June 27 UFO Report, Black Holes and Star Birth by:

A UAP, or unidentified aerial phenomenon, sighted by a U.S. Navy pilot. The new U.S. intelligence report could not confirm or deny an extraterrestrial source for this or any other of the more than 140 sightings they studied. Meanwhile, astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson commented, "I wish we had better evidence than monochromatic, fuzzy Navy video." Video still via the Washington Post.

US intelligence report: 140 unexplained UFOs, no aliens The U.S. intelligence community released a much-awaited report on June 25 on what the military calls unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs. That's military jargon for what most of us call UFOs. The report listed 144 such objects between 2004 and this year. Navy aviators sighted many of them.

In June 2021, astronomers said that these supermassive black holes might bring about new star birth! Do they? Read more.

Keep watching ... Moon, Jupiter, Saturn late night to dawn By Sunday night and Monday morning, the moon rises between Jupiter and Saturn. Before Monday's dawn, you can see this trio of objects - the moon, Jupiter, Saturn - in a triangle, high in your sky. If you're not a night owl or an early bird, wait for a month. By early August, Saturn will be opposite the sun, rising in the east when the sun sets in the west. Astronomers call this an opposition to Saturn. Saturn's opposition comes on August 2, and Jupiter's opposition comes on August 20. Read more.
