The U.S. government is sitting on a trove of UFO records. It should release them

At a recent congressional hearing, the public fixated on a leaked video appearing to show a U.S. missile striking an unidentified object off Yemen in 2024. Whatever the object was, one pressing question is why it took a leak — rather than government disclosure — for the public to see it.

I spent more than 30 years inside the U.S. intelligence community, including serving as deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence and later as a consultant to the military. During those years, I witnessed a troubling pattern: Incidents of unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP (formerly known as unidentified flying objects), were detected by cutting-edge radar and other systems but routinely dismissed, buried or classified beyond justification. In 2017, I helped bring footage of three UAP encounters to the public. Those clips, recorded on advanced infrared cameras by Navy aviators, forced the Pentagon to admit that UAP are real.

Ottawa science advisor says ridicule over UFOs discourages Canadians from reporting sightings

Canada’s top science advisor says years of mockery and skepticism around UFOs have made Canadians reluctant to report unusual aerial sightings.

Dr. Mona Nemer, the federal government’s $393,000-a-year science advisor, said in an internal memo that using the term “unidentified aerial phenomenon” instead of “UFO” could help reduce stigma and encourage credible research.

Military Divers Claimed They Found an Underwater UFO Crash Site—But They Spent Decades Sworn to Secrecy

On the evening of October 4, 1967, a group of teens near Canada’s Shag Harbour noticed strange orange lights in the sky plummeting toward the Atlantic ocean, hovering just above the water’s surface. They reported the incident to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, thinking it a devastating plane crash. When the Coast Guard arrived at the scene, the only evidence of the unidentified anomalous phenomenon was yellow foam in the water. Some witnesses thought the lights sinking into the sea caused the strange material to appear.

The next day, divers investigated the scene without any proof of aliens—or even a pedestrian plane crash, for that matter—which would make it seem like the case was cold. But when Chris Styles, a longtime ufologist, began poking around 33 years later, eyewitnesses kept asking him the same question: “You know about Shelburne, don’t you?”


Shag Harbour is famous for the number of eye-witness accounts and the government’s usual denials.

Myself, I think the recent drone activity in Denmark and earlier in the USA are in fact examples of US Tech being field tested or they’re running a damn good disinfo campaign. Are they the result of a scientific breakthrough, reverse engineered Alien tech? Occam’s Razor may not apply. 

Oh Oh!

Latest – Drones seen over Danish military bases in latest air disruption

Suspected Russian drones flown near military airbases in Denmark

Drones have been detected flying around a Danish jet fighter base and four airports, causing the diversion of flights in the second night of disruption this week.

Aalborg airport, which is the country’s third busiest and is used by the military, was briefly forced to close late on Wednesday night and at least three flights had to be rerouted.

The transport wing of the Danish air force, including Hercules and Challenger aircraft, and the Jaeger Corps of special forces commandos are located at an adjacent base.

What’s the Deal with U.F.O.s?

Scientists consider whether we’ve been visited by aliens or their technology.

When I was growing up, I watched a lot of sci-fi movies about aliens that come to Earth. The extraterrestrials in popular culture, however, always looked so familiar that I found them far-fetched. What are the chances that E.T., the Predator, or ALF would develop arms and legs, a humanlike face, and opposable thumbs? Perhaps as a result, I associated alien life more with fantasy than with science, and I never gave much thought to what a visit would really look like. But my attitude started to change in 2020, when I read Liu Cixin’s “The Three-Body Problem” and its two sequels. In Liu’s books, creatures called Trisolarans send a scouting mission of supercomputers to spy on and subtly disrupt human affairs. Although Trisolarans could do seemingly impossible things, such as program protons, Liu’s rigor got me thinking about aliens from a scientific perspective. Suddenly, I could imagine a sophisticated civilization coming into contact with humanity, perhaps in ways that we don’t immediately understand.


Not a bad piece by the New Yorker. We’ll see if the on again off again Sept 9 congressional hearing offers more than the usual vague findings.

What our continued fascination with UFOs says about us

In September 2018, at 11 o’clock at night, as I strolled with my wife and daughter along the edge of the lagoon in Venice, Italy, I witnessed what is formally known as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

A dozen bright lights flew in tight formation high in the starry night, then started twirling around each other in an impossibly playful way, and finally disappeared in a flash over the horizon. Not a sound was heard. Nothing I know could have moved like that. These weren’t drones or planes.

So what did I see?

Mysterious alien space signal may finally have been solved

A mysterious “extraterrestrial” radio signal picked up in 1977 is likely to have a natural origin, scientists have found.

The infamous “Wow” signal sparked global interest when it was captured by Ohio State University’s Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project nearly 50 years ago.

The team, which was scanning the sky for signs of intelligent life, detected a powerful, 72-second radio burst so unusual that leading astronomer Jerry Ehman scribbled “Wow!” on the computer printout.

If aliens find Earth, they’ll probably come from this direction

Humans dream of finding life on Mars — but could our fascination with this neighbouring planet broadcast our existence to aliens who live much further away?

A review of the most powerful signals that humans have sent into space has shed light on how extraterrestrials might find us.

The study analysed the logs of Nasa’s Deep Space Network (DSN), an array of radio dishes in California, Spain and Australia that communicate with the agency’s far-flung spacecraft. It concluded that the bulk of humanity’s most powerful, persistent signals into the cosmos had been directed not at distant stars but at machines orbiting or roving the red planet.

New claims around iconic ‘Tic Tac’ UFO stir debate

Fresh claims about the infamous 2004 ‘Tic Tac’ UFO encounter are reigniting fierce debate over the true nature of the mysterious craft observed by US Navy pilots off the coast of Southern California.

Journalist and UFO investigator Ross Coulthart has sparked controversy by asserting that the craft, captured on video and later released by the Pentagon, is actually advanced man-made technology developed by aerospace giant Lockheed Martin.

Coulthart suggested the craft may have been operated psionically, controlled through advanced mental or neurological means, and could be the product of reverse-engineering non-human technology recovered by the US government.


Why did Trump’s Cabinet give different answers for UFO sightings?

If I recall correctly the encounters have taken place exclusively in designated USN training areas.

Lockheed Has Something ‘Magical,’ Costly as Hell, and Totally Secret Up its Sleeve

Defense giant Lockheed Martin just reported a rare — and yuge — quarterly loss of $1.6 billion, but CEO James D. Taiclet sounded unfazed, thanks to a “magical” classified aeronautics program he claims will create a “game-changing capability for our joint U.S. and international customers.”

Is it a bird? A plane? Superman?

Before we get to the speculation — and there is some juicy stuff — a quick look at how the company lost so much money on something that Taiclet said Lockheed “probably won’t be able to talk about what that is for many years to come.”


This has long been the subject of intense speculation – reverse engineered UFO tech or the result of a US research breakthrough? Beats me Scully.

This man wants to build UFO technology for America

Salvatore Pais, who filed a space-travel patent on behalf of the US navy, believes that aliens are real and that China wants to steal his science

Ten years ago, the US navy filed a patent that seemed to describe aircraft that could soar into space and accelerate at speeds faster than light.

At the time, conspiracy theorists said it was evidence that the military had discovered UFOs and was re-engineering alien technology. The navy did not address such claims and has since let the patents lapse.

But now Salvatore Pais, 57, the aerospace engineer who invented the science behind the patents and filed them on behalf of the navy, said he was worried the Chinese were developing the same technology.

When U.F.O.s Become Religion

A UFO in 1665: The Air Battle of Stralsund

The skies — and the government — could be hiding more than we know.

An interview with Diana Walsh Pasulka by Ross Douthat

Douthat: How did that pull you into studying people who claim to have had a U.F.O.-style encounter?

Pasulka: When I was doing my work for the book about the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory, that brought me to a lot of archives. I’d go into the archives — and archives are places where things aren’t digitized — and I started to look into how Catholics viewed how souls ascended into Heaven or Purgatory.

What I found was a lot of documents from 1,000 years ago, 800 or 500 years ago, about recorded sightings of aerial phenomena that Catholics had from Europe.

Canada Needs a Department for Public UFO Sightings, Federal Report Recommends

Canada needs a federal department to ensure proper reporting and transparency around public UFO sightings, according to a new report.

The July 14 “Sky Canada Project” report, commissioned by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada, sets forth recommendations aimed at improving unidentified aerial or anomalous phenomena (UAP) research and reporting, enhancing public trust, and addressing “misinformation and disinformation in the public dialogue” around UAPs.
