June 13 (CCTV International News) — The U.S. Department of Defense released its third batch of files concerning extraterrestrials, alien life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) on June 12. The latest batch includes 72 previously classified materials: videos, images, audio recordings, and official documents. A 2024 video shot in the northeastern United States shows a light source witnesses described as a "plasma-like sphere" hovering above a pond. The object’s shape and brightness shifted intermittently, occasionally splitting into smaller light dots before disappearing entirely 45 minutes later. Another 2025 video captures two red light dots moving synchronously through mid-air, silent and steady. As the pair neared the edge of visibility, they appeared to merge together.

June 13 — Niteshift, an AI programming agent startup, announced it has closed a $7 million seed funding round led by Greylock partner Jerry Chen. While the $7 million raise isn’t standout in today’s crowded AI space, the startup has secured backing from a roster of high-profile investors, including LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Datadog co-founders Olivier Pomel and Alexis Lê-Qu?c, Braintrust founder Ankur Goyal, and Reflection AI co-founder Misha Laskin. Proceeds from the round will be used to scale product development and drive market expansion. Founded by Sajid Mehmood and Conor Branagan, former early-stage engineers at Datadog who helped grow the company from a startup to a $10+ billion software giant, Niteshift’s core reasoning hinges on a growing enterprise concern: as foundational model providers like OpenAI and Anthropic expand into vertical software markets, businesses are growing wary of handing over their core code assets to entities that could become their competitors.

June 13 update — Per Coinglass data, if Bitcoin breaks above $66,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will total $9.15 billion. Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $62,000, cumulative long liquidation intensity across major CEXs will reach $9 billion. BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts or precise liquidation values being unwound. Instead, its bars represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster versus adjacent clusters — that is, their intensity. As such, the chart illustrates how much the underlying asset’s price will be impacted once it hits a specific level. A higher "liquidation bar" signals a stronger price reaction due to a liquidity cascade once that price level is reached.
