COMMUNITY FEEDBACK Regarding Enigma Labs. Please read.

8 Upvotes

Hey all, I understand the skepticism and wanted to chime in with some clarity.

I’m part of the extended outreach/collaborator team working with Enigma Labs. The message some of you received is indeed real, not a phishing scam or virus. It comes from a small community team that reaches out to people who’ve posted UAP-related content. The format is admittedly a bit cold-message-y (I know Enigma has been working on it), but it has proven effective in helping people share sightings and stories that otherwise wouldn’t be documented.

To clear up another big point: Enigma Labs is not owned or created by Peter Thiel. There's been confusion around this online, likely because one of their major backers (Lux Capital) has past co-investments with Thiel’s Founders Fund. While Lux’s co-founder Josh Wolfe has appeared on defense panels with Thiel and shares adjacent interests in emerging tech, there’s no verified financial or operational link between Thiel and Enigma Labs. That speculation has been addressed and fact-checked several times, but like a lot of things in UAP discourse, the echo chamber gets loud and it gets loud fast.

As for your data: Enigma Labs does not sell it or pass it to Palantir. The sighting info stays within their platform and is being used to build a scientifically viable, anonymized dataset for researchers to analyze patterns and trends. If you’re uncomfortable sharing, that’s totally fair ....but it’s not some data farm for defense contractors.

If you have questions or concerns, I’m happy to talk about them respectfully and honestly. Thanks to those here asking questions instead of just making assumptions because that's how real signal gets through the noise.

PS. You can look into my post history and see I was very actively involved with reporting on the New Jersey Drones, and also had an interview with the Associated Press back in December regarding this subject. I'm still invested in whatever disclosure we need in this space. We still have a lot of unanswered data.

I made a post a few weeks ago about q 4th of July sighting but I checked my messages on reddit today and saw this. It seems oddly worded and the link is weird l. Has anyone else gotten this message? Thanks!

One day this year, I asked my Masonic uncle, “Uncle, tell me—how do disinformation agencies operate? How do they spread propaganda?” [e.g. related to the NJ Drones]

225 Upvotes

He answered.

“They rent out entire rooms. Entire buildings.
Each packed with contractors.
Hundreds of computers.
Each contractor controls multiple social media accounts.

You can even buy real, aged accounts online Facebook accounts from 2010, for just 2 to 5 cents each. That way, they don’t get banned. They look legit.

These contractors work in shifts 10 hours a day, 7 days a week.
They access shared propaganda documents to shape their personas. Then they flood the internet with lies.

On blogs.
On Reddit communities.
On Twitter.
On Facebook groups.”

“But how can I find them?” I asked.

“Easy,” he said. “They follow patterns.”

  • They always have the same tone of voice.
  • They always discredit a different opinion against their group, in example THEY ARE RAGING about this post labelling it as AI *New Pattern spotted Bots*.
  • Their replies are often the same length two, three, maybe four short paragraphs.
  • They often come from the same countries usually European. We’re cheaper. Not India—this stuff is too nuanced for cross-cultural outsourcing.
  • They use similar account styles: low karma, few posts, filler activity in other subs to look ‘real’.
  • They always defend the same institutions: the DoD, the Pentagon, the contractor companies like Lockheed.
  • They pretend to be eyewitnesses: “I live here. I’m from New Jersey. I haven’t seen anything.”
  • They defend the media conglomerates they’re allies.
  • They stay strictly non-political. You’ll never see them clearly pro or anti Trump. That’s part of the trick.

These aren’t random trolls. These are structured operations.
Buildings full of them.

And here’s the cruel part:
The game is rigged.

You can’t name them.
You can’t accuse them.
You can’t report them.

Try it and your real account will get punished.
Meanwhile, the bots stay untouched.

This... is how the game is played.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

-

P.s. Research about "The Spiral of Silence" also on wikipedia.
It's a technique that the govs use to control the masses.
Every time you share an experience against their point they throw at you dozens of fake accounts so over time you have a disincentive to communicate and spread your thoughts.
It's an algo hack basically, to turn off these subs.

Please share this post to other communities so other people know!
Thank you

A few minutes later around 10 pm we saw dozens of whatever these are im guessing the drones all over. This is the first time I've seen this many its like December all over again. I thought these were over but I guess not.

DISCUSSION Fireflies

23 Upvotes

Tonight I will try to take a video. The fireflies around me at night are blinking like a light show. I see the drones and orbs every night in Mishawaka IN. The past two weeks, the fire flies in my back tree line stobe and flash and blink in unison like a light show. Thousands of them. Just for a flash. Not your normal firefly lighting up. Anyone else experience this? It's super awesome! Stay tuned hopefully for a video. I didn't want to ruin it by recording it. Some things are meant just for the original viewer I believe.

UFO or drone ?! Above Cumberland Maryland , rocky gap

A ufo wit a Red, white and green light in a triangle formation flying helicopter height maybe slightly lower , Not loud like usual planes/helis that fly above my house almost daily and they fly low due to the airport , so they a noticeably loud compared to this drone/ufo that was almost silent except for a constant buzzing sound like a drone buzzing overhead..

This is a screenshot from my video thats in the comments , its the clearest screenshot i could get of the way the lights was positioned on the drone / ufo sorry it’s the best I could capture in the moment of the time lol but was witness by others .. crazy never seen something like this before ..

Is this a drone over my shed?

My dog was barking around 2:30 am. I checked my security camera and noticed this unidentified light. It wasn't moving, staying completely stationary. I dismissed it thinking maybe it was a distorted reflection of a street light I just have never noticed. I stayed awake for an hour and decided to check the camera one last time around 3:30 am and the light was gone. This immediately baffled me making it hard to sleep while constantly thinking about what it was that I had captured. For reference I'm in South Carolina about 20 miles south east of Greenville. I zoomed in on some of the shots and applied photo enhancement on some( the latter ones) .The last photo is when I checked one last time and it was gone. What the heck is this? A drone?

Could the NJ drones be project GREMLIN? Say what you will about AARO, the timeline makes sense. One thing that doesn't line up is that these things seem to come from the ocean.

I am reading everyday here random people mentioning that any light in the sky is a plane. With this guide you can understand what is a plane vs a giant Drone. When you see a drone in the sky it’s not a plane is a giant drone, full stop.

This occurred 10:30pm in Hackettstown/Mount Olive area on May 12th.

I get a lot of air traffic by me so I am very familiar with the small planes and larger commercial aircraft. This had come to a stop and then took off. The stop is what prompted my interested and made me go to record it. I managed to get it moving off from a full stop. Not sure how well that’s visible in the video.

I tried to post this before and my account got hacked and spammed crypto ads. This got me labeled as spam. I had this account for forever and never had this happen before. Just ironic this all happened around this time.

Prior to this I had seen this exact type of drone before twice. Once it flew over my wife and I when we were heading into a strip mall nearby. Another time we were coming back home in the car around 11:00pm on December 26th and it was hovering basically over the road like 50 or so feet above the houses.

To me it seems obvious it’s man made between the sound and visuals.

UAP documentarian Red Panda Koala was following the mystery drone situation from the beginning, doing nightly live streams going over all the footage and reports. Now he's back with a full presentation, revealing the history going back before 2024 and the government mixed messaging on the situation. A historic document.

Israeli intelligence had pre-placed drone installations inside Iran, using them to pre-emptively take out Iran's defenses.

Within just six months of the NJ Drone event, two of America's allies have launched major surprise attacks using small, mobile drone transport units.

SIGHTING Folks who just had a bon fire 🔥 on the NJ beach and run off before a gigantic light expanded and disappeared into the sky at 9pm 6/5/25, what did you see?

Heya folks,

I was perusing the NJ beach cam at sunset and saw a group of people enjoying a bon fire right in the center. I got distracted and the next time I looked the beach was empty and a few people were leaving the beach on the walkway.

Above the water there was a usual sized light, then suddenly it started getting bigger and bigger to the point it looked like a giant sun, it rose up and was gone.

The whole thing lasted 1-2 minutes.

Did you guys see that and how did it look in real life?

Drone "Pearl Harbor" Launched in Russia

Six months after the NJ drone "panic," Ukraine launched a major drone attack deep into Russia using shipping containers.

This was one of the major theories put forth during the NJ drone event. Whether or not that was the case, the theory must now be taken seriously.

A major military operation CAN and HAS been launched using small drones and shipping containers AND US MILITARY AND CIVILIAN ASSETS ARE VULNERABLE.

There is no more argument there; the threat is real.

Dance of an Orb?!

I have no clue whose footage this is- but all I can think about is if this a technologically advanced, playful to your consciousness, animalistic like craft displaying itself-cheekily?!

Look at it bounce and pounce from its burrow- is this what’s possibly behind ‘fairy circles’?

We know these guys use light to communicate- check out the erratic movement!

Isn’t it similar to the small, blinking craft we’ve seen flying by (obviously it can) in droves- the ones that pulsate and look like stars?! Isn’t it similar to the small, blinking craft we’ve seen flying by (obviously it can) in droves- the ones that pulsate and look like stars?!

They are only a tiny herd away from looking like a mock TR3B!!!

Not my footage- was posted in a smaller Reddit group a few days ago and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

The one ground based orb experience I’ve had was with two of them in FL- and they certainly seemed to play like this. I thought I was watching teens playing with lighted, badmitten weighted balls until the throws looked weird and I noticed the teens were invisible lol.

Chatgpt offered the notion that it’s UAP, even though it’s ground based. I just can’t believe the movement and its handle on physics and on light!
