I've been asked quite a few times what I think the best UFO books are. I've also seen a lot of people across different UFO subreddits asking what books they should read or what books people would recommend.

Some of these books and papers contradict each other, because several were written specifically to challenge or debunk the claims made in other works. I don't agree with every conclusion reached by every author, but I think they're all worth reading if you want a broad, well-rounded and rational understanding of the UFO phenomenon and its history.

Everyone in the UFO community has heard the rumor about a UFO so enormous that it was impossible to move. It has been recently popularized by Ross Coulthart.

Well, I have been doing some digging, and I think I have finally tracked down the origin of this story.

The earliest mention I have been able to find of a UFO described in these terms appears in a document published by John Lear back in 1987. You can check it out here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KKeqVOsQ0THQMZYy-u0UmyvgAsn8urD3/view?usp=drivesdk

The document says:

> "Germany may have recovered a flying saucer as early as 1939. General James H. Doolittle went to Sweden in 1946 to inspect a flying saucer that had crashed there in Spitzbergen. > > There were several more saucer crashes in the late 1940s: one in Roswell, New Mexico, one in Aztec, New Mexico, and one near Laredo, Texas, about 30 miles inside the Mexican border. > > Thousands of sightings occurred during the Korean war and several more saucers were retrieved by the Air Force. Some were stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, some were stored at Air Force bases near the location of the crash site. > > One saucer was so enormous and the logistic problems in transportation so enormous that it was buried at the crash site and remains there today."

This is the oldest reference I have been able to uncover regarding a UFO so massive that it had to be buried in place.

Where Lear got this information from is impossible to say. Personally, though, I wouldn't be surprised if he simply made the whole story up out of thin air.

Why do I say that? Because it wouldn't be the first time. After all, Lear himself openly admitted that he had circulated fake documents within the UFO community while presenting them as genuine:

> «In May 1989, Lear and Cooper were invited to appear on a tabloid television program, PM Magazine. The TV crew arrived at Lear's home to interview both Lear and Cooper. Later, Lear overheard Cooper telling the interviewer that, while he was on the Naval briefing team in Hawaii, he saw the "O.H. Krill" documents in secret files—documents that I had received from John Lear in his original package of material in early 1988. > > I knew these documents were written by one John Grace, a then-active-duty U.S. Air Force NCO with an interest in UFOs. The name "Krill" was an inside joke taken from a late 1950s case where the U.S. Navy interviewed a woman claiming to channel an alien named "Cyrll." Lear and Grace made up the initials "O.H." out of thin air. Grace didn’t want his name associated with the papers because he was still in the Air Force and wished to avoid adverse publicity. The actual O.H. Krill papers were barely over a year old at the time of the television program, making it impossible for Cooper to have seen them in 1972 or 1973. > > Lear recalled, "When I heard Bill tell the interviewer he saw the Krill papers while he was in the Navy, I motioned him over and asked, ‘What in the hell are you doing?’ He said, ‘What do you mean?’ I told him, ‘Bill, John Grace and I made up the Krill papers. We named them after a 1950s case, and we pulled the O.H. out of thin air.’ But Cooper insisted he had seen them in the Navy. That’s when I really began to wonder about Cooper."»

So, at best, this is a story that Coulthart picked up from John Lear, who in turn heard it from someone we can't identify and never will. At worst, it's a story that Coulthart picked up from John Lear, who simply made the whole thing up. Either way, it doesn't reflect particularly well on Coulthart.

Recently, I've started noticing a pattern that seems to be becoming increasingly common among younger people who move away from religion and embrace atheism.

Many young atheists don't arrive at atheism through a serious examination of philosophy and metaphysics. Instead, they simply pick up the Bible or the Quran, read them, notice that many of their stories appear to conflict with modern scientific knowledge if interpreted literally, assume that most Christians, Jews and Muslims interpret those stories literally, and then conclude that Christianity, Judaism and Islam are absurd.

As an atheist myself (as well as someone who's trying to achieve a degree in philosophy), this attitude genuinely bothers me. Not because I think people should be religious, but because I think criticism of religion should be based on a real understanding of what is being criticized rather than on simplistic assumptions and caricatures.

The history of Christianity, Judaism and Islam is full of allegorical, symbolic and non-literal interpretations of scripture. For centuries, theologians and philosophers from all three traditions have debated questions about morality, free will, consciousness, metaphysics, the nature of reality and the relationship between faith and reason. If you're going to criticize these religions seriously, that's the level on which the discussion should take place.

If you want to criticize religion, then criticize the arguments of Thomas Aquinas, Al-Kindi, Maimonides or Anselm of Canterbury. Challenge their logic, their metaphysics and their conclusions. That's where the real intellectual debate is. Arguing about whether Noah's Ark could physically fit every animal species on Earth is stupid. Serious religious thinkers moved beyond that level of discussion over a thousand years ago.

Honestly, I believe that part of the reason for this attitude is that many young atheists want to feel intellectually superior to believers. The logic is: "I don't believe these stories, therefore I'm smarter than the people who do."

But that's a childish way of looking at the issue. You can think religion is false, you can think believers are mistaken, but you can't treat religious people like idiots. Theologians and religious philosophers have spent centuries debating some of the most difficult questions imaginable. Even many committed materialists have recognized that.

And before anyone says this is an exclusively American phenomenon, I assure you it isn't. As an Italian, I can tell you that I observe the exact same thing among young people here. This superficial approach to criticizing religion is becoming increasingly common in Italy as well.

I've followed the UAP topic almost religiously since the Bob Lazar Joe Rogan episode.

Like many of you, I've consumed an absurd amount of information over the years: witness testimony, military encounters, radar data, leaked footage, government reports, whistleblowers, documentaries, podcasts, books, and countless online discussions.

At some point, there's so much information that it's actually difficult to form a clear conclusion. Every case seems to point in a different direction. Some look compelling, others fall apart under scrutiny. It's easy to get lost in the sheer volume of claims.

Over the years, I've tried to distill everything down to what I think is the most likely explanation. It's a bit disappointing compared to the popular narratives, but I think it fits the evidence best.

My conclusion is that UAPs are real, in the sense that there are genuinely unexplained objects or phenomena being detected and tracked. Since the late stages of World War II and especially throughout the Cold War, improvements in radar, sensors, satellites, and aviation technology have allowed militaries to observe things they cannot fully identify.

The key point is this: if the United States has been seeing these things and cannot explain all of them, then Russia, China, and every other technologically advanced nation has likely been dealing with the same problem.

What we have strong evidence for are sightings, pilot reports, radar tracks, infrared footage, sensor data, and government investigations. What we do not have strong evidence for are recovered alien spacecraft or successful reverse-engineering programs.

For decades, despite countless leaks and investigations, the evidence consistently points to observations of unexplained phenomena rather than confirmed extraterrestrial hardware.

The recovery and reverse-engineering narrative only really entered the mainstream through recent whistleblower claims, most notably David Grusch. That's also where I think the possibility of deliberate disinformation begins.

If governments know that some UAPs represent technology or phenomena beyond current human understanding, then every major power would desperately want to understand them first. The ultimate strategic advantage would be convincing your rivals that you've already cracked the code.

In that scenario, the bluff is incredibly valuable.

Imagine you're China and the United States is allowing stories to circulate that it possesses recovered craft and has reverse-engineered exotic technology. Even if those claims are false, China has to take them seriously. The same logic applies in reverse.

So my final verdict is this:

The phenomenon is probably real.

The mystery is probably real.

The sightings are real.

The data is real.

But the crashed saucers, recovered bodies, and secret reverse-engineering programs may be the very place where the disinformation starts. Part of this could also be the remote viewing and other psionic things that mostly came up more over the past years.

Not to hide aliens from the public—but to gain an advantage over rival nations competing to understand whatever these objects actually are.

Of course, I could be completely wrong. But after years of following this topic, this is the explanation that requires the fewest assumptions while still fitting most of the available evidence. I really wish there is recovered craft and bioligics though. I let chatgpt help my with the text, bear with me.

Hey everyone,

I’ve never really gone deep into the post-ROTJ EU. I've never read the novels and comics set during the New Republic era or during the New Jedi Order era. However, I do know the general outline of events and the broader continuity from summaries and discussions online, so I'm not completely clueless.

One thing I’ve always been curious about, though, is Naboo. I’ve always really liked Naboo as a planet, especially in the Prequel era. There’s something about its culture, architecture and overall atmosphere that really stood out to me. So I was wondering: does Naboo play any significant role after Return of the Jedi?

Thanks in advance for any response I'll get.

Honestly, I've never understood why some fans get so offended when someone says that The Clone Wars is a kid's show. To me, "kid's show" isn't an insult, and there is absolutely no reason to treat it like one.

A show being aimed primarily at kids doesn't automatically make it bad or unworthy of adult viewers. Plenty of kid's shows are genuinely excellent and have large adult fanbases. For example, I enjoy rewatching older episodes of SpongeBob and The Fairly OddParents from time to time. They're kid's shows, and they're great. The idea that something loses value simply because it was made for kids doesn't make any sense, so getting defensive about the label is entirely pointless.

Also, I've never understood why so many people try to go out of their way to prove that The Clone Wars isn't a kid's show. I mean, seriously. Whenever someone points out that it's a kid's show, there's always someone who jumps in with, "Yeah, but people get impaled with lightsabers," or "Yeah, but characters fall to their deaths," or "Yeah, but there are episodes about political intrigue and other mature themes." Okay... and? None of that actually proves anything. Children's media has included death, tragedy, war and surprisingly mature themes for decades. The fact that a show occasionally deals with heavier subjects doesn't suddenly make it an adult show.

At the end of the day, The Clone Wars aired on children's television networks, was marketed primarily toward younger audiences and was designed to be accessible to kids. That's simply what it was. Yes, there are story arcs that are darker than others. Yes, characters die. Yes, some episodes tackle more serious themes than you might expect from a typical cartoon. But those elements don't change the fact that the show's primary target audience was children and teenagers. It was a kid's show that adults could enjoy, not an adult show that happened to attract children.

Fearing the "kid's show" label only robs people of appreciating how incredible children's media can actually be. I think fans should just embrace the reality that a show doesn't need an adult rating to be good.

People on UFO and alien subreddits constantly ask the same question: if the U.S. government really recovered crashed UFOs and alien bodies, why would they cover it up? Personally, I think the answer is probably much simpler than a lot of people make it out to be.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that some UFO crashes actually happened, that the U.S. military recovered exotic technology and that they've been trying to reverse engineer it. If that's true, then there’s a very simple and pragmatic reason to keep everything secret: national security and military advantage. Alien technology could potentially lead to the creation of extremely advanced weapons and military systems, and that alone would make it one of the most strategically important things on Earth. No government would openly reveal information like that to the world.

From a purely strategic perspective, it would make perfect sense for the United States to hide the information. The last thing the U.S. military would want is for Russia or China to gain access to the technology. And if Russia or China recovered similar technology, they would almost certainly behave in exactly the same way. They would classify everything, restrict access and deny the existence of the program publicly. Any major world power would do this, because the potential military implications would simply be too important. As Stanton Friedman used to say, you can't reveal this information to your friends without also revealing it to your enemies.

I don't think you need to invoke "ontological shock," consciousness, spiritual awakening or the idea that society would collapse if people learned the truth. Governments don't need philosophical reasons to keep something secret when straightforward strategic reasons already exist. Geopolitical competition is more than enough to explain why a cover-up would happen.

Ricordo distintamente che, in un paio reaction al Reddit paperoso, Andrea aveva trovato alcuni video dei Nirkiop rcaricati sul subreddit e si era messo a guardarli, facendosi un sacco di risate. Ricordo molto bene di aver visto quelle reaction ricaricate su YouTube tempo fa, ma adesso non riesco più a trovarle. Qualcuno per caso si ricorda quali fossero o sa dove recuperarle? Sono convinto che siano ancora lì sul suo canale YouTube, da qualche parte...

Hello everyone,

I’m dealing with a really frustrating issue with Instagram and I can’t figure out what’s causing it.

On my Lenovo tablet, the app basically doesn’t work anymore. The home feed doesn’t load at all, stories don’t load, and the app just stays stuck like it’s trying to load content but never actually does. There’s no error message, it just keeps loading indefinitely.

Yesterday I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. After reinstalling, it took me almost three hours just to log back into my account, because the login screen wasn’t loading properly. When I finally managed to get in, everything worked normally for a couple of hours, so I thought the problem was fixed. Then, without any clear reason, the same issue came back. The feed stopped loading, stories disappeared, and the app became unusable again.

I also attempted to clear both the cache and the local app data to see if that would provide a clean slate. Unfortunately, it backfired. Now I'm stuck on the login screen again and can't even get back into my account, because the app fails to load during the sign in process.

What makes this even more confusing is that, on my phone, everything works perfectly. Both devices are Android, so it’s not like I’m switching between different systems. Same account, same network, but completely different behavior.

At this point, I’m starting to think it’s something specific to the tablet, maybe some kind of compatibility issue or system-level bug, but I’m not sure. Reinstalling and clearing data didn’t fix it, and now I’m locked out on that device.

Has anyone else run into this kind of issue where Instagram works fine on one Android device but not another? If so, did you manage to fix it or at least figure out what was causing it?

Thanks in advance to anyone who will reply.
