A black unidentified flying object was captured by Google Street View cameras in Alpine, Wyoming. Although the device recorded it in broad daylight, the object remained invisible to the naked eye at the time.
A strange anomaly has been discovered on Google Maps. Hovering over Ronks, Pennsylvania, this unidentified flying object was captured by Street View cameras in May 2025. It’s another compelling piece of evidence fueling the debate over UFO sightings in our skies.

In a recent interview, Palmer Luckey, co-founder of the U.S. defense contractor Anduril, offered a series of reflections on unidentified flying objects (UFOs), particularly the so-called “Tic Tac” objects reported by U.S. Navy pilots. Without claiming definitive answers, the technology entrepreneur outlined several hypotheses that depart from conventional explanations.
According to Luckey, some of the strange and seemingly physics-defying behavior attributed to these objects may not stem solely from their nature, but also from the limitations of human perception. He suggests that witnesses may be encountering a form of reality for which they are not yet intellectually or scientifically equipped. “I don’t know if that means they are actively cloaking themselves, or if it means they do not even exist in the way we think about physical matter,” he said.
Luckey also questioned the idea that these objects are the product of recent technological developments. “It’s unlikely they were manufactured or created within the last few years,” he argued. Instead, he proposed that they may have been created long ago, stored for extended periods, or even traveled from the distant past into the present. By contrast, the notion that they originate from the future strikes him as implausible. “Coming from the future is too hard,” he said. “The physics just doesn’t seem to work.”
These remarks carry particular weight given Luckey’s role at Anduril, a company known for developing unmanned aerial systems and advanced defense technologies. Yet he suggested that such systems could become obsolete if the true nature of UFOs were ever understood. “If and when we figure out what’s going on with UFOs, that whole universe is going to change, and this stuff won’t be relevant,” he stated.
Among the more provocative ideas raised is the possibility of an ancient, technologically advanced human civilization capable of traveling through time. While intriguing, the concept also carries a darker implication: if such beings exist, why would they choose to leave our present behind rather than remain within it? For now, the question remains open, underscoring how much about these phenomena is still unknown.
In the history of medicine and human records, few lives are as perplexing as that of Adam Rainer. Born at the end of the 19th century in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Rainer remains the only known individual in human history to have been officially classified as both a dwarf and a giant. His life stands as a medical anomaly and a deeply human story of suffering, adaptation, and biological extremity.
Adam Rainer was born in 1899 in Graz, in what is now Austria. During his adolescence and early adulthood, nothing suggested an extraordinary fate. He was small and frail, reaching a height of approximately 1.38 meters (4 feet 6 inches) as a young adult—well within the medical definition of dwarfism. In 1917, when he presented himself for military service, he was deemed unfit due to his short stature and poor physical condition. At the time, his case attracted little attention.
That changed dramatically in the early 1920s. Rainer began to grow at an abnormal and uncontrollable rate, far beyond what biology would normally allow after adolescence. Over the following years, his height increased rapidly, accompanied by severe physical symptoms: joint pain, skeletal deformities, and worsening vision. Physicians eventually diagnosed the cause—an adenoma of the pituitary gland, a benign tumor that triggered excessive secretion of growth hormone.
In 1931, surgeons attempted to halt the progression by removing part of the tumor. The operation slowed his growth but could not completely stop it. By the time his condition stabilized, Adam Rainer had reached a height of approximately 2.34 meters (7 feet 8 inches), placing him firmly in the category of gigantism.
The extreme growth came at a heavy cost. Rainer developed severe scoliosis and suffered chronic pain, progressive blindness, and hearing loss. His final years were marked by physical decline and social isolation rather than public fascination. He died in 1950 at the age of 51.
Today, Adam Rainer’s case continues to be studied as a rare intersection of dwarfism and gigantism. More than a biological curiosity, his story underscores the fragility of the human body and the limits of medical understanding in the early 20th century. It is the story of a man whose body defied classification—and whose life was shaped by a condition that first made him too small for the world, and later far too large to comfortably exist within it.
On a beach south of Lima, Peruvian shamans marked the arrival of the New Year with an annual ritual blending ancient traditions and contemporary geopolitics, unveiling a series of striking predictions for the months ahead.
Dressed in brightly colored ponchos and surrounded by flowers and incense, the spiritual leaders gathered to perform ceremonial rites intended to foresee the fate of world affairs. Central to the ritual were large images of international political figures laid out on the sand, which the shamans symbolically engaged with using swords, smoke, and ritual gestures meant to reveal future outcomes.
Among the most eye-catching forecasts was a warning concerning U.S. President Donald Trump. According to Juan de Dios Garcia, one of the participating shamans, the United States should brace for troubling news, as he foresees Trump suffering a serious illness in the coming year.
Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro, was also the subject of ominous predictions. The shamans claim to envision his political defeat and eventual flight from the country. Garcia stated that while Maduro would leave Venezuela, he would not be captured or imprisoned.
Other global leaders were included in the ceremony, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Regarding the war in Ukraine, the shamans predicted an end to the conflict, anticipating a future marked by peace and reconciliation.
Closer to home, the ritual produced a significant forecast for Peruvian politics. Garcia asserted that Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori, would win Peru’s presidential election in 2026. After three unsuccessful attempts, he said, her long-held ambition to lead the country would finally be realized, a vision he claims to have perceived through the use of wachuma, an ancestral ceremonial plant.
The New Year ritual, held annually in late December, has become a recurring event that captures public and media attention. However, the shamans’ predictions have not always proven accurate. In 2023, they similarly foresaw an end to the war in Ukraine—an outcome that has yet to materialize. Despite this, the ceremony continues to fascinate observers, standing at the crossroads of spirituality, tradition, and global politics.
One of the more unusual alien abduction stories has once again resurfaced, retold by an equally unconventional figure: Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov. A former chess prodigy, president of the Republic of Kalmykia from 1993 to 2010, businessman and oligarch, Ilyumzhinov also served as president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) between 1995 and 2018. In a recent interview, he revisited a story he has recounted on numerous occasions over the years.
According to Ilyumzhinov, the incident took place in 1997 in Moscow, where he claims to have been abducted from the balcony of his apartment by humanoid beings wearing yellow spacesuits. He says he was taken aboard their spacecraft, where communication occurred telepathically. “They put a spacesuit on me, told me many things and showed me around. They wanted to demonstrate that UFOs do exist,” he stated.
In this latest retelling, Ilyumzhinov added further details about the alleged encounter. The beings, he said, emphasized observation rather than intervention and appeared peaceful and non-hostile. He claims they told him that Earth had previously been home to five advanced civilizations before extraterrestrials created modern humans. He also asserts that chess itself is an extraterrestrial invention, as are religions, the pyramids, modern technology, and much of contemporary human knowledge.
The account, while frequently cited in discussions of UFO lore, remains unsupported by any physical evidence. Scientists and experts generally categorize such claims as personal testimonies that cannot be independently verified. Still, the story continues to attract attention, if only for the prominence of its narrator. As some observers have wryly noted, it is perhaps unfortunate that Ilyumzhinov did not retain a way to contact his alleged visitors, should humanity ever require outside assistance with its present global challenges.
Sweetwater County, Wyoming. For more than a year, residents, law enforcement officers and employees at the Jim Bridger Power Plant have reported seeing unidentified flying objects hovering over the facility in the early morning hours. Despite repeated sightings and inquiries, no clear explanation has been provided by authorities, leaving the community with lingering questions and growing frustration.
According to multiple witnesses, the sightings began approximately 13 months ago and typically occurred between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. The objects are described as moving silently, sometimes in apparent patterns, above or near the Jim Bridger Power Plant, a major energy facility in the region.
Reports have come not only from local residents, but also from power plant employees and deputies with the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff John Grossnickle confirmed that his office received numerous reports over the months. Through his spokesperson, Jason Mower, Grossnickle said he has sought explanations from various agencies. “We’ve talked to everyone,” Mower said. “Nobody wants to give us any answers.”
Authorities say the objects have caused no disruptions or damage. There have been no confirmed security breaches, accidents or direct threats associated with the sightings. “The only issue is that we don’t know what they are,” the sheriff’s office said, describing the situation as a troubling but harmless mystery.
U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming has reportedly witnessed the unidentified objects herself. However, despite requests for clarification, she has not publicly shared any information regarding their nature or origin, adding to local concerns and speculation.
In the absence of official explanations, several theories have circulated. Some observers suggest the objects could be research drones, military or civilian aircraft, or simply unusual lights in the night sky. Others point to the possibility of various types of drones. Yet none of these explanations has been formally confirmed, and no official consensus has been reached.
After more than a year without clear answers, residents have largely stopped reporting the sightings. The sheriff’s office notes that the lack of feedback from higher authorities has discouraged further reports, even as questions remain unresolved.
The silence is particularly unsettling at a time when national discussions about unidentified aerial phenomena are increasing, often framed within broader debates about national security. Against that backdrop, local officials and residents say the lack of transparency is difficult to understand.
“If you see something, say something,” the familiar warning goes. In Sweetwater County, some now add a caveat of their own: be prepared to wait—and possibly be ignored.
