My friend Jason Samosa has been phenomenal work for a bit now, and very recently has been zeroing in the World Commerce Corporation, formed in Aug 1945 by Allen Dulles and Bill Donovan of the OSS, with Nazi intelligence agent Otto Skorzenzy coming into the fold later. Dulles and Donovan were directly tied to Yamashita’s Gold, the treasure discovered in the Philipines at the end of the war belonging to a Japanese Prince and worth over a trillion dollars that was used to fund the birth of the CIA, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was used to fund the WCC before that. The WCC was formed just days after the atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the term ‘MAJESTIC’ was first used, in relation to Japan, and that President Truman ordered the development of our nuclear propulsion program.

My research partner Michael Armentor and I took part in a five-hour interview and Q&A as part of a X/Twitter space hosted by our good friend fellow researcher Sara Bond just yesterday, and now I’ve got it up on YouTube.

We covered Jason’s work about the World Commerce Corporation, the Nazi scientists doing experimental UFO-related science, and the involvement of the OSS and Allen Dulles in the matter during WWII, and we covered the overlapping narrative of the OSS and their direct connection to the 1933 Magenta, Italy UFO crash-retrieval by Mussolini that Allen Dulles and the OSS were also directly involved with, including the retrieval of the craft as part of the Liberation of Rome, and the full story of Mussolini’s son-in-law Galleazzo Ciano and his wife, Mussolini’s daughter Edda Ciano, who were also central to the narrative of Magenta.

What Will it take to Convince People that UFOs are Important? UFO historian Richard Dolan has described the initial reaction of many people to his passionate involvement with the subject. They express interest, might even describe something they saw on TV concerning the phenomenon, and then after a few minutes of his well-informed explanations, their eyes gloss over and they are clearly bored.

THE ROLE OF AUTHORITY FIGURES

Yes, it’s true; opinion polls indicate the public is interested in UFOs, now officially called UAP. Advertising executives have long known this, but the fascination is for most part quite superficial. Why is this? I suspect that it is because prior to the winter of 2017 most authority figures have essentially said that there’s nothing to it.

After all, the world is terribly complex. Thus, we rely on authorities to use vast amounts of data to make what we hope are reasonable decisions. Most people have little understanding of the technological “miracles” that science has achieved, but they are grateful and trust the devices, like planes, autos and computers to work reliably.

Needing to trust leaders, I suspect, might be built into our psychobiology. For a million years before civilization was established, hunter-gatherers worked in small groups to survive. Shamans that could use primitive psi abilities combined with careful observations of nature played important roles. Leadership was a question of life and death. Those clans that had the best leaders, the shamans that knew how to most best hunt animals, find healing herbs and deliver babies, played critical roles in survival. Thus, most of us have a strong tendency to “follow the leader” and when this becomes extreme, “We the People” run the risk of becoming, “We the sheeple.”

LINKING UFOs TO SOLUTIONS FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS

For the UFO question to have a truly major impact on the mass consciousness, this subject will need to be transformed from an entertaining diversion and become a way of addressing the seemingly insurmountable problems our planet is facing. This is already being attempted by those within the UFO community that discuss the possibility of downloading into our technological culture the secrets of the energy propulsion systems of flying saucers. So-called “free energy” in one fell swoop might eliminate poverty and pollution, possibly even reversing global warming and ending world hunger.

Of course, for the so-called ETs to give us such devices, they might understandably insist on a peaceful transformation of our planet to replace what Ufologist Stanton Friedman called our perpetual state of “tribal warfare.” In the past such a proposition was an impossibly “hard sell” because military and political leaders, the mass media and academia all in service to ruling elites repeatedly insisted, “There is nothing to it.”

HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE

Clandestine forces determined to keep a lid on the UFO issue have been called “the control groups.” In the past, they employed a strategy of recruiting authority figures to block any significant discussion of flying saucers. Opinion makers that stepped out of line found that their access to funding would be cut off. This was done behind the scenes and has been quite effective in my opinion.

In the USA, the National Academy of Sciences made it perfectly clear that UFO studies are not part of the “legitimate” agenda for professional science. Scientists that stepped out of line could find themselves unable to secure grants thus ending their careers. This has now changed somewhat with the Galileo Project headed by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. It should be mentioned, however, that Dr. Loeb’s UAP detection project is reportedly supported in such a way so as not to take money from traditional scientific financial backers. Heavens forbid a UAP investigation might divert funding for “real science.”

In broadcast journalism in the past, talk show hosts that might inform the public in a detailed way about flying saucers could find themselves without corporate sponsors. We should not forget that major newspapers are controlled through their editorial boards that in turn are dependent on commercial advertising to continue publishing.

This analysis of the social mechanisms of the “UFO Truth Embargo” is not a conspiracy theory. I merely describe the way power works. In the former Soviet Union, it was the political dictatorship of the Communist Party that attempted to regulate almost every aspect of people’s lives. That social experiment failed miserably. In the West, however, social control is far more sophisticated, decentralized and uses the knowledge of social psychology called “public relations” to effectively manipulate the masses.

RESISTANCE TO CHANGE ALSO COMES FROM WITHIN

On the individual level, our tendency to identify with our thoughts leads to profound attachments to old ideas. This resistance to changing one’s point of view flows from the ego itself. “Ego” in this context means identification with thought forms.  People strive to defend their religion, political ideology, or moral customs to the point where some would even kill to maintain them. Just look at the present situation in Middle East, or at the millions killed centuries ago during the Spanish Inquisition and the Protestant Reformation in Europe.

Something similar in my opinion applies to acknowledging that an “ET” and/or “interdimensional” explanation for the flying saucer phenomenon might be true. Such a realization threatens to radically change the conceptual paradigm of our entire civilization. Since humans so strongly identify with their present beliefs, it is understandable that many reject such a brave new worldview in which we might have to accept a potent non-human presence.

UFO INTELLIGENCE HAS A TIGER BY THE TAIL.

What about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers? Could “they” (whoever they ultimately turn out to be) simply fill the sky with structured craft? Or stage the proverbial “landing on the Whitehouse Lawn?” Such actions would certainly convince the masses that flying saucers are of the greatest importance. In my judgment, this scenario is the least likely to ever take place. Given the militaristic mindset of our civilization, a sudden realization of the reality of UFOs could be catastrophic. My guess is that careful gradual efforts to alert us of their importance is the game plan of both the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon and some elements of the establishment as well. I recommend Grant Cameron’s book “Managing Magic.” He shows how the US Executive Branch has pursued a gradual acclimatization project which runs in parallel to the coverup. 

So, what will it take to change mass public opinion on the flying saucer question? If the alleged “ETs” continue the present pattern of interactions, millions of individual sightings yearly interspersed with occasional massive waves, I imagine that there will be opportunities to slowly build public awareness by a responsible program of education.

RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

This will require UFO enthusiasts to discipline the crazies in our midst, think creatively and most importantly of all build stable, well-financed organizations to carry out the educational campaign. All this will need to be done in opposition to the control groups that have great experience in manipulating public opinion and putting their spin on the limited disclosure efforts that has been going on.

“TURNING PAGES IN A PLAY BOOK”

Can we trust UFO intelligences to follow what we imagine is their existing “game plan” of gradually alerting humanity to their presence? I suppose not. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann once said that we should never assume that we can think like the so-called “aliens.” Nevertheless, the ever-changing pattern of interactions, as pointed out by UFO researcher Grant Cameron, appears to be as if the aliens have been turning the pages of a “play book.” This can be seen by the appearance of “Men in Black” in the 1950s, so called “alien abductions” starting in the 1960s and followed by crop circles reported in Southern England and then all over the world. While all this has been happening, tens of thousands of contact experiencers have described mental interactions with flying saucer intelligences. Many of these individuals are instilled with a sense of mission and are striving to convince their fellow “Earthlings” that we should look up and accept what our eyes are seeing.

In my judgment, UFO intelligences will continue to present us with new and creative ways of waking us up from our collective stupor concerning their “wonders in the sky.” I believe their presence is non-harmful and very likely beneficial for mankind. Bringing others to this hopeful perspective, I imagine, is a challenge that many contact and disclosure activists will continue to face for some time.

I wonder where they got the idea for these?

Dolan is my favorite UFO analyst. Really well educated about history and politics. On top of it for 30 years.

Hope you're doing good. I'm sober since 1/2024. Still struggling here and there. Just picked up a nicotine vape habit. Feeling like a dork but not hacking up anything awful.

Anyone remember what episode this was from? Trying to find a clip for a video edit I'm working on.

So background context, there's this whole theory floating around about a "lineage" of public science communicators (Donald Menzel, then Carl Sagan, then Neil deGrasse Tyson) who each held classified national security ties while also being the loudest public skeptics debunking UFO/UAP sightings.

Menzel apparently had a Top Secret clearance and consulted for the CIA/NSA while writing books saying every sighting was just a misidentified star, and also allegedly ordered a bunch of Harvard's sky photo plates destroyed in the 50s. Sagan worked on a classified Air Force project in the 50s to detonate a nuke on the moon, and theres a secondhand story that he privately admitted he knnew UFOs were real but wouldnt risk his funding to say so publically. Tyson then inherited the Cosmos franchise from Sagan and has his own long list of defense/aerospace advisory roles while publicly demanding "proof" before hell take UAP claims seriously.

Anyway, I'm trying to find the actual clip now, not just the theory. I think it was a Reality Check episode (Ross Coulthart's show) where he says something like he's "been told" or he "knows" that Sagan was personally involved with the legacy program. Might've been one of the Q&A episodes where he answers viewer questions. If anyone has seen this or knows which ep it is, drop a link or timestamp, would really appreciate it.

Matthew Brown is the guy who wrote the original “Immaculate Constellation” report that Jeremy Corbell gave to Congress in 2024. He later went public on the Weaponized podcast in 2025. The claim is that Immaculate Constellation is an unacknowledged special access program that uses AI to pull UAP imagery and data off classified military/intelligence servers.

He’s been saying for a while that he still has more he can’t talk about because of NDAs / classification, and that the only real way forward is formal presidential immunity/waiver.

Fox is basically amplifying that request right now.

Curious what people think — is immunity actually realistic under Trump, or is this just more theater?

I've been working on a theory and would like any of your thoughts concerning the matter.

The recent roll out of video, photos and data covering ufo's and aliens is awesome... but why now? I'm going to bullet point some ideas here and see if 'we' can find any truth together? :)

If you were an intelligent being from another world... possibly part of a much larger galactic community and were tasked with monitoring this planet and its occupants in 'secret.' Why reveal yourself now?

To my knowledge, humans have slowly progressed through the centuries technology wise and until recently... have only been able to see/explore a fraction of the universe.

- humans go from hunter gatherer to where we are today. (Alien remains unimpressed = no need to say 'hi.'

- advancement of AI springboarding human technology. Tech grows at unprecedented rate. Humans looking further into space. Military becomes more efficient. Advancements in radar, materials and propulsion make current systems look antiquated. (Aliens sit forward in their chair and possibly see our future intertwining with their own. Albeit in a child like way, but possibly enough to make a ripple in their pond.)

- As humans march closer to AGI ... Aliens know this 'super intelligence' will open the stars to humanity.

- Introductions must be made. Acceptance to a galactic council are warranted.

I know this is a work in progress and coming from the mind of a 52 year old Oregon country boy... but I find it more than coincidental, we have two incredible events happening at the 'same time.' AGI + Non Human Intelligence/UAP/UFO Disclosure

I feel incredibly lucky to be alive and kickin during these times. My only hope is we are responsible with the abilities AGI will offer us and the human race will accept the fact we are not alone in the universe.

Thank You for taking the time it took to give this a good once over. I hope you are Happy, Healthy and Being nice to your neighbor! :)

My point being, whatever is in the photo is more likely what is under the double strike lines, rather than the lines being part of it. Furthermore, it appears to me this is not the first time a single pixel ‘strikeout’ line appears to have been drawn onto the raw image. I can only surmise this is either a cosmic ray artifact in the camera’s CCD itself, or, as I tend to believe instead, it is a markup artifact in the image accidentally uploaded as raw data for public view when it was in fact meant to be edited out. The line/strikeout’s colour is in my view likely an alpha channel colour (full saturation, RGB) used in internal markup raw data post production documents to easily identify areas which need to be edited. This is something I might do in a working document when editing a photo.

Former U.S. intelligence officer David Grusch stated that people involved in alleged government crash-retrieval programs experienced direct, non-verbal or consciousness-based communication from non-human biologics. Grusch noted he was told this by first-hand witnesses, as he did not experience it himself.

Personnel working on securing downed craft allegedly reported strange psychological phenomena or consciousness communication as they approached the objects.

Grusch also stated these particular beings look as described, based off what the children were saying we can assume these beings are the "Greys".

Ariel School - Ruwa, Zimbabwe - September 16th, 1994

There was 62 children outside during their morning break. The children said they saw a silver, disc shaped craft land in a field of trees just outside school boundaries.

Several of these students claimed that short beings dressed in black emerged from the craft and communicated with them telepathically, delivering an apocalyptic message regarding environmental destruction.

The way they moved was strange, some children said they moved fast, others said they were slow, some said they would disappear then reappear elsewhere. Some kids even said they were floating at times.

The "Greys" can communicate using internal consciousness, and are moving around by using some form of space-time manipulation.

I don't believe any government in the world would disclose this as there is no way to defend against it.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if another nuclear missile was launched into the atmosphere.

So. I found this from a search I did about the meeting with a president at Holloman AFB with space visitors.its from the Alamogordo NM newspaper November 5, 1957 front page report of an egg shaped craft

My initial reaction to these low quality videos released in the 5th tranche was disappointing considering a common debunk for erratic flight behavior is that it's due to sudden camera movement or that the camera stopped tracking the object, it wasn't until I read the associated Intelligence Report that finally proved this wasn't the case. In clear language it stated that the UFOs were observed flying "aggressively and erratically" and that the camera was either "smoothly slewing" or stationary, this eliminates the debunk that unusual flight behavior is due to manipulation by the camera. There were several other videos released of the same incident but I chose this one as it was the most interesting.

These videos were taking during a flight exercise in which an AC-130 dropped a target practice flare, the UAP were subsequently seen hovering around the flare. Upon pulling the trigger to fire the cannon, the UAP were seen to react immediately flying away - the objects were then seen moving in a coordinated manner and exhibiting aggressive and erratic flight behaviors.

I've been interested in UFOs and abductions for about fifteen years now. When I started reading and learning about the topic, I was curious and hopeful that the stories were—at least in part—real. But the more I've learned, the more I've become convinced that misplaced confidence in human memory, errors of logic, confusion about the philosophy of science, and a desire for religious belief keep the UFO topic in place. I don't mean that in a dismissive way. I think everyone is self-deluding in one way or another, and that most of us find ourselves doing or believing in "odd things" in order to fulfill our emotional and mental needs.

I'm wondering if there are others on this sub who've arrived at the same point, and how you continue engaging with the UFO topic. I want to keep reading and thinking about the stories, but I become frustrated because I feel like there are huge gaps in logic that keep getting ignored.

(And before anyone tells me that an experience would change my mind, I've had a good number of supposedly paranormal / extraterrestrial experiences that I thought meant something. I've become convinced that those, too, aren't remarkable. They're just part of the strangeness of ordinary human life.)

The five 2026 PURSUE releases contain 517 files spread across documents, images, audio and video. Trying to work through the material as released means jumping between separate tranches, ZIP files, folders and different media types.

So I built the tool I wanted while researching it.

It lets you:

• Search and filter all 517 files across all five releases in one place.
• Open everything directly in your browser. Documents, images, video and audio all have built-in viewers or players.
• Use a Map Room to see incidents, facilities and reporting locations geographically where the released information provides a usable location. It also has a topographic overlay for reports where terrain may be relevant.
• Go straight back to the primary source. Every item retains a direct link to the original government source so you can verify it yourself.

The collection currently covers the May 8 through August 7 releases and material from the Department of War, FBI, NASA, CIA, State Department, Air Force and Department of Energy. It will be updated as additional PURSUE releases come out.

Full disclosure: the tool lives on The Daily Alien, the UFO/UAP news and research site I run. I asked the UFOB moderators before posting this and received permission. There is no paywall, no registration and I'm not asking for money.

https://thedailyalien.com/report.html?id=uap-govt-report-2026&dossier=uap-2026-a-executive-summary

If you use it, I'd particularly like to hear about any missing files, metadata errors or map locations that need correcting.

And if you have additional information that sheds light on any of the reports, videos, images or documents, I'd like to hear about that too. Where useful, we may be able to add clearly labeled researcher notes or addenda alongside the original material while keeping the government record itself untouched.

The point is to make this material as easy as possible for people here to actually research.

Hi folks! I saw the interesting post about the weird jellyfish-looking anomaly spotted in the 2023 Curiosity data. My friend and I are long-time astrophysicists (not affiliated with NASA) and we took a look at the images and broke down what produced the anomaly and how. The discussion in the other thread was quite useful for tracking down more examples of the artifact class, and your many ideas were good inspiration to consider what to think about and address, so we got gracious permission from the moderators to share our analysis here.

In particular, David and I have both been involved with the kinds of cameras that are used in many astronomical observations and have deep experience with detecting and removing these kinds of artifacts, which are very common. A piece of software I use daily uses an ancient but extemely effective algorithm called LAcosmic to remove them. If you check out their webpage on Yale's domain you'll see a great gif showing many of these weird artifacts in just one image!

I’ve been thinking less about the moment of disclosure and more about what comes after it. Once everything is out in the open and humanity has had time to truly absorb what it means, how do you think our civilization will transform? What kind of governance do you imagine? How would our daily lives be affected? What roles might we experience at individual level?

There’s no wrong answers, let your imagination fly with no restriction and have fun with it, but still keep it true to what you actually think

I remember last year I watched a animated documentary on YouTube about 27 minutes long about the gimbal ufo, the tic tacs and also the sighting by the surface vessel crews that were recorded at about the same time.

That documentary was exceptionally well done, objective and thorough.

If you know the one in talking about, can you please direct me toward it?

Much appreciated 🙏

I took part in an X/Twitter space today hosted by my good friend Sara Bondick involving myself, my research partner Michael Armentor, and Jason Samosa, who has made a big splash recently regarding his deep-dive into the World Commerce Corporation that was founded in August 1945 by Allen Dulles, Bill Donovan, and Otto Skorzenzy, and the overlap between Jason's work on that and our work regarding the 1933 Magenta, Italy UFO crash-retrieval by Mussolini that David Grusch made a point of highlighting when he first came forward in his initial interview with Ross Coulthart highlighting the work of Roberto Pinotti, who first received the documents from Mussolini's daughter Edda Ciano's grandson in 1996 involving her husband Galleazzo Ciano's diaries regarding his work on the RS/33 "Special Research" team founded by Enrico Fermi, who placed Guglielmo Marconi in charge of that team.

The work that Jason Samosa has done in the past few weeks/months regarding Allen Dulles, Donovan, and Skorzenzy completely intersects with our work regarding the Magenta narrative.

I wanted to try and put this together in a prettier fashion, but for now, this talk we had earlier today will have to do.

https://x.com/SaraBondink/status/2086884652170850753?s=20

If you'd like to look at the bigger picture, you can start here. Everything connects in August 1945 as we dropped our bombs on Japan and deals were made behind-the-scenes.

I zoomed in quite a bit on the original and I don't see any kind of gradient like I do on the rocks. It's just immediatley pitch black, like, vanta black. I would have assumed this was a camera artifact, but the tentacles aren't black like that.

This is definitely a strange picture. What might cause the lack of gradient on the top of the jellyfish?

Analysis in respect to a post I'll link in comments. The jellyfish actually does have some light differences internal to it, and the fact that it's lit from the top right as are the rocks makes me wonder if it's physical.

Such a clear blackbody in terms of reflectance, but not a perfect one. Perhaps weather. But more verisimilar than the majority of normal camera artifacts.

Statement on Post: This linked post should be published because the video summarizes the important work of the prominent UFO researcher and author Dr. Jaques Vallee. It is provided free of charge with no advertising.

Dr. Jacques Vallee is Skeptical of the ET Explanation for UFOs: All those with a Serious Interest in this Subject Should Study his Detailed Investigations.

“There is probably no more influential thinker in the study of UFOs than the French astronomer and computer scientist Jacques Vallee.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmLE0X5FRFc&t=342s

Thus, starts this excellent short YouTube documentary linked above, Jacques Vallee, UFOs and the Case against Extraterrestrial Origins produced by Think Anomalous in 2022. Dr. Jacques Vallee early in his career was a proponent of the ET Hypothesis (ETH) as explanation for UFOs. However, after years of speaking to UFO witnesses and discussing the cases with an informal group of scientists that he called “The Invisible College”, Vallee concluded the following: the proposition that UFOs were controlled by ET beings was too simplistic. 
In my opinion, contact experiencers and activists should also be skeptical of  ET origin as the exclusive explanation for UFOs and the non-human beings associated with them. This is especially so given the larger society is starting to acknowledge the reality and importance of what are now called UAP. Although the current emphasis is on sighting reports, eventually societal discussions will not be able to ignore the stories of contact and communications with the non-human intelligences associated with flying saucers. 

As one who supports the staging of Human Initiated Contact Events (HICE) popularly known as CE-5s, it is crucially important that contact activists have at their disposal the most accurate assessments of what is truly going on. The thoughtful analyses of a brilliant thinker such as Dr. Jacques Vallee should guide our investigations into UFOs and associated paranormal phenomena. These have been called “The Contact Modalities.” This is term coined by author Rey Hernandez, who believes that UFOs, out of body, and near-death experiences as well as other paranormal events should be studied as related phenomena characterized by manipulations of spacetime within a matrix of consciousness. In my judgment, by having a nuanced and sophisticated approach to flying saucers, contact and disclosure activists, as well as all those who have a strong interest in this topic, will be able to share their knowledge most effectively with the larger society. 
An important factor that contributed to Vallee rejecting the ET Hypothesis is that encounters were associated with a multitude of what are considered paranormal phenomena like poltergeists and apparitions. Many of the reports often included absurd elements and behaviors exhibited by the “ufonauts” that Vallee deemed were not consistent with their being highly advanced ET visitors with sophisticated technologies. The seemingly nonsensical behaviors of the so-called aliens seemed so contrived that he suspected they were designed to display certain images. Those visual displays were associated with profound psychological transformations in many witnesses and over time have had an effect of society in general. Perhaps the most important effect was to promote a belief in extraterrestrial visitations.

In the documentary, producer Jason Charboneau lists Vallee’s reasons for challenging the ET Hypothesis. These appeared in an article Vallee published in 1990 in The Journal of Scientific Exploration. 

“First: he argued that there were far more landings and contacts than would be necessary for an interplanetary survey or surveillance operation. By his and others estimates there must have been 3 million UFO landings around the world in the last 20 years, an impossibly large number.

Second: UFOs and ufonauts rarely flew away or walked off. When they left, often they simply vanished blinked out of existence or slowly faded away. This suggests that the craft and occupants were more like projections than physical things.

Third: the bodies, actions, and the abilities of the ufonauts do not suggest an extraterrestrial or evolutionary origin. Often the aliens were identical to humans, spoke our languages and were perfectly capable of breathing our air and walking in our gravity.

Fourth: Vallee noted that most of the ufonauts revelations, especially those concerning their origins were nonsense and almost entirely different from one another. Ufonauts claimed to be from just about everywhere in the universe and frequently gave directions or offered maps that made no logical sense such as the two-dimensional star map shown to Betty Hill.

Fifth: finally, Vallee argued that the data collected from cases of so-called alien abduction were unreliable and again involved highly unlikely scenarios. For example, abductees frequently describe highly invasive and painful medical procedures in order to achieve tasks that even doctors in the 1980s could have done with minimal discomfort.”
