Extremely strange aircraft are spotted flying through our skies every single day. This is happening in every part of the globe, and those that are having experiences with these aircraft come from a wide variety of different cultures. It has become exceedingly obvious that something is going on, but of course there is a tremendous amount of disagreement about what all of this means.
Some argue that these aircraft have an extraterrestrial origin, others argue that they have a terrestrial origin, and yet others believe that most of these sightings can all be explained as “experimental military aircraft”, drones, weather balloons or other man-made anomalies. But at this point nobody can deny that there is lots of strange activity happening above our heads, and it appears to be accelerating.
Over the past few days, some remarkable footage that was captured by a model named Valentina Rueda Velez has generated quite a bit of controversy…
A model has recorded the jaw-dropping moment a UFO zoomed past her cockpit at 20,000ft.
Valentina Rueda Velez captured the clear footage of the object when while in a private plane on Tuesday, April 4.
In the clip she shared on Instagram Story, she is flying at an altitude of 20,000 feet under a bright, blue sky.
I had to watch the footage for myself, and I have to admit that I was quite impressed…
Even though the footage is quite stunning, that doesn’t mean that it is real.
With the video editing technology at our fingertips, it is just so easy to fake something like this.
And many would argue that some random model is not exactly the most credible witness. But we have no way of completely dismissing this footage either.
At this point I could share dozens of other UFO videos that were shot by unknown people, and we could go through the same analysis over and over again. Needless to say, that wouldn’t get us very far.

So let me shift gears and talk about the U.S. military. Since it was established less than a year ago, the “All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office” has been getting “hundreds” of new UFO reports from members of the U.S. military…
The U.S. government’s brand new UFO-tracking office has been open for half a year but business is already booming.
Over the last six months, the office — named the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) — has received “several hundreds” of new UFO reports from U.S. military personnel, office director Sean Kirkpatrick told the Associated Press. This adds to more than 140 UFO sightings reported by the military between 2004 and 2021, which were previously described in a much-anticipated report from the Pentagon in June 2021.
Are all of these individuals that are serving in our armed forces making these sightings up?
Of course not.
On Wednesday, the head of the AARO told Congress that his office is now in the process of evaluating approximately 650 different incidents…
The Pentagon is investigating a rising number of cases involving unidentified aircraft, the head of the agency’s effort told senators on Wednesday, and is now tracking some 650 incidents.
In the old days, U.S. officials worked very hard to keep speculation about UFOs very quiet. But now they are being a lot more open about these things.
Why is that?
The head of the AARO, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, has even co-authored a paper that suggests that “an artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth”…
The Pentagon official wrote in March that “an artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth” and that these “small probes” or “dandelion seeds” could be separated from the “mothership” by either the gravitational force of the sun or by maneuvering capability. Kirkpatrick wrote that “these tiny probes would reach the Earth or other solar system planets for exploration, as the parent craft passes by within a fraction of the Earth-Sun separation.”
“Once an Earth-like planet is targeted, an interstellar device can plunge into its atmosphere. In principle, a multitude of tiny devices can be released from a mothership that passes near Earth,” Kirkpatrick wrote. “Within a close range to a star, extraterrestrial technological probes could use starlight to charge their batteries and liquid water as their fuel.”
Personally, I think that Dr. Kirkpatrick’s theories are not exactly on target, but this just shows how much the narrative has shifted.
When I was growing up, those that talked about the existence of UFOs were considered to be a bit nuts.
Now they are running government agencies.
In my latest book, I have an entire chapter about the UFO phenomenon. Even though government officials are now discussing these issues in public, I believe that much is still being hidden from us, and I also believe that we are being set up for a deception of historic proportions.
A lot of people assume that those that are piloting these strange aircraft must be friendly, but there is a tremendous amount of evidence that they are not.
For example, UFOs have been heavily linked with the bizarre cattle mutilations that have been happening for decades in the western half of the country. Earlier today, I came across another example of this phenomenon…
Texas authorities have been left with more questions than answers after finding six cows dead along a rural highway with their tongues cut out.
Ranchers in Madison County, about 100 miles southwest of Waco, first discovered a 6-year-old longhorn cross cow lying on her side, dead and mutilated last week, the local sheriff’s office announced on Wednesday.
The cow’s tongue was removed ‘with no blood spill’ and a ‘straight, clean cut with apparent precision’ had been made to remove the hide from around the cow’s mouth on one side.
If you study this, you will find that there have been countless examples of cattle being mutilated in ways that it would be impossible for humans to do.
But we aren’t supposed to really talk about such things, are we?
We are just supposed to put our blinders on and pretend that everything is fine.
Unfortunately, the frequency of UFO sightings appears to be reaching a crescendo, and I believe that this will be an absolutely enormous story in the years ahead.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
