UFO sighting in NY

I saw this while leaving work. At first I thought it was a floating lantern, but it seemed to be moving too fast and the wind wasn’t that strong. It could be a meteor but it didn’t leave a visible trail. I also thought that it could be a satellite but in that case why is it red? It didn’t change speed or direction.

The 1994 Nellis UFO via Hard Copy

Is this the closest we get to zig zag uap?

I love this video. And watching it, it’s interesting to note the truth scattered in the hard copy story.

Zig zag starts about 8:24 in

Tumbling object seen in sky just outside of Boston

I was working in my driveway when something in the sky caught my eye. Looks similar to another recent post. This is in Massachusetts about 5 miles from Boston.

Bill Cooper: Dead (2001) author of “Behold a Pale Horse “

Was he a good guy or what?

His radio show was very interesting too… hour of the time or or something like that?

I’m mostly curious if there is any veracity to his claims? The book fact-checked since then? I don’t doubt, just wonder.

Extra-dimensional entities (demons) were his main thrust , and being a LARGE undersea /UAP eyewitness while in Navy intel …

Thoughts on the man. His character? His death? Whatever is helpful. Thank you all.

Why aren’t all of David Grusch’s claims classified?

One thing I really don’t get about all of this is how Grusch can even make the claim the government was in possession of alien bodies. If this were true, why are certain details classified while others are not? It just seems like a massive oversight on the part of the government.

Understandably he won’t say where we are keeping crafts or bodies or how exactly we collected them all, but he IS able to say it all happened?

Now it’s possible Grusch has explained this but I haven’t seen it from the interviews I’ve watched. I find it especially bewildering no one has even asked this question.

Eglin Google Search Discrepancies

Hey all, just wanted to share that while looking up the Eglin Case I became very interested in these two Google results.

I know there are other smoking gun actions that put disbelief on this incident not being UAP’s but I’m focusing strictly on the “balloon resolution”.

The one directly from AARO states that the military pilot who reported the incident says there were FOUR UAP’s and yet only took two photos of one of the crafts. Although, now the story was switched to being a light balloon. While I am not military, I can assume military vehicles are at least mildly inspected before use and the “inoperable video camera” does not make sense as a fighter jet having constant video seems as important as a Black Box.

If you look up how far a Helium balloon can travel the expected range is topped out at about 105,000ft and some change, from what I’ve read. Weather balloons can reach up to 60,000-100,000ft but they are not lit up by LED’s like a light balloon, and I cannot accurately find any information about how far light balloons can fly; but I can tell you they are completely covered in LED lights and the gas inside is Helium, and if you look at the official pictures, light only shows from the bottom.

Light balloons are perfectly round if they are spheres, and the picture of the supposed light balloon has a slight oblong shape, if you look up “commercial” light balloons you’ll see just two images of said object, while everything else is the round shape covered in lights. The two pictures are a close up with the bottom HALF and a long distant shot with a pinhole sized amount of light. What happened? Did most of the lights go out and with a tiny amount of lights somehow surviving being blown out? Low chance. The close up shot is clearly taken after the long shot due to looking much grainier. Commercial light balloons have a singular light across the bottom half so if the light went out there wouldn’t be a pinhole sized bit of light.

And guess what? The close up shot shows the bottom half lit up.

Not ONLY that, the pilot described the object as gray, paneled, with an ORANGE light emanating from the bottom, whereas light balloons are commonly rainbow or white. As he got closer his radar “malfunctioned”, so no video, no radar data, at the same time this object rose into the cloud cover which is around the time the pilot lost sight of it. There was also ”heat aura” emanating from them bottom that they described as”blurry air”, kinda like when you look at the asphalt in the summer time. Have you ever seen a balloon expel some sort of gas?

With distinct reflective and/or emissive properties in infrared. Blurry air, no smoke.

The pilot said this object was either moving very slowly or completely stationary. A balloon would float at a constant rate. So which is it? How does something be slow/stationary yet easily avoid you in the cloud cover

Weather balloons can reflect the sun, but the difference between a light balloon and a weather balloon is vastly different in the areas that have visible light exposure.

I still want know where the other three the pilot saw went. If they were light balloons would they not be in the same proximity and line of sight the whole time? Especially since they either moved “slowly” or not at all.

Also also, if you look up “Eglin UAP” on images you’ll get the couple of the supposed photos and then a bunch of random photos like a completely different UAP video, congressmen and military personnel, a U.S Fish and Wildlife post, some peoples LinkedIn profiles. You get the point. It just isn’t consistent, even if you look up a lawsuit or court case even those have a ton of pictures of the people involved.

I don’t know, man.

TL;DR: I think the balloon resolution for the Elgin Air Force Base UAP incident is a load of crap cop out excuse for another thing the U.S. Government can’t/doesn’t want to handle.

What convinces you that the phenomenon is NHI and not human built craft?

Hi guys, I’ve been following this topic for a few years now but my attention sparked fully a little over a year ago when the objects were shot down over Alaska. I’ll make this brief. It’s obvious that there IS a phenomenon, however as I research more and more I am constantly finding myself teetering between thinking it is the product of human built craft or thinking it could be NHI. I would like to know what people think and what evidence they believe is conclusive for either side. I am aware that there is a possibility that humans have built craft influenced by NHI tech, however what I am looking for is the proof that NHI were an influence in the first place. Thank you!

Mysterious orange lights in the sky

Around a decade ago, in the UK, I saw three orange lights from my back garden. They moved in really weird speeds and directions while one of the lights was stationary for a couple of seconds. It randomly came across my mind today.

There have been cases reported on the UK government website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ufo-reports-in-the-uk

UFO road trip

I'm organizing a UFO road trip with my partner this summer. We will be starting in Washington state, going through Idaho, through the Southwest, and returning through California and Oregon. We know roughly where we want to go and what places we want to see (my partner has observed UFO activity in SW Oregon and Ely, Nevada, so they will definitely be on our itinerary), but we would like to add to our list of stops. I would be interested in learning about any UFO hotspots (or even paranormal) that may be along our route if any of you UFO connoisseurs would be willing to share your stories or locations. Thank you!

Truth Too Strange for Public Consumption? Old man with TS/SCI+ Clearance on Alien History

Speaking with my old man after decades apart this is what he had to say on the phenomenon...

*Background he worked on the B2 program & worked at Wright Patt for over 20 years*

"Been researching and discussing the advanced aliens that were here as shown in out historical records. They were not pacifists. As they had several battles one destroyed a planet beyond mars, then the battle moved to mars where they stripped the atmosphere with weapons and the survivors from the multiple races then came to earth as a last resort. Only ape men were here when they came. It’s written they might lived 10s of thousands of years or more. They again had battles amongst themselves destroying most life, once with asteroids that when dropped on ice caps flooded the planet and then nuclear wars that wiped out a lot of their advanced tech. Some eventually got rescued but others remain. And are here still…"

Also I asked -

Me: "Did you have the ts/sci clearance ever?"

Him: "Yes. And a few more Levels above that…"

Fits in with the whole "regular people wont be able to handle the truth" kinda thing.

"They were not pacifists."

Just thought i'd share

Capturing The Light

This film has been on my mind a lot lately. I don’t know how many here have seen it. It’s available to watch for free on Amazon Prime and is only about 45 min long.

The story is about Dorothy Izatt. She has been filming craft in her backyard for 30 years. She has proof of it all. People came to visit and she’d show them. The message from these craft in the sky is the EXACT same as what the kids in Zimbabwe heard.

I actually think there is a farmer who has had a very similar experience as well and when the camera crews went out to see the craft, sure enough they showed up.

I’m mentioning this because of two reasons: 1- if you haven’t seen this film you should. 2- there is truth is consistency and this is about as documented as you’ll find.

https://youtu.be/gbzhOOMHco8 https://youtu.be/SNgQibDiw9k https://youtu.be/eFwC1O14zjY

This craft was spotted by dozens of people in 2021, All the official gov bodies, atc, airforce, defense research, denined any knowledge of it.

The sound was like fainter than helicopter, but deep and audible, silent than a helicopter, , flew for decent 15mins in neighborhood .

My explanation camouflaged new tech, blip type aircraft. It was fuxking invisible to normal eyes.

Black Vault: FOIA Documents Reveal AARO’s Authorized and Repeated Attempts to Engage with David Grusch

Submission stmt: It has become a classic example of "he said he said." The head of the Pentagon's UFO Office says the UFO Whistleblower ignored their requests to come in and talk. The UFO Whistleblower says that was all a lie. But now, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, the evidence is out. Text messages, Signal exchanges, and emails all tell more of the story that you haven't heard. Until now. What exactly was said, when did they say it, and who else got involved? Join John Greenewald as he takes a deep dive into these new records, and put all into a chronological display of how it all went down.

FYI: Yesterday the Webb Telescope looked at exoplanet K2-18b at least twice for two different groups of researchers. There is a good chance we're going to have a disclosure roll-out from the scientific community before the cloak-and-dagger types.

Here is an article from an automatically suspect source that seems to actually give some reliable details:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13353023/aliens-K2-18b-distant-planet-emitting-gas.html

Can be confirmed by checking the observation times for Webb, example Friday, April 26, 2024 at 3:59:44

https://webbtelescope.org/webb-science/the-observatory/what-is-webb-observing-now

Example research proposal pages:

https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science-execution/program-information?id=3315

https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science-execution/program-information?id=2722

K2-18b has been the subject of buzz in the British press since at least November of last year.

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66950930

All of you should be watching the roll-out and disclosure of this in order to compare it against the disinformation wall that is held between us and the UFO conspiracy. It will be particularly interesting to see what, if anything, the US military industrial complex does to intervene and confuse the issue. They seem to have a very proactive approach these days. I'm also curious to see what NASA's plan for the snake-handlers has been all these years.

I predict the goal posts are about to move 120 light years!

The confounding nature of NHIs - NHI/Human as Human/Pets?

While watching (of all things) this cat video (link below if interested) today I was struck by the similarity between how humans view pets and how NHI seem to interact with us. Here, I'm talking about Valee et al.'s notion of their behavior as puzzling, provocative, inscrutable, etc. Look at how humans view cats. Watch and see how we laugh at their puzzlement, their mistakes, their inability to comprehend what we are doing. We delight in making fun of them, tricking them, putting things on their heads, showing them something and taking it away to leave them puzzled. I'm sure I'm overreaching but the parallels jumped out at me. Of course, the notion that we are so inferior that we can be toyed with like pets isn't super-fun, but on the whole, seems to accord with the notion that NHI may be superior to us to the point of indifference or worse. And it goes a long way towards explaining why Governments and other are uninterested in telling the public what is really going on. I mean pets are so inferior to us that if we actually had the desire to bother with it we could wipe them out at our leisure. What if 'those in the know' think we are in the same position? Easy to see them being enamored of the 'ignorance is bliss' meme. Just a thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxS5E-kZc2s

I think I saw a UFO

Hi everybody, I just had a weird experience.

So, I (m15) went Ice skating with a friend (f16), 7PM - 9PM. We were waiting for our ride to get there, it was just after 9:00PM and everyone left, we were alone. We were talking about Stars because I love them, when she suddenly said "What's that?". I look over and I see the faintest thing I have ever seen gliding through the night sky.

This thing was barely visible with a few brighter white dots here and there, it was also absolutely silent, so noise was heard aside from us talking to each other about it. The thing then turned and it was in a boomerang shape, which was very weird to begin with. After a few moments, it seemed to be coming closer to us before turning and going behind some trees.

We joked that it was the ghost of the Ice rink and it was mad that we were still there, but of course, it was a joke. After we get in the car because our ride got there, we told them about it, and how weird it was. They brought up that it could've been a spider nest that got caught in the wind, but that doesn't seem likely, they'd be huddled together, but the object was that... I don't know, see through. It also looked exactly like dust, but it moved to perfectly to be dust, and it stayed together.

Once I got home (not long ago), I searched up what I saw and I got this: "Has anyone seen this UFO (boomerang shape, with dim lights, translucent, and hovering)?"

I was blown away because it was exactly how it looked, beside the hovering part, and I was freaked out. Did me and my friend see a actual UFO, or was it just some weird bird at night?? I'm so confused. (I am also based in Australia if that helps at all)

Most scientifically plausible explanations assuming it is NHI?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. The three most common theories are that the phenomena are extraterrestrial, interdimensional (I’m including time travelers here), or something from earth that we unknowingly share the planet with.

Extraterrestrial is usually thought of as extrasolar, as well. If a species from another star system is visiting Earth, they either have a lot of patience, or have propulsion systems that break the current laws of physics. Based on what we know now, the former is possible, the latter theoretical. They could also be from our solar system, but if that was the case, it’s likely we would have seen some sign of them in space. There are reports and anomalies, but the overwhelming majority of sightings are within our atmosphere. In order, the likelihood, given what we know is possible and what we’ve observed, is 1. Patient aliens, 2. Early aliens, and 3. Neighbor aliens. I would accept switching 2 and 3. 1 is the most plausible, though, and is possible with what we know to be true, so 2 and 3 are eliminated.

Interdimensional gets into the spiritual and theoretical. It is a possibility, but only in theory. I’m eliminating this altogether.

That leaves the possibility that they are already here, and we share the planet with them. While it sounds ridiculous, humans inhabit very small parts of the Earth, and there are vast spaces we know little about. The hollow Earth and reptilian hypotheses are fun, but from what we currently know about our planet, are extremely unlikely. That leaves the ocean. We know more about space than we do about our oceans. There are massive spaces that remain unexplored. It’s unlikely, but possible, that something we’re unaware of could exist there. They wouldn’t need massive technological advances beyond ours to get her, because they’re already here.

That leaves us with the 2 most scientifically plausible possibilities as patient aliens and terrestrial NHI’s. Both are possible without getting into the theoretical.

Patient aliens would require an advanced species with the ability to traverse vast distances, and the will to do so. If they were sending Von Neumann probes, it would make more sense, and that could explain the reports that some beings are biological AI.

A terrestrial species would already be here. They wouldn’t need the technology to cross the vast emptiness of space. They’d have had to go undetected for millennia, though. If we’re confining it to the ocean, Earth’s least explored space, that would have been easy for most of human history. We didn’t have the technology to start exploring anything under the surface or near the coasts until recently.

If we take the theoretical and fantastical out, I think a terrestrial origin is most likely (while also being incredibly unlikely).

A common theme we have been seeing and hearing since this came back out into the public eye is the USO phenomenon and the transmedium capabilities of the UAP that have been reported, so not only does there appear to be a connection to the ocean, it almost seems like that is what disclosure is focusing on.

Technologically, what would be required if they were our neighbors that explains what we’ve seen? Something that could manipulate gravity or something that could harness electromagnetism. Propulsion systems that could perform the maneuvers or speed reported in UAP encounters using either falls into the theoretical, but we’ve seen some advances that suggest that they may not be far away.

So, in conclusion, I think the most likely possibility (outside of secret military tech) is that they’re already here and always have been. Numerous personalities within and connected to the disclosure community have expressed a somberness, mentioned a dark component. I saw an interview with Leslie Keane where she seemed resigned to some kind of negative outcome. How would all of that fit?

Well, if this thought experiment is correct, we have an advanced, non human species we are sharing the planet with. They’ve shown interest in, or possibly fear of, our nukes. They take interest in and harass our naval resources and military sites. Maybe the dark component is that they don’t want to share anymore and we may not be able to do anything about it.

Anyway, what do y’all think? What’s your most plausible explanation?

My UFO Encounter in Khartoum, 2016: Similar to Arnold's First UFO

I had an unforgettable UFO sighting in Khartoum- Bahri back in 2016, on January 1st, at 8:33 pm. It was an experience that left me awestruck, questioning what I thought I knew about the world. I was alone, sitting on the railroad, lost in music when I noticed something peculiar in the sky.

At first, all I could see were the edges of the UFO, and it appeared transparent. However, as it moved towards the moonlight, the entire object became visible. Its movement was unlike anything I had ever seen – stable and controlled. I was so mesmerized that I forgot to film the sighting.

I turned around, thinking it might be a trick of the light or my eyes playing tricks on me, but there it was, clear as day. The UFO disappeared after about 30 seconds, right after crossing the moonlit area.

When I got home, I immediately sketched what I saw, noting down the date and time. I shared my experience with my parents, but unsurprisingly, they didn't believe me. I kept it to myself until a few days ago when a friend asked me if I believed in extraterrestrial life.

Describing the UFO with my fingersin the air, my friend encouraged me to sketch it on my phone's notes app. Later, he sent me pictures of Arnold's first UFO sighting, and to my shock, it was nearly identical to what I had seen.

I spent that night reading and watching videos about UFOs, realizing I don't know anything about the topic or ufos before my encounter. If you believe me, great. If not, that's okay too. I just want to know if anyone else saw something similar on the same date and time globally.
