Lord Martin Rees: Aliens Fascinate Everyone, But Only Kooks See UFOs

Astronomers -- the men and women who study the stars, galaxies and beyond -- have an almost universal agreement that there's nothing of scientific interest when it comes to the subject of UFOs.

In fact, many professionals who gaze into the heavens actually speak about UFO sightings with disdain -- even though countless military officials, heads of state, newsmakers and commercial pilots have said they've seen unidentified flying objects.

"No serious astronomer gives any credence to any of these stories," said Lord Martin Rees, the official U.K. astronomer royal.

Rees, author of the new book, "From Here To Infinity: A Vision For The Future Of Science," told The Huffington Post that, while "everyone's fascinated by aliens," he's in favor of the ongoing SETI Institute program -- the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

"We should look by all possible techniques," Rees said. "We've no idea what's out there, and so we should look for anything that might seem to be some sort of artifact rather than something natural."

While Rees said he hopes real extraterrestrials will be detected within the next 40 years, he's completely and "utterly unconvinced" that any ETs have been visiting Earth.

"I think most astronomers would dismiss these," Rees said. "I dismiss them because if aliens had made the great effort to traverse interstellar distances to come here, they wouldn't just meet a few well-known cranks, make a few circles in corn fields and go away again."

Nevertheless, in a recent HuffPost blog, SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak wrote about the daily emails he receives from people describing "alien sightings, extraterrestrial plans for Earth, and agitated screeds about the reluctance of scientists to take the whole subject seriously."

Shostak said very few of those emails "are penned by hoaxers. The correspondents are sincere, and many simply wish to help us in our search for evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence."

While Shostak may at first appear sympathetic to folks claiming that aliens are already here, he said he sees no real evidence.

"It's hard to believe that the aliens have cleverly arranged things so that only governments can find convincing evidence of their presence. ... The fact is, if you're certain that our planet is hosting alien visitors, the way to gain acceptance for your point of view is to prove it."

Are We Alone In The Universe? Lord Martin Rees And Seth Shostak Explore The Possibilities:

 

Another astronomer, James McGaha, said he agrees with Rees' contention that UFO reports should be dismissed.

"I totally agree with that. Rees is making what I call an elegant argument," McGaha, a retired Air Force pilot and director of the Grasslands Observatory in Tucson, Ariz., told HuffPost.

McGaha held a top secret security clearance during his career and was directly involved with classified projects at the now-legendary Area 51 military facility in Nevada. He's a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and has discovered numerous asteroids and comets.

McGaha is also a UFO debunker.

"I've got over 40,000 hours looking at the night sky, and I've never seen -- not once in 50 years -- something that I didn't know what it was. I've seen many strange things, but never anything I couldn't identify," McGaha said.

"Most professional astronomers don't look at the sky. Most of them sit in a room with computers and image the sky, so they don't ever go outside and look, and many of them don't know how to actually identify the constellations in the sky -- it's unfortunate, but that's the way it is."

McGaha gives no credence to any of the tens of thousands of UFO sightings or encounters that reliable people have reported.

"I don't think there's a single observation or report that I'm aware of that indicates an alien spacecraft -- not one," he said. "And I've looked at all of the important cases.

"Scientists are very sensitive to evidence and data. What physical evidence is there that an alien spacecraft has actually ever visited Earth? There is none, zero. And until there is -- an artifact, a piece, an alien -- scientists will not even think about investigating this," he said.

McGaha concedes -- just a little -- that UFOs, or alien ships, "are not impossible. If there's an intelligent race out there, they could build a spacecraft and get here. It would be very difficult, would require enormous resources and motivation to do it. It's not impossible, but highly unlikely."

Others disagree about the rift between scientists and the UFO "community."

"I'm dismayed by the lack of understanding between the two groups," said journalist Nick Pope, who used to investigate UFOs for the U.K. Ministry of Defense.

"Unless they've studied the phenomenon, astronomers are no more qualified to talk about UFOs than ufologists are to talk about, say, titanium oxide production in K-type stars. It's like marine biologists and oil company executives saying they understand each other's fields because they're both looking for something in the sea. The sea is about the only thing they have in common. So it is with astronomers, ufologists and the sky," Pope wrote in an email to HuffPost.

Initially a skeptic, Pope's years at the Ministry of Defense led him to believe that, at the very least, the UFO subject was "worthy of proper, scientific research. Especially where one has, for example, photos, videos or radar data, because such things can be studied in a proper, scientific manner. It's unscientific to ignore data simply because it doesn't fit your worldview."

Pope is one of several speakers -- including retired Air Force and Army colonels -- who are taking part in a special lecture on Sept. 22, titled "Military UFOs: Secrets Revealed," to be held at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas.

Are these real UFOs ... or something else?

UFOs? Maybe They're Just..

UFO 'Secrets' To Be Revealed In September, Says National Atomic Testing Museum

In just a few weeks, some kind of UFO-related secrets will be revealed at a Smithsonian Institution affiliated museum.

That's the implied promise in the title of a special lecture coming up at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas on Sept. 22.

The secrets haven't yet been revealed, but the players involved certainly present the potential for something intriguing to emerge from this one-night event that's part of the museum's ongoing Area 51 lecture series.

Watch this promo for the upcoming UFO lecture at the National Atomic Testing Museum.

"We looked at bringing in some people to talk about extraterrestrials and UFOs," said museum CEO and executive director Allan Palmer, a highly decorated former Air Force and Navy combat jet fighter.

"We wanted to concentrate on people who had personal stories and exposure to what they thought were real UFOs from the military side, because they might have just a little more credibility than your average Joe," Palmer told The Huffington Post.

Four of the participants had previous American military security clearances:

Ret. Army Col. John Alexander: Former military insider who created Advanced Theoretical Physics -- a group of top-level government officials and scientists brought together to study UFOs.

Ret. Air Force Col. Charles Halt: Former base commander of the RAF Bentwaters military base in England and vital eyewitness to the amazing UFO-related events at Rendlesham Forest in December 1980, where he believed the observed UFOs were extraterrestrial in origin.

Ret. Air Force Col. William Coleman: Former USAF bomber pilot, chief of Air Force public information and producer of NBC's "Project UFO" series.

Ret. Air Force Col. Robert Friend: Former director of the Air Force's Project Blue Book from 1958 to 1963.

The fifth guest at the museum's upcoming UFO lecture is former U.K. UFO desk officer Nick Pope.

What's going to be different about this one-time lecture compared to previous gatherings where military personnel have stepped forward to reveal details about personal UFO experiences?

"One of the things that is different is that you have high credibility vetted sources," Alexander told HuffPost. "What you're getting from this panel are people who have worked with the military, all of whom certainly agree that UFOs are real, and I think most of them would say it ought to be researched.

"Here, you're getting a small number [of participants], but high credibility people."

At the Sept. 22 lecture, Pope will speak of the similarities between how the U.K. and U.S. governments had similar UFO study groups and why both countries officially got out of the UFO business.

"In both instances, the bottom line was that we wanted Joe Sixpack off our backs. Strip out all the mistaken sightings of weather balloons and dump all the crazies, and we might just have something worth looking at," Pope told HuffPost in an e-mail.

"But you can't do that in a public UFO project, because it's a kook magnet," he said. "The trick is to highlight all the crazy stuff in the media, so the subject becomes a joke, pull the plug, then run the whole thing covertly. Now I'm not saying this is exactly what happened, but if an Air Force pilot sees something unusual and it's tracked on military radar, does anyone seriously think we wouldn't be interested?"

While none of the participants of the upcoming lecture have offered a preview of any UFO revelation, Pope promises to disclose "some hitherto unrevealed secrets of the British government's UFO project."

This isn't the first time the Las Vegas museum has offered a provocative UFO presentation.

Back in March of this year, the Smithsonian venue opened its doors to an ongoing exhibit called "Area 51: Myth or Reality," providing a comprehensive look at the historic records of the most secret military installation in the country.

Among the many items displayed are materials presented as "Authentic Alien Artifact" -- samples of small objects originating from an alleged UFO crash in Russia.

Special Reports

The world is not ending even though the Mayan civilization ended... Perhaps millions of years from now our sun may burn out and we will have to find a new planet like aliens claim to be doing. Despite the end of the Mayan Calendar the world is not ending. Expect hurricanes, flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes, drought, environmental and economic trouble and wars but the Earth is protected from ending. It is probably a good idea to pray for your loved ones particularly your children. Make them wise in what is good and innocent and in what is evil.

President James Earl Carter Saw UFO

When Governor of Georgia at a Southern Governors’ Conference President Carter states, "I don’t laugh at people any more when they say they’ve seen UFOs. I’ve seen one myself. "It was the darndest thing I’ve ever seen. It was big; it was very bright; it changed colors and it was about the size of the moon ...."We watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure out what it was. "One thing’s for sure, I’ll never make fun of people who say they’ve seen unidentified objects in the sky." If I become President, I’ll make every piece of information that this Country has about UFO sightings available to the public and scientists." [Later, after he had been elected to the Presidency, he changed his mind.]

F-16s Intercept Unidentified Craft

District of Columbia -- Air National Guard's 121st Fighter Squadron F-16 maneuvers to intercept a Civil Air Patrol Cessna 172 during air defense exercise Fertile Keynote near Patuxent, Maryland on August 28, 2012. F-16s are on alert at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, home of the squadron, and have scrambled more than 3,700 times for potential unidentified air threats to Washington, D.C., since 9/11, according to Air Guard officials. Training against CAP aircraft simulates the "low and slow" aircraft that most commonly stray into the restricted airspace of the nation's capital. (Staff photo by Arie Church)

Navy MZ3A Airship and Lifting Stones

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst – On September 11, 2012, I spotted the Navy Airship MZ3A's flying over Barnegat Bay, New Jersey. Its role is testing, training, and being a proof-of-concept vehicle for various promising airborne systems and operations. Airships are making a comeback since the last two World Wars.

Perhaps airships or balloons were used in ancient times to lift giant stones. Even our best engineers have been stumped of how to transport 50 ton stones from the quarries in Southern Egypt 500 miles the to Giza Pyramids near Cairo. Lighter than air-ships can carry a tremendous amount of weight. The Gods Isis and the Sky God Nut were depicted with wings indicating flight. Engineering studies indicate the stones used to build the pyramids were thought to be too heavy to be carried on Egyptian boats. The largest boats were 30 meters long with 30 rowers and most were made from reeds. However, the blocks of stones might have been lifted above the boats in lighter than air craft. The boats could provide the propulsion with oars or sail and pull the craft along above them.

If the ancients realized hot air balloons, or lighter than air balloons filled with hydrogen, helium, or natural gas abundant in Egypt could lift tons of weight they could have floated huge blocks of stone into place. These are a few of the wings found throughout ancient Egypt. Is it possible they represent a kind of dirigible that could lift great weight? Airship designers often conservatively estimate helium’s lift at 60 lbs per 1,000 cubic feet and hydrogen’s lift at 68 lbs per 1,000 cubic feet.

Contrary to what evolutionists claim, the history of mankind is full of proofs that ancient peoples possessed far superior technologies than had been believed. The Egyptians used torches for light and had dark and white light that likely used batteries. One of these proofs is the Ancient Egyptians’ knowledge of electricity and likely used a filament like flash light bulb as shown in the sculpture from the Dendera Temple.  In a documentary on ABC this lighting system was tested by scientists in front of cameras and success was achieved and light obtained. This is basically a huge light bulb that worked through the technique shown in the ancient Egyptian wall painting.

 The lift would best be obtained with hydrogen inside large balloons or dirigibles. The hydrogen atom is nothing more than a single proton, captured in a cloud of negative charge from the electrons surrounding whatever compound it's part of. When you use electricity to split water, you send an electron from the battery down into the water, where it finds a water molecule, rips off a proton, and the proton and electron combine to form a hydrogen atom. You're making the atoms up pretty much from scratch, no accelerator or nuclear reactor required, just a battery, and ancient batteries have been found.

Cylinder Shaped UFOs

Nazca Airport Cut Out of Mountain

 The Nazca lines might not have been runways, but they were made to be visible from the air. So exactly who was up in the air to look at them and what did they get there in? If you examine other "art" from the period you will see that jaguars look like jaguars and people look like people and coyotes look like coyotes and cactus look like cactus. The claim that this is a runway was first made by Erich Von Daniken in the early 70s, It appears the top of this mountain in Peru was sheared off and flattened to make a runway thousands of years ago. Millions of tons of rock had to blasted and moved. I wonder who could do that on top of a mountain?.

Antarctica Pyramids?

With the melting of the ice and snow in the Antarctic several pyramid like structures have been located. There are several pictures of what may be pyramids in Antarctica, that may be manmade or alien made. All over the world and even under the sea there are pyramids hundreds of feet tall being found that are thousands of years old. Several hundred in China/Tibet are thought to be12, 000 years old. They provide strong evidence of extraterrestrial intervention or that advanced civilizations once existed on Earth.

Pyramid Mountain located at ( 77°47′S 160°40′E77.783°S 160.667°Eis a mountain resembling a pyramid, rising to 2,120 meters (6,955 ft) in Antarctica. The name first appears on maps of the British Antarctic Expedition (R.F. Scott), in 1910-13, but the mountain was almost certainly seen for the first time during Scott's first expedition in 1901. Pyramid Mountain is just short of 7,000 feet or more than a mile high and would have been a tremendous feat to build.

The picture below shows one and possibly two or three pyramids lined up Giza style. They look like natural mountains, but they could have been used as power plants to energize the craft. Christopher Dunn book, “The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt,” explains the technology of how the pyramids gather electrical energy.

Frankly, I think we’re looking at ordinary mountains here, albeit ones of unusual apparent symmetry. But suppose we are looking at constructed pyramids or mountains shaved to have the pyramid shape. What would it mean?

Well, for one thing, it could confirm the speculation by the German Nazis, who believed that the ice-covered continent was in fact Atlantis that literally was “sunk” or hidden under the ice. Hitler sent an expedition in late 1938 and 1939 to Antarctica and built a base to launch aerial reconnaissance flights and allegedly found ancient structures.

At the end of World War II many Nazis escaped from Germany and traveled to Antarctica. In 1947 Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal sent a naval task force to Antarctic including Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Krusen and Admiral Byrd, called "Operation Highjump". It was touted to be an expedition to find "coal deposits" and other valuable resources, but in actuality they were trying to find the underground base of the Nazis (Aryans) in Neuschwabenlandt. According to Commander Bethune a secret war was fought with heavy Navy loses caused by strange disc shaped craft.

The Nazis had done a very detailed study of Antarctic and were alleged to have built an underground base there. In this regard however, the Aryans have had an underground under the ice habitation in Antarctic for more than a million years.

The task force of over 40 ships, included the flagship "Mount Olympus", the aircraft carrier "Philippine Sea", the seaplane tender "Pine Sea", the submarine "Senate", the destroyer "Bronson", the ice breaker "Northwind", and other tanker and supply ships. An armed contingent of 1400 sailors, and three dog sled teams were also on board.

 The expedition was filmed by the Navy and brought to Hollywood to be made into a commercial film called "The Secret Land". It was narrated by Hollywood actor Robert Montgomery (Naval reserve Officer) .

There were three divisions of Operation High Jump: one land group with tractors, explosives, and plenty of equipment to refurbish "Little America", and make an airstrip to land the six R-4D's shown above (DC-3's), and two seaplane groups. The R4-D's were fitted with jet-assist takeoff bottles (JATO) in order to takeoff from the short runway of the aircraft carrier "Philippine Sea". They also were fitted with large skis for landing on the ice field prepared for them. The skis were specially fitted at three inches above the surface of the carrier deck. When landing on the ice at "Little America" the three inches of tire in contact with the snow and ice provided just enough and not too much drag for a smooth landing.

Admiral Byrd's team of six R4-D’s was fitted with the super secret "Trimetricon" spy cameras and each plane was trailing a magnetometer. They flew over as much of the continent as they could in the short three month "summer" period, mapping and recording magnetic data. Magnetometers show anomalies in the Earth's magnetism. On the last of many "mapping" flights where all six planes went out, each on certain pre-ordained paths to film and "measure" with magnetometers, Admiral Byrd's plane returned THREE HOURS LATE. It was stated that he had "lost an engine" and had had to throw everything overboard except the films themselves and the results of magnetometer readings in order to maintain altitude long enough to return to Little America.

This is most certainly the time when he met with representatives of the Aryans and a contingent of Nazis. The task force came steaming back with their data which then became classified "Top Secret".

Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal retired and started to "talk". He was put in Bethesda Naval Hospital psychiatric ward where he was prevented from seeing or talking to anyone, including his wife! After a short while he died under suspicious circumstances allegedly jumping out of a window while trying to hang himself. It was ruled a suicide, case closed. He was telling people about the underground Aryan base.

The true story may never be revealed. What was found may reveal ancient records and technologies. See the The Secret Land | "Operation Highjump" The US Navy's Expedition to Antarctica in 1947. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1z3b8Pp_h8

Hillary Clinton

Rick Pinfold writes from New Zealand, “This week`s revelation that Hillary Clinton not only reads Filer`s Files, but is obviously captured by the UFO "Fascination''...with book clutched in hand...seems that the Clintons, as dynamic and forward-looking as they obviously are.” I`m greatly impressed with Hillary`s peace and trade efforts in our tiny part of the world..Well done Hillary...as previous Presidencies have allegedly come up against the inevitable brick wall, in pursuit of the UFO facts...How is it ,that in such a great democratic nation, can support the suspected "Inner Sanctum''...totally autonomous from the elected Government? This writer might imagine the ferociously guarded prizes obtained by various means, and by highly privileged individuals, must be obviously through elite hierarchies, deny even the people`s President, confidence in acceptance of existences of materiel objects, deviating life forms and knowledge of hitherto unknown. "Matter parameter properties and structures"...or have they discovered parameters possessed by mankind, long un-utilized?...This writer, has seen and experienced, the very assets that such a cartel would give their eye teeth to adapt for violent purposes from their weapons and warfare industries...The concepts of such applications, is why my account, detailed over 80 pages, "The Valley Files"...remains unpublished ....What would you do?...Keep Searching`...Rick Pinfold, South Pacific Research,(SPR)...Otaki Beach, North Island, New Zealand.

Syria Might be Attacked by NATO

On August 28, 2012, in a meeting in Brussels, NATO military leaders in consultation with “telephonic liaison” with officers of military forces in several former Soviet Republics, major African states, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf states came to a combined unanimous decision to act against Syria.

However, NATO isn't planning for an intervention in Syria, at this time until Russia and China back away from their firm support of Syria. Turkey a NATO member had its F-4 jet shot down on June 22, 2012, by Syria and may be drawn into the conflict as thousands of Syrian refugees are crossing the border into Turkey. There're many parallels between the situation in Syria today and in Libya before NATO's intervention there in 2011—and "clearly the scale of brutality has surpassed that in Libya." Syria also has "more formidable defenses" than Libya, he said, although they're nothing NATO "couldn't handle." But in Syria, NATO is stymied by not having a UN mandate as it did in Libya. A serious border incident between Turkey and Syria could bring NATO into the fighting. Allegedly there is systematic execution of hundreds of Sunni civilians by the Syrian Army. Videos, photos, and internet contacts continue to claim bombings of cities by the Syrian Air Force. The US is unlikely to enter the fighting until after the Presidential election

The Russians have numerous technicians in Syria operating its sophisticated S300P2 air defense system. Both Russia and China have vetoed UN sanctions against Syria much less authorized an attack against Syrian Forces...

France and Britain are being accused of providing direct aid, anti-aircraft weapons, and money to rebel-controlled areas of Syria. One video report shows rebels shooting down a Russia made Syrian helicopter.

The rebels also claim Iranian troops are now in Syria.  Meanwhile, rumors persist that Israel may launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear weapons manufacturing system. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked to meet with President Obama probably wanting clearance to overfly Iraq and attack Iran. For Iran, their choice seems on the surface to be in aiding Syria, They are using their oil leverage with India, China and others, complaining how the west is plotting against them. The Security Council has authorized four economic sanctions against Iran based on intelligence data.

The Syrian conflict could become a threat to world peace as nation’s line up to support either side in the fighting similar to what was predicted at Armageddon in Revelations.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Alaska Orbs

seward -- Robert writes, “I see a lot of UFO, activity around here and have been thinking about trying to get their attention so I went to Anchorage and bought a very good laser.” I know not to shine it at aircraft, and Seward is way off the commercial jet routes, so I grabbed this laser, one extremely clear night. I saw what looked like a satellite, very high in the sky and used my laser and shined it in front of it. It then powered up very brightly and then many orbs converged in that area from nowhere. They then lit up all over the sky around us, powering up then going dark. My wife was beside me watching, this go on.

Lights were coming on and off all over the sky. She got scared, and ran into the house fearing that I upset them. This was just amazing; I’ve tried it again since then with little results. I had the power up the other night, but no extra craft like the first time. It’s been very cloudy here, and I will retry and use the recorder and let you know if this works again. Thanks to Robert Mackey Seward Alaska.

Arkansas Light

West Helena – On September 9, 2012, I was watching these bright white star-like illuminations in the eastern sky for several months. These occur at early morning 2 to 3 AM, and always in the same location. Two and sometimes three lights would come blinking together. The others would shoot off like a bullet to the south. Tonight was incredibly strange when four of them joined the stationary one that is seen every night and moved in and out around it. The four bright white star-like objects pulled away in opposite directions finally becoming a half moon shaped stationary glowing apparition.

Note: If these lights are being seen every night, then they probably can be explained as celestial phenomena (meteors, bright stars, planets, etc). Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Arizona Pulsating Light

Buckeye -- My two boys and I were playing football at our park on September 1, 2012, and noticed a hovering sphere. It resembled a weather balloon, but ten minutes later it flew towards the west. We continued throwing the football and then noticed that the sphere looked more like a "balloon that has just popped." Just then a ball of light circled the object.  Finally the first object became a ball of light similar to the one it let out. Now both objects resembled two distant stars that gradually got further and further away. Thanks to MUFON CMS

KINGMAN – On September 6, 2012, I woke up in the morning and went outside to see a very bright cigar shaped object flying very fast. I ran in to get my camera and started to film. I was very shaky and tried to zoom in and then out to try to get the hill for reference. When I went to try to stabilize the camera, it was gone.

California Object

Acworth -- On my com mute home, I saw this strange object flying toward me on September 7, 2012. At first I thought it might be a flock of geese, but it was a single object made of joined balls with a shifting rough "v" shaped tube shape.

The top of the "v" always faced upwards at different angles. I stopped my truck to better view the object as it silently "flew" north in gentle arcs. I took several I-phone photos which show the "v" shape, but little else as it flew out of sight, Thanks to MUFON CMS

Connecticut White Streak

STANFORD -- On September 6, 2012, I was just coming home with my husband and son around 7:30 pm, as the sun was setting. I noticed a bright Chemtrail, but realized the line wasn’t getting any longer. When it didn’t get any bigger I realized this was a craft so I ran inside to get my camera. When I ran back out it had moved farther away. At first, it was a foot long, and right after I took the picture I saw it fade out. We all knew it was a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Delaware Circles

 REHOBOTH BEACH -- We were walking on the beach on August 23, 2012, when we looked up to see two large bright orange/yellow spheres unlike anything we had ever seen. They hovered over the coastline for a few minutes then one began to ascend, fairly slowly. The circle got smaller until it looked like a pinhead. Then the second circle did the same thing. The discs hovered and then ascended straight up and out of sight. I felt confident that the there was no logical explanation for the sighting except a UFO.

Pooler -- Denise Galindo writes, “I have spoken to my brother and he would rather use me as a middle person because he is uncomfortable about coming forward just yet.” His cat had awakened him and he felt compelled to go outside and he saw an object which looked like a ball of sun and got his camera which had a full charge and took the pictures and short videos on August 25. 2012 at 4:15 - 4:30 AM... He said, “His battery died when the object was making very sharp and quick moves.” Thank you Denise Galindo

Illinois Strange Light

BURR RIDGE -- At around 3:50 AM on, August 26, 2012, I noticed a strange object in the night sky. I was looking through a sky light and noticed a small light moving north across the sky. It then stopped and started to descend and lined itself up between two stars. It had a triangular form with three lights. I enlarged it on my TV set and it looked like some kind of ship with three large dark circles under it emitting light. I guess we are not alone in the universe as it seems that someone is watching us! 

NOTE: The above image was submitted by the witness.

 Thanks to Ken Pfeifer WWW.MUFONNJNEWS.COM

Oak Forest -- On September 3, 2012, looking northeast from the Food for Less Parking Lot I saw round light orange objects. There were six to nine of them floating and disappearing. My wife took this picture and when she looked at the cell phone there appeared to be another object next to it with three dim lights to the right of the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maryland Dark Objects

West Baltimore – On September 9, 2012, at 7:30 pm, I was standing on the roof of a parking garage photographing a beautiful sunset. I turned toward the northeast, and saw ten nebulous black objects without wings floating very slowly north. I watched the objects fly across downtown at 750 feet. They were about 40 feet apart in elevation, whilst ascending. An eleventh object followed. I also made a report to the Baltimore Sun. Thanks to MUFON CMS

On September 9, 2012, I was watching a lot of airplane and helicopter activity from my balcony, and commenting to my daughter that there are a lot of planes out tonight. Then an object passed in front of me. I didn’t realize what I was seeing at first, but as it got closer I noticed the strange blinking red light on bottom, I grabbed my camera and caught this video as it was moving away from me. It was pretty big and totally silent with a black triangle shape with three white solid lights on each corner. It had a blinking red light on the bottom center. It continued to travel straight and out of sight, but I couldn’t bend far enough over balcony to film it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Triangle

Springfield -- On September 6, 2012, around 3 am, my five year old son woke me up and said he was scared because he heard a "loud airplane". So he climbed in bed with us. About 4:45 am, I woke up for work and noticed in the east a large blinking star-like object. It had pulsating light with a triangle shape when it was closest to me. I noticed that it was actually moving, but very slowly. Sometimes it would move slightly in a southerly direction and then back to its apparent path east and away from my location.

I thought it was an airplane when an orb appeared above it. It would blink once or twice randomly, and then the light would go out and work its way around it. The entire event lasted about 30 minutes before the objects disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Black Ball Shaped Craft

Earle Naval Ammunition Depot -- While in the military I lived on a farm in Colts Neck in the summer 1959 at the time of the sighting. This farm now is part of the Monmouth County Parks System and it is known as Dorbrook Farm. This farm was also the sight of a recent crop circle as chronicled by the Asbury Park Press. The sighting involved a daylight silver sphere with blinking red and white lights engulfing the sphere in no discernible pattern. The sphere followed the Normand Navy Road from Leonardo to the main Colts Neck storage facilities and disappeared. Thanks to

Surf City – Three of us were sitting overlooking the bay when three red or orange three objects gained altitude slowly at 9:15 PM on September 1, at our vacation home. Two flew one above the other with one following. Similar objects were observed on August 8, 2012, in Surf City Later, I see a strange orangish colored sphere floating through the sky, we just watched as they flew right over us and into the cloud cover. They were flying from east to west against the normal wind flow and did not appear to be Chinese Lanterns. It flew  good rate of speed. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Stone Harbor -- I was relaxing after a day at the beach on August 28, 2012, sitting on my deck enjoying the view as the sun was near setting. As I was looking in the southwestern sky, over the Mainland, I noticed an object that I nearly dismissed as a plane. The orange-ish glow emanating from the craft reminded me of a sighting I had a year earlier. It moved like a normal aircraft, but as I focused on it, I realized it was unusually "black". It appeared to have a flame-like propellant that eventually disappeared. The dot of black remained visible in the sky until it disappeared. Within a minute, my husband joined me and I excitedly told him about what I saw and almost immediately saw another craft on the same flight pattern. He went inside to get our binoculars. I asked him to describe what he was seeing, and he described the same flame and black circle. It appeared to be moving away, on an angle and the flame disappeared again. He could see the black shape as it changed from being solid and circular to "stretched out sideways and up and down. After it "morphed" a few times, it simply disappeared. No other foreign objects were seen after that, but a lot of normal air traffic, easily identified by their flashing lights etc. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Mexico Sightings

Roswell -- Both my sighting and my husband’s were right above our home. Mine was on August 9th 2012 at 10:28 pm, while my husband's was four nights later on August 13, 2012 at 9:35 pm. We saw a massive object with a wide v-shape or boomerang with lights in the front. It was somewhat transparent with a black outline. After my husband saw it and ran in to tell me, we heard allot of noise from a fleet of six plus fighter jets in pursuit of the craft. It disappeared to the northwest. Thanks to Tasha Olive

Ohio Fireball

On September 3, 2012, at around 9:30 PM, my wife and I were on our way to return some movies, and I looked for the moon and saw a glowing ball with what looks like fire around it. I asked my wife, “What the heck is that?” She seemed a little surprised and said, “It looks like a Chinese lantern.” But it was moving silently as fast as an air plane against the wind. From what seemed like about 300 or so feet high above us it came moving fast over heading northwest toward Canton, Ohio. We continued to watch it as it climbed higher and went above the clouds. I was quick enough to take a quick picture with my cell phone. When I in zoom it looks like a giant ball of fire. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Lights

Greensburg – Allison Kruse writes, “We have had separate sightings filmed in 3 months in 3 different places since third report filed with /MUFON on August 20, 2012, in Westmoreland Co.” Two were daytime sightings and one of many sightings of "orange UFOs." These can be any color, size, luminosity they choose and morph shape to various crafts like triangles.

This group -- whoever they are -- prefers to use visual DECEPTION to mess with our perception of what we're looking at. I assume it's so we stay confused enough to not act upon their presence. Why have lights at all?  Thanks to Allison Kruse

South Carolina Lights

North Myrtle Beach -- Amazing footage was shot by Joe Kiernan at around 8 pm, on August 28, 2012, of what looks to be a Mothership hiding in the clouds! Also notice the small object disappear as it zooms underneath the unusual lights. Thanks to Thirdphaseofmoon via Skype! To watch

Washington Red Light Chase

Washougal -- On September 6, 2012, I was walking between buildings at work enjoying the night sky, about 8:50 PM, and noticed three orange lights that I first thought were airplanes. As I watched, I noted about 20 - 30 lights moving slowly south in a band about two degrees wide that took about three minutes to pass. As they moved south over the Columbia River, all the lights slowly went out. They were in a controlled, level pattern with variations in relationship, so I am certain they were not one large craft.

There were too many to closely observe all of them, although I did see most of them slowly fade out. These should have been in radar range of Portland International Airport (PDX).

Vancouver – On September 6, 2012, my whole family ran outside when we heard a loud helicopter flying by that was chasing a very small solid red light. The light was right off the nose too close to be another helicopter. It might have been a drone or something but this wasn’t normal at all. When I first spotted the objects they weren’t that close together. They also made an ‘S’ type flight path, like the light was trying to shake the helicopter off its tail. But by the end of the sighting the light looked like it was right in the pilot’s faces. It happened so low and fast I almost didn’t get out of the house on time. I’m near Portland International Airport, so everyone there in the tower should have seen it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide Sightings

Australia Object

Pelican, Newcastle -- I was at home and looked up at the sky to see if there was any clouds in the sky as the wind had suddenly stopped on August 17, 2012. I was looking in the same direction as we saw the object the night before only tonight it was closer to my house. I first saw it at 6.30 pm and I’m still watching it now. It’s moved slightly from where it was and appears to be hovering at the moment. I can see the shape more now you can see the outline better and the lights change less frequently the object looks as though it’s waiting for something. It’s very strange. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Belgium Discs

Jette -- I was watching by the window on August 28, 2012, and saw to the west five flying discs, in a triangular formation. The three behind were completely white, and the two in the front were red glowing lava balls, that were hot like metal in fusion. I was so stressed I called my friend Alex, to tell him what I was watching. They flew very slowly, like they want to be seen. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Sphere

Cambridge -- On September 6, 2012, at 11:45 PM, my boyfriend and I woke up abruptly and I noticed a glowing dumbbell sphere shaped object hovering 150 feet southeast of my window. I noticed the object because it was a glowing ball shining 100 to 200 feet up outside my window... I was trying to figure out some logical reason as to why it was there. There are no weather balloons or street lights in this area. When something unexplainable appears outside your window, it is a shocking event and I was afraid and confused... I tried to wake up my boyfriend by shaking him, but he was in a very deep sleep and would not wake up which made the situation weirder because he usually wakes up easily. I lost sight of the object after I tried to dismiss the object by trying to go back to sleep. As I fell asleep I began to have vivid dreams. I am positive this was not something ordinary. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Poland Disc

Gniezno – On August 13, 2012, a UFO object was visible only after being photographed. I did it accidentally, trying to capture the image of a plane.

 I took photo while driving in a van. Plane managed to hide behind the building. but an object is visible in the picture. I did not see the object when I to photographed the pictures.

Thanks to Leszek Czak and MUFON CMS

Ukraine Disc

 Kyiv/ Kiev -- The actual UFO was never actually seen or heard by me, however it was captured by my camera, a Nikon d3100, on May 17, 2012.

I currently live in Toledo, Ohio, but in May of 2012.  I was visiting my hometown of Kyiv, Ukraine and tested how well the camera would capture images at night. I pointed the camera at the buildings across the street at 9:34 PM, and  took a few photos. The next morning, upon closer examination of my pictures we spotted the fine quality disk.

In some of my photos, there were people outside, next to the building over which the object hovered. The people obviously did not see or hear the craft either.

Over the next few days, I took more photos, but captured nothing until the night of May 21, 2012, from 11:10 pm until 11:17 pm, I captured a disk that seemed to hover and move up and down over the building across the street. I could see it with my own eyes.

Then, as the photographic evidence became more conclusive, I became frightened, and was afraid to take any more photos. I have 37 photos of the disc UFO, and each is date and time stamped. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Chevron

Nottingham -- V shaped dim lights were moving west in night sky on August 18, 2012, just below Big Dipper, The lights faded out as they turned east. The lights were dim white and did not resemble aircraft. They looked like geese flying in formation but in complete darkness. I have never seen anything like this and I am not a believer in UFOs.

Amazon describes the book as: “The authentic discovery of extraterrestrial life would usher in a scientific revolution on par with Copernicus or Darwin, says Paul Davies. Just as these ideas sparked religious and philosophical controversy when they were first offered, so would proof of life arising away from Earth.”

Texas Abduction

CEDAR POINT – I went to bed on August 21, 2012, when my television went off by itself and I started hearing noises like a humming sound. The first time I noticed anything was around 11:12 PM, when my bedroom door opened and I could hear someone walking and standing beside me and of course I had my eyes closed and heard, "Don’t be afraid, we no harm.” I started to freak out and opened my eyes and I could barely see two dark figures, one standing beside me on my right and the second in front of me. I could feel being lifted up and being brought out back where I could see a small oval shaped craft in my backyard and another triangle craft hovering right above it just few feet higher. 

I thought the object was an actual dark grey UFO, an oval with ten windows on the front of it. The second triangle craft was black with small diamond shaped windows around it.

The oval craft landed and the triangle craft hovered right above it. 

I could feel something for sure and I was terrified. Once I was aboard the oval craft the only thing on my mind was, "How was I going to get out or am I ever going to be released." Once I was aboard the craft I was placed on a silver table while about three beings came by me looking at me then talking. I have no idea what they were saying. Then one of the aliens came next to me and showed me this blue light then I blacked out. I guess I was out for about twenty minutes because I awoke on the table while one of the aliens took my hand and had me step off the table and walk around. I looked around the craft and it was just walls and rooms and windows. The apparent leader of the aliens came beside me and showed me off the craft. And said, "Were sorry we terrified you. These are my students for a complete experiment. We will be back soon so do not panic." I stepped inside my home and looked back outside while the leader walked back inside the craft and took off in less than 15 seconds.

Note- The picture is my drawing of the alien who took me aboard the craft. The second picture I found to be looking like the exact leader of the aliens who I saw.-Thanks to MUFON CMS

Rosa Santizo a UNIFA Partner in Argentina writes, “The study of the pyramids, built in the distant past for many people living in different areas of the Earth, is interesting not only in regard to the architectural, but also to understand their uses, their religious beliefs and world view.” The most famous pyramids are certainly Egyptian, especially those of the plain of Giza. However, in the world there are several ancient cultures that built pyramids, for example, China's Xi ' An, the Peruvians at Caral and Tucume, and the Mayan Tikal, Uxmal, Palenque and the famous pyramids of the Sun and Moon at Teotihuacan.

Strangely, the pyramid of Cholula which is the largest in the world, is almost ignored. Although the Great Pyramid of Cholula is bigger in volume than its Egyptian competitors, the Great Pyramid of Giza is 138.8 m [455 feet] high while Cholula goes up to a mere 66 m [217 feet].

The pyramid has a square of 400 meters, (1,300 feet) and is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid in the New World. Its volume is about 4,450,000 meters cubic. For comparison, the pyramid of Khufu has a volume of "only" 2,500,000 cubic meters.

The pyramid of Cholula is actually the result of six different constructions overlapping in the course of centuries. According to recent studies on site, construction began in the Preclassic period (1800 BC-200 AD), at the time of the Olmecs.

 John Lenard Walson an amateur astronomer has photos of a series of UFO Fleet Starships filmed on his telescope.  We can assume our satellites are also picking up similar space ships orbiting Earth.

The US is under serious draught conditions throughout the Middle West and a similar drought in Syria over the last several years as created a mass migration of 1.5 million people from farms to urban centers. Assad’s regime’s has largely ignored water issues and helping the plight of farmers many who lost their farms. The mass movement of people to the cities created a great strain on the cities bringing about general dissatisfaction.

Dr. Steven Greer has teamed up with Emmy Award winning filmmaker Amardeep Kaleka to shoot a new film. Part of the film will be shot in Washington DC in September. Yesterday I drove almost five hours each way to Washington DC in heavy rains to participate in the filming with Dr. Ted Loder and Steven Greer MD.  This film will include amazing witnesses to the UFO secrecy and explain the connection to Free Energy.

"We will be in LA September 16 for a presentation that I will be making at the Broad Street Theater which will be a comprehensive presentation on Disclosure, Contact and New Energy that will be filmed. This presentation will be the thread that pulls the Sirius movie together. You are ALL invited to attend!

Sightings in the United States  

LOS ANGELES -- I was at home on August 28, 2012, and I noticed an orange light in the distance in the window. Normally there are helicopters in the area but this light did not move and seemed to glow brightly. I saw it hovering and grabbed my camera, ran to the terrace and started taking pictures. The object had three points like three balls fused together with erratic movements, going up and down, and flying really high. It started to shimmer like an orange comet, but suddenly transformed into an elongated DNA helix type shape, with millions of pinprick lights.

  BRAWLEY -- My family and I were driving into town at about 9 pm on August 30, 2012. We were stopped at an intersection facing north when we noticed the objects. Objects looked like fireworks that split into two separate pieces on top of each other (like small balls of light). They would disappear and then come back as if they were rotating around something. The first one appeared in the east and then another appeared in the north. As I was looking at the one in the north the one in the east shot up behind a cloud and illuminated the cloud, but left a sparkle trail behind it. It stayed behind the cloud for a bit and then disappeared. My wife and two children witnessed the event with me. My wife and I were very excited (my children were very scared) to see the objects as there have been recent sightings in a town an hour east of here. Thanks to MUFON CMS

This is not a hoax; please take this seriously as I’m a firm Believer. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

 Sideling Hill – On August 29, 2012, at 9:38 AM, the witness took this photo with an IPhone 4S. The object in the photo could be an out-of-focus insect?

Missouri Lights

The maneuvers were not possibly achievable by fixed wing aircraft. The light was definitely too big for a traditional aircraft marker light and pulsating. Part of the time, a red light was visible. The object was absolutely playing around or exercising or practicing or training. It was too bright for a normal aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Columbiana -- The witness called and reported his sighting about an hour after the fact on August 25, 2012, on 9 PM. He and his wife were driving southwest on Highway 164 near, Ohio. They noticed several cars pulled over and were viewing the sky. They saw at least 20 red saucer shaped objects with orange around the perimeters. The objects were flying in unison towards the east. We drove down the road and saw several more similar objects. We drove right under the objects, and witnesses snapped some photos with her cell phone.

 Beaverton -- On August 23, 2012, at 7:50 am , I left work traveling west and stopped at a stop light at Farmington Road and SW Hall Boule vard. I noticed a small object in the sky to the west. It was slightly elongated vertically. It did seem to have a slight bell shape in upper left of the photo. It was dull silver-gray and I grabbed my cell phone and was able to take pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

MELBOURNE – Ash Austin reports he captured three UFOs this night. Exopolitics Australia

Yet I was able to capture three pictures. Two pictures have the object on film near the moon. This trend just continues to be observed at night of presence here between dusk until 12:30 AM. I will continue to keep an eye out for further sightings during the early evenings here.

LONDON -- There was one black/grey, curved-triangular shaped vehicle in the sky. It was going around 4x faster than your average airplane on August `9, 2012. It had two white lights either horizontally and two smaller ones in the middle, vertically.

It's a very dark night (it was 2:09am) and was neither 100% not a plane nor star, I am 100% confident this was in fact a UFO sighting. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take a photo, but this is exactly the same as what I saw: Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

What to read past issues? View Filer's Files Archives

In special reports, this weeks files cover: Astronaut Armstrong Dies, Edgar Mitchell Interview, Mars Curiosity Lands near Tube, Eisenhower Likely Met with ET, President Eisenhower Doodled UFOs, US Power Grid Is Vulnerable, First Recorded UFO Sighting in US, and Hypersonic X-51A Wave Rider.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

The First Man to Walk on the Moon Astronaut Armstrong Dies

Only 12 humans have walked on the moon and Neil Armstrong was the first. Neil Armstrong was a soft-spoken engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made "one giant leap for mankind" with a small step onto the moon. The modest man who credited others for the feat, died Saturday, from complications resulting from a cardiovascular bypass operation. He was 82. Armstrong

During the Apollo 11 moon landing, there was a two minute period of radio silence. Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin saw something else watching them! According to Timothy Good, author of Above Top Secret.

"HAM radio operators receiving the VHF signals transmitted from Apollo 11 to NASAs Houston headquarters, intercepted the following message which NASA screened from the public in the missing two minutes:

Mission Control: Whats there ? Mission Control calling Apollo 11.Apollo 11:These babies are huge, sir enormous.Oh, God, you wouldnt believe it! Im telling you there are other space craft out there lined up on the far side of the crater edge theyre on the moon watching us. (Above Top Secret, p. 384.)

Edgar Mitchell Interview

Edgar Mitchell was the Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 14

Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.

Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.

Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency that had had contact with aliens described the beings as little people who look strange to us.

He said supposedly real-life ETs were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head. Chillingly, he claimed our technology is not nearly as sophisticated as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned we would be been gone by now.

Dr Mitchell, along with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.

I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real, Dr Mitchell said.

It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly its leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.

I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, its been happening quite a bit.

Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated.

He told the astonished Kerrang radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think were headed for real disclosure and some serious organizations are moving in that direction.

Mars Curiosity Lands near Tube

-

Subject: Dr. Richard Buchli D.V.M. Ph.D. write, "An 150 foot wide tube -less than a mile from Curiosity Land Rover."

The $2.5 billion robotic explorer, the centerpiece of the Mars Science Laboratory mission, landed on the Red Planet August 5, beginning a two-year trek around Mars' Gale Crater. Curiosity probably doesn't have smarts to find Mars signs of life. Curiosity could find organics, but a new set of instruments are likely needed to find 'biomarkers'. Fortunately macrobiotic life was found by both Viking Landers in 1976.

Mars Life and Roads

I found "Filer's Files #33" concerning Mars to be extremely interesting. However, not for any reason you might think. This deals with the photographs of those supposed Martian ROADS, BRIDGES , ETC. I seriously doubt that what we are seeing in those photographs are ROADS, BRIDGES,ETC.

  Don't get me wrong, I am now CERTAIN there IS or WAS LIFE ON MARS. I believe what we're seeing in that photograph is nothing less than a FUNGAL COLONY. As you know, fungal growth of the mycelium ( root like structures ) has no set pattern; the mycelium grow in ALL directions, even growing OVER and UNDER other MYCELIUM which IS what I believe you and I are seeing in these series of photographs.

  Now, in case you aren't aware of this, the largest living things on this planet of ours are two or three FUNGI that are the size of cities and in one instance, the size of a county !!

  OK, are you with me so far ?? Well, now just ask yourself how big the mycelium and the fungus could be if grown on a planet with Mars' gravity? IE: A reduction in gravity could mean an enlargement in size. An increase in gravity would probably mean a reduction in size for certain obvious reasons.

Me personally, I would NOT remove my environment suit while on Mars! --- Thanks to J.T. Davenport ---

Editors Note: The living body of the fungus is a mycelium made out of a web of tiny filaments called hyphae. The mycelium is usually hidden in the soil, in wood, or another food source. These white road like objects are about 150 feet wide and miles long. Its obvious something unusual is shown in the NASA/JPL photos

I was viewing the landing panorama from the Curiosity Mars Rover at this location
I observed rock formations out of curiosity and came across what looks like a human skull

Eisenhower Likely Met with ET

Hon. Henry W. McElroy, Jr. speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrK2YgfjnHo

Hello, Im speaking with you from Fort Monroe, Virginia.  Were also known as The Gateway to Freedom. We sit right next to a little town called Phoebus, Virginia.  Interestingly, they call themselves The Gateway to the New World. Phoebus sits inside of Hampton, Virginia whose motto is First from the Sea, First to the Stars.

My name is Henry McElroy, Jr. a retiring, former State Representative from New Hampshire.  Thank you for your attention to this brief message concerning the worlds interaction with both earth-based, and off-world astronauts.

The reason I am making this announcement is in the hopes of encouraging better perspective to all who explore the universe.  Therefore, as a result, making a more valuable contribution to humanity, for the benefit of all faiths, all races and all nations.

Another reason I am here today is because I believe in the *foundational wisdom of our nation, which was laid down by our founding fathers and because we know that highly advanced knowledge and information can assist human beings in solving various problems both in current times, and in our future.

When I was in the New Hampshire State Legislature, I served on the State Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee.  It was, apparently, important that as a Representative of the Sovereign People who had elected me to this Honorable Office, that I be updated on a large number of topics related to the affairs of our People, and our Nation. As I understood it, some of those ongoing topics had been examined and categorized as Federal, State, Local development, and security matters.  These documents related to various topics some of which spanned decades of our nations history. One of those recurring topics is the reason I am addressing you this evening.

I would like to submit to our nation my personal testimony of one document related to one of these ongoing topics which I saw while in office, serving on the State Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee.

The document I saw was an official brief to President Eisenhower. To the best of my memory this brief was pervaded with a sense of hope, and it informed President Eisenhower of the continued presence of extraterrestrial beings here in the United States of America.

The brief seemed to indicate that a meeting between the President and some of these visitors could be arranged as appropriate if desired.

The tone of the brief indicated to me that there was no need for concern, since these visitors were in no way, causing any harm, or had any intentions, whatsoever, of causing any disruption then, or in the future.

While I cant verify the times or places or that any meeting or meetings occurred directly between Eisenhower and these visitors - because of his optimism in his farewell address in 1961, I personally believe that Eisenhower did, indeed, meet with these extraterrestrial, off world astronauts.

I hope my personal testimony will aid the nation in its quest for continued enlightenment. I am honored to follow in the footsteps of those who have come forward with their personal testimonies those who deserve the admiration of the American people for sharing their accounts publicly, in an effort to elevate our knowledge to a higher understanding of our existence. Thanks to Honorable Henry W. McElroy, Jr

Editors Note: According to researcher Art Campbell, President Eisenhower met with alien visitors at Holloman Air Force Base, NM in February 1955.

Eisenhower Frequently Made Doodles of UFOs

During Presidential meetings Eisenhower often sketched pictures of UFOs.

I took this photo of his White House Agenda at the Presidential Eisenhower Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas.

According to Ted Loder an aid was charged with picking up and destroying the doodle evidence.

This wrinkled Cabinet Agenda dated December 15, 1953, with Triangle shaped UFOs was put on display in the Eisenhower Museum and I was able to photograph it.

First Ground-Based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) system site operational

Peterson AFB, Colo. -- As Air Force Space Command approaches its 30th Anniversary on 1 September, an new Ground-Based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance facility in Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory has gone operational. It is one of three operational sites worldwide. The facility tracks known man made deep space objects in orbit around Earth. (U.S. Air Force photo..

On 30 July 1982, the first Ground-Based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) system site was operational in Socorro, N.M. The system was developed to detect, track, and identify all tasked space objects within its area of coverage. GEODSS performs its mission using a telescope, low-light-level television cameras, and computers. The telescopes are able to "see" objects 10,000 times dimmer than the human eye can detect. This sensitivity allows the system to only operate at night and provide data on deep space objects in orbit from 3,000 to 22,000 miles.

GEODSS is a vital part of USSTRATCOM's Space Surveillance Network and the Air Force Space Surveillance System (AFSSS), also known as the "space fence". The Network is tasked to provide space object cataloging and identification, satellite attack warning, timely notification to U.S. forces of satellite fly-over, space treaty monitoring and scientific and technical intelligence gathering.

Editors Note: This system is also capable of tracking UFOs which are known as uncorrelated targets or Fastwalkers. Meaning they are not objects correlated in the data base as known flying objects or debris. I have been told by Air Force personnel that several uncorrelated targets are tracked entering and leaving Earth each week.

US Power Grid Is Vulnerable

National security officials claim the U.S. power grid is vulnerable to disruption by electro-magnetic pulses (EMP) from the sun, hackers and computer viruses, digital espionage by China and other countries. Lawmakers have failed to reach consensus amid warnings by experts that the US power grid is vulnerable. The administration made a final push for the Senate legislation, which it says is necessary to protect the nation from a potentially catastrophic cyber attack.

In August 2003, a series of UFO reports in Ohio were followed by a blackout that left 50 million people in the dark for as long as four days in Canada and the Northe ast US. The blackout provides a glimpse of the havoc a cyber attack could inflict on the nations power grid. The 2003 event was triggered when a power line allegedly touched tree branches in Ohio, and caused losses of $10 billion dollars. Interestingly UFO were photographed in the same area.

Internet-based terrorists or electro-magnetic pulses could be capable of causing blackouts "from nine to 18 months" by disabling critical systems such as transformers, said Joe Weiss, managing director of Applied Control Solutions LLC, a Cupertino, California-based security consulting company.

The sun is entering a cycle of increased sun flare activity and huge flares impacted Earth on March 8-10, and July 12, 2012. was considered one of the largest solar events in years even though its impact on the power grid and communications was minimal due to the angle it hit Earth.

The upper atmosphere was measured by NASA's SABER (Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry) instrument orbiting on a satellite. The upper atmosphere heated up, and huge spikes occurred in infrared emission from nitric oxide and carbon dioxide, said Marty Mlynczak, SABER's associate-principal investigator at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. These flares were considered some of the largest solar events in years even though its impact on the power grid and communications was minimal due to the angle it hit Earth.Through the rest of this year and next, the suns X-flares are expected to explode toward their maximum.

The Sun could also send destructive electro-magnetic pulses (EMP) that could have devastating impact on the electrical grid and satellites. It is probably a good time to store up extra food and water just in case. The world is not ending but there might be some rough times ahead.
The Suns increased activity not only affects the atmosphere, but will likely bring more wars and revolution. There appears to be correlation between solar activity and psychotic outbreaks of mass insanity on Earth.
Utilities have become more exposed to hackers and cyber terrorists as they replace older equipment with digital devices and the electrical grid becomes more interconnected. Energy companies have to increase their investment in computer security more than seven-fold to reach an ideal level of protection. Thanks to NASA

First Recorded UFO Sighting in U.S.

In March 1639, America's first recorded UFO was sighted late one night over the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. Lights sped back and forth across the Charles River from Back Bay Fens to Charlestown. Governor John Winthrop made an entry in his journal regarding this strange event. This account was later published in The Journal of John Winthrop, 1630-1649 (John Harvard Library) The witness and incident were described as follows:

"One night in March of 1638 or 1639, James and two companions boarded a little boat and set out for a trip on the Muddy River in Boston. The three men were moving downstream for about a mile when a huge bright light hovering in the sky. The light "flamed up" as it hovered and appeared to be about "three yards square." As they watched, the light "contracted into the figure of a swine" and moved "swift as an arrow" in the direction of Charlton [Charlestown]. For two or three hours, the unidentified light moved back and forth in the sky between Everell's location and Charlton. When the light finally disappeared, the men noticed to their dismay that they had somehow been carried against the tide back to the place where they had started their trip! Governor Winthrop noted, "Divers and other credible persons saw the same light!"

Governor Winthrop appears to have been puzzled by the occurrence, devoting no less than two separate notes about it in the index to his history. The first merely gives a lengthy rendering of the sobriety and piety of the primary witness James Everell ("a good man of reputation, activity and good estate") and another detailed note speculating whether the sighting was due to "demonic influences" or was ghost lights.

The witness also claims that their small boat was pushed back against the tide about one mile that could be a "lost time" phenomena? NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org.

The Hypersonic X-51A Waverider

The hypersonic X-51A WaveRider belongs to the US military and uses a revolutionary scramjet engine to reach 4,500 mph within seconds.

The X-51A Waverider is designed to ride on its own shockwave, accelerating to about Mach 6 . This Thunderbirds-style aircraft could be the future of long-haul flights.

A trip across the Atlantic from London to New York would take the plane just one hour, travelling at five times the speed of sound. The craft is dropped from a B52 bomber over the Pacific Ocean in its latest test.

It will be flown from Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert in California, attached to the bombers wing.

HOW IT WORKS

Scramjets are 'air breathing' aircraft because rather than carrying both fuel and the oxygen needed to provide acceleration, they carry only hydrogen fuel and 'pull' the oxygen needed to burn it from the atmosphere.

Air is forced into the front of the engine and as hydrogen is injected into the airstream, the gases are compressed causing the temperature to rise and ignition to occur. This generates huge amounts of thrust and enables the jet to travel at speeds far in excess of the 1,350mph top speed of Concorde.

The jet will then be dropped from almost 50,000 feet near the Point Mugu promontory. A rocket booster will ignite and speed it up to about Mach 4.5 and, if all goes well, the aircrafts engine will take over from there, pushing the speed to more than Mach 6 and lifting the craft to 70,000 feet.

The mission will last 300 seconds the longest the craft has ever flown to date. After the historic test, the plane will crash into the sea, and there are no plans to recover it.

Hypersonic flight which relates to speeds of more than five times the speed of sound is seen as the next step for aircraft. Attaining sustained hypersonic flight is like going from propeller-driven aircraft to jet aircraft, according to Robert Mercier, Air Force Research Laboratory. Hypersonic flight is a potential frontier for aeronautics. "

The project is being funded by NASA and the Pentagon.

 UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Pulsating Light

Buckey I walked outside at 4:58 am on August 28, 2012, and looked to the SE and saw an object high in the sky. It was stationary and pulsating with the different colors. My wife and I observed the object until 5:07 am. For 45 minutes it could be observed by the naked eye, but as the sun rose the object maintained a pulsating action. I'm not sure if it was the brightness of the sun or it moved away, but couldn't find it after 5:07 am. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Lights

Windsor On August 10, 2012, I saw lights colored red, blue and green. The

motion of the lights was fast and they were going in a circle.

Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Vacaville -- I have been filming the last two weeks and this is just one of the many photos I have. This photo was on taken on the August 24, 2012, about 7 AM. I have four hours of video clips, taken with my phone cam from August 9th to date. I saw groups of four to ten at a time.

Note: Little is known about the photos sent by the witness. Even the date of the sighting is not known for sure. Analysis indicates that the photos have been edited..

Thanks to William Puckett, Director http://www.UFOsnw.com

Florida Disc

Treasure Island -- We attend a drum circle most Sunday nights and my husband was "tagged" in some photos on Facebook. In two of the photos on August 19, 2012, you can clearly see what appears to be an object in the sky-maybe 300 feet? If you zoom in, it is amazingly clear. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Lights

HUDSON -- I was out photographing some strangely lit clouds to the west on August 15, 2012. I

I took a couple of long exposure pictures of the new wind turbines with lights in the background. I'm scanning the eastern sky at just before 9:30 pm, and see a white solid light real close to the horizon.

I see lights on approach to the local airfield six miles away that vanish lower into the corn field. Barely visible they began moving south again and slowly fade. It reappears higher in the sky, sits there, vanishes, reappears and maneuvers behind the corn stalks. Then it pops straight up, and sits there when I got this photo. Thanks to MUFON CMS

FISHERS --At 6 am on August 25, 2012, I was star gazing, and saw southeast of us a star pulsating white, red and green lights. We had gotten up to let the dogs out. I grabbed my camera and could see the colors more vividly using it. I reviewed my pictures on my computer you can see the different colors. The object was finally lost to cloud cover. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Lights

Totz -- Looking up on August 28, 2012, I saw a white, star-like object moving very quickly in the sky. It was a solid bright point of light while around it was four other slow-moving objects that had the red/green flasher of common aircraft.
After the point of light disappeared the other four craft stayed in the area for ten minutes of slow maneuvering before flying off. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Sightings

Brick -- On August 18, 20012, my daughter spotted an object in the sky about 7500 feet on a partly cloudy day floating from the Garden State Parkway around exit 91 towards Route 70, southeast to the ocean below Mantoloking beaches.

It was odd shaped almost the size of two school buses side by side wide, definitely metallic with red and greenish orange coloring possibly from the sun. I started to take video of it but I was shaking and kept on losing sight of it. No wings were visible.

It was not a normal aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Hamilton Square -- I was coming out of Charlie Browns Restaurant on August 24, 2012, with my girlfriend and spotted an object in the sky not leaving a jet trail followed by an object leaving a jet trail. The first object was moving faster than the following object. We live close to McGuire Air Force Base and there are jets in the sky all the time. I tried to take a video with my IPhone but I wasn't able to zoom in before the first object disappeared. Thanks, Scott C.

atsion lake -- On August 16, 2012, my wife, daughter and granddaughter were driving north on Route 206 in Shamong Township at 8:40 pm. We approached Atsion Lake to see three bright lights in triangular form. It banked toward the highway then turned to avoid the road and continued toward us just off the highway at tree top height doing about 45 mph. The lights were so intense we were not to be able to see the objects real shape. That area is very dark with no lighting. The three lights were very bright and pointed down so I realized they were not landing lights. We saw a smaller red blinking light near the center. As it passed us over it was silent. I could not follow it because there are no roads through the forest.

My wife and I over 50 years ago had a sighting in Delran, NJ of four red lights that maneuvered in the sky. Then shot out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Lights

Brook Park On August 18, 2012, I was standing outside my apartment talking on the phone for about 30 minutes when this orb comes over my building. I was with my mother and we knew it was out of place as we live close to the airport.

This was brighter, different color, much lower, much slower than it should be. I quickly ran inside and grabbed my iPad 3 to record a video. About 20 seconds had elapsed from when I first spotted it. The object was redish orange, that almost looked like it was on fire. I called for my girlfriend to come outside and see it as well, which she jokingly asked "is that a plane on fire?" The sighting lasted for about 2 minutes. Its flight path from my point of view was from South East to South / South West. I was able to get 1 video that lasted about 1 minute before I ran out of storage space. I quickly cleared up some more space and shot another 45 seconds or so. The second footage shows the object ascend greatly into the sky, rather quickly too. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Lights

Spring On August 10, 2012, I walked outside to close the garage door and looked up at 11 PM, at a large flashing-pulsating object in the southern sky. I observed planes moving through the sky near the object. The object stayed stationary and was close enough for me to see many brilliant lights flashing from the object. The object was as large as a large passenger plane flying near the object. I notified my neighbors who also saw the object. All of us agreed it was doubtful to be a drone or plane.

The object moved very slowly and I notified the police and an officer came out and also observed the object. He shined his flashlight at the object as well but there was no response. I was able to take some video as the object did not leave the area for nearly two hours. When the object moved south it looked like a large pulsating orb. Thanks to MUFON CMS

MILANO -- This morning at 05:20 AM, on July 14, 2012, I was riding in the front seat as a passenger coming back from a gig in Brazoria, Texas. We were traveling on State highway 36 going northwest just out of Milano. Steve, the driver, and I saw lights on a tower a mile away.

As we got closer, the lights were suspended over the road on a pentagon shaped object with bright center light. The five other lights were located close to the end of each corner. All the lights were white and pulsated once a second. We could see that the dull black object 20-30 feet across with a surface with seams or vents. It hovered 30 feet over the road as we passed underneath. We saw it fade in the rear view mirror as we drove farther away. NOTE: The above image is a rendering by the witness.  Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

Virginia Disc

BRISTOL -- I was driving home on West State about 10:45 PM, on August 21, 2012, and saw a bright object in the sky. I live on the Virginia Tennessee state line but the object was on the Virginia side. As I drove further down the road, the light in the sky got brighter. As I got closer to the light, it seemed to change direction rather easily like a helicopter. I stopped at a traffic light and watched the red light descending, it stopped and just hovered there for a moment and changed direction, and then it stopped again and abruptly changed direction again. I drove rather slow down the road and was literally right underneath it with my head out the window.

It was an oval/disk shaped object that was surrounded by lights flying low and silently. The lights surrounding the object were of a reddish/orange color and the underside was a slightly different color than the night sky.

Traffic got behind me and I had to speed up, and it was quickly gone. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

On August 21, 2012, I was driving down the road and saw a large football field size cigar shaped object. It didnt make a sound. It was cigar shaped came down. I know it was the most life changing experience one could have. PS I got a GREAT PICTURE but big brother might not like me showing it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Orange Lights Over Cruise Ship

Puget Sound/Seattle It was the last night of our eight days Alaska cruise on August 9, 2012, aboard Royal Caribbeans Rhapsody of the Seas. We were sailing from Victoria, BC to Seattle at 11:30 PM. I was sitting with my wife and a friend chatting when all the teenagers jumped up from their seats and lined up the windows, looking out at a craft with bright orange lights hovering over the front of the ship. I ran quickly up to deck 10 and saw a craft with three bright orange lights forming a triangle. Inside the triangle are smaller circulating lights forming a circle. The craft was silent 3 to 6 miles from us, flying between 4,000 to 7,000 feet.

It hovered for ten minutes and I was convinced it wasnt an aircraft. I called my friend in his stateroom and asked him to bring up his Nikon DX camera.

The friend came up to deck 10 ten minutes later and took several photos with his S Nikon 55-200mm lens. Finally, around 1:30 AM the object moved inland after numerous people observed it. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Mcnary Dam and Hydroelectric Power PROJECT. I was outside of Plymouth, on a sandy beach on Washington side of the Columbia River lying on my back watching for shooting stars while my two friends were skinny dipping. I observed a bright light moving very fast coming from the south crossing over the Columbia River. It was faster than any aircraft flying directly over me, and flashed an amber color as I made out a faint triangular shape. The one light flashed to three lights then back to one bright white light. It hovered for ten seconds, then disappeared, and reappeared in a different part of the sky. It flew northwest for 30 seconds and disappeared completely. My podcast stopped playing and my phone was completely dead that I had just charged. 

Editors Note: There are numerous reports of the craft drawing electrical energy from various batteries and power sources such as this hydroelectric dam.

Worldwide Sightings

Canada Lights

Manning Park, B. C. -- I was camping alone, looking for gold, and settled down for the night just outside of a huge area of wilderness. Around 1 AM, I went walking near the Silkameen River where gold was found in the 1880's gold rush. The moon was full when I took pictures at the end of August, 2009. I went back to my campsite and soon went to bed and had strange dreams. Recently, I was looking through my old camping shots, and discovered this strange object hovering in a tree about 200 foot B.C. evergreen. About a dozen circles appeared. It's a clear shot of a stationary craft from another world..

I think wonderful things are going to happen soon, and well know why aliens are so interested in our world. Thanks to Dana Fitzgerald.

Israel Orange to off White Objects.

Tel Mond -- There were between 13 to 16 craft moving around the sky to the south on August 18, 2012 at 11:55 PM. They moved to the east then back south again. We left after about an hour and an half. They still hadn't gone. There was no noise. It was most definitely not Israeli Fighter jets or helicopter's or civil aviation.

Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

New Zealand Object

WINTON, SOUTHLAND -- Went outside to take photo of stars and upon review of photo seen the strange object on August 1, 2012.

I looked up and it was changing direction and going fast. Upon editing of images I made out proper outline and shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Turkey Red Objects

Izmir -- The case was observed in city on August 22, 2012, around 9:00 PM, I was resting on my balcony while watching sea in front of me when I noticed a blinking red star-like object. I thought that it was a scout airplane, since we've got a military airfield nearby. Then I saw two more with less colorful red star-like objects around them almost 60 in number. They carelessly moved in a flock. They're like sheep herd strolling through the sky in large numbers which shocked me. They didn't disappear suddenly but I lost sight of them as they flew away on the horizon.

I witnessed the same sort of the flock on August 17, 1999 in Izmit, Turkey on the night of the big earthquake when 150 thousand people lost their lives. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Lights

MANCHESTER On August 18, 2012, my girlfriend was at home looking out of her window when she saw three stationary blinking red lights. She phoned me tried to rationalize the sighting. There were no stars visible, so whatever she was seeing were not stars. 

I raced 15 miles over to see the lights resembling sparkler fireworks under the objects. A third object came in from the west, and then just stopped in an instant and was stationery over the other two lights. They hovered there for 20 minutes and 'blinked out' in an instant a few moments before I arrived. 

Later, I was driving home when a bright object appeared from the west travelling twice the speed of a jet and much brighter than any aircraft approaching Manchesters busy airport. The object had constant luminosity and was flying low. Half way across the sky we lost sight of it as it faded out. It was three times brighter than anything else in the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

London -- There was one black/grey, curved-triangular shaped vehicle in the sky. It was going around 4 xs faster than your average airplane. It had two white lights either horizontally and two smaller ones in the middle, vertically. It's a very dark night (it was 2:09 am) and was neither 100% not a plane nor a star, I am 100% confident this was in fact a UFO sighting. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com

Scotland Red Lights

I was at home alone, sitting in my room on the computer and saw two blinking red lights in the eastern sky. At first, I assumed they were coming from an aeroplane, but then the lights moved farther apart. I moved to the window to get a better look, and the lights were strips of red light. They were very agile; changing speeds, moving past each other then the light in front would stop and hover for a few moments until the other had reached it. They were changing elevation and direction quickly, and looked as if there were circling each other for a second. I lost sight of the objects as they moved to the northeast. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Uruguay Flying Object

Department of Soriano -- I took a picture from the top of a water tank of an object moving southbound toward Oeste on August 22. 2012. The photo was taken at 6:24 PM, I did not see the object when taking the picture I saw nothing.

The Real Roswell Debris

We’ve always suggested that UFO researchers should be looking at The United States Navy, instead of the Air Force, as the source for useful UFO information.

The Office of Naval Research, which began working with balloons for atmospheric flights in 1946, and created Project Helios which morphed into Skyhook, which produced the balloon sighting that killed Captain Thomas Mantell.

Helios conducted various flights from around the country.

The Air Force’s Project Moby Dick used much of the Navy’s groundbreaking Helios research to send aloft balloons of its own prototypical creation, most in and around Holloman Air Force base in New Mexico.

The actual venue for the balloon research was The Balloon Test Squadron at the Holloman Air Development Center

One of those large, polyethylene balloons came down in Roswell’s backyard in July 1947, providing debris from its gondola payload that Mac Brazel collected, in part, and stored in a shed on the farm where he worked.

Here’s a photo of the gondola-type that Brazel gathered pieces from: 

 

Concentration on the Mogul balloon project has diverted UFO researchers from the Moby Dick balloon crash and recovery.

If researchers altered there obsession with Mogul and concentrated on the Moby Dick flights for the Roswell time-frame, they’d find enough evidence to suggest that the Roswell story is a confluence of balloon mishaps and egregious mythmaking by UFO researchers in 1978 onward.

Project Moby Dick is the backdoor to the Roswell explanation. That it has been overlooked by UFO radicals is intellectually shameful.

From the annals of Britain’s UFO Desk

In May of 2006, at a little past 7 in the evening, an odd thing happened in the English seaside town of Hastings. As a government report put it shortly afterwards: “Two witnesses thought they saw an alien outside their kitchen window.” And that was that. No abductions. No probes. Just a fleetingly interrupted cup of tea.

This Close Encounter of the Brief Kind is among the many UFO-related reports contained in 6,700 pages of documents recently declassified by Britain’s Ministry of Defence, or MoD, the latest batch of 50,000-plus pages that have been made public since 2008. The documents represent three decades of paperwork generated by a branch of the MoD known as DI55—or, informally, the UFO Desk—which was responsible for investigating the hundreds of sightings reported in Britain each year. Before it was disbanded for budget reasons in 2009, after 50 years in existence, the UFO Desk amassed one of the world’s most comprehensive public records of potential alien activity, making it a treasure trove for those who study and theorize about the topic.

Or not.

The United Kingdom’s National Archives, which published the reports on its website, has worked hard to play up the wow factor—publicity material includes mentions of “faceless humanoids,” “alien tourism,” and “Tony Blair.” But if you take the time to go through these papers, it gradually becomes clear that there is very little in the way of genuine intrigue here. The most compelling thing about the documents, in fact, is how profoundly, clerically drab they are—a monumental testament to the power of bureaucracy to suck the life out of the farthest reaches of the universe.

“This was not ‘Men in Black’,” says Nick Pope, a journalist and author who worked the UFO Desk between 1991 and 1994. “We did not have gadgets that could wipe people’s memory after a UFO sighting. Neither was it ‘X-Files.’ There was no creeping around dark warehouses with torches and guns. It was a desk job.” When asked whether it was at least an interesting desk job, Pope laughs. “Erm, ooh,” he says. “Most of the time, no.”

It seems astonishing that one of the most enduring mysteries of modern times should be reduced to a flurry of stolid paperwork, but the British do have a special talent for this sort of thing. And, to be fair, the vast majority of sightings were not exactly Spielbergian. A good many of them, in fact, were just daffy. “Having lived for over 60 years in this area, and have seen many things round and about,” goes a typical query, “I wonder if you can shed any light on the odd movements going on in the skies.”

The UFO Desk had a standard form letter for odd movements in the skies, which explained, in the kind of fraughtly patient tones you might use with a persistent child, that the MoD was only interested in reports containing “evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom,” that not a single UFO report so far had revealed such evidence, that “rational explanations” could be found for the most mysterious sightings, and that the MoD did not have the time, the money, or the inclination to investigate this particular sighting any further. Or, in other words, “Go away.”

Internal memos, meanwhile, tended to be finger-drumming, eye-rolling affairs. Upon hearing from a resident of Peckham, South London, who’d waited two-and-a-half decades to report a “strange event” (“a bright star like object almost directly overhead”) an investigator wrote to his colleagues: “I suspect that as it’s 25 years ago, getting hold of any records would be a trifle difficult.” The investigator eventually sent the man a letter saying: “This may take a little time.” (I could find no trace of further correspondence.)

According to Pope, the real job of the UFO Desk was not to look for evidence of little green men, but to look for evidence of secret terrestrial weaponry. “I had a little joke,” he says. “I’d always say that we were more focused on Moscow than Mars.” Occasionally, the desk guys would get something that had promise, something from a “credible witness” (that is, someone in uniform), something that warranted a further look from the wonks and generals. They’d send it upstairs, then never hear about it again.

If the MoD was interested in getting to the bottom of whether any of the UFOs represented real alien visitations, it didn’t show it. Certainly, the ministry did not heap resources upon the effort. When Pope worked there, the UFO Desk amounted to just that: a desk (“It was me and an admin assistant”). The pay grade for the job was D, just above the tea lady. And still the procurement people sent out ill-tempered memos about money and manpower, the wastefulness of addressing the concerns of a woman who’d seen “a flash from the corner of her eye.”

To make things worse, very often the desk guys agreed. “About 99 percent of the time, what you had was someone reporting lights in the vicinity of an airport, which was clearly a waste of time and money,” Pope says. “There was some frustration, wanting to get Joe Public off your back so you could get down to the more interesting cases. If 99 percent was John Smith seeing aircraft lights and 1 percent was Flight Lieutenant Smith seeing something exotic from the cockpit of his fighter jet, obviously you were more interested in the flight lieutenant.”

Britain, like America, has a small but vocal contingent of conspiracy theorists, those who feel that the government is committed to an elaborate, ongoing scheme to hide the truth about UFOs. These documents, however, do not portray the desk guys as imperious Keepers of the Information; they show men who are every bit as eager for a hit as the theorists are. Further, they often reveal a similar degree of frustration at the lack of progress. “If at any stage in the future [UFOs] are shown to exist, then there is the potential for severe embarrassment,” wrote one disgruntled civil servant. “We can justifiably be asked how we could receive so many reports and ignore them.”

If the desk guys were guilty of anything, it was to succumb to the endless avalanche of frivolous or muddle-headed sightings, which bred a kind of bored detachment. Generally, the notations on the MoD’s standardized reports tend to be extremely terse. In one characteristic example, an object’s color is described as “quite yellow.” In another, it seems the investigator could barely bring himself to lift up his pen. Under the all-important category “Description,” he has written: “Just said UFO.”

You can sympathize with these people. Here they were doing what was supposed to be an important job, and they spent the majority of it poring over phrases like “A space vehicle oval in shape,” “An object that was military shaped,” “A big flying object, looked like a glider,” “Two objects that looked like stars,” “A dot in the sky that did not look like an airplane,” and “I was on my way to the petrol station as I had run out of cigarettes when I noticed the Light in the sky. It started to move in the direction of Hull.”

This final example points to a fundamental, possibly fatal problem for all UFO investigators. In a briefing written shortly before a 1979 House of Lords debate on the subject, an MoD staffer asked why alien life forms would even want to visit an “insignificant planet” circling an “uninteresting star.” This question becomes more pertinent still when alien life forms have journeyed across the void to lurk over the household of a Mrs. Woodward of Bexley Heath.

The irony was not lost on the UFO Desk. “We’d have competitions to see who received the most bizarre and surreal letters,” says Pope. “We’d go to the archives trying to find good ones.” He adds, “People used to write funny comments in the margins, which is a real civil servant thing to do. I remember we had one guy saying he’d observed a UFO through his French windows and someone had written, ‘Snob.’”

The default mood at the desk, however, was grumpy. In 1998, an officer filed a report about a man driving in a car who’d claimed to have seen an ovular object a quarter of a mile in length, with three green windows eight feet apart (think about that). “He’d been drinking but did not sound drunk,” the officer wrote. “He changed his story a couple of times and repeated himself several times.” In response, somebody had pencilled in the margin: “A ‘reliable’ witness? Who ‘filtered’ this?”

The thing that really got the desk guys steaming were the believers, those who saw every bureaucratic shrug as a form of organized obfuscation. One of the more enduring controversies concerned alleged military activity around the site of some crop circles in southwest England, close to a place called Middle Wallop. The theorists had given the incident a name, “Operation Blackbird,” and over nearly two decades launched a barrage of queries and insinuations. In 2006, somebody sent the MoD what they said was video footage of the incident, and somebody on the desk snapped.

“Since the video is allegedly taken in the Wiltshire area, which is home to various military bases, it is entirely possible that individuals did see soldiers skulking in bushes,” an internal memo stated. “The leap that was made to it being part of an operation to study crop circles is probably in line with the logic of UFO buffs who believe that everyone takes their hobby as seriously as they do.”

Occasionally in these documents, you stumble across a moment where politics intrudes on the proceedings—and here the desk was forced to proceed with slightly more delicacy. When a member of Parliament named Bill Cash reported a sighting in 1988—complete with sketches of the “two perfect triangles” he’d seen zipping over his garden—an investigator responded politely that Cash had probably seen airplanes flying into Birmingham Airport, “which was exceptionally busy at the time.”

And the desk kept an eye on what other branches of the military establishment were saying, too. The documents included copies of correspondence between a freelance writer and the editor of RAF News, the magazine for the Royal Air Force. Responding to a story pitch from the writer—a withering rebuttal of a UFO conspiracy theorist—the editor wrote: “This UFOlogist is of course the Earl of Clancart....I feel our political masters would think it improper if the RAF News should be too rude about him.” So, the editor suggested, how about “letting the idiocy of the Earl’s ideas speak for themselves.”

It’s this sort of thing, most likely—the vast tracts of embarrassing detail—that kept the MoD from releasing these files until now. Which, for the UFOlogists, is the worst news of all. There are no secret sites contained in these documents, no brilliant subterfuge. As Pope points out, the diehards will say all the best stuff has been tucked away out of sight, but this particular theory doesn’t explain the stuff that is here. You cannot feign this sense of futility and frustration. Not over so many years.

“Despite what the conspiracy theorists claim, there was no coverup, we never did have an alien spaceship hidden away in a hangar,” says Pope. “It would be more exciting if this was the case, but it isn’t.”
