Roswell UFO Witness Describes Alien Bodies, Egg-Shaped Craft In Newly Released Files
The Pentagon released its seventh batch of newly declassified UFO files including an eyewitness account of the 1947 Roswell suspected UFO crash describing alien bodies and an egg-shaped craft.
The tranche of documents also contains a report on the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah with more than two dozen sightings of dog-like creatures, trolls, and other phenomena.
The files are part of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Encounters, called PURSUE.
“These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation – and it’s time the American people see it for themselves,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement.
Among the documents was an affidavit from 2002 believed to be provided by former Roswell Air Base Public Information Officer Walter Haut. In it, Haut describes a staff meeting on July 8, 1947, where officials discussed wreckage collected from a ranch 40 miles from Roswell.
“I am convinced that what I personally observed was some type of craft and its crew from outer space,” Haut said in the affidavit.
Haut describes two debris fields in Lincoln County where he said the crash debris was collected. He also said he and others held samples of wreckage debris and passed it around while sitting at a table.
“It was unlike any material I had or have ever seen in my life,” Haut said. “Pieces which resembled metal foil, paper thin yet extremely strong, and pieces with unusual markings along their length were handled from man to man, each voicing their opinion. No one was able to identify the crash debris.”
The group discussed whether to go public with the discovery, he said. Famously, the first account of the crash made it into the local Roswell Daily Record, which ran the headline “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region.” The military later changed the explanation, saying it was a weather balloon.
Names of Haut’s supervisors in the affidavit were redacted in Friday’s release.
Haut said before he left the base, someone, whose name has been withheld by the Pentagon, took him to Building 84, a hangar on the east side of the tarmac at the Roswell Army Airfield, now known as the Roswell Air Center. Building 84 is now used at the air center for commercial aircraft maintenance.
The building was under heavy guard, he said. Once inside, he was allowed to observe an object just recovered north of town, he said. The object was about 12 to 15 feet long, not quite as wide, and about 6 feet high, with an “egg shape,” he described. Haut also said the surface of the object was metallic-looking with no windows, portholes, wings, tail section, or landing gear.
US DOJ Is Reviewing Forceful Ejection of Brandi Kruse and Fans Wearing XX-XY Shirts at Friday’s Portland Thorns Female Soccer Game
As reported earlier… Independent journalist Brandi Kruse says she was physically removed from a Portland Thorns female professional soccer game simply for wearing a shirt supporting sex-based protections in women’s athletics.
Kruse, host of the independent political commentary program unDivided, was escorted out of Providence Park in Portland, Oregon, on Friday night, October 23, during a National Women’s Soccer League match between the Portland Thorns FC and North Carolina Courage.
Her offense was wearing a T-shirt from XX-XY Athletics, a sportswear company founded by former Levi’s executive Jennifer Sey that advocates preserving female athletic categories based on biological sex.
Kruse said she and other supporters peacefully wore their shirts before being confronted and assaulted by opposing fans.
Then, according to her account, stadium security ultimately removed her group rather than the individuals she accused of attacking them.
FBI Arrests CIA Contractor Accused of Leaking TOP-SECRET Intelligence to His ‘Journalist’ Girlfriend — Classified Information Allegedly Published on Substack
The FBI has arrested a CIA contractor accused of systematically pulling TOP SECRET national defense information outside the scope of his duties and feeding it to his romantic partner, a left-leaning independent journalist who published matching material on her Substack newsletter.
Ian A. Brinksman, 42, of Washington, D.C., was taken into custody Friday following a search of his residence and charged by criminal complaint with unlawfully transmitting national defense information in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(d). The case was filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, Newsmax reported.
An Original Classification Authority has confirmed that five Substack articles contained classified information reflecting the contents of TOP SECRET reports Brinksman accessed, some carrying TS/SCI banners that by definition could cause exceptionally grave damage to national security if disclosed without authorization.
According to the sworn FBI affidavit by Special Agent John W. Althen, Brinksman held a TS/SCI clearance and worked inside a SCIF for a U.S. government agency (identified in public reporting and by CIA Director John Ratcliffe as the CIA) beginning around 2020 before shifting in September 2022 to a systems integration developer role for a third-party contractor supporting the same agency.
His duties included data transfers between classified and unclassified systems. None of the five reports he accessed were within the scope of his work.
The affidavit details a repeating pattern across 2026: contact with “Individual 1” (identified in contemporaneous reporting as Aída Chávez, founder of the Capital & Empire Substack), followed by Brinksman accessing a TOP SECRET report in the classified database, additional calls, and then a Substack post with overlapping content.
Phone records show more than 800 calls or attempted calls between the pair this year. Badge-swipe data, facility entry/exit logs, and short windows outside the secure facility (where personal cell phones are not permitted) align with the communications.
Michigan Retiree Without Internet Connection Credited with $4,500 in ActBlue Donations
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff said in a Wednesday report that federal records had tied an 88-year-old retiree in Milan, Michigan, to nearly $4,500 in new ActBlue donations over six weeks, among them four logged on a day she had no internet access.
LeDuff reported that 562 transactions were attributed to Elizabeth Waffle during that stretch. Four of them, totaling $22, posted the very day he first visited her rural trailer, where the power, water, and internet are all off.
During that first visit, LeDuff and Waffle tried to make a donation together and could not get online.
“Last time we were here, remember, we tried to make a donation,” LeDuff said, recounting the exchange in a follow-up interview.
Among the new transactions was $51 logged for Abdul El-Sayed, whom LeDuff called “the king of the Michigan micro-donors.” El-Sayed won the Democrat Senate primary in August by under a percentage point and faces Republican Mike Rogers in November, in a contest analysts rate as a possible tipping point for Senate control.
The retiree lost her house to a fire two years ago and has lived in the trailer since. She said the figures made no sense to her. Federal filings reviewed in July had attributed 14,696 donations to her over five years — roughly eight a day — a tally LeDuff put at more than $130,000.
When the reporter returned last week with printouts, the widow turned on him, asking whether he was building a hit piece on the platform.
“I think it’s a bunch of hogwash,” Waffle said.
She suggested Republicans cheat too, and agreed when LeDuff asked if her view was to “fight fire with fire.” Then she softened.
“I believe in honesty,” she said. “I do care if somebody is fudging and putting stuff in.”
Asked whether she wanted him to keep looking, Waffle agreed. “Yeah, if they are,” she said.
Not every independent review matches the Michigan Enjoyer’s totals. The Center Square reported that FEC records show $100,295 in contributions tied to Waffle’s name across three cycles, and noted that ActBlue’s Tandem Fundraising tool can split a single donation form across many campaigns, generating multiple logged transactions from one gift.
The renewed attention follows months of federal scrutiny of the Democrat fundraising platform. ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment rights before the House Administration Committee this year. President Donald Trump directed the Justice Department in April 2025 to examine whether online fundraising platforms had processed illegal contributions.
AOC’s ‘Tax the Rich’ Campaign Spent About $47K on 45 Luxury Hotel Stays
Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s re-election campaign has spent roughly $47,000 on 45 hotel stays nationwide since April, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
The spending, reviewed by the New York Post, includes multiple charges at properties rated luxury, upscale, or upper-upscale while the far-left congresswoman continues to attack wealth and “the oligarchy.”
The largest bill was $5,044 at The Memphian, a boutique hotel in Memphis that features spa services and an animal-themed rooftop bar.
The campaign also paid $2,694 and $1,599 at The Candler Hotel in Atlanta, a four-star historic property with an acclaimed restaurant, and $2,274 at The Talbott in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. Rooms at these hotels typically run from roughly $130 to $600 per night depending on the property and date.
Additional charges include $530.46 at the Thompson Central Park hotel in Manhattan, where rooms can reach $1,852 a night, and $318 at the Hyatt Seville NoMad.
The campaign also splurged for luxury transportation, including more than $1,400 to the chauffeur service BlackLane and hundreds more to other car services.
Despite her “Eat the Rich” persona, Ocasio-Cortez clearly enjoys the perks of wealth.
In 2025, AOC’s campaign spent approximately $53,500 on luxury and boutique hotels, including thousands at properties in Puerto Rico around the time she attended a Bad Bunny concert and posted about gentrification on the island.
Benjamin Netanyahu Signals Massive West Bank Operation After Hebron Attack — Days Before Election
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that Israel is preparing a massive military operation in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, on a scale not seen since the 1967 Six-Day War, after Palestinian terrorists killed two Israeli soldiers near Hebron, just four days before Israel’s national election.
Speaking after a security assessment, Netanyahu said the planned operation would be unprecedented in scope.
“The defense minister and I have overseen the planning of a very extensive IDF operation in Judea and Samaria — on a scale not seen since the Six-Day War,” he said.
“The IDF is ready to carry it out, and we will determine the timing, but it is coming.”
The announcement followed a deadly shooting at a temporary military checkpoint near Yehuda Junction outside Hebron, where two Palestinian terrorists opened fire on Israeli soldiers Friday morning.
The attack killed Staff Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, of Ashkelon, and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, of Hod Hasharon, both members of the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) 775th Ari Battalion. Three additional soldiers were wounded.
Israeli forces killed both attackers following a firefight lasting more than 20 minutes.
The IDF’s preliminary investigation found that the terrorists apparently intended to attack Israeli civilians along a nearby highway but instead opened fire on soldiers after encountering the checkpoint.
The military said the attackers were carrying substantial quantities of ammunition, suggesting they had planned a larger assault.
Gen Z Is Broke and Fed Up With Politics
At Thanksgiving last year, a great-aunt tried to offer Kayla Cornett a reassuring example: Her older cousin had worked hard, saved and bought a house. Cornett, 24, could do the same, she said — if she tried just a little bit harder.
What stayed with her long after the turkey was cleared was the implication that her current efforts just weren’t enough. She was trying to keep up with rent and the ordinary expenses of adulthood, and it was a struggle. She recently started carrying a credit-card balance for the first time, she says, after even modest costs began piling up. Filling her gas tank was $40. “I can not eat, or I can have credit card debt,” she remembers thinking when older relatives questioned her balance.
Cornett and her partner have stayed in their Raleigh apartment even as the complex has grown less safe and cars have been broken into. They had moved in 2023 and were reluctant to do so again; other places now cost $200 or $300 more per month. Leaving would mean trading one worry for another bill they can’t afford.
“The little things are accruing in a way that feels insurmountable to me,” Cornett says.
The affordability crisis is a struggle felt by everyone in the country, but it’s hitting Cornett’s generation particularly hard as they emerge into adulthood with high inflation, little savings, a wobbly job market and a lifetime of dysfunctional politics. Transunion, a consumer credit reporting agency, found in a 2024 study that 22- to 24-year-olds in Gen Z had higher average credit-card balances, higher average auto-loan balances and higher average personal-loan balances than millennials of the same age a decade earlier, even when adjusted for inflation. Gen Z borrowers also had higher delinquency rates than their millennial counterparts.
This gap — between the promise that hard work will bring stability and the costs young adults say they can’t get ahead of — is key to understanding the politics of Gen Z, a voter group that helped President Donald Trump win in 2024, but whose longtime loyalties have yet to be won by either party.
After Trump’s victory, much was made of a vibe shift in American politics. The manosphere was ascendant and tradwives were everywhere. For a brief moment, it seemed like conservatives had captured the attention of American youth. Perhaps. Or perhaps Trump pulled in young voters because of his promises to rein in high prices, and since he failed to do so — amid his tariffs and his war with Iran — young people are preparing to reject the GOP in droves in the midterms.
Gen Z’s political behavior is often viewed through the lens of cultural issues or internet trends. But based on a dozen interviews with Gen Zers from across the country, those explanations obscure a more fundamental force: They belong to a generation coming of age with less financial security and with a growing sense that the American economy doesn’t deliver, at least not for them. A crushing debt load is the most tangible proof.
“The first time I voted was the 2024 presidential election,” says Anna Yi, a 21-year-old Democrat studying at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. “I remember being a little bit naive and being like, ‘There’s going to be a lot of change. There’s going to be a lot of sweeping social reform and whatnot.’ Now it’s: Who’s going to get me a job? Who’s going to let me afford my own place before I turn 40?”
DOJ Rushes to Block California From Counting 20,000 Ballots Tied to Suspected Noncitizens Before Votes Are Mixed Forever
The Justice Department is seeking an emergency order from the Ninth Circuit to stop California from counting mail-in ballots linked to more than 20,000 people federal investigators have flagged as likely noncitizens, warning that once the ballots are separated from their envelopes, the damage cannot be undone.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli and Attorney General Todd Blanche are leading the effort after a district court did not act on their earlier request to review the citizenship of individuals believed to be noncitizens.
The motion names California, Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, and Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan as defendants and seeks a ruling by Saturday.
California and Weber oppose the request.
Federal officials say U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Homeland Security Investigations reviewed California voter registration data against federal immigration records and identified more than 20,000 registered voters who received mail ballots and are considered highly likely to be noncitizens.
Federal law, of course, bars noncitizens from voting in federal elections.
Essayli told Fox News that the 20,000 figure is the floor and that more names are expected.
Why Are Scientists Suddenly So Concerned About An Asteroid Hitting Earth?
Authorities assure us that we are perfectly safe and that no giant space rocks are heading our way. If that is true, why is a scenario that has been developed for the 2027 Planetary Defense Conference “based around a hypothetical impact threat” from a very large asteroid? And why are scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory studying how to destroy a giant asteroid that is heading toward Earth using nuclear weapons? If there is no threat anywhere on the horizon, wouldn’t you think that those scientists would have something better to do with their time? On top of everything else, NASA recently concluded a secretive operation known as “OSIRIS-REx” in which a spacecraft visited an asteroid, plucked a piece off of it, and returned it to Earth. While the general public is being told that we are safe for decades to come, a tremendous amount of time, money and energy is being poured into preparing for a potential asteroid threat.
Do they know something that the rest of us do not?
I am convinced that there is far more going on behind the scenes than we are being told.
They never say anything that will alarm the general public, but at the same time they are pumping vast resources into “sophisticated planetary defense efforts” that are intended to protect our planet “from potentially hazardous asteroids”…
Would we be prepared if a potentially life-threatening object from space were on a collision course with Earth? And how much damage could an incoming asteroid actually cause?
Such questions remain at the forefront of increasingly sophisticated planetary defense efforts aimed at protecting our planet from potentially hazardous asteroids. Yet even if astronomers are able to identify a space object that might pose a threat, a significant number of uncertainties remain: the object’s size, composition, structure, and potential impact locations all must be considered, as these factors can dramatically influence what happens once an asteroid enters Earth’s atmosphere.
If there are no near-Earth objects that are a threat, why spend so much money on this?
We certainly have a lot of other very pressing matters that do require funding right now.
NASA is either wasting our money, or something else is going on.
Interestingly, NASA is a participant in the 2027 Planetary Defense Conference. An exercise is underway that simulates how authorities would respond to a “Tunguska-sized object” that is headed toward Earth…
Additionally, NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) regularly participates in planetary defense exercises designed to test these assessment methods, with current scenarios under development for the 2027 Planetary Defense Conference that take a cue from one of history’s most concerning airburst events.
“The current exercise that is underway for the 2027 Planetary Defense Conference is based around a hypothetical impact threat from a roughly Tunguska-sized object,” Wheeler told The Debrief.
For those of you that are not familiar, in 1908 the Tunguska event flattened approximately 2,000 square kilometers in Siberia…
Tunguska event, enormous explosion that is estimated to have occurred at 7:14 AM plus or minus one minute on June 30, 1908, at an altitude of 5-10 km (15,000-30,000 feet), flattening some 2,000 square km (500,000 acres) and charring more than 100 square km of pine forest near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in central Siberia (60°55′ N 101°57′ E), Russia. The energy of the explosion is estimated to have been equivalent to the explosive force of as much as 15 megatons of TNT – a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945.
Why hold an exercise of this nature if there is absolutely no threat of this sort of event occurring for decades to come?
And why did NASA just send a small spacecraft to grab a piece of an asteroid known as Bennu and bring it back to Earth?…
On Sept. 30, NASA formally concluded OSIRIS-REx, the historic first U.S. mission to pluck a pristine piece of an asteroid and deliver it safely back to Earth.
The van-sized OSIRIS-REx spacecraft – whose name is short for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer – visited and sampled Bennu, an ancient space rock holding pristine remnants from the dawn of our solar system more than 4.5 billion years ago. Among those cosmic relics are raw organic building blocks, the kind that may have seeded life on Earth.
“I have known this day was coming for a long time, but it is still difficult to see it arrive,” OSIRIS-REx Principal Investigator Dante Lauretta, who’s based at the University of Arizona, said in a post on LinkedIn. “I feel enormous pride in what we accomplished together, and real sadness that this journey has come to an end.”
That was certainly an impressive scientific achievement.
But it also cost a lot of money to do that.
