‘Entities’ may be living in underwater UFO bases… and experts know where they are

A respected congressman has claimed that advanced alien beings could be hiding out in ‘five or six’ underwater UFO bases right off the US coast.

Tennessee congressman Tim Burchett, a member of the House Oversight Committee overseeing UFO reports, drew massive attention on social media after saying that he believed there were alien ‘entities’ currently living in deep-water areas on Earth.

The September 17 clip posted on X has already been viewed more than 1.9 million times.

During the sidewalk interview with Matt Laslo, reposted online by a UFO researcher who goes by the pseudonym Red Panda Koala, Burchett suggested that advanced alien beings or civilizations may have been hiding in Earth’s oceans for generations.

He added that there have been frequent sightings of unidentified craft around five or six specific deep-sea areas, which he found significant given how little is known about the ocean compared to the moon’s surface.

The congressman also noted that US Navy personnel have reported chasing these underwater craft that move at extraordinary speeds and far surpass the abilities of current US military technology.

Despite these claims, no verifiable physical evidence, such as artifacts or clear footage of these underwater craft, has been publicly presented to confirm the existence of alien bases.

Skeptics have argued that the reliance on anecdotal reports from naval personnel and the lack of peer-reviewed scientific data casts significant doubt on the claims made during recent congressional hearings on UFO phenomena.

‘Massive’ comet hurtling toward us is larger than previously thought, could be alien tech, scientist says: ‘It could change everything for us’

Scientists have discovered that the 3I/ATLAS — a Manhattan-sized interstellar object that potentially has alien tech — is much larger than previously thought, according to a new report.

First discovered by NASA on July 1, the cosmic anomaly has been under watch by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his team as it shoots across the solar system. The object, which is believed to be a comet, reportedly has interstellar origins, making it the third ever object from beyond the solar system ever detected after ‘Oumuamua, which was discovered in 2017, and 2I/Borisov in 2019.

Now the team has gleaned some “sizable” new intel on the interstellar visitor, namely that the “mass of 3I/ATLAS must be bigger than 33 billion tons,” per a blog post by Loeb.

They arrived at this number by calculating the object’s trajectory to find that ATLAS’s “gravitational acceleration” is “smaller than 49 feet per day, squared,” Futurism reported.

This was then compared to how much mass it was shedding via gases and dust particles to determine the size.

Loeb and co. also found that the diameter of its solid-density nucleus must be larger than 3.1 miles — the upper limit of current projections that are based on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope.

This makes it larger than “three to five orders of magnitude” more massive than its predecessors, ‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov.

FAA Records Add ‘Black Cube’ Sighting to Wright-Patterson AFB Drone Mystery

Newly released Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) documents obtained by The Black Vault under FOIA case 2025-04622 add significant new information to the still-developing story about a series of unauthorized drone incursions at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) in December 2024. These records, drawn primarily from the FAA’s SKYWATCH system, supplement the earlier Air Force FOIA release (2025-01757-F) previously covered by The Black Vault, and they introduce a striking new element: the report of a “black cube”-shaped “UAS” observed at around 16,000 feet.

SKYWATCH is an FAA operations security platform used to collect and disseminate reports of suspicious or unauthorized aerial activity, often relayed through Air Traffic Control Towers, FAA regional offices, and the Domestic Events Network. It serves as a central alert system for potential security risks, with reports often shared with law enforcement and military security forces.

Here is a breakdown summary of the events just released as a result of this case, and drawing from the SKYWATCH system. The documents themselves (located at the bottom of this article) go into greater detail.

Unusual New 3I/ATLAS Discovery Suggests the Interstellar Comet is “Anomalously Massive”

The mysterious comet 3I/ATLAS appears to be extremely large, making it orders of magnitude more massive than two other confirmed interstellar objects observed in our solar system in years past, a new study suggests.

Based on a new analysis of the most precise tracking data collected on the object since its discovery in July, the interstellar comet appears to be “anomalously massive,” a finding that raises new questions regarding our expectations about interstellar objects that occasionally traverse our solar system.

The research was detailed in a new paper by Richard Cloete, Peter Vere, and Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, which places new limits on the object’s apparent non-gravitational acceleration and overall mass.

The new findings are largely consistent with existing upper estimates for the unusual space object’s size, with some recent observations suggesting it could be up to three miles long.

An “Anomalously Massive” Interstellar Object

More than four months of optical measurements collected on 3I/ATLAS, compiled by the Minor Planet Center, were used by the team for their analysis, which compared 3I/ATLAS’s position to the trajectory that would be expected based on gravity alone.

Based on their results, the team found almost no measurable deviation from a gravitational path, which seems to point to the fact that the interstellar comet is experiencing some degree of non-gravitational acceleration, albeit a negligible amount.

This finding would also seem to suggest that the object’s nucleus must possess a minimum diameter of roughly five kilometers (slightly more than three miles), which makes it several orders of magnitude more massive than the first two known interstellar objects, ʻOumuamua and Borisov.

Between May and September, more than 4,000 astrometric measurements related to the motion of 3I/ATLAS were collected from 227 observatories around the world. Based on this data, an upper limit on non-gravitational acceleration for the interstellar comet could be calculated, which was less than 15 meters per day squared.

According to the team’s study, this finding, with consideration for the principle of momentum conservation, suggests that gas jets produced on the surface of the object as it continues to be warmed by heat from the Sun should result in a measurable push. Based on current observations, however, the lack of detectable deviation exhibited by the object appears to imply that 3I/ATLAS is quite massive.

Galactic alert: NASA confirms mysterious object entering solar system is ‘interstellar’ visitor

A mysterious object hurtling through space has been identified as a rare “interstellar object,” only the third of its kind ever seen.

In July, NASA reported its ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Chile identified a comet that originated from interstellar space. Arriving in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, the comet was dubbed 3I/Atlas.

The comet poses no threat to Earth – it will remain at a distance of about 150 million miles away – but is unique. According to Livescience, the object is traveling towards the sun extremely fast, around 152,000 mph and is on an flat and straight trajectory that’s unlike anything else in the solar system.

NASA has confirmed 3I/Atlas is an interstellar object, meaning it originated outside our solar system and is briefly traveling through it. It’s only the third such object to have ever been spotted after Comet 2I/Borisov passed through in 2019 and ‘Oumuamua, a cigar-shaped object that appeared in 2017 and sparked a social media fury after it was suggested it was an alien probe.

Scientists are studying the size and makeup of 3I/Atlas but NASA said it should be visible to ground-based telescopes through September, though after that it will pass too close to the sun to be seen. It will reappear on the other side of the sun by Sunday and remain visible through early December.

DoD Redacts Nearly All Records Explaining AARO’s Use of Law Enforcement Exemption for UAP Files

The Department of Defense (DoD) has released a set of heavily redacted emails in response to a FOIA request seeking records that would explain why AARO and UAP materials are now being largely withheld under FOIA Exemption (b)(7). This exemption is intended for “law enforcement” records, raising questions about how it applies to AARO, which is not a law enforcement body.

The release was supposed to show the internal decision-making behind this new practice. Instead, nearly all substance was withheld, and more than 95%+ of the content is either blacked out or withheld in full. The result is another chapter in a growing saga of secrecy surrounding AARO, FOIA, and UAP records.

This issue has now persisted for more than two years. The Pentagon’s Public Affairs office, through spokesperson Susan Gough, continues to refuse to answer The Black Vault’s roughly four dozen inquiries and follow-ups over the course of 27 months sent to her about how this exemption can be legally justified.

The September 18, 2025, release (case 24-F-0154) consisted of 23 pages. Three pages were withheld in their entirety under Exemption (b)(5), while the rest were redacted under (b)(5) and (b)(6).

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.

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.
