Mike Wall

Senior writer at Space.com (Future plc); covers crewed and robotic spaceflight, exoplanets, and astrobiology.

Wall authored the May 9, 2026 Space.com survey of pursue Release 01 (src-space-com-pursue-video-trove-2026-05), which assembled the ~30 newly declassified video clips into a single supercut on Space.com’s YouTube channel and walked through three featured items: a 5-second centcom Syria FMV (“misshapen and uneven ball of white light” / DoW-UAP-D32), a 9-second INDOPACOM IR clip (“football-shaped body with three radial projections”), and a 100-second 2024 INDOPACOM IR clip of a bright dot moving through a windmill array.

His framing is aerospace-trade neutral — neither credulous nor debunking — closer to src-leonard-david-pursue-column-2026-05 than to the skeptical src-twz-pursue-shrug-2026-05 / src-metabunk-pursue-analysis-2026-05 cluster.
