UFO Appeared to Monitor Nuclear Bomb Test in Nevada

"... the jeep was about halfway between him and the buildings when a silvery metal object lifted-off the ground behind the buildings and hovered in the air."

Since 1973, I have interviewed 169 US military veterans regarding their UFO/UAP encounters at nuclear weapons test ranges and deployment sites during the Cold War era and beyond. Their testimonies appear in my book, UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites. In September 2026, I received an unsolicited email from a woman who does not wish to be identified. She wrote, Many years ago, probably around 1996, my father was dying of Stage-4 colon cancer. He was in his seventies and had fought the cancer bravely for several years. We were watching TV together in his

living room when something came on the television that mentioned UFOs. My dad said softly, “They're real, you know." I was a bit shocked, because a comment like that was totally out of character for him. Then he told me the following story:©The UFO Chronicles. All rights reserved.

Marco Rubio on UAPs - From Senate Inquiry to 'It’s Classified'

In a brand-new episode of The Katie Miller Podcast, Marco Rubio discussed UAPs/UFOs, offering an interesting glimpse into how his public tone has evolved since his years in the Senate. Rubio made clear that he does not claim to know what these

objects are. However, he continues to maintain that unidentified objects have been observed over U.S. military installations, that they are not known to be American, and that the subject deserves serious investigation.

Where is UFO Disclosure's Daniel Ellsberg?

An updated tweak for 'Disclosure Day'

Things appear to be happening suspiciously fast now

The most salient questions raised by Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” aren’t about ESP, screen memories or the nature of nonhuman intelligence. They’re about logistics. What does it take to steal classified material from a legally suspect black program? Where is Daniel Ellsberg? Where are the Pentagon Papers, the pilfered thumb drives, the Rosetta Stone? Who has the chutzpah to ghost the reservation and risk a martyr’s stand against the immorality of privatizing the biggest headline in human history? Would today’s politicized and brand-flogging media platforms – bracing against Nixon-like blowback for telling

Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' – Great Cinema, Convenient Omissions

Readers of The UFO Chronicles will have heard of, or already seen, Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's latest feature film. It has started streaming online and is likely to be watched by millions of viewers this year.

A dramatization of an effort to release decades of repressed files and media about UAPs is a welcome topic. Although the story is fictional, the plot draws on years of real-world effort by those who consider such repression inappropriate. Given the subject's profundity, expectations for a groundbreaking piece of media were high.©The UFO Chronicles. All rights reserved.

Wendy Ann Connors (In Memoriam)

Should you find yourself cruising around the Internet, searching for sites regarding the UFO subject, and suddenly landing upon a page offering a wealth of mp3 audio recordings associated with a project once known as Faded Discs, you have found a treasure chest of golden history. Precious little of this would have been available without the dedicated efforts of the late Wendy Ann Connors, former school teacher, respected UFO researcher and author. Wendy, a fellow Air Force veteran whom I was proud to call a friend for too few years, died from a long illness a few years after

Gun Slinger Jesse Michels, vs Michael Shermer's Shadow

“I want you to debunk harder.”—Jesse Michels

Having just finished watching the Michael Shermer interview conducted by American Alchemy host, Jesse Michels I have to say that Michels never ceases to amaze me. By appearance, he seems like a scruffy looking, tee-shirt wearing kid (“the kid” is my nick-name for him, replacing John Greenewald) who has no business interviewing the caliber of

guests he has on his show. Nothing could be further from the truth. (Also I believe he’s 45.)

In short order one gets past his incongruous appearance and becomes entranced by his intellect and amazing recall, citing facts and sources thereof in a blink of an eye—he’s a gunslinger! ©The UFO Chronicles. All rights reserved.

Gáldar UFO Incident at 50: Spain’s Famous Canary Islands Mystery

On the night of 22 June 1976, witnesses across the Canary Islands reported a large, unusual luminous phenomenon, and the Spanish Air Force later opened an official file on the event. A declassified summary identifies the case as Expediente 760622 and notes that the General Jefe of the Canarias Air Zone formally categorized it as a Fenómeno Aéreo No Identificado [UAP].

The episode is usually tied to Gáldar because the most dramatic testimony came from Dr. Francisco Julio Padrón and a taxi driver, who said they saw a large, transparent sphere and, inside it, two towering reddish figures. That vivid account is the reason the case still echoes in Spanish ufology, even though other

UFO - UAP Disclosure 2026 at the Capitol

On June 25, the Disclosure Forum 2026 — branded “Humanity at the Edge of Discovery” — brought UAP transparency into the Senate orbit in a way that was deliberately sober, institutional, and media-friendly (See video below). The event was hosted in the Kennedy Caucus Room of the Russell Senate Office Building and framed by organizers as

a public conversation about what disclosure means for science, policy, national security, religion, and markets. ©The UFO Chronicles. All rights reserved.

What made the day notable was not a single explosive revelation, but the sheer breadth of who showed up: senators, House members, scientists, former national security officials, journalists, and researchers. The lineup announced in advance included Sens. Mike Rounds and Kirsten Gillibrand, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, Rep. Tim Burchett, Rep. Eric Burlison, and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, alongside figures such as Avi Loeb, Harold Puthoff, Timothy Gallaudet, and newsroom voices like Gadi Schwartz and Kristin Fisher.

David Grusch’s Startling Statement on Sentient Plasmoid Life

"... it's a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to what I would consider sentient plasmoid life. But there are several [species] that the US government is aware of."

During the June 9, 2026 UAP/NHI press conference on Capitol Hill, former US Air Force officer and intelligence official David Grusch made a remarkable statement regarding the US government’s secret acknowledgment of the existence of sentient non-human entities. When a reporter asked how many alien types have been identified, Grusch said matter-of-factly: “I don’t have the compendium [that I can present to you today, however,] it's a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to what I would consider sentient plasmoid life. But there are several [species] that the US government is aware of.” A search for “plasmoid life”, utilizing Google’s Gemini AI, yields the following information:

A plasmoid is a self-contained, glowing magnetic structure of plasma (the fourth state of matter). In both UAP/UFO discussions and science fiction, plasmoids are often speculated to be non-biological, energy-based extraterrestrial lifeforms or atmospheric "critters" that exist independently of carbon and DNA.

UFO, UAP Press Conference 2026 - Nonhuman Biologics, Secret Crash Retrieval Programs and the Decades Long Cover-up

Yesterday’s Capitol Hill UFO / UAP news conference (watch below) should have dominated the national conversation. Instead, it landed in the odd American gap between historic significance and minimal mainstream attention: a startling public moment in which lawmakers and UAP figures made statements with

implications so extraordinary that the event should have been impossible to ignore. The setting was official, the participants were credible, and the claims carried enough weight to make the gathering feel less like another mythicized UFO story than a rupture in the long-running silence around it.

Robert Hastings’ Interview with Journalist Ross Coulthart

UFOs and Nukes Researcher Discusses Key Revelations by US Air Force Veterans Regarding UAP Incursions at ICBM Sites

In October 2024, I was interviewed (watch below) on the News Nation network by Australian journalist Ross Coulthart, who has broken several important UAP-related stories over the past few years, as well as hosting the first televised interview with former US government intelligence analyst and whistleblower David Grusch. During my conversation with Coulthart, I focused on a few of the most important incidents involving UFOs tampering with American nuclear missiles—either disrupting or temporarily activating them—during the Cold War era. Those accounts were offered during interviews I conducted over the years with 169 former or retired US Air Force ICBM launch and targeting officers, missile maintenance technicians, and missile security personnel.

Second Tranche of UAP, UFO Files and Videos Released by Dept. of War

"... the tranche expands the public archive with videos, audio files, PDFs, and historical records that stretch the story of unexplained aerial phenomena deeper into the government’s own memory...."

The second release of UAP records from the so-called War Department lands with less fanfare than the first, but arguably with more substance. Published May 22, 2026 through the PURSUE portal, the tranche expands the public archive with

videos, audio files, PDFs, and historical records that stretch the story of unexplained aerial phenomena deeper into the government’s own memory. If the first release established that the files were real, the second makes clear that the record is broader, messier, and more persistent than many expected.

This time, the emphasis is not on novelty so much as accumulation. CBS News reported that the second contains 51 videos — while Reuters described the material as a fresh set of declassified UFO/UAP records that includes references ranging from green orbs and discs to fireballs and a 116-page historical file tied to Sandia, New Mexico. That mix matters because it shows the government is not simply releasing a few isolated clips for public consumption; it is building a record that blends modern sensor footage with older institutional paperwork.©The UFO Chronicles.

UAP, UFO Files: What the Department of War’s Release Reveals

When a government opens a long-closed file drawer, the public expects either revelation or vindication — rarely both at once. The so-called Department of War’s (legally still the Dept. of Defense) initial tranche of declassified records, published to the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP

By The UFO Chronicles © All Rights Reserved 5-14-2026

Encounters (PURSUE) portal, offers context, clutter, and a few persistent mysteries that resist tidy explanation. The documents released on May 8, 2026, span decades of memos, eyewitness reports, photos and videos; they are raw, often grainy, and were placed in the public domain as part of what officials called an “unprecedented transparency” effort.

What’s in the files — and what isn’t — matters. First, the DOW's claim that these files have never previously been released is false — a characterization that reflects either ineptitude or sensationalism. For seasoned researchers and or archival documentarians, much of the older files are familiar. Conversely, the vast majority are unredacted, pristine and in color. The significance of this can’t be overstated. (Curiously, the PDF files are password-locked, which is a stumbling block for research.) The initial collection includes items from across federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, FBI, NASA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, with the stated aim of centralizing decades of previously siloed material for public scrutiny. Many entries take familiar forms: witness statements, radar and maintenance logs that require technical background to parse, and footage whose low resolution complicates interpretation. The Pentagon’s public affairs notes and the DOW press release stress that the tranche is the beginning of a rolling release, not a final accounting.©The UFO Chronicles. All rights reserved.
