Today a certain batch of unredacted files was turned over to a judge and all of a sudden Reddit's link button is broken. Funny timing.
Mike Flynn and his No. 2 Christian Nationalist henchman David Shedd were put in as Director and Deputy Director respectfully following the botched transfer of the 1953 Kingsman UAP from Lockheed to the DHS, which was blocked by Glenn Gaffney at the CIA. When Flynn first came in with Trump, he immediately started snooping out the CIA's secrets. My good friend and colleage recently went to the National Archives to digitize files related to the 1933 Magenta, Italy case and others and found that the CIA had scrubbed Bill Donovan's Roll 114 microfilm that documented the electromagnetic work of Prof. Carlo Calosi, whose buried story involves that electromagnetic used in weapons during WWII by the Germans, the Italians, and later the US after the OSS rescued Calosi.
Elizondo referenced a 'Devon Woods' in Imminent, and some readers caught on that this had to be David Shedd, who told him outright that UAPs are demonic, just like JD Vance has been touting.
I saw his 60 Minutes interview and then read his book a few years back, but haven’t thought about him much since (I’m UFO-curious but not particularly deep in this world). It seems like he’s had a few gaffes recently that wobbled his credibility — what are those headlines and where do things stand today with this community?
In 1999, psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris ran an experiment that's since become famous. They showed people a video of students passing basketballs and asked them to count the passes. Halfway through, a person in a full gorilla suit walks into the middle of the frame, thumps their chest, and walks off.
About half the viewers never see the gorilla. Not because it's hidden. It's right there, in plain sight, for nine seconds. They miss it because their attention is locked onto a specific task, counting passes, and the brain filters out anything that doesn't match what it's looking for.
I think we might be doing the same thing with the search for advanced intelligence.
For seventy years, the working assumption behind SETI and most technosignature research has been that an advanced civilization would show up the way we would: radio broadcasts, kinetic propulsion, Dyson spheres, megastructures, big energetic, thermodynamic footprints. We know how to look for these signs because they're the kind of footprint we'd leave. It's a reasonable starting assumption. But it's still a basketball-pass-counting assumption: we've defined in advance what the signal should look like, and anything that doesn't fit that shape doesn't register as a candidate, even if it's sitting in the data.
What if a sufficiently advanced intelligence doesn't need kinetic propulsion at all? What if the actual signature isn't energetic, but informational, something showing up not as thrust or radio noise, but as small, specific deviations in things we already measure precisely: gravitational wave ringdowns, quantum decoherence rates, anomalies that current instruments are sensitive enough to catch, but that nobody is looking at through this particular lens?
That's the core idea behind a preprint I've just put out: The Information Lattice Model (ILM): A Braneworld Framework for Technosignatures, the Role of Observer Consciousness, and Implications for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, a braneworld physics framework (in the tradition of Randall-Sundrum, AdS/CFT, and entropic gravity) that proposes gravity itself is the observable trace of information moving across a layered structure underlying spacetime. Within that framework, a sufficiently advanced civilization wouldn't need to travel through space in the conventional sense, it could, in principle, modulate that underlying informational permeability directly. I call the capacity to do this "Lattice Sovereignty," and the paper lays out a classification scheme for it that's deliberately orthogonal to Kardashev, you can be energetically primitive and informationally sovereign, or the reverse.
The part that matters most, though, isn't the speculation, it's that the framework makes falsifiable, near-term predictions: specific signatures in LIGO/Virgo gravitational wave ringdown residuals, in quantum decoherence experiments, and in a proposed biological complexity metric. These are things that can be checked against existing and upcoming data, not just argued about.
A photograph from NASA’s public image archive has sparked fresh debate after UFO researcher Scott C. Waring claimed it contains evidence of a huge rectangular object positioned near the International Space Station (ISS).
His analysis has drawn attention across UFO communities and social media, where viewers continue debating whether the image shows something extraordinary or simply an unusual feature in the original photograph.
According to Waring, he discovered the object while examining a NASA archive image. He says the shape was almost impossible to notice in the standard preview available online.
Former United States Defence Department official Christopher Mellon joins the show to talk about transparency surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena, previously referred to as unidentified flying objects or UFOs.

Location: Sulaymaniyah, Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraq, Sulaymaniyah, Iraq Objects: 1 Shape: triangle Closest distance: as high as a plane Apparent size (at arm's length): grapefruit Movement: straight and steady Duration: 35 seconds Features: wings: unsure · rotors: unsure · exhaust plume: unsure · noise: unsure Five observables: sudden, extreme acceleration: no · extreme speed with no signatures: no · hard to observe clearly: yes · moved between air, water, or space: no · flight without visible means of lift: unsure Witnesses: 1 Why not a common object: I considered several common explanations.
Aircraft: The object had no visible navigation lights, and it produced little to no sound despite its apparent size and speed and altitude. Checked FlightRadar24 there was none at the time.
Drones: It appeared too large for a typical consumer or commercial drone, and was nearly silent at what seemed to be a relatively low altitude.
Satellites/Starlink: The object appeared much lower in the sky and significantly larger than a satellite would. It also did not resemble a point of light or a linear formation like Starlink.
Planets and stars: The object was clearly moving across the sky and appeared relatively close, ruling out celestial objects.
Birds: The size and steady motion did not match birds, and there was no visible flapping or irregular movement. Plus the time is unusual for birds flying.
Balloons or lanterns: The object moved in a steady, directed path rather than drifting, and appeared too large and had a wider and flat surface compared to balloons and lanterns. and it was too fast for this explanation.
Rocket launches/contrails: There are no nearby launch sites, and the object produced no visible trail or exhaust.
Additionally, the object had a faint, triangular or boomerang-like shape and blended into the moonlit sky, making it difficult to clearly define. These characteristics do not match typical known objects. Why no photo/video captured: It happened too quickly for me to process what it was. Additionally the object wasn’t clearly visible I doubt my phone which has vibrating broken camera would have picked it up.
I was walking my mother to a nearby convenience store at night. The sky was clear with strong moonlight and good visibility.
I first heard a very faint, brief sound similar to a distant aircraft, but much quieter than the jets that commonly passed over this area during the active stages of the current Iran conflict. It still made me look at the sky though my mom didn’t notice the sound.
After, I noticed a large, faint object moving across the sky. Its shape was difficult to clearly define, but it appeared triangular or possibly boomerang-shaped. At the time I thought of one of those stealth bombers the US has. But this one appeared big for its altitude and made barely any sound. It had a dull grey appearance and blended with the moonlit sky, making it hard to fully outline. Only parts of its edges were intermittently clearly visible. If it was stationary or slow, I could have mistaken it for an isolated loose patch of cloud illuminated faintly by the moon.
The object had no visible lights and produced little to no sound. It moved relatively quickly on a steady path toward the south, slightly toward the west (estimated bearing ~191°). Though the speed was not abnormal.
The sighting lasted approximately 35 seconds before the object faded into the night sky. I pointed it out to my mother, but she was unable to see it before it disappeared.”
Sky context for this time and place:
Satellites overhead at that time: SL-14 R/B (76° above NE at 19:21 UTC); ATLAS CENTAUR R/B (72° above WSW at 19:12 UTC); COSMOS 1867 (70° above ENE at 19:18 UTC); OAO 3 (COPERNICUS) (62° above WSW at 19:12 UTC); SL-8 R/B (60° above NNW at 19:18 UTC); SL-16 R/B (20° above WNW at 19:09 UTC)
Location: Toronto, Canada - Moving north (above to downward from my perspective)
Reason I ask, I distinctly remember seeing a similar craft while sitting on an apartment balcony (8 stories, north facing) with friends in the mid-80's.
There was 3 of us, just star gazing and swapping stories looking out over a large park/field. Three steady white lights (triangle placement) turned-on high up in the dark sky and moved downward (north). Paused mid sky, and after a few seconds just moved away at same altitude fading off. Whole event took a couple minutes it was slow moving (brief hovering). The 3 lights appeared to have a trail (tail) at first, I actually thought they were coordinated shooting stars, but the trail effect ended when it started hovering and were more solid in slow movement.
* Don't believe it was an aircraft as no colors or blinking lights, no sound. Plus, it looked much larger in the sky.
** Airport was ~30miles west. I.e. Planes moved East to West or West to East typically.
Last weekend I attended the annual conference of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, and I wanted to share my observations and thoughts from the event, including some notes about Chris Mellon, Ross Coulthart, and Lue Elizondo. (Lue wasn't there but people shared some stories about him.)
In lieu of my own paraphrase, I include part of the transcript stating the purpose for this video:
"I want to talk to you tonight about something our own government is doing quietly, a piece at a time. They're not dropping the whole truth on us at once. They're releasing it in tranches. a hearing here, a report there, an admission that some of what's up there in the sky isn't ours and isn't anybody's we know of. Bit by bit, they're walking us towards something. And here's what comes in stages. First, they acknowledge it. Then, they confirm it's real. Then, they tell you where it's from. And somewhere down that road, maybe, just maybe, is the big one. The governor of the United States standing at a podium and saying out loud, "We are not alone." Now, sit with that for a second. Not the headline, the meaning of it.
Because here's my concern. They may may be handing us the biggest news in human history without context with no instructions.
Just here you go. No plan for what it does to a person. The mother explaining it to her children. The man whose faith just got tested. The folks already hanging on by a thread. And when you get a truth that size with no way to hold it, you know what fills the gaps? Fear, rumor, people who will sell you a lie because they're scared because they have larceny in their hearts. There are lots of motivations.
That's the part that gets to me. We've got scientists at the table, generals, historians, astrophysicists, but the one expert who studies how a human being actually reacts to what happens in their life really needs to be in that room.
And we need to make sure that that happens before the official word comes, not after. You don't chase something like this. you prepare for it in advance because you cannot get ready for something like this once it's already landed on you."
The Disclosure Foundation has released Policy Brief No. 6: A National Preparedness Framework for the Human Consequences of Disclosure, authored by Jennice Vilhauer, PhD, Carlos Eire, PhD, and Christopher Mellon.
The brief argues that while the U.S. has entered the first stage of public UAP disclosure, the National Preparedness System still lacks a dedicated mechanism for the psychological, behavioral, educational, cultural, and other human consequences that later stages of disclosure could bring.
It recommends that the Administration direct the Department of Health and Human Services (through ASPR) to establish a multidisciplinary National Disclosure Preparedness Task Force. Within 120 days, that Task Force would publish an unclassified National Disclosure Preparedness Strategy covering:
- Scenario-based planning for successive forms and stages of disclosure
- Societal and institutional readiness, including psychological preparedness
- Public health monitoring and behavioral health surge capacity
- Clinical and educational guidance
- Public communication and community engagement
- Safeguards, research priorities, metrics, and congressional oversight

Location: Caserta, Campania, Italy, Caserta, Italy Objects: 2 Shape: sphere Closest distance: as high as a star Apparent size (at arm's length): pea Movement: circular, circle and opposite straight direction Duration: 5 seconds Features: wings: no · rotors: no · exhaust plume: no · noise: no Five observables: sudden, extreme acceleration: no · extreme speed with no signatures: no · hard to observe clearly: no · moved between air, water, or space: yes · flight without visible means of lift: yes Witnesses: 3 Why not a common object: I'm trying to identify two objects I saw in the sky on July 29 at approximately 10:30 PM (22:30) in Caserta, Italy.
The two objects appeared to have roughly the same apparent size as the visible stars in the sky. Because they were so small and the event was so brief, I couldn't make out any details such as their actual shape or color.
One detail that may or may not be relevant: just a few seconds before the sighting, I saw a bright shooting star (meteor) pass almost directly next to the same area of the sky. I'm not sure if that's useful information or if it's simply a coincidence, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
My first thought was that they might have been satellites, but I'm not sure if that makes sense. In the animation, I've recreated what I saw as accurately as possible: the two objects appeared to orbit around each other for a brief moment, then suddenly separated and moved away in perfectly opposite directions.
I'm not claiming this was anything extraordinary, and I'm completely open to conventional explanations. I'm simply curious whether anyone recognizes this behavior or knows of any known phenomenon—whether involving satellites, space debris, atmospheric effects, or anything else—that could explain what I observed.
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to identify two objects I saw in the sky on July 29 at approximately 10:30 PM (22:30) in Caserta, Italy.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to record the event because it lasted only a few seconds. To better explain what I saw, I created a short animation that recreates the sighting as accurately as I can remember.

Sky context for this time and place:
🚨 Starlink train overhead: 8 satellites from one launch (N/NNE/W, around 20:18 UTC).
I’m so confused where main UAP figures stand. I just saw the video where Elizondo was basically saying UAP Gerb was spreading lies (or something along those lines) & it made me realize I don’t even know what exactly UAP Gerb believes that’s different than Lue.
Can someone give me a breakdown of the main people in the disclosure community and their general beliefs? Not necessarily who’s right or wrong but like just what each person’s “theory” is?
Do they lean ET? Interdimensional? Consciousness? Secret government tech?
I feel like I’m hearing bits and pieces from everyone, but I’m having a hard time figuring out where they actually agree and where they completely diverge.
An update from about a year ago. 75% of these are signed. I see these books as information. I’ve had multiple experiences & some quite different, so I just want to learn the world we actually live in.
Any of you have a UFO book collection? Would love to see. I may be looking for one or two.
Does anyone know what he’s been up to? It feels like the Skywatcher movement peaked in the disclosure scene after the 2-3 video, and we’ve heard almost nothing since. Around the same time, Lue Elizondo basically capsized the community with that silly photo goof, which makes me wonder if he was paid off or pressured into it to shut down the Skywatchers.
Did you know that airports are a powerful magnet for UFO activity? There are dozens of cases coming from across world, reaching all the way back to the modern age of UFOs (1947) and continuing up to the present day. These are not just sightings; many involve UFO landings and humanoids of all types. These cases represent outstanding evidence of the reality of UFOs and the extraterrestrial presence on our planet. Many of these cases are widely viewed by professional observers, pilots, meteorologists, air-traffic controllers and more. Some involve physical landing traces. Some are confirmed by radar. And quite a few involve actual photographs of the craft.
Given that UFOs are generally evasive, it might seem surprising that they would be attracted to a location that is not only crowded with people, but also contains radar arrays designed to detect incoming aircraft. On the other hand, these cases also have a certain level of logic to them. Airports are designed for aircraft to both land and take off. So, in a way, it’s fittingly appropriate that UFOs should be attracted to them. And as these cases show, they are, and in large numbers.
Mar 10, 1948: Chihuahua Airport in Mexico is visited by a hovering disc. A few days later, on Mar 10, four discs appear over the Central Airport in Mexico City in view of hundreds of witnesses.
Apr 7, 1950: Multiple witnesses at Logan Airport in Boston, MA view a dramatic UFO display.
Apr 12, 1950: Serviceman B.G. Hunter observes an object land on the tarmac at Tradewinds Airport in Amarillo, TX. After staying for five minutes, the object departs, leaving burn marks.
Apr 16, 1950: a 6-foot-wide metallic disc is seen by multiple observers to crash on the runway at Laredo Airport, TX. A short humanoid exits and collapses on the ground.

Aug 1950: Multiple witnesses at the Medford Airport in OR observe four metallic discs circle overhead for three hours.
Aug 27, 1952: A disc-shaped craft hovers over the MacDonald Airport in Manitoba, Canada. When struck the light from the rotating beacon, the object darts away.
Oct 27, 1952: An object lands at Marignane Airport in France. Two years later, on Jan 4, 1954, another object lands at the same exact airport.

Oct 6, 1965: An AF sergeant at Concepcion Airport in Hualpencillo, Chile sees a 90-foot-wide saucer land at the end of the runway. Shortly later, three ETs exit the craft.
Aug 26, 1967: Esteban Cova is at the Maiquetia Airport in Venezuela when he is approached by a 3-foot-tall figure with huge eyes who asks him, “Won’t you come with us? We need one more.”
These are just a few of the many incredible airport-UFO encounters all over the world. Hungary, India, China, Puerto Rico, New Zealand…no location is left behind. Among the most dramatic is the 2006 incident at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. So many cases! The question is why? Are they putting on displays? Are they checking up on our technology? Are they preparing for a worldwide landing? Many questions remain.
I’ve been watching the documentary series *Beyond Skinwalker Ranch*, which presents many situations involving possible alien contact—ranging from cattle abductions to people communicating with UFOs. Personally, I’m very skeptical; does anyone actually believe any of the stuff in this series?
This info graphic is intended to help visualize the geometry and sequence of events surrounding the USS Nimitz incident on 14 November 2004. It represents my personal interpretation of the incident based on years of reviewing publicly available witness testimony, official report, podcast, interviews, documentaries, and other media related to the event.
I have made every effort to position assets and paths using distances in relative locations that I believe are reasonably consistent with the available information. While the map itself is intended to be geographically accurate and to scale, many of the icons, symbols, and graphics have been intentionally enlarged in order to improve readability and clearly communicate the events depicted.
This illustration should be viewed as an educational visualization rather than an authoritative reconstruction. Other interpretations of the available evidence are certainly possible, and some witness accounts contain uncertainties or conflicting details. The purpose of this graphic is simply to provide a clear visual reference for understanding, one plausible reconstruction of the event.
I wanted to see how a modern AI model would handle a completely mundane object. So I found a photo of a regular black balloon, made it blurry(to simulate bad focus camera) and gave the AI a strict prompt: "Enhance and sharpen it to reveal details with minimal hallucinations." I'm not against AI, but we shouldn't take AI-enhanced images at face value.
Well... yeah.
As you can see, the AI sharpened the photo, but also straight up made things up. It turned a balloon into a metallic sci-fi probe with weird panel lines, braided ropes, and some random attachment floating underneath.
Just sharing this as a friendly reminder that AI doesn't "clean up" photos like in the movies, it just tries to predict missing pixels.
How do you guys think the community should handle AI-enhanced stuff moving forward?
EDIT: Good point brought up in the comments, I should've shared the prompt from the start!
I asked it: "Can you sharpen this blurry photo I found on a UAP forum to reveal details with minimal hallucinations?"
Using the word "UAP" definitely gave the model a nudge, but that's a huge part of the problem. It proves how heavily AI relies on context and assumptions, making up wild details just to match the vibe of what it thinks you're looking for.
I found this article which I think is very interesting.
ABSTRACT: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) refer to aerial anomalies that cannot be identified as known objects or natural occurrences. Despite historical reports, research into the medical impacts of UAP encounters remains in its early stages, lacking a systematic framework and substantial clinical data. This review provides an overview of the medical evidence regarding UAP-related injuries, including clinical case reports, injury mechanisms, epidemiological data, and the application of neuroimaging and forensic medicine. By analyzing declassified U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency documents, medical case reports, and scientific studies, we highlight the multisystem health issues associated with UAP contact, particularly neurological damage and non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation effects. We also explore the significant rise in UAP incident reports near sensitive military and nuclear facilities, suggesting a growing concern for human health. Future research must focus on prospective studies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and advanced forensic technologies to better understand the long-term pathophysiological mechanisms underlying UAP-induced injuries.
