RENDLESHAM UFO: Startling new evidence 'could solve Britain's Roswell once and for all'
RENDLESHAM UFO: Startling new evidence 'could solve Britain's Roswell once and for all'
SHOCKING new evidence has come forward that claims to PROVE once and for all that aliens DID visit a military base in the UK when a mass sighting of UFOs allegedly took place.
Two former military technicians have claimed a UFO WAS caught on radar and seen from the control tower of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge as well as in Rendlesham Forest, near Woodbridge, in Suffolk.
The claims are made in a new documentary which tries to tie up evidence linking UFO and alien visitations with nuclear facilities on Earth.
UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, which is available to view online on Vimeo, is the culmination of years of investigation by researcher Robert Hastings, who penned the book UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites.
The film makes the case that alleged UFO crews have maintained a consistent interest in nuclear facilities on Earth.
There have been numerous alleged sightings by serving and former military personal and other witnesses of supposed UFOs over such installations for several decades.
The documentary says that nuclear weapons were being stored at Bentwaters at the time of the Rendlesham incident.
It has been dubbed Britain's Roswell after the mystery and infamouus UFO crash that allegedly happened outside the town in New Mexico, USA in July 1947.
The RAF bases were leased by the USAF at the time.
The UK alien sighting happened when three US officers based at RAF Bentwaters claimed a "triangular shaped craft" landed in neighbouring woods in the early hours of December 26 1980.
Retired Colonel Charles Halt, 76, who was base deputy commander at the time, claimed the officers who first saw the lights, and then a UFO "on the floor", could not account for a 40 minute period while searching in the woods when their communication systems went "off air".
The three officers - John Burroughs, Bud Steffens, and James Penniston, later told of feeling "static" as they observed the object's flashing lights and hieroglyphic-like markings.
Mr Halt then said on the evening of December 27 1980 that officers had shouted: "It's back, the UFO's back."
Mr Halt went to investigate with a team who found three 1.5inch "impact holes," damage to the canopies of trees and "higher radiation levels" in the "landing" area.
A plaster cast was later taken of one of the holes, but mysteriously disappeared from a box it was stored in.
He said soon after they saw a mysterious object in a field between the woods and a farmhouse with "a red light moving."
He said: "It came towards us into the forest, moving, bobbing up and down in the trees. It was oval, about 100 to 150 yards away, with a dark centre and red around it."
He claimed there were "sparks" coming from it and after a minute it "exploded and disappeared."
They then spotted objects in the sky, 3,000 to 4,000ft up.
It’s not like any radar target I have ever seen. When the sweep would hit the target, you would have the entire back of it would be like a solid line.
Rendlesham witness Ike Barker
The case was later investigated by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), but it concluded there was no evidence of alien visitations or any national security risk, and the sightings were most likely the result of beams of light from a nearby coastal lighthouse.
The new claims in the film appear to back up those made by Mr Holt last July when he appeared at a Rendlesham UFO conference, in Woodbridge, Suffolk, to mark the 35th anniversary of the sighting last July.
The new documentary says, at the time, RAF Bentwaters was the "largest American tactical nuclear bomb depot in Europe".
In an interview with Open Minds UFO Radio, Mr Hastings said in 2006 he noticed there had never been any testimony from air traffic controllers at the time about anything being caught on radar.
He tracked down who was manning the radars and control tower at the time and identified them as Jim Carey and Ike Barker.
The pair reveal their testimonies in the video for the first time, claiming a UFO was caught on radar, and that they saw it.
Mr Carey described seeing an object on radar when Mr Halt was in the forest.
He said: "I was just sitting there and I happened to see a dot come on the scope, and it just went one dot in the beginning, and another dot, another dot, and it was gone.
“All of a sudden, here it come back across again.
“It went one, two and then an immediate right hand turn and came right towards the base. I just said that can’t be one of ours. No jet at that speed can make an immediate right hand turn. Just absolutely phenomenal.”
Mr Barker said: “It’s not like any radar target I have ever seen. When the sweep would hit the target, you would have the entire back of it would be like a solid line.
“Traveling at an extremely high rate of speed, it passed over the control tower and then it stopped. I’ve never seen anything in my life like the manoeuverability that happened with this object.”
He said it was “orangish”, adding: “It sort of popped into my mind at the time that somebody is flying a basketball out here.
“There were lights around the centre of it, but it wasn’t like running lights or navigational lights. It was more like portholes, and you were seeing the light from the inside coming out. It wasn’t flashing lights or anything.
“It hovered momentarily, reversed its course, and went back out at a high rate of speed.”
The documentary also reveals documents originating in the former Soviet Union that it claims show similar UFO events at nuclear bases happened there.

Clinton and Bush insider spills beans on 'inexplicable UFOs' Government REFUSED to probe
Clinton and Bush insider spills beans on 'inexplicable UFOs' Government REFUSED to probe
A DECORATED former senior national security chief has revealed shocking new details about unexplained UFO sightings that the US Government FAILED to investigate'.
Christopher Mellon worked under the Clinton and George W Bush administrations
Christopher Mellon, who served for almost twenty years in the US federal government in a series of national security positions roles under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W Bush, has spoken publicly for the first time about his knowledge of the US Government's involvement with aliens and UFOs.
Mr Mellon, who had high-level clearance, was on a committee with oversight of all Department of Defence (DoD) special access programmes and spent a decade on the Senate Intelligence Committee, has given rare answers to detailed questions on the subject as interest in the UFO subject continues to rise globally.
Mr Mellon, who in a gamekeeper-turned-poacher move joined the board of a serious UFO investigation body six months ago, described his frustration at the government's lack of proper investigation of what he described as inexplicable UFO sightings.
And his detailed answers to a series of questions from the board of UFO Data have been made public by the organisation.
In a recent Q&A interview, published on Huff Post, Mr Mellon, who received a string of service awards, including the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal, told how a "breathless naval aviator" called him to report seeing a Naval jet land after it was circled by a UFO in broad daylight.
Mr Mellon said: "The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell.
"I also recall the Maui Optical Tracking Facility, which tracks satellites, recording a flight of four or five fiery UFOs traversing the night sky.
"Nobody knew what to make of it. But no government official expressed the slightest interest even after the tape was featured on ABC’s 'Nightline'.
"I found the utter lack of scientific curiosity due to political correctness highly frustrating."
He said in 2006 pilots and airport staff saw a "disc-shaped object hovering over O’Hare airport.... for over five minutes.
"Yet no government investigation was undertaken," he said in the interview.
Mr Mellon is now calling for a proper scientific investigation of the existence of UFOs and aliens.
He said: "I think we have to ask ourselves a key question, and then bring it forward. 'Are there UFO cases that are sufficiently well-documented to warrant a scientific investigation of the phenomenon?' In my view, the answer is yes.
He believes the number of credible witness reports over so long, coupled with accounts from military and police personnel and the amount of recorded footage and independent radar data correlates too closely with reported sightings to ignore.
He said: "When someone you trust and respect, like a naval aviator, looks you in the eye and tells you he saw something truly extraordinary at close range, it’s hard not to take his testimony seriously.
"It is arrogant, unreasonable and unwise to dismiss such reports. We should simply and impartially follow the trail wherever it leads."
But, despite his frustration at investigations not being conducted by the authorities into UFO sightings, he is convinced the alleged US government cover-up over UFO sightings is not happening.
For years, alien chasers have accused world leaders and space agencies like NASA of knowing aliens visit the Earth, but refusing to tell the general population for fear of the impact it may have on religion and public order.
But Mr Mellon suggested it was quite the opposite, with little or no interest in the subject from within the corridors of power.
He said: "I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information."
Conspiracists believe that a flying saucer with aliens inside crashed at Roswell in new Mexico in 1947, and it was covered up as a 'weather balloon' before the remains of the craft and bodies were taken for experimentation at the top-secret USAF bas at Area 51.
But Mr Mellon poured cold water on these theories.
He said: "I spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence programme, an almost totally separate world of secrets.
"During all those years I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs."
TOMORROW: Don't miss Christopher Mellon reveal truth about the "UFO cover up and Area 51"

Schokkend nieuw bewijs kan ‘UFO-mysterie rond Brits Roswell voor eens en voor altijd oplossen’
Schokkend nieuw bewijs kan ‘UFO-mysterie rond Brits Roswell voor eens en voor altijd oplossen’
Hebben Britse legerbases in de jaren tachtig bezoek gehad van aliens? Twee oud-legertechnici beweren een UFO te hebben vastgelegd op de radar én te hebben gezien vanuit de radartoren op RAF Bentwaters en RAF Woodbridge. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.
Ze doen deze bewering in een nieuwe documentaire waarin wordt gesteld dat UFO’s kerninstallaties nauwlettend in de gaten houden. Volgens de film zijn de bemanningen van de UFO’s zeer geïnteresseerd in de nucleaire installaties op onze planeet.
In de documentaire wordt geclaimd dat ten tijde van de waarnemingen kernwapens lagen opgeslagen op RAF Bentwaters. De legerbases werden indertijd geleased aan de Amerikaanse luchtmacht.
Hiërogliefachtige tekens
Op 26 december 1980 zagen drie Amerikaanse soldaten die gestationeerd waren op RAF Bentwaters een ‘driehoekig schip’ dat in Rendlesham Forest, een nabijgelegen bos, landde. Kolonel Charles Halt (76) was toen plaatsvervangend commandant van de basis. Hij zei dat de communicatiesystemen uitvielen toen de lichten verschenen.
De drie soldaten die de UFO als eerste zagen – John Burroughs, Bud Steffens en James Penniston – voelden naar eigen zeggen statische elektriciteit toen ze naar de knipperende lichten en de hiërogliefachtige tekens keken.
Halt stelde een team samen om onderzoek te verrichten en ontdekte gaten in de grond waar de UFO was geland, schade aan boomtoppen en hogere stralingswaarden in het landingsgebied. Van één van de gaten werd een gipsafdruk gemaakt, maar die verdween later op mysterieuze wijze.
‘Absoluut fenomenaal’
In de nieuwe documentaire wordt gesteld dat RAF Bentwaters indertijd het grootste Amerikaanse kernwapendepot in Europa was. Robert Hastings, de maker van de film, spoorde de technici op die ten tijde van het incident de radar bedienden.
De technici, Jim Carey en Ike Barker, onthullen dat er destijds een UFO is vastgelegd op radar en dat ze het object hebben gezien. Carey zag naar eigen zeggen een object op de radar toen Halt in het bos was.
“In het begin ging het om één stip, maar toen kwam er nog een stip, en nog één, tot ze plotseling verdwenen,” zei hij. “Opeens was de stip weer terug. Het object maakte een scherpe bocht naar rechts en kwam recht op de basis af. Ik zei dat dat niemand van ons kon zijn. Geen enkel vliegtuig kan met zo’n hoge snelheid zo’n scherpe bocht naar rechts maken. Absoluut fenomenaal.”
Sovjet-Unie
Barker maakte uit de radarbeelden op dat het object zich met extreem hoge snelheid voortbewoog. Het vloog over de radartoren en bleef vervolgens hangen. “Ik heb nog nooit een object zo zien manoeuvreren,” zei hij, toevoegende dat het een oranjekleurig object was.
“Rond het midden bevonden zich lichten, maar dat waren geen navigatielichten,” zei hij. “Het waren meer luiken, je zag het licht van binnen naar buiten komen. Ze knipperden niet.”
“Het bleef even hangen, keerde om en vloog met zeer hoge snelheid weer weg.”
De documentaire onthult dat er in de Sovjet-Unie soortgelijke incidenten met UFO’s zijn geweest in de buurt van nucleaire bases.
Government insider looks for UFOs, doesn’t find them at Area 51
Government insider looks for UFOs, doesn’t find them at Area 51
A man who spent 20 years working in national security for the federal government has recently joined a group of scientist searching for evidence of UFOs. In a recent interview, he says he has been interested in the topic since childhood, and in all his time in the government, he has found no evidence of a cover-up. That includes Area 51, which he has visited in an official capacity.

The government insider’s name is Chris Mellon. An interview with Mellon by author and journalist Leslie Kean was posted as a Huffington Post blog, earlier this week. According to the blog post, Mellon worked for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other intelligence organizations, where he received a number of awards, including the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal and the Defense Intelligence Agency Director’s Medal.
Mellon told Kean, he has also had a lifetime interest in UFOs. His curiosity began when he saw a convincing UFO film captured by a friend of his school’s principal.
“It showed a huge, golden disc-shaped object serenely moving through sunny, blue skies, passing through cumulous clouds in a manner that would be very hard to fake,” Mellon recalled. “I have no idea what became of the movie, but it filled me with wonder and awe.”

Mellon says that after seeing the movie, he began reading everything he could get his hands on about UFOs. He even did a research project on UFOs in college.
Throughout his professional career, Mellon says he kept his UFO interests to himself.
One topic Kean was interested in discussing with Mellon was the presidential election. In particular,Clinton’s comments regarding her willingness to look for UFO files if she becomes president. Mellon said he did not think Clinton would be given access to any classified programs involving UFOs, if they even exist.
“I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented DoD programs and were flatly refused. Access to such programs is on a need to know basis,” explained Mellon. “In general, nobody outside DoD, including the Secretary of State, is deemed to have a need to know. Officials like John Podesta and Secretary Clinton can easily serve for years in senior positions and be avid consumers of classified intelligence analysis but never obtain access to DoD’s compartmented programs, which mostly relate to new weapons systems.”
Even if Clinton were able to gain access to information on classified programs, in all of his years working with secret programs, Mellon found nothing to convince him there is a hidden UFO project. Not even during his visits to Area 51.

“I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information,” Mellon told Kean. “I participated in a comprehensive review of DoD’s black programs and spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence program, an almost totally separate world of secrets. I visited Area 51 and other military, intelligence and research facilities. During all those years, I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs.”
Although, Mellon was unaware of any official government UFO program, he says there are several credible incidents that, he believes, makes the UFO phenomenon worthy of scientific study. These include a UFO incident witnessed by police officers in 1989, and a wave of triangle-shaped UFOs seen over Belgium that was investigated by their military.
He also recalled an interesting UFO report he received during his career.
Mellon recounted, “Knowing of my interest in UFOs, a breathless naval aviator called me one day to report that he was present minutes earlier when a Navy jet landed after being circled by a UFO in broad daylight. The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell.”

The obvious question is, why would the Navy not pursue such a remarkable event?
“In my experience, on those rare occasions when UFO incidents involving the government occur, they are highly inconvenient, awkward and embarrassing for the afflicted government officials who want nothing more than to put the issue behind them as quickly as possible,” Mellon explained. “The military seems generally unwilling to investigate even when UFO reports come from our own military pilots or officials in high office such as Fife Symington, the former governor of Arizona. Senior officials are so fearful of being ridiculed that they conceal any expression of interest or curiosity.”
Mellon believes that in an environment where the military is not willing to touch the topic of UFOs, it is up to the public to find answers.
“In my view, calling for the end to an alleged government UFO cover-up is almost certainly a dead end, and does not help inspire anyone in government to become more open to the topic,” says Mellon.
Instead, Mellon has joined the board of a group calling itself UFODATA. They are a group of scientists and researchers who are planning to put together UFO listening posts that can be deployed across the planet. These stations will be able to collect telemetry on unidentified objects to help determine what they are.
According to Mellon, “UFODATA’s findings, one way or another, can help us to resolve this perennial mystery and perhaps even help us to better understand the universe and mankind’s place within it.”

British witness ties ghostly encounter to UFO sighting
British witness ties ghostly encounter to UFO sighting
A British witness at St. Just, Cornwall, recalled a UFO incident from 1993 that added to a larger puzzle suggesting a time portal opened up in the area, according to testimony in Case 75940 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness and her now-late husband had driven to their favorite spot on the cliffs at Botallack near St. Just at dinner time about 6:30 p.m. on October 23, 1993, when the first incident took place.
“We had bought fish and chips to eat in our old MG car out on the cliffs,” the witness stated. “It was a beautiful evening and we were the only people parked there. As we looked out at the view of the cliffs, old tin mines and the Atlantic Ocean crashing in, we suddenly noticed somebody walking up the cliff path.”
The two were confused as they looked at this person.
“Walking up the cliffs was an olden times smuggler from the 1700/1800’s period. The best way to describe this is if you Google ‘Poldark,’ that is the era. What we could see was a man, in a black Tri-Star hat, long black, old smuggler-type coat, a long wooden staff in his left hand and a small barrel/keg under his right arm. We both looked at each other and then back to him walking up the coast path.
The witness referenced Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark in the Masterpiece hit series, ‘Poldark.’
“Both confused at what we were looking at, I said to my husband, ‘Maybe there is a party somewhere?’ If you knew the location, you would know that was at the best a long shot.”
They continued to watch the person walk up the path.
“As he reached the adjoining path he was suddenly gone! Into thin air! We did not lose sight of him at any time. And then he was gone! All I can tell you is that what we saw was as solid, as solid as you and I, although neither of us remember seeing features on a face, or to be honest, even a face. We knew that what we had just seen was unexplainable and couldn’t get our minds around it. It wasn’t until we were driving home that I said, ‘Did we just see a ghost?’”
The two wondered about their encounter, and later questioned whether it was related to a second event at the same site.
“About a week later, there was a big storm blowing with really strong gale force ‘inland’ winds. The sea was crashing in and the wind was too strong to get out of the car as you couldn’t stand. We sat in our car when we noticed behind us a white ball, approximately 7 to 8 inches. You could see it was spinning furiously, but (the storm) was not causing it to move in the slightest.”
The witness described the object.
“It was approximately 15 feet away from us and six feet off of the ground. The strangest thing was, that the gale force inland wind was not making it move at all, yet we couldn’t even stand up in it! The ‘ball’ didn’t move for about two minutes, then it slowly moved directly upwards by about four feet, again it hovered on the spot for several minutes before moving directly down again by three or four feet where again it hovered for a time. It then rose into the air by approximately eight feet, again directly in a straight line and totally unaffected by the wind. It hovered for about three minutes before shooting inland at a 90-degree angle and out of sight.”

The two were shocked by what they had seen and sat silently in their car.
“I think after what had happened the previous week, we thought it must be ‘ghost’ connected? For years the memory of what happened has never left us and I can still see the events in detail. I’ve tried to look for answers, but can’t find any. I only realized recently that ‘the ball’ was an Unidentified Flying Object of some sort. So I have decided to record this with yourselves. The whole of Cornwall is built on granite and so is extremely quartz rich. I often questioned myself as to if there could have been some kind of portal open up? I hope that this piece of my jigsaw might fit somewhere in all the other events out there. Thank you.”

This video shows an object falling from the sky slowly and at an angle that fits that of a UFO or space junk falling more than that of a meteorite, but its explosion makes me think meteor. Are aliens trying to attack ISIS to protect the world or was this a meteor? Tell us your thoughts on this one in the comments bellow. www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Intriguing security camera footage from Turkey shows a mysterious glowing object briefly descending through the air before seemingly exploding and lighting up the night sky. The event occurred in an area of the country that is near the Syrian border and very close to a region currently controlled by ISIS. Despite what appeared to be an enormous blast, local officials claim no debris was found in the area and suggested that it was a natural event.

Senator Barry Goldwater Admits There Is A UFO Cover-Up, Interview Video, UFO Sighting News.
Above shows Senator Barry Goldwater and President Nixon.
Date of interview: 1994 Location of interview: Larry King Show This video takes me way back. This interview was taken way back in 1994, so it goes to show you how long govt officials high up have known about UFOs and how much they detest keeping a secret that is equal to a crime against humanity. Sometimes we need a reminder in life. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Video states: Goldwater had a fascination for the UFO issue, and, throughout his life and career, made more than a few notable comments and observations on the subject. The bulk of them revolved around his attempts to determine the truth about longstanding rumors that something of a UFO nature (and something of deep significance, too) was secretly held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. The location of whatever this “something” may have been has variously been termed as “Hangar 18” and the “Blue Room.” On March 28, 1975, Goldwater wrote the following, highly thought-provoking, words to a UFO researcher named Shlomo Arnon: “The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some long time. About ten or twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied this request. It is still classified above Top Secret.” On more than a few occasions, the subject of UFOs featured heavily on Larry King Live. On one occasion, specifically in 1994, the person that King had on his show to talk about UFOs was none other than Goldwater himself, who told King: “I think at Wright-Patterson, if you could get into certain places, you’d find out what the Air Force and the government does know about UFOs. Reportedly, a spaceship landed. It was all hushed up. I called Curtis LeMay and I said, ‘General, I know we have a room at Wright-Patterson where you put all this secret stuff. Could I go in there?’ I’ve never heard General LeMay get mad, but he got madder than hell at me, cussed me out, and said, ‘Don’t ever ask me that question again!’”

React: Investigating a Year of UFO Sightings Posted on Social Media
Do you believe in aliens?
You might not, but lots of people seem to think they’ve seen the evidence
We took a look at a year’s worth of UFO-related posts on social media and this is what we found.
Where are the aliens?
We broke down mentions by state to see which areas of the country were generating the most UFO conversation.
While California often gets the most mentions because of its large population, it’s not just down to that this time.
A huge chunk of Californian UFO sightings occurred on 7th November when a mysterious light was seen by hundreds of people. It was later confirmed as a Naval missile test but not everyone was convinced.

We found that the gender ratio of UFO-related posts was fairly evenly split.
While they registered just a few posts each, percentage-wise it was Delaware and Connecticut that had the most UFO mentions from males while Hawaii and South Carolina had the most from females.

We found a surprisingly low number of mentions that included the term “Area 51”. Perhaps that’s something we should be concerned about.
Whatever you think of UFOs and aliens, tracking social data surrounding them is a good way to crowdsource personal experiences of eerie occurrences in real time.
This was recorded from my dash cam on May 7th 2016 about 3:00hrs. On I-5 around the 325 mile mark, heading south. I was traveling with three other trucks who also saw this craft. I first saw a light sweep the sky on the right side of this video frame. One swept across the sky and a second one occurred a few seconds later. After the second light the first thing I thought was someone was shinning deer. A couple more second passed and we saw bright white lights on what I thought was a plane moving from right to left out in the distance going across the highway. Maybe 2miles out in front of us, very low to the ground.
It crossed the interstate and climbed in attitude and started to circle heading east and than north, and than south returned to roughly the same place it crossed the interstate and crossed back going west, and than the object and lights disappeared. I kept watching out my passenger window to see if I could spot the lights, but I saw nothing. I turned back to watch the road ahead and talking on the CB with the other driver about the strange way that was flying.
There was something odd about the way it maneuvered. I notice lights reflecting in my passenger window and thought it was from the oncoming traffic, and I glanced over to see what it was and saw this craft coming straight at me. I thought it was going to crash into me at that point. It had three very bright white lights. Like large round spotlights across the font edge of the vehicle.
When I say edge thats all I could make out as it didn’t look to have body or height to it. As it approached It slowed and turned and banked almost in place at the same time, and came up over my truck. It made no sound, it had no wings, no marking lights, no fuselage, no tail, no Plane, no drone, no helicopter.
BEWIJS DAT MYSTERIEUS OBJECT OP BODEM OOSTZEE WEL DEGELIJK EEN UFO IS ( VIDEO )
BEWIJS DAT MYSTERIEUS OBJECT OP BODEM OOSTZEE WEL DEGELIJK EEN UFO IS ( VIDEO )
In januari 2012 maakten wij voor het eerste melding van een onbekend object dat door duikers op de bodem van de Oostzee was aangetroffen en wat enigszins leek op een neergestorte UFO.
Eindelijk komt er iets bovenwater wat je de “smoking gun” zou kunnen noemen waaruit blijkt dat het hier wel degelijk om een UFO gaat.
In de jaren na 2012 hebben we regelmatig de voortgang van het onderzoek gevolgd, zoals in een artikel uit 2013:
Wie nog eens de hele historie wil lezen over het mysterieuze object op de bodem van de Oostzee, raden wij aan om dit eerdere artikel te lezen. Op de volgende foto zie je hoe het eerste object er ongeveer uitziet. De grootte is vergelijkbaar met die van een Boeing 747.
In het artikel waarnaar hierboven wordt verwezen, is stap voor stap te volgen wat er in 2012 allemaal plaatsvond en hoe de autoriteiten dit object probeerden af te doen als een “natuurlijke formatie”.
Volgens een artikel op de website Live Science maakt een assistent professor van de universiteit van Stockholm, Volkert Brüchert, gehakt van alle Ufo theorieën over het onbekende object in de Oostzee. Deze man schijnt in een aantal Zweedse bladen te hebben verteld dat uit onderzoek van de monsters die hij van het Ocean X Team heeft ontvangen, zou blijken dat het hier om vulkanische rots zou gaan. En dat het object een volkomen natuurlijk verschijnsel is wat waarschijnlijk gedurende de ijstijd zou zijn gevormd.
Een “natuurlijk” object dat zorgt voor elektrische storingen wanneer men er in de buurt komt en dat een opmerkelijk element herbergt.
Wat eigenlijk iedereen is ontgaan in 2013 is een rapport waarbij een aantal monsters zijn genomen en vervolgens geanalyseerd.
Verbazingwekkend is dat één van die elementen die in een hoge concentratie voorkomt Titanium is. Zoals Scott Waring zegt, dit is waarschijnlijk “the smoking gun” die aangeeft dat we hier wel degelijk met een UFO te maken hebben.
Titanium is namelijk het perfecte materiaal om een UFO van te maken omdat het sterker is dan staal en lichter. Vandaag de dag wordt Titanium gebruikt in de ruimtevaartindustrie om ruimtevoertuigen, raketten en straalmotoren van te maken, mede omdat het een hoge weerstand heeft tegen hitte.
Titatium wordt in hogere concentraties aangetroffen op het object dan andere elementen in de omgeving, waardoor eigenlijk zeker is dat we hier met een UFO te maken hebben.
Comparing the two spectra basalt (K) and sediment (J) spectra indicates (Figure 10 ) no significant difference except for relative high concentration of Ti in the sediments compare with the basalt sample.
Ti staat voor Titanium.
Naast deze wetenschappelijke aanwijzingen zijn er ook altijd die van mensen. En die zien op regelmatige basis UFO’s verdwijnen in de Oostzee, waardoor je kunt aannemen dat er tot op de dag van vandaag zich ook daar buitenaardse basis onder water bevinden.
Navolgend enkele delen uit een eerder artikel waaruit de UFO-activiteit boven de Oostzee blijkt:
Nu zijn er wederom opnames gemaakt van enkele UFO’s boven de Oostzee die erg veel lijken op die van vorig jaar.
Ook hier lijkt meer dan duidelijk dat we hier te maken hebben met intelligent bestuurde objecten.
De opnames die hierna volgen, zijn gemaakt op 9 september 2014, ergens aan de Poolse Oostzeekust. De tijd is rond zes uur ’s avonds.
De opnames zijn echt en er zijn die avond meerdere getuigen op het strand.
In eerste instantie verschijnt er iets boven de zee dat lijkt op een grote bol zoals te zien op de volgende foto.
Korte tijd later lijkt deze bol als het ware uiteen te vallen in meerdere UFO’s.
Dan vervolgens maken zich een aantal UFO’s op een ordelijke manier los uit de groep en beginnen af te dalen en verdwijnen ogenschijnlijk in de zee.
Dat we hier te maken hebben met intelligent bestuurde objecten is duidelijk. Of ze buitenaards zijn, weten we niet.
UFO expert Jaime Maussan claims to have proof that UFOs are real
UFO expert Jaime Maussan claims to have proof that UFOs are real
The well-known journalist and TV personality Jaime Maussan claims to have provided evidence from tens of thousands of people from around the world on UFOs and extraterrestrial activity. In the video “VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT UFOs ARE REAL” on UFOTV, recorded during the MUFON Symposium in 2015, he presents recent developments in the field of ufology.
He shows video footage and pictures of invisible UFOs taken by infrared cameras, night vision, NASA space probes, satellites and aircraft cameras.
UFOs are captured by space probes of NASA in space, the sun, around comets, near volcanoes and often appear mysterious balls in the air.
Maussan also disclosed the ‘unseen alien images” of the world famous Roswell crash on a major conference on extraterrestrial life in Mexico City last year. The globally recognized UFO expert says the photos provide evidence that aliens exist.
Around the time of the UFO crash, there were no sketches or models of aliens, so the pictures can not be fake. Also fellow researcher Richard Dolan is sure the photos are authentic. The alien body is too detailed and precise to be made up.
Is Jaime Maussan telling the truth, what do you think? Write in the comment box —below, your thoughts, it really counts.
Louisville, Kentucky: UFO making an incredible sound
Louisville, Kentucky: UFO making an incredible sound
Witness report:Awesome UFO Sighting making an Incredible Sound, WOW! I was watching the nigh sky with a night vision device when i managed to capture a bright object/ ufo, and when the ufo got close to me it started to make a sound and it quits making the sound as soon as it got behind the tree line, i don’t think it was a computer problem or anything like that because you can still hear the background noise when ufo is making the sound. The most intriguing of this event is that i never heard that noise while i was recording the ufo, i just noticed the sound when i was taking a look at the videos i recorded that night, i was going to delete it because it didn’t seem interesting but that sound is just awesome.I have had incredible ufo sightings but this is the first one with sound. I still can’t believe it.

We were traveling about 60 to 63 mph and as you see it was moving just a bit faster than we were going. It may have bee about 50 ft. above us.
Is er sprake van een cover-up rond UFO’s? Amerikaanse overheidsfunctionaris doet boekje open
Is er sprake van een cover-up rond UFO’s? Amerikaanse overheidsfunctionaris doet boekje open
De Amerikaanse investeerder Christopher Mellon werkte 20 jaar voor de federale overheid. Hij heeft zich nu voor het eerst openlijk uitgesproken over de informatie die de overheid heeft over UFO’s.
Mellon was onder meer werkzaam voor het ministerie van Defensie en binnen de inlichtingengemeenschap. Voor zijn werkzaamheden heeft hij verschillende onderscheidingen gekregen. Hij bezocht onder meer Area 51 en diverse andere bases.
Hij raakte geïnteresseerd in UFO’s toen een vriend hem als kind een filmpje van een enorm schijfvormig, goudkleurig object liet zien. Hij begon boeken te lezen over UFO’s en deed er op de universiteit een onderzoeksproject over voor zijn professor natuurkunde.
Hoogst frustrerend
Mellon denkt niet dat Hillary Clinton, als ze president wordt, toegang zal krijgen tot geheime overheidsprogramma’s over UFO’s. “Ik herinner me gevallen waarbij medewerkers van het Witte Huis geen toegang konden krijgen tot geheime programma’s van het ministerie van Defensie. Mensen als Clinton kunnen jarenlang hoge posities bekleden zonder ooit toegang te krijgen tot geheime programma’s van het ministerie, die veelal gaan over nieuwe wapensystemen.”
Er waren enkele incidenten met betrekking tot UFO’s toen Mellon voor de overheid werkte. Een marinepiloot belde hem op een dag op om te zeggen dat een UFO rond een gevechtsvliegtuig cirkelde. De marine deed er voor zover hij wist verder geen onderzoek naar.
Daarnaast werden op de radar vier of vijf heldere UFO’s vastgelegd aan de avondhemel. Iedereen stond voor een raadsel, aldus Mellon. Geen enkele overheidsmedewerker toonde ook maar enige interesse, zelfs niet nadat de beelden tijdens het tv-programma Nightline waren getoond. “Ik vond het totale gebrek aan wetenschappelijke nieuwsgierigheid vanwege politieke correctheid hoogst frustrerend,” zei hij.
Geen eenduidige verklaring
Christopher Mellon
Als Clinton het UFO-onderwerp tot op de bodem wil uitzoeken, kan ze volgens Mellon het beste de NORAD, een militaire organisatie die waakt over het luchtruim van de VS, onderzoek laten verrichten.
Volgens hem zijn er genoeg goed gedocumenteerde UFO-waarnemingen om een wetenschappelijk onderzoek in te stellen. Er zijn genoeg gegevens, meldingen door geloofwaardige getuigen, video’s gemaakt door getrainde militairen en politieagenten en radarbeelden, aldus Mellon.
Hij was vooral onder de indruk van de UFO-waarneming in november 1989 in België, toen 13 politieagenten en honderden andere getuigen twee driehoekige vaartuigen zagen boven het land. De Belgische luchtmacht stelde een onderzoek in, werkte samen met een groep wetenschappers en raadpleegde de VS en NAVO-landen, maar kon geen eenduidige verklaring geven.
UFO-mysterie oplossen
Op 30 maart 1993 zagen meer dan 100 getuigen, waaronder politieagenten en militairen, een driehoekig vaartuig boven Engeland. Het object was in staat om vanuit stilstand weg te schieten. Het Britse ministerie van Defensie concludeerde dat ‘een ongeïdentificeerd object (of objecten), waarvan de herkomst niet bekend was, boven Groot-Brittannië opereerde’.
Mellon benadrukt dat deze objecten geen eigendom waren van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Defensie. Hij voegt toe dat het Amerikaanse leger nieuwe vaartuigen niet test boven dichtbevolkte gebieden.
Hij merkt op dat het leger over het algemeen niet bereid is om onderzoek te doen naar UFO-meldingen, zelfs als ze afkomstig zijn van legerpiloten of hoge functionarissen, zoals oud-gouverneur van Arizona Fyfe Symington.
Mellon heeft gedurende zijn carrière geen gecrashte schotels of buitgemaakte technologie van aliens gezien, maar wil er wel alles aan doen om het UFO-mysterie op te lossen. Samen met een groep wetenschappers en ingenieurs bouwt hij een groot netwerk van meetstations die gegevens gaan verzamelen in gebieden waar veel UFO’s worden waargenomen. Vervolgens kan de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap die gegevens gaan analyseren.
An Ohio witness east of Westerville reported a close encounter with a triangle UFO after getting a psychic impression to go outside, according to testimony in Case 76141 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The incident occurred at 10:05 p.m., on September 14, 2015, and was reported to MUFON on May 1, 2016.

“I observed the same bright light approaching from the north that I had seen just a few nights prior and I had no camera with me,” the witness stated.“The craft entered my frame of vision from the west skimming the tree tops, turned 90 degrees on a dime, and the craft was moving directly at me.”
The witness described the craft’s lighting.
“The navigational lights were that of a jet, but the headlight was 10 times brighter than a typical jet headlight. I had just taken my camera in from my night of sky gazing, took the dog out, took her back in, and started to lock up the door for the night when I got a ‘psychic’ message to return outside and to stand by a particular tree, which I did. Very strange.”
But the idea to go outside to this particular location quickly paid off.
“Sure as the devil, that’s when I spotted the craft approaching from the west and just north of me. I backed away from the tree and boldly stood as the craft centered directly between my eyes and came overhead at an estimated 15 – 20 mph. or less.”

The craft was also very well lit.
“It presented what appeared to be a full display of lights, including a ring of brilliant, red, individual lights, dead center in the belly of the craft. It was lit like ‘Times Square’ and utterly silent. Another triangle, but this time, just over my head. This time, left light red and right, green; different from prior, higher slightly, higher altitude sightings of two triangles together, with red and white lights only, from days earlier. The head-beam was brighter than the moon and cast for a couple miles forward, at least, and came over at an estimated 100 feet – 125 feet at best. It was very low and slow.”
The object was also moving very slow.
“I know I said 15 – 20 mph., but in reality it may have been moving at 5 mph. for all I know. I was hypnotized by the green light and a feeling of peace and love that came over me. Again, very strange.”
The witness was amazed at the sighting.
“Whoever or whatever they are, allowed me to see the entire craft. I was in absolute awe. And Iwasn’t the least bit frightened. I know the light mesmerized me as I stood smiling at the craft approaching me. If it were any lower, I could have hit it with a rock. As it passed overhead, I was dead center with the brilliant, red belly lights. If they wanted to abduct me, they could have. As it was about to exit our property, the only sound it made was a low crackling sound. The back edge was trimmed with yellow-orange oblong ports. I got a great look at the craft, but missed a sensational photo op. This struck me as a total anti-gravity craft, as the giant equilateral triangle barely moved through the air, with no wind or air disturbance being generated whatsoever.”

Ohio MUFON Chief Investigator Ron McGlone is investigating. Westerville is a city in Delaware and Franklin counties Ohio, population 36,120.

An Indonesian witness at North Jakarta reported watching and videotaping a metallic object under 500 meters with an apparent diameter of 5 meters, according to testimony in Case 68460 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside in a basketball field with his wife and son at 5:42 p.m. on July 17, 2015, when the incident occurred.
“First noticed the object when pointing out the hunting bats and swallows to my son,” the witness stated.“It was on my south and moving towards the northwest direction. First impression of the object was that it was somewhat spherical and moving at a constant speed and constant altitude. Altitude was from the best of my judgement around the 300-500 meters high, and moving slowly and constantly throughout the event at about 50 meters per minute.”

The witness described the object.
“As it drew nearer to my location, the shape looked more like a slightly vertically squashed sphere, akin to a red blood cell. It had a metallic sheen because it clearly reflected the orange glow of the setting sun. Upon longer inspection, the shape seemed to be constantly, slightly distorting and bobbling because the reflected sunlight was not consistent, although the object largely held its original shape.”
The witness tried to guess the object’s size.
“Judging from the distance and altitude, my best guess is the object is at least 5 meters in diameter. After about a minute after noticing the object, I used my iPhone 5S to video the object as best as I could, although limited phone memory cut short the duration of the video. After I finished recording, the object started to slowly make a very wide arc to the left, without changing speed or altitude, and changed direction southwesterly, which means moving away from my location.”

The witness attempted to follow the object on foot.
“I then started to walk/jog and chased the object for about 1-2 minutes over 150 meters, then ceased because I didn’t want to leave my wife and son behind in the basketball field. The object then slowly moved away and disappeared over the treeline after a couple more minutes.”
The witness thought that the object was unusual.
“What drew me to the object in the first place was that I never saw anything like it before. During the sighting and afterwards, considering the things I saw, my impression largely is that the object is probably man-made, maybe a stray weather balloon that drifted with the wind. The few things bugging me is the shape of the object, which is like a red blood cell, the definite metallic sheen of the surface, and the changing of the direction of the object, albeit slowly. Video is also not very supportive because of the maximum zoom, large distance to the object and me constantly moving around. Would really like to have somebody from MUFON to contact via phone or email to exchange ideas on this.”

Cheryl Lee Vanagelis for MUFON International closed this case as an Unknown.
“In the video you can see at normal speed a flash which is an orb on the left-hand side moving to the right and touching the triangle morphed, and then releases itself and moves at lightspeed to the left and disappearing,” Vanagelis wrote in her report.“In slow motion the flash and orb do not appear. You’ll need to adjust brightness and gamma. I see a ‘cloudwalker’ morphing into a small boomerang shape for a milli-second, and then morph back into a ‘cloudwalker shape,’ before it stretches and flies off fast. I can also see atmospheric activity surrounding it. Unfortunately, the video is not able to snapshot and increase size without pixilation of the picture. Based on my studies on these types of UFOs, it is a good capture of a ‘cloudwalker’ possibly energizing or feeding off the dimensional cloaking layer.”
Is There a UFO Cover-up? A Government Insider Speaks Out
Is There a UFO Cover-up? A Government Insider Speaks Out
Leslie Kean, Author, New York Times bestseller, ‘UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record’
About six months ago, our board at UFODATA was privileged to welcomeChristopher Mellon as the newest member of our team. Chris spent nearly 20 years in the federal government serving in various national security positions. For the first time, he has agreed to speak publicly about his experiences within government as they relate to UFOs.
Photo courtesy Chris Mellon
It is unusual for a man of Chris’s stature to speak openly about UFOs, which gives his statements great weight. His positions during the Clinton and Bush administrations involved high clearances; in fact, there are few people who have enjoyed such deep and wide-ranging access to compartmented programs in both the Defense Department (DoD) and the intelligence community. Chris is the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Reconnaissance Office Gold Medal and the Defense Intelligence Agency Director’s Medal.
At DoD, Chris served on a small committee that provided oversight of all DoD special access programs, in order to eliminate potential waste and duplication. The oversight included visits to Area 51 and other sensitive facilities. He also spent over a decade on the Senate Intelligence Committee, involved in oversight of NRO, CIA, NSA and other intelligence organizations. He became the first Congressional official to review all of the NSA’s compartmented programs.
I wanted to know what Chris had to say about Hillary Clinton’s implications that the government may be withholding classified UFO documents. Backed by John Podesta, chairman of her campaign, Clinton has been speaking about the need to “get to the bottom of the UFO mystery.” Her comments are unprecedented within a presidential campaign.
Here is my recent conversation with Chris Mellon, mainly conducted via email, edited only for clarity.
Q: When did you first become interested in UFOs?
A: I was about seven years old when I saw an old-fashioned amateur movie taken by a friend of our school principal. It showed a huge, golden disc-shaped object serenely moving through sunny, blue skies, passing through cumulous clouds in a manner that would be very hard to fake. I have no idea what became of the movie, but it filled me with wonder and awe. I read everything I could get my hands on afterwards and eventually did a research project on UFOs in college for a physics professor. I remain deeply intrigued.
Q: Did your colleagues in government know you were interested in UFOs? Were you afraid of being ridiculed?
A: It was something I didn’t reveal to colleagues unless I got to know them well and we became personal friends. Even then of course I wasn’t a nut about it and I certainly was not obsessed; it was simply a subject of great curiosity. It did not come up often. I was focused like a laser on my duties 99.9 percent of the time.
Q: Hillary Clinton has been asked about UFOs during her campaign. As the former Secretary of State, would she be likely to know if there were any classified government programs involving UFOs?
A: No, I don’t think so. I recall instances when White House officials sought briefings on highly compartmented DoD programs and were flatly refused. Access to such programs is on a need to know basis. In general, nobody outside DoD, including the Secretary of State, is deemed to have a need to know. Officials like John Podesta and Secretary Clinton can easily serve for years in senior positions and be avid consumers of classified intelligence analysis but never obtain access to DoD’s compartmented programs, which mostly relate to new weapons systems. Information about such programs rarely leaks because it doesn’t circulate, unlike the constant stream of leaked information regarding classified intelligence activities.

Q: Do you think that if Clinton is elected we can expect to learn new information about UFOs?
A: I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information. I participated in a comprehensive review of DoD’s black programs and spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence program, an almost totally separate world of secrets. I visited Area 51 and other military, intelligence and research facilities. During all those years, I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs.
Q: Clinton and John Podesta have been focusing on the need for de-classifying government documents. What do you think about that?
A: While a few new, previously overlooked documents might turn up (the bureaucracy is never perfect), I do not believe they would resolve the UFO issue or provide significant new insights. I can think of one lengthy UFO report that is classified only due to concerns over sources and methods. In fact, it identified a convincing conventional explanation for the pilot sightings in this particular case. There are lots of classified documents related to activities at Area 51, where high security is needed. But this is all legitimate stuff the American people would support. They have nothing to do with UFOs, to the best of my knowledge.
Q: Do you recall any incidents involving UFOs while you were in government?
A: Yes, there were a handful of incidents. Knowing of my interest in UFOs, a breathless naval aviator called me one day to report that he was present minutes earlier when a Navy jet landed after being circled by a UFO in broad daylight. The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell. I also recall the Maui Optical Tracking Facility, which tracks satellites, recording a flight of four or five fiery UFOs traversing the night sky. Nobody knew what to make of it. But no government official expressed the slightest interest even after the tape was featured on ABC’s Nightline. I found the utter lack of scientific curiosity due to political correctness highly frustrating.
Q: How do you think the press and public will react if Clinton is elected, makes the inquiries she promised, but comes up empty-handed?
A: I think the conspiracy theorists will be angry and unconvinced, while the general public may conclude UFOs are not a worthwhile topic. If Clinton really wants to get to the bottom of the UFO issue, I think she should officially task NORAD with collection and analysis responsibility. Simultaneously, she should assign the Office of Science and Technology Policy the job of reviewing available evidence, coordinating with other countries and providing scientific assessments and recommendations.
Q: The taboo against taking UFOs seriously is a huge problem. How can we get more government officials to change this ingrained attitude?
A: I think we have to ask ourselves a key question, and then bring it forward. “Are there UFO cases that are sufficiently well-documented to warrant a scientific investigation of the phenomenon?” In my view, the answer is yes.
The patterns in the data are too strong; the reports from credible witnesses separated widely by time and place too similar; the evidence from videos and trained military and law enforcement observers too extensive; and the independent radar data in select cases correlates too highly with visual observations to safely ignore. Finally, when someone you trust and respect, like a naval aviator, looks you in the eye and tells you he saw something truly extraordinary at close range, it’s hard not to take his testimony seriously. It is arrogant, unreasonable and unwise to dismiss such reports. We should simply and impartially follow the trail wherever it leads.
Q: Which credible UFO incidents have you found particularly impressive and convincing?
A: A few stand out in my mind. In November 1989, 13 police officers and hundreds of other witnesses saw two silent triangular craft gliding over Belgium. This was the beginning of a wave of sightings there lasting well over a year. Ground and air radar data were acquired as well. The Belgian Air Force investigated the events in cooperation with a team of scientists and consulted with the U.S. and NATO countries, but could not find a conventional explanation.

Colonel Wilfried De Brouwer, who later became a general, presents anomalous radar readings at a 1990 press conference during the Belgian wave
On the night of March 30, 1993, over a hundred witnesses in England, including police officers and military personnel, saw a triangular-shaped craft able to rapidly accelerate in seconds from a hovering position. The British Ministry of Defensestated that “none of the usual explanations put forward to explain UFO sightings seem applicable” and concluded that the evidence showed that “an unidentified object (or objects) of unknown origin was operating over the UK.”
Similarly, multiple police officers in Southern Illinois saw an object in January 2000 that looked and behaved very similarly to the Belgian and British UFOs. In fact, the Illinois police officers’ drawings of the craft are uncannily similar to the depictions of triangular craft produced by Belgian law enforcement officers a decade earlier, as well as many others since.
A Belgian Air Force weather forecaster drew his sighting in 1990
In 2006, pilots and airport personnel witnessed a disc-shaped object hovering overO’Hare airport for over five minutes, yet no government investigation was undertaken.
And, while most sightings have conventional explanations, I think it is stunning how many reports come in regularly to groups like MUFON, with impressive detail, including photos or videos. I often hear from skeptics, “If UFOs are out there how come nobody ever gets a video with all the smartphones around?” That is ignorant, it happens all the time!
Q: Some people believe the more recent sightings in cases such as those you mentioned may simply be US government tests of experimental aircraft. Is that possible?
A: I can understand why this may seem the most plausible explanation. But I can assure you, those objects did not belong to US Department of Defense. Just before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I was contacted by the DoD Office of Congressional Affairs. They were in a tizzy because Robert Byrd, the powerful Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, was challenging them over reports appearing in magazines such as Aviation Week and Space Technology describing an alleged super-secret US aircraft program dubbed “Aurora.”
Senator Byrd would use his budget power to punish the department severely if we lied to him or withheld information. We pursued all possible options, double-checking with the appropriate officials while reminding them of the imperative of providing an accurate response. We quickly confirmed what we already knew - that while there are always things on the drawing board, there was nothing remotely resembling such aircraft being operated by the department. We had nothing with the capacity to hover and then silently accelerate at massive speeds.
Also, it is totally uncharacteristic of the US military to conduct experimental tests of new vehicles over populated areas where security would be compromised and innocent civilians placed in harms way. That’s completely contrary to military DNA. Alien visitation is actually easier to believe than that level of stupidity being exhibited by the brilliant people developing new aircraft technologies for DoD.
Q: Are you certain there is no government cover-up?
A: It’s impossible to prove the negative, so all I can say is that I never saw any evidence of official interest in UFOs. I’d love to believe we have a crashed saucer somewhere, but I’ve never seen anything remotely supportive of such incredible claims. In my experience, on those rare occasions when UFO incidents involving the government occur, they are highly inconvenient, awkward and embarrassing for the afflicted government officials who want nothing more than to put the issue behind them as quickly as possible! The military seems generally unwilling to investigate even when UFO reports come from our own military pilots or officials in high office such as Fife Symington, the former governor of Arizona. Senior officials are so fearful of being ridiculed that they conceal any expression of interest or curiosity.
Q: Some inside sources have proposed that retrieved hardware from a UFO may exist within a private aerospace company which has become independent from the DoD. In this way, it would be exempt from government oversight and known only to a few people. Do you think this is possible?
A: I find it hard to imagine something as explosive as recovered alien technology remaining under wraps for decades. So while I have no reason to believe there is any recovered alien technology, I will say this: If it were me, and I were trying to bury it deep, I’d take it outside government oversight entirely and place it in a compartment as a new entity within an existing defense company and manage it as what we call an “IRAD” or “Independent Research and Development Activity.”
Q: So where does this all leave us, and what is to be done?
A: In my view, calling for the end to an alleged government UFO cover-up is almost certainly a dead end, and does not help inspire anyone in government to become more open to the topic. The UFO mystery is a scientific problem. A true scientist seeks and follows the data no matter how politically incorrect the facts may be. The greatest scientific breakthroughs occur when we verify information that challenges conventional wisdom. That’s why I joined the board of UFODATA.
Q: I’m so glad you did. What kinds of new data are you hoping we will collect?
A: Our team of scientists and engineers are designing and will build a large network of automated surveillance stations with sophisticated sensors to capture a wide range of data. The stations will house cameras to record both an image and spectra, a magnetometer, instrumentation to detect radiation, a gravimeter, and more. They will be mobile so that we can readily deploy them to areas that become hotspots of UFO activity. We can then make the data available to the scientific community for analysis.
Q: Do you think UFOs could be visitors from civilizations elsewhere?
A: I’m certainly intrigued by the possibility. But I don’t think we will find out without a deeper scientific inquiry. I would like to invite the public to participate and support this lean but potentially groundbreaking effort, staffed by volunteers. UFODATA’s findings, one way or another, can help us to resolve this perennial mystery and perhaps even help us to better understand the universe and mankind’s place within it.
