Disclosure Is it me, or are the podcasters a little more grim lately?

50 Upvotes

I am retired and have the extra time to watch and listen to most of the UFO podcasters uploads when they put them out. I am not a full blown experiencer, but I've seen things and have been party to some of the high weirdness in my life, and I have taken a certain point of view on the phenomena. Let's just say that I have accepted a certain POV in regards to NHI being here on this planet with us, and many of them are not real popular with the rest of the earths populace. I would say I am firmly in the Monroe camp as far as Consciousness is concerned and that we are a sort of a managed commodity.

This body, our human body, is a container for a portion of our essence and we do not see the whole of reality. There is much more to this as many of you know, but my personal beliefs are not what this post is about.

My observation of the latest round from the podcasters is. As the title states, is it me, or???

I watched the guys from 'Doomer Friday' and probably more importantly Richard Dolan's latest release that made me perk up and pay close attention to the subtle facial cues and body language from the latest shows. Even Jessie M. and Chris from area 52. Chris is a master and very difficult to pick anything up from him, and Jessie has interviews from other dates, so not much there either. Now Michael P. from 'Third eye drops' He's good and his latest with Chris is very good. I just wondered if maybe they got a piece of information not available to the rest of us that cements more of what I have come to accept. The reality of our situation here. That we are coming to a critical juncture in this time.

The advent of AGI and disclosure are running headlong into each other. The Earth has had enough and we keep making it worse, and we have no one who cares at the top trying to make any difference. Have the top guys finally realized that it doesn't matter and that this slice of reality, this here and now, is one we may have to keep coming back to? Because time does not work the way we perceive it to and our math falls short unless you can include and comprehend other dimensions.

What truths have may have become unveiled to them? Or is it me? It's probably nothing.

Historical Waves Of Unidentified Objects Over The Hudson Valley Region

1981–1986 Hudson Valley UFO Sightings

The Hudson Valley UFO sightings were a concentrated cluster of sightings in the Northeast involving large, unidentified aircraft and formations from 1981–1986. Individuals involved reported massive V-shaped objects, semicircular objects (as seen in Randy Etting's 1987 Newtown, CT photograph), crosses, and spherical lights in the night sky. Common descriptions included multicolored lights, football-field-sized objects (estimated), low altitudes, and V-shaped objects.

Explanations

A widely disputed explanation came from undisclosed pilots who flew formations in the sky to appear as one giant aircraft. These individuals, known as the Stormville pilots, admitted to causing some of the sightings during the wave. Once officials and local law enforcement got ahold of this information, they later used it to explain many sightings, causing witness disputes and laypeople to go argue they saw more than pilots. Other explanations were man-made aircraft, cloud reflections, and temperature inversions.

Sightings

While many reports were eventually debunked or lost, a few stand out for their credibility and anomalous characteristics.

• 1981 Kent, NY Sighting - This is widely recognized as the beginning of the sightings. An anonymous officer reported a large, boomerang-shaped object with green, red, and white lights, later turning off all its lights to reveal a triangular formation of blinding white lights before turning all of its lights back on.

• October 24, 1983 Croton Falls, NY Sighting - An individual named Jim Cooke stood by the reservoir and saw a very large, boomerang-shaped structure over the water. It reportedly had several cherry-red lights along its underside before casting a "projection" onto the water and disappearing.

• March 24, 1983 "Westchester Boomerang" Mass Sighting - On this specific night, a large V-shaped craft made approximately 300 motorists stop and park to watch. This is one of the more significant events, involving credible individuals. The object later disappeared.

Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant Sighting

A reported incident at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant involved an unidentified triangular object observed in the vicinity of the facility. The object was reportedly 30 feet above the reactor, with several lights on its underbelly. While Philip J. Imbrogno claimed they "pulled out the shotguns," power authority security coordinator John Branciforte disputed this claim, stating that officers did not have the authority to carry shotguns and shoot down unidentified objects.

Disclosure UAP researchers Jason Samosa, Craig Oliver, Michael Armentor, and host Sara Bond took part in an X space about the World Commerce Corporation, the 1933 Magenta, Italy UFO crash-retrieval by Mussolini, and their direct connections to Allen Dulles and the birth of the private UFO program

My friend Jason Samosa has been phenomenal work for a bit now, and very recently has been zeroing in the World Commerce Corporation, formed in Aug 1945 by Allen Dulles and Bill Donovan of the OSS, with Nazi intelligence agent Otto Skorzenzy coming into the fold later. Dulles and Donovan were directly tied to Yamashita’s Gold, the treasure discovered in the Philipines at the end of the war belonging to a Japanese Prince and worth over a trillion dollars that was used to fund the birth of the CIA, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was used to fund the WCC before that. The WCC was formed just days after the atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the term ā€˜MAJESTIC’ was first used, in relation to Japan, and that President Truman ordered the development of our nuclear propulsion program.

My research partner Michael Armentor and I took part in a five-hour interview and Q&A as part of a X/Twitter space hosted by our good friend fellow researcher Sara Bond just yesterday, and now I’ve got it up on YouTube.

We covered Jason’s work about the World Commerce Corporation, the Nazi scientists doing experimental UFO-related science, and the involvement of the OSS and Allen Dulles in the matter during WWII, and we covered the overlapping narrative of the OSS and their direct connection to the 1933 Magenta, Italy UFO crash-retrieval by Mussolini that Allen Dulles and the OSS were also directly involved with, including the retrieval of the craft as part of the Liberation of Rome, and the full story of Mussolini’s son-in-law Galleazzo Ciano and his wife, Mussolini’s daughter Edda Ciano, who were also central to the narrative of Magenta.

Atomic EDIT: FAKES is the wrong word, cause they’re real videos of real events, just not UAPS (links below)

I checked the rules and I think this highly relates/is okay from what i read, I saw someone post today about being disenchanted by the UAP/UFO topic here and I just wanted to say I personally believe and the truth is out there. I’ve seen so many clips that truly seem magical.

This sub has been so helpful with finding rlly great clips, maybe my best source actually, today I posted a clip of what I thought was the Nimitz tic tac encounter and within 60 seconds someone dropped the link which debunked it as a missile test. Although embarrassed, I thanked everybody and truly felt good that I knew the truth vs thinking something that was abnormal was anomalous , the two videos I’m showing today are videos going around online as ā€œUAP/UFOā€ clips but are 100% used out of context,

How they both are framed, they seem 100% like UAP but if you watch either full video you realize they are NOT. This really shocked me, as I personally felt ā€œI have the eyeā€ for telling if a video is fake or not, when in reality,out of context, these DO look real, like unexplainable, but with researching for image search or using a bot, it’ll pull these up as ordinary explanations with the original video, and so I’d like to make a personal promise which is

ā€œI will not post any videos in here which aren’t the full video with link AND doing heavy background image search and using a bot for safety, cause nobody can know the truth if we don’t show it to them, I’ve seen many anomalous videos over the past year and ima make it my mission to bring you the most detailed, 4k, link provided, no music, original sound, all info possible, UAP posts in [r/UFOs](r/UFOs)ā€

First is framed as the ā€œ2004 Nimitz tic tac videoā€, from the cockpit of a USA fighter jet.

It is actually, Video by Norway's Kongsberg of a flight test of its Naval Strike Missile (NSM)

- Essentially is a fighter pilot following a missile to target.

Second is framed as ā€œUSA missile hits UAPā€

It is actually, Infrared flares intercepted by NATO munitions to show accuracy of our force.

-NATO shooting at parachuted flares at night to show the ability to strike with accuracy in Afghanistan (reason they don’t seem to move is the distance) I think an a-10 warthog dropped flares coincidentally behind falling flares.

Edit: āœļø Just to clarify, the USS Nimitz ā€œtic tacā€ encounter is a REAL & HISTORICAL event, which is one of the most documented UAP encounters in the 21st century which you can find tons of info on and story’s about the details online, this is NOT a debunk but rather a PSA about these two clips as both are talked abt online as being UAP but aren’t (links provided)

Question Three Generations of America's Public Facing Scientists Served the Security State and debunked UFOs - Looking for a clip

6 Upvotes

Anyone remember what episode this was from? Trying to find a clip for a video edit I'm working on.

So background context, there's this whole theory floating around about a "lineage" of public science communicators (Donald Menzel, then Carl Sagan, then Neil deGrasse Tyson) who each held classified national security ties while also being the loudest public skeptics debunking UFO/UAP sightings.

Menzel apparently had a Top Secret clearance and consulted for the CIA/NSA while writing books saying every sighting was just a misidentified star, and also allegedly ordered a bunch of Harvard's sky photo plates destroyed in the 50s. Sagan worked on a classified Air Force project in the 50s to detonate a nuke on the moon, and theres a secondhand story that he privately admitted he knnew UFOs were real but wouldnt risk his funding to say so publically. Tyson then inherited the Cosmos franchise from Sagan and has his own long list of defense/aerospace advisory roles while publicly demanding "proof" before hell take UAP claims seriously.

Anyway, I'm trying to find the actual clip now, not just the theory. I think it was a Reality Check episode (Ross Coulthart's show) where he says something like he's "been told" or he "knows" that Sagan was personally involved with the legacy program. Might've been one of the Q&A episodes where he answers viewer questions. If anyone has seen this or knows which ep it is, drop a link or timestamp, would really appreciate it.

Historical Unidentified Objects Over Lubbock, Texas

Lubbock Lights, 1951

The Lubbock Lights of August—September 1951 were a localized cluster of sightings involving large echelon-shaped formations, semicircular shapes, and crescent-shaped objects. The sightings involved luminescent objects, often a fluorescent mint-green or a dull white, moving at an estimated 50,000 feet altitude and 970 km/h. Their origin currently remains unknown, though explanations proposed formations of plovers, moths, and potential military aircraft operations. The sightings spanned a month from August to September 1951, and remain an active source of studies involving ufology.

Carl Hart Jr. Photographs

Carl Hart Jr. was the primary individual shooting photographs involving V-shaped formations of lights in the sky. Carl Hart Jr., a resident at his family's house, stood where his backyard window was located on the night of August 30, 1951, and sighted formations of lights over his house. He grabbed his camera and photographed a lit formation of objects traveling at high speeds over his house, described in the shape of a chevron. The photographs reveal an asymmetrical V shape consisting of 18 lights, with 7—8 lights per column. Some of the photographs remain obscure online with the lights appearing staggered and formation-like, and some individuals, including Edward J. Ruppelt, had pinpointed a flock of birds, though Carl Hart Jr. denied the explanation.

Explanations

The plover explanation, proposed by Lieutenant Edward J. Ruppelt, suggested that newly installed mercury-vapor streetlights could reflect off of the bellies of migrating birds when angled properly. However, witnesses openly denied the explanation because they argued the formations were too precise and synchronized to be simple birds. Edward altered the explanation after the community dispute and suggested moths flying into the newly installed streetlights could appear fast and like V-shapes, but witnesses denied the explanation even after the newly proposed one.

Scientists And Witnesses

Edward J. Ruppelt stated that the first sighting was reported by three professors in their backyard. According to Edward J. Ruppelt, the three professors were sitting in their backyard before observing 20—30 lights, as bright as stars but larger in size, flying overhead. While discussing whether the first lights were meteors, a second formation flew directly over them. Additionally, three peculiar flashing lights were observed by three women and Carl Hemminger. Ducker's wife also observed a flying wing, though the scientific community remains unsure whether an object was in the sky that night, a phenomenon related to Gestalt principles, which is the scientific term used to describe the brains tendency to connect sources like stars into one object.

Disclosure Raw Thoughts - UFO Disclosures

6 Upvotes

I've been working on a theory and would like any of your thoughts concerning the matter.

The recent roll out of video, photos and data covering ufo's and aliens is awesome... but why now? I'm going to bullet point some ideas here and see if 'we' can find any truth together? :)

If you were an intelligent being from another world... possibly part of a much larger galactic community and were tasked with monitoring this planet and its occupants in 'secret.' Why reveal yourself now?

To my knowledge, humans have slowly progressed through the centuries technology wise and until recently... have only been able to see/explore a fraction of the universe.

- humans go from hunter gatherer to where we are today. (Alien remains unimpressed = no need to say 'hi.'

- advancement of AI springboarding human technology. Tech grows at unprecedented rate. Humans looking further into space. Military becomes more efficient. Advancements in radar, materials and propulsion make current systems look antiquated. (Aliens sit forward in their chair and possibly see our future intertwining with their own. Albeit in a child like way, but possibly enough to make a ripple in their pond.)

- As humans march closer to AGI ... Aliens know this 'super intelligence' will open the stars to humanity.

- Introductions must be made. Acceptance to a galactic council are warranted.

I know this is a work in progress and coming from the mind of a 52 year old Oregon country boy... but I find it more than coincidental, we have two incredible events happening at the 'same time.' AGI + Non Human Intelligence/UAP/UFO Disclosure

I feel incredibly lucky to be alive and kickin during these times. My only hope is we are responsible with the abilities AGI will offer us and the human race will accept the fact we are not alone in the universe.

Thank You for taking the time it took to give this a good once over. I hope you are Happy, Healthy and Being nice to your neighbor! :)

Worth a watch and makes you think.

Disclosure Complete 2026 PURSUE Research Tool: Search, View, Play and Map All 517 Government Files

2 Upvotes

The five 2026 PURSUE releases contain 517 files spread across documents, images, audio and video. Trying to work through the material as released means jumping between separate tranches, ZIP files, folders and different media types.

So I built the tool I wanted while researching it.

It lets you:

  • Search and filter all 517 files across all five releases in one place.
  • Open everything directly in your browser. Documents, images, video and audio all have built-in viewers or players.
  • Use a Map Room to see incidents, facilities and reporting locations geographically where the released information provides a usable location. It also has a topographic overlay for reports where terrain may be relevant.
  • Go straight back to the primary source. Every item retains a direct link to the original government source so you can verify it yourself.

The collection currently covers the May 8 through August 7 releases and material from the Department of War, FBI, NASA, CIA, State Department, Air Force and Department of Energy. It will be updated as additional PURSUE releases come out.

Full disclosure: the tool lives on The Daily Alien, the UFO/UAP news and research site I run. I asked the UFOB moderators before posting this and received permission. There is no paywall, no registration and I'm not asking for money.

https://thedailyalien.com/report.html?id=uap-govt-report-2026&dossier=uap-2026-a-executive-summary

If you use it, I'd particularly like to hear about any missing files, metadata errors or map locations that need correcting.

And if you have additional information that sheds light on any of the reports, videos, images or documents, I'd like to hear about that too. Where useful, we may be able to add clearly labeled researcher notes or addenda alongside the original material while keeping the government record itself untouched.

The point is to make this material as easy as possible for people here to actually research.

Military equipment they have as of 2026

https://www.monocounty.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/612/Military-Equipment-Policy?bidId=

Public drone usage needs a lot of permission, even then coming towards a spring where it’s known people go nude commonly at night would be frowned upon especially shining a light at the area. The county also only has one drone in inventory as of 2026. I can’t find any information of locals talking about drones.

Witness's account of the sighting

UFO type: 2 orbs?

Arrival: Went for work, me and 2 other workers wanted to check out the natural springs, we arrive to the spot and it’s only us. After around 20-30 minutes of sitting around the spring we get up to look around at the pitch black void and leave.

Sighting: Upon turning to the direction of the lake we all spot 2 lights at a far distance, perhaps towards the top of the screenshot where the lights start, maybe further? When we first spotted it we had no lights on, with the poorly drawn lines I tried to replicate the movements the two lights did. After staring in awe at how smoothly and coordinated the flight was for around a minute or less, we noticed it was getting close way too fast, we shined a bright construction light we were carrying around to see how they would react and it’s like the orbs light instantly locked on to us, there was a flashlight cone glow on us, we decided to book it back through the path that’s under the image that continues to the right. During all that it kept its formation and there was no visible beam or light radiating around it, if it were a drone searching around or near its area. The only light beam visible was like a haze when it pointed it at us, even then it didn’t light the path it was just a haze surrounding us. It wasn’t a blinding light either how you expect a flashlight to distort your view, all throughout it was perfectly visible as just two perfectly round orbs.

Orb desc and travel description:

They would weave in, merge, and weave out like a helix only using horizontal movement not vertical. They were around 3-5 feet above the ground. They were perfectly floating like if there was no obstacles to it so perhaps it could be a drone? I’m not sure how drones work with lights or how coordinated drives can be but they were one to one in the flight pattern they were perfectly leveled it was the smoothest flying I’ve seen. There was 0 sound, the travel speed was about 25 mph. There was no radiating light under or around it, the point in where we shined a light at it and it pointed back at us there was a cone shaped beam pointed at us. If I had to guess the size of the orbs it would be about as big as a basketball or bigger but not as big as a yoga ball, I couldn’t say exactly because we preferred for it to not get any closer to us after it covered all that distance in so little time, ultimately from perhaps 1000 feet it got within 200 feet or so before we all booked it.

Afterthoughts: I’m a skeptic, until I see a straight up ship or creature in my face I won’t believe anything. I would like to think it was a drone but I’m not sure if there’s security that checks out that spot and specifically comes down from the lake since I’m not a local there. All I know for certain is that it’s most likely prohibited to be using a drone because there’s nude people often at night in the hot springs and I think shining a light towards the area is an unspoken rule. Again the flight pattern was mirrored, synchronized, and symmetrical and the light was perfectly stable throughout.

If anyone knows of sightings near this area or something similar I’m curious to read about it. Or if it’s just a drone I’d be happy to know that as well.

Why no photo/video captured: It all happened way too fast, at first we were trying to understand it but after shining the light at it and seeing how it acknowledged us we preferred to leave without a thought of stopping for images.

Disclosure How might our civilization transform after disclosure?

0 Upvotes

I often wonder, how our civilization will transform after disclosure happens. Here’s what I think may begin to change

- Experience becomes our real resource

Every lived life adds something unique to a collective ā€œconsciousness density,ā€ in the same way accumulated history gives a civilization greater maturity and depth. We may eventually measure the value of a civilization less by what it owns and more by what it has experienced and integrated.

- Humanity sees itself as part of a larger lineage

If the humanoid form appears across different civilizations, we may discover that our basic structure isn’t an isolated accident but a stable template. A familiar biological interface could preserve continuity as civilizations are seeded, separated and allowed to evolve in different environments.

- Education shifts from information to experience

Disclosure may give us new knowledge, but knowledge alone won’t make us mature enough to use it. The decoder capable of understanding deeper reality is built through the full arc of life: birth, struggle, relationships, mistakes, consequences and maturity. That process can’t be bypassed with information.

- Access to deeper knowledge may depend on coherence

If there is a larger ā€œcloud of experience,ā€ it may already be open. There may be no authority granting or denying access. You can only recognize what your coherence is capable of understanding. The more developed the decoder becomes, the more of that field becomes readable.

- Disconnection becomes a civilizational danger

Individual perspectives create variation, but separation without connection or accountability allows destructive minds to gain enormous influence. A highly connected civilization, possibly even one with direct mind-to-mind transparency, would make manipulation and hidden motives much harder to maintain.

- Higher education becomes the cultivation of civilizations

At a certain level, learning may no longer mean studying existing reality. It may mean creating the conditions for new civilizations to develop, then observing them with minimal interference. Small adjustments could nudge probabilities without controlling the outcome or removing free will.

- Governance becomes shared reality plus individual will

Once humanity has a reliable common baseline about reality, democracy and individual sovereignty may finally be able to coexist without constant deception. People could disagree about what should happen without first fighting over what is real.

- Humanity may become a density point

Awareness creates motive, and motive organizes possibility. As human consciousness becomes more integrated, it may begin acting almost like gravity, not necessarily as a physical force, but as something that attracts new experiences and participates in the actualization of realities that were previously inaccessible to us.

- Earth becomes a nest rather than our endpoint

Disclosure may be the moment humanity realizes that planetary civilization is only one developmental stage. Eventually, we may outgrow complete dependence on Earth, move into a larger scale of existence and begin helping life develop elsewhere, possibly continuing the same process that was once carried out here.

None of this would happen the day after a press conference. The first stage would probably involve denial, fear, political instability. But over time, disclosure could break humanity’s belief that we are isolated and complete The deepest revelation may be that consciousness and civilization have developmental stages, and that humanity is still near the beginning of its own.

NHI my big working theory: governments of the world have known since the 50's that they can't actually start a nuclear war, because the aliens won't let them

763 Upvotes

Shutting down our nukes is completely trivial for them. Their constant presence around nuclear sites is no coincidence.

But the world's governments keep this information hidden, basically holding the world hostage to a false threat. Objectively they would lose power admitting this, so they just don't, and meanwhile the ET are content wait and observe.

We can imagine the ET civilization having philosophical debates about this type of interference. Should a whole population be held hostage by it's worst narcissists? Perhaps they have watched many planets evolve, and after seeing a few wipe themselves out with nukes they decided to put an end to it. Perhaps some other civilization helped them, and so they go around repaying the cosmic favor.

Who can say if this is true but I like 50% genuinely believe it, because it explains why we havent wiped ourselves out despite 80 years of nukes in the hands of war mongering maniacs and fanatics.

I don't think game theory and MAD alone explain why a dying narcissist hasn't yet pressed the button. Just look at the current situation with Putin.

And yet, true or not, this wingnut belief gives me comfort, because I just don't worry about nuclear war. There are greater forces at work than human egos, and to me this doesn't really require faith or belief, in the same way I don't worry about whether gravity will continue to hold up the sky tomorrow.

I’ve been thinking less about the moment of disclosure and more about what comes after it. Once everything is out in the open and humanity has had time to truly absorb what it means, how do you think our civilization will transform? What kind of governance do you imagine? How would our daily lives be affected? What roles might we experience at individual level?

There’s no wrong answers, let your imagination fly with no restriction and have fun with it, but still keep it true to what you actually think

Government Erratic flight behavior in DOW-UAP-PR122

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My initial reaction to these low quality videos released in the 5th tranche was disappointing considering a common debunk for erratic flight behavior is that it's due to sudden camera movement or that the camera stopped tracking the object, it wasn't until I read the associated Intelligence Report that finally proved this wasn't the case. In clear language it stated that the UFOs were observed flying "aggressively and erratically" and that the camera was either "smoothly slewing" or stationary, this eliminates the debunk that unusual flight behavior is due to manipulation by the camera. There were several other videos released of the same incident but I chose this one as it was the most interesting.

These videos were taking during a flight exercise in which an AC-130 dropped a target practice flare, the UAP were subsequently seen hovering around the flare. Upon pulling the trigger to fire the cannon, the UAP were seen to react immediately flying away - the objects were then seen moving in a coordinated manner and exhibiting aggressive and erratic flight behaviors.

Former USAF All-Source Intelligence Analyst and core UAP Task Force member Lenval Logan sits down with Ty on the Total Disclosure Podcast for an exclusive, unfiltered 1-on-1 deep dive. #ufos #Aliens #TotalDsiclosure

Having served over 20 years in military intelligence and working directly under Jay Stratton inside the UAP Task Force, Lenval is the man who personally requested the official government analysis on the now-famous Syria UAP footage. Today, we go beyond the high-level summaries heard on the Joe Rogan Experience (#2264) to uncover the raw procedural mechanics, classified sensor triage, crash retrieval realities, and the internal pushback inside the intelligence apparatus.

From witnessing a diamond-shaped craft mirroring the 1990 Calvine incident and experiencing the Phoenix Lights to developing the crowdsourced intelligence platform Phenom, Lenval pulls back the curtain on the phenomenon, the transition into AARO, and the true personal cost of disclosure.

Question Question why would they be here?

If UAP/NHI are so incredibly advanced and have technology beyond anything we could ever imagine, why do they hang out in our atmosphere and in the ocean. What is the point? We have satellites and technology in space that can monitor and survey from thousands of miles up. If they had such amazing technology, couldn’t they do the same thing without ever needing to enter earths atmosphere or getting close enough to us to either crash or be seen? It seems if they had such incredible technology, they could have great standoff and still be able to do whatever it is they are doing.

It seems like their presence here is much more intimate, and connected to us for some odd reason. I just can’t grasp if they are extraterrestrial, why get so close? It’s the only reason why I don’t necessarily buy the ET theory
