Argentine Lawmaker Proposes UFO Program

In a testament to the global nature of the intrigue surrounding UFOs at the moment, an Argentine lawmaker has introduced a bill for his province to establish a UFO program to study anomalous aerial events and phenomena. According to a local media report, Victor Sanzberro put forward the proposal in the Entre Ríos Senate last week. Dubbed the Provincial Program for Registration of Anomalous Phenomena (PRFA), the project would create a proverbial UFO hotline that anyone in the province could use to report anomalous aerial or aquatic activity, which would then be examined by an enlisted panel of experts and made available to the public.

A social media post from Sanzberro announcing the bill explained that the purpose of the program is for “fishermen, islanders, pilots, and citizens to have an official and respectful space where to report what they see in our skies and rivers.” Clearly a savvy politician, the lawmaker mused that “this initiative seeks to transform decades of civil research into a real science tourism and development opportunity for the region.” To that end, the UFO program would be based in the city of Victoria, which just so happens to be the community Sanzberro represents. “We have to work together to improve this project,” he declared, “and make Entre Rios the first province in the country with a public, serious, and transparent record” on anomalous phenomenon.

Sanzberro’s proposed UFO program is the latest in a trend that just might rival Sasquatch calling contests when it comes to paranormal concepts currently spreading through the zeitgeist. Last week, a British lawmaker found himself the subject of national headlines after he suggested creating a committee to look at anomalous aerial phenomena around a proposed airport. Meanwhile, here in America, proposals for the formation of a UFO group have recently been put forward in multiple state legislatures, including Vermont and New Hampshire, with more likely to follow as the concept and the phenomenon itself continue to captivate lawmakers and the public.

Trump Delivers 160+ UFO Files — Burchett Calls Out Deep State Slow-Walk as Congress Reacts

Multiple members of Congress admitted “I don’t know” when pressed by The Gateway Pundit on Capitol Hill about the more than 160 never-before-seen UFO files the Pentagon released on May 8, 2026, under President Donald Trump’s direct order.

The historic declassification, the first tranche under the new Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, made public military reports, photographs, videos, and astronaut accounts spanning the 1940s to recent years. The files detail rotating saucer-shaped craft over Cold War Europe, metallic elliptical objects hovering motionless, glowing orbs with impossible maneuvers, and anomalous lights near Apollo missions that continue to defy conventional explanation.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., one of Congress’s most vocal and consistent advocates for UAP transparency for years, pulled no punches:

“The deep state’s fighting the president on release…Some of our alphabet agencies are slow walking a lot of information. It’s about power. It’s about control,” Burchett, R-Tenn., told TGP in an exclusive interview.

Burchett, who has long pushed for full disclosure, including introducing the UAP Transparency Act and repeatedly grilling Pentagon officials in hearings, warned that fuller releases could force the government to “admit that they’ve been lying to us all these years” and may involve a “cover-up of zero energy.” He praised Trump for honoring a personal commitment on the issue.

The release includes phenomena strikingly similar to the legendary WWII “Foo Fighters.”

Eight chilling never-before-seen UFO videos at center of explosive disclosure battle detailed by insider

A battle over UFO transparency has erupted in Washington as ‘certain intelligence agencies’ have been accused of withholding evidence from the American public. 

Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told the Daily Mail there is a ‘bottleneck’ inside US Central Command where footage of unidentified flying objects is being blocked from reaching officials seeking access to it.

Corbell said some members of Congress are now ‘dead set’ on forcing the release of the material ‘come hell or high water,’ with some lawmakers prepared to escalate the fight if agencies continue withholding records.

The growing disclosure battle has now centered on 46 classified military UFO videos that lawmakers recently demanded from the Department of War last month, which have yet to be released.

Eight of those highly anticipated clips appear in Corbell’s documentary Sleeping Dog, where viewers are shown brief glimpses of what he described as unresolved UFO encounters collected by the US military.

Corbell stressed the footage shown in the film represents only ‘tiny glimpses’ of a much larger archive of sensitive material tied to sensitive defense operations and unexplained aerial incidents.

Among the footage referenced by Corbell is what he described as full-color ‘satellite footage’ and ‘full motion video’ of mysterious flying objects that he believes Americans ‘need to be able to assess’ for themselves.

Corbell said the documentary was created not only to reveal pieces of the evidence, but to expose what he called the broader resistance against journalists, whistleblowers and transparency efforts surrounding UFO disclosure.

But whistleblower David Grusch claimed the disclosure effort is already facing resistance from within the intelligence community.

Speaking to FOX News on May 8, Grusch said: ‘It has come to my attention, actually, recently as of today, there are some actors within certain intelligence agencies, to include DIA and CIA specifically, that are actually blocking some of the president’s, a Presidentially appointed team in getting access and getting control of some of these historical records.’

The allegations fueled outrage among disclosure advocates, including Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison, who warned Wednesday on X: ‘More is still classified, and I’ve seen some of it. If the administration doesn’t release it, I will, under Speech or Debate.’

Astronauts Saw Strange Things in Space: UFO Files

The United States Defense/War Department published on Friday previously classified documents related to “aliens” and UFO/unidentified anomalous phenomena sightings. The drop includes transcripts of astronauts reporting strange lights and objects during space missions in the ’60s and ’70s.

Not the Whole Story

But, according to a member of Congress who has been very invested in this issue, the interesting stuff is yet to come. Around the same time, he also said the public will never be told everything. “The 1st drop will be big but in comparison to what is coming they will be a drop in the bucket,” Tennessee’s Republican Rep. Tim Burchett said on X Friday morning. “I would say ‘Holy Crap’ is coming.”

Burchett has made many comments over the last few months suggesting the government is concealing bombshell information about non-human intelligent beings on this planet. As a member of Congress, he has received briefings that include information not available to the public. The big questions are: How much of the information that he and other members of Congress have received is legitimate, and how much of it is mis- or disinformation?

In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Burchett likened UFO-alien disclosure to MKUltra, the illegal CIA mind-control and human-experimentation program. In 1973, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered most MKUltra files to be destroyed. The order was carried out by Sidney Gottlieb, the chemist who had been the longtime head of the program. Investigators on the Church Committee — the senate committee tasked in the mid-’70s with investigating questionable CIA activity — had to rely mostly on survivor testimony and the few remaining documents to get a glimpse into the program. To this day, it is generally agreed the public knows only a fraction of what the government did in it.

When it comes to “aliens” and UFOs, Burchett told Rogan, “It’s kinda like MK Ultra. …They’re not going to tell us everything. … I don’t think they’re going to give us half of what we should get.”

Two feds nicknamed the ‘Alien Girls’ attempting to interview UFO witnesses at military bases around country

They are the Women in Black.

A pair of Government Accountability Office workers nicknamed the “Alien Girls” are touring military bases in an attempt to interview purported UFO witnesses, The Post has learned.

The non-partisan legislative-branch agency launched its probe of UFO disclosures and claims it is reviewing the practices of previous executive-branch alien investigators.

The two unidentified female investigators quickly move from formalities in the interviews to directly asking if their subject has witnessed unexplained craft, sources with direct knowledge of the interviews said.

They also offer their interviewees a classified setting where they can share their out-of-this-world tales, sources said.

Some of those interviewed questioned whether the GAO alien girls had high enough clearance to hear the classified information that some UFO witnesses would be able to share from their personal experiences. 

The agency claimed that their investigation is focused on previous government investigations into UFOs — and that the results will be keep under lock and key.

LUNAR ENCOUNTERS: Newly Released Documents Reveal Apollo Astronauts Saw UFOs From the Moon Surface

‘One step for man’, and unidentified flying objects above.

The first batch of the mega UFO documents released by the Donald J. Trump administration brings information about encounters witnessed by the Apollo astronauts.

When landing on the moon, the astronauts saw unidentified flying objects (UFOs) floating nearby on at least two separate missions.

The Telegraph reported:

“A photograph from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, the last time humans set foot on the lunar surface, shows three mysterious dots in a triangular formation floating in the sky.

Another photograph taken from the surface of the moon during the Apollo 12 mission, in 1969, appeared to show a vertical blue hazy phenomenon passing by.”

The ‘never-before-seen’ documents represent an unprecedented level of transparency, according to the Pentagon.

“[The Pentagon] added that Donald Trump – whose department of justice was heavily criticized over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files – ‘is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files’.”

‘Super-hot’ orbs chased US fighter jets in terrifying close encounter reported in UFO files

The UFO files have revealed chilling encounters involving swarms of mysterious orbs chasing US military aircraft and sightings of four-foot-tall beings emerging from unidentified craft.

The bombshell FBI documents, released by the Trump administration, detailed incidents spanning decades, from humanoid occupants reported in the 1960s to a dramatic confrontation involving intelligence agents last year.

One heavily redacted FBI report described a senior US intelligence officer recounting a nighttime mission in a remote mountain range near a classified government site.

According to the report, intelligence personnel, federal agents and helicopter crews were dispatched after local staff repeatedly reported seeing strange glowing ‘orbs’ and hearing loud ‘thuds’ near the mountains.

But when the team arrived, they allegedly encountered swarms of highly maneuverable objects that appeared extremely hot on thermal cameras despite flying through the darkness.

The report stated that the unidentified orbs easily outran military helicopters before later pursuing fighter aircraft called in to intercept them.

At one point during the encounter, a co-pilot aboard the lead helicopter reportedly watched one orb split into two separate objects before another object suddenly ’emerged’ from the formation and shot away at high speed.

Another section of the FBI records detailed alleged encounters with mysterious crewmen said to be between three and a half and four feet tall, ‘wearing what appear to be space suits and helmets,’ who reportedly exited unidentified flying objects.

FBI files reveal reports of ‘four-foot tall’ beings emerging from UFOs

Newly released FBI files have revealed shocking details of mysterious four-foot-tall crewmen exiting a UFO in the 1960s.

The documents, released Friday as part of the Trump administration’s UFO disclosure, detailed how investigators reviewed reports that 1965 marked ‘the year of the greatest number of UFO sightings’ observed by multiple witnesses across the world.

The FBI summarized reports of metallic craft capable of hovering silently, reaching ‘fantastic speeds’ and interfering with electromagnetic equipment.

The files also referenced that wreckage from crashed saucers had been recovered on multiple occasions, including materials described as unknown metals containing microscopic spheres.

But one of the most startling sections involved testimonies of encounters with apparent occupants of the craft.

‘A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who had landed from the objects,’ the document stated, describing the beings as ‘three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what appear to be space suits and helmets.’

The FBI records were among hundreds of newly released files, photographs and videos published Friday under President Donald Trump’s long-awaited UFO transparency initiative.

Hundreds of records, photos and videos were uploaded to the Department of War’s website, including NASA mission transcripts, military incident reports and infrared images captured during aerial encounters.

Mysterious footage captures peculiar ‘eight-pointed star’ streaking across sky: UFO files

Mysterious footage released in the Pentagon’s UFO files on Friday appeared to capture a bizarre “eight-pointed star” streaking across the sky several years back.

The infrared clip, submitted by US Central Command personnel, showed the strange-shaped object appearing to float around in 2013, according to the newly released files.

The footage, which lasts nearly two minutes, was apparently shot from an “infrared sensor aboard a US military platform.”

“This video depicts an area of contrast resembling an eight-pointed star with arms of alternating length,” a description on the UFO files website reads.

A note on the site later warns that the video description is for informational purposes and that “readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination.”

The footage was among the trove of 162 files made public when the Department of War unveiled its highly anticipated website dedicated solely to UFOs.

Trump admin releases highly anticipated files documenting UFOs, ‘extraterrestrial life’

The Trump administration on Friday released a batch of “never-before-seen” files and videos on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP) as part of an effort to increase transparency on government knowledge of extraterrestrial phenomena.

“The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place – no clearance required. While past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files,” the White House said in a statement to Fox News.

The release is a function of President Donald Trump’s Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) program.

Photos from the initial disclosure, which a White House official told Fox News is the first of a series of releases, show strangely shaped objects captured on film during the Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 space missions.

One photo taken from the surface of the moon appears to show a cluster of three tiny dots in the sky.
