Aliens? Or just balloons and crash test dummies? World UFO Day has its roots in the so-called Roswell Incident on July 2, 1947
Every year on July 2, people all over the planet observe World UFO Day. This day is about learning more about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and the possibility of life beyond Earth
A Harvard research claims that UFOs might be visiting Earth to meet their alien friends living with us. The study explores four theories of aliens living near humans
The Eastern Command of the Indian Air Force said that it had activated its air defence response mechanism
A radical redefinition of life could help us find aliens beyond Earth and among us
NASA said Thursday that the study of UFOs will require new scientific techniques, including advanced satellites as well as a shift in how unidentified flying objects are perceived. The space agency released the findings after a yearlong study into UFOs. In its 33-page report, an independent team commissioned by NASA cautioned that the negative perception surrounding UFOs poses an obstacle to collecting data. But officials said NASA's involvement should help reduce the stigma around what it calls UAPs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena. At this point there is no reason to conclude that existing UAP reports have an extraterrestrial source, the report said. The 16-member panel noted that artificial intelligence and machine learning are essential for identifying rare occurrences, including UFOs. NASA "with its world-leading experience in these aspects is well-positioned to play a leading role, it wrote. At the one and only public meeting earlier this year, the independent team sele
Among those who have reported sightings are highly trained pilots equipped with cutting-edge technology, but…
The hearing was prompted by claims from Grusch in June that the government was secretly harbouring alien spacecraft
Three witnesses testify in Congress about unidentified aerial phenomena and US government secrecy
A former US intelligence officer claims that the US government is in possession of alien spacecraft. He says the government is hiding the information on aliens from the public and Congress
The US is concealing a longstanding programme that retrieves and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects, a former Air Force intelligence officer testified Wednesday to Congress. The Pentagon has denied his claims. Retired Maj. David Grusch's highly anticipated testimony before a House Oversight subcommittee was Congress' latest foray into the world of UAPs or unidentified aerial phenomena," which is the official term the US government uses instead of UFOs. While the study of mysterious aircraft or objects often evokes talk of aliens and little green men, Democrats and Republicans in recent years have pushed for more research as a national security matter due to concerns that sightings observed by pilots may be tied to US adversaries. Grusch said he was asked in 2019 by the head of a government task force on UAPs to identify all highly classified programs relating to the task force's mission. At the time, Grusch was detailed to the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency
Before authorities could determine the balloon's origin and reach a decision on whether to bring it down, the object drifted southwest into the ocean, they said
Those fears were stoked by the series of shootdowns over Alaska, Canada and Michigan starting Friday and raised pressure on the Biden administration to explain the nature of the high-altitude craft
Maybe they came from China. Maybe from somewhere farther away. A lot farther away. The downing of four aerial devices by US warplanes has touched off rampant misinformation about the objects, their origin and their purpose, showing how complicated world events and a lack of information can quickly create the perfect conditions for unchecked conjecture and misinformation. The presence of mysterious objects high in the sky doesn't help. There will be an investigation and we will learn more, but until then this story has created a playground for people interested in speculating or stirring the pot for their own reasons," said Jim Ludes, a former national defence analyst who now leads the Pell Center for International Relations at Salve Regina University. In part," Ludes added, "because it feeds into so many narratives about government secrecy. President Joe Biden and other top Washington officials have said little about the repeated shootdowns, which began with a suspected Chinese sp
China spots UFO, says will take it down. Also, it says US balloons have flown illegally over its territory more than 10 times since 2022
The latest event is of the US military shooting down a fourth flying object over Lake Huron in Michigan. This comes after the US has already taken down UFOs in US and Canadian airspace
South Korea's military confirmed it test-fired a solid-fuelled rocket on Friday after its unannounced launch triggered brief public scare of a suspected UFO appearance or a North Korean missile launch. The Defence Ministry said in a statement that the rocket launch was part of its efforts to build a space-based surveillance capability and bolster its defence posture. It said it didn't notify the general public of the launch in advance because it involved sensitive military security issues. A twisty tendril of vapour in white-to-red ombre could be seen snaking behind a bright white light in parts of South Korea's sky on Friday evening. South Korean social media and internet sites were abuzz with messages by citizens who said they saw a soaring object, rainbow-coloured vapour trail or other mysterious lights. Some also posted photos and videos. What is this? Is this a UFO? I'm scared, said one Twitter user. Another said they suspected it was a North Korean missile launch and worrie
NASA has kicked off a study to help scientists learn more about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) or UFOs (unidentified flying objects).
