An email containing incredible UFO images allegedly from US military UFO sightings has been leaked online by an anonymous source.
The leaker claimed that they had accessed an alleged top secret UFO ‘data retrieval program’ known as ‘Immaculate Constellation’ — made famous this past November in a blockbuster public hearing before Congress.
The black-and-white images show ornately spiked ‘cruciform’ UFOs, boomerang-shaped flying wings, a floating ‘hot’ cube, traditional flying saucers and several other craft that look straight out of classic science fiction.
The screengrabs are said to be from infrared and thermal camera footage taken by military ‘heads up displays,’ but details were redacted to protect both sensitive US national security interests.
These unsettling depictions of highly varied craft were first made public by Nathan Latvaitis, who runs a YouTube channel called ‘Strange Mysteries.’
‘This person has asked me to redact their email address,’ Latvaitis told his followers, ‘although I can tell you that there is nothing identifiable in it.’
The sensational images have elicited heated debate among UFO believers and skeptics alike, however, with many on both sides questioning the leaker’s story.
A ‘creepy e-mail’ containing weird, but compelling images allegedly from US military UFO sightings has been leaked by an anonymous source claiming classified access

Over the course of two weeks of correspondence with the leaker, Latvaitis and his followers given tantalizing, but uncorroborated details on the craft depicted.
‘The UAPs observed demonstrate capabilities far beyond conventional aerospace benchmarks,’ the leaker said in a third update posted to YouTube on November 30th.
The so-called ‘cruciform’ (cross-shaped) entities, according to their account, exhibit aggressive maneuvers and high-energy emissions capable of disabling systems such as the EODAS’ — a reference to the advanced sensors on the F-35 stealth fighter jet.
Short for ‘Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System,’ EODAS is a sensor suite that give the F-35’s stealth fighter pilots a 360-degree view for a ‘quick, high-definition picture of everything around them,’ according its manufacturer Raytheon.
Improved ‘missile detection’ is one key goal in making EODAS, even though it may prove helpless against these purported ‘cruciform’ UFOs.
‘The ‘cruciform’ entity [shows] distinct behaviors indicating functional differences,’ according to the self-described insider to the Immaculate Constellation program.
‘Shape-shifting has been observed — possibly due to advanced cloaking or optical refraction — referred to as ‘morphogenic behavior,’ allowing for adaptation to environments or missions,’ the leaker continued.
Details were scarce on some other craft shapes, though the leaker noted nearly all ‘these crafts,’ like the boomerang UFOs, squares, and classic saucers ‘demonstrate trans-medium travel, non-ballistic motion, and localized gravity manipulation.’

While many of these UFOs emit electromagnetic ‘signatures that disrupt ISR [intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance] systems causing sensor malfunctions’ on human-made systems, they said, one broad category was less disruptive.
”Orb’-class UAPs focus on surveillance with minimal EMF [electro-magnetic frequency] interference,’ according to the leaker.
Speaking to NASA last year, ex-CIA physicist Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, then head of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), said: ‘We see these [‘metallic orbs’] all over the world.’
Dr Kirkpatrick, a career laser and optical physicist, called these orbs the most commonly reported type of UFO to AARO’s team.
‘And we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers,’ he added.
But ‘cruciform’ UFO shapes were not called out by name in his report to NASA, which did note that seven percent of sightings fell into miscellaneous ‘other’ shapes.
In his email to Latvaitis, the leaker asserted that he selected the YouTuber over more mainstream journalism outlets specifically to avoid having to verify his own claims.
‘Many traditional media outlets would require verification of my identity and credentials,’ the leaker told Latvaitis in his email, shown in a Strange Mysteries video.

‘This is not feasible due to the risks involved,’ the leaked explained. ‘[Those news media] organizations, despite their best intentions, are not equipped to handle the level of secrecy and potential retaliation associated with this information.’
The leaker described their motives as desire to inform on important information that has been ‘classified and intentionally withheld from the public regarding ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ [UAP] and the ongoing covert operations surrounding them.’
‘I was part of one of the legacy programs,’ the leaker wrote. ‘I know that’s vague, but unfortunately that’s all I can offer at this point.’
Multiple UFO ‘true believers’ on social media expressed doubt over the leakers story, particularly the unknown individuals response to that skepticism.

The mixed orientation of some images suggested ‘they were probably scanned from a print out,’ and the images varied in terms of their ‘detailed sensor noise’ and subtle software response to motion blur.
‘In my opinion, this has the variety I would expect to see from a collection of images captured on different platforms over the years,’ the user posted to Reddit’s r/UFOs.
On the skeptics’ forum Metabunk many dismissed the videos as too low information to properly vet or investigate, with some claiming it might have been release as a premeditated disinformation effort.
‘Not worth wasting time on unless they can (and do!) back up their story,’ one typical comment read.
‘It takes seconds to make another picture and hours to try and debunk it.’
The ‘Immaculate Constellation’ program was discussed at a Congressional hearing about UAPs in mid-November 2024 and shortly after, Representative Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) made the 11-page document available to the public. Above a still from the alleged new leak

But whistleblowers continue to claim that ‘Immaculate Constellation’ was, in fact, established to ‘detect’ and ‘quarantine’ the military’s best UFO imagery, as well as its best videos, eyewitness testimonies and electronic sensor evidence.
This high quality, multi-sensor UFO data, according to a US official who confirmed the leak, is so tightly held that ‘talking about it will put you in the danger zone.’
The quite literally ‘above top secret’ program allegedly sprang into action in the wake of the 2017 leak of three, still-as-yet unexplained US Navy infrared UFO videos, although it is still unconfirmed, resting the gray area of speculation.
The program was discussed at a Congressional hearing about UAPs in mid-November and shortly after, Representative Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) made the 11-page document available to the public.

In one stunning case, detailed in the 11-page report, infrared satellites captured a massive saucer-shaped UFO emerging from within a dense cloud formation.
The saucer’s circumference was estimated to be between 650 and 1,300 feet, which would place its diameter between roughly 200 and 400 feet.
It also ‘displayed symmetrical concavities on the upper surface,’ the report reads.
The saucer registered hot in the infrared footage, and created visible ‘atmospheric disturbances.’
The object emerged from the cloud formation at a shallow angle and travelled upwards toward the outer atmosphere.
