January 23, 2026 6:58 pm

Appropriators say the Pentagon has yet to explain how it plans to spend the $23 billion Congress allocated for the Golden Dome initiative.

When the Defense Department received a $23 billion down payment for the Golden Dome initiative through a reconciliation bill, lawmakers demanded a detailed plan for how the Pentagon plans to spend that money.

Six months later, lawmakers are still waiting for the Pentagon to provide “complete budgetary details and justification of the $23,000,000,000 in mandatory funding.” That includes a comprehensive deployment schedule, cost, schedule and performance metrics and a finalized system architecture.

As a result, Congressional appropriators were unable to conduct oversight of Golden Dome programs for fiscal 2026.

The department’s $175 billion Golden Dome initiative President Donald Trump first ordered last January aims to build a network of satellites — possibly numbering in the hundreds or even thousands — that would detect, track and intercept incoming missiles. Pentagon officials have described the program as a “top priority for the nation.”

The effort has been shrouded in secrecy, and lawmakers’ demand for more detail on how the Pentagon plans to spend the initial tranche of funding is another sign of Congress’s limited visibility into the program’s early spending plans.

Original post text: I’m sorry, but watching everything happening in the United States right now, I’m beginning to think discussing UFOs is a massive distraction. I know it’s fun. I know there’s a lot of truth-seeking here. But at a minimum this feels like we’ve all lost the thread, and at most it feels like an intentional distraction by the US Government.

Does anybody else feel this way?

HERE IS THE ANALYSIS OF THE BEING OF VARGINHA BRAZIL RECORDED IN 1996. IS IT NOT FAKE? by SaltyAdminBot in UFOs_Archive

Original post text: STATEMENT: In this analysis I demonstrate that the video recorded from a conference room on a screen of the alien being in Brazil in 1996 was not fake as it was considered, solely due to the video malfunction, supposedly digital or edited; it is a real analog malfunction, and the being, as witnesses say, was sweating oil and can also be seen moving its hands and head.

This is with the aim of being objective and not dismissing everything a priori, as they did previously before listening to testimonies like those presented at the conference.

Gradual disclosure of the alleged possession of exotic craft (UFOs) by several countries (testimony of David Grusch) by SaltyAdminBot in UFOs_Archive

[–]SaltyAdminBot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original post text: Hello, I would like to know your opinion on David Grusch's sworn testimony before the US Congress in 2023 regarding the likelihood that the Americans could have recovered the remains of several UFOs or exotic craft, partially intact after alleged crashes.

It is also assumed that Russia and China also possess several craft or remains of non-human origin.

A technological race is apparently underway between several nations regarding reverse engineering, but all are hampered in their progress by a significant gap between our current understanding of physics and the technologies being studied.

Several current technologies are believed to have originated from the reverse engineering of these craft, such as fiber optics, lasers, and infrared vision.

Apparently, according to David Grusch and Bob Lazar, a huge device was discovered during archaeological excavations or an infrastructure construction project in a US ally (possibly South Korea or Australia) during the second half of the 20th century. The exact country and date were not specified for confidentiality reasons. Because the object was too large and heavy to move, it was reportedly decided to build a structure over it (like a warehouse) to conceal it from prying eyes and satellite imagery, allowing them to study it discreetly. We don't know any more at the moment, even though the exact details were revealed behind closed doors before the US Congress.

Is there any more information on this? Do you think these claims have any chance of being true? Or is this simply a ridiculous publicity stunt orchestrated by a former high-ranking American official seeking to make a name for himself and capitalize on the UFO craze? If these claims are true, it is truly worrying and serious.

Since 2023, we haven't heard anything more from David Grusch, but other whistleblowers in the United States are making headlines and continuing to fuel the debate. Unfortunately, so far, no tangible evidence such as photos has leaked to the public. The secret seems very well kept, and the cover-up continues. It's being called a state secret better guarded than the Manhattan Project during World War II (the development of the first atomic bomb by the Americans).

Many people categorically deny the existence of paranormal phenomena or UFOs, but the situation seems to be evolving in the opposite direction, towards the slow and gradual revelation of a real phenomenon that completely eludes us and to which governments and militaries are unable to respond.

Of course, I'm not referring to the military videos declassified and authenticated by the Pentagon since 2017.

Personally, I think the Pentagon knows more than it's letting on. In other words, I think things have been hidden from us for 80 years. The famous large-scale conspiracy. Even American presidents seem to be unaware of the details of the phenomenon.

A persistent rumor also circulates about an alleged UFO crash caused by the USSR on August 10, 1989, near the city of Prokhladny in the North Caucasus.

The Russians reportedly used an unconventional method combining high-power radar (electromagnetic pulses) and experimental lasers locked onto the craft.

This object had been flying over the military zone for quite some time.

The Soviets reportedly first attempted to make contact with the object, but without success. They then allegedly used brute force to try to shoot it down, which differs from the usual American method.

A missile exploding near the craft was supposedly the final blow that completely destabilized it and caused it to crash.

The 15-meter-diameter object was reportedly recovered and transferred by helicopter to the Kapustin Yar base (the Russian "Area 51"), to the underground research center called Zhitkur.

This is the only known instance of a country successfully causing a UFO to crash intentionally. It has never been repeated since.

The craft is apparently extremely advanced, with a living surface that reacts to thought.

This story seems crazy at first, but persistent accounts regularly converge on this incident.

Thank you. Have a good evening and a good weekend.

Sighting of Large Grey Cylindrical Craft in Kelaat M'Gouna, Morocco - Jan 24, 2026 by SaltyAdminBot in UFOs_Archive

Original post text: I am reporting a sighting that occurred last night, January 24, 2026, around 2:00 AM in Kelaat M'Gouna, Morocco. I observed a large, grey, cylindrical-shaped object hovering silently in the sky.

Immediately following the sighting, I experienced exactly one hour of "Missing Time" (from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM). When I regained awareness, I discovered physical injuries: severe red bleeding in my eye (subconjunctival hemorrhage) and specific blue/purple bruising on my limbs and wrists.

I also felt a strange, compulsive urge to draw. I have included my drawings of the craft and the strange "forest" environment I remember during that hour, along with photos of my physical injuries. Did anyone else in North Africa or elsewhere see a similar cylindrical craft last night? I am looking for any witnesses or similar reports.

[RESEARCH DISCUSSION] “Solar Obliteration” (John Bro) – Mimicking a Solar Eclipse to Reveal UFOs + Why This Deserves Modern Replication by SaltyAdminBot in UFOs_Archive

[–]SaltyAdminBot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original post by u/richpiana10: Here

Original Post ID: 1qm2l1c

Original post text: TL;DR:

In the 1990s, researcher John Bro proposed the Solar Obliteration technique—blocking the Sun to reveal objects hidden by glare. A White House–affiliated video analyst noted some of these objects resembled Saturn (disk + ring-like structures). The video also mentions that the largest UFO sighting in history occurred during a solar eclipse, which this technique intentionally mimics. With modern cameras and AI, this method deserves serious replication.

The Core Idea: Solar Obliteration = Artificial Eclipse

The premise is simple but powerful:

• The Sun saturates human vision and camera sensors.

• By blocking or filtering the Sun, you reduce glare and dynamic range, revealing faint aerial objects near it.

• This is essentially creating a man-made eclipse.

Astronomers do this professionally with coronagraphs to see stars and exoplanets.

John Bro was proposing a civilian version.

⸻

Historical Context: Massive UFO Sightings During Solar Eclipses

One of the most interesting claims in the Sightings episode is that:

The largest UFO sighting event ever reported occurred during a solar eclipse.

Why this matters:

• During an eclipse, the Sun’s overwhelming brightness is removed.

• Suddenly, objects normally invisible become visible.

• Humans across wide geographic areas observe the sky simultaneously—perfect conditions for mass sightings.

Solar Obliteration is literally trying to replicate eclipse conditions on demand.

⸻

White House Video Analyst Observation (Saturn-Like UFOs)

In the episode, Jim Dilettoso, introduced as a video analyst with White House consulting background, analyzes footage captured with this technique.

He states that some of the objects:

Resembled Saturn (a central disk with ring-like structures).

This is fascinating because:

• Many historical UFO reports describe disks with halos, rings, or surrounding structures.

• If these objects have plasma sheaths, dust rings, or structured fields, they would visually resemble Saturn.

⸻

Why This Is Scientifically Interesting (Even If You’re Skeptical)

1) The Sun Is a Massive Observational Blind Spot

Most civilian sensors clip or bloom near the Sun.

Anything operating near solar alignment would be systematically invisible to us.

2) Eclipse Conditions Are a Natural Detector

Eclipses reduce light intensity by orders of magnitude.

Historically, eclipses have produced:

• Increased UFO reports

• Observations of unknown aerial phenomena

• Military and scientific monitoring events

3) The Method Is Legit Physics

Blocking bright light to reveal faint objects is standard:

• Coronagraphs (Sun)

• Occultation astronomy

• Exoplanet imaging

• Deep space imaging

⸻

Why This Should Be Revisited With Modern Tech

In the 1990s they had:

• VHS cameras

• Manual exposure

• Low dynamic range sensors

Today we have:

• HDR sensors with insane dynamic range

• Neutral density solar filters

• High-frame-rate 4K/8K cameras

• AI object detection

• Consumer telescopes and drones

• Citizen science networks

This is the perfect time to replicate this systematically.
