Antarctica’s ice conceals mountains, liquid-water systems and geothermal activity. We examine what scientists have actually discovered beneath the ice — and why the hidden landscape has become linked with UFO theories.

Smoke-like plumes rising around Antarctic glaciers can look deeply mysterious. Some observers connect such imagery with UFO theories, but atmospheric science offers a very different explanation.

Mysterious multicoloured lights filmed over Tehran have revived UFO speculation almost exactly 50 years after Iran’s famous 1976 encounter. But what do the new videos actually show?

Could an unknown intelligence remain hidden beneath Earth’s oceans? From USO reports to the enormous unexplored deep sea, we examine the underwater intelligence hypothesis and the evidence behind it.

A new US defence waiver changes how certain UAP whistleblowers can provide protected information to PURSUE. It does not, however, amount to proof of extraterrestrial technology.
