From Purgatory to Phenomena: The Truth About UAPs Stranger Than Fiction

The modern fascination with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs, took flight in 2017 with a New York Times report on strange encounters by U.S. military pilots.

Since then, congressional hearings, whistleblowers, and public discussions have fueled speculation about what the government truly knows. While some remain skeptical of extraterrestrial visitation, the era has unearthed questions about government knowledge, potential agendas, and the very nature of UAP experiences.

Religious studies professor Diana Walsh Pasulka, who examines UAP experiences as a unique form of American religion, journey began during her research into Catholic history, specifically how belief in the afterlife and other worlds manifested in popular culture....<<<Read More>>>...

 

Rep. Burlison on UFO Secrets: ‘We Have Something Crazy Under Lock and Key’

 Rep. Burlison has been vocal about UFOs (UAPs) and the need for transparency. Though not on defense committees, he pushes for access to classified tech, saying: “We owe it to the American people to understand where the money is being spent… somebody has discovered something—some advanced form of propulsion or technology—that might actually change all of our lives.”

He suspects hidden budgets fund these projects, echoing whistleblower David Grusch’s claims about private-sector secrecy.

Burlison is skeptical of alien origins but investigates rigorously. After a briefing with AARO (a government UAP office), he noted: “David [Grusch] gave them more information, I think, than they gave us.”

He also confirmed FBI agents saw unexplained objects (“some different people on the team have actually seen objects”), but admits Congress is blocked from key briefings: “We have been blocked… from receiving the briefings we need.”...<<<Read More>>>...

 

David Grusch’s Unifying Theory: Why the Truth About the UAP is Suppressed

 Recent discussions surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) are prompting a re-evaluation of long-held assumptions about our place in the cosmos and the nature of reality itself. 

A notable perspective emerging from these conversations, specifically from David Grusch, suggests that the observable UAP subject might be intrinsically linked to phenomena historically interpreted through theological or spiritual frameworks....<<<Read More>>>....

Pentagon Report Debunks “Go Fast” UAP Video, Citing Optical Illusion

 The Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has released a report analyzing the “Go Fast” video, which surfaced in 2018.

Dated February 6, 2025, the report assesses the unidentified object recorded by a U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet off Florida in January 2015. It concludes the object exhibited no anomalous flight characteristics.

Captured using the jet’s Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor, the footage appeared to show a fast-moving object near the ocean. However, AARO’s analysis determined the object was actually at 13,000 feet.

Its estimated speed ranged from 5 mph to 92 mph, depending on wind conditions, with the object “moving with the wind” and showing no unconventional propulsion or maneuverability...<<<Read More>>>...

An incursion of drones: An attempt to make sense of the recent phenomena

Since about mid-November of 2024, an incursion of aerial 'drones' on the East Coast (primarily in New Jersey and New York) has been spotted by hundreds if not thousands of witnesses. They are seen mostly at night and have been repeatedly observed in the airspace above sensitive military bases and installments, such as the Picatinny Arsenal Military Base and the Naval Weapons Station Earle (NJ). The drones have been so persistent in the skies above some of our military bases that the FAA was compelled to issue a temporary flight restriction, something which the drones have chosen to ignore.

Due to public pressure, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office (NJ) issued a statement on November 19th declaring that the drones pose "no known threat to public safety." How they can be certain of this without knowing precisely the nature and capabilities of these so-called 'drones' seems rather premature.

Interestingly, the flurry of drone activity did not just begin in November of 2024 in New Jersey, but in December of 2023 at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia for a period of 17 days!...<<<Read More>>>...

White House Denies Mystery Drones, but Whistleblower Disputes Claims

 Days before his inauguration, Trump pledged to uncover the truth about the large-scale drone sightings reported across the Garden State, including near his golf course in Bedminster.

“After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the [Federal Aviation Administration],” his press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a briefing.

“This information comes directly from the President of the United States.”

The statement left key questions unanswered—who conducted this “research and study,” and did it account for similar drone sightings reported in New York and beyond?...<<<Read More>>>...

 

Schumer’s UAP Disclosure Request to Trump

 Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) tweeted President Trump and encouraged him to declassify secret government archives about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). This followed on Trump’s executive order on January 23, 2025 to declassify government records on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

President Trump directed his attorney general and director of national intelligence to give him a plan within 15 days “for the full and complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy,” as well as within 45 days “for the full and complete release” of papers related to the killings of Senator Kennedy and Dr. King....<<<Read More>>>...

Unpopular Opinion: Aliens Are Not Here to Save Us

 Before dismissing this perspective, I urge you to consider it thoughtfully. Popular narratives about extraterrestrials often paint them as benevolent beings ready to liberate humanity from its worst impulses.

Yet, what if the opposite is true? What if their presence—if they’re here at all—is indifferent, exploitative, or even a reflection of our own failures?

And it doesn’t even matter what we’re talking about, extraterrestrials from space or beings from other dimensions.

The human condition is fraught with hardship. Billions toil long hours for meager wages, struggle to access basic healthcare, and endure systemic oppression....<<<Read More>>>..

Why Is the Government Calling UFOs Drones?

In the summer of 2020, a leaked Navy video showed a mysterious object darting through the skies off the coast of California. Military personnel described the object as performing maneuvers defying the known laws of physics.

 Yet, when questioned, government officials were quick to dismiss the incident, attributing the anomaly to drones or weather phenomena. For many, the explanation was underwhelming, raising a bigger question: why does the government seem so intent on labeling UFOs as drones?

Now unidentified light orbs were spotted hovering over urban centers, oceans, other countries, moving in patterns inconsistent with known drone technology. Despite public outcry, officials quickly dismissed these sightings as drones, often without presenting evidence to support the claim.

These light orbs, seen darting at incredible speeds and vanishing abruptly, bear striking similarities to historical UAP sightings, yet the “drone” label persists, raising questions about the government’s intent to downplay or obscure the phenomena....<<<Read More>>>...

New Research Shows Link Between UAP Sightings and Economic Conditions

N ew research from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem uncovers a surprising link between Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings and economic conditions in the U.S.

Dr. Ohad Raveh and Dr. Nathan Goldstein developed innovative methods to measure public interest by analyzing UAP reports, finding “a surprising link between UAP sightings and macroeconomic conditions at the U.S.-county, state, and national levels.”

Their study challenges traditional metrics for economic behavior, showing how UAP sightings align with financial trends, inform policy, and reveal public responses to economic disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic....<<<Read More>>>...

 

UFOs Fly Over UK Airports, Government Labels Them as Drones

 In a startling series of events, multiple unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were reportedly sighted over UK airports, including Manchester, sparking widespread concern among aviation professionals.

Despite vivid accounts and high-quality footage captured by witnesses, government officials have dismissed the incidents as drones, leaving many questioning the official narrative.

The first reports surfaced online when a commercial pilot claimed to have spotted a metallic orb-like object while approaching Manchester Airport. According to the pilot, the orb hovered near the tarmac before ascending vertically at an astonishing speed. The incident was reported to Manchester Air Traffic Control, who allegedly dispatched ground vehicles to investigate the sighting....<<<Read More>>>...

UAPs: Exotic or Mundane?

 The opportunity to encounter exotic phenomena makes life thrilling. In contrast, the boring routine is to meet the mundane. We crave for the exotic over the mundane. Because of this tendency, Richard Feynman warned: “We must be careful not to believe things simply because we want them to be true. No one can fool you as easily as you can fool yourself.” This pearl of wisdom cautions not to get carried away with the interpretation of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

Yesterday, a reporter from the New York Post sent me a video taken by a television news crew from a helicopter over Manhattan, showing a fast-moving ball of light during daytime. He asked: “Do you believe it is an object or a phenomenon of the camera or light? Does it appear to bear any resemblance to other types of UAP that have been reported to be seen around the world?”....<<<Read More>>>...

Inside the CIA’s Covert UAP Retrieval Missions and Non-Human Technology

 According to Christopher Sharp of Liberation Times, new disclosures from Intelligence Community and Department of Defense (DoD) sources suggest the U.S. has conducted covert operations since World War II to recover Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) materials.

Sources allege that the CIA, collaborating with the U.S. Navy and other agencies, has led missions to retrieve non-human materials from land, sea, and even foreign territories.

These missions reportedly involve organizations such as the National Underwater Reconnaissance Office, and submergence vehicles provided by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, with recovered materials sent for analysis to defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin.

Significant figures within the CIA, including former CIA Director of Science and Technology Glenn Gaffney, are implicated in blocking transfers of alleged non-human materials to outside entities....<<<Read More>>>...
