Unexplained
A Soviet Psychokinetic and the Hero of Leningrad
She was a mere fourteen years of age when she joined the Red Army. The Nazi regime was making its deadly presence in the siege of Leningrad, and along with her father and two siblings, Nina Kulagina was thrust into defending her town in freezing winter temperatures, meager rations of food, and very little electricity or heat keeping her and her fellow soldiers alive.
It was more than any young teenager should ever endure, but for Nina, she not only suffered through the nine hundred day siege but excelled in her regiment. She bravely served on the front line as…
Case Files
Kevin Day saw something on his radar scope back in 2004 that just didn’t make sense. Then he saw the strange objects again… and again. Seventeen years later, he’s still bearing witness.
On December 16, 2017, the New York Times published a historic exposé revealing both a black-budget Pentagon program that had been studying UFOs in the shadows and several videos captured by Navy pilots of UFOs they’d encountered off the East and West coasts.
The most publicized of these events, the 2004 USS Nimitz “Tic Tac” event began when one man noticed something odd on the bright green radar screen staring back at him in the dark belly of the USS Princeton. …
Case Files
For the first time, a former Navy Gunner’s Mate shares his encounter with an Unidentified Submerged Object in the waters near a Navy supercarrier in 2010.
For almost four years now, we’ve been talking about the USS Nimitz and its encounter with “Tic Tac” type objects. Now there’s a new wrinkle. It’s a sighting of what looked like the same type of object, seen from a Nimitz class supercarrier, only this unknown object was operating underwater.
The USS Carl Vinson is the United States Navy’s third Nimitz-class supercarrier. It was first commissioned in 1982, deployed in 1983, and it’s famous for being the ship from where the body of Osama bin Laden was buried at sea in 2011. …
UFO Case Files
A dramatic UFO sighting still affects the now retired Coast Guard radioman who, as a college student, saw plenty more than what was on the silver screen one night almost 50 years ago.
Just Another Night at the Ascot
It was a mild August evening when Scott Santa, having just finished his second year of college, decided to join a friend for a night of movies at the Ascot Auto Theater. A few years later, it would be divided into three screens and become the Ascot Triple Drive-In Theater, but for now it was one big screen, the focus of attention for all cars and their occupants who had come for the evening’s entertainment.
America was a country divided at that time. President Nixon would finally resign and end the Watergate trauma on August 8th. Vietnam was going badly…
Witness Protection
A former Air Force weapons specialist had a close encounter with a “diamond in the sky,” reported it, and faced the crippling stigma that has to end now.
On June 25th, 2021, the Pentagon in the United States released an unclassified nine-page report titled, Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. This assessment was prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in consultation with the Pentagon. Through the work of the recently established Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force, the assessment was in response to a request by Congress to assess the potential threats that UAP/UFOs could pose to national security. One of the major takeaways from the report was a section that explained the challenges of collecting UAP reports and data. In the report, it stated:
Singer/songwriter, Tom Wardle, recorded the following video in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Tuesday, May 25th, at approximately 11:15pm:
Here is the official testimony according to Mr. Wardle:
“I walked out of the supermarket late at night and stopped at the zebra crossing waiting to cross. To my right I noticed three orange lights in the sky in a triangle formation low in the sky, gliding silently north wards, coming from what appeared to be near the river in Williamsburg, towards Manhattan.
I instantly pulled out my phone and shot the footage, being sure to keep my hands still and to…
The UAP Report
55 members of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) call for the U.S. government to work more closely with them in order to scientifically assess what‘s really going on.
Since its first presentation by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) in June of 2020, the Intelligence Authorization Act has been right in the middle of a growing debate about “Advanced Aerial Threats.” The SSCI showed support for the “efforts of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force at the Office of Naval Intelligence” and requested an unclassified report detailing the analysis of UFOs/UAP.
It’s not a meaningless request either as it came with a ticking clock. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (who is supposed to coordinate the report) was given a 180-day deadline to finish up…
Rebelliously Curious in Exploring Frontier Science and Innovative Technology… and sometimes UFOs

The Investigators
A researcher and a systems engineer say revealing the truth of the Phenomenon starts local and leads to authentic big data.
Christopher O’Brien and Ron Olch combine passion for both the subject and the science it will take for a UAP reality breakthrough.
Start with a UFO Researcher
Christopher O’Brien became interested in UFOs at a very early age. Just short of age seven, he had a life-changing experience while living in Bellevue, Washington, in 1963. “Strange, nonhuman entities,” as he described them, began following O’Brien. This would be one of four incidents with these beings that very year.
Even more curious is that during this period, John Keel, noted journalist, author, and UFO researcher, was investigating several other unexplainable incidents in the very city of…
The Investigators
The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies — SCU — is on a mission to protect scientific study of UAPs from the government’s walls of secrecy.
Citizen scientists and independent organizations are increasingly taking things in to their own hands when it comes to the disclosure of UAP/UFO reality. One of those organizations that isn’t waiting for the government to get the job done is the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU).
The Set-Up
On August 14th, 2020, the United States Department of Defense announced the establishment of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. According to an official press release, the reasoning for the task force is:
“…to improve its understanding of, and gain insight into, the nature and origins of UAPs. The mission of the task force…
