PRIORITIZING EMERGING ALL-DOMAIN TECHNOLOGIES
The UAP Disclosure Fund launches its policy brief series with a thoughtful contribution from Luis D. Elizondo (@LueElizondo), a Member of UAPDF’s Board of Directors and a former senior counterintelligence officer who led the Department of Defense’s investigation into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
In the policy brief, Mr. Elizondo surveys the paradigm-shifting scientific, national security, and foreign policy implications of all-domain emerging technologies (EADT), which include UAP and advanced unmanned aerial systems (UAS, or drones).
The policy brief recommends that decisionmakers adopt a whole-of-government solution to meet head-on the challenges—and opportunities—presented by these technologies.
One approach would be to establish a “czar” to coordinate the government’s EADT response, formulate policy, and advocate for responsible transparency of the UAP matter.
“UAP eclipse the advent of yesteryear’s printing press and splitting of the atom, today’s transformations in semiconductors, and tomorrow’s breakthroughs in quantum computing and artificial intelligence—all at once.”
Mr. Elizondo writes. “But while the U.S. stigmatizes even discussing UAP, America’s enemies are racing to unlock their technology and gain a decisive edge.
Consequently, UAP can no longer be distinguished entirely from UAS and other EADT, hobbling our domain awareness and response.”
The policy brief concludes by urging the U.S. Government to re-seize the initiative on EADT and be more transparent with the American people.

Two Boise ID Area Witnesses Share UFO Videos Days Apart
January 18, 2025
Southern Idaho's first logged report of unidentified aerial phenomena in the new year has just been published to the public.
Within a week, two videos from separate witnesses near Boise and Nampa have been shared on social media.
A pair of witnesses in southwestern Idaho have shared evidence regarding two unexplained incidents involving what could two separate UFOs within a few miles of Boise.
One published report along with two shared videos out of Idaho's capital city shows two interesting occurrences of UAPs, one shot by a witness in a parking lot and another by a motorist.
One of the incidents was reported to the National UFO Reporting Center in Washington State and was investigated.
A pair of witnesses in southwestern Idaho have shared evidence regarding two unexplained incidents involving what could two separate UFOs within a few miles of Boise.
The first incident was reported to the NUFORC on January 13 just before 5 A.M.
The video of a cluster of three glowing objects within close proximity of each other was shared along with the published report by the agency.
The objects, which the witness stated looked like stars at first, can be seen clearly moving across the sky and too close to one another to be commercial or private aircraft.
This sighting was published as report #186792 by the NUFORC.
Another video, shared on January 18 to YouTube was not reported to the NUFORC but does show a long, multi-colored object that appears to be hovering in the sky between Nampa and Boise.
The footage was taken on January 10; the witness describes the event as "unreal UFO action."

Engineer Tedesco brothers use retrofitted RV to track UAPs
Updated: Jan 17, 2025 / 02:46 PM CST
Two brothers are using a mobile field lab tricked out with various forms of technology as they seek out more answers about unidentified anomalous phenomena and other objects flying around the sky.
John and Gerry Tedesco have transformed a retrofitted RV into a fully functional laboratory that tracks UAPs, aka UFOs, and other objects.
The efforts come as lawmakers and U.S. residents remain frustrated by a lack of answers over a series of drone sightings around the country.
The brothers use their lab, which they have called “The Nightcrawler,” to collect data.
The Tedesco brothers are both engineers who use The Nightcrawler to report their findings on UAPs to the FBI.
The two men were recently summoned to a Long Island airport where a series of drone sightings have been reported around the Francis Gabreski Airport in recent weeks.
The brothers provided NewsNation with an exclusive look at the Nightcrawler rolling lab, which includes a specialized camera that includes a 36x optical zoom, night vision and other technology, including Geiger counters, G4 sensors and monitors.
The brothers use the technology to collect information about sightings they encounter.
They then compare their data to information associated with commercial and private aircraft that may be in the air at the time.
The Nightcrawler’s vertical system can reach up to 70,000 feet into the air to track any moving objects in the sky as well as any radioactive particles that may be in the air.
The FBI is said to be looking into the data that the brothers have collected about recent sightings.
President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to deliver a report on drone sightings around the United States over the past few months shortly after taking office next week.
Federal agencies had previously said that drones and other objects spotted in the sky were not the property of the U.S. military or other foreign governments.

Another strange object captured by FOX26 photojournalist
Updated Thu, January 16th 2025 at 4:22 PM
A FOX26 photojournalist captured another strange object flying over Fresno Thursday morning.
This comes just one day after FOX26 aired a story about a UFO captured by a producer using the FOX26 Tower Cam around 4 a.m. on Friday, with an investigator from MUFON calling it a “confirmed UFO” and an “interesting find.”
Other objects were also seen by pilots over Fresno.
Photojournalist Anthony Guevara caught a brief video of another object in broad daylight.
The object looks very similar to the description from a pilot witness from the other day and seems to be in the same areas as the other objects.
So, what do you think it is? Have you seen anything strange in the sky lately?

Santa Clara Man Offers Police Training on UFO Sightings
04:00 PM, January 17, 2025
A local man is offering area police departments free training on how to handle reports of UFO sightings.
With the recent mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey, Santa Clara native Chris Husing believes police departments need to be better apprised of how they fit into the equation.
Toward that end, he has developed a 35-to-40-minute presentation for police departments to better inform them how to handle these reports.
Both the Air Force and the Federal Aviation Administration direct civilians who claim to have seen a UFO to their local police department. But Husing believes most police departments are unaware of this.
After graduating from Santa Clara University in 1994 with a BA in history, the Air Force hired Husing as a civilian historian. He said he saw a classified briefing on a 1966 UFO sighting.
In May 2023, he testified at the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
Up until recently, it was almost a given that anyone claiming to have seen a UFO would most likely be a crackpot claiming to have had an alien encounter.
“It is a topic that has been stigmatized,” Husing said. “The government has been very successful in debunking the subject.”
The “U” in UFO is key, Husing said, meaning that just because someone can’t identify an object in the sky doesn’t mean its origin is alien.
In his estimation, roughly 95% of UFO sightings have mundane explanations.
Despite years of dismissing many claims, in recent years, the government has released various reports and videos that lend legitimacy to many sightings.
“There are plenty of credible sightings that police have been involved with,” Husing said. “There is too much toothpaste coming out of the toothpaste tube …
The government is admitting that we don’t know what these things are that the Air Force intercepted.”
Lt. Micheal Crescini, Santa Clara Police Department’s public information officer, wrote in an email that Santa Clara police respond to a variety of calls for “suspicious activity.”
While he is unaware of any UFO reports, some of the calls include a “situation that cannot be explained.”
But Husing said it is still sometimes hard to get police departments to take the reports seriously.
Cataloging claims to UFO activity and establishing the credibility are essential, he said, something his training assists police in doing.
“You don’t have to buy into exotic origins, but at least take the report,” he said.
The presentation is aimed at filling this knowledge gap. In November last year, Husing presented his PowerPoint to a Bay Area police officers association in Millbrae, something he said went over well.
Having a central repository of information such as a website wouldn’t be difficult, but until the federal government funds it, cataloging UFO sightings will have to remain a “grassroots” effort, Husing said.
The presentation is available over video conference. To schedule a training, contact Husing at fact275@proton.me.

The Black Knight Satellite: A Perplexing Alien Visitor in Orbit
Updated 8 January, 2025 - 16:56
The Black Knight satellite, a peculiar object that has allegedly been orbiting Earth for thousands of years, has sparked great speculation, debate, and fascination among conspiracy theorists and astronomers alike for well over a century since it was first detected.
Is it a classified United States military project, a derelict Cold War-era Russian spy satellite lost in the vastness of space, or an extraterrestrial probe monitoring Earth?
The Black Knight Emerges
When Russian Cosmonaut, Sergei Krikalev, who was a part of the six-member crew of the NASA STS-88 Endeavour mission looked out of the shuttle window to take photographs of an unknown object following NASA’s protocol for UFO sightings, little could he have imagined the incredible excitement and controversy his actions would cause back on Earth.
Although Krikalev was not the first to capture the strange-looking object on camera, his effort arguably produced the clearest pictures of the purported Black Knight Satellite in a hundred years.
Intriguingly, those sensational photographs were published by NASA on their official website.
Ufologists relished the opportunity to scrutinize the pictures, declaring they proved the Black Knight Satellite was no figment of imagination; and, that as they had contended all along, it was an object of alien origin, sent to surveil Earth from afar for undetermined purposes.
The “Dark Satellite” or “Black Knight Satellite” grabbed the attention of scientists in the early days of space exploration during the 1950s, when puzzling signals were detected in near-polar orbit of the Earth.
It was a time of heightened tensions between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Inexplicable occurrences, whose sequence appears to have been orchestrated by some unseen hand, happened on the back of a series of events involving the United States.
These unprecedented episodes broadly include: The Battle of Los Angeles during the Second World War in February 1942; the detonation of the first atomic bomb in White Sands Proving Ground, New Mexico, in July 1945; the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of the same year; sightings of odd, aerial objects by pilot Kenneth Arnold in Washington State in June 1947, which were termed “flying saucers” in the Press; the alleged crash of an extraterrestrial disc and the subsequent retrieval of alien bodies in Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947, and finally the UFO sightings over Washington, D.C. on two consecutive Saturday nights in July 1952 that caused widespread fear in the Nation’s Capital.
A noteworthy addition to this list is the considerable panic that ensued during an October 1938 Halloween radio broadcast.
Directed and chillingly narrated by Orson Welles, a radio dramatization of ‘The War of the Worlds,’ the classic sci-fi novel penned by H. G. Wells, left terrified listeners thinking a Martian invasion was underway.
All these events were still fresh in people’s minds and sightings of UFOs or unidentified flying objects became a regular feature, what with the paranoid citizenry having their eyes glued to the skies.
The 1950s were also an era when the possibility of life on other planets and alien visitations began to enter public consciousness more than it ever had over the past half-a-century.
Newspaper reports and magazine articles, science fiction novels and Hollywood movies, and, of course, Ufology societies kept everyone informed and on the edge of their seats.
Clear Signs in the 1950s
On May 14, 1954, bang in the middle of the Cold War, the Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine reported that the United States Air Force had detected “at least one and possibly two artificial satellites circling the Earth” and that they were being kept under close observation.
In the normal course, such news would have constituted run-of-the-mill reportage, hardly raising eyebrows among the public.
Though it would doubtless have caused alarm in the defense department and echelons of political power, if these objects were assumed to be spy satellites.
But the Aviation Week article sent chills down everyone’s spines, because at the time it was published humans had still not achieved the capability to launch satellites in orbit.
The shocking information about the mysterious satellites was revealed by Donald Edward Keyhoe, a Marine Corps Major-turned-UFO researcher and founder of The National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena or NICAP, who claimed government scientists working at White Sands, New Mexico, had made the discovery.
