Actor Will Smith’s UFO Encounter

Article by Lauren Weiler                                                 July 4, 2021                                                               (cheatsheet.com)

• In 1997, as the actor Will Smith was on his promotional tour for the movies ‘Men In Black’ and ‘Independence Day’, he appeared on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Smith shared with Leno one particular experience he had with a UFO.

• “There was one night … it was on a dark, dark road, going to Vegas, or something like that. It’s me and a friend of mine, and I’m driving.” He recalled that a UFO came down from above quickly in front of his car and immediately sped off. About a minute later, he leaned over to his friend and asked, “Did you see that? His friend said, “nope”. “I said, good, me neither. And we just never talked about it.”

• “It was just quick enough, just fast enough, that you don’t really remember what it was,” said Smith. “I was scared. Actually, I’m really scared now, because if I keep doing all these alien movies, it’s like, they’re gonna think I know something.”

Fans of Will Smith know one of the most infamous movies he ever starred in,

        Will Smith in ‘Independence Day’

Independence Day. The 1996 classic features an all-star cast with Smith as Captain Steven Hiller. And after the film released, Smith shared his own alleged UFO encounter during a late-night TV show. Here’s what he said about seeing the indescribable.

Smith has had a ton of success in his acting career since the late ’80s, but he actually got his start thanks to his music. At 16 years old, Smith formed DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince with his friend Jeff Townes. This initially launched Smith to a high level of success in the music world, and he transitioned to acting in 1990 thanks to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Since the show first aired, it’s become a cult classic — and it certainly set up Smith for success in his future as a movie star.

So, was Independence Day the first movie Smith acted in? It wasn’t his first, as he starred in Six Degrees of Separation in 1993, but it was certainly notable. And it further helped him launch into superstardom. The 1996 alien film featured Smith defending the world against an alien attack. He had other stars, like Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, and Judd Hirsch acting alongside him. But it’s Smith comic relief that set him apart from the rest.

Image Shows Ten UFOs “Traveling With the International Space Station”

Article by Jak Connor                                                        July 13, 2021                                                               (tweaktown.com)

• YouTuber ‘UFO chaser’ posted an image from the International Space Station’s (ISS) onboard live camera on July 3, 2021, at 8:30 am EST that shows ten small black unidentified objects “traveling with the space station above planet Earth”. (see 14 second video below)

• It should be noted that no proof has been provided that these objects are actually “flying” or have been officially declared “UFOs”. The image seen could have easily just had the black dots photo-shopped in to create content for social media.

 

An interesting image has come out of a known UFO chaser, and the image was sourced from a video shot by the International Space Station (ISS).

The image has been posted on the MrMBB333 YouTube channel that almost has

             International Space Station

500,000 subscribers and shows a screenshot taken from the ISS’s onboard live camera on July 3, 2021, at 8:30 am EST. The YouTuber points out that the image shows ten small black objects that remain unidentified at this current time.

The YouTuber claims that the objects are “traveling with the space station above planet Earth”, insinuating that they are unidentified flying objects (UFO). However, no proof has been provided if these objects are flying or officially declared “UFOs”. It should also be noted that due to the current “hype” around UFOs, many images/videos are being posted all around the internet claiming “UFO encounters” – most of the time with very little proof or at least lack high-quality footage.

With the previous point in mind, the image in question could have easily just had the black dots photo-shopped in to create content for social media. For more information on this story, visit this link here.

Does Roswell Debris Hold Evidence of Off-World Vehicles?

Article by Gautam Peddada                                                July 7, 2021                                                             (thepulse.one)

• On July 16, 1945, the world’s first atomic bomb was exploded at Trinity Site, 200 miles south of the Los Alamos National Laboratory where it was designed. It basically marked the ending of WWII. At this time, there were numerous claims regarding the existence of odd lights performing impossible maneuvers in the skies near Los Alamos. Several memorandums from Director of Military Applications James McCormack Jr. were obtained through FOIA requests. “The motion of the bodies (estimated at between 14 and 20 in number) appeared to be a swirling nature,” writes McCormak. “…[I]t was impossible to resolve individual shape however, the general impression was gained that bodies were white.” Thereafter at the same spot, seven UFO crashes would occur in New Mexico between 1945–1950.

• In August 1945, two boys, Jose (9) and Reme (7), were searching for a cow on a ranch west of Trinity Site in San Antonio, New Mexico when they heard a thunderous explosion. They followed the sound and spotted a 25–30 foot avocado-shaped vessel containing two living beings. The boys hid for days watching the military collect the crashed wreckage. Jose and Reme took a piece of this spaceship, which one of them still possesses today. Jacque Valle’ and Paola Harris have just co-written a new book: Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret, which recounts a 20-year effort to retrieve this artifact. It is currently being peer-reviewed in a controlled scientific study.

• Mac Brazel worked as a foreman on the Foster Ranch, a few miles from the town of Corona, New Mexico. In July 1947, Brazel discovered that his sheep would not cross the rubble to get to the water because of a significant amount of debris blocking their path. Brazel went into town and told Jesse Wade, the owner of a bar about the situation. Wade told him to report it to the Army base in Roswell. Brazel then went to the Corona Drug Store to make the call.

• The Department of Defense insisted that the Roswell event was crashed test balloon – a story that has all the hallmarks of a cover-up. Over 90 people have come forward to confirm Mac Brazel’s testimony, including Mac’s son Bill Brazel. Bill’s alien “disc pieces” collection was confiscated by the Air Force in 1949 after he “spoke too much” at a Corona, New Mexico pub the night before. When Chuck Wade, Jesse’s son, heard that the Army had taken Bill Brazel’s artifacts, he became suspicious and determined to delve more into the UFO issue.

• On July 2, 1947, a young Gerald Anderson, along with his father, brother, uncle, and cousin traveled from Albuquerque to the Plains of San Augustin when they came upon a 32-foot crashed UFO. Gerald informed Chuck Wade that there were four aliens: one alive, one injured, and two dead.

• Shortly after, word got around and people started coming out to see the crash site. An archaeologist brought five of his students. This crash site was dubbed “Barney Barnett site” after another local. These citizens were crowding around and discussing the wreck when a military staff car arrived, followed by a truckload of soldiers who promptly encircled the people. The officers told them harshly that they were not authorized to be there, and that if they told anybody what they had seen, they would be killed.

• Wade was informed by Gerald Anderson that the military had brought a flatbed truck, a crane, tanker vehicles, truckloads of supplies, and even a bulldozer. Anderson said that it looked like an invasion force. The Army’s rows of pitched tents remained for many days. Chuck Wade shared casually that they pilfered “a military canteen and an army cot from their center of operations”.

• Chuck and Nancy Wade have since visited the UFO crash site three times with an adult Gerald Anderson, digging for any artifacts that may still be out there. In the spring of 2004, Nancy and Chuck Wade along with UFO researcher Art Campbell and four other workers retrieved eight pieces of alien foil. Wade took six of the pieces to Material Physicist Steven Colbern of Neutron Star Nanotechnology in Oxnard, California. There the scientists

• The samples were photographed using a magnification microscope and examined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to determine the concentrations of the component and trace elements in each sample. They were also subjected to the field of a Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NIB) magnet. They found that the samples included very rare alloying elements not found in aluminium alloys in 1947. The coatings on the samples were especially unique – rich in silica, titania, magnesia, sulphate, phosphate, and chloride mixed with the metal. The presence of carbon nanotubes in the samples suggests that they could be “smart metal” materials. This sort of composite metal was definitely not accessible in 1947. The isotopic ratios of the sample elements were highly skewed in comparison to their terrestrial values, suggesting that the samples came from an unknown source.

• Dr. Russell Vernon Clark performed an investigation and found that the materials discovered at San Augustine and Corona (Roswell) crash sites are quite similar in composition to a different artifact retrieved from the Roswell site. “The composition of this material was found to be greater than 99% silicon,” said Dr. Clark. “Therefore it should be considered that this material is both manufactured and extraterrestrial in origin.” As a result of his participation in the Roswell artifact study, Dr. Clark found himself the target of a disinformation campaign. The University of California issued a statement that Dr. Clark was not a university employee – an outright public deception.

• Author of the book: American Cosmic, Diana Pasulka claimed in a podcast interview in 2021 that the strange materials in Chuck Wade’s possession are legitimate, and that the US government is in possession of wrecked UFO vehicles. Former Pentagon officials Christopher Mellon and Luis Elizondo have also supported this contention. Today, there appears to be legitimate scientific research on items recovered from Roswell crash sites.

• In American Cosmic, a NASA Engineer with one of the highest degrees of security clearance in the US Government claims that extraterrestrials are “gifting” humanity their technology by purposely crashing their off-world vehicles in the southeastern New Mexico area.

• It is perplexing why the mainstream media continues to overlook genuine assertions about the event. Small-town folks are allowed to convey their fantastic tales to the rest of the world, but they receive no help from the scientific community to either clarify or put a stop to the misconceptions. Is the entirety of the media suffering from cognitive dissonance? Or are we dealing with the greatest secret ever kept by a Government from it’s citizens?

 

The Los Alamos National Laboratory was founded in 1943, just a few years after

                 Mac Brazel

World War II began, with a single goal in mind: to design and produce an atomic weapon. It only took 27 months. The world’s first atomic bomb was exploded at Trinity Site, 200 miles south of Los Alamos, on July 16, 1945. This test demonstrated that the Laboratory’s scientists had effectively weaponized the atom.

During this era of nuclear development, there were numerous claims from respectable scientists and physicists regarding the existence of odd lights performing impossible maneuvers near Los Alamos. Several memorandums from Director of Military Applications James McCormack Jr. have been obtained through FOIA requests.

“The motion of the bodies (estimated at between 14 and 20 in number) appeared to be a swirling nature, not unlike a flock of towering geese or a handful of leaflets in an up-draft. Either due to distance or size, it was impossible to resolve individual shape however, the general impression was gained that bodies were white.”

Soon after the letter was written, the military would be dealing with what appears to be the greatest secret ever kept by a Government against it’s citizens. The manner the United States ruled would alter forever for reasons only known to the gatekeepers of the National Security Complex. Diana Walsh Pasulka, author of the Oxford-published book American Cosmic, refers to New Mexico as a sacred site since it is considered to be the spot where alien intelligence revealed itself to humans. In religious studies, such an occurrence is known as hierophany. A heirophany is a holy manifestation. It happens when a nonhuman intelligent being falls from the sky to the ground or otherwise manifests itself. In American Cosmic, a NASA Engineer with one of the highest degrees of security clearance in the United States Government explains that extraterrestrials are gifting humanity technology by purposefully crashing off-world vehicles. It’s tough to accept such a claim, but the procedure should begin by analyzing any

                  James McCormack Jr.

debris to establish its origin.

Seven unknown craft crashes (gifts?) would occur in New Mexico between 1945–1950. Starting in August 1945, when two boys, Jose and Reme, ages 9 and 7, were searching for a cow that was ready to deliver a calf on a ranch west of Trinity Site in San Antonio, New Mexico. They heard a thunderous explosion, identical to the one they had heard a month earlier. They followed the sound and spotted a 25–30 foot avocado-shaped vessel containing two living beings. The youngsters hid for many days, watching while the military collect the crashed wreckage. Jose and Reme extracted a piece of this spaceship, which one of them still possesses today.

This incident is documented in Scientist and US Air Force Project Blue Book Consultant Jacque Valle’s new book Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret, which was released in June and co-written with Paola Harris. Featuring an investigation that took over 20 years. The artifact, which had been retrieved and concealed all these years, is currently being peer-reviewed in a controlled scientific study.

The Famous Roswell Incident

Mac Brazel discovered a significant amount of debris on the Foster Ranch, where he worked as a foreman, in July 1947. Mr. Brazel traveled a few miles to the town of Corona and asked Jesse Wade, the owner of a bar, to close his establishment and follow him to the debris field. Jesse was informed by Mac Brazel that his sheep would not cross the rubble to get to the water. Mr. Wade turned down Mac’s request, but he did advise that Mac Brazel report the incident to the military in Roswell. Mac then went up to the Corona Drug Store and asked Geraldine Perkins, the shopkeeper, to accompany him to the ranch. He also declined, but Geraldine assisted Mr. Brazel in making a phone call to Roswell. The rest of the story is history.

Jesse Wade subsequently admitted to Chuck, his son, that he wished he had gone to the ranch with Mac Brazel. One has to wonder how history would have been written if this had happened.

UFOs Could Be From Outer Space According to Government Report

Article by Mark Whittington                                             July 4, 2021                                                               (thehill.com)

• The government’s much maligned ‘Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ report, which analyzes 144 credible UFO reports sighted by military personnel between 2004 and 2021, has caught the attention of many UFO enthusiasts who wonder if the report describes alien spacecraft propelled by an advanced technology. Yet, the report makes no conclusions. It suggests that not one explanation exists for all of the UFOs, and further study is needed.

• As the nine-page report stands, it seems to be a rather thin gruel. Some portions were left out, resulting in accusations of a cover-up. On the other hand, UFO researchers have accused the government of cover-ups of the true origins of UFOs for decades. While American intelligence organizations are reluctant to draw any definitive conclusions, they seem to be particularly interested in the small number of incidents in which the unidentified objects’ aerial behavior seems to violate the laws of physics.

• What if some kind of alien intelligence is responsible for some of these sightings? What kind of conclusions can we draw? First, the aliens don’t seem to be particularly interested in making direct contact with Earth humans. There are no indications that UFOs will land on the White House lawn. On the other hand, they also seem to be uninterested in keeping their existence a secret. A civilization that is capable of crossing the interstellar gulf would likely have the technology to ‘cloak’ its spacecraft from prying eyes if it wanted to.

• Do these aliens want us to see them, or to at least suspect they exist? For what purpose? Presuming that the aliens are not hostile, and we have no reason to suspect they are, what is their ultimate purpose? Do they intend to establish first contact? Would an advanced civilization even view the President of the United States as the person most worthy of establishing first contact?

• A political leader may not be viewed as the most significant person on our planet. Instead, they may want to establish first contact with a technological visionary, someone who has demonstrated the ability to imagine a future better than the present and is working diligently to achieve that goal – someone who harbors no petty, political ambitions or egotistic passions. The task of speaking for the human species will be a heavy one indeed. We can only hope that Elon Musk is ready – if and when they do come.

[Editor’s Note]   What if the UFOs seen by military personnel around Navy ships are actually drones using reverse-engineered advanced electromagnetic anti-gravity propulsion technology gleaned from recovered extraterrestrial craft and developed by private American aerospace companies? And what if they are simply testing this technology against the Navy’s most advanced radar systems – unbeknownst to the ship’s officers? And what if the Pentagon brass are using this “UFO phenomenon” and the cagey UAP report to make us think that they may be of extraterrestrial origin, and have our Earthly adversaries think so as well?

If we’re choosing an Earth representative to speak to the extraterrestrial beings in the Galactic Federation of Worlds on behalf of humanity, can we at least choose someone who has tried to expose the truth about the extraterrestrial presence and the off-shoot secret space programs without any hidden agenda, rather than leaving it to a career deep state politician who has actively and shamelessly assisted in debunking and ridiculing the UFO phenomenon and extraterrestrial presence in order to cover-up the truth? Please?

 

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released its Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena report. The report analyzes 144 reports of UAPs, what the government calls UFOs, being sighted by military personnel between 2004 and 2021. Eighty of the reports referred to objects that were tracked by multiple sensors. Twenty-one of the reports describe 18 incidents in which the objects displayed unusual flight characteristics.

“Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernable means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings.”

These incidents have caught the attention of many UFO enthusiasts who wonder if they describe alien spacecraft propelled by an advanced technology. Nevertheless, the report makes no conclusions. Among the possibilities include airborne clutter such as balloons, other aircraft, or birds, atmospheric phenomena, United States government experimental aircraft, foreign government experimental aircraft (i.e. Russian or Chinese) or “other” (i.e. aliens.) The report suggests that further study is needed to identify what military pilots are seeing. It suggests that not one explanation exists for all of the UAPs or UFOs.

As the nine-page report stands, it seems to be a rather thin gruel. Some portions were left out, resulting in accusations of a coverup. On the other hand, accusations of government coverups of the real origins of UFOs have cropped up for decades. The accusations have been part of popular culture, such as in the long-running TV series “The X-Files.”

Leaving aside the pop-culture-fueled suspicions of a secret government conspiracy, the report suggests that the examination of these UFOs (or UAPs, being the preferred, approved label) is an ongoing process. While American intelligence organizations are reluctant to draw any definitive conclusions, they seem to be particularly interested in the small number of incidents in which the objects demonstrated weird behavior that seemed to violate the laws of physics.
Let us propose, as a hypothesis, that some kind of alien intelligence is responsible for some of these sightings. What kind of conclusions can we draw?

Government UFO Programs Extensively Studied Memory Metal Found at Roswell

Article by Gautam Peddada                                                 July 6, 2021                                                                   (thepulse.one)

• Following the Roswell UFO crashes incident in July 1947, the debris from Roswell was flown to Wright Field Air Force base in Ohio. Technicians at the Air Materiel Command (AMC) at Wright were perplexed and fascinated by the characteristics of the so-called ‘memory metal’. After determining that titanium was one of the component parts of memory metal, AMC hired the science and technology development company Battelle Memorial Institute, of Columbus, Ohio to study the recovered extraterrestrial material in hopes of reproducing it.

• In September 1947, General George Shulgen of Air Intelligence described the flying saucers’ “materials of construction” as being composed of “composite or sandwich construction employing different combinations of metal and polymers.” Some of the wreckage from the Roswell crash was said to have a metal-plastic look and properties, along with “specially treated” Titanium. There are no records of any titanium alloy experiments conducted before 1947.

• Battelle began recipes for combining nickel with ultra-high-purity titanium. In the 1950s, the Naval Ordnance Lab was brought into the research, and by 1962, the ‘shape-recovery’ alloy ‘Nitinol’ was developed by Dr. Fred Wang and William Buehler of the Naval Ordnance Lab. Buehler later complained that following the breakthrough, NASA hired Battelle reclaim the project away from the NOL to “conduct further characterization studies” on Nitinol.

• The Defense Intelligence Agency corroborated that the ‘metamaterial’ Nitinol became widely utilized in defense and space projects, and has been extensively investigated by the Pentagon’s UFO initiative, the ‘Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program’, as well as its predecessor program ‘Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications’ (AAWSA).

• In response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by UFO researcher Anthony Bragalia in December 2017, the Pentagon (over three years later) made available over 150 pages of information pertaining to ‘fallen wreckage from unidentified flying objects’. The documents confirm that Nitinol is indeed made up of Titanium and Nickel. Its material qualities, such as being very lightweight and durable, are mentioned and well as its potential for incorporation into the human body to enhance health. Bragalia’s FOIA request claimed the material was being housed by Bigelow Aerospace in Las Vegas, pursuant to being awarded a government contract through AAWSA.

• In 1990, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser developed serious career-ending shoulder issues. But Hershiser was only sidelined for one season and gradually returned much of his former strength due to orthopedic surgeons reconnecting the tendons to the bone using Nitinol, a strong and flexible nickel-titanium alloy with the ability to remember it’s original shape.

• Nitinol eyeglass frames can withstand significant damage. You can twist them and sit on them, and they will spring back to their original shape. A NASA engineer has even developed a pair of automated Nitinol tweezers so that doctors may retrieve small items through small wounds. Nitinol also has the ability to straighten teeth and prevent blood clots.

 

In 1990, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser’s stellar career was

                           ‘memory metal’

jeopardized by serious shoulder issues. Hershiser had damaged the tissue and tendons in his shoulder so badly after seven years of major league pitching that his arm was no longer firmly anchored in the socket. He felt greater agony and lost control with each throw of the ball. The issue that has knocked many pitchers out of work before him.

However, owing to Nitinol, a strong and flexible nickel-titanium alloy with the ability to remember it’s original shape, Hershiser was only sidelined for one season and gradually returned much of his former strength.

          William Buehler

Orthopedic surgeons bore a hole in his shoulder bone and implanted a small metal anchor that

jammed itself into the hole using a Nitinol hook. Sutures attached to the metal anchor allowed the doctors to reconnect the tendons to the bone securely.
Nitinol has the ability to straighten teeth and prevent blood clots. Nitinol eyeglass frames can withstand significant damage (you may twist them, sit on them, and otherwise torment them) and will spring back to their original shape. A NASA engineer has developed a pair of automated Nitinol tweezers that are intended to be beneficial to doctors who must retrieve small items through small wounds.

Crashed Wisdom

What gives Nitinol the capacity to recall and return to its original shape? Perhaps more significantly, where did Nitinol originate? According to the widely held belief, Nitinol was discovered in the 1950s and early 1960s by a researcher from the Naval Ordnance Laboratory in White Oak, Maryland.

According to a stunning revelation made by the Defense Intelligence Agency, Nitinol might have been the outcome of humanity’s first reverse engineering effort of non-human technology. The revelation comes months after Luis Elizondo’s claim on Tucker Carlson that the US government has crashed wreckage.

Shape-Shifting

In an unexpected turn of events, the Defense Intelligence Agency has revealed that Nitinol, a metal also widely utilized in defense and space has been extensively investigated by the Pentagon’s UFO initiative, Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program as well as its predecessor a program called Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA)- also responsible for conducting studies at Skin Walker Ranch. In response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by researcher Anthony Bragalia, the Pentagon has made available over 150 pages of information pertaining to fallen wreckage from unidentified flying objects. The Pulse was also able to verify that the program director in charge of the research was none other than James T. Lacaski, Luis Elizondo’s predecessor.

Many pages of “advanced technology reports” on Nitinol can be found in the Pentagon’s disclosure of research materials. The pages in the FOIA response on Nitinol look at its potential for incorporation into the human body to enhance health. It also indicates that Nitinol is made up of Titanium and Nickel. This immediately brings to mind General Arthur Exon’s comments about the physical composition of the crash debris. General Arthur Exon is on the record as claiming the material of the Roswell craft as being composed of “titanium and some other metal…[but] the processing was odd,” as well as numerous memoranda stating that the wreckage in their custody was most likely manufactured “by unique manufacturing processes.”

The Evidence of UFOs is Uncontestable and Being Taken Seriously for the First Time

Article by Gary Heseltine                                                 July 3, 2021                                                                                (rt.com)

• In December 2017, the New York Times published an article about a strange aerial objects encountered by US Navy pilots from the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier off the West Coast of the United States. The FLIR cockpit video and radar images provided physical evidence of these UFOs operating in US airspace. The highly trained Navy pilots had never encountered anything remotely like what they observed. The flight characteristics of the object seemed to defy the known laws of physics and aerodynamics. The New York Times article went on to reveal that other UFOs had been seen and recorded on both the East and West Coasts in 2015.

• Then we learned that a secret UFO research program existed within the Pentagon. The head of this program, Luis Elizondo, described what he and his team witnessed in a television interview: “Imagine a technology that can do 600 to 700 G-forces, that can fly 13,000 miles an hour, that can evade radar and can fly through air and water and possibly space, and oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity. That’s precisely what we are seeing.”

• Confirmation of a secret government UFO study program was, in itself, a complete contradiction to the long-standing officially held US policy regarding UFOs, which stated that since the closure of ‘Project Blue Book’ in 1969, no such military/government research had ever been undertaken. The government’s official policy of denying and debunking any evidence of UFOs or the extraterrestrial presence seems to be crumbling as well, being replaced by a more open, grown-up approach to these phenomena.

• The mainstream media has also begun to realize that there may be something to the UFO story and have been keenly following developments. Many scientists have become interested in the topic as well. The subject is finally being treated seriously on mainstream TV.

• While the media, scientific and academic world may try to pass this series of recent UFO evidence off as a completely new revelation, in reality they are nothing new. Such UFOs have been observed by credible witnesses around the globe for over 70 years. For instance, between 1989-91, Belgium received approximately 2000 UFO reports from members of the public, police officers and military pilots. On the night of March 30/31, 1990, two F16 fighter jets were scrambled to intercept a ground visual and radar-confirmed target. In a 70-minute-plus pursuit of the UFOs, one of the jets was able to record its flight instrument data of the incident. In addition, radar systems of three military bases and four civilian airports all confirmed the pursuit and the UFO.

• Top military officials publicly confirmed that an unauthorized, unidentified craft of unknown origin had entered Belgium airspace that night. Subsequent research confirmed that during the pursuit the object had been able to evade/break numerous lock-ons achieved by the chasing aircraft.

• The Chief of Air Staff for the Royal Belgium Air Force, Colonel Wilfried de Brouwer, held a press conference where he disclosed details of the incident and the videotape of the cockpit instrumentation taken during the event. At the press conference, Col. de Brouwer stated: “The day will come, undoubtedly, when the phenomenon will be observed with technological means of detection and collection that won’t leave a single doubt about its origin. This should lift a part of the veil that has covered the mystery for a long time. A mystery that continues to the present. But it exists, it is real, and that is an important conclusion.”

• Col. de Brouwer continued: “The Air Force has arrived at the conclusion that a certain number of anomalous phenomena has been produced within Belgian airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground observations… reinforced by the reports of the night of March 30-31 [1990], have led us to face the hypothesis that a certain number of unauthorized aerial activities have taken place. Until now, not a single trace of aggressiveness has been signaled; military or civilian air traffic has not been perturbed nor threatened. We can therefore advance that the presumed activities do not constitute a direct menace.”

• The top civilian radar specialist in Belgium, Professor Emile Schwietzer, was brought in to examine the accumulated data obtained during the pursuit. Schwietzer said that the UFO had made one particular maneuver that had impressed him greatly: a sharp high-speed turn that pulled a g-force in excess of 30G – well above the tolerance for humans to survive.

• In September 2019, physicist Michio Kaku spoke at a UFO conference in Barcelona, Spain. On the subject of the US Navy UFO revelations, Kaku said that the explanations usually invoked — meteors, weather balloons, even the planet Venus — can’t explain these incidents. They are either of human origin, representing cutting-edge technology, or it is “evidence of an advanced outer-space civilization”. “We’ve reached a turning point,” Kaku concluded. “It used to be that believers had to prove that these objects were from an intelligent race in outer space. Now the burden of proof is on the government to prove they’re not from intelligent beings in outer space.”

• Of course, other scientists remain locked in the debunking mindset. One is American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who, in March, posted onto Facebook an image from one of the FLIR videos, saying: “Not knowing what it is, does not count as evidence for knowing what it is.” In the world of UFO research, such inexplicable contrasts of opinion are borne out by the history of prominent ‘debunkers’ deliberately being given huge coverage in the media – from scientist Donald Menzel in the 1950s to aviation expert Philip Klass, who was known as the world’s leading debunker for many years until his death in 2005.

• Now, for the first time in nearly 70 years, the stigma of talking about the UFO phenomena is finally beginning to dissipate. We are no longer being called cranks or kooks. It’s time for the best UFO research accumulated over the last 70 years to be recognized and studied. Scientists, academics and researchers should have an adult conversation about the subject and move forward together. This is what ‘ICER’, the International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research is attempting to do. (see previous ExoArticle here)

• Mainstream scientists and academics have a choice to make. They can either stick their heads into the sand and dismiss everything out of hand, ignoring the mass of scientific data that’s been recorded and continues to be collected on an almost daily basis by a vast array of military technology, or for the first time really open their minds to the possibility that ‘non-human intelligences’ may have found us and are currently interacting with humankind, and seek out the diligent work of long-standing UFO researchers whom they have largely ignored. Surely, now is the time for all of us to work together for the benefit of the human race and help us prepare for a new reality.

 

     ‘Gimbal’ UFO off of Florida in 2015

In the second and concluding part of my series of what’s happening in the world of UFOs/UAPs, I set out the astonishing proof that indicates we are regularly being visited by super-intelligent visitors from outer space.

In my previous article, I outlined how the official policy of denying and debunking the evidence that our planet is being engaged by extraterrestrial/non-human intelligences is – at last – crumbling. And being replaced by a more open, grown-up approach to these phenomena, with even US senators, ex-presidents and former CIA directors admitting these ‘contacts’ cannot be explained.

 Colonel Wilfried de Brouwer

The first indication of this shift came in December 2017 when the New York Times, no less, published an article about a hitherto unknown secret Pentagon program that had researched strange aerial objects encountered by a number of US Navy pilots off the east and west coasts of

UFO chased by Belgium F16 fighter jets in 1990

the United States.

The first of these involved the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and its carrier escort of ships in 2004. What made this highly significant is that the fighter aircraft involved used Forward Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) video to visually capture an actual object that had been seen both visually and on radar.

The video provided corroborative physical evidence of an unknown object flying around in US airspace.

The pilots have described the object seen as similar to a Tic Tac sweet i.e., white, pill shaped, with rounded ends. David Fravor, the first pilot to go public about the incident, estimated the craft to be approximately 40 feet in length, not too dissimilar to the size of the F18 Super Hornet he was flying.

             Michio Kaku

Significantly, the highly trained Navy pilots had never encountered anything remotely like what

           Luis Elizondo

they observed. The flight characteristics of the object seemed to defy the known laws of physics and aerodynamics.

The New York Times article went on to reveal that on two further occasions, US Navy pilots had encountered similar objects in 2015 off the east and west coasts of America and that they too had been recorded on FLIR video.

Once again, the videos provided corroboration of what the pilots had observed and matched the ship-based radar data. The audio commentary of the pilots involved in these incidents makes it perfectly clear that the objects moved in ways unlike any object they had ever witnessed before.

Unusually, the three videos, which have become known as the ‘FLIR1’ (Tic Tac), ‘Gimbal’ and ‘Go Fast’ respectively, were released into the public domain.

The person who ran that secret program was identified as Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence specialist, who had recently resigned from the Department of Defense. Later, in a TV programme, Elizondo described what he and his team witnessed: “Imagine a technology that can do 600 to 700 G-forces, that can fly 13,000 miles an hour, that can evade radar and can fly through air and water and possibly space, and oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity. That’s precisely what we are seeing.”

Successful Space Flight for Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic

Article by William Harwood                                             July 12, 2021                                                       (spaceflightnow.com)

• On Sunday July 11th at 8:40 a.m. local time at the Virgin Galactic’s ‘Spaceport America’ launch site near Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, Virgin Galactic owner Richard Branson and five crewmates rocketed into space on a sub-orbital test flight intended to demonstrate his company’s air-launched spaceplane is ready for paying customers at $250,000 or more per seat, in early 2022.

• Virgin’s twin-fuselage carrier jet lifted away with the ‘VSS Unity’ rocket-powered spaceplane bolted under its wing. At about 45,000 feet the Virgin mothership, VMS Eve, disengaged the spaceplane. The Unity spaceplane then soared to an altitude just above 50 miles, giving Branson and crew about three minutes of weightlessness and spectacular views of Earth before plunging back into the atmosphere in a spiraling descent to touchdown again back at the New Mexico launch site.

• “I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of Earth from space,” Branson, 70, said after landing. “It was just magical. … I’m just taking it all in, it’s unreal.”

• The flight upstaged Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who plans a sub-orbital spaceflight of his own aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft on July 2th as the two companies compete for passengers in the emerging commercial space marketplace. Bezos complimented Branson and his team, posting a note on Instagram saying “congratulations on the flight. Can’t wait to join the club!”

• Joining Branson aboard Unity were pilots David Mackay and Michael Masucci, along with Virgin astronaut trainer Beth Moses, flight engineer Colin Bennett and Sirisha Bandla, the company’s vice president of government relations. Mackay and Masucci, both veterans of earlier test flights to space, ignited Unity’s hybrid rocket motor and piloted the spaceplane pitched up onto a near-vertical trajectory. Burning rubberized solid propellant with liquid nitrous oxide, Unity’s hybrid motor fired for about one minute, accelerating the craft to about three times the speed of sound before shutting down.

• As the spaceplane rose upward, Branson and company had a chance to briefly unstrap, float about the cabin and marvel at the spectacular view as Unity reached its maximum altitude of 53.5 miles — three-and-a-half miles above what NASA and the FAA consider the “boundary” of space where the atmosphere is so thin that wings, rudders and other aerodynamic surfaces no longer have any effect. Live video from inside the spacecraft showed Branson and his crewmates floating free of their seats and enjoying the sensation of weightlessness and the out-of-this-world view. (see 3:12 minute video below)

• “To all you kids down there, I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars,” Branson said while his crewmates floated weighlessly in the background. “Now I’m an adult, in a spaceship with lots of other wonderful adults, looking down to our beautiful, beautiful Earth. To the next generation of dreamers: If we can do this, just imagine what you can do!”

• A few moments later, the spacecraft then began the long plunge back to Earth. The pilots guided the spaceplane through a spiraling descent, lined up on Spaceport America’s 12,000-foot-long runway and settled to a picture-perfect landing, closing out a flight that lasted 59 minutes from takeoff to touchdown.

• Sunday’s launch marked Unity’s 22nd test flight, its fourth trip to space, Virgin’s first with a six-person crew on board and the first for Branson, who beat Bezos into space by nine days. Branson effectively blindsided Bezos, scheduling Sunday’s flight just ahead of the Amazon founder’s, which had already been announced. But Branson insisted again Sunday that he doesn’t view the competition as a “race” for space. “I’ve said this so many times, it really wasn’t a race,” Branson said. “We’re just delighted that everything went so fantastically well. We wish Jeff the absolute best and the people who are going up with him during his flight.”

 

                 Branson and Virgin crew

Virgin Galactic owner Richard Branson rocketed into space Sunday, an edge-of-the-

                ‘VSS Unity’ spaceplane

seat sub-orbital test flight intended to demonstrate his company’s air-launched spaceplane is ready for passengers who can afford the ultimate thrill ride.

And it appeared to do just that, zooming to an altitude just above 50 miles and giving Branson and his five crewmates about three minutes of weightlessness and spectacular views of Earth before plunging back into the atmosphere for a spiraling descent to touchdown at Virgin’s New Mexico launch site.

                     Richard Branson

“I have dreamt of this moment since I was a kid but honestly, nothing could prepare you for the view of Earth from space,” Branson, 70, said after landing, at a rare loss for words. “It was just magical. … I’m just taking it all in, it’s unreal.”

The flight effectively upstaged Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who plans a sub-orbital spaceflight of his own aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft on July 20 as the two companies compete for passengers in the emerging commercial space marketplace.

Bezos complimented Branson and his team after landing, posting a note to Instagram saying “congratulations on the flight. Can’t wait to join the club!”

Mexico, at 8:40 a.m. local time (10:40 a.m. EDT).

Joining the globe-trotting billionaire aboard Unity were pilots David Mackay and Michael Masucci, along with Virgin astronaut trainer Beth Moses, flight engineer Colin Bennett and Sirisha Bandla, the company’s vice president of government relations.

With a throng of reporters and a global audience following along on YouTube and across Virgin’s social media channels, the Virgin mothership VMS Eve slowly climbed to an altitude of about 45,000 feet and then, after a final round of safety checks, released Unity high above the New Mexico desert.

Filmmakers Continue Hunt for the Truth in New Documentary ‘On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky’

Article by Jeff Spry                                                          June 3, 2021                                                                      (space.com)

• Not since the 1970s when author Erich von Daniken’s “Chariots of the Gods” topped book sales charts and Steven Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” mined box office gold has there been such interest in ufology and the scientific realities of UFOs.

• A new documentary by the award-winning filmmakers at Small Town Monsters is shining further light on the subject matter with “On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky”. This latest project is a sequel to “On the Trail of UFOs” from 2020, an acclaimed series that took an intimate look at the current state of UFOs and our country’s constantly-shifting relationship with the culture. It became one of the most-viewed independent UFO documentary titles in history, pulling in nearly 10 million views on Amazon Prime alone. The new film, from 1091 Pictures, will be available to purchase or rent starting August 3rd on streaming platforms including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, and FandangoNOW. (see 2:21 minute trailer for “On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky” below)

• In this sequel, cryptid documentarian Seth Breedlove (“On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Journey”) and paranormal researcher Shannon LeGro (“Into The Fray”) continue their hunt for the truth behind the UFO enigma. “Dark Sky” explores the UFO/UAP topic from the point-of-view of LeGro, a well-known podcast host and bestselling author. It leans heavily on actual eyewitness accounts and connections between UFOs and energy sources.

• “This project excited us because we were able to look into reports from real people in real places that still connect what they’re seeing to what is being talked about in the mainstream media today,” Breedlove said. “Particularly, this idea of why these objects or lights in the sky might actually be here on Earth and how they might be closer connected to us than we think.”

 

                         Seth Breedlove

America is currently in the throes of UFO mania these days, especially with the

                        Shannon LeGro

Pentagon’s recent inconclusive report to Congress on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) recently emerging after Navy footage showed strange objects buzzing over the ocean at hypersonic speeds.

Not since the 1970s when author Erich von Daniken’s “Chariots of the Gods” topped book sales charts and Steven Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” mined box office gold has there been such interest in ufology and getting to the scientific realities of uncanny sightings.

Now a new documentary by the award-winning filmmakers at Small Town Monsters is shining further light on the subject matter with “On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky” and Space.com has an exclusive first look at the official full trailer.

This latest project is a sequel to “On the Trail of UFOs” from 2020, their acclaimed series that took an intimate look at the current state of unidentified flying objects and our country’s constantly-shifting relationship with the culture. It became one of the most-viewed independent UFO documentary titles in history, pulling in nearly 10 million views on Amazon Prime alone.

Here, cryptid documentarian Seth Breedlove (“On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Journey”) and paranormal researcher Shannon LeGro (“Into The Fray”) continue their hunt for the truth behind the enigma of unidentified flying objects in this newest Small Town Monsters release.

“Dark Sky” explores the UFO and UAP topic from the point-of-view of LeGro, a well-known podcast host and bestselling author, and leans more heavily on actual eyewitness accounts than typical alien fare by focusing on connections between Unidentified Objects and energy sources.

Aliens Mutilating and Slaughtering British Sheep, Say UFO Hunters

Article by Isobel Dickinson                                                   July 3, 2021                                                               (dailystar.co.uk)

• Carl Nally, founder of UFO and Paranormal Research Ireland, and Dermot Butler have published a book: Circle Of Deceit: A Terrifying Alien Agenda In Ireland And Beyond, which delves into a particular farming area in Northern Ireland where, over the past few years, hundreds of farmers have reported livestock dying in mysterious circumstances.

• Nally claims that thousands of farm animals and even pets in the UK and Ireland are being killed by other lifeforms. He believes that that the extraterrestrial visitors are experimenting on the animals. Sheep have even been spotted being ‘beamed up’ to an aliens spacecraft. According to Nally and Butler, nearly 600 animals in Britain have been subjected to precise surgical procedures to remove specific body parts. “Highly advanced and apparently other-worldly technology has been utilized to perform these clinical procedures,” they say. All of this has occurred over a 20-year period baffling local police.

• Sheep in the UK have also been observed behaving strangely, as if controlled by an otherworldly force. A flock of around 300 formed an eerie series of circles, one inside another, on a hillside in Sussex.

• “There is a sinister and deeply shocking new aspect to this enigma on the farm, whereby many of the targeted animals that are subjected to these bizarre procedures are left alive afterwards by the unseen perpetrators,” said Nally. “Human beings are being subjected to the very same grisly surgical processes that have been administered to numerous animal species by a vastly superior, unknown, cold and calculated intelligence.”

• In 2011, declassified FBI files revealed that the US White House was sent into a panic after reports that extraterrestrials were killing cows. Documents revealed that more than 8,000 cows were snatched by mystery craft, mutilated and dropped from the skies in the late 1970s.

• In April 2015, farmers in Iceland were left bewildered when more than 5,000 sheep died in an unexplained incident. “Globally, the animals are almost ¬invariably discovered dead and drained completely of blood.” Nally fears that people will be next.

 

Aliens have killed thousands of sheep in the UK during weird experiments, UFO hunters

                             Carl Nally

claim.

Over the past few years, hundreds of farmers have reported livestock dying in mysterious circumstances.

Police are baffled by many of the incidents, but paranormal investigators blame visitors from other worlds.

Alien expert Carl Nally said he investigated the deaths of almost 600 sheep at a farm in Northern Ireland.

                         Dermot Butler

He thinks the encounter – in which they also had their tongues cut out – was down to extra-terrestrials.

Thousands of farm animals in the UK and Ireland – and even pets – are being killed by other lifeforms, he claims.

Carl’s own book, Circle Of Deceit: A Terrifying Alien Agenda In Ireland And Beyond, alleges the visitors are experimenting on the animals.

He and co-author Dermot Butler say some of the beings have even been spotted beaming up sheep to their craft.

Carl, founder of UFO and Paranormal Research Ireland, said: “We have researched and investigated the only farm location in the world where almost 600 animals, over a 20-year period, have been subjected to precise surgical procedures to remove specific body parts.

“Highly advanced and apparently other-worldly technology has been utilised to perform these clinical procedures.

“There is a sinister and deeply shocking new aspect to this enigma on the farm, whereby many of the targeted animals that are subjected to these bizarre procedures are left alive afterwards by the unseen perpetrators.

“Globally, the animals are almost invariably discovered dead and drained completely of blood.”

Most Americans Believe Intelligent Life Exists on Other Planets and We Have Nothing to Fear from UFOs

Article by Chris Ciaccia                                                         July 2, 2021                                                               (dailymail.co.uk)

• Prior to release of the Pentagon’s report on UFOs, Pew Research surveyed 10,417 American adults between June 14th and June 24th about the chances of intelligent extraterrestrial existing and even visiting the Earth. The findings were made public June 30th.

• Matching a separate survey released by CBS News in May (see ExoArticle here), nearly two-thirds (65%) of all Americans believe that extraterrestrials exist on other planets, and 87% of them think that extraterrestrials are not a threat to humankind one way or another.

• Fifty-one percent of respondents believe that the UFOs/UAPs reported by the US military are ‘likely evidence of intelligent life outside of Earth. Of these respondents, 40% believe there is ‘probably’ evidence of extraterrestrial life and 11 % believe there is ‘definitely’ evidence. Not surprisingly, those who think there is intelligent life outside Earth are more inclined to see military reports of UFOs as evidence of an extraterrestrial source behind those UFOs. On June 29th, after acknowledging that he had read the unreleased classified report, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said that he thinks ‘we’re not alone’.

• Additionally, 51 % of Americans surveyed by Pew think if it exists, extraterrestrial life is not a threat at all, while 36% perceive them as a ‘minor’ threat. Only one-in-ten say that UFOs are a ‘major threat to US national security’. In fact, 17 % said intelligent life would be friendly, 7 % said they’d be unfriendly, and 74 % said they are indifferent to us.

• Some segments of the public are more likely to believe in intelligent life on other planets. About three-quarters (76 %) of adults under age 30 say intelligent life exists on other planets, versus 57 % of Americans 50 and older. Men are slightly more likely (70%) than women (60%) to believe in intelligent life outside of this planet.

 

Nearly two-thirds of all Americans believe that extraterrestrials exist on other planets, but 87% of them think that they are not a threat in one way or another, according to a new survey.

Pew Research surveyed 10,417 American adults between June 14 and June 24 and found that 65 percent of respondents believe that extraterrestrials exist on other planets, a similar figure to a survey released by CBS News in May.

Fifty-one percent of respondents believe that unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) reported by the military are ‘likely evidence of intelligent life outside of Earth.’

                         Bill Nelson

Of that figure, 40 percent believe there is ‘probably’ evidence of extraterrestrial life and 11 percent believe there is ‘definitely’ evidence.

Conversely, 47 percent of respondents – believe the reports are probably (36 percent) or definitely (11 percent) not evidence of life outside this planet.

‘Perhaps not surprisingly, those who think there is intelligent life outside Earth are more inclined than others to see military reports of UFOs as evidence (69 percent and 16 percent, respectively),’ Pew wrote in a statement.

On Monday, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said that he thinks ‘we’re not alone’ after acknowledging that he had read the classified report.

Additionally, 87 percent of Americans surveyed by Pew think extraterrestrial life – if it exists – is not a threat at all (51 percent of respondents think) or a minor threat (36 percent).

Conversely, just one-in-ten say that UFOs are a ‘major threat to US national security.’

When asked for a best guess, 17 percent of respondents said intelligent life would be friendly, 7 percent said unfriendly and 74 percent said neither.

‘Some segments of the public are more likely than others to believe that intelligent life exists on other planets,’ Pew added.

‘This view is especially pronounced among younger Americans. About three-quarters (76 percent) of adults under age 30 say intelligent life exists on other planets, versus 57 percent of those 50 and older.’

Now Would Be a Good Time to Know the Truth About Extraterrestrials

Article by Brandon Gage                                                June 30, 2021                                                        (hillreporter.com)

• Recently, the NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, a former astronaut and Democratic United States Senator from Florida, admitted on CNN that he believes that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe and that he could not rule out the possibility that a small percentage of UFOs have otherworldly origins. “Are we alone? Personally, I don’t think we are,” Nelson said. “People are hungry for this kind of information and they’re going to keep searching.”

• This is an extraordinary statement for a NASA Administrator to make given the US government’s history of cover-ups and denials surrounding the subject of aliens and spaceships from other planets visiting Earth. If the government is slowly grooming the public about the existence of life beyond our world (or our dimension), it could not come at a more crucial time for our species.

• Conventional wisdom states that society would break down into chaos if people were suddenly informed that there are extraterrestrial beings out there with technologies that could be millions of years ahead of ours – keeping tabs on us. Resulting doomsday predictions of mass riots, war, alien invasions, and religious extremism have been popularized in the media since the 1950s when the modern UFO craze began. Those concerns might have been valid during the Cold War when the United States and the Soviet Union were ready to annihilate life on Earth at a moments’ notice. But we no longer live in that world.

• Despite our small differences, humanity is interconnected like never before. Geographical borders no longer divide us. Instead, demagogues and power-hungry charlatans have exploited our technologies to manipulate the population into believing that neighbors are each other’s enemies and that deeply-held personal beliefs – no matter how ridiculous – hold more weight than objective truths.

• If it were to be revealed that Earth is and has been visited by extraterrestrial beings from another part of the galaxy, it would be a uniting wake-up call for every human on this planet. If ETs are hostile, they could wipe us out without so much as a warning and we would be powerless to stop it. That has not happened, so there is little reason to believe that it will.

• In the meantime, we are living through a real-time disaster movie of our own making because our leaders chose to ignore the science and focus on short-term financial gain. The ‘summer of hell’ has begun in North America with temperatures soaring past 120 degrees Fahrenheit in Canada and in the Pacific Northwest. Sea level rise is being blamed for the deadly condo collapse in Sunrise, Florida. In the American West, a historic megadrought is literally draining Lake Mead and other sources of water for millions of people. The bill for such grotesque negligence is coming due, and fast. If someone is out there, now would be the time to make it known. Our collective destiny may depend on it.

 

I was an X-Files kid. I still binge-watch reruns on Hulu. That quintessential 90s show inspired a generation to look up at the sky and wonder what or who is really out there. The answer may be closer than ever.

Last weekend, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Administrator Bill Nelson – a former astronaut and Democratic United States Senator from Florida – admitted on CNN that he believes that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe and that he could not rule out the possibility that a small percentage of unidentified aerial phenomena – more popularly known as UFOs – have otherworldly origins.

“My feeling is that there is clearly something there. It may not necessarily be extraterrestrial, but if it is a technology that some of our adversaries have then we’d better be concerned,” he said. “Remember, the universe is so large. We have a program in NASA called the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. But thus far we don’t have any receipt of a communication from something that’s intelligent.”

                             Bill Nelson

But, he added, that does not mean humanity has no neighbors in the cosmos.

“Are we alone? Personally, I don’t think we are,” he said. “The universe is so big. It’s 13 and a half billion years ago when the universe started. That’s pretty big. People are hungry for this kind of information and they’re going to keep searching.”

Those are extraordinary statements for someone in Nelson’s position to be making given the United States government’s history of coverups and denials surrounding the subject of aliens and spaceships from other planets visiting Earth. His words are even more amazing when coupled with recent footage released by the Pentagon of military encounters with unidentifiable craft speeding through the sky and bouncing in and out of the ocean, seemingly defying the known laws of physics.

Netflix’ New Series About UFOs

Article by David Hookstead                                                   July 03, 2021                                                           (dailycaller.com)

• Netflix’s new series “Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassified” is an “original factual television series featuring the most recent information and proof exposing the most top-secret government projects that handled contacts with and cover-ups of, extraterrestrial presence on Earth”. (see 1:43 minute trailer below)

• UFOs are all over the news these days. They’re incredibly popular and that’s not going to change in the near future. In fact, the government’s report on UFOs admitted that there have been several sightings with no known explanation. If that doesn’t make you interested, nothing will.

 

Netflix’s new series “Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassified” looks like it’s going to be a fun time.

The plot of the series, according to the trailer’s description, is, “Original factual television series featuring the most recent information and proof exposing the most top-secret government projects that handled contacts with and cover-ups of, extraterrestrial presence on Earth.”

You can watch the trailer below. It looks pretty fascinating.

As everyone knows, UFOs are all over the news these days. They’re incredibly popular, and I don’t think that’s going to change at any point in the near future.

I mean, why wouldn’t people be talking about it? The government’s report on UFOs admitted that there have been several sightings with no known explanation.

If that doesn’t make you interested, I don’t know what ever will.

Electromagnetic Drive Inventor says UFOs Could Be Secret U.S. Military Craft

Article by David Hambling                                                June 29, 2021                                                            (forbes.com)

• The recently released Pentagon UAP Task Force Preliminary Unclassified report on UFOs examines 144 recent sightings by U.S. government personnel of “physical objects” registered across multiple sensors,” according to the report. One of the possibilities that the report suggests is “US (government) or U.S. industry developmental programs”. The report also states that many of these objects share an unusual type of “advanced propulsion” and could remain motionless against the wind at high altitude, execute high-speed maneuvers, and move at high speed “without discernable means of propulsion.” In addition, the report states that in some cases “radio frequency (RF) energy (was) associated with UAP sightings.”

• British scientist Roger Shawyer (pictured above) says that these features are all consistent with the electromagnetic drive, or EmDrive, which he developed, and which is still very much under development by DARPA. An EmDrive is able to generate thrust from a closed system. The results have apparently been repeated at independent labs around the world including NASA’s Eagleworks and researchers at Xi’an in China. While existing versions only produce tiny amounts of thrust, Shawyer calculates that a version based on superconductors could drive a high-speed demonstration vehicle.

• Shawyer thinks that it is telling that the UAP report is rather precise, referring to “advanced propulsion” rather than ‘exotic’ or ‘unexplained’. The EmDrive is able to produce the sort of maneuvers described without the heat output or noise of a jet engine. The radio output observed is also highly characteristic of the EmDrive. “In all my experimental work, stray RF [radiofrequency] energy was detectable, and having a field meter to monitor radiation leakage was part of the safety procedures that were mandatory for tests by Boeing,” says Shawyer. Boeing has declined to comment on its involvement in the project.

• Shawyer’s conclusion is that these UFO/UAPs are consistent with the EmDrive technology that was purchased by Boeing in 2009 and tested successfully. The report tacitly admits that this is a possibility: “Some UAP observations could be attributable to developments and classified programs by U.S. entities. We were unable to confirm, however, that these systems accounted for any of the UAP reports we collected.” “The words ‘unable to confirm’ is standard government-speak for a classified subject,” says Shawyer.

• Mike McCulloch of the University of Plymouth is heading up the DARPA EmDrive project. He also noted the similarities between the reports and the drive he is working on. “Behavior of these UAPs is what you would expect from a quantized inertia (QI) horizon drive,” says McCulloch. He says this type of drive can achieve the sort of sharp acceleration would normally be intolerable for the pilot and electronics inside. “Inertia is just a push from the quantum vacuum and it can be damped by the use of synthetic horizons,” says McCulloch. “This means a spacecraft can accelerate as much as you want and you will not feel any forces inside.” “I’m not saying that UAPs are real,” says McCulloch, “just that the observations are consistent with QI technology.”

• Skeptics, of course, claim that a quantized inertia EmDrive violates the laws of physics and can never generate thrust. Positive results are met with furious rebuttals. Setbacks are hailed as the end of the EmDrive. Suffice to say, the debate continues.

• Exactly why such experimental craft would make fleeting appearances during U.S. military exercises is of course a big question. It might be convenient if the U.S can claim ignorance if such craft also appear watching military exercises elsewhere.

 

                               EmDrive

The Pentagon has a long history of misleading reports on UFOs. The new paper on

     Roger Shawyer and Mike McCulloch

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) may be another example, according to the British scientist Roger Shawyer. Looking at their accounts, Shawyer has an explanation which is hinted at, but also concealed by the report.

“I think the UAPs are American,” Shawyer told me.

The report discusses 144 recent sightings by U.S. government personnel, many of them Air Force and Navy pilots and sensor operators. In most cases the UFO was spotted by several means, such as visual contact and radar or infra-red together.

“Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP were registered across multiple sensors,” according to the report.

The report suggests there might be several types of objects, including airborne clutter such as balloons, natural atmospheric phenomena, “USG or U.S. industry developmental programs,” foreign adversary systems and Other.

Some details seemed to turn up repeatedly across the sightings. In particular many seemed to share an unusual type of “advanced propulsion” and could remain motionless against the wind at high altitude, execute high-speed maneuvers, and move at high speed “without discernable means of propulsion.”

In addition, the report states that in some cases “military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings.”

Shawyer says that these features are all consistent with the electromagnetic drive, or EmDrive, which he developed, and which, despite considerable controversy and misleading reports of its demise, is still very much under development by DARPA.

Depending on which theory you follow, the EmDrive uses an obscure piece of physics to seemingly generate thrust from a closed system. The results have apparently repeated at independent labs around the world including NASA’s Eagleworks and researchers at Xi’an in China. While existing versions only produce tiny amounts of thrust, comparable to ion drives used on satellites and space probes, Shawyer calculates that a version based on superconductors could drive a high-speed demonstration vehicle.

First Fifty Officers to Transfer from Other Services to Space Force

Article by Abraham Mahshie                                            June 30, 2021                                                         (airforcemag.com)

• The US Space Force currently consists of 5,200 Air Force transfers. As of July, another 50 active-duty Army, Navy, and Marine Corps volunteers are also to be transferred to Space Force out of a highly-competitive pool of over 3,700 applicants. Another round of 350 personnel transfers will be announced in July to fill specialties including space operations, intelligence, cyber, engineering, and acquisition by 2022.

• In a June 30 press statement, Gen. David D. Thompson, vice chief of space operations, said, “We are overwhelmed by the number of applicants, and the outpouring of support our sister services have provided as we’ve partnered together to design the Space Force.”

• As of June 15th, the total manpower of the Space Force stands at roughly 12,000 Guardians, with some 6,000 civilians and 5,500 military. An undisclosed number of Air Force Airmen also continue to support the Space Force in an administrative assignment capacity. By 2022, that number should reach 16,000 with the planned future transfers. This relatively small number of personnel, compared to the other five US military branches, will comprise the “lean” new space domain fighting force. “[M]ore information will be released in the coming months,” a Space Force spokesperson said.

 

           Gen. David D. Thompson

Out of a pool of more than 3,700 applicants, the first 50 Active-duty Army, Navy, and Marine Corps volunteers were announced for transfer to the Space Force beginning in July. A second tranche of 350 transfers will be announced in July to match Space Force specialties including space operations, intelligence, cyber, engineering, and acquisition.

The highly competitive process continues the organic growth of the military’s newest service, joining 5,200 Air Force transfers.

“We are overwhelmed by the number of applicants, and the outpouring of support our sister services have provided as we’ve partnered together to design the Space Force,” said Gen. David D. Thompson, vice chief of space operations, in a June 30 press statement.

The total manpower of the Space Force is roughly 12,000 Guardians, with some 6,000 civilians and 5,500 military as of June 15. An undisclosed number of Air Force Airmen also continue to support the Space Force in an administrative assignment capacity.

A Space Force spokesperson told Air Force Magazine June 30 that the force is onboarding the first 50 transfers from other services in fiscal 2021, which ends Sept. 30. The July announcement of 350 more transfers will be onboarded in the 2022 fiscal year.

New Guardians will join the force on a staggered approach according to their own individual schedules rather than a single transfer ceremony.

NASA Updates its UFO FAQ Page

Article by Andrew Paul                                                      July 1, 2021                                                            (avclub.com)

• On June 25th, NASA updated its Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs/UFOs) webpage’s FAQ (frequently asked questions). (see here) Among the frequently asked questions and answers (paraphrased): Does NASA actually search for aliens? Yes. Is that something that’s actually worth their time? Sure, why not? How do they search for said aliens?A lot of fancy-pants ways we wouldn’t understand. And, of course, have they found anybody out there? No, please stop asking.

• Says NASA: “There is a possibility and indeed a probability of life beyond Earth. Science is driven by the desire to better understand the unknown – but science is ultimately a matter of evidence, and we have not yet detected extraterrestrial life. We do, however, continue to look.”

• NASA is adamant that they aren’t technically the ones who hunt for UAPs. “NASA does not actively search for UAPs. However, through our Earth-observing satellites, NASA collects extensive data about Earth’s atmosphere, often in collaboration with the other space agencies of the world… While these data are not specifically collected to identify UAPs or alien technosignatures, they are publicly available and anyone may use them to search the atmosphere.”

• You hear that? “Anyone may use them.” [Editor’s Note] Calling on all advocates of UFO disclosure. Get on the NASA site and start scouring the Earth’s atmosphere for anomalies. Who knows, you might capture the definitive image of a flying saucer from above.

 

Despite our repeatedly provided, ironclad evidence that aliens are obviously, unequivocally here among us (unlike ghosts), a lot of people still seem compelled to“ask the experts” about it. We don’t know if “hurt” is the word to describe their distrust of us, but… like, what more could you need? It’s fine. We’re over it already… because guess what, truth seekers? The professional seekers of truth are real goddamn tired of all your questions, too. How do you like them alien apples, huh?

                                    Earth

Recently, NASA updated its (admittedly still sparse) Frequently Asked Questions page on unidentified flying objects unidentified aerial phenomena, we assume to mitigate at least some of the latest uptick in all things extraterrestrial. Among the questions frequently asked: Does NASA actually search for aliens? Is that something that’s actually worth their time? How do they search for said aliens? And, of course, have they found anybody out there?

The respective answers, in a nutshell:
• Yes.
• Sure, why not?
• A lot of fancy-pants ways we wouldn’t understand.
• No, please stop asking.

US Navy Serviceman Who Saw ‘Tic Tac’ UFO Demands Apology for Ridicule He Endured

Article by Max Gorbachev                                            June 28, 2021                                                          (sputniknews.com)

• The much-anticipated Pentagon UAP Task Force report revealed that US authorities have no explanation for more than 140 UFO sightings, including the ‘Tic Tac’ UFO spotted by US Navy personnel while conducting naval exercises off of the coast of southern California in November of 2004. The UFO research organization ‘To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science’ leaked the Tic Tac UFO video to the NY Times in December 2017, and the Pentagon later confirmed the veracity of the video.

• The Tic Tac UFO was first spotted by the USS Princeton’s radars, before American pilots on the USS Nimitz were told to check on it. But the pilots, including Commander David Fravor, couldn’t keep up with it. They claimed that the object travelled at a speed they had never seen before. “There was no propulsion, there was no wings. It rapidly accelerates and disappears. Weirdest thing I have ever seen in my life”, said Fravor. When Fravor wanted to check the radar tapes of the encounter, the tapes from the USS Princeton were missing. Someone had “taken that page from the logbook”.

• Kevin Day was one of the Navy serviceman who first spotted the Tic Tac UFO on the USS Princeton. “I had tried in vain to get somebody, anybody, to listen to me,” said Day. “Yet, every time I tried to describe what we had witnessed… I was openly laughed at. At the time my concern was purely safety of flight because of objects that I knew to be real and inexplicable were in our training areas.” But for years, Day says he was butt of jokes by higher-ranking officers. Even his then-boss asked him ‘what the fuck he had been smoking’.

• Now retired from the Navy, Day says he has no words to describe the vindication he feels following the release of the Pentagon’s report on UFOs. And Days is demanding a public apology from the Department of Defense and the Navy for the abuse he endured. “I… hold NAVY/DOD directly responsible for what I and others went through as a result of trying to uphold our own duty and simply do the job the American people paid and expected us to do,” Day posted on his Facebook page. “I and others deserve a formal public apology and a redress for the costs I/we paid.”

2004. However, the world only became aware of it in 2017, when the footage was released by the To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science, an organisation that conducts research on extraterrestrial life. The Pentagon later confirmed the veracity of the video.

A US serviceman, who first spotted the infamous Tic Tac UFO, has demanded a public apology from the Department of Defence and the Navy following the release of a Pentagon dossier that revealed the US military has no explanation for the sightings of mysterious objects spotted by civilians and servicemen.

Kevin Day wrote that for years he was the butt of jokes by higher-ranking officers, while his then-boss plainly asked him “what the f**k” he had been “smoking”.

“I had tried in vain to get somebody, anybody, to listen to me. Yet, every time I tried to describe what we had witnessed out in SOCAL during TIC TAC, I was openly laughed at. At the time my concern was purely safety of flight because of objects that I knew to be real and inexplicable were in our training areas. I also hold NAVY/DOD directly responsible for what I and others went through as a result of trying to uphold our own duty and simply do the job the American people paid and expected us to do .. I and others deserve a formal public apology and a redress for the costs I/we paid”, he wrote in a post on Facebook.

The former servicemen said he has no words to describe the vindication he feels following the release of the Pentagon’s report on UFOs.

As mentioned earlier, the encounter with the mysterious tic-tac-shaped object occurred in November of 2004. The eerie UFO was first spotted by the USS Princeton’s radars, before American pilots on the USS Nimitz were told to check on it.

                               Kevin Day

Yet, all four pilots failed to get close to the object, which they argue travelled at a speed they had never seen before.

“There was no propulsion, there was no wings. It rapidly accelerates and disappears. Weirdest thing I have ever seen in my life”, said pilot David Fravor. Fravor also revealed that after the encounter he wanted to check on radar tapes, but when he tried all the tapes from the USS Princeton were missing.

“I was chatting to someone at the archives and they’ve said someone has taken that page from the logbook”, he said.

The much-anticipated Pentagon dossier on UFOs revealed that US authorities still have no explanation for more than 140 sightings of mysterious objects, including the Tic Tac UFO, spotted by civilians and servicemen.

Space Force’s Task to Protect and Defend U.S. Interests Between Here and the Moon

Article by Lauren Fruen                                                  June 28 2021                                                                 (the-sun.com)

• On July 23rd, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) released a 23-page document entitled: “A Primer on Cislunar Space”, referring to the area between the Earth and the Moon. The director of AFRL’s Space Vehicles Directorate, Col. Eric Felt, states: “As commerce extends to the Moon and beyond, it is vital we understand and solve those unique challenges so that we can provide space domain awareness and security.” With the Moon more than 238,000 miles from Earth, countries are scrambling to fill the gap.

• The US Space Force is tasked with defending and protecting U.S. interests in space. When Space Force was established by President Trump in December 2019 as a ‘separate but equal’ branch of the US military, the limits of protected space was in near-Earth geostationary range at 22,236 miles. “With new US public and private sector operations extending into cislunar space, the reach of USSF’s sphere of interest will extend to 272,000 miles and beyond – more than a tenfold increase in range and 1,000-fold expansion in service volume,” reads the report.

• The report adds: “As USSF organizes, trains, and equips to provide the resources necessary to protect and defend vital US interests in and beyond Earth-orbit, new collaborations will be key to operating safely and securely on these distant frontiers.” The report is “targeted at military space professionals who will answer the call to develop plans, capabilities, expertise, and operational concepts.”

• When Space Force was launched, Donald Trump said at the time: “When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space.

• Earlier this month, Air Force Colonel Eric Felt got straight to the point: “Space war is going to look a lot like the Cold War in a couple of different ways. First of all, we hope nobody’s actually exchanging destructive weapons with each other, and that we don’t just hope, but we take active actions to deter that from happening. The nature of conflict in space is that there is an offensive advantage, or a ‘first-mover’ advantage, in that it is a lot easier to attack somebody else than to defend your own stuff. And we’ve seen that before—that’s the same as with…nuclear weapons.”

 

                       Colonel Eric Felt

An Air Force Research Laboratory report details how the Earth’s only natural satellite – and the space around it – could become a new military frontier, SpaceNews reports.

The 23-page document, “A Primer on Cislunar Space”, was published by the Air Force Research Laboratory just two days before the US government admitted they could not explain 144 sightings of flying objects.

    President Trump creating Space Force

The report explains it “is targeted at military space professionals who will answer the call to develop plans, capabilities, expertise, and operational concepts.”

It adds: “When established in December 2019, USSF [United States Space Force] was tasked with defending and protecting U.S. interests in space.

“Until now, the limits of that mission have been in near Earth, out to approximately geostationary range (22,236 miles). ”

The report adds: “With new US public and private sector operations extending into cislunar space, the reach of USSF’s sphere of interest will extend to 272,000 miles and beyond – more than a tenfold increase in range and 1,000-fold expansion in service volume.”

Cislunar space is the space between Earth and the moon.

The report adds: “As USSF organizes, trains, and equips to provide the resources necessary to protect and defend vital US interests in and beyond Earth-orbit, new collaborations will be key to operating safely and securely on these distant frontiers.”

UK Defence Minister Dismisses UFOs as a Potential Threat, No Need to Investigate

Article by Press Association 2021                                           June 30, 2021                                                      (leighjournal.co.uk)

• The recent release of an Interim Pentagon UFO report concluded that the UFO phenomena ‘could be military aircraft with very fast capabilities or even extraterrestrial’. At the minimum, said the report, the UFOs “clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to US national security.” Of 144 UFO sightings by US military pilots since 2004, all but one remains unexplained, according to the report.

• Raising the US report in the British Parliament, former Conservative Party treasurer Lord Sarfraz said, “For decades people who have been concerned with UFOs have been dismissed as fantasists. But now the US Director of National Intelligence, who oversees 17 intelligence agencies, has published a report saying that data on UFOs is inconclusive.”

• So does the British Ministry of Defence take reports of UFOs in British airspace seriously? Defence Minister Baroness Goldie (pictured above) responded: “The MoD deals with actual threats substantiated by evidence.” “The Government continues to take any potential threat to the UK seriously.” However, “in over 50 years no such reporting had indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom”. Therefore, the British Government has no plans to conduct its own investigation into UFOs.

• Tory peer Viscount Ridley chimed in: “Unidentified does not mean suspicious… The idea that in an era of mobile phone cameras, drones and frequent travel there could possibly be alien spaceships whizzing about undetected in our atmosphere on a regular basis is not I think very plausible. It’s much more likely that these blurred images have boring explanations, alas.”

• Lady Goldie said: “The UK air defence community detects and monitors all flying air systems 24 hours a day to provide an identified air picture as part of the UK’s national security posture and our commitment to the integrity of NATO airspace.” Typhoon combat aircraft in Scotland and in Lincolnshire are “held at high readiness ready to intercept any threat to UK airspace”. Dismissing UFOs, Lady Goldie stated: “We deal with actual threats substantiated by evidence.”

• Labour frontbencher Lord Coaker pointed out that “the Pentagon has said that ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ are actually a serious national security threat. When asked if she agreed with that assessment, Lady Goldie remarked: “We are of course aware of the US assessment… We regard threats as having to exist in the first place. We regard them as having to be substantiated by evidence and that’s because we need to know what we are addressing and how best we can address it. The MoD has no plans to conduct its own report into UAP because in over 50 years no such reporting had indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom.”

 

  Conservative Party treasurer Lord Sarfraz

Assurances were sought at Westminster following the publication of a Pentagon

           Eurofighter Typhoon jets

report which said the phenomena “may pose a challenge to US national security”.

However, the British Government has said it has no plans to conduct its own investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), better known to the public as UFOs, “because in over 50 years no such reporting had indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom”.

The interim Pentagon report said of 144 sightings by military pilots since 2004, all but one remain unexplained.

It also said while there were “no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation” for the objects, it also did not rule it out.

        Viscount Matt Ridley

Pointing out they “probably lack a single explanation”, it added: “UAP clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to US national security.”

Raising the US report in Parliament, former Conservative Party treasurer Lord Sarfraz said: “For decades people who have been concerned with UFOs have been dismissed as fantasists.

“But now the US director of national intelligence, who oversees 17 intelligence agencies, has published a report saying that data on UFOs is inconclusive.

         Lord Vernon Coaker

“The report offers several possible explanations.

“It does not rule out that these could be military aircraft with very fast capabilities or even extraterrestrial phenomena.

“Either way can the minister reassure members of the public that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) takes reports of unidentified objects in our airspace very seriously?”

Responding, defence minister Baroness Goldie said: “The MoD deals with actual threats

            UFOs not a threat to the UK

substantiated by evidence.

“The Government continues to take any potential threat to the UK seriously.”

Tory peer Viscount Ridley said: “Unidentified does not mean suspicious.

“Does the minister recognise the US report referred to says there is no clear indication that there is any non-terrestrial explanation for the 144 sightings?

“The idea that in an era of mobile phone cameras, drones and frequent travel there could possibly be alien spaceships whizzing about undetected in our atmosphere on a regular basis is not I think very plausible.

Red-Flashing UFOs Seen Swarming USS Omaha in Newly Leaked Video Footage

Article by Paul Sacca                                                       June 30, 2021                                                                 (brobible.com)

• Early last month, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell leaked a video taken in July 2019 on the littoral combat ship USS Omaha of a spherical UFO hovering and then submersing under water. (see 1:39 minute video below) Then later in June, Corbell leaked another video of a radar image on the USS Omaha of at least 14 UFO surrounding the ship at night in July 2019. (see 45 second video and more comprehensive 27:26 minute video below). Now, to continue the USS Omaha series, Corbell has released a night-time video of red-flashing UFOs buzzing the Navy ship off of the cost of Southern California in July 2019. (see 4:19 minute video below)

• The newly leaked footage was apparently taken by on-board ‘VIPER’ TEAM (Visual Intelligence Personnel) on July 15, 2019, from the deck of the USS Omaha between 9 pm and 11 pm PST, according to Corbell. The footage was reportedly taken while the ship was in a “restricted warning area off San Diego.”

• The UFOs with flashing red lights traveled at speeds of 46 mph to 158 mph. “The most impressive evidence we witnessed was their endurance,” a USS Omaha crewman said. “The event lasted over an hour with all contacts just disappearing. We were never able to discern where they departed to.” “In the end I’m 50/50 that it is man-made tech from somewhere,” the crewman said. “Either way it’s world changing. Because of the incredible energy capacity of the crafts.”

• “These UFOs were NOT inconspicuous,” writes Corbell. “[T]hey were brazen; boldly buzzing our warships. To many involved, it stands to reason that the UFOs (their operators) WANTED to be seen and recorded.” The red-flashing UFO sighting ended with one of the UFOs crashing into the water, but no wreckage was found despite at least one U.S. Navy submarine searching for the vanishing craft.

Navy combat ship in the Pacific Ocean. The eye-opening video corresponds with the previous radar footage that was released earlier this month of 14 UAPs flying near the USS Omaha in July 2019.

The newly surfaced footage was apparently taken by “on-board ‘VIPER’ TEAM (Visual Intelligence Personnel)” on July 15, 2019, from the deck of the USS Omaha between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. PST, according to Jeremy Corbell, the filmmaker behind the UFO documentary Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. The footage was reportedly taken while the ship was in a “restricted warning area off San Diego.”

“The most impressive evidence we witnessed was their endurance,” a crewman of the USS Omaha allegedly said of the UAPs in the video. “The event lasted over an hour with all contacts just disappearing. We were never able to discern where they departed to.”

“In the end I’m 50/50 that it is man-made tech from somewhere,” a USS Omaha servicemember said. “Either way it’s world changing. Because of the incredible energy capacity of the crafts.”

Roswell Festival-Goers Don’t Buy the Government’s UFO Report

Article by Ben Wolfgang                                                July 2, 2021                                                  (washingtontimes.com)

• A record crowd of UFO enthusiasts came to Roswell, New Mexico over the Fourth of July weekend for the annual Roswell UFO Festival, where thousands converge on the small town to partake of the alien-themed concerts, games, outdoor movie showings, yoga, and a host of other events.

• This year’s festival had a special intrigue as the Pentagon and Office of the Director of National Intelligence just released an unclassified UAP Task Force report that investigated 144 military encounters with unidentified craft and could only explain one as a deflating balloon. The study claimed that while UFOs involve “breakthrough technologies” that could come from the Chinese, the Russians, or even extraterrestrials, they are almost certainly a national security threat to the U.S.

• For Roswell festival-goers and professional researchers alike, that explanation is absurd. What the people really want to know is how much information the government is withholding from the American people. The typical Roswell festival-goer can handle the truth. Carla Smith, 33, her best friend, Liz Keneski, 34, came from Austin, Texas. “People are open to it,” says Smith, “which is the first step to anything, learning more about it, being open to it,” Smith is even open to the idea that some extraterrestrials can travel via consciousness, not through the physical domain. Such theories are no longer laughed off. “Now it’s cool to believe in it.”

• Debra Tucker, 52, and her mother Joyce Rowell, 75, traveled to Roswell from Tecumseh, Oklahoma. Taking a break from an alien-themed coffeehouse scavenger hunt, Rowell asked: “Why don’t they (the government) tell us the truth?” Tucker said she is open-minded to all possibilities, including that at least some UFO sightings could be connected to extraterrestrial life. “I definitely think it could be true,” she said. “I haven’t ever seen one but I think it’s definitely possible. There’s so much out there we don’t know about.”

• A guest speaker at the International UFO Museum and Research Center, UFO expert Kathleen Marden took exception to the government’s assertion that UFOs could be Chinese or Russian technology. “These objects can hover at 80,000 feet for hours on end. We can’t do that. They can drop in a couple of seconds to 20,000 feet and hover there, and then they can descend to 50 feet above the churn of the ocean and bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball. We can’t do that. They have aerodynamic capabilities that, as far as we know, no one on this planet can replicate,” Marden told The Washington Times. “If people want to explain that away as Russia or China, then why haven’t they invaded? Why haven’t they decided to rule the world?”

 

ROSWELL, New Mexico — The federal government’s recent landmark UFO study failed to offer the clear answers many hoped for.

In fact, Joyce Rowell was left with the same question she’s always had.

“Why don’t they tell us the truth?” Ms. Rowell, 75, said Friday as she and her daughter, Debra Tucker, searched for the next clue on an alien-themed scavenger hunt inside a cozy coffeehouse in downtown Roswell.

Ms. Rowell and Ms. Tucker, 52, traveled here from Tecumseh, Oklahoma, for the city’s annual UFO Festival, which has drawn a record crowd this year amid skyrocketing public interest in the subject and the release last week of the government’s widely anticipated unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) report.

Inside Roswell’s Stellar Coffee Co. — which boasts the “Spock Special,” “Martian Sunrise” and “Alien Soda” among its menu offerings — Ms. Tucker said she remains open-minded to all possibilities, including that at least some UFO sightings could be connected to extraterrestrial life.

“I definitely think it could be true,” she said. “I haven’t ever seen one but I think it’s definitely possible. There’s so much out there we don’t know about.”

Ms. Tucker and Ms. Rowell are among the thousands who came to Roswell this weekend for the seemingly endless agenda of alien-themed concerts, games, outdoor movie showings, yoga, and a host of other events. But beneath the family-friendly atmosphere are serious questions about just how much information the government is withholding from the American people.

                         Kathleen Marden

The recent UAP report, released by the Pentagon and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, examined 144 military encounters with unidentified craft and could only explain one, which was believed to be a deflating balloon.

UFOs, the study said, could represent a major national security threat to the U.S. and may involve so-called “breakthrough technologies” that cannot be explained using today’s scientific knowledge.

While the document didn’t rule out extraterrestrials, it also raised the possibility that the craft could be high-tech Chinese or Russian vehicles or weapons. For Roswell festival-goers and professional researchers alike, that explanation is absurd.

“These objects can hover at 80,000 feet for hours on end. We can’t do that. They can drop in a couple of seconds to 20,000 feet and hover there, and then they can descend to 50 feet above the churn of the ocean and bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball. We can’t do that,” said author, researcher and social scientist Kathleen Marden, one of the UFO experts speaking this weekend at the city’s International UFO Museum and Research Center.

70 Years of UFO Cover-Ups Are Finally Coming to an End

Article by Gary Heseltine                                                    July 2, 2021                                                          (rt.com)

• For more than 70 years, highly trained, credible people have reported interactions with some kind of intelligence that is, literally, out of this world. Yet, the mass of corroborated testimony from military pilots, commercial pilots, astronauts, cosmonauts, radar operators, air traffic controllers, sonar operators, military personnel, and police officers from all around the world have been largely ignored by governments, military and scientists and the academic world. Why? Because governments across the planet, supported by the mainstream media, have poured scorn on and trivialized the subject of UFOs since the early 1950s. As the late Stanton Friedman used to say, “It can’t be, so it isn’t.”

• While the subject has opened up to the public in recent years, the manufactured stigma attached to the UFO topic makes it is still too ‘taboo’ for most. Scientists and academics still do not take the UFO phenomena seriously. It isn’t surprising, since for most of their lives they have been told that there is no evidence to support the premise that some of these reports are credible, cannot be explained, and may be of extraterrestrial/non-human origin.

• Almost all of these scientists, professors and the public in general do not realize that they have been hoodwinked by a huge propaganda machine that was deliberately created by the United States. In January 1953, a group of scientists met to figure out a way to ‘strip the aura’ from ‘flying saucers’. They decided the best way to do this was to dismiss, trivialize, scorn and debunk all UFO sightings through the use of the media in all its forms – television, film, newspapers, books, and magazines. They commissioned the ‘Robertson Panel’ to begin the process of stigma and ridicule that has plagued this topic for decades.

• Today, most astronomers won’t even consider looking at the mountain of UFO evidence, due to the perceived risk of ridicule and the effect on their careers. This has proven to be a powerful deterrent for those that dare to take the phenomena seriously. The message was clear to scientists and academics: stay away from UFO research or risk ruining your career.

• Yet over the past months, there have been significant developments on the UFO subject that seem to be signaling the end to this policy of deceit and denial. A government investigative task force just submitted a nine-page preliminary assessment report to Congress regarding US Navy encounters with UFOs off the east and west coasts of America in recent years. It cited 144 cases recorded by the US military since 2004 and stated that 143 remained unexplained. Given the huge technological resources the US has, it is a staggering statistic. We’ve also seen people at the highest levels of government and the military speak out about the phenomenon, in complete contrast to what leaders have said on the matter before.

• Said Senator Marco Rubio: “We have things flying around military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises, and we don’t know what it is and it isn’t ours. …I’d say frankly if it’s something outside this planet it would actually be better than the fact that we’ve seen some technology leap on behalf of the Russians, the Chinese, or some other adversary…” Rubio later added: “We cannot allow the stigma of UFOs to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters.”

• Former CIA Director John Brennan said to an audience at George Mason University: “I think it’s a bit presumptuous and arrogant for us to believe that there’s no other form of life anywhere in the entire universe… I think some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact, be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don’t yet understand, and that could involve some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life.”

• John Ratcliffe, a former director of national intelligence, recently said on Fox News: “There’s actually quite a few of those (UFOs). … [T]here are instances where we don’t have good explanations for some of the things that we have seen. When we talk about sightings, it’s not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection. Usually, we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things.”

• Former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, told CNN: “I don’t know why we haven’t been more transparent about (UFOs) in the past, and I’m part of that crime I guess… I didn’t insist on more transparency with respect to this issue.”

• Even former President Barack Obama has talked in specifics about UFOs. On the James Corden talk show Obama said: “But what is true… is that there’s footage and records of objects in the sky that we don’t know exactly what they are. We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern.”

• These comments from such high-level individuals indicates the very real possibility that we have been witnessing UFOs in action around our Earth for decades, and that for the first time it will be taken seriously and investigated properly by the world’s top scientists. And this in turn is likely to have profound implications for humanity. In the second part of my article, I will detail some of the most astonishing unexplained encounters.

 

The policy of denial and debunking evidence of encounters with ‘alien spacecraft’,

   the late great Stanton Friedman

that’s been in place since the 1950s, is crumbling. Even ex-US presidents and CIA directors admit there’s something out there we can’t explain.

It’s often said that when mankind acknowledges that ‘life’ in the universe has been confirmed and an intelligent civilization reaches out to us, that ‘contact’ will be the most profound moment in human history. So, almost everyone is in agreement as to the ramifications of such ‘contact’, but have we actually not had an ongoing engagement between humans and super-intelligent creatures from other planets for decades?

                       John Brennan

Today, on World UFO Day, as we approach the summer of 2021, the world is potentially on the brink of learning something that most people will be astonished and perhaps shocked by.

For more than 70 years, highly trained, credible people have found themselves involved in multiple witness reports and having an interaction with some kind of intelligence that is, literally, out of this world. These cases from all around the

                            Marco Rubio

world have been fully investigated and documented, yet have largely been ignored by governments, military and scientists and the academic world.

                        James Clapper

Why?

The explanation is simple and stark: governments across the planet, supported by the mainstream media, have poured scorn on and trivialised the subject of unidentified flying objects, or flying saucers, since the early 1950s.

As the late Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist and huge UFO proponent, used to

                       John Ratcliffe

say, “It can’t be, so it isn’t.”

                         Barack Obama

That phrase is particularly apt if we ask the question as to why the scientific and academic worlds have largely ignored the mass of corroborated testimony from military pilots, commercial pilots, astronauts, cosmonauts, radar operators, air traffic controllers, sonar operators, military personnel, and police officers etc.

In recent years, a new acronym has been created to replace the term ‘UFO’ – Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) – in the hope that science, academia, and the media would be more open to investigating the subject. However, such is the manufactured stigma attached to this topic that it is still deemed too ‘taboo’ for most.

Chinese Astronauts Conduct First Spacewalk at New Space Station

Article from Agence-France Presse                                             July 4, 2021                                                    (theguardian.com)

• In June, three Chinese astronauts blasted off to become the first crew of the new Tiangong space station in orbit around Earth, where they will remain for three months in China’s longest crewed mission to date. On July 4th, two of the astronauts conducted the first of two seven-hour spacewalks to work on assembling the Tiangong space station. Fueled in part by a U.S. ban on Chinese astronauts on the International Space Station, the construction of the Tiangong space station is a significant step in China’s ambitious space program.

• China previously landed a rover on Mars and sent probes to the Moon. This is China’s first crewed mission into space in nearly five years, and the first time since 2008 that Chinese astronauts have gone outside their spacecraft. China is the third country to complete a spacewalk after the Soviet Union and the US. This is a matter of huge prestige as the country marks the 100th anniversary of the ruling Communist party this month with a massive propaganda campaign.

• In this first spacewalk, astronauts Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo were tasked with elevating a panoramic camera outside the Tianhe core module and testing the station’s robotic arm which will be used to transfer future modules around the station. The astronauts also installed foot stops on the robotic arm and carried out other assembly work. The crew underwent more than 6,000 hours of training in preparation.

• In a video clip, Liu and Tang were shown opening a hatch and exiting the module separately, wearing newly developed suits. They were supported from inside the station by the mission commander, Nie Haisheng, a decorated air force pilot who is on his third space mission. The video clip showed Liu leaving the cabin, exclaiming: “Wow, it’s too beautiful out here.” The Chinese space agency is planning a total of eleven launches through to the end of next year, including three more crewed missions. They will deliver two more lab modules to expand the station, along with supplies.

• Chinese state television showed footage of the astronauts’ daily lives on Tiangong, including setting up an exercise bike and working out on a treadmill. One crew member was shown eating with chopsticks; another did a handstand and somersault after mealtime. The televised spacewalk garnered 200 million views on China’s social media platform Weibo. One user wrote: “How much I’m moved by each step of achievement is beyond words.”

• President Xi Jinping has said the construction of China’s first space station is opening “new horizons” in humanity’s attempts to explore the cosmos. The Tiangong space station is expected to have a lifespan of at least ten years, and China has said it would be open to international collaboration on the station. The U.S.-run International Space Station is due for retirement after 2024, although NASA says it could remain functional beyond 2028.

 

             Chinese astronauts or ‘taikonauts’

Chinese astronauts have performed the country’s first tandem spacewalk, working for seven hours on the outside of the new Tiangong station in orbit around Earth.

Tiangong’s construction is a significant step in China’s ambitious space programme. China has previously landed a rover on Mars and sent probes to the moon.

Last month, three astronauts blasted off to become the first crew of the station, where they will remain for three months in China’s longest crewed mission to date. On Sunday morning, two of them left the station for about seven hours of work in the first spacewalk at Tiangong, the China Manned Space Agency said.

“The safe return of astronauts Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo to the Tianhe core module marks the complete success of the first spacewalk in our country’s space station construction,” the agency said.

Their tasks included elevating a panoramic camera outside the Tianhe core module and testing the station’s robotic arm, which will be used to transfer future modules around the station, state media said. The astronauts installed foot stops on the robotic arm and, with its support, carried out other assembly work, the space agency added.

Liu and Tang were shown opening a hatch and exiting the module separately, wearing newly developed suits said to weigh 130kg (20st). They were supported from inside the station by the mission commander, Nie Haisheng, a decorated air force pilot who is on his third space mission.

This was the first of two spacewalks planned for the mission, both expected to last six or seven hours. It was the first time since 2008 that Chinese astronauts have gone outside their spacecraft. Back then, Zhai Zhigang made China the third country to complete a spacewalk after the Soviet Union and the US.

This is China’s first crewed mission in nearly five years, and a matter of huge prestige as the country marks the 100th anniversary of the ruling Communist party this month with a massive propaganda campaign. To prepare, the crew underwent more than 6,000 hours of training.

Rep. André Carson Calls for Public Hearing on UFOs

Article by Celine Castronuovo                                             July 4, 2021                                                                 (thehill.com)

• On July 4th, Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.) (pictured above), chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation, was on the CBS news show “Face the Nation”. The discussion turned to the newly released unclassified government report on UFOs which Carson admitted was largely “inconclusive” on the origins of more than 140 unidentified flying objects that the US military has observed since 2004. (see 5 minute video below)

• Carson called on Congress to hold hearings on reported UFOs. “My hope … is that we will have a series of hearings and possibly a public hearing in the very near future,” Carson said, though he did not give a specific timeline. “What we do know is that … there have been nearly 150 (UFO) sightings. Eighty of those sightings have been detected with some of the best technology the world has ever seen.”

• The UAP Task Force report noted that many UFO sightings have occurred near US military assets, our naval bases, our military installations. One of the possible explanations for the still unidentified UFOs could be advanced technologies developed by U.S. adversaries such as China or Russia. “We don’t want our adversaries to have … a technological advance over us in terms of what they can do with their capabilities,” Carson said, warranting concern and the need for further investigation. But Carson added that sightings around US military bases may result from a ‘collection bias’ due to “focused attention, greater numbers of latest-generation sensors operating in those areas, unit expectations, and guidance to report anomalies.”

• Finally, Carson admitted that government officials “can’t rule out something that’s otherworldly” in a small percentage of cases. It would be “arrogant to say that there isn’t life out there,” said the Congressman. “If it is otherworldly, we have to take into account our advancements in terms of our cellphone technology and why aren’t these images being captured? We have to think about the nearly 4,000 satellites that are orbiting the Earth right now. Most of those satellites have cameras attached to them. Why hasn’t any of that information been released?”

[Editor’s Note]  Congressman André Carson claims not to know why there isn’t more information available on UFOs or if they even exist. Two possible explanations why Carson seems to be so out of touch with reality might be: 1) Carson knows full-well about the long-standing extraterrestrial presence around our world and our government’s ongoing interaction with a number of different ET beings since at least WWII, but he has been told to play dumb so as not to cause a public panic; or 2) Carson really is ignorant of the most important reality in human history due to a lack of any intellectual curiosity whatsoever.

 

Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.), chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation, is calling on Congress to hold a “series of hearings” on reported UFOs following last month’s highly anticipated release of an intelligence report on the subject.

The congressman said in interview Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that because the newly unclassified report on UFOs, referred to by the Pentagon as “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), was largely “inconclusive” on the origins of more than 140 objects, additional probes are needed.

“My hope … is that we will have a series of hearings and possibly a public hearing in the very near future,” Carson said, though he did not give a specific timeline.

“What we do know is that … there have been nearly 150 sightings,” he added. “Eighty of those sightings have been detected with some of the best technology the world has ever seen.”

While Carson said officials “can’t rule out something that’s otherworldly,” he added that was possible in only a “very small percentage” of cases.

Last month’s highly anticipated UAP report said that nearly all of the 144 such encounters documented by the U.S. government since 2004 remained a mystery, though the Office of Naval Intelligence’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force was able to confirm that one of the objects was a “large, deflating balloon.”

One of the possible explanations included in the report was that the UAP could be advanced technologies developed by U.S. adversaries such as China or Russia, potentially posing a national security threat.

French Space Agency Studied 600 UFO Cases Over 64 Years

Article by Gautam Peddada                                            June 23, 2021                                                    (collective-evolution.com)

• While everyone is focused on the American version of the study, which will contain over 120 events, the French sub-agency that investigates UFOs, GEIPAN, has released a report that covers over 600 recorded incidents over a 64-year period, encompassing 56 nations. The paper concentrates on 290 of these incidents that had an impact on flight safety. North America (Canada and USA) had 298 instances, 108 instances were reported in Europe, and 33 instances occurred in French airspace.

• The distribution of the 600 cases by year reveals that 320 instances (53%) occurred between 1946 and 1960, with 275 cases (46%) concentrated between 1950 and 1957. The year with the most instances (83 cases) was 1952, followed by 1954 with 40 cases. The years 1952 in the United States and 1954 in Europe are regarded as the two peak years for UFO sightings.

• There is no discernible seasonal trend. July has the most instances (75) compared to the other months, and April has the fewest cases (29). The remaining 10 months had between 42 and 56 instances, which does not appear to be a substantial difference. Of 562 occurrences, 54% occurred at night and 46% occurred during the day.

• The UFO sightings recorded by military pilots are the most common during a 64-year period at 42%. Commercial pilots reported 39%, while private pilots recorded 18%. But from 1990 to 2010, commercial aircraft instances were the most frequent at 70%, military pilots reported 17%, and private pilots reported 13% of the instances. This is likely related to a shroud of military secrecy about UFOs. Of the instances reported by military aircraft, 75% happened during a 14-year period from 1946 for 1959. 24% of the cases were observed by two or more aircraft in flight, and two-thirds of the 600 cases were seen by two or more witnesses.

• Of the 278 cases where radar was employed, radar positively identified the UFO in 162 cases. In 115 cases, radar did not support an observer’s sighting. In 34 cases, the visual observation of a UFO was verified by both airborne and ground radar. In one case in 1995, the crew of a B-757 noticed a black cigar-shaped wingless object below their aircraft 15–20 miles away. On radar, it looked to be motionless, then surged in a burst of speed for 20 to 30 seconds before coming to a complete halt. It lingered for one and a half minutes before accelerating again in a burst of speed between 1000 and 1400 mph. This was done many times during a four-minute period, after which the target vanished.

• Pilots classify UFOs as either “light points” or “objects” which have a solid appearance. 74% of the UFO ‘objects’ reported were described as having a three-dimensional, solid aspect. The most commonly reported ‘objects’ are round or elliptical with a metallic appearance. But additional forms have been reported including two yellow objects shaped like hamburgers (1980); a giant triangle-shaped object (Chile 1978); an airliner fuselage without any wings or tail, with potholes lighted from inside (France 1985); an elliptical shape, flat below and slightly domed on the upper part (Sahara 1965); a large translucent metallic mushroom (Australia 1954).

• Interaction cases, where the UFO appears to react to the presence of an aircraft, were observed in half of the instances. These cases fall into three categories: (1) UFO conducts maneuvers to approach, chase, or escape from the aircraft; (2) dogfights with military aircraft; and (3) UFO circles or performs maneuvers near to the aircraft and may cause electromagnetic impacts on aviation systems. In 78 occasions, a UFO approached the plane on a collision path, and in 6 cases there was a near-collision with the aircraft. The pilot was required to take evasive action in 31 occasions to avoid colliding with the UFO, including three cases involving commercial aircraft in which passengers were wounded during the move.

• The most troublesome element of UFO contacts were situations in which permanent or transitory electromagnetic impacts occurred on aircraft systems – usually private craft – during flight. In 81 of the 600 cases, electromagnetic interference was seen and reported, and everything from radios to weaponry was impacted.

 

While everyone is focused on the American version of the study, which will contain over 120 events, GEIPAN has released a report that covers over 600 recorded incidents by pilots over a 64-year period. The paper concentrates on 290 of these incidents when the unidentified aerial device had (or may have had) an impact on flight safety.

While the study has received little attention, there are several data points that are essential in establishing or verifying particular aspects of the phenomena. It will be fascinating to see if the DNI’s report to Congress has comparable results, or if they will disclose these findings in the public realm.

1946 to 1960 was a period of the most UFO sightings

1952 & 1954 — The Peak Years

The distribution of the 600 cases by year reveals that 320 instances (53%) occurred over a 16-year period (from 1946 to 1960), with 275 cases (46%) occurring between 1950 and 1957. The year with the most instances (83 cases) was 1952, followed by 1954 with 40 cases. The years 1952 in the United States and 1954 in Europe are regarded as the two peak years for UAP sightings.

There is no discernible seasonal trend in the distribution of these 600 cases per month. July has the most instances (75) compared to the other months, and April has the fewest cases (29). The remaining 10 months had between 42 and 56 instances, which does not appear to be a substantial difference.

Witnesses failed to indicate the time of day in 38 cases (6 percent). Out of the remaining 562 occurrences, 305 (54%) occurred at night and 257 (46%) occurred during the day.

A Global Phenomenon

The 600 instances are almost universally dispersed. They are positioned over continental zones (564 in total), encompassing 56 nations, as well as above marine zones (36 cases). The American continent (North, Central, and South America) had 376 cases (58 percent), with North America having 298 instances (Canada and USA). 108 instances have been reported above Europe, with 33 of them occurring in French airspace.
