Secrets, Security, and Strangeness: FOIAs Offer a Glimpse at “The Other Side” of Government
Secrets, Security, and Strangeness: FOIAs Offer a Glimpse at “The Other Side” of Government
On September 16, 1994, a memorandum was issued to high-ranking members of President Bill Clinton’s administration, outlining a unique directive aimed at reshaping the security policy structure in the United States.
“The end of the Cold War has dramatically changed the threats that defined the security policies and procedures for protecting our government’s information, facilities and people,” Clinton wrote in the memo. “While some threats have been reduced, others have remained relatively stable or have increased. Our understanding of the range of issues that affect our national security continues to evolve.”
“With this greater diversity of threats,” he continued, “there is wide recognition that the security policies, practices and procedures developed during the Cold War must be reexamined and changed. We require a new security process based on sound threat analysis and risk management practices. A process which can adapt our security policies, practices and procedures as the economic, political and military challenges to our national interests continue to evolve.”
After outlining key areas that would become the aim of future security assessments, Clinton moved that, “Consistent with the National Security Act of 1947, I direct the establishment of a new security policy structure, under the direction of the NSC, for the coordination, formulation, evaluation and oversight of security policy,” and the ultimate formation of a secretive Security Policy Board.

This is all significant primarily for one reason: public knowledge of the Security Policy Board came to light as a result of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Release of the first page of Presidential Decision Directive 29, which detailed the formation of this secret policy group in the Clinton government. Otherwise, its existence might remain off-the-books even today.
The Freedom of Information Act is integral to the journalistic process today, and in keeping with the objective of broader government transparency, it is also a vital tool for the citizenry. There are a variety of things that come to light as a result of FOIA, ranging from secretive details like those outlined above, to the truly odd. For instance, a recent series of documents posted on the FBI’s website detail how the Bureau studied alleged Bigfoot hair in the 1970s. However, these documents had actually been released in 2018 to researcher John Greenwald, as part of a FOIA request he made after a discussion with David Paulides about the subject, whereafter they were added to FBI’s Vault for broader public access (this is often the case with FOIA releases which, upon being made public, will be added to the “Reading Rooms” on websites of the agencies granting the FOIA, if the newly released files are believed to be of broader public interest).
FOIA has also played an integral role in piecing together what little we can about the Pentagon’s secretive Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program, or AATIP, which studied unexplained aerial phenomena between 2007 and 2012. The program was first made public in December 2017, following a New York Times article which interviewed Luis Elizondo, who says he was head of the program until his resignation only weeks earlier (subsequent acknowledgment of the program by Pentagon spokespeople has also occurred).
However, as far as government documentation to accompany public statements about the program, arguably the most significant was a FOIA release obtained by Steven Aftergood with the Federation of American Scientists, which presented a series of research papers related to the program and its objectives.
“The DIA list of research papers, marked for Official Use Only, was previously provided to Congress in January 2018. It was publicly released yesterday under the Freedom of Information Act,” Aftergood wrote.
“A DIA FOIA officer noted with some exasperation,” he added, “that yesterday’s release of the list of research papers will, in all likelihood, prompt new FOIA requests to his Agency for each of the listed papers.”
According to the Electronic Information Privacy Center (EPIC), a Washington-based organization that promotes “public attention on emerging privacy and civil liberties issues and to protect privacy, freedom of expression, and democratic values in the information age,” a number of less unusual, albeit more concerning issues have come to light as a result of FOIA requests over the years. In 2014, EPIC filed a FOIA request for documents pertaining to the deployment of Z Backscatter Van technology, a variety of X-ray technology used to scan objects, which had been in use by law enforcement agencies since 2011. The documents were released to them earlier this year.
Other notable FOIA releases pertaining to government secrecy and experimental technologies include:
Details about FBI contracts with Dataminr, a company which created an Advanced Alerting Tool allowing the FBI to engage in broad, near-real-time surveillance of Twitter.
Documents outlining a procedure for disrupting cellular communications networks.
Documents on the FBI’s Carnivore Internet Surveillance System (which can be read here).
In the age of cyberterrorism, many would argue that such technologies are necessary in order to preserve a free society. The irony, of course, is that “freedom” in the digital age is often reliant on certain measures that, in order to protect us, must also overstep our natural freedoms and right to privacy. Therefore, with tools like FOIA at our disposal, it is incumbent on us as the citizenry to pursue transparency where it can be attained, in the promotion of the ideals of a free, open, and democratic society.
A newly launched investigation could finally get to the bottom of a mystery that has baffled scientists since the 1950s.
For decades, scientists have observed brief flashes of light that appear on the surface of the moon several times a week. But, no one knows exactly what’s causing them.
Now, using a specially designed lunar telescope in Spain that boasts two cameras, a team will keep an eye on the moon’s activity every night in hopes to capture these strange phenomena and ultimately pinpoint the source.

For decades, scientists have observed brief flashes of light that appear on the surface of the moon several times a week. But, no one knows exactly what’s causing them
Scientists have dubbed these strange events ‘transient lunar phenomena.’
The new effort is led by researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg in Germany, who built the new telescope and put it into operation in April 2019.
The telescope sits at a private observatory roughly 100 kilometers north of Seville, where the weather is optimal for viewing.
There are several possible explanations that have circulated over the years, from meteor impacts to interactions between solar wind and moon dust, the researchers say.
‘Seismic activities were also observed on the moon,’ says Hakan Kayal, Professor of Space Technology at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany.
‘When the surface moves, gases that reflect sunlight could escape from the interior of the moon.
‘This would explain the luminous phenomena, some of which last for hours.’
‘The so-called transient lunar phenomena have been known since the 1950s, but they have not been sufficiently observed,’ Kayal said.
When the new telescope logs a luminous phenomenon with both of its cameras at the same time, it will store the observations and send an email to the team.
Using a specially designed lunar telescope in Spain that boasts two cameras, a team will keep an eye on the moon’s activity every night in hopes to capture these strange phenomena and ultimately pinpoint the source
Artificial intelligence techniques will eventually be added to help it distinguish between different types of events on the moon, as well as false alarms.
The researchers say understanding this type of activity at the surface of the moon will be critical in efforts to establish colonies.
‘Anyone who wants to build a lunar base at some point must of course be familiar with the local conditions,’ Kayal said.
The researchers will eventually compare their results with those collected by the European Space Agency to confirm the observations.
WHEN IS NASA GOING BACK TO THE MOON?
In a statement in March, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine doubled down on plans to send humans first to the moon and then to Mars and said NASA is on track to have humans back on the moon by 2028.
The plan relies on the developing Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft, along with the Gateway orbital platform.
SLS and Orion are expected to be ready for their first uncrewed test flight in 2020.
Construction on Gateway – an orbiting lunar outpost – is expected to begin as soon as 2022.
'We will go to the Moon in the next decade with innovative, new technologies and systems to explore more locations across the lunar surface than ever before,' Bridenstine said.
'This time, when we go to the Moon, we will stay.
'We will use what we learn as we move forward to the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.'
Vice President Mike Pence, however, tore up these plans and statements when he unexpectedly revealed a new deadline in March stating intentions to put humans on the moon by 2024 - four years earlier.
The VP called on NASA to 'reignite the spark of urgency' for space exploration and make it a priority to set 'bold goals' and stay on schedule.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine added a week later, at the start of April, that the agency would get 'really close' to delivering a plan by April 15.
This has been missed by several weeks and the House Science Committee is now vocalising its displeasure at having no viable plan or programme from the space agency.
Mysterious Lights on the Moon’s Surface going on and off
Mysterious Lights on the Moon’s Surface going on and off
The so-called transient lunar phenomena have been known since the 1950 and although there are several theories about the lunar mystery lights’ origins, they have not yet been fully explained.
Now astronomers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany have set up a telescope which will use artificial intelligence to automatically detect the flashes.
According to Metro.co.uk, Professor Kayal has a hypothesis about what’s causing the longer-lasting flashes and hopes to prove this theory. ‘Seismic activities were also observed on the moon,’ the professor added. ‘When the surface moves, gases that reflect sunlight could escape from the interior of the moon. This would explain the luminous phenomena, some of which last for hours.’ However, there is currently no explanation for the flashes.
About these mysterious flashes of lights on the moon; UniversalTrek discovered on Google earth in Moon strange lights that turn on and off at specific times of the day.
In the video below he shows the lights with the timer set on 2014. I have checked the lights too on Google Earth in Moon but set the timer on the current dates of 2019 and the lights are still there and on the same time the lights are going on and off like in 2014.
Then according to idw-online.de, it happens several times a week. Sometimes it is only short flashes of light that appear on the surface of the moon. Other light phenomena on the Earth's satellite can last longer. And sometimes there are also places that darken temporarily which corresponds with the lights going on and off in Google Earth in Moon.
Anyone who wants to build a lunar base at some point must of course be familiar with the local conditions," says Professor Kayal. What if such plans should ever become concrete? By then at the latest, it should be clear what the mysterious flashes and luminous phenomena are all about.

If we have to believe John Lear, the moon has huge underground cities and bases and there is a population of a quarter of a billion people on the moon which are actually aliens that look similar to us. The Greys are on the moon also but mainly remain underground within huge laboratories. See video interview John Lear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeGGw0rZruE
Could it be that these mysterious lights indicate that there are underground cities or bases on the Moon?
This dark black object is in an Apollo 10 mission photo. This object looks like it may be a dark knight satellite. Those were alien built satellites being hundreds of thousands of years old, but left in earths orbit for unknown reasons. This raises the next question, if its not a dark knight satellite, why was it there? Perhaps it was alien trying assist and watch out for the Apollo 10 mission. Its 100% certain that the US government has connections with aliens, so the possibility of this being aliens watching over the mission seems great. Scott C. Waring
On the big roadmap of the universe, bustling clusters of galaxies are connected by long highways of plasma weaving around the wilderness of empty space. These interspace roadways are known as filaments, and they can stretch for hundreds of millions of light-years, populated only by dust, gas and busy electrons driving very close to the universal speed limit.
Even when moving at near-lightspeed, particles should only be able to make it a fraction of the way down one of these filaments before running out of juice and breaking down. However, a team of astronomers patrolling a filament between two slowly colliding galaxy clusters has discovered a stream of electrons that isn't abiding by these traffic rules. In the gassy filament between the galaxy clusters Abell 0399 and Abell 0401, the researchers have detected a vast bridge of radio-wave emissions, created by charged particles whizzing down a 10-million-light-year-long road for far longer than should be physically possible.
The source of this cosmic traffic violation, according to a new study published June 7 in the journal Science, may be a faint but turbulent magnetic field stretching from one galaxy cluster to the next, providing a mysterious particle accelerator that's kicking electrons 10 times farther than they are ordinarily able to travel. [The 12 Strangest Objects in the Universe]
According to lead study author Federica Govoni, a researcher at the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, this is the first time a magnetic field has been observed coursing through a galactic filament, and could call for some rethinking about how particles are accelerated over incredibly long distances.
"It is a very faint magnetic field, about 1 million times [weaker] than the Earth's," Govoni said in a video accompanying the study. However, she and her colleagues wrote in the paper, that may still be strong enough to emit shockwaves capable of re-accelerating fast-moving particles across incredible lengths as they slow down — effectively creating an electron superhighway.
A bridge between giants
Located about 1 billion light-years from Earth, Abell 0399 and Abell 0401 are neighboring galaxy clusters — groups of hundreds or thousands of galaxies all gravitationally bundled together, representing some of the most massive objects in the universe. In a few billion years, the two large clusters will probably collide; for now, they're about 10 million light-years apart and linked by the aforementioned highway of plasma.
In a previous study, Govoni and her colleagues discovered that the two clusters were each creating a magnetic field bristling with radio waves. In their new work, the researchers wanted to find out whether that field was extending into space beyond the bounds of the two massive objects — and, in particular, whether it could be riding down the vast plasma filament between them.
Using a network of telescopes called the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), the researchers saw a long "ridge" of radio emissions clearly connecting one cluster to the next.
"This emission requires a population of relativistic [near light-speed] electrons and a magnetic field located in a filament between the two galaxy clusters," the authors wrote in the study. Because there were no other obvious radio sources between the clusters, the team concluded that the ridge was most likely an extension of the magnetic fields and high-speed particle interactions occurring inside the clusters.
After running some computer simulations, the team found that even a relatively weak magnetic field (like this one) could create shockwaves strong enough to re-accelerate high-speed electrons that have slowed down and keep them whizzing down the length of the filament. However, that is only one possible explanation for a phenomenon that is, according to the researchers, still a pretty big mystery. Luckily, scientists still have a few billion years to solve it.
Astronomers have spotted a ridge of radio emissions 10 million light-years long joining two galaxy clusters that are slowly colliding with each other.
The researchers studied two galaxy clusters dubbed Abell 0Galaxy clusters Abell 0399 and Abell 0401, with the radio ridge that connects them.399 and Abell 0401 using the Low-Frequency Array, or LOFAR, based in the Netherlands. That observatory is perfectly tuned to spot very long low-frequency radio waves in space. The scientists used the array to study this pair of galaxy clusters because other observations had spotted a filament joining them, part of the massive web that fills much of space.
"The presence of this filament stimulated our curiosity," lead author Federica Govoni, an astronomer at the National Institute for Astrophysics in Cagliari, Italy, told Space.com.
In particular, she and her colleagues were intrigued because they had already determined that both of the galaxy clusters were among the few dozen with magnetic fields that scientists have spotted. Electrons moving very, very fast inside of a magnetic field produce synchrotron radiation, which scientists can see as radio emissions.
So, the next question was whether this filament between the two colliding galaxy clusters also had a magnetic field, and the best way to find out was to look for radio emissions between the two clusters. That's precisely what Govoni and her colleagues found when they used LOFAR to look at the space between the two galaxy clusters: a ridge of radio emissions stretching 10 million light-years between them.
"When we obtained this great image, we were really excited, but of course, we wanted to be sure," Govoni said. "At the beginning, we were quite cautious. However, when we decided that what we detected was real, we decided it was really important to show this result."
Govoni and her colleagues said the radio emissions prove that the filament itself is magnetized. But because so many factors come together here — two colliding galaxy clusters that happen to be connected by a filament, two clusters that happen to have magnetic fields — the researchers aren't sure yet how typical such a situation is in the universe.
"What we want to understand now is if this magnetizing filament is a common phenomenon in the cosmic web," Govoni said.
Fortunately, the researchers will soon have an additional instrument to enlist. That's because LOFAR is a "pathfinder" for a more powerful observatory, called the Square Kilometre Array, which scientists hope will become the world's largest radio telescope. That instrument's to-do list includes studying magnetic fields within the cosmic web itself, just like the one Govoni and her colleagues found here.
The research is described in a paper published today (June 6) in the journal Science.
The little chopper is designed to show that aerial exploration is possible on Mars.
NASA's first Mars helicopter is getting close to final approval for launch after passing several key tests.
The Mars Helicopter flight demonstration project will launch next summer with the Mars 2020 rover and touch down on the Red Planet in February 2021.
While the rover searches for signs of past life on the Red Planet and caches samples for future return to Earth, the helicopter will soar above Mars in a series of demonstration flights. Future missions could see such helicopters scouting ahead for where rovers could go next.
"Nobody's built a Mars helicopter before, so we are continuously entering new territory," MiMi Aung, project manager for the Mars Helicopter at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, said in a statement.
Back in January, the flight model flew in a simulated Martian environment at JPL's Space Simulator, a vacuum chamber that has a diameter of 25 feet (roughly 8 meters). Then it was moved to a Lockheed Martin Space facility in Denver.
At its new location, the helicopter was tested for compatibility with the Mars Helicopter Delivery System. This system will carry the helicopter under the Mars 2020 rover's belly during launch and cruise to Mars. The helicopter will separate from the rover after landing.
In Denver, the connections and mechanisms between the delivery system and helicopter were tested to make sure they fit together. The mated system experienced vibrations similar to what happens during launch and cruise. Also, the helicopter and delivery system were put into a thermal vacuum chamber to see how they performed in cold temperatures (minus 200 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 129 degrees Celsius), similar to the conditions they'll experience in deep space and on the Martian surface.
With these tests complete, the helicopter went back to JPL on May 11 for several more procedures, including spinning up the rotor blades and installing a new solar panel. More testing is ahead, but the end is in sight — at least for work here on Earth
"We expect to complete our final tests and refinements and deliver the helicopter to the High Bay 1 clean room for integration with the rover sometime this summer," Aung said, "but we will never really be done with testing the helicopter until we fly at Mars."
Since the helicopter is a demonstrator, it has no science instruments on board; rather, its main purpose is to show that powered flight in the Martian atmosphere is achievable. The Red Planet's air is just 1% as dense as that of Earth.
Even if the minicoptercan take flight, there are other obstacles to overcome, such as the time lag involved in controlling it from Earth. (It takes between 4 minutes and 24 minutes for signals to travel between Earth and Mars, depending on the positions of the two planets in space.) Imaging will also be tested to see the helicopter's capabilities for transmitting high-resolution color photos.
"Future Mars missions could enlist second-generation helicopters to add an aerial dimension to their explorations,' NASA officials added in the statement. "They could investigate previously unvisited or difficult-to-reach destinations such as cliffs, caves and deep craters, act as scouts for human crews or carry small payloads from one location to another. But before any of that happens, a test vehicle has to prove it is possible."
Finally Declassified: US Military made "Flying Saucers"
Finally Declassified: US Military made "Flying Saucers"
A once top-secret military project has now become part of American history. It dates back to 1959 during the Cold War when a scientist named Jack Frost was working hard on some new technology - flying saucers. Nicknamed ‘Avrocar’, these saucers were genuine, all American made, UFO style aircraft which were sanctioned by the US military, but why?
Alien Sightings
After World War II, America went through a UFO craze with hundreds upon hundreds of sightings being reported. Coincidentally, this was around the same time as the Cold War as well as the Avrocar’s development. There has been some speculation surrounding the increase in UFO sightings and many say that they were in fact connected to the US military’s anxiety about the Cold War with some suggesting that they were spreading paranoia. For obvious reasons, if someone saw the Avrocar, they would be pretty taken back by it.
A few years before the Avrocar’s existence was known to the public, someone reported a flying saucer sighting, which took place in 1947. An assembly line employee for the Lockheed aerospace company, Orfeo Angelucci, reported coming into contact with a hovering flying saucer on the roadside when he was driving home late one night. It wasn't just a sighting though. He claimed that he interacted with the occupants when a voice spoke to him, telling him not to be afraid. Shortly after, a male and a female figure with large eyes and an impressive nobility about them appeared and communicated with him telepathically. As with many UFO sightings, it's hard to tell if they are legitimate due to the lack of proof. However, this is considered by many to be the very first and is oddly specific, it just might hold some merit.
As time went on, more and more UFO sightings were reported. In fact, the US governmentofficially instructed citizens to report supposed UFOs to a new division of the Air Force called “Project Blue Book”. The results showed that between 1947 and 1969, citizens reported over 12,000 UFO sightings with the highest being 1952 which had over 1,500 individual sightings.
What exactly was the Avrocar for?
Despite it’s alien-like appearance, the Avrocar did actually have a purpose. It was designed to be the ultimate subsonic transporter for US troops which could go at incredible speeds in an instant. As anxiety grew about the Cold War and soviet threats, the Avrocar took priority over other projects during its development.
The man behind it all was Jack Frost, who in fact was bit of a legend. The British engineer had paved the way for many supersonic aircraft designs, specifically vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles that can hover, take off, and land vertically. Throughout the 1950s, Frost was working at Avro Canada, a now-defunct aircraft manufacturing company. He worked in a classified department called the Special Projects Group (SPG). A lot of the time, these projects were completed in secure locations with guards and special pass cards, all behind locked doors of course. So if anyone was going to be able to produce the next subsonic vehicle, it was Frost.
Did it work?
In the traditional sense, the Avrocar didn't fulfill its original purpose of becoming a new vehicle transport military personnel at high speeds. While Frost assured everyone that it was possible, it just wasn't meant to be. The two aircraft that were put through testing were only able to go three feet off the ground and top speeds were about 35 MPH. Even then, the crafts were overheating and when in operation, they produced a high pitched piercing sound which isn't pleasant for anyone. By spring of 1961, only two years after it’s first free flight, the project was deemed to be too expensive to continue and was shut down. Check it out in action in the video below!
Despite the Avrocar seemingly failing, it did still prove to be a revolutionary creation, paving the way for modern hovercraft technology and cars. Science has advanced a lot since the 50s and 60s. Who knows, maybe the Avrocar will fly eventually. For now though, one of them sits in the Cold War Gallery in the National Museum of the United States Air Force while the other was reportedly put into storage by the United States Military in 2002. Who knows what's happening to it right now? Perhaps it’s already being worked on. Maybe we will see the Avrocar return in the future. Only time will tell now…
NASA Will Test Fly A UFO And Proves Saucers Are Real
NASA Will Test Fly A UFO And Proves Saucers Are Real
NASA is hoping to prove that UFOs do exist after years of speculation by people all around the world. They've been building their own UFO using new technology that has been developed which they plan to take on a test flight to Mars by 2035.
NASA Aims To Prove UFOs Are Real
Known as the NASA low-density supersonic decelerator (LDSD) project, their newest rocket that they want to take into space is circular in shape just in the shape of traditional UFOs that have been seen flying through our skies for centuries. To get it out of our atmosphere, it'll be lifted upwards by a balloon which will explode on reaching the desired height and send the space craft NASA has developed into space at a speed four times that of the speed of sound. It has an inflatable ring around it which will only be inflated once the space craft has left our atmosphere in order to slow it down when it reaches the desired height again, slowing it to a speed only twice that of the speed of sound, thus halving the overall speed at which the space craft is flying at.
NASA•JPL•Caltech
This space craft has already been tested previously and when it was tested the lead researcher, Ian Clark, said, "We saw things that we’ve never seen or imagined existed before. We saw a much more dynamic and much more turbulent parachute inflation than we had ever known. Things like the suspension lines are exploding like lightning, moving in a very chaotic manner all over the place."
The way that this space craft has been developed is similar to the types of UFO that we have come to know from science fiction over the years. Now, science fiction is becoming a reality with NASA developing a flying saucer that resembles the sort of UFOs that have been seen in our atmosphere for many years.
If you want to see what this space craft will be like, take a look at the video below.
The UFO enigma is real. And Roswell, for example, is just one offering of proof thanks to the diligent work by researchers like Stanton T. Friedman. Proof there is a phenomena - that something odd is occurring which defies everyday explanations. Is it because the public at large has physical proof? No. Has the government come clean to share what it has known all these many years? No, not exactly. It’s because of what they have said publicly, then retracted, then altered, leaving a witnesses and paper trail that - clear as day - refutes the government’s false narrative. We need only look to page one of the 1947 Gen. Nathan Twining memo to see that before the disclosuredoor was officially closed, there was a recognition by our government that indeed something likely not from this Earth is visiting:
"a. The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious."
We are all also familiar with the Roswell/Corona UFO crash story that appeared in the Roswell Daily Record on July 8th, 1947. Col. William Blanchard ordered Sec. Lt. Walter Haut to release to the press that a flying saucer had indeed been recovered. Only to have Brigidier Gen. Roger Ramey immediately retract that story which kicked off the debunking career of the military by claiming it was in fact just a downed weather balloon.
Beginning with childhood experimenting, we’ve all told a lie. Whether small or large, we all know how it feels to tell a lie. We know it’s a gamble to tell a lie because our story is not based on facts or reality. We know in our gut that it’s a slippery slope, that we may later fumble our fictitious story. And if we do make a mistake, we must scurry away from the spotlight of truth by slightly altering our story, or perhaps use the gaslighting technique. But when doing so too quickly, we may not have competently thought through our story’s new alteration. Unable to see how in the long run it could have conflicting plot points. Then we get caught. So what does the prideful liar do? They stick to the lie - the story - no matter what. Repeat the lie over and over again until people are exacerbated and the truth begins to feel muddy. You would do this by sowing doubt about the very people who accuse you of dishonesty. In particular, you would be most effective at convincing those who feel more comfortable with your version of the story anyway because it appears simpler, and so are not bothered with the effort of checking out all of the available information to weigh it all for themselves.
The story has become so confusing that it’s tempting to go with the seemingly easiest version to believe. There are people out there that are masters of this sort of manipulation. In the word of ufology the preeminent example is debunker Philip Klass. You and I both know these types of people. Most of us have been fooled by one individual or another at some point in our lives. They are in our homes, they are leaders of industry, leaders of our military, and even the leader who holds the highest office in the land. The President. Or in the case of extraterrestrial visitations - all of the Presidents since Harry S. Truman (assuming all presidents are debriefed in the matter).
If you take the time to read books like Facts, Fiction and Flying Saucers, Crash At Corona, and Captured, I promise you will be left having to rethink everything. That’s if you’re willing to go down the rabbit hole.
For myself, I have read and seen too much now to be in denial that our government and military - meaning fellow citizens of the United States of America - have lied to us and covered up the truth about Roswell and other events. If nothing else, that is all you would need to recognize in order to consider that perhaps we have been visited by extraterrestrials of some kind. Or at the very least are dealing with a technology not our own. But of course, once you start there, the mystery will beckon you further. To question a narrative because you understand that simplifying a story does not necessarily equate to a story being true.
A magician or illusionist distracts you just enough to pull the wool over your eyes. In the case of the UFO coverup, the magician is the concerted effort by the US government, the military industrial complex, and the loyal debunker. But we know better don’t we. In another post I’ll go more into detail about debunkers and how I feel about them.

EmDrive: Mythical Physics-Defying Propulsion System Gets A Real Test
EmDrive: Mythical Physics-Defying Propulsion System Gets A Real Test
An EmDrive is a hypothetical type of engine that could propel a spacecraft without the need for any fuel. However, it’s viability has been debated by scientists for almost 20 years.
Impossibility
A working EmDrive will likely never happen because for it to be functioning, it would literally need to break one of the foundational laws of physics, hence the impossibility. However, despite it never being able to work, scientists from a number of top research organizations, such as NASA and DARPA, are still pursuing the tech due to the huge payoff if it did work. It would literally revolutionize the world of space exploration.
While it may seem impossible to many, a team of German physicists plans on conducting a new experiment to end the debate around this controversial topic for good. This is now make or break for the EmDrive engine.
Experimentation
Almost two decades ago now, back in 2001, Roger Shawyer, a British scientist proposed the idea of generating thrust by pumping microwaves into a conical chamber. From there, these waves would bounce off the cone’s walls, exerting enough force to power spacecraft. While this sounds like a great idea, it would basically be creating a force out of nothing and according to the law of conservation of momentum, this simply isn't possible.
Despite these laws, there are a handful of researchers who claim they’ve managed to generate a small amount of thrust in their EmDrive experiments. However, the amount of thrust is so minute that it hasn't been possible to decipher whether it was the engine itself or was in fact an external factor, such as the Earth’s magnetism or seismic vibrations. Therefore, the propulsion system has remained a mystery and an extremely controversial one at that.
End of The Debate
A team of researchers from Technische Universität Dresden has built an extremely sensitive instrument which is designed to measure thrust, no matter how small. The team believes that their new experiment will be immune to the outside interference which has plagued other studies, thanks to their instrument.
Once the experiment has been completed, the team plan on publishing the latest results of their EmDrive experiments in the journal Acta Astronautica in August. Lead researcher, Martin Tajmar has stated that it may be possible to be just a few months away from finally putting the EmDrive debate to bed and have a concrete answer as to whether it will ever be possible.
Looks pretty real to me. This video back in the day had some pretty wierd conspiracy theories. Like the guy filming was one of the hijackers scoping out the intended targets.
Ancient Aliens – The new discovery in Mexico changes everything
Ancient Aliens – The new discovery in Mexico changes everything
A whole host of newly discovered extraterrestrial architecture has been released in Mexico. The finds could be exponential and prove once and for all ancient aliens visited our early ancestors’ thousands of years ago.
These new ancient sculptures depict UFO’s, extraterrestrial humanoid entities, and mysterious texts, and have been the topic of much alien news discussion.
This ancient art appears to depict what many believe to be a human laying on a table surrounded by bizarre creatures with UFO’s in the sky.
The aliens appear reptilian. This may indicate the theory that alien astronauts visited our planet thousands of years ago and interfered with our evolutionary process. This ancient art discovered in Mexico certainly displays numerous unanswered anomalies.
Could this piece of ancient art be proof of the ancient alien theory?
Is it just a coincidence that ancient cultures from around the world recorded similar activities? From UFO sightings to alien abductions, our ancient ancestors spoke of visitors from another world. They always mentioned another race of beings that inhabited our planet long before mankind arose. Could these pieces of ancient art confirm popular conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial beings?
A video uploaded to YouTube discusses questions about the incredible artifacts discovered in Mexico.
Alien Contact in Mexico
Many Ufologists believe this is evidence that the ancient Mexican civilization documented extraterrestrial contact. Alien beings visited the ancient man and an alien intervention was underway. This is essentially the concept of the ancient alien’s theory.
However, there are those who question its authenticity. Due to the artifacts being in almost perfect condition after being discovered, many skeptics say that they cannot date back thousands of years ago.
Take a look at a few other ancient artifacts found in Mexico to see if you believe they could be in reference to alien extraterrestrial visitors.
The ancient alien artifact may demonstrate extraterrestrial life.
So, could this ancient artifact show three aliens inside a UFO?

The bizarre artifact could tell the story of an alien intervention.

These artifacts are in the typical design style of ancient Mayan culture, which thrived in what is now called Mexico. They display strange figures that many have interpreted as evidence of aliens visiting our planet many thousands of years ago.
Furthermore, a number of other discoveries from Mexico show alien-like beings in astronaut suits and disc-shaped objects flying in the skies.
This ancient sculpture seems to depict a ritual happening. The beings in the art may be humanoid in structure, but certainly are not humans.
Many see these creatures as the typical “Grey aliens” and “Draconic aliens” from pop culture.
What exactly did our ancient ancestors see and hear? Has there been a cover-up about the truth of the history of mankind? Since we do not know the answer, we can only guess.
Michael Halsall, our own alien news writer, is currently asking the same questions. He is currently writing a book about the truth being a cover-up of extraterrestrial life called “You Can’t Spell ‘Alien’ Without ‘A Lie’“.
Not only is there clear evidence of the UFO phenomena, but there is an ever-growing amount of proof that aliens exist.
Just one of many ancient artifacts recently discovered in Mexico.

Baillet-en-France. C’est un pilote de l’aéroclub d’Enghien-Moisselles qui a repéré le dessin.
Frédérick Blacher
La figure a été repérée à Baillet-en-France par un pilote de l’aéroclub d’Enghien-Moisselles. Sa photo a été reprise jusqu’en Russie.
Encore un événement qui va faire la renommée de Baillet-en-France. Un dessin est apparu dans un champ de blé à proximité du carrefour de la Croix verte, ce week-end. Ce crop circle, ou cercle de culture en français, a été aperçu samedi par un pilote de l’aéroclub d’Enghien-Moisselles, Frédérick Blacher. « C’est sur le circuit de l’aéroclub, donc on ne peut pas le rater », indique-t-il. Il a probablement été réalisé dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi. Le dessin se présente sous la forme d’une succession d’arc de cercles pointant en direction du nord.
Chacun y va de sa théorie
L’aéroclub a posté dimanche les photos du pilote sur Facebook. Le message a depuis été partagé des centaines de fois, y compris en Russie ou en Espagne. « On est un tout petit aéroclub. D’habitude, si on a 12 likes c’est le maximum », ajoute Frédérick Blacher. Dans les commentaires chacun y va de sa théorie sur l’origine du phénomène. « Il y en a plein qui pensent que ce sont des extraterrestres ou des êtres de lumières qui ont fait ça », s’étonne-t-il.
La curiosité du public pour ce phénomène ne se limite pas à Facebook. Les pilotes aperçoivent des piétons qui se rendent sur place depuis ce week-end.
« Il y en avait même qui priaient dedans », précise le pilote. Le gardien du terrain Notre-Dame de France, qui abrite une statue monumentale de la Vierge, un oratoire et une chapelle, a aussi aperçu des promeneurs dans ce secteur depuis quelques jours. « On ne sait pas qui a fait ça, témoigne-t-il. Je ne pense pas que ce sont des humains parce que les cultures sont couchées et pas écrasées. Et puis il faudrait prendre des mesures, c’est très compliqué. »

Ik denk niet dat deze is gemaakt door mensen. Piloten ontdekken mysterieuze graancirkel in Frankrijk
Piloten van een Franse vliegclub keken afgelopen weekend verbaasd op toen ze een grote graancirkel zagen in een weiland.
Het opvallende patroon werd op zaterdag ontdekt toen leden van de Aeroclub Les Ailerons d’Enghien Moisselles over een gebied ten noorden van Parijs vlogen, schrijft Le Parisien.
Eén van de piloten slaagde erin enkele foto’s van de graancirkel te maken. Hij plaatste ze vervolgens op Facebook, waar ze inmiddels honderden keren zijn gedeeld.
Notre-Dame
De formatie bestaat uit een aantal halve manen en cirkels. Over de mogelijke betekenis wordt inmiddels druk gespeculeerd.
Volgens één theorie heeft de graancirkel te maken met de Notre-Dame, aangezien het patroon is gevonden in de buurt van een kleine kerk die ‘Notre Dame de France’ heet en de Notre-Dame zich op dezelfde lengtegraad zou bevinden.
In april werd de wereldberoemde kathedraal getroffen door een verwoestende brand.
Niet geplet
De piloot die de formatie heeft ontdekt liet weten: “Ik denk niet dat deze is gemaakt door mensen aangezien de gewassen plat liggen en niet geplet zijn.”
Ook het complexe patroon en het feit dat de cirkel van de ene op de andere dag is verschenen, zijn volgens de piloot aanwijzingen dat de formatie niet door mensenhanden is vervaardigd.
“This is the first unambiguous detection of a two-planet system carving a disk gap.”
That’s astronomer-speak for “We just photographed two baby planets feeding off of their mama star and we couldn’t be prouder!” Julien Girard of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, announced it this week in a paper he co-authored in the journal Nature Astronomy and in a press release. It’s the first-ever discovery of new planets growing by accumulating dust and debris from the disk that usually surrounds a young star. In this case, the star is PDS 70, a low-mass T Tauri (younger than 10 million years – in this case it’s 6 million years old) star in the constellation Centaurus about 370 light-years from Earth. Its disk has a large gap extending from about 1.9 to 3.8 billion miles and that’s where astronomers suspected there were baby planets growing.
“With facilities like ALMA, Hubble, or large ground-based optical telescopes with adaptive optics we see disks with rings and gaps all over. The open question has been, are there planets there? In this case, the answer is yes.”

(Leiden Observatory)
The planets have the boring names PDS 70 b and PDS 70 c, Discovered last year, PDS 70 b is the innermost planet, orbiting at a distance of about 2 billion miles or about the same distance as Uranus is from our Sun. PDS 70 c was just discovered using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) spectrograph on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) and is about 3.3 billion miles from PDS 70. While in the same disk gap, PDS 70 b orbits the star twice as fast as PDS 70 c.
“We were very surprised when we found the second planet.”
The first clear image of a planet caught in the very act of formation around the dwarf star PDS 70. The planet stands clearly out, visible as a bright point to the right of the centre of the image, which is blacked out by the coronagraph mask used to block the blinding light of the central star.
As with so many discoveries, Sebastiaan Haffert of Leiden Observatory, lead author on the paper, says they were looking for something else when they found PDS 70 c. The technique being used was developed to study galaxies and star clusters at higher spatial resolution, but it turns out to be an excellent astronomers’ tool for peeking into the windows of star nurseries and watching baby planets. By looking for various wavelengths of light from hydrogen in the orbiting disk of debris, they can spot the early formation of gas giant planets.
In answer to the question that’s on everyone’s mind … the astronomers can’t determine the sex of the two new baby exoplanets. Of course, they don’t really care as long as they’re healthy.
Scientists have discovered two Jupiter-sized exoplanets about 150 light years away from Earth.
A couple of days ago, I wrote an article here titled “She believed he was an extra-terrestrial being.” It was focused on a case from the files of a long-time UFO researcher named Wayne LaPorte. The article referred to above was written as a result of Wayne very generously sharing with me some of his data. All of which brings me to another fascinating case-file that Wayne gave me. It was on October 29, 2016 that I first read it. In Wayne’s very own words: “This account was first related to me by two friends of mine – Don and Sarah Morris . Both have read little on UFOs, and have read nothing on Men in Black (MIBs). On May 27, 1977, Don, Sarah and myself had supper out. I was discussing hostility sometimes expressed by UFOs. I mentioned that there are on the record cases of Men in Black or MIBs. They asked me what that meant. I said, ‘The MIBs may be an enforcement arm of the UFOnauts. They often dress in black, and are very human-like.’ Sarah said: ‘Really? We had a strange experience with some men dressed in black turtleneck sweaters at a Kent State Memorial Service in 1972. We photographed them, because of their dress. Our film was ruined. There’s not a UFO involved here. However, it was very odd that our film was ruined.'”
Wayne continued: “It was the first part of July, 1972. Don and Sarah attended a Kent State Memorial Service at Freedom Park in Charlotte, N.C. Both are amateur photographers. They had a Honeywell Pentax 35mm camera. The service was a non-violent, anti-war demonstration. There was a stage set up. Various people were giving speeches. There were some singers and group singing also. It was sunny and very hot. The FBI were there and very obvious. They were going through the crowd and photographing various people mainly for harassment. Don wasn’t a protestor (active), and did not have a photographic file on the FBI. However, he was upset that the FBI were bothering the people. So, he decided to harass the FBI by taking photos of the FBI photographers.”
That’s when things got a bit strange, as Wayne notes: “Don and Sarah first noticed the MIB when they first drove into Freedom Park (a recreational park a few miles from downtown Charlotte). They were in the auto in front of Sarah. One of the MIBs turned and stared intently at her. She noticed the turtleneck shirt and that they were clean shaven. They had short hair. She said, ‘They must be part of the local FBI showing up.’ She thought they were FBI, because of the short haircut. The two MIBs and the FBI men were the only ones with short hair at the Memorial Service. Don and Sarah later noticed the two MIBs. Don had been walking around photographing the FBI agents. He returned to Sarah who was with the audience. A simple stage had been erected. The audience was seated in front of it and spread out like a fan. Don and Sarah were near the back of the audience. There were no chairs. Everyone was seated on the grass.”
There was more to come: “The two MIBs stood behind the audience and about 50 feet from the audience. They wore black turtleneck shirts or sweaters (both can’t recall whether they had on shirts or sweaters). Their clothes were both identical – also very clean and neat. They never talked (even to each other). They never went to eat or to the restroom. They stayed in the same spot all day. The temperature was about 27 degrees centigrade. The MIBs weren’t sweating. They just kept looking around and staring at everyone.”
The strangeness got even weirder: “Don and Sarah can’t recall any facial features. However, they never thought of them being non-human. They thought the MIB were ‘FBI supervisors.’ They took a few photos of them from the crowd. Then, Don went around and came up behind them. He got to five feet (1.5 meters) behind them. He focused the camera. He hoped they would sense he was behind them and turn around. He wanted to capture the surprise on their faces when they turned around. However, he waited behind them for 5 minutes. They never turned around. Then, like he was ‘commanded,’ Don returned to Sarah in the audience. He doesn’t recall any verbal or mental command. However, all of a sudden, he lost interest in trying to photograph the MIBs.”
If that was not strange enough, there’s the following from Wayne: “The next week, Don and Sarah developed the black-n-white film at their home photolab. The film was completely black from front to back. It was as if struck by some form of intense electromagnetic radiation. Their thoughts were that the FBI had a secret radiation weapon that the FBI used on them to destroy their film. However, Don doesn’t recall seeing the FBI or MIBs point any weapon at them. Also, Don doesn’t recall experiencing any radiation sickness. There is the possibility that Don had purchased a roll of film that had been accidentally exposed to radiation while being shipped to the retail store. To me, that is possible, but very unlikely. If the film was good then 1. The FBI have a secret radiation weapon; 2. The MIBs used some type of weapon secretly on Don’s camera; 3. The MIBs psychically were able to destroy the film. 4. The MIBs themselves were an energy entity or were radiating electromagnetic radiation. 5. The MIBs had a protective energy field around them.”
Wayne dug further into what was rapidly escalating into a very strange situation: “Harry Joyner owns a photolab (Joyner and Associates) in Charlotte. He has offered to give us free photographic assistance on any case. He listened to the taped interview. The description of the ruined film indicates the following: total exposure to light or intense heat or chemical fumes or exposure to gamma, alpha or beta radiation. The witnesses said they made no darkroom mistakes while developing the film. Harry also does some photographic work for the FBI. He told (at my request) on of the FBI agents of the MIB incident. He asked the agent if the two MIBs could have been FBI agents. The agent replied “No.” The agent wasn’t involved in the 1972 Freedom Park affair. However, he said that the FBI would never dress like that, and act in such a manner (not moving around, not talking, etc.).”
Wayne concluded: “Although no UFO is involved here, the two Men in Black appear to be MIBs. Nolie Bell of the Tar Heel UFO Study Group, Winston, Salem, N.C. knows of a similar case. Two MIBs were spotted at a Kent State Memorial service. That report said the MIBs had oriental features. Also, John Keel related to me that he knows of one case in which possible MIBs were photographed. A photograph was taken of a group of (outdoors) attending a meeting of a radical nature. There were two men in different parts of the crowd. They had on black suits with turtleneck shirts. They both looked like twins. They had lean, angular faces. The hair was cropped short. This was a group photo. It was not a close-up. Incidentally, this was in England. I feel this case is significant as it involves a close-up attempt to photograph a UFO.”
When I read Wayne’s account – of both the MIB and the FBI being present at the scene in question – it instantly made me think of something John Keel once wrote on the matter of two different kinds of Men in Black. Keel put down on paper, on March 15, 1968 the following: “I have very substantial reasons for believing that the current explosion of MIB activity is directly related to a forthcoming national crisis. The crisis has been developing over a long period of time. The numerous hoaxes, deceptions, and seeming meaningless incidents inherent in the UFO phenomenon have actually served to cover up the real situation.” Now, we get to the crux of the matter. Keel added: “It appears as if two groups of MIB are involved[italics mine]. One group is extremely dangerous. They have committed murder and arson on a broad scale, operating under the carefully constructed umbrella of ridicule and nonsense surrounding the UFO phenomenon. The second group is trying to focus our attention on the first group by imitating MIB activity through harmless interviews, presentation of obviously false credentials, etc. We must understand and appreciate the efforts of this second group, and learn to discriminate between the two.”
I thought, Keel was always ahead of his time. In whatever afterlife domain he now dwells, he probably still is.
In December 2018, a strange radar anomaly appeared over the Midwestern United States. Civilian weather radar showed a massive, stationary blob that hovered near Evansville, Indiana for over ten hours in a relatively tight formation. Months later, similar anomalies appeared on radar systems in Sydney, Australia and near Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.
Many aviation insiders quickly floated the theory that these anomalies were caused by a new type of chaff, a type of aircraft countermeasure which involves launching clouds of metallic fibers into the air to confuse enemy radar systems. If that’s the case as has been assumed, why test it over civilian areas, though?
A pair of B-1B Lancers deploy chaff and flares during a military exercise.
Now, three months after the New Mexico incident, another strange radar anomaly has appeared in the United States, this time over Southern California. Meteorologists throughout the area spotted a dense blob on weather radar covering some 80 square miles (130 sq km). As in previous cases, the anomalous formation appeared on a clear day without any cloud cover. “It was very strange because it was a relatively clear day and we weren’t really expecting any rain or thunderstorms,” National Weather Service meteorologist Casey Oswant told NPR. “But on our radar, we were seeing something that indicated there was something out there.”
Residents of America’s western deserts are no stranger to aerial mysteries and curiosities given the region’s numerous military aerospace and weapons development facilities, but the explanation offered for this most recent radar mystery is odd. According to the National Weather Service in San Diego, this radar anomaly was caused by a massive swarm of ladybugs flying miles above the ground.
This particular phenomenon is known as a “bloom” and occurs whenever large populations of ladybugs all migrate at once to seek food or warm weather in winter. Still, experts say the timing is odd; these blooms typically appear earlier in the year as winter gives way to spring. “It’s not exactly clear why we’re seeing this big swarm now that we haven’t before,” says Cornell University entomologist John Losey. “Is that just sort of a random effect of what happened in the weather and the prey populations? Is it having something to do with climate change that’s sort of condensing when they all are going to fly?”
Not all ecologist and entomologists are buying the ladybug bloom story. James Cornett, senior scientist with the aptly-named James W. Cornett Ecological Consultants, says a ladybug swarm that size would have darkened the skies and created a panic. “There would have been unbelievable numbers of telephone calls to the police,” Cornett said. “It merits some investigation.” The San Bernardino County Fire Department received no reports of massive ladybug swarms.
Apparently, the ladybug theory was put forward by a single weather service spotter who reported a high number of ladybugs in the area at the time of the swarm. Could these ladybugs be a convenient scapegoat? This is only the latest in several strikingly similar radar anomalies, yet insects were not cited in any of the other incidents.
Judging from radar footage posted to Twitter by the National Weather Service, this alleged ladybug swarm was spotted moving south from what suspiciously seems to be either Edwards Air Force Base or the Fort Irwin National Training Center, one of the U.S. Army’s premier training centers. The Fort Irwin site houses mock cities and villages designed to resemble urban areas around the world and frequently uses both live and simulated unmanned aerial vehicles to prepare units to face these threats in the field. Edwards AFB, meanwhile, is home to all manner of Air Force testing and research centers which develop black budget aerospace projects and the most bleeding edge aircraft technologies. Much of the airspace surrounding the area where the “ladybug swarm” was spotted is restricted to military use.
According to the radar images shared by the NWS, the swarm appeared to originate from a point just northwest of Barstow. Hmm…
The location of this anomalous radar blob pretty coincidental, and the fact that nobody saw or photographed an 80-mile wide swarm of insects flying just a few thousand feet off the ground is pretty weird. Could this ladybug bloom have actually been a swarm of tiny drones, a test of some radar-spoofing electronic warfare technology, or something far spookier? It wouldn’t mark the first time the military has tested a swarm of micro-drones over California. Which seems more likely, particularly given that some ecologists doubt the ladybug story?
