Pentagon Handpicked Friendly Journalists For Secret UFO Briefing as FOIA Lifts the Lid

The Pentagon has long been secretive about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, but newly released documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) now show just how tightly it controlled media access. Only a carefully curated list of journalists was allowed to attend an embargoed, invite-only briefing in March 2024, raising questions about who gets to cover one of the most mysterious topics in modern government history…Read More

Are Aliens Out There? …Or Even Here?

Special Guest Column By Captain Ron Janix

I’d like to revisit the idea of whether or not intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe—or, more importantly, whether or not it’s been here. I’d bet these two burning questions have been in the human imagination since we first developed rational thought…Read More

A One-Off Alien Signal Could Possibly Indicate Extinction

The initial undeniable occurrence of alien technology is most probably going to be a statistical anomaly.

UAP Photo Of The Week

The UAP Photo of the week, isn’t a UAP Photo per se, but a photograph hard to explain. This photo was submitted to The WOW! Signal by Tammy Nowacki of Chicago, who took it when staying inside her RV van parked in the driveway of a friend’s house. Says Tammy, “I saw the moon and thought it was beautiful, so I took a picture of it.

Yes, my windshield was dirty and it was starting to rain, but all I saw was the moon. This large, white, skull-looking thing on the left was not there when I took the picture!. Moment earlier, before I took this photo, I could see something in the sky going fast but I couldn’t get a picture of that. This photo is NOT AI and I promise you, I do not know how to photo shop. I thought it was a cool shot though.

I went outside again later that night, to see if I could find anything that looked like that, but there were no lights on or anything that resembled it. I even checked my neighbors’ houses to rule out that the white skull thing might have been glare. Oh well, I just wanted to share this with The WOW! Signal readers.”
