In a first, India shoots down drones with laser weapon, joins elite league of nations
13 Apr 2025, 08:45 PM IST
India has joined an elite club of top tier nations alongside the United States, China and Russia as it has developed a new that can shoot down fixed-wing drones and swarm drones.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has successfully developed the weapon that uses a high-energy 30-kilowatt laser beam to shoot down such drones.
The DRDO has successfully conducted the trial of Mk-II(A) Laser- Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) at the National Open Air Range (NOAR) in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh.
According to an ANI report quoting DRDO officials, the trial enables DRDO to master the technology of disabling missiles, drones and smaller projectiles.
The Mk-II(A) DEW system
The Mk-II(A) DEW system has been developed indegenously.
During the trial, the full capability of the weapon was showcased by engaging the fixed-wing drones at long range, thwarting a multiple drone attacks and destroying enemy surveillance sensors and antennae.
The lightning speed of engagement, the precision and the lethality delivered to the target within few seconds made it the most potent Counter Drone System, reported ANI.
The system was developed by DRDO's Centre for High Energy Systems and Sciences (CHESS), Hyderabad, in collaboration with LRDE, IRDE, DLRL and academic institutions and Indian industries.
How does the DRDO laser weapon work?
Once detected by a radar or by its inbuilt Electro Optic (EO) system, laser-DEW can engage targets at the speed of light and use an intense beam of powerful light (Laser Beam) to cut through the target, leading to structural failure or more impactful results if the warhead is targeted.
This type of cutting-edge weaponry has the potential to revolutionize the battlespace by reducing the reliance on expensive ammunition while also lowering the risk of collateral damage.
The DEW will soon be replacing traditional kinetic weapons and missile defence systems due to its ease of operation and cost-effectiveness.
The requirement for cost-effective defence solutions to offset the low-cost drone attacks is driving the adoption of DEWs by military organisations worldwide.
The cost of firing it for a few seconds is equivalent to the cost of a couple of litres of petrol. Therefore, it has the potential to be a long-term & low-cost alternative to defeat the target.
“This is just the beginning of the journey. The synergy that this lab has achieved with other DRDO labs, industry and academia, I am sure we will reach our destination soon…
We are also working on other high energy systems like high energy microwaves, electromagnetic pulse. So we are working on a number of technologies that will give us Star Wars capability.
What you saw today was one of the components of Star Wars technologies,” DRDO chairperson Samir V Kamat was quoted as saying by ANI.

Ukraine again ‘unilaterally’ attacks Russian energy infrastructure – MOD
13 Apr, 2025 09:05
The Ukrainian military has targeted two energy facilities in Russia’s Belgorod Region over the past 24 hours, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted a proposal by his US counterpart Donald Trump to adhere to a 30-day pause on targeting energy facilities operated by Kiev and Moscow during their phone call on March 18.
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky also said that his country would abide by the truce. However, the Russian military has since accused Kiev’s forces of breaching the partial ceasefire on an almost daily basis.
“In violation of the Russia-US agreement, Kiev continues its unilateral attacks on Russian energy infrastructure,” the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
On Saturday evening, more than 600 households were left without electricity in Belgorod Region’s Shebekinsky District of as a result of the “deliberate shelling” of a local energy facility by Ukrainian forces, the statement read.
On Sunday morning, another bombardment of energy infrastructure by Kiev’s troops led to power shortages in the village of Stepnoye in Krasnoyaruzhsky District, it added.
The Kremlin said that Russia is abiding by the truce and has refrained from targeting Ukrainian energy facilities in order to build goodwill with Washington, but it also warned that Moscow reserves the right to pull out of the 30-day agreement early if it is not honored by Kiev.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has previously suggested that Ukraine is deliberately violating the partial ceasefire in an attempt to undermine peace initiatives and the dialogue between Russia and the US.

Europe dismantles 'Hezbollah drone supply network' spanning four countries
13 April, 2025
A sophisticated Hezbollah logistics network operating across Europe was dismantled between summer 2024 and early April 2025, according to a report by French daily Le Figaro on Friday.
The group, involving individuals of Lebanese origin, is accused of sourcing and shipping components for the construction of military drones, with the final destination believed to be Hezbollah forces in Lebanon.
The investigation began in Catalonia, where Spain's Guardia Civil detected unusual purchases of drone-related materials in mid-2024.
The suspects, reportedly Lebanese nationals, operated through Spanish companies they controlled.
According to investigators cited by Le Figaro, these purchases included materials and components capable of producing hundreds - possibly up to a thousand - drones, raising alarm over their potential use in hostile operations.
Among the materials seized were electronic guidance systems, propulsion propellers, dozens of gasoline engines, over 200 electric motors, and several tonnes of resin and composite substances used to manufacture drone fuselages, wings, and other parts.
The intended use of these items was to build drones capable of carrying several kilograms of explosives.
Investigators suspect that similar components may have already been used in drones launched by Hezbollah against Israeli targets.
The materials were not only sourced from Spain, but also from other European countries and beyond, suggesting a vast and well-organised procurement operation.
Arrests in Spain and Germany
Spanish authorities uncovered further links to Germany, where one of the alleged traffickers had established a base of operations.
Spanish police contacted Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), leading to coordinated arrests on 14 July 2024.
That day, three Lebanese nationals were arrested in Spain — two in Barcelona and one in the nearby town of Badalona.
The suspects were living discreetly in the centre of Barcelona, near the famous Sagrada Familia basilica.
According to Le Figaro, two of them were released under judicial supervision, with passport confiscations and travel bans, while the third suspect was placed in pre-trial detention.
The Spanish judge's ruling identified the detained man, Firas A.H., 38, as part of a group of Lebanese nationals based in Spain and Germany, all allegedly linked to Hezbollah.
He is suspected of purchasing materials "that could be converted into weapons of war capable of targeting civilian and military sites in Israel and Europe".
The judge confirmed that although the group had no active plans to carry out attacks in Europe, the "final destination" for the materials was Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Spanish authorities believe the group was on the verge of shipping a significant quantity of these drone components by sea to Lebanon, which they say posed a "serious threat" to regional security.
In parallel, German authorities arrested another Lebanese national, Fadel Z., in the town of Salzgitter, Lower Saxony.
According to Germany's federal prosecutor, Z. had joined Hezbollah no later than the summer of 2016.
Since early 2024, he had allegedly purchased components for military drones - particularly engines - which were intended for export to Lebanon and use in terrorist attacks against Israel.
The investigation continued into 2025. On 1 April, the Spanish Guardia Civil carried out another raid in the same Barcelona apartment searched in July 2024, arresting three additional suspects.
Two were placed under judicial supervision, while a third was jailed on charges including membership in a criminal organisation, financing criminal activity, and trafficking fake documents.
The investigation soon widened beyond Spain and Germany. In France, the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI) arrested a suspect in April 2025.
The French National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor's Office confirmed that a judicial investigation was launched on 4 April.
The individual was indicted and placed in custody on charges of belonging to a terrorist group and preparing acts of terrorism involving crimes against persons.
Meanwhile, UK authorities made their own arrests.
On 3 April 2025, British counter-terrorism police detained two men in northern London, Le Figaro reported.
A 39-year-old was arrested on suspicion of membership in a banned organisation — Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist group in the UK since 2019 — as well as for preparing "terrorist acts" and "financing terrorism".
A second man, aged 35, was arrested on suspicion of membership in a banned group. Both were released on bail and are expected to return to court by mid-July.

'Firebomb' drone drops into Dublin prison yard 'stopped overnight' thanks to new wire mesh
11:06, 13 APR 2025
Weekly 'firebomb' drone drops into a Dublin prison yard have been "stopped overnight" thanks to a new state-of-the-art wire mesh.
We have learned that the Irish Prison Service constructed the new wire mesh over the D Yard of Mountjoy Prison after cunning criminals managed to set fire to packages that were dropped from drones and repeatedly burned through the old net on a weekly basis.
The construction of the new material, which sources say is far more impenetrable, is believed to have stopped a major crime gang's ability to drop drugs and mobile phones into the yard overnight.
It comes in tandem with a major garda operation this week that targeted the suspected ringleader of a behind-bars operation utilising these drones to drop drugs, phones and other illegal items into the yard.
The good news also comes amid a major crisis for Mountjoy Prison – which we can reveal has hit an all-time population high of over 1,000 prisoners this week.
Sources say the drone problem had become so bad that a Dublin based gang was managing to have packages dropped into the yard on a weekly basis – meaning potentially thousands of euro worth of illicit items were making their way into the prison.
Sources say the new netting has stopped the gang in their tracks overnight – and joint cooperation with Gardai – who carried out raids this week, has left the gang reeling.
A violent criminal serving time for serious offences was also arrested as part of the garda operation.
Officers questioned the prisoner, believed to be in a dispute with the West Dublin-based gang known as 'The Family,' as they carried out raids on various properties in Clondalkin, Ballyfermot, Coolock and Tallaght on Tuesday.
During those searches, Gardai from the South Serious Crime Unit with assistance from the Dublin Crime Response Team found phones wrapped in insulation tape ready to be sent by drone to the prisons.
Controlled drugs including €17,000 cannabis, €5,000 cocaine, €3,000 tablets were also seized along with €22,000 in cash, a drone, a Rolex watch, mobile phones, financial documents, improvised weapons and drug paraphernalia including weighing scales and bagging equipment.
As part of that investigation, Gardai also searched two other cells in Mountjoy – though no one else was arrested and no contraband found.
Meanwhile Mountjoy Prison is dealing with a new low in the overcrowding crisis – with its population reaching over 1,000 prisoners for the first time ever this week.
On Wednesday there were 1,004 prisoners in Mountjoy – even though it only has a bed capacity for 807 prisoners.
The number further shows the scale of the overcrowding crisis on the prison system – and comes after this paper revealed fears that the total prisoner population is set to reach an all-time high of 5,500.
As of Wednesday that number stood at 5,393 despite there being a bed capacity for just 4,641prisoners.
Sources say there are three prisoners in cells that are designed for just one person – with many lags sleeping on mattresses on the floor.
In a statement the Irish Prison Service (IPS) said it "must accept into custody all people committed to prison by the courts.
As such, the Prison Service has no control over the numbers committed to custody at any given time."
It said that it makes every effort to deal with overcrowding "through a combination of inter-prison transfers and structured Temporary Release."
As of Friday there were 598 prisoners on temporary release, according to IPS, who also told us it is "working closely with the Department of Justice to take steps to ensure a safe working environment for staff, and the safety and security of people in custody."
It stated the government has made "significant capital funding available, to enhance the prison infrastructure and provide additional capacity."
The IPS also cited an 18 per cent increase, of €79m, in Budget 2025 towards €525m in funding to increase prison capacity and support prisoner services.
It further stated its capital budget for this year is €53m, an increase of €22.5m on 2024 – and stated the money was being used to bring additional prison spaces.
It added: "The Prison Service continues to engage with the Department of Justice to support the target of 1,500 additional places as set out under Programme for Government."

“Russia Calls It Science Fiction”: MIT’s Glowing Bacteria Now Beam Chemical Messages to Drones Flying Overhead
April 13, 2025 at 9:14 AM
In an exciting development at the intersection of biology and technology, researchers have genetically engineered bacteria to emit light in both visible and infrared ranges.
This breakthrough allows these modified organisms to communicate chemical signals over long distances, effectively turning them into living sensors.
These signals can be detected by drones or satellites equipped with hyperspectral cameras, paving the way for innovative applications in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and more.
This article delves into the science behind this advancement, its potential uses, and the implications for various sectors.
Breaking New Ground in Bacterial Communication
Traditionally, engineered bacteria have been used as sensors to monitor pollutants or nutrients in environments like soil.
However, their practical application outside the laboratory has been limited due to the need for close-range, specialized imaging equipment to detect their fluorescent signals.
MIT researchers have now overcome this barrier by developing bacteria that emit unique optical signatures when exposed to specific molecules.
These signatures can be detected from distances up to 295 feet using hyperspectral cameras, dramatically increasing the range and utility of bacterial sensors.
The innovation lies in the ability to modify bacteria to emit light that falls under both visible and infrared spectrums.
When these genetically engineered bacteria encounter certain chemicals, they produce light-emitting molecules known as hyperspectral reporters.
This allows the emitted light to be captured by cameras from a significant distance, transforming how we obtain information from biological systems.
According to Christopher Voigt, a senior author of the study, this technology provides a new way to extract information from cells without the need for direct visual observation.
From Lab to Field: Sensing Bacteria in Action
The transition from laboratory to field tests has showcased the potential of these modified bacteria in real-world settings.
Researchers placed the bacteria in secure boxes and deployed them in various locations, including rooftops and desert plots.
Drones equipped with hyperspectral cameras scanned these areas, capturing data on which bacteria had activated their reporter molecules.
This rapid scanning process, taking less than 30 seconds per field, demonstrates the efficiency and practicality of the system.

Notably, the technology has already been tested to detect specific elements such as arsenic.
Its flexibility allows it to be adapted for various uses, from precision agriculture—monitoring soil nutrient levels like nitrogen—to environmental safety applications, including landmine detection.
The possibility of engineering bacteria to work inside plant cells opens up further avenues for creating living systems that communicate through light signals visible from the sky.
As Yonatan Chemla, one of the lead authors of the paper, explains, the ongoing work involves understanding regulatory landscapes, safety concerns, and the benefits of this groundbreaking technology.
The Science Behind Hyperspectral Reporters
The core of this technological leap is the genetic engineering of bacteria to emit light through hyperspectral reporters. These light-emitting molecules have been genetically linked to sensor circuits within the bacterial cells.
Researchers, using quantum calculations, examined around 20,000 natural cell compounds to identify those with the most unique spectral fingerprints.
Two primary selections emerged: biliverdin, a pigment derived from heme breakdown and bacteriochlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment found in certain bacteria.
The significance of these compounds is that they are distinct from other molecules and require minimal enzymes for production within the cell. This makes them ideal candidates for creating detectable signals.
The versatility of these reporters means they can be added to any bacterium with a genetically encoded sensor, enabling it to respond to various environmental triggers such as metals, radiation, or toxins.
As Voigt puts it, these reporters provide a means to remotely sense biological responses, greatly expanding the capabilities of bacterial sensors.
Potential Applications and Future Prospects
The applications of this technology are vast and varied. In agriculture, it can revolutionize how farmers monitor soil health, optimizing the use of fertilizers and reducing environmental impact.
In environmental contexts, it offers a novel approach to detecting contaminants or hazardous substances. The adaptability of the system also hints at potential uses in other fields, such as medical diagnostics or industrial monitoring.
However, the introduction of such technology also raises questions about regulatory frameworks and safety protocols.
With the ability to integrate these sensors into living systems, the scope of what can be achieved is only limited by imagination and ethical considerations.
As the technology progresses, it will be essential to address concerns about genetic modifications and their implications.
Balancing innovation with caution will be key to harnessing the full potential of these remarkable biosensors.
As we stand on the cusp of a new era in biosensing technology, the possibilities seem boundless. From enhancing agricultural efficiency to safeguarding the environment, the impact of these glowing bacteria could be profound.
What other unexpected applications might emerge as we continue to explore this fascinating intersection of biology and technology?

Drone detected flying near Chinese pavilion at 2025 World Expo
Apr. 13 05:47 am JST
A drone was detected flying near the Chinese pavilion at the World Exposition site in Osaka on Friday, despite a ban on such flights for security reasons, police said, prompting authorities to question its operator.
The operator, believed to be a Chinese man, is suspected of violating an Osaka prefectural ordinance banning drone flights, in principle, within 1 kilometer of the artificial island of Yumeshima on which the expo site is located, according to local police.
The incident on Friday afternoon took place just two days before the global event opens. The ordinance says the ban is in place from Jan 19 to Oct 13, when the expo ends.
The police said it was not known whether the man possessed a permit to fly the drone. The drone did not cause any damage to the pavilion.
The Osaka prefectural police have introduced jamming equipment to prevent illegal drone flights.

Man killed in house explosion
April 13, 2025
A man has died in a house explosion that wrecked multiple properties and led to dozens of evacuations.
Homes in John Street, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, were evacuated and emergency services were called to the scene just before 20:00 BST on Saturday.
Two terraced houses were destroyed in the blast while neighbouring properties were also damaged.
On Sunday, police confirmed the body of a man, in his 50s, had been found in the wreckage.
Nottinghamshire Police said emergency services treated the man but were unable to save him and he died at the scene.
The explosion was declared a major incident by emergency services on Saturday evening.
Everyone else who may have been in the area at the time has been accounted for, police added. An investigation is under way to establish the cause of the explosion.
A total of 35 properties in the area have been evacuated, with 48 residents needing alternative accommodation, said Julie Leigh, leader of Bassetlaw District Council.
She said the council had provided alternative accommodation at the nearby Crown Place Community Centre, while others have been staying with family and friends.
Ch Insp Clive Collings said: "This is an extremely serious incident that has led to a man's untimely death.
"The man's family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
"I have no doubt that this incident will have come as a shock to the community in Worksop."
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) said specialist urban search and rescue teams were called in to search the area after the blast.
Later, demolition workers - including a cherry picker vehicle - attended the scene after midday on Sunday.
Residents, who live near John Street, described "chaos" in the wake of the explosion.
They said they had heard a loud crashing sound which immediately prompted a large number of people to rush out into the street.
One resident told the BBC there was thick black smoke in the street as some people ran towards the wrecked house to try to help.
Bryony Wilkinson, who lives in John Street and was in her house at the time of the explosion, said: "It started off with a really loud bang and afterwards the whole house felt like it was shaking.
"It put me into shock and I froze for five seconds. I could hear a commotion outside and saw the black smoke outside."
On Sunday afternoon, a police spokesperson at the scene told the BBC that firefighters had ended their search operation.
Meanwhile, demolition company Elite Group Demolition said it was waiting for permission to remove a dangerous wall.
A Cadent gas van also passed though the cordon.
Purvi Srikenthan, who runs the Today's Local shop on nearby Sandy Lane, said she had been helping provide free food to families who were staying at the community centre.
The 43-year-old said: "We are here to help local people because we are part of the community.
"There's a lot of families and children affected so we thought we might be able to help them and provide food.
"I only just heard the news that a man has died which is really sad. I feel so sorry for that family and all of the people who are affected."
Crews from fire stations in Warsop, Worksop, Mansfield and Clowne arrived at the scene soon after the explosion.
Andy Wade, 59, says he lives 2.5 miles (4km) away but arrived at the scene because he knew the man who died.
He said he "kept himself to himself most of the time". "I just heard a bang and I thought that's loud," Mr Wade said.
"About 20 minutes later it all started appearing on Facebook and everyone got in touch with me to say there's been an explosion on John Street.
"When the photos started coming through I knew whose house it was. I don't know the circumstances but I'm obviously very upset."

Terrifying new theory of what's behind Tic Tac UFOs that keep rising from ocean in front of US Navy sailors
Updated: 03:31 EDT, 13 April 2025
The UFO expert who released a new video this week showing the infamous tic tac has revealed bombshell theories about the phenomena.
Jeremy Corbell, an investigative journalist and filmmaker known for his work with George Knapp on military-documented unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), has once again ignited public debate over UFOs - this time with newly released footage captured aboard the USS Jackson in 2023.
The video, made public Tuesday after a multi-year verification process, shows what Corbell and military witnesses describe as a 'self-luminous, wingless, tailless' craft rising from the Pacific Ocean.
But Corbell insists the new footage is far from an isolated event. Instead, he says it fits a broader and increasingly alarming pattern: repeated sightings of intelligently controlled craft that defy known aerodynamics, appear regularly in the same offshore military training zone, and may originate from below the ocean's surface.
According to Corbell, the 2023 incident echoes two other major military encounters: the 2004 Nimitz sighting and a lesser-known but well-documented 2019 event in which a swarm of UAPs surrounded ten Navy warships over multiple nights.
The new footage, he argues, is not a standalone revelation but part of a growing body of evidence pointing to intelligently controlled craft - capable of transmedium travel (moving seamlessly through space, air, and water) - that have repeatedly appeared over decades in the same region: Warning Area 291, off the coast of Southern California.
The 2023 release was supported by a new military witness: an active-duty U.S. Navy combat information center (CIC) operator who claims to have seen the object rise from the ocean with his own eyes.
Corbell and Knapp, known for handling sensitive testimonies, vetted the witness and aligned his account with radar data and FLIR imagery.
The Navy veteran tracked the object using the ship's high-powered SAPPHIRE FLIR thermal targeting system. Radar detected four unknown targets in the area, though two were captured on video.
According to the witness, all four UAPs performed an instantaneous, synchronized maneuver - shooting off simultaneously without visible propulsion, suggesting intelligent coordination.
'It's become a working theory among people close to this that there's an underwater base or installation off the California coast,' Corbell said. 'That's the speculation from the sailors themselves.'
He believes the 2004 and 2023 cases may point to ongoing interactions with a concealed presence beneath the ocean - one that remains unacknowledged by authorities and largely unknown to the public.
What the footage shows
The video, which Corbell emphasizes is not from an iPhone but from a weapons-grade military camera system, shows a heat signature in the shape of a smooth, oblong object.
Crucially, it lacks any thermal exhaust or propulsion trails - features that experts would expect from conventional aircraft.
'In the footage, what you don't see is just as important as what you do,' Corbell said.
'No wings, no tail, no flight control surfaces, no heat plumes. You're seeing a perfect 'Tic Tac' - and it came from under the water. This is not a glitch. This is a trained military crew, on one of the Navy's most advanced ships, using the best tech available.'
According to Corbell - and based on testimony from firsthand witnesses - radar tracked four of these craft during the incident. One of them, he says, was 'targeted' in the FLIR footage.
Witnesses reported that the four objects performed an instantaneous, synchronized maneuver - 'shot off all at once', as the navy veteran described - suggesting coordination or communication between the craft.
In 2004, pilots aboard the USS Nimitz strike group tracked what would become one of the most well-known unidentified anomalous phenomena in modern history.
The so-called 'Tic Tac' was observed dropping from over 80,000 feet to sea level in less than a second - without producing a sonic boom and without any detectable propulsion.
The event was corroborated by visual sightings, radar data, and FLIR footage recorded by Lt. Cmdr. Chad Underwood.
What baffled Navy personnel most, according to Corbell, was the object's apparent interaction with the ocean.
1/2
Commander David Fravor, who witnessed the encounter, described the craft as 'communicating' with something beneath the surface.
Whitewater and a circular disturbance were observed at the spot where the object hovered - alongside what witnesses described as a solid, X-shaped object beneath the surface.
He also emphasized that in both cases, the objects appeared to engage in some kind of interaction with the ocean - 'docking' with something unseen under the surface in 2004, and in 2023, possibly emerging from an underwater structure or facility.
In 2019, Corbell released a trove of videos, direct witness testimony, and radar data showing dozens of UAPs swarming ten U.S. Navy vessels over several nights.
The objects hovered, maneuvered unpredictably, and often flew in formation - again, without any visible flight surfaces or conventional propulsion systems.
Weaponization, reverse engineering, and congressional testimony
Beyond publishing footage, Corbell has been instrumental in bringing military whistleblowers - including David Grusch and Cmdr. Fravor - before Congress to testify under oath.
'There are people who've testified under oath that the U.S. government is in possession of non-human intelligence craft,' he said.
'Grusch testified to this in Congress: biologics were recovered at crash sites. That means beings.'
He believes the propulsion systems demonstrated by these craft - likely gravitational- represent an extraordinary leap forward in science and defense.
'These craft likely use gravitational propulsion. If you can master that, it changes everything - energy, defense, transportation,' he said. 'And it's been confirmed under oath: the U.S. is engaged in reverse engineering programs.'
The implications, Corbell warns, are immense.
'It's the biggest secret because the stakes are that high,' Corbell said. 'This is a technological cold war. Whoever masters this propulsion wins everything - economically, militarily, geopolitically.'
'If this was China or Russia and they've leapfrogged our tech, we're screwed. If it's non-human, it's a different kind of problem. Either way, we have to know.'
Why release the video now?
For Corbell, releasing any footage of this nature is a calculated decision - one that requires painstaking verification and close consultation with military and intelligence contacts.
With the 2023 footage, he worked with aviation experts, intelligence sources, and even consulted flight trackers to rule out known commercial or military craft.
'Every time I release something like this, I become a target for misinformation,' he explained.
'There's a responsibility. I inform the Pentagon. I let intelligence agencies know ahead of time. We don't release anything that endangers national security.'
Still, Corbell insists the public deserves transparency - and awareness.
'UFOs are considered a matter above weapons of mass destruction,' he said. 'Why? Because the energy produced by these craft could be weaponized.
'If a craft can drop from space to sea level in a second, it could deploy a payload and vanish. That's strategic surprise, and that's what we have to avoid.'
The bigger question
After years of investigation, Corbell says the deeper question is no longer if these craft are real, but why they're here - and what their presence means.
'I'm confident these aren't from any known technological civilization on Earth. Are they extraterrestrial? Interdimensional? Ultra-terrestrial? I don't know. What I do know is - they are here. And it's time we ask why.'

Eerie light spotted in the sky has Texans, San Antonians talking aliens—again
April 13, 2025
Do we ever think maybe it’s just Victor Wembanyama’s family paying him a visit in the offseason? Has that ever crossed anyone’s mind?
Folks all over Texas were left wondering “What is that?” when looking into the sky on Saturday, April 12, between the hours of 9-10 p.m.
Videos and photos circulating social media have put people into a frenzy, trying to figure out what, or who, is in the sky.
Sightings from Fort Worth to the Rio Grande Valley were reported and one video shared with MySA shows us what happened in real time.
In the video taken by Jossi Stivens in Orla, a bright, white light was seen flying (or gliding) slowly through the night sky, before it looked like it let out a puff of smoke that formed a ring, with the object continuing to fly forward before the light faded away.
And before we could do some digging on the matter, the comment sections and replies to some of the posts were just too good to pass up.
“Saw it and then saw the aliens hit the vape and blow a smoke ring… Try explaining that to the fam…” one commentor said in a post on a post by Hill Country Scanner on Facebook.
More comments flooded in with other suggestions of what it could be from the Starship Enterprise to the Millennium Falcon hitting hyper space (we nerds are united) to a good ol’ UFO.
In another post on Reddit, folks went straight to jokes. “End of days before 1604 and 35 highway project is completed? Figures,” user u/TrippTaco12 said.
“Those were aliens. They saw us, locked their doors, and got outta dodge,” user u/DragonsLoooveTacos said.
Alas, although unconfirmed, the most likely theory is that Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched more Starlink satellites across the sky.
Some digging into the matter from some folks revealed that close to 8 p.m. Saturday night, “Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.”
SpaceX Starlink launches have reportedly been mistaken by casual stargazers as UFOs for years.
The exhaust gases emitted in a plume from the Falcon 9 rocket is known to cause visual phenomenon and is often followed by a line of lights in the sky.
So was it Wemby’s real family or just more coverage for Starlink internet users? We can’t know for sure. But as far as we do know, the speculation always leads to some funny moments on social media.
