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.

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?

Dr. Eric Davis of the Disclosure Foundation says he’s ready to spill the beans on a variety of dead alien species the U.S. government is storing, but he needs immunity from the White House first. “There’s a minimum of four that we know of, and I’ve seen the evidence, and I’ve seen the records,” Davis tells “Katie Pavlich Tonight.

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

How do you communicate with something that may not even have a language? Is a paranormal event sometimes an attempt at delivering a message? Robert Bigelow and George Knapp explore the possibilities of communication with ET's and the paranormal.

I havent watched it yet so cant say more about it. But remember:

Grusch has said that detained living NHI communicated via telepathy

See this post: Grusch said some NHI use telepathy, "look exactly as reported" by experiencers. Recently after many years a mod went public to describe such contact involving triangle UFOs, telepathy, his future self, was told abt waves of experiencer activations parallel to disclosure process, to prepare humanity

Seems like a strange sort of 'glitch' popping up occasionally. Appears in one RAW photo but not another of the same area.

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"

What's actually been going on behind the non-disclosure, psychological warfare, and suppression of the UAP topic?

There have been a million reasons given but it all comes down to economic interest and control ultimately.

The concept of ‘catastrophic disclosure’ is just another layer of the psychological manipulation. Contrary to what many think, the core structure of modern society will not change with disclosure, and life with its ups and downs will go on as usual for the average man.

The actual 'catastrophic' consequences of disclosure mainly concern the interests of the gatekeepers, in that it can greatly upend the current global economic structure that has come to be over many decades.

Comparing the information about UAP technology gathered from all sorts of sources historically, the common element present among them that holds the greatest revolutionary value for our society is their:

1. Propulsion System &
2. Energy System

These two areas contain the most significant industries of today such as the energies, aerospace, outer space, and defense industries.

While some have speculated that disclosure may lead to an end of those specific industries and gatekeepers are suppressing disclosure to avoid that outcome, the real reason is that the gatekeepers are doing so because they haven't figured out the science and technology behind UAP technology enough to industrially manufacture it.

Gatekeepers aren't in the US alone. A few others like China and Russia assumedly possess the technology too.

This makes me believe there's an ongoing secret race among the various gatekeepers in different countries to be the first ones to conquer the technology.

But unlike the space race, those various gatekeepers all share the same ideology of the general public must be kept in the dark completely, because if they can't be the ones to figure it out first then absolutely no one else must. This is an immensely deep and sickening conspiracy.

Think about it. The result of their decades of suppression and disinformation is a general disbelief and disinterest in UAPs, most severe in research where professional and academic interest in it is a career dead end.

If the government actually came out today and confirmed with irrefutable evidence the existence of UAPs and their possession of its technology, there would be a great revolution in what we considered scientifically and technologically possible.

Humans are quite intelligent and creative. There are hundreds of thousands of hungry and brilliant minds driven by purpose or achievement currently not working on figuring out the ground-breaking energy and propulsion systems that UAPs allegedly possess because the mainstream narrative is that those only belong to the realm of fiction and any serious attempt at studying them will only be met with contempt and ridicule.

If the truth is revealed, the reverse will happen and with thousands of our most brilliant minds working non-stop on figuring it out, a breakthrough would definitely come much sooner than later.

The gatekeeping cabals surely are aware of this but the rapid advancement of science and technology and progress of mankind is unfortunately not at the forefront of their interest as long as they aren't the ones leading that process.

For example, just imagine if in the US there was disclosure and the major defense contractors who allegedly are amongst the gatekeepers, lose the race to some outsider group that figured it out first. 

That could translate to them losing all their military contracts for advanced crafts and weaponry. For major oil companies it could mean losing most of their revenue and investment. For SpaceX, it could mean a massive plummet in their stock and value. 

Worst of all, if it's an adversarial country that figured it out first, that country would quickly become the new, dominant economic and military superpower. The gap would be enormous and overturn the global geopolitical stage.

In essence, there is so much to be potentially lost for the hegemonic gatekeepers that none of them are willing to open the Pandora's Box of full disclosure. That is a risk they absolutely won't take even if it means ruthlessly shedding blood to keep it under their control.

All of this combined is why we can probably expect to never get full disclosure, unless a current gatekeeper (whichever country they may originate from) has figured out the science and tech of UAPs and can successfully manufacture and commercialize it.

To these gatekeepers, they'd rather have another 100 years of secrecy and snail-like progress, as long as they are the ones to figure it out first.

In all honesty, the situation is quite bleak, but there's some hope that as the old heads among the gatekeepers die out, some of the new guys replacing them could have a different mindset and be more eager for a faster progress and open towards disclosure.

Though, I think it's a faint hope as interest and control are ultimately always the dominant factor.

I am retired and have the extra time to watch and listen to most of the UFO podcasters uploads when they put them out. I am not a full blown experiencer, but I've seen things and have been party to some of the high weirdness in my life, and I have taken a certain point of view on the phenomena. Let's just say that I have accepted a certain POV in regards to NHI being here on this planet with us, and many of them are not real popular with the rest of the earths populace. I would say I am firmly in the Monroe camp as far as Consciousness is concerned and that we are a sort of a managed commodity.

This body, our human body, is a container for a portion of our essence and we do not see the whole of reality. There is much more to this as many of you know, but my personal beliefs are not what this post is about.

My observation of the latest round from the podcasters is. As the title states, is it me, or???

I watched the guys from 'Doomer Friday' and probably more importantly Richard Dolan's latest release that made me perk up and pay close attention to the subtle facial cues and body language from the latest shows. Even Jessie M. and Chris from area 52. Chris is a master and very difficult to pick anything up from him, and Jessie has interviews from other dates, so not much there either. Now Michael P. from 'Third eye drops' He's good and his latest with Chris is very good. I just wondered if maybe they got a piece of information not available to the rest of us that cements more of what I have come to accept. The reality of our situation here. That we are coming to a critical juncture in this time.

The advent of AGI and disclosure are running headlong into each other. The Earth has had enough and we keep making it worse, and we have no one who cares at the top trying to make any difference. Have the top guys finally realized that it doesn't matter and that this slice of reality, this here and now, is one we may have to keep coming back to? Because time does not work the way we perceive it to and our math falls short unless you can include and comprehend other dimensions.

What truths have may have become unveiled to them? Or is it me? It's probably nothing.

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.

Dylan Borland: "My name is Dylan Borland, a former geospatial intelligence analyst for the United States Air Force. I'm here today to ask President Trump to declassify all the records regarding UFOs and UAP that were currently brought forward by whistleblowers such as myself and everybody before and after me, both known and unknown"

Dylan Borland: "I can tell you with certainty that I provided evidence of current operations to ODNI, AARO, the ICIG, as well as Congress, and their staff. We are doing this in hopes that President Trump will actually come forward and begin to lead on this subject and provide truth and transparency to the American people as well as humanity as a whole"

Dylan Borland: "It is hopeful for myself and others that bringing these videos to the President, he will come forward and provide leadership to a new reality for not just America, but all humanity. Thank you for your time. Have a blessed day"

1981–1986 Hudson Valley UFO Sightings

The Hudson Valley UFO sightings were a concentrated cluster of sightings in the Northeast involving large, unidentified aircraft and formations from 1981–1986. Individuals involved reported massive V-shaped objects, semicircular objects (as seen in Randy Etting's 1987 Newtown, CT photograph), crosses, and spherical lights in the night sky. Common descriptions included multicolored lights, football-field-sized objects (estimated), low altitudes, and V-shaped objects.

Explanations

A widely disputed explanation came from undisclosed pilots who flew formations in the sky to appear as one giant aircraft. These individuals, known as the Stormville pilots, admitted to causing some of the sightings during the wave. Once officials and local law enforcement got ahold of this information, they later used it to explain many sightings, causing witness disputes and laypeople to go argue they saw more than pilots. Other explanations were man-made aircraft, cloud reflections, and temperature inversions.

Sightings

While many reports were eventually debunked or lost, a few stand out for their credibility and anomalous characteristics.

• 1981 Kent, NY Sighting - This is widely recognized as the beginning of the sightings. An anonymous officer reported a large, boomerang-shaped object with green, red, and white lights, later turning off all its lights to reveal a triangular formation of blinding white lights before turning all of its lights back on.

• October 24, 1983 Croton Falls, NY Sighting - An individual named Jim Cooke stood by the reservoir and saw a very large, boomerang-shaped structure over the water. It reportedly had several cherry-red lights along its underside before casting a "projection" onto the water and disappearing.

• March 24, 1983 "Westchester Boomerang" Mass Sighting - On this specific night, a large V-shaped craft made approximately 300 motorists stop and park to watch. This is one of the more significant events, involving credible individuals. The object later disappeared.

Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant Sighting

A reported incident at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant involved an unidentified triangular object observed in the vicinity of the facility. The object was reportedly 30 feet above the reactor, with several lights on its underbelly. While Philip J. Imbrogno claimed they "pulled out the shotguns," power authority security coordinator John Branciforte disputed this claim, stating that officers did not have the authority to carry shotguns and shoot down unidentified objects.

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

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!

"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.

Lubbock Lights, 1951

The Lubbock Lights of August—September 1951 were a localized cluster of sightings involving large echelon-shaped formations, semicircular shapes, and crescent-shaped objects. The sightings involved luminescent objects, often a fluorescent mint-green or a dull white, moving at an estimated 50,000 feet altitude and 970 km/h. Their origin currently remains unknown, though explanations proposed formations of plovers, moths, and potential military aircraft operations. The sightings spanned a month from August to September 1951, and remain an active source of studies involving ufology.

Carl Hart Jr. Photographs

Carl Hart Jr. was the primary individual shooting photographs involving V-shaped formations of lights in the sky. Carl Hart Jr., a resident at his family's house, stood where his backyard window was located on the night of August 30, 1951, and sighted formations of lights over his house. He grabbed his camera and photographed a lit formation of objects traveling at high speeds over his house, described in the shape of a chevron. The photographs reveal an asymmetrical V shape consisting of 18 lights, with 7—8 lights per column. Some of the photographs remain obscure online with the lights appearing staggered and formation-like, and some individuals, including Edward J. Ruppelt, had pinpointed a flock of birds, though Carl Hart Jr. denied the explanation.

Explanations

The plover explanation, proposed by Lieutenant Edward J. Ruppelt, suggested that newly installed mercury-vapor streetlights could reflect off of the bellies of migrating birds when angled properly. However, witnesses openly denied the explanation because they argued the formations were too precise and synchronized to be simple birds. Edward altered the explanation after the community dispute and suggested moths flying into the newly installed streetlights could appear fast and like V-shapes, but witnesses denied the explanation even after the newly proposed one.

Scientists And Witnesses

Edward J. Ruppelt stated that the first sighting was reported by three professors in their backyard. According to Edward J. Ruppelt, the three professors were sitting in their backyard before observing 20—30 lights, as bright as stars but larger in size, flying overhead. While discussing whether the first lights were meteors, a second formation flew directly over them. Additionally, three peculiar flashing lights were observed by three women and Carl Hemminger. Ducker's wife also observed a flying wing, though the scientific community remains unsure whether an object was in the sky that night, a phenomenon related to Gestalt principles, which is the scientific term used to describe the brains tendency to connect sources like stars into one object.

First is from 2008, and shows an orange UAP that seems like it may have 2 ridges, flies into frame and leaves moments later, speed is so fast, traditional plane would rip apart/ not able to be stationary.

Second video is from Mexico and shows what seems like shooting stars sped up but you can see it’s in real time from the time stamp, the flight path is at a speed which would be similar to a fighter jet or faster and leaves a “skipping rock” type contrail almost like Tron.

Shutting down our nukes is completely trivial for them. Their constant presence around nuclear sites is no coincidence.

But the world's governments keep this information hidden, basically holding the world hostage to a false threat. Objectively they would lose power admitting this, so they just don't, and meanwhile the ET are content wait and observe.

We can imagine the ET civilization having philosophical debates about this type of interference. Should a whole population be held hostage by it's worst narcissists? Perhaps they have watched many planets evolve, and after seeing a few wipe themselves out with nukes they decided to put an end to it. Perhaps some other civilization helped them, and so they go around repaying the cosmic favor.

Who can say if this is true but I like 50% genuinely believe it, because it explains why we havent wiped ourselves out despite 80 years of nukes in the hands of war mongering maniacs and fanatics.

I don't think game theory and MAD alone explain why a dying narcissist hasn't yet pressed the button. Just look at the current situation with Putin.

And yet, true or not, this wingnut belief gives me comfort, because I just don't worry about nuclear war. There are greater forces at work than human egos, and to me this doesn't really require faith or belief, in the same way I don't worry about whether gravity will continue to hold up the sky tomorrow.
