00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:03.069
UFO Daily is brought to you with the help of AI.

2
00:00:03.910 --> 00:00:08.160
This is UFO Sightings Today. The National Security Agency told

3
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.019
a Freedom of Information Act requester that it found a

4
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:16.300
three-page record linked to QAnon and kept it entirely classified.

5
00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:21.089
That report comes from the Black Vault. The NSA's response,

6
00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:23.250
dated March 25, 2026, refuses to disclose subject, origin, or date.

7
00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:33.329
Agencies often withhold material on national security grounds. Still, the

8
00:00:33.369 --> 00:00:36.789
bare fact that a short record exists and remains secret matters.

9
00:00:37.530 --> 00:00:40.810
It puts one more page beyond public scrutiny, and it

10
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:44.109
forces the question of what the government considers too sensitive

11
00:00:44.149 --> 00:00:48.390
to even acknowledge. Nick Pope, who ran the British Ministry

12
00:00:48.429 --> 00:00:50.670
of Defense UFO program from 1991 to 1994, has died

13
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:58.679
this week. According to public reports... He spent decades reading

14
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.020
and briefing on files other people rarely see. His voice

15
00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:07.299
helped bring government records into public debate. The community he

16
00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:11.319
helped build is grieving. The community has long noted a

17
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.379
troubling pattern of researchers and witnesses dying under notable circumstances.

18
00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:20.859
Another name is now added to that list. A recent

19
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.189
Reddit post from a first-time poster in Orange County describes

20
00:01:24.219 --> 00:01:28.200
an odd, building low noise. on the top floor of

21
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.620
a parking structure near John Wayne Airport at dusk. They

22
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.819
looked up and saw nothing. The thread is full of

23
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.079
calls to avoid premature alien claims, alongside debates about new

24
00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:46.670
terminology and warnings against orb narratives. These reports are unverified.

25
00:01:47.349 --> 00:01:52.989
Treat them as starting points, not conclusions. Official investigators remind

26
00:01:53.030 --> 00:01:56.340
us of the obvious. Most daytime and dusk anomalies trace

27
00:01:56.390 --> 00:02:02.069
to aircraft, satellites, drones, satellites in low light, sensor artifacts,

28
00:02:02.469 --> 00:02:07.849
or ordinary urban noise. Agencies also say classification is routine

29
00:02:08.349 --> 00:02:13.250
when national security could be implicated. Skepticism is not dismissal.

30
00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:17.360
If you want to know what's actually in the sky tonight, planets,
