Enigma Hits Oshkosh 2024 – the latest from our whirlwind visit to Aviation’s mecca | Enigma Labs

In response, in 2019, the U.S. Navy announced it takes UAP reports seriously and drafted new guidelines for UAP reporting. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) was stood up, tasked with collecting and analyzing UAP reports, and created an online report form that military personnel can privately report to.

OpenMinds.tv in WikiLeaks: Reference by Clinton campaign for Bill Clinton’s UFO interests and remarks – Openminds.tv

One of the big stories during the election was the release of leaked emails by WikiLeaks of the alleged emails of Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta. Among these emails were the behind the scenes organizing of Hillary’s appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! On her latest appearance on the program, she discussed UFOs, and apparently, her staffers used an OpenMinds.tv article as background regarding Bill Clinton’s prior UFO comments. It was expected by many that Kimmel would be asking Hi...

Did History's Unidentified Influence Congress and UFO Disclosure?

History’s Unidentified is like no other show on television, and perhaps like no other show that has ever been on TV. It follows UFO researchers in an organization called To the Stars Academy of Art and Science (TTSA), as they investigate credible cases. Reality shows following UFO researchers are common enough, but what is unique about this show is the makeup of the team, which includes a rock star, a former executive of a company that develops top-secret aircraft and built Area 51, a former int

Real UFO History: Einstein, Tesla, Edison, and Marconi on Radio Signals from Aliens

The Vast of Night features an alien radio signal mystery, not too dissimilar to the alien signal mysteries the famous inventors of the radio faced.

This article is presented by: A switchboard operator and a DJ in a small town in the 1950s discover a strange, potentially alien, audio signal that leads them on a wild investigation to find the origins of the signal. This is the plot for The Vast of Night, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Could our first contact with aliens be as simpl

The X-Files Revealed: The Paranormal Roots of the Pentagon’s UFO Program

At the end of 2017, The New York Times broke the story of a secretive Pentagon program with a budget of $22 million to investigate UFOs called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). The man who exposed the existence of the program, Luis Elizondo, was the former head of the project. Elizondo’s ongoing efforts to investigate the UFO mystery with his new employer, the To the Stars Academy (TTSA), will be featured in a History Channel series premiering May 31 called Unidentifi

How Roswell, New Mexico Gained Its Alien Reputation

We’re glad you asked! We’re here to tell you all about the “real” alien history of Roswell, and there’s two ways to do it. You can watch our mini-documentary for some quick facts, or keep scrolling and read the article for more in-depth knowledge. Roswell, New Mexico is a desert town about 200 miles southeast of Albuquerque. It is the fifth largest town in New Mexico, but much more provincial than Santa Fe, another well-known New Mexico destination similar in size. While visitors from around the

Astronaut Peggy Whitson Overcame Her Doubters To Spend The Most Days In Space

Astronaut Peggy Whitson says after she finished college, famous space scientist Dr. James Van Allen discouraged her from seeking a career as an astronaut. She says he told her, “I’d probably ought to find a different career.” Fortunately, she did not take his advice. Her advice to those pursuing their passions is never to let anyone else change your direction.

Whitson has a bachelor of science in biology and chemistry and a Ph.D. in biochemistry, and she currently holds the record for being the

Astronaut Scott Kelly Saw The Unexplainable In Space

Scott Kelly, the U.S. astronaut who took part in the year-long – it was actually 340 days – mission on the International Space Station (ISS) has spent over 520 days in space during his four off-planet missions. Kelly says he has seen some weird things, but he doesn’t think any of them were aliens. According to the New York Times, the Department of Defense has a project that looks into military UFO sightings. The story made worldwide headlines last December. Luis Elizondo, who ran the project, sa

How Russia and China Ignited the New Space Race to the Moon

A return to the moon is closer than you think. But who will get there first?

The late 1950s saw the beginning of the modern space age and a new off-planet battleground for the Cold War. The victor would be the first to set foot on the moon. While Russia took an early lead, the U.S. eventually won the Cold War in space by landing Apollo 11 on July 20th, 1969. Just like in the ‘50s, the U.S. is entering this new race to the moon a few steps behind. With Russia and China planning manned missions t

Majestic 12: Is This Legendary UFO Conspiracy U.S. Air Force Disinformation? (VIDEO)

Majestic 12 is the name of an alleged organization created by President Truman to manage UFO and extraterrestrial investigations and maintaining strict secrecy in these areas. Many believe they have gone so far as to kill to keep secrets regarding interactions with the U.S. government and extraterrestrial civilizations.

The question begs, if this group is so super secret, like they are represented on TV, then how do we know about them? The answer to that question is a tricky one. Most reference

Ex-Air Force Law Enforcement Agent Says He Hoaxed Major UFO Mythologies

I have been researching UFOs for many years, delving deep into the underbelly of UFO lore, and one name seems to frequently pop up. His name is Richard Doty, and in the 1980s he was a special agent for the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) stationed at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He claims that while he was there he was tasked with hoaxing documents and feeding false information to UFO researchers. The Air Force refuses to comment on whether they kne

Bill Clinton talks about UFOs and Area 51 again

Even though it is Jimmy Carter who famously had a UFO sighting, Bill Clinton seems to be the one who talks the most about them, and he is open to the idea of extraterrestrial visitation. He has a long history of association with the UFO subject and Area 51 that spans back throughout his presidency.

UFO buffs, and reporters, where poised at their televisions last night, ready to find out if Jimmy Kimmel would keep his promise when the other night he said he would ask Clinton about UFOs when he c

Obama First to Name Area 51, but Clinton Talked About It Too (VIDEOS)

A lot of buzz is going around this week about President Obama mentioning Area 51 by name at a reception celebrating the 2013 Kennedy Center Honorees on Sunday. However, Bill Clinton has also made reference to the secretive base in the Nevada desert, although he did not dare utter its name, which at the time was still classified.

One of the honorees at the Kennedy Center was Shirley McLaine. Not only is she known for her lifetime of groundbreaking work as a brilliant and memorable actress, but s

Area 51 Has Been in Government Documents for Years (VIDEO)

The news has been ablaze with the CIA's revelation that Area 51 actually exists. However, this is not the first government document obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to name the base.

The National Security Archive at George Washington University recently posted a document obtained via a FOIA request from 2005 that finally officially acknowledges the existence of Area 51. The document is a CIA report on overhead reconnaissance, and details the history of the development of the U

Science, UFOs and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Video)

Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, recently wrote in a The Huffington Post blog that UFOs are "a phenomenon worthy of attention," and I agree. SETI is in the business of searching for signals from intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations, and although Shostak's story continued to highlight some of the wild email correspondence he receives from people convinced that ET is already visiting us, SETI was once viewed as fringe itself. However, devoted scientists worked hard to m

Spielberg Says ET Was Originally About Alleged Alien Attack

Spielberg has recently said that his famous family-friendly alien film, ET: The Extraterrestrial, was originally going to recount the alleged horrific experience of a family in rural Kentucky who says they were harassed by aliens. ET was eventually toned down, but creatures similar to the mischievous "little green men" reported in Kentucky terrorized an entire town in his movie Gremlins.

The Kentucky encounter never made it to the silver screen because Spielberg was able to talk Harrison Ford's

Prince Philip's UFO Interest Inspires New Biography

Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and husband to the queen of England, is also a fervent UFO aficionado. His UFO interests are not only included in a new biography, author Philip Eade writes in his forward that the idea for the biography came about when he was considering writing a book about prominent ufologists in the period after World War II. The biography is titled, Prince Philip: The Turbulent Early Life of the Man Who Married Queen Elizabeth II, and proves to be a great read.
