‘Plasticvanger’ klaar om aan het echte werk te beginnen: weg met gigantische vuilnisbelt tussen Californië en Hawaï - HLN.be
‘Plasticvanger’ klaar om aan het echte werk te beginnen: weg met gigantische vuilnisbelt tussen Californië en Hawaï - HLN.be
RVDe plasticvanger werd vandaag getrakteerd op een magische regenboog.
MILIEUDe plasticvanger Ocean Cleanup is aangekomen op zijn werkplek en klaar om aan het werk te gaan. De veegarm moet midden op de Grote Oceaan plastic opvangen dat aan het oppervlak dobbert.
The Ocean Cleanup✔@TheOceanCleanup
Installation successfully completed. Thank you to the offshore crew for your work. We are ready to start the cleanup.
Het 60 meter lange gevaarte is ontwikkeld door de nu 24-jarige Nederlander Boyan Slat. Hij bedacht het systeem zes jaar geleden op zijn middelbare school in Delft. Het idee: een honderden meters lange ‘arm’ drijft over de zeespiegel, voortgeduwd door de golven, de stroming en de wind. Een scherm reikt een paar meter onder water. Als een C-vormige bezem neemt hij het afval mee.
De ‘zeebezem’ vertrok een maand geleden uit San Francisco. Na meerdere tests op open zee besloot The Ocean Cleanup dat hij klaar was voor het echte werk, zo’n 2.000 kilometer van het Amerikaanse vasteland.
De Great Pacific Garbage Patch, de nieuwe werkplek van de vanger, is een drijvende vuilnisbelt tussen Californië en Hawaï, die drie keer zo groot is als Frankrijk. Er dobberen naar schatting 1.800 miljard stukken afval, die bij elkaar zo’n 80 miljoen kilo wegen. Er zijn nog vier grote afvalhopen op de oceanen. Die bestaan bij elkaar uit nog eens 80 miljoen kilo puin en plastic.
De drijvende afvalverzamelaar is vandaag met succes geïnstalleerd en begonnen aan de grootschalige opruimactie.

Stephen Hawking will no doubt be remembered alongside Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and other great minds who changed the course of modern science forever. Aside from his indelible contributions to astrophysics and cosmology, Hawking was also a believer in the “many worlds” interpretation of quantum mechanics which posits that there are infinite realities and universes and that every possibility which did not come to be in our own universe has happened in at least one other universe.
To warn us of potential disastrous possibilities in whatever hellish reality or universe we’ve found ourselves in, Hawking left a few prescient warnings in his posthumous last book being published this week, Brief Answers to the Big Questions. The book contains a collection of answers to some of humanity’s most burning questions as me move forward into an uncertain but certainly weird future.
Among the many warnings Hawking leaves in the book is one against the creation of genetically modified superhumans. Hawking writes than in the very near future, techniques like CRISPR/Cas9 will enable us to “discover how to modify both intelligence and instincts such as aggression.” While Hawking notes that laws will initially be passed to ban such genetic tampering, it’s only a matter of time before a new race of Homo superior appears and all hell breaks loose for us normies:
Once such superhumans appear, there are going to be significant political problems with the unimproved humans, who won’t be able to compete Presumably, they will die out, or become unimportant. Instead, there will be a race of self-designing beings who are improving themselves at an ever-increasing rate.
Hawking says we’re entering a new phase of human history which he dubs “self-designed evolution,” one in which we’re able to change the course of our own genetic future. Of course, we have no idea what the outcome will be, but who cares? Let’s start cutting and pasting a few genes and see what happens, am I right?
You gotta break a few DNA eggs to make a superhuman omelette.
Aside from cautioning us against superhumans, Hawking also lays out a comprehensive warning about the oncoming rise of artificial intelligence and states simply that while “we are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is that there is no God.”
Hawking’s warnings aren’t exactly groundbreaking; these same fears have been mulled over for decades, after all. Given that he was one of the world’s brightest minds, though, should give us pause to consider if this truly is the direction in humanity should travel. Is a future filled with genetic superhumans and all-powerful AI inevitable?
How do you know when your close encounter of the third, fourth or fifth kind is good enough to be a close encounter of the famous kind? How about when the city where it happened sets up a UFO trail so others can walk the path where you were dragged by your feet into a spaceship and later unceremoniously dumped, scratched and bruised, back on the ground where you had to crawl back to your truck, which would no longer start, forcing you to stumble back to your house? Sure, a movie about your experience with Sean Connery playing you would have been nicer, as would the trail being dedicated while you were still alive, but the wheels of UFO and ET encounter acceptance move slowly. The good news is, Scotland now has its first UFO trail and it honors Bob Taylor and his Dechmont Woods Encounter.
“The Dechmont Woods encounter is Scotland’s most famous alleged UFO incident, and has featured in a number of books and TV programmes. The information board will help visitors to Dechmont Law find the exact location of the encounter, as well as give details of Mr. Taylor’s report of the incident.”
For those who can’t wait to read the board themselves, The Scotsman interviewed Tom Conn, executive councillor for the environment, about the new trail and retold the story. On November 9, 1979, forestry worker Bob Taylor claimed to have parked his truck near Dechmont Law (Decky Hill) in West Lothian and was walking his dog in the woods when he saw a flying dome about 6.4 meters (21 feet) in diameter with small propellers hovering over a clearing. Smaller domes about the size of “sea mines” allegedly grabbed him and dragged him to the dome, where he smelled something like burning brakes before passing out. The ships were gone when he came to 20 minutes later and had to walk back to his house. His wife later confirmed he was muddy and his clothes were ripped, while a doctor she called confirmed the scratches and bruises. The local police took his story and examined the site of the alleged encounter, finding “ladder-shaped marks” and small circular holes in the ground, but decided this was a simple case of assault.
Propellers on a UFO? Was it a drone from the future?
Of course, you don’t get your own UFO trail for a human assault. While other investigators found evidence that the holes could have been made by the local water company, and psychologists attributed his scratches and torn clothing to an epileptic fit, Taylor, a respected member of the town, stuck to his story until he died in 2007 and convinced many people over the years that he had been abducted by aliens.
“The Dechmont Woods UFO site is the only site in Scotland that officially recognises an event of this nature and whatever UFOs may be, there is no denying that this case stands head and shoulders above anything that has been seen in Scotland.”
“I was 22 years of age and I stood at the site two days later and saw all the ground traces myself. I’ll never forget it.”
You’re right … the trail and explanatory board will probably help his book sales, not to mention souvenirs. Tom Conn agrees.
“Dechmont Law is already very popular with local residents, especially runners and walkers, and we hope this board will help more people discover and enjoy the picturesque area.”
Do I hear a Dechmont Woods UFO Trail 5K in the works?
The biggest UFO story of the last year has been without a doubt the disclosure of the Pentagon’s now-defunct Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program and several pieces of allegedly declassified footage which appear to show U.S. military craft being stalked by unidentified and advanced aircraft. Among that footage was a video depicting an unbelievably fast and agile “Tic Tac” shaped UFO playing a two-week game of cat and mouse with the U.S.S. Nimitz supercarrier off the coast of California in 2004. The unidentified objects were able to easily outmaneuver the Navy’s F-18s and displayed flight and cloaking capabilities far beyond anything the U.S. armed forces possess.
Might U.S. air superiority be challenged by technology operated by unknown non-state actors?
The true nature of that object has not yet been determined – at least publicly. Was it an extraterrestrial observer? An incredibly advanced drone flown by a rival superpower? Or perhaps some sort of natural phenomenon which played tricks with the Navy’s instruments and cameras?
Who knows. A heavily redacted report of that incident was made public by that pop punk rocker guy’s weird UFO research thing and can be read here. To add to the mystery surrounding that incident, the air intercept controller serving aboard the USS Princeton during the Tic-Tac UFO encounter recently made comments in an interview which seem to suggest that the sighting had strange effects on his psyche similar to other documented UFO sightings, giving him psychic abilities and apocalyptic visions.
A still from the incident.
In an interview with Mike Damante, former air intercept controller Kevin Day recounts that the high strangeness he experienced during those encounters left him “struggling to make sense of what had happened.” For years after the incident, Day has experienced apocalyptic dreams of the world ending, dreams so vivid that they have given him anxiety attacks:
The dreams I began to have in 2008 can be loosely described as eschatological; world-wide disasters, comets causing tsunamis, epic floods, earthquakes, plane crashes, (and) end of the world scenarios. I remembered the ‘nightmares’ the next day and those dream-memories would trigger acute anxiety, which I experience daily even now many years later.
Day adds that since he left the Navy, he believes he has been stalked by unknown individuals or groups:
I do know that somebody has been watching me for years now… like the spooks told me ‘Kevin, the government spent millions training you and now they are spending millions watching you’ … they want to know what I’m going to do.
The interview takes a strange turn from there, with Day adding that he believes that high-frequency radiation from the Tic Tac sighting gave him a “strange psychic ability” which gives him the ability to control reality with his thoughts:
As it also turns out, the spooks already knew everything about me and what I had been going through before they met me. They even acknowledged the strange physic ability that I seem to have – which is, I seem to be able to manifest things and situations, hence their stated fears. What I think about has a weird way of becoming reality. It has happened now too many times to be just coincidence. In fact, I now manifest things on purpose. I also seem to have been advantaged with what I now know is called ‘downloaded information’.
Similar reported cases of post-effects following UFO sightings and close encounters are fairly common, and some contactees claim they were intentionally given special abilities or knowledge by visitors from other dimensions, galaxies, or what have you.
Let’s not even get into the probes.
While I tend to remain skeptical about claims made without concrete proof, one thing is clear: encountering such an unexplained and otherworldly phenomenon like the Tic-Tac would have a profound impact on anyone. Could there be something to Day’s claims?
A person from Battle Mountain, Nevada was scanning earth for artifacts after reading about an old crash story when he saw an unnatural looking triangle in the Nevada desert.
Below his statement which he has submitted to Mufon case 95617.
I believed it to be cattle ranch but on further looks believed it may be tourist fake.
After realizing after a month of research it can’t be, I became scared.
The only American I reached was Kristen Desilva ( He probably refers to Desilva who works as a content producer at Fox5-Vegas). She then suggested George Knapp. He never responded and next day Desilva had blocked me.
The object shows water drainage proving it is proud of the landscape. Water drains around it and across it. Soil looks to have come from lakebed. Explaining lack of vegetation due to salt content.
Three phase power line to site is way too much power for a mini ranch not to mention expensive to install.
Object is visible in the very first Google map from us geological survey sight proving it existed pre satellite maps.
What appear to be two large HVAC units sit on a building. Far too much air handling for a small building. There is even a perfect circular puddle visible on top. A perfect circular depression should not be there.
Everything points to being the crash site of the ELY sighting.
I think my communications are being blocked.
My belief is Area 51 is far away as a slight of hand to prevent expanded searching.
The lack of security here is to serve as to not draw attention, or maybe this is just a weird large equilateral triangle in sand, but it has no fence around it and who builds a triangular 1069 meter triangle, before it could be seen from above!
All attempts to pass this on have failed.
Coordinates Triangle: 40°20'41"N 117°20'48"W
The ELY sighting:
He says that everything points to being the crash site of the ELY sighting.
Nearly six decades ago, it is claimed a UFO crashed near ELY. That's nearly the whole story. You'll find a date: August 14, 1952 and 16 bodies recovered.
The microfilm on the Ely Times from August of 1952 in three different libraries with the same result but the issue from August 15th, when any such event would have been reported, is missing.
The distance between ELY and the supposed crash site is just 250 km.
Looking at the huge triangle it looks like an old footprint left behind from the actual crashed UFO.
The fact that he got no answer from George Knap as well as Kristen Desilva blocked his account is very suspicious like they not want to be involved in a cover-up case.
Could it be that the man has found the original crash site?

Fast UFOs flying over Maywood, Illinois 14-Oct-2018
Fast UFOs flying over Maywood, Illinois 14-Oct-2018
Fast bright lights were caught on tape over Maywood, Illinois on 14th October 2018.
Witness report:
The light was above the clouds. It was not a nearby business light. It was not an airplane.
I was walking home and noticed a light in the sky making a circular movement. I crossed the street to see if it was a light coming from a nearby business, but it was not. It was just one light above the clouds/mist so I could not get a clear view of the object. The object was going in a circular motion over and over while slowly moving north. It seemed to be making a circular motion over a (not sure how to describe) worm hole? If you watch the video on the dark you can possibly see what I mean. The object was not the same as a regular airplane. It was just one light the same as an orb going in the same circular motion. Please see videos.
This bright unidentified flying object was seen and recorded over Canadian city of Surrey back in 2016, but the footage was just released recently.
Witness report:
Watched object travelling opposite way of wind direction,quite windy also noticed 2 other objects traveling at high speed
I was watching my daughters soccer game and at half time I was watching a airplane go over head when I noticed the object so I pointed it out to my girlfriend and asked her what she thought it was,she had no idea so I started recording it on my phone , the wind was blowing quite fast and I knew it was not a balloon because it was traveling into the wind didnt think much of it till a few days ago when I was showing the video to another person when he noticed another object traveling very fast through the field lights and when I showed that to my girlfriend she noticed another one going extremely fast at the top of the screen near the beginning of the video have no idea what these are but everyone was quite interested eventually I lost the object in the distance
Stunned onlookers across China captured a mysterious UFO on film. Residents of Beijing, Shanxi province and Inner Mongolia went to Chinese social media to share their sightings on October 11.
Photos and videos of the interesting spiral effect have been shared across Weibo, a popular Chinese social media platform.
Many speculated that ETs had phoned home. Some said that aliens were testing the ability of people to know their activity. Others were convinced that the UFO was sent to closely monitor the Soyuz mission carrying Roscosmos and NASA astronauts to the ISS.
Several people commented online that the sighting was absolute proof aliens were active in China. In recent times, the country has become a hotspot for UFO sightings.
However, Chinese media were quick to dismiss the captivating images as nothing more than trails of high-altitude aircraft.
Contrails, chemtrails or secret spacecraft testing, no one can confirm for sure, but the visuals of this UFO sighting are one of the nicest.
Popular UFO expert Scott Waring first encountered the “alien cube” on October 2, when he saw a bright spot of light escape the Sun.
He discovered the object in a photo of the Sun, snapped by NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
Mr Waring interpreted this “mystery” object as an example of advanced alien technology, roughly the same size of the Earth.
The pixelated object pulled from NASA’s photos appears to be square in shape, with a long wispy trail of smoke or gas behind it and a white-to-yellow glow around it.
Mr Waring said: “The UFO is huge since the Sun is 109 times the diameter of the Earth.
“This UFO is an exact match in size and yet it shot away so fast that it was not captured on any other photos.”
The UFO hunter now believes he has caught the alien cube on its return trip to the Sun, documenting it on Tuesday, October 16.
Mr Waring said: “This is magnificent. This thing this cube – look at the shape of it, look at it – it is perfect.”

NASA’s SOHO Science Archive, where Mr Waring found the alien cube, is a downloadable program which lets anyone trawl through NASA’s archive of Sun photos.
The archives contain a mix of real-time data and solar telemetry with images and movies of the Sun.
Mr Waring said of his latest finding: “Do you see that? It left the Sun before, carrying fragments with it.
“It’s carrying fragments back. It’s carrying parts of the Sun back – look at it.”
The NASA photograph has since sparked interest online with people commenting on its authenticity.

Scott Waring, UFO hunter
Thomas Mundt, who saw the supposed alien spacecraft on Mr Waring’s YouTube channel, praised the UFO hunter for his discovery.
He wrote: “Excellent find again Scott. It's when you provide proof like this Scott, then this is why they closed down the observatories.
“There are many many more UFOs out there. Thanks for sharing.”

Another person, Cassie Henderson, simply said: “That is nuts.”
But what are the odds of a spacecraft being able to withstand the immense heat radiating from the burning heart of our solar system?
According to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the surface temperature of the Sun burns at a scorching 5,600 Celsius (10,000 Fahrenheit).
Deeper towards the Sun’s core and the temperatures spike up to 15 million Celsius (27 million Fahrenheit).
Mr Waring thinks the UFO is a giant cube dipping in and out of the Sun

It is hard to imagine any sort of spacecraft could survive near these conditions, let alone dive into the Sun.
The closest a human spacecraft will ever get to the Sun is the NASA Parker Solar Probe, which will approach as close as 9.86 solar radii from the centre of the star.
At its closest, the NASA probe will fly about 3.8 million miles from the Sun and will have to withstand heats of around 1,377 Celsius (2,500 Fahrenheit).
In order to survive these incredibly deadly conditions, the probe is armed with a 4.5-inch-thick carbon-composite heat shield.

Filer’s Files #41 – 2018 Aliens have Base on Moon - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Former Defense Minister of Canada Claims Extraterrestrials are on Earth, Astronaut Neil Armstrong Says Aliens Have Base on Moon and Warned Us Off, Fairchild Disc-type Aircraft, Project Silver Bug W as a Plan for the US to Build UFOs, Underground Earth Bases, UFO Sightings in Ancient Contacts in the Americas, and India Found Ancient Drawings with Aliens.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, +Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Ohio, Oregon, and Texas.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over, Belize, Canada Space, Croatia. Denmark, Finland, Iraq, Italy, and Montenegro England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Former Defense Minister of Canada Claims Extraterrestrials are on Earth
Paul Hellyer was Canadian minister of Defense in 1960s, ruling over the country’s armed forces during the time of the Cold War – and when he retired he publicly stated that we are not alone in the universe, and some guests from outer space actually live here, on planet Earth. Follow@SophieCo_RT338’Sophie Shevardnadze:Our guest today is the Honorable Paul Hellyer, former minister of Defense of Canada, and he believes that life forms from space are present on Earth. It’s great to have you on our show. Why do you say that UFOs are as real as airplanes flying over our heads?
Paul Hellyer states: “Because I know that they are here. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years and one of the cases that would interest you most if you give me two or three minutes to answer is that during the Cold War, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying southwest from Russia across Europe, and Supreme Allied Command was very concerned and about ready to press the “Panic” button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole.
They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for 3 years and they decided that, with absolute certainty, four species – at least – had been visiting this planet for thousands of years. We have a long history of UFOs and of course there has been a lot more activity in the last few decades, since we invented the atomic bomb and they are very concerned about that and the fact that we might use it again, and because the Cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the Cosmos, they are very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again, and this would be very bad for us and for them as well.”
Astronaut Neil Armstrong Says Aliens Have Base on Moon and Warned Us Off
Neil Armstrong
According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong, the Aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon. According to un-confirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a “light” in or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by a request from mission control for further information. Nothing more was heard. According to a former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA’s broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange:
Apollo11: These “Babies” are huge, Sir! Enormous! OH MY GOD! You wouldn’t believe it! I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out there, Lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They’re on the Moon watching us!
Buzz Edwin Aldrin l
Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin claims he saw UFOs and structures on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969.
According to a Dr. Vladimir Azhazha: “Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them after having landed near the moon module. But this message was never heard by the public – because NASA censored it.”
According to a Dr. Aleksandr Kasantsev, Buzz Aldrin took color movie film of the UFOs from inside the module, and continued filming them after he and Armstrong went outside. Armstrong confirmed that the story was true but refused to go into further detail, beyond admitting that the CIA was behind the cover-up.
The case for U.S. built flying wing disc aircraft (aka flying saucers) begins with an unprecedented true account by Mr. Jack D. Pickett (retired WWII combat veteran and publisher). During the 1960’s, and on into 1976, Jack Pickett and his business associate Harold Baker published for the Air Force certain club-calendar-events for NCO and Officer’s Club facilities for several military bases in Florida. It was 1967 when the Adjutant General’s Office at MacDill AFB (Tampa Florida) proposed a front cover, and two-and-a-half page article within. The subject was Vintage, Historical or Experimental aircraft.
Just prior to publication the article was pulled by the Air Force. Jack explained his story on my Atlantic City TV show and developed his story with Michael H. Schratt who made this Illustration.
Another researcher reports I have been approached by an anonymous source who is attempting to sell me a poster-size picture of a Fairchild disc-type aircraft. Asking price: $300.00. He has said, “I got the picture from my grandfather who is a former employee of Fairchild Industries out of Hagerstown, Maryland”. He was in charge of all dealings with the military/government and had access to a lot of top secret stuff. The STRATOS being one particular aircraft he oversaw. He did a lot of traveling for the company. He will not speak much on the picture accept for the fact it is authentic and a craft that was built by Fairchild. He also said the picture is of a model of the aircraft before production that is “20×16” that is from the 1960’s. An aircraft that was called the STRATOS was built by Fairchild Industries. The picture is black and white with a crease right down the center of it, it is posterboard material. The craft is a disc with a small bubble type thing on the middle of it. There is one fin sticking up on what I presume is on the back, this is like nothing I have ever seen before accept in movies. This is proof that someone in 1960’s had this craft likely built by Fairchild Industries. Jack Pickett described a similar aircraft as shown above.
Project Silver Bug Was a Plan for the US to Build UFOs
Jack Picket the editor of military news magazines helped me obtain a 30 page FOIA release on Project Silver Bug that showed the Air Force was developing a disc shaped aircraft in 1955. He had personally seen four of the craft at Mac Dill Air Force Base in the disposal area in 1966, and was asked to release a story concerning these classified aircraft. Later, just prior to publication the article was cut, because a disc was seen flying low over Miami. Jack had personally seen four of the disc shaped aircraft in the disposal area that ranged in size from 25 feet to 125 feet in diameter. The four aircraft were saucers shaped with vertical stabilizers (tails) with AF Experimental written on the craft. He was told there were numerous similar craft flying, but they were unstable and frequently crashed.
This “saucer” designed aircraft was believed to use two to four J58 engines that were also the propulsion system for the SR-71. The SR-71 could fly faster than Mach 3 and was designed in secrecy by a team headed by Clarence L. “Kelly” Johnson, director of Lockheed’s Advanced Development Projects office better known as the ‘Skunk Works’. The existence of the aircraft was not officially revealed until February 29, 1964. Skunk Work’s engineer Ben Rich is quoted as saying, “Some UFOs are ours and some are theirs.”
Project Silver Bug was the research and development project to field jet propelled flying saucers beginning in 1955, that would be dispersed to underground bases to avoid Soviet attack. The disks were capable of vertical takeoffs and landings, and would be capable of Mach 3.48 — faster than the SR-71 Blackbird. In the Project Silver Bug Report, dated Feb. 15, 1955, and declassified on March 29, 1995, he claimed the disk interceptor aircraft would be capable of vertical takeoff and landing; a maximum level speed of 2,300 mph with afterburners; a ceiling of 80,600 feet; and a climb rate of 1.76 minutes to 36,090 feet. The Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Division of United Aircraft Corporation developed the J58 engines that in July 1976, powered an SR-71 to a world altitude record of 85,069 ft. and another to a world speed record of 2,193 mph.
The Report on Project Silver Bug was issued by the Air Technical Intelligence Center along with the Wright Air Development Center at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. The Silver Bug report noted that a pair of ongoing U.S. projects involving the building of flying saucers had already occurred. The book “The Super Spies”, by Andrew Tully, 1969, claimed these discs were being used as “Saucers with Ears,” that is, for communications intercept missions.
The Silver Bug disc would be capable of vertical takeoff and landing; and performance greater than the SR-71. This performance was far in advance of any aircraft then and is roughly equivalent to the current F- 15 fighter.
The 1955 issue of Look Magazine state that, ”New air defense problems were setting up requirements for aircraft performance which would apparently be best met by a saucer aircraft. Runways would not be needed and bases could go underground with tunnels and takeoff shafts set in the ground, complete with maintenance bays, fuel, and crew quarters. Those underground bases, the article said, would be bombproof shelters for a saucer squadron. The shafts would be sealed after takeoff for camouflage and protection.”It is rather obvious that our technology has greatly improved since the late 1950s, and that faster and higher flying aircraft are available to the Air Force. Modern aircraft should exceed 5000 mph and 100,000 feet altitudes. Thanks to FOIA.
ALIEN UFO BASES’
Erich A. Aggen, Jr., in his article ‘TOP SECRET: (SEARCH Magazine, Summer 1991 issue), presented the following revelations concerning the UFO-Subterranean connection:
“…A great deal of UFO research has also led to the conclusion that various…species of aliens have set up secret underground bases in the United States and other countries. It is logical to assume that such bases have also been established elsewhere in the solar system. If such bases exist, where would we find them? Existing information allows us to make a few educated guesses.
Underground Earth Bases
The dark, cavernous world beneath our feet is the source of many baffling mysteries. Clandestine UFO bases may be hidden deep within the earth in natural and/or artificial caverns. As a former member of the National Speleological Society (NSS), I am well aware of the vast extent of cave systems within the United States. In my own native state of Missouri, for example, there are over 2,500 known caves and dozens of new ones being discovered every year. Many of these caves are intricately linked together by numerous passageways and interconnecting chambers.
“One particular species of blind white (albino) cave fish, the TYPHLICHTHYS, has been found in many widely separated cave systems over several states. It has been found in caves that make a great arc through Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and UNDER the Mississippi River extending into Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma! a vast section of the Central and Southern United States must lie above one immense cavern system!
“Many caves possess rooms hundreds of feet in length, width, and height. In most cases, these huge natural caverns can only be reached and explored with the utmost skill and perseverance. There are only a few thousand NSS members in the United States and only a few hundred of this number are active spelunkers. With so few spelunkers spread over such a large area, only a very small fraction of the tens of thousands of known caves in this country have been carefully mapped and explored. Thousands of other caves remain undiscovered and unexplored.
“Extensive evidence indicates that caves in the United States may be connected with caves in other parts of the world. In Mexico, the cave known as ‘Sotano de las Golondrinas’, (or) basement of the swallows, in the Municipio de Aquismo, S.L.P., reaches a depth of 1100 feet (334 meters). The cave is actually a giant ‘sinkhole’ or ‘hole’ in the ground with a nearly circular opening at the top, hundreds of feet in diameter. It is impossible to climb down the sides of Golondrinas because the walls of the opening are too smooth and “belled-out”. To reach the bottom of the cave, a special rope over 1100 feet long must be secured at the top of the opening and dropped into the sinkhole. Explorers must then descend into the yawning hole one at a time using special cave repelling gear and climbing techniques. At the bottom of Sotano de las Golondrinas are numerous ‘leads’ or openings to a multiplicity of different crevices, passages, crawlways, and rooms which have never been mapped or investigated.
“The entrance to Golondrinas is located in one of the most primitive and uncivilized areas of Mexico and local inhabitants are afraid to approach the cave because they believe it is full of ‘evil spirits’ which lure people to their deaths. They tell stories of people mysteriously disappearing never to be heard from again while passing near the cave entrance. These stories may be based more on fact than fiction: they are similar in some respects to UFO abduction reports. Because of its huge size, remote location, and unique geological structure, Golondrinas would be an ideal UFO base. Naturally camouflaged caves in other parts of the world may serve as excellent natural bases, way stations, and ‘depots’ for UFOs.
“An underground nuclear test called the ‘Schooner Experiment’ conducted in December, 1968, substantiates the theory that caves in North and South America are intimately linked. In this test, a 35- kiloton nuclear bomb was exploded under the desert of Nevada. Five days after the test, the radiation level rose from 10 to 20 times in Canada, 1000 miles away from the Nevada test site! The only way the radioactive dust could have traveled that far is through an interconnected system of caves extending all the way from Nevada to Canada!”
UFO Sightings in Ancient Contacts in the Americas
Itzamna
The Maya had memories of several white gods, or culture heroes. The first being Itzamna who came across the ocean from the east. He was a teacher. Later twenty men arrived, the chief of whom was called Colcolcan. They all wore flowing robes and sandal shoes. Each had a long beard and their heads were bare. Kulkulcan, as he was also known, instructed the people in the arts.
A tribe immediately to the west of the Maya were visited by another white man, called Votan and he taught the people how to cultivate maize and cotton and invented hieroglyphic signs. It is likely that the great white culture-hero of the Mexicans, Quetzalcoatl — the feathered serpent — could have been Greek or Sumerian or even from the stars.
Mexican Teotihuacan Pyramids
Stone and rock carvings plus examples of pottery all point to the inescapable fact that the ancient inhabitants of the Americas were acquainted with almost every race in the world prior to 300 BC. Evidence from North, Central and South America of Old World inscriptions, common words and customs, architectural styles and artifacts link the two. A hoard of Roman coins has been discovered in Venezuela, and a Roman pottery head was found in Mexico, and dated for stylistic reasons to the second century A.D. In Maine a Roman coin has recently surfaced, while a botanist claims to have identified two of the plants depicted on a Roman fresco in Pompeii as an American fruit, the pineapple, and an American vegetable, a species of squash.
From the depths of the Well of Sacrifice at Chichen Itza, scuba divers have recovered a wood and wax doll, bearing the Roman script. Elsewhere a stone sarcophagus was unearthed at Palenque by excavators who liken it in the style of the Phoenicians.
In 1966, a certain Manfred Metcalf claims to have picked up an inscribed stone in Georgia, now known as the Metcalf Stone. It bears text very similar in nature to Cretan Linear A and B writing and is regarded by Cyrus Gordon in Manuscripts, 1969, Vol. XXI, No. 3, as probably an inventory.
A coin found in 1957 by a small boy in a field near Phenix City, Alabama, was identified later as coming from Syracuse, on the island of Sicily, and dating from 490 B.C. In 1976 an ancient coin was found in the town of Heavener, Oklahoma. It was identified later as being a bronze Tetradrachm, originally with a silver wash, now missing. It was struck in Antioch, Syria, 63 A.D., and according to Dr. Barry Fell, “The profile is of Nero, with the Greek inscription on the obverse saying ‘Nero Caesar Augustus’.”
In 1936, Dr Charles Elvers excavated a stone pendant or amulet in Gallo Canyon, New Mexico. It was pear-shaped, about three inches long with a hole at the top. On one side is the crowned figure of a man holding a crooked or serpent-like staff in his right hand, and seemingly climbing a slope while looking over his right shoulder. On the other side of the pendant is an inscription composed of an elephant head, a triangle, cross and circle, plus two six-pointed stars. These symbols or glyphs were commonly used in the archaic Sumerian linear scripts.
As if to confirm its authenticity, there is a stela preserved in the Louvre, Paris, commemorating a conquest of the near-east ruler Naram-Sin. The stone carving depicts him standing on a mountain slope, holding a staff in his right hand while wearing a headdress and looking to his right.
Early this century, a Brazilian rubber-tapper called Bernardo da Silva Ramos was working in the Amazon jungle when he noted that on many of the rocks there could be found ancient scripts carved deep into the stone. Intrigued, he spent the later part of his life copying and recording these inscriptions. He found that the greater part of them resembled, often in detail, the ancient writings of the Old World and compiled a catalog of nearly 2000 such scripts.
Other jungle graffiti has indeed been linked to that already recorded as belonging to the Semitic, Indus, Phoenician, Punic, Brahmi and other peoples. The Parahyba inscription, also discovered in Brazil, was later translated from the Phoenician over 25 years ago and here is what this remarkable record has to say:
The famous Gate of the Sun leading into the city of Titicaca has an ancient god from space carved on it. Further evidence in South America suggests strongly that a Sumerian colony established itself around Titicaca, in what is now known as Bolivia, perhaps as long ago as 4000 years. According to legend the first Inca, Manko-Kapak, appeared in Lake Titicaca and tradition held that the Incas were red or brown-haired. A characteristic alien to American Indians but many mummies discovered there confirm this fact.
Huge blocks of stone found at Tiahuanaco were once held together by copper and even gold rivets. This was a method of building-construction almost identical to that used in Assyria and Eritrea thousands of years ago. The colony even used solid stone wheels, just like the ones in use by the Sumerians themselves, and were thought to have transported the huge stone blocks in this manner.
The tribe living around Lake Titicaca are called the Uru and elders retain memories of people of their tribe being scarified under the foundations when Tiahuanaco was built. The name immediately suggests Ut, which again is linked to the Sumerian civilization.
The Incas carried out mummification and, like the Sumerians, placed a metal disc in the mouth of a corpse. The disc was an indication the aliens arrived in discs and would carry the souls of the dead to paradise. They also built pyramids and obelisks, while using cups, plates, spoons and goblets much like those in the Old World. Likewise, both the Sumerians and the Incas held the rainbow as sacred and each carried their notables around in litters. While at a temple in Chavin, Peru, an ingenious system of air conduits still carries fresh air to every room in the building and a remarkably similar system has been discovered in the Cretan palace at Knosses.
Ancient Phoenician ship using both oars and sail
Professor Marcel F Homet, an archaeologist and scholar from Algeria, once visited the Amazon region to view its antiquities and made many amazing discoveries. From inscriptions found on the painted rock, the Pedra Pintada, professor Homet recorded symbols well-known in the Old World, such as the swastika, the double axe, the spiral and also the sun symbol. He also indicates that Cretan ceramics were discovered on the Marajo island, at the mouth of the Amazon and further reported he found an Indian tribe called Syriana, which in Semitic simply means ‘Our Syrians’.
Many archaeologists continue to dispute the authenticity of such evidence gathered from North and South America. Thousands of artifacts have been recovered over centuries from hundreds of locations, and from many countries of the New World. The real and exciting history of the Americas must be told and this undoubtedly means rewriting the history books.
India Found Ancient Drawings With Aliens
Many Indian Temples have what look like UFOs on the top
In India ancient pictures with a detailed images of the cosmos, the aliens and their technology have been found in ancient Indian temples.
Across the Earth, archaeologists and historians find thousands of testimonies about a possible contact from extraterrestrial civilizations with the ancient people. This and the legend of the demigods from the sky, and the various rock paintings of the unusual people, pictures of alien ships, strange statues, as well as the unexplored parts from large machines. According to alternative scientific theories, 10 000 year old paintings and archaeological artifacts can prove that the ancient ancestors of mankind actively communicated with aliens.
For example, one of the most ancient and advanced civilizations is India. In the temples in Chrome were found drawings that resemble more a fantastic film and literally show the horrific details about the cosmos and life in it. Local Indian authorities after the discovery of petroglyphs with aliens immediately turned to the Us Space Agency NASA for help. Local archaeologist George Bhagat said that the nature of the petroglyphs is not known to him. Found in India artifacts show that ancient people could visit an alien civilization. In addition, the drawings were done in natural colors.
It is interesting that the author portrayed not just aliens, but also space. It turns out that NASA is not just studying the drawings of the aliens, but also confirm the existence of the Anunnaki with Nibiru, in the case of the authenticity found in India images.
The fact that there is a theory that aliens from the mysterious planet actively lived, ruled and developed people. According to Sumerian mythology, the aliens were demigods, Anunnaki from Nibiru. They were able to build the ancient Egyptian pyramids, the English Stonehenge, to teach the Australian aborigines “fabulous art”, the ancient Greeks, the Sumerians wisdom and so on.
However, the opponents of this theory argue that the ancient people drew and believed in dragons and trolls, but that doesn’t mean that they once existed.

Filer’s Files #41 – 2018 Aliens have Base on Moon - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Alaska Object
Sutton— I was picking berries with my mom on September 13, 2018, on a beautiful day that I decided to take some landscape photos. I did not notice the object until a friend pointed it out weeks later. This town of Sutton is on the edge of the Alaskan wilderness. The object was beyond the Matanuska River.
Because I took 2 pictures of a very large frame within a minute of each other there was no way for a plane to come into the middle of my fame. My parents who live in Sutton have been noticing a “woo woo” sound over the town as of the last couple of weeks. I took a video but when I listened to the video I could not hear the sound. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Arizona Light
Surprise– Originally it looked like a bright star among other stars, planes, and helicopters on Octoberr7, 2018. . However, it stayed brighter than the stars after the helicopters and planes left. We looked at it through binoculars because we were curious and found that it was a cluster of bright lights. It moved up and down, back and forth, wiggled, split into two orb shapes then back to one. It moved slightly higher and westward over the course of an hour and disappeared after an hour. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Mill Valley — I was out on my deck and looked toward the horizon and was taking pictures of Oakland in the distance because it was such a clear night on Octoberr7, 2018. I thought it was a UFO. Bright ball of light, hovering with a beam shooting out, then slowly, then quickly moved south and disappeared. I thought it was pretty cool. It was a little after 8 pm Pacific Thanks to MUFON CMS
Baldwin Park— I was a non believer / questionable now I have no idea after seeing the sky light on Octoberr7, 2018.
Belflower — I was outside waiting for taxi on Octoberr7, 2018. Suddenly I heard a subtle thud and looked over my shoulder and saw two objects: One was triangle with four lights under it. It was being attacked by a large dull silver metallic object that was firing a white colored laser at the ship. Then two little orbs that were hidden in the middle of the colorful mist were facing the injured ship. A larger orb went a bit higher and further away but visible on camera. The ship that was injured stayed in our view with the two little orbs hovering with the ship finally after a 30 minute standoff between the UFOs. The large black injured ship kept its light on orbs and slowly hovered away South into distance cut its lights off or disappeared into distance. This film October 7 2018 showed two types of triangles lights around the sides like head lights.
I was terrified I thought they were going to crash until the cameras flashings from witnesses cameras started flashing that got the orbs attention so it stop attacking the other. I could only feel a vibration of sort. It was absolutely amazing, and scary. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Rods
Golden — Was on date and took photos of the view and out of 5 photos taken one photo had an object in it. The photos were taken on September 29, 2018. Note: Rods are thought to be some type of flying animal. .
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Pensacola — I saw the UFO and took the attached photo. Later six Navy planes flew in the general direction of the sighting and stayed in the area for nearly 15 minutes The object was hovering over water on September 23, 2018. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maryland Disc
Salsbury — While I was fishing on the Nanticoke River in Vienna Maryland on July 13, 2018,
I took this picture to show my friends where I was fishing at. I never hear or saw anything until I looked at the picture that I sent.
The object is over my head behind me. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Lights
Alborn— Three adjacent lights seen in nighttime photograph
Is this just an aircraft? No Sound. I did not notice it until I saw the photo. Photo analysis please. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Nevada Rocket
Reno — A strange spotlight appeared in the sky suddenly. It was surrounded by a large half moon of multicolored gases on October 7, 2018 at7:25 PM PDT. The object hovered for 40 seconds before it began to ascend. The light shining down morphed into 6 symmetrical lights shining all around it’s epicenter. Then it began to descend quickly and it’s 6 lights changed into 3 lights on the top only. It suddenly turned black and disappeared.
Note: The witness saw the flight of a Falcon 9 rocket launched by SpaceX. News release of the launch follows: A SpaceX reusable Falcon 9 rocket was successfully relanded yesterday evening, after illuminating the skies above California. The rocket took off from the Vandenberg Air Force Base, northwest of Los Angeles, at 7:21 PM local time (3:21 AM UK time), Bloomberg reports. The main booster stage then returned and touch back down at the launch site eight minutes later. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com
New York Probe
Utica — We didn’t see the green rod fly past the camera until we watched the video. It was witnessed by two on October 6, 2018.
Three UFOs and Green Rod at 00:27 were unnoticed and recorded from inside their car near Proctor Park, in Utica! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Carmel— I am a paranormal investigator. This was this was the second event reported by the homeowner.
In this instance the homeowner was out to dinner when alerted by a surveillance camera of activity at the front door. The house and property was vacant at the time. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Light
Chardon — My daughter and I were driving to the store and noticed a descending light in the sky ahead of us. I said, “Is that a plane crashing? “We couldn’t figure out what the orange like light was. I pulled over and we saw a black piece come off. I thought maybe an explosion was next and we stopped the car to look. Then the light moved and a trail seemed to follow. But then it hovered and began to move again, stop, and then a trail. We were bewildered. We lost it in the trees. We were both very confused for quite a while we kept looking for another half an hour. The black piece that came off was also very confusing. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oklahoma Object
Hitchcock— I was at my Moms taking a photo of my Moms flooded pasture on October 10, 2018. I did not see the object when I took the photo and noticed it afterwards and was quite shocked. My husband also was shocked at the object appearing in the photo, and thought it may possibly be a U F O. I was a bit excited and scared at the same time. Seems silly, because I’ve never been much of a believer and said I would have to see it for myself to believe it. This may be the proof I need! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Object
I was taking a picture of the volcanic mountains of Oregon on October 11, 2018, When I was checking out my photos I noticed this odd object in the photo. I never noticed it with my naked eye.
Note: This object appears to have been physically placed in the photo. Notice brighter area around object. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Rectangle
Mesquite — At about 4pm, on October 7, 2018 my wife and I were traveling south on I75. I looked southeast and observed a large rectangle in the sky below the clouds. The object was larger than a piper cub airplane. It had a dark spot near the leading edge and stayed at the same height and orientation. It traveled at a fast airplane speed in a north east direction. I took pictures of the object as we traveled. The sighting lasted for ten minutes. I am a 31 year Army veteran and security officer.

Worldwide UFO Sightings
Belize Disc
Tourists describe an encounter on April 1, 2018 of a UFO spotted near a cave in Belize;
An unidentified flying object (UFO) was spotted g at the Actun Loch Tunich (“Mother of All Caves”), that is located inside the Cave Branch property.
A group of travelers who were at the scene described the UFO about “40 feet long, with no wings, and with a dome on top.”
“ I have never seen anything like this in my life. We were approaching the cave and saw this mysterious object just hanging close to the sink hole and then it moved rapidly unlike any other thing I have ever seen in the air,” Steven Williams of Colorado, USA said.
The Black Hole Drop is a unique climbing adventure where participants get lowered down through the floor of a cave that sits high above the nearby jungle canopy. One of the tourist who was with the group was able to record about thirty seconds of video footage of the object that seemed to look a lot like Hollywood’s version of a spacecraft from another world. The man posted the video clip on his Facebook account and it has since garnered over 1 million views. There have been many claims by scholars that the ancient Maya were contacted by extraterrestrials thousands of years ago and numerous speculations abound that the Maya people didn’t have the knowledge or tools to create the massive cities and temples that are found in Belize.

Croatia Objects
Zadar — That evening they lay down on the beach at 22:30 and saw an unknown object. Our 4 children saw an unknown object at the distance of 5 miles and it was hovering over a treetop for 3 minutes. Object had an intensive fluorescent green pulse light on top of the object. It fluttered in the night sky at the speed of the meteor. After that my daughter came home earlier than normal with fear and very upset. She could not explain what she saw. I talked with all four children with each child alone. They all explained what they saw and drew very similar sketches of a cone shaped object. The dimensions of the object are 40-50cm in width and 60-80 cm in height. The object is dark with part fluorescent green near the top. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Denmark Object
On the flight from Denmark to Greece I saw a fast moving spot in the clear sky. I took a picture of the object. It moved so fast and then disappeared after a few seconds. The photo was taken on September 9, 2018. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Finland Lights
Turku— I was shooting long exposure shots of the city on October 5, 2015. I was just walking back home when my attention was caught by a bright white yellowish light. I first thought it was an airplane as it moved smoothly through the sky. It did not blink or have any sound, yet it was moving so fast that it had to be quite low. I started to follow it and watched straight up and saw at least 6 similar lights. About 4 of them were brighter and seemed moving faster and lower with slightly curving flight paths, two others were dimmer and moved through the sky from north to south totally in unison with parallel flight paths and in a straight line. They appeared to be much further away than the other brighter lights.
I have never seen UFOs before and this was a totally new experience for me. I started to shake from excitement and quickly set up my tripod and Sony a7. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Iraq Triangle
1.Iraq mid northern area. Sunset. 2. It stood out due to movement 3.Why is that cloud moving against the wind. 4. Moved in straight line. Looked like a cloud unless viewed through NVGs. Inside looked like triangle projecting a beam cloud. 5. Shocked dozens and was unexplainable. 6. Passed over hills on July 1, 2007. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Italy Object
Bergeggi — I was on the beach of the Straights of the Sea Tower in Bergeggi and I was sunbathing when I noticed to the west, on the sea a small light that sped passing from west to east on the horizon, and flying just above the sea. The trajectory was straight, very precise and parallel to the sea on September 15, 2018. It flew too fast for a plane but it was very small. There were other people on the beach by the sea, but everyone seemed distracted. The event lasted around 20 seconds. It appeared from the promontory Capo Noli and darted towards Genoa. I spoke to a friend who told me about her and her husband and their two sightings of UFOs! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Montenegro Lights
Podgorica— As astronomer amateur, I was filming sky in Montenegro, Europe, on 27th April 2018. During filming of sunset with time laps over mobile phone camera and stationary kit for filming, I directly saw two objects SW of my filming spot. I saw on the screen two objects hovering on the phone.. I also saw these objects on the mobile phone. I saw through telescope (Sky watcher 90/900) in that but couldn’t spot them. These objects were not on the Stellarium either. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Object
Strabane — If you zoom in on the object in sky you will see that it almost looks like an orb. At first I thought it was a helicopter.
I did not see or hear anything at the time photo was taken , but what do you think?

Award-winning investigative journalist George Knapp was a recent guest on Open Minds UFO Radio. His interview was so full of important unreleased information that we are providing a transcript of the interview here. Visit this page to listen to the interview.
Alejandro Rojas: I am here with George Knapp. Thank you so much for joining us.
George Knapp: Always good to talk to you, Alejandro Rojas and it was great to see you in our little secret soiree in Las Vegas last weekend; you’re a traveling guy.
Rojas: I am. I am all over the place, but when Jeremy let me know that you all were going to be screening the film, there was no way I was going to miss that, and especially to see you all who were there which was a lot of fun.
Knapp: Well, it was an interesting crowd. You’ll have to admit there was some interesting faces in the mix.
Rojas: Yeah, definitely. Some of the names we can’t share, but that makes it even more fun and intriguing for the audience, I think.
Knapp: That’s okay, you can say it. Oh, there is one you can’t say, but we’ll get at that, we’ll get at that.
Rojas: Yeah, yeah, we’ll talk about that. I guess to begin with is the fact that really this documentary was the format you wanted to share information about the ranch with in the first place.
Knapp: That’s true. I mean, I started shooting video at the ranch late ’90’s, of course, I’de learned about the ranch around the time the rest of the world did in 1996. There were a couple of newspaper articles that came out about the weird happenings of the property; mostly focused on UFO activity and of course the Uintah Basin already had a reputation well-earned of, has been a UFO hotspot for as long as people have lived there. So, when Bob Bigelow and his team went to the ranch, bought the place, set up shop, installed detection equipment and cameras and the team of scientists this on the property, I got to learn little bits and pieces about what was going on under the condition that I not talk about it until they gave the okay to go forward. In 1999, I finally got my first visit to the property, and then, started going back periodically with photographers. Matt Adams has been my most frequent collaborator on the property, and we were shooting video for what I hope would one day be a documentary project, maybe more than one. After a couple of years of making this business though, Bob Bigelow was concerned, he sort of changed his mind about the direction I was taking. He was concerned that if we came out with the film, the place might be overrun by UFO enthusiasts and other kinds of paranormal researchers. And in fact, it turned out he was right.
So, I put the documentary on hold, at least plans of any kind of distribution, but I continued to visit the property over the years, a couple of times a year, at least once a year, and would always bring a photographer and record what I could. And when we couldn’t go on the ranch itself which in particular during the vast of period which we’ll talk about, I would interview other people in the basin, talk to the witnesses, I got to know some of the Utes and some of the long-time residents, and continued to collect information. And I didn’t know if it would ever come out. I really didn’t if it would ever bear fruit because once Bob Bigelow gave me the okay, Colm and I to come up with a book, there was no turning back. I mean, we did our best, we used different names for the rancher family because NIDS had made that promise to him. We didn’t identify the location, we didn’t use any photos, but of course, people figured it out and started blocking to the property anyway; and it caused a lot of problems.
I think, Mr. Bigelow regretted ever allowing the book to go forward. In fact, I know he did. And again, I still made the promise to him that I wouldn’t go forward with the footage, and so, I didn’t. There were tiny, little bits of it that I used in public presentations a couple of times, but that was it; little tiny slivers. And then, when the property was sold in 2016, it occurred to me, maybe I don’t want to cause problems for the owner, but maybe there’s a chance that I could go forward with this and the new owner said yes, and Jeremy Corbell had been bugging me about it, I see you Skinwalker stuff. And so, that’s how it came together.
Rojas: When it came to the book, the book was a pretty big hit. I mean, it sold well, it got the word about Skinwalker out there. Were you all, including Bigelow, maybe not expecting the book to be as popular as it was?
Knapp: No. I thought it would be pretty popular because it carved a new niche in the field. There was no place quite like it and certainly has never been a study quite like that. I mean, it is the most intensively studied paranormal hotspot ever. You never had seen a scientist on the ground, boots on the ground doing that kind of research. Now, I know there are a lot of criticisms of the study and justifiably so, but there is no template for it; there is no sort of a guide book to follow for something like this because there just aren’t any places like it. Hessdalen is a long-standing study, but it’s mostly looking at lights in the sky, not the kinds of things that the NIDS team had to deal with.
So, I think that Mr. Bigelow probably regrets ever allowing it to go forward, but I knew it would be a hit. And a hit is a relative term because that book, although it’s sold well compared to other paranormal books, it never really pierced the veil into the larger public. And that’s we’re hoping to do with the film, is to attract a larger audience beyond the UFO paranormal field to even if it seems sort of rudimentary to bring people along step by step on how the story unfolded. We want to try to appeal to a much broader audience.
Rojas: I wonder, it sounds like you really sympathize with Bob Bigelow’s concerns with people coming to their ranch. However, you’re a journalist and I’m sure that you’re also, you have this compulsion to share information. So, how did you feel about it? You probably understood his concern that between the time of course you wanted to share information.
Knapp: Well, first and foremost, I made a promise to him. I know there are other journalists who operate differently, but look, this was a long-term study; there was no hurry, there was no reason to sprint. Of course, I wanted to tell the story and I would bug him and bug Colm about it periodically since I started learning what was going on there, and saying, “Look, we need to tell the world about this.” Eventually, Bob came to the conclusion himself and I think at the urging of Colm that after a period where this activity went underground, the Skinwalker, whatever you want to call it, this intelligence that’s there, it didn’t want to be hunted, and it made its intentions very clear in very dramatic ways. And it took his ball and wanted to go home, and when that happened, my arguments that maybe the world should know about it became more persuasive.
And Bob Bigelow figured, “Look, if I let you tell some of the story, maybe people will come forward with other hotspots that we could go study.” So, I wrote a series of newspaper articles in 2003 which means I kept my word for those seven years, didn’t say anything to anyone about Skinwalker. And I did a couple of newspaper articles and bam! they went all over the world. And after that, it became a little easier the cat was out of the bag. It became easier to convince Bob to let us do the book; again, without any photos and specific information about the location and without really identifying the Ranch family either.
And so, the book came out. And of course, he was right. I mean, as soon as the book came out, the place was overrun. I mean, not just the locals who would go out there in Friday night and take their girlfriend and have a little scare fest, or the UFO hunters who would really get obnoxious and go up to the property in the middle of the night, flash bulbs into the windows of the house, or the vandals who would rip off the fence post and steal things, or others who would go out there and have beer parties or whatever really caused some problems.
I remember being with Bob and having a conversation about that and I said, “Look, I’ll volunteer. I’ll go there, I’ll camp out, I’ll chase people away, I’ll be a security.” And he said, “No. We’ll do something else.” So, we flew on his jet, we took his chief of security and went out there on a particular weekend. And he had a bunch of equipment on me and I was in this camo gear and had like a million candle-powered spotlight and I was stationed at the front gate, and his security guy was positioned at the back gate, and we were chasing people off. And I wasn’t there 10 minutes at the front gate when the first truck full of people came up, and I thought they saw me sitting in the bushes in this lawn chair, but they have noticed me, so I jumped up and they were coasting down the road, they turned off their lights, and turned off the engine, just coasted right up to the gate. I jumped out with this million candle-powered spotlight and turned it on and man you could hear them shriek, they fire up this truck and peel it backwards down the road. And I figured by the time that story gets told online, it will be a nine foot tall bigfoot with a laser beam attacking me off the back.
Rojas: Right. It will be Gort, like the big alien.
Knapp: Yeah.
Rojas: That’s really funny.
Knapp: But after that, Bob could see he had a problem, so that was when he started to have round-the-clock security and he had teams from Bigelow Aerospace who would rotate in and out for 10-day shifts. And a lot of those guys, if not most of those guys had their own dramatic experiences, and some of them, as tough as they are, ex-cops, ex-commando, ex-military police, those kind of people, they wouldn’t go back.
Rojas: And one of the reason I’m curious about this is because I kind of put myself into his shoes. If I was in that situation, would I feel guilty. I wonder if you did at all? Now, personally, I feel like getting the information out is so important that it would justify it in my mind. Did you have a tinge of guilt?
Knapp: A little bit, but I’ll have to admit that something even worse is that I got a little quite curious thrill out of being able to know stuff that nobody else knew.
Rojas: Oh, yeah.
Knapp: And of course, you’ve had, I’m sure you’ve had this mental conversation with yourself Alejandro, what if somebody came to you and said, “We’ll let you in, but you can’t tell anybody.” That’s a tough decision to make. Now, I didn’t have that kind of agreement. My agreement was I couldn’t tell anybody until they gave the green light. These were people that I have known for a long time that I trusted and I wanted them to trust me, and I wanted to get around with other people who can trust people. I’m in an information business. I want people in that particular field and others who work on those topics and in sensitive positions to feel they can trust me; and it’s worked out pretty well. I mean, it worked out pretty well.
Rojas: Yeah. I mean, I am the same, and I think that is why I get in a lot of things, because I’m, of course, very careful about sharing information when they ask me not to, but I think you’ll find this interesting, is that the only time I’ve been in this situation was with MUFON with the Bigelow Project because they asked us to sign non-disclosures and at that time I was representing MUFON on PR, so I said no, I said it’s better, I feel for myself, if I don’t know because then if you don’t tell me what I’m not supposed to share, I won’t accidentally share it, if somebody’s asking questions, and little did I know, this was during the time that Bigelow was working with the government doing investigations.
Knapp: Yeah. I know how you feel. I mean, as journalists, we have to sort of figure out whether we’re crossing a line. I never felt I crossed the line because the promise I had made, I kept and I never revealed information. I knew someday I’d be able to record it and I wasn’t in a hurry because this was a long-term study, a long term project. And because they didn’t have any conclusions, there was no impending timeline, a critical point at which we needed to go forward with something. And Bigelow kept his word. When he finally gave me the green light, I was allowed to report it all. There was no restriction that I couldn’t report anything about NIDS. Now, there were–it becomes more complicated a little bit later, but I’m sure we’re going to get into that.
Rojas: Yes, we will. Before we get into that though, another fun story that you told us the other day was how you were used as bait; that you didn’t have your own experiences, but you were in the situation where you possibly could have, so I was wondering if you could share that story.
Knapp: That would have been 1991, I think. So, it was the first time I went to the ranch with a photographer to start shooting on the documentary. And so, I’ve been hearing about the property for over six years at that point, about the kinds of experiences that it happened both to the rancher family and to the NIDS personnel who’ve been on the ranch for a long time by that point, and there were some spooky stuff. The UFOs, wow, I’de love to see a UFO, orbs that they were talkingabout, yup, would love to see those, I’m not really crazy about seeing a cattle mutilated in front of me. There was a story about a giant cloud, a dark cloud that sort of step over the mind of businesses, but we can get into that a little bit later; that was kind of spooky. The 8-ft tall, 9-ft tall creature that crawls out of the worm-hole looking tunnel; that was kind of spooky. And then, in the middle homestead, which is where most of the really weirdest and most disturbing stuff happen, there had been a visitors to the property when the rancher family, the Gormans I’ll call them, had still been there before NIDS was there.
And he was, said he was drawn to the property, big Grizzly Adams type dude, drawn to the property, didn’t know what it was, he wanted to meditate and the rancher let him out into the pasture. He and his son said, “Alright, fine. You can spend a couple of minutes, we’ll take out in the middle homestead.” And they went off to the side and kind of kept an eye on the guy chuckling to themselves. And he was there in the field for a couple of minutes, his head to the sky, his eyes closed, his arms lifted up, and his palms on the skies as well. And they hear that cowbell off in the distance and the rancher realizes, “Hey, you know what, I don’t have any cowbells on my cows.”
And then, they see this thing moving through the trees, it’s like a predator, like in the movie Predator; a camouflage opaque sort of a critter, large, moving through the trees, it comes out of the trees, it goes right at this Grizzly Adams dude, the rancher was just about to warn him that something was happening and this creature gets right up to the guy and roars, and it’s a roar like a lion roar, you can hear it a mile away. This guy just about crapped his pants, he jumps backwards, falls on the ground, this thing, whatever it was in camo mode goes back into the trees and disappears. And the rancher comes rushing over and the guy was petrified, the rancher had to pry himself off this guy. They let him off at the front gate and he left screaming, yelling, “This is Satan, it’s the devil, it’s evil.” And they kind of laughed about it because they didn’t know what that creature was. Well, that is the spot where they stopped me to be used as bait.
So, we’re out there the first night that I spent on the property and we tried to do all the things that had historically attracted the attention of whatever it is. The arrival of strangers would be one thing that would do it. We made ourselves, our presence known in multiple ways. We built a fire out in the middle homestead, and did interviews, and made a bunch of noise, made our presence obvious. And then, we dug in the ground. We got an earthmover and dug in the ground just to move things around because that had been the most effective way to get the attention of whatever is there, at least, during the time that NIDS was there.
So, we did all that stuff, and then, Colm says, “I got an idea. Let’s put you on a chair in the middle homestead and we’ll leave you there and see what happens.” So, they hooked up like a couple of microphone, and a Geiger counter, and a couple of other things, put me on this little white plastic chair in the middle homestead where the predator thing had come out where the black cloud had come out, and they left me there and went a couple of 100 yards away with the cameras and the telephoto lenses to watch to see if something came to get me. And I told that story in the film. I was trying to be brave and everything, but I couldn’t quite get it out of my head. There were some bad stuff that had happened out there and I don’t mind seeing UFOs and couple of other things, but I really didn’t want to run into predator and have it roar like that. But nothing came to get me other than mosquitoes.
A lot of people haven’t been so lucky, I think it is an interactive quality, we can get into this later if you want, but whatever it is that’s there, it kind of sizes you up. The people who’ve had the worst experiences are those who’ve had a cavalier attitude or defiant attitude or confrontational. The people who bring guns, for example, and are going to take this on, I’m not afraid of anything, like commando, a gung-ho kind of attitude; those are the ones who’ve had really, really had some bad experiences that extend beyond the ranch. So, yeah, I was bait, I didn’t like it, and I don’t really want to do it again.
Rojas: That’s interesting what you said just there, about how the attitude has–it may have an effect. What was your attitude, I guess, what was your mindset as you went through this? Do you think you’ve, maybe, had more of a respect for what happens at this place?
Knapp: Absolutely. I mean, Colm had prepared me. He had told me that he always makes mental preparations when he’s going to the ranch. He would always do it even though when he was going there all the time, is that he sort of girds his loins in a mental sense, but it is a respectful attitude; we’re hear to learn kind of a thing, you show us what you’ve got if you want to show it to us, but I’m not going to push the idea. Now, the result for me has been I’ve never seen anything. I mean, I never see anything dramatic anyway. I’ve seen some lights on one of the trips that Jeremy and Matt Adams, and I made in the middle homestead that we couldn’t really explain. They weren’t natural source that we know of and not electronic in any way, it’s not gear that was there. And there’s some other tiny, little things that have happened during my business, but nothing anywhere close to the kinds of things that we described in the book.
So, I don’t know why that is. It frustrated me greatly because I don’t know of anyone else, who’s gone as many times as I have who has not seen something for, who has not have experience, but I hope that I have conveyed to whatever it is that I am respectful and maybe it’ll show me, at some point, when I’m worthy. but I’m kind of glad that some of the things that have happened to other people have not happened to me. And yeah, the people who have gone in with a bad attitude are the ones who’ve had the worst experiences.
Rojas: Yeah. I do want to get into it, because like you said, we’re all interested in this field, and want to experience something or see that what we’re looking into is a real phenomena. So, like you said, some of this is kind of scary and I was wondering if you could share the story of the black cloud that affected the researcher.
Knapp: I don’t have the exact dates in front of me, I think it was ’97 when Colm Kelleher and another of the NIDS staffers, a PhD guy, a brilliant guy are walking, again the middle homestead. They had two dogs with them; they would use dogs as sort of biosensors. The dogs would often give them advance warning when something weird was going on, that they either smelled, or sensed, or can see in the dark. And they’re walking in the middle homestead and suddenly both of the dogs go behind the legs of the two researchers who are walking through the field. And they’re huddling, they were kind of shaking, they’re scared of something. And these two scientists look up in the trees and one of them notices what looks like a black cloud moving; at the tree’s not level. And it starts getting bigger and bigger, and it gets into the middle of the trees right in front of them. And suddenly, the one scientist, the second scientist is frozen. And out of him, comes a voice and it’s not his voice, and it’s speaking–I’m trying to remember the exact words because there were a couple of experiences similar to this that happened to other people, but it’s something to the effect of “We are watching you.”
Rojas: Wow.
Knapp: “We’re watching you and you’re not really welcome here.” And this guy is speaking this stuff, and within a couple of minutes, he sort of bounces out of it; he was in the trance. It had taken over his brain, and he bounces out of it, he was disoriented for a while. When they went back to the trailer to spend the night, he had terrible nightmares and dreams, and it stuck with him, I guess for a couple of days. But that really happened and if you can make guesses about who it happened to, I’m not going to say it either way, but I mean, that’s a guy who’s worked for major think tanks, and labs, and the U.S. Military, and he’s a brilliant guy and he didn’t make it up. That was one disturbing experience, but some of the other ones that happened later were worse. I mentioned about these commando types; it happened during the BAASS period. I don’t know if it is too soon to get into that or you want to wait?
Rojas: Yeah, we’ve got a couple of minutes before the break, so I think we have time to introduce that in that there were several stages of the investigation. So, if I’m wrong and you can correct me, but it began with Bigelow and his National Institute of Discovery Sciences, correct?
Knapp: Yes. Bob Bigelow funded that study, created NIDS, he paid for the scientists, he hired them, he hired vets and trackers, and physicist, and biologist, and a lot of other folks. And then, he had people like Dr. John Alexander who were part of the team, visited the property, and then, a science advisory board as well. They would fly up, they’d stay for days other times, fly back, and they had hired local people as well, former cops, they had connections with the Ute tribe; that was all funded by Bob Bigelow and that continued through about 2003 when I was allowed to write the first article. So, the activity had gone underground, there wasn’t enough for the team to do, there weren’t enough paranormal incidents, so basically, they gave up. I mean, the phenomena had made it clear that it was not going to cooperate; it destroyed some cameras, it was just not playing ball.
So, that’s when they stopped, basically, with the study. And then, after that, after the book came out in ’05, then, they had personnel on the property, security personal, but not scientists anymore. There just wasn’t enough to do and NIDS went away. So for a couple of years, it was basically fallow. And then, in 2007, a guy from the DIA reached out to Bob Bigelow and said, “I just read this book about The Skinwalker Ranch, I’m really interested in it, can I go?” And Bob Bigelow said, “Yeah. Fly to Las Vegas, I’ll take you out there.” They did. The guy sort of got the idea that what is associated with UFOs might actually be a much broader perspective of paranormal phenomena, that UFOs are not an end to themselves, that it represents the tip of the iceberg, and he wanted to take a look. And he wasn’t there for five minutes, then he had an experience.
Rojas: Wow.
Knapp: And it was meant to be tailored just for him. It was in an angle inside a building, inside the home there that this thing appeared to him. And he was trying to play it cool and not let everybody else know it was there–
Rojas: Well, let’s hold this for a second. We’ve got to go to break, so we’ll be right back. For those of you listening on KGRA with your commercial break, for the rest of you we’ll share a short musical interlude, and then, we’ll be right back into this incredible story from George Knapp.
Rojas: Welcome back. You’re listening to Open Minds UFO Radio, I’m your host Alejandro Rojas and we are here with George Knapp. And I mean, what you shared just now I was not aware of and this is really fascinating, is that this guys from the DIA in 2007 came to visit the ranch, and you were explaining he had his own kind of customized paranormal experience.
Knapp: Yeah. This guy had–he’s a very serious, rock solid, brilliant guy who had read the book and thought that there might be something there of interest to the DIA, and The Pentagon and national security, so he arranged, he called up Bigelow, said, “Can we go?” Bigelow had him fly up to Las Vegas, they flew to the ranch, and this guy had his experience within 5 minutes of getting on the property, in the main ranch house hearing some stories from the caretakers who live there. And this thing appeared inside the house, in broad daylight, and I’m not going to get into details about what it was, but it was pretty distinct and remarkable and it made a very big impression on this guy.
So, he leaves, he tells Bigelow about it later, and he goes back to Washington, and he looks up Harry Reid, who at the time was the senate majority leader. They had some interactions on national security issues already, told him about that experience, and said, “We need to study this. That place is unique.” And Reid went to some of his colleagues, the story that I’ve told on air a couple of times, some of his colleagues in the senate. He made the argument that UFOs deserve to be studied and there could be direct national security implications, that by ignoring them it didn’t go make them go away, it just made them more enigmatic and they agreed.
So, they set up a program that, initially, was AWSAP. It was separate from AATIP, the program that Lue Elizondo was involved with. He wasn’t involved with actually for another year, but AATIP was the study, the occasional encounters that military personnel had with UFOs; that was an informal organization that existed within The Pentagon, different departments and different divisions of the military. And they would exchange information, videos would come in, they do analysis, and create files, and try to figure the stuff out. AWSAP was created to be something else entirely. It was to look at a broader range of paranormal activity. The DIA guy, and Bob Bigelow, and Colm Kelleher, and everyone associated with NIDS knew that UFOs do in fact occur in connection with other strange stuff; that as much as ufologists don’t like to admit it, there is a Bigfoot connection, and there is a crop circle connection, and there is a connection to animal mutilations. It’s not clear what the connections were other than proximity in the same time in place of all those different phenomena. And here, you had a ranch where all of this stuff was going on, and in that ranch, whatever is there, had in essence, given that guy from the DIA an engraved invitation to come back and he did.
And so, the study was launched. Harry Reid secured the funding. They put out bids on the military websites where other contractors to submit bids. I only know of one other entity that tried to compete for the contract. Bigelow created BAASS, that’s Bigelow Advanced Aerospace Systems; and that was a separate organization within Bigelow Aerospace that got the contract and launched the study, and it’s an amazing study. A big part of the focus was the ranch; that’s not the only part of the focus, I mean, they cast a very wide net and teams collecting information from all over the world; from foreign government. They had teams that were zipping around, as you mentioned earlier in the program, they arranged to have an arrangement with MUFON, and I’m sure they’ve had arrangements with other UFO organizations and researchers as well.
Bob Bigelow, a week after he signed the contract for BAASS to deal with AWSAP, he came on coast to coast with me. And he drop some really big hands to anyone who was paying attention. He basically said it, he drew great, big, glowing breadcrumbs about what he was up to, he said, “I launched this new organization, it’s going to cast a very wide net, study UFOs and related phenomena, and I have an unnamed partner, I have a partner in this. I can’t tell you who it is, but they’re providing financial support” and everybody just kind of ignored that, but there it was.
Rojas: That’s really funny. And that’s what’s really weird about this is reflecting upon that time and you’ve had me on coast when we talked about this before, but now that you mentioned it, I remember that interview and I knew, because I didn’t sign the NDA, but I knew there was some sort of partnership that I was not going to be able to disclose, and that’s why I didn’t want to know. But I was like “I don’t want to know,” so that was my attitude at the time, but you’re right. Nobody caught on–and that’s an interesting thing about all this is that all of us are looking for the government program that’s looking into UFOs out there, and none of us knew. I mean, at least in the UFO community, even some of the people who work with Bigelow, nobody knew about this relationship.
Knapp: Well, I did. And again, it’s the same thing, the same deal, is that I’m allowed to know about it, I just can’t talk about it. And I supposed if AWSAP still existed, if somebody hadn’t sabotaged it and taken the money away, it would still be ongoing, I wish it were because they did some amazing things. And the world isn’t going to know about it for a while and I don’t know when or if that information will come out, but it did some really amazing things and it was definitely making progress. And it’s a terrible shame that it went away, but if they were continuing to do the work that they were doing during that time period, I wouldn’t be here talking about it, I would still be keeping my word. And I kept my word for almost 10 years until the story came out. And as I have mentioned before, when the New York Times, when I’m told late last year. the New York Times is on this, if they’re going to break the story, I will sort of miffed about it, so why don’t I get the break of the story? I’m the guy who’s kept this secret for nine or 10 years. I’m not a paid employee of Bigelow, I have no financial relationship with Bigelow, I know people snipe at that all the time, but that is not the case. I didn’t work for him and I didn’t sign an NDA. But my word was my bond, and so, I kept it and I wanted to do the story, I don’t want The New York Times to break it, I want to break it. And they had this sort of, kind of gently let me know in a non-offensive way that I am not The New York Times, well, of course I know that. I knew that The New York Times was a much better idea. There was some risk, they had told people, if anybody else leaks the story, it breaks somewhere else. We’re not going to go with it, we’ll bury it; and that would have been a bad thing because The New York Times covering it, the front page story changes the whole media environment. It meant that the Washington Post then covered it and Fox News has been doing ongoing coverage and many other news outlets who, otherwise, wouldn’t come near it. Suddenly, took it seriously and suddenly it’s not as crazy to be considering that UFOs deserve to be studied.
And so, I’m glad I made the decision, that I figured well, New York Times will have some of it, but they’re not going to have all of it because I’m not saying I know more about UFOs than any journalist, and I certainly do not believe that, but I knew more than any journalist about this particular program, and I knew that I’d be able to have plenty of stories that I break on my own, and I did.
Rojas: Right. You have been and I’m sure you will continue to. One of the stories that you broke was along the lines of what you had just explained, but I just wanted to kind of get back to for a second is you broke the story that Harry Reid had heard from this third party about all of these things and that what inspired him to fund and champion this AWSAP program. But there’s been a lot of assumption that Reid and Bigelow were friends and that Bigelow had relayed what he was up to. Did Bigelow tell him as far as you know anything about the ranch before Reid heard from this other person in the DIA?
Knapp: Yes. Yes, but it wasn’t lobbying. Bigelow was not lobbying Harry Reid for a program. And Harry Reid actually represented Robert Bigelow when they were both young men in a legal matter involving the death of Bob’s grandparents. But they lost contact, they didn’t stay in contact until NIDS was created. And I had remained in contact with Harry Reid, I always had a good relationship with him even though I did stories that whacked him around now and then because I’m a journalist and he was Nevada’s senior senator. So, I knew he had an interest in UFOs because in 1989, after I first met with Bob Lazar and starting digging into Area 51, Harry Reid was the first person I went to tell about it outside of our newsroom.
Rojas: Wow.
Knapp: I thought somebody’s got to know about this, I want to see if he’s aware of this because he had been a supporter of Nellis Air Force Base, I knew we had an interest in Area 51, not UFOs so much, but national security programs out there. And I told him about it, we were in a limo on the way to the airport as he was flying back to Washington. He says, “That’s really interesting.” He didn’t kick me out of the car, so after that, we maintained a dialogue, a sort of secret back channel dialogue about UFOs. I would send him things from time to time that I thought would interest him and he would send me stuff. The Congressional Research Service had prepared a report for Members of Congress on the UFO issue, I’d never seen it and it never been made public, it has since been made public, but he shared that with me. And then, I would fly back to Washington or he would come out to Las Vegas, and whenever I would see him, whatever the topic was, the official topic and the reason for it, we would go off to the side and have a separate conversation about UFO matters, and it drove his staff crazy because he wouldn’t tell them what we’re talking about and it alarmed them, and I wouldn’t tell them what we’re talking about, and they used to ask too. And then, in ’95, after Bigelow had set up NIDS, I told Harry Reid about it. I said, “This Science Advisory Board is pretty amazing. I had been allowed to sit in on a couple of meetings, I interacted with the staff, I even made a presentation to them one time about the Russian UFO files that I brought back. It’s an amazing group of people; PhDs all around, brilliant people, many of which whom did not want their names used. There were two astronauts, I mean, you can guess who one of them was, Edgar Mitchell, Hal Putthoff, and Kit Green, and John Alexander, the people like that who were willing to put their reputations and their careers on the line to investigate this stuff.
So, I told Reid about it. He said, “You think I could get in to sit in on some of those?” I said, “Sure, you could.” So, he did. I don’t know how many of those meetings he sat in on, but there were a couple. And then, it sort of went away. I mean, NIDS went on its way, Harry Reid’s back to Washington, and there was no real ongoing contact between them. Occasionally, Bob Bigelow would donate to Harry Reid’s reelection campaigns which now, people looking to nit pick and to somehow destroy the credibility of the story, I can tell you they’re full of baloney.
Bob Bigelow was a businessman operating in Las Vegas. Harry Reid was the senior senator and the most powerful Nevadan ever elected and sent to Washington. Yes, Bob Bigelow did donate money to Harry Reid’s campaigns; small, tiny amounts compared to the size of the modern election campaigns, but still is enough that somebody that wants to denigrate the whole relationship, they can point to it and say aha, it’s a quid pro quo. Well that’s baloney, it wasn’t. That was in 2007. So, there had been period of contacts and Bigelow and Reid both respected each other and both understood their mutual interest, but Reid had read the Skinwalker book, he was intrigued by it, I think he had some conversations with Bob about it. So, he was aware of the ranch, but until that DIA guy came to him, there had been no proposal from anyone for any kind of federally-funded, Pentagon-funded research program involving Bigelow Aerospace.
Rojas: Now, when it comes to AWSAP another thing that you’ve broke, a story you’ve broke, and I always tell people, “You know if you want the latest breaking breaking on all of this, you got to go KLAS and the I-Team.” But how and why it ended because I think that’s a really interesting story as well.
Knapp: Well, it is. And the full thing has not been told, and I’m not sure–I can tell part of it because I already have shared with you some of the details, but it’s a multilevel bit of intrigue, and how the Pentagon works and how contracts work. In essence though, opposition grew to the AWSAP program. It was interacting with Elizondo and AATIP, there was exchange of information back and forth, and those two programs were separate for awhile, but they were cooperative. And it alarmed some people in the Pentagon who, in particular, there’s a cabal in there.
Nick Redfern had written about them, I figured out what his name for him was, I don’t think that’s the real name, but they’re basically high-level people in different intelligence agencies who are fundamentalist Christians; who think that anything involving UFOs and the paranormal is satanic, that by studying it we invite Satan into this world, and they wanted it killed for those reasons. I know how that sounds, I’m not belittling anybody’s religious beliefs, but man, that kind of a decision-making, deciding to kill a program that’s doing good work because Satan might be involved, I don’t feel better about the Pentagon when I hear that, but it’s true. Now, there were other factors involved, there was political intrigue there at the Pentagon, somebody sees a pile of money that they consider vulnerable, they will go after it just for other reasons. And so, the money was pulled out from under it. I’ll say this, Bob Bigelow continued to fund it for a year on his own, out of his own pocket. He had, I think it was 50, it might have been as many as 90 employees at one time, but at least 50 of these were curious staff member, investigator types who were boots on the ground collecting files, investigating reports, really doing solid research. In addition to that, you had Hal Putthoff sort of overseeing the creation writing of scientific papers, and several of those have now gone public, I made the list public early this year at the full list and their authors, and it was some solid work; it was well-received in aerospace circles, in industry circles, and at the Pentagon. People with all those papers thought wow this is great it’s looking down the road 50 years to what science and engineering and aerospace could be, and space travel. Exciting stuff, but it got yanked. Bigelow continued to fund it for a year, fought his damndest to keep it alive, but in the end it got sunk, and it’s a shame, it’s a shame. And then, whatever was left of AWSAP, sort of merged back into AATIP.
So, when The New York Times breaks the story in December, they are true. There was a program called AATIP. It did study UFOs, but the $22 million didn’t go to AATIP, it went to AWSAP, it went to Bigelow Aerospace.
Rojas: And some other intrigue which I think I find interesting, there’s so much–because it is complicated about this story that people don’t seem to get, but I have confirmed this with Lrslie Kean and she did, I mean, it was okay to say, but The New York Times had other sources than Elizondo, or To The Stars, or some of the other BAASS people. And I don’t think people–I think everybody assumes that it was Bigelow and his group that gave her that information for the New York Times story, but there’s more political intrigue in that there’s other sources we’re not aware of.
Knapp: That’s true. I mean, the primary instigator of that whole thing, the New York Times story is Tom DeLonge. I know that drives some people crazy, but the fact is he deserves credit for what he did. He put together this group of people and they developed the plan and he sold it, and one way to get it off the ground–I mean, by creating the organization To The Stars, he gave Lue Elizondo a place to go. If Lue Elizondo didn’t have a place to go, he might have stayed in the Pentagon and wallow there, we would never have seen this stuff. Now, Lue did start the process forward on a number of videos being released and he went by the book. There’s a paper trail and I’ve seen it, at least, for the first three.
I remember the first time I met Luis, two days after he stepped on stage with Tom in Seattle, and then, after that, he came to Las Vegas. And I had dinner with him and Tom and Mr. B and he had those videos.
Are there more? Oh, yeah, there’s more; it’s in the process. So, I think after he left, whoever was left over, it was ticked off and he had made this stuff public, and he had a lot of people who were really mad at him, who were surprised when he made that announcement, I think they may have turned off the spigot. So, I don’t know if we’ll ever see more videos, but he, at least, started the process. But the fact is TTSA, DeLonge and his crew are the ones who got the attention, then New York Times showed them enough information to verify what they had heard from other sources. And I think they probably would have shared those videos except the New York Times got them on their own, they got them from somewhere else.
Rojas: Right.
Knapp: And that is why to the consternation, I think, of Tom and his crew, New York Times breaks the story and they don’t even give Tom DeLonge or TTSA a mention, they don’t give them any credit at all. But at the time they were launching their organization, they wanted to raise money, they wanted a higher profile and they kind of got burned by it. I think it created some bad feelings. Leslie Kean did amazing work. I mean, she was the rock on that story in shepherding it because she’s not a staff member at New York Times, but she knew more about UFOs than anyone who was there. And I think if she had had her way, they would have written more stories, but after they made the big splash, they didn’t, they stopped.
Rojas: Yeah, yeah. And I still agree with Tom DeLonge getting, needing to be recognized and I have certainly spun that angle with everything that I’ve done, including my talk out here. But we’re running of time, so I guess I have to pull back and to get intrigue into this documentary which is–I mean, I feel that this documentary is very important and I’m sure you do too because finally the information is getting out in a format which you had hoped it would out at the beginning, and it seems to be doing well.
Knapp: Yeah, it was doing really well. I didn’t check today, but I know when the first day that it went public, it was, for a time, the number one documentary on iTunes, number one in the world. And I think the last word I heard Jeremy Corbell, the director, it was on iTunes number 18, not the documentaries, all films on iTunes.
Rojas: Wow.
Knapp: The top 200 films in the world, it was number 18 which is a pretty amazing thing, and it’s just getting started, it’s only been out for two days. So, it’s a bigger audience than the UFO people and the paranormal people who have been waiting to see it for a long time, so they are the ones who jumped on it, but there’s a whole big audience out there that is wondering what the heck is this Skinwalker thing that’s popped up on this list. And I think there’s a chance we could finally reach the broader audience that needs to be aware of this.
It may be too rudimentary and too basic for some UFO poobahs, but the fact is, this is not meant for them, it’s meant for a much bigger audience that wanted to engage and to realize these issues involve all of us. I’m not talking about some alien invasion or something, but the nature of reality and understanding our place in the universe and our spot in the food chain, we need to think about this stuff. And I think we made a breakthrough.
I am frustrated because after 18 years or so of trips out there, there’s a lot of stuff to report, and we had to leave so much out. The original material as well as new things that we’ve shot that Jeremy and Matt and I have collected and witnesses we’ve interviewed fairly recent phenomena including the new owner and his team; there’s a lot to tell. So, I’m hoping that it is successful enough that we can tell it more and I’d like to include the stories of some of the individual researchers who have been drawn to that place on their own and have had their own adventures. And I know we’re taking a lot of shots from ufologists who, for one reason or another, are ticked off to be on the outside looking in, but too bad that’s the way it goes.
Rojas: Right. I feel that way too. You can be excited about information coming out, or you can be upset because you’re not involved, which, I don’t know. It is frustrating to hear these people have these issues. My last question will be, to that larger population that seems to be out there – larger than I think many of us suspect. What I mean is the religious faction, the people who have concerns that we’re dealing with demons, what would you say to people who say “Maybe they should have shut that down. I kind of agree with those people.” How would you argue your point with them?
Knapp: Here are the facts. People can dispute lights in the sky or mistaken identification of different phenomena. We know that 95% of UFO cases, for example, are probably explainable. But the fact is our government has now confirmed there is no question about it. These are real. They are for somewhere else. They are not ours. And if we don’t figure it out, somebody else can figure it out. So even if you are not interested in the cosmic questions of who are they and how do they relate to us, what’s their interest, why are they here, how do we fit into this. Even if you don’t relate to that, and I can’t imagine any human being who would not, there is national security issues to consider. There is sometimes direct personal safety issues to consider. These things are physical. They have demonstrated a physical reality. They take different forms, different shapes at different times,It is real and we need to figure it out. If the Russians or the Chinese figure it out, they will exploit it. And I think that maybe they have made progress. Harry Reid thinks they’ve made progress, and Lue Elizondo believes that there are programs. I believe and have been told that during the BAASS study there were foreign governments in the Uintah Basin that were sniffing around and wanted to know what was going on out there. Now that’s seriously. When somebody uses mumbo jumbo and spooky stories and religious beliefs to put the kibosh on a scientific study or a legitimate inquiry, that is troublesome. You know what, maybe it is Satan. Maybe it’s demons. I don’t know what it is. Inter-dimensional travel, dimensional people, time travelers, all of the above, or crypto-terrestrials, or ultra-terrestrials, I don’t know. But we need to figure it out. If not for national security or personal safety, just for the sheer joy of discovery. It is very bad national security policy to say we don’t want to know about something. That makes no sense at all.
And, more to the point, are any asteroids that might be hidden in the Taurid meteor stream potentially hazardous to Earth?
A Taurid fireball – or exceptionally bright meteor – caught during the unusually strong 2015 shower by Bill Allen.
It’s the time of year for the long-lasting Taurid meteor shower. If you glimpse any, think about this. Last year, a team of researchers from the Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic found evidence to suggest Earth is at greater risk than we thought of being hit by an asteroid associated with these meteors. They identified a new swarm of meteoroids – icy debris in space, left behind by a comet – related to the Taurid meteor stream. More importantly, they said, this new meteoroid stream might also contain still-undiscovered asteroids, some good-sized, say, a few tens of meters (yards) or even larger.
Their study was published in 2017 in the peer-reviewed journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
Let’s be clear. We are no more in danger of being hit by a space rock from the newly discovered stream of Taurids than we were before scientists discovered it. So there is no imminent danger here. It simply means that scientists will be searching the newly identified streams of meteoroids, with the goal of detecting any medium-sized or even moderately large asteroids with orbits that might bring them near Earth.
What are meteoroids? They’re typically bits of debris in space, often left behind by comets as they orbit the sun. The Taurid meteor shower, for example, is produced by debris of Comet 2P/Encke. When debris from a comet enters our atmosphere, meteoroids vaporize due to friction with the air, leaving streaks of light in our night sky that we call meteors. Sometimes, a random meteor (usually not associated with one of the annual meteor showers) hits the ground, and then its name changes again to meteorite.
There are many comets orbiting the sun, leaving debris behind. As Earth orbits the sun, as our planet encounters these small particles left by comets, we see meteor showers. Some meteoroid streams produce only a few visible meteors, but sometimes Earth passes by a denser swarm of particles, thus causing a more impressive or active meteor shower.
These particles are usually very small, maybe as tiny as sand, or grains of rice, although the sizes do vary. New research suggests some recent Taurid fireballs – or exceptionally bright meteors – were produced by much-larger particles. At least one meteor observed in 2015 had an estimated size of about a meter (3.28 feet). Another very bright meteor – observed in 2015 and recently studied – might have been caused by a space rock 10 times more massive.
The 2015 Taurid shower produced many fireballs, or exceptionally bright meteors. Here’s another one, captured in 2015 by Jeff Dai in Tibet.
The Taurid meteor shower occurs every year, beginning in late October and extending through November. It usually offers only a few bright meteors. However, 2015 was an exceptional year for the Taurids. In November 2015, a network of meteor cameras located in Europe detected about 200 fireballs. Of those, 24 were very bright, and 10 were as bright or even brighter than the full moon.
Since then, astronomers have made an extensive analysis of some of the incoming 2015 Taurids and found that most of the meteors showed a trajectory or orbit that points to the same new branch of meteoroid material. And hence a new meteoroid stream has been found.
Then something else got astronomers’ attention. They realized that some large space rocks, including asteroids 2015 TX24 and 2005 UR, share the same orbits as the newly found swarm of Taurid meteoroids. These asteroids are now assumed to be members of the newly detected meteoroid stream. Asteroid 2015 TX24 – discovered on October 8, 2015 – was closest to Earth 20 days later, on October 28, a date very close to the Taurid meteor shower’s enhanced activity in 2015.
These asteroids are between 200 and 300 meters (656 and 984 feet) in diameter.
And so it appears likely that the newly discovered meteoroid streams contains other still-undiscovered, but relatively large, space rocks.
Remember, some Taurid meteors encounter Earth’s atmosphere each year. Is it possible that larger objects in the newly found Taurid meteor stream might also encounter Earth? For this reason, astronomers speak of these objects as potentially hazardous. They say the objects would be large enough to cause some regional damage if they were indeed to strike Earth, but – as yet – no asteroid has been identified as threatening or having a collision course with Earth.
Clearly, further research and observations are needed.
Some bright meteors were seen during the enhanced Taurid meteor shower of November 2015, including this impressive meteor seen in Thailand:
Bottom line: A new stream of meteoroidal material has been discovered for the Taurids. Some relatively large asteroids are known to be in this same orbit. Could there be potentially hazardous asteroids in the stream as well?
Six Commercial Aircrafts Simultaneously Reported UFO Sightings In Chile
Six Commercial Aircrafts Simultaneously Reported UFO Sightings In Chile
While in flight, 6 commercial airplanes simultaneously sighted 3 moving lights that until now appear to be unidentified objects.
The mysterious story happened last May last, but it was talked about again a few days ago, because the conversations of the pilots on board were released.
At 3:00 am, a Lan flight reported the presence of some lights that were close to the checkpoint, called Livor.
A short time later, a pilot of the Copa airline confirmed it with a photograph:
3 unknown bright objects were captured. In total, 5 flights of Lan Chile and 1 of Copa indicated, almost simultaneously, the 3 sightings that both for the pilots and for those who were in the control post located 380 km east of Antofagasta were something out of the ordinary.
The 'Centro de Investigación de Fenómenos Anómalos de Chile' (Ceifac) published a video with the recordings of the aviators. Due to the movement of the objects, one of the flights had to deviate 20 miles from its route, to guarantee the safety of the passengers.
This is the link too the video with the recordings of the aviators!
Cup 174: We have the lights on the left and apparently one is disappearing. Affirmative, it seems to be at the same altitude as us.
Lan 639: Santiago, Lan Chile 639, can you give us the identification of the traffic that precedes us?
ATC (Air Traffic Controller): The transit that precedes them is the Lan Per 2473.
Lan 639: 2473 ... eeeh, observe (...)
Lan 2473: Forward for 2473.
Lan 639: Position, down. Apparently over the sea. Could you also identify another light?
Lan 2473: Let us be attentive. We have a light in sight, approximately at 4 o'clock in our position. Where 2 was, now there is only one.
Lan 79: Affirmative, now I see clearly, a little further south from (...), at sea level, a very small light appears and disappears.
Lan 2473: exactly
Cup 174: Cup 174, to Livor, 340 and now we have 3 lights. We are on the right of Livor 340 and the lights are on the left, approximately 10 o'clock in our position.
The lights are moving and they increase the intensity and decrease it too.
In fact, we are going to turn right because it looks like they are approaching.
After these first events, the Control Tower decided to communicate with the Oceanic Air Traffic Controller, in charge of verifying the traffic of those ships that move over the sea, beyond what the radars can cover from land.
ATC: Very good day
ATC Oceánico: Good day
ATC: You have a note there with Ufos, at Livor's block
Ocean ATC: Yes, it's full of UFOs there.
ATC: Really?
ATC Oceánico: Of course! That's why the Cup and the Lan 639 and 2473 were also seen.
ATC: Haha! How good!
Minutes later, more flights witnessed the same 3 unique lights.
Cup 174: What a strange phenomenon. Now we have 3 lights in the shape of a triangle.
Lan 501: Lan Chile 501 and there it is, the third light appeared.
Lan 577: Yes, about 60 miles from Livor and we also confirmed (...) Yes, between 2 and 3 o'clock.
It could be about 2 thousand feet below and distance about 20 or 30 miles.
Lan 501: Affirmative, we have them at this moment almost at 3. one more intense than the other and, they are 2 lights.
The control tower opted to inform another aeronautical authority of the facts.
ATC: Good morning, sir, from here at the Oceanic Control Center in Santiago.
COA: Good morning
ATC: Good morning, what happens is that there is a very strange situation in the Livor sector. In the airway, Live For Lima, 780, there are about 5.6 aircraft that have reported light movement. 2, 4 to 4 lights in that sector, to the East. To the east of the Livor sector, at or below their level.
And still that situation is maintained, 3 aircraft passed that notified that. In fact, one aircraft was diverted 20 miles to avoid.
At a height of 32 thousand approximately
Now, there are 2 traffics that come by the same area from the United States and they are flying over the sector and they also have them in sight at 2 or at 3 o'clock; over the sea.
This Is How The Pentagon Tried To Close The Roswell UFO Investigation... And Failed
This Is How The Pentagon Tried To Close The Roswell UFO Investigation... And Failed
This is the official Pentagon Roswell UFO crash press conference from 1997. With this event, the Pentagon tried to end all remaining speculations around the Roswell UFO crash. Stupidly, they showed only recordings of experiments that were done years or decades after the UFO crash.
If these government and scientific experiments happened during the Roswell incident time period (around 1947) I would definitely consider it but there are literally years between them. Jim Marrs does an excellent debunk right after the press conference live on national television.
When the U.S. football field–size, cigar-shaped object ‘Oumuamua entered our solar system last year, it didn’t just give us our first glimpse of an interstellar piece of rock. It also bolstered the plausibility of space rocks spreading life among the stars by ferrying microbes between distant star systems, according to a new study. “Life could potentially be exchanged over thousands of light-years,” says author Idan Ginsburg, a postdoc at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The idea, known as panspermia, has been around for centuries. Some astronomers have even speculated that life on Earth was seeded by microbes that hitched a ride on debris ejected from another life-harboring world in the solar system, perhaps on meteorites from Mars. But it seemed improbable that life could have come from interstellar space.
Take computer simulations in 2003 by planetary scientist H. Jay Melosh, now at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana. The analysis revealed that about a third of the meteorites shot off Earth were eventually thrown out of the solar system by Jupiter or Saturn, but that the process took millions or tens of millions of years—a long stretch for even the toughest bugs or spores to be exposed to the vacuum and radiation of space. And vanishingly few rocks would ever be captured by some distant system, Melosh found.
The outlook improves if the receiving system is a binary star, which has a more complex gravitational field than the solar system. Yet any system that’s good at capturing is also good at ejecting, meaning refugees from another system are far more likely to be tossed back out in a game of interstellar hot potato than to settle on a hospitable world.
‘Oumuamua is providing fresh hope for the idea of galactic panspermia. For the telescopic survey that found it, the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, to have detected such an object in the region it had scanned, our Galaxy needs to have 1 trillion of them per cubic light-year, according to study published earlier this year. To fill space like this, every star in the Milky Way would have to eject 10 quadrillion such objects, and a few should be passing through our solar system at any given moment.
In the new study, Ginsburg, along with astrophysicists Manasvi Lingam and Abraham Loeb, also of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, calculated the chances of such objects delivering life to an alien world. A binary star such as Alpha Centauri would ensnare a few thousand rocks of ‘Oumuamua’s size every year, and our solar system might snag one a century, the team estimates in a preprint posted last week on arXiv and in a forthcoming paper in The Astronomical Journal.
The researchers then multiplied this capture rate by the number of stars an interstellar object will encounter before whatever bugs it carries all die. If the objects move, like ‘Oumuamua, at a velocity of 26 kilometers per second through interstellar space, 10 million of them will be captured somewhere in the Milky Way in a million years. “If you look at the galaxy as a whole, you expect this to happen fairly often,” Ginsburg says.
Astronomer Jason Wright of Pennsylvania State University in State College says the analysis has merit: “For reasonable numbers, this suggests that planets and asteroids are commonly exchanged between stars.”
But astronomer Ed Turner of Princeton University says the authors may be reading too much into the single example of ‘Oumuamua. “There’s no rigorous mathematical argument you can write about one event evaluated a posteriori,” he says.
And even if our galaxy is thick with ‘Oumuamuas, they are unlikely vectors of panspermia, Melosh says. ‘Oumuamua is way too big to have been ejected from an inhabited planet, he says.
Still, Loeb says more data could settle where galactic panspermia is plausible. Additional discoveries of interstellar interlopers would clarify their prevalence, and Loeb says the detection of life on other worlds would show whether it tends to cluster, as it would if it arose in one place and spread elsewhere by panspermia. If so, he says, our entire galaxy might be considered biologically interconnected, its vast distances offset by vast spans of time and the vast number of objects that set out to cross the void.

Record Breaker: 4 Huge Alien Planets Spotted Around Baby Star
Record Breaker: 4 Huge Alien Planets Spotted Around Baby Star
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer

In an astronomical first, four gigantic planets have been detected around a very young star, a new study reports.
The star in question is CI Tau, which lies about 500 light-years from Earth. CI Tau is just 2 million years old and is still surrounded by a swirling clump of dust and gas known as a protoplanetary disk.
The star was already known to host one planet, a world about 10 times more massive than Jupiter that circles CI Tau once every nine Earth days. This planet, called CI Tau b, was the first "hot Jupiter" ever discovered around such a young star. [Gallery: The Strangest Alien Planets]
In the new study, a team of researchers observed CI Tau and its disk with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a network of radio telescopes in the Chilean Andes. ALMA spotted three additional gaps in the disk, at distances of 13, 39 and 100 astronomical units (AU) from the star, the astronomers report. (One AU is the Earth-sun distance — about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers).
So it seems that CI Tau b has three siblings. And these newfound worlds are big, too: The team's work suggests the innermost of the three is about as massive as Jupiter, while the outer two have Saturn-esque heft.
Astronomers had never spotted four gas-giant planets around such a young star before, study team members said. And the orbital range — the outermost planet lies about 1,000 times farther from CI Tau than the innermost world does — is extreme as well, the researchers added.
Indeed, it's unclear how the two outermost planets were able to take shape.
"Saturn-mass planets are supposed to form by first accumulating a solid core and then pulling in a layer of gas on top, but these processes are supposed to be very slow at large distances from the star," study lead author Cathie Clarke, of the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge in England, said in a statement. "Most models will struggle to make planets of this mass at this distance."
It's also unclear what role, if any, the sibling planets played in driving CI Tau b to its super-tight orbit, study team members said. Observing the bizarre system further with other telescopes may help answer these and other questions, study team members said.
