WAT HAD DIE UFO TE ZOEKEN BIJ DE GRENFELL TOREN IN LONDEN ? ( VIDEO )
WAT HAD DIE UFO TE ZOEKEN BIJ DE GRENFELL TOREN IN LONDEN? (VIDEO)
De werkelijke betekenis van holocaust is een ritueel offer waarbij veel mensen door vuur om het leven komen.
Ze laten altijd een handtekening achter, want ondanks alles willen ze toch dat mensen weten dat zij erachter zitten.
Enkele weken geleden schreven wij enkele artikelen waaruit duidelijk blijkt dat de werkelijke machthebbers op deze aarde beschikken over zeer vergevorderde technologie.
Technologie die waarschijnlijk tot stand is gekomen door reverse engineering aan de hand van gecrashte buitenaardse ruimteschepen zoals in Roswell het geval was.
Dit betekent dat ze de beschikking hebben over wat wij normaal gesproken UFOs noemen. Voor ons onbekende objecten die razendsnel door het luchtruim schieten. Echter, wat wij ontdekten, was dat deze UFO’s onder andere werden gebruikt voor een aanslag tijdens een begrafenis in de Afghaanse hoofdstad Kabul.
Toen we verder zochten, zagen we al vrij snel dat dit ook de manier was waarop ze tijdens 9/11 de Twin Towers in eerste instantie zwaar hebben beschadigd en ze ermee aanvielen.
Nu, iets meer dan tien dagen geleden, een enorme brand in de Grenfell toren in West Londen waarbij tientallen mensen om het leven kwamen.
Met de eerdere UFO aanslagen van in gedachten, lijkt het op bovenstaande beelden dat men deze UFO even heeft langs gestuurd om te kijken of de missie is gelukt.
Er zijn natuurlijk de laatste anderhalve week al talloze geluiden te horen geweest over hoe deze brand misschien wel eens aangestoken zou kunnen zijn.
Terwijl de mainstream-media allemaal braaf het verhaaltje plaatsen van een exploderende koelkast van een merk en type waar nog nooit eerder dit soort problemen mee zijn gemeld, zien doorgewinterde onderzoekers toch wel degelijk tekenen die erop wijzen dat hier opzet in het spel is.
De onroerend goed markt in Londen is net zoals die in New York in handen van leden van de Sekte van het Alziend Oog, ook wel de Sabbateans genoemd. Je komt daar bijvoorbeeld in New York heel prominent de naam van Jared Kushner tegen, de schoonzoon van Donald Trump en de vertegenwoordiger van Tel Aviv in het Witte Huis.
Naast alle politieke overwegingen zat er bijvoorbeeld bij de aanslag van 9/11 ook een heel andere kant aan de zaak en dat had alles te maken met onroerend goed.
Voorafgaand aan 9/11 waren er behoorlijke problemen met de Twin Towers vanwege asbest dat erin voorkwam. Er was door een rechtbank bepaald dat alle asbest verwijderd moest worden, een klus die vele miljoenen dollars, er wordt gesproken zelfs over miljarden, zou hebben gekost. In ieder geval veel meer dan de gebouwen op dat moment waard waren.
Naast de asbestproblemen waren er nog talloze andere, zoals de leegstand in het gebouw, een zwaar verouderde communicatiestructuur binnen de gebouwen en men was ze eigenlijk liever kwijt dan rijk.
En dus schuift de Sekte een “goedwillende burger” naar voren, de crimineel Larry Silverstein die zoals een goede Chazaar betaamd zijn fortuin had verdiend in de seksindustrie. Deze koopt in juli 2001 het gebouw en verdubbelt het bedrag voor terrorisme verzekering.
Dat Larry Silverstein een goede persoonlijke vriend is van de Israëlische premier Benjamin Netanyahu berust puur op toeval en daar moet verder niets achter gezocht worden.
Op de dag van de aanslag moest de heer Silverstein helaas zijn gebruikelijke ontbijt op de bovenste verdieping van de noordelijke toren aan zich voorbij laten gaan omdat zijn vrouw hem er gelukkig aan had herinnerd dat hij een afspraak had met de huidarts. Het toeval wil dat zijn dochter een vergelijkbare reden had om die ochtend niet in de toren aanwezig te zijn.
De rest van het verhaal is simpelweg dat Silverstein in totaal zo'n vijf miljard dollar contant ontving in verzekeringsgeld voor een totale investering van 15 miljoen dollar, met daarnaast nog eens het recht om een nieuw gebouw neer te zetten.
Dezelfde soort figuren hebben ook de onroerend goed markt in Londen in handen en natuurlijk willen ze het liefst die arme lui uit deze wijk hebben zodat ze dure appartementen kunnen neerzetten voor het rijkere deel van de bevolking.
Is de gevelbeplating aangebracht om er zo voor te zorgen dat een brand zich niet alleen heel snel verspreid, maar dit ook doet volgens een bepaald patroon?
Hebben we hier een soort herhaling van brandende Twin Towers, waarbij prominent het getal 11 in beeld komt, één van de meest heilige bij satanisten en vrijmetselaars?
De vrijmetselaars die weer onderdeel vormen van de Sabbateans en gek zijn op menselijke offers door middel van vuur (holocaust).
Wij associëren het woord holocaust met de Jodenvervolging, maar de oorspronkelijke betekenis is als volgt:
Great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire.
A sacrificial offering that is consumed entirely by flames.
Een brand in de Grenfell toren die rond een uur of één ’s nachts wordt ontdekt, maar waarbij het brandalarm pas om half twee af gaat.
Ondertussen worden meer flats geëvacueerd en zullen deze ongetwijfeld binnen niet al te lange tijd worden afgebroken en vervangen door meer gewenste bebouwing.
Hebben ze hier dezelfde tactiek gevolgd als met de begrafenis in Kabul en is er ’s avonds in het donker een UFO op afgestuurd die het gebouw op een aantal strategische plekken in brand heeft geschoten?
We zullen het misschien nooit zeker weten, maar alle tekenen wijzen weer op dezelfde satanische figuren die verantwoordelijk zijn voor heel veel van de ellende op deze aarde.
These objects are really Venus and Mercury against the backdrop of our Sun?
These objects are really Venus and Mercury against the backdrop of our Sun?
Using the NASA SOHO COR2 satellite tool, on May 6 and May 25, 2017 NASA showed observations of the orbits of the planets Mercury and Venus against the backdrop of our Sun.
As you will see later in the video, these shots could not be produced by the NASA satellite tool, because the satellite was completely elsewhere and could not transmit image data to NASA according to Myunhauzen74.
Myunhauzen74: Also, pay attention to the shape and the intensity of the glow of the planets. It can be concluded that, the planets have a form that does not correspond to scientific data. At all, I’m convinced that based on my analysis, NASA falsifies the (SOHO) observations of the planets, they not show us the real planets!
Astronomers believe they have found signs of a planet with a mass between that of Earth and Mars beyond Neptune.
The movement of objects in the Kuiper Belt – thousands of asteroids, comets and dwarf planets orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune – suggests a planet is hiding among them.

MARS FUNSIZE: The planet is believed to between the size of Mars (pictured) and Earth
“Something as massive as Mars would be needed”
Kat Volk
Neptune – the eighth planet in our Solar System – is the furthest from the Sun so far proven to exist.
Scientists claimed to have discovered a ninth planet beyond Neptune – dubbed somewhat unimaginatively “Planet Nine”.
So – if it’s existence is confirmed – the new planet would be the tenth world in our Solar System.
Only a heavenly body the size of Mars or bigger would have enough mass to alter the orbits of other objects in the Kuiper Belt, researchers at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory say.
Research fellow Kat Volk, of LPL – whose study will be published in The Astronomical Journal – said: “The most likely explanation for our results is that there is some unseen mass.
“According to our calculations, something as massive as Mars would be needed to cause the warp that we measured."

ICY GIANT: An artist's impression of Planet 9
The LPL team are sure their calculations point to a new planet – not Planet 9.
Planet 9 – which was also discovered through its effects on objects in the Kuiper Belt – is thought to be four times the size of Earth and 10 times its mass.
It is believed to be about 500 to 700 “astronomical units” from Earth – up to 65 trillion miles away.
Whatever is affecting the Kuiper Belt objects the researchers have spotted is much nearer.

Ms Volk said: “[Planet 9] is too far away to influence these Kuiper Belt objects.
"It certainly has to be much closer than 100 AU to substantially affect the KBOs in that range."
The team hope a new telescope being built in Chile, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, may help them check out more objects in the Kuiper Belt, including the possible Planet 10.

New NASA mission ideas would study the gassy environments of Uranus and Neptune, two planets on the edge of the solar system that spacecraft have visited only once.
The agency has several potential mission concepts on the table, including flybys, orbiters and even a spacecraft to dive into Uranus' atmosphere, agency officials said in a statement.
NASA released a study of potential future missions in support of the forthcoming Planetary Science Decadal Survey, a publication of the National Research Council that is used to help determine what missions NASA should pursue. The next survey covers science priorities from 2022 and 2032. [Auroras on Uranus Dazzle in New Hubble Telescope Views]
"This [NASA] study argues the importance of exploring at least one of these planets and its entire environment, which includes surprisingly dynamic icy moons, rings and bizarre magnetic fields," Mark Hofstadter, a planetary scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in the statement. Hofstadter was one of the two co-chairs of the science team that produced the report.
"We do not know how these planets formed and why they and their moons look the way they do," added fellow co-chair Amy Simon, senior scientist of planetary atmospheres research at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. "There are fundamental clues as to how our solar system formed and evolved that can only be found by a detailed study of one, or preferably both of these planets."
Both planets have been visited by a single spacecraft, Voyager 2, which flew by Uranus and Neptune in 1986 and 1989, respectively. Voyager 2 was tasked with viewing the largest planets of the outer solar system and took advantage of a rare planetary alignment to visit Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune on the probe's way out of the solar system. (The spacecrat's twin, Voyager 1, studied Jupiter and Saturn and entered interstellar space in 2012.)
Since then, however, telescope technology has improved enough so that scientists can perform some studies of Uranus and Neptune from the ground. Researchers using the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, for example, have tracked giant storms appearing and disappearing on Uranus in recent years. However, no concentrated long-term program is possible on the ground, because telescope time is competitive and spread among several targets.
Studies suggest that Uranus and Neptune both have liquid oceans beneath their clouds, making up about two-thirds of their mass, NASA officials noted in the statement. It's a different environment from the much bigger Jupiter and Saturn (which are about 85 percent gas by mass) and smaller, rocky planets such as Earth or Mars, which are almost 100 percent rock.
"It's not clear how or where ice giant planets form, why their magnetic fields are strangely oriented, and what drives geologic activity on some of their moons," NASA added in the same statement. "These mysteries make them scientifically important, and this importance is enhanced by the discovery that many planets around other stars appear to be similar to our own ice giants."

WASHINGTON — Pew, pew, pew! Epic laser battles with highly concentrated beams of deadly light punching through starship hulls, slicing off limbs — or instantly vaporizing spacecraft, bodies and even planets — have been a much-loved and time-honored tradition in science fiction for many decades.
But anyone who has gripped a handheld laser pointer to lead a presentation or to tease a cat knows that lower-energy versions of lasers are quite common today. The focused light of lasers can be used for microscopy, to provide targets for weapons, to perform certain types of delicate surgery or to create spectacular visual displays at rock concerts.
And lasers are also frequently used in space — not as weapons, but to help scientists conduct highly precise measurements and observations, a group of NASA engineers and designers explained in a panel on June 16 here at Future Con. [The Most Dangerous Space Weapons Ever]
If you've ever marveled at the highly detailed Martian topography in the geobrowser Google Mars, you have lasers to thank, said Luis Ramos-Izquierdo, an optical systems engineer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
For four-and-a-half years, the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) used lasers to collect data on Mars' surface elevation, which was used to generate the most detailed global topographic map of any planet in our solar system, according to NASA.
Ice, ice baby
Closer to home, the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), scheduled to launch in 2019, will use laser technology to create 3D maps of Earth's forests and calculate their biomass, Ramos-Izquierdo said.
Another NASA mission using lasers to peer at Earth is named Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2). Scheduled to launch in 2018, ICESat-2 will use an array of six lasers — three paired beams — to track ice-sheet thickness and changes across Greenland and Antarctica, so that scientists can better estimate the risks posed by melting ice due to climate change, panel member Brooke Medley, a research associate with Earth Sciences Remote Sensing at the Goddard Space Flight Center, told the Future Con audience.
ICESat-2 is continuing the work started by an earlier mission, ICESat-1, which was the first satellite to deploy lasers from space to measure surface elevation in the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, according to NASA.
The amount of ice cover in those two regions is enormous: Greenland's area is about three times the size of Texas, while Antarctica is roughly twice the size of the contiguous United States — far too big to accurately measure elevation changes from the ground or by airplane, Medley said. ICESat-2 will conduct multiple passes overhead at an altitude of 299 miles (481 kilometers), and its lasers will gather data that will enable researchers to calculate ice volume and track changes over time.

Another NASA satellite that resembles a mirror-studded disco ball — the LAser GEOdynamic Satellite (LAGEOS) — has been pinging back laser light beamed from Earth since it launched in 1976, returning data that enabled scientists to create the first models of Earth's gravitational field. Currently, there are two LAGEOS satellites in orbit, and their orbits are so stable that unless a piece of space debris collides with them, they'll be circling the planet for at least 1 million to 2 million years, according to panelist Evan Hoffman, a scientist with the Space Geodesy Project at Goddard.
In the moon's vicinity, the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter used lasers to gather billions of data points from the moon's surface while in orbit, enabling scientists to build the most detailed maps to date of lunar topography, Erwan Mazarico, a research associate with Planetary Studies at Goddard, said at the panel.
Lasers have also helped NASA researchers bring broadband to the moon, Jennifer Sager, lead system engineer and project manager with the Science and Planetary Operations Control Center at Goddard, told the panel audience. The Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration tested a two-way communication system between Earth and the moon using a pulsed laser beam, establishing a data download rate of 622 megabits per second, Sager said.
And researchers are even investigating whether lasers could be used defensively in space — not to battle invading extraterrestrials, but to nudge aside space debris that could damage equipment or threaten astronauts, Hoffman added.

Lighting the spark
Appearing at a conference like Future Con — where attendees are particularly enthusiastic about the real-world science behind their favorite sci-fi moments — allowed all of the scientists in the panel to touch upon some of the more interesting aspects of their research, even though the entire presentation was less than an hour, Mazarico told Space.com.
But each of the panelists could happily have spoken about lasers for much longer, Ramos-Izquierdo added.
"In reality, any one of us could talk for hours about our work and what we do — I could have gone on and on and on," Ramos-Izquierdo said.
"But it's good that they get a variety of the things we do at NASA, and maybe how it all comes together — for communication, for mapping the planet, for exploration. We gotta do all that work now, for science fiction to become real," he said.
Talking about space lasers at Future Con also brought NASA science directly to kids, perhaps encouraging the next generation of engineers and scientists, Mazarico told Space.com. And giving children a chance to meet the people behind the lasers might help them see themselves in those roles as adults, Medley added.
"We're just people that you could be passing in the street," she said. "Science isn't out of reach — it's something that is accessible for anyone."
Planet 10? Another Earth-Size World May Lurk in the Outer Solar System
Planet 10? Another Earth-Size World May Lurk in the Outer Solar System

A planet-size object may be orbiting the sun in the icy reaches of the solar system beyond Pluto.
Scientists at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) have determined that an unseen object with a mass somewhere between that of Earth and Mars could be lurking in the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune filled with thousands of icy asteroids, comets and dwarf planets.
In In January 2016, a separate group of scientists predicted the existence of a Neptune-size planet orbiting the sun far, far beyond Pluto — about 25 times farther from the sun than Pluto is. This hypothetical planet was dubbed "Planet Nine," so if both predictions are correct, one of these putative objects could be the solar system's 10th planet.
The so-called "planetary-mass object" described by the scientists from LPL appears to affect the orbits of a population of icy space rocks in the Kuiper Belt. Distant Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) have tilted orbits around the sun. The tilted orbital planes of most KBOs average out to something called the invariable plane of the solar system.
But the orbits of the most distant KBOs tilt away from the invariable plane by an average of 8 degrees, which signals the presence of a more massive object that warps its surroundings with its gravitational field, researchers said in a study due to be published in The Astronomical Journal.
"The most likely explanation for our results is that there is some unseen mass," Kat Volk, a postdoctoral fellow at LPL and the lead author of the study, said in a statement. "According to our calculations, something as massive as Mars would be needed to cause the warp that we measured."
These KBOs act a lot like spinning tops, Renu Malhotra, a professor of planetary sciences at LPL and co-author of the new study, said in the statement.
"Imagine you have lots and lots of fast-spinning tops, and you give each one a slight nudge … If you then take a snapshot of them, you will find that their spin axes will be at different orientations, but on average, they will be pointing to the local gravitational field of Earth," she said. "We expect each of the KBOs' orbital tilt angle to be at a different orientation, but on average, they will be pointing perpendicular to the plane determined by the sun and the big planets."

It may sound a lot like the mysterious Planet Nine, but the researchers say the so-called planetary-mass object is too small, and too close, to be the same thing. Planet Nine lies 500 to 700 astronomical units (AU) from Earth, and its mass is about 10 times that of Earth. (One AU is the average distance at which Earth orbits the sun — 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers. Pluto orbits the sun at a maximum distance of just less than 50 AU.)
"That is too far away to influence these KBOs," Volk said. "It certainly has to be much closer than 100 AU to substantially affect the KBOs in that range."
Though no planet-size objects have been spotted in the Kuiper Belt so far, the researchers are optimistic that the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which is currently under construction in Chile, will help find these hidden worlds. "We expect LSST to bring the number of observed KBOs from currently about 2,000 to 40,000," Malhotra said.
"There are a lot more KBOs out there — we just have not seen them yet," Malhotra added. "Some of them are too far and dim even for LSST to spot, but because the telescope will cover the sky much more comprehensively than current surveys, it should be able to detect this object, if it's out there."
New High-Speed, Sustainable Helicopter Concept Whirls into Air Show
New High-Speed, Sustainable Helicopter Concept Whirls into Air Show
By Kacey Deamer, Staff Writer
A new rotorcraft design was presented by Airbus Helicopters at the Paris Air Show this week, and Airbus claims it can reach a cruising speed of 250 mph (400 km/h) without a deafening roar or trade-off in sustainability.
The copter concept — code-named "Racer," for Rapid and Cost-Effective Rotorcraft — was designed as part of the Clean Sky 2 European research program, which aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and lessen noise levels produced by aircraft.
The helicopter has a main rotor and a "box-wing" design with additional smaller rotors, which offers more efficient aerodynamics by providing lift and forward momentum while the copter cruises, according to Airbus Helicopters officials. [Supersonic! The 11 Fastest Military Airplanes]
"[Racer] aims to bring increased speed and range at the right cost, thanks to a simple, safe and proven aerodynamic formula," Guillaume Faury, Airbus Helicopters CEO, said in a statement.
The new helicopter could reach speeds of nearly 250 mph (400 km/h), thanks to new technology and an advanced aerodynamic design.
An "eco mode" will add to the helicopter's fuel efficiency. The option is still being tested by the engine manufacturer, but according to Airbus Helicopters, it would allow for an electrically powered "start and stop" of one engine in flight to save fuel and increase range. A low-weight body also adds to fuel efficiency and aerodynamics, according to Airbus.
Construction of a demonstration Racer craft is expected to begin in 2019, with initial flight tests planned for the following year.
Another aerospace advancement announced by Airbus this year is the Pop.Up, a "multimodal transportation concept." The futuristic passenger capsule concept could transform into different modes of transit, with attachable wheels for driving, propellers for flying or the ability to join a train-like transit system, such as the high-speed transit concept known as the Hyperloop.
eindelijk vrijgegeven. Waarom is de overheid zo bang als een klein kind in het donker?
Topgeheime X-Files over UFO’s eindelijk vrijgegeven. Waarom is de overheid zo bang als een klein kind in het donker?
De Britse overheid heeft UFO-stukken die 50 jaar lang geheim zijn gehouden eindelijk vrijgegeven. Dat schrijft de Daily Mail.
De documenten, die zijn gepubliceerd door het Britse Nationaal Archief, bevatten details over UFO-waarnemingen die in heel Groot-Brittannië zijn gedaan.
Ze bevatten informatie over incidenten die naar verluidt gerelateerd zijn aan buitenaardsen, waaronder een incident in Rendlesham Forest in 1980, dat ook wel het Britse Roswell wordt genoemd.
Achtergehouden
Dat jaar zagen soldaten die waren gestationeerd op vliegbases Bentwaters en Woodbridge vreemde lichten in het bos.
Vreemd genoeg zijn de documenten nog niet gedigitaliseerd, dus als je ze wilt inzien moet je naar het Nationaal Archief in Londen gaan.
De stukken zouden al in 2013 geopenbaard worden, maar 18 specifieke documenten werden om onduidelijke redenen achtergehouden.
Doofpot
In de afgelopen negen jaar heeft het Britse ministerie van Defensie meerdere keren UFO-files vrijgegeven. Drie documenten zijn nog altijd geheim.
Volgens sommigen is er sprake van een doofpot rond het bestaan van buitenaards leven.
“Het ministerie van Defensie vertelde het parlement, de media en het publiek dat er geen defensiebelang mee gemoeid was en dat het beperkt geïnteresseerd was in het UFO-fenomeen,” zei Nick Pope, die tussen 1991 en 1994 het UFO-project van het ministerie leidde.
Achter de schermen
“De stukken laten zien dat we het onderwerp achter de schermen een stuk serieuzer namen dan we deden voorkomen en dat er in veel gevallen wel degelijk een defensiebelang mee gemoeid was,” voegde hij toe.
Zo werden UFO’s gezien vlak bij legerbases, door RAF-piloten en opgepikt door luchtverkeersleiders.

A lot of people think there could be intelligent life out there somewhere

Hacktivist group Anonymous has released a YouTube video in which it claims NASA could soon announce the discovery of alien life.
Anonymous is known around the world for its work. In the past, it's taken on the likes of Isis, Donald Trump, and Westboro Baptist Church – the small American religious group that campaigns against homosexuality.
In it's latest video, Anonymous states that a NASA spokesperson called Professor Thomas Zurbuchen told a recent US Science, Space, and Technology committee meeting that extraterrestrial life could soon be proven.
What if there are two Donald Trumps?(Photo: Corbis)
"Our civilisation is on the verge of discovering evidence of alien life in the cosmos," Zurbuchen supposedly said.
"Taking into account all of the different activities and missions that are searching for alien life, we are on the verge of making one of the most profound, unprecedented discoveries in history."
Anonymous has also written about alien life on its website. It said: "The evidence sure seems to imply that something is going on in the skies above.
"It would cost a lot for spaceships and a continuous flow of taxes and black budget dollars could imply a rational that there is more than meets the eye and or that of public knowledge."
Obviously, this is speculation. At present, there's no evidence – at least none we know of – that proves the existence of alien life. But many think it's a possibility.
Last week, NASA discovered 219 new planets, ten of which are rocky planets possibly not all that dissimilar to Earth. Although these planets are in the solar system's 'Goldilocks Zon'e, which means they're too hot or cold to be habitable.

Seventy years ago, Idaho pilot Kenneth Arnold saw something near Mount Rainier that brought the term “flying saucers” into the lexicon. It was the viral story of its day. What he saw remains a mystery.
Before June 24, 1947, terms such as UFOs and flying saucers had not entered popular vocabulary. Then, on that afternoon 70 years ago, it all changed because of Kenneth Arnold:
“Supersonic Flying Saucers Sighted by Idaho Pilot.”
Arnold reported seeing near Mount Rainier nine “circular-type” objects flying in formation at more than twice the speed of sound.
Arnold would pay the price for describing something so fantastic.
In a now-declassified document, the Air Force Materiel Command wrote it off: “The report cannot bear even superficial examination, therefore, must be disregarded.”
Another Air Force document concluded, “It is the Air Force conclusion that the objects of this sighting were due to a mirage.”
For Arnold, it stung.
He didn’t consider himself some kind of kook. He had over 4,000 hours of mountain high-altitude pilot time; he was in the Idaho search and rescue.
“I have been subjected to ridicule, much loss of time and money, newspaper notoriety, magazine stories, reflections on my honesty, my character, my business dealings,” Arnold wrote in his 1952 book, “Coming of the Saucers.”
He died in 1984 at age 68, and in all those years, and with me, he never wavered in his descriptions.
“I made my report because I thought it was my duty. It was the only proper and American thing to do. I saw what I saw,” he said.
You can draw a direct line between what Arnold repeatedly recounted in detail to FBI and military investigators and our collective fascination with the possibility that aliens have visited us.
It’s become so much a part of our culture that even the CIA website has a section titled “Take a Peek Into Our “X-Files” that is chock-full of declassified files.
The CIA helpfully lists “Top 5 CIA Documents Mulder Would Love To Get His Hands On,” and “Top 5 CIA Documents Scully Would Love To Get Her Hands On.”
Arnold was an unlikely candidate to become embroiled in such a controversy.
He lived in Meridian, Idaho, and sold fire-extinguishing equipment. About as unusual as his life got was that he piloted a small airplane to get to his clients around the Northwest.
A month after Arnold was in the news, a now-declassified report made in July 1947 by Army Air Force Counter-Intelligence Corps Officer Frank M. Brown said, “Mr. Arnold is a man of 32 years of age, being married and the father of two children … It is the personal opinion of the interviewer that Mr. Arnold actually saw what he saw … To go further, if Mr. Arnold can write a report of the character that he did while not having seen the objects that he claimed he saw, it is the opinion of the interviewer that Mr. Arnold is in the wrong business, that he should be writing Buck Rogers fiction.”
That was one of the few sympathetic portrayals in government documents of Arnold’s sighting.
The lieutenant wrote that Arnold “seems to be reasonably well balanced, although excitable, and has no apparent ulterior motive … other than to prove he is not ‘nuts.’ ”
The lieutenant wrote that Arnold revealed “an antagonistic attitude toward the Army” by stating, “Well, if the Army doesn’t know what they are, it sure ought to be trying to find out!”
Bright flash lit the sky
Arnold’s sighting of the craft was the 1947 version of a story going viral.
“It was a beautiful day. Just as clear as a bell,” Arnold said. He was flying from Chehalis to Yakima and decided to spend an hour or so searching for a downed C-46 Marine transport that had crashed into the southwest side of Mount Rainier.
There was a $5,000 reward for finding it.
It was at 3 p.m., he remembered, “when a very bright flash lit up the plane and the sky around me.”
At first, Arnold thought it was the sun reflecting off another plane.
“But the flash happened again, and that’s when I saw where it was coming from. It came spasmodically from a chain of nine circular-type aircraft way up from the vicinity of Mount Rainier,” said Arnold.
“… I could not find any tails on these things. They didn’t leave a jet trail behind them. I judged their size to be at least 100 feet in widespan. I thought it was a new type of missile.”
His plane had a big sweep 24-hour clock on the instrument panel. Arnold measured that the craft covered the distance between Mount Rainier and Mount Adams in 1 minute 42 seconds.
“That figured out to something like 1,760 miles an hour, which I could hardly believe. I knew that figure couldn’t be entirely accurate, but I’d say it was within a couple of hundred miles accurate,” he said.
He ended up talking to reporter Bill Bequette, who, in subsequent years, remembered that Arnold “came off as honest, level headed and credible,” said a story in the East Oregonian.
So Bequette wrote a brief story about what Arnold said he witnessed.
But the brief also went out to The Associated Press, got picked up by numerous newspapers, and the furor began. For the first time, a mass-media story and subsequent headlines used the term, “flying saucers.”
There were no reported riches for Arnold because of his notoriety. Instead, he complained to Frank Brown, the Air Force investigator, “that his business had suffered greatly … at every stop in his business routes, large groups of people were waiting to question him …”
Brown concluded his report, “Mr. Arnold stated further that if he, at any time in the future, saw anything in the sky, to quote Mr. Arnold … ‘If I ever saw a ten story building flying through the air I would never say a word about it,’ due to the fact that he has been ridiculed by the press to such an extent that he is practically a moron in the eye of the majority of the population of the United States.”
A mystery to this day
Despite that statement to Brown, in the coming years Arnold was driven to prove he was right.
There were “many long hours of fruitless flying with a camera, trying and failing to find anything like his saucers again,” says Martin Shough, a well-regarded researcher of the UFO phenomena who has written a detailed analysis of Arnold’s account.
In an email, Shough, who lives in the Highlands of Scotland, says, “I am resigned to never knowing what Arnold saw.”
He concludes, “Seventy years on, when so much of the flying saucer mythology that Kenneth Arnold triggered has been explained away, it is somewhat embarrassing that Arnold’s own sighting remains obstinately resistant.
According to Former Canadian Minister of Defense, not only are governments around the globe COVERING up evidence that aliens exist, there are 80 Alien species that have been visited our planet since time immemorial.
Former Canadian Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer stated that media around the globe has avoided touching the UFO/Extraterrestrial subject.
Paul Hellyer is just one of the many ex-officials, including former NASA employees, military officers, or scientists who have come forward in the last years claiming to have seen proof of Alien visitations to Earth.
Paul Hellyer was the Canadian Minister of National Defense in the 1960 and is responsible for combining the Canadian Air Force, Navy, and Army into what is known today as the Canadian Forces.
Interestingly, he is yet another highly ranked government official who has come forward speaking out about Alien visitations on Earth.
Soon after he retired, Mr. Hellyer joined the disclosure movement and began ‘blowing the whistle’ on UFO’s and extraterrestrial beings.
Interestingly, his testimony is BACKED UP by hundreds of different highly ranking military official political leaders around the globe. However, in addition to that, everything Mr. Hellyer has talked about in the past has been backed up by countless declassified documents which detailedly describe aliens and their space vehicles.

Paul Hellyer and the no-entry signs at Area 51.
During one speech, Mr. Hellyer recalls the following:
” In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe. The supreme allied commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back to the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation, and they investigated for three years, and they decided that with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb. They are very concerned about that and if we will use it again because the whole cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. They’re very much afraid that we might start using atomic weapons again, and this would be dangerous for us, and them also.” – Paul Hellyer
“Many are benign and benevolent, and a few are not. They come from various places, for a long while I only knew about ones that came from different star systems, the Pleiades. There are extraterrestrials that come from Andromeda, and ones that live on one of Saturn’s moons. There is a federation of these people, and they have rules, one of them is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited. They have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and we have the right to run it, but they are very concerned, they don’t think that we are good stewards of our planet. We are ruining our planet, we’re doing all sorts of things that we shouldn’t be doing, and they don’t like that. They’ve made it clear, and they have given us a warning.” – Paul Hellyer
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” – Paul Hellyer
In an interview with CTV, Mr. Hellyer said that:
“Much of the media won’t touch it. “So you just have to keep working away and hope that someday you get a critical mass, and they will say, in one way or another, ‘Mr. President or Mr. Prime Minister, we want the truth, and we want it now because it affects our lives.”

Paul Hellyer said the dying official confirmed he was shown inside alien technology at Area 51.
Around 80 different species of extraterrestrial beings are visiting our planet. Mr. Hellyer claims that most of the alien visitors are harmless, but some of them have ulterior goals.
They flew him to Area 51 and let him go inside one and observe it and make notes and this sort of thing.
Paul Hellyer
During an interview with Russian television, Mr. Hellyer said that some of the Aliens “look just like us, and they could walk down the street, and you wouldn’t know if you walked past one.”
UFO allegedly crashed into Berwyn Mountains in January, 1974
On January 23, 1974, people reported hearing a huge bang, felt earth tremors and saw a brilliant light in the sky above the Berwyn Mountains. Families in the villages of Llandderfel and Llandrillo were settling down to watch TV when an explosion was heard and the ground shook. It measured 3.5 on the Richter scale. As people ran from their homes fearing another tremor, they saw a blaze of light on the mountainside.
A nurse who believed an aircraft had crashed drove to the site and saw a pulsating orange and red glow on the hillside and other lights.
Police converged on the area and emergency services were put on standby. Although searches were undertaken, officially nothing was found – leading to claims of a cover-up.
In the four decades since there has been a huge debate as to what exactly happened that night, with TV documentaries made and books written on the subject.
Some researchers have claimed a UFO crashed, with further claims “bodies” were retrieved and taken away by soldiers. Other theories suggest it was a meteor shower combined with an earthquake – the epicentre of which was at Bala Lake – and the misperception of poachers on the hillside carrying lamps.
Over the years more information has surfaced which has added to the enigma. In 2008 the Daily Post acquired official documents showing how Gwynedd Police were bombarded with calls and eye witness accounts of the strange event, with some convinced they had seen a UFO. They gave a fascinating insight into what was going on that night.
Did aliens crash into Berwyn Mountains?
Gwynedd Police Constabulary Major Incident Log – explosion – 21.10pm PC receiving 999 calls of UFO.
A witness who saw an object on the hillside said in a statement: “Saw bright red light, like coal fire red. Large perfect circle. Like a big bonfire. Could see lights above and to the right and white lights moving to bottom. Light changed colour to yellowish white and back again.”
A message in a police log said: “There’s been a large explosion in the area and there is a large fire in the mountainside. I can see the fire where I am.”
Telex message to chief constable Gwynedd constabulary. 22.00pm approx 23/1/74: Saw bright green lights, object with tail – travelling west. Saw about Bangor direction – dropped down.
At approx 10pm on 23/1/74: Saw a circular light in the sky at an estimated height of 1,500 feet. This object exploded and pieces fell to the ground. Mr ...... estimates the pieces would have fallen into the sea between Rhyl and Liverpool.
In 2010 key witness, retired nurse Pat Evans, insisted she saw something strange on the mountainside. At the time she said: “It (the object) couldn’t have got there any other way apart from being flown there, so it had to be a UFO of some sort. I’m talking about something that could only have got there by flying and landing.”
Ms Evans, who was living in Llandderfel, near Bala, added: “We just saw this huge ball glowing and pulsating on the mountain. Some lights seemed to be scattered around it and I just wish we’d stayed to see what the end result was – whether it would just disappear or fly away.
“We didn’t see anybody on the road even though there were various reports that we were told to go away by armed police and military etc, which was all totally untrue.
“We’d heard an almighty bang and we live at the foot of the mountain. I thought it might have been a plane crash. Me being a nurse and my girls being in St John (Ambulance), I thought we could help.”
She told how the object glowed orange, red and yellow and was “moon like, but without windows or doors”. Mrs Evans added: “I’ve never seen anything like it before or since. I have no idea what it was.”
A document from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency revealed a military operation, codenamed Photoflash, was scheduled for that evening. It involved about 10 military aircraft and a series of powerful flashes across the North Wales coast and Liverpool Bay.
The MCA letter said: “During the late afternoon and early evening of 23rd January 1974 there was an exercise from Jerby Range on the Isle of Man. The exercise was called ‘Photoflash’ and coastguards were advised to expect at least 10 aircraft taking part and at least 80 flashes around the Liverpool Bay area and the North Wales coastline.”
There was no more information from official sources on that specific exercise and if it was connected to Berwyn. A spokesman at the RAF Museum Research Department suggested photoflash operations were used for training exercises to illuminate the ground below.
UFO researcher Russ Kellett
But the mystery still remains. Researcher Russ Kellett still believes the answer is out there: “I have been researching this for years and I am convinced there was more than one UFO involved that night,” he said. “All the evidence that we have uncovered over the years has consistently pointed that way.”

The world's first hoverbike is officially for sale
The world's first hoverbike is officially for sale
Published on Feb 23, 2017
The Event Is Coming Soon - The World’s First Hoverbike is Ready to Ride
byPaul Seaburn
Start saving your bitcoins (or whatever it is you do to accumulate a sizeable pile of them). If your bucket list includes being the first on your block to own an operational and really cool hoverbike, your wait is over. The Russian startup company Hoversurf announced it has achieved its goal of … Making flying as easy as riding a bike. OK, a really dangerous bike, but that’s why you want one, right? The Scorpion-3 was unveiled this week by Hoversurf in a warehouse at its headquarters in San Francisco. The company – whose motto is “Aim high” (with an implied “Kids, don’t try this at home”) – began as a manufacturer of heavy-lift cargo drones with carrying capacities ranging from 90 to 2,500 kg. (198 to 5511 lbs.). That should be good news for the ‘bigger biker’, right?
Not quite. While based on the same platform as the cargo drones, the Scorpion-3 has a weight limit of 266 pounds of “amateur and professional navigators.” That’s a code phrase for ‘extreme sports enthusiasts’ and other adrenaline addicts who can ride a fast bike AND deal with it being 33 feet (10 meters) off the ground – the current restricted altitude limit.
Well, “fast” is relative – the top speed of the Scorpion-3 is currently restricted to 33 mph (53 kmph) but that undoubtedly seems a lot faster when flying. Hoversurf says its engineers used a standard motorbike design to make it easy for riders with cycle experience to handle the Scorpion-3. For lift and thrust, an electric motor powers the quadcopter propellers taken from the drone platform and can reportedly keep the Scorpion-3 aloft for 27 minutes – more than enough time to generate enough excitement to require a change of pants.
While most people are clinched into a worldwide debate about aliens, discussing UFO sightings in space, on Earth, and the sheer number of whistleblowers who have come forward saying that we aren’t alone in the universe, the FBI has a very interesting document posted on their website.
The declassified document states that not only have we’ve been visited by ET, apparently we’ve been visited by “beings from other dimensions.”
However, it is noteworthy to mention that the document itself DID NOT ORIGINATE within the FBI. The document –which is an extract from a 69-page document called ufo1.pdf— was written by a former university head.
Nevertheless, the document was treated with great importance by the FBI, which is something I find VERY interesting.
A rewritten copy of the report can be found below. (NOTE) some words in the original text are illegible due to the numerous notations and stamps.
The document, which was received on July 8, 1947, states:
This memorandum is respectfully addressed to certain scientists of distinction, to important aeronautical and military authorities, to a number of public officials and to a few publications. The writer has little expectation that anything of import will be accomplished by this gesture. The mere fact that the data here-in were obtained by so-called supernormal means is probably sufficient to ensure its disregard by nearly all the persons addressed: nevertheless it seems a public duty to make it available. (The present writer has several university degrees and was formerly a university department head).
A very serious situation may develop at any time with regard to the “flying saucers”. If one of these should be attacked, the attacking plane will almost certainly be destroyed. In the public mind, this might create near panic and international suspicion. The principal data concerning these craft is now at hand and must be offered, no matter how fantastic and unintelligible it may seem to minds not previously instructed in thinking of this type.
Part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control.Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this plane.
These visitors are human-like but much larger in size.
They are not excarnate Earth people but come from their own world.
They do NOT come from a planet as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us.
The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter.
The disks possess a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without a trace.
The region from which they come is not the “astral plane”, but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of esoteric matters will understand these terms.
They probably cannot be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar. if a signal system can be devised for that apparatus.
We give information and warning and can do no more. Let the newcomers be treated with every kindness. Unless the disks are with-(illegible) a (illegible, illegible) with which our culture and science are incapable of dealing. A heavy responsibility rests upon the few in authority who are able to understand this matter.
This incredibly creative ad from Gatorade uses a “liquid printer” and precision-timed strobe photography to create a stop-motion athlete from drops of water. What’s more, it was created entirely in-camera, according to the company.
The video starts off with a human figure being pumped out of a water printer. Okay, that’s pretty cool, but water printers are nothing new. But then the figure jogs over to a box and starts doing box jumps, with water splashing as its feet hit the box.
The figure stands and starts kicking a punching bag, which recoils with each strike. The ad would be pretty impressive on its own, but Gatorade says that the entire thing was created in-camera.
The water printer itself comprises over 20,000 parts, and took over 5,000 man hours to construct. The printer they built had 2,048 individual nozzles, which turned on and off within 2 milliseconds. The strobes were then set to freeze the droplets mid-air. James Medcraft, the project’s director of photography explains:
We’re using the flash to freeze the water droplets at a very precise moment in space, and we’re having to do that with millimetre and microsecond accuracy.
To create the motion, the nozzles were driven by motion capture data of a real athlete who ran, jumped, and kicked while wearing sensors. The water rig would then drop a frame-by-frame animation, which was frozen with each flash.
The result is the very impressive ad, that you can watch in full at the top. The one thing we can’t figure out – how did they create the punching bag scene without CGI?
Gatorade has shared a behind the scenes video, which you can watch below. How do you think they did it?
Google Earth images revealed the presence of what looks like an enormous staircase in Antarctica. Who’s responsible, aliens or giants?
A heated debate is ongoing on many conspiracy forums, fueled by the recent discovery of what many claim is evidence of an ancient and unexplained presence on Earth. Many claim the structure that looks like a giant staircase leading up the side of a massive mountain in Antarctica might be the work of ancient aliens and could be the remnant of a structure that was once used as a landing spot for UFOs
The user credited with discovering the unusual structure said he began looking for clues about ancient civilizations in Antarctica after taking part in a debate about prominent personalities’ recent visits to the frozen continent. Recently, Antarctica was toured by former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and weirdly, Russian Patriarch Kirill.
UFO hunters have claimed that the U.S. Government is aware of the existence of an extensive network of ancient ruins buried under the Antarctic ice, ruins which hold alien technology left behind by alien visitors. As a result, the NASA astronaut was sent to investigate whether the extraterrestrial ships that might still be there were similar in nature to the ones he saw when he was on the Moon.
The same UFO enthusiasts speculated that John Kerry’s mission to Antarctica served the same purpose. Why a Russian religious leader would be delegated on a similar mission remains a mystery.
THIS MORNING, IN THE WORK VAN, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CONSPIRACIES… SO I PULLED OUT GOOGLE EARTH [AND] CAME ACROSS SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE A GIANT STAIRCASE.”
While some have proposed the alleged staircase is actually the result of a topographic glitch in the satellite imagery, many remain convinced this could be the remains of an ancient marker leading UFOs to a landing spot. They claim that in ancient times, it could have been equipped with some kind of navigational beacon to direct the extraterrestrial flying machines to their destination.
The following comments paint a clear picture about what people think about this recent discovery:
“It’s more likely a landing site than stairs.”
“It does look like stairs – maybe on a pyramid structure?”
“I attribute it to fallen angels and Nephilim… high-tech demonic activity.”
“I’m not an alien believer but I do believe we’ve been all over this planet many times in our past.”
It’s no secret that conspiracy communities have long held the belief that pyramids and step structures served a different role than the one attributed to them by archaeologists and historians. Proponents of alternative history are convinced aliens with advanced technology visited earth in the distant past and oversaw the construction of landing pads and beacons. They imparted their knowledge to the people of ancient Sumer and Egypt, as well as to cultures in South America. Over time, the real purpose of these wrongfully-called monuments has been lost and our connection with the aliens now lies dormant under thick layers of dust or vegetation. But there could be another explanation behind this controversial structure: the equally-controversial builders of many other megalithic structures, the ancient giants.
The sons of the Nephilim possessed great strength, intelligence and they had a pride to match their size. Many ancient structures are credited to these proficient builders and the staircase in Antarctica could be one of them.
The recent discovery of the staircase comes just weeks after another unexplained ruin was found hidden under Antartic Snow
If there are pyramids in Antarctica, it stands to reason that our understanding of Earth’s history is incomplete at best.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the history of mass extinctions, rogue asteroids are not good for the planet. That’s why the latest news from the Kuiper asteroid belt is disconcerting at best, apocalyptically frightening at worst. A group of astronomers has uncovered evidence that a warp in this asteroid belt beyond Neptune is being caused by a mysterious small planet hiding inside it. Is this Planet X? Planet 10? Planet 9? Will we decide on a name before it wipes us out?
“The most likely explanation for our results is that there is some unseen mass. According to our calculations, something as massive as Mars would be needed to cause the warp that we measured.”
According to their new report in the Astronomical Journal, scientists Kat Volk and Renu Malhotra from the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory have discovered a strange warp in the solar system’s plane. While the planets and most other space objects orbiting the sun are predictably planar, things can get unpredictable at 55 astronomical units (55 AU is 55 times the distance of Earth from the sun) in the area filled with Kuiper Belt Objects. Volk and Malhotra say they’ve found a section that has an 8 degree tilt away from where models say it should be. That can mean only one thing.
No, not aliens. The Kuiper Belt is being warped by an object large enough to have a belt-bending gravitational pull. Volk and Malhotra determined that a tilt away from the norm of that magnitude could be caused by an object whose mass is somewhere between that of Mars and Earth, making it a planet. Is it Planet X, Dr, Volk?
“The observed distant KBOs are concentrated in a ring about 30 AU wide and would feel the gravity of such a planetary mass object over time, so hypothesizing one planetary mass to cause the observed warp is not unreasonable across that distance.”
Volk prefers to refer to the warp-inducer as a “planetary mass object” for now and casts doubt on it being the rumored Planet X because it’s too close to the sun – Planet X, if it exists, is predicted to be more like 500 to 700 AU from the center of the solar system. If it’s not Planet X but it’s at least the size of Mars, why hasn’t any telescope picked it up?
“The chance that we have not found such an object of the right brightness and distance simply because of the limitations of the surveys is estimated to be to about 30 percent.”
A Kuiper Belt Object
In other words, it’s possibly in front of a dense cluster of stars whose brightness overwhelms it, causing astronomers using today’s telescopes to simply avoid wasting their time (and burning their retinas) staring at the spot. That could change with new data from the Outer Solar System Origins Survey, which is tracking and recording the thousands of objects beyond Neptune. Or it could be seen by the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope which is scheduled to be operational in 2020.
Will that be enough time to protect us from rogue asteroids knocked towards us by this belt-warping new planet with no name?
You know, our catchphrase used to be “people really believe this stuff” and I’m always amazed at how many times one individual can be caught promoting outrageous hoaxes and still keep on doing it with many falling his absurd claims over and over again. They so wish to believe that there was alien (non-human) influence in Latin American history. It’s just bizarre. The latest is an incredibly fake-looking “alien mummy” said to have been found in Peru.
Screen shot of alien from video. No other documentation is currently available.
The “mummy” has the proportions of a human – two arms, two legs – with various strange features including an elongated head with three-fingers on both hands and feet. The body is covered in a white “dust” that the investigators say dried the body but to the more down-to-earth observers, looks like plaster. Gaia released a video featuring “scientists” examining the body with a camera crew. This is the only documentation of the body. The crew includes infamous UFO promoter Jaime Maussan who, without confirmation of this being real or not (and, let’s face it, he is SO EASILY duped), called it “one of the most important discoveries of the 21st century.” Maussan, who is labeled as a “well-respected” journalist has lost all his credibility over his years of promoting ridiculous hoaxes as genuine.
Red flags for this discovery include:
Maussan being involved
The obvious plaster appearance of the mummy
The reveal by Special Report “Unearthing Nazca” by Gaia with no sign of reputable scientific expertise
A closed team of researchers with alternative views that go against the scientific mainstream
No scientific results confirmed or retested because it has not been made available to anyone else
No documentation of location, context, or discovery
Promotion of it being a fantastic discovery that will “change everything”
Not published in a scientific publication
The specimen is said to have been tested to reveal an age of 245-410 AD, not an unreasonable age for an actual mummy. The method of testing is not made available. The specimens are not available for examination. There is no expert in preserved Peruvian mummies on the research team. The three-fingered hand configuration is nowhere to be found in nature but we have seen it on another Peruvian hoaxed item that follows the same non-documented path to promotion. Remember the “alien claw”? It has a similar plaster-like coating. The researchers also link the three fingers to petroglyphs that show three-fingered humanoids. I suspect that this is a stylistic feature and am waiting for actual experts to weigh in (if they even care to comment on such a sloppy, pathetic sensational display).
Cat scan of the body. From screen capture.
Xray of the skull. From screen capture
There have been other hoaxed “mummies” and preserved aliens or creatures revealed as faked. It is easily conceivable that this is a carefully (or not so carefully) crafted, even a manipulated real skeleton or other remains (like many fake mermaids). See the Metabunk post on this for ideas about the three-fingered appendages.
If we’re talking “alien” and “hoax” body or evidence, it’s not surprising that Jaime Maussan is around. The past hoaxes Maussan was involved in promoting include:
Back in 2016, Biblical scholar Dr. Michael Hiser said: “Jaime Maussan should not be trusted. Ever. He is a serial fraud-perpetuator.”
What we have here is a group of folks with an unconventional agenda promoting a questionable artifact that they wish to use to alter public perception of human history. But one artifact that you keep to yourself and that for all intents and purposes screams FAKE will not do that. So far this story has not received mainstream press but give it a few more days. The tabloids will regurgitate this unconfirmed, highly dubious evidence word for unverified word with lots of gusto and zero skepticism.
