ResearcherThomas M. Thompson III, better known online as Cortex Zero, is a New Jersey–based independent researcher, writer, media creator, and commentator focused on UFOs, UAP, and anomalous phenomena. His work spans historical cases, witness accounts, government-disclosure developments, consciousness research, and the cultural questions surrounding reports that remain unexplained.
Thompson co-hosts the Anomalous Podcast and co-founded Anomalous Media, a creative venture producing long-form work about unconventional subjects. Through Cortex Zero on X and YouTube, he follows developing UAP stories, shares newly released records and interviews, and adds historical context and commentary. His work frequently connects current claims with older cases and broader debates over secrecy, evidence, perception, and anomalous experience.
Thompson also publicly identifies as an experiencer. He has described a childhood incident during a Boy Scout camping trip in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens in which he says he witnessed a large, silent black triangular object above the forest. He presents that experience, along with other unusual episodes from his life, as part of the personal background that led him to study UFO reports, consciousness, and high-strangeness narratives.
Within the wider UAP community, Thompson functions as both a curator and an interpreter: he highlights emerging developments, preserves threads of discussion, and gives researchers and witnesses a platform for longer conversations. Because many of the subjects he covers involve disputed or extraordinary claims, his commentary is best considered alongside original interviews, documents, and independent corroboration.
Had a wicked headache for whatever reason, came home from work, slept for several hours, and I have sprung back to life. Late night posts incoming, I am going to be up for a while. 😅 #ufox #ufotwitter

Rep. Eric Burlison says the fight for UFO transparency is far from over. According to Burlison, public pressure will be critical to ensuring key UAP Disclosure language remains in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). If those provisions are stripped out, Congress risks losing one of its strongest tools for compelling testimony and records related to legacy UAP programs. Disclosure isn't just happening behind closed doors. It's being shaped in real time through legislation, and the p...
This is not going to cut it. I wouldn't expect this footage to convince anybody. We deserve far better at this point. #ufox #ufotwitter https://t.co/itFaCBpDXo [Quoted] We've reached the point where official UFO releases now include second-hand cell phone videos of a UFO playing on a screen. Not good. https://t.co/XpJOvSBvGV

This may be one of the most consequential moments from @TheDylanBorland's entire interview. @AlchemyAmerican asks him directly: “Is the non-human intelligence in control of the cover-up too?” Borland’s answer: “Absolutely, yes.” Then Michels goes one step further and asks whether anyone in a credible position inside the government had ever suggested that humans themselves are not actually in charge. Borland says the Intelligence Community Inspector General did exactly that. “They extremely hi...
Among the latest government records is an FBI digital rendering depicting an "Airborne Triangle" reportedly observed over Afghanistan in 2002. It is one of several triangle-related image files included in Release 05. Others include a "Dark Triangle with Lights" from 2011 and a "Large Triangle with Red Lights" reported near Colorado Springs in 2023. All three are cataloged as unresolved cases, consistent with the broader PURSUE archive. In other words, the government has not reached a definiti...

That's a little odd. #ufox #ufotwitter https://t.co/mYDTAyqtru [Quoted] You can’t talk about #ufos without a little controversy…our YouTube was taken down but we’ll be back one way or another. Stay tuned.
