As 2025 draws to a close, a series of extraordinary global events have left scientists, governments, and the public grappling for explanations. The past twelve months delivered a cascade of mysteries worthy of science fiction, from unexplained aerial phenomena to potential interstellar visitors and subterranean discoveries.
Silent Swarms and Government Secrets
The year's unsettling events began in earnest in late 2024 with the mysterious appearance of drone swarms along the US East Coast. Hundreds of reports flooded into the UAP tracking website Enigma Labs, describing large, silent 'car-sized drones' over New Jersey, including the golf course of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.
By January 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed a temporary ban on drone flights in 22 New Jersey towns, but sightings continued unabated. Upon his return to the Oval Office, President Trump tasked his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, with investigating the activity. The White House later stated the drones were 'not the enemy' and were authorised for government research, a claim the FAA supported by labelling them lawful commercial craft.
However, the origin and purpose of the swarms remained opaque until August 2025. At an Army summit, off-the-record comments revealed an unnamed private firm contracted by the US military had taken responsibility, claiming they were testing advanced aerial vehicles.
The Buga Sphere and an Interstellar Visitor
Weeks after the drone crisis, attention shifted to Colombia, where a strange spherical object, dubbed the Buga sphere, was filmed crashing in March 2025. Recovered by local resident David Velez el Potro, who refused to surrender it to authorities, the object was analysed by scientists.
They reported it contained a maze of fibre-optic wires, emitted harmful energy, and was covered in symbols resembling ancient scripts like runes and Ogham. Transported to Mexico City for study, the sphere's examination was reportedly interrupted in June by 'fake policemen' attempting to access its vault. It remains under non-governmental scientific control, hailed by some as the first privately recovered UFO.
Then, in early July, astronomers detected 3I/ATLAS, only the third recorded interstellar object to enter our solar system. While NASA and the European Space Agency classified it as a comet, Harvard physicist Avi Loeb identified at least a dozen anomalies. He suggested its three-mile-long form might be artificial, citing an 'anti-tail' facing the wrong direction, possibly indicating engine exhaust.
Loeb noted the object has curiously aligned itself with Jupiter's Lagrange points—gravitational 'parking spots'—and will pass the planet on 16 March 2026. He proposed it might release satellite-like devices there.
Ancient Secrets and Modern Disclosure
Beneath the sands of Egypt, a potentially paradigm-shifting discovery unfolded. In March, Italian researchers using radar pulses claimed evidence of a vast underground city stretching over 4,000 feet beneath the Giza Pyramids. By July, they identified a large shaft leading to chambers under the Sphinx.
Mainstream archaeologists have criticised the findings as speculative, and physical proof remains elusive. The team is seeking permission to conduct non-invasive digs in 2026 to verify their claims.
Meanwhile, the push for transparency on UFOs gained unprecedented momentum. In September, military whistleblowers testified before the US Congress, presenting a video showing a Hellfire missile bouncing harmlessly off an orb-shaped UFO. Vice President JD Vance pledged to 'get to the bottom of' the alien life question.
The November documentary 'The Age of Disclosure' interviewed high-ranking officials about an alleged 80-year cover-up. As the year ended, speculation surged that President Trump might be days away from a major disclosure, leaving the world waiting to see if 2026 will finally provide answers.
