The 1969 Berkshire UFO Incident That Left a Town in Shock

 On the night of September 1, 1969, an otherwise peaceful Labor Day in the quiet town of Sheffield, Massachusetts, was disrupted by a series of mysterious events. That night, numerous witnesses across Berkshire County reported seeing strange, unidentifiable flying objects in the sky.

Some even claimed to have experienced missing time and encounters with extraterrestrial beings. What happened that night has come to be known as the Berkshire UFO incident, a case that remains one of the most compelling and well-documented mass UFO sightings in U.S. history....<<<Read More>>>...

British UFO Programme Still Active, Private Company Holding Recovered Craft

 Following recent media attention surrounding the UK UFO Disclosure Group, a senior figure within the British intelligence community has come forward with stunning revelations: contrary to public belief, the United Kingdom’s UFO investigation programme is not defunct—it’s active, covert, and now run by the private sector.

According to the source, British defence contractor BAE Systems is at the heart of the operation, overseeing a modernised version of the UK’s UFO programme across several secure facilities within the country.

In a revelation that echoes similar claims made in the United States, it’s alleged that three non-human craft have been retrieved and are currently being held in classified locations: one linked to the well-documented Pentyrch incident in Wales, one recovered from Scotland and one from the Irish Sea, near Blackpool....<<<Read More>>>...

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>>>...

It is possible that an alien mothership is studying the Earth right now

 “There is a possibility that extraterrestrial motherships and smaller probes may be visiting the planets of the solar system,” said Sean Kirkpatrick, the Pentagon’s chief ufologist, as he is called. He is the director of AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, recently created by the US military.

Anomalies should be understood as UFOs – first of all, those that have been “outrageous” in the US sky for several years next to aircraft carriers, fighters and other military installations.

A little earlier, General Glen VanHerck, head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), spoke in a similar “ufological” spirit. He stated that the Pentagon does not abandon the version that UFOs or UAPs, in current terminology, were created by aliens....<<<Read More>>>...

Mysterious Pyramids Above Kremlin and Pentagon: What’s Been Forgotten?

 Picture this: a colossal pyramid-shaped object, hovering silently above the Kremlin in Moscow. You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s another wild hoax—but hold that thought. Sixteen years ago, Russia’s biggest media outlets reported on it. Videos, photos, and countless witnesses back it up, yet this event has faded from collective memory. How does something so extraordinary just vanish from our minds?

Of course, it can all be written off as a hoax. But not so long ago, the same thing was said about UFOs, wasn’t it?...<<<Read More>>>...

Dan Aykroyd’s UFO encounter: A close encounter of the third kind?

 If you are a fan of the paranormal, you probably know who Dan Aykroyd is. He is not only a famous actor and comedian, but also a passionate researcher and advocate of the unexplained.

Dan has written and starred in movies like Ghostbusters, Coneheads, and Spies Like Us, which all feature elements of the supernatural and extraterrestrial.

But did you know that Aykroyd himself has had a personal experience with a UFO? In fact, he claims that he saw one up close and personal, just 50 feet away from him, in broad daylight, in the middle of a city.

The incident happened in Montreal, Canada, where Aykroyd was staying at a hotel with a friend. He was working on a script for a movie, when he decided to take a break and look out the window.

What he saw next was something that he would never forget.

He described it as a “big grey object, 100 feet long, 50 feet high, with what looks like a bunch of grapes underneath it”. It was hovering silently in the air, without any visible means of propulsion or wings. It seemed to be aware of his presence, as it turned slowly to face him and his friend.

They stared at it in awe and disbelief for about a minute and a half, trying to make sense of what they were witnessing. Then, the object moved away and drifted into the St. Lawrence River, disappearing from sight....<<<Read More>>>...

Can UFOs be summoned or signaled? A new scientific initiative has plans to verify such claims this year

Skywatcher, a civilian group led by Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) whistleblower Jake Barber, has released a comprehensive Skywatcher Discovery Framework, marking a major milestone in its emergence as a major organization in UAP research.

The framework lays out a rigorous six-level process to investigate unidentified UAP with scientific discipline and transparency​.

Skywatcher's team say this structured approach - complete with falsifiable experiments - will help bridge the gap between anecdotal UAP experiences and 'credible, scientifically validated discoveries.'

Barber, a United States Air Force veteran whose testimony prompted an investigation from the Department of Defense's (DoD) dedicated UAP office, known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), has positioned Skywatcher to tackle UAP claims that government agencies have struggled to resolve publicly.

"AARO is aware of Barber's claims and is investigating them," a DoD spokesperson told Liberation Times in February​ this year.

Barber's allegations include that elements of the U.S. government have even explored summoning and attempting to communicate with UAP through mind-based or psionic methods​ - a term referring to an individual believed to possess heightened mental or psychic abilities, such as telepathy or remote influence.

Now, with the new Discovery Framework, Barber's team is attempting to test such unconventional ideas under controlled scientific conditions - rather than accept or dismiss them outright.

At the heart of Skywatcher's initiative is a step-by-step roadmap for turning mysterious sightings into verified findings. The Skywatcher Discovery Framework consists of six sequential levels, each requiring higher quality evidence and scrutiny before moving to the next...<<<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>>>...

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>>>...

Kaikōura Lights Revisited: New Zealand’s Most Compelling UFO Encounter

 Early on Dec. 21, 1978, an Argosy freight plane departed from Wellington, New Zealand, on a routine trip to Christchurch. It was carrying Captain Bill Startup, co-pilot Bob Guard and a cargo hold full of newspapers headed for the South Island. But what began as a routine cargo mission soon morphed into one of the strangest UFO cases of the modern era.

As the plane passed Kaikōura, a string of strange lights flashed in the sky, following the course of the aircraft. Some were described as glowing red or orange orbs; others pulsed like brilliant white beacons. Even more remarkable, the lights weren’t just visually observed, they were radar confirmed, too, by Wellington air traffic controllers who reported the objects as solid targets traveling with the craft....<<<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>>>...

Rare V-Shaped UFO Sighted in Texas Sparks 1997 Comparison

 On August 5, 2024, a rare V-shaped UFO, often referred to as a “boomerang UFO,” was sighted in Amarillo, Texas. The video of the object was only recently uploaded online.

According to the videographer, identified as L. Miller, the UFO moved silently across the sky at a slow speed. Miller spotted it by chance, first noticing a bright light in the night sky.

At the time, he was in a forested area on a deer stakeout and had a night vision device with him. This allowed him to capture more than just a distant light—he filmed a distinct, mysterious craft....<<<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>>>...

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>>>...

Footage of John Lennon Describing His UFO Experience

 We came across and shared the footage below ten years ago but feel it’s relevant to present now as the subject is on even more people’s radar. In it, John Lennon describes his experience witnessing a UFO in New York City.

On August 23rd, 1974 Lennon walked out on to the balcony of his New York apartment, and witnessed what he described as a "Flying Saucer" hovering closely, just above his window. Lennon became so completely fascinated by the event, that he talked incessantly about the incident, and even included the encounter within two different songs on different albums.

It’s been shared around quite a bit within the past couple of years, but for those who haven’t come across it I thought I’d share. It’s always interesting to gaze into the past and see where collective consciousness was at with this subject....<<<Read More>>>....
