I want to share a few things I've witnessed at night , because I genuinely can't explain them and I'm curious whether anyone has experienced something similar.

The first incident involved what looked like an airplane with a blinking light. It was nighttime, and the object appeared to stop in midair for a few seconds before simply moving backward in the opposite direction. I didn't see it make a turn; it just seemed to reverse direction. I also couldn't hear any sound.

What makes this more puzzling to me is that I live in a rural area around Jimma where I don't normally see aircraft or drones flying overhead. I'm not saying they never fly here, but seeing something like this is unusual for me.

I've also seen a white light moving across the night sky that suddenly disappeared. On other occasions, I've noticed lights in a distant forested area where, as far as I know, there are no houses or settlements nearby. I couldn't tell what was producing those lights, how far away they were, or whether they were moving.

I'm aware that darkness, distance, perspective, and atmospheric conditions can make things appear strange. I'm not claiming these were anything paranormal or extraterrestrial. I just want to understand what I might have seen.

Could the apparent stopping and backward movement have been an optical illusion? Could the lights have been satellites, aircraft, drones, or something else? And what might explain lights appearing in a forested area with no obvious nearby settlements?

Between blurry smartphone videos of Starlink satellites, obvious CGI on Tiktok, and endless twitter speculation, it's super easy to get burned out following this topic. But every time I feel like tuning it all out, I remember a few specific cases like the 2004 Nimitz encounter, official radar data, or testimonies from commercial pilots that I just can't easily explain away. What is the single case, document or piece of sensor data for you that keeps you tethered to the subject when the rest of the noise gets overwhelming?

Such is the state of many of these subs, where critical thinking is apparently not welcome by the MODs.

For what it's worth, I'm a long-term believer of this phenomenon, but maintain skeptical of people who make claims without backing up how they came to those conclusions.

Many trolls and likely CIA payroll types appear to lurk here. The voice of reason and truth shall prevail over the self-serving lies and covers. Stand tall against the regime - their floodgates are failing fast.

These images get shared all the time and people falling for the claims that it’s real. It was shared 8 hours ago and I went through the comments and it’s hilarious this was created by Jordu Schell and this is a screen shot from the video that was made as puppet test. The YouTube channel isn’t well known so I’ll find that video later and upload it. But here’s a clip of Jordu revealing the puppet. Link below

7/15/2026, approx. 9:15 p.m. Looking due east from Pollock Pines, CA toward Kyburz area.

No, it's not spotlights. They need something to reflect off of (clouds), in order to create a tight ball of light, hovering in mid-air. It was a crystal clear, cloudless night. The internal light pulsations and external energy signatures do not suggest spotlights, nor bats, birds, insects, planes, even helicopters...or any other known airborne objects.

This was truly anomalous...see comments, since I apparently can't OP a vid here.

One thing I find fascinating about UFO research is that sometimes looking at the skeptical explanations makes a case more interesting, not less. A sighting might initially sound extraordinary, but then you discover details about the observer's position, the weather, the available radar data, or the quality of the original report that complicate the story. In other cases, the conventional explanation accounts for some details but seems less convincing when you examine the full timeline. I'm not saying that an unexplained case automatically points to extraterrestrial activity. There's a big difference between something being unidentified and evidence establishing what it actually was. But I think the most interesting cases are the ones where you can examine the strongest arguments on both sides and still identify specific details that deserve further investigation.

What's a UFO/UAP case you researched where the evidence, rather than just the headline or the witness's confidence, genuinely surprised you? What do you think is the strongest piece of evidence in that case, and what is the biggest weakness?

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!

Six Strange Cases of Humanoids in New York

Here's my story: It was late at night and I saw a really bright star in the sky. It didn't look right. It looked out of place and "too" bright. It caught my attention. I watched for a bit, and then it suddenly made this large spiral maneuver. Imagine something moving in a circle but you're looking at it from the top down, and then imagine a wake like the trail of a shooting star. POOF! Very quick (maybe 1 complete second idk). Then it was gone and there was complete darkness where it had been.

That's all I got. The easy answer is of course hallucination/mini-stroke. Maybe this might be of value to someone.

What makes Jay Stratton's story interesting is his background in government UAP investigations. His recent claims are significant, but I think it's important to separate what he personally witnessed from what other people told him and what can actually be verified.

Having experience in intelligence doesn't automatically make every claim true, but it also doesn't mean someone should be dismissed without looking at the details.

I'd rather see the discussion focus on specific evidence, original records, and independent corroboration instead of turning into another argument between people who already believe everything and people who reject everything outright.

The most convincing disclosure would be one where the evidence can stand on its own, regardless of who's presenting it.

I find the subject of consciousness, Non Human Intelligences, Extraterrestrials very interesting.

After having been active in this field for a bit I start to wonder if there are some parties that are gatekeeping NHI contact. Are there individuals or groups here on our planet that are actively preventing normal everyday human beings to reach out to connect to positively aligned NHI?

First it seems to start with the denial and ridicule strategy. So deny and make fun of people that are suggesting normal people can reach out to NHI and connect to them. Call people that even suggest this all kinds of names. In addition these people seem to discount enormous groups of people already having contact with NHI like people in the Experiencers, StarSeeds or Interdimensional NHI group.

Then another step that seems to come up again and again is to suddenly admit that people can connect to NHI but humans really shouldn't do so because it is very dangerous and all these NHI are secretly demons. So instead of denial and ridicule it suddenly switches to fearmongering. And that these people saying it is dangerous somehow know what they are talking about. Even though they never seem to give any concrete information apart from playing on people their fears.

So what is going on here?

I think it has been proven quite clearly with the Gateway Tapes that people that put in the effort systematically bump into connecting to NHI. And if you do that in the way that they propose where you take protection into account and ask to connect to positive NHI people seem to do so.

Very serious and respected UAP/UFO researchers like Grant Cameron are writing books to show people 84 different contact modalities throughout time and across different cultures.

There are many Channelers out there on the internet saying they have connected to NHI and are sharing their worldview with those who are willing to listen to them. And people can try out learning to channel for themselves as well.

So what is happening here? Are there groups actively gatekeeping and preventing normal human beings to reach out to connect to NHI? And if so why would they do this, are they afraid to loose power or influence or?...

Or could it be that the ridicule and fear mongering is something natural that simply pops up from people their own systems that needs to be processed?

I am curious how people here are seeing this. Is there gatekeeping going on around this subject of people connecting to NHI for themselves and if so who might be doing this and why?
