The Chinese balloon is the quintessential UFO - The Atlantic
Residents of Billings, Montana, encountered a rather strange sight this week: A giant white ball hovering in the sky in broad daylight. The ball drifted between clouds and shimmered in the sun. It looked almost like a second moon.
In a way, this is one more uncomfortable chapter in the story of adversarial nations operating in a shared stratosphere. It is also—hear me out—a little refreshing.
Have We Been Visited by Aliens? Depends on Whom You Ask
Logistics manager Nicholas Rehak was visiting his parents' home in Baltimore County, Maryland, several years ago. He was standing on the back deck one night when he noticed a bluish white light.
"It was shaped in a damn near perfect oval and it started to rise," Rehak told VOA. "I'm talking straight up vertical, no deviation. It sat there for nearly 30 seconds and then suddenly it vanished — like a lamp when someone pulls the plug. Just sudden darkness."

Found: An Earth-Mass Planet That's Potentially Habitable And Just 31 Light-Years Away
Wolf 1069 b—which is in the so-called "habitable zone" of its star system, becomes the sixth-closest possible Earth-like planet found so far by exoplanet-hunters.
It was found by the long-term CARMENES survey, which for seven years has been searching for orbiting planets around 324 red dwarf stars.
Jupiter Now Has The Biggest Family Of Planets With 12 Newly Discovered Moons
Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons of Jupiter, taking the total number of natural satellites revolving around the Gas Giant to 92. Now Jupiter, which is the biggest planet in the solar system, has the most number of moons, according to Sky and Telescope.
The findings have been reported by astronomer Scott S. Sheppard from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC who observed the planet between 2021 and 2022. The Minor Planet Center (MPC) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has published the orbits of the new moons.
Jupiter Defeats Saturn as the Planet with the Most Moons
VIVA – Jupiter now becoming the largest in the solar system because scientists have discovered 12 more small moons belonging to Jupiter, bringing its total number of natural satellites to a whopping 92. Therefore, Jupiter has defeated Saturn .

Are We Too Stoned To See an Impending Alien Invasion? | High Times
It was March 1998, and I was driving northbound on Highway 41 just south of Princeton, Indiana when three bright white, yellowish orbs appeared in the distance above a nearby cornfield. The abrupt nature of such an unexpected sight terrified all who witnessed it.
What was strange, aside from the obvious, is that these things didn't appear to fly into the area – not like you might see with an Earth-born aircraft. They just sort of materialized there in the night sky, like they had transported from God knows where to that precise spot in the world.
Some space events happen too slowly to capture as a movie, but a new time-lapse video provides a rare glimpse at another solar system's planets revolving around their star.
Northwestern University astrophysicist Jason Wang squished 12 years of real telescope images into a 4.5-second video of HR 8799, a star considered not too distant from Earth at just over 133 light-years away.

You'll notice the central star is covered up. That's to help us see the faint planets around it. The video has been processed to bring the planets into focus and to smooth out their motion.
HR 8799 is just over 133 light-years away from us in the constellation Pegasus. That still puts it in our cosmic neighborhood. It's a much younger star than our sun and its planets are massive gas giants bigger than Jupiter. What we're seeing is only a small part of their journey.
