More and more papers are coming out about the upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). As the telescope moves from theory to practice (and physical manifestation), various working groups are discovering, defining, and designing their way to the world’s next major exoplanet observatory.
The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it possible to carry out quantum computations on pairs of photons that are each in four different quantum states, or combinations thereof. The advancement is an important milestone for optical quantum computers. The study has now been published in Nature Photonics.

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At its simplest form, a microresonator is a tiny device that can trap light and build up its intensity. Once the intensity is high enough, researchers can perform unique light operations.
Retired Navy Lt. Commander Alex Dietrich, a veteran combat pilot, gave an eye-witness account of a Tic Tac UFO. Dietrich spoke to Anderson Cooper about what she saw off the coast of San Diego in 2004. At the time, she was on a routine training mission off the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier 100 miles southwest of San Diego. Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich and Cmdr. Dave Fravor, a graduate of the TOPGUN naval flight program, also appeared on 60 Minutes to discuss what they saw together. They both described an “unsettling” experience with a Tic Tac UFO.
Strangely, the Tic Tac-shaped UFO had no exhaust plumes, markings, or apparent means of propulsion. Notably, both pilots reported their sighting in a debriefing but didn’t think there was any formal investigation at the time. Behind them, each pilot had a weapons system officer in the seat, who each witnessed the UFO. Unsettling, Unexplainable EncounterOn November 14, 2004, Dietrich and her fellow crew gave “thorough debriefs” about the sighting minutes after landing. Furthermore, hours after landing, Dietrich says she gave a written account about the UFO. Years later, she gave even more details in what she calls an “interrogation-style” interview to members of Navy intelligence and the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). Dietrich was a new pilot flying with the VFA-41, also known as the “Black Aces.” That day, she was flying a F/A-18F as part of an exercise to intercept and identify a “real-world contact,” after command redirected her squadron. When the pilots arrived at the specified coordinates, it looked like something the size of a Boeing 737 had crashed, creating roiling whitewater.
Suddenly, her heart-sinking feeling changed into the surprise of a lifetime. Unpredictable MovementAll of a sudden, instead of the expected search and rescue effort, something extraordinary happened: a UFO that closely resembled a white Tic Tac appeared.
Notably, Fravor’s account on 60 Minutes was somewhat different:
According to their observations, the aircraft was about the size of an average aircraft fuselage.
See a clip of her appearance on 60 Minutes below: Related: Charles James Hall: Tic Tac UFOs Belong to ETs He Encountered Called ‘Tall Whites’ Commander Engages the Tic Tac UFOUpon seeing the Tic Tac UFO, commanding officer Fravor decided to engage with the craft. Meanwhile, an “uncomfortable and inexperienced” Dietrich (as she put it) fell back to give cover, circling above as Fravor approached. When Fravor’s fighter moved forward, the Tic Tac abruptly disappeared. All the while, the stunned pilots discussed what was happening on their radio.
According to Fravor’s account, the Tic Tac began mimicking his moves as if aware of his presence. 60 Miles in SecondsSeconds later, the USS Princeton’s radar reacquired the location of the Tic Tac UFO 60 miles away. Furthermore, the ship’s radar had also detected “multiple anomalous aerial vehicles” descending 80,000 feet in less than a second. According to CBS News, the pilots later found out the USS Princeton had been tracking UFOs for days. However, the pilots were left uninformed and unarmed.
In all, the strange encounter lasted about five minutes.

However, she says she’s “not qualified to make the analysis.” Although she isn’t sure what the UFO could be, she appeared to encourage other pilots to come forward. Even so, she may not have come forward at the time if she had been the only witness.
Notably, both Fravor and Dietrich had endured “ribbing” from their fellow crew about their reports. Today, she says everyone can contribute to a data pool of sightings.
By contributing their UFO reports, the veteran combat pilot hopes that intelligence analysts and scientists can use the data to draw “reasonable, rational conclusions.” Today, the pilots say they have no idea who was responsible for the Tic Tac UFO. We All Want AnswersAfter finally coming forward with her account, Dietrich says she’s seen many camps of people fascinated by her story. Thus, UFO enthusiasts, debunkers, conspiracy theorists, and religious fanatics have all shown interest on Twitter. Unfortunately, they seem intent to fight each other as much as getting to the truth.

Over the past few decades, researchers have worked to rigorously demonstrate such advantages, ideally in ways that are provable, verifiable and experimentally realizable.
Grounded until at least April, NASA’s giant moon rocket is headed back to the hangar this week for more repairs before astronauts climb aboard.
In 2004, Sean Cahil, retired US Navy Chief Master-at-Arms, was aboard the USS Princeton when radar picked up extraordinary Tic Tac UFOs.
Appearing with Christopher Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Cahil described the Tic Tac UFO’s abilities.
The Five ObservablesIn 2008, Luiz Elizondo was first detailed to the secret UFO program sponsored by Senator Harry Reid, then called the Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program. Later, it became the Advanced Aerial Threat Identification Program or AATIP. During his time at AATIP, Elizondo compiled a list of extraordinary feats that unidentified aerial phenomena shared:
Tic Tac UFO AbilitiesAccording to Sean Cahil, the Tic Tac UFO was capable of all of the five observables and more.
Increasingly Bold UFOsHost Chri Cuomo asked Mellon what he made of the matter.
Although the UFOs haven’t been hostile, the activities have become bolder, says Mellon.
Now, Mellon says, considering all the tensions in the world involving drone attacks, it’s something to take seriously. See the interview below from CNN: What’s Changed About UFOs?Cuomo asked Mellon why there is a new urgency in studying UFOs today. In response, Mellon discussed the frustration Elizondo faced in AATIP. As pilots on the East coast saw UFOs frequently, Elizondo’s program was low on resources and unsupported by the intelligence community. In frustration, he retired in 2017 and joined a group organized by Tom DeLonge, “To the Stars Academy.” Then, a report in the New York Times that year finally got attention from Congress. The report detailed $22 million spent on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, exposing the Pentagon program to the world.
A UFO BreakthroughNext month, the US executive branch could issue a public UAP report of its activities related to the phenomenon for the first time in half a century. Meanwhile, journalists at POLITICO and the New Yorker have detailed how Elizondo, journalist George Knapp, DeLonge, Mellon, and many others have pushed UFOs into the mainstream. Today, DeLonge says there has been a breakthrough as the conversation has changed.
A Public UAP ReckoningAs we prepare for the June UAP report, nobody knows for sure what to expect. According to Cahil, the Tic Tac UFO encounter may be just the tip of the iceberg.
Although he isn’t sure what the UFOs represent, Cahil knows they seem far beyond human technology.
However, Cahil doesn’t necessarily think the UAPs are necessarily extraterrestrial.
Otherworldly Origins?On the other hand, Mellon says there’s no reason to rule out extraterrestrial origins. As for otherworldly origins, Mellon says, “There’s no scientific reason or basis to doubt that possibility. That’s a hypothesis that could explain the facts. People need to be open to that. We’re spending billions looking for extraterrestrial civilizations. We’ve got spacecraft that have already left the solar system. It’s possible somebody found us before we found them.” So far, ETs haven’t made contact, and perhaps that’s because they see us as something like less intelligent animals in a zoo. “If they’re as smart as we think they are then I think we’re kind of silly thinking we can guess their motives,” says Cahil. Or, perhaps it’s like former Israeli space security chief Haim Eshed said?
More about the upcoming UAP report from POLITICO: Featured image: Screenshots via YouTube/CNN Using commercially available technology and innovative methods, researchers at NBI have pushed the limits of how fast you can detect changes in the sensitive quantum states in the qubit. Their work allows researchers to follow rapid changes in qubit performance that were previously invisible. The study is published in the journal Physical Review X.
Researchers in Belgium have unveiled a striking chemical reaction in which ripples along a frozen reaction front resemble the rays of a shining star. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, Anne De Wit and colleagues at the Université Libre de Bruxelles have shed new light on the patterns that emerge in reaction–diffusion systems, offering fresh insight into how similar structures arise in the natural world.
When we think of ice on Mars, we typically think of the poles, where we can see it visibly through probes and even ground-based telescopes. But the poles are hard to access, and even more so given the restrictions on exploration there due to potential biological contamination. Scientists have long hoped to find water closer to the equator, making it more accessible to human explorers. There are parts of the mid-latitudes of Mars that appear to be glaciers covered by thick layers of dust and rock.
Reservoir computing is a promising machine learning-based approach for the analysis of data that changes over time, such as weather patterns, recorded speech or stock market trends. Classical reservoir computing techniques are known to perform best at the “edge of chaos,” or in simpler terms, at a “sweet spot” in which the behavior of systems is neither entirely predictable (i.e., order) nor completely unpredictable (i.e., chaos).
In June, a public UAP report on unidentified aerial phenomena is due as requested by the Senate Intelligence Committee. However, multiple current and former government officials say military and spy agencies are “blocking or simply ignoring the effort,” reported POLITICO. Sen. Marco Rubio requested the UAP report, which is required to provide “a detailed description” of all unidentified aerial phenomena reporting for the federal government, “regardless of which service or agency acquired the information.”
Nevertheless, it seems the report will likely be incomplete, delayed, and highly redacted, similar to a recent CIA document dump. Now, the Biden administration may decide to delay the report due to all the roadblocks. Public Perception of a CoverupIn all likelihood, delaying the forthcoming report would only strengthen the public’s perception of a coverup.
Such perception would be entirely logical, given the long history of coverups, such as the decades of secret multimillion-dollar UFO study programs. Also, recent public statements by Trump’s former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe make it clear there may be much more to cover up than we know. For example, Ratcliffe said, “there are a lot more sightings” than the public is aware of. Furthermore, Ratcliffe explained that U.S. military craft and satellites picked up aircraft moving with unknown technology, even breaking the sound barrier without a sonic boom. Public Disclosure in the UAP Report?Despite Rubio’s request, it’s plain that the Pentagon maintains the position that protecting national security takes precedence over public disclosure. Thus, the Air Force deferred reporters’ questions to the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Then, Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough responded without addressing criticism:
From this statement, we can assume any report would redact UAP details. Taking it SeriouslyAlready, Rubio has asked fellow lawmakers to take the report seriously on 60 Minutes.
Further, Rubio acknowledged a stigma about the subject.
Now, consider that some in Congress may giggle at the mere mention of UFOs and that the report will almost certainly be incomplete. As for us, we gave up a long time ago on seeing many in Congress take issues seriously. Former Pentagon Intelligence, Christopher MellonAccording to former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence Christopher Mellon, the Air Force has denied access to information. Also, a Navy-led Pentagon task force set up last August has few personnel or resources to gather any evidence. Further, government bureaucracies are stymying the efforts, as one would expect.
On the other hand, Mellon notes that, in contrast, the “tide is turning against the illogical stigma” preventing objective UAP study. Former AATIP Leader Lue ElizondoWhistleblower and former AATIP leader Luis “Lue” Elizondo, who now works with Mellon and other former high-level officials at To The Stars Academy of Arts and Sciences, says delaying the June UAP report might be the best outcome. Instead, an interim report using more time and resources would serve the public better.
Recently, Elizondo tweeted that he does not think the recent sightings could be attributed only to drones.
In a 60 Minutes interview, Elizondo says that while the government has confirmed the UFOs are real, it has also been covering up the truth. See Elizondo in the clip from Inside Edition: Decades of Stigma and SecrecyEven as decades of stigma and ridicule are giving way to mainstream UFO acceptance, it’s clear that full disclosure at this time would be extremely unlikely. Already, we can see that the June UAP report will withhold much from the public. As Mellon said, even getting government agencies to agree on the language used will prove challenging.
Therefore, we can all plan to continue searching for the truth after the UAP report comes out. In all likelihood, the prevailing attitudes of stigma and secrecy will not just vanish like a UFO. Indeed, these attitudes were carefully cultivated for decades to discourage interest in the subject. For an in-depth analysis of how it was done, see the recent piece by Gideon Lewis-Kraus in the New Yorker.) Public Interest Only GrowingOn the other hand, now that the government has disclosed that UFOs are authentic, interest is only going to grow from there. As public interest grows, we could be more likely to see the disclosure about UFO origins. Perhaps, one day, we’ll even learn about extraterrestrials? For those interested, Mellon recommended the new “explosive documentary,” called The Phenomenon.
The film touts itself as “the most credible film ever made about the global mystery involving unidentified aerial phenomenon.” In the documentary trailer, Mellon states, “We need to accept that we are not alone in the universe.” Featured image: Screenshot via YouTube K-9 Nazar was deployed after the suspect resisted and a TASER deployment was ineffective; during the apprehension, the suspect punched the dog and compressed his neck
