Scientist Makes Shocking UFO Discovery

A dark matter physicist at a major research university is preparing to publish findings that could fundamentally challenge the government’s official position on unidentified aerial phenomena. Dr. Matthew Szydagis, a professor at the University at Albany who typically works on the world’s largest dark matter detection experiment, has been analyzing material allegedly recovered from a 1947 crash site in New Mexico. The isotopic ratios in this material do not match anything produced on Earth, and he claims the government’s AARO’s report on the same material was incomplete, omitting half the elements and failing to list isotopic configurations entirely.

Dr. Szydagis developed a new non-destructive technique to analyze what is known in research circles as the “Art’s parts,” fragments that have circulated among scientists studying unidentified aerial phenomena. His work as a member of UAPX, a scientific organization investigating UAP, represents a growing trend of credentialed researchers applying rigorous scientific methods to a subject long dismissed by mainstream academia. The physicist mentioned on the Danny Jones podcast that he plans to publish his findings in a peer-reviewed journal by the end of 2025, providing what he describes as definitive evidence that challenges official government assessments. Despite facing professional consequences, including frozen research grants and being passed over for promotions due to his UFO research, Szydagis maintains his commitment to what he calls finding the truth.

This scientific investigation parallels research conducted by Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka, a religious studies professor at the University of North Carolina who has documented what researchers call “the invisible college,” a network of scientists studying UFO phenomena that originated in the 1950s. According to her research presented on the Mighty Pursuit Podcast, this network includes physicists Hal Puthoff and Eric Davis, along with computer scientist Jacques Vallee. The term was coined by astronomer J. Allen Hynek, who investigated UFOs for the Air Force through Project Blue Book. Pasulka distinguishes between publicly known researchers and what she calls “the invisibles,” active personnel with security clearances working on classified programs who cannot speak publicly about their work.

Between 2011 and 2012, aerospace professionals began contacting Pasulka about her historical research on aerial phenomena in Catholic records, treating these accounts not as cultural artifacts but as descriptions of physical events. This led to a 2016 expedition where Pasulka traveled blindfolded to an alleged crash site in New Mexico with two scientists, including Stanford professor Garry Nolan and a mission controller with aerospace clearances identified by the pseudonym “Tyler”. Using metal detectors, they recovered material from a site covered in disintegrating military equipment from the 1950s. Tyler, who holds 44 aerospace patents according to Pasulka’s research, claims to use specific protocols involving sleep, sunlight exposure, and hydration to enable what he describes as “downloads” of technological insights.

The Pentagon’s official acknowledgment adds credibility to these independent investigations. In 2021, the Department of Defense officially recognized that unidentified aerial phenomena are real. According to their latest report covering mid-2023 to mid-2024, the Pentagon documented 767 reports of aerial phenomena, with 21 cases remaining truly anomalous after investigation. These objects reportedly perform maneuvers impossible for known aircraft, including instantaneous acceleration, trans-medium travel between water and air, and speeds that would destroy conventional materials. Szydagis references calculations by Dr. Travis Taylor, from the Secret of Skinwalker Ranch TV series suggesting that if these craft are capable of interstellar travel, nuclear weapons would be insignificant to them due to the shielding required to survive relativistic speeds through space.

Historical accounts support the persistence of these phenomena. Pasulka documents her father’s experience as a Coast Guard radar operator in the 1950s, when his ship tracked an underwater object the size of a football field near Alaska. According to his account, when the object positioned itself beneath the vessel, all electrical systems failed for four hours before the object departed. Admiral Tim Gallaudet has collected similar accounts of what researchers term USOs, unidentified submersible objects, that emerge from the ocean and ascend into the atmosphere. This trans-medium capability appears repeatedly in military reports spanning decades.

The convergence of peer-reviewed research, congressional testimony from intelligence officers, Pentagon acknowledgment, and documented networks of credentialed scientists studying these phenomena represents a significant shift in how UAPs are approached. Whether these objects represent foreign technology, natural phenomena not yet understood, or something that challenges current scientific frameworks remains an open question. What has changed is that the question itself is now being asked by researchers willing to stake their professional reputations on finding answers.
