"Under the published terms, at least two of three organisations , NASA, the National Science Foundation and the American Astronomical Society must affirm by 31 December 2030 that extraterrestrial intelligence has been discovered, including through an extraterrestrial technological object or alien biological life found on Earth."

I'll take that bet. What odds are you offering Shermernator?

At this point Half Life 3 will come before aliens.

The OP Ed that was promised when the interview with Elizabeth Vargas happened (which oddly is a bit hard to find outside of Reddit), it was claimed that an opinion piece was being published in the coming weeks.

Whatever the hell happened to it? I wonder?

And secondly, what the hell was it about?

Lastly, is the film out yet or was that wAge of Di$©losu®€?

*Paranormal investigator Malcolm Robinson has been campaigning for “greater transparency” on the topic for years, recently pointing to a tranche of files released in the US.

But in response to a letter to now-former prime minister Keir Starmer, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said: “In over 50 years, no sighting reported to the department has indicated the existence of any military threat to the UK and it is deemed more valuable to prioritise MoD staff towards other defence-related activities.*

This fella has been kicking the tree of truth for years. He's been in just about every paper and has beliefs across the whole spectrum. The good thing is though, he doesn't mix his beans with his eggs and keeps aliens as aliens, and ghosts as ghosts. His books go woo, but they don't go woo-who?

Yet his response from the MOD does raise a good point. With so much surveillance and tomfuckery from both allies and adversaries (as in drones/UAPs and "UFOs"), perhaps the military should be focussing their attentions on threats. The UK isn't the US and hardly needs the distraction from credible threats.

Because UFOs and aliens are a fantastic cover story and distraction from the very real-world threat of adversarial surveillance and domestic terrorism. In fact, a beautifully perfect cover story.

“We would however like to reassure you that the UK air defence community continuously monitors UK airspace to maintain a complete ‘recognised air picture’ as part of the national security posture and our commitment to the integrity of NATO airspace, allowing us to deter, track and react if necessary to any credible threats to the UK and its civilians."

Which basically boils down to "Get fucked four-eyes! We have enough real shit to do with all that our sensors do recognise".

An excerpt:

"The reference, drawn from Star Trek, gives the argument a memorable edge. In Bigelow's interpretation, humanity may not be viewed as an emerging civilisation ready for contact, but as an unpredictable species whose technological progress has outpaced its judgement.

It is a highly speculative theory, but it speaks to the uneasy contradiction at the centre of the disclosure debate. Humans want evidence that they are not alone, while Bigelow argues humanity may be giving any hypothetical outside intelligence reasons to keep its distance."

I don't know about you, but I always thought of myself as a bit of a Vulcan myself.

Honestly, I could see him getting time with him. Some early reports said it was on Air Force One, some said in the White House. Maybe it was both. He's a mega/maga-donor, so, I guess he's gotta have his time to chew the fat.

And that's where this all gets murkier. He's a mega donor. He claims he is writing or written a speech for someone who pretty much says what he says off the cuff and goes off script willy-nilly. But, Greernipple also claimed last year (apparently when Bim Bam Bigelow made the speech claim) that he was in fact writing a speech for him to disclose UFOs to the nation.

Fairly certain he also claimed on his podcast he has previously been called into brief or read him in in his first term.

Any venture, I'm sure it will all be forgotten next week and that it will amount to the square root of fuck all.

I think we can all see where this is all leading to and the true motive for these releases.

Tranched beef. Basically, sliced beef. Which comes from the bull... Which, shit, comes from.

Bull-shit.

Tranche 5.

Washington — The Pentagon on Friday released a new batch of documents and images related to UFOs, also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAP, including a military pilot's recollection of a huge, strange triangle that blocked out the stars over Afghanistan in 2002.

The 41 new files, posted on the Pentagon's UFO website, include a mix of documents, images and videos. The records come from the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, State Department and Executive Office of the President, with the oldest being from 1950 and the most recent being from this year. 

The disclosure is the fifth release under an executive order President Trump signed in January directing the military and other agencies to produce more documents related to UFOs.

What's in the new UFO files?

The bulk of Friday's release includes the type of grainy videos that have been the hallmark of past disclosures, showing flying objects captured by military sensors and cameras.

Six of the videos show different versions of the same incident — an encounter over the Gulf of Oman by Special Operations forces on an AC-130J gunship in September 2021. The clips are cellphone videos of screens on the gunship, showing objects picked up by its infrared and other sensors. 

objects when they traveled a distance out of view. Total observation time was approximately 5 - 10 minutes."

Friday's release includes eight 302 forms, which the FBI uses to record the details of witness interviews. All eight include redactions to shield confidential information, and most are paired with artist renderings from the bureau showing the objects that the witnesses described. Others were released along video footage that the interviewees captured, showing what appear to be orbs and other light sources in the sky. 

One noteworthy 302 report records an interview with a former military pilot in 2024. The pilot told an agent that military pilots began seeing strange lights in the sky between midnight and 3 a.m. the year before. The pilot said he first saw the lights during a flight from Massachusetts to Ireland in October 2023.

Think we can all mostly agree, it's just more bullshit on top of more bullshit.

"A drone equipped with an ignition system was discovered near a parked Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig-Halle Airport on the night of Tuesday 04AUG August and was neutralized by security forces. In addition, that same night, a DHL cargo plane collided with an unidentified flying object shortly after takeoff. All flight operations were suspended for hours."

Fairly certain there'll be those who irk "What does this have to do with UFOs?", and complain that there is no accompanying grainy footage of a drone/UAP.

But a brief look over the past two years on these here parts have shown this hybrid warfare of using UAP/drone tech is pretty much standard practice now.

it's odd that you don't see the UAP/UFO airport flap much any more. It is almost as if, it was originally blamed on UFOs, in some weird hybrid attack on planes and online. An odd botfarm campaign to offset public perception of hybrid warfare, and, basically troll anyone who suggests as much.

These types of attacks are now commonplace. And if you look over the history of airport UFOs on here. There is an equal measure of realists and seeming fantasists. What is odd though his the amount of accounts you can see that have since been deleted.

Anyhow. This practice seems more commonplace now and by the looks of things, a lot more dangerous to boot.

Like always, if anyone wants to archive.ph this. You'd be doing the lord's work as this site has crabs. 🙏🏻🙌🏻

Shit doesn't just happen in the United States, it happens in England too... Whoever said UFOs/aliens was just a stateside phenomenon?

But, who to believe, who, to, believe? A genuine bonafide mystery to get ones teeth into. Last week we had the Space-X methane fart cloud in the upper atmosphere UFO, this week, we have this.

An airplane pilot, with x amount of years of flight experience in one corner (claims, UFO).

Or, in the other corner, passenger(s), who claim it to be a drone.

Both very different connotations given the current topics of discussion and diametric opposites considering the article.

Sure, there are those who can say "They can be both in of the same, and UFO doesn't mean aliens...", and stroke that very famous cat while shaving said cat in a box with a very famous razor.

Yet we are in a very special time. A time when disclosure is just around the corner and finally have politicians ready to do the right thing and ensure we are ready by enlisting Dr. Phil to assess the psychological effects of such a disclosure.

(Forgive me for not posting whole article, but, if someone so wishes to save us from the lurgy of Yahoo, please feel free to archive.ph it.)

I have seen pretty much all sci-fi I can think of. It's a genre that I think most of us can agree pushes the boundaries of human imagination and drives discourse to prosperous new futures.

Space sci-fi in particular is still, I would say, rather fringe(ISH). It has had days in the forefront in the 2000s and we've had smatterings of popularity therein. Yet, I don't know if it has had widespread intrigue as much as say, the superhero genre, or slasher/psycho horror for example.

I still feel it is a genre that has the most legs moving forward. There's some beautifully crafted films that focus on space, and while the 40s essentially power-bombed the genre upon audiences, I do wonder if there will be a full-on golden era.

All that said. I'm wondering if there are any gems out there I may have missed. So wondering what your favourites are.

I think mine would be Aniara? Quite a few years back now and there's been an influx of stuff since. Spaceman was entertaining for an indie (though Netflix), and Sunshine by Danny Boyle is an obvious standout.

Popped up in my radar today and gave it a wee watch. It's actually 100x better than anything that James Fox has done, beats Wage of Disclosure by a country mile, and it's actually filmed really well. Very Welsh, very dry, yet with a fantastic poetry to it. My word, has the topic needed something like this.

Not one for posting these types of films, but, everyone has to do their bit for Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The fellas are far more likeable and real than any of the hacks we see in the constant barrage of bullshit, and you can genuinely see their passion and love for what they're doing. It ain't some failed influencer in make-up trying give all the boys a chubby on chatting absolute shite they've read elsewhere. Ain't some simpy hack with shady agendas for pushing content after content after content after content. And it ain't a AI script churner, trying to brainwash you into believing what he wants you to believe so he can later feed you a patreon subscription...

It's just two middle-aged nobodies, chugging along, not taking themselves too seriously.

Everyone loves a little bit of independent filmmaking and if you don't, then you should. Because it's little gems like this that blot out and make you realise why we love the topic for what it once was.

...And who says UFOs just haunt America?

Since L.K published her now 10 year old article in the NYT, I, like many of you, have seen so many pretenders to the throne, so many stooges, wannabe influencers, alt-accounts, YT channels, and "personalities" swarm upon the topic.

Like a lot of regular posters on here, I've been lingering for beards, and in that time, I have lost count of the variety and flavour of people who carousel the topic.

For me, I think it was J.B and the attempt to rebrand S.G's remote viewing (which is a rebrand again) and Mish mash of Skin walker, into the long forgotten SkyWatcher episode.

It felt like the fella came out of nowhere, crash-landed, got a deal with NN and the floppy Aussie (R.C), tried to hit with his dog whistle, lasted two episodes, and now, it's like he's disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Anyroad, organic discussion and independent thought is where it is at right now, and I'm sure there is far more. But who else seemed to drop anchor, blow their load(s), and then fuck off quicker than they came?

Trying to prompt Omni to animate from A/B a planet. It isn't earth, but resembles it. No matter what prompt I try, and tell it not to, it's brain melts and it turns into a numpty.

Has anyone had anything similar?

I think perhaps the words planet and NOT earth might be throwing it. I've gambled 100 credits on it insofar and am looking for suggestions.

I was thinking of exoplanet? Or alien world?

I won't try it in other models because they're all equally sketchy and Banana won't replicate the results, so it is definitely Omni's issue.

We know they're there. We know the players, we've seen the YouTube videos.

Some are worse than others for concocting absolute make-believe and horse. They have their motives, I'm sure they sleep well at night.

Whoever you are, whatever your flavour of disclosure, whatever, there will be prime bullshitters within your field of belief.

For me:

1. The "V" kid.

2. Greer.

3. Rogan.

These are the words of a man who claims he was left “buzzing” after witnessing a UFO over the Lincolnshire coast. Paul Rawlinson is speaking out about his sighting after almost 20 years of ridicule and scepticism from those he shared his story with.

The now 46 year-old says he was on holiday with family in Mablethorpe in the summer of 2009 when he caught sight of a fast-moving ‘black triangle’ coming across the sea at incredibly high speed.

Staying at a seafront caravan park in the resort, Paul’s encounter with the strange object came about by sheer chance. “After a day out on the beach on the Saturday, we all went and stayed in the caravan watching TV,” he explains. “Me and my wife were in one room and my family in the others. We heard arguing on the site, so I went to look out of the window, but couldn’t see what was going on.” Paul, who was visiting the resort from Rochester, said the immediate view was of the neighbouring caravan, which faced the beachfront. It was while scanning the area for the source of the disturbance, that something else caught his eye.

“I was looking up to the sky as it was really clear, and I saw a couple of shooting stars,” he recalls. “All of a sudden this triangle-shaped aircraft went over me so fast. I called my wife come to the window, but it was so quick that within seconds it was gone. The sky behind it went from clear to cloudy, and there was no sound at all. It must of been going thousands of miles an hour.” Paul described the object as “twice the size of a fighter jet” – with with a light at each corner of the triangle. "I was buzzing at how lucky I was to see it,” he adds - but the sentiment was not shared by his family. “I ran into the other rooms and told my brothers I’d just seen a UFO and they all took the p*** out of me, laughing,” he recalls. “We went home that Sunday evening, still with eight of my family laughing.” Acknowledging the long-standing stigma around the UFO subject, he added: “I’m not bothered about that, I know what I saw, so I didn’t care if people believed it or not.” Paul’s sighting certainly wasn’t the only one in Lincolnshire that year – with reports of UFOs – or UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) as they are now called - being spotted over Conisholme wind farm near Louth the night before one of the turbine’s was damaged. Despite the official account stating the turbine was damaged by a faulty bolt, dozens of residents reported seeing unusual things in the skies – including glowing orbs and UAP described as ‘tentacled’. “Whilst trying to find more info on what I’d seen, I read that a wind turbine’s blade had been sheared off," adds Paul. “There was no debris to indicate what could of hit it, but those stories prove that something was out there.” Indeed, 2009 was the year that UK’s leading UFO expert, Nick Pope, told the Louth Leader that Lincolnshire was a ‘hotspot’ for such activity.

In the years that followed, Paul began to research the topic and was reassured by the knowledge he was not alone in this particular sighting – with thousands of others across the globe reporting strange black triangles in the sky. "What I saw has been seen by many in the world,” he said. While some in the field believe ‘black triangles’ are secret military aircraft, others say their flight characteristics and rapid acceleration point to a technological capability beyond the realms of known physics. With more recent developments in the field, such as the US congressional hearings on UAP since 2023, and Trump releasing Department of War images and footage of strange objects in the sky this year, the topic has never been hotter or less taboo than it is now.

Now, I'm a fairly level-headed kind of chap, and won't pander to people putting feathers in their arse and calling themselves a chicken. Been on these here subs for quite a long time and remember when there were less than 50,000 on here.

That said, I love a good sighting, and have a staunch respect for those who do their own thing and don't bs their account.

I'm 99% sure P-Law hangs about these here UFO subs and has recanted the story of this exact sighting.

Come on Paul! Rear your bearded head and give us the all the cheese sir! I know you're there.

Off that bat, this administration has more important things that they should be addressing. Gas prices, cost of living, Iran, ICE overstep, Trumpstein Files to name a few. But instead, this symbolic gesture only serves the purpose(s) of a minority of people who are obviously trying to profit/gain from this whole charade.

"Pursue" (ha! Purse), is essentially a sham overhang, again, to try and make it look like he is doing something ahead of the mid-terms. We don't forget that he ran on the promise of full disclosure. Two weeks after he won, his press secretary basically said they looked into "the files", and said there was nothing in them. It was quickly brushed under the rug. Now they trot this out when they need "good press".

All of a sudden though, there's a subsection of the GOV. website, branded like one of their emails begging for money, with age old grainy videos, with context written in the style of one of the orange sex offender's tweets. Miraculous U-turn.

And now, a "government higher upper" has said he has declared that agencies should waive their prior NDAs for prior employees.

A largely symbolic show, this literally opens the topic up to anyone to come forward and claim whatever it is they want to claim. It doesn't actually declassify anything, it doesn't disclose anything. If said people had anything to disclose, they'd simply disclose it and not have to go to AARO or anyone to "blow his whistle".

AARO has previously said there were nothing to substantially prove aliens exist, there was no craft and most stories were stories. To the ire of many folk who claimed otherwise.

This NDA waiver, simply just opens it up for any plant pot to come forward and rehash old claims. It serves the purpose of allowing more people to plug more hearsay without hard evidence.

This "NDA waiver process" isn't anything about alien disclosure, but is a political tool that feeds conspiracy narratives without changing the underlying realities. Unexplained sightings are mundane sensor errors, advanced military tech, or foreign surveillance and are yet to be proven to be off-world phenomena. Removing NDAs will largely generate a new wave of unverifiable and unfalsifiable stories while changing very little in the way of the hard, verifiable data.

This is someone's order to breathe a bit of life back into the subject and I wouldn't mind betting someone somewhere has a "drop" coming. Some previous "whistleblowers" can now republish old claims while new "whistleblowers" can come forward and tells us more stories of what their mates told them around the water fountain.

Fully expecting more bullshittery coming down the pipe. Let's see in two weeks. Bottom line, if the administration had any hard evidence or hints of hard evidence, they could release it with their "tranche" or the golden nonce could write about it in a tweet. They wouldn't have to handwaive NDA's to get people to come forward.

So fully expect some crackpot to appear on Fox or NN, blow their load with some unverified claims, and thank DjT for his service to PURSUE and Disclosure and to the American people. All before the mid-terms.
