The truth about NASA’s ‘GoFast’ UFO verdict exposed in secret internal emails

The truth about NASA’s ‘GoFast’ UFO verdict exposed in secret internal emails

One of the Pentagon’s most famous UFO videos is facing new scrutiny after secret NASA emails raised fresh questions about how it was analyzed.

The ‘GoFast’ encounter, recorded by Navy pilots tracking a fast-moving object off the Atlantic coast in 2015, was assessed by NASA as most likely showing an ordinary object drifting with the wind.

But newly released documents obtained by UFO researcher Grant Lavac through the Freedom of Information Act revealed that NASA’s 2023 review relied entirely on publicly available footage and did not include interviews with the Navy aviators who witnessed the encounter.

Cole Allen: Weimar American

Cole Allen: Weimar American

You ever read Peter Turchin? He’s the historian who invented “cliodynamics,” a historical field that analyzes patterns in history in a scientific way, to try to find predictive meaning. His 2023 book End Times explains why he thinks we are in for a rough go of it in America, based on historical patterns. Back in 2010, he predicted that the 2020s would be tumultuous, based on his cliodynamic analysis.

How are Canada’s leaders diagnosing – and treating – today’s anger?

How are Canada’s leaders diagnosing – and treating – today’s anger?

In early 2022, when I was president-elect of the CMA, I had a phone conversation with Tom, one of my oldest friends, about the trucker protests in Ottawa. At the time, I was focused on what patients and colleagues were living through. He was focused on the threat to rights and freedoms. The conversation became existential. Accusations were made. He hung up. We did not speak properly again for years.

Five takeaways from the King’s historic address to Congress

Five takeaways from the King’s historic address to Congress

King Charles III’s visit to the US was meant to be a celebration – of America’s 250th anniversary, of enduring Anglo-American ties and of the “special relationship”. But it has also been billed as a rescue mission.

The current state of US-UK relations is strained – a reflection of British reluctance to fully back the joint US-Israeli war against Iran. So the King’s goal has been to ease those tensions with a royal charm offensive, most notably with his joint address to Congress on Tuesday afternoon.

There is some reason for hope. President Donald Trump has a notably mercurial personality. Warm relations can turn chilly in a flash. But the reverse is also true, and former antagonists can be rehabilitated, welcomed once again into the president’s good graces.

Lisa Sygutek: The CBC is a predator of local news

Lisa Sygutek: The CBC is a predator of local news

I am a big believer in local news. In the face of threats to our culture and digital sovereignty from American Big Tech giants, the CBC has an important role to play in telling Canadian stories. CBC Radio has many excellent programs, like The Current, As it Happens, and Q, which are heard around the world, and Canadians should feel proud about this.

Lately, however, the CBC’s role within the Canadian news ecosystem seems more competitive and conceited than complementary and conciliatory.

The Hypocrisy of the ‘Hate Has No Home Here’ Contingent

The Hypocrisy of the ‘Hate Has No Home Here’ Contingent

The signs are less common now where I live, but once they were everywhere. “Hate has no home here,” in large letters, usually against the same blue background common to the Democrats’ election signs. Scattered around the main lettering, the same phrase repeated in multiple languages, although never in the language of those Americans whose ancestry was European. Moreover, one couldn’t help noticing that, during an election season, the signs would be joined by “Vote for…” followed by the name of whichever Democrats were in the race.

How some Toronto homeowners are protecting themselves amid rise of home invasions

How some Toronto homeowners are protecting themselves amid rise of home invasions

Riley Mulvihill woke up to a smashing sound in the middle of the night. Masked men were trying to break through the glass window beside the front door of her Toronto home.

“Keys! Keys! I’ll kill you,” said one of them on security video.

The number of home invasion victims in Toronto hit a 10-year high in 2024, with 231 victims across 149 incidents, according to Toronto police data. In 2025, the total dropped to 183 victims across 93 incidents, but the numbers are up again so far this year compared with the same point last year.


I smell diversity.

Will U.S. Cities Regret Hosting World Cup?

Will U.S. Cities Regret Hosting World Cup?

The United States Soccer Federation imagined that securing the rights—along with Mexico and Canada—to host this year’s World Cup would be a boon to soccer’s popularity in America. Cities and states, eyeing the payoff from a worldwide audience arriving for a once-in-a-generation event, scrambled to secure their piece of this soccer pie by winning the privilege to host games. But with only weeks remaining before the 2026 World Cup begins on June 11, many officials fear that the event could become the economic development equivalent of an “own goal.”


It’s a great big con dressed up as a sporting event.

Is Mark Carney making a big mistake by not following Norway’s highly successful wealth fund plan?

Is Mark Carney making a big mistake by not following Norway’s highly successful wealth fund plan?

The thing about the new Canadian “sovereign wealth fund” (SWF) announced on Monday by Prime Minister Mark Carney is that, judging by what we know so far, it’ll be pretty much the opposite of what he’s comparing it to.

The prime minister cited Norway as a leading example of a country with a successful SWF — and so it is.

The Norwegian Government Pension Fund — Global, to use its full name, has been fantastically successful. Since it was founded in 1990 it’s grown to a staggering $2.2 trillion U.S., or just over $3 trillion Canadian.

Europeans Dream of Throwing Themselves into the Jaws of the Russian Bear

Europeans Dream of Throwing Themselves into the Jaws of the Russian Bear

Some ideas refuse to die. One of these is the notion of a European “reversal of alliances” into the arms of Russia. The phrase refers to the unexpected decoupling from former allies, accompanied by an unexpected alliance with former enemies. In 1756, Austria, which had always been an ally of Great Britain, instead allied with its longtime foe, France. Meanwhile, Great Britain and its old enemy, Prussia, became allies — resulting in the Seven Years’ War.

You hear it in Europe from the “new right” and the far left — at conferences where people swoon over “multipolarity” and in the corridors of Germany’s Bundestag, where desperate industrialists plead for Russia’s Gazprom to reopen its taps.

If this reversal of alliances was possible in 1756, why not in 2026?


I’m sure Carney has bought in.

LILLEY: Mark Carney’s new Sovereign Wealth Fund just like all other funds

LILLEY: Mark Carney’s new Sovereign Wealth Fund just like all other funds

The takeaway from Mark Carney’s announcement of a new Sovereign Wealth Fund for Canada might just be that big government is back. Of course, this being Canada, big government never really left.

Even under supposedly conservative governments, we see tax dollars being “invested” in the economy, picking winners and losers and doing what the private sector should but won’t do.

Is Secret Service to blame for White House dinner shooting chaos?

Is Secret Service to blame for White House dinner shooting chaos?

The Secret Service once again finds itself playing defense, this time over how it planned and carried out security measures for senior government officials who attended the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday following a shooting that targeted President Donald Trump.

The Department of Homeland Security agency faced criticism from lawmakers and national security experts Monday in the aftermath of the incident at the Washington Hilton on April 25.
