What happened here? A UAP? A flock of birds? Can’t current radar systems distinguish a flock of birds from other objects? Jet fighters were sent to find out.
On the morning of Tuesday, November 26, 2019 around 9AM an object was detected by Capitol Police and NORAD radars over restricted air space over Washington DC.
According to CNN, “Capitol police said it was a small moving blob of something.”
Thinking it might be a drone they went to look for it and found nothing.
The situation lasted for about 20-30 minutes. Visitors had to take refuge inside the locked-down Government building.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command twitted around 12.50 PM that:
“NORAD responded to an event in the Special Flight Rules Area surrounding Washington D.C. this morning. NORAD directed rotary-wing aircraft to investigate and the event was resolved without incident. The defense of Canada and the United States is NORAD’s top priority.”
The U.S. Northern Command twitted on November 26, 2019:
“Senior officials across the interagency are monitoring the situation on a national event conference call. NORAD Command aircraft are on-site and responding. Plane is not considered hostile at this time.”
• In October 2019, Tom DeLonge’s ‘To The Stars Academy’ entered into a partnership with the US Army to study an exotic ‘meta-material’. (See previous ExoArticle here) So where did this exotic material come from?
• In the summer of 1947, (just prior to the infamous Roswell crash of July 4, 1947) locals found a wedge-shaped craft that had crashed near the White Sands proving grounds in New Mexico where two dead aliens were discovered and one that was still alive. One local man yanked a piece of the metal off of the craft as a souvenir. The man gave the piece of metal to his grandson who became a sergeant in the US Army. In 1996, this anonymous sergeant turned the metal over to Art Bell, the late host of Coast to Coast AM, and investigative journalist and UFO researcher Linda Moulton Howe (pictured above).
• Moulton Howe took the piece of bismuth magnesium alloy to Carnegie Science’s Department of Technical Magnetism to have it assessed. The findings at the time were inconclusive. Then she took the metal sample to the chair of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Austin Texas, Dr. Hal Puthoff. Again, the tests were inconclusive. Puthoff did suggest that another test could be done with special instrumentation. It was hypothesized that if you blasted the metal with enough terahertz of magnetic field energy, it would cause it to float. Tom Delonge repeated this in a podcast interview with Joe Rogan.
• Moulton Howe allowed ‘To The Stars Academys’ scientists, including Puthoff, further attempts to test the metal without success. Then in July 2018, ‘To The Stars’ COO and former director of Lockheed Martin’s Skunkworks, Steve Justice gave Moulton Howe a phone call. Justice said that the US Army might be interested in studying the metals. The US Army Ground Vehicle Systems Center had a Materials Analysis and Electro-Magnetic Spectrum laboratory. The Army was interested in blasting the meta-material with magnetic fields to elicit a “demonstrable physical phenomena.” ‘To The Stars Academy’ would partner with the US Army, and they hoped that Moulton Howe would come to San Diego and deliver the piece to them. The Army wanted to apply any resulting physical phenomenon to its ground vehicle applications.
• Moulton Howe estimated that she’d spent about $900 to $2,000 a year from 1996 to 2019 “in all the various things that I’ve done.” Finally, she decided that her only option was to sell the pieces of metal to ‘To The Stars’ and the US Army. Said Moulton Howe, “I don’t want to stop what may be the only way they’re going to be able to test this.” She offered the metal for $35,000, which the buyers considered a low figure. In its September 2019 SEC filings, ‘To The Stars’ reported that it had paid $35,000 for ‘exotic’ meta-materials in July.
• Downplaying the exotic nature of this meta-material, Dr. Chris Cogswell, a PhD in Chemical Engineering who hosts the Mad Scientist Podcast said that he believes that this type of ‘exotic’ metal alloy is “made by mistake in metallurgy facilities all the time” by using magnesium to remove bismuth according to the Betterton-Kroll process.
The UFO researcher who sold bits of ‘exotic’ metal to former Blink-182 singer turned UFO mogul Tom DeLonge for $35,000 explained to Motherboard why she parted with the artifact and what will happen to it now.
In 2017, the New York Times ran an article about a secret Pentagon UFO program known as the “Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.” The article noted that aerospace billionaire Robert Bigelow, whose interest in UFOs is no secret, modified buildings to house “metal alloys and other materials…that [allegedly] had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena.” Earlier this year, DeLonge’s UFO outfit To The Stars Academy paid $35,000 for ‘exotic’ metamaterials according to its September SEC filings.
Linda Moulton Howe with Art Bell
TTSA bought the metals from Linda Moulton Howe, a UFO researcher, in order to “conduct rigorous scientific evaluations to determine its function and possible applications,” the company said in a press release in July. In October, the company entered into a partnership with the US Army to research the metal and also study some pretty wild science, such as active camouflage, inertial mass reduction, and quantum communication.
Dr Hal Puthoff
In an interview, Moulton Howe said that she and Art Bell, the late host of Coast to Coast AM, acquired the metal in 1996, along with a handful of letters from an alleged sergeant in the United States Army who still remains anonymous. Moulton Howe has made some pretty wild claims about the metal: She says that the sergeant’s grandfather yanked the metal off a wedge-shaped craft that crashed in 1947 near the White Sands proving grounds in New Mexico. She has also publicly claimed that the crash recovery team discovered two dead aliens and one that was still alive.
Moulton Howe and DeLonge both believe that, by blasting the metals with a magnetic field, it will float: “They had a piece and they explored whether magnetic fields would cause it to turn into a lifting body. Different frequencies,” Moulton Howe said. These are the same materials mentioned by DeLonge on his Joe Rogan interview where he stated, “if you hit it with enough terahertz, it’ll float.”
In any case, the metal is of interest to not only DeLonge and Moulton Howe, but also to the US Army, which told Motherboard that it would be studying metals like it by blasting it with magnetic fields and looking for “demonstrable physical phenomena.”
“The USG and US Army Ground Vehicle Systems Center has broad ranging Materials Analysis and Electro-Magnetic Spectrum laboratory capabilities at our disposal,” Jerry Aliotta, a U.S. Army spokesperson, told Motherboard. “There are materials and technologies of interest that TTSA possesses that we will evaluate and exploit.”

• In the early morning of October 30th 1969, just before dawn on a clear night, John Cudby, the security officer at the Waipukurau Aerodrome in Central Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand was making his rounds at the airport. He was alerted by his dog to a “humming” similar to a vacuum cleaner. Then he saw three lights hovering about 70 feet above the ground – two green lights separated by a red light. The humming seemed to be coming from this “large object” in the air. Cudby grabbed a flashlight from his vehicle and shined a light on the object. He estimated the hovering object to be at least 60 feet wide. Then it tilted at an angle and “shot up into the sky”.
• When the UFO flew away, a hanger windsock began rotating and squeaking, and then “suddenly the sock stood straight out from the pole and then dropped, as if cut with a knife,” according to Cudby’s report. Cudby ran behind the airplane hanger to where the object had been hovering. The spot of ground where the object had hovered over was still warm, as was the air above that part of the ground. But the rest of the grass was cool and wet. Cudby, who has since passed, went directly to the local police station where he recounted his story in an official report.
• Cudby said that the object had moved southwest in the direction of the town of Pukeora. Two farming families located near Pukeora reported that they heard what they thought was a jet passing over, possibly in distress. The farmer’s sheep were unusually disturbed.
• A Mr. Grant was driving down a highway from Pukeora toward the Waipukurau Aerodrome that night. Driving over a hill, he looked down toward the air field and saw what he reported to be a “dark” object over the area silhouetted against the starry sky. Grant realized “with a kind of sick shock” that he was looking at a UFO. He described the object as circular, stationary, and about 100 feet above the ground. Then, said Grant, “it gradually gained height, and abruptly took off southwards.” Grant was not aware that Cudby had also seen the object and had also filed a police report.
• Cudby’s son, Mike, who still lives in Waipukurau, said that he remembers that his father spoke about the incident.
A prominent UFO sighting in Central Hawke’s Bay half a century ago remains a mystery despite what became common acceptance of its authenticity.
drawing of the hovering UFO
The sighting, at “close quarters”, was made 50 years ago on a Wednesday by security officer John Cudby during his rounds at the Waipukurau Aerodrome.
Following up suspicions a loose dog was on the grounds and concerns about sheep that appeared to have been herded into the corner of a paddock, the now-late Cudby had, on later reflection, had his awareness of something less natural aroused when he heard a “humming” similar to that of a vacuum cleaner.
With his own dog growling and spotting unusual reflections in the windows of a hangar, he turned to see three lights — two green separated by a red light — coming from something that appeared to be hovering about 20m above the ground. The humming appeared to be also coming from the “large object” in the air.
Cudby ran to his vehicle, and grabbed a light which he managed to play on to the object, as the humming increased to a louder whining and he became aware of the size of the suspended object he estimated to be at least 20m across.
“It tilted towards me and shot up into the sky at an angle,” he wrote in a report reproduced in later UFO research.
“The windsock on top of the hangar started rotating very fast and squeaking, and I was distracted by this, but suddenly the sock stood straight out from the pole and then dropped, as if cut with a knife.”

• In November 1980, police officer Alan Godfrey (pictured above drawing the UFO and human he encountered) was on routine patrol in Todmorden, England (between Manchester and Leeds; see map below) when he saw a bright light ahead. He stopped the car and looked at a diamond-shaped metallic disc with a dome and a row of windows hovering five feet above the ground. As he sketched the object in his notebook, there was a burst of light and he found himself 100 yards farther down the road. The UFO was gone. Godfrey realized there had been “missing time.”
• So Officer Godfrey underwent hypnosis where he recalled being struck by a beam of light which floated him into the craft. Inside the spaceship, he was bathed in an intense white light. A human-like being named Joseph, wearing Biblical clothing, questioned him. Godfrey recalled lying on a table, surrounded by small figures with bulb-like heads where he was physically examined.
• It was only a month after Officer Godfrey’s encounter that a UFO was reported to have landed in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, outside RAF Woodbridge.
• This is only one of several sightings which have made the Todmorden area a well-known supernatural hot-spot. On September 4th 2003, a witness reported seeing “six lights that split, at one point becoming eight lights, that were orange and red in color.” On April 22nd 2004, an object was sighted in nearby Queensbury. In the early morning on November 21st 1980, three police officers in Halifax saw a “very bright steel blue flashing light” high in the sky, moving left to right towards the north.
• On July 15th 1995, three people in Halifax reported an object hovering above their house. They said that the object looked like the planet Saturn, with a ring around it, red portholes and four blue lights. It seemed to come down out of nowhere and hovered just feet away. After five minutes, the UFO made jerky movements before moving off in a southwest direction.
Police officer Alan Godfrey was on routine patrol in Todmorden in November 1980.
He had been called out to Ashenhurst and was driving along Burnley Road.
Ahead was a bright light.
He stopped the car. Blinked once – and blinked again.
What stood before him, he says, was a metallic disc with a dome and a row of windows.
He began sketching what he saw in his notebook.
Suddenly, there was a burst of light and he found himself 100 yards farther down the road. The UFO was gone.
Later, under hypnosis, he recalled being struck by a beam of light which floated him into the craft.
There, he says, he met a human-like being named Joseph, whose clothing was Biblical.
Alan says that inside the spaceship he was physically examined and asked questions.

He said what he had first seen was a diamond-shaped UFO, hovering about five feet above the ground in Burnley Road before disappearing.
PC Godfrey said he realised he had suffered “missing time.”
At the hypnosis session, he described being enveloped in an intense white light.
He recalled lying on a table, surrounded by small figures with bulb-like heads.
That was one of several sightings that made Todmorden become well-known as a supernatural hot-spot.

• In early September, Mariano López was operating a camera drone and talking video of the landscape in Buenos Aires, Argentina. López happened to capture an object flying by at a speed so fast that it is almost invisible to the naked eye. It was calculated that the object was traveling at 2,026mph.
• Upon zooming in and slowing down the video footage, a small white object is captured flying out towards the ocean. (see 2:22 minute video bleow) The object enters the scene almost vertically and appears to then turn horizontally.
• The high-speed object has left thousands scratching their heads at what it could be. One YouTuber commented: “I believe every day we have these objects in all parts of the world which are practically invisible to the human eye.”
A strange object has been filmed silently speeding at 2,026mph in shocking drone footage, a conspiracy theorist has claimed.
Footage of the clip, uploaded to YouTube on September 14, recorded the object moving at speeds so fast the camera barely spotted it.
Mariano López, who was operating the drone, was flying his camera in the sky to capture video of the landscape in Buenos Aires, Argentina, when it appeared.
The UFO cuts past the camera at such a speed, the object is almost invisible to the naked eye.
Upon zooming in and slowing down the footage, a small white object is captured flying out towards the ocean.
The object enters the scene almost vertically before appearing to completely turn horizontally.
When YouTube owner Mariano calculated the speed of the object, he found the object took only two seconds to travel 2.11kilometres.
He then calculated the object was travelling at a whopping 2,026mph.
Since uploading the video to YouTube weeks ago, some 530,000 have viewed the clip.

On October 29, MJ Banias from Vice News wrote an article claiming that “QAnon and UFO Conspiracies Are Merging”. Banias promotes an alleged “disinformation expert” to make the case that questions arising from a linkage between the Deep State, UFOs and QAnon are harmful, and those investigating such questions are merely opportunists.
Sather’s YouTube channel has nearly 200,000 followers thus making him a juicy target for those from the mainstream media threatened by the growing popularity of alternative media sources, which are routinely labeled as “fake news”.
It’s worth mentioning that the “fake news” term was initially pushed by mainstream media sources wanting to delegitimize the alternative media which the US and the global public were increasingly visiting to inform themselves on multiple issues. The breaking point was Hillary Clinton’s presidential election loss, which was largely attributed to alternative media support for Trump’s campaign.
The “fake news” label has been subsequently used to demonetize, shadow-ban and remove countless alternative media websites, YouTube channels and social media pages to ensure that the 2020 election goes more along the path desired by those controlling the mainstream media.
QAnon has exposed the mainstream media as tightly controlled in multiple posts showing that many journalists get talking points sent to them each morning at 4 am, which are then used to craft their news articles. For example, in a January 18, 2018 post (561), QAnon wrote:
Those journalists faithfully writing up their (4 am) talking points to the satisfaction of their media handlers are “paid contractors” who are subsequently promoted, honored and rewarded in multiple ways.
This perspective promoted by QAnon helps explain why President Trump has been so strident in publicly attacking the mainstream media as fake news. He well understands that many celebrated media pundits are nothing more than hacks receiving 4 am talking points to focus exclusively on in their writing and news commentary.
Trump is the proverbial prophet warning of the coming Judgement Day, foretold by QAnon, that will expose the media hacks that are “paid contractors” for the Deep State.
Sather responds to Banias’ article with an entertaining Youtube video deconstructing the multiple fallacious points in his article. It’s well worth watching to understand why Banias and Vice were targeting Sather over QAnon and the UFO connection.
What I found particularly interesting was Banias’ promotion of Ben Decker from the Global Disinformation Index who is cited extensively as a “disinformation expert” who can get to the truth behind conspiracy theorists. Banias wrote:
Disinformation experts say that the intersection of conspiracy theories is common, and can be particularly dangerous.
“I think that intersectionality is really important when discussing various online conspiracy theories whose relevance is partially handcuffed to the news cycle,” Ben Decker, lead analyst for the Global Disinformation Index said.
Interestingly, when going to the Global Disinformation Index one finds no reference to Decker in the “about” page. The only references to him are five articles he has written on the GDI site since May 3, 2019. We don’t know anything about Decker other than him writing some articles in 2019, yet this is enough to make him a “disinformation expert” according to Banias.
We know that Global Disinformation Index has only been in existence since early 2019. It is a UK registered not-for-profit organization that acknowledges receiving funding from the UK government, philanthropy, and companies. GDI’s funding is a red flag raising the possibility that the GDI is a front sponsored by one of the UK’s intelligence services conducting online disinformation.
We do know for a fact that the intelligence community from the UK, as well as other “Five Eyes” countries, do conduct “online deception” aka disinformation. This was confirmed in a 50-page document titled “The Art of Deception: Training for a New Generation of Online Covert Operations” that was part of the Edward Snowden document dump back in February 2014.
The document was authored by the British equivalent of the NSA, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and shared among signals intelligence services from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The document is quite revealing, as summarized by the journalist, Glenn Greenwald:
Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable.
Destroying the reputations of different targets by the use of social science methodologies is precisely what the content of the articles by Decker and the Global Disinformation Index attempts to do. Greenwald concludes:
… these GCHQ documents are the first to prove that a major western government is using some of the most controversial techniques to disseminate deception online and harm the reputations of targets. Under the tactics they use, the state is deliberately spreading lies on the internet about whichever individuals it targets, including the use of what GCHQ itself calls “false flag operations.”
What Greenwald is warning us about is that the intelligence community has many online operatives creating false narratives where targets are labeled “fake news”.
The “Art of Deception” has three powerpoint slides that show UFO photos dating as far back as 1950. The fact that the photos take up three of the 50 slides of the “Art of Deception” document indicates that the UFO issue is covered in some detail in the training of online covert operatives in the use of psychological warfare techniques.
This is not a surprise to any familiar with a 1953 report issued by a CIA convened panel investigating reports of flying saucers, as UFOs were widely known at the time. The Robertson Panel delivered a report, the Durant Report, that recommended debunking the UFO (aka flying saucer) phenomenon for national security reasons. The Report stated:
The “debunking” aim would result in reduction in public interest in “flying saucers” which today evokes a strong psychological reaction. This education could be accomplished by mass media such as television, motion pictures, and popular articles.… Such a program should tend to reduce the current gullibility of the public and consequently their susceptibility to clever hostile propaganda.
The Report’s references to a “strong psychological reaction” and “gullibility of the public” show the CIA/Deep State’s emphasis on conducting psychological warfare operations to deceive the public when it comes to the UFO issue. This strategy is a national security policy that continues to the present day as reflected in “The Art of Deception” document.
This takes us back to the Global Disinformation Index whose content and unknown funding sources raise strong suspicions that it is linked to the GCHQ’s online deception program. By frequently referring to Decker and the GDI as authoritative sources on disinformation, the Vice’s Banias is, in fact, promoting “disinformation experts” that are very likely part of an “online deception” campaign by the British intelligence community.
By making the argument that the linkage of QAnon and UFOs is a harmful threat, Banias is merely providing a new twist to the decades-long psychological warfare policy of discrediting UFO researchers and reports. Banias’ use of alleged disinformation experts, who can be linked to a GCHQ online deception program, suggests he is either simply naïve or has begun receiving 4 am talking points.

• Trawling through pictures from NASA’s Hubble Telescope, Tyler Glockner of the YouTube channel ‘secureteam10’ noticed nearby a flying saucer-shaped UFO “watching” the space telescope in the background. (see video clip starting at 5 minutes)
• Tyler says in the video, “If you look in the distance, almost as if there’s something sitting and watching the Hubble telescope, there appears to be something alien.” “[It] looks like a flying saucer.” Glockner added, “[W]hen NASA is not busy cutting the feed and hiding these things from us, we get to see some pretty cool pieces of evidence.” “Could this be a satellite? It could be but I don’t know of any satellite that looks like a flying saucer.”
• One YouTube commenter said this was the “best UFO video I’ve seen in a while”. Another claimed that it was just a “lens flare”.
A flying saucer-shaped UFO has been captured “watching” NASA’s Hubble Telescope, a renowned conspiracy theorist has claimed.
Tyler Glockner – of YouTube channel secureteam10 – noticed the bizarre sight as he trawled through NASA pictures this week.
In his video, a bright light can be seen in the background of the telescope, above Earth.
He goes to zoom in and discovers the “craft” is shaped just like a flying saucer.
“If you look in the distance, almost as if there’s something sitting and watching the Hubble telescope, there appears to be something alien,” Tyler said in the video.
“This looks alien to me, it’s not just the light but looks like a flying saucer.
“It almost looks like it’s flying head on with the telescope, it could be something passing by.
“It looks like something was captured here in space – there’s almost more UFO sightings captured above Earth then on the planet.
“It seems like these things are buzzing by like rush-hour traffic and when NASA is not busy cutting the feed and hiding these things from us, we get to see some pretty cool pieces of evidence.
“Could this be a satellite? It could be but I don’t know of any satellite that looks like a flying saucer.”

• UFO “sightings” may have been relegated to tin-foil hat conspiracy theorists until the extraordinary and as-yet unexplained account of retired U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor and his colleagues of an incident that occurred off the coast of Southern California in 2004.
• CDR Fravor was flying a routine training mission along with another two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet on a calm, clear November day when they were instructed to divert on a “real-world vector.” Apparently, the USS Princeton, has spent weeks tracking numerous radar contacts moving in ways that defy explanation. The USS Princeton’s radar had again picked up these contacts and the Super Hornets were tasked with taking a closer look.
• Arriving at the coordinates, Fravor was “weirded out” by an object – with no visible propulsion system or wings – that accelerated, decelerated and, ultimately, disappeared from view at extreme speed. The Princeton radar reacquired the object 30 seconds later – 60 miles away. Therefore, this object must have traveled at roughly six times the top speed of Fravor’s Super Hornet. Later that day, a follow-up flight managed to capture the “Tic Tac”-shaped object on video. (see ‘Tic Tac UFO’ video below) No fewer than seven naval aviators as well as surface warfare officers witnessed this event, which was also corroborated by radar, infrared and optical data.
• Eleven years later, in 2014-2015, a series of similar events occurred off the U.S. East Coast with Naval aircrews reporting objects conducting extreme maneuvers that defied any known technological capabilities, again supported by sophisticated multi-source sensor data.
• The Pentagon has confirmed that videos of the 2004 and the 2014-2015 incidents are genuine. These pilots witnessed technology well beyond the bounds of science. The capabilities exhibited by these objects represent an astonishing leap forward from the status quo. The return on investment in fully investigating these phenomena could be significant, for a few key reasons.
• First, there are national security implications. These unknown objects might pose a serious collision risk. And by some accounts, these incidents are occurring with increased frequency. Such advanced technology should be seized by a world democratic power rather than an authoritarian power.
• Second, there can be no doubt that earth’s climate is undergoing tremendous change. Researchers are examining how clouds can be manipulated to combat climate change. Alternative technology that allows for indefinite flight time at extreme speeds deserves particularly close scrutiny.
• Third, the technology Fravor witnessed could allow a craft to move effortlessly through water, air and space at extraordinary speeds. This should prompt a fundamental shift toward the study of this new physics. The human inclination to explore the unknown has precipitated monumental advances in a short span of time. A well-funded and efficiently managed public investigation of this technology should be a priority.
UFO “sightings” are the stuff of tin-foil hat conspiracy theorists. That is, until one hears the extraordinary account of retired U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor and his colleagues. Fravor, a career fighter pilot, former squadron commander and level-headed skipper in an acclaimed PBS documentary, makes a particularly compelling witness to an as-yet unexplained incident that occurred off the coast of Southern California in 2004.
As CDR Fravor recalls, he, his weapon systems officer and another two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet were flying a routine training mission on a calm, clear November day. But their exercise is suddenly canceled and their two-ship formation instructed to divert on a “real-world vector.” Unknown to Fravor and his fellow officers, a nearby ship, the USS Princeton, has spent weeks tracking numerous radar contacts moving in ways that defy explanation.
For the first time, fast-moving fighter aircraft are aloft when the Princeton’s hyper-sensitive radar array picks up the peculiar contacts. CDR Fravor’s Super Hornet and the jet accompanying them are tasked with taking a closer look.
What happens next is best described only by CDR Fravor and one of the weapon systems officers flying that day. In short, Fravor was “weirded out” by an object – with no visible propulsion system or wings – that accelerated, decelerated and, ultimately, disappeared from view at extreme speed, “like nothing [he had] ever seen.”
David Fravor
In Fravor’s account, the USS Princeton’s radar reacquired the object 30 seconds later – 60 miles away. If accurate, this implies a velocity roughly six times that of the top speed of Fravor’s super-fast Super Hornet.
Later that day, thanks to a combination of luck and targeting skill, a follow-up flight managed to capture the object on video.
Without a doubt, the 2004 incident is unique. No fewer than seven naval aviators as well as surface warfare officers – hardly conspiratorially-minded nut jobs – reported first-hand accounts of this event. Perhaps most importantly, they are corroborated by radar, infrared and optical data.
A series of similar events occurred 11 years later. Naval aircrews operating off the U.S. East Coast reported contacts with objects conducting extreme maneuvers that defied any known (or remotely conceivable) technological capabilities. Like the 2004 incident, their accounts are reinforced by sophisticated multi-source sensor data.
The Pentagon has confirmed that videos of the 2004 and 2014-2015 incidents are genuine, ultimately drawing scrutiny from Congress.

• William Guy was travelling on a ferry across the Pamlico Sound on the Outer Banks of North Carolina when he spotted a “fleet” of fourteen luminous objects in a cluster in the western sky as the Sun was setting. Guy immediately began recording and the sight. (see 3:16 minute video below)
• The video begins with the sight of the sky at sunset. Guy pans the camera across the horizon to see the cluster of UFOs floating aimlessly. Guy asks, “Can anybody tell me what that is?” “We’re in the middle of the ocean, on a ferry.” Guys later said that the objects disappeared from sight before coming back some two minutes later.
• YouTubers commented, “Earth is under heavy observation” and “[T]he Earth is swarming with alien advanced craft.” One YouTuber skeptically claimed, “It’s not a UFO, they’re training targets for military aircraft.”
• {Editor’s Note Update] The thing is, I’m from Virginia Beach and have spent a lot of time on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This flotilla of lights doesn’t look like they are “in the middle of the (Atlantic) ocean” to me, as the ‘out-of-towner’ claims. He points at the sunset. The sunset is west. Then he shortly pans left to see the lights. This must be south-southwest. The writer reported that they were in a ferry crossing the “Pimlico Sound lagoon”. Well its the “Pamlico Sound” and it’s no lagoon. It is a huge body of water – so wide that you cannot see across it. So it looks a lot like the ocean. But its the sound. And they were crossing it from Ocracoke to Swan Quarters North Carolina as it says in the YouTube video description. Therefore, these lights would be situated over the Croatan National Forest. Beyond this forest is the city of Jacksonville, NC and Marine Corps’ Camp Lejeune.
A “fleet” of bizarre objects has been captured hovering off the coast of North Carolina.
William Guy was travelling on a ferry across the Pimlico Sound lagoon when he spotted 14 bizarre objects in the sky.
He immediately started recording and the footage has left the conspiracy world in shock.
The video begins with the sight of the sky, seemingly showing the sun setting.
William pans the camera across the horizon showing nothing in sight.
“Look, nothing in the sky, at all,” he said.
As he cuts across the sky the lit up cluster is seen floating aimlessly.
“Can anybody tell me what that is?” William asks.
He adds: “We’re in the middle of the ocean, on a ferry.
“There’s nothing around, no land, no nothing.”

• The actor Michael Sheen (pictured above) claims that his home town of Port Talbot in Wales UK, population 37,000, is a ‘hub’ for extraterrestrial life. Sheen is famous for his roles in films such as ‘The Damned United’, ‘The Queen’ and ‘Frost/Nixon’. Said Sheen on Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre podcast, “I think Port Talbot, where I come from, is on some weird alien map. It’s like some sort of stop off, it’s like a lay-by.”
• Sheen relates a story about his neighbor in Port Talbot: “The lady who lived next door, who was a very respectable lady and someone who wouldn’t make up stories, told us that one morning she was in the kitchen which overlooked the back garden. She said she was standing there making a coffee and a flying saucer came down and hovered over her back garden and then went. Of course, you think that’s nonsense but she was a very serious lady.”
• Sheen says both he and his father had had similar close encounters with UFOs. “One day I was coming home from school. I got off the school bus and I was walking up my street… and coming round the mountain [near his house] was a formation of lights… coming round and going out across the sea then disappearing.”
• “And then years later on New Year’s Eve,” says Sheen, “… my dad, who had not had a drink that night, went up to bed. He said he saw a thing in the sky with lights going around it – it was there for ages then it shot off. My dad is a character but is not someone who would make this up. I think Port Talbot is some kind of hub.”
Michael Sheen claims Port Talbot is a ‘hub’ for extraterrestrial life after spotting UFOs flying in the Welsh town.
Port Talbot in Wales UK
The actor, 50, grew up in the Welsh community before finding fame in films including The Damned United, The Queen and Frost/Nixon.
Speaking on Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre podcast today, Sheen said his hometown was a ‘stop-off’ for alien life, like the ‘Little Chef of the galaxy’.
Herring described Sheen as ‘the fantastic UFOologist’ as he joked about his extraterrestrial experiences growing up.
Sheen said: ‘I think Port Talbot, where I come from, is on some weird alien map. It’s like some sort of stop off, it’s like a lay-by. It’s like the Little Chef of the Galaxy.
‘The lady who lived next door – who was a very respectable lady and someone who wouldn’t make up stories – told us that one morning she was in the kitchen which overlooked the back garden.
‘She said she was standing there making a coffee and a flying saucer came down and hovered over her back garden and then went.
‘Of course, you think that’s nonsense but she was a very serious lady.’
Sheen continued by saying both he and his father had had similar close encounters.
He said: ‘One day I was coming home from school. I got off the school bus and I was walking up my street.
‘I was just about to turn up the path to my house and coming round the mountain [near his house] was a formation of lights.
‘I stood there looking at it thinking, ‘this is going to be some sort of weird reflection’.
‘There was a formation of some things coming round and going out across the sea then disappearing.’

• Recent public appearances by former U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor, the pilot who first encountered the “Tic Tac” UFO off of the coast of San Diego in November 2004, has brought up the subject of ‘Unidentified Submerged Objects’ or ‘USOs’. Whether optical illusions, mechanical malfunctions, secret government craft, or extraterrestrials – there’s a long history of USO sightings.
• In a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Fravor related a story that a fellow retired Navy helicopter pilot told him. This fellow was based at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico. While recovering spent practice munitions from the water, the helicopter pilot twice spotted USOs. In the first incident, the pilot saw a “dark mass” underwater, described as big and “kinda circular”. He was certain it wasn’t a submarine. In the Navy helicopter pilot’s second incident, a practice torpedo that the pilot was sent to recover was “sucked down” into the depths of the ocean in the presence of a similar underwater object, never to be seen again.
• Fravor also says that a 79-year-old woman contacted him and told him that her father was a naval officer based at the naval station in San Francisco in the 1950s. When she was a child, her father showed her a telegram that stated unidentified objects had been seen going in and out of the water at a certain location. Her father told her, “We get these all the time, and it’s always in the same area.”
• This topic came up in the conversation because Fravor himself witnessed a USO on the day he was chasing the Tic Tac UFO off of San Diego. In fact, the only reason he noticed the Tic Tac UFO was because it was hovering over a large mysterious object sighted underwater. Fravor described the object as cross shaped and approximately the size of a Boeing 737 jetliner. He described the water above it as though it were “boiling” or “frothing,” and said the USO disappeared after it caught his attention.
• As covered in Ivan Sanderson’s 1970 book: Invisible Residents, devoted to USO sightings, on April 19, 1957, crew members aboard the Japanese fishing boat Kitsukawa Maru spotted two metallic silvery objects descending from the sky into the sea. The objects were estimated to be ten meters long, without wings of any kind, and violently hit the water.
• In 1963, during an anti-submarine warfare exercise off of Puerto Rico with the USS Wasp carrier group, a submarine broke off from the formation to pursue a USO. Sonar operators on one of the smaller vessels followed the chase. The operators wondered whether the USO may have been planted there by the Navy as part of the exercise, except that the object was traveling at over 150 knots (e.g.: about 175 miles per hour; modern Naval submarines can travel at 40 knots maximum) “[N]o less than [thirteen] craft,” including anti-submarine warfare patrol aircraft, tracked the high-speed [USO]” to depths of 27,000 feet. Technicians kept track of this object for four days.
• In 2007, a guest on a cruise ship off of California reported to the National UFO Reporting Center seeing three “nearly spherical objects” “evenly spaced” and “softly glowing” hovering just above the ocean surface as the ship passed by them. As she watched the objects, one of them “splashed down into the water and disappeared.”
• Another NUFORC report from April 2019 stated that an object resembling a “small white boat” flew up out of the ocean near Imperial Beach, California, and promptly “flew south at a very high rate of speed.”
This past weekend, former U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor was a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Fravor, who was the subject of a New York Times article about his 2004 UFO sighting, discussed a spooky new sighting a fellow pilot revealed to him after they were both out of the Navy.
Navy Commander David Fravor (Ret.)
According to Fravor, the eyewitness was a former pilot of the MH-53E Sea Dragon, the Navy version of the Marine Corps’ CH-53E Sea Stallion, based at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, on the island of Puerto Rico. Twice while recovering spent practice munitions out of the water, the pilot spotted a weird underwater object.
In the first incident, the pilot saw a “dark mass” underwater as he and his team retrieved a flying practice drone. The pilot described the object as a “big” mass, “kinda circular,” and he was certain it wasn’t a submarine. In the pilot’s second sighting, a practice torpedo that the pilot was sent to recover was “sucked down” into the depths of the ocean in the presence of a similar underwater object. The torpedo was never seen again.
Elsewhere in the interview, Fravor reveals that a 79-year-old woman contacted him after his sighting went public. The woman explained that her father, a naval officer, was at one time based at the naval station in San Francisco in the 1950s. When she was a child, her father showed her a telegram that stated unidentified objects had been sighted going in and out of the water at a now forgotten set of latitude and longitude coordinates. The woman’s father told her, “We get these all the time, and it’s always in the same area.”
These sightings are similar to Fravor’s own sighting. According to the retired Navy pilot, the only reason he had seen the now-infamous “Tic Tac” UFO was because it was hovering above a mysterious larger object that was sighted underwater. Fravor describes the object as cross shaped and approximately the size of a Boeing 737 jetliner. He has further described the water above it as though it were “boiling” or “frothing,” and said the object disappeared after it caught his attention.
In 1970, biologist Ivan Sanderson published the book Invisible Residents. Sanderson, a noted student of unusual phenomena, devoted the book to sightings of what were later called Unidentified Submerged Objects, or USOs. USOs are defined as unknown craft that are sighted in the water, sighted rising up out of the water, or diving into the water. Sanderson catalogued scores of reports of USOs:
On the 19th of April, 1957, crew members aboard the Kitsukawa Maru, a Japanese fishing boat, spotted two metallic silvery objects descending from the sky into the sea (original emphasis). The objects, estimated to be ten meters long, were without wings of any kind. As the hit the water, they created a violent turbulence. The exact location was reported as 31° 15’ N and 143° 30’ E.

• In April 1978, rock singer Ronnie James Dio (pictured above, died 2010) had just moved to New Canaan, Connecticut with his wife Wendy. The guitarist in his band ‘Rainbow’, Ritchie Blackmore and Ritchie’s wife Amy Rothman had also moved to Connecticut along with the rest of his band. Late one night as Dio and Wendy were unpacking, Dio saw what he thought was a large moon shining brightly in the sky. But it kept getting bigger and closer.
• Their new house was in a forested area, and he could see a car driving down the hill toward this light. When the car got to the hovering light, the light went out. “It was as if someone had taken a black curtain and gone “woosh” and off it went,” says Dio. “I thought now I know that was the presence of a UFO and we were blown away. The next day in the newspaper 20-45 people saw the same thing and then heard a large explosion with light after it. So it wasn’t just me, and I know it was that. I mean, I am absolutely positive that it was that.” Dio didn’t merely believe in UFOs. He told Swedish journalist Mike Eriksson that he “wouldn’t even care” if the UFO landed on his roof and “took him away.” (see 2009 video of Dio discussing his UFO sighting below)
• Not to be outdone, a couple of months after Dio told of his UFO account in 2001, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore told Trouser Press, “We’re just bordering on being invaded by UFO’s, which I think certainly will come in the next five to 10 years. … They’re right here now, so it’s just about ready to happen, I think. They’re obviously watching us now.”
• Connecticut has a long history of UFO sightings. In 1639, James Everell and a few other men were rowing a boat up the Muddy River when a “great light” appeared in the sky, shifted in shape and maneuvered about the boat for several hours before suddenly disappearing. Everell and his companions found that they were a mile from where they first saw the light, but had no idea how they got there.
• There have been thousands of unexplained UFO sightings in and around New England. In 2018 there were 100 documented UFO sightings in Connecticut. As of September 2019 there have been 84 UFO sightings in Connecticut. Connecticut is considered one of the best places to perhaps catch a glimpse of a UFO.
This interstellar story about Ronnie James Dio’s account of seeing what he believed was a UFO from the window of his home in New Canaan, Connecticut back during his Rainbow days starts with a short history lesson.
Ronnie James Dio and Wendy Dio
In 1639, James Everell, an individual described by Massachusetts Bay Colony governor John Winthrop as a “sober, discreet man” reported seeing a “great light” in the sky. Everell and a few other men were rowing a boat up the Muddy River when the object appeared, shifted in shape and maneuvered about the boat for several hours. When it disappeared, Everell and his perplexed pals were a mile from where they first saw the light, but had no idea how they got there. This event would mark the beginning of thousands of unexplained UFO sightings in and around New England, including Connecticut. In 2018 there were 100 documented UFO sightings in Dio’s one-time home state; this year Connecticut’s UFO sighting count is at 84, and it’s only fucking September. As it pertains to extraterrestrial life truth-seekers, Connecticut is considered one of the best places to perhaps catch a glimpse of a UFO. And now that I’ve gone full Carl Sagan on your asses, let’s get to Dio’s UFO sighting, which likely occurred sometime in 1978.
Ritchie Blackmore
Swedish journalist (and the founder of the Deep Purple Forever fan club in Sweden) Mike Eriksson met with Dio in Stockholm in April of 2001 where he was performing along with Alice Cooper and Ratt at the Johanneshvs Isstadion in support of his eighth studio record Magica. The incredible, in-depth interview with Dio (which has been republished several times since 2001), was filmed by photographer Michael Johansson who came along with Eriksson for his chat with the formidable vocalist. At the conclusion of the interview, Eriksson lobs the question at Dio inquiring if he is interested in the “UFO mystery,” to which Dio responded with unbridled enthusiasm. Now, RJD didn’t just believe in extraterrestrial life, he was into the idea of a UFO landing on the roof of the building where the interview was taking place saying he “wouldn’t even care” if they “took him away.” This leads Ericksson to ask Dio if he has actually seen a UFO himself with Dio quickly responding, “Yes I have.”

• In September, the US Navy confirmed that while the Navy videos of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (or UFOs) were not meant for release to the public, they were authentic. John Greenewald, Jr of ‘The Black Vault’ website was the man that got the Navy to discuss the videos, leading to the video confirmation. The Navy, however, didn’t know what these phenomenon were.
• Similarly, there is another unusual phenomenon that gets far less attention in the press: ‘Unidentified Submerged Objects’. A ‘USO’ is a catch-all term used to describe anything seen operating beneath the surface of water that defies explanation. Legends of USOs have permeated the maritime community for centuries. Many UFO witness, including military aviators, have suggested that UFOs operate just as well underwater as they do in the sky.
• Christopher Columbus reported seeing a USO sighting during his 1492 voyage to the New World. According to Columbus’ log, he spotted “a small wax candle that rose and lifted up, which too few seemed to be an indication of land.” They soon determined that it wasn’t a light source from land, but had instead come from the sea. • In 1967, witnesses in Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia Canada, reported a UFO crashing into the harbor’s waters. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police launched rescue efforts for a ‘downed aircraft’, which turned up nothing.
• Earlier this year, Tylor Rogoway of ‘The War Zone’ website interviewed veteran U.S. Navy submariners, some of whom were SONAR operators with first-hand experience spotting these USO anomalies. That story can be traced back to Marc D’Antonio who, during a ‘courtesy ride’ on a U.S. Navy fast attack submarine, watched as the sub’s sonar operator detected a “fast mover” moving at hundreds of knots under the water in close proximity. Such a scenario of a fast moving, unidentified underwater object spotted by Navy personnel and then disregarded, rings true with veteran American submariners. Said one former submariner, “We were instructed that nothing is ever ‘unknown.” “[So] we usually logged it as seismic or biologic.”
• Such underwater anomalies typically go ignored unless they represent a threat to the vessel or an obstacle to the crew. The ocean is full of man made ships and living creatures. So encountering ‘strange’ objects is just a part of business when you’re operating a fast attack sub. One infamous unexplained ocean phenomena was the “Bloop” – a massive underwater sound recorded in 1997. (see 3:37 minute video of the “Bloop” below) The Bloop sound was so loud that it was recorded simultaneously on underwater microphones located more than 3,000 miles apart.
• As a policy, the Navy doesn’t investigate strange sonar readings, so unusual underwater phenomenon largely go unreported so long as it doesn’t interfere with the mission. But sub-mariner accounts confirm that ‘weird stuff’ is normal in the dark depths of Earth’s oceans. But ‘weird’ doesn’t necessarily mean alien, it just means unexplained… for now.
Last month, the United States Navy confirmed formally that two high profile videos allegedly captured from the nose of an F/A-18 Super Hornet attempting an intercept on an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena were real and notably, weren’t meant for release to the public. The Navy did not suggest that the strange craft shown in the videos was alien in origin, but rather did acknowledge that they truly didn’t know what they were seeing that night in January of 2015.
“I truly thought the official word on these videos would be ‘drones’ or something similar; but explainable,” John Greenewald, Jr, who runs the popular website The Black Vault, told SOFREP at the time. Greenewald was the man that got the Navy to discuss the videos, leading to a landslide of headlines throughout the media in the weeks that followed.
“We have official documents that have surfaced through FOIA that state just that. However, for the Navy to contradict that, and say that this ‘phenomena’ represents something ‘unidentified’ – that’s pretty amazing to me and proves yet again why we can’t lock ourselves into any one way of thinking or assume anything.”
Reports of unusual lights in the sky date all the way back to the beginning of recorded history, but there’s another unusual phenomena that often seems to coincide with these strange sightings that gets far less attention in the press: USOs, or Unidentified Submerged Objects. Like UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects), USO is a sort of catch-all term used to describe anything seen operating beneath the surface of a body of water that defies explanation. Legends of USOs have permeated the maritime community for centuries, and remain a common facet of discussion among UFO researchers to this day. In fact, many UFO witness statements, including those provided by military aviators, have suggested that the unusual crafts they’ve spotted flying in the sky seem to operate just as readily in the far denser medium of water — suggesting that these unusual objects can function beneath the surface of the ocean just as well as they can in the air.

• On September 25th, residents of the port city of Dalcahue in southern Chile, South America, witnessed “bright red objects streaking across the sky” and falling to the ground, crashing at seven locations around the town. Local resident Bernardita Ojeda had one fireball land on her property where the flames ignited a few bushes. Witnesses say that there was no noise associated with the impacts, nor did anyone actually witness the crash-landings. (see 2:52 minute video below)
• Scientists initially believed these objects to be meteors. But after examining the seven sites where the ‘fireballs’ silently scorched the Earth, officials and geologists from Chile’s National Geology and Mining Service ruled out meteors and have confirmed that these ‘fireballs’ were “not natural”. The report concludes that scientists “found no remains, vestiges or evidence of a meteorite” left behind by the “luminous and incandescent” objects. (see here for official NGMS report)
• Some experts suggest that the fiery objects could have been pieces of space debris from satellites. Others have pointed to eyewitness reports to suggest an extraterrestrial source. Astronomer Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics tweeted that since there were no obvious space debris candidates, it must have been meteorites.
• [Editor’s Note] Is this further proof of a space battle between the Deep State’s secret space program and the Alliance SSP being waged above the Earth?
Chilean officials are investigating several bizarre burning objects that crashed into the country last week. At the time, many scientists claimed the objects had been meteors. However, officials have now confirmed the fireballs that hit Earth were “not natural” and have ruled out meteors.
Last week, residents of Dalcahue, a port city on the southern island of Chile, took to social media with reports of the unidentified flying objects.
Some posted photos of the phenomenon, as the “fireballs” reportedly crashed at a number of locations around the town.
They were described by witnesses as “bright red objects streaking across the sky”.
Geologists from Chile’s National Geology and Mining Service soon arrived to examine the seven sites that had been scorched by the mysterious UFOs.
Bizarrely, locals told the geological teams said they not heard any noises associated with the impacts, nor did anyone witness the crash-landings themselves.The scientists just released a report confirming that the sites did not hold any evidence of a fallen meteorite.

• As a promotion for the launch of an ‘Alien Takeover’ themed event at the ‘Inflata Nation’ indoor inflatable theme park in Glasgow, Scotland, Inflata Nation founder Matt Ball compiled a list of Scotland’s strangest UFO sightings.
• Prestwick Airport – In February 1999, traffic controllers at Glasgow’s Prestwick Airport tracked a fast-moving and unexplained UFO on the airport’s radar. RAF Air Defence staff launched an urgent investigation and impounded radar tapes, but concluded that ‘no additional evidence’ could be found to corroborate the UFO. In August 2003, an eyewitness reported a UFO harassing a plane near Prestwick Airport, describing it as a “fluorescent green UFO, saucer shaped. The pilot could not have missed it as it was level with the plane but say 50 feet away to its left as they passed each other. The UFO started to tilt slowly downwards.”
• Glasgow City Centre – On May 11, 2019, witnesses saw an unusual light darting around the sky near the entrance to Glasgow Green park. It was reported as “[A] flying saucer in the middle of town. It just scuds around in the sky as cars pass by underneath, seemingly oblivious.”
• The Falkirk Triangle – In northeastern Scotland, the Falkirk Triangle area stretches from the small town of Bonnybridge, east to Fife and then back west to Stirling. This area has been a hotbed of UFO activity going back to the 1990s. In 1992, James Walker was driving from Falkirk to Bonnybridge when he spotted a shining, star-shaped object which was hovering over the road, blocking his path. As Walker sat in his car waiting for it to pass, the object flew away at ‘an incredible speed’. Others have reported seeing a ‘howling’ UFO that buzzed their car, while a cigar-shaped craft was spotted landing on a golf course. In October 1997, Falkirk District Councillor William Buchanan wrote to the then Prime Minister Tony Blair appealing for an investigation into the phenomena. The Ministry of Defence responded that it was ‘satisfied there is no evidence that the UK’s airspace might have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised foreign military activity’.
• Decky Hill – In November 1979, forestry worker, Robert Taylor, claimed to see something hovering above the woodland floor in Livingston, West Lothian. “It was a huge thing with a big round dome, a very dark grey color. It had a big flange going all the way around. I could see arms sticking out of this flange, with what I took to be blades on the top. As I stood here, two balls came out, two balls that I think would be about 3 feet in diameter with about six spikes. They came right up beside me and I remember feeling a tug at that time, a very powerful smell, a choking sort of smell and that was it.” Taylor lost consciousness and later woke up next to his truck. He arrived at home battered, bruised and with this clothes torn. The police recorded the matter as a common assault.
• A70, South of Edinburgh – In August 1992, Garry Wood and his friend Colin Wright were driving along the A70 between Edinburgh and Tarbrax. When they arrived at their destination an hour and a half late, the pair had a hypnosis session to see what happened. They recalled a two-tiered disc-shaped object had dropped down in front of their van, and aliens then kidnapped them. Said Woods in 1996, “I saw three creatures coming towards my car. I felt intense pain, like an electric shock. Then I was in some room. I saw these things like wee men moving about, doing something to me. I could only see up. Then this 6-foot creature approached. It was white-grey in color with a large head and dark eyes with a long, slender neck, very slim shoulders and waist. There were either ribs or folds of skin on its body. The arms were like ours, but there were four very long fingers.” The incident was investigated by the Ministry of Defence.
All eyes were on Area 51 last weekend, the United States Air Force military testing ground located in the Nevada desert.
Conspiracy theorists say the site is home to wreckage from downed alien spaceships – with a plan to ‘storm’ the military base attracting throngs of visitors to the area.
But you don’t need to visit Area 51 to find UFO sightings – Scotland is a hotbed of them.
And when it comes to high strangeness, these encounters give any Nessie sighting a run for its money.
The list has been compiled by top attraction Inflata Nation in Kinning Park, as they prepare to launch an ‘Alien Takeover’ themed event at their indoor inflatable theme park during the October half term.
Inflata Nation founder, Matt Ball says: “When you think of strange sightings in Scotland, you immediately think of Loch Ness.
“And the recent ‘Storm’ Loch Ness monster hunt – another Facebook event similar to ‘Storm Area 51’ – proves how popular that myth still is.
“But if you really want to see something odd, you should be looking at Scotland’s skies, not its bodies of water…”
Prestwick Airport
Glasgow Prestwick Airport isn’t just popular with tourists heading to sunnier climes – it’s also a jumping-off point for UFOs, reports have revealed.
In 2010, the MoD released a series of files which documented a strange encounter at the airport in February 1999. The traffic controller there tracked a fast-moving and unexplained UFO on the airport radar, sparking a flurry of activity.
The RAF air defence staff launched an urgent investigation and impounded radar tapes. But the report concluded that ‘no additional evidence’ could be found to corroborate the so-called ‘Prestwick incident’.

• In the evening of September 22nd, Ashraf Elsergany was fishing in L’Ancresse Bay in Guernsey, UK (in the English Channel just off of Normandy France), when he when he saw a bright, orange, spinning object in the sky.
• Elsergany said, “It was a very still night, the water was as clear as glass, there was no wind and no-one else around.” “I was… in the water fishing on my own” when a square orange light appeared above the rocks at the far left-hand-side of the bay. “It was quite big and was moving from left to right and spinning and rotating,” said Elsergany. “I didn’t think it was a flying saucer but I definitely thought it was something.”
• “I thought ‘wow this is really amazing’, so I pulled out my phone and started recording it.” With the object being so far away, Elsergany zoomed in on his phone as far as he could. “Suddenly there’s this whirring noise, like air getting sucked out of the sky.” “Then the light disappears, just like that – it goes upwards and vanishes into thin air.”
• Well and truly ‘freaked out’, Elsergany packed up his fishing gear and returned home to watch the footage he captured. “To physically see and hear it made my hair stand on end and sent shivers down my spine,” he said. (see 55-second video below)
• Elsergany was confident it was not an aircraft. There were no flashing lights. The noise was too loud for something so far away for it to be a helicopter. It moved unlike any flying object he had seen before. “I’m not crazy and I don’t drink,” he said. “I phoned the police and told them about it to see if they could find out what it was.”
• Elsergany said that until Sunday evening, he never believed in extra-terrestrial life. “’I have never believed things like this before but I really, really want to know what it was. From this I think it is obvious we are not alone in this universe, there is something else – whatever it may be – out there.”
Ashraf Elsergany
Ashraf Elsergany said until Sunday evening, when he saw a bright, orange, spinning object in the sky above L’Ancresse bay, he never believed in extra-terrestrial life.
‘I was standing one or two feet deep in the water fishing on my own,’ the Saints Bay Hotel manager explained.
‘It was a very still night, the water was as clear as glass, there was no wind and no-one else around.’
He said a square orange light appeared above the rocks at the far left-hand-side of the bay.
‘It was quite big and was moving from left to right and spinning and rotating.
‘I didn’t think it was a flying saucer but I definitely thought it was something – if someone else would have told me about this I never would have believed them.
‘But I saw it with my own eyes, and I thought “wow this is really amazing” so I pulled out my phone and started recording it.’

• On September 2, 2019, a pair of brilliantly white UFO orbs were seen hovering over Clayville, New York. Witnesses reported the orbs to the local MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) office.
• The Hudson River Valley is a hotbed for sightings of triangular shaped craft. Witnesses in Orange County recently flooded MUFON with reports of an unknown object dumping what appeared to be “barrels” into the river.
• Scott C. Waring of the ET DATA BASE website believes that the video depicts “cloaked” UFOs that are mimicking the color of the clouds which normally they travel behind. Waring notes that the video footage is 56 seconds long. If it were a CGI fake, it would have to be only 10-15 seconds in length.
• The US Air Force Research Laboratory is located 30 minutes away in Rome, NY. The research lab was moved to Rome from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as the center for advanced aerospace projects and experimental craft in conjunction with NASA, the Department of Energy National Laboratories and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
A pair of brilliantly white UFO orbs were seen hovering over Clayville, New York in September. This is interesting because we reported on a sighting of what appeared to be Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon over the Hamptons last month.
There is a history of UFO activity in the Empire State particularly along the Hudson River Valley. Apparently, this area is a hotbed for sightings of triangular shaped craft with a report of a recent sighting via WPDH. Witnesses in Orange County flooded the local MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) office with reports of an unknown object dumping what appeared to be “barrels” into the river.
The orbs of Clayville were also reported to MUFON by observers and later publicized by Scott C. Waring who runs the site, ET DATA BASE. According to the Ufologist, he believes that the footage that was captured definitely depicts “cloaked” UFOs that are mimicking the color of the clouds which normally they travel behind. However, the pair that were captured on video are outside of that realm.

• Kevin H. Knuth, a former NASA research scientist, has written a research paper entitled: ‘Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles’ which claims that the ‘Tic-Tac’ UFO spotted by two jets from USS Nimitz carrier group off of San Deigo in 2004 may have been watching over something submerged under water.
• The Navy jets’ encounter with the ‘Tic-Tac’ UFO took place in 2004, but only came to light in December 2017 following a New York Times report which revealed the US Department of Defense ran a special program designated to tracking UFOs known as the ‘Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program’. The Times article included a video taken by Navy fliers of the Tic-Tac UFO in flight, (or “UAP” – “unidentified aerial phenomenon” as the Navy prefers to call them).
• On that day of the UAP sighting in 2004, Chief Petty Officer Kevin Day saw a mysterious submerged object in the water. Knuth relates in his research paper that, based on Day’s description, the UAPs acted as if they “were looking for something by slowly tracking south at 100 knots or so at a 28,000ft altitude. The Tic-Tac UAP was then observed to be hovering with erratic motion over the churning water.” “An encounter with the Tic-Tac UAP ensued. After the encounter the submerged object was no longer present.”
• Knuth continues: “Clearly, the UAP was interested in the submerged object.” “It is possible that this object and others like it are the reason that the UAPs were in the area.” “Day reported that the UAPs appeared to be avoiding the Nimitz Carrier Group and its aircraft, which is very different from the encounters on the East Coast involving the Roosevelt Carrier Group in which case the UAPs seemed to be seeking out encounters.”
A former NASA researcher has claimed the UFO spotted by two jets from USS Nimitz may have been watching over something submerged under water.
Kevin H. Knuth
If none of this means anything to you, a little explanation. Basically, the encounter took place way back in 2004, but only came to light in 2017 following a New York Times report which revealed the US government had a special programme designated to tracking UFOs.
A video showed the UFO – which is formally known as a Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) and looks a bit like a Tic-Tac – appearing to fly in front of camera.
Now, Kevin H. Knuth – a former NASA research scientist – has offered a theory as to what was going on, based on the description of witness and Navy Chief Petty Officer Kevin Day. The new hypothesis is based on the fact Day saw a mysterious submerged object in the water during the UAP sighting.
According to the Daily Star, Knuth writes in his research paper ‘Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles’: “The thought was triggered by Kevin Day’s description of the UAPs as acting as if they were migrating.
“They also seemed to act like they were looking for something by slowly tracking south at 100 knots or so at 28,000ft altitude. The Tic-Tac UAP was then observed to be hovering with erratic motion over the churning water.
“An encounter with the Tic-Tac UAP ensued. After the encounter the submerged object was no longer present.
“Clearly, the UAP was interested in the submerged object.”

• The US Navy has admitted that the three released videos of ‘unidentified aerial phenomenon’ are authentic, each depicting quick-moving oblong-shaped objects. The Navy has yet to identify the objects in these videos. The term “UAP” has replaced “UFO” which still carries a lot of historical “baggage” and stigma, and discourages people from reporting a sighting. Journalist Leslie Kean who helped break the New York Times story in December 2017 about the Navy’s UAP sightings says, “That term (UFO) is so loaded at this point, that you are never going to change people’s understanding of what it means.” “All you can do is adopt a new one.”
• But this is not a new phenomenon. Humans have seen and encountered unidentified flying objects for millennia. The only thing that’s changed is how people have interpreted these events over the years. Here is a summary of four eras of UFOs:
• Biblical Beginnings – Diana Walsh Pasulka, author of American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology and a professor of philosophy and religion at UNC Wilmington reports that “Catholicism, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and all the major religions actually have pictures and anecdotes of aerial phenomenon.” In nearly every religion, there are “contact events” where an important figure makes contact with a heavenly figure. Moses and the burning bush, Mohammad and the angel Gabriel, and the Virgin Mary’s own angelic visitation. “These are human’s first contact with something they interpret to not be human or of this planet. And, if they are [not of this planet], they are de facto extraterrestrial.” Unexplainable phenomena can become religion.
• The Era of Airships – In his 2010 book Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times, French astronomer Jacques Vallee analyzed 500 historical UFO reports. The earliest sighting dates back nearly 3,500 years to modern-day Sudan, when a falling star “the like had not happened before” struck down the Nubians to give the Egyptians a military victory. These mysterious sightings dot human history and culminate in Dubuque, Iowa in 1879 when a “large, unexplained airship” was visible for an hour before it “disappeared on the horizon.”
• According to Pasulka, by the late 19th century humans began to shift their interpretation of the unknown from a religious framework to a technological one. In 1896 and 1897, mysterious “airships” were seen all over the U.S. with many witnesses signing affidavits. Thomas Edison remarked “it is absolutely impossible to imagine that a man could construct a successful airship and keep the matter a secret.” But by the late 19th century, hydrogen-filled airships were in development.
• The Dawn of the UFO – Late into World War II, American fighter pilots started observing orange, glowing lights they dubbed “foo fighters”. Rumors circulated about the Nazi’s using advanced technology and even establishing a lunar base. But American scientists explained it away as “electrostatic phenomena”. Then in 1947, Kenneth Arnold saw strange round craft flying in formation in excess of 1,000 miles per hour. Again, the Army dismissed it as a mirage or hallucination. But others came forward to say they had also seen similar aerial phenomenon.
• A few years later, the Air Force coined the term ‘UFO’ and it was prominently used in the Robertson Report, the same scientific panel that dismissed the ‘foo fighters’. The convenient excuse for these UFOs became the Soviet’s testing of secret weapons. But the US military brass “wrote that off pretty early on because of the extreme sophistication of the technology,” says Kean. “It was unimaginable that the Russians could have something like this.”
• An Extraterrestrial Threat? – The US Air Force created a secret project code-named “Sign” to investigate these UFO incidents. Kean says that there were “so many documents that show at the highest levels [the U.S. military] didn’t know what they were.” Some believed that these aerial phenomena were not from this planet. Then the July 1952 sightings over Washington D.C. convinced the government that the phenomenon could not be ignored. The military told the FBI that “the objects sighted may possibly be ships from another planet such as Mars”. The military told the public was that there was no “conceivable threat to the United States”, while they secretly feared a national security threat. Says Kean, “They just didn’t know what else to do at that point.”
• The Mystery Remains – The Robertson Panel in 1953 determined to debunk UFO sightings as either man-made or natural phenomenon. And that’s exactly what federal authorities did for more than six decades. But recent events suggest a new government strategy in the works. As of the 2017 New York Times article, the government confirmed that it had been investigating the UFO/UAP phenomenon in a $22 million Pentagon program that officially ended in 2012, but insiders said it continued until 2017 when its head, Luis Elizondo, resigned. The program studied physical effects from encounters with the objects and the theoretical technology that could enable the UAPs to perform as they did. But most interesting was that the program had recovered materials from these UAPs.
• Kean thinks there is a lot of research going on behind-the-scenes. As it is presumed that the U.S. isn’t the only country in possession of UAP materials, there is a secretive global race associated with this research. Says Kean, “From what I’ve been told, it’s a competitive thing. Whoever understands the technology first has a real advantage. My sense of it is that there’s an undercurrent of competition among Russia, China, and the U.S.”
• Sources have also told her that the physics of how these objects move has already been cracked. “What they’ve figured out is very futuristic,” says Kean. “[T]hey can understand how it’s done.” Scientists and medical experts are also attempting to understand the biological effects on those humans who’ve come close to these phenomenon.
• More than two-thirds of Americans believe that the US government knows more about UFOs than they are telling the public. It’s becoming common to see UFO videos on YouTube. But are they extraterrestrial? “It’s a valid hypothesis,” says Kean. Or could they be explained as inter-dimensional, or time travelers, or super-secret weapons or aircraft developed by another nation on this planet? What was a mystery in ancient times remains a mystery today.
This past week, the U.S. Navy confirmed that several videos—two of which were first released by The New York Times in 2017 depicting so-called “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP)—are authentic. The three videos, (another was later published by The Washington Post), each depicting quick-moving oblong-shaped objects, were shot by Navy pilots during training exercises in 2004 and 2015. The Navy has yet to identify the objects in the video, and along with the Department of Defense, said the videos should have never been made public.
While a “UAP” may be an unfamiliar term, that’s sort of the point. UAPs are essentially the new UFO—but with a lot less historical baggage. A Navy spokesman told The Washington Post that the acronym “UFO” carries so much stigma that it discourages someone from reporting a sighting.
“That term is so loaded at this point, that you are never going to change people’s understanding of what it means,” journalist Leslie Kean, who co-wrote the 2017 New York Times investigation into the Pentagon’s UFO (or UAP) program, tells Popular Mechanics. “All you can do is adopt a new one.”
But humans didn’t just start seeing UFOs darting around above our heads in just the past few weeks…or in 2015, 2004, 1947, or even 1639. Humans have seen and encountered unidentified flying objects for millennia.
BIBLICAL BEGINNINGS
Unidentified flying objects have been recorded throughout human history. The only thing that’s changed is how people—stretched across thousands of years—have interpreted these unexplainable events.
“Catholicism, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and all the major religions actually have pictures and anecdotes of ariel phenomenon,” Diana Walsh Pasulka, author of American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology and a professor of philosophy and religion at UNC Wilmington tells Popular Mechanics.
Some of them were comets, asteroids, meteors, and other atmospheric optical phenomena that were scientifically unknown to our ancient ancestors, but others still defy modern explanations.
Pasulka explains in nearly every religion, there are “contact events” where an important figure makes contact with a heavenly figure. Moses and the burning bush, Mohammad and the angel Gabriel, and the Virgin Mary’s own angelic visitation.
“These are human’s first contact with something they interpret to not be human or of this planet. And, if they are [not of this planet], they are de facto extraterrestrial.”
Pasulka says the Torah’s tale of Jacob’s fight with an angel is a good example of an encounter with aerial phenomenon that was turned into a religious narrative. “When you go back to the original source and read it in its original language… it wouldn’t look like what the artists’ rendition of it are in Western history,” says Pasulka, “It would look like he’s fighting some kind of being from outer space.”
Pasulka isn’t saying that a biblical figure fought an alien and it turned into a religious text, but that vision of a figure descending from the sky could have come from a shared, human experience or observation. When religion is a lens to explain the universe, unexplainable phenomena can become religion.

• Former police detective-turned UFO hunter, Gary Heseltine says that the US government is aware of the many snake-like UFOs that have been spotted across the country and are monitoring them.
• Over the past several months, people from all parts of the US have claimed to have captured bizarre objects in the skies on camera, which bear similarities to snakes in their movement. There was a snake UFO sighting in June over the Mojave Desert in California. Since then there have also been such sightings over Wyoming and New York. Heseltine says that cigar-shaped UFOs have been seen for decades. But these are ‘snake’ like objects that move like it was “alive”. “These sightings can be rare and have been seen around the world from time to time, particularly in South American countries like Mexico and Peru.”
• Retired after 24 years with the British Transport Police, Heseltine now runs the Police Reporting UFO Sightings database where he claims to have more than 500 reports of UFO sightings from police officers dating back to 1901. He describes himself as the UK’s leading researcher UFO sightings. Heseltine says that he has “met many people who were formerly military pilots” who have had had UFO encounters. “There is no doubt in my mind that a small proportion of UFO reports involve ET visitation.”
• Heseltine claims that the US military and government have “controlled the UFO field worldwide since the 1940s”. “I suspect that we only know 10% of the truth about UFOs and ET contact which means 90% is still in the secret world of military intelligence.” “I certainly believe that the US government and military know much more about ET visitation.”
The US government is likely aware of the snake-like UFOs that have been spotted across the country and are monitoring them, a former police detective has revealed.
Over the past several months, people from all parts of the US have claimed to have captured bizarre objects in the skies on camera, which bear similarities to snakes in their movement.
The sightings started in June, when a popular YouTuber was shocked to discover a bright light above the Mojave Desert in California.
Since then, they have supposedly been spotted during a meteor shower in Wyoming as well as over New York moving like it was “alive”.
After the sightings exploded, Daily Star Online asked Detective Constable-turned UFO hunter Gary Heseltine his thoughts on the mysterious “craft”.
“Cigar-shaped UFOs have been seen for decades,” he told this site.
“Occasionally some reports involve ‘snake’ like objects.

• Spencer Jackson, 52, from Wisbech (Fens of Cambridgeshire, England) was driving along the A142 in the early hours of Sunday morning September 8th when he saw an object falling from the sky. Spencer claims the space craft “was like nothing he’s ever seen before”.
• “When I got near Wimblington/Chatteris I saw something falling from the sky,” said Jackson. “It was this bright white, almost silver color – brighter than anything I’ve ever seen.” “It wasn’t a plane or a meteor.” “It was coming down at an angle.” “It was bigger than a truck.” “It was huge.”
• Spencer says the object vanished before it hit the ground. “It looked as though it was breaking apart as it came down, but then it was nowhere to be seen.” Spencer who works on a business park near Haverhill, said his colleague, who was coming from the opposite side of the county, also claimed to see “the long white thing fall [from the sky] and disintegrate”.
• “My wife has been laughing at me, but I’m not mad.”
A man got the shock of his life this weekend, when he spotted a UFO “bigger than a truck” on his way to work.
Spencer Jackson, 52, from Wisbech claims he saw the mysterious flying object falling from the sky while he was driving along the A142 in the early hours of Sunday morning (September 8).
Despite his wife’s initial disbelief, Spencer claims the space craft “was like nothing he’s ever seen before”.
Speaking to CambridgeshireLive, Spencer said: “I can’t explain what I saw – but it fell from the sky.
“It wasn’t a plane or a meteor.
“It was coming down at an angle, (on a clock face from 10-4) it was huge.
“I’ve looked on Youtube and I can’t find anything which looks the same.
“British Aersopace or the Ministry of Defence must know something – it was so big. ”
Spencer also said he wished he’d had someone in the car with him to get a picture of the object.
“I was driving to work at about 5:25am, the sun was just coming up and I was driving from Wisbech along the A142.
“When I got near Wimblington/Chatteris I saw something falling from the sky.
“Now this is Fenland and it’s a long, flat, wide open bit of road.
“It was this bright white, almost silver colour – brighter than anything I’ve ever seen.

• British pilots have reported dozens of “near misses” with UFOs in the skies over the United Kingdom. Investigations by the UK Airprox Board showed 36 such near misses involving aircraft and ‘unknown objects’ since May 2017 – with nearly a quarter of them involving a “high risk” of collision.
• On July 5, 2018 at around 9:30 am, the pilot of a small propeller aircraft reported a small “rectangle or elliptical object pass 500 to 1,000-ft below” the plane as he was cruising at around 16,000-ft about 10 nautical miles north of Birmingham. “There was no time to take any avoiding action.”
• The pilot of an Airbus A321 was flying at around 900-ft on final approach to Birmingham Airport “when he saw an object pass directly beneath the aircraft”. The pilot said that the object, which passed about 25 feet below the plane, “was either some sort of balloon or drone”. The Board listed this one as a category ‘A’ high risk of collision event.
• The Civil Aviation Authority says the vast majority of reports involved drones, model aircraft or balloons – although it is against the law to fly drones above 400-ft and close to airports.
• Nick Pope, who investigated UFO sightings for the Ministry of Defence in the 1990s, says the authorities may be “missing a trick by being too quick to blame drones”. Most unidentified objects were sighted at altitudes much higher than drones would typically or can legally be flown.
• The UK Airprox Board has a significant number of such accounts and there are numerous reports in the MoD’s UFO files. Pope says that, “In most cases, sightings turn out to be birds, weather balloons, plastic bags or bin liners, or Chinese lanterns, while some are indeed attributable to drones. However, other cases remain unexplained even after thorough investigation, and this is of concern.” “[I]t raises important defense, national security and – as we see here – air safety issues.”
• Dr David Clarke, from the Centre for Contemporary Legend at Sheffield Hallam University, is not convinced the sightings are of intergalactic spacecraft. “Things that are unexplained are likely to be natural phenomenon – not aliens from other planets.”
• David Taylor of the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena believes we should be cautious about witness testimonies of strange objects in the sky. “The majority of all anomalous reports – I would say around 95 per cent – are explainable in rational terms, either with known phenomena (misidentification, drones, birds, military tests etc.) and currently little understood phenomena (ball lightning, earthquake lights etc).” But, Taylor says, “[W]e must resist the temptation to dismiss them all out of hand.”
A close encounter with a mystery object in the skies near Birmingham was among dozens of baffling near misses reported by pilots in UK airspace, a Newsquest data investigation has revealed.
Investigations carried out by the UK Airprox Board show 36 such near misses involving aircraft and ‘unknown objects’ have been reported in UK skies since May 2017 – and nearly a quarter involved a high risk of collision.
One of the reports tells how the pilot of a BE90 small propeller aircraft saw a “rectangle or elliptical object pass 500 to 1,000-ft below” the plane as he was cruising at around 16,000-ft about 10 nautical miles north of Birmingham.
The incident happened on July 5, 2018, at around 9.30am, and the report states the pilot estimated the object to be 50-100cm long and it was “either hovering or travelling in the opposite direction” but “he only saw it for about 2 seconds before it passed underneath the aircraft”.
The Board, which monitors close calls between aircraft and other objects in the skies such as drones and balloons, determined the risk of collision was low but the report stated: “There was no time to take any avoiding action.”
Another incident involving an ‘unknown object’ was listed as a category A high risk of collision event and the report says the pilot of an Airbus A321 was flying at around 900-ft on final approach to Birmingham Airport “when he saw an object pass directly beneath the aircraft”.
It says the reported separation between the aircraft and the unidentified object was just 25-ft vertically and it adds that the pilot “thought it was either some sort of balloon or drone”.
The Board concluded there had been a definite risk of collision but it was not able to ascertain whether the object was a drone or a balloon so it was listed as ‘unknown’.

• The US Navy has confirmed that, while they should never been released to the public, the three online videos taken by Navy pilots of UFOs: the “FLIR1” (aka “Tic Tac”), “Gimbal”, and “GoFast”, are indeed genuine.
• (The “FLIR1”/ “Tic Tac” video was taken November 14, 2004 over the Pacific Ocean off of the coast of San Diego. The “GoFast” video was taken January 21, 2015 over the Atlantic Ocean off of Virginia, and the “Gimbal” video was taken January 21, 2015 over the Atlantic Ocean off of Florida.) In the videos, air crews debate what the objects are and where they came from.
• The videos were released by The New York Times and ‘To The Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences’, a UFO research group headed by former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge.
• In each case, the UFOs (or ‘UAPs’ – ‘unidentified aerial phenomenon’) undertook aerial maneuvers that aren’t possible with current aviation technology. In the 2004 incident, according to The New York Times article, the ‘Tic Tac UFO’ “appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering. Then they either dropped out of radar range or shot straight back up.”
• The Department of Defense told The Black Vault website that the videos were unclassified but never cleared for public release, and that there had been no review process within the Pentagon for releasing them. The Pentagon now says the aerial objects in the videos are simply unidentified, and for now, unexplained. The Navy is pointedly not saying the objects are flying saucers or otherwise controlled by aliens.
• [Editor’s Note] And the full disclosure of the Deep State government cover-up of a flourishing extraterrestrial presence takes another step forward.
The U.S. Navy has confirmed that three online videos purportedly showing UFOs are genuine. The service says the videos, taken by Navy pilots, show “unexplained aerial phenomena,” but also states that the clips should have never been released to the public in the first place.
The three videos in question are titled “FLIR1,” “Gimbal,” and “GoFast.” They show two separate encounters between Navy aircraft and UFOs.
One video was taken in 2015 off the East Coast by a F/A-18F fighter jet using the aircraft’s onboard Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) Pod. The other clip, also recorded with a Super Hornet ATFLIR pod, was taken off the coast of California in 2004 by pilots flying from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. In the videos, air crews loudly debate what the objects are and where they came from.
The videos were released for public viewing by The New York Times and To The Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences, a UFO research group from former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge.
In each case, the objects in the videos undertook aerial maneuvers that aren’t possible with current aviation technology. In the 2004 incident, according to The New York Times, the objects “appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering. Then they either dropped out of radar range or shot straight back up.”

A cigar shaped UFO was videotaped near Orlando Florida on Sept 12, 2019 by my confidential source JP, who I have known since 2008. The video shows a cigar shaped craft that is illuminated during the daylight. It has no apparent wings or tail, and is filmed moving away from JP who is taking the video from inside his car. It is clearly no reflection from inside the car and is not a helicopter or drone.
The YouTube video features my commentary of the original video JP sent along with a zoom of the craft. You can watch the original video along with a zoom version below. Note there has been no enhancements of the original other than the zoom feature used in the final portion of the video.
What follows is a screenshot of the cigar shaped craft in the video, along with a magnified copy as well as an auto-contrasted copy being added for comparative purposes. The zoom and contrast shows that the craft has no wings or tail section, and is emitting no contrail.
JP has been sending me photos and videos of UFOs he has witnessed near MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa and Orlando, Florida since August 2017. He has photographed flying triangle, rectangle, disk and cigar shaped antigravity craft in the vicinity of military facilities. According to JP’s information these facilities are used by a USAF secret space program that is working closely with human-looking “Nordic” extraterrestrials.
According to JP the Nordics operate both cigar and disk shaped craft which he has photographed both near MacDill AFB and in Orlando as I have discussed in previous articles that are available here and here.
You can learn more about JP’s photos and videos of antigravity craft belonging to an USAF run SSP along with their human extraterrestrial allies in a series of articles available here.

Feel free to share this article with original links.
Last week, residents of Dalcahue, a port city on the southern island of Chile, took to social media with reports of the unidentified flying objects.
They were described by witnesses as “bright red objects streaking across the sky”.
