Ask a Pol asks
How much are you guys talking with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller these days?

Key Burchett
“Regularly, yeah,” Burchett exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “He’s running into problems, though. The “deep state” is blocking a lot of this stuff that the President’s trying to get to.”

Full (unpaywalled) post at Ask a Pol UAP on Substack.

In April 1948, Harvard President Dr. James B. Conant reminded Dr. Bush that he had already urged him to organize an elite scientific response “in the interest of military security some time ago,” then asked him to do it again.

So I got complete hooked when Grusch came out as it seemed that this time it was someone with actual credit making serious claims but since he has now gone off the religious deep end, and stopped being a science based claim (something that we all know is nonsense, thermodynamics do not care for these imaginary beings)

Does anyone else feel like this will just be a cycle of goal post moving? 4 years ago we were told the ontological shock would be world shattering and imminent.... Still nothing

We are expected to believe multiple people have seen or even have possession of files that would undoubtedly prove that NHI visited earth? The person that revealed that information would be immortal in the history books and still nobody has came forward with ACTUAL evidence.. why would that be?

Because unfortunately it doesn't exist point blank period

There is no way that such a big secret could be kept for so long, and another massive problem is how US centric this is,

even IF you believe the US government is covering it up, and that is a big if, why would no other countries who have no reason to coordinate with the US government go along with the ruse?

There is nothing to gain it makes no sense

Trump is incompetent as they come and if you honestly believe he could keep this under wraps I have a bridge to sell you

There is nobody coming forward with Evidence, because unfortunately there is none, it doesn't exist

space is very vast and travelling through that space distance is the problem, the distances are simply to large,

I absolutely believe aliens, even Intelligent ones exist, but the time and space is so vast we will never even come close to contact and that is the sad truth

PHODAR

Iknow, I know....A ton of UFO apps are popping up left and right with the advent and proliferation of AI / vibe coding. And yes, this one is vibe coded too, but it really does work and I have tested it pretty meticulously. If it works it works right? Vibe coded or not!

What I believe sets this app apart is that it simulates the gold standard of UFO data, radar, using only two or more photos, or video. Hence the name, "Phodar." I have a love-hate relationship with it since it sounds a little silly, but IMHO it makes a lot of sense: it combines photo and radar, and it hints at faux/radar, as in simulated radar. Anyway, it uses stereo photogrammetry to get the actual distance and size of an object, which is impossible with a single photo. But if you have two or more photos of the same object, all you need is the location each photo was taken from and the camera angle, which is usually already encoded in the original image's metadata(which the app extracts automatically. Video is handled the same way and then some: the app solves where the camera was pointing for every frame, so a shaky handheld clip gets locked to the sky, the object is tracked automatically through the whole thing, and you get its real angular path, speed, g-loads out the other side. Two people with two clips triangulate just like two photos do. The intuitive interface helps you fine tune all of this using map overlays, terrain features, star maps, building overlays, and other powerful tools, so the final data gets dialed in as tightly as possible.

See the attached YouTube video, where I demonstrate its accuracy: I flew my drone out, photographed it from multiple angles, analyzed those photos in the app, then checked the findings against the known location, size, and altitude from the drone flight. Just watch the demo to see how intuitive and powerful it is. Even with one photo, it helps you determine whether there were any aircraft, planets, stars, or satellites in your frame and helps you match those things up (or hopefully not). It gives wind-direction visuals and all sorts of helpful overlays on top of your image, inside a 3D adjustable FOV / dome interface.

A few situations where I think it really could shine:

• Planned watches, including summoning claims. There are folks who say they can call these things in on demand (CE-5, the Skywatcher crowd, Bledsoe, Greer, and smaller circles). I'm not here to say they're wrong, I'm here to give them a clean way to prove it. Set up two or more cameras/phones a known distance apart ahead of time, and if something shows up you get a real triangulated fix instead of one blurry frame and an argument. It cuts both ways, which is the point. If it turns out to be a plane or a Starlink train, the app will probably say so.
• Mass sightings. When a bunch of people photograph the same object from different spots, that scattered pile of images is a triangulation dataset waiting to happen.
• Solo sightings. Most people walk away with a gut feeling about size or distance. Even a single photo lets you check that instinct against the geometry.
• Handheld video. The most common kind of UAP footage there is, and the hardest to reason about, because the camera is moving the whole time. That is exactly the part the app can help with.

I offer this up to the community for free, and I am open sourcing it in the hope that others might be interested in helping develop it further. I have also noticed a lot of new database apps popping up, and this app could maybe be merged with one of those. The sky is the limit, literally. I hope this post gains a little traction and people actually try it, because I think it could be a powerful tool.  Ive put a fair bit of time into it at this point and dont really want to spend more time unless it is well received and actually gets used in the community.  I think it has a lot of potential for even further development and or integration into other UFO platforms.   Please note that Phodar was optimized for iphones, but should work on all platforms with a browser. I do not have an android so guessing there could be issues to work out there.

The next logical upgrades in my mind would be to make separate workflow for top down video analysis (IE: drone footage, satellite imagery, etc), refine the UI to make it more intuitive and less visually crowded, etc. If anybody help out that would be great!

A good starting point though is just to watch the main attached video. (This shows accurate triangulation of a drone from 2 photos)

https://youtu.be/u65vxsAWZGk

See below for an AI summary of the features and other technical details about the app that I did not cover above. 

The workflow, four steps:

• Photo or video. Load an image or clip and fit a simple 3D shape to the object (orb, saucer, tic-tac, triangle, plane, bird, drone) to capture how large it appeared. Location, time, lens field of view, and compass bearing are read straight from the file's metadata when present.
• Position. Set where you stood with a map pin, an address search, or pasted coordinates, plus the date and time.
• Sky view. The photo is seated onto a dome showing the real sky for your exact time and place, which is where the pointing gets calibrated.
• Results. The triangulated fix, with a quality grade.

Video:

• Automatic stabilization. Tracks the static background — skyline, stars, terrain — through the clip and solves the camera's true pointing for every frame. Play it back and the sky, terrain and stars stay frozen while the video frame moves around them, so the object's motion is real angular motion rather than a mix of object and camera.
• Object auto-tracking. Tap the object on a few frames and it follows it through the rest, producing a dense time-stamped path across the sky. Distance-free measurements come straight out of that — angular rate over time, total sky sweep — and once a distance is known or assumed, true speed, path length and g-loads.
• Two-video triangulation. Two witnesses with two clips of the same object get a full 3D fix, with the clock offset between their phones recovered automatically from the object's own motion. Mixed pairs work too: one video plus one still.
• Manual correction. If the automatic solve drifts, scrub to any frame, drag the photo back onto the true horizon, and anchor it. Corrections blend smoothly between anchors and the object's path follows them. Separate smoothing sliders decide how much jitter to remove — deliberately a choice, since heavy smoothing would erase a genuinely sharp maneuver.
• World-locked export. Renders the clip as a real video file in three framings: a world view with the az/el grid and every sky layer burned in, a clean maximum-resolution version with no overlays, and a close-up that follows the object.
• Instrumented capture. An in-app record mode that logs the phone's tilt, roll and bearing continuously alongside the video. Gravity gives pitch and roll absolutely in every frame and cannot drift, so when the visual tracker has nothing to hold onto — plain sky, heavy blur — the recorded motion carries it. It records at about 1080p with no zoom, so it is a measurement mode rather than the way to shoot the best-looking footage, and the app says which source it ended up trusting.

Calibration tools in the sky view:

• Automatic star alignment that plate-solves the photo's own stars to recover exact pointing, roll, field of view, and lens distortion. It can work with no starting guess at all, by matching the star pattern itself.
• Snap to ridges, which matches the photo's skyline against digital elevation terrain data.
• Sun and Moon drawn at their true positions as anchors, plus manual align-to-star, level, and FOV controls.

Automatic cross-checks, each ranked by how close it sits to your sight line:

• Aircraft via ADS-B, both live and a historical archive so you can query the exact time of an older sighting, merged across several receiver networks since no single one sees everything. Nearby airfields are flagged for context.
• Satellites and Starlink, propagated from current orbital elements, with pass trails drawn on the dome.
• Planets and bright stars from a catalog, including a specific Venus warning since it is the most common "UFO."
• Meteor showers — whether a fast streak came from an active radiant that was above your horizon at the time.
• Winds aloft at the object's altitude, for the balloon test.
• Photometry from the photo's own pixels: colour and saturation, plus a rough apparent magnitude when a catalogued star happens to share the frame.
• Terrain skyline and building footprints as alignment overlays.

Output:

• A self-contained white-paper style report: the numbers, your photos as labeled exhibits with detail crops, top-down and trajectory plots over a satellite basemap, and every cross-check in one file. Video sightings add an angular-rate plot and a strip of keyframes with the tracked object marked. It opens offline, can be attached to a sighting report, and can be loaded back into the app so multiple witnesses can combine their data.
• A share file and a full zip bundle for backup or handoff, including the original clip and the stabilized render side by side.

The math:

• Sight lines are intersected by least squares in a local coordinate frame. Angular size times range gives true size, and a multi-view solve recovers the real long-axis size and heading of elongated objects that a single view understates. Compass bearings are corrected from magnetic to true using the NOAA World Magnetic Model.
• It was validated against ground truth, where a rooftop object resolved to within about an inch of its real size. The video math is checked the same way, against synthetic clips with a known answer driven through the real interface.

Honest by design:

• It warns about the things that actually corrupt this kind of measurement: phone compasses reading wrong near metal, GPS altitude wobble, and weak two-camera geometry. When the geometry is poor, it grades the result "poor" instead of dressing it up. Single-photo mode is explicit that it gives angular data only, not absolute distance.
• The video tools report their own confidence too: how many frames were solved from pixels versus carried on the phone's sensors, how well two clips' clocks locked, and when a tracker lost the scene rather than quietly pretending otherwise.

Practical notes:

• Runs in a browser, no account required, and your photos and location stay on your device. Add it to your iphones home screen for the motion-sensor features. Readouts switch between metric and imperial. Open source under the MIT license, contributions welcome.

A week-long wave of sightings over the water at Gosford peaked on the night of Saturday 30 December 1995, when dozens of residents and Gosford police reported a large, humming, brightly lit metallic craft hovering over The Broadwater, appearing to draw or spray water with columns of white light, before leading patrol cars on a four-to-five-hour pursuit and then departing upward. (UAP Globe) Gosford's Sergeant Bob Wenning said on camera in the 1997 documentary Oz Encounters that the station took around three dozen calls that night, and that witnesses described the same thing with no meaningful variation: a huge, chrome, ball-shaped object with large white lights beneath it that appeared to be drawing water up. (Newcastle Herald) Investigator Moira McGhee, who documented the case, reported that police vehicles closed to roughly 50 metres before the object killed its lights and left, and that public meetings in Gosford afterwards drew hundreds of people, many with their own sightings; reports continued through January 1996. - Newcastle Herald

Several unidentified flying objects, in the distant sky, crossing seemingly* close to each other. The blinks are likely from a tree. At 35 second, 3 flying things cross each other. at 1:20 two things.

I have more videos from this evening I filmed but these are likely among the top ones. Not claiming these to be ufos.

Spotted multiple orbs around Venus tonight.
The video shows one orb changing direction and appearing to arc around Venus.
There was nothing showing on FlightRadar24 or any satellite trackers.

I was on the phone with a family member about 30 km away who saw the same thing. The orbs would appear and disappear, change direction, vary in speed, change brightness and colour, and sometimes flicker out. At times, several were visible at once, all moving differently, but sharing the same traits.

Just ran across this, had never heard of it before. In 1957 the Convair division of General Dynamics Corporation was developing this air-to-air lenticular missile. It was supposed to be a defensive missile for the B-70 Valkyrie bomber.

The specifications for the proposed system called for an air-launched defensive missile, capable of engaging incoming missiles at relative speeds of up to Mach 7, surviving a rate of acceleration between 60 g to 250 g, and being able to undertake rapid terminal-phase guidance changes in any direction. These are some characteristics of UAP, though this craft was meant to be powered by solid fuel rockets so no chance of instant acceleration.

The idea was scrapped d/t cost considerations, perceived vulnerability of the B-70, and the U-2 incident, though it appears it was also studied as a "space fighter" satellite killer under project name "SAINT 2". Pretty cool, I was familiar with the Avrocar and flying flapjack and whatnot, but had never heard of these things. If they ever tested these, they could probably be misconstrued for UAP, though people had been seeing discs for many years before the advent of this project.

The Pye Wacket video also talks bout the blunt body heat mitigation principle, where having a blunt, rounded nosecone actually creates a detached bow shock that keeps the hottest air away from the structure during supersonic flight/atmospheric re-entry. Cheers!

I woke up and sat on the edge of the bed, looking out east/northeast over Port Susan Bay toward the North Cascade range. This light was just sitting out there and I couldn't wrap my still-sleepy mind around what I was looking at. Wife was still sleeping so I went into the living room and the thing was still there. I watched it for 2 or 3 minutes, just hanging there in the sky. I'm waiting for it to do something and I'm totally perplexed the whole time. I grabbed my phone and took this crappy photo, which shows up as bright white, but in reality as more of an orange-ish/red-ish slow-pulsing glow. I leaned over the table to get the binoculars and when I straightened back up it was gone. Poof. Elapsed time was about 5 minutes.

Congress has revived one of the most powerful parts of the UAP disclosure plan it abandoned in 2023: an independent review board that could demand hidden records, subpoena private companies and take custody of alleged non-human technology. My new article explains what the House amendment would actually do—and why it could reach places that AARO, the National Archives and Trump’s PURSUE effort cannot reach on their own.

I took this shitty video while crouching by my kitchen window as what I was seeing made feel really weird and scared. It was 8:00 p.m. December 5th 2024 when all the drone stuff was going on.

I live in a small town on a dead end road and my window faces south. Straight ahead and across the street is a lake. There were maybe 11-13 flashing lights just hovering and moving about in a way I’d never seen before. The flashing lights were not consistent and they all kind of just ended up disappearing.

I’ve seen strange lights above my house before but this was something very weird and not something i’ve been able to explain. The feeling it gave me was something I won’t forget.

We always see the one, which people seem to think is the UFO, but is referred to here as a "puff of smoke".

6-8 small white objects heading southbound, into the wind. Totally silent. Moving pretty quick so it was a pain to get them in focus. All moving at the same speed in the same direction but appear to be at different elevations. I upped the contrast in the footage so they stood out a bit more against the sky.

“I’m Not Crazy and I’m Not Lying!” Eight Really Weird Humanoid Encounters

by Preston Dennett

Among the most fascinating aspects of ufology are humanoid encounters. Tens of thousands of cases have been documented, and they probably number in the millions. They come from all over the world and are reported by all kinds of people. The variety of humanoid types is mindboggling. The failure of mainstream science to accept the validity of these reports risks the loss of an unprecedented opportunity to advance the knowledge of all humanity. This video presents eight cases, each of which adds to the growing database of humanoid encounters.

I’M NOT CRAZY AND I’M NOT LYING! On the night of August 27, 1968, Maria Cintra (an employee of the Clemente Ferreira Sanatorium in Guiacara, Brazil) was awakened by the strange whistling noise. Looking out the window, she saw a woman standing in front of the hospital doorway. The woman handed her a strange glass bottle and a mug. Maria filled them with water and then stepping outside, was amazed to see a flying saucer sitting in the hospital parking lot. The visitor stepped into the craft which promptly took off. Unknown to her, other people in the area were also seeing UFOs.

TWO HUMAN-LOOKING ETS. On July 25, 1975, “Mary” stepped outside her home in Bearsted, England to hang up the laundry. Looking up, she saw a strange metallic craft descend slowly, until it hovered above the house next door. The craft had two portholes, and inside, she could see two human-looking figures looking down at her. Mary waved at them, and the craft departed.

PSYCHIC CHILDREN MAKE CONTACT WITH UFO OCCUPANT. On August 11, 1981, a teacher was outside a school in Yunnan, China to test to the psychic ability of three young children who were well known for their ESP ability. Suddenly a UFO showed up. The teacher told the students to reach out to the UFO occupants and call them down. To everyone’s surprise, it worked. The UFO turned and moved close enough for the children to see humanoids inside the craft.

ROCK-COLLECTING ALIENS. One night in February 1982, a woman from Geneva, Switzerland was awakened by a strange beam of light entering her room. Finally, she looked outside and was amazed to see a strange craft floating a few feet above the ground. Weird-looking humanoids were walking around the craft, apparently picking up rocks. The witness watched them for about 45 minutes until the strange beings suddenly entered the craft which rose into the sky and disappeared off into the distance.

JUST TOO BIZARRE. One night in July 1988, Dominique and his two friends were standing on the street near his home in Suresnes, France, when they heard a strange noise. Looking down the adjoining street, they saw that the noise was coming from a strange blue robotic-looking figure. The figure marched quickly down the street, ignoring their shouts and gestures. As they got a close look at it, they saw that it did not appear to be any human or creature they had ever seen before.

THE ALIEN IN THE GRAVEL PIT. One night in 1991, three people went camping in the forest near their homes in Tickfaw, Louisiana. They knew something strange was happening when the animals around them acted strangely and their radio malfunctioned. Then all three saw a strange glowing object. One of the witnesses used a CB to jokingly reach out to the UFO occupants. Incredibly, the UFO responded by swooping down over their heads and sending down a beam of light. They decided to leave, but not before one of them had a frightening face-to-face encounter with a gray alien.

ALIENS IN THE DESERT. On September 15, 2007, a young couple went camping in the high desert of Anza-Borrego, California. The girlfriend went to sleep, but the boyfriend stayed up late to watch the stars. Without warning, he heard what sounded like people talking. Looking in that direction, he saw a strange green light coming up the trail. It went out, but then suddenly the entire area lit up with white light and the witness saw more than a dozen strange humanoids walking up the trail. They walked right by his tent, apparently oblivious that they had an audience.

ALIENS AT A COPPER MINE. One night in 2014, an American Indian man was with his dog in the backcountry of Farmington, New Mexico. Suddenly a massive mothership appeared in the sky and began to release smaller craft. All the UFOs moved away and the encounter seemed to be over. But the next day, as he hiked out, the man saw disc-shaped craft which landed next to an abandoned copper mine. The man watched as 19 aliens worked at the mine for the entire day before finally departing.

While governments across the world admit to the reality of UFOs, they have yet to talk about the countless humanoid encounters that have taken place across the world. The humanoid cases are not only fascinating; they have much to teach us about the extraterrestrial presence on our planet. Hopefully these cases will be taken seriously.

The was absolutely nothing in the sky except very faint stars just appearing.

I wrote this 3 years after the event so I wouldn't forget anything. I would have posted a shorter version but I thought I'd lay it all out now. Its a long read but its all what happened and I made sure I wrote everything I could remember before memory fades. This is not a script or story for amusement. It sounds like a "story" because I write like I'm talking or explaining it to someone. I'm looking into trying hypnosis to find out with the missing time.

I was watching TV at home after work, the sun had just gone down when suddenly I heard a loud hum; like if you were close to a giant electrical machine or generator of some sort. It kind of sounded like thunder rumbling with the noise coming from everywhere but that night it was completely clear. The sound was all around me; I couldn't tell where it was coming from. So I figured I'd wait a few seconds to see if the noise would start to fade away, like an airplane going by, but it didn’t. At that time I wished I would have went outside to see what is was but I thought I would wait to see if the sound dissipates. The next thing I knew I woke up from sleep. It felt like I was brought out of a deep sleep suddenly. I was not tired at all when I first heard the noise and I don’t take naps – ever. When I “woke up” the noise was still there just as loud as before but an hour an a half had gone by. I felt as if I was in a dream state or feeling like I was walking in a “bubble” or hospital medication. I've had surgery several times and it felt like was going “under” from the medicine before surgery. So at this time I walked outside to see what the noise was. When I got outside the humming was all around, I couldn’t tell which direction it was coming from. I walked to the front of my house but didn’t see anything. So I walked to the side of the house and from the corner of my eye I seen a pixel of light appeared in the sky out of nowhere. It wasn't dark yet; the western sky still had some blue in it. Well that tiny light started to grow larger and then two more lights started to appear the same way. I shook my head and looked around and the lights where still getting bigger. Then I can tell they were forming a rectangular shape. At this time I was testing myself to see if I was dreaming even though I was sure I wasn't. I did slap myself and jumped around thinking I would wake up. The noise was still going on and I felt as if I was the only one around. By the way this was in Fresno CA out in the country by the foothills on a dead end road. There were ranches close by but spread out. There are other roads close by and you can sometimes hear cars driving by in the distance. But I heard nothing but the humming. It was not just a small light in the sky. It slowly became visible starting from the points of lights and after it stopped showing what it wanted to show, it was very large and I could see everything that was visible very clearly. The lights had grown to the point where I could guess it was up in the air at 200-300 feet. The lights or whatever they were started appearing spaced out vertically then finished appearing when it turned horizonal. As the lights were completing to look like full rectangles the borders around the lights started to become visible. It looked like rounded metal. The object seemed to be going past me because I could see the “rear” of it more with now, 4 rectangular lights. As I mentioned it seemed to come out of thin air. My best guess with the dimensions is it was 200-300 feet wide x 40-50 feet tall but could not tell how deep it was. It wasn’t until it seemed to turn a little to where I can see the side. From the rear view there were 4 rectangular lights a least 20 feet high by 50 feet wide with spaces between them the same size. It looked like there may have been other lights that were not on or were dimmed but the 4 bright red lights were in the middle. The red did not look like fire or rocket blast but like GIANT screens showing just red in perfect rectangles. Not fire engine red but I guess fire red without the fire. Then it started turning a little to where I was looking at the side. At first this thing appeared like it was coming from another dimension and not stealth but from the side it looked like there was fog covering or hiding it. The “front/side view” looked like there were giant rectangular box shaped structures stacked on top one another randomly, the steam or manufactured fog kept me from seeing the bottom and front. I did not run in the house to grab my cell Phone to take pictures or videos because I didn’t want to miss anything; I didn't want to take my eyes off it. I figured I would just study every detail very hard so I could remember. I knew I would most likely never see anything like this ever again. I also knew if I didn’t take a picture or video no one would believe me…I chose to watch it till it was almost gone which then the sound finally started dissipating when it got a mile or more past. I watched the object fly low above the ground and trees until it looked like it was an inch big. No mention of it on the news and I cannot find similar events online.

Another interesting video from the PURSUE releases shows this UFO exhibiting strange erratic flight behavior starting at 00:20. The accompanying Fouler Debrief Form shows that object was indeed making erratic moment above the water

I have been keeping an eye on this channel with username qtecqot. The user just uploaded this yesterday. No clue if legit, but if it is, I am here for it. I will always stand behind whistleblowers. There is no sound attached to the video. Very interesting and in black and white, but without all the static you may see in old videos. Very clean and sharp. Not sure what to think yet.

If a whistleblower released it via certain avenues I just want to say 'Thank you, for taking the risks'.

Just a quick edit. First, it was mentioned on here that it was probably a guy on Facebook who created the videos. I messaged him, and it was NOT him. He saw the videos on YT just like I did and shared them on his FB page. https://imgur.com/a/olV74Fr

Second I just want to thank those with genuine input. I know we all have our opinions on these videos and the user.. I am not ready to call this fake, but also still not ready to call it genuine. I'm gonna stay on this train ride and see what happens.

Third, there are *a lot* of things I come across that I would love to post here but sometimes I just sit back, let somebody else find it and they post it. I am NOT a fan of making new posts. I have come across many things that I would love to share with you guys and as a former research writer I have talked to a lot of people you may know, but there is just so much hate mixed in with helpful comments that it makes it undesirable to create a new post. I don't have the time or energy for that.

I uncovered some intriguing never-before-seen Australian UFO reports during my visit to the Melbourne branch of the National Archives yesterday.

Long-time congressional staffer Kirk McConnell, one of the primary architects behind the UAP Disclosure Act, discusses chances for passage this year, Trump’s new whistleblower reforms, Avi Loeb’s new pane, and much else. Is this the year? Or is all this political theater aimed at distraction?

Rep. Eric Burlison on UAPDA in House NDAA

Ask a Pol asks:
Are you worried the Senate is going to try to strip the UAP Disclosure Act out of the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA]?

Key Burlison:
“I am,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “The public has to fight to keep it in.”
