British MP: I Was ‘Definitely Misled’ on Five Eyes UFO Cooperation

Clive Lewis, Labour MP for Norwich South and a former shadow defence secretary, told Sol Foundation director Peter Skafish he was “definitely misled” after ministers wrote that the Ministry of Defence had not joined any international UAP grouping since May 2023. A Pentagon agenda for that month’s inaugural Five Eyes UAP Caucus listed the UK as a partner due to give an update; the MOD later confirmed two Defence Intelligence officials attended. U.S. Navy and New Zealand FOI emails show UK officers coordinating a UAPTF intro briefing in late 2021. Australia already had to reverse a 2023 denial that it attended the same caucus. Lewis is not ruling on non-human craft – he is saying the British public is being cut out of what the U.S. is already hearing. Full article →

Sharp: ODNI and FBI PURSUE Files Already Put UAP at White Sands

Christopher Sharp pushed back on claims that White Sands intercept reporting is empty: there are verified ODNI and FBI reports released under PURSUE of UAP witnessed at a location thought to be White Sands. He said he has asked ODNI and AARO repeatedly about an alleged UAP baiting operation there and gotten “zero response.” That does not confirm Coulthart’s shoot-down sourcing. It does put official, released files in the same stretch of New Mexico desert. Coulthart White Sands article →

Coulthart Posts the NRC Paper Trail Behind Johnson’s Nuclear-Plant Count

After the Reality Check interview, Ross Coulthart pointed viewers to declassified NRC records behind Daryl Johnson’s account. NewsNation’s episode page now states Johnson logged close to 300 drone and UAP flyovers at commercial plants from 2014 to 2025, with fewer than 1% traced to an operator – plus a December 2024 Surry, Virginia, case in which lights vanished and reappeared a mile away within seconds. Public ADAMS package ML24233A176 is Johnson’s own August 2023 email on adding UAP to flyover reporting guidance. Johnson article →

Loeb: Give Scientists a Gram of Crash Material – Videos Are Not Enough

Avi Loeb wrote that the five PURSUE tranches are still reports, images, and video – not enough to recover range, speed, or whether an orb is a drone, a laser spot, or something else. If crash materials exist, he said a mass of more than a gram would be enough to test extrasolar chemical and isotopic fingerprints, and that biological samples would be easier still. Testimonies are not a substitute for lab access. He again tied that to NDA waivers so whistleblowers can point scientists at the right vault. Council article →

Former NRC Analyst Tells Coulthart: Almost None of the Nuclear-Plant Flyovers Were Identified

Daryl Johnson, who spent about 15 years as a senior security analyst at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is the guest on Ross Coulthart’s latest NewsNation Reality Check. Coulthart says Johnson investigated drone and UAP flyovers at U.S. commercial nuclear plants and that the result is “gravely concerning” – almost all of those reports were never identified. Johnson’s book Unguarded Skies (June 28) is built on unclassified NRC records and FOIA. The public slice we already have: Liberation Times’ 22 NRC-to-AARO incidents from late 2022 into 2023, including a triangular object with a spotlight over Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna plant.

Knapp: Bigelow and Fugal Meet On Camera – First Time Since the Ranch Changed Hands

George Knapp previewed Mystery Wire Episode 4: Robert Bigelow and Brandon Fugal speaking face to face, the first time since Skinwalker Ranch changed hands in 2016. The segment was set to air Tuesday on 8 News Now and Mystery Wire after separate Bigelow and Fugal interviews earlier this month. No new crash-retrieval claim in the teaser – it is the two owners of the same Utah ranch, on the same set, comparing notes.
