A UFO researcher claims NASA footage shows a 7-meter glowing object passing 25 meters from the International Space Station as a Dragon cargo ship arrived. The figures are only his estimates, the footage’s origin is unclear, and NASA has reported no dangerous approach.

- Rising lights over Popocatépetl: what did the volcano webcam record on the Day of the Dead? – On the night of November 2, a camera monitoring Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano recorded several points of light that appeared to climb through the sky. The lights start from the volcano’s summit, and the brightest of them trails a cloud-like plume. There is no official explanation.
- Where and when to listen? SETI turns to game theory to choose where to search for alien radio signals – Researchers at the SETI Institute used an idea from game theory to decide where to point their radio telescopes: toward the direction from which a distant civilization would see Earth pass in front of the Sun. A pilot survey recorded 1.9 million radio signals, all of them human-made. A four-year observing campaign is already underway.
- British airline pilot says he has seen mysterious lights over Europe six or seven times – Steve Frazer has been flying for 27 years, 20 of them as a captain. Since 2022, he has seen flashing points of light around Belgium six or seven times, most recently in October. He says they weren’t refueling aircraft, and he still hasn’t found an explanation.
- Three rotating lights over Gillette leave a UFO investigator stumped – A Wyoming woman has repeatedly filmed three lights rotating in a triangular formation over her small town since her family moved there this summer.

Classic cases
- The Tremonton film: swirling lights over Utah – In the summer of 1952, a Navy chief photographer filmed a dozen bright, swirling objects in the sky over Utah. Air Force and Navy laboratories spent months analyzing the footage and reached opposite conclusions. In September, the Pentagon released the complete case file.
- The Varginha ET: how a rainy afternoon became Brazil’s Roswell – In January 1996, three young women in a small Brazilian town saw a red-eyed figure crouching by a wall. Over thirty years, the story grew into a legend of captured creatures, a secret autopsy and American cargo planes. Meanwhile, the Army’s inquiry, and eventually the case’s first investigator, reached a very different conclusion.
- The "Tic Tac": What did the Nimitz pilots see in 2004? – On November 14, 2004, two U.S. Navy fighter jets were directed to an unknown radar target over the Pacific Ocean. The pilots saw a white, wingless, pill-shaped object that, according to them, disappeared from in front of them at astonishing speed. The Pentagon officially released the infrared video of the incident in 2020, and still considers the object unidentified.
- Black triangles over Belgium: from the gendarmes' night to the F-16s – In the late afternoon of November 29, 1989, two Belgian gendarmes near Eupen followed a huge, dark triangle with a bright light shining at each of its three corners. This was the start of one of Europe's best-known UFO waves, during which the air force also scrambled fighter jets. Many of the reports were later given earthly explanations, and the most famous photo turned out to be a hoax, but some cases remain disputed to this day.
