Imagine what would get done in Ufology if the amount of energy spent on insulting and arguing with people was used on research and field work. #ufox #ufotwitter

Wow thank you all for the birthday wishes! I don't make a big deal of my birthday, and I didn't even take off of work lol but the comments really, really meant a lot. That was tremendous to see, and incredibly sweet of all of you. Much love and thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. #ufox #ufotwitter

[Tom Thompson🛸 (ＣＯＲＴＥＸ ＺＥＲＯ) @Cortex_Zero]

I am really blown away at all of these comments. You all really made my day!

[Tom Thompson🛸 (ＣＯＲＴＥＸ ＺＥＲＯ) @Cortex_Zero]

Aaaaand I'm 37 lol. It's strange how much faster time moves when you're older. The seasons feel like only a couple of weeks when they used to take forever to pass by.

I am deeply grateful to be alive, and for everyone on here that I've made connections with. You mean so much to me, you have no idea.

Thank you for being in my corner. Much love everybody. #ufox #ufotwitter

I'm thinking we start a posthumanism cult, you know, to avoid the robot takeover.

If nothing happens next year, who wants to start a cult with me and keep the ball rolling? Free admission and t-shirts. #ufox #ufotwitter

The “comma”-shaped UFO is a recurring silhouette across very different sightings.

Three videos attributed to South Africa, Canada and the Atlantic Ocean are being compared for an unusual resemblance: objects with a rounded body and a curved, narrowing extension, giving them the appearance of a comma suspended in the sky. The comparison becomes more interesting when placed alongside an older witness account that used the same description.

Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa — March 11, 2024

The South African footage can be traced to a National UFO Reporting Center report. The witness recorded the sighting at 6:47 p.m. local time and described an observation lasting approximately 50 seconds. They reported an unusually shaped object with a blue-to-purple hue, moving across the sky without audible sound or visible lights. NUFORC currently lists a balloon as a possible explanation, so the object’s identity remains open.

Golden, British Columbia, Canada — recording date unconfirmed

The second clip is attributed to Golden. Its inclusion brings another apparently similar outline into the comparison, although the compilation does not establish when it was filmed. The original recording and a fuller account from the person behind the camera would help clarify the circumstances.

Atlantic Ocean — footage posted in June 2020

The maritime footage is linked to Captain Kate McCue of Celebrity Edge. In her later public account, McCue described a large, black, jellyfish-like object passing over the ship’s centerline and continuing beyond the stern. She said it made no noise and eventually descended into the water. Her footage was posted to TikTok in June 2020; the precise filming date and the “middle of the Atlantic” location are less firmly established in the available source trail. The water entry is part of her testimony and should be understood as such.

There is also an older “comma” account in the archive.

NUFORC report 147865 describes a separate encounter in Kirkland, Washington, during a windstorm in the fall of 2007, submitted to the database in 2019.

The witness described a smooth, dark-gray object, approximately the size of a dump truck, with a rounded front and a narrowing section curving away from it:

“It looked like a comma, in a sentence, but turned upside down.”

According to the account, the object hovered silently despite the wind. Oval lights of different colors appeared around its rounded section before going dark, after which it continued north. This is a retrospective witness account, but it provides a specific descriptive parallel that predates the videos now being compared.

The resemblance also invites comparison with the “Irregular or Organic” category in the Immaculate Constellation whistleblower report submitted during the November 13, 2024 congressional hearing. That section discusses forms that resist simple geometric description, including jellyfish-like shapes with a central mass and hanging appendages. It does not specifically identify a “comma” class or connect these three recordings. Applying that category here is an interpretation based on appearance.

What interests me is the possibility of finding more accounts that describe this particular shape. Similar outlines alone cannot establish that these recordings show the same kind of object, but they give us something concrete to compare across otherwise scattered reports.

If you have seen something resembling this, or have an earlier recording with a traceable source, I would like to hear about it. #ovnis #ufotwitter

New strategy for getting through the day at work.

[Tom Thompson🛸 (ＣＯＲＴＥＸ ＺＥＲＯ) @Cortex_Zero]

Jay Stratton alleges that fabricated UAP accounts have reached congressional testimony, and that some people presenting themselves as whistleblowers are helping undermine credible witnesses.

In Out of the Shadows, the former director of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force describes supposed whistleblowers gaining influence through podcasts and social media, sometimes encouraged by people he alleges are acting on behalf of the legacy program.

“These planted phonies undermine the impact of the real deal whistleblowers and confuse the public.”

The damage he describes extends well beyond an individual making an unreliable claim. Sensational stories attract attention, their storytellers become recognized authorities, and an audience eager for answers helps amplify them. When those accounts eventually unravel, the public may dismiss the entire subject, including testimony and evidence that had nothing to do with the discredited story.

In Stratton’s telling, that broader loss of credibility is sometimes the intended outcome.

He describes different motivations among the people involved. Some pursue attention or financial gain. Others believe they are advancing Disclosure, then become so invested in their public claims that admitting they were wrong becomes increasingly difficult. Alongside this, he explicitly acknowledges credible whistleblowers doing significant work, often privately with Congress.

His allegation that false information has entered congressional testimony deserves particular attention. The passage does not identify specific witnesses, hearings, or statements. It says that fabricated material has reached testimony, which leaves open questions about who originated it and how it was presented.

For anyone immediately thinking of David Grusch, the original post points to Stratton’s favorable treatment of him elsewhere in the book and his selection for Stratton’s team. This excerpt itself names no targets.

What concerns me most is the cost to people coming forward in good faith. If Stratton’s account is accurate, their credibility can be damaged by stories they never told, endorsed, or had any involvement with.

That makes clarification essential. Which claims does he believe are false? What led him to that conclusion? What can he share that would help Congress and the public examine the allegation?

People who have taken real risks to provide information deserve a fair hearing. If their testimony is being undermined deliberately, we need enough detail to understand how, and to prevent unsupported accusations from creating further confusion. #ufos #uap

With the exception of Ross and a handful of other journalists, I don't think many people fully appreciate the potentially historic developments I believe are unfolding behind the scenes at the White House.

Whether they ultimately come to fruition remains anyone's guess.

In a few years, we may find ourselves reading about what could have been. Or we may be on the verge of witnessing something extraordinary.

Either way, hold on tight.

Exposing the dark side of the UFO Community and making it a safe space for everyone

[Marik vR @MvonRen]

Stratton: “Raytheon’s own engineers confirmed” that the “GIMBAL” UAP’s rotation is *NOT* a camera artifact.

The ATFLIR patent holder told me the same, *and* that the system’s operation is the *opposite* of what @MickWest claims.

The UAP’s flight path also rules out an artifact:

Empires, historically, move through 5 stages before they collapse.

The United States is sitting at stage 4, right now.

This is another reason why we need Disclosure.

America needs a future more compelling than an endless argument over its decline. I believe Disclosure could help us find one.

The five-stage model in questionfollows a familiar progression: conquest, commerce, affluence, decadence, and collapse. It’s a simplified framework, and placing the United States at stage four is an interpretation. What concerns me is the condition that stage describes: a society with enormous resources whose institutions have become increasingly difficult to correct.

Powerful interests protect their positions. Public confidence erodes. People struggle to see how their efforts contribute to a future they actually want.

If governments or private organizations possess credible evidence of nonhuman intelligence, keeping that evidence beyond public scrutiny could carry a cost much larger than the secrecy itself. It could deny us an opportunity to reconsider our priorities.

Disclosure should mean evidence that independent researchers can examine and the public can evaluate. Access would allow people outside a restricted circle to ask questions, challenge interpretations, and contribute knowledge of their own.

That could give a divided society something consequential to work on together.

We would still have political disagreements. But imagine discovering that someone you disagree with has the expertise needed to solve a problem you both care about. Shared purpose becomes more substantial when people have actual work to do together.

There is a historical example of an extraordinary event changing a country’s ambitions. Sputnik helped spur an American response that included increased support for education and the creation of NASA. The discovery of nonhuman intelligence would present very different circumstances, but it could similarly change what people considered possible and worth investing in.

A young person could see a reason to pursue science. An experienced tradesperson could help build the instruments and facilities that research requires. Communities could gain a place in an undertaking whose significance extended beyond the next election.

The question of trust would be harder.

If concealment, unlawful conduct, or mistreatment were established, the public would deserve accountability. An announcement alone would do little to repair the damage. A transparent investigation, with evidence available for scrutiny and consequences for proven wrongdoing, could demonstrate that institutions remain capable of correction.

As an experiencer, I also think about the people who have spent years trying to understand what happened to them. Their accounts deserve careful investigation and humane treatment. Any serious disclosure process would have to make room for that.

There could also be technological opportunities, depending on what the evidence revealed. Useful advances might eventually improve ordinary lives. That would require extensive research, practical development, and decisions about who gets access to the benefits.

A discovery that enriched a small group while leaving everyone else excluded would deepen the very problems we are hoping to address.

The more constructive possibility is an America that earns leadership through what it contributes: credible research, useful knowledge, and partnerships others have reason to trust.

For me, that is why Disclosure belongs in the conversation about national renewal.

It could give us an opportunity to rebuild our capacity to act together. It could make the future feel open again, with questions worth pursuing and work that people could see themselves doing.

The outcome would depend on what we chose to build around the discovery.

If we are worried about a society losing its ability to renew itself, we should also ask what it costs to keep potentially transformative knowledge beyond public reach.

If credible evidence exists, the public deserves the chance to see what it could make possible. #ufox #ufotwitter

Here’s a question worth asking: Are UFO flaps genuinely periods of increased activity, or are we simply getting better at noticing what’s always been there?
