The last couple nights have been crazy hot with UAPs. I noticed several sorts starting at 6:30pm to well past 11pm and I finally had to go to sleep. Grab your cameras and get out there tonight! These orbs were mostly moving in an East to West fashion- coming in East from the Catalinas and then moving north once they reach the West side of the mountains. Several times I saw at least three UAPs in one video. I’ll post some of the more interesting raw footage here.

  1. THREE UAPs seen here:

The most consequential UFO incident in modern history is about to reach a milestone, and while the Pentagon still can't explain what happened, the incident's impact is still being felt 20 years later.

George Knapp reporting - always enjoy his content. Good reporting on the eve of the next congressional UAP hearing in November.

Can't wait for the hearing when I get to live the "Heartbreaking: Worst person you know" meme as I cheer for Luna, Gaetz, and Burchett.

Throwaway account for privacy issues. I was invited to the Sol Foundation Symposium, as I've been following the UAP topic since Grusch came forward in the News Nation interview. I was entirely a skeptic back then; now I've 100% changed my mind, fell deep into this rabbit hole. My background is in science/medicine.

Mostly I'm posting this wondering how many people got invited. I'm very much debating on whether or not to go, just because it's a quick trip to plan, and it will be a thousand+ bucks out my pocket for flights, hotel and ticket on its own. I would love to see Dr. Garry Nolan in person, and I'm very intrigued by the guest list, but it's still not a cheap date for those of us in some academic circles.

"We are isolating, detecting, and analyzing artificial signals that do not belong to any terrestrial satellite, probe, or orbital platform whatsoever, be it civilian or military. We are not the ones who need to disclose this. The signals must be detected and announced by civilian organizations and scientists. Our interest is that, as long as this announcement serves to cover up our defense activities in space, it must be facilitated somehow. We desperately need the world to discover these signals in order we can proceed with our testing of next generation ASAT weapons. In other words, we need ETI signals for ACUTE, DOLYN, and DENIED as much as we needed UFOs to conceal our U2 program. Get it?"

"Tell the world we have detected an ETI signal; silence our orbital jammers for civilian radioastronomers to also detect the signal, let's start a new era, and let's get the public excited all about it. In our view, that's the best possible scenario for us to openly carry out our space-weapons tests. Each time someone detects our signals we can tell him he just detected an ETI signal. Yes, let's move from weather balloons to meteosats. That's a game we know how to win"

So I've been going down this wild rabbit hole researching historical UFO/UAP cases, and I stumbled on some interesting, lesser-known historical cases. I just thought I'd share them with you.

Most of you probably know of the Nuremberg incident. But it turns out it wasn't just a one-off thing.

Similar events happened in Basel, Switzerland (1566) and Pferch, Germany (1554). The witnesses descriptions match up in some striking ways:

  • Multiple observers reporting geometric shapes (spheres, disks, crosses)
  • Objects doing complex aerial maneuvers
  • Color-changing phenomena
  • Objects apparently "fighting" each other in the sky

This is an illustration of the event in Basel:

The really interesting part is WHO was doing the reporting. Not just random people but they were mostly educated people including artists and scholars. There are even contemporary illustrations of some of these events.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Does anyone have some further reading on this?

And do you believe the skeptics who say that these things are just typical religious motifs of the time? The skeptics say that this theme of "heavenly battles" was common place at the time. I don't know why you would see these shapes and figures go to battle.

I’ve been poking around this sub for a minute now, haven’t seen a thread like this. Sorry if it’s against the rules.

It’s interesting sorting through new information or discoveries, but hearing peoples’ testimony is just as interesting to me.

A personal experience? A fascination of space? A quest to find meaning? What sparked your interest in the subject?

So I attended Lue’s live talk yesterday and it was pretty good. The main take aways I would say would be- 1. We’ve been blind to everything going on around us because we lack perspective, theories, tools, etc. 2. The UAP shapes are directly related to the positioning of the engines of the ships. 37 branches of study in 2015 was realized to all be best explained by 1 math formula for warping space time and creating the bubbles. Much was a review of those aspects of the book. He did show one picture for a sighting in Romania of an extremely large craft- not sure if it’s floating around or something he dug up privately - but I hadn’t seen it before. He’s a good speaker, spoke with conviction, very friendly- worth it to see if he’s in your area.

This has just been published on the website of Swiss public broadcaster SRF, one of the rare serious articles on the subject in the German speaking countries, which are somewhat of a black hole, especially when it comes to the involvement of the military. Decent article in my opinion.

The following is a translation using Deepl. Link to the original article:

Swiss Air Force

When the “flying plates” found their way into military files

Since the 1950s, many countries have been tracking unidentified flying objects. They have set up secret UFO research programs. In Switzerland, too, the army collected information. An exclusive insight into the files of the Air Force secret service files on the “flying plates”.

The Federal Archives in Bern store green-colored folders from the Swiss Air Force. Some are labeled “Flying plates”. In the military file “E5465B” from 1954, the Air Force Intelligence Service informs pilots and officials what to do if a UFO is sighted in Switzerland.

It states: “Guidelines for the preparation of questionnaires on unidentified objects (...) It is not our task to investigate the composition, origin or purpose of these phenomena. Our task is rather to record these phenomena in an orderly system.”

French-speaking Swiss radio and television (RTS) contacted a dozen former Swiss Army pilots. Several confirmed the existence of these report forms. They claim that these forms were used until the 1990s.

“Movements like a snake”

RTS found a handful of these completed forms in the Federal Archives. They concern observations made by members of the military or officials of the Ministry of Defense. The most fascinating report dates back to the winter of 1971. Three different military documents reported on one and the same flying object.

In the first document, two officers aboard a Mirage III observed a fast-moving “bright point of light” during a night flight over Interlaken on February 23. The movements are described as impossible for a military aircraft of the time. “The light object moved with an undulating motion, like a snake, and then disappeared.”

In a second military report, it is another pilot who claims to have seen the same UFO a few hours later. This time it was sighted over Winterthur. The report is accompanied by a sketch drawn by the pilot explaining the movements and size of the glowing object.

Officially no interest in UFOs

Three days later, the UFO was observed again by a Mirage III pilot. The soldier also filled out a report. It says: “At first I thought it was a plane with its landing lights on flying towards me, but I suddenly realized that the glowing object was stationary. (...) Then I noticed a kind of contrail, but with an opening angle of about 90 degrees, which looked like a power cone. (...) The luminous object moved and disappeared.”

These military reports provided no scientific explanation for the nature of this object. What makes the whole thing even more mysterious is that the original documents have disappeared. The library at Guisanplatz, the former federal military library, explains: “We only have a copy of the file; the original cannot be found.”

Officially, the Swiss army claims never to have been interested in UFOs. Defense Department spokeswoman Delphine Schwab-Allemand explains that the army has no special program. “The Swiss Armed Forces do not have and have never had a mandate to collect information or documents about UFOs.”

I don't know if this is the correct subreddit in which to post this, but since it has to do with UFO's, I thought that it might fit here. I'm pulling all of this from memory, so I might not have to details correctly since I don't have a written record.

My father served in WWII as a radar operator in the USAAF (he passed away in November 1990). He mostly served on the West coast of the U.S. He was an intelligent man who knew a lot about aviation, especially the fighters from the war. I remember him telling me that on several occasions he witnessed on his watch, radar returns (blips?) that showed something(s) that far exceeded the capabilities of any aircraft of the war. The radar stations were supported by at least P-38 Lightnings interceptors, and he said that they could never get close to whatever was making the radar reflection. Moreover, he said that in addition to the speed of these mysterious blips was the sudden directional changes, going from one altitude to several thousand feet higher in the blink of an eye. He said that when he mentioned such occurrences to the officer in charge, he was always told to just ignore it. I wish that he was still here, not only because I miss him, but I feel that a great deal of history was also lost regarding these occurrences. Again, I don't know if my post is appropriate for this subreddit, but I thought that I'd share it. He was 67 when he passed away of liver cancer. Just two years older than I am now. How quickly time goes by. Take care. StephS

Original Title: [OC] Spotted (after the fact) a strange metallic blob over NYC’s High Line in a rapid 3-photo burst. Distance covered in ~38ms likely rules out a balloon. Reflection on nearby building rules out insects. What could it be? Link to DNGs and JPGs included.


The High Line, New York City. October 14, 2024. 4:32pm.

This is a composite of three photos, taken in Exposure Bracketing mode on a Leica Q2 digital camera (28mm lens, f8, 47.3 Megapixel full frame sensor).

Exposure Bracketing takes a rapid burst of three photos at different shutter values (under-exposed, normal, and over-exposed). My intention was to merge the three images into a single HDR image in Adobe Lightroom, ensuring that the shadows are restored and highlights are not blown out.

Notice the UAP moving across the sky, changing position in each photo.

The varying distance between the object is due to differences in shutter speed over the three images (1/50 sec, 1/80 sec, 1/160 sec). By adding these three values together, the total duration of this event is only 38.75 milliseconds (some additional milliseconds could be added to account for camera processing time between shots). For context, the blink of an eye is between 100 to 400 milliseconds. The people on The High Line haven’t completed a single step.

The object’s color and brightness variations are due to how the images are combined – the bottom-most image being 100% opacity, and the middle and top image each being 50% opacity. I believe the true representation of the object is how it appears in the cropped close up. It appears to be metallic, with a reflection of the sky and clouds on the top, and a darker reflection of the city on the underside.

I didn’t notice the object at the time. It was only found when processing the images. It appears to be moving too fast to be a balloon. Had it been slowly floating I’m certain I would have noticed it at the time, and it would likely have appeared on my other photos too. I took dozens of pictures as we walked The High Line, and there’s nothing unusual on any of them except these three.

Each photo has a matching reflection on the building to the right. There is some distortion from the glass, but it is clearly the same object. This rules out insects or anything close to the lens.

Below is a Dropbox link to the three original DNG files direct from my camera, along with JPG versions, a merged version, and the above annotated version.

Wikipedia user 'A Very Polite Person' created a great entry on Wikipedia for the UAP Disclosure Act, whose link now goes to the NDAA 2024 Wikipedia page. It was a very straightforward and well detailed article, it's disappointing for it to have been removed and be linking to such a brief mention in the NDAA 2024 page. The Guerilla Skeptics group have been active in monitoring and modifying Wikipedia pages related to UAP in the past, I don't know if this is related to them and am not an expert in Wikipedia so maybe someone can figure out who made the change.

If you want to find the Wikipedia page, here is the latest good version of the UAP Disclosure Act page per this user, and thankfully it has also been saved several times on the Internet Archive.

Of interest, as has been mentioned here before, 'Very Polite Person' also created the National Security Space Association page, quite a connected organization and has possible links to the US government's UAP programs; the NSSA even interviewed Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick earlier this year. Some other significant entries by this user on other pages such as Sentient (which may have had a hand in the 'Immaculate Constellation' program), Invention Secret Act, Luis Elizondo, etc.

Edit: It's been pointed out that the talk page of the Wiki entry and the Fringe Noticeboard page have discussions relevant to the redirect, I see this now thank you. (at the bottom of the section)

From IN THE WINK OF AN EYE: MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES

During the War of the Spanish Succession in 1707, a four thousand-man invasion force under the Habsburg Archduke, Charles, camped at the foot of the Pyrenees on their way to Spain, breaking camp the following morning and marching through a mountain pass. This well-armed and equipped force never reached its goal, nor was it ever accounted for.

From 1967 HUMANOID SIGHTING REPORTS Compiled by Albert Rosales

Location. Aveyron Basses Pyrenees France

Date: January 11 1967

Time: night

Having just seen a “shell” shaped object taking off from his farm, the witness proceeded to chase in his car a ball of light, which stayed 150 yards ahead of him. Then his engine died and his lights went out, and he noticed a “saucer shaped” object descending; it was slightly bigger than a Peugeot car, 9-12 ft above the ground and about 60 ft away. On top of this object were two transparent cupolas, in each of which he could see a helmeted figure, human like and dressed in green and white coveralls. He felt a wave of heat and a transient sensation of paralysis. With a whistling sound, the UFO rose to a 50 yard altitude, dropped back again to near ground level, then, becoming brilliantly yellow-white luminous, took off at tremendous speed. As it did so, his lights came back on and he was able to start the car normally. Several days later the witness experienced trouble in sleeping, followed by some weeks of excessive sleepiness. The area had been the site of repeated UFO incidents for a year.

From 1954 HUMANOID SIGHTING REPORTS Compiled by Albert Rosales

Location. Saint Etienne de Baigorry, Pyrenees Atlantique, France

Date: October 24 1954

Time: 1500

A shepherd guarding his flock at a peak called “Moumboa” located at about 800meters altitude reported seeing two “men” standing on the side opposite to him, looking around. At first he thought they were excursionists but he soon saw between them at about 50meters a craft shaped like a large shell, from three to four meters in diameter and of a little more than one meter in height. He did not dare to approach the object which was brown in color. In its center there was a cabin, and at the two ends he could distinguish a number of small propellers similar to pine cones. At the back end, the broadest end was a bent tripod. After a while, the two men approached the machine which they then placed upright on the tripod. The witness supposed that the machine was made out of some very light weight material or plastic. He says he did not notice any portholes. One of the men then opened a narrow door and both individuals disappeared into the cabin. Without any noise the two groups of propellers started to turn, but in opposite directions. The machine took off vertically at about 100 meters and then disappeared quickly towards the north. The two men were similar to humans, Caucasian, between 1.70-1.75m in height.

From The Healing Power of UFOs by Preston Dennett

According to UFO researchers, Jon Von Allon and Willie DeNard, in February 2009, a fantastic UFO contact took place at the Pyrenees Children's Hospital in Andorra, Spain. They interviewed fourteen doctors and staff members who told them that extraterrestrials appeared in the cancer ward of the hospital, where they performed cures on four children who were terminal and about to die.

(snip)

"There is a pattern in these visits," Dr. Ruiz told investigators. "They always occur at 1:00 [a.m.], and the ETS always come in pairs and always heal with a touch to the forehead."

According to UFO researcher Diego Garcia, the Pyrenees have been a hot spot for UFO activity for many years.

From 1954 HUMANOID SIGHTING REPORTS Compiled by Albert Rosales

Zurbaran ate grilled meat, butter and cheese in the vehicle’s mess-room. He was told that the provisions were transported aboard the craft via telepathy (?). Unknown to Zurbaran, thousands of miles away, in the Pyrenees between Spain and France, Jaime Bordas a resident of the village of Castell, was engaged in a strange experience with a six-foot tall, overall wearing humanoid with long blond hair. The otherworldly being would only drink milk as its sole nourishment. (1951)

From Dimensions by Jacques Vallee

Two well-investigated cases have contained striking psychic elements. One took place in Aveyron, France, and the other one in Kansas. They support the five propositions mentioned above. On June 15, 1966, in Aveyron (a region of France situated near the mid-Pyrenees) a seventy-sixyear-old woman made the first in a long and fascinating series of sightings on an isolated farm. The farmhouse itself is old, with ten rooms whose windows face south and command an excellent view.

************

From the book Unearthly Disclosure by British UFO researcher Timothy Good

It is also of incidental interest to note some circumstantial evidence provided by the late Patrick Price, an exceptionally gifted psychic employed by a CIA contractor in the 1970s. According to Captain Frederick H. Atwater, a retired US Army officer also involved at the time in highly classified ‘remote viewing’ experiments for the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency, as well as for the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command, Price had remotely viewed four alien bases on Earth, one of which was located under Mount Ziel, Northern Territory. Mount Ziel lies some 80 miles west-northwest of Pine Gap. Price believed the base contained a mixture of ‘personnel’ from the other bases, one purpose being to ‘transport new recruits, with an overall monitoring function’. The other bases were said to be under Mount Perdido in the Pyrenees, Mount Inyangani in Zimbabwe, and, coincidentally, in Alaska, under Mount Hayes. Price described the occupants as ‘looking like homo sapiens, except for the lungs, heart, blood and eyes’.

*******************

From the book Alien Interview by Matilda O'Donnell MacElroy:

"Earth started being used a dumping ground and prison for [aliens] who were judged "untouchable", meaning criminal or non-conformists. [Aliens] were captured, encapsulated in electronic traps and transported to Earth from various parts of the "Old Empire". Underground "amnesia stations" were set up on Mars and on Earth in the Rwenzori Mountains in Africa, in the Pyrenees Mountains of Portugal, and in steppes of Mongolia.

"Perhaps most startling is the fact that the very components within a given extraterrestrial craft appear to be held in place, in relation to one another, exclusively by antigravitational means. This is a partial explanation for the commonly noted lack of rivets and adhesives in the construction of these crafts. "

Was reading through this CARET disclosure document I just found out about today (thanks whoever originally posted it) and it sounds like a video game aka simulation.

Some magic force that keeps things where they are in relation to others just like when you place something in a video game and the "language" as it is referred in these documents tell it what to do like our code does in our games.
