In recent years, researchers led by Abel Méndez—lead author of the new study and director of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico—have contributed significantly to that evidence through the AWOW project. In August 2024, Méndez and his colleagues published findings that suggest the Wow! Signal stemmed from the sudden brightening of a cold hydrogen cloud due to a transient source of radiation such as a magnetar. These neutron stars have magnetic fields strong enough to excite the atoms in hydrogen clouds and elicit a burst of brightness. Re-evaluating the Wow! Signal Now, Méndez’s team has meticulously...

For decades, astronomers have searched for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence using radio telescopes and optical instruments, scanning the skies for artificial signals. Now, researchers are taking a different approach, this time looking much closer to home for alien artefacts that might already be in our Solar System. A new study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society describes an innovative method for detecting potential extraterrestrial probes near Earth. Their approach; to use Earth's shadow as a natural filter to eliminate interference from human-made satellites and space debris. Modern skies are cluttered with thousands of satellites and millions of...

Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, PhD, an oceanographer, was one of the first to view footage from the UAP incidents in 2015 involving fighter jets attached to the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which at the time was conducting training exercises off the coast of Florida. Two videos captured by Navy fighter jets that were made public in 2020 show strange craft flying at incredible speeds with no visible means of propulsion, sometimes rotating in midair. “I knew then that what I saw was not our technology. We don’t test experimental aircraft in training ranges—it’s too dangerous—and I had access to everything classified....

A declassified Cold War-era file from the CIA has gone viral over its coverage of a supposed clash between Soviet soldiers and a UFO, passengers of which reportedly turned the troops to stone before blasting off. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the CIA acquired a 250-page KGB report recounting the events that transpired after a platoon fired at a flying saucer over Ukraine. The report included eyewitness accounts and pictures of the aftermath, which one American agent described as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood...

Space can surprise even those who spend their lives studying it. People often think of our solar system as just a few planets and a bunch of empty space. Yet new observations suggest we have been living inside a hot, less dense region, and that there may even be a strange cosmic channel connecting us to distant stars. After years of careful mapping, a new analysis reveals what appears to be a channel of hot, low-density plasma stretching out from our solar system toward distant constellations. Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute recently confirmed it using data from the eRosita...

This is one of Rogan's great video interviews of Anna Paulina Luna on far ranging topics, such as inter-dimensional beings, the Arch of the Covenant, JFK's assassination, UFO's, Remote Viewing, CIA, etc., etc. Definitely, worth a listen for a mind expanding experience.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:An Australian scientist says probabilities are the leading cause of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances. And he’s not the only one.Add in suspect weather, and iffy plane and boat piloting, and Karl Kruszelnicki believes there’s no reason to believe in the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon.While the conspiracy of the Bermuda Triangle has existed for decades, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and Lloyd’s of London has long championed the same ideas.Pick any one of the more than 50 ships or 20 planes that have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in the last century.

Harvard science professor Avi Loeb is among experts fascinated by an interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS. Loeb suggests using the sunsetting NASA spacecraft Juno to intercept the object, which he says could be some sort of alien tech, for study. He tells "NewsNation Prime" that Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., thinks the suggestion is worth evaluating.

Stephen Hawking's chilling warning to humanity may be coming true after a renowned scientist claimed a 'hostile' encounter with alien life could be months away. Hawking, the famous theoretical physicist who died in 2018, warned the world that making contact with alien life could end in disaster for the human race. The late professor believed that actively seeking out extraterrestrials would bring on a deadly invasion, similar to how cultures on Earth have wiped out less advanced civilizations in the past. 'The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us, 'Professor Hawking said in 2004. 'The history of advanced...

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...

A mysterious intergalactic object could potentially be a “hostile” alien spacecraft that’s slated to attack our planet in November, according to a controversial new study by a small group of scientists. “The consequences, should the hypothesis turn out to be correct, could potentially be dire for humanity,” the researchers wrote in the inflammatory paper, which was published July 16 to the preprint server arXiv, South West News Service reported. Dubbed 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar entity was discovered on July 1...

What if Human Civilisation rose before, in Ancient pre-history? Is it possible? The evidence would suggest yes...The previous interglacial warming period, known as the 'Eemian' period, was 130 to 115,000 years ago. This period was longer than the current warm period, known as the Holocene, has been so far. Considering modern humans had already been around for at least 175,000 years by the start of the 'Eemian', why couldn't civilisation have flourished then as it has now? The conditions were optimal, it lasted more than enough time, we'd been around for 100s of 1000s of years already and according to...

I have always been bothered by the seeming perplexity that people have about the fact that we have yet to encounter intelligent life beyond planet Earth. It doesn't seem weird to me at all, even though I suspect life--even intelligent life--is not that uncommon in the universe. Enrico Fermi--a great physicist from the mid-20th century-- expressed the perplexity that many people have in what has come to be known as the "Fermi Paradox." At its most simple, the paradox is this: if the development of intelligent life is even moderately likely, why haven't we seen evidence of intelligent life elsewhere...

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...

The Pentagon is seeking contractors to build and maintain a secure software platform to track data and investigations for its All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which handles reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) that may threaten national security. A new notice reveals plans for a custom case management system on the Defense Department’s top-secret intranet (JWICS). “The intent is to field this capability for AARO personnel at AARO HQ and for use at supporting organizations,” officials wrote. A defense official told DefenseScoop this is AARO’s first solicitation since its 2022 creation. UAP includes UFOs and trans-medium objects. “AARO currently uses...

US military personnel captured an eerie flying saucer UFO in incredible new footage that has just been released to the public. Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp say the video was recorded by government personnel over the Afghan-Pakistan border in November 2020. They released it to the public on Tuesday. It shows a massive disc weaving in and out of cloud cover. The Department of Defense labeled the disc a UAP - unidentified anomalous phenomena - and it looks markedly different to other 'tic-tac'-shaped UFOs seen in recent military footage. The raw thermal imagery, along with two additional enhanced...

Some believe UFOs are nothing but figments of people’s imaginations, or at best atmospheric ilusions; others think they are earthly secret technology; while some are convinced that these unidentified craft are of alien origin (or at least reverse-engineered alien tech). But whatever these objects may be, the unidentified aerial phenomenon is a reality, and public interest in the matter does not seem to wane. So, another week, another ‘big reveal’, with alleged US military personnel footage capturing a ‘flying saucer UFO’ being released yesterday (17) to the public. Daily Mail reported: “Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp say the...

After centuries of rumor and speculation, archaeologists have finally confirmed the existence of a colossal underground tunnel system beneath the Peruvian city of Cusco. Built by the ancient Inca, the labyrinth – or Chincana – radiates outwards from the Temple of the Sun, extending for more than a mile towards a fortress on the edge of the city.The discovery was announced at a press conference during which researchers explained how they located the subterranean passages in three stages. The first of these involved studying historical texts from the 16th to 18th centuries in search of references to the Chincana and...

An oddly shaped object hurtling through space led Israeli astrophysicist Avi Loeb to write a book proposing the existence of outer space civilizations.Dinosaurs might still roam the Earth if a giant ancient asteroid had taken a slightly different course. If Prof. Avi Loeb had followed his expected trajectory, he’d have become a philosopher rather than Harvard University’s longtime chair of astronomy and founding director of its Black Hole Initiative. And if a shiny space object dubbed ‘Oumuamua hadn’t deviated from an orbit shaped by the Sun’s gravity, Loeb wouldn’t have written his bestselling Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life...

Avi Loeb, bestselling author and the former chair of Harvard’s astronomy department, penned an op-ed in Scientific American this week positing that the universe could have been formed in a lab by an “advanced technological civilization.”….
