – it is now openly admitted by our Department of War that they are appearing with an increased frequency worldwide. It’s time to acknowledge the UFO problem – as this case reveals that incursions by UAP pose a significant challenge for our collective defense apparatus.”

George Knapp, a veteran investigative reporter on aerospace anomalies, added that the footage “provides a rare, high‑resolution glimpse of an event that was previously known only through anecdotal accounts.” Both journalists stress that the release aims to foster transparency and reduce the stigma that has historically hampered scientific inquiry into UAPs.

Implications for Defense and Policy

The emergence of a high‑confidence, sensor‑verified record of coordinated, propulsion‑less flight raises several questions for national security planners. If the objects possess capabilities beyond current aerospace technology, they could represent a potentially adversarial system or an unknown natural phenomenon with strategic relevance. Congressional oversight committees, which have recently pushed for more rigorous reporting requirements, may now have concrete data to justify increased funding for AARO’s analytical tools. Moreover, the incident underscores the need for inter‑agency data sharing, as the original flight logs were reportedly generated under Air Force command but are now being examined by intelligence analysts, civilian scientists, and the broader public.

The Persian Gulf triangle formation footage marks a significant milestone in the ongoing effort to document and understand UAP activity. By making the video publicly accessible, Corbell and Knapp hope to encourage a rational, evidence‑based dialogue that bridges the gap between classified military observations and open‑source scientific research. As the Department of Defense continues to refine its approach to unidentified aerial phenomena, incidents like this will likely shape both policy and public perception for years to come.

It must be a thrilling time, for what remains of the ‘60s counterculture: first tie-dye went mainstream, then psychedelics, and now the belief in UFOs. The videos lately leaked by the government purporting to show mysterious and possibly alien-linked aerial phenomena has incited maybe the most serious reckoning with the possibility of alien life in America’s history, with more or less respectful news articles and TV segments and, now, a Congressional hearing. But is what we’re seeing now really substantially different from what we’ve seen in the past? What exactly is going on in all those videos? For this week’sGiz Asks, we reached out to a number of experts—as much as anyone can be an expert in things that are unidentified—to find out.

Avi Loeb

Professor of Astronomy at Harvard University and the author of Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth

This new report is different from past discussions on Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in that it involved documented evidence collected by military personnel based on detection by multiple instruments (radar, infrared cameras, optical cameras), indicating the possible existence of objects which behave in ways that cannot be explained by the technologies we possess. Past top-level government officials who had access to this data (including former President Obama, former Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe, former CIA Director James Woolsey and former Senator Harry Reid) made statements recently that they believe these are real objects but they do not understand their nature. It is possible, and likely, that most of the past reports on UFOs from the general public can be explained by human-made or natural phenomena, or as illusions, but we need to pay special attention to the small number of reports where the evidence is strong and undisputable. The key is to collect more evidence with our best recording devices.

It would be prudent to progress forward with our finest instruments, rather than examine past reports. Instead of declassifying documents that reflect decades-old technologies used by witnesses with no scientific expertise, it would be far better to deploy state-of-the-art recording devices, such as cameras installed on wide-field telescopes or audio sensors, at the sites where the reports came from, and search for unusual signals.

They show a variety of different things. Consistent only in their variety, the videos that have leaked out of the US Navy herald little more than disappointment for the UFO enthusiasts who hope that alien technology is just around the corner.

The most dramatic video, code name “Gimbal,” seems to show an actual flying saucer skimming over the clouds. It comes to a stop and rotates 90 degrees in an aerodynamically impossible manner. Surely this is the evidence we’ve been looking for? Sadly, no—close examination reveals the shape on the screen is rotating when other faint shapes rotate, showing it’s an optical artifact, not actually saucer-shaped, just the shape of a thermal glare, probably from the engines of a distant, human, jet. The rotation? An artifact of the gimbal-mounted camera—hence the code name.

The other videos likewise disappoint. “Go Fast,” when put under the magnifying glass of a little high-school math, turns out to not be going fast at all. More like balloon speed. The Tic-Tac, supposedly pulling impossible g-forces, is instead plodding along with the movement again reflecting only motion of the camera. Then there’s the “Green Pyramid”—lauded as the greatest UFO footage of all time for a few days, until it was pointed out that it looked exactly like an out-of-focus 737 which also happened to be flying overhead at that same time.

There are unknowns in the sky. Some of them represent real issues—foreign threats, or challenges of identification, or recalcitrant radar. But, exciting though the prospect might be, very little points to possible advanced technology, and none of them point to aliens.

Jack Singal

Associate Professor, Physics, University of Richmond

I think in terms of three levels of consideration for videos like those that recently came out related to the Pentagon report on unexplained aerial phenomena.

At the first level, one needs to assume that any video, on any topic, that is shared over social media, or on a show that monetizes clicks or ratings, has been deceptively edited in some way. In the case of purported UFO sightings, a video you are seeing may have been sped up, slowed down, or spliced together to make objects appear to move in strange ways, or cropped to remove objects that could provide a sense of [scale], for example.

At the second level, if we are still intrigued after considering that we may be misled by deceptive video edits, we should consider mundane explanations for what we are seeing. These videos are usually amateur and often low resolution, and lack good context such as readily identifiable objects for scale such as buildings or trees, and other moving objects to gauge speeds. Are we sure we aren’t just seeing objects like kites, frisbees, or spotlights? What about drones?

Finally, even if we think that a mundane explanation is not enough, we have to remind ourselves that the atmosphere is a strange and amazing place. For example, it makes tornadoes so powerful that they can pick up and throw a car, and hailstones as big as softballs. We’ve seen clouds and colors so crazy that nobody could have painted them. Given that, should we really rule out that atmospheric processes could make some apparently strangely shaped clouds or reflections that move strangely for a few minutes? Just because something in the sky is strange doesn’t mean it is from another planet.

These recent videos are coming at a time when our scientific understanding of the possibilities for life elsewhere in the Universe has exploded due to the discovery of many habitable exoplanets around other stars. However it is a big leap from considering that life may be out there trillions of miles away to concluding that they are visiting us secretly, based on grainy amateur videos.

Brian Dunning

Executive Director of Skeptoid Media

The past few years of credulous, uncritical reporting of UFO videos by the popular media have been frustrating for many science writers. While the media only wants to interview people who have been career believers in alien visitation and who will promote the “mystery” perspective, the science experts have been largely left out, leaving the claim that these videos show something extraordinary to go largely unchallenged.

In fact, there’s a very good reason why these UFO videos have only been reported in the mass media, and hardly mentioned at all in the science, aviation, or military press: there’s simply nothing very interesting in the videos. All of them show mundane targets consistent with conventional air traffic (in some cases proven to be specific commercial flights) or objects such as mylar party balloons or parachute flares, albeit distorted by well-known and well-understood camera and lens effects.

We’re frustrated because nobody wants to report the truthful, sober version of this, only the sensational view that there’s some alien mystery afoot. It’s bad journalism, and it’s harmful to the public intellect.

A big part of the problem communicating this to the public is the popular belief that Navy pilots can’t be mistaken, that they’re somehow immune to the types of perceptual errors that are endemic to our human neurology. What we’re seeing are simple optical illusions, aided in most of the videos by artifacts caused by the lenses. We’ve all seen optical illusions and we all know how easily our brains can be fooled by them. Yet, when the same thing happens to a pilot, many people believe—with no clear reason—that these human limitations have somehow been “trained” out of them. We know for a fact this is not the case. In at least one of the videos, called GOFAST, the numbers on the ATFLIR screen prove, with no room for doubt, that what’s being displayed is very different from what the pilot interpreted, and what the mass media has amplified.

Bottom line is that if the Earth is indeed being invaded by aliens, we don’t yet have the evidence of it. It’s certainly not in these decade-and-a-half old videos. Remember, even the Navy itself said “the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities.”

Adam Frank

Professor of Physics and Astronomy at University of Rochester

We don’t have the data we’d need to begin a real scientific analysis. The videos are certainly interesting and deserve more study. But there is nothing about them that would lead a scientist to jump to the extraordinary conclusion that the videos tell us something about life elsewhere in the Universe. My colleagues and I are deeply involved in the search for life (simple and otherwise) on planets orbiting distant stars (i.e. exoplanets). The whole field is undergoing a revolution now because we have discovered so many of these exoplanets and we’re working on developing the capacities to detect biospheres and “technospheres” on them. But if and when we claim that we’ve found evidence for such life using telescopic data, you can bet we’d get hammered by the rest of the scientific community. They would want to check for every possible source of error and try to exhaust every possible alternative, simpler explanation before they accepted that we’d answered humanity’s oldest question (i.e. are we alone). This is how science works and it’s the reason why we have working cell phones in our pockets rather than inert bricks. So, as of now, those videos show something that is unidentified. That’s it. If we want to know more we’ll have to do some science!

Christopher Conselice

Professor, Physics and Astronomy, University of Nottingham

These new videos and sightings show that there are observations that have no obvious explanation. However, that does not mean that these events are from aliens or visitors from other planets. They almost certainly have a natural explanation and are likely due to optical effects, atmospheric effects, or perhaps some physical effects we do not fully understand quite yet. The latter however is simply due to the fact that these observed phenomena are seen through complex systems and perhaps unique circumstances leading to interesting features that are rarely seen.

Diana Walsh Pasulka

To scholars of religious studies, reports of unidentified luminous objects that fly around in the sky is nothing new. Historical records reveal copious testimonial accounts of flying objects, some of which appear to carry humanlike beings, and others which are described as flying ships or houses. However, there are significant differences between historical accounts, some over one thousand years old, and current testimonies from pilots and people whose job is to fly planes and drones and observe the sky. Pilots and naval crew have radar, video, and proximity to unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs). They have captured mysterious objects with recording devices that were not invented when people from previous eras wrote about their testimonies. Basically, the difference is that our senses, that of seeing and hearing, have been extended by our technology, and that gives us more and better data. Yet, what does this really show or reveal about these events?

Initial reports from a recent Pentagon sponsored study of UAPs is that military authorities do not know what they are; they are technically “mysterious.” This conclusion, which is an apparently honest one, is much different from most of the conclusions made by people from foregone eras about aerial phenomenon. In the past, these events were subsumed, for the most part, within a religious narrative. In the Catholic tradition, they were sometimes called souls from purgatory, or angels. The point is not what they were called, but that people felt the need to name them. Naming them made them less mysterious and provided people with a handy way to shut down further examination of these events.

What is new—or at least modern, as the government has concluded that UAPs are mysterious at least twice before (see Project Bluebook and the Robertson Panel)—is that the report refrains from making conclusions about these events—that is, to call them extraterrestrial. To conclude that we do not know what these objects are is a step in the direction of making some progress toward a fledgling, yet honest study of what they could be. That’s the good news. Other news is that the U.S. government has admitted to engaging in controlling the education of the public about this phenomenon since at least the 1950s. This should at least inspire some level of credulity with respect to any media, fiction or nonfiction, regarding these events.

Government Whistleblower Says There Was a Secret Pentagon Program to “Trap” UFOs

Big Talk

A UFO whistleblower and ex-Pentagon official who claims that the government is hiding its knowledge of extraterrestrials is doubling down on his claims in a new memoir.

As the Daily Beast and other outlets report, whistleblower Luis Elizondo’s new book, “Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs,” contains in more detail the same kinds of contentions he has long put forth with the help of the New York Times and Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Elizondo said he’s finally been cleared by the Pentagon to tell the full truth about his claims, which include his assertion that he’d seen glowing green orbs in his house after he began leading a secretive Army office looking into what the government calls “unidentified anomalous phenomena” or UAPs.

As he said in his interview with the British tabloid, the ex-official was also privy to knowledge of “traps” the government set up to catch and capture UAPs.

“We had a plan to set up a real big nuclear footprint,” Elizondo said, “something we knew would be irresistible for these UAP.”

Once these unwitting ETs fell for the ruse, “the trap would be sprung,” he continued.

Trapped In

As with claims made by other government whistleblowers and true believers, Elizondo’s insistence on a widespread US government conspiracy to hide the truth about aliens from the American people seems to fall apart under scrutiny.

In a thread on r/UFOs where his Daily Mail interview was posted, for instance, an incredulous Redditor pointed out just how ridiculous the crux of that claim really is.

“Setting up honey pots for UFOs sounds like a terrible idea,” the user commented. “Who knows what type of thing you could end up attracting?”

Indeed, if any members of an extraterrestrial race were sophisticated enough not only to travel untold lightyears to Earth but also to hide themselves from us, it seems almost humorous that our human attempts at deception would work.

As ever, we very much do want to believe — but in the case of Elizondo’s new book, the only thing that seems provable is that he’s on a book tour, with all the pressure to drive sales that process typically entails.

Did the Red Baron shoot down an UFO during WWI?

Richthofen was a very skilled pilot, and on January 1917, he first painted his Albatros D.III in a bright red color; in this airplane, he earned his name and reputation.

By 1918, he was regarded as a national hero in Germany and respected and admired even by his enemies.

He is considered the ace-of-aces of the war, officially credited with 80 air combat victories. But many of his victims came thru joint efforts but were credited to the Red Baron to enhance his stature as a national hero and create a legend to scare the enemies.

Did the Red Baron shoot down a flying saucer?

Unidentified flying objects have been observed among almost the most critical military conflicts in history, from the earliest years by Alexandre the Greatest to Gulf War.

Their presence was also noticed and reported during the first World War. It also originated the book “UFOs of the First World War: Phantom Airships, Balloons, Aircraft, and Other Mysterious Aerial Phenomena” by Nigel Watson.

In this book, Mr. Watson published an interview with German Air Force ace Peter Waitzrick, who not only witnessed but confirmed that the Red Baron shot down a spacecraft himself.

“It’s been over 80 years, and you ordered me not to say anything. But I’m already at the end of life, and I want my children and grandchildren to know the truth”, said Peter Waitzrick.

On the morning of March 13, 1917, while patrolling over western France, coming from an airfield in Belgium, they spotted an object of about 40m (120 feet) in diameter, similar to two overlapping silver plates and orange lights.

Even not recognizing the aircraft, the Red Baron decided to open fire on the slowly hovering UFO; at that time, the United States had just entered the war, so it might have been an unknown American weapon.

“We were terrified. We’d never seen anything like it,” recalled Peter Waitzrick. “The Baron immediately opened fire, and the thing went down like a rock, shearing off tree limbs as it crashed into the woods.”

He witnesses two minor occupants survive the crash and leave the wreckage, running into the woods.

What the facts say about the Red Baron shooting down the flying saucer

Baron Manfred von Richthofen kept the description of 80 enemy planes he brought down on record.

But he never mentioned anything about the unknown American craft like he believed when he opened fire that spring morning.

Peter Waitzrick told me he was ordered not to say anything. Maybe the Red Baron received the same order.

Regarding the date, Peter Waitzrick describes that von Richthofen was flying with a” Fokker triplane,” the Fokker Dr.I, the earliest Fokker triplane to be seen in combat, only on August 22, 1917.

Peter Waitzrick was 105 years old at the time of his interview. Maybe he was confused by the dates.

If they had shot down a flying saucer, it is undoubtedly that the German troops would have searched the wreckage and its occupants in North France. But there were no records found.

“There’s no doubt that what the Baron shot down that day was no U.S. reconnaissance plane. It was some craft from another planet. Those who ran off into the woods weren’t Americans.”

Richthofen received a fatal wound just after 11:00 am on April 21, 1918, while flying over Morlancourt Ridge, near the Somme River, France.

Other weird happenings surround the Richthofen family.

Opinion by Michael Levanduski

 

Humans’ learning about nuclear concepts that led to nuclear energy and nuclear bombs was one of the most important turning points in human history.

This represented the first time that humanity started ‘playing’ with technology that could literally destroy our whole species (not to mention the whole world). In addition, nuclear technology meant the potential for almost limitless clean energy, even if we haven’t yet taken full advantage.

So, if nuclear technology is such an important point in our evolution, it would make sense if aliens (if they exist) would take an interest.

Since the earliest days of nuclear testing and development, there have been reports of strange lights and unidentified objects up in the atmosphere around nuclear facilities. A group of researchers decided to gather up all the data on this subject (there is a lot) and put it together to try to see if it could be determined what was really causing the unidentified aerial phenomena.

The study was published in Scientific Reports, and while they definitely cannot confirm that it was aliens, they also can’t completely rule it out.

The team looked at transient ‘star-like’ objects that were reported or even seen in images, often taken from cameras at these facilities. The Vanishing & Appearing Sources During a Century of Observations project has been around since 2017, working on compiling all of these reports.

In the paper, the team writes:

“These short-lived transients (lasting less than one exposure time of 50 min) have point spread functions and are absent in images taken shortly before the transients appear and in all images from subsequent surveys. In some cases multiple transients appear in a single image, exhibiting characteristics not easily accounted for by prosaic explanations (e.g., gravitational lensing, gamma ray bursts, fragmenting asteroids, plate defects).”

Given the fact that this all happened over half a century ago makes it hard to identify exactly where the lights or sightings came from. The researchers wrote in the paper:

“From 1951 until the launch of Sputnik in 1957, at least 124 above-ground nuclear tests were conducted by the United States (US), Soviet Union, and Great Britain. In some circumstances, nuclear radiation is known to cause a visible glow (i.e., Cherenkov radiation). […] Consistent with this concept, glowing ‘fireballs’ in the sky were reported in multiple instances to occur shortly after nuclear tests in locations where significant nuclear fallout was expected.”

There is no confirmed explanation for these events. Not surprisingly, many will say that they could be either aliens or drones sent by aliens to investigate the fact that humans have entered a nuclear age.

Another option is that nuclear tests could cause an atmospheric phenomenon that is not yet fully understood. Since nuclear tests are pretty rare (thankfully), it is not something that is easy to study.

While they may not know what caused these types of signings, it does seem clear that something happened around the nuclear testing sites during that time period, given all the evidence.
