• “Select Marines” forming the brand new ‘Marine Corps Forces Space Command’ are to begin training at the Army’s Space and Missile Defense School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, by order of Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger. The Marines will learn “situational awareness of space capabilities, space assets, space products, and the impact of space on operations.”
• “We will get them schooled up on certification tables to be fully prepared to bring their space expertise back to whomever is requesting it,” said Maj. Steven Richards with the 2nd Space Company, 1st Space Battalion, 1st Space Brigade.
• In plain English, they’ll likely be getting trained on satellite communications and how to ward off enemy missiles (ie: jam enemy communications) under the instruction of experts at the Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command. After they complete space training, the Marines will embed with Army space support teams that ‘enhance’ intelligence and operation planning capabilities for units in the field.
• “I have a huge affinity for the Marines and now to be able to bring them into our organization and train them on a mission set that not many people truly understand or know is special for me and this organization,” said the commander of the 1st Space Brigade, Army Col. Donald Brooks. “As we execute operations for an exercise or a real-world deployment, having those Marines in the Army together in that connective tissue working hand-in-hand is critical as we fight this future joint fight.”
• While the long-term objective is to establish autonomous ‘Marine Space Support Teams’, there are no plans yet to launch space grunts into orbit. The goal at this point is to get qualified and trained Space Marines on the staff of Marine Expeditionary Forces (MEFs). The Corps wants three MEFs trained and operational by the spring of 2021, said space operations officer Lt. Col. Joseph “Hookah” Horvath. “Right now this is a capability that doesn’t exist in the Marine Corps,” said space operations planner Marine Capt. Jacob Loya. “With the renewed emphasis on space…the Marine Corps needs to have skin in the game.”
The U.S. Army will be training the first batch of Space Marines.
About nine months after Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger ordered the activation of the new Marine Corps Forces Space Command, “select Marines” from the nascent unit will start training at the Army’s Space and Missile Defense School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, according to an Army news release, which said they’ll learn “situational awareness of space capabilities, space assets, space products, and the impact of space on operations.”
In other words, they’ll learn a lot about space. But in plain English, they’ll likely be getting trained on satellite communications and how to ward off enemy missiles under the instruction of experts at the Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command. Then after they complete training, the Marines will embed with Army space support
teams, which enhance “intelligence and operation planning capabilities” for units in the field. Comprised of four enlisted soldiers and two officers, ARSSTs bring a knowledge base of space-based military capabilities like satellite intelligence and communications. They can even jam enemy communications and take part in “navigation warfare,” according to an Army guide
from 2017.
“The Marines will fall in on [Space and Missile Defense Command]’s training,” said Maj. Steven Richards, an ARSST officer-in-charge with 2nd Space Company, 1st Space Battalion, 1st Space Brigade. “We will get them schooled up on certification tables to be fully prepared to bring their space expertise back to whomever is requesting it.”
After that, the Marines will then build out their first Marine Space Support Teams. And that, my friends, is how Space Marines are born. (No offense to retired Marine colonel and first American to orbit the Earth John Glenn).

• Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has repeatedly referred to China as the top military challenge. China’s threats to U.S. satellites and Russian advances in ‘counterspace’ technologies were among the justifications American officials cited for establishing the U.S. Space Force and the regional Space Command during the Trump administration. According to Rear Admiral Michael Studeman, the top intelligence official for the Pentagon’s Indo-Pacific command, China is making sizable, long-term investments in weapons designed to jam or destroy satellites as the nation seeks to rapidly narrow the gap in space technology with the U.S.
• In April, the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence said that the Chinese military “will continue to integrate…satellite reconnaissance and positioning, navigation, and timing, and satellite communications into its weapons and command-and-control systems to erode the U.S. military’s information advantage.”
• “[China and Russia] look at our space capability and want to equal and exceed those and be able to dominate to guarantee themselves the maneuvering they need to be able to secure their objectives if they’re in a fight,” said Admiral Studeman. “China is pushing to develop antisatellite weapons with capabilities from “dazzling to jamming, to kinetic kill-from-the-ground, from space — all that, they’re on the march.”
• As Beijing continues to train its military space elements to “field new destructive and nondestructive ground- and space-based antisatellite (ASAT) weapons,” according to a DNI ‘Threat Assessment’ report, developing counterspace operations will be integral to a potential U.S. military campaign. China has “already fielded ground-based ASAT missiles intended to destroy satellites in low-earth orbit and ground-based ASAT lasers probably intended to blind or damage sensitive space-based optical sensors” on low-earth orbit satellites, according to the report.
• In a draft report on the fiscal 2022 defense bill, the House Appropriations Committee signaled its concern over “the growing threats posed by ground-based lasers capable of damaging or destroying sensitive space sensors in low-orbit, and the lack of a coordinated strategy to understand this threat and develop concepts to mitigate its risks.” The report directed the Pentagon, “to provide a plan to collect, consolidate, and characterize laser threat activity data of potential adversaries, and to develop strategies to mitigate these threats.”
• China is pursuing parallel programs for space, military and commercial communications satellites, with a ‘small number’ of dedicated military communications satellites. On the other hand, the U.S. has a substantial amount of activity going on as “we recognize the threat,” says Studeman. “It will be a game of measures and countermeasures and counter-countermeasures for some time to come.”
• The U.S. Space Force is building 48 ground-based ‘counterspace’ weapon systems known as the ‘Meadowlands system’ that are designed to temporarily jam but not destroy Chinese and Russian satellites. The first of these is expected to become operational in March 2020.
China is making sizable, long-term investments in weapons designed to jam or
destroy satellites as the nation seeks to rapidly narrow the gap in space technology with the U.S., according to the top intelligence official for the Pentagon’s Indo-Pacific command.
China is pushing to develop antisatellite weapons with capabilities from “dazzling to jamming, to kinetic kill-from-the-ground, from space — all that, they’re on the march,” Rear Admiral Michael Studeman said this week during an intelligence-security trade group’s webinar.
Studeman’s comments mark the most current unclassified assessment of the
counter-space capabilities of a nation that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin repeatedly refers to as the top challenge for U.S. defense planning and spending.
China’s threats to U.S. satellites as well as Russian advances in counterspace technologies were among the primary justifications American officials cited for establishing the U.S. Space Force, the sixth U.S. military service branch and the regional Space Command, during the Trump administration.
“They take a look at our space capability and want to equal and exceed those and be able to dominate to guarantee themselves the maneuvering they need to be able to secure their objectives if they’re in a fight,” Studeman said.
The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in April that the Chinese
military “will continue to integrate space services — such as satellite reconnaissance and positioning, navigation, and timing and satellite communications — into its weapons and command-and-control systems to erode the U.S. military’s information advantage.”
Developing so-called counterspace operations will be integral to a potential military campaign, the DNI said. Beijing continues to train its military space elements and “field new destructive and nondestructive ground- and space-based antisatellite (ASAT) weapons,” the intelligence office said in its annual Threat Assessment report.
It has “already fielded ground-based ASAT missiles intended to destroy satellites in low-earth orbit and ground-based ASAT lasers probably intended to blind or damage sensitive space-based optical sensors” on low-earth orbit satellites, according to the report.

According to Elena Danaan, a former professional French archeologist, the latest real-time intelligence data received from the Galactic Federation of Worlds is that Mars’ largest moon, Phobos, has just been liberated from a hostile extraterrestrial group she identifies as small Gray aliens from Zeta Reticuli. Her startling information is supported by scientific data and historical evidence indicating that an aggressive extraterrestrial species was indeed based somewhere in the interior of Phobos and was opposed to humans gaining any detailed knowledge of what was happening there.
On Saturday, July 24, I received Elena’s latest update from her primary contact with the Galactic Federation, Thor Han Eredyan, who regularly communicates with her via a physical implant she received at the age of nine. This is what she sent me via email:
Contact today. It seems to be a repeating pattern that Thor Han contacts me in the early morning, as he is usually back to the Station after completing a mission. His energy was soft and peaceful today, as he gave me the news. Phobos, one of Mars’ satellites, had been liberated by the forces of the Galactic Federation. It was a very big operation, highly sensitive due to the presence, inside of this hollowed out orbital facility, of a large number of human prisoners.
The idea that Phobos is a hollowed out orbital facility is supported by scientific data. Speculation about Phobos being hollow initially emerged in the 1950s and 1960s due to its unusual orbit. The European Space Agency launched its Mars Express mission in 2003 and eventually released a report on what was discovered about Phobos. The report was published in Geophysical Research Letters in May 2010 and stated:
We report independent results from two subgroups of the Mars Express Radio Science (MaRS) team who independently analyzed Mars Express (MEX) radio tracking data for the purpose of determining consistently the gravitational attraction of the moon Phobos on the MEX spacecraft, and hence the mass of Phobos… We conclude that the interior of Phobos likely contains large voids. When applied to various hypotheses bearing on the origin of Phobos, these results are inconsistent with the proposition that Phobos is a captured asteroid.
As the European Space Agency report clearly confirms, Phobos has large caverns, substantiating key elements of the hollow moon hypothesis. Furthermore, the report adds that Phobos is not a captured moon, thereby supporting the claim that Phobos was artificially placed in Mars’ orbit and is used as a base by one or more extraterrestrial groups.
Elena’s July 24 communication continues as follows:
Phobos, truly named by the Galactic Federation “Tyr 2”, has been a possession of the Xrog-Shambtbahali from Zeta Reticuli, small greys working for the Nebu [extraterrestrials from the Orion Constellation]. This place was a central facility for treating human abductees brought from Earth, chipping them with trackers and preparing them for the different programs they would be used in. The reason why these operations were a delicate matter was the presence of all these unfortunate people, which needed to be freed before any military operation could be conducted. This is the difficult part in all of this. There are hostages and slaves in mostly all the enemy outposts, and these lives are to be spared. So it raises the complexity of any action to a high level.
What evidence is there that Phobos has been used as a slave outpost of captured humans by an aggressive group of extraterrestrials? There is significant insider and circumstantial evidence that does corroborate Elena’s claim here.
In July 1988, the Phobos 1 and 2 missions were launched by the Soviet Union. The performance of the Phobos 2 spacecraft was flawless as it entered Mars orbit, took 38 photos, and then proceeded on towards Phobos. As Phobos 2 approached the moon Phobos in March 1989, a 20 kilometers-long ellipse-shaped object was photographed heading towards Phobos 2, and all communications were then lost.
Soviet scientists said that Phobos 2 was next spinning out of control, as though it had been impacted by an object. The scientific data about Phobos 2 and its sudden demise led to much speculation that there was something happening inside the moon Phobos, which its occupants did not want humanity learning about. If Phobos was an extraterrestrial base with captured humans being treated as slaves, as Elena claims, then this would be a good reason for why the Phobos 2 spacecraft was targeted and incapacitated.
Furthermore, the idea that there exists a slave trade involving captured humans is something I have discussed previously in relation to the Siemens company secretly building several billion RFID tracking chips in the 1980s and subsequently destroying all evidence of their construction. In a September 8, 2015 article, I cited compelling insider testimony and gave reasons for why it can be concluded that a galactic slave trade is in existence.
Elena’s report continued:
The next target of the Federation’s forces is “Tyr 1”, alias Mars’ other main satellite Deimos, which is held by the Maytra [a taller type of Gray extraterrestrial]. It is a slave sorting place where freshly abducted humans are brought to be dispatched to diverse destinations. Similar facilities existed on the hidden side of Earth’s moon, before it was recently liberated and given back to the Terrans.
Elena’s claim here about the Moon being recently liberated is supported by the influx of private companies and nations that are planning to send missions to the Moon with the intent of building bases there beginning in 2024. The colonization of Mars using commercial space companies is planned to begin shortly afterward by companies such as SpaceX.
Furthermore, the Artemis Accords have created a multinational space coalition, with the US at its core, that makes space colonization and commercial activities on the Moon, Mars, and in space possible. All these groundbreaking space developments suggest that there has been a dramatic change of management when it comes to the Moon and celestial bodies elsewhere in our solar system, as I have discussed in an earlier article.
So far, the evidence supporting Elena Danaan’s startling information is primarily circumstantial, but it is nevertheless consistent with what a number of insiders have been revealing over the last few years. Ever since I began working with Elena in investigating the death of one of her sources, the supersoldier, Steven Chua, and unfolding events in Antarctica, I have been impressed with the accuracy of her intel and how it matches with recent real-time data concerning Antarctica and outer space.
There appears to have been a significant shift in exopolitical affairs that has allowed human space exploration in the public arena to move forward, after having been stifled ever since the 1970s Apollo Moon landings. While secret space programs established bases on the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere in our solar system, all this was kept out of the public arena, thereby preventing the emergence of large-scale public space programs.
The proliferation of private companies and national space agencies venturing boldly into space is not accidental in my view. These private and public programs clearly point to recent exopolitical events that have changed the situation for humanity in a significant way with regard to our solar system.
Elena Danaan is among the very few credible extraterrestrial contactees with accurate intelligence on real-time space events involving the Galactic Federation of Worlds. The full truth about extraterrestrial affairs in space will certainly not be revealed by official channels through their limited hangouts and embedded operatives in the full disclosure community. Nor will it emerge through Freedom of Information Act requests, regardless of the sincerity, competency, and determination of those making such requests. It is through sincere individuals like Elena Danaan with an understanding of the scientific evidentiary process—gained through her 20-year career as a professional archeologist—that we can hope to learn the full truth, without any compromised agenda.
Her latest intel update from Thor Han suggests that the Galactic Federation is genuinely acting against hostile extraterrestrial civilizations on Mars, the Moon, the Earth, and elsewhere in our solar system. The clearing out of both of Mars’ moons of hostile extraterrestrial civilizations that have previously impacted scientific missions there, is a crucial development.
Elena’s intel suggests that the solar system is indeed in the process of being handed over to humanity and that a set of meetings on Jupiter did recently occur making this official. In the meantime, human groups such as the Deep State, the Dark Fleet, and an interplanetary corporate space program, which previously worked with the negative extraterrestrial groups, are losing power to an Earth Alliance of White Hats, the US Navy’s Solar Warden space program, Dark Fleet defectors, etc., that are working with the Galactic Federation.

• According to the article’s writer, the Harvard astronomy professor Avi Loeb, biological creatures are not functionally able to achieve interstellar travel. Even at the speed of light, travel between stars would take tens of thousands of years. Therefore, we would be more likely to find traces of alien technological debris accumulated in interstellar space over the past billions of years than we would finding aliens themselves.
• Most stars formed billions of years before ours did. Ancient civilizations could very likely predate Earth humans, and already dominate the Milky Way galaxy. The spread of alien technology that can persevere over long times and distances would multiply and spread at the highest speed with self-repair mechanisms that mitigate damage along their journey. Such technology artifacts could have already reached the habitable zones around all stars within the Milky Way, including our Sun. This is how we can expect to initially encounter evidence of intelligent extraterrestrials.
• Our own artificial intelligence technology is likely to supersede human intelligence within the coming decade. Our own autonomous AI systems connected to 3-D printers may replicate themselves and adapt to changing circumstances along their interstellar travels through machine learning. They could hibernate during long journeys and switch on as they approach stars where light radiation can recharge their energy supply. It is conceivable that the flat interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua’, was meant to collect sunlight and recharge its batteries. This technological artifact may have also served as a receiver for communication signals from probes already deposited on habitable planets like Earth or Mars.
• If any of the UAP/UFOs discussed in the Pentagon report to Congress is extraterrestrial in origin, then scientists have an obligation to decipher their purpose by collecting more data on their behavior. Owing to the long time-delay of any signals from their point of origin, these objects are likely autonomous.
• How can we tell whether an autonomous extraterrestrial AI system is a friend or a foe? To avoid a Trojan Horse scenario, we should first study the behavior of the alien probe to figure out what type of data they are accumulating. Second, we should examine how it responds to our actions. And with no choice left, we should engage its attention in a way that would promote our interests. Most importantly, humanity should avoid sending mixed messages to these probes, to avoid our own confusion in interpreting its response.
• Any decision on how to act with extraterrestrial AI technology must be coordinated by an international organization such as the United Nations and policed consistently by all governments on Earth. It would be prudent to appoint a forum composed of our most accomplished experts in the areas of computing (to interpret the meaning of any signal we intercept), physics (to understand the physical characteristics of the systems with which we interact) and strategy (to coordinate the best policy for accomplishing our goals).
• Ultimately, we might need to employ our own AI in order to properly interpret the alien AI. The experience will be as humbling as relying on our kids to make sense of new content on the internet by admitting that their computer skills exceed ours.
• So far, our fate on this planet has been under our control. This may not hold true after our encounter with extraterrestrial AI systems. Hence, there is a sense of urgency for our technological maturity in the global competition of galactic civilizations. Only by becoming sufficiently advanced can we overcome threats from alien AI technology. Our AI systems must outsmart the alien AI systems. Just as in the gunfights of the Wild West, the survivor might be the one who is first to draw a weapon without hesitation.
Despite the naïve storylines about interstellar travel in science fiction, biological
creatures were not selected by Darwinian evolution to survive travel between stars. Such a trip would necessarily span many generations, since even at the speed of light, it would take tens of thousands of years to travel between stars in our galaxy’s disk and 10 times longer across its halo. If we ever encounter traces of aliens, therefore, it will likely be in the form of technology, not biology. Technological debris could have accumulated in interstellar space over the past billions of years, just as plastic bottles have accumulated on the surface of the ocean. The chance of detecting alien technological relics can be simply calculated from their number per unit volume near us rather than from the Drake equation, which applies strictly to communication signals from living civilizations.
On a recent podcast about my book Extraterrestrial, I was asked whether
extraterrestrial intelligence should be expected to follow the rational underpinning of morality, as neatly formulated by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. This would be of concern to us during an encounter. Based on human history, I expressed doubt that morality would garner a global commitment from all intelligent beings in the Milky Way.
Instead, a code of conduct that allows systems of alien technology to dominate the galaxy would also make them more likely to be the way we would first encounter extraterrestrials. Practically, this rule will act as a sort of Darwinian evolution by natural selection, favoring systems that can persevere over long times and distances; and multiply quickly and spread at the highest speed with self-repair mechanisms that mitigate damage along their journey. Such systems could have reached the habitable zones around all stars within the Milky Way, including our sun, by now. Most stars formed billions of years before ours did, and technological equipment sent from habitable planets near them could have predated us by enough time to dominate the galaxy before we came to exist as a technological species.

One week to go before my next webinar on August 1. I’m currently working on my powerpoint presentation and came across some startling information about the first person to conduct a full scale investigation of a possible false flag alien event. He was a French Canadian investigative journalist, Serge Monast, and he discovered a ton of scientific and military data showing how such a false flag event could be pulled off.
Even though he wrote a book on the topic in 1994, it was not translated into English, and has largely been forgotten. Even worse, he and a fellow investigative journalist both died mysteriously of heart attacks only weeks apart in 1996. Ironically, Monast had written about heart attack inducing technologies possessed by the CIA. He was only 41 when he died, with no history of heart problems!
Monast’s work is very important since it shows that the revelation of plans for an alien false flag event predated the famous 2001 Disclosure Project Press Conference testimony by Carol Rosin about Dr. Werner Von Braun’s warning of a future false flag alien invasion. Her testimony was given great prominence by Dr. Steven Greer, and most recently was featured in the July 2021 documentary, The Cosmic Hoax. Why did Dr. Greer ignore all discussion of a possible alien salvation event, and focus exclusively on an alien invasion scenario in his latest documentary? The answer will shock you.

• Calvin Parker of Moss Point (pictured above), Mississippi was with his older friend, Charles Hickson, fishing from a bank of the Pascagoula River on the night of Oct. 11, 1973, when they were abducted by aliens. The two said they were levitated by the aliens into a football-shaped craft, examined and then released. They reported the incident to the Sheriff’s Office and they both passed sobriety tests as well as polygraph tests. And they both maintained their story their entire lives.
• Parker describes the UAP Task Force UFO report released by the Pentagon and the Director of National Intelligence on June 25th as ‘too little, too late’. The preliminary report relates a number of credible sightings of UFOs travelling at considerable speed and demonstrating advanced flight characteristics, without discernible means of propulsion. But the government offers no answers. It even leaves open the possibility of extraterrestrial technology or origins by the use of a catch-all category of “other”.
• “I don’t believe they’re being straight up,” said Parker. “The Department of Defense could come a little cleaner about what they’ve got. I just really believe there’s more out there than what they’re saying.” “They’re just trying to satisfy everybody by telling them just a little bit….They [don’t] want to cause a panic.”
• Parker, who’s 67 and battling health issues, said he hopes more information is released that will shed light on what he and Hickson said happened them, but he’s not sure if it will. “I wish they’d tell us so I can go to my grave knowing what they know,” Parker said. “I’d just like to have some kind of answer before I die and that’s not a long ways away. But I don’t think we’re going to get it from Congress or the Department of Defense.”
• Rosey Nail of Moss Point was hundreds of miles away from Pascagoula the night Hickson and Parker were abducted, but said she also witnessed something that was not from this world that night. In the town of Bruce, Mississippi, Nail saw a light moving across the sky. It separated into two lights. One orb moved closer to her and became as large as the sun and began changing colors. It then rejoined the other object and shot out of sight. “It was other-worldly,” said Nail. “It was purposeful …It maneuvered. It went up and down and it went sideways and it shot up in the sky.”
• And regarding the government’s UFO report, Nail ruled out the military of any country. “I think with technology advances, they would know if it was from other countries. Whatever the truth is, I think we should know about it.”
• Maria Blair and her late husband Jerry Blair of Theodore, Alabama, were on the opposite side of the Pascagoula River from Hickson and Parker on the night of October 11, 1973. The two said they watched a blue light move across the sky and hover before it landed about 150-200 yards away. Jerry was waiting for a boat to pick him up to take him to his job offshore and paid little attention to the light. When the boat arrived, Maria said she heard a splash in the water as she walked down the pier. She looked down and saw what looked like a person in a wetsuit in the water. After she heard Parker’s description of the aliens he said he was abducted by, it matched what she saw.
• After watching television newscasts on the UFO report, Maria Blair realized that the government wasn’t going to offer alien lifeforms as a possible explanation. She believes government officials are withholding information. “Ever since that night in 1973, the world knows we’re not alone,” Maria said. “The government knows we’re not alone. These humanoids are not from other countries. They’re so more advanced than us. I’ve never gotten over what I saw that night. These humanoids are not from this Earth.”
An anticipated preliminary report from the federal government was recently released
on UFOs encountered by military personnel dating back to 2004, and its contents, or lack thereof, has some Mississippians upset.
While the report doesn’t deny some may be extraterrestrial lifeforms traveling to Earth, it doesn’t offer that as a possible explanation, either.
“I don’t believe they’re being straight up,” Calvin Parker of Moss Point said. “The Department of Defense could come a little cleaner about what they’ve got. I just really believe there’s more out there than what they’re saying.”
Parker was a part of one of history’s most famous UFO cases. He, along with now-deceased Charles Hickson, claimed they were abducted by aliens the night of Oct. 11, 1973, while fishing from a bank of the Pascagoula River. The two said they were
levitated by aliens into a football-shaped craft, examined and then released.
The two contacted the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and reported the incident. According to Parker, the two passed sobriety tests as well as polygraph tests. Parker said he also passed a voice stress test.
Parker remained largely quiet about the event until he wrote a book in 2018 giving his account of what happened and later a second book.
US GOVERNMENT UFO REPORT
The report was released to the public on June 25 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and refers to UFOs as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. In Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force gives an overview of 144 observations by U.S. government sources.
One object was determined to be a partially deflated balloon and 80 of the
observations involved multiple sensors. In a handful of cases, advanced technology appeared to have been demonstrated.
“In 18 incidents, described in 21 reports, observers reported unusual UAP movement patterns or flight characteristics,” the report stated. “Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings.”
The report indicated the observations could likely be explained by five possible things: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, U.S. government or industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems, and a catchall “other” bin — but no mention of extraterrestrial crafts.
Parker said the investigations and report are too little, too late.

• On July 13th at the German Space Situational Awareness Centre in Uedem, the German Ministry of Defense announced the creation of a new space command, becoming the latest of a handful of nations prioritizing more resources and missions among the stars.
• Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer provided a keynote speech for the event. The military is “responding to the increasing significance of space for our state’s ability to function, the prosperity of our population, and the increasing dependency of the armed forces on space-supported data, services and products,” Kramp-Karrenbauer said.
• Since 2009, the German Air Force (or Luftwaffe), has used the Space Situational Awareness Centre to monitor space assets, order maneuvering of systems and recommend evasion routes to commercial satellite operators. The Air and Space Operations Center was inaugurated there in the fall of 2020 in response to NATO’s declaration of space as a new operational domain.
• NATO has named space as one of its top seven priorities for ‘emerging and disruptive technologies’. In March, NATO member nations’ defense ministers endorsed a new strategy of increased cooperation with technology innovation hubs and nontraditional industry.
• Germany is not the only country to create a separate military space entity. The U.S. officially reestablished its Space Command in August 2019, and the U.S. Space Force was established in December 2019. The original Space Command was established in 1985, becoming part of the U.S. Strategic Command in 2002 as part of the military reorganization following the Sept. 11 attacks.
• With the creation of its new space command, Commandement de l’espace, in 2019, France renamed its Air Force to become the Air and Space Force in the fall of 2020.
• The United Kingdom also established a separate Space Command in spring 2021 as a joint command staffed with personnel from the British Army, the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force and the civil service.
STUTTGART, Germany — The German military has announced the creation of a
separate command dedicated to space, becoming the latest of a handful of nations prioritizing more resources and missions among the stars.
The Ministry of Defence introduced the new space command in a July 13 ceremony at the German Space Situational Awareness Centre in Uedem, located in the country’s North Rhine-Westphalia region.
Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer provided a keynote speech for the
event.
The military is “responding to the increasing significance of space for our state’s ability to function, the prosperity of our population, and the increasing dependency of the armed forces on space-supported data, services and products,” the ministry said in a statement.
Since 2009, the German Air Force, or Luftwaffe, has used the center to monitor space assets, order maneuvering of systems and recommend evasion routes to commercial satellite operators, according to the German Aerospace Center. In fall 2020, the Air and Space Operations Center, or ASOC, was inaugurated there in response to NATO’s declaration of space as a new operational domain at the alliance’s 2019 meeting in London, England.

• On Tuesday July 20th, Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, along with three other passengers strapped into their New Shepard crew capsule (pictured above) atop a rocket at Bezos’ Blue Origin’s launch site in rural West Texas to blast off on an 11-minute, supersonic joy ride. The capsule traveled 65 miles above the desert landscape, topping out at an altitude of 351,210 feet. At the peak of the flight path, the passengers were weightless for about three minutes and were allowed to unstrap themselves from their seat to float around and soak in panoramic views of the Earth and the cosmos. This flight marked the first-ever crewed mission for Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital space tourism vehicle, upon which the company plans to take wealthy thrill seekers on high-flying journeys in the future.
• Riding alongside the multi-billionaire were Bezos’ brother, Mark Bezos; Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pilot and one of the “Mercury 13” women who trained to go to space in the 20th century but never got to fly; and an 18-year old recent high school graduate named Oliver Daemen who was Blue Origin’s first paying customer and whose father purchased his ticket. Funk and Daemen became the oldest and youngest people, respectively, ever to travel to space.
• Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000, six years after he started Amazon, with the goal of making spaceflight more affordable and more accessible. A few of his rivals in the industry — most notably Elon Musk and Richard Branson — both started their space ventures around the same time. While the suborbital New Shepard vehicle is the first fully operational piece of space hardware the company has developed, Bezos plans to build spinning orbital space stations where people can live and work. The company is also working on a much larger rocket, called New Glenn, and a lunar lander that it hopes will be used to support NASA missions.
• Thus far, the reservations for a trip to space have been offered solely to participants in an auction that Blue Origin concluded last month. The auction’s winner was a mystery bidder who agreed to pay $28 million for a ticket. He or she was expected to be on Tuesday’s spaceflight, but the high-priced traveler had to reschedule due to ‘scheduling conflicts’. Blue Origin is planning to conduct two more New Shepard tourist passenger flights this year.
• Bezos has not indicated what Blue Origin will charge space tourists or what the Dutch 18-year-old Daemen’s father paid for his ticket. The company said that the auction did give a strong indication that there are plenty of people anxious to go: 7,600 people from 159 countries registered to participate in the bidding war. These early suborbital space tourism flights will be prohibitively expensive to the vast majority of people, and that’s not expected to change anytime soon.
• “Blue Origin was founded by Jeff Bezos with the vision of enabling a future where millions of people are living and working in space to benefit Earth,” the company said in a press release. “To preserve Earth, Blue Origin believes that humanity will need to expand, explore, find new energy and material resources, and move industries that stress Earth into space. Blue Origin is working on this today by developing partially and fully reusable launch vehicles that are safe, low cost, and serve the needs of all civil, commercial, and defense customers.”
• An online petition garnered more than 162,000 signatures asking for Bezos never to return to Earth. Bezos, who is worth about $200 billion, has funded the company almost solely out of his own pocket. Repeated promises of benevolence and benefit to a ravaged Earth has critics concerned that the ultra-wealthy view outer space as their own personal escape hatch. “They are largely right,” Bezos told CNN’s Rachel Crane of critics who say billionaires should focus their energy — and money — on issues closer to home. “We have to do both. We have lots of problems here and now on Earth and we need to work on those, and we always need to look to the future. We’ve always done that as a species, as a civilization.” But regarding his sojourn to space on Tuesday, Bezos declared it “the best day ever”.
Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, went to space and back Tuesday morning on an
11-minute, supersonic joy ride aboard the rocket and capsule system developed by his space company, Blue Origin.
Riding alongside the multibillionaire were Bezos’ brother, Mark Bezos; Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pilot and one of the “Mercury 13” women who trained to go to space in the 20th century but never got to fly; and an 18-year old recent high school graduate named Oliver Daemen who was Blue Origin’s first paying customer and whose father, an investor, purchased his ticket.
Funk and Daemen became the oldest and youngest people, respectively, ever to
travel to space. And this flight marked the first-ever crewed mission for Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital space tourism rocket, which the company plans to use to take wealthy thrill seekers on high-flying joy rides in the months and years to come.
The four passengers on Tuesday strapped into their New Shepard crew capsule at Blue Origin’s launch site in rural West Texas just before the rocket lit its engines at 8:12 am CT, sending the vehicle blaring past the speed of sound and up to more than 65 miles above the desert landscape, topping out at an altitude of 351,210 feet. At the peak of the flight path, the 
passengers were weightless for about three minutes and were allowed to unstrap themselves from their seat to float around and soak in panoramic views of the Earth and the cosmos.
The launch was visible to reporters on the ground, with the rocket streaking across the almost cloudless Texas sky with a blooming contrail. The bright blaze of the rocket engine looked almost like a star or planet as it rose into the sky. Bezos and crew could be heard on Blue Origin’s livestream cheering as they moved about the capsule during the microgravity portion of the flight.
“It’s dark up here, oh my word!” Funk could be heard saying.
Bezos declared it “the best day ever” on his communications check upon landing.

• After east London actress Abbie Bela reported last month that she had found love with a “very tall and slender” spaceman (see previous ExoArticle here), David Abrams of the BuzzBingo.com gambling site conducted a poll to see how prevalent intergalactic sex really is. Nearly 300 British men and women responded in the affirmative. “We were astonished to see how many people claim to have had intimate relations with aliens,” Abrams said.
• Interestingly, three UK cities comprised about three quarters of the alien rendezvous in Britain. “There must be something about those spots which makes these experiences more common than in the rest of the UK,” offered Abrams. Norwich in northeast England topped the list with over 25%. Bristol in southwest England came in second place with 23%, and Liverpool in northwest England came in third with 22% of the 300 randy respondents.
• Abrams offered a theory as to the motive of these extraterrestrial dalliances: “Maybe (the extraterrestrials) really are out there and this is their way of communicating.”
Hundreds of people claim they have had sex with aliens, a new poll has revealed.
Growing numbers of people are reporting close encounters with little green men and women with nearly 300 in the UK claiming to have romped with an enamored extra-terrestrial.
Most of them are from Britain’s UFO hot-spot, Norwich, which recently topped a list of the nation’s paranormal places.
More than a quarter of those who said they have made love to aliens came from the Norfolk city.
Frisky folk in Bristol were hot on their heels in second place, making up 23% of those who reckon to have got saucy in a saucer.
And loved-up Liverpudlians came in third place, making up 22% of the 300 reports sent in.
David Abrams, of BuzzBingo.com who carried out the survey, said the findings were out of this world.
He said: “We were astonished to see how many people claim to have had intimate relations with aliens, particularly in the cities of Norwich and Bristol.
“There must be something about those spots which makes these experiences more common than in the rest of the UK.
“Maybe they really are out there and this is their way of communicating.”
Last month, the Daily Star Sunday revealed how fed-up Abbie Bela had found love with a spaceman after not having any luck with fellas online.
The actress, who lives in east London, said she was visited by five members of an alien species who had “very tall and slender” human builds.
After “connecting” with one, she was taken to their galaxy for a 20-minute date before being returned home.
Abbie said she was still looking forward to her second date.
She told us: “It is controversial for people who haven’t considered interspecies dating. I’m willing to give it a go – I’m going to be one of the first to normalise it.”

• According to a Space Force spokesperson, General Jay Raymond Chief of Space Operations for Space Force has stated that China and Russia have directed energy weapons capabilities that are designed to damage or destroy our satellites. Rep. Jim Langevin, (D-R.I.), asked Gen. Raymond whether the United States was adequately developing a directed energy portfolio “for space dominance”. “Yes sir, we are,” Raymond responded. “We have to be able to protect these capabilities that we rely so heavily on.”
• Space Force, and the Air Force before it, have always been secretive about what Anti-Satellite (ASAT) weapons the U.S. military has or is developing. The one with the most public details is the Counter Communications System, a transportable system that can jam enemy satellites. The U.S. also has missiles that can reach satellites in low Earth orbit.
• “[T]he context of the statements …certainly leave the door open to non-kinetic defensive space capabilities of some kind,” said Todd Harrison, director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project. “[O]n-board electronic countermeasures, such as ‘laser dazzlers’ and ‘radar jammers’, can be an effective way to defend satellites against certain types of kinetic attacks. And it has the advantage of protecting satellites without producing space debris.” Raymond’s comments didn’t rule out these types of weapons.
• The U.S. government has cited the development of ASAT weapons by China and Russia as a justification for the creation of Space Command and Space Force Since their establishment, military space leaders such as US Space Command’s Gen. James Dickinson have been quick to criticize foreign ASAT development and testing. Perhaps more concerning is a mysterious Russian satellite that has shown the ability to fire a projectile in space which Gen. Raymond refers to as an ‘on-orbit weapon system’.
• The Missile Defense Agency has explored using space-based lasers to intercept ballistic missiles, but Space Force has been mum on what weapon systems — conventional or directed energy — it is developing to protect its satellites or defeat enemy satellites. Raymond’s acknowledgement at the hearing might be the first time he’s publicly confirmed that directed energy systems are under development.
• “Russia has made space a war-fighting domain by testing space-based and ground-based weapons intended to target and destroy satellites. This fact is inconsistent with Moscow’s public claims that Russia seeks to prevent conflict in space,” said Dickinson. “Space is critical to all nations. It is a shared interest to create the conditions for a safe, stable and operationally sustainable space environment.”
• The U.S. has invested heavily in building passive defenses, but it is less forthcoming on its active defenses. Other nations are less secretive. France has stated that it could equip its satellites with weapon, possibly lasers, to defend themselves from adversaries.
• Earlier this year, the Center for Strategic and International Studies suggested that Space Force develop orbital laser weapons to defend American satellites. A CSIS report titled: “Defense Against the Dark Arts in Space” lays out the various types of ASAT weapons and describes several ways that Space Force could defend against them, including passive defenses like building a redundant space architecture that could survive the loss of one or even multiple satellites; and active defenses such as satellite-mounted lasers that could blind incoming threats.
“Yes sir, we are,” Raymond responded, suggesting that they discuss the issue in more
detail in a classified setting. “We have to be able to protect these capabilities that we rely so heavily on.” Noting that directed-energy systems could be a possible defensive tool for American satellites, Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., asked Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond whether the United States was adequately developing a directed energy portfolio “to be an effective capability for space dominance.”
In a statement to C4ISRNET, a Space Force spokesperson said, “General Raymond
has stated many times that China and Russia have directed energy capabilities that are designed to damage or destroy our satellites. His response to Congressman James Langevin’s question was confirming that our architecture developments in the face of these threats are appropriate.” However, the Space Force — and the Air Force before it — have always been secretive about what ASAT weapons the U.S. military has or is developing. The one with the most public details is the Counter Communications System, a transportable system that can jam enemy satellites. And while the Air Force is developing laser weapons, it’s
not clear what plans — if any — there are to attach them to space systems or direct them at enemy satellites. The U.S. also has missiles that can reach satellites in low Earth orbit.
“Russia has made space a war-fighting domain by testing space-based and ground-based weapons intended to target and destroy satellites. This fact is inconsistent with Moscow’s public claims that Russia seeks to prevent conflict in space,” said Dickinson after a Russian ASAT test in December. “Space is critical to all nations. It is a shared interest to create the conditions for a safe, stable and operationally sustainable space environment.” Reports from the intelligence community and observers have highlighted the development of kinetic weapons — such as those mentioned above — as well as non-kinetic weapons — such as ground-based jammers or laser systems that can effectively blind satellite sensors — by nations deemed American adversaries.

• In January 2010, E-4 Petty Officer John Baughman was serving as a Gunner’s Mate on the supercarrier, the USS Carl Vinson, assisting in humanitarian aid to Haiti after an earthquake had destroyed a large portion of the country. One day, Baughman was dangling his legs off the SAM Launcher Deck on the Forward Starboard side of the ship, taking a short break. “I’d often see all kinds of wild stuff swimming and floating under and on the surface,” he says. “Everything from sharks, dolphins and whales to giant squids, sea turtles, and swordfish.”
• On this day, something caught his attention in the calm and clear water, unlike anything he’d ever seen before. “I was staring into the water from above when a large, fat, white ’Tic Tac’ object, approximately twenty feet in length, suddenly appeared in my view below me, moving right and darted into the depths as fast as it appeared. I couldn’t really comprehend what I saw. It was definitely a solid object, but when it descended, its forward end rapidly collapsed in on itself and disappeared.” Baughman told his work center supervisor about what he’d seen, and was met by a simple shrug of the shoulders. “Everyone sees weird shit in the ocean,” the supervisor said.
• So what could it have been? Was it the now-famous “Tic Tac” object sighted by the USS Nimitz and Princeton off of San Diego in 2004? Were these oblong-shaped Tic Tac objects originating in the ocean? Baughman is cautious in his conclusions. “It could have been just about anything,” he says. “Rapidly moving flotsam with a keen ability to completely disappear, very large albino shark or an albino whale. Could even be an optical illusion, but it cast its own shadow and that’s how I was able to perceive it as a solid object.”
• From his supervisor’s response, reporting such an incident probably wasn’t in Baughman’s best interest. He avoided talking about it for many years. His thinking on the subject of coming forward began to change in 2017 when the 2004 Nimitz event became public. That event was a pivotal moment for many to finally step forward and speak out. “Alex Dietrich and Dave Fravor were initial motivating factors in my coming out with my sighting.”
• While many active military personnel are still afraid to report their sightings, not reporting could actually pose a greater threat. If these events aren’t being reported, then whatever these UFOs are may be more likely to be able to enter our restricted air and sea space without our knowledge, leaving us to play catch-up as we have for so many years. “It’s hard to come to grips with something like this,” says Baughman. “I still feel somewhat insecure about it because it doesn’t make sense.” Are they foreign adversaries playing mind games? Non-human entities? Or the myriad of other possibilities?
• Baughman hopes that the recent Pentagon UAP report will force the DoD to be more productive in working with civilians. He wants the open source intelligence communities to get to the bottom of these sightings. Baughman believes these UFOs and USOs (unidentified submerged vehicles) could pose a threat or be manipulated into subverting our signals intelligence capabilities by capitalizing on the stigma associated with them.
• As the stigma and ridicule often attached to reporting these UFO events continues to dissipate, new reports like Baughman’s are going to become more common. By coming forward now, he’s showing the way for others, and bringing us one step closer to finding answers.
• [Editor’s Note] As you will recall, Dave Fravor, the Navy pilot who chased the ‘Tic Tac’ UFO off of the California coast in November 2004, said that the UFO shot down to sea level and hovered over a large object just under the churning water line.
For almost four years now, we’ve been talking about the USS Nimitz and its
encounter with “Tic Tac” type objects. Now there’s a new wrinkle. It’s a sighting of what looked like the same type of object, seen from a Nimitz class supercarrier, only this unknown object was operating underwater.
The USS Carl Vinson is the United States Navy’s third Nimitz-class supercarrier. It was first commissioned in 1982, deployed in 1983, and it’s famous for being the ship 
from where the body of Osama bin Laden was buried at sea in 2011. Since 2009, the ship has been the flagship for Carrier Strike Group One.
E-4 Petty Officer John Baughman served in the U.S. Navy from 2008 to 2013. In January 2010, he was stationed aboard the Carl Vinson, assisting in humanitarian aid to Haiti after an earthquake had destroyed a large portion of the country. A Gunner’s Mate, his job description called for him to “mount, stow, and secure all weaponry, repair and calibrate defense systems, maintain guided
missile launching, rocket launchers, gun mounts and all other ordnance.” In other words, the job carries serious responsibility and is only given to serious people.
Working as an E2 Blue Shirt on the flight deck one day, he was dangling his legs off the SAM Launcher Deck on the Forward Starboard side of the ship, taking a short break. He’d often look for sea life when things were at ease. “I’d often see all kinds of wild stuff swimming and floating under and on the surface,” he says. “Everything from sharks,
dolphins and whales to giant squids, sea turtles, and swordfish.”
Baughman stressed that he had grown accustomed to identifying what was in the ocean and at what depths. “I had a pretty good reference point on how big or deep something was in the water, especially when you can see the water line on the side of the ship.” On this day, however, something caught his attention in the calm and clear water, unlike anything he’d ever seen before.
“I was staring into the water from above when a large, fat, white ’Tic Tac’ object, approximately
twenty feet in length, suddenly appeared in my view below me, moving right and darted into the depths as fast as it appeared. I couldn’t really comprehend what I saw. It was definitely a solid object, but when it descended, its forward end rapidly collapsed in on itself and disappeared.”
Baughman reacted to this moment with disbelief and excitement. Feeling that it was an important observation, he told his work center supervisor about what he’d seen. Instead of a serious debrief or an instruction to file a report, he was met by a simple shrug of the shoulders. The supervisor said simply that “everyone sees weird shit in the ocean.”
So what could it have been? With an eerily similar description of the now-famous “Tic Tac” object sighted off the Nimitz and Princeton carriers in 2004, could it have possibly been something similar? And if so, were these oblong-shaped objects originating in the ocean?

• Captain Kate McCue (pictured above) is the captain of the Celebrity Cruise Line’s Celebrity Edge. In June of 2020, Captain McCue posted a video on TikTok of a UFO cruising right over the ship. (see TikTok video here)
• At the beginning of this July, a cruiseline Facebook page posted a video of Captain McCue addressing a crowd of cruise guests recounting an incident when a UFO “sailed” or “floated” or was “cruising” above the cruise ship. “[S]omeone said: ‘what’s that?’ and we look up and …it looked like a black jellyfish, a gigantic back jellyfish, and it sailed right over the retreat, directly through the center-line of the ship, right through the center line of the ship, right through our “X” in our stack and just floated though.”
• “The thing is,” continues McCue, “we had no wind, maybe 5 knots at the time, but this thing was cruising along about 10-15 miles per hour, just cruised right over, and as its passed the stern of the ship, it went a couple hundred meters, maybe three or four hundred meters, and then it started to descend into the water. But because it was (getting dark) we couldn’t put a rescue boat down to see what it was, but it disappeared into the water, and we had no idea . . . it wasn’t a drill, there was no noise associated with it.” Under the caption “UFO’s Are Back,” the captain posted a similar video from a different angle on Instagram a year earlier. (see Instagram video here)
• Social media skeptics expressed their doubt that it was a UFO. Many seemed to conclude that it was a partially deflated balloon drifting over the cruise ship. “I do not see the Gigantic black jellyfish. Just what appears to me to be the usual out-of-focus blur, that is probably a deflating and descending balloon reflecting the sunlight. It surprises me that this individual does not understand that there are relatively strong airstreams higher up that would explain the non-spectacular motion of this object.” A Reddit user posted: “It would be more convincing if it did some high speed maneuvers that are more . . . unbaloonlike.”
As Celebrity Cruises and other U.S. based cruise lines begin to resume operations, the
captain of the Celebrity Edge created a stir earlier this week when a cruise related website posted a video on its Facebook page of what the captain described as an UFO cruising right over the ship.
Captain Kate McCue originally took short videos of the incident which she posted in June of 2020 (a year ago) on her TikTok page and July of last year on her Instagram page. The video from her TikTok page, with the theme song of the Twilight Zone playing in the background, is shown below.
The more recent Facebook posting shows a slightly different video (below). Captain McCue describes the incident in front of a crowd of cruise guests. She states that the UFO “sailed” or “floated” or was “cruising” above the cruise ship: “. . . and I have a
drone on board, so I thought it would be a good night to catch a sunset. I had a
drone in my hand, and someone said: ‘what’s that?’ and we look up and there was – I put it on TikTok – it looked like a black jellyfish, a gigantic back jellyfish, and it sailed right over the retreat, directly through the center-line of the ship, right through the center line of the ship, right through our “X” in our stack and just floated though. The thing is, we had no wind, maybe 5 knots at the time, but this thing was cruising along about 10-15 miles per hour, just cruised right over, and as its passed the stern of the ship, it went a couple hundred meters, maybe three or four hundred meters, and then it started to descend into the water. But because it was sunset we couldn’t put a rescue boat down to see what it was, but it disappeared into the water, and we had no idea . . . it wasn’t a drill, there was no noise associated with it. So if you want to see our UFO, it was on TikTok.” (crowd applauds)

Article by Chris Ndetei July 09, 2021 (yen.com.gh)
• Serge Monast was a Quebec journalist, poet, and essayist who died at age 51 in 1996. He was one of the most outspoken critics of UFO activity that began after WWII and was seeking an explanation that didn’t involve extraterrestrials. After years of meticulous research, in 1994, Monast published a report dubbed ‘Project Blue Beam’. The report related a four-stage NASA government operation to control people’s minds, contrive a New Age religion, and initiate a new world order. He died of a heart attack in December 1996, just a day after being arrested and imprisoned for disseminating ‘prohibited information’. His followers believe he was slain by government agents using psychotronic weaponry.
• According to Monast, the first stage of NASA’s Project Blue Beam was to develop earthquake-triggering technology, triggering quakes in strategic sites worldwide. These in turn would unearth religious artefacts that would refute standard religious beliefs. Stage One is believed to have been implemented in 2012 when the Earth experienced strong earthquakes that geologists could not explain. An earthquake in the Middle East purported to uncover the skeletal remains of Jesus.
• Monast believed that Stage Two would have NASA display three-dimensional optical holograms and laser projections in near space. Hologram images of Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, and Krishna would appear over four different parts of the world and merge into one entity – the Antichrist. This Antichrist would then begin to discredit the doctrines of the four largest world religions. In fact, there have been several sightings of holograms in the skies around the world. For example, an entire metropolis recently appeared in the clouds over China. Also, a video of a Jesus crucifix and a transparent humanoid emerged in the sky.
• Stage Three would involve the US government’s development of telepathic communication technology which would deceive people into thinking that their god was speaking to them. It is claimed that an entire US government department is striving to develop communication through brain signals. Telepathy has been successfully used to manipulate monkeys’ limbs.
• Stage Four would employ various technologies that could manipulate people’s minds, convincing them that an extraterrestrial invasion was already taking place on other planets and that the rapture was about to occur here on Earth. This event would disrupt peaceful cooperation, resulting in instability and mistrust. Moreover, these devices would allow the Antichrist to have complete control over the thoughts of the people.
• Monast’s Project Blue Beam publication caused quite a commotion. Recent achievements of holographic technology point to evidence that the Four Stages have begun to materialize. Or they may just be coincidences. The disappearance of Serge Monast’s children has also raised fears that the US government is concealing something. We can only wait and see if the events predicted in the document occur.
At the close of World War II, the increasing activity of unexplained flying objects
(UFOs) attracted the interest of several experts. The US Air Force, scientists, and media initiated investigations after combining information about the sightings.
Committees were formed to provide explanations, but they were useless. As a result, Serge Monast began to speak up and have his voice heard. In 1994, he published a compiling report dubbed Project Blue Beam.
Who was Serge Monast?
Serge Monast was a Quebec journalist, poet, essayist, and conspiracy theorist. He is best known to English-speaking readers for Project Blue Beam and the conspiracy theories that surround it. He was one of the most outspoken critics of UFO activity, and he published an approach known
as Project Blue Beam.
Serge Monast was born in 1945 and died from a heart attack in December 1996, just a day after being arrested and imprisoned. Because he exposed so much about NASA’s activities, his followers believe he was slain with psychotronic weaponry. What was in the document he published? What is the Blue Beam Project of NASA?
What is Project Blue Beam?
Serge Monast’s conspiracy theory, Project Blue Beam, was meticulously recorded after years of research. It was said to be a four-step government operation to control people’s minds and then introduce them to new world order and religion.
Step 1: All archaeological information questioned
The development of sophisticated top-secret weaponry to trigger earthquakes in specific, strategic sites worldwide, unearthing religious artefacts, and creating the false impression that beliefs had all been misinterpreted and misunderstood.
The first stage is believed to have already been implemented in 2012 when the Earth experienced strong earthquakes. However, perplexed scientists had no clear-cut explanations for how the earthquakes happened in the space of two days.
As a result of the earthquakes, there were purported discoveries of a tomb said to contain the skeletal remains of Jesus, giving rise to speculation.

• Kirtland Air Force Base serves as home to the Space and Missile Systems Center Innovation and Prototyping Directorate and the Space Rapid Capabilities Office. It is also home to the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate, the Deployable Structures Laboratory, the Skywave Technology Laboratory, and most recently the Space Warfighting Operations Research and Development, or SWORD, laboratory which tracks orbiting objects, advances satellite cybersecurity, and develops autonomous capabilities.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force opened a new satellite operations center July 7
at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico designed to advance the still nascent service’s space war-fighting capabilities.
The Rendezvous and Proximity (REPR) Satellite Operations Center was established by the Space and Missile Systems Center’s Innovation and Prototyping Directorate as a new workspace to drive on-orbit experimentation and demonstrations with prototype satellites and payloads.
“The REPR Satellite Operations Center allows us to carry out on-orbit experiments and prototyping efforts, develop innovative concepts of operation, and demonstrate game-changing technology for the United States Space Force and our mission partners,” said head of the directorate, Col. Timothy Sejba, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The $17 million facility will be part of the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation Support Complex located at Kirtland. The 5,930-square-foot space includes an operations floor, mission planning and collaboration areas, and conference rooms.
“The REPR Satellite Operations Center was constructed by applying innovative
architecture and pulling in the latest technology available, allowing operators the ability to command multiple missions concurrently, dramatically increasing the Space Force’s mission capabilities,” said Dan Crouch, senior materiel leader of the Innovation and Prototyping Directorate’s Prototype Operations Division.
