New AARO video "UAP Video - Middle East Red Balloon 2024"

https://www.aaro.mil/UAP-Cases/Official-UAP-Imagery/

Very clearly most likely a balloon with parallax.

External Quote:
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office received a report from a U.S. military Service consisting of one minute and thirty-six seconds of full-motion video footage captured by a camera aboard a U.S. military platform in the Middle East in 2024. According to the reporting Service, the recording likely depicts a slow-moving spheroidal object.

AARO assesses, with high confidence, that the object depicted in the video is almost certainly (≥95% likelihood) a consumer-grade reflective foil balloon. AARO bases its assessment on the object's strong morphological consistency with other resolved imagery depicting balloons and its behavioral correlation with recorded wind speed and direction during the event.
They fail to mention the parallax effect, which is the most probably cause of the apparent high speed.

Again all the HUD data which would likely demonstrate...

UAP Disclosure Fund Presentation with House Oversight Committee, May 2025
  • 3,337

The UAP Disclosure Fund (UAPDF) is an advocacy group pushing for the government to reveal the truth about UAP/UFOs. Founded by political strategist Yuan Fung with Christopher Mellon as the Chairman of the Board, it's basically a lobbying group for UAP (aliens) disclosure as the name implies. I suspect they are the drivers behind the scenes in regard to various hearings and whistle-blowers concerning UAP. To that end, they held a symposium type thing on May 1, in Washington DC with associates of UAPDF and members of Congress:

Four Corners - Large Disk Seen From Private Plane at FL210 [Irrigation Circles]

[Image updated from the slightly blurry original]

Presented by Luis Elizondo at a UFO presentation today. Text says "FL210 Near Four Corners"

FL210 21,000 is a bit low for a commercial plane, but perhaps it was on approach or climb out.
[EDIT: my mistake, it was a private pilot, not a commercial plane]

My immediate though was two irrigation circles, but the white one seems not to line up with the roads

Kratsios: Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space.

Article:
Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space.

Michael Kratsios, Director of White House Office of Science and Technology, April 14, 2025

This is being interpreted as some to suggest the US has secret technology that can manipulate spacetime (i.e. a warp drive, or anti-gravity), possibly of alien origin.

More context, emphasis mine:

Article:
A gap lies between our moment and the speed of transformation America experienced midcentury. Progress has slowed. Yes, large language models astonish us, rockets still turn our eyes upward, and satellites envelop the globe. But as we look forward to America's 250th birthday celebration next year, our progress today pales in comparison to the huge leaps of the 20th century. Consider the country of fifty years ago.

As the nation approached its bicentennial, Americans looked forward to electricity too cheap to...

Mystery satellite in Google imagery

So it seems an Earth-imaging satellite managed to capture another satellite whilst imaging Earth, I wonder if we can identify them?

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xEKLsAoWnVETiDN47
This is the Google Maps link. We are near the town of Sherman, TX. Pretty much due north of Dallas on the Oklahoma border. I suppose the afterimages are due to the imaging sat taking pictures at different wave lengths in quick succession to combine them into a single colour image, and the other sat moving quickly across the field of view in the short time between each frame.

On the question of what took the image, it is (c) Airbus, that would narrow the candidates down to six sats: Pléiades-1A and Pléiades-1B (of the Pléiades constellation), Pléiades Neo 3 and Pléiades Neo 4 (of the Pléiades Neo constellation), SSTL S1-4 (of the Vision-1 programme), and SPOT 6 (https://www.airbus.com/en/products-services/space/earth-observation/satellite-imagery if you want to know more).

The USS Jackson "Tic-tac" UAP

Article:
April 8, 2025
In 2023 the U.S. Navy encountered four "TIC TAC" shaped UAPs off the coast of California. Personnel from the USS Jackson in the CIC (Combat Information Center) filmed them. One of the vehicles of unknown origin was observed exiting the water, transitioning directly into flight, demonstrating transmedium capability. No flight control surfaces or conventional propulsion signatures (heat plumes, exhaust) were detected. The UAPs executed an observed instantaneous, synchronized departure. Operator, purpose, capability, origin and intent are unknown. The craft remain unidentified.

Space X spiral over UK.

A Space X rocket was seen over the UK last night, forming a spiral due to a fuel dump.

An unusual spiral appeared in the sky above the UK on Monday night, leading some people to wonder what was going on.
It is thought the cloud-like display was caused by SpaceX, which was conducting a classified rocket launch.
Several interesting factors to this;

The launch was for a classified (secret) mission,
SpaceX said on X the launch was carried out on behalf of the US government National Reconnaissance Office mission. The Kennedy Space Center also said on X the launch was a classified mission for that office.
.The spiral moved quite quickly across the sky, and was only visible for a few minutes. Since it was in, or near, orbital height, this is as expected.
. I didn't see it myself, but it was all over Facebook within minutes.
.Someone who did see it said it was much...

On the Dutch website where people can report UFO's there was a sighting reported of a blue square shaped light in the sky.
This was reported to be seen in the night of 18th of January 2025 around 22:00 in the city of Zoetermeer.

Location is here https://maps.app.goo.gl/vJneuoEd7Xjx1eai6
The person reported it didnt know how long it was there nor for how long, watched it for a short time and decided to walk on further.
Also it didnt move nor made it sound.
There was no visible light from the ground, but the person thought that it could be a hologram or something like that or a laser.

Flight 5342 crash into Potomac River

Flight# 5342


Article:
A commercial airplane collided in midair with a Blackhawk helicopter as the jet was approaching a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night, according to federal aviation officials.

The accident happened as the jet, operated by regional carrier PSA Airlines on behalf of American Airlines, was attempting to land just before 9 pm local time.

There was no immediate word on fatalities. But the incident could be the most significant disaster in U.S. airspace in at least 15 years.

A webcam at the nearby John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts showed a small aircraft, presumably the helicopter, colliding with the passenger jet at a low altitude, followed by a bright explosion. Radar tracking sites show the passenger jet appears to have fallen into the frigid Potomac River.

It could be one of David Grusch's witnesses, at least another whistleblower; he himself reports that someone from the UAP task force has confirmed to him that his findings fit into a series of other findings, etc.

It's just a news teaser at the moment, more is announced for this weekend.

Pro News Camera-Man Captures "orb" in Sky in Mendham, New Jersey. [Out of Focus Point of Light]

It appears to be a professional news cameraman who has captured some sort of "orb" in the sky, in Mendham, New Jersey.
The discussion surrounding this seems to be about how this couldn't possibly be a 'bokeh' or out of focus effect. (due to the camera mans professional credentials)
Other users have chimed in about how they've confirmed this through various software techniques.
I tried tracking down the original news clip with no success yet.
I of course immediately think "what would metabunk say" these days.
