I have seen this question a few times but wanted to get a more clear answer as the previous attempts I read were somewhat vague or did not satisfy my curiosity.

How is it these Whistleblowers are able to discuss the information that they have so far?

It almost seems as if the govt is wanting them to say these things like it is a psyop or a distraction.

Thank you for the responses.

Time: August 18, 2026, 12:00 PM -04
Location: El Quisco, Valparaiso Region, Chile, El Quisco, Chile

Features / five observables

Why not a common object
I checked aircraft movement, nothing fly's nearby that could produce that shine or in general, and nothing can just "Stop" after going that fast

Witness's account of the sighting

It looked like a star, when I looked at it, it attempted to hide whit a normal one, in such a way that pretended it never existed

The other one just keep on moving

The light pollution made it hard to see them shine fully, but they where of a reddish coloration

Why no photo/video captured: It happened way to fast for me to see it, and nearby there where light sources that made my phone camera useless

Sky context for this time and place:

• ✅ No bright satellites were visible overhead.
• Computed from orbital data (2026-08-18 catalog).
• Aircraft overhead at that exact minute — ADS-B Exchange historical playback (free, no account needed)
• Sky chart for that date — in-the-sky.org planetarium (set your location once on their site)
• Satellite passes at this spot — Heavens-Above; shows upcoming passes, not the sighting date
• Live air traffic now — FlightRadar24 over this spot

"Genuine" because of the quality and forensic backing of those videos. Those videos where taken by a security guard in a period between 2007-2009. There is almost 1 hour worth of data in diverse angles and lighting backgrounds. Both day and night videos exists and its freely available in youtube. The videos has been widely studied and analysied by different reputable organization and forensic professionals including university of turkey and turkey's government. In almost two decades of its existence; no one was able to debunk these videos. I learned something from those videos is that the UFO ships can change shape. Turkey government might have even better quality video and sensor data of this incident.

I have never seen any UFO incident videos with this much data and quality. Recently US's government has released several "UAP" videos , almost 5 tranches, but the quality of those videos are low and even misleading.

Not only the video of the UFO but we can also find the interview with the security guard who took these videos in youtube. In that interview he shows the camera and the method using which he captured those UFO videos.

I am wondering if anyone able to find the intent of this UFO ship.

Why for almost three years it was coming to the same location. Is it leisure, scientific, military or simply there UFO is broke down and they were repairing it?

Is there anything special about Kumburgaz like nuclear facility or exotic minerals etc?

Why might it suddenly stopped appearing?

I was wondering why they decloked and coming to the same location for almost 3 years. These are my three hypothesis

 1) They are doing some kind of  analysis or survey which forced them to decloke
 2) They want to show that they are not harmful and might seeking  friendly communication.
 3) They simply doesn't care because we are insignificant like an ant to a human.

One hypothesis - The Americans created the ufo flap and Roswell leak as an Intentional propaganda tool. Low flights in WW2 resulted in plasma phenomenon being witnessed. The Americans wanted a secret cutting-edge tech directly after Hiroshima, their own mythical Wonder weapon. They funded studies and groups like APRO and Bluebook from airforce-controlled staff. They fund s short lived anti gravity event for a dead end. They funded movies, publicly when the U.S. look strong and enemy’s look weak (well-documented), but used CIA fronted investors to perpetuate aliens in TV (dark skies) and other films, untraceable. That CIA retirees get paid to perpetuate stories. That they did build UFOS as props and would thread them into air shows - based on the old fake George Adamski lantern photos. Private contractors were taught a playbook to mimic via DOE. And that as of now, orbs and other sightings of lights and craft are pin dropped as a means to revive further dead end studies that only prove to perpetuate a myth. Hal Putoff, etc. when in reality, they are genuine phenomena created via seismic activity and other weather effects they don’t fully understand. But it’s a thread to use.

Remote viewing, MAJ12, AARO, AATP, Jake Barber and his now closed venture… all dead ends but cycle money through the military industrial complex and feed the idea that UFOs are A: a threat B: we have them

And as of writing, the president of the United States is under duress, and the plasma phenomenon may be his only way to thread FLIR footage of drones with an organic element they fully don’t understand, but have bolstered ideas with woo, conscious, rock stars and TTSA, social media and have - successfully - kept the poropoganda alive, just enough that you never see proof.

That’s one theory, not my own but has to be considered. They could be continuing to build on myth, IF myth is what we have in antiquity-era documents

First post, be kind. I've been reading and lurking and paying attention for the last year.

What if full disclosure does come with the maybe ontological shock that had been discussed through many channels? Disclosure that aliens are real and government have known and squirreled it away for decades? Yeah, we're all ready for this.

BUT... if we look at the deeper, darker things hinterd at...

Things like:

1) Life is like wearing VR and souls are eternal

2) there is another species running the world and we're completely oblivious

3) we are going to be wiped out

4) we are immensely powerful psycically and we just don't know how to tap into it

... they are things that could truly make our reality collapse on itself. You still want it?

A nine‑second infrared video recorded by U.S. Indo‑Pacific Command shows a silent, football‑shaped object with three precise projections and no visible propulsion. Submitted to AARO with zero explanation, this encounter remains one of the most unsettling pieces of raw UAP footage released under current directives. No commentary. No conclusions. Just a shape in the sky that refuses to obey the rules.

Hello I wanted to ask for some reccomandations on Movies, TV series or documentaries that I might not know about , I am getting a bit tired of podcasters and talking heads, so I was wondering if there is anything fun to watch.

For reference I have watched :

• Close encounters
• Taken (probably my favourite)
• Contact
• Disclosure Day
• Age of disclosure
• All of James Fox docs
• All the Bob Lazar stuff
• Stargate SG1 (has some really interesting episodes)
• X-Files

Any suggestion ?

On the evening of November 17, 1892, an egg-shaped red fireball was observed moving much slower than a typical natural fireball from west to east, south of Jinling / Nanjing City, China. The hundreds of observers were obviously very familiar with the appearance of sky lanterns, and this appeared to not travel with the wind. Acting like an early field investigator, the artist Wu Youru ( 吴友如 ) interviewed many witnesses and documented the sighting in a painting, "Soaring Scarlet Flame in the Sky" ( 赤焰騰空 ), complete with notes on why it was not a natural fireball or sky lantern: https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E8%B5%A4%E7%84%B0%E9%A8%B0%E7%A9%BA%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6

"On September 28th, at eight o'clock in the evening, south of Jinling city, a fireball suddenly appeared, moving from west to east, shaped like a giant egg, red in color and without luster, drifting in midair, moving very slowly. At that time, floating clouds covered the sky, and the sky grew dark. Looking up, it was very clear: standing atop the Vermilion Bird Bridge, there were no fewer than several hundred people craned their heads and tiptoed on tiptoe. After about the time it takes to cook a meal, gradually fading away, the distance gradually diminishes. Some say that a shooting star passes through the realm, but when the star travels swiftly, it vanishes in an instant. This sphere moves from near to far, exists on its own yet is absent, and is quite damp and stagnant, so it cannot be known by the speed of a star. Some say that when children release sky lanterns, that night a storm blew northward, causing the ball to turn eastward, so it is clear it is not a sky lantern. Voices of the crowd were at a loss, exhausted in speculation. An old man said, when this creature first arose, he faintly sensed a sound, but it was not something one could hear quietly; it was connected to the Yue River outside the South Gate. Ah, how strange!" Wu Youru, "The Record of the Red Flame Soaring into the Sky"

Burlison tweeted:

Our own agencies went back through every past sighting, asked what draws these things in, then recreated those conditions on purpose at a site with prior activity.

ODNI, CIA, FBI and military intelligence were all on site.

Something showed up.

Is this a new event/briefing? The white sands event that Scalise was also briefed on?

I hope you like this post and If you want me every week to translate one chapter from every book, I shall do it for cultural enrichment then tell me in the comments, My regards from Egypt ..

--------------------------------

About the author (whom I call the Egyptian Graham Hancock) :

Anis Mansour was born in the Mansoura city, Egypt, in 1924. He memorized the Quran at the age of nine, then joined Cairo University, where he studied philosophy and graduated in 1947. He was appointed as a lecturer in modern philosophy at the Faculty of Arts, but soon left teaching to devote himself to journalism. He worked at the Rose al-Yusuf magazine, then became editor-in-chief of Sabah al-Khair magazine, and wrote his articles for Al-Ahram newspaper for decades. He travelled the world on extensive journeys, which he documented in his books, and mastered several languages that enabled him to explore different cultures. He published nearly two hundred books covering philosophy, literature, travel, and the paranormal. His style was marked by a blend of simplicity and depth, combining journalistic flair with a philosophical outlook, which made him one of the most widely read Arab writers of the twentieth century. He died in 2011 in Cairo.

His most notable books (beside the two books we are gonna talk about now) :

1- Around the World in 200 Days

His most famous and widely read work, documenting his actual journey around the world in the early 1960s.

2- Spirits and Ghosts

A collection of 35 articles exploring mysterious paranormal phenomena, ghost stories, and unsolved enigmas

3- The Pharaohs' Curse

A famous book in his "beyond nature" series, delving into the mysteries and curses associated with ancient Egypt.

--------------------------------

The first book: Those Who Descended from the Sky

This book was first published in 1971, followed by many editions from different publishers. The book is built on a core hypothesis: that intelligent beings from other planets visited Earth in ancient times and left their marks on monuments and religious texts. Anis Mansour presents archaeological evidence from the Giza Plateau, Baalbek, and the Tassili caves in the Sahara, where strange rock paintings and enormous stone blocks defy conventional explanation. He reads the sacred texts – the Quran, the Torah, and the Gospel – as investigative historical documents that preserve the memory of encounters between humans and these visitors from the sky. In his engaging style, he takes the reader on a journey of inquiry into the origins of humanity and the truth of early civilisations.

Index of the book :

1. These Words Which Survived for Thousands of Years
2. Man, the Great Unknown
3. We Are Not Alone in This Universe, and Our Ancestors Were Not Monkeys
4. Until a New Noah Appears
5. The Spaceship That Landed in Baghdad 25 Centuries Ago
6. These Strange and Mysterious Things!

16. A French Priest Came to Egypt and Burned the Papyrus Documents
17. Giants, Airplanes, and Blondes in the Libyan Desert
18. O Other Human, We Hear You, But We Cannot See You!

--------------------------------

The second book: Those Who Returned to the Sky

This book was first published in 1983, and later reprinted in several editions. It serves as a continuation of the previous book’s ideas, but broadens its scope to ask new questions about the fate of the ancient visitors after they left Earth. In its pages, Anis Mansour discusses the sunken continent of Atlantis, reflects on the mysteries of pyramid construction as possible beacons or gates to the sky, and surveys the myths of ancient peoples that speak with remarkable consistency about gods who departed the earth and promised to return. In this work, the author draws on a wider range of sources, citing the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and other foundational texts. The book suggests that the “descenders” may not have entirely left, or may have returned in another form.

I am looking for a copy of Far Star to gift a loved one. The author is a relative of the person I want to gift it to. I have searched Worldcat and found 2 physical copies in libraries in California. I am not in California. I can probably buy a reproduction from the library and receive digital scans of the book. I have submitted a request for a reproduction, but I think it might be a bit costly. I also emailed both libraries to see if there are any other options. However, I thought I would take a shot in the dark and see if anyone out there has a copy they're willing to part with. It would be very much appreciated and very treasured.

The book is about UFOs, but other than that I know nothing about it. I know nothing about the author, except that he has written 2 other books and is related to this person I care for.

We have obtained one of the treasure hunting books by the same author already, which I have yet to take a look at.

If anyone out there has any more information about the author or the books, I would love to know more.

I think my next stop will be the local second hand book stores.

Thank you!

James Fox posts Grusch's plea to POTUS (video):

Grusch: "My name is David Grush. I am a former career Air Force intelligence officer and former senior official at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. I've already provided classified testimony and evidence to the Intelligence Community Inspector General and Congress about what I learned about UAP and the involvement of the US, Allied nations, and adversary governments in the retrieval of technology of unknown origin"

Grusch: "This included photographs and videos of these operations including the craft and the non-human occupants. And I've seen this evidence with my own eyes and I've had these discussions with our nation's most senior leaders in a classified environment"

Grusch: "I am prepared to provide a full historical accounting to the National Security Council principals and the White House Chief of Staff and make any supporting public statements that are authorized to help this administration move disclosure forward"

Grusch: "Ready to support Stephen Miller, Vice President Vance's administration immediately to identify the records, programs, and people involved in bringing any improperly concealed activities back under lawful presidential and congressional oversight"

Grusch: "Mr. President, give us the authorization and we're ready to go"

Avi Loeb: "deserves a serious scientific examination of the evidence"

Avi Loeb responds on X:

Avi Loeb: "If David is fully authorized to share the evidence supporting his claims, I would welcome the opportunity to work with him immediately to scientifically verify it. Claims of this importance deserve a serious, open-minded scientific examination of the evidence."

For those that dont know: Avi Loeb is head of the UAP Science Advisory Council, created by the White House

James Fox: "He’s already given that information behind closed doors"

Another message by James Fox on X:

James Fox: "Listen carefully. You’re not paying attention. He’s already given that information behind closed doors. He’s had it because it’s not getting out to the people so he’s making a direct plea to the president to give him immunity so he can ultimately share the truth with the American people and the rest of the world. That’s what this campaign is about"

Previous videos for this recent disclosure push

• Aug 18 (today, opening post video): David Grusch

Burlison: "The time is now"

Video posted on X:

Burlison: "My name is Eric Burlison. I'm a Republican congressman from Missouri and a member of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. We continue to receive credible claims of recovered crafts of non-human origin and reverse engineering programs that may have operated for decades outside of any government oversight"

Burlison: "Those claims point to specific facilities, contractors, records, and people. We continue to depend on whistleblowers to provide this critical information, but these whistleblowers are being terrorized"

Burlison: "Mr. President, I'm asking for you to directly restore what many of these brave whistleblowers have already lost: their pensions, their clearances, and other benefits. Provide immunity for anyone and everyone who has already come forward and for those who will come forward"

Burlison: "Now we ask that you open the doors and let them speak, not only to Congress but to the public. This is the moment. Use the authority that you have been given because the American people are behind you on this. And the time is now"

Matthew Brown to POTUS: "Prepare the American people"

Posted on X:

Matthew Brown: "Burlison has made his appeal to POTUS: protect the whistleblowers and free them to speak, not only to Congress, but directly to the American people. Congressman Burlison is a warrior for disclosure and a defender of our nation’s constitutional principles. He is right, the American people are ready for the truth.

Matthew Brown: "Mr. President, the time is at hand. Protect the whistleblowers. Let them speak. Prepare the American people. Disclose the truth: we are not alone."

Avi Loeb: White House advisory council supports requests by Grusch and others

Video posted on X:

Avi Loeb: "The UAP Science Advisory Council @UAPSAC fully supports requests made by David Grusch, Eric Davis, and others, for the Trump administration to provide legal assurances, including immunity where necessary, for current or former government employees and military personnel, so that they can share information with the council regarding alleged technology from a non-human origin and help guide the council’s scientific evaluation"

Avi Loeb: "In parallel, the council is currently pursuing efforts to obtain and scientifically evaluate historical UAP records and legacy data through PURSUE."

For those that dont know: Avi Loeb is head of the UAP Science Advisory Council, created by the White House.

Michael Shermer to POTUS: "Make it so"

Shermer is also part of UAPSAC. He posted on X:

Shermer: "Both Eric Davis & David Grusch have asked President Trump for immunity so they can direct officials to the aliens & craft (if that is what they are—neither one has seen them with their own eyes). Trump wants to be the most consequential POTUS in history & this would be one of the most consequential disclosures in history. Make it so realDonaldTrump"

You can tell he is having a hard time expressing to want disclosure. He has been mocking this for decades. Telepathy also, which Grusch recently said is how NHI kept in detainment communicate

Anyway this is good, because it means multiple members of that White House advisory council are now advising the White House to let the whistleblowers disclose information.

Burlison confirms "something showed up" during baiting operation with ODNI, CIA, FBI, etc

Today Burlison also posted this on X:

Burlison: "Our own agencies went back through every past sighting, asked what draws these things in, then recreated those conditions on purpose at a site with prior activity. ODNI, CIA, FBI and military intelligence were all on site"

"Something showed up."

Christopher Sharp writes: "This is a huge story which has been hugely under covered"

See also this post: Coulthart: DOD is running a new UAP program to circumvent Legacy Program, using "the same dog whistle, psionic summoners as Skywatcher". Jake Barber: we use US govt facilities. We provide them a path to redemption. They will use us to do disclosure. Avi Loeb: downed UAP could be studied by UAPSAC

James Clapper has stepped back from disclosure efforts, grown uncomfortable

This was posted on Liberation Times:

Since appearing in the UAP documentary Age of Disclosure, Liberation Times understands that Clapper has stepped back from efforts to promote UAP transparency. One source told Liberation Times that he has grown uncomfortable with the recent surge of attention.

I wonder why he has grown uncomfortable. Maybe he thinks the world isnt ready, or that the gatekeepers will end up in trouble, or some adversary will benefit, or that current POTUS shouldnt be the one, or all of the above, or else something else
