New Report: UFOs Spotted Over Ukraine Skies, Reaching Speeds of Up To 53,000 km/h
According to a new report from the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have been spotted over Kyiv. The report was published in the preprint database arXiv.
Using specially calibrated cameras at two weather stations in Kyiv and Vinarivka, a village about 75 miles (120 kilometers) to the south, astronomers observed dozens of objects "that cannot scientifically be identified as known natural phenomena," the report said.
The researchers divided their UAP observations into two categories: "cosmics" and "phantoms." According to the report, cosmics are luminous objects that are brighter than the background sky. These objects are designated with birds' names — such as "swift," "falcon" and "eagle" — and have been observed flying solo as well as in "squadrons," the team wrote.
The researchers estimated that phantoms range from 10 to 40 feet (3 to 12 meters) wide and can travel at speeds of up to 33,000 mph (53,000 km/h). For comparison, the Lockheed SR-71 blackbird is the fastest known aircraft, reaching speeds of up to 3,500 km/h.
There was no speculation on the researchers' part regarding what these objects are, it simply focused on the methods used to identify them and the characteristics and qualities of the objects that could be detected.
The U.S. government has openly renewed its public interest in UAP investigations since 2017, when several videos taken by U.S. Navy aircraft leaked to the media. The videos showed unidentified aircraft moving in seemingly impossible ways, with no explanation.
In some cases, according to incident reports and interviews with military personnel, these vehicles descended from altitudes higher than 60,000 feet at supersonic speeds, only to suddenly stop and hover as low as 50 feet above the ocean. They are also capable of travelling through water, in the ocean, just as they are through the atmosphere at the same speeds.
The Hessdalen Interactive Observatory at Østfold University College in Norway has also been capturing some amazing footage over the years. As far as I know, it’s the only official 24 hour UFO observatory in the world (except for our governments, of course). Radar and cameras have tracked and filmed numerous inexplicable phenomena in this area, with the fastest one recorded at an astonishing 30,000 km per hour. You can see some examples and read more about that here if interested.
Theories of what these objects are range from classified military technology of other nations, to perhaps even other worldly beings. UFOs have long been obsessed with our nuclear weaponry, perhaps that has something to do with it given the conflict in Ukraine.
Important considerations to think about when it comes to "mainstream" UFO disclosure
Dr. Jacques Valée, an academic who holds a masters degree in astrophysics and a Ph.D., in computer science who co-developed the first computerized map of Mars for NASA in 1963 is one of many who have revealed potential manipulation with regards to this subject.
In one of his latest books, Forbidden Science 4, he shares a record of his private study into unexplained phenomenon between 1990 and the end of the millennium, during which he was traveling around the world pursuing his professional work as a high-technology investor. It’s a bit of a diary, documenting his experiences and encounters/meetings as he tries to examine and explore the phenomenon.
In an entry dated Thursday 26 March 1992, Vallée writes:
“I have secured a document confirming that the CIA simulated UFO abductions in Latin America (Brazil and Argentina) as psychological warfare experiments.”
Richard Doty is also mentioned multiple times in Valle’s book. He is a retired Air Force Special investigations officer (AFSIO), and his job was to spread disinformation about the UFO subject during his time with the Air Force. Spreading disinformation about the reality of UFOs is no secret. In Doty’s case, he admitted to infiltrating UFO circles, along with his colleagues, to feed ufologists and journalists lies and half truths so that they would never understand any real truth. How do we know this isn't happening today on an even grander scale?
A quote comes to mind here,
"It is time for the truth to be brought out ... . Behind the scenes high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense."
Rear Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter, Director of Central Intelligence (1947-50), signed statement to Congress, 22 Aug. 1960
Kit Green, a scientist and former senior CIA intelligence officer with a longstanding connection to research into psi phenomena and UFOs, has also expressed and shared his knowledge and experience regarding misinformation regarding UFOs and aliens being disseminated by the CIA.
There are a plethora of examples. But if what is written above is true, it wouldn't be the first time that governments misrepresent and disseminate misinformation regarding actual events that are taking place. The big question is why would they be doing this?
We've also seen this many times before with various geopolitical issues like the war on terror and "false flag terrorism." The US government, for example, has disseminated false information, and in some cases helped to create 'terrorist attacks' to justify the invasion of various regions overseas. Many speculate that this is what happened with 9/11, for example, or the chemical weapons attacks that took place in Syria six years ago. Western media was blaming Russia, while all other media outlets seemed to be presenting evidence that this was a staged event by the west.
For years they've (Western governments) been claiming to bring democracy to these areas when in reality, there are ulterior motives at hand under the guise of good will. It's so hard to know what's really happening these days, especially when certain narratives are deemed "conspiracy" for simply threatening the "official" narrative.
"Within a year, the young agency had already slipped the leash of its intended role of intelligence collection and analysis to establish a covert operations division. Within a decade, the CIA was directing the coverage of American news organizations , overthrowing democratically elected governments (at times merely to benefit a favored corporation), establishing propaganda outfits to manipulate public sentiment, launching a long-running series of mind-control experiments on unwitting human subjects (purportedly contributing to the creation of the Unabomber), and—gasp—interfering with foreign elections. From there, it was a short hop to wiretapping journalists and compiling files on Americans who opposed its wars."

Organizations like NASA, along with various governments, suddenly claiming that only now will they begin to investigate the UFO phenomenon puts them in a prime position to explain the phenomenon, to relay “new” discoveries to the citizenry and control the narrative.
Anybody who has studied ufology and sifted through the evidence and the lore knows that it is an extremely vast topic that leaves no aspect of humanity untouched. What we are most likely to get is a simple, extremely watered down and sanitized version of disclosure – something that will not be an accurate version of truth and that does not represent the true nature of the phenomenon.
Like everything else in this world that comes from 'official' sources, it will likely be portrayed as a 'threat' to national security. Based on my research, this is an inaccurate statement. It's simply one of multiple perspectives based on the evidence and testimony available. All of these perspectives should be disseminated to the public, not just the 'threat' narratives, or narratives that don't benefit government and policy makers.
Will the 'official' explanation be forced upon us while the 'ministry of truth' censors and ridicules other evidence that counters government narratives? This is a very strong possibility as, again, we've seen it happen with many other topics, like COVID-19. In fact, in 2021, the European Defence Industry stated they would "crack down" on UFO misinformation.
We are living in a world where 'truth' can only come from government, and our right to access, disseminate and examine other sources of information and evidence is being cut off.
In a way, modern day mainstream UFO disclosure could be used to maintain secrecy around the subject by painting a false perception of the phenomenon to keep certain realities about it under wraps. We saw this with Project Bluebook, a decades old effort by the U.S. government to supposedly study the phenomenon, when it was actually used to debunk the extraterrestrial hypothesis.
There is hardly any transparency in our world when it comes to big and ‘controversial’ topics and events, so don’t expect this to be the case with UFOs. Perhaps it’s not the best idea to constantly rely on official government offices and officials to provide us with explanations about such things.
We should aim for a holistic view of the phenomenon, one that includes all of the research and experiences that have taken place not only from the past century, but from years prior as well. I take no pleasure in sharing this sentiment. It would be great if we had a government that people could trust. But it seems that every day more people learn that we can't rely on these entities for honest information anymore. Can you blame them?
The study of this phenomenon should be one that is spearheaded by civilians, independent organizations that are separate from government.
