The Cosmic Report – weekly UAP and space news – farfetched folklore

This week’s Cosmic Report tracks the latest in space and UAP news, from NASA’s AI-driven discoveries to resurfacing UFO claims involving astronauts, classified footage, and congressional oversight.

The cosmos is real, but many aspects related to it are often deemed “out there” and farfetched, as this week reflected that beautifully. In case you missed anything, we’ll bring you a few leaps of the imagination that went above and beyond.

Galactic anomalies

We start with NASA and their use of AI in detecting galactic anomalies from 35 years of archival footage of the Hubble Telescope. Just imagine how long it would take the human eye to trawl through over 100 million image cutouts.

Hold on though, as the good stuff is right here. Some of the astrophysical anomalies included galactic mergers and interactions, gravitational lenses with surreal forms, jellyfish-shaped clusters, and what’s colloquially known as “hamburger discs.”

The images the AI brought back are highly kaleidoscopic.

A brand new civilization?

Cybernews also discussed the plausibility of Elon Musk’s bold and bombastic notions of sending a million Space X satellites into orbit, and explained what the colossal Kardashev scale is.

Will Musk achieve it? Only fate will tell.

Congress on board

Just a few months ago, it seemed farfetched that politicians would get on board with UFO whistleblowers, especially when those such as Matthew Brown and David Grusch often left bureaucratically waylaid.

Speaking this week on the brand new Aliens Last Night podcast, US congressman Eric Burlison said on classified archival UAP footage, that some of the videos “defy physics.” Let’s see if any of this footage ever sees the light of day for public viewing.

Snakes in orbit

A clip resurfacing this week features Kevin Knuth, a former NASA contractor, speaking on the American Alchemy podcast.

Knuth leans into the more surreal edge of astronaut UFO lore, including accounts of shuttle pilots describing snake-like shapes writhing outside their windows in orbit, imagery that has lingered for decades.

“A shuttle pilot saw snake-like things in space.” This NASA physicist just revealed that NASA is covering up proof of astronaut encounters with UFOs in space. Gemini 11 mission transcripts confirm a UFO flew over the astronauts and messed with their equipment.

He also revisits Gemini 11, where astronauts reported something flying past their spacecraft, an exchange preserved in public transcripts since the 1960s.

Online posts now stitch that moment together with other unresolved cases, giving old, vivid anecdotes the feel of fresh disclosure despite no new evidence emerging.
