Ufologists Predict When Aliens Will Return to Earth

December 9, 2018                     (sputniknews.com)

• At the 2018 UFO Summit conference in Brazil, ‘ancient astronauts’ proponents Erich von Daniken and Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, revealed when they think when extraterrestrial beings will return to Earth. According to Tsoukalos, the ETs are waiting for humans need to achieve something first.

• “In my opinion, it is that we, as a society, we need to become more friendly with each other. We really need to start looking at ourselves and say, you know, we are all brothers and sisters on this planet, we really are. And it is up to us to clean up our house, here on Earth. And I think then, after we cleaned up our mess, that’s when they will make contact,” Tsoukalos said.

• Von Daniken the ETs who visited the Earth in the past promised to “return in the far future, and probably they are back already.” “Now, what can we learn from that? We have to learn to become humble. We are not unique. We are not the crown of creation, neither the top of evolution. We are just one of the millions of species in outer space. They will come back. They will teach us again,” von Daniken remarked.

• With the numerous UFO sightings, von Daniken suggest that “somebody is around this planet and obviously is observing us, maybe studying our languages, our microbacterias, our weapons, our religious systems, our political systems.” “They are watching us.”

 

During their appearance at the UFO Summit 2018 conference in Brazil, Erich von Daniken and Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, two prominent ufologists and proponents of the ‘ancient astronauts’ theory which postulates that aliens visited Earth in the distant past and interacted with ancient humans, explained to Sputnik when these extraterrestrial entities might return.

According to Tsoukalos, the aliens didn’t attempt to make an official contact with mankind is that humans need to achieve something first.

“In my opinion, it is that we, as a society, we need to become more friendly with each other. We really need to start looking at ourselves and say, you know, we are all brothers and sisters on this planet, we really are. And it is up to us to clean up our house, here on Earth. And I think then, after we cleaned up our mess, that’s when they will make contact,” Tsoukalos said.

His sentiment was echoed by von Daniken who claimed that extraterrestrials who allegedly visited our planet in the past promised to “return in the far future, and probably they are back already.”

“Now, what can we learn from that? We have to learn to become humble. We are not unique. We are not the crown of creation, neither the top of evolution. We are just one of the millions of species in outer space. They will come back. They will teach us again,” he remarked.

Von Daniken also added that numerous suspected UFO sightings suggest that “somebody is around this planet and obviously is observing us, maybe studying our languages, our microbacterias, our weapons, our religious systems, our political systems.”
“They are watching us,” he surmised.

US Government Targeting Lazar For Exposing Secrets About Alien UFO and Area 51

by Nirmal Narayanan                    December 6, 2018                   (ibtimes.co.in)

• In 1989, Bob Lazar (pictured above) put the secretive Area 51 government base in Nevada on the map when he told a Las Vegas TV station that nine alien spacecraft were being tested and analyzed there. Lazar emerged as a hero among conspiracy theorists who believe in the existence of extraterrestrials.

• Now in a new documentary titled “Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers”, he claims that he is being shadowed and targeted by government authorities for exposing the truth regarding aliens and UFOs. “At the risk of sounding paranoid, I always believe that someone is monitoring me,” says Lazar.

• Lazar made it clear that a reverse engineered spacecraft developed by the US Air Force is something beyond human technology, and even hinted at alien presence behind these developments.

 

Area 51, the secretive United States Air Force base initially became a debating point among conspiracy theorists when a man named Bob Lazar told a Las Vegas TV station that nine alien spacecraft were being tested and analyzed by experts, way back in 1989. Even though Lazar made these remarks under a pseudonym “Dennis, his identity was soon disclosed, and shortly thereafter he emerged as a hero among conspiracy theorists who believe in the existence of extraterrestrials.

Now in a new documentary titled “Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers”, he claims that he is being shadowed and targeted by government authorities for exposing the truth regarding aliens and UFOs. The alien hunter argued that he is being spied on by the government even though maintains a low profile.

“At the risk of sounding paranoid, I always believe that someone is monitoring me. It is something that is quite difficult to get out of my mind. The recent FBI raids which is not filmed pretty much cements it in my mind,” said Bob Lazar.

Lazar also added that the comments he made in 1989 negatively impacted his life and made it clear that he will never repeat it.

Bob Lazar at the time claimed to have seen nine flying saucers secretly developed by the US Air Force in Area 51. He also made it clear that a reverse engineered spacecraft developed by the US Air Force is something beyond human technology. He even hinted at alien presence behind these developments.

Five (Recent) Signs That Alien Life Exists in Universe

by Nirmal Narayanan                 December 6, 2018                      (ibtimes.co.in)

Five clear signs which indicate the presence of extraterrestrial existence:

• NASA Admission – A study report recently submitted by Silvano P. Colombano, a top scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Centre has suggested that advanced alien life forms might have already visited the Earth, but went unnoticed.

• Fast Radio Bursts – Bright pulses of radio emissions that last just milliseconds can be detected by powerful instruments located on the Earth. In September, an observatory in Australia detected 20 mysterious signals from deep space, with 19 of them coming from a new source. These fast radio bursts could be sent by advanced alien civilizations to proclaim their existence.

• UFO Activity – YouTube is loaded with a lot of UFO videos. Most of them show triangular craft hovering in the skies. Even the Pentagon has released military videos of UFOs, although neither NASA nor the government have bothered to acknowledge or explain what we are looking at.

• Lake on Mars – In July, NASA discovered a 12 miles wide lake underneath a glacier on Mars providing a habitat for aliens.

• Oumuamua “Asteroid” – Harvard astronomer Abraham Loeb had recently suggested that interstellar asteroid Oumuamua could actually be an alien spaceship due to the unexpected acceleration gained by the object during its course. Loeb also indicated that there might be many alien artifacts lurking within our solar system.

 

The existence of alien life is still the most perplexing question addressed by space experts all across the world. Even though scientists have speculated the existence of alien life somewhere in the depths of deep space, neither the NASA nor the ESA has succeeded in obtaining a concrete proof which substantiates the existence of extraterrestrial beings.

However, there are some visible proofs which raise speculations of possible alien life, sometimes, within our solar system. International Business Times, India presents you with five clear signs which indicate the presence of extraterrestrial existence.

NASA expert admits the existence of alien life

A few days back, a study report submitted by Silvano P Colombano, a top scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Centre has suggested that alien life forms might have already visited the earth.

As per Colombano, aliens from deep space might not necessarily use traditional building blocks of life which is carbon, and this might be the reason why these extraterrestrials went unnoticed in human probes. The NASA scientist also added that the alien beings that visited the earth might be more advanced than humans, and suggested that they could do interstellar space travel.

Mysterious Fast Radio Bursts

Mysterious Fast Radio Bursts (FRB) is another crucial sign that aliens might be living somewhere in the universe. Even though most of the FRBs last just milliseconds, their bright pulses of radio emissions can be detected by powerful instruments located on the earth.

Interestingly, in September, an observatory in Australia named Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) successfully detected 20 mysterious signals from deep space. Shockingly, out of the 20 radio bursts, 19 came from an entirely new source.

Some space scientists believe that these fast radio bursts are being sent by advanced alien civilizations to proclaim their existence.

Increased UFO sightings

In December 2017, the Pentagon admitted that they have conducted an investigation program named AATIP (Advanced Areal Threat Identification Program) to unveil the mysteries surrounding unidentified flying objects (UFO). The US agency also released a video of a UFO that performs several manoeuvres in the air, as if it defies all the laws of modern physics.

Apart from this video, YouTube is loaded with a lot of UFO videos, most of them that shows triangular flying objects hovering in the skies. Even though most of these clips have gone viral, neither the NASA nor the United States government has bothered to share their views about these sightings.

CIA Document Shows What Happened After the KGB Shot Down a UFO

by Arjun Walia              November 26, 2018              (collective-evolution.com)

  • In the CIA’s FOIA Electronic Reading Room archives, a document states that “U.S. intelligence obtained a 250-page file on the attack by a UFO on a military unit in Siberia”. The file contains not only many documentary photographs and drawings, but also testimonies by actual participants in the events. In the CIA file, one of the CIA representatives refers to this case as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures – a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.”                                                                                                                                                                                                         
  • According to the KGB materials, a low-flying saucer-shaped spaceship appeared above a Soviet military unit that was conducting routine training maneuvers in Siberia. For unknown reasons, somebody unexpectedly launched a surface-to-air missile and hit the UFO. It fell to Earth not far away, and five short humanoids with“large heads and large black eyes” emerged from it.  The five humanoid creatures then “merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape”.That object began to buzz and hiss sharply, and then became a brilliant white. Soon the spheres grew much bigger and exploded by flaring up with an extremely bright light. At that very instant, 23 soldiers who had watched the phenomenon turned into stone poles. Only two soldiers who stood in the shade and were less exposed to the luminous explosion survived to tell the tale.                                                      
  • The remains of the UFO and the “petrified soldiers” were transferred to a secret scientific research institution near Moscow. Specialists assume that a source of energy that is still unknown to Earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers’ living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular composition is no different from that of limestone.                                                                                                               
  • The document ends with a comment from a CIA representative, who said,  “If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions.They can stand up for themselves if attacked.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Global governments and intelligence agencies around the world have released hundreds of thousands of pages of documents pertaining to the UFO phenomenon over the past few years. These files indicate that objects are commonly tracked on radar and pursued by our own military craft, which are then sent out to take a closer look. The files also reveal there have been sightings of strange objects travelling at tremendous speeds and performing maneuvers that no known aircraft is capable of performing.

These types of UFOs might now be officially verified within the mainstream, but they’ve been seen, photographed, and recorded by credible witnesses for decades. For example, a document(straight from the CIA’s FOIA Electronic Reading Room) pertains to “a group of red, green, and yellow flying saucers” that were seen “hovering” over multiple military bases in Antarctica. Another details how, when interceptors approached the object,pilots lost “all instrumentation and communications.” 

These objects are thought to be extraterrestrial in origin,not only because of their technological superiority, but also because many high-ranking political and military insiders, along with prestigious academics,have shared information they’ve been privy to regarding actual intelligent extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet. There could be several different groups doing so at the present moment. It may sound far-fetched,but as we move through 2017 and beyond, bits of truth will continue to leak out, and the “official campaign of secrecy and ridicule” that Roscoe Hillenkoetter described to the New York Times in 1960 may come to an end.

That being said, once this box is opened, everything will change. It will have tremendous implications for humanity — philosophically, scientifically, and technologically. Our world would change forever.

The Document

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that the CIA  and other U.S.intelligence agencies were keeping tabs on other countries. We know spying happens all the time, and other governments probably did the same to North American governments as well.

The UFO issue has obviously been of extreme interest to these agencies, given the scale of resources put toward investigating it. One document within the CIA archives also shows that they were interested in reports of actual extraterrestrial bodies.

For example, here is one that was addressed to “certain scientists of distinction,” to “aeronautical and military authorities,” and to “a number of public officials.” The document, stored in the FBI database, shows interest in a letter written by someone with “several university degrees”  and a former“university department head.” It provides information about extraterrestrial beings, their craft, how they operate,and where they come from.

Again,the question to ask here is, why were intelligence agencies so interested in this? They continue to investigate any reports of extraterrestrial bodies, and I have to wonder if it’s because they’ve had secrets of their own. Is it because, as Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell once put it so bluntly,“there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered”?

China to Launch Lander to Dark Side of the Moon

by Sean Martin                   December 7, 2018                    (express.co.uk)                                         

  • On December 7th, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) launched a Moon lander, dubbed Chang’e-4, as the first ever probe to land on the dark side (back) of the Moon. Chang’e-4 will provide information about the side of the Moon that we never see, including the surface temperature and the chemical make-up of the soil. Chang’e-4 is also bringing a big container with seeds and insect eggs to hatch on the Moon itself.                                                                                      
  • The probe is scheduled to land on the Moon in early 2019.  While the Chinese space center is tight-lipped about the mission, it is speculated that the Chang’e-4 probe will land at the Von Karaman crater which is 180 kilometers in diameter, near the Moon’s south pole.                                                                                                                                                              
  • Because of its position, the Moon would block out any communication signals sent back to Earth.  So earlier this year the Chinese placed a satellite in orbit behind the Moon to act as a relay point for the probe to communicate with ground control.                                                                                                                                                                                                
  • Dr Carolyn van der Bogert, a planetary geologist at Westfälische Wilhelms Universityin Münster, Germany, said, “This mission is definitely a significant and important accomplishment in lunar exploration.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
  • NASA’s Solar System Exploration Research team said, “The lunar far side — that mysterious face of the Moon hidden from Earth – contains a cache of clues about how the Earth formed, how planets evolved, and how volcanic and impact cratering processes reshaped the Solar System.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
  • [Editor’s Note]  They say that the back of the Moon is a bee hive of activity with numerous bases.  According to Corey Goode, the Lunar Operations Command base is behind the Moon at the ten o-clock position.  From what we know, however,there is far less activity in the southern hemisphere of the back side of the Moon than in the northern hemisphere. Have the Chinese intentionally chosen a spot on the back of the Moon that is far removed from any bases, making this more of a public relations stunt than a true exploration?  It is more likely that the Chinese are well aware of the Moon bases on the dark side, and in reality this is an intelligence gathering mission which the Chinese will keep secret from the public anyway.

The east Asian nation has been typically secretive about the mission, keeping a lot of information under wraps. However, with the launch date of the lander scheduled today, December 7, at 6.30 PM GMT, China has been forced into releasing some information about the spaceship. The mission has been dubbed Chang’e-4 and will be the first ever probe to land on the dark side of the moon.

Chang’e-4 will provide a heap of information about the part of the moon which is never seen by Earth, including surface temperature, chemical make up of the soil and an amazing view into deep space, but what is being carried with the lander is the most peculiar.

China’s ship will take with it big container that includes seeds and insect eggs which will essentially create the first known extraterrestrials – a life-form which is born on another celestial body.

Communication would be difficult for Chang’e-4 as the moon will block out any signals sent to Earth.

This is why the lander is being accompanied by the Queqiao satellite which was sent earlier this year

Queqiao will act as a relay point between the dark side of the moon and Earth so ground control can remain in contact with the probe.

The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has kept a lot of information quiet, but it has garnered a lot of attention worldwide.

Dr Carolyn van der Bogert, a planetary geologist at Westfälische Wilhelms University in Münster, Germany, said: “This mission is definitely a significant and important accomplishment in lunar exploration.”

Artifact From An Ancient Civilization? The Truth is Out There – in Seattle

by Erik Lacitis                   December 1, 2018                     (seattletimes.com)

• In 1961, a 2×3-inch rock was found in a mountain range near Olancha, California. When split open, a perfectly circular, porcelain-like section containing a tiny pin that responded to a magnet was found inside. An X-ray clearly showed the metal pin with a spring or helix at one end. The other half of the object showed metal covering the porcelain-like cylinder.

• The relic, known as the “Coso Artifact”, is part of a display entitled “What is Reality” at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington.

• In Erich von Daniken’s latest book, “Impossible Truths: Amazing Evidence of Extraterrestrial Contact”, he writes of the Coso Artifact, “The existence of the pin in an object that is at least 500,000 years old provides evidence of significant knowledge of metallurgy at that time.”

• Enter Pierre Stromberg, a software manager who has spent hundreds of hours researching the Coso Artifact. As a kid, Stromberg read von Daniken’s “Chariots of the Gods?”, which theorizes extraterrestrials influenced early human life. But he lost respect for von Daniken due to his impression that von Daniken would ‘obfuscate’ his assertions. “[S]ome ancient astronaut proponents were not just wrong, they were willfully dishonest,” says Stromberg.

• In 1999, Stromberg contacted the Spark Plug Collectors of America. Club member Chad Windham remembers looking at the X-ray of the Coso Artifact and identified it as a spark plug – a Champion-brand spark plug, in fact – and not half-million year-old extraterrestrial relic. Stromberg thinks that the spark plug may have come from mining equipment.

• Well then, how did a spark plug end up inside a rock? Geologists call it a concretion, when sediment builds up in successive layers around something like a shell or pebble. That’s good enough for Stromberg.

 

For 57 years, since its discovery by three rockhounds in the mountains of Eastern California, an oblong, 2- by 3-inch stonelike mass has been at the heart of speculation around the world.

Oh, how we want to believe that the truth is out there.

Was it a rock embedded 500,000 years ago with an electronic device left on earth by alien visitors? Or was it the remnant of a long-gone advanced civilization?

Beginning Saturday, you can see it for yourself at the Pacific Science Center.

Why all the speculation?

When the rocklike object was sliced in half shortly after its discovery, a perfectly circular, porcelain-like section was found inside it. In the center of that section was a tiny pin that responded to a magnet.

An X-ray clearly showed the metal pin, with a spring or helix at one end. The other half of the object showed metal covering the porcelain-like cylinder.

How could this technology end up inside such a primeval mass?

It became known as the “Coso Artifact,” after the California mountain range in which it was found.
Like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, the Coso Artifact became the subject of widespread conjecture and speculation. The advent of the internet put that speculation into hyperdrive.

The Coso Artifact is featured in a YouTube video titled “Top 5 Artifacts That PROVE Past Advanced Civilizations Existed,” which has gotten 2.8 million views.

                       Pierre Stromberg

Enter Pierre Stromberg, a Woodinville software manager, who has spent hundreds of hours researching the artifact. It’s because of his work that the artifact is at the Pacific Science Center as part of a display space titled “What is Reality,” which also includes a walk-through virtual-reality adventure.

The Science Center says the purpose is “to confront a broad variety of mind-bending topics” alongside “scientists and innovators who are shaping the future.”

Stromberg, 54, a 1986 graduate in computer science from Manhattan College in the Bronx, where he grew up, says that as a kid he read Erich von Daniken’s “Chariots of the Gods?”, which theorizes extraterrestrials influenced early human life. Pretty neat stuff, he thought back then.

Stromberg says that in 1977, when he was 13, he lost his admiration for von Daniken after watching a TV interview with the author.

“I was stunned how von Daniken continued to obfuscate and maintain his assertions. I realized that some ancient astronaut proponents were not just wrong, they were willfully dishonest,” says Stromberg. “It really bothered me that I had let myself be influenced by them.”

Close-Up Footage of ‘Superdome’ Alien Base Hidden in a Lunar Crater

by Gerard du Cann                 November 29, 2018               (thesun.ie)

• A ‘Thirdphaseoftmoon’ YouTube channel contributor sent in a photo of a “Superdome”-sized structure hidden in a crater on the Moon taken with a DSLR camera mounted on a powerful telescopic lens. (The Superdome is a 10-acre domed stadium in New Orleans.) It might even be the top of a subterranean base.

• The video’s presenter says: “This is where full disclosure will break what’s going down via the big cover up. The secret space program is real and here’s the photographic evidence.” It appears that the dome is being held up by a platform or substation, perhaps an extraterrestrial structure.

• A YouTube commenter also posted two of his own images of the same structure which he previously posted on his Instagram in August 2016. He says: “Please feel to have a look. They’re not as good as this picture, but more sources are better than one.  And with the date I captured it, it validates this isn’t a hoax.”

 

UFO hunters claim to have spotted a “Superdome” sized structure hidden in a crater on the Moon.

The images, which were hosted on popular UFO-hunting YouTube channel Thirdphaseoftmoon, were reportedly taken with a modern DSLR camera mounted on a powerful telescopic lens.

NASA has not commented on the video or its claims.

The channel’s host said the footage was emailed into the channel, and appeared to show a domed structure reflecting sunlight.

The presenter says: “This is where full disclosure will break what’s going down via the big cover up. The secret space programme is real and here’s the photographic evidence.

The presenters say it appears the dome is being held up by a platform or substation, with the dome itself having a distinctly orange hue.

The channel goes on to theorise the dome could be an extraterrestrial structure – which the pair estimate to be roughly the size of the Superdome.

Other theories include that there may be a subterranean base, and the dome is only the surface entrance.

Structures Like Machu Picchu Are Works of Aliens, Suggests Ancient Technology Expert

by Nirmal Narayanan               December 3, 2018              (ibtimes.co.in)

• Ancient technology expert Brien Foerster has suggested that structures like Machu Picchu (pictured above) could be actually the works of aliens who visited the earth from deep space. Foerster makes it clear that the native Incas of South America could not build such gigantic structures. “The only options I think we gave are either the Atlanteans or extraterrestrials.” (see Foerster’s full interview in the 21:34 minute video below)

• “The Incas could not have built the megalithic structures because they were bronze aged people and the stone that was cut and shaped was much harder than bronze. Things are very clear and the basic principle of cutting is simple; the tool you are using should be harder than the material you are cutting,” said Foerster.

• One YouTube commenter subscribes to the theory that the earth has seen five advanced civilizations come and go, and suggests that one of these may have built these structures.

 

Brien Foerster, an ancient technology expert who authored the book ‘Lost Ancient Technology Of Peru And Bolivia’ has suggested that structures like Machu Picchu could be actually the works of aliens who visited the earth from deep space.

Foerster made it clear that human beings who lived in this area known as Incas could not build such gigantic structures as the stones that were cut and shaped for construction were much harder than bronze.

                          Brien Foerster

Foerster made these remarks while talking to the conspiracy theory YouTube channel ‘Third Phase of Moon’.

“The Incas could not have built the megalithic structures because they were bronze aged people and the stone that was cut and shaped was much harder than bronze. Things are very clear and the basic principle of cutting is simple; the tool you are using should be harder than the material you are cutting,” said Foerster.

Foerster also added that these kinds of megalithic structures could be only built by advanced civilizations.

“The only options I think we gave are either the Atlanteans or extraterrestrials. Either the Atlanteans were destroyed by ancient catastrophic events or sometimes, extraterrestrial aliens might be here at that time and they contracted these megalithic structures in Peru, and Bolivia, ” suggested Brien Foerster.

NASA Scientist Admits There May Be Some UFO Sightings That Cannot Be ‘Explained or Denied’

by Jasper Hamill                 December 3, 2018                   (metro.co.uk)

• Silvano P. Colombano, of NASA’s Ames Research Center, says that some UFO sightings deserve to be taken seriously rather than dismissed out of hand. Colombano also insists that our species needs to be more ‘aggressive’ in its search for extraterrestrial intelligence and try to think about how alien technology might develop over millions of years.

• Colombano suggests that scanning deep space for radio waves could be a waste, as ET technology would be far different than our own. Instead, scientists should broaden their investigation into alien life by considering how technology might evolve over millions of years and what sort of society extraterrestrials would form.

• Colombano says that humanity needs to abandon its preconceptions of extraterrestrial beings as little green men. What if ET is actually a civilization of tiny hyper-intelligent robots, for instance? ‘If we adopt a new set of assumptions about what forms of higher intelligence and technology we might find… we could start some serious inquiry,’ Colombano writes.

• Colombano admits that his fellow NASA researchers will often avoid studying UFOs simply because they believe interstellar travel is impossible, and therefore most UFO sightings are ‘hoaxes, mistaken perceptions or even psychotic events’.

• Colombano is still not prepared to say that we have already been visited by extraterrestrials. But he’ll accede that there may be “signals” to indicate that some UFOs cannot be explained or denied. Colombano thinks that humanity simply may not be able to grasp the truth about extraterrestrial civilizations at our relatively primitive stage of technological development.

• “[W]e are quickly becoming symbiotic with computer power,” says Colombano. “Our form of… intelligence may just be a tiny first step in a continuing evolution that may well produce forms of intelligence that are far superior to ours and no longer based on carbon ‘machinery’”.

• [Editor’s Note]  There are numerous secret space programs in existence. The US Air Force, the US Navy, even NASA itself all have a secret space program that is kept hidden from the public. All of these secret space programs have been interacting with many types of extraterrestrial beings for decades. In the interests of continuing with their subterfuge, NASA has chosen a spokesman who is also unaware of what is really going on, or at least he pretends to be.

 

In a piece of research produced earlier this year, S. P. Colombano from the Nasa Ames Research Center called for an investigation into UFOs and said that some of the sightings could deserve to be taken seriously rather than dismissed out of hand.

He insisted that our species needed to be more ‘aggressive’ in its search for extraterrestrial intelligence and try to think about how alien technology might develop over millions of years.

‘In the very large amount of “noise” in UFO reporting there may be “signals” however small, that indicate some phenomena that cannot be explained or denied,’ the scientist wrote.

Although Colombano stressed that ‘we have not been, and are not being visited’ by aliens, he went on to say that we simply may not be able to grasp the truth about extraterrestrial civilisations at our relatively primitive stage of technological development.

He said that humanity needs to abandon its preconceptions about the nature of extraterrestrial beings – which may not be little green men but tiny, hyper-intelligent robots.

Colombano also claimed fellow researchers often avoid studying UFOs because they believe interstellar travel is impossible and fear most sightings are driven by ‘hoaxes, mistaken perceptions or even psychotic events’.

‘If we adopt a new set of assumptions about what forms of higher intelligence and technology we might find, some of those phenomena might fit specific hypotheses, and we could start some serious enquiry,’ he wrote.

‘The intelligence we might find and that might choose to find us (if it hasn’t already) might not be at all be produced by carbon-based organisms like us,’ he continued.

‘How might that change the above assumptions about interstellar travel?

‘Our typical life-spans would no longer be a limitation (although even these could be dealt with multi-generational missions or suspended animation), and the size of the “explorer” might be that of an extremely tiny super-intelligent entity.’

The Nasa researcher added: ‘Our form of life and intelligence, may just be a tiny first step in a continuing evolution that may well produce forms of intelligence that are far superior to ours and no longer based on carbon “machinery”.

A Passenger Plane Filmed Huge UFO Over New York

by magictr                         November 29, 2018                          (sivpost.com)

• On November 23, 2018, a passenger in a commercial plane video recorded an orange glowing UFO over the state of New York. A copy of the recording was provided to MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network).  (see 2:02 minute video below)

 

The staff of Mufon has received the materials sent to witness events from the United States. The passenger of the plane captured on camera the flight of UFOs over New York, and was scared impressive dimensions of the object.

The author of the story published the video online, noting that for the first time faced with such a spectacle. Unusual alien spacecraft had the shape of a flying saucer, and was not going to hide from the eyes of people watching his maneuvers in the sky.

While researchers check information to find out the intentions of extraterrestrial visitors. The early inhabitants of the city were also afraid of the appearance UFO, which resembled a huge metal butterfly.

Then Aliens, Now Star Cave Paintings: Were Ancient Humans Aware of Universe’s Dark Secrets?

by Nirmal Narayanan                       November 28, 2018                       (ibtimes.co.in)

• We already know about the rock paintings discovered in Charama, India depicting aliens and UFOs. Now, researchers at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland have discovered 40,000 year-old cave paintings at various sites across Europe that indicate ancient human’s use of star constellations to keep track of time, and how star positions have changed over thousands of years.

• The astronomical charts may have also been used to represent particular dates and mark catastrophic events like asteroid hits. Apparently, ancient people were well aware of the effects of the earth’s gradual shift of rotational axis.

• “Early cave art shows that people had advanced knowledge of the night sky within the last ice age. Intellectually, they were hardly any different to us today. These findings support a theory of multiple comet impacts over the course of human development, and will probably revolutionize how prehistoric populations are seen,” said Martin Sweatman, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh and the lead author of the study.

• Have extraterrestrial aliens visiting the earth for thousands of years been teaching ancient humans about astronomy and space? The depiction of these ET beings on Indian cave walls is a strong sign of their influence. Did ancient humans worship these ‘Starmen’ as Gods?

 

A few years back, archeologists discovered pre-historic paintings dated back to 10,000 years that depicted aliens and unidentified flying objects (UFO). These rock paintings discovered in Charama, India soon became a hot topic among extraterrestrial buffs, and many people considered it an authentic proof of alien existence.

Humans knew what was happening in space

Now, a team of researchers at the University of Edinburgh has spotted another set of ancient cave paintings which made many experts believe that early humans were aware of astronomy. The cave paintings supposedly more than 40,000 years old were discovered at various sites across Europe, and they suggest that ancient humans used to keep track of time using the knowledge of how the position of the stars slowly changes over thousands of years.

Researchers who took part in this study revealed that symbols depicted in the caves are actually constellations, and they were used to represent dates and mark catastrophic events like asteroid hits. If the speculations of these researchers are right, ancient people were well aware of the effects which happen on earth due to its gradual shift of rotational axis.

CIA Files Reveal Shocking Fate Faced by KGB Soldiers on Encountering UFO

by Nirmal Narayanan                November 28, 2018              (ibtimes.co.in)

• Declassified CIA files have revealed the fate of a group of Soviet-era KGB soldiers when they encountered a UFO during the peak of the cold war. While stationed at a military base in Antarctic, Soviet KGB soldiers witnessed a grouping of red, green and yellow UFOs hovering over the base. Later, a low-flying saucer-shaped spaceship appeared over the Soviet military base. Somebody impulsively shot down saucer with a surface-to-air missile.

• The Saucer-shaped UFO fell to Earth and five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes emerged from it. The five humanoid creatures came close together and then merged into a single spherical shaped object. That object began to buzz and hiss sharply and then became a brilliant white. In a few seconds, the sphere grew bigger and flared up with an extremely bright light. At that very instant, 23 soldiers who were watching the phenomenon turned into limestone. Two of the soldiers escaped the attack. The stone soldiers were taken to a secret Soviet military base.

• Conspiracy theorists argue that this incident is proof of alien existence, and that the aliens’ advanced weaponry is able to transform the material composition of living beings.

• In the declassified documents, former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev himself revealed that UFOs do exist, and that a thorough investigation is needed to unravel the mysteries surrounding these flying objects.

 

KGB was once the most powerful security agencies in the world, and they played a crucial role in turning the Soviet Union into an unquestionable world power until its break up in 1991. Now, a set of declassified CIA files has revealed the shocking fate faced by a bunch of KGB soldiers when they encountered a UFO during the peak time of cold war.

It should be noted that these documents which were actually dissolved by USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991 were later obtained by the CIA, and it has unveiled a scenario where science fiction came to real life. In the documents, Gorbachev himself reveals that UFOs do exist, and thorough investigation is needed to unravel the mysteries surrounding these flying objects.

The development first began when a group of red, green and yellow flying objects was seen hovering above military bases in Antarctica. Later, a team of KGB soldiers spotted a flying saucer, and they shot it down.

“According to the KGB materials, a quite low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer appeared above a military unit that was conducting routine training maneuvers. For unknown reasons, somebody unexpectedly launched a surface-to-air missile and hit the UFO. It fell to Earth not far away, and five short humanoids with ‘large heads and large black eyes’ emerged from it,” the declassified document says, Dailystar reports.

As the UFO crash landed, five creatures, possibly aliens with large heads and big eyes came out and launched an attack on the soldiers. During the attack, aliens used highly advanced weapons, and they soon turned these soldiers to stone poles.

Professor to Offer Course on UFOs at Duke University

November 27, 2018                     (digitaljournal.com)

• David J. Halperin, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will teach a course early next year on “UFOs – Encounter, Mystery, Myth.” The course will be offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Duke University.

• As a professor of Judaic studies at UNC, Halperin’s specialty has been religious traditions of heavenly ascensions and otherworldly journeys. He has authored five books on Jewish mysticism and two on UFOs, both fiction and non-fiction. He claims that “UFOs are a myth,” emerging from the depths of our unconscious and bearing vital messages. “And myths are real,” says Halperin.

• The OLLI course will study the UFO landing at Westall High School in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1966, the myth of the “Men in Black”, the experience of alien abduction, and the enigma of what happened near Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947. The concluding session will analyze the new respectability that UFOs have attained since the 2016 election, and what it means.

• [Editor’s Note]  The good news is that this could be a crack in the academic world’s refusal to treat UFOs and the extraterrestrial presence seriously, particularly at the university level. The bad news is that a religious devotee is teaching it from a theological point of view. Will this professor’s students walk away from the course believing that UFO’s are some sort of figment of the imagination in order to validate a narrow religious perspective? Or will it cast aside preconceived religious paradigms and view the extraterrestrial influence on earth as a reality with serious consequences to our civilization if we don’t wake up, accept the truth, and utilize our mass consciousness to protect our sovereignty as a species before it’s too late?

 

DURHAM, N.C. — David J. Halperin, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will teach a course early next year on “UFOs – Encounter, Mystery, Myth.” The course will be offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Duke University and will run from January 7 to March 25, 2019. All interested persons are welcome.

“UFOs are a myth,” says Halperin, “and myths are real.” Like collective dreams, they emerge from the depths of our unconscious, bearing vital messages for us. The question to ask of them is not “Where do UFOs come from?” or “How do they fly?” but “What do they mean?”—for us as individuals, as a culture, as a species.

        David J. Halperin

Halperin was a teenage “UFOlogist” back in the 1960s. He received his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1977, and from 1976 until his retirement in 2000 he taught Judaic studies in UNC’s Department of Religious Studies. His area of special interest has been religious traditions of heavenly ascensions and otherworldly journeys. He’s the author of five books on Jewish mysticism and messianism and a novel, Journal of a UFO Investigator, published in 2011 by Viking Press and translated into Spanish, Italian, and German. His non-fiction book Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO will be published in 2020 by Stanford University Press.

The OLLI course will begin with a case study: the supposed UFO landing at Westall High School in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1966. It will explore the myth of the “Men in Black,” the experience of alien abduction, and the enigma of what happened near Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947. The concluding session will pause to notice the remarkable new respectability UFOs have attained since the 2016 election, and ask once more: what does it mean?

Documentary BOB LAZAR: AREA 51 & FLYING SAUCERS Promises the Truth is Out There

by Josh Millican                  November 20, 2018                      (dreadcentral.com)

• In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed that he had reverse-engineered an alien spacecraft at a secret government facility near Groom Lake, a vast swath of desert in Nevada. Since then, Area 51 has become synonymous with everything from alien autopsies and interdimensional time travel while Lazar, for the most part, went into hiding.

• Now, Lazar tells all in a new documentary from multimedia artist Jeremy Corbell, called “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers”, which will be released (December 3rd) on various VOD platforms this December. The documentary is a compelling window into the life of the legendary whistleblower, one who may have exposed some of the biggest secrets our government has ever attempted to hide. (see 1:37 minute trailer below)

 

We want to believe.

                                Bob Lazar

UFO fanatics and conspiracy theorists are quite familiar with the name Bob Lazar. He essentially put Area 51 on the map when, in 1989, he claimed to have proof that he had reverse-engineered an alien spacecraft at a secret government facility near Groom Lake, a vast swath of desert in Nevada. Since then, Area 51 has become synonymous with everything from alien autopsies and interdimensional time travel while Lazar, for the most part, went into hiding.

 Jeremy Kenyon        Lockyer Corbell

Now, 30 years after making claims regarding reverse-engineering (not to mention having viewed documents confirming humans and extraterrestrials have been communicating for millennia), Lazar is ready to tell all in a new documentary from multimedia artist Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell. Look for Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers to arrive on various VOD platforms this December.

 

Lazar has been called an American hero by some and a liar and a fraud by others. Whether you even have a personal opinion at all, the documentary promises to be a compelling window into the life of a legendary whistleblower, one who may have exposed some of the biggest secrets our government every attempted to keep hidden.

New Investigation Shows Disputed MJ-12 Document Exposing Extraterrestrial Contact is Authentic

In the newly released December edition of the MUFON Journal, the first detailed analysis of a leaked 47 page Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) document is published, offering the startling conclusion that it is authentic. The DIA document provides a broad overview of the official history of extraterrestrial contact with Earth, and credits the beginning of the modern UFO era with the Colorado Springs radio transmissions of Nikola Tesla, which led to extraterrestrials sending interstellar craft to investigate. This culminated in flying saucer crash incidents such as Roswell (1947) and Aztec (1948), and the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with a human looking group of extraterrestrials during the Eisenhower administration.

The MUFON Journal article’s author, Dr. Robert Wood, is the world’s foremost authenticator when it comes to the controversial Majestic Documents. These are leaked documents concerning the activities of Operation Majestic 12, which was formally set up in September 1947 to manage the UFO/extraterrestrial issue. A former aerospace engineer with McDonnell Douglas whose career spanned 43 years, Dr. Wood began his investigation and authentication of the Majestic Documents in 1995 with his son, Ryan.

In his article, which is titled “Forty-Seven Pages From the DIA: Why Should We Care?”, Dr. Wood gives a succinct overview of the 47 pages of the leaked DIA document:

 Basically, there are five parts of intellectual content: (1) objective, history and organization of MJ-12; (2) details of the 1947 Roswell crash recovery; (3) details of the 1948 Aztec crash recovery; (4) condensed conversations with the Aztec EBE; and (5) issue of the national security or the risk of cultural upheaval, together with diplomatic and cultural exchanges during the 70s and 80s visiting some of EBE’s worlds.

For a more detailed breakdown of the document’s contents, see my previous articles analyzing these (here and here).

In the leaked 1989 DIA document, Dr. Wood finds a number of reasons that point to its authenticity and why it is an error to simply dismiss it as many UFO researchers have done to date. His detailed analysis of the typing, spelling mistakes, signatures, patents referenced, individuals mentioned, etc., in the document lead to his conclusion that it was a briefing dictated by a member of the Majestic 12 group to two typists. They typed up the 47 pages, a copy of which was preserved on microfilm by the DIA as Dr. Wood explained:

If one contemplates why there were so many errors made in a document officially recorded on a microfilm, and you pronounce the word or phrase on the left and look at the correct one on the right, usually they sound essentially the same. This would be consistent with the document having been created as a result of taking dictation and having two different typists implement the words on paper…

This would be consistent with MJ-12 (stated in this case to be individual MJ-1) having dictated a one-time entry-level summary for the new person, since one apparently was not available from prior written records at the time of the alleged briefing.

The DIA document’s cover page refers to itself as a “preliminary briefing” created by the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Office of Counter Intelligence, on January 8, 1989. The full title of the briefing package is “Assessment of the Situation/Statement of Position on Unidentified Flying Objects”, and it is addressed to the Office of the President.

The natural assumption to make is that the briefing was intended for President Elect George Bush, the Vice President at the time and winner of the 1988 Presidential election. However, by analyzing the only signature appearing on the DIA document, Dr. Wood concludes the briefing was actually intended for a distinguished astrophysicist at MIT, Dr. Philip Morrison:

This is the only signature on the document, and the first question might be whether it was the entry level person being briefed or the briefer. It seems much more reasonable that it was the person being briefed

Dr. Morrison began his career as a nuclear physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and then moved his area of expertise to astrophysics to express his disapproval of the nuclear arms race. He became famous for popular books and documentaries dealing with astrophysics, and continued to be a Professor at MIT. In 1987, Dr. Morrison was the host of a six-part miniseries for PBS called “The Ring of Truth” which examined a number of astrophysics topics.  

There is important circumstantial evidence that the DIA document was a briefing dictated by the head of Majestic-12 to Dr. Morrison. In his MUFON article, Dr. Wood mentions that Dr. Morrison was on friendly terms with Carl Sagan, who some believe replaced Dr. Robert Menzel as a member of the Majestic-12 Committee upon the latter’s retirement and/or death in December 1976:

Philip Morrison was a very distinguished professor, who was a protégé of Oppenheimer and very likely was “in the know” on security issues, although I have no evidence of this. There is evidence, however, that he was very collegial with Carl Sagan during his career, helping to arrange a [UFO] symposium at the conclusion of the Colorado study in Boston.

Menzel had been named as MJ-10 on the Eisenhower Briefing document. In his book, Top Secret/MAJIC, veteran UFO researcher Stanton Friedman provided detailed evidence that Dr. Menzel was indeed a member of the Majestic 12 Committee, even though he wrote several books debunking the UFO phenomenon.

He is best known for his popular astronomy books such as Field Guide to the Stars and Planets (1964). Either prior to or shortly after Menzel’s death, the Majestic 12 Committee was looking for an astronomer/astrophysicist that could replace him. The replacement would have to have a firm scientific grounding in astronomy/astrophysics, broad public outreach, and have received Menzel’s recommendation prior to his death.

Dr. Sagan fit the bill with his scientific pedigree while a Fellow at Berkeley University when his work on NASA missions to Venus and Mars received widespread scientific recognition. Most importantly, his scientific work came to the attention of Dr. Menzel, who arranged for Sagan to be given an Assistant Professor position at Harvard University (1963-1968). Sagan moved to Cornell University, after he was denied tenure at Harvard, ironically due to the growing popularity of his generalist approach to science. Nevertheless, Menzel remained a firm supporter of Sagan.

Sagan achieved celebrity status through his popular books and documentaries, including his award winning Cosmos which aired on PBS in 1980 and was seen by 500 million people across 60 countries. If a position was reserved on the Majestic 12 Committee for a leading astronomer/astrophysicist with outreach to a global audience through popular books and television documentaries, and the approval of the previous position holder, then Sagan was the natural replacement for Menzel.

Similarly, by January 1989, when the Majestic 12 Group was looking for a replacement or an alternate to Dr. Sagan, due to impending retirement (he had likely been in the position since at least 1976) or some other reason (Sagan died on December 20, 1996), Dr. Morrison was a solid choice given his scientific pedigree, broad public outreach, and prior friendly relationship with Sagan. This is important circumstantial evidence in support of the authenticity of the DIA briefing document.

Also, the fact that the 1989 document was merely a briefing dictated by the head of the Majestic 12 Group for a new member taking up Dr. Sagan’s position, meant that not that much in the way of resources would have gone into preparing the briefing document.

The ad hoc nature in which the document was assembled, helps explain the notable security marking inconsistencies, spelling errors, cut and pasting of different documents together, etc., as many critics have pointed out.

In his MUFON article, Dr. Wood concludes in favor for the authenticity of the leaked 1989 DIA document with a number of compelling reasons despite its multiple errors. By identifying Dr. Morrison as the recipient of the briefing, rather than Vice President (President-Elect) Bush, Dr. Wood has provided the means of corroborating the document’s authenticity. Was Dr. Morrison being briefed as Dr. Sagan’s replacement on the MJ-12 Committee due to the latter’s retirement as a result of coming up to some kind of term limit due to his 13 years or more service as MJ-10?

As I mentioned in previous articles supporting the authenticity of the DIA document, its contents contain a wealth of information on topics such as the 1948 Aztec UFO crash; diplomatic relations between the Eisenhower administration and alien life; the role of Nikola Tesla in starting the modern UFO era; and the fact that human looking extraterrestrial are friendly and have been secretly living among humanity for decades.

Dr. Wood has performed a very valuable public service in authenticating the 1989 DIA document, opening the door to further close study of its rich contents and significant exopolitical implications.

Prince Philip Embroiled in ‘Close Encounter With UFO’

by Callum Hoare                      November 19, 2018                   (express.co.uk)

• Major George A. Filer (pictured above) was an Air Force intelligence officer for the USAF, who revealed to a panel audience at Dr. Steven Greer’s 2001 Disclosure Project press conference that as an Air Force officer, he had encountered a UFO over England.

• The story goes, that Filer’s jet was radioed by London Air Traffic Control about an aircraft that had failed to identify itself near Stonehenge, Salisbury. When Filer got to the location he saw a “floating cruise ship”. “We dove down on it and eventually we got close and it looked like a cruise ship at sea with all the bright lights,” said Filer. But when his jet reached a mile from the craft, it shot up into space. “London control just said ‘you can continue with your mission’ now.”

• But then Filer received a call from England’s Prince Phillip (also pictured above), consort (husband) of Queen Elizabeth, inviting him to dinner. The prince knew about the UFO encounter and wanted to hear about it from Filer. This convinced Filer that it was indeed an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Said Filer, “When someone of his stature indicates they are real and from another planet, it’s very convincing.”

• [Editor’s Note]  It has long been known that Prince Phillip has been a UFO enthusiast since WWII. In an earlier instance, Prince Phillip had his close friend, RAF officer Sir Peter Horsley, meet with an American General who introduced him to an extraterrestrial named Janus. Therefore, Prince Phillip was aware of the extraterrestrial presence as well. Read about it in the ExoNews article, “An Alien, An Air Marshal and Atomic War”.

 

Major George A. Giller (Filer actually) was an Air Force intelligence officer for the USAF, who claims to have encountered a UFO over England. He says his jet got a call from London Air Traffic Control about an aircraft that had failed to identify itself near Stonehenge, Salisbury. However, when George got there to inspect, the “floating cruise ship” darted from the scene.

“We dove down on it and eventually we got close and it looked like a cruise ship at sea with all the bright lights.

“We got about a mile from it and it went up into space.

“London control just said ‘you can continue with your mission’ now.”

However, that was not the end of the story for George, as he recalls meeting with Prince Philip as a result of his close encounter.

He added: “Apparently Prince Philip thought it was very important and invited us to dinner.

“He knew all about the fact we had chased the UFO and made me a believer in it since.

“When someone of his stature indicates they are real and from another planet, it’s very convincing.”
George gave his testimony as part of the Disclosure Project, which claims UFOs and aliens have been covered up by government agencies for years.

Meet J. Allen Hynek, the Astronomer Who First Classified UFO ‘Close Encounters’

by Greg Daugherty                      November 19, 2018                      (history.com)

• In 1947, a rash of reports of UFOs had the public on edge. The Air Force created Project Sign to investigate these UFO sightings. But they needed outside expertise to sift through the reports and come up with explanations for all of these sightings. Enter J. Allen Hynek.

• In 1948, Hynek was the 37-year-old director at Ohio State University’s McMillin Observatory. He had worked for the government during WWII developing new defense technologies for the war effort with a high security clearance. The Air Force approached him to be a consultant on ‘flying saucers’ for the government. “I had scarcely heard of UFOs in 1948 and, like every other scientist I knew, assumed that they were nonsense,” Hynek recalled.

• Hynek’s UFO investigations under Project Sign resulted in twenty percent of the 237 cases that couldn’t be explained. In February 1949, Project Sign was succeeded by Project Grudge, which said Hynek, “took as its premise that UFOs simply could not be.” The 1949 Grudge report concluded that the phenomena posed no danger to the United States, and warranted no further study.

• But UFO incidents continued, even from the Air Force’s own radar operators. The national media began treating the phenomenon more seriously. The Air Force had little choice but to revive Project Grudge under a new name: Project Blue Book. Hynek joined Project Blue Book in 1952 and would remain with it until its demise in 1969. But he had changed his mind about the existence of UFOs. “The witnesses I interviewed could have been lying, could have been insane or could have been hallucinating collectively—but I do not think so,” he recalled in 1977. Hynek deplored the ridicule that people who reported a UFO sighting often had to endure, causing untold numbers of others to never come forward, not to mention the loss of useful research data.

• “Given the controversial nature of the subject, it’s understandable that both scientists and witnesses are reluctant to come forward,” said Jacques Vallee, co-author with Dr. Hynek of The Edge of Reality: A Progress Report on Unidentified Flying Objects.

• On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union surprised the world by launching Sputnik, a serious blow to Americans’ sense of technological superiority. Hynek was on TV assuring Americans that their scientists were closely monitoring the situation. UFO sightings continued unabated.

• In the 1960s, Hynek was the top expert on UFOs as scientific consultant to Project Blue Book. But he chafed at what he perceived as the project’s mandate to debunk UFO sightings, and the inadequate resources at his disposal. Air Force Major Hector Quintanilla, who headed the project from 1963 to 1969, writes that he considered Hynek a “liability.”

• Hynek frustrated UFO debunkers such as the U.S. Air Force. But in 1966, after suggesting that a UFO sighting in Michigan may have been an optical illusion created by swamp gas, he became a punchline for UFO believers as well.

• In his testimony for a Congressional hearing in 1966, Hynek stated, “[I]t is my opinion that the body of data accumulated since 1948…deserves close scrutiny by a civilian panel of physical and social scientists…”. The Air Force established a civilian committee of scientists to investigate UFOs, chaired by physicist, Dr. Edward U. Condon. In 1968, Hynek assailed the Condon Report’s conclusion that “further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified.” In 1969, Project Blue Book shut down for good.

• UFO sightings continued around the world. Hynek later quipped, “apparently [they] did not read the Condon Report”. Hynek went on with his research, free from the compromises and bullying of the U.S. Air Force.

• In 1972, Hynek published his first book, The UFO Experience. It introduced Hynek’s classifications of UFO incidents, which he called Close Encounters. Close Encounters of the First Kind meant UFOs seen at a close enough range to make out some details. In a Close Encounter of the Second Kind, the UFO had a physical effect, such as scorching trees, frightening animals or causing car motors to suddenly conk out. In Close Encounters of the Third Kind, witnesses reported seeing occupants in or near a UFO.

• In 1977, Steven Spielberg released the movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Hynek was paid $1,000 for the use of the title, another $1,000 for the rights to use stories from the book and $1,500 for three days of technical consulting. He also had a brief cameo in the film, playing an awestruck scientist when the alien spacecraft comes into view.

• In 1978, Hynek retired from teaching. In 1973 he had founded the Center for UFO Studies which continues to this day. Hynek died in 1986, at age 75, from a brain tumor.

 

It’s September 1947, and the U.S. Air Force has a problem. A rash of reports about mysterious objects in the skies has the public on edge and the military baffled. The Air Force needs to figure out what’s going on—and fast. It launches an investigation it calls Project Sign.

By early 1948 the team realizes it needs some outside expertise to sift through the reports it’s receiving—specifically an astronomer who can determine which cases are easily explained by astronomical phenomena, such as planets, stars or meteors.

For J. Allen Hynek, then the 37-year-old director at Ohio State University’s McMillin Observatory, it would be a classic case of being in the right place at the right time—or, as he may have occasionally lamented, the wrong place at the wrong one.

The adventure begins

Hynek had worked for the government during the war, developing new defense technologies like the first radio-controlled fuse, so he already had a high security clearance and was a natural go-to.

“One day I had a visit from several men from the technical center at Wright-Patterson Air Force base, which was only 60 miles away in Dayton,” Hynek later wrote. “With some obvious embarrassment, the men eventually brought up the subject of ‘flying saucers’ and asked me if I would care to serve as consultant to the Air Force on the matter… The job didn’t seem as though it would take too much time, so I agreed.”

Little did Hynek realize that he was about to begin a lifelong odyssey that would make him one of the most famous and, at times, controversial scientists of the 20 century. Nor could he have guessed how much his own thinking about UFOs would change over that period as he persisted in bringing rigorous scientific inquiry to the subject.

“I had scarcely heard of UFOs in 1948 and, like every other scientist I knew, assumed that they were nonsense,” he recalled.

Project Sign ran for a year, during which the team reviewed 237 cases. In Hynek’s final report, he noted that about 32 percent of incidents could be attributed to astronomical phenomena, while another 35 percent had other explanations, such as balloons, rockets, flares or birds. Of the remaining 33 percent, 13 percent didn’t offer enough evidence to yield an explanation. That left 20 percent that provided investigators with some evidence but still couldn’t be explained.

The Air Force was loath to use the term “unidentified flying object,” so the mysterious 20 percent were simply classified as “unidentified.”

In February 1949, Project Sign was succeeded by Project Grudge. While Sign offered at least a pretense of scientific objectivity, Grudge seems to have been dismissive from the start, just as its angry-sounding name suggests. Hynek, who played no role in Project Grudge, said it “took as its premise that UFOs simply could not be.” Perhaps not surprisingly, its report, issued at the end of 1949, concluded that the phenomena posed no danger to the United States, having resulted from mass hysteria, deliberate hoaxes, mental illness or conventional objects that the witnesses had misinterpreted as otherworldly. It also suggested the subject wasn’t worth further study.

Project Blue Book is born

That might’ve been the end of it. But UFO incidents continued, including some puzzling reports from the Air Force’s own radar operators. The national media began treating the phenomenon more seriously; LIFE magazine did a 1952 cover story, and even the widely respected TV journalist Edward R. Murrow devoted a program to the topic, including an interview with Kenneth Arnold, a pilot whose 1947 sighting of mysterious objects over Mount Rainier in Washington state popularized the term “flying saucer.” The Air Force had little choice but to revive Project Grudge, which soon morphed into the more benignly named Project Blue Book.

Hynek joined Project Blue Book in 1952 and would remain with it until its demise in 1969. For him, it was a side gig as he continued to teach and to pursue other, non-UFO research, at Ohio State. In 1960 he moved to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, to chair its astronomy department.

As before, Hynek’s role was to review the reports of UFO sightings and determine whether there was a logical astronomical explanation. Typically that involved a lot of unglamorous paperwork; but now and then, for an especially puzzling case, he had a chance to get out into the field.

There he discovered something he might never have learned from simply reading the files: how normal the people who reported seeing UFOs tended to be. “The witnesses I interviewed could have been lying, could have been insane or could have been hallucinating collectively—but I do not think so,” he recalled in his 1977 book, The Hynek UFO Report.

“Their standing in the community, their lack of motive for perpetration of a hoax, their own puzzlement at the turn of events they believe they witnessed, and often their great reluctance to speak of the experience—all lend a subjective reality to their UFO experience.”
