Out There review – saucer-eyed teen searches for aliens in YA comedy drama

The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington removed Mgr Stephen Rossetti as an archdiocesan exorcist after he publicly suggested UFO sightings were the work of demons. Cardinal Robert McElroy said Rossetti's statements gravely undermine church teaching, and the archdiocese is also cutting ties with the St Michael Center associated with him. The excerpt is truncated, so the full scope of the statements and the stated reasons beyond the archbishop's remarks are not available here.

Matthew Sullivan, a UAP witness reportedly scheduled to meet with Congress, died of an overdose involving Xanax and alcohol.

The Guardian reports that two anonymous senior military observers say they saw a black triangular object move at extraordinarily high speed over a sensitive site in the western US earlier this year. The account appears in a batch of UFO reports the article says was released by the Trump administration on a Friday, described as new Pentagon UFO files. The excerpt indicates the object vanished suddenly and silently. Details about the site, the observers' identities, and the verification of the report are not available in the excerpt.

A Guardian review of the Arles photography festival, Les Rencontres de la Photographie, highlights work by amateurs and lesser-known photographers. The piece references a 1963 claim involving a mechanic from Albuquerque, Paul Villa, who was allegedly invited to photograph an alien spaceship. The account is presented as an alleged event within the festival's broader context rather than as verified evidence.

A Guardian feature examines whether the deaths or disappearances of 11 US scientists tied to top secret research are linked. The piece traces a conspiracy theory about a clandestine operation silencing people who know too much to a bizarre broadcast that rocked Britain in the 1970s. Whether the cases share a common cause is not established.

A Guardian profile reports that Avi Loeb's White House panel on UAP security risks has asked the Pentagon for videos and files on unexplained aerial sightings. Loeb, a Harvard cosmologist, has suggested that alien technology could be present in the solar system disguised as meteors. The panel is described as secretive, and the article characterizes Loeb's approach as beginning from the assumption that UFOs are human-made. The Pentagon's response and the specific files requested are not detailed in the excerpt. Loeb's proposal that alien probes could be disguised as meteors is speculative and lacks confirmed evidence. Mainstream astronomers have generally been skeptical of such claims, and the panel's findings are still pending.
