Tim Burchett: I've seen things, but that's since I've been in Congress and I'm not allowed to discuss this.

I would just hope that the president would disclose everything that I've seen, in every SCIF I've been in, in every confidential conversation, every picture I've seen, every video I've seen, I wish that he would release all those.

Benny Johnson: Will that change the world?

Tim Burchett: No, I don't think so. I think we'd just realize that we're one grain of sand in a hundred million beaches. I mean, if you think that we’re the best that God can do, I think you greatly underestimate God.

People are freaking out about the DOW-UAP-PR116 UAP from the 4th tranche of records, even calling it a mothership.

When I first saw it, it just looked like a bunch of balloons to me, but something was odd about it.

Well, I believe I figured it out. They stretched the video!

The description on the government's website says that the United States Northern Command submitted it to AARO.

Once you reduce the width by 50 percent, like I did here, it looks like a bunch of balloons even more than before. Even the dot at the top of the video does not look stretched anymore.

Why did they stretch it? Was it USNORTHCOM who stretched it before sending it to AARO, or was it AARO before releasing it?

In my opinion, someone is gaslighting us with these altered videos. They are purposely taking videos of mundane things and altering them to look like something more unusual, so they don't actually share the good stuff with us.

In linguistics, presupposition is when a speaker smuggles a claim into a sentence as assumed background information rather than stating it as the main point. Obama does this a lot in his speeches.

"The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through." - "A More Perfect Union" speech (2008)

"We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work." - 2009 Inaugural Address

The words "we know" or "the fact is" are a factive presupposition trigger. He's not arguing that this is true, but rather he's presupposing that everyone already accepts it. The real policy argument is embedded as shared knowledge.

On the Brian Tyler Cohen Podcast on February 14, 2026, this was the discussion:

Cohen: Are aliens real?

Obama: They're real, but I haven't seen them. And they're not being kept in, what is it? Area 51. There's no underground facility — unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.

I think that Obama did the same "smuggling in the claim" thing here as he has done in speeches. Or another way of viewing it as as neuro-lingustic programming, like when a dude says, "I would never say I am an incredibly giving lover." See how you smuggle in the claim Anyway, I think that's what Obama did.

And by the way, this claim comes months after the release of Age of Disclosure where then-Senator Marco Rubio makes that exact claim. Obama's a smart guy. He must know what Rubio said. Obama's statement is a wink to the public.

Obama's Instagram clarification the next day was also carefully worded: "I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us." Not "there is no evidence." Just that he didn't see it. This is Bill-Clinton-level parsing of words.

While we're on the subject of Obama on talk shows, here's the transcript from Jimmy Kimmel Live on March 12, 2015.

Kimmel: Did you look? Did you see? Did you explore?

Obama: I can't reveal anything.

Kimmel: Oh really? Because President Clinton said he did go right in and he did check and there was nothing.

Obama: Well, you know, that's what we're instructed to say.

And earlier:

Obama: The aliens won't let it happen. You'd reveal all their secrets. They exercise strict control over us.

He says the final sentence seemingly as a joke line. But I think Obama has wanted to tell what he knows for a long time. He doesn't want to tarnish his reuptation but being one of the presidents who lied to the public. I think once official White House disclosure happens Obama will get his proxies to go on shows and point to these interviews to show that he was doing his best to tell people the truth within the restrictions he faced.

By the way, Obama's Kimmel appearance was one month after John Podesta, Obama's former White House counselor publicly tweeted that his biggest failure of 2014 was "once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files."

And so, I read that when these ex-presidents go on this nightime talk shows, the host doesn't surprise them with questions like this. They either request to be asked certain questions or at the very least agree to be asked certain questions.

And for the record, here's what Obma said on On the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on November 30, 2020.

Obama: Certainly asked about it.

Colbert: And?

Obama: Can't tell you. Sorry.

Colbert pressed: "Because if there was none, you'd say there was none, right? You just played your hand. I thought you were a poker player. You just 100% showed your river card."

Obama: Feel free to think that.

Then: "It used to be that UFOs and Roswell was the biggest conspiracy. And now that seems so tame, the idea that the government might have an alien spaceship." (emphasis added)

Notice how Obama smuggles in that bit about the alien spacehip with his neuro-lingusitic programming method of communication.

And On the Late Late Show with James Corden on May 17, 2021, here's what he said:

Obama: When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can't tell you on air.

Then, shifting to a serious tone:

Obama: What is true — and I'm actually being serious here — is that there's footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are. We can't explain how they moved, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so, I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is.

When he says "There are some things I just can't tell you on air" he is telling us (again) that there is a there there.

Obama is a smart guy. He knows what he's doing with language. He has been using presupposition, embedded commands, and counterfactual framing his entire career to make contested claims feel like accepted background facts. When he does it about aliens, is it the one time in his career that he's using these techniques to joke rather than to communicate truth?

TL;DR: Obama is a documented user of linguistic presupposition, which is embedding controversial claims as assumed background facts rather than assertions. He does this in his political speech. He has been hinting about aliens for 13 years using embedding claims or saying things that are real but stating them as laugh lines. Either he's running the most linguistically sophisticated comedy bit in presidential history, or he's been disclosing classified information in plain sight.

Rep. Burlison was warned by someone with Special Forces and Intel Community experience that he may be killed for pursuing the truth about UFOs

“They said, ‘You need to take those 2 names off your list and never talk about [them] again. They’d have no problem having you killed.’”

What the Danish govt is saying

UPDATE: Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen addressed the nation tonight in a crucial speech regarding the recent drone incidents targeting Danish infrastructure.

She described the events as hybrid attacks meant to create fear, insecurity, and division, and stressed that they reveal vulnerabilities in Denmark and across Europe. Frederiksen emphasized that such attacks including drones, cyberattacks, and sabotage are part of a broader pattern of hybrid warfare.

The Prime Minister highlighted that authorities cannot yet identify the actor behind the incidents but pointed to Russia as the primary threat to European security. She announced that the alert level has been raised, with police and military forces deploying additional anti-drone capabilities around critical infrastructure.

Frederiksen acknowledged that mistakes can occur in crisis situations and that no country can guarantee drones will not cross borders in the future. Yet she reassured citizens: You can go to bed safe tonight while understanding the seriousness of the situation.

She warned that more such incidents are likely, framing the events as the beginning of a hybrid war against Europe, and urged the public to remain vigilant but calm.

Saw this from Twitter. Nothing suspicious right?

And to people saying these all have explainable causes and this is just sensationalism. Yeah and windows just happens to be the leading cause of death in Russia.

Charting Stars

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office received a report from a U.S. military Service consisting of one minute and thirty-six seconds of full-motion video footage captured by a camera aboard a U.S. military platform in the Middle East in 2024. According to the reporting Service, the recording likely depicts a slow-moving spheroidal object. AARO assesses, with high confidence, that the object depicted in the video is almost certainly (≥95% likelihood) a consumer-grade reflective foil balloon. AARO bases its assessment on the object's strong morphological consistency with other resolved imagery depicting balloons and its behavioral correlation with recorded wind speed and direction during the event.

Rick Wilson is a political commentator, an author, and a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, a "pro-democracy" Political Action Committee composed of former Republicans. In the below video, at 14:50, he mentions that a source (presumably inside the US government) has told him that President Trump will soon have a press conference about "UFOs":

"Right before we came on the air somebody texted me - apparently Trump is preparing to come out with a major press conference about UFOs."

Wilson's claim is followed by some mild laughter by the other guests, but there is no other UFO content or discussion in the video, which is of a generally anti-Trump administration nature. I have followed Wilson's reporting and commentary for several years and would consider him to me much more reliable than any of the UFO celebrity information sources.

I’m Ben Schreckinger, a former POLITICO reporter who recently launched Paradigm.News to investigate UFOs

I know “Whistling Mike” has been discussed here before. I've published his true identity along with some new details about his saga and his plans.

Mike is Michael Spicer, a Wichita-area businessman. He says that more than 20 years ago he encountered a quiet, roughly triangular, fighter-jet-sized craft hovering low over public land in Kansas. He says he subsequently spent years trying to reverse-engineer aspects of its technology and developed a system intended to detect the craft.

Those are Spicer’s claims. I have not independently established that the craft exists or that his conclusions about its technology are correct.

What I was able to establish is that in 2023, Spicer briefed members and staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee about his findings. During that process, he left them with a dark, dense, porous rock — raw material that Spicer says he mined after determining that the same material is used in the craft.

Three people familiar with the episode told me the committee kept the object for months in a safe inside the Hart Senate Office Building.

I also obtained and published a photo of the material.

There’s more in the piece about Spicer’s interactions with AARO, former acting AARO director Tim Phillips’ very skeptical account of him, an FBI referral, and Spicer’s plans to publicly present some of his findings next month in Colorado.
