New UAP drop: “Cold orbs” filmed from an AC-130J over the Gulf of Oman (2021)

30 seconds of infrared footage taken on September 8, 2021 over the Gulf of Oman. It was recorded by U.S. Special Operations Forces aboard an AC-130J Gunship.

Important caveat from the official description: this is a secondary capture — someone filmed the infrared sensor display with a cellphone. It’s not the original primary sensor data, so the quality is limited and you can expect the usual screen-recording artifacts (blurring, flickering, etc.).

The footage is part of a set of six contemporaneous clips (PR117 through PR122). An accompanying Intelligence Information Report (DOW-UAP-D101) describes the objects as “cold orbs” approximately four feet in diameter.

Official video description:

>

The case is still listed as unresolved.

Acquired multiple bankers boxes of personal research tapes/VHS from UFO author Terry Hansen. What to do?

Hey r/UFOs. I recently picked up a large collection of home-recorded VHS and cassette audio tapes belonging to the researcher/author Terry Hansen (The Missing Times). It includes handwritten labels and (O believe) interviews, and off-air footage. Some audio cassettes are recorded at field-recorder speeds (playing back at high pitch).

Includes Art Bell/Bob Lazar tapes, plus other master recordings.

I don't have space for all this stuff so I need advice on what to do.

Should I pass them on to a preservationist, archivist, or dedicated collector who will digitize and protect them? Please reach out via DM if this is of interest.

Five discs and a silver cigar craft above the trees, then a visitor appears – Sapporo, Japan, 1977

​

Been looking at the Sapporo case from 1977. Starts as a sighting of a big craft and then turns into contact with actual beings.

On 7 June around 3pm a twenty-year-old (N / Nakano) was waiting for a UFO programme. He hears rustling, goes outside, and says he sees a huge silver-white cigar-shaped object hovering right at the tops of the trees by his house (trees about 20m high). It had eight round windows along the side, three of them smaller, and a bluish-white glow. It was rotating while moving slowly left. His friend K drew it. Then five discs came out silently from both sides and flew off. The cigar tilted and climbed into the cloud. Kids were looking up underneath it. Later he said branches were torn off.

He’d already reported other craft: a cigar over Mount Eniwa in 1975 and a triangle near his house in 1976 that supposedly followed a Self-Defense Forces helicopter.

On 18 June in a café a metallic voice in his ear introduced itself as Philcon from Mars and promised a sighting around an observing event on the 24th. He later said he saw a man disappear near Kita-24-jō station and identified him as Ramyū. From his description K drew a human-looking visitor with long hair, a suit and a tie. The facial portrait is dated 9 October 1977. Ramyū supposedly gave him a round metal object that glowed orange then turned ordinary silver. There’s a photo of the ring next to a cigarette pack. The specific gravity numbers jumped around (December said about 4.5, January corrected to 2.58, later 2.67 close to aluminium).

After that the contacts get more detailed. On 4 August around 3pm Ramyū came to his room after a phone call, borrowed paper and a ballpoint pen, drew the interior of a craft and explained its systems, then left by the door and went downstairs. N said he added the writing to one drawing himself. The pen was left twisted. The cabin drawing shows screens for the past and future, an aura display, extrasensory controls, a laser weapon and a protective force field.

On 16 August at 00:30 he boarded a new craft about 10m long, cream-coloured, on four legs with steps at the hatch. Inside was a rounded cabin with panels and screens and several figures. K drew a moss-green tentacled figure called Kim, two metres tall, floating above the floor (sketch says about 10cm, the text says 10 metres). The published account places Ramyū and two other beings aboard. Some drawings said Jupiter, captions changed it to Mars. He looked out at Sapporo’s lights and landscape, came back after a few minutes, descended the steps and said goodbye. A friend later reported flattened grass at the site, but nothing was properly checked.

There were also café meetings with Ramyū over lemon drinks. The visitor warned that harmful human thoughts threatened the solar system. Rescue was linked to developing psychic abilities and changing human behaviour. Later claims included an encounter on 10 October with a woman considered extraterrestrial, and a passing meeting with Ramyū at Ōdōri station the next day.

The Oumiya archive has the sixteen images (drawings of the craft, the visitors, the bases) from UFO to Uchū issues 29–31 and a 1978 book. They show a lot of the craft interiors, the figures, and the journeys N described. What they don’t give is anyone else confirming the beings, the origin of the ring, or that the trips actually happened. No hoax confession either

Immaculate Constellation - Matthew Brown “We live in a carefully constructed reality…” “God is real.” What are your thoughts on Brown?

Immaculate Constellation - Matthew Brown “We live in a carefully constructed reality… God is real.”

How does this impact the UAP story? Does it make it more digestible? How does it affect us? Which God? Should we be “good.” I’m not sure what that means. NHI and us are all of one consciousness? Super. Then what? Why was there no follow-up on such a big statement? Looking right at you Corbell and Knapp. Why is this statement so problematic? Wouldn’t this be a good thing? A creator. A supreme consciousness. What are your thoughts on Brown?

Thoughts in general? What is your UFO current rabbit hole?

Podesta acknowledges UFO call with Tom DeLonge, Neil McCasland; contests version of events Grusch provided to Joe Rogan

I emailed John Podesta to get his response to David Grusch's new claim on Joe Rogan that Neil McCasland, Rob Weiss and others only advised Tom DeLonge about UFOs and aliens because John Podesta "greenlit" an effort to acclimatize society to the truth about UFOs ahead of the 2016 election.

Podesta wrote back:

"That is probably not how I would characterize our interaction. As you know, I discussed launching a UAP declassification initiative with Secretary Clinton if she won the election. In several interviews in 2016, she acknowledged that and committed to launching such an initiative if she had been successful. My recollection is that Tom arranged a conference call with the individuals you mentioned and we discussed amongst other things, declassifying DOD files and reducing the stigma of professionals taking UAP’s seriously. I have always maintained that the American people could handle the truth about UAP’s and didn’t really need to be 'acclimated.' Hope that’s helpful."

The NASA STS-80 "Smoking Gun" footage.

This is what they've hidden from the public for over 90 years.

This is the NASA STS-80 Smoking Gun footage.

Martyn Stubbs, was a satellite television manager in Vancouver, Canada who had access to the NASA downlink. He recorded over 2500 hours of footage from various missions after noticing strange anomalies during their early live streams.

What you're seeing is the Space Shuttle Columbia on-board camera in geostationary orbit above Earth.

After adjusting to sunstrike the on-board camera observes an object descending from Outer Space, through the upper atmosphere before landing/hovering near a electrical storm in geosynchronous orbit.

The objects are estimated to be miles wide, similar to the Motherships from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, V and Independence Day and moving much faster than the SR-71 Blackbird or any other aircraft made by man.

This phenomena is best explained by the ancient Hindu scriptures and philosophies which describe in detail 12 higher and lower realms containing Worlds within Worlds (dimensions/realities/multiverses) and are filled with a myriad of intelligent species and flying craft known as Vimana. They range in size from a door mat/rug to entire city/citadel size Motherships.

A quote from the Ramayana:

"At one moment the magic airship built by Maya Danava appeared in many identical forms, and the next moment it was again only one. Sometimes it was visible, and sometimes not."

"From one moment to the next the Saubha airship appeared on the earth, in the sky, on a mountain peak or in the water. Like a whirling, flaming baton."

The Truth Is Out There.

Jake Barber Military Service not adding up

Preface: I’m in the Army and work closesly with the Air Force. This guy’s service history does not add up and my conclusion is this guy failed the pipeline for CCT and became a mechanic. (This happens in all branches who use a SOF pipeline as a bait and switch for people to end up in jobs no one wants)

Let’s start with the crazy part. He was approached to be an “special” mechanic. That’s sus af. No one who has passed the pipeline initial phase and was doing well would drop that to be a mechanic. The CCT pipeline is 2-3 years. Tier 1 units always see action, and they were def not sitting on their bums in the 90’s. Even in a peacetime pipeline, you would never hear a recruit who passe the hardest physical phase to just drop out. Being a CCT is the cream of the crop for what an enlisted airman can get. Full stop. But it gets worse.

He was somehow playing OPFOR. Now here’s where it gets tricky if you don’t know military. Pretty much all of the Air Force’s OPFOR is driven by pilots and the squadron staff and some intel dorkies. Very officer heavy. The enlisted in the Air Force almost never touch tactics unless they are on staff, or CCT’s and JTAC’s. Maybe some who are security forces. But he never claimed to be any of them. No one in the air force is going to let anyone enlisted make tactical and exploitative decisions like that. The Army and Marines? Sure. But not the Air Force. Especially not a mechanic who’s whole job is to fix and load the aircraft. More than likely he was assigned to an OPFOR aviation unit where he fixed the aircraft of the OPFOR pilots. This dude is def not playing 4D chess in an exercise.

Last but not least. He claims he escorted HVT’s. This is done by security forces. Why the f*** would the men in black make his “cover” a mechanic when he could be a security forces guy who actually escorted HVT’s . By the way, there are plenty of stories of SecFor being assigned to prestigious and high security billets where they had to zip their mouths shut. We saw it a little bit with Mario Woods who seems wayyy more credible.

This guy just screams sus. If you’re in the military you know these types who get kicked out or fail and act like they were navy seals. At best, he was an aircraft mechanic who failed the CCT pipeline and saw some egg craft being transported around the flightline at night.

Am I the only one that thinks UFOs would not have lights?

I have always thought about this. A UFO with that kind of flying or traveling technology would not need lights as we know them here on earth right? They would most likely have higher radar technology and communication that would not need lights. Like what would be the purpose of lights out in the cosmos? Also if they were “spying” or simply exploring our planet wouldn’t they want to be stealthy? Not sure if I’m the only one or if this is allowed on the sub so please remove if needed. Thank you.

Too many folks have an unnecessarily inflated sense of how aliens might think and the reason they're doing what they do. Crash retrievals could be Alien DUI's sometimes. Recovered bodies could be Alien Tourists. Alien "race wars" could just be a couple smugglers with territory beef.

It seems that there's so many camps of thought that nobody tries to think simply about why aliens might do what they do.

Too many people think they're Angelic Smart, or Beyond Understandable, or like on the Starship Enterprise and everything they do must have a logical and higher intelligence explanation.

For me, I see no reason not to assume they're like us, just a little more technologically advanced. Now maybe some of them are Unknowable or Woo Plasmoid 5th Dimensional beings, but the craft and bodies? They could be like anyone crashing on i95 in the USA.

Abductions, if they're real, don't need to be a scientific hybrid engineering program, it could just be Human Trafficking by assholes who make money/influence/power by doing it in the alien socio-political spectrum.

Crashes (or the alleged "donated" vehicles) could be anything from a breakdown and the occupants are picked up by another ship, to Drunk/high aliens on a joy ride that mess up at the controls and crash.

Alien craft sightings could be like Alien Whale Watchers, where some "boat" pilots are more unscrupulous and get too close/mess with humans because they either don't care or they're chartered by alien rich folks who tell them to get closer.

And the somehow controversial Greys v Reptilians that Grusch just talked about could be any kind of skirmish. Two drunks fighting. Two groups of scientists who wanted a contract and the other ship messed it up for them. Could be that they are both some kind of alien drug runners and are beefing.

But everything people say aliens are doing, doesn't have to be scientists or military or some high level 200IQ reason we cannot understand. They could be doing super normal shit that none of us would think twice about if they heard people doing it, but their tech just looks crazier so we assume it's some enigmatic, unknowable, super intelligent reason for it.

I tend to view most stories about UFOs and aliens by assuming what is happening is understandable and relatable, just like how we understand and relate to animals like cats and dogs and whales and monkeys, even though they're not a lot like us, because sentience has some things like emotions, play, mental illness, physical illness, and rogue assholes that make a lot of actions make sense even if they physiologically or socially resemble us.

TLDR: America has 0 maglev speed trains, and if you heard and saw pictures of a crashed maglev speed train in China, you wouldn't think the passengers were military, scientists, or that the people who made that tech were incredibly different than Americans. So, why don't you look at UFO stories that way?

A CIA inspector general’s report records a shootdown in Peru on 23 March 1997, which occurred around the time former Marine Jonathan Weygandt claims he encountered a retrieved UFO while deployed to Peru for Operation Laser Strike

A CIA inspector general’s report records several shootdowns under the U.S.-supported Airbridge Denial Program in Peru, including one on 23 March 1997, around the time former Marine Jonathan Weygandt claims he encountered a retrieved UFO while deployed to Peru.

The original source can be read here:

Around the time former Marine Jonathan Weygandt claims he encountered a retrieved UFO while deployed to Peru, for Operation Laser Strike

Jonathan's testimony can be watched here:

Full Interview - Lance Corporal Jonathan Weygandt (1997)

A bit of background to Jonathan's testimony:

Jonathan was deployed to Peru and part of "Operation Laser Strike" in 1997, while on a recovery mission of what was thought of as a friendly aircraft crash, they came upon an unusual teardrop shaped craft, not of this world, wedged in rocks, apparently damaged by a H.A.W.K. missile, and there were some beings involved. Armed men in black camouflage (with no insignia) showed up and aggressively took over the scene. He was shackled, taken away told not to speak about what he witnessed.

Public is not ready.

After recent Grusch interview, I saw lots of people saying that was final nail in the coffin on this topic and etc.

People making fun on topics about different alien races, crafts, gorilla reptilian and alpha dogs.

However I couldn't understand why people not seeing "full" picture.

3 years ago, we was talking only about phenomena, thinking it's only one alien race.

Now we are normalising multiple alien races, their crafts and agenda, underwater bases and alien conflicts.

If it's real - it's mind blowing and really changes scopes on understanding everything we use to believe before.

I think we need to remain open minded - reality can be really crazy than we think.

Underwater UFO Bases: Grusch seems to have an evidence trail for this one

Hey everyone:

First off I agree with the sentiment that we need evidence as the public before we can fully believe Grusch’s claims, despite his qualifications. But we CANNOT ignore the 2 (public, I’d wager there are more than 2 total) interrogatories that were sent out of Eric Burlisons office before the summer. One was sent to MIT Lincoln labs, the other was sent to MITRE.

If you read the letters, Grusch knew the SPECIFIC FILE that was eventually declassified by MIT Lincoln Labs after over 70s years. However the MITRE interrogatory (which if real, as UAP Gerb has discussed, is likely monitoring the underwater “base” in the Atlantic Ocean) has been ignored by MITRE. MITRE has the evidence that we all want at least for this specific section, and Grusch very publicly requested it though Burlison.

In my first livestream, I go over some of the hot topics from the Grusch interview, but also break down the specific narrative that has been forming for the last few years: the underwater base theory. This of course intertwines with the 4chan whistleblower, but also things like the supposed “New Jersey drone flap” (which has been going on for longer than that, I think we need to pay special attention to the Langley AFB incident where “drones” flew over a top base unimpeded for 17 straight days in 2023).

Not take everything word for word, but at least look into the narrative that’s been building through whistleblower testimony, document trails, mass sightings, anonymous posts and more.

Did (self-identifying) ex-CIA Karl Pflock break into a sitting US Congressman’s office and take a file? This should be easy to prove since it’s on camera, right?

Jesse says a source reached out during production and told them that, after Ramsey sent a package of his Aztec evidence to a US Congressman investigating the case, Karl Pflock allegedly broke into the Congressman’s office. Pflock was captured on the office’s security cameras, and the only thing he allegedly took was the package containing Ramsey’s Aztec evidence.

Why do we not “have a smoking gun here?”

Those are some huge allegations of both a major crime and specific evidence.

In response to David Grusch’s Statements on Sentient Plasmoid Life, Robert Hastings provides an encounter where witness describes plasma-like orbs that appeared to possess consciousness, which telepathically communicated with them

Source: UFOHastings.com

David Grusch’s Statement on Sentient Plasmoid Life

During the June 9, 2026 UAP/NHI press conference on Capitol Hill, former US Air Force officer and intelligence official David Grusch made a remarkable statement regarding the US government’s secret acknowledgment of the existence of sentient non-human entities.

When a reporter asked how many alien types have been identified, Grusch said matter-of-factly: “I don’t have the compendium [that I can present to you today, however,] it’s a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to what I would consider sentient plasmoid life. But there are several [species] that the US government is aware of.”

A "plasma-orb" case described by Robert Hastings:

>It was sometime in the Fall of 1992, but I didn’t record the exact date; as with many other strange things in my life, it didn’t seem that important.

>In that instant, literally instantaneously, I was back at the passenger door of the car, staring at what I can only describe as an undulating orb in my neighbor’s front yard, no more than 30 feet away! It was hovering directly at my eye-level, completely still, about the size of a cantaloupe. It was a fiery reddish-orange, flickering and seemingly breathing. I’ve used the word “undulating” as it’s the only word I can find to describe it. It was like it was alive! I have oftentimes explained it as appearing how molten lava looks when you see it on TV.

>As soon as I realized what I was looking at, I immediately heard a voice in my head say, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.” I was astonished! I wasn’t afraid at all, just fascinated by what I was seeing. I immediately thought—or maybe the orb put this thought in my mind—to look at it really hard to see if there was a structure beneath the flames.

>All I remember at this point was my simply staring right into it. It was like the orb and I were inside a clear bubble, protected from the outside world. It was strange, there was absolutely zero sound. No neighbors were outside, no kids playing, no cars in the distance on the highway, no birds, bugs, nothing. Total and complete silence. My neighborhood was there in the background, but it was hard to see, like it was muted, darkened, outside the bubble.

>I had no awareness of the passage of time. I had no further telepathic messages from the orb. I was just transfixed and staring into it. The next thing I remember, I heard the front door open; my husband was coming out. The orb instantaneously took off between the houses in a westerly direction and went completely out of sight in a split second.

>I stood there and pondered what I had just experienced. I thought to myself: How am I going to explain this to my husband? But I don’t recall acknowledging him when he came to the car. Again, I had no sense of time, or how long it took for him to come out. I don’t remember getting into the car. The next thing I do remember was already being in the car, staring at the glove compartment as we drove down the street. It was dark by then.

>I eventually did tell my husband the story, but he didn’t react. He just listened, and didn’t ridicule me, or question me. It was so strange.
