Harvard scientist Avi Loeb suggests that the CIA's ambiguous response to classified documents about the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS hints at its potential artificial or threatening nature, contrasting with NASA's identification of it as a natural comet, and raises concerns about possible extraterrestrial origins and future interstellar objects.
An unidentified flying object, likely a drone, crashed and exploded in eastern Poland near Osiny, causing minor damage but no injuries, with authorities investigating whether it was military or smuggling related amid ongoing regional tensions.
Harvard physicist Avi Loeb suggests that the mysterious space object 3I/ATLAS, detected approaching Earth, may not be a natural comet but potentially an engineered object or UFO, based on its lack of typical comet features and its trajectory. He proposes further investigation with NASA's Juno spacecraft to determine its true nature, emphasizing the importance of monitoring such objects for signs of artificial origin.
Mysterious car-sized drones have been spotted in the night skies over San Diego County, following similar sightings in New Jersey. Witnesses describe the drones as large, silent, and capable of unusual maneuvers. Despite public concern, local authorities and military officials have not claimed responsibility for the drones, leaving their origin and purpose unknown. Some speculate they could be paper lanterns, but uncertainty remains.
YouTuber and aerospace engineer Destin Sandlin captured footage of unidentified objects flying across the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. While initially thought to be satellites, astronomers have raised doubts due to the objects' speed and brightness, suggesting they could be bugs, meteors, or space junk. The mystery remains unsolved, and Sandlin has asked viewers to help identify the objects.
Mysterious floating objects spotted in the Tampa Bay area skies are likely Starlink satellites from a recent SpaceX launch, according to tracking data from findstarlink.com.
A groundskeeper in North Carolina discovered a mysterious space object along a remote hiking trail, believed to be covered in burnt carbon fiber and possibly linked to SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. The object, which stands nearly 4 feet tall, has raised questions due to the lack of surrounding damage and no reported unusual sounds. Similar debris was found in Canada earlier this year, and experts suggest the region could be an impact zone for space debris.
A 10-foot-tall steel monolith resembling a UFO has appeared on a hill in Wales, sparking mystery and speculation among locals. The object, described as triangular and stainless steel, was discovered by residents who were taken aback by its sudden appearance. This isn't the first time such monoliths have emerged, with similar occurrences in the U.K. and other parts of the world, drawing comparisons to the monolith in "2001: A Space Odyssey."
The Connecticut chapter of the Mutual UFO Network has seen a significant increase in membership, growing from six to nearly 100 members, and now holds monthly meetups in a public pizzeria to discuss flying saucers and alien life, marking a shift from their previous low-key suburban basement meetings.
A spectacular and mysterious green light flashed across the night sky in Western Australia, captivating onlookers who captured the phenomenon on their dashcams and shared it on social media. While it is believed to have been a meteor, there are various theories, including the possibility of a UFO. The Perth Observatory described it as a "bloody ripper of a meteor" and is working with Curtin University's Desert Fireball Network to determine its trajectory.
NASA has appointed a director of research to study unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs, in response to a report recommending increased investigation. The agency did not disclose the director's name, citing concerns over harassment. The report does not provide a definitive answer on the extraterrestrial origin of UAPs but proposes a larger role for NASA in studying the phenomenon. The panel recommends using Earth-observing instruments and public participation to collect data, as well as employing advanced algorithms to identify patterns. The goal is to shift from conjecture to science and promote transparency in UAP research.
A new group called Declassify UAP, led by Nick Gold, a media and tech consultant, aims to harness grassroots pressure to advocate for continued UFO research and disclosures from the federal government. The group plans to serve as a repository for resources on the UFO issue, including congressional testimony and pending legislation, while creating a nonpartisan grassroots army of informed citizens to support lawmakers pursuing the issue in Congress. Their advocacy will focus on reasonable declassifications of classified information about UFOs to pave the way for scientific progress and avoid alienating policymakers.
Mysterious lights spotted over Central Texas on Sunday night were most likely caused by a SpaceX rocket launch, specifically the Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 Starlink satellites into orbit. This is not the first time SpaceX launches have been mistaken for UFOs, as the Starlink satellites form a train of glowing lights in the sky. SpaceX has launched over 700 Starlink satellites and plans to launch an additional 12,000 to provide internet access in rural areas.
Las Vegas Metro Police responded to a report of a "10-foot creature" in a family's backyard after a green flash was seen across the sky. Body camera footage released by the police showed a mysterious object in the sky. The family later reported that they had "non-human" visitors in their backyard.
Las Vegas police responded to a 911 call from a family who claimed a UFO crashed in their backyard and non-human creatures were seen in it. Officers conducted a preliminary investigation but were unable to find anything. The case was closed as "unfounded." The House Oversight Committee is preparing a hearing on UFOs in the wake of unconfirmed claims the U.S. allegedly found crashed alien spacecraft.
