In a detailed report published by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division, the concept of a “UAV Mothership” has been outlined, revealing a sophisticated design aimed at enhancing the U.S. Navy’s operational capabilities with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This mothership concept is set to serve as a dedicated vessel for launching, recovering, and maintaining large swarms of UAVs, positioning itself as a crucial platform in modern naval warfare. Revolutionary Concept for Unmanned Swarms The most intriguing aspect of the report is the emphasis on the vessel’s ability to deploy “mass swarms” of UAVs. According to the document, the mothership…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK8mcZ__hEo A recent release of documents obtained through two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests filed by The Black Vault in 2021 and 2022, has shed light on a briefing about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (now referred to as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena [UAP]) by the UAP Task Force (UAPTF) for NASA. The UAPTF was a U.S. Department of Defense program established to investigate UAP reports, running from 2020 until its transition to the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) in 2021. The requests specifically asked for “all communications, emails or otherwise, between the UAP Task Force, and NASA,” after…
In 1961, the U.S. Naval Ordnance Test Station (NOTS) conducted a groundbreaking experiment aimed at modifying hurricanes, a project known as “Project Cyclops.” This initiative involved an attempt to influence the behavior of hurricanes through cloud seeding, using a specially developed silver iodide dispersal system. The project’s most notable test took place on Hurricane Esther in September 1961. The primary objective of Project Cyclops was to disrupt the structure of hurricanes by releasing silver iodide into their cloud systems. Silver iodide acts as a nucleating agent, encouraging the formation of ice crystals from supercooled water droplets within storm clouds. In…
