As the latest round of Congressional hearings on UAP approaches, many questions remain about the claims of whistleblower David Grusch, and the information he says he was provided by intelligence officials about crashed vehicles of non-human origin, the bodies of UAP pilots, and even human casualties associated with UAP incidents.

In a historic new bipartisan measure led by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer of New York, government records on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) may soon be required to be released to the public, in what has proven to be the latest and most significant push for UAP transparency by lawmakers.

For centuries, unusual sounds have been reported throughout the world. From the quaking "Ton der Dove-Bai" reported in Greenland to the mysterious "Bloop" recorded by NOAA in the 1990s, odd sounds of unexplained origin have captured our imagination and hinted at phenomena in our world that continue to evade us in modern times. Arguably, one of the strangest unexplained acoustic phenomena ever reported involves the mysterious "Quackers" encountered by Soviet submarine crews during the Cold War. Did

In 1996, a strange series of documents were delivered to several Italian media outlets and UFO researchers, purporting to reveal the existence of a secretive investigative committee that looked into sightings of unconventional aerial vehicles during the 1930s and 40s. Called RS/33 Cabinet, the alleged UFO study group was purportedly led by Guglielmo Marconi under the direction of Italy's fascist regime under Benito Mussolini.

In 2008, one or more massive unidentified flying objects were observed moving erratically through the evening skies over Stephenville, Texas. Among the many witnesses were several law enforcement officers who said they observed the giant UFOs, although it was the radar data later obtained from the FAA that seemingly proved there had been such objects in the area, one which flew over the ranch home of then-President George W. Bush. This week, Robert Powell, an executive board member of the Scientific

Is the United States in possession of anomalous craft of non-human origin? Has this information been illegally kept from Congress? These are among the questions raised by a bombshell story published in The Debrief by Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal who, in 2017, reframed the public debate about unidentified aerial phenomena in an article published in The New York Times.

Since the 1950s, American astronomers and military officials have monitored the orbital space above planet Earth for signs of objects that may represent threats to the United States. However, even prior to the launch of Sputnik in October 1957, strange objects of unknown origin were being detected in orbit above Earth, giving rise to theories about the existence of an alien probe that could have quietly monitored our planet from a once-hidden position in orbit for thousands of years.
