US President Eisenhower’s Fateful Deal for All Earthians with the Greys in 1954
Ike first met with the “Nordics” - nicknamed "Nordics" in UFO circles because they resemble Scandinavian humans – who were most likely Pleiadians from the Galactic Federation of Light. They traveled to Edwards Air Force Base in California, USA from another solar system in a “flying saucer” and they spoke to Eisenhower. "There was telepathic communication," says Michael Salla, researcher (see links below). "It's as though you're hearing a person but they're not speaking." The "Nordics" offered to share their superior technology and their spiritual wisdom with Ike if he would agree to eliminate America's nuclear weapons. "They were afraid we might blow up some of our nuclear technology," Salla says, "and apparently that does something to time and space and it impacts on extraterrestrial races on other planets."
Ike declined the ETs' offer, Salla says, because he did not want to give up the nukes. Sometime later in 1954, Ike reached a deal with another race of extraterrestrials, known as the "Greys" - allowing them to capture cattle and humans for medical experiments, provided that they returned the humans safely home. But there was no requirement to give up the nukes. Since then, Salla says, the "Greys" have kidnapped "millions" of humans. In the long run, the Greys reneged on giving all of the promised tech to the Secret Government of the USA.
And so the Cold War Mentality of the 1950’s ultimately sold all of humanity out and we have been paying for it ever since. The MJ-12 was formed after that to debunk all UFO phenomena and prevent any DISCLOSURE. Note: pixs in this post illustrate basic concept of what happened and are not necessarily real.

Why would NASA removed specific image frames from their SOHO images
This is the question BPEarthWatch asks about an image he captured, brought to the at.tention of many, created a video about, then noticed, as seen in the video below, that it simply disappeared with the images showing it now skipping right over that specific time stamp.
Here is the image in question:
Watch below and noticed it is simply gone. The original video showing this image and discussing it will be shown below the first one.
[Update] There was a recent claim that the “face of Jesus” was seen in this specific image… but it still leaves the question of why would NASA remove it?
UFO mania: The Reptilian Aliens and the Council of the 13 'Royal' Families
UFO mania: The Reptilian Aliens and the Council of the 13 'Royal' Families
Excerpts from Blue Blood, True Blood: Conflict & Creation The leader of the Earth's Illuminati is called the "Pindar". The Pindar is a member of one of the 13 ruling Illuminati families, and is always male. The title, Pindar, is an abbreviated term for "Pinnacle of the Draco", also known as the "Penis of the Dragon". Symbolically, this represents the top of power, control, creation, penetration, expansion, invasion, and fear. The holder of this rank reports to the purebred Reptilian leader in the inner Earth.
The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.
The Hopituh Shi-nu-mu (Hopi) people are one of the Native American tribes, descendants of the ancient Pueblo people that lived in the South West Area of the United States, which today is called Four Corners (The cross between Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). One of the groups of the ancient Pueblo people was the mysterious Anasazi, the ‘Ancient Ones’ that flourished and disappeared mysteriously between 550 and 1300 AD. The Hopi’s history goes back thousands of years, making them one of the oldest living cultures in the world.
The original name of the Hopi people, Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, means the ‘Peaceful People’. The concepts of morality and ethics are deep-rooted in the Hopi traditions and this involved a respect for all living things. Traditionally, they lived according to the laws of the Creator, Maasaw. The Hopi believed that the gods came up from the ground, in contrast to other mythologies in which gods came from the sky. Their mythology suggests that the Ant People inhabited the heart of the Earth. When you see the Hopi Ant People you will find extreme similarities with what we depict today as ‘grey aliens’.
In the Hopi traditions there are cycles of time – similar to the Aztec mythology, and as with many other mythologies. And they believed that at the end of each cycle the ‘gods’ return. We are currently going through the fourth cycle on Earth. However, what is interesting in those cycles is the third one, during which the Hopi talk about the ‘Flying Shields’ (patuwvotas). This world of the fourth cycle achieved an advanced civilization that was destroyed in the end by the God Sotuknang – nephew of the Creator, with great floods, in a similar way as in many other traditions.
In describing how advanced the third world was, advanced ‘flying shields’ were developed with the capability to attack cities that were far away and to travel quickly between different places of the world. The similarity to what we consider today as flying discs or even advanced aircraft is uncanny. According to a the Native American Wisdom Series, “Hopi, Following the Path of Peace”, these words were spoken by Sotuknang at the beginning of the Fourth World:
See, I have washed away even the footprints of your Emergence; the stepping-stones which I left for you. Down on the bottom of the seas lie all the proud cities, the flying patuwvotas [shields], and the worldly treasures corrupted with evil, and those people who found no time to sing the praises to the Creator from the tops of their hills. But the day will come, if you preserve the memory and the meaning of your Emergence, when these stepping-stones will emerge again to prove the truth you speak.
The blue star Kachina, according to the Hopi mythology, is a spirit that signifies the coming of the beginning of a new world, and the spirit appears in the form of a blue star. That is the ninth and final sign before the ‘Day of Purification’ which is the day the old world is destroyed and a new one begins. Those nine signs were described by a Hopi elder in 1958. You can read them here.
Furthermore, according to the Hopi’s traditions, the survivors of the flood of the previous world, spread into different places under the guidance of Maasau, by following his sign in the skys. When Maasau landed, he drew a petroglyph showing a lady riding on a ‘ship without wings’ in the shape of a dome. This petroglyph symbolized the day of purification when the true Hopi will fly to other planets in those ships without wings.
Many have said these ‘flying shields’ or ‘ships without wings’ clearly refer to what we know today as unidentified flying objects. What do you think?
My husband and I were in the backyard beside our firepit relaxing. I noticed bright red lights moving in the sky first, watched them move right to left about a mile away above the trees, mostly red with a yellow blinking – irregular beat. It then moved closer and I realized I was seeing something weird. I told my husband to turn around because I was looking at something very odd. It was hovering at that point, then moved towards us, closest it got to us – maybe 0.25 miles away. We watched for half a min before we agreed this was very weird. He got out his phone and started filming. Unfortunately the night-time contrast on phone filming stinks so there is no differentiation of treeline and sky, and lights are blurred together. At this time I could make out the object pretty well: cylinder shaped with a
triangle top, lights were now separated into four horizontal and parallel rows of bright dots/bulbs. All were a bright red, with the bottom two rows adding green and yellow irregularly. We were very quiet and I swore I could hear it. It sounded like a quiet wind machine, maybe a slight buzzing. Not as loud as a helicopter. This lasted approx. 10-15 sec. Then it moved back so quickly, but smoothly, approx. 1 mile back, began hovering again and the lighting changed to a red X with a greenish irregular blinking light in the middle. Occasionally more red lights in a thin line lit up on the right side of the X. I could not hear it anymore. This lasted approx. 10 sec.
Then it moved further away and we were now only able to make out that it was a red light with a greenish light irregularly blinking. It moved right to left twice (maybe 5+ miles), up and down once, hovering short times in-between all quickly, but so smooth. It was clear it was much further away at this point and as it was still moving right and down it went behind the tree-line. We both could not believe what we just saw. We started talking and thinking about what it legitimately could have been… possibly the military base 30 miles away testing new aircraft, patrol over the highway nearby, the County Fair 10 miles away providing interesting entertainment, or someone playing with a homemade drone to create hoaxes.
Then about five minutes after the first sighting it came back. It was further away, so we could not define shape and lighting lines, only color and movement. It flew in a similar way as before, right to left then up and down… quickly and smoothly. Then it was gone behind the trees less than a minute later. All we could say at this point was “that was crazy” and just kept staring at the sky waiting for it to reappear. We went inside after waiting about an hour for a re-sighting. It just didn’t feel real, but we both confirmed exactly the same thing. I have really good eyes and my husband just got new glasses pretty much perfecting his vision. Just crazy. Please debunk this sighting for me. Tell me there is another reason for this unidentified flying object in the sky. We know what planes and helicopters look and sound like. There were plenty of them in the sky that night, but this was definitely not one of them (the lights were too bright, the shape was different, the movement was different… it was nothing we had ever seen before). Was there anyone else in our area that claimed a similar sighting last night?

This case is under investigation by Chief Investigator Ken Pfeifer of MUFON New Jersey.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek, astronomer and consultant to the U.S. Air Force regarding UFOs.
Itwas just about a year after J.Allen Hynek had passed away and I was serving as the Director of Special Investigations for his namesake, the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) in Chicago, Illinois. I also served on the board of directors at that time. It was seven years since the book The Roswell Incident had sparked a fair degree of interest on the American UFO scene and I, for one, was not impressed. In fact, I would not even acquire a copy of the book for another year. Nonetheless, many throughout the UFO community were taking the case seriously. The very notion that the U.S. government had in their possession the actual remains of a crashed flying saucer was within the scope of possibilities for many of my colleagues. The problem for me was that I just could not conceive that an event of such magnitude could be kept a secret for all those years. As a result, I was very dismissive of such a fairytale. Little did I know that my entire life was about to be completely engrossed by the very subject.
Come February of that time in 1987, I received a phone call from my good friend and fellow CUFOS board member, Jerome Clark. ‘Jerry’ was cautiously excited about a fast developing situation within our field of ufology. So fast, that he immediately asked me to strictly take his word, due to the fact he had yet to see that for which he was about to describe to me. “Don!” exclaimed Jerry. “We may be on to a smoking gun situation here. Now, I’ve talked to Mark (Dr. Mark Rodeghier, successor to Hynek) and he agrees with me that we should go ahead with this. We’d like you to contact Paul Harvey and see if he’ll break the story of what I’m about to confide to you.” The late Paul Harvey was a famous radio news commentator with ABC network out of Chicago for over fifty years. After Hynek had passed away, I was selected by the CUFOS board to continue briefing this highly influential newsman on the subject of UFOs. “Tell me what you have,” I asked Clark. He replied, “If this is genuine, it will break the entire UFO field wide open…”
William Leonard Moore was a most prominent ufologist during the late 1970s up until the end of the 1980s. Somehow, for which remains a mystery to this day, he either stumbled upon or orchestrated, one of the most controversial topics both in and outside of the subject of UFOs. To some, he remains an enigma, both misunderstood and willing participant. To others, his name and actions are considered “Judas-like” in their implications. Therefore, we will examine how a high school teacher found himself engulfed in the middle of either an early attempt at disclosure or a multi-tiered game of disinformation possibly intended to take down the entire UFO community.
From 1966 through 1978, he taught French and Russian in Pennsylvania public schools. It is interesting to note that given his second language was Russian, that has suggested he would become a primary candidate for American espionage. In 1979, Moore moved to Minnesota where he took on a new profession of teaching drama and English at a high school outside of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Before teaching, he was primarily employed as a union arbitrator and mediator. In any event, he was most proficient with his language skills and was destined to become a writer and lecturer. Among other interests, he had also been into the subject of UFOs and had investigated a number of minor reports for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) of Washington, D.C. during the 1960s. It came as no surprise that with his background, he would eventually write a book on the topic. However, his first attempt was not quite on target.
Hardly related to the subject of UFOs, in 1979, Moore co-authored The Philadelphia Experiment with world famous linguist Charles Berlitz. The book recounted the alleged 1943 U.S. Navy cloaking experiment of the USS Eldridge at the Philadelphia Naval Yard. Based on pure hearsay and no eyewitness testimony, the tale of the ship disappearing from its dock and reappearing off Norfolk, Virginia, has become the fodder of pure fantasy believers.
It was while publicizing his first book that Moore renewed an acquaintance he had with Stanton Friedman while he was lecturing in Minnesota. As it turned out, they both shared a number of witnesses related to the Roswell incident of 1947. Moore tracked down original newspaper accounts about the case and by mid-1979; the two researchers were discussing a book on the forgotten event. However, there was one glitch. Moore’s original publisher, Grosset and Dunlap insisted that as in the previous book, Berlitz would again write the final draft. Friedman and Moore would provide all of their investigative notes and send them off the much more popular author in New York. Frankly, Friedman conducted most of the interviews with potential witnesses, and received only a mention in the acknowledgements when the book was released in 1980.

To limited fanfare, The Roswell Incident received mixed reviews from the critics, but did bring the case once again to the forefront of UFOlore. Others, like me, had a most difficult time accepting the very premise of the book. Just as Moore’s previous writing, this book read in many ways like the pages of a checkout stand tabloid. Years later, Moore himself regaled the book as a “disgraceful hodgepodge of fact and fiction.” He would deny writing any part of it. This would become quite evident in the update papers that he would present over the next few years. Conversely, they were demonstrative of Moore’s keen eye and prowess as an investigator; his reports not only presented the Roswell case as factual, but also appeared to harden his determination to solve the occurrence. Alternatively, so it appeared in the first five years of his investigation of the New Mexican mystery.
Promoting the book was rather limited in comparison to today’s outlets. Still, as Moore would describe, opportunity knocked while doing just that. “I got a phone call after appearing on a radio show from a man who said ‘you’re the only person we’ve heard talk about this subject, who seems to know what he’s talking about.’ He convinced me that he was a government intelligence agent and wanted to begin disseminating some information about UFOs to the public.” In exchange for providing the researcher with new information, Moore was to observe specific individuals within the UFO field. Whether out of curiosity or anxiousness to finish his own investigation, Moore jumped at the opportunity. The question remains, was he set up to fail and ruin his reputation, or was he part of the very disinformation scheme he claimed to be enlisted. In any event, who would be the first ufologist on their ‘hit list?’
The late Paul Benowitz was an investigator with the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) of Tucson, Arizona. A most controversial figure, Bennowitz was of the belief that there was a serious plot involving an extensive network of underground UFO bases connected to an alien colonization and control scheme to subjugate the human race. He also claimed to have uncovered evidence of aliens controlling people using electronic devices, and furthermore, claimed UFOs were frequently observed near Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, which was connected to secret tunnels into the mountains of nearby Manzano Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility and Coyote Test Range. How did Bennowitz come to suspect all this? He was convinced he was intercepting electronic communications originating from a secret underground UFO facility located outside of the town of Dulce, New Mexico.
Unable to contain himself, Bennowitz proceeded to sound the alert openly, much to the consternation of officials at APRO. Moore just happened to sit on the group’s board of directors during this episode and they immediately labeled the bizarre claims as delusional and paranoid. However, unknown to Bennowitz, Moore and his ‘new friends’ outside of the UFO community, plotted to not only discredit him, but psychologically destroy him.
On December 29 and 30 of 1981, Moore would meet for the first time with the anonymous caller as mentioned previously in this article. The meetings took place at a restaurant in Albuquerque with one Sgt. Richard C. Doty, then stationed at Kirtland AFB. Doty would claim he was a special investigator with the Air Force Office of Scientific Information (AFOSI) and displayed three documents – one being the fraudulent ‘Aquarius Teletype.’ The stage was being set to slowly but surely, provide the UFO community with either the document proof it had sought since 1947, or the most elaborate hoax ever perpetrated on the subject.

The first thing that the two agreed to was to finish the discrediting of Paul Bennowitz. It would appear that this ‘whistleblower’ was becoming more dangerous to himself and hardly needed to be pushed over the edge. Still, that is precisely what Moore and Doty did. Moore started to feed him pure misinformation on the subject with the full intent he would repeat such nonsense publicly. He would. Next, they started playing mind games with their victim. For example, Moore personally described to me how they would go to Bennowitz’s home on occasions and slowly move the furniture around. When ones concept of their immediate environment begins to change, we start to lose touch with reality. Sadly, it all had a most negative impact on both the physical and physiological health of Bennowitz. During that time, he was committed three times to a mental health facility and treated for severe delusional paranoia. The question still remains, was Paul Bennowitz becoming dangerous for someone else? We will address that question later.
In June of 1982, Moore teamed up with television producer Jaime Shandera after moving to Burbank, California. Along with Friedman, they had worked together in 1980 on a UFO documentary. Together, they would have clandestine meetings with a growing number of shadow characters who would become known as the “Aviary.” A majority of these contacts were actually figures within the UFO community. Two others were Doty and another enlisted man at Kirtland Robert Collins, who were dubbed ‘Falcon’ and ‘Condor’ presumably by Shandera. Whether to add to the intrigue or just to maintain a level of anonymity, others were named ‘Sparrow,’ ‘Blue Jay,’ and ‘Hawk.’ Throughout the 1980s, more birds would join the fold totaling twelve, each one promoting a special insight into UFO intelligence and a staged attempt at slowly releasing the truth to the public. On the other hand, so Moore and Shandera were telling us. The grand scheme was about to commence.
Shandera, who was virtually unknown in UFO circles, received a 35 mm black and white roll of film in plain brown paper wrapped envelope on December 11, 1984. There was no return address, except that it was postmarked in Albuquerque. As though the delivery was anticipated, he immediately called Moore and they had the film processed. The developed film contained two documents, the more important being the seven-page Eisenhower Briefing Document, which has since been referred to the “MJ-12” documents. Moore and Shandera would next make a trip to the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and on a tip in the form of a postcard, would go to a specifically numbered box of documents and claim to discover a carbon copy of a memo from Robert Cutler (Special Assistant to President Eisenhower) which mentioned the existence of MJ-12. Allegedly, they would spend the next two years meeting with other members of the aviary while doing all they could to substantiate the documents.
The Twining Memo
This is what Jerry Clark was calling me about in February 1987. Moreover, with an assurance that everything “looked good,” I contacted Paul Harvey to break the story. Thankfully, Mr. Harvey was much more reserved and needed more than copies of documents on film where no pedigree could be established. Still, he was willing to broadcast a request that anyone who could verify the documents should contact him and maintain confidentiality. The offer was made to his national audience of tens of millions of listeners. Now, all we could do was try to protect ourselves at CUFOS and investigate the situation ourselves. I was assigned to represent the organization and extend a helping hand of cooperation to Moore, Shandera, and Friedman with the hope of proving the documents as genuine or fakes. However, Shandera was the unknown in this entire affair. He would be my contact. Over the next couple of weeks, we spoke over the phone for no less than ten hours. In addition, after each conversation, I would report to my scientific director, Dr. Mark Rodeghier. The one element that Shandera emphasized repeatedly was that they were promised a “truck-load” of additional documents. UFO believers were about to have all of their dreams come true. Shandera would end each conversation with a remark made specifically by either Falcon or Condor as though they were calling all the shots. I believe he also wanted CUFOS to think this was a rapidly developing story and there was little time for substantiation.
Paul Harvey
In the same token of urgency, it was immediately requested that I arrange for either Moore or Shandera to meet with Paul Harvey in Chicago. That was my one mistake and it would cost me any further association with such a prominent figure in the media. Harvey had agreed to meet with Shandera, mainly for the fact that no whistleblowers had stepped forward to endorse the MJ-12 papers. He felt a meeting with the recipient might advance the process before presenting his findings in a closing newscast. To say that Shandera was a disappointment would be an understatement. He traveled to Chicago and met with the legendary reporter in a leather motorcycle jacket, t-shirt, blue jeans, and cowboy boots. Nevertheless, what truly upset Harvey, was Shandera’s claim that according to his “inside sources,” organized religion, specifically Christianity, was concocted by the aliens. Harvey, a deeply religious man, was personally offended and was close to calling security to have this “charlatan” removed from his office. I had never met Shandera, took the word of my associates, and it cost me my association with Paul Harvey.
For the very fact neither Moore, Shandera, Friedman, nor anyone else for that matter were able to provide any substantiation, for the documents, Paul Harvey’s “rest of the story” on MJ-12 and UFOs in general was less than tepid. We all had lost a major ally within the American press – and I could only blame myself. Now it was my turn. I was heading to California to meet the two people who were still claiming the proof was right around the corner.
Over the course of the next two years, I would meet in Los Angeles at the home of Shandera. I would meet privately with Moore and Shandera during other visits. At this stage they were both aware we were investigating more than their personal claims – we were now investigating them. The questions grew beyond the authenticity of the MJ-12 documents and the supporting papers. We now focused on who could have created, “forged” such documents and for whose benefit. Through years of follow-up investigation, we have arrived at specific conclusions.
From the very first time I talked with Jamie Shandera in 1987 until the last time I saw him in July 1997, he gave me the same assurance each time. “We expect to have many more supportive documents in the near future,” became a stuck record from Moore’s partner. On other occasions, Shandera would go so far as to suggest that a “truckload” of documents was about to be turned over to them. All, with the plan to prove that the U.S. Government has physical proof of the existence of UFOs since 1947. As of 2013, twenty-six years after the promises that disclosure was imminent – still nothing – including the complete disappearance of Moore and Shandera from the UFO field. Consider the following:
During 1982, Moore and Doty attempted to get UFO journalist Robert Pratt to assist them to publish a book focused on the Aquarius and MJ-12 documents. Doty went under the pseudonym of ‘Ronald L. Davis.’ This was after Moore related to Doty a story of a famous UFO hoax. Doty and his colleagues used this story to provide details to create the Aquarius Executive Briefing. This was the document, which Doty attempted to pass of as genuine to UFO researcher Linda Howe in April 1983. Howe was negotiating with the HBO television network, about a UFO documentary. According to Friedman, “…the simple fact of the matter is that Moore, Shandera, and I had already picked up on all the names of the [MJ-12] list prior to the receipt of the [MJ-12] film.” Moore, himself would admit, “Some months later, in early 1983, I became aware that Rick [Doty] was involved with a team of several others [in AFOSI], including one fellow from Denver that I knew of and at least one who was working out of D.C., in playing an elaborate disinformation game against a prominent UFO researcher [Howe], who at the time, had close connections with a major film company [HBO] interested in doing a UFO documentary.”
On October 14, 1988, a two-hour TV special called UFO Cover-Up Live! was broadcasted simultaneously to both the United States and oddly enough, the USSR. This connection will make more sense at the close of this article. Hosted by actor Mike Farrell of the MASH TV series, the program originated from Washington, D.C. This would become the highly promoted Moore and Shandera introduction of two of the mysterious Aviary, “Falcon” and “Condor.” The two inside shadow figures were presented as U.S. Intelligence agents but were electronically disguised so they were only seen in silhouette and their voices were altered. Among some of the unbelievable claims the two “agents” made were that America was hosting alien visitors who liked strawberry ice cream and ancient Tibetan music. In reality, the two inside sources were none other than Doty and Robert Collins continuing their disinformation campaign. It attracted a huge audience but unfortunately, legitimate witnesses to legitimate UFO cases were left waiting, uncalled in their motel rooms, while Moore and Shandera exploited their own brand of disinformation. An opportunity that has left a bad taste in the mouth of ufology for all these years.
“Falcon” on UFO Cover-Up Live!
Friedman would continue to champion the MJ-12 documents even though most within the American UFO community dismissed them as just elaborate hoaxes. All through the first half of 1989, while his research partner Friedman performed due diligence, Moore and Shandera ducked all the slings and arrows by maintaining a low profile. Something was about to break and many expected delivery of all that was promised over the past two years. However, even Friedman appeared to be in the dark…or he too realized it was all about to fall apart.
On July 1 and 2, 1989 Las Vegas, Nevada hosted the annual Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) symposium. The keynote speaker for Saturday evening had yet to arrive at the Sands Casino Hotel for the conference. It had been previously arranged that he would stay elsewhere. His presentation was slated for an hour and a half…it would go on for two hours. There were no questions and answers to follow…the speaker would exit immediately through a rear door to avoid any confrontation. There were outcries of derision and threatening remarks throughout the lecture, which caused MUFON Nevada State Director John Lear, to call repeatedly for order. William L. Moore was giving his “swan song” to his colleagues within the field of ufology.
Moore at MUFON
Clearly, to insure the accuracy of every word he uttered Moore read from a prepared speech. “…when I just ran into the disinformation operation…being run on Bennowitz…it seemed to me…I was in a rather unique position. There I was with my foot…in the door of a secret counterintelligence game that gave every appearance of being somehow directly connected to a high-level government UFO project, and judging by the positions of the people I knew to be directly involved with it, it definitely had something to do with national security. There was no way I was going to allow the opportunity to pass me by without learning at least something about what was going on. I would play the disinformation game, get my hands dirty just often enough to lead those directing the process into believing that I was doing exactly what they wanted me to do, and all the while continuing to burrow my way into the matrix so as to learn as much as possible about who was directing it and why.”
Moore would confess to the assembled crowd that they had been “…had by elements of United States counterintelligence.” The audience’s reaction was that they had been “had” by Moore. Friedman acted as though he was flabbergasted and just as shocked as was everyone else in the banquet room. He had only talked over the phone with Moore just before the introduction to his speech. Moore had agreed to meet with both of us at another location following what has become the most controversial presentation ever given to a UFO assembly. It was sad in many ways to watch someone publicly destroy himself. Sadder, still, that Moore later declined our planned meeting. If not a government agent as some had suspected, he was used to spy and discredit his colleagues, and more importantly, spread disinformation about UFOs to the American media. He had no new documents to prove or substantiate all the empty promises he had made to not only Paul Harvey and me, but also to all of his friends and colleagues. Moore had sold his soul to the devil, a devil that he, Doty, and Shandera had created for exploitation, profit, and their own bemusement at pulling off such an elaborate hoax on the entire UFO community.
Today, Moore lives in Pennsylvania and still occasionally writes, but not about UFOs. He writes an infrequent editorial for a local newspaper and has been researching the “Book of Mormon.”
Henry Rositzke
He now claims that he believes that “Falcon” was the late high-ranking CIA official Henry Rositzke. Rositzke worked 25 years for the agency and was a director of operations. After retiring, he authored The CIA’s Secret Operations: Espionage, Counterespionage, and Covert Actions, along with The KGB: The Eyes of Russia. Rositzke was a Soviet Intelligence specialist and personally considered the KGB the world’s best intelligence operation. Moore would assert that upon the agent’s retirement, he also claimed to represent a group of government insiders who wanted UFO disclosure. Moore would never meet with Rositzke who passed away in 2002, but long inferred that he had spoken with the former CIA official who also spoke fluent Russian as did Moore. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Rositzke spoke with a heavy Brooklyn accent throughout his life so it now would appear odd that according to Moore, Doty, who has an American southern accent, took on the role of “Falcon” to protect the true identity of the real one. To date, there exists no evidence that beyond Moore, Shandera, Doty, and Collins, there was anyone else even remotely associated such as Rositzke.
Even the very “core” elements of their UFO story was nothing beyond what others had already promoted; That extraterrestrials have been visiting the earth, there was a crash recovery in New Mexico with one survivor, and that the government was having a lot of trouble back-engineering the advanced technology – nothing earth-shaking here.
Another possibility for motive comes to mind when one ties in Moore’s knowledge of the Russian language and his claims of noted CIA agent Rositzke. When one discovers that Paul Bennowitz had befriended a Soviet scientist and started to secretly correspond with him, this would have soon made him a target for KGB counter intelligence. Did Moore become aware of this and fancied himself to become a “spy for a day.” Were there visions of taking credit for the apprehension of a Soviet spy? Keep in mind that Moore studied Russia about the same time he took interest in the subject of UFOs.
William Moore had once confided to close friend Jerry Clark, that he fully expected “Roswell to make him a million dollars.” One thing remains abundantly clear, there is no evidence that Moore ever was paid for his alleged services as any intelligence agent would have been. In spite of dreams of fame and financial gain, William L. Moore now leads a life of a recluse and continues to work modest jobs such as a public school custodian. Handsomely rewarded for services rendered he certainly was not. Or was it because he failed in his participation in some form of conspiracy to fool the public with phony UFO documents? If so, the powers that be underestimated us…as most did not fall for this ruse. The late Paul Harvey was correct. We continue our own research wiser for the experience and forever vigilant of the next “stranger bearing gifts.” For that life lesson, unlike most of my colleagues, I will thank Bill Moore – which is more than his “Aviary” ever did.
I’m inviting Stuart Robbins - and all the rest of the skeptics and members of the UFOCI – to simply…test this photo:
WCUFO extended cupola
Notice that I even said…please.
Here’s the drill, drop it into PhotoShop, increase the brightness, lower the contrast and let’s see what you come up with.
Since we know that an eight-year old can do this in just a couple of minutes, it’s not going to be beyond anyone’s technical ability to just…test the photo.
And since it’s obviously no ordinary photo but one that speaks to the credibility of the extraordinary claims that the WCUFO is not of this world, all of those invited to test it have the opportunity to:
Explain the results that they themselves will get.
Present some other credible, substantiated explanation for the photo – and the 62 other ones of the same object – as well as for the five-minute video of it.
By now we all know that the photo was taken in 1981, on 35mm film, by Billy Meier, who never drew any attention to it, nor hinted that there was much more to it than meets the eye.
So, will the invitees have the personal and professional integrity to participate in this little test, which only takes a few minutes, and then report their results?
Will we finally have gotten past petty excuses, attempted dismissals, outright avoidance and on to facing the facts, whatever they may be?
This little exercise could actually be a precursor to doing something meaningful together – like helping prevent WW III – more about which I’ll expound upon once we have all of the results in.

Otzi the Iceman: Non-Human DNA Found in Hip Bone of 5,300-Year-Old Mummy
Much of what is known about Otzi the Iceman, who lived thousands of years ago, stems from a tiny bone sample preserved in a glacier in the Otztal Alps, which allowed researchers to decode his genetic makeup.
Now, scientists have further analysed the hip bone and discovered it contains non-human DNA.
Researchers from the European Academy of Bozen/Bolzano (EURAC) and the University of Vienna have found evidence for the presence of Treponema denticola, an opportunistic pathogen involved in the development of periodontal disease.
The findings could support a CT-based diagnosis made last year which indicated that the iceman suffered from periodontitis.
“What is new is that we did not carry out a directed DNA analysis but rather investigated the whole spectrum of DNA to better understand which organisms are in this sample and what is their potential function,” said researcher Frank Maixner, as quoted by Science Daily.
“This ‘non-human’ DNA mostly derives from bacteria normally living on and within our body,” added Thomas Rattei, a professor of bioinformatics at the University of Vienna.
“Only the interplay between certain bacteria or an imbalance within this bacterial community might cause certain diseases,” he explained.
“Therefore it is highly important to reconstruct and understand the bacterial community composition by analysing this DNA mixture.”
Unexpectedly, the researchers detected a sizable presence of the bacteria in the tiny bone sample, which provided information that the pathogen seems to have been distributed via the bloodstream from the mouth to the hip bone.
Furthermore, the investigations indicate that these members of the human commensal oral microflora were old bacteria which did not colonise the body after death.
The EURAC team also detected Clostridia-like bacteria in Otzi’s bone sample which are at present most presumably in a kind of dormant state. Under hermetically sealed, anaerobic conditions, however, these bacteria can re-grow and degrade tissue.
This discovery may well play a significant part in the future conservation of the world-famous mummy.
“This finding indicates that altered conditions for preserving the glacier mummy, for example when changing to a nitrogen-based atmosphere commonly used for objects of cultural value, will require additional micro-biological monitoring,” the researchers said in a statement, as reported by Science 2.0. – Yahoo
I could have thrown a rock at it, it was so close and low. A huge black triangle with white lights on each corner and a couple red blinking lights as well. Then another smaller triangle came across the river.
Hello everyone, I’m 18 years old and I’m your average college student dude. Never have I really thought about paranormal beings, haunting etc. That all changed 2 years ago.
Whenever I sleep I just lie on my stomach so when I wake up I pretty much look at the ground. I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw somebody standing in front of me. Now, I should be scared shitless! The weird thing about the whole thing is that I wasn’t scared at all. I looked up and I saw this little girl standing in front of me. Motionless, she just stared at the window next to me. I just turned around and went back to sleep. I remembered it so clearly when I woke up, I almost cried out of fear.
I’m a heavy gamer so I usually game all night in the weekends. Now, let me get something clear before I continue, my house is VERY old. My room is next to the stairs and it screeches heavily when somebody walks on it. While I was gaming somebody just stormed upstairs and I just looked at the door. I was shocked. Everyone was asleep and I was the ONLY person awake in my house. I stared for about 20 minutes then I decided to go to sleep, still shocked from what just had happened.. I asked my mother the next morning if it was her. She said no…
Yet again, I woke up in the middle of the night. The same girl that I saw months prior to that day was standing in front of me. She just looked at the wall and yet again, I wasn’t scared. It seems that whenever this happens I’m just immune to fear. I just closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
The next day I was watching a movie in the living room and I heard ” Bang bang bang bang bang ” like somebody tumbling off the stairs. Now I have a three year old brother who was sleeping at that time so out of human nature I ran like a madman to the stairs to see if he somehow fell down. There was no one there. I stood there, paralyzed, I didn’t know what to do. Everyone was asleep and I felt like running to my mother but I just couldn’t go upstairs, I was way too scared. I ran to the kitchen, made some coffee and tried to forget about it.
The last encounter which happened like 2 months ago was the scariest of all. Like the last two encounters, I woke up in the middle of the night, immune to fear. There was this creature, I don’t know, it looked like a demon of some sort. It didn’t have any eyelids or lips. It was laying down on the floor while looking at me, smiling with his huge eyes. I looked right in his eyes for about 20 seconds, I didn’t feel any fear, it almost felt like I was drugged, I simply didn’t care. I went back to sleep and woke up remembering everything. My mom walked into my room and she asked me why the shower was turned on. I woke up like 2 hours prior to the encounter and I heard somebody in the shower, I thought that it was my mother because from time to time she takes a shower around 1 AM. The shower was still running in the morning. – Reddit.com
MOSSY GROVE, Tenn. (WATE) – A mysterious figure is capturing the attention of social media. She’s been nicknamed “the woman in black” and she’s been spotted in different parts of east Tennessee and Virginia.
Few people claim to know much about the so called “woman in black” spotted in the Mossy Grove, Tenn. area Friday. Alexandria Schubert was ringing someone up at the convenience store she works at when she saw the woman walk by.
“Nobody knows the story to her. She won’t talk to nobody. It’s like a mysterious story on the internet,” said Alexandria Schubert.
The “woman in black” is sharing some details about herself. The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office told WCYB in the Tri-Cities area that her name is Elizabeth Poles and she’s from Motts, Alabama.
“That is a first and I’m a 42 year old. I have never seen anybody dressed like that or around here like that,” said Mary Hawn of Oakdale, Tenn.
The 56 year old woman claims she’s on a bible mission and it looks like she’s making her way down south.
Last month, she was in Wise, Virginia and was captured on YouTube arguing with a man in a Walmart parking lot about religion. Videos like that and plenty of pictures posted to social media are making people pull over when they see this woman.
“We passed her maybe twice and the third time we stopped to see if she needed anything because my daughter was telling me she’s been on Facebook, everywhere,” said Hawn.
For most who saw her in Tennessee Friday, they can’t believe they saw the woman everyone’s been talking about.
“Where’s she going? What is she doing? Still wondering her story,” said Schubert.
A reporter from WATE in Knoxville tried to ask the “woman in black” some questions, but it seems like she wants to remain a mystery.
The “woman in black” also told investigators she was from an Islamic nation and worked at the Pentagon, but they determined that wasn’t true. – WSPA
Once more we find ourselves with direct information regarding strange presences during the month of May 2014 on the shores of Necochea, Argentina.
It is here that we have found four (4) witnesses who speak of seeing strange lights at night on the Necochea’s very shoreline, its beach, as well as sightings of a strange humanoid-type creature. These events occurred on Sunday, 18 May and Tuesday, 20 May at night.
In both cases, the sightings took place from an apartment on the coast of the swimming resort itself. It should be noted that at the time, these were very cold evenings and with rain/showers during the first incident. The beaches of Necochea are illuminated by very large floodlights, allowing witnesses in these cases to see the strange presences. The names of the protagonists have been changed at their own request, but all information is in my possession. Let us hear now from the protagonists of these events.
Strange Lights over the Beach
The evening of Sunday, 18 May 2014 was a very cold one, with steady rain and rain showers. There was no one on the shoreline, and some wind was prevalent over the area. Two technicians for a major corporation – whom we shall call Ramiro Z. and Christian B., were looking through the window of an apartment located facing the sea, on the 11th floor of an important new building in the village.
Strange New Humanoid Presence on the Beaches of Necochea, Argentina
Ramiro Z. and Cristian B. are professionals in different technical areas. They perform their duties for a well-known company in Necochea and are 48 and 50 years old, respectively. They told us:
“We were looking through the window of the apartment located facing the sea and something caught our attention. We could see some strange lights lighting the very edge of the sea, but given their distance, it wasn’t possible to make them out clearly. Imagine our surprise when moments after seeing these lights, located around Avenida 2 and Calle 81, approximately, but on the shore, at its very edge, we saw a person walking in that direction out of thin air – a person we were unable to see clearly. We call it a person because it was a humanoid figure heading toward the lights. We then called another person, whom we shall call Guadalupe P. to come have a look. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to make out the humanoid figure, but did manage to glimpse the lights at the very edge of the sea, on the beach itself. The figure vanished moments later, as did the strange lights on the shore. The time was approximately 22:15 – 22:20 hours of the evening. It should be noted that it wasn’t a 4×4 truck or any motorcycle that could have been on the beach, since the lights were different and they [cast light] like a spotlight on that part of the shore. Furthermore, it was raining, and no one under such circumstances is going to wander around the shore on a cold and rainy night.”
That was the story of my two eyewitnesses, both of them fully qualified by their studies and the functions they carry out in their jobs.
They believe it was a strange object, while unable to make out its size or shape. What they saw with a humanoid shape could have also been its occupant, who for some reason stopped on the shore before returning and vanishing abruptly. They were unable to make out any clothing or facial features at all.
It should be noted that seeing lights and strange objects on the Necochea shoreline is quite common: over the sea, exiting and/ or entering its depths, hovering over vessels waiting their turn to enter the Port of Quequén-Necochea – in short, the case histories are abundant in these matters and I myself have witnessed some of them.
A Strange Humanoid Presence on the Shore
Two days after these events – more precisely Tuesday, 20 May – Mrs. Guadalupe P. and her daughter Marcela P. noticed the strange presence of a humanoid-type “person” who “floated as it walked” on the shore itself, also at night and without anyone else being there. They were in their apartment facing the shoreline on Avenida 2 of the city of Necochea.
This is the story of both protagonists:
This is the testimony of Guadalupe P., a professional, married with three children, age 52. He holds a senior position in a teaching institution in Necochea:
“On May 20 at approximately 22:15 hours, my 17-year-old daughter summoned me because she had seen something “strange” moving along the seashore from south to north. I should explain that we live facing the sea on the 11th floor. It was a clear but very cold night. An ethereal figure in whitish hues, yet simultaneously transparent, could be made out. It stood 1.60/1.65 meters tall, average. Considering how cold it was that evening, it really caught our attention. It gave the impression of flying in the air (its feet were unsupported). In order to see it better, we turned off the lights of the apartment and looked out the balcony, opening the window. We were able to confirm that the figure was traveling in the air. Facing our seaside apartment there is a wooden platform (used in the summer as a bar and refreshment vending point) and this figure stopped there for a few seconds before moving on. We saw it for a few meters but lost it from sight in front of the sandbanks. It should be noted that the beaches are lit up to that point. We don’t know if it went into the sea or kept walking toward the seawall. All of this happened over a 250 meter stretch.”
This is the statement of her daughter Marcela P., a 17-year-old student:
“20 May 2014 was a very cold night. It would’ve been around 22:15 hours, approximately. I was sitting in an armchair in my apartment on the 11th floor, looking out onto the Necochea seashore. Spotlights lit the beach, there was no one around, but I managed to see a “person”. For this reason, I called my Mom over so she could look, and as she regarded it for a few seconds, realized it wasn’t a person, since it didn’t appear to be wearing clothes, a scarf, hats or shoes (and as I said earlier, it was a very cold night). For that reason we turned off the apartment’s lights, looked out from the balcony and could see it more clearly. The figure stood approximately 1.60 meters, I think, an average height, was very diffuse, its lower body was barely visible. What we could see clearly, though, is that it was moving in the air, as if floating. It kept going for some 100 meters until it reached a platform with wooden pilings that is used in the summer as a refreshment stand. It stopped there, lingered a few seconds, and kept going another 150 meters, although its figure became less noticeable, it became more diffuse, until it finally vanished altogether. This is the first time I’ve seen something like this. I was stunned. For that reason I keep looking through the balcony at night, hoping to see something like it again.”
These are the direct eyewitness reports of the protagonists of this strange sighting. On the full shores of Necochea, on a very cold night with no one around. When I asked about lights near the edge of the sea or elsewhere, both told me that there were no lights in evidence, as in the previous case. They did clearly see this strange humanoid figure, floating as it walked. It was in the air. It seemed to vanish at times, as parts of its body could not be seen. Its size was apparently normal. Could it have been the same creature seen two days earlier by Ramiro Z. and Cristian B.? What was it looking for on the seashore, and wandering along the coastline? Where did it finally go?
Conclusion
Necochea is no stranger to UFO sightings and the presence of its occupants. I have personally looked into dozens of cases with multiple witnesses of varied socio-cultural backgrounds, finding true cases of UFO encounters as well as with the presence of occupants, such as the famous incident I dubbed “The Amelia Case: Contact in Necochea, Argentina” on 14 February 1988, with the sighting of two humanoid beings, and years ago, on 31 August 1978, a sighting of strange amorphous beings – a case I dubbed “The Estancia La Dulce Case – A UFO Encounter with Amorphous Entities”, and more recently the strange photo taken in November 2013 at Necochea Beach, showing the photo of a tall humanoid – an image that went around the world through the news and UFO media. “The Humanoid of Necochea Beach”, was the title I gave it. They have also left their mark in a wealth of landing incidents, such as the Aeroclub Gral. Necochea incident of 9 November 1968, the ground marks found on February 1988 in a house in Miguel Lillo Park, the six circles discovered on Thursday, 11 February 1988 on the premises of the Sociedad Rural de Necochea (“Strange Prints in Necochea”) and finally, another print found on 24 December 2013 near a field in Necochea (“Strange Print Found in a Field Near Necochea”) where a large, perfect circle measuring 11 meters was found in a wheat field. The cases continue and I could keep listing them — UFO chases such as the famous case known as “The Necochea Incident: Analysis of a Contact” in August 1962, micro-flaps in 1978 during the month of August of that year, and may other events that took place in various seasons of the year since 1962 (which I have followed up on and researched many years later, as I wasn’t born at the time) to this date. Multiple sightings over the city, over the sea, over the Quequén River, over the Park, over the adjacent locality of Quequén, photographs, video recordings of these events, and coming across the widest variety of witnesses as the protagonists of these events.
What happened last May on the shores of Argentina can be added to this rich and important case history within world ufology. I personally believe that these events played out exactly as told by the witnesses. A strange humanoid figure traveled along the coast of Necochea – for reasons unknown to us – one night in May 2014.

More than 400 people attended each of the three days of the 2014 MUFON Symposium in Cherry Hill, NJ, this past week – which caused some to report past UFO cases.
The witness in a 1999 Lee County, Alabama, case finally came forward with his account after attending the 2014 MUFON Symposium. Pictured: Lee County, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
The Symposium speakers included:
A Keynote Address by George Knapp focusing on the Area 51 whistleblower 25 years later.
MUFON Director of Communications Roger Marsh speaking on “Covering UFOs.”
Pennsylvania State Director John Ventre on “Anderson Cooper and the Case for UFOs.”
Huffington Post writer Lee Speigel on “UFOs: From Cave Walls to Modern Reports.”
Dr. Lynne Kitei on “Beyond the Phoenix Lights.”
Director James Fox on “UFO Filmmaking.”
Stephen Bassett on “Congressional UFO Disclosure.”
Syfy channel television host Ben Hansen on “Media, Technology and Belief.”
UFO Hunters host Bill Birnes on “UFO Hunters: Season One.”
Linda Moulton Howe on “10,000 B.C. Gobekli Tepe and Other Ancient Stone Structures.”
Hangar 1 Executive Producer Paul Villadolid speaking about the television show.
One of those witnesses who came forward detailed a June 1999 Alabama case after meeting Alabama State Director Rich Hoffman.
“He asked that I report this case, despite it having happened so long ago,” the witness stated.
The witness was eight years old in 1999 when he was a backseat passenger in his mother’s vehicle with an older brother riding in the front seat as they moved through Lee County. His mother stopped by a friend’s home along the way, leaving her two children alone in the car for a few minutes.
The silent object was hovering just 30 to 40 feet above the vehicle in the 1999 report from Lee County, Alabama, recently reported to MUFON. Pictured: Lee County, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
“It was a very rural, wooded neighborhood not far from Phenix City or Crawford. She went inside for a very short time, leaving my older brother in the front seat and myself in the back seat, right side, next to the window, in the car.”
While he was waiting, the witness looked out the side window.
“I saw a lead grey, slightly reflective disk hovering about 30-40 feet over and to the right of our car. It made absolutely no sound and made no action that would have given it away.”
The witness said that had he not looked in that direction, he would not have seen the object because there was no sound.
The witness was so terrified by the events from 1999, that he kept the account to himself and just recently reported the incident to MUFON. Pictured: Lee County, Alabama. (Credit: Google)
“The disk hovered, rotating slightly, while I watched it for about 60 seconds. Then, it shot off into the sky and out of sight, making a slight sound.”
The sound was very odd.
“The sound itself is hard to explain, a bit like the swishing displacement of air and a bit like a humming/pulsing sound. The sight of the saucer terrified me and I never asked my older brother if he saw it too.”
The event caused so much fear in the witness that he kept the sighting to himself.

“So deeply rooted was my fear that I kept it to myself for all of my adolescent life and refused to believe in the reality of the UFO phenomenon. However, my denial couldn’t make me forget. But it was not until my second sighting nine years later that I began to seriously start researching the subject and come to terms with my experience.”
Lee County, Alabama, has a population of 140,247.
Many other witnesses came forward to a variety of MUFON members and speakers detailing their personal UFO experiences. Some of those stories will be told here in the future.
In 1952 shortly after a spectacular series of confrontations between US Air Force Jet interceptors and unidentified radar targets over White House air space, US Army General Samford, head of intelligence fielded questions by the US press corps along with Air Force General Roger Ramey. In a key point made by General Samford he stated that no known project on earth was responsible for the appearance of the UFO phenomenon. He also acknowledged that a certain number of sightings were inexplicable through the course of analysis by military interviewers. You might recall General Roger Ramey who accompanied Samford had previously derailed the Roswell crash by labeling it as a weather balloon.
Conspicuously absent
While conducting the largest military press conference since World War II at the Roger Smith Hotel in Washington DC it is interesting to note that Captain Edward Ruppelt, Director of Project Blue Book was conspicuously absent from that affair. As a matter of fact, Ruppelt according to his book, “The Report On UFO’s” released in 1956 describes his frustration in not being able to get sufficient per diem for travel to the crucial public address over the UFO mystery, and was stuck trying to phone in procedure through base operators to no avail. This has caused many critics to allege that Captain Ruppelt was intentionally precluded from participating in the conference. Perhaps his objective point of view and efforts to that effect by high command has hastened the decision to keep him from making any controversial public statements.
Shocking admission within Washington DC
In 1947 Air Force General Nathan F. Twining after reviewing evidence connected with the Roswell crash and having been placed in that geographic location by forensic investigators based upon analysis of records decades later, issued a shocking intelligence estimate to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon. In his evaluation, flying saucers were real, not illusionary, they our performed the best aircraft fielded by the US military, they were generally elliptical in configuration, did not seem to make propulsion sounds though some roaring noises has been detected in some instances, and seemed to have a polished metallic surface according to many observers. Twining, according to Philip J. Corso, in his book, “The Day After Roswell” notes that General Twining seems to marvel at the technical capability of the flying saucer. Once again in his intelligence estimate corroborated years later by General John Samford, there seems to be no secret project capable of producing this kind of mechanism on earth.
Prevailing opinion in hush hush
So, very early in the annals of military intelligence ranks there seems to be a consistent consensus that the origin of the UFO or Flying Saucer seems to be extraterrestrial. Captain Edward Ruppelt commented more than once during the course of his book, “The Report On UFO’s” that it was an unspoken opinion by many high ranking officers in the armed services aware of the flying saucer mystery that indeed there was no other explanation. They were from somewhere else not here. Though this alone may have sent shockwaves through the channels of command still conventional considerations had to be considered. The Soviets could use the American public’s fascination with UFO’s to concoct a campaign of confusion during a first strike scenario. This consideration was taken into account even though no definite indications of hostile intentions or threats to national security by the phenomenon itself had been detected.
A question of official admission
Let us consider as well in 1952, aside from the Director of the CIA, Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoeter, who would later make a shocking admission to the New York Times newspaper in 1960 that the public had been misled over the reality of UFO’s, General John Samford was the highest ranking expert on military intelligence. His admission that UFO’s in some cases were unexplained and not considered a threat is given weight by his rank and the corroborations of his colleagues, General Twining and others.
Dissemination
It is to be expected that the US military intelligence corps would be working on several levels in order to mitigate the UFO problem. They would want to analyze the technical capabilities. Writer, the late John A. Keel in his book “Operation Trojan Horse” had discovered an early CIA memorandum speculating that flying saucers used some form of electro-magnetic propulsion early on. That UFO’s would have to be dismissed and demystified as hoaxes and misperceptions in the eyes of the US public would be another angle to be covered. Yet, within the internal ranks of the armed services a compartmentalized approach to the flying saucer problem would need to be addressed. Those on a need to know basis, would have to be informed when necessary under strict parameters of internal secrecy.
Majestic 12
These protocols were allegedly addressed by the infamous MJ-12 panel, a carefully selected group of scientific and military command specialists who would preside over the UFO problem and come up with answers over how to manage the release of information or to withhold knowledge from the general public when necessary. An ongoing counter intelligence corps operation would constantly accompany the illusive UFO through-out the decades to come. Yet, in light of this constant disinformation feed came the brilliant work of Philip J. Corso’s superior, General Arthur Trudeau. General Trudeau saw to it that the sequestered Roswell “artifacts” as they were referred to in the military were cunningly handed off to US defense contractors as captured foreign technology that required back engineering. According to Corso, our rapid technological ascent over recent decades has been largely due to the technical revelations gleaned from the Roswell crash debris.
Maintaining the veil of secrecy
In all this, not only did the US military craftily hide the existence of several purported UFO crashes, but in the meantime ridiculed reports in the eyes of the public, sometimes even victimizing their own aviators and witnesses in the process. The case of Bob Lazar is a classic example of counter intelligence corps work. Lazar was quickly marginalized in the eyes of the public after the incredible revelations he divulged form his work as a contractor at Area 51. Lazar alleged that not only had he worked on the project to back engineer alien space craft, but described the procedures, and how he was introduced to the project. Bob Lazar even revealed specific dates and times to friends as he escorted them to vantage points where they would see actual flight testing of these alien ships.
The saga of Bob Lazar
Bob Lazar was quickly removed from the project and marginalized once it was discovered he had violated his clearance level. Once again military intelligence procedures were used to erase Lazar’s employment records, educational background, and proof of connections with the project he had participated in at Area 51 on the S-4 section. A federal judge commented upon presiding over his case against the US government that it was incredible how little of Lazar’s background could be found. Bob did produce a DOD pay stub as evidence though virtually his entire history had been scrubbed for all intents and purposes.
In part II we will delve further into the equally mysterious world of military intelligence used to dismiss the UFO phenomena and those proponents who want to divulge the sacred knowledge to the general public.

“Return to Hangar” Former Megadeath drummer Nick Menza says “I was standing in my front yard with my two boys and this what we saw. not sure what it is but it’s totally awesome!”
Nick Menza is an American drummer best known for his work in Megadeth from 1989 to 1998, appearing on five of the band’s studio albums.
As the son of jazz musician Don Menza, Nick began playing drums at the age of two, at which age he performed at his first public concert when during the intermission someone sat him down on Jack DeJohnette’s drums and he proceeded to play. His influences stem from being nurtured around the tutelage of such notables as Buddy Rich, Steve Gadd, Nick Ceroli, Jeff Porcaro and Louie Bellson.

Beginning his professional musical career at the age of 18 drumming in the band Rhoads featuring singer Kelle Rhoads, brother of the late Randy Rhoads, Nick released his first record with Rhoads called Into The Future in Europe.
Seattle attorney Andrew Basiago has been publicly making the claim since 2004 that between the ages of seven and twelve years old he participated in a secret U.S. government program that worked on teleportation and time travel under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency called Project Pegasus, a precursor to the Montauk Project and the Philadelphia Experiment.
He claims to have traveled to Ford’s Theatre the night of President Lincoln’s assassination five or six times, and was captured in a photograph at Gettysburg in 1863
.
Though Basiago claims to have experienced eight different time travel technologies, most travel involved a teleporter based on technical papers supposedly found in pioneering mechanical engineer Nikola Tesla’s New York City apartment after his death in January 1943. The teleporter “consisted of two gray elliptical booms about eight feet tall, separated by about 10 feet, between which a shimmering curtain of what Tesla called ‘radiant energy’ was broadcast,” Basiago says. “Radiant energy is a form of energy that Tesla discovered that is latent and pervasive in the universe and has among its properties the capacity to bend time-space.”
Basiago said each of his visits to the past was different, “like they were sending us to slightly different alternative realities on adjacent timelines. As these visits began to accumulate, I twice ran into myself during two different visits.”
Being sent back in time to the same place and moment, but from different starting points in the present, allowed two of himselves to be in Ford’s Theatre at the same time in 1865.
“After the first of these two encounters with myself occurred, I was concerned that my cover might be blown,” he recalled. “Unlike the jump to Gettysburg, in which I was clutching a letter to Navy Secretary Gideon Welles to offer me aid and assistance in the event I was arrested, I didn’t have any explanatory materials when I was sent to Ford’s Theatre.”
Basiago’s claims are supported by Alfred Webre, a lawyer specializing in “exopolitics,” or the political implications surrounding an extraterrestrial presence on Earth. Webre says teleportation and time travel have been around for 40 years, but are hoarded by the Defense Department instead of being used to transfer goods and services.
Hopi-mythologie: de komst van de blauwe ster Kachina en 'vliegende schilden'
Hopi-mythologie: de komst van de blauwe ster Kachina en ‘vliegende schilden’
De Hopituh Shi-nu-mu (Hopi) vormen een indianenvolk in het vierstatenpunt in het noordoosten van Arizona. Ze stammen af van de Pueblo-indianen en wonen middenin het reservaat van de Navajo. Er zijn ongeveer 18.000 Hopi verdeeld over 11 autonome dorpen.
Eén van de groepen Pueblo-indianen, de Anasazi, leefde tussen 550 en 1300 in het gebied en verdween op mysterieuze wijze. De Hopi vormen één van de oudste culturen ter wereld. Hun oorspronkelijke naam, Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, betekent het ‘vredige volk’. Hopi betekent ‘goed, vreedzaam en wijs’. Ze leven volgens de wetten van de Schepper, Maasaw. De Hopi geloven dat de goden uit de grond kwamen, in tegenstelling tot andere mythologieën waarbij goden uit de lucht kwamen.
De Hopi geloven in een eeuwige cyclus van schepping en vernietiging. Hierdoor worden er onophoudelijk werelden geschapen en vernietigd. De eerste wereld werd vernietigd door vuur, de tweede door vorst en de derde door een zondvloed. Wij leven in de vierde wereld, deze wereld zou vol met pijn, leed en erg hard zijn.
De Hopi overleefden de vernietiging van de derde wereld door zich ondergronds terug te trekken. Ze deden dat door het teken van Maasaw aan de hemel te volgen. Dit zal nog tweemaal gebeuren, maar alleen zij met een puur hart kunnen deze plek betreden. Toen Maasaw landde maakte hij een petroglief van een vrouw aan boord van een ‘schip zonder vleugels’. Op de dag van de zuivering zouden de ware Hopi aan boord van deze schepen zonder vleugels naar andere planeten vliegen.
Ondergronds leven de miermensen, zij worden beschreven als bleek met grote hoofden en zwarte ogen. Ze hebben kleine lichaampjes, met dunne armen en soms zes vingers. De miermensen tonen verbazend veel overeenkomst met de Greys uit moderne ontvoeringsverhalen, ufologie en de popcultuur.
De Hopi spreken ook over vliegende schilden (patuwvotas), die in staat waren om steden aan te vallen en grote afstanden konden overbruggen. Er zijn veel overeenkomsten tussen deze schilden en moderne stealthvliegtuigen of vliegende schotels.
De blauwe ster Kachina is binnen de Hopi-mythologie een geest die de komst van het begin van de nieuwe wereld markeert. Deze geest zou verschijnen in de vorm van een blauwe ster. Dat is het negende en laatste teken voor de ‘dag van de zuivering’, waarop de oude wereld wordt vernietigd en een nieuwe ontstaat. De negen tekenen zijn in 1958 opgesomd door een Hopi-oudste.
NASA test 'vliegende schotel' voor Marsmissie - HLN.be
NASA test 'vliegende schotel' voor Marsmissie - HLN
Een voertuig van NASA is na een geslaagde test in de Grote Oceaan bij Hawaï gestort. Wetenschappers die bij het experiment betrokken waren, hopen zowel het voertuig als bijbehorende parachute in de toekomst te gebruiken voor Marsmissies.
Het schotelvormige voertuig, de Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD), bereikte een hoogte van 55 kilometer. Op die hoogte is de atmosfeer vergelijkbaar met de omgeving op Mars. Belangstellenden konden het traject van het object dankzij videocamera's aan boord live volgen.
Drie uur na de lancering landde het testvoertuig intact in de oceaan, dankzij een parachute met een diameter van 33 meter. Dat is twee keer zo groot als de parachute die in 2011 werd gebruikt bij de Marsmissie met de Curiosity.
Het experiment kostte 150 miljoen dollar en was vanwege harde wind al zes keer uitgesteld. NASA is van plan de test nog een aantal keer te herhalen en besluit daarna of het voertuig daadwerkelijk naar Mars zal worden gestuurd.
New Q&A with Nick Redfern on “Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind: Suspicious Deaths, Mysterious Murders, and Bizarre Disappearances in UFO History” due out June 23rd from New Page Books.
1. Can you tell us about the suspicious deaths that surround the Roswell UFO crash of July 1947?
ANSWER: In the book I talk about the suicides and early deaths of a number of people involved in the Roswell case. They were deaths that extended from 1947 to the 1980s, and included one of the sons of rancher Mack Brazel (who found the strange debris in Lincoln County, New Mexico), and a woman named Miriam Bush, who was found dead in a hotel room in 1989. She was the executive secretary at the Roswell base hospital back in 1947 and confided in her family that she saw small, strange bodies brought into the hospital in the summer of 1947.
2. What is the truth behind the deaths of two military personnel involved in the recovery of alleged UFO debris at Maury Island, Washington State in 1947?
ANSWER: The Maury Island case is a very weird one. It focuses on the alleged mid-air explosion of a flying saucer over Maury Island in June 1947. Harold Dahl, the man who recovered some of the debris that rained down, was threatened by a Man in Black. Two military investigators, 1st Lt. Frank Mercer Brown and Capt. William Lee Davidson, were killed when their aircraft – carrying the debris to Wright Field for analysis – crashed. Two local media men died in the wake of the affair too: Ted Morello and Paul Lance. Extensive files on the case have surfaced from the FBI, via the Freedom of Information Act.
3. Were aliens responsible for the death of National Guard Captain Thomas Mantell in 1948?
ANSWER: This is an incident that has very much polarized the UFO research community, in terms of what actually happened, to the point where it still remains unresolved in the minds of many. It’s the strange saga of pilot Capt. Thomas P. Mantell, who lost his life in 1948 while chasing a UFO high in the skies of Kentucky. Or while pursuing a balloon or Venus. Take your pick. The theories are several. The answers, however, are still debated and disputed. But, for many people in Ufology, the Mantell death is perceived as an early example of death by UFO.
4. Will you discuss the theories that the reported suicide of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in 1949 was actually a case of murder presumably to prevent him revealing the truth about UFOs?
ANSWER: It was at 1.50 a.m. on May 22, 1949 that the life of one of the most significant figures in the history of the U.S. Government came to a crashing end. The battered body of James Forrestal, who had the honor of being the first United States Secretary of Defense, was found lying on a third-floor canopy of the Maryland-based Bethesda Naval Hospital. Forrestal had reportedly flung himself out of a window on the 16th floor. Forrestal’s death, some UFO researchers have said, might have been nothing less than a case of cold-hearted murder, something prompted by fears that the Secretary of Defense was on the verge of revealing to the world what he secretly knew about the UFO phenomenon.
5. Please tell us about the spate of mysterious UFO-connected deaths involving pilots in 1953.
ANSWER: Around 9.30 a.m. on November 10, 1953, Karl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson – both UFO investigators – hired a small airplane and took to the skies of Los Angeles, supposedly to meet with extraterrestrials at a prearranged site. It was the last time either man was seen alive. It was the last time the aircraft was seen, too. Less than two weeks after Hunrath and Wilkinson went missing, two baffling and deadly events occurred in Wisconsin. They both involving military jets, one of which crashed and the other vanished, never to be seen again – and both on the same day. Both events have been linked to the alleged deadly actions of UFOs.
6. Was author/researcher Morris Jessup murdered in 1959 as a result of his UFO investigations?
ANSWER: In 1959, one of the most controversial of all UFO-related deaths occurred: that of flying saucer investigator and author Morris K. Jessup. While the official story is that Jessup’s death was suicide (he was found dead in his car in a Florida park), ufologists have said there are solid grounds for believing that it was far more than that – nothing less than a case of full-blown murder. The reason: to keep Jessup away from certain UFO secrets that powerful players wanted kept hidden.
7. What are the connections between the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the UFO controversy?
ANSWER: Without doubt the most sensational story in the book that suggests a link between a suspicious death and flying saucers is that of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated on November 22, 1963 at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. As incredible as it may sound, the JFK killing is absolutely littered with spies, spooks and secret agents who were deeply linked to the UFO phenomenon, one of them being a man named Fred Crisman, a mysterious character who was also involved in the Maury Island controversy. Was the president shot to prevent him from going public about what he knew of alien visitations? Don’t bet against it, as incredible as such a possibility may admittedly sound.
8. How and why did a British man named Edward Bryant die in 1967 after encountering a UFO and its crew?
ANSWER: In April 1965, Edward Bryant claimed to have encountered a flying saucer hovering, at very low level, over a field near his home in Devon, England. He was reportedly confronted by a trio of humanoid beings, dressed in head-gear and silver outfits somewhat akin to those worn by deep-sea divers, and that were standing around the significantly-sized saucer. There are strong indications that Bryant’s experience was actually the result of a military psy-op, involving microwave technology that led Bryant to develop a brain tumor that ultimately killed him.
9. Is it true that people have been mutilated and killed by aliens in similar fashion to the so-called cattle mutilations?
ANSWER: One of the most graphically nightmarish accounts that falls into the human mutilation category came from the late Leonard Stringfield. Stringfield’s source for the story was a high-ranking military officer who described a shocking event that reportedly occurred in Cambodia during the Vietnam War. It was in April 1972 when a violent and grisly confrontation with a group of extraterrestrials that can best, and accurately, be called cosmic butchers took place. They were confronted loading human body-parts into huge bins. There are many more such reports on file.
10. What really happened to missing Australian pilot Frederick Valentich in 1978?
ANSWER: Eerily paralleling the November 1953 affair of Karl Hunrath and Wilbur Wilkinson, in October 1978 a young Australian pilot named Frederick Valentich disappeared over Australia’s Bass Strait. That Valentich vanished shortly after seeing a UFO at extremely close quarters has given rise to the theory that he was the victim of nothing less than a cosmic kidnapping. A fascinating, official file, now in the public domain, tells the story of this still-unsolved case.
