Recent comments by America’s Director of National Intelligence have reignited calls for the United States government to reveal what it knows about the UFO phenomenon. Asked whether she had discovered anything relating to UFOs during a recent podcast with News Corp journalist Miranda Devine, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard provided a hint about her own views on the topic. “Nothing that I'm prepared to talk about today… I'm just going to say this: yeah, we're continuing to look for the truth and share that truth with the American people,” she said. Pressed on whether she thought aliens were responsible...

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has called for more “transparency” from the government as she described evidence of “interdimensional beings” to Joe Rogan. Luna joined Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience this week and described both her personal experience with UFOs and what she’s seen as the head of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, a subcommittee under the House Oversight Committee. “Based on the photos that I’ve seen, I’m very confident that there’s things out there that have not been created by mankind,” Luna said. The congresswoman said these unidentified objects are referred to as “interdimensional...

Recently, a mysterious discovery has resurfaced on social media, reigniting debates and curiosity worldwide: the so-called "lost city" said to lie beneath the waters off the coast of Cuba. More than 20 years ago, this underwater site first caught the attention of archaeologists and scientists, but it has remained largely unexplored since. Given the renewed interest online, we’ve taken a closer look at the international reports and expert opinions surrounding this fascinating -- yet still unconfirmed -- find that could potentially rewrite parts of human history.In 2001, a Canadian research team reported finding massive stone structures deep beneath the ocean’s...

FReeper Help Needed - 5,000 Year Project (vanity) Yes, I’m serious. Yes, it really is a 5,000 year project. No, I’m not expecting to be around for the whole thing. Available geological, isotopic and cultural evidence strongly suggests that the Earth goes through periodic disasters. We get a major disaster every 12,000 years with “minor” disasters in the midpoints at 6,000 years. See the background video here (skip the starting ad and ignore the long expired fundraiser at the end) for information about the 6,000 year half cycle. The last 6,000 year event was informally called the Noah event, but...

A new term is spreading: MEGAFIRE. Blazes so massive, they generate their own weather systems. This one sparked by “lightning” on July 4th, now over 112,000 acres scorched after tripling in size in just 3 days. It’s producing 40 mph winds, lightning, and storm clouds FROM the fire itself. How is that even possible? MEGAFIRES making weather. Earthquakes. Floods. Tsunamis. All hitting in sync, all over the globe. This isn’t just a bad year. It’s engineered chaos. HAARP. Geoengineering. Full-scale weather modification. Why does it feel like every natural force is breaking at once?

Vice President JD Vance is “obsessed with the whole UFO thing,” he said on a podcast episode released Friday. “What’s actually going on? What were those videos all about? What’s actually happening?” Vance said on the “Ruthless Podcast.” “I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet, but we’re only six months in.” Though Vance was not specific about which “videos” interested him most, there was plenty to see in the skies — and the headlines — last year. ... Some, including Vance, are still searching for answers about unidentified flying objects. He joked on the podcast that he would...

Archaeologists working at the Magna Roman Fort in northern England have made a series of huge discoveries, in the very literal sense. Recent excavations at the ancient Roman fortification have unearthed several examples of gigantic shoes, with one representing what could be among the largest examples of historic footwear ever found. The unusual discoveries are offering researchers fresh new insights into the diversity of the people who worked along Hadrian’s Wall close to 2,000 years ago. A Gigantic Discovery The discoveries are among the latest that have made their way into the Vindolanda Charitable Trust’s remarkable collection, with similar examples...

It should be illegal for anyone to artificially modify the weather. That is something that we should all be able to agree on. Unfortunately, as you will see below, it has now come out that this has been happening all over the western half of the United States. ... ... Whoever approved cloud seeding operations in Texas needs to resign immediately. But this isn’t just happening in Texas. In fact, according to the official website of the North American Weather Modification Council, most states in the western half of the nation are actively conducting cloud seeding operations…... ...

A Pair of Lawsuits Promise to Expose the Truth Behind the July 1996 Disaster. On July 17, 1996, TWA 800, a Paris-bound 747, blew up ten miles off Long Island’s south shore, killing all 230 souls on board. In the days leading up to the anniversary, I will share some fresh insights on this tragedy and the much too successful cover-up that followed.After 25 years investigating the destruction of TWA Flight 800, I have learned to temper my enthusiasms. That said, I continue to take heart when I see signs of life. Perhaps the most promising development in the case...

A dangerous misconception exists in the field of ufology that there are no astronomers who have seen UFOs. But nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, there is a long list of famous astronomers who have had remarkable UFO sightings. In 1952, J. Allen Hynek, the astronomical consultant for the Air Force’s Project Blue Book held a conference with a group of astronomers. He asked about UFOs and received some shocking responses. “Over forty astronomers were interviewed,” he said, “of which five had made sightings of one sort or another. This is a higher percentage than among the...

As reported around the world, the ivory-billed woodpecker (Campephilus principalis), last known to exist in 1944, was sighted in eastern Arkansas in 2004. The sighting prompted a massive (and secret) follow-up search in 2005 of a sixteen-square-mile area of Arkansas forest. When the bird was confirmed to exist, the discovery spawned international headlines, an article in the journal Science, and a book titled The Grail Bird: Hot on the Trail of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. While the search for additional evidence of the woodpecker continues, the investigation is instructive for what it did not find: the alleged and elusive Bigfoot. The...

A proposal to designate the tortilla as New Mexico’s official state bread had unanimous support from lawmakers. On Friday, though, it ended up falling flat. It wasn’t because Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham isn’t a fan of the round wraps that have long been a staple of Mexican, Central American and Southwestern U.S. cooking. It was because she believes lawmakers missed opportunities to debate bills that deal with weightier matters as the state faces extraordinary challenges. “Of course, I enjoy celebrating our unique culture,” she wrote in her veto message, ticking off numerous official state symbols and songs that New Mexico...

Albert Ostman (April 21st 1893 – 1975) was a Canadian prospector who reported that he was abducted by a Sasquatch and held captive for six days. He stated that the event took place near Toba Inlet, British Columbia in 1924. Albert was born in northern Sweden, in Arnäsvall, to Abraham and Albertina Östman (nee Strandberg). He emigrated from Sweden to Canada in 1913. He did not come forward publicly with his story until 1957. ALBERT OSTMAN'S STORY I have always followed logging and construction work. This time I had worked over one year on a construction job, and thought a...

Globalist billionaire Bill Gates has arrogantly dismissed documented charges of genocide, including allegations that claim his experimental vaccines have caused the deaths of millions of children worldwide.When questioned about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s accusations, Gates told the Wall Street Journal that he’s “prepared to let the public decide.” An astonishing response from a man at the center of such grave claims, who is facing trial in the Netherlands for misleading the public about Covid mRNA vaccines. The self-appointed pandemic expert continues to raise eyebrows with his recent statements about an impending pandemic. During the interview with WSJ Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker,...

Two Portland men lost their lives while searching for Sasquatch in eastern Skamania County, Washington. The Skamania County Communications Center received a report on December 25, 2024, around 1 a.m., about two overdue individuals who had planned to return home on December 24, 2024.

Over three days, more than 60 volunteer search...

Two Oregon men who ventured into the woods of Washington state on a Christmas Eve hunt for Sasquatch have been found dead, authorities confirmed on Saturday. The 59-year-old and 37-year-old, whose names have not yet been released, tragically failed to return from their expedition, sparking a frantic three-day search across the rugged Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The men's deaths are believed to be the result of exposure to the harsh winter conditions. With no signs of foul play or injury, authorities speculate that the pair's lack of preparation for the extreme weather may have led to their deaths. The Sheriff's...

The Bigfoot Discovery Museum in the Santa Cruz Mountains will close after 20 years as its owner retires. "It's going to be weird for me. Yeah. I'm so used to this, and I've been doing this for so, so long. To suddenly have it all go away, and everything is going to be strange," said owner Michael Ruggs. The iconic museum, located alongside Highway 9 in Felton, has embodied Santa Cruz's quirkiness for twenty years. As Ruggs retires, the museum will retire alongside him. "Well, anywhere from 30 to 70 people come in the door and, they'll check everything out,...

Does the 'Nguoi Rung' roam the forests of Vietnam, or is it a legend?This is my strangest wildlife adventure yet. Through the years, I’ve searched for various rare animals—forest elephants in Borneo, tamaraw in the Philippines, lions in Africa, Komodo dragons in Indonesia. Today, we’re on the trail of an animal that probably doesn’t even exist. This is my first foray into the field of cryptozoology, the study of unknown animals. Bigfoot of North America, the Loch Ness Monster of Scotland, the Yeti of the Himalayas, and the Chupacabra of Mexico are among the world’s best-known cryptids. Most cryptids, like...
