The yellow box contains an enlarged area of the original photo in which three lights are visible above the lunar terrain US Department of Defense The US Department of Defense (DoD) released a trove of files on UFOs. The files include images along with government documents and correspondence, some of which were classified until now. “These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation – and it’s time the American people see it for themselves,” said US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in a statement on the government website where the files are displayed. The images are mostly photographs taken by members of the US military showing small dots or indistinct shapes in the sky. Of more interest are the hundreds of pages of files relating to UFOs, also called unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), from the FBI, Air Force and various other government departments. Many of the pages are correspondence between the government and concerned members of the public. Some are pamphlets from special-interest …

The Pentagon Releases New Trove of Declassified UFO Files

The Pentagon Releases New Trove of Declassified UFO Files

Published by skeptic

Trump first teased the release in February in a Truth Social post. The Pentagon coordinated the release in partnership with the White House, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the Energy Department, NASA, and the FBI. Many of the files in this new drop contain documents that are already publicly available. However, some versions of these known documents in the new files contain more pages, or fewer redactions, than previously released versions. More than 60% of Americans believe that the government is concealing information about UAP, according to YouGov, while 40% think UAP are likely alien in origin, according to Gallup. Congress has held hearings into whether there’s been a decades-long program to recover “non-human” technologies, yet evidence remains elusive. Courtesy U.S. Department of War “If it’s just more blobby photos or redacted documents that don’t have any details in them, it’s more of the same,” Adam Frank, an astrophysicist at the University of Rochester who studies the search for alien life, says of the new files. “What we need are actual scientific results from …

Another Military UFO Guy Just Died

Another Military UFO Guy Just Died

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Last week, the FBI announced it was investigating the deaths and mysterious disappearances of at least ten scientists and engineers with government ties who either died or disappeared within the last four years. One of these scientists, retired Air Force Research Laboratory commander William Neil McCasland, had close ties to an Ohio base that’s steeped in UFO lore, sending conspiracy theorists into a tailspin. While there’s still no credible evidence of any foul play or a throughline that connects these deaths and disappearances — many of the individuals appear to have died of natural causes — the list continues to grow. Most recently, UFO expert Nick Pope, who investigated “unexplained aerial phenomena” on behalf of the UK’s Ministry of Defense, passed away at the age of 60 from esophageal cancer, as the New York Times reports. While it’s unclear whether his ties to the British military exclude him from the scope of the FBI’s ongoing investigation, his high …

The country singer, 37, posted videos on her Instagram Story Thursday in which she detailed the “craziest… orb, UFO experience” she had on a recent flight. Shortly after, science writer and self-identified “UFO analyst” Mick West took to X to debunk the patterns shown in her video as satellite flares, writing: “The @KaceyMusgraves UFO sighting video has been identified by @flarkey as being 100% consistent with Starlink horizon flares. “Her plane was in the flare zone for the entire flight, and the flares appeared in the right position, moving and fading at the same speed as seen on the video. If she could share the exact time the video was recorded, then we could identify the exact satellites.” However, the “Space Cowboy” singer didn’t seem too interested in West’s take. …

Trump’s UFO files prove we’re not alone, says ex-Pentagon chief | World | News

Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for Intelligence Christopher Mellon has sensationally claimed that US President Donald Trump’s imminent UFO files contain “shocking” proof that humanity is not alone. The ex-Pentagon chief told The New York Post the classified trove includes satellite imagery of mysterious craft that “sure don’t look like anything we have built or constructed”. Under Mr Trump’s direct order issued two weeks ago, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been tasked with releasing “files related to” aliens and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). In a Truth Social post, Mr Trump vowed to disclose “all other information” connected to the “highly complex subject matter”. The announcement followed days after Mr Trump accused Barack Obama of leaking classified details on extraterrestrials. Mr Mellon, who served under presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush, said the files are vast and include photos and videos far beyond the three Navy UAP clips he helped declassify in 2017. He said: “There’s a significant number of videos from the same sources that were judged unclassified in 2018 – …

Retired Air Force Major General With UFO Connections Disappears in New Mexico

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in Ohio has played a central role in UFO lore. The base allegedly houses “Hangar 18,” a facility which, according to UFO conspiracy theories, is said to contain debris of crashed alien vessels and even alien bodies recovered from the mythical Roswell incident. It was such a prevalent myth that it was turned into a science fiction action film, titled “Hangar 18,” in 1980. (The Air Force has repeatedly denied the existence of Hangar 18.) The base’s “Project Blue Book,” which related to investigations into UFOs that concluded in 1969, has also been the subject of plenty of UFO lore, cataloguing over 12,000 sightings, 701 of which remain “unidentified,” according to official military records. So it’s not a surprise that at least some eyebrows went straight up when news emerged that the FBI had joined the search for a high-ranking retired US Air Force major general who once served as the commander …

Inside New Age spirituality’s new age

LOS ANGELES (RNS) — “This ship was huge. It was like a city-sized ship. And there was hundreds of beings on board,” said Debbie Solaris, a military veteran and one of six panelists sharing their alien encounters with a packed room at the LAX Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on a recent February Friday. “They had larger heads, larger eyes,” she said, describing one alien group. “Very big auras, lots of colors.” Panelists’ testimonies had the arc of conversion narratives; after her out-of-body experience in 2012, Solaris traded her career in environmentalism for one as a galactic historian. “I knew at that point that my life changed,” said Solaris, hands folded, eyes upward, her long, dark hair contrasting with her fuchsia blouse. “My life was never going to be the same.” At the 24th annual Conscious Life Expo, which convened more than 5,000 New Age spiritual seekers from Feb. 20-23, Solaris’ experience wasn’t fringe. The event, which has previously featured speakers like former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, psychedelic pioneer Ram Dass and “Plandemic” filmmaker and …
