Duke Brickhouse is a former trial lawyer and entertainment attorney who has refocused his life’s work to exposing the truth of our subjugated planet and to help raise humanity’s collective consciousness at this crucial moment in our planet’s history, in order to break out of the dark and negative false reality that is preventing the natural development of our species, to put our planet on a path of love, light and harmony in preparation for our species’ ascension to a fourth density, and to ultimately take our rightful place in the galactic community.

Devil’s Tower UFO Rendezvous Begins

by Al Van Zee                      September 12, 2018                       (keloland.com)

• UFO enthusiasts are gathering for ‘The Devil’s Tower UFO Rendezvous’ this weekend in Hulett, Wyoming, the site made famous by the Spielberg movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”.

• UFO investigator David Marler says that people have been seeing strange sights in the sky for a very long time and there is compelling evidence that intelligently operated UFOs are real. “[I]t goes beyond just eyewitness testimony. Many of these cases including military cases, involve radar and I mean multiple radar; ground-based radar, airborne radar, airborne visual sightings, ground-based visual sightings,” Marler said.

• Several astronauts have also reported airborne objects they couldn’t identify. “When you have much corroborative testimony, you have to look at this in a serious light and try to figure out what we’re dealing with,” says Marler.

Above our heads at night are millions of stars with millions of planets that scientists now say stand a good chance of containing life. There may even be intelligent life.

But the important question is: has it paid us a visit?

It’s a subject that will be reviewed in depth at the Devils Town UFO Rendezvous. That location was chosen because of a movie called Close Encounters of the Third Kind which was filmed there 41 years ago.

The storyline is that an alien civilization chose to make contact with the human race at this formation in the northwestern Black Hills.

That’s fiction of course. But people have been seeing strange sights in the sky for a very long time. And some UFO investigators such as David Marler think there is compelling evidence that they are real.

“And it goes beyond just eyewitness testimony. Many of these cases including military cases, involve radar and I mean multiple radar; ground-based radar, airborne radar, airborne visual sightings, ground-based visual sightings,” Author and UFO Investigator David Marler said.

Several astronauts have also reported airborne objects they couldn’t identify.

“When you have much corroborative testimony, you have to look at this in a serious light and try to figure out what we’re dealing with,” Marler said.

Scientists Suggest Closest Exoplanet to Earth May Sustain Life

September 13, 2018                        (sputniknews.com)

• After studying eighteen computer simulations, scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City have determined that the exoplanet Proxima Centauri b, which orbits the closest star to the sun, has enormous seas of liquid water on its surface that may harbor living organisms according to research published by the journal Astrobiology.

• Anthony Del Genio, a planetary scientist at the Goddard institute, said, “The major message from our [computer] simulations is that there’s a decent chance that the planet [Proxima Centauri b] would be habitable.”

• Proxima Centauri b was discovered in 2016 and has a mass that is at least 1.3 times that of Earth.

 

US scientists have found that the exoplanet Proxima Centauri b, which orbits the closest star to the sun, may harbor living organisms thanks to enormous seas of liquid water on its surface, according to research published by the journal Astrobiology.

“The major message from our [computer] simulations is that there’s a decent chance that the planet [Proxima Centauri b] would be habitable,” Anthony Del Genio, a planetary scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City, pointed out.

He explained that the team of scientists conducted a total of 18 separate computer simulation scenarios, and that in almost all of them, Proxima Centauri b was seen having an open ocean which persisted over at least some part of the exoplanet’s surface.

“The larger the proportion of the planet with liquid water, the better the odds are that if there’s life there; we can find evidence of that life with future telescopes,” Del Genio noted.

His remarks came amid astronomers’ efforts to find out more about Proxima Centauri b, which was discovered in 2016 and has a mass that is at least 1.3 times that of Earth.

From the X-Files – Is the Pentagon Hiding UFOs in a Las Vegas Hangar?

September 9, 2018                       (dailygalaxy.com)

• “Disclosure is not an event, it’s a process,” said Luis Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP). “My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone.”

• Elizondo left the Pentagon program in October of last year, saying that the government was not taking UFO sightings by the military seriously enough. The Pentagon admitted the existence of AATIP, but claimed it was discontinued in 2012. But in an interview with The (UK’s) Sunday Times, Elizondo reports that the program was never wound up and continued to monitor UFO sightings until as recently as last October when he quit.

• On the northern edge of the Las Vegas sprawl where city meets desert is the headquarters of Bigelow Aerospace, a company that plans to launch and sell its own space stations and build a space hotel and a lunar base. Armed sentries guard the building which may hold exotic “metamaterials” – synthetic materials with composite structures that exhibit properties not found naturally materials – of a crashed UFO spacecraft, according to Elizondo. (see image below) From 2007 to 2011, Bigelow Aerospace, a company founded by Robert Bigelow, 73, an entrepreneur and self-avowed ufologist, was paid $22 million by the Department of Defense.

• Former Nevada Senator, Harry Reid, was the point man in funding the Pentagon program and Bigelow Aerospace. Reid said, “I had talked to (astronaut) John Glenn a number of years before. [Glenn] thought that the federal government should be looking seriously into UFOs, and should be talking to military service members, particularly pilots, who had reported seeing aircraft they could not identify or explain.”

• When the existence of the Pentagon UFO program was released late last year, the secret was out. Most questions, such as where the money went, and what Bigelow is closely guarding in Las Vegas, have remained unanswered. The conspiracy website, Abovetopsecret.com, reported that Bigelow approached Mufon in 2008 with a business proposal to buy its database of UFO sightings and archive of evidence, including quite possibly alien artifacts, for $672,000. By November 2009, $334,000 of it had been paid.

• “Captured alloys and material from UFOs — that has to be alien, right?” says John Greenewald of the Black Vault website. “This rivals the Roswell debris going to Hangar 18.”

• “Internationally, we are the most backward country in the world on this issue,” says Bigelow. “Our scientists are scared of being ostracized, and our media is scared of the stigma. China and Russia are much more open and work on this with huge organizations within their countries. Smaller countries like Belgium, France, England and South American countries like Chile are more open, too. They are proactive and willing to discuss this topic, rather than being held back by a juvenile taboo.”

 

“Disclosure has already occurred. Disclosure is not an event, it’s a process,” said Luis Elizondo, former head of a hitherto unknown government operation called the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP). “My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone.”

On the northern edge of the Las Vegas sprawl where city meets desert, a vast building resembling a giant hangar, the headquarters of Bigelow Aerospace, a company that plans to launch and sell its own space stations and, more ambitiously, build a space hotel and a lunar base, occupies a 50-acre city block . This is the headquarters of Bigelow Aerospace, a company that plans to launch and sell its own space stations and, more ambitiously, build a space hotel and a lunar base. Today, the hangar doors are closed and tumbleweed now blows across the car parks.

The perimeter is secured with razor wire and concrete barriers, and the only staff visible from outside are armed guards, hiding inside what’s speculated to be salvage of a crashed extraterrestrial object –commonly known as a UFO.

Residents of the neat residential streets say security was tightened at Bigelow Aerospace late last year when it was revealed by the New York Times and Washington post that the company was paid by the Pentagon to store parts recovered from crashed “unidentified aerial phenomena” — military-speak for UFOs — exotic materials believed to be alloys that defied scientific analysis and physically affected those who came into contact with them.

                              Robert Bigelow

Not since 1947, when the US army said it had found a crashed UFO near Roswell, New Mexico, but in fact proved to be a weather balloon had the government come so close to admitting we are not alone in the vast reaches of the Milky Way.

But to date, there has been no retraction of the latest story of Pentagon UFO intrigue. Questioned about the events, the Pentagon has maintained an information blackout, as has Bigelow Aerospace. With no new leads, websites normally regarded as outlets for conspiracy theorists have turned up intriguing new evidence and stolen a march on America’s mainstream media.

The strange story of the salvaged UFOs began with the abrupt resignation last autumn of a senior Pentagon official, reports Nick Rufford for The Times of London. Luis Elizondo was the head of a hitherto unknown government operation called the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP), run by a team of 12, based on the fifth floor of the Pentagon called C-ring.

In a parting letter to Jim Mattis, the US defence secretary, Elizondo said the government was not taking sightings of unidentified craft by American warplanes seriously enough.

“Why aren’t we spending more time and effort on this issue? There remains a vital need to ascertain capability and intent of these phenomena for the benefit of the armed forces and the nation.” Elizondo’s leaked letter blew the lid off what was, in effect, a clandestine government UFO-watching unit, infuriating the Pentagon’s top brass. In a terse statement, the Pentagon admitted the existence of AATIP without mentioning the UFO connection: the program, it said, was set up “to assess far-term, foreign advanced aerospace threats to the United States”, it said, and was discontinued in 2012 to make way for “other higher priority issues”.

Since then, Elizondo, whose impeccable credentials were confirmed by The Washington Post, has remained largely silent on the subject. But in an interview with The Sunday Times, he reports that the program was never wound up and continued to monitor UFO sightings until as recently as last October, when he quit. In the fascinating video below emphatically states that “disclosure has already occurred. Disclosure is not an event, it’s a process.

Planet Nine May Exist, But It Might Be Hiding Behind Neptune

by Chris Ciaccia                  September 3, 2018                   (foxnews.com)

• NASA continues its search for “Planet Nine”. In October 2017, NASA released a statement saying “it is now harder to imagine our solar system without a Planet Nine than with one.” Scientists now believe that a 9th planet ten times the mass of Earth does exist.

• NASA estimates that Planet Nine is 20 times further from the Sun than Neptune. At 93 million miles from the Sun, it would be 160,000 times dimmer than Neptune, making it impossible to see using current technology.

• Michael Brown from the California Institute of Technology thinks Planet Nine will eventually be found, but it will take significantly stronger telescopes and planet finding technology than currently exist.

• Caltech planetary astrophysicist Konstantin Batygin notes that six Kuiper Belt objects all have elliptical orbits and are tilted downward at a 30 degree angle. Computer simulations show there are likely more objects “tilted with respect to the solar plane.”

• Planet Nine could be responsible for the 6 degree tilt of the planets in our solar system compared to the Sun’s equator.

• Also, some objects from the Kuiper Belt orbit in the opposite direction from everything else in the solar system. “No other model can explain the weirdness of these high-inclination orbits,” says Batygin. “These things have been twisted out of the solar system plane with help from Planet Nine and then scattered inward by Neptune.”

• In June 2016, Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin published a nine-page paper entitled “Observational Constraints on the Orbit and Location of Planet Nine in the Outer Solar System”.

 

Evidence for Planet Nine continues to mount, but there may be a good reason why scientists have yet to find it – it may be hiding.

In October 2017, NASA released a statement saying that Planet Nine may be 20 times further from the Sun than Neptune is, going so far as to say “it is now harder to imagine our solar system without a Planet Nine than with one.”

Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin

But the reason it may not yet have been found is due to that same distance. At that distance, the equivalent, of 600 astronomical units (1 AU is defined as the distance between the Earth and the Sun, or approximately 93 million miles), it would be 160,000 times dimmer than Neptune is. Kevin Luhman, an astronomer at Pennsylvania State University, told Quanta Magazine by way of the Washington Post that at 1,000 AU, it’s a “brick wall, basically,” making any potential planet next to impossible to see using current technology.

 

NASA SAYS EVIDENCE FOR ‘PLANET NINE’ IS MOUNTING

However, scientists believe the possibility of another planet, one which may have “10 times the mass of Earth,” does indeed exist.

“Every time we take a picture, there is this possibility that Planet Nine exists in the shot,” Surhud More, associate professor in Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe at the University of Tokyo, told Quanta Magazine.

Slashgear reports that it could take up to 1,000 years before the planet is found.

Michael Brown from the California Institute of Technology has said he thinks “Planet Nine” will eventually be found, but it will take significantly stronger telescopes and planet finding technology than currently exist.

UFOs Around the World: Denmark

by Robbie Graham                   August 29, 2018                     (mysteriousuniverse.org)

• Over the next several weeks, this writer, Robbie Graham, will conduct interviews with leading UFO researchers from countries around the world. This week, Robbie interviews Pia Knudsen in Denmark.

• In 2009, Knudsen co-founded Exopoltics Denmark, which now operates as UFO Denmark. Knudsen has been interviewed on national radio and television; she has written articles on the UFO topic and lectured in both the UK and Norway. Her’s is the only group currently organizing and sponsoring an annual UFO conference featuring international speakers.

• There seems to be an increase in contact cases in Denmark. Nowadays social media plays a key role in connecting people who seek information. Very rarely do people see disc-shaped UFOs. It is mainly orbs being reported. Knudsen has had several of her own UFO sightings.

• Pia identifies Major H. C. Petersen as a pioneer in Danish ufology. In 1952, Petersen was sent to Wright Patterson Airforce base in Ohio for training where he was astonished to learn that the Americans took the UFO topic seriously. The young officer became convinced that UFOs were real and was profoundly influenced by the teachings of George Adamski. In 1957, he founded Denmark’s first UFO group, Scandinavian UFO Information (SUFOI). Petersen passed away in 2013.

• Knudsen describes a compelling Danish UFO case when a police officer, Evald Maarup Hansen spotted a UFO above his police car on a remote country road in 1970, and again in 1973. Both the car and police radio shut down but he managed to take photos of the object. At the time, Air Force radar operator Nis Krog picked up the object on radar corroborating Hansen’s account.

• Amid great media hype, the Danish air force released their UFO files in January 2009. However, of the reported 15,000 files that the air force had collected since the 1950’s, only 228 case files were actually released. The government claims that all of the files from before 1978 are missing. The air force now refers all UFO incidents to the SUFOI UFO group and the government no longer comments on the topic.

 

Over the next several weeks, I’ll be conducting interviews with leading UFO researchers from countries around the world in an effort to paint a picture of global UFOlogy today.

This week, our global UFO trek takes us to Denmark, and to Pia Knudsen. Pia has had an interest in UFOs since a childhood sighting in British Columbia, Canada. In 2009 Pia co-founded Exopoltics Denmark, which now operates as UFO Denmark. Pia has been interviewed on national radio and for the National Geographic channel; she has written articles on the UFO topic and lectured in both the UK and Norway. In her current role as director of UFO Denmark, Pia says that she “strives to make the best research and documentation available for the Danish public.”

          Pia Knudsen

RG: Who have been the defining figures in Danish UFOlogy over the past 70 years (for better or for worse), and why?

PK: Major H. C. Petersen was a pioneer in Danish ufology, founding the first nationwide UFO group, Scandinavian UFO Information (SUFOI), in 1957.

As a captain lieutenant in 1952, Hans Christian Petersen was sent to Wright Patterson Airforce base in Ohio for training. During his stay, Petersen became astonished to learn that the Americans took the UFO topic seriously. Project Blue Book had headquarters at the base and the young officer became convinced that UFOs were real. In the mid-1950s, Petersen had his own UFO radar sighting at Skydstrup Airforce base, which fueled a lifelong interest in UFOs. Due to disagreements regarding George Adamski, H. C. Peterson left the SUFOI group in 1965 and went on to create a second group, IGAP (International Get Acquainted Program) to promote Adamski’s teachings. Both UFO groups still exist. While the SUFOI group has become increasingly skeptical of the topic and refers to UFOs as a myth with earthly explanations for all sightings, the IGAP group is slowly diminishing and now has very few members. H. C. Petersen passed away in 2013.

Early Danish UFO groups include UFO-Fyn, DISC and Nordisk UFO Organization. FUFOS (Frederiksberg UFO Studygroup) had quite a following in the 1970s, promoting not only UFOs but a mix of topics. The group eventually changed its name and focus; it seldom focusses on UFOs nowadays.

In 2009 I co-founded the Exopolitics Denmark group, focusing on political and environmental activism surrounding UFOs. Each year we invite leading researchers to Denmark. In 2014, you [Robbie Graham] joined George Knapp and Terje Toftenes in Copenhagen to speak about UFOs and the media. Other speakers have included Richard Dolan, Robert Hastings, Timothy Good, Suzy Hansen, Gary Heseltine, Jeremey Corbell, Mary Rodwell, Steven Bassett, A. J. Gevaerd and more. In May 2018, Grant Cameron visited both Copenhagen and Kolding.

In late-2017, Exopolitics Denmark voted to change its name to UFO Denmark. We now have a broader focus to create debate and provide information surrounding the UFO topic.

RG: What do you consider to be the most compelling Danish UFO incident on record, and why?

PK: Police officer Evald Maarup Hansen twice spotted a UFO above his police car on a remote country road in 1970, and again in 1973. Both the car and police radio shut down during the event, but Evald Maarup managed to take three pictures of object. He reluctantly spoke about the event after collegues had contacted the media. In 2010 I located a radar operator, Nis Krog, who had been on duty at the nearby Skydstrup Airforce Base and had seen an unidentified object on his radar at the time and in the area Maarup had his encounter. This case was included in a National Geographic documentary I worked on in 2013 and Nis Krog went public for the first time confirming his radar observations.

RG: What is the Danish government’s official stance on UFOs? When was the last time it issued a statement on the subject?

PK: The Danish air force released their UFO files in January 2009. There was a big hype in the press. The air force stated that they had collected 15,000 files since the mid-fifties but in fact only released 228 cases on the day. They claimed all files from before 1978 had gone missing. On average, 250 cases were reported each year, so I estimate that 7,500 cases should have been released in 2009. No members of the press or the SUFOI UFO group questioned why so few cases were released. The air force’s offical website recommends all new incoming cases be reported to the SUFOI group. I have done much more research into the file release and have an article on the subject. The government no longer comments on the topic.

A Mysterious Square Aircraft Hovering in Night Sky ‘Scared Me to Death,’ NC Man Says

by Mark Price                   September 3, 2018                      (charlotteobserver.com)

• Javion Hill of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, was driving along a highway southwest of Charlotte, NC on the evening of August 18th during a rain storm when he noticed something square hovering above the tree line, with its edges fringed in lights. Hill was able to take several photos of the object while driving. When he pulled over at an exit to get a better photo, the object had disappeared.

• Hill says it’s possible what he saw was a military craft. Conspiracy theorists maintain many UFO sightings in the region are actually an experimental military anti-gravity spacecraft based nearby in Fort Bragg, Pope Field, or Camp Lejeune.

• North Carolina has had 7,570 reported UFO sightings since 1940. According to Casino.org, the odds of seeing a UFO in NC is 1 in 135,500.

• [Editor’s Note]   Dr Michael Salla has revealed that the MacDill Air Force base near Tampa, Florida is home to not only the famed TR3B triangle anti-gravity craft, but to a new rectangular craft as well. See articles: “Covert Disclosure of Antigravity Craft Near MacDill AFB” (Oct 20, 2017) and “Insiders Reveal Details of NASA & USAF Secret Space Programs” (Aug 28, 2018).

 

Another alleged UFO sighting near Charlotte has appeared on Facebook and in this case, it was posted by a husband and father who says he doesn’t necessarily believe in UFOs.

Javion Hill, 35, of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, says he took several photos of the object during a storm on the night of Aug. 18, as he drove on U.S. 74 southwest of Charlotte.

                Javion Hill with his wife

The images feature something square hovering above the treeline, with its edges fringed in lights. Hill told the Charlotte Observer the craft frightened him to the point that he didn’t sleep that night.

“I was on my way home with my wife on the speaker phone, and it looked like there was a tornado coming, so I was trying to take a picture of the clouds for my wife,” says Hill.

“But then I saw something that wasn’t normal and I was, like: ‘Oh my god, what is that?’ I started trying to take as many pictures of it as possible while I was driving.” 

Hill says he pulled over at the next exit to try and get video, but the aircraft had vanished. A heavy rain followed instantly, he said.

Amateur Astronomer ‘Captures 35 UFOs Zooming Through Space’ While Examining Moon

by Callum Hoare                    September 5, 2018                      (dailystar.co.uk)

• Amateur astronomer, Alessio, in Rome, Italy, was using a small telescope to video record the surface of the Moon on August 1st when he recorded several dozen UFOs flying across the screen. (see 1:18 minute video below on YouTube channel The Hidden Underbelly)

 

A video was shot by amateur astronomer Alessio in Rome, Italy, which may prove aliens are real.

The man was using a small telescope to take a closer look at the lunar surface when he noticed a number of anomalies fly across the screen.

He detailed that there is no possibility they could be bugs or birds due to the altitude they were captured at.

Alessio says he was recording on August 1, a day after the Blood Moon, to get a good look in the clear weather.

The clip was shared on YouTube channel The Hidden Underbelly yesterday, where it has racked up more than 3,200 hits already.

And viewers were quick to share their opinions.

“Very odd, they don’t look or behave like birds, being the first thing people will say, other than that they’re all flying in the same direction,” one comment revealed.

Another added: “Wow! This is incredible! This video validates many claims of military bases on the moon or in space.

“Or could it be an alien school of UFOs?”

‘Alien Spaceship’ Shot Down Over Scotland

by Sean Martin                     September 3, 2018                           (express.co.uk)

• The YouTube channel UFO Today released a video of a UFO over Kippen, Scotland as seen on the evening of September 1st (see 1:42 video below). Although completely silent except for a loud bang at the beginning, it appears that the UFO is in distress as it circles back and forth as it leaks some sort of strange glowing material.

• The video was shot by an unnamed woman in Scotland who sent it to the YouTube channel. One YouTube commenter points out that a smaller UFO (escape pod?) breaks off and goes upward toward the end of the video. Another commenter suggests that it “came through the portal too fast and lost control?”

• Others explain the sighting as sparklers attached to a kite. (You be the judge.)

• [Editor’s Note]   Is this more evidence of a war being fought over our heads between the cabal’s secret space program and the breakaway Alliance SSP forces?

 

Conspiracy theorists believed they hit the jackpot when a video emerged of something strange circling in the night sky over Kippen, Scotland.

The bizarre footage, which was shot on September 1, shows something floating around in the sky with a strange material seemingly leaking from it.

This prompted conspiracy theorists to believe that it was a UFO which had been shot down.

The video was shot by an unnamed woman in Scotland who sent it through to popular conspiracy theorist channel UFO Today.

The description on the video reads: “The object was dropping a lot of glowing material while flying. She did know what this object was, but she was sure this was not something man made.

“It did not produce any sound at all. When I analysed the footage I noticed the object ejected a lot of material.”

Many of UFO Today’s followers were convinced the footage was of genuine UFO activity.

YouTuber David Leach wrote: “Excellent viewing. Leaking a lot of material. Near the end it looks like a smaller UFO breaks off and goes upward.

Starman 2710 added: “Came through the portal to fast and lost control?”

AKIJPN continued: “Definitely looks like some flying object is flying loosing its control. Amazing.”

Extraterrestrial Tourism Posters Make Us Believe

by Alejandro Rojas                   August 28, 2018                      (denofgeek.com)

• The online travel fare aggregator Orbitz asks, “Sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects has happened for millennia. Is it life from other planets? Are we alone in the universe?”

• Orbitz selected ten UFO sightings from across the globe and created vibrant posters illustrating and explaining the events. The ten are:

1. DISKS OF FIRE, Ancient Egypt, 1440 BC – The scribes of Pharaoh Thutmose III report unearthly fiery disks floating over the skies…. Do they come in peace to observe, or to do battle?

2. GALACTIC GLOBE FALLS TO EARTH, Italy, 91 BC – Roman writer, Julius Obsequens, reports a potential threat from outer space. Terrifying noises come from the sky as a globe of fire gyrates towards earth, lands, and then rises again, making its way east.

3. JUDGEMENT DAY, Germany, 776 – Saxon invaders besieging the Sigiburg Castle flee in horror when they encounter a spacecraft in the skies. Eyewitnesses report the craft to bear the likeness of two large flaming shields.

4. THEY CAME FROM THE STARS… TO FIGHT FOR PLANET EARTH, Germany, 1561 – Citizens of Nuremberg witness an epic battle. Blood-red circular arcs and globes fly back and forth, fighting each other for more than an hour, until all the crafts fall to the earth and burn with black smoke.

5. THAT’S NO MOON, England, 1801 – Reports emerge of a mysterious moon-like globe appearing in the sky, which bathes Hull in a mysterious blue light. Suddenly and without warning, it splits into seven fireballs. No traces are left behind.

6. SHE CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, Japan, 1803 (featured image above) – Local fishermen spot an unusual vessel adrift and tow it to land. A woman with red and white hair appears. She speaks a language utterly foreign to them. They return her and her vessel to the sea, and she drifts away.

7. THEY’RE HERE, USA, 1947 – In Roswell, New Mexico, the US Armed Air Forces encounter a crashed flying saucer and capture its alien occupants. The military engage in a cover-up, and continue to deny the encounter to this day.

8. YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE, USA, 1952 – In Flatwoods, West Virginia, eyewitnesses see a bright object cross the sky and land. They gather a group to investigate and encounter a 10 foot mutant, who glides towards them hissing. They run for their lives.

9. ATTACK OF THE TENTACLED TORMENTOR, South Africa, 1996 – In Erasmuskloof, Pretoria, a glowing disc emitting bright green tentacles is spotted by police. A helicopter is dispatched and a chase ensues. The mysterious craft makes a vertical ascent and evades capture.

10. SPIRALING LIGHTS HAUNT SCANDINAVIAN SKIES, Norway & Sweden, 2009 – A spiraling light is spotted in the night sky. The light vanishes, as what looks to be a wormhole opens up. Russian authorities claim the anomaly is the result of a failed missile test, but many doubt this explanation.

 

According to the travel fare aggregate Orbitz, “we are not alone,” and they have a list of places aliens may have already visited on Earth you can visit too.

“We selected 10 intriguing sightings from across the globe and created vibrant posters illustrating and explaining the events that took place,” according to an Orbitz representative. “Sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects has happened for millennia. Is it life from other planets? Are we alone in the universe? Have a look at these engaging posters and decide for yourself.“

The alleged events of extraterrestrial visitation Orbitz have decided to highlight in their posters span from Ancient Egypt in 1440 B.C., to Norway in 2009. The collection includes the famous Roswell, New Mexico event when alien visitation went awry. In 1947, an alleged alien spacecraft crashed outside of Roswell in 1947. However, the majority of the rest of the events featured in the posters are much more obscure, including the most recent incident.

In 2009, witnesses saw and photographed a beautiful giant glowing swirl in the skies. Many speculated that a massive portal to another dimension had been activated. Astronomers and scientists said it was a rocket mishap and the swirl effect was due to rocket fuel leaking in a swirling pattern as the rocket spun in the air.

The later is the most likely explanation, and examples of similar rocket failures including the swirling phenomenon have been recorded before. Of course, there are those who are skeptical of this more mundane theory, which is understandable. It is more fun to think it is a dimensional portal.

UFO Sighting at Gloucester Railway Line Comes to Light 70 Years Later

by Kim Horton                    August 26, 2018                     (gloucestershirelive.co.uk)

• The owner of a book store in Gloucester, England, Goeff Cook, tells the story of a neighbor who was always interested in books about science fiction and UFOs. In 1980 after this man died, Cook asked the fellow’s son why his father was so interested in other worlds and aliens. The son recounted what his father had told him about a UFO experience he’d had.

• The father had been working the night shift at the railroad, buckling up carriages to the driver’s cab. He and a fellow railroad worker had finished their work and by early morning they’d gone into the driver’s cab to have a cup of tea. Suddenly a bright light came from the sky and a circular craft the length of two buses hovered about thirty feet above them. It remained hovering in the sky for about 20 minutes. They boy’s father says he just stared up at the craft, while his companion was so scared he vomited. Finally, the craft shot away out of sight. The railroad workers never reported the incident for fear that they would be accused of being drunk and lose their jobs.

• [Editor’s Note]  There seems to be more and more accounts, between the 1940’s to the 1970’s, of all types of strange UFO craft and even stranger non-human people or creatures visiting the Earth. These encounters drop off sharply in the 1980’s, just when the US Navy’s ‘Solar Warden’ fleet of eight spacecraft were initially deployed to intercept and prevent these types of unauthorized craft from visiting the planet.

 

Tales of UFOs are not as rare as you might think.

But sometimes – like now – a story about a sighting may come to light years later, as it was frowned upon to talk about such things back then.

Quayside Books shop owner Geoff Cook has been a resident in Gloucester for years and in 1980 was a resident at Priory Road.

His neighbour was always interested in books about science fiction and UFOs. Sadly the neighbour passed away and it led to Geoff and his neighbour’s son striking up a conversation as to why his father was so interested in other worlds and aliens.

Mr Cook said: “I was curious as to why this chap was so interested in sci-fi and eventually after sometime his son related the story to me. He did initially say that his father had an experience that he did not like to talk about.

“It turns out that the father had been working at the Over railway. They used to use the line there to make up the trains for the next day. A lot of the trains would be used the next day to go to South Wales.

“So they would buckle up the carriages to the drivers cab and when they had finished their work for the day their time was their own.”

The workmen had finished their work for the nightshift and went into the drivers cab to have a cup of tea. What happened next was something that they had both agreed to not discuss again.

Mr Cook said: “So whilst they were having a cup of tea in the early hours of the morning they had this experience. It is very hard to believe but this bright light came out of the sky.

“A circular craft hovered around 30 feet in the sky above them in the craft. The other workman vomited instantly as he was so frightened. The UFO was described as being two buses long.”

People often describe UFO sightings as a brief encounter. However this was not the case this time.

Mr Cook said: “The UFO was there for an estimated 15 to 20 minutes. Whilst the other man was being sick the other chap could not believe what he was seeing and just kept looking up at this bright light.

“After all this time which seemed like an eternity with no acceleration it went at speed and was just gone.

“They never reported it and it went unrecorded as they were fearful that they would get sacked and accused of being drunk on the job.

“It is quite unbelievable but I do believe that the source is genuine and it took years to be able to get the full version of events.”

This Scoutmaster Had a Run-in with a UFO. The Kids Saw it Too.

by Colin Bertram                 August 21, 2018                      (history.com)

• On a hot and humid evening of August 19, 1952, Scoutmaster D.S. “Sonny” DesVergers, 30, was driving a group of Boy Scouts home when he saw a bright light flash over Military Trail near West Palm Beach, Florida, in a dense palmetto grove in the South Florida Everglades. DesVergers pulled onto the shoulder of the highway entered the grove with a machete and a flashlight to take a closer look, leaving the young scouts in the car.

• DesVergers reached a clearing in the grove and immediately smelled a nauseating smell. Then he felt an oven-like heat coming from above. Looking up he saw that he was standing beneath a hovering object – circular, 30 feet in diameter with a height of 10 feet, a convex dome, and the bottom edge was lit with a phosphorescent glow.

• DesVergers saw and heard the hatch on the “ship” open. A red, flare-like light came from the side of the craft and slowly moved toward him. As he slowly moved backward, he covered his face with his hands as the red ball of light grew into a red mist engulfing him until he lost consciousness.

• When he awoke an hour later, DesVergers was leaning against a tree and his eyes burned. He ran back to the highway where he was met by the boys and local authorities. One of the boys said that he had seen a semi-circle of white lights descending into the trees, and then a red light. That’s when the boys ran to a nearby farmhouse to call the Palm Beach County deputy’s office. The deputy on the scene said, “In all my 19 years of law-enforcement work, I’ve never seen anyone as terrified as [DesVergers] was.”

• DesVergers and the boys were questioned at the Sheriff’s Office. The hair on DesVergers’ forearms was singed, his skin burned, and there were three tiny burn holes in the bill of the scoutmaster’s cap.

• The incident eventually made its way to the lead UFO investigator for the US Air Force and Blue Book chief, Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, who would later call the event “the best hoax in UFO history”. DesVergers was painted as an opportunist and media-hungry conman who sold his story to The American Weekly newspaper the following year.

• Ruppelt’s team took grass and soil specimens at the site. When tested, agronomists noted that while the soil remained intact, the root structure of the plants and the lower leaves were charred black and deteriorated by heat.

• The DesVergers incident remains one of the most intriguing UFO cases in the Air Force’s now-declassified Project Blue Book. The Air Force was never able to prove the incident was a hoax, and to this day, it is still unsolved.

 

On a humid, August night in 1952, scoutmaster D.S. “Sonny” DesVergers emerged burned and barely coherent from a dense palmetto grove in the South Florida Everglades. He claimed he had encountered an unidentified flying object that discharged a fireball, which left him singed and barely able to see.

Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, chief UFO investigator for the U.S. Air Force, would later label the event “the best hoax in UFO history.” But the DesVergers incident remains one of the most intriguing cases from Project Blue Book, the Air Force’s now-declassified investigations into UFOs—because it wasn’t just a sighting incident, but one involving a purported attack. To this day, it’s still unsolved.

Cue appropriately spooky “X-Files” music.

A series of investigations conducted by the U.S. Air Force between 1952 and 1969, Project Blue Book was tasked with scientifically analyzing UFO-related incidents to determine whether they were a threat to national security. Some say the project was commissioned to find rational explanations for these mysterious phenomena, to help quell a growing Cold War-era public hysteria over unidentified objects in the sky. UFO fever reached such intensity that in April 1952, four months before the DesVergers incident, LIFE magazine published a story called “Have We Visitors from Space?”

Pulling over to inspect a bright flash of light

As Ruppelt would later chronicle in his 1956 book The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, on the evening of August 19, 1952, hardware-store clerk and Scoutmaster DesVergers, 30, was driving a group of Boy Scouts home when he saw a bright light flash over Military Trail near West Palm Beach, Florida.
Thinking it may be a downed plane or car accident, DesVergers pulled onto the shoulder of the highway so he could take a closer look. Armed with a machete and flashlights, he entered the palmetto grove near where he saw the lights, leaving the three boys in the vehicle with instructions to alert the residents of a nearby farmhouse if he did not return in 15 minutes.

According to the declassified documents, after about four minutes of hacking through the bush DesVergers entered a clearing in the grove. The first thing he described was an acute, nauseating smell and then the feeling of somebody or something watching him. He next experienced a sensation of oven-like heat coming from above. Looking up, DesVergers said, he could not see any stars as he was standing beneath a hovering object.

The object was circular, DesVergers recounted, dull black, with no seams, about 30 feet in diameter with a height of 10 feet, a convex dome atop it and the bottom edge lit with a phosphorescent glow.

Enveloped by a red mist

What happened next is what separates DesVergers’ encounter from thousands of other UFO sightings: As he slowly moved backward, he recalled, he heard a noise like metal against metal, “like a hatch opening,” after which a red, flare-like light came from the side of the object and slowly moved toward him. (DesVergers constantly referred to it as a “ship” when recounting the tale to the authorities) As he placed his hands over his face—fists closed, hand over each eye—the red ball of light grew into a red mist, engulfing him. It was then, he recounted, that he lost consciousness.

When he awoke, DesVergers said, he was leaning against a tree, but could not see properly as his eyes burned. Scrambling back through the palmettos, his eyesight slowly returning to normal, he burst, incoherent, out onto the highway, where he was met by the boys and local authorities.

‘I’ve never seen anyone as terrified as he was’

The three scouts, Bobby Ruffing, 12, David Rowan, 11, and Chuck Stevens, 10, remained in the car after DesVergers entered the grove. Later, in recounting what he witnessed to authorities, Ruffing said he initially saw a semi-circle of white lights descending into the trees. Ruffing also recounted seeing a red light through the brush, as did Rowan and Stevens, who told of also seeing DesVergers’ flashlight through the trees before going dark. That’s when the scouts headed to the nearby farmhouse for help; a Palm Beach County deputy and Lake Worth constable responded to the farmer’s call for assistance.

Returning to the site of the abandoned vehicle almost an hour after DesVergers first said he saw the lights, the officers and scouts witnessed the scoutmaster emerge from the palmettos, waving his machete and babbling incoherently. “In all my 19 years of law-enforcement work, I’ve never seen anyone as terrified as he was,” the deputy is recorded as saying in Ruppelt’s investigation.

They’ve ‘Seen Things’

by Rozette Rago                 August 14, 2018                        (nytimes.com)


• UFO social groups are becoming popular. One such group was begun in Los Angeles by Robert Bingham, 62, who has held his annual UFO “Summon Events” in an LA park since 2010.  (seen above)  It began when Bingham was 39 and saw a 20-foot tall worm-shaped ship zipping through the clouds. He’s seen and taken photos of a ‘saucer’ and some flying objects shaped like beans. His photos began to attract dozens of believers from all over the world who come to share their own stories of UFOs and extraterrestrial communications. Bingham attempts to summon UFOs at these gatherings.

• “It’s a great community because you can talk about anything and you’re not worried about being called crazy,” said Hans Boysen, 53, who has participated in the last seven summoning sessions with Bingham since 2011. Boysen has gone on to co-found another group called the L.A. U.F.O. Channel who meet monthly.

• Rafael Cebrian, 29, a two-time attendee, brought a curious friend who was visiting from Spain. He said it was about being open and being in the right state of mind.

• Angel Llewellyn, 49, drove to Bingham’s event from San Jose, California, for a second year as a form of pilgrimage. “It’s like he charges you,” she said (as in ‘inspires’ you, not as in charging you admission). “He teaches you how to call [UFOs] and what to think and they just, boom, boom, boom. It’s like fishing. You never know what you’re going to get.”

• Other groups like the U.F.O. and Paranormal Research Society focus on discussions, often with speakers who talk about their research and experiences. A nonprofit group called the Mutual U.F.O. Network, or Mufon, founded in 1969, has over 4,000 members worldwide and convenes a yearly symposium. This year, a former Pentagon intelligence officer, Luis Elizondo, will give the Mufon keynote address. Many in the community believe that organizations such as the ‘To The Stars Academy for Arts and Science’, headed by Elizondo and former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge, are just the beginning to discovering the truth about ETs and UFOs.

• Yasmin Joyner, 35, an artist, recently formed another UFO discussion group, Indigo Army, that she hopes will attract a younger and more diverse crowd. Its members organize sightings at one another’s houses and nearby parks. Joyner says she understands that there are consequences to being outspoken about beliefs that many people may deem weird or crazy. “I think my family was a bit worried that I had snapped or something, but once they saw my footage and what I was seeing, they understood,” she said.

• Mallory Jackson, 26, who attends ‘hangouts’ led by Mr. Bingham and the Indigo Army, says she finds it difficult to maintain relationships outside the U.F.O. community with people who might not be as understanding of her interests. “[Y]ou’ll see all ages, all ethnicities, all genders,” says Ms. Jackson. “It’s beautiful, and we’re all just trying to figure it out as we go.” She became friends with several members “right away” before meeting another longtime attendee of Mr. Bingham’s events, Jim Martin, 38, who is now her boyfriend.

• How exactly does the group try to summon UFOs? Most agree that it’s similar to meditating, accompanied by a physical sensation. Joyner says the important thing is to focus. At the event in April, some participants closed their eyes and stood silently. Some stared intently into the sky. When someone spots something, they train a telescope on the object which is connected to a camera and a screen that shows and records what is being seen. They post the best videos on their YouTube channel.

 

Robert Bingham has “seen things.” When he was 39, he looked skyward and noticed a worm-shaped ship about 20 feet tall zipping through the clouds.

Unusual things kept popping up around him — or above him, rather. He saw a saucer and some flying objects shaped like beans next. He snapped a picture.

For over ten years, he kept his sightings to himself. That changed in 2010, when his neighbor came over to do some plumbing work. Mr. Bingham showed him his photos. The neighbor asked if he could invite his brother, who was very interested in unidentified flying objects, or U.F.O.s.

In awe of what they saw, they asked if they could invite more people to speak with Mr. Bingham — 40 more, actually. More than eight years ago, that was the first meeting of what is now known as “Summon Events with Robert Bingham,” at a park in Los Angeles across the street from where Mr. Bingham worked as a security guard.

Mr. Bingham, 62, an unassuming man who describes himself as shy, has become the nexus of a community of U.F.O. hunters in Los Angeles, fervent believers who come together to share their stories and persuade skeptics that extraterrestrial communications aren’t just a conceit for television shows.

Since then, he has attracted U.F.O. enthusiasts from all over the world, drawn together by the same questions: What are these things in the sky, exactly, and how can we learn more about them?

While there is just not enough documentation or scientific evidence to begin to explain or even confirm these sightings, that doesn’t stop the dozens of people that once a year descend on the same park to watch and assist Mr. Bingham as he tries to summon the “objects,” as they call them, and also to hang out with other enthusiasts who have turned into friends.

“It’s a great community because you can talk about anything and you’re not worried about being called crazy,” said Hans Boysen, 53, who has participated in the last seven summoning sessions with Bingham since 2011.

Other groups, like the U.F.O. and Paranormal Research Society, don’t organize sighting sessions, but rather focus on discussions, often with speakers who talk about their research and experiences. A nonprofit group called the Mutual U.F.O. Network, or Mufon, founded in 1969, has over 4,000 members worldwide and convenes a yearly symposium. This year, a former Pentagon intelligence officer, Luis Elizondo, will give the keynote address.

Last year, The New York Times conducted interviews and obtained records pertaining to the $22 million spent on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. The program — parts of which remain classified — investigated reports of unidentified flying objects, according to Defense Department officials. According to the article, officials insisted that the effort had ended after five years, in 2012. The article also stated that Sara Seager, an astrophysicist at M.I.T., cautioned that not knowing the origin of an object does not mean that it is from another planet or galaxy. “When people claim to observe truly unusual phenomena, sometimes it’s worth investigating seriously,” she said. But, she added, “what people sometimes don’t get about science is that we often have phenomena that remain unexplained.”

As much as scientists deal with probabilities, they rely on data and the reality is, no matter how many videos people upload on YouTube, they’re simply not enough to draw any definitive conclusions from.

But that doesn’t stop this community from searching. Many in the community that forms around Mr. Bingham believe that the multimillion-dollar alien research efforts of the former Blink-182 guitarist and singer Tom DeLonge are just the beginning to finding out some answers. Mr. DeLonge made headlines after To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science, a research group he founded — Mr. Elizondo is its director of global security and special programs — released declassified footage from the Department of Defense and continues his efforts.

Angel Llewellyn, 49, drove to the event from San Jose, Calif., for a second year as a form of pilgrimage. She said she started seeing things right after attending to Mr. Bingham’s event for the first time.

“It’s like he charges you,” she said. “He teaches you how to call them and what to think and they just, boom, boom, boom. It’s like fishing. You never know what you’re going to get.”

What Would Happen If UFOs Tried to Contact Earth?

by Sebastian Kettley                     August 20, 2018                     (express.co.uk)

• Are the people of earth ready for open extraterrestrial contact? A September 2015 YouGov poll found more than 56 percent of Germans believed in the existence of alien life. The German Ministry of Economics, however, said it considered aliens visiting the earth “extremely unlikely according to current scientific knowledge”.

• An August 2017 survey conducted by 20th Century Fox film studio found nearly half of all Americans believe in aliens. Almost as many were certain aliens are visiting Earth on a regular basis but less than 20 percent found stories of alien abductions genuine. Even less claimed to have ever seen a UFO.

• A report published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2018 found people across the board would react positively to alien visitors. Michael Varnum of Arizona State University said based on a mix of media headlines and surveys, the overall public response would be optimistic.

• How would the earth’s institutions respond to first contact? The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) stipulates anyone who encounters extraterrestrial signals has to immediately broadcast them to the rest of the world. The Post-Detection Task Group, a branch of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), similarly says international governments would have to pool resources together to beam back a joint message.

• The US Air Force’s 527th Space Aggressor Squadron (527 SAS) at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, is the first line of defense against space-based threats. Captain Dustyn Carroll, aggressor training flight commander at the base said, “We then teach joint and coalition forces what adversaries may or may not do, and then we go out and replicate it ourselves.”

• Most scientists today assume first contact with extraterrestrials would be achieved through a clear signal beamed to Earth and not by intercepting alien spacecraft. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute said, “… [Y]ou would have a press conference and announce this to the world.” Then, says Shostak, he would evacuate from the city as soon as the first UFOs appeared in the skies. Alien visitors capable of reaching Earth would likely have the technology to do how they please with the planet.

• [Editor’s Note]   It appears that the people on the planet are far more open and accepting of extraterrestrial contact than are the world’s governments, military and “scientific” organizations set up to deal with extraterrestrial contact. The institutional organizations remain dutifully diligent in denying any current extraterrestrial contact with humanity, and in spreading their skepticism and fear of the ‘dangerous and evil space aliens’. However, their mind-control is beginning to wear off. Greater numbers of ordinary people are not only accepting the existence of extraterrestrials, but are optimistic of a positive relationship developing between ET beings and humans here on earth.

 

A YouGov poll published in September 2015 found more than 56 percent of polled Germans believed in the existence of alien life.

But Germany has “no plans or protocol” if alien visitors ever attempt to contact the human race.

In response to questions submitted to the government, the German Ministry of Economics said it considered such an event “extremely unlikely according to current scientific knowledge”.

The Government said in a statement on the matter: “Concrete cases that could have been subject of bilateral or multilateral talks with other states are not known.”

There is very little in terms of official legislation on how the Earth should collectively react but there are some guidelines set in place by scientific institutions.

The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) stipulates anyone who encounters extraterrestrial signals has to immediately broadcast them to the rest of the world.

The Post-Detection Task Group, a branch of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), similarly says international governments would have to pool resources together to beam back a joint message.

The USA also appears to be greatly prepared for the threat of space-based attacks with an entire unit of the United States Air Force assigned to combating space-cable adversaries.

The 527th Space Aggressor Squadron (527 SAS), stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, is the first line of defence against space-based threats.

The 527 SAS regularly conducts drills and develops techniques to better prepare for attacks from above.

Captain Dustyn Carroll, aggressor training flight commander, said: “We replicate adversary tactics.

“We want to know what our adversaries are capable of, study that and see how we can apply that.

“We then teach joint and coalition forces what adversaries may or may not do, and then we go out and replicate it ourselves.”

An August 2017 survey conducted by film studio 20th Century Fox found nearly half of all Americans believe in aliens.

Almost as many were certain aliens are visiting Earth on a regular basis but less than 20 percent found stories of alien abductions genuine.

British UFO Hunter’s Laptop Was ‘Wiped’ After Mysterious Death

by Georgia Diebelius                  August 11, 2018                    (metro.co.uk)

• Max Spiers’ (pictured above) sudden death on July 16, 2016 in Warsaw, Poland is shrouded in mystery. After Spiers’ body was repatriated to the UK, British doctors were unable to determine the cause of his death. Kent Police (in southeastern England) has launched a joint investigation with Polish police into the UFO/Super-Soldier conspiracy theorist’s death, scheduled to begin on January 7, 2019.

• The 39-year-old Spiers had been visiting Warsaw to speak at a conference. Spiers was said to have been probing into the lives of well-known figures in politics, business and entertainment. This has prompted his mother, Vanessa Bates, to remark, “I think Max had been digging in some dark places and somebody wanted him dead.” “[Max] was very fit and healthy when I said goodbye to him,” says Vanessa. “Everything that we have in terms of health records before he went were that he was in great health.” A message from Spiers’ phone sent to his mother just before he died warned ‘…if anything happens to me, investigate’.

• In December 2016, a British court of inquiry heard evidence that Spiers had vomited two litres of black blood before he died. Authorities in Poland initially concluded the sudden death was due to natural causes. There were alleged procedural ‘discrepancies’ by Polish emergency services. And Spiers’ laptop computer was returned to his family with all of the data ‘wiped’ or deleted. The UK court is hearing evidence on whether disciplinary proceedings should be brought against police officers in Poland, along with an analysis of Spiers’ laptop.

 

The sudden death of Max Spiers, 39, has been shrouded in mystery after a friend discovered his body while he was on a trip to Poland to visit a conference. In December 2016, the court heard the conspiracy theorist vomited two litres of black blood before he died, but the inquest was adjourned.

The dad-of-two, had allegedly made many ‘enemies’ in his investigations. His inquest will now be held over four days from January 7, next year.

Authorities in Poland, where Mr Spiers was attending a conference, initially concluded the sudden death was due to natural causes. A message from his phone sent to his mother Vanessa Bates before he died warned ‘your boy’s in trouble, if anything happens to me, investigate’. At the pre-inquest review yesterday at the Guildhall in Sandwich, Kent, the court heard the barrister for Max’s mother, Adam Taylor, call for members of the Polish emergency services to appear as witnesses. Sections from a 700-page docket of statements and evidence assembled will be translated from Polish for next year’s inquest. Possible evidence over whether disciplinary proceedings were brought against police officers in Poland over Mr Spiers’s death should also be heard. Analysis of a laptop and a mobile phone that belonged to the father-of-two should also be presented at the inquest, the court heard.

Mr Taylor said: ‘The way in which they were returned and what was done to them is clearly one of the big mysteries. ‘The family has no knowledge whatsoever of what the results of that analysis were.

‘Mr Bates’ laptop was wiped and, of course, it was not empty at the time of Max’s death. The issue is the Sim card and what was on it. Without sight of the report the family has no answer to these questions.’ There were also a ‘number of discrepancies’ in emergency services accounts about Max’s death, the court heard. Monika Duvall, a friend who Mr Bates had reportedly been living with, was also asked to attend the inquest. Speaking afterwards, Vanessa said: ‘Today felt very positive. It’s just over two years now. I did not expect him to go to Poland and not come back. ‘We’ve got hundreds of pages we are working our way through which are all in Polish.

The Pentagon Secretly Studied ‘Exotic and Sophisticated’ UFO Technologies, Bombshell Letter Reveals

by Jasper Hamill                          August 13, 2018                           (metro.co.uk)

• Last December, the world first learned of a Pentagon UFO research program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) dedicated to exploring ‘unexplained aerial phenomena’ and a range of futuristic technologies. Former program manager, Luis Elizondo, said he believed there is ‘very compelling evidence we may not be alone’, and has alluded to mysterious ‘metamaterials’ from crashed alien spacecraft being stored in specially modified warehouses in Las Vegas.

• Now, a letter obtained by George Knapp’s KLAS ‘Las Vegas Now’ I-Team written June 24, 2009 by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to William Lynn III, Deputy Secretary of Defense has revealed the US government’s exploration of ‘disruptive aerospace technologies’. Without mentioning aliens or UFOs, the letter confirms that the US Senate ordered an assessment of ‘far term foreign aerospace threats’. These include ‘extremely sophisticated concepts within the world of quantum mechanics, nuclear science, electromagnetic theory, gravitics [anti-gravity], and thermodynamics’.

• Senator Reid warns in his letter that these technologies ‘have the potential to be used with catastrophic effects by adversaries’, but that ‘much progress has been made with the identification of several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace-related findings’.

• ‘Ultimately, the results of AATIP will not only benefit the US Government but I believe will directly benefit the Department of Defense in ways not imagined,’ Senator Reid wrote. ‘The technological insight and capability gained will provide the US with a distinct advantage over any foreign threats and allow the US to maintain its preeminence as a world leader.’

• Former UFO investigator for the British Ministry of Defence, Nick Pope, said the document reveals just how seriously the US government takes the issue of ‘futurist technology’ and the associated threats and opportunities. Pope had previously said that the AATIP looked at UFO sightings as part of a wider intelligence assessment of the threat from next-generation aircraft, missiles and drones, and the ‘novel military applications’ that we felt might be derived from a fuller understanding of the phenomenon.’

• Britain and the US share concerns that Russia and China might beat us to the punch in the weaponization of futuristic technologies, says Pope. “[I]t’s time to drop our prejudices about the subject and to stop referring to ‘flying saucers’ and ‘little green men’. “It’s time to realize that… there are serious defense and national security issues involved and that the US, the UK, Russia, China – and maybe others – are engaged in potentially game-changing work on this subject.”

• [Editor’s Note]  Futuristic weapons technologies. Trump’s declaration that ‘space is a war-fighting domain’. The creation of a US Space Force. Who or what are we gearing up to fight, or to defend ourselves from or free ourselves from? Perhaps the Draco Reptilian and Nazi Dark Fleet alliance?

 

Documents relating to a highly sensitive investigation government project called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) confirm that the US has studied a range of futuristic technologies which would allow it to exercise global military dominance for decades to come. This programme is dedicated to exploring ‘ unexplained aerial phenomena’ and is believed to have written a 490-page report which collects together UFO sightings from around the world. The world first heard about AATIP last year, when footage of an encounter between an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet and an oval-shaped UFO travelling at astonishing speed was released.

Now a letter sent from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to William Lynn III, Deputy Secretary of Defense, has revealed tantalising new details of the US government’s exploration of ‘disruptive aerospace technologies’. Although the correspondence does not mention aliens or UFOs, it appears to confirm the US Senate ordered an assessment of ‘far term foreign aerospace threats’. It is not known whether these threats were alien in origin – or came from some rival military power. It said these include ‘extremely sophisticated concepts within the world of quantum mechanics, nuclear science, electromagnetic theory, gravitics [anti-gravity], and thermodynamics’. These technologies ‘have the potential to be used with catastrophic effects by adversaries’ Senator Reid warned in his letter, which was obtained by Las Vegas Now. The letter also said ‘much progress has been made with the identification of several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace-related findings’.

‘Ultimately, the results of AATIP will not only benefit the US Government but I believe will directly benefit the Department of Defense in ways not imagined,’ he wrote. ‘The technological insight and capability gained will provide the US with a distinct advantage over any foreign threats and allow the US to maintain its preeminence as a world leader.’ Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the British Ministry of Defence, said the ‘bombshell’ document ‘reveals much more about the AATIP project than was previously known’. ‘These staggering revelations show just how seriously the US government took the issue. Irrespective of what they believed about the true nature of the UFO phenomenon, this letter gives a telling insight into the reasons why the Pentagon was interested, and what they thought the threats and opportunities might be,’ he told The Metro.

Aliens Told US House Candidate About Thousands of Non-Human Skulls in Malta Cave

August 26, 2018                  (independent.com.mt)

• Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera is running for Congress as a Republican in the Miami Florida area. The Miami Herald wrote that their editors were impressed with Rodriguez Aguilera’s “boots-on-the-ground ideas and experience.”

• Rodriguez Aguilera claims openly that when she was seven years old she was abducted by blonde extraterrestrial beings who gave her many insights into her world, including the existence of thousands of non-human skulls hidden in a cave in Malta, and that Africa is the center of the world’s energy.

• Since her childhood, Rodriguez Aguilera has stayed in touch with the ETs telepathically. When she was seventeen years old she again saw a UFO.

• [Editor’s Note]  Rodriguez Aguilera lost the Republican primary on August 28th to Maria Elvira Salazar, and came in 6th in a field of 9 candidates.

 

A candidate for the upcoming US House election this week is standing by a claim she made many years ago that aliens had abducted her when she was seven years old and told her that thousands of non-human skulls were once discovered in a cave in Malta.

Republican candidate Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera says that, when she was a young girl, she was taken onboard a spaceship by blond extraterrestrials who resembled the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.

She says they also told her that “the centre of the world’s energy is Africa”.

The Florida candidate may otherwise have a long list of accomplishments to bolster her campaign, but she is perhaps best known for claiming that she was abducted by space aliens as a child.

Rodriguez Aguilera is a long shot in the race for the Miami-area seat being vacated by retiring Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

In an interview this week, Rodriguez Aguilera said her tale of kidnapping by aliens does not define her: “It has nothing to do with what I have done. It happened when I was seven years old.”

She said she had witnessed paranormal activity since then and that she saw a UFO when she was 17. She also said that she has been in touch, telepathically, with the aliens who had told her about the Malta skulls long after the abduction.

“I stick to my guns when I believe in something,” she said.

Our Long, Secret History With Aliens

by Harry Bubb Jr.                 August 11, 2018                       (sentinelsource.com)

• In an opinion letter, Harry Bubb Jr. addresses the reality of the existence of non-terrestrial UFO’s in spite of humanity’s discomfort in contemplating that extraterrestrial life has been visiting earth for decades.

• When the U.S. recovered “flying discs” outside Roswell, N.M. in 1947, controlled by creatures ‘not-of-this-world’, our leaders quickly concealed that fact from the people for fear of losing control over society. The government implemented a policy of secrecy and ridicule to make anyone who reported UFO sightings or ET contact look like fools.

• In the meantime, U.S. leaders initiated a major technological buildup to counter the ETs, and hid it within Cold War projects.  NASA, Star Wars, our moon and Mars explorations were all predicated on fears of the ETs, not of the Soviets. Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy secretly met and negotiated with extraterrestrial groups.

• The bottom line is that extraterrestrials exist and visit our planet on a regular basis. This has been systematically concealed from us. But the resulting hidden technology could greatly benefit our society. We need to get past our need to believe that we are the only sentient beings in the universe, and embrace our species’ emergence as a member of a larger galactic community.

 

The hardest truths to reveal are those people would rather not hear, especially, those truths that threaten our emotional security. Thus: “We are the only sentient beings in the universe” is a calming security blanket for humans, who appear comfortable enough when scientists search for life on distant stars — as long as they don’t find anything! Thus, to suggest that extraterrestrial life has been visiting earth for decades will not be greeted kindly. But, I must make that claim anyhow.

Since 1947, when the U.S. recovered “flying discs” outside Roswell, N.M., our leaders realized UFOs were real and controlled by creatures not-of-this-world. They quickly concealed that fact from the people — in part because they feared our unpredictable response to the news, in part because they didn’t know what the visitors wanted, in part, they feared losing control over society.

So, the government instituted a policy of squelching citizen reports of UFO sightings or contacts and dismissing UFO reports, made fools out of those who made them. Soon, even credible evidence of UFOs was turned away — nobody wanted to hear it. Seventy years of government concealment followed.

After Roswell, the Cold War mindset dictated that the U.S. consider the alien’s visits as an existential threat. Especially since ET technology was obviously superior to ours. So, U.S. leaders initiated a crash technological buildup to counter the ETs, and hid it within Cold War projects.

NASA, Star Wars, our moon and Mars explorations were all predicated on fears of the ETs, not of the Soviets. Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy secretly met with extraterrestrial groups to see what they were about. Secret agreements were made.

The whole story is much too complex to tell here, but the bottom line is: We are not the sole sentient being in the universe — a number of races of extraterrestrials exist, and visit our planet on a regular basis. Though that reality has been systematically concealed from us, mass ignorance cannot go on forever! Besides, the government has ET technology that can save us from imminent environmental catastrophe. And, we sorely need to have it!

Aliens Blamed for Mutilating Cows in Argentina

by Sean Martin               August 9, 2018                  (express.co.uk)

• Local farmers in Santa Fe, north-eastern Argentina, have found seven cows mysteriously killed and mutilated. A cow owner, Norberto Bieri, said, “They did not have tongues or flesh around the jaw, but they did not take any animals away or remove their bones.” “It seems as though the clean incisions were done with a laser as there is no trace of a knife being used. The cows did not have signs of blood and nothing had appeared to eat them.” Witnesses claim the cows look as if they were attacked with lasers, while strange markings were also found on their tongues and genitals.

• Some believe the deed was done by extraterrestrials. Others blame the legendary chupacabra – a entity in South America that feeds on animals’ blood. Samples analyzed by a laboratory indicated the cattle had not been shot or poisoned. There have been other recent cases of mutilated animals.

• However, “experts” have determined that the culprits are actually ‘hocicudo’, a rat-like scavenger animal that would have moved in, targeted the soft parts of the animal such as tongue, eyes, ears and anus, and left the carcass as if it had been mutilated.

• [Editor’s Note]   This makes perfect sense, since rats have been known to make clean incisions using laser technology, and leave strange ‘markings’.

 

Local farmers in Santa Fe, north-eastern Argentina, have seen seven cows killed and mutilated with some believing extraterrestrials are killing the bovine animals.

Witnesses claim the cows look as if they were attacked with lasers, while strange markings were also found on their tongues and genitals.

Farmers in the region are blaming aliens or the mythical chupacabra – a myth from South America which supposedly feeds on animals’ blood.

Norberto Bieri, owner of one of the seven cows, told local media: “They did not have tongues or flesh around the jaw, but they did not take any animals away or remove their bones.

“It seems as though the clean incisions were done with a laser as there is no trace of a knife being used. The cows did not have signs of blood and nothing had appeared to eat them.

“Some people say chupacabra or aliens did it. Others believe it was rodents.

“The truth is, the cows are dead and there are no answers as to why.”

Two Pilots Saw a UFO. Why Did the Air Force Destroy the Report?

by Greg Daugherty                    August 10, 2018                          (history.com)

• On July 24, 1948, at 2:45 am, twenty passengers and two pilots were in an Eastern Air Lines DC-3 twin-engine propeller plane on route from Houston to Atlanta, flying at 5,000 feet on a clear and moonlit night. The plane was flown by former World War II Air Corps officers and veteran pilots, Clarence S. Chiles and John B. Whitted.

• About 20 miles southwest of Montgomery, Alabama, the two pilots and one passenger, Clarence L. McKelvie, who was the only passenger awake, saw a 100-ft long cigar-shaped UFO with no wings, and having an upper and lower deck of windows. They could see bright light glowing through the craft’s windows. Underneath the craft was a glow of blue light. And it had a flame shooting out from the back of the craft.

• As the UFO seemed to be heading right for them, Chiles said, “We veered to the left and it veered to its left, and passed us about 700 feet to our right and about 700 feet above us. Then, as if the pilot had seen us and wanted to avoid us, it pulled up with a tremendous burst of flame out of its rear and zoomed up into the clouds.” All three witnesses watched the craft for ten seconds before it disappeared from view into the clouds.

• The pilots made drawings of the craft and made written statements. (Chiles’ statement; Whitted’s statement) They both provided further details in subsequent newspaper and radio interviews.

• An Air Force department known as the “Air Technical Intelligence Center” reported that in its estimation, the UFO craft was ‘interplanetary’. When this classified report reached Chief of Staff General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, he outright dismissed any extraterrestrial connection. The Air Force was already convinced that these mysterious craft was Soviet spy technology, even though the Soviets wouldn’t even have the A-bomb until a year later. So the intelligence report was unceremoniously declassified and destroyed.

• The sighting was downplayed, alluding that the pilots merely saw a weather balloon or a mirage. The official Air Force determination was that the pilots saw a fireball or very bright meteor. Consultant to the Air Force’s ‘Project Blue Book’, J. Allen Hynek, claimed in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience that “the Pentagon had declared that the problem really didn’t exist.” Edward J. Ruppelt, the Air Force officer who initially headed Project Blue Book, said that “[T]he Air Force tried to throw up a screen of confusion. They couldn’t have done a better job.”

• But Chiles and Whitted always stuck to their story. In fact, Whitted later added a new twist to the story that he felt he needed to withhold at the time. Whitted said that the UFO didn’t just go into the clouds, but it actually vanished in front of their eyes.

 

Whatever occurred at 2:45 a.m. on the morning of July 24, 1948 in the skies over southwest Alabama not only shocked and stymied the witnesses. It jolted the U.S. government into a top-secret investigation—the results of which were ultimately destroyed.

The skies were mostly clear and the moon was bright in the pre-dawn hours as pilot Clarence S. Chiles and co-pilot John B. Whitted flew their Eastern Air Lines DC-3, a twin-engine propeller plane, at 5,000 feet, en route from Houston to Atlanta. The aircraft had 20 passengers on board, 19 of them asleep at that hour. It was a routine domestic flight, one of many in the skies that early morning.

                 Pilots Clarence S. Chiles
                    and John B. Whitted

Until suddenly, it wasn’t. What the two pilots and their wide-awake passenger saw in the skies about 20 miles southwest of Montgomery, Alabama, did more than startle them. It would reportedly become the catalyst for a highly classified Air Force document suggesting that some unidentified flying objects were spaceships from other worlds—a tipping point in UFO history.

Chiles described what he saw in an official statement about a week later: “It was clear there were no wings present, that it was powered by some jet or other type of power, shooting flame from the rear some 50 feet. There were two rows of windows, which indicated an upper and lower deck, [and] from inside these windows a very bright light was glowing. Underneath the ship there was a blue glow of light.” He estimated that he’d watched the ship for about 10 seconds before it disappeared into some light clouds and was lost from view.

Whitted offered a similar description in his official statement: “The object was cigar shaped and seemed to be about a hundred feet in length. The fuselage appeared to be about three times the circumference of a B-29 fuselage. It had two rows of windows, an upper and a lower. The windows were very large and seemed square. They were white with light which seemed to be caused by some type of combustion…. I asked Capt. Chiles what we had just seen and he said that he didn’t know.”

The passenger who was awake at the time, Clarence L. McKelvie of Columbus, Ohio, corroborated the pilots’ account that an unusually bright object had streaked past his window, but he wasn’t able to describe it beyond that.

Both pilots also made drawings of the craft they believed they had seen and provided further details in newspaper and radio interviews, some just hours after the sighting. The Atlanta Constitution headlined its July 25 account, “Atlanta Pilots Report Wingless Sky Monster.” In that article, Chiles described what sounded like an uncomfortably close encounter, as the object appeared to be coming at them. “We veered to the left and it veered to its left, and passed us about 700 feet to our right and about 700 feet above us. Then, as if the pilot had seen us and wanted to avoid us, it pulled up with a tremendous burst of flame out of its rear and zoomed up into the clouds.”

Chiles and Whitted weren’t the only ones baffled by what they’d seen.

Asked for comment, William M. Allen, the president of Boeing Aircraft told the United Press he was “pretty sure” it was “not one of our planes,” adding that he knew of nothing being built in the U.S. that matched the description. General George C. Kenney, the chief of the Strategic Air Command, which was responsible for most of America’s nuclear strike forces during the Cold War, told the Associated Press: “The Army hasn’t anything like that. I wish we did.”

Discovery Channel Treasure Hunter Claims He’s Found Evidence of an Extra-Terrestrial Spaceship Beneath the Bermuda Triangle

by Ryan Parry                       August 8, 2018                         (dailymail.co.uk)

• Early 1960’s NASA astronaut, Gordon Cooper, was secretly asked by the U.S. government to look for ‘nuclear threats’ – which likely meant Russian submarines or nuclear missile sites using special ‘long range detection equipment’. Cooper was able to do this. He also noted many shipwrecks and anomalies in the Caribbean Sea, privately creating a map of these things.

• Darrell Miklos (pictured above) says that he was a close friend of Gordon Cooper, and that before dying in 2004 aged 77, Cooper gave Miklos the Caribbean map containing detailed charts and exact coordinates. Using the map to discover shipwreck treasures, Miklos and the TV production company AMPLE Entertainment created a tv show called “Cooper’s Treasure” which has run for two seasons on the Discovery Channel.

• In the first season of “Cooper’s Treasure”, Miklos and his team used Cooper’s map to recover a centuries-old anchor believed to be from one of Christopher Columbus’ ships. Cooper’s maps have led Miklos to dozens of significant ship wrecks across the Caribbean worth millions of dollars.

• During his post-NASA career, Cooper became well known as an outspoken believer in UFOs and claimed the government was covering up its knowledge of extra-terrestrial activity. “Gordon believed in aliens,” says Miklos. “He believed that we had visitors from other planets and he also believed that a lot of these things landed in this particular part of the world (ie: the Caribbean).”

• In the early days, Cooper wasn’t going to overstep the bounds of what he could reveal out of fear of getting killed (by the government). So he kept quiet until later in his life. In 1985, however, Cooper told a United Nations panel, “I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth.” “I feel that we need to have a top-level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data from all over the Earth concerning any type of (ET) encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion.” Cooper added, “For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us.”

• Using Cooper’s maps from the 1960s, Miklos identified more than 100 magnetic ‘anomalies’ in the Caribbean which Cooper had labeled as shipwrecks. But one area near the Bahamas was tellingly labeled ‘unidentified object’. “I realized that there was something else on there that Gordon was referring to,” Miklos said. “Then it made sense to me why it wasn’t identified as a shipwreck… he had to mean it might be something from another world.”

• Miklos said Cooper often told him stories of UFO sightings and believed a lot of the world’s technological advances had been passed on to governments by messengers from alien planets. “[G]iven what Gordon has told me about visitors from another planet and the things that I’ve seen, I think it’s definitely worthwhile investigating,’ says Miklos.

• While filming episode seven of “Cooper’s Treasure” at the Bahamas location, Miklos was looking for a Francis Drake era shipwreck based on one of the anomaly readings on Gordon’s charts. Sitting in a two-man submersible, Miklos suddenly noticed a huge unidentified submerged object with fifteen 300ft-long ‘obtrusions’ jutting from its side all around. “It’s almost like there are… arms coming out of a steep wall cliff, and each one of these is the size of a gun on a battleship.” It was like nothing he’d ever seen, and it was too big to be a shipwreck. The deepest part of the site is 300 feet below the surface. Divers had to use special breathing apparatus and a state of the art submarine to access it. Miklos found other unexplained formations around the main object, all of which were covered in thick coral which he believes are hundreds if not thousands of years old.

• Now, Miklos is hoping that the Discovery Channel will order a third season of “Cooper’s Treasure” so he and his team can bring the ‘alien spaceship’ to the surface.

 

A treasure hunter has made an astonishing ‘unexplained’ discovery deep beneath the Bermuda Triangle that he believes could provide the first evidence of an extra-terrestrial visit to earth hundreds of years ago.

Explorer Darrell Miklos has been using secret maps created by his close friend and famed NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper to find shipwrecks in the Caribbean.

His amazing discoveries have featured over two seasons of hit Discovery Channel docu-series Cooper’s Treasure.

But in recent months his team stumbled on something that he believes will shock the world.

Using maps put together in the 1960s by Cooper to identify more than 100 magnetic ‘anomalies’ in the Caribbean, Miklos dived at an undisclosed location near the Bahamas to investigate what he thought could be an ancient shipwreck.

But instead the veteran treasure hunter found a bizarre structure like nothing he’s ever seen.

            Astronaut Gordon Cooper

The huge unidentified submerged object (USO) has 15, 300ft long obtrusions jutting from its side.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com Miklos, 55, described what he found while filming episode seven of Cooper’s Treasure and tells how he and his team want to bring the ‘alien spaceship’ to the surface.

He recalls: ‘We were doing a scene where I was sitting in a two man submersible.

‘We were out in the Bahamas and we were on an English shipwreck trail, somehow related to Sir Francis Drake.

‘I was trying to identify shipwreck material based on one of the anomaly readings on Gordon’s charts when I noticed something that stuck out, that shocked me.

‘It was a formation unlike anything I’ve ever seen related to shipwreck material, it was too big for that.

‘It was also something that was completely different from anything that I’ve seen that was made by nature.

‘It’s almost like there are five arms coming out of a steep wall cliff and each one of these is the size of a gun on a battleship. They’re enormous and then there’s five over here and five over there, 15 in total.

‘There’s identical formations in three different areas and they don’t look nature made, they don’t look man made, certainly nothing I’ve ever seen based on my experience and I have years of experience at doing this, we’ve identified multiple different types of shipwreck material, this doesn’t match or look anything like that.’

The deepest part of the site is 300 feet below the surface, divers had to use special breathing apparatus and a state of the art submarine to access it.

The explorer also found other bizarre and unexplained formations around the main object, all of which are covered in thick coral which he believes are hundreds if not thousands of years old.

Blown away by the discovery, when back on board his ship, Miklos decided to dig further into Cooper’s files to find further clues.

Significantly, the astronaut had written ‘unidentified object’ on the chart of the area rather than mentioning any historical shipwreck.

‘I investigated some of Gordon’s charts, I realized that there was something else on there that Gordon was referring to,’ he said.

‘Then it made sense to me why it wasn’t identified as a shipwreck… he had to mean it might be something from another world.

The Unsolved Mystery of the Lubbock Lights UFO Sightings

by Hadley Mears                    August 8, 2018                       (history.com)

• On August 25, 1951, a handful of scientists from Texas Technical College in Lubbock, Texas were hanging out and drinking tea in a fellow professors backyard. At 9:20 pm, they all saw a V-shaped formation of 15 to 30 blueish-green lights passing overhead. An hour later the lights appeared again in the sky, traveling from north to south.

• The sightings of these V-formation lights, or possibly a flying wing with lights on it, were seen by hundreds more over the next two weeks. A Lubbock rancher’s wife saw an ‘airplane without a body’ fly over her house, again with pairs of glowing bluish lights on the back edges of the wings.

• 350 miles away in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a Sandia Atomic Energy Commission employee and his wife as they sat outside, they saw a huge airplane flying silently over their house. At the edges of the planes wings were six to eight pairs of soft, glowing, bluish lights.

• In the meantime, the Texas Tech professors began their own informal investigation. In the weeks after their initial sighting, they all saw the lights a dozen more times. They noted that they always traveled from north to south. Their experiences lined up with those of the other Lubbock residents who claimed to have seen the lights.

• “The Lubbock Lights incident persists in the memory of many older citizens. Dr. Monte L. Monroe, archivist at Texas Tech University, told Texas Highways Magazine. “Mention the event, and everyone has an opinion. Some believe the bright, semicircular, so-called ‘string of beads’ crossed the sky at great speed, high in the stratosphere. Few agree with the streetlight-illuminated, migratory duck-bellies theory ventured at the time by skeptics or in the Air Force report.”

• On August 31st, a Texas Tech freshman named Carl Hart, Jr. was looking out for the infamous lights when he saw them come. He went out to his yard with a camera and took photos of them (image above) as they again passed overhead. He managed to take five photos of the V-shaped lights, or flying wing with lights. They are the only images caught of what hundreds were claiming they saw. Over 40 years later, in a rare interview, Carl Hart, Jr. said he still had no idea what he had photographed that August night. But like hundreds of others witnesses in and around Lubbock, he saw something he would never forget.

 

August 25, 1951 was a quiet summer night in Lubbock, Texas. That evening, a handful of scientists from Texas Technical College were hanging out in the backyard of geology professor Dr. W.I. Robinson, drinking tea and chatting about micrometeorites. It was quite the brain trust: chemical engineering professor Dr. A. G. Oberg, physics professor Dr. George and Dr. W. L. Ducker, head of the petroleum-engineering department.

Which made the story of what they witnessed that night all the more curious.

“If a group had been hand-picked to observe a UFO, we couldn’t have picked a more technically qualified group of people,” wrote U.S. Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt later in his definitive 1956 casebook, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects. In the early 1950s Ruppelt served as lead investigator for Project Blue Book, the official Air Force investigations into UFO sightings, after working on its precursor effort, Project Grudge.

Sightings of the blue-green lights kept growing

Around 9:20 p.m., the university colleagues saw something otherworldly in the expansive Texas sky: a V-shaped formation of 15 to 30 blueish-green lights passing overhead. Stunned, but still using their trained scientific reasoning, they figured the lights would reappear. And they did, about an hour later, in a more haphazard formation. The scientists were all in agreement: They had witnessed something fantastic—but what was it?

The professors weren’t the only credible witnesses to the mysterious blue-green lights that night. At dusk, in Albuquerque, New Mexico (about 350 miles away from Lubbock), an employee of the Atomic Energy Commission’s top-secret Sandia Corporation—a man with a high-level “Q” security clearance—had been sitting outside with his wife. According to Ruppelt: They were gazing at the night sky, commenting on how beautiful it was when both of them were startled at the sight of a huge airplane flying swiftly and silently over their home… On the aft edge of the wings, there were six to eight pairs of soft, glowing, bluish lights.

An hour or so after, according to a retired rancher from Lubbock, his wife had seen something terrifying in the night sky. Ruppelt described it this way: Just after dark, his wife had gone outdoors to take some sheets off the clothesline. He was inside the house reading the paper. Suddenly his wife had rushed into the house…“as white as the sheets she was carrying.” The reason his wife was so upset was that she had seen a large object glide swiftly and silently over the house. She said it looked like “an airplane without a body.” On the back edge of the wing were pairs of glowing bluish lights.

By the time Ruppelt flew into Lubbock to investigate the sightings in late September, hundreds of residents had seen the lights over a period of two weeks.

NASA Astronaut Reveals Encounter With ‘Alien-Like’ Object on Space Shuttle

by Henry Holloway                   August 8, 2018                    (dailystar.co.uk)

• Leland Melvin (pictured above) was an engineer on board space shuttle Atlantis who spent almost 24 days in space. The 54-year-old recently related an experience he had while in orbit of seeing “something, organic, alien like” in the payload bay of the shuttle. He added that the object he spotted was “translucent, curved, organic looking… floating out of the payload bay.”

• Melvin says he was with fellow NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik who also saw the unusual object. The two radioed in the sighting to mission control. Mission control told them it was ice that had broken off the shuttle’s hoses. When asked whether or not mission control may have lied to keep him calm, Melvin said: “Hmm… you never know.”

• Astronauts have occasionally claimed to have had strange experiences while in space. Some recall seeing UFOs, while many sightings have been explained away as natural or man-made phenomena. NASA astronaut Jim McDivitt witnesseed a “white cylindrical shape” space, and Apollo 14 pilot Edgar Mitchell publicly spoke about his belief in aliens.

• [Editor’s Note]   Of course not one, but two highly trained NASA engineers would have no idea what ice from hoses would look like, and would easily mistake it for a translucent, organic, alien-like object floating in space. See this previous ExoNews article that describes the alien sight seen by John Glenn while in Earth’s orbit in 1962.

 

Leland Melvin worked as an engineer on board space shuttle Atlantis and spent almost 24 days in space.

The 54-year-old was quizzed by fans on Twitter about his experiences in orbit, asked if he had ever witnessed any aliens or UFOs.

Melvin revealed he had once been spooked after witnessing “something, organic, alien like” in the payload bay of the shuttle.

He revealed he even radioed NASA to let them know what he had seen, who dismissed it as just ice breaking away from the vessel.

Proof of life in space is constantly being probed by scientists who are looking to find evidence we are not alone in the universe.

Melvin revealed he was with fellow NASA spaceman Randy Bresnik when he had the unusual encounter.

Space Shuttle Atlantic flew 33 missions and travelled 126,000 miles before being retired along with the rest of the US fleet in 2011.

The astronaut said the object he spotted with “translucent, curved, organic looking” – finishing his tweet with a alien emoji.

US Air Force Wants to Free Our Minds and Conquer Other Galaxies

by Brett Tingley                   August 8, 2018                     (mysteriousuniverse.org)

• The world’s superpowers are scrambling to construct and test next-generation space bases and weapons in order to gain space superiority before those other guys do. Current planning involves fairly ordinary matters like asteroid strike preparedness and defending our communications satellites. But defending from space-borne threats both man-made and natural is a serious priority for defense officials.

• USAF Lieutenant General VeraLinn Jamieson tells Stephen Trimble, the editor of aviation intelligence firm, FlightGlobal, “Space has got different galaxies.” “Space is contested.” “…we haven’t freed our mind to think about what is in that space and how we are going to utilize it.” Apparently, the Air Force is eyeing other galaxies for military operations. “…there’s going to be a man-made domain in (those other) galaxies,” predicts Lt Gen Jamieson.

• Lt Gen Jamieson may have also alluded to the Air Force’s ability to track UFO’s when she described upgrading the low-definition infrared optics on the Predator drone to a higher-definition electro-optical, hyper-spectral, synthetic aperture radar system. “[T]hat’s where we started to identify ‘What are you seeing?’, ‘Tell me what the object is.’” “We have to do the exact same thing in space.”

• Is the Air Force trickling out information in order to prep the feeble minds of the public for a full-on disclosure of its USAF secret space program?

 

Whether or not Tweeter-in-Chief Donald Trump gets his Space Force despite the objections of pretty much everyone in the U.S. armed forces, one thing is clear: like winter, war in space is coming. The world’s superpowers are currently scrambling to construct and test next-generation space bases and weapons in an attempt to gain space superiority before those other guys do. After all, Mr. President, we must not allow a MINE SHAFT GAP!

        USAF Lt Gen VeraLinn Jamieson

Whether or not Moonraker-style zero-gravity laser rifle battles will be a real thing any time soon, defending from space-borne threats both man-made and natural is a serious priority for defense officials. Most of the current planning involves fairly down-to-earth matters like asteroid strike preparedness or defending our communications satellites, though. Which is why it’s odd that one of the U.S. Air Force’s top officers would tell an interviewer that the Air Force is eyeing other galaxies as new sites for their operations. Do they know something we don’t? Actually, let’s make that “what do they know that we don’t?” and “do we really want to know?”

At an Air Force Association event this week, USAF Lieutenant General VeraLinn Jamieson made the curious comments concerning other galaxies to Stephen Trimble, editor of FlightGlobal, an aviation intelligence consulting and analytics firm. At the event, Trimble asked LtGen Jamieson about the future of the USAF’s Rivet Joint aircraft, a signals intelligence platform. In response, LtGen Jamieson seemed to dodge the question and instead proceeded to tell Trimble that other galaxies will soon be prime real estate for the armed forces: “I am convinced that there are more domains – man-made domains – that will come, and I would offer you that if we look at galaxies – sounds nuts – but there’s going to be a man-made domain in galaxies.”

Why Are UFOs Making It Into the Mainstream Media?

by Laura Valkovic                       August 5, 2018                       (libertynation.com)


• The long-dismissed idea of covert government research into UFOs was given a new level of public credibility in 2017 with the NY Times article exposing the pentagon UFO program, and the “tic tac” UFO video(s). Is the U.S. government finally starting to give the public the disclosure that many have hoped for, or is this actually an attempt by the Deptartment of Defense to prime us for the imminent expansion of war beyond the confines of our planetary surface? Or could it be both?

• For the believers and advocates who have long been relegated to society’s fringes, we may finally be getting what we wanted. UFO’s were covered by numerous mainstream media outlets including The NY Times, Politico, CNN, Washington Post, and Vanity Fair. Fox News host Tucker Carlson (above image) declared, “UFOs have captivated the public interest for decades but they’ve always been dismissed, including by me, as the province of wackos. But that is changing.” Robert Bigelow, head of Bigelow Aerospace, has publicly admitted that he believes aliens visit Earth. Career Exopolitics researcher Paola Harris (and Exopolitics Institute faculty member) wryly told an audience in Manchester, the (NY Times) article had finally convinced her children that she wasn’t crazy after all.

• Soon after President Trump took office he began discussing missions to the Moon and Mars. In June 2018, he told reporters that he wanted to attain “American dominance in space” and directed the Department of Defense to establish a Space Force as the sixth branch of the U.S. Military. A leaked DoD draft report states: “DoD will usher in a new age of space technology and field new systems in order to deter, and if necessary degrade, deny, disrupt, destroy and manipulate adversary capabilities to protect U.S. interests, assets, and way of life… This new age will unlock growth in the U.S. industrial base, expand the commercial space economy and strengthen partnerships with our allies.”

• In April, U.S. Representative Ami Bera (D-CA) called for a congressional hearing on the UFO matter saying, “I think it’s fascinating, you know, we don’t know what these phenomenon are. Obviously, it was important enough to allocate some funds. We ought to talk about what we can talk about openly.”

• [Editor’s Note]  Drip. Drip. Drip.

 

The matter of UFOs has often been associated with tinfoil hat wearing fanatics looking for little gray men, but the people who have long been relegated to society’s fringes may finally be getting what they always wanted.

U.S. Representative Ami Bera (D-CA)

In December 2017, the long-dismissed idea of covert government research into UFOs was given a new level of public credibility by a most unlikely source: The New York Times. In a piece called “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program,” NYT reporters revealed the existence of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a black budget Pentagon program that was investigating reports of unidentified flying objects in conjunction with private company Bigelow Aerospace.

AATIP, UFOS AND THE MEDIA

The Department of Defense (DoD) program began in 2007 with the backing of former Senator Harry Reid (D-NV). While a lack of funding reportedly ended the Department of Defense program in 2012, the program’s former head, Luis Elizondo, believes that it has continued.

The story made a splash in the papers, with coverage by the big players including Politico, Fox News, CNN, Washington Post, Vanity Fair etc. What The New York Times story did, which countless ufologists never managed, was to bring the (or at least one) government UFO program to the serious attention of the public, and the mainstream media now deemed it acceptable to mention the term “UFO” without irony. As career Exopolitics researcher Paola Harris wryly told an audience in Manchester, the article had finally convinced her children that she wasn’t crazy after all.

Public interest has also been fuelled by a video of an encounter between a Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet and a mysterious craft. Released by the DoD at the same time as the AATIP acknowledgment, the video depicts an unidentified flying object in the most literal sense – whether it is extraterrestrial in origin is not a foregone conclusion and many alternative scenarios are possible. Nevertheless, the possibility of alien craft presented in the footage has sparked an interest in the mainstream media that is

unprecedented. Fox News host Tucker Carlson declared, “UFOs have captivated the public interest for decades but they’ve always been dismissed, including by me, as the province of wackos, but that is changing,” in a segment where he broadcast the Navy footage and interviewed Elizondo.

It’s not just the press that has finally expressed an interest in UFOs; U.S. politicians are getting in on the action too. Representative Ami Bera (D-CA) called for a congressional hearing on the matter at a Politico Space panel in April, saying “I think it’s fascinating, you know, we don’t know what these phenomenon are. Obviously, it was important enough to allocate some funds. We ought to talk about what we can talk about openly.”
