Ex-CIA Officer On UFOs & Aliens: Says ‘They Are Showing Up In 2027’

By Vicky Verma

In the 1940s, the CIA first became involved in UFOs. Since then, a number of former US military personnel and CIA officers have advanced UFOlogy by making stunning remarks. Former CIA and US military officials including R. James Woolsey, John Brennan, Jim Semivan, Lue Elizondo, and others have described how the existence of reality all around us that we are unable to perceive could be a major aspect of the UFO phenomenon.

Since 2021, John Ramirez, who spent 25 years in the CIA, has been providing truthful insights into the UAPs that he learned in his career. He is a highly intelligent individual who has an immense amount of knowledge and experience regarding the U.S. intelligence apparatus and the UAP subject. He has made an impressive social media presence after he revealed many UAP-related mysteries that had never been discussed in public by any government official.

CIA retired John Ramirez, who specialized in ballistic missile defense systems, worked for the CIA from 1984 to 2009, holding positions in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Directorate of Science and Technology, and the Directorate of Intelligence. He attained GS-15 grade, which indicates that he worked for the agency in a relatively senior capacity.

His appearance on the highly acclaimed Witness Citizen podcast on October 17, 2021 created a huge burst in the UFO community. Later, Ramirez made an appearance on Project Unity, where he delivered a series of slides to assist researchers in navigating the FOIA process. Ramirez was particularly helpful in identifying the appropriate agencies to contact when requesting particular types of information.

The slides, which are available online, also include historical information about UFOs and current statements made by prominent former U.S. intelligence officials, including John Ratcliffe, a former director of national intelligence. He stated a schematic on how to investigate a UFO in the CIA style:

Establish a group to investigate and evaluate sightings;
Determine the objectives of your investigation;
Consult with experts;
Create a reporting system to organize incoming cases;
Eliminate false positives;
Develop a methodology to identify common aircraft and other aerial phenomena often mistaken for UFOs;
Examine witness documentation;
Conduct controlled experiments;
Gather and test physical and forensics evidence and Discourage false reporting.

Ramirez made assumptions regarding the current UFO disclosure procedure, and it appears that his opinions may have been influenced by members of the intelligence community, either current or former, or perhaps by individuals connected to the Department of Defense. During his interview with Project Unity, Ramirez claimed that the US government does not currently discuss the UFO craft’s occupants. This is a significant comment from Ramirez, who has asserted his opinion that UFOs may indeed represent a form of non-human intelligence.

John Ramirez retired from the agency recently as an officer with GS-15 status.

Ramirez is not the first CIA agent to make the assertion that UFOs might be non-human intelligence. John Brennan, a former CIA director, suggested that UFOs might be “a different form of life.” Brennan said: “You try to ensure that you have as much data as possible in terms of visuals and also different types of maybe technical collection of sensors that you have at the time. (Source)

Also, I believe, it’s important to reach out into other environments and find out, were there any type of weather phenomena at that time that might have, in fact, created the appearance of the phenomenon that you’re looking at? Were there some things that were happening on the ground, or other types of phenomena that could help explain what seems to be quite a mystery as far as what is there? You really have to approach it with an open mind, but get as much data as possible and get as much expertise as possible brought to bear.”

Ramirez made an intriguing statement in response to the rumor that the US government is reluctant to discuss the potential UFO occupants. The U.S. Air Force may be partially to blame for this current stance, according to Ramirez. However, not for obvious reasons. He commented:

“The air force and their exploitation of that type of technology made a mess of things, as when people see the triangular craft, and they’re not flying in space but in our atmosphere, it points to the fact that we know what the triangles are and we want people to think they’re seeing UFOs because then people won’t know exactly what they’re seeing.”

Some speculated that Ramirez suggests that the USAF may be responsible for sightings of triangular aircraft, which some have dubbed the TR3B. On the Joe Rogan Experience, Tom Delonge implied that the United States government owned such vessels, but also said that some of them belonged to other intelligence. Delonge claimed that triangle-shaped craft, assuming they contain tail fins, symbolize human technology.

According to a member of the US House of Representatives Tim Burchett, it may all have started after the government recovered crashed alien vehicles. During an interview for On Balance With Leland Vittert, Burchett was asked about the Navy’s possession of more videos of UFOs that it is not willing to release to the public for reasons of National Security.

If anti-gravitic crafts exist, then potentially, such technology will be disclosed throughout the disclosure process. Former senator Harry Reid has already asserted that Lockheed Martin may have UFO materials, thus perhaps technology does exist. According to Lue Elizondo, the disclosure procedure and potential international collaboration (including with China) may lead to amazing technological advancements. (Source)

Ross Coulthart, an investigative journalist, in his tweet shared a link to a YouTube video (which is now private), stating John Ramirez tells IUFOC the agency’s weird desk investigations into UAP never stopped from the 1940s. “These are ongoing programs from the very beginning. They are still there.” It’s “more than” just the Pentagon’s AAWSAP-AATIP. Check the below Twitter thread to understand the context Coulthart is trying to explain.

“There for them to ask me questions. But it was very clear to me that AATIP was not the first of its kind effort. There was an organized effort back in the 80s to do exactly this as well. Now how far they got, I don’t know because what was told to me, verbatim,” Elizondo said.

Ramirez also experienced what might be considered alien abduction-type experiences, including being placed on an examination table in a circular craft. Interestingly, a number of his counterparts in the CIA and NSA also had UFO experiences, he revealed. In his job related to missile defense, he became aware of times when Russian radar would detect unusual craft, and in one instance, he said they tried to lure a UAP into landing.

Ramirez noted that CIA historian Gerald Haines wrote about the agency’s study of UFOs from 1947 through the 1990s, for a division that was initially called the Office of Scientific Intelligence. What was particularly intriguing to Ramirez is that the division had life sciences and medical people on staff, indicating possible interest in alien bodies.

He also described how an Air Force pilot on the plane that flew near Kamchatka to monitor Russian tests observed a massive “milky white wall” of light flying toward him at 6,200 mph, though the Air Force assumed it was some kind of countermeasure by the Russians. Regarding the military sightings of “trans-medium” UAP like the Tic Tacs, Ramirez said he does not believe that Russia or any other foreign country has the capabilities to produce this kind of antigravity technology.

Elizondo made these points in several interviews, but in this one, he was asked to elaborate on his comments about how our senses are reductive and limit our reality, and how this might be relevant to the phenomenon.

In his interview with Project Unity, Ramirez opined that Humans are hybrids. According to him, Elizondo is unable to use the word “hybridization,” but the Pentagon employees are counting on him to do so eventually. Elizondo discussed the possibility that non-human intelligence have been in contact with humans for a very long time on the Theories of Everything podcast. This would imply that we have all forgotten about our own past, which would hide the possibility that we are hybrids of humans and extraterrestrials.

Something is coming in 2027

On Podcast UFO with Martin Wills, Ramirez claimed that government is aware of an impending event in 2027 which will reveal something quite significant so people are being prepared. He has been stating that there is a presence on Earth (which he refers demonic) who are just projecting their own belief systems to make us disbelieve in what we believe. Wills asked Ramirez what would happen if there was mass Landing? would we just simply prepare for a conflict or would we actually initiate something? (Source)

Former CIA replied:

“I think the dialogue we have now in this country, even with the recent legislation that passed through the legislature and is on its way up to the president’s desk, is preparing the U.S population, and by extension the world population, for the reality that there is a presence here that we need to explain. If they show up and we continue to do what we did before in previous decades, there will be mass panic. However, if we understand that these are real and we have five years from 2022, or maybe now four years, if they come in 2027, for the US government to prepare the people about what is up there.

In many ways, I think the word got out within the government that they’re showing up in 2027, and we better be prepared. If not, there’s going to be a lot of explaining to do. So, I think that dialogue has happened within certain areas inside the government, that we need to prepare.

That’s why in 2017, that set a clock of 10 years, and why Lou Elizondo earlier in this year said, “Just find a hobby for five years, and it’ll all be out in five years,” and he said that this year, so that was 2027. I’ve heard 2027 in an official capacity, and I can’t reveal, so I would say that people in the government are aware of something happening, and there’s limited time, a few more years to prepare the people. That’s what’s wrapping up this acceleration from the previous seven decades of not even acknowledging it to now acknowledging it at a faster and faster pace.”

Warp drives: Physicists investigate faster-than-light space travel

Faster than light travel is the only way humans could ever get to other stars in a reasonable amount of time.

Les Bossinas/NASA/Wikimedia Commons

The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri. It is about 4.25 light-years away, or about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion kilometers). The fastest ever spacecraft, the now- in-space Parker Solar Probe will reach a top speed of 450,000 mph. It would take just 20 seconds to go from Los Angeles to New York City at that speed, but it would take the solar probe about 6,633 years to reach Earth’s nearest neighboring solar system.

If humanity ever wants to travel easily between stars, people will need to go faster than light. But so far, faster-than-light travel is possible only in science fiction.

In Issac Asimov’s Foundation series, humanity can travel from planet to planet, star to star or across the universe using jump drives. As a kid, I read as many of those stories as I could get my hands on. I am now a theoretical physicist and study nanotechnology, but I am still fascinated by the ways humanity could one day travel in space.

Some characters – like the astronauts in the movies “Interstellar” and “Thor” – use wormholes to travel between solar systems in seconds. Another approach – familiar to “Star Trek” fans – is warp drive technology. Warp drives are theoretically possible if still far-fetched technology. Two recent papers made headlines in March when researchers claimed to have overcome one of the many challenges that stand between the theory of warp drives and reality.

But how do these theoretical warp drives really work? And will humans be making the jump to warp speed anytime soon?

This 2-dimensional representation shows the flat, unwarped bubble of spacetime in the center where a warp drive would sit surrounded by compressed spacetime to the right (downward curve) and expanded spacetime to the left (upward curve).

Compression and expansion

Physicists’ current understanding of spacetime comes from Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. General relativity states that space and time are fused and that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. General relativity also describes how mass and energy warp spacetime – hefty objects like stars and black holes curve spacetime around them. This curvature is what you feel as gravity and why many spacefaring heroes worry about “getting stuck in” or “falling into” a gravity well. Early science fiction writers John Campbell and Asimov saw this warping as a way to skirt the speed limit.

What if a starship could compress space in front of it while expanding spacetime behind it? “Star Trek” took this idea and named it the warp drive.

In 1994, Miguel Alcubierre, a Mexican theoretical physicist, showed that compressing spacetime in front of the spaceship while expanding it behind was mathematically possible within the laws of General Relativity. So, what does that mean? Imagine the distance between two points is 33 feet (10 meters). If you are standing at point A and can travel one meter per second, it would take 10 seconds to get to point B. However, let’s say you could somehow compress the space between you and point B so that the interval is now just one meter. Then, moving through spacetime at your maximum speed of one meter per second, you would be able to reach point B in about one second. In theory, this approach does not contradict the laws of relativity since you are not moving faster than light in the space around you. Alcubierre showed that the warp drive from “Star Trek” was in fact theoretically possible.

Proxima Centauri here we come, right? Unfortunately, Alcubierre’s method of compressing spacetime had one problem: it requires negative energy or negative mass.

This 2–dimensional representation shows how positive mass curves spacetime (left side, blue earth) and negative mass curves spacetime in an opposite direction (right side, red earth).

A negative energy problem

Alcubierre’s warp drive would work by creating a bubble of flat spacetime around the spaceship and curving spacetime around that bubble to reduce distances. The warp drive would require either negative mass – a theorized type of matter – or a ring of negative energy density to work. Physicists have never observed negative mass, so that leaves negative energy as the only option.

To create negative energy, a warp drive would use a huge amount of mass to create an imbalance between particles and antiparticles. For example, if an electron and an antielectron appear near the warp drive, one of the particles would get trapped by the mass and this results in an imbalance. This imbalance results in negative energy density. Alcubierre’s warp drive would use this negative energy to create the spacetime bubble.

But for a warp drive to generate enough negative energy, you would need a lot of matter. Alcubierre estimated that a warp drive with a 100-meter bubble would require the mass of the entire visible universe.

In 1999, physicist Chris Van Den Broeck showed that expanding the volume inside the bubble but keeping the surface area constant would reduce the energy requirements significantly, to just about the mass of the Sun. A significant improvement, but still far beyond all practical possibilities.

Closest pair of supermassive black holes as seen by MUSE

In this Picture of the Week we peer closer into the galaxy UGC 4211, where astronomers have discovered two supermassive black holes on the verge of merging, separated by just 750 lightyears — the closest to have been found to date and less than half of the previous record. They used ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), of which ESO is a partner, and other telescopes to detect the bright light produced as the black holes engulf material in their vicinity.

The image shown here was made using data from the MUSE instrument on ESO’s VLT in Chile. It shows emission from oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen in blue, green and red respectively. Red indicates areas of star formation, and the bright white central region indicates the presence of two supermassive black holes swallowing material from their surroundings.

Combining data from the VLT, ALMA and other telescopes, a team led by Michael Koss at Eureka Scientific in the US could identify these two black holes and study them in detail. These black holes likely found each other when their host galaxies collided and merged. Observing this system will help improve our understanding of how galaxies and their supermassive black holes grow as they merge.

The mysterious pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan: “Technology from another world”

Zack White

Most people don’t know that near the famous trio of pyramids in Giza, Egypt, there are two other pyramids of which only their foundations remain.

One of them is called the unfinished North Pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan, almost 5 km southeast of Giza; the other, smaller, is called Layer Pyramid.

Archaeologists think that they are unfinished pyramids, but at UfoSpain we believe that they were actually destroyed a long time ago.

We looked on the internet for information about the unfinished North Pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan, and found that the information was often wrong and misleading.

The pyramid is not unfinished, the underground structure is not a burial chamber or tomb, and the granite bathtub they found is not a sarcophagus.

We always like to go to the original source, which, in this case, is the Italian archaeologist Alessandro Barsanti, who found the remains of the pyramid in the early 1900s and began excavating in 1904.

His original report, in the French language, contains descriptions of the underground corridors, the chamber, and the curious oval bathtub. His description of this stone vat and how it was sealed and protected is truly remarkable.

Although Barsanti was impressed by the high quality of the stone work of the descending shaft and the open room at the bottom, no one else investigated this monument.

Since 1964, the pyramid has been placed in a restricted military area, and further excavation is prohibited.

The entire base of the North Pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan is cut from the local limestone rock. Its base is 200 meters, which would make it almost as tall as the Great Pyramid of Giza. A large descending tree was cut from this rock leading to an underground chamber.

Archaeologists still attribute this interior space to a funerary function, where the pharaoh was supposed to be buried, despite the fact that all the stone chests (other than sarcophagi) found in the pyramids were empty, and all the pharaohs and aristocrats They were buried in the Valley of the Kings.

As some researchers have pointed out, the construction of the pyramids and their interior design show that they were technological devices intended to harvest energy, from the earth and the cosmos, and to use this energy probably for multiple purposes.

Some people say that the pyramid builders (in Atlantean times) used liquids and gases inside the pyramids, which is interesting because of the granite vat found at the base of Zawyet El Aryan’s North Pyramid. .

Others say that the underground veins of water produced electricity and sound vibrations that were amplified by the construction of the pyramid.

At this time we don’t know for sure how the pyramids worked because the Atlanteans used a very different technology, and the remains were ruined.

Yes, most of the pyramids were built over twelve thousand years ago during the Atlantean period. After their disappearance and the destruction of the coastal lands by huge tsunamis, much of what was in Egypt was left in ruins.

After several thousand years, the dynastic Egyptians settled there, adopting the pyramids and all that they found, into their own culture.

For example, we see that some of the dynastic temples, built with small stones, were built on large blocks of stone weighing several tons, which were the remaining base of the Atlantean buildings.

What has also been pointed out is that at one point, probably when the Atlantean civilization came to a catastrophic end, there was a malfunction in the pyramid technology and explosions occurred.

There are other nearby pyramids that show signs of explosive destruction with stone blocks scattered around them. One of them is the Bent Pyramid of Dashur, which has one corner dismantled as if by an explosion.

The northern pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan may also have been blown up, as many stones were found scattered around it.

The reason why only the base remains today is easy. In the last thousands of years, people nearby have used the stones to build their own houses.

Why go stone mining, when you can use already cut stones from old monuments? Apparently, when the Roman Empire occupied Upper Egypt, they used this monument as a stone quarry.

Even in recent times, the stones were used by the local population as building materials.

What remains today of the North Pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan, however, is still very interesting, complete with a mystery that also hints at unusual and ancient technology.

Italian archaeologist Alessandro Barsanti began excavating the underground structure of the North Pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan in 1904. He was the only one to ever examine this structure.

He left us some very interesting descriptions. The original report of him was published in the Annales del Service des Antiquités de Egypte, tome VII , of the Institut Français d’Archéologie Orientale du Caire , in 1906.

Although not much remains of the North Pyramid of Zawyet El Aryan, we can point out some characteristics that make it not a tomb but a technological construction, the purpose of which is still unknown.

The bathtub is the most interesting of all. Why cut it out of one of the granite blocks of the pavement? It had a perfectly fitted granite top on top, and was polished like a mirror on the inside.

These features create a very strong link to the Serapeum’s underground granite coffers. These oversized chests, also mislabeled tomb ( for the bulls! )..

They had perfectly fitting tops, and their inside walls were not only level to a fraction of an inch and at perfect ninety degree angles, they were also polished like a mirror.

By the way, the Serapeum arks cannot be manufactured or duplicated by our modern technology.

So why was it necessary for the bathtub to have a smooth interior mirror? And why was it oval, which is more difficult to make than a simple rectangular box?

We imagine that it was after the destruction of the pyramid (by an explosion), that the caretakers sealed the tub with a layer of lime and limestone blocks.

They could also have filled the chamber and corridor with stones and rubble. It is quite possible that these people did not ultimately survive the catastrophe, and the vat thus sealed remained so until Barsanti discovered it again.

There could be more underground passages yet to be discovered, as Barsanti noted that after heavy rain, “the shaft was flooded to a height of three meters. Around midnight, the water dropped abruptly by about a meter.”

We can only explain this phenomenon by assuming that it is submerged in an underground tunnel, large enough to hold 380 cubic meters of water.

One wonders why the Egyptian authorities are not interested in further excavations. They are always eager to discover a hidden tomb full of treasures..

Oh! And why was he placed in a military zone? There are still many mysteries to be solved. What do you think? Leave your comment below.

Supermassive black holes share a surprising link with subatomic gluon 'color glass walls'

By Robert Lea

Scientists have discovered a common thread between the monstrous black holes that lurk at the hearts of galaxies and subatomic glass condensates created in collisions of atomic nuclei.

Scientists have found a surprising connection between supermassive black holes and densely packed "walls" of gluons, tiny subatomic particles that hold quarks together to birth protons and neutrons.

Scientists have discovered a surprising connection between the supermassive black holes that dwell at the hearts of most galaxies and dense walls of subatomic particles called gluons.

In terms of size, they couldn't be more different: Supermassive black holes can be billions of miles across, and the dense walls of gluons, known as color glass condensates (CGCs), are less than a billionth of a mile in diameter. 

Yet a team of scientists from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Brookhaven National Laboratory has discovered that supermassive black holes and CGCs are similar in that they are made of densely packed, fundamental force carrier particles called bosons.

• Dead and alive at the same time: Black holes have quantum properties 

For CGCs, these bosons are gluons, particles that carry the strong nuclear force responsible for "gluing together" elementary particles called quarks to form protons and neutrons, which make up the atomic nuclei of all ordinary matter. For supermassive black holes, the constituent densely crowded particles are gravitons, hypothetical particles that carry the force of gravity.

In both systems, the bosons are arranged in the most energy- and size-efficient configuration. This creates a high degree of order that is typical of both CGCs and black holes, with both systems packing in the maximum amount of quantum information possible about their constituent bosons , including their spatial distribution, velocity and collective forces. 

Because the limits placed on quantum information are universal, researchers can learn more about one system of densely packed bosons by studying the other. 

As a result, the secrets of distant and inaccessible supermassive black holes could be revealed by examining CGCs in labs here on Earth. In particular, scientists could look at the "gluon shock waves" created in CGCs during particle collisions to learn more about the gravitational shock waves that are produced when two black holes collide and merge to form an even more massive black hole.

CGCs are created when atomic nuclei are accelerated to near the speed of light and then slammed together. After these collisions, conducted at facilities such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Upton, New York, the CGCs "melt" to form a nearly perfect liquid of quarks and gluons. While investigating this process to learn more about the strong nuclear force, the team found that gluons appear to organize themselves in a way that conforms to a universal limit on the amount of entropy, or disorder, that can exist in a system. The enormous conglomerates of gravitons that make up black holes are also believed to arrange themselves according to this limit. 

This mathematical similarity suggests there is a correspondence between how black holes are born, reach thermal equilibrium with their environment and even how they may eventually decay, and how walls of gluons collide in nuclear collisions at near-light speeds. 

The limit placed on entropy behind this similarity is related to a key feature of quantum information science (QIS) called maximal information packing. Therefore, to learn more about the connection between black holes and gluon walls, scientists must turn to QIS. In turn, the study of these systems could ultimately prove useful for the development of quantum computers, which depend on tightly packed cold atoms to perform calculations. 

The team's research is published in the journal Physical Review D(opens in new tab).

The Mysterious Kecksburg UFO and an Enigmatic Discovery on Mars

On December 9, 1965, something unusual fell from the sky and landed in the forest outside Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. Witnesses described it as an acorn-shaped metal object with peculiar markings. This unexplained event has captivated UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike. Meanwhile, an intriguing discovery on Mars has sparked further debate about extraterrestrial life and its potential connections to Earth.

• 5 UFO ENCOUNTERS THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND | The Proof Is Out There

Theories on Martian Civilizations and Alien Visitors

George Haas, director of The Cydonia Institute, suggests that ancient civilizations, such as the Cydonians, may have once thrived on Mars. He points to evidence of pyramidal structures and mound formations on the red planet that defy natural explanations. However, Haas believes that these civilizations vanished millions of years ago after a nuclear Armageddon.

Some speculate that the crashed UFO on Mars could be linked to the “Grays,” an alien species believed to have visited Earth for millennia. It has been suggested that these extraterrestrial beings might have experienced a similar crash in Roswell and could have lost control of their vehicle on Mars as well.

Experts Weigh In

Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy argues that the Martian disc’s smooth crescent shape could potentially be a heat shield from a failed probe. However, he also notes that the width and depth of the trench surrounding the object seem inconsistent with a heat shield crash.

NASA geologist Bob Anderson offers an alternative explanation for the mysterious formation, stating that it is located in Candor Chasm, an area with volcanic planes and a combination of sedimentary layers and volcanic lava flows. According to Anderson, the parallel lines are ancient geologic cracks, and the object’s perfect curve could be due to wind patterns.

Conclusion: Unexplained Phenomenon

Despite various theories, the Kecksburg UFO and the Martian disc remain unexplained phenomena. While Dr. Anderson’s theory offers a plausible explanation for the Martian formation, McCarthy’s argument about the object’s perfect curve raises questions. Until we can examine these findings more closely, the mysteries of the Kecksburg UFO and the Martian disc continue to captivate our imaginations and fuel debates about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

Geraldine Orozco Alien Abduction Is Most Convincing UFO Encounter With Medical Evidence: Ex-FBI Investigates

Although thousands of abductions are reported annually, only a fraction of them are attributed to the so-called alien hybridization. Hybridization involves experiments with reproductive organs, leading many victims to believe they are being used to cross-breed with alien life forms. One such incredible case is of a UFO abductee named Geraldine Orozco, who claimed to have been abducted eight times and was part of a top-secret alien hybrid breeding program. She is a skilled professional in various fields, including being an Intuitive DNA Reprogrammer, Ascension Coach, Speaker, Expo Host, and Hypnotherapist.

In the TV series “UFO Witness,” former FBI agent Ben Hansen visited Orozco to investigate her abduction case. She revealed to him that she had been pregnant for eight weeks when she miscarried. A fetus should have been visibly present. But even though her doctor confirmed Orozco was having the signs of a miscarriage, there was no sign of the fetus.

Orozco told Hansen: “I would see the doctor and see different doctors over the years, they wouldn’t know how to explain what had happened to me. And of course, neither did I. So then I said, okay, maybe I can’t have children.” In 2013, she had a vivid experience and claimed to have been abducted and taken onboard a spaceship.

“I was sleeping, and all of a sudden I wake up because there was a bright light in my room. And as I look down at my phone, it says 3:30 in the morning. And part of me was a little bit afraid at that moment because I was thinking, is there someone outside my window? So I look outside my window and the light is so bright that it’s burning my eyes.”

She continued: “And the next thing I know, my entire body paralyzes. And I feel my body being taken through the window. I was brought to a craft, I was paralyzed. This being comes next to me, and I’m terrified at this point, but I can’t even scream.” Orozco described it feeling as if her body was being pulled apart.

Hansen then asked her to describe the alien. She recalled encountering six tall humanoids (typical Greys). “They are these grays they have these giant eyes. The Greys, also known as the Zeta Reticulans, are said to be tall, slender creatures with large eyes and gray skin,” Orozco explained.

Orozco claimed that the aliens introduced her to her 8 hybrid children and imparted intriguing knowledge. “This being is showing me these children. As I’m looking at these children and I see what they look like, they’re not all the way human. This gray, thin skin, a much bigger head, and these giant eyes that are so deep and so profound and so complex. It was just incredible. But what I recognized as I’m meeting the child is that it’s mine. It looks like me. It has something that is a part of me.”

Orozco had always wondered why she could not get pregnant, despite her and her partner’s efforts to conceive a child. She thought it was just a case of miscarriages. But one night, everything changed. She realized that her unborn children were not lost to miscarriages, but instead were taken from her womb and experimented on by extraterrestrial beings.

During her harrowing experience, she witnessed her unborn child being mutated with alien DNA, leaving her feeling helpless and confused. “As I’m seeing the child in front of me, I know that it’s mine, and I’m wanting to take care of them. And before I start to feel that, they immediately remove everything away from me. And then I’m opening my eyes, and I’m upside down on the end of my bed,” she explained.

Orozco’s experience was not a dream, but a real-life encounter with alien beings. She was abducted from her home in the early hours of the morning and taken aboard a spacecraft for experimentation. As she tried to piece together what had happened to her, she realized that this had been going on for years, and she was not alone. According to her, over a million women claim to have similar experiences.

This experience activated her psychic abilities and allowed her to access exalted multidimensional knowledge. However, upon returning to her normal life, she discovered that this experience had resulted in her becoming hypersensitive to the human electromagnetic field.

To learn more about what had happened to her, Orozco underwent regression sessions with hypnotherapists. During those sessions, she uncovered memories of repeated abductions since childhood and gained insight into the reasons behind her early abduction experiences.

Orozco was surprised to discover that she channeled information about the universe and ancient DNA alterations on planet Earth during those regressions. In November 2017, she underwent the second regression that delved deeper into each abduction experience to understand the hybridization program and how it operates among humans. During the session, she also learned about her own origins and discovered that she had participated in human hybridization, resulting in the birth of 24 hybrid children. (Source)

During her interview with Ben Hansen, Orozco shared with him her medical records and ultrasounds that provide physical evidence that strongly suggest her story is true.

She said that she had developed a cyst and the doctor said that the size of the cyst and the way that it developed was like somebody that had children. The cyst was a physical marker of her traumatic experiences, and it helped to confirm what had been happening to her. Despite this, no medical explanation could be found for the mysterious disappearance of her fetuses.

Orozco’s claim of an alien-hybridization program is not surprising as John Ramirez, a former CIA official said that the CIA was interested in the hybridization of humans, and he was told by two top officials (their names are classified) that they discovered an alien DNA in the human genome. (Click here to read the full article)

“I give credence to the fact that Roswell actually happened. I will believe personally that bodies were recovered and if these bodies were examined and then their DNA was examined and they know what that alien genome looks like and they look at humans and they can identify the same sequences in the human genome. I think that was what led them to believe that there’s a hybridization of humans and they further said in this one-day symposium that… they have not only alien DNA but enhanced alien DNA.”

Moreover, Ramirez mentioned in an interview with Project Unity that humans are hybrids. He suggested that Elizondo refrains from using the term “hybridization,” but the Pentagon staff expects him to do so eventually. On the “Theories of Everything” podcast, Lue Elizondo, former Director of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) explored the idea that non-human intelligence may have been interacting with humans for an extended period. This would imply that we have all forgotten about our own past, which would hide the possibility that we are hybrids of humans and extraterrestrials.

Helicopters on Mars! NASA explains what's next after Ingenuity's success

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has been a huge success on the Red Planet with flight number 50 on the horizon. Learn what's next for the little 4-pound chopper and about future helicopters that NASA is planning to send to the Red Planet.

NASA's Martian Helicopter Has Been Very Busy

Around three years ago NASA launched the Ingenuity Helicopter which eventually touched down on Mars early the next year. Since 2021, NASA has been consistently flying the helicopter trying new and more ambitious routes each time. Just yesterday on the 5th, Ingenuity was scheduled for its 50th flight, expected to travel more than 1000 feet or around 306 meters in total.

The whole purpose of this helicopter was to determine if powered, controlled flight at the Red Planet was possible. If this were the case, it would open up a lot of future opportunities as NASA sets its sights on sending humans to the planet. In the over 2 years Ingenuity has been on the surface, not only has it shown that powered flight is possible, but it also has given the agency some new ideas.

What makes its tests so impressive is the fact that flight at Mars is extremely challenging because the Red Planet has significantly lower gravity and a very thin atmosphere. Here I will go more in-depth into the historic 50th flight, what exactly Ingenuity has been up to, why its results are so important, and more.

Astronomers Discover A Water Reservoir Floating In Space That Is Equivalent To 140 Trillion Times All The Water In The Earth’s Ocean

The Milky Way contains 4,000 times more water than the universe’s greatest water resource, which is the size of 140 trillion seas and is hidden under a distant supermassive black hole.

Twelve billion light-years distant, where it appears as vapor spread across hundreds of light-years, this amount of water was found by two teams of astronomers.

The reservoir was found in a quasar’s gaseous region, a luminous, compact area at the center of a galaxy propelled by a black hole. This discovery shows that water could have existed from the beginning of the universe throughout the whole cosmos.

Although specialists are not surprised by this, water has never been found this far out. This amount of water is thought to have existed when the universe was just 1.6 billion years old because it took the light from the quasar, namely the APM 08279+5255 quasar in the constellation Lynx, 12 billion years to reach Earth.

The Plateau de Bure Interferometer in the French Alps was utilized by one group, while the Z-Spec equipment at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory in Hawaii was employed by the other.

The identification of trace gases (or enormous reservoirs of water vapor) in the early universe is made possible by these sensors’ ability to detect millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.

Researchers have the information they required to determine the enormous scale of the reservoir thanks to the finding of several spectral signatures of water in the quasar.

They capture two huge UFOs flying through space (Video)

Zack White

On September 9, 2021, an astronomer captured something unusual in space through his telescope. The author of the video said that for the first time he recorded something huge that he could not explain…

As the US continues to speculate about spy balloons, drones and aliens, a ChuckAstrophotography footage surfaced this week showing something huge and very interesting.

The community of ufologists is currently maintaining an intense debate on UFO sightings but with a particular characteristic:

They would not be the classic small flying saucers, but we are talking about large ships, what we know as “supply ships.”

The graphic example they give would be the ships that come to mind when we think of The War of the Worlds or Independence Day.

“All over the world they are detecting a phenomenon of the appearance of ships of extraordinary dimensions.” About the mysterious record of the astrophotographer, he wonders:

“Are these geosynchronous satellite objects? But then why are there two of them in the same place? And if they’re locked in place, why aren’t they stretched out of my 15 second exposure?”

“Or could it be that these objects are two UFOs that are flying at high speed through space? I saw these objects while capturing Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) and Ghost Bush Star Cluster (NGC 6939).”

“The images in the video are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and the objects appear to be moving from west to east. They appeared just below the Ghost Bush star cluster”, explains the astronomer.

Other skygazers have also photographed huge alien craft flying through space at high speed, especially near the Orion Nebula.

Hunters See Cube UFO at Coos Bay, Oregon April 5, 2023, UFO Sighting News. Video.

Look at the UFO in the above screenshot, from the first part of the video. Its low. Look at the below screenshot at the UFO, its much higher. This is proof the UFO is rising, moving when seen! Screenshots have been focused and added contrast.

Date of sighting: April 5, 2023

Location of sighting: Coos Bay, Oregon, USA

Source: MUFON

 

Now this is interesting, hunters went out in search for prey when they encountered a glowing cube UFO. The cube is clearly lower in the beginning of the video and then much higher in at the end of the video. I use two specific bushes on the ground to get the right perspective and distance.  Compounded with the fact they all forgot about the UFO, as if the UFO itself erased the person short term memory. But they found the video and remembered it. When I had a UFO of dozens of 747 size UFOs (many soldiers in the parking lot stared upward in silence at them for 15 minutes) sighting in Rapid City, South Dakota in the USAF back in 1990,  I too forgot for a few days...oddly, not thinking about it at all, later realizing the memory was hidden from me by the UFOs themselves. Short term memory can be altered using alien technology. Clearly aliens use it when UFOs are seen but not wanting to be seen.

This just out today, I translated and wrote the subtitles in English myself. China vessels crossed into Taiwan territory waters and was warned off. China is doing a military exercise to punish Taiwan president for going to America and other countries to drum up support and friendship. So yesterday alone, Sat April 8th, 71 China military jets and 9 China military ships were inside Taiwan territory. Very soon, Taiwan will be attacked and China will use a fake military drill to do it with. If Taiwan is attacked, this channel will probably go silent, since all communications would be cut immediacy upon China attack in order for them to have a chance at success. Plz support Taiwan, we exist because the world cares to help keep us free. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan

How Did the Big Bang Happen?

The Big Bang model is typically broken down into a few key eras and events. Standard cosmology, the set of ideas that are most reliable in helping decipher the universe’s history, applies from the present time back to about a hundredth of second after the Big Bang. But before then, particle physics and quantum cosmology ruled the universe.

When the Big Bang occurred, matter, energy, space, and time were all formed, and the universe was infinitely dense and incredibly hot. The often-asked question “What came before the Big Bang?” is outside the realm of science because it can’t be answered by scientific means. In fact, science says little about the way the universe behaved until some 10–43 second after the Big Bang, when the Grand Unification Epoch began (and lasted only until about 10–35 second). Matter and energy were interchangeable and in equilibrium during this period, and the weak and strong nuclear forces and electromagnetism were all equivalent.

HIGH-RES ECHO. Evidence for the Big Bang comes from detailed data from the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) and Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellites. In 1992, COBE produced the first good CMB map (top); nine years later, WMAP followed with a far-more detailed version. 

NASA/WMAP Science Tea

The universe cooled rapidly as it blew outward, however, and by 10–35 second after the Big Bang, the epoch of inflation occurred, enlarging the universe by a factor of 1050 in only 10–34 second. During this wild period, cosmic strings, monopoles, and other exotic species likely came to be. As sensational as inflation sounds, it explains several observations that would otherwise be difficult to reconcile. After inflating, the universe slowed down its expansion rate but continued to grow, as it does still. It also cooled significantly, allowing for the formation of matter — first neutrinos, electrons, quarks, and photons, followed by protons and neutrons. Likewise, antiparticles were produced in abundance, carrying the opposite charge of their corresponding particles (positrons along with electrons, for example).

As time went on and particles’ rest-mass energy was greater than the thermal energy of the universe, many were annihilated with their partners, producing gamma rays in the process. As more time crept by, these annihilations left an excess of ordinary matter over antimatter. 

Chemistry has its roots deep in the history of the universe. At a key moment about one second after the Big Bang, nucleosynthesis took place and created deuterium along with the light elements helium and lithium. After some 10,000 years, the temperature of the universe cooled to the point where massive particles contributed more to the universe’s overall energy density than light and other radiation, which had dominated until then. This turned on gravity as a key player, and the little irregularities in the density of matter were magnified into structures as the universe expanded.

COSMIC DISCOVERY. Robert Wilson (left) and Arno Penzias unexpectedly discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation with this horn-shaped antenna.

Astronomical Society of the Pacific

The relic radiation of the Big Bang decoupled (picture heavy traffic suddenly clearing) nearly 400,000 years later, creating the resonant echo of radiation observed by Penzias and Wilson with their radio telescope. This decoupling moment witnessed the universe changing from opaque to transparent. Matter and radiation were finally separate. 

Observational astronomers consider much of the history of the early universe the province of particle physicists, describing what happened up to the formation of galaxies, stars, and black holes as “a lot of messy physics.”  They are more interested in how the first astronomical objects, the large-scale inhabitants of the universe, came to be about 1 billion years after the Big Bang. But before these astronomers can gain a clear picture of that process, they need to consider the role of the wild card — dark matter.

Did You Know That Baboons Were Trained in Ancient Egypt to Catch Criminals?

The ancient Egyptians were renowned for their worship of animals, and one of these was the baboon. In ancient Egyptian mythology, baboons are best known for their association with Thoth, the god of wisdom. In addition to their role in mythology, baboons also had a place in the society of ancient Egypt. They are commonly known to have been kept as pets, and mummified remains of these creatures have been discovered by archaeologists. In addition, baboons (or monkeys) have also been shown in Egyptian art to be participating in various human activities, including dancing and playing musical instruments, picking fruit, making wine and beer, and even catching criminals.

Connection to the Gods

During the Old Kingdom, Hamadryas baboons ( P. hamadryas ) and olive baboons ( P. anubis ) could still be found in the southern parts of Upper Egypt. By the time of the Middle Kingdom, however, it is likely that these animals were no longer indigenous to Egypt. During the New Kingdom, there is evidence that baboons were being imported from the south, either from Nubia, or from the land of Punt.

During the Pre-Dynastic period , a certain god by the name of Baba / Babi was worshipped. The name of this god may be translated as ‘Bull of the Baboons’, and it was depicted as a baboon. It has been postulated that this may be the origin of the word ‘baboon’ itself. By the time of the Old Kingdom, however, the baboon became connected with Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom. The association between the baboon and the god of wisdom was made perhaps because the former was perceived to be an intelligent animal.

• Baboon Sounds May Hold the Key to Understanding the Formation of Human Language
• Why Were Baboons Inscribed on the Walls of This Newly-Discovered Egyptian Tomb?
• The Veneration and Worship of Felines in Ancient Egypt

As Thoth was the patron god of scribes, baboons, being his sacred animal, have often been depicted alongside people of this profession. Thoth was also believed to be a lunar god, and because of that, baboons are sometimes depicted with a crescent moon on their heads. This, in turn, may have led to the association of the baboon with another moon god, Khonsu. This is evident at the Temple of Khonsu in Thebes, where statues of the god in his baboon form can be found in front of the temple complex.

Yet another god linked with baboons is Re, the sun god. The ancient Egyptians observed that baboons would bark at the rising sun, and this was turned into images of baboons with raised arms in the act of worshipping the sun. Lastly, one of the Four Sons of Horus, Hapy, is believed to have had a baboon head. This god was in charge of protecting the lungs of deceased individuals.

Special Roles of Baboons in Egyptian Society

As sacred animals, baboons were kept in temples, and cared for by their priests. Nevertheless, they were also kept as pets by those who could afford them, though for largely ritualistic purposes. Still, such pets were not always treated well by their owners. In Hierakonpolis, for instance, archaeologists have discovered a cemetery with the remains of various animals, including baboons, that were once kept as pets. The bones of the baboons suggest that they had been beaten repeatedly whilst they were alive. This cemetery is about 5000 years old, and dates to the end of the Pre-Dynastic period / the beginning of the Early Dynastic period. Therefore, it has been suggested that at this point of time, the ancient Egyptians were only beginning to learn how to keep animals as pets, and the beatings were meant to keep the baboons in line. As the Egyptians became better handlers, fewer beatings were administered to their pets, as seen in the remains of baboons from later periods.

In some works of ancient Egyptian art, baboons (or monkeys) are shown engaging in human activities. Some of these, like harvesting fruits from tall trees, could be plausible. In some parts of the world, monkeys are known to be trained to harvest fruits. In a tomb from the 12th Dynasty, baboons are even shown to be competing with humans for the collection of fruit.

Other baboon jobs, such as helping with alcohol production or rigging boats, seem a little more fantastical. Nevertheless, given that baboons were considered to be intelligent animals, it would not then be too surprising if the ancient Egyptians imagined baboons could do such activities.
