Are the Jets from 3I/ATLAS Pulsed Like a Heartbeat?
November 30, 2025
Following its detection on July 1, 2025, the light from the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS showed pulsating variability with a period of 16.16 hours. The periodic variability, reported here, was measured to have an amplitude of tens of percent.
The observers related this variability to a nucleus with an axis ratio of about 0.8. However, the association of this variability with the ellipsoidal shape of the nucleus is not warranted.
Based on the Hubble Space Telescope image taken on July 21, 2025 (and reported here), most of the light observed from 3I/ATLAS originates from a glowing halo around it, a coma.
This coma is transparent so that the nucleus can be seen through it. The fraction of the total light originating from the reflection of sunlight by the nucleus is unknown, because the nucleus size is not resolved in the Hubble image.
However, the brightest pixel in the image presumably overlaps with the nucleus and contains a small fraction of the total light.
If all the light originated from the solid surface of the nucleus, then the effective radius of the nucleus had to be R_eff=10 kilometers in visible light (as reported here) or R_eff=23 kilometers at a wavelength of 1-micrometer (as reported here) for a typical albedo of 4–5%. However, the actual radius of the nucleus must be much smaller since most of the light is coming from the coma.
If the actual radius of the nucleus is R, then the fraction of light that it reflects relative to the total (coma+nucleus) scales as the surface area, (R/R_eff)².
For example, the upper limit of R~2.8 kilometers inferred here from the Hubble image, implies that the nucleus reflects less than a percent of the total light at a wavelength of 1-micrometer.
If the nucleus is spinning over 16.16 hours, why was the periodic variability at a level of tens of percent in total light?
Over the past month, images of 3I/ATLAS showed multiple jets. If the mass loss in the jets is pulsed periodically, the resulting coma would display periodic variability in its scattering of sunlight.
In the context of a natural comet, this can arise from a sunward jet (anti-tail) that is initiated only when a large pocket of ice on one side of the nucleus is facing the Sun.
As a result, the coma will get pumped up every time the ice pocket is facing the Sun. This resembles a heartbeat with a puff of gas and dust serving the role of a stream of “blood” through the coma periodically over the rotation period of 16.16 hours.
Assuming an outflow velocity of 440 meters per second as suggested in the Webb telescope report here , the distance that sublimated volatiles can reach during 16.16 hours is 25,600 kilometers.
This heartbeat pattern should have been apparent in a series of well-calibrated snapshots of the coma over several days but none was systematically studied in the published literature.
For a technological object, the direction of the pulsing jet could be arbitrary and not necessarily pointing towards the Sun.
A movie showing the periodic brightening of the jets around 3I/ATLAS over several days can reveal whether the jets are natural or technological based on the orientation of the heartbeat pattern relative to the Sun.
At any event, it is clear that the reported periodicity over 16.16 hours is not directly associated with the shape of the nucleus but rather with the collimated jets coming from it out to much larger distances.

Give Space Center Houston a Starship instead of the Discovery
11/30/25 10:00 AM ET
Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, both Republicans of Texas, want the space shuttle Discovery to be moved to Space Center Houston from its current location at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington D.C. The proposal is, putting it mildly, controversial.
The dispute started shortly after the space shuttle fleet was retired in 2011. The orbiter fleet, plus the space shuttle Enterprise, were distributed to various venues where they could be visited by tourists as historical artifacts.
The shuttles are on display in the current locations. Shuttle Atlantis is at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Shuttle Discovery is at — the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Shuttle Endeavour is at the California Science Center.
And Shuttle Enterprise is at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.
There is a conspicuous absence of a flown shuttle at Space Center Houston, near the Johnson Spaceflight Center, the home of Mission Control. Texans, including politicians, expressed the suspicion that the omission was deliberate, meant as a slight against the Lone Star State by then President Barack Obama. Obama disputed that accusation at the time.
As a consolation prize, Space Center Houston was gifted a display model of the shuttle, dubbed Independence. The shuttle replica is on display in a plaza outside of the museum.
Fast forward over a decade. Cruz and Cornyn included a mandate to move the space shuttle Discovery from Washington D.C. to Space Center Houston in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.
The measure gives the Smithsonian, which runs the center, 18 months to obey the mandate. The Smithsonian has pushed back. It told Congress earlier this month in a letter that it would need to be partially disassembled to be relocated.
Space.com reports the letter said the total cost “could range from $120 million to $150 million” which is “far higher than the $85 million” that is yet to be distributed from the bill. It notes that the estimate “also doesn’t include the cost of constructing a new facility in Houston to serve as the space shuttle’s new home.”
Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.), where the Discovery is currently located, have expressed the fear that the need to take apart the Discovery for transport would permanently damage the orbiter.
Cruz and Cornyn, along with Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas), have decided to play hardball. They have sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate alleging that the Smithsonian has improperly used federal funds to lobby Congress and influence journalists to oppose the move. Legal wrangling is bound to ensue.
The spectacle of powerful politicians attempting to purloin a used space shuttle orbiter for their own state is starting to get unseemly.
No matter what the circumstances of how the final resting places of the shuttle fleet was chosen, the high cost of moving the Discovery and the risk of damaging the vehicle does not seem to be worth the fuss.
The shuttle is part of the storied history of space exploration. But, down the road from Space Center Houston, the future history of space exploration is being written at the SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas.
Elon Musk’s rocket company is testing the Starship, the vehicle that promises to open up the moon, Mars and beyond to human civilization.
Part of the SpaceX test program will be to catch and land a Starship upper stage with the so-called Mechazilla “chopsticks” in the same way that the Super Heavy first stage has already been caught and landed several times.
Once that Starship is captured and SpaceX engineers examine it, Space Center Houston would seem to be the perfect place to display it.
Imagine, while driving down NASA Road 1, seeing the gleaming, stainless steel edifice of a spacecraft in which people will land on the moon and Mars. It would drive foot traffic and increase ticket sales unlike any exhibit at any museum in human history.
Even better, Musk, public spirited and eager to please politicians who hand out lucrative contracts, might be persuaded to finance the transportation and display of the Starship out of his own pocket.
Cruz and Cornyn, who ought to be frugal with the public purse, should jump at the chance.
The two Texas senators, eager as they are to snag a flown space shuttle orbiter for Texas, should drop the effort and go after the greater prize of a flown Starship.
hey will have props both for statesmanship and for the economic and cultural benefits such a decision will garner for Texas.
It’s a win/win proposition all around.

Scientists mapped the shape of a supernova for the first time ever – and it's not what we expected
November 30, 2025
On April 10, 2024, the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) detected first light from an explosion of a massive star with roughly 12 to 15 times the sun’s mass.
Just 26 hours later, astronomers pointed the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile at the supernova, as this early and brief window provided a rare opportunity to study the initial phase of a star’s death.
The stunning image is an artist's interpretation, showcasing the supernova explosion as revealed by the VLT data.
Thanks to some quick observations, astronomers were able to detect the explosion’s shape during its earliest moments — a phase that would not have been seen if observed just one day later.
Known as SN 2024ggi, this supernova explosion took place in the galaxy NGC 3621, which is located approximately 22 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra.
An image captured by the VLT on April 11, 2024 shows the location of this explosion within the galaxy.
A massive star maintains its near-perfect spherical shape due to a delicate balance between the inward pull of its own gravity, and the outward force of the nuclear fusion-powered radiation generated at its center.
When this balance is lost, the star dies — gravity finally overpowers the pressure holding its core up, causing it to collapse under its own weight.
This collapse pulls all the outer layers inward. These outer layers then rebound and create a powerful shock wave that rips the star apart.
Once the shock breaks through the star’s surface, it releases a lot of energy, increasing the supernova’s brightness dramatically. But how that shock forms and travels outward has long been one of the most debated fundamental questions.
There is a short-lived window, after the explosion has occurred but before it starts to interact with its surroundings, during which astronomers can catch a glimpse of its initial "breakout" shape.
Using spectropolarimetry — a technique that sorts light by its wavelengths and reveals the direction in which the light waves vibrate — scientists with the VLT captured this shape for the first time.
Data from the VLT’s FORS2 instrument, the only facility in the Southern Hemisphere that is capable of making such a measurement, showed that the first light from the exploding star wasn’t emitted in all directions equally.
Instead, the initial shock was stretched along one axis, like an olive — meaning the explosion wasn’t perfectly spherical.
As the blast expanded, its light began to reveal the supernova’s interaction with the gas surrounding the star.
Around day 10, the hydrogen-rich outer layers of the star became visible, and these layers were found to be aligned with the same axis as the first-day shock.
This means the core explosion had a stable, directional shape from the very beginning, suggesting an underlying mechanism that drives a consistent orientation.
Study of the unprecedented view has ruled out some of the current supernova models while supporting others, and provides new details about the catastrophic deaths of massive stars.

Watch live as near-Earth asteroid Eros buzzes the Andromeda Galaxy
November 30, 2025
Tune in on Sunday (Nov. 30) to see live telescopic views as the near-Earth asteroid (433) Eros appears to buzz the Andromeda Galaxy, courtesy of a livestream hosted by the Virtual Telescope Institute in partnership with the Asteroid Foundation.
Sunday's livestream is due to start at 3 p.m. EST (2000 GMT) and will feature expert commentary from Virtual Telescope Project founder Gianluca Masi alongside live views of Andromeda and Eros taken from the organization's wide-field robotic telescopes in Manciano, Italy — weather permitting, of course.
"Having such an important near-Earth asteroid just a couple of degrees away from the legendary Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) is a precious opportunity to share both the importance of these kind of minor planets and the beauty of our cosmic neighbor, the Messier 31 island-universe," Masi told Space.com in an email.
In 1898, Eros became the first near-Earth asteroid ever discovered and was later visited by NASA's NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) Shoemaker spacecraft.
Upon reaching the object, this probe first orbited around the 20-mile-wide (33-kilometer-wide) body then, on Feb. 12, 2001, performed the first asteroid landing in history.
Eros will be just 37 million miles (60 million kilometers) from Earth when it passes within two degrees of Andromeda's core on the night of Nov. 30, while the vast spiral galaxy itself will be positioned a staggering 2.5 million light-years from our solar system.
"Thanks to its large size, Eros will shine at around magnitude 10 for several weeks, making it easily observable even with a modest 60 mm telescope," Masi wrote in a separate email to Space.com.
Magnitude is the value used by astronomers to measure the brightness of an object in the night sky: The lower the value, the brighter the object.

Ukrainian terror plot to bomb gas pipeline outside Moscow foiled – FSB
29 Nov, 2025 17:28
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has thwarted an alleged Ukrainian-orchestrated attempt to destroy a major natural gas pipeline in Moscow Region, the agency announced on Saturday.
According to the FSB, Ukrainian intelligence recruited a 56-year-old Russian national to carry out the bombing.
“It has been established that the citizen in question was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence services in 2024 while in a temporary detention center for foreigners in Ukraine, where he was placed for violating immigration laws.
The agent was sent to Russia under the guise of deportation after recruitment,” the agency said.
This month, the suspect’s handlers contacted him, instructing him to purchase a car and an electric drill.
Kiev’s intelligence also supplied him with the coordinates of a dead drop where he retrieved homemade explosive devices disguised as construction glue tubes, the FSB stated.
The man was caught red-handed as he was attempting to drill into the ground above the pipeline to plant the explosives.
After carrying out the terror attack, the suspect was expected to leave Russia and return to Ukraine through third countries, the FSB added.
Moscow has accused Kiev of staging numerous such attacks and sabotage operations targeting infrastructure across Russia during the Ukraine conflict.
Earlier this week, for instance, the FSB said it eliminated two men acting on behalf of a “terrorist group and in coordination with Ukrainian special services,” who attempted to install a derailment device on a railroad bridge between Novoaltaysk and Biysk.
The suspects were killed in a gun battle with FSB operatives.
Moscow has warned that Kiev is increasingly turning to terrorist tactics as the frontline situation continues to deteriorate for Ukrainian troops.
The Ukrainian leadership has also been plagued by a massive corruption scandal linked to Vladimir Zelensky’s inner circle.
The graft affair has already led to the downfall of two Ukrainian ministers and Zelensky’s right-hand man and chief of staff, Andrey Yermak.

Ex-Ukrainian Army chief wants nukes
30 Nov, 2025 16:33
Only joining NATO, hosting nuclear weapons, or accepting a major foreign military force can truly guarantee Ukraine’s security, ex-top general Valery has claimed.
Ukraine’s former armed forces commander-in-chief made the remarks in a piece run by The Telegraph on Saturday.
The general, who has reportedly been quietly building a campaign team from London to be able to run for president, shared his musings about how Russia could be defeated, how to build what he called a “better Ukraine,” and what “security guarantees” Kiev would have to secure in order to prevent the conflict with Moscow from reigniting in the future.
”Such security guarantees could include: Ukraine’s accession to NATO, the deployment of nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory, or the deployment of a large allied military contingent capable of confronting Russia,” Zaluzhny wrote.
The former top general effectively repeated the most hawkish talking points of the incumbent Ukrainian leadership; Vladimir Zelensky has repeatedly invoked such topics amid the conflict with Russia and even beforehand.
Moscow has repeatedly signaled that none of the purported “security guarantees” listed by Zaluzhny were even remotely acceptable.
Russia has long opposed Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, citing the bloc’s eastward expansion as a threat to national security and naming it among the key factors behind the ongoing conflict.
Furthermore, the Kremlin has repeatedly said that Ukraine must adopt a neutral status as a part of any future peace agreement.
Kiev’s nuclear talk has also been strongly condemned by Russia, which has argued that the rhetoric only ramps up tensions and brings an all-out global war closer.
The Ukrainian leadership has repeatedly lamented giving up its inherited Soviet nuclear arsenal in the early 1990s, claiming it received nothing in return.
In reality, however, it had always stayed under Moscow’s control, while independent Ukraine had no means to operate or maintain the warheads that ended up in its territory after the collapse of the USSR.
A potential deployment of foreign forces to Ukraine during or after the ongoing conflict has been ruled out by Russia as well. Moscow has argued that the potential move would only put Russia on a direct collision course with the collective West.

>wonder if dark winter is still on the cards?
Drones targeted Russia’s south overnight, oil refinery and heating facility were reportedly hit (MAP)
30/11/2025
In the early hours of 30 November 2025, drones reportedly struck infrastructure in several southern Russian regions and Russian-occupied Donetsk oblast, damaging a refinery, an industrial site, and a heating facility, according to Liga, citing Russian officials.
Moscow's MoD claimed to have intercepted dozens of drones.
Russia continues its ground assaults alongside nightly aerial drone and missile strikes across Ukraine, with a particular focus on crippling the power grid to leave civilians without electricity or heating during winter and undermine their will to resist.
In response, Ukraine launches long-range drones to strike military, defense-industrial, and fuel infrastructure in Russia and Russian-occupied territories.
Some of these attacks specifically target power and heating facilities in retaliation.
Drone allegedly knocked out heating in Rostov oblast town
Yurii Slyusar, the governor of Russia’s Rostov oblast, claimed that a drone strike hit a boiler plant in the town of Gukovo.
The plant reportedly heated 128 apartment buildings and infrastructure facilities. Heating supply was halted following the strike.
In the nearby city of Novoshakhtinsk, Slyusar said a fire broke out at an industrial enterprise.
He claimed the blaze, which covered about 50 square meters, was quickly extinguished. Russia’s Defense Ministry reported that its air defenses intercepted and destroyed 16 drones in the region.
Oil pipeline damaged at Sloviansk ECO refinery in Krasnodar Krai
In Slavyansk-na-Kubani, Krasnodar Krai, local officials claimed a gas pipeline at the Slavyansk ECO oil refinery was damaged during a drone attack.
The operational headquarters of Krasnodar Krai stated that there was no fire. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that seven drones were neutralized in the region, and 33 in total.
Drones in Tatarstan
At least one drone reached Russia's Tatarstan. Russian news Telegram channel reported explosions in Elabuga in the area of the factory, manufacturing Shahed drones. Russia's MoD claimed that one drone was downed in the area.
Russia's Tatarstan is under drone attack. Local residents say they heard explosions near the Alabuga Special Economic Zone, where the Shahed drones are produced.

Explosions rock occupied Donetsk oblast as strikes target rail junctions
Explosions were also reported in Russian-occupied Donetsk oblast. Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ said that Ukrainian strike drones targeted railway junctions to disrupt Russian military logistics.
The channel posted video footage showing an explosion in occupied Avdiivka and the glow from a distant blast in Debaltseve.
Last night, drones targeted Russian-controlled railway hubs in occupied Donetsk Oblast, monitoring channels reported
Euromaidan Press could not independently confirm any damage to the mentioned facilities.
In their morning reports, the Ukrainian Army's General Staff and Unmanned Systems Forces did not mention the attacks on Rostov and Krasnodar regions or Donetsk Oblast.

IDF Eliminates Hamas East Rafah Battalion Commander, Deputy, and Two Terror Operatives in Southern Gaza Tunnel Strike
November 30, 2025 7:08 am
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed Sunday that the commander of Hamas’s East Rafah Battalion, his deputy, a company commander, and a fourth terror operative were killed early that morning while attempting to flee a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a video released by the IDF and widely circulated online, Col. Arik Moyal, commander of the Nahal Infantry Brigade, announced that his troops, with close air support from the Israeli Air Force, carried out the targeted strike.
Standing at the tunnel site, Col. Moyal displayed a Tavor assault rifle recovered from the slain terrorists.
He identified the weapon as belonging to Staff Sgt. Or Mizrahi, a Nahal Brigade soldier who was killed in action against Hamas terrorists on the Gaza border during the October 7, 2023 massacre.
“The rifle you see in my hands was looted from our hero, Staff Sgt. Or Mizrahi, who fell fighting the enemy on October 7,” Moyal said in the video. “Today we closed the circle.”
Among those killed was the son of senior Hamas political bureau member Ghazi Hamad, according to the brigade commander.
The operation took place as IDF ground forces continue expanded operations in the Rafah area aimed at dismantling remaining Hamas battalions and destroying the terror group’s underground infrastructure.
The IDF has not yet released the names of the eliminated Hamas commanders.

Moldova Briefly Shuts Airspace After New Drone Breach
November 30, 2025
Moldova closed its airspace for about an hour overnight following a drone incursion that its pro-European president denounced on Saturday, accusing Russia of flying across her country to attack civilians in neighboring Ukraine.
The country, wedged between Ukraine and Romania, has repeatedly reported violations of its airspace since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Earlier this week, Moldova said a drone had crashed on its soil, with six drones in total overflying its territory.
The defense ministry said in a statement on Saturday airspace had been “closed for approximately one hour and 10 minutes” just before 11:00pm local time on Friday (21:00 GMT).
The ministry said the “emergency measure” came after two unidentified drones illegally flew over Moldovan territory, “creating a direct threat to aviation safety.”
The ministry added that Moldovan radars had not detected the drones, but the incursion was “confirmed by the Ukrainian border authorities.”
“No objects, debris or elements posing a danger to the population have been identified and both drones have permanently left national airspace, moving deep into Ukrainian territory,” the interior ministry said.
However, two commercial flights were diverted to Romania during the incident, and another plane preparing to leave from Chisinau was temporarily grounded, it said.
“Moldova strongly condemns these illegal and dangerous actions, which endangered the safety of civilian flights and human lives,” said the defense ministry, branding the violations as “hostile acts of intimidation and destabilization.”
President Maia Sandu said in a post on X that the “brutal attack” was neither “the language of diplomacy, nor of a country claiming to negotiate peace.”
“On their way to kill civilians, Russian drones again violated Moldovan airspace… We condemn these attacks and stand with Ukraine,” she said.
On Wednesday, Moldova summoned the Russian envoy over the recent drone crash, handing him a protest note and placing the actual drone outside its foreign ministry.

Heavy-lift drone debuts in China's Chongqing to transport transmission tower materials
2025-11-30 17:42 Last Updated At：22:07
To address the logistical challenges of power grid construction in mountainous areas while protecting the ecological environment, southwest China's Chongqing Municipality has completed its first aerial transportation of transmission tower components using heavy-lift drones.
The operation concluded on Saturday as part of a renovation project on the 35-kilovolt Xitu Line, which involves 15 towers.
In Zhongliang Township of Wuxi County, northeast Chongqing, a heavy-lift drone carrying 289 kilograms of steel tower materials ascended along its planned route and flew straight toward Tower No. 17 of the Xitu Line.
After approximately 20 minutes, the drone hovered above the tower foundation and lowered the payload precisely onto the designated area.
With drone assistance, all materials for the entire tower, which stands over 40 meters tall, were completed in just over two hours.
In the project, a total of 125.44 tons of tower materials for the 15 towers located on steep terrain were delivered exclusively by drones.
"The use of heavy-lift drones to transport transmission tower materials has demonstrated multiple significant advantages.
Capable of flying directly over mountains, villages and other obstacles, the drones are well suited to complex terrain and eliminate the need to build winding mountain access roads.
Compared with traditional mule-and-horse transport, overall costs are greatly reduced. Materials that originally required three days to deliver for a single tower now only take half a day," said Chen Tao, a staff member of the Construction Department, State Grid Chongqing Wuxi Power Supply Company.
Using drone to transport materials minimized the need for temporary road construction and eliminated tree felling, effectively protecting natural forests and preventing damage to mountain vegetation.
By reducing carbon emissions and ecological disturbance, drone transportation has achieved both environmental protection and economic efficiency.

Shock Claims Emerge as New UFO Whistleblower Says Earth Triggered Alien Surveillance Billions of Years Ago
30 November 2025, 12:31 PM GMT
A Reddit whistleblower calling herself 'Rhea' has sent the internet into a frenzy after posting explosive allegations to an account that draws around 650,000 visitors each week, claiming that Earth has been under alien surveillance for billions of years.
The post, which quickly spread across social media platforms, paints an extraordinary picture of secret intelligence units, hidden extraterrestrial councils and a vast cosmic history that most people have never imagined.
The Whistleblower Behind the Viral Post
According to Rhea, she previously served in both the military and a classified intelligence unit that she describes as a compartment inside a compartment, buried so deeply within government bureaucracy that it officially does not exist.
She presents herself as a specialist in electro‑optics, someone trained in the science behind lasers, sensors and long‑range detection systems.
In her telling, years of closely studying sensor anomalies slowly pushed her into territory few analysts ever reach.
She explains that strange signals, unexplained behaviours and recurring patterns in sensor data forced her and a small group of colleagues to confront the possibility that something far more advanced than human technology was entering Earth's airspace and oceans.
Rhea claims that persistent anomalies were detected across different countries, different decades and entirely different types of surveillance systems. She says these events were too consistent and too numerous to dismiss as glitches.
Eventually, she alleges, she was taken into a secure facility, stripped of all personal electronics, required to sign additional secrecy documents and then shown information that changed her understanding of the world entirely.
The Alleged Alien Council Monitoring Earth
In Rhea's account, Earth was first noticed roughly two billion years ago, long before animals emerged on land, when atmospheric biosignatures reportedly triggered an automated alert within an alien surveillance network.
She describes this network as vast, ancient and operated by what she calls 'The Council', which she says is not a single species but a collective of highly advanced civilisations.
She claims their observational technology is so far beyond anything humans have built that even the most sophisticated modern telescopes would seem like toys in comparison.
According to her narrative, Earth was categorised as an interesting biosphere and entered into a long‑term monitoring programme.
She says enormous arrays of alien instruments, possibly interstellar or even interdimensional, have been watching our planet throughout geological history.
She also alleges that some of the unidentified aerial and undersea phenomena documented in recent years may be related to these systems rather than visiting spacecraft.

Claims of Human Experiments
One of Rhea's most surprising assertions involves an alleged relocation of around 65,000 humans in prehistory to a planet orbiting the star 82 Eridani.
She refers to these people as the 'Erids' and claims they were placed into a society free from material scarcity in order to see how human civilisation would evolve without constant struggle for resources.
In her version of events, the Erids developed at extraordinary speed, supposedly reaching a level of advancement equivalent to thousands of years beyond modern Earth.
Warnings of a Potential Threat and the Alleged Government Response
Toward the end of her post, Rhea shifts from cosmic history to ominous warnings.
She claims that not all extraterrestrial civilisations are friendly towards the Council's monitoring programme and that a hostile group is moving into position.
According to her, several major governments have already been briefed in great secrecy and are receiving technologies far beyond known science in preparation for a potential confrontation.
She insists that time is limited and that, sooner or later, the truth will be impossible to hide.
Although none of the claims can be verified, the story has captured the attention of UFO enthusiasts, sceptics and curious readers alike.
Regardless of its authenticity, the post has triggered fierce debate, raising questions about what governments might know and whether humanity is alone in the universe.
Backlash and Criticism on Social Media
The viral post has also sparked criticism across social media, with several users questioning both the credibility of the claims and the motives behind them.
One user, JP Slaeyte, argued that the story mirrors narratives historically pushed by intelligence circles, warning that some details sound suspiciously familiar.
He wrote that parts of the account resemble earlier claims linked to alleged manipulation by intelligence agencies, adding that the section about hostile, insectoid beings was a clear red flag.
As he put it, the story felt like something 'written by someone in a three letter agency' and that certain alien descriptions echoed accounts where sources were 'being manipulated by the DIA'.
Another user, Mexicancik, described the post as an expertly crafted narrative rather than a factual disclosure. They noted that it blends scientific ideas with well‑known UFO themes, calling it 'highly sophisticated' but ultimately speculative.
They argued that the piece relies on selective detail and technical language to appear authoritative, saying it was 'more likely a carefully crafted work of fiction'.
While they acknowledged that the political angle regarding a cover‑up was original, they said the reliance on unverifiable timelines and 'non‑verifiable doomsday clocks' weakened its credibility.
Despite the criticism, the post continues to circulate widely, prompting ongoing discussion among UFO believers, sceptics and curious observers trying to decide whether Rhea's claims reveal a hidden truth or simply reflect an elaborate story designed to provoke and entertain.

‘World’s First Alien Temple’ Is In India? Tamil Nadu Man’s ‘Unique Dream’ Leads To A ‘Unique Temple’
Updated Nov 30, 2025, 11:50 IST
Not only does the world have an ‘alien temple’, but the unique temple is in India! Wait, what? A video was recently shared on social media, where a Tamil Nadu man was seen giving a tour of an ‘alien temple’, as if it was one of the most common things in the world.
As per News 18, the man was identified as Loganathan, who is a resident of Ramagoundanur in Mallamooppampatti. The temple is reportedly in Tamil Nadu’s Salem, where it has been built ‘11 feet below the ground’.
Yes, feel free to take your time to take THAT in.
What is inside the temple?
Well, just like any other regular temple in the world, this ‘world’s first alien temple’ also has a deity; ‘alien deity’.
The clip showed a black statue of what appeared to be an alien, with a garland on the ‘idol’s’ neck. All in all, the temple preaches aliens.
What led to such a unique temple?
If Loganathan is to be believed, as per News 18, the man had a dream, where he allegedly saw the ‘alien deity’. The man further reportedly believes that the ‘alien’ is also the ‘first deity’ that was created by Lord Shiva.
The man allegedly believes that the ‘alien deity’ is powerful enough to protect him and the world from natural disasters, resulting in him worshiping the deity daily.
He further claimed that he even communicated with the ‘alien diary’, who assured the devotee’s safety.
Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post.
Check out the viral post:
“Kailaya sivalayam alien temple. Address: 18/136, Sundhar Nagar, Old Suramangalam, Salem, Tamil Nadu 636302,” the post read.
The video was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘Dev Basker’. The post was shared days ago, and pulled more than 34K views from netizens.
Internet’s Reactions:
“It's pure business these days,” a user said. “Meanwhile Area51 is laughing in the corner,” joked a second person. “Only Shiva Karthikeyan came for the opening of this temple!! What even is this?” added another person.
“Bro what is Alien's favorite food bro ?? What offerings are you putting in?” asked another person. “It is madness. I don’t know what is happening to people these days. Look how confident this man is,” added another.
“We are running backward. Even if you had a dream, what was the need for making a temple? What is even happening to people these days. I hope we get better with time, it’s important,” wrote the next.

Has the MAJESTIC JEHOVAH reverse engineering “Bigot List” just been declassified?
Nov 25, 2025
An odd, single page document in the 2025 JFK Assassination Files release may be the key to President Kennedy's murder.
The following document was released in April 2025 as part of the JFK Assassination files. It contains the names of 85 individuals, from across a broad range of US government departments and private industries.
Unusually, it was released as a single-page document – unlike the thousands of other JFK assassination documents released since 2017, which normally have a cover page known as the JFK Assassination System Identification Form.
This cover page includes such data as:
· the date of declassification
· the Agency from which the file originated from
· the record number
· the record series
· document information
This document had none of the above:
The original can be found at this URL:
https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2025/0318/104-10111-10104.pdf
At first glance, this list looks unremarkable. However, the Primary Key here is the entry for David Lamar Christ, an Applied Physicist who was recruited in 1950 as the CIA’s first scientist.
Helpfully, the Assassination Records Review Board underlined Christ’s name, as he was obviously a major person of interest in their investigation of President Kennedy’s murder:
The 24th of November, 1950, was the date that Dave Christ received his Central Intelligence Agency Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance.
https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=102749#relPageId=339
The problem is – half of those people on that list aren’t CIA employees.
This is a “Bigot List” of a program operated by the CIA that utilises specialist personnel from a wide range of the Armed Services and private industry scientists.
In other words, a reverse engineering program.
EDIT 27/11/2025 - The sharp eyes of fellow researcher Ryan Purkey pointed out a significant twist to this emerging story.
This document had also previously been released in 2018 and 2023, with a gradual decline in the number of redactions.
For example, the 2023 release only had two redactions remaining - those of Joseph W. Reidy and CDR Horace F. Amine, USNR.
Looking at these two individuals, we find that the dates on this list are NOT the dates they received their base CIA TS/SCI.
These dates, therefore, refer to something else. I posit here that it is a special, highly sensitive compartment for a reverse engineering program.
For example, looking at Joseph W. Reidy, we find the following entry in DCI Gen. Walter Bedell Smith’s log for September 4, 1951:
https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/1951-09-01.pdf Page 3
For Reidy to be on a TDY in Frankfurt in 1951, he would have required a TS/SCI clearance to have been granted prior to his deployment.
Once he returned to the U.S. and fully recovered, he received a briefing into this compartment on June 12, 1952, that was a Bigot Assignment. Reidy was also an Air Force Reserve 1LT.
Likewise, in 1950, CDR Horace F. Amrine was heavily involved in the creation of the Civilian Air Transport front company, which later became known as Air America.
https://air-britain.com/pdfs/archive/Archive_2011.pdf Page 16
The cover of working for the State Department is/was very common for CIA officers working overseas, and Amrine’s conversations took place in March of 1950.
Once again, Amrine would have already required a TS/SCI clearance to engage in these sensitive discussions. Amrine was briefed into this Bigot Assignment compartment on June 2, 1952, a few days before Joe Reidy.
Why were their names the only ones redacted in 2023? Probably because it is relatively easy to see that they were already TS/SCI cleared before the dates on the list, thereby confirming this was a special compartment.
Something the CIA did not want the world to know.
Dave Christ, however, was specifically recruited for this compartment - in fact, he was the CIA’s first scientific recruit. That is why his TS/SCI grant date is the same as the date on this list.
The meaning of a “Bigot List”
To explain the definition of a Bigot List, here is Admiral Thomas Wilson in an excerpt from the Wilson-Davis Memo.
He is describing to Dr. Eric W. Davis what happened when he discovered the Legacy reverse engineering program as Deputy Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency:
The MAJESTIC JEHOVAH bigot list is littered with names not related to the CIA, yet they all have a “Need to Know” and have a CIA TS/SCI equivalent clearance.
I will name each individual and provide a URL so you can see for yourself that this project extended across the entire U.S. Military Industrial Complex.
