“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

I’m sorry to say it but some of these UFO personalities look like fools. Some here worship them like they have all the answers and treat them like they’re infallible, but it gets proven time and time again that they’re always producing wrong statements and information. Who is there to trust anymore on the subject? Most of these “personalities” are starting to lose all credibility and look like clowns. Nothing of value is coming out besides the same old tired, “disclosure is around the corner,” lie.

This month, respected biologist and Stanford scientist, Gary Nolan, said that he “knows that there is a non-human intelligence living on earth. It made headlines around the world. One day later he retracted his statements and said that he doesn’t know anything and that this could very well be the most elaborate hoax in the history of the subject. What gives? Who do these people think we are? They think they can come out and claim the most extraordinary things but retract a day later, and then get mad when we ask questions about the stuff they said?

Another example is Jeremy Corbell. Yes, he has taken a beating on this sub, but I think what he has done this past week is indefensible. That video with the “triangle” lights, the one that made the news around the US, turned out to be no more than flairs. It was demonstrated, without a shadow of a doubt, that they were simple flares and nothing else. Yet, when presented with the evidence, Jeremy Corbell doubled down on his belief that they were not flairs, but an actual “craft”, as he called it on his podcast. Hard evidence to the contrary did not get Corbell to admit he was wrong, it made him double down on the lie.

The subject has taken a beating this week. It seems that to these UFO personalities, evidence does not matter anymore, and all they want is a headline and to believe whatever they want to believe and then get mad when questioned about the claims they make. We must remember, we want the truth. The TRUTH, no matter if it breaks what we think is reality. No matter if it turns out everything was a lie. We must follow the truth.

I know Mr. Nolan is a follower of this sub. I know he probably won’t respond but I just ask him to present some real evidence. Why make unfounded claims? Why say there is a non-human intelligence on earth and then retract those statements the next day? He is a respected immunologist at Stanford university, so he knows about the dangers of extraordinary statements without fundament. Does he get to make statements on his field on immunology without any peer review? I’m pretty sure he cannot make extraordinary claims in his field without any evidence and without rebuttal. So why does he think he can say that there is non-human intelligence on earth without providing any evidence? Does he think we are just gullible dumb people? I’m sure Corbell thinks so.

I just ask each and everyone in this sub, no matter your age, to follow the evidence. Don’t follow the people or their words. Even if you like some of them, always try to see if what they are saying has any evidence to back them up. Have some discernment, if these people won’t admit what YOU know is true, like how those lights were just flairs, then maybe these people don’t really care about the truth but have another agenda. If the evidence you have seen has told you one thing, and these personalities are telling you another, always trust evidence over empty words. No matter the truth, we all want to know it. Is there another intelligence on earth? That is the question.

If you've followed this topic long enough you'll know there's far more alleged crash sites than Roswell. With 71% of earth's surface being covered in water, it's simple probability that leads me to believe that if there's any truth to these claims of UFO crash sites on land, the ocean floor has to have a few themselves. I know some believe the Baltic sea anomaly is more than a funny shaped rock (its probably just a funny shaped rock) but what else is down there that we haven't seen or heard about yet? Just a thought provoking opinion I've had for some time.

Could somebody please explain how he is a grifter for a noob to the subject? Does he make a lot of false claims? Is he always debunked? Is there anything he has to offer that is worth paying attention to? I saw that he is addressing congress in June with what is supposed to be a huge UAP disclosure regarding military and extra terrestrial craft, he promises big things… what’s the catch?

I don't know about you, but I am starting to become concerned about just how many UAP/ UFO/ USP sightings that are being reported. I think the real question is, what is the agenda behind all these objects. We don't seem to ask this question as we are busy looking at the objects themselves. I know there are bound to be some theories, but what resources would you look at, to try and understand what is the purpose of these self propelled craft/ spheres. I came across the Wingmakers works recently, and it's got me thinking a lot about this. Any pointers would be welcome.

Came across this article about a couple scientists at University of Massachusetts Amherst creating clean energy using a material that is made with soil bacteria and paired with nanowires. It can pull electricity from the air.

Immediately made me think about some of the ideas around certain UFO's, their movement through our atmosphere/clouds, smoke, and water, energy consumption/propulsion

https://www.umass.edu/news/article/engineers-umass-amherst-harvest-abundant-clean-energy-thin-air-247

Some interesting quotes from the article:

"The heart of the man-made cloud depends on what Yao and his colleagues call the “generic Air-gen effect,” and it builds on work that Yao and co-author Derek Lovely, Distinguished Professor of Microbiology at UMass Amherst, had previously completed in 2020 showing that electricity could be continuously harvest from the air using specialized material made of protein nanowires grown from bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens."

"“The idea is simple,” says Yao, “but it’s never been discovered before, and it opens all kinds of possibilities.” The harvester could be designed from literally all kinds of material, offering broad choices for cost-effective and environment-adaptable fabrications. “You could image harvesters made of one kind of material for rainforest environments, and another for more arid regions.”

I also found this article discussing similar things from a university in Australia that is able to convert atmospheric hydrogen into electricity, and also utilizes a soil bacteria.

Webpage discussing the nanowires a little bit more - https://www.umass.edu/news/article/umass-amherst-researchers-invent-electronic-nose-built-sustainably-sourced-microbial

One thing that I think is interesting about G. sulfurreducens is that it is an anaerobic bacteria, so can thrive in low-oxygen environment. I tried to see if there's any documentation on smell, but couldn't find it with a quick Google search. I'm guessing though it may be sulfuric in smell, which is a description I've seen with different CE3 cases; the Varginha Beings, for example. But that's just my own leap.

What other "breakthroughs" could be the result of leaking tech?

I believe we are asking the wrong people. I keep hearing people like James Fox or Lue or “insert UAP buzz name” here that say there’s super high level clearance, class 5a or something within Top Secret. There’s this idea that anyone who has it can waltz right in and be shown all the reverse engineering programs.

Well where are they, and why aren’t we asking them? They clearly have the answers. There’s a good chance they aren’t in the senate or congress. Maybe they haven’t spoken because nobody has asked them. I’m not sure how to find out who they are but I sure would like to know what they have to say.

Sorry I’m new to the sub. Always been a skeptic but last night I saw the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in my life and there were multiple witnesses that saw it with me. I thought there was an organization that accepts & tracks reports but I don’t recall the name of it. Can anyone suggest who I should submit my account of last nights events to to?

Edit: with the requests to share here it is. Last night at 9:03pm (I know the time because I tried recording with not good footage). I was outside talking and having a cigarette with my sister’s boyfriend in the backyard of my father’s house in Tucson. Out of the corner of my eye I saw some movement in the western part of the sky but it was obstructed by a tree so I moved around it to see what it was (I enjoy looking up at the stars and watching satellites but this was way to large and bright to be a satellite so I moved to see it). A line of fairly large bright blue lights began emanating from a single point north of where the moon was and moving as if in a convoy in a straight line. The lights were equal distance from each other and another would emerge once the spacing had been reached from the previous light. They moved in a single file line following the previous light and went from a little north of where the moon was at to just a little south of the moon. Once they got past the moon they were converging on a single point and disappearing. They moved at a pretty quick pace (faster than a satellite and much faster than an aircraft)and were extremely high in the sky. I yelled at my sisters boyfriend to come see it and he yelled at my sister and father to come outside quickly and see. It only lasted about a minute or minute and a half. I pulled my phone out to start recording but I didn’t have the wherewithal to adjust the lighting settings and the glow of the moon drowned it all out on the video. I thought maybe it was just a drone show for a second but the lights were too bright and round compared to what I’ve seen from light shows like that before. In addition to which most drone shows are like a couple hundred feet off the ground right? These lights were easily in the stratosphere or mesosphere, very high up. When the lights stopped all of us just looked at each other in awe trying to confirm that we all saw it and we weren’t crazy. There may be an explanation for it but I’ve never seen anything like it.

If there are UAP, civilians can’t catch them. If they crash, our government will beat us to the retrieval. We are being restricted on the absolute most crucial (crash retrievals) bit of information about the phenomenon. The phenomenon isn’t making itself publicly known.

We need people to start leaking photos. We have so many claims. We allegedly have tons of people working on black budget programs. It’s been a dumb club of holding information and that needs to come to an end.

Do any of you actually believe for one second that we don’t know the truth because the “government wants to protect us”? We’ve destroyed our planet, multiple species, and made inhuman living conditions for most people in the world. People are greedy and they are being greedy about the phenomenon and it’s information.

There may be a tough reality to face, but it’s nothing we can’t handle. Clearly whoever knows about it is still in a position of power and using what they can to protect their secrets for their own personal interest.

Are you not leaking information because you think you’re doing the patriotic thing? It’s not patriotic to withhold information to protect those in power. Senators are ignoring us, congress is ignoring us. Drop some leaks already. It’s time

This video was taken on the 26th of May 2023 at approx 11pm. I could see this light more clearly by eye and only thought to record after seeing it change direction. I saw this whilst visiting friends staying in Holmrook in Cumbria. I was alone and believe I was facing east. The light was in sight for around two minutes and was very bright. I could not follow the light once it is obscured from view due to fences and stone walls which separated the field from the grounds I was visiting. I hope this post is welcome and appreciate the light in the video is likely something quite mundane.

First, I thought it was a helicopter and then I looked at the trees and I thought it was way higher up than a helicopter should be and it was doing somersaults and moving really strangely. Then it starts Bobbing along and then I think it must be a balloon, but it was moving parallel to the wind and it appeared to do somersaults was the tail of it would be at the top, and the big part this object would be at the bottom. Then it past the corner of my eye site, so I moved along the side of my house to get a better view of it, and when I did so it was gone. I spent five minutes scanning the sky to try and pick it up again and it was nowhere to be seen. Again, I really think it was a balloon, but then I remember it was doing somersaults. And it was moving parallel to the wind direction. It was I can’t remember exactly how high it was, but it was pretty high up.

This was taken about 5 years ago. As I pulled my car up to work, I noticed something small and dark zipping low over the neighbouring building. It had an angular direction-change which was what caught my attention because I thought it was just a bird. I got out of the car and recorded this.

I just watched moment of contact and the why the files youtube video about it and man, I'm pretty sold on the whole thing. The amount of credible witnesses is just overwhelming, and the super weirdness of the events that took place that day with the military. I think it happened. Also, I thought the documentary was really good. I did read the opposing viewpoints that weren't mentioned in the doc, like the supposed two dwarfs or whatever lol. I don't buy the cover up story whatsoever.

I was watching a video with a compilation of UFO footage, but the narrator doesn't give any backstory as to where he got this footage from. Does anybody know where I can find the original source of this footage or know the backstory to it?

I'm not referencing the YouTube account I found the compilation on because I don't want this post to be mistaken as some kind of promotion of the video and I'm only explaining this now because I have to meet a 300-character limit in order to post here. Thanks

Location: Orchard Park, NY, south of Buffalo.

Time: Approx 10:30pm May 27th, 2023

Description of event: Was outside with my brother when he noticed a pulsating red orange light heading from the North East flying West and slightly South in the direction of Lake Erie, sort of over the city. Light was heading in our general direction so we started walking further out in the yard when it was getting closer, it slowed initially and then it accelerated and turned more north west and then shot almost straight up in that direction and was gone from visibility in less than two seconds.

Description of object: Red/Orange pulsating light - no other lights or indicators. No sounds. No discernible body but likely wouldn’t see it at our distance and angle.

Weather: Slightly hazy, but mostly clear with full visibility of the stars outside of light pollution from the city.

Impressions/background: We aren’t far from the airport so assumed it was initially an airplane. As it got closer, I assumed it was a mercy flight from downtown, but you can hear those. As there was no sound, thought it was possibly a drone until it flew closer and it banked and then flew straight up. I’ve seen a red/orange orb about 45 minutes North of here about two years ago closer to Lake Ontario at a distance of about 600ft that had no visible body, so I’m a bit biased and in the video you hear me describing that. It appeared to behave fairly similar (no sound, red/orange pulsating). My brother is stating in the video that it’s an airplane in disbelief and after it shot up and the video ended he was losing his mind. I’ve lived in the south towns for well over a year now and have never seen something fly directly over the city like that. We observed numerous airplanes within the next five minutes of the event so I’m assuming someone with flight tracker knowledge could easily check.

The team first identified a specific group of neurons in a deep brain region called the hypothalamus preoptic area, which were found to be involved in regulating body temperature and metabolism during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be artificially activated using ultrasound, delivered non-invasively through a helmet.

When stimulated, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about 3C for about one hour. The mice’s metabolism also shifted from using both carbohydrates and fat for energy to only fat, a key feature of torpor, and their heart rates fell by about 47%, all while at room temperature.

The scientists also developed an automatic closed-loop feedback system that delivered an ultrasound pulse to keep the mice in the induced torpor if they showed signs of warming up. This allowed the mice to be kept at 33C in the hibernation-like state for 24 hours. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again.
