While conducting a research and exploratory mission in the Atlantic, the crew of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Okeanos Explorer vessel spotted a straight line of holes in the seafloor. The perforations, which look man-made, have scientists wondering what or who could have gone down there just to dig holes which serve no apparent purpose.

The scientific vessel Okeanos is currently exploring the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a large underwater mountain range, and the biota surrounding the region. During this past weekend, as part of their mapping and census activities, the ship's remote-operated vehicle was lowered to the ocean floor and immediately caught sight of the unusual sublinear sets of holes.

Confounded by the bizarre find, the NOAA team took to social media in the hopes of outsourcing an explanation. The answers received ranged from the mundane to the truly bizarre, with...

The discovery of small plesiosaur fossils in a 100-million-year-old river system that is now Morocco's Sahara Desert, has scientists wondering whether the legend of the monster inhabiting Loch Ness in Scotland may have some merit after all. It was previously thought that plesiosaur - an extinct marine reptile from the Mesozoic era - was a saltwater species not adept at surviving in freshwater bodies. But the new find suggests otherwise.

Nessie, as the mythical creature came to be known, is described as having a long neck and an overall morphology resembling a plesiosaur. Sporadic sightings of the creature began back in the sixth century AD and continue to this day. According to the study conducted at the University of Bath, the University of Portsmouth in the UK, and Université Hassan II in Morocco, Nessie fits the profile of a prehistoric animal capable of thriving...

The US Senate is becoming increasingly frustrated with the way the Pentagon is handling the UFO issue. The 2023 Defense Authorization Act provides ample opportunity and budgetary freedom to finally tackle the mystery of unidentified transmedium vehicles once and for all. But the Defense Department is not playing ball as intended.

The recent rebranding of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Group (AOIMSG) to the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is simply not good enough, lawmakers say. The UFO investigative group must join forces with other agencies in order to investigate truly anomalous objects that DO NOT meet the criteria for potential "man-made" objects.

To this end, Senator Mark Warner, who is the current chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is proposing to redefine and expand the role of AARO to facilitate and expedite the information flow...

NASA is going back to the Moon and is planning to stay. As we speak, the first of eight scheduled missions is ready to launch sometime in August of this year. According to the space agency, Artemis I has three upcoming launch windows that could propel the Orion spacecraft into lunar orbit and back to Earth before 2022 is out.

Artemis, daughter of Zeus and twin sister of Apollo, is finally getting her rightful place at NASA's hall of fame as the first female deity whose name will be used in an ambitious project to make a permanent station out of the Moon and a subsequent jumping point to other solar system planets. If everything goes according to plan, the inclusive program will put the first woman in our natural satellite by 2025.

The maiden flight of the Artemis program will be unmanned and will serve to test the myriad of instruments and systems developed for such an...

NASA is contemplating the possibility of using satellites to look for UFOs. Dr Thomas Zurbuchen, head of Nasa’s Science Mission Directorate, wants to repurpose a number of satellites to monitor large swaths of the sky for unidentified objects. In principle, these satellites can go about their usual scientific routine while keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

Weather and oceanography orbital platforms are already looking down and possess an exquisite suite of instruments that allow for multispectra data to be collected at an incredible rate and resolution. These satellites may be inadvertently recording high-fidelity images of UFOs as they cross the sky. In a conference with European journalists earlier this week, Col Pam Melroy, the deputy administrator of NASA, said: "This team is going to be looking at questions like: ‘do we have sensors that can see things, you know, take...

The red planet is the proverbial gift that keeps on giving. Now, a mysterious string-like object is at the center of attention of those who are convinced there is more to Mars than meets the digital rover's eye. The curious oddity was first spotted by the Perseverance Rover, and since the image's release by NASA last week, it has taken on a life of its own.

For quite a few decades now, footage of various planetary probes has depicted unusual formations that many believe are incontrovertible signs that Mars had a thriving civilization at one time. From helmets, to humanoid figures, to ginormous faces, pyramids, petrified flowers, and doors; the planet has become a projection screen for all of our hopes and dreams of finding out whether we are (or were) not alone in the universe.

The mystery bundle of strings, which suddenly vanished on subsequent photographs, is most likely a piece of...

The mouthful that once was AOIMSG, or the Airborne Object Identification and Management Group, is now the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Just a few hours ago, the U.S. Department of Defense issued a release announcing the establishment of the new UFO investigative group under a more pronounceable acronym, although critics are already citing the use of the word "Anomaly" as an indicator that the Pentagon may seek to find (at all cost) a prosaic explanation for any and all unidentified phenomena no matter how bizarre and sophisticated it may appear.

Ronald S. Moultrie, the current Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security and key participant in the recent UFO hearing, appointed Dr. Sean M. Kirkpatrick as the director of AARO. Dr. Kirkpatrick, who previously served as chief scientist at the Defense Intelligence Agency's Missile and Space Intelligence Center, will now lead...

Mike Bara is not mincing his words. In an interview for the British newspaper The Sun, the former aerospace engineer and lecturer denounced what he calls a sinister cover-up by the Pentagon to unleash a false flag alien invasion on humanity. Mr. Bara, who is a frequent guest on the popular TV show Ancient Aliens, is also a prolific author who dabbles in all manner of conspiracy theories. Shortly after the release of the Pentagon's UFO videos back in 2017, Bara immediately started noticing glaringly obvious inconsistencies and deviations in standard procedures in the footage presented to the public.

During the recent interview with The Sun, Bara went on the record to debunk the otherworldly aura given to what he perceives to be nothing more than prosaic military aircraft doing ordinary things. The "Tic-Tac" video, for example, does not show an alien craft...

NOPE is coming to a theater near you and critics are already buzzing about it. The science fiction film is in the best tradition of Hollywood blockbusters such as Independence Day and Steven Spielberg cinematography all rolled into one, critics say. Director Jordan Peele is hoping to convey a '50s-era nostalgia coupled to the classic flying saucer phenomenon motif.

The plot of the film focuses on the lives of two siblings who operate Hollywood’s only Black-owned horse ranch. After discovering that an alien spaceship is hovering over their family’s property, the dynamic duo sets out to capture the spaceship on camera. but the mission inevitably turns into a spectacle of horror. Director Peele, who is well-versed in the oddities of Skinwalker Ranch, says he drew inspiration for his film from UFO folklore deeply embedded in our society.

This film is definitely a brilliant piece of "Americana" and is just what is needed after the...

NASA's recent announcement that it will launch a preliminary study on unidentified aerial phenomena was well-received by the UFO community. Although the budget allocated to such endeavor raised quite a few eyebrows due to its paltry amount, it was nevertheless a step in the right direction.

Despite this newfound open-mindedness on the subject, not everyone is convinced NASA is being genuine or truthful about its agenda regarding UFOs. For quite sometime now, conspiracy aficionados have been decrying what they perceive to be a continuing, massive cover-up perpetrated by the space agency spanning decades.

If the rumors are to be believed, NASA is not only hiding from the public the reality of extraterrestrial activity on our planet, but is indeed engaged in some sort of cosmic collusion with entities from other solar systems.

On its 2019 January issue, the American publication...

We continue our tour of South American UFO lore with yet another remarkable account of high strangeness. This one hails from Bolivia and is quite fascinating and horrifying at the same time. The story gained worldwide notoriety after famed UFO investigator J. J. Benítez traveled to Bolivia in 2001 to interview the witness.

According to then 24 year-old Valentina Flores, a native Quechua resident of Opoco, a remote province situated in the south-western highlands of Bolivia, the bizarre encounter occurred while she was tending to her flock of sheep and llamas.

Soon after noticing that some of the llamas had wandered off from the grazing pasture, Valentina set out to retrieve them but not before corralling her sheep and their offsprings in a nearby stone structure adjacent to the field.

Upon her return, she was horrified to find a child-like, extraterrestrial entity on his knees, gutting...

The South American continent is famous for its rich history and variety of cultures. Home to the world’s largest tropical rainforest hosting a diverse ecosystem and an imposing mountain range stretching the length of the Southern Hemisphere, it should come as no surprise that visitors from distant worlds would find this region of the globe worthy of exploration. In October of 1972, that is indeed what allegedly took place on a little-known island off the coast of Uruguay.

"Isla de Lobos," named for its colony of fur seals, the island's primary residents, is also home to a lighthouse which at some point in history was fully manned and operated by the Uruguayan Navy before becoming automated and remotely controlled.

On the 28th of October of said year, a contingent of five navy officers were stationed at the lighthouse conducting routine maintenance...

The '60s were a time of turmoil around the world. In the US, antiwar sentiments and the Soviet threat were at an all-time high. In the middle of all this geopolitical chaos which brought forth the counterculture revolution and the civil rights movement, UFOs never really took a backseat in the mind of the defense and intelligence establishment, which not only kept a watchful eye on hippies and activists, but also on the unabated presence of unknown objects in the skies.

In the waning years of Project Blue Book, which ran from 1952 until its termination on December 17, 1969, numerous reports of military encounters with unidentified objects were filed but never saw the light of day - until now. Such is the case of the US Navy destroyer USS Gyatt, which found itself the target of harassment by a mysterious, black, triangle-shaped UFO for five consecutive days.

According to Freedom of...

The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to pass legislation addressing the process of reporting UFOs by members of the armed services and civilian contractors doing business with the federal government. The new law is "one of the greatest efforts in recent history to foster transparency on this topic. This legislation may open the floodgates," said Luis Elizondo in a recent interview with Politico.

Spearheaded by Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), this bipartisan piece of legislation provides an umbrella of protection for those secretly working on unidentified aerial phenomena projects who are prevented from disclosing any information about such programs to qualified government officials due to non-disclosure agreements and security oaths. In addition, the bill also calls for periodic compliance assessments by the Office of the Inspector General to...

Four additional James Webb Space Telescope images were released today by NASA as part of their public outreach program. Yesterday, President Biden and Vice President Harris got briefed about the preliminary observations Webb is now conducting of the cosmos. The breathtaking images show with incredible detail how clusters of galaxies looked just a few million years after the creation of the universe.

Conspicuously absent from the stunning imagery display were exoplanets. Online UFO enthusiasts were hoping that NASA would release actual images of these abundant gassy giants and super earths known to exist and orbit just about any star peppering the visible universe. Instead, all they got was a spectrum graph with cryptic wiggly lines supposedly showing the atmospheric composition of WASP-96 b, a hot exoplanet orbiting its parent star every 3 days.

While it is undeniable that Webb will...

Extraterrestrial probes exploring the galaxy could be using stellar bodies as transmission towers, a recent study suggests. On Earth, the placement of telecommunication towers and satellites serves to keep us connected with each other and relay information relatively efficiently. On cosmic scales, however, the issue of data transmission becomes tricky. The vast distances a signal needs to travel in order to convey useful information without significant attenuation could present an advanced civilization with insurmountable connectivity issues. Can you hear me yet?

Thankfully, interstellar alien probes scouting the cosmos can make use of "gravitational lensing" - a well-known relativistic phenomenon - to solve and boost their broadcasting range issues without incurring in expensive roaming charges. As many of you know, massive bodies affect spacetime in weird ways that are more or less...

The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is in the oven, and lawmakers are already working on some interesting amendments related to UFOs in this upcoming budgetary bill. The NDAA, as we all know, funds the entire Department of Defense's military and intelligence branches. Since UFOs or UAPs have now become a national security issue, US representatives want to ensure the process of investigating anomalous phenomena is running smoothly.

To this end, Representative Mike Gallagher of the House Armed Services Committee has proposed a comprehensive set of guidelines in the form of an amendment that will, in principle, guarantee more transparency and data sharing related to UFOs. In essence, this new mandate gives broad discretionary powers to the newly-established Airborne Object...

The (in) famous monument was almost reduced to rubble after an unknown number of vandals or activists placed and detonated a home-made explosive device on the polarizing monoliths. The blast, heard and felt across the city of Elberton in the early morning hours of June 6th, caused local residents to wonder if a terrorist attack had occurred in their relatively quiet community.

The Georgia Guidestones have been the subject of controversy for some time now. Erected in 1980 by the Elberton Granite Finishing Company on behalf of "a small group of loyal Americans," the slabs of granite contained a set of etched guidelines in twelve different languages meant to guide humanity into "an Age of Reason."

Authorities investigating the event are looking for potential clues that may lead to the capture and arrest of the perpetrators. In the past, the 19-foot-tall stone slabs have been the target of vandals and conspiracy theorists, who...

William Sachiti, a British millionaire entrepreneur and expert in robotics, wants to look for UFOs. And what better way to do it than to use a powerful, decommissioned, Cold War-era radar station. The saga began back in 2015, when Royal Air Force base Neatishead went up for sale. For decades, the RAF installation served as an early-warning system should the Soviets decide to launch a surprise attack on Warsaw Pact nations.

Mr. Sachiti, who owns and operates 'Kar-go', a self-driving electric vehicle that delivers packages all over Britain, was in need of a facility where he could continue the development and testing of his technology. Packed with factories, roads, and underground bunkers, the decommissioned base was exactly was Sachiti needed to house his operation.

As a purchase bonus, the base came equipped with an AMES Type 84 radar unit. Designed to emit a powerful...

That's right. The short-range wireless technology is named after a famous Viking king you've probably never heard of. Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson, ruled as King of Denmark from AD 958 to 986. Known for his bravery in battle, Harald is credited with consolidating the economic and military power of Scandinavia, as well as introducing Christianity to Denmark. But even though his wealth and might were exceedingly abundant, it were no match for tooth decay. According to lore, King Harald earned the nickname "Bluetooth" for having an unsightly blue-black tooth - a clear sign of dental deterioration.

For many decades, archaeologists and historians searched for clues leading to the final resting place of King Harald. The actual burial place of "Bluetooth" was lost to historical record due to the fact that pagan traditions placed the king's tomb among the many royal mounds...
