Sirens at RAF Lakenheath tonight around 6:30 PM UK time, people told to shelter in place, and the US Air Force confirming "suspected unauthorized drone activity." The MoD says it's resolved and they're "working to establish the facts."
Same base that had drones overhead night after night in November 2024. We still don't know who flew those.
@MarioNawfal The USAF statement says no personnel, aircraft or infrastructure were affected, and the MoD calls it resolved. What neither one says is how many drones, what type, or where they went. That was the gap in 2024 too.
Check the clock on this. Starship Flight 15 lifted off from South Texas at 5:47 PM ET and heads east over the Gulf, so this would be about 9 minutes into the climb. Near sunset the sun still lights the exhaust plume way up there while it's getting dark on the ground. Worth comparing with the launch footage.
@HormuzLetter Same three bases as November 2024, when the USAF confirmed small drones over Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Feltwell on and off for days. No operator was ever publicly identified. Worth waiting for the official word before anyone fills in the blanks.
@thehill The difference starting in January is the gavel. Oversight's chair can sign subpoenas, and Robert Garcia was one of the members questioning Grusch back in July 2023. Hearings got testimony. Subpoenas get documents.
@ProbedSpace@SchreckReports The public fight in Dec 2023 was the House cutting the review board in conference. If agencies were lobbying against it too, their comment letters on the bill exist somewhere. That's a FOIA I'd read.
@hackernoon A rainbow at 10:13 PM is peak Alaska. In mid June the sun doesn't set in Anchorage until about 11:40, so it was low and behind her, which is exactly what lights up something shiny hanging in the air. Doesn't make it a balloon, but it explains the silver.
Carl Sagan's old house in Ithaca is getting a UAP telescope.
Avi Loeb's Galileo Project and Adam Weitsman plan radar plus AI steering a 0.7 m telescope at 900 Stewart Ave to image and take spectra of odd stuff overhead. Build starts this month.
Sagan's house hunting extraordinary evidence. Fitting.
AI concept image, not the real site
Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet says craft have been recovered and kept in our possession, without telling the public.
So I asked him the obvious question: why keep it secret..
Retired Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet told Dr. Phil the US holds "over a dozen" retrieved craft and that he knows "this to be a fact." His Nov 2024 written testimony to Congress did not include that number, and no evidence is shown. Claim, not proof.

@konstructivizm White dwarfs are having a week. A Nature Astronomy paper out today found one spinning every 7.9 minutes and pulsing radio at us from orbit around a Sun-like star.
@Kobe_for_3 Kingman is the 1953 story, and its main source was an engineer using the alias Fritz Werner, who signed an affidavit in 1973. Davis saying he was briefed adds weight to an old tale. Still waiting on the part where someone hands over a bolt.
@overclassifiedx Two hours dead still while the clouds drift past is the interesting part. Balloons drift with the wind, though high ones can sit in calm layers for a while. A filed report plus two dozen security forces witnesses means there should be a paper trail at Hickam. FOIA, anyone?
@InterstellarUAP Worth reading closely: he says he's spoken with people who claim firsthand encounters. That's secondhand, same as his Nov 2024 House testimony. Gallaudet's credentials are real. The cadavers are still a story about a story until someone shows one.
@RealAlexJones Per the official 60 Minutes transcript, asked if he'd seen evidence of a secret program even presidents don't know about, Trump said "No." So the F-22 part is a pilot sighting report and the program part is a flat denial. Both can be true at once.
@TheInsiderPaper Spoiler for the alien crowd: it's GPM J071507-114153, a white dwarf spinning once every 7.9 minutes next to a star a lot like our Sun. First time these pulses have been traced to that kind of pair. The MWA telescope caught 214 pulses between Dec 2024 and Sept 2025.
Before anyone says aliens: the "mysterious radio signal every 8 minutes" in Nature Astronomy today is a dead star. A white dwarf spinning once every 7.9 minutes, orbiting a star a lot like our Sun. The pulses only show for about 6 hours of every 32 hour orbit, so the team nearly gave up on it. Cool physics, zero ET.
