A mysterious object moving through the solar system has caught the attention of Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who believes it could be more than just a comet—and possibly an alien spacecraft. The interstellar body, designated 3I/ATLAS, was first spotted on July 1 and is now under close observation due to its unusual characteristics. Loeb, known for his provocative theories on extraterrestrial life, says the object’s path raises serious questions. It travels on a rare retrograde orbit, meaning it moves against the solar system’s flow, and aligns closely with the orbital plane of Earth and other inner planets. He estimates the...

Harvard science professor Avi Loeb is among experts fascinated by an interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS. Loeb suggests using the sunsetting NASA spacecraft Juno to intercept the object, which he says could be some sort of alien tech, for study. He tells "NewsNation Prime" that Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., thinks the suggestion is worth evaluating.

Stephen Hawking's chilling warning to humanity may be coming true after a renowned scientist claimed a 'hostile' encounter with alien life could be months away. Hawking, the famous theoretical physicist who died in 2018, warned the world that making contact with alien life could end in disaster for the human race. The late professor believed that actively seeking out extraterrestrials would bring on a deadly invasion, similar to how cultures on Earth have wiped out less advanced civilizations in the past. 'The extraterrestrials would probably be far in advance of us, 'Professor Hawking said in 2004. 'The history of advanced...

Vice President JD Vance is “obsessed with the whole UFO thing,” he said on a podcast episode released Friday. “What’s actually going on? What were those videos all about? What’s actually happening?” Vance said on the “Ruthless Podcast.” “I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet, but we’re only six months in.” Though Vance was not specific about which “videos” interested him most, there was plenty to see in the skies — and the headlines — last year. ... Some, including Vance, are still searching for answers about unidentified flying objects. He joked on the podcast that he would...

The Horten Ho 229 was a German flying-wing jet prototype developed in the final days of World War II. National Security Journal was given a guided tour of the plane’s remains at the Smithsonian. Often called the “Nazi stealth fighter” for its resemblance to the modern B-2 bomber, the aircraft was a radical design that was decades ahead of its time.

A mysterious intergalactic object could potentially be a “hostile” alien spacecraft that’s slated to attack our planet in November, according to a controversial new study by a small group of scientists. “The consequences, should the hypothesis turn out to be correct, could potentially be dire for humanity,” the researchers wrote in the inflammatory paper, which was published July 16 to the preprint server arXiv, South West News Service reported. Dubbed 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar entity was discovered on July 1...

I have always been bothered by the seeming perplexity that people have about the fact that we have yet to encounter intelligent life beyond planet Earth. It doesn't seem weird to me at all, even though I suspect life--even intelligent life--is not that uncommon in the universe. Enrico Fermi--a great physicist from the mid-20th century-- expressed the perplexity that many people have in what has come to be known as the "Fermi Paradox." At its most simple, the paradox is this: if the development of intelligent life is even moderately likely, why haven't we seen evidence of intelligent life elsewhere...

A Pair of Lawsuits Promise to Expose the Truth Behind the July 1996 Disaster. On July 17, 1996, TWA 800, a Paris-bound 747, blew up ten miles off Long Island’s south shore, killing all 230 souls on board. In the days leading up to the anniversary, I will share some fresh insights on this tragedy and the much too successful cover-up that followed.After 25 years investigating the destruction of TWA Flight 800, I have learned to temper my enthusiasms. That said, I continue to take heart when I see signs of life. Perhaps the most promising development in the case...

A dangerous misconception exists in the field of ufology that there are no astronomers who have seen UFOs. But nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, there is a long list of famous astronomers who have had remarkable UFO sightings. In 1952, J. Allen Hynek, the astronomical consultant for the Air Force’s Project Blue Book held a conference with a group of astronomers. He asked about UFOs and received some shocking responses. “Over forty astronomers were interviewed,” he said, “of which five had made sightings of one sort or another. This is a higher percentage than among the...

US military personnel captured an eerie flying saucer UFO in incredible new footage that has just been released to the public. Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp say the video was recorded by government personnel over the Afghan-Pakistan border in November 2020. They released it to the public on Tuesday. It shows a massive disc weaving in and out of cloud cover. The Department of Defense labeled the disc a UAP - unidentified anomalous phenomena - and it looks markedly different to other 'tic-tac'-shaped UFOs seen in recent military footage. The raw thermal imagery, along with two additional enhanced...

Some believe UFOs are nothing but figments of people’s imaginations, or at best atmospheric ilusions; others think they are earthly secret technology; while some are convinced that these unidentified craft are of alien origin (or at least reverse-engineered alien tech). But whatever these objects may be, the unidentified aerial phenomenon is a reality, and public interest in the matter does not seem to wane. So, another week, another ‘big reveal’, with alleged US military personnel footage capturing a ‘flying saucer UFO’ being released yesterday (17) to the public. Daily Mail reported: “Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp say the...

Robert Salas was one of the men on duty in 1967 that experienced a nuclear silo being shutdown. He was name dropped in the article so he's taken the time to author a rebuttal. He gives his perspective and I tend to think that we should probably read it as it's a good data point to add to the fray. X Post by Robert Salas linking to Google Doc.

Jews from Another Planet by Norma Zager “If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?” Carl Sagan As the year draws to its natural conclusion, I ponder about what subject might best close off a year fraught with the usual terror attempts, political battles, money problems and unfortunate, congressional bozo behavior that seems to color our lives nowadays. Checking out the worldly issues confronting us as we move ahead into the New Year seems rather mundane...

A tiny Pentagon office had spent months investigating conspiracy theories about secret Washington UFO programs when it uncovered a shocking truth: At least one of those theories had been fueled by the Pentagon itself. The congressionally ordered probe took investigators back to the 1980s, when an Air Force colonel visited a bar near Area 51, a top-secret site in the Nevada desert. He gave the owner photos of what might be flying saucers. The photos went up on the walls, and into the local lore went the idea that the U.S. military was secretly testing recovered alien technology. But the...

UFO researcher Rhys Dalton-Morgan, host of “The UFO Program” podcast, interviewed News Nation special correspondent Ross Coulthart last week about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the potential of an impending disclosure by certain governments and reports of a massive earth-changing event taking place in 2027. “There’s certainly something gonna happen in 2027, and I don’t know what it is. I’ve also heard 2034 and I’ve also heard other dates, much later,” Coulthart said. 🔥🚨 BREAKING: News Nation journalist Ross Coulthart claims that an apocalyptic event will happen in 2027: “Everybody’s telling me we’re on borrowed time” “I cannot begin to emphasize...

The director of the Guatemalan Astronomy Association (AGA), Edgar Castro Bathen, explained that the phenomenon observed on the night of Wednesday, May 28 over the south of the Guatemala City Valley, between Villa Nueva and Milpas Altas, can be classified as a UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon). ... The term UAP is used by entities such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the United States Department of Defense (USA) to refer to observable phenomena in the sky, space or sea that cannot be explained with current technology or knowledge, and replaces the traditional concept of "UFO". The object...

The Pentagon is seeking contractors to build and maintain a secure software platform to track data and investigations for its All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which handles reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) that may threaten national security. A new notice reveals plans for a custom case management system on the Defense Department’s top-secret intranet (JWICS). “The intent is to field this capability for AARO personnel at AARO HQ and for use at supporting organizations,” officials wrote. A defense official told DefenseScoop this is AARO’s first solicitation since its 2022 creation. UAP includes UFOs and trans-medium objects. “AARO currently uses...
