UFOs

The Pentagon is coming clean about a number of unidentifiable flying phenomena in a new report ... including one "near miss" encounter between a commercial plane and a UFO on the East Coast.

The eyebrow-raising case, which was among 757 instances explored in the report, took place in the past year off the coast of New York state. Per the annual report, an airline crew flagged a "near miss with a ‘cylindrical object’ while over the Atlantic Ocean" to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Though it's unclear when exactly the instance took place, or which airline was involved, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office is investigating the matter ... as there may have been a "flight safety issue" during the unexplained encounter.

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or UAPs, are a threat to national security and, if those who built them are our enemies, then their mere existence constitutes one of the largest intelligence failures ever ... so says a former Defense Department official who testified before Congress.

Luis Elizondo -- an author and former DoD official -- appeared alongside several other UAP experts in front of Congress Wednesday to discuss the threat UAPs pose to America.

Check out the clip ... Nancy Mace -- a Republican congresswoman from South Carolina -- asks Elizondo if UAPs are made by private businesses or extraterrestrials, since he says governments do not control this tech.

Elon Musk needs a close encounter before he's ready to say aliens have visited Earth ... arguing UFOs are probably classified government technology, not evidence of extraterrestrial life.

The controversial tech billionaire sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson, posted to X, this week ... and, the two got right down to all the UFOs people have filmed recently -- and, while Elon says he knows the unidentified flying objects are real, he's still yet to see an alien body.

EM says SpaceX alone has around 6,000 satellites out in space ... and, he says they've never had to move out of Marvin the Martian's way. Basically, if aliens exist ... where are they?

There's some interesting paintings inside the Vatican ... and it's worth taking a closer look at what's being depicted in the sky.

TMZ Studios has a new series, "Strange & Suspicious," now airing on a dozen FOX stations, where we explore unexplained and downright weird stories, and now we're combing over the artwork inside the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church.

In several paintings that are centuries old, there are some mysterious shapes in the heavens above ... sparking comparisons to flying saucers.

There's something going on with U.S. Presidents and UFOs ... they've been briefed on the subject, but won't say anything publicly ... and Donald Trump seems scared of disclosure.

TMZ Studios has a new series, "Strange & Suspicious," now airing on a dozen FOX stations, where we explore strange, unexplained and downright weird stories, and former presidents' silence on extraterrestrials speaks volumes.

Trump sounds like he knows something YUGE when it comes to UFOs ... but he always waffles on the issue, at least on camera ... and there may be a reason behind his reluctance to spill the beans.

Rob Kardashian broke his elusive tendencies and appeared on his family's show to discuss a matter close to his heart ... conspiracy theories about aliens.

Kris Jenner's only son made a rare appearance on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians" ... as he joined taping for the show via a phone call to back up sister Khloe's stance on extraterrestrial beings.

Check it out ... the family got on the topic of aliens while discussing the viral Miami moment, where conspiracy theorists claimed aliens visited a mall in the Sunshine state.

UFOs are seemingly all around us these days ... and the latest sighting of one of these unidentified saucers occurred in Nevada on Friday.

Here's what happened ... a woman named Katrina and her buddies were hanging out in the city of Henderson around 10 PM when they suddenly saw a bright round light shimmering high up in the sky.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ ... the glistening object started flying in a diagonal pattern before moving up and down. At some point, you can see a plane streaking by, but it never gets too close to the alleged UFO.

Another alleged UFO has been spotted in New York City -- if you buy this blink-and-you'll-miss-it footage, that is ... which looks eerily similar to other sightings of late.

Check out this video obtained by TMZ ... which lasts no more than a nanosecond, but where an unidentified object whizzes across a clear blue sky during a Blue Angels demonstration in Long Island last Friday.

The object in-question moves at a wildly fast speed ... as one of the planes does its thing in the air -- and considering this is a super hornet jet we're looking at, it's damn impressive.

LaMelo Ball is vying to be the NBA's most tatted hooper ... the Charlotte Hornets star just got his entire back tattooed, and the space-themed ink is awesome!

TMZ Sports has learned the All-Star guard went to his go-to guy, Herchell L. Carrasco -- AKA RockRollG -- at Pachuco Tattoo in Orange, California ... after months and months planning the huge tattoo.

Ball wanted to keep with the space-themed tats ... so RockRollG had friends Niz Carrillo, Jorge Garibay, Juan Nambo, Jonas Aguilar, and Elvis Ramos help him bring the concept together.

Un OVNI parece haber sido captado por la cámara volando a través del cielo de Nueva York...

Michelle Reyes estaba volando recientemente sobre el aeropuerto de La Guardia y filmando el paisaje desde su ventana, y fue entonces que capturó algo que cruzó el cielo a toda velocidad. Cuando se ralentiza, sin duda parece algo fuera de este mundo.

Se distingue un objeto oscuro y cilíndrico que vuela por la ventana del avión de Michelle mientras filma el horizonte de la ciudad. Según Michelle, ella no es la única pasajera que vio al posible OVNI.

A UFO seems to have been caught on camera whizzing across the sky above NYC -- at least if you buy what this woman is selling ... which amounts to a nanosecond of proof.

Michelle Reyes was recently flying over LaGuardia Airport and filming the landscape outside her window -- when she captured something zip across the sky at lightning-quick speed ... which, when slowed down, certainly looks like something out of this world.

Watch ... a dark, cylinder object flies by Michelle's plane window as she films the city's skyline. And, according to Michelle, she isn't the only passenger to spot the possible UFO.

UFO sightings apparently have nothing to do with anything extraterrestrial -- at least that's what Uncle Sam is saying, anyway, after digging into the issue.

For the past couple years, the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has been digging into all those UFO videos in recent years ...  and on Friday, they came out and said it was all much ado about nothing ... at least as far as aliens are concerned.

The Pentagon says they've found zero evidence that any of those mysterious UAP sightings were from outer space ... and also no proof of hidden spacecraft dropping by either.

The unclassified 63-page report goes on to state there's no evidence of the government or any sneaky private companies having their hands on extraterrestrial tech to reverse engineer UFOs in secret ... something that's been alleged by supposed whistleblowers.

In fact, Tim Phillips, the acting director of AARO, told reporters there's no indication that anyone's been hiding stuff from Congress at all on this issue ... adding that the alleged secret UAP programs being kept under wraps by the U.S. government don't exist at all.

Worth noting ... Congress ordered up this report 'cause there's been a lot of renewed interest about UFOs -- so the whole thing may just be a tactic to divert attention elsewhere or cover it up altogether ... that's certainly what conspiracy theorists are gonna say about this.

Navy fighter pilot commander David Fravor, a witness of the infamous "Tic Tac" UFO sighting, and former pilot Ryan Graves, also testified alongside David Grusch under oath about UFOs and secret government programs allegedly involving extraterrestrial tech.

A lot of their testimonials were covered in our own doc about this ... 'UFO Revolution.'

Their stories were pretty alarming, and some of those stories about UFO sightings are seriously convincing ... especially with some of the videos that have been released.

As far as the Pentagon is concerned, though ... no little green men are among us.

Un globo de gran altitud y no identificado fue visto volando por los cielos de Estados Unidos y su presencia ha sido lo suficientemente preocupante como para involucrar a los militares ¿Suena como un déjà vu?

El gobierno de Estados Unidos está rastreando el globo errante, dijeron funcionarios estadounidenses a CBS News, añadiendo que, si bien su origen y propósito aún son desconocidos, han determinado que no es una amenaza.

Las fuentes dicen que el globo anónimo ha estado en movimiento y a la deriva hacia el este en la corriente en chorro. Un funcionario reveló que estaba sobre Colorado el viernes por la mañana.

Por supuesto, este no es el primer encuentro de Estados Unidos con un globo. Se acordarán de que un globo espía chino estuvo flotando por los cielos en febrero de 2023 y tenía a todos hablando del tema. Ahora, un año más tarde, parece que hay otro de ellos en lo alto.

Al parecer, el globo espía estaba flotando alrededor de 40.000 pies cuando fue derribado en aguas territoriales de Estados Unidos frente a la costa de Carolina del Sur por la USAF bajo las órdenes del presidente Biden.

China estaba súper enojada y condenó el derribo del globo como una "reacción excesiva". Las tensiones diplomáticas se dispararon inmediatamente, ¡tan alto como esos globos!

An unidentified high-altitude balloon has been spotted flying over the U.S. -- and its presence has been concerning enough to get the military involved ... sound like déjà vu?

The U.S. government is now tracking the wandering balloon, U.S. officials told CBS News ... adding that while its origin and purpose are still unknown, they've determined it not to be a threat.

Sources say the anonymous balloon has been on the move ... drifting eastwards in the jetstream, with one official revealing it was over Colorado Friday morning.

Of course, this ain't the States' first overhead balloon encounter. You'll remember ... a Chinese spy balloon hovering up in the skies in Feb 2023 had everyone up and down the country talking. Now, a year later ... there appears to be another one cruising high above.

The spy balloon was reportedly floating around 40,000 feet when it was fired down in U.S. territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina by the USAF upon President Biden's orders.

China was pissed as hell ... condemning the downing of their air balloon as an "excessive overreaction." The diplomatic tensions were definitely soaring ... as high as those balloons!

The viral video of a tall "alien" on a hill in Brazil may have already been debunked ... according to an international basketball star who's claiming to be the subject in the clip.

Italian athlete Felipe Motta, who plays for Brazil's Flamengo club, posted online about the confusing clip after it made the rounds -- but as others thought the lanky being was from a different planet, he says the clip shows him on a hike on the island of Ilha do Mel.

He says he was on a trail and enjoying the sweet view when the video was taken from a low angle, and everyone went crazy over it ... which, believe it or not, isn't new for him.

Felipe claims his 6-foot-5-inch height is something that folks have always poked fun at -- and he showed off all tall guy struggles he deals with on the daily ... but jokingly admits he'll warn people the next time he decides to take a hike.

As we reported, locals claimed they saw at least 2 figures up on the hill ... with the woman who filmed the video saying it's impossible for a human to get up there.

The Brazilian government posted about the viral video, but appeared to play it off as a hoax as a way to get folks to come visit the island ... but Felipe is looking to put the theories about it to rest.
