  • What would actual scientific study of UAPs look like?

    phys.org ^ | February 19, 2025 | Evan Gough
    NASA recently initiated a study into UAP called the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Independent Study... ... The research is titled "The New Science of Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena (UAP)." The lead author is Kevin Knuth from the Department of Physics at the State University of New York at Albany [...] "After decades of dismissal and secrecy, it has become clear that a significant number of the world's governments take unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena (UAP), formerly known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs), seriously–—yet still seem to know little about them," the authors write. "As a result, these phenomena are increasingly attracting the attention of...

    Unidentified drones have been spotted flying over three bases used by the United States Air Force in Britain, the two countries have confirmed. The objects were seen between Wednesday and Saturday flying over the Royal Air Force’s Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Feltwell bases, all used by the US Air Force (USAF). “The number of (unmanned aircraft systems) fluctuated and they ranged in size/configuration,” a spokesperson for the US Air Forces in Europe said in a statement. The three bases are located within a few miles of each other in eastern England. Since 1992, Mildenhall has been home to the only permanent...

  • How Should Conservatives Respond to the UFO Phenomenon? [WTF]

    The Imaginative Conservative ^ | October 4th, 2024| | By Justin Naylor
    UFOs are supposed to be the stuff of conspiracy theories and fringe documentaries. And yet many high-ranking government officials believe some of the most explosive claims about UFOs to be true. How would this potential reality affect the conservative worldview? On December 13, 2023 Majority Leader Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor to deliver remarks which can only be described as incredible. He was speaking about his amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Remarkably, the subject of this amendment was not Ukraine or China, nor Russia or Iran, but rather UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or what used...

    Anyone who has followed our coverage of the Pentagon's UFO investigatory office currently named AARO in its latest incarnation (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) is likely familiar with the name Luis Elizondo. ---SNIP--- Among the revelations is his testimony that his assignments revealed that there is no question about the existence of non-human, extraterrestrial intelligence. He claims that this nonhuman intelligence not only exists but is superior to our own. He describes it as being "at best" a serious national security issue and, at worst, "the possibility of an existential threat to humanity.” If that leaves you with an uncomfortable lump...
  • Oil rigger spots two UFOs 'hovering for 10 minutes' above the deck before 'zooming off in an instant' on the Mexican coast

    A pair of UFOs were spotted soaring over an oil rig off the coast of Mexico where locals have claimed is home to a secret underwater alien base. A crew member of the vessel near Tampico snapped two images - one showing a saucer-shaped craft with glowing lights circling the base and the other with a triangular design and three lights on the bottom. The images were captured on October 2023, but have just now been released online. DailyMail.com spoke with oil rigger 'Pat' who obtained the pictures and information of the sighting from a fellow colleague on another rig...
  • Report on Government Interest in UFOs Finds No Evidence of Aliens or Recovered ET Craft

    An extensive Pentagon report looking at the government's interest and investigations into UFOs since 1945 found no evidence of alien visitation nor the recovery and reverse-engineering of downed ET craft. Conducted by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the exhaustive effort (which can be read here) revisits all of the various official programs aimed at studying the phenomenon up until 2023. The study also investigated various claims of clandestine UFO projects or evidence secretly being conducted or held by the US government or private companies as recounted by specific witnesses. The findings of the report will undoubtedly be dispiriting to...

    The truth is not out there. After spending tens of millions of dollars funding dodgy efforts to determine if little green men have visited Earth, the US government has formally acknowledged its multi-decade mission to boldly go where no man has gone before has been a bust. A bombshell Pentagon review released Friday confirms The Post’s exclusive reporting from last year that the Pentagon had developed a distracting and ultimately pointless fixation on chasing UFOs. The Pentagon report examined all US government investigatory activity of “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” (formerly known as UFOs) since 1945, concluding that neither aliens nor their...

    New details involving a military pilot UAP incident over the Gulf of Mexico revealed by a U.S. Representative last summer have come to light, following the release of documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The incident, first described by Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) last year during a widely viewed Congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena, reportedly occurred on January 26, 2023, during a test mission operated out of Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Now, additional confirmation of the incident has been obtained by Abbas Michael Dharamsey through documents he obtained through a FOIA request, copies...

    The action on Capitol Hill involving UFOs (or UAP) doesn’t appear to be slowing down, even after a few House Republicans succeeded in blocking important portions of UAP transparency language in the recently signed NDAA for 2024. Following a couple of eye-popping public hearings last fall, members of the House Oversight Committee will soon receive a private, classified hearing regarding precisely what the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies know about “nonhuman intelligence,” recovered craft and biological evidence that is reportedly being kept from the eyes of government oversight and the public....It’s worth noting that the briefing will be provided by...

    The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) has unanimously approved legislation containing language that appears intended to dig out any UAP-associated technology that is or ever was controlled by the federal government. The new UAP/UFO provisions are being publicly reported in detail in this article for the first time anywhere. The new UAP provisions are part of the Fiscal Year 2024 Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA, S. 2103), which was approved unanimously by the Senate Intelligence committee in a closed-door session on June 14. On June 21 I reported on the committee's action, but the text of the UAP amendment...

    NASA is due to hold a historic public meeting about UFOs tomorrow — as the once-mocked subject becomes mainstream. The space agency launched an independent task force which has been studying unidentified objects in our skies and oceans since September of last year. Tomorrow's panel will see a broad discussion of NASA's 'science perspective' on UAP, alongside more specific and exotic presentations, including one NASA astrobiologist breaking down 'relevant observations' of anomalies 'beyond Earth's atmosphere.' Tomorrow's meeting, which is expected to last over four hours, will make history as the first time America's space agency has presented any results from...

    (VIDEO-AT-LINK)Dan Aykroyd, longtime paranormal and UFO enthusiast, has made an endorsement video for the Mutual UFO Network’s (MUFON) Kickstarter campaign. Aykroyd’s work in TV and film is legendary, and he is a major UFO buff. The extent of his interested was demonstrated in the 2012 documentary Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs. It is 2 hours of Aykroyd talking about UFOs, which may sound boring to some, but I loved it. His level of knowledge on the history of the phenomena is remarkable. He shows he is at par with some of the top researchers in the field. A video released...

    If extraterrestrial life sent us a message tomorrow, how would humanity respond? According to researchers, we don't know yet — and that's a problem. That's why, for the first time in 35 years, a team of policy experts and scientists have united to establish a set of alien-contact protocols for the entire world to follow in the event of a sudden encounter with E.T. "Science fiction is awash with explorations of the impact on human society following discovery of, and even encounters with, life or intelligence elsewhere," John Elliot, a computer scientist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland,...

    Aliki Kraterou 18:26, 23 Oct 2022 Updated: 1:15, 24 Oct 2022 A US warship encountered an enormous "Black Triangle" UFO emerging from the sea, a member of the crew has claimed. The USS Nimitz might be best known for the famous "Tic Tac" encounter in 2004 - but crewman Kevin Thomas has claimed he witnessed a different incident about a decade earlier. Two Navy pilots are said to have captured on film a Tic Tac-shaped UFO in 2004 during a routine training mission over the Pacific. The US Navy previously identified the "tic-tac" as an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena after failing...

    NASA has named 16 individuals to participate in the much-awaited study of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), or what are more commonly referred to as UFOs. In June, the space agency announced that it had commissioned a panel to investigate UFOs or, as they have recently been rebranded, “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP). At the time, NASA officials said the independent study would get started in the fall, cost less than $100,000 and last about nine months from start to finish. The team will begin the study Monday and is scheduled to spend nine months reviewing previous observations and determining how to...

    A former engineer at the top secret airfield "Area 51" in Nevada has spoken out about UFO sightings in the region in the 1960s, saying the witnessed flashes of light were part of top secret US aircraft experiments. In an interview with ABC News, Thornton "T.D." Barnes, 72, a former special-projects engineer at Area 51 said: "No one really knew we existed. Even our wives didn't know where we were going when we left Monday morning and came back Friday evening." Barnes was an electronics engineer for NASA who also specialised in advance radar and Soviet MiG fighter aircraft and...

Military authorities issued a press release after the shocking incident, saying: ‘The many rumours regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc.’ But, just...
