I was driving on the highway in between fort Lauderdale and Miami headed northbound on I95 around 9:45pm. I was driving going around 75 80 mph and we just went under a under pass about to shoot out of the other side and the white light a little bigger then a baseball flew super close to the top of the underpass shot out going way over 150 my guess and made a super sharp upward movement to doge a telephone line 15 feet after the overpass then banked left towards the Everglades which is west and the light turned off invisible right as it hit over the horizon and the light when from bright light to nothing. I thought it might have been a drone but it made super sharp upwards movement and banked left so fast that I don’t think anyone flying it would be able to react. The cable was black against the new moon sky. Has anyone experienced something like this it freaked my girlfriend and I out.
Weird drone created sound interference on my iPhone.
With all the Trump dickriding from certain people in the community in the past months do you still believe it’s going to happen with everything going on right now?
Did a UFO crash six years before Roswell? In 1941, Reverend William Huffman was called to a mysterious crash site in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where he encountered a strange, circular craft and what appeared to be alien bodies. Join me as I dive into one of the earliest and most chilling encounters with extraterrestrial life in the US! Check out the video.
My dad heard an odd noise the other day. He described it as a constant, dull roar as if a large craft was stationary high above. The weird thing is when he checked his camera footage, a "sci-fi computer" noise was present. Any thoughts?
Xitting yourself is an Official Act, right?
This completely sums up Grusch's Nothing burger. Every time he was asked for specifics, it was some version of this:
"People started confiding in me, they approached me, I have plenty of current and former senior intelligence officers that came to me, many which I knew almost my whole career, that confided in me they were a part of a program, they named the program, I've never heard of it, and they told me based on their oral testimony, and they provided me documents and other proof, that there was in fact a program that the UAP Task Force was not read into"
Always the same version of "I'm just saying that people were saying..." No commitment to a single detail.
And this is supposed to be the earth-shattering government whistleblower?
Boy oh boy.
I really thought the constant gaslighting, obfuscation, truth inversion, and infantile coddling of the American public might be coming to an end. It seemed like the new administration was stacked DEEP with UFO disclosure proponents and truth seekers- on many issues, not just this one.
Definitely jumped the gun on that one.
In regards to the NJ “Drone” flap, the answer was “Oh!! Oh that! That was just some authorized/approved FAA drone testing. Just checking out, like, you know, stuff, and stuff. And various other stuff. And lots of other stuff too boring to let you all in on. No, seriously- it’s cool- no worries.”
Apparently we’re supposed to be dazzled by the longstanding, sagacious professional excellence that has, of course, ALWAYS been the FAA standard. Such an August institution! We should be more than pleased with that stupid, insulting response. Don’t we trust the FAA?
Of course, only days later, the same agency’s dereliction was responsible for the death of dozens of innocent people.
ARE WE REALLY SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT THIS ABSURD NON ANSWER FROM THE FAA?
THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF PHILIP J. KLASS
To "ufologists" who publicly criticize skeptics, ... or who even think unkind things about them in private , I do hereby leave and bequeath:
THE UFO CURSE (aka THE TRUTH):
No matter how long you live, you will never know any more about UFOs than you know today.
You will never know any more about what UFOs really are, or where they come from.
You will never know any more about what the U.S. Government really knows about UFOs than you know today.
As you lie on your own death-bed you will be as mystified about UFOs as you are today. And you will remember this curse.
Explore the possibility that some of the most iconic biblical events may have an extraterrestrial origin. Was the Star of Bethlehem truly a star, or could it have been something far more mysterious? We also examine Ezekiel’s vivid description of God descending to Earth—a vision that sounds eerily similar to modern UFO encounters. Could these ancient stories be evidence of alien visitations? Dive into the hidden connections between scripture and the unexplained, and see these age-old accounts in a whole new light!
I’m sorry but Jack and Luis are spouting the same lingo, the same demeanor, and the same offensiveness…they both told their interviewers “careful what you wish for” when asking why has this been kept secret for so long. We’re supposed to trust these spooks?
I hear common threads that raise the hairs on my neck. I want to believe they have good intentions, but won’t let my guard down because of that.
Im sitting out back of my and theres a huge storm about to roll through. Ive never looked for UFO’s when the weathers like this but seeing all the lightning and the sky light up this makes me think this is the best time to catch anyone up there? Has anyone every caught anything in a storm or hectik weather event
The reason we have disclosure is because those inside the government were forced to disclose because of years of the people not in government, questioning, research and analysing documents. By us asking questions of those who knew, and pushes for answers from those who wouldn't talk
Hey everyone, I want to share something that happened to me as a child that I always brushed off as a nightmare—until recently. I’m not making any claims here, but over the past two years, I’ve gotten deep into the UFO and abduction subject, and there are things about that night that I just can’t explain. I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if anyone has gone through something similar.
This happened when I was around five or six years old, back in Poland. My parents owned a bar and worked late, so I was home alone with my older sister, who was about ten, and my younger brother, who was around four or five. We all shared a bedroom. I woke up in the middle of the night because I saw a bright light shining into our room. Our old house had a strange layout, with rooms connected directly to each other instead of having hallways. To reach the living room, I had to go through my parents’ bedroom, which is where the light was coming from.
Being a little kid, I got curious and walked in, but nobody was there. The TV was on, but instead of showing any channel, it was just static—white noise, flickering and hissing in the otherwise silent house. I stood there for a moment, staring at it, feeling uneasy. Something about it felt wrong. The remote was nowhere to be found, and I didn’t know how to turn it off, so I left it and went back to bed. I pulled my blanket over my head, trying to ignore the flickering light coming from the other room. At some point, I fell asleep.
The next thing I remember is waking up again, but this time, something felt different. I was frozen in place, completely unable to move or speak. I wanted to call out to my siblings, but my voice wouldn’t come out, as if something was stopping me. Then I saw them.
Outside the window, I could see a figure, but my eyes were locked on one thing—their eyes. They were enormous, with deep, almost black pupils and barely any whites. The centers burned with an electric, flaming blue, like gas flames. They weren’t just glowing; they felt alive, hypnotic, pulling me in. I knew someone was standing behind the window, but I couldn’t focus on anything other than those eyes.
A strange sensation spread through my body. My head felt unbearably heavy, like it was too big for my body. A pounding filled my skull, and I suddenly became aware of a bizarre shift in time. Everything started moving unnaturally fast, as if my mind was speeding up while my body remained frozen. It was my first experience with tachysensia, though I didn’t know what it was back then. I’ve had this sensation multiple times since, mostly in my teenage years, but never as intense as that night.
I fought to move, to scream, to do anything, but I was completely paralyzed. Then my body started to lift. I wasn’t awake, but I wasn’t asleep either. I felt myself rising off the bed, weightless, yet still aware. My back arched, bending into the shape of a reversed U. And then—nothing.
I don’t remember anything after that.
For years, I told myself it was just a nightmare. But as I’ve researched more about alien encounters and abductions, certain things about that night stand out in ways I can’t ignore. The hypnotic, burning blue eyes, the strange paralysis, the overwhelming sense of an external force controlling me—none of it feels like a typical childhood nightmare. I had never seen anything that resembled those eyes before, but just recently, I came across a drawing by Barbara Barbatelli of a "Tall White" alien, and it sent chills down my spine. I’m not saying that’s exactly what I saw, but it was the closest thing I’ve ever found.
\"Tall White\" by Barbara Barbatelli
Another thing that bothers me is the TV and the white noise. Looking back, it feels like more than just an eerie coincidence. My parents never left the TV on static, and yet, that’s how I found it, flickering in the empty room. I remember staring at it for a long moment before I went back to bed, and I wonder now if there was something more to it.I’ve read that hypnotic regression can sometimes recover blocked memories, and part of me is curious if that would work for me. I have no history of mental illness, I don’t take any substances, and my IQ has tested between 115 and 120, so I don’t think I’m just making this up. But at the same time, I don’t want to convince myself of something that isn’t real.
I don’t know what happened that night. Maybe it was just a nightmare. Maybe it wasn’t. All I know is that it has stayed with me for decades, and now that I’m older and learning more about these kinds of experiences, I can’t help but wonder.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Has anyone tried hypnotic regression? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Was this just sleep paralysis, a bad dream, or something more?
Ok I will already say ahead of time, this is going to sound illogically possible, but I need to understand what just happened. Hopeful someone else saw something like this before in NE Oklahoma too.
Driving back going due west towards my town/home. I was coming from another town around 30 minutes away from me. The sky tonight is very clear; I can see the stars no clouds in the sky to speak of etc.
Approximately around 9:15-9:35 PM Central standard time, I see, driving/looking due west, a reddish like “sunset”. It was huge like the remnant of a sun setting and it’s all red/orange and kind of hazy maybe. The visibility right now in my area is 10 miles per Google.
This sunset was as big as the sun when looking down the highway type deal. If I can clearly see 10 miles away, and it’s big like the last remaining sun, this is not a drone, a plane, a flare, a car dealership light, a firework etc etc etc.
The area I drove coming back to home has in parts slight “hills” in the highway type deal too. We saw this at 9:00 PM at night. The sun set literally at 5:51 PM tonight. This appeared almost like you drive around a bend and you see the sunsetting or things like this, but this highway is pretty much due east/west. No major curves at all etc. So what makes this even more odd, my wife are gabbing away and then I saw it…I didn’t see it driving at this point, probably for about 5-10 minutes from my brother in laws home.
It’s there. Not changing colors. Not dissipating in hue or intensity or color etc. Just the color/hue of something like the sun setting. It does appear to be moving also straight west, but what’s odd too, is I only realized it’s moving the same way as me when the light is extremely slowly, getting a little smaller every second. My wife and estimated it was in the sky for less than a minute. Closer to 40-45 seconds I’d have to say.
I’m asking her repeatedly what is that, and she’s saying I don’t know the moon, things of this nature quick, to where we didn’t get a picture. Hell, I’m so baffled by it, I’m talking all about its not this and that to even think to get a picture.
And then it’s just gone. Like the sunset does, light, gone. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. I tried to draw a picture of it. The closest thing that we have in science to it would be a mixture of a solar eclipse and a sunset kind of together? Lol.
I am desperately hoping someone else saw this or something similar before.
I personally don't have any sympathy for the supposedly curious skeptics who take the topic serious, yet are still unconvinced and remain skeptical. Now, the type of skeptics who outright dismiss all of it, well I don't agree with it, but I actually see them as more respectable. It's crazy and insane and doesn't fit into their understanding of reality, that's fine.. I would just say to them, well why involve yourself with it then? The only skeptics who should find any interest with the topic are the curious ones. Or else it's just like trying to convince children that Santa didn't eat their milk and cookies and leave them presents...
But my main point of why I find these "curious, yet skeptical" people even more annoying, is that if they have taken this topic serious for a long enough time, and are still unconvinced, by any logic that should tell you enough that there is no substance to the topic. For example, if a local historian told me there was buried treasure in my back yard, and I spent years researching the history of my area, brought in metal detectors and back hoes to dig up my yard, and found nothing, I would be a fool to continue trying to find it and intrigue me.. Or on the other hand, let's say i was really excited to find the treasure, but I just kind of half hazardly looked for it. Maybe dug a couple shallow holes every now and then.. A disproportional level of laziness given the seriousness of the matter. Now clearly the UFO topic is a bit more nuanced than that, but it's still a fairly accurate comparison.
You can even ignore the mountains of evidence and testimony... Like Jake Barber said, the skies aren't classified, they can't redact your consciousness. From my experience, the UAP phenomena is not that unique or rare. Anybody who has the patience and adequate perception, will see a UAP with their own eyes. That's not to say an alien will land in your backyard, it's not on them to prove their existence to you. It's on you to a patient observer and come to your own conclusion, but they will show you glimpses to get the ball rolling..
