1 killed in RSF drone attack on UN aid convoy in Sudan’s North Kordofan: Medics
Update : 06.02.2026
A Sudanese medical group said Friday that one person was killed and three others were injured after drones operated by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted a humanitarian convoy of the World Food Program in Sudan’s North Kordofan state.
In a statement, the Sudan Doctors Network said RSF drones struck the convoy in the Allah Karim area as it was heading toward displaced people in the city of El Obeid, the state capital.
The network described the attack as a “clear violation of international humanitarian law,” warning that it undermines efforts to deliver life-saving aid to civilians amid worsening humanitarian conditions across the country.
It held the RSF fully responsible for the attack and called on the international community, the UN and human rights organizations to take urgent action to protect humanitarian workers, launch an independent and transparent investigation, and ensure accountability.
There was no immediate comment from the rebel group.
Of Sudan’s 18 states, the RSF controls all five states in the western Darfur region, except for parts of North Darfur that remain under army control.
The army holds most areas of the remaining 13 states across the south, north, east and center of the country, including the capital, Khartoum.
The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which erupted in April 2023, has killed thousands of people and displaced millions.

Norway drone ‘threat’ fails to materialise as spy service finds no link to foreign states
February 6, 2026
Investigations into dozens of suspicious sightings near airports and military bases in 2025 conclude that reports were often sparked by ‘celestial bodies’ and weather phenomena.
OSLO – Norway’s domestic intelligence agency has concluded that none of the numerous drone sightings reported across the country throughout 2025 were the work of foreign intelligence services, despite heightened public anxiety regarding national security.
The Police Security Service (PST), which is responsible for counter-espionage and counter-terrorism, launched a series of investigations following a surge in reports of suspicious aerial activity near critical infrastructure, including military installations and airports.
However, in an interview with the Norwegian daily VG, Inger Haugland, a director at the PST, confirmed that the investigations had effectively cleared foreign powers of involvement in last year’s sightings.
“We have not uncovered a single case of a drone being controlled by a foreign state,” Haugland said. “Our mandate is about identifying and countering foreign states that threaten national security—and we are as confident as we can be in the reports from the observations in 2025.”
Mistaken identity
The findings suggest that the Norwegian public’s heightened state of vigilance may have led to a “false positive” effect. throughout 2025, local police forces across almost every region of Norway were flooded with tips from concerned citizens.
While local police conduct the initial groundwork, the PST is brought in to determine if the activity constitutes a clandestine threat from a hostile power. In many instances, the “drones” turned out to be far more mundane.
“There have been various celestial bodies such as stars, weather phenomena, aeroplanes, or helicopters,” Haugland explained.
She noted that the difficulty of judging distances in the night sky often led to misidentification, though she stressed that the PST still encouraged the public to remain alert. “It is good that people are vigilant and still report them to the police,” she added.
The shadow of Ukraine
The surge in reports is widely seen as a symptom of the broader security climate in Europe.
With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine demonstrating the devastating efficacy of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the modern battlefield, the sight of a flickering light in the sky has taken on a new, more sinister meaning for many Norwegians.
Norway, a key NATO member and a vital supplier of gas to Europe, has been on high alert for potential sabotage or surveillance since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“We see how drones are changing modern warfare,” Haugland said. “It is a tool that foreign intelligence could potentially choose to use in Norway as well. Drones can be used in several ways that are potential threats from a security perspective.”
While 2025 may have been a year of “ghost drones” and misidentified stars, the PST maintains that the threat of foreign interference remains a primary concern for the Nordic nation, even if the latest aerial mysteries have been solved.

As Promised, War Department Moving Out Fast on Drone Dominance
Feb. 6, 2026
The War Department announced Feb. 3 the selection of 25 vendors who will help the department achieve its goal of getting some 300,000 drones into the force, both quickly and inexpensively, by 2027.
Those companies will compete in the first phase, or "gauntlet," that makes up the department's Drone Dominance Program — an acquisition reform effort designed to rapidly field low-cost, unmanned one-way attack drones at scale.
This first gauntlet begins Feb. 18 when program participants will bring unmanned aircraft system prototypes to Fort Benning, Georgia.
There, participants will teach military personnel how to use those prototypes, and then military operators will use them to complete various mission scenarios, including an evaluation on their ability to find, lock on and destroy a target.
By the end of the first gauntlet, vendors will be scored on the systems, and up to 12 of the 25 vendors will be invited to produce their drones, at scale, for the department.
As part of the first phase, the selected 12 vendors will produce a total of 30,000 units, at an average price of $5,000 for each, and deliver by July.
Over the course of three additional gauntlets — a total of four in all — the number of vendors will go down from 12 to five, the number of drones ordered will increase from 30,000 to 150,000, and the price per drone will drop from $5,000 to just $2,300.
The Drone Dominance Program will do two things: drive costs down and capabilities up, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a video posted to social media late last year.
"We will deliver tens of thousands of small drones to our force in 2026, and hundreds of thousands of them by 2027."
Through the program, funding will allow for the manufacture of some 340,000 small UAS to combat units over the course of two years.
After that, it's expected that American industry's interest in building drones, as a result of the program, will have strengthened supply chains and manufacturing capacity to the point that military services will be able to afford to buy the drones they want, in the quantity they want and at a price they want, through regular budgeting.
Last year, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order outlining how the United States would up its drone game in both the commercial and military sectors, including how it would deliver massive amounts of inexpensive, American-made, lethal drones to military units, so they can amplify their own combat capabilities.

Lara Trump Says She's Heard Her Father President Donald Trump Will Announce UFO News Soon
06 February 2026, 7:15 PM GMT
In a development that has captured public attention, Lara Trump says she has heard that her father, President Donald Trump, will soon make a significant announcement regarding unidentified flying objects that could impact how Americans view government transparency and national security.
Her comment, made during a recent online conversation, has stirred both curiosity and debate across social media and political circles.
The statement has added to ongoing speculation about whether the United States government might be preparing to share more information about unexplained aerial phenomena—previously referred to as UFOs—with the public.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Lara Trump addressed the topic directly when asked, 'What do you or the president know about UFOs?' Her response—'I hear that the President has something in the queue to share with us about all of this'—was picked up and shared across various other online platforms.
Speculation or Genuine Hint?
The comments have quickly circulated online, with many users interpreting the remark as a hint of impending government disclosure.
Others have cautioned that no official announcement has yet emerged from the White House or any government agency confirming such a plan. According to The Guardian, unidentified aerial phenomena have been a subject of both official and public interest for years.
In previous administrations, including Trump's earlier term, the US government took steps to acknowledge encounters with mysterious objects in the sky, with reports and briefings given to members of Congress about unidentified aircraft observed by military personnel.
Despite this history of increasing openness, experts stress that interpretation of the reported comment should remain cautious, as there is no independent verification of what information, if any, might be forthcoming.
1/2
Public Reaction Spans the Spectrum
The reaction to Lara Trump's remark has been divided. Enthusiasts for UAP disclosure argue that the public deserves transparency about previously withheld information.
Some online discussions have linked these recent comments to other speculative claims, such as assertions from a UK filmmaker that a major UFO revelation could occur later this year, though these claims remain unverified.
Sceptics, however, caution that without official White House confirmation, the idea of an imminent UFO announcement should be taken with a grain of salt.
Commenters in forums dedicated to UFO discussions have highlighted that speculation often grows around any hint of disclosure, especially when it involves high-profile figures like President Trump.
One Reddit user noted ongoing discussions in the disclosure community, including unverified claims about future dates and speeches related to UAPs.
Trump's Previous Stance on UFOs
President Trump's past remarks on unidentified aerial phenomena reflect measured interest rather than a definitive stance on the existence of extraterrestrial life.
In earlier interviews, he acknowledged receiving briefings on sightings by military pilots but stopped short of asserting belief in life beyond Earth.
Individuals and lawmakers alike continue to press for clarity. In 2025, Representative Anna Paulina Luna pursued access to documents and urged agencies to respond to questions about transparency, including on UAPs.
The current political landscape suggests that discussions about unexplained aerial phenomena may remain in the public eye for some time. Whether Lara Trump's comment foreshadows an official statement or simply fuels speculation, it has undeniably reignited interest in the long-standing debate over government transparency on this topic.
What This Means for the Public
For many Americans, the prospect of a presidential announcement on unidentified phenomena raises fundamental questions about government transparency and national security.
The debate centres on how much information agencies possess about UAPs and whether revelations could have implications for scientific research or defence policy.
Analysts and observers will be watching for any official confirmation from the White House, the Department of Defence, or other relevant agencies.
Lara Trump's remarks have become another chapter in the ongoing conversation about government disclosure on UAPs—a topic that continues to draw both public interest and official scrutiny.

Top-secret US Air Force jets spotted near Area 51 amid Trump's UFO disclosure claims
Updated: 12:04 EST, 6 February 2026
Flight tracking data has revealed that multiple top-secret Air Force jets have been sent to the highly classified Area 51 in the Nevada desert Friday morning.
The planes are part of the US military’s Janet fleet, which transports contractor employees, officials from the Department of War, and military personnel to secure facilities containing classified information and technology at the massive complex.
According to multiple flight-tracking websites, one aircraft designated Janet 31 departed Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas at 5.55am PT (8.55am ET) and was last descending into the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), which houses Area 51.
Another flight, this one labeled Janet 43, took off from Harry Reid International 32 minutes later and was last seen heading for a landing area closer to Area 51.
The infamous base has been tied to extraterrestrial lore for decades, with UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists claiming that secret government projects have been conducted at Area 51 since the 1950s.
The flights come just days after US Congressman Eric Burlison claimed he has received permission from the White House to visit secret facilities tied to unconfirmed reports of extraterrestrials and non-human craft Congress has been investigating.
The flights were also spotted after Trump Administration insiders allegedly claimed that full disclosure on UFOs and alien life could come from the president by July 2026.
Despite the growing speculation and daily flights to the top secret facility, the US government and the Pentagon have maintained that physical evidence of UFOs and extraterrestrial has never been found.
Designed by Boeing, Janet jets have a distinctive look, with an all-white body and a single red stripe running from the nose to the tail.
They operate from a dedicated terminal and parking area in Las Vegas, as the remote facility does not support commuting by vehicle.
According to Flight Aware, this was the flight straight day Janet 31 has flown into the airspace over NTTR, with tracking data revealing the plane appeared to land at the nearby Tonopah Test Range, often referred to as Area 52.
Meanwhile, Janet 43 has been seen flying four times this week, appearing to land at a different runway near NTTF, in Nevada's Lincoln County.
A third Janet was captured leaving the Tonopah Test Range Airport at Area 52 just after 11am ET on a course back to Harry Reid International.
The flights from Las Vegas typically take only 15 to 30 minutes, with military personnel regularly traveling the top secret complex to allegedly test and develop highly classified aircraft and weapons systems.
David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who was stationed at NTTF, previously told Daily Mail that the F-117A Nighthawk, America's first stealth bomber, was developed and tested at the base.
However, government whistleblowers and UFO researchers have both claimed to have seen and photographed unidentified objects flying over Area 51 for decades, many which don't look like normal aircraft or behavior like human-made technology.
Area 51, officially referred to as the Groom Lake test facility or 'the Ranch,' was established in April 1955 when scouts spotted the area while flying over the Mojave Desert.
Declassified CIA documents have revealed that the secret facility used to test the U-2 spy plane, which was crucial for intelligence gathering against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
However, the more than 400-page report, which was officially unsealed in 2013, never mentioned what the base was used for after 1974.
Meanwhile, the secret Janet fleet started operations in 1972.
In 1989, famous UFO whistleblower Bob Lazar claimed in a televised interview that he worked at a secret site near Groom Lake known as 'S-4,' and that his job was to study alien technology and spacecraft recovered by the military.
Although the claims have become part of UFO and Area 51 lore, parts of Lazar's story, including his education and employee history, have never been confirmed with any physical records that back up his story.
In a January interview, Burlison claimed the Trump White House has directed the Pentagon to allow the Missouri congressman to visit Area 51 and other key facilities whistleblower evidence has tied to crashed UFOs, bodies, and other recovered tech.
Burlison did not detail when these visits would start taking place or if he would be brought their using the Janet fleet.

Las Vegas group set the bar for UFO investigations 30 years ago
Updated: Feb 5, 2026 / 05:09 PM PST
Thirty years ago, a distinguished group held its first formal meeting here in Las Vegas to discuss how they might approach two of the most perplexing questions of human existence.
8 News Now Chief Investigator George Knapp was invited to participate in that gathering.
Thirty years ago, an extraordinary group of scientists, academics, ex-astronauts, and former CIA contractors gathered in Las Vegas for the very first meeting of the National Institute for Discover Science (NIDS) science advisory board, an organization that would set the bar for all future investigations of UFOs and unusual phenomena.
Their work became the model for what is still unfolding three decades later.
Las Vegas aerospace and real estate tycoon Robert Bigelow has likely spent more money on UFO research than any person in history—tens of millions of his own dollars.
In the late 80’s and early 90’s, Bigelow funded work by individuals and UFO organizations but grew impatient. In 1995, Bigelow created his own group—NIDS.
He recruited Dr. John Alexander from Los Alamos lab to put together prominent names who might serve on a science advisory board to oversee NIDS research and to answer two big questions—are we alone in the universe, and is there life after physical death?
Some invitees said no thanks. Others requested anonymity.
“The stigma was certainly still attached,” Alexander explained. “So, yeah, I’ll do it, but don’t tell anybody about it.”
On Feb. 2 and 3, 1996, the NIDS science advisory board convened at Bigelow’s building on Eastern Avenue.
Among those around the table were Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, along with former U.S. Senator and Apollo 17 astronaut Jack Schmitt, who also had walked on the moon.
The first chairman was Dr. Kit Green, a brilliant neuroscientist and longtime CIA intelligence officer.
Other notables included physicist Dr. Hal Puthoff, who had helped develop the science behind remote viewing, and astronomer, computer scientist, and UFO author Dr. Jacques Vallee, who inspired the French scientist character in Spielberg’s film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” along with several other academic heavyweights and a few who were active in top secret defense projects.
A journalist was also present for much of the weekend session. His scrawled notes indicate the first meeting was so contentious that the board could not agree on its own mission statement.
1/2
One unstated aim of NIDS was to set an example and “make it viable for serious scientists to research [these topics] without ruining their reputations,” Alexander explained.
Among the earliest projects undertaken by NIDS was the study of alleged alien implants, objects found in the bodies of people who claimed they’d been abducted by presumed ETs.
Bigelow funded nationwide surveys to determine how widespread alleged abductions might be.
NIDS also had an early interest in so-called mystery triangles, huge, silent, black triangles that were widely reported from the late 80s until the present.
“[Military jets] were left in the dust,” NIDS deputy director Colm Kelleher said in 2004. “One minute, there triangles were overhead and the next they’re on the horizon.”
Kelleher, a biochemist, was one of three full-time hires made by NIDS in the summer of 1996, along with physicist Dr. Eric Davis, who worked on multiple classified projects, and veterinarian Dr. George Onet.
The main reason NIDS hired a veterinarian was because of an ongoing oddity—animal mutilations.
There had been more than 10,000 incidents across the U.S. where animals, mostly cattle, were carved up with surgical precision. Not a single perpetrator had ever been caught.
NIDS teams would fly to the scene of mutilations to search for physical evidence.
Robert Bigelow’s personal interest in UFOs and mutilations led to a fortuitous purchase: A scenic, 480-acre ranch in northeastern Utah, which reportedly was a hotbed of unknown craft, animal mutilations, and other weirdness.
John Alexander accompanied Bigelow to meet the rancher. Bigelow bought the property, and NIDS began an intense multi-year investigation.
“It was interesting because you had a living laboratory because incidents were ongoing at the time,” Alexander explained. “Over time, we learned more and more about the history because this goes back decades to centuries.”
The NIDS board was divided about how to investigate what is now known as Skinwalker Ranch. Some favored a non-intrusive, low-tech approach.
Bigelow installed cameras, but whatever was behind the weird events at the ranch largely avoided detection. Alexander dubbed it “a precognitive sentient entity.”
The disturbing phenomena witnessed by NIDS personnel were kept largely secret until after NIDS itself dissolved in 2004. If NIDS has a legacy, it is the scientific, but open-minded approach to the unknown.
“I think what we did is probably set up a prototype for how to approach these things, again, a purely scientific basis,” Alexander said.
The only person Knapp told about that first NIDS board meeting was Senator Harry Reid, who had an interest in UFOs. Reid asked if he could attend a future meeting.
He did, and then 11 years later, he put together 22 million dollars to fund what became the largest UFO investigation in U.S. History—AAWSAP, which was modeled after NIDS and which is still a huge influence on the UFO topic.
We have posted on Mystery Wire many of the interviews and news stories we produced related to NIDS.

Mysterious Car-Sized Object Seen Over Springfield, Missouri
February 5, 2026
Something unusual was apparently spotted over Springfield, Missouri a few days ago as an eyewitness claimed it was a diamond-shaped object the size of a small car.
According to the National UFO Reporting Center, this encounter of the Springfield, Missouri kind happened during the early morning hours of January 22, 2026. Here's the eyewitness story shared on the NUFORC site:
"I looked out my windows and saw the craft moving south to north. Seemed to be low flying. Had a metallic look rounded edges.
I caught a few seconds of it on my camera but can't see it well. I got a good look. Was black diamond shaped with some red in the morning sun."
Let's start with possible natural explanations of what this person in Springfield saw. Looking toward the sun can cause optical illusions according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Sundogs, floaters, reflected light and mirages are all a possibility, but none explain what this person claims they witnessed. According to the description shared on the NUFORC, they seem convinced it was a real object and not a sun anomaly.
Not to be the constant cynic, but my question is why there's only one report of this object. Since it was spotted over the Springfield, Missouri area very close to rush hour on a Thursday morning, you'd think this would have been a mass sighting.
That's why I have to believe at this point that the sun caused this person to see something that wasn't really there, but I reserve the right to be wrong. You can read their report on the NUFORC and decide for yourself.

Attorney Names Officials Hiding UFO Evidence From Congress
February 6, 2026
Constitutional attorney Danny Sheehan, with over five decades of experience on classified government cases including Watergate and Iran-Contra, recently sat down on the Curious Dimension podcast and delivered one of the most detailed breakdowns of UFO secrecy to emerge from the disclosure space in recent months.
Sheehan described what he calls the “legacy group,” a small number of individuals embedded inside the CIA’s Operations Directorate, the Division on Science and Technology, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence who control what UFO information reaches the public.
He named Stephanie O’Sullivan, who served as Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence under James Clapper from 2011 to 2017, retired Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, now 94, and the late former Vice President Dick Cheney as figures connected to this structure.
According to Sheehan, his office tracked Cheney to an abandoned naval air station in Texas, secured by Blackwater private security, where he claims Cheney exercised authority over UFO-related programs outside any official government role.
Sheehan also made striking claims about the recovered craft themselves, stating they contain biological components such as neurons, synapses, and dendrites integrated into their structure.
He described the craft as semi-sentient, semi-organic, and telepathically controlled. He argued that civilizations with billions of years of development beyond our own would have long mastered bioengineering at levels humanity is only beginning to explore.
One of the lesser-known revelations from the interview involves what Sheehan describes as two opposing factions inside the Pentagon.
The first is the legacy group, which he says has its own controlled disclosure schedule, slowly releasing select UFO information for reasons they will not explain.
The second faction, which he refers to as the Collins Elite, is a network of high-ranking Pentagon officials who believe the UFO phenomenon is demonic and want all information permanently buried.
According to Sheehan, Dr. Eric Davis was physically confronted by a member of this group in the Pentagon hallways and told his work on UFOs was satanic. Lue Elizondo has publicly described similar encounters, and Congressman Tim Burchett has referenced being warned against pursuing the subject.
On the congressional front, Sheehan referenced an exchange between Congressman Eric Burlison and Elizondo in which Elizondo confirmed he would not be authorized to provide definitive proof of recovered non-human craft even inside a SCIF.
As reported by Liberation Times, Burlison has expressed frustration over how tightly the intelligence community guards this material.
Sheehan also detailed how private aerospace companies ended up holding recovered UFO technology, operating under tacit agreements with the government because they cannot file patents without triggering public disclosure.
He says these companies funnel campaign contributions to key committee chairs to block transparency legislation, including the UAP Disclosure Act.
