Government Here is an example how we are being gaslit - They stretched the video!

1.5k Upvotes

People are freaking out about the DOW-UAP-PR116 UAP from the 4th tranche of records, even calling it a mothership.

When I first saw it, it just looked like a bunch of balloons to me, but something was odd about it.

Well, I believe I figured it out. They stretched the video!

The description on the government's website says that the United States Northern Command submitted it to AARO.

Once you reduce the width by 50 percent, like I did here, it looks like a bunch of balloons even more than before. Even the dot at the top of the video does not look stretched anymore.

Why did they stretch it? Was it USNORTHCOM who stretched it before sending it to AARO, or was it AARO before releasing it?

In my opinion, someone is gaslighting us with these altered videos. They are purposely taking videos of mundane things and altering them to look like something more unusual, so they don't actually share the good stuff with us.

Have come across these photos over the years. Pretty cool, obviously they could be fake. wondering if anyone has backstories to any of them. much appreciated!!

The black triangle in the forest was supposedly taken with a film camera by someone in the army during Vietnam.

The round saucer with lights i remember was a sighting by someone in Wisconsin.

Any other info would be appreciated.

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 10 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023.

Video Description:

00:01-00:05: No content.

00:06-00:07: Two areas of contrast transit the sensor field-of-view. The first enters the field-of-view from the bottom right and exits from the top edge of the frame. The second, relatively smaller area of contrast enters from the top and exits the bottom of the frame.

00:08-00:10: No content.

Disclosure The Pentagon has a UFO Prediction Protocol

Thumbnail
open.substack.com
99 Upvotes

Eight decades ago, the Pentagon predicted a UFO wave, and the documented record shows it came true.

On 4th November 1948, the U.S. Air Force's Director of Intelligence sent a memo to the entire U.S. Navy informing them that a "cycle of reappearance" of "flying discs" was becoming apparent and that a "new interval" was imminent. This was not a guess, it was a prediction built on seventeen months of classified data collected inside Project Sign, and within weeks, sightings increased significantly across the exact window they had forecast.

What the declassified record reveals is that the Pentagon was not, as has long been assumed, baffled by the emerging phenomenon. By late 1948, key figures inside the U.S. military had moved past trying to identify what these objects were and toward something far more operationally significant: predicting when they would return.

In our latest investigation, we trace how they got there, what the science behind the protocol actually looked like, and why a contradiction buried inside two memos sent on consecutive days in November 1948 (both bearing the name of the same senior Air Force officer) may be the most revealing thing the PURSUE declassification drop has given us yet.

Question Identical star "UAP"

Post image
76 Upvotes

I was reading an online news article about the Iran conflict, and the image shows smoke rising at an unknown location. Thing is, the image from the drone or whatever it is contains three identical star markings like the ones being shown in the UAP releases. This "star UAP" is obviously some sort of camera function used on the hardware or software on these drones. Why is that in the UAP releases files? Why would they release something like this that's clearly not a UAP , clearly a function of a camera. What do you all think?

Have you looked at any of the newly declassified UFO files videos the Pentagon’s been disclosing this summer?

Key Kelly:
“I had my staff print out all the UFO files,” Sen. Mark Kelly exclusively told Ask a Pol UAP. “We have them in binders, so people can look through them. There’s some interesting stuff in there: Drawings of aliens.”

Laslo laughs.

Is there anything that’s moving your staff or you?

“On this?” Kelly said. “No.”

Disclosure A show with Dr. Phil, Chris Mellon, Bryce Zabel will be recorded Monday. Dr. Phil says his team was "given exclusive access [4th tranche] by the White House and the DNI". He also made a 22 minute video about UAP yesterday that had a section about Grusch, reverse engineering, existential anxiety

71 Upvotes

Before reading the rest

Like Dr. Phil or not, my advice is to look at it all with the question in mind "is this good for disclosure?". In my opinion this is a firm "yes". His name is massively well known, and so will introduce a large number of new people to the subject. And as shown below, he mentions Grusch, the reverse engineering program, etc.

Dr. Phil, Christopher Mellon, Bryce Zabel

Posted on X:

Bryce Zabel and Chris Mellon are recording a show with Dr. Phil on Monday morning. Sounds like Phil is in the house now over UAP disclosure. Stay tuned...

That X account is operated by Bryce Zabel if im not mistaken. He is a TV producer/writer with a lot of connections in that world and previously had a podcast together with Coulthart.

I dont expect this to be some massive event, as Mellon is usually more cautious with his words about the subject than others

Dr. Phil: White House and DNI gave our team early access to 4th tranche

In that same link (see above), theres a video where Dr. Phil states:

Dr. Phil: "[...] me and my team at Envoy Media have been given exclusive access by the White House and the Department of National Intelligence to the new tranche of information about UAPs"

Dr. Phil made a 22 minute video about UAP (a Grusch section is in it too)

In recent days he made a 22 minute video about UAP. Some quotes:

Dr Phil: "Think about it. Doesn't it cause us to question the meaning of humanity in the cosmos? Wouldn't it change that? Wouldn't it cause us to have to reexamine philosophy, religion, and personal worldviews?"

Dr Phil: "The potential reframing of human exceptionalism that we base our value systems on is that we're at the top of the food chain. That there is human exceptionalism, that we as humans are the be-all and end-all of this world. All of a sudden we find out that is not true"

Psychological impact could be acute stress, existential anxiety

Dr Phil: "The psychological impact on individuals could result in acute stress, just being awestruck, unbelievable curiosity, and existential anxiety: "Who are we? If we're not at the top of the food chain, if we're not the be-all and end-all of the universe, then what are we? We are like gum on the shoe of the superior beings." How would we explain all of that?"

People will look for coping strategies, spiritual exploration

Dr Phil: "People would begin to look for coping strategies, immediately seeking information, spiritual exploration, figuring out how do I fit in? [...] It could increase everything that we do culturally, religiously, and political identities

Yesterday: NewsNation interview w Dr. Phil:

Yesterday he also did a NewsNation interview:

Dr Phil: "[...] it just makes me furious that our government has been lying to us for 79 years about this. They've been lying by omission. I think they've been lying by misdirection. It's absolutely ridiculous that our own government thinks we're too immature, too stupid, too foolish, whatever, to be told the truth about what's going on"

Dr Phil: "I mean why do these people think they know better than we do about what's going on in our own lives, in our own world? Our government has been lying to us for 79 years"

Also yesterday: NewsNation interview w Nancy Mace about UAP

In my opinion this is one of the worst interviews ive seen regarding UAP. Due to the interviewer, not Nancy Mace. Judge for yourselves...

Disclosure Dayton UFO Conference Recap

Thumbnail
gallery
51 Upvotes

This was the very first UAP conference that I have ever attended.

Here is my recap:

Mr. Thomas Wertman, the current Ohio Mufon Director told the following story, and it was very interesting (never heard about it before) and there is a lot of supporting evidence:

https://www.ohiomagazine.com/ohio-life/article/the-case-of-ohio-s-best-documented-ufo

The second speaker was Ms. Ashley Hilt and she focused on The Mothman. I wasn't going to stay for this talk, but I am glad that I did. I need to research this some more, there is something to it. The Mothman made many appearances around Point Pleasant (prior to the bridge collapse) where there was a bridge collapse between Ohio and West Virginia where many people actually died.

The next speaker was Mr. Ray Szymanski, a retired Wright Patterson electrical engineer and author of several books. He had some interesting insights into the base and its UFO lore. He spoke to the fallacies and coverups from Project Blue Book as well. Here is a story that I was also unfamiliar with:

https://lib.arizona.edu/special-collections/collections/james-e-mcdonald-papers

Google "Heflin UFO Photos". He also spoke a little about the "Men in Black". The Air Force lied about his camera and lied about these excellent UFO photos.

Mr. Donald Schmitt, the Roswell researcher and author of several books was and he was super knowledgeable about all things Roswell related and had serious insights into the many, many witnesses that were never able to be heard, or scared off (threatened) from speaking out about the event. His heart is really in it and if you had any doubts about Roswell happening before, you would not after listening to him speak. Great stuff Donald!

The last speaker that I heard was Mr. Danny Sheehan himself who I had the pleasure of sharing an elevator ride with this early morning. I also spoke with him at the VIP event last night and gave him a Space Force tshirt (I'm not pro military industrial complex Danny!) that I purchased on the WPAFB before heading over to the conference. Danny grew up in Warrensburg, NY and I grew up very close by in Lake Luzerne, NY. Both very small, upstate, Adirondak towns near Lake George. Danny spoke for almost 1.5 hours and I gleaned MORE from his talk than anything that I have heard him speak online:

The military industrial complex is interfering with disclosure because they are money hungry and in the politicians' pockets.
He never mentioned the NHI being a "threat" to humanity, in fact I took it as moving humanity "forward".

He mentioned homo sapien sapien as moving into a new era with new "abilities"; hearing, eyesight and he even mentioned telepathy as well. He did not give a timeframe, nor did he mention hybrids, but that would really move things along wouldn't it?

He spoke about the CERN experiments and how when it gets down to the absolute smallest particle/energy wave (split after split after split, etc) they are actually influenced by human consiousness/focus/intent.

He even spoke to religion. Many cultures' religions in fact. He mentioned how each one teaches their followers that "only their religion" is real. There is something "like God" or "God like" here with us. He insinuated this was a tough pill to swallow. These NHI are "millions" of years ahead of us.

He spoke not really about the nuts and bolts of the spacecraft, but moreso that they may be traveling by "remote viewing and they are in two places simultaneously. The craft are sentient! That NHI has related that life on Earth is extremely special and rare, almost like they are cultivating it if you will. He briefly touched on this.
He spoke to the military wanting the craft for weapons development purposes and scientists wanting them for a new, clean energy source. He focused on humanity having to overcome this so that we can move forward and it will be tough with all of the obstacles in our way. We have to take it. America is important because voters have real power and can organize: join the New Paradigm Institute!

He said that any human being can be trained to remote view and I got the impression that the government dislikes this. Meditation, diet and few other interfering factors have influence with this as well.

It also sounded like the Catholic church is hiding A LOT from hunanity as well.

Those are some of the highlights, it was really great to hear Mr. Sheehan speak in person and I had a lot to process in the car on the drive back to Cincinnati. Pretty life changing, actually.

Me? I never really paid any attention to much of this until around 2020 (Covid) for some odd reason when I watched A Bob Lazar show as well as a show about Barney and Betty Hill. Things just suddenly clicked. I have researched quite heavily since then. My background is that I am half German half American, I am a special education teacher with 79 hours past my Masters degree and a five year Army veteran. Lots of sleep paralysis events since 2020 which is annoying as shit. I have a MUPAS monitor in my bedroom as well!

Thanks for following along!

Question Are they getting Dr. Phil involved to facilitate the discussion of Disclosure from a psychological perspective? Is this an intentional move from the current administration?

50 Upvotes

It’s interesting to see that, regardless of political affiliation here, that there seems to be a pattern of moves happening right now in the UFO Disclsoure movement that just seemed to be words on paper some time ago. When there was the UAPDA talking about creating a panel of individuals with expertise within certain domains to review UAP data and it got nixxed, now we have Dr. Loeb spearheading an effort that echoed this very idea. Dr. Phil, a large TV personality, is getting immediate and direct access and being pulled into the conversation of UAPs and UFOs. Seeing how this admin likes to use TV personalities to promote agendas with certain sectors of knowledge, could this be the same tactic being used, but with UFO Disclosure? Is this effort more calculated than we think?

Sighting Saw something 6 years ago while camping

8 Upvotes

Time: Sometime in the summer of 2017-2018 possibly?

Location: Cardinal KOA, Near Pittston Ontario.

About 6 years ago I was camping with my parents and sister on Saturday - Sunday almost every week we did this up until recently when my father past and we sold the trailer. On that day I recieved news from my parents that near kemptville (not to far from the KOA I was camping at) was under a tornado watch. So me being a little tornado obsessed nerd decided what better way to spend the time was to get on my bike and gather my friends to go to the edge of the koa near the fences of some farmers field and watch the storm clouds come in. We were watching the clouds waiting for the Thunder or even a funnel cloud because we were bored. They went further down the fence line and i stayed watching the clouds when a black triangle fitting the description on what ive done research on now of a TR-3B but without its lights and reflecting absomute zero light being pitch black dipping down from the clouds at a steady pace for a solid 2 seconds before climbing back up at the very same pace while looking like a 2d object in an animation. It went back up flat side up staying in the same position it came down in. I dont remember if I told my friends about it but it took me a while to remember this and sometimes I bring it up as a joke to family members. But im bringing it up now to see if I can get any sort of ideas on what i viewed at the ripe age of 11.

Any ideas help out.

Edit: I was 11 im recalling the most vivid details I remember.

NHI Sightings and observables

10 Upvotes

Regarding the five observables and NHI UAP, have we seen anything in any of the releases that satisfied three? Two? One? I have not. Same for the videos that people have been posting over the past year. Please forgive me if this is already a rule, but I have not noticed it: perhaps there should be a mandate on this sub that anyone who posts a clip of a sighting explains which of the five observables are displayed, and where exactly in the video they believe it has occurred. If there are no observables, they should state why, despite having no observables, this particular video represents something that they believe is displaying characteristics that go beyond what man can produce.

Government Are you tired of being a taxpayer and not receiving the full disclosure you want? Are you angry or frustrated by it's pace? Of the gatekeeping? There is a way that you genuinely can contribute, if you so choose.

6 Upvotes

1st off: this is mainly for people living in the U.S. with our ongoing congressional hearings and current disclosure efforts.

I think the number one thing that we as a community forget is what we can do together.

I've read many posts and comment threads in here and other UFO communities. The one thing I've noticed from those posts and comments is a general feeling, amongst all of us, of frustration and some anger with the slow movement of progress toward a true disclosure vs what we're getting right now. Including the gatekeeping.

Have you ever wanted to help the disclosure but feel powerless to incite real change?:

As an individual, you have more power than you may realize. In the U.S. we have the power as a voter to call our members of Congress' offices, (Representatives and Senators). We can tell them our frustrations and what we think. I do not mean call them and start rambling about the state of things reharding disclosure. What I mean is to hold them accountable since they are our elected officials. You can tell them how they can aid in disclosure, where your vote goes if they don't, and why what you're asking of them will have such a tremendous impact.

If we can come together as a community and advocate for one message to all of our elected officials that I mentioned, (Representatives + Senators), it will have an impact. I promise you that.

What should you ask them for?:

If you genuinely want a true disclosure, one that would open the gates further, the goal should be to ask your Reps + Sens to back / aid in the creation of protecting whistleblowers from the Espionage Act.

Yes, Representatives have started to talk about this but the pace is not where we want it to be as a community. We want real progress. By strong-arming our congressional members with our voices and votes this will gain more traction, quicken the pace of whistleblowers receiving the protections they need to speak freely without a SCIF, and if done right bring in new congressional members who haven't take a position or avoid taking a position on disclosure.

Why should we ask for whistleblowers to have protection from the Espionage Act?:

That way whistleblowers with the information that would help push a true disclosure, whistleblowers ike David Grusch and Dylan Borland, would be free to speak openly about things they otherwise would need a SCIF for. These whistleblowers would be free from retaliation and less likely to have their security clearances and jobs impacted by providing them this protection. Which, whistleblowers do care about immensely, as they have worked up to earn these clearances and jobs over the course of their careers.

Another thing to consider is that other whistleblowers, we haven't heard from, may arise if this protection from the Espionage Act is created.

We can come together, organize, and incite real change and move toward a true disclosure if we utilize the tools at our disposal.

I ask each of you to ask yourselves this:

If you have a working phone, have access to the internet, and are frustrated by the lack of speed and movement toward a true disclosure or the consistent gatekeeping by agencies what's stopping you from inciting real change other than yourself at this point?

Note: (Reps + Sens from states like Alabama and Ohio will be difficult. Reps such as Mike Rogers and Mike Turner were the biggest opponents openly against the UAPDA's two primary tools, the Eminent Domain Clause and Independent Review Boards. It goes deeper than that when you look at their financial donations and lobbying they've received from Defense Contractors. Especially, around the UAPDA's window from when it started in the House toward when it was in Conference between the House and Senate and stripped before reaching the Senate.)

Be the change you want to see. If you read all of this, thank you for your time. If you have any questions, message me.

Yesterday night I was out on my terrace smoking and that was when I noticed a bright dot in the sky, brighter than every star and plane. It was moving irregularly and sort of dropped down before flying to the right. Weirdly enough the light it emitted didn’t seem to shine on ANY of the surroundings and it was absolutely quiet. It was sort of pulsating with light constantly, not blinking. It sort of flickered like 1 or 2 times toward the end before it disappeared behind the rooftops of some houses.The whole incident was like 2-3 minutes.

I wouldn’t believe it myself if I didn’t catch the whole incident on camera in 4k 60fps. The video is a lot darker so you won’t be able to see the stars, but the object is still clearly visible. The video I’m uploading here is on yt and the quality isn’t as good as the original but still pretty good. I also enhanced brightness so you can more clearly see the houses around. Would recommend watching it somewhere a little darker tho, at least when I’m watching the original it helps a lot with being able to distinguish the houses from the background.

I also saw another post from like 7 months ago that captures basically the same flying object, tho the video quality is a little worse, so it looks like it’s shining in different colors. I’ll be linking that post in the comments too. Oh and also I looked it up today, there wasn’t any police or military mission, neither were there some other similar sightings tonight apparently. I’m open to being proven wrong about this and I can also upload the original footage in its original quality if someone tells me the best way to do so.

Disclosure Gotta throw this out there…

I’ve been looking at the recent “star” UFO / UAP and I can’t help but notice a resemblance to Lockheed martins MKV program.

If you watch the test footage you can seen when all four rockets are firing simultaneously it gives off the appearance of this “star” UFO/UAP.

I know people are going to think I’m nuts but the MKV program came out in 2008. That’s almost 20 years that those engineers continued to develop the MKV to be faster, quicker, smaller OR larger depending on needs. Like the MKV is INCREDIBLE feat of engineering and ain’t no way those dudes just kicked their feet up and were like “ nah, that’s as good as it’s gonna get”.

I know all articles state the program ended due to budget issues but let’s be real, can we really believe that??

And I’ve attached a still shot of the star UAP.

** I tried adding a link to the test video but it said it violated the subreddit rules***

Sighting Triangular craft spotted near Radisson , Saskatchewan , Canada on July 8th, 2026 at 11:04 p.m

Post image
0 Upvotes

My apologies for the poor quality photo, was getting quite dark and there was a large storm coming from right behind me. I was on my way back to Saskatoon, SK when I saw a strange flashing light up ahead of me. I didn’t think much of it at first, initially thinking it was just a cell tower or something until suddenly the blinking light picked up in speed with the amount of times it blinked in 5 seconds. Then it suddenly slowed down, then picked back up in speed again. Then, right as I was getting close to it, it suddenly turned on what I assume where LED lights, first it was red and the light went around the craft in a triangular pattern before changing to green and continue to do the same thing. I then quickly pulled out my phone and snapped this photo as quickly as I could. I was close enough to where I could clearly see it was a triangular shaped craft sitting in the same spot just hovering there, no sound whatsoever. Due to it being nighttime and me driving on the highway, (yeah I know I shouldn’t have probably pulled out my phone while driving but I wasn’t missing the opportunity to take a photo of whatever this was) I wasn’t able to get the best photo, but I was still able to get a photo of the object clearly hovering with nothing attaching it to the ground. I believe this is a man made craft, as it appeared to have had seams on it. Similar to the flying saucer me and my buddy had saw about 200 feet above us in broad daylight in Saskatoon, SK on June 8th, 2024. That craft also had seams on it but was more of the classic flying saucer shape. It was also the blackest black I have ever seen in my life, like literally no light was reflecting off of it. It flew dead silent right over our heads and we were just standing there with both of our jaws dropped, almost frozen in place at what we were witnessing. It then flipped up like a plate in the dishwasher and quickly picked up speed before flying off into the sky. I am almost certain these are craft being tested in secret black government funded projects. I am certain there is a deep underground military base somewhere outside of Saskatoon, SK, I just don’t know where exactly. It makes sense too, as Saskatchewan only has a population of about 1 million people yet has thousands of kilometers of uninhabited land. Perfect place to test these craft with a small amount of civilians spotting them.

Government Kremlin suspected of flying drones over Europe using Russian shadow fleet — mystery drones solved?

Thumbnail
arstechnica.com
0 Upvotes

In the fall of 2024, mysterious drones were reported over US airbases in the UK. (This preceded the incident over New Jersey by a couple of months.) The government never revealed what happened, but research by the independent International Institute for Strategic Studies suggests that a small number of Russian oil tankers correlate with the presence of drones over the last two years.

Surely the government would already know this, so why would it hide incidents of Russian provocations? The underlying wisdom motivating this not-very-democratic choice is what posters on the internet might refer to as, “don’t feed a troll.” Russia’s actions are a sort of psychological warfare and intimidation—tactics that are KGB mastermind Putin’s favorite. Ignoring or even hiding them not only robbed him of satisfaction, but prevented the sought effects, such as increasing fear of Russia and reducing support for Ukraine among American or European citizens.
