Turns out, lots of quite well-known people, and several commenters on The Unz Review believe these UFOs are demons. I would like to take a stab at seriously looking at this possibility.
There is a version of the UAP problem that is safe to discuss in polite company. It involves military pilots seeing objects that outperform known aerospace technology, radar systems confirming what the pilots saw, and a government that has spent decades lying about its level of interest in the subject. This version has congressional hearings, credentialed witnesses, and the imprimatur of the New York Times. It is, in the vocabulary of the national security establishment, a technology problem — something unknown is operating in controlled airspace, and the responsible question is what it is and who built it. Being alarming without being embarrassing is a considerable advantage. Senators can engage with it. Defense contractors can orient toward it. Journalists can cover it without their editors pulling them aside for a quiet word.
What this does not engage with, and has structural reasons not to engage with, is the rest of the record. Not the cleaned-up remainder after the strange cases have been removed, but the strange cases themselves, which constitute a substantial portion of the total evidence and which have been documented by researchers whose credentials are not obviously inferior to those of the people testifying before Congress. The abduction literature alone represents decades of systematic investigation involving thousands of witnesses, conducted by a Harvard psychiatrist, a professional historian, and an artist turned investigator who between them produced a body of work that any honest accounting of the UAP record has to address. The cattle mutilation evidence involves law enforcement testimony, veterinary analysis, FBI investigations, and physical characteristics that remain unexplained after half a century of attempted explanations. The cluster phenomena — locations where multiple anomalous event types aggregate simultaneously and then apparently follow investigators home — have been documented by scientists with advanced degrees who did not begin their careers expecting to write those reports. None of this material sits comfortably in the technology problem category. All of it gets quietly moved to a different shelf.
The technology researchers set high strangeness aside because it makes their core argument harder to take seriously. The secrecy investigators set it aside because it makes their sources look unstable. The congressional witnesses set it aside because their lawyers told them to. Each is a rational decision given the relevant incentive structure, and the cumulative effect is a public conversation about UAP from which the most significant portion of the evidence has been systematically removed before the conversation begins. What remains is impressive enough. What was removed is the point.
The serious theological and metaphysical literature that addresses the nature and behavior of the phenomenon directly — rather than its propulsion systems — has not set the strange material aside. It has organized its entire analytical framework around it. This is not because theologians and Traditionalist philosophers are less rigorous than defense analysts. It is because they were asking a different question from the start, and the question they were asking turns out to fit the data considerably better. That is an uncomfortable conclusion for people who have spent careers on the technology problem. It is nonetheless the conclusion the evidence supports, or at minimum the conclusion that deserves to be tested rather than assumed away.
In a recent episode of the American Alchemy podcast, Jesse Michels facilitated a thought-provoking dialogue between mathematician Eric Weinstein and astrophysicist Dr. Eric W. Davis, focused on the complexities surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). Over a four-hour conversation, they delved into the conspicuous absence of theoretical physicists in UAP-related programs, despite the presence of engineers and material scientists with direct knowledge of alleged crash-retrieval efforts. Weinstein’s frustration with this absence highlights a critical gap in understanding the physics behind UAP capabilities, suggesting that the challenges posed by UAPs extend beyond engineering to fundamental physics. The discussion raises crucial questions about the structure of research and the compartmentalization of knowledge in defense-related projects.
Weinstein’s analogy regarding the lack of physicists in UAP retrieval programs likens the situation to an orchestra missing its essential musicians, arguing that without the input of theoretical physicists, significant scientific advancements cannot be realized. Davis corroborates this notion by contrasting the disjointed nature of current retrieval efforts with the collaborative framework of the Manhattan Project, where various scientific disciplines worked cohesively towards a common goal. This point underscores a potential failure in the organization of UAP research, suggesting that a more integrated approach involving theoretical physics could be necessary to address the profound challenges posed by UAP phenomena.
The conversation also touches on the historical context of the Manhattan Project, illustrating how compartmentalization was a deliberate design choice rather than a flaw. This historical analogy serves as a lens to examine contemporary UAP research, prompting speculation about whether a similar compartmentalization exists today—one that may exclude physicists by design. The Wilson-Davis memo suggests that access to sensitive programs is tightly controlled, hinting at layers of classification that might keep theoretical physics work hidden from the engineers working on the retrieval efforts. This raises concerns about the efficiency and effectiveness of current UAP research frameworks and whether the critical insights from theoretical physics are being deliberately isolated from practical engineering applications.
Moreover, the discussion introduces the role of notable figures like Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Maxwell, who, through their connections to various scientific and governmental institutions, have been implicated in potentially surveilling or influencing the scientific discourse around advanced physics. Weinstein posits that Epstein may have had motives beyond finance, positioning himself at the intersection of theoretical physics and intelligence operations. This assertion, coupled with the exploration of the Department of Energy’s classification system, suggests that significant research related to UAPs may be occurring outside of public and even military scrutiny. The implication is that if physicists are indeed located in hidden layers of government or private institutions, the broader understanding of UAP technology and its implications remains obscured by both secrecy and a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration.
The White House has broken their silence on the disturbing string of deaths and disappearances involving scientists with knowledge of America’s biggest secrets.
During Wednesday’s briefing at the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked for the first time about the ten people linked to space or nuclear secrets who have mysteriously died or vanished without a trace since 2023.
When asked if the Trump Administration was aware of the incidents and if the US intelligence community was already investigating whether they were connected, Leavitt did not have a definitive answer for reporters.
Among the most prominent voices dissatisfied with the government’s response to the alleged national security threat has been Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett, who has claimed McCasland was deeply tied to the country’s secret UFO programs.
Burchett previously told the Daily Mail he had been demanding answers regarding the search for the retired general and others, but had received no answers from the US intelligence community – including the so-called ‘alphabet agencies’ such as the FBI.
‘I’ve been constantly ran down different rabbit holes with them, so I don’t have any need to talk to them at all,’ the congressman said in March.
‘The numbers seem very high in these certain areas of research. I think we’d better be paying attention, and I don’t think we should trust our government.’
For decades, we’ve been looking to the skies for any sign of aliens – but it turns out we may have been missing attempts at contact.
A new study has cast doubt on our radio signal detection methods, arguing that ‘space weather’ could be distorting incoming transmissions.
Until now, most experiments have focused on identifying spikes in radio frequency – signals unlikely to be produced by any other natural processes in space.
But experts have highlighted an overlooked complication.
Even if an extraterrestrial transmitter produces a perfectly narrow radio signal, it may not remain narrow by the time it leaves its home star’s atmosphere.
This distortion, which happens near the point of origin, can ‘smear’ the signal’s frequency, meaning it can be missed by our detectors that are primed to search for more focused radio waves.
‘Searches are often optimized for extremely narrow signals,’ Dr Vishal Gajjar, astronomer at the SETI Institute and lead author of the paper, said.
‘If a signal gets broadened by its own star’s environment, it can slip below our detection thresholds, even if it’s there, potentially helping explain some of the radio silence we’ve seen in technosignature searches.’
The interstellar object traveling through our solar system has just made its most startling move yet, appearing to reverse thrust as it disappeared behind our sun.
It’s the latest in a growing list of puzzling clues that some scientists have claimed prove that the object dubbed 3I/ATLAS is not just an ordinary comet from a distant solar system.
Harvard physicist Avi Loeb has been among the leading voices maintaining that there is enough evidence to say 3I/ATLAS has shown signs of being guided by an unknown intelligence.
The next clue could emerge on October 29, when the object is projected to reach its closest point to the sun.
Loeb told the Daily Mail that if 3I/ATLAS comes out of this blind spot in a completely different place than gravity was taking it, it would be a clear sign the object was artificial and likely powered by some kind of engine.
Most astronomers have been reluctant to consider the possibility of an extraterrestrial origin, noting that the space rock has shown the classic signs of being a comet, including having a tail and a coma, a large cloud of gas and dust surrounding it.
Previous studies throughout the summer have concluded that 3I/ATLAS’s strange chemical makeup, rich in carbon dioxide gas, is merely a result of forming in a solar system completely foreign to our own.
However, Loeb contends that those in the scientific community who have dismissed the more extraordinary possibilities are more concerned with being right and avoiding criticism than alerting the public to a potentially world-changing event.
‘Here we are talking about a potential for something that could affect humanity in the future in a dramatic way, and so you shouldn’t apply the same approach of being as conservative as possible,’ Loeb explained.
Transient star-like objects of unknown origin have been identified in the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS-I) conducted prior to the first artificial satellite. We tested speculative hypotheses that some transients are related to nuclear weapons testing or unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) reports. A dataset comprising daily data (11/19/49—4/28/57) regarding identified transients, nuclear testing, and UAP reports was created (n = 2,718 days). Results revealed significant (p = .008) associations between nuclear testing and observed transients, with transients 45% more likely on dates within + /- 1 day of nuclear testing. For days on which at least one transient was identified, significant associations were noted between total number of transients and total number of independent UAP reports per date (p = 0.015). For every additional UAP reported on a given date, there was an 8.5% increase in number of transients identified. Small but significant (p = .008) associations between nuclear testing and number of UAP reports were also noted. Findings suggest associations beyond chance between occurrence of transients and both nuclear testing and UAP reports. These findings may help elucidate the nature of POSS-I transients and strengthen empirical support for the UAP phenomenon.
Evidence of non-human intelligence activity near US nuclear sites gains scientific validation
A groundbreaking study has just been published, providing verified evidence that something or someone was observing our nuclear sites from space long before the first human satellites were ever launched into orbit.
Dr Beatriz Villarroel from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden revealed a clear connection between nuclear tests between 1949 and 1957 and an increase in the number of mysterious bright spots called ‘transients’ appearing in the sky.
These transients are not believed to be a natural phenomenon, with Villarroel saying they showed signs of being highly reflective, like a mirror, and even spinning like a flying saucer.
The publication of these findings was a major milestone, as most papers discussing the existence of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) are rejected by the scientific community.
Having the work successfully peer-reviewed means other scientists have looked over the data and could not find anything to dismiss the team’s findings as just another unproven story about UFOs.
A respected congressman has claimed that advanced alien beings could be hiding out in ‘five or six’ underwater UFO bases right off the US coast.
Tennessee congressman Tim Burchett, a member of the House Oversight Committee overseeing UFO reports, drew massive attention on social media after saying that he believed there were alien ‘entities’ currently living in deep-water areas on Earth.
The September 17 clip posted on X has already been viewed more than 1.9 million times.
During the sidewalk interview with a UFO researcher and documentary filmmaker who goes by the pseudonym Red Panda Koala, Burchett suggested that advanced alien beings or civilizations may have been hiding in Earth’s oceans for generations.
He added that there have been frequent sightings of unidentified craft around five or six specific deep-sea areas, which he found significant given how little is known about the ocean compared to the moon’s surface.
Why do you think the Vatican keeps its underground libraries closed to the public? Why don’t they digitize the books and share them with the world? We know that they possess ancient knowledge, but why keep it for a select few?
Do you think it’s because they care about us or because they want an advantage?
The mainstream narrative is that they want to preserve the books because they are old, and are now slowly digitizing and publishing them online. But in reality, there are millions of books, transcripts, manuscripts, etc., and they have published only a few thousand. How can we know they are not being selective?
This is a Deep Rabbit Hole Thread (1/10)🧵
They say, ‘Knowledge is power,’ but also, ‘Ignorance is bliss.’ Do you really think that the masses are not ready for the truth? And do you really believe that only the select elite is able to handle the knowledge?
They renamed the library from the ‘Vatican Secret Archives’ to the ‘Vatican Apostolic Library,’ and the ‘Vatican Secret Archives’ to the ‘Vatican Apostolic Archives,’ to stop drawing attention to their secret! (2/10)🧵
Astronomers claim to have seen the strongest evidence so far for life on another planet. But other astronomers have urged caution until the findings can be verified by other groups and alternative, non-biological explanations can be ruled out.
“These are the first hints we are seeing of an alien world that is possibly inhabited,” Nikku Madhusudhan at the University of Cambridge told a press conference on 15 March.
Astronomers first discovered the exoplanet K2-18b in 2015, and soon established that it was a promising place to look for life. About eight times as massive as Earth and orbiting a star 124 light years away from us, the planet sits in the habitable zone of its star, where liquid water can exist. Further observations, in 2019, found evidence of water vapour, which led to suggestions that the planet may be covered in oceans sitting under a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, though not all astronomers agreed.
