Did Avi Loeb spot an extraterrestrial spaceship in the night sky – or was it merely the reflection of his own obsessions?

BY OSCAR SCHWARTZ

There are almost two dozen observatories dotted across Hawaii. The dry, thin air atop the volcanoes of the archipelago makes this an ideal place to gaze into the night sky. Over the past decade, the telescopes here have probed deep into neighbouring solar systems, transforming our understanding of the galaxy. Many used to think that Earth was an anomaly within a cosmic void. Now astronomers have identified thousands of planets and reckon that the Milky Way is filled with billions more, many of them similar to ours.

On a clear summer’s night in 2017, a crowd gathered at an observatory near the treeless summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s highest volcano, to listen to one of the world’s foremost astronomers deliver a lecture about these far-away planets: are they all barren or might some be hospitable to life?

      The Pentyrch UFO Case: Suppressed evidence of human-alien combat
      By USH
      For three days, military aircraft circled the quiet Welsh village of Pentyrch, as if anticipating something extraordinary. Then, on Friday, February 26, 2016 at exactly 2:30 AM, their patience was rewarded as a colossal black/glowing pyramid-shaped object suddenly materialized in the sky above the village. 

      What followed was a four-minute battle between military forces and unknown objects that left witnesses paralyzed and the government scrambling to cover their tracks. 
      Caz Clarke watched the entire encounter unfold from her backyard. She witnessed something “absolutely out of this world.”  
      She recalled being drawn outside in the early morning hours by an overwhelming light illuminating the fields behind her home. Above her loomed a massive pyramid-shaped object glowing in the night sky. 
      Clarke described how the UFO appeared to “scan” her before releasing two smaller objects, one red, one green, that split off in opposite directions. 
      For eight years, she fought the Ministry of Defense to uncover the truth. Her investigation revealed illegal operations, falsified documents, and a coordinated cover-up that reached the highest levels of government. 
      The evidence suggests our military has protocols for hunting UFOs and procedures for retrieval operations. This wasn’t an isolated event — it was part of an ongoing, hidden agenda.

      Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS possibly hostile alien probe
      By USH
      3I/ATLAS as an interstellar visitor, discovered on July 1. Estimated to be up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) wide, it’s barreling toward the Sun at over 130,000 mph. Fortunately, it won’t come closer to Earth than 1.6 astronomical units — about 150 million miles (240 million kilometers) according to NASA. 

      NASA insists there's no reason for concern — it’s just a comet, end of story. But here's where things get interesting: 3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar object to enter our solar system, following the enigmatic ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and comet Borisov in 2019. And like those two, it behaves in ways that deviate from what we expect of natural comets. 
      A newly published paper on the preprint server arXiv (July 16) challenges NASA’s official explanation. The study, co-authored by three scientists, including Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, suggests that 3I/ATLAS might not be a comet at all. Instead, the team proposes it could be an artificial object: a surveillance probe sent by an unknown extraterrestrial intelligence, possibly even one with hostile intent. 
      Loeb, warns that if this hypothesis turns out to be accurate, the consequences for humanity could be profound. He suggests that preparing defensive countermeasures might be necessary if this object poses a real threat. 
      What makes 3I/ATLAS so unusual? 
      According to Loeb, the object’s trajectory is so rare that the odds of a natural comet following the same path are less than 0.005%. 
      It will pass unusually close to three planets — Venus, Mars, and Jupiter — raising further suspicion. 
      Most telling of all: 3I/ATLAS lacks a coma, the cloud of gas and dust that typically surrounds comets. 
      "When analyzed with an open mind, the data offers compelling evidence that 3I/ATLAS may be technological in nature," Loeb explained. 
      In fact, Loeb outlines eight specific reasons why this object likely isn't a natural interstellar visitor — and why it may be of artificial origin. (You can read his full breakdown (here). 
      The idea that this mysterious object might be an alien craft, possibly one preparing for closer contact with Earth, is unsettling to say the least. For now, we can only wait, watch... and wonder. View the full article

      "We got it from them" - Former NASA flight surgeon breaks silence about alien technology
      By USH
      In 1992, Dr. Gregory Rogers a NASA flight surgeon and former Chief of Aerospace Medicine witnessed an event that would stay with him for more than three decades. Now, after years of silence, he’s finally revealing the details of a 15-minute encounter that shattered everything he thought he knew about aerospace technology. 

      With a distinguished career that includes support for 31 space shuttle launches, training as an F-16 pilot, and deep involvement in classified aerospace programs, Dr. Rogers brings unmatched credibility to the conversation. His firsthand account of observing what appeared to be a reverse-engineered craft, emblazoned with "U.S. Air Force" markings, raises profound questions about the true timeline of UAP development and disclosure. 
      The full interview spans nearly two hours. To help navigate the discussion, here’s a timeline so you can jump to the segments that interest you most.
