There is an unsettling if *very* remote possibility that primitive life began on Mars during the early, congenial 'Warm Wet' phase, then mega-impact transferred some to Earth. Where it survived, flourished while Mars 'died'... Which would make us *all* Martians. Conversely, bio-stuff could have gon...

It’s on Disney+ now so I finally got around to watching it. I would say it’s quite good, entertaining, cool action, and with some humor. Elle Fanning does a great job. They even managed to get the CGI to not look crappy unlike many other movies from the last few years.

Interesting, a bit I had not noticed before or had forgotten. When Lyta is scanning Kosh to see who the bad guy is, Kosh calls Sinclair Valen when they first meet.....bit of a giveaway... Yeah I reacted to that as well, I guess before you’re introduced to the concept of Valen later on it’s not some...

Please do not presume a deal with the French will be easy, fixed or in any way low maintenance. There is a reason the UK has repeatedly walked away from the French and it's not some prevailed francophic prejudice. This is why we're seeing Germany struggle with just such a relationship with France. ...

To be fair France has a lot to offer. ArianeGroup's MBT missile with a potential 3,000km range for example. They do indeed. In particular they have a lot of things to offer that would be attractive to adress certain military needs of Sweden and which we don’t have equivalents in production, and whi...

Now (the mildly speaking ”controversial”) Dr. Steven Greer has joined in: President Trump is ready to sign an executive order on UFO/UAP disclosure. Dr. Steven Greer just met with Trump administration officials in D.C. “I saw the drafts. They are real.” Trump believes there are benefits to revealing...

Plot twist, an interview with Barack Obama on Brian Tyler Cohen’s podcast released today. Cohen asked: ”Are aliens real?” Obama responded: “They’re real” “But I haven’t seen them. They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility — unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hi...

An update from NASA, looking very promising for life on Mars: NASA Study: Non-biologic Processes Don’t Fully Explain Mars Organics In a new study, researchers say that non-biological sources they considered could not fully account for the abundance of organic compounds in a sample collected on Mars ...

So just to add another bit of detail, this Mark Christopher Lee which is stating the things above is apparently also saying that his source is planning to come forward on May 1st and hold a press conference with more details on the supposed Trump disclosure speech. It would be a bit interesting to s...

Babylon 5 is being released to watch for free on youtube. One episode a week is coming out to keep the viewer experience of the original release with the pilot ”The Gathering” being out now, it can be watched here:

Welcome news to me!

Another claim along the same lines, now with date included. Again, apply salt. Donald Trump’s has ground breaking UFO speech ‘ready to go’, insiders claim 11th February 2026 05:22pm GMT Lum Donald Trump’s has ground breaking UFO speech ‘ready to go’, insiders claim Brace yourselves A ufologist has s...

Maybe a bit of a twist that we didn’t see coming. As you may have noticed the collaboration between Germany and France on a new fighter isn’t going well and various sources claims that it’s essentially dead in the water. The ”Tom Antonov” account on X, which is a French defense commentator with appa...

Naval Group and leading Swedish shipyard Oresund Drydocks AB, have signed a MoU for a Partnership Cooperation Agreement, on February 2, 2026, during the stopover of the FDI Amiral Ronarc'h in Sweden. This partnership aims to develop a local frigate maintenance facility in Sweden. Navantia signed an...

Here’s an article by Navy Lookout which describes the Babcock/Saab bid a bit, and also seems to view it as having a decent chance to win. Note that I believe they made a slight mistake in writing 6 billion kronor when it should be about 60 billion. Babcock pitches Arrowhead-120 variant for the Swedi...

A new book of interest is out, and a good summary on what it is about can be found in the cited article below. There’s also a PDF version of the book available for free as well, the link to which can also be found below. But in short, Josephus has long been regarded as the first non-Christian to wri...

The Arrowhead 120 does look less impressive. Apart from being essentially a budget design as noted, I get the impression that the space and weight has gone more towards extended ocean cruising rather than towards weapons systems. The balance between the two on the FDI seems to be more in line with S...

I watched an interview with a Naval Group representative in Gothenburg, conducted by Naval News. He mentioned that a potential Swedish version could integrate the Bofors 57 mm, Bofors 40 mm, RBS-15 and Torped 47. We also got confirmation that the earlier appearance in the thread of a combined Aster-...

The defence material administration handed over its recommendation as to which option should be procured last week to the defence department, but it isn’t public. Now we have to wait for cabinet to make the decision. Both Navantia and Naval Group did a final push in conjunction with this. A Spanish ...

Laura Trump commented briefly on the disclosure rumors, seems that she thinks that Trump may be planning on some disclosure. She also said that sometime after his first term her husband Eric Trump asked Trump what he could tell them about UFOs and that Trump was hesitant to say anything which made h...
