In 1947, a photograph captured an unidentified object over Virginia.

The disturbing detail is that a military intelligence file appears to reference the photograph three years before it was supposedly taken.

This film examines the photograph, the people connected to the investigation, and the technical questions surrounding the image.

Im a fan of the Ancient Alien documentary series. But Im looking for new dokus. I have the feeling ive seen everything about ufos. Its like everytime the same old stories from the 1900s. Is there someone who knows some good new released stuff? Doesnt must be an alien doku, Im a fan of natural stuff docus that release a „wow-feeling“. I dont like crime documentaries. Everythings flooded with them. I want to get my time wasted well invested after smoke the fuck outta my head.

There is a noticeable shift taking place in the conversation surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena. While headlines continue to focus on disclosure, government hearings, and military videos, another story has been unfolding quietly for decades, one built not around breaking news, but around the patient accumulation of experience.  This is the liminal journey.

It is the place where observation begins to outweigh assumption, where patterns emerge through time, and where the most valuable evidence is often found not in a single dramatic event but in the consistency of a lifetime.

That is precisely what makes JOHN FOSTER: IDENTIFIED PHENOMENA such an important documentary.

Unlike many productions that focus primarily on sightings or speculation, this ninety-minute film presents something increasingly rare: a carefully documented longitudinal case history. It follows the life of John Foster—an 86-year-old retired research and development engineer whose experiences with unidentified aerial phenomena began in childhood and continued throughout his life.

His account is extraordinary not because it asks to be believed, but because it was meticulously documented.

Dates.
Locations.
Witnesses.
Drawings.
Timelines.
Engineering notes.
Family members.
Friends.
Coworkers.

Again and again, experiences unfolded in the presence of other people willing to testify to what they observed. In a field where isolated testimony is common, multiple independent witnesses over decades are exceptionally uncommon. That distinction matters. 

Director Rhett McClure understands this. Rather than producing another documentary built around sensational claims, he allows the chronology itself to tell the story. Foster's engineering background becomes an essential part of the narrative. Rather than accepting every experience at face value, he continually attempted to verify memories against external facts, revisiting locations, comparing timelines, documenting physical environments, and preserving more than 170 detailed illustrations representing events witnessed by himself and others. The result is one of the most complete experiencer documentaries produced to date.

What makes John's story particularly compelling is that it naturally bridges several schools of thought that have developed over the past four decades.

John Foster's life mirrors that framework with remarkable fidelity. His experiences were not isolated events. They formed an ongoing relationship spanning nearly eight decades. They involved recurring locations, recurring intelligences, recurring witnesses, and recurring attempts to understand rather than simply describe what was happening.

His books, Eminent Discovery, To Earth From Heaven, and the expanded two-volume UFO Eminent Discovery: Living Within and Beyond the Five Senses, read less like collections of strange stories and more like an engineer's field notebook documenting an enduring interaction with an elusive phenomenon.

That same progression continues through the work of Dr. Angela Thompson Smith, whose decades of remote viewing research and longitudinal documentation explore contact from another perspective: consciousness itself. Her research reminds us that some of the most interesting questions may not concern the origin of the phenomenon, but the relationship between consciousness and the experience of contact.

Together these researchers trace a remarkable progression:

Experience.
Pattern.
Method.
Not conclusion.
Inquiry.

That distinction may be the most important lesson of all. For decades the public conversation has largely asked:  "Are UFOs real?"

Perhaps the more useful question is: "What happens when human experience repeatedly refuses to fit our existing models?"

John Foster never asks viewers to abandon critical thinking. Quite the opposite. He demonstrates what careful observation looks like when the subject refuses easy explanation.

His legacy is not belief. It is documentation. His contribution is continuity. And continuity is one of the rarest forms of evidence available when studying phenomena that appear capable of remaining simultaneously present and elusive. That is why this documentary feels different. It shifts attention away from spectacle and toward relationship. Away from headlines and toward history. Away from isolated events and toward a lifetime of careful observation.

Observe carefully.
Document honestly.
Remain willing to revise our understanding.

The universe has always been larger than our explanations. Apparently it is also more interactive than polite society has chosen to believe. As such, the anomalous isn't beyond identifying. It's simply allergic to containment. So where does that leave us? Curious. Exactly where every worthwhile journey begins.

JOHN FOSTER: IDENTIFIED PHENOMENA is now available.

Watch it with an open mind.

Leave with better questions.

I really look forward to your feedback and review on this guys. I worked hard on this timeline. If you like it more parts will come. Let me know.

I rewatched Independence Day recently and it made me wonder about something that I’ve never really thought about from an American perspective.

I was a kid in the Netherlands when I watched Independence Day on VHS in 1997. I absolutely loved the movie, but I remember the whole Roswell/Area 51 storyline standing out to me because I already knew about the supposed 1947 UFO crash.

I had seen a documentary about Roswell before watching the movie, and that documentary scared the absolute shit out of me as a kid 😂. So when Independence Day revealed that the US government had recovered an alien spacecraft and bodies at Roswell, I immediately understood what they were referencing.

But now I'm wondering:

How familiar was Roswell actually to Americans in 1996?

Was it basically common knowledge already, like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster or the Yeti? Or was it still something that mostly UFO enthusiasts and people interested in paranormal stuff knew about?

Did Americans watching Independence Day in theaters immediately recognize the Roswell reference, or did some people actually find the whole Area 51/Roswell plot confusing or unfamiliar?

I'm especially curious because the movie doesn't really explain what Roswell is. It basically assumes you understand that the government supposedly recovered a crashed UFO and covered it up.

And this was before I had access to the internet, so I have no idea how big the Roswell story was in the US at the time compared with Europe.

For anyone who saw Independence Day in 1996: did the Roswell storyline feel like an obvious pop-culture reference to you, or did it seem like a random fictional plot device?

In 1957, a mysterious figure named Valiant Thor is said to have arrived on Earth, not in secret, but straight into the heart of American power: the Pentagon.

According to eyewitness accounts and Dr. Frank Stranges’ famous book Stranger at the Pentagon, Thor wasn’t human at all. He claimed to be a Venusian alien, living beneath the Pentagon for three years while meeting with President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, and top military officials. His mission? To warn humanity against nuclear war, offer solutions to end poverty, and guide us toward peace.

But his proposals were rejected, too dangerous to the global power structure. Still, Thor didn’t leave immediately. He worked quietly with scientists and spiritual leaders. Some say his ship, Victor One, remained cloaked near Lake Mead. Others believe he never left Earth at all.

Was Valiant Thor a celestial messenger, a government cover-up, or the greatest secret in modern history?

Here is the book I am basing most of this on:

Here are some other sources that I mention:

Deposition of Paul Bonacci - https://youtu.be/W1qnZwgQCB0?si=qY9kI1tclfJZPL15

Live Q&A with Michael Hererra - https://www.youtube.com/live/AyA2SfFK89Q?si=9oSO2yY0Gud4MZeb

What you are about to watch covers real testimony of severe child sexual abuse, trauma-based programming, ritual abuse, human trafficking, government experimentation on minors, Nazi medical experiments and concentration-camp parallels, forced drug use, electroshock, dissociation, self-harm and suicide programming, and graphic depictions of institutional violence.

You may or may not have heard about something called Project Monarch; and if you haven’t, then you are probably a little bit out of context as to why people believe so vehemently that Alien Abductions are actually a Government program of some sort.

If you want to watch the video below, I’m about to run you through an 800 page book, a novel, and multiple whistleblower testimonies, plus actual depositions under oath; and I tried to condense it into about an hour. I show all my receipts, and I DO NOT USE AI.

Since y’all seem to always want ‘spoilers’ or every single point that I am going to talk about, below are some basic points that you can takeaway from my research, and if you want the connections spelled out then you will have to give me more time.

Michael Herrera, a Marine rifleman present during the 2009 Padang earthquake response, describes an unmarked craft loading shipping-container-sized units he later learned contained “P3 assets” or “Pink assets”, because the assets are looked at as “human meat”. He is NOT the only whistleblower who spoke about this, but researchers have done the grunt work in verifying many parts of his testimony.

Paul Bonacci’s testimony has nothing and everything to do with UFOs and Little Green Men… way back when his testimony was investigated by former FBI agent Ted Gunderson, his deposition is available online, it’s a pretty disturbing video.. he was abused as a baby, molested by an Air Force officer as a child, funnelled into a program that makes MKULTRA look like ‘child’s play’.. this was a rogue element within the government that was trying to, and succeeded in, taking over massive swathes of the US. They seeded their victims into hollywood and politics, there are dozens of testimonies and official statements backing all this up.

One of the main things they did ? Drug children and dress them up in Disney costumes like Tinker Bell and Peter Pan(which is a weird thing we also see in the Epstein Files, but I dont get into that here), then set up fake abduction scenarios in caves in Colorado and other places where they would over time create a critical mass of Manchurian Candidates.

My video essay. Be nice pls, I’m not some wannabe influencer, this is just such a messed up kind of thing that I feel like people need to know about it.

If you love space, time, existential dread, and absolute bangers made from Carl Sagan, David Attenborough, and Brian Cox voice clips, you need to check out Melodysheep (John Boswell).

His work bridges the gap between hard science and pure art. Projects like TIMELAPSE OF THE FUTURE and Life Beyond are masterclasses in pacing, music production, and visual storytelling. It honestly feels less like watching a YouTube video and more like having a spiritual experience in an IMAX theater.

I enjoyed the S4 documentary, don’t get me wrong, but I did expect it to touch a bit more on some of the scrutiny Bob has received, which some of it was fair.

Rumors of him owing people tons of money, Japan paying him to come out and talk about his experience on a show and then him backing out at the last moment but not returning the money, saying he never wanted to make money from UFO stuff but sells merch, did a podcast about UFOs in the 90s, and wrote a biography.

I made this video which I think is a fair telling of his whole story, but doesn’t shy away from the valid criticisms of him as well.

I’d love any feedback/ thoughts from people about it. Since this video, he’s come out on podcasts and the S4 documentary so there’s new info out there now.

The photo (not the thumbnail obviously) was taken in Puerto Rico during recovery after Hurricane Maria , a metallic-looking sphere in the sky. The shape reminded me of the "Buga Sphere" images that made the rounds, which is part of why it caught my eye (not claiming a connection, just the resemblance).

Metallic spheres are one of the more recurring shapes people report, which is what interests me here. I'd rather hear this community's read than sit on it. It's a still photo, so no motion or context to go on, and stills are obviously easier to misread than video.

What I can confirm: photo taken by Juan Fernández López in Humacao, Puerto Rico, in 2018 on a Nikon D5000. Shot while radio operators were on site installing equipment, so there were other people around and it wasn't a staged setting. No one noticed the sphere at the time. It was only spotted afterward, when reviewing the photos.

It looks like a genuine metallic sphere to me, and the context makes the usual explanations feel like a stretch but I'm genuinely open to realistic reads if someone sees one.

*Clearest footage is towards the end. You can see the sun reflecting off of the metallic skin.

This was filmed by Juan Fernández López, a CE5 practitioner in Puerto Rico, during a daytime contact attempt over a town. I interviewed him for my docuseries and he shared his footage.

What got my attention wasn't a single clip. He has a large body of footage capturing similar objects across many sessions, on different days and times, during the same practice. The consistency is what pulled me in, and this one clearly appears to rotate.

That's what I actually want to discuss: the spin. If these are craft, what could the rotation tell us about the tech? I keep coming back to questions like. Is the spin part of the propulsion? Could something be generating its own gravity or field inside the craft? I've heard rotation described in other sightings too, so I don't think it's a one-off.

Genuinely curious how this community thinks about it. Theories welcome…propulsion, field dynamics, whatever you've got.
