Enigma Labs Logo
In a new batch of documents obtained by The Black Vault, the Department of Defense has released direct communications between the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and Enigma Labs, a private company working in the UAP research space. The release stems from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by The Black Vault in January 2023, and finalized on July 3, 2025, under case number 23-F-0711. The documents include 50 pages of emails and internal correspondence, many of which are redacted, shedding little light on early coordination between the government’s UAP investigative office and outside technology partners.

There has been little change in U.S. energy consumption over the past decade. Increased efforts to make energy use more efficient have kept levels low. But over the next five years, demand for electricity to power data centers is expected to more than double. Some estimates show the facilities are expected to require as much energy in 2030 as the entire country of Japan does today.”Every investor is lining up to

Hubble Observations Give “Missing” Globular Cluster Time to Shine
A previously unexplored globular cluster glitters with multicolored stars in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. Globular clusters like this one, called ESO 591-12 or Palomar 8, are spherical collections of tens of thousands to millions of stars tightly bound together by gravity. Globular clusters generally form early in the galaxies’ histories in regions rich in gas and dust. Since the stars form from the same cloud of gas as it collapses, they typically hover around the same age. Strewn

NASA Advances Pressure Sensitive Paint Research Capability
Many of us grew up using paint-by-number sets to create beautiful color pictures.
For years now, NASA engineers studying aircraft and rocket designs in wind tunnels have flipped that childhood pastime, using computers to generate images from “numbers-by-paint” – pressure sensitive paint (PSP), that is.
Now, advances in the use of high-speed cameras, supercomputers, and even more sensitive PSP have made this numbers-by-paint process 10,000 times faster while creating engineering visuals with 1,000 times higher resolution.
So,

Some of the Strangest Cases of Alien Abductions
One corner of the UFO phenomenon that has always drawn to itself weirdness and raised eyebrows is that of alien abductions. These are cases in which the witness has been whisked away by alien intelligences for inscrutable reasons, often enduring examinations and experimentation in the process. Some reports can be so strange that they are seen as bizarre even for UFO phenomena, and here we will look at some such cases.
