Russian scientists risked everything to investigate UFO cases and incidents
Russian scientists risked everything to investigate UFO cases and incidents
During the darkest days of the Cold War, leaders in the USSR publicly described the UFO mystery as a capitalist plot, unworthy of scientific study. But behind the scenes, communist dictators held a much different view.
They authorized secret scientific studies of UFOs. For decades, individual scientists and academic groups throughout the USSR surreptitiously investigated UFO cases and incidents, at the risk of imprisonment - or worse. Most of their work wasn’t made public until the fall of the USSR in the early 90’s.
But even after the fall of the USSR in the early 1990s, the cover-up of UFO incidents continues, similar to the UFO cover-up in the U.S.
A real event that happened in 1995 and has been covered up since. The video has suddenly disappeared and the witnesses have probably been manipulated to remain silent on this event. Only three images have surfaced and show the landing of a huge extraterrestrial spacecraft that took place right in the suburb of Ostankino, which is located in the suburbs of Moscow. In the above 3 photo sequences, which should be part of a video, you can see 2 people, presumably of the Russian military, who closely observe the landing of the alien aircraft.
Journalist George Knapp traveled to Russia twice in the 90’s and spoke with scientists who had never before appeared on camera to discuss their work. In this episode, he and Jeremy Corbell review the courageous work done by Russian scientists during dangerous times.
Unprecedented UFO Sighting Over Deerfield Beach: A Cosmic Ballet at Dawn
Unprecedented UFO Sighting Over Deerfield Beach: A Cosmic Ballet at Dawn
As the sun began to crest over the eastern horizon, Deerfield Beach, Florida, became the stage for an extraordinary event that has left locals and online viewers astonished. On May 4th, 2023, at the crisp early hour of 6:13 a.m., a UFO sighting of remarkable clarity was captured on a Youtube live cam.
The video shows a fast-moving object streaking across the tranquil Florida sky, before it abruptly halts mid-air. In an astonishing display of aerial acrobatics, the UFO then catapults in the opposite direction, reaching velocities that defy our current understanding of physics. The event was over as quickly as it began, leaving only a trace of mystery and an excited online community in its wake.
This Deerfield Beach UFO sighting has sparked fervent discussion and speculation among both skeptics and believers. The object’s speed and maneuverability, combined with the crispness of the video, have left viewers in awe. Was it a drone? A secret military project? Or perhaps evidence of extraterrestrial life?
A new animation shows how these cosmic monsters compare to other cosmic objects, and to each other.
A new animation from NASA illustrates the tremendous scale of supermassive black holes, which are believed to dwell at the heart of most, if not all, large galaxies.
These cosmic titans have masses anywhere between 100,000 and tens of billions of times that of the sun. But astrophysicists aren't quite sure how supermassive black holes attain their incredible heft.
"Direct measurements, many made with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope, confirm the presence of more than 100 supermassive black holes," Jeremy Schnittman, a theorist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in a statement(opens in new tab). "How do they get so big? When galaxies collide, their central black holes eventually may merge together, too."
The new NASA video travels through 10 supermassive black holes of increasing mass, including the one at the heart of our galaxy, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), and the first black hole ever imaged by humanity, the black hole at the core of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87). The sizes of the supermassive black holes in the animation are scaled up based on the width of their "shadows."
All black holes have a spherical outer boundary called an event horizon, which is the point at which not even light can escape the black hole's tremendous gravitational pull. The diameter of the event horizon is determined by the mass of the black hole; more mass means a wider black hole. The shadow of the black hole is about twice the size of its event horizon, NASA officials said.
The animation begins at our sun, which is the most massive object in the solar system, accounting for 99% of its mass. Our view then pulls back to gradually reveal increasingly wider structures in the solar system, such as the orbits of planets like Mercury, Earth and Jupiter and the distance to features like the main asteroid belt and the Oort Cloud, a vast comet repository far from the sun. The animation compares these widths to supermassive black hole shadows of increasing size.
The first supermassive black hole featured is that of the dwarf galaxy J1601+3113, with a mass about 100,000 times that of the sun. This black hole's shadow is comparable to the width of the sun.
The animation also highlights Sgr A*, which has a mass 4.3 million times that of the sun and a shadow with a diameter around half the distance between Mercury and the sun. Pulling out further, the animation passes the two massive black holes located in the galaxy NGC 7727.
About 1,600 light-years separates these two black holes, which have masses 6 million and 150 million times that of the sun, respectively. The distance between the two behemoths is declining all the time, however, and astronomers estimate that, within 250 million years or so, the two black holes will merge, forming an even more massive daughter black hole.
Collisions like this could be the key to understanding how supermassive black holes grow. Such mergers cause ripples in space-time called gravitational waves, which detectors here on Earth such as the LIGO system have measured. And NASA is working toward a space-based gravitational wave detector called the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), which could detect even more of these space-time ripples, helping us better understand these violent events.
From these two collision-bound black holes, the animation moves on to larger-scale objects that would no longer fit within our solar system, such as the supermassive black hole at the heart of M87. This object, known as M87*, has a mass of about 5.4 billion suns, researchers recently determined.
M87,* which was directly seen by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in an image released to the public in 2019, has a shadow so wide it would take light two and a half days to traverse it, NASA officials said.
The video culminates at Tonantzintla 618 (Ton 618), which has a mass around 60 billion times that of the sun — the highest discovered to date. To put that into perspective: Ton 618 is around 15,000 times more massive than Sgr A* and is about six times more massive than every star in the Large Magellanic Cloud combined. (The LMC is a dwarf satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way.)
Ton 618 is located around 10 billion light-years from Earth and is so wide that it would take a beam of light several weeks to cross its shadow. The new animation lingers on the giant black hole for a few seconds before fading to black, giving viewers a chance to reckon with its mind-bending immensity.

A mysterious object that punched through the hole of a New Jersey home has been confirmed as a meteorite.
The object, which weights around 4lbs and measured four to six inches long, was discovered by the Kop family from Hopewell Township, New Jersey, earlier this week.
There were no injuries and minimal damage to the home itself. Suzy Kop, whose family owns the home, said she believed someone had thrown a rock into a bedroom upstairs.
The College of New Jersey, in nearby Ewing, tested it and confirmed it to be a space rock.
A meteorite punched a hole in the roof of the central New Jersey home, smashing into a hardwood floor and bouncing around a bedroom
The meteorite blasted through the ceiling of an upstairs bedroom. Fortunately nobody was in the room at the time
Suzy Kop, pictured, whose family owns the home, said they initially thought someone had thrown a rock into an upstairs bedroom Monday, but soon realized that wasn't the case
'It is most likely type LL-6, which means that it is lower in iron than most chondrite meteorites, and has been highly metamorphosed by intense heat even before entering the Earth's atmosphere,' the school said.
The family was initially shocked by the rock that crashed from space.
'We are thinking it's a meteorite, came through here, hit the floor here because that's completely damaged, it ricocheted up to this part of the ceiling and then finally rested on the floor there,' Kop told KYW.
'I did touch the thing because it thought it was a random rock, I don't know, and it was warm.'
Kop said hazmat officials responded to their home in case she and her family had been exposed to radioactive material, but those checks were all negative.
Kop said that she is thankful that no one was at the house when it happened.
Chief astronomer at the Franklin Institute, Derrick Pitts, said the rock could be four to five billion years old.
'It's been running around in space all that time, and now it's come to earth and it fell right into their laps, but for it to actually strike a house and people be able to pick up, that's really unusual. It has happened very few times in history,' he said.
Homeowner Suzy Kop surveys the outside of her home through which the rock penetrated
The object measured about 4 by 6 inches and weighs about 4lbs. Nobody was hurt
Some of the plaster can be seen hanging from the ceiling after a meteorite punched through
NASA said anyone who thinks they have found a meteorite must contact the Smithsonian.
'Although meteorites tend to hit Earth's atmosphere at high speeds, they slow as they travel through the atmosphere, breaking into small fragments before hitting the ground,' NASA said.
'Meteorites cool rapidly and generally are not a risk to the public.'
Meteoroids are bits of asteroids that have broken off. Once they enter Earth's atmosphere they become meteors. An asteroid the size of Mt Everest is what led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson recently appeared on CBS This Morning to discuss how officials are preparing to combat asteroids.
Kop said she is thankful that no one was at the house when it happened
The family who owns the home discovered the black, potato-sized rock in a corner - still warm. It left a dent in the hardwood flooring
The meteorite landed very close to the bed after landing at the New Jersey home
The discovery caught the attention of neighbors who stopped by the Kop's home for a look
'We've always known we don't want to get hit,' Tyson said. 'We've been hit - and let's talk to the dinosaurs about what happens when you get hit.
'We remember the dinosaurs because they have big teeth and they are ferocious - but a few people think about that 70 percent of all the world's species - of life - went extinct in that very same episode.'
Tyson continued: 'Little ones can come, and maybe we won't go extinct, but it can take out our grid, and we might have to jump-start civilization.'
The Astrophysicist called the operation to stop asteroids as 'the most expensive mission' and said it wasn't as simple as simply 'blowing it up.'
If you find a meteorite in the UK, it's yours to keep. In the US, however, if you find a meteorite on your land, you own it, but the US government has stated that no matter who finds a meteorite on public lands, it belongs to the Smithsonian Institute.
Chief astronomer at the Franklin Institute, Derrick Pitts, said the rock could be four to five billion years old
On November 30, 1954, Ann Hodges, then 34, was having a nap on the sofa in her Alabama home when she awoke with a jolt. She became the only human known to have suffered an injury after being struck by a meteorite. It caused a large bruise on her left side
Ann Hodges is seen standing where the meteorite crashed through her roof in 1954. The approximately 8.5-pound, 4.5-billion-year-old interplanetary traveler shot like a bullet through her Sylacauga home's roof
The Air Force formally returned the ten-pound meteorite to her. Major General Joe W. Kelly (right) handed it over to Love in the office of Rep. Kenneth A Roberts (D-Ala.) (leaning on cane)
Explained: The difference between an asteroid, meteorite and other space rocks
An asteroidis a large chunk of rock left over from collisions or the early solar system. Most are located between Mars and Jupiter in the Main Belt.
A cometis a rock covered in ice, methane and other compounds. Their orbits take them much further out of the solar system.
A meteoris what astronomers call a flash of light in the atmosphere when debris burns up.
This debris itself is known as a meteoroid. Most are so small they are vapourised in the atmosphere.
If any of this meteoroid makes it to Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Meteors, meteoroids and meteorites normally originate from asteroids and comets.
For example, if Earth passes through the tail of a comet, much of the debris burns up in the atmosphere, forming a meteor shower.
A metallic-looking rock that smashed through the roof of a residential home in New Jersey’s Hopewell Township earlier this week is indeed a meteorite — a rare one about 4.6 billion years old, scientists confirmed on Thursday (May 11).
"It was obvious right away from looking at it that it was a meteorite in a class called stony chondrite," Nathan Magee, chair of the physics department at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), whose office was contacted by the Hopewell Township police soon after the rock was found on Monday (May 8), told Space.com.
Chondrites are primitive rocks that make up 85% of meteorites found on Earth. Most chondrites found to date have been discovered in Antarctica; only rarely does one crash in populated areas.
The New Jersey rock, which is about 6 inches long by 4 inches wide (15 by 10 centimeters), is a notable exception. It slammed into the Hopewell Township house, dented the floorboard, punched two holes in the ceiling and was still warm when it was discovered by Suzy Kop in her father's bedroom around noon on Monday.
"I'm looking up on the ceiling and there's these two holes, and I'm like, 'What in the world has happened here?'" Kop told 6 ABC's Trish Hartman(opens in new tab).
Once emergency responders cleared Kop, her family and their home of any harmful radioactive residues, Kop handed over the space rock to the nearby college for further inspection.
At TCNJ, Magee's team consulted Jerry Delaney, a retired meteorite expert who had worked on the meteorite collection at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The team confirmed the space rock to be about 4.56 billion years old, which means it has been around since the beginning of our solar system and represents the leftover fragments from its creation.
The 2.2-pound (0.9 kilograms) meteorite, which will likely be named Titusville, NJ — the postal address closest to its landing site — is "in excellent condition, and one of a very small number of similar witnessed chondrite falls known to science," Magee said in a statement on Thursday.
The top layer of the meteorite has a blackened crust a few millimeters thick from partially burning up in Earth's atmosphere. Using a hand lens designed to look at rocks closely, his team found that the meteroite's minerals are blue and gray in color, with a small amount of other metals mixed in, Magee told Space.com.
The team studied the rock's texture and composition by placing it inside a large chamber of a scanning electron microscope. Based on initial estimates, the meteorite is a chondrite of class LL-6, which has less iron than other members of its family and is at least 30 to 40% denser than the most common rocks on Earth, like slate or granite.
"So it was clear it was not an Earth rock," Magee told Space.com.
Even before the space rock had breached Earth's atmosphere, it was exposed to a lot of heat in outer space that had heavily altered its structure and composition, so much so that it is difficult to easily distinguish individual grains or chondrules that make up the meteorite, scientists shared in Thursday's update(opens in new tab).

Extraterrestrial Life: Ancient & New. Proof of it Would be Incredible
Extraterrestrial Life: Ancient & New. Proof of it Would be Incredible
Nick Redfern
In the December 1960 / January 1961 issue of the NICAP UFO Investigator journal, a small article was published under the heading of Space-Life Report Could be Shock. It read as follows: “The discovery of intelligent space beings could have a severe effect on the public, according to a research report released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The report warned that America should prepare to meet the psychological impact of such a revelation. The 190-page report was the result of a $96,000 one-year study conducted by the Brookings Institution for NASA’s long-range study committee. “Public realization that intelligent beings live on other planets could bring about profound changes, or even the collapse of our civilization, the research report stated. ‘Societies sure of their own place have disintegrated when confronted by a superior society,’ said the NASA report. ‘Others have survived even though changed. Clearly, the better we can come to understand the factors involved in responding to such crises the better prepared we may be.’
“Although the research group did not expect any immediate contact with other planet beings, it said that the discovery of intelligent space races ‘could nevertheless happen at any time.” NICAP – the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, which was a public UFO research study group – continued: “Even though the UFO problem was not indicated as a reason for the study, it undoubtedly was an important factor. Fear of public reaction to an admission of UFO reality was cited as the main reason for secrecy in the early years of the AF [Air Force] investigation. “Radio communication probably would be the first proof of other intelligent life, says the NASA report. It adds: ‘Evidences of its existence might also be found in artifacts left on the moon or other planets.’”
NICAP further noted that the document gave weight to “…previous thinking by scholars who have suggested that the earth already may be under close scrutiny by advanced space races. In 1958, Prof. Harold D. Lasswell of the Yale Law School stated: ‘The implications of the UFOs may be that we are already viewed with suspicion by more advanced civilizations and that our attempts to gain a foothold elsewhere may be rebuffed as a threat to other systems of public order.’” NICAP concluded: “The NASA warning of a possible shock to the public, from the revelation of more advanced civilizations, support's NICAP’s previous arguments against AF [Air Force] secrecy about UFOs. All available information about UFOs should be given to the public now, so that we will be prepared for any eventuality.”
The document to which NICAP was referring was titled Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs. It was a document written by an employee of the Brookings Institution named Donald N. Michael. The report was contracted by the Committee on Long Range Studies, which was an arm of NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The document was completed and provided to the House of Representatives in the 87th United States Congress on April 18, 1961. What is particularly, intriguing, though, is that a copy of this particular document – on extraterrestrial life – was made available to personnel at the Nevada Test and Training Range. We know this, as a photocopy of the NT&T copy is now in the public domain. This raises a very important question: if the personnel at Area 51 are only working on programs relative to high-tech weaponry and secret aircraft, why, in the early 1960s, did they have a seemingly pressing need to learn all about the latest theories and data on extraterrestrial activity? With that important question in mind, let us now take a closer look at the document at issue.
More than half a century after it was completed, the document is still noted for its intriguing and controversial content, much of which has potential impact on the UFO phenomenon. One of the most notable entries reads: “While face-to-face meetings with it will not occur within the next twenty years (unless its technology is more advanced than ours, qualifying it to visit earth), artifacts left at some point in time by these life forms might possibly be discovered through our space activities on the Moon, Mars, or Venus.” It has been suggested by UFO theorists that this “artifacts” statement might imply Brookings and NASA had already uncovered data on – and secured photographs of - the controversial “Face on Mars,” which is discussed in an earlier chapter. The report then makes what can only be interpreted as a thinly veiled threat, regarding what the future might bring, if the presence of intelligent, extraterrestrial life in our midst was confirmed:
“Anthropological files contain many examples of societies, sure of their place in the universe, which have disintegrated when they have had to associate with previously unfamiliar societies espousing different ideas and different life ways; others that survived such an experience usually did so by paying the price of changes in values and attitudes and behavior.” On this very issue, in 2004 Mac Tonnies told me: “If our own history is any example, technologically robust civilizations inevitably subsume less sophisticated cultures, not merely by violently dismantling them, but by introducing a virulent strain of apathy. The infamous Brookings report to NASA, recommending that the discovery of extraterrestrial artifacts be covered up for fear of paralyzing research and development enterprises, stands as perhaps the most explicit elucidation of this idea.” The Michaels paper continued: “Since intelligent life might be discovered at any time via the radio telescope research presently under way, and since the consequences of such a discovery are presently unpredictable because of our limited knowledge of behavior under even an approximation of such dramatic circumstances, two research areas can be recommended:
“Continuing studies to determine emotional and intellectual understanding and attitudes -- and successive alterations of them if any -- regarding the possibility and consequences of discovering intelligent extraterrestrial life. “Historical and empirical studies of the behavior of peoples and their leaders when confronted with dramatic and unfamiliar events or social pressures. Such studies might help to provide programs for meeting and adjusting to the implications of such a discovery. Questions one might wish to answer by such studies would include: How might such information, under what circumstances, be presented to or withheld from the public for what ends? What might be the role of the discovering scientists and other decision makers regarding release of the fact of discovery?” The questions were many. Granted they were theoretical, but they provoked raised eyebrows and concerned thoughts within NASA and the U.S. Government.
An individual’s reactions to such a radio contact, said Brookings, “…would in part depend on his cultural, religious, and social background, as well as on the actions of those he considered authorities and leaders, and their behavior, in turn, would in part depend on their cultural, social, and religious environment.” And, as the Brookings team also noted: “The discovery would certainly be front-page news everywhere; the degree of political or social repercussion would probably depend on leadership's interpretation of (1) its own role, (2) threats to that role, and (3) national and personal opportunities to take advantage of the disruption or reinforcement of the attitudes and values of others. Since leadership itself might have great need to gauge the direction and intensity of public attitudes, to strengthen its own morale and for decision making purposes, it would be most advantageous to have more to go on than personal opinions about the opinions of the public and other leadership groups.”
Brookings noted an important issue that the conformation of alien life might have on the Human Race, as a whole: “The knowledge that life existed in other parts of the universe might lead to a greater unity of men on earth, based on the ‘oneness’ of man or on the age-old assumption that any stranger is threatening. Much would depend on what, if anything, was communicated between man and the other beings.” One of the most controversial issues that occupied Brookings was that relative to the impact that the existence of alien life would have on the world of religion: “The positions of the major American religious denominations, the Christian sects, and the Eastern religions on the matter of extraterrestrial life need elucidation. Consider the following: 'The Fundamentalist (and anti-science) sects are growing apace around the world. For them, the discovery of other life - rather than any other space product - would be electrifying. Some scattered studies need to be made both in their home centers and churches and their missions, in relation to attitudes about space activities and extraterrestrial life.
“If plant life or some subhuman intelligence were found on Mars or Venus, for example, there is on the face of it no good reason to suppose these discoveries, after the original novelty had been exploited to the fullest and worn off, would result in substantial changes in perspectives or philosophy in large parts of the American public, at least any more than, let us say, did the discovery of the coelacanth or the panda.” The matter of extraterrestrial existence, and specifically its impact on religion, was still impacting on NASA in the 2000s. As evidence of this, in November 2009, NASA announced that: “This past week in Rome as part of the International Year of Astronomy, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences hosted a Study Week on Astrobiology. Their discussion ranges from what it would mean to the Church if alien life were found, to whether or not science needs religion.” This final sentence, from NASA’s November 2009 press release, is highly significant, since it extremely closely echoes the words and recommendations of the Brookings report of 1960. The Human Race stood a very good chance of having its collective ego bruised by a close encounter with aliens, Brookings advised NASA: “If super intelligence is discovered, the results become quite unpredictable. It is possible that if the intelligence of these creatures were sufficiently superior to ours, they would choose to have little if any contact with us. On the face of it, there is no reason to believe that we might learn a great deal from them, especially if their physiology and psychology were substantially different from ours.”
Ironically, Brookings noted, those most likely to be “devastated” by the discovery of extraterrestrial life might not be the general public, but the scientific community – the very people looking for the aliens. Brookings explained its stance on this matter thus: “It has been speculated that, of all groups, scientists and engineers might be the most devastated by the discovery of relatively superior creatures, since these professions are most clearly associated with the mastery of nature, rather than with the understanding and expression of man. Advanced understanding of nature might vitiate all our theories at the very least, if not also require a culture and perhaps a brain inaccessible to earth scientists. “It is perhaps interesting to note that when asked what the consequences of the discovery of superior life would be, an audience of Saturday Review readership chose, for the most part, not to answer the question at all, in spite of their detailed answers to many other speculative questions.
“A possible but not completely satisfactory means for making the possibility ‘real’ for many people would be to confront them with present speculations about the I.Q. of the porpoise and to encourage them to expand on the implications of this situation. “Such studies would include historical reactions to hoaxes, psychic manifestations, unidentified flying objects, etc. Hadley Cantril's study, Invasion from Mars (Princeton University Press, 1940), would provide a useful if limited guide in this area. Fruitful understanding might be gained from a comparative study of factors affecting the responses of primitive societies to exposure to technologically advanced societies. Some thrived, some endured, and some died.” It is, perhaps, this final sentence that humankind had – and still has – the most to worry about. If extraterrestrials – friendly or hostile – one day show themselves to us, en masse, there is a very good chance that, as the Brookings report noted all those decades ago, from a psychological perspective we might not survive the encounter, at least not intact. This is one of the reasons why Brookings made what turned out to be its most controversial statement of all. It was a statement that said NASA should think very carefully about not when it should reveal, to the public, the truth about confirmed alien visitation, but if it should do so.
When local police in Wyoming set up a camera to catch a possible mountain lion roaming the area, instead they were surprised to see that something else was caught. An human like creature in athletic wear and a face like no other. Now over the centuries, stories of humans that turned into werwolves, vampires, zombies have lingered, and often the oldest stories have a grain of truth in them that keeps them spreading. Here it seems an alien who disguises himself as human was caught walking past the hunting cam at night. But the digital infrared camera can see things the human eye cannot and it lets you see the true alien. Yes you heard me right, I do know that aliens walk, live and even work along side us. This is one of them. No human could detect infrared light emitted from this camera, however an alien eyes are superior to our and could in fact detect it easily. This is 100% proof that alien live, work and take walks in Evansville, Wyoming.

The Enigma of the Varginha UFO Incident: A Critical Reassessment
The Enigma of the Varginha UFO Incident: A Critical Reassessment
In the realm of UFOlogy, few incidents stir as much intrigue and skepticism as the Varginha UFO incident of Brazil. Often compared to the Roswell event, this case has been the topic of many debates, documentaries, and discussions over the years. This article aims to critically reassess the intriguing tales surrounding this incident, sifting through the multitude of witness accounts, conspiracy theories, and official explanations to provide a comprehensive picture of the event.
The Incident Unfolds
In January 1996, in the town of Varginha, located in southern Brazil, a series of unusual occurrences set the stage for what would later be known as the Brazilian Roswell. It began with the sighting of a UFO by a few local residents, followed by reports of strange, alien-like creatures being encountered in different parts of the town. The narrative of the incident was further fueled by the unfortunate death of a young military policeman, Marco Eli Chereze, who was allegedly involved in capturing one of these creatures.
The Witnesses
The narrative was primarily driven by the testimony of numerous witnesses. The first were three young girls who claimed to have encountered a strange creature, which they initially thought was a demon, near a vacant lot. This creature was described as being roughly humanoid, with oily, brown skin, red eyes, and a strong, unpleasant smell.

The Why Files – Varginha UFO Crash: Alien Contact, Government Denial and Coverup
In subsequent days, other witnesses came forward, describing similar encounters or providing accounts of unusual military activity in the town. One of the key figures in these accounts was Eric Lopes, Marco Chereze’s partner, who was allegedly present during the capture of the creature and its transportation to the hospital. However, despite repeated attempts by UFO investigators to interview him, Lopes has consistently refused to discuss the incident.
The Skeptical Perspective
While the Varginha incident is often presented as a compelling case for the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings, it is essential to consider the skeptical perspective. There is, to date, no physical evidence supporting the claims of alien encounters, and the entire narrative is based on witness testimonies, which have shown inconsistencies over the years.
One of the main counter-arguments presented against the alien theory is the possibility that the creature encountered by the girls was actually a local man, Luis Antonio de Paula, known as Mudinho, who suffered from physical and mental disabilities. Additionally, some skeptics suggest that the widespread attention given to the incident, including its coverage in international news, might have influenced the recollection of events by the witnesses, leading to unintentional embellishments or alterations in their stories.
The Official Explanation and Conspiracy Theories
As with any high-profile UFO incident, the Varginha event has been subject to an array of conspiracy theories. The Brazilian military released a detailed report countering the alien encounter claims, stating that the military activities in the area were part of a routine training exercise and that the creature was actually a dwarf couple visiting the hospital.
However, these explanations have been met with skepticism, especially given the timing and the alleged cover-up attempts. Speculations suggest that the Brazilian government, possibly in collaboration with the U.S., is concealing the truth about the incident, a sentiment echoed by numerous UFO investigators and enthusiasts.
The Unresolved Mystery
More than two decades later, the Varginha UFO incident remains an unresolved mystery. The refusal of key witnesses like Eric Lopes to speak publicly about the incident only adds to the intrigue and speculation surrounding the event. However, without concrete physical evidence, the debate on whether this was a genuine extraterrestrial encounter or a case of mistaken identity and mass hysteria continues to rage on.
The incident serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the unknown and the lengths to which human curiosity will
Tot die conclusie komen onderzoekers nadat ze zich nog eens bogen over data die ruimtesonde Voyager 2 in de jaren tachtig over de manen verzamelde.
Recent kwamen onderzoekers tot de conclusie dat het hoog tijd wordt dat we de planeet Uranus en zijn manen eens van dichtbij gaan bestuderen. Maar stel dat we op korte termijn daadwerkelijk een sonde op deze planeet afsturen, wat voor instrumenten moeten we deze dan meegeven? Om die vraag te kunnen beantwoorden, moeten we eigenlijk een beetje kunnen voorspellen wat we daar gaan aantreffen. En in het blad Journal of Geophysical Research doen wetenschappers wat dat betreft nu een interessante duit in het zakje. Ze stellen namelijk dat zeker vier van de grote manen die Uranus rijk is mogelijk over een ondergrondse oceaan beschikken. Het gaat om Ariel, Umbriel, Titania en Oberon. Deze manen hebben een diameter van 1.160 tot 1.580 kilometer.
Met dank aan Voyager 2 De onderzoekers baseren hun conclusie op een nieuwe analyse van data die ruimtesonde Voyager 2 decennia geleden, tijdens een scheervlucht langs Uranus, verzamelde. Daarnaast maakten ze ook gebruik van observaties die vanaf het aardoppervlak van Uranus zijn gemaakt én bogen ze zich over de bevindingen van ruimtesondes Galileo, Cassini, Dawn en New Horizons (die stuk voor stuk ondergrondse oceanen op andere werelden ontdekten). Op basis van al die informatie maakten ze computermodellen, om daarmee vervolgens na te gaan hoe poreus het oppervlak van Uranus’ grootste manen is.
De modellen onthullen dat het ijzige oppervlak van deze manen waarschijnlijk weinig poreus is en als het ware dienst doet als een isolatielaag die voorkomt dat de warmte uit het binnenste van de manen ontsnapt. Op die manier is het intern warm genoeg om een oceaan te herbergen. Bovendien vonden ze een mogelijke warmtebron in de rotsachtige mantels van de manen, die hete vloeistof afgeven, waardoor de oceanen nog meer warmte kunnen vasthouden. Het is aannemelijk dat grote manen als Titania en Oberon ondergrondse oceanen hebben die warm genoeg zijn voor buitenaards leven.
Miranda valt buiten de boot Miranda – de vijfde grootste maan van Uranus – valt helaas buiten de boot. Miranda is één van de meest bijzondere manen in ons zonnestelsel en ziet er een beetje uit als een misbaksel. Mogelijk is de maan tijdens een botsing met een ander hemellichaam uit elkaar gespat, waarna de brokstukken weer samen zijn gekomen en Miranda vormden. Opmerkelijk zijn ook de gigantische valleien op de maan: sommige zijn wel twaalf keer dieper dan de Grand Canyon. Deze maan heeft een diameter van 470 kilometer en is te klein om oceaan te hebben. Wel zijn er op het oppervlak van Miranda sporen te zien van geologische activiteit. Mogelijk heeft deze maan in het verleden wel water vastgehouden, maar is deze oceaan inmiddels bevroren.
Antivries in de oceanen Een andere belangrijke ontdekking is dat er waarschijnlijk chloriden – net als ammoniak – aanwezig zijn in de oceanen van de grootste manen van de ijzige reus. Ammoniak is een antivries en heeft een laag vriespunt. Ook de aanwezige zouten in het water zouden een antivries kunnen zijn, waardoor de interne oceanen op deze natuurlijke satellieten in stand blijven.
Naar de tekentafel Nu kunnen de wetenschappers instrumenten ontwerpen die in staat zijn om de ondergrondse oceanen in kaart te brengen. Nu het aannemelijk lijkt dat ammoniak en chloriden aanwezig zijn onder het oppervlak, is het verstandig om het golflengtebereik van de spectrometers te verbreden, zodat het gereflecteerde licht van deze verbindingen kan worden opgevangen. Laten we hopen dat een ruimtevaartorganisatie in de nabije toekomst een missie naar Uranus aankondigt en dat we dan eindelijk meer te weten komen over deze buitenaardse werelden.
'We're thinking about rivers on a different scale than we have before.'
Ancient Mars may have had its share of raging rivers.
There are plenty of signs that liquid water flowed on the Red Planet long ago. But most of that evidence points to lakes, oceans or relatively gentle streams, such as the ancient creeks uncovered by NASA's Curiosity rover in Mars' huge Gale Crater.
But Curiosity's younger cousin Perseverance, which is been exploring a different Mars crater called Jezero, has rolled up on a long-dead riverbed that looks completely different. This one features coarse grains and cobbles, bulky stuff that couldn't be displaced by a mere trickle.
"Those indicate a high-energy river that's truckin' and carrying a lot of debris," Libby Ives, a postdoctoral researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, which operates Perseverance, said in a statement(opens in new tab) on Thursday (May 11). "The more powerful the flow of water, the more easily it's able to move larger pieces of material."
Perseverance gathered some of this newfound evidence at a spot the mission team calls Skrinkle Haven (apparently in a nod to a beach in England(opens in new tab)). The site features curving bands of layered rock, which were almost certainly formed by powerfully flowing water, NASA officials said.
But the nature of the river that sculpted this landscape remains a matter of some debate. It may have been a snaking river whose banks shifted over time, or a "braided" one marked by protruding sand bars, mission team members said.
In either scenario, the rock bands were likely much taller initially but were cut down to their present size by the sandblasting Martian wind.
"The wind has acted like a scalpel that has cut the tops off these deposits," Perseverance science team collaborator Michael Lamb, a river specialist based at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, said in the same statement.
"We do see deposits like this on Earth, but they're never as well exposed as they are here on Mars," Lamb added. "Earth is covered in vegetation that hides these layers."
Further potential evidence of fast-flowing ancient water comes from Pinestand, a hill that lies about 0.28 miles (0.45 kilometers) from Skrinkle Haven. Pinestand features sedimentary rock layers, some of which rise as high as 65 feet (20 meters).
"These layers are anomalously tall for rivers on Earth," Ives said. "But at the same time, the most common way to create these kinds of landforms would be a river."
The 28-mile-wide (45 km) Jezero hosted a big lake and a river delta long ago. Perseverance will continue exploring and characterizing this intriguing environment, which researchers think was capable of supporting Earth-like life long ago.
"What's exciting here is we've entered a new phase of Jezero's history. And it's the first time we're seeing environments like this on Mars," Perseverance Deputy Project Scientist Katie Stack Morgan of JPL said in the same statement. "We're thinking about rivers on a different scale than we have before."
Perseverance landed on Jezero's floor in February 2021, along with NASA's tiny Ingenuity helicopter. The rover is studying Jezero's geology, hunting for signs of past Mars life and collecting samples for future return to Earth.

For years, Daniel Bowman, a senior scientist at Sandia National Laboratories, has relied on a few simple supplies for his research: tape, painter’s plastic, and charcoal dust. He uses these everyday items to create huge, inexpensive balloons that can sail into thestratosphere using only the power of the Sun.
But trash they are not. The balloons carry important devices that listen in on Earth’s sounds — from earthquakes to the rhythmic motion of ocean waves crashing. Sensing major events and natural processes from the stratosphere gives Bowman and fellow researchers an important way to document what’s happening on our planet. Similar balloons might one day sail through other planets’ atmospheres, too.
At the Acoustical Society of America conference this week, Bowman and colleague Siddharth Krishnamoorthy, a research technologist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, presented their findings from ongoing research into Earth’s stratospheric sounds. They also outlined how similar techniques could be used to explore Venus’ hellish landscape.
EARS IN THE STRATOSPHERE
The stratosphere offers a unique respite from the rest of Earth’s atmosphere. It’s too high up for passenger airplanes and too low for satellites — meaning that there’s less sky traffic. And it’s still close enough to the ground to pick up sound waves with the right equipment.
Balloons can carry up super-sensitive microbarometers to this calm space and detect low-frequency sound waves happening all over the planet. Called infrasound, these noises are just outside the range of what we’re able to hear.
Despite the fact that we can’t sense it, Earth is full of infrasound. These frequencies are emitted by many natural processes, such as storms, ocean waves, and seismic events, emitting vibrations that can be picked up from miles above where they're happening.
“There's this incredible soundscape in the sky,” Bowman says, and researchers have only just begun to tune into it.
While some balloon-bound sensing tests took place during the 1960s, formal scientific efforts to record infrasound in the atmosphere didn’t happen until the past few decades. In fact, researchers are still learning exactly what sounds they’re hearing in stratospheric recordings.
“There are a lot of sounds that we record and we don't know where they're coming from,” Bowman says. It’s likely that many of these unidentified noises are mundane, created by sources like airplane turbulence, meteors, or even large industrial facilities with giant, rumbly fans.
Matching each of these sounds with their sources is an ongoing puzzle. But piecing it together could create a new way for researchers to detect events from the sky alone — which could be especially helpful for exploring planets where the ground is hard to reach.
BALLOONS ON VENUS
In the past few years, Bowman and colleagues have identified many noisy events from Earth’s stratosphere, using data from the ground to verify what they heard. They’ve pinpointed human-made sources like explosions and city noise, and identified the first earthquake from the sky in 2019.
Knowing that the balloon-based detection method works on earthquakes means that researchers could one day pick up on seismic events from other planets, too. Mars is known to have quakes of its own — appropriately called Marsquakes — which the InSight mission was able to detect in its lifespan on the Red Planet from 2018 to 2022.
Venus, on the other hand, is suspected to have Venusquakes just like its rocky cousins, but none of the spacecraft to land on the planet were ever able to detect one directly. Blame it on Venus’ harsh environment, which has a thick, suffocating atmosphere and surface temperatures around 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Back in the 1970s and 80s, the Soviet Union sent several landers to the planet’s surface, with the longest-surviving one lasting just over two hours.
“They actually got cooked from the inside, if we're going to talk about morbid deaths of robots on Venus,” Krishnamoorthy tells Inverse. “The landers went in a pressure vessel that kept the heat from the outside from coming in, but it also kept the heat from the inside [from] going out.”
The Soviets also sent a pair of balloons into the Venusian atmosphere during the 1985 Vega missions, which survived for about two days — a comparatively impressive feat. Since then, no balloons have made it back to the planet, but Krishnamoorthy says that they would be a powerful tool for future exploration.
Not only would the planet’s harsh environment be easier to tolerate from above, but sound also travels better through Venus’ dense atmosphere. “The same event on Venus would produce a signal on the surface that is about 60 times stronger than the Earth,” Krishnamoorthy explains.
And even though the design and materials of a Venus-bound balloon would be a lot different than the ones used on Earth, they would carry similar equipment to detect the signals of seismic events that are analogous to ones on our home planet.
DECODING SIGNALS
Balloons could provide a wealth of knowledge beyond seismology, Krishnamoorthy says. Being in the atmosphere, they could also detect chemical compounds, probe the planet’s magnetic field, or map out its geology, as long as they’re carrying the right tools.
And balloons could be useful to study other elusive bodies in the Solar System, as well. One potential target is Saturn’s moon, Titan, due to its dense atmosphere.
For the time being, no future Venus missions are slated to carry balloons. But Krishnamoorthy and colleagues will keep building up the library of detectable sounds from Earth’s sky and work on prototype balloons to prepare for future opportunities.
“Anything that flies on a mission honestly has … usually, like a 20-year journey behind it,” he says. “So that's basically where we are. We're just trying to get into a place where, when the opportunity comes, we're ready to do that.”
Government denial and cover up but civilians witnessed the Varginha UFO Crash
Government denial and cover up but civilians witnessed the Varginha UFO Crash
The Varginha UFO incident involves a series of events in 1996 when residents of Varginha, Brazil claimed seeing one or more strange creatures and at least one unidentified flying object (UFO).
The North American Air Defense Command, known as NORAD, was established in 1958. It was to provide early warning and defense against Soviet bombers and missile launches.
But it wasn't long before NORAD would be monitoring skies around the entire planet.
Early in the morning, on January 13th, 1996, NORAD contacted Brazilian Air Defense to report an object entering the Earth's atmosphere about 200 miles Northeast of Sao Paolo.
When asked what type of object, NORAD said it was "unidentified". A few minutes later, it crashed somewhere near the town of Varginha.
The Brazilian Army and Air Force quickly scrambled to get to the crash site before any civilians did. But they were too late. The craft was seen and the beings driving the craft we're gone, though one or more aliens are said to have been captured by Brazilian authorities.
Over the next few days, a series of events would unfold that would change the lives of the people in Varginha forever.
UFO "Orb" Sighted At 37,000 Feet By Latam Airline Passenger On May 8, 2023
This object was sighted durning a Latam Airline flight from Los Angeles to Lima. In the footage we can see the UFO keeping pace with the plane and at points in the footage we can see it through the cloud cover, which i my opinion that this UFO is in the air at a similar altitude and not something on ground level and moving pretty fast to be able to keep up with the plane.
Brightly Illuminated Diamond Shaped UFO Sighted Using The Clouds For Camouflage.
This Object was sighted over New Jersey on September 14, 2021 but just submitted to MUFON today. I the footage we can see this UFO using the clouds as some sort of cover but it is failing as it's brighter then the clouds so we can see it. Did the aliens or miltiary make a mistake in this design? Witness statement:
" I was driving and felt a weird energy I looked up and seen the ufo hovering and moving thru clouds for a few mins then It flew away fastly."

Mysterious Lights Over La Plata: A UFO Phenomenon?
Mysterious Lights Over La Plata: A UFO Phenomenon?
On the eve of May 9th, 2023, the usually calm and serene night sky over La Plata, Argentina, was interrupted by a baffling spectacle. Thousands of residents from this bustling city witnessed an extraordinary occurrence that has set tongues wagging and speculation flying. Two bright, flame-like lights appeared in the night sky, stationary and seemingly unaffected by the overcast weather, providing a visual spectacle that was nothing short of surreal.
An Unforgettable Night
Shortly after 10 pm, the peace of the night was punctuated by a flurry of activity. As if drawn by an unseen force, people congregated in the open spaces of La Plata, their eyes fixated on the western area of the city. Walter Romero, a member of the FAO La Plata, was among the first to bring attention to this peculiar sight. Friends of his quickly shared photographs of the event, depicting the strange luminous phenomena in the vicinity of Olmos.
Reports flooded in from various parts of southern Greater Buenos Aires, each describing the same sight: Two large, fiery tongues of light, standing still against the night sky. In spite of the almost overcast conditions, the lights were clearly visible, adding an element of ethereal beauty to the unusual spectacle.
In an even more puzzling twist, a similar phenomenon was reported in various parts of Mexico on the same night. This synchronicity further fuelled the mystery, leading to a wide range of theories. From a possible supernova explosion to the re-entry of space debris, the luminous gassing of a launch, and yes, even the possibility of UFOs, all hypotheses were entertained.
Could this be evidence of extraterrestrial life, or merely a strange atmospheric event? While some initially thought these might be “torches” from the YPF refinery reflecting against the overcast skies — a known occurrence — this theory was soon dismissed.
The Search for Answers
As we wait for the appropriate explanations, the night of May 9th, 2023, will certainly be etched in the collective memory of La Plata’s residents. Teams of experts are currently investigating this event, looking for clues in the shared photographs and witness accounts. While there are many theories, they are committed to finding a scientific and rational explanation for this event.
However, until an explanation is found, the incident continues to captivate the imagination of the residents of La Plata and indeed the world at large. The two bright lights that painted the night sky of La Plata have certainly sparked curiosity and a sense of wonder, reminding us of the vast, unexplored expanse of our universe, and the mysteries it continues to hold.
No matter the ultimate explanation, this event underscores the fascinating unpredictability of the cosmos. While we may not yet know what those lights were, the image of them hanging in the night sky, burning bright against the darkness, is a sight that will not soon be forgotten.
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.
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.”
A bizarre 'ultraluminous X-ray source' shines millions of times brighter than the sun, breaking a physical law called the Eddington limit, a new study finds.

Something in outer space is breaking the law — the laws of physics, that is.
Astronomers call these lawbreakers ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), and they exude about 10 million times more energy than the sun. This amount of energy breaks a physical law known as the Eddington limit, which determines how bright something of a given size can be. If something breaks the Eddington limit, scientists expect it to blow itself up into pieces. However, ULXs "regularly exceed this limit by 100 to 500 times, leaving scientists puzzled," according to a NASA statement(opens in new tab).
New observations published in The Astrophysical Journal(opens in new tab) from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), which sees the universe in high-energy X-rays, confirmed that one particular ULX, called M82 X-2, is definitely too bright. Prior theories suggested that the extreme brightness could be some sort of optical illusion, but this new work shows that's not the case — this ULX is actually defying the Eddington limit somehow.
Astronomers used to believe ULXs could be black holes, but M82 X-2 is an object known as a neutron star. Neutron stars are the leftover, dead cores of stars like the sun. A neutron star is so dense that the gravity on its surface is about 100 trillion times stronger than that of Earth. This intense gravity means that any material pulled onto the dead star's surface will have an explosive effect.
"A marshmallow dropped on the surface of a neutron star would hit it with the energy of a thousand hydrogen bombs," according to NASA(opens in new tab).
The new study found that M82 X-2 consumes around 1.5 Earths' worth of material each year, siphoning it off of a neighboring star. When this amount of matter hits the neutron star's surface, it's enough to produce the off-the-charts brightness the astronomers observed.
The research team thinks this is evidence that something must be going on with M82 X-2 that lets it bend the rules and break the Eddington limit. Their current idea is that the intense magnetic field of the neutron star changes the shape of its atoms, allowing the star to stick together even as it gets brighter and brighter.
"These observations let us see the effects of these incredibly strong magnetic fields that we could never reproduce on Earth with current technology," lead study author Matteo Bachetti(opens in new tab), an astrophysicist at the Cagliari Astronomical Observatory in Italy, said in the statement. "This is the beauty of astronomy … we cannot really set up experiments to get quick answers; we have to wait for the universe to show us its secrets."

The congressional document reveals that some UFOs are not man-made and pose a national security threat to the United States. Finally, the subject of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) is considered serious due to the lack of information about them and increasing military encounters. Meanwhile, UFO enthusiasts are waiting for the Pentagon to release a 23-minute video that will reportedly leave viewers “rattled.” Luis Elizondo claimed that it shows UFOs moving in a strange pattern.
It is more than 4 years since the New York Times article revealed the existence of the secret program (AATI) funded by the United States Army to investigate UFOs. Luis Elizondo ran the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATI) from 2007 to 2012. Since then, he has spoken about various incidents that happened to the US pilots and possibilities of alien existence.
Elizondo, who resigned from the Pentagon in 2017, has made several bold statements since then. His claims literally change the US government’s perspective on viewing UFOs. Moreover, he refused to talk more as he is afraid of being arrested.
In 2021, he stated to have seen the UFO footage, describing it as showing unidentified floating objects for 23 minutes. He made this revelation while talking to the YouTube channels Fade to Black and Witness Citizen UAP. During the talk, Elizondo revealed that the UFO video was extremely compelling.
According to Elizondo, the video is said to show multiple UFOs which are moving in ways and strange “patterns” that humans do not conventionally understand – with data recorded using US military systems.
He also mentioned this video in his interview with GQ. He stated: “It was the overwhelming weight of evidence and data. I was talking to pilots routinely. There’s videos out there [in government, that the public haven’t seen] – there’s one that’s 23 minutes long. There’s another one where this thing is 50 feet away from the cockpit. I mean, it ain’t ours. We know that. Sometimes you just couldn’t believe it – you’d have seven or eight incidents in a single day. I’d get these emails from an admiral or a ship’s captain saying, ‘Lue, what do you want me to do? I can’t keep people below deck forever. These things are swarming my ship, they’re all over the place.’ That’s tough. I kept promising the cavalry was coming and I’d have answers for them and the cavalry never came. Senior leadership didn’t want to deal with it.”
While discussing the 23-minute UFO video, Elizondo mentioned that it is a very compelling footage. “I did not say what it was. I sent it out to some highly trained experts in the ISR (Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) community. And when they came back to me, the title of the email was quote unquote ‘that UFO video’.”
He added: “It is definitive and its perplexing, every time you think you are like ‘thats what I am looking at’ – bang, it changes.”
When quizzed by host Jimmy Church on the way the object moved, its speed and if it was “beyond our capabilities,” Elizondo said it was enough to make officials “raise our eyebrows and say woah.”
Here is the transcript of Luis Elizondo’s interview with Sean of Witness Citizen, where he talked about the 23-minute video and 50-foot photo:
Elizondo: You know, the problem is that this battle isn’t over. We won a major battle with the report coming out of the UAP report, it was historic like you said, in the very first sentence of the very first paragraph. It says this is a preliminary report which means there are other reports, you know, congratulations, you won, you got it, right? And then it said that there were 144 incidents and only one they were able to identify. By the way, that was only in the last year and a half, it was from November 2019 and forward. By the way, it only involved the navy, right, so yeah, so people say, well there was one from the Nimitz, okay.
Sean: That equipment sucks or…
Elizondo: This is… well, so, you’ve got a lot of stuff happening, right? So, you know, we’re just now starting this journey together.
Sean: Yeah, you know, it is kind of overwhelming for a lot of people but I’ll tell you, the message is getting out there in the right way and the way that I kind of… uh… evaluate, that is talking to my wife because she’s not very into this stuff, so not that, she’s not against it, we did see something together but she’s not like me, she doesn’t have a podcast. But the news comes on, they talk about the report, I come home later, ask her about it, what was your takeaway? And she says, well, I guess they only identified one out of what a hundred something, and I’m like, yes…
Elizondo: Right.
Sean: …That’s exactly right, honey.
Elizondo: Exactly, by the way, some of these things were really, really close, so you know, you tell me.
Sean: Wow, that’s crazy, yeah… Oh, when are we going to see that 50-foot away pic?
Elizondo: Oh, man, that’s not up to me, but yeah, there’s a couple there that will rattle you pretty good, um… Yeah, there’s one I won’t go into detail, but the video is about 23 minutes long, it’s pretty good, man, gotta get that popcorn and some 3D glasses and maybe some coca-cola or something…
In order to have a glimpse of what the Navy and Air Force might capture in their camera, see the video below by the U.S. Navy that has been recently released, showing the support ship Shahid Baziar, from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, unlawfully towing the Saildrone Explorer. From this video, one may wonder how many high-quality UFO videos are in possession of the US Navy.
Elizondo clarifies that his job was never intended to study UFOs. It was to hunt terrorists and spies – and then use those same skills to hunt UFOs. “It’s the same thing,” he said. He further noted: “I didn’t care if it was supernatural technology, bottom line is there is something over controlled US airspace performing in ways we can’t – we’ve got to figure it out.” (Source)
He compared the growing push for disclosure on what the US knows about the mysterious craft to when mankind first came out of caves to look at the stars, or when man-made fire. He said the world may see a “paradigm shift” in our thinking – just like when the astronomer Galileo established the Earth was not the center of the Solar System.
“They tried to persecute him, to put him to the death – but at the end [the revelation] didn’t disrupt society and it benefited the species,” Elizondo said.
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle formed a trio toward the middle of the fourth century BC in ancient Greece to become the most well-known philosophers who ever lived. They were the founders of the present-day discipline. Any philosophers who lived before them are called “pre-Socratics.” Most people, even if they know nothing about the field of philosophy, recognize the names of Socrates, his pupil Plato, and Plato’s pupil, Aristotle, who went on to become the private tutor of Alexander the Great.

In Plato’s Republic, he mentions a speech by Socrates, in which Socrates remembers the near-death experience of a “warrior bold” who went by the name of Er the Pamphylian . According to Socrates, Er was killed in battle. Tradition has it that his body was placed on a funeral pyre after a period of some 12 days. Before the fires were lit, however, Er came to life with quite a story to tell. His “ soul went forth from his body” and “ journeyed with a great company ” to ‘‘a mysterious region where there were two openings side by side in the earth .” He observed disembodied people traveling up and down in space, depending on the kinds of lives they had lived. After seven days they were told they must journey on, and after another four days they saw “ a straight light like a pillar, most nearly resembling the rainbow, but brighter and purer.”
A Renaissance manuscript Latin translation of Plato’s ‘The Republic’
This pillar seemed to serve as a kind of hinge or pivot for the entire cosmos. The movements of the stars and planets, as well as the fates of all living beings, revolved around this central pivot. In the words of Socrates, it was if the central pivot was the shaft of a spindle that “ turned on the knees of Ananke ,” a goddess who was assisted in her duties by the three Fates; Clotho, Atropos, and Lachesis.
As Er watched, many souls who had died prepared to reincarnate to another life on earth. One man, for instance, had died before experiencing any of the terrors of the Underground. Because he had been rewarded in heaven, he decided to live his next life in complete opposition to his previous one, so he chose to be a powerful dictator.

VIDEO: Unexplained UFO Sightings: The Mysterious Orange Orbs Over Greensburg, Indiana
On a calm evening in Greensburg, Indiana, as night had just fallen on the 5th of May, 2023, an extraordinary event took place that has since captured the attention of UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike. A local resident, after wrapping up a day’s work, was treated to an unanticipated, but truly awe-inspiring spectacle – a series of mysterious, orange orbs dancing in the night sky.
Known for its serene ambience, Greensburg was an unlikely spot for one of the most intriguing UFO sightings of recent times. The witness, a longtime resident, was engaging in a routine stargazing session when the ordinary turned extraordinary. What initially appeared to be a single orange orb, soon split into several, tracing patterns in the sky before descending. The event, initially dismissed as fireworks, soon proved to be far more perplexing as it continued to recur.
As the witness began recording the unusual spectacle, a string of these orbs erupted towards the west, defying any conventional explanations. The unusual nature of the sighting quickly dispelled any notion that they might be SpaceX’s Starlink satellites, a common mistaken identity for UFO sightings.
This strange phenomenon left the observer and their spouse fascinated and bewildered. The pair had not encountered anything quite like it in the past, and no further sightings have been reported since the significant string of orbs that night.
The video footage captured that night has stirred up considerable interest online. The intrigue surrounding these UFO sightings has drawn the attention of experts and enthusiasts alike, attempting to unravel the mystery of the orange orbs over Greensburg.
With no definitive explanation in sight, the discussion continues to heat up. Are these sightings evidence of extraterrestrial life, or is there a more mundane explanation waiting to be discovered? As the debate rages on, one thing is clear – Greensburg, Indiana, has firmly etched its name on the map of intriguing UFO sightings.
