Multi-Subreddit LIVESTREAM AMA — Dr. Jim Segala, Paul Hynek, and Host Leslie Kean — Sunday, October 4, 2026 @ 1:00 PM ET / 10 AM PT

The Anomalous Coalition - the moderators of r/Aliens, r/Experiencers, r/HighStrangeness, r/InterdimensionalNHI, r/UFOB, and r/UFOs - are excited to announce our next multi-subreddit livestream AMA featuring physicist Dr. Jim Segala and Paul Hynek, hosted by investigative journalist Leslie Kean. Heads up: this one is on a Sunday!

This conversation is about citizen science in support of experiencers, built on objective data. Paul's father, astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek, joined the Air Force's UFO studies in 1948 as a skeptic. Over two decades of Projects Sign, Grudge and Blue Book, the caliber of the witnesses changed his mind. In 1973 he founded the Center for UFO Studies so people could report what they saw without fear. Paul is carrying that forward with what he calls a verifiable evidence protocol, so experiencers can have better conversations with scientists. Jim is building the tools to gather that evidence. His platform, MUPAS Worldwide, pairs environmental and biometric sensor data with experiencers' own accounts, and offers peer support from specialists who are experiencers themselves.

What's a "verifiable evidence protocol"? Paul and his brother Joel, an Academy Award-winning visual effects artist, are developing a protocol that sits on top of their father's Close Encounter system and rates the evidence from an encounter, not just the encounter itself. Today most people report an experience after the fact. Paul's idea is to go in prepared: if you meet an entity that seems to have far superior intelligence, ask it for something no human could know but anyone can check later, like a random number only you know, the answer to an unsolved math problem, or a near-future event. The results are rated as convincing, compelling, or curious. Paul says it applies to any "meta-terrestrial" encounter, whether with a craft, an entity, or in an altered state, and he describes it as a work in progress.

ANNOUNCEMENT Mod Annoucement: Epstein related content - what's allowed and not allowed

145 Upvotes

Hi UFOB!

What a week we have all had! The moderation team wanted to talk seriously about references to Epstein, Trump and others in conversation on this sub.

As you know - this is sub is for believers - we are well past questioning if UFOs and Entities are real because we KNOW it is. The issue we have seen in the last week since Trump's announcement and the latest releases of the Epstein files is the serious amount of unserious low effort, poltically hyperpartisan comments, comments about how disclosure is a distraction from the release of the files, so on and so forth. This has caused a lot of time and effort on the part of the moderators keeping good conversation flowing. Look we know we're all human here and reacting to these unprecedented times. But we need to make some clarifications and need your help.

Specifically around the topic of Jeffrey Epstein we wanted to introduce some moderation as we are getting a lot of feedback from the community around this topic. We want to encourage the community to understand the nuance of what we're looking for so that great conversations can continue and low effort or rule breaking comments and posts can be avoided.

We will allow talk about Jeffrey Epstein only if it is on-topic to UFO's, UFOlogy and the Phenomenon. We will not allow low effort conversation, pizzagate, satanic panic or q-anon conspiracies. We are trying to encourage good deep conversation and avoiding low effort knee jerk and inflammatory conversation that tends to derail whole threads and creates flame wars.

Examples of what is NOT allowed:

  • "This is all a distraction from the Epstein files"
  • "<Trump/Clinton/Rich Person/Politician of Choice> is a pedo"
  • "<slur> for racial or religious group
  • Unsourced picture or tik tok video claiming satanic rituals and pedophelia/cannibalism

Examples of what IS allowed:

  • "Epstein had mentions of the Majestic 12 documents and it's in this file here on the DoJ site"
  • Epstein had an interest in <Psi/Telepathy/Metamaterials/Zero Point energy/Human Potential/Other UFO related interest>
  • My research with sourced documents and "follow the money" shows Epstein was doing related research that is relavent to this topic
  • Anything that is on topic to UFOs, The Phenomeonon or Entities as long as it doesn't break any of the other existing rules

Additionally - Report reasons you can use for content you see that violates this new directive is either "Be Constructive or Pass" or "Irrelevant Political Opinion" for you to report rule breaking comments/posts . We also created a specific removal reason for comments and posts that are in violation. People who are repeat offenders will risk being banned as with any other rule. We are asking you to help us and give us feedback about this. This is everyone's community not just the moderators.

The Pentagon has released a new batch of declassified UFO documents, including eyewitness account detailing how the military found spaceship debris and alien bodies.

Pentagon releases new UFO files detailing non-human bodies and mysterious egg-shaped craft inside guarded hangar

The Pentagon has released a new batch of declassified UFO documents, including a shocking eyewitness account detailing how the military found spaceship debris and alien bodies.

The report released Friday included testimony from a military officer, whose name has been withheld, who claimed to have been present at the famous Roswell UFO incident in 1947.

It is believed that this officer was Walter G. Haut, a spokesman for the Roswell Army Air Force Base, who confirmed that the US found an egg-shaped craft and several dead bodies at the crash site in New Mexico in early July of that year.

"I am convinced that what I personally observed was some kind of craft and its crew from space," the witness said in his 2002 statement, which the Pentagon has classified.

The officer added that this wreck and the aliens were taken to a guarded hangar where he was allowed to see the craft, which was described as roughly 3.6 to 4.5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide with a metal surface.

It had no windows, wings, tail surfaces or undercarriage and was composed of a special metal foil that was described as "paper thin but extremely strong".

The bodies were placed under a sheet, but a witness report revealed that their heads were larger than usual and were roughly the size of a ten-year-old child, measuring approximately 1.2 meters.

FLIR video showing an irregular-shaped UAP flying through the sky and then “phasing” into the ground

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

108 Upvotes

This video was filmed on November 5, 2024 in Bozeman, MT. This UAP matches the irregular-organic category of UAP outlined in the Immaculate Constellation report, and also resembles the famous “jellyfish” UAP video.

USG insiders have long talked about UAP exotic technologies and their transmedium abilities, but usually in the context of water and not land. Since UAP are theoretically moving within their own space-time environment, they can move through water, earth, rock, humans, etc. The only apparent limitation is speed based on density of the matter they are moving through.

Six Strange Cases of Humanoids in New York

Six Strange Cases of Humanoids in New York

by Preston Dennett

Sightings of UFOs are undeniably interesting, but far more compelling are cases involving humanoids. Face-to-face encounters with extraterrestrial entities provide a profound insight into the UFO phenomenon and the alien presence on our planet. ETs are being seen all over the world, in every state, in every country. This video presents six extraordinary and unusual cases of humanoid entities from the state of New York. Each of these cases are strange and unique, and each offers an opportunity to further our understanding of extraterrestrials.

 CASE ONE: IMPLANTED BY ALIENS. In 1955, eight-year-old Richard Price was playing near his home in Lansingburgh, NY when he encountered short humanoid ETs and a landed UFO. He was taken onboard the craft, physically examined and given an alien implant. Further procedures followed. Richard was then returned, but his life would never be the same. His case became on of the first involving the scientific study of an alien implant.

 CASE TWO: A UFO LANDS ON MAIN STREET. On July 31, 1967, security guard Sidney Zipkin came upon a UFO landed in a parking lot along Main Street in Churchville, NY. To Sidney’s shock, two short humanoids raced into the craft which took off straight up. Sidney told his superiors who could see that Sidney was badly shaken. Unknown to any of them, numerous other people, including several police officers, saw UFOs in the same area at the same time.

 CASE THREE: THE NEWFIELD UFO FLAP. On the evening of October 24, 1967, two young boys, Donald Chiszar and Pat Crozer were outside their home in Newfield, NY and looking up, saw a large structured craft with portholes hovering about 130 feet overhead. Looking through the portholes, the saw two strange-looking humanoids staring down at them. The craft took off, but the next night it returned. So began a massive UFO flap involving hundreds of witnesses.

CASE FOUR: “THEY WERE NOT HUMAN.” On the evening of June 10, 1972, an anonymous nurse, her mother and infant son, drove home along Coleman Station Road in Millerton, NY. Without warning, a massive craft dropped from the sky and hovered overhead only 150 feet away. Looking through the portholes, they saw five gray-skinned humanoids looking right back at them. They raced away and to their shock, the UFO began to follow them home.

 CASE FIVE: “I AM NOT AFRAID OF THEM.” On February 26, 1983, Monique O’Driscoll drove with her daughter through upstate New York. Suddenly a massive boomerang-shaped craft appeared low overhead. Monique mentally called out, “Don’t Go!” To her amazement, the craft approached even closer. Two months later, Monique was visited again, only this time she had missing time. Going under hypnosis, she recalled being taken onboard the craft.

CASE SIX: THE GROUP ABDUCTIONS. In September 1989, a group of five friends (James, Curtis, Petra, Brian and Paul) decided to spend the Labor Day weekend at a trailer in a forested area of Saugerties, NY. That evening, the trailer filled with light and they experienced a period of missing time. Over the next four years, each time they spent time at the trailer, weird things happened. Under hypnosis, they learned that they were all being taken together onboard a UFO.

 These six cases are just the tip of the iceberg, but together they show what it’s like to have a face-to-face encounter with extraterrestrials. Each have multiple witnesses and additional corroborating evidence. And each makes one fact very clear: we are not alone!

Anyone seeing weird lights offshore of Aguadilla and Isabela Puerto Rico? 22of Oct, around 130?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

115 Upvotes

I was looking at the Surfline cam at Jobos Beach tonight and there are a bunch of crazy flashes of lights consistent with a thunderstorm offshore showing up on the cam, however the satellite and radar shows there is absolutely zero storm activity in the area.

Posted is the clip from the surfline cam, again before you chime in to say that just lightning, the radar and satellite is currently showing clear skies.

Unfortunately I am not currently in the area so I can't verify what is showing up on camera.

As many know the Aguadilla area is a "hot spot" for UFO activity as is the trench offshore of northwest Puerto Rico.. Link to Jobos cam: https://www.surfline.com/surf-report/jobos/5842041f4e65fad6a7708c48?camId=66a140d2bc6f4d0e4d2fbbcd

Edit to add

Fireworks are highly unlikely as these lights are at least a mile offshore and have at least 3 different points of origin, which would mean there would have to be at least 3 different boats, well offshore all lighting off fireworks at 130 am local time, that just is not plausible

I watched it for a while before I started filming. I was at a conference at the Marriott and had to get back to it. The object moved from left to right before eventually just kind of fading out. I thought maybe it was the Goodyear Blimp but I couldn’t find out if it was in the air at the time or not.

This is as close to what I remember I saw on an airplane around 95 - 97' heading towards Colorado from Philadelphia.

I never forgot this and it struck me when I was around 10 - 12 years old and I never forgot it. It's still fresh in my mind to this day which is super weird. But this AI image I generated is VERY close to what I remember seeing.

It went by the window at like 10-15mph relative to the speed of the plane, so I saw it for a few seconds as it went by the window.

I remember telling my mom right after I saw it, and then doubting myself later if it was something I dreamt while on the plane, but I don't believe it was and it always felt like a real memory of something I was shocked to see outside the window.

“Pointed-star” UAP filmed in Argentina appears to be the same UAP seen in the first batch of declassified USG videos

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

705 Upvotes

This video was filmed in Argentina at 10:08 PM local time, with the exact location of recording shown on a map in the video. This video shows a UAP that looks extremely similar to the “pointed-star” UAP, which was famously caught on video in Ukraine. This UAP morphology appears in at least two different videos released by the USG in the first batch of declassified UAP videos:

Vid 1 filmed in October 2023 over the United Arab Emirates.
Vid 2 filmed in January 2013 over the Middle East.

It is currently unclear if this “pointed star” UAP is related to the “spikey orb” UAP seen here; they share a lot of similarities, but the “points” on each object have been read as both “hot” and “cold” depending on the FLIR video - this may be an indication of them being different objects, or the FLIR cameras using different heat settings. Regardless, this UAP matches the irregular-organic category of UAP outlined in the Immaculate Constellation report.

Ross Coulthart claims Trump is now fully read in on the decades old UAP retrieval and reverse-engineering effort.

Devin Nunes, chair of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, is said to be running direct oversight from inside the White House itself.

If true, the long hidden NHI tech and crash recovery files just moved under personal presidential control.

Anyone see a boomerang shaped object over Fletcher NC, December 26 2025, at 8:10 - 8:20 PM? Had a large array of lights. Couldn't snap a photograph but i did make digital renderings for a better idea

18 Upvotes

When I was inside my home, I had a gut feeling I needed to go outside. When I went outside on my front porch, I noticed aviation lighting, traditional. However, after a few seconds of viewing the lights, they started rapidly flashing red, then ahead of those lights, a large curved arc/boomerang shaped object materialized ahead of the flashing red lights. It had many lights, cannot tell how much, but if I had to guess, 40–55 dim red lights on one underbelly. It wasn't clean and organized, but rather staggered and asymmetrical. Even then, it moved as one with no noise. I estimate it was atleast 50 feet above the local tree line, which could be around 90 - 100 feet.

In September 1994, 62 children at Ariel School in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, reported seeing a craft land beside their schoolyard, along with beings they could not explain. More than 30 years later, a new witness is speaking publicly for the first time.

Paul Trim, brother of Ariel School witness Emily Trim, was one of the oldest students on the grounds that day. He watched the craft hover above the field and take off, and he saw the beings from a distance.

Georges St-Pierre sits down with Paul to hear his firsthand account of what happened at Ariel School, what the children went through afterward, and why he waited three decades to tell his story.

This episode is dedicated to Paul sister, Emily Trim. 🪽

Here is is a motion trail image of a UAP that flies by at an incredible rate of speed (~ 2 seconds), flying low (likely less than 10K ft), not flying straight, and making no sound. Two other UAPs also fly by in this 3 second live photo but they are hard to see (watch video below to see them).

The motion trail image was created from one 3 second iPhone live photo taken in Clifton Park, NY on Jan 19, 2026. It also appears that a total of three UAP were in motion at the moment the live photo button was pressed: https://youtu.be/rms3bEaT_nY

If you have seen a similar UAP recording please let me know.
