Astrophysicist Eric Davis says former President George H.W. Bush privately confirmed a 1964 UFO landing at Holloman Air Force Base and was told he lacked the clearance to see the film. A 1974 TV documentary had already used the same story as a hypothetical.

A new Bennu study traces rare early-Solar-System minerals through NASA's returned asteroid material. Its findings point to dust moving outward and being filtered near proto-Jupiter.

Retired Army Colonel John B. Alexander remains a notable figure in the history of UAP research. Through military service, laboratory work, and later private research networks, he helped track where official interest in unidentified aerial phenomena actually existed within the U.S. defense establishment.
AARO's workshop paper proposes better ways to capture UAP reports. Its starting point is simple: how did a witness estimate what they saw?
The new release gives three old Columbia images a new official label. It does not identify an object, connect the photographs to the mission's famous videos, or overturn the astronaut's account of what those videos showed.
The third interstellar object on record, four SETI searches that turned up nothing artificial, and Avi Loeb's evolving public position — laid out, dated, and with the parts that could not be independently verified flagged.
Kirkpatrick took his "no alien technology" case to a friendly skeptics' room in Arlington. A retired Navy two-star took the open mic and called the office he used to run a disinformation campaign. Kirkpatrick said, "Yes, sir."
Colonel Karl E. Nell wrote the most legislatively detailed insider case for UAP disclosure any American has put in writing. The bill it was built to underwrite is now the most-stripped amendment in modern defense policy.
Some UFO reports have been tied to satellite flares, balloons, aircraft or optical effects. Others remain open because the public record is thin. Here is what the UAP evidence ledger actually shows in 2026.
On August 7, 1996, Bill Clinton stood on the White House South Lawn to announce potential signs of ancient Martian life in meteorite ALH84001. What followed was not a clean debunking, but a decades-long debate over organic chemistry, nanofossils, and planetary geology.
President Trump has directed federal agencies to waive non-disclosure agreements for former government and contractor personnel sharing UAP information with AARO or the PURSUE task force. An administration official pledged eventual public release, though security reviews remain under executive control.
AARO’s FY2025 report logged 319 UAP-related reports. Its largest new resolution was not a recovered craft or a classified sensor: a modelling capability that attributed 238 reported UAP to satellite flares.
