A secretive CIA office has been coordinating the retrieval of crashed UFOs around the world for decades, Daily Mail reports.

One source said that at least nine apparent 'non-human craft' have been recovered by the US government – some wrecked from a crash, and two completely intact.

Office of Global Access (OGA), a wing of the Central Intelligence Agency's Science and Technology Directorate, has played a central role since 2003 in orchestrating the collection of what could be alien spacecraft.

A top Sudanese general has said the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is sending supplies to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), publicly accusing the UAE of involvement in its war with its powerful paramilitary rival for the first time.

"We have information from intelligence, military intelligence, and the diplomatic circuit that the UAE sends planes to support the Janjaweed," General Yassir al-Atta said in a speech to members of the General Intelligence Service in Omdurman.

Atta said the UAE had funnelled unspecified supplies to the RSF through Uganda, the Central African Republic (CAR) and Chad. Support had arrived this week through the airport in Chad's capital Ndjamena, having previously come through Amdjarass.

"We warn any country that participates in supporting this rebellion that what goes around comes around," Atta said, to cheers from intelligence officers.

Eyewitnesses have said the RSF has used drones and more advanced artillery than it had at the start of the conflict. RSF sources have said the force seized the weaponry from army bases.

Turkish President Erdogan:

Netanyahu, who committed one of the worst atrocities of the last century in Gaza, has already written his name in history as the "Butcher of Gaza".

This black stain is not only on Netanyahu's forehead, but on the foreheads of all those who unconditionally support him.

By fueling anti-Semitism with his killings in Gaza, Netanyahu jeopardizes the security of the Israeli people and all Jews.

Turkish President Erdogan:

My heartfelt congratulations to Spain, the only European state to act with a conscience on Gaza.

Pentagon says it has no money for Middle East buildup, Politico reports.

Pentagon has ordered an additional aircraft carrier strike group, air defenses, fighter jets and hundreds of troops to the Middle East.

The problem: Congressional dysfunction means the Pentagon has no money to pay for the buildup.

The military, like the rest of the federal government, is operating under a temporary funding measure that freezes spending at the previous year’s levels.

And because the Middle East troop movements weren’t planned, the Pentagon has had to pull money from existing operations and maintenance accounts.
