This Thursday, nearly two dozen lawmakers, former intelligence officials, researchers, and whistleblowers will come together for a first-of-its-kind forum on UAP disclosure and its implications.

The event, called Disclosure Forum 2026, is taking place in Washington, D.C. The theme, "Humanity at the Edge of Discovery," will guide panels, presentations, and roundtables with congressional lawmakers, as well as discussions on security, defense, and policy.

Featured speakers include U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., U.S. Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., and U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn.

Disclosure Foundation board members Professor Avi Loeb and Mike Gold will also speak. Both joined NewsNation to discuss this week's event.

China and Russia have retrieved downed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) and tried to reverse-engineer them, an expert claimed, citing newly released documents.

Jordan Flowers, executive director of the UAP Disclosure Foundation, said one of the most significant takeaways from the third tranche of UFO files made public on June 12 was that the US's foreign adversaries also appear to be engaged in research that could threaten national security.

"We also have reason to believe that the Chinese and the Russians may have retrieved their own objects related to this and may have tried to reverse engineer them," Flowers told "NewsNation Prime."

Area 51 Secrets: US government acknowledgment fuels conspiracy theories and UFO speculations

The US government's recent acknowledgment of Area 51, a secretive military base, has only fueled the fire of conspiracy theories and speculation that have long surrounded it.

Area 51
© viorelsecareanu.substack.com/Area 51: latitude: 37°14'31.21"N longitude: 115°48'48.43"W.
Once a testing facility during the Cold War, this base has been the subject of rumors about crashed alien ships and their alleged reverse engineering.

The National Security Archive of George Washington University has published a report called 'The Secret History of the U-2', which contains several references to Area 51. The report includes declassified documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

However, the declassified documents do not mention any remotely alien activity in the installation. While it is no surprise that the US government has not disclosed any information regarding the alleged reverse engineering of alien ships, some believe that the government is covering up the truth about extraterrestrial activity.

According to nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, there are several reasons why governments try to cover up the facts concerning flying saucers and their occupants. One reason is that the military wants to understand how they work because they could become excellent weapons systems. Therefore, revealing information about the matter can compromise them, especially if their enemies manage to understand it first.

Americans living in the northeastern United States witnessed "brilliant and beautiful" glowing red and white orbs in their backyard, which they caught on video, the Pentagon's third release of declassified UFO files on June 12 showed.

The new documents contained encounters from around the world, such as reports of a "disc-like" object in Zimbabwe, a "potato shaped" craft in Colorado, and "heavenly" phenomena moving at speeds of 12,000 kilometers per hour in Hungary.

The third batch adds to the previous two document dumps of UFO and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) files released by the Pentagon on May 8 and May 22.

Those batches also detailed stunning encounters, including Apollo 11 astronauts seeing a "sizable" object near the moon and a UAP being shot down over the Great Lakes.

Here are some key highlights from a partial review of the newly released files:

The Trump administration has released a third tranche of previously classified UAP files, adding dozens of new documents, photographs and videos to the government's rapidly expanding archive of unexplained sightings.

The materials were uploaded to the Department of War's website on Friday morning and include a series of cases that investigators were unable to explain, leaving the nature of the phenomena unresolved definitively.

Among the newly released records is a 2025 FBI report describing a video captured by a citizen in the northeastern US.

According to the witness, a bright object hovered over their backyard as a 'brilliant red sphere' roughly the size of a basketball.

The Central Intelligence Agency placed its assets in the African nation of Zimbabwe on high alert in the summer of 2008 after a UFO was spotted hovering directly over the country's main airport.

The incident, which took place July 2, 2008, is detailed in a cable that was released Friday as part of a third tranche of UFO files made public pursuant to President Trump's February declassification order.

The cable, which was circulated throughout the US government and military hierarchy in the final months of the George W. Bush administration, described a craft that "hovered at an undetermined altitude directly over the Harare airport."

An invisible Atlantic boundary where UFO reporting changes

A passenger jet crossing the North Atlantic can move from one system for handling reports of unidentified objects to another without anything on board changing at all.

The aircraft does not change. The crew does not change. The passengers do not change. But once a flight crosses the oceanic handover point near 30 degrees west longitude, the way Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and possible near misses are recorded and escalated can become far less clear.

UAP are not just a subject of public fascination. In some cases, pilots report objects they cannot identify in circumstances that raise genuine flight-safety concerns, including the risk of a near miss.

Around 2,000 aircraft cross the North Atlantic each day, making it one of the busiest aviation corridors in the world.

Roughly 75 to 80 per cent of those flights operate within the Shanwick Oceanic Control Area managed by the Irish Aviation Authority and the UK's air traffic control service. In practical terms, that means roughly 1,400 to 1,600 aircraft per day operate within Irish-managed oceanic airspace.

Much of this route lies beyond conventional radar coverage. Instead, controllers rely on position reports, digital tracking and direct text-based communications with pilots to keep aircraft safely separated.

Yet within this vast and heavily used corridor, there is a little-known gap in how reports of UAP and possible near misses are handled.

During a press conference outside the US Capitol, lawmakers and whistleblowers attempted to revive the issue of disclosure, despite the lack of material evidence to support their claims.

On the morning of 9 June 2026, under a hot sun, a new event followed the release of UFO-related material by President Trump's initiative, "PURSUE", outside of the official Pentagon group tasked with handling such materials: the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). During the event, whistleblower David Grusch repeated his claims that bodies of non-human origin had been recovered by US forces.

In my official duties, I was exposed to human and signals intelligence information concerning foreign adversary UAP crash retrieval, exploitation and study efforts, adversary views on US legacy program reverse engineering efforts and US- held audiovisual information related to crash retrieval matters such as the recovered vehicles and the associated biological material.
This is not the first time that Grusch has declared that biological elements were recovered by US operatives. During his congressional hearing, he stated under oath: "biologics came with some of the recoveries".

David Grusch (Center) is an Air Force veteran turned UFO whistleblower. Grusch joined members of the House Oversight Committee Tuesday to reveal secrets of alien life.
A UFO whistleblower stood at the steps of Capitol Hill on Tuesday to deliver shocking secrets he claimed have not been released by the US government despite promises to disclose all information on alien life.

Air Force veteran David Grusch stood with members of the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets to publicly call on the White House to release the 'smoking gun' proof that UFOs are real.

Grusch and lawmakers claimed that files from the Russian and Brazilian governments, in which military officers encountered UFOs and extraterrestrials, have been independently confirmed to be true.

When asked specifically about how many alien species have been identified by the US government, Grusch revealed: 'It's a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to what I would consider sentient plasmoid life, but there are several that the US government is aware of.'

Lue Elizondo: "There's No Going Back" on UFO Disclosure

It has been almost a decade since Lue Elizondo first emerged as one of the most prominent public faces of the modern UFO / UAP issue, following the New York Times' 2017 reporting on AATIP, the Pentagon's secretive Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

In an exclusive interview, Elizondo shares perspectives and personal observations in a way he has not yet done with anyone else. He gets candid and personal, sharing a side of himself I suspect he has kept closely guarded for years.

At the beginning of our interview, Elizondo tells me without prompting that there's no going back from the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) disclosure process, which appears to have accelerated under the Trump administration. It's a process which he arguably kick-started in public.

He adds:
"I knew that there would come a point where there's no going back. Make no mistake about it. I realize I started this conversation for better or for worse. I started this train rolling down the tracks and the responsibility to see this through is on my shoulders."
I have known Lue Elizondo for close to five years. We first met on a bitterly cold day at Soho Farmhouse, tucked away in England's Cotswolds. He was there with Dan Farah, director of The Age of Disclosure, as they prepared for a GQ Heroes event.

As he was when I first met him, Elizondo is still enthusiastic, energetic and relentlessly positive. Part of that intensity, he tells me, comes from the way he sees the world.

For some time, I have known Elizondo has been keeping something private. Something not related to UAP disclosure, but something nonetheless that may ultimately influence his ability to see this through.

Elizondo is on the autistic spectrum. When I ask whether I can share his condition for this piece, he immediately says yes.

Comment: Well worth the entire read!
