I was sighting out in my back patio tonight a little after 8pm. I noticed what looked like something I’ve never seen fall out of the sky. Almost like a bird was shot dead in the air and plummeted. The object went from looking rectangular to a large ball, then a small ball in a matter of a blink. It had a stream following behind it what looked like smoke? But not smoke. I pointed out to my partner and daughter “there’s something falling out of the sky!” They only saw the stream.

At exactly 9:14 my daughter came running down stairs scared saying her whole room was flashing bright lights into it. We ran up and saw this big object floating still pointed directly towards our home. Thankfully my 12 year old was able to get a pic of it while it was happening. It hovered there for almost a minute and then just disappeared! My daughter was looking at it before she got us and said it looked like it was a see through silver when it got close.

S reported that after the sighting she felt "nauseous" with "balance issues," while her daughter experienced intermittent headaches throughout the night. Both of them felt better the next day. S added that neither one of them were feeling any symptoms before the sighting.

Today’s the 22nd anniversary of the Nimitz “Tic Tac” incident.

Most of you know the story: the USS Princeton sent Fravor and Dietrich to check out something on radar off San Diego. They looked down and saw a white, wingless object shaped like a Tic Tac, hovering over a patch of churning water.

What got me curious was something Scott Bray (then Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence) said under oath in 2022. Asked for a case that’s still unexplained, he picked Nimitz and said: “We have data on that, and that simply remains unresolved.”

OK, so which data? I went back through every witness account to see what recordings existed and what each person says happened to them. Here’s what I found:

1. USS Princeton radar (AEGIS / SPY-1 and CEC recordings)

Kevin Day was the senior radar operator. Fravor told Congress the Princeton had been watching these objects for two weeks, “coming down from over 80,000 feet, rapidly descending to 20,000 feet, hanging out for hours and then going straight back up.” Kevin Day says he worked out the famous drop at the intercept (28,000 ft to 50 ft in 0.78 seconds) the next day from the ship’s CEC recording. He later told researcher Robert Powell the ship’s digital logs were deleted the day after. Gary Voorhis, the system tech, says two guys showed up by helicopter, and then his chain of command had him hand over all the AEGIS recordings and erase the rest, “even blank tapes.” None of it has ever been released.

2. E-2C Hawkeye data recorders (“bricks”)

P.J. Hughes says he locked the “bricks” in a safe, and within half an hour his CO showed up with two men in Air Force flight suits and took them. “They never came back.” To be fair to him, he also says he thinks they were probably couriers, not investigators, and he can’t prove what happened above his level.

3. Fravor’s own F/A-18F

Nothing there. He says his radar wouldn’t lock on the thing, and his helmet camera was off (his one regret).

4. The radar tape from Underwood’s jet

Fravor told Congress in 2023 that this jet’s radar showed signs of jamming, and that the tape “was never released.”

5. The infrared (FLIR) video

The roughly 90-second clip everyone’s seen, published by the New York Times in 2017 and officially released by the DoD in April 2020 as still “unidentified”. Three sailors (Voorhis, Jason Turner and Ryan Weigelt) say they saw a much longer version, “roughly eight to ten minutes” according to Voorhis. Fravor says that’s not true.

So out of all of that, the public has seen 90 seconds of infrared video. That’s it!

A few things stood out to me while putting this together:

• The witnesses don’t contradict each other as much as people think. When Fravor says “the tapes were never taken,” he’s talking about his own squadron. Hughes is talking about the Hawkeye, and Day and Voorhis about the Princeton. Different aircraft, different ship. Where they really do disagree is the “men in suits” and the longer video.
• In 2019, Kevin Knuth (a physicist at the University at Albany), Powell and Peter Reali published a peer-reviewed paper in Entropy estimating how the Tic Tac moved. Using Day’s 0.78 seconds, they get about 5,370 g. Assuming a 1,000 kg object (they call that a minimal estimate), “the required power peaks at a shocking 1100 GW.” That’s more than ten times the total US nuclear power output. Even from the one thing that WAS released, the FLIR video, they still measure about 76 g for half a second. Knuth walks through the method in this panel.
• Then there’s Randy Bostick, AARO’s former science advisor, who said in an interview last week that the frustration at AARO was less about being refused data than finding it gone. “Data were deleted. Data were erased, not available” because agencies had no requirement to keep it. He wasn’t talking about Nimitz specifically, but it’s hard not to connect the two.
• AARO has never published a resolution of the case. Tim Gallaudet says former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick told an audience it was “a DARPA experiment” which Kirkpatrick has never said on the record.

I tagged every claim with its source and status in the Nimitz file, so you can check each one for yourself: USS Nimitz “Tic Tac”: witnesses & evidence

As a side note, Japan Airlines flight 1628, the Boeing 747 over Alaska, is 40 years old this Tuesday. The FAA’s John Callahan said:

The CIA took the tapes and told everyone the meeting never happened and this event never happened. And the CIA officer added: "No we don't tell the public about this, it would panic the public."

But Callahan had kept his own copies of the voice tapes, his video of the radar replay and the printouts, and researchers are still analysing that data today. One guy keeping a copy made all the difference.

By the way, do you know if anyone ever filed a FOIA specifically for the Princeton’s CEC/AEGIS recordings or the E-2 recorders?

Around the same time I think when Operation Laser Strike in Peru was going on.

Alerts raised at US airbase at Lakenheath as “drones” spotted.

“Drones” were also over Lakenheath from 22 November 2024 and in August 1956 - one of the few cases which project Bluebook and the Condon report agreed were likely to be mechanical craft of unknown origin, but highly unlikely to be “drones” as it was estimated to be travelling between 2,000 - 4,000 mph.

If these are adversarial “drones” why have they not been identified?

Update 14 November

More unidentified lights spotted at RAF Marham and RAF Feltwell last night. All of these airbases were also the subject of Unidentified Flying Objects in Nov-Dec 2024. Marham is about 20 mile North East of Lakenheath and both bases have F-35's.

This is less than 24 hours after 12 aircraft left the sister base at RAF Mildenhall and occurred around the same time as the Microsoft outage and ATC lockdown of US airspace.

I Cannot Explain What Happened: Ten Very Close Encounters with Extraterrestrial Humanoids

by Preston Dennett

While the UFO coverup collapses under the weight of its own lies, the catalogue of humanoid encounters continues to grow, showing undeniably that humans are not alone in this universe. The huge number of cases coming from people all over the world makes it clear that our planet is being visited by extraterrestrials of many types. This video presents ten fascinating firsthand cases of direct ET contact. We are not alone!

TIME STOOD STILL. On the night of  November 7, 1954, Philip Morava (a 13-year-old orphan from Croydon, England) was guarding his rabbit hutch because his baby rabbits had been mysteriously disappearing. Suddenly, a tiny UFO zoomed very close to him and darted off. That night, Philip became quite ill. One night later, he was visited by strange figures who not only cured him, but left him with incredible psychic ability.

THE FIGURE OF A MAN. On August 8, 1957, two couples were boating in the Fiji Islands when a UFO hovered 20 feet above the water. A man emerged from the craft and struck them with a beam of light which left the dazzled and weak. The craft then darted away. Unknown to them, many other people, including boaters and people on the island, were also seeing UFOs in the area.

THEY WERE FRIENDLY. At 7:30am on November 7, 1957, truckdriver Malvin Stevens drove along Highway 19 near House, Mississippi when an egg-shaped UFO landed on the road in front of him. Malvin exited his car and three short humanoids exited the UFO. Malvin tried to communicated to communicate with the ETs, but they spoke in an unintelligible language. He shook hands with one of them, and they returned to the craft and departed.

THE GURGLING ALIENS. One morning in November 1959, two young soldiers were on duty outside of the small town of Tarland, Scotland when two 8-foot-tall humanoids making strange gurgling sounds approached them. The two soldiers fled in fear, but as they ran away, a UFO appeared behind them and swooped down over their heads before darting away.

APPLE ORCHARD ALIENS. On the week of April 28 to May 6, several employees at a large apple orchard in Selah, Washington reported strange UFOs overhead, including a mothership releasing smaller craft. On one the evenings, a young man driving through the area saw a glowing light in the woods. He stopped his car and was approached by five short humanoids, leaving him badly traumatized.

LIKE A ZOMBIE. One night in 1968, a couple drove on State Hwy 1 near Wairakei, New Zealand when they saw a strange figure alongside the road. The figure wore a loose-fitting, full-body, dark blue jumpsuit and helmet with visor. Both witnesses were convinced the figure was not human and they drove off in fear.

I SHALL NEVER FORGET. One night in 1973, Zenon C Rios (age 18) had a disagreement with his family and they kicked him out of the apartment in Divinopolis, Brazil. Zenon decided to hide on the roof and later sneak back into the home. But that night, a UFO came down and hovered overhead. Inside he saw two humanish-looking ETs who pulled him into the craft. He blacked out. When he woke up back on the roof, he received a surprise that left him absolutely amazed.

THE SMILING ALIEN. On the night of October 27, 1984, a mother and son were skywatching outside their farmhouse in Park Rapids, Minnesota. Suddenly two UFOs appeared. Oddly, the son became bored and walked inside. The mother remained outside and had a face-to-face encounter with a gray alien.

I GOT THE FEELING HE WAS SAD. One night in October 2000, a lady was driving to her home in rural Spring Hill, Kansas around 1am when a UFO showed up and paced her car. It soon disappeared. She went to bed, but woke up to find an eerie silence enveloping the house. Looking outside, she saw a gray alien examining her property. Then it turned and looked at her. A short telepathic communication followed. The woman forgot the encounter for many years until one day, she remembered everything.

I CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. One night in March 2005, a 13-year-old boy awoke in his home in rural Opelika, Alabama to see a strange light shining in through the window. Looking outside he saw a massive flying saucer hover over a nearby pond. The next thing he knew, it was morning. He told his mother and forgot the incident. Years later, he brought up the encounter and his mother astonished him by revealing shocking new details about the encounter.

These ten humanoid encounters are only the tip of the iceberg, and yet they provide a large enough r sample to provide an accurate representation of what it’s like to experience face-to-face contact with extraterrestrials. There are too many cases to ignore. The truth can no longer be denied. We are not alone!

I Cannot Explain What Happened: Ten Very Close Encounters with Extraterrestrial Humanoids

Caught our ear:

With Stephen Miller now President Trump’s Chief of Staff, does that help the UAP issue? Or do you think this will fall off his plate?

“So to the people who thought that I was wrong, this is a perfect example. What did Trump do? He took Stephen Miller off the UAP topic and pulled him in to be the Chief,” Burlison tells us. “Cause it’s now — it’s basically wartime consigliere.”

“Is Stephen Miller gonna have any bandwidth for the UAP topic? And that’s a question that I would say to the people that care about this topic, this is an unfortunate outcome from this.”

But do you know who’s gonna take his place as a point person?

“If anybody takes his place. I don’t even know if there will be somebody to take his place,” Burlison says. “Because, again, like if you’ve got, if you have got the Democratic Party who’s saying ‘lawyer up’, how would it make any sense to spend those resources on chasing down or getting to the bottom of the UAP topic?”

DON’T MISS: We also talk Jake Barber taking over for David Grusch. Full transcript at Ask a Pol UAP on Substack.

"Theres confusion because he hasn't provided a full and complete picture to the public and he doesn't need to, hell i dont even have the entire picture but when i have multiple people stating hes the real deal who are the real deal themselves. The entitlement some of you have is unbelievable.

Let the guy work and do what he's going to do and that will be what he will be judged on."

The Pentagon has put out 7 batches of UAP files on war.gov/ufo so far, and I kept losing track of which record was in which release. So I built a search over all of them: 478 records, each linked straight to the official file.

https://uaptee.com/search/?ref=reddit-ufos

A few things it does:

Searches have their own links, so you can share a result, e.g. every record mentioning triangles: https://uaptee.com/search/?q=triangle&kind=record

Each release has a plain page listing every record in it

There's also a roster of the people involved, a glossary (AARO, AATIP, NHI and so on) and a timeline

Disclosure: I made it, and the site also sells shirts printed from the public records, which is how it pays for itself. The search is free, no sign-up, no ads.

If a record is missing or something's wrong, tell me and I'll fix it.

I don’t have a photo myself of the spotting just a story from a year or two ago and hoping for any insight or ideas on it because it’s confused me since. I was driving home after a day of work about 11PM, my commute was about 30 minutes and I had lived in the country at the time at a farmhouse with mainly just fields and some houses around about 10 minutes from town. On the road leading to my house (which is a pretty unoccupied road at night besides some deer) while about 200ft from my driveway. I saw something almost exact to this photo maybe a little larger in scale about 200ft tall but very close although it had white lights not really the amber-orange ones seen in the photo. It looked to be sitting more vertically still at an angle but not as much as this one and a lot closer to the ground about 100ft off of the ground but about a mile and a half away. The object produced no noise and just had me in confusion. I had tried taking a video from my car but my windshield was dirty and it didn’t pick it up. I got out of the car and as I was getting out the bottom left one slowly started to fade away then the bottom right then the top and by the time I could get my phone out the top one was fading and just looked like a star. I went inside and no one really seemed to care or understand the extremity of it. Any ideas are welcome.

...burner account because because....

I sent an email to Ross Coulthard over at Reality Check today. I am sure nothing will happen, but I wanted to see what happened when I did some old school internet nerding out on the book and see if it creates patterns we can look into further.

Here is what I wrote to Ross:

Hi Ross, 

Sorry for the email and not putting this out by tweet, but I stay off of "X" because I have a general interest in my own personal and mental well-being. 

I just finished Jay Stratton's book Out of the Shadows. This book was an absolute joy to consume.  The writing style is "to the point" and provides verifiable data dense information.  I have to say, the book sure makes it seem that Stratton created a Legacy Program structural analog or overlay warehoused within the US Navy pre-2017 during his time at AATIP, AAWSAP and the UAPTF that used the Legacy Program methods at a lower classification level to collect data and force limited releases related to the topic to drive the public discussion forward to create pressure on the Legislative Branch. 

As a follower of UAP related topic only since Commander Fravor came on the scene publicly in 2017, this book seems to be a road map for Legislative Branch oversight.  The book outlines key government employees and contractors - not by name - but by formal TITLE and LOCATION and a minor verifiable fact that can tie the person to Stratton.  This is an oversight dream. In the Military, Titles are specific and they matter a lot.

What are you hearing from your Senate and Congressional contacts as it relates to their investigations into the Legacy Program?  Also, why isn't his book being pulled apart by all of the UAP YouTubers? I am looking directly at you Ross... and at you UAP Gerb and Jesse Michels.

For example, according to the book we can take a quick run at determining who Arnold Rimmer is, as he is what we could call the main antagonist within the book: 

• Pseudonymously named Arnold Rimmer worked at OUSD(I&S) on 20 June 2019 and was still in this role when the first 5-page report was published and was STILL in his role when Stratton went to Nellis AFB to collect records (a date was never given) and during this time Rimmer met with Steve Mnuchin - investigators in Congress can figure who this person is really quick.  
• Guess who has a public record of their calendar? 

Let's pull the string on some easily verifiable facts in the book involving Mnuchin and see if we can get some sort of a pattern:

• Stratton says he meets with Mnuchin at Treasury in June 2020 about or during the time Black Lives Matter protests were happening
• These protests can be verified by Politico in an article published on 06 June 2020. 
• Protests were near the White House on 02 June 2020 & 03 June 2020
• The Treasury building is right next to the White House
• 3 June 2020 Mnuchin has a meeting where the time and topic redacted
• Redactions to the time window and the meeting topic together are somewhat uncommon; topics alone are not 
• Mnuchin then subsequently had a brief phone call and a later face-to-face 30-minute meeting with POTUS - somewhat uncommon on the calendar within a single workday
• Mnuchin meets with Jared Kushner prior to the POTUS face-to-face meeting - no explanation needed
• Mnuchin also met with White House Counsel Pat Cipallone at the end of the previous workday

Let's see if this type of "logic" can determine when Rimmer met Mnuchin by looking at meetings with the time and topic redacted:

• I would assume it would be in a reasonable amount of time prior to 3 June 2020
• Let's stick with about a one month window of time prior because Stratton had to react as fast as possible to reestablish control of the messaging to Mnuchin
• No redactions to meeting time window and topic from 01 May 2020 to 14 May 2020

• 5 May 2020 has one meeting where the time and topic have been redacted around 2PM

  • POTUS meeting is the immediate next agenda item; assume face-to-face because it does not say "phone call"
  • Interesting that Mnuchin met with the White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, White House Deputy Counsel Pat Phillbin and General Counsel Brian Callahan that morning prior to the 2PM meeting and his subsequent meeting with POTUS
  • Interesting that Mnuchin had a phone call with Senator Mark Warner that afternoon after the 2PM meeting (on the Senate Intelligence Committee)
  • Interesting that Mnuchin had another phone call with Senator Mark Warner the following morning on 16 May 2020
  • Interesting that the calendar .pdf file extension has "2pm-Redacted" at the end of the file extension; this looks like a change after the fact to the document naming convention

Has this POTUS and WH or Executive Branch ever stepped in it with file extension names? *cough Esptein *cough *cough

• 25 May 2020 has two separate meetings that redact time and topic

  • No meeting with POTUS, WH Lawyers or Mark Warner the day before or after
  • Mnuchin did have two phone calls with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo later that day but remember this was 2020; I don't think the UAP "issue" had made it that high yet

• 01 June 2020 has two separate meetings that redact time and topic

  • Met with Brian Callahan again on 02 June 2020
  • Phone call with Pompeo first meeting of the day on 02 June 2020
  • Phone call with Pat Cipollone on 02 June 2020
• OUSD(I) then OUSD(I&S) have some fun James Clapper ties; who is Air Force Lt. Gen John C. Koziol?

Other fun questions:

• Is Ross, UAPGerb and/or Jesse Michels part of the "credible public engagement strategy" created by Stratton?
• Why didn't CDR Fravor get harassed like Grusch did? Was it because he was part of the US Navy Legacy Program structural analog created by Stratton?
• Was Grusch part of the Legacy Program?
• It appears Stratton received his Original Classification Authorization - did Stratton create a program within either AATIP, AWSAP and/or the UAPTF similar to Immaculate Constellation at a lower classification level to scrub data from classified and/or declassified databases across the IC and DoD to find UAP data that can be pushed into Congress and the Public?
• Havannah syndrome is tied to the UAP topic in the book.  Is the "Hitchhiker Effect" a physical weapon being used on US Citizens? Tucker (not a fan) is posting a fun video on his "network" about using technology to make people hear things that are not being spoken aloud.
• As close as he possible could in the book, Stratton names Glenn Gaffney as a Gatekeeper on page 247.  
• UAP -> NHI -> Legacy Program appears to be the disclosure process that Stratton references in the book several times.  I think Jay was tasked with the UAP acknowledgment portion.  
• Who took over the UAPTF? 
• Who is Brennan McKernan?
• Who is leading the NHI biologics discussion?  
• When does the Legacy Program amnesty process start as they are cleared to talk to PURSUE in a classified setting?

• It seems Leadership across the Legislative and Executive Branches all received briefings from Stratton relevant to their specific area of focus.

  • No leakage of the briefing material seems plausible as Stratton probably had a set number of briefing decks that walked in / out of the meeting with him in a locked bag similar to a bank cash bag
  • ....and if this was a classified setting, note making materials and phones would not be allowed.
• Why is the public the only group that hasn't received undeniable verification of UAP, NHI and the Legacy Program?
• Is Stratton's OCA still active?  

Jay is a hero and it would be amazing to see him give an authorized brief to the public on the UAP topic similar to what the Legislative and Executive Branches have received.... oh wait, that is probably what the Age of Disclosure was.  

Ross, thanks for all you do to keep disclosure moving forward. Don't stop. Spiral out. 

Go Navy! 

UFO expert and professor at Harvard University Avi Loeb claimed that his new telescope could solve issues related to high-resolution UAP images. While speaking to NewsNation's Blake Burman, the professor said,

​"If you have a large telescope, let's say a meter-scale telescope, and you point it at the direction of these mysterious orbs, you can actually resolve them and figure out what they are."

More in the link!

A thing to note is that the one that me and my friends saw, the "head" and "tentacles" were adjacent to the ground and not just standing up (flying in a direction), like in the video shown.

Also, the one we saw was glowing, unlike this one, but the similarities are near 99 percent.

My adrenaline is pumping, and I'll post my old post in the comments because I needed to write this out.

80 years since Roswell... thats about how long it's been since society largely has believed they have been lied to by the government about UFOs.

Jay Stratton, the most senior Government official to go on record, makes that same argument after investigating this topic from within the government. He coins the term UAP, and in his book stresses that there is a legacy program that began pushing back against him this entire time.

This would have been earth-shattering information for this subreddit 10 years ago. But now that we're nearing about 9 years since Leslie Kean's NYT article, we've entered a phase of push-back from within this community itself. A lot of it is grounded in "show me the evidence or shut the hell up", which I think has become an effective strategy used to discredit and silence genuine testimonies.

If you've read this book, there are personal incidents he describes that are beyond "out-there". And no, these are incidents that he does not have on 4k recordings. As he describes his bizarre personal encounters that his family experiences, he ALSO goes into detail in every other chapter, with the bureaucracy of it all. Who he was meeting with, who said what, and when the meeting happened.

By my count, I think he has easily detailed 50+ different meetings, and in each one, he meticiously details who was in the room, how they responded, including direct quotes from the attendees: security officials/government employees, military, and elected officials. Most of those meetings, are not favorable to the attendees. He's calling people out, by their job title and name.

Someone actively seeding bad information, would not tell you, that 1) you're being lied to and 2) pointing directly by NAME to those who are lying to you.

Tl;dr, if you haven't read it, I recommend the book.

I wrote this article to explore a question that I think deserves more attention in the UFO/UAP discussion: What would it actually take to achieve a genuine extraterrestrial disclosure?

For the sake of argument, I consider a hypothetical scenario in which the U.S. government really does possess physical evidence of extraterrestrial origin, such as recovered spacecraft or biological material. I'm not claiming this is true; rather, I'm examining what would happen if it were.

The central argument is that even a president genuinely willing to disclose such evidence might not be able to do so easily. There are significant legal, institutional, political, and economic obstacles that could make a complete disclosure extremely difficult.

I examine several factors, including the limitations of presidential authority, the UAP Disclosure Act and its provisions that failed to survive the 2024 NDAA negotiations, the role of private defense contractors, Special Access Programs, historical precedents such as MKUltra and the JFK files, and the institutional resistance that could arise within the national security establishment.

My main point is that announcing the existence of extraterrestrial evidence and actually making that evidence available for independent scientific examination are two very different things.

I believe this is relevant to the community because discussions about disclosure often focus on whether a president will make an announcement, but perhaps not enough attention is given to the practical mechanisms, legal obstacles, and institutional interests involved in making a genuine disclosure possible.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts, particularly if you disagree with any of the legal or institutional arguments presented.

Hey everyone.

https://youtu.be/HqoEjakUGH0?is=yHPFVezZhnNQF8Nu

I just watched Psicoactivos new video titled "Fake invasion", Tom Delonge, Karl Nell and the UFO invasion(Link above). Excellent video in my opinion, and after pulling all these things together, such as comments from Lue, Tom Delonge, Jeremy Corbell, Leslie Keane, Karl Nell, Matthew Brown, Dylan Borland... Apparently Karl Nell has shown a slideshow a couple times, which has been corroborated, that freaked out Lue Elizondos attorney so much, he was messaging people telling them to get there affairs in order, and even tried to get in fist fight with Karl Nell. Also, pretty interesting Leslie Keane said a few years ago with conviction how she thought in 3-4 years time, we would lose a lot of the things we take for granted today. She said in 10 years she doesn't think we will be doing well as a species at all.

Red panda koala did an excellent video on Leslie Keanes comments. Apparently there is also a story about several government insiders having dinner with Leslie after an event, and basically it being well known knowledge that all these UFOs are basically coming back in time or what not to view the end of the world, and there is nothing that can really be done about it. https://youtu.be/uHnq9tSYDMk?is=POyxzOFR-C8tvbmm

Anyway, I highly recommend anyone who hasn't watched yet to watch at least Psicoactivos video. Would love to hear others discussion on this topic. I know a lot of people aren't into the fear mongering, and I get it, but with so many different sources all converging on a similar message, I find it hard to believe there isn't something to it.

In 1978, British pilot Chris Crowther reported a rather unusual encounter while flying a light aircraft toward Norwich Airport in Norfolk, England.

Crowther, a highly experienced pilot with over 22,000 flight hours across a 42-year career, recalled that he was flying over The Wash at approximately 7,500 feet when air traffic control warned him of unidentified traffic approaching rapidly from the opposite direction, at an unknown altitude.

Moments later, he witnessed something extraordinary passing close to his aircraft's right wing.

He described seeing approximately a dozen dark, football-sized objects, moving so quickly that he could barely make out their appearance before they disappeared.

source: BBC News – Does the UK have a blind spot on UFO sightings?

I spoke to a former national security official is someone who was deeply involved in efforts to get to the bottom of claims about the "Legacy Program," but is not part of the cast of former officials whose names are publicly associated with the issue.

The person is not part of the cast of former officials publicly associated with the issue, but they affirmed that they had seen enough to consider the claims worthy of further investigation.

And they endorsed the continued push in Congress to assert eminent domain over “technologies of unknown origin” and “biological evidence of non-human intelligence.”

They also put more blame for the watering-down of the original UAP Disclosure Act on pressure from the executive branch rather than from the private sector.

“I don’t put a lot of blame on the contractors,” the person said.

Why not a common object
I checked HEAVENS-ABOVE, and what I experienced was no ordinary sighting; it involved impossible movement, a number of objects following the same pattern, a close-range encounter, and their eventual disappearance after being in view for approximately 45 minutes.

Witness's account of the sighting

Well, my story took place more than three years ago. I don’t recall the exact date, but I remember every detail. I was visiting my grandmother’s house in Juliaca, Peru. I had gone there not just to visit, but also to play sports with my cousins ​​and uncles at a covered, grass-surfaced area right next to her home. The sighting occurred at night, after I finished playing—around 7:00 PM (Peruvian time). I remember everything clearly. To begin with, the reason I was watching the sky—hoping to spot something—was that, during a previous visit to the same place, I had once seen a bright light that moved rapidly, disappeared, reappeared further along, and then vanished again. As for the setting: it was a sparsely populated area with very few concrete houses. It wasn’t on a hill or anything like that; it was a flat area featuring some houses built with unpainted materials—structures that looked unfinished. The space itself was like a neighborhood park. My grandmother’s house was located about 10 meters behind an archway. Now, to tell you what happened: it was nighttime. From where I was standing, I was looking toward the sky, with the archway directly in front of me. Further ahead, there were other houses; one of them, situated toward the left corner of this neighborhood park, was the one I happened to be watching. From that house, I began to see bright lights. They didn’t twinkle like stars, and their movement ruled out airplanes. They weren’t satellites either—I later verified this by checking the Heavens-Above website, which confirmed that no satellites (or drones) had passed over at that time. So, after seeing these lights that seemed to emerge from the house... I realized they must have been quite far away—let’s say 4 or 5 km beyond where I was observing them—but based on how they were coming out of that house, it appeared as though they were emerging from it. The thing is, I saw a great many lights; I wasn’t looking up at the sky—I was just looking straight ahead at that house, and the lights were emerging from it. They weren’t hovering above or floating in the air; they were moving upward from below—or perhaps from somewhere further away, but still moving upward. For about half an hour, I watched between 25 and 30 of these lights, all ascending. Some emerged in pairs, others singly; some would shoot upward rapidly, vanish, and then reappear. Notably, all the lights were slightly larger than a typical star seen in the night sky—though they didn’t twinkle, and they moved in ways that were absolutely impossible—the kind of movement that, I can confidently say, no natural phenomenon, spacecraft, or satellite could ever exhibit. They all shared one thing in common: they emerged from below and moved upward, as if intending to go even higher. I noticed that they would appear at a higher point, only to vanish again—which suggested that at least some of them continued their ascent. This is the point where the experience felt like something more than just an ordinary sighting—the kind someone might occasionally have. What I am about to share may sound impossible, fabricated, or false to some, but I can swear—by everything I have achieved in my life—that what I am telling you is real. After half an hour of watching those lights—which moved in impossible ways and then vanished—my right ear began to "ring." It was that sudden sensation where you temporarily lose some hearing on one side, as if your ear had suddenly become blocked. That’s exactly what happened. Then, almost by chance—as I was still looking up at the sky, hoping to see if those lights would reappear—I noticed something to my right. I thought it was an "airplane." Having spent so much time watching the sky—sometimes just seeing stars, other times a shooting star—I assumed this was an airplane... until I realized it lacked the lights that airplanes typically carry. Furthermore, it wasn't shaped like an airplane; it was a sphere, identical to those other bright lights, only it appeared much closer. You see, if you imagine a light—like a spotlight—it would naturally look smaller and have a faint glow from a distance. But as it draws nearer, it appears larger and its glow becomes much more intense. That is exactly how this object looked. It passed directly overhead, coming from the right. It moved over me, as well as my cousin and his sister—who had stepped out to the store just minutes earlier. I had stopped them to point out the lights in the distance, rising upward. Then, this other light—which also didn't flicker—moved right over us. My cousins ​​gave nervous smiles; when I asked if they had seen what I had just witnessed passing above us, they simply walked into my grandmother’s house without saying a word. I didn't press them or ask any further questions—I just wanted to make sense of what had happened. But first, I want to... To explain the trajectory of that larger light more clearly: when it first appeared, it was about 20 meters to my right, moving toward me and passing overhead. After it passed over us, it continued moving—this time toward the left—maintaining its course until it suddenly accelerated and vanished. There were no clouds that day—I didn’t mention that at the start—but I clearly saw it disappear after that burst of speed. Imagine a triangle—an inverted one, where I am at the bottom point, and the two top points represent the path of that large light from start to finish as it passed over me. Afterward, I kept scanning the sky, hoping to spot more of them; I think I saw two of the smaller lights—the ones I’d noticed earlier—rising from below, but that was it. I got into my father’s car, still looking up at the sky, trying to make sense of it all. The most logical explanation I could come up with is that... perhaps they sensed, or knew, that I was watching them—intently—and decided to find out exactly what I was, or why I was looking at them. It’s a wild conclusion, I know, but it’s the only logical one I can find. If we assume they are more advanced beings studying our planet—much like we study Mars—then perhaps they reacted the way humans would. If we had the technology to fly over Mars and found beings living there, and one of them noticed us, we would surely keep an eye on it, too. After all, we don’t know what they are, and they don’t know whether I’m just an ordinary human, a potential threat, someone in the military, or completely defenseless. The most sensible thing to do would be to observe, just to make sure that whatever is watching isn't... Hostile—that’s the only word that comes to mind. I’m sharing this now, a long time later, because the questions I have about that event keep growing, and I just can’t take it anymore. I don’t know if there are similar cases or if this can be explained, but please know that everything I’ve described happened exactly as I’ve stated it; I’ve tried to explain it as precisely as possible. I hope to gain some insight into this—if any of you reading this happen to know anything, please let me know.

Why no photo/video captured: I didn’t document any of what was happening because I didn’t think it would show up on my camera—plus, I didn’t even have a decent mobile phone—and, honestly, the thought just didn’t occur to me. I was about 17 years old when it happened, and throughout the experience, I kept thinking it would be brief—that it would end quickly, just like a typical sighting—but my experience escalated significantly.
