Picture this: a colossal pyramid-shaped object, perhaps a mile wide, hovering silently above the Kremlin in Moscow. You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s another wild hoax—but hold that thought. Sixteen years ago, Russia’s biggest media outlets reported on it. Videos, photos, and countless witnesses back it up, yet this event has faded from collective memory. How does something so extraordinary just vanish from our minds? What if I told you it wasn’t an isolated case? Here in the U.S., we’ve had our own uninvited guests. Fast forward nine years to December 19, 2018, and a similar huge craft allegedly appeared above the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Does that ring a bell? Probably not—and that’s hardly surprising. For reasons that defy explanation, these incidents barely make a ripple in the news.

These incidents, captured on video and corroborated by eyewitnesses, suggest something extraordinary. Yet, the official silence is deafening. Why is there so little information about these events?
