🧵The New Science Of UAPs A Global Effort to Understand the Unknown
In 2025, over 30 scientists including Jacques Vallée, Garry Nolan, and Kevin Knuth published the most ambitious UAP paper ever written. Here's what they revealed, and why it matters.👇
#UAP #UFO #Disclosure #KnuthPaper
1/ Governments do take UAP seriously. This paper reviews nearly a century of military and scientific investigations spanning Sweden, the US, France, Russia, China, and beyond.
UAP aren’t just an "American obsession."
2/ UAP are not a single phenomenon.
They span air, sea, and space hence “Unidentified Aerospace Undersea Phenomena.”
The Pentagon now tracks these across all domains, including transmedium capabilities.
3/ The Five Observables were outlined by the Pentagon’s AATIP program:
Positive lift without wings
Instant acceleration
Hypersonic speed (no sonic boom)
Transmedium travel
Cloaking/low observability
Sometimes, biological effects.
4/ Among the wildest cases documented:
Green fireballs over Los Alamos (1948–49).
Foo Fighters reported by Allied pilots in WWII.
The 1947 UFO "wave" across the U.S. including Kenneth Arnold’s sighting.
Repeated UAP nuclear site interference.
5/ Scientific interest isn't new. Astronomers, physicists, and aerospace engineers have studied UAP for decades. The CIA, Project Blue Book, and even MIT's Lincoln Lab were involved, and most of it was classified or dismissed.
6/ Foo Fighters, once thought to be stress induced hallucinations, were investigated by physicists like Luis Alvarez.
The conclusion was that they weren't Japanese tech, or hallucinations. They were something else, something anomalous.
7/ Project SIGN, GRUDGE, and Blue Book all led to internal military memos admitting UAPs were real, physical, and not from Earth.
Quotes from 1947–48:
"The phenomena reported is something real…"
"...may represent interplanetary craft."
8/ France has had the longest continuous public scientific UAP investigation: GEIPAN (CNES).
The U.S. shut everything down in the 70s but France kept going.
Europe leads the way in UAP science, quietly but seriously.
9/ Multiple universities are now engaged in UAP research:
• UAlbany (Knuth)
• Stanford (Nolan)
• KTH + Nordita (Villarroel)
• Wellesley (Watters)
• SETI-Ireland (Ansbro)
• Project Hessdalen (Norway)
More are joining, the academic grip is weakening.
10/ The 2025 paper outlines best practices:
Synchronized time-stamped data
Multi-sensor tracking (optical, radar, IR, EM)
Remote sensing satellites
Global collaboration
It’s the start of a scientific framework for UAP studies.
11/ There’s even a proposed UAP "taxonomy" based on observable traits like speed, shape, radiation, trajectory, and interaction with air/water.
This is moving beyond way beyond speculation. It's structured data collection.
12/ If you are wondering why now, the 2017 NYT bombshell, Elizondo's videos, the AATIP reveal, and Congressional mandates created the opening.
Now 'some' scientists are filling the vacuum left by decades of denial.
13/ From WWII pilots to modern physicists, the evidence has always been there but it was either ignored, buried, or ridiculed.
This paper signals a shift, that UFOs are no longer a fringe topic. They are a scientific one.
14/ The paper closes with this:
"Knowledge of these events is critical. It informs us of what types of equipment have been useful in studying UAP."
Translation: it’s time for serious, open science.

We are entering the scientific era of UAP.
🧵They Saved the Nukes for This: With 3I/ATLAS Now In The Frame, Planetary Defense Suddenly Seems More Important Than Ever
In 2015, U.S. labs quietly examined reviving a Cold War space nuke the W71 warhead for planetary defense.
Now, 3I/ATLAS is inbound from deep space.
Let’s talk about the plan to blow something out of the sky, and why it might finally be needed.👇
#3IATLAS #PlanetaryDefense #W71 #NNSA #UAP
1/ In 2014–2015, the U.S. Department of Energy's NNSA launched the Planetary Defense Initiative.
Three national labs Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia were tasked with figuring out how to stop an asteroid.
The preferred tools were Nukes.
2/ The focus was on asteroid Bennu, a real threat with a possible Earth impact window in the late 2100s.
They modeled kinetic impacts, nuclear standoff detonations and surface bursts using repurposed warheads.
A single memo called it a "2.7 gigaton impact scenario."
🚨BREAKING: U.S. Senate introduces the UAP Disclosure Act of 2025 (SA 3111) the most sweeping UFO transparency legislation in history.
Here's what's in the 60+ pages of legal text 🧵👇
#UAP #Disclosure #FOIA #UFO
1/ Submitted by Sen. Schumer with bipartisan backing from Sens. Rounds & Gillibrand, SA 3111 would force public disclosure of all UAP-related records held by government agencies and private contractors.
It assumes disclosure by default.
2/ The bill defines "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)" as:
Craft without known propulsion
Transmedium vehicles (air/sea/space)
Objects showing lift defying aerodynamic laws
Multispectral cloaking
Biophysical effects on humans or the environment
🧵NASA's Juno Could Intercept an Interstellar Object in 2026
Astrophysicist Avi Loeb just proposed using NASA’s Juno spacecraft to intercept the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS during its closest approach to Jupiter in March 2026.👇
2/ 3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected, following Oumuamua (2017) and Borisov (2019). It was discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey.
3/ It’s on a hyperbolic trajectory, meaning it's not gravitationally bound to the Sun, it came from outside the solar system and is just passing through.
🧵Lockheed Martin just called their top secret new aircraft “magical.”
They lost $1.6 billion on it and say it’s still worth it.
Here’s what we know so far 👇
#LockheedMartin #SkunkWorks #BlackProjects #UAP
1/ Lockheed Martin just posted one of the worst quarters in its history, reporting an 80% drop in profits and a $1.6B pretax loss.
The main reason they say is a highly classified aeronautics program the CEO called “game-changing”... and even “magical.”
2/ In Lockheed’s July 22 earnings call, CEO James D. Taiclet fielded questions about a project so secret he couldn't even name it.
His words:
“This is a highly classified program... a game changing capability for our joint U.S. and international customers.”
