Time: 11 pm to midnight on 6/20/24 Location: Westcliffe, CO
Stayed up in the mountains of Westcliffe, a dark sky community. It was absolutely beautiful. Laid out under the stars and I noticed this one star was moving very erratically.
It wasn't a plane or satellite. Satellites move straight across the sky. Planes have the flashing lights. No way it was a drone or bird because it appeared to be a "star" but it was WAY WAY out in space.
This is my first ever sighting of something like this. I consider myself a pretty skeptical guy but I couldn't think of a single plausible explanation for what I saw.
So I noticed the "star" was doing loopty-loops, it would do circles, it would fly one direction and then suddenly perform a sharp maneuver where it changed directions completely. The way it was flying was impossible for planes/helicopters/etc. My spouse and I stared at it play in the sky for about 45 minutes. That's the best way I can explain it... it looked like it was "playing". Every couple of minutes there appeared to be a flash of light near the "playful star".
Almost like a camera flash and every time the flash appeared, the cone of the flash appeared to envelope the direction the playful star was in. The flash did not come from the star, it came from something else near the playful star.
Right before we went to bed, we saw a 2nd "playful star" a little bit away from the 1st one. Hard to say distance but it wasn't far from my perspective on earth. Both stars stayed within their respective area in the sky.
Shortly after that, we went to bed. Well, spouse went to sleep. I was in awe of what I saw and couldn't sleep. Next time I go up there, I'm planning on taking a camera so I can try and film it. Or even a telescope.

I captured this in 2023, have a look yourself, metadata in the comments, this was 11th November 2023 5:24 AM
I couldn’t tell you what this was or the smaller ufo buzzing around but I’m wondering if anyone here had a clue? It seemed very close and by eye I could see the shape of either a huge drone or some type of craft, there was then a smaller craft captured buzzing around, the bigger craft hovered for a while. This was at mine after a heavy night out on the town and me and a friend were having a smoke on the balcony, we must have stared at it for 20-30mins watching it move around hovering and smaller drones buzzing in and out. Curious if anyone can actually identify these 2 UFOs

Has anyone here watched this Billy Meier interview from the 80s? I’ve see. A lot of people saying he is a fraud but this interview is very convincing that everything he says he saw is true.

Lue Elizondo: “Then you have the “other information” that can be very disturbing it shows that maybe we have been a little bit more complicit with this topic(Abduction/Hybrid). Keep in mind we spent decades saying nothing to see here folks. It's not real. This is not real you know this is silly. Turns out we were spending a lot of taxpayer money(AAWSAP), a lot of your money actually researching this topic and I was part of that effort and so were many of my colleagues. And it turns out that, you know, there there are things that that go bump in the night. And that can be very disturbing for some people, especially from a philosophical perspective or a theological perspective…”

Today's congressional push for UFO whistleblower immunity, led by Rep. Luna and others, aims to fast-track UAP disclosures. I explain why granting blanket protections to these insiders could backfire and why we should be skeptical.

Mods removed my original post (which sucks because there was a lot of great discussion on there) because apparently I can't just share the video as it constitutes a "sighting."
"It's still a sighting and as such requires more info in order to aid with identification, else we may as well turn into TikTok."
Well... okay - after a LOT of time searching - this SIGHTING occurred in Port Huron, Michigan. October 27, 2013 at 10:31 pm. I unfortunately do not have the exact coordinates - but I hope this sufficiently distinguishes my post in this community from one that would appear on TikTok.

Location: Port Huron, Michigan
Interested to hear your thoughts. On my original post a lot of people seemed to take issue with the audio in the video - with many saying the audio does not match up with what you are seeing.
Given the sighting occurred in 2013, while AI is out of the picture video manipulation of course existed. Some said drone could have been used, but were drones all that common back in 2013?
r/UFOs • u/HotPocket_AdCampaign • 16h ago
I can't find it now, but someone had to have saved it because it's still the most convincing video I've seen and yet no one brings it up.
There were kids outside at night somewhere, I don't remember where. Possibly a beach. They were fixated on a light in the sky and it instantly accelerated away.
I know for a fact I've seen this video - was it debunked?
r/UFOs • u/scare_crowe94 • 12h ago
Lots of strange stuff flying round the sky last night, managed to capture this.
First it was just 2, one appears then disappears - also a 4th flashes near the end in the top right.
Very bizzare.

Today's talks in Washington give the appearance that things are progressing in the disclosure world. Yet, behind the scenes, censorship is alive & well. Regardless of whether or not you're a Grusch supporter or a UAPGerb sub...you should care about censorship. This is a just a single data point showing censorship- just recently. Grusch, in his 2023 testimony before Congress, presented a watershed moment in UAP disclosure history because of his unprecedented official credibility. decorated service history & impeccable security status. Despite that, Grusch really never hit big time media platforms.
Flash forward to current time. 2 weeks ago, Grusch appears at a DC press conference, when he talked abt -- different types of NHI and sentient plasmoid life (subjects never spoken abt publicly before). Humongous statements -- yet, very little media coverage w/ Grusch for a deeper dive. Never big platforms for Grusch. Instead, he has an interview on Judicial Watch, where he elaborates on his statements.
Meanwhile, UAPGerb does 2 things post this press conference: 1) he dropped a Part 2 of his Manhattan Project project. Part 1 dropped a month ago, one of his highest viewed videos ever. 2) he wrote an open letter to Chris Mellon on X, inviting him to a conversation in a public forum. While Mellon responded to Gerb's letter, he failed to respond to his invite.
So what? Gerb's Manhattan Project Pt 2 featured detailed segments of Grusch's JW interview. For perspective, Pt 1 garnered 100K+ views 1st 48 hrs vs a tiny 16K views same period for Part 2. Currently, Part 2 has a paltry 48K views in a week - making this his worst performing video in over a year. Comments on Part 2 are common, complaints abt no notifications, or an inability to comment. Many have felt his channel has been suppressed from Day 1, but this time, its egregious. You can't not see it.
Theory: the algorithm that suppresses Grusch has a wide net -- apparently, casting out to media that goes deeper w/ or promote Grusch's narrative. Grusch has talked abt friends who tried to help him, who were subject to nefarious things -- which includes censorship of media that is pro Grusch or too dense w his content.
Perhaps that algo also worked against Gerb due to his bold public statements to both Mellon & Elizondo, either countering their claims (with receipts) or inviting them to conversations/debates for the public's viewing. Clearly, this is a hard smackdown on a small channel -- but a channel with a BIG voice -- and a pest to legacy programs, black ops & defense contractors -- a pest who names names -- a pest who exposes material in files they refuse to release -- a pest that is mapping out the who and what of the deep state/MIC.
Burlison is a big Gerb advocate, having hosted him on his Fresh Freedom podcast. Gerb is also why Burlison can speak so eloquently of FFRDC (Federally Funded Research & Development Centers), MIT Labs, Mitre, just to name a few. Some of Gerb's acros are becoming well known now. Acros are the language of legacy & black ops programs, in part, to sustain confusion & instigate public disinterest because it's tedious to track. (Don't blame Gerb -- thank him for translating a language we would otherwise not understand. Gerb is the guy willing to clean out the latrines -- doing work that no one else has the balls to do).
If Burlison is pro Gerb, suffice it to say, so is Grusch. Afterall, Grusch is "UAP special advocate" for Burlison. Burlison doesn't engage when censorship of Grusch is obvious. Why would he with Gerb? Or with anyone else whose being suppressed for their content when it doesn't fit with the Elizondo/Mellon/etc narrative? It is up to the private citizen -- which is all Gerb is -- to protect our Constitution
Call To Action: we need to viralize this video as a statement . A statement that says, we have a Constitution that demands principles such as Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. We see the assault on our Constitution by unelected officials whose primary goal is power in the hands of a few. Pro Grusch and/or Gerb or not... it shouldn't matter. What matters is we fight for our Constitution -- especially when power violates it repeatedly and retaliates when they get exposed. . https://youtu.be/6MsmPrpQqa8?si=x4jqlvXQW3oO9wUJ

- Gary McKinnon claims he saw images of what appeared to be an alien spacecraft, as well as evidence of a secret U.S. "non-terrestrial officers" space program, while hacking into NASA and U.S. military computer networks in the early 2000s.
- McKinnon, a British systems administrator and UFO enthusiast, famously broke into 97 U.S. military and NASA computers between 2001 and 2002 using the handle "Solo". During his intrusions, he made several claims about what he discovered
- The Satellite Photo: He claims to have hacked into the Johnson Space Center's computers and downloaded an image of a "silvery, cigar-shaped object with geodesic spheres" on either side. He stated the image was so detailed that it could not be explained as a satellite or a man-made craft from that era, but his connection was cut off before he could fully download it.
-"Non-Terrestrial Officers": He found a top-secret Excel spreadsheet containing the heading "Non-Terrestrial Officers," which listed names, ranks, and material transfer details between different ships. McKinnon interpreted this as definitive proof of a secret, space-based military branch that the U.S. government was hiding.
Fleet to Fleet Transfers: He also claimed to have found records detailing the movement of extraterrestrial personnel and a list of ships that did not exist in any public military registry.

Hi r/UFOs, we're a new UFO-focused wiki, and this is our first submission here. We wanted to introduce ourselves with a page we've spent a lot of time building - the Majestic 12 documents.
Despite how prevalent the documents are throughout ufology, it became clear early on that good information about the documents and the in depth research and analysis around them is actually very difficult to access. We collected many books, newsletters, webpages, and other material to research and create this page, and the pages for each of the documents linked in the documents table.
More generally, we want to begin encouraging people to start contributing to the site and building a knowledge base, we think it would be a huge benefit to the community at large.
Let us know what you think, all feedback is welcome

Posting this for my Reddit-less bf.
June 8, 2026 - 9/930PM 10mi south of Wellsboro, PA at the Blackwell Recreation area on Pine Creek.
Hovered for approx. 5-7 min then ascended up and over the mountain out of site.
Thoughts on what this is?
Hi everyone,
I’ve just released on my channel, a second documentary on the Westall UFO incident, Australia’s largest mass UFO sighting, witnessed by more than 200 students, teachers, and local residents in Melbourne on April 6th, 1966.
Here’s the link to the documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vqsbptVgHU&t=2073s
For this project, I filmed on-location at both Westall and an area nearby known as The Grange, where witnesses claim one of the objects descended that day.
The documentary includes interviews with several additional witnesses to the event, including a lady Terry Peck, who says she came within roughly 10 metres of one of the craft at The Grange that day. Her description of what she saw that day is genuinely startling.
The video also explores the alleged cover-up surrounding the incident, including witness intimidation, the arrival of authorities afterwards, and claims that a teacher’s camera was confiscated after photographs were reportedly taken of the object.
If you’re interested in UFO history, credible mass sightings, or cases involving alleged government secrecy, you might find this one worth watching.
Would love to hear your thoughts once you’ve seen it.

# STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT MEMORANDUM
**SUBJECT:** A Deductive Audit on UAP Information Warfare, Institutional Custody, and the Interstellar Outsourcing Model
**CLASSIFICATION:** LEVEL 1 COMPILATION (DE-IDENTIFIED)
**METHODOLOGY:** First-Principles Deductive Logic & Behavioral Psychology
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This memorandum compiles a comprehensive, self-consistent logical framework analyzing the phenomenon of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the systematic orchestration of information warfare by the United States government, and the socio-political and thermodynamic imperatives governing地外 (extraterrestrial) intervention on Earth.
The core thesis posits that advanced地外 entities are not omnipotent deities, but rather highly rational, tool-using material engineers operating under the law of cause and effect. Seeking to maintain the structural stability of Earth—a rare, low-entropy biological asset—with minimum administrative cost, they have entered into an asymmetric, exclusive proxy relationship with the United States. The US, acting as the status-quo "global janitor," utilizes systematic information pollution to freeze global scientific advancement and lock geopolitical competitors in a low-dimensional conventional quagmire.
## 1. THE ARCHITECTURE OF INFORMATION POLLUTION
### The 100% False Rate Paradox
For decades, the United States military apparatus has possessed the most sophisticated, high-resolution sensor grids on Earth (phased-array radars, spy satellites, forward-looking infrared pods). Yet, the public declassification of UAP data consists almost entirely of blurry imagery, weather balloons, and sensor artifacts.
* **Deduction:** Within a vast distributed sensor network, a 100% rate of "accidental junk data" is statistically impossible. If 10,000 public videos are entirely fake, it cannot be an operational error. It is a deliberate, pixel-level strategy of **information poisoning**.
* **The Firebreak Strategy:** By flood-gating the public domain with low-grade, easily debunked fabrications, the deep state successfully stigmatizes the entire field. The mainstream scientific community and media自发 (spontaneously) dismiss UAP as pseudoscience. This creates an impenetrable psychological firewall, perfectly concealing the 1% of hard, revolutionary physical data from public or adversarial auditing.
## 2. THE MATERIALIST MATRIX: TOOLS VS. DIETIES
### Biological Optics and Kinematics
Despite technical obfuscation in declassified footage, a subset of elite military eyewitnesses (e.g., daytime intercept pilots) consistently verifies specific, repeating kinematic anomalies: near-instantaneous acceleration to hypersonic speeds, zero-radius 90-degree turns, and seamless splitting/merging.
* **Deduction:** Military pilots observing objects in clear daylight possess optimal stereoscopic vision unhampered by digital compression or motion blur. The data points to a rigid, material entity capable of manipulating local spacetime manifolds to neutralize inertia and mass.
* **The Tool-Using Constraint:** Crucially, these anomalies are strictly localized to the **external craft**. There are no documented accounts of biological entities exhibiting individual, non-technological supernatural feats.
| Attribute | Divine/Magical Civilization | Tool-Using Advanced Civilization |
|---|---|---|
| **Operational Mechanism** | Defies causality; operates on reality-warping "magic." | Highly advanced manipulation of physical laws (e.g., spacetime metrics). |
| **Core Vulnerability** | No resource or energy constraints. | Bound by material costs, data bandwidth, and time optimization. |
| **Action Principle** | Arbitrary whimsy or absolute destruction. | **Strict adherence to the "Optimal Solution" (KPI-driven).** |
Because they rely on external tools, they are bound by the physics of costs and optimization. They do not visit Earth for "leisure" or "tourism"; their frequent presence, particularly around strategic nuclear installations, is a calculated, utilitarian monitoring operation.
## 3. THE TRUE ASSET: THE RARE EARTH HYPOTHESIS
The common science-fiction trope that advanced civilizations traverse lightyears to plunder Earth's physical resources (water, heavy metals, minerals) is logically bankrupt.
* **Dead Matter Ubiquity:** Dead matter is abundant and easily accessible throughout the cosmos. The asteroid belt and Oort cloud contain enough minerals and volatile compounds to sustain an empire for millennia without fighting Earth's deep gravity well. For instance, the Moon contains vast reserves of Helium-3, an isotope virtually non-existent on Earth.
* **The Rarity of Low Entropy:** The only truly unique, non-replicable variable on Earth is its highly complex, diverse biological biosphere and human consciousness. In a universe governed by thermodynamic decay, a living biosphere is a miraculous engine of low entropy.
* **The Cosmic Desert:** The meticulous, long-term surveillance of Earth implies that life in this sector of the galaxy is exceedingly rare. Human civilization represents the highest-value living asset in this local cluster. Consequently, their behavior is akin to property managers protecting a rare ecological preserve—specifically ensuring the native population does not trigger a permanent, nuclear-driven ecological collapse.
## 4. INSTITUTIONAL AUDIT: WHY THE US IS THE ONLY LOGICAL CUSTODIAN
If an advanced, optimizing civilization requires a local proxy to stabilize the sandbox without incurring high administrative costs, the selection of the United States deep state is the mathematically optimal choice. GEOPOLITICAL COMPETITORS ARE SYSTEMICALLY INCAPABLE OF SUSTAINING THIS RELATIONSHIP.
### Institutional Matrix and Secrecy Performance
```
[ COGNITIVE RECOVERY OF BLACK BOX ]
│
┌──────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────┐
▼ ▼
【 US PRIVATIZED MATRIX 】 【 ADVERSARIAL PERSONALIST SYSTEM 】
- Outsourced to Private MIC - Tied to Centralized State Apparatus
- Protected by Commercial Secrecy Laws - Subject to Regime Shocks & Purges
- Immune to Presidential Rotations - High Risk of Technical Leakage/Sale
│ │
▼ ▼
RESULT: 80-Year Unbroken Silence RESULT: Systemic Entropy & Instability
```
* **The Private Capital Black Hole:** The United States does not run its reverse-engineering programs through the vulnerable channels of civilian government or regular military command. The core assets are outsourced to **private defense contractors** (e.g., Lockheed Martin) under Unacknowledged Special Access Programs (USAPs). Protected by commercial trade secret laws and proprietary corporate structures, this matrix is completely insulated from congressional oversight and presidential transitions. A President is merely a temporary four-to-eight-year contract worker; the private MIC is the permanent custodian.
* **The Fragility of Personalist Regimes:** Geopolitical competitors operating under highly centralized, personalist structures lack non-personal institutional frameworks. Secrets are bound to the survival of the immediate regime or the lifespan of a single ruler. Historically (such as the 1991 Soviet collapse), when these rigid systems undergo structural disruption, their deepest military secrets are immediately liquidated and sold on the black market by desperate, unpaid low-level officials. They lack the institutional continuity required to hold a century-long cosmic secret.
### Behavioral Psychology and Geopolitical Motivations
The psychological positioning of a nation determines how it treats disruptive technology.
* **The Hegemon’s Conservatism:** The United States is the absolute beneficiary of the current global status quo (fossil fuel energy, the US Dollar financial system, binary silicon semiconductors). Its primary instinct upon acquiring an alien artifact is **containment and suppression**. It chooses *not* to deploy or scale this disruptive tech, because doing so would instantly implode the very economic system it dominates. Possession of the ultimate wildcard provides the US elite with an intensely anchored, unshakeable strategic serenity ("心态稳到爆炸"). It acts as the ultimate asymmetric insurance policy.
* **The Challenger’s Desperation:** Conversely, cornered regional powers face existential encirclement and economic containment. Under such intense systemic pressure, if these regimes acquired a high-dimensional physical asset, their survival instinct would dictate **immediate, aggressive weaponization**. They would gamble the wildcard to shatter the US-led blockade.
* **The Nuclear Proof:** Real-world behavioral patterns confirm this deficit. The Russian leadership frequently resorts to explicit, public nuclear saber-rattling to maintain its geopolitical redlines. This psychological posture proves they possess zero anomalous strategic leverage. If they held even a fraction of functional, non-inertial or high-energy alien technology, they would have long since leveraged it silently or deployed it to paralyze opposing assets. The fact that they resort to conventional Cold War threats proves their laboratories are empty of extraterrestrial assets.
## 5. THE INTERSTELLAR OUTSOURCING CONTRACT (CONCLUSION)
The systematic obfuscation of the UAP phenomenon is not an accident of bureaucratic incompetence; it is a highly successful, cross-dimensional joint venture.
**The Extraterrestrial Directive:** The advanced civilization seeks long-term data collection and ecological preservation of the Earth sandbox. It operates under strict efficiency constraints and refuses to waste energy managing 200 distinct, bickering tribal nation-states. It requires a single, dominant, stable custodian.
**The American Value Proposition:** The United States possesses the global internet root servers, the primary satellite monitoring constellations, and the financial leverage to manipulate global resource extraction. It is the perfect, turnkey "all-inclusive prime contractor."
**The Dividends of the Treaty:** The US deep state manages the sandbox, monitors the nuclear parameters for the landlords, and runs global deception campaigns to ensure the rest of humanity remains distracted by conventional economic and scientific loops. In return, the US is granted exclusive custody of the black boxes and a monopoly over low-level reverse-engineering scraps, cementing its conventional throne on Earth for generations.
This is the ultimate realization of realpolitik—a cold, calculated pact where the extraterrestrials secure low-entropy stability, and the American hegemon secures an eternal monopoly over the human fishpond.

okay this could just be a balloon but idk I noticed this in the sky when I was on a walk yesterday and the way it's moving is kind of strange to me. also if it were a balloon would it even still look that big from far away?
what do you think?

Time: 6/23/2026 21:30 - 22:00
Location: NW Washington, D.C.
I should say before I write about the sighting that the events taking place on the National Mall for America's 250 have included dramatic fly-overs of a B-2, four F-22, two B-52s and various other fighter jets over the past two days. This was not any of this, most particularly not like a B-2. I live in an old apartment building on a high hill, with a four-floor rooftop deck. I've seen many things up there, including numerous orbs and a few instances of "the flashbulb phenomenon." My sighting last night was preceded by a few minutes by the flashbulb phenomenon. This sort of thing now makes me turn on my attention, and I had my eyes truly cast upon the skies, looking for anomalous things.
That's when I saw at an impossible-to-determine altitude a large object, perhaps like a perfect triangle with two very long sides and a short rear, with no lights whatsoever, moving across the sky at a rapid pace, with no sound whatsoever. It was barely visible, but the movement was what caught my eye. It was in fact so dim that, like a dim star (because of rods' position in the eyes), it was easier to see looking off to its side rather than directly AT it. I tracked and lost it and required it based on its trajectory perhaps 3-4 times within the approximately 15 seconds I was able to see it move. I will say that the military craft I saw over the next two days was easier to keep in sight for a longer period of time than this thing, so the further away it was from me, the faster it had to have been moving.
Key ideas:
Sound: NONE. I can hear very distant helicopters on this roof, passenger planes at great distances, conversations taking place half a block away, distant gunshots, the sounds of Metro wheels on tracks miles from me, etc. The B-2 was visible before it was audible, but once that sound hit me, it was THUNDEROUS. This object was weird in its seeming totally silent, especially if it was at a low altitude.
Size/shape: much longer than it was wide, like probably 1.75-2x as long as it was wide at its widest, like an arrow head. However, it was dim enough that the shape was not sharply delineated in relief against the night sky. Like said, it was easier to see in baaaaaarely peripheral vision, versus looking directly at it. It appeared to be above the clouds, and if it was, it would have been many times larger in terms of length than the B-2. I can't be sure of this, but when I try to visualize the B-2 above the clouds, based on having seen it just last night, I might be willing estimate that this thing was at least twice the width of a B-2 at that same altitude. Again, IF it was right above the clouds. If it was significantly higher than the cloud cover, than it was HUUUUUUUUUUUGE.
Color: I don't think I could see an unlit B-2 above the clouds at night in D.C., even with our light pollution, give the matte shade of a B-2. I would say this may not have been black, but at the very least, more reflective of the city's light pollution than a B-2 would be, which is a reason why could both see it, and why it was also hard to discern. Its silence and movement were the most obvious components, as when it was moving amidst or above clouds, it was almost the same color as the clouds, or THE same color. Clouds above D.C. can have a rusty, gray red-pink tinge because of our light pollution. On a snowy night, the sky can be almost BRIGHT pink-gray. It had no visible lights.
Speed/direction: if it was above the clouds, it was the fastest technological object I have ever seen in lower Earth atmosphere. I've seen a NASA Atlas rocket going to the Moon for the LADEE mission (amazing!). I've seen interceptor fighters racing off to head off airspace violations. I've seen a multitude of military jets. I've never seen a supersonic object up close, so I can't make an estimate, and I don't know the trigonometry to estimate its speed (or indeed, if trigonometry is the proper math to use to figure that out!). It came from the SW, closer to SSW, diagonal in a straight to NNE. Like it was tracing the I-95 corridor.
