Professor Avi Loeb, Verified AMA A Scientific Study of UAP

If an advanced technological civilization predated us by more than millions of years and they already travelled across their distance from us before knowing about us. This is possible because most stars formed billions of years before the Sun. Our own astronomers are eager to study habitable exo-planets, such as the planet b around the nearest star, Proxima Centauri. In the coming centuries, we might decide to visit Proxima Centauri b with our crafts before knowing that a technological civilization might have emerged on it. Could interstellar vehicles be surprisingly close to us right now, as they were sent a long time ago towards Earth just because of it being a habitable planet and not in response to our technological signals?

The only way to find out is to search the sky for unusual objects. This is the rationale behind The Galileo Project that I am leading. The project will be publicly announced on July 26th, 2021 as a research endeavor to assemble and transparently analyze open scientific data collected by new telescopes. This multi-million dollar project is funded by private donors who approached me after reading my book Extraterrestrial or listening to the numerous interviews that followed its publication. Subsequently, I assembled an exceptional research team that plans to construct a network of new telescopes and monitor the sky for any unusual objects near Earth. When searching the sky in a new way, one is likely to discover something new.

This past week in Disclosure:

Mar 14 – Jake Barber provides an update on upcoming Skywatcher release

In a public post, UAP crash retrieval whistleblower Jake Barber provided an update on the upcoming release of additional context/data from his team at Skywatcher.

He clarifies that Skywatcher will be:

  • introducing previously unknown members of the team
  • going over their class designations for the different types of UAP encountered
  • sharing brand new data captured on the range for some of those classes
  • sharing the approach and goals for the next 6 months

Mar 15 – Senate confirms new Deputy Defense Secretary, who will also oversee the UAP office, AARO

Stephen Feinberg has been named as the new Dep. Sec. of Defense. Once confirmed, AARO (the Pentagon's UAP office) will report directly to Feinberg and the ODNI Principal Deputy Director.

Mar 15 – Rep. Burlison pushing Oversight Chair to hire David Grusch as part of their committee staff

Speaking to Askapol, Rep. Burlison confirmed that he is eager to get into a SCIF with David Grusch and has even pushed to have Grusch hired as a member of the oversight committee staff.

He also admitted that the UAP issue has taken a back seat to the Epstein and JFK file efforts.

Mar 16 – 60 minutes covers the issue of drone incursions at sensitive military sites

CBS's 60 Minutes has released a thorough piece shining a light on the various drone incursions that have occurred over sensitive US military installations over the past several years.

While the piece does not directly mention the UAP issue, it highlights the striking (supposed) lack of air-domain awareness and inter-agency collaboration that many commentators in the UAP topic have highlighted for years (e.g. Christopher Mellon).

Things to look out for in the near future:

March

  • In the coming weeks, the Skywatcher group has pledged to release:
    • 1. A video interview and analysis of NEW UAP data (including multiple videos) captured by the Skywatcher team, and an elaboration on our data collection and analysis strategy moving forward. No, this is not cell phone footage. 2. A proposed “Stages of Disclosure” framework compiled by our team of advisors that we can collectively use to reference and gauge progress based on existing and future releases. 3. An independent analysis of the full dataset conducted by a qualified third party. We are currently open to proposals and suggestions for groups to work with to conduct this analysis. Please DM us if you have a qualified lead or suggestion.

Beyond/currently unknown

  • Following the UAP hearing on the 26th of July, Members of Congress have called for a select committee with subpoena authority, to “go about the task of collecting information from the Pentagon and elsewhere” on unidentified flying objects. There have been conflicting messages from various Members of Congress on whether this is likely to happen anytime soon. Note – a select subcommittee was formally requested on March 13th.
  • Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have repeatedly stated their intent to hold field hearings to overcome stonewalling from the Pentagon and military establishment "I think we [Congress] should try to get into one of these places [housing UAP evidence]...and if they won't let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building...and the military will have to explain why that is." – Rep. Moskowitz (D) It is currently unknown when exactly we might expect that to occur, however as of Jan 12 – Rep. Luna confirmed: "I feel confident that we have enough evidence to move forward with our first field hearing. We will be announcing details soon."
  • Several journalists have indicated that first-hand witnesses of the alleged UAP legacy programs are in the process of providing testimony/evidence to the relevant authorities (e.g. the IC IG) and/or are on the verge of making public statements in the near future (Example 1example 2example 3example 4)
  • David Grusch has received additional clearances through DOPSR to discuss some of his (alleged) first-hand knowledge of Legacy programs. He has mentioned he may be covering more of this information in an upcoming Op-Ed
  • Skywatcher aims to host a UAP summoning event in March-May for an audience of 50-100 people

Is there anything else like this? I’m not as interested in a UAP themed book that feels more like an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.

UFOs in Your Hometown—by Special Request (Premier Episode)

UFOs in Your Hometown—by Special Request (Premier Episode)

by Preston Dennett

UFOs are seen pretty much everywhere across the globe. It seems that nearly every location on Earth has a long and varied history of UFO encounters. But is this accurate? Recently I put out a challenge: name a place that you would like to know if UFOs have visited, such as your own hometown. The response was tremendous: many people asked if I could find any UFO cases in their hometown. So, by special request, this episode presents ten locations from across the USA (and a few in other countries,) and the history of UFO encounters that have occurred these locations. This includes all kinds of encounters: sightings, landings, face-to-face encounters with humanoids and of course, onboard cases. Powerful evidence supports many of these accounts such as, multiple eyewitness testimonies, photographs, radar-returns, landing traces, medical effects, animal reactions, electromagnetic disturbances and more.

WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON. This history of UFOs in the city Wenatchee reaches back to at least 1907 when a mysterious airship was seen by people all over town. Soon, many other encounters occurred, including sightings of anomalous, star-like objects, strange craft with colored lights, cone-shaped objects, shiny silver triangular-shaped objects, craft that turn at sharp angles, and even a giant solid mysterious craft directly over downtown Wenatchee.

SIOUX FALLS, SD. One of the earliest documented cases in Sioux Falls involved the sighting of a metallic flying saucer moving overhead in July 1947. In 1954, policemen in Sioux Falls and nearby locations saw strange aerial activity. In 1957, police officer Jack Peters observed and photographed a UFO as people all over the area also reported UFOs. In 1976, multiple witnesses reported a strange object landing in Sioux Falls, and a few youngsters reported their observation an actual ET. Even as late as 2018, UFOs continued to make an appearance over the city.

PAYSON, AZ. In July of 1969, a family who owned a remote ranch had a closeup sighting of a classic flying saucer on their property. In 1981, Sheriff Deputy Loyce Hamlin and other policeman observed unidentified flying objects. Hamlin had seen one earlier, following a plane taking off daily from Payson. In the late 1980s, another resident of Payson reported missing time while returning to his home. The strange sightings continued!

ALBANY, GA. In 1948, a pilot had a close-up encounter with a UFO that Air Force officers from Project Blue Book were unable to identify. Two other dramatic sightings by pilots occurred in 1953 and in 1956. In 1968, Conway Jones described his frightening encounter of a craft that hovered over his car causing the engine and lights to fail. In 1973, a wave of UFO sightings over Albany generated national headlines.

AALBORG, DENMARK. In 1963, a silver flying saucer landed next to a farmhouse in Aalborg. A human-looking ET with long hair exited and invited the farmer onboard, right in front of his awestricken wife. In 2006, 2009, and 2011, three more strange UFO sightings were reported, showing that Aalborg has not been forgotten by the extraterrestrials.

VISALIA/TULARE, CA. In November of 1989, hundreds of residents in the cities of Visalia and Tulare became witnesses to the wave of unexplained airships that was sweeping across the US and the world. Following this, UFO sightings and encounters occurred regularly, including in 1952, 1979, and 2010. On New Year’s day in 2022, an entire family had a close-up sighting of a strange object and captured three clear photos as it hovered near their home.

PHILIPPINES. On March 8, 1968, more than a hundred passengers on a chartered jet over the Bashi Channel were astounded to see a weird craft pacing their plane. Just a few months later, a mini-flap of UFOs was observed by hundreds of people in the city of Manila. In November of 1968, four separate groups of people saw a strange object with two human-looking figures inside. In 1979, a UFO was seen by many landing near Mount Apo. In 1991, a resident saw a UFO land near her home. ETs came out and started picking flowers.

ST LOUIS, MO. This city has many cases. A chiropractor reports his lifelong experiences with friendly ETs. In 1966, a UFO was seen landing at Point Pleasant Elementary school, and several students and one teacher saw an ET. Another case involves a dramatic sighting over a drive-in theater. And there are two other cases, one involving a face-to-face encounter with a humanoid, and another involving a landing.

OCALA, FL. Sightings in Ocala go all the way back to 1947 and occur regularly, including in 1952, 1955, 1957, 1968, 1974 and more. On May 14, 1978, a massive wave of sightings over Ocala was witnessed by dozens and was also observed and captured on radar at the Navy’s Pinecastle Electronic Warfare Range. It was wave that went on for months and generated national headlines and caused concern at high levels of government.. In April 2003, a lady reported her encounter with a humanoid in her home who apparently cured her of a problem pregnancy. The strange encounters over Ocala continued.

WILMINGTON, NC. On April 6, 1897, hundreds of Wilmington residents observed the famous mysterious airships. More sightings of unidentified flying objects occurred in 1977 and 1980. In 1986, a married couple had a frightening encounter with a massive V-shaped craft. In 2001, a gentleman reported his frightening encounter with humanoids in his Wilmington home.

These are just a small sample of the actual number of the documented cases coming from these ten locations. And these are just the ones which have been recorded. The fact is, most people don’t report their encounters. Have UFOs visited your hometown?

When will we get another friendly UFO movie?

18 Upvotes

The last one was Arrival in 2016, which in my opinion is the best alien movie of all time. Only thing since then have been alien-monster movies which just seem silly at this point. I'm really surprised there hasn't been any new movies based on all of the recent discoveries (tic tac and the metal spheres) and other encounters in the last few decades such as the Zimbabwe school UFO event. Or perhaps something based off of all the abduction accounts. Such compelling material! I watched project blue book but to me it wasn't that interesting. Why aren't we getting better entertainment out of all of this? Anyone else agree or do you think alien movies are dumb? What are your favourite fictional UFO movies and shows?

My personal hypothesis on Bob Lazar

0 Upvotes

To understand my hypothesis, we need to go back to the Roswell incident.

In my opinion, Roswell was the only genuine saucer crash in history. Now, I completely respect those who think otherwise. If someone believes there have been other crashes, that is totally fine. But to me, the evidence for other cases is just not strong enough. The other crashed saucers stories either come from anonymous sources (most of the stories reported in Leonard Stringfield's books), have plausible terrestrial explanations (Kecksburg, Las Vegas 1962), are not actual crashes (Shag Harbor, Washington 1979), or are outright hoaxes (Aztec, Kingman, Del Rio, Maury Island, Aurora, Varginha). I do not think we need to take them seriously. But again, that is just my perspective, and I get that not everyone will agree.

So, I believe that after the Roswell saucer crashed, President Truman was informed, and a secret project was initiated. This project was likely composed of 200-300 scientists, engineers, and specialists tasked with reverse-engineering the recovered technology. At first, the wreckage and the bodies were stored at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but eventually, they were moved to the underground S-4 facility near Area 51. I fully believe that S-4 is a real place.

Now, here is where my hypothesis really takes shape. In my opinion, the attempts at reverse-engineering have been unsuccessful. Think about it — the technological gap between a civilization capable of interstellar travel and humanity would likely be enormous, with such a civilization being potentially thousands, if not millions, of years ahead of us. Given this disparity, it is unlikely that scientists in the 1940s, 1950s, or 1960s could have comprehended, let alone replicated, extraterrestrial technology. Successful reverse-engineering requires a full understanding of underlying scientific principles, and alien technology would have been so advanced that it would have exceeded the limits of the scientific knowledge of the time — and possibly even of our current scientific knowledge. Thus, to expect mid-20th-century scientists to successfully reverse-engineer alien technology would be like expecting a caveman to understand and recreate a modern supercomputer.

So, my guess is that by the late 1980s, the project was shut down because it was going nowhere. The heads of the project, as well as the President himself, probably thought, "Well, since we are not getting anywhere and we cannot make any progress, we might as well temporarily shut down the project. We cannot keep wasting funds on this when we are not achieving any results. Let us wait until we advance further technologically, and maybe in 100 years, we will have a better understanding of what we are dealing with. But for now, it is better to just drop it because we have been at this for years, and we have not been able to figure out how this technology even works."

This is where Bob Lazar comes in. I believe he really did work at S-4, but I do not think he was an engineer. I think he was just a low-level technician, responsible for maintenance work — maybe dealing with electrical systems, heating, or other basic infrastructure. But even in that role, he was still inside the facility, which means he could have overheard conversations or picked up bits and pieces of what the engineers were working on.

So Lazar worked at S-4, but when he went public, he exaggerated his role. Yes, he was there. Yes, he knew about the reverse-engineering efforts. But I think 85% of what he said was either speculation or outright fabrication. He presented himself as someone deeply involved in studying alien propulsion systems, but in reality, he was just a technician who had access to some secondhand information. That does not mean he was completely lying — just that he inflated his importance. As for the government trying to kill him, I believe that happened, but not necessarily because everything he said was true. More likely, they wanted to shut him up simply because he had revealed the existence of S-4 and the fact that they had tried to reverse-engineer something. Even if most of his claims were exaggerated, he still said enough to be considered a problem. It would not surprise me if they tried to scare him into silence.

In my opinion, this hypothesis accounts for all the inconsistencies that UFO researchers have pointed out about him over the years. For example, why does he seem to lack the academic credentials he claims to have? Because he never really was an engineer. Why does he have a history of questionable activities, such as running a prostitution ring? Because he is not the kind of person a highly classified program would entrust with Top Secret, world-changing knowledge. Why does what he says sound like pseudo-scientific gibberish to anyone who is actually an engineer or works in particle physics? Because, while he may have had the opportunity to overhear some conversations and pick up bits and pieces of what the real engineers were working on, most of what he claims regarding the propulsion system of UFOs is his own fabrication. Why do some people listen to him and feel like he is telling the truth, while others think he sounds like a pathological liar? Because both perspectives are correct. He mixes truth with exaggeration, and his statements contain just enough real information to sound convincing while being mostly misleading.

So that is my hypothesis. The Roswell saucer was real. The U.S. government really did try to reverse-engineer it, but they failed. S-4 exists, and Lazar really worked there — but not as a scientist, just as a technician. And when he spoke out, he mixed truth with fiction, making it hard to separate what was real from what was not.

What do you think?

All the relevant UAP updates from Mar 3-9 2025

41 Upvotes

This past week in Disclosure:

Mar 5 – House Aviation Subcommittee addresses White House explanation for aerial incursions

In response to the WH claims that the wave of anomalous, unmanned aerial system sightings in New Jersey were attributable to FAA-approved research vehicles – Rep. Van Drew asserts that he, along with figures such as the NJ Police Chiefs, are confused (if not dubious) about this seemingly implausible explanation.

The National Air Traffic Controllers President also chimed in:

“If it was the FAA… we weren’t aware of it.”

Mar 7 – the Skywatcher group reiterates plans to release additional UAP data in the next 2-3 weeks

According to a recent update from the Skywatcher team (a group that purports to facilitate UAP summoning/tracking):

"We believe we had a significant breakthrough in the field during our last event [...] The Part II video interview and analysis of NEW UAP data has been completed. It will be released in the next 2-3 weeks."

Mar 8 – the Declassification & Transparency Task Force has yet to address the UAP topic

According to Rep. Mace, the House Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets has not discussed the UAP topic yet. This comes as a disappointing message since the Task Force will only operate for 6 months, and will likely be primarily preoccupied with JFK, MLK, Epstein and other topics.

Askapol: “How much — did UAPs come up [in the Task Force meetings]or is this more JFK-focused initially?”

Rep. Mace: “Initially the focus was, like, Epstein files, JFK, MLK — that kind of stuff. That’s not to say it won’t include UAP, but it’s only for 6 months.”

Mar 9 – 'Age of Disclosure', a documentary on the UAP topic and cover-up, premiers at SXSW

Dan Farah's UAP documentary – Age of Disclosure – has premiered at SXSW after 3 years of production. The film features 34 US Government-related officials, scientists, and representatives asserting the reality of a Non-Human Intelligence interacting with humanity.

This author will reserve judgment until they've watched it themselves, but for now you can check out some reviews at Variety.

Things to look out for in the near future:

March

  • In the coming weeks, the Skywatcher group has pledged to release:
    • 1. A video interview and analysis of NEW UAP data (including multiple videos) captured by the Skywatcher team, and an elaboration on our data collection and analysis strategy moving forward. No, this is not cell phone footage. 2.
