Clas Svahn just got access to incredibly sensitive Swedish DoD archives and one of the first things he pulls is an incredible 1970s UFO report. A helicopter pilot is ordered to lift and intercept an object coming in from Norway at night. He’s “twenty meters over the treetops” in... moonlight over snow with clear visibility. Then an object flies under the helicopter, over the treetops, with “a small passage of twenty meters” in front of them. It was “an elongated rocket like thing with no wings, no lights, nothing” and it just disappears. The pilot said, “I lifted my feet because it was so near our helicopter.” This is an incredible interview from start to finish. Its out now for members and goes live for the public tomorrow.show more

🚨BREAKING: The man who runs the world's largest UFO archive just got access to classified Swedish military files, has radar-confirmed UFO intercepts from inside DOD records, personally viewed secret military radar tracking an unknown object, and revealed that Betty Hill collected crash debris before her famous abduction that may still be buried in her yard in New Hampshire. Clas Svahn has spent 50 years building Archives for the Unexplained in Sweden. Sixteen rooms. 22,000 case files from Sweden alone. He's not a believer. He's a researcher who was named Educator of the Year in Sweden, an amateur astronomer who debunked his first major case at 16 by identifying Jupiter. We sat down at AFU and laid out what five decades of methodical fieldwork have actually produced. The evidence is staggering. 1957: A Car Dies, Hot Tungsten Found on the Road Two carpenters were driving on the island of Värmdö, northeast of Stockholm, when an object came in from the east, moved in front of their car, made a U-turn. The car went completely dead. The object left. They got out and found a metallic piece on the road so hot it burned their hands. Clas had it analyzed. Pure tungsten, sourced from Karabaj, with all expected impurities for that era. Tungsten is one of the best heat conductors on Earth. In the middle of a Swedish night, it should have been cold. Something made it extremely hot. The physical evidence matches the witness account exactly. 1975: Helicopter Pilot Ordered to Intercept a Ghost Rocket A Swedish military helicopter pilot, on standby for unknown objects crossing from Norway into Sweden at night, was ordered airborne to intercept. He and his co-pilot were flying 20 meters above the treetops. Moonlight on snow gave perfect visibility. An elongated, rocket-shaped object with no wings, no lights, no markings flew directly beneath the helicopter through that 20-meter gap over the trees. The pilot lifted his feet off the floor. It passed that close. They landed. Military security personnel debriefed them immediately. Clas Found the Radar Plot in Classified DOD Files Clas recently received clearance to access classified Swedish customs police military files from the early 1970s, sealed until 2040. Inside, he found the documentation for the 1975 helicopter intercept. The radar plot shows the exact point where the unknown object's path intersected with the helicopter. A military note confirms an object passed extremely close to the aircraft. Clas called the pilot days ago to confirm the date. The co-pilot, now living in Australia, will be interviewed next. The full files will be scanned and released within weeks. Six Radar Operators Watched It, Then the Photos Disappeared In the winter of 1973-74, six military radar operators stationed inside a mountain in northern Sweden came to the surface for lunch. They saw a cigar-shaped object moving over the treetops. They ran back underground to their radar equipment. The object appeared on screen, executing 90-degree turns before flying over Norway and straight up. Their commanding officer ordered them to photograph the radar screen. They did. Clas tracked down all six operators over several years. Every one of them told the same story. The photographs have never been found. 2005: A Phone Photo Matches Military Radar Returns Two men in a cottage in northern Sweden heard a strange noise late at night. They went outside. A brightly illuminated object was circling their cottage. One of them took a photo with his mobile phone. The first known mobile phone UFO photograph in Sweden. Clas went to the military radar unit covering that area. He personally viewed the radar returns. The object's movement on radar matched the witnesses' account exactly: approach, circling, departure. Two witnesses. One photograph. Military radar confirmation. Clas saw it with his own eyes. Every Scandinavian UFO Crash Has Been in Water Not a single UFO in Sweden or Norway, from the 1946 ghost rockets to the present, has crashed or landed on solid ground. Every one went into a lake. Roughly 30 cases. Always water. Almost always in July. Almost always around 11 PM. Clear weather. Hot weather. The Swedish military searched multiple lakes in 1946 for ghost rocket debris. They found indentations at the bottom. No wreckage. No fragments. Nothing. Objects that fly through space and navigate with apparent precision do not accidentally crash into lakes with that kind of consistency. Something Is Sitting in a Lake in Northern Sweden In 1980, witnesses in Dämma Jaure in far northern Sweden saw an object descend below 100 meters and sink into a lake. They photographed it two minutes after impact. They contacted the military. A helicopter was dispatched. One passenger became ill. Dead fish appeared near the shore. Clas and his team located sonar returns from an object resting not at the lake bottom but embedded two meters into the mud, exactly where their expert predicted it would be. They cannot retrieve it. It sits inside a protected national park. The object is still there. Betty Hill Collected Crash Debris Before Her Abduction Betty Hill told Clas directly that before the 1961 Indian Head encounter, she was already deeply interested in UFOs. She and a relative were sitting on her porch when something crossed the sky and crashed into a nearby field. They went out and brought back debris. She stored it in her cupboard. Days before the famous trip with Barney to Canada, Barney told her to get rid of it. She threw it in the garden. A lorry came shortly after and dumped earth over it. The debris is likely still buried at her former home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Clas recorded this conversation. The audio exists on AFU's website. 10% of Swedes Surveyed Have Seen Something Clas and his team knocked on doors and interviewed 1,600 Swedes. 10% reported seeing something unexplained. That extrapolates to roughly one million people in a country of 11 million. In Hessdalen, Norway, the figure inverts. 80 to 90% of residents have had experiences. One woman wrote to Clas recently to describe an encounter from October 1971 she had never told anyone outside her family. Two silver-suited figures with tight helmets, small heads, gloves, and belt-mounted boxes, standing eight meters from her on a metal scrap pile, appearing to teleport across the debris. The Best UFO Photo May Not Exist Clas has probably examined more UFO photographs than anyone alive. He called every Swedish photographer from the 1970s. All young men. Every single one eventually admitted they faked it, except one devout Christian named Krista Sundstrom who maintains his story to this day. Clas calls him every two years. The McMinnville photo, long considered the gold standard, may show a visible string under data enhancement. The only photograph Clas fully trusts is the 2005 northern Sweden mobile phone image, because he personally verified it against military radar. Why This Matters Clas Svahn is not speculating. He has radar documentation from classified military files. He has firsthand testimony from pilots, radar operators, and witnesses recorded over decades. He has physical trace evidence analyzed in labs. He has a sonar return from an object embedded in a Swedish lake. He has Betty Hill on tape describing crash debris that no one in UFOlogy has pursued. What makes this different from most UFO testimony is the methodology. Clas treated every case like an investigation, not an argument. He debunked what he could. What survived is harder to dismiss than almost anything in the public record. Full episode documents all of this and more.

There's a UFO still under this lake in Sweden! In 1980, two witnesses near Lake Nammajaure in northern Sweden, just inside the Arctic Circle, watched an object fly below 100 meters, execute a full 180-degree turn, and splash land directly into the lake. Bubbles rose to the surface. Then it was gone. They pulled out a camera and photographed the site two minutes after impact. Decades later, Clas Svahn, the head of the world's largest UFO archive, led an expedition to the lake with divers, sonar, and ground-penetrating radar. Their expert said if something was there, it wouldn't be on the lake bottom. It would be embedded in the mud, roughly two meters down. That is exactly where they got a return. An object. Still sitting there. The problem? The lake is inside a protected national park. Even if they find it, they're not allowed to bring anything out. Clas and his team are going back next year with 3D imaging to get a better look. This is one of the best physically verifiable UFO cases in the world and almost nobody is talking about it. Episode with Clas out now.

CNN aviation correspondent and private pilot @PeteMunteen: "I'm stumbling over my words here b/c this is just so staggering that there is a midair collision involving a commercial airliner. Commercial flights are equipped for ages with a system called TCAS -- Traffic collision Avoidance System. It tells the pilots in the cockpit how to avoid other airplanes nearby. It is a system that came about because of mid-air collisions with commercial airliners and small general aviation aircraft, commercial airliners and helicopters. It tells the pilots, there's traffic ahead of you -- climb, climb, now descend, descend now. This would be an incredible lining up of the holes in the Swiss cheese, the -- the which is the saying in aviation, the gaps in the -- in the safety chain in aviation, that this happened and now investigators have an incredible amount of work cut out for them to figure out how a commercial airliner in the United States in 2025, when the pilots are incredibly trained, the technology is is incredibly sharp, collided with what is apparently a military or government helicopter. Nobody else uses the blackhawk. Yeah, it is -- it is really something else. I -- I -- I'm just stunned."

Tesla unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi hitting and going through bollards. Is this the first recorded instance of an unsupervised robotaxi hitting an object? It was supposed to go around it. I’ve had a critical disengagement once here too with my car. Holy shit wasn’t expecting it to just go through. Luckily there was no damage to the bollards or the car. People have run them over too in front of me but wasn’t expecting the robotaxi to do it. Will this be in the NHTSA report?? I don’t think this can be considered an “accident”

Declassified FBI documents detail UFO sighting by Minnesota police officers "Buried within the National Archives is an unexplained sighting from right here in Minnesota. It happened just after 1:17 a.m. on a cold day in February 2025. A small group of Anoka police officers was conducting an "after-action briefing" in a Domino's Pizza parking lot just up the road from the police station. That's when one of the officers spotted it: a multi-colored object with flashing lights "hovering" in the sky. Federal investigators have classified it as an unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP. Documents detailing the event were declassified and released in 2025 by the National Archives and Records Administration. Three Anoka police officers witnessed the object in the sky, with at least one of them reporting what they saw to Americans for Safe Aerospace (ASA), a nonprofit that evaluates UAP sightings. The ASA then forwarded its interview to the FBI. The unnamed officer said that he and his colleagues spotted the object rapidly changing and flashing various colors on the horizon from their position in Anoka. He shot a video with his iPhone through a pair of binoculars, estimating that the object, which looked like a sphere, was about 50 miles away. He said that it descended and ascended rapidly. He said that one of his fellow officers traveled in the object's direction, arriving in Elk River, only to find that it was still too far to the west. In all, the officer said that they observed the object for about 90 minutes with clear visibility."

A UFO is likely still in this lake in Sweden! In northern Sweden, two witnesses describe a 1980 daylight case that sounds unreal...an object comes within 100 meters of the ground, flies over them across a lake, turns 180° back toward them, then lands with a splash and sinks. Clas Svahn says he's been to the lake and found “something” in the mud, and that he's going back next year with his team to look again. This isn't just an isolated story. Sweden has a long history of UFOs dropping into lakes. Sweden’s “ghost rocket” wave produced roughly 2,000 reports of rocket like objects, including radar tracked cases and repeated stories of objects plunging into lakes and leaving almost nothing behind. This was serious enough that the Swedish military reportedly limited what newspapers could publish about exact locations and directions. Full episode with Clas drops today.

On January 7, 2025, the pilot of a Colombian commercial airliner recorded a mysterious triangular-shaped object over the Antioquia region of Colombia. The object was detected at an altitude of approximately 6,700 meters (22,000 feet) and was moving at a speed close to 590 km/h. The recording was made by pilot César Murillo Pérez, who was flying an Airbus A320 for the airline Viva Air Colombia at the time.

Absolutely wild footage, this is a real world engine failure in a MD500 (Think Magnum P.I. helicopter) over Kauai, Hawaii out on a tour flight. You’ll probably have to watch this a few times but the video starts out with the helicopter under power and then the engine sound goes silent. The beeping you hear is the engine-out audio beep to inform the pilot that engine power has been lost. This maneuver that pilot is doing is called a Autorotation and the way to think about helicopter flight, the engine is turning this big fan (rotor blades) on top of the body and sucking in air from the top and projecting it downward to overcome the force of gravity. When engine power is lost, you experience a reverse in airflow because now gravity takes over and the air flow is coming from the bottom of the main rotor disk. The only thing the pilot can really do is to make sure the rotors keep spinning by changing the pitch of the rotor blades through the use of the “collective” which is a lever next to the pilot’s left leg and it only moves up and down. The pilot has to manipulate the collective during an auto rotation to make sure the blades keep spinning. If the pilot pulls up too much on the collective, the rotor blades will bite too much of air causing a resistance and slow the rotors down. If the pilot doesn’t pull enough collective.. the blades will speed up and potentially cause a catastrophic failure. The other control the pilot has is called the cyclic. This cyclic sits between the pilots legs and and manipulates individual pitch of the rotor blades to tilt the rotor disk aka “big fan” and make the helicopter go forward, backwards, left, right. So essentially in this type of emergency, you have to manipulate the controls in a delicate balance because no matter what, gravity is taking you to the ground because the engine is no longer producing power. The pilot did an outstanding job here given the geography and limited amount of flat terrain to put the helicopter on the ground. Thankfully it sounds like no souls were lost and only one injury according to a news report (see the link below)👇 Of course there is a lot more to helicopter aerodynamics but I’m trying my best to put this in simpler to digest terms. Big thanks to Combat Learjet for sharing and definitely worth a follow!

🇬🇧THIS HELICOPTER FLIES ITSELF AND NEEDS ZERO PILOTS No glass. No cockpit. No pilot. Just pure robot vibes. It’s not a drone because no one is flying it. Not even from a base. This chopper thinks for itself and can fly for 8 hours without snacks, sleep or bathroom breaks. Built in the UK, it is the world’s first fully autonomous helicopter and it is kinda terrifying.

NEW: Pilots are reporting mysterious lights in the skies, moving at extreme speeds in Oregon, say they are moving up & down quickly at different altitudes. One pilot says he saw “colorful lights,” all at different altitudes, with one over 50,000 feet. The lights are “zipping towards us and back out towards the ocean, red in color, moving at extreme speeds.” “I don’t even know how to describe it,” the pilot said. “The biggest thing that stood out was it was changing direction. Usually, things don’t change directions unless it’s an aircraft,” the pilot, Joe Buley, said during an interview.

Khamenei's funeral is slightly less of a shitshow than Khomeini's funeral in 1989. Back then, his full naked corpse was paraded through crowds of insane shia muslims who tried to grope him with their hands. At one point his body rolled out of the coffin and had to be placed back in. IRGC thugs at one point opened fire on the crowds just to make them back out from touching Khomeini while slapping themselves. In the end, an army helicopter had to airlift his coffin out (it almost fell out of the helicopter too lol). Many retarded regime supporters died in stampedes on the ground. This footage was kept hidden from the Iranian public for some time because it looked like an actual zombie apocalypse.

NEW: Air Canada pilot dragged out of the cock pit by a flight attendant while suffering from a seizure, causing an emergency landing. Air Canada said Flight AC7664 was en route from Newark, New Jersey, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, when the pilot suffered an apparent seizure. The captain allegedly yanked the wheel, causing the aircraft to jolt sideways, alarming passengers. The flight attendant dragged the pilot out of the cockpit, and passengers held down the pilot, who was seizing, for about 40 minutes. The first officer took over as captain and safely diverted the plane to an emergency landing in Boston. Rodney McDonald, who was traveling with his wife and 2 sons, said, "It really felt like someone had jilted the controls, and then it happened over and over again. And, you know, every thought goes through your mind, you start praying. My boys instantly started praying."
