Space Force’s Task to Protect and Defend U.S. Interests Between Here and the Moon

Article by Lauren Fruen                                                  June 28 2021                                                                 (the-sun.com)

• On July 23rd, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) released a 23-page document entitled: “A Primer on Cislunar Space”, referring to the area between the Earth and the Moon. The director of AFRL’s Space Vehicles Directorate, Col. Eric Felt, states: “As commerce extends to the Moon and beyond, it is vital we understand and solve those unique challenges so that we can provide space domain awareness and security.” With the Moon more than 238,000 miles from Earth, countries are scrambling to fill the gap.

• The US Space Force is tasked with defending and protecting U.S. interests in space. When Space Force was established by President Trump in December 2019 as a ‘separate but equal’ branch of the US military, the limits of protected space was in near-Earth geostationary range at 22,236 miles. “With new US public and private sector operations extending into cislunar space, the reach of USSF’s sphere of interest will extend to 272,000 miles and beyond – more than a tenfold increase in range and 1,000-fold expansion in service volume,” reads the report.

• The report adds: “As USSF organizes, trains, and equips to provide the resources necessary to protect and defend vital US interests in and beyond Earth-orbit, new collaborations will be key to operating safely and securely on these distant frontiers.” The report is “targeted at military space professionals who will answer the call to develop plans, capabilities, expertise, and operational concepts.”

• When Space Force was launched, Donald Trump said at the time: “When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space.

• Earlier this month, Air Force Colonel Eric Felt got straight to the point: “Space war is going to look a lot like the Cold War in a couple of different ways. First of all, we hope nobody’s actually exchanging destructive weapons with each other, and that we don’t just hope, but we take active actions to deter that from happening. The nature of conflict in space is that there is an offensive advantage, or a ‘first-mover’ advantage, in that it is a lot easier to attack somebody else than to defend your own stuff. And we’ve seen that before—that’s the same as with…nuclear weapons.”

An Air Force Research Laboratory report details how the Earth’s only natural satellite – and the space around it – could become a new military frontier, SpaceNews reports.

The 23-page document, “A Primer on Cislunar Space”, was published by the Air Force Research Laboratory just two days before the US government admitted they could not explain 144 sightings of flying objects.

The report explains it “is targeted at military space professionals who will answer the call to develop plans, capabilities, expertise, and operational concepts.”

It adds: “When established in December 2019, USSF [United States Space Force] was tasked with defending and protecting U.S. interests in space.

“Until now, the limits of that mission have been in near Earth, out to approximately geostationary range (22,236 miles). ”

The report adds: “With new US public and private sector operations extending into cislunar space, the reach of USSF’s sphere of interest will extend to 272,000 miles and beyond – more than a tenfold increase in range and 1,000-fold expansion in service volume.”

Cislunar space is the space between Earth and the moon.

The report adds: “As USSF organizes, trains, and equips to provide the resources necessary to protect and defend vital US interests in and beyond Earth-orbit, new collaborations will be key to operating safely and securely on these distant frontiers.”

UK Defence Minister Dismisses UFOs as a Potential Threat, No Need to Investigate

Article by Press Association 2021                                           June 30, 2021                                                      (leighjournal.co.uk)

• The recent release of an Interim Pentagon UFO report concluded that the UFO phenomena ‘could be military aircraft with very fast capabilities or even extraterrestrial’. At the minimum, said the report, the UFOs “clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to US national security.” Of 144 UFO sightings by US military pilots since 2004, all but one remains unexplained, according to the report.

• Raising the US report in the British Parliament, former Conservative Party treasurer Lord Sarfraz said, “For decades people who have been concerned with UFOs have been dismissed as fantasists. But now the US Director of National Intelligence, who oversees 17 intelligence agencies, has published a report saying that data on UFOs is inconclusive.”

• So does the British Ministry of Defence take reports of UFOs in British airspace seriously? Defence Minister Baroness Goldie (pictured above) responded: “The MoD deals with actual threats substantiated by evidence.” “The Government continues to take any potential threat to the UK seriously.” However, “in over 50 years no such reporting had indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom”. Therefore, the British Government has no plans to conduct its own investigation into UFOs.

• Tory peer Viscount Ridley chimed in: “Unidentified does not mean suspicious… The idea that in an era of mobile phone cameras, drones and frequent travel there could possibly be alien spaceships whizzing about undetected in our atmosphere on a regular basis is not I think very plausible. It’s much more likely that these blurred images have boring explanations, alas.”

• Lady Goldie said: “The UK air defence community detects and monitors all flying air systems 24 hours a day to provide an identified air picture as part of the UK’s national security posture and our commitment to the integrity of NATO airspace.” Typhoon combat aircraft in Scotland and in Lincolnshire are “held at high readiness ready to intercept any threat to UK airspace”. Dismissing UFOs, Lady Goldie stated: “We deal with actual threats substantiated by evidence.”

• Labour frontbencher Lord Coaker pointed out that “the Pentagon has said that ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’ are actually a serious national security threat. When asked if she agreed with that assessment, Lady Goldie remarked: “We are of course aware of the US assessment… We regard threats as having to exist in the first place. We regard them as having to be substantiated by evidence and that’s because we need to know what we are addressing and how best we can address it. The MoD has no plans to conduct its own report into UAP because in over 50 years no such reporting had indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom.”

 

  Conservative Party treasurer Lord Sarfraz

Assurances were sought at Westminster following the publication of a Pentagon

           Eurofighter Typhoon jets

report which said the phenomena “may pose a challenge to US national security”.

However, the British Government has said it has no plans to conduct its own investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), better known to the public as UFOs, “because in over 50 years no such reporting had indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom”.

The interim Pentagon report said of 144 sightings by military pilots since 2004, all but one remain unexplained.

It also said while there were “no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation” for the objects, it also did not rule it out.

        Viscount Matt Ridley

Pointing out they “probably lack a single explanation”, it added: “UAP clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to US national security.”

Raising the US report in Parliament, former Conservative Party treasurer Lord Sarfraz said: “For decades people who have been concerned with UFOs have been dismissed as fantasists.

“But now the US director of national intelligence, who oversees 17 intelligence agencies, has published a report saying that data on UFOs is inconclusive.

         Lord Vernon Coaker

“The report offers several possible explanations.

“It does not rule out that these could be military aircraft with very fast capabilities or even extraterrestrial phenomena.

“Either way can the minister reassure members of the public that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) takes reports of unidentified objects in our airspace very seriously?”

Responding, defence minister Baroness Goldie said: “The MoD deals with actual threats

            UFOs not a threat to the UK

substantiated by evidence.

“The Government continues to take any potential threat to the UK seriously.”

Tory peer Viscount Ridley said: “Unidentified does not mean suspicious.

“Does the minister recognise the US report referred to says there is no clear indication that there is any non-terrestrial explanation for the 144 sightings?

“The idea that in an era of mobile phone cameras, drones and frequent travel there could possibly be alien spaceships whizzing about undetected in our atmosphere on a regular basis is not I think very plausible.

Red-Flashing UFOs Seen Swarming USS Omaha in Newly Leaked Video Footage

Article by Paul Sacca                                                       June 30, 2021                                                                 (brobible.com)

• Early last month, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell leaked a video taken in July 2019 on the littoral combat ship USS Omaha of a spherical UFO hovering and then submersing under water. (see 1:39 minute video below) Then later in June, Corbell leaked another video of a radar image on the USS Omaha of at least 14 UFO surrounding the ship at night in July 2019. (see 45 second video and more comprehensive 27:26 minute video below). Now, to continue the USS Omaha series, Corbell has released a night-time video of red-flashing UFOs buzzing the Navy ship off of the cost of Southern California in July 2019. (see 4:19 minute video below)

• The newly leaked footage was apparently taken by on-board ‘VIPER’ TEAM (Visual Intelligence Personnel) on July 15, 2019, from the deck of the USS Omaha between 9 pm and 11 pm PST, according to Corbell. The footage was reportedly taken while the ship was in a “restricted warning area off San Diego.”

• The UFOs with flashing red lights traveled at speeds of 46 mph to 158 mph. “The most impressive evidence we witnessed was their endurance,” a USS Omaha crewman said. “The event lasted over an hour with all contacts just disappearing. We were never able to discern where they departed to.” “In the end I’m 50/50 that it is man-made tech from somewhere,” the crewman said. “Either way it’s world changing. Because of the incredible energy capacity of the crafts.”

• “These UFOs were NOT inconspicuous,” writes Corbell. “[T]hey were brazen; boldly buzzing our warships. To many involved, it stands to reason that the UFOs (their operators) WANTED to be seen and recorded.” The red-flashing UFO sighting ended with one of the UFOs crashing into the water, but no wreckage was found despite at least one U.S. Navy submarine searching for the vanishing craft.

The newly surfaced footage was apparently taken by “on-board ‘VIPER’ TEAM (Visual Intelligence Personnel)” on July 15, 2019, from the deck of the USS Omaha between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. PST, according to Jeremy Corbell, the filmmaker behind the UFO documentary Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers. The footage was reportedly taken while the ship was in a “restricted warning area off San Diego.”

“The most impressive evidence we witnessed was their endurance,” a crewman of the USS Omaha allegedly said of the UAPs in the video. “The event lasted over an hour with all contacts just disappearing. We were never able to discern where they departed to.”

“In the end I’m 50/50 that it is man-made tech from somewhere,” a USS Omaha servicemember said. “Either way it’s world changing. Because of the incredible energy capacity of the crafts.”

Roswell Festival-Goers Don’t Buy the Government’s UFO Report

Article by Ben Wolfgang                                                July 2, 2021                                                  (washingtontimes.com)

• A record crowd of UFO enthusiasts came to Roswell, New Mexico over the Fourth of July weekend for the annual Roswell UFO Festival, where thousands converge on the small town to partake of the alien-themed concerts, games, outdoor movie showings, yoga, and a host of other events.

• This year’s festival had a special intrigue as the Pentagon and Office of the Director of National Intelligence just released an unclassified UAP Task Force report that investigated 144 military encounters with unidentified craft and could only explain one as a deflating balloon. The study claimed that while UFOs involve “breakthrough technologies” that could come from the Chinese, the Russians, or even extraterrestrials, they are almost certainly a national security threat to the U.S.

• For Roswell festival-goers and professional researchers alike, that explanation is absurd. What the people really want to know is how much information the government is withholding from the American people. The typical Roswell festival-goer can handle the truth. Carla Smith, 33, her best friend, Liz Keneski, 34, came from Austin, Texas. “People are open to it,” says Smith, “which is the first step to anything, learning more about it, being open to it,” Smith is even open to the idea that some extraterrestrials can travel via consciousness, not through the physical domain. Such theories are no longer laughed off. “Now it’s cool to believe in it.”

• Debra Tucker, 52, and her mother Joyce Rowell, 75, traveled to Roswell from Tecumseh, Oklahoma. Taking a break from an alien-themed coffeehouse scavenger hunt, Rowell asked: “Why don’t they (the government) tell us the truth?” Tucker said she is open-minded to all possibilities, including that at least some UFO sightings could be connected to extraterrestrial life. “I definitely think it could be true,” she said. “I haven’t ever seen one but I think it’s definitely possible. There’s so much out there we don’t know about.”

• A guest speaker at the International UFO Museum and Research Center, UFO expert Kathleen Marden took exception to the government’s assertion that UFOs could be Chinese or Russian technology. “These objects can hover at 80,000 feet for hours on end. We can’t do that. They can drop in a couple of seconds to 20,000 feet and hover there, and then they can descend to 50 feet above the churn of the ocean and bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball. We can’t do that. They have aerodynamic capabilities that, as far as we know, no one on this planet can replicate,” Marden told The Washington Times. “If people want to explain that away as Russia or China, then why haven’t they invaded? Why haven’t they decided to rule the world?”

 

ROSWELL, New Mexico — The federal government’s recent landmark UFO study failed to offer the clear answers many hoped for.

In fact, Joyce Rowell was left with the same question she’s always had.

“Why don’t they tell us the truth?” Ms. Rowell, 75, said Friday as she and her daughter, Debra Tucker, searched for the next clue on an alien-themed scavenger hunt inside a cozy coffeehouse in downtown Roswell.

Ms. Rowell and Ms. Tucker, 52, traveled here from Tecumseh, Oklahoma, for the city’s annual UFO Festival, which has drawn a record crowd this year amid skyrocketing public interest in the subject and the release last week of the government’s widely anticipated unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) report.

Inside Roswell’s Stellar Coffee Co. — which boasts the “Spock Special,” “Martian Sunrise” and “Alien Soda” among its menu offerings — Ms. Tucker said she remains open-minded to all possibilities, including that at least some UFO sightings could be connected to extraterrestrial life.

“I definitely think it could be true,” she said. “I haven’t ever seen one but I think it’s definitely possible. There’s so much out there we don’t know about.”

Ms. Tucker and Ms. Rowell are among the thousands who came to Roswell this weekend for the seemingly endless agenda of alien-themed concerts, games, outdoor movie showings, yoga, and a host of other events. But beneath the family-friendly atmosphere are serious questions about just how much information the government is withholding from the American people.

                         Kathleen Marden

The recent UAP report, released by the Pentagon and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, examined 144 military encounters with unidentified craft and could only explain one, which was believed to be a deflating balloon.

UFOs, the study said, could represent a major national security threat to the U.S. and may involve so-called “breakthrough technologies” that cannot be explained using today’s scientific knowledge.

While the document didn’t rule out extraterrestrials, it also raised the possibility that the craft could be high-tech Chinese or Russian vehicles or weapons. For Roswell festival-goers and professional researchers alike, that explanation is absurd.

“These objects can hover at 80,000 feet for hours on end. We can’t do that. They can drop in a couple of seconds to 20,000 feet and hover there, and then they can descend to 50 feet above the churn of the ocean and bounce back and forth like a ping pong ball. We can’t do that,” said author, researcher and social scientist Kathleen Marden, one of the UFO experts speaking this weekend at the city’s International UFO Museum and Research Center.

70 Years of UFO Cover-Ups Are Finally Coming to an End

Article by Gary Heseltine                                                    July 2, 2021                                                          (rt.com)

• For more than 70 years, highly trained, credible people have reported interactions with some kind of intelligence that is, literally, out of this world. Yet, the mass of corroborated testimony from military pilots, commercial pilots, astronauts, cosmonauts, radar operators, air traffic controllers, sonar operators, military personnel, and police officers from all around the world have been largely ignored by governments, military and scientists and the academic world. Why? Because governments across the planet, supported by the mainstream media, have poured scorn on and trivialized the subject of UFOs since the early 1950s. As the late Stanton Friedman used to say, “It can’t be, so it isn’t.”

• While the subject has opened up to the public in recent years, the manufactured stigma attached to the UFO topic makes it is still too ‘taboo’ for most. Scientists and academics still do not take the UFO phenomena seriously. It isn’t surprising, since for most of their lives they have been told that there is no evidence to support the premise that some of these reports are credible, cannot be explained, and may be of extraterrestrial/non-human origin.

• Almost all of these scientists, professors and the public in general do not realize that they have been hoodwinked by a huge propaganda machine that was deliberately created by the United States. In January 1953, a group of scientists met to figure out a way to ‘strip the aura’ from ‘flying saucers’. They decided the best way to do this was to dismiss, trivialize, scorn and debunk all UFO sightings through the use of the media in all its forms – television, film, newspapers, books, and magazines. They commissioned the ‘Robertson Panel’ to begin the process of stigma and ridicule that has plagued this topic for decades.

• Today, most astronomers won’t even consider looking at the mountain of UFO evidence, due to the perceived risk of ridicule and the effect on their careers. This has proven to be a powerful deterrent for those that dare to take the phenomena seriously. The message was clear to scientists and academics: stay away from UFO research or risk ruining your career.

• Yet over the past months, there have been significant developments on the UFO subject that seem to be signaling the end to this policy of deceit and denial. A government investigative task force just submitted a nine-page preliminary assessment report to Congress regarding US Navy encounters with UFOs off the east and west coasts of America in recent years. It cited 144 cases recorded by the US military since 2004 and stated that 143 remained unexplained. Given the huge technological resources the US has, it is a staggering statistic. We’ve also seen people at the highest levels of government and the military speak out about the phenomenon, in complete contrast to what leaders have said on the matter before.

• Said Senator Marco Rubio: “We have things flying around military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises, and we don’t know what it is and it isn’t ours. …I’d say frankly if it’s something outside this planet it would actually be better than the fact that we’ve seen some technology leap on behalf of the Russians, the Chinese, or some other adversary…” Rubio later added: “We cannot allow the stigma of UFOs to keep us from seriously investigating these encounters.”

• Former CIA Director John Brennan said to an audience at George Mason University: “I think it’s a bit presumptuous and arrogant for us to believe that there’s no other form of life anywhere in the entire universe… I think some of the phenomena we’re going to be seeing continues to be unexplained and might, in fact, be some type of phenomenon that is the result of something that we don’t yet understand, and that could involve some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life.”

• John Ratcliffe, a former director of national intelligence, recently said on Fox News: “There’s actually quite a few of those (UFOs). … [T]here are instances where we don’t have good explanations for some of the things that we have seen. When we talk about sightings, it’s not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection. Usually, we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things.”

• Former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, told CNN: “I don’t know why we haven’t been more transparent about (UFOs) in the past, and I’m part of that crime I guess… I didn’t insist on more transparency with respect to this issue.”

• Even former President Barack Obama has talked in specifics about UFOs. On the James Corden talk show Obama said: “But what is true… is that there’s footage and records of objects in the sky 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.”

• These comments from such high-level individuals indicates the very real possibility that we have been witnessing UFOs in action around our Earth for decades, and that for the first time it will be taken seriously and investigated properly by the world’s top scientists. And this in turn is likely to have profound implications for humanity. In the second part of my article, I will detail some of the most astonishing unexplained encounters.

 

The policy of denial and debunking evidence of encounters with ‘alien spacecraft’,

   the late great Stanton Friedman

that’s been in place since the 1950s, is crumbling. Even ex-US presidents and CIA directors admit there’s something out there we can’t explain.

It’s often said that when mankind acknowledges that ‘life’ in the universe has been confirmed and an intelligent civilization reaches out to us, that ‘contact’ will be the most profound moment in human history. So, almost everyone is in agreement as to the ramifications of such ‘contact’, but have we actually not had an ongoing engagement between humans and super-intelligent creatures from other planets for decades?

                       John Brennan

Today, on World UFO Day, as we approach the summer of 2021, the world is potentially on the brink of learning something that most people will be astonished and perhaps shocked by.

For more than 70 years, highly trained, credible people have found themselves involved in multiple witness reports and having an interaction with some kind of intelligence that is, literally, out of this world. These cases from all around the

                            Marco Rubio

world have been fully investigated and documented, yet have largely been ignored by governments, military and scientists and the academic world.

                        James Clapper

Why?

The explanation is simple and stark: governments across the planet, supported by the mainstream media, have poured scorn on and trivialised the subject of unidentified flying objects, or flying saucers, since the early 1950s.

As the late Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist and huge UFO proponent, used to

                       John Ratcliffe

say, “It can’t be, so it isn’t.”

                         Barack Obama

That phrase is particularly apt if we ask the question as to why the scientific and academic worlds have largely ignored the mass of corroborated testimony from military pilots, commercial pilots, astronauts, cosmonauts, radar operators, air traffic controllers, sonar operators, military personnel, and police officers etc.

In recent years, a new acronym has been created to replace the term ‘UFO’ – Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) – in the hope that science, academia, and the media would be more open to investigating the subject. However, such is the manufactured stigma attached to this topic that it is still deemed too ‘taboo’ for most.

Chinese Astronauts Conduct First Spacewalk at New Space Station

Article from Agence-France Presse                                             July 4, 2021                                                    (theguardian.com)

• In June, three Chinese astronauts blasted off to become the first crew of the new Tiangong space station in orbit around Earth, where they will remain for three months in China’s longest crewed mission to date. On July 4th, two of the astronauts conducted the first of two seven-hour spacewalks to work on assembling the Tiangong space station. Fueled in part by a U.S. ban on Chinese astronauts on the International Space Station, the construction of the Tiangong space station is a significant step in China’s ambitious space program.

• China previously landed a rover on Mars and sent probes to the Moon. This is China’s first crewed mission into space in nearly five years, and the first time since 2008 that Chinese astronauts have gone outside their spacecraft. China is the third country to complete a spacewalk after the Soviet Union and the US. This is a matter of huge prestige as the country marks the 100th anniversary of the ruling Communist party this month with a massive propaganda campaign.

• In this first spacewalk, astronauts Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo were tasked with elevating a panoramic camera outside the Tianhe core module and testing the station’s robotic arm which will be used to transfer future modules around the station. The astronauts also installed foot stops on the robotic arm and carried out other assembly work. The crew underwent more than 6,000 hours of training in preparation.

• In a video clip, Liu and Tang were shown opening a hatch and exiting the module separately, wearing newly developed suits. They were supported from inside the station by the mission commander, Nie Haisheng, a decorated air force pilot who is on his third space mission. The video clip showed Liu leaving the cabin, exclaiming: “Wow, it’s too beautiful out here.” The Chinese space agency is planning a total of eleven launches through to the end of next year, including three more crewed missions. They will deliver two more lab modules to expand the station, along with supplies.

• Chinese state television showed footage of the astronauts’ daily lives on Tiangong, including setting up an exercise bike and working out on a treadmill. One crew member was shown eating with chopsticks; another did a handstand and somersault after mealtime. The televised spacewalk garnered 200 million views on China’s social media platform Weibo. One user wrote: “How much I’m moved by each step of achievement is beyond words.”

• President Xi Jinping has said the construction of China’s first space station is opening “new horizons” in humanity’s attempts to explore the cosmos. The Tiangong space station is expected to have a lifespan of at least ten years, and China has said it would be open to international collaboration on the station. The U.S.-run International Space Station is due for retirement after 2024, although NASA says it could remain functional beyond 2028.

 

             Chinese astronauts or ‘taikonauts’

Chinese astronauts have performed the country’s first tandem spacewalk, working for seven hours on the outside of the new Tiangong station in orbit around Earth.

Tiangong’s construction is a significant step in China’s ambitious space programme. China has previously landed a rover on Mars and sent probes to the moon.

Last month, three astronauts blasted off to become the first crew of the station, where they will remain for three months in China’s longest crewed mission to date. On Sunday morning, two of them left the station for about seven hours of work in the first spacewalk at Tiangong, the China Manned Space Agency said.

“The safe return of astronauts Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo to the Tianhe core module marks the complete success of the first spacewalk in our country’s space station construction,” the agency said.

Their tasks included elevating a panoramic camera outside the Tianhe core module and testing the station’s robotic arm, which will be used to transfer future modules around the station, state media said. The astronauts installed foot stops on the robotic arm and, with its support, carried out other assembly work, the space agency added.

Liu and Tang were shown opening a hatch and exiting the module separately, wearing newly developed suits said to weigh 130kg (20st). They were supported from inside the station by the mission commander, Nie Haisheng, a decorated air force pilot who is on his third space mission.

This was the first of two spacewalks planned for the mission, both expected to last six or seven hours. It was the first time since 2008 that Chinese astronauts have gone outside their spacecraft. Back then, Zhai Zhigang made China the third country to complete a spacewalk after the Soviet Union and the US.

This is China’s first crewed mission in nearly five years, and a matter of huge prestige as the country marks the 100th anniversary of the ruling Communist party this month with a massive propaganda campaign. To prepare, the crew underwent more than 6,000 hours of training.

Rep. André Carson Calls for Public Hearing on UFOs

Article by Celine Castronuovo                                             July 4, 2021                                                                 (thehill.com)

• On July 4th, Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.) (pictured above), chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation, was on the CBS news show “Face the Nation”. The discussion turned to the newly released unclassified government report on UFOs which Carson admitted was largely “inconclusive” on the origins of more than 140 unidentified flying objects that the US military has observed since 2004. (see 5 minute video below)

• Carson called on Congress to hold hearings on reported UFOs. “My hope … is that we will have a series of hearings and possibly a public hearing in the very near future,” Carson said, though he did not give a specific timeline. “What we do know is that … there have been nearly 150 (UFO) sightings. Eighty of those sightings have been detected with some of the best technology the world has ever seen.”

• The UAP Task Force report noted that many UFO sightings have occurred near US military assets, our naval bases, our military installations. One of the possible explanations for the still unidentified UFOs could be advanced technologies developed by U.S. adversaries such as China or Russia. “We don’t want our adversaries to have … a technological advance over us in terms of what they can do with their capabilities,” Carson said, warranting concern and the need for further investigation. But Carson added that sightings around US military bases may result from a ‘collection bias’ due to “focused attention, greater numbers of latest-generation sensors operating in those areas, unit expectations, and guidance to report anomalies.”

• Finally, Carson admitted that government officials “can’t rule out something that’s otherworldly” in a small percentage of cases. It would be “arrogant to say that there isn’t life out there,” said the Congressman. “If it is otherworldly, we have to take into account our advancements in terms of our cellphone technology and why aren’t these images being captured? We have to think about the nearly 4,000 satellites that are orbiting the Earth right now. Most of those satellites have cameras attached to them. Why hasn’t any of that information been released?”

• [Editor’s Note]  Congressman André Carson claims not to know why there isn’t more information available on UFOs or if they even exist. Two possible explanations why Carson seems to be so out of touch with reality might be: 1) Carson knows full-well about the long-standing extraterrestrial presence around our world and our government’s ongoing interaction with a number of different ET beings since at least WWII, but he has been told to play dumb so as not to cause a public panic; or 2) Carson really is ignorant of the most important reality in human history due to a lack of any intellectual curiosity whatsoever.

 

Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.), chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation, is calling on Congress to hold a “series of hearings” on reported UFOs following last month’s highly anticipated release of an intelligence report on the subject.

The congressman said in interview Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that because the newly unclassified report on UFOs, referred to by the Pentagon as “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), was largely “inconclusive” on the origins of more than 140 objects, additional probes are needed.

“My hope … is that we will have a series of hearings and possibly a public hearing in the very near future,” Carson said, though he did not give a specific timeline.

“What we do know is that … there have been nearly 150 sightings,” he added. “Eighty of those sightings have been detected with some of the best technology the world has ever seen.”

While Carson said officials “can’t rule out something that’s otherworldly,” he added that was possible in only a “very small percentage” of cases.

Last month’s highly anticipated UAP report said that nearly all of the 144 such encounters documented by the U.S. government since 2004 remained a mystery, though the Office of Naval Intelligence’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force was able to confirm that one of the objects was a “large, deflating balloon.”

One of the possible explanations included in the report was that the UAP could be advanced technologies developed by U.S. adversaries such as China or Russia, potentially posing a national security threat.

The Coming Alien False Flag Psyop – New Webinar

In the last 18 months, the US and other major countries have created national space forces to deal with threats in space, and have pledged to cooperate in a multinational alliance to deal with such threats. We are in an unprecedented era of disclosure as billions of people around the world are finally being told about the reality of the UFO phenomenon and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

The June 25 Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Report to the US Congress not only asserted the reality of the technological superiority of some UFOs, but firmly placed their activities in the context of a major national security threat. Only a week later in Sun Valley, Idaho, Major Media and Big Tech CEOs met with intelligence insiders and CIA representatives in a closed-door meeting to coordinate narratives for the next twelve months as part of Operation Mockingbird.

While mainstream news agencies act as intelligence community propaganda tools to control and distract citizens, Major Media companies continue to produce blockbuster movies and television series depicting post-apocalyptic Earth societies dealing with alien invasions.

Today, UFO researchers are openly warning that a decades-long Deep State plan for a false flag alien invasion is about to go ahead and are calling it the “Cosmic Hoax.” Alternatively, several insiders have suggested that the more likely false flag scenario is an alien salvation event.

  • Why is the Deep State moving forward with an alien false flag event now?
  • What is the difference between a false flag “alien invasion” versus an “alien salvation” event?
  • How does the behind-the-scenes power struggle between White Hats/Earth Alliance and the Deep State over the 2020 US elections, COVID-19, and the June UAP Report, factor into the coming alien false flag event?
  • Where do different extraterrestrial groups stand on such a contrived event?

To answer these critical questions, Dr. Michael Salla, author of the Amazon best-selling Secret Space Programs series of books (2015-2021) will examine what the future holds in store for humanity as we are about to enter the final act in a decades-long titanic battle for dominance over Earth’s future.

French Space Agency Studied 600 UFO Cases Over 64 Years

Article by Gautam Peddada                                            June 23, 2021                                                    (collective-evolution.com)

• While everyone is focused on the American version of the study, which will contain over 120 events, the French sub-agency that investigates UFOs, GEIPAN, has released a report that covers over 600 recorded incidents over a 64-year period, encompassing 56 nations. The paper concentrates on 290 of these incidents that had an impact on flight safety. North America (Canada and USA) had 298 instances, 108 instances were reported in Europe, and 33 instances occurred in French airspace.

• The distribution of the 600 cases by year reveals that 320 instances (53%) occurred between 1946 and 1960, with 275 cases (46%) concentrated between 1950 and 1957. The year with the most instances (83 cases) was 1952, followed by 1954 with 40 cases. The years 1952 in the United States and 1954 in Europe are regarded as the two peak years for UFO sightings.

• There is no discernible seasonal trend. July has the most instances (75) compared to the other months, and April has the fewest cases (29). The remaining 10 months had between 42 and 56 instances, which does not appear to be a substantial difference. Of 562 occurrences, 54% occurred at night and 46% occurred during the day.

• The UFO sightings recorded by military pilots are the most common during a 64-year period at 42%. Commercial pilots reported 39%, while private pilots recorded 18%. But from 1990 to 2010, commercial aircraft instances were the most frequent at 70%, military pilots reported 17%, and private pilots reported 13% of the instances. This is likely related to a shroud of military secrecy about UFOs. Of the instances reported by military aircraft, 75% happened during a 14-year period from 1946 for 1959. 24% of the cases were observed by two or more aircraft in flight, and two-thirds of the 600 cases were seen by two or more witnesses.

• Of the 278 cases where radar was employed, radar positively identified the UFO in 162 cases. In 115 cases, radar did not support an observer’s sighting. In 34 cases, the visual observation of a UFO was verified by both airborne and ground radar. In one case in 1995, the crew of a B-757 noticed a black cigar-shaped wingless object below their aircraft 15–20 miles away. On radar, it looked to be motionless, then surged in a burst of speed for 20 to 30 seconds before coming to a complete halt. It lingered for one and a half minutes before accelerating again in a burst of speed between 1000 and 1400 mph. This was done many times during a four-minute period, after which the target vanished.

• Pilots classify UFOs as either “light points” or “objects” which have a solid appearance. 74% of the UFO ‘objects’ reported were described as having a three-dimensional, solid aspect. The most commonly reported ‘objects’ are round or elliptical with a metallic appearance. But additional forms have been reported including two yellow objects shaped like hamburgers (1980); a giant triangle-shaped object (Chile 1978); an airliner fuselage without any wings or tail, with potholes lighted from inside (France 1985); an elliptical shape, flat below and slightly domed on the upper part (Sahara 1965); a large translucent metallic mushroom (Australia 1954).

• Interaction cases, where the UFO appears to react to the presence of an aircraft, were observed in half of the instances. These cases fall into three categories: (1) UFO conducts maneuvers to approach, chase, or escape from the aircraft; (2) dogfights with military aircraft; and (3) UFO circles or performs maneuvers near to the aircraft and may cause electromagnetic impacts on aviation systems. In 78 occasions, a UFO approached the plane on a collision path, and in 6 cases there was a near-collision with the aircraft. The pilot was required to take evasive action in 31 occasions to avoid colliding with the UFO, including three cases involving commercial aircraft in which passengers were wounded during the move.

• The most troublesome element of UFO contacts were situations in which permanent or transitory electromagnetic impacts occurred on aircraft systems – usually private craft – during flight. In 81 of the 600 cases, electromagnetic interference was seen and reported, and everything from radios to weaponry was impacted.

 

While everyone is focused on the American version of the study, which will contain over 120 events, GEIPAN has released a report that covers over 600 recorded incidents by pilots over a 64-year period. The paper concentrates on 290 of these incidents when the unidentified aerial device had (or may have had) an impact on flight safety.

While the study has received little attention, there are several data points that are essential in establishing or verifying particular aspects of the phenomena. It will be fascinating to see if the DNI’s report to Congress has comparable results, or if they will disclose these findings in the public realm.

1946 to 1960 was a period of the most UFO sightings

1952 & 1954 — The Peak Years

The distribution of the 600 cases by year reveals that 320 instances (53%) occurred over a 16-year period (from 1946 to 1960), with 275 cases (46%) occurring between 1950 and 1957. The year with the most instances (83 cases) was 1952, followed by 1954 with 40 cases. The years 1952 in the United States and 1954 in Europe are regarded as the two peak years for UAP sightings.

There is no discernible seasonal trend in the distribution of these 600 cases per month. July has the most instances (75) compared to the other months, and April has the fewest cases (29). The remaining 10 months had between 42 and 56 instances, which does not appear to be a substantial difference.

Witnesses failed to indicate the time of day in 38 cases (6 percent). Out of the remaining 562 occurrences, 305 (54%) occurred at night and 257 (46%) occurred during the day.

A Global Phenomenon

The 600 instances are almost universally dispersed. They are positioned over continental zones (564 in total), encompassing 56 nations, as well as above marine zones (36 cases). The American continent (North, Central, and South America) had 376 cases (58 percent), with North America having 298 instances (Canada and USA). 108 instances have been reported above Europe, with 33 of them occurring in French airspace.

The Cosmic Hoax: What’s Coming?

On July 4, Dr. Steven Greer released his latest documentary film – ‘The Cosmic Hoax’. In it, he presented evidence of a decades-long plan to stage an alien false flag invasion. He described multiple aspects of the plan and key figures in its implementation. He asserts that the staged event is imminent given recent developments in the mass media and US politics concerning the June 25 UAP report. What’s missing in Dr Greer’s analysis of a Cosmic Hoax is another kind of alien false flag event.

In this Exopolitics Today podcast, Dr. Michael Salla examines The Cosmic Hoax, pointing out its strengths and shortcomings as an expose on a future alien psyop, especially when it comes to a very different kind of staged alien event – an ‘Alien Rescue’ or ‘Salvation’.

UFO Spotted by Wales UK Police Chopper in 2016

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

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

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

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

 

                  close up of UFO image

A UFO that was caught on camera travelling at about 106mph was filmed by a police

helicopter in the UK.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Unclassified UAPTF Report Was for the Purpose of Global Perception

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

                          Richard Dolan

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

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

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

                    Dolan’s document

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

Extraterrestrial Hypothesis

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

Five Famous Kentucky UFO Encounters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Most UFO sightings can be explained away.

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

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

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

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

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

             Hopkinsville creatures

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

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

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

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

Fatal air chase: Fort Knox, 1948

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

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

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

        Thomas F. Mantell

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

                       William Cooper

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

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

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

 Thomas Edwin Castello

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NASA Trains its Sights on Venus Again in 2028

June 22, 2021                                                        (timesnownews.com)

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

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

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

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

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

 

                   DAVINCI+ module

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

                      VERITAS orbiter

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

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

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

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

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

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

DAVINCI+

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

UAPTF Report: UFOs Are Real. Now What?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

Famous ‘Tic Tac’ UFO Spotted Over England

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

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

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

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

          original ‘Tic Tac’ UFO in 2004

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

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

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

Pentagon UFO Report is ‘Complete Whitewash’ Say Conspiracy Theorists

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Misty Ingram at the Alien Research Center

flying objects spotted since 2004.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

              Tuscon police helicopter

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

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

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

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

But they lost it at about 14,000 feet.

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

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

Unfortunately no video recording was made of the bizarre incident.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

                Alex Dietrich

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

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

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

                David Fravor

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

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

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

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

The US Navy has previously confirmed the videos as authentic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Leaked Summary of Classified UAP Report – Genuine or Disinformation?

On June 30, veteran UFO researcher Richard Dolan released a leaked summary of the classified version of the UAP report delivered to the US Senate five days earlier. The alleged summary asserts that members of Congress were informed of eight breakthrough propulsion technologies being studied and tested at Nevada’s Area 51 and Tonopah Test Range. None of the advanced propulsion technologies were deployed outside of these testing facilities, according to the summary, and therefore none of craft identified in the June 25 UAP report belong to the US.

This Exopolitics Today podcast examines competing claims over whether evidence exists that such craft have been successfully built and deployed by different branches of the US military.

Scientist Kevin Knuth Looks at the Physics of UFOs

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Five UFO/Alien Sightings From Ohio USA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

1. Portage County, 1966

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

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

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

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