Video Shows Iran's New Underground Military Drone Facility
May 09, 2025 at 6:00 AM EDT
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has unveiled a new underground military drone hangar, marking another step in the country's efforts to project its military capabilities.
The reveal was accompanied by a video showing the facility's layout and weaponry.
The announcement coincided with sharp criticism from U.S. lawmakers.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and senior Republicans condemned Iran's role in global conflicts during a Capitol Hill event at which a captured Iranian-made drone was displayed as a symbol of Tehran's reach from Ukraine to the Middle East.
Newsweek has reached out the State Department and Iran's foreign ministry for comment.
Why It Matters
The unveiling of Iran's underground drone facility highlights Tehran's strategy to protect its assets from potential airstrikes and surveillance, particularly from Israel or the United States, as it shifts focus toward asymmetric warfare and enhanced defense infrastructure.
This development coincides with renewed U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, with a fourth round of negotiations set for Sunday.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is preparing for a Middle East trip, including stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, where discussions will likely center on Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional security concerns.
What to Know
The IRGC unveiling showcased the underground base's integration of various missile platforms and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Iranian media highlighted the facility's apparent capacity for autonomous operations and rapid mobilization. Officials stated that the site is fully operational and capable of sustaining independent military campaigns.
Iranian Drone Threat
This demonstration of Iran's expanding military capabilities comes as U.S. lawmakers have voiced increasing concern over Tehran's growing use of drones.
On Thursday, an Iranian-made Shahed 136 drone, captured in Ukraine, was displayed inside Congress during an event organized by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI).
The exhibition highlighted growing concerns in Washington over Iran's global footprint, with UANI CEO and former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mark Wallace calling the drone "the most ubiquitous terror weapon of mass destruction in the world today."
Secret Nuclear Site
Meanwhile on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed recent reports suggesting the existence of a secret nuclear facility in Iran, attributing them to attempts aimed at disrupting upcoming nuclear negotiations with Washington.
Araghchi, posting on X, appeared to reference a report citing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), writing: "Like clockwork, more Very Scary Satellite Images are being circulated as Iran-US indirect nuclear talks are set to resume."
The NCRI is recognized as diplomatic wing of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MeK). It is designated as a terrorist organization by Iran due to its past involvement in violent attacks and was considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. until its delisting in 2012.
What People Are Saying
IRGC Major General Hossein Salami said: "What the Iranian people witness today represents only a fraction of the IRGC Navy's substantial drone capabilities."
Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mark Wallace called Iran's Shahed 136 drone: "The most ubiquitous terror weapon of mass destruction in the world today."
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote: "Like clockwork, more Very Scary Satellite Images are being circulated as Iran-U.S. indirect nuclear talks are set to resume."
What Happens Next
As Iran continues to unveil new military capabilities, Tehran is clearly seeking to strengthen its position ahead of renewed nuclear talks with the U.S., set to resume on May 11 in Oman.
The timing aligns with President Donald Trump's upcoming trip to the Middle East, where Iran's expanding military footprint and nuclear ambitions are expected to dominate the regional security agenda.

Drone strikes hit Port Sudan for sixth straight day: Army source
Updated: 09 May ,2025: 11:06 AM GST
Drone strikes hit Port Sudan for a sixth consecutive day on Friday, an army source said, blaming the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been at war with Sudan’s regular army since April 2023.
“Our air defences intercepted some of the enemy drones which were targeting sites in the city,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Witnesses reported strikes across Port Sudan, the seat of the army-backed government and the country’s main humanitarian aid hub.
The city, long seen as a relative safe haven from the devastating conflict, has come under daily drone attacks since Sunday.
The strikes have damaged several key facilities, including Sudan’s sole international airport, its largest functioning fuel depot, and the city's main power station.
Port Sudan serves as the primary entry point for humanitarian aid into the country.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned the attacks “threaten to increase humanitarian needs and further complicate aid operations,” his spokesman said.
More than two years of fighting between the army and the RSF have killed tens of thousands of people and uprooted 13 million, in what the United Nations describes as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

New pope could be key to UFO disclosure, ex-Vatican adviser says
Updated: May 8, 2025 / 11:15 PM CDT
A former adviser to the Vatican and U.S. Jesuit headquarters believes the newly elected Pope Leo XIV will lead the Catholic Church in disclosing information about extraterrestrial life, potentially transforming humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe.
“I think that he is going to be the disclosure pope,” Daniel Sheehan, an attorney who once served as general counsel to the U.S. Jesuit headquarters in Washington, said Thursday on NewsNation’s “Banfield.”
The church’s revelation will come “in the same way that we are going to have a disclosure of what the American government knows about this in the next handful of years,” Sheehan said.
Sheehan’s comments come as Cardinal Robert Prevost, who holds U.S. and Peruvian citizenship, was elected pope, taking the name Leo XIV.
The choice of name has sparked speculation, as the last Pope Leo established the Vatican Observatory in the late 19th century, cementing the church’s interest in astronomy.
According to Sheehan, President Jimmy Carter tasked him in the 1970s with contacting the Vatican about UFO information after Carter’s own UFO sighting while serving as Georgia’s governor.
Sheehan said Carter sought Vatican files after then-CIA Director George H.W. Bush refused to brief the president-elect on the subject, claiming Carter “had no need to know.”
Sheehan, who now heads the New Paradigm Institute focused on UFO phenomena, said he believes Pope Leo XIV wants “to bring together science and theology to be able to bring the Catholic Church into the 21st century so we can begin to adjust the institutions of our planet to cope with the reality that there’s an extraterrestrial nonhuman civilization.”
When asked whether revelations about alien life would contradict church teachings, Sheehan said it would instead align with deeper theological concepts about human consciousness and capabilities.
He referenced a 2009 Vatican statement acknowledging the likelihood of discovering extraterrestrial life and the need for philosophical and theological discussion about its implications.
“The people that are listening to this program are going to be alive when this disclosure is made, not only by the United States government, but by the Vatican and by the leaders of the Jewish faith, and in the Hebrew, the Hindu faith, the Buddhist faith,” Sheehan said.
He also addressed congressional testimony by former intelligence official David Grusch about alleged U.S. government retrieval of “nonhuman” craft and bodies, saying over 40 classified experts have provided similar testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Sheehan will participate in a hearing next week with the chair of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.

I Was A Private Contractor for Various DoD Agencies - I am Speaking Now Because This Sh*t Has Gone too Far Off the Deep-End. I Will Provide (Some) Evidence
May 7, 2025
I really did not want to write this. However after careful discussion with colleagues, I am going to go with what my gut tells I should do. I cannot sit on the sidelines while I observe the UAP field / narrative get filled with half-truths and obfuscations.
In this post, I will be providing evidence of documents that cannot be FOIA’d. I’ll even give my perspective on Anti-Gravity and the overall landscape of the current UAP field when it comes to intelligence agents that are masquerading as “truthers”.
What I speak on is based on my own experiences and observations from being in the field for almost four decades.
I have a degree in electrical engineering from a college somewhere in the South of the USA.
I will not say the name of the school because it will be very easy for people inside DoD to track me down if I give away too much considering not many were recruited from the college that I graduated from.
I was recruited shortly out of college to work in black operations, specifically on the electrical engineering microelectronics & pulsed power side.
These black programs do not necessarily care about your academic credentials as much as they are about two things: Can you think outside of the box, and can you shut the f*ck up about it.
I do not know everything, but the things I am sure of, I will write about here. Why am I doing this now?
Because I was given 8 months to live and I will do what I can while alive to try and make a positive impact in the community.
I sometimes cannot sleep seeing some of the blatant lies being fed to the community.
Let me put this bluntly before I get into the anti gravity and tech:
Jay Stratton and Lue Elizondo are one of the reasons that various inventors’ ZPE (zero point energy) devices have never seen the light of day.
They have been personally responsible for destroying careers, families, and the mental well-being of various physicists and engineers over many decades.
Lue used to be a counter intel agent for more than one WUSAP (Waived Unacknowledged Special Access Program) and did NOT get involved in the subject “by chance”. He and Stratton were involved long before the whole AATIP/AAWSAP saga.
Lue is not a bad person at heart, but it makes you wonder WHY he has done what he’s done in order to destroy others.
I know many of you may judge this statement and think that I am defending him, but there ARE many good things that he has done in this field as well that many people likely will never know about.
With that said, he is definitely compromised in terms of putting USA NAT SEC above all else, and that is a concern at this point.
It is a concern because the DoD has long been infiltrated with war-mongers and profiteering cranks that want to keep all of this tech and knowledge silent for the sake of their own self-preservation.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first, but this is getting to the point of blatant stupidity. To a very small extent, I don’t blame them.
However, to hide this from humanity is becoming more of a curse than anything else. People have the right to know.
Jay Stratton, however, is a real scummy person. Don’t get me started on the shit that guy has done to some of my colleagues. I have zero sympathy for that man.
Sean Kirkpatrick is a pawn. He lies through his teeth like Ron Pandolfi has and does. To add, please do not ask me about Jack Sarfatti. He is considered a laughing stock to those involved in various programs.
Also, there are just over 2000 Legacy Programs working on reverse-engineering UAP. Hal Puthoff recently said on Joe Rogan that we have “more than ten” recovered craft in the USA. The number is in the hundreds. At a minimum.
Jeremy Corbell is a useful idiot in many cases. Some of what he releases is accurate, but when he says that us humans “cannot replicate or understand any propulsion systems” that craft use, or whatever nonsense he spews, is a blatant lie.
I doubt he actually knows the truth to be fair so I do not believe that he is deliberately lying.
1/2
Dave Grusch, Jake Barber, Mike Herrera are the real deal. I respect them and their efforts.
Let me say now: please do not ask me about Immaculate Constellation because I know nothing of any of those alleged specified programs.
I am an electrical engineer, not a spy. However, being in this field, you pick up tradecraft methods and learn how to ‘run with the wolves’ so to speak.
Human beings, through both novel innovation and also through reverse-engineering (not mutually exclusive), have mastered anti-gravity to a certain degree.
When I say “certain degree”, I mean operational craft that can leave our solar system. It sounds nuts, but it is the truth. Some have succeeded by means of pure human ingenuity, and others did it with access to recovered UAP materials.
This level of mastery exceeds ANYTHING that even our most traditionally “secret” .MIL programs have. Booze Allen, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, MITRE Corp, Raytheon, Boeing, etc all have their own versions of various anti gravity technologies.
There is a difference between gravitational shielding/repulsion and actually generating HFGW (High Frequency Gravitational Waves).
The pursuit of Tomas Townsend Brown is exactly where people should be looking. Zero Point Energy manipulation has to do with the EM Vector Potential. That is as far as I will go on that.
I was involved in a project that utilized Tesla Turbines, Plasma Toroid chambers, Microwaves, Crystals, extremely strong Rotating Magnets, and various other obtainable components that generated many kilowatts of gravitational waves (or “gravitons” as some call it) in a private BaE Lab. The total cost of the project was just under 3 million USD to build the gravity generator. It can and has been done time and time again, successfully. Gravitational waves are measured electromagnetically due to it being a consequence of the curvature of spacetime itself.
Meta Materials are not needed to generate macroscopic proof of concept gravitational phenomena. Plain and simple.
You will notice in some of the files I am showing that the Soviets coined a term called “rotational gravitation” and believed that rotating masses acted as emitters and receivers of gravitational waves.
I am not going to argue with those in the comments that say this isn’t possible, & I’m not going to argue with idiots that don’t know how to think outside of the box.
My question is this: If the soviets thought it to be worthy of experimental investigation, then why is that not being done here?!! Oh wait, it is, it’s just going to stay forever classified. FOREVER.
Ask Jay Stratton why he prevented multiple inventors from getting their own laboratory. Because many of the inventors he suppressed focused on rotating capacitors, something the Soviets pursued very quickly.
I’m sure his million-dollar book deal helped smooth over all the people he royally f*cked.
My beef is that we are classifying basic science that our adversaries are now discussing in more open forums and in peer-reviewed literature. It’s bullshit. All for what? So that Lockheed can make science breakthroughs proprietary and OWN it?
The closest I have seen anyone in the public domain get close to describing how the technology works is Lt. Col. Tom Bearden, and a few others.
The tough part of all this is taking the theory and applying it to a practical experiment. Not many can bridge that divide, but a small, genius chunk of engineers (and some theoretical physicists) have.
You want to know who a REAL, high-level “gatekeeper” of this suff is? Admiral John Micheal “Mike” McConnell. He currently works at Booze Allen, or at least that was the last I had heard of his whereabouts.
I realize now that being given limited time on this planet makes you think about what should REALLY matter. I want the next generation to have a chance.
PS, the Tic Tac is ours (humans). I worked on certain aspects of it personally.

Scientists studying spherical UFO say they've discovered alien technology
Updated: 03:11 EDT, 8 May 2025
Scientists have released the first X-ray images of a mysterious, sphere-shaped object recovered in Colombia, which locals claim is of alien origin.
The so-called 'UFO' was spotted in March over the town of Buga, zig-zagging through the sky in a way that defies the movement of conventional aircraft.
The object was recovered shortly after it landed and has since been analyzed by scientists, who discovered it features three layers of metal-like material and 18 microspheres surrounding a central nucleus they are calling 'a chip.'
Dr Jose Luis Velazquez, a radiologist who examined the sphere, reported finding 'no welds or joints,' which would typically indicate human fabrication.
He and his team concluded: 'It is of artificial origin, in that it shows no evidence of welding, and its internal structure is composed of high-density elements. More testing is needed to establish its origin.'
The sphere also displays symbols that the team compared to ancient scripts, including runes, Ogham and Mesopotamian writing systems.
Using AI to assist in deciphering the design, the team interpreted the message to read: 'The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness—individual consciousness.'
'We interpret it as a message to humanity, encouraging a collective shift in consciousness to help Mother Earth—especially considering the current issues with pollution and environmental decline,' the researchers said.
The object was recovered on March 2 by a group of people, who said it weighed about four and a half pounds and had 'the temperature of a refrigerator' when touched.
David Velez el Potro, one of the individuals who recovered the object, recently spoke on Maussan Television hosted by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, whose research has stirred controversy for nearly a decade.
Maussan gained attention in 2017 when he claimed to have discovered alien mummies in Peru—findings that remain unconfirmed.
But Velez el Potro has claimed that the sphere is authentic, found in the woods of Buga.
He told Maussan that the man who found it, Jose, felt sick for days after touching the object.
'When I poured water on it, it started to smoke and the water vaporized instantly,' Velez el Potro added, suggesting the interior was hot and exterior cold.
However, there are no official reports or or scientific analysis to confirm claims of a sphere falling over Buga. Only eyewitness reports.
Velez el Potro said the government contacted him to hand it over the sphere, but he refused, saying, 'It would never be seen again.'
So he gave it to Maussan and his team of experts with hopes of them uncovering the sphere's origin.
Researchers found that the sphere had irregular edges, 'indicating that it is a solid object.'
The outer layer appeared to be the densest—comparable to human bone.
'The center of the sphere shows a lower radio-acoustic density than the edge, indicating an internal structure that may be more porous or composed of less dense material than the outer shell,' said Nacho Rojo, host of the YouTube channel Hidden Truth, during the interview with Maussan.
The findings suggest that the outer layer could be made of titanium or steel, but researchers noted that a full composition analysis is needed to confirm this.
X-rays also revealed 18 small dots within the center of the object, arranged in what appeared to be a non-random pattern.
The team speculated that the 18 points could be sensors, bolts or fragments of microspheres.
'Obviously, we don't know the composition or how it was manufactured, but it appears to be an object intentionally built to house these small metallic components internally,' Rojo said, referring to insights shared during the X-ray analysis.
Scientists are currently referring to the 18 points as 'a chip' due to their precise arrangement and location within the sphere.
'The symmetry suggests advanced technology or deliberate engineering,' Rojo added. He also noted, 'These 18 points show no signs of fracture, meaning the object remains structurally intact.'
X-rays revealed that the points extend approximately 0.5 centimeters into the interior of the sphere.
Additionally, the team observed a central band composed of a different material, which contained more small spheres. They believe these may have been placed inside before the object was sealed.
However, the X-rays did not reveal any visible signs of assembly techniques.

Rep. Nancy Mace on UAP whistleblower Matthew Brown's claims: "been traveling so haven’t had a chance to look”
May 08, 2025
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) — Oversight and Armed Services Committees
Ask a Pol asks Mace:
I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but on social media folks are saying, ‘Mace and all them are lying’ — about the last time you had a hearing, the Immaculate Constellation program because there’s a new whistleblower Matthew Brown…?
Key Mace:
“I think I saw a clip of that. I haven't had a chance, I was like in 11 Cities over recess traveling,” Mace exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “Lying about what?”
Caught our ear:
“I did see, there was a video and I got part of a clip,” Mace tells us. “But I've been traveling so haven’t had a chance to look at it or get briefed on it.”

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) — Co-chair, Congressional UAP Caucus; Member, Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets
Ask a Pol asks:
Folks online are saying that y'all on the Congressional UAP Caucus knew about Immaculate Constellation more than y'all let on in last November’s public UAP hearing?
Key Burchett:
“I didn't,” Rep. Tim Burchett exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “I talked about it — what was made public — but just shortly before.”
If it was classified, y'all wouldn't be able to talk about it?
“Correct,” Burchett says.
And it's still classified, right?
“I don't know,” Burchett says. “What I was told was definitely not classified.”
Caught our ear:

"There's a problem," warns Ranking Democrat after hearing on UAPs over military bases
May 09, 2025
Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) — Ranking Member, Oversight Subcommittee on Military & Foreign Affairs
Ask a Pol asks:
Do you think you guys might need to provide the Pentagon a statutory answer so they know whether they have the authority to shoot these UAP — or ‘drones’ or ‘UAS’ (Unmanned Aircraft System)* — down on US soil?
*on Capitol Hill ‘drone’ is often used interchangeably with ‘UAP’ and ‘UAS’
Key Subramanyam:
“Yeah,” Rep. Suhas Subramanyam exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “I want to work with the rest of the committee on trying to push some legislation. One is also trying to expand the definition of covered entities so that more installations have the ability to defend themselves, trying to make sure that people are very clear on when and how they can respond and trying to make sure that, generally, the people and installations have the technology and tools to defend themselves when they know UAS is coming.”
Was craft recovered during 17 day Langley swarms?
You’ve been briefed on it but haven’t seen it?
“I haven't seen it myself, no,” Subramanyam says.
Have you guys requested to see it?
“Oh, no,” Subramanyam says. “Not yet.”
New bipartisan bill in works…?
”I had actually asked [Chair William Timmons] during the hearing, like, kind of privately, if he's willing to work together.
He said, ‘Yes,’” Subramanyam says. “So very much so, I think there's going to be consensus around trying to do something. It’s just what we do.”
Caught our ear:
“I haven't seen significant change the first 100 days, but I'm hopeful that we can push for significant changes moving forward,” Subramanyam tells us of transparency — or the lack there of — in the Trump administration. “It's important.”
