Senator Rounds on UFOs: Some Strange Things Are Out There

 Senator Mike Rounds, who supports the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act (UAPDA), recently gave an in-depth interview to Ross Coulthart of NewsNation. Rounds serves on five key Senate committees, including Appropriations, Armed Services, and Intelligence—putting him at the center of national security and classified defense matters.

In the interview, Rounds discussed renewed efforts to pass the UAPDA as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), after it was blocked in previous years.

“I’ve been informed that Senator Schumer would like to partner once again and that we would offer it again this year in the National Defense Authorization Act, which we’ll begin working on here in the next few weeks. The answer is yes, we intend to move forward once again,” Rounds confirmed...<<<Read More>>>...

Former NASA Official Debunks Alien UFOs: ‘Nobody Is Visiting Us’

 In a time filled with UFO conspiracy theories, a former NASA official is pushing back against claims of alien visits to Earth. Joseph Gutheinz, a retired NASA investigator and current attorney, says science—not speculation—should guide the discussion.

“Prove it. Honestly, prove it,” he challenges UFO believers. “They’ve been claiming that there have been UFOs since the 1940s. And, you know, Area 51 supposedly houses UFOs. Have someone go in, look at Area 51.”

During his NASA career, Gutheinz often heard wild claims. “I would regularly get calls from individuals who believed they were abducted or had a chip in their brain from aliens,” he said.

His response? “The possibility of anybody coming from another world to visit us was beyond unlikely… See a psychiatrist.”...<<<Read More>>>....

 

Unlocking the UK’s UFO Secrets: New Group Calls for Transparency

 A new documentary has uncovered that Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and Prince Charles received private briefings on the connection between UFOs and Crop Circles from leading researcher Colin Andrews.

The revelation comes as a newly formed group, the UK Disclosure Group, calls on Labour leader Keir Starmer to declassify the UK’s hidden UFO files.

The documentary, “The King of UFOs,” set to premiere on May 19th in Soho, London, during the UK Disclosure Group’s launch, presents evidence that the royal family took the UFO phenomenon seriously. According to the film, Prince Philip collected military UFO reports and invited experts for private briefings.

Queen Elizabeth II was also kept informed on UFO-related matters, and Colin Andrews, a prominent Crop Circle researcher, personally briefed both Prince Philip and Prince Charles on cases involving Crop Circles and UFO activity....<<<Read More>>>...

'80 years of lies and deception': is this film proof of alien life on Earth?

The Age of Disclosure, a provocative new documentary that argues for the existence of extraterrestrials, has drawn gasps and criticism at the SXSW film festival.

A splashy new documentary that asserts the presence of extraterrestrial life on Earth and alleges a US government effort to hide information on possible alien activity is making waves at SXSW.

The Age of Disclosure expounds upon years of congressional activity and testimony surrounding the presence of Unexplained Anomalous Phenomena (or UAP, a rebranding of the stigmatized UFO), in the United States, drawing both buzz and skepticism at the Austin, Texas-based cultural festival.

The film, directed by Dan Farah, features 34 military and intelligence veterans with direct knowledge of or experience with UAPs. All testify to the presence of alien flying objects and, for some, extraterrestrial beings on Earth. Some also allege a government cover-up of supposedly paradigm-shifting information - an effort that the film's lead subject, Luis Elizondo, a member of the government's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), deemed "the most successful disinformation campaign in the history of the US government", representing "80 years of lies and deception".

A bipartisan group of government officials, including the former senator for Florida and Trump's new secretary of state, Marco Rubio; the Democratic New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand; and the Republican South Dakota senator Mike Rounds, also call for more transparency on the subject, citing their personal experience struggling to access any information on UAPs.

All participants, according to the film, disclose as much information as they lawfully can - which isn't that much in terms of hard evidence, as several critics have noted. As IndieWire put it, The Age of Disclosure presents "the most convincing argument you can make without showing any actual evidence". The Hollywood Reporter's Daniel Fienberg dismissed it as a "a basic cable exploitation doc done up with a fancy gloss", in which "nothing is proven, and thus nothing can be refuted"....<<<Read More>>>...

Some UFO Abductions Were Simulated CIA Psychological Warfare Experiments

 Throughout history, the field of ufology and the examination of the extraterrestrial hypothesis have, without a doubt, been overcome with a plethora of disinformation. Those who have dived into the depths of ufology know this best, as it's well documented that 'outsiders' from intelligence agencies and governments have infiltrated the field. 

They did this, and perhaps still do, to deceive researchers and people who are interested in the topic for one simple reason, to keep them away from the truth. 

On top of these disinformation campaigns there has long been an "official campaign of ridicule and secrecy" (Roscoe Hillenkoetter, Ex CIA director) associated with the subject. But perhaps things are changing with recent revelations, but that’s another discussion in itself.

I'd like to draw your attention to Dr. Jacques Vallée, who holds a master's degree in astrophysics and a Ph.D. in computer science. The subject of UFOs first attracted his attention as an astronomer in Paris. He subsequently became a close associate of Project Blue Book's J. Allen Hynek and has written several books on the UFO enigma. He is currently a venture capitalist living in San Francisco. Vallée co-developed the first computerized map of Mars for NASA in 1963. He later worked on the network information centre for the ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet, as a staff engineer of SRI International's Augmentation Research Center under Douglas Engelbart....<<<Read More>>>...

Are We Trapped in a Permanent UFO Disclosure Loop?

 For more than a century, the promise of UFO disclosure has loomed like a mirage on the horizon of human curiosity.

From the flickering Foo Fighters reported by World War II pilots to the grainy footage of the Tic Tac UAP darting across military screens in 2017, each era has been assured that the veil of secrecy is about to lift.

Yet, as we stand on the cusp of 2027—a year whispered to herald a “major UFO event”—the question lingers: Are we ensnared in an endless cycle of anticipation, where tantalizing hints never coalesce into revelation? If nothing substantial emerges in 2027, are we doomed to repeat this loop indefinitely, forever chasing a truth that remains just out of reach?...<<<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>>>...

Crashed Craft & Bodies Recovered? Footage of an Egg Shaped UFO Crash Retrieval Emerges

 "Whistleblowers" with verified, legitimate credentials have been stepping forward since the 1940s, emphasizing the reality of UFOs and the manoeuvres they can perform. I am talking about crafts with no visible means of propulsion that defy our understanding of physics and aerodynamics. 

A great example would be the General Nathan Twining memo from 1947, sent to the commanding General of the United States Air Force at the time. 

The memo emphasized the operating characteristics of these objects and that the phenomenon is "real" and not visionary or fictitious. There are now thousands upon thousands of documents like this in the public domain, including objects travelling so fast that they seem to be teleporting from point to point.

From the 1940s to the present day, personnel from all agencies and ranks (and more) from dozens of countries have been emphasizing the fact that UFOs are real and many of them originate from non-human intelligence. The examples are abundant, and the electrooptical data released over the past many years also complement these claims, not to mention the similarities and consistency of the stories of those who have claimed to have had ‘contact.’...<<<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>>>...

 

Pulsating UAP-Orb Filmed Through Telescope

 According to @jcutillo, the sighting took place on the night of December 25, 2024. The phenomenon featured pulsing lights that did not resemble standard aircraft beacons or navigation lights.

The user noted the presence of a Starlink satellite transit in the same general direction at around 6 PM that evening. However, he clarified that the observed object could not have been a Starlink satellite, as its movement across the sky was inconsistent with Starlink’s typical fast trajectory....<<<Read More>>>...

What to Do if Non-Human Intelligence Is Confirmed on Earth

 Imagine waking up to the headline: “Non-Human Intelligence Confirmed on Earth.” For many, this revelation would feel like a seismic shift, upending everything we know about life.

This guide aims to prepare readers for such a scenario, focusing on the assumption that these intelligences are benevolent and here for peaceful purposes. I tried to write it in such a way that it would be understandable for everyone, even for those who were not interested in this phenomenon.

I’ve also collected all the links to authoritative sites here so that the next time someone tells you why the government isn’t talking about this, have them check the sources and references of this article.

Before diving into the details of contact, it is important to understand some terminology. The term “UAP” (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) is the modern replacement for “UFO” (Unidentified Flying Object). While UFOs traditionally evoked images of flying saucers and alien invaders, UAPs encompass a broader range of phenomena, including mysterious objects detected in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans....<<<Read More>>>.....

The US government must come clean about UFOs

Last month's congressional hearings on unidentified anomalous phenomena — UAP, the government's new name for UFOs — could be characterized as a tale of two testimonies.

The first hearing was before two subcommittees of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and included sworn statements by myself, a former NASA official, an investigative journalist and Luis Elizondo, a former senior leader of the Pentagon's secret UAP office, known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

Elizondo was unequivocal about UAP: They are real, of nonhuman origin, represent advanced technologies that are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe, and information about them is being withheld by the U.S. government from members of Congress and the public.

In my testimony, I backed up Lue's statement and commended his courage and that of other former government UAP witnesses and whistleblowers who have spoken out. I also described my personally witnessing a now-declassified UAP video captured by the infrared sensor on a Navy fighter jet during a training event off the East Coast in 2015.

The second UAP hearing took place a week after the first and featured Jon Kosloski, the director of the Pentagon's UAP Office. Kosloski testified before the chairwoman and ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities. He too spoke in no uncertain terms, stating that his office, also known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, has discovered no verifiable evidence of activity, technology or beings of extraterrestrial origin.

Additionally, Kosloski provided the results of a technical analysis of the very UAP video I described during my testimony a week prior. The UAP in the video has been called the "Go Fast" due to the relatively high apparent velocity it exhibited. Kosloski, however, concluded that the UAP was in fact not traveling very fast, therefore inferring that it was not anomalous in nature....<<<Read More>>>....

Why now? Pentagon says UFO nearly crashed into commercial airliner above New York – as bombshell report is released

 The Pentagon has released a new report on UFOs that revealed hundreds of documented incidents of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs).

While there is no evidence to suggest that these UAPs – the government’s term for UFOs – are of extraterrestrial origin, some defy explanation, including a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York.

The report comes as public interest in UAPs has skyrocketed, prompting the US government to work to provide some answers about these strange objects.

It was published one day after House lawmakers called for greater government transparency during a hearing on UAPs.

The Pentagon’s review detailed 757 cases of UAP encounters that were reported to US authorities mainly between May 1, 2023 and June 1, 2024.

That total includes 272 incidents that occurred before that time period but were not previously reported.

Reporting witnesses included commercial and military pilots as well as ground-based observers.

The majority of these incidents occurred in airspace, but 49 took place at altitudes estimated to be at least 62 miles above Earth’s surface, which is considered space.

No injuries or crashes were reported in any of the incidents.

But a commercial flight crew reported one near miss with a ‘cylindrical object’ while flying over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New York. That incident is still under investigation....<<<Read More>>>....

UFO Sighting in Axutla, Puebla: Spiked Object Captured in Broad Daylight

 On September 29, 2024, a video (see below) from the town of Axutla in the Mixteca Poblana region of Puebla, Mexico, went viral, showing a strange object, believed to be a UFO, in broad daylight.

Captured on camera by locals, the footage, which lasts around 30 seconds, shows a mysterious circular object with spiked edges hovering in the clear sky.

The video first surfaced on the Facebook page “Axutla Agua que Brilla,” and quickly spread across social media worldwide....<<<Read More>>>..

 

First image released of 'cylindrical' UFO shot down by US fighter jet over Alaska in 2023

 This is the first image of a UFO shot down by American fighter jets during a chase near Alaska last year.

The photo shows a seemingly glowing horse shoe-shaped object with ill-defined edges over the Yukon territory in northwest Canada in February 2023.

It was shot down by a US Air Force F-22 stealth fighter on a joint mission with the Canadian Armed Forces following the now infamous Chinese spy balloon drama of February 2023.

Redacted documents show the image was designated as 'unclassified' within just days of the now 19-month-old incident, yet Canada's defense department did not release it to the public...<<<Read More>>>...

UFO Sighting Over China: The Clearest Image Yet

 Unlike the countless grainy, out-of-focus, or poorly captured images that often accompany reports of unidentified flying objects, this particular image is remarkable for its striking clarity.

The photo, taken over the bustling city of Xiamen in China, by a photographer known only by the pseudonym “Cirenim,” showcases a distinct, disc-shaped metallic object hovering high in the sky.

What makes this sighting so remarkable is the sheer detail of the object. The smooth, silvery surface of the UFO is clearly visible, set against a backdrop of clouds glowing in the soft light of the sun. The contrast between the object and its surroundings makes it stand out in a way that few other UFO photographs do....<<<Read More>>>...

 

The Growing Belief in Extraterrestrial Visitors

The belief that UFOs are evidence of extraterrestrial visitors is gaining traction once again. While tales of mysterious objects in the sky have appeared in art and literature for centuries, the modern UFO phenomenon took off in the 1940s.

During World War II, “foo fighters” were reported over Europe’s battlefields, and in 1947, Kenneth Arnold’s encounter with multiple flying objects coined the term “flying saucer,” bringing the concept into mainstream awareness.

Though interest in UFOs waned slightly by the early 2000s, today more people than ever believe we might be visited by beings from other worlds.

In the 1990s, polls suggested that around 20% of Americans believed UFOs were of alien origin. Today, that figure has risen to over 34%, reports The Week...<<<Read More>>>...

Glowing Mystery: The Story Behind the “First UFO Selfie”

 The image shows a glowing, perfectly shaped spherical object, apparently dotted with yellow “landing lights.”

For many years, people around the world have reported unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that occasionally appear in different parts of the world.

There are many photos of UFOs , but the authenticity of each one is questionable: in some cases, refraction of light, optical effects or other completely natural factors are blamed. However, now it seems that everything may change.

Brazilian UFO researcher Edie Meireles has captured strange images of a perfectly spherical UFO dotted with yellow “landing lights.” The photo has caused quite a stir among scientists, with some even suggesting that Meireles’s snapshot may actually be “the first UFO selfie in history.”...<<<Read More>>>...

 

Why is the Pentagon's UFO office so clueless about UFOs?

 On July 11, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) reintroduced the most extraordinary legislation in American history. The Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act alleges that shadowy elements of the U.S. government have surreptitiously operated "legacy programs" that retrieve and seek to reverse-engineer UFOs of "unknown" or "non-human" origin.

As a remedy, the Disclosure Act would establish a blue-ribbon review board to gradually and strategically release long-withheld UFO-related records publicly via a "controlled disclosure campaign."

Schumer and Rounds's reintroduction of the legislation is particularly notable because it was largely gutted, at the request of the Pentagon's UFO office, by House lawmakers last December. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) — established in 2022 — also issued repeated categorical denials of the stunning UFO-related activities alleged in the Disclosure Act.

In a lengthy, error-laden report released in March, for example, the office stated that it "found no empirical evidence that the [U.S. government] and private companies have been reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology."

The reintroduction of the Disclosure Act, in full, is thus a stunning double rebuke of AARO. Notably, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who led the charge to establish the office, is a cosponsor of the legislation....<<<Read More>>>...

UFO Disclosure Is Happening Now, But Not As You Imagined

 For decades, the collective imagination has been enthralled by the prospect of a major announcement from world leaders, perhaps the U.S. President, disclosing the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Picture the scene: a press conference, flashing cameras, and a statement that changes our understanding of the universe. However, reality has taken a different, more nuanced path. Disclosure, as it turns out, might be a gradual process, unfolding before our eyes in ways less cinematic but equally profound.

The term “disclosure” conjures images of definitive proof, a moment of clarity where all doubts are erased. Yet, what if disclosure isn’t a moment but a movement? “We had authentic military footage, abductions, implants… we had everything,” remarks a UFO enthusiasts on social media, echoing a sentiment that the evidence has been piling up for years....<<<Read More>>>...
