Ben Rich from 1975 to 1991, was the Director of Lockheed’s Skunk Works, the division responsible for development of several advanced technological aircraft including the U-2, the SR-17 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber, and the F-22 Raptor. In a presentation about the infamous Skunk Works program, Rich made several unusual comments that had many in the audience scratching their heads. During the presentation, Rich hinted on more than one occasion that more, undisclosed, top-secret advanced technologies have been developed since the F-117 was introduced. Of course, Rich could not go into specifics. Jan Harzan, director of Mutual UFO Network...

On the night of Dec. 23, a flight crew was flying back to Fort Lauderdale in an empty jet, high over the Bahamas, when they spotted a glowing, spherical object darting about too much to be a weather balloon. The aerospace world is full of flying machines that we all recognize, but sometimes, people see things in the sky that defy explanation. “It started as white and then it just got green and almost like an electric, some type of energy around it,” said Cassandra Martin, a flight attendant for Surjet, a private air service. On the night of Dec....

Unveiling the Deep: Chinese Submarines and Anti-Gravitic Drones Along U.S. CoastlinesThe realm of naval warfare is undergoing a significant transformation, with submarines potentially serving as launch platforms for drones capable of operating in both sea and air. This shift was spotlighted in a recent episode of the Shawn Ryan Show, aired on January 3, 2025, where guest Sam Shoemate discussed shocking allegations about the use of anti-gravitic technology by drones, possibly launched from Chinese submarines near American coastlines. These revelations, combined with documented advancements in Chinese naval and drone technology, suggest profound implications for global security and military strategy.(The internet...

The Hidden Roots of Anti-Gravitic Propulsion and the DARPA "Loki" ConnectionThe Sub Vet and the Quest for Hidden TechnologiesAll Conditions Normal on The DiveThe quest for revolutionary propulsion systems, including anti-gravitic technology, has long captured the public's imagination, fueled by mysterious UFO sightings and stalled congressional transparency efforts. In this narrative, we explore these themes through the lens of a lesser-known DARPA project named "Loki." While the connection to UFOs/UAPs might be considered speculative or conspiratorial, the factual elements of the project can be examined for their potential implications.The Loki Project: A Jet Fighter UnderwaterThe "Loki" project’s primary goal was...

While NASA is searching for life on Mars, a CIA document claims it was found 40 years ago. The report, 'Mars Exploration May 22, 1984,' details how the agency used astral projection—the idea that a person's spirit can travel through the astral plane—to transport a 'subject' to Mars approximately one million years BC. The study was part of Project Stargate, a secret US Army unit established in 1977 that focused on anomalous phenomena, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis. Participants were exposed to sounds like binaural beats and hemi-sync audio to induce altered states of consciousness and promote psychic abilities....

A recently resurfaced CIA document, which was declassified in 2017, has shed light on an experiment conducted on May 22, 1984. The experiment—part of a larger program often referred to as “Project Stargate”—allegedly transported the subject’s consciousness back in time, approximately one million years B.C. Project Stargate was a secret U.S. Army initiative established in 1977 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International. Its primary objective was to investigate the potential use of psychic phenomena, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis, for military and intelligence applications, according to Daily Mail. The news outlet added,...

Last week, a cable news pundit struggled to understand the new media landscape. So he sought advice from his teenage son. He asked the youngster to name the most influential people in the world today. Can you guess the names he picked? Here’s what happened: I’m thinking to myself he’s going to say Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z. He says Kai Cenat, Adin Ross, Jynxzi, and Sketch. I don’t know who he is talking about. I said ‘What platforms are you on?’ He said ‘I’m on Twitch, Kick, and Rumble.’ I said ‘That sounds like you need to go to...

FBI, FAA, and federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials believe the vast majority of sightings of mysterious drones on the U.S. East Coast are “cases of mistaken identity.” Agency officials on Saturday addressed reporters at a White House briefing, concluding that there is no evidence of “large-scale UAS [uncrewed aircraft systems] activities.” “You can’t ignore the sightings that have been there, and we are concerned about those just as much as anybody else is,” the FBI official said. “But I think there has been a slight overreaction.” The agencies believe many witnesses on the ground have been misidentifying normal,...

A passenger on a flight from Chicago (ORD) to Newark (EWR) captured footage (see below) of objects appearing far above the cloud line—at altitudes commercial planes typically cruise. While authorities have attributed these sightings to “drones,” public skepticism is mounting, as commercially available drones are not capable of reaching such extraordinary heights. The eyewitness, posting under the username “EasilyAmusedEE,” documented these mysterious objects on December 16, 2024, aboard United Airlines flight UA2359. Armed with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, they began recording roughly 20 minutes into the flight and continued to spot the objects intermittently throughout their journey.

Last year, a mysterious UFO-shaped 18.2m disc was discovered in the bottom of the Baltic sea by a Swedish ocean exploration team using sonar. Now they have managed to get near it and take photographs. According to diver Stefan Hogeborn, they have never seen anything like this: During my 20-year diving career, including 6000 dives, I have never seen anything like this. Normally stones don’t burn. I can’t explain what we saw, and I went down there to answer questions, but I came up with even more questions. At first, the divers thought that the disc was just some kind...

Imagine a universe where fundamental mysteries about our existence are so finely tuned that they seem orchestrated by some unseen cosmic necessity. What if this idea, a theory known as the “Anthropic Principle” and one often invoked to explain the seemingly improbable, could be tested and potentially falsifiable? A groundbreaking study on axion dark matter by Dr. Nemanja Kaloper, a physicist from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Davis, and Dr. Alexander Westphal, a professor at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Germany, now proposes a method for testing the Anthropic Principle, potentially shaking the foundations...

Amid FBI and state investigations into reports about several mysterious nighttime drone flights across central and northern New Jersey, sightings are now being reported in South Jersey. Evesham police said Thursday night that they were "aware of the recent surge in drone activity" in the skies above the Burlington County township. ---SNIP--- On Thursday, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy posted on social media he had met with Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, members of the federal Department of Homeland Security, state police and members of the Garden State's congressional delegation "discuss reported drone activity over parts of North and Central New Jersey."

On Friday morning, Pentagon officials held a classified briefing with the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill reportedly to discuss the unidentified objects flying over military sites and President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in central New Jersey. Nearly every night for the past few weeks, New Jersey residents have spotted mysterious objects flying at night and recorded them on video. Some find the size alarming reporting they're seeing objects the size of a small car. Officials are concerned because the objects are flying over a military installation, the Picatinny Arsenal, and over Trump's Bedminster Golf Club. In response, the FAA...

November marked another round of historic House and Senate hearings on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). ... Of particular note are FBI Director nominee Kash Patel’s statements regarding declassifying FBI materials related to the Epstein investigation, and UAP investigations. During a recent interview, Rep. Nancy Mace said she’s “seen memos between the FBI and the U.S. Army saying we’ll help you with this crash retrieval program, but you have to give us access to the crashed craft.” It’s an admission the FBI has been engaged in ongoing investigations into UAP, and the crash retrieval programs responsible for recovery and exploitation. ......

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...

In a new report released, the office says it has "no indication or confirmation" that UFO reports are "attributable to foreign adversaries." AARO's latest findings might not sit well with some in the UFO/UAP community. That's because, just last week, a quartet of high-profile witnesses — including a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral, a former NASA associate administrator and a former U.S. counterintelligence officer — told the U.S. House of Representatives that a wide-ranging and long-running government conspiracy has, for decades, served to "hide the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos" from the American public. We are...

The new director of the Defense Department’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is scheduled to meet with lawmakers in closed-door and open sessions Tuesday to discuss his organization’s activities investigating “unidentified anomalous phenomena” that have raised national security concerns. The hearing with the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities comes on the heels of the release of the Pentagon’s fiscal 2024 consolidated annual report on UAP. UAP, an acronym that refers to unidentified anomalous phenomena, is a modern term for UFOs and mysterious transmedium objects. AARO leader Jon Kosloski told DefenseScoop and other reporters last week that...

The four witnesses at the congressional UAP hearing provided written testimonies. Here are some of the highlights. Tim Gallaudet [Rear Admiral (retired)] Gallaudet called out UAPs as a safety risk for Navy pilots. He was acting as the chief meteorologist for the Navy at the time of the 2015 “Go Fast” encounter between a Navy pilot and UAP. That footage was one of the videos officially released by the Navy in 2020. Gallaudet accused “elements of the government” of engaging in a disinformation campaign designed to discredit UAP whistleblowers. His testimony didn’t use the words “alien” or “extraterrestrial,” but he...

From the Kingdom of Nye, as Art Bell would say, and following up on my yesterday's UFO report... Ex-officials allege US reverse-engineered alien tech for ‘secretive arms race’ Further expanding upon our coverage of the November 13 House subcommittee hearing, witnesses, including former Pentagon officials, claimed that the U.S. government had withheld extensive information on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs)—more commonly known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs)—for decades.

The truth is out there. Or is it? More than 20 reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) — “UFOs,” in layman’s terms — made over the past year have stumped the Defense Department and “merit further analysis,” according to the UAP program’s annual report released Thursday. Between May 1, 2023, and June 1, the Pentagon’s “all-domain anomaly resolution office” (AARO) received 757 reports of sightings — 485 of which referenced new sightings over that period while the remainder occurred between 2021 and 2022. Among those are 21 reports that AARO director Jon Kosloski said warrant additional investigation — and some...
