We’re excited to announce the Disclosure Forum 2026. Taking place June 25, 2026, this all-day event on Capitol Hill will bring together voices across government, science, and public life to advance the conversation around unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), transparency, oversight, and the path forward. As public attention continues to grow, the Forum is intended to help frame the next phase of this conversation: not only what is being disclosed, but how disclosure should unfold and what follows from it. forum.disclosure.org

Anthropic pays engineers $750,000 a year to understand how AI models actually work. Stanford just put the same knowledge on YouTube. 2 hours. Completely free. This is the lecture that teaches you what most AI courses skip entirely. Not how to use the tools. Why they work the way they do. The engineers who understand the why build things the people who only know the how cannot even conceive of. The gap between those two groups is $750,000 a year. You can close most of it in an afternoon. Bookmark this before you scroll past it. Watch it this weekend. Not eventually. This weekend.

@inspiredcreatv Thank you for your kind words, Courtney. Genuinely grateful to be connected with such a forward-thinking community. There’s so much to explore at the edges of disclosure, science & innovation. Looking forward to learning, contributing, & connecting with more of you along the way.

I'd like to personally thank Jonathan Berte and Maura Mindrila for all their incredible, tireless work. Both Jonathan and Maura exude a sort of selflesslessness in this community that is hard to find. Equally, they bring the people together who matter, make an impact, have integrity, and have stayed above the fray. They are both of excellent character and when I heard of their departure from Sol I had to double check merely because it would be a huge loss to the organization and also for all of us. I would encourage anyone who knows the efforts they put in to reach out to them and share your gratitude for their hard work.

Many Thanks to the SOL foundation for a truly groundbreaking event in Italy. Amazing speakers, great conversations and perfect organization. I hope this wasn't the last time this happened on the old continent. Europe needs this Symposium to continue! @_SolFoundation @jonathanberte @MauraMonesca @GarryPNolan

Expanding Frameworks in UAP Research – Reflections from Eduardo Figueroa at the @_SolFoundation Symposium 2025. In a conversation with Greg Bishop, Edoardo Segato-Figueroa, founder of Orbeterra, discussed the importance of broadening the frameworks through which UAP phenomena are studied. Dividing his time between Italy and Hawai‘i, Figueroa emphasized the value of exploring non-extraterrestrial theories—approaches that consider ultraterrestrial, terrestrial, or breakaway civilization hypotheses—as productive scientific models rather than speculative margins. “Many of these frameworks,” he noted, “are not receiving sufficient attention or being utilized as structured methods for data interpretation.” Figueroa advocates for integrating perspectives from environmental conservation, biodiversity studies, and evolutionary biology into UAP inquiry, arguing that ethical and scientific engagement with the phenomenon requires a holistic understanding of Earth’s own systems. “If we are truly acting from a scientific point of view,” he observed, “we need to be unbiased.” His reflections align with a growing movement within UAP Studies to situate the phenomenon within an expanded ecological and epistemological context—one that recognizes the continuity between human, planetary, and potentially non-human intelligences. #SolSymposium2025 #UAPStudies

We were proud to attend @_SolFoundation Symposium 2025 in Italy. A great opportunity to share ideas, build new connections and strengthen international dialogue on UAP. #sol2025 #uapX #UFOx

UAP TALK #08 is online! (free for all: 6.30 CET) Maura Mîndrilà the Director of Strategy at the SOL Foundation. We talk about her career, the SOL Foundation, its goals in Europe and the upcoming SOL Symposium in Italy. (The interview is partly in German but mostly in English)

This year’s Sol Foundation symposium is just around the corner, and available to stream for everyone wanting to participate but unable to attend in Italy (sign up is at the link below). For a taste of the energy and excitement of the event, we're resharing in the comments a talk from our first, 2023 symposium by none other than the legendary Jacques Vallée. For those new to it, our symposium brings together leading voices from government, academia, civil society, and the private sector to share their insights and reflections about UAP, science, and disclosure. This year’s symposium features leading trusted voices in the UAP conversation like Garry Nolan (@GarryPNolan), Tim Gallaudet (@GallaudetTim), Diana Pasulka, Karl Nell, and Anna Brady-Estevez, along with established voices who are less familiar in the US, like France’s Luc Dini, General Pierre Bescond (of the COMETA report), and Michael Valliant; renowned Italian investigator Roberto Pinotti; Technical University of Vienna theoretical physicist Karl Svozil; and the University of Bremen's Dr. Christian Peters. To stream, sign up at thesolfoundation.org/2025-sol-sympo…

The Sol Foundation would like to share some exciting news: We’ll be streaming our 2025 symposium. To make the event accessible to people who would like to attend but are unable to travel, all talks will be available to view for a registration fee. Sol Foundation members receive gratis access out of our gratitude for your support. To see the list of speakers and register for the streaming, sign up at thesolfoundation.org/2025-sol-sympo… Each talk will be available to view shortly after it is delivered live, and available afterward, until November 2. For those who are still considering attending in person, registration remains open! Join us for a gathering like no other on UAP—a chance to connect with likeminded people who are dedicated to making sense of one of the most perplexing and challenging issues of our times.

Sol is excited to announce that we'll be screening Bram Roza's documentary The UFOs of Soesterberg at our 2025 symposium in Italy. Roza's film focuses on a February 3, 1979 incident at the Netherland's Soesterberg Air Base, when at least twelve soldiers witnessed a gigantic triangular object silently flying over the base, illuminating the runway before shooting into the sky. The UFOs of Soesterberg revisits this remarkable Cold War incident and also uncovers three additional, related UAP encounters—all in military space, all within two miles of the base. Bram Roza will be in attendance to field audience questions about these remarkable and important Dutch UAP events. To speak with him, register for Sol's symposium at thesolfoundation.org/event/the-2025… And for more information on the meeting, visit our website at thesolfoundation.org/event/the-2025…

YES! A sign of life from the old world! @MauraMonesca @jonathanberte @euUAPtalks @UAPCoalitieNL @derhavas

We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning. -- W. Heisenberg (Physics and Philosophy, 1958)

If your smartest friends start saying crazy things - pay attention. A paradigm shift may be underway.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna joins Harvard's Dr. Avi Loeb for an interview on The Sol Forum with Dr. Peter Skafish. She discusses breaking news on the upcoming, Sept. 9th House Oversight Committee UAP hearing, her support for sending a probe to the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object that Dr. Loeb is currently studying, and her support of the bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act. Rep. Luna confirmed that intimidation of UAP whistleblowers is ongoing, noting witnesses have declined to testify out of fear, and she disclosed that whistleblower and former National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency official David Grusch recently experienced a troubling incident that is now under review by law enforcement.

I had a great conversation with Joe on the "Joe Rogan Experience" this week. First off, Joe is a consummate gentleman, and his staff at the studio were a lot of fun to talk to before and after the show. Second, the art and paraphernalia in the studio, which represent the years of interviews he has given, were like being in a museum of eclecticism. So much cool stuff, with, I am sure, a fascinating story behind each. We talked about my lab's work in cancer research at the immune-tumor interface, AI applications in cancer (and the direction of AI in general), and then the scientific way to approach the "reality" or not of fringe topics (reclaiming the work), such as non-human intelligence (AI amongst them). It was a discussion centered on ideas —not conclusions. And how science should be done in frontier realms. Thank you, Joe, for the opportunity! It was a joy from beginning to end. open.spotify.com/episode/5rCPRn… youtube.com/watch?v=B7y3qc…

Sol is excited to announce that its 2025 Symposium will feature a screening of Dominque Filhol’s film “Valensole 1965.” Based on actual events, Filhol depicts farmer Maurice Masse's 1965 dawn encounter in Valensole, France with an egg-shaped UAP that landed in his lavender field and then took off at an astonishing speed, leaving ground traces behind. Jacques Vallée considers "Valensole" to be one of the most corroborated reports of a UAP landing event and devoted an analysis to it in his recent book Trinity, and Filhol brings the event to life in his film, which was released this summer. This is a unique opportunity to not only see Valensole screened but to interact with Filhol, who has generously agreed to be on hand to answer questions from the audience.
