Several of these look like balloons and birds. Two of them have already leaked before. Both of those are missiles being viewed with an infrared camera. One of them shows a missile passing through the field of view rapidly with a motion blur streak behind it. The other shows a missile performing maneuvers and a camera artifact showing a star-like diffraction+aperture artifact around the bright IR light source. None of…

The star one kind of reminds me of the kill vehicle: https://youtu.be/KBMU6l6GsdM?si=O1jl4aQfaX_POY4T

That's interesting but that's not what this video is. The star shape in the DoD video is a camera artifact. Just a really bright source of infrared light.

According to US congresswoman Luna this is the first of several releases that will be coming out in the following weeks. Edit: I had a look at a bunch of the videos and didn't find anything remarkable, in my opinion. The witness testimonies read like so many others.

Talk about nominative determinism!

Luna also represents the House district in Florida that is home to the Church of Scientology Flag Service Org headquarters.

So with The War having ground to an unsatisfactory halt, they're now releasing distraction #2. I wonder how many will be needed between now and November? Convince me I'm wrong.

What are they distracting us from?

The upcoming elections they are in the process of rigging.

I think the idea is to distract from the Epstein Files. Or maybe it's the Iran "excursion". Or the gerrymandering...

The US Department of Defense has published a CSV dataset containing UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) observation records. It appears to include structured entries that can be used for independent analysis and research. Dataset: https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-csv.c...

I'm pretty sure they renamed it the departement of war, for some reason

It used to be named the Department of War and Palmer Luckey suggested naming it back. People agreed, so they did. It's just another part of changing the posture to match the philosophy that the best defensive is a good offense. It seems to be working pretty well, if you know what we're defending against.

This is pure propaganda. It's been astroturfed on 4chan and mainstream social media for weeks, though to great skepticism on the former. The UFO nut community (people who make their interest/belief in UFOs into their entire personality, to the neglect of all other considerations) is being weaponized for political leverage, just like the anti-vax and chemtrail communities were.

Probably settles some large polymarket bets as well. "Government will announce UFOs are real" has been a popular one for a long time.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ooh, like an advent calendar of crazy! Me? I'd rather just keep reading through mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.

Or as one late-night host put it: "The Trump Files, featuring Jeffrey Epstein."

Kimmel does the Trump-Epstein Files (TM), but as we've been repeatedly told, he's not funny and has abysmal ratings and should be fired. He's so bad, he's put his entire parent company's broadcast license up for review. You realize how bad you must be for that to happen?
