UFOs are often a frightening subject for many people, because the movies, TV shows usually show aliens as attacking Earth and exterminating humanity. However that view is not a true image of intelligent alien life. Here we see two glowing orbs playfully moving around, showing that they are not dangerous, not to be feared, just wanting to be seen. Yes, UFOs do perform for eyewitnesses sometimes. Especially if the UFO senses through telepathy that the human or humans watching are curious about them. Then, they may movie unusually in loops, circles above the eyewitnesses, and even stop and change locations all while monitoring the thoughts of the eyewitnesses through telepathy, recording it. Such info is useful data to aliens for the future if they want to reveal themselves to huge populations all at once.

Eyewitness states:
I like all I can see is that it was doing loop the loop in the sky right in front of me. And look up and see this fire thing going down going left going around in a circle and coming down that shooting up. It was just too weird. This is one of two videos that I will be submitting. Second video the objects were stationary then one of them shot straight up then left it was incredible to see.

Guys, this is weird. I was checking out todays sun images and noticed something really odd. There are two faces on the suns surface, one sad turning away and one happy turning toward earth. Now I know this sounds strange, but it is what it is, two faces, opposite emotions, opposite sides of the sun. The Sun is so huge, so enormous so important to life on Earth and so important to our solar system, it makes me wonder, is it alive? Perhaps one day, such things could be determined with futuristic technology, but today tech is limited, thinking outside the box is often frowned upon (no pun intended). But still, I have often wondered...is our sun a living entity or entities?
Investigation the 1996 Gray Alien interrogation video leaked from the secret military S-4 facility
Investigation the 1996 Gray Alien interrogation video leaked from the secret military S-4 facility
Jon Stewart has spent more than 20 years researching the authenticity of a VHS Tape showing an alleged interrogation of a Gray Alien who was captured sometime around 1991.
He watched the video soon after its release in 1996 and became intrigued by its realistic depiction of the Gray Alien.
Stewart consulted video and animation experts, who did not detect any forgery. Stewart received a list of medical and military personnel directly involved in the interrogation and was able to speak with several of the named individuals.
He also learned about a disgruntled group of military insiders associated with the infamous S-4 facility at Area 51 who revealed they were behind the leaked video.
Stewart concludes that the tape is authentic and was leaked by an insider called Victor.
In a recent video that has captured the attention of viewers, comedian Theo Von engaged in a conversation with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson about the universe, aliens, and other fascinating subjects. The discussion took an entertaining and thought-provoking turn as they touched on various topics, providing a unique perspective on the cosmos and our place in it.
The Universe on a Continuum
One of the most memorable moments in the video occurs when Theo Von humorously asks if the universe is “gay or straight.” In response, Neil deGrasse Tyson explains that the universe exists on a continuum, rather than fitting into specific categories. This idea extends to other aspects of life, such as our tendency to categorize hurricane strengths into distinct levels when, in reality, it’s a continuous spectrum.
This concept serves as a reminder that our minds often try to simplify complex ideas and phenomena into more manageable, binary categories. However, the universe is far more complex and diverse than our limited understanding can comprehend.
Feeling the Gaze of the Cosmos
As the conversation unfolds, Theo Von shares his experience of feeling like space is looking back at him when he gazes at the night sky. Neil deGrasse Tyson sympathizes with this sentiment, suggesting that there may be other intelligent life forms in the universe who could also be gazing at the stars, including our solar system. This thought-provoking idea invites us to contemplate our place in the cosmos and recognize the likelihood of other civilizations existing beyond our own.
Cherishing Our Existence
Throughout the engaging discussion, both Theo Von and Neil deGrasse Tyson emphasize the importance of cherishing our own existence and striving to make a positive impact on humanity. Given the vastness of the cosmos and the countless civilizations that may exist, each individual’s existence is a unique and special occurrence. As Neil deGrasse Tyson poignantly states, “Be ashamed to die until you’ve scored some victory for humanity.”
This lighthearted and intriguing conversation between Theo Von and Neil deGrasse Tyson serves as an excellent reminder of the wonders of the universe and our place within it. By exploring topics such as the continuum of the cosmos and the potential existence of other civilizations, we are invited to ponder our own existence and the impact we can have on humanity. While the conversation may have taken a humorous approach, it ultimately leaves us with profound insights into the vast and awe-inspiring nature of the universe.
In November 2014, a routine patrol by the Chilean Navy near the capital Santiago, between San Antonio and Quintero, in the Valparaiso region led to an unexpected encounter with an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP). While the technician tested the newly equipped on the Navy helicopter, it captured two large overlapping orbs.
The thermal camera’s readout indicated that the object was hotter than everything else in the frame and that its speed matched that of the navy helicopter, which was flying at 130 knots. However, the most intriguing part of the footage was the appearance of two plumes released by the object, not once but twice. The plumes appeared to be emitting some form of gas or vapor and were visible only in the infrared setting, not the optical viewer.
The Chilean Navy, which openly investigates UAPs, studied the video for two years before releasing it to the public. The government concluded that the object had the characteristics of a UAP, including its ability to avoid detection by radar and its lack of response to communication attempts by the navy crew.
In 2017, the Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena, a body linked to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC), classified the 2014 case as an “unidentified aerial phenomenon.”

A screen grab from a Chilean Navy video showing an odd signature in the infrared.
Experts who analyzed the footage provided various hypotheses but no definitive explanation. Some speculated that the object might have been a hostile craft trying to infiltrate Chilean airspace, although drone or balloon technology did not seem to fit the object’s characteristics.
Others suggested that the plumes could be contrails from a commercial jet flying at a low altitude, which would explain their irregular pattern and appearance. However, the absence of a corresponding radar signature and the object’s trajectory towards Santiago, a city with over 4 million people, raised concerns about a possible threat.
As per reports, the helicopter had a navy captain with extensive flying experience and a technician who was testing a new infrared camera for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations. The helicopter was flying at an altitude of around 4,500 feet, with great visibility and a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius. It was traveling at a speed of about 240 km/h.
At 1:48 pm, while testing the camera, the technician spotted a UFO flying to the left of the helicopter over the ocean. Shortly afterward, the object was visible to the naked eye. The two crew members realized that the object’s speed and altitude were similar to that of the helicopter, and the distance between them was roughly 55 to 65 kilometers.
The crew immediately focused the camera on the object and began recording it for roughly 10 minutes. They contacted two radar stations, one near the shore and the other at the DGAC’s central control system in Santiago. However, neither of the radar stations could detect the object, despite quickly identifying the helicopter. The controllers confirmed that there was no traffic in the area, neither military nor civilian and that no aircraft were permitted to fly there. The object was not detected by either the helicopter’s radar or the camera’s radar.
Following protocol, the pilot tried to contact the object via designated channels but received no response. For a duration of 9 minutes and 12 seconds, the technician was able to acquire infrared footage of the object, which primarily generates monochrome images that vary in tone based on temperature. The footage ends when the helicopter is called back to base, and the object disappears into the clouds.
As soon as the Navy obtained the footage, they handed it over to the CEFAA (the Chilean government agency which investigates UAPs or UFOs). General Bermúdez, together with nuclear chemist Mario Avila, a member of the Chilean Air Force scientific committee, conducted interviews with the two officers at their Navy base.
The Navy Captain stated that the object was a “flat, elongated structure” with “two thermal spotlights like discharges that did not coincide with the axel of motion.” The technician described it as “white with a semi-oval shape on the horizontal axis.” The technician stated: “in two instances it [the craft] discharged some type of gas or liquid with a high thermal track or signal.”
Kean wrote: “The French analysts proposed that the object was a ‘medium-haul aircraft’ coming in for a landing into the Santiago airport, and the effluent trail observed on two occasions probably results from dumping some cabin waste water, forming a plume oriented along the local wind blowing from the west.” They based this on their calculation that the distance between the two hot spots was “consistent with the standard distance between the two jet engines of a medium-haul aircraft.”
Chilean experts dismissed the possibility of it being a conventional aircraft, as it would have been seen on radar, needed clearance to land, and would have responded to radio communications. It was also noted that the plume ejected from the object was not water, as it would have fallen to the ground given the warm air temperature.
The altitude of the UAP was confirmed to be the same as the helicopter by French calculations, and meteorologists ruled out weather balloons and drones. The Chilean Navy and government investigated the incident and concluded that it was an unexplained UAP sighting. The incident was widely reported, including in the New York Times and the Huffington Post, and continues to generate interest in the UAP phenomenon.
The Chilean Navy’s encounter with a UAP resembles other reported sightings around the world, including by the U.S. Navy’s Tic Tac incident, which was captured on video by F/A-18 fighter jets in 2004. However, the Chilean video provides additional evidence that the phenomenon is not limited to one country or region.
Despite the lack of a definitive explanation for the Chilean UAP, its existence challenges conventional notions of aerospace technology and raises important questions about national security and scientific inquiry. As more countries and organizations acknowledge the reality of UAPs, the need for a coordinated and transparent approach to their study and management becomes increasingly urgent.
The idea that extraterrestrials could be interdimensional beings is advanced by many UFO researchers. This hypothesis seems to take a serious turn after the Skinwalker Ranch incidents, as well as astronomer and UFO researcher Jacques Vallée’s suggestion that aliens are real but exist in another dimension that coexists with ours.
The extraterrestrial hypothesis has remained the primary explanation for UFOs by many experts. However, there are many ufologists that have abandoned it in favor of the interdimensional hypothesis. Paranormal researcher Brad Steiger wrote: “We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon that is largely indigenous to planet Earth.”
The interdimensional hypothesis is viewed as an alternative to the popular extraterrestrial hypothesis, which is advanced by such experts as Meade Layne, John Keel, J. Allen Hynek, and Jacques Vallée. According to it, UFOs are a modern manifestation of a phenomenon that has occurred throughout recorded human history, which in prior ages were ascribed to mythological or supernatural creatures.
Dr. Jacques Vallée with Dr. Allen. J Hynek during the Projecct Blue Book
Jacques Vallée states that UFOs and related events of a paranormal nature involve visitations from other “realities” or “dimensions.” The idea proposes that these alternate realities exist separately yet parallel to our own. In 1975’s The Edge of Reality, Vallée and Hynek considered the possibility of what they call “interlocking universes.”
According to Hynek, “There could be other universe with different quantum rules or vibration rates if you want. Our own space-time continuum could be a cross-section through a universe with many more dimensions… Think what a hard time you would have convincing an aborigine that right now, through this room, TV pictures are passing! Yet they’re here. You have to have a transducer to see them – namely a TV set. Well, in the same sense there may be interlocking universes right here! We have this idea of space, we always think of another universe being someplace else. It may not. Maybe it’s right here.”
In his 1969 book “Passport to Magonia: On UFOS, Folkore and Parallel Worlds,” Vallée argues for a “parallel universe co-existing with our own.” The idea was reiterated in Vallée’s subsequent writings. He summarized his objection in his 1990 paper “Five Arguments Against the Extraterrestrial Origin of Unidentified Flying Objects”:
1. Unexplained close encounters are far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth; 2. The humanoid body structure of the alleged “aliens” is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel; 3. The reported behavior in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race; 4. The extension of the phenomenon throughout recorded human history demonstrates that UFOs are not a contemporary phenomenon; 5. The apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives.
A study published in ResearchGate proposes that there must be an interdimensional membrane that protects one dimension from the other, and the interdimensional tunnels that exist in between (connecting) those dimensions must have an unstable entrance, wandering unpredictably from one hyper-surface to another. There, if anyone gets caught in any of those tunnels’ entrance, devoid of any singularities and horizons, then they ought to travel to the other dimensions that will always be >4 as permitted by the laws of physics standing on the 4D universe.
American journalist John Keel (1930-2009) was a believer in extraterrestrials and speculated that the stories from folklore and religious texts were proof that humanity had indeed made contact with another form of intelligent life, but that they were not from outer space. Instead, they were beings from other dimensions: ultraterrestrials. Keel theorized that those beings could shapeshift to look like anything, and attributed them to stories of demons, monsters, angels, ogres and changelings. He thought those ultraterrestrials likely had a sense of right and wrong, and that they were capable of manipulating the mankind.
On the other hand, Evans argues that if the other dimension is slightly more advanced than ours, or is perhaps our own future, this would explain the tendency of UFOs to represent technologies close to the future.
One of the most fascinating documents about aliens as interdimensional beings was found in the FBI archives. Memorandum 6751(dated July 8, 1947) is most important to the UFOlogy, according to former FBI Special Agent John DeSouza. According to the report, among other species, we are visited by creatures not only from other planets but from other dimensions as well. In particular, they are from the etheric plane coexisting with our physical Universe, materialized entities that appeared as translucent giants.

Memo 6751 remained classified for 63 years until Executive Order 13526, which allowed for its declassification and release. The memo may not be a “smoking gun,” but it is significant that it remained untouched from the disinformation campaigns of the Project Grudge, Blue Book.
Could the phenomena at the Utah ranch, a.k.a. Skinwalker Ranch have been the result of interdimensional beings or time travelers accessing our space-time continuum, or physical beings jumping across vast interstellar distances via wormholes or stargates?
Dr. Travis Taylor joined businessman Brandon Fugals’s team at Fugals’s infamous Skinwalker ranch three years ago and firmly believed he would be able to resolve the ranch’s assorted mysteries in short order. But the longer he stayed, the stranger things became.
In his recent interview with investigative journalist George Knapp, he said: “You know, I had never seen a UFO until I got out there. Now, I have seen more UFOs now than you can count.”
In the surprisingly candid and wide-ranging interview, Dr. Taylor shared his opinion about the role of science in the pursuit of the unknown, his personal experience with strange phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch, the physical effects of close encounter cases, and the mysterious “hitchhiker effect” that multiple UFO/paranormal eyewitnesses had reported.
Alien Implants, Underground Bases and Sinister Experiments: A Secret Nightmare for the U.S. Government
Alien Implants, Underground Bases and Sinister Experiments: A Secret Nightmare for the U.S. Government
Nick Redfern
Is it possible that the U.S. Government is hiding a terrible secret about the alien abduction phenomenon? Just about the worst secret possible? Namely, that there exists a huge, underground installation far below the remote New Mexican town of Dulce, and to which alien abductees are taken…but never returned. It sounds like bizarre, over the top science-fiction. But, what if it isn’t? What if it’s true – and maybe even worse than we know or suspect? Welcome to the world of what has become known as the Dulce Base, after the aforementioned town under which it allegedly exists. At first glance there doesn’t seem to be anything unusual about Dulce in the slightest. It’s a small locale of less than three thousand people, the majority of them being Native Americans, and is home to the tribal headquarters of the Jicarilla Apache Reservation and dates back to 1887, which is when it was first settled. It has an inviting landscape and is dominated by hills, trees and green slopes. And the pace of life is far removed from that of the average, bustling city. It’s a perfect environment for those who have no time for the rat race. Except for one thing: the alleged atrocities going on below the town’s vast Archuleta Mesa.
UFO researchers talk about huge numbers of alien abductees held against their wills in a giant facility, thousands of feet below the surface and, in some cases, used in genetic experiments. Even used for food. The government, the rumor-mill goes, is unable to do anything about it. The military is helpless: trying to destroy the base would possible reveal the bleak truth to the public and the media, something which might create even more chaos and fear than already exists. So, the government stays as far away as it can from the base, hoping that the abductors from the stars will one day leave – and leave for good. But, how did this strange and almost unbelievable saga begin? Why do so many people in Ufology believe that such a base exists? It all revolves around a man named Paul Bennewitz.
(Nick Redfern) Alien abductions and government agencies
As far back as the 1960s, Bennewitz had an interest in UFOs: he was a card-carrying member of the Arizona-based Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, APRO, and lived with his wife, Cindy, in a pleasant part of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The offices of his company, Thunder Scientific, backed onto Kirtland Air Force Base – a facility which would come to play such a large and significant role in the Dulce story. Given that the Bennewitz family lived in Albuquerque, and taking into consideration Bennewitz’s longstanding interest in UFOs, it’s not at all surprising that Bennewitz took a great deal of interest in the cattle mutilation phenomenon which had hit various parts of New Mexico in the mid-to-late 1970s. And he quickly took note when, in 1979, he started to see strange aerial vehicles flying silently across the skies of Kirtland. He was sure they weren’t helicopters. And, they definitely weren’t regular aircraft. For Bennewitz, this left just one answer available: UFOs. But, what were alien spaceships doing flying over the base and also the nearby, huge Sandia Mountains in the dead of night? In the early days of his investigations, and when his mind was largely free of the paranoia that later overwhelmed him, Bennewitz suspected that aliens were just checking out what was going on at Kirtland. Within no time at all, however, and when he was exposed to the horror-stories coming out of Dulce, Bennewitz came to think that some faction of the military had been invited to work hand-in-glove with dangerous ETs – one of those Mafia-style offers it’s never wise to refuse.
As a result of his growing suspicions that the aliens and the military were in some kind of reckless cahoots, Bennewitz did something that proved to be his downfall: he approached staff at Kirtland and told them all about his research into the strange craft flying over the base and the mountains. He shared with them recordings of strange transmissions that came through his radio equipment – which he believed were coded, alien messages – and he admitted that he suspected there was something dangerous and disturbing going on in New Mexico; maybe even a secretly planned invasion of our planet by a gigantic alien armada. The military and intelligence officers with whom Bennewitz spoke listened carefully and closely. Whatever the true nature and origin of those craft and signals, the people at Kirtland were highly concerned by the fact that Bennewitz was onto…well, onto something. They wanted to know, exactly, what Bennewitz knew. Hardly surprisingly, he was placed under intense surveillance: his home was watched, his phones – both at home and at work – were tapped, and on occasion his mail was intercepted and read. Bennewitz soon found himself caught up in a bizarre world filled with truths, half-truths, lies and half-lies concerning alien abductions and extraterrestrial visitation – and to the point that he didn’t know what the truth was. The outcome: he finally went off the rails. But, before we get to that, we need to take a strange detour in the story of Paul Bennewitz.
(Nick Redfern) Paul Bennewitz's grave
There is no doubt that matters really went into high-gear when Paul Bennewitz was introduced to a woman named Myrna Hansen. On May 6, 1980, a panicky Hansen phoned the offices of the Cimarron, New Mexico Police with a confusing tale of something strange that had happened to her, less than twenty-four hours earlier. As a result of her frantic, almost-hysterical state of mind, Hansen didn’t make much sense. All that the officer on the other end of the line could make out were references to mysterious lights in the sky, people who may not have been people after all, and cattle. As luck would have it, though, the officer knew none other than Officer Gabe Valdez – who, as we have seen, played a significant role in the 1970s-era investigations into cattle-mutilations, black helicopters, and alien abductions. It just so happens that Bennewitz and Valdez had become friends – after meeting at an April 20, 1979 cattle mutilation conference at the Albuquerque Public Library; it was a conference which was packed with undercover intelligence personnel from Kirtland and special-agents of the FBI. And, due to the Valdez-Bennewitz connection, it wasn’t long at all before the latter found himself deep in the heart of the Myrna Hansen saga. Valdez put in a call to the Cimarron police and asked if one of their officers could drive Hansen the approximately 200-mile-long drive to Bennewitz’s home in Albuquerque. Fortunately, one of the officers was able to do just that and, as a result, Bennewitz and Hansen were soon brought together and the investigation of the latter’s astonishing experience began. And, “astonishing” is not an exaggeration.
It was the night of May 5, 1980 when Hansen and her son – a young boy at the time – were driving through northeastern New Mexico and saw something strange in the sky. Actually, two things: (A) a giant-sized UFO bigger than a pair of Goodyear blimps put together and (B) a triangular-shaped object of smaller dimensions. But, that’s when things became somewhat confusing. Although the welcoming atmosphere in the Bennewitz home helped to calm Hansen down, it was if a door had been placed in her mind – a door behind which was the most fantastic part of the story, but which she was unable to penetrate. Bennewitz contacted Jim Lorenzen, of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), and asked if he had any suggestions for how they might try and figure out what really happened to Hansen and her son. As it happens, Lorenzen did have an idea: he suggested bringing in Leo Sprinkle – who, remember, was instrumental to unveiling the curtains of the mind of Judy Doraty, who witnessed a horrifying cattle-mutilation event in 1973.
Sprinkle booked a flight and was in Albuquerque on the 11th of the month. He wasted no time in hypnotizing Hansen. The contents of that hypnotic session make for both absorbing and troubling reading. Now released publicly, the contents include the following from Hansen on that nightmarish evening: “”I’m driving. My son’s right there in my car, talking to me. I’m half tuning him out. The light is so bright. I feel like it’s coming in on me. I stop the car and we get out. This isn’t real. It can’t be happening. What is it? There’s another one. The bright is confusing. I want to leave, but I want to see what it is. My son wants to leave, but I’ve got to know what’s going on. So much commotion. They’re landing. Oh, God! Cattle are screaming! But I’ve got to know who is…the light is so bright. It’s orange. I want to see them. I want to go to them. I’m out of the car. Screaming of the cattle. It’s horrible, it’s horrible! Incredible pain! I still want to get to them, but they’re mad.”
The hypnosis also revealed that a significant number of hours had been lost during the trip – which was from Oklahoma to Eagle’s Nest, New Mexico. She was also able to recall seeing a cow somehow sucked into one of the craft – it was almost identical to the Judy Doraty incident of 1973. The story got even more bizarre and sinister: while still under the hypnosis, Hansen described being taken to a below-ground facility, where she saw body-parts in “vat”-like containers. She also recalled being implanted with a tiny device – but for what purpose she didn’t know. Bennewitz, though, believed that the implant would allow the aliens to monitor not just her movements, but her thoughts too. It’s perhaps not surprising that the Air Force was soon on the case – just as they were with the Judy Doraty saga of seven years earlier. Bennewitz was in touch with various players from Kirtland Air Force Base: chiefly, intelligence agents and military officers. When he confided in them the facts surrounding Myrna Hansen’s jarring encounter, they sat up and took notice in big-time fashion. The Air Force even quietly arranged for Hansen to meet with personnel from the New Mexico-based Lovelace Medical Center. There was a good reason for that: staff from the facility had been involved in studying the cattle population in northern New Mexico – cattle which may have been exposed to radiation under mysterious circumstances. On top of that, the Lovelace facility had a building on Kirtland Air Force Base.
Hansen was taken to the Lovelace installation – on three occasions – and x-rayed. The military wanted to know if that implant which Hansen talked about was real. Greg Bishop says that the military was determine to find out if they could find the minute device which “…Bennewitz was sure was embedded near the base of her skull along the spinal cord.” Sure enough, something was seen – but, Air Force doctors confided in Bennewitz that it was nothing than a “natural growth.” Whether those same doctors were telling the truth, or were trying to keep Bennewitz from learning that aliens really were secretly implanting American citizens with unknown devices and for unknown purposes, remains unknown. The story wasn’t quite over: further digging into the matter of that underground facility to which Hansen was taken went ahead – this time by the Air Force, rather than by Bennewitz. Hansen was soon hypnotized by a psychologist at Kirtland Air Force Base, something which led to an incredible revelation. In her hypnotized state, Hansen described being taken to what was without a doubt one of the most secure, underground facilities at Kirtland – a weapons-storage area that was comprised of several below-surface levels. No-one could explain how Hansen could have described the area – unless she had personally been there. It’s hardly surprising, then, that all of this sent Bennewitz’s fear-filled paranoia through the roof: he now suspected, to his horror, that the military was indeed working with the aliens, on a top secret program that involved alien abductions and cattle mutilations. He even suspected that portions of the underground portions of Kirtland may have been handed over to the extraterrestrial invaders. By force or willingly, he didn’t know.
(Nick Redfern) Me at the grave of Paul Bennewitz
Alien implants, cattle killed and dissected by strangers from the skies, abductees taken to an underground area on a military base, and the Air Force hypnotizing Hansen: what the hell was going on? Bennewitz knew that he had to continue to dig further still. He did exactly that – and, ultimately, to his cost and to his health. As Bennewitz began to piece the story together – a thesis he called Project Beta – he was approached by shadowy figures from Kirtland who advised him that if he wanted the real scoop on what was going down, then he really should turn away from Kirtland and, instead, focus his attentions on the small, northern town of Dulce. It was then that Bennewitz was exposed to the entire, horrific story. It was clear that Bennewitz was onto something – something big – but what? Had Bennewitz come across a highly classified military program at Kirtland? If so, was he diverted to Dulce as a means to keep him away from whatever it was that was going on at Kirtland? Or, incredibly, did the military and the intelligence community choose to confide in Bennewitz a real story of aliens under Dulce and of kidnapped citizens? Could it have been a bit of both? Maybe.
Whatever the truth was, when Bennewitz received horror story upon horror story of aliens eating abductees, of others used in terrible experiments, and of men, women and children implanted with what he was told by military personnel were mind-controlling devices, Bennewitz’s lid was well and truly flipped. Big time, too. His paranoia increased, as did his stress levels. He couldn’t sleep – which affected his ability to work at Thunder Scientific. Exhaustion soon set in – as did, finally, a complete breakdown. Bennewitz was checked into a medical center for treatment. He was a shell of his former self, a man burdened by just about the worst secret possible. Fortunately, Bennewitz made a recovery, but he was never quite the same again: his state of mind was still somewhat fragile and he shunned the UFO research community, preferring to keep his research to himself. He died in the summer of 2003, in Albuquerque, at the age of seventy-five. He never knew for sure what the truth was about UFOs, alien abductions and the Dulce Base. But, others followed Bennewitz, all of them determined to uncover the truth. Such is the amazing and controversial nature of the story of the Dulce Base, it’s not at all surprising that the story didn’t die when Bennewitz walked away from it. In fact, an entire subculture quickly came into being; it’s still intact today. One of the most intriguing thought-provoking things about Dulce – the town, itself – is that it really does have a long history of high-strangeness firmly attached to it. Evidence of this same high-strangeness dates back to the 1960s. That was when the area was chosen by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to be the site of a controversy-filled experiment.
The operation was known as Gasbuggy, a sub-project of a larger program with the codename of Plowshare. The AEC had an ambitious idea to detonate a small atomic device under the Carson National Forest, which covers more than one and a half million acres of northern New Mexico. Incredibly, the detonation was not just a plan: it came to fruition on December 10, 1967. The goal was to secure valuable pockets of natural gas, by literally blasting through the ground, which is exactly what happened. Today, however, more than a few UFO researchers believe that the detonation was not to try and locate natural gas pockets, after all, but to try and destroy the underground base at Dulce. That the town is, admittedly, only a few miles from the Carson National Forest has only increased the suspicions that one secret operation acted a cover for another. And, it’s a fact that digging in the area is still strictly forbidden today – under stringent U.S. Government laws. No wonder, then, that the story of the Dulce Base has turned a few skeptics into full-blown believers. Then, just before the dawning of the 1990s, the FBI released into the public domain its files on cattle mutilations in and around Dulce – files that ran to around 150-packed pages, and which included the vitally important papers of Officer Gabe Valdez.
Now, the time has come to take a look at the wildest claim of all: that way below Dulce’s Archuleta Mesa, countless masses of alien abductees are transformed into nourishment for the aliens – and although the government secretly knows this, it’s helpless to stop it. One source of the Dulce stories was a man who used the alias of Tal Lavesque. He claimed, in the pages of a highly controversial report called The Dulce Papers, that he had spoken to a military man who had successfully managed to penetrate certain parts of the base. That man was said to have been named Thomas Castello. He, Castello, reportedly said of the multi-levelled underground facility: Level 7 is worse, row after row of thousands of humans and human mixtures in cold storage. Here too are embryo storage vats of humanoids in various stages of development. I frequently encountered humans in cages, usually dazed or drugged, but sometimes they cried and begged for help. We were told they were hopelessly insane, and involved in high risk drug tests to cure insanity. We were told to never try to speak to them at all. At the beginning we believed that story. Finally in 1978 a small group of workers discovered the truth.”
(Nick Redfern) Is there a secret history in the United States? That of dangerous underground aliens?
Researcher/author Joshua Cutchin has offered his thoughts on this particularly inflammatory issue: “While abduction research does not overtly suggest that aliens are harvesting people for consumption, there may be a grain of truth to the report [contained in the pages of Valerian’s Matrix II]. ‘Nourishment is ingested by smearing a soupy mixture of biologicals on the epidermis. Food sources include Bovine cattle and human parts…distilled into a high protein broth…’” Then there is David Jacobs – who penned The Threat and Walking Among Us. He suspects that “aliens obtain fuel differently from humans, that their skin has a very unique function, and that they convert ‘food’ to energy very differently.” Jacobs makes another important point on this issue: “But these are mere glimpses into alien life and biology, and the reason we do not know more is that the aliens do not want us to know.” U.S. Army Colonel Philip J. Corso, the co-author with William J. Birnes of 1997’s The Day After Roswell, speculated on something very similar. He said that, “…if an exchange of nutrients and waste occurred within their systems, that exchange could only have taken place through the creature’s skin or the outer protective covering they worse because there were no digestive or waste systems.”
Paul Bennewitz is long gone. Those intelligence-based and military personnel at Kirtland Air Force Base, who fed the Dulce tale to Bennewitz, are either dead or in retirement. They are saying nothing. But, the story of the Dulce Base and its imprisoned (and possibly eaten or absorbed) alien abductees lives on. Whether the story is true, though, is quite another matter. Sometimes, fact really is stranger than fiction. On the other hand, though, fiction is sometimes presented as fact to hide another truth. Somewhere, and somehow, the saga of Paul Bennewitz falls into one of these categories. Possibly even in a confusing, chaotic collage of both.

VIDEO: 2 bright UFOs over New York 15-Apr-2023
A remarkable UFO sighting in New York City on 15th April 2023 has left locals scratching their heads. At around 9 pm, witnesses reported seeing an unusual glowing object in the sky that quickly multiplied into three distinct entities.
The extraordinary sight captured the attention of New Yorkers as they observed the bizarre phenomenon. One witness described the experience, saying, “I seen something glowing in the sky; I thought I was tripping. Then it was three of them, then 2, then one and just disappeared.”
Did Neil Armstrong Encounter Extraterrestrial Secrets on the Moon and in Ecuador?
Did Neil Armstrong Encounter Extraterrestrial Secrets on the Moon and in Ecuador?
Cueva de los Tayos
In August 1976, Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon, embarked on an enigmatic journey to explore a secret cave system in Ecuador called Cueva de Los Tiles. Over 100 people, including members of the Ecuadorian military, British scientists, and representatives from various universities, joined the astronaut on his quest.
The legend surrounding the cave system suggested that it contained a mysterious metal library, inscribed with an unknown language and believed to hold invaluable knowledge. Some people even speculate that the library contains information from a civilization beyond Earth that influenced the construction of ancient structures like the pyramids.
Armstrong’s expedition partner, Scottish engineer Stan Hall, initially informed him about the potential existence of this ancient underground library. Some people question why Armstrong, a highly respected scientist, would entertain such a notion. Could it be that his experience on the moon sparked his interest in extraterrestrial secrets?
In 1969, over half a billion people watched Armstrong land on the moon. However, rumors persist that the broadcast was interrupted for two minutes during which Armstrong supposedly reported encountering extraterrestrial beings and vehicles on the moon’s surface. NASA has consistently denied these claims, and Armstrong remained silent on the matter.
After returning to Earth, Armstrong’s behavior seemed to change, and he became increasingly private. This shift in personality prompted some to believe that he experienced something extraordinary during his time on the moon. Armstrong’s subsequent journey to Ecuador only added to the intrigue.
In the 1940s, social science professor Petronio Jaramillo claimed to have seen the ancient metal library in the caves when he was just 17 years old. He described thousands of metal books, each weighing around 40 pounds, engraved with mysterious characters and symbols. If true, this discovery would have profound implications for humanity’s understanding of our world and its history.
Despite the challenges posed by the dense jungle, dangerous wildlife, and treacherous terrain, Armstrong and Hall ventured into the cave system in search of the legendary library. They encountered numerous extraordinary chambers and even discovered a burial chamber containing a seated skeleton dating back to 1500 BC, an era when Ecuador was among the most advanced regions in the Americas.
Armstrong never publicly revealed the reasons behind his search for the ancient library, but his increasingly reclusive nature only fueled speculation. In 1994, during a speech at the White House, he made a cryptic remark, saying, “We have only completed a beginning. We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered. Breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers.”
To this day, the mystery surrounding the metal library endures, as does the possibility that it may hold secrets connecting ancient human cultures with extraterrestrial civilizations. Eileen Hall, the daughter of Stan Hall, has expressed her desire to continue her father’s and Armstrong’s quest by leading expeditions into the enigmatic caves. The cavern and its potential secrets remain hidden deep within the jungle, waiting to be discovered.
Calvin Parker and his friend Charles Hickson claimed that they had been abducted by strange creatures with lit-like mouths and crab pincers on October 11, 1973. The men were reportedly fishing near an abandoned port situated not far from their workplace in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The victims said they had seen a blue light that came out of the clouds above them and flew over their boat.
Parker described the object as a field-like shape, and according to him, it suddenly began to lower float above the water near their boat. Hickson and Parker were forced into the vehicle by grey humanoid creatures, whom they described as robots with unusual eyes, grey skin, and crab pincers for arms.

Philip Mantle notes
The creatures performed various experiments on them. As soon as the aliens allowed them to return to the boat, the men went to the local police station to report what they had experienced.
Professor J. Allen Hynek and Dr. James Harder interviewed both men in 1973, and what they heard was terrifying. According to the files of Dr. Harder, the victim said that the alien creatures had no necks & no helmets. Their hands were like crabs, and their mouths were slit-like. (Source)
When the abduction happened, Charles Hickson(42) and Calvin Parker (19) were sitting near the river. Suddenly, they saw a UFO, levitating in the air. When the door of the flying object opened, a 1.5 m alien came out, and the beam of light pulled them up into the spacecraft.

“They were levitating about a foot and a half above the ground,” Hickson said. At this point, Parker fainted, but Hickson, who remained conscious, was somehow paralyzed and watched helplessly as the creatures took him and Parker back to their ship.
“I kept saying to myself, I can’t believe this is happening,” he said, on tapes recorded by Pascagoula Sheriff Fred Diamond, the night of the encounter. “They are going to take me away with them and nobody will ever know what happened to us.”
Hickson provided most of the details of the incident to the Sheriff, describing the creatures as pale-skinned, five feet tall with claw-like hands and legs that fused into elephant-like feet. Hickson initially believed the creatures were the spacecraft’s crew, but later modified his story to say they were robots.
Hickson also described being examined by an object resembling a giant eye while lying on a table in a room filled with brilliant light. Parker claimed to have been unconscious during the incident, but later recanted and said he had been violated. The men reported the incident to authorities and were initially not taken seriously until they convinced the Sheriff of their story.
In 1993, Parker underwent a 90-minute hypnotic regression session with renowned ufologist Budd Hopkins, two decades after the original event. Unfortunately, Parker never received a copy of the tape, and Hopkins passed away in 2011, leaving the fate of the regression tape unknown. However, the diligent efforts of British UFO investigator Philip Mantle resulted in the tape being located and its full transcript included in a book.
The story of how the tape was found is noteworthy – it was in the possession of another respected ufologist, Dr. David Jacobs, who was entrusted with Hopkins’ documents and materials after his death. The hypnotic regression suggests that the Pascagoula event was just a small part of a series of alien encounters experienced by Parker from the age of six and throughout his life. The transcript also features disorienting shifts in time, violent interactions with extraterrestrial beings, and enigmatic scenes that add intrigue and suspense.
When the men were in a hypnosis session, they described the aliens as robots. They were released from the ship in 15-20 minutes and returned to the same place from where they had been abducted. The men said that the creatures had levitated them, with Hickson’s feet dragging along the ground, back to their original positions on the river bank.
According to Daily Star, after 45 years of the incident, Calvin Parker was hypnotized once again by Ufologist Kathleen Marden, and he remembered another interesting detail of this story. He claimed that the creature that had conducted the experiments resembled a woman without a face.
He said that the same creature had been noticed by him when he was 9 and 12 years old. He claimed that when he was 12 years old, he had seen a mysterious woman in the woods that had only lips and a “very relaxing smile” on her face. Presumably, she even tried to convince him to come up to her, but the boy decided not to.
In 1993, 20 years after the Pascagoula River incident, Parker again met a woman which he thought was the same from his childhood, but this time, she was faceless.
Calvin Parker
He said he was tortured by her. She was searching for something in his nose and due to that, he started bleeding. He said he had felt terrible pain but somehow managed to escape and return to his home.
It is difficult to say whether the memories that emerged 40 years after the events can be considered as new evidence in this case. Parker even mentioned it in his book, “Pascagoula-The Closest Encounter: My Story.”
According to a report by The Mirror, in February 2022, Calvin claimed that all his visions were coming true. Calvin said the aliens showed him terrible events from humanity’s past and also said that there is a plague going on right now about which the aliens warned him. While the world has seen numerous plagues, this one, according to him, gets “even worse”. Getting increasingly cryptic with his words, he said, “It was caused by mankind which is very bad because God is going to teach us a lesson and stay out of it before he steps back in”.
He even went on to say that the plague would kill millions, cause food shortages around the world, and turn survivors into barbaric scavengers who would kill just to survive. He also talked about having had a vision about World War 3 and that no nation would remain unaffected. The war would turn the world into a toxic wasteland where no crop would grow again.
During an interview with Fox 10, Calvin Parker stated that “UFOs and aliens are definitely a threat to humans.” When asked about the 2022 Congressional Hearings on UFOs/UAPs and aliens, Parker responded, “They’ve already proven that to certain humans in the past. I don’t know if we are experiments [to them] or what we are.”
Despite believing that the hearings were a positive step forward, Parker thinks that the government is withholding the truth about the phenomena because they fear that it could cause public panic. He stated, “They should just tell us the truth – if it’s good or bad.” Parker also mentioned that some politicians have privately contacted him about the issue but have made him promise to keep it a secret.
It all had started a few years before the “Space Race” began between the two rival nations: the USA and Soviets. The world was stunned by the daily UFO sightings, and stories of alien contact flushed newspapers. It was the era of two types of people: the first one was groups of like-minded people, for example, engineers, scientists, and inventors who dismissed any alien contact and flying saucers’ stories, while the second ones were the contactees who also claimed to had been in the UFOs. These groups never aligned with each other, but Wilbert Brockhouse Smith (1910-1962), a Canadian engineer was the only line of connection between these two groups.
Mr. Smith worked as a senior radio engineer for the Canadian government’s Department of Transport in the late 1940s and 50s. He was the reason behind the radio communication between Canada and the United States at that time. Very few people know that Mr. Smith convinced the Canadian government to establish a program to monitor the UFOs that eventually detects the strange aerial phenomenon which, according to him, was not earthly. While asking Americans about the existence of UFOs, he received a reply from them that the US government had put this subject at their uppermost concern, and it was even more top secret than the atomic bomb.
“One of the most important things I had to realize was that we are not alone. The human race in the form of man extends throughout the universe and is incredibly ancient. Also, its appearance in physical form is but one of its many manifestations along the path of progress. This planet has been colonized many times by people from elsewhere and our present human race are blood brothers of these people. Is it any wonder that they are interested in us,”Wilbert Smith said.

Besides, according to researcher Grant Cameron, Mr. Smith played a major role in establishing Radio Ottawa used by Canadian spies and also for tracking secret Soviet communications.
In 1950, the Canadian UFO study program Project Magnet was established by Transport Canada under the supervision of Mr. Smith. The government funded the project for four years, but he received informal funding after. In 1952, he set up an observatory at Shirley’s Bay to study the findings of UFO sightings under Project Magnet. He had a personal interest in geo-magnetism, which made him conclude that the UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin, propelled by magnetic forces, and actually from parallel universes.
Mr. Smith said: “It is my opinion that the people from elsewhere choose all sorts of methods to make contact with us, and their technology and understanding being much better than ours, they can use methods which we find quite incomprehensible.”
Interestingly, he believed that the UFOs were controlled through physic powers, and such statements embarrassed the Department of Transport. In 1952, when the great UFO wave hit the media, Mr. Smith claimed that the United States Air Force shot down a UFO near Washington, D.C, recovered its piece and let him borrow it. When asked if he had returned the piece to the USAF, he replied that it went to a much more highly secret group (It was neither FBI nor CIA), which identity he could not disclose.
Surprisingly, Mr. Smith was also a firm believer in aliens. In 1961, he gave a speech at the Vancouver Area UFO Club, where he claimed to had been in contact with aliens, referring to them as “the boys topside.” Furthermore, he said that the aliens had explained to him that the speed of light is not constant, and time works differently in the universe, not chronological ticking that people can imagine on Earth, but a “field function” that changed throughout the universe, and which could be altered.

Their ships as he was told, were supported on the Earth’s gravitational field. The fields surrounding their ships, he added, created areas that reduced areas that weakened the strength of objects that came into contact with them, accounting for the destruction of earthly military craft that flew too close to them. This explained, among other phenomena, the May 1956 crash of a military jet into the Villa St. Louis convent in Orleans — the jet, Smith said, flew into a “very strong vortex of reduced binding,” causing it to break apart.
When nuclear explosions happened, he added, similar unstable vortices were formed. His unnamed friend, who had also been in communication with “these people from outside,” claimed to have spoken with one of them, Tyla, a garbage collector whose duty was to clean up the radioactive messes left by such man-made explosions. Tyla, according to Smith, grabbed the stuff, transported it onboard his ship, rendered it inactive, and then dumped it in a remote location on Earth. Tyla reportedly told a friend in 1948 that he would dump his next load near Ottawa at an appropriate moment so that many people could observe it.
On November 21, 1950, Mr. Smith wrote a memo that was classified as “Top Secret” but later, it was recovered from the Archives of the University of Ottawa. According to the memo, the Canadian government was serious about UFOs and had been building a secret technology using oceanic radiation, atmospheric radioactivity, and geo-magnetism. He further wrote that his work in geomagnetic and the energy on which flying saucers operate was connected. (Source)
By summarizing sightings reported in 1952, Mr. Smith reported that UFOs were “a hundred feet or more in diameter; they can travel at speeds of several thousand miles per hour; they can reach altitudes well above those which should support conventional aircraft or balloons, and ample power and force seem to be available for all required maneuvers.”
Project Magnet was discontinued just a few days afterward. Ottawa Journal reported that scientists insist, “there is no proof flying saucers exist but they honorably admit there is no proof that all the strange and wandering objects reported in the sky are freaks of imagination or atmosphere.”
Before his death from cancer, Mr. Smith had asked his wife to hide all his research and sensitive files, as he was afraid that they would get into the wrong hands. “They will be coming to ransack all my work,” Smith proclaimed. He died on December 27, 1962, and as he predicted soon after that, the Soviets, Americans, and Canadians approached his wife. (Source)

Before His Death, NASA Astronaut Said “Aliens Arrived To Stop Nuclear War”
Before His Death, NASA Astronaut Said “Aliens Arrived To Stop Nuclear War”
After returning from the Moon, Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong (1969) and Edgar Mitchell (1971) changed their views on the origin of life on Earth. Both space pioneers tried to explore more about the Earth and spent much time understanding who could be behind everything. Without resisting, Armstrong accepted an invitation from the Hungarian explorer to go on a quest to the Amazon jungles to search for some information about aliens and previous civilizations. Besides, after returning to Earth, Mitchell left NASA and founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which advocated exploring the universe by means of the inquiry that might lay outside science and religion.
Although there are conspiracy theories claiming that Armstrong saw aliens on the far side of the moon, he remained silent on the topic. His expedition to the Andes Cave with other top officials is the only information that hints that Armstong was interested in the extraterrestrial subject. On the other hand, Mitchell always expressed his views on alien life and got deeper into the theories about extraterrestrials.
“From looking at Earth from space you come up with the question, who are we, how did we get here and where’s all this going? And that’s an ancient, ancient question that humans have asked for a long time… My experience was to realize that perhaps our science is wrong at answering these questions and perhaps our religious cosmologies are archaic and flawed. And given that now we are an extraterrestrial civilization ourselves, we need to re-ask these questions, and do a lot more work to find the answers.”
Edgar Mitchell during an Apollo 14 training session in 1970
Why did Edgar Mitchell get so much into extraterrestrials? Probably the answer lies within the most famous Roswell UFO crash. In 1947, 16-year-old Mitchell lived on a ranch near the crash site. It was the moment that fueled the entire UFO theories around the globe. According to Blake Stilwell, a former Air Force combat photographer, Mitchell believed that the aliens had prevented the nuclear war between the Soviets and the Americans, and it is on record.
Stilwell wrote: “He [Mitchell] also claimed that top military officials had hidden evidence of UFOs, potentially alien spacecraft and that they were particularly fond of hovering over White Sands Testing Range in New Mexico. I have wondered if we are prepared for our own survival. The only way for humans to gain some control of the species’ mad trajectory, he believed, was “by questioning many fundamental assumptions underlying civilization,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell told the Mirror in 2015 “White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons – and that’s what the extraterrestrials were interested in… They wanted to know about our military capabilities. My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.”He further stated that other military officials had confided in him that alien spacecraft were to blame for shooting down nuclear missiles over the Pacific Ocean and destroying them.
“I have spoken to many Air Force officers who worked at these silos during the Cold War,” Mitchell continued. “They told me UFOs were frequently seen overhead and often disabled their missiles. “Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their [test] missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft. “There was a lot of activity in those days.”
Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO researcher believed Mitchell was an honorable and truthful man. He said, “clearly, because of who he is, he’s had access to government, military, and intelligence community personnel at the highest level, but because – quite understandably – he won’t name his sources, we can’t be certain these people were being straight with him, or indeed that they were privy to any classified information about UFOs.”
In 2016, Wikileaks revealed thousands of emails that were allegedly linked to Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. The emails unfolded secret information shared with Podesta about UFOs and ETs. In 2015, Podesta received emails from Mitchell that expressed his concern about the weaponization of space and its impact on the ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence). Despite the fact that aliens might be violent as shown in various sci-fi, the notable astronaut called them nonviolent in an email. (Source)
In January 2015, he sent an email to Podesta, asking him to have an urgent meeting to discuss Disclosure and Zero Point Energy (ZPE). He was concerned about the peace in space. Mitchell wrote: “My Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield will be there too, to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI. Another colleague is working on a new Space Treaty, citing involvement with Russia and China. However, with Russia’s extreme interference in Ukraine, I believe we must pursue another route for peace in space and ZPE on Earth.”
Carol Rosin, one of Mitchell’s longtime collaborators, and Terri Mansfield confirmed to Geekwire Mitchell was indeed the author of the two emails. Rosin noted that Mitchell and Podesta shared an interest in extraterrestrial lore. “As you know, Dr. Mitchell was courageously educating people about the fact that ‘we are not alone,’ that there is no evidence of there being any hostile ETs here or coming to control, intervene or harm us, that we can have zero point energy, that there are no weapons based in space and that this is the unique time in history when our leaders can sign and ratify the ‘Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space’ that has been introduced by the leaders of Russia and China,” Rosin said.

According to terrimansfield.com, “Terri (Terese) Mansfield is the Executive Vice President for Fundraising in the Public Interest (FPI), founded by President and CEO Suzanne Mendelssohn, Ph.D., Earth’s only ETI obedience healer as well as science intuitive for tau neutrino zero point energy (ZPE)”. In addition, Terese is the Director of the ETI (Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Peace Task Force.
Terri witnessed the Phoenix Lights event on March 13, 1997. She described the event as a peaceful ETI greeting to humanity. “Little did I know at the time that what I was witness to was the Mother Craft, a two-mile-wide craft that shared the night sky with multiple crafts, seen by thousands of witnesses in Arizona as a peaceful ETI Hello to Earth,” she explained. (Source)
Mitchell emailed Podesta again on September 18, 2015. He wrote: “Because the War in Space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk. Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth. They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.”
It was confirmed by one of Mitchell’s collaborators that the meeting between Podesta and him never took place. During the 2016 election campaign, Podesta declared he would convince Clinton to declassify as many UFO files as possible. In 2014, he tweeted that his biggest failure during the Obama administration was not to ask them for the release of UFO files.
Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell died in 2016 but for his entire life, he was a pacifist and a promoter of ETI reality. According to him, ZPE is the ultimate energy source from which all matter derives.

NASA Webb’s First Full-Color Images, Data Are Set to Sound
NASA Webb’s First Full-Color Images, Data Are Set to Sound
There’s a new, immersive way to explore some of the first full-color infrared images and data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope – through sound. Listeners can enter the complex soundscape of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, explore the contrasting tones of two images that depict the Southern Ring Nebula, and identify the individual data points in a transmission spectrum of hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b. “Music taps into our emotional centers,” said Matt Russo, a musician and physics professor at the University of Toronto. “Our goal is to make Webb’s images and data understandable through sound – helping listeners create their own mental images.”
A team of scientists, musicians, and a member of the blind and visually impaired community worked to adapt Webb’s data, with support from the Webb mission and NASA’s Universe of Learning.

This data sonification maps @NASAWebb's near-infrared image of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula to a symphony of sound. Unique notes represent gauzy regions & culminate in a buzzing soundscape.
A near-infrared image of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, captured by NASA’s Webb Telescope, has been mapped to a symphony of sounds. Musicians assigned unique notes to the semi-transparent, gauzy regions and very dense areas of gas and dust in the nebula, culminating in a buzzing soundscape.
The sonification scans the image from left to right. The soundtrack is vibrant and full, representing the detail in this gigantic, gaseous cavity that has the appearance of a mountain range. The gas and dust in the top half of the image are represented in blue hues and windy, drone-like sounds. The bottom half of the image, represented in ruddy shades of orange and red, has a clearer, more melodic composition.
Brighter light in the image is louder. The vertical position of light also dictates the frequency of sound. For example, bright light near the top of the image sounds loud and high, but bright light near the middle is loud and lower pitched. Dimmer, dust-obscured areas that appear lower in the image are represented by lower frequencies and clearer, undistorted notes.

NASA’s Webb Telescope uncovered two views of the Southern Ring Nebula – in near-infrared light (at left) and mid-infrared light (at right) – and each has been adapted to sound.
In this sonification, the colors in the images were mapped to pitches of sound – frequencies of light converted directly to frequencies of sound. Near-infrared light is represented by a higher range of frequencies at the beginning of the track. Mid-way through, the notes change, becoming lower overall to reflect that mid-infrared includes longer wavelengths of light.
Listen carefully at 15 seconds and 44 seconds. These notes align with the centers of the near- and mid-infrared images, where the stars at the center of the “action” appear. In the near-infrared image that begins the track, only one star is heard clearly, with a louder clang. In the second half of the track, listeners will hear a low note just before a higher note, which denotes that two stars were detected in mid-infrared light. The lower note represents the redder star that created this nebula, and the second is the star that appears brighter and larger.

NASA’s Webb Telescope observed the atmospheric characteristics of the hot gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b – which contains clear signatures of water – and the resulting transmission spectrum’s individual data points were translated into sound.
The sonification scans the spectrum from left to right. From bottom to top, the y-axis ranges from less to more light blocked. The x-axis ranges from 0.6 microns on the left to 2.8 microns on the right. The pitches of each data point correspond to the frequencies of light each point represents. Longer wavelengths of light have lower frequencies and are heard as lower pitches. The volume indicates the amount of light detected in each data point.
The four water signatures are represented by the sound of water droplets falling. These sounds simplify the data – water is detected as a signature that has multiple data points. The sounds align only to the highest points in the data.
Mapping Data to Sound
These audio tracks support blind and low-vision listeners first, but are designed to be captivating to anyone who tunes in. “These compositions provide a different way to experience the detailed information in Webb’s first data. Similar to how written descriptions are unique translations of visual images, sonifications also translate the visual images by encoding information, like color, brightness, star locations, or water absorption signatures, as sounds,” said Quyen Hart, a senior education and outreach scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. “Our teams are committed to ensuring astronomy is accessible to all.”
This project has parallels to the “curb-cut effect,” an accessibility requirement that supports a wide range of pedestrians. “When curbs are cut, they benefit people who use wheelchairs first, but also people who walk with a cane and parents pushing strollers,” explained Kimberly Arcand, a visualization scientist at the Chandra X-ray Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the initial data sonification project for NASA and now works on it on behalf of NASA’s Universe of Learning. “We hope these sonifications reach an equally broad audience.”
Preliminary results from a survey Arcand led showed that people who are blind or low vision, and people who are sighted, all reported that they learned something about astronomical images by listening. Participants also shared that auditory experiences deeply resonated with them. “Respondents’ reactions varied – from experiencing awe to feeling a bit jumpy,” Arcand continued. “One significant finding was from people who are sighted. They reported that the experience helped them understand how people who are blind or low vision access information differently.”
“One significant finding was from people who are sighted. They reported that the experience helped them understand how people who are blind or low vision access information differently.”
These tracks are not actual sounds recorded in space. Instead, Russo and his collaborator, musician Andrew Santaguida, mapped Webb’s data to sound, carefully composing music to accurately represent details the team would like listeners to focus on. In a way, these sonifications are like modern dance or abstract painting – they convert Webb’s images and data to a new medium to engage and inspire listeners.
Christine Malec, a member of the blind and low vision community who also supports this project, said she experiences the audio tracks with multiple senses. “When I first heard a sonification, it struck me in a visceral, emotional way that I imagine sighted people experience when they look up at the night sky.”
There are other profound benefits to these adaptations. “I want to understand every nuance of sound and every instrument choice, because this is primarily how I’m experiencing the image or data,” Malec continued. Overall, the team hopes that sonifications of Webb’s data help more listeners feel a stronger connection to the universe – and inspire everyone to follow the observatory’s upcoming astronomical discoveries.

The US government has passed legislation protecting government whistleblowers, including those who may have information on UFOs. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), headed by Director Sean M. Kirkpatrick, is responsible for fielding these whistleblower reports. Kirkpatrick is set to answer questions during a hearing with the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, and the public is closely watching to see how he responds. While some commentators praise Kirkpatrick’s performance, others criticize it.
There is speculation that whistleblowers have gathered information on legacy UFO government programs, but it remains to be seen if their testimony will successfully uncover these programs, causing UFO disclosure or making it public. Dr. Colm Kelleher, a former manager of a secret Pentagon UFO program and author of Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, has made claims regarding downed UFO craft that could provide important information to AARO and others.
There is no doubt in the credibility of Dr. Kelleher. He is a biochemist with a background in cell and molecular biology. He has worked in various research institutions and works at the National Institute of Discovery Science, where he applies forensic science techniques to investigate scientific anomalies.
Dr. Kelleher told Newstalk Breakfast that he stumbled upon a unique job advertisement in a scientific magazine seeking scientists interested in studying the origin and research of consciousness of the universe. He accepted the position and led a team of 50 people investigating UFOs in the US and Brazil. The program, which was top secret and funded by the Defence Intelligence Agency for $22 million, resulted in 104 technical reports on UFOs. The program only became public when the New York Times broke an article about it in 2017.
Dr. Kelleher stated that they had no interest in finding extraterrestrial life. Instead, they focused on documenting the UAP’s behavior and technology using photography and video. He explains what they found: “The technology these objects displayed: they outclassed the best F18 fighters in our arsenal.”
“They outperformed everything we had, so it was pretty obvious these were not United States technology, Chinese technology, or Russian technology. So we did know that they were from somewhere else. But in terms of little green men or aliens, we have no idea of who or why these objects are in United States airspace.”
In the latest Weaponized podcast episode with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Dr. Kelleher confidently said that the UFOs are real. He admitted that they have downed UFOs from unknown origins and that they have been trying to reverse engineer and exploit those technologies in order to understand their physics.
In the interview, Corbell asked Dr. Kelleher if the UFOs are real, and he immediately said “Yes.” He continued: “UFOs are technologically sophisticated. They have performance characteristics that are, you know, the five observables are well-documented. But they also have a very profound effect on some people, or they have superficial effects on other people, but they do have effects on people. So going forward is to combine both of those, is to study UFO performance, and, you know, the hope is that out of UFO performance can come theoretical physics which will eventually translate into engineering.”
Dr. Kelleher discusses the possibility that UFOs are interacting with planet Earth because of the presence of humans. He suggests that it is unlikely that UFOs are only focusing on non-human life forms such as marsupials or trees, and that they are more likely to be interested in interacting with humans, who are the dominant species on the planet. This leads to the hypothesis that humanity itself is the focus of the interaction between these unknown entities that we call UFOs, as other intelligent beings are believed to be operating these objects.
He then discusses the vast number of UFO sightings globally, which implies that interactions with humans are important and produce something that the UFOs need or are interested in. He argues that it is unlikely that the hundreds of thousands or even millions of sightings that have occurred over the last 77 years since 1945 are random events that are passing through and just being in the right place at the right time. Instead, Dr. Kelleher suggests there is more to it than that, as the sheer number of sightings implies that interactions with humans are somehow important and produce something that the UFOs need or are interested in.
Dr. Kelleher also notes that the incidents of the Skinwalker Ranch are emblematic of this whole thing, as they demonstrate how human perception can be altered during UFO interactions, which may affect human consciousness.
He shares the incident with six individuals at Skinwalker Ranch, who all saw completely different things through their night vision binoculars during a UFO sighting. This incident is used as a metaphor to suggest that human perception is altered in many cases as a result of or during UFO interactions. He proposes that maybe human perception as it pertains to human consciousness is one of the objectives where the UFO phenomenon somehow interacts with human consciousness for a purpose, though he admits that they do not know what that purpose is.
From Mystery Wire, In an exclusive interview with Dr. Colm Kelleher: (Source)
Well, I was hired in November of 2008. The AAWSAP program ran from September 2008 to late 2010. So one of the first tasks that I had coming on board was to put together a team of UFO focused investigators as quickly as possible. So I was thinking back on this and between November 2008, and probably April 2009, I personally conducted about 300 telephone interviews in an attempt to recruit different people for different positions at AAWSAP. In addition, I did at least 100, face to face interviews in my office in that period of time. So we’re talking about a pretty rapid clip in terms of bringing forth a lot of people into the office, sometimes there were one or two people outside.
But our focus was in hiring a team of PhD level scientists, that would include physics and biology, master’s level scientists, technicians, we also looked for database analysts, and military intelligence personnel who had a long history investigative background. And of course, we also were looking for a lot of security officers, because security was a big issue. Interestingly, one of our program managers was a 20 year veteran of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, also known as AFOSI. And this guy was very, very seasoned investigator. And he helped us a lot in what turned out to be attempted formation of a relationship with AFOSI, which is discussed in the book. But all of this hiring and recruitment occurred within a four or five month period.
I think by the end of May of 2009, we had a team of about 50 people. And George, when you consider that this was a 24 month contract, so not only were we putting together the security infrastructure of this of this large organization, and that included facility security clearances, getting everything up to a level that was sufficient for inspections, but hiring these people, training all of these different people. And then we executed multiple programs side by side. And all of this happened in a 24 month period. So we were on a pretty rapid clip. And I would say, I’ve worked with government organizations in the past, NASA and DoD in other capacities, and putting that kind of level of activity together in a 24 month period, I think was pretty extraordinary. And, obviously, Dr. Lacatski, his input in Washington, DC, and greasing the wheels to make all of this happen, putting together a pretty large organization that was focused only on UFO investigations. That was the key.

Astronomers Find Out What Happens to Rocky Planets That Wander too Close to Their Stars
This artist's illustration shows the fiery exoplanet WASP-76b. Previous study shows the planet rains iron it's so hot. Now astronomers have detected barium in its atmosphere.
Astronomers Find Out What Happens to Rocky Planets That Wander too Close to Their Stars
The massive Kepler survey found a treasure trove of exoplanets. But in all that wealth they found three anomalies: what appeared to be rings of dust surrounding stars where planets should be. They were rocky planets in the process of being obliterated. And a team of astronomers that found a way to use these gory sites to understand some of the most mysterious and hard to detect planets in the universe.
We currently know of about 5,000 exoplanets in the galaxy. This represents only a small fraction of the estimated 1 trillion worlds within the Milky Way. But even though we’ve made great strides, we have exceptional difficulty finding one particular class of exoplanet: the small, rocky ones. Our techniques rely on transits. When an exoplanet crosses in front of the face of the star, it causes a small dip in brightness from our point of view. But if the planet is too small, the change in brightness isn’t large enough for us to detect, and so the small planets, roughly the size of the Earth and smaller, remain hidden from us.
But recently a team of researchers recently pointed out that some anomalies in the Kepler data may be a blessing in disguise. Among the data returned from Kepler includes what appears to be rings of dust and debris surrounding a star. Previous researchers had concluded that these are rocky planets in the process of obliteration. They are worlds that got too close to their parent star, and the heat of that star is boiling them alive.
The team of researchers released a paper detailing simulations of how this process could unfold. They found that these small worlds are caught between two extremes. Because they orbit closely to their parent star, they are almost certainly tidally locked, which means that only one side of the planet faces the star at all times. The other side is permanently locked in night. The day side gets blasted to such a degree that instead of a crust it just has a thin shell of pure magma. But the other side is so cold that the rocky crust remains in place.
The night side cools down the planet while the day side heats it up. The astronomers found that there is only a very narrow window where we can observe such situations. If a planet is too big or the star is not bright enough, then it does not evaporate enough material for us to detect it in something like Kepler. However if the planet is too small or the star is too intense, the entire planet obliterates in a short enough time that we are unlikely to see it in a random sample of stars.
Only certain special cases can lead to a ring of debris large enough and visible enough for us to see it. Going from this the astronomers estimate that for every star in the galaxy there is roughly one planet the size of the Earth or smaller.
Additionally, the astronomers found that these debris trails can give us very important clues as to rocky planetary formation. We don’t normally get to crack open planets and see what’s inside of them. But in these cases the parent star is doing the job for us. They advocate for a follow-up observations with the James Webb Space telescope to study these systems in detail to understand what these rocky planets were made of.
Active volcanism. Plate tectonics. Retaining the atmosphere without a magnetosphere. There's so much to learn about Venus!

Artificial Intelligence Produces a Sharper Image of M87’s Big Black Hole

The image should guide scientists as they test their hypotheses about the behavior of black holes, and about the gravitational rules of the road under extreme conditions.
The EHT image of the supermassive black hole at the center of an elliptical galaxy known as M87, about 55 million light-years from Earth, wowed the science world in 2019. The picture was produced by combining observations from a worldwide array of radio telescopes — but gaps in the data meant the picture was incomplete and somewhat fuzzy.
“With our new machine learning technique, PRIMO, we were able to achieve the maximum resolution of the current array,” study lead author Lia Medeiros of the Institute for Advanced Study said in a news release.
PRIMO slimmed down and sharpened up the EHT’s view of the ring of hot material that swirled around the black hole as it fell into the gravitational singularity. That makes for more than just a prettier picture, Medeiros explained.
“Since we cannot study black holes up close, the detail of an image plays a critical role in our ability to understand its behavior,” she said. “The width of the ring in the image is now smaller by about a factor of two, which will be a powerful constraint for our theoretical models and tests of gravity.”
Tens of thousands of simulated EHT images were fed into the PRIMO model, covering a wide range of structural patterns for the gas swirling into M87’s black hole. The simulations that provided the best fit for the available data were blended together to produce a high-fidelity reconstruction of missing data. The resulting image was then reprocessed to match the EHT’s actual maximum resolution.
The researchers say the new image should lead to more precise determinations of the mass of M87’s black hole and the extent of its event horizon and accretion ring. Those determinations, in turn, could lead to more robust tests of alternative theories relating to black holes and gravity.
The sharper image of M87 is just the start. PRIMO can also be used to sharpen up the Event Horizon Telescope’s fuzzy view of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. And that’s not all: The machine learning techniques employed by PRIMO could be applied to much more than black holes. “This could have important implications for interferometry, which plays a role in fields from exoplanets to medicine,” Medeiros said.
The dodo was an unusual bird. It's believed that the name "dodo" stems from the Dutch word "dodoor," meaning sluggish. However, in studying its anatomy, scientists think it could have run at fast speeds.
However, the dodo was not quick enough to outrun its doom. Living on an island with no predators, the dodo was quick to trust the human settlers that made their way to its island, which eventually caused its demise. Here are five other things you may not have known about the dodo.
1. Unusual Appearance
Dodos lived on the Indian island of Mauritius and are descendants of Asian pigeons. Weighing about 50 pounds, it sported a big head, large hooked-tipped bill and short legs. Most notably, their wings were too short and their pectoral muscles weren't strong enough to fly. This is most likely a result of evolutionary biology.
Without the need for flight to escape predators, dodos adapted to grow larger and eliminated the ability to fly. Other birds who once flew but evolved into non-fliers include penguins and ostriches.
2. Reproduction
While many birds lay more than one egg at a time, it has been speculated from witness reports that a female dodo would lay only one egg at a time. Since they were flightless, they would build their nests on the ground and surround them with grass.
The dodo population thrived until Dutch settlements started at Mauritius in 1638. As people began inhabiting the area and killing the dodo, the population never recovered and eventually went extinct.
3. Extinction
For many years, the dodo had all the food needed to survive and thrive on Mauritius and lived without threats. That is, as mentioned above, until a Dutch settlement arrived. Despite popular belief, settlers didn't like the taste of the dodo bird, and the dodo population decrease wasn't the result of the birds being consumed.
The animals the settlers brought with them, including rats, monkeys, dogs, sheep and pigs, were responsible for decimating the dodo population. These animals destroyed nests and ate the eggs while humans damaged the forests that the dodos lived in. The generally accepted extinction date is 1662, although, in 2013, researchers put the date as late as 1690.
4. They Weren't Stupid
Some synonyms for the word "dodo" are "ignoramus," "dummy," "moron" and "dull." But dodos were not stupid. Research shows that their brain-to-body size relationship suggests moderate intelligence levels. Dodos also had a large olfactory bulb for enhanced smelling capabilities. This is unusual among birds, who typically rely on vision.
5. Scientists Might Try To Bring Them Back
Evolutionary biologist, Beth Shapiro, travels to remote locations seeking fossils from which to extract the DNA of long-extinct animals. Among other animals, her work has focused on the dodo. Earlier this year, she said the dodo had been completely sequenced, although results haven't yet been published. She has expressed interest in the possibility of bringing back the dodo.
"If the dodo were to be brought back, it could be restored to protected habitats on [the island nation of] Mauritius, where people could go to observe dodos in their native habitat," she says in an interview with Smithsonian Magazine.

I saw this today and wanted to share it with you to get your thoughts on it. Its a glowing sphere which is odd to see when the sun in on the opposite side of the earth, so this UFO is giving off its own light. It reminds me of the temple Dome of Rock sighting, in Jerusalem back in 2011, many tried to debunk it, and all failed. So many possibilities exist, even if its determined to be aliens...it only brings us to more questions, like is it an alien entity often mistaken as an angel or demon? Is it an alien drone that records and transmits the data to the homeward, or is it an actual alien ship flown by an alien pilot watching, recording, and maybe even manipulating the future of humanity itself.
