Chris Styles was just 12 years old on a clear night when he looked out his bedroom window and spotted a strange light moving along the shoreline a few blocks from his house.
He grabbed his grandfather’s binoculars to get a better look and then ran out of the house, much to his dad’s dismay, down to the water’s edge.
“There’s this huge sphere and it was a very dull orange, and it was glowing just like a poker in a fireplace,” said Styles about what he saw on Oct. 4, 1967, around 10 p.m. AT.
David Grusch: Americans killed by reptilian beings at crash site
Many unidentified flying objects, or what the government calls “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” are balloons, satellites, birds, or things otherwise explainable. Balloons and satellites account for nearly 85% of the objects in the Pentagon’s resolved UFO investigations. Some UFOs are also undisclosed aircraft belonging to secret military or intelligence units, Russia, or China — the Washington Examiner reported in 2023 on China’s use of drones to spy on U.S. military training areas.
Nevertheless, as I’ve argued previously, a small subset of UFOs is very likely the construct of a highly advanced nonhuman intelligence.

The world’s most prominent UFO whistleblowers have formed an unprecedented coalition to ask President Trump to waive their government nondisclosure agreements — which they say are preventing them from sharing what they know about extraterrestrial life with the American public.
Dylan Borland, David Grusch and Matthew Brown say they accumulated the information while working in highly classified government programs and are legally barred from discussing it publicly without White House intervention.
BREAKING: The government is opening up more UFO files.
Newly released material includes a film tied to a 1952 Utah sighting, along with more recent videos showing mysterious objects in the sky. The Pentagon says some cases remain unresolved, meaning officials cannot definitively… pic.twitter.com/jRHuxL6lL4
The sixth batch of UFO files has been released by the Pentagon, showing clusters of alleged spacecraft flying through the sky for decades.
The latest tranche was made public Friday morning, with the focus on a famous 1952 UFO sighting by a Navy photographer in Tremonton, Utah.
The newly released footage revealed ten to 14 bright objects in a clear blue sky. Newhouse, a Navy warrant officer who was on vacation with his family at the time, described them as looking like two discs stacked on top of each other – creating the classic ‘flying saucer’ shape.
🇺🇸 The Pentagon just released its 6th batch of UFO files.
Among the goodies: footage of mysterious objects swarming over Utah in 1952 and paperwork showing the government once spent nearly $22 million investigating this stuff.
For ten years, from a small office located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. A career journalist named John Magor put out one of the most durable & distinctive UFO publications North America has ever seen.
Our survey of 2,000 Americans asked people whether recent UFO or UAP news coverage has changed their opinion on the topic and found that 37% now believe more than they used to.
More than half (54%) say their opinion on extraterrestrials has not changed and 10% say it’s actually made them believe less, according to the research findings.
News coverage on UFOs or UAPs seems more likely to move younger generations towards belief — 54% of Gen Z have increased their belief due to recent news stories, with the impact falling with age.
During a visit to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1950, Enrico Fermi, one of the architects of the Manhattan Project, was having lunch with other physicists when the conversation turned to flying saucers. At one point during the discussion, Fermi blurted out: “Where is everybody?” – or, as another participant remembered it, “Don’t you ever wonder where everybody is?” If aliens exist, in other words, why have we never encountered them?
The episode has become famous, marking the moment when extraterrestrial life went from a theme for philosophical speculation to a serious scientific problem. For centuries, people had wondered whether life exists on the moon or Mars, but they accepted that we would never know for certain, since making contact with another planet was impossible. By the 1950s, those limits no longer seemed so fixed. In addition to space flight, researchers were developing tools to detect the radio signals that reach us from stars many light years away. These developments were still in their infancy, but it was already clear that humanity was no longer bound to Earth the way it always had been.
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.
As 17-year-old Laurie Wickens drove some friends home from a dance on a clear October 1967 night, he spotted lights in the sky.
As he travelled on Highway 3 in an isolated, coastal part of southwestern Nova Scotia, he saw four lights in the sky that flashed in sequence, then all together at the same time.
All of a sudden, the object crashed into the waters off the fishing village of Shag Harbour.
Doug Buettner’s grandfather once saw a flying saucer hovering on his farm in Portland, Ore., in 1947, or so the story goes.
The cows were acting up in the field and he went to check on them. Buettner never heard the story first-hand — his grandfather died before he was born — but his mother, who said she also saw two UFOs as a teenager in a separate incident, passed the story down.
Buettner, now deputy chief scientist at a university affiliated research centre for the Pentagon, is researching UFOs intensely.
A month ago, I was visited by a representative from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). He raised a simple question.
“Would you be willing to establish and lead a new advisory council for the US Government on the science of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena?” In other words, would I head a council on UFOs. I responded: “You had me at ‘hello.’”
There was no doubt in my mind that I should accept this role. Our goal is to advise the U.S. government on how to resolve the nature of UAP.
An Italian translator who says he was ‘fired by the Vatican’ for his interpretation of the original Hebrew Bible has revealed a radical reinterpretation of what God in scripture really is.
Mauro Biglino pointed to the word ‘Elohim,’ found 2,570 times in the Holy Book, which translates to ‘God’ or, in his opinion, ‘Gods.’
Biglino, an Italian scholar who worked as a biblical translator for Edizioni San Paolo, a major Catholic publishing house linked to the Vatican, suggested that instead of detailing encounters with one God, the Bible describes encounters with a group of mortal, alien beings armed with high technology.
NASA’s chief administrator confirmed in a bombshell interview that the space agency has taken images of objects which can only be described as UFOs.
Jared Isaacman, who took over as leader of NASA in December 2025, said real imagery captured from space could not be explained away as a comet or other natural phenomenon.
While Isaacman stopped short of calling it proof of alien life, he was confident that the ultimate conclusion would be that the universe is full of extraterrestrial life, which humans have not yet discovered.
Pols and experts claim that there’s a long-unheard secret tape of an “Invasion of Washington” UFO briefing – and they say the public could hear it very soon.
A tape recording a 1952 conversation between Air Force officials and scientists on unidentified flying objects is soon to be released, Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) told a room of UFO transparency advocates at Disclosure Forum 2026.
Is the rest of the cosmos a pristine environment awaiting the arrival of humanity’s “post-human” descendants? Or is advanced life there already – and if so has it visited us? These questions rate as some of the most fascinating in science.
They bring to mind the theme of science-fiction classics like Steven Spielberg’s ET. Now, though, amid the fanfare surrounding his new film, Departure Day, Spielberg himself has said he believes that aliens exist.
So do I, though I’m sceptical of Spielberg’s belief that we’ve been visited here on Earth. Proclamations of UFO sightings, abductions, and so forth never seem convincing.
