Article by Joe Otterson                                                  May 11, 2021                                                          (variety.com)

• NBCUniversal has announced that the Peacock channel has ordered four episodes of a show entitled: “Unidentified with Demi Lovato”, focusing on the UFO phenomenon. The unscripted series will feature the pop music superstar and actress along with her sister Dallas, and Lovato’s best friend and ‘UFO skeptic’ Matthew. The trio will attempt to uncover the truth about UFOs while consulting leading experts, investigating eyewitness encounters, uncovering secret government reports, and conducting tests at known UFO hot spots.

• Lovato will also serve as executive producer for ‘Unidentified’, along with producers SB Projects and GoodStory Entertainment. This is in addition to another show ordered by NBCUniversal entitled “Hungry,” in which Lovato will also star and executive produce. In the show, friends who belong to a food issues group help each other as they look for love, success and the perfect thing in the fridge that’s going to make it all better.

• Lovato got her start in acting in the Disney Channel original film “Camp Rock” and its sequels, has appeared in multiple episodes of the “Will & Grace” revival, “Grey’s Anatomy”, “From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series”, and “Glee”. She also starred in the docuseries “Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil,” released earlier this year where she delved into her near-fatal drug overdose.

Demi Lovato will find out if the truth is out there in a new limited unscripted series about UFOs that has been ordered at Peacock.

In “Unidentified with Demi Lovato,” the music superstar and actress, her skeptical best friend Matthew, and her sister Dallas attempt to help uncover the truth about the UFO phenomena. While consulting with leading experts, the trio will investigate recent eyewitness encounters, uncover secret government reports, and conduct tests at known UFO hot spots.

Peacock has given the show a four-episode order. Lovato will executive produce in addition to starring. Scooter Braun, Scott Manson and Allison Kaye will executive produce for SB Projects. JD Roth, Adam Greener and Sara Hansemann will executive produce for GoodStory Entertainment. Andrew Nock also executive produces. The series is produced by GoodStory Entertainment in association with SB Projects.

“Unidentified” is the latest television project that Lovato has set up at NBCUniversal. It was announced in April that NBC had given out a pilot order to the comedy “Hungry,” in which Lovato will star and executive produce. In the show, friends who belong to a food issues group help each other as they look for love, success and the perfect thing in the fridge that’s going to make it all better.

Lovato has multiple gold and platinum singles to her name, including the title track of her hit album “Tell Me You Love Me.” She got her start in acting in the Disney Channel original film “Camp Rock” and its sequels. She also appeared in multiple episodes of the “Will & Grace” revival as well as on shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series,” and “Glee.”

Former Delta Force Operator Shares Area 51 UFO Encounter

Article by Claire Reid                                                  May 14, 2021                                                           (ladbible.com)

• Dr. Dale Comstock (pictured above) spent ten years as a member of Delta Force and often tells his stories on Tommy’s PodCast. One story involves Area 51, the CIA/Air Force Base in (and under) the Nevada desert. While Comstock says that he’s never actually been inside Area 51, he has seen “some weird stuff going on out there”.

• “I saw something one night that was really bizarre,” begins Comstock. “I was in a military vehicle in the…flat desert, except there was one, like, butte (rock formation) in front of us. Just one in the whole damn desert.” “[T]hey told us we had to wear these radiometers – so we had these things on and we were told to stay out of any area that has a fence around it, because that’s where they load the nuke for testing.”

• “We’re driving at night, night vision goggles, we somehow drove through into one of these pits (in front of the butte). I don’t know if the barbed wire was broken or what, but we stopped and all the dust settles and we’re like, ‘Oh shit, we’re in one of these pits.’ I’m sitting there and I look at the butte and on the back side of the butte I see this light, like super bright light, go up. It’s going up and it’s just kind of hovering. And I’m like, ‘Holy shit, what is that?’ It wasn’t a helicopter because we were close enough we’d have heard it. It came up and was bubbling around.”

• “We…drove around the backside to try and see what it was – the butte was the same all the way around, there was nothing there. It just popped up behind it and as we drove around it, it was gone,” said Comstock. ”I can’t even explain what that was. It was not a flying machine that any human being has made for sure, but it was a bright light.”

• Comstock then added that UFOs are “100 percent out there”.

 

A former Delta Force Operator has shared his unusual UFO encounter while working

out in the desert at a nuclear facility.

Dr. Dale Comstock, who spent 10 years in the Delta Force, spoke on Tommy’s PodCast, where he opened up about his extra-terrestrial encounter.

After admitting that he hadn’t actually been inside Area 51 but had been ‘all around it’, he claimed there ‘is some weird stuff going on out there’.

He added: “I saw something one night that was really bizarre.

“And I just had no explanation for it – there is none.

“So, I was in a military vehicle in the desert and it was a flat desert, except there was one, like, butte in front of us, just one in the whole damn desert.

“I remember they told us we had to wear these radiometers – so we had these things on and we were told to stay out of any area that has a fence around it, because that’s where they load the nuke for testing.

“We’re driving at night, night vision goggles, we somehow drove through into one of these pits.

“I don’t know if the barbed wire was broken or what, but we stopped and all the dust settles and we’re like, ‘Oh s***, we’re in one of these pits.’

Ufologist Rudnyk Says ETs Are Not Ready to Make Contact With Humans

Article from Mystery Wire                                          May 10, 2021                                             (wgno.com)


• Adrian Rudnyk has earned advanced degrees in music and philosophy, plays the violin professionally, and has researched the UFO phenomenon since the 1980s. He and other members of his family have even reported ‘close encounter’ experiences. In March, George Knapp called Rudnyk’s new book, The Assessment, “original and brilliant”.

• In his new book, Rudnyk analyzed the question: ‘why haven’t extraterrestrial civilizations announce their presence to us here on Earth?’ from a philosophical perspective. Would make sense for aliens to make direct contact with humanity? Rudnyk’s conclusion is that humans have made it abundantly clear that our civilization is not yet advanced enough to join a galactic community, and that an advanced species would have good reasons to avoid making direct contact with Earth humans, at least for now.

 

If extraterrestrials are real and are present on earth, why haven’t they landed on

               Adrian Rudnyk

the white house lawn or in front of the United Nations? Why haven’t they made an unequivocal demonstration as a way to announce their presence?

Even for the most committed UFO researchers don’t have a good answer for these questions. They believe in an alien presence and believe these alleged visitors have appeared in our skies for centuries, but the sightings are often brief and alleged interactions are deemed not credible by the scientific community.

Philosopher Adrian Rudnyk has looked at the E.T. question from a different perspective.  Using philosophical methodologies, he has analyzed what assumptions we can make about extraterrestrial intelligence and has asked whether it would make sense for an alien civilization to make direct contact with humanity.

His conclusion is that an advanced species would have good reasons to avoid making direct contact, at least for now.

Rudnyk believes humans have made it abundantly clear that our civilization is not advanced enough to join a galactic community. The conclusions from his years-in-the-making thought experiment are carefully explained in a new publication called “The Assessment.”

Rudnyk earned advanced degrees in music and philosophy, played violin professionally for many years, and has been researching UFOs since the 1980s. He and other members of his family have reported close encounter experiences dating back several years.

British Military Has UFO Videos and Must Release Them, Says Nick Pope

Article by Henry Holloway                                                  May 13, 2021                                           (thesun.co.uk)


• Nick Pope, who turned a brief stint working at the UFO desk of the British Ministry of Defense in the 1990s into a career as a UFO ‘expert’, says he “knows for a fact” that the MoD has footage of UFOs filmed from RAF fighter jet gun cameras from the 1950s and 60s. He has no doubt that the British military has in its possession UFO footage and photos similar to what has been officially released by the US military. Pope is calling upon the British to release what they have, although the official British line is that their UFO videos have been lost and destroyed.

• Pope said that he would be “staggered” if there is not more recent footage in the hands of MoD brass given the stunning videos released by the US from the last two decades. “We have exactly the same kit as the US government, so I am sure there is a treasure trove of official photos and videos of UFOs… sitting there in MoD headquarters.”

• During his own time working with the MoD in the 1990s, military pilots would tell him about their own up close and personal encounters with UFOs. But they typically would not file a report due to fears of ridicule or “psychological evaluation”. MoD officials tells the The Sun Online that its UFO program was terminated in 2009. It is suspected that highly classified investigations continue behind closed doors, and that the UK continues to liaise with the US on UFOs.

• A potentially bombshell report on UFOs is due to be released in June after investigations by the Director of National Intelligence into a string of unexplained encounters with US warships and fighter planes. Pentagon officials have taken the unprecedented step of confirming videos and pictures of UFOs are real and admitting they don’t know what they really are.

• Pope says what is happening in the US right now is a “big deal” – and not to be underestimated. The UK Government was due to release a potentially bombshell UFO dossier in January due to the 30-year rule of declassification. But this has now been blocked until 2072.

• Pope thinks that a rally of support for the UFO disclosure in the UK could help the government publicly treat it as the “national security issue that it is”, but added the MoD will likely have to be dragged into it “kicking and screaming”. It appears there has been some information sharing. US officials are certainly aware of infamous UK incidents such as Rendlesham Forest UFO and the “Calvine UFO Photograph” from 1990.

• “Nowadays if people see something strange, they’ll report to a variety of different places, including military bases, airports, police stations, the media, and civilian UFO groups and researchers,” Pope said. But this results in everyone getting “a few pieces of the puzzle, but nobody’s seeing the whole picture”.

• “I call on the MoD to reopen the real-life X-Files and treat the issue in the way that it should be treated – as a serious defense and national security issue,” says Pope. UFO investigations may be ongoing behind closed doors, but the UK needs to be more transparent as officials are being in the US.

• UFO incidents in the UK are looked at in the same category as flight safety incidents and near misses, referring to sightings in coded language such as “‘unusual aircraft”, “unconventional helicopter” and “unidentified drone” – perhaps in an effort to dodge any British Freedom of Information Act requests.

• “It can’t have escaped the MoD’s notice that over the last three years the US government position on UFOs has fundamentally changed,” says Pope. The US “went from denying any interest and involvement, to a situation where they released videos of UFOs taken from US Navy jets, issued instructions to military pilots telling them what to do if they encounter a UFO, and had classified briefings in Congress.” “If the US thinks this is a serious defense and national security issue – and their actions clearly show they do – the UK should too.” “So either the MoD is engaged, and the truth hasn’t come out, or they’re not. Either scenario is scandalous.”

• Competing theories on the strange videos continue to rage. Some claim the videos capture never-before-seen military aircraft or drones, while others claim it shows otherworldly craft possibly piloted by aliens. The usual skeptics remain dismissive, blaming camera tricks, natural phenomena or even outright hoaxes.

• The US DoD was forced to admit that reports claiming their investigations were stopped in 2012 were not true. In 2019, the Pentagon admitted it launched investigations into UFO sightings and will continue to probe such reports in a bid to keep the nation safe. Luis Elizondo, who headed up the Pentagon’s UFO program said that ‘UFOs are here – and we cannot stop them’.

UFO videos just like the infamous US “Tic-Tac” clip are likely being held by the British military, an ex-MoD investigator has said.

Nick Pope, one of the world’s leading experts on UFOs, has called on the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to release information about its own unexplained encounters.

Mr Pope, who worked to investigate UFOs for the MoD in the 90s and worked in Whitehall until 2004, told The Sun Online now it is time for Britain to come clean about its role in investigating UFOs.

Britain was due to release a bombshell UFO dossier in January but this has now been blocked until 2072.

                       Nick Pope

He called for the release of any footage and photos being held by the MoD, with him being in no doubt Royal Navy and Royal Air Force have likely filmed clips similar to what are now being officially released by the US.

The investigator told The Sun Online he knows for a fact the MoD had footage of UFOs filmed from RAF fighter jet gun cameras on 8mm film from the 50s and 60s.

However, the official line is that the videos have been lost and destroyed.

But he said he would be “staggered” if there is not more recent footage in the hands of military brass given the stunning videos released by the US have occurred in the last two decades.

“We have exactly the same kit as the US government, so I am sure there is a treasure trove of official photos and videos of UFOs or UAPs – whatever they are – sitting there in MoD headquarters,” Mr Pope told The Sun Online.

During his own time working with the MoD, military pilots would tell him about “stunning” up close and personal encounters with UFOs.

Senator Marco Rubio is Taking UFOs Seriously

Article by Adrian Carrasquillo                                               May 11, 2021                                           (newsweek.com)

• UFOs have long been dismissed and relegated to movies and message boards. But after the release of footage of high-profile U.S. military encounters with aircraft of unknown origin, and confirmed as authentic by the Pentagon, Senator Marco Rubio wants to get past the UFO jokes and focus on the seemingly vulnerable national security of the United States. “We cannot allow the stigma of UFO’s to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters,” Rubio told Newsweek.

• Rubio has in many ways taken the baton from former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who previously led the way in pressuring Congress to try to understand what was going on. In June 2020, Rubio added language to the 2021 Intelligence Authorization Act requesting that the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense create a report with “a detailed analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena data and intelligence reporting.” Two months later, the Pentagon created a UAP Task Force to investigate the encounters by U.S. military aircraft. The intelligence report has a soft deadline of June 1st.

• Rubio sees the UFO topic as a national security issue. “People think about space aliens,” Rubio told TMZ in March. “[T]here’s stuff flying over military installations and no one knows what it is, and it isn’t ours.” “[M]aybe it’s a foreign adversary that has made a technological leap,” Rubio elaborated to Fox News.

• Rubio is aware that stigma attached to UFOs is an impediment to reaching a hard conclusion about what the government is dealing with. This stigma goes back decades to a time when if a Navy pilot reported a sighting, he or she would have been sent to the flight surgeon “to check out your head and make sure you’re not seeing things,” said Rubio earlier this year.

• But today, Rubio takes the UFO matter quite seriously, and will take on a question about extraterrestrials head-on. “Well, if they made it all the way here they probably are, yeah, they’re probably more advanced,” he said. “If they can get here and we can’t get there that tells you they’re probably more advanced.”

• And should Biden and the U.S. government’s approach to extraterrestrials be friendly? Rubio laughed, saying only that it would be one heck of a way to top the last year and a half.

get past the UFO jokes to make sure the national security of the United States isn’t threatened in any way, he told Newsweek.

“Dozens of men and women we have entrusted with the defense of our country are telling us about encounters with unidentified aircraft with capabilities we do not fully understand,” Rubio said in exclusive comments ahead of a 60 Minutes interview that will air this weekend. “We cannot allow the stigma of UFO’s to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters.”

UFOs, long dismissed and relegated to movies about aliens visiting earth and breathless message board posts, have begun to shed the farce label in recent years after the release of footage of high-profile U.S. military encounters with aircraft of unknown origin.

The 2019 leaked photos and video taken by U.S. Navy personnel of one such encounter, which showed triangle shaped objects flying through the air, were confirmed as authentic by the Defense Department in April of this year. Even the name of the objects — the branding if you will — has been revamped when discussed by the U.S. government, getting away from UFOs, to unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs.

Rubio has in many ways taken the baton from former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who previously led the way in pressuring Congress to try to understand what was going on.

Discovering Alien Tech from UFOs Can Be a ‘Shortcut to the Future’

Article by Joshua Smith                                          May 10, 2021                                                      (dailystar.co.uk)

• In October 2017, a mysterious cigar-shaped “asteroid” estimated to be 200m in diameter was spotted by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope. This first interstellar object ever found in the Milky Way, dubbed ‘Oumuamua’, was observed to be spinning and accelerating at a phenomenal speed, known as “non-gravitational acceleration”, through our solar system. Mainstream scientists determined that Oumuamua wa just a new kind of comet, propelled by a mechanism we simply don’t understand yet.

• But Harvard University Professor Avi Loeb (pictured above) insists that the most rational explanation for it is that it’s alien. Loeb has deduced the rock is actually a “sail” being propelled through space by photons. This is a type of technology that must be constructed by someone.

• Speaking on the Big Brains podcast (see video below), the professor said that humans could stand to gain an awful lot by learning about other civilizations through “space archaeology”. Loeb says, “Oumuamua could be a ‘technological relic’ that’s billions of years old and that just as we would study the Mayans or other civilizations from Earth’s past, we should do the same for whoever or whatever sent ‘Oumuamua through our solar system.”

• “So communicating with them might be an unlikely occurrence, but if you are adapting the approach of space archeology, you don’t care about that because you’re looking for relics they left behind,” said Loeb. “Of course, they would indicate that civilizations (exist or existed), but you can try and figure out why they died and perhaps avoid a similar fate for ourselves. So it could be a lesson in history for us, it would keep us modest and better equipped for the future.”

• “The other thing that could happen is if you find technologies that are far more advanced than ours, we can import them to Earth. If we see an unusual object, we can in principle land on it, read off the label, ‘‘Made on planet X,’’ so we will know its origin, but also perhaps, copy that technology to Earth,” Loeb continues. “And, it might be a way of short-cutting into our future because it would take us many years to develop the same technology, so there are lots of benefits that I can imagine for humanity from just finding technological relics in space.”

• Professor Loeb has previously speculated that our solar system could be filled with quadrillion alien spaceships of which we have no knowledge. And in a recent interview with The Economist, Professor Loeb said that the cigar-shaped object may have been a message from a distant, more technologically advanced civilization.

• [Editor’s Note]  Professor Loeb is absolutely right about the logic of conducting ‘space archaeology’ throughout our solar system. People like David Wilcock have revealed that our solar system is filled with relics from ancient visitors throughout history. In fact, Corey Goode reported that as Oumuamua was traversing the solar system in 2017, an archaeological team from a secret space program did dock with the tumbling cigar-shaped craft, entered it, and inventoried its contents. Goode said that the errant craft had already been scoured by others, but they were able to retrieve some artefacts that were hidden.

A top scientist has said earth can “shortcut into its future” by

University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope

stealing alien technology off of a mysterious cigar-shaped asteroid which he believes may have been a UFO from a distant galaxy.

‘Oumuamua, estimated to be 200m in diameter, is the first interstellar object ever found in the Milky Way and was first spotted in October 2017 by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope while it was looking for comets and asteroids near the Earth.

The long, cigar-shaped rock was observed by experts to be spinning and accelerating at a phenomenal speed, known as “non-gravitational acceleration,” with some scientists baffled as to why.

Most experts agree ‘Oumuamua is probably a new kind of comet propelled by a mechanism we simply don’t understand yet.

But Professor Avi Loeb, who runs the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University, insists the most rational explanation for it is that it’s alien.

Prof Loeb has deduced the rock is a “sail” being propelled through space by photons, and sails (used by scientists on Earth) have to be constructed as they are not naturally occurring.

British Grandmother Says She’s Been Abducted by Aliens 50 Times

Article by Lucy Notarantonio                                    May 8, 2021                                      (dailystar.co.uk)

• Paula Smith, a 50 year-old grandmother from Bradford in northeast England, says that she has experienced 52 alien abductions and has evidence to prove it. Her first close encounter was when she was a little girl and they have continued ever since. She showed photo images of bruises left on her body by aliens following an abduction. Paula also claims to have returned home from an abduction experience with a triangular bruise on her face and fingerprint marks on her arm.

• “I’ve been taken from my bedroom window and my bed,” says Paula. “According to my family, I had been missing for four hours, but I have no recollection of what actually went on.” Paula has drawn a picture of the silver type of alien that routinely abducts her. “There’s no warning and I can’t sense anything is going to happen. It just happens. All I can do is carry on as normal, otherwise I’d go crazy.”

• In one of Paula’s abductions, “I was on a (UFO) craft and the aliens showed me technology we didn’t have,” said Paula. “They showed me a slideshow of pristine scenery which had a beautiful river which then turned black. The blue sky went blood red and I soon realized it was a movie of the Earth being destroyed through man’s greed.”

• “The first time I saw a craft was 1982,” says Paula. “I was in the woods and it was completely silent. The pathway became narrower and I could hear my heart thumping. I recall looking into the darkness whilst my eyes adjusted. I could see what looked a boomerang shape with an extra arm on it. Each arm had a light at the end. I recall three of the lights, one was blue, the other green, but I cannot recall the color of the other light. I could describe it better as a propeller blade from an aeroplane. It was about 30ft tall and 30ft wide. It was black with a green and blue light on the edges. It was turning clockwise at 1mph in complete silence.”

• “I remember trying to run but it felt like the ground was quicksand, like sinking into the ground, then everything went black. Paula added, “I didn’t tell anybody because I know people would think I am crazy. But there are thousands, if not millions of people like me out there who have similar experiences.”

A gran from Bradford says she’s been abducted by aliens more than 50 times – and she has the evidence to prove it.

Paula Smith claims her first close encounter was when she was a little girl. She says they have continued ever since.

The 50-year-old shared images of bruises she says were left on her body by aliens following one abduction. She has also drawn a picture of a silver alien to show what they look like.

Paula said: “I have experienced 52 paranormal incidents. There’s no warning and I can’t sense anything is going to happen. It just happens. All I can do is carry on as normal, otherwise I’d go crazy.”

Pentagon Officials Preparing to Launch ‘Space National Guard’

Article by Mark Moore                                                May 5, 2021                                              (nypost.com)

• Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told members of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee on Tuesday that he, acting Air Force Secretary John Roth and Space Force’s commander General Jay Raymond are expected to brief Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on creating a Space National Guard. Hokanson said that the Space National Guard was part of a “two-component construct” that would also include active-duty and Reserve Space Force. The creation of a Space National Guard would come two years after President Trump officially launched the Space Force in 2019.

• “National Guard space units have provided operational, unit-equipped, surge-to-war capability to protect our nation’s vital interests in this contested domain,” he told the Congressional panel. The Air National Guard has space units in Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, New York and Ohio as well as Guam. Hokanson pointed out that National Guard units have been involved with space missions for 25 years, and supply the Space Force with 11 percent of its professionals.

• But some lawmakers questioned the cost of such an endeavor. Committee Chair Betty McCollum (D-Minn.) told Hokanson that she would need to see a cost breakdown, an effort to distribute guard units in all 50 states, and the cross-utilization of existing Air Force facilities. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Defense Department would have to pick up about $100 million in additional costs of transferring Air National Guard and Army National Guard personnel to the Space National Guard.

 

            Gen. John “Jay” Raymond

Pentagon officials are poised to launch a separate Space National Guard — the

                  Gen. Daniel Hokanson

second military foray into the realm since former President Donald Trump established the Space Force in 2019, according to a report.

Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told a House committee on Tuesday that creating a Space National Guard is “among my most pressing concerns,” Politico reported.

“I believe we’re fairly close on that,” Hokanson told members of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee.

He said the Space Force’s commander, Gen. Jay Raymond, and acting Air Force Secretary John Roth back a “two-component construct” that would combine active-duty and Reserve Space Force along with a Space National Guard.

The three are expected to brief Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on the initiative.

The creation of a Space National Guard would come two years after Trump officially launched the Space Force — the first new military service in 70 years.

Hokanson said National Guard units have been involved with space missions for 25 years, and supply the Space Force with 11 percent of its professionals.

“National Guard space units have provided operational, unit-equipped, surge-to-war capability to protect our nation’s vital interests in this contested domain,” he told the panel in prepared remarks.

The Air National Guard has space units in Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, New York and Ohio as well as Guam, he said.

New Spaceplane Is About To Make Its First Flight

Article by Bilal Waqar                                               May 8, 2021                                                 (wonderfulengineering.com)

• Sierra Nevada Corp (SNC) won a $2 billion contract from NASA to build the Dream Chaser, a space vehicle that promises to become the first-of-its-kind reusable cargo vessel. the new space plane could make a round-trip journey to International Space Station much faster than Elon Musk’s SpaceX vehicles. In fact, SNC aims to transform the way spaceflights are perceived, and could become the second big space organization, next to NASA. (see 4:01 minute video of the Dream Chaser’s Concept of Operations below)

• The Dream Chaser is currently able to travel in near space autonomously. SNC is planning a manned mission in 2022. The space plane will be carried into space on a United Launch Alliance rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Dream Chaser will land on the space center’s landing strip which the Space Shuttles used. This means that the Kennedy facility is not only performing as a NASA facility, it’s also becoming a multi-user commercial spaceport. The Sierra Nevada Corp’s Dream Chaser operation at Kennedy will include the hiring of dozens of employees and may even require the construction of new buildings to cater to engineering necessities.

 

SpaceX capsules designated for ventures to International Space Station might face competition after the announcement of a new spaceplane set to take its first flight. It is claimed that the new spaceplane could make a roundtrip to ISS much faster than SpaceX vehicles.

The new spaceplane is built and operated by Sierra Nevada Corp. in Nevada and aims to transform the way spaceflights are perceived. The new spacecraft is called the Dream Chaser and as announced can go on the space venture with autonomous capabilities. It will be lifted through ULA (United Launch Alliance) rocket from the Kennedy Space Center to execute flights to the ISS.

The new Dream Chaser by the Sierra Nevada Corp. will land on the space center’s landing strip which previously has been used for landing space shuttles. Former astronaut, Janet Kavandi said that the first of the Dream Chasers is getting ready for being delivered to Kennedy Space Center and will land on the strip somewhere around spring 2022.

“When we first launch next year, 2022, at the end of that mission, we plan to come back and land here at this very runway,” said Kavandi.

Could Advanced Intelligent Life Exist Right Here on Earth?

Article by Arjun Walia                                           May 8, 2021                                               (collective-evolution.com)

• UFOs have become a big topic of discussion within the mainstream. These objects perform maneuvers and travel at speeds that no known machinery can. They truly defy our understanding of aerodynamics and, in some cases, physics. Now the question is: who is the manufacturer and operator of these UFOs?

• There is testimonial evidence that these objects are not human made. The former director of the Pentagon’s UFO program, Lue Elizondo, recently gave an interview to the NY Post saying that he had a meeting with a very senior Department of Defense official who agreed that these UFO craft were not of human origin. Former Air Force Colonel Ross Dedrickson also claimed to have information that these objects were not human made, and from what he knew, the beings are benevolent and concerned about the well-being of our planet. Beyond these testimonies are documented cases of sightings and “contact experiences” that point to a non-human origin.

• The ancient Greek philosopher Plato distinguished between the animals and men who reside on the Earth and the so-called ‘elementals’ that dwell in the ‘ether’ (or ‘aether’) of the Earth. Humans can only see within a tiny frequency of the entire visible light spectrum. The truth is, much of our “reality” isn’t even perceivable to our human senses. Quantum mechanics and post-material science has shown us that the “invisible” parts make up the vast majority of ‘space’. Even Rene Descartes proposed the theory that what we perceive as space is completely filled with matter in various states.

• Who is to say that life does not dwell in these ethereal realms? Stories can be found in ancient Buddhist and Vedic philosophy, along with oral stories passed down from Native cultures throughout the world, which refer to ‘magical’ and ‘mythical’ lands that co-exist alongside our reality. The German-Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus wrote: “Man lives in the exterior elements and the Elementals live in the interior elements. The latter have dwellings and clothing, manners and customs, languages and governments of their own…”

• What’s interesting is that these mysterious UFOs are commonly observed “taking off” at tremendous speeds and entering or exiting our oceans. Sometimes when they “fly away” they seem to ‘dematerialize’. It truly calls into question what we think we know about the nature of reality. And chances are, not all objects originate from the same source.

• It is disconcerting that most people do not see UFOs as legitimate reality unless and until it is presented as such by the mainstream media. Footage had to be verified by the Pentagon before people would deem them as real. This highlights just how reliant humanity has become on these media sources for information. But it is difficult to trust mainstream media, or government for that matter, to get an accurate depiction of what’s really happening. Perhaps the UFO phenomenon is one that requires a citizens’ initiative as well, to get an honest depiction of UFOs.

• One thing to look out for is the US government’s suspicion that these objects are Russian or Chinese in origin. This narrative is meant to heighten the national security state, for no legitimate reason, while simultaneously controlling the extraterrestrial hypothesis. The government paints UFOs as a threat, even though the vast majority of the time these objects perform evasive maneuvers to avoid our own aircraft. We always seem to be the ones chasing them.

 

          Ethereal beings on this earth?

Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), now commonly known as Unidentified Aerial

                                 Plato

Phenomenon (UAPs) have become a big topic of discussion within the mainstream as of late. We are talking about objects that have been photographed, videotaped, tracked on radar, and seen by high ranking military personnel as well as civilians on the ground and in air-craft. These objects perform maneuvers and travel at speeds no known man made piece of machinery can. They truly defy our understanding of aerodynamics and, and in some case

                             Paracelsus

s, physics.

The next discussion to arise is, are those manning these craft human or something else?

Based on my years of research, just as there was strong evidence for the existence of these objects decades ago when they were deemed a conspiracy theory, there is strong evidence now, and in my opinion, there is evidence these objects are not

                Rene Descartes

human made.

As far as credible sources that support this idea, Colonel Robert Friend, in his very last interview before his death, who was a director of Project Blue Book from 1958-1962, suggested that the U.S. Air Force knew what these objects were even at that time. The former director of the Pentagon’s UFO program, Lue Elizondo, recently gave an interview to the NY Post saying that he had a meeting with a very senior Department

  Arjun Walia, author and philosopher

of Defense official who mentioned he knew the craft were not of human origin as well. Former Air Force Colonel Ross Dedrickson also claimed to have information that these objects were not human made, and from what he knew, the beings are benevolent, concerned about the well being of our planet.

I recognize not all people will consider these sources ‘credible evidence.’

Beyond these testimonies are things like documented cases of sightings or “contact” experiences. According to these cases, people report both benevolent and malevolent experiences, often linked to the UFO phenomenon.

So, if they are not human, what are they? The obvious truth is, we don’t know, but there’s no harm in speculating.

UFOs: Unending False Official-Narratives

by Rich Scheck

Government lies never seem to stop! Virtually all official narratives linked to important historical events like the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the assassination of JFK and 9/11 are drenched in untruth with false claims, overt propaganda or outright lies.

At the top of this list of spun stories is the topic of UFOs where the entire conversation entails a psychological operation where decent citizens are subjected to an unending stream of misinformation that makes the Santa Claus legend and tales of the Easter Bunny seem plausible by comparison.

The recent deluge of MSM coverage of the alleged “UFO Threat” follows decades of dismissal of claims by credible Ufologists that these mysterious objects are worthy of attention. The best explanation for legitimizing their existence is to justify a massive increase in defense spending by the usual suspects in the MIC.

With the Covid fear campaign losing steam and traditional efforts to demonize Russia and China barely impacting an already credulous polity, something dramatic needs to be cooked up by the Global Elite to reset the public’s panic button.

A Project BlueBeam scenario has long been in the works, perhaps to be deployed soon as a last resort by the Davos Desperados to hammer home their full spectrum dominance plan of total control over humanity.

Will it work? Perhaps! The latest wrinkle for those paying attention involves the ubiquitous and nimble (former?) intelligence operative Luis Elizondo, who has jumped from being a government insider linked to John Brennan, Jim Clapper and the DOD’s ATTIP project (supposedly tracking UFOs), to his role as a leading spokesman for the failed TTSA effort to privatize UFO Disclosure to his new persona as a disgruntled whistleblower out to expose official duplicity.

This would seem to make him the Michael Cohen of Disclosure since Lue has been the most prominent face of the official threat assertions that he is now supposedly attempting to refute.

This confessional posture has lured the unlikely support of famed civil rights attornery, Daniel Sheehan, who is simultaneously the lawyer for Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project which boldly proclaims there is no ET threat!

It will be intriguing to watch Sheehan to see if he successfully navigates this highwire act by Elizondo to rehabilitate his credibility and convince skeptics like Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt and many others that he deserves to be believed.

Dr. Greer assures us that Danny will disassociate himself from Elizondo if the spook recants on his pledge to tell the full “truth” about ETs, UFOs and other aspects of the Secret Space Program. His position has been put in question after last night’s appearance by Elizondo on the Tucker Carlson Show where he said little that reversed his previous threat claims.

The next act in this drama comes when top Ufologist Richard Dolan interviews Lue as part of a special virtual conference on UFO Secrecy slated to run later today.

With the scheduled release of Senator Rubio’s UAP Task Force report fast approaching, today’s events and those that follow are certain to keep this topic bubbling in the public consciousness for the foreseeable future.

The big question remains: has UFO come to stand for “Unending False Official-Narratives” or will that appellation reclaim its original meaning of Unidentified Flying Objects as the ET Truth Embargo of 75 years since Roswell finally comes to an end?

Former Navy Pilot Recalls Seeing UFOs Daily Off of Virginia Beach

Article by Jessie O’Neill                                              May 16, 2021                                            (foxnews.com)

• On May 16th, former Navy pilot Lt. Ryan Graves told CBS’s Bill Whitaker on “60 Minutes” that he would see UFOs flying in restricted airspace off the coast of Virginia nearly every day for two years beginning in 2019. ”[I]f these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue,” Graves said. “But because it looks slightly different, we’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.” (see a video clip of Graves on ’60 Minutes’ and the full interview below)

• Navy pilots who have seen the UFOs believe they could be a secret US technology, enemy surveillance devices, or something entirely different, said Graves. “This is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes. You have propulsion… I don’t know what it is, frankly.” Graves considers the UFOs like ones seen in a Pentagon-confirmed Navy video near San Diego and the ones he’s witnessed off of Virginia Beach a security threat. “I would say…the highest probability is it’s a threat observation program,” Graves said.

• The former head of the Pentagon’s UFO threat identification program Luis Elizondo concurs with Graves. “Imagine a technology that can do 600 to 700 G-forces, that can fly 13,000 miles an hour, that, that can evade radar and can fly through air and water and possibly space, and oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity,” says Elizondo. “That’s precisely what we’re seeing,”.

A former Navy pilot says he witnessed UFOs flying in restricted airspace off the coast of

Virginia nearly every day for two years beginning in 2019.

Former Lt. Ryan Graves told CBS’s “60 Minutes” that the unidentified objects — like ones seen in a Pentagon-confirmed Navy video near San Diego — are a security threat.

The latest firsthand account comes a month ahead of a report by the national intelligence director and secretary of defense on unidentified aerial phenomena, a measure that was including in a COVID-19 relief bill passed in December.

“I am worried, frankly. You know, if these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a

massive issue,” Graves said, according to a clip of the “60 Minutes” interview, which is set to air Sunday. “But because it looks

                   UFO seen off of Virginia

slightly different, we’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.”

Seamen who have seen the unidentified objects believe they could be a secret US technology, enemy surveillance devices, or something entirely different, Graves told CBS.

“This is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes. You have propulsion, right? I don’t know. I don’t know what it is, frankly,” the lieutenant told correspondent Bill Whitaker as he watched an unclassified video.

Obama Admits UFOs Are Real, But ‘We Don’t Know Exactly What They Are’

Article by Lee Brown                                          May 18, 2021                                            (nypost.com)

• On May 18th, former President Barack Obama was a virtual guest on James Corden’s “The Late Late Show”. In the light-hearted banter with Corden and the show’s bandleader, Reggie Watts, Obama said that his post-presidency life was “pretty darn good” now he has “less stress, less burden” and more time to spend with his wife and young adult daughters. Then Watts asked Obama the truth about aliens. Obama suggested that Watts may himself be an alien. “Do we know what he looks like behind those glasses?” Obama joked.

• “[T]he truth is that when I came into office, I asked (about extraterrestrials),” Obama told the British comedian. “I was like, ‘All right, is there the lab somewhere where we’re keeping the alien specimens and spaceships?” But the answer was ‘No’. The former president laughed off rumors that the US government is hiding alien beings and spacecraft, but stated, “When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air.” (see 2:58 minute video of Obama on the show below)

• Obama then conceded that there really are UFO sightings that the government can’t explain. “[W]hat is true — and I’m actually being serious here — is that there’s footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are.” “We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory … they did not have an easily explainable pattern,” he said of growing reports of UFOs of ‘unidentified aerial phenomenon’ recorded by the Navy.

• “So I think that people still take (UFOs) seriously – trying to investigate and figure out what that is. But I have nothing to report to you today.” Obama wouldn’t elaborate on his own views on what the mysterious objects likely were.

 

Former President Barack Obama has laughed off rumors that the US government has

a secret stash of aliens and their spacecraft — while conceding that there really are UFO sightings that the government can’t explain.

“When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air,” the 44th commander-in-chief teased James Corden in a video chat on “The Late Late Show” aired early Tuesday.

“Look, the truth is that when I came into office, I asked,” Obama told the British comedian with a laugh.

“I was like, ‘All right, is there the lab somewhere where we’re keeping the alien specimens and spaceships?’

“They did a little bit of research … and the answer was, ‘No,’” he deadpanned to laughter.

“But what is true — and I’m actually being serious here — is that there’s footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are,” he said of growing reports of unidentified flying objects.

“We can’t explain how they moved, their trajectory … they did not have an easily explainable pattern,” he said of growing reports of sights, many recorded by the Navy.

Military Leaders Provide Insight Into the Re-Established US Space Command

Article by Amanda Miller                                               May 8, 2021                                                 (airforcemag.com)

• On May 7th, several of the newest top officials in the U.S. Space Command appeared during a Space Foundation virtual ‘Symposium365’ talk. The members of Space Command, which was re-established 19 months ago and whose geographic area of responsibility starts 100 kilometers above the surface of the Earth, intentionally come from diverse backgrounds. Only a few come from Space Force – so far.

• Army General James H. Dickinson leads U.S. Space Command from its provisional headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, although the Department of the Air Force may ultimately choose to select Redstone Arsenal, Alabama as U.S. Space Command’s permanent home. Either way, more partner organizations will be “coming to work” over the next 12 to 18 months. “[O]ne of our strongest deterrence capabilities…within the command is that strong allied and partner integration that we have,” said Dickinson, whose background is in missile defense. “So our ability to be able to capture that energy and start bringing those folks into the command itself is very powerful.”

• One way the U.S. Space Command tries to expand the pool of international partners is by inviting countries to take part in the space situational awareness exercise under ‘Global Sentinel’. Ten partners including the U.S. took part in the last Global Sentinel in 2019. Invitations to participate in Global Sentinel serve “as a lead-in to signing space situational awareness agreements with these partner nations,” says Space Force Colonel Devin R. Pepper, deputy director of U.S. Space Command’s Strategy, Plans, and Policy Directorate and garrison commander of soon-to-be Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado. Chile and Poland are the newest partner nation prospects.

• Air Force Maj. Gen. William G. Holt II spent his career as a special operations pilot before becoming U.S. Space Command’s director of operations, training, and force development. He characterized the command’s makeup as an even mix of Air Force, Army and Navy backgrounds, with a “handful of Marines”. Holt credited Space Force Chief of Space of Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond with the level of ‘jointness’ intended “to change the dynamic and really bring in a warfighting … viewpoint from across the force. “[H]aving the different backgrounds as far as the different services, I think, was really critical to [Raymond] bringing me in.”

• The Space Command is looking ahead to when the military will want to operate beyond Earth orbit. “More and more nations are operating in space,” said the U.S. Space Command’s senior enlisted leader, Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sgt. Scott H. Stalker. He cited the United Arab Emirates’ Hope Mars Mission satellite orbiting the red planet as “the first planetary science mission led by an Arab Islamic country.” Stalker, formerly with the DIA and U.S. Cyber Command, acknowledged that, “We are no longer the undisputed leaders in space.”

• U.S. Space Command’s Deputy Director of Intelligence Sean M. Kirkpatrick said, “We’ve got a huge Moon competition going on. We’ve got a Mars competition going on… We are going to have to extend our mission space to the cislunar, lunar, and Martian orbits and regimes at some point in the not-too-distant future.” To gather intelligence in deep space, the US needs to take advantage of space technology that the commercial sector will provide. “The customary five to ten-year time frame for a defense acquisition program would take too long.”

• Army Brig. Gen. Thomas L. James served in Operation Desert Storm in the 1990s when GPS was brand new and unreliable. “The way they operated then— because it was only a partial (communications satellite) constellation — is some of the time, you knew where you were with great precision. Some of the time, you knew that you didn’t know where you were at all based off of the GPS. And some of the time, you thought you might know where you are.” Today, General James is “passionate” about having space itself as a resource.

 

          Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond

Special-ops aviators, a physicist from the intelligence community, and an enlisted Marine with decades of deployments: U.S. Space Command’s military and civilian leaders who spoke May 7 were as likely to come from strictly space backgrounds as not.

Several of the newest combatant command’s top officials appeared during a Space Foundation virtual Symposium365 talk. They indicated that their diverse backgrounds are by design and that few Space Force personnel are yet a part.

    General James H. Dickinson

Some of the day’s insights from inside the command, which was re-established 19 months ago and whose geographic area of responsibility starts 100 kilometers above the surface of the Earth:

More Partners, More Deterrence

      Colonel Devin R. Pepper

Army Gen. James H. Dickinson leads U.S. Space Command from its provisional headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. He said more allied and partner organizations will be “physically coming to work” at Peterson over the next 12 to 18 months and he sees “that energy expanding.”

“When I look at deterrence, one of our strongest deterrence capabilities, or measures, within the command is that strong allied and partner integration that we have,” said Dickinson, whose background is in missile defense. “We are starting to see a lot more allies that want to be … part of the space enterprise, want to work with U.S. Space Command,” he said. “So our ability to be able to capture that energy and start bringing those folks into the command itself is very powerful.”

           Maj. Gen. William G. Holt II

The Department of the Air Force selected Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, as U.S. Space Command’s permanent home pending an environmental review, though the selection is under review.

One way U.S. Space Command tries to expand the pool of international partners is

Pepper, deputy director of U.S. Space Command’s Strategy, Plans, and Policy Directorate and garrison commander of “soon-to-be Buckley Space Force Base” in Colorado. Pepper was nominated to be a brigadier general in January.

Ten partners including the U.S. took part in the last Global Sentinel in 2019. Pepper mentioned Chile and Poland as prospects. He said the invitations serve “as a lead-in to

development.

A career special operations pilot, he characterized the command’s makeup as “actually very joint” and “kind of an even mix of Air Force background, Army background, Navy background—we have a handful of Marines, including our director of our cyber operations is a Marine one-star—and then, actually, not a whole lot of Space Force officers at this point in time,” Holt said.
Holt credited Space Force Chief of Space of Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond with the level of jointness intended “to change the dynamic and really bring in a warfighting … viewpoint from across the force.

“I’m not saying that the old Air Force Space Command wasn’t warfighters, because they absolutely did that every day—they supported us; they deployed downrange—but having the different backgrounds as far as the different services, I think, was really critical to [Raymond] bringing me in.”

Release of UFO Truth Could Be the ‘Most Profound Moment in History’ Says Steve Bassett

Article by Patrick Knox                                                  May 10, 2021                                                 (thesun.co.uk)

• In 2017 we learned the revelation that the Pentagon was researching a series of unexplained intrusions into military airspace, including mysterious UFOs captured on video stalking US Navy ships. Defense officials confirmed the authenticity of those sightings. This led to lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee to give the military and government intelligence agencies a 180-day deadline to produce a declassified report on these UFOs, due in June.

• Steve Bassett (pictured above), the executive director of Paradigm Research Group and UFO lobbyist, has tirelessly worked to end the embargo of UFO information held by intelligence agencies since the Roswell UFO crash and cover-up in 1947. Bassett thinks we are now on the verge of UFO disclosure. He says that there is a group within the intelligence elite that wants to tell the truth about both UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters. Until very recently, all the US government could do was to deny that either UFOs or aliens exist, and ridicule as crazy anyone who reported them.

• “What is going down right now is extraordinary. This is really a big deal. We may be in the last days of the truth embargo,” Bassett told The Sun Online. “We might be finally about to get the confirmation of the ET presence we have been waiting [almost] 75 years for.” “This would be the most profound event in human history.”

• Bassett says there is no going back now. He believes that we’ll even see Congressional hearings on the UFO subject this summer, something that Bassett has been trying to instigate for years. He argues that the only way that UFO disclosure will happen is for military personnel to testify to the phenomena over many days and a number of committees – all watched by hundreds of millions of people.

• Since the US Navy releasing of high profile clips such as the infamous “Tic Tac” UFO video, competing theories on the videos continue to rage. Some claim the videos capture never-before-seen military aircraft or drones – ours or theirs. Others claim it shows otherworldly craft possibly piloted by aliens. Hardcore skeptics are still certain that the images on the videos are simply camera tricks, natural phenomena or hoaxes, notwithstanding the fact that Pentagon officials have authenticated the UFO footage as genuine.

• Nick Pope, who once investigated UFOs for the UK Ministry of Defence, told The Sun Online that the UFOs may be hypersonic drones from China or Russia that the US military somehow missed. Luis Elizondo, who headed up the Pentagon’s UFO program, said that UFOs could represent an intelligence failure on the level of 9/11.

 

          extraterrestrial disclosure

Steve Bassett, who has tirelessly worked to end the 74-year embargo of classified information on UFOs, told The Sun Online he believes intelligence agencies are preparing to lift the lid on extraterrestrial encounters.

The US Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the Director of National Intelligence to work with the Defense Department to provide a report by June 25 on unexplained sightings by the military.

The request came after revelations in 2017 that the Pentagon was researching a series of unexplained intrusions into military airspace, including mysterious objects captured on video stalking US Navy ships.

 ‘Tic Tac’ UFO seen off of California in 2004

Since then, defense officials have confirmed a number of UFO sightings – and even released stunning videos which show unexplained encounters in the sky, now often known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

And the most recent was confirmed as genuine to The Sun Online last month – with a video and series of photos showing a mysterious phenomena encountering US warships and fighter planes.

Bassett, the executive director of Paradigm Research Group and a lobbyist on this issue, says he believes US intelligence is about to end what he called the 74 year truth embargo.

And he said such a release of information may be the “most profound” moment in the history of mankind.

He told The Sun Online: “What is going down right now is extraordinary. This is really a big deal. We may be in the last days of the truth embargo.

“We might be finally about to get the confirmation of the ET presence we have been waiting [almost] 75 years for.

“This would be the most profound event in human history.”

The term “disclosure” is often used to refer to the the total and final admission by the government that aliens are not only visiting Earth, but the government hides the truth from the public.

New Civilian Photos of Britain’s Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident Show a Flying Orb

Article by Emma Parry                                               May 5, 2021                                               (thesun.co.uk)

• By now, almost everyone has heard of the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident in Suffolk, England in late December 1980. Two USAF airmen, Staff Sgt Jim Penniston and Airman John Burroughs, stationed at the twin NATO bases RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters nearby, saw strange lights and got close enough to a mysterious triangular UFO craft that they could touch it. Colonel Charles Halt then led a military team into the forest to investigate the sightings. Halt and his team also saw strange lights and a red orb with a black center “winking” back at them, and claimed a UFO fired a beam of light near their feet.

• Now, a local resident has come forward claiming that he was poaching animals in the Rendlesham Forest in December of 1980, and saw Colonel Halt and his men in the woods. “Now bear this in mind,” says the poacher, “before this encounter I saw and heard a lot of strange things in that forest. I could tell you stories that would bend your bones, so every time I went poaching, I always took my camera always hoping to capture some evidence.”

• On this night, he got his black and white photos. “I saw a basketball sized red orb. It had a black center like a pupil and looked just like an eye winking at you, just like Halt explained it. It was zig zagging between the trees, strange. Freaked me out, weird… I saw it before Halt. It passed me first. Halt and his team were about 200 meters away, I could hear all the noise. Later I saw another UFO – it was firing beams of light down to the ground, definitely looking for something, God knows what.”

• The poacher submitted his photos and story anonymously through the UFO Casebook website, which collects information about UFO sightings from around the world. “I’ve sat on this information for over 40 years and it feels good to get it out and show the truth,” said the anonymous poacher. “I tell you, what I witnessed was simply incredible, definitely extra-terrestrial. No two ways about it.” “After this thing happened, I was followed for weeks, I had my phone tapped – scary time.” “You can read books and watch TV shows about it, but I’m telling you, you had to be there to really understand and appreciate just how incredible this thing was, changed my life forever.”

• British UFO sleuth Philip Mantle, a former director of investigations for the British UFO Research Association, questions the digital format of the proffered photos. “With today’s digital technology I have become very wary of any alleged UFO photographs, even more so when the photographer is anonymous as he is here with these pictures. Before I could come to any conclusions, I would have to know a lot more detail about the type of camera, the film, the exposure and so on,” said Mantle. “Remember, if these photos are authentic and taken in 1980, they would be on film and not digital.”

• There have been various theories to explain the Rendlesham incident including a lighthouse, a Russian satellite re-entry, and a stolen truck of manure set on fire. Brit researcher Nick Redfern put forward an explanation tying the sighting to scientists from the UK’s top-secret laboratory, Porton Down in Wiltshire, that carried out mind control experiments. He claims that soldiers from the base were tripping on LSD while the scientists set up advanced holograms to create images of UFOs.

Britain’s biggest ever case for the first time.

They were supposedly taken in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk by a poacher who claims he saw the same UFO being hunted by a military team from a nearby US airbase.

The alleged witness claims he was 200ft away from Colonel Charles Halt, deputy base commander of RAF Bentwaters, and his men, when he spotted the

                            poacher photo

He said: “When I was younger, I was a poacher. I lived very close to Rendlesham Forest and frequently went poaching there. So back in 1980, 28 December, I was in the forest poaching.

“Now bear this in mind, before this encounter I saw and heard a lot of strange things in that forest. I could tell you stories that would bend your bones, so every time I went poaching, I always took my camera always hoping to capture some evidence.”

The case involved military witnesses from the twin NATO bases RAF Woodbridge and

RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk who saw strange lights in late December 1980.

Two airmen, Staff Sgt Jim Penniston and Airman John Burroughs, claim they got so close to a triangular craft they actually touched it.

Colonel Halt then led a military team into the forest to investigate the sightings.

They also saw strange lights and a red orb with a black centre “winking” back at them and claimed a UFO fired a beam of light near their feet.

Halt later wrote a memo to the MOD describing the freakish incident but it was filed away by defence chiefs.

NASA Hails China Space Ambitions As ‘Unifying Force’

Article by Tom O’Conner                                             May 5, 2021                                            (newsweek.com)

• On April 28th, China’s massive 18-story Long March 5B rocket roared out of the atmosphere to the flag waving cheers of the crowd and a symphony orchestra on the southern island Hainan province, carrying into orbit the core cabin module for the Tiangong modular space station (pictured above). (Note: After positioning the module in orbit, the 22.5 ton core stage of the spent rocket reentered the atmosphere and fell into the Indian Ocean on May 8th.)

• The People’s Liberation Army China Manned Space Engineering Office hailed the launch as an inauguration of “the third step” of the country’s human space exploration campaign. The first was to send a ‘taikonaut’ to and from space safely (as it did in 2003), and the second was to conduct extravehicular activity and orbital docking, tasks accomplished in 2008 and 2011.

• At this point, the Chinese have robotically gathered soil from, and planted a flag on the Moon. The China National Space Administration even landed the Chang’e 4 unmanned mission on the ‘yet untouched’ the far side of the Moon. But with the two temporary space labs comprising the beginning of the Tiangong modular space station, China can lay claim to the only other space station in Earth’s orbit, besides the International Space Station (ISS). Even the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs has nine projects already lined up for the Tiangong space station. But China has also announced plans for an International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), a scientific base either on or orbiting the Moon. Russia signed onto the ILRS in March, and put out a call for more international partners to join.

• Meanwhile, Beijing’s expanding economic, political and military influence has led to a significant deterioration of its relationship with Washington. Concerns about China’s business practices linger among U.S. policymakers. During his recent nomination hearing to head NASA before the Senate Commerce Committee, former Florida Senator Bill Nelson said, “There is a threat China poses in basically getting a lot of our secrets and getting a lot of our technology and invading a lot of our privacy.” The now head of NASA continued, “Now when you take that global concern and bring it to the space program, then you have to be concerned about the same thing.”

• Today, the International Space Station hosts personnel from the U.S., Russia, the European Union, Canada and Japan. But Chinese personnel are banned from ISS by the US Congress, citing intellectual property theft and development of an intercontinental ballistic missile program. It would take special consent of the FBI for NASA to even be allowed to participate with the Chinese space administration.

• In a statement sent to Newsweek, NASA insisted that it welcomes the strides made by its Chinese counterpart, viewing them as a mutual gain for all of mankind in spite of the terrestrial tensions between the two top powers. “NASA uses space and science as a unifying force. Exploration is a global endeavor – each milestone contributing to humanity’s understanding of the universe. And we look forward to China’s contributions to increased scientific understanding.”

• [Editor’s Note]  NASA is a “unifying force?” “Exploration is a global endeavor?” In 1963, two weeks after John F. Kennedy expressed support for this same ‘unifying force’ between NASA and the Soviet Union, the deep state murdered him. Now deep state-controlled NASA claims that it wants to set aside our geopolitical tensions and join together in space harmony, even though NASA is legally prohibited from doing so. But publications like Newsweek report it and so it magically becomes hard news, readily defended by the likes of Drudge and Snopes.

The reality is that the deep state has worked hard to keep anyone from going to the Moon since the Apollo Moon landings’ dog and pony show that came to an end in 1972. Behind the scenes, however, the deep state elite developed highly advanced secret space programs, establishing trade with other races and civilizations throughout the galaxy. They want the people on Earth to be obedient, mind-controlled economic slaves. They want us to believe that propellant-fueled rockets, digging up dirt on the Moon and Mars, and putting two space stations into orbit is the extent of our space technology.

Since WWII, the Western deep state has successfully gained control of nearly all of our planet’s banking and financial system, political system, mass media, social media, oil industry, medical and pharmaceutical industries, high tech, and our expansion into space. But the deep state has never managed to control Russia. And it pisses them off. This is why Russia has been the sworn enemy and scapegoat for every false flag or political scandal instigated by the deep state since their fabricated “Cold War” began.

Regardless of the so-called “news” reported by Newsweek, NASA and the deep state are not at all thrilled about Russia and China pushing past the institutional lethargy to resume our planet’s natural development, which has been strangled by the deep state’s occulted cabal since the time of Tesla. But it is this innate human desire to continue to push forward that has inspired the global military white hat Alliance, led by US military patriots, to embrace the groundswell of an awakening populist and move against the a thoroughly corrupted and evil deep state. We will soon succeed in removing the negative and greed-driven deep state completely from power so that our planet can move ahead toward a space-faring future, positive interaction with our galactic neighbors, and the release of advanced technologies that will utterly transform our society.

 

There’s a new major player in the final frontier, but the United States’ space agency under President

        Tiangong 3 modular space station

Joe Biden sees an upside to its top competitor’s success, even if U.S. scientists remain formally banned from cooperating with their Chinese counterparts.

For decades, the realm of outer space travel was dominated by the U.S. and Russia, a reality set by their Cold War-era space race that ultimately helped fuel historic developments now also being advanced by a range of countries across the globe, including in Europe, India, Israel, Japan and the United Arab Emirates.

No country’s rapid rise has grabbed as much global attention, however, as that of China, whose

            The People’s Liberation Army

accelerated ascendance into space mirrors its lightning growth back on Earth. Beijing’s expanding economic, political and military influence has led to a significant deterioration of its relationship with Washington, which has enjoyed unmatched superpower status since the fall of the Soviet Union.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson

As China celebrates the landmark launch of the first module to its planned space station, NASA is welcoming the strides made by its Chinese counterpart, viewing them as a mutual gain for all of mankind in spite of the terrestrial tensions between the two top powers.

          the International Space Station

“NASA uses space and science as a unifying force,” the agency said in a statement sent to Newsweek. “Exploration is a global endeavor, each milestone contributing to humanity’s understanding of the universe, and we look forward to China’s contributions to increased scientific understanding.”

China’s planned Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) large modular space station came closer to reality over the weekend in the southern island Hainan province where a massive 18-story LongMarch 5B rocket roared out of the atmosphere, successfully bringing the Tianhe (Harmony of the Heavens) core cabin module into orbit. Citizens waving national flags cheered on and the Xi’an Symphony Orchestra performed.

UFO Pentagon Report Could Spark an Alien ‘Arms Race’

Article by Dylan Donnelly                                              May 4, 2021                                               (express.co.uk)

• Last year, the US Department of Defense authorized the release of three unclassified Navy videos of mysterious UFOs from 2004 and 2015. The Pentagon verified they were investigating the incidents under a new UAP Task Force. “The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to US national security,” stated the DoD.

• More recently, videos were released that showed UFOs swarming around Navy warships. Last December, as part of his coronavirus relief bill, President Trump ordered the Pentagon to release all of its information on UAP/UFOs. This report is due for release by the end of June.

• Cristina Gomez, host of Paradigm Shifts UFO Channel on YouTube, said the report’s release could be dangerous if it confirms the existence of alien technology on Earth. But if the report points to extraterrestrials, Gomez thinks that the Pentagon would likely blame UFOs on “suspected foreign adversary drone technologies”, to avoid revealing their ‘off-world’ origin.

• “If a government was to acquire concrete evidence that these craft that are flying in our skies and traveling in our oceans are originating from one or more extraterrestrial civilizations, it would be entirely prudent of them to investigate whether or not they represented an existential threat to us as a species,” said Gomez. “I can imagine then that the entire subject would receive the very highest security classification during that investigative process.”

• Ms Gomez says that if alien technology is uncovered by the report, it could destabilize global relations and lead to a new type of “arms race”. “[I]f such were the case that the concrete evidence consisted of (UFO) wreckage, or at least some recovered components of vastly superior technology, then logically there would be the concern of such technology falling into the hands of one or more of their foreign adversaries. Not only would the government in question not want to alert other nations to the fact that it now possessed extraterrestrial technology, but it would also have a sudden need to know if other nations also had in their possession and were studying similar technological artifacts.” “It could and would be seen at the highest levels as a new form of military arms race.”

• Luis Elizondo, a whistleblower and former head of the Pentagon’s ‘Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program’, told the New York Post the US “acknowledged the reality of UAP”, and that there is a connection between UAP/UFO sightings and nuclear technology. “[W]e’ve actually had some of our nuclear capabilities disabled by these things,” said Elizondo. “There is absolutely evidence that UAPs have an active interest in our nuclear technology.”

 

Former President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to release all of its information on “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP) within 18 days in his last coronavirus relief bill in December. The Pentagon’s brief into “observed airborne objects that have not been identified” is expected to be released this June, and comes after videos were released by the US showing UFO’s around Navy warships.

   Cristina Gomez

Cristina Gomez, host of Paradigm Shifts UFO Channel on YouTube, said the reports release could be dangerous if it confirms the existence of alien technology on Earth.

However, she also expects the US would not give “full disclosure” if the report finds extra-terrestrials, suggesting the Pentagon would likely describe any UAPs as “suspected foreign adversary drone technologies, rather than mentioning them as having an ‘Off-World’ origin”.

She added: “If a government was to acquire concrete evidence that these craft that are flying in our skies and travelling in our oceans are originating from one or more extra-terrestrial civilisations, it would be entirely prudent of them to investigate whether or not they represented an existential threat to us as a species.

Florida Security Camera Captures Flying Orbs of Light

Article by Yaron Steinbuch                                             May 4, 2021                                           (nypost.com)

• William Fuentes of Palm Coast, Florida (just south of St. Augustine) recently captured video of strange orbs zigzagging across his yard. He told Orlando’s Fox 35 that he’s watched the video maybe one hundred times. “Is it drones, or is it the birds, or bats? Everything goes through your mind. But in the end, I couldn’t really explain it.” (see 6 second security video below)

• The video footage shows two light orb objects flying in tandem with a palm tree in the foreground. They seemingly draw closer to each other in a swooping motion before accelerating off into the distance.

• “All the interesting cases are the ones when you don’t find out,” said Csaba Palotai, associate professor of aerospace, physics and space sciences at Florida Tech. He called the recent spate of sightings a “fascinating phenomenon.”

• Last week, ex-Pentagon official Luis Elizondo said he believes the federal government is covering up the existence of UFOs. He hasn’t been able to get the Defense Department to act on what he described as a serious national security risk. A bombshell government report on UFOs is set to be released before the end of June.

 

                 Csaba Palotai

A Florida resident’s home security camera captured video of strange orbs zigzagging across the night sky – adding to the growing mystery surrounding UFOs.

William Fuentes of Palm Coast told Orlando’s Fox 35: “I have watched it maybe 100 times now. Taken screenshots, blown it up.
“Is it drones, or is it the birds, or bats, you know? Everything goes through your mind. But in the end, I couldn’t really explain it,” he added.

The footage shows the two objects appear to fly in tandem with a palm tree in the foreground. They seemingly draw closer to each other in a swooping motion before accelerating off into the distance.

Csaba Palotai, associate professor and program chairman of aerospace, physics and space sciences at Florida Tech called the recent spate of sightings a “fascinating phenomenon.”

The Val Johnson Incident of 1979 in Northern Minnesota

Article by Hannah Shirley                                                 May 4, 2021                                               (duluthnewstribune.com)

• In the early morning of August 27, 1979, Marshall County Sheriff’s deputy Val Johnson was driving his squad car down a dark highway about 16 miles outside Stephen, Minnesota, near the Canadian border. Johnson saw a bright orb of light, about a foot in diameter and hovering 3 or 4 feet off the ground ahead of him. He drove right into the orb which crashed through his windshield and then traveled back out of the car. Johnson apparently blacked out.

• When Johnson came to at about 1:40 am and called his dispatch to report the crash, he realized that he had been unconscious for about a half hour. Both his wristwatch and his car’s clock were 14 minutes slow. “I don’t know what happened,” he said over the radio while he waited for an ambulance. “Something hit me.”

• The incident left the car’s windshield and one headlight smashed, and both antennas bent. Skid marks from the vehicle could be seen for 800 feet. After being examined by a physician, Johnson was diagnosed with “welder-type” burns on his eyes similar to those suffered by people exposed to bright lights. But investigators could never determine the cause of the crash.

• In the forty years since the “Val Johnson Incident”, the patrol car has become a permanent exhibit and the biggest attraction in the Marshall County Historical Society Museum. In recent years, interest in the car and Johnson’s story have only grown, according to Kent Broten, president of the historical society. However, Johnson has never actually claimed that he saw a UFO. He maintains that he doesn’t know what he saw.

• Chad Lewis, a self-described “researcher of the weird” has written extensively about the Val Johnson incident and spoken about it on numerous occasions at the museum. “Some said they were around at that time, and it was all blown out of proportion,” says Lewis. In 1979, “everybody had UFO fever.” But Lewis says that other people in the community were “down to earth, rural people, [who] weren’t quick to make up a ruse for publicity”, and believed that Val had seen something.

• Eventually, the world moved on and the Val Johnson Incident faded from a sensational headline to a quirky part of local history. The new, younger fans of the Val Johnson Incident aren’t as interested in Val Johnson himself so much as they are in the paranormal and unexplained. Some make the trip every year just to see the car.

• Today, the Val Johnson Incident is considered one of the more significant events in ufology due to the facts that the incident left damage to the vehicle, that the reporting party was someone as credible as a sheriff’s deputy, and that independent investigators examined the car and failed to come up with any explanation. The hallmarks of the case – the loss of time, the faded memory, Johnson’s strange injuries, the bright light – would all become common elements of future UFO “sightings”. “If [Johnson] was looking to make this up, he would have been hard-pressed,” said Lewis. “[U]nless he was very interested in UFO literature and folklore, [but] he probably wouldn’t have known that.”

• Many skeptics at the time pointed out other plausible explanations, even if none could be proved. Some believed that Johnson was hot-rodding his vehicle out on the county road that night, and made the event up to cover his misconduct. Others believe he actually encountered a plane smuggling drugs into the state from Canada. Lewis says that people would be surprised how often people in rural northwest Minnesota notice strange things in the night sky. “Most of the people that talk to me said, ‘I’m not saying what it was, it was just really weird…something I’ve never seen.’ I think people are not aware of how common these reports have become.”

 

WARREN, Minn. — Whatever you believe happened the night of Aug. 27, 1979, one

                              Val Johnson

thing is certain: Val Johnson’s police cruiser hit something.

In the moments after the Marshall County Sheriff’s deputy awoke in his car in the middle of the night on a dark road, the front of his vehicle bearing obvious damage, that was the only thing he knew for certain, too.

“I don’t know what happened,” he said over the radio to a county dispatcher while he waited for an ambulance. “Something hit me.”

Johnson’s call to dispatch came at about 1:40 a.m. about 16 miles outside Stephen, Minn. Johnson didn’t know it yet, but he had been unconscious for about a half hour. The deputy was known for carefully setting his watch to match the dashboard clock in his cruiser b

                Val Johnson’s patrol car

efore every shift – but when he awoke, both his watch and the clock were 14 minutes slow.

The details of the crash only got stranger. Johnson told the dispatcher that just before the crash, he saw a bright orb of light, about 8 to 12 inches in diameter and hovering 3 or 4 feet off the ground. The last thing he remembered was driving into the light, and seeing the orb enter the car through his windshield before going back out.

The incident left the car’s windshield and one headlight smashed, and both antennas bent. Skid marks from the vehicle could be seen for 800 feet. After being examined by a physician, Johnson was diagnosed with “welder-type” burns on his eyes similar to those suffered by people exposed to bright lights.

Investigators were brought in, but could never determine the cause of the crash.

Those who were directly involved in the night’s events couldn’t be reached – some loved ones told the Grand Forks Herald that after 40 years of cold calls, they had grown reticent about discussing what has come to be known as the “Val Johnson Incident.”

Elon Musk’s SpaceX to Launch 2,824 Satellites to Provide Global High Speed Internet

Article by Malvika Gurung                                                May 1, 2021                                                  (trak.in)

• The FCC has given the American aerospace company SpaceX approval to deploy 2,824 Starlink satellites at a lower earth orbit, to provide high-speed internet connectivity services for rural areas and those where fiber optic cables and cell towers are unable to reach. With the Starlink satellites in place, internet speed will increase up to 100 megabytes per second.

• Lowering the altitude of satellite positioning will improve space safety and reducing power flux density emissions, thereby improving the interference environment and lower elevation angles to improve the customer experience. Lower altitudes and significant maneuverability should result in lower collision risk and an improved orbital debris environment.

• On April 28th, SpaceX launched 60 more Starlink satellites from the Space Launch Complex at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. SpaceX has transcended its initial internet constellation of 1,440 broadband satellites. The company ultimately aims to deploy about 12,000 satellites in all. The Starlink constellation will cost it roughly $10 billion.

 

In an attempt to provide high-speed internet connectivity services for rural areas and those where fiber optic cables and cell towers are unable to reach, the American aerospace company SpaceX has gotten approval to deploy over 2000 Starlink satellites at a lower earth orbit, by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

On April 28, SpaceX launched 60 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, United States.

SpaceX Gets Approval on Tuesday

The centibillionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX had asked FCC for approval to fly 2,824 satellites at a lower orbit of Earth, as part of its Starlink project, as per which the internet speed will increase up to 100 megabytes per second.

According to Starlink’s website, “Starlink will deliver high speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive or completely unavailable.”

Pentagon’s Inspector General Launches Probe Into Handling of UFO Encounters

Article by Adam Keyhoe                                              May 4, 2021                                                  (thedrive.com)

• In April 2020, the US Department of Defense (DoD) ‘officially released’ three UFO videos captured by Navy aviators off of the US East and West Coasts, including the ‘Tic Tac’ UFO video from 2004, although they had been previously ‘unofficially’ released in December 2017. The DoD re-released the videos “in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos.”

• More recently, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell published “leaked” images of bizarre UFOs swarming US Navy destroyers off of Southern California in 2019. The DoD quickly ‘authenticated’ those images recorded by Navy personnel. Reporter George Knapp also recently published photos depicting a separate set of alleged UAP/UFO events that took place in recent years off the East Coast.

• Dod spokesperson Susan Gough said that the Navy UFO photos and videos were “provided to some web news outlets without following the proper procedures for authorized release of information.” Gough declined to comment on which outlets were “provided” with the information. Also, according to Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral Michael Gilday, the DoD has provided no details regarding the context of these confirmed UFO videos. The UFOs remain unidentified and the underlying facts surrounding these UAP/UFO incidents remain extremely limited. Gilday did note that “there have been other sightings by aviators in the air and by other ships not only of the United States, but other nations – and of course other elements within the U.S. joint force.”

• According to Gough, no formal investigation has been opened into the unauthorized release of the UFO photos and videos. The DoD has further declined to comment on the context of the videos, or the accuracy of media claims that these videos depict advanced craft.

• This repeated pattern of unaccountability has raised concerns that these airspace breaches arguably constitute a major intelligence failure. The confusing and often controversial nature of these UFO sightings may also contribute to a delayed or muted response by relevant governmental agencies.

• In an attempt to clear up some of this confusion, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence requested a public report on these strange UFO encounters, which is to be released in June. The committee’s request specifically acknowledged a lack of a “unified, comprehensive process within the Federal Government for collecting and analyzing intelligence on unidentified aerial phenomena, despite the potential threat.”

• On May 3, 2021, the apparent lack of seriousness surrounding this topic, as well as the lack of support in terms of Pentagon resources and expertise, prompted the DoD’s Inspector General to announce that it is opening an ‘evaluation’ into “the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding unidentified aerial phenomena”, i.e.: UFOs. The notice gives various organizations within the US military, including multiple entities in the US Intelligence Community, five days to designate a senior individual as a point of contact.

• The commands on the Inspector General’s list include the US Central Command, US Northern Command, and US Special Operations Command. However, the list does not include the US Indo-Pacific Command, which has seen unusual incidents involving unidentified aircraft in recent years.

• It is unclear whether the Department of Defense Inspector General’s evaluation will impact the timing of the release of the Senate Committee report. Hopefully, in the coming months the public will learn more facts about the UAP/UFO issue and the DoD’s response to it, or lack thereof. If new insights do not surface from the Senate report, they may well come from the DoD’s Inspector General’s report.

 

The Department of Defense Inspector General issued an announcement yesterday

         Admiral Michael Gilday

that it is opening an evaluation into “the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).“ Importantly, the announcement specified an evaluation rather than an investigation, likely framing the inquiry in terms of policy instead of specific allegations of wrongdoing. The notice gave various organizations within the U.S. military, including multiple entities that are also members of the U.S. Intelligence Community, five days to designate a senior individual as a point of contact.

The distribution of the list notably includes the commanders of U.S. Central Command, U.S. Northern Command, and U.S. Special Operations Command. The list does not however include other combatant commands, such as U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, which has seen unusual incidents involving unidentified aircraft in recent years. The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General could not be reached for comment on why only some commands were included.

The Inspector General’s announcement comes at a time when this issue is receiving

high-profile media attention. The War Zone team has covered this topic for several years, including a recent story concerning a bizarre incident involving unidentified aircraft swarming U.S. Navy warships off the Southern California coast. Since our story, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell published leaked photos and videos apparently connected to the event. The photos and video were quickly authenticated by the Department of Defense as being recorded by Navy personnel, but no details regarding their context have been confirmed by the Pentagon. Reporter George Knapp also recently published photos depicting a separate set of alleged UAP events that took place in recent years off the East Coast.

Defense spokesperson Susan Gough told us that the photos and video were “provided to some web news outlets without following the proper procedures for authorized release of information.” She further stated that the Department of Defense concluded that confirming the cockpit photographs and night-vision video were taken by Navy personnel would “reduce public misperceptions regarding their authenticity.” Gough declined to comment on which outlets were “provided” with the information.

It is interesting to note that the Pentagon used very similar language to Gough’s statemen when it officially released three controversial UAP videos, seen below, including one with the filename “FLIR” that shows an object that is now commonly referred to as the “Tic Tac,” in April 2020. “DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos,” a statement at the time read.

According to Gough, no formal investigation has been opened into the unauthorized release of the photos and videos. She further declined to comment on any questions regarding the context of the video, or the accuracy of media claims that these videos depict advanced craft.

Massive Blast on Proxima Centauri Might Have Wiped Out Alien Life

Article by Bilal Waqar                                               May 1, 2021                                                  (wonderfulengineering.com)

• Proxima Centauri, at 4.243 light-years away from Earth (9.46 trillion kilometers) is the closest known star to our Sun, and it is the solar host to at least two known planets. Meredith MacGregor, an assistant professor at the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy, and her team had set up a program that directed nine instruments towards Proxima Centauri, including NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. All of these were able to record a massive flare coming right out of the Proxima Centauri.

• “The star went from normal to 14,000 times brighter when seen in ultraviolet wavelengths over the span of a few seconds,” said MacGregor. “It’s the first time we’ve ever had this kind of multi-wavelength coverage of a stellar flare. Usually, you’re lucky if you can get two instruments.”

• The super radiative explosion lasted for seven seconds and was the largest ever recorded coming out of a Milky Way star. The current reasoning for these explosions is that when magnetic fields close to the surface of a star twist, it causes a deadly wave of the radiative explosion. Scientists say with this new data, they will be able to study better how stars generate flares.

• Proxima Centauri is a “red-dwarf” star that is only one-eighth the size of the Sun. But the flare it blew into the milky way is termed as the largest and deadliest radiation ever to come from the surface of a star. A journal published in the Astrophysical Letters states, “The flare was so big that scientists think it may have spelled doom for any life present on nearby exoplanets in orbit.” The colossal solar flare was so big that it sure would have burnt out any extra-terrestrial life on a planet near the Proxima Centauri.

 

Scientists just termed a gigantic wave of fire as the biggest flare ever recorded in the

Milky Way. And it might have wiped out alien life on another planet.

The flowing flare was seen coming out from the Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun, that lies 9.46 trillion kilometers and 4.243 light-years away from earth. Scientists claimed of recording the massive burst of fire from the “red-dwarf” star, the distance of which from the sun is almost the same that it has from the earth.

Scientists state it holds a significant position. Why? Because it is the closest known star to the sun and serves as a solar host to at least two planets. It is one-eighth the size of the sun, but the flare it blew into the milky way is termed as the largest and deadliest radiation that came out from the surface of a star ever.

A journal published in the Astrophysical Letters states, “The flare was so big that scientists think it may have spelled doom for any life present on nearby exoplanets in orbit, reshaping the search for life beyond Earth’s solar system.”

“The star went from normal to 14,00 times brighter when seen in ultraviolet wavelengths over the span of a few seconds,” said MacGregor, an assistant professor at the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy (CASA). The discovery has paved the path for a new physics that will probably change how we perceive stellar fires.

Past UFO Sightings and Conspiracies in North Texas

Article by Chris Sadeghi                                          April 30, 2021                                               (wfaa.com)

• Only a few months ago, a silver monolith in Utah spurred curiosity and copycats. Then in February, a recording from the cockpit of an American Airlines flight captured the pilot reporting a “long, cylindrical object” flying by above the plane. The public’s fascination with UFOs and the possibility of alien lifeforms is timeless. Many reports of sightings from the 1970s, preserved by the SMU Jones Film Library in northeastern Texas, offer the same theories and explanations that we see today.

• In 1973, a woman driving home to Dallas from Denton said she saw something in the air that was “silver and reflecting light.” After looking down at the road, she looked back at the sky and the object was gone.

• For example, in 1974, the National Enquirer’s Blue-Ribbon Panel of UFO Investigators came to North Texas to examine a silver sphere approximately the size of a bowling ball. The man who discovered the sphere answered questions about how he discovered it lying undisturbed on the ground but could offer no explanation as to how it got there.

• One UFO “expert” hypothesized that United States conflict in the Middle East may have captured the interest of extraterrestrial life and they could be arriving to “witness the beginning of the end.”

• But the most famous UFO story in North Texas happened in 1897 in Aurora, Texas, a small town located 26 miles north of Fort Worth where it was reported that a flying saucer collided with a local windmill. The alien pilot, affectionately known as ‘Ned the Alien’, was pulled from the wreckage and buried in the Aurora Cemetery.

• In 1973, a UFO bureau from Oklahoma City walked the Aurora cemetery with metal detectors looking for Ned’s unmarked burial site, and over a nearby well where the windmill once stood. “I would say the evidence has accumulated until now there is no doubt in my mind it is authentic and there is something here,” said the director of the UFO bureau. Legal hurdles prevented them from doing any actual digging at the cemetery.

• In 2017, Dallas’ WFAA news reporter Kevin Reece revisited the site of the old well and the cemetery for the 120th anniversary of the Aurora UFO crash and found both plenty of believers and non-believers. Aurora welcomes visitors interested in the legend with a big silver spaceship and windmill that sit by the roadside as you enter the town. A Texas Historical Commission placard is mounted at the entrance to the Aurora Cemetery and tells the story of the crash and the belief the cemetery is the final resting place for a life that began on another planet. The presumptive resting spot is marked by a giant rock adorned with pennies and written messages from visitors paying their respects.

AURORA, Texas — So long as there are stars in the sky, the question will be asked if there is life out there. It is a possibility we have never been able to completely dismiss.

Especially when we think we see an answer.
Within the past few months, our imaginations have gone wild after a silver monolith in Utah spurred curiosity and copycats.

Then in February, a recording from the cockpit of an American Airlines flight captured the pilot reporting a “long, cylindrical object” quickly flying by above the plane.

The fascination with unidentified flying objects and the chances they carry alien lifeforms is timeless. WFAA stories from the 1970s preserved by the SMU Jones Film Library show a variety of different sightings and discoveries prompting the same theories, conspiracies, and explanations we see today.

In another story a year earlier, a woman driving home to Dallas from Denton said she saw something in the air that was “silver and reflecting light.” After looking down at the road, she starred back at the sky and the object was gone.

A simple sighting that spurred complex conspiracies.

One UFO “expert” hypothesized that United States conflict in the Middle East may have captured the interest of extra-terrestrial life and they could be arriving to “witness the beginning of the end.”

But when talking about UFO stories in North Texas, one sticks out more than any other. A sighting and story in 1897 have only grown in stature and legend in Aurora, Texas.

The small town located 26 miles north of Fort Worth has fully embraced the story of “Ned the Alien” and his supposed spaceship’s collision with a windmill. When the pilot’s otherworldly body was discovered in the wreckage, the legend is told it was buried in the Aurora Cemetery.

A 1973 WFAA story shows a UFO bureau from Oklahoma City walking the cemetery looking for an unmarked burial site using metal detectors to comb over a nearby well where the windmill once stood.
