👀USA 325 keeps an eye on COSMOS 2589 as it settles into GEO COSMOS 2589 🇷🇺 (launched last June) spent the past few weeks circularizing its orbit before parking at ~98°E. USA 325 🇺🇸 (GSSAP-6) was watching the whole time. Things got interesting around April 19th when COSMOS 2589 actually drifted past USA 325 mid-maneuver. USA 325 repositioned, and by late April both were sitting at the same longitude. From there, observation passes came twice a day due to their different inclinations. Closest was ~13 km on 1 May, with sun angles lining up nicely for a good look. 3D visualization attached — you can really see how COSMOS 2589 tightened its orbit while USA 325 adjusted to stay in position. This is what GSSAP does: when something new shows up in GEO, they're there to take a look. Analysis via COMSPOC SSASuite.

Pakistan's PRSC-EO3: an unusual orbit for an optical satellite Radar tracking via Leonardo Avella. Processed via COMSPOC SSA. PRSC-EO3 (visualized in cyan) launched April 25, 2026 on a Long March 6. It's an optical imager — but its orbit is curious. Most optical LEO satellites use sun-synchronous orbits (~97-105° inclination), which provide consistent lighting for imaging. PRSC-EO3 is in a 38° inclined orbit instead. This sacrifices global coverage and consistent lighting, but increases revisit rates over a specific latitude band: 20-40°N. That's India, Kashmir, and Pakistan. Now consider PRSC-S1 (visualized in pink), Pakistan's SAR satellite launched July 2025, sitting in a 41° orbit. Similar inclination, similar altitude — but their RAANs are ~175° out of phase. When one passes over South Asia in daylight, the other passes in darkness. SAR works day and night. Optical needs sunlight. The geometry appears to allow complementary coverage. We ran the access analysis [Image 1]. The SAR sensor (unconstrained) and optical sensor (daytime-constrained) together provide repeatable revisit across day and night. The gaps left by one are filled by the other. Then there's PRSC-HS1 — a hyperspectral satellite in SSO [Image 2], capable of detecting camouflage and identifying materials from orbit. Optical shows you the picture. SAR shows you the picture at night and through weather. Hyperspectral tells you what you're looking at. Five remote sensing satellites in 16 months [Image 2]. All launched by China. All with orbits favoring South Asian coverage. The stated missions are civilian. The orbital architecture appears consistent with a multi-modal ISR constellation.

Shijian-31: a satellite with an orbit we have never seen before China launched Shijian-31 on June 16 from Xichang, officially described as a "space environment detection" mission. The orbital elements suggest more going on. The inclination 63.46° sits at the value where perigee advance goes to zero. Anyone who's tracked Molniya-class satellites will recognize that immediately. But the resemblance stops there. A classic Molniya parks its apogee over high northern latitudes and dwells for hours, that's the whole design premise. SJ-31's argument of perigee is 171°, which puts perigee near the equator and its apogee on the opposite side. (Image 1: SJ-31 at 171° argument of perigee vs. a generic Molniya at 270° argument of perigee.) So the long dwell isn't over any particular latitude — it's over altitude. Apogee reaches ~39,900 km, about 4,100 km above the operational GEO belt where comms and missile-warning satellites sit. Nearly a third of each 12.5-hour orbit is spent above that shell, crossing it twice per pass at a steep 63° angle. (Video 1: SJ-31's orbit visualized with example GEO assets.) It's also not fixed on one region. The period is just off a clean repeating ground track, so the sub-apogee point slowly drifts around the globe — sweeping past every longitude roughly once every 24 days. Net effect: an orbit that periodically looks down on the entire GEO belt from above, at an angle, on a rotating schedule, rather than fixating on one target. What's it actually doing up there?

RUSSIA, now the WORLD LEADER in space launch technology, leaving NASA and SPACE X in its wake! 💪🇷🇺 ❗️Russia successfully launches another Soyuz-2.1b space rocket carrying heliogeophysical satellites "Ionosphere-M" & 18 accompanying satellites from Vostochny Cosmodrone Roscosmos reported. 💪🇷🇺 On July 25, 2025, Russia’s Roscosmos successfully launched a Soyuz-2.1b rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, carrying 2 Ionosfera-M satellites and 18 secondary payloads, including 17 Russian & 1 Iranian satellite. This mission, aimed at completing the Ionosfera-M constellation to study Earth’s ionosphere and space weather, underscores Russia’s renewed vigor in space exploration. The launch, the third Soyuz-2.1b flight of 2025 and the first from Vostochny this year, highlights Russia’s strategic push to bolster its space capabilities, positioning it as the Primary player in the global space race, arguably outpacing NASA and SpaceX in recent activity and ambition. The Ionosfera-M satellites, equipped with instruments like the GPS total electron content receiver (PES), Laertes radio wave sounder, and MAYAK dual-frequency beacon, are designed to monitor the ionosphere’s electron density and space weather effects. This scientific focus, combined with the successful deployment of 18 secondary payloads, including a 16U CubeSat and Iran’s Nahid-2 telecommunications satellite, demonstrates Russia’s ability to execute complex, multi-payload missions. The Vostochny Cosmodrome, a relatively new facility, supports Russia’s goal of reducing reliance on Kazakhstan’s Baikonur Cosmodrome, further signaling its intent to assert independence and efficiency in space operations. In contrast, NASA and SpaceX, while historically dominant, have faced challenges that suggest Russia’s current momentum may surpass them. NASA’s Artemis program has encountered delays and budget overruns, with the Artemis II mission now pushed to 2026. SpaceX, despite its reusable Falcon 9 and Starlink successes, has focused heavily on commercial satellite deployments, with 27 Starlink launches in 2025 alone. However, these efforts lack the scientific depth of Russia’s Ionosfera-M mission, which prioritizes geophysical research critical for global communication and navigation systems. Russia’s ability to integrate international payloads, like Iran’s, also showcases its diplomatic and technical flexibility, an area where NASA’s international collaborations have been constrained by geopolitical tensions. China’s space program, meanwhile, is rapidly ascending, with milestones like the Tiangong space station and lunar exploration missions. Russia and China have deepened their space cooperation, notably through joint projects like the Russian-Chinese satellite launched in November 2024. This partnership, rooted in technology sharing, positions them to challenge Western dominance. China’s advancements in reusable rocket technology & Russia’s expertise in reliable Soyuz launches create a synergy that could see them lead the space race. For instance, Russia’s planned space station, set to launch modules in 2027, aligns with China’s ambitions for lunar bases, suggesting a strategic alignment that will outpace NASA’s slower-paced lunar gateway project. Russia’s recent successes, including a record-breaking 55-satellite launch in November 2024, reflect a revitalized space sector despite Western sanctions. By leveraging domestic infrastructure like Vostochny and fostering ties with China, Russia is not only more active but arguably more successful in achieving its space objectives than NASA or SpaceX, whose efforts are spread across commercial and exploratory domains. As Russia and China share technologies, their combined expertise in launch systems, satellite constellations & deep-space exploration is redefining their leadership in the space race, leaving NASA & SpaceX to catch up.

Starlink shutdown exposes Russia’s military dependence Russia’s dependence on American technology shatters the Kremlin’s invincibility narrative, leading to a slowdown in advance on the front.

Can Venezuela withstand the attack after Trump's green light? Initially, the targets would be Venezuelan radars, which would be attacked by American drones, disabling the anti-aircraft defenses. Venezuela does not have a dedicated drone interception system, which could be a crucial vulnerability. Iglas and RBS 70 are the only options to attack drones flying at max 5,000m altitude. Regarding the radars, Venezuela is operating only a little over half of its systems, which are Russian and Chinese models. American radars are partially operational. - HK-JM2: Chinese; 500 km; Long-range defense; Operational. - JYL-1: Chinese; 470 km; Long-range 3D; 7+ units; Operational. - JY-11B: Chinese; 450 km; 3D UHF; Multiple units; Operational. - TPS-70: American; 370 km; Mobile surveillance; Unknown status; Partially operational. - 36D6 Tin Shield: Russian; 300 km; 3D detection; Operational. - TPS-43: American; 360 km; Air surveillance; Unknown status; Possibly inoperative. These radars are also critical for the operation of Venezuelan drones and antiship missiles, which are quite numerous. Venezuelan Aerial Drones (Iranian, Russian, and Domestic): - Arpía 1/ANSU-100 (Mohajer-2): Iranian/local; Range: 50 km; Speed: 200 km/h; Dozens in use. - Orlan-10: Russian; Range: 120 km; Speed: 150 km/h. - Qods Mohajer/Mersad: Iranian; Range: 50 km; Speed: 200 km/h. - ANT-3X Gavilán: Venezuelan; Range: 120 km; Speed: 150 km/h. - Mohajer-6: Iranian; Range: 2,000 km; Speed: 200 km/h. - ANSU-200: Venezuelan/Iranian; Range: 500 km; Speed: 200 km/h (experimental). - Zamora V-1 (Shahed-136): Venezuelan; Range: 30 km; Speed: 150 km/h.

Even with the U.S. deploying a partial force, it's far beyond Venezuelan capabilities, but I repeat: If the Venezuelan military agrees to fight, these anti-ship missiles and drones will give the American fleet a hard time. Yemen has far less against a much larger task force and still made a significant impact. The defense systems as S300VM, Buk-2M and Pechoras were deployed around several cities. Maduro isn't as popular as Chavez was, and Venezuela is going through a tough time now, without even the support of its neighbors, something that wasn't the case in the past.

Can Venezuela withstand the attack after Trump's green light? Initially, the targets would be Venezuelan radars, which would be attacked by American drones, disabling the anti-aircraft defenses. Venezuela does not have a dedicated drone interception system, which could be a crucial vulnerability. Iglas and RBS 70 are the only options to attack drones flying at max 5,000m altitude. Regarding the radars, Venezuela is operating only a little over half of its systems, which are Russian and Chinese models. American radars are partially operational. - HK-JM2: Chinese; 500 km; Long-range defense; Operational. - JYL-1: Chinese; 470 km; Long-range 3D; 7+ units; Operational. - JY-11B: Chinese; 450 km; 3D UHF; Multiple units; Operational. - TPS-70: American; 370 km; Mobile surveillance; Unknown status; Partially operational. - 36D6 Tin Shield: Russian; 300 km; 3D detection; Operational. - TPS-43: American; 360 km; Air surveillance; Unknown status; Possibly inoperative. These radars are also critical for the operation of Venezuelan drones and antiship missiles, which are quite numerous. Venezuelan Aerial Drones (Iranian, Russian, and Domestic): - Arpía 1/ANSU-100 (Mohajer-2): Iranian/local; Range: 50 km; Speed: 200 km/h; Dozens in use. - Orlan-10: Russian; Range: 120 km; Speed: 150 km/h. - Qods Mohajer/Mersad: Iranian; Range: 50 km; Speed: 200 km/h. - ANT-3X Gavilán: Venezuelan; Range: 120 km; Speed: 150 km/h. - Mohajer-6: Iranian; Range: 2,000 km; Speed: 200 km/h. - ANSU-200: Venezuelan/Iranian; Range: 500 km; Speed: 200 km/h (experimental). - Zamora V-1 (Shahed-136): Venezuelan; Range: 30 km; Speed: 150 km/h.

Neil deGrasse Tyson just revealed that we're building a trap around Earth that could switch off the modern world. And every major country is making it worse on PURPOSE. Right now there is a land grab happening a few hundred miles above your head: SpaceX alone has already put more than 10,000 Starlink satellites into orbit. Around 5,000 objects went up in 2025, and even more are planned this year. By 2040, there could be 100,000 active satellites circling the planet. Every major nation is trying to claim its share and there are almost NO laws governing any of it. Tyson describes the current state of space as a wild west. So why should you care? The hidden trap: In 1978, a NASA scientist named Donald Kessler ran a calculation that space agencies have feared ever since. He found there is a threshold. Once you pack enough satellites into orbit, a single collision stops being an accident and becomes a chain reaction. How it works: Objects in orbit travel at roughly 17,000 miles per hour, which is FASTER than a rifle bullet. At that speed, even a fleck of paint hits with the force of a bullet. So when two satellites collide, they shatter into thousands of pieces, and every single piece becomes a hypersonic bullet of its own. Each of those pieces can strike another satellite, which explodes into thousands more. One collision becomes ten. Ten become a hundred. A hundred become a thousand. Tyson warns that within just a few orbits, this cascade could wipe out close to 100% of the satellites around Earth. Now think about what those satellites run... There is no GPS without them, which means no Google Maps, no ride-sharing, and no navigation. As Tyson put it, there is no Uber without GPS. There is no high-speed internet for ships, planes, remote towns, or entire militaries. There is no reliable weather forecasting and no global financial timing. The invisible backbone of modern life runs through a few thousand machines in orbit, and we are stacking them closer together every year with no traffic rules and no cleanup crew. And it has already begun: Four countries have already blown up their own satellites just to flex their military power. The US, China, Russia, and India have all done it, and every one of those tests scattered thousands of fresh bullets into orbit. Tyson even joked that if aliens ever came to visit, they took one look at the cloud of junk we wrapped around our own planet and decided it was not worth the risk to land. Every player already knows the danger. The problem is that the same logic that fills the sky also traps everyone inside it. Starlink is worth a fortune. Global satellite internet is worth a fortune. Military control of orbit is priceless. So everyone keeps launching, because the first one to stop simply hands the lead to a rival. No country will slow down, because no law forces them to and there is no reward for going first. So we keep running the same experiment on the one thin layer of space that every phone, map, market, and military on Earth depends on. We are simply betting that nobody triggers the first big collision. The scary part is that it only has to happen ONCE. We spent decades dreaming about everything we would build out in space but we may end up locked underneath the garbage we left there instead. This is easily the best interview Steven Bartlett has done in a while.

🚨 3i ATLAS: THE MYSTERY OBJECT HEADING TOWARDS EARTH 🌌 I just sat down with Canadian Freedom Train Ambassador Peter MacIsaac — and what he revealed about 3i Atlas, Swan, and Apophis will make you sit up straight. 🔴 3i Atlas is 46 km wide, travelling at 210,000 km/h — faster than any comet ever observed 🔴 Its light source is at the front, not the tail 🔴 It’s pulsing every 17 minutes, making micro-course corrections 🔴 Governments held closed-door meetings after James Webb Telescope data — with no public disclosure And that’s just the beginning. 📡 Another object, 2025 R2 Swan, is inbound — over 100x the size of 3i Atlas. The two will pass within cosmic “walking distance” of each other — a near-impossible probability. 💥 And looming beyond them is Apophis — the asteroid named after the Egyptian god of death — scheduled to pass closer than our satellites on Friday April 13th, 2029. Peter warned: “If Apophis passes through the gravitational keyhole, it’s a 100% impact event. The tidal waves could be 500 metres high. Civilization would never be the same.” 📢 WHAT THIS MEANS: Global governments may already be preparing for an impact scenario — but they won’t tell you until the last possible moment. If society collapses, you will be on your own. 🔥 This is why Freedom Train International is running a 4-hour preparedness special this weekend. We will give you the tools to survive — from food & water storage to communications, security, and precious metals. ⚠️ Do not wait for the government to save you. They won’t. Knowledge is your lifeline. Preparation is your shield. 🕒 Join us LIVE: 📍 Saturday, 7pm UK / 3pm Canada 🎥 On X-Spaces 🌐 💥 Don’t be scared. Be prepared. The clock is ticking. Kyledoops Private

Elon Musk just confirmed the most INSANE IPO in history. SpaceX is going public in 2026. $1.5 TRILLION valuation. Raising $30+ billion. That's the biggest IPO ever made. Beating Saudi Aramco's $29 billion record from 2019. But here's what everyone's missing: This isn't about space tourism or Mars missions. Elon is literally about to win the entire AI race. And 99% of people have no idea how... Here's the problem killing every AI company right now: POWER. Oracle just reported earnings. They burned through $12 BILLION in one quarter building data centers. Their free cash flow? NEGATIVE $10 billion. Revenue missed estimates. Stock crashed 11%. Microsoft, Amazon, Google all scrambling to find enough electricity for AI training. The brutal math: The US generates 490 gigawatts of total power. AI is projected to need 123 gigawatts by 2035. That's a QUARTER of the entire electrical grid. Just for artificial intelligence. Goldman Sachs says AI energy demand could jump 165% by 2030. There is literally not enough power on Earth to run AI at the scale these companies are promising. Every data center needs massive cooling systems. Billions of gallons of water per year. Insane energy costs. And the infrastructure can't keep up. Elon's solution? Stop building on Earth entirely. SpaceX is building data centers in SPACE. Not a concept. Not 10 years out. Literally starting in 2026. They're upgrading Starlink V3 satellites to carry AI computing chips. Each satellite gets 24/7 solar power. No clouds. No night. No weather disruptions. No grid bottlenecks. And the insane part is that Starship can deliver 300 to 500 gigawatts of solar-powered AI satellites into orbit every single year. At 300 gigawatts per year, the AI computing power in space would exceed the entire U.S. economy's total electricity consumption within two years. Just from satellites. Processing in orbit. While Oracle is begging banks for loans to finish data centers and OpenAI is stuck in circular funding arrangements with Microsoft, Elon already owns everything: The rockets. The satellites. The launch infrastructure. The AI company (xAI). He doesn't need to ask utilities for permission. Doesn't need grid approvals from local governments. Doesn't need to build nuclear plants or wait for clean energy. He just launches. And everyone else is scrambling to catch up: Jeff Bezos sees it. Blue Origin announced they're building their own orbital data centers. Google just launched "Project Suncatcher" with plans to deploy AI satellites by 2027. Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, literally BOUGHT an entire rocket company (Relativity Space) just to compete in this space. But they're all 3+ years behind Elon. SpaceX already has 6,000+ Starlink satellites in orbit. The infrastructure is built. The $30 billion from the IPO? Going straight into scaling orbital compute. SpaceX revenue is jumping from $15 billion in 2025 to $24 billion in 2026. Most of that from Starlink. Now add space-based AI infrastructure on top. Here's why this matters: Whoever controls orbital computing controls the AI revolution. And there's only ONE company on Earth with fully reusable rockets that can launch at the scale required. Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, called space data centers "a dream." Translation: Nvidia is screwed if Elon actually pulls this off. Because if SpaceX succeeds, every AI company on the planet becomes Elon's customer. OpenAI needs compute? Running on SpaceX satellites. Google needs more capacity? Renting orbital infrastructure. Microsoft needs power? Paying SpaceX for launch and compute access. Elon won't just be in the AI race. He'll own the entire track everyone else is running on. The $1.5 trillion valuation sounds crazy until you realize what he's actually building. It's not a rocket company. It's the infrastructure layer for the next 50 years of computing. People calling it overvalued have no idea what's coming.

Aircraft Carriers: Very Much Alive, But in a Different Role We all thought aircraft carriers were obsolete, after all, because of their size, it's not hard to hit them with anti-ship missiles. And I would say there are missiles designed for this type of target with ranges up to 8,000 km, putting any large warship at risk. It is precisely in this context that aircraft carriers are reborn as extremely useful assets, because any long-range anti-carrier missile must carry out the initial target acquisition phase supported by its "kill web", which consists of reconnaissance satellites, over-the-horizon (OTH) radars, maritime patrol aircraft, and surveillance drones. Far from the coast, this primary acquisition is performed or enhanced by drones. Missiles such as the DF-21D, DF-26, and DF-27, for example, in addition to the initial guidance phase, rely heavily on external updates (satellites + drones) for mid-course corrections, even flight time being short, the target can displace dozens of kilometers. Once close, they will use their own onboard sensors, such as active radar, IR, optical sensors, and INS. But up to that point, they remain dependent on mid-course guidance. It is in this context that aircraft carriers play a fundamental role in fleet protection, sustaining dozens of HALE and MALE drones patrolling hundreds of kilometers and preventing enemy drones from conducting surveillance and target acquisition. These drones are also essential for interfering with enemy satellites through electronic warfare (EW), helping to keep the squadron safe by degrading or blocking orbital communications and tracking. Other measures will be complemented by the squadron's own EW capabilities, but keeping drones in the air to disrupt the enemy's kill web remains fundamental.

Aircraft Carriers: Very Much Alive, But in a Different Role We all thought aircraft carriers were obsolete, after all, because of their size, it's not hard to hit them with anti-ship missiles. And I would say there are missiles designed for this type of target with ranges up to 8,000 km, putting any large warship at risk. It is precisely in this context that aircraft carriers are reborn as extremely useful assets, because any long-range anti-carrier missile must carry out the initial target acquisition phase supported by its "kill web", which consists of reconnaissance satellites, over-the-horizon (OTH) radars, maritime patrol aircraft, and surveillance drones. Far from the coast, this primary acquisition is performed or enhanced by drones. Missiles such as the DF-21D, DF-26, and DF-27, for example, in addition to the initial guidance phase, rely heavily on external updates (satellites + drones) for mid-course corrections, even flight time being short, the target can displace dozens of kilometers. Once close, they will use their own onboard sensors, such as active radar, IR, optical sensors, and INS. But up to that point, they remain dependent on mid-course guidance. It is in this context that aircraft carriers play a fundamental role in fleet protection, sustaining dozens of HALE and MALE drones patrolling hundreds of kilometers and preventing enemy drones from conducting surveillance and target acquisition. These drones are also essential for interfering with enemy satellites through electronic warfare (EW), helping to keep the squadron safe by degrading or blocking orbital communications and tracking. Other measures will be complemented by the squadron's own EW capabilities, but keeping drones in the air to disrupt the enemy's kill web remains fundamental. Without aircraft carriers, there is no autonomy for these drones to cover the necessary area. Therefore, each aircraft carrier should operate with dedicated drone squadrons on a full-time basis. Very much alive, yes. Only now their game is denying the enemy the ability to find and target us, rather than going out to strike distant bases like in the old days. * Obviously, I support the decentralization m- also of C2-, of fleets and greater investment in smaller units, but large ships will continue to exist and must always be protected in safer areas. To move these the fleet in open sea, will be necessary drone cover, with ACs.

The sun produces more energy in one second than humanity has used in its entire existence. SpaceX thinks the only way to actually use more of it is to leave Earth. Here's why Elon Musk is racing to build data centers in space: 1. Musk frames civilizational progress using the Kardashev scale, a measurement created by a Russian physicist that ranks civilizations by how much energy they can harness. Type one means harnessing a planet's full energy, type two means harnessing a star's energy, and type three means harnessing a galaxy's energy. 2. Right now, humanity registers as essentially nonexistent on this scale. We harness less than a trillionth of the sun's total power output. Musk says we are not even at the level of a micro soul on the scale. 3. The sun makes up 99.86 percent of all mass in the entire solar system. Earth is so small in comparison that it falls into the leftover miscellaneous category alongside everything that is not the sun or Jupiter. 4. Only about half a billionth of the sun's energy even reaches Earth's cross section, and most of that cannot be used because 70 percent of Earth is covered in water, and much of the remaining land is uninhabitable terrain like Antarctica and Siberia. 5. To meaningfully climb the Kardashev scale, humanity has to go to space. Reaching even one millionth of the sun's total energy output would require increasing civilizational energy use by more than a million times current levels. 6. Getting to just 1 percent of the sun's energy would make a civilization vastly more powerful than ours is today. Musk says even reaching that level would represent an extremely advanced civilization. 7. Three core requirements stand between humanity and this goal: mass to orbit capability, a massive amount of solar power, and enough AI chips to actually use that power. 8. Starship solves the mass to orbit problem. It is designed to be the first rocket in history with full and rapid reusability, a breakthrough Musk calls absolutely necessary for making life multi-planetary and for ascending the Kardashev scale at all. 9. Reusability is the same principle behind every successful mode of transport. Cars, planes, boats, and bicycles are all reusable. If airplanes were thrown away after every flight, flying would be far too expensive for anyone to use. 10. Starship is already the largest, heaviest, and most powerful flying object ever built. Version 3 produces more than double the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket, and version 4 is expected to produce nearly three times that thrust. 11. SpaceX currently delivers between 85 and 90 percent of all mass that reaches orbit from Earth using Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. With Starship, the company aims to scale mass to orbit from roughly 2,500 tons a year to millions of tons a year within about three years. 12. The proposed AI satellites are actually simpler to build than Starlink satellites. They mainly need solar cells, radiators, and laser links, without the complex phased array and parabolic antennas that Starlink satellites require. 13. The first version of the SpaceX AI satellite targets 150 kilowatts of peak power and 120 kilowatts of sustained power, roughly matching the output of a single Nvidia GB300 compute rack here on Earth. 14. These satellites will connect to each other through laser links and to the Starlink constellation, which then relays data to the ground. Despite orbiting 600 to 800 kilometers above Earth, the added latency is roughly only 3 milliseconds. 15. Heat management in space is actually easier than on Earth because radiators can simply release heat directly into the vacuum, removing the need for the massive cooling infrastructure required by ground based data centers. 16. SpaceX already operates around 10,000 Starlink satellites and claims to be the only company with real experience safely operating constellations at that scale, which gives them a head start in managing potentially thousands or even up to a million AI satellites. 17. To actually scale chip production to the levels needed, SpaceX is planning what it calls a Terafab, a chip manufacturing facility expected to span roughly 100 million square feet, about ten times the size of the existing Tesla Gigafactory in Texas. 18. The rough timeline targets reaching an annualized rate of 1 gigawatt of space based AI compute by the end of next year, scaling by roughly 10x per year afterward, eventually aiming for a terawatt per year, which is twice the entire current electricity consumption of the United States. 19. To push three orders of magnitude beyond even that terawatt goal, Musk describes building a mass driver on the moon, an electromagnetic rail gun style system that uses the moon's lack of atmosphere and lower gravity to launch satellites into space without needing a rocket at all. 20. Musk frames the long term vision in deeply personal terms. If enough mass and infrastructure eventually moves to the moon, it would become accessible enough that almost anyone who wants to go could go, and potentially even live there permanently.

Elon just created the most valuable private company in history. And the VISION behind this move is going to win him the AI race. Yesterday, SpaceX and xAI combined in a $1.25 TRILLION deal, But this isn’t just a merger. Elon is literally solving AI’s biggest bottleneck: AI needs INSANE amounts of electricity. Every major AI company is hitting the same wall: Power constraints. OpenAI, Google, Anthropic are all racing to build bigger data centers. But they're all stuck on Earth fighting for the same limited power grid. Elon's solution: Move the data centers to SPACE. Last Friday, SpaceX filed with the FCC to launch up to 1 MILLION satellites. Not for internet. For compute. Solar-powered AI data centers in orbit that run 24/7 with zero cooling costs and unlimited energy from the sun. Look: On Earth, you need massive power plants, cooling systems, and infrastructure that costs billions and takes years to build. But in space? You have direct solar power. No cooling needed. Near-constant sunlight. According to Elon: "Within 2-3 years, space will be the lowest-cost way to generate AI compute." The numbers behind this are crazy: SpaceX made $8 billion profit on $15 billion revenue in 2025. xAI was valued at $230 billion standalone. Combined entity: $1.25 trillion heading into what could be the biggest IPO in history. And here's why this actually makes sense: SpaceX already dominates launches. 80% of their revenue comes from launching Starlink satellites. They've perfected reusable rockets. Launch costs keep dropping. Now instead of just launching communication satellites, they're launching compute infrastructure. xAI gets unlimited scalable compute without fighting for power grid access. SpaceX gets a customer that will need constant satellite refreshes and launches for decades. The vertical integration is incredible: SpaceX builds and launches the satellites. xAI runs the AI models on them. Grok gets trained on infrastructure no competitor can access. Starlink provides the communication backbone. Nobody else can replicate this. OpenAI can't launch rockets. Google can't either. What you have to understand about the upcoming IPO: This isn't just "rocket company goes public." It's "AI infrastructure company that happens to own the launch capability" goes public. Investors get exposure to both the AI race AND space commercialization in one ticker. That's why the $1.25 trillion valuation makes sense to Wall Street. Now here's the rational take: This is extremely ambitious. Maybe too ambitious. xAI is burning $1 billion per month right now competing with OpenAI. Space-based data centers have never been done at scale. The satellite constellation would be the largest in history by 100X. Technical challenges are massive. Regulatory approval isn't guaranteed. But if it works? Elon isn't just winning the AI race. He's changing WHERE the race happens. Imagine training AI models with 10X the compute power at 1/10th the cost because you're not constrained by Earth's power grid. That's game over for competition. The timeline to watch: Mid-2026: SpaceX/xAI IPO (largest in history) Late 2026: First orbital compute satellites launch 2027-2028: Proof of concept for space-based AI training If this actually delivers, we're looking at: The first trillion-dollar private company IPO. A new category of infrastructure (orbital compute). AI development unconstrained by terrestrial power limits. If it doesn't deliver? Well, it's still SpaceX with $8B in annual profit and dominance in launch services. Plus xAI with a $230B valuation and Grok. The risk-reward here is asymmetric. Downside: You own the world's most valuable rocket company. Upside: You own the infrastructure layer for all future AI development. Do you think datacenters in space could work?

Belarus has become Russia’s nuclear staging ground. Belarus has not been annexed. But functionally, it has already become part of Russia. Lukashenko has long existed only with the Kremlin’s permission. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Lukashenko officially appeared to be a bystander - yet missiles and columns of tanks moved through Belarusian territory. Russia used it as its own operational zone. In March 2023, Putin announced the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. In December 2024, Russia and Belarus signed the Treaty on Security Guarantees that legalized permanent Russian bases and legally included Belarus in Russia’s nuclear strategy. Since mid-2025, around 2,000 Russian troops have been permanently stationed in Belarus, including air defense and aerospace units. In December 2025, the Oreshnik ballistic missile entered combat duty near Krychaw. In May 2026, large-scale joint nuclear exercises were held: 64,000 troops, 200 missile launchers, 73 surface ships, and 13 submarines. The nuclear sharing agreement marks a departure from Russia’s long-standing position, as Moscow spent decades criticizing NATO’s nuclear-sharing arrangements. Now it is reproducing the same model it once condemned. The 2024 nuclear doctrine explicitly equated a conventional attack on Belarus with an attack on Russia - automatically creating conditions for a nuclear response. Control over the warheads officially remains with Moscow. But Putin stated that Lukashenko himself would select targets for Oreshnik deployed in Belarus. In other words, the Belarusian president would bear public responsibility for missiles launched by Putin. Now to the arsenal and the numbers. As of March 2026, Russia possesses around 4,400 nuclear warheads in total, of which up to 2,000 are assigned to non-strategic tactical forces. Belarus hosts Iskander-M - the 465th missile brigade in Asipovichy. Range: up to 500 km. Accuracy: 5-7 meters. Nuclear warhead: 10-50 kilotons. Vilnius is just 340 km away. Flight time: 3-4 minutes. NATO would have virtually no warning time. Oreshnik belongs to another category. Speed exceeds 14,000 km/h. Up to six independent MIRV blocks, each capable of deploying up to six sub-warheads. Range exceeds 5,500 km. Interception by modern air defense systems is almost impossible. From Belarusian positions, Oreshnik can reach an airbase in Poland in 11 minutes and NATO headquarters in Brussels in 17 minutes. Berlin, Ramstein, and Warsaw all fall within range. According to Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, only three missiles had been produced at the time of deployment. One was used against Dnipro in November 2024. One was destroyed in Kapustin Yar during a joint operation involving Ukraine’s Security Service, Defense Intelligence, and Foreign Intelligence Service. The Kremlin plans to produce up to six missiles per year. There is also Lida airbase - just 40 km from the Lithuanian border. Modified Su-25 aircraft are capable of carrying nuclear bombs. The most dangerous problem is neither range nor speed. It is the impossibility of identification. Until the moment of impact, it is impossible to determine whether Oreshnik carries a nuclear or conventional warhead. Every launch is an automatic nuclear alarm regardless of the actual payload. This ambiguity is a strategic weapon no less important than the warhead itself. Now to the likely scenarios. ◾️ The most likely scenario is not total nuclear war. It is a "demonstration strike": a single low-yield tactical strike against a peripheral military base - for example, an airfield in Poland or the Baltics. The goal is not destruction but testing Article 5. The Kremlin’s logic: "You will not launch a nuclear response over a single tactical strike." ◾️ The second scenario is an Oreshnik strike against a NATO logistics hub: Rzeszów, Ramstein, Warsaw. Most likely with conventional warheads. But this cannot be confirmed before impact. Even a conventional strike under the carrier’s nuclear ambiguity could freeze weapons transit to Ukraine. Shock and fear of escalation alone would be a sufficient outcome for the Kremlin. ◾️ The third scenario is a strike on a nuclear power plant with a conventional warhead. A radiological effect without the formal use of weapons of mass destruction. Maximum psychological pressure on Europe. ◾️ The fourth: a new ground offensive against Ukraine launched from Belarusian territory under nuclear blackmail. NATO freezes, Ukraine becomes isolated, and the frontline shrinks by 400 kilometers. Finally, let’s turn to the West’s response - or the absence of one. No symmetrical nuclear response followed. NATO did not deploy nuclear weapons in the Baltics or Poland. The response remained conventional: additional brigades and expanded air defense. New START expired in February 2026. No new treaty exists. Verification of nuclear arsenals is effectively absent. The United States abandoned the "voluntary compliance with limits" proposed by Russia. Patriot and THAAD were not designed to intercept targets at Mach 10 with maneuvering flight trajectories. Kyiv directly called Belarus’s transformation into a "nuclear outpost" near NATO borders an unprecedented challenge to the global security architecture and a dangerous precedent that de facto legitimizes nuclear proliferation among authoritarian regimes.

Shock and fear of escalation alone would be a sufficient outcome for the Kremlin. ◾️ The third scenario is a strike on a nuclear power plant with a conventional warhead. A radiological effect without the formal use of weapons of mass destruction. Maximum psychological pressure on Europe. ◾️ The fourth: a new ground offensive against Ukraine launched from Belarusian territory under nuclear blackmail. NATO freezes, Ukraine becomes isolated, and the frontline shrinks by 400 kilometers. Finally, let’s turn to the West’s response - or the absence of one. No symmetrical nuclear response followed. NATO did not deploy nuclear weapons in the Baltics or Poland. The response remained conventional: additional brigades and expanded air defense. New START expired in February 2026. No new treaty exists. Verification of nuclear arsenals is effectively absent. The United States abandoned the "voluntary compliance with limits" proposed by Russia. Patriot and THAAD were not designed to intercept targets at Mach 10 with maneuvering flight trajectories. Kyiv directly called Belarus’s transformation into a "nuclear outpost" near NATO borders an unprecedented challenge to the global security architecture and a dangerous precedent that de facto legitimizes nuclear proliferation among authoritarian regimes.

$ASTI Ascent Solar Technologies Space and Drone Solar Panels The "Going to Zero" or Mispriced Space/Drone Solar Play Intro and comparison to $RKLB and $RDW panels Let’s get the ugly stuff out of the way first. $ASTI is a distressed penny stock with a ~$5M-$10M market cap. • They burn millions in cash. • 2024 Revenue: ~$40k. 2025 Revenue (YTD): ~$60k. • They generate less revenue than a single Tesla Model Y. • They have diluted shareholders relentlessly. $ASTI just raised $2M in December with the potential of $3.5M more via warrants while being a ~$5M mcap "company". Yikes. To most, this is "uninvestable trash." Stay away. Full stop. So why did I buy ~5% of the float? IF the technology works and IF they execute then I believe this is a massive market pricing dislocation about to inflect. They have been grinding for years and may finally be hitting an inflection point. $RKLB Rocketlab is the king of space solar and they are my second largest position overall, but here is why $ASTI might be a very high risk but asymmetric bet in Space & Defense right now. 1. The Tech Pivot: Flexible CIGS vs. The World Ascent started in 2005 but pivoted 2 years ago from consumer to pure-play Space & Defense. They have sunk ~$250M and 20 years of R&D into proprietary CIGS (Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide) thin-film technology while building out fully domestic and vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities. The Physics: • Thickness: 0.03 mm (Thinner than paper). • Flexibility: Wraps around drones/satellites; rolls up like a poster. • Durability: "Self-Healing" capabilities against space radiation. Can take a bullet or micrometeoroid and keep working. Can handle shocks/vibration. Does not shatter. The Metric that Matters: Specific Power (W/kg) (aka energy to weight ratio) In space, mass means cost and difficult decision decisions. • Rocket Lab ($RKLB) / Spectrolab: ~150 W/kg (System level). • Ascent Solar ($ASTI): ~1,960 W/kg (Module level). $ASTI is roughly 10x lighter for the same power output potential (mass-wise). This frees up design limitations and cost. 2. The Competition: $RKLB & $RDW Rocket Lab (SolAero) & Redwire (iROSA): • Tech: Rigid Crystal Cells (Multi-junction) embedded in a fabric mesh. • Pros: Extreme Efficiency (~30%+). Perfect for limited surface area. • Cons: Heavy, Brittle, Expensive ($3k-$10k per Watt). Manufacturing multi-junction cells (SolAero) involves slowly growing crystals in a vacuum chamber. With radiation the panels degrade and loose efficiency over time which will limit the satellite lifespan. • Use Case: James Webb Telescope, Flagship missions. Ascent Solar (ASTI): • Tech: Flexible Thin-Film on Plastic. • Pros: Ultra-light, Durable, Cheap ($500-$1k per Watt). Manufacturing CIGS is roughly similar to printing newspapers (roll-to-roll). The panels are radiation degradation resistant and will outlive the satellite • Cons: Lower Efficiency (~17.5%). Requires 2x surface area. • Use Case: Mega-Constellations (Starlink/Amazon Leo), Small/Low cost satellites, Drones, Deformable surfaces. The lower efficiency is not an ASTI failing. It is the inherent physics trade-off of not using glass/rigid silicone. The downside however is increased atmospheric drag with very larger/massive panel sheets. Because ASTI modules are ~50% less efficient than rigid panels, they require ~2x the physical surface area to generate the same amount of power. In GEO (High Orbit): Drag doesn't matter. Weight savings are king. A massive solar array allows for more sensors and longer project lifespan. ASTI is highly competitive here. In LEO (Low Orbit): Atmospheric drag is real. A massive solar array acts like a large parachute, causing the satellite to de-orbit faster unless it burns more fuel to stay up. At LEO, smaller satellites are a better fit for ASTI. 3. Durability & Radiation "Self-Healing" Radiation Hardness This is ASTI's "Ace in the Hole" for physics. The Problem: In space, high-energy protons (radiation) smash into solar cells, creating atomic "defects" that trap electrons. Over time, this kills the panel's power output (degradation). The CIGS Advantage: CIGS (Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide) material has a unique property where heat (annealing) allows the atomic structure to relax and "heal" these defects. Self-Healing: Because CIGS heals at relatively low temperatures (often achieved just by the sun heating the panel), it suffers significantly less degradation than traditional Silicon or even some GaAs panels over long missions in high-radiation belts (like MEO or GEO). Lifespan: While a rigid GaAs panel might lose 15-20% of its power over 15 years (enough to kill a satellite), CIGS panels heal and can maintain a flatter power curve, potentially outlasting the satellite itself in high-radiation orbits. 4. Brittleness & Flexibility ASTI (CIGS on Polyimide): Flexible. You can roll it like a poster. It can take a bullet or micrometeoroid and the hole will just be a dead spot; the rest of the panel keeps working. It does not shatter. Redwire (ROSA) & Rocket Lab (SolAero): Brittle Cells on a Flex Blanket. $RDW's ROSA (Roll-Out Solar Array) typically uses rigid multi-junction cells (made by SolAero/Rocket Lab or Spectrolab) mounted on a flexible mesh fabric. The Risk: If you bend the cells too far, they crack. They rely on the mesh backing for flexibility, but the active generating material is still a brittle crystal wafer. Much heavier, more expensive, and less durable than $ASTI's option 5. The Inflection Point (Why Now?) After years of silent struggle, late 2025 has seen an explosion of activity. Recent Agreements (Nov/Dec 2025): NovaSpark: Hydrogen-powered military drones. $ASTI panels generate power in the field → NovaSpark creates hydrogen fuel. CisLunar Industries: Integrating ASTI solar with power conversion hardware for deep space longevity. Defiant Space: A strategic alliance to act as the "door opener" for classified DoD/NATO programs.

They are field testing with 3 major players: • Company A: Mega-constellation (+2,500 satellites). • Company B: Space Defense (Explicitly mentioned "Golden Dome"). • Company C: Satellite Manufacturer (30-200 unit scale). Management: New board members include a former founding member of SpaceX and a retired Air Force General and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Contracting (acquisitions expert). The company started in 2005 based out of Colorado, but two years ago pivoted to Space & Defense and away from consumer applications. Made in USA: Defense contracts heavily favor domestic supply chains. ASTI manufactures in Colorado. This is a huge moat against cheap Chinese solar. In their Q3 report they note that their market has seen sudden recent acceleration. The space solar industry is currently only capable of 8 to 12 MW per year of production meanwhile the demand is growing to over 100 MW per year. 6. The Risk (The Sword of Damocles) ⚠️ This is critical. $ASTI just raised ~$2M in December. Attached to that raise are ~2 Million Warrants with a strike price of $1.70. These are exercisable immediately. If the stock rips to $3.00, warrant holders exercise at $1.70 and dump on the market for a risk-free 76% profit. This creates a massive "sell wall" and potential 40% dilution of the float. Summary: This is a binary bet. • Bear Case: They run out of cash in 6 months, dilution spirals, stock goes to $0. • Bull Case: They land one of the "Company A/B/C" contracts. Revenue jumps from $60k to projected $20M+ in 2026. The stock reprices from a "bankrupt penny stock" to a "critical defense/space supplier." I have gradually accumulated ~5% of the float. I am ready for it to go to zero. But if the space economy demands "Cheap, Light, and Durable," $ASTI is the only public pure-play. Disclaimer: This is a very high-risk microcap. Do your own due diligence. Not financial advice.

🧵 Evasive Maneuvers In the aftermath of the USS Trembling Puppy acknowledging the loss of yet another fighter aircraft in the midst of a Yemeni missile attack, many speculations have arisen regarding what actually happened. The "official" story is that an F/A-18 and its tow tractor were flung overboard while performing "evasive maneuvers" in the face of oncoming Yemeni anti-ship cruise missiles. Many are skeptical of the "official" story of the jet going overboard as a result of an evasive maneuver. Some think a US carrier would not even attempt an "evasive maneuver" to elude a cruise missile. But US carriers are trained on such maneuvers, even though I suspect they have limited potential efficacy. Some think the Yemeni may have used loitering drones to shoot down an F/A-18 on landing approach to the carrier. This is an interesting conjecture, and while I do not dismiss it outright, I consider it less likely than the "official story". Let's first consider the anti-ship cruise missiles, which are either Iranian "hand-me-downs", or at least based on legacy Iranian designs, with a range up to 2000 km, a speed of ~.7 Mach, and a ~250 kg warhead. From a launch point in Yemen, it would require over an hour of flight time to travel the 1000+ km distance to the carrier strike group in the northern Red Sea. It must be assumed that US surveillance assets are able to track such missile launches along their entire path, and so CSG-8 should have been continuously apprised of the position of the various components of the strike package. In other words, Rear Adm. Sean R. Bailey, commander of Carrier Strike Group Eight, and Captain Christopher "Chowdah" Hill, commander of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), both should have had real-time intelligence at every moment for 4+ hours of drone flight time, and over an hour of cruise missile flight time. That said, the MQ-9 Reaper drone is one of the integral components of US persistent surveillance capability — and as has been widely reported, the Yemeni have now shot down 22 of them, several in the last month alone. So it is altogether possible that US surveillance of these missile launches could be meaningfully impaired. At any rate, I figure the Yemeni are firing cruise missiles which, at best, have about a 250m circular error probability at a distance of 1000+ km. Even a salvo of a dozen would struggle to score a hit on a moving ship 1000 km away — and the Yemeni have typically only fired 2 or 3 in any given salvo. But apparently at least one got through the perimeter air defenses and the combat air patrol on this particular occasion, and was on a threatening track towards the Trembling Puppy. Therefore Captain Soggy Cookie veered in a panic, dumping an F/A-18 and its tow tractor into the sea, and splashing salty seawater into the still-open wound of the Trembling Puppy's February 2025 collision with a cargo ship just north of the Suez Canal. Anyway, no matter the as-yet-uncertain details, it's clearly another indisputable embarrassment for the US Navy, which has sought in vain for a year and a half to break the Yemeni selective blockade of the Red Sea. With the recent addition of the USS Timid Vinny (CVN-70), which is cowering somewhere in the calm blue waters of the northern Arabian Sea, the Yemeni have now put the fear of Allah into five separate US Navy carrier strike groups over the course of the past eighteen months. Alas, as I have long observed, there are #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight. In any case, this simple fact remains: against all odds and prior expectations, the chronically underestimated Yemeni remain the gatekeepers of the Bab-el-Mandeb, and are inflicting upon the United States Navy one of the most decisive strategic defeats in its heavily mythologized history.

🚨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.

🚨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.

🚨BREAKING: Swedish Treasure Hunter Dennis Asberg (Dennis Asberg) May Have Found a 60 Meter UFO on the Baltic Seafloor (With electromagnetic Anomalies, Right Angles, Corridors And It’s Not Attached To The Seabed Floor Like a Normal Geological Formation!) 🚨 World-class Swedish wreck diver Dennis Åsberg, co-founder of Ocean X, reveals 15 years of data from the Baltic Sea Anomaly–a 60 meter disc-shaped structure at 90 meters depth producing GPS failures, electromagnetic interference, perfect right-angle geometry, and a new 2025 sub-bottom profile suggesting the object is detached from the seabed. His team has retrieved biological material, burned debris, basalt (in a region where it shouldn’t exist), and recorded temperature anomalies approaching 0°C directly over the structure. Åsberg, who has recovered Tsarist submarines, 1600s cognac shipments, and dozens of major wrecks, says this is the most anomalous discovery of his career. 1. The Discovery (2011): On a midnight sonar sweep while hunting a champagne wreck, the team imaged a perfectly round, 60-meter object with sharp edges and a long “track” stretching behind it. No wreck expert in the U.S., Europe, or Australia could identify it. Åsberg went public — and everything changed. 2. Geometry That Shouldn’t Exist: Divers report straight walls, 90° corridors, and a hard, uniform surface. A large circular opening appeared to be pulsing sediment in and out, described as “breathing.” Lab tests on loose samples revealed burned organic material and basalt, despite geologists stating basalt should not occur there naturally. 3. Tech Malfunctions & EM Interference: Multiple expeditions recorded GPS dropouts, dead sonar, failing ROVs, and cameras shutting down only over the object. One reading registered the anomaly like a “high-voltage power line” on the seafloor. Even a modern Stockholm University research vessel experienced equipment interference. 4. Temperature & Biological Oddities: Water temperature around the object plunged from normal 4–5°C to nearly 0°C. The Baltic at that depth is normally dead, yet biological debris was found. A diver with over 6,000 logged dives said he had “never seen anything like it.” 5. New 2025 Evidence — It’s Detached: The latest expedition’s sub-bottom profiling (performed with a university research team) suggests the object is separate from the bedrock, not a geological formation. It is shaped, structured, and resting on the seafloor, not rising out of it. This is the most important data point in 15 years. 6. NATO Ships & Intelligence Interest: After going public, Åsberg’s crew found themselves surrounded by 6–7 NATO vessels — French, German, American, British — plus a Swedish corvette drifting through their dive lines. A later meeting with Swedish intelligence showed officials denying ships were present, despite Åsberg having video evidence. He also had threats made against his family during this time. 7.Almost miraculously, the object has been struck by lightning, a meteor has hit the Baltic Sea right next to it (infantescimally low odds) and smoke appeared coming out of the water above it. All extremely bizarre anomalies adding to the mystery. We show footage of ALL OF THIS. 8. The 1996 Nuclear-Site UFO: Long before the anomaly, Åsberg witnessed a 600–700 meter cigar-shaped craft hovering over a Swedish plutonium facility — silently, at low altitude, rotating to reveal a perfectly circular form before shooting upward and vanishing. The incident anchored his belief that some objects in our world are far beyond conventional explanation. If you want the most detailed, firsthand account of one of the strangest physical UAP mysteries on Earth, one involving sonar data, diver logs, electromagnetic anomalies, and new university-backed analysis, this is the episode.
