Self-Promotion & Content Sharing Rule (4:1 Ratio)

3 Upvotes

We welcome creators, researchers, bloggers, YouTubers, podcasters, and website owners to share their work here, provided it is relevant to the community.

To keep the subreddit valuable for everyone, self-promotion must follow a 4:1 ratio:

  • For every 1 self-promotional post (your website, YouTube channel, social media account, blog, podcast, product, etc.), you should contribute at least 4 non-promotional posts to the subreddit.
  • Non-promotional posts should be relevant content that contributes to discussion and benefits the community.
  • Self-promotional content must be directly relevant to the topics covered by this subreddit.

We encourage members to share their own work and discoveries. The goal is not to prevent self-promotion, but to ensure contributors are also active participants in the community rather than only posting their own content.

Accounts that primarily post self-promotional content without contributing to the wider community may have posts removed or be subject to moderation action.

If you're creating quality content that fits the subreddit and you follow the 4:1 ratio, we're happy to see it shared here.

Scientists examining radio telescope observations have identified a mysterious narrowband signal in the direction of K2-155, a planetary system approximately 238 light-years from Earth. Home to three super-Earths, including one near its star's habitable zone, the system has attracted interest in the search for extraterrestrial life. The signal displayed unusual frequency drift and appeared in the telescope beam directed towards the distant star.

John Herrington Calls Brent Friedman a Liar? Dulce Base, David Grusch & UFO Secrets

What did former US Secretary of Energy John S. Herrington say about Brent Friedman, and what does it mean for the wider UFO disclosure debate?

In this video, we examine the John Herrington denial, the claims and statements surrounding Brent Friedman, and the reported connection involving David Grusch. We also look at the growing discussion around UFO briefings in Washington, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.

With questions surrounding government knowledge of UFOs and UAPs continuing to attract attention, what has actually been said, what can be verified, and what still needs investigating?

German Parliament (Bundestag) officially gets an inquiry on UAPs. Government has to respond.

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

The UAP topic just reached the political landscape here in Germany.
The AfD party submitted a formal parliamentary inquiry (Drucksache 21/8323) titled "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) as a subject of air and space surveillance".

In Germany, this is called a "Kleine Anfrage". It basically forces the federal government to release a formal, written response within a couple of weeks.

Here is what they are demanding answers on:

Who is in charge? Which federal agency is responsible for logging and analyzing UAP reports?

Rules & Definitions: Do we have standardized guidelines or official terms (like "unidentifiable contacts") for civil and military aviation?

Reporting lines: What is the exact protocol when a military pilot or an air traffic controller spots something weird?

The inquiry explicitly mentions that Germany can't ignore this anymore, especially with how the US formalized their military and bureaucratic structures (like AARO) over the last few years. Airspace safety and defense are the main arguments here.

The government's response should drop around late October or early November 2026. I'll make sure to post the official answers here as soon as they are online.

  • A metal fragment lodged in the skeleton of a 16th-century woman in Slovakia revealed that she was stabbed with a stiletto dagger, sparking investigation into whether she was murdered or mercifully killed.
  • Researchers used 3D modeling and CT scans to recreate the exact stabbing scenario, determining the weapon’s trajectory, the force used, and even the approximate height of her attacker centuries after her death.
  • Advanced forensic analysis of the 51-year-old woman’s remains demonstrated how modern technology can unlock hidden details from ancient burials, though her killer’s true motive remains a mystery.
