THE SKINNY ED REPORT · ARCHIVED EDITION

August 11, 2026

A dramatic claim involving unusual objects near White Sands leads today’s board, followed by strange testimony from Release 05 and five fascinating records from the UAP archive. We have downed orbs, cold objects, a clock anomaly, a translucent triangle, radar film, high-speed lights—and one UFO story that completely fell apart when somebody checked.

Okay, investigators, today’s console is blinking like somebody spilled an energy drink on it. Ross Coulthart has relayed a claim that U.S. personnel recently brought down unusual objects near White Sands, and Avi Loeb says any recovered material could give scientists something extraordinary to test. Release 05 adds cold orbs over the Gulf of Oman, a clock that apparently disagreed with the other clocks, a huge triangle, old film studies, and a Puerto Rico radar mystery. Some of these stories come with records, some come mainly through testimony, and one sensational Brazilian sphere story collapsed under follow-up. That does not make the whole board less interesting—it shows why the investigation is the fun part. Open the files, follow the trail, and keep one hand on your snacks in case the orbs are hungry.

ED’S HIGH THOUGHT · FICTIONAL HUMOR

What if the objects near White Sands are just aliens wearing fake mustaches and trying to order donuts at the missile-range drive-through? ‘Yes, hello, twelve glazed and one nuclear launch code.’ Sir, this is a restricted military facility. ‘Okay… eleven glazed.’
