The CIA has declassified a massive, long-awaited trove of documents related to UFO sightings over the last 70 years, stoking excitement among those who want to believe in aliens — and frustration among those who want to actually find the proof.
Now the truth is (perhaps) out there in a .ZIP file, though it might take some dedicated digging to find it. The documents deal primarily with UFOs, which by definition remain a mystery.
Not to change the topic here:
Column: The Aliens Among Us Must Be Toying With Us | Opinion | thepilot.com
Things have been getting a little squirrely lately. If you, like I, have been wondering what in the wide wide world of sports is-a goin' on here, the answer might be, well, other-worldly.
In a double-bylined story posted last week on the NBC News website, we were told that aliens may be toying with us — and you'll be shocked (or not) as to who knows.
"A former Israeli space security chief has sent eyebrows shooting heavenward by saying that earthlings have been in contact with extraterrestrials from a 'galactic federation,'" the story starts.
Worth Watching: 'Superstore' reopens, a new 'Search Party' and 'Locked Down' on HBO Max, 'UFO
Superstore (8:30/7:30c, NBC): How we're going to miss shopping for laughs at Cloud 9. As the long-running comedy returns from a winter break for its final 11 episodes, it's in top form with a whimsical approach to the hot-button topic of systemic racism. The catalyst: a corporate decision to no longer lock up Black hair-care products.
UFO Witness (streaming on Discovery+): History's fictionalized Project Blue Book may be history, but this eight-part docuseries (premiering with three episodes before rolling out weekly on Thursdays) reopens many of those infamous case files alleging UFO encounters. Ben Hansen, a former federal agent and paranormal investigator, leads the charge with fellow investigator Mark O'Connell, a biographer of Project Blue Book's legendary chief scientific consultant Dr. Allen J. Hynek.
Weird radio beam probably isn't aliens but it's the best candidate yet | New Scientist
Astronomers have spotted what may be the strongest candidate yet for an alien signal. Researchers at the Breakthrough Listen project have found an unusual beam of radio light coming from around our nearest neighbouring star, Proxima Centauri, according to a report in The Guardian on 18 December.
In fact, the researchers aren’t claiming much about it at all. News of the signal came to light by a researcher speaking to The Guardian before the scientific paper on it has been published – the data analysis isn’t yet complete, so nobody can be sure exactly what this strange radio beam is. All we know so far is that it is peculiar.
While you're here, how about this:
I'm an astronomer and I think aliens may be out there – but UFO sightings aren't persuasive
If intelligent aliens visit the Earth, it would be one of the most profound events in human history.
Surveys show that nearly half of Americans believe that aliens have visited the Earth, either in the ancient past or recently. That percentage has been increasing. Belief in alien visitation is greater than belief that Bigfoot is a real creature, but less than belief that places can be haunted by spirits.
Scientists dismiss these beliefs as not representing real physical phenomena. They don't deny the existence of intelligent aliens. But they set a high bar for proof that we've been visited by creatures from another star system. As Carl Sagan said , "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
What's behind the Pentagon's new UFO task force, UAPTF? | Explainer
Pentagon admits UFO program still exists. But Navy's alien sightings don't quite add up.
Is it vindication at last? The New York Times has recently reported that a supposedly canceled Pentagon project to investigate strange aerial phenomena is still showing a pulse. The clandestine effort, originally known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, was said to have ended in 2012. But, apparently, it's still doing its thing under the auspices of the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence, and with a new name: the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force.

Wow" "What is that man?" "There's a whole screen of them. My gosh." "They're all going against the wind. The wind's 120 knots from west." "Dude." "That's not — is it?"

On Monday, the Pentagon released three Navy videos that have driven speculation about unidentified flying objects for years, saying it meant to " clear up any misconceptions " about whether the unclassified footage was real or complete.
