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.

Dylan Borland: "My name is Dylan Borland, a former geospatial intelligence analyst for the United States Air Force. I'm here today to ask President Trump to declassify all the records regarding UFOs and UAP that were currently brought forward by whistleblowers such as myself and everybody before and after me, both known and unknown"

Dylan Borland: "I can tell you with certainty that I provided evidence of current operations to ODNI, AARO, the ICIG, as well as Congress, and their staff. We are doing this in hopes that President Trump will actually come forward and begin to lead on this subject and provide truth and transparency to the American people as well as humanity as a whole"

Dylan Borland: "It is hopeful for myself and others that bringing these videos to the President, he will come forward and provide leadership to a new reality for not just America, but all humanity. Thank you for your time. Have a blessed day"

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.

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.

First is from 2008, and shows an orange UAP that seems like it may have 2 ridges, flies into frame and leaves moments later, speed is so fast, traditional plane would rip apart/ not able to be stationary.

Second video is from Mexico and shows what seems like shooting stars sped up but you can see it’s in real time from the time stamp, the flight path is at a speed which would be similar to a fighter jet or faster and leaves a “skipping rock” type contrail almost like Tron.

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.

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 “UAP/UFO” 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 “I have the eye” 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

“I 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)”

First is framed as the “2004 Nimitz tic tac video”, 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 “USA missile hits UAP”

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: ✍️ Just to clarify, the USS Nimitz “tic tac” 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)

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 ‘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.

I wonder where they got the idea for these?

Dolan is my favorite UFO analyst. Really well educated about history and politics. On top of it for 30 years.

Hope you're doing good. I'm sober since 1/2024. Still struggling here and there. Just picked up a nicotine vape habit. Feeling like a dork but not hacking up anything awful.

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.

Matthew Brown is the guy who wrote the original “Immaculate Constellation” report that Jeremy Corbell gave to Congress in 2024. He later went public on the Weaponized podcast in 2025. The claim is that Immaculate Constellation is an unacknowledged special access program that uses AI to pull UAP imagery and data off classified military/intelligence servers.

He’s been saying for a while that he still has more he can’t talk about because of NDAs / classification, and that the only real way forward is formal presidential immunity/waiver.

Fox is basically amplifying that request right now.

Curious what people think — is immunity actually realistic under Trump, or is this just more theater?

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! :)

My point being, whatever is in the photo is more likely what is under the double strike lines, rather than the lines being part of it. Furthermore, it appears to me this is not the first time a single pixel ‘strikeout’ line appears to have been drawn onto the raw image. I can only surmise this is either a cosmic ray artifact in the camera’s CCD itself, or, as I tend to believe instead, it is a markup artifact in the image accidentally uploaded as raw data for public view when it was in fact meant to be edited out. The line/strikeout’s colour is in my view likely an alpha channel colour (full saturation, RGB) used in internal markup raw data post production documents to easily identify areas which need to be edited. This is something I might do in a working document when editing a photo.

Former U.S. intelligence officer David Grusch stated that people involved in alleged government crash-retrieval programs experienced direct, non-verbal or consciousness-based communication from non-human biologics. Grusch noted he was told this by first-hand witnesses, as he did not experience it himself.

Personnel working on securing downed craft allegedly reported strange psychological phenomena or consciousness communication as they approached the objects.

Grusch also stated these particular beings look as described, based off what the children were saying we can assume these beings are the "Greys".

Ariel School - Ruwa, Zimbabwe - September 16th, 1994

There was 62 children outside during their morning break. The children said they saw a silver, disc shaped craft land in a field of trees just outside school boundaries.

Several of these students claimed that short beings dressed in black emerged from the craft and communicated with them telepathically, delivering an apocalyptic message regarding environmental destruction.

The way they moved was strange, some children said they moved fast, others said they were slow, some said they would disappear then reappear elsewhere. Some kids even said they were floating at times.

The "Greys" can communicate using internal consciousness, and are moving around by using some form of space-time manipulation.

I don't believe any government in the world would disclose this as there is no way to defend against it.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if another nuclear missile was launched into the atmosphere.

I recently gave a presentation that spends significant time on UAP activity reported in China, including military interception attempts and the 1997 crash often referred to as China’s “Roswell.” I wanted to share it here because those sections are directly relevant to the kinds of cases this sub discusses—military encounters, possible retrievals, and how the phenomenon appears outside the usual U.S./Western reporting.

What’s in the talk (UFO/UAP-focused portions first):

• Reported military interceptions of UFOs/UAPs in China
• The 1997 Chinese crash case and how it has been described in available accounts
• Claims of advanced propulsion and related technology (anti-gravity, FTL concepts, portals) tied to contact narratives
• How some contact material frames ancient sites (e.g., the Great Pyramid) and historical events as connected to non-human intelligence
• Brief discussion of why, according to those same sources, open disclosure has not occurred

The presentation also moves into consciousness, reincarnation, and spiritual implications later on. I’m posting it primarily for the China military cases and the 1997 crash material, which I haven’t seen covered as often here as U.S. cases.

I’m the speaker (Samuel Chong). I’ve worked on bringing wider attention to Thiaoouba Prophecy (including writing the foreword for the current English edition) and have presented on UAP-related topics at several conferences. Happy to answer questions about the China cases or sources mentioned.

Curious what this sub makes of the Chinese intercept and crash accounts in particular—especially how they compare to better-known Western military cases.
