In a fresh interview with journalist Ross Coulthart on NewsNation's Reality Check, Battista dropped exclusive footage he shot in his own backyard in 2023.

The clip allegedly captures a shapeshifting "non-human entity" with a football-shaped head, tiny eyes, insect-like features, and even wing-like appendages—think praying mantis meets ancient petroglyph.

But here's where it gets spicy: Viewers are split. Some hail it as "the best footage yet" of an otherworldly being, tying it to historical rock art depictions of similar entities.

Others? Total letdown. The low-res video (shot on a phone, apparently) has sparked backlash, with critics saying it looks like a blurry bug or a hoax, potentially tarnishing the whole UAP disclosure movement.

In related news, astronomers just spotted a new interstellar-ish object Swan R2 that is headed towards Earth. Could it be a probe from 3i/Atlas or just a comet passing through?
