Let’s face it. Forget Musk, Bezos, Branson and the rest of the billionaires trying to become private space entrepreneurs … NASA would be in big trouble without the old-but-reliable-even-with-its-problems Russian space program — Roscosmos. But don’t let those dented and shopworn Soyuz capsules fool you – Roscosmos is eyeing the future and may beat the U.S. to the Moon the next time around … not by man, but by avatar.

“This is about creating a long-term base, naturally, not habitable, but visited. But basically it is the transition to robotic systems, to avatars that will solve tasks on the surface of the moon.”

Dmitry Rogozin, Director General of Roscosmos, revealed his futuristic-yet-feasible plans this week through the state-run news agency RIA Novosti. He likened them to NASA’s vision and subsequent success in the 1960s and 1970s to put the first human on the Moon, with a dig that his is “more ambitious and responsible.” “Responsible” is easier to achieve from Day 1 – avatars do not create waste that must be either stored for transport or disposed of in a way that doesn’t sully the environment.

While what happens on the lunar surface may be ambitious, getting there will still rely on the current Angara carrier rocket and Soyuz spacecraft, allowing Russia’s efforts for new development to focus solely on the robotic work and exploration forces that will ride them to the Moon. That includes heavy use of 3D printing to lessen the load sent with them, including the possible use of lunar soil as a raw material for the 3D printers.

“Plus, there will be an opportunity, as they say at the Academy of Sciences, to use helium-3 as the basis for rocket fuel.”

The Russian Academy of Sciences agrees with NASA and the ESA in the idea that helium-3 – the non-radioactive isotope of helium constantly being brought to the Moon by solar wind – can and should be mined and used as a safe nuclear fuel for a fusion reactor, with the added benefit that its spent fuel is not radioactive.

All of this sounds so doable right now. When will we see Russia take the lead in making science imitate science fiction?

“The first landing of the Russian cosmonaut is scheduled for 2030.”

That whooshing sound is not from balloons but from hopes deflating and the reality setting in that we’re still dealing with antiquated technology, limited budgets, massive bureaucracies and a public (at least in the U.S.) that is slowly losing its faith and trust is science.

Forget Musk, Bezos, Branson and the rest of the billionaires trying to become private space entrepreneurs. It’s time to do an avatar GoFundMe and hire James Cameron!

The first part of this article told (in his own words) the strange saga of a man named Ray Boeche. Part-One started as follows: “My previous article was on the subjects of (A) how the UFO phenomenon might be a threat to our physical and mental health; and (B) why the Men in  Black might not be bad guys, after all. Rather, they just might actually be good guys trying to warn us of the hazards that the same phenomenon might pose. I thought I would follow-up that article with one which graphically demonstrates the dangers that UFO entities and their powers might pose. We have to go way back to November 25, 1991. On that date, Ray Boeche – a priest and a former State-Director with MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network) – had a very strange meeting at Lincoln, Nebraska’s Cornhusker Hotel. It was a meeting with a couple of guys who worked on a highly classified program within the U.S. Department of Defense. Now, with that said, I’ll hand the story over to Ray himself, who I extensively interviewed for my Final Events book.”

And here, in Part-Two, are Ray’s words on what was undoubtedly the most disturbing – and even deadly – part of the story. Why so? Because it all ended in three strange and violent deaths. Back to Ray: “They showed me a dozen photos of three different people – four photos of each person, who had apparently been killed by these experiments. These were all postmortem photographs, taken in-situ, after the experiments. The areas shown in all of the photographs were like a dentist’s chair or a barber’s chairs; and the bodies were still in those positions, sitting in the chairs. Still there, with EEG and EKG leads coming off of them; and I believe that one had leads to their head. They were all wired.

“It was a very clinical setting, and there was no indication of who they were. It was a very disturbing sort of thing. And I’m thinking in the back of my mind: if these are real, who would they have gotten for these experiments? Were they volunteers? Were they some sort of prisoner? I have no idea. Were they American? Were they foreign? There was no way to tell.” Ray told me that the three deaths were caused by a “remotely induced” fatal heart attack;  a “remotely transmitted head trauma” and “remotely controlled suffocation. The deaths and heart attacks were allowed to happen because it served the NHE’s goals: the deception that they were aliens trying to help us and give us this advanced technology.”

As for why Ray was contacted, he told me: “The impression was that it was to test the waters; that’s what they told me. They had read some of my stuff; and they knew that I’d become a pastor and that I had a Christian viewpoint from which I could view these things. And they were concerned morally and ethically that they had allowed themselves to be duped into doing this research; and it had taken such a turn. My concern was always that: why come to me? Who am I? I can’t do anything for you. I’m happy to evaluate it as best I can; but if you have this concern why not go to a Christian leader with a lot more clout and public visibility than I’ve got? But that was their reason: they were aware of the research I had done on a lot of things; that I could approach it from a Christian viewpoint; and that it was more of a moral dilemma for them. They wanted the information out there. But, to me, I have to think: is any of this accurate? On one hand, is this a way to throw disinformation out? But, on the other hand, I think that even if they wanted to just spread disinformation, they could have done it with someone a lot more influential than me.

“As a pastor and someone who’s trained as a theologian, I can’t come to any other conclusion than there is some sort of spiritual deception going on here. In so many of these kinds of alien contacts, they make a denial of Christianity: anytime the spiritual issues are addressed, there is always some sort of denial of the validity of Christianity, and the validity of The Bible. And, I find it interesting that these percipients are told that Jesus was a great guy; but you just misunderstood him. They say: he wasn’t really God’s son. You just don’t quite get it. But you never hear them say that about Buddha, or Krishna, or Mohamed. It always seems to come down to some sort of denial of Christianity. I mean the percipients of contactees, abductees and the NHE’s engage them in spiritual discussions – but it’s always one-sided. I would have a lot less suspicion for the potential of the demonic nature of these things if they were to say: ‘You guys are all screwed up, that all of your spiritual leaders had some good ideas; but none of them really got it. It’s a big mess.’ But it seems to be so specifically pointed at the Judeo-Christian tradition. It certainly seems to me like it’s the two genuine forces squaring up against each other.

“I think that some people have a sharper sense of sight; some have a sharper sense of hearing, or touch. I think there are people who have an ability to somehow have some sense stimulated and be aware of something that the majority of people aren’t. These are people just better gifted in some way than others. This is a thorny thing to dissect because there are definitely demonic influences generally. They do want to deceive us. I’m hesitant to paint with too broad a brush and say that everything can be attributed to them. I think there are too many theologians, Christians, who want to see a demon behind every rock. But I think the demonic world is real. But one of its principle goals is to deceive us. Does that negate the existence of some sort of extraterrestrial intelligence? I don’t think so. I think, though, that the extraterrestrial hypothesis is too simple an explanation. I have come into contact with too many cases that go so far beyond that; where there are so many strange effects that are left in the lives of the percipients that to me seem to say this is E.T. is too simplistic for so many of these things.

Ray’s final words: “A valid way to distract people is the two camps: the E.T. believers and the skeptics, while the real story is buried. The more distractions you can make, the easier it is to keep people from hitting on what’s actually important. That’s what so confusing about the whole thing. I’ve been involved in this since 1965 and this is the most bizarre stuff I’ve ever run across. I didn’t know what to make of it then and I don’t know what to make of it now.”

The news keeps getting stranger from Antarctica. First there was the iceberg (and maybe two) shaped like a perfect rectangle or parallelogram. Then there was a scientist-on-scientist stabbing at a remote Russian station that was blamed on the stabbee spoiling book endings for the stabber. Now comes word that NASA data from a satellite which died five years ago shows multiple lost continents underneath the frozen one. Dead men may tell no tales but it looks like dead satellites can.

“In East Antarctica we see an exciting mosaic of geological features that reveal fundamental similarities and differences between the crust beneath Antarctica and other continents it was joined to until 160 million years ago.”

Commenting in a statement *with map) about a new study in Scientific Reports titled “Earth tectonics as seen by GOCE – Enhanced satellite gravity gradient imaging,” co-author Fausto Ferraccioli reveals what he and a team of researchers from Kiel University and the British Antarctic Survey found after five years of studying data from the European Space Agency’s GOCE (Gravity field and Ocean Circulation Explorer) mission – a gravity-mapping satellite in operation from March 17, 2009, until October 21, 2013, when the very thing it was mapping pulled it to its atmospheric demise. Nicknamed “‘the Ferrari of space” — possibly because of its sleek silver design or its supply of xenon propellant which allowed it to resist drag while it dipped down to a 225 km altitude for highly accurate gravity measurements – the GOCE measured Earth’s gravity more precisely than any satellite ever.

“These gravity images are revolutionising our ability to study the least understood continent on Earth, Antarctica.”

Specifically, those high-resolution images showed gravity gradients – measurements of how rapidly the acceleration of gravity changes – allowed them to search the lithosphere – the solid crust and molten mantle hidden underneath Antarctica’s thick ice – for remnants of ancient ocean beds and cratons, which are highly folded orogen (belt of the earth’s crust involved in the formation of mountains) regions left from previous lost continents that Antarctica was once connected to.

The team released a short video (see it here) showing how these long-lost continents may have looked as they moved around Antarctica – bumping into it, breaking off and floating away.

Is this a big deal?

“Overall, we emphasise that satellite data such as from the GOCE mission, provide novel datasets with a global homogenous coverage that can significantly advance our understanding of the Earth structure and tectonic setting.”

That’s a ‘yes’. Understanding the early history of Earth’s tectonic plates helps predict future earthquakes … and it’s just plain interesting. Perhaps someday, another “Formula One” satellite will tell us once and for all if Antarctica was once occupied by humans … or aliens.

And studying Antarctica from space seems to be safer than a surface look with colleagues who are book spoilers.

A few weeks ago I spoke at the annual Texas Bigfoot Conference, held in Jefferson, Texas. During the lunch break, a woman came up to me and asked an interesting question. She had an intriguing scenario to discuss. Having read all of my various books on the Men in Black phenomenon, her question went roughly like this: “Is it possible that the Men in Black are really the good guys, protecting us from the UFO phenomenon?” It’s a thought-provoking scenario and one that does, admittedly, pop up occasionally. She drew parallels with what happens when we take our pets to see the veterinarian.

Most people who have ever owned a pet and have had to take her or him to the vet will know how, very often, our furry friends get in a complete state of stress and even fear when they realize where they are going. I recall how, when I lived in the U.K., my dog Susie (a Cairn Terrier who lived to the ripe old age of 18), would shake when she had to get her shots. In fact, she would start to shake as soon as I pulled onto the parking area of the vet’s office. The reason was simple: on occasion, and just being a little dog and with not much muscle, it would hurt her when the needle went in. So, she associated the vet with pain. But, in reality, the vet was actually helping her. Of course, trying to explain that to Susie didn’t work at all! I did try, though.

Is it possible that something akin to this is going on with the Men in Black? That was the question posed to me. Well, I’m not convinced (yet…), but a reasonable case can be made that the scenario just might be the correct one. For example, I know of several people whose interest in the UFO subject, over time, went from being an interest to a full-blown obsession. Paranoia set in. They came to do nothing but dig into the UFO issue, almost on a 24/7 basis. Having fun, hanging out with friends, going out and having a good time on a Friday night, and knocking back a few beers went out of the window. I have even seen a couple lives crippled and ruined by Ufology – and I don’t exaggerate when I say that. We’re talking about mental illness, divorce, and even a cry-for-help-style suicide attempt. Thankfully, that doesn’t happen all the time, but it does on occasion.

There is something about the UFO subject that, now and then, seems to provoke negativity, paranoia and more to a severe degree. Which is why I strictly work approximately 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (occasionally starting at 8am if I’m down to the wire…), and I keep evenings and weekends solely for a good time (which means soccer, beer, loud music, and girlfriends). “Balance” is the important factor in all of this. Sometimes, however, when it comes to UFOs, balance goes right out of the window and mania sets in. Are the MIB aware of this? And, if so, are they trying to warn us of the potential perils of getting into Ufology?

It’s interesting to note that the one man who arguably kicked off the MIB phenomenon in the early 1950s – Albert Bender – was someone who suffered greatly as he got deeper and deeper into the UFO mystery. Bender was an unusual character: he lived in the attic of his stepfather’s home in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He converted it into a kind of “Chamber of Horrors.” He began to delve deep into the world of the supernatural, even to the extent of creating an “altar” in the attic, as a means to call forth supernatural entities. His obsession with UFOs grew. By the time he was thirty, Bender had developed an irrational and overwhelming fear that he had cancer. Bender’s 1962 book, Flying Saucers and the Three Men, reveals that he clearly had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Everything had to be exactly in its correct place. Bender would seethe and get frustrated if someone happened to move something in his room – even slightly. And then the MIB turned up.

At the height of his research into all things saucer-shaped, Bender was “visited” by a trio of shadowy, fedora-wearing Men in Black at his home in Bridgeport. For a while he ignored (or tried to ignore) the orders of the MIB to quit Ufology. Finally, and not long after, Bender really did quit Ufology (except to briefly return and write the aforementioned Flying Saucers and the Three Men). And guess what happened? I’ll tell you: Bender’s fear of cancer went away. He got a girlfriend, who soon became his wife. When Bender died in 2016, he was just six years short of being one hundred. Cancer did not take him at thirty, after all. Life was good. At least, it was specifically after he decided to heed the words of the MIB and he walked away from Ufology. So, you can see where I’m going with all of this. The Bender affair is just one of many that had a tragic and traumatic aspect to it, and which involved someone who had spiraled into a state of paranoia as a result of not finding balance in life. But, the MIB came along and, lo and behold, Bender’s life soon became a great one.

In this scenario, the MIB might be to us what the vet was to Susie. We’re utterly incapable of telling man’s best friends that a trip to the vet is actually for their own good. Likewise, perhaps, the clearly non-human Men in Black are incapable of properly getting across the message they want us to get. The result: it looks as if the MIB are threatening people. Maybe, though, they’re just doing their best to keep us away from UFO-driven realms filled with paranoia, obsession, fear and stress.

Unidentified submerged objects, or USOs, don’t quite get the attention that their flying brethren do, but that doesn’t make them any less mysterious and intriguing. USOs have captured the imagination of mystery hunters throughout history, and advances in submersible drones and satellite imagery has renewed interest in these aquatic anomalies.

While some of these unidentified submerged objects couldhave extraterrestrial or unknown origins, many of them turn out to be military submarines or other vessels engaging in clandestine activities where they shouldn’t be. One of the latest of these unexplained cases comes from Sweden, where several teens at a sailing camp near Stockholm spotted what certainly appears to be a submarine conning tower rising out of the bay. The youths reportedly first noticed large air bubbles disturbing the surface before the object rose from the water. Naturally, they caught it on video and posted it to social media.

Pretty hard to mistake that for anything else.

Micael Bydén Supreme Commander of Sweden’s Armed Forces told the press there is “no cause for concern linked to this incident” and that the armed forces have a “clear idea” of what the teens saw. “I am able to say with certainty that it was not a submarine,” Bydén told reporters. “There was no foreign underwater activity.”

An armed forces spokesperson stated that they have interviewed witnesses and that the information gleaned from those interviews remains confidential. In typical armed forces spokesperson fashion, Jesper Tengroth told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter that the military will ultimately remain tight lipped on this anomalous sighting:

We can confirm that we have received information about an alleged observation in this area at that time. We will not comment on any further actions that we have taken or will take. We neither comment on results nor our view of alleged sightings.

Why all of the secrecy? Because let’s be honest: this is probably a Russian submarine and the Swedish armed forces are trying to keep a lid on it to prevent panic. As Cold War II continues to heat up, we’re likely going to see more unidentified objects in the skies and waters all around the world. Could recent UFO “disclosures” be a smokescreen to cover increased military activity worldwide?

My previous article was on the subjects of (A) how the UFO phenomenon might be a threat to our physical and mental health; and (B) why the Men in  Black might not be bad guys, after all. Rather, they just might actually be good guys trying to warn us of the hazards that the same phenomenon might pose. I thought I would follow-up that article with a two-part one which graphically demonstrates the dangers that UFO entities and their powers might pose. We have to go way back to November 25, 1991. On that date, Ray Boeche – a priest and a former State-Director with MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network) – had a very strange meeting at Lincoln, Nebraska’s Cornhusker Hotel. It was a meeting with a couple of guys who were working on a highly classified program within the U.S. Department of Defense. Now, with that said, I’ll hand the story over to Ray himself, who I extensively interviewed for my Final Events book. Ray told me:

“I found it interesting because they had contacted me at work, and I have no idea how they tracked me down there. But, they wanted to know if we could get together and have lunch to discuss something important. I met them for a brief period of time on that first meeting, and then they said: ‘We’d like to get together and have a longer conversation.’ I arranged a time and it was quite a lengthy discussion: probably three and a half hours. And that’s how it all came about. After the meetings, when I was able to verify that the men held the degrees they claimed to hold, and were, apparently, who they claimed to be, I was intrigued and excited at the possibility of having stumbled on a more or less untouched area which could be researched. But I was also cautious in terms of ‘why me?’

“Initially, I suppose I was apprehensive and curious. I had no way of knowing before our face-to-face meeting if there was any legitimacy to this at all. I wasn’t given any information at all before our meeting, just the indication that they were involved in areas of research I would find interesting, and that they had some concerns they wished to discuss with me. Both men were physicists; I’d guess they were probably in their early-to-mid fifties, and they were in a real moral dilemma. Both of them were Christians, and were working on a Department of Defense project that involved trying to contact the NHE’s [“Non-Human Entities,” as the pair called what most people refer to as “aliens”]. In fact, this was described to me as an ‘obsessive effort.’ And part of this effort was to try and control the NHE’s and use their powers in military weapons applications and in intelligence areas, such as remote-viewing and psychotronic weapons.

“They believed that the NHE’s were not extraterrestrial; but were some sort of demonic entities. And that regardless of how benevolent or beneficial any of the contact they had with these entities seemed to be, it always ended up being tainted, for lack of a better term, with something that ultimately turned out to be bad. There was ultimately nothing positive from the interaction with the NHE entities. They felt it really fell more under the category of some vast spiritual deception instead of UFOs and aliens. In the course of the whole discussion, it was clear that they really viewed this as having a demonic origin that was there to simply try and confuse the issue in terms of who they were, what they wanted, and what the source of the ultimate truth is. If you extrapolate from their take that these are demons in the biblical sense of the word, then what they would be doing here is trying to create a spiritual deception to fool as many people as possible. From what they told me, it seemed like someone had invoked something and it opened a doorway to let these things in. That’s certainly the impression they gave me.”

Ray told me that his informants said the “doorway” was opened by none other than Jack Parsons, a brilliant figure in 1930s-early 1950s rocketry. He was a man with a Top Secret clearance with the military, and a devotee of Aleister Crowley. Ray expanded on this: “They said that was the genesis of this. Was this a doorway that was opened by Parsons to allow these demonic entities in? Or did Parsons give someone else the idea that maybe someone in the government should look into this? That was one of their big concerns: that in order to try and accomplish some sort of military advantage, demonic things – masquerading as aliens – had been contacted and forces had been unleashed that were not going to be able to be controlled for very long; or, at least, were not going to be able to be bent to the will of whoever started this project. Satanic rituals, ritual magic and even human sacrifice were all mentioned as being linked with the project. They were convinced the work had to stop.

“They never revealed how it was all initiated in the beginning; but the situation today did, they said, go back to Parsons. I was never able to get an exact point of origin of these sorts of experiments, or of their involvement, and when they got started. But I did get the impression that because of what they knew and the information that they presented, they had been involved for at least several years; even if the project had gone on much longer. They were concerned that they had undertook this initially with the best of intentions; but then as things developed they saw a very negative side to it that wasn’t apparent earlier. So, that’s what leads me to think they had a relatively lengthy involvement.

“They didn’t just think that this was a spiritual deception; but that it was possibly something leading to a final deception. In their view – which, theologically, I don’t particularly hold – they viewed things much more like that of [Tim] LaHaye and [Jerry B.] Jenkins in the Left Behind book-series: the anti-Christ will appear, then we are fooled, and Armageddon will then be triggered. That seemed to be their personal feeling about the whole scenario.”

Ray added: “I tend to take the view that a lot of those prophecies in the Book of Revelations were fulfilled with Rome’s destruction of Jerusalem. I don’t think there is any way to deny that orthodox Christianity teaches a physical return of Christ; but that is always considered to be the church’s great hope: Christ’s returning, a triumphant return. So, from that point of view, the Left Behind mentality – that Armageddon is a terrible thing – and that you want to push off as long as possible, to me doesn’t really hold; at least in the historical sense. Christ’s eventual return is the culmination of this age and this world; so it’s not something to fear. It’s something to be welcomed. But it was viewed by the DoD like that, and as a final-battle scenario. Their other big fear in the whole thing was: if you have these types of entities who will present themselves as extraterrestrial beings, how is that going to affect the spiritual outlook of the people? Will it sway people from a belief in Christ? Would it have that sort of a spiritual effect?

“Their position was that these entities are the origin of a lot of the UFO reports; a lot of the abduction phenomena, and the cattle mutilations; and that they are able to interact physically with us in our world. I was never told how they knew, but the guys knew that there was wreckage of non-earthly origin at Roswell. And I remember asking them specifically in a later conversation: ‘How do you know this? And how does it happen that a demonic force can also interact physically?’ Their response was to me was: ‘You’re a pastor; you’ve studied theology. Go back to the Bible and look.’

“Well, that set me on months trying to piece this together in my own mind. Scripture refers to Satan as the prince of this world and the prince of the powers of the air. I deduced that there could be a precedent: a logical precedent based on scripture that demonic forces can in some way influence the physical world. So, given that that’s the case, could they create something? Could they somehow pluck matter from somewhere else – a different planet, a different galaxy that was so different from Earth that it’s going to be something recognized as not coming from here? Could they manufacture or create a physical object or wreckage – deliberately – to make us fall into the trap of believing that something extraterrestrial had fallen from outer space? A staged crash: to make us fall into the deception that they are extraterrestrials. That was the scientists’ conclusion. One of the things that made me believe there could be some sort of physical interaction is the mention of the Nephilim in Genesis in The Bible. Whatever these other worldly beings were – angels, fallen angels – they were able to interact physically and create some sort of progeny here on earth.

“Most of it was related to psychotronic weaponry and remote viewing; and even deaths by what were supposed to be psychic methods. They said that these entities are really the ones who were behind whatever actions the people working on the project thought they were able to perform themselves. It seemed that the project was allowed to assume that it had somehow technologically mastered the ability to do what the NHE’s could do: remote-viewing and psychotronics. But in actuality it was these entities doing it all the time, or allowing it to happen, for something that suited their deception. With both psychotronic weapons and remote-viewing, I was told that the DoD had not really mastered a technology to do that; they were allowed by the NHE’s to think that this is what they had done. But the NHE’s were always the causal factor.”

• Part-2 of “More On The Deadly Dangers of UFOs” to follow…

My previous article was on the subjects of (A) how the UFO phenomenon might be a threat to our physical and mental health; and (B) why the Men in  Black might not be bad guys, after all.

In their view – which, theologically, I don’t particularly hold – they viewed things much more like that of [Tim] LaHaye and [Jerry B.] Jenkins in the Left Behind book-series: the anti-Christ will appear, then we are fooled, and Armageddon will then be triggered. That seemed to be their personal feeling about the whole scenario.”

Ray added: “I tend to take the view that a lot of those prophecies in the Book of Revelations were fulfilled with Rome’s destruction of Jerusalem. I don’t think there is any way to deny that orthodox Christianity teaches a physical return of Christ; but that is always considered to be the church’s great hope: Christ’s returning, a triumphant return. So, from that point of view, the Left Behind mentality – that Armageddon is a terrible thing – and that you want to push off as long as possible, to me doesn’t really hold; at least in the historical sense. Christ’s eventual return is the culmination of this age and this world; so it’s not something to fear. It’s something to be welcomed. But it was viewed by the DoD like that, and as a final-battle scenario. Their other big fear in the whole thing was: if you have these types of entities who will present themselves as extraterrestrial beings, how is that going to affect the spiritual outlook of the people? Will it sway people from a belief in Christ? Would it have that sort of a spiritual effect?

“Their position was that these entities are the origin of a lot of the UFO reports; a lot of the abduction phenomena, and the cattle mutilations; and that they are able to interact physically with us in our world. I was never told how they knew, but the guys knew that there was wreckage of non-earthly origin at Roswell. And I remember asking them specifically in a later conversation: ‘How do you know this? And how does it happen that a demonic force can also interact physically?’ Their response was to me was: ‘You’re a pastor; you’ve studied theology. Go back to the Bible and look.’

“Well, that set me on months trying to piece this together in my own mind. Scripture refers to Satan as the prince of this world and the prince of the powers of the air. I deduced that there could be a precedent: a logical precedent based on scripture that demonic forces can in some way influence the physical world. So, given that that’s the case, could they create something? Could they somehow pluck matter from somewhere else – a different planet, a different galaxy that was so different from Earth that it’s going to be something recognized as not coming from here? Could they manufacture or create a physical object or wreckage – deliberately – to make us fall into the trap of believing that something extraterrestrial had fallen from outer space? A staged crash: to make us fall into the deception that they are extraterrestrials. That was the scientists’ conclusion. One of the things that made me believe there could be some sort of physical interaction is the mention of the Nephilim in Genesis in The Bible. Whatever these other worldly beings were – angels, fallen angels – they were able to interact physically and create some sort of progeny here on earth.

“Most of it was related to psychotronic weaponry and remote viewing; and even deaths by what were supposed to be psychic methods. They said that these entities are really the ones who were behind whatever actions the people working on the project thought they were able to perform themselves. It seemed that the project was allowed to assume that it had somehow technologically mastered the ability to do what the NHE’s could do: remote-viewing and psychotronics. But in actuality it was these entities doing it all the time, or allowing it to happen, for something that suited their deception. With both psychotronic weapons and remote-viewing, I was told that the DoD had not really mastered a technology to do that; they were allowed by the NHE’s to think that this is what they had done. But the NHE’s were always the causal factor.”
