Definition

Plural of UAP, i.e. Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: the official US government term (adopted in 2022-23, replacing "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena") for objects or events in the air, at sea, in space or transmedium that cannot be immediately identified and may show anomalous performance. Often used interchangeably with UFO, but framed as a neutral, data-driven category that does not assume extraterrestrial origin.

The Luminous Humanoid of Vivoorde w/ Zelia Edgar

Somewhere in the SkiesOct 23, 2026

In December 1973, a 28-year-old man in Vilvoorde, Belgium, got up at 2 a.m. and saw a small glowing humanoid in a sparkling green suit and domed helmet 'vacuuming' a pile of yard debris in his garden. The being walked straight up and over a 10-foot wall like a cartoon character before a saucer-shaped craft rose from behind it and shot off into the stars, after which the unbothered witness made himself a snack and went back to bed. Host Zelia Edgar explores the case's recurring patterns, including luminous eyes, mysterious metallic noises, and repeat witnesses, and proposes that the entity may be Low Countries household-spirit folklore dressed up in UFO imagery.

Ryan Sprague reacts live to the sixth batch (tranche) of UFO files released through the Pentagon's PURSUE initiative, which includes military infrared videos, police cellphone footage, and Defense Intelligence Agency technical documents. The highlight is a newly declassified 1952 audio presentation by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, head of Project Blue Book, in which he admits that about 20% of roughly 800 cases remained unexplained. Sprague dismisses most of the videos as poor quality but finds Ruppelt's candid discussion of the Lubbock Lights, the green fireballs, and silent disc-shaped objects historically valuable.
