From Spy Balloon to UFO: The Unveiled Secrets of the F-22 Raptor’s Mysterious Yukon Encounter – Read ‘Secret’ memo
From Spy Balloon to UFO: The Unveiled Secrets of the F-22 Raptor’s Mysterious Yukon Encounter – Read ‘Secret’ memo
In an atmosphere thickening with tensions of national security and the forever elusive question of “Are we alone?“, a curious incident has recently come to light. This is the tale of an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP)—commonly known as a UFO—intercepted and taken down by a U.S. F-22 Raptor in Canada’s remote Yukon Territory. Initially dismissed as a Chinese spy balloon, the object now emerges as a centerpiece in a renewed global focus on unexplained aerial occurrences.
The Yukon Incident: A Closer Look
On a seemingly ordinary day in February, the U.S. F-22 Raptor, one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world, engaged with an unidentified object over the icy landscapes of the Yukon Territory. According to reports, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received a “Secret” memo that chronicled this as the 23rd UAP occurrence in North America within the initial weeks of 2023.
Notably, this incident followed the downing of what was believed to be a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina. This led many to initially categorize the Yukon object as another likely espionage attempt, especially in the backdrop of three other unidentified objects being intercepted around the same time. However, details suggest a more mysterious nature to the object shot down in the Yukon.
The “Secret” Memo Unveiled
Obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, the memo designated for the Canadian Prime Minister added layers of complexity to an already complicated narrative. Sent on February 14, the document was cautiously distributed to a select few, including Trudeau’s national security advisor, Jody Thomas, and endorsed by Janice Charette, who was the clerk of Canada’s Privy Council Office at that time.
While most UAPs usually turn out to be harmless, the memo explicitly states that the purpose, means of propulsion, or affiliation with any specific nation-state of the Yukon object remains unconfirmed. Moreover, the strenuous conditions and the remote, mountainous terrain have prevented recovery efforts, leaving the questions about its nature unanswered.
Unidentified or Unexplainable?
What elevates the Yukon incident from a mere curio to a subject of robust inquiry is the shift in global attitude toward UAPs. The Pentagon and NASA have increased their investigations, recognizing these phenomena as more than fodder for conspiracy theories. The memo for Prime Minister Trudeau shows a similar sentiment in Canada, indicating that the governments are taking these incidents seriously enough to engage at the highest levels.
Additionally, the object’s initial identification as a “suspected balloon” with a “cylindrical” shape only intensifies the intrigue. This poses significant questions: What led the F-22 Raptor to engage an object that was neither confirmed as hostile nor clearly identified? What implications does this have for our understanding of airspace security? And most of all, what was that object?
Global Reckoning
U.S. President Joe Biden has suggested that these mysterious objects are likely benign, possibly even private or research balloons. But if that’s the case, why the classified memos and the high-level briefings? Why the sudden rush of increased surveillance capabilities, as indicated by the spokesperson of Canada’s Department of National Defence?
The Yukon incident might just be the tip of an iceberg in a sea of unanswered questions about our skies, and by extension, our place in the universe. It has emboldened the argument that there’s more out there than what meets the eye—or our radars.
The downing of the unidentified object in the Yukon by an F-22 Raptor has opened Pandora’s box of curiosities and concerns. As we await further disclosures and investigations, one thing is clear: the world is watching, and perhaps, so is someone—or something—else. The narrative has changed, and as nations re-evaluate their approach toward unidentified aerial phenomena, one can only wonder what other secrets the skies hold.
What started as a mere blip on the radar in a remote part of Canada has catapulted into a global debate, and it seems, the discussions are just beginning to take flight.
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has successfully located and photographed the landing site of a spacecraft recently sent to the moon by India’s space program.
Chandrayaan-3 is the third mission in the Chandrayaan program, a set of moon missions launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The current mission, launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on July 14, includes the Vikram lunar lander and an accompanying lunar rover, Pragyan, which follow a similar pairing of lunar exploration vehicles launched in 2019 as part of the Chandrayaan-2 mission.
Since June 18, 2009, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been observing the moon from its position in an eccentric mapping orbit, providing imagery crucial to the production of a 3D map of the lunar surface. Although the LRO’s mission was originally intended to last for just two years, it was extended to allow the spacecraft to continue to collect data that may help scientists understand a range of questions that include the evolution of the moon’s crust and regolith.
Chandrayaan-3 landed on the Moon on August 23, approximately 600 kilometers from the Moon’s South Pole.
From its position in orbit, the LRO successfully spotted and photographed the Indian spacecraft’s landing site, which can be seen in the center of the image below as a dark spot surrounded by a lighter “halo” of white.

The Chandrayaan-3 lander isn’t actually glowing, of course. The lighter area around it is an effect caused by the spacecraft’s rocket plume blasting away fine-grained lunar soil, resulting in the exposure of regolith with a lighter coloration, contrasted against the shadow cast by the lander.
The image was logged by NASA as frame No. M1447750764LR, comprising a region surrounding the Chandrayaan-3 lander that is close to 1,738 meters wide.
Four days after NASA obtained the images that initially detected the Chandrayaan-3 lander, a secondary view at a 42-degree oblique or “slew angle” was also obtained.
Additional imagery of the Chandrayaan-3 mission has been made available online courtesy of the ISRO and can be viewed here.
Bryce Zabel, a CNN reporter has done a marvelous job in presenting the detailed Roswell incident in his personal blog. He collectively mentioned top witnesses’ statements that assure Roswell disclosure is on a fast track. The legendary incident that happened in 1947 was indeed real, according to moon-walking astronaut Edgar Mitchell. He claimed in his interviews that he had informants that had told him about the inside story of Roswell, but he never disclosed their names.
“Make no mistake, Roswell happened. I’ve seen secret files which show the government knew about it — but decided not to tell the public,” claimed Edgar Mitchell, Ph.D., Apollo 14 Astronaut.
In February 1971, after the successful completion of the mission, the Apollo 14 crew returned to Earth. Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell became the fifth and sixth astronauts to walk on the moon’s surface. While Shepard chose to live in the glory, Mitchell became the main troublemaker for many years.
He publicly accepted the existence of aliens after being on the Moon and stuck to it until his death. He accused the US government of hiding the truth about contact with aliens. Immediately after his return, Mitchell left NASA and immersed himself in studying UFOs, ancient history, and human consciousness.

Mitchell grew up in the small town of Artesia, a few miles from the very Roswell airbase where the crash allegedly occurred. The astronaut claimed that many of his neighbors, acquaintances, and friends worked at that base, and what he heard from them is enough for him to consider the Roswell incident a real UFO crash. Mitchell did not disclose the names of his informants, referring to the fact that they all signed a non-disclosure agreement and he did not want them to have any problems.
Michell, who claimed he briefed the highest members of the Pentagon, said the reality is that there was an advanced civilization that could penetrate our air defenses at will and that we could not stop them in any way, shape, or form, immediately doomed the Roswell incident to become one of the greatest coverups in history.
ET stopped Nuclear War
According to Mitchell, he once had a confidential conversation with a Navy admiral, who secretly told him that in fact, aliens had established contact with the government back in the early 1940s. They were interested in earthly weapons, primarily the atomic bomb. At the very beginning of the Cold War between the USSR and the USA, aliens often came to Earth because they feared nuclear war and tried to influence the world elites in some way. (Source)
Growing up in New Mexico gave him a unique insight to the Roswell area, he told the UK’s Mirror in 2015.
“White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons – and that’s what the extraterrestrials were interested in… They wanted to know about our military capabilities. My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.”
According to a 2015 story, Apollo 14 astronaut said: “My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.”
However, he clarified in hisinterview with Observerthat he did not make those statements but at the same time, he somewhat agreed with those words. He said: “I don’t remember speaking to them personally. I don’t know where they got that information. I didn’t make those statements. Somebody has added to my words. Those weren’t my exact words but I don’t necessarily disagree with those statements.”
However, the 2016 Wikileak emails say Mitchell was worried about space weaponization. Despite the fact that aliens might be violent as shown in various sci-fi, the notable astronaut called them nonviolent in his email. In January 2015, he sent an email to Podesta, asking him to have an urgent meeting to discuss Disclosure and Zero Point Energy (ZPE). He was concerned about the peace in space.
Mitchell wrote: “My Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield will be there too, to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI. Another colleague is working on a new Space Treaty, citing involvement with Russia and China. However, with Russia’s extreme interference in Ukraine, I believe we must pursue another route for peace in space and ZPE on Earth.”
Mitchell emailed Podesta again on September 18, 2015. He wrote: “Because the War in Space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk. Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth. They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.”
Why Believe the Roswell Crash?
Bryce Zabel writes: “That storyline has hundreds of witnesses testifying to roughly the same fact trail. Some were first-hand witnesses to debris and even the recovery of bodies, and several accounts came from death bed confessions. Many more witnesses were family members who learned of the secret their fathers and husbands had kept inside them for decades. There were many dozens who attested to extremely tight security and transportation of material in the aftermath of what crashed at Roswell.”
Jesse Marcel was an intelligence officer of the 509th Bombardment Group at Roswell Army Air Field and was tasked with investigating the 1947 Roswell crash
Moreover, the hype of Roswell stories has increased. The New York Times started covering this issue in the summer of 2020 and is continuing its investigation into crash wreckage. Besides, the former head of the AATIP Luis Elizondo gave his candid take on the 1947 Roswell crash in New Mexico and more in an interview with the Roswell Daily Record.
Elizondo: “I’ll share with you… some of the observations that were made by some people. Before I was part of AATIP, I had no idea about Roswell, other than that there was sort of some alleged crash at some point and some farmer found debris — but during my time with AATIP, there was some very interesting anecdotal information that suggests there wasn’t just one crash, there may have been two crashes, and that somehow it may have been related to some sort of testing that was being done at the time at White Sands, and that material was recovered.
And that material that was recovered, samples of that material found their way into the hands of private citizens, some of them, but that the … allegedly the larger sections of debris were all recovered by the U.S. Government.”
During the interview, Elizondo said that while he headed the AATIP, his job was to concentrate on current UAP incidents, however, he added that he had conversations with so-called “graybeards” at the Pentagon who had been involved with UAPs since Project Blue Book. It was from these individuals that Elizondo learned what probably occurred at Roswell in 1947.
Elizondo: ”These individuals were convinced that the events in New Mexico were not fiction. In fact that it was a, very much a real event and that some very exotic material was recovered… And then there was a subsequent effort to try to be very dismissive about what occurred in New Mexico. But again, I will share with you that it was, from my understanding, it wasn’t one, it was two crashes, and it may have been related to some sort of nuclear-type testing of technology that we were doing, atomic and/or nuclear technology at Los Alamos at the time.”
Two Brazilian journalists in 1952 presented photos they said depicted a flying disk. The photos created an uproar. They were not debunked by a subsequent military inquiry, although some ufologists later asserted that the images had been fabricated.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Early one August evening in 1954, a Brazilian plane was tracked by an unidentified object of “strong luminosity” that didn’t appear on radar. Two decades later, a river community in the northern Amazon jungle was repeatedly visited by glowing orbs that beamed lights down onto the inhabitants. In 1986, more than 20 unidentified aerial phenomena lit up the skies over Brazil’s most populous states, sending the Brazilian air force out in pursuit.
The stories are not the ravings of aUFO buff. They are official assessments by Brazilian pilots and military officers — who often struggled to put into words what they’d seen — and can be found in Brazil’s remarkable historical archive of reported UFO visitations.
Even more extraordinary? It’s all public record.
There are no security clearances. No heavily redacted documents. Anyone can access the files — the military reports, the videos and audio recordings, the grainy unverified photographs — and thousands of people have.
“It’s comparatively easy to get this information here,” said Rodolpho Santos, a historian at the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais. “And the variety of records is good and considerable.”
Brazil and the United States are two countries of continental proportions, frequent UFO sightings and active communities of extraterrestrial enthusiasts. But how each has responded to the most fundamental of human questions — are we alone? — has been sharply different. In the United States, the matter of unidentified aerial phenomena has often been treated as a closely guarded government secret. Meanwhile, in Brazil and much of South America, there has been a more relaxed attitude toward the inexplicable, the public’s right to know and the limits of scientific explanation.

Now, as legislators in Washington push for the same transparency that other parts of the world have enjoyedfor years, the cultural and nationalistic differences between how countries interpret the skies and what is divulged have grown even more apparent.
In South America, at least four countries — Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru — have public government programs that study and investigate UFO activity. Argentina and Chile regularlyrelease reports on identifying aerial objects. And in Uruguay, which has passed UFO details along to the United States since the 1970s, the military runs the Commission for the Reception and Investigation of Complaints of Unidentified Flying Objects.
“We have been sharing the information with the public since the beginning,” said Col. Ariel Sánchez, the head of the Uruguayan program. “We believe people need to be informed.”
Whether a country shares that contention, researchers say, often comes down to military interests. The United States, for example, has often been less willing to publicize or publicly engage on questions about UFOs — even going so far to spread misinformation in the 1950s — for fear of ceding a strategic advantage to adversaries and jeopardizing national security.
“The U.S. has always tended toward secrecy,” said Chris Impey, an astronomer at the University of Arizona. “Only in the last year or so has there been a push for transparency, but the backdrop of that was flat-out denial or secrecy.”
In Brazil, where polling shows that 33 percent of people believe in extraterrestrial life, ufologists are not treated as crackpots. They run magazines and operate through official-sounding organizations, such as the Brazilian Commission of Ufologists. Some were granted an audience before the Brazilian Senate last yearand have met with some of the country’s most important military leaders. Generals, in turn, openly wonder about extraterrestrials without fear of derision.
In 1977, residents of the impoverished northern Amazon jungle community of Colares reported being visited by glowing orbs that beamed lights down onto inhabitants. The Brazilian military spent months investigating and documented the objects but said it could not discern what they were. (Air Force of Brazil)

£“The science of man is very small to be able to explain all phenomena,” said Gen. Marco Aurélio Rosa. “And our cultural and ethnic mixing has enabled Brazilians to have this curiosity about the supernatural, the mystical and transcendental, that ends up leading us to the question of ufology.”
Brazil’s military began posing such questionsin the 1950s, shortly after two journalists came back from an assignment in Rio de Janeiro with what they claimed were extraordinary photos. They showed a circular object flying over a granite mountain. One of the photos — now stored in the national archives — leaped onto the cover of the national magazine O Cruzeiro. “FLYING DISC,” the headline said. More sightings of other flying discs quickly followed. The public was restless for answers. The military launched an inquiry and then held a public conference in 1954 at its national academy in Rio de Janeiro.
Col. João Adil Oliveira, one of that era’s most respected officers, stepped in front of a large audience.

“The issue of flying discs,” he proclaimed, “is serious and deserves to be treated seriously.” The military had not been able to disprove the journalists’ photos, nor discern the disk’s provenance. (Years later, some ufologists asserted that the photos had been faked; the issue remains hotly debated by Brazilian enthusiasts.)In the decades that followed, how the military treated reports of subsequent sightings was in large part a function of Brazil’s own vacillating commitment to transparency. During the military dictatorship, which ruled Brazil from 1964 to 1985, most information was restricted. But when the country returned to democracy, and particularly after the 2011 passage of a freedom of information law, Brazilians availed themselves of their newfound right by requesting, first and foremost, access to UFO records.
By 2013, the military was deluged by requests, according to reporting at the time. The pile of information requests involving UFOs was nearly four times higher than the next largest — that involving military pay. With pressure building, then-Defense Minister Celso Amorim signed off on a meeting with Brazilian ufologists and afterward ordered the transfer of a vast trove of UFO records to the national archives for public access.
“I did it because of the demand at that time,” recalled Amorim, now a senior adviser to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
For the first time, researchers and ufologists were able to scrutinize the most curious incidents in recent Brazilian history. Some proved to be frauds or were easily explained away. But regarding others, questions lingered.
One involved the impoverished Amazon community of Colares in the state of Pará. In the latter half of 1977, the community was gripped by panic. People were saying the region’s rivers had been invaded by flying, luminous objects. They beamed lights down onto people, who, according to military records, reported symptoms of paralysis and dizziness.
A military unit was sent in to investigate. It spent four months in the area. The team photographed the flying lights, interviewed dozens of people and wrote extensive reports that included drawings of the luminous aircraft that, in declassified notes, looked like flying American footballs. The military observers said that what they saw defied explanation.
“We feel as we haven’t come to a completely satisfactory conclusion,” João Flavio de Freitas Costa wrote in his November 1977 report. “The cases … left us in doubt and without explanations, based on our standards of knowledge.”

Other reports involved what would come to be known here as the “Official Night of UFOs.” It occurred in May 1986, when 21 separate flying objects were reported across southeastern Brazil. Dozens of people — perhaps thousands — witnessed the flying objects. One of those witnesses was a pilot who, while in the air, made a call to a control tower.
“I’m seeing three of them now,” the pilot said, according to the recording.
“Could it be a shooting star?”
“A shooting star that stands still?” he said. “It’s beautiful. It changes from red to yellow. … Look at them. I have chills.”
The military sent planes out to intercept the objects. Cmdr. José Pessoa Calvalcanti de Albuquerque tried to describe what the military and air traffic control witnessed in a confidential report dated June 2, 1986. “They are solid phenomena and reflect a certain intelligence,” he wrote, “by their ability to accompany and keep distance from observers and that they fly in formation.”
But even in a country largely open to discussing and inquiring into unidentified phenomena, not all matters have been fully disclosed. Missing from the archives, ufologists say, are military photographs and videos of the orbs that visited the Amazonian river community as well as military documents regarding perhaps the most notorious alleged encounter, known as the “Varginha Incident.”
According to a recent study using computer simulations, Planet 9 is out there— and it’s smaller and more like Earth than you probably expect.
Planetary scientists Patryk Sofia Lykawka of Kindai University and Takashi Ito of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan used computer simulations to model how the rocky, frozen little worlds of the Kuiper Belt could have ended up in their current orbits, and it turns out that the best explanation is an unseen, undiscovered planet slightly larger than Earth, orbiting somewhere between 250 and 500 times farther from the Sun than our temperate planet. They published their work in The Astrophysical Journal.
The Kuiper Belt is populated by dwarf planets like Quaoar, shown in this illustration, and smaller chunks of rock and ice.

SOMETHING STRANGE IS AFOOT IN THE KUIPER BELT
Far beyond the orbit of Neptune, in the outermost reaches of our Solar System, hundreds of thousands of tiny, frozen worlds drift through the darkness. The Kuiper Belt objects are like time capsules from the ancient Solar System, and their orbits can reveal how the giant planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — moved through the early Solar System and settled into their current orbits. And some of those orbits are weird enough to demand explanation.
In 2016, astronomers Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin announced a hypothesis for how a dwarf planet called Sedna and several objects like it came to have similar strange, elongated orbits that all cluster near the same point in space: a planet about half the mass of Neptune on the outskirts of our Solar System pulling their orbits in weird directions. Called Planet Nine, the hunt has since ensued for the elusive world.
But Lykawka and Ito say Brown and Batygin’s version of Planet 9 doesn’t account for all the weirdness going on with Kuiper Belt objects’ orbits, just the group whose orbits have been tilted at the same strange angle. Other scenarios — like an Earth-sized planet, carelessly shoved aside by one of the wandering giant planets, which in turn nudged a few Kuiper Belt objects on its way out of the Solar System — also don’t explain all of the orbital resonances, weirdly distant objects, and tilted orbits we see in the Kuiper Belt today.
In Lykawka and Ito’s simulations, only one scenario that explained all of the complex goings-on in the Kuiper Belt: a planet closer to Earth’s mass, around 250 to 500 times Earth’s distance from the Sun. According to Lykawka and Ito’s simulations, the best explanation is an unseen, undiscovered planet about 1.5 to 3 times as massive as Earth, orbiting somewhere between 250 and 500 times as far from the Sun: it’s Planet 9, but not the version other scientists have been looking for.
It will take more than computer simulations to prove that Planet 9 exists, let alone reveal its size or its path around the Sun. The best option would be to actually spot the world lurking on the edges of our system, but it’s likely to be so small and so distant from the Sun that the chances of it being visible are, well, astronomical. (However, some observatories like the Vera Rubin Observatory might be able to find such a world, but not without a lot of effort.) Instead, Lykawka and Ito, as well as Brown and Batygin, are on the right track; we’ll most likely find Planet 9 by tracking its unseen influence on the small icy worlds around it.
“More detailed knowledge of the orbital structure in distant Kuiper Belt can reveal or rule out the existence of any hypothetical planet in the outer Solar System,” write Lykawka and Ito in their recent paper.
It was in the heady, X-Files-dominated days of 1995 thatRay Santilli let loose upon an unsuspecting world the infamous “Alien Autopsy” film. Eleven years later, and after a seemingly never-ending period of controversy and debate, Santilli finally ‘fessed up to the fact that the controversial footage was nothing more than a, ahem, “restoration.” So Santilli’s highly convoluted story went, he really did have in his possession 1947-vintage U.S. military film that showed the secret autopsy of a bald-headed, pot-bellied alien who had had the unfortunate bad driving skills to crash to earth deep in the harsh deserts of New Mexico. Ironically, however, Santilli elaborated, the real footage had supposedly degraded to the point where it was both unwatchable and unusable from a broadcasting perspective; and so he enlisted the expert help of special-effects chums to work on that aforementioned restoration.
It would have been far too much to have expected this to lay matters to rest. And, indeed, it did not. The believers – or some of them, at least - continued to believe; while the disbelievers publicly scoffed at Santilli’s claims of “restoration” and maintained that the whole thing was nothing more than a straightforward hoax – albeit an ingeniously instigated and executed one. And even though the affair has now been relegated to the sidelines of ufology by all but those few that still have faith in Santilli’s original story, it is a seldom discussed fact that Santilli was not the first to claim knowledge of, or possession of, decades-old U.S. military film-footage and photographs said to show the bodies of dead and decaying ET’s.
(Nick Redfern) Get our hands on the dead aliens and we have the answers
A well-known collector of crashed UFO tales, the late Leonard Stringfield, was the recipient of a number of such claims – although, sadly and perhaps inevitably, no films. One such tale told to Stringfield came from the unsurprisingly anonymous ‘Mr. T.E.’, who, said Stringfield in 1980, “holds a technical position in today’s life.” T.E. told Stringfield that in 1953, at the age of just twenty, and while stationed at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, he was summoned to watch a startling piece of film-footage at the base theatre. Reported Stringfield: “Without any briefing, the 16mm movie projector was flicked on and the film began to roll on the screen…the film showed a desert scene dominated by a silver disc-shaped object embedded in the sand…” Stringfield continued that: “Then…there was a change of scenes. Now in view were two tables, probably taken inside a tent, on which, to his surprise, were dead bodies. T.E. said the bodies appeared little by human standards and most notable were the heads, all looking alike, and all being large compared to their body sizes…They looked Mongoloid.”
Interestingly, T.E. and his colleagues were told immediately after the screening to ‘think about the movie’; but were later advised that: “It was a hoax.” And, eerily paralleling the Santilli film, T.E. told Stringfield that: “The 5-minute long movie certainly was not a Walt Disney production. It was probably shot by an inexperienced cameraman because it was full of scratches, and had poor colouring and texture.” Then, there is the little known story of Pennsylvania-based UFO researcher Joan Jeffers who – having read the “T.E. Report” – stated in a letter to Stringfield on February 6, 1979 that she, too, had spoken with a military source who claimed to have seen what sounded suspiciously like the same film – at a “radar facility” in Maine, USA around 1956.
And still further reports reached the eyes and ears of Leonard Stringfield. Two years later, in 1982, Stringfield wrote: “On a tip from Bill Hamilton of Phoenix, Arizona, at the MUFON Symposium in Houston, June, 1980, I was soon in communication with Ms. C.M. of Los Angeles, a successful freelance writer who knew about a secret movie allegedly showing a freshly recovered alien craft with occupants, filmed inside an Air Force hangar. The movie, in color with sound, and of 17 minutes duration, said CM, was in the possession of a person formerly in government service, whom she did not identify…one scene showed the removal of five alien dead bodies.” Despite attempts to cultivate the source to a greater degree, Stringfield was unable to do so. Another film had bitten the dust.
Quite possibly the strangest story of an alleged alien autopsy film involves – in a weird and convoluted way – the late country and western singer, John Denver, who died in a plane crash near Pacific Grove, California on October 12, 1997. Aside from music, Denver’s other big passion was for space travel: he even took, and passed no less, NASA’s physical and mental examination to determine if he was fit enough to cope with the extreme rigours of a journey into space. As a result, plans were made for Denver to travel on the Challenger Space Shuttle. But a twist of fate prevented him from joining the ill-fated January 1986 mission that ended in complete and utter disaster when Challenger exploded shortly after take-off, killing all of the crew. One of those aboard Challenger was astronaut Ellison Onizuka, who had told his close friend, Chris Coffey that, while serving in the U.S. Air Force at McClelland Air Force Base in 1973, he had viewed a piece of black-and-white film footage that showed “alien bodies on a slab” – alien bodies not unlike those said to have been found in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Roswell, it turns out, was John Denver’s home town: he was born there – into an Air Force family, no less – in 1943.
Interestingly, in the same year that Challenger exploded – 1986 - English UFO researcher and author Jenny Randles was approached by a British Army source that she called “Robert,” who claimed to have read – and asserted that he had access to – hundreds of pages of seemingly Top Secret U.S. military files that had been found on classified computer systems at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. Contained within those files, Randles told me in an interview on March 28, 1997, were – according to Robert, at least – photographs that showed aspects of at least one alien autopsy. Randles further informed me that: “…there was a very detailed account that was mostly filled with medical jargon about the autopsy which he didn’t understand, and there was a photograph of this entity with a slit right down the middle from the neck to the navel.” She added: “One of the things Robert said was that the aliens were very human-looking. He said that the head was completely bald, but the most unusual feature of the face was the nose, which was almost flush into the face – almost unnoticeable. Notably, Randles reported: “Bearing in mind, 1986 was years before the autopsy film [from Ray Santilli] surfaced. In fact, the connections with the autopsy film and with what Robert told me are chillingly similar. One of the impressions that you get from the alien autopsy footage is that the body is very human-like; and is around five foot in height. I have to say it struck me as soon as I saw the footage that this was very similar to what Robert had described.”
(Nick Redfern) Deep in Puerto Rico's El Yunque rain-forest could be the end of the puzzle
Keeping that possibility in mind, consider this, too: there is one central theme that runs throughout all of these “alien autopsy film”-related accounts – namely, the apparent and ridiculous ease with which each of the military sources seemingly had access to such apparent Top Secret material. The claim of Santilli’s “cameraman,” that he was able to keep the footage because no-one in the official world ever came to claim it, is both utterly absurd and beyond belief. That Leonard Stringfield’s twenty-year old source, “T.E.,” was openly shown – for no apparent reason that either party could determine – an alleged film of alien bodies laid out on tables also sounds unlikely in the extreme. And, as Jenny Randles told me with specific regard to one aspect of the story related to her by British Army informant, Robert – namely the apparent ease with which supposed classified files and photographs on dead aliens had been made available to him: “I more or less mutually decided that the most likely explanation was that Robert had been set up by someone, and that he really did have this documentation. If it was a hoax, then Robert certainly wasn’t guilty of it. And I’d probably still have to say that today.”
In view of this, we might do well to muse upon the possibility that deep within the bowels of the U.S. Air Force secret film-footage really does exist, and does appear to show the autopsies of one or more diminutive alien bodies. But appearances may be deceiving. We might argue that such footage was faked officially – decades ago, even – to test the loyalty of military personnel: deliberately expose them to such seemingly sensational material and then see if they keep their collective mouths shut in a fashion that is expected of them by their superiors; or watch them closely to see if they confide in their friends, family and the media. If the former: all well and good. If the latter: well, no actual real secrets have been exposed, and those that are found untrustworthy are quickly relegated to cleaning the latrines; or posted to guard-duty in some icy, polar region as punishment. Or, perhaps even, this was all part of a ploy to try and spook the former Soviet Union into believing that the West had access to crashed UFOs, alien bodies, and all of the attendant advanced technology that came with such a finding. History has certainly shown that Cold War psychological warfare operations took some bizarre and unique twists and turns; and history may one day show that the many tales of secret alien autopsy films have more to do with the shenanigans of spies, spooks, disinformation experts, and cigar-chomping Air Force generals than they do with diminutive, black-eyed aliens from the other side of the universe.
How about the legendary Chupacabra? Certainly, many people on Puerto Rico believe the Chupacabras are extraterrestrials and not just unknown animals. Let's have a look at the mystery. There is another reason why I was so intrigued by the potential UFO link to the chupacabra controversy. It was because of something that happened back in 2004. Shortly after the Proof Positive shoot was completed for the SyFy Channel, I spoke with a woman who had her own encounter with a UFO, but in a location where a chupacabra was seen only days later. As Rosario told me, it was early March 2000, and she was working in a grove near the foot of El Yunque where she picked plantains. Her attention was suddenly drawn to a deep, resonating hum, one that was coming from directly above her. Looking up, Rosario was startled to see a black, triangular-shaped object – about 25 to 35 feet in length - that was hovering overhead at a height estimated to be around 90 to 120 feet, and which had a glossy, shiny surface. Surprise and amazement turned to shock when a pencil-thin beam of light shot out of the base of the craft, fanned out, and enveloped Rosario in a pink glow. For what almost seemed like an eternity, Rosario was rooted to the spot, while her mind was flooded with images of widespread nuclear destruction and environmental collapse in the Earth’s near-future. The final image was of a large, bald head with huge, black eyes and that closely resembled the alien face on the cover of Whitley Strieber’s 1987 best-selling book, Communion – which Rosario was inexplicably drawn to read in the immediate aftermath.
Suddenly, the light retracted and the flying triangle rose into the sky, heading slowly towards the heart of the rain forest. Interestingly, in the wake of the encounter, Rosario developed an overwhelming interest in environmental issues, and quite literally overnight – after a lifetime of eating meat – became a staunch advocate of vegetarianism. That was not all: three days later, and only a couple of hundred feet from where Rosario was working on that fateful day, two girls spotted a chupacabra of the bipedal, spiked and decidedly menacing kind. The beast spotted them, too. Evidently, however, it was a monster on a mission, since, after peering at them for a few moments it fell down on all-fours and bounded away into the heavy undergrowth. It was an event that – due to both the time-frame and the proximity – led Rosario to conclude the chupacabra was somehow linked to the UFO phenomenon. And here’s the clincher: she, too, had heard rumors of dead chupacabra, found in a crashed UFO some years earlier that had been secretly taken to Roosevelt Roads.
Also of relevance, while on Puerto Rico in 2005, with Paul Kimball and his Red Star Films crew, our guide, Orlando, was filmed talking about a 1990s-era event in which U.S. military forces reportedly captured several extremely vicious Chupacabra in El Yunque. What happened to them, beyond first being held at Roosevelt Roads and then flown on to the United States - in secure cages, aboard a military aircraft - is unknown. And then there was that 2010 story of alleged, classified experiments undertaken on monkeys and apes in an underground facility at the base that I described earlier. Was this all nothing stranger than modern day folklore in the making? Or, could it have been the cold, stark truth? That Puerto Rico is hiding the bodies of dead aliens?
Now, to the U.K. Without doubt, the expert on this complicated story is Andy Roberts; he’s a long-time researcher of UFOs and numerous other anomalies. As for what happened in January 1974, Andy says: “Prehistoric man lived and worshipped on the mountains leaving behind him a dramatic, ritual landscape dotted with stone circles…Folklore tells us that these mountains are haunted by many types of aerial phenomena, including the spectral Hounds of Hell: those who saw them recalled how they flew through the night sky baying as though pursued by Satan himself. To the south of the Berwyn’s at, Llanrhaedr-ym-Mochnant, the locals were plagued by a ‘flying dragon’ – intriguingly, a common name for UFOs in times gone by.” He continues: “It is against this backdrop of history and myth that on the evening of January 23, 1974 an event took place on the Berwyn Mountains that was to perplex locals and spawned a veritable cascade of rumours, culminating in a claim that, if true, would irrevocably change our view of history and make us revise our plans for the future of both our planet and our species. The claim was that a UFO piloted by extraterrestrials crashed, or was shot down, on the mountain known as Cadair Berwyn and that the alien crew, some still alive, were whisked off to a secret military installation in the south of England for study.”
The witnesses speak: certainly, something happened on the Berwyn Mountains at approximately 8:30 p.m. on that famous night. No-one disputes that: it’s the nature of the events that provoke most of the debate. Anne Williams, of Bro Diham, Landrillo, recalled: “I saw this bright light hanging in the sky. It had a long fiery tale which seemed to be motionless for several minutes, going dim and then very brilliant, like a dormant fire which keeps coming to life. It would have been like an electric bulb in shape, except that it seemed to have rough edges. Then fell somewhere behind the hills at the back of my bungalow and the earth shook.” Police Constable Gwilym – off-duty at the time and knocking back a beer or a few in the local Dudley Arms pub - had something to say, too: “There was a great roar and a bang and the glasses shook. The sky was lit up over the mountains. The color was yellowish but other people in the valley described seeing blue lights.” Police Sergeant Gwyn Williams stated: “The walls shook and the mirror swung away from the wall,” he recalled. “My first thought was that a big lorry had hit the cinema – it was that kind of a roar and bang. Everyone ran into the street.” Around an hour-and-a-half later, what was described as a huge “luminous sphere” was seen by Ken Haughton, at a height of around 15,000 feet in the sky. He said that it seemed to fall vertically into the sea near to the town of Rhyl.
That strange lights had been seen maneuvering in the skies, and the fact that the ground shook to a major degree, inevitably provoked fears that an aircraft – or, possibly, something exotic and unearthly - had crashed somewhere on the vast mountains on that winter’s night. It’s no surprise, then, that on the early morning of the 24th a Royal Air Force emergency rescue team – operating out of the RAF Valley base – carefully scoured the Berwyns from overhead. They came away completely blank: there was no evidence of any kind of crash having occurred. There was no debris, no fires on the mountains, and no mangled bodies, human or otherwise. The entire thing was a mystery. Much ado about nothing? A very non-mysterious theory was put forward by the authorities: what some believed to have been a crash of something from the skies was actually an earth tremor. That does make some sense: it would have been very easy to mistake the effects of a small earthquake for a large object slamming into the ground. But, what of those lights that were seen in the skies – and at just about the same time? One theory was that they were actually the lamps of men out on the hills hunting for hares. Or, that there had been a meteorite shower – which there actually was.
(Nick Redfern) Alien autopsies in the U.K.'s highly sensitive and secret facility, Porton Down
Not everyone was buying into this wholly-down-to-earth picture, however. A letter was fired off to the staff of the Wrexham Leader newspaper by a fairly irate soul, who wrote: “Regarding your front page article ‘Mystery Tremor’ in the issue of January 25, I find the explanation given absolutely ludicrous. The tremors shook houses over a 60-mile radius, and the lights were seen clearly miles away – this was reported by the national press and radio. I know nothing about ‘Hare hunting’ but unless the hunters use aircraft searchlights and kill their prey by lobbing a small atom bomb at them, then I fail to see how anyone can accept such an explanation.” For many, it was all a huge – and almost unique – coincidence provoked by those lamps, the meteorite shower, and an earth tremor that was powerful enough to shake homes and cause windows to shatter. All in relatively close proximity to each other. And all at around the same time. You can easily see why more than a few people might have chosen to use one word to describe the chaos on the mountains: “Hmmmmm.”
The coincidence angle is broadly the theory that Andy Roberts goes with. Indeed, Andy wrote an entire book on the subject - and from the perspective of everything being very much UFO-absent. Its title: UFO Down? The Berwyn Mountain UFO Crash. It should be read by one and all. While the U.K.’s ufologists of the 1970s were briefly excited by what happened – the possibility of a UFO presence in the area, and maybe even the crash of an extraterrestrial craft – it wasn’t too long before life returned to normality in the area and the incident was eventually relegated to the status of a local legend and not much more. Except, that is, for those ufologists who just couldn’t let it go: a number of articles were written on the subject in the 1970s and 1980s. It wasn’t until 1996, however, that the story was resurrected in a big-time fashion. From the shadows comes an insider source
We now come to what I suspect is the most significant part of this whole story – that of a connection between the Berwyns Mountains events and the experiments that occurred in Rendlesham Forest. While I think that Andy Roberts gave the UFO research community a highly plausible scenario for what happened on January 23, 1974, there is data out there that makes me conclude there were things far stranger than just meteorites in the sky on that dark night. We’re talking about phenomena that closely parallels what was perfected at the Edgewood Arsenal in the 1960s: controlled ball lightning. In 1996, a military whistleblower came forward, claiming that aliens had crashed on the Berwyn Mountains back in January 1974. The pummeled bodies of the dead crew were said to have been secretly rushed to Porton Down, for hasty examination and even hastier preservation. As is so typically often the case in such situations, the source chose not to provide his name to the UFO research community of the day. He preferred to lurk in the darkness, shrouded in mystery and intrigue. He shared his story only with Tony Dodd, who was a North Yorkshire police sergeant and UFO investigator. Dodd chose to give his talkative soldier the alias of “James Prescott,” who was said by Dodd to have been long-retired from the British Army.
“I cannot named my unit or barracks, as they are still operational,” Prescott told Dodd. Prescott did, though, admit that his base at the time was situated in the south-west of England, which – as the crow flies – may have placed his installation not too far from Porton Down. In a very baffling way - and although the incident on the Berwyn Mountains occurred on January 23, 1974 - Prescott and his colleagues were ordered to be on “stand-by at short notice” on January 18. That was five days before the Berwyns were briefly highlighted in the nation’s newspapers. Prescott got right into the heart of the story: “We then received orders to proceed with speed towards North Wales. We were halted in Chester in readiness for a military exercise we believed was about to take place. On 20 January, the communication to us was ‘hot.’ At approximately 20:13 hours we received orders to proceed to Llangollen in North Wales and to wait at that point.”
According to Prescott there was a huge amount of “ground and aircraft activity” over and around those huge mountains. Remember, this was still January 20, according to Prescott – three days before the ground shook those little old villages at the foot of the mountains. Prescott said that on that same night he and his colleagues were given further orders: “We, that is myself and four others, were ordered to go to Llandderfel and were under strict orders not to stop for any civilians,” claimed Prescott. On arriving at Llandderfel - a small, Welsh village - they could see soldiers racing around. Senior officers were barking orders here, there and everywhere. Aircraft were zooming across the star-filled sky. And all of this was against a background of overwhelming darkness. Prescott and his colleagues were ordered to haul a pair of large, wooden boxes onto the back of their truck, which they did in rapid-fire time. According to Prescott: “We set off with our cargo and during the journey we stopped to get a drink. We were immediately approached by a man in civilian clothes, who produced an I.D. card and ordered us to keep moving, and not to stop until we reached our destination.”
Matters got really weird, as Prescott explained to Dodd: “We were at this time warned not to open the boxes, but to proceed to Porton Down and deliver the boxes. Once inside, the boxes were opened by staff at the facility in our presence. We were shocked to see two creatures which had been placed inside decontamination suits. When the suits were fully opened it was obvious the creatures were clearly not of this world and, when examined, were found to be dead. What I saw in the boxes that day made me change my whole concept of life. The bodies were about five to six feet tall, humanoid in shape, but so thin they looked almost skeletal with a covering skin. Although I did not see a craft at the scene of the recovery, I was informed that a large craft had crashed and was recovered by other military units. Sometime later we joined up with the other elements of our unit, who informed us that they had also transported bodies of ‘alien beings’ to Porton Down, but said that their cargo was still alive.”
The big problem in all of this, however, is that it's very difficult to get your hands on a dead alien. Of course, if we could do such a thing, then we would have everything we needed.

The Washington Nationals: Unexplained Phenomena in 1952 or Extraterrestrial Encounters?
Watch the Unexplained with Howard Hughes, from 10pm every Sunday night on Talk TV.
In July of 1952, Washington, D.C. experienced not one, but two sets of unusual sightings and contacts. The events captivated the public's attention, and now, author Kevin Randle has released an updated version of his book, "The Washington Nationals," which delves into the parallels between the sightings in 1952 and the current fascination with UFOs.
He argues that there are striking similarities between the way these events were handled then and now, highlighting the need for a more thorough and unified investigation into these phenomena.
The first edition of Randle's book explored the sightings that occurred over Washington, D.C. in 1952, shedding light on the attempts to understand and explain the unexplained. The updated version of the book was motivated by the renewed interest in UFOs and the focus on more recent cases. However, Randall believes that it is crucial to revisit these early cases to gain insight into what was happening at the time and how it relates to current events.
One of the key observations Randle makes is the lack of progress in investigating these phenomena. He suggests that obstacles are often placed in the way, hindering thorough investigations.
Unprecedented Discovery: UFO Fragments Found In Pacific Ocean? | The Unexplained With Howard Hughes
In a ground-breaking discovery, scientists claim to have recovered material that originated outside of our solar system for the first time in history. A team of researchers led by Harvard physicist Professor Avi Loeb recovered metal fragments from the Pacific Ocean in June, which they believe came from interstellar space. The fragments were found to have compositions that do not match any known natural or man-made alloys, leading to speculation that they could be remnants of an alien craft.
During their expedition, the team found approximately 700 tiny metallic spheres, with 57 of them being analysed. These spheres, roughly the size of a grain of sand, were found on the ocean floor about two kilometres deep.
The composition of these spheres included elements such as beryllium, lanthanum, and uranium, which have concentrations that are several hundred times higher than what is found in solar system materials. This confirms that the object came from outside the solar system, although it remains unclear whether it was of natural or artificial origin.
In light of this discovery, the U.S. Department of Defence has launched a website dedicated to providing publicly available information on unidentified anomalous phenomena, also known as UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).
This move signifies a growing interest in investigating and understanding such phenomena at a higher level. It also suggests that the government may possess materials related to these phenomena and have programs aimed at retrieving and reverse engineering them.
While the new website aims to bring more transparency to the information surrounding UAPs, not all details will be immediately declassified. However, it represents a step toward acknowledging and addressing the existence of unidentified anomalous phenomena.

The Weakening Of The Polar Vortex Is Leading Us Towards A New Ice Age!
The Stratospheric Polar Vortex, a term that has often, though inaccurately, gained media attention in recent years, is a seasonal high-altitude atmospheric structure that forms in autumn, consolidates in winter, and dissolves in spring. Its developments and shifts from the vertical axis of polar latitudes are often responsible for sudden changes in tropospheric circulation. Variations that, especially in recent years, have led to the abrupt spread of polar air towards mid-latitudes.
The polar vortex, as we will see, is a structure present on other planets as well. In the past, it has played a fundamental role in shaping Earth's climatic history, particularly in the last 2.5 million years, characterized by a sequence of recurring glacial periods and shorter interglacial periods.
Today, thanks to the whims of the polar vortex, we have the fortune (or misfortune) of occasionally experiencing what the average climate conditions were like during the last glacial maximum. We can temporarily return to the conditions that prevailed on Earth 20,000 years ago.
But there's a danger lurking – the possibility that over time (some suggest within a couple of decades at most), the polar vortex might collapse definitively, leading us not to just occasional adventurous cold weeks, but to a permanent ice age!

The Enigma of the Kecksburg UFO Crash: 1965’s Unsolved Mystery
The Enigma of the Kecksburg UFO Crash: 1965’s Unsolved Mystery
It was a cold evening on December 9, 1965, when the skies over Kecksburg, Pennsylvania,were split open by a mysterious fireball. Spectacular streaks of light punctuated the heavens, visible not just in Pennsylvania but also across several U.S. states and even into Canada. For many, it was perhaps a fleeting moment of celestial grandeur, but for the residents of Kecksburg, it was the beginning of a decades-long puzzle that would involve military personnel, scientists, UFO investigators, and conspiracy theorists. This event, known as the Kecksburg UFO incident, remains one of the most mysterious and debated UFO occurrences in history.
A Fiery Descent
People who saw the object claim it appeared as a fiery ball with a tail, moving across the sky in a way that clearly differentiated it from a typical meteor. Eyewitnesses reported that the object seemed to navigate and change direction, finally crashing into the woods near the small town. Within hours, the area became the center of frenetic activity. Military trucks and personnel arrived swiftly, cordoning off the area and barring curious locals from the crash site.
The Acorn-Shaped Object
Those who managed to catch a glimpse of the crashed object described it as acorn-shaped, roughly the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, adorned with markings and symbols reminiscent of hieroglyphics. It certainly wasn’t a typical aircraft, and the official explanation—that it was a meteorite—did not align with these witness accounts. Here is where the mystery deepens. According to reports, military personnel quickly removed the object and transported it to an undisclosed location.
The Cover-Up
Whispers of a cover-up began to circulate almost immediately. Government agencies appeared reticent to discuss the event openly. Initial reports by the Air Force suggested that nothing had been found, contrary to eyewitness accounts of military trucks carrying away a large object covered in tarp. The military later changed their statement, claiming what fell was a Russian satellite or space debris, yet no fragments were shown to the public to validate this.
Theories and Explanations
Numerous theories have been floated over the years. Some believe the object was an experimental military aircraft. Others suggest that it might be the remnants of the failed Soviet Venus probe, Kosmos 96. A more exotic theory posits that the object was an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
The Nazi Bell Connection
A fringe theory even connects the Kecksburg incident with the alleged Nazi secret project known as “Die Glocke” (The Bell), a device described as bell-shaped and said to have time-warping capabilities. The story goes that the technology was seized by the U.S. under Operation Paperclip and was being tested in secret.
The Roswell Connection
Conspiracy theorists often draw parallels between the Kecksburg and the infamous Roswell incident of 1947. In both cases, unidentified objects crashed, the military swiftly arrived, and the events were shrouded in secrecy.
Decades of Quest for Truth
Over the years, numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests have been filed, documentaries have been produced, and investigations have been conducted by organizations such as the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Despite these efforts, no definitive explanation has emerged. The scant documents that have been released are often heavily redacted, fueling further speculation.
Humanizing the Unsolved
Amidst all the conspiracy theories and government statements, it’s easy to forget the human element. For the residents of Kecksburg, the incident is not merely a fascinating enigma; it’s a part of their community’s folklore. Families pass down stories of that mysterious evening as a cherished, albeit perplexing, part of their heritage. For them, the unanswered questions are not just matters of scientific or conspiratorial interest, but pieces of a communal memory that may hold profound implications about our place in the universe.

The Mysterious Kecksburg UFO Crash Incident in 1965
The Kecksburg UFO incident is like a rich, intricately designed tapestry of mysteries, woven from threads of scientific puzzles, government secrecy, and human curiosity. Whether a space probe, an experimental aircraft, or something far more otherworldly, the object that fell that fateful evening in 1965 remains a haunting enigma. Until the day more conclusive evidence is unearthed, the skies over Kecksburg will continue to harbor an unsolved riddle, inviting us all to look up and wonder.
Is it a story spun from half-truths and deceptions, or is it a breadcrumb in humanity’s ongoing quest to understand what lies beyond our Earthly realm? Only time, and perhaps further disclosure, will tell.
Guys this sightings is really odd. I admit I not seen many sightings like this over the years. A few in the north arctic region, but this is just confusing. Its over California, one of the busiest states in the US and the line looks huge about 15-25 meters long. Similar craft have been seen on the side over airports in China, but this is vertical. I know UFOs can go from horizontal to vertical without having gravity within the craft affected (1960s Friendship Case, Italy) but this is some serous showing off by aliens.

Einstein’s Student Dr. Wright Scientist Witnesses Roswell Alien Survivor: Startling Revelation of Underground Existence
The Enigma of Dr. Wright: A Glimpse into the World of Extraterrestrial Contact
In a realm of science where most shy away from delving into the inexplicable, Dr. Shirley Jean Wright PhD (8/19/1929 – 7/1/2015) stands as an anomaly. Not just any scientist, Wright had the extraordinary privilege of working with Albert Einstein during his early academic years. His story takes us far beyond the realm of nuclear chemistry into something truly otherworldly: an encounter with extraterrestrial beings.
Working with Einstein: An Unforgettable Experience
In his youth, Wright had the unparalleled opportunity to work with none other than Albert Einstein. The experience was part of a summer program in nuclear chemistry. Sponsored either by the government or a university grant—Wright isn’t quite sure anymore—this program aimed to gather the country’s brightest minds. Here, he was a “special student” under the mentorship of Einstein, a position that could make any academic career. But the mystique of Dr. Wright’s narrative doesn’t end with the chalk and spectacles of the university classroom.
A High-Stakes Security Clearance
Wright once had a security clearance, although he can’t remember the specific name or classification. The clearance allowed him access to top-secret information, but what was most intriguing was that he never felt the need for such a high level of clearance afterward. Even though he published papers with esteemed bodies like the National Academy of Science, he never again entered the world of classified information. That is, except for one unforgettable experience that transcends the normal boundaries of science.
Contact: Not of This World
Dr. Wright recalls an extraordinary event where he was somehow involved in the contact with extraterrestrial beings from the Roswell Incident. The beings, nine in to
tal, were unlike anything known to humanity. They had enormous eyes, almost brown-black, and lacked noticeable pupils. Their bodies were a grayish-green, slim, and lean, with peculiar facial features that included markings instead of a nose.

The beings wore suits of an unknown fabric, designed without any recognizable fasteners, zippers, or ties. The suits included an insignia, puzzlingly located in the middle rather than the side where one might expect a badge or emblem.
Questions Left Unanswered
Despite the high-stakes situation, the scientists, including Dr. Wright, tread carefully when questioning these beings. Concerned about offending or antagonizing them, the team managed to learn only that these extraterrestrials lived partly subterranean and found humans “very odd.” However, the beings were cryptic about their methods of procreation and were “limited in what they felt was appropriate to tell.”
One lingering question that emerged was whether these beings intended to maintain contact with Earth. According to Wright, they “very definitely” did but seemed to have already discounted Earth as a less desirable destination.
An Unparalleled Tale
In his interview, Dr. Wright navigates from the halls of academic prestige to the enigmatic corridors of extraterrestrial contact. His account, while leaving us with more questions than answers, opens a door to the limitless possibilities that extend beyond our world.
So, where does this leave us? Wright’s extraordinary narrative expands our understanding of what science, in its purest form, can strive to investigate: the unfathomable. While most of the world ponders over life’s terrestrial issues, let’s take a moment to ponder over Dr. Wright’s unforgettable experiences, which compel us to look toward the stars, and maybe, just maybe, receive a glimpse of the unimaginable.
The Truth Is Out There: National Archives Unveils a Trove of Digitized UFO Records
The Truth Is Out There: National Archives Unveils a Trove of Digitized UFO Records
In recent times, the subject of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, has transcended the realm of conspiracy theories to become a topic of national discussion. And now, with the National Archives digitizing tens of thousands of pages related to UFO sightings and investigations, you no longer need to don a tinfoil hat or hack into classified files to peek into the mysteries of the extraterrestrial. You just need a computer and an internet connection.
A Step Toward Transparency
The National Archives has undertaken the herculean task of bringing decades-old paper records into the digital age, including rare sketches, black and white photographs, and, yes, original films of the famed Roswell incident. The effort represents a significant shift toward government transparency on the subject, even as questions persist about how many documents remain classified.
The Roswell Files: Not Just a Hollywood Blockbuster
You’ve probably heard of Roswell—the incident that inspired countless books, movies, and TV shows. But now, thanks to the Archives, you can view original films of the 1947 Roswell incident, previously only available at an archival facility outside Washington, D.C. What’s especially noteworthy is that these aren’t dramatized Hollywood versions but official Air Force footage, offering a peek into the government’s perspective on what was officially described as debris from tests of covert weather balloons.
A Glimpse Back in Time: Project Blue Book
According to Chris Naylor, a research services executive, the archive will also include files from Project Blue Book, a U.S. Air Force program operational from 1947 to 1969. The project was responsible for receiving, documenting, and investigating UFO reports. Among these files is a captivating 1950s amateur sketch of egg-shaped discs flying over the Baltimore night sky—a sighting witnessed by an entire neighborhood and still unexplained decades later. Another photograph, from 1969, turned out to depict not an alien spaceship but a rare cloud formation.
Today’s Mysteries: The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office
Though the Archives provide a valuable historical context, it’s essential to note that UFO phenomena are still under investigation. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office inside the Pentagon is tasked with collecting and investigating modern-day reports. How many of these newer reports remain classified is unknown, but the digitization of older documents could pressure the government to disclose more recent findings.
Public Impact: Stigma, Scrutiny, and Speculation
The Archive’s new online accessibility could change the cultural conversation around UFOs in significant ways:
Reduced Stigma: Greater transparency could help lessen the ridicule or disbelief often associated with reporting UFO sightings.
Increased Scrutiny: With open access, the public can engage in a detailed examination of these files, potentially identifying overlooked clues or inconsistencies.
Fuel for Speculation: Of course, increased transparency comes with its downsides—wild theories and speculation may find new life in the broader discussion.

With the National Archives aiming to complete the digitization by the end of the year and tens of thousands more documents slated for online access by 2024, one thing is certain: the conversation around UFOs is about to get a lot more interesting. And who knows? Maybe, just maybe, the truth really is out there, waiting for us to find it.
So, the next time you find yourself gazing at the night sky, pondering the existence of extraterrestrial life, remember: you can now search “UFO” in the National Archives online catalog to add a little factual flair to your cosmic curiosity.

An eyewitness saw a glowing craft moving slowly through the Aurora in Quebec last night. The aurora has had several sightings over the years of UFOs both big and small getting caught in photos. I feel the energy release by the planet causing the aurora is of highly scientific interest to aliens so UFOs may be accidentally caught in some videos and photos. It the future, the most valuable commodity, will be knowledge.
We were watching northen lights and my niece was taking pictures with her phone. There was no clouds. We saw some satellites mouvements, some planes going by (blue and red flashing lights) and a few shooting stars. Around 23h00, I saw a big star like LIGHT moving slowly downwards and I said look at the shooting star but I realised that it was mutch slower, a lot brighter and the movement lasted for around 15 seconds and then just disapear. There was no trails, the LIGHT just fainted rapidly. Then my niece was showing me pictures of the northen lights and I told her that she catched the LIGHT on one of her picture. When she zoomed on the light, it looked like 3 light togeteher. So we tought it was a bizare event.

An eyewitness caught sight of two glowing objects over Plymouth UK a few months ago. The glowing objects had no wings, no contrail, no windows or any indication of being any known aircraft. These glowing white spheres are the most common type of UFO, and were called foo fighters back in WW1 and WW2 when they were seen flying next to the fighter planes around England. Aliens are getting more and more bold about being seen by humans. I guess they too know, the US gov is now taking steps to reveal the truth to the public, so they too will do their part.

Eyewitness states:
Every evening I go to the moor, dartmoor, plymouth side and this night 2 cigar shaped objects flew through the sky one after the other, they were definable not drones or any aircraft as I have never seen anything like this before they were cigar shaped with and glowing white at first but could see a lilac purple colour changing from the light, I have a video and photo footage as it took us by surprise, they were totally silent and the edges of the objects you can see what looks like it's got some sort of energy pulsing from them but not pulsing light, these objects were definitely not helicopter or planes or drones as I observe these regularly sitting on the moor, these was like nothing I've ever seen before.

The Spinning Daytime UFO Over Sydney Harbor: A Deep Dive into Jodee Knowles’ Stunning Footage
UFO sightings have always captivated the human imagination. From ancient history to modern times, mysterious aerial phenomena never fail to mystify us. And when a daytime UFO is captured on camera in a bustling location like Sydney Harbor in Australia, you know the buzz is real. In this fascinating story, we unravel the details of the stunning UFO footage shot by artist Jodee Knowles. Not only did this footage send ripples across UFO enthusiasts worldwide, but it also happens to align with Jodee’s new exhibition about unidentified aerial objects.
The Sighting: What We Know
On May 20, 2022, passengers on the ferry from Manly to Sydney had their daily commute turned into a moment of cosmic wonder. Artist Jodee Knowles, who was on the ferry, managed to capture the phenomenon on camera. The video reveals a bright, metallic sphere-like object hanging in the midday sky. Not only was this UFO dazzling in its luminance, but it also appeared to be spinning, adding a layer of complexity to the already puzzling sighting.
Why Daytime UFO Sightings are Exceptional
Most UFO sightings occur under the cover of darkness, leaving room for skepticism and attributions to natural phenomena like stars or aircraft. However, a daytime UFO leaves less room for such explanations. The bright, metallic, and spinning nature of the object over Sydney Harbor has left even skeptics scratching their heads. It defies easy categorization and demands our attention.

If you’re intrigued by mysterious aerial phenomena, stay tuned for more updates and exclusive insights into the world of UFO sightings.
The US government is notoriously secretive when it comes to sharing what it knows about extraterrestrial life.
But in a possible bid for transparency, the Department of Defense has released a new document disclosing the 'world's UFO hotspots'.
It includes a map disclosing where the most sightings of unidentified objects have been recorded, based on reports between 1996 and 2023.
The map comes shortly after a Pentagon chief admitted that hundreds of mysterious objects have been spotted 'all over the world.'
Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), said: 'We see these ['metallic orbs'] all over the world, and we see these making very interesting apparent manoeuvres.'

The US government is notoriously secretive when it comes to sharing information about UFOs, but the Department of Defense's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which was set up last year, now has a website with updates
Senganmori mountain lies just south-east of the city of Fukushima, famous for a nuclear disaster in 2011
The map reveals Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan, the east and west coasts of the US including California, as well as parts of the Middle East are all hotspots for UFO sightings.
Revealing that Japan and a region of the Middle East – including Iraq and Syria – are UFO hotspots may surprise enthusiasts who commonly associate sightings with the US.
In particular, the map identifies a region in the south-west of the country, covering the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima – which were famously the targets of US nuclear strikes in 1945.
Another one of the Japanese hotspots is the small community of Iinomachi in Fukushima Prefecture, which has been referred to as 'UFO Town'.
Iinomachi has been decked out with extraterrestrial-themed decorations in an effort to drawn fans and promote itself as a 'home to aliens'.
It is also the base of a research institute called the International UFO Lab, opened in 2021 and headed by alien enthusiast Takeharu Mikami.
In June this year, the International UFO Lab released six images of 'likely UFOs', the Japan Times reported, taken in Kobe and Fukushima among other regions.
They were narrowed down from a total of 494 reports it received from people in Japan and abroad in one year, although most appeared to be of drones, birds or just reflections.

What is AARO?
The map and other data has been released in a document from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
AARO was formed in July 2022 within the US Office of the Secretary of Defense (part of the Department of Defense).
It is specifically tasked with investigating unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and other unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
The webite will provide the public with information about AARO and its 'efforts to understand and resolve unidentified anomalous phenomena'.
'This website will provide information, including photos and videos, on resolved UAP cases as they are declassified and approved for public release,' it says.
The unveiling of the website may reflect increased efforts from the US government to be less secretive about UFO activity.
In a statement last week, Department of Defense officials said the site would shows how 'committed' the Pentagon is to 'transparency with the American people'
He testified under oath that the Pentagon had first-hand encounters or knowledge about secret government programmes involving technology that is 'non-human'.
'My testimony is based on information I've been given by individuals with a long-standing track record of legitimacy,' he said.
'[They] have shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation and classified oral testimony to myself and many various colleagues.'
He also claimed the US government has 'intact and partially intact' extraterrestrial vehicles, although he provided no evidence to support that or any of his other assertions.
His remarks, however, were condemned by the head of the Pentagon's UFO office, Sean Kirkpatrick, who is a laser and materials physicist.
Kirkpatrick slammed Grusch's claims about alleged secret programs that retrieve crashed UFOs and reverse engineer the technology as 'insulting'.
Former intelligence official said the DoD is covering up evidence related to extraterrestrials
The US government has been forced to take the presence of unidentified flying objects more seriously in recent months.
Former intelligence official David Grusch testified under oath in July that the Pentagon had first-hand encounters or knowledge of secret government programmes involving technology that is 'non-human'.
'My testimony is based on information I've been given by individuals with a long-standing track record of legitimacy... whom have shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation and classified oral testimony to myself and many various colleagues,' Grusch said, adding that he was driven to share by a 'commitment to truth and transparency.'
Its release comes come roughly a month after David Grusch claimed the Pentagon is covering up evidence related to extraterrestrials in a bombshell testimony before Congress
'I am asking Congress to hold our government to this standard and thoroughly investigate these claims,' he told lawmakers at the time. 'But as I stand here under oath now, I am speaking to the facts as I have been told them.'
He told the committee that he and more than 30 aircrew members and veterans had experience of UAPs, unidentified anomalous phenomena, along with members of Congress who have confided in him.
He also claimed the government has 'intact and partially intact' extraterrestrial vehicles, although he provided no evidence to support that or any of his other assertions.
Suggesting the American people had been left in the dark for nearly a century, he claimed the first recovery of a UFO was in Magenta, Italy, in 1933.

He said Mussolini's Italian government held it until 1944 through 1945 when Pope Pius XII tipped America off about it.
When asked if he firmly believes the government had UAPs, Grusch responded: 'Absolutely.'
He said his view was based on interviews with at least 40 witnesses.
Asked where the craft are, he said: 'I know the exact locations and those locations were provided to the inspector general ... I actually had the people with the first-hand knowledge provide a protected disclosure to the Inspector General.'
He further claimed he has faced brutal retaliation after coming forward about his firsthand accounts of UFOs.
'I do have knowledge of active planned reprisal activity against myself and other colleagues,' Grusch said.
'There were certain colleagues of mine that were brutally administratively attacked. It makes me very upset as a leader to see that happen to other co-workers and superiors of mine in the last three years.'

Ever wondered where UFO sightings occur the most? Hold onto your hats, because the U.S. Department of Defense has just released a new interactive map that places two historic Japanese cities—Hiroshima and Nagasaki—right at the heart of global UFO sightings. This eye-opening revelation comes from the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and it’s reshaping conversations about unidentified flying objects, or as the military prefers to call them, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs).
What is AARO?
Before we dive into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of UFO sightings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, let’s first discuss the role of AARO. This office is responsible for investigating, collecting, and sharing information about UAPs. Their mission has increasingly gained traction as more officials in the U.S. Congress demand transparency on UFO-related matters for national security reasons. It seems the public’s endless fascination with extraterrestrial life forms and unidentified flying objects has finally found an authoritative outlet.
Japan’s “UFO Town”
It’s not just Hiroshima and Nagasaki that have a UFO story to tell. Iinomachi, located in Japan’s Fukushima province, is colloquially known as “UFO Town.” Local authorities have seized the opportunity to attract UFO enthusiasts by installing themed bus shelters and street lights. Even the International UFO Lab has released images of “likely UFOs,” sparking further speculation. In this context, it’s perhaps not so surprising that the Pentagon’s data has identified Japan as a hotspot for UFO sightings.
Why Hiroshima and Nagasaki? That’s a question many are asking. These cities are historically significant, being the first and only to experience atomic bombings. This prompts an intriguing question: Could the atomic events have left some form of “signal” that interests extraterrestrial beings?
UFOs in the Global Spotlight
The AARO’s map also indicates other major hotspots around the world, including the Middle East and the southeastern United States. This points to a global phenomenon that might be more complex than what current technology and science can explain. In a statement, AARO’s director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, emphasized that the organization has found “no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology, or objects that defy the known laws of physics.”

Beyond National Security
UFO sightings have moved from fringe conspiracy theories to mainstream political discourse in the United States. The revelations about Hiroshima and Nagasaki add another layer to this evolving narrative. If anything, the Pentagon’s recent data is not just about unidentified flying objects but also about the constant quest for understanding phenomena that currently defy explanation.
The AARO’s new website serves as a hub for all things UAP, providing a treasure trove of declassified photos, videos, and reports. Although the site currently accepts sightings only from military and governmental personnel, it may eventually become a one-stop-shop for all UFO-related reports.
Conny Waters - AncientPages.com - During excavations of an ancestral sod house on the shore of Karluk Lake, Kodiak Island, Alaska, archaeologists uncovered rare fragments of woven grass artifacts estimated to be 3,000 years old.
The fragments, which appear to be pieces of mats, are the oldest well-documented examples of Kodiak Alutiiq/Sugpiaq weaving.

“We were excavating a sod house beside Karluk Lake as part of a broader study to understand how Alutiiq people used Kodiak’sinterior,” said Saltonstall. “When we reached the floor, we discovered that the house had burned and collapsed.
The walls of the structure, which were lined with wood, fell into the building and covered a portion of the floor. This sealed the floor quickly and limited burning. As we removed the remains of the walls, we were surprised and excited to find fragments of charred weaving. It looks like the house had grass mats on the floor. The pieces covered about a two-meter area at the back of the house, perhaps in an area for sleeping,” Alutiiq Museum Curator of Archaeology Patrick Saltonstall explained in a press release.
Weaving is a long-practiced Alutiiq art, but one that is difficult to document archaeologically as fiber artifacts are fragile and rarely preserved. The Alutiiq Museum’s extensive archaeological collections contain grass and spruce root baskets that are as much as 600 years old but nothing older.

The house that produced the weavings was radiocarbon-dated to about 3,000 years old. The style of the structure and artifacts found in association support this determination.
“It is likely that our ancestors worked with plant fibers for millennia, from the time they arrived on Kodiak 7500 years ago,” said April Laktonen Counceller, the museum’s executive director.
“It makes sense. Plants are abundant and easily harvested, and they are excellent materials for making containers, mats, and other useful items. It’s just very hard to document this practice. This wonderful find extends our knowledge of Alutiiq weaving back an additional 2400 years.”
Close inspection of the woven fragments shows that their makerslaid down long parallel strands of grass (the warp) and then secured them with perpendicular rows of twining (the weft)spaced about an inch apart.
This technique created an open weave, also found in historic examples of Alutiiq grass matting. Small fragments of more complicated braiding may represent the finished edge of a mat. The field crew carefully lifted the fragile woven fragments off the floor of the sod house and placed them in a specially made box for transport back to Kodiak and the Alutiiq Museum’slaboratory.

Here, they will be preserved, documented, and made available for study as a loan from Koniag—the regional Alaska Native Corporation for Kodiak Alutiiq people and the sponsor of the research. The corporation owns the land on which the excavation took and has been generously supporting archaeological studies in the region.
“Discoveries like these highlight our Alutiiq people’s innovation and resilience,” said Koniag President Shauna Hegna.“Koniag is humbled to partner with the Alutiiq Museum on critical projects like this.”
