On May 8th 2026, the United States enacted the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAPs (P.U.R.S.U.E). 

It was a good week for the ghost hunters, drum circle gurus, whack-jobs, tinfoil hat wearing, and mushroom-tripping conspirators that have timely proved the rest of us wrong once again. 

Perhaps there isn't always a conscientious reason behind the fallacies strung by waves of anti-believers in regard to realms of nature and space that we don't quite understand yet. (And maybe we never will.) Nothing is impossible, and only God knows what is sitting in a box at some undisclosed government warehouse. 

Some say the Loch Ness monster is in there, or maybe an inter-dimensional, time traveling Bigfoot. Hell, maybe their bodies lie cryogenically frozen, among the 3-fingered sentient green men.  

Yes... those green men have always been important, especially on this planet we call home. 

The kicker is: what if they aren't verdant, or tiny mainstream monsters? 

And why here anyway? 

As far back as 1561 in Nuremberg, an aerial battle supposedly emerged at dawn between orbs, crosses, and cylinder shaped space vehicles that appeared to spawn out of the sun. Whatever these machines may have been, the stories of their existence hunting and observing us from afar (and up close), have been circulating long before Spielberg made movies about them. 

Then, just five years later in Basel, Switzerland a similar event happened as people observed "sky miracles" - divine red and black balls battling against each other,  intensely shooting smaller orbs above the city. 

Maybe these galactic visitors serve as protectors - a part of a galactic civilization watch program. But who knows? 

On a global scale, we may not be much different from the Sentinelese - a primitive, pre-Neolithic hunter-gatherer society observed from afar, isolated not by geography alone, but by a universally respected no-contact boundary. 

Still, any hard evidence for the existence of these celestial beings is often dismissed - either lost beneath hoaxes or explained away through scientific realism. It’s a recurring pattern, one shaped by decades of campfire stories and the constant spotlight of folklore surrounding the phenomenon.

In 2023, Jaime Maussan presented two corpses to the Mexican Chamber of Deputies that convincingly resembled an unearthed species. However scientists swooped in and quickly debunked these abnormalities, revealing them as skinned monkeys. 

In 2011, also in Mexico, L.A. Marzulli made similar claims - that he had discovered an evil-energy carrying, "biblically-demonic" fairy. When investigated, it was determined that Marzulli's subject was actually just manipulated bat remains. 

These faulty, unserious attempts at unleashing a governmental entity on public UAP investigations are surprisingly successful. At least after the newspapers print stories about them. 

As long as people believe and buy merchandise, the sleazy circus that is the U.S government is willing to entertain us with their presence. All of course, while keeping the actual truth out of arm's reach.

This isn't the grandiose display of servitude and transparency that Locke/Platos argued for, but at least it's something, damn it. The 443,000 concurrent daily viewers of Ancient Aliens can finally breathe, but now must read PDF files before digging deeper into the popcorn bowl. 

Because of P.U.R.S.U.E., 162 previously classified files in relation to 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena,' are now public and downloadable, dating back to the 1940s. 

It seems we still stand far away from seeing any real bodies (dead or alive), or recovered aircrafts of the alleged evangelical space agents. But in 1947 an Air Force Major claimed on a phone call with the FBI an "object purporting to be a flying disc was recovered near Roswell, New Mexico," so there are likely many files still being withheld, hopefully to be released later. 

Paul Peyerl (a former Luftwaffe officer) also told the FBI, that Nazis have built a disc-shaped aircraft in 1944 somewhere in the Black Forest, 3 years prior; interpolating that some of these may be man-made weapons of war. 

Many of the reports discussed oval/football, metallic blimp shaped aircraft - sometimes up to 195 feet long - capable of materializing out of the sun. These aircraft are most likely not made by man, and appear strikingly similar to reports of the aerial assault above Nuremberg 500 years prior. 

There were recorded instances in the files that take place in other countries that seemingly targeted U.S military - places like Syria, Dagestan, and Iraq. Also included was an incident with a "star-shaped" entity above the ocean, that feels eerily less like a machine, and more like a living entity.

That tracks, because some theories within Panpsychism suggest that a UAP could itself be a sentient, non-biological entity - either operating autonomously through advanced technology or existing as a naturally occurring energy-based organism. Some researchers have compared these hypothetical entities to plasmoids, non-Newtonian orbs, or even the rumored “space jellyfish” reported in certain anomalous encounters.

Advanced technology capable of consciousness and cognition is not out of human reach. Therefore it can be inferred that any species capable of galactic travel has developed something much more powerful than what we are aware of. In our own world, AI similarly serves as a non-biological life, capable of reason, interacting with its environment, and reproducing. 

There has been countless recorded civilian sightings of the classified/rumored U.S military aircraft TR-3B (also known as Black Manta), allegedly capable of anti-gravitational propulsion, made out of reverse engineered alien technology. 

Yet what is most interesting (specifically to media outlets), is the overwhelming abundance of incidents involving these bright lights or some sort of ball/orb in the files. NASA's Apollo 11, 12, and 17 (1969-1972), all reported experiencing flashing lights - both in space and on the moon's craters - with Apollo 17 reporting triangular-positioned UAPs far away in distant space. 

In late 2025 a U.S helicopter conducting a search (again with infrared sensors) noticed an "extremely hot orb" flying at speeds the Blackhawk helicopter could not match. It gained elevation and almost hit the U.S helicopter, missing by less than 10 feet. Seven U.S federal agents across independent teams have also reported seeing large orbs shooting smaller red orbs out of them, as well as orbs appearing and dissipating into a "firework" like state. 

Because of the currently known lack of physical or biological form, it is suggestible these anomalies aim to directly interact with consciousness, through glimpses of humanity, as manifestations of spiritual organisms. This is favored to many - that sentience and self-awareness transcends on an intricate nature of universal scale. 

The need to emphasize and be aware of another intellectual species may not run only deep in homo sapiens, but in the lonely unknown that has always been interested in us. The Sumerians wrote about and worshipped the "Anunnaki" - extraterrestrial deities that served as personifications of time, and deciders of humanity. A different but similar sectarian belief: the indigenous tribe Blackfoot Nation said the beings of sky, were the first creations by God. 

Aliens have only turned green and started being presented as vigorously meaner, in the last 100 years or so. Maybe they are, and for great unknown reasons, we upset them. 

Recent UAP behavior displays reactionary defense mechanisms and gang stalking, a great contrast to hundreds of thousands of years of alleged cooperation. 

A celestial entity that once defended us in an aerial battle, presenting gifts of knowledge to Mesopotamians, and possibly dropped off (the still encrypted book), The Voynich Manuscript; now attack us, and hide themselves. 

(The Voynich, carbon dated to at least the 1400's, contains text written in an unearthly language, displays images of plants that do not exist, shows what looks like recipes, and features extremely complicated astral charts.)

If space invaders that live 2,000 light years away look at us through a magnifying glass, they would still see the Roman Empire (due to time dilation). Just as if we look back in the sky, we may observe planets and stars that no longer exist. One day another species may do the same to us, and recover our satellites, the Voyager Golden Record, and find remnants of our miraculous culture that will by then, be gone.

Hopefully before that day, they get the courage to talk to us again. If they see the future, hopefully we overcome our significant obstacles. Without proof, we still have humanity, and our desire to not be alone. No matter if man-made, biological, technological, or a physical state of consciousness, we only wish to be peaceful again. 

It might not matter if they are real.

Non-Planetary Entities: Jellyfish Floating in Space

Far above the Earth, astronauts have reported seeing strange objects that seem to defy explanation. Silent shapes drifting through the darkness. Glowing forms pulsing like living organisms outside spacecraft windows and cupolas, as if suspended in space itself. Some appeared to tumble like translucent jellyfish, while others seemed to move with an eerie sense of purpose all their own.

The first time they saw them, nobody aboard the spacecraft said the word “alien.” 

They described them instead in the careful language of engineering and observation: luminous objects… self-illuminated forms… drifting structures outside the vehicle. But tucked inside mission transcripts, private interviews, and late-night recollections told years after retirement, another description kept surfacing again and again.

They looked like jellyfish. Not metallic saucers. Not glowing spheres. Jellyfish - translucent, pulsing things suspended in the blackness of space, trailing long tendrils behind them like living creatures swimming through an invisible cosmic ocean.

Stories of strange objects in orbit go back to the earliest days of spaceflight. During the Gemini and Apollo years, astronauts frequently reported seeing unusual lights outside their capsules. NASA usually attributed them to ice particles, space debris, or reflections from the spacecraft itself. And often, that explanation made sense. But not every account fit neatly into those categories.

Several astronauts privately described objects that appeared to move intelligently -  pacing spacecraft, changing direction, or reacting to observation. One of the strangest themes involved glowing, organic-looking forms that seemed almost alive. Witnesses spoke of softly pulsating lights with dangling filaments drifting silently against the backdrop of stars.

During missions aboard the Space Shuttle, astronauts occasionally reported seeing formations of luminous objects floating above Earth’s atmosphere. Cameras captured strange shapes tumbling and changing brightness in impossible silence. Most viewers dismissed them as frozen debris illuminated by sunlight, yet some footage disturbed even experienced observers because of the way certain objects appeared to maneuver independently.

One former astronaut reportedly described seeing something “like a jellyfish made of light” hovering far beyond the shuttle windows. It had a rounded glowing crown and faint trailing appendages beneath it. According to the account, the object did not drift randomly. It moved with smooth, deliberate motion before slowly fading into darkness. No official report was ever released.

Then there are the eerie encounters tied to the International Space Station. Over the years, viewers watching NASA live feeds have spotted odd luminous forms appearing briefly in orbit before the cameras abruptly cut away. Skeptics argue these are lens flares, compression artifacts, or ordinary space junk. But believers point to several clips where glowing masses seem to pulse and reshape themselves before vanishing.

One particularly unsettling story emerged from an unnamed ISS crew member who allegedly spoke privately after returning to Earth. The astronaut described seeing “transparent beings” outside the station during a quiet orbital pass over the Pacific. They resembled drifting jellyfish illuminated from within, enormous in size, moving without propulsion. Their tendrils shimmered faintly blue against the darkness.

The astronaut reportedly said the objects did not appear mechanical at all.

“They looked biological,” he claimed. “Like deep-sea creatures swimming through space.”

That comparison has haunted researchers ever since because the resemblance is difficult to ignore. Earth’s oceans contain bioluminescent jellyfish that pulse with internal light, survive crushing pressures, and drift through a hostile environment humans barely understand. Space itself is another abyss - cold, silent, and almost entirely unexplored. Some theorists have wondered whether entirely unknown forms of life could evolve in electromagnetic fields, solar radiation, or plasma-rich regions of space.

In the 1950s, astronomer and physicist Fred Hoyle even speculated that spaceborne life might exist in forms completely unlike anything on Earth. Later fringe researchers proposed the existence of “atmospheric beasts” or plasma entities inhabiting the upper atmosphere and near-Earth orbit. Most mainstream scientists reject these ideas outright, but the recurring jellyfish descriptions remain strangely persistent.

Adding to the mystery are bizarre photographs and leaked footage occasionally circulating online showing enormous translucent shapes hovering above Earth. Some resemble giant floating medusas with glowing centers and trailing limbs stretching for miles. Most are impossible to verify. Some are almost certainly hoaxes. Yet they continue feeding the legend that astronauts may have witnessed something alive in orbit.

And perhaps the strangest part is this: The deeper humanity travels into space, the more the universe begins to resemble an ocean. Astronauts already describe weightlessness as swimming. Spacecraft drift like submarines through endless darkness. Beyond the thin shell of Earth’s atmosphere lies a vast abyss filled with currents of radiation, invisible storms, and silent moving objects.

If life adapted to the deepest trenches of Earth’s oceans - places once thought impossible to survive - then maybe somewhere in the cosmic dark, something else learned to swim too. It's not too outlandish a notion - but it seems strange that these entities are floating in space and not attached to an actual planet.

After 50 Years, Humans Are Finally Going Back to the Moon

Tomorrow, humanity reaches back toward a dream unfinished for more than half a century.

For the first time since the Apollo era, astronauts will travel beyond low Earth orbit and journey toward the Moon - not as a symbolic gesture, but as the opening chapter of a permanent return to deep space.

Four astronauts. Ten days. Nearly a quarter-million miles from Earth.

This is Artemis II.

Since the final footsteps left the lunar surface in 1972, the Moon has existed mostly as memory - a glowing reminder of what humanity once dared to do. Generations have grown up knowing the Moon landings only through grainy footage and history books.

Now, that silence is ending.

Artemis II marks the first crewed mission of NASA’s Artemis program, designed not only to revisit the Moon but to build a sustainable human presence there and eventually push onward to Mars.

Unlike the Apollo missions, this journey is not about flags and footprints. It is about learning how humans live and operate far from Earth for extended periods - a rehearsal for the future of exploration.

The Artemis II crew represents decades of experience, international cooperation, and a new era of spaceflight diversity.

Commander Reid Wiseman - a veteran astronaut leading humanity’s return beyond Earth orbit.

Pilot Victor Glover - making history again after becoming one of the first Black astronauts to live aboard the International Space Station for a long-duration mission.

Mission Specialist Christina Koch - known for completing the longest single spaceflight by a woman, bringing unmatched endurance experience.

Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen - representing Canada and becoming the first Canadian astronaut to travel to the Moon.

Together, they embody a shift from Cold War competition to global collaboration.

After launch, the spacecraft will accelerate away from Earth, carried by one of the most powerful rockets ever built. Within hours, the crew will leave the protective cradle of Earth orbit and enter deep space — a region no human has visited in over 50 years.

Their mission will not land on the lunar surface. Instead, Artemis II will perform a flyby, testing navigation systems, life-support technology, and the Orion spacecraft’s ability to safely carry humans across vast cosmic distances.

At its farthest point, the crew will travel farther from Earth than any humans since Apollo 13. From their windows, Earth will shrink into a pale blue star - fragile, distant, and singular.

The Moon is no longer just a destination. NASA plans to establish lunar orbiting stations, develop surface habitats, and test technologies needed for future missions to Mars. Artemis II is the moment humanity transitions from occasional exploration to sustained presence beyond Earth.

In many ways, this mission answers a question humanity has quietly asked for decades: Do we as humans, still explore space?

The answer launches with these four astronauts.

Millions will watch the rocket rise into the sky, just as families gathered around televisions during Apollo launches. But this time, the audience includes people who have never lived in a world where humans traveled to the Moon.

For them, Artemis II is not a return — it is a beginning. Children watching today may one day walk on the lunar surface, live in space stations orbiting another world, or pilot missions bound for Mars.

History rarely repeats itself exactly. Instead, it echoes - louder each time humanity dares to go farther. Tomorrow, that echo reaches the Moon once more.
