UFO Whistleblower: U.S. recovered nonhuman biological pilots from crashed UFOs
UFO Whistleblower: U.S. recovered nonhuman biological pilots from crashed UFOs
During the congressional hearing Wednesday, David Grusch, a former high-ranking intelligence official, who is one of three military whistleblowers testified under oath, asserted that the US government has had possession of UFOs since as early as the 1930s.
He also disclosed that these highly advanced crafts have been subject to covert back-engineering efforts, aiming to unlock their remarkable capabilities. He further claimed that the government has actively engaged in a disinformation campaign to conceal these classified activities and prevent any public leaks of sensitive information.
Grush also stated that several members of Congress possessing top-secret clearances have reportedly been denied access to military bases containing information related to UAP/UFOs and he suggested that people have been harmed and murdered by the US government as part of the conspiracy to keep UFOs a secret.
He goes on to say that certain military industrial complex companies may be inflating costs for government projects and weapons as a means to generate additional funds for secretive black budget projects including the engineering of their own UAPs/UFOs.
And perhaps the most significant statement from Grush is that he had interviewed government officials who had direct knowledge of UAPs/UFOs with "nonhuman" origins, and that these so-called "biologics" (pilots) were recovered from some crashed UAPs/UFOs.
In the video below Grush talks and confirms that U.S. recovered nonhuman biological pilots from crashed UFOs.
Japanese Government Discloses Hidden UFO Encounters
Japanese Government Discloses Hidden UFO Encounters
In an era that often seems defined by the unveiling of concealed truths, few revelations have been as captivating as the global recognition of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, more commonly referred to as UFOs. As several governments worldwide have gradually begun to disclose previously classified information, an intriguing pattern has begun to emerge, challenging both our understanding of aviation and our place in the cosmos. This article explores this fascinating issue, shining a light on a topic that was once dismissed but is now increasingly commanding international attention.
For decades, the existence of UFOs was largely dismissed by officials in many countries, including the United States. The official stance was one of denial or, at the very least, calculated silence. However, a significant shift occurred in 2017 when the U.S. officially acknowledged its investigations into UAPs. This admission signaled a landmark change in the global discussion surrounding UFOs.
Interestingly, not all nations trailed behind the United States. Some had been diligently studying the skies long before the U.S. disclosure. In South America, for instance, Chile has been at the forefront of UAP research. As far back as 1997, the Chilean government created the Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena. The Committee is tasked with examining all reports of UAP activity, whether they come from commercial, military, or civilian sources. In 2014, the Chilean naval officers captured video of an unidentifiable aerial object, indicating the scope and intensity of UAP activity in the region.
Other South American countries, such as Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia, also possess rich histories of UFO encounters and extraterrestrial theories that are interwoven into their cultural heritage. This cultural acceptance, coupled with a more open-minded approach, has allowed these countries to delve deeper into the study of UAPs, often with less societal resistance than in other parts of the world.
Japan offers a contrasting narrative to the South American experience. The Asian nation long denied the existence of UFOs, even making an official statement to that effect in 2018. However, this posture changed in 2020 when Japan’s Defense Minister, Taro Kono, instructed the Japanese self-defense forces to visually record any encounters with unexplained crafts.

This shift in Japanese policy appears to have been triggered by a meeting with U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper, highlighting the increasing global cooperation on UFO investigations. Ancient astronaut theorists and researchers view this shift in policy as significant evidence that governments worldwide are now acknowledging the potential reality of objects in our skies that may not originate from our planet.
The rapidly evolving narrative of UAPs and global recognition of their existence has opened a new chapter in our understanding of the universe. The issue of UFOs, once confined to the realms of science fiction and conspiracy theory, is now becoming an accepted area of investigation and discussion among world governments.
The current landscape signals a new era of transparency and investigation that seeks to explore the unexplained phenomena in our skies. As governments worldwide continue their research and share findings, we can only expect this topic to become more central in our conversations about aviation, defense, and perhaps even our existence. Whether this leads to earth-shattering discoveries or simply a more nuanced understanding of atmospheric phenomena, only time will tell. The sky, as it seems, is no longer the limit.
In the labyrinth of Cold War espionage, a veil of secrecy shrouded the unexplained aerial phenomena that played out in the skies above the Soviet Union. While the arms race and political tensions between East and West dominated global headlines, an equally compelling mystery was unfolding in the stratosphere. The stories of strange, unidentified flying objects (UFOs) began trickling into the public sphere, gaining credibility through the testimonies of seasoned pilots, military officials, and civilians.
The Soviet Union’s clandestine relationship with UFOs dates back to the height of the Cold War. The infamous “Baku Incident” in 1967 remains one of the most chilling accounts, where two Soviet fighter jets were tasked to investigate an unidentified craft moving at a colossal speed over Baku, the capital of then Soviet Azerbaijan. As the jets tried to engage, the unknown object reportedly shone a bright beam, causing a blinding effect in the cockpit. After returning to base, one pilot’s health rapidly deteriorated, while the other died within a few months from cancer, purportedly a direct result of the encounter.
Despite the Soviet Union’s profound secrecy, tales of such interactions with otherworldly crafts continued to emerge. Outside the city of Omsk, hundreds of eyewitnesses, including Major V. Loginov, reported a gleaming sphere, larger than the full moon, casting luminous beams of light over a civilian airport. In another incident, a UFO hovering above a nuclear facility in Usovoin, Ukraine, allegedly activated the launch panels of stored nuclear weapons, raising the specter of an inadvertent nuclear war.
While it’s true that some UFO sightings could be attributed to secretive American aircraft or misinterpretations of natural or man-made phenomena, a significant percentage of sightings couldn’t be dismissed easily. At the time, estimates suggested about 5% of these sightings were unexplainable, mirroring the findings of American investigations.
As the frequency of these sightings escalated during the 1970s and 1980s, a conference of 100 Soviet scientists from various disciplines convened to scrutinize the UFO phenomenon. A startling result was a consensus that the UFO sightings were not just figments of mass imagination but demanded dedicated scientific examination. Thus, the “Network,” a top-secret, government-backed investigation to understand the UFO enigma, was established.

Soviet Union Declassified UFO Encounters Revealed
This collaboration between the Soviet Union’s elite scientific minds and the Defense Ministry analyzed thousands of UFO reports. While they debunked the majority, around 300 sightings remained inexplicable, similar to the results of the U.S. Air Force’s Project Blue Book effort.
One of the most notorious UFO sightings, dubbed the “Petrozavodsk phenomenon,” occurred in 1977 when residents of Petrozavodsk reported a bright light casting beams onto the city. The object was described as a dazzling jellyfish, morphing into a radiant semicircle before soaring away. However, some researchers suggest that this was a case of mistaken identity as a nearby secret cosmodrome had launched an object minutes before the sighting.
Despite these potential misidentifications, it’s essential to note the striking parallels between UFO sightings in the Soviet Union and the United States. This symmetry, independent of geographical boundaries and cultural differences, points to the possibility that these events might not just be earthly anomalies but could represent interactions with unknown entities, natural phenomena, or advanced technology.
The Soviet Union’s UFO legacy continues to intrigue us, casting long shadows into the present day. As the world grapples with the ongoing mysteries of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), understanding these historical episodes may offer invaluable insights into the enigma that has captivated mankind’s imagination for generations.
UFO over Slovenia? The pilot reported ‘bright lights bouncing across the sky’ – we have an audio recording of the conversation between the TUI Airways pilot and the controller
UFO over Slovenia? The pilot reported ‘bright lights bouncing across the sky’ – we have an audio recording of the conversation between the TUI Airways pilot and the controller
In a remarkable account recently published on Slovenia’s most frequented news portal, 24ur.com, a TUI Airways pilot reported an unusual spectacle while traversing the Slovenian airspace. This incident throws light on the myriad mysteries our skies still hold and sparks intrigue about the unknown.
The story unfolded on a regular Saturday when a TUI Airways aircraft took off from East Midlands Airport in the UK around 15.45, headed for a tranquil evening landing on the Greek island of Rhodes around 21.12. However, the routine voyage soon took a captivating turn as the aircraft was flying over Slovenia.
Flight Path from the UK to Greece, with Slovenia Highlighted in Red
Without a hint of the impending spectacle, the pilot observed peculiar lights before him and promptly reached out to air traffic control. The ensuing dialogue between the two has been a topic of intense discussion ever since. The pilot asked if there was a military aircraft flying approximately 40 to 50 miles away in a specific direction. The controller, however, couldn’t confirm any military traffic in the area.
Undeterred by the lack of a conclusive answer, the pilot revealed the reason for his inquiry: an intense light was shining towards them, which then disappeared, began to flash, moved erratically across the sky, and resumed its steady glow. This exchange stirred a sense of wonder and curiosity, turning an otherwise regular flight into an event of inexplicable mystery.
This tale is just one of many that remind us of the intriguing enigmas that may lie within our very own skies. Whether these lights were from an unknown aircraft, a celestial phenomenon, or something else entirely remains an open question, further deepening the intrigue of this account.
As we look forward to more reports from pilots or sky-watchers, we’re reminded that the sky is not just a frontier for travel, but also a source of endless fascination, holding stories waiting to be discovered and shared.

UFO Encounter at Ariel School: The Day Aliens Shocked the Students with Telepathy
UFO Encounter at Ariel School: The Day Aliens Shocked the Students with Telepathy
In the annals of unexplained phenomena and UFO encounters, the Ariel School sighting on September 16, 1994, holds a unique place. On this day, a group of 62 school children aged between 6 and 12 claimed to have witnessed a UFO and its alien occupants in the school playground in Ruwa, Zimbabwe.
The Ariel School Phenomenon: Evidence and Eyewitness Accounts
The Ariel School UFO incident stands out due to the sheer number of witnesses. The children described the craft as a large, silver, saucer-shaped object. They also reported seeing small humanoid figures with large, black eyes who communicated telepathic messages warning of environmental degradation.
There were no adults who witnessed the event, but the children’s accounts were notably consistent, even under separate questioning. The detailed drawings of the craft and the figures they produced further lend credibility to their accounts. Additionally, there were reports of physical traces at the landing site, although no definitive conclusions were made due to the lack of scientific investigation at the time.
The Impact on the Community and Perception of UFO Phenomena
The Ariel School sighting had a profound impact on the local community and the wider society’s perception of UFO phenomena. Initial reactions ranged from disbelief to fear, with some parents questioning the influence of television. However, over time, as the children consistently stuck to their stories, even into adulthood, the skepticism gave way to curiosity and open-mindedness about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
The Evolution of the Children’s Narratives and Explanations for the Ariel School Sighting
While the core of the children’s narratives has remained remarkably consistent over time, some elements have evolved or become embellished in the retelling, often reflecting their individual processing of the experience. There is also a debate among experts on whether the children’s accounts were influenced by each other or external factors such as media.
Psychological explanations such as mass hysteria or shared hallucinations have been suggested. However, these theories struggle to account for the consistency of the children’s detailed descriptions. Sociological explanations point to a shared cultural or societal belief in extraterrestrial beings.

The Why Files – The UFO Incident That Shocked Ariel School: Telepathic Extraterrestrials
The Scientific Community’s Approach to the Ariel School UFO Incident
The incident prompted serious investigation by notable figures in the field, such as Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack. Despite the risk to his reputation, Dr. Mack conducted extensive interviews with the child witnesses and concluded their accounts were not confabulations or fantasies, but genuine experiences.
The Ariel School sighting contributed to the growing body of evidence that compelled the scientific community to consider the UFO phenomena more seriously. Yet, it also highlighted the difficulties and complexities of investigating such phenomena, from securing physical evidence to overcoming societal stigma.
The Implications for Our Understanding of UFOs and Extraterrestrial Life
The Ariel School Phenomenon presents a compelling case for the existence of UFOs and potentially, extraterrestrial life. The credibility of the child witnesses, the consistency of their accounts, and the lack of any apparent motive for fabrication make this incident one of the most compelling UFO cases in history.
This incident has also sparked discussions about the possibility of extraterrestrial life and its implications for humanity. The message of environmental concern reportedly communicated by the alien figures, whether real or interpreted, underscores the universal relevance of such issues.
The Ariel School UFO sighting remains an enigma that challenges our understanding of reality and forces us to question our place in the universe. Regardless of one’s stance on the existence of UFOs or extraterrestrial life, this incident undoubtedly serves as a reminder of the vast mysteries that our universe still holds.
Eckhart’s Ladder Deciphers Grusch’s Testimony: Has the U.S. Just Acknowledged the Existence of Extraterrestrial Life?
Eckhart’s Ladder Deciphers Grusch’s Testimony: Has the U.S. Just Acknowledged the Existence of Extraterrestrial Life?
The UFO phenomenon, a subject of intense fascination and debate for decades, has recently moved from the margins of serious discussion to a more mainstream platform – the Congress of the United States. Sparking this shift was the extraordinary testimony of a whistleblower who brought fresh insights into the mysterious world of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).
Unveiling the Unknown: The Whistleblower’s Testimony
The whistleblower in question, David Grush, a former intelligence officer, presented an intriguing narrative about his time in service. Grush pointed to secretive projects, concealed behind the walls of classified programs, that involve not just the observation of these enigmatic UAPs but also their reverse-engineering.
His testimony was, however, marked by a lack of direct evidence. It hinged largely on his personal experiences and his ‘trust me’ approach. Grush hinted at knowing the locations of these extraterrestrial crafts, and even claimed to have seen pictures of them, yet he stopped short of providing concrete evidence to back his claims.
Senatorial Steps: Push for Transparency
Reacting to Grush’s revelations, Senators are now making a concerted effort to peel back layers of governmental secrecy. They seek to enforce the release of classified UAP records, providing a roadmap for further investigation into the claims made during the hearing. The focus isn’t only on extraterrestrial life, but also on alleged misappropriation of funds and sidestepping of legal frameworks related to these hidden programs.
Exploring the Enigma: What Do We Know About UFOs?
Despite the speculative nature of Grush’s testimony, it does shine a light on our existing understanding of UFOs. The UFO phenomenon, reported for nearly a century, is marked by strange occurrences that defy easy explanation. Videos released by the Pentagon, including the ones leaked in 2017 and officially released in 2020, show aerial crafts performing maneuvers that seem to go beyond human capabilities.
These sightings have often led to two popular interpretations: either these are terrestrial technologies beyond our current comprehension or they are products of alien civilizations. The former requires us to accept the existence of radically advanced technology unknown to the public, while the latter requires the acceptance of extraterrestrial life and their ability to reach Earth.
While the recent UAP hearing may not have shifted the scales decisively in favor of either camp, it certainly reiterates the compelling intrigue that UFOs have always held. For believers, skeptics, and everyone in between, the testimony offered food for thought and a possible path for further investigation. As we explore this path, we must remember that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
In this quest for understanding, one must tread with both an open mind and healthy skepticism, balancing our natural curiosity with the necessity for empirical evidence. Despite our differences in belief, the idea of unifying behind the discovery of extraterrestrial life is undeniably exciting. Yet, whether we’re on the brink of such a momentous discovery or simply unraveling new terrestrial technologies, the journey of disclosure continues. And in this journey, may the force be with us all.

UFO Hearing: US Govt Holds Non-Human Bodies and UFOs, Ex-Intelligence Official Reveals
Ex-Intelligence Official David Grusch at UFO hearings
In a groundbreaking Congressional hearing that reads like a page from a science fiction novel, startling revelations were made by former American intelligence official David Grusch, who put forth a compelling narrative about the existence of non-human entities and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs. In a world grappling with the boundaries of known science and technology, these revelations raise eyebrows and a slew of questions about our understanding of the universe and our place in it.

What to know from congressional UFO hearing | NewsNation Now
David Grusch, a man with a deep history within the US intelligence community, served as a member of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force from 2019 to 2021, and was responsible for investigating unexplained anomalous phenomena within the Department of Defense until 2023. In the hearing that unfolded in July 2023, he unveiled some unsettling facts, claiming that the US government ran a “multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program.”
Grusch, under oath, affirmed he had been informed of the existence of such a program but had been denied access to it, prompting him to file a whistleblower complaint. This complaint laid the foundtion for the Congressional hearing that has since ignited global discussions on the possibility of advanced extraterrestrial technology in possession of the US government and a potential cover-up.
During the hearing, Grusch confirmed his awareness of “programs in the advanced tech space that are unsanctioned.” These programs, according to him, exist outside of the traditional boundaries of congressional oversight. When queried about the imagery of crash sites of crafts of unknown origin, he refrained from commenting in an open, unclassified setting, thereby deepening the mystery surrounding the issue.
In an astonishing revelation, Grusch alleged that the US government is in possession of non-human spacecraft, directly challenging the statements made by Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO. His audacious claim, “It’s not accurate,” rattled the attendees and set the stage for further probing.

UFO whistleblower says U.S. recovered nonhuman “biologics” from crash sites
When pressed about his assertions that the government was holding alien bodies or alien species, Grusch made it clear that, while he personally hadn’t witnessed the entities, he confidently affirmed that non-human “biologics” were retrieved during the UAP crash recoveries. This stunning disclosure was based on his interactions with people with direct knowledge of the program.
The Congressional hearing went beyond the question of extraterrestrial existence. Witnesses stated the possibility that UAP might be interested in America’s nuclear capabilities, probing for weaknesses in U.S. air defense systems, or conducting reconnaissance in American airspace. The concern for national security was voiced by the retired Navy Commander David Fravor, who said the technology they encountered was far superior to anything the US had, confirming UAPs pose a potential threat.
However, this revelation did not go unchallenged. The Pentagon denied Grusch’s accusations, stating that there’s no verifiable evidence supporting the existence of programs related to extraterrestrial materials. Yet, Grusch’s credibility was backed by other witnesses who shared their encounters with UAPs, contributing to a growing chorus demanding more transparency from the government.
The hearing was also not without its skeptics who pointed out previous accusations of government cover-ups regarding UFOs that ultimately lacked substantial evidence. Despite this skepticism, Grusch’s allegations ignited a renewed public interest in the enigma of extraterrestrial existence and UFOs.
At the crux of this revelation lies the quest for truth and government accountability. While these assertions certainly create an atmosphere of intrigue and speculation, they also underscore the importance of transparency and the public’s right to know. As our understanding of the universe expands, the possibility of life beyond our earthly confines is increasingly compelling, and in this context, these revelations represent a substantial leap forward in the pursuit of truth and knowledge about the cosmos we inhabit.

The Intriguing Mystery of UFO Sightings: An Unforgettable Encounter in Turkey
The Intriguing Mystery of UFO Sightings: An Unforgettable Encounter in Turkey
Are you an avid follower of UFO sightings, constantly questioning the mysterious phenomena in the night sky? Then, brace yourself as we delve into one of the most compelling instances of unexplained aerial occurrences from Turkey – a nation that for millennia, has been a nexus for different cultures and now, possibly, a rendezvous point for interstellar meetings.
In the early morning hours of May 13, 2009, Yulchin Yalman, a night owl from the suburbs of Istanbul, noticed something peculiar hovering above the Sea of Marmara. This was not his first time capturing such incidents, but this time, the encounter was so remarkable that it left the entire UFO community abuzz.
Turkey’s Enigmatic Visitor
The sighting consisted of a silent, saucer-shaped craft hovering approximately a mile away and 500 feet above the sea. What really captured the attention of UFO enthusiasts, however, was the supposed glimpse inside the cockpit of the craft. Yalman claimed that what looked like two extraterrestrial beings could be seen at the helm of the unworldly vessel. It wasn’t just a mere UFO sighting; it was an alleged first-hand account of alien life!
Unfolding the UFO Mystery
Despite Turkey’s long history of skyward anomalies, including a molten silver object witnessed by Greek and Roman armies in 74 BC, the 2009 incident holds a unique position. The Turkish government has given it serious consideration, declaring the sighting as genuine and unaffiliated with any military programs.
When it comes to UFO sightings, analysis is crucial. Forensic video investigator Michael Primo noted that there was no evidence to suggest the footage was manipulated, but could not confirm the presence of extraterrestrial life. Other experts, like astronomer and video effects designer Mark D’Antonio, doubted the possibility of seeing entities inside the craft due to the limitations of 2009 camera technology.
One aviation expert even suggested the sighting could be an optical illusion caused by fishing vessels on the horizon, known as a “Fata Morgana.” But this theory was met with skepticism, as the phenomena typically occur lower on the horizon than where Yalman’s camera was pointed.

The Proof Is Out There: UFO in Turkey Takes Witnesses by SURPRISE (Season 3)
The consensus? This UFO sighting from Turkey is indeed a genuine unknown. While experts agree the figures seen inside the craft are likely not alien pilots, the object itself remains unidentifiable. Until we gather more definitive evidence, the 2009 UFO sighting over the Sea of Marmara will continue to perplex and intrigue us.
In conclusion, the increasing number of UFO sightings worldwide only adds to our curiosity about what lies beyond our atmosphere. As we delve deeper into the age of space exploration, the story of Yulchin Yalman and his intriguing UFO sighting reminds us that sometimes, the answers might just be looking down on us from the night sky.
Whether you’re a UFO enthusiast or a casual observer, keep your eyes on the sky – the next big sighting might just be around the corner!
On July 26, 2023, US Congress is holding a UFO hearing that will be attended by three highly credible witnesses addressing the entire world. On this historic day, confirmed whistleblowers David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves might reveal never disclosed information about UAPs irrespective of what they said before.
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer firmly believes that the US government has been concealing evidence of UFOs and indications of non-human intelligence. On July 13, alongside a bipartisan group of senators, he introduced legislation aimed at addressing these concerns and promoting transparency. The legislation defines “non-human intelligence” as any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform, regardless of its nature or origin, which may be linked to UFOs.
“I’m pleased the NDAA will include my amendment on increasing transparency on UAPs or unidentified anomalous phenomena. UAPs generate a lot of curiosity for many Americans, and with that curiosity sometimes comes misinformation,” Senator Schumer asserted.
Schumer stated: “For decades, many Americans have been fascinated by objects mysterious and unexplained, and it’s long past time they get some answers. The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena.”
The essence of the amendment is to require the National Archive and Records Administration to compile records from various government agencies pertaining to UAPs and make them accessible to the public through declassification, adopting a similar approach used in 1992 with the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act.
“These records will carry a presumption of immediate disclosure, which means they can only remain classified with good reason,” Senator Schumer explained, emphasizing the importance of providing the public with access to the information, while ensuring that legitimate national security concerns are still addressed.
Senator Schumer also expressed gratitude to his colleagues, Senators Rounds, Rubio, Heinrich, Gillibrand, and Young, for their cooperation and partnership in working on this legislation. Additionally, he fondly remembered his mentor and late friend Harry Reid, who was also passionate about the issue of UAPs, along with Senators Stevens and Inoue.
Chuck Schumer highlighted the significance of the four key additions to the defense bill, including outcompeting the Chinese government, advancements in artificial intelligence, and the disclosure of information on UAP phenomena in an unclassified manner. These are crucial elements that Senator Schumer believes will strengthen the NDAA.
“I look forward to beginning floor consideration of the NDA bill today,” Schumer said, expressing his anticipation for the bill’s progress. He extended his appreciation to both sides for their collaborative efforts and urged for the passage of this important bill without unnecessary delay or controversy.
_
The proposal comes in the wake of whistleblower David Grusch’s claims that the government has been operating a secret UFO retrieval program. Grusch, an Air Force veteran who worked for the UAP task force, claimed that the government, its allies, and defense contractors have been recovering partial fragments and intact vehicles related to these phenomena for decades.
According to Mr. Grusch, analysis of these objects has revealed their “exotic origin” and suggests the presence of non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or of unknown origin. This determination is based on vehicle morphologies, material science testing, unique atomic arrangements, and radiological signatures.
In response to Grusch’s claims, Senators Marco Rubio and Josh Hawley have both indicated that there might be validity to the idea of a cover-up, based on other testimonies they have heard. Rubio, along with fellow Republican senators Mike Rounds and Todd Young, has expressed support for Senate Schumer’s bill on increasing transparency regarding UAPs. Additionally, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Martin Heinrich have also voiced their backing for the proposed legislation.
Note:
The House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs will hold the public hearing at 10:00 am ET (14 UTC). (Link)
About Whistleblowers
1. David Grusch is a former UAP Task Force member and US Air Force veteran. He claims: “UFOs exist. The U.S. government found quite a number of them, and they are indeed of non-human origin.” Mr. Grusch’s assertions are supported by his insider knowledge as a former member of the U.S. government’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena task force and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. (Click here to read the full article)
During an interview with journalist Ross Coulthart, Mr. Grusch spoke about the potential cover-up and disinformation campaign surrounding UFOs. He claimed: “There’s a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace, which is extremely unethical and immoral.” Mr. Grusch emphasized the significance of his revelations, stating, “I am for real, and I’m sitting here at great personal risk and obvious professional risk by talking to you today.”
“Do we have bodies? Do we have species?” Coulthart asked. “Well, naturally when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed, sometimes you encounter dead pilots.” “And believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true,” Mr. Grusch replied.
According to the French paper le Parisien, Grusch states that the United States and its allies have been involved in secret programs for almost ninety years and reveals that one of the recovered craft was found in Italy in 1933. This UFO crash incident is said to have happened when Italy was under the rule of Fascist Benito Mussolini.
2. Ryan Graves is a former Lt. U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot, who was the first active duty pilot to come forward publicly about regular sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP). He currently serves as the first Chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Community of Interest (UAPCOI), representing more than 30,000 members of the aerospace industry concerned with improving aviation safety. (Click here to read the full article)
While speaking about his UFO experience, Lt. Graves told 60 Minutes that he often detected UAP on his F-18’s instruments, and pilots see them every single day off the Atlantic coast. He said UFOs should not be dismissed as a ridiculous conspiracy theory but rather as a very genuine threat to national security. He first saw a UFO in restricted airspace near Virginia Beach in 2014, and the object showed up on his radar and infrared targeting cameras. Furthermore, he said UAPs would sometimes fly right between aircraft flying in formation.
He says the sightings have happened “every day for at least a couple years” and has three explanations: top-secret U.S. technology, foreign spying devices, or something not from this planet. “The highest probability is it’s a threat-observation program,” said the pilot, adding: “If these were tactical jets from another country that were hangin’ out up there, it would be a massive issue. But because it looks slightly different, we’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.”
3. The UFO sighting involving Commander David Fravor took place in 2004 off the coast of California during an F-18 Super Hornet training exercise. The incident began when Fravor and another pilot noticed an unusual radar blip about 80 miles off the coast. As they approached the location, they saw a strange object described as a “white tic-tac” or a “giant propane tank.” The object was about 50 feet above the water and exhibited highly unusual flight characteristics, moving rapidly in all directions like a ping pong ball.
Fravor decided to investigate further and descended towards the object, while the other pilot stayed at a higher altitude. As Fravor closed in on the object, it suddenly accelerated and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving the pilots astonished. The object’s rapid and mysterious disappearance baffled Fravor and his team, leaving them with no plausible explanation for what they had witnessed.
After returning to the carrier, Fravor’s team reported the incident, and the information eventually made its way to the Pentagon, where it crossed the desk of Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). AATIP was an investigative body that examined Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs.
The Pentagon declassified three videos related to the incident in 2020, known as the Tic Tac video and two others filmed on the East Coast in January 2015. These videos and similar disclosures from other countries raised questions about the nature of these unidentified objects in our airspace. Both the US and other governments admitted to encountering UAPs that exhibited flight capabilities far beyond our current technological breakthrough. (Source)
In 1948, Dutch geophysicist Felix Andries Vening Meinesz was sailing the planet on a gravity survey when he discovered an anomaly in the Indian Ocean. It was a circular depression in the ocean floor that begins to dip near India’s southern tip and extends 1.2 million square miles. This depression, known as the Indian Ocean geoid low, has baffled scientists since its discovery.
However, a notable finding could explain this geoid low’s existence. Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru used computer models to determine that plumes of molten rock from deep within Earth may have formed it. They published their findings in the journal Geophysical Research Letters in May.
At the geoid low’s lowest point, where sea level plunges over 328 feet, is a gravity hole where Earth’s gravitational pull is weaker and its mass is lower than normal. In explaining this occurrence, it’s key to remember that while Earth is round, it’s not a perfect sphere. “The Earth is basically a lumpy potato,” study coauthor Attreyee Ghosh, a geophysics professor at the Centre for Earth Sciences of the Indian Institute of Science, told CNN. It’s “what we call an ellipsoid, because as the planet rotates the middle part bulges outward.” Different parts exert different gravitational pull as the mass of our planet’s layers vary.
Using evidence of Earth’s past geological configurations, Ghosh and her team simulated possible ways tectonic plates and magma could have formed this geoid low. They ran 19 simulations from as far back as 140 million years ago up to the present. Six of them rendered the geological phenomenon, and shared a commonality: Hot, anomalous magma plumes fringed the geoid low. The researchers conclude that the presence of this molten rock and the nearby mantle structure ultimately formed the gravity hole. They varied magma density in other trials, and the low never formed in simulations that lacked magma.
Magma viscosity also helped form the low. Even tweaking it a bit prevented the low’s formation. The team found that hot anomalies both in the upper mantle and below 1,000 kilometers into the earth contributed to formation. The magma plumes likely came from an ancient ocean that vanished as present-day India collided with Asia tens of millions of years ago.

The Intriguing Mystery of UFO Sightings: An Unforgettable Encounter in Turkey
The Intriguing Mystery of UFO Sightings: An Unforgettable Encounter in Turkey
Are you an avid follower of UFO sightings, constantly questioning the mysterious phenomena in the night sky? Then, brace yourself as we delve into one of the most compelling instances of unexplained aerial occurrences from Turkey – a nation that for millennia, has been a nexus for different cultures and now, possibly, a rendezvous point for interstellar meetings.
In the early morning hours of May 13, 2009, Yulchin Yalman, a night owl from the suburbs of Istanbul, noticed something peculiar hovering above the Sea of Marmara. This was not his first time capturing such incidents, but this time, the encounter was so remarkable that it left the entire UFO community abuzz.
Turkey’s Enigmatic Visitor
The sighting consisted of a silent, saucer-shaped craft hovering approximately a mile away and 500 feet above the sea. What really captured the attention of UFO enthusiasts, however, was the supposed glimpse inside the cockpit of the craft. Yalman claimed that what looked like two extraterrestrial beings could be seen at the helm of the unworldly vessel. It wasn’t just a mere UFO sighting; it was an alleged first-hand account of alien life!
Despite Turkey’s long history of skyward anomalies, including a molten silver object witnessed by Greek and Roman armies in 74 BC, the 2009 incident holds a unique position. The Turkish government has given it serious consideration, declaring the sighting as genuine and unaffiliated with any military programs.
When it comes to UFO sightings, analysis is crucial. Forensic video investigator Michael Primo noted that there was no evidence to suggest the footage was manipulated, but could not confirm the presence of extraterrestrial life. Other experts, like astronomer and video effects designer Mark D’Antonio, doubted the possibility of seeing entities inside the craft due to the limitations of 2009 camera technology.
One aviation expert even suggested the sighting could be an optical illusion caused by fishing vessels on the horizon, known as a “Fata Morgana.” But this theory was met with skepticism, as the phenomena typically occur lower on the horizon than where Yalman’s camera was pointed.

The Proof Is Out There: UFO in Turkey Takes Witnesses by SURPRISE (Season 3)
The consensus? This UFO sighting from Turkey is indeed a genuine unknown. While experts agree the figures seen inside the craft are likely not alien pilots, the object itself remains unidentifiable. Until we gather more definitive evidence, the 2009 UFO sighting over the Sea of Marmara will continue to perplex and intrigue us.
In conclusion, the increasing number of UFO sightings worldwide only adds to our curiosity about what lies beyond our atmosphere. As we delve deeper into the age of space exploration, the story of Yulchin Yalman and his intriguing UFO sighting reminds us that sometimes, the answers might just be looking down on us from the night sky.
Whether you’re a UFO enthusiast or a casual observer, keep your eyes on the sky – the next big sighting might just be around the corner!
In a monumental stride towards unraveling the enigmatic world of unidentified anomalous phenomena, the U.S Congress is set to illuminate the uncertainties encompassing Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). In a first, the American political sphere takes a significant leap into a domain that has often been relegated to the peripheries of mainstream discourse, affirming that we are on the cusp of a significant moment in the study of unexplained aerial occurrences.
Since time immemorial, humans have been fascinated and intrigued by strange sightings in the sky, leading to the age-old existential question, “Are we alone?” The sightings, often enigmatic and hard to decipher, have sparked endless debates and theorizing. However, the House Oversight Committee’s upcoming public hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) could potentially bring this marginalized topic to the forefront of contemporary conversations.
The hearing is not merely a symbolic event; it is a testament to the growing bipartisan drive for greater transparency on this matter. American politicians argue that defense officials have been non-cooperative, impeding their quest for answers. It is in this political landscape that investigative reporter Ross Kultart, an expert on UAPs, will participate, bolstering the call for uncovering the truth behind these skyward enigmas.
The Significance of the Investigation
This momentous hearing marks a breakthrough in U.S Congress’s approach to UAPs. It represents the first congressional inquiry into UAPs in more than half a century. Adding to the intrigue is the participation of a highly experienced former intelligence officer, David Grush. Having served at the National Reconnaissance Office and America’s National Geospatial Agency, Grush holds an insider’s perspective on the topic at hand.
Grush’s assertions are extraordinary. His investigative work within the Pentagon has led him to believe in the existence of a non-human intelligence engaging with our planet. His claims include the recovery of non-human technology, or to put it bluntly, alien artifacts, and bodies. His bold assertions are set to be part of the upcoming hearing, thus marking a new milestone in the search for the truth behind UAPs.
You’ll be able to watch Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Hearing in the player below!
The Future Unfolds
While it’s not yet clear how this hearing will investigate Grush’s claims, the potential impact on the UFO research community is undeniable. The involvement of Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, could be a game-changer. Schumer has proposed an amendment to the defense appropriations, requiring the Pentagon, intelligence community, and private aerospace companies suspected of possessing non-human technology or bodies to reveal their holdings.
As this drama unfolds in the hallowed halls of Congress, one thing is clear – this could be a turning point. The bipartisan commitment to reveal the truth, the anticipation of expert testimonials under oath, and the potential for an unprecedented revelation suggest that we are on the brink of an astonishing disclosure.
The upcoming hearing is likely to change our understanding of UFOs and our place in the universe. As we stand on the precipice of potential discovery, this could well be the time when we, as a species, gain a clearer answer to the timeless question, “Are we alone?” Only time will tell, but as it stands, we are undoubtedly on the verge of a revolutionary moment in human history.

Security cam caught weird UFO flying through the night sky over Kingsburg, California
Security cam caught weird UFO flying through the night sky over Kingsburg, California
A few days ago, on Wednesday night around 10:09 p.m. the backyard security camera of a Kingsburg resident captured a weird looking object, what the resident described as an unusual strange light that started zigging and zagging on its trajectory.
The cam owner wonders if it could be aliens or something else, but some viewers have suggested that it might be a digital artifact, a glitch in the camera or recording process that creates the optical illusion of an object with unusual characteristics, though not everyone is convinced it may have been a camera glitch.
The sighting in Kingsburg California is indeed quite intriguing due to the unique appearance of the object, with a glowing front and what seems like an aura. The mystery deepens as much of the anomaly is shrouded by what appears to resemble a dark plasma cloud.
It is hard to explain what the object could have been, maybe a UFO or otherworld entity? But as the cam owner said: "It's something, something different that I've ever seen."

The Daylight of Disclosure: Upcoming Historic UFO Hearing Seeks to Unveil the Truth
As we continue our pursuit of knowledge and truth, we often stumble upon topics that challenge our perception of reality. One such topic that’s been dominating discussions of late is the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs. In a significant move this week, the US government is stepping into the spotlight to bring forth some credible insight on this enigma.
The House of Representatives is holding a unique and historically significant hearing on July 26, centered around the unexplained and unidentified aerial occurrences. With the promise of revelations from insiders, this hearing aims to shed light on what many believe is an enduring, yet heavily cloaked reality.
This exceptional public discourse will focus on the testimonies of three key witnesses, who have had interactions with the unexplained phenomena or possess insider knowledge of the subject. As the world turns its attention to this event, we will hear from individuals who hail from various corners of the U.S. military and intelligence community. Their testimonies may reveal encounters with objects that challenge our understanding of physics and known flight capabilities, with some even suggesting evidence of ‘non-human intelligence.
The hearing will be broadcasted live on YouTube, granting the public a rare insight into a topic often considered taboo or controversial. It’s an unmissable event for anyone intrigued by these anomalies, starting at 10 a.m. EDT.
Among those stepping into the witness box will be two former U.S. Navy aviators, Ryan Graves and David Fravor. These two individuals have previously made headlines with their encounters with unconventional aircraft operating within U.S. military airspace. Alongside them, David Grusch, a veteran of the Pentagon’s intelligence community, will add his voice to the conversation. Grusch has made claims about receiving classified information regarding covert programs and the existence of non-human craft, raising eyebrows and sparking intrigue across major news outlets and the political sphere.
Furthermore, some U.S. Congress members seem to be hinting at the presence of concealed UFO/UAP knowledge. As stated by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a longstanding commitment to uncover the truth is at play: “The Pentagon and Washington bureaucrats have kept this information hidden for decades, and we’re finally going to shed some light on it,” he said.
These testimonies present a compelling case for heightened scientific scrutiny and analysis. Ryan Graves, vocal about airspace safety, emphasizes that these unidentified phenomena pose an “urgent and critical national security issue.” If these are indeed foreign assets, it necessitates an appropriate response. And if they continue to challenge conventional explanations, it calls for increased investment in scientific research.
This upcoming hearing is but the latest development in an ongoing saga regarding UFOs/UAP and the role of the U.S. government. Almost a year ago, the U.S. Department of Defense established the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), a body devoted to collecting and analyzing all available data relating to UFOs within the military and intelligence community.
Despite earlier claims from the director of AARO that there is “no credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity,” the impending testimonies from the upcoming hearing stand in stark contrast.
NASA is also joining the conversation, having recently held a public meeting of its independent UAP study group. A report from this group is eagerly awaited.
As we approach this monumental hearing, we stand at the threshold of new understandings and possibly, new realities. As the truth unfurls, one thing is for sure: the world is watching, waiting with bated breath for what’s to come.
Stanley Kubrick’s Unseen Magnum Opus: The Deception of a Moon Landing | Unraveling NASA’s Hollywood Illusion
Stanley Kubrick’s Unseen Magnum Opus: The Deception of a Moon Landing | Unraveling NASA’s Hollywood Illusion
When science, skepticism, and conspiracy theories collide
The iconic moon landing on July 20, 1969, by the American Apollo 11 mission, is undoubtedly one of humankind’s most astonishing achievements. Despite this, a persistent school of thought questions the authenticity of this feat, arguing it was an elaborate hoax orchestrated by NASA to outdo its Cold War adversary, the Soviet Union.
While these conspiracy theories have intrigued many over the years, a careful, scientific scrutiny of these claims paints a vastly different picture. Here, we delve into the core arguments put forth by the moon landing skeptics and evaluate them against solid scientific reasoning.
The Shadow Conundrum
One of the primary arguments skeptics present is the incongruity in the shadows observed in the photographs from the lunar surface. The theory suggests that since the shadows are not parallel, there must have been additional light sources, indicating a staged setting.
This belief, however, overlooks the nature of perspective and the properties of light. In reality, shadows are not inherently parallel. The direction of a shadow depends on the viewer’s perspective. A simple Earth-based example could be a set of parallel lines on the ground appearing to converge at a distance due to perspective. Furthermore, wide-angle lenses used by the astronauts to capture the vast lunar terrain inevitably distort the images, contributing to the perceived shadow anomalies.
The Missing Stars in the Photos
Another frequently raised point is the apparent absence of stars in the photographs taken from the moon. Skeptics argue that this anomaly indicates a fabricated backdrop used for the staged landing. However, the absence of stars in these pictures is a simple consequence of photographic settings used during the lunar mission.
To capture the lunar surface without washing out details due to the moon’s extreme brightness, the camera’s iris had to be almost entirely closed, and the shutter speed was significantly increased. This setting allowed as little light as possible into the camera, thereby rendering the comparatively faint stars invisible in the photographs.
The Lunar Module and Lack of a Blast Crater
Critics often question the absence of a blast crater underneath the lunar module. In actuality, there is a very straightforward explanation. The module’s engine was switched off about 10 feet from the surface, and it dropped the rest of the way. With no wind on the moon’s surface to disturb it, the dust wouldn’t be flying around, and hence no pronounced crater would form.
The Apollo 11 Sweater and Kubrick Conspiracy
One of the most captivating aspects of the moon landing conspiracy revolves around acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. A theory proposed in the documentary “Kubrick’s Odyssey” posits that Kubrick was enlisted by NASA to film a fake moon landing. This belief gained traction from a video of an alleged confession from Kubrick, which, however, turned out to be a hoax.
In reality, Stanley Kubrick was a self-confessed ‘space nut’ who had a keen interest in the Apollo program and science fiction. Coincidences such as the Apollo 11 sweater worn by a character in his film, “The Shining,” have often been misinterpreted as hidden messages confirming his involvement in the alleged hoax.
While these scientific explanations provide rational answers to the moon landing conspiracy theories, it’s vital to remember the critical role of skepticism in scientific inquiry. Skepticism encourages us to question and explore, driving us to uncover truths and dispel fallacies.
Even as we commemorate the incredible achievement of the Apollo 11 mission, we must continue to question, investigate, and strive for knowledge. After all, every question asked, every mystery probed, brings us one step closer to understanding our universe better.
The chorus of voices calling for the U.S. government to spill the beans on possible alien visitation of Earth is louder than ever. But are we ready for such a revelation?

If you follow the complex and perplexing world of unidentified flying objects, now tied to the term unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, then you're aware that we may be inching toward "full disclosure."
What that means is uncorking the bottle filled to the brim with an elixir of truth, say disclosure activists, that Earth has been on the receiving end of exotic craft of off-world origin. Even more, there are allegations of a covert U.S. government reverse engineering program set up to essentially write an operators manual on how these alleged anomalous vehicles function.
The drumbeat that the U.S. government is ready to spill the beans on possible alien guests to Earth is louder than ever. But whether it's next week, next year or next decade, what are the social consequences of first contact? Or, at least some outing of historical records documenting evidence of visitors from afar? Are we ready for such a revelation? There appears to be debate on what the ripple effects might be.
According to one recent public poll, a majority of those sampled believe the government may be covering up the truth about UFOs.
Other polls have found that most Americans believe in intelligent life beyond Earth. Indeed, poll data shows an uptick in thinking over the years that there is an off-Earth population of aliens frolicking about out there in the extraterrestrial ether.
But given the specter of full disclosure, are we ready for full-body-contact?
Better data needed
"Quite a bit of work has been done on the societal impact of discovering radio signals from extraterrestrials beaming a message from a planet circling a distant star," said Steven Dick an American astronomer and author noted for his work in the field of astrobiology.
"But that is very different from the consequences if they are actually here in the form of UFOs or UAPs. Science fiction tends toward the dramatic," Dick told Space.com.
"I find it unlikely that the U.S. Government could keep a secret of this magnitude for this long. I am all for studying the anomalous phenomena of UFOs/UAPs. But I am not convinced by the blurry Navy videos that these are spacecraft piloted by ET, or even ET-related artificial intelligence. We need better data," Dick advised.
The need for better UAP data was a key theme of a meeting of NASA's UAP independent study group held on May 31, 2023 at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Worldviews would change
In Dick's opinion, disastrous first contact events with uncontacted cultures are not necessarily the best analogies. There are plenty of beneficial intercultural contacts throughout history, he said, such as trade relations going back to ancient times even beyond the Bronze Age.
"Whether contact is direct or remote and assuming we survive direct contact, I would say what is certain is that our philosophical and theological worldviews would change," said Dick. "We should not expect extraterrestrials to solve all our problems, but the interchange of information would be very interesting!"
As for the question: Are we ready?
"Probably not," Dick said, "but new fields of study like 'astrotheology' and 'astroethics' are laying out the options. There is some consensus that religions will survive, but in greatly altered form to take into account that we are not the moral center of the universe or the most intelligent beings. Some religions will be more adaptable than others," he said.
Copernican moment
John Elliott is coordinator of the SETI Post Detection Hub within the School of Computer Science at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
Elliott sees the societal impact of discovering extraterrestrial life as a profound "Copernican type" moment for humankind. "The impact is likely to be proportionate to its proximity to us and whether it is intelligent or not. It will be the confirmation that we are not the only life in the universe, and our perceived central 'importance' will receive a significant shift in perspective," he said.

Also, such a discovery will indicate that life is probably common throughout the universe, Elliott said. "To what extent extraterrestrial life is intelligent or has preceded us or is now extinct are other questions. Preparation for such an event is therefore not planning for just one possible scenario but many," he said.
SETI post detection is "probably one of the most multi-disciplinary endeavors humanity has ever undertaken," Elliott added, "not only for assessing the evidence discovered, but also for considering the human social response, impact strategies and protocols."
Elliott said that the hub's primary role at the university is to serve as a dedicated international "home" for facilitating and coordinating research into a coherent post-detection framework, to work on topics ranging from message decipherment and data analytics to development of regulatory protocols, space law and societal impact strategies, "a project that will be ever evolving," he noted.
Imminent disclosure
"The refrain that full disclosure is imminent is one that has been voiced since almost the very start of the flying saucer era in 1947," observed Greg Eghigian, a professor of history and bioethics at Pennsylvania State University. He is author of a forthcoming book on the history of UFOs in the United States.
Eghigian told Space.com that, despite the fact that various states — including the U.S. and the United Kingdom — have released a huge number of classified documents over the years, "it has never satisfied some who will only be content if governments demonstrate that they are withholding information about the extraterrestrial origins of UFOs."
Based on the past, Eghigian said there is little reason to suspect things will be playing out any differently now.
On the topic of "are we ready for revelation," the scenario of actual alien intelligence contact/confirmation is not in fact one scenario but rather multiple scenarios.
"Such an event could play out in any variety of ways — from astronomical observations of what appear to be signs of a once existent technologically advanced civilization to the discovery of alien artifacts in space to visitors appearing here on Earth," Eghigian said.
"Every scenario would likely have considerably different consequences, many of which I suspect would not have much of an effect on most people's lives," Eghigian concluded.

Ex-NASA Astronaut: ‘We have Contact With Alien Cultures & Their Appearance Is Bizarre’
Ex-NASA Astronaut: ‘We have Contact With Alien Cultures & Their Appearance Is Bizarre’
On July 28, 2011, former astronaut and scientist Brian O’Leary passed away shortly after making a big statement. When the United States space agency NASA selected its sixth group of astronauts in August 1967, he was selected to be a member of that group. O’Leary had been a member of Princeton University’s physics faculty for many years. According to him, there is substantial evidence indicating that Earth is being visited by extraterrestrial beings. He claimed that advanced civilizations arrived on earth a very long time ago and that these civilizations employ technology that are founded on consciousness.
“There is much evidence that we have been contacted by aliens, and that these civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time, their appearance may be bizarre from any traditional Western materialistic point of view. These visitors use consciousness-influencing technologies – the toroid and use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, which appear to be the common denominator of the UFO phenomenon,”— Dr. Brian O’Leary on Thrive Movement
Dr. Brian O’Leary was born on January 27, 1940. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and died of a heart attack. In August 1967, he was one of the astronauts chosen by NASA to participate in the sixth group of astronauts. The people that made up this team were commonly referred to as the scientist-astronauts. Dr. O’Leary attended Williams College and earned a bachelor of arts degree in physics in 1961. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley and earned a doctor of philosophy degree in astronomy in 1967.

He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and secretary of the Planetology Section of the American Geophysical Union. In addition, he led the Asteroidal Resources Group for the NASA Ames Summer Study on Space Settlements. He was a founding board member of the International Association for New Science and the New Energy Movement’s first president. He was a fellow at the World Innovation Foundation and a Princeton University physics professor.
After O’Leary quit NASA, Carl Sagan invited him to lecture at Cornell University in 1968. He stayed there as an astronomy research associate from 1968 to 1969 and as an assistant professor from 1969 to 1971. He looked into lunar mascons while he was at Cornell. During the 1970–1971 academic year, O’Leary worked as a visiting researcher at the California Institute of Technology. He was the deputy team leader of the Mariner 10 Venus-Mercury TV Science Team. NASA recognized the team’s efforts by presenting them with a group accomplishment award.
During a live interview with Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot, he shared some fascinating insights regarding Carl Sagan. O’Leary and Sagan had been friends for a number of years, but when O’Leary decided to leave Cornell, they had a falling out. (Source)
Following his departure, O’Leary began to explore some of Carl’s work. He claimed that the iconic “Face” at Cydonia on Mars, which was photographed by Viking in 1975 and resembled a human face, was altered by Sagan before being released to the public: “It was very, very disappointing to me, because not only was Carl wrong, he also fudged data. He published a picture of the ‘Face’ in Parade Magazine, a popular article, saying that the ‘Face’ was just a natural formation, but he doctored the picture to make it not look like a face.”
In May 1990, O’Leary released a paper titled “Analysis of Images of the Face on Mars and Possible Intelligent Origin,” which only further demonstrated his skepticism. It was published in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Vol.43 No.5. O’Leary also went on the record and stated:
“I began to realize, just directly from the scientific point of view, not only hearsay, that this man was colluding with NASA, that there might be more to this than before… Carl was on a committee with a number of notable people. There was a report issued by the Brookings Institution in 1961 — and that’s about when I knew Carl, during those years; the ’60s mostly was when I worked closely with him — that he and this other group said: Well, if any ETs ever showed up on the Earth, it has to be covered up. That’s the only way we’re going to be able to manage this, because if we can’t, then it would be too much of a culture shock.”
On the 18th of September, 1994, Dr. O’Leary said during the International Forum on New Science in Fort Collins in Colorado: “A secret group within the U.S. government keeps the masses for nearly 50 years away at about UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. We have contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. This information is probably obscured by an elite group within the CIA, NSA and DIA. This small group knows well the secrets to keep. Watergate and the Iran-Contra affair are child compared to this cosmic Watergate about UFOs, aliens, mind control, genetic engineering, free energy and antigravity.”
O’Leary suggested not only the existence of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth, but also the existence of a face on Mars. He also penned the introduction to Steven Greer’s book Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge. The book is about repressed alien technologies such as free energy, anti-gravity, and extraterrestrial presence on Earth.
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source)

“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.
– Theodor C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
“Aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government. Decades ago, visitors from other plants warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after…Because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.”

My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving, and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.”
Until recently, Mercury seemed to be the only planet in our Solar System without aurorae, those streams of light that appear on Earth in the polar skies when solar wind bombards the upper atmosphere with electrons.
Mercury has no atmosphere for an aurora to appear in, after all, just a thin layer of atoms blasted free of its surface by meteoroids and solar wind. According to a recent study of data from the BepiColombo mission, Mercury has x-ray aurorae that make the ground itself glow with invisible light. As strange as the phenomenon is, though, JAXA planetary scientist Sae Aizawa and her colleagues say it’s caused by the same physics that create the familiar Northern Lights here on Earth.
If our eyes could see x-ray light, this is what Mercury’s eerie aurora might look like.

While BepiColombo (a joint mission of the European Space Agency and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency) swept past Mercury for the first in October 2021, its instruments were busy mapping Mercury’s magnetic field, as well as tracking the movements of electrons close to the planet.
Mercury gets bombarded by relentless solar wind, so the area of space around the planet is swarming with charged particles, mostly electrons. And when Aizawa and her colleagues examined the data from BepiColombo’s first flyby, they noticed that those electrons tend to get caught in Mercury’s magnetic field, which speeds the particles along magnetic field lines toward the planet’s poles. At the poles, electrons fall to the planet’s surface.
The same thing happens in Earth’s magnetic field, except that the charged particles have a whole atmosphere to fall through. On the way down, the electrons bump into atoms (our atmosphere is so full of atoms), and those collisions release energy, producing the Northern and Southern Lights. However, on airless Mercury, the electrons plummet straight to the ground. And that’s where it gets bizarre.
When electrons from solar wind, accelerated by Mercury’s magnetic field, rain down on the barren ground near the planet’s poles, minerals in the ground react by fluorescing, or emitting x-rays. The result is an invisible X-ray aurora blazing up from below, not shining down from above.
How flipping goth is that?
According to Aizawa and her colleagues, Mercury’s weird aurorae actually prove that the phenomenon works the same way on every planet in our Solar System (and almost certainly in other star systems, too).
Mars, for example, doesn’t have a proper, planet-spanning magnetic field, but patches of its crust contain rich veins of magnetic minerals, which sometimes they produce their own hyperlocal light shows. The electrons that bombard Jupiter’s stormy atmosphere mostly come from its volcanic disaster moon Io, rather than from solar wind, but the process that leads to aurorae is still the same (and Jupiter also has X-ray aurorae).
The basic mechanics that make x-rays dance across Mercury’s polar surface also light up the polar skies here on Earth — and on every other planet in the Solar System, plus at least one comet. Sometimes the results are just extremely weird.
