An account posted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) on October 26 described a silver, pill-shaped UFO that appeared almost stationary as the aircraft approached. One pilot captured a photograph of the object, which he described during a follow-up interview with NUFORC investigator Ben Hansen. The encounter occurred on August 16. https://www.sott.net/article/509224-Mysterious-pill-shaped-UFO-caught-on-camera-by-pilots-over-Ohio Sat, 31 Oct 2026 20:51:57 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/509102-Roswell-UFO-witness-describes-alien-bodies-egg-shaped-craft-in-newly-released-files The Pentagon released its seventh batch of newly declassified UFO files including an eyewitness account of the 1947 Roswell suspected UFO crash describing alien bodies and an egg-shaped craft. The tranche of documents also contains a report on the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah with more than two dozen sightings of dog-like creatures, trolls, and other phenomena. The files are part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Encounters, called PURSUE. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement: "These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation - and it's time the American people see it for themselves." Among the documents was an affidavit from 2002 believed to be provided by former Roswell Air Base Public Information Officer Walter Haut. In it, Haut describes a staff meeting on July 8, 1947, where officials discussed wreckage collected from a ranch 40 miles from Roswell. https://www.sott.net/article/509102-Roswell-UFO-witness-describes-alien-bodies-egg-shaped-craft-in-newly-released-files Sun, 25 Oct 2026 20:45:21 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/509050-Latest-UFO-file-dump-reveals-mysterious-black-triangles-were-spotted-going-1800-mph-over-secret-US-military-bases Mysterious black triangle objects speeding up to 1,800 miles per hour without vapor trails were spotted over secret US military bases on at least three separate occasions over the past year, a newly declassified tranche of government files on UFOs revealed Friday. The sightings sparked national security concerns and it remains unclear if the objects were from other nations, according to redacted files on unidentified anomalous phenomena released Friday by the Trump Administration. The triangle sightings raised concerns both for the advanced technology they appeared to use and for the location — over top secret sites where the US government tests new technology. The exact location and dates of the sightings were redacted for security reasons. https://www.sott.net/article/509050-Latest-UFO-file-dump-reveals-mysterious-black-triangles-were-spotted-going-1800-mph-over-secret-US-military-bases Fri, 23 Oct 2026 19:16:03 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508876-Is-there-a-secret-UFO-arms-race-US-China-and-Russia-battle-to-unlock-mystery-tech The United States, China and Russia could be locked in a secretive new arms race involving unidentified flying objects, raising extraordinary questions about whether America's biggest adversaries are competing to unlock technology that could transform modern warfare, according to the New York Post. The possibility of a UFO arms race is drawing renewed attention as lawmakers, former intelligence officials and military veterans warn that Washington could be falling behind its geopolitical rivals in the race to understand mysterious aerial phenomena. Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) has warned that America's failure to release promised UFO information could give China and Russia a major propaganda victory, allowing the rival powers to portray themselves as more transparent than Washington. https://www.sott.net/article/508876-Is-there-a-secret-UFO-arms-race-US-China-and-Russia-battle-to-unlock-mystery-tech Tue, 13 Oct 2026 19:42:54 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508728-Remembering-Zimbabwes-great-alien-invasion-in-September-1994 Tracking down one of the Ariel School experiencers took some doing, but eventually I connected with Sarah* in what she referred to as "a most stubborn old Rhodie [white Rhodesian] bar" in downtown Harare. Of the more than 110 children and staff who had been at the school, which sits just outside the small agricultural centre of Ruwa, when the aliens landed in 1994, she thought she was probably the only one still in the country. https://www.sott.net/article/508728-Remembering-Zimbabwes-great-alien-invasion-in-September-1994 Mon, 05 Oct 2026 18:18:37 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508603-Could-aliens-be-hiding-beneath-the-ice What if we haven't found aliens because we've been looking in the wrong places? For decades, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has been confronted by a strange contradiction. The universe contains an enormous number of stars and planets, and astronomers have discovered thousands of worlds beyond our Solar System, yet we have never confirmed the existence of another technological civilization. This tension is at the heart of the Fermi paradox, the question of why, if intelligent life could be common, we have not yet found convincing evidence of it. We have searched for radio signals, examined planetary atmospheres and listened for unusual activity, but the cosmic silence continues. There are many possible explanations. Maybe intelligent life is exceptionally rare. Maybe technological civilizations don't survive for very long. Perhaps the distances between stars make communication impractical, or advanced societies simply do not use the kinds of signals we know how to... https://www.sott.net/article/508603-Could-aliens-be-hiding-beneath-the-ice Sun, 27 Sep 2026 01:30:02 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508593-Mystery-Orbs-Are-Back-Over-Cody-And-UFO-Expert-Cant-Explain-Them Every night from November to February, Jezriah Krubeck could watch from his porch as nearly two dozen mysterious lights rose from Cedar Mountain west of Cody. "Just like orbs floating up over the mountain," Krubeck said. "They would float up and move toward each other. There were quite a few that basically followed the ridge line from left to right." Then they stopped, and he thought the mysterious phenomenon might have moved on. This week, he said, they're back. "Within the last two or three nights, I'm starting to see them again," Krubeck said. https://www.sott.net/article/508593-Mystery-Orbs-Are-Back-Over-Cody-And-UFO-Expert-Cant-Explain-Them Sat, 26 Sep 2026 15:12:25 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508554-Five-days-eight-encounters-The-Bigfoot-mystery-in-Ohio For several days in March 2026, people across northeastern Ohio described encounters with unusually large figures. The story began with six cases. A later investigation added two more. It started with a strange encounter in the forests of northeastern Ohio. On its own, it might have disappeared like countless other stories of something unusual seen between the trees. But then someone else came forward. Then another person described something similar. Between March 6 and March 10, people in and around Mantua, Garrettsville, Windham and nearby parts of Portage County told investigators they had seen large, human-like figures moving through wooded terrain. Their accounts varied, but several mentioned dark hair, long arms, heavy footsteps or unexplained sounds. The Bigfoot Society began collecting the accounts and published an initial special report. (Bigfoot Society) The first version of the story involved six cases. When the investigation was reviewed in greater detail, however, the... https://www.sott.net/article/508554-Five-days-eight-encounters-The-Bigfoot-mystery-in-Ohio Thu, 24 Sep 2026 19:55:58 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508504-Google-Earth-image-captures-mysterious-figures-under-surface-of-Loch-Ness A Google Earth image captured a mysterious mass in Scotland's Loch Ness, sparking one tourist to conclude it's a "little family" of Nessies. Julie Fraser made the discovery of the three mysterious figures from space last week, and has reported the images to The Official Loch Ness Sightings Register — and is awaiting confirmation as to whether this is now the 17th "confirmed" sighting of the legendary beast made this year, the Inverness Courier reported. "I'm planning a visit to Inverness later in the year and was just playing [with Google Earth] when I spotted the three objects," she told the outlet. "Taking a closer look and enlarging the images — they don't look like boats, and look like whales or something similar with an arc to their back," she explained. https://www.sott.net/article/508504-Google-Earth-image-captures-mysterious-figures-under-surface-of-Loch-Ness Mon, 21 Sep 2026 20:31:23 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508480-Latest-UFO-file-drop-reveals-floating-orbs-zooming-at-480-mph-among-US-military US military operators observed floating orbs flying at nearly 500 miles per hour over the Middle East last year, according to the latest release Friday of declassified . A 2025 report from US Central Command (CENTCOM) details a sighting of "six small spherical objects, grouped together" and "frequently changing direction" at 480 mph. Accompanying the report was one minute of video footage showing the objects as they flew over what appeared to be a desert region. A U.S. military file drop shows reports of floating orbs observed in the Middle East last year. https://www.sott.net/article/508480-Latest-UFO-file-drop-reveals-floating-orbs-zooming-at-480-mph-among-US-military Sun, 20 Sep 2026 20:35:32 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/508479-We-are-not-alone-Coalition-of-UFO-whistleblowers-call-on-Trump-to-let-them-publicly-reveal-secrets The world's most prominent UFO whistleblowers have formed an unprecedented coalition to ask President Trump to waive their government nondisclosure agreements — which they say are preventing them from sharing what they know about extraterrestrial life with the American public. Dylan Borland, David Grusch and Matthew Brown say they accumulated the information while working in highly classified government programs and are legally barred from discussing it publicly without White House intervention. Filmmaker and disclosure advocate James Fox told The Post: "For the first time in history you have a direct public plea, not private . . . to the president of the United States, to have their NDAs waived and have them protected, so they can disclose what they know to the American population, because they feel like it's that important that everyone should be entitled to know that we're not alone.

We were also told that the United States is prepared to take an international leadership role if necessary. So, what does this mean? The government prepares for many events that may never happen, but that would have significant consequences if they did. The existence of a preparedness plan does not mean that the government has confirmed the existence of NHI, believes confirmation is imminent, or is preparing to make any type of announcement. It does mean that the possibility of confirming NHI has been taken seriously enough to warrant advance planning. That alone is significant because it means that the United States government has considered the possibility that such a confirmation could... https://www.sott.net/article/508222-The-US-government-has-a-preparedness-plan-in-case-of-NHI-disclosure Thu, 03 Sep 2026 19:34:52 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507907-100-foot-triangular-UFO-over-Colorado-base-captured-in-video-Air-Force-wont-release-sources A pair of classified videos allegedly showing a 100-foot black triangular UFO over a Colorado military base remain locked away despite President Trump's new order aimed at encouraging more UFO whistleblowers to come forward, sources familiar with the footage told The Post. Two videos, recorded on a service member's personal cellphone on consecutive nights in 2023, are among the pieces of evidence whistleblowers say still cannot be discussed or released publicly because they remain classified by the Air Force, sources said. Those videos — which captured the craft zooming over mountains and actively camouflaging in clouds — are stored with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in Colorado, file numbers IRR1669S015524 and IRR1669S005024, according to those sources.

Germany has seen a spike in UFO sighting reports, according to the Central Research Network for Extraordinary Celestial Phenomena (CENAP), the country's largest private UFO reporting and investigation network. The surge comes alongside the Pentagon's release of declassified files on phenomena believed to be potentially linked to extraterrestrial activity. According to director Hansjuergen Koehler, CENAP has never received as many reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena - the official term for UFOs - as it does now. https://www.sott.net/article/507854-Germany-logs-record-rise-in-UFO-sightings-watchdog Tue, 11 Aug 2026 12:27:09 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507844-Pentagon-releases-fifth-batch-of-declassified-UFO-records-including-unresolved-military-encounters The Pentagon released 41 additional UAP files Friday under President Donald Trump's disclosure initiative, including reports of large triangular objects, high-speed "cold orbs" and other unexplained sightings involving military and government personnel. The Pentagon released a fifth batch of declassified records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena on Friday, adding dozens of documents, images and videos to a disclosure effort ordered by President Donald Trump and revealing several unresolved encounters reported by U.S. military personnel and former government employees. The Department of War said the latest release under the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters includes previously classified material and historical records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena, the government's term for UFOs. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said additional disclosures are already being prepared.

Skinwalker Ranch, a 512-acre property in the state's northeast, has been the focus of paranormal investigations for more than three decades. Now, owner Brandon Fugal claims his team has extracted manufactured material from hundreds of feet inside the ranch's rocky mesa, including heat-resistant ceramic fragments and unusual metals. Fugal told American Alchemy podcast host Jesse Michels that drilling equipment repeatedly struck a mysterious underground object before pulling out material that did not match the surrounding landscape. 'There's something under the mesa,' Fugal declared. 'To be extracting material that is manufactured, that's engineered, from hundreds of feet within the mesa.' https://www.sott.net/article/507747-Mystery-deepens-at-Utah-paranormal-hotspot-as-buried-UFO-clues-emerge Tue, 04 Aug 2026 21:03:56 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507567-The-Architecture-of-Secrecy-MJ-12-recovered-craft-and-the-origins-of-a-UFO-Legacy-Program If you believe the documents, the architecture of the greatest secret alive today can be seen being built. It begins in the late 1940s, in the shadow of World War Two. Cities had been destroyed. The atomic bomb had changed warfare forever. The United States was constructing the CIA, the National Security Council and the permanent machinery of the modern security state. Then, according to the disputed Majestic documents, something arrived that made even the weapons of that age look primitive. The papers claim that President Harry Truman established Majestic 12, or MJ-12, following the alleged recovery of a non-human craft in 1947. Its task was supposedly to secure the wreckage, study the technology and prevent the truth from escaping a tightly controlled circle of military, intelligence and scientific officials. The implications were terrifying. The alleged visitors could evade radar, outrun the fastest aircraft and enter American airspace at will. Their intentions were unknown.... https://www.sott.net/article/507567-The-Architecture-of-Secrecy-MJ-12-recovered-craft-and-the-origins-of-a-UFO-Legacy-Program Thu, 23 Jul 2026 20:09:33 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507565-Long-hidden-UFO-information-at-center-of-Trump-push-to-free-former-officials President Donald Trump has directed federal agencies to waive prior nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) for former government employees and contractors cooperating with unidentified anomalous phenomena investigations, Fox News Digital has learned. "President Trump recently directed the Department of War and the intelligence community to allow former government employees or contractors, that have relevant information about the disclosure of UAP, to come forward to meet with designated government representatives — AARO or the President's UAP taskforce, 'PURSUE' — and have their prior NDAs abrogated," a senior administration official said, with AARO referring to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the Pentagon office established to investigate UFOs and other unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). Another senior administration official emphasized the move was not a "declassification directive" and only allowed employees to come forward through government channels. https://www.sott.net/article/507565-Long-hidden-UFO-information-at-center-of-Trump-push-to-free-former-officials Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:44:37 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507555-Unsettling-new-clues-challenge-suicide-claim-in-Los-Alamos-lab-workers-death Fresh evidence recovered from the remote New Mexico forest where Los Alamos National Laboratory administrative assistant Melissa Casias was found has blown major holes in the suicide narrative. An independent team hired by her own family discovered bones, torn and bloody clothing, orange peels, strands of what appears to be horse hair, shredded paper that may contain her handwriting, and a tobacco pouch — none of which New Mexico State Police recovered after clearing the scene. Casias, 53, vanished from her Ranchos de Taos home on June 26, 2025. She left without her purse, keys or wallet. Surveillance captured her walking alone eastward on State Road 518 around 2:20 p.m. Both her work and personal phones were found at the house, factory-reset and wiped of all data. A blood drop was also discovered inside the residence.

It's difficult to tell. Liberation Times understands from multiple sources that a presidential speech confirming that some UFOs are of non-human origin has been prepared. Whether President Donald Trump ever delivers it is anyone's guess. Presidential teams have long prepared contingency speeches and statements for events that may never occur. The existence of a draft therefore does not, by itself, mean that a final decision has been taken to deliver it. Trump is understood to have little personal interest in the subject. But this is a president deeply preoccupied with greatness and his place in history - whether through having a road named in his honour or seeking to bring Greenland under US control. Faced with an opportunity to define his presidency and secure an unparalleled legacy, ego may ultimately outweigh indifference.

Jordan Flowers, executive director of the Disclosure Foundation, made the claim during an appearance on CBS News. The Disclosure Foundation is an advocacy group focused on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or UAP. Flowers said the incident could be understood by bringing together recently released government documents and statements made publicly by members of Congress. https://www.sott.net/article/507400-US-conducted-successful-UFO-Luring-Operation-advocate-claims-as-government-files-detail-orb-encounters Mon, 13 Jul 2026 18:25:06 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507399-Key-revelations-from-4th-batch-of-Pentagon-UFO-files The Pentagon released its fourth new batch of UFO files on July 10, including a transcript from a conference that included scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project. This release of information on UFOs, which the government refers to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), has a total of 40 files, including 19 videos, 14 documents, four audio clips, and three images. The mix of partially unredacted files and historical documents is sourced from multiple agencies, including the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, NASA, and the Department of Energy. The Pentagon said it is not the last release of UFO files in relation to President Donald Trump's executive order, according to a statement from chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell. https://www.sott.net/article/507399-Key-revelations-from-4th-batch-of-Pentagon-UFO-files Mon, 13 Jul 2026 18:24:35 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507351-NASA-reveals-it-has-captured-UFO-imagery-as-space-agency-chief-admits-theres-life-everywhere NASA's chief administrator confirmed that the space agency has taken images of objects which can only be described as UFOs. Jared Isaacman, who took the helm in December, said real imagery captured from space could not be explained away as a comet or other natural phenomenon. While he stopped short of calling it proof of alien life, he was confident that the ultimate conclusion would be that the universe is full of extraterrestrial life, which humans have not yet discovered. The NASA administrator told podcast host Jack Gordon: "We have captured imagery, and this is what President Trump is very forward-leaning about, that based on the data that we have within that imagery, we don't know what it is.'

In this video, Laura delves deeply into the idea that, though demons do exist, interfere, and in some cases possess human beings, much of the harm inflicted on human beings from other levels is NOT, in fact, due to them. Laura makes the case, based on her extensive research, experience and study - that those most responsible for the vast majority of negative paranormal events are hyperdimensional aliens; the cosmic apex predator. And why so many are now attributing things to the demonic, when they should be learning about the hyperdimensional framework of malevolent alien existence. https://www.sott.net/article/507085-The-Alien-Demon-Deception-How-Humanity-Gets-Herded-Laura-Knight-Jadczyk-Interview Thu, 25 Jun 2026 20:41:29 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507064-Melissa-Casias-took-two-key-items-New-details-raise-doubts-over-Los-Alamos-lab-assistants-death Would someone intending to commit suicide really take these things with them? Fresh reporting reveals that Melissa Casias, administrative assistant at the Los Alamos nuclear lab, left home with everyday possessions that suggest she intended to survive — not end her life — raising new questions in the widening pattern of mysterious deaths among nuclear and UFO-linked personnel. Some have suggested that Casias committed suicide, yet new details about her final moments show that before walking out the door of her Ranchos de Taos home on June 26, 2025, Casias took her toothbrush and thyroid medication with her. Los Angeles Magazine contributor Lauren Conlin, who has followed the case closely, told NewsNation that these are "things that might indicate you're planning to stay alive." https://www.sott.net/article/507064-Melissa-Casias-took-two-key-items-New-details-raise-doubts-over-Los-Alamos-lab-assistants-death Wed, 24 Jun 2026 20:46:02 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/507037-US-government-establishes-new-interagency-UAP-Governance-Board-to-coordinate-investigations-and-declassification The U.S. government has established a new interagency body to coordinate UAP investigations, improve the collection and analysis of relevant data, and assist with the declassification of UAP-related information, according to an official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The official from the ODNI told Liberation Times: 'To support the President's directive on UAP transparency, ODNI — alongside FBI and DOW [Department of War] — established a UAP Governance Board to provide guidance, recommendations and coordination at the interagency level, bringing together military, law enforcement, the Intelligence Community, and other civilian agencies.'

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. https://www.sott.net/article/507015-UAP-forum-will-let-public-hear-from-lawmakers-whistleblowers-on-disclosure Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:35:05 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506946-Newly-released-UFO-files-allege-China-Russia-retrieved-downed-UAPs-and-attempted-to-reverse-engineer-them-expert 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." https://www.sott.net/article/506946-Newly-released-UFO-files-allege-China-Russia-retrieved-downed-UAPs-and-attempted-to-reverse-engineer-them-expert Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:40:38 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506891-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. 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... https://www.sott.net/article/506891-Area-51-Secrets-US-government-acknowledgment-fuels-conspiracy-theories-and-UFO-speculations Mon, 15 Jun 2026 08:46:36 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506879-Discs-orbs-heavenly-phenomena-more-revealed-in-3rd-batch-of-declassified-UFO-files 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: https://www.sott.net/article/506879-Discs-orbs-heavenly-phenomena-more-revealed-in-3rd-batch-of-declassified-UFO-files Sun, 14 Jun 2026 19:15:09 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506862-Trump-releases-THIRD-tranche-of-UFO-files-revealing-shape-shifting-orbs-over-the-US-and-CIA-reports-hidden-for-decades 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. https://www.sott.net/article/506862-Trump-releases-THIRD-tranche-of-UFO-files-revealing-shape-shifting-orbs-over-the-US-and-CIA-reports-hidden-for-decades Fri, 12 Jun 2026 20:47:03 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506861-UFO-over-Zimbabwe-in-summer-2008-had-CIA-on-high-alert-new-files-reveal 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." https://www.sott.net/article/506861-UFO-over-Zimbabwe-in-summer-2008-had-CIA-on-high-alert-new-files-reveal Fri, 12 Jun 2026 20:21:19 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506833-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... https://www.sott.net/article/506833-An-invisible-Atlantic-boundary-where-UFO-reporting-changes Thu, 11 Jun 2026 19:39:06 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506813-Lawmakers-urge-Trump-to-grant-immunity-to-UFO-crash-retrieval-operatives-as-whistleblower-repeats-non-human-body-claims 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.

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.' https://www.sott.net/article/506810-UFO-whistleblowers-storm-Capitol-Hill-with-explosive-claims-about-alien-life Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:37:57 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506697-Lue-Elizondo-Theres-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... https://www.sott.net/article/506697-Lue-Elizondo-Theres-No-Going-Back-on-UFO-Disclosure Thu, 04 Jun 2026 20:08:12 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506660-Remains-found-in-New-Mexico-national-forest-ID-d-as-those-of-Melissa-Casias-Los-Alamos-employee-who-vanished-last-year Casias, 53, had been missing for nearly a year after she didn't show up for work at Los Alamos National Laboratory. A gun was found near the remains, authorities said. Human remains found by a hiker last week in a New Mexico national forest are those of a Los Alamos National Laboratory employee who had been missing for nearly a year, authorities said. The discovery in the McGaffey Ridge area of Carson National Forest was reported Thursday, and the New Mexico Medical Investigator's Office identified the remains as those of Melissa Casias, authorities said. "Investigators also learned that a handgun was located alongside the remains," New Mexico State Police said in a statement Saturday. The Medical Investigator's Office is likely to determine the cause and manner of death, police said. https://www.sott.net/article/506660-Remains-found-in-New-Mexico-national-forest-ID-d-as-those-of-Melissa-Casias-Los-Alamos-employee-who-vanished-last-year Mon, 01 Jun 2026 22:01:34 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506651-Trump-the-Vatican-and-the-market-shock-Inside-the-growing-disclosure-debate Following recent reporting that White House and defense officials have sought advice on how to prepare the public for a possible announcement regarding UFOs and non-human intelligence, Liberation Times has spoken to additional sources who believe the consequences of such a moment would extend far beyond Washington. Those sources say any disclosure process would have to consider not only public reaction, but also religious institutions, financial markets, allied governments and America's strategic position in the world. The latest release of UFO files may therefore be significant not simply because of what the videos show, but because of what they may signal: a possible effort to prepare the public for a far larger announcement. In a recent Daily Mail article, investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell said officials from the White House and Department of Defense had sought his advice on communications strategy and terminology ahead of a possible announcement concerning UAP reality and... https://www.sott.net/article/506651-Trump-the-Vatican-and-the-market-shock-Inside-the-growing-disclosure-debate Mon, 01 Jun 2026 19:31:05 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506641-NASA-boss-reveals-unsettling-reality-behind-newly-released-UFO-files Released files include infrared footage, Apollo-era astronaut accounts and military pilot testimony from combat zones NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the Trump administration's newly declassified UAP files are exposing years of strange aerial sightings that government agencies failed to seriously dig into — even if the records do not point to recovered alien remains or ships. "What's being surfaced isn't crashed ships or alien bodies, but real unexplained phenomena," Isaacman told Fox News Digital in an interview Friday. The disclosures come after the Trump administration released two waves of declassified UAP files as part of a broader transparency effort directing agencies to search internal databases for decades-old reports involving unexplained aerial activity after years of public skepticism surrounding government secrecy and UFO investigations. Officials say additional file releases from agencies including the CIA could soon follow. https://www.sott.net/article/506641-NASA-boss-reveals-unsettling-reality-behind-newly-released-UFO-files Sun, 31 May 2026 23:31:09 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506593-Push-for-UAP-UFO-transparency-intensifies-as-members-of-Congress-and-whistleblowers-call-for-release-of-groundbreaking-conclusive-files Amid surging global interest, an unprecedented gathering of senior government officials and civilians will make a direct plea to the President to declassify specific files and for Congress to pass disclosure-related legislation As a defining moment in the escalating effort for full disclosure on UAPs, a bipartisan group of high level officials and civilians will convene on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, June 9 @ 1:00 pm to issue a call to action on behalf of the American people. UAP whistleblower David Grusch, a highly credentialed former intelligence officer who has testified under oath before Congress, will discuss specific UAP and non-human intelligence-related evidence he encountered in deeply classified channels. Grusch will explain why these records should now be reviewed and publicly released consistent with legitimate national security protections.

The MITRE Corporation confirmed that insiders are reviewing its archives to comply with a recent production request from Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., who pressed the not-for-profit organization for dozens of assets that would reveal whether it currently has or previously possessed information on unidentified anomalous phenomena and associated unexplained technologies. Dated May 22 and obtained by DefenseScoop Wednesday, the 10-page correspondence reflects concerns raised by whistleblowers alleging that the Pentagon and defense contractors are deliberately concealing sensitive UAP materials in private networks to bypass congressional and public oversight.

Gen. William Neil McCasland had a dinner meeting with US Space Force members the night before his unexplained disappearance, deepening concerns over experts tied to sensitive programs. McCasland, central to advanced aerospace and nuclear research, walked out of his Albuquerque home on February 27, 2026, leaving behind his phone, prescription glasses, and wearable tracking devices. He took his wallet, a .38-caliber revolver with holster, and a red backpack. Despite extensive searches in the rugged Sandia Mountains foothills with FBI assistance, no trace has been found, and a Silver Alert remains active. The newly surfaced video obtained by the Law&Crime Network captures officers interviewing a witness who dined with McCasland the night prior. The woman, connected through the Kirtland Partnership nonprofit, described a dinner meeting involving McCasland and US Space Force members around 6pm in Albuquerque. https://www.sott.net/article/506567-UFO-linked-Air-Force-general-met-shadowy-Pentagon-unit-hours-before-vanishing Wed, 27 May 2026 21:04:09 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506566-Latest-UFO-video-drop-solicits-baffled-explanations-ranging-from-angels-and-demons-to-jetpacks-and-balloons Bizarre videos from President Trump's latest batch of UFO disclosure files led to a host of speculation about the phenomenon's origins — with some insisting they're proof of biblical legends, while others dismissed them as little more than balloons or lens flares. Comments flooded social media comparing the wacky videos to angels and demons after they were released Friday, and some online posters claimed they were winged creatures and fiery wheels that appeared in the likes of the Book of Ezekiel. Among the most intriguing videos was one filmed over a body of water in June 2020, which captured a shapeshifting blob apparently hovering near a US military installation. https://www.sott.net/article/506566-Latest-UFO-video-drop-solicits-baffled-explanations-ranging-from-angels-and-demons-to-jetpacks-and-balloons Wed, 27 May 2026 20:42:50 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506548-CIA-accused-of-searching-Ancestry-and-23andMe-data-bases-to-hunt-down-alien-bloodlines-in-millions-of-DNA-tests The CIA has been accused of gaining secret access to the DNA information of millions of people as the intelligence agency allegedly searches for alien life on Earth. Jason Reza Jorjani, a philosophy PhD and science fiction writer, recently claimed that he spoke with a retired US Army sergeant who served as a 'psychic spy' and knew of the government's secret program to hunt down individuals with extraterrestrial DNA. Jorjani said on the American Alchemy podcast that the CIA, the nation's premier foreign intelligence agency, has a backdoor program that allows it to search through genetic testing companies such as 23andMe and Ancestry.com. According to the author, the purpose is to look for individuals who have DNA ancestry tied to a race of aliens known as the Nordics, who allegedly look like extremely tall humans from Scandinavia, with blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin. https://www.sott.net/article/506548-CIA-accused-of-searching-Ancestry-and-23andMe-data-bases-to-hunt-down-alien-bloodlines-in-millions-of-DNA-tests Tue, 26 May 2026 19:34:24 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506501-Joe-Rogan-Discusses-Aliens-Abducting-Americans-in-National-Parks Joe Rogan has revisited theories about mysterious disappearances in U.S. national parks — including the possibility of alien abductions — during a wide-ranging conversation about unsolved missing persons cases and UFO encounters. During an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, author and investigator David Paulides claimed the National Park Service had blocked some of his efforts to obtain records tied to disappearances in remote wilderness areas. Paulides also discussed several cases he believes remain unexplained — including the disappearance of 14-year-old Stacy Arras in Yosemite National Park more than four decades ago. https://www.sott.net/article/506501-Joe-Rogan-Discusses-Aliens-Abducting-Americans-in-National-Parks Sun, 24 May 2026 17:17:31 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506490-Highlights-From-2nd-Batch-Of-Declassified-UFO-Files-Include-A-UAP-Shootdown The Pentagon's second batch of declassified UFO files released on May 22 includes videos such as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) being shot down over the Great Lakes and audio of astronauts witnessing a series of unexplained phenomena. ​Dozens of documents were cleared for release on Friday, adding to the previous document dump on May 8, which revealed that Apollo 11 astronauts reported seeing a "sizable" object near the moon. ​The Epoch Times' Jacki Thrapp offers the following highlights from a partial review of the newly released files. https://www.sott.net/article/506490-Highlights-From-2nd-Batch-Of-Declassified-UFO-Files-Include-A-UAP-Shootdown Sat, 23 May 2026 17:49:01 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506441-World-shaking-UFO-files-release-imminent-as-insider-Jeremy-Corbell-hints-at-much-bigger-secrets-in-next-disclosure-drop Americans are waiting with bated breath for the next wave of UFO files after officials promised the release will be 'very soon.' Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced Monday on X that the materials are currently 'actively being processed' for publication. While details about the imminent disclosure dump remain secret, investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told the Daily Mail it could include 46 classified UFO videos requested by lawmakers earlier this year. 'There is something much bigger coming,' he said. Corbell claimed he personally provided officials with access to the videos via what he described as classified 'intel links' linked to hidden government servers, after unknown sources leaked the clips to him. 'Not just file names. If you put the underscores in, they're linked,' Corbell said, claiming the material led directly to classified systems that 'you and I can't access.' https://www.sott.net/article/506441-World-shaking-UFO-files-release-imminent-as-insider-Jeremy-Corbell-hints-at-much-bigger-secrets-in-next-disclosure-drop Thu, 21 May 2026 00:41:18 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506401-Eight-never-before-seen-UFO-videos-at-center-of-explosive-disclosure-battle-detailed-by-insider A battle over UFO transparency has erupted in Washington as 'certain intelligence agencies' have been accused of withholding evidence from the American public. Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told the Daily Mail there is a 'bottleneck' inside US Central Command where footage of unidentified flying objects is being blocked from reaching officials seeking access to it. Corbell said some members of Congress are now 'dead set' on forcing the release of the material 'come hell or high water,' with some lawmakers prepared to escalate the fight if agencies continue withholding records. The growing disclosure battle has now centered on 46 classified military UFO videos that lawmakers recently demanded from the Department of War last month, which have yet to be released. Eight of those highly anticipated clips appear in Corbell's documentary Sleeping Dog, where viewers are shown brief glimpses of what he described as unresolved UFO encounters collected by the US military. https://www.sott.net/article/506401-Eight-never-before-seen-UFO-videos-at-center-of-explosive-disclosure-battle-detailed-by-insider Tue, 19 May 2026 15:33:24 +0000 https://www.sott.net/article/506378-Ex-government-researcher-claims-4-alien-species-have-been-pulled-from-crashed-UFOs The US has recovered four distinct species of extraterrestrial life from crashed UFOs, a former CIA-funded government researcher sensationally claimed this week. Dr. Hal Puthoff, former Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program advisor and CIA-funded researcher, made the claim alongside Age of Disclosure director Dan Farrah on Steve Bartlett's The Diary of a CEO podcast on Thursday. "People who have been involved in recoveries have said there are at least four types. Four separate types," the 89-year-old said. "Now I have not had direct access to that but I believe the people who I talked to — four separate types of life." The Stanford-trained quantum physicist did not detail the supposed alien species — but his longtime collaborator and former AAWSAP colleague Dr. Eric Davis claimed last year that Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians are the names of the biological lifeforms pulled from the wreckage of downed or crashed UFOs. https://www.sott.net/article/506378-Ex-government-researcher-claims-4-alien-species-have-been-pulled-from-crashed-UFOs Sun, 17 May 2026 21:31:09 +0000
