New England’s UFO Enigma Unveiled! From Historical Sightings to Modern Day Mysteries – Dive In Now! 🌌 #UFOSightings

UFO sightings have been a global phenomenon for decades, sparking intrigue, debates, and countless theories. New England, in particular, has turned into a hotspot for such unexplained aerial phenomena. As the frequency of sightings increases, researchers scramble to find explanations, diving deep into the history of this region to uncover patterns and truths.

A Rising Trend in New England

Recent investigations have brought forward a startling trend: UFO sightings in New England have skyrocketed by almost 300% in the last decade alone. Fairfield, Connecticut, has particularly caught the eye of enthusiasts with its mysterious sightings. Just a stone’s throw away from Auburn, Massachusetts, a video has surfaced showcasing a fast-moving object flying past a house in broad daylight.

The Quest for Clarity

Ben, an avid UFO researcher, took it upon himself to scrutinize this peculiar video. Aiming to deconstruct its mysteries, he collaborated with renowned video analyst Marc D’Antonio. Their combined expertise pointed to multiple anomalies in the video. Rather than just a single UFO, the video might have captured a swarm of them in the background. Notably, these UFOs bore a shade of yellow, consistent with other reported sightings in the region.

A Glimpse into the Past

Digging into the past uncovers an even deeper mystery. New England’s history with UFOs goes way back, with sightings being reported as early as the 1950s. One particular case stands out: Frank Woolley, a lieutenant colonel, reported witnessing a white object hovering in the sky above him in the Hartford area. Woolley’s sighting was just the beginning of what would become a series of unexplained events in the region.

Could Magnetic Anomalies Be a Clue?

Interestingly, local experts believe that New England’s magnetic anomalies might play a role. Recent NASA findings suggest the existence of magnetic bubbles in our solar system, which some speculate could serve as beacons for extraterrestrial beings. Could these UFOs be following a cosmic map leading them straight to Earth?

The Evolution of UFO Technology

Researchers like Brian Bowden, a historian with over 40 years of experience in UFO and paranormal research, suggest that while the nature of the beings might not have changed, their crafts have evolved over time. The earlier reports from the ’50s and ’60s predominantly featured the iconic flying saucer. However, recent sightings point more towards luminous orbs or intelligently controlled lights.

The rise in UFO sightings, particularly in New England, presents a plethora of questions waiting to be answered. As technology advances and more evidence surfaces, one can only hope that the enigma surrounding these events will soon be unveiled.

Cosmic Top Secret: Ex-USAF CSM Said Earth Is Under Survey Of High-Tech E.T. Cultures

If Robert O. Dean’s claims about UFOs and extraterrestrials are true then they have the potential to turn the world upside down. His credibility cannot be questioned as he worked at NATO headquarter from 1963 to 1967. He claimed to have come across the 1964 report called “An Assessment,” the NATO military study that acknowledged and analyzed the implications of the alien presence on Earth.

Robert “Bob” Dean joined the US Army on April 5, 1960, he also served in combat service in Korea and later in Vietnam. He retired from the army on October 31, 1976, as a Command Sergeant Major.

Mr. Dean was a very controversial figure for his claims about seeing a secret document labeled “UFO Assessment: An Evaluation of a Possible Threat.” According to him, it contained detailed information on UFO sightings, ET encounters, and alien autopsies. He stated that the research was approved by NATO.

After his 28-year career in the US military, he finally decided to reveal the secret information on July 5 at the Roswell 50th anniversary celebration. He first arrived at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in 1963, where he was assigned to the Operations Division. In two years, he was promoted to E8 Master Sergeant and became Chief Security NCO for the Language Services Branch. Then, he controlled and inventoried as well as had access to all the classified materials in the branch.

When Mr. Dean worked at the Language Services Branch, he had a Cosmic level clearance. According to him, during the 1950s and early 1960s, UFOs were flying over Europe, which almost precipitated World War III.

He said: “My first assignment there was with the operations division and I learned of a study in progress a high classification cosmic top-secret study that had been initiated in 1961 to determine whether there was a threat to allied military forces in Europe a study was called for because during the early 1960s even in the late 1950s there were incidents involving Large numbers of large metallic, circular objects were flying all over Europe.

These things would fly in formations out of the east toward the west over Europe, over the southern coast of England, then they would turn north over the channel and then would disappear off of NATO radars off the Norwegian Sea.”

• Ex-CIA Officer Encoded True UFO/Alien Information Into Novel, Another CIA Vet Confirmed

He further claimed that NATO had launched a three-year program to investigate the UFOs and find out if they posed a military threat. He received this information from a 1964 NATO report titled “AN ASSESSMENT” (An Evaluation of a Possible Military Threat to Allied Forces in Europe). He said the report was so sensitive that only 15 copies of it were printed. Besides, the report contained in-depth studies of atmospheric physicists, astronomers, astrophysicists, sociologists, historians, and theologians.

Mr. Dean said: “There had been case after case of UFO landings, face-to-face confrontations, invitations to come aboard their ships. It had been going on for some years. It has been going on for centuries.” According to him, the report stated that “there apparently was not a military threat because if…[ETs] were hostile or malevolent, the game would have been up a long time ago.” This conclusion sounds similar to the UFO emails sent to John Podesta by Edgar Mitchell, who also called E.T. “nonviolent.”

He further reported that the NATO officials were disturbed by knowing that out of four extraterrestrial types, one looked exactly like humans, walking along the NATO corridors without being identified.

In an interview with Australian ufologist Michael E. Salla, Mr. Dean explained how he had got access to those top-secret documents. He said: “My first exposure to The Assessment was when an Air Force, full Colonel, who was on duty that night, as the SHOC controller, pulled it out of the vault and threw it on my desk and said ‘Read this. This’ll wake you up!'”

American journalist Phil Klass wrote that Mr. Dean learned from the NATO report that in late 1963 or 1964, a 100-feet diameter UFO crashed in Germany. British Army engineer battalion recovered the UFO debris along with 12 ET bodies. Mr. Dean was shocked to know that apart from the extraterrestrials’ visit from different star systems, the military and scientists had been dealing with more advanced species that were apparently multi-dimensional.

In his research, Mr. Dean cited several ancient arts where he was intrigued by the continued projection of lenticular clouds in the paintings. He suspected that those clouds were flying saucers.

During the Barcelona Exopolitics Summit, on July 25, 2009, Mr. Dean released a set of amazing images. He also explained the Apollo missions and what the astronauts encountered unlike anyone before. He released to the public a set of fascinating images supposedly captured by the astronauts of the Apollo 12 mission, including an image showing some mysterious spacecraft several hundred feet in diameter.

In his 41 years of federal service to the United States, Mr. Dean heard a lot of bizarre things, but the thing that the human race is a hybrid race stunned him. He said: “I’ve learned that we are not merely alone; we have never been alone. We have had an intimate interrelationship with advanced extraterrestrial intelligence from the beginning of our history. And let me tell you that that intimate interrelationship is still going on.”

He continued: “This one race, in particular, apparently reengineered us as a species about 200,000 years ago. What we are here today is what we call homo sapien sapiens — you’re an engineered creature. Your genetics have been manipulated. You’re not the same as what you were and you are not the same as to what your children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be in the next hundred years.” (Click here to read the full story)

Mr. Dean is very well known for his great contribution to the field of UFOlogy and received three-lifetime achievement awards. Still, skeptics found his claims obscured.

SHAPE writes: “We have analyzed these claims in detail, including a photograph alleged to be of the front cover of the assessment, and have concluded that the cover page is a forgery and that SHAPE prepared no report on UFOs during the 1960s. While some will no doubt dismiss this conclusion as part of some sort of long-standing cover-up of the existence of UFOs, we would like to point out that in the 1960s – like today – SHAPE was confronted by much more pressing threats than UFOS and did not have the time and resources to spend 2½ years studying them, as Sergeant Major Dean alleges. We are not saying that UFOs do or do not exist but simply that SHAPE did not prepare a report on them.”

Anyway, most opinions shared on the Internet are in favor of Mr. Dean, and the majority believes that he was legit. He died on October 11, 2018, at the age of 89 in Tucson, Arizona.

Americans think they'd be safer under Trump than Biden if ALIENS ATTACK: Daily Mail UFO poll shows 40% think aliens have visited in last 50 years - and 70% think Joe is hiding something

• DailyMail.com polled 1,000 US voters about their feelings about UFOs
• More than 40% said the Biden Administration is withholding information
• READ MORE: Senate's proposed UFO 'disclosure plan' emerges online 

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

More than seven in 10 Americans believe the Biden administration is withholding information about UFOs, a DailyMail.com poll has revealed.

And nearly four in 10 think that Earth has been visited by aliens from another planet in the past fifty years, according to the survey. 

We put several UFO-themed questions to 1,000 voters following a series of unprecedented Congressional hearings and a NASA investigation into unidentified craft flying in our skies.

More than four in 10 respondents said they would feel safer if Donald Trump were President of the US if aliens were to invade Earth, while a third said they would feel safer under Joe Biden. The rest were unsure.

DailyMail.com asked 1,000 US voters about UFOs. More than 40 percent believe the Biden administration is withholding information about aliens

DailyMail.com also asked respondents if aliens attacked Earth, who do they think we would be safer under, Joe Biden or Donald Trump?

J.L Partners conducted the poll from September 15 through 20, asking questions to Americans by phone, text and in its dedicated app.

Participants ranged in age from 18 to over 65. Scarlett Maguire, Director at JLP, said: 'Biden's approval rating isn't the only thing that has fallen to Earth recently. 

• Is the US government preparing to announce aliens? 

This is the Senate's proposed UFO 'controlled disclosure plan' and how it would work. 

'Only four in 10 Americans believe recent reports of UFOs are human in origin, and just one in four rule out extra-terrestrials having visited in the last 50 years. 

'And, perhaps unsurprisingly, for a demographic that embraces astrology, 18-29-year-old women are one of the groups most likely to think we have already had a close encounter of the third kind.'

'As with crime and the economy, the public's trust in the Biden administration's handling of UFOs doesn't survive first contact. 

'Even Democrats don't believe they have been told everything about UFOs. And when Mars attacks, there is only one man in town to save the day: more Americans - including independents - would choose Trump over Biden to defend them.'

When asked about the recent strange sightings by US Navy pilots, a total of 27 percent said they were 'probably alien in origin.'

A 41 percent majority said the strange flying objects were of human origin, and 32 percent said they did not know.

However, males, Black voters, non-graduates and Republicans were among the highest groups to believe the sightings were extraterrestrial in origin.

The poll revealed that more Americans than not believe the Biden Administration is withholding information about UFOs. 

More than 66 percent of Republicans answered 'definitely', compared to just 22 percent of Democrats.

Another question revealed that more Americans than not believe aliens have visited Earth in the last 50 years

DailyMail.com also asked respondents if aliens attacked Earth, who do they think we would be safer under, Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

Forty-three percent voted for Trump, 32 percent said Biden and 25 percent gave 'don't know' as their answer. 

Every age, race, education level and political party chose Trump. 

Trump appeared on the 'Hugh Hewitt' podcast this month, where he said he was briefed on UFOs during his presidency. 

The former president explained how he spoke with 'a couple of people from the Air Force' who experienced strange objects in the sky.

When asked if he believes in them, Trump responded: 'I have, I always have an open mind.'

Biden has steered clear of the topic in interviews.

In 2021, the president was asked about Barak Obama's statements that there is footage and records of objects in the sky — these unidentified aerial phenomena - but said he does not know what they are.

Biden responded: 'I would ask him again.'

However, earlier this year, he announced an interagency group to look into unidentified objects in US airspace.

White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby, who briefed reporters in February, announced the formation of the inquiry team. 

US Customs and Border Patrol uploaded 10 videos showing craft moving in strange ways in our skies. One video documents a fighter jet pursued by an apparent flying orb (above), in which key technical details from the agency's infrared camera display are redacted 

'The president, through his national security adviser, has today directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks,' Kirby said.

He explained that the team will include 'every element' of the government and stressed its formation was intended to 'redouble' the United States' efforts to understand and, hopefully, prevent incidents with what he described as 'high-altitude, low-speed craft.'

In another video, released via FOIA by US Customs and Border Protection, yet another apparent orb can be seen hovering near a parked 16-wheeler truck

A tranche of UFO videos, including some never-before-seen, were quietly released by the US Customs and Border Protection, the agency responsible for keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the country.

The agency uploaded 10 videos showing craft moving strangely in our skies.

The videos were released on August 9 without warning, a press release or much in the way of context, only to be discovered by UFO enthusiasts and online investigators last week.

The videos document a fighter jet pursued by a baffling flying orb, as well as something that appears to be a propeller-powered hang-glider and yet another apparent floating orb, hovering this time near a parked 16-wheeler truck.

But the enigmatic nature of the drop — which offered little detail regarding the times and locations of these sightings, plus more than a few sweeping redactions — has left more questions than answers.

EXCLUSIVE: Are aliens controlling us in a computer game? Leading UFO expert says the theory would explain the different world religions

• Some scientists believe humans are living in a simulation controlled by aliens
• Nick Pope suggested there could be different designers making mistakes
• READ MORE:  Is the Vatican aware of the existence of non-human intelligences?

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Scientists have floated the idea that humans live in a computer game controlled by aliens, and a UFO expert has suggested that would explain the multiplicity of religions on Earth.

Nick Pope, who ran the British Government's UFO project in the 1990s, told DailyMail.com that the simulation theory would be why beliefs vary.

He explained that the intelligence behind what we call our reality may have assigned different tasks to different designers, and mistakes could have been made in the programming - causing us to have contrasting ideologies. 

'Often in cosmology, there seems to be a disconnect between theory and observation,' said Pope.

'In religious terms, it would be as if several different gods all had a hand in creating the universe, and all had their different styles.'

Scientists have floated the idea that humans live in a computer game controlled by aliens, and a UFO expert has suggested it would explain the multiplicity of religions

Pope is one of several UFO experts featured in the new documentary 'God Versus Aliens,' which examines whether life as we know and perceive it is just a simulation designed and controlled by extraterrestrials for some unknown purpose.

The film, available on Tubi TV, highlights the religious belief that a higher power created our universe but suggests the higher power could be an alien race.

'Every aspect of human society would be deeply and profoundly affected by open contact with extraterrestrials, and nowhere would this impact be bigger than when it comes to religion,' Pope told DailyMail.com.

'There are so many variables that the result is difficult, if not impossible, to predict.

'What if advanced civilizations regard religion as primitive superstition, and we find that we're living in a predominantly atheist universe? 

'What if there's a dominant religion in the universe that we'd regard as crazy, but aliens arrive here as zealous missionaries, intent on converting us?'

Pope also highlighted that if our reality is a simulation, was religion programmed into the game, or did it emerge spontaneously?

He also believes the theory would explain fundamental discrepancies within individual religions, like the disconnect between the Old and the New Testaments.

Nick Pope, who ran the British Government's UFO project in the 1990s, told DailyMail.com that the simulation theory would solve why each religion believes their god created the universe 

'Christians say the Bible is the word of God, yet the Old Testament features plagues and thunderbolts and an angry, vengeful god who thinks nothing of wiping out most of his creations if they don't worship him. 

'The New Testament is quite different and tries to focus on themes such as kindness and forgiveness.

'How could we test this theory? If religion is simply a construct of programmers who designed our universe, then maybe one of those programmers left an "Easter egg", in the same way that film and TV makers occasionally slip a sort of inside joke into a production.

Avi Loeb - former chair of Harvard's astronomy department - said these creatures may even be responsible for our universe.

'Perhaps they'd insert something hilariously nonsensical into the middle of a somber holy text.'

He provided DailyMail.com with an excerpt from the Bible: 'From there Elisha went up to Bethel. 

'As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. 

'Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.' 

'Something as absurd as that could surely never be in the Bible. Yet, if you check the Old Testament, 2 Kings 2:23-24, there it is,' said Pope.

Mark Christopher Lee, the director of 'God Versus Aliens', said in a statement that certain faiths see first contact with aliens as a sign of the anti-Christ.

'Some Evangelical Christians believe the first contact with aliens would herald the end of the world, the apocalypse, because it goes against their belief,' he said in the documentary.

'The belief is based on the idea that the Bible is the only source of truth and anything that goes against it is the sign of the end times.'

Lee also said the disclosure that 'we are not alone' could have a colossal impact on society, though perhaps not as dramatic as 'War Of The Worlds.' 

'This could lead to a shift in religious beliefs as people begin to question the validity of their current beliefs and consider the possibility that the universe was created by an alien race and that we are just stuck in a simulation,' Lee said in the film. 

'Some people have suggested that this sort of stuff is already in the Vatican's secret archives.' 

One of those 'people' is David Grusch, a former high-ranking intelligence official, who claims to have firsthand encounters or knowledge about secret government programs involving technology that is 'non-human.' 

In June, Grusch claimed the US has run a top-secret UFO retrieval program for decades and claimed the 'Vatican was involved' in the first-ever UFO crash.

The decorated official also said the first recovery of a UFO was in Magenta, Italy, in 1933, and it was held by Mussolini's Italian government until 1944 to 1945, when Pope Pius XII tipped America off about it.

'1933 was the first recovery in Europe, in Magenta, Italy,' Grusch told News Nation.

'They recovered a partially intact vehicle, and the Italian government moved it to a secure airbase in Italy until around 1944 to 1945.

'The [Vatican] Pope back-channeled that and told the Americans what the Italians had, and we ended up scooping it.'

Grusch was then asked to clarify whether the Catholic Church was aware of 'non-human' existence on earth, and he replied: 'Certainly.'

Pope told DailyMail.com the issue humans may have with their religions once contact is made with aliens are the same issues arising concerning AI and sentience.

'If it says it is, and its behavior is indistinguishable from sentience, it will essentially be unknowable,' he told DailyMail.com.

'Perfect mimicry of sentience is indistinguishable from actual sentience, in the same way that perfect mimicry of being a god is indistinguishable from being an actual god - if such a thing exists.'

Netflix's new 'Encounters' documentary features UFO sighting of a mile-long 'spaceship' spotted by more than 300 people in Texas

• Engineer Bob Powell analyzed 2.8 million radar returns from the 2008 UFO case
• Powell told DailyMail.com the FAA has stopped releasing this data to the public
• READ MORE: From 'alien bodies' in Mexico to flying saucers in secret US government bunkers, DailyMail.com breaks down the latest in UFO news

By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

For five months after Halloween of 2007, more than 300 locals living 80 miles southwest of Dallas/Fort Worth in Texas began reporting something strange in their skies: a  giant 'delta-shaped' UFO.

Estimates of its size ranged from 'over 300 feet to one mile long,' as the large 'V-shaped formation,' sometimes seen with seven orange-red lights, hovered above campfires, cruised past major highways and sped silently across the horizon.

Now, Netflix's new UFO docu-series 'Encounters,' which premiered Wednesday, has delivered fresh details on this larger-than-life object witnessed by over 300 locals high above the desert.

The four-part, Steven Spielberg-produced film brought on several eyewitnesses and the nanotechnology engineer whose investigation helped capture the giant UFO via Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) radar data.

'Next time I asked,' that engineer, Robert Powell, told the DailyMail.com, 'I couldn't get that radar data.'

Over 300 people reported seeing a UFO during the 2007-08 wave near Stephenville, Texas. UFO researcher Robert Powell was on the ground for the media 'circus' that ensued (above), as hundreds of residents and reporters descended on Erath County, Texas, looking for answers

Some residents described the UFO as a mile and four city blocks long. Netflix's 'Encounters' is the second major docu-series to do a deep dive on the Stephenville UFO. Above, an image of the mile-long Texas UFO as seen in the prior NatGeo doc

Powell, a nanotech and semiconductor engineer, helped to capture the giant UFO via Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) radar data. Powell worked with Glen Schulze, a career electrical engineer once with the US Army at White Sands Proving Ground, to analyze the FAA radar data

According to Powell, his work on this 2007-2008 Stephenville, Texas, UFO incident was one of the last times the FAA would release raw radar tower data to the general public via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).  

'Basically, what they no longer provide is the type that I got there,' Powell said, 'where you get the individual tower and all of the raw data that comes from that radar tower.'

Powell was on the ground for the media 'circus' that ensued, as hundreds of residents and an international scrum of reporters descended upon Erath County, Texas, looking for answers.

Although it is colloquially known as the 'Stephenville UFO' case, the wave of sightings from November 2007 to March 2008 spanned multiple nearby towns in Texas, including Dublin and Gorman to the west and Fort Worth to the northeast.

The most widely publicized incident occurred on January 8, 2008, when 19 witnesses spotted a UFO as it passed west from Dublin to Stephenville and then back again, pursued by US military fighter pilots. 

Eyewitness, pilot and businessman Steve Allen told the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) that the UFO was 'a large object one mile long and half a mile wide, moving away at high speed, soundless,' per the group's report 

One witness, pilot and businessman Steve Allen, told civilian researchers with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) that this UFO was 'a large object one mile long and half a mile wide' and was 'moving away at high speed, soundless.' 

On the second pass of that UFO — which was described as being longer than 17 football fields — the MUFON team wrote that the object was chased by 'jet aircraft on after-burners breaking the sound barrier.'

Another witness, a local law enforcement officer, estimated that the UFO was closer to '4 city blocks wide or close to 1/8 mile,' according to a second report co-authored by Powell. 

This officer reportedly said the UFO had 'two very large lights' 25 feet in diameter each. 

The mass sighting made national news in 2008 with coverage in the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, and on National Public Radio.

'She actually became a pretty good friend,' Powell told the DailyMail.com. 'I talked to her quite a bit, even after she left the paper.'

Joiner helped MUFON secure a meeting spot to take local witness statements at a location donated by the Dublin Dr Pepper Co and the Dublin Rotary Club. An estimated 500 people attended this January 19, 2008 event, according to MUFON, with over 50 reports taken amid the commotion. 

'It was like a circus,' Powell told the DailyMail.com. 

'We were interviewing various witnesses — it was so loud that you couldn't even interview them properly,' Powell recollected. 'The key witness interviews occurred outside of that.'

But one key source did come from Powell and his fellow MUFON investigators' work during that media frenzy: Glen Schulze, a career electrical engineer whose radar work for the US Army at White Sands Proving Ground had once earned him a letter of commendation with the 4th US Army field division.   

'I met Glen at that giant meeting,' Powell recalled. 'I believe Angelia Joiner introduced me to him.'

'And he said, 'You know, I sent off a Freedom of Information request.' And I said, 'Well, I did too.' And, and so then that's we just decided to collaborate at that point.'

The full results of Powell and Schulze's labors, which were published in December 2010 by the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), analyzed over 2.8 million radar returns from five different radar sites operated by the FAA.  

Ten different FOIA requests went into their research, including radar data from the National Weather Service and logbooks for the 457th Fighter Squadron out of nearby Carswell AFB. 

These records, plus transponder data — signal beacons that all military and civilian flights must emit by law — allowed Powell and Schulze to separate the known craft and atmospheric phenomena on January 8th from the UFO. 

The duo identified 'an unknown target' on radar that corresponded to sightings by six witnesses between 6:00 and 6:20 PM CT that night, including a radar ping at 6:15 PM about 9 miles north of Stephenville.

'If the two unknown objects picked up on radar are one and the same,' Schulze and Powell wrote, 'then the object moved at about 2100 mph.'

Above another map generated by Powell and Schulze for their Dec 2010 report, as published by the SCU. This map depicts — as yellow triangles — UFOs seen by witnesses that could also be tracked via FAA radar. However, these UFOs did not have any identifying transponder data

They also identified unknown radar tracks that correlated with later sightings of the UFO between 6:40 and 7:15 PM southwest in Dublin and further southwest near Comanche at 9:30 PM. 

One witness 'saw the object in a stationary position for just a few seconds,' they report, 'and then it disappeared.'  

Another witness, a former air traffic controller who saw the giant UFO evading USAF fighter jets after 8:00 PM, compared the military planes to the large object 'as raisins to a grapefruit.'

Retired meteorologist William Puckett, formerly with the National Weather Service and the EPA, obtained Doppler radar data for MUFON's initial report. Puckett's data also helped confirm objects or phenomena above Stephenville on the night of January 8, 2008

This former air traffic controller was near downtown Comanche, about 40 miles to the southwest of Stephenville.

Witnesses of this caliber and expertise were just one reason, as Powell told the DailyMail.com, why Joiner became so devoted to continuing her investigation even as the national and local news cycles moved on. 

'She felt that she owed it to the citizenry (right?) to give them answers,' Powell recalled. 'They knew these weren't F-16s [fighter jets] because F-16s would fly over every day of the year, constant, nonstop. So, they knew what F-16s look like.' 

'So, they would call her and say, 'Well, what have you found out? Has anyone else reported it?' blah, blah, blah — and she felt obligated to answer their questions.'

Joiner, according to Powell, eventually 'got a little disillusioned' as years went by, because 'there's so many wackos in this field that will contact you and tell you, you know, they've got a piece of a UFO or what-have-you.' 

High-caliber eyewitnesses, like former air traffic controllers, local police and trained pilots, were just one reason why a local reporter like Angelia Joiner became so devoted to continuing her UFO investigations,  even as the national and local news cycles moved on, Powell said

'A guy who was supposedly in law enforcement in Mississippi kept telling her he had an [alien implant] object that was embedded near his genitals,' Powell said, 'and he wound up sending her a photograph of his genitals.'

'That's how crazy some of the people are that are out there.' 

Undaunted, Powell and Joiner corresponded on the Stephenville sightings, their own lives, and some other UFO cases until her tragic passing from Covid in 2021. 

However, Powell's correspondence with the FAA over those same years was considerably less cordial, with the civilian aviation agency changing its policies on what radar data they would release to the public.

Among the information suddenly off limits: radar data from the FAA's high-speed Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities, which track landing aircraft within 50 miles of airports nationwide.

'What their current policy is,' Powell said: 'long-range radar [data], they'll want to keep 45 days; short range, they'll keep 15 days.' 

But, one FAA radar operator, who Powell said called him after reading the SCU's report, told him, 'That's not true, and I'll tell you why.' 

'He goes, 'Every six months, we get reviewed by the effectiveness of our work. And, in order to review me, they have to pull that radar data, you know. [...] They pull radar data six months a year all the time.'

'If they were being honest,' in Powell's opinion, 'it would be, 'It's not on our current servers, and we're not going to go, you know, hunt for it.'

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY UAP DOCUMENTS REVEAL PUZZLING AERIAL INCURSIONS NEAR AMERICAN NUCLEAR SITES

MICAH HANKS 

Documents released by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) have revealed new details about incidents involving the unauthorized operation of unmanned aerial systems near American nuclear sites and sightings of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

The documents, comprised mainly of Operations Reports filed by the Protective Force Division of the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), involve suspected unauthorized drone incidents near Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and other DOE facilities that occurred between May 2018 and April 2021, along with a series of correspondences that include historical references to UAP observations and related subjects.

A semi-autonomous agency within the Department of Energy (DOE), the NNSA is responsible for maintaining the security of the U.S.’s nuclear weapons and responding to nuclear emergencies, along with providing the U.S. Navy with nuclear propulsion and maintaining the safety of its reactors.

According to the DOE documents, Site 300, an experimental site 15 miles east of LLNL’s main site used in the testing of high-explosives and materials to aid research into the development of nuclear weapons, was the location of several of the recent UAS incidents.

The documents were included on a page that also included links to other U.S. government resources related to UAP that appeared on the DOE’s website in late September 2023.

UNAUTHORIZED DRONE ACTIVITY OVER NUCLEAR SITES

One Operations Report filed in September 2021 describes an incident that occurred on the morning of April 1 of that year, where an LLNL employee reported seeing a suspected drone operating over the facility.

“At approximately 0635 hours I was driving on West Perimeter Drive and noticed a possible drone hovering 50-75 feet off the ground in the buffer zone,” a portion of a witness statement included in the report reads. “Due to the darkness I only saw the red and white lights.” The employee notified the Central Alarm Station following the observation, but no security camera footage or other corroborating evidence for the sighting could be found.

A similar incident that occurred at LLNL on July 22, 2020, described a “white fixed wing drone flying over at approximately 100 feet above building 271 heading west bound.” The aircraft was monitored until it left the area, after which Oakland Flight Standards District Office, the FAA, and other regional authorities were notified.

Another Operations Report describing events that occurred in the early morning hours of October 18, 2019, describes a sighting of a UAS with “two red lights and one white light” believed to be equipped with a camera that was observed by an LLNL Site 300 Maintenance Mechanic. The object passed between 20 and 30 feet above the employee’s vehicle, and despite the close distance, no identifying marks could be seen on the UAS.

Another incident involving a possible drone observed near Site 300 was also reported on July 3 of that year, which followed a June 24, 2019 incident involving a “four rotor propeller drone” with blue and red lights observed 40 feet above building 583 that “appeared to be recording.”

RESTRICTION OF DRONE FLIGHTS OVER U.S. NUCLEAR FACILITIES

In the U.S., drone flights over designated national security sensitive facilities is prohibited.

On December 18, 2017, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) first announced that it would begin restricting drone flights up to 400 feet within the lateral boundaries of several U.S. Department of Energy facilities.

Although Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was not among the sites listed by the FAA at that time, a joint announcement by the FAA and the DOE later that month restricted drone flights above all DOE facilities, which includes the agency’s nuclear assembly facilities, laboratories, and research centers.

Despite the FAA restrictions, FOIA documents later obtained by researcher Douglas D. Johnson revealed sightings of swarms of large drones that were observed on September 29, 2019, at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Maricopa County, Arizona. Subsequent FOIA documents Johnson obtained revealed additional incidents that occurred at a total of 24 nuclear sites, involving 57 drone incursions reported between 2015 and 2019.

Although the FAA had already issued a Notice to Airmen as early as 2004 advising pilots to avoid airspace over nuclear power plants (with later updated versions also extended to include drone operations), in late 2019 ongoing drone incidents over nuclear facilities prompted the nuclear industry to begin working with the FAA and the DOE to try to impose formal flight restrictions over nuclear power plants.

A classified technical analysis produced jointly by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Sandia National Laboratory in October 2019 found that nuclear power plants in the U.S. did not appear to possess any significant vulnerabilities that were believed to be exploitable by foreign adversaries employing drones near such facilities (an unclassified summary of that analysis can be found here). The assessment also concluded that the NRC’s design-basis threat, which the agency employs “as a basis for designing safeguards systems to protect against acts of radiological sabotage and to prevent the theft of special nuclear material,” already accounts for the potential of information that may be obtained through aerial surveillance using drones.

In July 2020, an incident involving a modified unmanned aircraft that crashed near a Pennsylvania power substation was determined to have been intended as an attempt to disable or disrupt the facility’s electrical equipment, according to a federal law enforcement memorandum.

Similar incidents involving sightings of drones near nuclear facilities have been reported in other countries around the world as well. In January 2022, sightings of unidentified drones were reported near several nuclear power facilities in Sweden, giving rise to speculations that Russia may have been behind the incidents.

METALLIC SPHERES, THE DOE, AND AARO

Arguably one of the more intriguing incidents logged in the recent Operations Reports released by the DOE occurred on April 30, 2019, involving an observation of a “drone like object” over LLNL described as a “round silver drone flying around the Process Area and periodically stopping and hovering for several seconds.” The object then moved toward the north, stopping and hovering again for a short period.

“It flew over [the] area for several minutes and departed south east [sic]. It was really high up and it looked like it was just under the clouds,” the observer’s report states.

THE STATE OF THE UNIVERSE: LOST CIVILIZATIONS FROM OUR COSMIC PAST  

During an April 2023 Senate hearing, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, Director of the DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), acknowledged that more than half of all UAP reports collected by his Office involved observations of objects characterized as orbs or round/spherical objects possessing white, silver, or translucent coloration. Other typical characteristics of UAP in reports collected by AARO include a size range of 1-4 meters, movement at speeds of up to Mach 2, no evidence of propulsion, and intermittent signature detectability.

“That’s what we’re looking for and trying to understand what that is,” Kirkpatrick said during the hearing, just before sharing a short video obtained by an MQ-9 Reaper Drone operating over the Middle East in 2022 featuring a flying object resembling a metallic sphere. A briefing slide that accompanied the footage characterized the object as “consistent with other ‘metallic orb’ observations in the region,” adding that the object presented “No demonstration of enigmatic technical capabilities and no apparent threat to airborne-asset safety.”

Intriguingly, similar descriptions of metallic, white, or translucent spherical objects date back several decades. A December 14, 1944 New York Times article titled “Floating Mystery Ball Is New Nazi Air Weapon” described Allied pilot encounters with objects remarkably similar in description.

“Airmen of the American Air Force report that they are encountering silver colored spheres in the air over German territory,” the brief Times report read. “The spheres are encountered either singly or in clusters. Sometimes they are semi-translucent.”

Over the decades, several other incidents involving purported UAP sightings near U.S. strategic sites, some of which resulted in formal investigations, have hinted at the possibility of surveillance being undertaken by unknown parties employing unconventional aerial technologies.

The DOE is not the only U.S. agency to have recently joined the effort to release records involving unexplained incidents involving suspected drones or other aerial objects. Recently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection also released several videos related to unidentified aerial phenomena, some instances of which had already been previously available online. In May 2022, The Debrief reported on several videos that were reportedly obtained by the agency’s personnel, and subsequently leaked online.

The documents recently released at the DOE and CBP websites come in advance of the delivery of AARO’s next periodic report that will provide an update on its ongoing efforts to analyze and attempt to resolve UAP sightings.

“No single explanation addresses the majority of UAP reports,” reads a FAQ page on AARO’s official website, which was launched last month. “We are collecting as much data as possible, following the data where it leads, and sharing our findings whenever possible.”

“We will not rush to conclusions in our analysis,” the FAQ page reads.

The US Navy's engagement with UFO encounters is not a recent phenomenon. UFO sightings by the Navy can be traced back to the 1950s and 1960s. However, during that period, these sightings were shrouded in secrecy. Crew members were explicitly instructed to remain silent about the incidents, and when pressed, they were often provided with vague or nonsensical explanations regarding the nature of these mysterious objects. 

Even with the latest official announcements of supposed UFO/USO encounters such as the 

USS Nimitz UFO Incident (2004) 

USS Theodore Roosevelt UFO Incident (2014-2015) 

USS Kidd UFO Incident (2019) 

USS Russell UFO Incident (2019) 

USS Omaha UFO Incident (2021) 

You can imagine that the US Navy has experienced many more UFO / USO encounters over the years but these events are kept secret.  

Here are five UFO / USO incidents in which the US Navy has been involved during the 60's, 70's and 80's. 

1. Azores Islands, Early fall 1965, USS Albany GC10 

• Late at night, lights out, watch shift. Technician and air traffic controllers observed 3 unidentified objects on radar following the fleet at a distance of about 40-50 miles for over an hour. 
• Three jets deployed to investigate. The pilots flying at speeds of around 1350 nots, but failed to make visual contact with the unknown objects. The technician, however, could spot the bogies on the height-finding radar, SP530. 
• As the jets attempted to approach the UFOs, the objects moved away rapidly, maintaining their triangular formation.
• Then, within seven radar sweeps, the UFOs had completely disappeared from the radar, while the jets remained visible. 

2. Azores Islands, May 23, 1968, USS Monrovia APA-31

• Witness was on board the USS Monrovia APA-31 and observed a large submerged object on the starboard side of the ship, just behind the stern. 
• This USO had an elongated oval shape and emitted a luminescent orange glow. It appeared to have a translucent quality. 
• The USO seemed to mimic several changes in the ship's compass, radar, and radio equipment to malfunction, rendering them inoperable.
• As suddenly as it had appeared, the USO vanished. 
• The sighting lasted for about 90 minutes and was witnessed by around 1,100 members of the ship's crew, including a contingent of US Marines. 

3. Mediterranean Sea, Summer 1974, USS Forrestal CV-59 

• Signalman on duty during a regular night-watch spots an unusual reflection appearing as an underwater light, approximately 8 miles away and reports the sighting to the control tower. 
• Despite sonar failing to confirm the contact, the visual sighting was strong enough to bring the captain, executive officer, flight boss, and several intelligence officers to the deck. Over the next 20 minutes, they watch the object moving at high speed across the ship's bow. 
• The object zigzagged from 60 to over 100 miles per hour until it halted directly in the ship's path at one point within 4 miles of the Forrestal, before disappearing into the depths of the sea. 
• In the aftermath, the witness was ordered by the executive officer to remain silent. 

4. Bermuda Triangle, June 15, 1977, USS Glover AGFF-1 

• Early morning of June 15, 1977 witness's watch duty above the bridge interrupted by a bright red-orange circular object that dropped from the sky and neared the ship and almost simultaneously, another watch also spotted the object. 
• Within moments, two more similar objects appeared, compelling them to report 3 unidentified contacts to the bridge and the Combat Information Center (CIC). 
• Suddenly, the ship lost all power, including radar and sonar, and came to a standstill in the water while the 3 objects conducted astonishing maneuvers across the sky before forming a triangle directly above the ship. 
• The 3 objects then converged to form a single bright orange light circle about 200 yards directly above the ship. Then vanish and the ship regains full power, and all systems reboot. 
• Later that night, ship encounters a surface contact that moved at an estimated speed of 70 mph and dove underwater without any slowdown, eventually, it plunged into depths of the Atlantic, disappearing both from the sonar and radar screens. 
• The following morning, the crew was assembled and ordered to forget everything they had witnessed and told they had seen 'an experimental Russian helicopter.'  

5. Caribbean Sea, Summer 1980 or 1981, USS W.S. Sims FF-1059 

• An urgent dispatch was relayed to the USS W.S. Sims to head to Puerto Rico where there were reports of a Russian submarine exhibiting suspicious maneuvers in the area. 
• Onboard were divers, scientists and other experts, all brought together to investigate the unusual underwater activity. 
• The crew spent several intense weeks working to determine what exactly they were dealing with.
• Witness heard "whispers" from the divers who were part of the investigation. They referred to the incident as another "Shag Harbor." 
• The final outcome of the mission remained elusive and the crew were told they had been studying a natural phenomenon of undetermined origin. 
• The phenomenon had the uncanny ability to elude detection at will, only to reappear again, this pattern continued for about six weeks. 

The Shag Harbor UFO incident was the reported impact of an unknown large object into waters near Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia, a fishing village on the Atlantic coast, on 4 October 1967. 

At least eleven people saw a low-flying lit object head towards the harbor. Multiple witnesses reported hearing a whistling sound "like a bomb," then a "whoosh," and finally a loud bang. 

Two days after the incident had been observed, a detachment of navy divers from Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic was assembled and for the next three days, they combed the seafloor of the Gulf of Maine off Shag Harbor looking for an object. 

The final report said no trace of an object was found but it is suggested that they kept this UFO incident secret.

Alien head found on Mars In NASA Photo is 60% similar to humans, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Sept 29, 2023

Location of discovery: Planet Mars
Source photo: 

• https://mars.nasa.gov/raw_images/125313/?site=msl

This face on Mars is small, just a few inches across, however the importance of its discovery is monumental. Faces explain what the alien species looked like. Faces explain to us that they were intelligent enough to create lionesses in artistic form. In this face I see a smile, round cheeks, a nose thats different than humans in that it's three times wider and its eye area is larger. Its has hair or perhaps its skin ridges across its head and scalp area. It has two ears, one of which is visible and is 70% similar to our own. In all this face is about 60% similar to humans, leaving a huge 40% difference. A difference which could be attributed to it possibly being reptilian which would explain how they survived in Mars extreme heat.

Encounters: Netflix’s Dive into the Enigmatic World of UFOs

For ages, humans have gazed into the expansive night sky, wondering about those fleeting, mysterious lights, often dubbed Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs. These evanescent lights have sparked countless debates, tales, and scientific quests. Are they merely misunderstood natural phenomena, man-made aircraft, or something much more profound: a sign of life beyond our planet? Netflix’s latest docuseries, Encounters, offers viewers a deep dive into this intriguing realm.

Journeying to Texas Skies

The inaugural episode, titled “Messengers,” transports us to Stephenville, Texas, in 2008. Residents of this quiet town were startled by anomalous lights that painted their night sky for several nights. Picture this: an immense V-shaped array of lights suddenly morphing into a radiant, color-shifting object. It’s a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie, but for the people of Stephenville, it was an eerie reality. Despite the Air Force attributing these sightings to earthly explanations, Stephenville’s denizens, featured in heartfelt interviews, recollect these bewildering events, painting a tapestry of human experiences amidst the unexplained.

A Welsh Coastal Enigma

The docuseries’ narrative then journeys across the Atlantic to Broad Haven, a picturesque coastal town in Wales (“The Broad Haven Triangle“). Here, in 1977, the skies became a theatre of wonder, with over 450 townspeople reporting sightings of bizarre aerial objects, ranging from cigar to disk-shaped entities. The governmental investigations may have chalked it up to natural causes, but the hearts and minds of Broad Haven’s residents tell a story steeped in both awe and intrigue. The episode offers more than just recounts; it delves into the fabric of the town itself, capturing the profound socio-cultural ripples these sightings left in their wake.

A Nuclear Nightmare’s Silver Lining?

“Light Over Fukushima” brings to fore the harrowing aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear catastrophe. Amidst the bleak backdrop of this disaster, many locals reported witnessing enigmatic spheres of light hovering over the reactor ruins. Was this nature’s own light show, a direct consequence of the nuclear event, or were they unearthly visitors drawn to our moment of crisis? Through personal narratives and expert opinions, the episode wrestles with these tough questions.

Innocence Meets the Inexplicable

The final leg of this extraterrestrial odyssey takes us to Zimbabwe, where young students of the Ariel School experienced the unimaginable in 1994. Imagine being in a playground and witnessing an alien craft touch down, only to unveil its otherworldly inhabitants. This episode, “Believers,” delves deep into one of history’s most intensely scrutinized UFO events. Through interviews with these now-grown students and experts, the episode offers a visceral glimpse into this hair-raising encounter.

• The Remarkable Ariel School UFO Incident: 60+ Students Saw Aliens Land On The Playground - MHP #222

• The inside story on how 62 students witnessed the same UFO experience at school

Reflecting on the Cosmic Unknown

Encounters is not just a chronicle of unexplained aerial phenomena. It’s a human story – of wonder, fear, skepticism, and hope. Netflix has crafted a series that doesn’t just parade evidence but humanizes each account, allowing the viewer to step into the shoes of those who’ve experienced the enigma first-hand.

Applauded for its meticulous production and balanced approach, Encounters serves as a testament to our undying curiosity and desire to understand our place in the cosmos. Whether a believer, skeptic, or the curious kind, this docuseries promises a journey into the mysteries of the universe that will leave you pondering long after the credits roll.

Researchers Create Autonomous Battery-Free Wireless Microrobot: MilliMobile

MilliMobile is a first of its kind battery-free autonomous robot capable of operating on harvested solar and radio frequency power. The MilliMobile prototype has a 1 x1 cm chassis and weighs less than 1.1 g. It can carry payloads 3 times its own weight, and only experiences a 25% reduction in speed when carrying a 1 g payload.

Small mobile robots carrying sensors could perform tasks like catching gas leaks or tracking warehouse inventory.

But moving robots demands a lot of energy, and batteries, the typical power source, limit lifetime and raise environmental concerns.

Researchers have explored various alternatives: affixing sensors to insects, keeping charging mats nearby, or powering the robots with lasers.

Each has drawbacks. Insects roam. Chargers limit range. Lasers can burn people’s eyes.

“We challenge the conventional assumption that motion and actuation are beyond the capabilities of battery-free devices and demonstrate completely untethered autonomous operation in realistic indoor and outdoor lighting as well as radio frequency delivery scenarios,” said University of Washington doctoral student Kyle Johnson and colleagues, who developed MilliMobile, a tiny, self-driving robot powered only by surrounding light or radio waves.

Equipped with a solar panel-like energy harvester and four wheels, their robot is about the size of a penny, weighs as much as a raisin and can move about the length of a bus (10 m, or 30 feet) in an hour even on a cloudy day.

MilliMobile can drive on surfaces such as concrete or packed soil and carry three times its own weight in equipment like a camera or sensors.

It uses a light sensor to move automatically toward light sources so it can run indefinitely on harvested power.

“We took inspiration from ‘intermittent computing,’ which breaks complex programs into small steps, so a device with very limited power can work incrementally, as energy is available,” Johnson said.

“With MilliMobile, we applied this concept to motion. We reduced the robot’s size and weight so it takes only a small amount of energy to move.”

“And, similar to an animal taking steps, our robot moves in discrete increments, using small pulses of energy to turn its wheels.”

The researchers tested MilliMobile both indoors and outdoors, in environments such as parks, an indoor hydroponic farm and an office.

Even in very low light situations — for instance, powered only by the lights under a kitchen counter — the robots are still able to inch along, though much slower.

Running continuously, even at that pace, opens new abilities for a swarm of robots deployed in areas where other sensors have trouble generating nuanced data.

These robots are also able to steer themselves, navigating with onboard sensors and tiny computing chips.

To demonstrate this, the team programmed the robots to use their onboard light sensors to move towards a light source.

“Internet of Things sensors are usually fixed in specific locations,” said University of Washington doctoral student Zachary Englhardt.

“Our work crosses domains to create robotic sensors that can sample data at multiple points throughout a space to create a more detailed view of its environment, whether that’s a smart farm where the robots are tracking humidity and soil moisture, or a factory where they’re seeking out electromagnetic noise to find equipment malfunctions.”

• The scientists will present their work at the ACM MobiCom 2023 Conference in Madrid, Spain.

This US President Cried After He Found Disturbing Alien Information In UFO Briefing

In 1973, before the presidential elections, yet to become President, Jimmy Carter filed a report with the International UFO Bureau claiming he had seen a UFO in October 1969. Along with other witnesses, Carter saw a bright UFO that changed colors and moved towards and away from the Earth before disappearing. He was quite vocal about his beliefs on UFOs and promised to public all available information about UFOs if he became president.

“He described waiting outside for a Lion’s Club Meeting in Leary, Georgia, to begin, at about 7:30 p.m., when he spotted what he called ‘the darndest thing I’ve ever seen’ in the sky.” Along with 10 to 12 other witnesses, Carter observed a bright object in the sky, which was about the size of the moon. (Source)

“We all saw it. And then the light, it got closer and closer to us. And then it stopped, I don’t know how far away, but it stopped beyond the pine trees. And all of a sudden it changed color to blue, and then it changed to red, then back to white,” Carter told GQ in 2005. The object reportedly hovered about 30 degrees above the horizon, moved towards and away from the Earth, and eventually disappeared into the distance. Carter’s experience led him to make a vow to never again ridicule individuals who claimed to have seen a UFO.

“One thing’s for sure, I’ll never make fun of people who say they’ve seen unidentified objects in the sky. If I become President, I’ll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists,” Carter said.

As for the object that Carter saw, it has since been classified as “a high altitude barium release cloud launched from Eglen AFB,” which sounds legit. However, after winning the presidency, Carter backed away from this promise, citing concerns about national security and defense implications. His experience with a UFO is just one of many reported sightings that have fueled conspiracy about extraterrestrial life and government cover-ups.

President Carter’s Disturbing Briefing on UFOs and Religion

Former NASA researcher Ed Harris claimed that serious researchers on the subject believe the story of former President Jimmy Carter crying after being briefed about classified UFO information to be true. According to the story corroborated by multiple witnesses, U.S. presidents are given only a brief overview of the subject by the CIA, and presidential curiosity is not considered a sufficient need to know.

After being repeatedly stonewalled, Carter was given “the talk,” which reportedly left him deeply sobbing and visibly disturbed for weeks. He was told that major religions, including Christianity, were created by extraterrestrials to prevent humans from destroying themselves while they ran experiments on us, and that they made us. Carter, a deeply religious man who had witnessed a UFO with six other people, realized that releasing such information could cause tremendous economic and social upheaval.

Below you can read Ed Harris’ statement on the subject that he wrote on Quora:

"Yes, the incident of Jimmy Carter crying after being briefed about classified information regarding UFO’s is largely believed to be true by the serious researchers on the subject. As a forewarning, the following information is very unsettling and will explain why Carter never “kept his promise” of revealing classified UFO information to the public.

According to the story that was corroborated by more than one witness, U.S. presidents are only given a cursory overview of the subject. Apparently, the CIA runs the program, only provide information to the President on a need to know basis, and do not consider presidential curiosity as sufficient need to know. This was implemented after Kennedy, and all presidents after him have been given only summary briefings (some presidents for unknown reasons were given more than others).

Okay on to your question. President Carter is a deeply religious man who had also witnessed a UFO with 6 other people. Everyone thought that he would be the one to finally release UFO info to the public but as the story goes, he was repeatedly stonewalled. Eventually, the CIA had “the talk” with him, and afterward it was reported that he sunk his head in his hands and not only began to deeply sob, but was visibly disturbed for some weeks afterward.

What was he told and shown?

He was told that the major religions including Christianity were programs created by extraterrestrials to prevent us from destroying ourselves while they ran their experiments on us – and that they made us. At this moment it became clear to Carter that such information could cause tremendous economic and social upheaval. I should add that I am not only a Christian but a clergyman, so I am in no way attempting to promote atheism here. In fact, how God fits into this might be an interesting separate post. Nevertheless, these are the facts as I know them to be.

Author and world’s leading UFO researcher Richard Dolan also writes about this incident in his book “UFOs and the National Security State: The Cover-Up Exposed.” According to his book, there are claims that President Carter was given a UFO briefing at the White House on June 14, 1977, which he was then bound to secrecy about.

The briefing was supposedly given by a lone MJ-12 briefing officer and several independent sources. The leaked “Executive Briefing: Project Aquarius” document gives the standard account of multiple retrievals of alien technology. While there is no hard evidence to support the claims of the briefing, a presidential aide, who was “very, very close to Carter,” witnessed President sobbing after a UFO-related briefing in the Oval Office.

Carter Administration & Project Blue Book

Daniel Sheehan, a Harvard-educated Constitutional Trial Lawyer and Appellate Attorney has worked on many high-profile cases in his career. In 1977, he was approached by his friend Marcia Smith, who informed him that President Carter had demanded that the CIA provided classified information about unidentified flying objects to him, but George H. Bush, who was the CIA director at the time, refused to give this information to the president.

Sheehan tried to obtain information on the UFO phenomena and extraterrestrials from the Vatican Library but was unsuccessful. However, with Carter’s help, he managed to get access to the classified portions of the Air Force’s Project Blue Book for a few hours in May 1977, where he claimed to have discovered classified documents and photographs of a crashed UFO being investigated by Air Force personnel.

“There were these photographs of unmistakable — of a UFO sitting on the ground. It had crashed,” Sheehan said. “Apparently, it had hit into this field and had dug up, kind of plowed this kind of trough through this field,” he paused for a second.

“It was wedged into the side of this bank,” he said after taking a deep breath. “There was snow all around the picture. The vehicle was wedged into the side of this mud-like embankment — kind of up at an angle. There was Air Force personnel. As I cranked the little handle and looked at additional photos, these Air Force people were taking pictures.” (Click here to read the full article)

When Mr. Sheehan left the room, the guard asked to see his yellow legal pad and flipped through the pages, missing the alien hieroglyphs Sheehan had copied on the back of the pad. Sheehan offered to share this information with the religious establishment; they told him they were not interested.

Journalist Reveals Bob Lazar’s Astonishing Claim: Extraterrestrials See Humans as ‘Containers of Souls’

Robert A. Monroe Photo.

Image Credit: The Monroe Institute

Here is what he uncovered: For millennia, humanity has been controlled and enslaved by nefarious vertebrates known as Reptilians, who operate within the 4th dimension, invisible to most but those who can perceive beyond our limited spectrum of visible light. These parasitic entities thrive on our spiritual lifeforce, referred to as “loosh” by Monroe, and rely on negative and low vibrational energy for their survival. Viewing Earth as a vast farm, they harvest human emotions such as fear, hatred, anxiety, anger, and depression. With intelligence equal to or surpassing that of humans, this elusive lizard-like race considers itself superior and the rulers of mankind.

Robert Monroe pursued transcendental endeavors until he passed away in 1995. His beliefs never changed, and he frequently warned of the sinister spiritual vampires. Gateway’s revolutionary experiments continued throughout the 1980s.

There is a case of a British woman named Samantha McDonald who claimed that she had been repeatedly abducted by reptilians since her first contact in the 1990s, but on every abduction, her memory was wiped by her abductors. In 2014, she was invited to a British talk show named “This Morning,” where she revealed there were two alien species, the Greys and Reptilians, who worked together. (Source)

She said that when she woke up, there were needle marks, scratches, and bruises on her body. “I’ve asked them what they want with me and they said they have come to take me and my family. What they were after was my energy and soul essence. I don’t know why they keep coming back to me. I think it is to do with my energies as I’m into healing and meditation.”

Dr. Ellis Silver, an author of the book “Humans are not from Earth: A Scientific Evaluation of the Evidence,” has a strong belief that life on Earth was sparked by aliens thousands of years ago. He said, “Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more.” (Source)

Ellis strongly believes that Earth is some kind of galactic jail made by aliens to teach humans a behavior lesson. Similarly, in 2019, members of METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence), a San Francisco-based research organization, convened in Paris and suggested that we could all be living in a Galactic Zoo run by aliens.

Florence Raulin Cerceau, who is the METI director as well as an astrobiologist explained: “This puzzle of why we haven’t detected extraterrestrial life has been discussed often,” adding, “But in this workshop’s unique focus, many of the talks tackled a controversial explanation first suggested in the 1970s, called the ‘zoo hypothesis.’” METI president Douglas Vakoch weighed in by saying, “Perhaps extraterrestrials are watching humans on Earth, much like we watch animals in a zoo.” (Source)

MIT researcher John Ball presented the zoo hypothesis in his 1973 paper. He wrote, “Extraterrestrial intelligent life may be almost ubiquitous,” adding, “The apparent failure of such life to interact with us may be understood in terms of the hypothesis that they have set us aside as part of a wilderness area or zoo.” He later wrote in another research paper: “ETI may be discreetly and inconspicuously watching us but not dabbling.”

Additionally, former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent, UFO advocate, and media personality Luis Elizondo explained his reasoning behind claiming that UFO mysteries have made him “somber.” His speculative ideas are straight out of middle 20th-century science fiction, particularly the so-called “zoo hypothesis” that appeared in a number of stories at that time, imagining that Earth was essentially a zoo run by space aliens.

“What if it turns out that there’s another species that is even higher on that ladder than we are? Do we need the social institutions that we have today, do we need government and religious organizations that we have today, if it turns out that there is something else or someone else that is technologically more advanced and, perhaps from an evolutionary perspective, more advanced? Have we been wasting our time all this time? Or are we doing exactly as we are supposed to be doing?

[What] if it turns out that mankind is in fact just another animal in the zoo? If we saw ourselves as the zookeeper before, maybe we’re just another exhibit inside the zoo? What would that mean to us?

So, when I say ‘somber’ or ‘sobering’, I mean there’s going to come a point in this conversation when we’re going to have to do a lot of reconciling with ourselves, whatever that means, from whatever philosophical background you have. This is going to impact every single one of us. And I think that’s important. Do we find ourselves in a situation where history may have to be rewritten? So that’s what I meant.”

I was searching through NASA Mars photos when I came across one that had two interesting artifacts. One is a crashed alien ship that has a wing or rudder in the front tip. You can also make out an oval on the top center which looks like it's a cockpit of the pilot. Also there was a second discovery, a face with a hat. The face looks like an older person that is sad or serous, the lips, nose, eyes, forehead and temples are also very visible and gave it away as a person that is similar in appliance to humans...at least in the face. It is wearing a had, like that of a leader, or religious leader.

Psychologist Carl Jung’s Fascination with UFOs

Posted by: Alejandro Rojas 

Some view Carl Jung as a UFO debunker, others as a UFO believer, but the truth is he was somewhere in the middle. Either way, it is certain that Jung was an avid UFO researcher and fascinated with the topic. He wrote a book about the psychological symbolism and the role the UFO mythos plays in the unconscious mind.  Moreover, on several occasions Jung complained that his studies would have been much easier if the UFO phenomenon was not real.

Jung the Psychologist

Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875. His father was a pastor in the Swiss Reformed Protestant Church, and his mother was from a wealthy Swiss family. He was the Jungs’ fourth child, but was the only child who survived into his childhood. As such, he grew up as an only child. Later, he wrote that he remembered enjoying his solitude.

His first experience with neurosis was at the age of twelve when a fellow student shoved him, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground very hard. He remembered associating this experience with schoolwork, and whenever he had to go to school or do schoolwork he would faint. Overhearing his parents’ concern that this condition would cause him to be unable to support himself as an adult, Jung fought to overcome the problem and eventually returned to academics.

Although Jung had a profound interest in spirituality, his experiences triggered an interest in psychology and he decided to pursue a career in medicine. It wasn’t long before he realized that studies in psychology would allow him to combine his interests in medicine and spirituality, and in 1902, he completed his doctoral dissertation, which was titled “On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena.” He graduated with a medical degree from the University of Basel.

After graduating, Jung went to work with psychiatric patients at the University of Zurich asylum. He wrote a paper on word association that he sent to Sigmund Freud. Freud was impressed with Jung’s work, and they quickly became very close. Freud considered Jung his successor. However, after several years, Jung began to develop his own ideas beyond the work of Freud, and due to their disagreements, the relationship turned adversarial.

Freud’s work with the ego and unconscious served as a foundation for Jung’s work. They both felt that disconnects between the conscious and unconscious minds caused neurosis in people. They also both relied on dream interpretation to explore a person’s unconscious mind as a method for subsequently resolving neurosis. In fact, one story holds that Jung and Freud interpreted each other’s dreams and both completely disagreed with the other’s analysis, thus hastening the dissolution of their friendship.

A major area of disagreement between the two was that Jung did not believe a person’s unconscious was driven solely by sexual desires, as Freud did. Jung believed other strong emotions such as fear and aspiration were just as influential. He also conceived of a deeper level of the unconscious called the collective unconscious, which he believed is a part of our unconscious mind that holds ideas and concepts shared by all humankind. He believed these base ideas are then shaped by our cultural perceptions and personal experience. For example, we all have ideas around the notions of mothers, fathers, wise elders, etc. Jung called these shared notions archetypes. Jung felt that these archetypes not only would manifest in dreams, but could be seen in people’s creative works and behavior, including art, religion, and mythology.

Jung’s contributions to psychology are numerous. Even today his ideas of extraversion and introversion are a mainstay in personality psychology. He also came up with the idea of psychological complexes and synchronicities. All of these ideas and terms are commonly used in everyday conversation today, and all were made popular by Jung.

Jung and Alchemy

It is the idea of the archetype that brought Jung to have a particular interest in UFOs. When Jung interpreted psychological meaning he would search for archetypal figures. As mentioned earlier, such figures could be a mother or father.  But, in a mythological story, the archetype may be the hero, a dragon, or even a planetary entity such as the sun. However, Jung also had an interested in alchemy.

Alchemy is typically connected to legends of ancient mystics attempting to unravel the secret of turning lead into gold. The work of alchemists is credited with the development of modern chemistry. However, another side of alchemy is spiritual in nature, relating to personal transformation. Jung had a passion for alchemy in this sense, and felt that the metal lead was a metaphor for an impure soul, whereas gold was a metaphor for a perfected soul. Jung’s interest in alchemy was thus as a method of purifying the soul.

Jung wrote a couple of books focused on interpreting alchemical symbolism and processes as different stages of personal growth that mirrored his ideas. He felt these symbols were archetypes that were unconsciously manifesting in the work of alchemists. Although he acknowledged the physical goals of alchemy (an attempt to transmute lead into gold), Jung did not give it much attention in his writing and focused on the non-physical aspects that related to his psychological theories. This is very similar to the way he approached the topic of UFOs.

Jung and UFOs

In 1951, Jung wrote to a friend in the United States: “I am puzzled to death about the phenomena, because I haven’t been able yet to make out with sufficient certainty whether the whole thing is a rumour with concomitant singular and mass hallucination, or a downright fact.”

Although Jung showed an interest in the mystery of the physical reality of the UFO phenomenon, professionally he stated, “As a psychologist, I am not qualified to contribute anything useful to the question of the physical reality of Ufos.” However, Jung could contribute by analyzing the unmistakable psychological side to the UFO phenomenon. In 1958, several of Jung’s papers regarding the psychology of UFOs were published in a book. It was originally published in German, but in 1959 it was translated to English under the title, Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies.

In the book, Jung argued that although there may be a physical reality to UFOs, there is certainly a portion of the phenomenon that is fantasy. He examined the difficulty many have in accepting fantastical stories of UFOs, even when they come from pilots, and points out, “What is worse, most of the stories come from America, the land of superlatives and of science fiction.”

For the sake of argument, and to examine the psychological aspects of the phenomenon, Jung presumed that UFOs are fantasy. This is an important aspect that many critics overlook when they characterize Jung as dismissive of the phenomenon altogether. UFO researchers also tend not to appreciate the portions of Jung’s book in which he examined the UFO phenomenon in regards to archetypal imagery and alchemic symbolism. Jung himself assures his readers that although his work may appear to be “unbridled fantasy” to those unfamiliar with psychology, it is actually based on “thorough research into the history of symbols.”

In his book, Jung observed that most UFO sightings describe the objects as disc shaped, which is a symbol that is often seen in alchemy and existed in the mythology of other cultures. For example, the Hindu and Buddhist symbol of the mandala is a circular disc-shaped symbol. Jung believed that the mandala is a protective sphere, which is elicited in the unconscious in times of emotional tension. Jung noted that, around the time of many of the UFO sightings, the world was under a collective stress due to “Russian policies and their still unpredictable consequences.” In short, he felt that perhaps UFOs were appearing in visions at the time because of the world’s Cold War jitters, and that the UFOs were a manifestation of a need for protection and salvation.

Jung’s book also provided detail of the analysis of particular sightings and art. One of the significant contributions to ufology made by the book is a focus on two historical broadsheets, a type of ancient newspaper, that recorded mysterious apparitions that many have speculated to be UFO related. Although Jung asserted that these reports were in the UFO literature prior to the publication of his book, Jung clearly made them popular as potential ancient UFO sightings.

The first is referred to as the Basel Broadsheet, and it dates back to 1566. It was written by Samuel Coccius and is a report of “many large black globes” that were seen flying in front of the sun “with great speed.” The Basel Broadsheet notes, “Some of them became red and fiery and afterwards faded and went out.” Jung noted the similarity of this phenomenon to modern UFO accounts.

The second report is called the Nuremberg Broadsheet and dates back to 1561. This report chronicles a “very frightful spectacle” that was witnessed by several people. Again, “globes” were seen near the sun, “some three in a row, now and then four in a square, also some standing alone.” There were also “two great tubes.” Jung noted that in UFO literature large tubes are considered “motherships,” and have been reported to have smaller discs that appear to fly out of them.

The Physical Reality of UFOs

In his book, Jung also examined the possibility of the physical reality of UFOs. He noted that, “unfortunately,” UFOs cannot be dismissed as purely psychological in nature. He pointed to numerous sightings, some of which have been caught in photographs and on radar. Jung even poked fun at astronomer Donald Menzel, a UFO debunker, saying that he “has not succeeded, despite all his efforts, in offering a scientific explanation of even one authentic UFO report.” 

Jung was well-versed on UFO research. He wrote, “since 1947 I have collected all of the books I could get a hold of on the subject.” He was also a member of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), an early civilian UFO organization that included many credible members. In fact, in his book, Jung often referred to the work of Major Donald Keyhoe, a cofounder and director of NICAP.

Prior to releasing his book, Jung was considered by UFO researchers to be a proponent of the physical reality of UFOs. In 1955, he wrote an article on UFOs for a British journal called the Flying Saucer Review. In the article, Jung stated that he had never seen a UFO himself, but that “I can only say for certain: these things are not a mere rumour: something has been seen.”

He went on to argue that the U.S. Air Force “despite its contradictory statements,” considers the phenomenon to be real and they conduct official investigations. He warned that, by concealing information on the topic, the military is making it more likely that people will panic since the public is denied “an adequate picture of what is happening.”

Jung also stated that “the ‘disks’ (that is, the objects themselves) do not behave in accordance with physical laws, but as though without weight, and they show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi human pilots, for their accelerations are such that no normal human could survive.”

Not much was made of Jung’s 1955 article until it was reprinted in 1958 by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) in the organization’s bulletin in July 1958. APRO posted the story as part of an announcement that Jung had agreed to become an official consultant for the organization. The New York Herald Tribune quickly picked up on the report and printed a story with the headline, “Dr. Jung Says ‘Flying Disks’ Suggest Quasi-Human Pilots.”

Jung was not happy with the implication that he believed UFOs represented a physical phenomenon and later wrote a letter to United Press International news agency clarifying his position. He wrote: “I expressly state that I cannot commit myself on the question to the physical reality or unreality of the UFOs since I do not possess sufficient evidence either for or against.” He then stated, “Something is seen, but it isn’t known what.” Jung later repeated this statement in his 1958 book and in several letters.

Although Jung was clearly embarrassed by the public perception that he conclusively believed flying saucers were physical in nature, he later reiterated his prior statements and earlier criticisms of the U.S. Air Force’s handling of the matter in very strong words. He wrote:

In spite of the fact that I hold my judgment concerning UFOs—temporarily let’s hope—in abeyance, I thought it worthwhile to throw a light upon the rich fantasy material which has accumulated round the peculiar observations in the skies. Any new experience has two aspects: (I) the pure fact and (2) the way one conceives of it. It is the latter I am concerned with. If it is true that the [American Air Force] or the Government withholds telltale facts, then one can only say that this is the most unpsychological and stupid policy one could invent. Nothing helps rumours and panics more than ignorance.

It is no wonder that many have been confused as to Jung’s official stance on UFOs. He seems to have believed the phenomenon and sightings to be real, but is uncertain whether UFOs are a physical reality or are limited to a psychological phenomenon. He stated that although “by all human standards it hardly seems possible to doubt this any longer,” in the decade or more he had been studying the topic, neither he nor anyone else seems to have learned much from the study of the physical aspect of UFOs. Jung said that this is precisely why he found it much more fruitful to study the psychological aspects of UFOs, an area in which he felt he had gained an abundance of knowledge.

Jung may be right. Concrete physical proof of UFOs continues to elude us to this day. Yet, Jung is another example of a luminary who garners a great amount of respect in his field of study, who also had the vision to seriously consider the UFO phenomenon. His UFO interest is a story that should not be forgotten, and his insights into the phenomenon may help guide us today, just as his insights into the human mind continue to be a part of the bedrock of modern psychological understanding.

Exploring the Billy Meier Case

Posted by: Jason McClellan  

Extraterrestrials from another dimension began visiting a young boy in 1942. These visitors imparted wisdom and guidance to the boy to prepare him to become a great prophet. When he became a man, the extraterrestrials permitted him to snap photographs and record video of their spaceships. And they even whisked him away on time-traveling adventures. At least that is how Billy Meier tells the story of his life.

The case of Eduard Albert “Billy” Meier is one of the most well-known and controversial cases in ufology. Meier claims to have personally interacted with multiple extraterrestrials during his life, taken more than a thousand of the clearest UFO photos, and written word-for-word transcripts of his conversations with these extraterrestrials. He even established a church of sorts, called Freie Interessengemeinschaft für Grenz- und Geisteswissenschaften und Ufologiestudien (translation: Free Community of Interests for the Fringe and Spiritual Sciences and Ufological Studies), or FIGU, to spread the teachings of the extraterrestrials. As to where Meier got the nickname “Billy,” according to the FIGU website, the name was given to him by an American woman named Judy Reed: “Eduard Meier, wearing a black hat and a gun belt, reminded her of ‘Billy the Kid,’ the ‘legendary gunman of the Wild West.’”

A Brief Biography

Billy Meier was born in the small village of Bülach, Switzerland, on February 3, 1937. Meier was the second of seven children born to Julius Meier, a shoemaker, and his wife, Bertha. In the book, Spaceships of the Pleiades, author Kal K. Korff explains that, in Meier’s younger years, he “spent his time working various manual labor jobs, dodging truant officers, and having occasional brushes with the law.” Korff alleges that Meier repeatedly found himself in correctional facilities and repeatedly escaped from these facilities. After escaping from the Aarburg correctional facility in Rheinau, Switzerland, Meier reportedly fled to France, where he joined the French Foreign Legion. Only a few months later, Meier deserted the Legion, but then turned himself over to authorities in Switzerland.

After the “transgressions of his youth,” as Korff puts it, Meier traveled extensively through Europe, Africa, and Asia. He performed a variety of jobs to support himself along his travels, including “chicken farmer, grape picker, nail pounder, snake catcher, truck driver, puppeteer, waiter, German tutor, and ship painter,” according to Korff. Along his multi-continent journey, Meier reportedly joined most of the religions of Europe, Africa, and Asia in search of a “belief system acceptable to him,” according to UFO researcher Lieutenant Colonel Wendelle Stevens.

During his travels, Meier lost one of his arms in a gruesome bus accident. On August 3, 1965, Meier was riding in a bus in Iskenderun, Turkey, when the drunk driver of another bus crashed into Meier’s bus. The impact ejected Meier from the bus and crushed his left arm so severely that it had to be amputated.

Billy Meier

Meier, undeterred, continued his travels and relocated to Greece, where he met Kalliope Zafiriou, whom he married in March 1966. The couple moved to Pakistan, where their first child, Gilgamesha, was born. Then in 1970, Meier returned to Switzerland with his family, where, they later welcomed their second child, Atlantis-Socrates, into the world. Their youngest child, Methusalem, was born in 1973. The family rented a farm house in the town of Hinwil in northeastern Switzerland. And while Meier was a skilled farmer, the loss of his arm limited what he could accomplish. He received a small monthly welfare payment from the Swiss government because of his handicap, but to supplement the family’s income, Meier raised chickens and sold their eggs.

In 1974, Meier placed an ad in the German magazine Esotera seeking, “anyone who might wish to form a group for discussing and studying ‘metaphysical’ or paranormal subjects.” People responded to the ad, and a study group was born. It was at one of these meetings where Meier first made the astonishing claim that he was in direct contact with extraterrestrials.

Meier’s extraordinary claims garnered international attention when Swiss UFO researcher Lou Zinsstag sent some of Meier’s photos to Wendelle Stevens in the United States. Stevens went to Switzerland to investigate the case and, as a result, he published, UFO . . . Contact from the Pleiades, as well as Message from the Pleiades, a four-volume set of books related to the case. As one of the primary researchers of the Meier case, Stevens’s multi-year investigation played a large part in introducing Billy Meier to the world, as well as the world to Billy Meier.

Meier’s UFO and Extraterrestrial Contact

Meier reportedly saw his first UFO at the age of five on June 2, 1942. He continued seeing UFOs, and the sightings increased in frequency. Meier also began hearing a voice in his head, and later that year, Meier experienced his first alleged physical extraterrestrial contact. Wendelle Stevens described this encounter in his book, UFO . . . Contact from the Pleiades:

In November that same year, shortly before his 6^th birthday, [Meier] saw a pear-shaped object suddenly drop from the sky, and settle gently on the meadow grass in a woods near their home town of Bülach. An old man took him into the ship and high above Earth, then brought him back to the same meadow and let him out. The ship then shot up vertically at high speed until out of sight.

Meier says that this “old man” who took him for a ride on a spaceship was named Sfath. According to Stevens, Sfath continued communicating with Meier telepathically for a year and half, then returned in his pear-shaped craft to take Meier on another adventure, and “imparted a great deal of knowledge and told of events to come, much of which he did not understand at the time.” The next extraterrestrial to contact Meier was a female named Asket. Meier alleges his contact with Asket began in 1953, and she picked up where Sfath left off. She was apparently responsible for educating Meier, who, according to Kal K. Korff’s book Spaceships of the Pleiades, dropped out of school before finishing the sixth grade. In UFO . . . Contact from the Pleiades, Stevens explains Asket’s role in Meier’s life:

It was she who led him through a series of adventures designed to toughen him for the adversity to come. It was she who led him through Africa and the experiences in the French Foreign Legion, the Desert Caravans, the slavers, revolutionaries and bootleggers; into the hands of the pirates of the Arabian Sea, and across the Indian Ocean as a sailor with the freighters to the sub-continent of India.

It was Asket who led Meier to explore many careers, travel the world, and experience as much as possible.  

In 1975, Meier began his contacts with Semjase—another female extraterrestrial—with whom he allegedly had more than one hundred face-to-face encounters. Semjase lends her name to the FIGU headquarters in Switzerland—the Semjase Silver Star Center. It was she who allowed Meier to begin photographing her “beamship” and other UFOs.

Quetzal, Ptaah, and Nera are three additional extraterrestrials who, along with Sfath, Asket, and Semjase, are the most commonly mentioned characters in the Billy Meier story. But these are only six out of the dozens of extraterrestrials Meier claims to have met. According to the FIGU website, Meier has had more than nine hundred personal contacts with extraterrestrials.

Pleiadeans, Plejarens, Errans, and DALs

Sfath, like most other extraterrestrials that Meier supposedly encountered, was a Pleiadean—a human being (nearly identical in physical appearance to Earthlings), from the M45 star-cluster known as the Pleiades in the constellation Taurus. But this is not the Pleiades observable by Earth’s astronomers. This Pleiades is apparently, “not within our space-time configuration,” according to author and FIGU member Guido Moosbrugger. In his book about the Meier case titled, And Yet . . . They Fly, Moosbrugger describes that, “Pleiadeans exist in a physical dimension that is shifted a fraction of a second ahead of our space-time configuration and is located approximately 500 light-years from Earth’s prospective—an additional 80 light-years beyond our dimension’s Pleiades star system.”

The Pleiadeans reportedly inhabit many planets, but their home world is a planet called Erra. Meier has referred to people from Erra as Errans; and Pleiadeans, in general, are sometimes referred to as Plejarens, because in their dimension, the Pleiades are known as Plejaren.

But Meier’s alleged extraterrestrial contacts were not isolated to Plejarens. He claims to have encountered extraterrestrials from different galaxies, systems, and universes, including the DAL Universe, which is the alleged home of Asket.  In UFO . . . Contact from the Pleiades, Stevens states that the DAL Universe is a “counterpart universe to this of our reality.”

The Evidence

Photograph of “Wedding cake” UFO by Billy Meier April 3, 1981.

From his numerous contacts, Meier claims to have taken more than a thousand UFO photos. Stevens, who, at one point, claimed to own the largest private UFO photo collection in the world, stated that Meier’s photos were “the most spectacular photographs” he had ever seen. Meier’s photographs remain some of the clearest UFO photos to date. But the authenticity of these photos is heavily debated. Stevens and the early Meier researchers claim to have had select photos examined by multiple laboratories, proving their legitimacy. In UFO . . . Contact from the Pleiades, Stevens states that the tested photos, “have withstood all efforts to positively dispute them.” However, Kal Korff identified many questionable characteristics in the photos, and even challenged Stevens’s purported testing in his booklet, The Meier Incident: The Most Infamous Hoax in Ufology. He points out that the tested photos were low-quality copies and not originals. Korff states that, according to Stevens, the best copies that could be obtained “for the purpose of photographic analysis and computer testing were internegatives which yielded anywhere from second through sixth-generation copy prints.” Korff contacted one of the labs where the Meier photos were supposedly analyzed, which resulted in “categorical denial that an analysis was ever done.” But according to Jim Dilettoso who, along with Stevens, facilitated the testing, there is a reason for the denial:

[We] found many professionals, who under secrecy and non-disclosure agreements tested these UFO pictures. This included Jet Propulsion Laboratory, EG&G, and USNRL. The secrecy was critical. These labs were not generally authorized to perform personal projects, like testing UFO pictures. So when other UFO researchers, hell bent on getting into the case, made inquiries into some of the places we had been, they would, (as agreed,) deny any involvement on their part in testing the Billy Meier UFO photographs. 

Photo analysis aside, Korff and other skeptics have suggested that the UFOs in Meier’s photos are simply models. It was not extraordinary in the pre-Photoshop days of the 1970s for someone to hoax a UFO photo by photographing models, Frisbees, hubcaps, and other physical objects. And while some Meier supporters are quick to contend that it would be impossible for a one-armed man to stage UFO photos, Meier himself admits to taking pictures of UFO models. Burned photos of these models were allegedly found in Meier’s trash can by Martin Sorge, who at one time was Meier’s friend. As with many details of the Meier story, there are divergent accounts of this incident. While some accounts claim that Meier’s children created models of the UFOs, other accounts credit Meier with creating the models. In UFO . . . Contact from the Pleiades, Stevens explains, “When I asked about the models of the spaceships he readily admitted trying to model them even though they did not come out well. He even tried photographing the models and the result was so bad that he threw the pictures away.”

But a different account is presented by Guido Moosbrugger in And Yet . . . They Fly!:

One day in 1975, Semjase loaned Billy a model of her beamship for a short period to take a few pictures of it and then be returned. On the basis of these snapshots, Billy planned to construct his own model spacecraft, but this plan never came to fruition. A serious mishap occurred to the negatives of these model photographs—they slipped off the office tabletop into a wastepaper basket and were not found until after the entire contents had landed in a fireplace. Kalliope, Billy’s wife, discovered the more or less burned negatives in the ashes and handed them over to one of the group members to be restored, if possible.

It is interesting to note that Billy and Kalliope divorced, and she has since stated in interviews with Korff and Swiss UFO researcher and author Luc Buergin that Meier hoaxed his UFO photos and fabricated the tales of extraterrestrial encounters. However, this contradicts her previous statements that Meier’s contacts were real and that she, herself, witnessed events with Billy.

Select Meier photos have received far more skepticism than others. Among those are photos that Meier allegedly took during his travels through space and time with the extraterrestrials. Some of these photos show dinosaurs that Meier allegedly took on the planet Neber. But some researchers, like the Independent Investigations Group, contend that the dinosaurs in these photos are simply illustrations from a book that was published in 1972 titled Life Before Man, which was written by Zdenek V. Spinar. The illustrated dinosaurs in this book do appear to be identical to the dinosaurs in the Meier photos.

Billy Meier alleged dinosaur image (left) compared to image from “Life Before Man.”

Another highly criticized set of photos purports to show Asket and Nera aboard a beamship. The women in these photos have been identified as Michelle DellaFave and Susan Lund, who were members of the Golddiggers—a singing and dancing troupe that appeared on the Dean Martin Variety Show. According to a letter posted to the FIGU website by Meier in May 1998, the extraterrestrial Ptaah informed Meier that the photographs of Asket and Nera were actually of their American doubles. Meier went on to explain that the “Men in Black” had intercepted his film, found look-alikes for Asket and Nera, took pictures of them, and substituted these false images for the originals of the Asket/Nera photos. And, he claims the “Men in Black” performed this same trickery with most of his early photos.

One lesser-known Meier photo shows Meier standing in the middle of what appears to be a ring of fiery light. This picture appears in Moosbrugger’s book, And Yet . . . They Fly!, and is explained to be an “energy belt” of “burning static electricity” emanating from Quetzal’s ship above Meier, which does not appear in the photo. Meier’s arm is extended over his head in the photo, allegedly holding a microphone to record the sound of Quetzal’s ship. Multiple researchers have pointed out that the ring of fire in this photo looks suspiciously identical to steel wool being swung overhead by someone.

Aside from his photographs, Meier furnishes other evidence to corroborate his claims of extraterrestrial contact, including metal samples, and even an extraterrestrial weapon. Meier gave these metal samples to Stevens, and Stevens had these samples tested by various labs. According to Stevens, tests showed that the elements in the samples were “put together in a very unusual way from normal Earth technology,” and that most of the elements studied showed “un-Earthly characteristics.” Dr. Marcel Vogel, a chemist, performed several tests on the metals. But according to Kal Korff, Dr. Vogel says the claims made in Stevens’s book contradict his opinions. According to Moosbrugger, analysis was also conducted by a metallurgist from the University of Arizona who, “examined one of the metal fragments and analyzed it as a simple ‘cooking pot metal’ or cheap cast metal alloy used to produce such things as tin soldiers.”    

Meier claims that an extraterrestrial woman, Alena, left a ray gun with him, but cautioned him not to fire it. Unable to resist the temptation, Meier fired the weapon at a nearby fruit tree, burning a hole completely through the trunk of the tree. Meier showed the tree to Stevens, who took photos of the hole in the tree, and examined it with his finger. But to Stevens, the internal wood of this hole did not appear to have been burned.

Conclusion

The information provided in this article barely scratches the surface of the decades-long Billy Meier story. Meier claims to have much more evidence, including audio recordings, UFO films, and tomes of transcripts from his encounters that are filled with extraterrestrial wisdom. Meier even asserts that, because of his claims, there have been multiple assassination attempts on his life! From this brief overview, it is easy to see why the Billy Meier story is so controversial, and, without a doubt, the most polarizing case in the history of ufology.

Unraveling the Mystery of UFO Sightings: A Deep Dive into a Naval Intelligence Officer’s Encounter

The question of whether we are alone in the universe is one that has intrigued mankind for centuries. With recent UFO sightings becoming more frequent and the Pentagon admitting to mysterious flying orbs, this question seems even more pressing. One such notable account comes from a Naval Intelligence Officer, Matthew Roberts.

Decoding the UFO Sightings Phenomenon

Recent revelations from the Pentagon have turned the world’s attention towards the mysterious and unexplained UFO sightings. As the frequency of such sightings increases, individuals across the globe are becoming more vocal about their personal experiences, leading to a massive surge in search interest around “UFO sightings.”

• The Phoenix Lights: Unravelling the Greatest UFO Mystery in History

@Motherboard, keeping abreast of this growing interest, recently unveiled a four-part docuseries titled “ENCOUNTERS” on Netflix. The docuseries, a collaboration between VICE Studios, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, Boardwalk Pictures, and Netflix, not only delves into these sightings but also humanizes the experiences, providing viewers with firsthand accounts from those who claim to have encountered these unidentified flying objects.

The series, directed by Yon Motskin, promises a riveting journey across Texas, Wales, Zimbabwe, and Japan, retracing the steps of those who’ve witnessed these unexplained phenomena.

Matthew Roberts: A Witness from Within the Military

The account of Matthew Roberts stands out. A cryptologic technician in the US Navy for 16 years, Roberts was aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt during what’s infamously known as the ‘gimbal event.’

Upon watching the footage of the event, Roberts was struck by the unidentified flying object’s unique movement and form. Unlike any conventional aircraft, this UFO lacked any recognizable aviation surfaces – no wings, tail, or rudders. Roberts, having had access to classified data due to his role, knew that such occurrences weren’t isolated incidents. The Navy had been documenting them for a long time.

In 2017, upon transferring to the Office of Naval Intelligence, his experiences with the unexplained intensified. Claims of encounters with nonhuman entities in his room became a regular occurrence. Waking up to feel himself being taken, spotting shadowy figures – all these accounts lend weight to Roberts’ conviction that we’re not alone.

Roberts believes in the presence of ample sensor and radar evidence about these UFO sightings. His sentiment echoes the larger public sentiment that if all the data were made available without any explanation, it would erase any skepticism about the phenomenon’s authenticity.

'Einstein ring' snapped by James Webb Space Telescope is most distant gravitationally lensed object ever seen

By Harry Baker

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken a stunning image of a perfectly formed Einstein ring, which is also the most distant gravitationally lensed object ever detected.

In the field of one of JWST's largest-area surveys, COSMOS-Web, an Einstein ring was discovered around a compact, distant galaxy. It turns out to be the most distant gravitational lens ever discovered by a few billion light-years.

Photos snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed the farthest-ever example of an "Einstein ring." The record-breaking halo of warped light, which is a whopping 21 billion light-years away, is unusually perfect and surrounds a mysteriously dense galaxy.

An Einstein ring is an extremely rare type of gravitationally lensed object that was first predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Gravitational lensing occurs when the immense gravity of a massive foreground object, such as a galaxy cluster or a black hole, warps space-time around itself; light emitted by more distant objects, such as galaxies or supernovas, that passes through this warped space-time also appears curved and warped from our perspective on Earth.

This effect also magnifies the light of the object being lensed, similar to how a magnifying glass works, allowing astronomers to study distant objects in greater detail than is normally possible. Most gravitationally lensed objects form arcs or partial rings that surround the foreground object. But a true Einstein ring forms a complete circle around the closer entity, which is possible only when the distant object, foreground object and observer are perfectly aligned.

In a new study uploaded Sept. 14 to the preprint server arXiv and accepted for publication in the journal Nature Astronomy, researchers discovered the new eerily circular Einstein ring, named JWST-ER1, within the COSMOS-Web survey, a detailed map of more than 500,000 galaxies captured during a 200-hour continuous JWST observation.

JWST-ER1 has two parts: JWST-ER1g, the compact galaxy that acts as the lensing object in the foreground; and JWST-ER1r, the light from a more distant galaxy that forms the luminous ring. JWST-ER1g is located around 17 billion light-years from Earth, while JWST-ER1r is another 4 billion light-years farther away. Until now, the farthest detected lensing object was around 14.7 billion light-years away, according to BigThink.com. (While the age of the universe itself is estimated to be about 13.7 billion years, the universe's constant expansion means that light from the oldest objects must travel much farther than this to reach our telescopes).

Thanks to the complete ring of JWST-ER1, researchers calculated the mass of the lensing galaxy by seeing how much it had warped space-time around itself. This revealed that the galaxy has a mass equivalent to around 650 billion suns, which makes it unusually dense for its size. Some of this extra mass can be explained by dark matter, the mysterious, invisible matter that makes up around 85% of all matter in the universe. But even then, it is unlikely that there are enough stars to account for the rest of the galaxy's heft based on the researchers' calculations.

"Additional mass is needed to explain the lensing results," but it is not exactly clear what this mass is, the researchers wrote in the paper.

Other, similarly old and equally dense galaxies have been detected before, which suggests there is something common about these ancient star factories that makes them so massive. One explanation is that these galaxies harbor much more dark matter than expected, while another theory suggests that they may have more small-mass stars lurking within them than younger galaxies do. But more work is needed to find out.

This is not the first true Einstein ring spotted by JWST. In September 2022, a Reddit user discovered a perfectly circular ring of light from the galaxy JO418, located around 12 billion light-years from Earth, lensed around a closer galaxy.

JWST has also utilized gravitational lensing to snap the most distant star ever detected and one of the universe's oldest galaxies.

David Grusch Credits Elizondo Galactic Zoo Theory: Aliens Are Studying Us & UFO Crashes Are Intentional

David Grusch, a former 14-year high-ranking intelligence officer, is one of the three whistleblowers who testified before Congress on July 26, 2023, in the historical UAP hearings. After two months, Grusch appeared in a lengthy interview with Jesse Michels, where he discussed his claims broadly and also disclosed some more information related to his claims.

His testimony highlights that the US government has been concealing evidence of UFOs and indications of non-human intelligence. He declined to provide this information publicly but claimed to have shared it with the intelligence committees and the Inspector General and suggested discussing it in a closed environment.

Grusch has the support of many individuals in authority who believe he is an authentic person. In this June 2023 edition of the Debrief, authors Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal mention Karl E. Nell, a retired Army Colonel and aerospace executive who worked with David Grusch and characterized Grusch as “beyond reproach.” Nell speaks highly of Grusch’s integrity and credibility in his role as the Army’s liaison for the UAP Task Force from 2021 to 2022. (Click here to read the full article)

In the recent interview with Jesse Michels, Grusch discussed a range of topics, including the severe penalties faced by the leakers of classified UFO information, the existence of “nonhuman intelligence” pilots operating UFOs, and the initial reasons for concealing UFO information, which included concerns about societal shock and adversarial nations like Russia.

Grusch also highlighted the connection between the Manhattan Project and laws related to UFO secrecy, as well as the existence of a classified project related to UFOs separate from Project Blue Book. He suggested that the technology of these “nonhuman intelligence” entities may be highly advanced but evolved asymmetrically compared to humans, emphasizing their interest in nuclear technology. Luis Elizondo hinted that US Military had created an environment to attract UFOs so that they could study them. (Click here to read the full article)

Grusch cites a previous statement made by Lue Elizondo, a former Pentagon UFO official, regarding the “Galactic Zoo hypothesis.” This hypothesis suggests that extraterrestrials are observing us, possibly explaining the nature of these beings. It is evident that Grusch takes care to directly reference Elizondo’s prior interview, where he mentioned that these extraterrestrials are intentionally designed to have a humanoid appearance for interaction with humans.

David Fravor is another UFO whistleblower who testified along with Grusch before Congress. He discussed an encounter where he and his team were informed by a controller that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) had been observed for over two weeks descending rapidly from over 80,000 feet to 20,000 feet, hovering for extended periods, and then quickly ascending again. Michels and Grusch engage in a conversation about the mysterious nature of these objects, with Michels suggesting that they seem to exhibit awareness and play a sort of cat-and-mouse game with observers.

Grusch said, “Yeah, I know. I’ve had some folks I talked to that had their own kind of up-close kind of sightings. They said that they got that vibe too, you know? Who knows if that’s psychosomatic or sure or what, but they did get a vibe like that too… I’ve had a very smart guy who was like, ‘Well, did Darwin care to fully conceal himself when he studied the finches?’ And it’s like, they observe. They don’t really care, right? And they don’t really care to interact, but they’re just here to observe.”

The discussion touches on the idea that these UFOs might be studying or observing human activity, similar to anthropologists studying a tribe, and explores analogies like the “gorilla in the cage” and the possibility of these objects having an interest in nuclear power.

Big Think writes, “The Zoo Hypothesis, proposed by the MIT radio astronomer John A. Ball in 1973, says that aliens may be avoiding contact with us on purpose, so as not to interfere with our evolution and the development of our societies. The human civilization could be essentially living in a ‘zoo’ or a space wildlife sanctuary, where others populating the cosmos dare not go. By staying clear of us, they avoid interplanetary contamination.

The hypothesis makes the most sense in a crowded universe, if there are many civilizations which set up rules by which they govern their coexistence. Of course, if there are many extraterrestrial players, it is also doubtful that one of them wouldn’t have somehow contacted us, even if by accident. Maybe that’s what the Earth’s alien hunters are picking up on – random, unsanctioned interactions.”

• Ex-CIA Pilot Said US Buried Huge UFO That Was Too Big To Move, Corroborating Coulthart Claim

In 2016, Josh Hrala told ScienceAlert that while the zoo hypothesis does assume that aliens exist, perhaps the reason why they are not interacting with us is because they do not want to have any influence on our society and just want to keep observing us from far away. This makes sense as Grusch insinuates in the interview that the initial reasoning for hiding the information was the ontological shock it would cause in society due to society’s religiousness at the time, along with concealing the information from adversaries like Russia.

Why do they crash?

In the interview, Grusch suggested that UFO crashes may have been intentionally seeded to test humanity’s development in relation to being exposed to this technology. Astronomer Jacques Vallee thinks UFO crashes are not accidental events, but rather intentional occurrences that serve a specific purpose for the mysterious visitors.

Anomalien.com writes, “Vallee begins by pointing out that the evidence for UFO crashes is very weak and often contradictory. He argues that most of the alleged crash sites have never been properly investigated or verified by independent experts, and that many of the witnesses and whistleblowers who claim to have seen or handled alien bodies or debris are unreliable or have ulterior motives.”

He also mentions that the UFOs and the materials they are made of do not follow the normal rules of science and engineering. He thinks this is because the UFOs are intentionally confusing us, making us see things that do not make sense on purpose.

Vallee said, “There is plenty of data – and it should be analyzed further. But I do not think it’s going to be a propeller from a flying saucer. I think it is going to be things that would be interesting if you could find a pattern to the material. I’m skeptical about stories of crashed saucers; I have an open mind about it, but I’ve heard those stories for so many years and they never really amount to anything tangible. Also, I am skeptical for another reason: We build technologies now that are extremely reliable where there is the need. How often does your hard disk crash? I mean, if you keep your computer for 15 years, eventually the hard disk is going to crash. But you don’t expect that to happen. If you were going to build a technology that takes you across interstellar space, it would have to be extremely reliable.” (Source)

According to Vallee, the UFOs do not want to interact with us directly. Instead, they want to create a mysterious situation that makes us question what is real and what is not. He believes that these UFO events are like a big test for humanity. They want to see how we react – whether we get curious, scared, amazed, doubtful, or obsessed. Vallee thinks that how we react to these UFOs could change how we evolve and what our future looks like.

The discussion also touched on the possibility of UFOs being our descendants from the future, military sensory systems detecting UFOs more frequently due to advanced technology, and Grusch’s perspective shaped by being on the Autism spectrum.

Additionally, Grusch’s background as a veteran and his involvement in drafting the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023, which includes provisions for reporting UFOs, were noted as relevant to his insights.

Moreover, any discovered UFO technology will be revealed to the public through a “Controlled Disclosure Campaign” plan, according to the US Defence Authorisation Act 2024, which is set to go before President Biden towards the end of the year.
