Recent developments in the UFO disclosure movement have converged across religious, scientific, and governmental fronts, suggesting that humanity may be approaching a turning point in our understanding of UFOs. 

New Pope Disclosing UFOs?

The Vatican has emerged as an unexpected player in the UFO disclosure landscape. The newly elected Pope Leo XIV has been labeled as the potential “disclosure pope” by former Vatican advisor Daniel Sheehan, who previously served as general counsel to the Jesuit headquarters in the US. According to Sheehan, Pope Leo XIV shares a fascination with the intersection of science and theology similar to his namesake Pope Leo XIII, who founded the Vatican Observatory in the 1800s. Sheehan claims this pope sees it as his mission to help humanity prepare for the reality of non-human civilizations, though no public statements from Pope Leo XIV about UFOs or extraterrestrial life have been verified.

This Vatican connection deepens with the revelation that President Jimmy Carter, who famously reported his own UFO sighting before becoming president, allegedly approached the Vatican in the 1970s to gain access to their UFO files. While Carter did visit the Vatican in June 1980 and became the first US president to stay overnight there, no public record exists of UFO discussions during this visit. Interestingly, when Carter approached then-CIA director George Bush Sr. about UFO information, his request was reportedly blocked. The Catholic Church has shown increasing openness to the concept of extraterrestrial life, with the Vatican acknowledging in 2009 that belief in alien life does not contradict Catholic teachings, and the late Pope Francis even stating he would baptize extraterrestrials if they requested it.

UFO sighting VIDEO in the Mojave Desert

In a separate development, remarkable footage has emerged from the Mojave Desert near 29 Palms, California. A witness staying in a remote cabin reported observing a pulsating hexagon-shaped object in the sky that hovered for approximately 15 minutes. The object was described as brighter than a full moon with irregular, jerky movements, and at one point appeared to morph from its hexagonal shape into a more circular form with an empty center. This was reported to NUFORC. Investigators ruled out conventional explanations such as the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch, which occurred three hours before the sighting, or satellite activity, due to the object’s unusual movements.

The Mojave Desert has long been recognized as a UFO hotspot with hundreds of reported sightings over the years, making this documented encounter particularly noteworthy for researchers. Find video here.


NASA Surgeon’s UFO Claims

Perhaps most compelling are the claims from Dr. Gregory Rogers, a former NASA chief flight surgeon who worked with the space agency during the 1990s. Rogers alleges that he was shown CCTV footage of a flying saucer inside a military hangar, marked with US Air Force insignia, suggesting possible reverse-engineered technology. According to Rogers, the craft was approximately 20 feet wide with a seamless surface, a shallow dome, three black triangles on its upper half, and no visible control surfaces. Most remarkably, Rogers claims the saucer levitated three feet off the ground, rotating clockwise before reversing direction and coming to a complete stop. When Rogers inquired about the craft’s origin, an Air Force major allegedly gestured upward and simply stated, “We got it from them.”

Rogers’ account gains credibility when placed alongside similar testimonies from astronauts who have reported UFO encounters. Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper maintained throughout his life that he encountered UFOs multiple times during his career, including a 1963 sighting during his Mercury Atlas 9 mission when he reported a greenish object approaching his capsule, corroborated by radar from Australia’s tracking station. Cooper also reported a 1951 sighting of a metallic saucer-shaped disc while piloting an F-86 over Germany and a 1957 observation of a silent flying saucer that allegedly landed on tripod legs at Edwards Air Force Base. Cooper claimed photographic evidence from the Edwards incident was confiscated by the Pentagon.


More recently, former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao, a veteran of multiple space missions and the 311th human to reach space, reported a close encounter in August 2024 while piloting his private aircraft near Houston, Texas. Flying at approximately 9,000 feet, Chiao described how two spherical metallic orbs roughly three feet in diameter passed within 20 feet of his plane — a dangerously close proximity that could have resulted in a collision. Notably, these objects weren’t detected on radar, weren’t broadcasting FAA-required transponder signals, and air traffic control never alerted him to their presence.

UFO Briefing at Capital Hill 

These developments coincide with increased governmental attention to the phenomenon. On May 1, 2025, a congressional briefing titled “Understanding UAP Science, National Security, and Innovation” brought together key experts organized by the UAP Disclosure Fund. The panel included notable figures such as Avi Loeb, Christopher Mellon, Dr. Eric Davis, Mike Gold, and whistleblower Matthew Brown, who provided information about the “Immaculate Constellation” to journalists Jeremy Corbell and Michael Shellenberger.


The briefing yielded significant revelations, including Dr. Loeb’s urging Congress to invest $1 billion in tracking technology while revealing interstellar metal recovered from the Pacific during one of his investigations. Eric Davis spoke about a secret program recovering UFOs since the 1950s, while Christopher Mellon highlighted 1,800 military UAP reports despite suspicious gaps in radar data. Tim Gallaudet discussed where a classified UFO memo was erased from his computer, and Mike Gold disclosed uninvestigated UAP images in NASA’s archives, including a “tic tac” object photographed on Mars.

As UFO disclosure builds momentum across multiple fronts — scientific, governmental, and religious — the question remains how much longer the truth can be contained. All eyes remain on the US government, which was reportedly preparing to release more UAP-related documents, though a scheduled UFO hearing appears to have been canceled. Meanwhile, countries like Japan and institutions like the Vatican are stepping into the spotlight, transforming the conversation about UFOs from fringe conspiracy theory to worldwide phenomenon deserving of serious investigation.


The convergence of these developments — Vatican interest, documented sightings, and insider revelations — suggests we may be approaching a pivotal moment in humanity’s understanding of unidentified aerial phenomena. Whether through governmental disclosure, religious interpretation, or scientific discovery, the search for answers continues to gain momentum across the globe.
