Russia cancels Victory Day celebrations in Crimea over 'safety concerns' amid Ukraine drone strikes
May 6, 2026 5:54 pm
Amid intensified Ukrainian drone strikes, Russian proxy authorities in occupied Crimea have canceled Victory Day celebrations due to "safety concerns," Crimea's head of Russian occupation authorities, Sergey Aksyonov, reported on May 5.
Aksyonov said that this year in Crimea, there will be no military parade or other major events, including the regular Immortal Regiment march.
"This decision by the authorities is based on security considerations," Aksyonov wrote in a Telegram post, without mentioning Ukraine or drones.
"At the same time, we will do everything necessary and possible to pay tribute to our dear veterans, honor the memory of the fallen, and hold celebratory events in various formats. Crimea will mark our main holiday with dignity," Aksyonov added.
Meanwhile, Mikhail Razvozhaev, the head of the illegal Russian occupation government of Sevastopol, said on May 6 that city services are "actively" cleaning monuments to Soviet heroes, tending flower beds, planting flowers, and decorating streets with festive displays.
Every year on May 9, Russia stages large-scale military parades in Moscow and other cities in Russia and occupied Ukraine to commemorate the end of World War II in Europe.
The celebrations emphasize the Soviet Union's role in the victory, and the Kremlin uses the event to showcase its military might and reinforce official propaganda narratives around the war in Ukraine.
But projecting military might will be particularly tricky for the Kremlin this year — it will not feature traditional column of military vehicles "due to the current operational situation," Russia's Defense Ministry said April 28.
Drone attacks on Crimea
Ukraine has ramped up its strikes on Russian military facilities and infrastructure supporting the Russian army in recent weeks, both in occupied territories and inside Russia.
According to Razvozhaev, air raids were issued several times this week and in previous weeks in Crimea because of the threat posed by Ukrainian drones.
Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) released a video on May 5 showing the targets within occupied Ukraine that were struck by its special operations unit "Ghosts."
The targets included a Be-12 Chaika aircraft, three Project 05060 boats, a support vessel, and a hangar for storing Project 05060 assault boats.
"Specialists from the 'Ghosts' unit… continue to implement a systematic approach to neutralizing Russian military facilities in the temporarily occupied Crimea," HUR wrote.
Victory Day ceasefire
Elsewhere, Ukraine sees no reason to observe a ceasefire proposed by Russia for its Victory Day celebrations, a senior Ukrainian official told the Kyiv Independent on May 6.
"We just don't see the point (to follow it) for the parade," the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to comment publicly, said.
The comment came after President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had violated a Ukrainian-proposed ceasefire 1,820 times by 10 a.m. local time, hours after it took effect.
Zelensky said on May 4 that Ukraine would implement a ceasefire starting May 6, after Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a separate "Victory Day ceasefire" on May 8–9.
Moscow earlier scaled back its planned Victory Day parade, an annual showcase of its projected military strength, amid fears of potential Ukrainian attacks.
Ceasefires throughout the war, often proposed by Moscow during religious holidays, have never held. Russia violated the previous truce during Orthodox Easter 10,721 times over a 32-hour period in April, Ukraine's General Staff said.

Sudan accuses Ethiopia, UAE over drone attacks on Khartoum airport
May 6, 2026
The Sudanese government has accused neighbouring Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates of orchestrating drone attacks on Khartoum International Airport and other military installations in the capital.
According to authorities, the airport and parts of the Greater Khartoum area were hit on Monday, marking a renewed escalation after months of relative calm.
The calm followed the expulsion of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces from Khartoum by the Sudanese army last year.
Sudan’s Foreign Minister, Mohieddin Salem, announced that the country has recalled its ambassador to Ethiopia for consultations over the incident.
The Information Minister confirmed that no casualties were recorded.
However, the Sudanese army claimed it has conclusive evidence that the drones were launched from Bahir Dar Airport in Ethiopia.
Military officials said they had previously tracked a drone, identified as Emirati-owned, entering Sudanese airspace from Ethiopia before it was shot down.
Ethiopia has denied any involvement in the attack, describing the allegations as unfounded.
The United Arab Emirates also rejected the claims, stating that the accusations undermine efforts to resolve the conflict in Sudan and amount to deliberate misinformation.
Earlier reports in February alleged that Ethiopia was hosting a camp to train RSF fighters and had upgraded the Asosa Airport for drone operations with backing from the UAE.
Both Ethiopia and the UAE denied those reports.Ethiopia’s Foreign Ministry reiterated that Sudan and Ethiopia share a long-standing relationship and called for dialogue among the warring parties in Sudan to end the conflict.

FBI Director Kash Patel issues urgent update on government UFO files
5:48 6 May 2026 GMT+1
The head of the FBI Director has updated the public about the UFO files the president has said will be released.
This comes after President Donald Trump spoke to reporters at the White House, claiming that ‘very interesting’ newly uncovered UFO files could soon be made available to view.
During the press briefing, the president claimed: “We’re going to be releasing a lot of things that we haven’t. I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people.”
Speaking about the files previously at an event for Turning Point USA, Trump said: “The first releases will begin very, very soon, so you can go out and see if that phenomena is correct. You’ll figure it out.”
Earlier this year, the president took to his own social media platform Truth Social to announce that he would be seeking to release the files ‘based on the tremendous interest shown’.
Now, FBI director Kash Patel has confirmed that these UFO files have been delivered for release.
While not much is currently known about what the files contain, Trump has shared that they contain documents ‘related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters’.
In other news, a retired Air Force general who had links to UFO research was reported missing back in February after he vanished from his home.
68-year-old William Neil McCasland was reported missing by his wife, Susan Wilkerson, who said on the 911 call: “He’s left his phone. He changed his clothes into… I don’t know what. I think he’s on foot. All of our cars and bicycles are in the garage.
“He turned it off and left it behind, which seems kind of deliberate because he’s always got his phone. He has a smartwatch. I don’t know if that’s with him or not.”
McCasland previously worked at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, which has been linked to conspiracy theories of UFOs.
Now, some believe that the base contains debris which had been left by a crash-landed alien spaceship.
Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett spoke to WABC radio about McCasland, where he said: “He’s the guy that had a lot of nuclear secrets. I’ve been told by several sources that he was the gatekeeper for the UFO stuff.”

UAP Whistleblower David Grusch on “Non-human” Biologics & Craft
May 05, 2026
David Grusch served 14 years in the Air Force, reaching Major, including a combat tour in Afghanistan.
Grusch also held senior intelligence roles at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office and represented the latter on the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force from 2019 until 2021.
In 2022, he filed a whistleblower complaint deemed “credible and urgent.”
In 2023, Grusch testified before Congress, alleging that elements of the U.S. government had thwarted Congressional oversight, withheld information from proper Executive Branch officials, and illegally concealed programs tied to the recovery and reverse engineering of craft of unknown, non-human origin.

The 2023 Las Vegas Backyard UFO Case Returns To Center Stage As Washington Moves Toward Disclosure
May 6, 2026
The Las Vegas backyard UFO case never really disappeared. It was buried under ridicule, memes, debunking attempts, and the public’s natural fatigue with stories that sound too extraordinary to process.
But now, with President Donald Trump saying UFO files are coming “very, very soon,” and with members of Congress openly discussing UAPs, non-human intelligence, interdimensional theories, and even the Book of Enoch, the 2023 Las Vegas incident deserves a second look—not as internet entertainment, but as evidence.
This isn’t the moment for blind belief. It is also not the moment for lazy dismissal. The proper standard is through a legal-forensic review: What was officially reported?
What was captured? What was independently observed? What did the witnesses say in real time? What do trained analysts claim the video shows?
On May 1, 2023, a streaking light crossed the sky over the Southwest.
The American Meteor Society recorded reports from multiple states, including Nevada, California, Arizona, and Utah, with witnesses describing a bright fireball around the same general timeframe.
Shortly afterward, a Las Vegas family called 911 claiming something had crashed in their backyard and that they had seen large non-human beings.
According to reports, the caller described creatures approximately 8 to 10 feet tall, thin, and greenish in color.
That alone would normally place the story in the category of strange local news. But this case had more than a call. It had police response. It had bodycam footage. It had a family visibly shaken.
It had a sky event reported by others. And later, it had crime scene reconstruction analyst Scott Roder conducting a frame-by-frame review of backyard video and publicly claiming that the footage showed at least two “beings” using what he described as some form of “cloaking”effect.
Roder’s conclusion is explosive—he applied principles similar to those he would use in a homicide investigation and concluded that the entities were in the real-world environment, not fabricated into the video.
He also said he was opening the analysis to peer review and would hear contrary expert opinions. That matters. In law, the strongest evidence is not the evidence that demands belief. It is the evidence that survives challenge.
The Las Vegas case now sits at the crossroads of three powerful forces.
First, the federal government is under increasing public and congressional pressure to release UAP records.
Second, official agencies continue to urge caution, with NASA’s UAP study finding no conclusive evidence in peer-reviewed literature proving extraterrestrial origin, and AARO stating that it has found no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity, or technology.
Third, a growing public conversation is no longer limited to aircraft, propulsion, or military airspace.
It has moved into theology, ancient texts, and the possibility that humanity may have described the same phenomenon through different language across different ages.
That is where the Book of Enoch and the “Watchers” enters the modern UFO discussion.
1/2
Enoch describes non-human beings called the Watchers, interacting with mankind, imparting forbidden knowledge, crossing boundaries between heavenly and earthly realms, and generating consequences that were moral, spiritual, and civilizational.
Modern UAP discourse often speaks in different terms: non-human intelligence, advanced technology, interdimensional presence, telepathic communication, and beings that appear humanoid but not human.
The categories are not identical. The language is separated by thousands of years. But the overlap is why some researchers are now asking whether ancient texts may preserve early human attempts to describe encounters with an intelligence beyond ordinary human experience.
That does not prove the Las Vegas beings were “Watchers.” It does not prove aliens are biblical entities. It does not prove a religious framework is the only framework.
But it does raise a legitimate investigative question: If disclosure confirms non-human intelligence, will the public be forced to revisit ancient records that describe non-human intelligences interacting with mankind long before the modern UFO era?
That is the real power of the Las Vegas case. Not certainty. Implication. A legally disciplined review must therefore separate the case into evidence tiers.
The first tier is documented and verifiable: a bright sky event was reported by multiple witnesses across the Southwest; the American Meteor Society logged reports; police responded to the Las Vegas family’s 911 call; and the family’s account became part of the public record through media reporting.
The second tier is testimonial: the family claimed they saw large non-human beings in their backyard. Their fear, tone, and immediate response are relevant because spontaneous statements made during a stressful event may carry probative value.
The third tier is forensic interpretation: Roder’s analysis claims the video contains visual anomalies consistent with beings in the scene.
If disclosure is truly coming, then the biggest revelation may not simply be that strange objects have appeared in the sky. The deeper revelation may be that humanity’s categories are too small.
We may be trying to force an ancient, spiritual, technological, biological, and interdimensional mystery into words that were never designed to hold it.
Enoch used the language of his world. Modern witnesses use the language of aliens, UAPs, cloaking, non-human intelligence, and interdimensional beings.
The question is not whether those words are identical. The question is whether they may be pointing toward the same terrifying possibility: that mankind has never been alone in the way it imagined, and that the truth—if confirmed—may not merely change science.
It may shake theology, government credibility, national security, and the way ordinary people understand reality itself.
That is why the Las Vegas case matters now.
Because if the government opens the files and the evidence points beyond machines, beyond drones, beyond foreign adversaries, and beyond conventional explanations, the next question will not be whether Americans can handle the truth.
The next question will be whether our institutions—government, media, science, and the church—are prepared to tell it honestly.

Barack Obama forced to clarify 'aliens are real' claim live on-air
May 6, 2026
The former president made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night
Barack Obama has moved to shut down the frenzy sparked by his viral "aliens are real" comment, offering both a formal clarification and a pointed reality check during a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night.
The former US president initially sent social media into overdrive during a rapid-fire podcast segment with Brian Tyler Cohen in February, when he was asked directly: "Are aliens real?"
"They’re real, but I haven’t seen them," Barack replied, a comment that was quickly amplified across global media, fuelling headlines and reigniting long-running conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial life and government cover-ups.
Within hours, the remark had spiralled into a full-blown viral storm, drawing comparisons with previous statements from political figures including Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, both of whom have publicly addressed the possibility of alien life in the past.
However, Barack later issued a clarification on Instagram, insisting his answer had been taken out of context.
"I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round," he explained. "Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low."
He added unequivocally: "I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!"
Now, in his latest television appearance with Stephen Colbert, Obama reinforced that message with trademark humour, dismantling the idea of a secret alien cover-up in a single line.
"If that were happening," he said, "someone would be taking selfies," suggesting that in today’s hyper-connected world, any such extraordinary discovery would be impossible to conceal adding: "The government is terrible at hiding secrets".
The comments come amid renewed public fascination with unidentified aerial phenomena, a topic that has gained increasing legitimacy in recent years following congressional hearings and official Pentagon reports.
In 2022, US defence officials confirmed efforts to remove the stigma around reporting so-called UAPs, encouraging military personnel to document unexplained sightings as potential national security concerns.
A subsequent government report revealed that more than 750 new sightings had been recorded between May 2023 and June 2024, including unusual incidents involving military technology. Despite this, there remains no verified evidence linking such phenomena to extraterrestrial life.
Barack's original podcast remark also reignited speculation around Area 51, the highly classified US Air Force facility long associated with alien conspiracy theories.
But declassified documents have previously confirmed the site was primarily used for testing advanced aircraft, including the U-2 and Oxcart surveillance programs, with increased UFO sightings historically attributed to those high-altitude flights.

Mystery White House Worker Valerie Ransone Accused of Receiving Alien Messages During Richard Nixon Era
06 May 2026, 10:54 AM BST
Valerie Ransone, an elusive White House worker, is at the centre of renewed claims that she received messages from extraterrestrials, raising questions that remain unanswered decades later.
Valerie Ransone is described by researchers as one of the most mysterious figures in UFO history. Records suggest she worked in the White House during the Nixon administration, though not in a high-profile intelligence role.
Instead, she was reportedly linked to a domestic government programme, possibly tied to social services.
The White House Worker Few Can Identify
Yet despite her seemingly ordinary position, Ransone appears to have moved in extraordinary circles. Witness accounts place her frequently inside the White House, interacting with influential figures.
However, concrete documentation about her role remains scarce, fuelling speculation about whether her official duties masked something more unusual.
Her name surfaces only in fragments, often through second-hand accounts, taped recollections, and the writings of UFO researchers.
Attempts to trace her biography have largely failed, with some claiming she is still alive but deliberately staying hidden.
Claims of Alien Messages
According to testimonies from individuals who claim to have known her, Ransone believed she could communicate with extraterrestrial beings.
She allegedly described herself as capable of 'channelling' information from non-human sources and passing it on to scientists and officials.
One striking claim is that she predicted a rocket failure in the late 1970s that later occurred. While such claims remain unverified, they have contributed to her reputation as a figure operating on the fringes of science and the unexplained.
There are also accounts of a strange encounter in which a man approached her with detailed knowledge of her life, before playing a recorded message from a supposed extraterrestrial entity.
The voice allegedly invited her to take part in a mission involving human contact with alien intelligence.
Critics argue that such stories resemble classic Cold War era paranoia or psychological manipulation. Supporters insist they point to something far more significant.
Links to Scientists and Secret Research
Ransone's story becomes even more complex when her connections are examined.
She was reportedly close to Gordon Cooper, a former astronaut known for his interest in UFO phenomena. She also appeared linked to experimental research groups exploring advanced energy systems and unusual technologies.
Some accounts tie her to laboratories and projects focused on radio frequencies, early energy weapons, and what is often described as Tesla-based research.
These were areas of intense interest during the late 1970s, when governments and private groups were exploring unconventional science.
There are also claims that she worked with or around individuals connected to intelligence agencies, including psychiatrists and scientists studying human interaction with unknown phenomena.
However, many of those approached for comment have reportedly refused to speak, adding to the sense of secrecy.
Vanished Without Explanation
After a period of intense activity in scientific and UFO circles, she reportedly vanished without explanation.
Researchers claim that nearly everyone who knew her either refuses to discuss her or warns others not to investigate further.
Some suggest this silence could be due to personal reasons, while others believe it hints at something more deliberate.
Adding to the confusion, a video allegedly showing Ransone surfaced online, but those familiar with her insist it is not the same person.
Audio recordings believed to feature her voice only deepen the mystery, as they appear to match descriptions yet cannot be conclusively verified.
There is no confirmed evidence, only a tangled web of testimonies, speculation, and missing records.
