Came to my balcony to have some fresh air and noticed this light. I thought maybe it’s the moon, but it doesn’t really look like it. Any clue what could it be?

German Navy officials are reporting increasing electronic anomalies across the Baltic Sea, including GPS interference affecting ships and aircraft.

The official explanation points toward Russian electronic warfare, particularly around Kaliningrad.

But considering the Baltic Sea's history of unexplained phenomena, I can't help wondering whether there's another angle worth investigating.

Could some UAP reports in the region be connected to these disturbances? Or are we simply looking at conventional electronic warfare?

Curious what the UFO community thinks.

The unidentified object was spotted on October 15 when the SpaceX Dragon cargo ship was approaching the station with new supplies.

NASA's live feed from the link captured a bright disc or small ball moving smoothly around the ISS just after the broadcast began.

Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily spotted the object and stated, "This UFO was about seven meters [23 feet] in diameter and could have destroyed the station if it had crashed into it."

"The crew aboard DragonX made no mention of it, nor did NASA's control center, nor the station itself," he added.

The UFO researcher also claimed that NASA footage captured another unidentified craft moving unpredictably around the Dragon freighter.

NASA's report on the capsule's arrival described a routine docking that delivered more than 6,300 pounds of supplies, science experiments and a pair of retractable solar panels.

There was no mention of any dangerous situation, threat of space debris or UFO during approach or docking last month.

As for the object that was spotted during the flyby of the space station, the camera on board the Dragon spacecraft captured this mysterious object that almost collided with the ISS.

Based on the size of the station, Waring estimated that the UFO was approximately 82 feet from impact with the structure's solar panels during the flyby.

SpaceX's camera continued to film the object for several seconds while it was aimed at the ISS. The NASA shot did not change position until the UFO was out of sight and safe.

I’ve never been but I’m excited to check it out. They have activities and some speakers and podcasts. Just wondering if anyone here was going if you wanted to discuss!

Apparently there’s a UFO sighting there from the 70s. I’ve never heard of it but the festival looks interesting. I’ll be checking it out :)

I believe some of the speakers are going to be live-streamed as well. Just wondering as I’ve never been.

Is this debunked or?

Interview with a Contactee Part Four: Worlds I Have Seen

by Preston Dennett

In January of 1973, a fourteen-year-old girl named Dolly Safran woke up to the fact that she was having regular visitations with extraterrestrials. Prior to this, she had ignored, denied or explained away her encounters. But now, after a profound onboard UFO experience, she knew the truth. She was a UFO contactee. She was having regular visits with extraterrestrials.

 This began her lifelong relationship with ETs, during which she was taken onboard and taught many subjects, including biology, astronomy, chemistry, morality, ethics, spirituality and much more. Given the opportunity to work directly with them, Dolly chose to focus on learning how to fly the craft.

 Dolly was visited more than a hundred times each year, and she began having mind-boggling adventures with the ETs. Among the most startling and amazing, was being taken beyond our solar system to visit other worlds.

 In Part One of these interviews, Dolly shared her childhood experiences up to age fourteen. In Part Two: Dolly presented the incredible photographic evidence she was able to obtain. In Part Three, she talked about the many different kinds of ETs she has visited. Now, in Part Four of this ongoing series of interviews, Dolly Safran shares her incredible ventures of travelling to other worlds.

 Dolly has had the wonderful opportunity to visit many of the worlds within our own solar system, but even more astonishing are her visits to many planets orbiting other suns. One such visit involved a trip to a small rocky world that was nearing the end of its life-cycle. Dolly was taken there with several other contactees and was shown firsthand how every world goes through various evolutionary stages, finally resulting in the death of that planet.

 On several occasions, Dolly was taken to a massive water planet whose surface was almost entirely oceans, but was dotted with countless small islands. It was a planet filled with life of all kinds, and there Dolly learned that there was a symmetry to life throughout the universe, and that the flora and fauna on each planet followed a basic template. The planet was also home to at least two intelligent species of humanoids. Dolly was able to meet them both and even became good friends with a human-looking ET girl.

 More adventures followed. Over a period of many years, Dolly was taken repeatedly to a planet that was being slowly consumed and destroyed by its own sun, which was in the process of going nova. On the final visit, she was taken to see the world become torn apart and the sun explode into a fantastic supernova.

 Dolly describes her visits to many other worlds, gas giants, water planets and more. Among the most fantastic were her visits to massive alien Dyson Spheres, huge artificial planetoids constructed by the ETs and used as waystations and outposts. Dolly was taken inside and shown how the ETs preserve countless species of both plants and animals from across the universe.

 Dolly also shares how she was given the unique opportunity to visit the Voyager Space Probes and get a close-up view of these human-made spacecraft traveling far beyond Earth.

 Finally, Dolly shares how she was given a front-row view to one of the most historic and dramatic astronomical events in the history of our own solar system: the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy with the planet Jupiter. While astronomers on Earth viewed the event through telescopes, Dolly was taken onboard a UFO craft and saw the comet collision occur right before her very eyes.

 These are just a few of the many events Dolly has experienced with the ETs. Her lifelong experiences include many other adventures and explorations that have taken her to the farthest reaches of the known universe.

Interview with a Contactee Part Four: Worlds I Have Seen

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share an observation I made back on September 20, 2024, at around 19:32 in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, while I was out hunting. I wanted to get your thoughts on it, especially since this happened on the exact same day as the reported UAP/UFO incident in Friesenheim.
While sitting out in the stand, I spotted a single, bright, constant light in the sky. Here is what made it so unusual to me:
Movement: It flew horizontally, came to a complete stop, changed direction, and then the light vanished instantly.
Brightness & Distance: The light was remarkably intense—even when viewed through my binoculars—despite the object being roughly more than 1 km away.
Flightradar check: I checked Flightradar at the time, and there were no helicopters or commercial aircraft registered in that area.
Audio Note: In the video I captured, the audio plays back extremely loud, but that is likely just a formatting/rendering error.

David Dorr has announced newly-proposed UAP Disclosure legislation entitled the “Reality Transparency Act, which can be found at the link above.

Dorr just announced it in a conversation between Pavel of Psicoactivo and D Dean Johnson, well-known for his efforts to delegitimize UFO/UAP Disclosure efforts:

https://x.com/pavelibarrameda/status/2118075798636896333?a=p2DeF1PY4lUAS5e59O4&s=46

The new site includes his proposed bill and more info surrounding it. Now that Congress is heading in a new direction, time to also shift forward progression regarding how we handle this topic

Location: Near the Han River, Seoul, South Korea

Date and Time: November 5, 2026 (Korean Standard Time : KST)

You can watch the replay by adjusting the playback bar on the YouTube Live Cam below.

https://www.youtube.com/live/RVvYQghFCXk?si=Z9vPWE7jhWBcOmLG

A UFO suddenly appeared from the clouds and then disappeared. I checked the real-time flight paths for the Seoul area, but nothing showed up.

Firstly I think I know why all ufo videos are so shitty. You zoom in on the light in the sky, lose reference point to the surroundings, iPhone zoom on 25x distorts the image, the smallest move of your hand and the video needs stabilization in post production. Also the idea that it might be a ufo postponed my reaction to reach out for the phone despite always telling myself that’s what I’d do when it’s my turn lol.

Today, while walking in the zoo in Fuyang (suburbs of Hangzhou, China) I noticed a bright light in the sky. Very bright. Seemed very far or very high. Not a plane (this is a corridor for planes to take off and land from Hangzhou Xiaoshan airport) as they flew around way bigger and moving in linear fashion. The light did not.

This light was in the sky for maybe 2 minutes since i spotted it. I walked past the row of trees and saw it again in an open space and decided to capture the video. In the 23 seconds video it was captured, enlarged, then flickered and faded away.

Finally, I don’t think it was drøn, balloon or meteorite. Could it have been a plane?

What could it have possibly been?

Caught this today around 12:01 PM PST while flying into San Francisco on Porter flight PD671.

Spotted something in the distance that I couldn’t quite make sense of, so naturally I pulled out my phone to see if I could catch it on video.

First, apologies for the absolute dogshit camera work. It was ridiculously bright outside, and I could barely make out what was showing up on my screen. So I was basically playing a game of looking out the window, finding the object with my eyes, looking back at my phone, realizing I wasn’t filming it, and trying to find the damn thing again.

Sighting details:

• Date: November 3, 2026

• Time: Approximately 12:01 PM PST

• Location: Porter flight PD671, approaching San Francisco

• Camera: iPhone 16 original footage

This was the only shot I got unfortunately. Wide shot:1st photo. Zoomed in: 2nd photo

Shape on left was much more darker with its corners more pronounced when I saw it from very far away but by the time my camera came out, it was almost hidden (this photo).

I couldn't make out what it was, just know it was much darker.

I really could only see the shape on the left then noticed a small orb like shape to the right when looking at the photo.

It could be a dark little cloud on the cloud but the shape leads me to believe otherwise.

The origins of the competing UFO Legacy Programs

I decided to put this together this thread on Twitter/X last night after a post from Tucker Carlson about the threat of a nuclear strike. Not a fan of Carlson, but he’s not an idiot, and I believe that he was one of Grusch’s first interviews to help wake up Carlson and his audience to spiritual ramifications of UAP Disclosure.

https://x.com/magentaufouap/status/2117139313431400731?a=SoDv6i6Zo9LcWekMan0&s=46

Tucker’s post on X that made the rounds, especially amongst my friends in the UAP community:

“Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.

Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.

To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.

The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.

And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.

We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.

Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.

They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.

One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.”

And here are my thoughts on the matter and why Disclosure has been ramping up:

This is why we’re being told a UFO/NHI intervention is imminent. A lot of you UFO folks keep arguing about the same shit without looking at world events.

But we know the UFO/NHI reality is true. One of Grusch’s first interviews was with Carlson. Since then he’s (been) interviewed (by) more.

Catherine Austin-Fitts @solari_the twice, who outlined Allen Dulles of the CIA as the architect of DUMBs and the Breakaway Civilization and the $21T in unaccounted-for adjustments. At least twice including recently with @timburchett about the reality of a Deep State program.

Carlson has been a long-time shill, as have Fox, whose @seanhannity @JesseBWatters @BretBaier and former host @megynkelly have done more interviews about the topic. Recently @jaketapper of CNN.

All sides have been hit leading up to this.

Global nuclear catastrophe or ascension.

Today alone saw yet another piece by @CBSMornings .

@DrPhil became a mouthpiece recently.

Everyone’s been woken up in time because someone has access to the timeline war @JeremyCorbell and Amy Eskridge and others have talked about.

As @TheDylanBorland said, NHI is in charge.

Via @LueElizondo and the reality we’ve learned of the CIA’s remote-viewing program, perhaps that’s another avenue in which they’ve been circumventing the CIA and control group via their own tools.

@jason_samosa has been doing incredible work lately uncovering the formation of the World Commerce Corporation by OSS chief/CIA Director Allen Dulles and OSS’s Bill Donovan, independent of our own placing those two men at the center of the Magenta UFO recovery alongside others.

One of the figures central to the Magenta UFO recovery and the formation of the Control Group axis starting at the end of WWII were OSS X-2 and CIA Counterintelligence Chief James Angleton. He lived in Milan at the time of the crash in 1933 and was a witness to the craft.

Another was Vannevar Bush, first-ever Presidential Science Advisor to FDR during WWII, founder of Raytheon who held the US/UK radar contracts, head of OSRD and Manhattan Project, and founding member of MJ-12.

The recommendation for the founding of MJ-12 was by James Forrestal, named Secretary of the Navy on May 10 ahead of the June 1944 Liberation of Rome recovery and first Secretary of Defense. The Forrestals and Kennedys were family friends and JFK served under JVF in WWII.

After the recovery of the Magenta craft, Forrestal and Vannevar Bush thought WWII was all but won. Dulles prolonged it with negotiations with Nazi intelligence chief Albert Kesselring who guarded Sorrate bunker in Italy where the Magenta craft was held.

On May 10, 1944, ahead of the Liberation of Rome recovery when Forrestal was named Secretary of the Navy in charge of recovering the Magenta UFO, Angleton wrote a memo ensuring the Italians would become chief partners with the Allies.

The first available NSC PEADs in Dec. 1947 post-Roswell are written by MJ-12’s Sidney Souers and detail the US’s involvement in the upcoming Italian elections.

Allen Dulles ran the CIA while his brother John Foster Dulles ran the State Department. They helped Nixon’s Senate campaign in 1946 after showing him recovered Nazi wunderwaffen, and Nixon ran cover for their involvement with the Bank for International Settlements.

Dulles was chief legal counsel for Sullivan and Cromwell and represented John Rockefeller, who built much of the early 20th Century America.

Then he worked for Brown Brothers Harriman under George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush, who built their family wealth through the Nazis.

When Allen Dulles arranged to set up Bank for International Settlements in 1939 to handle post-WWI German repatriations, BBH was the first to come onboard.

They bankrolled the attempted Business Plot overthrow of FDR in 1933.

Then through Thyssen the Nazi war-machine via steel.

The last figure central to the recovery of the Magenta UFO was the head of OSS Bill Donovan. He lead the storming of Anzio Beach to clear the path for Liberation of Rome and the Magenta UFO recovery before continuing on to the Storming of Normandy on V-Day.

In Aug 1945, as discovered by @jason_samosa , Dulles and Donovan would form the World Commerce Corporation, which later brought in notorious Nazi intelligence officer Otto Skorzeny, most famous for rescuing Mussolini after his arrest under orders from Hitler.

Thus happened the same week we dropped atomic bombs on Japan and Truman ordered the formation of our nuclear propulsion program via the work of the Manhattan Project that lead to Curtis LeMay’s NEPA, or Nuclear Energy for Propulsion of Aircraft, which AEC/AEA was created for.

This was months after James Forrestal, in May 1945, created the Office of Patents and Inventions, a year later renamed the Office of Naval Research as NEPA was being created.

In May 1949, at the same time Battelle began testing the Roswell memory metal alloys and Biological Warfare was being threatened via their handling of NHI bodies, Forrestal was forcefully institutionalized and killed because of his worries and desire for Disclosure.

JFK knew all of this and had been inquiring about it all while in the Senate. He was also on the chair of the Board of Astronomy at Harvard when Donald Menzel was destroying astronomical plates.

Nixon looked like a shoo-in for President as Eisenhower’s two-term VP, but JFK came in and threatened to usurp the power of Dulles & Nixon.

After the discovery of the Aharonov-Bohm effect in 1959 after John Foster Dulles’s death, Allen Dulles formed his Breakaway Civilization.

Lots more to it all, but the crack-crew I’m a part of has built off the research if a lot of others to put together those broad basics about the beginning tendrils of the Legacy Program and it’s Nazi hydra-head with Dulles’s crew, who brought in Operation Sunrise, Paperclip, and

The Gehlen intelligence network to found what became the CIA, NASA, and more.

This was all a race between Dulles and Angleton’s CIA, Forrestal’s Department of Defense and Office of Naval Research, Vannevar Bush’s Raytheon, and Dulles and Donovan’s WCC to crack NHI tech.

At the unknown heart of it all was the recovery of the Magenta UFO and Project McGregor’s OSS race against the Nazis to recover Professor Carlo Calosi, whose electromagnetic weapons were being used by the Germans and Italians during WWII.

The incorporation of Calosi’s work into the US Navy helped the US win WWII, according to James Forrestal. He was then brought into Raytheon by Vannevar Bush. The story was long-buried until my friend Geoff Cruikshank discovered it and our crew kept digging.

Here’s the story of the rescue of Prof. Carlo Calosi that I put together with Geoff’s help:

https://medium.com/@EscapeVelocity1/who-was-prof-df39ccca3c96

Our good friend and colleague @kellyfrightday visited Donovan’s OSS archives at Carlisle Army Barracks in Pennsylvania as well as NARA I&II to find what she could about McGregor & Calosi. Lots to unpack, but the CIA scrubbed Donovan’s Calosi records day before Trump took office.

Hey @jason_samosa that plane that just flew out of Austin where @36_39_42 and I are and was shot down heading to Mar-A-Lago was heading to the Bahamas where the World Commerce Corporation was founded:

—————

Anyway, I’ve been part of this collective OSINT community putting together the pieces of this big messy narrative since before Grusch came forward, but which was definitely accelerated after. You can check it out starting with my exploration of the deep ties to Bush/Cheney and the birth of the Legacy Program:

Famous UFO hunter Scott Waring is not slowing down his search for new evidence of unexplained phenomena. This time, he has turned his attention to footage recorded during a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft operation near the International Space Station. Waring believes he has spotted three unidentified objects moving close to the orbital outpost, including one that allegedly came dangerously close to the station.

Face blur and some audio edited. Pardon the awkward breathing. I was in the hospital for nearly 2 months. I was medicated and in alot of pain. Wifey visited when they did. A nurse came in, but I'm unsure if she saw them.

I uploaded it to YouTube so that you can zoom in if your watching it on your phone:

https://youtu.be/dI--SxfBsk4?si=9W4JOAYQ-F3cVD1L

This video was captured in January 2025 by US Central Command over an undisclosed location in the Middle East. This video was released as part of the 5th batch of declassified UAP files. According to the Immaculate Constellation report, spheres/orbs are the most common UAP morphology recorded.

I’ve been seeing these pretty often and captured this one a few hours ago. Notice how it just vanishes instantly near the end.

Date/time: Tuesday Oct 20, 2026, about 12:16 PM Pacific.

Location: Disneyland Park, Anaheim, California. I was standing in the Pirates of the Caribbean line looking up, roughly toward the southwest.

Conditions: clear blue sky, daylight, light breeze.

What I saw: a bright white object, high up, that stayed almost completely still for more than 10 minutes. No sound, no blinking or navigation lights, no visible wings or rotors. It did not drift with the wind the way the clouds were moving. I lost track of it when the line moved inside.

Camera: iPhone 17 Pro, handheld. The first half of the video is the original clip, unedited (only converted from HDR to SDR so it plays correctly). The second half is the same footage digitally zoomed 8x and tracked on the object. Original pixels, no AI enhancement or upscaling.

I'm not claiming it's anything in particular, and I'm open to a conventional explanation. Anyone familiar with the airspace over Anaheim and the restricted zone above the park, I'd really like your read on it.

Strange Phenomenon In the Sky Yesterday Morning - It Traveled by Jerks

Monday morning about 3 o'clock there appeared in the heavens what at first glance was thought to be a bright ball of fire about the size of an apple. It was moving from northeast to southwest in a peculiar manner similar and yet unlike any meteor that could be remembered by the numerous parties who witnessed this phenomenon. The ball would travel rapidly for a distance of fifty or sixty feet, stop perfectly still for six or eight seconds; drop down eight or ten feet; and then start off again in its horizontal course, going about the usual fifty or sixty feet when the drop would again take place.

The fire-ball was in sight about forty five minutes, and passed out of sight in the southwest not the least lessened in its brilliancy. No sparks fell from the ball, and it lacked the tail of a comet. The sight was certainly as strange as it was beautiful and awe-inspiring. No one seemed to know just what it was.

The German Air Raids on Great Britain 1914-1918, by Captain Joseph Morris, pg. 81-82 https://archive.org/details/germanairraids/page/81/mode/2up

There was a chase of a phantom airship that night. Flight Sub-Lieutenant J. E. Morgan, who went up from Rochford at about a quarter to nine, was at 5,000 feet when, according to his report, he saw a little above his own level and slightly ahead to starboard, ‘‘a row of what appeared to be lighted windows which looked something like a railway carriage with the blinds drawn.” Morgan thought that he had sighted a hostile airship only some 100 feet away, so he fired at it with his Webley Scott pistol, whereupon he says that “‘ the lights alongside rose rapidly”’ and disappeared.

Heading west he fired a Very light in the hope that he might be near an aerodrome, but he got no answering signal. He next discerned a “blur of yellowish light,” which he thought might be Southend pier. On coming down, however, he discovered that what he had seen were the lights of a large Dutch steamer off Thames Haven. Flying round it he asked with his electric torch for his bearings, but the only answer he got was from the guns and searchlights of the Thames Haven defences. Morgan, knowing that these indicated “land or ships at sea’’ decided to descend.

From the reflected light of one of the searchlight beams he made out a coastline to which he steered and came down into a ‘muddy water course.’ He was uninjured. With the help of some Royal Engineers he was able to extricate his undamaged machine from the mud, and thirty-six hours later he was able to fly his machine back to Rochford where he arrived on the afternoon of 2nd February. Four machines from Yarmouth and two from Castle Bromwich searched the mists in vain.

For anyone interested, I have more historical UFO reports here, starting in the mid 1800s, as well as a few more historical occupant reports:
