Ufologists Predict "Holy Cow" Moment When an Alien "Armada" Arrives in 2027

8/31/2026

Several big names in the current UFO Disclosure movement appear to have achieved consensus that the aliens will reveal themselves next year—or, at least, that’s what they want you to think they said until the inevitable course-correction next year when they will claim they never said it. Over the past couple of years, Chris Bledsoe, Ross Coulthart, Lue Elizondo, and others have all targeted the months around the start of 2027 for a rumored UFO revelation will leave the benighted masses awestruck at the grandeur of cosmic beings they, of course, have already prostrated themselves before and to whose glory they are now immune. After Bledsoe reiterated his 2027 prediction this weekend, the constellation of 2027 predictions went viral on UFO social media.

Jack Osbourne Claims President Trump Said UFOs Are "in the Ocean"

8/25/2026

16 Comments

In a podcast appearance on the Cleared Hot Podcast to promote his own paranormal podcasts, Jack Osbourne claimed that a friend had told him the Donald Trump alleged that UFOs are in the ocean: “I have a friend who is close with the president. And they speak often. And he asked him about it, and his quote was—this is what he told me the president said—was, ‘We have no idea what they are, but they’re in the ocean.’” (Osbourne did not identify the friend, but he is known to be close with Dana White, the UFC CEO who is also a close friend of Donald Trump.)

While this caused a frenzy in social media ufology circles, it sounds to me like Trump babbling about the last thing he heard from Tim Gallaudet or one of the other kooks trying to get the government to fund more ufology. (I wrote about Gallaudet and his interest in underwater UFOs and Atlantis back in April.) They have been pushing undersea UFOs for the past year, apparently having conceded that all of our satellites and telescopes have failed to find flying saucers zipping into Earth from other stars. See, for example, a late June episode of Ancient Aliens featuring interviews with several legislators with the ear of the president, including Reps. Anna Paulina Luna and Eric Burlison, who spoke about underwater alien bases.

The coincidence in timing is notable. Osbourne made his comments three weeks ago, not long after the Ancient Aliens episode aired, but the Cleared Hot Podcast had such low viewership that no one noticed until this week, when a clip began circulating on social media and was picked up by the tabloid press.

Noah's Ark Researchers Claim Normal Geological Scan Is Proof Durupınar Is Ark

8/24/2026

8 Comments

For much of the past year, the group of evangelical Christians working to prove that Turkey’s vaguely boat-shaped Durupınar Formation is the remains of Noah’s Ark has been on a media tour, spreading their inconclusive claims across major media outlets, including the Today show. They also made some bizarre claims recently about petrified trees and early modern maps. This week Noah’s Ark Scans released yet another in an endless series of nearly identical claims, garnering more media coverage for alleging to have new evidence in favor of their belief. This, however, was little more than hot air aimed at the media, since their own findings proved nothing of the sort, as they themselves admitted.

Survey Finds UFO News Coverage Driving Increase in Alien Beliefs

8/22/2026

7 Comments

A recently released survey conducted in July found that Americans believe more in extraterrestrial visitation and UFOs due to news coverage of the subject. The survey of 2,000 Americans, conducted by Talker Research, found that younger adults were more heavily impacted than older adults, and men were more likely to believe and to be excited about the possibility of alien visitation than women. According to the published report:

Our survey of 2,000 Americans asked people whether recent UFO or UAP news coverage has changed their opinion on the topic and found that 37% now believe more than they used to.

More than half (54%) say their opinion on extraterrestrials has not changed and 10% say it’s actually made them believe less, according to the research findings.

News coverage on UFOs or UAPs seems more likely to move younger generations towards belief — 54% of Gen Z have increased their belief due to recent news stories, with the impact falling with age.

The survey also found that, contrary to claims by ufologists and their allies in Congress, only 17% of Americans said they would be fearful of aliens or concerned about their presence, contradicting ufology claims of "ontological shock" and "civilizational collapse" should aliens reveal themselves.

The respondents also claimed, weirdly, that while news coverage shaped their UFO beliefs, they did not feel that alien-themed media impacted overall belief in aliens, perhaps reflecting the reticence of Americans to believe that their ideas are being shaped by media messages.

The long and short of it is that the propaganda campaign UFO believers instituted starting in 2017 to seed the media with stories about government cover-ups and UFO threats is working and is shifting the Overton Window and thus the beliefs of the audience for these messages.

In Brief: Eric Davis Tells NewsNation the U.S. Has Bodies from Four Alien Species

8/19/2026

We have covered this before, so I will only mention briefly that Eric Davis went vial on social media over the last 24 hours after he claimed once again that the United States possesses the remains of four different species of space aliens: Greys, Nordics, Reptilians, and Insectoid. Davis made the claim on NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich Tonight. Davis’s claim is identical to one that Hal Puthoff, his erstwhile colleague, made on the Diary of a CEO podcast in May, which was widely covered in the media. During the appearance, Davis renewed his call for Donald Trump to authorize him to reveal what he knows. I’m not sure what exactly is classified if Davis—who worked for a contractor, not the federal government, and was never officially tasked with hunting aliens until he returned to advise the UAP Task Force—can tell us all about the four species and where the government is hiding their bodies.

The Secret History of Dick Cheney's Prison for Space Aliens

8/16/2026

4 Comments

As many of you are undoubtedly aware, David Grusch made some rather bizarre claims on the Dr. Phil podcast this week, and one of the wildest was the allegation that Dick Cheney ran a space alien prison for extraterrestrials with psychic powers: “I know people who have had direct interactions in a detainment situation, which sounds very Star Trek and sounds very crazy, but it is true,” Grusch told Phil McGraw. “And I talked to a cabinet member, a former cabinet member about that, who directly worked the issue for a particular former vice president. You can guess which one, Darth Vader.” “Darth Vader” was a nickname given to Cheney, who served as George W. Bush’s vice president from 2001 to 2009, because of his hardline policies and aggressive defense of executive power, a moniker he embraced and said he was “proud” of.

UFO News Roundup: Rubio's "Diversionary Tactic," Grusch's "Pilot" Photos, and More

Unfortunately, it seems that Ancient Aliens concluded its season last week without any notice. There are no more episodes scheduled for the near future. If it is the end of the season, this is one of the shortest in a long time, with just 15 episodes, two fewer than last year and five fewer than the seasons that preceded it. Of the fifteen episodes, six were clip shows. That means there were only nine original episodes in 2026, the fewest since the abbreviated pandemic season.

So, since we don’t have an episode to dissect today, instead, it’s time for a UFO news roundup.

In Brief: Journal Retracts Filippo Biondi's Remote Sensing Pyramid Paper

8/10/2026

8 Comments

A 2022 scientific paper by Filippo Biondi and Carlo Malanga that claimed to find a previously unknown internal structure in the Great Pyramid of Giza by using a novel remote sensing technique has been retracted, according to a notice published on the website of the journal Remote Sensing. “The Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that confirmed serious methodological flaws and statistical errors that were deemed to undermine the scientific conclusions of the article,” the journal said in a statement today. The errors were first reported by a reader who notified the journal, which opened an inquiry. Biondi disagrees with the retraction.

The 2022 paper served as Biondi’s scientific credentials for using his satellite-based remote sensing technique to make implausible claims about the discovery of massive structures below the Great Pyramid and a second Sphinx buried at Giza. With the paper retracted, those “findings” (yes, the same findings that left Joe Rogan speechless) have no peer-reviewed scientific support for the methods used to find the alleged structures—methods experts had already criticized as fanciful, noting that no similar satellite-based technique can penetrate as far into the ground or with as much precision as Biondi claimed for his scans.

Ross Coulthart Claims Trump Authorized Military to Shoot Down UFOs

8/10/2026

This weekend, NewsNation UFO correspondent Ross Coulthart claimed that Donald Trump had authorized the military to use “directed energy weapons” to shoot down UFOs. During a Reality Check podcast, Coulthart claimed that White House sources told him about the order and that the military has “recently downed objects and craft” in the U.S. and in Mexico under Trump’s direction. “There is a full-on effort by the Administration to recover non-human intelligence exotic technology in a program totally separate from the so-called Legacy Program,” Coulthart said.

Review of Ancient Aliens S22E15: “Africa’s Extraterrestrial Contact”

8/7/2026

Following on the heels of the last original episode not composed of clips, the Amazon-themed outing from two weeks ago, we return this week to rehashing familiar ancient astronaut claims by geographic proximity. The topic under consideration is “Africa,” the second-largest continent on Earth and one of exceptional geographic and cultural diversity. But for Ancient Aliens, Africa is the mysterious netherworld beyond civilization. In the old Looney Tune “Porky in Wackyland” (1938), Porky flies into Africa and crosses “Dark Africa” and “Darker Africa” en route to “Darkest Africa,” where surreal mysteries await. It’s hard not to think that Ancient Aliens views Africa—and indeed every part of the world outside the U.S. and Europe—in much the same way. If it were not for Egypt being part of Africa, they might have considered it wholly wild.
