Enigma Labs launches state UFO sighting webpages

In the study of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and UFOs, a company has launched a new way to track sightings and view videos of these events based on the state where they occurred. Alejandro Rojas, a long-time researcher and consultant for Enigma Labs, shared in an exclusive interview with the Roswell Daily Record how this platform seeks to move UAP research forward through citizen science and global collaboration.

The project began with the simple idea of allowing people to actively participate in the research of UFOs, regardless of their background. The team at Enigma Labs set out to develop a platform that would allow users to report sightings, interact with other people who share their interests, and provide much-needed data for existing research projects on the topic.

“Collaboration is at the heart of Enigma’s mission,” Rojas said. “We wanted to bridge the gap between citizen scientists and established researchers, fostering an environment of transparency, accessibility, and knowledge-sharing.”

Utilizing the “Enigma — UFO & UAP Sightings” app, currently available on iOS devices, individuals can report and view sightings worldwide. “Diversity is one of Enigma’s greatest strengths,” Rojas said. “By providing multilingual support and accommodating users from diverse cultural backgrounds, we aim to showcase the universality of UFO sightings and foster a sense of global collaboration and understanding.”

Now, with the newly launched webpages, users can view this information without needing the app.

Proof aliens exist? Federal agencies must now deliver all UFO reports for public disclosure – including classified material

Federal agencies have until October 20th to deliver every document, audio and video they have about UFOs to the US government for distribution to the public.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) issued the instructions this month — putting into action the UFO disclosure amendment to the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as signed into law last December.

The guidelines reveal the latest strategy to compel unwilling parts of the US military and the intelligence community into revealing everything they know about the mysterious airborne events, now called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). 

The move comes two months after the Pentagon‘s UFO office issued a controversial report to Congress, claiming it ‘found no verifiable evidence that the US government or private industry has ever had access to extraterrestrial technology.’

NARA archivists have issued guidelines mandating that all UFO or UAP documents be delivered in electronic formats with detailed metadata for inclusion a new searchable database to be made available to the public. 

The database will include classified material that the NARA will store independently, safe keeping the records until they can be declassified for the public.

BBC Journalist Allegedly Threatened by CIA Over 1994 UFO Landing Case in Zimbabwe

BBC journalist Tim Leach was allegedly threatened by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) while reporting on a 1994 Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) landing case at a school in Ruwa, Zimbabwe.

The case involved 62 students from Ariel School in Ruwa, who reported seeing a disc-shaped craft land in a field behind their playground on 17 September 1994 – some students even claimed that humanoid beings emerged from the craft.

Following the incident, the BBC’s correspondent in Zimbabwe, Tim Leach, visited the school to investigate the case.

After filming a report and sending the tape to London to be aired on the BBC, the tape went missing. That meant Leach had to file a separate report. 

Liberation Times can reveal that according to a source who wishes to stay anonymous, Leach confided that he had received threats from the CIA. Leach indicated that the CIA was interfering with his story. 

The source also provided Liberation Times with audio of a conversation with Leach from 1994, in which the journalist, sounding rattled, warned them to “be very careful.”

Leach, a former head of the Foreign Correspondents’ Association, died in 2011.

News regarding the CIA’s alleged involvement in the Ruwa case comes months after the Daily Mail revealed allegations that the Agency’s Office of Global Access had conducted multiple retrieval missions of non-human craft.

Three sources, who spoke to the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity to avoid reprisals, were all briefed by individuals involved in those alleged UFO retrieval missions.

A Study Suggests We Found Potential Evidence of Dyson Spheres—and Alien Civilizations

The search for alien life comes in many flavors, from hunting for Earth-like planets, to looking for stars with Sun-like characteristics, to tuning into some kind of alien transmission. But for more than 60 years, one particular type of search for alien worlds has centered around the idea of a Dyson Sphere.

First proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960, the idea is that a sufficiently advanced civilization (at least Type II on the Kardashev scale) would be capable of harnessing the power of its host star by constructing a kind of cocoon that could tap into a large percentage of the star’s released energy.

Over the years, the concept of Dyson Sphere has evolved to include a variety of potential constructs, including rings, bubbles, and swarms (a constellation of satellites tapping a star’s energy). But their impact from our perspective is all the same—variability in a star’s luminosity coupled with excess infrared light due to waste heat.

Chilean Senator Reveals Astounding Alien Abduction Experience

A Chilean senator recently shared an astounding account of being abducted by aliens and then being visited by an individual claiming to be from out of this world. According to a local media report, Karim Bianchi revealed the jaw-dropping experience last week during an interview with a Chilean media outlet. The incident, the senator recalled, occurred on an evening back in 2012 as he was driving to the city of Punta Arenas. While speaking to a friend on the phone, Bianchi was stunned to see a large circular light comprised “of different colors” in the night sky. His car then suddenly shut down, he said, and “in a very short time, less than a minute, I show up” around 100 miles away from the site of the strange sighting.

Reflecting on the moment, Bianchi mused that he was deeply shaken by what had just occurred, especially since was alone at night and fearful that “something else would happen to me.” While the senator made it to his destination without any further incident that evening, his concerns that the UFO was not quite finished with him were seemingly borne out a few days later when a mysterious stranger visited his office. “He told me he was an alien,” Bianchi shockingly said, indicating that the “bald man” gave him “photocopies of a magazine that had to do with an alien presence.” Eerily, the self-described ET told the senator that he would someday reveal his story to the world.

Vatican preparing ‘guidelines’ for ‘apparitions’, ‘other supernatural phenomena’

The Vatican is preparing to release a document giving guidance on how to discern supernatural phenomena. 

The Holy See Press Office announced the upcoming document will be published May 17 with a live-streamed press conference featuring Prefect for the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández.

Fernández has previously said the dicastery is “in the process of finalizing a new text with clear guidelines and norms for the discernment of apparitions and other phenomena,” according to the National Catholic Register.

An “apparition” refers to an instance in which a divine entity — such as a saint, the Virgin Mary, or Christ himself — makes itself known to a person on Earth. The concept is a recurring theme in the Bible and most Christian denominations affirm the belief that such brushes with the supernatural can still occur today in various capacities.

The Catholic Church urges “extreme prudence” before ascribing phenomena to a supernatural force, warning that being too quick to attribute divine origin to explainable occurrences can damage the faith and warp belief.

Alleged apparitions are usually documented and scrutinized by the diocesan bishop’s office and then forwarded to Rome for further investigation.

The Pentagon is lying about UFOs

Congress held a historic hearing on UFOs last July. The hearing, which featured testimony from two former Navy fighter pilots and a former senior intelligence officer, garnered a notable amount of attention and interest not seen on Capitol Hill in years.

In one remarkable exchange, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) described how his office received a “protected disclosure” from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, regarding a January 2023 UFO incident over the Gulf of Mexico. After being stonewalled by the Air Force, he delivered a tense, on-base reminder to the military about “how authorities flow in the United States of America.” The Air Force relented, permitting Gaetz to review sensor data gathered during the encounter.

According to Gaetz, fighter pilots tracked four unknown objects flying in a “clear diamond formation.” Notably, the incident occurred on a training range typically conspicuously free of any airborne clutter.

Still imagery indicated that one of the objects demonstrated capabilities that Gaetz, who has served on the House Armed Services Committee for nearly a decade, was “not able to attach to any human capability, either from the United States or from any of our adversaries.”

Radar data, according to Gaetz, showed that the four objects moved in a “very clear formation [with] equidistant” separation.

The Real-Life UFO Story That Led to a Famously Unmade Steven Spielberg Sci-fi Movie

Steven Spielberg has had a lifelong fascination with alien beings from beyond the stars. When the legendary director was just 17, he made a nearly two-and-a-half-hour epic on his 8mm camera called Firelight, a film that he more or less remade 14 years later as Close Encounters of the Third Kind. That 1977 classic would be the first of three professional movies Spielberg would make about aliens arriving on our planet, the other two being E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and War of the Worlds (2005). And each trip into the extraterrestrial has led to one of the director’s most successful and acclaimed films (we’re not counting 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull since Spielberg didn’t actually want aliens in the movie).

It’s also a subject that continues to fascinate the filmmaker, with Variety recently reporting that Spielberg’s next film is going to be another UFO story based on his own original idea. But of the many announced films that Spielberg never made (and there are a bunch), one continues to intrigue his fans decades after he began developing it: Night Skies. Pitched as the darker, nastier flipside to the friendly aliens in Close Encounters, Night Skies was meant to follow a group of extraterrestrial beings that land on Earth and begin to terrorize a family on their isolated farm.

The idea for Night Skies came to Spielberg after he heard about an alleged real-life incident while doing research for Close Encounters that involved a family under attack by extraterrestrials. But what exactly was the incident, and why is it famous in Ufology? How did it influence Night Skies, and how did Night Skies itself morph into an utterly different film altogether? Well…

Underwater UFOs display capability that ‘jeopardizes US maritime security,’ ex-Navy officer says

UFOs that have shown the ability to seamlessly transition from air to sea without a splash or crash debris are an “urgent” national security concern with “world-changing” scientific ramifications, an ex-Navy officer said.

In July 2019, the USS Omaha recorded a UFO – or UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) – that buzzed a Navy fleet off San Diego and disappeared into the ocean without a trace.

The video, first released by Jeremy Corbell and verified by the Pentagon, displays capability that “jeopardizes U.S. maritime security, which is already weakened by our relative ignorance about the global ocean,” oceanographer and retired Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet said.

“The fact that unidentified objects with unexplainable characteristics are entering US water space and the DOD is not raising a giant red flag is a sign that the government is not sharing all it knows about all-domain anomalous phenomena,” Gallaudet wrote in his March 2024 report.

THE PENTAGON’S NEW UAP REPORT IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED

Last month the U.S. government’s new UAP investigation office, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), submitted a report to Congress entitled, “Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” (UAP, the new term for UFO). This new report is itself anomalous for several reasons.

First, who ever heard of a government report being submitted months before it was due? Especially one so rife with embarrassing errors in desperate need of additional fact-checking and revision? Was AARO Director Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick rushing to get the report out the door before departing, perhaps to ensure that his successor could not revise or reverse some of the report’s conclusions?

Second, this appears to be the first AARO report submitted to Congress that the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) did not sign off on. I don’t know why, but Avril Haines and her Office were quite right not to in this case, having spared themselves considerable embarrassment in the process.

Third, this is the most error-ridden and unsatisfactory government report I can recall reading during or after decades of government service. We all make mistakes, but this report is an outlier in terms of inaccuracies and errors. Were I reviewing this as a graduate student’s thesis it would receive a failing grade for failing to understand the assignment, sloppy and inadequate research, and flawed interpretation of the data. Hopefully, long before it was submitted, the author would have consulted his or her professor and received some guidance and course correction to prevent such an unfortunate outcome.

Another irregularity worth noting is the fact that before its release, Department of Defense (DoD) Public Affairs sponsored a closed-door pre-brief on the report’s findings for a select group of press outlets on an invitation-only basis. Outlets like The Debrief, which closely follow the UAP issue, were excluded. Following the report’s release, most of the news agencies that had participated in the pre-brief went on to publish articles that uncritically parroted the report’s findings. Moreover, they seem to have done so without consulting any of the scholars or experts who have studied and written extensively on this topic as would normally be the case in another field.

What about consulting the famous scientist, author, venture capitalist, and UAP expert Dr. Jacques Vallee, who worked with Air Force astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek on Project Blue Book and lived much of the history this UAP report purports to cover? Neither AARO nor the press bothered to speak with him. How about Robert Powell, Director of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies and author of the outstanding new book UFOs: A Scientist Explains What We Know (and Don’t Know)? Or professor Alexander Wendt at the Ohio State University? I’m sure these and many other authors and scholars would have been happy to assist AARO or the press, had they been contacted.
