Newly released Pentagon UFO files have revealed extraordinary witness accounts of seven-foot creatures, mysterious lights, and an alleged portal to another world near Utah's infamous Skinwalker Ranch.

I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words right away because my mind connects things quickly, so please bear with me.

I’ve followed the UFO phenomenon since the mid-1990s. Growing up in Tucson under a major military flight path, I became an aviation nut. At nearly 50 years old, I have over 17,000 days of logged experience knowing exactly how military aircraft behave, how they sound, and how optical illusions (like an aircraft flying on your exact heading) make things look like they are hovering. Yet, in 17,000+ days, I’ve never seen a definitive UFO.

But after decades of research, looking at the disinformation maze (Doty, Lear, Lazar), and seeing brilliant local minds like University of Arizona's Dr. James E. McDonald die without answers, I’ve had a massive paradigm shift.

The Pentagon just released its 7th batch of declassified files under the PURSUE initiative, highlighting anonymous reports and digital renditions of "black triangular craft." Many call it useless hearsay. But I’m looking at the purpose behind it, and I’m playing Devil’s Advocate.

Take the stories of these craft executing sudden "vertical takeoffs" or levitating. If you look past the hearsay at the actual logistics, there is a much more likely human explanation: Southern California, specifically Lockheed's Helendale RCS facility. To an untrained eye, a highly classified stealth fuselage being hoisted vertically into the desert air on a massive, hidden 100-foot hydraulic pylon looks exactly like a UFO defying physics.

This is where the multi-move chess game comes in. If we are building things that look this alien, then the entire "extraterrestrial" narrative might just be the ultimate cover story. The government hides its cutting-edge tech behind alien myths, while using the alien myths to hide an even deeper reality.

Imagine being a world leader forced to announce catastrophic disclosure to billions of uninitiated people. What if the truth is that our DNA was manipulated, and every major religion was just a simulated layer of narrative control? A sudden revelation like that would cause civilization-ending chaos.

The "slow drip" of these files isn't just a political distraction. It’s an engineering necessity. It is the vital system headroom needed to condition the masses before a truth drops that humanity might never recover from.

I invite you to chime in if you want to, but I prefer to have an intelligent conversation. I don’t judge or dismiss just because I don’t know what you’re talking about. Your opinion matters and I respect it, and I demand you respect mine.

From Strattons book "Out of the Shadows":

"As of June of 2026, there are at least two privately owned sites in the U.S. that are having daily UAP activity and are active FBI investigation sites. The FBI literally has boots on the ground at these locations, where FBI agents are observing and recording UAP activity on a daily basis. I am receiving regular updates on thee investigations directly from the FBI, and I'm providing my expertise to help them."

After the latest tranche I think this gives credence to what Stratton says, but I'm curious if anyone has any guesses as to what locations he's referring to.

“I have seen with my own eyes non-human craft and non-human beings.” — Jay Stratton, The Age of Disclosure

That line is why I bought Out of the Shadows. Going in, I hoped the book would expand on that statement with what I’d assumed it meant: a body in cold storage, a craft in a hangar, something in a reverse-engineering lab.

Stratton does describe encounters with beings, just not in the bowels of some secret bunker. They happen as part of a bizarre and varied set of hitchhiker-effect experiences at home. The “non-human beings” seem to include a wolf-man creature, shadow beings and, yes, a classic grey alien levitating just outside a second-story window. There are craft and orbs, as well as a plethora of other paranormal activity: unexplainable injuries, healing and so on.

This was perhaps the most challenging part for me. Stratton’s experiences don’t really align with the “easy” explanations of the phenomenon, like engagement from one or more civilizations and their craft, whether extraterrestrial, cryptoterrestrial or something else. I get it. Reality is under no obligation to align with our preferences. NHI don’t respect office hours or personal and professional boundaries. Fine. But damn, I was really hoping this wasn’t going to be this fucking weird.

It raises a lot of questions. To what degree is the Skinwalker phenomenon representative of the wider UAP phenomenon? Stratton never suggests otherwise, and his preferred term, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,” suggests he takes a broad view. Does Skinwalker represent a single phenomenon, or are we seeing multiple agents at play? I’m not sure Stratton takes a strong position on this, but my reading is that he sees all of it as manifestations of one thing. And how does any of this square with the physical craft and bodies the crash-retrieval program supposedly holds?

So I guess what I’m basically describing is ontological shock. I’d kept much of the woo at bay. I’d hoped for an explanation that was incredible, awe-inspiring and far-reaching in its implications, but fundamentally logical and understandable.

Unfortunately, that’s not what Stratton is telling us. What he’s saying, in effect, is:

I’m a credible guy, and I’m telling you: this phenomenon isn’t just aliens and UFOs. It’s fucking shadow people disappearing into your chest, weird-ass wolf creatures in your garden, orbs that might heal you or give you cancer, and shit that scratches you in your kitchen when there’s nothing there. Buckle the fuck up, people. This isn’t Close Encounters, it’s Poltergeist.

ITs a DEMONSTRATION, NOT actual UFO, but one could see how fast phasing or spinning objects would appear like UFO in their classical shapes !

SO, the UFO may not have the shape that we see !!!

Trump was asked about UAP on Logan Paul, Joe Rogan and Newsmax.
Each time he returns to the same answers:

1. He describes exceptionally handsome military pilots. (x3)
2. He establishes their credibility: they are serious people, not conspiracy theorists. (x3)
3. He recounts the round object travelling four times faster than an F-22. (x3)
4. He distances himself from the subject by presenting himself as a sceptic. (x2)
5. He digresses into Area 51 and its tourist appeal. (x3)

He is consistent. Let's see if the next time he speaks about it he goes for a forth identical response. This is something a conscious interviewer needs to move beyond with a more direct, firmer line of questioning.

Trump's lack of belief is now in the past tense, which needs to be unpacked:

On Logan Paul June 2024: “Am I a believer? No”
On Joe Rogan, October 2024: “It's not a great interest for me”
Newsmax, October 2026: “I wasn't much of a believer”

If the midterms are the Republican disaster predicted, Trump might need to roll out the Roswell egg.

Note: Four times faster than an F-22 is about 6,848 mph or 11,021 km/h.

Of potential interest to researchers:

Library and Archives Canada recently updated their archive of UFO sighting records to make them more search-friendly.

9,000+ documents available, mostly digitized copies of original sighting records from the National Research Council, Dept of National Defence, RCMP, and Dept of Transport, 1930s to 2009.

I don't believe any of this is newly declassified, but it's quite fascinating to look at the original accounts:

This past week in Disclosure:

Oct 16 – Airprox Board records show RAF crews reported unidentified black objects passing overhead in February

Two entries in the UK Airprox Board's summary sheet for its April meeting, published in the spring and reported by the Telegraph on Oct 16 from RAF incident logs, record unidentified objects passing close above military aircraft over the North Sea in February.

On Feb 18 an RAF Voyager was refuelling a Typhoon at 16,000 ft, 32 nautical miles north-north-east of Cromer. From the Board's record of the pilot's report:

"The object was black and circular in nature passing approximately 100-150ft directly above the Voyager. The proximity was such that it made them instinctively duck and it was notified to ATC as a drone." – UK Airprox Board, Airprox 2026012

The Swanwick military controller "confirmed they had nothing on their radar." One of the Typhoon pilots also saw it. The crew later said "it is impossible to positively identify it was a drone and could have been a balloon or something similar". On Feb 23 a Typhoon pilot at 12,000 ft in a danger area off the Yorkshire coast reported "a circular black object (similar in size to a car tyre) pass directly above them" at about 300 ft (Airprox 2026014). The Board's finding on both: "the reported altitude and/or description of the object were such that they were unable to determine the nature of the unknown object." It rated the Voyager event risk B (safety much reduced) and the Typhoon event risk C. "Unknown object" is the Board's own category. The Ministry of Defence hasn't commented on either.

Oct 18 – Coulthart claims the President has now been briefed on a legacy programme, while Stratton and Burlison say the opposite

Three accounts of what the President knows, in one week, none of them documented.

According to Ross Coulthart, citing unnamed sources on NewsNation's Reality Check on Oct 18, President Trump is now fully aware of a crash-retrieval programme and the matter is being overseen at a high level in the White House, with Devin Nunes, who chairs the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, named as the key figure. No White House response exists.

Jay Stratton, continuing his book tour, told NewsNation's Chris Cuomo on Oct 21 that the programme he calls the Legacy Program has kept its secret "from not only Congress, but the President. So the President is unaware of this." In the same interview he described an experience at his home while he was investigating UAP for the government, a being with a "Very large head. And it was watching my son." (4:04) No evidence accompanies either account.

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), on NewsNation's The Hill the same day (clip): "We have a very Deep State that's still holding onto a lot of information." The President's own words, on Oct 15, were "I'm looking."

Oct 23 – The Pentagon publishes PURSUE release 7: 28 documents, no video, and a 2026 federal-agent report of a silent black triangle

The Department of War published its seventh tranche of UAP files, five weeks after the sixth: 28 PDFs and, for the first time, no video. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell's statement says the department "and our agency partners are actively working on the next release of UAP files."

The document everyone covered is an FBI interview record (FD-302) with two federal law-enforcement special agents, and AARO's memorandum of its own debrief of them. The date, the location and the agents' names are redacted. At 8:23 pm, alerted by a third agent at a second post with long-range thermal equipment, the two agents crossed their hilltop observation post and, in their co-signed statement:

"almost immediately observed a substantial, nonreflective, dark black triangular object most resembling a delta wing drone. We estimated the object's wingspan at approximately nine to fifteen feet, its depth at six to nine feet, and its thickness at one to two feet." – FBI FD-302, co-signed statement of two special agents

AARO's memo breaks the sighting into three phases: a ten-second "slow, controlled, perfectly vertical ascent" to 200 to 300 ft above a ridge line 1.4 to 3.2 miles away, a twenty-second hover, and then:

"It then reportedly transitioned from a zero-velocity state directly into high-speed horizontal flight, executing a fluid banking maneuver and terrain-hugging descent into a canyon drainage in approximately two to three seconds, with speed the observers described to be as fast as a fighter jet." – AARO, Memorandum for Record DOW-UAP-D176

"Absolute acoustic silence persisted throughout the high-velocity phase." The thermal signature was uniform across the airframe, with no exhaust and no visible seams, apertures or cockpit. The agents, who the memo says regularly watch conventional aircraft and drones from that hilltop, said "even a conventional Group 1 drone, high-torque quadcopter motor, or rotary-wing aircraft operating at a distance of 1.4 miles would have been clearly audible." A ground survey the next morning "located no wreckage, ground scarring, or vegetation damage."

What the documents don't contain, in AARO's own words: "No instrumented speed measurement was obtained." The only sensor was a handheld thermal monocular, and the memo opens with a caveat that the report "reflects the reporter's interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics."

The other 26 files: nineteen Bigelow Aerospace (BAASS) documents from the 2008–10 DIA contract, including the project management plan, monthly reports, the Project Capella data-warehouse proposal, a 60-page April 2010 task-force report on the Utah ranch, and BAASS's November 2010 self-assessment of its analysis capabilities; nine 1949–57 Air Force intelligence reports from Sweden, Italy, Germany, Morocco, Alaska, Guam, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Indiana; four Project Blue Book record cards for Catalina Island; a 298-page personnel file for Col. Howard McCoy, Project Sign's intelligence chief; and 1962–64 White House and NASA correspondence on recovering foreign space fragments, which concerns Soviet-era satellite debris rather than UAP. Avi Loeb, who chairs the UAP Science Advisory Council, noted that the triangle report includes neither a measured speed nor raw sensor recordings, and told NewsNation the tranche data is "not good enough" to resolve what the objects are.

Oct 23 – Carson calls for the "immediate release" of AARO's second historical report

Rep. André Carson (D-IN), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told The Hill in a statement that the administration has "slow walked" UAP transparency, and singled out AARO's Historical Record Report, Volume II, promised since Volume I in March 2024 and still unpublished:

"I'm calling for the immediate release of this report, which is expected to provide additional findings of historical military and intelligence investigations of UAP, including how incidents were investigated, the role of classified programs, and whether relevant activities were appropriately disclosed to Congress." – Rep. André Carson (D-IN), House Intelligence Committee

The Hill's piece asks how Democrats would handle UAP if they retake the House. The answer, on the record, is thin: Hakeem Jeffries' July 2023 line that he supports transparency "to the extent this information that can be put into the public domain that is enlightening", and nothing since on a select committee or the Disclosure Act. The UAP Caucus is shrinking too. Nancy Mace is retiring, Andy Ogles lost renomination, and Jared Moskowitz, its only Democrat, faces a redrawn Florida district.

Things to look out for in the near future:

Late October/November

• The next PURSUE release, "on a rolling basis". The seven so far came two to six weeks apart. war.gov/ufo
• Germany's answer to the Bundestag UAP question (an AfD Kleine Anfrage of Oct 2), not yet published. Drucksache 21/8323
• Midterms: whether House Democrats, if they win, keep the Secrets Task Force or stand up a UAP committee, Comer's lame-duck hearing, and whether Burlison invites the orb-event witnesses to testify. Ask a Pol, The Hill
• The lame-duck Senate NDAA and conference. There is no conference yet: the Senate hasn't passed its bill, so the House's UAP Disclosure Act waits. CRS

By year-end

• Loeb’s deadline for ODNI to deliver sensor data to the Science Advisory Council. The council has started publishing its own analysis of the released videos in the meantime. Politico, Medium
• AARO’s FY2026 annual report, and the Sec. 1671 intercept briefing covering 2004 onward. Pub. L. 119-60

Beyond / unknown

• Whether the late-2025 orb event Burlison describes is identified in the PURSUE files, and whether its witnesses appear before Congress. Dr. Phil Podcast

Ive been listening to Chris Ramsey's Lacerta files LF coverage again since the joe rogan interview with grusch and have noticed some interesting intersects.

The LF indicate reptilian use the cylinder tic tacs just as Grusch pointed out so I was curious how wide spread this idea has been confident about in the community. For instance LF mentions triangles are our military among others which is something I've heard in the community for years but never anyone confident enough to say for sure the tic tacs are reptiles.

LF mentions sky wars with grays reptiles and a 3rd species which was honestly wild to hear Grusch comment on similarly.

LF even mentions the physics behind the propulsion being electromagnetic gravitics which is what Jesse Michaels has be going on about these years.

As I go over the LF again im just as curious as ever the synchronicities, is this all one big Larp or are we really living some depressing Truman show/star wars reality??

call it a shower thought but the one thing I would genuinely hope to gain from contact with advanced beings would be access to any true historical archives of human civilization.

I know, so many assumptions for this... but still can you imagine if earth has been visited for a really long time and the vistors kept records? What may have pre-dated even our most cutting-edge attempts to look back at our development? Even glimpses of modern human history from a 'observers' perspective would likley be fascinating 🤔

I honestly don't know why I shared this fleeting thought, maybe I'm under control, lol

Hi everyone i'm the founder and lead developer of UFOREC.COM, a global social platform dedicated to UFOs and UAPs.

First, thanks to the moderators for allowing me to share my project.

For the past several months, I've been working on UFOREC, a global social platform dedicated to UFOs and UAPs.

I decided to program the entire platform from scratch, and it's now approximately 73.6% developed.

So far, I've worked on:

• Community News
• UFO/UAP sighting reports
• Investigation Center
• Live Streaming
• A multilingual platform supporting 6 languages
• Website and Android app development
• Lot More

The idea is simple: bring people from around the world together to document sightings, share evidence, discuss cases, and investigate unexplained phenomena.

I'll be honest, these past few months have been extremely difficult for me personally. I've faced some serious challenges, but I've kept working on this because I genuinely believe in what I'm building.

There's still a lot to finish before launch, but I'm determined to keep moving forward.

And this is where I'd really love your input.

Since I'm building UFOREC for the community, I want to know what YOU would like to see in it.

Are there any features, tools, or ideas you wish existed on a UFO/UAP platform? Anything that would make reporting sightings, investigating cases, or connecting with others easier?

I'm genuinely open to suggestions, and if an idea makes sense, I'd love to consider integrating it into the platform.

I'm also open to connecting with developers, researchers, and anyone interested in contributing their skills.

I don't just want to build an app for the UFO community. I want to build it WITH the community.

What would you like to see in UFOREC?

Thanks for reading and for sharing your ideas!

Mods gave me the OK to post this, so here goes.

A few months ago I was tired of having to keep checking a dozen sites, substacks, and subreddits for UFO/UAP and high strangeness news, so I built an aggregator page: enigmaticnews.com

I'm using a Drudge-style list of headlines. I update it twice daily, r/UFOs is one of the main sources, along with The Debrief, The Anomalist, Liberation Times, etc (there's close to 100 sources at this point).

I pick the stories by running all the feeds through a filter that drops about 98% of what comes in ( re-posts, dupes, clickbait, low quality, etc) and then I review what's left by hand before posting. The idea is one place to go in 60 seconds to see what's worth reading.

It's free, no ads, and I'm not trying to replace this (or any) sub. There are days where there are links that point back here.

Any feedback would be great. Also are there any other sources I should consider adding?

A transatlantic flight carrying hundreds of holidaymakers came within feet of catastrophe after a mystery airborne object shot past the aircraft shortly after taking off from Heathrow Airport, a safety report has revealed. The British Airways Boeing 777-300ER was climbing out of the UK’s busiest airport en route to New York when the flight crew spotted the bizarre metallic object screaming towards them at high speed.

The packed passenger jet, carrying 256 passengers and crew, was ascending through 5,800 feet over Guildford, Surrey, when the near-disaster unfolded in broad daylight. The stunned captain urgently contacted air traffic controllers after the mystery projectile hurtled past in the opposite direction, coming within feet of tearing into the airliner's right wing.

According to the pilot's report, the object passed no more than 50 feet above the aircraft's altitude, travelling at blistering speed. Official logs show the pilot immediately radioed the London Terminal Control Centre (LTCC) to report that a high-speed projectile had buzzed the right-hand side of the wide-body jet

The object was described by cockpit crew as "shiny silver", highly reflective, and approximately "the size of four toasters". While the crew initially feared the airborne hazard might have been an errant drone, aviation investigators admitted they were left baffled by the object's appearance and extraordinary altitude.

Following a probe into the June 24 incident, the UK Airprox Board (UKAB)—the official watchdog tasked with investigating near-misses in British skies—classified the event as a serious safety scare. Investigators officially ruled that they were unable to verify what the bizarre object actually was, warning that a devastating crash had been avoided purely by chance.

Bob Lazar’s story has one detail that keeps nagging at me: the element 115 he says powered the craft at S-4. He’s suggested he had access to a sample, and I’ve come across claims that investigators searched his home or workshop for it. If that’s true, could the possibility of revealing a real sample have been his ultimate protection—or was the “hidden element 115” story itself a way to make people think twice about going after him?

I’m not claiming either version is true, and I may be mixing up details about the search. I’m curious what theories people here find plausible. Did Lazar ever actually have a sample? Could it have served as a kind of “insurance policy”? Or was it simply part of a story that helped shield him from scrutiny?

What do you think—and what evidence or details have shaped your view?

This is an interesting report from the 7th tranche. Two (reliable) airmen straight-up saw an orb act like an orb over a Cold War base and reported it. The report went all through the top secret channels.

This article is based upon the Hebrew YouTube interview of F-15 fighter pilot Dror Gorlik in an interview with his own son. All details and the original video are within the article.

Rule 3 currently states.

This rule is an attempt to elevate the quality of discussion. To prevent lazy karma farming posts.

This generally includes:

Posts containing jokes, memes, and showerthoughts.

Posts of AI generated content. AI is permissible in narrow circumstances e.g. document summary, witness artwork in place of a hand drawn sketch.

Posts of social media content without relevant context. e.g. "Saw this on TikTok..."

Posts with incredible claims unsupported by evidence.

“Here’s my theory” posts unsupported by evidence.

There have been several complaints that we're too quick to remove posts, citing Rule 3.

We will be conducting a short trial where we will be more permissive of posts that would usually be removed for not being substantive.

Posts must still comply with the remaining rules.

So I'm assuming a call was made about the UFO to police. The group is ran by paramedics, amateur journalists, some cops, etc. It's a very small state lol so I am trying to find out more info now. anyone else on the east coast of the us particularly Delaware and Maryland see or hear anything weird yesterday?
