"We have enough indirect evidence to say that the existance of nonhuman intelligence is no longer laughable, that it's not irrational."
- Astrophysicist Matthew Szydagis, Professor at University of Albany.
For 80 years they laughed in our faces, told jokes behind our backs, and left tin foil hats on our desks. No matter how much we showed and discussed with them, it never clicked until now. Once you realize it's real, there's never any going back. It doesn't matter who laughs, who jokes, or who makes the most pointed hat for us anymore.
True believers always knew we'd have the last laugh because you can't unsee the truth.
I was on CBS Sunday Morning alongside my brilliant fellow UAP Science Advisory Council members, Prof. Matthew Szydagis and our newest member, Ryan Graves (@uncertainvector), to discuss UAP and the Council’s work.
I appreciate Stephen Miller’s (@StephenM) leadership in advancing the administration’s PURSUE initiative to bring greater transparency to UAP records. Our scientific efforts aim to build on this important work by bringing scientific analysis to the evidence made available.

The American mind could never comprehend
Wait what?? I just ordered food online from a train seat with my phone while blasting at 305 km/h speed & on the next station the delivery guy brought it to my seat. What?!
Obviously while having full 5G coverage alongside the whole route.
China 🇨🇳, you are blowing my mind. 🤯

Elon woulda thrown a rocket on the back and caught it mid-air to bring down for display
The ground transport of the Space Shuttle Endeavour through the streets of Los Angeles in October 2012 was treated as a complex geometry and structural engineering problem. Moving a 170,000-pound spacecraft with a 78-foot wingspan and a 5-story height through a dense urban layout required over a year of meticulous mathematical and logistical planning.

The oscillation is a key factor when determining the authenticity of such as an actual flying disk aka saucer.
Many, many witnesses describe the movement as a top wobbling on a table or a leaf falling through the air. Skeptics tend to overlook these types of similarities when reviewing.

Reasons I walk around talking to AI between 8-12 hours a day, daily. I just stay on the phone with it if I'm not otherwise engaged to keep productivity up and learning flowing.
Productivity and gaining knowledge does not stop just because I need to do laundry, go to the gym, or cut my lawn (yes I cut my lawn yesterday talking to an AI agent the entire time building software).
If you’re the type of person who is curious and gets dopamine hits from learning things, talking to an AI can become super addictive.
This is the type of pleasure no human can give you. No human knows so many things and no human will have the patience to explain so many things, dive deeper on topics you want etc. But AI is so patient.
It’s a whole new level to 3 am internet deep dives into obscure topics, like drinking from a fire hose.

New: Space Force now has its own special operations HQ, according to an internal memo.
Why it matters: The Space Force has taken on key roles in recent military ops, and the new component field command will further weave the service into future missions.

Inspired by feather stars, the NC State researchers report a soft underwater swimming robot capable of achieving three distinct swimming modes—jellyfish-like vertical swimming, fish-like directional steering, and rotor-like 3D reorientation—using only two pneumatic inputs. By embedding mechanical intelligence into its elastic structure, the robot seamlessly transitions among these modes for agile and versatile underwater maneuvering. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) reveal the distinct hydrodynamic mechanisms underlying each swimming mode.
The multifunctional swimmer can also be equipped with magnets, hooks, and miniature cameras for underwater waste collection, cooperative manipulation, environmental monitoring, and exploration. This work offers a promising platform for future adaptive and autonomous soft robots capable of navigating and performing tasks in complex and unstructured underwater environments.

Honestly it's sick. Can I get a road model?
China’s autonomous tractor goes viral! 🚜
China’s aging rural population and labor shortages are forcing a rethink in agriculture, and the answer may already be working the fields.
The Honghu T70 is a fully electric, autonomous tractor developed in China. It’s a production-ready machine already in use across Hebei Province, with nationwide rollout planned.
It can autonomously complete the entire farming cycle, ploughing, seeding, spraying, and harvesting, without a driver.
It collects real-time data on soil composition, moisture, and crop health, navigating with centimeter-level precision using China’s satellite system. 📡
It’s fully electric, charging via grid or renewables, making it well-suited for rural regions.
If deployed at scale, small farms could be managed by a single person with a fleet of robots, helping China reduce dependence on imported Western machinery and opening export markets in Southeast Asia and Africa.
With over 20% of the national workforce still in agriculture, automating rural labor could free up millions for cities and industry.
