7-04-19 A+E Networks and HISTORY (History Channel) have a runaway hit in its UFO drama series Project Blue Book. The show has secured a raft of new sales among international broadcasters for its second season.
E17 Why Have There Been So Many UFO Sightings Near Nuclear Facilities?
7-03-19 Former high-ranking US defense and intelligence officials, aerospace-industry veterans, academics and others associated with ‘To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science’ are asking:
E16 Why Pilots Are Seeing UFOs
7-02-19 In the summer of 1947, following a widely reported incident of a “flying saucer” over Mt. Rainier in Washington state, people began to believe that these unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were actually alien spacecraft prowling the Earth.
E15 Is the Air Force Flying Planes Developed From Alien Tech?
6-30-19 Top Secret super high-tech experimental airplanes that are tested over notorious air force bases such as Wright-Patterson, Groom Lake, and Area 51 have often been mistaken for UFOs. In fact, UFOs and secret military aircraft have been so intimately related that it is thought that they were actually “reverse engineered” from crashed and captured UFOs.
E14 Recent UFO Encounters With Navy Pilots Occurred Constantly Across Multiple Squadrons
(6-29-19) It was recently reported that US Navy Super Hornet aircraft pilots out of Master Jet Base NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, VA detected UFOs off of the East Coast multiple times on radar during the period of 2014/2015, and one pilot even had a virtual close encounter with one of them.
NASA Space Video Shows Swarms of UFOs Floating Near Soyuz Rocket

• A new International Space Station (ISS) video on YouTube has revealed a swarm of UFOs approaching a Russian Soyuz spacecraft as it prepares to dock with the ISS in December 2015. As sunlight hits the spacecraft and illuminates its surroundings, tiny orbs of light begin to appear in the background. Some of these, including a ring-shaped object, closely approach the spacecraft as if they’re examining it. (see 10:14 minute video below)
• The 2015 event closely resembles the infamous UFO Tether Incident from the STS-75 Space Shuttle mission in 1996. The main objective of the Columbia shuttle mission was to deploy a tethered satellite in space, but the tether securing the satellite broke. The NASA cameras then picked up dozens of small ring-shaped orbs converging on NASA’s satellite as it drifted in space. (see 2 minute video below)
A new video revealed a swarm of UFOs approaching a Soyuz spacecraft as it prepared to dock with NASA’s International Space Station (ISS). The event closely resembled the infamous UFO Tether Incident from the STS-75 mission in 1996.
UFO enthusiast Scott Waring of ET Data Base recently shared a video made by a YouTube user about a strange incident that happened with the ISS. In the clip, a Soyuz spacecraft can be seen preparing its approach in order to dock with the station.
As sunlight hits the spacecraft and illuminates its surroundings, tiny orbs of light begin to appear in the background. Some of these, including a ring-shaped object, even closely approach the spacecraft as if they’re examining it.
Due to the deliberate and non-uniformed movements of the objects, Waring speculated that the UFOsseen in the video could actually be living organisms. He even likened the objects to plankton found on Earth. Waring theorized that they approached the Soyuz spacecraft out of curiosity.

What We Get Wrong When We Talk About UFOs
Listen to “E22 7-7-19 What We Get Wrong When We Talk About UFOs” on Spreaker.
by Faye Flam June 25, 2019 (bloomberg.com)
• Navy pilots have reported seeing alien UFOs is the skies, and Congressmen are being briefed on it. These UFO sightings should be investigated in a scientific way, but errors in thinking are undermining the effort. There are two reasons why we should not conclude that these are extraterrestrial craft.
• But the pro-extraterrestrial visitation arguments rest on two serious errors. One is the confusion of observations with interpretations, and the other is a slight twist on an error called ‘god of the gaps’.
• The first error is that Navy pilots cannot know a flying object’s speed or acceleration without knowing whether these were little things seen up close, or bigger things farther away. Former NASA engineer James Oberg says, “The bizarre events reported by Navy pilots are not ‘observations’; they are interpretations of what the raw observations might mean.”
• The second error is that when a scientist cannot explain something, they go to the supernatural explanation or an “act of God”. The same thing is happening with UFOs, with alien visitors being used to fill gaps in our understanding of the latest detection technology, the sky and human vision. Extraterrestrial visitors and gods fall into the same category of unscientific explanation because they haven’t shown themselves to humanity in a coherent enough way for claims about them to be tested.
• The arguments for extraterrestrial UFOs falsely equate the possibility that extraterrestrial life exists with the plausibility that it’s visiting us. Yes, there are other planets out there, and some might harbor life forms. But why should we assume they’d want to come here? Are we really that exciting?
• Many UFOs have been explained scientifically. The Air Force conducted studies starting in 1947, and continuing through the 1960’s, when the matter was turned over to a panel of civilian scientists headed by physicist Edward Condon at the University of Colorado. The committee explained most of the outstanding cases as reflections, equipment glitches, balloons, astronomical phenomena and human-built craft. So what about the unexplained cases?
• Len Finegold, a retired UC physics professor who consulted on a few Condon cases says there are plenty of unexplained phenomena left in physics, “so we’re used to that.” Mysteries of life may one day be solved, but in the meantime, let’s get comfortable with the gaps.
• [Editor’s Note] This is a hard core Deep State response to the UFO phenomenon, which the government has maintained since the 1940’s. They roll out their greatest hits of half-baked, irrational arguments to prove that UFOs and aliens do not exist. First, experienced Navy pilots have no idea what they are looking at. Second, the ignorant public tends to attribute outrageous religious or supernatural explanations to natural but as yet undiscovered phenomenon. Thirdly, the government has thoroughly and scientifically examined the UFO phenomenon and proclaimed that there is nothing to it. Lastly – and this is the best one – why would any extraterrestrial want to come here? It appears that the Deep State has shifted its ‘deny and cover-up’ strategy from all-out ridicule to a reasoned argument that we’re all just a bunch of idiots who should leave the heavy thinking to the ‘experts’.
If you’re reluctant to believe the latest round of media claims that alien spacecraft are lurking around our airspace and surprising Navy pilots, well, you are not alone.
The New York Times leaned toward aliens as the reason Navy pilots have seen unexplained flying objects, and the Washington Post made a similar case in its news coverage followed by a guest editorial: “UFOs exist and everyone needs to adjust to that fact.” Others followed suit. Congress is getting classified briefings.
But the pro-extraterrestrial visitation arguments rest on two serious errors. One is the confusion of observations with interpretations, and the other is a slight twist on an error called god of the gaps. The UFO sightings should be investigated in a scientific way, but the errors are undermining the effort.
The first error made in most of the news coverage was to claim that Navy pilots observed craft that accelerated, rose upwards or turned faster than was physically possible. But pilots can’t know any object’s speed or acceleration without knowing whether these were little things, seen close up, or bigger things, that were farther away. It’s just one clue that the vocabulary is being blurred.
James Oberg, a former NASA engineer turned space journalist, pointed out: “The bizarre events reported by Navy pilots are not ‘observations’; they are interpretations of what the raw observations might mean.” To start an investigation from a conclusion rather than from data is, he says, “a recipe for confusion and frustration and dead-ended detours.” 1
The other error cropped up many times when I wrote newspaper stories about evolution. Readers would sometimes write in to argue that if scientists couldn’t completely explain some phenomenon – say, the origin of DNA – then it must be an act of God. Theologians sometimes use the term “god of the gaps” to describe the erroneous use of supernatural explanations for natural phenomena that aren’t yet explained. The same thing is happening with UFOs, with alien visitors being used to fill gaps in our understanding of the latest detection technology, the sky and human vision.

E13 Lawmakers Are ‘Coming Out of the Woodwork’ to be Briefed on UFOs
(6-28-19) The US Navy has been organizing UFO briefings for members of Congress, since Navy pilots’ reported encounters with ‘Tic Tac’-looking UFOs off of both US coasts. Briefings have been given to Defense Intelligence staff and Congressional oversight committee members.
E12 Most Extensive Search Through Space Confirms We Are Alone
(6-27-19) The most comprehensive search for alien life to date has found we’re alone in the universe. For three years, the Breakthrough Listen project has searched 1,327 stars within an area covering 160 light years of Earth for signs of intelligent life.
E11 The Strangest UFO Sightings From West London
(6-25-19) Over the past 11 years, Britain’s Ministry of Defence has declassified secret files on UFO sightings, giving the public access to previously undisclosed information in the National UFO archives.
E10 Scientists Narrow Search After Shocking Find About Extraterrestrials
(6-24-19) Scientists searching for habitable alien worlds usually focus on the ‘habitable zone’, where the region of space is neither too cold nor too warm for life to exist.
Video: Did A Rectangle UFO Shoot Down A Nuclear Missile Aimed At Hawaii?
In this mind blowing interview with Dr. Michael Salla, we discussed his most recent article “Did a Flying Rectangle shoot down a Nuclear Ballistic Missile aimed at Hawaii?” from his website exopolitics.org.
E09-Why is the Government Finally Admitting UFOs are Real, and Why Should We Pay Attention?
(6-22-19) Luis Elizondo: Why is the Government Finally Admitting UFOs are Real, and Why Should We Pay Attention?
December 2017, the world was stunned to learn that pilots from the USS Nimitz, while conducting exercises off of the coast of California in 2004, had encountered (“tic tac”-shaped) UFOs that were able to perform impossible aerodynamic maneuvers.
Will “Open-Minded” Trump Be The Disclosure President?
The foundation continues to be laid to validate PRG Director Steve Bassett’s May 2019 prediction that “full disclosure is imminent!”
If that happens now it would make Donald Trump the disclosure president much to the chagrin of those suffering from TDS who dreamed that Hillary Clinton would garner that title.
There’s a strong argument to be made that she would have justifiably earned that label had she won the 2016 election. Starting with her work with the Rockefeller Initiative back in the late 1990s and right up to the last presidential campaign where both she and her campaign manager, John Podesta, more than hinted of their intention to end The Truth Embargo, Hillary has been a champion of greater transparency when it came to UFOs/UAVs.
Trump’s discussion with Tucker Carlson in Korea a few days ago is fascinating: he states that solid grounds for believing UFOs are real even if he doesn’t embrace the idea that they are extraterrestrial.
The key point is that he is talking about the subject……again……following his recent chat with George Stephanopoulos where the subject was raised for the first time with him.
Trump is discussing this in public in the context of the media being inundated with reports on the formerly taboo topic and admits that he is “open-minded” about it all since the pilots and other witnesses are credible.
Is this another baby-step along the soft disclosure road set in motion with the formation of TTSA in October of 2017 and the New York Times article two months later describing the ATTP? It sure seems like it to me.
Maybe Richard C. Hoagland will have something to say about this on July 20th when he may follow up his recent interview with Clyde Lewis where he suggested some sort of big announcement is on the way.
The 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing would seem the perfect time for Trump to say that he had received a new briefing and that ETs and/or their crashed craft are here. Hoagland has sent the president a special report on the Moon and Mars which might be all he needs.
Combine the rash of discussion about UFOs after decades of official denial with Trump’s Space Force, other revelations like the Wilson/Davis notes about a downed alien vehicle and many reports by military and civilians of UFO sightings and we have a clear indication that Bassett may indeed be right.
I thought he was premature in his prediction and that another Middle East war with Iran was more likely. Maybe it will turn out that both forecasts prove true.
But if we receive official confirmation of the ET presence on Earth, that would make Trump the Disclosure President, something a man with his lust for fame and notoriety would surely relish in the run-up to the 2020 election…….and as a permanent legacy of his presidency!
