What About All Those USO Sightings since August in the Media? The REAL Story!
What About All Those USO Sightings since August in the Media? The REAL Story!
By Bob Spearing, MUFON Director of International Development
On November 2, 2025, Fox News reported that since August, a UAP reporting agency called Enigma Labs has documented 9,000 reports of objects within 10 miles of the American coastlines. The article mentioned that the states with the highest amount of these craft or anomalies near the coast were California & Florida, with 389 and 306, respectively.
Google AI generated that, “A UFO reporting app called Enigma has logged over 9,000 USO sightings since August 2025 within 10 miles of U.S. shoreline or other major bodies of water.” and “This data has raised concerns for national security analysts.” Google AI used a publication called Matine Technology News as its source.
In the Fox article, Retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet stated that, "The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering US waterspace and the [Department of War] is not raising a giant red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena.”
Kent Heckenlively, a UFO book author, was also interviewed by Fox and said, "What is really interesting to me is the reports that we receive about [United States] underwater vessels detecting craft moving at exceptionally high speeds underwater."
This image is from a longer video in MUFON Case # 137607 out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It has made the news rounds frequently this month. But what is actually being seen here? Is it a genuine series of 2 USOs, or is it scuba divers with underwater lighting? The jury is still out, but the media pounces on this as legitimate proof of USOs. It is confirmatory of NOTHING! The source of the lights remains unidentified, but claiming this photo shows “legitimate alien or other paranormal activity under our waterways” would be inconsistent with MUFON’s high investigative values.
The Mutual UFO Network would like to ask some questions here because we do not necessarily believe the entire story is being laid out by Enigma, Gallaudet and Heckenlively.
First, Google AI suggests FALSELY that anything within 10 miles of a coast is a USO. Enigma implies that. That acronym USO stands for Unidentified Submersible Object. A UFO/UAP cannot be considered a USO simply because it is within 10 miles of a coastline. This is deceiving. If this is Enigma’s methodology for what constitutes a USO, it is flawed.
Second, the Fox article, at one point, states that only 150 objects in Enigma’s database were seen going into or out of water. This is a big drop for 9,000 reports down to 150 that actually are seen in, below or above a body of water. What gives? What is truth, then? Are classifications bendable when necessary for a news release?
The newest classification for an object capable of being in air, land or underwater is called a trans-
medium vehicle as they can operate in 3 different environments. Our media today is trying to portray this as a new phenomenon. Actually, it has been going on for thousands of years.
Third, the idea that suddenly there are these incredibly fast-moving underwater objects is also a new phenomenon, is inaccurate. MUFON’s 145,000-case database has reports of fast-moving submersibles circling our warships as far back as WWII. MUFON’s own Chief Photo Analyst, Marc D’Antonio, hitched a ride back in 2017 on an unnamed USN submarine, and, being in the right place at the right time, caught an interaction between the sub’s commander and his radar operator using the term “fast mover” concerning a very fast-moving object in proximity to the sub. Right now, the Chinese are developing this underwater technology, where soon their subs may transit the Pacific from Shanghai to San Francisco in hours instead of days. Aliens? Or Chinese tech, maybe?
BUT HERE IS THE MAJOR POINT!
There is a lot of disinformation on the UFO Street right now on several items, such as Hellfire
Missiles taking out UFOs off the coast of Yemen, which was most likely a CCP spy balloon. The 3i/Atlas affair is almost to the point of hysteria for no good reason. It’s almost seeming like an experiment to gauge population gullibility. Just look at the 3i/Atlas cesspool on Facebook.
There is a difference between Enigma and MUFON. A big difference! MUFON investigates! Enigma
doesn’t. Just because there are 9,000 Enigma reports of “purported USO objects” within 10 miles of coastline and 150 directly in or over bodies of water, doesn’t necessarily mean these statistics are in any way reliable. How many of these 9,000 objects have been investigated by Enigma, Fox, or anyone else, for that matter? BINGO! Where are the investigation reports forthcoming from Enigma and Fox? Don’t hold your breath.
MUFON, The MUTUAL UFO Network, has 4,000 members currently, and of that number, 700 are trained, certified Field Investigators, most with previous forensic backgrounds. We investigate all 145,000 cases in our database. Enigma does not investigate anything as far as we can tell. And here is the point….MUFON and other UFO Agencies, over the decades, have seen a pretty steady statistic about UFO reports.
Basically, 90% of those reports, if investigated, ultimately end up as being in the “IDENTIFIED” category. So, Enigma’s 9,000 reports since August of arbitrarily classified USOs, most likely are identifiable if they were actually investigated. Roughly 900 may be hard to figure out. Their 30,000 reports they have accrued since 2022 may turn out to be, if they were actually investigated, 3,000 that may need further consideration. What we believe is happening is sensationalism of the phenomenon. Clickbait even for media exposure. Yellow Journalism in the finest 19th-century fashion! It used to sell newspapers, right?
Who suffers because of this? The person who wants to believe. That’s who! Cruel! They are being fed a steady stream of FEAR by our media and people who are sensationalizing every report as if FACT.
Shame on them! It’s grotesque!

The Hellfire UAP Strike Video: A MUFON Analysis of the evidence presented at the September 2025 Congressional Hearing
The Hellfire UAP Strike Video: A MUFON Analysis of the evidence presented at the September 2025 Congressional Hearing
by Seth H. Feinstein, Colorado State Director, Photo Analysis Team
On September 9, 2025, the most recent UAP congressional hearing on Capitol Hill featured four firsthand witnesses, investigative journalist George Knapp, and a newly declassified video. For purposes of discussion, this video has been informally titled “The Hellfire UAP Strike.” The symbol appearing on the video itself—LRD LASE DES— this is a normal Hellfire target acronym.
This was the sixth in a series of congressional hearings on UAPs. Previous hearings—supported by videos, testimonies from military personnel, and intelligence whistleblowers—were intended to foster transparency, accountability, and public education on the UAP topic. All videos shown publicly had to be declassified beforehand, a process managed by the former Department of War (DOW) formerly the (DOD). Within the DOW, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) holds the authority to declassify analyzed UAP data. AARO declassified and released the Hellfire UAP Strike video for public viewing.
Context of UAP Video Releases
The public release of UAP footage has coincided with congressional hearings dating back to 2017. In December of that year, The New York Times played a pivotal role in publicizing the “Tic Tac, “Gimbal,” and “Go-Fast” videos, with support from To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science (TTSA). This raised enduring questions: Did the DOW strategically use media outlets and TTSA to promote disclosure, or were the videos leaked without the department’s full knowledge?
Key examples of UAP-related video evidence include:
Tic Tac (2004) – Declassified in 2017; widely discussed during the 2022 House Intelligence Committee and 2023 House Oversight Committee hearings.
Gimbal (2015) and Go-Fast (2015) – Both declassified and released in 2017.
Pyramid-shaped UAP (2022) – Shown in closed sessions; not declassified.
Hellfire UAP Strike (2024) – Declassified and released in September 2025; reportedly filmed off the coast of Yemen on October 30, 2024.
Expert Reactions to the Hellfire UAP Strike Video
Members of the MUFON Photo Analysis Team, including Marc Dantonio, Dennis Freyermuth, and Greg Cisko, have offered preliminary assessments.
Marc Dantoniohighlighted three major observations:
1. The object appeared to be struck by a missile without triggering an explosion—suggesting a “soft” target.
2. The object fragmented into several smaller pieces that began to fall.
3. The apparent speed of the object could not be determined without knowing the aircraft’s velocity.
Dantonio theorized that the target could have been a balloon rather than a UAP. According to him, the missile’s pass-through without detonation, the breakup pattern, and the background-motion illusion caused by the aircraft’s speed all support this interpretation.
Dennis Freyermuth expressed skepticism about the video’s authenticity, noting that it appears cropped and edited. He raised the possibility of a classified military test or a deliberate misdirection. Freyermuth also speculated that the missile might be the AGM-114 R9X “Ninja” variant, which deploys blades instead of explosives for precision strikes.
Greg Ciskoproduced two YouTube analyses of the event. His frame-by-frame review concluded that the missile hit the object, which then released three secondary objects. Cisko also noted an apparent “energy surge” in the UAP as it rotated to face the incoming missile—behavior reminiscent of Cmdr. David Fravor’s 2004 “Tic Tac” encounter, where the object reportedly mirrored his aircraft’s movements. Cisko referenced reports of distressed UAPs ejecting pods, including parallels drawn to Roswell.
Technical Background
The tracking drone was reportedly an MQ-9 Reaper, widely used for surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strikes. With a wingspan of 66 feet, a top speed of 300 mph, and an operational ceiling of 50,000 feet, it can carry Hellfire missiles. Because of the Reaper’s speed limit, the object it was tracking was likely moving below 300 mph—far slower than what is typically considered a UAP “observable” (no abrupt maneuvers, trans-medium travel, or extreme acceleration other accepted observables were evident).
Some have speculated the orb had impact-resistant coatings or continued its flight after the missile strike, but these claims remain unverified. The video released by AARO ends before any follow-up footage is shown, preventing full analysis.
Balloon Hypothesis
Research into high-altitude balloons reveals that many can reach speeds between 60–125 mph, depending on altitude and wind layers. Advanced balloons can exploit wind currents to adjust speed and direction. NASA’s experimental “rockoon” (rocket-balloon hybrid) systems also exist. These balloons are used in military experiments.
The orb in the Hellfire video resembles a balloon in shape and behavior. After impact, theprimary object appears deflated. Wind drag, tethering, or structural tilts could explain its movements. This supports Marc Dantonio’s balloon theory.
Competing Theories
Balloon Hypothesis (Dantonio):The orb was likely a balloon, making the missile strike a misallocation of resources.
Classified Military Test (Freyermuth):The event may have been a covert field test or military training exercise released under the guise of a UAP.
Hybrid Theory: Combining both arguments suggests the Hellfire video might depict a rockoon military training event rather than a genuine UAP encounter.
UAP Theory (Cisko):As with the well-documented 2004 Nimitz encounter, where Commander David Fravor witnessed a "Tic Tac" UAP align itself with his aircraft. This UAP theory then suggests a historical precedent for entity retrieval, referencing accounts from the Roswell incident where three pods containing occupants were allegedly ejected from a UAP following a targeted attack.
Conclusion: A Call for Transparency
The released Hellfire UAP Strike video is cropped, edited, and unverifiable. Its narrative relies heavily on anecdotal interpretation, and without the complete, unaltered footage, analysts cannot confirm its authenticity. AARO’s release fails to meet the standards of genuine disclosure.
Until the original, unaltered video is released for independent analysis by groups like MUFON, the public is left with speculation rather than evidence. As it stands, the Hellfire UAP Strike video represents a “nothing burger”—a heavily mediated artifact presented as disclosure but offering no verifiable proof of non-terrestrial technology.
Most importantly, this video analysis and assessment deals with a controversial subject. The conclusion presented here is not the only possible interpretation; however, it is based on available supporting facts and evidence revealed with this declassified release. The assessments and conclusion reported are subject to an update should future evidence suggest such a change.”

MUFON CMS Statistics for 2025: The First Seven Months
MUFON CMS Statistics for 2025: The First Seven Months
by Rob Swiatek
Generally, statistics speak best for themselves when seen in graphs, so herewith I’m presenting graphically two select categories of UFO numbers for 2025. We’re more than halfway through 2025, and inquiring minds need to know what’s happening in the skies. Has the phenomenon markedly diminished? Or does it continue apace, as it has for at least the last 78 years? Well, no suspense as to the latter: The phenomenon continues to be seen and to mystify.
The stats collected by MUFON are amenable to illustrating any of several trends. For example, one could compile the number of U.S. unknowns for each day of the week for a certain time period or note how specific UFO shapes vary per day or month over a year. For this article, however, and as I typically do, I’ve chosen to show MUFON’s incoming U.S. cases and unknowns for the first seven months of 2025. Basic as it is, this remains an important graph, in my opinion. And then I went a bit outside the box: the two pie charts that follow illustrate how a subset of the 24 shapes (which include the category “Other”) set forth in CMS vary between U.S. and non-U.S. cases
Unusual for a Winter month, January, with its cold weather and short daylight periods, is currently the high-water month for 2025 sightings—both incoming and unknown. Happily gone, one will note, are the three dispiriting months of 2024 when the CMS was shut down, resulting in the loss of hundreds of sightings that were never reported. Still, despite the robust number of 2025 cases, MUFON was outdone by the National UFO Reporting Center, which had 2,565 events—U.S. and international—versus MUFON’s 1,959 (U.S. and international) for the same time span and tabulation date. The difference is 606 events. (NUFORC sighting totals acquired from the nuforc.org website.
Turning to the pie charts, it’s an understatement to note the MUFON international total of UFO events is dominated by the U.S. numbers. For example, as of 31 August 2025, the CMS had 13 reports from India, the most populous country in the world at 1.45 billion, for the period 1 January 2025 through 31 July 2025; the corresponding number for China—with a population of 1.41 billion—is zero. Not one has yet come in! Nevertheless, with that understatement in mind, it’s almost eerie how cylindrical unknown UFOs are 8% of both U.S. and non-U.S. cases and star-like unknowns hover around 6.8%. Sometimes the statistics of UFOs can evince the phenomenon’s anomalous nature as much as an unknown trace sample held in the hand
The unknown percentages for discoidal and spherical objects are also close, considering that both spheres and discs are sometimes reported as circular UFOs, which occupy a separate slice of the chart. Combined, the latter three shape categories account for 42.4% and 56.3%, respectively, of the U.S. and non-U.S. unknowns.
I was a bit surprised the non-U.S. slate of unknowns didn’t include a single square or rectangular UFO, a category normally boasting a small, yet persistent number of U.S. entrants year after year. But the 3.2% of U.S. square/rectangular cases reflects only eight cases out of 250 unknowns, however, so they’re not common sights by any means. On the other hand, use of the trademark “Tic Tac” to refer to UFOs having the peculiar shape of the iconic mint seems to be confined to the U.S., thanks to David Fravor’s use of this term to describe the object he saw in 2004 over the Paci‹ c. Since 2017, when his case received nationwide publicity, U.S. witnesses routinely pronounce stubby-cylindrical or tablet-shaped UFOs as tic tacs. In the world outside the U.S., however, they’re still cylinders.
The book Hidden in Plain Sight: Evidence of Exotic UFO Propulsion examines photographic, and video evidence of gravitational lensing in UAP/UFO sightings, indicating the existence of Alcubierre warp drives—an advanced propulsion technology previously theorized but never conclusively documented in the real world until now.
Are UFOs real? Can exotic propulsion technologies like Alcubierre warp drives actually exist? Our groundbreaking book, Hidden in Plain Sight: Evidence of Exotic UFO Propulsion, provides scientifically validated evidence revealing extraordinary truths. Through meticulous analysis of gravitational lensing and spatial distortion phenomena—previously unnoticed within publicly available photographic and video evidence—authors Chad Wanless and Dave Palachik demonstrate that advanced warp drive propulsion has been quietly documented and in the case of the Agudilla UAP, gravitiational lensing has also been independently noticed by other researchers.
Missing Time Too! An Ordinary Man’s Extraordinary Journey
The book Missing Time Too! An Ordinary Man’s Extraordinary Journey is one person’s testament to extraordinary events that have happened throughout his life. Through this book, the author discloses that he has been experiencing alien abductions from an early age starting at three and throughout his adult life. Using illustrations created by the author and additional photographs collected from within Ufology, the author weaves an extraordinary story bringing readers along in his self discovery.
The author shares his earliest childhood memories starting at the age of three of unexplained events and missing time throughout his childhood and teens. At the age of 20, he discovered to his shock and horror that missing time was not something everyone experiences. What is missing time? That is the critical question that started a journey into understanding that he is in fact an experiencer within the UAP/UFO phenomenon. Moving from disbelieve and skepticism to acceptance and advocacy for more research into the UAP/UFO phenomenon. The question is not, are we alone in the cosmos? More so, who are they and what do they want?
The challenge to the reader is; if these events happened to them, as they happened to the author, would they come to a different conclusion? The book intentionally includes well known similar events discovered before and after the author’s own experiences. Is it possible and is it plausible that the UAP phenomenon and all of its components, including that of experiencers have merit for unbiased study and serious consideration?

Welcome to 'our interview,' a series of conversations exploring the most intriguing and mysterious phenomena of our time. Today, I'm joined by Paul Hynek, a renowned Chief Financial Officer, who has decades of experience in finance, technology AI, cryptocurrency, entertainment, and is an expert in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Our Immortality Within Reach, Gregory M. Fahy, PhD & Paul Hynek
For decades, humanity has been fascinated by the possibility of life beyond Earth. From the eerie glow of UFO sightings to the tantalizing hints of exoplanetary biology, the search for answers has captivated scientists, theorists, and the general public alike.
As we venture further into the unknown, we're forced to confront the limitations of our current understanding and the tantalizing prospect of discovery.
Paul Hynek is a son of the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer who worked with the U.S. Air Force investigating UFO cases. Paul works with numerous startups as either a board member, advisor, or part-time CFO and helps numerous early- and mid-stage companies and nonprofits manage their accounting, finance, HR, and investor and donor relations. In addition to his MBA, Paul has a Master of Arts in International Studies from the University of Pennsylvania’s Joseph H. Lauder Institute, and a BA in French from the University of Illinois, and we're thrilled to have him share his insights with us today.
In this exclusive interview, we'll delve into the latest developments in the search for extraterrestrial life, the implications of UFO sightings, and the intersection of science, philosophy, and the human experience. So, let's embark on this journey into the unknown and explore the cosmos with Paul Hynek.
Paul, you are a dear friend and I am so grateful for this interview with you. Thank you for the opportunity and for joining me today. As an expert in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and a UFO researcher, you've spent years studying the phenomenon. What sparked your interest in UFOs besides your father?
I don't know life without UFO's. We had flying saucer ornaments on our Christmas trees. It's like asking how I got interested in walking!
Further on UFOs research, you are also an expert in AI and this is the hot topic at the moment. Can you please tell me what are the implications of creating AI systems that can communicate with extraterrestrial life? And what is the potential role of AI in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence?
The movie "Arrival" showed the potential difficulties in communicating with an alien race who has a fundamentally different way of looking at language. I believe that AI will help us communicate in a few years with animals, and may well be key in unlocking how to communicate with an alien race.
SETI is already using AI in its efforts to locate extraterrestrial intelligence. AI will continue to make this time-consuming laborious task orders of magnitude more efficient.
We do investigations on UFOs. What is the connection between AI and extraterrestrial life? Can AI be used to distinguish between natural and artificial signals in space? How can AI be used to detect and analyze signals from outer space that might be of extraterrestrial origin? Do you think it’s possible?
If extraterrestrials are sending spaceships here, in my mind the inhabitants of the crafts are likely sentient AI entities - call them androids, robots, what have you. The time involved in space travel and the rigors of space radiation etc. make it very difficult for biological beings. And if somehow they are going anywhere near the speed of light, they will be so out of time phase with their home planet as to never see anyone there again.
Definitely it can. AI is an excellent tool when you need to pattern match and cull through thousands if not millions of potential candidates. I've been to the world's largest cherry processing plant in Washington state. It can process 60 million cherries a day, and assigns each of them a unique identification number. If we can do this with a fruit, imagine how much it can help in space.
What are the potential risks or benefits of relying on AI to represent humanity in interactions with extraterrestrial life and how might the development of AI for extraterrestrial communication impact human society or culture?
The Drake Equation shows us that there are likely thousands, if not millions of what we would consider intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. The Fermi Paradox wonders why we don't already have more definitive evidence of their existence. The Dark Forest theory says that civilizations are afraid of other potentially more advanced and hostile civilizations and have decided to stay under the proverbial radar. Since to our knowledge the universe is about 14 billion years old, and Earth is almost 5 billion years old, other civilizations could be not only thousands, not only millions, but billions of years more advanced than us. That's a sobering thought.
The connection between AI and beings from another planet is something very intriguing and terrifying at the same time. However, let’s talk about UFOs. Your father was brilliant conducting his own independent UFO research, developing the “Close Encounter” classification system. My question is, how have UFO sightings changed over the decades, and what patterns can be observed?
One interesting phenomenon that my father, Jacques Vallee and others have remarked upon is that reports of UFOs have tended to match the prevailing technology of the times, or at least the technology that's represented in movies and TV. In the 1890's there were reports of steampunk type air ships in the US and England that we do not seem to see these days, as reports now are of sleek crafts, many with no right angles, sound, and the ability to accelerate far faster than our jets, and also blink in and out of sight.
How do UFO reports compare with historical accounts of unexplained phenomena?
As with the type of technology at the time, people will interpret unexplainable phenomena in the context of their current belief systems. The Bible has several accounts of strange crafts in the sky, the most notable perhaps being Ezekiel's Wheel.
What is the most compelling evidence supporting the existence of UFOs for you?
The consistent number of reports over decades of cases with credible and even expert witnesses such as military pilots who quite often have nothing whatsoever to gain from reporting an incident, machine confirmations such as radar readings and FLIR camera footage, and extensive analysis by MUFON and other entities. This is a phenomenon that simply will not go away. The United States Navy has admitted that they see hundreds of objects that they cannot explain in the air and water, and they have admitted concern for the safety of their aviators.
Do you think there are any official government investigations into UFOs, and what were their conclusions? And if they have some, do you think the government hides something about UFOs and why?
I don't know what the US government is doing, and I don't care. They have demonstrated that they are a bad faith, corrupt, central actor and I no longer follow what they say or do. I don't know what they have and are hiding from the public. What's more, if I was a US Air Force general, I would not release any information. It would be my job to defend against all threats to national security, and there's no way I would release information I had on aliens or efforts to harness or reverse engineer propulsion systems.
Paul, let's dive deeper into the government's involvement with UFOs. Do you think they're working with extraterrestrials, or is it purely a defensive or research-oriented endeavour?
I have no idea!
Could UFO sightings be linked to advanced technology from secret military projects rather than extraterrestrial life? And what role do military encounters play in our understanding of UFOs?
I don't think there is one answer to the UFO phenomenon. I think there are multiple answers, and one of them is almost certainly secret, advanced military technology. I'm not a big believer in the extraterrestrial hypothesis for a variety of reasons, but that could certainly be a part of the phenomenon. Personally I lean more towards an interdimensional origin, as this would help explain how the entities are aware of us and perhaps why they would care. The distances in space are so great, and just discovering our existence is no easy feat, much less getting here. If there are entities by contrast in another dimension which is essentially "here," that could help explain both how they know about us, how they get here by some means of interdimensional transport which doesn't need to go from star to star, and perhaps also why they would care about us, as they may in some way be related to us.
Do you think the government's release of UFO-related information will lead to a greater understanding of the phenomenon, or is it just a publicity stunt?
Their dribbles of information have served to whet the public's appetite to some extent. Whether they are doing it in an overall coordinated effort with an editorial schedule and narrative arc, or whether they can't outright control the various whistleblowers who come forward, I don't know.
How can we balance the need for scientific rigor in studying UFOs with the public's desire for information and transparency?
The two go hand in hand. The higher the quality and rigor in our research, and the more people will lean into the phenomenon, I believe.
Can you discuss the potential implications of extraterrestrial life on our economic systems and global politics and how might the discovery of extraterrestrial life impact our societal values and norms?
Oh boy, who knows? This would be the biggest event in human history, and I don't think anyone can predict what would happen.
Can you discuss the potential implications of extraterrestrial life on our understanding of the concept of "life" itself and how might the discovery of extraterrestrial life impact our understanding of human consciousness and the nature of intelligence? How might the study of UFOs and extraterrestrial life inform our understanding of the possibility of life on Mars or other celestial bodies?
In my view there is almost certainly life as we know it elsewhere in the universe. For all we know if could either be such a different form than us, or a post-biological civilization that it would be nigh unto unrecognizable to our telescopes and cameras and radio wave detectors. I think that many people know are aware of the traces of what seem to suggest life having existed on Mars. I also think that most people believe that there is life elsewhere in the universe. But it's one thing to accept that idea and quite another to see it face to face.

Paul, let’s go back in time… What do you believe is the significance of the "Tic Tac" UFO incident in 2004, and how does it relate to our understanding of UFOs?
There are multiple types of evidence for this incident - FLIR camera footage from fighter jets, sightings from high-powered binoculars, and radar confirmations from both the USS Nimitz and USS Princeton. I am friends with Kevin Day who was the radar operator on the USS Princeton who made the first radar sighting, and he is one of the most credible witnesses you can imagine - he had no prior interest in UFOs, and his primary interest is always, as I mentioned about the US Navy in general, the safety of their aviators.
I would be curious if you ever considered other theories besides ET such as Time Travellers, Interdimensionals, something demonic especially concerning abductions or an ancient Silurian civilization hiding at the bottom of the oceans slightly ahead of us land dwellers? And did your dad ever consider other theories?
Yes, as mentioned, I favor the interdimensional hypothesis, although I will also tip my hat to my friend Dr. Michael Masters, who makes a good case for the time travel theory. My father, Jacques and many others have long looked beyond just an extraterrestrial origin.
One of my interests is the tantalizing possibility that DMT may not be a hallucinogenic drug, but rather a plant medicine technology that allows us access to another dimension, which in some strange way could be related to where (at least some) UFO's may in fact come from. I'm working on protocols to demonstrate the objective reality of DMT encounters, as well as reports of communications with aliens.
And Paul I heard that you and your brother were working on a project to develop a “machine”, what is it exactly? Tell me about it.
My brother Joel and a friend of ours have picked up on the work of the French astrophysicist Claude Poher, and we have been working on developing a device that following Dr. Pohers's theories would result in an anti-gravity device. I'll let you know if we succeed!
Paul, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today. Your insights and perspectives have been truly enlightening, and I’m sure our readers will greatly appreciate your thoughts. You are very knowledgeable. It was an absolute pleasure having you share your story with us. Thank you so much!
My pleasure, dear Fernanda!

The post-hearing event on Capitol Hill will bring together disclosure advocacy groups and activists in the interest of full government transparency on UAP.
It is essential that we work together to uncover the truth that has been hidden from Congress and the American people.”
— Danny Sheehan
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a unified call for government transparency and disclosure on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the New Paradigm Institute (NPI) today announced an event set to start 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Wednesday, November 13, 2024, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth” hearing at 11:30 AM EST. This hearing, held jointly by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Subcommittees on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation and National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, will feature key testimony on the topic of UAP.

The hearing will be chaired by Representatives Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Glenn Grothman (R-WI), with Ranking Members Gerald Connolly (D-VA) and Robert Garcia (D-CA). Notable witnesses include Dr. Tim Gallaudet, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (RET.); Luis Elizondo, author and former Department of Defense official; Michael Gold, Chief Growth Officer, Redwire Corporation, and former National Aeronautics and Space Administration Associate Administrator; and Michael Shellenberger, Founder of Public.
The UAP disclosure event will provide media representatives and the public an invaluable opportunity to hear directly from representatives of MUFON and NPI, two of the most influential civilian organizations committed to advancing UAP disclosure and the need to provide continued support for Congressional disclosure efforts. MUFON and NPI aim to increase public awareness and demand for accountability, urging Executive Branch agencies to reveal information about nonhuman intelligence and technologies of unknown origin to Congress and the public.
Danny Sheehan, Chief Counsel, NPI: “We thank Representatives Nancy Mace and Glenn Grothman for holding this crucial hearing and the witnesses for their upcoming testimony. It is essential that we work together to uncover the truth that has been hidden from Congress and the American people.”
Ron James, Media Relations Director, MUFON: “MUFON has been collecting evidence on the reality of the UAP phenomenon for 55 years. In 2023, we released the film Accidental Truth, featuring some of the hearing’s witnesses. We have actively shared data with Congress and the public as we push for official acknowledgment of nonhuman intelligence among us.”
Confirmed speakers at the UAP disclosure event include:
Daniel Sheehan, President and General Counsel, New Paradigm Institute (NPI)
Ron James, Media Relations Director, Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)
David MacDonald, Executive Director, Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)
Stephen Bassett, Executive Director, Paradigm Research Group
Robert Salas, Captain, U.S. Air Force (RET), author of several UFO books
Jim Garrison, Director, NPI Washington, DC Office, who will moderate
MUFON and NPI invite media representatives and the public interested in UAP transparency to attend the event, which promises expert insights and a compelling discussion on the importance of government accountability in the disclosure era.

Started in 1969, the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is currently the world’s oldest and largest organization studying the subject. They are dedicated to “the scientific understanding of UFOs for the benefit of humanity.” MUFON deploys active investigators worldwide and has amassed over 155,000 case reports. MUFON has actively participated in the political disclosure process and has provided information to the public.
The New Paradigm Institute, a project of the Romero Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit interfaith law and policy center, is dedicated to advocating for the public release of information held by the government surrounding the issue of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), or what has commonly been known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).
