Key Russian oil refinery halts largest unit after drone attack, Reuters reports
Mon, October 06, 2025 - 19:45
The Kirishi oil refinery in Russia's Leningrad region has shut down its largest unit following a drone attack, Reuters reports.
Sources told the agency that Kirishi, one of the key refineries in Russia, stopped its most productive crude distillation unit, CDU-6, after a drone attack and a subsequent fire on Saturday, October 4.
Reuters notes that it will take about a month to restore the unit's operation. The unit has a capacity of 8 million metric tons per year, or 160,000 barrels per day—about 40% of the refinery’s total processing capacity.
The Kirishi refinery's total capacity is 20.1 million tons of crude oil per year. The plant produces gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and other petroleum products.
Its shutdown could lead to a drop in fuel production amid a fuel shortage in Russia. Russia is struggling with shortages of some popular types of gasoline due to repeated attacks by Ukrainian drones.
Attacks on Kirishi refinery
On the night of Saturday, October 4, the Kirishi oil refinery was hit by Ukraine's Special Operations Forces along with the Russian rebel movement.
Earlier, on the night of September 14, drones also attacked the Kirishi refinery. The Drone Forces reported that the strike caused a large fire. After this strike, it significantly reduced oil processing.
Previously, the refinery was attacked on the night of March 8, when debris from a downed drone damaged the exterior of one of the storage tanks.

Drones target multiple military and industrial facilities across Russia
06.10.2025 12:02
On the night of October 6, drones struck several military-industrial facilities in Russia. According to Ukrinform, the ASTRA Telegram channel reported this.
In Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region, drones targeted the Sverdlov Explosives Plant.
“Overnight, air defense forces repelled an attack by 20 drones in the industrial zone of Dzerzhinsk. According to preliminary reports, debris caused injuries to one person.
There is no life-threatening danger, and the injured is receiving all necessary medical assistance,” said Gleb Nikitin, governor of Nizhny Novgorod region.
He added that falling debris had also caused several small fires in the private sector, which had been extinguished.
Additionally, drones attacked the Klintsy Thermal Power Plant in Bryansk region overnight on October 6.
In Krasnodar krai, two people were injured due to drone attacks.
“In the Tuapsinsky municipal district, drone debris fell on the territory of the Tuapse Oil Refinery, causing a fire in a security building, which was promptly extinguished.
Two people were injured and hospitalized,” the operational headquarters of Krasnodar krai reported.
Local residents also reported a fire at an oil refinery in Feodosia, in temporarily occupied Crimea, following drone strikes.
Overall, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that its air defenses had shot down 251 Ukrainian drones that night.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, several airports in Russia temporarily suspended operations overnight on October 6.

Medvedev: Europeans should ‘crap themselves with fear’ over drones
Monday October 06 2025, 2.45pm BST
One of President Putin’s senior allies has admitted that Russia could be responsible for a wave of drones at European airports and military bases that he said had caused people in Nato countries to “crap themselves with fear”.
Dmitry Medvedev, a former president and prime minister who is now deputy head of Russia’s national security council, stopped just short of saying that Moscow was behind the drone scares.
However, he said they were to be welcomed as they had brought home the “danger of war” to Europeans.
Mysterious drones have been spotted at airports, military installations and critical infrastructure in the Nato member states of Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Norway, Lithuania and Sweden since Nato fighter jets shot down Russian drones inside Poland last month.
Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, said on Sunday that he assumed Russia was behind most of the drones.
Listing five possible explanations for the “epidemic” of sightings, Medvedev said the drones may have been launched by Russia, by Ukrainian forces, undercover Kremlin agents in Europe, local troublemakers or by European security services as a test of anti-drone defences.
“The causes of this panic around ‘Russian drones’ could be any of the listed reasons or a combination of them,” Medvedev wrote. “[But] that’s not the main thing.
The main thing is that the shortsighted Europeans should feel on their own skin what the danger of war is. So that they fear and tremble like stupid animals in a herd being driven to the slaughter. So that they crap themselves with fear.”
Medvedev tried to play down the possibility that pro-Russian “agents and moles” were responsible, saying that they were waiting for a “separate command” before going into action. He did not give details.
He also said he hoped that concerns about the drones would cause people in France and Germany to “tear the heads off” Merz and President Macron for their military support of Ukraine.
However, Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman said after Medvedev’s post that Russia had nothing to do with the drone sightings.
“There are many politicians in Europe who are now inclined to blame Russia for everything. They do so unreasonably, indiscriminately,” he said. “There is no reason to blame Russia for this.”
His comments came after Putin had laughed off claims that Russia was behind the drone sightings. “I won’t send any more.
Not to France, not to Denmark, and not to Copenhagen,” he said when asked about the incidents at a forum in Sochi, the Black Sea resort city, last week.
Analysts noted that Putin also initially sought to deny that the troops who seized Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 were Russian soldiers.
Instead, he said the soldiers were local self-defence forces who had purchased military uniforms that made them look like Russian troops. He later admitted that Russia had deployed the soldiers.
Western leaders have warned that Russia could be planning to attack a Nato member state in the next few years.
Although Putin has denied the allegation, he has also said that western military support for Ukraine means that the West is already “at war” with Russia.
Once known as a relative liberal, Medvedev has transformed into one of Moscow’s biggest hawks since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
However, despite his role as second-in-command in Russia’s powerful security council, he holds no real power.
He will visit North Korea this week as the head of a Russian delegation from Putin’s ruling United Russia party.

Over 100,000 Western-made parts found in drones, missiles used in Russian recent mass attack, Zelensky says
October 6, 2025 6:28 pm
More than 100,000 Western-made components were discovered in drones and missiles launched by Russia against Ukraine overnight on Oct. 5, President Volodymyr Zelensky said a day after.
This revelation highlights the continued presence of Western technology in Moscow's weapons, despite years of sanctions.
Russian troops launched around 500 drones and more than 50 missiles in a large-scale attack on Ukraine, targeting settlements across the country, including those far from the front lines in the west.
The strike killed at least six people, including an entire family of four, and left 18 others injured.
According to Zelensky, the attack drones contained 100,688 foreign-made components. Around 1,500 were found in Iskander missiles, 192 in Kinzhal ballistic missiles, and 405 in Kalibr cruise missiles.
These components were reportedly manufactured by companies based in the U.S., China, Taiwan, the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, and the Netherlands.
Ukraine's partners already have detailed information on every company and every product involved, Zelensky said. He added that Kyiv is also working on new sanctions targeting individuals and entities aiding Russia.
"It is crucial to shut down every scheme that circumvents sanctions, because Russia uses each one to keep killing. The world has the power to stop this," Zelensky said.
While Western countries have banned the export of many dual-use components to Russia, Moscow has adapted to sanctions by relying on smuggling networks and other schemes to obtain restricted goods.
Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the Ukrainian president’s commissioner for sanctions, previously said that most foreign parts found in Russian weapons used on the battlefield in Ukraine originate from China.

Exclusive: Europe believes Russia behind mysterious drone sightings but 'can't prove it,' Dutch PM says
October 6, 2025 6:59 pm
Europe believes Russia is behind a spate of mysterious drone sightings across the continent but "can't prove it," Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof told the Kyiv Independent on Oct. 6.
Speaking during a visit to Kyiv, Schoof was asked if there was a consensus among European countries about who was responsible.
"Yes of course," he said, adding: "Unfortunately, we cannot prove who is behind it, but there's a lot of thinking that maybe it's the Russians, but we cannot prove it."
Over the last few weeks, drones have violated the airspace of at least eight European countries — Denmark, Lithuania, Finland, Estonia, Romania, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Several airports including the Netherlands' Schiphol Airport have been forced to temporarily halt flights. At Germany's Munich Airport on Oct. 2, when drone sightings grounded 17 flights and affected nearly 3,000 passengers.
Drones have also been sighted over military bases and energy infrastructure including the Karup Air Base in Denmark, and a power plant in Finland.
"I hope that one day we can prove either it's the Russians or it's something else," Schoof said, adding:
"But it is really worrying that they are now around our infrastructure, around our airports, and I think we have to step up our security in that respect."
The wave of sightings has raised concerns amid heightened tensions between Moscow and NATO following a series of Russian airspace violations.
Speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, Russia, on Oct. 2, President Vladimir Putin mocked European concern over drone sightings.
When asked by a moderator, "Why have you sent so many drones to Denmark?” Putin laughed and replied, "I won’t do it anymore."
He denied Russian involvement in recent drone activity and likened the sightings to UFO reports.
In September, Polish forces shot down several Russian drones that entered their airspace. Days later, a Russian drone breached Romanian territory, though Bucharest chose not to engage it.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sept. 28 that intelligence reports indicate Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" of oil tankers is being used to "launch and control" Russian drones over European cities.
German outlet Spiegel reported on Oct. 2 that investigators are examining potential links between the unidentified drones spotted over northern Germany.

Gaza ceasefire talks will last 'several days, if not more,' says senior official
October 6, 2025 03:23
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas on a potential ceasefire and hostage deal began Monday in Sharm el-Sheikh, with a senior official predicting that the first round will last several days as both sides work to finalize a comprehensive agreement.
The talks come one week after U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his plan to end the war in Gaza.
Under the proposal, Hamas terrorists would release all 48 hostages they are holding in exchange for 250 Palestinian security prisoners and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
“The negotiations will last at least several days, if not longer,” said a senior official familiar with the discussions, speaking with Reuters. The official said the objective is to reach a full and detailed accord before implementing a ceasefire, not a temporary or partial truce.
The Israeli delegation includes Deputy Shin Bet chief “M,” the government’s coordinator for hostages and missing persons Gal Hirsch, retired Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon, the prime minister’s political adviser Ophir Falk, and representatives from the Mossad and the Israel Defense Forces.
The team is scheduled to arrive in Sharm el-Sheikh later Monday, with formal talks expected to begin at 4 p.m.
Later this week, Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff are expected to join the discussions.
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who leads Israel’s negotiating team, is set to join the talks around the same time, depending on developments. Egypt and Qatar are serving as mediators.
The Hamas delegation, led by senior terrorist and chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, arrived in Egypt on Sunday night. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed cautious optimism before the negotiations, saying, “I hope we can finish this the simple way.”
A senior Israeli official said a quick agreement is unlikely because both sides are seeking to finalize every element of the deal before implementation begins.
“Hamas and Israel have agreed on the basic framework of Trump’s 20-point plan,” the official said. “The next stages of the talks are meant to address the specific details, which in the past required a long process.”
In earlier attempts to reach an agreement, mediators tried to establish an initial phase and postpone later stages, which led to the collapse of past talks.
This time, according to officials, mediators will attempt to close gaps between Israel and Hamas across a range of disputed issues, including the pace of the IDF withdrawal from Gaza and the transition of governance from Hamas to an international force.
A senior Palestinian official told the Saudi-based Al-Hadath network that Hamas is insisting on the release of six prominent prisoners, including Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Secretary-General Ahmad Sa’adat.
Hamas is also demanding the return of displaced residents to the Gaza Strip and plans to coordinate the transfer of hostages with other factions.

IDF says it eliminated several 'terrorist cells' in Gaza City
October 6, 2025
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated on Monday that its troops eliminated several Hamas squads operating in Gaza City, amid a pause in offensive military activity as part of the ongoing efforts toward a possible ceasefire.
In a post on X, the Israeli military shared that its fighter jets yesterday "attacked and eliminated a terrorist cell armed with explosives and mortars," as the squad was "planning to carry out terrorist attacks against IDF forces operating in the Gaza City area."
Furthermore, the IDF claimed that the second squad was eliminated after one of the operatives targeted the Israeli troops with a bomb, and the third one after firing an anti-tank missile.

White House avoids setting deadline for Gaza talks, but says it wants deal ‘quickly’

White House avoids setting deadline for Gaza talks, but says it wants deal ‘quickly’
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt avoids giving a deadline for the indirect talks that commenced today in Egypt between Israel and Hamas aimed at reaching an agreement on US President Donald Trump’s proposal for ending the war in Gaza.
“There are technical talks happening right now in Egypt among Special Envoy Witkoff and Mr. [Jared] Kushner as well as respective parties from all sides,” Leavitt says during a press briefing.
An Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel, though, that while Witkoff and Kushner are in Egypt, they will only be personally joining the negotiations when they are ready to be finalized.
Today’s first day of the talks is mainly for allowing the sides to lay out their positions and for mediators to identify what the remaining gaps are and how to close them, the diplomat says.
Leavitt notes that “All sides of this conflict [already] agree that this war needs to end and agree to the 20-point framework that President Trump proposed.”
“The administration is working very hard to move the ball forward as quickly as we can. The president wants to see a ceasefire. He wants to see the hostages released.”
“The technical teams are discussing that as we speak to ensure that the environment is perfect to release the hostages.”
“They’re going over the list of both the Israeli hostages and also the political prisoners who will be released,” she says, in what appears to be the first time that a Trump official has referred to Palestinian security prisoners as such.
However, it seems more likely a slip of the tongue, rather than a new policy decision.
Pressed on whether the October 5 deadline that Trump set for Hamas to respond to his Gaza proposal is still in effect, Leavitt notes that Hamas already, on Friday, “put out a very clear statement in the president’s view that they accept the president’s framework, and that’s why those technical talks are underway.”
Pressed on a timeline for how long talks in Egypt will last, Leavitt avoids getting specific.
“It’s important that we get this done quickly so that we can get some momentum, get the hostages out, and then move to the next part of this, which is ensuring that we can create a lasting, durable peace in Gaza and ensure that Gaza is no longer a place that threatens the security of Israel or the United States,” she says, apparently splitting Trump’s Gaza proposal into two — with the first part being the release of the hostages and the second part being the post-war management of Gaza.
Claiming that the Palestinian population is “radicalized,” a reporter asks Leavitt to identify the Palestinians that the US wants to serve on the transitional government of Palestinian technocrats that will administer Gaza after the war.
“We’re not quite there yet,” Leavitt responds, explaining that Trump believes peace is possible, which is why he presented his 20-point plan for ending the war last week.
“What you need to have peace in a region like Gaza that has been war-torn for far too long, [is] security guarantees and good governance, so those will be two of the main priorities that this administration is focused on,” she adds.

Fire in the Sky
Chaos After Several Drones Catch Fire During Chinese Light Show, Sparks Fall On Crowd
Oct 06, 2025 13:51 pm IST
A drone and fireworks show in China's Liuyang city went terribly wrong when dozens of drones malfunctioned mid-air, triggering a fire that sent crowds scrambling for safety.
The incident happened on October 2 during the "October: The Sound of Blooming Flowers" show at the Sky Theatre, which was meant to create a stunning 3D visual spectacle over land and water.
However, technical issues caused the drones to fall, erupt in flames, and spark panic among the audience.
Videos circulating on social media showed people using chairs as makeshift umbrellas to shield themselves from falling sparks, while others ran for cover as flaming fragments rained down from the sky. Officials confirmed that no injuries occurred during the incident.
Authorities quickly responded to the emergency, setting up a one-mile evacuation zone and deploying additional firefighting units as a precaution.
The incident has sparked discussions about safety measures during large-scale pyrotechnic displays. The Liuyang Bureau of Culture and Tourism representatives suggested that the dry weather may have contributed to the incident, Gulf News reported.
Liuyang is famous for its grand pyrotechnic displays, attracting massive crowds throughout the year. In January, over 160,000 visitors flocked to the city for New Year's celebrations.

Lockheed Martin Sikorsky Introduces Nomad™ Family of Long-Endurance, Runway-Independent Drones
Oct. 6, 2025
– Less than a year after proving the flight efficiency and reliability of a novel rotor blown wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS), Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company (NYSE: LMT) is unveiling its Nomad™ future family of aircraft.
he twin proprotor design combines the versatility of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing airplane.
A Nomad aircraft can take off, hover, and land vertically, plus cruise on the wing for extended periods.
Nomads are operated via Sikorsky’s MATRIX™ autonomy technology and predominantly use hybrid-electric propulsion, while larger variants will feature a conventional drivetrain.
“We use the term ‘family’ to point to a key attribute of the design; its ability to be scaled in size from a small Group 3 UAS to the footprint equivalent of a Black Hawk helicopter,” said Rich Benton, Sikorsky vice president and general manager.
“The resulting Nomad family of drones will be adaptable, go-anywhere, runway independent aircraft capable of land and sea-based missions across defense, national security, forestry and civilian organizations. Nomads are a force multiplier, complementing the missions of aircraft such as the Black Hawk to retain the strategic advantage in the Indo-Pacific and across broader regions.”
Sikorsky announced in March 2025 the successful extended flight test of its 10.3-ft wingspan prototype Nomad 50 aircraft. Today, Sikorsky is building its Nomad 100 aircraft.
This is a Group 3, 18-ft wingspan variant with first flight expected in the coming months.
Nomad VTOL UAS
-
Nomad UAS are designed for reconnaissance, light attack, contested logistics and more.
-
The Nomad family can be scaled from a Group 3 UAS (56 pounds to 1,320 pounds) to Group 4/5 (1,320 pounds and up).The Nomad family is powered by fuel-efficient hybrid-electric drivetrains, with larger variants featuring a conventional drivetrain.
-
MATRIX technology, developed by Sikorsky Innovations and DARPA, is an open system, which allows seamless integration with rotary and fixed-wing aircraft.
MATRIX has already been demonstrated across a range of applications, including aerial firefighting, logistics resupply, and advanced aerial mobility.
“Nomad represents new breakthroughs for Sikorsky and the next generation of autonomous, long-endurance drones,” said Dan Shidler, director of Advanced Programs.
“We are acting on feedback from the Pentagon, adopting a rapid approach and creating a family of drones that can take off and land virtually anywhere and execute the mission – all autonomously and in the hands of Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen.”

Flight Ops Temporarily Suspended At Imphal Airport After Drone Sighting
Oct 06, 2025 19:22 pm IST
Imphal:
Flight operations were temporarily suspended at the International airport in Imphal in Manipur, on Monday afternoon after a drone was sighted, raising security concerns, officials said.
A senior official of the Airport Authority of India (AAI) said that an IndiGo flight from Agartala to Imphal reported the sighting of a drone on its final approach path from the city side, at an altitude between 3,600 and 4,000 feet.
"In view of the report, flight operations at Imphal International Airport were temporarily suspended as a precautionary safety measure. Normal operations resumed only after the incident was promptly reported to Manipur Police and necessary security clearance was obtained from Manipur Police," the official said.
The AAI official said that the public is strictly advised not to operate drones in and around the airport vicinity, including Imphal City (East and West), Nambol, and Bishnupur areas.
Unauthorised drone operations pose a serious risk to aircraft safety, may lead to the temporary closure of the airport, and cause significant inconvenience to passengers, he said.
The AAI official cautioned that any violation of drone operation regulations will invite strict legal action in accordance with applicable laws.
Ensuring the safety and security of passengers and aircraft operations remains our highest priority, he added.
Located 6 km from the capital city (Imphal), Bir Tikendrajit International Airport in Imphal (Manipur) operates flights connecting Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati, Agartala and other cities of the country.
Imphal West district Superintendent of Police Shivakanta Singh, while urging people not to fly drones in areas adjacent to the airport, said, "If anyone is found flying a drone between Sanjenthong and Kwakeithel, please inform the police immediately so that it can be brought down. It is affecting flight movement."
He cautioned that violations of drone regulations will invite strict legal action under the law. Last year, Assam Rifles had deployed anti-drone systems in the fringe areas of Imphal Valley in Manipur to repel any "rogue drones".
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), which is deployed in Manipur in large numbers due to the ethnic violence, has also tested an anti-drone system and "given it to the force deployed in the state".

Oslo Airport flights disrupted by new drone sightings
Updated: Mon 6 Oct 2025 14:24 CET
Flights at Oslo Airport were disrupted after pilots reported suspected drones in the early hours of Monday.
Several flights were delayed at Oslo’s main airport Gardermoen although the incident did not result in diversions, as was the case in a similar incident involving drone sightings at the airport last month.
“We received a report at 12:16am when a pilot from the airline Norwegian suspected seeing drones during the approach to the airport,” the regional police district lead officer Gisle Sveen told news agency NTB.
The observation has not been verified. Police are speaking to the aircraft’s crew, he said. Up to 3-5 drones may have been observed but this remains unconfirmed, he added.
“Regardless, we have to take this seriously,” he said. "The status at the moment is that we are at the investigation stage to clarify what was observed," he told broadcaster NRK.
Passengers who contacted NRK said that their flight had circled the area around Gardermoen because of the reported drone observations.
Normal service resumed at the airport from 1:30am on Monday, the police and Oslo Airport's operator Avinor said.
Repeated flights have disrupted airports in Denmark and Germany as well as Norway over the last two weeks. The source of the drones remains unknown.
Drones have also been spotted in several other locations across Norway in recent weeks, including Ørland Air Station, Brønnøysund Airport, and the Sleipner oil platform in the North Sea.

Missouri Witness Reports 3 UFOs Flying Low Over Lake Wappapello
October 6, 2025
I have a pretty good instinct that tells me if someone is telling the truth or not.
I sense that a story just shared from near Lake Wappapello in Missouri is legit as a camp director swears to have seen 3 lights moving strangely over the lake and I believe they sincerely believe what they're saying.
This is the beautiful Lake Wappapello State Park area in Missouri located northeast of Poplar Bluff
According to the National UFO Reporting Center, an eyewitness saw something odd over Lake Wappapello in Missouri around 9pm the night of October 2, 2025. Here's a snippet of their exact words explaining what they saw:
"I was sitting on a dock on the Northern shore of Lake Wappapello from about 8:45-10:00pm on Thursday, Oct 2, 2025.
I was looking at the sky because I was making a star map for a camp I am running this weekend and wanted to ensure it was accurate.
While working on the Western sky portion, I observed a yellow/gold circular light rise above the tree-line to the Northwest of the lake."
It was then that they saw what they thought was a low-flying craft, but then it began to dart left and right quickly before returning to its original spot.
"This happened again 3 times over the course of an hour, however on the last time I observed 3 objects—one that appeared like the original and then two that flew in a similar pattern Northwest of the object."
The report says the object zoomed off and disappeared in a matter of seconds leaving them clueless as to what they had witnessed. They also realize their story sounds beyond belief.
"I feel like I sound crazy and I am afraid no one will believe me, but I am really confused about what it was I was seeing. I’m a camp director and have spent so many nights outside stargazing but have never seen something like this."
It's very important to note that this person reported the sighting within a couple hours of experiencing what they saw. Any detective will tell you that the most reliable testimony is that which is captured as close to the event as possible.
I also believe that a camp director like this person is would know what's normal in a night sky and what is not. It begs the question what are these strange objects that are more frequently being seen over Missouri and what are their intentions?

‘Alien’ DNA found inside humans — it was inserted into our genes, bonkers new study claims
Published Oct. 6, 2025, 10:39 a.m. ET
Is it the invasion of the genome snatchers?
Just in case the idea of aliens walking around in human skin suits wasn’t frightening enough. An outlandish study asserts that aliens might have abducted us and inserted genes into human DNA, with the fallout affecting potentially millions of people.
“Humanity may be undergoing genetic transformation,” lead researcher Dr. Max Rempel, the founder and CEO of the DNA Resonance Research Foundation, told the Daily Mail of the study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed.
Rempel came to this far-fetched-seeming conclusion by analyzing DNA from both regular people and those who have claimed to have been abducted by aliens.
This comes following a spike in UFO sightings over the last year, making many fear that we are on the verge of some not-so-friendly close encounters.
The scientist specifically analyzed 581 complete families from the 1,000 Genomes Project, discovering ‘large sequences’ of DNA in 11 families that didn’t appear to correspond to either family.
These genetic aberrations entailed a bundle of 348 non-parental genetic variants. As the subjects were born before 1990, this ruled out human gene-editing technologies like CRISPR, which only emerged in 2013.
Rempel also analyzed 23andMe results from individuals who self-identify as alien abductees, discovering that some families showed evidence of non-parental markers.
If this evidence is confirmed to be true, the alien prober feels that “it could be possible to detect which humans carry alien DNA, essentially identifying hybrids.”
In other words, like the premises of every sci-fi flick from “Invasion Of The Body Snatchers” to “They Live,” the aliens are already walking amongst us, camouflaged our genes, per his theory.
The extra-terrestrial enthusiast even claimed that noted that a good portion of those with autism, ADHD, and Asperger’s, and other neurodivergent traits could contain these alien insertions, although he noted this is speculation at this point.
He even suggested that these extraterrestrial genetic modifications could bestow humans with unusual abilities like telepathy, much like Ellen Ripley’s psychic abilities in the sci-fi sequel “Alien Resurrection.”
Of course, there are some caveats to this out-there study. Rempel, who holds a PHD from the Institute of Gene Biology in Moscow, Russia, noted that there is “no conclusive evidence yet” as they “need better datasets, which are available only on approval.”
“That takes time and effort,” said the scientist, who added that current commercial genotyping services, which rely on array-based data, aren’t precise enough to support such radical claims.
Instead, he advocates for next-generation sequencing (NGS) or whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which can detect novel variants with much higher resolution.
Rempel’s hope is to use high-resolution or next-generation sequencing — which can pick up novel variants at a higher resolution — to analyze parents and children who identify as alien abductees and hopefully pinpoint where aliens infiltrated the DNA strand.
Not to mention that the researcher’s theory is in the same wheelhouse as the most fringe alien-hybrid hypotheses floated by tinfoil hat conspiracists, such as the Naza mummies, which reportedly harbor both human and alien DNA.
Nigel Watson, author of “Portraits of Alien Encounters Revisited,” urged caution due to the sample size and the challenge of studying those with anecdotal evidence of alien abductions.
‘Alien abduction experiences can stem from a variety of terrestrial factors,” he said. “We need to carefully verify these accounts before drawing conclusions about DNA.”
Nonetheless, Watson believes that further genetic research on volunteer abductees is needed and could potentially prove as “world-shattering as recovering a flying saucer.”
In the interim, Rempel believes that possible “alien hybridization” could have major implications for the future of humanity.
“We need to consider how much alien hybridization is healthy for the planet, and which alien races we might give priority,” he said.

Bizarre “Jellyfish” UFO Caught on Video Over Idaho Skies
Published: October 6, 2025
I've seen some weird UFO videos before, but this one might just take the cake.
As clear as it is, the length of the video and the person taking the video's commentary show that this isn't a hoax. At least not one made by the cameraman.
Take a look at the video below, and then sound off by sending us a message with our station's app.
What Was Seen Over The Skies Of Idaho & Utah
According to Scott C. Waring claims on UFO Sightings Daily, a weird "jellyfish" UFO was captured on video in the early morning on Tuesday, September 2nd, around Downey, Idaho.
The video to me doesn't appear to be "Jellyfish" shaped, but more like a blimp or a tied-up white-ish garbage bag. But I wouldn't say this is a blimp or something like a trash sack, and dismiss it.
The movement is too steady and precise to be a bag. And I've never seen a blimp without markings. Then I saw the 2nd video, and whatever it is, it is weird.
Is it a UFO (or as the hip term now, "UAP")? I'd say yes, for the fact that it's (as of now) Unidentified, it appears to be Flying, and we see it, so it's an Object, a UFO.
Waring also captured video of an object that looks to be the same object, later that day in Bountiful, Utah (roughly 120 miles away).
"If it was a balloon, how could it stop on a windy day and hover ten minutes, then shoot away? Impossible, this was a UFO!" - Scott C. Waring.
