NASA’s Mars Rover Sets New Oxygen Creation Record

With NASA’s future plans of landing humans on Mars and transporting them to and from the planet, one of the most important challenges is the lack of air. There is less than 1% of air on Mars as there is on Earth, and carbon dioxide makes up about 96% of it on Mars. While not ideal, this does present an opportunity to turn that CO2 into oxygen.

A few years ago when the Perseverance Rover landed on the Martian surface, it not only began its main purpose related to sample collection but also creating oxygen. It does this using MOXIE, the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. Just recently, researchers pushed MOXIE to a maximum production level — a factor of two higher than reached earlier.

This was able to produce a substantial amount of oxygen compared to previous tests. With this, the agency is more confident in what the future holds as they continue to develop this technology. Here I will go more in-depth into this new milestone, the MOXIE payload, what to expect in the coming months, and more.

The Mysterious Crop Circles of 2023: The Enigmatic Formation at Allan King Way

As the season of summer sets in, there is more than just the warm sun captivating our attention in the field of Hampshire. June 26th, 2023, a new enigma unfolded on the verdant canvas of Allan King Way, near Owslebury, Hampshire: a crop circle, a phenomenon that has held the world in an eerie suspense for decades.

Imagine walking alongside the feathered path of Allan King Way, officially signed as Featherbed Lane, that is a quiet public way for horses and hikers. As you amble along, you find yourself at a gap in the hedgerow, just 75 yards away from a puzzle that lies etched into the field, one that came to be known as the Owslebury Crop Circle of 2023. You might find the entrance deterrent, thanks to the aromatic greeting of a large pile of organic fertilizer. But with just a little perseverance, the sight that unfolds is worth the olfactory assault.

Once you get past the initial challenge, the experience that awaits you is truly surreal. One visitor recounted feeling the energy that crafted this crop circle, as it stirred his senses, making them tingle and come alive. Despite being located near a road, the crop circle of Owslebury has managed to keep its mystery veiled, easily overlooked by passersby.

• Crop Circles the Enigma (Full Documentary) - YouTube

Resembling an outdoor cathedral, Owslebury instills a sense of sacredness. Its design, detailed yet simple, involves green barley stalks bent carefully into shape, not broken, and still growing towards the sun. It seems as if the artist used a gentle hand, or perhaps an energy of a higher order, to create this intricate design. It’s almost like the circle is a pair of wide open eyes, peering into the mysteries of the cosmos.

It’s crucial to remember the importance of maintaining respect for these crops and the farmer’s land. The seemingly discouraging “greetings” by the farmer is perhaps a nudge towards observing proper crop circle etiquette. We encourage you to stick to the tram lines and not trample the crops.

While we continue to speculate about the formation’s source, the presence of the Owslebury Crop Circle adds another fascinating chapter to the ever-growing saga of the Crop Circles of 2023. As to what the artist was looking at or trying to convey, that remains part of the mysterious allure of these enigmatic formations. Indeed, these crop circles offer more than just unique patterns; they pose intriguing questions, inviting us all to ponder the secrets of our universe.

Navigating the New Horizon: A Deep Dive into the UFO Phenomenon and Disclosure

The increasing international interest in Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), often referred to as UFOs, is sparking an entirely new discourse in scientific, governmental, and public realms. After decades of skepticism, silence, and ridicule, the conversation is changing, with governments, researchers, and civilians now openly exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

The Shift in Perspective

The U.S. government, in particular, is leading this shift. The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a previously undisclosed investigative effort funded by the U.S. government, is now a public revelation, adding credibility to discussions about UAPs. This marks a significant change from the past, where UFO sightings and experiences were often brushed aside or discounted as fabrications. Instead, they are now seen as potentially groundbreaking phenomena deserving of serious scientific scrutiny.

• UFOs - Truth, Lies & Coverup (Session 3) | The Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure

Why Now?

The timing of this change is intriguing. Why is the government now choosing to be more transparent about their studies and experiences with UAPs? Is it simply the pressure of living in the 21st-century information age, where civilian demand for UFO data is escalating? Are governments simply responding to the call for disclosure from the public?

Some believe that this shift is because the U.S. government, along with others around the world, now feels more equipped in terms of technological advancements and research capacities to understand and reveal the secrets of the cosmos. They may have developed deep-space capabilities and technologies to interact with phenomena they previously could not comprehend.

Disclosures: The Global Scenario

France and Britain were ahead of the curve, opening their respective files on UFOs in 2007 and 2008. However, their disclosure was limited to public programs, often revealing little more than public accounts of UFO sightings. Unlike these, the revelations from AATIP give an unprecedented insider’s view into government involvement in UFO research.

A New Narrative

This ongoing dialogue has sparked speculation about a new narrative emerging from the military. Are these disclosures a response to the escalating civilian demand for transparency, or do they point to something more significant? Is this a carefully calibrated strategy to gradually disclose information, controlling the narrative to manage public reaction?

Terms like “Unexplained Aerial Phenomenon” are gradually being used to replace “UFO,” effectively detaching the subject from its history of ridicule and dismissal. This rebranding could be a strategic move to control the conversation around these phenomena.

• Extraordinary: The Revelations (Full Documentary)

Disclosure: The New Reality

If disclosure isn’t about a proverbial ‘spaceship in the hangar’ but about accepting that we have unknown entities in our airspace that we can’t catch or fully comprehend, then we may already be there. We’ve entered an era of “soft disclosure” or “controlled disclosure” where the conversation isn’t about confirming the existence of extraterrestrial life but about managing the realization of its potential existence.

The implications of this shift are enormous. As more experiencers come forward with their encounters and governments release more information about UAPs, we are gradually moving towards a collective acceptance that we may not be alone in the universe.

In the face of potential imminent disclosure, we need to ready ourselves to embrace this new reality. So we ask you: Are you prepared to face the reality that we might not be alone in the cosmos?

The 2023 Crop Circle Phenomenon: An Ethereal Encounter at Hetty Pegler’s Tump Long Barrow

It’s June 24th, 2023, in the heart of Gloucestershire, UK, near the tranquil town of Nympsfield. There’s an unexpected spectacle at the renowned neolithic site of Hetty Pegler’s Tump Long Barrow: a crop circle, intriguingly exquisite in design and tantalizingly mysterious. This crop circle of 2023, often referred to as the “Uley Long Barrow crop circle,” raises many questions, not just in Gloucestershire, but globally.

This phenomenon, a few short miles from the serene Stroud, took on an aura of the mystical at this archaeological treasure. And though it didn’t spring up in the same field as the ‘tump,’ the picturesque cornfield across the road houses our crop circle, an unlikely yet equally captivating location.

The long barrow is worth noting, as it contributes to the overall experience of our crop circle visit. Despite being dubbed as ‘long,’ it’s rather lozenge-shaped from an aerial view. Although restored in the 19th century, it retains a distinctive charm that outshines other famed sites like West Kennett or Belas Knapp.

As you explore this spiritual site, its low entrance channel humbles you, forcing you to your knees. The secluded compartments within the cave-like structure, the serene isolation from the external world, all contribute to a deep sense of reverence. It seems as if the vibrant energy of the crop circle complements the sacred aura of this ancestral space.

The crop circle’s discovery, hidden from the road, was presumably reported by a pilot from the gliding club at Nympsfield. Just 2km away, the club offers a splendid aerial view of this mystifying formation. The crop circle itself, designed with two flattened rings encircling a flattened central circle, is not flashy but beautifully simple.

The mature barley crop gives the circle an alluring golden glow. Yet, the stalks, thinner and shorter than usual, imply a struggle against insufficient moisture, hinting at their fast ripening in the summer heatwave. The edges of the circle, despite looking ragged, showcase an outward swirl pattern, adding to the overall intrigue.

As you stand in the outer ring, the untouched green barley stalks contrast starkly against the mature crop. A few isolated mature stalks, unaffected by the circle-making force, stand tall among the flattened ones, posing another mystery. The entire scene at the crop circle, this 2023 Crop Circles phenomenon, is mystifying, riveting, and remarkably unique.

In the heart of the formation, a bouquet of flowers left by an anonymous admirer pays homage, marking the human fascination with the enigmatic and the extraordinary.

Pentagon Has Clear Image Of Triangle UFO Rising Out Of Ocean, Elizondo Confirmed

The Pentagon reportedly holds a highly classified photograph of a “Black Triangle” UFO emerging from the ocean, taken by a US Navy pilot flying an F/A-18F Super Hornet. The photo’s existence has not been officially confirmed by the Pentagon, but many people believe that it does exist, as they have been told by government insiders. It is thought to be one of the most compelling UFO sightings ever captured on camera and is considered to be highly classified because it was captured using military equipment onboard the fighter plane.

In 2020, during an interview on Coast to Coast AM radio with investigative journalist George Knapp, former AATIP head Luis Elizondo stated that the current UAP Task Force obtained images of multiple unknown aerial objects, including a clear image of a mysterious triangle emerging from the ocean, recorded by military pilots.

The object was described as a large triangle with “blunted” edges and spherical white “lights” on each corner, and the encounter is said to have occurred off the East Coast of the US. The pilots who encountered the object are believed to have been operating from either the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower or the USS John C. Stennis, both of which are Nimitz-class nuclear-powered supercarriers, which further deepens the apparent links between UFOs and man’s nuclear capabilities.

Several officials confirmed the photo’s existence, but they did not provide any further details. The report primarily focused on “Unidentified Submersible Phenomena” or unidentified “transmedium” vehicles that can operate both underwater and in the air. The UAP Task Force appears to be concerned that these objects may originate from within the world’s oceans.

Tom Rogan, a national security writer for the Washington Examiner, verified the existence of the photo with his sources. He believes that the photo is “the tip of the iceberg” and that more UAP imagery and data would be leaked in the coming years. Rogan also called on the Pentagon to officially release more material. (Source)

In 2020, The Debrief reported that the Pentagon was investigating the “transmedium” element of the phenomena, which is the apparent ability of some UAPs to transit seamlessly between the air and the ocean.

The idea of “USOs,” or “unidentified submersible objects,” is not exclusive to the current UAP Task Force. In fact, there have been reports of unexplained, very high-speed sonar targets recorded by some of the most sophisticated listening equipment on the planet. A senior member of the intelligence community, whose responsibilities for decades involved underwater surveillance and reconnaissance programs, acknowledged that there are valid claims of extremely fast-moving underwater objects being detected by U.S. military systems.

The UAP Task Force is particularly interested in “transmedium vehicles,” which may seem unusual, but there have been many accounts, some going back centuries, in which people observed unidentifiable craft operating in and out of the water. In public appearances, Marc D’Antonio, an astronomer and chief video/image analyst for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), shared an unusual experience involving the detection of an underwater “Fast Mover,” which occurred while he was sailing as a civilian aboard one of the U.S. Navy’s prized attack submarines.

• Jacques Vallee On Footage Of UFO Landing At Holloman AFB: Occupant Carried Vertical Staff With Spiral Antenna

Tyler Rogoway, a defense journalist, spoke with several veteran submariners who almost unanimously acknowledged that unexplained, very high-speed sonar targets are indeed recorded by some of the most sophisticated listening equipment on the planet. Although there is skepticism about D’Antonio being granted a civilian ride-along, the Navy vets being interviewed confirmed the validity of such claims. The intelligence official declined to provide further details, citing the high levels of security classification associated with underwater reconnaissance.

Andy McGrillen from UAP Media UK, a team set up to campaign for a more open and serious discussion on UFOs in Britain, told The Sun Online that the triangular object was initially tracked underwater, then emerged, climbing to an altitude of 35-40,000 feet when an aircraft’s onboard systems took a high-fidelity image. He thought that something like this would surely be highly classified given the nature of the equipment taking the picture. However, if it did make its way into the public domain, it could be a key piece of evidence, demonstrating that we are truly in the presence of some other intelligence.

Mystery Wire reported that UFO enthusiast Joe Murgia wrote on his Twitter that Knapp asked Elizondo about an alleged triangle UFO coming out of the water, to which Elizondo responded by saying he was confident the photo exists, and it might even be a still frame from a video. Elizondo and Knapp talked about the need for patience when talking about disclosure and the series of high-level briefings that Elizondo took part in. Elizondo praised Florida Senator Marco Rubio for his willingness to talk about UFOs publicly.

Knapp also asked if the UFO mystery can be solved by just looking at military encounters with UFOs or if we need to expand our horizons and look at other topics like poltergeists and Bigfoot that seem to be connected to close encounter cases. Elizondo said the government programs have limitations, such as an inability to speak with commercial pilots about sightings.

When asked if he would consider ever returning to the government to work on the new Unidentified Aerial Phenomena task force (UAPTF), Elizondo said he would have to clear it with his family first. If he did go back, he would try to run it differently than when he ran the AATIP at the Pentagon. Elizondo said he would push for more openness with the public and work to break down the barriers that stigma about UFOs can cause.

“The problem with it is that the government recognizes it. There are some very authentic UAP images. When people say, “Oh, they’re all grainy and blurry,” no, they’re not. There are some that are really clear and are very authentic because we can look at the date and time stamp and the metadata on the video. We can then correlate that to any other type of assets that may be in the area, and we know where it turns out that we’re picking something up that came across, let’s say, the Pacific Ocean. All of a sudden, someone in San Diego says, “I had this really funny light doing these weird things in the backyard,” and all of a sudden, you realize, “Oh, man, they got it on camera.”

Yeah, there are some very, very compelling ones. There’s one, in particular, I probably can’t talk about it, but there’s one of a triangle, and it’s at night, and it’s not just three points of light. I mean, you can see the skin of the aircraft. You can see a lot, and to the point where some of our folks were like, “Well, should we take it off?” No, don’t take it off the internet. Leave it up. That’s not your video to take down. That’s a private citizen’s. Yes, they got a great video of a UAP. Congratulations. You should probably give them an award. Don’t take the video down”

—Elizondo said during an interview with Calling All Beings.

Leaked emails from John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, may provide new insight into transmedium UFOs. The emails include a conversation between Podesta and a person named Bob Fish, who claims that the federal government has been collecting data on UFOs since the 1970s, using the Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites. (Click here to read the full article)

Fish shared an incident that happened to him in California, where a USAF official who worked on the program told Fish that there were times when they were diverted from these missions to track UFOs off the east coast of Florida. Fish stated that the UAP entered the atmosphere and descended into the Atlantic Ocean, specifically in an area east of Miami, Florida and north of Bermuda.

The US government has knowledge of some UAPs entering Earth’s orbit from deep space and can actively track them via RF signals emanating from these crafts. The officials realized that if this god-like technology were to be obtained and mastered by their adversaries before the United States, it would make democracy vulnerable.

Additionally, for many years, Bob McGwier worked in clandestine intelligence. He disclosed two incidents about underwater UFOs or USOs, that he saw while performing covert operations. This claim was made several months after a video had been made public by the United States military, in which it appeared to show an unidentified flying object moving from the sky into the water in the year 2019. (Click here to read the full article)

The Sun Online produced a mock up of what the incident may have looked like as the F/A-18F came across the "Black Triangle" off the East Coast of the US

"BLACK Triangles" have been a common part of the UFO phenomena since the first wave of sightings back in the 1940s.

As their name suggests, the objects appear floating in the sky as dark triangular shapes often peppered with lights.

Some of the triangles have been described as up to 120 metres long and they appear to move noiselessly without any contrails.

The triangles are part of a host of weird and wonderful UFO shapes - going from saucers, to spheres, to the infamous "Tic Tacs".

David Marler, UFO researcher and author of Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation, told the HISTORY he has up to 17,000 cases files on the phenomena.

He suggested the slow movement of the shapes could suggest "surveillance" or perhaps even scanning the landscape.

And in one of the most stunning encounters, it is reported in March 1990 two F-16 fighter jets in Belgium encountered a "Black Triangle".

It was said the shape accelerated away at 1,120mph within seconds - a manoeuvre that "exceeded the limits of conventional aviation", according to the air force.

British military UFO investigation Project Condign - which ran from 1997 to 2000 - makes mention of the shapes, but dismisses them as similar phenomena to ball lightning.

But if the existence of the Pentagon photo and the accounts of the 2019 East Coast encounter are true - it seems there is more to the triangles than a bizarre atmospheric disturbance.

Some have also speculated sightings of "Black Triangles" could be mis-identification for military aircraft using the flying wing design - such as Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk or B-2 Spirit.

Or the sightings could perhaps be more speculative and experimental craft, such as the rumoured TR-3A Black Manta or the Aurora.

Once again however - this does not explain the potential sighting in the Atlantic allegedly photographed by the US Navy pilot in 2019.

Scientists Just Created Artificial Cells That Evolve Faster Than Natural Ones

Life finds a way, even when not dealt a full hand of genetic cards.

BY MIRIAM FAUZIA

 

The Book of Life — a.k.a. the genome — is pretty darn long. Whether we’re talking about bacteria like Escherichia coli with 4.6 million base pairs or the Australian lungfish punching in at a cool 43 billion base pairs (14 times larger than the human genome), the number of genetic instructions determines the characteristics and function of a living organism.

But do genomes have to be so long? Nature is known to program redundancy to help an organism cope with environmental stress or to offset harmful mutations. What if you stripped down a genome to its barest essential genes — what would happen? Turns out, life would still find a way to survive and thrive, even evolve despite being dealt less than a full hand of genetic cards.

In a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, an Indiana University and J. Craig Venter Institute-led team created a “minimal cell” from a bacterium called Mycoplasma mycoides, containing only about 493 genes, the smallest genome of any known free-living organism. These minimal cells were able to evolve and grow in number, regaining genetic fitness lost when downsizing their genomes.

“It appears there’s something about life that’s really robust,” Jay T. Lennon, the paper’s senior author and a professor of biology at Indiana University Bloomington, said in a press release. “We can simplify it down to just the bare essentials, but that doesn’t stop evolution from going to work.”

Mycoplasma mycoides is a bacterium behind contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, or “lung sickness,” that lives in the guts of ruminants like cows and goats. In 2016, J. Craig Venter Institute researchers pared down M. mycoides’s genome from 901 genes to 493 genes, creating a new synthetic strain of the bacterium dubbed JCVI-syn3B.

In the new study, Lennon and his colleagues wanted to see how the minimal cell would respond when placed in an inhospitable lab environment. They knew the cells could multiply in number, as bacteria are wont to do. But with a streamlined genome, would the minimal cells still need to mutate? If so, would these mutations benefit or hinder the genetically modified bacterium's survivability?

“Every single gene in [M. mycoides JCVI-syn3B’s] genome is essential,” said Lennon. “One could hypothesize that there is no wiggle room for mutations, which could constrain its potential to evolve.”

The researchers found that even with the most skeletal of genomes, M. mycoides demonstrated an exceptionally high mutation rate over the 300 days it was allowed to freely grow in the lab, equivalent to 40,000 years of human evolution.

When placed in test tubes with limited nutritional resources (the inhospitable environment) alongside another strain of minimal cells that weren’t given the 300 days to grow and regular M. mycoides with untampered genomes, the minimal cells came out second place. What appeared to give the minimal cells a survival advantage was having those 300 days, which the scientists found helped the bacterium regain the 50 percent drop in fitness it initially experienced when stripping down its genome. These cells even evolved 39 percent faster than their untampered counterparts.

While the full ins and outs of how these mutations improve the fitness of minimal cells are unclear, the hope is this study and others like it will help us to better understand how to successfully engineer synthetic cells, maybe even usher in an age of synthetic life.

In 1960 the visionary astronomer Frank Drake, who passed away recently, pioneered Project Ozma, a year after the seminal paper by Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison proposed a search for interstellar radio communications produced by any prospective alien intelligence that might be capable of such long-distance correspondence.

Project Ozma was named after the queen in L. Frank Baum’s 1904 book, The Land of Oz, is a place “very far away, difficult to reach, and populated by strange and exotic beings.” Drake’s approach established the methodology of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) methodology, which has focused since then on electromagnetic signals as the primary signature of technology engines. In 2021, the Galileo Project added to it a search for interstellar objects of technological origin.

Identifying signs of all forms of life, based on the composition of the planet’s atmosphere or its appearance as a faint blue dot, is an extremely challenging task that, decades ago, the mainstream of astronomy chose to focus on. From a great interstellar distance, a technological civilization like ours might appear as little more than an engine that converts starlight and nutrients on a rocky planet to intelligent electromagnetic signals and rockets that escape from it.

The products of technological engines might be easier to detect if they existed in sufficient abundance. However, it would be a strategic mistake to focus our telescopes on hard-to-reach fruits at distant tree tops if low-hanging fruit might be available for us to pick that could be much nearer by.

Whereas electromagnetic signals propagate at the speed of light and escape the Milky-Way disk of stars within tens of thousands of years, rockets move at a speed that is ten thousand times smaller and remain gravitationally bound to the Galactic disk. The characteristic space-rocket speed of tens of kilometers per second is an order of magnitude lower than the local escape speed from the Milky Way of five hundred kilometers per second. As a result, chemically-propelled spacecraft would accumulate over time within the Milky-Way disk. Viewed this way, the Galactic disk can be considered as a basket that had been collecting technological “fruits” from Milky-Way planets for billions of years.

Technological objects are split into two categories: space trash and functional devices. The five probes that NASA launched so far towards interstellar space: Voyager 1 & 2, Pioneer 10 & 11, and New Horizons will all become space trash in less than a million years. But in the coming decades, our technological civilization is likely to launch much smaller and more resilient spacecraft, equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D printers, that can repair themselves and last much longer. In fact, self-replicating probes might be the most abundant in interstellar space, as they could multiply exponentially in time by using the raw materials available on habitable planets throughout the galaxy.

If another civilization reached this tipping point of sending self-replicating AI probes billions of years ago, we may be hard-pressed to find the faint electromagnetic signals from its early phase of radio communications as they are billions of light-years away by now. However, we can find their self-replicating probes as they enter the Solar system from interstellar space.

Ten years before Project Ozma, Enrico Fermi asked, “where is everybody?” This was in 1950, whereas just over the past decade, humanity developed survey telescopes and satellites that allow it to detect interstellar objects hardly any bigger than a particle of dust.

The first three known interstellar objects were identified thanks to advances made only within in the last decade. They include the discoveries of the interstellar meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08 in 2014, the interstellar space object `Oumuamua in 2017, and the interstellar comet Borisov in 2019. Among these three, the first two appear to be outliers relative to familiar space rocks within the Solar system.

The interstellar meteor was tougher in material strength than all 272 meteors listed in the CNEOS catalog, rarer than 99.6% of the familiar meteor population. Moreover, it was faster than 95% of all the stars in the vicinity of the Sun. `Oumuamua was inferred to be flat, pushed away from the Sun without a visible cometary tail, and its initial velocity was closer the Local Standard of Rest than 99.8% of all nearby stars. Borisov appeared to be a typical comet.

The fact that two out of the first three interstellar objects appear weird is the reason the Galileo Project team plans an expedition to retrieve fragments from the landing site of the first interstellar meteor. CNEOS 2014-01-08 could be natural but from an astrophysical source never imagined before. For example, X-ray imaging of the Vela supernova remnant revealed bow shocks from bullets flying out of the explosion site. Perhaps CNEOS 2014-01-08 was a bullet tougher than conventional iron meteorites, which was shot out of a supernova explosion.

On the other hand, in case we identify some interstellar objects as technological relics, their inferred abundance will depend on whether they are functional or space trash. In collaboration with my Harvard undergraduate student, Carson Ezell, we calculated that probes targeting the habitable zone of stars would be inferred to be less abundant by 16 orders of magnitude than those on random trajectories, based on the same detection rate near Earth.

During the next decade, humanity could find a functional device from another technological civilization. We might harvest the fruits of technological civilizations as long as we invest similar funds in searching for them as we do in the search for primitive life. One of the rules of dating is that you could find what you are looking for only if you are committed to the search. There are numerous daters who searched in the wrong places, gave up on the search, and fulfilled their own prophecy that they are alone. We should at the very least search our “backyard” in the Solar system for artifacts from our neighbors. Some of these objects may be intelligent, while others will burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Here’s hoping that finding the products of technological engines from afar will inspire us to focus on an ambitious future in space rather than a past entangled with a rock we were born on by chance.

This Michigan Woman Encountered Reptilian Alien Dubbed ‘Mr.’, MUFON Director Investigated

It is true now that UFOs are real, as the Pentagon publicly confirmed it. Moreover, space agencies around the world are looking for aliens and they are serious about it. NASA joined hands in the UFO investigation, which is the big move in the history of UFOlogy. There are accounts where people in authority have claimed that reality is somewhat different from what we see. There are hidden dimensions that could be a gateway for the aliens’ access to our world. The story of Nancy Tremaine has solid witnesses, historic records, and data point to support her claims of lifetime alien interactions.

Nancy Tremaine was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1949. She is the middle of five children and grew up in Novi, Michigan. She is a lifelong experiencer, messenger, and participant in the hybrid project. “Symbiosis” is the true story of Nancy’s lifetime relationship with a Reptilian being, which she dubbed “Mr.” or “Mister with period.”

In 1961, Tremaine and her female friend Cindy, also 12, were stunned when a flying saucer suddenly appeared over their residential neighborhood. The object was “bigger than a house” and hovered close.

Cindy’s father also witnessed the UFO, as well as many others in the neighborhood, including at least three police officers. “Hovering above a tree between our two homes was a silver ship at least the size of our three bedroom ranch home but twice as tall and it had a band of rotating lights of red green and white which were either flashing or rotating they were going so quickly we couldn’t tell no fear just awe it was it was absolutely breathtaking against the blue sky,” Tremaine said.

At one point, the UFO sent down a light beam that zapped an unmarked police car and stopped it cold. Tremaine, who had no clue what was going on, started jumping and yelling at the ship. She remembered that the ship was alive and then snapped, she and Cindy were abducted and taken into the object. The officers radioed the sighting back to their Chief of Police, Lee BeGole, who in his 90s remembered the harrowing reports coming in from his men. He passed away recently.

• Aliens From Andromeda Told US Army Personnel That Humans Are Composite of 22 different E.T. races

Tremaine recalled that the aliens performed a number of highly intrusive physical examinations upon her. Cindy was merely locked up in a “tube” positioned above from where she observed the aliens working over her friend. It seemed that the aliens had a particular interest in Tremaine, but not so much on Cindy.

Both girls were released after some time. A period of missing time then occurred. The next thing Tremaine knew, she was back in her home where her obviously troubled father was doing his best to reassure her that she was safe. He told his shaken daughter that what had just happened was to never be spoken of again — not even a secret whisper to a friend.

Nancy Tremaine and Cindy had been traumatized for 50 years. They tried talking about that evening, but the fear always stopped them. Tremaine visited several therapists to let come out everything she was feeling inside. Even after a new diagnosis and a new medication, she suffered with post-traumatic stress disorder panic attacks, severe anxiety and depression for half a century. And so Cindy.

It was not until 2011 that Tremaine finally got a chance to tell her story. She contacted former Michigan State MUFON director Harry Willnus, a researcher for more than 60 years. She had no memory of the incident, so Dr. Willnus called a regression therapist and she underwent the hypnotic regression. The sessions revealed a lifetime of fantastically freakish events retrieved from her memory. What she had to say under hypnosis was extraordinary and weird.

Former Novi Police Chief Lee BeGole, who spoke to the Novi News last year at age 93, didn’t see the UFO, but he was on duty at the police station the night the incident occurred. BeGole said an off-duty officer told dispatch he saw a strange object overhead, and police dispatch took multiple calls from people who said they also saw a strange object in the sky. If you ask your 10 best friends if they ever had a UFO experience, Willnus said, 10 percent would say, “yes.” “But, people get laughed at once they say that,” Willnus noted. “And then they say, ‘I’m not going to share that again.’”

The most sensational claim by Nancy Tremaine was that she met a reptilian alien back in 1961. Furthermore, she has since developed a deeply loving relationship with a particular reptilian whom she has dubbed “Mr.” He is her friend, teacher, and sometimes lover.

Tremaine said that at the age of 30, she was impregnated by Mr. and from him, she had a son named Drax. Drax is actually a three-way hybrid resulting from a combination of Nancy, her boyfriend (some guy she dated), and the reptilian Mr.

Not only did Nancy Tremaine give birth to a human-reptilian hybrid alien child, but she did it at the age of 62. In her book, she has a picture of her swollen, pregnant belly. She says that the birth of this baby was not natural — it was simply taken from her one night by the aliens. One day, her stomach was showing, the next day it was flat.

There are more such stories, Tremaine told in her book. She also has pictures of an odd set of round footprints in the snow that lead up to her house and appear to enter right into her doorway. Tremaine said these are tracks left by Drax when he came to visit her one night.

The lore of reptilian interference with humans has historical references. In many cultures, there are mentions of serpentines who were gods. The snake who tempted Adam and Eve, for example, is a metaphor for the interference of reptilians in the affairs of humankind.

Reptilian entities have even been glimpsed or perceived by remote viewers including perhaps the greatest of all the U.S. Military remote viewers, Joseph McMoneagle. Possibly, currently, the foremost expert on reptilians today is John Rhode. He prefers the term “reptoids,” which he says is a more accurate description of who and what these beings truly are. His most fundamental claim is that reptoids are not aliens or interdimensional beings but species native to our own planet earth.

Nancy Tremaine’s story may be bizarre and seem unbelievably fantastic, but she is hardly alone concerning the deep relationship she believes she has developed with a reptilian entity. It’s a worldwide phenomenon that exists across cultures in all parts of the globe and has been manifesting in human experience since the beginning of time.

Her story is supported by the highly respected former Novi, Michigan, Chief of Police Lee BeGole who has a street named after him. Her friend Cindy is on record with both seeing the UFO in 1961 and being aboard the craft where she was ensconced in a tube. Other witnesses have come forward as well.

UFO Religions: A Fascinating Interplay of Science, Spirituality, and Extraterrestrial Life

From the dawn of human civilization, we have been fascinated by the enigmatic and elusive mysteries of the cosmos. This fascination has culminated in the emergence of a rather captivating cultural phenomenon known as ‘UFO Religions.’ These spiritual movements draw heavily from the supposed experiences and encounters with Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), blending scientific intrigue, religious faith, and a profound sense of curiosity about extraterrestrial life.

A Historical Glimpse into UFO Religions

The UFO religions phenomenon began to skyrocket during the Cold War era, specifically in the 1950s and 60s. This period saw an increased interest in UFOs, fuelled by anxieties around nuclear annihilation and the space race. The UFO experiences, often described in religious terminology, gave birth to various religious movements. But these did not emerge in a vacuum. They found a significant portion of their philosophical foundation in theosophy, a 19th-century spiritual movement that harmoniously blended Western esotericism and occultism with Eastern spiritual principles found in Hinduism and Buddhism.

One such concept borrowed from theosophy is that of ‘Mahatmas,’ or ‘Masters of Wisdom.’ Helena Blavatsky, a founding figure of theosophy, propagated the idea of spiritually enlightened beings who transcended the regular human condition. Early UFO religions ingeniously adapted this concept to their framework, reimagining Mahatmas as enlightened extraterrestrial beings, often referred to as ‘Cosmic Masters.’

• Uncovering the Craziest Conspiracy Theories: #1 Will Blow Your …

The Blend of Spiritual and Scientific

A shared characteristic among many UFO religions is their unique stance towards religion and science. They consider religious beliefs, experiences, mythologies, and texts as explainable by science and technology. For instance, some UFO believers interpret Ezekiel’s Chariot Vision in the Bible as an encounter with extraterrestrial life. They see the ‘bright cloud’ and ‘flashing fire’ not as supernatural phenomena but as descriptions of energy fields and retro rockets, and the ‘four-faced creatures’ as aliens. While these interpretations often diverge from mainstream scientific views, they underscore a distinctive “physicalist perspective,” a belief that everything is inherently physical or can be explained through science and technology.

Millennialism and Pop Culture: An Intriguing Blend

Another dominant theme in UFO religions is ‘millennialism,’ the belief in a future golden age or mass salvation event, often conjoined with an apocalyptic scenario. For instance, the Aetherius Society, founded by George King, preaches a belief in an impending apocalypse if humanity doesn’t deviate from its self-destructive path. The members consider themselves as ‘builders of the new age,’ envisioning a paradisiacal future brought about by the guiding influence of advanced alien species.

Furthermore, UFO religions creatively mingle elements of pop culture, deriving inspiration from science fiction media such as Star Trek, The X-Files, and Ancient Aliens. This interplay between religious ideology and pop culture further enhances the sacralization of extraterrestrials, the notion that aliens are not just technologically advanced, but ethically and spiritually superior and capable of guiding humanity towards a better future.

The Heaven’s Gate Tragedy and Beyond

Among all UFO religions, the most infamous is undoubtedly Heaven’s Gate, due to the tragic mass suicide of 39 of its members in 1997. The group merged elements of Christianity, new age spirituality, and belief in extraterrestrials, convinced that their salvation lay in traveling aboard a UFO to a celestial realm populated by advanced beings. The arrival of the Hale-Bopp comet was perceived as a divine signal to fulfill their destiny. This tragedy alerted the world to the potential dangers of fringe religious beliefs and served as a grim reminder of the consequences of unchecked fanaticism.

However, Heaven’s Gate doesn’t typify UFO religions. Most of these movements preach a message of peace, unity, and spiritual growth, emphasizing service to humanity. They reflect our timeless quest for understanding our place in the universe and the fundamental human yearning for transcendence and connection to something greater than ourselves.

At their core, UFO religions are less about UFOs or aliens, and more about humanity. They mirror our anxieties, hopes, and dreams in the face of the unknown. They offer their followers a unique worldview where science and spirituality coexist harmoniously, and where our earthly existence is not the be-all and end-all of life.

In the grand scheme of religious studies, these UFO religions invite us to challenge our preconceived notions about mainstream and fringe religions. To comprehend them in a wider context, we must dismantle our biases and embrace a more inclusive understanding of faith, spirituality, and the human need for connection – whether to gods, spirits, ancestors, divine beings, or advanced extraterrestrial life.

The Enigma of Westall: Unraveling Australia’s Grandest UFO Mystery and Claims of a Government Conspiracy

The year was 1966, in a small suburb of Melbourne, Australia, when an event of epic proportions took place, etching itself permanently into the annals of the UFO phenomenon. The infamous Westall UFO incident is one of Australia’s most significant and tantalizing UFO sightings to date, with a narrative so rich it has sparked myriad theories, investigations, and claims of a government cover-up.

On the morning of April 6, 1966, a silvery, saucer-shaped object, about the size of two family cars, descended upon the tranquil suburban landscape of Westall. Over 200 students and teachers at Westall High School and Westall State Primary School became transfixed by an eerie spectacle unfolding before their eyes. The UFO appeared to drop behind a grove of pine trees, seemingly landing, only to take off again shortly after.

Those who witnessed the event recounted the strange object’s unexpected movements. It didn’t behave like a traditional aircraft or a weather balloon; instead, it seemed to defy the laws of physics. The object moved quickly across the horizon, dropped abruptly, stayed stationary for a brief period, and then, in a blink of an eye, ascended straight up into the heavens.

Adding to the mystery, numerous witnesses including Colin Matthews, who was only a child at the time of the incident, reported that the object had a unique silvery color with a hint of a purple hue. It shone brightly, yet it wasn’t overwhelming to look at.

Matthews, like many other witnesses, was later interviewed by officials. But he, along with others, didn’t recall seeing any light aircraft trailing the UFO, contradicting some accounts. Many began to question the official responses to the incident, which further fueled theories of a possible cover-up. The lack of an official report in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) archives, despite numerous accounts of an immediate official presence in the aftermath, only added to the intrigue.

According to UFO researchers and skeptics alike, the varied and conflicting accounts, coupled with the area’s proximity to Moorabbin Airport, suggest the likelihood of an experimental, Earth-based craft. However, others believe the narrative is more intricate and potentially darker than initially thought.

Fast forward to 2014, when nearly five decades after the mysterious event, an explosive revelation began to surface. Newly discovered government documents indicated that the Westall UFO might not have been of extraterrestrial origin at all, but rather a result of a covert government radiation-testing program known as HIBAL.

The HIBAL program, a joint US-Australian initiative, monitored atmospheric radiation levels between 1960 and 1969. Large silver balloons equipped with sensors were released into the sky, and the project was shrouded in secrecy.

Researchers believe that what the witnesses saw that day was a rogue HIBAL balloon, blown off course and forced to land in Westall. Reports of government officials asking witnesses to keep silent and withholding information lent more credibility to this theory. However, there’s a crucial piece missing from this jigsaw. The paperwork for the launches, scheduled for the day before the Westall incident, seemed to have mysteriously disappeared from official records, adding another layer to the intrigue.

Despite the prevailing radiation-testing theory, the true nature of the Westall UFO incident remains clouded in uncertainty, fostering countless debates and investigations over the years. However, the one thing that remains certain is that the event itself has been seared into the collective memory of Westall’s residents and has become a cornerstone in the study of UFO phenomena worldwide.

From a sensational UFO sighting to allegations of a government cover-up, the Westall incident continues to be a tantalizing mystery, a story that still captures imaginations and sparks conversations more than five decades later.

New Moai Statue Found on Chile’s Easter Island Excites Researchers

In the news last October for the damage inflicted by a forest fire over 100 hectares, Easter Island is now in the news again – for the discovery and addition of a new Moai statue on the Chilean island. The discovery was found buried in a dried lake bed, in an area not usually available for access to humans, but now reachable due to climate-change related drying up. It has been described as a “very, very important discovery” for the Rapa Nui people.

New Moai Smaller Than Most: Hiding in Plain Sight

The new Moai is smaller than most of the other sacred monuments found on Easter Island - statues that are important markers of Rapa Nui culture and heritage. The Rapa Nui people carved almost 1,000 Moai statues from tuff, a volcanic rock, between the 13th and 16th centuries. The statues are believed to represent ancestors or important leaders of the community and are arranged in a ring around the island, facing inwards.

“The moai are important because they really represent the history of the Rapa Nui people,” Terry Hunt, professor of archaeology at the University of Arizona, told  ABC. “They were the islanders’ deified ancestors. They’re iconic worldwide, and they really represent the fantastic archaeological heritage of this island.”

The discovery of the new Moai statue has excited researchers, as it is smaller than most others on the island, and had been hidden by tall reeds in the dry lake bed. Archaeologists believe that there may be more statues to uncover, and are looking for evidence of other Moai as well as the tools that might have been used to make them. The discovery of new Moai statues could provide insight into the culture and traditions of the Rapa Nui people.

“They’ve been hidden by the tall reeds that grow in the lake bed, and prospecting with something that can detect what’s under the ground surface may tell us that there are in fact more moai in the lakebed sediments,” Hunt added. “When there’s one moai in the lake, there’s probably more.”

The Moai Statues and the Rapa Nui People

The Moai statues are one of the most recognizable and fascinating features of Easter Island, which is also known as Rapa Nui. The Moai are large, monolithic stone statues that were carved by the Rapa Nui people between the 13th and 16th centuries. They are thought to represent ancestors or important leaders of the community.

The Moai are made from a volcanic rock called tuff, which is found in several quarries on the island. The statues were carved using stone tools and were transported to their final locations on the island using a system of ropes, ramps, and rollers, reports Artnet News .

There are over 800 known Moai on Easter Island, ranging in height from a few feet to over 30 feet tall. The largest Moai weighs over 75 tons, and it is believed that the Rapa Nui people used a combination of levers and ropes to move the statues from the quarries to their final locations.

The Moai were placed on stone platforms called ahu, which were built by the Rapa Nui people. The ahu served as a ceremonial center and were often located near the coast. The Moai were typically placed with their backs to the sea, facing inland, and were arranged in a line along the ahu.

The reason why the Rapa Nui people carved and erected the Moai statues is still a mystery, though it is believed that they may have served as a way to honor ancestors, leaders, or gods. The decline of the Rapa Nui civilization is often associated with the over-exploitation of the island's resources, including the deforestation of the island and the loss of fertile soil, which led to a collapse in the island's agricultural system. The exact cause of the Rapa Nui civilization's decline is still debated among archaeologists and historians.

The Moai statues are vulnerable to damage or attack. For instance, an arsonist set fire to the island last fall, leaving some statues charred and cracked, while in 2020, another was knocked over by a runaway pickup truck .

As a result, there is an ongoing debate about the repatriation of one sculpture, Hoa Hakananai'a, which was taken without permission by the U.K.'s Royal Navy in 1868 and is currently held by the British Museum. In the current political climate, where there are renewed conversations around protecting the heritage of indigenous peoples all over the world, the Rapa Nui people and their cultural heritage hold a vital place in this discourse.

 If humans went extinct, what would the Earth look like one year later?

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if everyone suddenly disappeared? 

What would happen to all our stuff? What would happen to our houses, our schools, our neighborhoods, our cities? Who would feed the dog? Who would cut the grass? Although it’s a common theme in movies, TV shows and books, the end of humanity is still a strange thing to think about.

But as an associate professor of urban design – that is, someone who helps towns and cities plan what their communities will look like – it’s sometimes my job to think about prospects like this.

So much silence

If humans just disappeared from the world, and you could come back to Earth to see what had happened one year later, the first thing you’d notice wouldn’t be with your eyes. 

It would be with your ears. 

The world would be quiet. And you would realize how much noise people make. Our buildings are noisy. Our cars are noisy. Our sky is noisy. All of that noise would stop.

You’d notice the weather. After a year without people, the sky would be bluer, the air clearer. The wind and the rain would scrub clean the surface of the Earth; all the smog and dust that humans make would be gone.

Home sweet home

Imagine that first year, when your house would sit unbothered by anyone. 

Go inside your house – and hope you’re not thirsty, because no water would be in your faucets. Water systems require constant pumping. If no one’s at the public water supply to manage the machines that pump water, then there’s no water.

But the water that was in the pipes when everyone disappeared would still be there when the first winter came – so on the first cold snap, the frigid air would freeze the water in the pipes and burst them. 

There would be no electricity. Power plants would stop working because no one would monitor them and maintain a supply of fuel. So your house would be dark, with no lights, TV, phones or computers. 

Your house would be dusty. Actually, there’s dust in the air all the time, but we don’t notice it because our air conditioning systems and heaters blow air around. And as you move through the rooms in your house, you keep dust on the move too. But once all that stops, the air inside your house would be still and the dust would settle all over.

The grass in your yard would grow – and grow and grow until it got so long and floppy it would stop growing. New weeds would appear, and they would be everywhere. 

Lots of plants that you’ve never seen before would take root in your yard. Every time a tree drops a seed, a little sapling might grow. No one would be there to pull it out or cut it down. 

You’d notice a lot more bugs buzzing around. Remember, people tend to do everything they can to get rid of bugs. They spray the air and the ground with bug spray. They remove bug habitat. They put screens on the windows. And if that doesn’t work, they swat them. 

Without people doing all these things, the bugs would come back. They would have free rein of the world again.

On the street where you live

In your neighborhood, critters would wander around, looking and wondering. 

First the little ones: mice, groundhogs, raccoons, skunks, foxes and beavers. That last one might surprise you, but North America was once rich with beavers. 

Bigger animals would come later – deer, coyotes and the occasional bear. Not in the first year, maybe, but eventually.

With no electric lights, the rhythm of the natural world would return. The only light would be from the Sun, the Moon and the stars. The night critters would feel good they got their dark sky back.

Fires would happen frequently. Lightning might strike a tree or a field and set brush on fire, or hit the houses and buildings. Without people to put them out, those fires would keeping going until they burned themselves out.

Around your city

After just one year, the concrete stuff – roads, highways, bridges and buildings – would look about the same. 

Come back, say, a decade later, and cracks in them would have appeared, with little plants wiggling up through them. This happens because the Earth is constantly moving. With this motion comes pressure, and with this pressure come cracks. Eventually, the roads would crack so much they would look like broken glass, and even trees would grow through them.

Bridges with metal legs would slowly rust. The beams and bolts that hold the bridges up would rust too. But the big concrete bridges, and the interstate highways, also concrete, would last for centuries.

The dams and levees that people have built on the rivers and streams of the world would erode. Farms would fall back to nature. The plants we eat would begin to disappear. Not much corn or potatoes or tomatoes anymore. 

Farm animals would be easy prey for bears, coyotes, wolves and panthers. And pets? The cats would go feral – that is, they would become wild, though many would be preyed upon by larger animals. Most dogs wouldn’t survive, either.

Like ancient Rome

In a thousand years, the world you remember would still be vaguely recognizable. Some things would remain; it would depend on the materials they were made of, the climate they’re in, and just plain luck. An apartment building here, a movie theater there, or a crumbling shopping mall would stand as monuments to a lost civilization. The Roman Empire collapsed more than 1,500 years ago, yet you can see some remnants even today.

If nothing else, humans’ suddenly vanishing from the world would reveal something about the way we treated the Earth. It would also show us that the world we have today can’t survive without us and that we can’t survive if we don’t care for it. To keep it working, civilization – like anything else – requires constant upkeep.

Aliens are helping Western governments develop spacecraft, expert claims

A renowned UFO researcher reveals how aliens contribute to Western governments' spacecraft development and technological progress.

Are there extraterrestrial beings residing on Earth and assisting Western governments in the construction of spacecraft?

UFO expert Paul Ascough seems to think so. He asserts that a race of "gray aliens" arrived during World War II and has been actively involved in the development of flying saucers ever since.

Ascough, an ex-military officer and current member of a British UFO research team, was featured in the Daily Star stating: "There are several authors and investigators who believe that western governments have colluded with the ‘grey’ Aliens to such an extent that advanced technologies have been passed down to them and an ongoing dialogue and cooperation exists even now."

According to Ascough, this partnership has given rise to significant breakthroughs, such as fiber optics, microchips, synthetic fiber kevlar, stealth technology, and even the creation of our own flying saucers. While several writers have covered these topics over the years, and numerous photographs have been taken, including sightings of jet planes escorting UFOs and the frequent occurrence of black helicopters, no government agency has acknowledged these claims.

Ascough asserts: "I believe this collusion between Western governments and the aliens has been going on since WWII. A large part of our progress in the fields of science, engineering and communication has accelerated at a tremendous pace, partly because of this."

In his book, UFOs - The Real Story, Ascough reveals that individuals who encounter these aliens are visited by the real-life "Men in Black." However, he clarifies that these men differ greatly from the portrayal in the 1997 film starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.

Sinister visits haunt UFO experts

"More recently many Ufologists now believe that much of the secret projects have moved to the Dugway Proving Grounds, which is a top-secret facility even more remote than Area 51 and used for Chemical Warfare Training, located south of Salt Lake City it has been dubbed Area 52," he adds.

“Others who have claimed to work in Area 51 and were going to publish information about this have allegedly been silenced by 'Men In Black.'"

“Now unfortunately I am not referring to Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, the benevolent duo from the film of the same name, but a group of men or individuals who appear uninvited on witness’s doorsteps and intimidate them into silence.

“These men in black seem to fall into two groups, the first of which are more observing, it appears that they just need to confirm what the witness had seen, [and] then leave without being too intimidating.

“That can’t be said for the second group who appear to be very intimidating indeed, leaving the innocent observer with the impression that whatever they witnessed, any evidence written or photographed will be destroyed, never to be spoken of again under any circumstances, or dire consequences will follow.

“A common thread of witness’s testimony of visits by the men in black, are that they don’t show ID, don’t actually state which governmental department they work for, can appear very robot-like, may suddenly appear or disappear, talk very little, are very succinct and to the point and can be very, very threatening and intimidating.”

Stanford Prof. & US Navy Vet’s Claims Might Prove Wilson-Davis UFO Memo Is Authentic

For a number of years, the Admiral Wilson UFO document, which previously used to be considered a hoax, has been in the public domain. But as the UFO disclosure pace fastened, the hoax is seemingly turning into an authentic document that author & researcher Richard Dolan called the “UFO leak of the century.” Moreover, to confirm the authenticity of Wilson’s UFO leak, there are two credible personalities: Standford professor Gary Nolan and former manager of Special Projects for Los Alamos Labs, USN Vet, Oke Shannon (his name is mentioned in the document).

Brief Overview of Wilson-Davis Memo

In 2002, after a meeting with former Admiral Thomas R. Wilson, who had been the head of intelligence for the Joint Chiefs back in the 1990s, Dr. Eric Davis, a former Pentagon physicist supposedly took a transcript of the conversation.

Somehow, these documents found their way into the public domain after they were discovered in the files of the now deceased Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell. These 15 pages of notes describe Admiral Wilson’s discovery of a deeply classified program to study extraterrestrial technology.

During this alleged conversation, Admiral Wilson tells Eric Davis about a series of programs that he discovered hidden deep within the black project’s records of the Pentagon that were actively involved in attempts to reverse engineer a recovered craft that they believed could operate in air, sea, space or perhaps even in other dimensions. The program manager concluded that the craft was not man-made.

The claims have been hotly debated among ufologists but never corroborated. The DIA director at the time, Vice Adm. Thomas Wilson has reportedly denied it all. Numerous national security experts and researchers have also dismissed it as a hoax. (Source)

But one of the other primary individuals cited in the document, astrophysicist Eric Davis has not directly addressed it in public, only fueling suspicions that there might be something to it. And Davis alluded to the possibility of some of the claims contained in the alleged memo as recently as last year in an interview in The New York Times.

Key Witness

Jay Anderson, a founder of Project Unity has recently interviewed Oke Shannon, whose name is mentioned in the documents multiple times. Shannon confirmed that “what was said about him in these notes is accurate, further proving that the conversation between Admiral Wilson and Eric Davis did indeed take place, and they really did discuss the reality that a recovered, non-human vehicle, is being studied in extreme secrecy by a shadowy, quasi-governmental working group that is evading standardized oversight, operating outside of the reservation of government control,” wrote Anderson.

Oke Shannon is a US Navy Veteran and a physicist. He was the manager of all Special Projects at Los Alamos National Labs, one of the highest funded and most secretive US Government Research Facilities in the United States.

Below is a transcript of the conversation held between Oke Shannon (OS) and Jay Anderson (JA) discussing the Wilson-Davis Memo: (Source)

JA: I think it’s important that we just get your side of this on the record so I would just like to be able to ask you first of all whether or not you personally know Dr. Eric W Davis.

OS: Yeah! I didn’t work with him day in and day out but I did work with him. I know him fairly well. (Shannon said he got to know Davis through mutual projects and mutual acquaintances.)

JA: Do you personally know Admiral Thomas R Wilson?

OS: Yes I do. Of course, I know of him but I read somewhere that his response was Oke who? and I thought that was kind of funny. I’m sure that my memory of him is stronger than his memory of me because he became a flag officer, and I went off.

JA: Did Admiral Wilson get in contact with you in 2001 or 2002 inquiring into the background and overall trustworthiness of Dr Eric Davis?

OS: Earlier than that. This was in 1999. I got this phone call and it was from Admiral Wilson. He wanted to know was could he trust Eric Davis. I mentioned that YES I believe that Eric Davis was an honorable and conscientious scientist and that he would honor any restrictions the Admiral might put on.

JA: One last question on these notes. I just wanted to kind of get it in a confirmatory statement. So, in these notes that were recovered from Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s estate that are a transcription of an alleged meeting that took place between Admiral Wilson and Dr. Eric Davis. It’s mentioned within the trust a transcript of their conversation that you were difficult to get in touch with at the time you were in poor health due to heart conditions and were not easy to get hold. So this is true in of itself you were struggling with that?

OS: Yeah so it was difficult to get in touch with and I might add to that I’m still difficult to get in touch with.

During 2022 US Congress hearings on UFOs, Rep. Mike Gallagher asked Ronald Moultrie, the top Pentagon intelligence official, and Scott Bray, the deputy director of naval intelligence, whether they were aware of an unverified 2002 document known as the “Wilson-Davis memo.” (Source)

“There’s nothing we can offer or help out with on your request,” a spokesperson for the federal think tank said. As for Moultrie and Bray, they told Gallagher that they were unfamiliar with the Wilson-Davis document. The fact the document was even broached — and then entered into the official hearing record — was shocking to those who have followed the saga.

However, not many would be satisfied with the Pentagon’s response to Rep. Gallagher on the Wilson-Davis leak. There is another expert named Dr. Gary Nolan, a Stanford Professor who claimed that the documents are “genuine.” He told investigative journalist Ross Coulthart that he knows Eric Davis and that he would not lie. “You know Eric is the kind of character that it’s just impossible for him to lie,” Nolan added.

Nolan asserted that the document was ultimately leaked. “Why would Eric Davis lie about writing something that he never intended to go public in the first place? He was just doing what an intelligence agent does on a regular basis which is write reports of what it is that they’ve been doing,” he said.

Davis, who is now a senior project engineer at the government-funded The Aerospace Corporation, worked on the Pentagon’s secret UFO program AATIP. He also said that some of the materials taken from the found UFOs have so far been unidentifiable. “We couldn’t make [the materials] ourselves,” Davis told the Times. (Source)

Additional Background

The following documents were “leaked” or uploaded to IMGUR (an image sharing site) on April 19, 2019. However, they did not start making waves within the UFO community, until sometime in the first week of June 2019.

With no provenance, it is unclear if the documents are legitimate, and even if they are, it is even more unclear if the content outlined within is credible.  Allegedly, they contain the notes of Dr. Eric Davis, Chief Science Officer at EarthTech International, founded by Dr. Hal Puthoff. They outline a 2002 meeting between Dr. Davis, and Admiral Thomas Ray Wilson, former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. During this meeting, many things were discussed including Admiral Wilson stating he was denied access to UFO related information.

It should be noted – this particular story involving Admiral Wilson has been around since at least 2001, nearly two decades ago. It first made an appearance in a lecture by Dr. Steven Greer, given in Portland, Oregon on September 12, 2001. During this speech, according the transcript, Dr. Greer said the following:

“To say that some of these witnesses are terrified is an understatement. You know, I feel like I’ve been the cosmic hand-holder for ten years. I had to go to the Pentagon. I was asked by the head of intelligence for the Joint Staffs, who had an office not far from the section that was blasted yesterday. This admiral, Tom Wilson, who was the J2 position, the head of intelligence Joint Staff and I, met along with one of the Apollo astronauts and a couple of these military witnesses, one of whom has not been recorded because of security reasons–his family were some of the original directors of NACA who saw some of the extraterrestrial bodies brought into Langley way back. He found this out on a deathbed confession from his father. But in this meeting with the Admiral, we [came to a conclusion]based on information I had given the Admiral, which had included some of the code names–you want code names? Project Red Light, Project Looking Glass, Magi Control, Royal Ops, Cosmic Ops. Don’t walk, run to anyone you know who has access and ask them to go into these classified areas and take whatever they can out and hand it to me. We’ll take a walk on the beach, and I’ll take full responsibility for it. I’ve been doing it. I’m a big boy. I’m willing to do it. Nobody has to be identified, because we have concluded the following: None of those projects have legal classification controlling authority. Why? They’ve opted out of the system because they have subverted it. And essentially the head of intelligence Joint Staffs said, “I am horrified that this is true. I have been in plenty of black projects, but when we tried to get into this one,” he was told, and I quote, “Sir, you do not have a need to know.” The head of intelligence Joint Staffs. You don’t have a need to know. Neither did the CIA director, and neither did the President. Who the hell does? Well, a bunch of bureaucrats and corporate and other people who have these projects, and people within the National Reconnaissance Office, NSA, and very compartmentalized islands that are free-standing islands that basically operate as their own sovereign nation. We can prove that they’ve violated the Constitution of the United States. They were operating outside the rule of law, a priori, they cannot hide behind the law by enforcing National Security Act regulations on anything they have. Which means that somebody can haul an entire ET spacecraft out of a place, and I’m asking them to do it, and do it now. We’re ready to roll!”

On July 4, 2008, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, recounted the story during his appearance on CNN’s Larry King Live. The segment is available here:

In August of 2008, investigative journalist Billy Cox contacted Admiral Wilson, who denied many aspects to the rumors. Cox wrote:

“A former high-ranking military intelligence official rumored to have been snubbed in his attempts to obtain sheltered UFO data insists he never even bothered to look for it.

‘Never,’ retired Rear Adm. Thomas R. Wilson replied Tuesday when asked if he’d ever been barred from retrieving classified material, exotic or otherwise, during his career.”

In July of 2019, I interview retired police Lieutenant Tim McMillan. Armed with his experience and research of Special Access Programs (SAPs) for his article published on THE WARZONE, along with his long career as a law enforcement officer, he weighed in on the Admiral Thomas Wilson leaks.

That segment is available below:

The interview above is an excerpt from a longer interview, available here.

In June of 2020, Cox ran another story denying any involvement in the meeting that allegedly took place with Dr. Eric Davis. Cox wrote:

“The admiral at the center of controversial notes describing his inability to access a classified UFO research program says the documents are bogus. Furthermore, he says the alleged author of those notes, physicist Dr. Eric Davis, never interviewed him.”

In July of 2020, I interview Alejandro Rojas. This is the segment on the Wilson/Davis documents:

The interview above is an excerpt from a longer interview, available here.

Official Statements

In the interest of accuracy and not relying on third/fourth hand hearsay, The Black Vault aims to archive official statements (if any) from key players involved or that surround this story. This is a fresh objective, so there are many blanks, however, I am waiting for additional quotes. As they come in, this page will be updated and posted on social media.

Extraordinary Document Reveals Sketch of 1933 Crashed Alien Craft, Shared by Italian Journalist for First Time

In the ongoing investigation into the alleged 1933 UFO crash in Italy, a significant breakthrough has emerged. Italian journalist Roberto Pinotti reveals that he obtained crucial documentary evidence about the incident. Astonishingly, he got these documents from a mysterious source who claimed that they had been inherited from a family member involved in the top-secret program.

Pinotti claimed that the reported UFO crash happened in Magenta, Lombardy, Italy, on April 11, 1933. This event took place 14 years before the well-known Roswell UFO incident in New Mexico. The crash itself revolved around a saucer-shaped object resembling a flying saucer. Its occurrence prompted an inquiry conducted by the “Gabinetto RS/33” (or RS/33 Cabinet), a clandestine intelligence division formed during wartime under the authorization of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

In his book “UFO Contacts In Italy Volume Two,” Pinotti disclosed that the crashed UFO was stored in the hangars of SIAI Marchetti in Vergiate. Mussolini, perceiving the unorthodox aerial craft as a clandestine weapon belonging to France, Britain, or Germany, found it intriguing. Meanwhile, Sen. Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian Royal Academy of Sciences’ leader, purportedly speculated that its origin was extraterrestrial.

Additionally, the former US intelligence officer David Grusch, who provided astonishing insights into secret UFO programs, has given credence to this story. Grusch disclosed that the United States and its allies engaged in covert programs for nearly ninety years, revealing that one of the recovered craft was found in Italy in 1933.

Mr. Grusch plans to testify publicly in the near future, potentially happening soon. Journalist Ross Coulthart acknowledges knowing multiple witnesses and whistleblowers who support Mr. Grusch’s claims. Mr. Grusch has provided evidence under oath to Congress and the Inspector General.

Coulthart also mentions that there are others waiting to observe how Congress treats Mr. Grusch before stepping forward. Simultaneously, an additional interview with Mr. Grusch has surfaced online, revealing previously undisclosed and astonishing details about the UAP topic.

During an interview with NewNation, Coulthart commends US Senator Marco Rubio’s statement, highlighting its bipartisan nature. Senator Gillibrand and Representative Mike Gallagher have also expressed support for holding hearings on the matter. Coulthart believes that certain classified information may be preventing some members of Congress from discussing the issue publicly. He praises NewsNation for giving the story the coverage it deserves and speculates that other media outlets may be hoping the story fails. Coulthart draws a parallel to the Watergate scandal, emphasizing that legitimate stories take time to gain recognition.

Pinotti disclosed in his interview with DailyMail that he received the original secret documents about the case in 1996 from an anonymous source who claimed to have inherited them from a family member involved in Mussolini’s supposed UFO program. The documents included telegrams from June 1933 demanding silence regarding the alleged landing of an unknown aircraft and threatening penalties for journalists reporting on it. The telegrams were said to be by the personal order of Mussolini himself.

Pinotti also mentioned other documents referring to the mysterious government department “Gabinetto RS/33,” supposedly headed by Nobel Prize-winning inventor Guglielmo Marconi, which was responsible for managing the retrieval and study of the alleged saucer wreckage and other UFO incidents. However, the existence of this department and Marconi’s involvement have not been verified by Italian historians or UFO researchers.

• Whitley Strieber’s Alien Abduction & Stranger Who Told Him ‘Mankind Is Trapped

Pinotti claimed that the alleged crash site was near Magenta, a satellite town of Milan, and he identified SIAI Marchetti in Vergiate, an aircraft facility in the area, as the likely site where the supposed wreckage was stored. According to Pinotti, the site miraculously avoided bombing raids during World War II and was secured by US and UK troops in 1945.

Grusch stated that the craft was recovered by agents of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a former US intelligence agency, around this time.

“In 1933, a bell-like craft, around ten meters in size, was recovered in Magenta, northern Italy. It was kept by Mussolini’s government until 1944 when it was recovered by agents of the OSS,” Grusch revealed in his interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien in June 2023.

The authenticity of the documents related to the alleged 1933 UFO crash in Italy has been a subject of debate and skepticism. Pinotti claims to have authenticated some of them through forensic analysis.

According to Pinotti, a forensic expert tested one of the documents dated 1936 and concluded that the paper and ink were from that period. However, it is important to note that this analysis focused on a single document, and the telegrams from 1933 have not been tested.

Skeptics have pointed out that vintage paper and ink from the time could have been used to forge the documents. Furthermore, the lack of protocol numbers or official stamps on the papers raises doubts about their authenticity. Some critics argue that the documents resemble personal memos rather than official government documents.

Pinotti himself, as well as his colleague Alfredo Lissoni, have been advocates for the authenticity of the documents and have conducted research on the alleged 1933 UFO crash in Italy. Additionally, British historian Graeme Rendall, who has written books on WWII UFO sightings, believes the evidence is inconclusive.

Journalist Christopher Sharp of Liberation Times did extensive research on the Italy crash and found that alongside the crashed UFO, two human-like bodies were allegedly recovered at the site in Lombardy, Italy, in 1933. The bodies described by Mr. Sharp sparked intrigue and speculation due to their unusual characteristics and alleged extraterrestrial origin.

Later, the retrieved unknown craft’s information was confided to Pope Pius XII by Mussolini himself, as they had good relations. However, after Mussolini allied with Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, the Pope became uneasy about the craft and leaked it to the US from the Vatican. Post-war, the craft was allegedly brought to the USA, where it supposedly remains today.

Lue Elizondo, a former government official involved in UFO investigations, mentioned seeing “compelling” documents from Mussolini’s office, indicating that some pieces of the Italian craft were transported to the USA after World War II. Speculations suggest that the craft was not a typical unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) with advanced technology, but rather a vehicle powered by jet engines and rockets, resembling the flying wing designs of the Horten brothers. The exact purpose of this technology transfer to the Axis powers remains unclear but is likely linked to gaining a military advantage.

The Brilliance of ‘Pre-diluvian’ Sculpture - Cannot Be Hand Made!

I'm still digesting our recent tour to Egypt; the temple and the pyramids - just the atmosphere of the ancients was a lot to take in. Each time I visit, I’m stunned at the beauty, sophistication, and intelligence of those who left evidence of their time on Earth.

Each Spring, a group of listeners joins me and our guide, Mohamed Ibrahim, for a 12-day tour of ancient Egypt. These visits are unique and feature compelling evidence of a highly sophisticated people who shaped Egypt’s pre and Dynastic periods. This past May, we were introduced to a class of statuary that appeared to reveal clues about these people who settled in Cairo and the surrounding area. We're also learning that the egos of many of the dynastic pharaohs and their “God” status may have overwhelmed their common sense, and in the case of Ramses, Khafre, and others - - buildings, temples, and statuary thought to be commissioned in their time period are actually from earlier people.

Diorite sculpture of Khafre. Egypt Museum, Cairo Egypt.

(Cliff Dunning)

An example of this misinterpretation is a discovery presented by Mr. Ibrahim is a statue identified as  the pharaoh Khafre at the Cairo Museum. Found in the valley temple of his pyramid complex thought to have been commissioned by Khafre, the figure is seated on a throne decorated with the  sema-tawny, a symbol of the unity of Upper and Lower Egypt. Perched on the back of the throne, behind the king's head, the god Horus in the form of a falcon spreads his wings around the head of the individual in a gesture of protection. Khafre is thought to have reigned during the Old Kingdom (c. 2600 BC – c. 2551 BC), which can be confused with a much earlier pre-diluvian period (perhaps 9500 BC or earlier.) Very little is known of the pharaoh, and few other statues remain.

• Scientists to Scan Ancient Pyramids with Cosmic Rays to Find Hidden Chambers and other Secrets
• How the Causeway for the Great Pyramid of Egypt Was Found After Decades of Searching

Historians attribute the sculpture to Khafre based on a cartouche crudely scratched into the base of the seated figure. The cartouche shows none of the craftsmanship or tooling used in the creation of the statue, is poorly cut into the stone, and appears entirely out of place, like graffiti, marring the elegance of the statue. Why was it defaced??? Did the priesthood or an administrator notice a slight resemblance to Khafre, and choosing to gain favor with the pharaoh, mention its uncanny likeness?

One would think it sacrilegious to carve their name on an ancient relic, but here we can look at what writings we have of the dynastic period for a possible reason for defacing the statue. During that period in history, pharaohs were elevated to gods and goddesses allowing them to behave in a manner we might consider disrespectful. In this example, the god Khafre, agreeing with his counsel, has an artist carve his name on the statue.

Wanting to learn more, I found two additional statues and created a comparative view which is telling; each figure has unique and separate features but is not the same man.

The known statues of Khafre - three similar, but different statues.

(Cliff Dunning)

In his seminal book Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt, Christopher Dunn provides a comprehensive look at exquisite and precise statuary created with unknown and highly advanced cutting tools. His primary focus is on the Ramses II statues at Karnak, Egypt. Each is identical and leaves us wondering how the work was achieved. I’ve applied Dunn’s formula to this seated figure, leaving us with remarkable evidence of machining technology.

I took a photo of the face of the statue, cut it down the middle, then flipped it - placing the two sides together. When you compare the original to the manipulated version, you can see they are identical. This means that the face, perhaps the entire body, was cut using some schematic or what may have represented the ideal man.

Left is the original photo, right is the photo cut in half and flipped. The symmetry is remarkable.

(Cliff Dunning)

You can see from the images below and above, that both feet, the shoulders and chest, left to right, are identical and that a human being did not carve the work by hand as is generally proposed, but rather, some sophisticated technology. My conclusion is, this sculpture was made from a highly advanced culture  from an early, unknown epoch.

• Mummy Found Covered in Gold May be Oldest Ever Found in Egypt!

The crude cartouche of Khafre at the base of the statue. Notice the exacting quality of the left and right feet.

(Cliff Dunning)

I’ve often wondered what type of people occupied the earth’s previous epoch, before 9500 BC. Archaeologists tell us that our ancestors were hunters and gatherers, primitive hominids of limited intelligence and means. But I think a great deal of evidence is confusing because we have little documentation for places like Atlantis, Doggerland, and other cultures that were swallowed by the seas when the ice caps melted. The dynastic Egyptians were left with the ruined cities and statues as evidence of these early people, and because there were no records of their existence, much of the culture was absorbed, sanctified, and resurrected (copied as a form of devotion.) It’s likely, the gods known to us as Isis, Osiris, Ra, Amon, Hathor, and others were once living human beings immortalized in stone by the survivors of the planetary deluge. I believe this statue represents these early people.

This wonderful statue is another key to understanding our past.
