Daily Mail Quietly Deletes Its Biggest UFO Story

The Daily Mail has permanently removed an investigative article co-authored by Matt Ford, Christopher Sharp, and Josh Boswell about the CIA’s Office of Global Access and its alleged role in nine UAP crash retrievals worldwide. The article – one of the most detailed mainstream reports ever published on the program – had been live since November 2023. Ford announced the deletion on X, drawing 442 likes and 109 retweets. Neither the Daily Mail nor its parent company has explained why. The removal came the same week that Rep. Burlison confirmed touring crash retrieval facilities and the VP acknowledged “working on” releasing UFO files. Full article

Japan Proposes Government UAP Office Under Crisis Management

Japan’s bipartisan parliamentary UAP group announced it will propose a dedicated government body to oversee UAP intelligence – placed directly under the Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary for Crisis Management. The proposal, to be finalized at a public assembly on March 30, was triggered by Trump’s declassification order and an unresolved incident at the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant where official explanations contradicted operator records. If adopted, Japan would be among the first nations to integrate UAP into its crisis management apparatus. The assembly will be livestreamed on YouTube and Niconico. Full article

White House Registers aliens.gov – Site Sits Empty

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency quietly registered two new federal domains on March 17-18: aliens.gov and alien.gov. Both are hosted on Cloudflare servers. Both are empty. The registration came nearly a month after President Trump ordered agencies to release UFO files, but no documents have been published. When reporters asked White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields about the domains, he replied: “Stay tuned!” – followed by an alien emoji. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told The Debrief: “We’ve got our people working on it right now.” The ODNI said files are coming “soon,” alongside half a million documents already declassified. Meanwhile, AARO’s caseload has exceeded 2,000 active cases.

Congressman Touring Secret UFO Bases – With Pentagon Permission

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) has already visited one classified military facility tied to UAP crash retrieval and has four more on his list – plus a foreign site reportedly built around an object “too big to move.” Burlison’s first stop was Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, where he verified the existence of a hangar that Luis Elizondo had named in congressional testimony as a transfer point for recovered materials between Lockheed Martin and Robert Bigelow. The hangar was empty, but the infrastructure was there. His special advisor on the effort: whistleblower David Grusch. Full article

Drone Swarms Shut Down America’s Nuclear Bomber Base

For six days in mid-March, waves of 12-15 custom-built drones penetrated Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana – home to B-52 nuclear bombers and Air Force Global Strike Command. The drones were jamming-resistant, used non-commercial signals, and deliberately tested security responses with their lights on. Each wave forced the flight line to shut down during active combat operations against Iran. Christopher Mellon called for “bringing some to ground.” The military still lacks legal authority to shoot them down. Full article

ODNI Invited a Whistleblower In – Then Tried to Destroy Him

UAP whistleblower Matthew Brown – the source behind the Immaculate Constellation disclosure – says the Office of the Director of National Intelligence invited him to their Liberty Crossing campus, promised protection, then within three weeks launched a smear campaign calling him a fabricator, a traitor, and an antisemite. Jeremy Corbell called it “an intelligence operation run by the U.S. intelligence community against the U.S. Congress.” Brown brought a list of 42 names and companies linked to a harassment network targeting UAP witnesses. ODNI gave zero response. Full article

VP Vance: ‘I Think They’re Demons’

Vice President JD Vance told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that he believes UFOs are “demons” rather than aliens, framing the phenomena through a Christian theological lens. “I think that one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed,” Vance said. He pledged to visit Area 51 and investigate classified files during his remaining three years in office – but has not pushed for the Trump administration’s stalled UFO file release, announced over five weeks ago with no documents produced.

Vance’s remarks aren’t new in Washington. Former Pentagon UAP official Luis Elizondo has documented how ODNI official Devon Woods told him UAPs are “demonic” and blocked research on religious grounds. Tucker Carlson has called UFOs “spiritual beings.” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna described them as “inter-dimensional.” The theological interpretation has a specific history inside the defense establishment – and it has consistently been used to obstruct, not advance, disclosure.

Maher Fires Back: UFO Skeptics Are the Real Conspiracy Theorists

On the same night Vance invoked demons, Bill Maher devoted a segment of Real Time to the opposite argument – that the people still dismissing UAP evidence are the ones who sound unhinged. “It’s not weirdos and beardos saying this,” Maher told his HBO audience. “It’s guys with buzz cuts and security clearances who are spilling the tea, and politicians who you don’t think are crazy people.” He cited military pilots reporting objects doing “Mach 10” that “stopped on a dime and disappeared,” bipartisan congressional interest from Rubio, Gillibrand, and Schumer, and the government’s own quiet admission: “No, seriously, we don’t know what these things are, but they didn’t leak from a lab in China.” Full article

The 2026 Fireball Surge Is Real – And It’s Not Just Phones

The American Meteor Society’s Q1 analysis is out, and the numbers are hard to dismiss. 2,046 fireball events in the first 84 days of 2026 – the highest in AMS’s 15-year series. But the real story is at the top end: events with 100+ witnesses doubled, sonic booms occurred every three days, and three confirmed meteorite falls happened in a single month – including a diogenite (Vesta-family) recovery in Europe, an asteroid over Cleveland that planetary defense wasn’t watching, and a meteorite through a roof in Houston.

AMS honestly addresses the AI question: yes, ChatGPT and Siri may be funneling more witnesses to the reporting form. But AI can’t produce sonic booms, and it can’t put rocks through ceilings. Full article

“Whether this reflects a genuine change in the near-Earth meteoroid environment, an amplification of reporting through AI and social media, or some combination of both – we cannot yet say definitively. What we can say is that the question deserves both public awareness and scientific attention.” – Mike Hankey, AMS

MK Ultra: What the Declassified Documents Actually Say

149 subprojects. Unwitting drugging of American citizens. Brain electrode implants. Hypnotic assassin programming. In 1973, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered the files destroyed – but seven boxes of financial records survived by accident. The 1977 Senate hearing transcript, the presidential signing statement compensating Frank Olson’s family, and the declassified CIA memoranda are all publicly accessible.

The structural connection to UAP: the same intelligence apparatus that ran MK Ultra for two decades before the public learned about it is the one that controls access to UAP information today. The Stargate remote viewing program was funded through the same CIA pipeline. Full article

“The Central Intelligence Agency drugged American citizens without their knowledge or consent. It used university facilities and personnel without their knowledge. It funded leading researchers, often without their knowledge.” – Senator Edward M. Kennedy, August 3, 1977

Ten Defense Aerospace Personnel Dead or Missing in Nineteen Months

Between July 2024 and February 2026, ten people connected to U.S. defense aerospace programs – AFRL, JPL, LANL, Caltech, MIT – have died or vanished. Four missing persons with a shared signature: personal effects left behind, negative searches, zero bodies recovered. Six dead, including three at Wright-Patterson AFB and two shot in separate incidents.

The Sentinel Network, an independent OSINT publication, compiled the names into a single list for the first time. Within a week, CNN, ABC News, Fox News, NewsNation, Newsweek, and the Daily Mail all published stories covering overlapping connections – particularly the McCasland-Reza thread and the AFRL institutional corridor.

The verified list spans four states and one institutional ecosystem connecting every name through patent filings, federal contracts, and classified research programs. Full article

“The fact that Gen. Neil McCasland has disappeared off the face of the earth is a grave national security crisis for the United States of America.” – Ross Coulthart, NewsNation

Mystery Drone Swarms Hit Nuclear Bomber Base – “Air Force Not Able to Stop Them”

Multiple waves of 12–15 sophisticated drones flew over sensitive areas of Barksdale Air Force Base – home of Air Force Global Strike Command and the 2nd Bomb Wing’s B-52H nuclear bombers – for nearly a week beginning March 9. A confidential military briefing obtained by ABC News described the drones as custom-built, jam-resistant, with non-commercial signal characteristics and long-range control links. The base ordered shelter-in-place and temporarily raised its force protection condition to FPCON Charlie on March 9.

Gen. Gregory Guillot, Commander of NORTHCOM/NORAD, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that only about 25% of detected drones over U.S. military installations can currently be defeated. Former Deputy Assistant SecDef Mick Mulroy called the activity “deliberate and intentional.”

“It looked like this was deliberate and intentional to see just how they would react.” – Mick Mulroy, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense

Independent Study Confirms Pre-Sputnik Orbital Objects on 1950s Photographic Plates

A preprint posted to arXiv by Ivo Busko, a senior systems software engineer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, reports that an independent analysis of 1950s photographic plates from Hamburg Observatory has confirmed findings from the VASCO Project – mysterious sub-second optical flashes consistent with sunlight reflecting off flat, rotating objects in orbit around Earth. The plates date from 1954 to 1957. Sputnik did not launch until October 1957.

Busko analyzed pairs of plates taken roughly 30 minutes apart and found 35 good transient candidates. The flashes exhibit systematically narrow profiles compared to real stars – exactly what you’d expect from a sub-second event on a long-exposure plate. This matches what VASCO lead Beatriz Villarroel (Nordita / IAC) found on entirely different plates from Palomar Observatory, including nine simultaneous transients on a single 1950 plate.

Christopher Mellon – former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and chairman of the UAP Disclosure Fund – is a named co-author on the peer-reviewed VASCO citizen science paper (Universe, 2022), directly linking this line of astrophysics research to the UAP disclosure world. Full article

“Our findings independently confirm that these transients exhibit systematically narrow full width at half maximum compared to stellar point spread functions. This provides further support for their interpretation as sub-second optical flashes, consistent with reflections from flat, rotating objects in orbit around Earth.” – Ivo Busko, arXiv:2603.20407
