UFO Spotted by Wales UK Police Chopper in 2016

Article by Amelia Ward                                                 June 22, 2021                                                                 (ladbible.com)

• On 17 September 2016, a spherical UFO was video recorded by a police helicopter using its FLIR thermal camera near St. Athan in Wales UK moving over the Bristol Channel. (see 1:13 minute video below)   The object was travelling at 106mph against the wind. The footage was kept hidden from the public until former policeman and current UFO investigator Gary Heseltine obtained the video under the UK’s Freedom of Information law. Heseltine thinks there are many questions that need answering by the UK government.

• The whole incident took place over eight minutes, with the footage showing the camera changing settings to try to work out what it was. “This is verified police helicopter FLIR footage showing an object not seen with the naked eye but clearly seen in the infrared spectrum. It is moving against the wind, so it is not a balloon, nor is emitting any heat signature indicating a propulsion system,” Heseltine told The Sun Online.

• “My FOI requests were largely stonewalled by the police authorities,” said Heseltine. “I believe there is much more information on this event that has yet to be released. I think it is highly likely that other police helicopter crews have recorded similar footage on their FLIR cameras. Given that the stigma relating to this subject is being lifted I urge them to be more transparent on this issue. This footage proves that objects, similar to what have been captured by the US Navy is being recorded on the same FLIR cameras here in the UK.”

helicopter in the UK.

The footage, which until recently wasn’t released, shows the object moving over the Bristol Channel.

It was filmed by a police helicopter, which was using its FLIR thermal camera near St Athan in Wales.

The object seems to move against the wind, appearing to travel at high speed. Small segments of the video were shared by the NPAS team, but after a Freedom of Information request was submitted by former policeman Gary Heseltine, the full thing has been released.

It shows the bizarre encounter, which took place on 17 September 2016, and UFO investigator Heseltine thinks there are many questions that need answering by the UK government.

NPAS South West said at the time that the heat setting was set to show hot objects as darker on the screen.

The whole incident took place over eight minutes, with the footage showing the camera changing settings to try to work out what it was.

Three years after the clip was released, police said: “A drone is possible, but they were unable to keep up with it so it would have to have been very fast.”

The Unclassified UAPTF Report Was for the Purpose of Global Perception

Article by Gautam Peddada                                               June 30, 2021                                                           (thepulse.one)

• UFO researcher Richard Dolan recently obtained a leaked summary of the classified version a US Department of Defense/ Director of National Intelligence UAPTF Report claiming that anti-gravity aircraft is already being tested at Area 51 and other Nevada military sites. (see here) Therefore, the public unclassified UAPTF Report which claimed to have no idea what these UFOs are, swarming Navy ships and seen by Navy aviators, was likely an “Information Operation” to make adversaries question whether American-made anti-gravity military drones are actually extraterrestrial.

• Richard Dolan’s leaked report also cites “Advanced utilization of exotic elements for energy research”. ‘Exotic elements’ could be successfully reverse engineered anti-gravity craft now being tested as alluded to by Christopher Mellon and Luis Elizondo.

• According to a US Department of Defense study document Joint Publication 1–02 (see here) ‘Information Operations’ are critical to the successful execution of military operations. “Information is facts, data, or instructions in any media or form,” according to the joint publication. The actual objective of the Nevada-based Viper teams, who work closely with George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, might be for disseminating strategic disinformation via Information Operations.

• According to the joint publication, the media is a ‘force multiplier’ and a ‘weapon of war’ for ‘perception management’ – targeting the minds of an adversary to defeat them psychologically and disarm them morally. If the Chinese believe in and mistake US recon planes for alien spaceships, the US will gain a major advantage. Media perception control propaganda can also create a public perception of an enemy as an evil entity, awakening a dormant tribal impulse in the public itself.

• In an age where 24-hour immediate battlefield news coverage is the norm, “media spin” in molding world opinion is a necessary component of military success. The military should avoid actions that would alienate public support while maximizing media coverage of success stories. It should not take media coverage of combat operations for granted.

 

                          Richard Dolan

A discovered US Department of Defense document provides unprecedented insight into why the US government is disclosing information concerning UFOs.

The US Department of Defense is very certainly utilising or plans to deploy sophisticated anti-gravity planes to gain an advantage over its terrestrial opponents. If the document obtained by UFO researcher Richard Dolan from the DNI report is to be believed, the US was in the midst of an informational campaign to gain a significant advantage, which may have been thwarted. The document obtained by Mr. Dolan makes a bold claim that anti-gravity aircraft is already being tested at Area 51 and related sites (based out of Nevada).

The actual objective of the Viper teams, who seemingly work closely in association with with George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell (both stationed in Nevada), might be for Information Operation (IO). Information Operations (IO) are critical to the

                    Dolan’s document

successful execution of military operations, according to a recently discovered US Department of Defense study document.
“Information is facts, data, or instructions in any media or form,” according to Joint Publication 1–02 (Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, April 2006). Information is also defined as “the meaning that a person imparts to facts via the application of recognised protocols in their representation.”

Extraterrestrial Hypothesis

For those wanting to answer additional existential mysteries, Richard Dolan’s report also cites “Advanced utilisation of exotic elements for energy research (ET related stuff).” With former US intelligence member Christopher Mellon and AATIP Director Luis Elizondo alluding to wrecked ET spacecraft on many occasions, it is reasonable to conclude that the anti-gravity craft now being tested were successfully reverse engineered.

Five Famous Kentucky UFO Encounters

Article by Emma Austin                                                June 21, 2021                                                         (courier-journal.com)

• In 2020, more than 80 Kentucky cases were reported to and investigated by the Mutual UFO Network or ‘MUFON’. “Most people walk around the world careened from one spot to another and don’t take the time to look up,” says Barry Gaunt, director of Kentucky’s MUFON chapter. “If you look up, you may see things.” The Louisville KY newspaper, The Courier Journal, looked back at five well-known UFO reports in Kentucky spanning decades.

• Fort Knox, KY 1948 – On January 7, 1948, Fort Knox received a report from the Kentucky Highway Patrol of a gleaming saucer-shaped UFO near Maysville, KY on the Ohio River. Reports also came in from Irvington, KY more than 240 miles away. Fort Knox radioed to four planes flying overhead to intercept the flying disk. The pilots responded that the UFO was at 20,000 feet “and going too fast for them to catch.” Capt. Thomas F. Mantell, a 25-year-old Kentucky National Guard pilot, was among the pilots chasing the UFO. Three of the pilots called off their pursuit at 22,500 feet, but Mantell continued to climb. Once he passed 25,000 feet, he blacked out from lack of oxygen. Hlane began spiraling toward the ground and crashed at a farm south of Franklin, KY. A university astronomer said that the pilots had likely been chasing the planet Venus.

• Hopkinsville, KY 1955 – On August 21, 1955, a group of eight adults and four children reported seeing a lit object glide onto a field outside one of their homes in Kelly, KY near Hopkinsville. They said it looked like an egg-shaped washtub. About 40 minutes later, they noticed “shiny little men” walking toward their house, and soon 15 of them were “all over the place.” Seeing the chrome-like creatures converge on the house, Billy Ray Taylor stepped out the front door and one of them grabbed at him from the roof. Elmer Sutton grabbed his shotgun, stepped outside and shot one of the silver creatures. The bullets didn’t seem to have an effect. His brother, John Sutton, fired four boxes of .22 cartridges from his pistol, but they ricocheted off. The creatures, who were described as having faces that looked like “skin stretched over a skull,” returned to the house five times in the course of about three hours, with the men running them off with their firearms each time. After the sixth visit, shortly before 11:00 pm, all 12 of the witnesses loaded into two cars and sped toward Hopkinsville to tell police. The police found no physical evidence to back up the story. Word spread the next day as newspapers and wire services picked up the story. Today, the Kelly community commemorates the event every August with the Kelly Little Green Men Days Festival.

• Casey County, KY 1976 – In January 1976, Elaine Thomas, Louise Smith and Mona Stafford from Casey County were driving home from a restaurant together when they saw a bright object in the sky about half an hour before midnight. The women watched it fall toward the ground, believing it was a plane about to crash. But before oval-shaped craft with revolving yellow lights hit the ground, it stopped, hovering above their car. Blue light filled their car, which began to shake back and forth. Then they felt the car being pulled backward before all three lost consciousness. They woke up in Hustonville, about eight miles from where they first saw the UFO — an hour and a half later. All three women had headaches and what appeared to be burn marks on the backs of their necks. The women underwent hypnosis to recall what happened during their missing time. In separate sessions, they all told the same story: They were taken aboard the spacecraft and closely examined by scaly, blue-eyed, telepathic creatures. They also were given lie detector tests, which they passed. But the three women became outcasts in Casey County, where they were ridiculed after sharing their story. “I tried to talk about it to people. They wouldn’t listen,” said Mona Stafford. “I say if you don’t want to face the truth, that’s like living in fairyland.”

• Prospect, KY 1977 – About 1:00 am on January 27, 1977, 19-year-old Lee Parrish was driving home from his girlfriend’s house in Prospect, KY when Parrish saw a bright orange rectangular object, about 10 feet tall and 40 feet long, hovering just above the treeline about 100 feet from the road. Parrish became frightened and wanted to leave the area but was unable. The car seemed to be driving itself. Parrish’s car radio failed and he continued watching the UFO until he was directly underneath it. Then it sped away. It never made a sound. Parrish realized that he had lost about 35 minutes of time. His eyes were bloodshot and painful. He enlisted the help of UFO researcher Carla L. Rueckert who hypnotized Parrish. Under hypnosis, Parrish described not being able to see anything after he first spotted the UFO. When he could see again, his Jeep was gone, and he was in a circular, white room with “self-luminous” walls. “Before him stood three objects which he instinctively felt or sensed were sentient beings, although they were definitely not human: a ‘black one,’ a ‘red one,’ and a ‘white one’. The black one was the tallest, “jug-shaped, with a relatively small head.” It had one single limb: a handless, one-jointed appendage. Parrish said the black one moved toward him slowly and used its arm to touch him on his left side and back, causing a painful feeling that was both cold and burning. He felt like he was vibrating. The shorter red one also had one handless and unjointed arm. He felt like the red one was scared and reluctant to touch him, but it touched him on the shoulder and above his right ear. “This felt like a needle and stung briefly, but did not terrify Lee and did not hurt long,” Rueckert wrote in her report. “During this time, (Parrish) felt quite cold. The whole ship seems to be rocking like ‘a boat on the water,’ back and forth.” The white one was about 6 feet tall, had two appendages and ‘glowed brightly’. However, it did not move and just watched Parrish. Parrish sensed that it was the ‘ruler’ of the other two.” The white one began making a rhythmic scraping sound. Then the black one backed up slowly, and the other two either merged with it or disappeared behind it. Parrish felt that the creatures were checking out his ‘chemical make-up’ and doing a physical check-up.”

• Louisville, KY 1993 – Around midnight on February 27, 1993, two Jefferson County air unit police officers flying in a helicopter reported a glowing, pear-shaped object about the size of a basketball that flew in circles around their helicopter before shooting three baseball-size fireballs out of its middle. Another officer said he saw the object from his squad car below for about a minute and confirmed it shot three fireballs into the air before disappearing. An engineering professor blamed the incident on atmospheric conditions and reflections off the snow on the ground below. Another local claimed that it was a homemade hot-air balloon. But officer Kenny Downs, who was one of the two in the helicopter that night, said “there’s no way” it was tiny hot-air balloon. “I don’t think six candles and a plastic bag can fly at the speeds we flew.”

 

Most UFO sightings can be explained away.

Unidentified flying objects usually turn out to be airplanes, drones, satellites, stars or even balloons.

But what about the ones that don’t have an explanation?

A highly anticipated federal report on UFOs commissioned by Congress has brought speculation on UFOs back into the limelight. It’s expected to be released this month and reportedly says the government did not find evidence UFOs are alien spacecraft, but the report also does not definitively say they aren’t, according to the The New York Times and CNN.

Barry Gaunt, director of Kentucky’s chapter of the Mutual UFO Network — the “world’s oldest and largest civilian UFO investigation and research organization” — has spent more than half his life working in what he considers the “paranormal field,” which includes investigating UFO sightings and abduction cases.

“I think it’s very important that we get all the cases into a database because what that does is it allows us to be able to really do deeper research,” Gaunt told The Courier Journal. “The more people that report these incidents, the more we can deal

             Hopkinsville creatures

with it.”
The Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, was created in response to the Air Force’s decision to shut down Project Blue Book, its study of unidentified flying objects from 1952 through 1969.

In 2020 alone, more than 80 Kentucky cases were reported to and investigated by MUFON, according to its online database.
“If you look up, you may see things,” Gaunt said. “Most people walk around the world careened from one spot to another and don’t take the time to look up.”

In anticipation of the government report’s release, The Courier Journal looked back at well-known UFO reports in Kentucky spanning decades. Here are five of those:

the Casey County UFO witnesses, Elaine Thomas, Louise Smith and Mona Stafford

Fatal air chase: Fort Knox, 1948

One of the earliest UFO reports happened in Kentucky, and it was among the most publicized because it ended in the death of Capt. Thomas F. Mantell, a 25-year-old Kentucky National Guard pilot.

On Jan. 7, 1948, Fort Knox received a report from the Kentucky Highway Patrol of an unusual aerial object near Maysville, according to a case summary by the Mutual UFO Network. Maysville sits on the Ohio River and is 66 miles northeast of Lexington. But reports that day also came in from Irvington — roughly 180 miles from Maysville — and Owensboro —

more than 240 miles away — of a westbound circular object in the sky, according to the network.

        Thomas F. Mantell

The gleaming object was easily visible from Fort Knox, and officers at the post radioed to three planes flying overhead to see if they could catch the object, which they thought might be a flying disk, according to a Courier Journal report the following day.
“About 20 minutes later they radioed back they were 20,000 feet high and the saucer was still above them,” a colonel told the newspaper. “The pilots said the saucer was too high and going too fast for them to catch.” The pilots said the saucer was traveling west at about 180 mph, though from the observation tower it appeared motionless.

University of Louisville astronomer Walter Lee Moore told The Courier Journal at the time the planet Venus had been near the sun during the reported sightings, and “very exceptional atmospheric conditions” could have made it visible to the naked eye during the day.

“If they chased Venus in airplanes, they certainly had a long way to go,” Moore said.

A report of Mantell’s death was printed on the front page of the Louisville newspaper alongside the article detailing the chase toward the object, but neither stories mentioned Mantell’s involvement in the chase. Airport officials said he was on his way back from a training flight to Atlanta when his plane exploded five miles south of Franklin, Kentucky.

Likewise, the report on pilots chasing the disk did not mention Mantell or any related fatality.

Contrary to what officials said at the time, Fort Knox commanders actually ordered four planes to follow the object, including Mantell’s. One of the four planes was low on fuel, and its pilot quickly abandoned the chase, according to the Mutual UFO Network.

Is There a Secret Base in NM Run by Aliens Who Breed Human Hybrids?

Article by Emma Gritt                                                       June 25, 2021                                                                (dailystar.co.uk)

• UFO ‘truthers’ claim that an underground facility under Dulce, New Mexico is manned by aliens who carry out extreme experiments, including the creation of freakish extra-terrestrial-human hybrids. The so-called ‘Dulce Base’ has been disclosed in books and online forums by former Dulce employees who gave up their secrets on their deathbeds.

• The late William Cooper wrote in his 1990 book: The Ultimate Deception that the mysterious desert base was run by Grey aliens. He said attempts by US Special Forces to wrangle back control of the underground facility had left 66 men dead after a particularly bloody firefight between US soldiers and the Greys. Cooper also claimed the lower levels of the maze-like base were home to tormented abductees as well as the freakish results of splicing human DNA to make new hybrids. He said that the huge underground facility stretched for miles down long tunnels connected by a high-speed shuttle system.

• “There are at least seven different levels at Dulce, with Level Six known as ‘Nightmare Hall’. This level is used for most of the experimentation by the Greys,” wrote Cooper. He added that one witness who had been “working in a slave camp under the spell of the Greys” was able to get a closer look at what was going on down there after mind-control “wore off”. Said the witness: “I witnessed multi-legged ‘humans’ that looked half human/half octopus. …Also Reptilians and furry creatures that had hands like humans and cry like babies. It mimics human words… also huge mixtures of Lizard-humans in cages. …There were also compartments of winged creatures, giants upwards of seven feet tall, and beings that were half-human, half bird-like. …One level below this can be found row after row of humans who have been abducted and never returned to the surface. They are being held in suspended animation in cold storage units.”

• A 2009 forum on AlienHub.com, titled, ‘A terminally ill Thomas Edwin Castello speaks out’, relayed answers about the base from a man who claimed to be a security guard who worked there decades prior. Castello recalled that the extraterrestrials relied on a strange liquid for sustenance. He wasn’t sure if they washed themselves to keep clean because he didn’t have access to their “private chambers”. And they were scared of guns.

• Plenty of people have rubbished the theory. Ufologist Leonard Stringfield claimed that the information about the Duce Base was “a distortion of facts”. Political scientist Michael Barkun said Cold War underground missile bunkers in the area gave the rumors some plausibility, but described it as an “attractive legend”, and that talk of experiments on abductees and fights between aliens and soldiers were “well outside even the most far-fetched reports of secret underground bases.”

 

                       William Cooper

As conspiracy theories go, that of the so-called Dulce Base takes some beating in the wild stakes.

UFO ‘truthers’ say the base, an underground facility in the desert of New Mexico, US, is manned by aliens who carry out extreme experiments, including the creation of freakish extra-terrestrial-human hybrids.

Its apparent existence has been detailed in outlandish UFO truther books, and mysterious Q&A sessions with whistleblowing former employees who gave up their secrets on their deathbeds.

 Thomas Edwin Castello

Late author, Commander X, real name Milton William Cooper, wrote in his 1990 book The Ultimate Deception that the mysterious desert base was run by aliens.

He said attempts by US Special Forces to wrangle back control had left 66 men dead after a particularly bloody fight between soldiers and aliens, known as ‘Greys’.

Cooper also claimed the lower levels of the maze-like base were home to tormented abductees who were never returned, as well as the freakish results of splicing human DNA to make horrible new hybrids.

He revealed the huge underground facility stretched for miles down long tunnels connected by a high-speed shuttle system.
While that might sound like Gatwick Airport, you won’t find Duty Free shops down there, or people supping a pre-flight pint at 6am.

Cooper wrote. “There are at least seven different levels at Dulce, with Level Six known as ‘Nightmare Hall’. This level is used for most of the experimentation by the Greys.”

He added that one witness who had been “working in a slave camp under the spell of the Greys” was able to get a closer look at what was going on down there after mind-control “wore off”.

He apparently said: “I witnessed multi-legged ‘humans’ that looked half human/half octopus.

NASA Trains its Sights on Venus Again in 2028

June 22, 2021                                                        (timesnownews.com)

• With a budget of $1 billion, NASA will embark on two missions to Venus, each costing $500M. The missions – called DAVINCI+ and VERITAS – indicates renewed optimism in the second planet from the Sun and Earth’s closest neighbor. The missions are planned to launch between 2028 and 2030.

• Despite its similarities with Earth in terms of size and closeness to the Sun, it has been the belief that there is no life on Venus. Surface temperatures on Venus can rise to 471 degrees Celsius – hot enough to turn solid lead into liquid. Its atmosphere made up of largely poisonous carbon dioxide is also not conducive to life as we know it. Then last year, Phosphine – a compound of phosphorus and one of the signatures of life – was discovered in the planet’s atmosphere. This has emboldened scientists’ to question whether Venus may indeed have living organisms.

• The ‘Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry and Imaging’ or ‘DAVINCI +’ mission aims to trace Venus’ atmospheric origins, how it originally formed and evolved, and why it differs so extraordinarily from Earth’s. Did Venus ever harbor water in the form of oceans or vapor from which life may have emerged, as it did on earth according to mainstream scientists?

• Upon its descent through the Venusian atmosphere, the DAVINCI+ module will drop a spherical probe carrying a mass spectrometer to collect samples of the atmosphere at various altitudes and return measurements back to the orbiting spacecraft to measure the mass of different molecules. DAVINCI+ will also study geological features on Venus known as ‘tesserae’ to uncover whether Venus has continents like those seen on Earth underneath its atmospheric blanket.

• The ‘Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSar, Topography and Spectogaphy’, or ‘VERITAS’ orbiter mission also intends to map the surface of the planet to better understand how changes in volcanic activity, climate and terrain caused the topology of Venus to evolve so dramatically differently than Earth’s topography. VERITAS will take high resolution, planet-wide topographic images of the Venusian surface, tracing its mountains and valleys. Additionally, the ‘Venus Emissivity Mapper’ instrument onboard VERTIAS will study gaseous emissions on the planet’s surface. It will also be able to detect water vapor, if any exists.

 

                   DAVINCI+ module

Recent years have seen Mars overwhelmingly claim the spotlight but news of NASA

                      VERITAS orbiter

greenlighting not one, but two missions to Earth’s closest neighbour, Venus indicates renewed optimism that our blue planet’s hellish twin may have much more to teach us than previously thought.

Both of NASA’s missions, DAVINCI + and VERITAS, will, reportedly, receive roughly $500 million each for development and are scheduled to launch between 2028 and 2030.

For decades, it was believed that there was no life on Venus despite the similarities it has with Earth in terms of size and closeness to the Sun. And the planet’s conditions provide good reason for this. Surface temperatures on Venus can rise to 471 degrees

Celsius – hot enough to turn solid lead into liquid. Its poisonous atmosphere made up of largely carbon dioxide is also not particularly conducive to life.

But an interesting discovery – albeit controversial, it is worth adding – made last year has

emboldened scientists’ convictions that Venus may, indeed, have living organisms. Phosphine – a compound of phosphorus and one of the signatures of life – was discovered in the planet’s atmosphere.

DAVINCI+

The discovery has been hotly debated but there is hope that the DAVINCI+ mission will finally put paid to it. The Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry and Imaging or DAVINCI + mission primarily aims to trace Venus’ atmospheric origins, seeking to identify how it originally formed and evolved, and why it differs so extraordinarily from Earth’s.

UAPTF Report: UFOs Are Real. Now What?

Article by Jazz Shaw                                                     June 26, 2021                                                               (nationalreview.com)

• NOW that we’ve had some time to absorb the release of the long-awaited UAP Task Force report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), let’s try to wrap our heads around what the report actually said. First of all, the public version of the report was painfully short. The classified report given to Congressional Intelligence and Armed Services committees is ten times longer. The Department of Defense and intelligence community really don’t like talking about this subject. DoD officials say that even getting that nine page unclassified public report out of the Pentagon was an exercise in ‘pulling teeth’.

• Still, there were important admissions made in the UAPTF report. First, the vast majority of UFO incidents they studied “probably do represent physical objects” as they were usually identified on multiple avenues of sensory data, in addition to testimony from pilots and technicians who watch the skies for a living.

• Second, the ODNI conceded that out of 144 UFO incident reports, they were able to conclusively identify only one of them as a deflated balloon. They simply don’t know what the rest of them are. The government claims that it isn’t American technology (although many people have no faith in this statement). The report goes on to say that there is no evidence that these UFOs indicate a major technological advancement by a potential adversary either.

• The report notes that most of the reported UFO sightings took place in controlled airspace, in the midst of our naval battle groups and even over military facilities in mainland North America. If there were the slightest indication that those things came from Russia or China and were showing up over our testing range in Nevada or Montana, our real-world military would be at least trying to shoot them down. But our top pilots say that these UFOs ‘leave our Super Hornet (jets) in the dust’. Commander David Fravor who saw the Tic Tac UFO in 2004 said that if the UFO had been hostile, he never would have stood a chance.

• Third, the report states, “Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion,” ie: flight-control surfaces, rotors, exhaust ports, or wings. As for acceleration speed of the UFOs, pilots describe them as ‘simply disappearing’. This suggests anti-gravity technology. It is not a stretch to assume that our military has this technology, and so do our Earthly adversaries.

• There is plenty of substance to the publicly declassified report. Our government has been studying these things for more than 70 years. The scrutiny has intensified over the past decade and new policies encourage the reporting of anomalous encounters rather than punishing anyone who mentions them. Following the release of the report, the deputy secretary of Defense issued a memorandum instructing both military and government personnel to report any UFO sightings and ordering the creation of better methods of receiving, recording, and analyzing such data.

• So where does that leave us? Has the US government switched from a policy of denying the existence of UFOs to one of trying to gaslight us all into believing in them to a limited degree? Whatever they might be — they are out there. They almost certainly are not the property of our government, our allies or our adversaries. Eliminating those Earthly sources, we’re quickly running out of candidates.

 

NOW that we’ve all had some time to absorb the release of the long-awaited UAP Task Force report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), it’s probably a good idea to try to wrap our heads around what the report actually said. Perhaps even more to the point, we should make note of what it did not say, this being a subject that seems to elude some of the reporters who are relatively new to the entire UFO phenomenon. And yes, many of us are going to stubbornly continue to use “UFO” no matter how hard the U.S. government tries to get us to say “UAP” so everyone won’t sound quite so crazy.

The first thing to keep in mind is that the public version of the report was short. Painfully short when compared with some of the aspirational dreams of the faithful in ufology. The classified report given to appropriate congressional committees (Intelligence and Armed Services) is reportedly ten times longer and contains all manner of goodies, but we may never see those. Reliable testimony from former Defense Department officials suggests that even getting that slim report out of the Pentagon for the public was an exercise in pulling teeth. They really don’t like talking about this subject.

None of this should be taken to mean that the report was a dud. There were important admissions made by the ODNI on Friday. One of the first was that the vast majority of “UAP” incidents they studied “probably do represent physical objects.” They draw this conclusion from the fact that most were picked up using multiple avenues of sensory data, in addition to testimony from pilots and technicians who watch the skies for a living. So it’s not just swamp gas, “ball lightning,” or birds. And if you’ve seen one, you may not be crazy. (Or if you are, it’s not because of this.)

Famous ‘Tic Tac’ UFO Spotted Over England

Article by Evgeny Mikhaylov                                               June 20, 2021                                                              (sputniknews.com)

• Facebook by Lucy Jane Castle, from Hinckley in southwest Leicestershire, England, recently saw a ‘Tic Tac’ UFO hovering in the sky, very similar to the UFO spotted by former US Navy pilot Cmdr. David Fravor during a routine training mission about 100 miles off the Pacific coast between San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico in 2004.

• “It was hovering for a while and within a blink of an eye it had gone”, Castle said. “Never seen anything like this before in that shape… Quickly took a picture while it was very still and within a blink of an eye it disappeared”.

The infamous “white Tic Tac” UFO spotted in 2004 by the US Navy has once again

          original ‘Tic Tac’ UFO in 2004

appeared – this time, over the United Kingdom. The strange object was photographed and shared on Facebook by Lucy Jane Castle, from Hinckley in southwest Leicestershire.

“It was hovering for a while and within a blink of an eye it had gone”, she said. “Never seen anything like this before in that shape… Quickly took a picture while it was very still and within a blink of an eye it disappeared”.

The strange thing was originally spotted by former US Navy pilot Cmdr. David Fravor while he was on a routine training mission about 60 to 100 miles off the coast between San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico. According to testimony, the UFO didn’t create rotor wash (air turbulence caused by helicopter blades) and mirrored the pilots’ movements, before disappearing.

Pentagon UFO Report is ‘Complete Whitewash’ Say Conspiracy Theorists

Article by Mark Hodge                                                      Jun 27 2021                                                           (the-sun.com)

• The Pentagon’s UAP Task Force released its highly anticipated 9-page ‘Preliminary Report’ to Congress. The report admitted that they could not explain 144 sightings of UFOs spotted since 2004. Despite not finding any evidence that the UFOs filmed by US Navy pilots were extraterrestrial, that “explanation can’t be definitively ruled out” said a government official.

• The Mirror spoke to several people near the Area 51 base in Nevada – where many people believe American authorities are hiding spacecraft from another planet. Misty Ingram, 40, of the Alien Research Center located near the base, said, “They know full well what is out there, but they refuse to tell us the truth. It’s a complete whitewash. They want to feed us information bit by bit, to walk us into the water gradually, so as not to spark hysteria.” A late relative of Ingram worked at the top secret Area 51. She says he once hinted that he believed in life outside our planet. She said, “He would never confirm if asked directly, but said he would have to kill us if he did.”

• The Mirror spoke to Noel Garrison, 51, from Idaho, who was visiting the town of Rachel, Nevada (along the ‘Extraterrestrial Highway’). Garrison also thinks the report is a cover-up of extraterrestrial UFOs. “Clearly they have something to hide,” said Garrison. “[W]hy else would they be so shady? We had hoped the report would at least validate what many of us believe – that aliens do exist. But either they are too damned afraid to let us know or they want to keep us in the dark.”

• Gregory Monaghan, 51, from Minnesota, said, “I expected no less. It is a shambolic waste of taxpayer money. We all know life beyond Earth exists. Why not just tell us the truth that other beings have found our planet? I have no doubt they are living among us now.”

The US government this week admitted they could not explain 144 sightings of

  Misty Ingram at the Alien Research Center

flying objects spotted since 2004.

In the much anticipated document, officials said that despite not finding any evidence the UFOs filmed by navy pilots were aliens, that “explanation can’t be definitively ruled out.”

Following the release of the report, alien conspiracy theorists have slammed the US government for allegedly hiding the truth from the public.

The Mirror spoke to several people near the Area 51 base in Nevada – where many people believe American authorities are hiding spacecrafts from another planet.

Misty Ingram, 40, of the Alien Research Centre located near the base, said: “They know full well what is out there, but they refuse to tell us the truth.

“It’s a complete whitewash. They want to feed us information bit by bit, to walk us into the water gradually, so as not to spark hysteria.”|

Area 51 has been at the centre of UFO conspiracy theories for decades with alien-enthusiasts believing the alleged wreckage from the infamous Roswell Incident is stored there.

On July 8, 1947 the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) in New Mexico distributed a press release claiming they had recovered the remains of a “flying disc” which had crashed in the desert.

Unsurprisingly, the news made headlines across the country yet the very next day the US Army backtracked and released a second statement claiming the recovered object was actually a weather balloon.

A late relative of Misty, whose family are originally from the UK, worked at the top secret Area 51.

Misty claims he once hinted he believed in life outside our planet. She said: “He would never confirm if asked directly, but said he would have to kill us if he did.”

While the government does not disclose what operations take place at the base, it is believed the military test experimental aircraft there such as the futuristic-looking Stealth Bomber which was developed in the 1970s.

UFO Entered Sensitive Air Space Over Tucson, Arizona and Outran Police Choppers

Article by Debbie White                                             June 23, 2021                                                  (thesun.co.uk)

• On February 9, 2021 at 10.30 pm, a US Customs and Border Protection chopper crew told the Tucson Police Department an ‘unmanned aircraft system’, ie: a drone, was flying dangerously close to their helicopter near Tuscon, Arizona.

• According to the FBI, which has been investigating the matter, the drone appeared to launch from an area about five miles south of Tucson and flew across Tucson and north over Marana. For several hours, multiple law enforcement agencies tried unsuccessfully to locate the drone’s operator.

• The official report published by The Drive stated that it “maneuvered all over the city” while flying above 10,000 feet “in a manner to hamper [the Tucson Police Department’s] ability to track it visually… an erratic pattern as if the signal with its home station was getting weaker.” The drone also came worryingly close to a Kinder Morgan fuel terminal just west of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The drone then darted into controlled airspace around the military field, and the Tucson International Airport with police and border helicopter crews in hot pursuit.

• A Tucson Police helicopter pilot wrote that the crew “had hoped the [drone] would exhaust its battery reserves and be forced to land. [U]nfortunately, this was not the case”. The pilot believed the drone was “very sophisticated/ specialized and able to perform like no other UAS”. They lost it at about 14,000 feet as it traveled at speeds “well in excess of 100mph” – despite fleeing into a headwind.

• “Although we could not determine its exact size or characteristics we primarily tracked it by a single green non-blinking light illuminating from (underneath) the craft,” the pilot reported. It “was difficult for the police spotter to observe through night vision goggles”. But it was “obvious the (drone) controller had clear sight of both the helicopters tracking it by the way it would orbit us and abruptly fly behind us and attempt to avoid our visual contact”. After chasing the drone-like object for more than hour, both the customs and police choppers were forced to land and refuel. The UAS drone disappeared into cloud cover.

• FBI agents reported the drone as being “highly modified,” and making “erratic maneuvers”. The pilot’s report concluded: “It is unknown what the intentions of the sophisticated UAS were during its time near the Air Force Base, or how far away its origination/destination spot was. It was quite clear though that this was not like any other UAS that we have experienced.” Unfortunately no video recording was made of the bizarre incident.

• The FBI noted that “no one was injured and no other similar incidents have been reported involving this specific drone. “While the drone(s) did not come into direct contact with an airplane or cause a pilot to make an evasive maneuver, the actions are illegal and extremely dangerous.”

 

              Tuscon police helicopter

A UFO that suddenly appeared in Arizona’s sensitive air space flew at 100mph and outran police choppers, amazing documents reveal.

The “extremely dangerous” object darted above fuel tanks at the Air Force Base before being chased by customs and border officials, says the FBI.

The unexplained flying object cropped up above fuel tanks west of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, reports The Drive.

It then darted into controlled airspace around the military field, and the Tucson International Airport – with cops and border crews in hot pursuit.

But they lost it at about 14,000 feet.

Plus it managed to out-fly the choppers by speeding away at more than 100mph – despite fleeing into a headwind.

               border patrol helicopter

The website – citing official reports – says it had a single green light underneath it, and it “was difficult for the police spotter to observe through night vision goggles”.

Unfortunately no video recording was made of the bizarre incident.

FBI agents reported it as being “highly modified,” and making “erratic maneuvers”.

Tic Tac Navy Pilot Alex Dietrich Wants to ‘Normalize’ UFOs

Article from Reuters                                               June 25, 2021                                                   (nypost.com)

• In November 2004, during a routine training mission with the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier off the Southern California coast, Navy pilots David Fravor and Alex Dietrich were asked by another warship to investigate radar contacts in the area moving in an inexplicable fashion. The two pilots first noticed a “churning” of the ocean surface before seeing a smooth, white oblong object resembling a large ‘Tic Tac’ breath mint flying at high speed over the water. When Fravor turned to “engage with” the object, “it appeared to respond in a way that we didn’t recognize” because it seemed to lack “any visible flight control surfaces or means of propulsion,” Dietrich recalled.

• Now, with the release of the Senate UAP Task Force “Intelligence Assessment” Report and a CBS “60 minutes” interview, Dietrich has found herself at the center of a storm of UFO disclosure. “I don’t consider myself a whistle blower … I don’t identify as a UFO person,” the retired Navy Lieutenant Commander told Reuters. Since agreeing to enter the public spotlight, Dietrich has addressed dozens of video calls from journalists asking about what she saw in 2004. Her answer remains the same, as it has for the past 17 years. “We don’t know what it was, but it could have been a natural phenomenon in human activity. But the point was that it was weird and we couldn’t recognize it.”

• Dietrich said she wants to reduce the stigma attached to reporting UFO sightings and hopes more people can speak up without fear of ridicule. “Folks might be concerned about their careers or their church or something like that. They don’t want to be the kooky UFO person, so I guess I’m trying to normalize it by talking about it,” she said.

• While the UAP Task Force report covers more than 120 documented cases of enigmatic objects exhibiting speed and maneuverability exceeding known aviation technologies, Dietrich said she has no opinion on the report and was not privy to its contents. She would like to hear more from pilots who have had similar UFO sightings, however. “There’s a common humanity, I guess, of being a little bit shocked, a little bit delighted, a little bit nervous, confused, all of that. And so, recognizing that in another human, that can be comforting in a way,” she said. “I hope I’m not the UFO, Tic Tac person for the rest of my life. This is not what I envisioned for myself.”

 

WASHINGTON, June 24 – Retired US Navy Lieutenant Commander Alex Dietrich

                Alex Dietrich

has found herself in the glare of media attention ahead of a highly anticipated government report on UFOs, a subject she says she has little interest in, despite actually encountering one on the job.

“I don’t consider myself a whistle blower … I don’t identify as a UFO person,” the former fighter pilot told Reuters in a Zoom interview, days before the report, expected to feature her own experience and dozens of others like it, was due for presentation to Congress.

During a routine training mission with the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz off the Southern California coast in November 2004, Dietrich and her then-commanding officer, fellow pilot David Fravor,

                David Fravor

were asked by another warship to investigate radar contacts in the area moving in an inexplicable fashion.

She recounted they first noticed an unusual “churning” of the ocean surface before seeing what she and Fravor have described as a smooth, white oblong object resembling a large Tic Tac breath mint flying at high speed over the water.

When Fravor in his jet turned to “engage with” the object, “it appeared to respond in a way that we didn’t recognize” because it seemed to lack “any visible flight control surfaces or means of propulsion,” Dietrich recalled.

Footage of what Dietrich and Fravor witnessed that day, now popularly known as the Tic Tac incident, will likely be included in the upcoming report to Congress, along with two other declassified videos taken by US Navy fighter jets in 2015 in similar encounters with what the government calls unidentified aerial phenomena or UAP.

The US Navy has previously confirmed the videos as authentic.

Dietrich, now a mother of three, has discussed her experience in a recent joint appearance with Fravor on the CBS News program “60 Minutes,” and has since addressed dozens of video calls from other journalists asking to know more about what she saw in 2004.

Her answer remains the same, as it has for the past 17 years.

“We don’t know what it was, but it could have been a natural phenomenon in human activity. But the point was that it was weird and we couldn’t recognize it,” Dietrich said, speaking from a Colorado hotel room she was sharing with her children and two dogs.

Juggling media queries amid a cross-country family move is exhausting, but Dietrich said she wants to reduce the stigma attached to reporting UFO sightings and hopes more people can speak up without fear of ridicule.

London Woman Says She’s Fallen for Handsome Alien from Andromeda

Article by Lucy Notarantonio                                             June 19, 2021                                                              (dailystar.co.uk)

• One evening, Abbie Bela (pictured above), an actress in her 30s who lives in Canary Wharf in east London, lamented to herself how sick she was of Earth men. “I joked online about wanting an alien to abduct me,” said Abbie. “I then started dreaming every night of a white light. One night, a voice in my dream said, ‘Wait in the usual spot’. “The next evening, I sat next to my open window. As I drifted to sleep, a flying saucer appeared outside.”

• A bright green beam transported Abbie through her bedroom window and out to the UFO. On board the craft there were five human-like aliens that were “very tall and slender”, who came from the Andromeda galaxy. But there was one particular male alien who instantly “connected” with her. She said that it felt as if he was her ‘soul mate’. He told Abbie that she needed to consent to go with them. But Abbie was reluctant to go with them. “I didn’t want to say yes in case they took me forever.” After a 20 minute visit, the aliens returned Abbie safely home.

• Now, Abbie would like a second date with her cosmic sweetheart. She has an overnight bag ready. “I hope he comes back. I am willing to visit the Andromeda galaxy.” But Abbie has faced a backlash over her new lover. “It is controversial for people who haven’t considered interspecies dating. [But] I’m willing to give it a go. I’m going to be one of the first to normalize it.”

 

                Nordic alien paramours

Abbie Bela has landed herself an out-of-this-world lover.

She claims she has fallen for an alien after being abducted by a UFO.

Abbie reckons she was taken from her bedroom window this month.

Last month we told how a gran from Bradford said she had been abducted by ¬aliens more than 50 times.

Paula Smith claimed her first close encounter was when she was a little girl and they had continued ever since.

The 50-year-old even shared images of bruises she claims were left on her body by aliens.

But actress Abbie, who is in her 30s, says her ET paramour is her “soul mate” – and better than any earthling.

Though she’s still waiting for a second date with her sweetheart from the Andromeda galaxy.

Abbie said: “I am sick of men from Earth. I joked online about wanting an alien to abduct me.
“I then started dreaming every night of a white light. One night, a voice in my dream said, ‘Wait in the usual spot’.

Bela’s over night bag, awaiting the next encounter

“The next evening, I sat next to my open window. As I drifted to sleep, a flying saucer appeared outside. There was a bright green beam which transported me to the UFO.”

Abbie claims there were five aliens which had a human build but were “very tall and slender”.
She said: “There was one who connected with me.

“I felt the same. He said I had to consent to go with them, but I didn’t want to say yes in case they took me forever.”

Abbie said she was safely returned home to Canary Wharf in east London after 20 minutes.
She now has an overnight bag ready and said: “I hope he comes back. I am willing to visit the Andromeda galaxy.”

Scientist Kevin Knuth Looks at the Physics of UFOs

Article by Jerry Clayton                                              June 19, 2021                                                            (tpr.org)

• Kevin Knuth (pictured above) is an associate professor of physics at the University of NY at Albany and a former NASA research scientist at the Ames Research Center. He’s authored a paper titled ‘Estimating Flight Characteristics of Anomalous Unidentified Aerial Vehicles’, which reviewed case studies of UFO sightings from 1951 to present day, including the sightings of objects near the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in 2004. All the reports consist of reliable eyewitness testimony and, more importantly, corroborating radar data.

• In the Nimitz case, objects were tracked on radar several times, descending from 28,000 feet, which is about five miles up, down to sea level in about 8.7 seconds. “So those accelerations we estimated were on the order of about 5000 G’s, which is 5,000 times the acceleration of gravity, which is really crazy,” said Knuth. “Our fighter jets can really only handle about 13 G’s before the wings get ripped off.” At midpoint on the way down, the craft would have been traveling at approximately 35,000 miles per hour through the air and without a sonic boom.

• Knuth says he’s disappointed there has not been more serious study done by scientists. “We’ve had 70 years, three quarters of a century where we’ve had these things flying in our airspace. They show up in military bases. They show up over nuclear weapons sites, and virtually nothing is known about them. …[E]ventually when we finally learn what these things are — this is going to be one of the greatest intelligence failures in history.”

• Knuth believes that these UFOs could be built by a government or an aerospace company, “except for a few important points.” “One is the accelerations are really anomalous to the point where it’s really not clear how the physics would work in that case. So, whoever has been making these things would have had to do not just have one technological leapfrog, but it would be multiple technological leapfrogs. And that would be quite surprising.” “ And more importantly, these things have been observed before. People have been able to fly.”

• What does Knuth expect from the Senate Intelligence Committee UAP Task Force report? “I expect that there probably will be a public component to the report … [which] will probably leave things a bit up in the air, whereas I would hope that the classified version would actually have more information.” If the report hints at anything other than worldly technology, [that] information will be slow to be released. “Some of this might be a little too shocking for us to handle all at once,” says Knuth. “[S]o they might instead try to ease us into it a bit.”

 

‘Tic Tac’ UFO seen off of the USS Nimitz in 2004

In case you may have missed it, a big news story has been bubbling to the surface.

‘Tic Tac’ type UFO seen over England on June 13th

The U.S. Navy confirmed that earlier leaked videos did, in fact, show what they call UAP’s or unidentified aerial phenomena. The Pentagon has admitted they’ve been studying them and recently NASA has announced its own investigation. So it seems as if the government is concerned about the national security threat these phenomena may pose.

Academia has been slow to take up the subject, possibly for fear of ridicule, but even that is changing. Professor Kevin Knuth is an associate professor of physics at the University in Albany. Among other things, he is a former NASA research scientist at the Ames Research Center.

Unidentified Aerial Vehicles. It included case studies from 1951 to present day, which included sightings of objects near the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in 2004.

All the reports consist of reliable eyewitness testimony and, more importantly, corroborating radar data. In the Nimitz case, objects were tracked on radar several times, descending from 28,000 feet, which is about five miles up, down to sea level in about 8.7 seconds. How fast is that? Knuth did the math.

“So those accelerations we estimated were on the order of about 5000 G’s, which is 5,000 times the acceleration of gravity, which is really crazy. Our fighter jets can really only handle about 13 G’s before the wings get ripped off,” he said.

At midpoint on the way down, the craft would have been traveling at approximately 35,000 miles per hour through the air and without a sonic boom. Knuth says he’s disappointed there has not been more serious study done by scientists.

“For me, it’s a little disconcerting.” he said. “We’ve had 70 years, three quarters of a century where we’ve had these things flying in our airspace. They show up in military bases. They show up over nuclear weapons sites, and virtually nothing is known about them. And I look at this as probably, I think, eventually when we finally learn what these things are — this is going to be one of the greatest intelligence failures in history,” said Knuth.

Five UFO/Alien Sightings From Ohio USA

Article by Joe Dandron                                                 June 19, 2021                                                                  (dispatch.com)

• Humans may not be alone in this galaxy. Ohio – the Buckeye State – has had its fair share of UFO sightings and close encounters. Here are five of the most popular sightings in Ohio lore:

• Portage County, 1966 – On April 17, 1966, two Portage County (in northeast Ohio) Sheriff’s deputies stopped at about 5 a.m. to investigate an abandoned car when they saw a UFO come up from behind some trees. They followed the flying saucer across the state line into Pennsylvania during an 86-mile chase that at times reached 100 mph. At one point, a dispatcher instructed the two deputies to shoot the object, but a sergeant countermanded that, saying it could be a government weather balloon. Deputy Dale Spaur said that the object was roughly 40 feet wide and 20 feet tall. “Somebody had control over it,” he said. “It wasn’t just floating around. It can maneuver.” The deputies gave up the pursuit in Conway, Pennsylvania where the UFO hovered, then sped off into the night. Hundreds of people reported seeing the saucer and hearing its steady hum.

• Tarlton, 2006 or 2007 – Two women were driving back from Columbus, near Tarlton, Ohio, when they spotted an “entity sitting inside of a silver truck.” The entity was of slight body stature, “almost glowing”. “My headlights are shining on the vehicle because we’re looking straight at it,” one of the women stated. “I felt like something was turning my head, making me turn and as I turned in the opposite direction there was this … it glowed like white power, that’s the only way I can describe it.” “There (were) no eyeballs,” the second woman reported. “Very thin, hairless, bald and so thin … no definition of (nose and mouth). But it was glowing.”

• Pickaway County, 1958 – On Feb. 27, 1958, 17 year old Pete Hartinger was on his way to the Pickaway County Fairgrounds when he saw a saucer-shaped object floating over the local feed mill before drifting out of sight. Then something else returned. “A totally different object came back. It was a reddish-orange object, a circle just like the setting sun,” said Hartinger, now in his 80s. “It stopped and hovered in midair … and the top half folded down onto itself.”

• South Bloomfield, 2006 – In March 2006, Michael Moore spotted “slow-moving, hovering lights” on his commute to work. The lights traveled low and hovered above a gas station in South Bloomfield, Ohio, about 20 miles south of Columbus, before the UFO shot off into the northeast sky. “I pulled into Speedway since I needed gas and when I got out of my car I saw it hovering almost directly overhead,” said Moore. “The lights were so bright that the glare prevented me from seeing an actual shape of the object.”

• Canal Winchester, Circleville, 2019 – On June 13, 2019, an anonymous witness saw a “white light and oval in shape …heading east”. It was in view for less than five seconds before disappearing. Then in the early morning of November 15, 2019, he saw a similar object, also oval shaped and white near the intersection of Routes 674 and 22. He watched the object nearly land, but emit no noise at all, before disappearing.

 

From Roswell, New Mexico, to Circleville, Ohio, UFOs and aliens have been part of American myth and legend for some 75 years.

The U.S. government last year released three videos of UFO sightings by Navy pilots — one from 2004 and two from 2015. Later this month, a Pentagon task force is expected to deliver a report to Congress on what government officials now call “unexplained aerial phenomena.”

The report may suggest the possibility of Chinese or Russian spycraft, or it could confirm thousands of conspiracy theorists’ suspicions: Humans may not be alone in this galaxy. Or not.

The Buckeye State has had its fair share of UFO sightings and close encounters. Here are five of the most popular in Ohio lore:

1. Portage County, 1966

On April 17, 1966, two Portage County Sheriff’s deputies stopped to investigate an abandoned car about 5 a.m. near Ravenna, Ohio, about 144 miles northeast of Columbus.

According to a report from The Beaver County Times in western Pennsylvania, the two deputies saw a UFO come up from behind some trees and chased the flying saucer from Ohio across the state line into Pennsylvania during an 86-mile chase that at times reached 100 mph.

At one point, a dispatcher instructed the two deputies to shoot the object, but a sergeant countermanded that, saying it could be a government weather balloon, the story said.

One of the Portage County deputies, Dale Spaur, told reporters then that the object was roughly 40 feet wide and 20 feet tall by his estimation.

Uri Geller’s Psychokinesis Powers Were Activated by a UFO

• Uri Geller (pictured above) who has claimed to use his powers of psychokinesis to help Scotland beat England in the (delayed) Euro 2020 football championship, says that he got these abilities – reading thoughts and manipulating objects with his mind – after an encounter with a UFO when he was three years old.

• As a boy, Geller was struck by a ray of light like a laser beam from a UFO. Days later when he had a bowl of soup, the spoon drooped. He then progressed to making the metal of his watches move, causing basketballs to curve towards the hoop when he threw them and looking at the back of other students’ heads to see what they were writing in exam papers.

• Geller, 74, was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he now lives. He is a distant cousin of famous psychologist Sigmund Freud on his mother’s side. At 18, Geller volunteered as a paratrooper in the Israeli army and was wounded in the head and arm during 1967’s Six-Day War which saw Israel clash with Jordan, Egypt and Syria. Afterward, he worked as a male model before finding fame with his own shows involving spoon bending, describing hidden drawings, and making watches stop or run faster.

• In 2009, Geller bought an uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland, which he believed to be the hiding place of ancient Egyptian treasure.

• In 2017, documents revealed Geller underwent a week of CIA experiments in 1973 as part of the Stargate Program, which investigated psychic powers and how they could be weaponized by the CIA. They concluded he did indeed have paranormal abilities. Geller says he worked with both the FBI and the CIA, to wipe KGB computer files, track serial killers and use brainwaves to influence Russia to sign a nuclear treaty.

Uri Geller plans to use his powers to help Scotland beat England on Friday – but how much do you know about the celebrity spoon bender?

He vowed to make up for his actions at Euro 96 after claiming to have moved the ball as Scotland’s Gary McAllister ran up to take a penalty.

And while Brits are sporting the tin foil hats your trusty Daily Star printed to combat his spooky brainwaves, we reveal 12 eerie Uri facts.

1. Geller, 74, was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he now lives. He is a distant cousin of famous psychologist Sigmund Freud on his mum’s side.

2. Geller says his powers of telepathy and psychokinesis –reading thoughts and manipulating objects with his mind –were activated by an encounter with a UFO when he was three. He claims he was struck by a ray of light like a laser beam and days later when he had a bowl of soup, the spoon drooped.

3. As a boy he progressed to making the metal of his watches move, causing

basketballs to curve towards the hoop when he threw them and looking at the back of other students’ heads to see what they were writing in exam papers.

4. At 18 Geller volunteered as a paratrooper in the Israeli army, and was wounded in the head and arm during 1967’s Six-Day War which saw Israel clash with Jordan, Egypt and Syria.

5. After the army, he worked as a male model before finding fame with his own shows involving spoon bending, describing hidden drawings, and making

watches stop or run faster.

6. In 2017, documents revealed Geller underwent a week of CIA experiments in 1973 as part of the Stargate programme which investigated psychic powers and how they could be weaponised by the CIA. They concluded he did indeed have paranormal abilities.

7. Geller claims he worked with both the FBI and the CIA, to wipe KGB computer files, track serial killers and use brainwaves to influence Russia to sign a nuclear treaty.

8. Sceptics claim Geller’s performances can be duplicated using tricks. Stage magicians suggest spoon-bending can be done using misdirection to get an audience to briefly look away as the implement is physically bent, or heating it previously, making it easier to manipulate.

9. Geller was pals with Michael Jackson, and Jacko was best man when he renewed his vows to wife Hannah in 2001. He also introduced the singer to controversial journalist Martin Bashir – whose interview sparked Jackson’s child sex abuse trial.

Russia’s Nuclear-Powered Tug ‘Zeus’ to Search for Extraterrestrial Life

June 15, 2021                                                     (sputniknews.com)

• On June 15th, the director general of the Roscosmos Russian state space agency, Dmitry Rogozin, told the audience at the GLEX-2021 space conference in St. Petersburg that the space tug ‘Zeus’ (pictured above) which has been under construction since 2010, is on schedule to make its first space flight in 2030. Rogozin called the search for extraterrestrial life and the monitoring of space-borne threats to the Earth the two most important tasks of the space tug.

• Once competed, Zeus will stop by Mars and Venus on its way to visit and study the outer planets and even distant stars. The space tug fitted with a nuclear reactor which will allow the ship to travel long distances. “[T]he most important task will be to discover and understand whether we are alone in space or there is another life,” Rogozin said.

• “Today, we have ensured the development of space monitoring programs, and this is of practical significance for how to avoid dangerous collisions in space,” said Rogozin. “But there is another, even more important task — how to protect our planet from uninvited collisions with space bodies that can destroy the civilization.” Rogozin noted that there exists no technology capable of diverting the trajectory of space objects approaching the Earth.

• Rogozin also emphasized the significance of international cooperation in space, calling it “the highest form of politics and ethics” in the relations between nations. The Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX) is an annual event that has gathered representatives of scientific circles, governments and industries since 2012.

 

ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) – Russian nuclear-powered space tug Zeus, currently

                       Dmitry Rogozin

under construction, will be sent on a mission to search for life in deep space once completed, Dmitry Rogozin, the director general of the Russian state space agency Roscosmos, said on Tuesday.

The space tug fitted with a nuclear reactor is set to be used for missions to remote planets of the Solar System and beyond. It has been under development since 2010 and is expected to make its first space flight in 2030.

“Missions that will be sent to Mars, Venus and, in the future after the development of thermonuclear capabilities, beyond the solar system, the most important task will be to discover and understand whether we are alone in space or there is another life,” Rogozin said at the GLEX-2021 space conference.

The Roscosmos chief called the search for extraterrestrial life and the monitoring of space-borne threats to the Earth the most important tasks of world cosmonautics.

“Today, we have ensured the development of space monitoring programs, and this is of practical significance for how to avoid dangerous collisions in space. But there is another, even more important task — how to protect our planet from uninvited collisions with space bodies that can destroy the civilization,” Rogozin said, noting that there so far exists no technology capable of diverting the trajectory of space objects approaching the Earth.

Virginia’s Wallops Island Spaceport Seeks to Increase Launch Activity

Article by Jeff Foust                                                       June 13, 2021                                                               (spacenews.com)

• When the chief executive of the of the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority which operates the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) at Wallops Island on the Virginia Coast, Dale Nash, decided to retire, the authority convened a search committee to select Nash’s successor. On June 10th, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and the chairman of the board of the authority Jeff Bingham announced that Roosevelt “Ted” Mercer Jr., a retired Air Force major general, will be the next chief executive and executive director of the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority starting August 1st.

• In his 32 years in the Air Force, Mercer held a variety of space-related roles including commanding the 30th Space Wing at Vandenberg Air Force Base and serving as deputy director of operations for Air Force Space Command. Mercer retired from the Air Force in 2008. Mercer has since served as director of the Interagency Program Office for the Federal Aviation Administration’s ‘NextGen’ program to modernize management of the national airspace system.

• Northam said of Mercer: “Under his leadership, Virginia is poised to maximize the investments we have made in our world-class spaceport and launch into the future as a leader in space exploration, research and commerce.” Indeed, Mercer said that growing the spaceport’s launch business was second only to looking out for the needs of spaceport personnel. Mercer plans to “get aggressive” about bringing more customers to the MARS spaceport.

• The two existing MARS launchpads currently accommodate Northrop Grumman’s two Antares launches a year sending Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station, and occasional launches of Minotaur rockets for various government missions.

• But another player has recently begun to operate at Wallops Island – Rocket Lab. The company built a launchpad for its Electron rocket, and in March, it announced it would launch its new medium-class Neutron rocket from Wallops as well. Getting both Electron and Neutron flying regularly from MARS could dramatically increase launch activity. Electron is designed to launch as frequently as once a month, while Neutron may launch six to eight times a year. “Between the Northrop Grumman launches and the Rocket Lab launches, we could be easily doing 20, 25 launches a year within a couple of years,” Nash predicted.

• Certification of an autonomous flight termination system required by NASA will delay the Electron, however. The first Electron launch from Wallops, originally scheduled for 2020, could slip to as late as November.

• Mercer wants to attract additional launch companies to Wallops. “The opportunity to grow in the next one to five years is extraordinary,” he said, citing interest in small satellites from both companies and government organizations like the Pentagon’s Space Development Agency. “I want MARS to be the place of choice for some of these companies that want to get their satellites into orbit.”

• MARS will have to complete with other spaceports for that launch business, in particular Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center. Mercer suggested he would be open to building additional launch infrastructure at MARS if there is demand for it. Nash said NASA’s master plan for Wallops includes the ability to add two or three more launchpads, which could potentially accommodate larger launch vehicles than Antares and Neutron. The state of Virginia has more than $250 million in building the Wallops Island facility.

• But Mercer noted that there are limits to how large MARS could grow. “Will we ever become a Cape Canaveral? Probably not because of limits on the infrastructure that can be built there. …[B]ut we want to expand as much as we can… That will allow more customers to come to this range.”

 

               Roosevelt “Ted” Mercer Jr.

WASHINGTON — The new head of Virginia’s commercial spaceport on Wallops Island says he wants to increase launch activity at the site, while acknowledging that there are limits as to how big it can grow.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced June 10 that Roosevelt “Ted” Mercer Jr., a retired Air Force major general, will be the next chief executive and executive director of the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority, which operates the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) at Wallops Island. Mercer will

take over Aug. 1 when the current head of the authority, Dale Nash, retires.

“Under his leadership, Virginia is poised to maximize the investments we have made

                    Dale Nash

in our world-class spaceport and launch into the future as a leader in space exploration, research and commerce,” Northam said of Mercer in a statement.

Mercer held a variety of space-related roles in his 32 years in the Air Force, including commanding the 30th Space Wing at Vandenberg Air Force Base and serving as deputy director of operations for Air Force Space Command. Mercer retired from the Air Force in 2008 and, in

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam

2016, became director of the Interagency Program Office for the Federal Aviation Administration’s NextGen program to modernize management of the national airspace system.

The authority convened a search committee to select Nash’s successor, which led them to Mercer. “This committee has unanimously selected the best candidate possible to take the helm of Virginia Space,” Jeff Bingham, chairman of the board of the authority, said in a briefing. “Our new CEO and executive director is uniquely qualified to ensure that we deliver on our objectives and work to become increasing active and competitive over the next decade.”

MARS hosts only a few orbital launches a year currently. Northrop Grumman conducts an average of two Antares launches a year from Pad 0-A, sending Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station. Neighboring Pad 0-B hosts occasional launches of Northrop Grumman Minotaur rockets, including a Minotaur 1 launch of a National Reconnaissance Office mission scheduled for June 15.

Mercer said at the briefing that growing the spaceport’s launch business was a top priority, second only to looking out for the needs of spaceport personnel. “One of the cleanest ways we can begin to grow this business, without doing much in terms of infrastructure, is simply get aggressive about getting out and bringing more customers to our launch port and to our range,” he said.

A big factor in the future of MARS is Rocket Lab. The company built Launch Complex 2, a launchpad for its Electron rocket, next to Pad 0-A. In March, it announced it would launch its new medium-class Neutron rocket from Wallops, using the existing Pad 0-A. That rocket will also be manufactured at a facility to be built nearby.

UFO Appears Behind Band During Online Music Livestream

Article by Jaimie Kay                                                    June 13, 2021                                                           (dailystar.co.uk)

• Mexican singer Alain Gomez and his band ‘Famasloop’ were livestreaming an online concert when a UFO appeared in the background of the Mexico City apartment where Gomez was video streaming his performance. In the footage, a bright light is seen in the background through the window behind the singer as the band performs from other locations. It floats in the air for a second, flashes around, and then darts vertically out of view.

• The band said on social media: “We already suspected that our music could be linked to other galaxies!” The concert footage went viral with many claiming the object was indeed an alien spacecraft. Gomez, however, thought that it could have been a ‘meteorological phenomenon’. There happened to be a lightning storm taking place in Mexico City during the sighting. But Gomez insists that the footage is original and hasn’t been modified.

 

                  Famasloop livestream

A so-called “UFO” appeared behind a pop band as they livestreamed an online concert.

Alain Gomez, singer and founding member of the electro-music band Famasloop, said they were presenting their new song “Balcon” when a mysterious moving light appeared.

The singer told news agency Newsflash that he was performing an online concert from an apartment in Mexico City when the “UFO” was supposedly spotted in the background.

In the footage, a bright light is seen in the background through the window behind the singer as the band performs from other locations.

It floats in the air for a second, flashes around, and then darts vertically out of view in a split second.

The band said on social media: “We are musicians, not meteorologists or astronomers, and we do not want to lose focus… but we cannot stop saying ‘if we are alone in the Universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space’,” quoting famous astronomer Carl Sagan.

The band added jokingly: “We already suspected that our music could be linked to other galaxies!”

The concert footage went viral on social media with many claiming the object was indeed an alien spacecraft, however, Gomez had his own suggestion.

NATO Mutual Defense Pact to Add Space Attacks

June 14, 2021                                                   (abc.net.au)

• Around 2,000 satellites orbit the Earth, and over half of them are operated by NATO countries, ensuring everything from mobile phone and banking services to weather forecasts. Military commanders rely on some of these satellites to navigate, communicate, share intelligence and detect missile launches. Around 80 countries have satellites, with private companies are moving in as well. In the 1980s, just a fraction of NATO’s communications was via satellite. Today, it’s at least 40 per cent.

• Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty states that attacks on any one of the 30 NATO allies will be considered an attack on all of them. NATO’s collective defense clause has applied to military attacks on land, sea, or in the air, and more recently in cyberspace. It has only been activated once, when the members rallied behind the US following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

• Many NATO member countries are concerned about what they say is increasingly aggressive behavior in space by China and Russia. In December 2019, NATO leaders declared space to be the alliance’s “fifth domain” of operations, after land, sea, air and cyberspace. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg (pictured above) said that “any attack on space capabilities, like satellites and so on or attacks from space, will or could trigger Article 5 …which states that an attack on one will be regarded as an attack on all – that we all will respond.”

• Former US President Donald Trump raised deep concern among US allies, notably those bordering Russia like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, when he suggested that he might not rally to their side if they didn’t boost their defense budgets. Since occupying the office, Biden has tried to reassure them of America’s commitment to its European allies. Trump also ordered the creation of the US Space Force, which was launched in 2019. “Space is the world’s new war-fighting domain,” said Trump.

NATO leaders are set to expand the use of their all-for-one, one-for-all, collective

defence clause to include attacks in space, the military organisation’s top civilian official says.

Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty states that attacks on any one of the 30 allies will be considered an attack on all of them.

So far, it has only applied to military attacks on land, sea, or in the air, and more recently in cyberspace.

“I think it is important [with] our Article 5, which states that an attack on one will be regarded as an attack on all, that we all will respond,” NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said.

                          Putin and Xi

“We will make it clear at this summit that, of course, any attack on space capabilities like satellites and so on or attacks from space will or could trigger Article 5,” he said, a few hours before chairing a summit with US President Joe Biden and his counterparts.

Around 2,000 satellites orbit the Earth, over half operated by NATO countries, ensuring everything from mobile phone and banking services to weather forecasts.

Military commanders rely on some of them to navigate, communicate, share intelligence and detect missile launches.

UFO Report: A Big Nothingburger

Article by Luis Martinez                                         June 25, 2021                                         (abcnews.go.com)

• An unclassified version of a highly anticipated report on UFOs, prepared by the U.S. intelligence community and delivered to Congress on Friday, does not provide definitive explanations for 143 UFO/UAP encounters reported by the U.S. military between 2004 and 2021. The report (see here) does not contain the words “alien” or “extraterrestrial”, and says further study or “pending scientific advances” may be needed to help explain UFOs that fall into a vague category: “other.”

• A senior U.S. government official noted that the report does not indicate that a foreign adversary had made significant technological leaps. He said that future data may lead to ‘non-Earth-related’ technologies. “We are open to other hypotheses that is meant to recognize that we have many things that we are currently unexplained,” said the official. “We are open to the possibility that some things may be unexplainable with our current level of understanding.”

• The seven-page report presented to congressional committees on Friday met a requirement Congress put in place last year requesting that the U.S. intelligence community take six months to prepare an unclassified and classified report on what the U.S. government knew about UAP/UFOs. “The limited amount of high-quality reporting on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP,” said the report.

• The report reviewed 144 UAP incidents reported by U.S. military personnel in recent years. Only one could be explained and was attributed to a large deflating balloon. The report lists five hypotheses that may possibly explain some of them in the future: “airborne clutter” (birds, balloons, or drones); “natural atmospheric phenomena” (ice crystals, etc); “U.S. government or industry developmental programs”; “systems from a foreign adversary”; and the catch-all category listed as “other.”

• “Most of the UAP reported probably do represent physical objects given that a majority of UAP were registered across multiple sensors, to include radar, infrared, electro-optical, weapon seekers, and visual observation,” the report said. However, as the UAP incidents represent “an array of aerial behaviors”, “not all UAP are the same thing… [T]here is a wide, wide range of phenomena that we observe.”

• “There is not one single explanation for UAPs, it’s rather a series of things,” said the official. “And our analytic approach to this is to create a framework in which we have considered five explanatory categories that we believe are plausible explanations for a UAP that we observe.”

• The report cited 18 incidents “that appear to demonstrate advanced technology” based on flight characteristics. In those incidents, UFOs “appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion.” “In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings,” the report added. As for some of the incidents captured on video, the official said some are “propulsion that we can’t explain” though in some cases objects that appeared to be moving fast “may not be moving as quickly as it appears that they are in that video.”

• With the need for more data to analyze UFOs, the Pentagon announced new steps designed to standardize reporting and analysis of UAP reports across the military. The Pentagon’s UAP Task Force has begun to receive additional data from the Federal Aviation Administration from civilian pilots reporting “unusual or unexpected events.”

• “This report is an important first step,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., the former chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence who championed the drafting of the bill ordering the DNI report. “The Defense Department and Intelligence Community have a lot of work to do before we can actually understand whether these aerial threats present a serious national security concern.” Sen. Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the committee, labeled the report “inconclusive”.

• [Editor’s Note]   While the UAP Task Force report is a big ‘nothingburger’, I see two positive aspects of it. First, the report cites 18 incidents “that appear to demonstrate advanced technology” based on flight characteristics. The report includes a fifth category of UFOs as “other” – leaving room that extraterrestrials may have provided this advanced technology. Second, the report includes a category of UFOs created by “U.S. government or industry developmental programs”. So they admit that the UFOs seen by military personnel could have been manufactured by the military industrial complex, utilizing advanced technologies provided by “other”… which of course they were. The missing variable which the government is only willing to label as “other” is that this advanced technology was either provided directly by extraterrestrials or were derived from the reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial vehicles. The fact that these experimental drone craft employ extraterrestrial electromagnetic anti-gravity propulsion – which the US Navy has publicly patented under the inventor Salvatore Pais – is the ultimate conclusion that the U.S. government is trying so hard to avoid.

 

A highly anticipated report on UFOs, prepared by the U.S. intelligence community and delivered to Congress on Friday, does not provide definitive explanations for 143 encounters the U.S. military reported with unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, that took place between 2004 and 2021.

An unclassified version of the report, released on the Office of the Director of National Intelligence website, does not contain the words “alien” or “extraterrestrial” and says further study or “pending

 Senators. Marco Rubio and Mark Warner

scientific advances” may be needed to help explain what are known as unexplained aerial phenomena or UAP’s that fall into a vague category the report lists as “other.”

But a senior U.S. government official did not rule out the possibility that future data may lead to non-Earth-related technologies.

“Of the 144 reports we are dealing with here, we have no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation for them – but we will go wherever the data takes us,” said a senior U.S. government official, who also noted that they did not show that a foreign adversary had made significant technological leaps.

“We are open to other hypotheses that is meant to recognize that we have many things that we are currently unexplained,” said the official. “We are open to the possibility that some things may be unexplainable with our current level of understanding.”

The seven-page report presented to congressional committees on Friday met a requirement Congress put in place last year requesting that the U.S. intelligence community take six months to prepare an unclassified and classified report on what the U.S. government knew about UAP’s.
“The limited amount of high-quality reporting on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP,” said the report.

US Air Force is Building Telemetry Stations Along The East Coast to Track UFO Activity

Article by Gautam Peddada                                                  June 16, 2021                                                   (collective-evolution.com)

• Former Navy pilot Ryan Graves stated that for two years, there was UFO intrusions into ‘sensitive’ air space off of Florida on a daily basis. For decades, the US military has isolated this particular air space as a ‘no fly zone’ for national security reasons.

• For seven years, Jeff Robert Blask has worked for the Pasco County, Florida (north Tampa) Building Department as a Plans Examiner Supervisor. He assesses construction designs for new buildings ranging from residences to hospitals to ensure compliance with the Florida Building Code.

• In April 2021, Blask was contacted by a Project Engineer for a private contractor about constructing a federal military enclave on leased land in his county. The base would include multiple structures, including a 100-foot tall tower with a radar dome, two 50-foot collapsible auxiliary towers, and an elevated monitoring facility with an observation deck. Blask said to the Project Engineer “Wow! That’s some hefty equipment. This is obviously for tracking possible UAP activity that we’ve had around our coasts in recent years.”

• “You got it!” the Project Engineer responded. “And as a matter of fact, if you are interested in that subject it may also interest you to know that this facility is not being manned and monitored by MacDill Air Force Base (just south of Tampa)… it’s being monitored in its entirety by Eglin (Air Force Base on the Florida panhandle).” “The assets themselves are not classified, however, the data that will be collected is,” the Project Engineer went on. “Therefore, this facility will be under heavily armed guards and only people with Top Secret clearance will be allowed in.”

• Blask has also learned that the private contractor has been asked to construct several similar telemetry station facilities along the coastal areas that will use cutting-edge tracking equipment to record data mainly from UFOs. This demonstrated to Blask that the military is now taking the UFO/UAP issue seriously.

 

The United States Air Force will construct a new telemetry station in Florida that will use cutting-edge tracking equipment to record data mainly from UFOs. This development is most likely connected to Aviator Ryan Graves’ assertion that there were sensitive air space intrusions practically daily on Florida’s East Coast for two years. For decades, the United States Department of Defense has reserved the specific air space in question for national security concerns. It is clearly a no-fly zone.

I had contacted the Plans Examiner Supervisor for Pasco County’s Building Department at the time of this writing. For the past seven years, Jeff Robert Blask has had the distinction of being a part of substantial progress. He has assessed construction designs for buildings ranging from new residences to new hospitals to guarantee compliance with the Florida Building Code.

A Project Engineer contacted Pasco County in April 2021 to obtain a permit for the

former Navy aviator Ryan Graves

facility’s construction. Mr. Blask understood from his expertise that the Federal Government does not require licenses to develop on state or municipal territory, therefore he was perplexed as to why permission was being asked for what was clearly a military complex. When Jeff inquired, the Project Engineer stated that the property was leased rather than owned by the federal government. As a result, the exemption is inapplicable.

The location is made up of multiple structures, including a 100-foot tall tower with a radar dome, two 50-foot collapsible auxiliary towers, and an elevated monitoring facility with an observation deck.

Gulf Coast Florida Man Says Silent Diamond-Shaped UFO Craft ‘Floated Over Him’

Article by Lauren Fruen and Adrian Zorzut                                          June 10, 2021                                                   (the-sun.com)

• Cape Coral, Florida resident Jose CarrodeguaIn (pictured above) told local station WBBH-TV that on night in early June he spotted a mysterious craft in the sky above him. “I was like holy shit, that’s a UFO.

• “We were just in awe. It was right overhead, floating over us basically. There was no sound. It was magnificent,” said Carrodegua. “Right now in my heart I believe it was definitely something from another planet.”

• Air Force pilot Kevin Russo, interviewed for the news segment, said that the lack of sound from the craft is the “biggest clue” it came from another planet. “We don’t have any silent running aircraft or helicopters that I know of in our world at this time. … it’s probably not from here.”

• Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records show there were no aircraft in the area at the time.

• [Editor’s Note]   Air Force pilot Kevin Russo has obviously never heard of the infamous TR3B anti-gravity triangle craft that has been seen, and not heard, in our skies by many witnesses since the late 1980s. For an in-depth analysis on the history and development of black triangle craft, see this previous ExoArticle: ‘Black Triangle’ UFO Sightings Around the World Span Decades.

Silent black triangle and rectangle craft have often been seen in the skies around Tampa and Ft Meyers, Florida. (Cape Coral is within greater Ft Meyers.) MacDill Air Force base is located between these two cities. See below a 10:20 minute video of Dr. Michael Salla interviewing his insider, “JP”, who has photographed flying rectangles near Tampa. JP claimed in October 2017 that these secret craft are housed at MacDill AFB. JP also discusses being taken aboard a rectangular vehicle at the invitation of USAF Special Operations personnel, and describes his experience inside the flying rectangle.

Jose Carrodegua says he spotted the mysterious craft in Cape Coral, Florida, ahead of the release of a bombshell Pentagon report into alien life.

Carrodegua told local station WBBH-TV: “The light began to separate into two and then come back together.

“It was a black diamond with lights on the side and one red light towards the center, not all the way to the back of the craft.

“I was like holy s**t, that’s a UFO. That’s not nothing from here.

“We were just in awe. It was right overhead, floating over us basically. There was no sound. It was magnificent.”

Carrodegua added: “Right now in my heart I believe it was definitely something from another planet.”

Air Force pilot Kevin Russo told the network the lack of sound from the craft is the “biggest clue” it came from another planet.

He added: “We don’t have any silent running aircraft or helicopters that I know of in our world at this time.

“I would go on the 90 percent side… that it’s probably not from here.”

Study Finds That Humans Would Welcome the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life

Article by Gautam Peddada                                               June 20, 2021                                              (collective-evolution.com)

• Researchers from Arizona State University have performed studies to find out how we humans will deal with it if we make contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life? Will we be terrified? Will we feel threatened? Will we be able to comprehend it? Will we accept it?

• On February 16th, ASU Assistant Professor of Psychology Michael Varnum presented the findings of the most recent study, “How Will We React to the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life?” at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Austin, Texas. Varnum’s conclusion? “If we came face to face with life outside of Earth, we would actually be pretty upbeat about it.”

• A previous pilot study focused on people’s reaction to the discovery alien microbial life on Mars, the periodic dimming around Tabby’s Star, and other Earth-like exoplanets in a star’s habitable zone that could support life as we know it. The pilot study discovered that the language used to depict these events elicited much more positive than negative feelings.

• In a second study, the researchers invited over 500 people to write about their potential reactions to the discovery of alien microbial life ‘considering their individual sentiments as well as those of mankind as a whole’. Again, participants’ replies revealed substantially more positive than negative emotions. “I’d be a little excited about the news,” one participant remarked.

• Varnum’s ASU group gave an additional sample of over 500 people split into two groups. Group One participants read a previous article from The New York Times on probable evidence of ancient microbial life on a Mars meteorite. Group Two participants were given another New York Times article about the development of synthetic human-made life in a lab.

• The responses were considerably more positive about finding of microbial alien life than they were about developing synthetic life. With regard to other planets hosting life, one participant stated, “It’s an intriguing and fascinating discovery that might be only the beginning.”

• Varnum also examined recent media coverage that the interstellar ‘Oumuamua’ asteroid is actually a spacecraft. Here, too, Varnum discovered more positive than negative emotions, implying that humans may react favorably to news of the finding of sentient life elsewhere in the cosmos. “[T]aken together, this implies that if we find out we’re not alone, we’ll take the news rather well.”

 

As the possibilities of a non-human intellect being present on Earth increase on a daily basis, one

                        Michael Varnum

critical question must be addressed: How will we deal with it if we make contact? Will we be terrified if we feel threatened? Will we accept it? Will we be able to comprehend it? Or will we dismiss it as just another item to cope with in our increasingly fast-paced world?

Researchers from Arizona State University performed a study to try to find out the answer, and the article is titled “How Will We React to the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life?”

The researchers looked at how language was used in media coverage of previous announcements of this kind, with an emphasis on alien microbial life (Pilot Study). A large online sample was asked to write about their own and humanity’s reaction to a hypothetical announcement of such a discovery, and another large online sample was asked to read and respond to a news article about the discovery of fossilised extraterrestrial microbial life in a Martian meteorite.

“If we came face to face with life outside of Earth, we would actually be pretty upbeat about it,” said Arizona State University Assistant Professor of Psychology Michael Varnum.
Varnum presented the study’s findings on February 16 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Austin, Texas.

The pilot study’s articles focused on the 1996 discovery of possibly fossilised extraterrestrial Martian microbes, the 2015 discovery of periodic dimming around Tabby’s Star, thought to indicate the presence of an artificially constructed “Dyson sphere,” and the 2017 discovery of Earth-like exoplanets in a star’s habitable zone. The pilot study discovered that the language used to depict these events elicited much more positive than negative feelings.

UFOs Not Likely From Earth, Says Congressman Burchett

June 15, 2021                                                (tmz.com)

• On June 15th, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) was asked about whether the mysterious UFOs being reported by U.S. Navy pilots off of American shores could be Russian. Burchett said that if the Russians had the kind of advanced technology pilots have reported seeing … Putin would already own America. Instead, Burchett thinks the UFOs – seen on video operating in ways defying known laws of physics and gravity – must be something from beyond the Milky Way.

• Burchett was then asked to comment on the unclassified UFO report that is due for release before the end of June. He said that he’s been disappointed with empty promises before about releasing UFO info, and even calls out President Trump for missing the mark. Burchett says that “something’s clearly going on” … but the powers that be think folks can’t handle the truth.

• Burchett suggested that if the highly-anticipated government report doesn’t cough up some real intel, it will only prove why some people believe more in UFOs than in their elected officials. Burchett says it’s time we take UFOs seriously, and he’s got a hunch full disclosure is coming … one way or another.

 

     Rep. Tim Burchett talking with TMZ

Vladimir Putin and Russia are not responsible for the swarm of UFOs being reported

               Russian President Putin

by U.S. Navy pilots, according to Rep. Tim Burchett … who says the aircraft must be from another galaxy!!!

We got the U.S. Congressman from Tennessee on Capitol Hill Tuesday and asked him about the rash of sightings in U.S. airspace or off our shores … and the speculation President Biden plans to raise the issue Wednesday during his Geneva summit with Putin.

Rep. Burchett’s having a hard time believing the Russians are involved. He says if they had the kind of advanced technology pilots have reported seeing … Putin would already own America.

Instead, the Congressman thinks the objects — which are seen on video operating in ways defying known laws of physics and gravity — must be something from beyond the Milky Way.

There’s lots of government chatter about UFOs these days, with intelligence officials expected to release an unclassified report for the first time before the end of June. Burchett says he’s been disappointed with empty promises before about releasing UFO info … and even calls out former Prez Trump for missing the mark.

Elizondo Insists That UFOs Aren’t Ours, Theirs, or Alien

Article by Bhaswati Guha Majumder                                          June 10, 2021                                                  (swarajyamag.com)

• Luis Elizondo (pictured above), the former head of the Pentagon’s UFO research program, told the Washington Post that UFOs have frequently rendered our nuclear weapons unusable. “We’ve had incidents where these UAPs have interfered and actually brought offline our nuclear capabilities.” Given the fact that nuclear technologies in the US are being phased out, some might say this is a good thing. But Elizondo says that he has data showing that UFOs have actually put nukes online in other countries, which is “just as concerning”. At any rate, these UFOs certainly have an interest in America’s nuclear technology, and have the capacity to tamper with it.

• Elizondo noted that UFOs also have some sort of connection with, and have a tendency to be seen in and around water.

• Elizondo then turned the subject to UFO’s hypersonic velocity and their ability to change directions instantly. “[H]uman beings can withstand about 9 G forces or some of our best aircraft can withstand about 16 Gs. These things are doing 3-, 4-, 600 Gs in mid-flight,” he said. And at these hypersonic speeds, they can make a 90 degree turn. “To put that into context, our SR-71 Blackbird when at 3,200 miles an hour wants to take a right-hand turn, it takes roughly half the state of Ohio to do it,” said Elizondo.

• According to Elizondo, the third main technological capacity found among UFOs is cloaking technology.

• Elizondo’s remarks came after a sneak peek at a Pentagon assessment on UFOs, which is due to be disclosed by June 25th, which purportedly revealed no concrete evidence of extraterrestrial technology underpinning the bizarre aerial phenomena. If it isn’t alien technology, then that leaves two alternatives. Either this is secret US technology that we’ve managed to keep secret even from ourselves, or Russia and/or China have leap-frogged our own technological development, which has escaped the attention of our entire intelligence apparatus.

• Elizondo says that the new Pentagon investigation will rule out the possibility that these UFO sightings are linked to US technology. Furthermore, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe announced definitively that this is not Russian technology.

• So, that leaves China. But Chinese officials recently stated that the Chinese military is now using artificial intelligence to investigate UFOs after being “overwhelmed” by UFO reports. It is unnatural for an authoritarian state like China to admit to a lack of control over national security matters, said Marik von Rennenkampff, a former analyst with the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation at the US Department of State. And it is not likely to be part of a deception campaign by Beijing. According to von Rennenkampff, China is equally baffled by some of the same UFO events as the United States. China has struggled to produce engines for its fifth-generation fighter aircraft. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that they have managed to develop flying saucers.

• Elizondo pointed out that there have been reports of UFO sightings since the 1950s. It doesn’t make sense that in 1950 China would have mastered this beyond next-generation technology to be able to fly anywhere on the face of the planet, but has managed to keep it as a secret for 70 years. Also, China has a habit of stealing technology from the US. “So, one has to ask the question that if…a country had this technology, would it be necessary to steal…much more basic technology from another country?”

• [Editor’s Note]   Oh, well if the government says that the US doesn’t possess UFO technology, then that’s good enough for me. The US government/ military industrial complex/ deep state would never lie to us, would they? The US intelligence community would never use the Senate Committee’s report to further the deep state’s agenda of hiding the fact that the US government has secretly possessed extraterrestrial anti-gravity electromagnetic propulsion and cloaking technology since the 1950s, would they? Of course not. And a former CIA counter-intelligence official like Elizondo would never be a part of that agenda, would he? So the mind-controlled, brain-dead American public will simply have to accept that the UFOs we’ve seen are not ours, not theirs, and not alien in origin. And if they did not come from anywhere, then they must not exist at all. The only answer then is mass hallucination. This makes perfect sense. Thank you Lue for clearing that up.

 

                         John Ratcliffe

Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), said in a recent interview that unidentified flying objects or UFOs have frequently rendered nuclear weapons unusable in the United States.

While referring to UFOs by their official Pentagon term, Unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), Elizondo told Washington Post: “We’ve had incidents where these UAPs have interfered and actually brought offline our nuclear capabilities”.

“I think to some they would probably say, well, that’s a sign that whatever this is, is something that is peaceful,” Elizondo said of the fact that nuclear technologies in the United States are being phased out.

“But in the same context, we also have data suggesting that in other countries these things have interfered with their nuclear technology and actually turned them on, put them online. So that is equally, for me, just as concerning,” he added.

According to his understanding, there is enough evidence at this point to show that there is an interest in America’s nuclear technology, as well as the capacity to tamper with it.

The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), which was formed last summer by the Pentagon to examine odd aerial phenomena, has taken the role of the now-defunct AATIP.

The former AATIP director claimed that there are some common traits among UFO sightings.

“We see an interest in our nuclear capabilities, and then we have this really bizarre…I don’t know if you call it an interest, but there seems to be a connection with water, and these things have a tendency to be seen in and around water,” said Elizondo.

He also shared other observations on the technological capabilities implied by UFO sightings.

                       SR-71 Blackbird

Elizondo told the American news outlet: “The first is hypersonic velocity. The ability to change directions instantly”.

“And when I say instantly, I mean human beings can withstand about 9 G forces or some of our best aircraft can withstand about 16 Gs. These things are doing 3-, 4-, 600 Gs in mid-flight,” he added.

He also noted UFOs’ hypersonic speeds.

Elizondo explained that “you know, there are [some known human] technologies that can go that fast, but then again, you don’t expect a hypersonic aircraft to do a 90-degree turn”.

“To put that into context, our SR-71 Blackbird when at 3,200 miles an hour wants to take a right-hand turn, it takes roughly half the state of Ohio to do it,” he added.

According to him, the third main technological capacity found among UFOs is cloaking technology.
