Aliens Explored

John Lennon, May Pang and a mysterious UFO over New York City. In August 1974, Lennon reported seeing an unusual, silent object close to his Manhattan apartment. Pang corroborated his account, and the pair attempted to photograph what they were witnessing. Unfortunately, the film came back blank. In this Aliens Explored solo video essay, Stu examines Lennon's original testimony, the reference...

Haim Eshed is talking again. Six years after the former Israeli space-security chief claimed that governments were already in contact with extraterrestrials and a Galactic Federation, he has resurfaced alongside Uri Geller and continues to stand by the central claim. He also describes unidentified men coming to his apartment and questioning him about scientific subjects — an encounter Geller conne...

September brought another sizeable batch of UFO/UAP developments — but one in particular stands out: the Pentagon wants access to a vast archive of historical UFO research held outside government. Stu examines what AARO is seeking, why old civilian case files may matter, the latest PURSUE release, new scientific attempts to obtain better measurements of unidentified objects, newly released Navy co...

PURSUE Tranche 6 mixes Project Blue Book history, AAWSAP research, modern military sensor footage and local law-enforcement material. Stu has gone through the release and selected three documents and three videos that most deserve a closer look — not because they all point towards the same explanation, but because each reveals something interesting about how UAP evidence is recorded and interprete...

Before Roswell became synonymous with UFOs, wartime pilots were already reporting strange objects and lights in the skies. Stu and Neil trace the beginning of the modern UFO story from the Second World War’s “Foo Fighters” through Kenneth Arnold, the birth of the flying-saucer era, Roswell, Project Sign, Project Grudge and into Project Blue Book. Along the way they ask how much terminology and pop...

What does genuine progress in UAP transparency actually look like? Stu and Neil review the UFO and UAP developments that mattered in August 2026, beginning with David Grusch’s increasingly specific claims about alleged recovered craft and the photographs and video he says he has seen. Against that, a new analysis of 112 government-released PURSUE sensor videos highlights a very different problem:...

Scientists Jacob Haqq-Misra and Ravi Kopparapu have analysed all 112 PURSUE UAP sensor videos released so far — and their new preprint identifies a fundamental difficulty in working out what some of the footage actually shows. Stu examines PR113 and its remarkable “bird or Mach 5?” range of possible interpretations, PR149 and the useful reference provided by a ship in frame, and GOFAST as an examp...

A strange metallic obstruction found beneath an ordinary Tallinn garden in 1969 eventually became Object M — one of the more unusual UFO mysteries to emerge from the Soviet era. Stu looks at what was reportedly discovered, why Soviet scientists became interested, and the 2017 analysis that identified a supposed surviving fragment as likely ordinary industrial ferrochrome. There is, however, one cr...

41 newly released UAP files. Sixteen videos. Three images. Twenty-two documents. But is there anything genuinely new? Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly examine PURSUE Tranche 5 , separating what is genuinely interesting from what is merely unexplained. The newly released footage may not provide the extraordinary evidence many were hoping for, but the historical documents tell another story: US government...

The fifth tranche of records from the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) has been released. Before Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly sit down to analyse the wider Tranche 5 material, we're doing something simpler: presenting the newly released video material without comment. No instant reactions. No conclusions. No attempt to tell you what you're looking at. Aliens Ex...

What were the biggest UAP developments of July 2026? Stu examines AARO’s delayed annual report, a Navy account involving approximately 100 airborne UAP off the Virginia coast, the new UAP Science Advisory Council, the reported NDA waiver and the House adoption of a potentially significant disclosure framework. The episode also covers the latest PURSUE records release, UAP research within the Naval...

Aliens Explored is six years old. To mark the anniversary, Stu looks back at six of the most important developments in the UAP story since 2020—from the Pentagon videos and the first ODNI assessment to congressional hearings, David Grusch, NASA, disclosure legislation, AARO, PURSUE and the latest debate surrounding UAP nondisclosure agreements. After six years of reports, hearings, investigations...

What do people in the UFO world actually mean when they call for “disclosure”? In the first episode of UFOs for Beginners , Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly explore the different possibilities—from government file releases and acknowledgement of unexplained UAP incidents to recovered craft, non-human biological evidence and direct contact. Stu presents eight potential levels of disclosure, while Neil as...

The headlines say Trump has waived UAP non-disclosure agreements—but the reality is much more nuanced. In this breaking news discussion, Stu and Neil explore what the reported directive actually means, why it matters, and why it may—or may not—change the future of UFO disclosure. What do you think?

PURSUE Tranche 4 has delivered another collection of government UAP videos, images and documents—but are we witnessing genuine progress towards disclosure? Stu selects the reports he believes are most significant, including historical intelligence assessments, incidents near nuclear facilities and objects reportedly observed by experienced military personnel. Neil remains sceptical. Are these file...

Official UAP videos and still images from PURSUE Tranche 4 / Release 04 , presented without commentary, analysis or interpretation. This special Aliens Explored video presents the released visual material cleanly, so viewers can examine it for themselves. Please note: “Unresolved” does not mean “extraterrestrial” — only that no definitive identification has been made from the available information...

Serving police inspector Roy Teague joins Aliens Explored to discuss his book Close Encounters of the Police Kind , a collection of UFO and UAP accounts from British police officers. Get your copy at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H5WH1F8X Why might police witnesses matter? Are trained observers more reliable when it comes to extraordinary sightings? And what happens when those witnesses fear ridi...

June 2026 brought another wave of UFO and UAP stories — from new PURSUE / Pentagon UFO files to disclosure politics, whistleblower claims, Spielberg’s Disclosure Day , religion, government secrecy, and even a World Cup alien abduction prediction. In this Aliens Explored video episode, Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly discuss what mattered, what was merely interesting, and what still needs much stronger...

Neil responds to Stu’s video on the PURSUE UFO files — and he has plenty of questions. Are these releases meaningful evidence? Are some of the files being padded out? Does the apparent transmedium UAP/USO case deserve deeper investigation? Why are these files being released now, and in this way? And is Disclosure really happening step by step? In this episode, Stu and Neil discuss the Western US c...

A Brazilian psychic has reportedly predicted aliens, UFOs, a mothership, abducted footballers, thousands of missing fans, and reptilians at Brazil v Scotland. So naturally, Aliens Explored had to investigate. In this Breaking News episode, Stu Jackson looks at the viral claim, asks whether there is any reason to believe it, and explores why stories like this spread so quickly through UFO culture,...

The PURSUE UAP releases may not prove aliens — but they do contain officially unresolved cases that deserve serious attention. In this solo Aliens Explored episode, Stu Jackson breaks down his top two videos and top two files from each PURSUE tranche, including the Western US Event, alleged “orbs launching other orbs,” the submarine-related transmedium case, the Lake Huron shootdown footage, Sandi...
