Lawmakers have called to increase funding for the Pentagon’s unidentified aerial phenomena research office following the release of the Biden administration’s budget request.
During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) questioned senior Pentagon officials, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, about the budget request for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Questions from Gillibrand, who chairs the Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, focused on why the office was underfunded for the second year in a row.
“The incidents last month involving the Chinese high-altitude balloon and the three unknown objects highlighted the need for us to continue to improve our understanding of UAP’s over U.S. airspace,” Gillibrand said.
In response, Austin pledged to fully fund the office in the future, and said the Pentagon requested $11 million for its research in the fiscal year 2024 budget.
Military Times has reached out to Gillibrand’s office for clarification on the figure, which was disputed during the hearing. The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment about Austin’s remarks as of publication. On March 14, Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough told Military Times the fiscal year 2024 AARO budget figures were classified.

The Pentagon said that footage of U.S. military aircraft shooting down two unidentified flying objects over Alaska is currently considered classified and will not be publicly released."The footage of the high altitude objects and the takedown of those objects exists," a Defense Department spokesman told Fox News Digital Wednesday, adding that "none of that footage has been cleared for release" and that "the footage remained classified."
The comments come after the Defense Department said last month that multiple "high-altitude objects" were shot down over Alaska at the direction of President Biden [...].
"No official video footage of the objects or their take-down have been cleared for release, and I would not have any information about a timeline for any future potential release," the DOD spokesperson said.
The lack of transparency from the Pentagon has fueled speculation about exactly what the military shot down, with one balloon hobbyist club speculating that at least one of the objects may have been one of their weather monitoring balloons.

For the second time in less than two weeks, we have something mysterious happening with UFOs in the skies over California.
This latest UFO sighting was recorded on video by a passenger on a commercial Southwest Airlines flight on March 11th.
“On Saturday March 11, 2023, I was flying south over central California on Southwest Airlines 2463 from Sacramento Airport (SMF) to San Diego (SAN). I was seated in the window seating, on the left side in the middle of the plane, right behind the left wing,” the witness told UFO Sightings Daily.
“About halfway through our flight, I was looking out the window and saw a tic tac UFO in the distance traveling perpendicular to us. It was a white cylinder craft, with no wings, windows, markings, or discernible features. It was a smooth white cylinder with no visible means of propulsion or exhaust, plumes."

On the night of March 24, 1967, Robert Salas was a 26-year-old U.S. Air Force lieutenant cocooned 20 metres below the Montana prairie overseeing weaponry that could obliterate millions.
Instead, without any warning, Salas said his menacing cluster of 10 Minutemen 1 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) burrowed beneath the Malmstrom Air Force base a five-hour drive southeast of Calgary seemed to be prey.
“I felt we were under attack,” said Salas in a phone interview from his home near Ventura, Calif.
But the assailants, he said, weren’t any Cold War foes.
Soviet technology couldn’t have abruptly disabled the missiles’ guidance and control systems, which is what happened that night.
“You would have to have sent individual signals to each missile and within seconds, we had (no power),” said Salas, 82.
“This had never happened before and we have nothing that could do that now.”

“The Donut Legion,” by Joe R. Lansdale (Mulholland)
Charlie Garner, a former private detective turned novelist, was staring through his telescope at the rural East Texas sky late one night when he received an unexpected visit from his ex-wife, Meg.
Or did he?
A storm had left the ground soft, perfect for leaving footprints and tire tracks, but in the morning there was no sign that she had ever been there. Had it been a dream? A hallucination? An apparition?
Charlie was still in love with Meg, who’d left him to marry another man, and what she’d come to tell him — if he hadn’t imagined it — was disturbing. She thought her husband had been murdered, and she wanted him to look into it.
As the plot of Joe R. Lansdale’s “The Donut Legion” gets rolling, Charlie is shaken but uncertain that there is anything to it at first. But soon, he learns that both Meg and her husband have disappeared, leaving all of their possessions behind.
Charlie’s suspicions turn to The Saucer People, a cult that had persuaded hundreds of gullible Texans to surrender their worldly goods and wait for flying saucers to carry them to paradise. The group was also known as The Donut Legion because it was laundering money through a string of local donut shops.

During an appearance on the “Full Send” podcast, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson recalled a recent discussion with a Stanford professor, who, 11 years ago, was allegedly tasked by the Defense Department to investigate numerous cases of troops dying due to UFO-inflicted brain injuries.
The polarizing host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” shared that his source, who claimed to have expertise in traumatic brain injury, studied the brains of more than 100 troops who died following such encounters. The professor also told Carlson that there are dozens of open court cases that support his claims.

A strange grouping of UFOs was recently captured on video in the sky over Menifee, California.
The glowing object or objects “moved slow and appeared and disappeared,” according to the witness.
“Watch this awesome catch in California,” prolific UFO expert Scott Waring wrote on his website. “The witness saw these objects appear and unite and then shoot into the clouds and vanish several times. This seems to have no other explanation except possible alien craft flying together.”

There is a possibility that extraterrestrial motherships and smaller probes may be visiting planets in our solar system, the head of the Pentagon’s unidentified aerial phenomena research office noted in a report draft shared Tuesday.
“[A]n artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions,” Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, wrote in a research report co-authored by Abraham Loeb, chairman of Harvard University’s astronomy department.

Was there an out-of-this-world cause of a 1967 power failure that knocked out electricity in Woonsocket, Cumberland and North Smithfield?
Harold A. Trudel of Woonsocket thought so.
A day later he told The Providence Journal and its sister paper, The Evening Bulletin, that he saw a UFO hovering over power lines in the city just before the blackout.
And Trudel went one step further: He produced several photos of the whirling, saucer-like craft, some of the most famous UFO photos ever published....
