What If It’s All Bullshit?

I have written many different angles on the very strange world of UFOs, and in every one of them, I have acknowledged the possibility that this thing I am digging into could be a work of fiction, even though my current assessment of the situation is that there is something very real and very odd going on here. Any good investigator has to price in the fact that their present interpretation of the facts could just be flat out wrong, and sometimes the best leads come from those realizations. Jacques Vallée, a famed scientist before he became the face of scientific interrogation of UFOs, wrote a whole book about UFO stories he debunked and tracked down to intelligence agencies. He is known for his more fanciful theories, but Revelations is what sold me on his credibility as one of the government’s lead investigators on UFOs for decades, as he clearly knows more about debunked UFO stories than all the professional debunkers do combined. This is a minefield of bullshit not because of some stereotypical drunk country bumpkin reporting the International Space Station to MUFON, or some kid dangling a small saucer in front of his phone for a Tik Tok video, but because UFOs are riddled with intelligence agency lies.

Lies are like a pocket-knife in the spook world, they can be used towards a wide variety of ends, but a common and benign one is that a faked UFO story is a great way to plant and then keep track of a unique lie as it gets digested by another country’s intelligence apparatus, providing the country who created the lie with some insight into how the other one analyzes and collects intelligence. This is something that my source who worked a job involving UFOs explained to me as a matter of routine in every country (Vallée wrote about it too), and pointed me towards the CIA disclosing that in the 1950s they feared a faked UFO invasion could be used as cover to spur panic ahead of a real Soviet invasion. This subject has always been enmeshed in intelligence, which abets the choose-your-own-adventure nature of it.

Alleged Meteorite with Alien Life Found in Panama Shakes Social Media

A bizarre story from Panama has been captivating social media users, after a local man claimed to have discovered a meteorite from which alien life has been slowly emerging. The user from Pedregal, Panama, known as @kinpanama on TikTok, began posting videos on August 29 documenting the strange growth. In his footage, what appears at first to be a rock slowly develops a gelatinous, greenish-yellow substance resembling algae, before transforming into a darker, more elaborate structure.

Alleged Panama alien meteorite shakes social media

In the first video, the user presents the alleged meteorite, calling it an “interplanetary visitor,” which he interprets as a major first for Panama.

After a few days, the entity changes, producing a viscous substance resembling algae, and this in less than 72 hours. According to the Panama man, the alleged meteorite “smells like burning, and the smell keeps getting stronger.” He says he alerted the local university, but no one has shown up yet.

Did China just shoot down a UFO with a missile? Bright flash over Shandong deepens the mystery after authorities deny knowledge

A fireball-like luminous event was reported over eastern China on September 12, 2025. Witnesses in Weifang and Rizhao, Shandong Province, observed a bright aerial object followed by a strong flash, with videos of the incident quickly spreading across Chinese social media platforms.

According to The Watchers, several posts and local headlines described the event as a possible intercept or shoot-down, suggesting a second rising light was visible before the flash. The claims fueled speculation online of a potential military action. An X user, ‘jacksonhinklle,’ also posted the video.

Active duty Navy chief who witnessed UFO convinced doubtful colleagues with radar expertise: ‘It was like checkmate’

An active-duty Navy chief saw four tic-tac shaped UFOs off the coast of California while working on the USS Jackson — and convinced a doubting radar officer the craft were real with an undeniable “checkmate.”

US Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Alexandro Wiggins witnessed multiple UFOs on radar on the evening of February 15, 2023 — observing the first one emerge seamlessly out of the ocean, he said.

“What am I seeing?” recounted Chief Wiggins, who spoke to The Post on behalf of himself as an individual and not as a representative of the Navy. “From my observations, it did in fact come from the water.”

“It was first seen on radar and once I saw it on radar, I wanted to confirm visually what I was seeing on radar if it was clouds and atmospherics and something else.”

Wiggins then moved out to the core bridge wing of the USS Jackson and went through his mental checklist of things the object could be — but was convinced by an odd maneuver it made that it was not standard human technology.

“It [was] rising into the air high enough to where I’m like, alright, that’s definitely: A. too fast and B. not something I’ve seen before,” the 21-year Navy veteran said.

The keen-eyed officer saw three other objects moving in coordination roughly 8 nautical miles away from the USS Jackson — then reported the unknown objects to a tactical officer and rushed to observe the craft on a Sapphire radar.

SHOCKING REVELATION: New Military Surveillance Video Shows Glowing UFO Splitting a Hellfire Missile Mid-Air — Witnesses Admit No Known U.S. Technology Can Do This

On Tuesday morning, Capitol Hill was rocked by the release of a never-before-seen military surveillance video showing what appears to be a glowing orb, an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), shrugging off a U.S. Hellfire missile like it was a paper airplane.

The 100-pound air-to-ground missile literally bounced off the craft, barely leaving an impact, before the UAP shot away at impossible speeds.

The shocking footage, captured by an MQ-9 Reaper drone off the coast of Yemen on October 30, 2024, was unveiled by Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) during the latest congressional hearing on UAPs.

SHOCK TESTIMONY: U.S. Air Force Veteran Reveals He Witnessed a Silent 100-Foot TRIANGLULAR UFO at Langley AFB — Shot Into the Sky in Seconds

Congress heard jaw-dropping testimony today during the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets’ hearing titled “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection.”

Task Force Chairwoman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) blasted the federal government and intelligence community for deliberately keeping Americans in the dark about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs).

Luna stressed the danger of stonewalling the public, warning that UAP secrecy directly undermines U.S. national security and erodes trust in our Republic.

U.S. Air Force Veteran Dylan Borland, a former geospatial intelligence specialist for the U.S. Air Force and senior defense analyst for BAE Systems and Intrepid Solutions, described a chilling 2012 encounter while stationed at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

At approximately 1:30 a.m., Borland reported witnessing a massive, 100-foot equilateral triangular craft silently emerge near the NASA hangar on base.

After reporting the incident, Borland revealed that his professional career was deliberately obstructed after his experience.

He says government agencies manipulated his security clearance, falsified records, and blacklisted him to prevent him from continuing to work in the intelligence community.

He went further, disclosing that he had been exposed to classified details of the UAP Legacy Crash Retrieval Program, a program he alleges is hiding recovered craft and technologies of unknown origin from both Congress and the American public.

Military Officials Describe UFO Sightings, Demand Government Transparency

Several former and current U.S. military officials described sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) to Congress on Sept. 9 and called on the Pentagon to be more transparent about its disclosures on the phenomenon.

During a House Oversight subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, titled “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection,” several past and present Department of Defense officials testified that they had witnessed UFOs—which the Pentagon now refers to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP)—while serving in the military.

The hearing also featured a new, never-before-seen video of an alleged UFO recorded near the coast of Yemen in October 2024.

Air Force veteran Dylan Borland told lawmakers that he encountered “sustained reprisals” and retaliation from the Pentagon after whistleblowing about an alleged UFO he saw while working at a military base in 2012.

“I saw an approximately 100-foot equilateral triangle take off from near the NASA hangar on the base. The craft interferes with my telephone, did not have any sound, and the material it was made of appeared fluid or dynamic,” Borland said.

“I was under the triangular craft for a few minutes, and then it rapidly ascended to commercial jet level in seconds, displaying zero kinetic disturbance, sound, or wind displacement.”

Congress Announces Date for New UFO Hearing

Lawmakers will meet once again to discuss more UFO topics, specifically the subject of whistleblowers. The “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection” hearing is scheduled for September 9. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of the House Oversight Committee announced the event, which will focus on protecting those who report UAP-related spending and shady classification policies.

This follows the “UAP Whistleblower Protection Act” introduced last week by Luna and Rep. Tim Burchett. Both representatives belong to a growing group of policymakers actively pushing for disclosure from the Department of Defense. The new hearing will feature testimony from four witnesses: Air Force veterans Jeffrey Nuccetelli and Dylan Borland, UFO witness Chief Alexandro Wiggins, and Coast to Coast’s own guest host George Knapp, a veteran UFO journalist. All witnesses are expected to voice their concerns for the safety of whistleblowers.

In a press release, Luna emphasized that the American public deserves “maximum transparency” with UFO sightings, acquisitions, and examinations, especially concerning any potential threats to national safety. The 10am hearing is open to members of the press and the public, and will also be livestreamed here.

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS updates: Will we intercept it?

Will we send a spacecraft to intercept 3I/ATLAS?

Scientists first spotted 3I/ATLAS, the 3rd interstellar visitor ever identified in our solar system, in early July 2025. And since then, one question has been asked countless times: will we send out a spacecraft to take a closer look? On August 21, EarthSky’s Will Triggs spoke to University of Edinburgh astronomer Colin Snodgrass to find out the answer. Plus, Colin talked about ESA’s Comet Interceptor, an upcoming spacecraft that will be primed to intercept future interstellar objects. Watch in the player above, or on YouTube.

3I/ATLAS shrinks again

On August 7, 2025, NASA shared a new image of 3I/ATLAS (above) – the world’s 3rd known interstellar object – as well as provided an updated estimate of the size of the object’s nucleus, or core. Shortly after the object was first identified on July 1, 2025, 3I/ATLAS was estimated to have a diameter of about 20 km (12 miles). Then in late July – using data from the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile – the size estimate dropped to 10 km (6 miles). The latest analysis uses data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It reduces the estimated diameter of 3I/ATLAS’s nucleus still further, to 5.6 km (3.5 miles).

And, the astronomers using Hubble data said, the object could be even smaller, as small as 320 meters (1,050 feet) across!

Plus, as you can see from the image, 3I/ ATLAS is looking more and more comet-like as it approaches our sun. It’s currently between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

The two previous known interstellar objects are 1I/ ‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. ‘Oumuamua’s size is thought to be about 200 meters across at its widest (you’ll recall it has an elongated shape). And Borisov is thought to be less than a kilometer across.
