Authorities in New Mexico have identified human remains found in Carson National Forest as those of Melissa Casias, a 54-year-old Los Alamos National Laboratory employee who disappeared in June 2025. New Mexico State Police said Casias was found in the McGaffey Ridge area, roughly six miles from where she was last seen walking alone near State Road 518. A hiker discovered the remains, and investigators reported that a handgun was located nearby. Officials have not yet determined Casias’s cause or time of death, which remains under review by the state Office of the Medical Investigator.

Officials in the Pennsylvania community have reportedly voted down a controversial proposal that would have transformed the notoriously haunted Pennhurst State Hospital property into a massive AI data center. The plan, announced in early 2025, would have allowed the current owners to sell the site to a developer intending to demolish the existing buildings and replace them with a 1.9-million-square-foot facility. For residents, preservationists, and paranormal enthusiasts, the proposal was alarming from the beginning.

The Pentagon has released a new set of UFO-related materials describing reported sightings of orbs, discs, fireballs and other unidentified objects across roughly 80 years. The files include documents, audio recordings and 51 videos. They are the second batch released following an order from President Trump, after an initial release of 161 files on May 8. The Pentagon has said additional materials will be released on a rolling basis.

The White House, FBI, Department of Energy, NASA, and other federal agencies have been asked to review cases involving researchers and personnel who reportedly had access to sensitive scientific or national-security information. The House Oversight Committee has also requested briefings on what lawmakers described as individuals connected to “U.S. nuclear secrets or rocket technology” who have “died or mysteriously vanished in recent years.”

Gregg Phillips, current head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery, has drawn attention for a series of supernatural claims involving alleged teleportation events. Phillips has reportedly described the incidents during appearances on several podcasts, recounting experiences that sound more like paranormal events than unexpected travel mishaps.

Vice President JD Vance says he is deeply interested in the mystery surrounding UFOs, but his interpretation of the phenomenon is not the standard extraterrestrial one. During a March interview with political commentator Benny Johnson, Vance said he had been “obsessed” with UFO files since taking office and still intends to investigate what the government knows about unidentified flying objects and unidentified aerial phenomena.

The sudden disappearance of retired U.S. Air Force Major General William “Neil” McCasland has sparked concern among investigators and national security observers. McCasland, 68, vanished on February 27 around 11 a.m. after leaving his home on Quail Run Court in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Despite a large search effort involving the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, authorities have not determined where he went or what happened.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will direct federal agencies to begin releasing government files related to aliens and unidentified flying objects—an announcement that has immediately reignited speculation about long-awaited UFO disclosure.

Lara Trump has claimed that former President Donald Trump has a prepared speech ready in the event extraterrestrial life is confirmed. Speaking on the Pod Force One podcast hosted by the New York Post, Lara Trump said she has heard that her father-in-law has a speech drafted that would address “some sort of extraterrestrial life” at what she described as the “right time.” She noted that when she and her husband, Eric Trump, previously asked him about UFOs, he “played a little coy,” fueling speculation that more information could exist.

A congressman involved in the federal UFO investigation says the Trump administration has quietly approved access to secret military facilities long rumored to conceal evidence of non-human intelligence, as speculation grows about a possible UFO disclosure that may—or may not—take place around July 8.

What happens when artificial intelligence stops talking to us and starts talking to itself? That question is no longer theoretical. This week, a strange new platform called Moltbook appeared online—a Reddit-style social network designed exclusively for AI agents. No humans allowed to participate. Only to watch. Within days, tens of thousands of AI bots flooded the site. They posted. They argued. They comforted each other. They mocked humans. Not because a human told them to, but because that’s what emerged when AI was left alone with other AI.

A fresh UFO claim is making the rounds, and it comes with everything you’d expect: secret insiders, a historic date, and a former president allegedly sitting on the biggest revelation in human history. The claim comes from British filmmaker and musician Mark Christopher Lee, who says President Donald Trump has already written a speech confirming that humanity is not alone, and that it’s scheduled to be delivered on July 8, 2026. There’s no official confirmation, but that hasn’t stopped the story from igniting debate among UFO believers, skeptics, and political observers alike.

In 2025, a Germany-based UFO reporting group recorded its highest number of sightings on record, logging 1,348 reports from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and several neighboring countries. The total continues a steady year-on-year rise in sightings since 2019, a trend that has accelerated as more people notice and report unusual objects in the sky. While the figures may seem extraordinary at first glance, researchers emphasize that most of these reports have ordinary, Earth-based explanations.

A Pennsylvania man is facing more than 500 criminal charges after authorities say they discovered more than 100 human skeletal remains inside his home, following an arrest at a cemetery earlier this month. According to authorities, the man allegedly broke into mausoleums and gravesites multiple times at Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Yeadon, Pennsylvania. He was arrested at the Delaware County cemetery after police reportedly found him in possession of a bag containing human remains, including skulls and the remains of children.

The idea is seductive: take the moments that haunt us—the trauma, the grief, the sharp memories we wish we could forget—and replace them with something warm, comforting, and false. A better childhood. A gentler ending. A memory that never happened, but feels real enough to soothe the ache. It’s the premise behind films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Total Recall, once firmly in the realm of science fiction. But according to neuroscientist Professor Steve Ramirez of Boston University, this kind of memory manipulation may not remain fictional for long.
