IN SPACE, THE DEAD SCREAM — NOW, SCIENTISTS ARE FINALLY LISTENING

IN SPACE, THE DEAD SCREAM — NOW, SCIENTISTS ARE FINALLY LISTENING
Most fast radio bursts are one-off events that never seem to repeat, but a recent study suggests astronomers just need to be patient.
In space, the dead sometimes speak — and sometimes they scream.
Massive stars end their short, blazing lives in tremendous stellar explosions called supernovae, and they sometimes leave behind dense, highly magnetized balls of neutrons called magnetars. And for reasons that astronomers don’t yet fully understand, sometimes a magnetar lets out a short but powerful shriek. Astronomers call these Fast Radio Bursts, or FRBs: very intense blasts of radio waves that last just a few milliseconds.
Astronomers have observed thousands of these strange radio signals over the last few years, and most of them seem to be one-off events: a brief burst of radio waves from a dead star, and the rest is silence. Only a small, fascinating handful of FRBs actually repeat, or so it seems. In a recent study, a team of astronomers led by McGill University astronomer Bridget Andersen suggest that many more FRBs — maybe even all of them — may repeat, if only we would listen long enough.
CHIME’s oddly-shaped antennas can scan the whole northern sky once a day.
MCGILL UNIVERSITY
HIDDEN IN THE DATA
Andersen and her colleagues recently combed through years of data from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment, or CHIME, a radio telescope in British Columbia that scans the entire northern sky every day. They were searching for repeating FRBs that might have gotten buried in the data because their signals arrived so far apart that they escaped astronomers’ attention. To find them, Andersen and her colleagues looked for signals from the same part of the sky, even if they were far apart in time, using new statistical methods to help work out whether they were seeing a repeating FRB or just two unrelated FRBs that happened to come from the same direction.
“We can now accurately calculate the probability that two or more bursts coming from similar locations are not just a coincidence,” says co-author Ziggy Pleunis, an astronomer at the University of Toronto.
The astronomers identified 25 repeating FRBs in the CHIME data. That means that astronomers have now heard at least 50 FRBs repeat their chilling cries — that’s out of the thousands that have been recorded so far. But Andersen and her colleagues say we may just need to listen longer.

Astronomers have detected thousands of FRBs in recent years, but that doesn’t add up to knowing much about them. So far, fewer than sixty FRBs have been traced back to their host galaxies, and thirty of those were only announced earlier this year. (Nearly all FRBs come from galaxies far, far away; astronomers have only ever detected one inside our own Milky Way.) And while it’s generally agreed that FRBs come from magnetars, the exact mechanics behind them remain a puzzle waiting to be solved. Some FRBs may come from different sources, too, according to the team that traced thirty of them to their host galaxies back in January.
And whether or not those signals repeat could offer a clue. So far, the small number of FRBs that repeat seem to have a different length and cover a different range of radio frequencies than the one-off FRBs. That leads some astronomers to suggest that repeaters and one-offs might actually be two different types of FRBs, with two different explanations.
Andersen and her colleagues now have a different idea.
“Many apparently one-off bursts have simply not yet been observed long enough for a second burst from the source to be detected,” says Pleunis.
Some of the repeating FRBs they found buried in CHIME data held their silence for a long time between repeats, crying out less than once in every week of observing time. That means that unless astronomers are willing to keep listening to the same patch of sky for days or weeks at a time — a risky gamble in a field where telescope time is in high demand — a repeating burst might end up looking like a one-off. It’s even possible that all FRBs may repeat… eventually.
Differences in radio frequency and the length of the signal may still point to more than one origin for these weird cosmic signals, though. When it comes to FRBs, questions still abound, and astronomers can only answer them with more data.
On July 28, 2011, former astronaut and scientist Brian O’Leary passed away shortly after making a big statement. When the United States space agency NASA selected its sixth group of astronauts in August 1967, he was selected to be a member of that group. O’Leary had been a member of Princeton University’s physics faculty for many years. According to him, there is substantial evidence indicating that Earth is being visited by extraterrestrial beings. He claimed that advanced civilizations arrived on earth a very long time ago and that these civilizations employ technology that are founded on consciousness.
“There is much evidence that we have been contacted by aliens, and that these civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time, their appearance may be bizarre from any traditional Western materialistic point of view. These visitors use consciousness-influencing technologies – the toroid and use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, which appear to be the common denominator of the UFO phenomenon,”— Dr. Brian O’Leary on Thrive Movement
Dr. Brian O’Leary was born on January 27, 1940. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and died of a heart attack. In August 1967, he was one of the astronauts chosen by NASA to participate in the sixth group of astronauts. The people that made up this team were commonly referred to as the scientist-astronauts. Dr. O’Leary attended Williams College and earned a bachelor of arts degree in physics in 1961. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley and earned a doctor of philosophy degree in astronomy in 1967.

He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and secretary of the Planetology Section of the American Geophysical Union. In addition, he led the Asteroidal Resources Group for the NASA Ames Summer Study on Space Settlements. He was a founding board member of the International Association for New Science and the New Energy Movement’s first president. He was a fellow at the World Innovation Foundation and a Princeton University physics professor.
After O’Leary quit NASA, Carl Sagan invited him to lecture at Cornell University in 1968. He stayed there as an astronomy research associate from 1968 to 1969 and as an assistant professor from 1969 to 1971. He looked into lunar mascons while he was at Cornell. During the 1970–1971 academic year, O’Leary worked as a visiting researcher at the California Institute of Technology. He was the deputy team leader of the Mariner 10 Venus-Mercury TV Science Team. NASA recognized the team’s efforts by presenting them with a group accomplishment award.
During a live interview with Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot, he shared some fascinating insights regarding Carl Sagan. O’Leary and Sagan had been friends for a number of years, but when O’Leary decided to leave Cornell, they had a falling out. (Source)
Following his departure, O’Leary began to explore some of Carl’s work. He claimed that the iconic “Face” at Cydonia on Mars, which was photographed by Viking in 1975 and resembled a human face, was altered by Sagan before being released to the public: “It was very, very disappointing to me, because not only was Carl wrong, he also fudged data. He published a picture of the ‘Face’ in Parade Magazine, a popular article, saying that the ‘Face’ was just a natural formation, but he doctored the picture to make it not look like a face.”
In May 1990, O’Leary released a paper titled “Analysis of Images of the Face on Mars and Possible Intelligent Origin,” which only further demonstrated his skepticism. It was published in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Vol.43 No.5. O’Leary also went on the record and stated:
“I began to realize, just directly from the scientific point of view, not only hearsay, that this man was colluding with NASA, that there might be more to this than before… Carl was on a committee with a number of notable people. There was a report issued by the Brookings Institution in 1961 — and that’s about when I knew Carl, during those years; the ’60s mostly was when I worked closely with him — that he and this other group said: Well, if any ETs ever showed up on the Earth, it has to be covered up. That’s the only way we’re going to be able to manage this, because if we can’t, then it would be too much of a culture shock.”
On the 18th of September, 1994, Dr. O’Leary said during the International Forum on New Science in Fort Collins in Colorado: “A secret group within the U.S. government keeps the masses for nearly 50 years away at about UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. We have contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. This information is probably obscured by an elite group within the CIA, NSA and DIA. This small group knows well the secrets to keep. Watergate and the Iran-Contra affair are child compared to this cosmic Watergate about UFOs, aliens, mind control, genetic engineering, free energy and antigravity.”
O’Leary suggested not only the existence of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth, but also the existence of a face on Mars. He also penned the introduction to Steven Greer’s book Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge. The book is about repressed alien technologies such as free energy, anti-gravity, and extraterrestrial presence on Earth.
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking. – Theodor C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)
“Aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government. Decades ago, visitors from other plants warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after…Because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister (source)
My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving, and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.” – Richard Wagamese, Ojibway Author (source)
Documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has stunned UFO enthusiasts with his piece of evidence on the phenomenon and information he received while studying UFOs. He is the one who shared the video footage showing the UFO as a transmedium vehicle. Additionally, he says that UFOs and aliens are just a small part of a larger reality along with other interesting and eye-opening statements in an extensive interview with Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal.
Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell is an American contemporary artist and investigative filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. He did extensive research on nanotechnology, aerospace exploration, and exotic propulsion systems, as well as an in-depth examination into the life and discoveries of the enigmatic “Godfather of Conspiracy” John Lear.
Corbell has documented the surgical removal of alleged off-world alien implants, and has filmed NASA’s analysis of anomalous materials alleged to be physical evidence of extraterrestrial nano-technology from UFO landing sites. He has obtained deathbed confessions from former CIA and government intelligence officials who claim to expose the truth about UFOs and the worldwide coverup of the ultimate truth.
Jeremy Corbell with former Pentagon UFO official Luis Elizondo.
Corbell released the film “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers” on Netflix, adding credibility to Lazar’s case. Moreover, his 2-hour interview with Curt Jaimungal discussed dozens of topics that added great information to the UAP/UFO phenomena. In 2021, he leaked a film of the US Navy photographed & filmed “spherical” shaped UFOs & advanced transmedium vehicles. In the footage shared by filmmaker and UFO enthusiast Jeremy Corbell, a flying object can be seen disappearing into the water off California.
In this interview, he covers a variety of controversial subjects including the release of the Tic-Tac videos by the government, possible government disinformation campaigns, and the claims of Bob Lazar that he once worked on backward engineering an alien craft.
UFOs and Aliens Just Small Part of ‘Larger Reality’
Corbell asserted in the interview that aliens and UFOs are a small part of a much larger reality of this mysterious and mind-boggling phenomenon.
He said:
“UFOs appear to be part of a larger phenomenon meaning UFOs are kind of an auxiliary implication of a much larger reality. So this idea that what we’re seeing are machines from other planets. I’m unconvinced what we may be seeing is an alternate reality. You know maybe it is something closer to dimensional travel.
There seems to be another version of reality that is occurring and that somehow once they pop through into our reality. And this is not just from a cursory look at the ufo phenomenon, this is from talking with thousands of close encounter eyewitnesses who tell me that this is something bigger than just flying machines.
To give you an example at Skinwalker Ranch. The report is that a piece of the sky opened up like a tear and out of this came “Beings” came “Craft.” So, UFOs is a symptom, it’s part of this alternate reality, The phenomenon as I call it. But it’s not just about UFOs represent this phenomenon.
I know this to be true that Skinwalker ranch is the best example of this because you have UFO phenomena. But you also have cattle mutilation which is often associated with lights in the sky. So, cattle mutilation is something a concrete example.
Cattle mutilation, Is this a UFO phenomenon or a government experiment, or is this a private corporation that’s going around mutilating these cows and draining their blood in the dead of the night? Nobody has ever been caught during these cattle mutilations.
They are the same across the board. They’re drained of blood. The farmers and people that are cattle ranchers see UFOs oftentimes during these mutilations so I can’t separate them.”
American billionaire Robert Bigelow shared his personal experiences and losses that prompted his interest in life after death, as well as UFOs. He talked about possible links between consciousness research and UFOs. He also talked about the risks of trying to establish communications with the unknown.
“That’s been mainly what I’ve been doing except for the skinwalker ranch thing for 20 years as the space world has been huge in my life to pursue the legitimate parochial kind of you know using fire engines rockets to get you there. We didn’t expect anything like this to happen and so there this is different. This is the holy grail and is different than the second holy grail. If the second one is ‘Beings’ (E.T.), then the first one: Is there any part of your consciousness that survives your bodily death? That’s a big deal. That’s a huge story. That’s gigantic.”
Dr. Travis Taylor’s Statement On Skinwalker Ranch
Dr. Taylor joined businessman Brandon Fugals’s team at Fugals’s infamous Skinwalker ranch three years ago and firmly believed he would be able to resolve the ranch’s assorted mysteries in short order. But the longer he stayed, the stranger things became. In his interview with investigative journalist George Knapp, he said: “You know, I had never seen a UFO until I got out there. Now, I have seen more UFOs now than you can count.” (Source)
In the surprisingly candid and wide-ranging interview, Dr. Taylor shared his opinions about the role of science in the pursuit of the unknown, his personal experiences with strange phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch, the physical effects of close encounter cases, and the mysterious “hitchhiker effect” that multiple UFO/paranormal eyewitnesses have reported.
In his opinion, this unexplained phenomenon can be different for people in regards to their brain activity. Hypothetically speaking, he said that the phenomenon can be connected with different planes in the universe. He added that he could go along with the idea of a portal but was not sure. He believes it is bizarre but there is some truth to it.
What’s Next for NASA’s UFO Research? Outside Observers Weigh In
BOULDER, Colo. — NASA says it’s going to play a bigger role in studying what’s behind unidentified anomalous phenomena, the newfangled name for what we used to call UFOs. But exactly how should NASA step into that role? The astrophysicist who helped get the ball rolling last year as NASA’s associate administrator for science is suggesting a quick and easy way to get started.
“You basically say, ‘Here’s opportunities,’ and you squeeze them in,” Zurbuchen said Oct. 7 in Boulder at the ScienceWriters 2023 conference. “Generally speaking, I think it’s a lot easier to do that.”
The alternative could be to create a separate UAP program, but that might get more complicated.
There’s precedent for taking the quick and easy way. Zurbuchen noted that NASA’s science directorate took a similar approach in 2017 when it made the search for technosignatures — including scans for radio signals from alien civilizations — part of its research and analysis program.
“We added it in part because of an authorizing bill that told us that looking for life elsewhere was one of the purposes of NASA,” he explained. “The way we did it is, we just added it to calls [for research proposals] that were already there.”
Raising the profile for UAP research was one of the key recommendations in a 36-page report that was delivered to NASA by an independent panel in June, at the end of a months-long process initiated under Zurbuchen’s watch.
Participants in a panel about unidentified anomalous phenomena included, from left, moderator Dan Vergano, a senior opinion editor at Scientific American; Iain Boyd, an aerospace engineering professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder; Nadia Drake, a science journalist who was a member of NASA’s independent panel on UAP research; and former NASA official Thomas Zurbuchen.

The roots of the report
Zurbuchen said the spark for convening the independent panel came from a convergence of multiple factors — ranging from the Department of Defense’s campaign to destigmatize UFO reporting by fighter jet pilots, to the personal interest of politicians and policymakers including NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
Zurbuchen said he decided to go ahead with the independent study for three reasons. “The first reason is that I really believe — after I looked into it and did a lot of briefings, some of them classified — that what’s flying in the airspace needed to be better understood,” he said. “We don’t actually understand at the level that we should.”
Zurbuchen also saw UAP research as an opportunity to add artificial intelligence to NASA’s analytical toolkit for more down-to-earth purposes. “Doing an AI strategy for Earth science and space science data was a good thing to do,” he said. “And using that as an excuse was fine with me.”
The third reason had to do with Zurbuchen’s deeply held belief that NASA shouldn’t shy away from doing high-risk, potentially high-impact research. “Just because you feel embarrassed asking the question, you should still do it,” he said. “Reputation should not be the major reason you don’t do something.”
The members of the panel faced a wave of criticism — from those who felt NASA was taking the UFO phenomenon too seriously, as well as from those who felt the panelists should have delved more deeply into UFO lore. The online harassment and threats got so bad that NASA security had to be put on the case, said Nadia Drake, a science journalist who was one of the panelists.
“I was unprepared for how nasty it was,” Drake said. “I certainly was not the only panel member who was getting a lot of harassment and hate from online, but with me, it was a little bit different in tenor because I am a woman.”

Flying saucers vs. firm science
Although unidentified anomalous phenomena have been the subject of government-backed studies since Project Sign in the 1940s, and Project Blue Book in the ’50s and ’60s, Drake said UAP research has consistently fallen short of scientific standards. “The science that we need is just not there,” she said.
“We decided that if NASA wanted to go ahead and pursue this question, the first thing that needed to happen was that we needed to actually approach it scientifically — because as I said, there just was not enough useful data there,” Drake said. “We need to figure out how to actually collect data that’s informative, that can be analyzed, that can be interpreted in ways that actually answer the questions that we wanted to answer.”
In their final report, the panelists laid out a set of recommendations that included making use of assets such as Earth-observing satellites and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, harnessing the power of crowdsourcing and citizen science to collect data about UAPs, and using AI to look for significant patterns in those UAP reports.
NASA responded to the report by appointing a director of UAP research and endorsing the idea of employing new tools to collect and analyze data. The research director is Mark McInerney, who previously served as NASA’s liaison to the Pentagon on the UAP issue and specializes in Earth science data analysis.
What will it take to bring solid science to flying-saucer sagas? Mick West, a retired software engineer who specializes in analyzing UAP reports, said it won’t be an easy task.
“The problem with writing about the science of UFOs is that there’s very little science to write about,” West said. “UFOs have always been a bit of a fringe topic for a variety of reasons, but it shouldn’t be that way, because UFOs represent some very real issues for flight safety, national security and scientific inquiry.”
To show how difficult it can be to dissect the data, West recounted a recent case involving a video that showed an array of lights moving around in the night sky.
“We recognized this as looking like Starlink satellites, briefly reflecting the sun near the horizon,” West said. “But the video was anonymous, without an accurate date and without a location, so it remained unsolved for several months.”
He and his colleagues at Metabunk.org painstakingly sifted through geospatial databases — including one database that listed the locations of wind turbines across the country, and another that documented the occurrence of lightning storms — to figure out where and when the video was taken. The results lined up perfectly with Starlink satellite flashes.
Iain Boyd, an aerospace engineering professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder who serves as the director of the Center for National Security Initiatives, recommended setting up a well-documented catalog about UAPs, including Starlink streaks.
“If some catalog could be developed where ‘if it looks like this, it’s almost certainly that,’ I think that would be great,” Boyd said. “And build it up over time, so that we narrow down to the very, very unusual events. But to go beyond that — to be able to explain in real time every single event — I mean, it’s not doable.”
Boyd suggested that the resources required to solve all of the mysteries surrounding UAPs would be available only to a civilization more advanced than our own.
“In the end, we have to do a careful evaluation and wrap and stack and prioritize what are the key challenges, the key risks, the things that may endanger flight … because it really is a ‘needle in the haystack’ kind of problem,” he said. “I don’t think we can afford to do much more than what we’re already doing.”
Looking beyond the budgetary and technical limitations, Zurbuchen said it might be too much to expect NASA to settle the mysteries surrounding anomalous phenomena to the satisfaction of the UFO community’s true believers, even if the space agency supported a full-scale research program.
“There’s never been anybody that was convinced by any argument to move away from their initial beliefs,” Zurbuchen told an audience consisting primarily of science journalists. “I would really spend a lot of time thinking about engaging in that fringe before you do. I just think it could be a huge waste of time. I think what’s better is to focus on the principles of science, focus on actual in-depth reporting … not looking away, but focusing on what are the most important and most exciting stories, and getting them out.”
Sky Life, a group known for its in-depth exploration into lesser-known territories, recently delved into the mystifying world of UFOs. Their recent episode paints a vivid portrait of Melanie, a woman who claims to have encountered these unidentified aerial phenomena multiple times throughout her life. Here’s a detailed insight.
UFO Encounters: More Than Just A Glint in the Sky
For many, UFO sightings and abductions are tales straight out of a sci-fi movie. Yet, for others, they are very much a part of their real-life experiences. Melanie’s recounting of her experiences spans decades, from her childhood right into her 60s. What’s startling isn’t just her encounters, but also the physical marks she claims to have received during these experiences.
VIDEO:
Sleep Paralysis or Something More?
On certain occasions, Melanie would wake up with needle marks and injuries, with vivid memories of alien abduction scenarios the previous night. These memories raised questions. Could these events simply be sleep paralysis, a known phenomenon where one feels awake but can’t move, often coupled with hallucinations? Melanie denies this explanation, asserting the physical evidence on her body as a testament to her claims.
The Power of Nature and Lightning Strikes
What adds another layer to this narrative is Melanie’s connection with nature, particularly her encounters with lightning strikes. In a group discussion, it was discovered that two out of the five people present had been struck by lightning. The probability of this is almost incomprehensible. Even ChatGPT, a renowned language model, suggested the chances were near zero.
The Sacred Land Link
Another angle is the special land on which Melanie resides. Known as a hotspot for UFO sightings, this area has also been recognized as sacred by indigenous populations. Places that are deemed sacred, like Sedona, Arizona, are often associated with a higher number of UFO sightings. Perhaps, there’s a correlation between the energies of these lands and these mysterious sightings?
Listening: A Pillar of Understanding
The narrative underscores the importance of active listening and refraining from passing judgment. As Melanie emphasizes, it’s crucial to listen to others, especially when they recount experiences that may sound far-fetched. Dismissing these stories doesn’t do justice to the depth of emotion and conviction behind them.
To sum it up, while skepticism is natural, it’s equally essential to approach such tales with an open mind. Whether you believe in UFOs or not,Sky Life’sepisode on Melanie’s encounters provides a gripping look into the unknown, challenging us to reconsider what’s possible.

Now this is an odd capture. Several disks were seen flying through his yard. There is a reflection of light that may have caused the UFOs to become visible by bending the light rays enough to change them, revealing any cloaked ship visible, mush like infrared does. Ringcams often have infrared light emitting during nighttime to catch things in the darkness.
Lately Ringcam company has posted a one million dollar reward for the best alien/UFO ring cam capture, making more people use ring cams and keep an eye out for unusual anomalies. But it may also make people fake such things, so I am careful of posting Ringcam at the moment. However this does appear authentic.

Eyewitness states:
Upside down acorn like object hovering over my back yard fence. It seems to be on edge of my patio deck. It is transparent because I can see branches of tree behind it from neighbors yard. But there are things swimming inside it like fish or bugs. This was noticed on my ring camera and it wasn't there when I went to look out. It disappeared.

Hey this just in all. A person was on a passenger jet and was over New Mexico when they noticed six glowing disks outside in the distance. The objects were seen traveling above, and through the clouds and look as large as the passenger jet itself. The interesting thing is that these objects are flying very close together, as if it's trying to mimic military formation in case they do get intercepted by military they will be safer this way, and also less change of being seen in not spread over a long distance. If this was a daily event, full disclosure would have happened by now. We need more evidence like this.

Eyewitness states:
On May 4th 2023 I was aboard an American Airlines flight that departed from Charlotte, NC on route to Los Angeles, CA. Approximately at 17:25MDT I observed 6-7 disc shaped glowing objects outside my cabin window traveling West within close proximity of our aircraft. The objects at first appeared in 3 rows stacked 2 per row. The top and bottom rows slightly trailed the middle row, as the objects traveled along side our aircraft they would slowly form a stagnated straight line. Our aircraft was traveling over the state of New Mexico near Taos with an air speed of roughly 490mph and a little over 30,000 feet above sea level. These objects kept pace with our aircraft for the duration of the sighting and didn’t appear to ascend or descend at any point.
When I first noticed the objects the lights coming from them appeared a bright yellowish orange color with a flame like appearance. The light source coming from the objects seemed to pulsate at a steady interval, when the light source would dim at times I could make out a reflective silver rim on 2 of the objects. The rim came to a point on both ends of each object, they appeared to be disc shaped or cylindrical in nature.
After observing them with the naked eye, I began filming them at approximately 17:26MDT with my phone which records in 4K quality. The objects appeared to have a yellowish white glow to them when viewed through the camera on my phone as opposed to the yellowish orange color when seen with the naked eye. After recording the objects for 1 minute and 22 seconds.
Alien Abduction: Young Girl’s Unsettling Encounter with Mantis-Like Extraterrestrials
Alien Abduction: Young Girl’s Unsettling Encounter with Mantis-Like Extraterrestrials
In a tranquil farming town named Covina, nestled on the outskirts of Los Angeles in 1963, the unimaginable happened. Seventeen-year-old Linda Porter’s life took an eerie turn one night, propelling her to the center of one of the most mysterious alien abduction stories of the era.
Linda recalled waking up aboard an unfamiliar spacecraft, surrounded by blinding lights and sounds she had never encountered before. Guided by a small gray creature, she was led into a room where she met another being: an almost eight-foot-tall figure resembling a praying mantis. This wasn’t the typical “gray alien” story we’ve often heard of in pop culture.
What sets Linda’s story apart is its timeline. The incident predates the popularization of the alien abduction narrative, adding a layer of credibility to her account. Over the years, there have been numerous accounts of individuals claiming to have been abducted by gray aliens, but Linda’s tale also introduces the world to the much less common praying mantis alien figure. This has left many wondering if there’s a hierarchy amongst these extraterrestrial beings, with the praying mantis type at the helm.
Throughout her teens and twenties, Linda claimed to have several encounters with these otherworldly beings. It was only in her mid-forties that she decided to share her experiences, reaching out to investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe. Her accounts were richly detailed, supplemented by drawings that vividly depicted her experiences aboard the spacecraft and her interactions with the aliens. One standout illustration featured the tall praying mantis in a peculiar room illuminated with sparkling lights.

The mantis-like beings have sparked intense discussions among researchers. Some draw parallels between the reported aliens and insects on our planet. Could the gray aliens represent worker bees, while the praying mantis figures represent a queen bee, more intelligent and of higher rank? Such speculation, while fascinating, has yet to find a solid grounding.
The intrigue doesn’t stop here. According to Linda, these aliens have a keen interest in the human soul. They seem perplexed by its essence, curious about where it travels after death. Linda spoke of witnessing humans in a form of suspended animation, encased within cylinders, raising questions about the extraterrestrials’ role in studying the human spirit and possibly even the cycle of reincarnation.
With stories from various victims reporting encounters with praying mantis-like beings and ancient tales of mantis gods, it begs the question: Are we truly alone? Or is there an insectoid race from another realm, silently watching and studying us?

Pentagon Verifies Military Craft Sighting with Mind-Boggling Physics
Pentagon Verifies Military Craft Sighting with Mind-Boggling Physics
For decades, the sky has been a canvas of mysteries, with countless reports of unidentified flying objects or UFO sightings sparking intrigue and debate. While some are quick to link these to extraterrestrial encounters, others point towards military advancements. Yet, regardless of one’s belief, the fascination around UFO sightings remains undiminished. This article delves into some of the most talked-about sightings, drawing connections between aviation advancements and unexplained aerial phenomena.
1. The TR-3A Black Triangle Enigma:
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, numerous reports flooded in describing large, silent, low-flying triangular crafts. These UFO sightings depicted an aircraft that defied conventional aviation rules, with the ability to hover, rapidly accelerate, and make acute turns. While many speculate these sightings to be top-secret military aircraft, others believe in their extraterrestrial origin. What’s intriguing is its alleged advanced stealth technology, rendering it invisible to radars.
2. The SR-72: Son of the Blackbird:
Although not officially a UFO, the SR-72 has captured imaginations worldwide due to its hypersonic speeds, potentially exceeding Mach 5. This aircraft, currently under development, has been wrapped in secrecy, leading many to speculate on its capabilities. While it’s designed to redefine global surveillance, its hidden details have only fueled UFO sightings and speculations.
3. The Legendary RQ-180 Drone:
Officially confirmed in 2013 by the US Air Force, this stealthy high-altitude drone is believed to be designed for deep penetration and covert intelligence operations. Its capabilities to operate at heights above 65,000 ft, coupled with its advanced sensors, make it a strong contender for many UFO sightings reported worldwide.
VIDEO:
While aviation advancements continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, the line between identified and unidentified becomes increasingly blurry. As more secretive projects come into light, and as more people turn their eyes to the skies, UFO sightings will remain a captivating topic of discussion. As technology advances, the skies might hold even more mysteries, waiting to be unveiled.
Ze zijn superhelder, heel zwaar en maar relatief kort waarneembaar. We hebben het over Wolf-Rayetsterren en James Webb heeft er eentje gespot. En hoe!
De krachtige ruimtetelescoop James Webb werd eind 2021 gelanceerd en opende tegen de zomer van 2022 de ogen. En één van de eerste dingen die de telescoop toen zag, was – zo onthullen de Amerikaanse en Europese ruimtevaartorganisaties nu – een zeldzame Wolf-Rayetster. Het levert een spectaculaire en ongeëvenaard gedetailleerde opname op.
WR 124 Wolf-Rayetsterren zijn zware sterren die door toedoen van krachtige sterrenwinden veel massa verliezen. Ze leven maar kort en exploderen uiteindelijk tot supernova. Op de opname van James Webb schittert de Wolf-Rayetster WR 124. De ster bevindt zich op zo’n 15.000 lichtjaar afstand, in het sterrenbeeld Boogschutter.
WR 124 is ongeveer 30 keer zwaarder dan de zon en druk bezig om zijn buitenste lagen af te stoten. Inmiddels heeft de ster al zo’n 10 zonsmassa’s aan gas weggeslingerd. Dat weggeslingerde gas koelt – op enige afstand van de ster – af, waarna stof ontstaat.
Laatste stuiptrekkingen Je kunt het zien als de laatste stuiptrekkingen van WR 124. De ster is namelijk gedoemd om op korte termijn te exploderen. We gaan WR 124 dus verliezen. Maar we krijgen er ook weer een hoop voor terug, zo is de overtuiging van astronomen. De stervende ster creëert immers grote hoeveelheden stof, waarvan naar verwachting in ieder geval een deel de supernova-explosie zal doorstaan. En uit dat stof worden vervolgens weer nieuwe sterren – en uiteindelijk ook weer planeten – gevormd. Daarnaast vormt het stof ook een platform waarop moleculen zich kunnen vormen en bijvoorbeeld tot bouwblokken van leven kunnen samenklonteren.

Het belang van gedetailleerde opnamen Het moge duidelijk zijn: stof speelt een belangrijke rol in het universum. Daarnaast weten we dat er ook heel veel stof in de kosmos te vinden is. Veel meer eigenlijk dan astronomen kunnen verklaren. Geen wonder dat ze met bovengemiddelde interesse kijken naar stofproducenten, zoals WR 124. En dankzij James Webb kunnen ze deze stofproducent nu beter dan ooit bestuderen. Kosmisch stof kun je namelijk het beste observeren in infrarood licht en daar is James Webb voor gemaakt. De krachtige telescoop onthult structuren in het gas en stof rond WR 124 die eerder onzichtbaar bleven en stelt astronomen zo voor het eerst in staat om zich een gedetailleerd beeld van de stofproductie rond Wolf-Rayetsterren te vormen. Zo kunnen ze bijvoorbeeld nagaan of dat stof grof en talrijk genoeg is om – ook tijdens een supernova-explosie – stand te kunnen houden en bij te dragen aan het ‘stofbudget’ van de kosmos.
Daarnaast is het natuurlijk ook gewoon heel gaaf om een Wolf-Rayetster zo gedetailleerd te kunnen bekijken. Zeker als je bedenkt dat deze sterren vrij weinig worden waargenomen. In onze eigen Melkweg – gevuld met zo’n 100 miljard sterren – kennen we er slechts 500. Dat ze zo zeldzaam zijn, heeft alles te maken met het feit dat de sterren maar een kort leven beschoren zijn. Het maakt de opname van James Webb alleen maar waardevoller; de telescoop is er immers glansrijk in geslaagd een naar kosmische maatstaven vluchtig moment te vereeuwigen.
15 Incredible Ancient Buildings and Structures (Video)
The sheer scale of human construction throughout history is awe-inspiring. From buildings to bridges, roads to houses, temples to theaters, humans have been creating structures for millennia. However, the structures featured in this video are particularly remarkable. From Borobudur Temple to the Great Aqueduct, Saksaywaman, Derinkuyu underground city , Abu Simbel Temple and more, these are some of the oldest and most impressive remnants of ancient civilizations. Despite their age and the challenges of preservation, we are doing our best to protect these structures so that future generations can appreciate and learn from them.
There is a UFO/alien controversy surrounding Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, where one of three UFOs allegedly landed in May 1971. The incident has been recently discussed by “Moment of Contact” filmmaker James Fox, who says the full video of the UFO landing exists, including the alien entities walking out of the craft.
However, as it is so often in such cases, instead of the government releasing a film of the entire incident to author/filmmaker Robert Emenegger as promised, it only released 8 seconds of this special footage that ultimately made it into the film. Holloman Air Force Base is the United States Air Force base established in 1942 and located six miles southwest of the central business district of Alamogordo, New Mexico.
The story begins in 1971 when Emenegger and producer/director Allan Sandler were invited by US intelligence to Norton Air Force Base in California to discuss the significant UFO phenomenon that had occurred previously and create a documentary film about it.
Apparently, Mr. Fox recalls the Holloman incident on Julian Dorey Podcast, published on February 25, 2023. He says that he interviewed Sandler and Emenegger about it and they as well believe the UFO landing film footage exists. He points out this happened not far from Socorro, where Lonnie Zamora had his famous sighting roughly a year prior of a similarly shaped “tic tac” white craft and beings walking around the UFO.
There is no official record of the reason why the US government allowed giving secret UFO footage for a documentary film. It is believed that the administration of President Nixon did it to look strong in the science field for the upcoming 1972 re-election campaign.
Emenegger said that he was promised by the USAF officials to get the authentic UFO landing footage that happened at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in 1971. It showed the alien visitors emerging out of the craft that met with the US military. Even though Emenegger was skeptical about it, the Air Force assured him that the footage was authentic.
One of the military’s officials named Paul Shartle, who was in charge of the audio-video department, said in a 1988 national television broadcast with Mike Farrell that he had watched the 16mm film of three disc-shaped craft. One of them landed and the others flew away.
“I saw footage of three disc-shaped crafts one of the crafts landed and two of them went away. It appeared to be in trouble because it oscillated all the way down to the ground. However, it did land on three pods, a sliding door open a ramp was extended, and out came three aliens. They were human-sized. They had an odd gray complexion and a pronounced nose. They wore tight-fitting jumpsuits, thin headdresses that appeared to be communication devices, and their hands in their hands they held a translator I was told.”
Robert Emenegger (Right) and Paul Shartle (Left)
Mr. Fox revealed on the podcast that Allan Sandler told him on the phone call that he had seen three discs escorted by a military jet. “He was not sure of the altitude, but he estimated that they were at roughly 10 to 12,000 feet,” Mr. Fox said. He continued: “Paul Shartle (One of the military’s officials at Norton Air Force Base in California who was in charge of the audio-video department) admitted that he had seen it and that it was not of Earth origin.”
Sandler told Mr. Fox that two of the discs peeled away while one wobbled to the ground. He said it was like a leaf floating down from the sky, and it looked like it was in trouble. Mr. Fox said that the wobbling movement was similar to the footage he had seen of a UFO before. He does not think that Allan knew how the UFO hovered. The disc eventually went to the ground.
“He said James, just like in a sci-fi movie, the seamless door opens and out come these beings that had very large noses, slits for mouths, and their eyes were almost like a vertical slit, like a cat’s eye, very, very big. They had… I’m just like… I [Fox] need to make this abundantly clear to your audience. I’m not saying what’s true or what’s not true, or if it happened or if it’s alien or whatever it is. I’m just telling you what I was told by people who saw it, and claimed to have seen it. They came out and they met with the base commanders, and then they either got into a Jeep or were about to get into a Jeep or do something and then the film footage just cuts.”
Emenegger claimed that he personally visited the landing site and inspected the area where the extraterrestrial craft had been stored, and that the US military and the alien visitors had held meetings that lasted for several days.
Additionally, Emenegger’s production team was granted access to highly classified documents at DoD facilities, and they received assistance from military officials who had expertise in UFO-related matters, such as Col. William Coleman of Project Blue Book and Col. George Weinbrenner, who headed Foreign Technology at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
Paul Shartle, who showed the footage to Allan Sandler, faced some men in dark suits that showed up from an unknown location and warned him not to speak of the incident. They confiscated the footage, stating that it was not supposed to have happened. Sandler did not inform Emenegger for over 40 years.
Emenegger completed extensive research and film production only to feel cheated when the authorization to use real footage was withdrawn. Despite this setback, he went ahead and released his documentary “UFOs: Past, Present, and Future,” which was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1974. The documentary was groundbreaking because it provided information from the Department of Defense (DoD).
High Speed Test Track at Holloman Air Force Base
The United States Air Force (USAF) required Emenegger to add animated footage of the alleged Holloman UFO landing. According to Emenegger, some frames from the original footage were used during the editing stage with USAF authorization, which was not entirely missing from the frames. The viewers spotted a genuine bright disc coming down slowly in the distance against the backdrop of Holloman’s surrounding landscape.
David Cameron, a UFO researcher, shared in an interview that he was involved in confirming that the Pentagon was not covering up UFO sightings. He recounted the story of the Holloman Air Force Base film, where the government allowed producers to use eight seconds of footage of a landed alien ship in a documentary, but the classified part where an alien got out was removed.
Mr. Fox explains that the point of the story is that there is compelling evidence of an event occurring involving an unidentified object and that there may be film footage of the incident. Despite the existence of this evidence, the story has been overshadowed by other sensational claims, such as secret meetings between President Eisenhower and aliens.
While it is unclear what exactly happened, there is substance to the story and it should not be dismissed outright. However, the addition of other claims has muddied the waters and made it difficult to investigate the case of the president making contact with extraterrestrial life.
“The Finch” is a bright flash of light that appeared on manytelescopes on April 10, 2023. To this day, astronomers don’t know what set it off.
The avian moniker belongs to an event scientists spot roughly once a year. It’s called a Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT), and it doesn’t fit the mold of a supernova.
Supernovas create drama, but their sparks are different from LFBOTs. Supernovas take weeks or months to dim; LFBOTs take just days. Supernovas are also explainable: When stars reach the end of their life, they, in one way or another, explode. LFBOTs could be star deaths, too, but while past LFBOTs appear in stellar nurseries, the Hubble Space Telescope found that the Finch emanated from a dark chasm between galaxies.
“The discovery poses many more questions than it answers,” Ashley Chrimes, astronomer and lead author of a paper in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, says in statements from both NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) describing the Finch. “More work is needed to figure out which of the many possible explanations is the right one.”
Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT) designated AT2023fhn (nicknamed the Finch), indicated in this Hubble Space Telescope image by pointers.
The Finch, like all other LFBOTs, is ephemeral. It shines intensely in blue light and evolves quickly into its peak brightness; then, it's gone. It takes only a few days for them to fade.
They are some of the brightest visible-light explosions in space. The first was discovered only recently, in 2018, and a handful have been observed ever since. With a small sample size, astronomers have limited guesses about their source.
They had an inkling that these phenomenal events could come from places within galaxies where stars were being born based on the location of the past blasts. But the Finch has thrown a wrench into that idea.
It’s “unlike any other LFBOT seen before,” NASA and ESA officials write. The Finch appears outside of two galaxies rather than inside of one. It was 50,000 light-years from a nearby spiral galaxy. Although it was three times closer to a smaller galaxy, the Finch emerged in what appears to be a desolate place.
Even if a star had managed to emigrate out of a galaxy and then exploded, the large blast would have needed to be powered by a large star, and astronomers don’t think one could have survived the exodus.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Astronomers need to grow their LFBOT sample size to get a clearer picture of these mysterious events. All-sky survey telescopes like the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory may help detect more of these short-lived events.
For now, researchers have their theories. Perhaps the dark patch of sky is filled with a community of stars that our telescopes can’t see, but where the fuel for such a blast was dwelling and where a black hole was prowling and, in April 2023, finally pounced.
Quite naturally, the October 11, 1973, alien abduction case featuring Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson in Pascagoula, Mississippi, took the headlines in the media at home and abroad. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that UFO sightings continued, not just in Mississippi, but across the USA. However, UFO sightings were still coming in from Mississippi, and another peculiar sighting came just ten days after the Hickson/Parker encounter.
There was a discussion on social media about the Pascagoula case when a gentleman by the name of Kevin Garrett joined the discussion with the following account.
Kevin Garrett
The following is my retyped copy of a letter from my grandfather to my aunt, describing events in Monticello, MS (about two hours north of the Mississippi Gulf Coast), just a few days following the incident in Pascagoula. I remember it happening, but honestly do not remember any details, except the globs themselves.
Sunday, 6:10 P.M., October 21st, 1973:
Dear Yvonne & Family:
We received your letter this morning and read it before going to Church. A.D. will write you telling that we are glad that you have bought a new vehicle. Also, to tell you of other happenings around here that may interest you.
The purpose of this letter from me is to tell you of our experience last Thursday afternoon. I was in the yard painting a record cabinet I have made for A.D. and A.D. was in the house resting. Martha came over to tell us what she had just heard over the radio. She heard the announcer state that spider-web-like material was falling from the sky in North Mississippi and that globs had fallen in a woman’s yard, and that her dog was lapping it. Martha was anxious for us to hear the next newscast, so at 4:00 P.M., she brought her small radio over, and we sat in the yard to listen to the news.
Sure enough, the first thing mentioned was that the spidery-webbed substance was then falling over Jackson. After listening for the 15-minute newscast to the end, I said, well, if spider webs had gotten to Jackson from North Miss., in that short period of time, we should be able to see some down this far. It was then about 4:25 P.M. and I was anxious to finish my painting, which I did. When Martha went home, she was looking up into the sky and, inasmuch as her TV antenna was almost in front of her, she noticed a silky like thread or web-like stringy something hanging from it. She called us, and we all went over to look.
There was another long strand hanging over a tree nearby, and while we were looking at this, someone said, “Look!, what’s that coming over.” From the North or slightly NE, we saw globs of whitish-silvery looking, odd, shaped UFOs coming over. At first sighting one, you would think it was a white bird, then it would reflect its true shape as it passed over. Not knowing the height from the ground, we cannot guess how large any of them were. They were not all the same size or shape. One appeared to be about the size of two 500-gallon butane tanks welded together lengthwise. Both ends were dome-shaped, and our guess was that it would have to be at least six to eight feet in diameter. It had no wings and it made no noise. It did not tumble over and over but kept a straight line, lengthwise. Ahead of it was a smaller blob like the others we saw. The smaller ball or glob was leading the bigger, cigar-like shaped thing, and we could see stringy-like silvery ribbon strands connecting the smaller to the large thing trailing. All were traveling at a tremendous speed, and we couldn’t figure out how they traveled so fast, especially since the wind was from the NW and they were coming from the NE. It could be that they were in a jet stream, but how did it get that height and what was propelling them unless they were in the jet stream? All were traveling very fast, and unless you spotted one in time, it was almost impossible for one who saw it to point it out to you. I would say that from the time one was spotted until you could see it no more toward the SW, would be about 30 seconds.
The birds and butterflies were disturbed. Some butterflies looked to be as big as a bat, and they were reddish-rust in color. They were not as high as those objects we saw but were traveling in the same direction. I have never seen butterflies, if they were; fly as high as these were flying. Blackbirds were flying over from the NW, going toward the river, and they acted funny. Two out of three out of a flock of ten to twenty would turn around, fly in the opposite direction, then turn and try to catch up. I believe that perhaps they had run into some of that spider-web-like stuff.
Well, I see that I had my carbon backward, so I can’t write on the reverse of the first page. Martha would not let Rusty touch the web-like material as she wanted Tom to see it when he came home. He did. Also, after getting his glasses, he finally begins to see those white objects coming over. He said he had never seen anything like it. About that time, we spotted two globs coming over. They were bigger than all the others except that cigar-shaped thing and they were going at a faster rate of speed than the others and seemed to be lower. One glob would get ahead of the other, then they would change and the other overtake the first one. They seemed to have a cord or something connecting them together and they were oddly shaped and would change shape as they traveled. These were also going toward the SW, and it appeared that the wind was tossing them about. Again, the wind was from the NW as a thin layer of cloud cover came over from that direction. So, the way I figure it, the wind we ordinarily know as wind, was coming from the NW and these things were traveling toward the SW. This, then, would not indicate that they were traveling against or opposite to the wind, but more or less across or more like an X, not exactly + to the other.
They have said very little about this except to state that they were taking samples to Hattiesburg for analysis. I heard one follow-up say that it turned out to be spider webs. We have not heard the report from Hattiesburg.
The only other report of sightings of this matter around here was by a class of children at Silver Creek who happened to be outside.
I have been a little reluctant to relate what I and we saw to others as I imagine it would be hard to believe. I have related this to you exactly as WE saw it, and you can draw your own conclusion as to what it was. Sometimes, when we are together, AD & I will tell you about the other object we saw about two weeks ago. This was prior to the incident at Pascagoula and AD and I got home in time for Martha and the children to see it. By the way, these blobs we saw, about 18 to 20 of them, lasted for about an hour. I had hoped they would keep over until sundown, but we did not see any more. Hope you appreciate this explanation and please excuse the errors. No, I am not excited, just rusty with my typing.
Love,
George Bowskey Russell was Kevin Garrett’s grandfather, the author of the letter, and A.D. (Alonzo Dulaney) was his grandmother A.D, Russell.
I, of course, am Kevin; Rusty is my brother; Tom was my father; Martha was my mother; Yvonne was my mother’s sister who lived near Fort Worth, TX, and to whom the letter was addressed. George Bowskey and Alonzo Dulaney were my maternal grandparents and we lived next door to them. The copy is from page two of a Xerox (when was last time you heard that term?) of the letter written by my grandfather to my aunt.
Kevin added on June 12th, 2023, via email: “The only thing I remember was seeing the globs getting caught in the limbs of the large pecan tree in the area between our houses. To me, they seemed a bit stringy. One would certainly assume some made it to the ground, but I don’t remember that. While I definitely remember the incident, I don’t remember many details. For example, I don’t remember the large silver things in the sky.”
Page two of the original letter
Kevin Garrett informed us that he had recently moved house so it was difficult to locate the actual type-written letter in question. He did, however, have one page that he had previously digitized. The above account and the copy of the letter are reproduced with the permission of Kevin Garrett. Mr Garrett also supplied us with a photo of his grandparents.

This is yet another peculiar UFO sighting coming from Mississippi in what was a flap of sightings in 1973. The Parker/Hickson abduction account was the most outstanding of cases reported during this flap. It makes you wonder how many more sightings were made but never reported.

The Astonishing UFO Sightings of Las Vegas: A Detailed Account
The Astonishing UFO Sightings of Las Vegas: A Detailed Account
The world remains captivated by unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, with countless individuals sharing their own stories and footage of bizarre occurrences in the sky. One of the most intriguing instances recently occurred over Las Vegas, where a local resident captured a mesmerizing display of these unexplained phenomena.
Las Vegas: A New Hub for UFO Sightings?
On October 5th, 2023, between 7 and 8 pm, a Las Vegas resident from Summerlin, looking up at the skies from his backyard, witnessed a display that has left the UFO community abuzz. The footage showcased an awe-inspiring arrangement of UFOs moving in perfect unison. Their unique ability to space themselves uniformly in the sky and their seamless formation hinted at advanced technology beyond our comprehension.
The video is reminiscent of earlier footage from 2021, which displayed similar impressive formations. The videographer noted that the appearance and behavior of these UFOs have evolved over the years. Notably, since 2017, it seems these unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) have become conscious of being observed and documented, leading to a shift in their patterns.
More Than Just A Passing Plane
To the untrained eye, the night sky over Las Vegas is often filled with the regular comings and goings of commercial airplanes. However, this witness emphasizes a clear distinction between regular jets preparing to land and the UFOs. While jets approach at a steep angle, these unidentified objects maintain a flat trajectory, occasionally side by side, and seem to operate at varying altitudes.
Interestingly, the observer hypothesizes a location on the base’s backside where these UFOs might be captured. Here, they float in and are potentially seized by an unknown technology, placing them underground.
A Message in the Movements
One standout feature in the recent video is the behavior of three particular UFOs. They initially move in a straight line to the east before breaking formation and smoothly floating toward the observer. Such deliberate movement cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence. Could this be a greeting or a form of communication? The excitement and mystery around these objects are palpable as they seem to showcase maneuvers, suggesting intent and perhaps even awareness.
The Age-old Question: Are They Ours?
As our understanding of UFO sightings grows, so does the debate about their origin. Are these advanced technologies developed secretly on Earth, or do they originate from the vast expanse of the universe? While many hope for the latter, offering the thrilling possibility of intelligent extraterrestrial life, some believe these sightings are a testament to human ingenuity. If they are ours, what magnificent advancements in aerospace technology might we be on the cusp of unveiling?
VIDEO:
The UFO sightings in Las Vegas reiterate the fascination and unanswered questions surrounding these mysterious objects. As more individuals come forward with their own accounts and evidence, one can only hope that the truth behind these astonishing phenomena will be unveiled. Whether it’s an extraterrestrial signal or a human-made marvel, the skies above us continue to captivate and intrigue.
The disclosure has probably been going on for some time, but most of us have been oblivious to it. Bill Nelson, the administrator of NASA, made the most startling claims about extraterrestrial visitors. He thinks there is intelligent life beyond Earth, on worlds that might be just as sophisticated and well-organized as ours. Mr. Nelson expressed his hope that some of the unexplained UFO sightings are not evidence of an “adversary here on earth.” He suggested that it is more likely that these sightings are evidence of life existing on other planets.
NASA conspirators/whistleblowers have a full assurance that the US space agency has been covering the evidence of UFOs since the first Apollo mission. Donna Hare claimed to have worked for NASA contractor Philco Ford in the early 1970s. She had a high-security clearance to walk into NASA’s photo lab and other departments.
During the Disclosure Project press conference, Hare revealed that NASA covered up and eliminated space anomalies such as UFOs from satellite photos. Hare has got several awards in space programs. She dedicated most of her time as a technical illustrator to space programs. She created lunar maps, and landing slides and had been working for 15 years as a sub-contractor for NASA.
Former NASA scientist Robin Brett, who was among the first people to study and direct research on moon rocks said: “It seems easier to explain the non-existence of the Moon than its existence.” Besides, according to scientists, the Moon is older than the Earth by nearly 800,000 years, which raises a lot of questions.
Former US Air Force Sergeant Karl Wolfe, who died in a bike accident in 2018, was another person who shared a story similar to Donna Hare. He also had top-secret clearance and worked at Langley Air Force base in Virginia, the USA. He worked as a precision electronics photograph repairer for NASA’s Lunar Orbiter Project. One day, he was taken into a lab by another worker who showed him a photo of artificial buildings at the lunar base. These photos had been taken prior to the Apollo landing in 1969.

“…At any rate, I was in a color lab one day when my boss, Staff Sergeant Taylor, came over to me and said that they were having a problem with some equipment on the base and it was the first lunar orbiter program, where they had a mission to pretty much locate the first landing sites for the 1969 lunar mission for the astronauts.
So he said they were having some problems with equipment over there. it was similar equipment to what we had- it was computerized contact printing equipment. He wanted to know if I would go over and take a look at it. He said to me, It’s an NSA facility. At the time, I didn’t know what the NSA was – I was pretty naive.
I thought he said NASA. So in my mind, for a long time, I thought it was a NASA facility that I had gone to, but I remembered him saying NSA and converting it in my own mind to NASA…”
Wolfe claimed that one day, when NSA photographic equipment failed, he was asked to assist them with the important repair work that was needed to keep the machines on the job. He was the only person who was readily available at the time and was trained in the type of equipment that had failed. This was really a coincidence. In the regular course of events, he would be breaking protocol by entering NSA territory.
The level of his security clearance was enhanced, and as a result, he was allowed to even enter the extremely secure laboratory. Wolfe’s heart was pounding when he entered the here-to-fore forbidden hangar on that particular day, and he was astounded to witness the frenzied activity in the laboratory, which was being carried out by individuals from different countries.
Wolfe had expected that only people with the American citizenship would be in the NASA lab, but he was surprised to see a large number of people with guest name tags and obviously from other countries present on this particular day. This led him to believe that those people had traveled from their home countries for some event that required their temporary presence.
Concerning the outcome of his mission, he experienced feelings of dread. Whatever it was that required his presence, it was of the utmost significance. Someone had informed him that the relevant equipment was located in a nearby dark room.
When he was first carried into the chamber, the only thing that greeted him was the red glow of a safety light. However, after a time, he was able to make out the form of one airman who manned the area even though it was dark.
Wolfe was aware that in order to fix the image processing equipment, it would first need to be removed, and he was also aware that the diagnostics on this kind of equipment would take some time to complete.
Quickly, arrangements were made for the camera equipment to be moved to a safer place so Wolfe could start the long process of figuring out what was wrong. While Wolfe was waiting for his ride, he started talking to the other airman. Wolfe asked very carefully why NASA work was being done at Langley instead of at NASA’s headquarters in Houston.
After that, he was informed that all of the NASA picture data was transferred to Langley, where it was upgraded and transformed into finished photographs, which were then analyzed by various parts of the armed forces. Wolfe was given some insight by the attendant of the dark chamber as to the nature of the enigma surrounding the situation.
Wolfe was told that new, better pictures had shown structures on the surface of the Moon’s dark side that were both surprising and clear. Structures that could not have been made by natural means like meteors or ancient collisions between other celestial bodies. The structures were created by intelligent beings. “We discovered,” the airman said, “a base of the back side of the Moon.”
Wolfe was obviously stunned by this extraordinary disclosure. He remembers literally “shaking” trying to take in the enormity of what he had been told. Seeing Wolfe’s disbelief, the dark room attendant continued: “Yes, a base on the dark side of the Moon.”
Although the attendant had not explicitly stated that the structures were not created by inhabitants of Earth, it appeared obvious. Wolfe was still in awe as he looked down at the photos he was attempting to visualize in his mind. As he stooped beneath the red-glowing lamp, he saw something that so few would ever see. He was able to discern geometric shapes that were well-organized and planned. Most noticeable to him were what looked exactly like radar antennas, very similar to what one could see on Earth.
There was no longer any question in Wolfe’s mind as to the reason behind the peculiar assortment of investigators and scientists that were present at this location on this particular day. They had traveled to the moon in order to view and investigate the structures that he was currently staring at, which were built on the moon by intelligent beings.
He might be detained or worse. He only wanted to complete his task, get out of there, and leave things alone. Wolfe carried on the task at hand, putting the memories of that day to the back of his mind, and continued living his life. Wolfe, however, was haunted by the images he saw that day for many years to come.
After he left the active service, his security clearance prohibited him from leaving the United States for five years, and he was sworn to keep what he had seen to himself. Before he finally informed anyone about that remarkable day, it would be thirty years. The 74-year-old Sgt. Wolfe was killed after being hit by a trailer while cycling in Lansing, New York. Wolfe was rushed to Cayuga Medical Center where he later died from the injuries sustained in the crash.
Wolfe was not the only whistleblower whose death seems mysterious. Former U.S. Army Command Sgt. MajorRobert Orel Deanclaimed that when he worked for NATO in France, he read a document titled “The Assessment” in the 1960s. According to him, the document contained information about “photos of dead aliens, crashed UFOs and reports by military pilots and scientists.” Coincidently, he died a week before Wolfe’s death in 2018.
The sixth episode of the podcast”Weaponized,” starring filmmaker Jeremy Corebll and investigative journalist George Knapp, has ignited a long debate on Area 51 holding secrets of UFOs and non-human beings. Mr. Knapp explained a lot of the corroborating evidence regarding people that confirm Bob Lazar’s claims, as well as the S4 base he worked at Nevada desert and the company that vetted him, EG&G.
Lazar’s identity as an Area 51 scientist has always been discussed by other people in the UFOlogy. Lately, Dr. Travis Scott has also been seen discrediting Bob Lazar and said he did work at Area 51 but as a janitor. Many users find it a direct attack on Lazar’s credentials as he failed to show his qualifications. However, there are credible experts that have confirmed Lazar’s work at Area 51.
Mr. Knapp revealed to Corbell that while working on the follow-up series “UFOs: The Best Evidence” in 1990, he came to know about a man named Alfred O’Donnell, who was the general manager at EG&G in Nevada that managed Area 51. According to Knapp, O’Donnell claimed that “they did have a flying saucer that had been recovered from New Mexico,” and a “live being.”
EG&G was created by three scientists, Harold Edgerton, Kenneth Germeshausen, and Herbert Grier. The company specialized in the measurement of energy created by nuclear weapon explosions. EG&G was involved in the development of a complex little gadget that could arm an atomic bomb, start an automated countdown, set it off, and collect data on how it behaved. The company played a role in the migration of well-educated professionals to Las Vegas in the early 1950s, including Alfred O’Donnell, a technician who worked for the company.
Alfred O’Donnell
O’Donnell was the prominent figure in Area 51, who had all clearance to walk anywhere in the facility. Moreover, his background is good enough to add credibility to Bob Lazar’s claims. Mr. Knapp shared his story of meeting O’Donnell who told him about the recovered craft that was stored at the Indian Springs (Creech US Air Force Base), but later it was transferred to the newly built Area 51 in 1955.
“They moved it to an adjacent facility he didn’t say it was S4 he didn’t say it was Papoose but I think that’s what he’s talking about Papoose lake is where Bob Lazar said he worked and where they had built hangers underground disguised it to look like the desert and where they had other recovered craft,” Mr. Knapp said.
O’Donnell told Knapp all the secret information about UFOs at a coffee shop. He said that they were trying to reverse-engineer the recovered crafts and duplicate the technology to build more crafts like that. Further, O’Donnell revealed that they were worried that “IT” could get out. He said they were holding it in a cage as they did not understand it.
“We didn’t know what it was… To tell you the truth, we couldn’t communicate with it. In the beginning, we didn’t know what it was, we didn’t know where it was from. And we didn’t know what to do with it…”
“Eventually, they figured out a way to communicate with it and so I asked him well what did it look like… he said well kind of looks like a certain political candidate… at the time Ross Perot was running for president, he said it looks like Ross Perot, a little skinny guy with big ears and a tiny head, not a classic gray looking alien but a very odd looking creature.”
Mr. Knapp further shared a story about a former female employee of defense contractor Holmes & Narver, who allegedly had knowledge about “crashed saucers, recovered materials, and what sounded like a Roswell-type incident.” The woman had been intimidated by unknown agents before she was scheduled to speak with Knapp, causing her to cancel the meeting.
Knapp also mentioned that former Congressional staffer Richard D’Amato investigated claims about crashed saucers and visited Area 51, but was unable to verify the statements. Knapp later scheduled a meeting between D’Amato and EG&G employee O’Donnell, which was allowed by EG&G co-founder Herbert Grier. However, O’Donnell refused to tell D’Amato anything.
Knapp stated that O’Donnell made a deathbed confession, confirming the existence of a crashed flying saucer and a living being. However, no recording of O’Donnell’s confession has surfaced. If the recording was made public, it would lend credibility to the assertions made by Bob Lazar, who claimed to have worked on recovered saucers in Area 51.
Years after his initial conversation with Knapp, O’Donnell changed his story and shared a different version of the flying saucer incident with journalist and author Annie Jacobsen, which regarded the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) incident at Roswell in 1947.
Journalist Christoper Sharp writes that Jacobsen mentioned different version of O’Donnell’s story in the book “Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base,” according to which “Roswell incident was not the result of non-human intelligence, but in fact a Russian craft with ‘grotesque, child-size aviators’ developed in human experiments by Nazi doctor and war criminal Josef Mengele.”
But Mr. Knapp debunked this story as he discovered the Russians were just as mystified about the Roswell incident as the Americans.
Bob Lazar claimed in 1989 that the US government was conducting a project to reverse engineer alien technology from nine different UFOs collected over decades and hidden in hangars at a location called S-4 near Papoose Lake.
Jeremy Corbell shared a video of Mr. Knapp discussing a real story of a civilian, Jerry Freeman, who snuck onto the Area 51 base and saw Papoose Lake. Freeman reported seeing security lights on the perimeter and lights that opened and closed near the center of the lake, and he felt vibrations for almost two minutes, which he thought could be either from underground or from Groom Lake.
Freeman also reported seeing a door opening in space with a bluish light, and then disappearing. George Knapp confirmed that Freeman did not know who Bob Lazar and John Lear were, and that former employees who worked with Bob verified that he was a physicist, but those claims were made informally and off the record.
Medium user SignalsIntelUFO has done great work by transcribing over 50 interviews of Bob Lazar with in-depth information. Bob claimed to have been hired as a physicist at Los Alamos in May 1982. For evidence about his employment, there is an article written by Terry England on June 30, 1982. “To Lazar, a physicist at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility, the important thing is the jet engine. It’s something he’s been working on for years,” England wrote.
Terry England article on Bob Lazar
In July 2020, during Joe Rogan’s podcast with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Corbell said he asked Terry England about Bob Lazar’s occupation as a physicist at Los Alamos. Corbell said: “Look, here’s the point, you said Bob Lazar was a physicist at Los Alamos. So how did you base that? You’re writing a paper…” and he [England] goes “yeah,” — and it got picked up by AP news — he goes “if I [England] had misrepresented that he was a physicist at Los Alamos I would have been blackballed by everybody at Los Alamos. They take that very seriously. He was a physicist. I reported it. AP News picked it up, they repeated it. Not word one from anybody saying he wasn’t a physicist at Los Alamos.”

Top 4 Mysterious UFOs in the USA! | The Proof Is Out There
These strange UFOs have been spotted all over the continental United States. See more in this compilation from The Proof Is Out There.
The Parker Solar Probe is the little engine that just keeps going and going by the Sun. On September 27th, it made its 17th close approach and skimmed just 7.26 million kilometers (4.51 million miles) above the sun’s “surface” layer (called the photosphere).
That’s just the latest achievement by the probe, which also became the first-ever spacecraft to fly through a coronal mass ejection—and live to tell the story. That CME pass-through occurred on September 5, 2022, during its 13th approach to the Sun.
The spacecraft’s most recent accomplishment was set up by a gravity-assist flyby of Venus in late August. During the closest approach, the Parker Solar Probe was moving at 635,266 kilometers per hour (394,735 miles per hour). Both the close approach and the CME encounter are just two of many highlights of a mission that’s planned to continue its studies of the Sun and solar environment through mid-2025. So far, the spacecraft is in pretty good shape, considering what it’s experiencing during the mission. Parker does all this while experiencing temperatures up to 1400 C. Its main instruments are protected by shielding, which allows them to operate in a near-normal room-temperature environment.
Parker and Its Solar Accomplishments
Solar scientists sent Parker to help them understand some of the most puzzling aspects of our star’s activities. Its main target is the solar corona. They want to figure out what heats the corona by tracing the flow of energy that heats this uppermost part of the solar atmosphere. In addition, they want to understand how and why the solar wind gets accelerated as it leaves the Sun.

Since the Sun is largely plasma, they want to understand its structure and the magnetic fields that exist and influence the flow of plasma from the Sun through the solar wind. Finally, the mission is equipped to study energetic particles flowing from the Sun and determine their transport mechanism.
About that Coronal Mass Ejection
We on Earth experience coronal mass ejections as they pass from the Sun on their way through the Solar System. These powerful events hurl huge masses of plasma through space, moving at speeds of 100 to 3,000 kilometers per second. Many CMEs do not encounter our planet, but when they do, they twist and stretch our planet’s magnetic field. The results can range from beautiful displays of aurora borealis to disruption of communications and electrical grids.
Solar physicists would like to be able to forecast these awesome solar storms. They’ve long wanted to measure the forces that drive CMEs. In particular, they want to know what accelerates the charged particles in the explosions to high speeds. They hope that Parker can give them data on just what’s happening on the Sun as one builds up.

On September 5, 2022, Parker was cruising the far side of the Sun. It flew just about 6 billion kilometers above the surface. That’s when it detected the CME as it built up. Later on, the spacecraft passed through the structure of the ejection, experienced its leading edge, and then exited the material. It was a pretty extreme CME and allowed Parker to pick up data about the shock wave’s speed and density. Luckily, this one didn’t hit Earth. However, if it had, the event would have severely damaged communications systems and probably caused widespread power blackouts.
“This is the closest to the Sun we’ve ever observed a CME,” said Nour Raouafi, the Parker Solar Probe project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, which built the spacecraft within NASA’s timeline and budget, and currently manages and operates the mission. “We’ve never seen an event of this magnitude at this distance.”
Parker and The Sun
To get the scientific information to understand the corona and CMEs, scientists needed a spacecraft that could essentially fly through the Sun—or at least its corona. That’s where Parker comes into play. A heat shield, onboard radiators, and a thermal protection system protect it from CMEs and the solar wind. During the CME, the only effect it suffered was a little “torque”—a small turning action that it compensated for immediately.
For the rest of this year and into 2024, Parker will be following close orbits around the Sun. In late 2024, it will make its final Venus flyby, which will set the last three perihelion passages into 2025. In all, scientists plan for 24 perihelion passages before the mission ends. The data it is providing should open new windows of understanding about the solar wind and the processes that launch it through the Solar System.

Hundreds of Free-Floating Planets Found in the Orion Nebula
It appears that rogue planets – free floating worlds that aren’t gravitationally bound to a parent star – might be more common than we thought. New data from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed 540 (yes, that’s right) planetary-mass objects in the Orion Nebula and Trapezium Cluster.
If confirmed, this would be by far the largest sample of rogue planets ever discovered.
Astronomers Samuel Pearson and Mark McCaughrean of the European Space Agency made the observations and posted a preprint paper to arXiv. The paper has yet to be peer reviewed, but has been submitted to Nature.
The researchers say a near-infrared survey from JWST allowed them to discover and characterize this large sample of 540 planetary-mass candidates. The team says these planetary mass objects (PMOs) are too small to be stars, as their masses are well below the traditional cutoff for a deuterium-burning brown dwarf, even down to 0.6 Jupiter mass — not much more massive than Saturn.
Within the large group of rogue planets are 42 pairs of planets that are gravitationally bound together, something that’s never been observed before. The astronomers named them Jupiter Mass Binary Objects, or JuMBOs.

“How pairs of young planets can be ejected simultaneously and remain bound, albeit weakly at relatively wide separations, remains quite unclear,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
“The Jupiter Mass Binary Objects or JuMBOs are a really big discovery, we believe,” said McCaughrean, a senior adviser for science and exploration at ESA, on Mastodon. In the pre-print, researchers said that these planetary-mass binary objects is “a result that is highly unexpected and which challenges current theories of both star and planet formation.”
The conventional definition of a planet is that it is in orbit around a star. Additionally, current theories of planetary formation suggest that Jupiter-sized objects can only be formed through the process that gives rise to stars inside the clouds of dust and gas found in a nebula.
“It is clear that further simulations and modelling will be needed to understand how a substantial population of objects can form below [5 Jupter masses] and how a significant fraction of them can end up in multiple systems,” the team concluded.
The exact mechanisms for how planets go “rogue” are unknown, but several theories exist. The theories include that planets are pulled away from one star by gravitational interactions with other passing stars, or that supernovae kick them out, or that they free float into space after their sun dies.
Alternatively, for the JuMBOs, the researchers speculate that planetary ejections can be caused through planets scattering in a planetary disk or by dynamical interactions between stars.
“The latter are relatively common in dense star-forming regions like the Trapezium Cluster,” the team wrote. “The ensemble of planetary mass objects and JuMBOs that we see in the Trapezium Cluster might arise from a mix of both of these “classical” scenarios, even if both have significant caveats, or perhaps a new, quite separate formation mechanism, such as a fragmentation of a star-less disk, is required.”
Rogue planets are usually impossible to image in visible light, which makes JWST’s sensitive infrared vision the perfect tool to look for them.

The Orion Nebula has been studied for decades to observe the formation and early evolution of stars and other celestial objects. It lies 1,350 light years away from Earth and is visible to the naked eye as a misty smudge at the bottom of the Orion constellation, part of the ‘sword’ of the mythical Greek hunter after whom the constellation is named.
