This past week in Disclosure:

Oct 22 – The Pentagon responds publicly to the issue of UAP incursions at sensitive military installations

Pressed to explain what the objects could have been and why they weren't downed, the Pentagon spokesperson primarily sidestepped the question and ultimately failed to address the crux of the line of questioning.

Oct 23 – final scene of James Fox's documentary is teased

In a post teasing the closing scene of James Fox's upcoming documentary, an insinuation is made that Garry Nolan might know the location of labs with UAP/NHI-related materials in their possession.

Oct 24 – Rep. Mace confirms Congressional UAP Hearing on the 13th of November

In an exchange with Askapol, Rep. Nancy Mace confirmed that the UAP Hearing slated for November 13th will indeed be held.

“Come hell or high water, I’m holding a hearing” 

Oct 25 – President Trump references UAP/NHI on his Joe Rogan Experience appearance

During his appearance on JRE, Donald Trump made several remarks regarding the UAP/NHI Phenomenon. When asked whether he believed in alien life:

"There's no reason not to, I mean there's no reason not to think that Mars and all these planets have life [...] maybe it's life we don't know about, maybe it's a different kind"

He also made reference to his interviews of Navy/AF pilots who had encountered UAP with extraordinary performance characteristics.

Things to look out for in the near future:

September/October/November

  • According to Senator Gillibrand – a public hearing in line with AARO's latest report can be expected soon, saying –"I’m hoping July, and if not then September. But I’m trying to do July.” This has more recently been confirmed to be happening in November.
  • Speaking with Askapol, Reps. Luna and Burchett indicated that the next UAP hearing is likely to come after the August recess. More recently, this UAP hearing has been penciled in for November 13th.
  • The Sol Foundationis holding its second, 2024 symposium on November 22-23 in San Francisco

Beyond/currently unknown

  • Following the UAP hearing on the 26th of July, Members of Congress have called for a select committee with subpoena authority, to “go about the task of collecting information from the Pentagon and elsewhere” on unidentified flying objects. There have been conflicting messages from various Members of Congress on whether this is likely to happen anytime soon. Note – a select subcommittee was formally requested on March 13th.
  • Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have repeatedly stated their intent to hold field hearings to overcome stonewalling from the Pentagon and military establishment "I think we [Congress] should try to get into one of these places [housing UAP evidence]...and if they won't let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building...and the military will have to explain why that is." – Rep. Moskowitz (D) It is currently unknown when exactly we might expect that to occur, however as of Jan 12 – Rep. Luna confirmed: "I feel confident that we have enough evidence to move forward with our first field hearing. We will be announcing details soon."
  • Several journalists have indicated that first-hand witnesses of the alleged UAP legacy programs are in the process of providing testimony/evidence to the relevant authorities (e.g. the IC IG) and/or are on the verge of making public statements in the near future (Example 1example 2example 3example 4)
  • David Grusch has received additional clearances through DOPSR to discuss some of his (alleged) first-hand knowledge of Legacy programs. He has mentioned he may be covering more of this information in an upcoming Op-Ed

I was always intriguied by UFO sightings in different countries in the past. So I went to look for sightings in China and found some interesting cases. I've included the Chinese text so maybe a Chinese person can tell us in the comments whether the translations are correct.

One particularly intriguing account comes from Shen Kuo, a renowned polymath of the Song Dynasty. In his book, "Dream Pool Essays," Shen Kuo describes a strange celestial object that exhibited unusual behavior. The object was said to have emitted a bright light and moved rapidly across the sky, characteristics that align with modern UFO reports.

During the Chia-yu reign-period [1056–1064] there was a huge “pearl” in Yangchow, seen frequently at night. At first, it appeared out of the marshes in T’ien-ch’ang county; later it moved to Pi-she Lake; finally, it settled at Hsin-k’ai Lake. For more than ten years residents and travelers saw it often. A friend of mine had a retreat by the lake. One night he noticed that the “pearl” was very nearby. At first, it opened its door just slightly. A bright light emerged from its “shell,” like a single ray of golden thread. A moment later the “shell” suddenly opened to about the size of half a mat. Inside there was a white light like silver. The “pearl” was as big as a fist, so bright one could not look at it directly. Shadows cast in the forests for more than ten tricents [one tricent 300 paces] distant were just like those cast by the first rays of sunshine in the morning. In the distance one could see only a red sky, like a forest fire. Quickly the “pearl” sped far off, as if it were flying, floating above the waves, bright and brilliant as sunlight.

嘉祐中,揚州有一珠,甚大,天晦多見。初出於天長縣陂澤中,後 轉入甓社湖,又後乃在新開湖中,凡十餘處,居民行人常常見之。 余友人書齋在湖上,一夜忽見其珠,甚近。初微開其房,光自吻中 出。如橫一金線。俄頃忽張殼,其大如半席,殼中白光如銀,珠大 如拳,爛然不可正視。十餘里間林木皆有影,如初日所照;遠處但 見天赤如野火;倏然遠去,其行如飛;浮於波中,杳杳如日

The phenomenon was observed again in Jinshan Temple, located near Yangchow. This sighting in 1071 was recorded by Su Dongpo (Su Shi), the polymath of the Song Dynasty, and a pre-eminent figure in East Asian literature, art, and culture. He states,

The fire shines in the middle of the lake. The flying fire lights up the mountain and scares a crow. Bewildered, I return home in bed and my mind is puzzled. It's not a work of man or ghost. What is it?

江心似有炬火明 飛焰照山棲烏驚 悵然歸臥心莫識 非鬼非人竟何物

He further adds in the end that he himself has witnessed the event

(原註: 是夜所見如此)

In 1578 Ming Dynasty, Wanli Emperor (China), records:

A “comet” spins like a wheel and illuminates the sky. Time passes and the light goes out.

明神宗万历五年十二月初三夜,尾星旋转如轮,焰照天,逾时乃灭520

Another fascinating case from China can be found in Annals of Songzi County. Songzi County of Hubei Province records a strange story of a local farmer in Xiyanzui on May 8, 1880 (Chinese Lunar Calendar).

There is a farmer who went for a walk in the mountain forest behind the house in the morning. There was an object in the woods, which was emitting a strange, colorful light. He went near it and felt his body being lifted off the ground as if he was floating on clouds. The sound of whistling wind kept ringing in his ears. His mind was confused, and his body could not move completely. He suddenly falls, and he is on a mountainous hill. He is very surprised as if he had just woken up from a dream. A woodcutter then comes and asked him where he was from. The farmer replied that he was from Songzi County, Hubei Province. The woodcutter said in a curious way: How come you are here? This is Guizhou Province. It is five or six hundred kilometers away from your hometown. The farmer came down the mountain as he was told. He returned home, and 18 days had already passed.

晨起信步往屋後山林,见丛薄间有一物,光彩异常,五色鲜艳。即 往捕之,忽觉身自飘举,若在云端,耳旁飒飒有声,精神懵昧,身 体不能自由。忽然自高坠下,乃一峻岭也。覃某如梦初醒,惊骇非 常。移时来一樵者,询之,答曰:余湖北松滋人也 樵夫诧曰:子胡为乎来哉?此贵州境地,去尔处千余里矣! 指其途径下山. 覃丐而归,抵家已逾十八日矣

1892: “Flying Red Flame” (赤焰騰空) - China: Dianshizhai Pictorial by Wu Youru (吳有如 Wú yǒurú)

In September 28, 1892, a large egg-like red object sailed very slowly from the West to the East before eventually disappearing from sight. This incident in Nanjing City had hundreds of witnesses, and many tried to speculate the nature of the phenomenon. Some thought it was a meteor, but it was too slow (stagnant). Others thought that it was a sky (Chinese) lantern, but the direction of the wind suggested otherwise. One witness pointed out that the object made a subtle noise when it arrived.

九月二十八日,晚间八点钟时,金陵(今南京市)城南,偶忽见火毯(即球)一 团,自西向东,型如巨卵,色红而无光,飘荡半空,其行甚缓。维时浮云 蔽空,天色昏暗。举头仰视,甚觉分明,立朱雀桥上,翘首踮足者不下数 百人。约一炊许渐远渐减。有谓流星过境者,然星之驰也,瞬息即杳。此 球自近而远,自有而无,甚属濡滞,则非星驰可知。有谓儿童放天灯者, 是夜风暴向北吹,此球转向东去,则非天灯又可知。众口纷纷,穷于推测 。有一叟云,是物初起时微觉有声,非静听不觉也,系由南门外腾越而来 者。嘻,异矣!

The website is

They have a subreddit that is linked at the bottom of the website.

They go into great detail about many aspects of the videos and are asking for the internet to help them solve some questions. I haven't seen the site posted here so I thought I would post it to get more eyes on it.

Also as a bonus, this image in the website from a different case is one of the photos in the recent national archives dumps which I thought was interesting. I thought they were all new photos, but maybe someone else can educate me on that.

I just rewatched this classic and couldn't believe the simulatories between what's coming out today and the movie which came out in 1977. I did a deep dive and realized one of the original advisors in the show was linked to project Blue book and other Government-Funded projects. It's worth watching again. It will blow your mind

This particular rabbit hole (C.A.R.E.T) has not been brought up often within the context of the current disclosure discussions.

Basic overview of the story. Around 2007 a few groups of people on different occasions claimed to photograph a drone craft. Seeing the photos someone who called himself Issac came forward with documents from the C.A.R.E.T program and disclosed it to Coast to Coast AM. There was a heavy debunking campaign waged to try to discredit the C.A.R.E.T documents claiming it was a PR stunt.

As a software engineer who has worked in Bay Area tech for many years and encountered people the likes Ron Conway, Ben Horowitz and Paul Graham on multiple occasions (though none would remember my name as a lowly engineer of companies they funded) much of what is in the document tracts with personal experience and stories I have heard about that time. For example I found myself with a dozen coworkers sitting across a dinner table from Ron Conway as he told stories of Alto and PARC and the technology they had ~25 years before the general public really puts things in perspective.

Whoever put this together was at least an engineer with knowledge of computer history and specifically Bay Area tech. People like Hal Puthoff, Jacques Valle and Gary Nolan need to be asked if they have any knowledge of the C.A.R.E.T program. Their answers would be telling.

Final thoughts:

Pay close attention to the comments directed at this post they will be telling. Whatever they fight is something to hide.

Just to change the mood a little bit. I'm only posting this for those who like movies about UFOs that are made with passion and creativity. This is a really good movie and won't take much time to watch. I hope you enjoy it!

In this episode of The Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford, a physicist / electrical engineer demonstrates a radar system for detecting UAPs / UFOs that can be deployed by the public, bypassing Pentagon classification rules. This tech will be globally revealed for the first time so anyone can develop the tech. The sensor platform is based on a Lockheed Martin radar system that detects ballistic missiles and other airborne targets and, of course, UAP / UFO.

So, this happened back when I was around 10 (I’m in my 30s now). We were at my aunt’s house in San Diego, having a big family gathering – maybe a baby shower or a big game like the Super Bowl or a boxing match. There were about 20 of us there: my mom, grandparents, uncles, cousins – the whole family.

Suddenly, my aunt called for everyone to go outside. We all rushed to the backyard, and what we saw has become a family legend. At the far end of her street, we could see an orb hovering over one of the houses. It had this bright light shining down on the rooftop for a couple of minutes, just hanging there. Then, after a bit, the light clicked off, and the orb started gliding across the sky – and then it shot off into the stars, disappearing in a split second.

What’s fascinating is how differently each of us remembers the details. I saw a glowing orb, but my sister swears she saw an actual UFO with a clear shape, while my cousin recalls a rectangle with lights. I only remember the light shining down, but my sister says she saw little specs moving within the light, like something was ascending or descending.

And the moment it shot off is where things get even weirder: I remember it streaking off into the stars, but my cousin and uncle say they saw the stars themselves bend and shift around the UFO, like it was pulling the sky’s fabric, slipping through, and then everything settled back into place.

We never found out what it was. None of the neighbors saw or heard anything, and with no social media back then, there was no way to ask around or report it. To this day, we still wonder what would’ve happened if we could’ve captured it on video and shared it. Who knows if we’d have gotten any answers?

Anyone else have a similar experience in SoCal around that time? Would love to hear if there were other sightings in the area or reports at that time.

Just stumbled on the uap.guide website once again after some time. I just looked through all of the quotes of ex-military people and politicians saying that UAP exist. After reading all of these, how can people not believe that UAP are real?

We were able to identify one reported UAP with high confidence. In that case, we identified the object as a large, deflating balloon. The other [143] remain unexplained... Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP were registered across multiple sensors, to include radar, infrared, electro-optical, weapon seekers, and visual observation.

We currently lack data to indicate any UAP are part of a foreign collection program or indicative of a major technological advancement by a potential adversary... Some UAP observations could be attributable to developments and classified programs by U.S. entities. We were unable to confirm, however, that these systems accounted for any of the [144] UAP reports we collected.

UAP continue to represent a hazard to flight safety and pose a possible adversary collection threat. Since the publication of the ODNI preliminary assessment in June 2021, UAP reporting has increased, partially due to a concentrated effort to destigmatize the topic of UAP and instead recognize the potential risks that it poses as both a safety of flight hazard and potential adversarial activity. Whereas there were previously 144 UAP reports covered during the 17 years of UAP reporting included in the ODNI preliminary assessment on UAP, there have been 247 more UAP reports during the 17 months since.

In the coming days, I will launch Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA), a new advocacy organization for aerospace safety and national security. ASA will support pilots and other aerospace professionals who are reporting UAP. Our goal is to demand more disclosure from our public officials about this significant safety and national security problem... If the phenomena I witnessed with my own eyes turns out to be foreign drones, they pose an urgent threat to national security and airspace safety. If they are something else, it must be a scientific priority to find out.

The [UAP Disclosure Act of 2023] introduced as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that will be on the Senate floor next week, would direct the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to create a collection of records to be known as the UAP Records Collection and direct every government office to identify which records would fall into the collection. The UAP Records Collection would carry the presumption of immediate disclosure, which means that a review board would have to provide a reasoning for the documents to stay classified...

Former Majority Leader Harry Reid sponsored a project to investigate incidents surrounding UAPs. After that project became public, Senators, Congressmen, committees, and staff began to pursue this issue and uncovered a vast web of individuals and groups with ideas and stories to share. While these stories have varying levels of credibility, the sheer number and variety has led some in Congress to believe that the Executive Branch was concealing important information regarding UAPs over broad periods of time. Congress recognizes that these records – if they exist – were likely concealed under the good faith goal of protecting national security. Howev...

Fifty years ago, Northrop Grumman co-founder John Northrop shared why he believed in UFOs. This interview could easily have been recorded in 2024, with pilots like Ryan Graves, Dave Fravor, or Alex Dietrich mentioned instead.

IF Northrop Grumman has been a part of the "Program", when do you think they acquired the technology? Maybe Grumman, Westinghouse, or another contractor had the technology first, and it simply came along with the acquisition. Assuming Northrop was aware of what his company had in its possession, his mind must have been blown when he first saw it.

So this last month pretty much every night I've been seeing stuff flying around the sky (near lincoln uk). We have a lot of military bases around here so people were obviously saying oh it's drones or starlink etc, I WAS doing shrooms and wrote them off as satellites etc but was weirded out when they started going the other way, moving about, crossing over each other and following planes. My phone is too crap to pick any of it up so I'm investing in a better camera (yes I know).

ANYWAY last night I must've seen about 100 and said fuck it and ran to grab my housemate to confirm I wasn't nuts, he was telling me oh yeah it's just satellites starlink etc etc for a good half hour as he always takes the pics that I believe in aliens, but then we started seeing more of them going in different directions and he started getting real weirded out. We both stayed out a good hour and a half and legitimately must've seen about 500 some pulsing some wiggling and a big line of them all following each other at different speeds (was not starlink).

Telling you in general and especially around the lincoln area if you can get somewhere dark and stargaze for a bit I would love to know if anyone else can see it, I've never seen anything like it and it's been happening for a couple of weeks now. They look like faint stars so adjust your eyes and just keep an eye out for ones that are moving.

I was watching this video by UAP Gerb about "Fastwalkers" (the NRO designation for UAPs):

He mentioned an e-mail exchange between John Podesta (former COS of bill Clinton) and a US army contractor named Bob Fish. Bob held a Top Secret clearance and pointed Podesta to this old article on a blog and claimed that it was "largely true"

Here is the Chat GPT summary of this article:

The evidence compiled here explores various incidents that hint at unknown objects—often detected by advanced military or scientific equipment—acting in ways that challenge our understanding of orbital mechanics and extraterrestrial possibilities. Let's break down some of the intriguing points:

  1. Fast Walkers and Defense Satellites: DSP satellites, used to track missiles and other objects, have reportedly detected objects entering Earth’s atmosphere from deep space. Some were labeled "Fast Walkers" due to their high-speed, non-missile-like characteristics. These sightings raise questions about whether these are technological objects of unknown origin.
  2. Historical Orbit Anomalies: Reports from the 1950s and 60s discuss large unidentified objects in Earth orbit, predating the space age. The “Black Knight” satellite, for example, supposedly appeared in polar orbit before either the U.S. or Soviet Union had achieved such a feat. This story reflects early speculations that Earth may have been observed by extraterrestrial technology.
  3. Satellite Anomalies and Self-Repair: Some satellites, such as Telstar and Mariner II, reportedly “repaired themselves” after technical failures, which adds another layer of mystery, although these could be due to rare but natural phenomena like self-correcting electronic malfunctions.
  4. Tehran Encounter and DSP Confirmation: In 1976, a DSP satellite reportedly tracked a glowing UFO near Tehran, adding military confirmation to what might otherwise be dismissed as anecdotal.
  5. Potential Extraterrestrial Probe – 1991 VG: Duncan Steel's observations of the object 1991 VG, which has a highly Earth-like orbit and unusual brightness fluctuations, suggest it could be an artificial object, perhaps even a probe from an extraterrestrial source.

EDIT: You can see the original text under the archive link. This summary is just a tl,dr.

I have never heard of this rumor before and just wanted to share because I thought it was interesting.

Can anybody add some context / evidence for this article? Have you seen this before?

Most people in this Subreddit likely recall this Signal exchange that Chris Mellon posted to his Substack in April. According to Mellon, it shows a conversation with a "Senior USG Official". In it, the official references a "still-highly classified memo by a Secretary of the USAF in the 1950s (that) is still in effect to maintain the cover on UAPs".

Signal Exchange posted by Chris Mellon

Per the NDAA signed at the end of 2023, this "still-highly classified memo" (if it actually exists) should now have been turned over to NARA:

The Records Collection will consist of “all government, government-provided, or government-funded records relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence[.]”  Further, not later than October 23, 2024, government offices must identify and review UAP records in their custody, and, on determining that a record should be disclosed to the public, transmit it to NARA, where it will be made available for public inspection.

The only exceptions are for things that pose a grave threat to "military defense, intelligence operations, or the conduct of foreign relations"

In the alternative, the government office also may determine that public disclosure of a record should be “postponed,” in which case the record will be secured in a “protected, yet-to-be-disclosed, or classified” part of the NARA Collection.  Postponement requires a finding that disclosure would pose a grave threat to military defense, intelligence operations, or the conduct of foreign relations.  Congress must be informed within 15 days of any decision to postpone public disclosure of a UAP record.

I have a lot of trouble believing that the divulgence of any Air Force memos from the 1950s would have any implications that would pose a "grave threat to military defense, intelligence operations, or the conduct of foreign relations". In addition, if the Air Force felt a need to postpone the disclosure, Congress would've been notified as well.

Has Mellon addressed this in any way yet? Has this supposed "memo" been turned over to NARA? Was Congress notified of a postponement? Or does this memo not actually exist?

Hey fellow sky-watchers!

I've been dedicating time to observing the skies around Dallas-Fort Worth, which got me researching nearby locations of interest. While the closest nuclear facility (Pantex Plant) is about 5 hours away, it made me wonder about creating a more organized observation network within our community.

Key Areas of Interest:

  • Nuclear facilities
  • Air Force bases
  • Proposed UFO hotspots (like Sedona)
  • Offshore locations (particularly Guadalupe Island)
  • Areas near intelligence facilities (such as Langley)

What I'm Proposing:

  1. Dedicate some time each week to stargazing
  2. Form regional sky-watching groups to maintain consistent observation
  3. Share data and sightings
  4. Coordinate observation times for better coverage
  5. Document and compare findings

I can cover the DFW area, but we need more eyes on the skies. Are any of you located near these hotspots or other high-interest areas? Let's move beyond just discussing sightings on Reddit and create an active observation network.

If interested, please comment with:

  • Your general location
  • Nearby points of interest
  • Best viewing times/availability
  • Any relevant experience or equipment

Let's turn our curiosity into action. Who's in?
