Cigar-Shaped Glowing UFO Captured on Military-Grade Night Vision in Montana; What Does This Mean for UFO Research?

A military-grade night vision video from Montana recently caught a bright, glowing UFO in the shape of a “cigar.” This has sparked a lot of interest in the field of UFO study.

The Intriguing Sighting in the Skies

In June, a person in Montana saw a slow-moving, silent object. It looked like a blur to the naked eye but was clearer through a night vision camera.

The defense contractor SiOnyx made the camera, which showed a long cylinder-shaped light moving across the starry sky before going behind a mountain range. Even though incident occurred near Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, the video contained no commercial air movement sounds.

Alejandro Rojas, an assistant to Enigma Labs, said that the object looked a lot like Starlink satellites but was seen as a single, solid object. The video was sent to Enigma Labs for further research.

They keep a complete UAP database. Rojas talked about how important these videos are for helping people and scientists understand UFO sightings.

Historical Background and Technological Insights

This sighting could not have been possible without the SiOnyx night vision camera. People using SiOnyx’s consumer models have said they have problems with high light contrast, which can make lit things look like one solid mass. This could explain why the UFO looked like a glowing sphere instead of clear lights.

As early as the late 1800s, people have seen UFOs that look like cigars. These things, often called “airships,” have been a common theme in UFO stories for a long time. In 1977, 15 Broad Haven, Wales, students said they saw a silver plane resembling a cigar. Researchers are still interested in and confused by these sightings.

Lack of Transparency Surrounding U.S. Government’s Former UAP Office Director Raises Concerns

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) cannot explain why the former Director of its Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) office’s prior involvement with UAP was not disclosed to the media and public at the time of his appointment or during his tenure.

Recently, the DoD confirmed to Liberation Times that in 2018, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the former Director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), attended a meeting on the Hill about Skinwalker Ranch—famed for its ties to UAP.

A DoD spokesperson told Liberation Times:

‘Dr. Kirkpatrick had no involvement with Skinwalker Ranch.  He attended one meeting on it on the Hill in 2018, which he has publicly acknowledged.’

Liberation Times asked the DoD why Dr. Kirkpatrick’s attendance was never previously made public and whether he had disclosed this fact before his appointment to the AARO.

In response, a DoD spokesperson stated:

‘We cannot comment on the interviews that occur during the hiring process, including what was or was not discussed during them.

‘We do not comment on internal discussions and deliberations between a director and his staff nor between a director and senior officials above him.’

This situation is problematic for the DoD, as the AARO’s creation was supposed to begin a new chapter of transparency regarding the UAP topic within the U.S. government. 

It is unclear whether the blame lies with the DoD for failing to disclose Kirkpatrick’s involvement with the meeting, or with Kirkpatrick himself, who may not have informed the DoD before taking the role.

The situation also calls into question other aspects of Kirkpatrick’s background and AARO’s investigations which may have also been omitted.

His attendance of the meeting was in the public interest and is indicative of Kirkpatrick’s awareness of the topic of UAP before joining AARO.

UFO whistleblower says he’s being threatened as congressman warns protections are a ‘joke’

UFO whistleblowers are being threatened, and protections currently in place “are a joke,” a congressman told Fox News Digital. 

Lue Elizondo, who was the head of a secretive Pentagon unit that studied UFOs, said there have been threats against him and “several other whistleblowers formerly associated with the UAP [unidentified anomalous phenomena] effort for the U.S. Government.”

“I would like to make this perfectly clear to the American people. I am not prone to accidents. I am not suicidal. I am not abusing drugs. I am not engaged in any illicit activities,” Elizondo said in a statement to “The Good Trouble Show” on May 15.

“If something happens to me or my family members in the future, you will know what happened.”

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who has been one of the lawmakers leading the push for full UFO disclosure, is a personal friend of Elizondo.

“There is whistleblower protection, but it’s a joke, and we know it’s a joke,” Burchett told Fox News Digital.

Group of scientists and researchers seeks access to Vatican archives on the UFO phenomenon

A group of scientists and researchers are seeking access to the Vatican’s Apostolic Archives to uncover information about UFOs and the paranormal, believing there may be traces among the 50 miles of shelves that contain everything from handwritten papal notes to presidential missives.

The decades-long effort gained momentum in 2023 following congressional testimony by former U.S. intelligence official David Grusch alleging the Vatican’s involvement in an international cover-up of alien secrets.

Grusch claimed that Pope Pius XII “back-channeled” information to the United States about a crashed UFO recovered by fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.

“I don’t know where [Grusch] got this information,” Marco Grilli, the mayor’s secretary for archives, told Catholic News Service on June 11.

Grilli said the archives received emails asking about the veracity of Grusch’s claims, but compared them to requests to read personal letters from Pontius Pilate or the Virgin Mary.

“You can laugh at that,” he said.

However, discoveries like those reported in Diana Walsh Pasulka’s 2019 book “American Cosmic” suggest to UFO enthusiasts that the archives contain more than meets the eye.

Pasulka, a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, said the archives are full of reports of paranormal events, such as nuns witnessing orbs entering their cells, flying houses and other aerial phenomena.

She argues that these events can be better understood as UFO-type occurrences rather than miracles as Catholics traditionally understand them.

“The historical record is full of these types of events,” she told CNS on May 30; “people in the Vatican don’t even know where to look; It’s in their basements.”

MUFON to Unveil Astonishing UAP Material Test Results at Symposium

In what is being called “The most important UAP related-presentation MUFON has ever made,” THE MUTUAL UFO NETWORK (MUFON) will reveal details about a UAP Materials case it recently received from Russia in an exclusive live event on Saturday, July 13th, 2024, at 8 PM Central Daylight Time. The case will be presented both in-person and via livestream at MUFON’s Annual Symposium, revealing the story behind mysterious materials delivered to the home of a Russian UFO Investigator with evidence of a cover-up. 

Tests by Russian labs, later corroborated by MUFON’s own U.S. lab, confirm the material is of unknown origin. While virtually any material can be identified by its components from the periodic table, unknown combinations or isotopic ratios can often point to a mysterious origin of samples. In this case, 90% of the sample is made of materials that labs were unable to identify.

The story becomes even more compelling as some of the samples sent for additional testing were stolen from an official U.S. Post Office box shortly after they arrived for retrieval by MUFON Investigator Robert Spearing. On top of this, cameras were turned against a wall, inhibiting investigation—although postal workers testify that they delivered the box.

“This is typical with evidence of this nature. We believe that this material was deliberately taken by someone who could hack into a locked Post Office Box to prevent further testing. Who did it is anybody’s guess,” stated MUFON Media Relations Director Ron James.

“The evidence that supports this story, and others that we will share at the Symposium, could make this the biggest UFO-related news event of the year. We have physical materials and more evidence of non-human technology,” said James.

New ‘compelling evidence’ found at Roswell UFO site could prove alien craft crashed in 1947, experts say

America’s most famous UFO case is still producing more evidence as scientists and civilians are on a mission to prove that the Roswell crash was not of this world. 

The 1947 incident made headlines when the US Army Air Force issued a press release stating that it had recovered debris from a ‘flying disc’ — only later to reverse course, claiming that the material had really just belonged to a downed weather balloon.

Geologist Frank Kimbler is among the many experts who have challenged the military’s official version of what crashed on the outskirts of this New Mexico town, where he has scoured the alleged UFO’s crash site with a metal detector since 2010.

Kimbler has since uncovered over 20 unusual scraps of metal material, most no bigger than a fingernail, and has now submitted one uniquely odd metal for testing to the Discovery Channel’s new series ‘Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction.’

Testing revealed that the metal was ‘100-percent pure aluminum,’ which experts said was ‘compelling evidence’ that could prove aliens crashed in the area decades ago.

‘I was really trying to champion truth throughout,’ the new series’ cohost, Chrissy Newton, told DailyMail.com, adding that she was not afraid to debunk a few celebrated UFO cases, if that’s where the facts led.

‘I want to prove that it’s identifiable,’ Newton said, ‘not everyone’s gonna like that.’

Nevertheless, Newton found the tests on the pure aluminum mystery metal to be compelling, she said, in part because a former Pentagon UFO investigator has told her that ‘pure aluminum has been connected to multiple other UFO crash sites.’

While Newton did not name her Pentagon source, she described them as ‘a source formerly from AATIP,’ the US military’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which from 2007 to 2012 had been tasked (in part) with studying UFOs.

UFOs soar from taboo to presidential: ‘Time has come to inject UAPs into the … elections,’ institute says

The next president of the United States should be asked if he will release UFO-related documents, the New Paradigm Institute says.

A once-taboo subject that essentially forced whistleblowers like Bob Lazar into exile is the topic of a social media campaign applying heat to debate moderators to question each 2024 candidate about his willingness to declassify the files.

“The next president of the United States will make critical decisions about UAP disclosure and government transparency,” New Paradigm Institute Chief Counsel Daniel Sheehan said in a June 12 statement. 

“It’s time for all presidential candidates — Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Donald Trump — to commit to UFOs/UAP disclosure and transparency. … Regardless of political affiliation, the time has come to inject UAP into the political discourse of our elections.”

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital in a previous interview that documents relating to UFOs, or UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena), are “so compartmentalized that we’ll never get to the bottom of it.”

It will take a “commander-in-chief who says enough is enough,” to declassify everything.

Two new ‘alien’ mummies from Peru are revealed – and they could be shipped to US for DNA tests

A Mexican journalist claiming to be in possession of alien corpses is looking to American and European scientists to confirm their authenticity.

Two newly unearthed ‘alien’ mummies from Peru have caused waves of controversy since x-ray and ultrasound data on the bodies was unveiled this past March, with archeologists fearing they may be ancient humans dug up by tomb raiders. 

Journalist and UFO researcher Jaime Maussan confirmed to DailyMail.com that more in-depth ‘analyses are being done’ — and he’s suing Peru’s government for the right to ship the bodies to more advanced labs in the US.

Maussan, whose research has courted controversy for nearly a decade, has floated the idea that the mummies might be alien-human ‘hybrids,’ with his scientist colleagues declaring that the new specimens contain ’30 percent unknown’ DNA.

But critics continue to cast doubt on his claims. 

‘Personally, I am not convinced that they are humanoid. I think they’re human,’ Latin American historian Christopher Heaney told DailyMail.com.

Maussan and his colleagues have had an eventful year pushing for wider scientific interest in the apparently alien bodies, including a controversial presentation before Mexico’s Congress and clashes with Peru’s Ministry of Culture.

The drama over the bodies came amid exploding public policy debate on UFOs — as politicians in the United States follow the lead of government whistleblowers and Ivy League scientists in calling for more open research on the mystery. 

Maussan’s clash with his critics reached its most heated moment this past April when a press conference that he held in Peru was raided by police intent on seizing one of the new mummified bodies on display, dubbed ‘Montserrat.’ 

Undaunted, Maussan is now suing the government of Peru both for damages and for the right to ship these mummy specimens to university researchers and other scientists in the United States for more thorough, independent third-party testing.  

‘The lawsuit is already in for $300 million,’ Maussan told DailyMail.com. 

‘We are going to negotiate with Peru,’ Maussan said, ‘to be allowed to export the samples to be done in America.’

Pentagon official reveals tantalizing seven-minute encounter with glowing blue UFO – which emitted enough energy to ‘power a small city’

A US Department of Defense contractor’s tantalizing encounter with a giant, glowing UFO has sparked 10 years of research and two patents inspired by his encounter.

Three witnesses, including that Pentagon engineer, report that they captured electronic evidence of a ‘barbell’ UFO, half the length of a football field, that glowed an eerie ‘indigo’ blue.

The craft, they said, flew silently over an old logging road in southwestern Ontario, Canada, on August 28, 2013, near where the trio had camped for a hunting trip. 

DailyMail.com spoke with the case’s first investigators, who shared electronic data from the contractor’s attempt to film the object — showing ‘white noise’ pulses in the video that recur in one-second loops identical to strobing light from the UFO itself.

‘The captured data of the event,’ the witness reported, ‘may be the first real physical proof of not just a craft flying, but that it flies by virtue of an incredibly complex and […] powerful spinning electromagnetic propulsion system.’

The case was investigated by the same nanotechnology expert whose analysis of a 2007 mass UFO sighting in Texas became a centerpiece of the Steven Spielberg-produced UFO docuseries ‘Encounters’ last year on Netflix.

‘Is there another ‘barbell’ case we’ve investigated like this?’ that engineer, UFO investigator Robert Powell, told DailyMail.com of this rare case. ‘No, it’s the only one.’

Powell told DailyMail.com that UFO cases with this shape are so rare that only about ’50 to 60 cases’ exist ‘throughout history.’

Powell, whose new book on UFOs has garnered praise from former Defense Department intelligence official Chris Mellon, personally visited the contractor’s lab and worked with him on analyzing the eerie interference on his UFO video.

‘He gave me a tour of the defense facility,’ Powell said, who vetted the source’s identity and biographical claims.

‘There was a heavy duty commercial 3D printer in the lab and there were offices with three or four engineers that worked there beside him in that his building,’ he noted.

Hidden UFO civilization could be on Earth: Harvard researchers

An unidentified, technologically advanced population could be living secretly on Earth.

That startling claim was made in a new paper by researchers at Harvard and Montana Technological University. They speculate that “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP), another term for UFOs, could be living underground, on the moon or even walking among humans.

The researchers acknowledge in the paper their hypotheses may be regarded skeptically by the general scientific community, but they still deserve “consideration in a spirit of epistemic humility and openness.”

The paper posits the possibility of “cryptoterrestrials” as an explanation for unidentified and unexplainable observations made worldwide each year.

Here are the theories proposed in the paper:

  • A “remnant form” of ancient civilization remains on Earth
  • An intelligent species evolved separately from humans and now stays hidden
  • Cryptoterrestrials traveled from another time period or planet
  • The unidentified creatures are of supernatural origin, likened to “earthbound angels”

The paper also suggests the idea of cryptoterrestrials living in or under sighting hotspots such as lakes and volcanoes.

The researchers propose the influx of sightings in similar areas is due to entry/exit points for hidden societies deep in the Earth. Other possibilities for cryptoterrestrial settlements lie nearby, like on the moon.
