Spacewalkers Back Inside Station After Science Hardware Work
May 27, 2026 4:36PM
Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station at 4:23 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, lasting 6 hours, 5 minutes.
Kud-Sverchkov and Mikayev finished their major objectives, including collecting two completed science experiments and installing a new one.
They removed a microorganism study from the exterior of the Poisk module and retrieved a cassette from the Nauka module containing data on how semiconductor materials form in microgravity.
The crew also installed a device on the Zvezda service module to measure bursts of solar radiation from solar flares.
During the spacewalk, the duo photographed one of two Kurs rendezvous antennas on the Progress 94 cargo spacecraft that failed to deploy following its March launch to the space station.
After collecting the imagery, they secured the antenna with a tie‑down for future dynamic operations.
This was the second spacewalk for Kud-Sverchkov and the first for Mikayev. It also was the 279th spacewalk supporting space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.

A Shift in What’s Shaping U.S. Landscapes
May 28, 2026
The land is always changing, sometimes by human hands: cities are built, farms expanded, and forests logged. Other changes lie mostly outside people’s control: wildfires burn through communities, and hurricanes reshape coastlines.
For most of the past four decades, observations from the Landsat satellite record show that humans have dominated changes to the U.S. landscape. Recent research revealed a shift in that trend, suggesting that disasters might be catching up.
In a NASA-funded study published in Nature Geoscience, scientists analyzed nearly 35 years of data from NASA/USGS Landsat satellites to better understand what has been shaping the continental U.S. landscape.
The researchers, led by former Landsat science team member Zhe Zhu, found that “human-directed disturbances” like logging, agricultural expansion, and construction have declined, while “wild disturbances” like wildfires and hurricanes—disasters that can be influenced by human activity but are not controlled by people—have risen in frequency and intensity.
Robert Emberson, associate program manager for the NASA Disasters program and not affiliated with the study, said that understanding the forces transforming the U.S. landscape is critical for future planning.
“If you know what’s causing them, you can begin to plan around disasters,” Emberson said. “Any understanding of causal factors impacts the adaptation strategy.”
This research is especially useful for policymakers working to prepare communities for resilience, he said.
For example, a region expecting to see increased wildfires could strategically perform prescribed burns, remove brush or dry grass around homes, and construct new buildings with fire-resilient materials.
Between 1988 and 2022, 18 percent of the land area in the continental U.S. was disturbed at least once, the researchers found.
Adding repeated disturbances, the cumulative area disturbed rises to almost 700,000 square miles, equivalent to nearly one-third of the continental U.S.
Humans drove more than half of that change, clearing or developing over 446,000 square miles of land—that’s bigger than the size of Texas and California combined.
For example, the animation above, composed of Landsat images from 1985 to 2025, shows the expansion of Reno, Nevada, into a previously undeveloped desert landscape.
1/2
Meanwhile, wild disturbances—disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, and landslides—drove much of the remaining change, transforming more than 165,000 square miles of the continental U.S.
The Landsat images in the animation below show areas burned by wildfires in Eldorado National Forest west of California’s Lake Tahoe from 1985 to 2025. Major fires in 1992, 2014, and 2022 cleared large swathes of forest, leaving behind bare ground that slowly reforested.
Although human activity has disturbed a larger cumulative area than wild events, the trends over time are moving in opposite directions. That is, land disturbance caused directly by people has been decreasing, while wild disturbance has been increasing.
Specifically, human-directed land disturbances decreased by nearly 232 square miles (600 square kilometers) each year over the course of the study period. Researchers attribute this change to declines in construction, agricultural expansion, and logging, likely brought about by a combination of policy changes, technological improvements, and the 2008 financial crisis’s effect on construction.
In contrast, land affected by wild disturbances increased by more than 77 square miles (200 square kilometers) per year. Fire, drought-related stress, and wind disturbances all became more frequent, likely due to climate warming and other environmental factors, the study authors wrote.
“What this study basically tells me is that what we've been doing is not working,” said Ramakrisna Nemani, a retired NASA scientist and co-author on this study. “We have to go back and come up with new strategies on how to deal with these natural disturbances.”
The study’s findings drew on the deep archive of Landsat data, which has long been a key resource for detecting change on Earth’s surface. Think of it like a “spot-the-difference” game.
Historically, identifying differences between images required scientists to manually identify the source of the change; for example, using ground observations combined with satellite imagery to determine whether a bare spot resulted from wildfires or logging.
For this study, scientists trained a new machine-learning algorithm to do that differentiation work for them.
They fed the algorithm 40 years of land-change data acquired by satellites, manually inspecting and identifying changes at 50,000 locations. After a decade of work, they developed a product that achieves more than 75 percent accuracy across most disturbance types.
The resulting product details the causes of disturbance across the continental U.S. over the course of nearly 35 years. With this information, communities can analyze the past to better plan for the future.
“The USA is entering a new era of disturbance,” the study authors wrote. “The challenge now is to transform our relationship with disturbance from one of control to one of coexistence.”

Tech Force is helping NASA find specialized workers
May 27, 2026 6:54 pm
The Office of Personnel Management’s tech hiring initiative is giving NASA a major boost in acquiring top-tier talent to help solve some of its hardest and most critical problems.
NASA Force, which the space agency launched in March, already has a pool of 600 qualified applicants it’s looking to potentially hire into temporary positions to help move some of its most important programs forward more quickly.
NASA Force serves as a pipeline from OPM’s Tech Force program to give the space agency access to uniquely-experienced and specialized industry workers — something NASA has been pursuing for a while.
NASA Chief Human Capital Officer Kelly Elliott said the program works in a complimentary way with the agency’s traditional hiring mechanisms, but it gives the organization access to a workforce it’s found more difficult to attract.
“What NASA Force allows us to do is to bring folks in for a one to two year period of time where they can immediately solve some of our complex challenges, and someone that we may hire that’s earlier career may not have the skills and the ability to do that,” Elliott told Federal News Network’s Terry Gerton in a recent interview.
“It’s about partnering individuals who have a proven ability to solve complex challenges, who have an incredible set of expertise and who can immediately hit the ground running in mentoring our folks and bringing them to the next level.”
Elliott said NASA had wanted to pursue industry exchanges for years to help give career workers know-how and perspective they can’t get in government.
“We also think that it’s important for someone, and a really great opportunity for someone who doesn’t want a federal service career for 20 to 30 years to come in. This could be actually really pivotal for their career as well,” she said.
1/2
Elliott said they were especially targeting workers in cutting-edge technologies, pointing to nuclear engineering as an example.
“Nuclear engineers may not have the opportunity to come and work at NASA for 20 to 30 years on our incredible missions, but coming for one to two years would allow us to really [benefit] from their expertise and really help move our projects forward,” she said.
Tech Force functions to not only amplify recruiting, but to do it with speed. Elliott said a recent posting for an aerospace engineering role garnered 2,400 applications in five days.
“I think that Tech Force not only is our marketing arm, but… under [OPM] Director Scott Kupor’s leadership, they’ve opened some doors for a broader industry partnership in really talking to industry about our country’s and the federal government’s need to solve some really complex challenges,” Elliott said. “They’ve brought forward industry training that folks in Tech Force and ultimately in NASA Force will benefit from.”
Tech Force is also helping NASA identify the best applicants for the new program. Elliott said they’re not doing any less thorough of a review of applicants than under normal hiring, and they’re utilizing leadership and expertise from within their own organizations to make determinations.
“As we partner within a human capital workforce, or, with our team, we partner with subject matter experts to really, really analyze the person’s background, not only looking at resumes, but participating in an interview process,” she said.
“So, we don’t anticipate bringing anyone in that we’ve not fully vetted by the other experts because it takes oftentimes an expert to be able to ask those really hard questions and really to identify the true experts that we need to bring in.”
NASA is far from the first government agency to pursue exchanges with industry, nonprofit or educational organizations. Elliott said she’s got a variety of models to draw from, including the Department of Defense’s industry exchange program.
“I think this group of individuals that would come at NASA Force would fit in and would be a civil servant employee as part of our workforce,” she said.
“They would be a part of the team. There would be no barriers for what they could work on, what intellectual property we could share with them.”
“We would like for them to be a part of a cohort. We’d like for them to benefit from the things that OPM is building as part of Tech Force.
But we’d love for them to learn from each other and for us to kind of use that as a core set of individuals to get feedback, as innovators, to help NASA, not only for the projects that they’re doing, but to help us change our culture long-term,” she said.

FAA grounds SpaceX’s Starship after booster malfunction
5:49 PM ET May 27, 2026
NATIONWIDE — The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Wednesday that it is grounding SpaceX’s Starship after its booster malfunctioned during its 12th test launch.
On Friday evening, May 22, SpaceX conducted its 12th flight test of its Starship and Super Heavy booster. (When they are stacked together, they are jointly called Starship.)
Minutes after takeoff from SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, the Super Heavy booster separated from the uncrewed Starship.
It was supposed to fire off its engines, but they did not relight, and it crashed into the Gulf, where originally, it was supposed to have a water landing.
“Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster performed a directional flip maneuver and attempted its boostback burn. It was unable to light all planned engines and performed a partial boostback burn that ended early.
Super Heavy attempted to reignite its engines for the landing burn before experiencing a hard splashdown in the Gulf of America,” SpaceX explained.
There were no reports of people being injured or damage to public property.
The FAA stated that it is requiring SpaceX to conduct a mishap investigation.
“The FAA will oversee the SpaceX-led investigation, be involved in every step of the process, and approve SpaceX’s final report, including any corrective actions,” the agency stated.
Starship will be allowed to fly again once the FAA concludes a complete review of the incident.
This is not the first time the FAA grounded Starship. Last year, Starship was grounded after the upper stage lost communications and, as SpaceX stated, a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” happened.
During Starship’s first launch attempt in April 2023, it exploded and the FAA issued a string of conditions before the Texas-based company could try again, which included 63 corrective actions.

Saga – Security and cryptographic mission
May 28, 2026
ESA / Applications / Connectivity and Secure Communications
Cybersecurity attacks can severely compromise the integrity of information shared between two parties.
To address this challenge, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Saga mission aims to deliver a secure space‑based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system for institutional communications.
The Saga mission will include a satellite as a part of a broader space and ground system, complementing the quantum communication networks currently under development across European Union Member States as part of the EuroQCI initiative.
Saga focuses on the in-orbit demonstration of a secure, space-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system, together with the validation of a non-classified service.
Within this framework, Saga will develop, mature, and demonstrate operational capabilities for secure space- and ground-based QKD technologies, preparing them for future classified applications and contributing to the establishment of a European quantum-secure communications infrastructure.
By validating these capabilities, Saga will contribute to strengthening the resilience of Europe’s digital infrastructure and support the protection of sensitive institutional data.
It is possible to generate cryptographic keys between two actors using the principles of quantum mechanics. Quantum bits are the fundamental units of quantum information.
Unlike classical computer bits, which can only exist as 0 or 1, quantum bits can exist in multiple states simultaneously. In QKD, these quantum bits are usually encoded onto individual particles of light, called photons, allowing encryption keys to be exchanged securely.
Any attempt to eavesdrop on the photons changes their quantum state and leads to irregularities that can be detected.
Saga is developing an advanced security proof – namely a rigorous mathematical framework for assessing the security of the system.
Over the years, several attacks against QKD systems have been developed, taking advantage of the gaps between the ideal assumptions used in security proofs and the behaviour of real hardware.
To reduce these weaknesses, Saga’s security proof will clearly take these hardware limitations into account and include them in the security framework, helping make the system more robust.
Unlike other ESA-led quantum missions, such as Eagle-1 and QKDSat, which focus on commercial quantum communication services, Saga targets primarily institutional services.
The Saga mission supports the broader European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI).
EuroQCI is an initiative by the European Commission to answer Europe’s need for sovereign and secure communications.

Russia boosts drone defense amid Ukrainian attacks on civilians
Updated 28 May, 2026 16:30
The Russian State Duma, the lower house of parliament, has approved legislation authorizing the central bank and major financial institutions to deploy armed personnel to counter Ukrainian drone attacks against civilians and infrastructure.
Ukrainian drone raids against Russia have intensified over the past year, with hundreds of UAVs targeting residential areas, critical infrastructure, and industrial facilities. Russian officials have called the strikes terrorist attacks.
Last week, Ukrainian kamikaze drones struck Starobelsk Professional College in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic in three waves, hitting the main building and student dormitories.
Twenty-one people were killed, most of them teenage girls training to become teachers; another 65 were injured in what officials described as a double-tap strike on first responders.
The week prior, Russian air defenses repelled a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow and the surrounding region. More than 12 people were reported injured in the capital; three people were killed and another six wounded in Moscow Region.
In response to the deadly school attack, Russia launched a massive strike on military targets in Ukraine, using Oreshnik, Iskander, Kinzhal, and Zircon missiles, along with cruise missiles and attack drones.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the strikes targeted Ukrainian military command facilities, air bases, and defense industry enterprises, adding that no attacks were conducted against civilian infrastructure.
Under the new law, armored transport and cash collection crews from the Bank of Russia and Sberbank would be granted authority to neutralize unmanned aerial, naval, and ground vehicles, as well as other automated drone systems.
The measures can be used to repel attacks and prevent threats against protected facilities, employees, and civilians on site. The law would authorize personnel to jam or alter drone control signals, disrupt operator communications, and disable or destroy unmanned vehicles if necessary.
The bill still requires approval from the Federation Council and President Vladimir Putin.

US Officials Meet Zelenskyy in Kyiv to Discuss US-Ukraine Drone Deal and Urgent Air Defense Aid
Updated May 28, 2026 13:26
Following last week’s massive Russian aerial assault on Kyiv and other regions, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with US Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Jim Himes in Kyiv, the Office of the President of Ukraine reported on May 27.
The meeting focused on securing urgent air defenses and discussing a looming wave of Russian military mobilization.
Despite intensified Russian strikes and Kremlin attempts to intimidate foreign embassies into evacuating the capital, the bipartisan delegation reaffirmed Washington’s unwavering diplomatic and intelligence presence.
While Ukraine has successfully seized the battlefield initiative and improved its strategic positions over the past year, Zelenskyy warned that civilians remain highly vulnerable due to a severe shortage of advanced air-defense interceptors.
To address the crisis, Zelenskyy confirmed he has sent an official letter to the White House and the US Congress requesting the immediate fast-tracking and timely allocation of anti-ballistic missiles, primarily through the PURL initiative.
“Even the PURL program, which is working, does not fully help,” Zelenskyy stressed to the lawmakers, according to the Office of the President. “Our people are not safe, above all civilians, because of the big deficit of anti-ballistic missiles.”
During a detailed intelligence briefing, Zelenskyy outlined the heavy toll that Ukraine’s front-line defenses and long-range asymmetric strikes have taken on Moscow’s military capabilities.
While both sides face challenging conditions, the Office of the President noted that Russian forces are suffering immense personnel losses and experiencing deep systemic strain.
Zelenskyy warned the delegation that the Kremlin is growing increasingly nervous and is expected to launch another large-scale military mobilization inside Russia to compensate for its battlefield failures.
To counter this upcoming wave, Zelenskyy emphasized the urgent need for Western partners to demonstrate uninterrupted funding, arms shipments, and political solidarity.
The leaders also discussed tightening economic pressure, with US lawmakers advocating for aggressive new sanctions targeting Russia’s oil and gas sectors to deplete Moscow’s war chest.
The summit also focused heavily on a bilateral “Drone Deal” framework currently being negotiated between Washington and Kyiv.
Senator Blumenthal praised Ukraine’s innovative drone defense systems, noting that the technological and tactical lessons Ukraine is teaching the world are extraordinarily valuable.
Zelenskyy revealed that Ukraine has already established formal Drone Deal formats with several partners in the Middle East and remains fully committed to expanding this cooperation with the United States.
“Immediately when we received messages from the Middle East that some US military bases needed support, we were open to it and immediately sent our teams to assist,” Zelenskyy stated.
Concluding the meeting, Zelenskyy called for an intensification of global negotiation processes, emphasizing that there must be no pause in active diplomacy because Ukraine, the United States, and the world urgently need a stable peace.
This bilateral “Drone Deal” is underpinned by Washington’s increasing adoption of battle-tested Ukrainian defense software. The US military had previously integrated Ukraine’s “Sky Map” anti-drone system at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia to help protect American facilities from Iranian-designed Shahed attacks.
Developed under Ukraine’s Brave1 tech initiative, the platform synthesizes multi-source radar and sensor data into a real-time tracking dashboard.
Ukrainian personnel have deployed to the base to train US forces, utilizing Kyiv’s combat experience to bridge critical structural gaps in American air defense networks.

Iran avoids US sanctions via ship-to-ship transfers of oil, may receive payment for months - report
The ships receiving the oil are often part of Iran’s “shadow fleet,” a fleet of old, rusting tankers that obscure their owners and may switch their flags to those of countries with little oversight.
Iran has been evading US sanctions and the blockade using a system of ship-to-ship transfers in which sanctioned ships laden with Iranian oil offload their cargo onto another ship in the water before it is sent to China, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
The ships receiving the oil are often part of Iran’s “shadow fleet,” a fleet of old, rusting tankers that obscure their owners and may switch their flags to those of countries with little shipping oversight to conceal their identities. Ships will often turn off their tracking device and may paint over identity numbers.

Officers down drone carrying $1 million worth of drugs, syringes into Townsville prison
May 28, 2026
Prison officers have brought down a drone flying illicit drugs, syringes and a mobile phone into a north Queensland prison.
The incident at the Townsville Correctional Complex on May 17 is being investigated by Queensland Police and Queensland Corrective Services (QCS).
A QCS spokesperson said the drone was carrying an estimated $1 million worth of contraband.
Acting chief superintendent and prison general manager Silvi Baretta praised the officers who spotted the drone.
"This drone and its contents was stopped before it could threaten the safety of officers and prisoners," she said.
"QCS has zero tolerance for contraband and anyone attempting to operate a drone over correctional facilities faces two years' imprisonment.
"Not only does contraband pose a substantial safety risk, it threatens our ability to deliver meaningful and targeted rehabilitation.
Police are yet to make an arrest or lay charges over the incident but urge anyone with information about the drone to come forward.
Similar incident at prison
The Townsville Correctional Complex is south of the city centre in the outer suburbs.
A similar incident was reported at the same complex in 2022.
Officers found a drone that had crashed while carrying a package of methylamphetamine, tobacco, cannabis and 600 Suboxone strips.
The payload was estimated to be worth $250,000. A man was charged in 2023 with four offences in relation to the incident.

A US security company just tried to hack two DJI drones amid US drone ban – and failed
Thu, May 28, 2026 at 5:00 AM PDT
The US government has blocked drone giant DJI from receiving the FCC approval needed for new models to fly in the US.
But after the government-mandated security review of DJI failed to even start before the December 2025 deadline, DJI made a security review happen anyway.
On Thursday, May 28, DJI shared the findings from a five-month security review of two DJI drones.
The US security firm OnDefend has conducted an evaluation of the DJI Air 3S and Matrice 4E and found no evidence that data is transferred outside the US, while the team was unable to hack, jailbreak, or tamper with the UAVs.
The findings come amid an ongoing DJI lawsuit against the FCC over the ban and follow more than 3,000 public comments on the FCC’s drone proceedings, which DJI says is ten times the typical number of comments on similar FCC measures.
In December 2025, a law required DJI to pass a national security review by the deadline or face an automatic ban by the FCC.
That deadline passed without such a security review even starting, effectively blocking not just DJI’s drones but cameras, gimbals, and accessories from receiving FCC approval to launch new products in the US.
(DJI products launched before the ban are still available to purchase and use).
With US-based drone manufacturers focused on military and commercial uses, the ban effectively prevents new consumer drones from launching in the US until an American drone maker steps into the consumer market.
The ban impacts not only aerial photographers and videographers but also first responders, small businesses, farmers, and other drone users, according to the list of FCC comments.
Before that December 2025 FCC deadline even passed, DJI asked OnDefend for an independent security review, which began in October 2025 and was completed in mid-March 2026.
While the study was authorized by DJI, OnDefend is an independent security company whose staff includes US military and government professionals.
The consumer drone tested was purchased from a retailer without notifying DJI, while the enterprise drone was purchased from existing dealer stock.
OnDefend put the drones through a list of different tests, including analyzing signals for any unauthorized data transmission, simulating Meddler-in-the-Middle hacks, attempting jailbreaks of the drones' apps, and disassembling the drones to analyze each component.
The inspection did not find any critical, high, or medium risks.
The review identified 10 low-risk findings with “limited real-world impact” that are “consistent with industry norms for complex mobile and embedded systems.”
That list includes things like weak TLS protocols on the app and using authentication tokens in URLs. DJI says that those low-risk findings are being addressed with firmware updates.
“This is the most comprehensive independent security assessment ever undertaken on our products," Adam Welsh, Head of Global Policy at DJI, said in a statement.
"These findings confirm what DJI has consistently maintained: our products are secure, our data practices are transparent, and the concerns underlying our FCC Covered List designation are not supported by technical evidence.
We commissioned this independent assessment because we believe facts should inform policy decisions. We are calling on the FCC to consider these findings carefully as part of our ongoing appeal, and we remain committed to engaging constructively with relevant authorities."
The study suggests that there is no risk of DJI user data being sent to China, one of the concerns politicians voiced on the road to the National Defense Authorization Act that put DJI on the FCC-banned list.
However, the conversation on drone security has also shifted to highlighting supply chain concerns. Several critical drone components, including lithium-ion batteries and the magnets in drone motors, are sourced outside of the US.
The supply chain risk already has a handful of examples of what not being able to secure parts could mean for US drones.
Amid the pushback on US tariffs, China temporarily blocked the export of Li-ion batteries to US-based drone companies, which prevented brands like Skydio from getting the batteries needed for their drones. China later paused the export controls for a year.
The security review is only for two drones and their respective controllers and apps, but could play a role in DJI’s ongoing lawsuit in an attempt to reverse the FCC ban.

UK’s iconic Cerne Abbas Giant gets 'glow-up' after heavy rain | BBC News
May 28, 2026
The Cerne Abbas Giant, one of the UK’s most famous landmarks, is being rechalked after it's outline faded due to heavy rain and algae growth.
Located in Dorset, UK, National Trust staff and volunteers will carry 17 tonnes of fresh chalk up the slope to restore the 55-metre figure.
The giant’s latest “glow-up” comes just seven years after its last restoration, with conservationists warning changing weather patterns may mean it needs more frequent maintenance in future.

President Trump Speaks on ‘Extraterrestrial Things’ — Is an Alien Life Confirmation Coming?
May 27, 2026, 4:01pm
President Donald Trump once again caught the attention of alien life truthers (and Polymarket bettors) when he brought up extraterrestrials on Wednesday.
During an cabinet meeting that was open to media, Trump took a bit to reflect on the tenure of Tulsi Gabbard, the outgoing director of national intelligence.
In the wake of Gabbard’s announcement that she plans to resign and leave her position on June 30, the POTUS went through some of the information releases she led.
“People are very interested,” he noted with surprise.
While was referring to past releases in his comments, he did seemingly add one present-tense note to the end, saying, “We’re releasing all of that information.”
Trump did not specify when the government would release more UFO/extraterrestrial files. (It’s also very likely he was just speaking off the cuff or still referring the the past releases.)
Journalist Aaron Rupar amplified the quotes in question, with Fox News streaming the entire 80-minute session, if you’d like the full context.
Trump Commments Come Amidst Active Prediction Trades on the U.S. Government Confirming Alien Life
All this fuss about UFO files has sparked Polymarket to host a date-based market on the question “Will the US confirm that aliens exist by…?“
The odds are against any reveal happening in 2026, but the highest “yes” odds come by Dec. 31 with a 16% chance. Even with this new Trump comment (and that AI photo the other day)
Polymarket odds say that reveal is extremely unlikely to happen by May 31 or June 30. Odds slightly tick up for the Sept. 30 cutoff, but it’s still a longshot.
The resolution terms of the bet state that either “the President of the United States, any member of the Cabinet of the United States, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency” must make a “definitive” confirmation of “extraterrestrial life or technology” in order for it to resolve to “yes.”
While those Polymarket betters eagerly await word on alien life, we here at PopCulture.com recommend they watch some X-Files to fill their time. The truth is out there!

Congress Hits Contractor With Formal UFO Demand
23 hours ago
A sitting United States Congressman has now sent formal legal questions to one of the most powerful federally funded research corporations in United States, demanding answers about classified UAP records, recovered materials, and alleged crash retrieval programs. Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri, who sits on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and serves on the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, transmitted formal legislative interrogatories and production requests to The MITRE Corporation.
The acronym FFRDC stands for Federally Funded Research and Development Center, and these entities are private nonprofits that receive privileged access to classified facilities, sensitive data, federal programs, and government-funded research.
MITRE is one of the largest and most influential FFRDCs in the country.
According to the official statement from Burlison’s office, MITRE is being asked to disclose whether it currently holds, or has ever held, records related to UAP, anomalous aerospace or undersea events, recovered materials, technologies of unknown origin, and alleged legacy crash retrieval or reverse engineering programs. The inquiry builds directly on his recent letter to MIT Lincoln Laboratory, which focused on historical UAP records associated with the Beacon Hill Study and a specific reel-to-reel recording labeled AF-ATIC-FILM 03/52.
Reference to the acronym ATIC points back to the Air Technical Intelligence Center, the United States Air Force office that handled UFO reports in the 1950s.
Lincoln Lab was asked to identify, preserve, digitize, and transfer any responsive government-funded UAP records to the National Archives and Records Administration, also known as NARA.
The legal foundation behind the inquiry is the fiscal year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, which established a national UAP Records Collection at NARA under Record Group 615.
Federal agencies have been directed to identify, review, digitize, and transfer appropriate UAP records to that collection. This is federal law, not a recommendation.
According to recent reporting on statements from Congressman Tim Burchett, very important materials and knowledge have likely been transferred to private contractors where they are no longer subject to Freedom of Information Act requests and no longer accessible to congressional oversight. That allegation is exactly what the MITRE inquiry is now testing in writing.
As noted in the official statement, the interrogatories cover Special Access Programs, also called SAPs, Controlled Access Programs, national programs, and activities under Alternative Compensatory Control Measures, also known as ACCMs.
These are the most tightly held categories of classified information in the United States government, sitting above standard top secret classification.
The letter also covers classification guides, nondisclosure instruments, contractor-held federal records, sensor data, materials analysis, third-party relationships, budgetary mechanisms, and any internal disclosures or retaliation concerns related to UAP records or programs.
MITRE is required to designate a senior official to coordinate the response, issue a preservation hold so that no records get destroyed during the inquiry, provide a records location index, produce unclassified responsive records, identify classified or sponsor controlled materials, and coordinate a classified briefing for Task Force Members and cleared committee staff.
Burlison also issued a direct appeal to potential whistleblowers and named the exact protected channels they should use.
Reference to his statement points to the cognizant Inspector General, the United States Office of Special Counsel, the Government Accountability Office, the House Whistleblower Ombuds, and Member offices directly.
He emphasized that any classified information should only be transmitted through appropriate, secure, and lawful channels.
With Lincoln Lab already under inquiry and MITRE now the first FFRDC to receive formal legislative interrogatories, the Task Force is effectively mapping the full ecosystem of contractor-held federal records.
Other FFRDCs may receive similar inquiries in the weeks ahead.

William McCaslin Update: UFO-Linked General Met With Space Force Hours Before He Vanished in New Mexico
28 May 2026, 9:07 AM BST
The US Space Force is being linked to the UFO-related disappearance of retired US Air Force Major General William Neil McCasland and a leaked audio seems to concur with it.
A YouTuber broadcasting under the moniker 'DAHBOO77' has uploaded a compelling audio recording featuring an unnamed witness who was apparently one of the last people McCasland met before he disappeared.
This individual claims that the decorated commander held a highly unusual meeting with representatives from the US Space Force shortly before he suddenly vanished.
The revelation has injected fresh intrigue into an investigation that has already captivated both military analysts and alternative researchers.
The audio material allegedly stems from a formal police interaction in New Mexico. Local officers were recording their conversation with the witness who claimed to have shared a meal with McCasland on the very eve of his disappearance.
According to the unidentified woman, she worked directly with McCasland within the Kirtland Partnership, a prominent non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting and expanding the operations of Kirtland Air Force Base.
McCasland Was Not Himself
Based on how the woman described it, the nature of the dinner party was far from ordinary. She emphasised that McCasland exhibited distinctly strange behaviour throughout the course of the evening.
'I was shocked this morning when I saw the alert because what I noticed Thursday evening is he wasn't his usual self,' she said in the audio recording. 'He was kind of spacey and quiet, and you know that that happens with people.
So I didn't put anything with it… From what I understand is he left the house, his wife, didn't take anything, was on the running trail, and he was last seen at 11:00 yesterday.'
'He has a very classified security clearance,' the woman added. 'He was the head of Air Force Research Lab. I mean to the point the man's names are in the UFO documents that are fixed to be released.'
Something Happened During the Dinner
The YouTuber hosting the audio leak suggests that these developments provide a logical framework for an otherwise inexplicable mystery.
'DAHBOO77' argues that the recording strongly indicates an incident or disclosure took place during the dinner involving the US Space Force.
The narrator firmly suggests that whatever transpired during those hours is intrinsically linked to McCasland's subsequent vanishing.
Furthermore, the theory implies that the general's abrupt departure was not a random event but a direct consequence of that meeting.
'This conversation exposes that this man met with Space Force hours before he disappeared. This has everything to do with his disappearance if you ask me.'
'There's a reason this woman called and gave these details and that they're coming out now. The last people known to be around him in this secret conversation that took place during this dinner.
Apparently, he was spooked. As she said, he was not himself. And then just a matter of hours later, he leaves never to be seen again, taking nothing with him.'
As the investigation enters its third month, official updates from the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office and the FBI paint a complex picture.
Authorities confirmed that McCasland vanished from his home on foot on 27 February, leaving behind his mobile phone, prescription glasses, and tracking devices. Oddly, his hiking boots, wallet, and a .38-caliber revolver were missing from the property.
While his family notes he suffers from an unspecified medical condition and enjoyed hiking the nearby Sandia Mountains, the White House has reportedly launched a broader probe into his disappearance alongside other high-clearance scientists, keeping all possibilities on the table.

Alien Hunt Explodes: Drake Equation Rewritten as 10 Billion Rocky Planets Discovered
27 May 2026, 7:03 PM BST
There are few ideas in science that capture the imagination quite like the search for extraterrestrial life.
From Mars missions and exoplanet surveys to SETI's decades-long hunt for signals, researchers have steadily expanded humanity's understanding of the universe, moving closer to answering one of its most enduring questions: Are we alone?
Yet despite decades of investigation, no confirmed evidence of life beyond Earth has ever been found.
Scientists have examined a wide range of possibilities, from potential microbial life on Mars to unexplained radio signals and earlier claims of alien megastructures, only for subsequent analysis to rule out or significantly weaken those interpretations.
Now, however, the statistical picture may be shifting. Astronomers estimate that there could be around 10 billion rocky, Earth-like planets in the Milky Way alone.
This does not mean those worlds are inhabited, but it does significantly expand the number of environments where life could potentially emerge under the right conditions.
Why the Drake Equation Matters
The new estimate feeds directly into the framework of the Drake equation, the well-known formula introduced by astronomer Frank Drake to estimate the number of technologically advanced civilisations that might exist in the Milky Way galaxy.
While the equation has historically contained large uncertainties, many of its components are now becoming more measurable thanks to advances in astronomy, including improved star counts, exoplanet detection and better understanding of planetary formation.
What makes the latest estimate important is not that it changes the equation itself, but that it refines one of its key variables: the number of potentially habitable rocky planets.
The more Earth-like worlds scientists identify, the more robust the statistical argument becomes that life may have had multiple opportunities to arise elsewhere in the galaxy.
What Counts as Earth-Like
In scientific terms, 'Earth-like' does not mean an identical twin of our planet.
Instead, it generally refers to rocky planets that are similar in size, mass and composition to Earth, and that orbit within a star's habitable zone — the region where temperatures may allow liquid water to exist on a planet's surface.
Even within that definition, however, habitability is not guaranteed. A planet can sit within the right orbital zone yet remain entirely lifeless due to atmospheric conditions, radiation levels, geological inactivity, or the absence of key chemical ingredients necessary for biology to begin.
This is why astronomers distinguish between potentially habitable worlds and confirmed biological activity. The former is now increasingly common in exoplanet catalogues; the latter remains unobserved beyond Earth.
1/2
How Life Might Begin
Scientists studying the origin of life generally agree that the transition from chemistry to biology likely requires a series of rare but not impossible steps.
Simple organic molecules must first form and then organise into more complex structures capable of self-replication, metabolism and eventually evolution.
From there, additional hurdles must be overcome. Life must survive environmental instability, avoid extinction-level events, and persist long enough to develop complexity. Only then could intelligent life — and potentially technological civilisation — emerge.
This layered chain of probability is one reason the search remains unresolved. Even if habitable environments are common, the emergence of life itself may still be extremely rare.
The significance of the 10 billion estimate is therefore statistical rather than evidential: it increases the number of 'chances' the universe has to produce life.
Best Places to Look
At present, scientists pursue three main strategies in the search for life beyond Earth.
The first focuses on the Solar System. Robotic missions continue to examine Mars for past or present microbial life, while icy moons such as Europa and Enceladus are considered strong candidates due to their subsurface oceans.
Venus, despite its extreme surface conditions, is also studied for possible chemical signatures in its atmosphere.
The second strategy involves exoplanet observation. Using techniques such as transit spectroscopy, astronomers analyse starlight passing through distant planetary atmospheres.
In the future, more advanced telescopes may allow direct imaging of Earth-sized planets, potentially revealing atmospheric gases such as oxygen, methane, or ozone — which, in certain combinations, could indicate biological processes.
The third approach is the search for technosignatures, meaning signs of advanced technology rather than biological life. This includes radio signals, laser emissions, artificial light patterns, or other indicators of engineered activity.
Programs such as SETI continue to monitor the skies for such signals, although none have yet been confirmed.
No Evidence Yet, But Stronger Odds
The key takeaway from the latest estimate is not that scientists are close to discovering extraterrestrial life, but that the statistical conditions for its possible existence are becoming more favourable.
As telescope technology improves and exoplanet catalogues expand, researchers are steadily moving from broad speculation toward increasingly testable hypotheses.
The most significant breakthrough would come with the discovery of a second planet confirmed to host life.
Until that moment arrives, estimates such as the 10 billion rocky planets in the Milky Way serve as an important reminder that the universe may contain far more potentially life-supporting worlds than previously thought — even if the question of whether they are actually inhabited remains unanswered.

Steven Spielberg tells Michelle Obama why he believes aliens could already be on Earth
May 27, 2026
WASHINGTON, DC: Hollywood director Steven Spielberg reignited America’s growing UFO disclosure debate this week after telling former First Lady Michelle Obama that he believes it is “mathematically and scientifically impossible” that alien life does not exist, adding fresh momentum to a conversation that has increasingly moved from fringe speculation into mainstream politics, Hollywood, and government discourse.
The comments came as public interest around UAPs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena, continues to intensify following congressional discussions, Pentagon reporting, and President Donald Trump's pledge earlier this year to release government files tied to UFOs and extraterrestrial life.
Spielberg’s remarks did not present evidence of alien contact, but they added another high-profile voice to a national discussion now crossing political and cultural lines.
Steven Spielberg ties film to disclosure fears
While promoting his upcoming thriller 'Disclosure Day', Steven Spielberg agreed with former President Barack Obama's long-discussed position that life likely exists somewhere beyond Earth.
“Barack was right when he said that he believes there is life out there,” Spielberg said. “I think it’s mathematically and scientifically impossible that there isn’t life out there.”
But Spielberg made clear the bigger theme driving the movie is not whether alien life exists somewhere in the universe, but whether advanced civilizations may have already reached Earth.
“The big question remains: have they ever come here?” Spielberg said. “Or the other question is, are they here now? And that’s the question that my movie tries to answer.”
The director also linked the project to modern UAP discussions that have gained traction in Washington in recent years. Spielberg said 'Disclosure Day' was inspired in part by reports involving Navy pilots and infrared footage showing unexplained objects.
“It was a story about what Navy pilots had photographed on their FLIR systems,” Spielberg said. “There’s a lot in ‘Disclosure Day’ that I don’t really feel I needed to make up.”
He later added, “The truth is out there. And I think the truth is now here.”
UFO debate expands beyond Hollywood
Spielberg’s comments landed as political figures continue to fuel public curiosity about disclosure. Earlier this year, Trump said he would direct agencies to begin releasing files tied to “alien and extraterrestrial life” and UFO-related investigations.
At the same time, Rep Tim Burchett warned that Americans would be “up at night” if some classified information he has seen were ever released publicly.
“We just need to disclose it all,” Burchett said, while again suggesting the government has withheld information connected to UAP investigations.
Obama, however, has publicly tried to cool speculation despite acknowledging the statistical likelihood of life elsewhere in the universe.
After earlier comments about aliens gained traction online, the former president clarified that he saw “no evidence” during his presidency that extraterrestrials had contacted Earth.
“Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there,” Obama wrote on Instagram. “But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens are low.”
Still, Spielberg’s latest remarks underscore how UFO and disclosure discussions have increasingly shifted into the mainstream American political and cultural conversation ahead of 'Disclosure Day,' which hits theaters June 12.
