Fighter pilot analyzes Border Patrol's secret UFO Footage
Fighter pilot analyzes Border Patrol's secret UFO Footage
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has recently made public infrared records related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UFO/UAP).
A comprehensive analysis of these records has been undertaken by Chris Lehto, a retired fighter pilot and a dedicated investigator of UAP. In his examination, Lehto delves into 10 UAP videos obtained from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, offering viewers valuable insights.
He dissects each video to provide essential context and explores potential explanations for the observed phenomena. His attention is particularly focused on key footage, including the intriguing "Rubber Duck" video, A-10 engagement videos, and notable incidents like La Bruja and Aguadilla.
Furthermore, Lehto sheds light on the crucial role played by paramedic and Border Patrol agent Bob Thompson in the release of these videos. Thompson's involvement underscores the collaborative effort involving individuals from various professional backgrounds in bringing these records to the public domain.
The insights provided by experts like Chris Lehto contribute to a more informed and nuanced dialogue on the subject.
In the age where technology reigns supreme and our skies are constantly monitored by satellites, the intrigue surrounding UFO sightings remains undiminished. For decades, unidentified flying objects have captured the imagination of many, fueling countless conspiracy theories. But in a fascinating turn of events, NASA – an institution centered on scientific exploration – is delving into the realm of the unknown, specifically the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
For those new to the term, UAPs are essentially UFO sightings backed by some credible pieces of evidence. The approach to these phenomena has evolved over the years, often straddling the line between skepticism and genuine curiosity.
Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, a former NASA official, voiced that the solution to these sightings isn’t necessarily to create a dedicated UAP program, but to incorporate it into NASA’s existing research strategies. This isn’t the first time NASA has assimilated such an approach. A few years back, the search for technosignatures, such as scanning for alien radio signals, was embedded into NASA’s research framework. This move came in the wake of a bill that deemed the search for extraterrestrial life as one of NASA’s key objectives.
However, embracing UAP research isn’t just about quenching mankind’s thirst for the unknown. For NASA, it is also an opportunity to incorporate artificial intelligence into its analysis toolkit. The unpredictable nature of UAPs brings with it the challenge of diving deep, adopting high-risk, and potentially high-impact research methods.
In an endeavor to truly understand and possibly decode theUAP enigma, NASA has leaned towards the use of Earth-observing satellites and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Furthermore, the space agency is harnessing the power of crowdsourcing and AI to identify patterns in UAP reports.
One intriguing aspect, revealing the global reach of the UFO phenomenon, is the so-called ‘Chinese balloon incident’. This involved unusual objects seen around U.S. Navy planes, particularly in the Pacific. The rapid advancements in drone technology, as evidenced in recent global events, have further highlighted the pressing need to understand, document, and possibly demystify UAPs.
What’s particularly enthralling is NASA’s interest in launching a phone app geared towards recording UAPs. This app aims to document sightings in a manner that produces valuable data while minimizing the chances of false reports. Such an initiative not only democratizes the process but also reduces the conspiracy haze that often shrouds UFO sightings.
In conclusion, as our quest for understanding the universe deepens, institutions like NASA are embracing the challenge, marrying cutting-edge technology with human curiosity. And who knows? The next big UFO sighting might just be decoded using an app on your smartphone!
NASA’s Bennu Asteroid Sample Contains Carbon, Water

Initial studies of the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu sample collected in space and brought to Earth by NASA show evidence of high-carbon content and water, which together could indicate the building blocks of life on Earth may be found in the rock. NASA made the news Wednesday from its Johnson Space Center in Houston where leadership and scientists showed off the asteroid material for the first time since it landed in September.
This finding was part of a preliminary assessment of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security – Regolith Explorer) science team.
“The OSIRIS-REx sample is the biggest carbon-rich asteroid sample ever delivered to Earth and will help scientists investigate the origins of life on our own planet for generations to come,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Almost everything we do at NASA seeks to answer questions about who we are and where we come from. NASA missions like OSIRIS-REx will improve our understanding of asteroids that could threaten Earth while giving us a glimpse into what lies beyond. The sample has made it back to Earth, but there is still so much science to come – science like we’ve never seen before.”
Although more work is needed to understand the nature of the carbon compounds found, the initial discovery bodes well for future analyses of the asteroid sample. The secrets held within the rocks and dust from the asteroid will be studied for decades to come, offering insights into how our solar system was formed, how the precursor materials to life may have been seeded on Earth, and what precautions need to be taken to avoid asteroid collisions with our home planet.
Bonus sample material
The goal of the OSIRIS-REx sample collection was 60 grams of asteroid material. Curation experts at NASA Johnson, working in new clean rooms built especially for the mission, have spent 10 days so far carefully disassembling the sample return hardware to obtain a glimpse at the bulk sample within. When the science canister lid was first opened, scientists discovered bonus asteroid material covering the outside of the collector head, canister lid, and base. There was so much extra material it slowed down the careful process of collecting and containing the primary sample.
“Our labs were ready for whatever Bennu had in store for us,” said Vanessa Wyche, director, NASA Johnson. “We’ve had scientists and engineers working side-by-side for years to develop specialized gloveboxes and tools to keep the asteroid material pristine and to curate the samples so researchers now and decades from now can study this precious gift from the cosmos.”
Within the first two weeks, scientists performed “quick-look” analyses of that initial material, collecting images from a scanning electron microscope, infrared measurements, X-ray diffraction, and chemical element analysis. X-ray computed tomography was also used to produce a 3D computer model of one of the particles, highlighting its diverse interior. This early glimpse provided the evidence of abundant carbon and water in the sample.
“As we peer into the ancient secrets preserved within the dust and rocks of asteroid Bennu, we are unlocking a time capsule that offers us profound insights into the origins of our solar system,” said Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx principal investigator, University of Arizona, Tucson. “The bounty of carbon-rich material and the abundant presence of water-bearing clay minerals are just the tip of the cosmic iceberg. These discoveries, made possible through years of dedicated collaboration and cutting-edge science, propel us on a journey to understand not only our celestial neighborhood but also the potential for life’s beginnings. With each revelation from Bennu, we draw closer to unraveling the mysteries of our cosmic heritage.”
For the next two years, the mission’s science team will continue characterizing the samples and conduct the analysis needed to meet the mission’s science goals. NASA will preserve at least 70% of the sample at Johnson for further research by scientists worldwide, including future generations of scientists. As part of OSIRIS-REx’s science program, a cohort of more than 200 scientists around the world will explore the regolith’s properties, including researchers from many U.S. institutions, NASA partners JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), CSA (Canadian Space Agency), and other scientists from around the world. Additional samples will also be loaned later this fall to the Smithsonian Institution, Space Center Houston, and the University of Arizona for public display.
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, provides overall mission management, systems engineering, and the safety and mission assurance for OSIRIS-REx. Lauretta, the principal investigator, leads the science team and the mission’s science observation planning and data processing. Lockheed Martin Space in Littleton, Colorado, built the spacecraft, provided flight operations, and was responsible for capsule recovery. Goddard and KinetX Aerospace were responsible for navigating the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Curation for OSIRIS-REx, including processing the sample when it arrived on Earth, is taking place at NASA Johnson.
OSIRIS-REx is the third mission in NASA’s New Frontiers Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Zoals wetenschappers hadden gehoopt, blijkt dat de asteroïde Bennu water en koolstof bevat. Dat kondigt de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA aan, die in het Johnson Space Centre beelden toonde van monsters die mee naar de aarde zijn teruggebracht.
"Water en koolstofmoleculen zijn precies het soort materiaal dat we wilden vinden", vertelde NASA-baas Bill Nelson tijdens een evenement in Houston. "Dit zijn cruciale elementen in de vorming van onze eigen planeet, en ze gaan ons helpen bij het bepalen van de oorsprong van de elementen die tot leven geleid zouden kunnen hebben.
De ruimtesonde OSIRIS-REx slaagde erin in 2020 een monster te nemen van Bennu en de capsule keerde iets meer dan twee weken geleden succesvol terug naar de aarde en landde in de Amerikaanse woestijn.
Sindsdien probeert NASA met nauwgezette processen de capsule te openen. Het is de grootste verzameling buitenaards gruis die ooit naar de aarde is gebracht. Omdat er veel materiaal buiten het verzamelcompartiment is gevonden, is het hoofdvak van de capsule zelf nog niet geopend, verklaarde Eileen Stansbery, hoofdwetenschapper bij het Johnson Space Centre. Ze voegde eraan toe dat ze hun tijd zullen nemen voor de analyses.
Voordat de capsule landde, schatte de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie dat het gelukt was om ongeveer 250 gram materiaal van de asteroïde Bennu te verzamelen, veel meer dan twee eerdere Japanse missies naar andere asteroïden.
Met de stof van planetoïde Bennu kan meer onderzoek worden gedaan naar ons zonnestelsel.
"It's beautiful, it really is - certainly what we've seen of it so far," said Dr Ashley King.
The UK scientist was in a select group to put first eyes and instruments on the rocky samples that have just been brought back from asteroid Bennu.
The materials, scooped up by a US space agency (Nasa) mission and returned to Earth 17 days ago, are currently being examined in a special lab in Texas.
"We've confirmed we went to the right asteroid," Dr King told BBC News.
The three-day analysis by the Natural History Museum (NHM) expert and five others on the "Quick Look" team showed the black, extraterrestrial powder to be rich in carbon and water-laden minerals.
That's a great sign. There's a theory that carbon-rich (organic), water-rich asteroids similar to Bennu may have been involved in delivering key components to the young Earth system some 4.5 billion years ago. It's potentially how we got the water in our oceans and some of the compounds that were necessary to kick-start life.
The asteroid samples will be used to test these ideas.
"We're trying to find out who we are, what we are, where we came from. What is our place in this vastness called the Universe?" said Nasa Administrator Bill Nelson during a briefing at the Johnson Space Center, where the dedicated lab is housed.
Ashley King: "We've confirmed we went to the right asteroid
Although it's evident the mission has returned an "abundance of sample", scientists are still not sure precisely how much of Bennu they actually have in their possession.
The sample canister which landed in the Utah desert on 24 September has been opened but the inner chamber used by the Osiris-Rex spacecraft to store the asteroid fragments for the journey home has yet to be fully emptied of its contents and weighed.
The mission team thinks it has about 250 grams (9oz) in total. It will take a few more days' careful disassembly to corroborate this estimate.
To perform their initial experiments, Dr King and colleagues used particles that had been spilled from the inner chamber - or Tag-Sam (Touch And Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism) as it's known. This fine Bennu dust coats all the canister's enclosing surfaces.
"When they took the lid off the sample canister, it just revealed this black powder everywhere. It was incredible; it was so exciting," Dr King recalled.
"We were sitting at the time and everybody just stood up and started pointing at the screen. It meant we had lots to play with for the 'quick look'. It made our job easier."

The dust was put in an electron microscope, subjected to X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy techniques and scanned by a computed tomography (CT) machine.
One of the key findings is the presence of that carbon. Lots of it. Close to 5% by weight.
"That's a big deal. When the data came back, there were scientists on the team going 'Wow, oh my God!' said Dr Daniel Galvin, an analyst from Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center. The quick look team detected both carbonates and more complex organics.
Osiris-Rex principal investigator Dr Dante Lauretta highlighted the samples' water content held in clay minerals.
"They have water locked inside their crystal structure," the cosmochemist from the University of Arizona explained.
"I want to stop and think about what that means. That water - that is how we think water got to the Earth. The reason that Earth is a habitable world - that we have oceans and lakes and rivers and rain - is because clay minerals, like the ones we're seeing from Bennu, landed on Earth 4.5 billion years ago."

The Osiris-Rex spacecraft picked up the Bennu materials in October 2020, using a daring manoeuvre to approach and then "high-five" the asteroid - an operation performed while 330 million km (205 million miles) from Earth.
It then took almost three years, for the Nasa probe to come home and drop off its precious cargo at a restricted military test range a couple of hours' drive west of Salt Lake City.
Once the full sample is extracted, a portion of it will be shared with researchers worldwide. About 100 milligrams is expected to come to the UK to be further worked on by Dr King's department at the NHM, and by collaborators at the Open, Oxford and Manchester universities.
The Osiris-Rex teams aim to have a raft of studies completed in time to report at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in March. Two major overview papers are also expected to be published at the same time in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science.

The Osiris-Rex spacecraft delivered the Bennu samples to the Utah desert in a capsule
Op de planetoïde Bennu is water en koolstof gevonden. Dat blijkt uit de eerste resultaten van bodemstalen die ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA op de ruimterots verzamelde. Het gruis is vorige maand in een capsule naar de aarde gebracht en wordt nu onderzocht. Wetenschappers hopen dat de bevindingen ons kunnen helpen begrijpen hoe het leven op aarde is ontstaan. NASA heeft vandaag de eerste foto's van de stalen en de eerste resultaten van het onderzoek wereldkundig gemaakt.
NASA heeft de eerste monsters getoond van de bodemstalen van een asteroïde van meer dan 4 miljard jaar oud. De stalen werden drie jaar geleden verzameld op een asteroïde met een doorsnede van meer dan 500 meter die rond de zon draait. Vorige maand heeft ruimtesonde Osiris-Rex tijdens een scheervlucht langs de aarde de stalen veilig in de woestijn in de Amerikaanse staat Utah gedropt.
Tijdens een persconferentie heeft NASA vandaag foto's vrijgegeven van het zwarte gruis dat werd verzameld én de eerste onderzoeksresultaten van de deeltjes wereldkundig gemaakt. Die resultaten bevestigen wat de onderzoekers al dachten. De asteroïde bevat water- en koolstofmolecules.
"Dit zijn cruciale elementen in de vorming van onze eigen planeet", zegt NASA-baas Bill Nelson. "Ze gaan ons helpen om de oorsprong te bepalen van de elementen die hier tot leven zouden kunnen hebben geleid."
"Wetenschappelijke schat"
Er wordt geschat dat tijdens de missie zo'n 250 gram aan bodemstalen van Bennu is verzameld, maar de exacte hoeveelheid kennen we nog niet. De capsule werd namelijk nog niet geopend, omdat er zoveel zwart stof en steentjes aan de buitenkant van de capsule zijn blijven hangen dat de wetenschappers zich daar eerst uitgebreid over ontfermen.
"We nemen onze tijd om alles methodisch te verwerken en goed voor elk stukje Bennu te zorgen", legt Eileen Stansbery, hoofdwetenschapper bij het Johnson Space Center uit. "Dit is nu al wetenschappelijke schat," voegt de leidende wetenschapper van de missie, Dante Lauretta van de Universiteit van Arizona, eraan toe.

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.
SOLVING AN ASTRONOMICAL PUZZLE

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.
VIDEO:
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.
Afbeelding: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team.
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.

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.
