NEWS

Pentagon ‘UFO Files’ From 2023 Show Unique Flying Objects Over UAE Waters 🛸

  • So this just happened - The Pentagon dropped a dozen of historical UFO files, and some of them include strange sightings over UAE waters and the wider Gulf region 👀

  • The files were released following an order from President Donald Trump earlier this month, as part of a push for “more transparency” around long-standing UFO-related claims 🙌

  • One of the most talked-about report dates back to June 1, 2024. The footage was recorded by an infrared sensor aboard a US aircraft flying over the Gulf of Oman, and the US officials described it as something resembling an “inverted teardrop” with a vertical bar-like structure underneath.

  • Other footage from the region shows small, fast-moving objects tracked by military cameras moving over ships, buildings, and open water 🌊

  • Observers even suggested it could just be a reflection or optical anomaly. So before you jumps straight to the aliens theory, there is nothing that looks like a UFO in the sci-fi sense of the term and no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence yet 🫡

NEWS

UAE Police Stopped To Check On A Person Who Was Cycling All The Way From India To Mecca 🕋

  • Hafiz Hakim Talib, a rider who has been cycling all the way from India to Mecca, experienced a very wholesome moment when he was stopped enroute by the UAE Police 👮

  • The officers asked him where he was headed, checked in on his journey, and listened as he explained everything. “I am going to Mecca and Medina,” he told them. And they simply said “Insha Allah” ❤️

  • The officers then checked if he needed any help and reminded him to be careful while cycling at night, especially with fast-moving traffic 🛣️

  • They even offered to escort him for safety. But Hakim politely declined, saying he would continue on his own 🫡

  • After they exchanged their Salaam’s and parted their ways, Hafiz shared the video praising the UAE police for being “so friendly and nice” 🥹
