Unknown triangular object hovers silently and climbs vertically! US military observer witnesses mysterious flying object speeding over 2,900 km/h ZH不明三角物體無聲懸停垂直爬升!美軍觀察員目擊神祕飛行物飆破 2900 公里
Newtalk新聞 美國國防部最新解密的不明異常現象檔案,揭露了一起極為罕見的高速飛行物目擊通報。兩名資深軍事觀察員今年 6 月在美國西部一處高度敏感的國家安全設施周邊,親眼目擊一架深黑色三角形飛行物體在空中無聲垂直攀升,並在半空中完全靜止懸停約 20 秒,隨後以驚人速度瞬間加速脫離視線。根據現場目擊者估算,該飛行物瞬間時速高達 1800 英里,相當於每小時約 2900 公里。 根據《哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞網》( CBS News )23 日報導,五角大廈最新解密釋出第七批 UAP 相關檔案,內容完整收錄美國國防部全域異常現象解決辦公室( AARO )的調查備忘錄,以及目擊軍事觀察員向聯邦調查局( FBI )正式提交的證詞。基於軍事機密考量,該份文件並未對外透露事發設施的精確地理座標,現場亦未留下任何照片或影像紀錄。 目擊者在陳述中詳細描繪,該飛行物外觀呈現深黑色消光塗裝,整體結構宛如一架三角翼無人機,表面光滑細緻且看不出任何鉚釘、接縫或傳統機械接合處,翼展估計介於 2.75 至 4.5 公尺之間。AARO 官方備忘錄則記載,該物體當時順著山脊垂直爬升約 61 至 91 公尺,在上升過程中完全沒有傳統飛行器的傾斜、搖晃或氣流擾動跡象,甚至在空中保持絕對靜止長達 20 …

Involved in monitoring Lai Ching-te's eldest son! Female real estate agent Chang Wan-ying pleads not guilty; male colleague takes one-way ticket to China ZH涉監視賴清德長子!女房仲張婉瑩不認罪 同行男竟搭單程機票赴中
Newtalk新聞 涉嫌受中國官員指示,在美國監視總統賴清德長子賴廷與及其家人的加州華裔女房仲張婉瑩,23 日在洛杉磯聯邦法院出庭,對共謀及未登記充當外國代理人等罪名表示不認罪。美媒披露,檢方另指與她同行的加州建築業者苗發泰,早在她被捕前便購買單程機票前往中國。 美國哥倫比亞廣播公司(CBS)報導,張婉瑩於 10 月 4 日在洛杉磯國際機場準備搭機赴中時遭聯邦調查局(FBI)逮捕,聯邦大陪審團於 9 日正式起訴。美國司法部刑事訴狀指出,張婉瑩 2025 年曾赴中國與中國官員會面,之後依指示前往華盛頓州西雅圖,監視賴廷與及其住處,並將照片、影片及車牌資訊傳給中國方面的聯絡人。檢方提出的訊息紀錄中,還包括「看到他了,年輕男性,就是那個年輕的」等內容。 CBS 引述檢方最新提交的法庭文件指出,張婉瑩當時與婚外情對象苗發泰一同前往西雅圖。檢方稱,苗發泰在張婉瑩遭逮捕前,已購買從南加州前往中國的單程機票。不過,苗發泰目前尚未因本案遭起訴,其兒子則向媒體表示,不相信父親曾替中國政府工作。 張婉瑩 23 日出庭時身穿白色連身囚服,手腳戴著戒具,並簡短表示不認罪。她的丈夫先前曾到庭旁聽,但當天並未出席。法官認定張婉瑩有逃亡風險,裁定繼續羈押,並排定 11 月 12 日舉行審前聽證,11 月 30 日在加州聖安娜聯邦法院開庭審理,預計審期為 4 天。 依檢方指控,張婉瑩涉及共謀及未登記充當外國代理人兩項罪名,若最終均遭判定成立,最高可面臨 15 年監禁。延伸閱讀:「十月颱,真厲害」 賴清德示警:別因選舉忽視颱風造成災情強化印太戰略合作 日印「2+2」會談擬11月東京舉行老司機跟女乘客都紅了! 女主動還是男撿屍? …

Chang Wan-ying involved in monitoring President Lai's son; pleads not guilty in court, trial at the end of November ZH張婉瑩涉監控賴總統之子 出庭不認罪11月底審判
Newtalk新聞 中國裔加州房地產經紀人張婉瑩涉嫌接受中國官員指示在美國監控總統賴清德的兒子,她今天在洛杉磯聯邦法院出庭,對共謀及未登記充當中國代理人等罪名不認罪。 哥倫比亞廣播公司(CBS)報導,34歲的張婉瑩(Wanying Zhang)今天身穿白色囚服、戴著戒具出庭。庭訊過程短暫,她僅就檢方指控表示不認罪,其餘沒有發言。 聯邦大陪審團10月9日正式起訴張婉瑩,指控她涉及共謀及未登記充當中國政府代理人。她今天出庭首次針對起訴罪名做出答辯,並由法院安排後續審理程序。 張婉瑩的丈夫艾德里克.丁(Edric Ding)先前曾出席旁聽,但今天沒有出席。 法官排定11月12日舉行審前聽證,暫訂11月30日在加州聖安娜(Santa Ana)聯邦法院審判,預估審判為期4天。 根據檢方指控,張婉瑩2025年9月與另一名男子前往華盛頓州西雅圖,接受中國官員指示,監控賴總統的兒子賴廷與及家人,並將照片、影片及車牌資訊傳送給中國官員。 檢方指稱她與同行者協調行程,監控過程中刻意隱匿行蹤,避免被發現。 先前公布的刑事訴狀顯示,聯邦調查局(FBI)從張婉瑩的iCloud帳戶取得微信通訊紀錄。檢方指控,她在西雅圖監控期間向中國政府聯絡人傳送訊息,包括表示「看到他了,年輕男性,就是那個年輕的」以及「我正在錄影」,並傳送車牌資訊。 張婉瑩10月4日在洛杉磯國際機場準備搭機前往中國時遭FBI逮捕。法院先前認定她具有逃亡風險,裁定繼續羈押。如果兩項罪名均成立,她最高可能面臨15年監禁。延伸閱讀:中國灰色地帶侵擾 葛來儀籲美台深化合作、加強與日菲協調中國介選從「陰謀」變「陽謀」!學者示警雙北成重點目標 AI假訊息、境外資金恐全面滲透「十月颱,真厲害」 賴清德示警:別因選舉忽視颱風造成災情徐巧芯酸松機留給賴清德逃跑 綠黨團批:無聊的回應方式癌症希望基金會25週年策展《在途中》 移師高雄邀民眾看見生命故事

China Threat: Number of Chinese spies arrested since Trump administration took office increased by 88% ZH中國威脅》川普政府上任以來逮捕中國間諜人數增加88%
Newtalk新聞 儘管美中關係出現暫時休戰和緊張局勢緩和的跡象,但川普政府的司法機構仍然將中國視為美國間諜活動的最大威脅,並正在加強公開警告和實際打擊力度。 日本《產經新聞》報導,聯邦調查局(FBI)優先偵查中國政府的四類間諜活動:竊取美國工業機密、對政界人士進行影響力行動、賄賂國家機密持有者以及招募科技人才。 FBI在官方網站題為「中國威脅」(China Threat )的版塊中宣稱,中國政府機構針對美國的間諜活動對美國的經濟繁榮和民主價值構成嚴重威脅,阻止此類活動是其首要任務。 美國聯邦調查局列舉了以下四項中國針對美國進行間諜活動的主要例證: ▽竊取和掠奪美國工業機密及其他智慧財產權。中國意圖透過此舉成為世界頭號超級大國。 ▽對國會議員等施加影響。這將影響美國領導階層的思維,使其朝著有利於中國的方向發展。 ▽透過賄賂和收買能夠接觸國家機密的人員來取得美國政府機密資訊。 ▽招募美國人員。以高薪聘用安全和科技人才。 就上述內容而言,美國聯邦調查局列舉了過去三個月發生的幾起案件,其中包括中國特工從美國醫療器材和人工智慧(AI)公司竊取商業機密、中國對美國基礎設施發動網路攻擊以及竊取俄亥俄州立大學的研究成果。 在俄亥俄州立大學,一項自主研發的先進技術險些被中國特工竊取,但最終在最後一刻被阻止。該大學因未報告接受美國政府研究資助的教職員工與中國存在關聯而被起訴,並向美國政府支付了210萬美元(約新台幣6843萬元)的和解金。 逮捕人數最多的是中國,其次是俄羅斯,然後是伊朗。 今年9月,美國聯邦調查局局長帕特爾在參議院司法委員會的聽證會上也報告了美國近期的間諜犯罪情況,指出中國間諜活動尤其佔逮捕人數的絕大多數。 根據帕特爾的證詞,自川普第二任期開始以來的一年半時間裡,聯邦調查局的反間諜活動(包括打擊外國間諜)已導致130多人被捕。其中,60人與中國有關,29人與俄羅斯有關,17人與伊朗有關。 這次逮捕人數超過130人,比本屆政府上任前一年半增加了52%。其中,與中國相關的逮捕人數增加了88%。 帕特爾列舉了中國、俄羅斯和伊朗針對美國進行間諜活動的實例,包括獲取國防資訊、獲取政府官員和軍方人員(包括前官員)的合作,以及操縱美國政治和輿論。他特別警告說,中國的經濟間諜活動威脅日益加劇。 他還作證說,過去一年左右與中國有關的重大案件包括:①一名美國空軍前飛行員因向中國空軍人員提供機密信息而被捕;②一名谷歌工程師因試圖向中國政府官員洩露人工智能相關的商業機密而接受調查;以及③七名中國研究人員因試圖將危險生物材料走私到美國而被捕。 報導指出,儘管川普政府在與中國的峰會上表現出看似軟化的姿態,但值得注意的是,它在對待中國針對美國的間諜活動問題上,立場依然強硬。延伸閱讀:川普稱美軍已痛擊伊朗 預告「我們可能還會進一步展開行動」重申阻伊擁核去中化+1!美將中國DeepSeek踢出政府IT網 應用產品一起被禁普丁助理稱中美俄三國元首會談有望登場 核裁軍議題成焦點 川普施政滿意度跌至新低! 民主黨期中選舉支持度領先共和黨11%馬斯克星鏈「一鍵改變戰爭」權力過大! 以台F-16戰機為例 克魯曼籲美收控制權
