A former combat officer in Afghanistan and intelligence official told Congress that covert programs exist that know about extraterrestrial beings’ spacecraft that have been retrieved.
David Charles Grusch, 36, who served with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), made his claims to Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General, The Debrief <a href="https://thedebrief.org/intelligence-officials-say-u-s-has-retrieved-non-human-craft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. According to a 2021 NRO Performance Report, Grusch “analyzed unidentified aerial phenomena reports” and “boosted congressional leadership Intel gaps [in] understanding.” Grusch also helped create the <a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20221205/BILLS-117hres_-SUS.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act</a>.

Grusch claimed partial fragments as well as complete vehicles &#8220;of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures” have been retrieved.
“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch said, adding, “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”
According to Karl E. Nell, formerly the Army’s liaison for the UAP Task Force from 2021 to 2022, Grusch is “beyond reproach.”
“A number of well-placed current and former officials have shared detailed information with me regarding this alleged program, including insights into the history, governing documents and the location where a craft was allegedly abandoned and recovered,” Christopher Mellon, who served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, said. “However, it is a delicate matter getting this potentially explosive information into the right hands for validation. This is made harder by the fact that, rightly or wrongly, a number of potential sources do not trust the leadership of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office established by Congress.”
“The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone,” Jonathan Grey, who works for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), echoed. “Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.”
“Though a tough nut to crack, potential technological advancements may be gleaned from non-human intelligence/UAP retrievals by any sufficiently advanced nation and then used to wage asymmetrical warfare, so, therefore, some secrecy must remain,” Grey added. “However, it is no longer necessary to continue to deny that these advanced technologies derived from non-human intelligence exist at all or to deny that these technologies have landed, crashed, or fallen into the hands of human beings.”

&#8220;No, I probably would not want to go back,&#8221; Shatner said. &#8220;What I experienced was not so much the flight into space but my observation. Everybody knows we live on a small rock, and that up to 12,500 feet, oxygen is there.&#8221;
&#8220;And after that, as you go higher, you get into a dead zone,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So there&#8217;s the Karman line is 50 miles up. Oxygen is two miles up. We live on a small rock. I saw the beginning of the curvature of the Earth.&#8221;

Extraterrestrial beings may be hiding on distant planets which have a “terminator zone,” a habitable band at the transition between the non-rotating planets’ warm, day side and the cold, dark night side, researchers conjecture.
That “terminator zone” would feature liquid water, which serves as a vital ingredient for life. Astronomers from the University of California, Irvine found exoplanets that have such “terminator zones.”
“These planets have a permanent day side and a permanent night side,” Ana Lobo, who led the study, <a href="https://news.uci.edu/2023/03/16/terminator-zones-on-distant-planets-could-harbor-life-uc-irvine-astronomers-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated.</a> “This is a planet where the dayside can be scorching hot, well beyond habitability, and the night side is going to be freezing, potentially covered in ice. You could have large glaciers on the night side.”
“You want a planet that’s in the sweet spot of just the right temperature for having liquid water,” she opined.  “We are trying to draw attention to more water-limited planets, which despite not having widespread oceans, could have lakes or other smaller bodies of liquid water, and these climates could actually be very promising.”
Lobo noted that such planets are abundant because the stars near them comprise roughly 70% of M-dwarf stars, which we can see at night.
Terminator zones can be subject to constant winds caused by the difference between the cold and warm sides of the planet.  Such planets, if mostly covered with water, typically see the water evaporate, but land mitigates the effect.
The UCI researchers conducted modeling using a 3D global climate model “to determine whether it is possible to sustain a temperature gradient large enough for a terminator habitability scenario, and to explore the implications of terminator habitability for future climate characterization studies,” the study <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/aca970" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated.</a>
“It is not our goal to precisely quantify the habitable-zone edge, given that its location is dependent on a large range of properties, including planetary radius and surface gravity among many other factors but rather to explore the mechanisms through which the atmosphere responds to increased stellar flux, including changes in the radiative budget and atmospheric energy transport, in order to determine the viability of these surface climate configurations,” they added.
“Ana has shown if there’s a lot of land on the planet, the scenario we call ‘terminator habitability’ can exist a lot more easily,” Lobo’s teammate Aomawa Shields of UCI enthused. “These new and exotic habitability states our team is uncovering are no longer the stuff of science fiction — Ana has done the work to show that such states can be climatically stable.”

NASA’s Kepler mission confirmed the discovery of its first rocky planet, named Kepler-10b.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/outer-space" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Astronomers</a> have sighted a supermassive black hole traveling through space that appears to have been ejected from its host galaxy.
Researchers observing the dwarf galaxy designated RCP 28, roughly 7.5 billion light years away from our solar system, <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04888" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noticed</a> an aberrant streak of light via the Hubble telescope. The “streak” appears to be a collection of stars being dragged out of their home galaxy by the immense gravitational force of a black hole.
The “runaway” black hole is the first of its kind to be observed, and appears to have been ejected from its original galaxy.
&#8220;We found a thin line in a Hubble image that is pointing to the center of a galaxy,” Professor Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University, the lead author of the study, <a href="https://www.livescience.com/runaway-black-hole-the-size-of-20-million-suns-found-speeding-through-space-with-a-trail-of-newborn-stars-behind-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “From a detailed analysis of the feature, we inferred that we are seeing a very massive black hole that was ejected from the galaxy, leaving a trail of gas and newly formed stars in its wake.&#8221;
The “stellar tail” in its wake is 200,000 light-years long, twice the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy.
The black hole in question is believed to be 20 million times more massive than the Sun, and it is traveling away from RCP 28 at a rate of 3.5 million miles per hour, roughly 4,500 times the speed of sound.
Black holes are celestial bodies where matter has been condensed and concentrated to such an extent that even light cannot escape its gravitational pull — as such, black holes are almost impossible to observe directly, and are usually spotted via their effects on nearby stars and nebulae (clouds of interstellar gas).
Black holes form during the collapse of exceptionally large stars. During the process of a large supernova, the gravitational force at the core of the star becomes so intense that it <a href="https://news.uchicago.edu/explainer/black-holes-explained" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overpowers the other fundamental forces</a> (the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism), allowing incredible amounts of matter to be compressed into an exceptionally small space: physicists estimate that a black hole with the mass of our sun would measure only <a href="https://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/objects/black_holes2.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6km in diameter</a> (for comparison, the Sun measures ~1,400,000 km in diameter, making the blackhole 343 quadrillion times as dense).
Physicists <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/research-and-innovation/en/horizon-magazine/how-did-supermassive-black-holes-grow-so-fast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">don’t understand</a> exactly how supermassive black holes (which range from hundreds of thousands to billions of times more massive than the Sun) formed, but they are believed to play a crucial role in galaxy formation as virtually every observed galaxy has one at its core, which their various stellar systems orbit. It&#8217;s unclear how such a massive object could be dislodged from its position in the galactic core.
&#8220;The most likely scenario that explains everything we&#8217;ve seen is a slingshot, caused by a three-body interaction,&#8221; van Dokkum <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/runaway-black-hole-the-size-of-20-million-suns-found-speeding-through-space-with-a-trail-of-newborn-stars-behind-it/ar-AA17LPzM?cvid=76fdd1e8129e41f3b64eb016c04c4340&amp;ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;When three similar-mass bodies gravitationally interact, the interaction does not lead to a stable configuration but usually to the formation of a binary and the ejection of the third body. &#8230; Ejected supermassive black holes had been predicted for 50 years but none have been unambiguously seen. Most theorists think that there should be many out there.&#8221;

The number of reports from U.S. military personnel revolving around UFOs has increased substantially in the last year.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a <a href="https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Unclassified-2022-Annual-Report-UAP.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> on Thursday revealing that 510 such reports have been filed, including the 144 incidents mentioned in its June 2021 unclassified report on “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.”
“Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) reporting is increasing, enabling a greater awareness of the airspace and increased opportunity to resolve UAP events,” the report stated. “In addition to the 144 UAP reports covered during the 17 years of UAP reporting included in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) preliminary assessment, there have been 247 new reports and another 119 that were either since discovered or reported after the preliminary assessment’s time period.”
The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established by the deputy secretary of defense in July 2022, determined that of the 366 newly-identified reports, more than half exhibited unremarkable characteristics, writing that 26 were characterized as unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) or UAS-like entities; 163 were characterized as balloon or balloon-like entities; and six were attributed to clutter.
The majority of claims came from U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force aviators and operators, the report stated.
Some of the terms ARO intended to use to describe UAPs include “Range Fouler,” a “UAP interrupting pre-planned training or other military activity in military operating areas or restricted airspace,” and “Transmedium Objects or Devices,” defined as “objects or devices that are observed to transition between space and the atmosphere, or between the atmosphere and bodies of water, that are not immediately identifiable.”
The report was supposed to be released by the end of October. In December, Ron Moultrie, the undersecretary of defense for intelligence and security, was <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3249303/usdis-ronald-moultrie-and-dr-sean-kirkpatrick-media-roundtable-on-the-all-domai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> if he had “affirmative evidence” that he had collected that showed any one of the anomalies was a space alien. Moultrie replied, “The answer&#8217;s no, we have nothing. &#8230; We have not seen anything that would lead us to believe that any of the objects that we have seen are of alien origin, if you will. If we find something like that, we will look at it and analyze it and take the appropriate actions.”
AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick cautioned, “I would just say we are structuring our analysis to be very thorough and rigorous. We will go through it all. And as a physicist, I have to adhere to the scientific method, and I will follow that data and science wherever it goes.”

A new era of discovering how stars are born is at hand, as NASA’s James Webb Telescope observed the Cosmic Cliffs, a star-forming region inside the NGC 3324 star cluster in the Carina Nebula, and found invisible areas of star birth that had never been seen before.
The Webb Telescope discovered behind heretofore impenetrable dust clouds energetic jets and outflows from young stars. The discovery might illuminate how radiation from nearby massive stars affects planets’ development.
“The two dozen previously unknown outflows from extremely young stars were found by analyzing data from a specific wavelength of infrared light (4.7 microns),” NASA <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/webb-uncovers-young-stars-outbursts-in-carina-nebula">reported</a>. “Webb’s observations uncovered a gallery of objects ranging from small fountains to burbling behemoths that extend light-years from the forming stars.”
According to NASA, the initial formation of a star is a “relatively fleeting event – just a few thousand to 10,000 years amid a multi-million-year process of star formation,” but as Megan Reiter, the leader of the study enthused, the Webb Telescope captured a “snapshot in time,” adding, “It opens the door for what&#8217;s going to be possible in terms of looking at these populations of newborn stars in fairly typical environments of the universe that have been invisible up until the James Webb Space Telescope.”
“Jets like these are signposts for the most exciting part of the star formation process,” Nathan Smith, who authored the study, <a href="applewebdata://0EEE26BC-5759-4198-8FE8-1C1C89593E1B/v">celebrated</a>. “We only see them during a brief window of time when the protostar is actively accreting.”
Team member Jon Morse echoed, “It&#8217;s like finding buried treasure. &#8230; In the image first released in July, you see hints of this activity, but these jets are only visible when you embark on that deep dive – dissecting data from each of the different filters and analyzing each area alone.”
In October, the famed Pillars of Creation, columns deep in space made of gas and dust whose majestic images were first captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1985, got a stunning makeover in images the James Webb Space Telescope.
The images, far more detailed and conducted with Webb’s Near-Infrared camera, illuminated the luminous stars in the Eagle Nebula roughly 6,500 light-years from Earth.
“The Webb is designed to see infrared light, electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light — colors no human eye has ever seen,” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/19/science/webb-pillars-of-creation-image.html?action=click&amp;module=Well&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;section=Science">The New York Times</a> noted.
Webb’s view of the Pillars of Creation would let “researchers revamp their models of star formation by identifying far more precise counts of newly formed stars,” <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2022/nasa-s-webb-takes-star-filled-portrait-of-pillars-of-creation">NASA</a> cheered.
Newly-formed stars that look bright red rest near the Pillars; lava-like wavy lines at the edges of the Pillars result from stars within the Pillars ejecting matter. “The crimson glow comes from the energetic hydrogen molecules that result from jets and shocks. This is evident in the second and third pillars from the top,” NASA explained.

Hollywood legend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nicolas-cage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicolas Cage</a> revealed in a recent interview that, as a child, he had truly believed that he was from another planet.
Cage explained to <a href="https://ramp.space/en/issue/by-the-way" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rampstyle</a> magazine that his younger self was so entirely convinced that he was an alien that a simple trip to the doctor&#8217;s office — and a view inside his own body — had once delivered a massive paradigm shift.
&#8220;I was shocked the day I went to the doctor’s office as a child and I found out that I had normal organs and a normal skeleton because I was certain I was from another planet,&#8221; Cage said, going on to add that one of the main reasons he had <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/13/nicolas-cage-thought-he-was-an-alien-as-a-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">believed that</a> was because he had always found relating to other people to be painfully difficult.
&#8220;My father told me he felt like he had to introduce himself to me because I was such an alien,&#8221; Cage said of his father, the late author and film executive August Coppola.
Cage then explained that the feeling of being alien — along with a little inspiration from late artist David Bowie — led him toward acting.
&#8220;I had difficulties connecting with other people. When I saw David Bowie in ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth,’ I realized I needed to do something, so I became an actor,&#8221; he said.
Cage is no stranger to finding himself in the middle of, well, strange stories — it was revealed in a New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/03/23/nicolas-cages-wild-menagerie-included-a-two-headed-snake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> published earlier this year that the Oscar-winning actor had once owned a two-headed snake and enjoyed the fact that his pet crow insulted him when he left the room.
The &#8220;National Treasure&#8221; actor explained he had bought the two-headed reptile for $80,000 after dreaming about an eagle with two heads — but because the two heads fought over food, he eventually donated it to the Audubon Zoo.
&#8220;Both heads were fully functional and capable of swallowing. We had to take turns feeding each head and place a rubber spatula between the heads to prevent one head from fighting over the other head’s food,&#8221; Robert Mendyk, curator of herpetology at the zoo, explained to the Post.
As for the crow, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2022-01-26/nicolas-cage-on-pig-elvis-dracula-and-his-career" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cage says</a> Hoogan talks — and he&#8217;s not very complimentary: &#8220;When I leave the room, he’ll go &#8216;bye&#8217; and then go, &#8216;A**.’”

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harvard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard</a> astrophysicist is organizing an archeological expedition to the South <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pacific-ocean" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pacific</a> in search of a possible <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/aliens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alien</a> probe.
Professor Abraham &#8220;Avi&#8221; Loeb <a href="https://www.news.com.au/national/ive-got-news-for-you/podcast/addc2b261d7ffa5efaf36d1dc52803c0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Tuesday that he had received $1.5 million in funding to lead an expedition to Papua New Guinea (PNG), an island north of Australia, to scope the ocean floor for a 2014 meteor that crashed into the ocean which he suspects may be of alien origin.
“The fundamental question is whether it was an unusual rock from another star, or was it a spacecraft,” Loeb <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/16/harvard-professor-avi-loeb-to-search-for-crashed-alien-technology/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&amp;utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_source=NYPTwitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during an episode of the “I’ve Got News For You” podcast. “We’re planning an expedition to Papua New Guinea and scoop the ocean floor and figure out the composition of this object.”
Some believe that the object, which was officially identified as an interstellar meteor by the U.S. government, could be some kind of an alien probe. The object is said to be the first confirmed object known to have crashed into Earth from another solar system.
Loeb’s expedition to PNG, a former Australian colony, will head to the nation’s Manus Island, where the object went down in the waters around the island. Manus Island was also the location for many years of an Australian detention center for migrants.

The trip will take place in March or April 2023 as the researchers hope to find the object in order to better understand its composition. They will be using giant magnets to comb the Pacific floor where the meteor is believed to have crashed.
In 2017, another object, known as the ​​Oumuamua, or “messenger sent from the distant past,” slingshotted around the sun. At the time, it was the <a class="c-link" tabindex="-1" href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5vd4w/alien-hunting-astronomer-says-there-may-be-a-second-interstellar-object-on-earth-in-new-study" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5vd4w/alien-hunting-astronomer-says-there-may-be-a-second-interstellar-object-on-earth-in-new-study" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-remove-tab-index="true">first known</a> interstellar object to pass through our solar system — before speculation from Loeb and later confirmation from the government about the 2014 meteor.
“And then with my student a couple of years later, we found that actually four years before Oumuamua there was a meteor that was discovered by the U.S. government, which moved really fast at 28 miles per second, disintegrated in the lower atmosphere of the Earth about 100 miles off the coast of Papua New Guinea, and it came from outside the solar system,” he said.
Loeb, who is in charge of Harvard’s UFO-research dedicated Galileo Program, added that the light curve of the meteor demonstrated that it was composed of something stronger than iron and most other space rocks studied by the government.

Due to the fact that the nearest star to Earth is more than 25 trillion miles away and the fact it would take millions of years to reach the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy, Loeb claims that any alien civilization would likely send a probe instead of attempting a journey itself due to the “hazardous conditions of space.”
“I call these AI astronauts and most likely we will see gadgets that are very intelligent; they might be well ahead of what we have,” he said. “It might take us a while to figure out what they really are doing here and what they’re seeking, but at the same time we can distinguish them from rocks, natural objects like meteors falling on Earth.”
The scientist added that he had promised to ensure that any “gadget” found at the bottom of the ocean would go to a museum, and not end up with the government. “Because it would represent modernity for us, even though it represents ancient history for the senders,” he said.
Speculation about otherworldly beings crashing near PNG is not the first time the island has been <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2004-03-12/png-hunts-giant-mystery-creature/150454" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shrouded</a> in mystery. In 2004, police scoured remote areas of the island with M-16s and machetes after locals reported a “dinosaur” sighting. The animal apparently had the tail of a crocodile and the head of a dog.
