They fell from the sky as written on 12,000 years old stone discs
They fell from the sky as written on 12,000 years old stone discs
There is much written about the mysterious extraterrestrial beings known as the "Dropa," described as extraterrestrial greys, who, around 12,000 years ago, experienced a crash landing on Earth in the Baian-Kara-Ula Mountains along the Chinese-Tibetan border.
According to what may be the earliest version of the tale, in 1937 an archeological expedition in the Bayan Har mountains led by Chi Pu Tei found half buried on the dust floor a large round stone disc, in total they found 716 stone discs and each disc was 9 inches (22.7 cm) in diameter and 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Each disc also had an exactly circular 2 cm hole in its center.
Besides the stones, the cavern walls where adorned with pictograms portraying our Solar System and intricate maps illustrating routes among the stars using intersecting lines and dots as well as remains of thin bodies with unusually large heads were also present at the site.
Amazingly, not only all 716 granite discs, dated to 12,000 years before present, were filled with carved tiny hieroglyph-like markings, which, after decoding the markings in 1962, turned out to be a ‘record’ of alien writing composed of microscopic characters written in a language never encountered before .
In 1966 further research has been conducted by Soviet researchers in Moscow who discovered that they contained large amount of cobalt and other metals, that they behaved as electrical conductors, and that they produced a humming sound when placed on a special turntable.
It would have made it difficult for the primitive people to carve the lettering, especially with such minute characters. When testing a disc with an oscillograph, a surprising oscillation rhythm was recorded as if, the scientists said, they had once been electrically charged or had functioned as electrical conductors.
The stone discs told the story of the Dropa people, space travelers from a distant planet whereby one stone disc had a thin spiral groove filled with hieroglyphics that told of the Dropa crashing their spaceship 12,000 years ago and they couldn’t repair their craft. Local Chinese (Han) killed off most of them and the survivors were those intombed in the cave.
The Dropa stones have become a focal point of controversy, with numerous assertions suggesting that they might be nothing more than an elaborate hoax. However, when researchers visited the Banpo museum in Xian in 1994 where several discs were on display, they were informed by the museum director that higher authorities had mandated the destruction of the discs. Officially, the museum did not recognize the existence of these mysterious stones.
This raises the question: were the 716 stone discs, purportedly bearing evidence of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth, truly unearthed, or is there a deliberate effort to conceal their discovery?
Montserrat is located 50 kilometers northwest of Barcelona. It is one of the most beautiful and admirable mountains in the world due to its abrupt and huge shapes. Its appearance impressive and threatening have created many legends around it. The impact it produces the first time you arrive at the mountain and contemplate the panorama is indescribable. It is a sense of mysticism and reflection that traps body and mind and offers you an aura of magical tranquility.
The interior of the mountain hides an even more mysterious world, a network of caves that are focus of many stories and legends. One of those caves, the most outstanding for its size, is the Cave of Salnitre or Cave of Collbató of almost a kilometer long.
Here our favourite legends of Montserrat and stories that you must know before visiting this amazing natural park.
The Madonna of Montserrat:
According to the legend, the Madonna of Montserrat, «La Moreneta», was found in the year 888 by some shepherds in a cave of the mountain (the «Santa Cova»). They went to the place after seeing some fireballs that came out of the cave. The lights were so strong than illuminated the church and part of Manresa. When they arrived, they found the Madonna inside the cave so they decided to transfer her to the city of Manresa but the figure began to weigh more and more. They understood then that the sacred Madonna wanted to stay in the place where the monastery is located today. Since then, there were many miracles that are associated to «la Moreneta» and her fame has grown throughout Europe.
This legend was testified by thousands of people and by the authorities. Since then, the city of Manresa has always celebrated this event with the «Festes de la Llum», which take place in February.
La Moreneta – Black Madona
“El timbaler del Bruc”:
This legend tells the story of a young man who, with his drum and the noise that the mountain did when he redoubled it, made the French troops of Napoleon Bonaparte left the sacred place. As they thought that the echo of the drum was a numerous army that came to fight against them.
Performance in Manresa of one of the legends
The warrior Ignacio de Loyola:
There is a great variety of legends, such as the conversion of Ignacio de Loyola in the 16th century. Iñigo, a Basque warrior had his conversion after venerating the virgin and overcome the temptation in a cave of Manresa. The soldier left his sword in the monastery and later founded the order of the Jesuits.
Place of abductions:
According to some testimonies of citizens of Manresa in the year 1345 stars were spotted on the peaks of Montserrat. In the 70’s some people assured to have been abducted by aliens or seen UFOs. These facts have motivated many curious and fans of the alien world to meet every day waiting for the approach of extraplanetary life.
Earth of energies that opens doors to other dimensions:
The natural park is formed by needles and monoliths of calcareous formation that act in Montserrat like powerful antennas that emit frequencies of geobiological magnetism. In addition, the storage of water in the subterranean caverns of the mountain produces a strong environmental ionization. These forces are perceived consciously or unconsciously by the visitors.
There are esoteric groups that perform their rituals invoking the magnetic forces that arise from the earth to enhance the chakra of the human being.
Believers or not, the truth is that there have been strange events in these lands, such as the disappearance of people without a trace. It is true that it is very easy to get lost in the mountains and that some roads end in cliffs. But the total disappearance of the bodies is something that keeps the investigations confused. It is said that in Montserrat there are inter-dimensional doors. Be careful when walking in the mountain to do not pass through one of them

The Holy “Grail”:
The Grail Mythology during the age of the Crusade of Europe locates the exact location of the sacred chalice near the Pyrenees, on the mountain called Mont-Salvat. Many people believed that Mont-Salvat was Montserrat. This motivated many adventurers to seek the precious treasure. The Nazis were one of them. It is said that Himmler, the Reichführer SS, visited Barcelona and looked for the Holy Grail in Montserrat in 1940. The Nazis tried to get the Force emanating from the Grail to become invincible. Himmler himself showed special interest in the geological formations of the mountain and his underground world. However, Hitler was not able to seize the Holy Chalice.

The mysticism of The Vespers:
Don’t forget to walk around the monastery, where there is still a community of 70 monks that live there. Get close to the Black Madonna with no queues. And the absolute best experience of all: listen to the children’s choir, the Escolania, in the evening. The audience is small and quiet, so the children’s angelical voices will reach to you clearly at 6.45 pm so you can see the Vespers, the evening singing of the boys’ choir.
Montserrat: Where Sacred Meets the Extraterrestrial
Montserrat: Where Sacred Meets the Extraterrestrial
Nestled in the heart of Spain, the jagged peaks of Montserrat rise as a testament to nature’s grandeur. But for those who’ve dared to tread its rugged terrains or simply gaze upon its beauty, there’s a palpable feeling that Montserrat is more than just a mountain. It’s a nexus where the divine and the unknown intertwine.
The Madonna’s Mystical Echo
At the mountain’s core lies the Benedictine abbey, home to the Black Madonna. Thousands flock to see her every year, driven by faith, hope, and tales of miracles. But is it possible that the Madonna’s allure might be connected to something… not of this world? Whispers among the locals suggest that the numerous sightings of celestial phenomena on the 11th of every month might not be mere coincidence.
The Luminous Sky Dance
On cool, clear nights, the skies above Montserrat come alive. Eyewitnesses recount seeing strange, glowing orbs dancing across the horizon, sometimes in patterns too synchronized to dismiss as mere flukes. Javier, a local farmer, shared his own experience: “I was tending to my sheep when the sky lit up. At first, I thought it was a shooting star, but then it zigzagged in ways no star ever could.”
Caverns of Cosmic Secrets
The mountain’s vast network of caves and passages holds tales of their own. Ana, a seasoned explorer, recounts an eerie episode. “We were deep inside one of Montserrat’s caves when our equipment began to malfunction. The compass spun wildly, and our lights flickered. Then, we heard a hum – soft at first, then deafening. By the time we exited, two hours had passed, though it felt like mere minutes.”
The Silent Observers
Several visitors have also reported seeing mysterious figures observing them from a distance. Not quite human, these entities seem to vanish when approached. A café owner, Luisa, said, “There’s a spot on the mountain where you feel watched. It’s not menacing, just… curious.”
Beyond Earthly Explanations
While skeptics might brush off these accounts as products of overactive imaginations, the sheer volume of stories and their consistency raises eyebrows. Is Montserrat a cosmic crossroads? Are the spiritual and extraterrestrial realms converging here?
Intrigue in the Shadows
There are murmurs that the government knows more than they’re letting on. Discreet vehicles with tinted windows, sightings of unfamiliar military personnel, and inexplicable electronic disruptions have all been reported. It seems Montserrat’s mysteries might be drawing attention from higher up.
Video:
Montserrat remains an enigma, a place where faith, legend, and the unexplained coalesce. For those brave enough to venture forth, the mountain promises more than scenic beauty; it offers a journey into the very fabric of the unknown.
De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft een ruimtesonde gelanceerd naar de asteroïde Psyche. Die bestaat voor een groot stuk uit kostbare metalen, zoals goud en platina, en zou veel meer waard zijn dan de hele wereldeconomie. Het ruimtetuig moet in 2029 aankomen om 2 jaar lang rond de asteroïde te draaien voor onderzoek.
9 triljoen euro (een 9 met 18 nullen erachter), ofwel zo'n 100.000 keer meer dan de hele wereldeconomie. Dat is de geschatte waarde van de asteroïde Psyche (officieel: "16 Psyche"). Er wordt aangenomen dat de asteroïde grotendeels uit metaal bestaat, vooral ijzer en nikkel. Maar ook uit kostbare edelmetalen, zoals goud en platina.
Het is naar die asteroïde dat in de Verenigde Staten de gelijknamige ruimtemissie Psyche is vertrokken. Om 16.19 uur Belgische tijd is een Falcon Heavy-raket van SpaceX gelanceerd met de ruimtesonde aan boord.
De ruimtesonde moet na een reis van 3,6 miljard kilometer in 2029 aankomen bij Psyche om er 2 jaar lang rond de asteroïde te cirkelen. Het is dus niet de bedoeling om er te landen en bodemstalen op te pikken, zoals ruimtesonde OSIRIS-REx deed op de asteroïde Bennu.
Feiten en cijfers
Psyche is een enorme brok metaal die rond de zon draait, ergens tussen Mars en Jupiter. Het is één van de grotere en zwaarste asteroïden die we kennen.
Psyche heeft een onregelmatige vorm en lijkt wat op een aardappel. Op haar breedst is Psyche zo'n 280 kilometer groot, ongeveer dezelfde afstand in vogelvlucht als van De Panne naar Aarlen. De oppervlakte is zo'n 165.000 vierkante kilometer groot.
De NASA-missie kost ongeveer 1,1 miljard euro.
De Falcon Heavy-raket staat klaar op het lanceerplatform in Cape Canaveral, Florida
Psyche wordt ook wel eens de asteroïde genoemd die elke aardbewoner schatrijk kan maken. Of dat is de theorie natuurlijk. Want mocht goud plots in overvloed aanwezig zijn, zou het ook zijn waarde verliezen.
NASA heeft (voorlopig) vooral een ander doel voor ogen: kennis vergaren. Het is de eerste ruimtemissie naar een wereld die niet vooral uit steen of ijs bestaat, maar uit metaal.
Er wordt vermoed dat Psyche een dode planeet is waarvan enkel de kern is overgebleven. Haar buitenste laag zou ze zijn verloren door botsingen met andere objecten in het begin van het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel.
Het geeft wetenschappers de kans om voor het eerst zo'n kern te bestuderen. Ook onze aarde en alle andere gekende rotsplaneten hebben een kern van metaal.
"We kunnen geen gat boren tot in de kern van onze aarde of van andere planeten", zegt astronoom Jim Bell van de Arizona State University die het wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar Psyche leidt.
"Het is te heet en de druk is te groot, onze instrumenten zouden smelten." De reis naar Psyche kan dus worden gezien als een reis naar het binnenste van onze aarde, klinkt het bij NASA.
Nikkel, goud en platina van Psyche halen en naar de aarde brengen, is technisch nog niet mogelijk en veel duurder dan wat het oplevert. Maar de mogelijkheden van mijnbouw op asteroïden worden wel al volop onderzocht. Je kan er dus van op aan dat het ooit werkelijkheid wordt én winstgevend. En een hoop vragen met zich zal meebrengen.
The reality of the UAP phenomenon is larger than just non-human crafts flying with incredible speed in the air and water. Reportedly, there are incidents where UFOs were noticed interacting with the nuclear arsenal of the United States, shutting down the nuclear missiles. It is well-acknowledged by the US Defence Department that whatever this phenomenon is, it is a serious concern to national security. Moreover, instead of disabling nukes, UFOs have severely affected the witnesses biologically and physically.
Award-winning journalist Linda Moulton Howe held a special interview with Former AATIP head Luis Elizondo on surpassing 200,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel. She asked Elizondo audacious questions regarding the phenomenon and its effect on the human body. Mr. Elizondo briefed on the previously known facts: that UFOs interfered with electrical and nuclear systems, and that there are unique physical effects for witnesses after close encounters.
First of all, not going into depth due to protocols, Mr. ELizondo revealed that an alleged incident happened in the 1970s, where UFOs knocked an entire nuclear-powered aircraft carrier offline for some time. This revelation was made in a talk where Elizondo outlined why the world’s governments have been so secretive about these objects and why they consider them a potential security threat.
Secondly, the UFO impacted the consciousness of the individual. In 2021, Stanford Professor said in an interview with Motherboard: “Some of their (UFO contactee) brains were horribly, horribly damaged.” He was approached by a CIA-led group that showed him MRI scans of the people injured by the fields generated by UAPs, and the presence of brain trauma was evident.
It has been reported that some pilots and others who had close encounters with UFOs experienced radiation burns and negative mental damage. However, Mr. Elizondo told Linda Howe that he was equally astonished by seeing certain instances where exposed individuals experienced “good” side effects after coming into touch.
He said: “There is also some preliminary data to suggest that some individual individuals actually report the opposite so rather than having some sort of negative biological consequence all of a sudden you have somebody who’s now for example a piano virtuoso who’s never sat in front of a piano before or who now becomes suddenly super artistic or who claims to have some sort of extra-sensory capabilities or talents now if you will or a sixth sense.”
Linda Howe discussed a highly classified report from the year 2000 produced by the UK Air Defence that noted down the serious biological impact of UAPs on humans. “The well-reported Rendlesham Forest/Bentwaters event is an example where it might be postulated that several observers were probably exposed to UAP radiation for longer than normal UAP sighting periods There may be other cases that remain unreported. It is clear that the recipients of these effects are not aware that their behavior/perception of what they are observing is being modified. The E field strengths which are known to affect the brain are of the order 50 multivolts per centimeter at between 1 and 100MHz and experiments have shown that effects can be produced at levels of 10-7 to 10-8 volts per centimeter.” (Source)
It is concluded therefore that if some UAPs, as is believed and correlated by actual reports (collateral effects on, for example, car electrical equipment), produce EM radiation, then there is a high probability that they can affect the human brain.
The AATIP report, which The Sun obtained from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) as part of a sizable Freedom of Information request, looks into the effects of paranormal experiences on people’s health. According to interviews in this Pentagon report from 2010, UFO sightings have left witnesses with radiation burns, mental damage, and “felt time suspension.” It compiled 42 cases of adverse effects from medical files and 300 from “unpublished” cases. (Source
The study is titled “Anomalous Acute And Subacute Field Effects on Human and Biological Tissues.” It is dated March 11, 2010. “Classified information exists that is highly pertinent to the subject of this study and only a small part of the classified literature has been released,” the document states.
Following these incidents, astronomer Jacques Vallée developed an alternative hypothesis that UFOs are part of a mechanism for controlling mankind. During his interview in 1986, he said that UFOs are “physical object that interacts with the environment that causes effects on the witnesses on the psychology and the physiology and leaves traces on the ground and yet are capable of appeared to be manipulating time and space in ways that go beyond what our physics understands.”
While working on the French Space Committee, Dr. Vallée claimed to have witnessed his superiors destroy tracking tapes of a UFO that his team had observed. This, along with a personal UFO sighting several years earlier, created his lifelong interest in UFOs. Initially falling in line with the Extraterrestrial hypothesis, he soon began to realize its serious flaws, namely:
The unexplained close encounters are far more numerous than required for any physical survey of the earth; the humanoid body structure of the alleged “aliens” is not likely to have originated on another planet and is not biologically adapted to space travel; the reported behavior in thousands of abduction reports contradicts the hypothesis of genetic or scientific experimentation on humans by an advanced race; the extension of the phenomenon throughout recorded human history demonstrates that UFOs are not a contemporary phenomenon; the apparent ability of UFOs to manipulate space and time suggests radically different and richer alternatives.
According to Dr. Vallée, the basic idea is that UFOs are essentially a “show” put on for people to generate some sort of reaction, and have been operating on human culture for all of recorded history. Dr. Vallée argued that when investigating a UFO encounter, the focus should be on the witness, and how he/she interpreted the event, and how it affected their life (he noted that many people tend to emotionally react to a UFO sighting as a spiritual or religious experience).
AATIP’s successor, the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), is discussed in the recently released book “Skinwalkers at The Pentagon.” The researchers describe how this phenomenon has been well-documented with plenty of proof that it affects people in the book.
The AAWSAP looked into reports of UFO sightings, examined reports of UFO encounters on US military installations and a number of odd occurrences that government investigators came across at Skinwalker Ranch. UFO encounters frequently led to the “attaching” of unusual phenomena to military troops, who came to the ranch and brought “something” home. As a result, their families experienced terrifying paranormal outbreaks that scared and occasionally injured their children.
In evaluating Dr. Vallée’s control system hypothesis, the obvious questions are: Who or what is in charge and managing it? If something is non-human, then what? Where is the real evidence for this idea, other than that some of Vallée’s carefully selected cases can be made (with difficulty) to force-fit the theory? Most people care little about UFOs and have no interest in the subject, so how does this theory stand up?

EXCLUSIVE: I've handled the Mexican 'alien mummies' that set the world alight last month - I don't think they're aliens, I think they're something much SCARIER
EXCLUSIVE: I've handled the Mexican 'alien mummies' that set the world alight last month - I don't think they're aliens, I think they're something much SCARIER
Mummy heads have 'remarkable similarity' to alpaca skulls
But musician Will Galison doesn't believe they are a deliberate hoax
A UFO enthusiast who has seen two supposed ‘alien’ mummies up close has revealed they are probably not ETs - but something perhaps even scarier.
The miniature corpses were presented in Mexico last month by Jaime Maussan, a controversial journalist who has previously made debunked claims of finding aliens and claims they are extraterrestrial.
But ufologist Will Galison - a close friend of the archaeologist who first analyzed the supposed 'aliens' - said he believes the 'corpses' are dummies that are 1,000 years old - but he does not think they are a hoax.
He said they may have been made from animal remains a millennia ago, possibly for ritual purposes, with the heads bearing a 'remarkable similarity' to alpaca skulls.
Galison - who has performed with Sting, Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, and Chaka - saw the mummies in 2017 in Peru long before Maussan's presentation, and had traveled to see them initially because he believed they might be extraterrestrial remains.
Will Galison is friends with Thierry Jarmin, the French archaeologist who was allegedly given the mummies by a tomb robber (Nub TV)
The alleged 'aliens' were shown off in Mexico by controversial journalist Jaime Maussan
Galison said in a documentary interview with UFO TV show Nub TV that he visited Peru twice and even took a cast of one of the mummy 'heads'.
He said, ‘I’m friendly with the French archaeologist Thierry Jarmin, who is a person who is not mentioned as much as he should be.
'He received these mummies in 2016 from a tomb robber. Thierry was very surprised and quite upset by Jaime Maussan’s press conference.’
Maussan claimed in the press conference in September: 'This is the first time extraterrestrial life is presented in such a form and I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world and that any scientific institution can investigate it. We are not alone.'
Galison said that he now no longer believes that the mummies ‘came down in a flying saucer’ - but believes they were constructed a long time ago, for unknown reasons.
The mummies appear to be constructed from a mixture of animal and human bones, he says.
He said in the documentary: ‘They found one bone in the arm of one of the mummies that clearly was not the organic bone that was there. So that raises the question, is the rest of it fake?
In Maussan's presentation, a doctor claimed that an MRI scan showed that the skeletons were 'complete', but most scientists were convinced the remains were a hoax - with previous similar remains having turned out to be mutilated mummies of pre-Hispanic children, sometimes combined with bits of animal parts.
‘My thinking shifted when I was up in the friend's house in the country, north of New York. And I saw a deer skull on the mantel and the back of that deer skull, to my mind, resembled the front of this of this skull and I thought, “Oh wow”.’
The mummies are to undergo tests, Maussan claimed

He said that there is a ‘remarkable similarity’ between the heads of the alleged aliens and alpaca skulls.
He also pointed out that the eggs inside the mummies, which Maussan highlighted as proving their non-human origin ‘look like reptilian eggs’ - although it's less clear why their creators put eggs within the bodies.
He says in the documentary, ‘It was obviously put together - the question is was it put together in 2015 to sell to Thierry, or was it made 1,000 years ago?
‘I do not think that they flew down in saucer and landed on Earth recently, or even 1,000 years ago, because a CT scan showed another thing according to some of the doctors that examined these things: the leg bones on these things were suffering from osteoporosis.’
He said that he was initially ‘really invested in these things being real’, and has since seen similar mummies in Peru which are not as widely known.
He remains curious as to why an Incan culture 1,000 years ago would have made such creatures - including going to the lengths of putting eggs inside them which could only be seen via X-ray.
He says that he still wonders whether the mummies were a recreation of some form of being that the Incans had encountered.
Mark Christopher Lee, the presenter of Nub TV, who interviewed Galison, said: ‘Will has been to Peru and examined the mummies as close friends with Thierry and they have discussed them for many hours. Thierry is not very happy about Jaime Maussan's press conference in Mexico.
‘Will examined them and he suggests that maybe the Incans made them to venerate - possibly as their Gods or ancestors - why make them in that image?
‘'aime Maussan, as well as being under investigation for bringing these artefacts out of Peru to Mexico, has a notorious track record of making false claims etc.’
Maussan told politicians that the strange little corpses, which were displayed in satin-lined makeshift coffins, had been found in the city of Cusco, Peru, in 2017.
Maussan also testified under oath that almost a third of their DNA was 'unknown' and the specimens were not part of 'our terrestrial evolution'.
Lee’s TV show, Nub TV, mixes music and paranormal discussions - and revealed recently that Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb believes that aliens could visit earth in the form of AI drones, and might feel ‘kinship’ with AI systems on Earth.
Nub TV was inspired by Arthur C Clarke’s Mysterious World in the 70s, Steel said. ‘I like to take UFOs and other phenomena from a slightly skeptical scientific approach - but looking at them with an open mind.
‘Because I’m a musician, we tend to mix it up with music, so it’s been described as a mix of Wayne’s World and The X-Files!’
Nub TV is on Tubi and Ayozat.com, and the interview with Galison will air later this month.
What are UFOs? The question that has been buzzing for decades might not have a simple explanation. From alien spaceships to interdimensional crafts, these mysterious objects are associated with various strange phenomena. There are a number of whistleblowers who have claimed that the U.S. government possesses UFO materials retrieved from crash sites, but the exact nature of these materials is not known.
UFO filmmaker Jeremy Corbell claims: “UFOs are real, and we’re no closer to understanding what a UFO truly is, who operates them, where they are from, what their intent is, or what they represent to humankind. So when the public in general sees that on the news, it’s like, “Okay, yeah, we all kind of thought that because we’re seeing them. Thanks, government, but nothing’s really answered.”
Corbell has discussed various theories surrounding UAPs/UFO phenomena with Steve-O on his podcast. He put forward ideas on what UFOs could manifest. Apart from interplanetary spacecraft, terrestrial, non-terrestrial, or interdimensional objects, Corbell introduced a new term to explain UFOs, which is “extratemporal.” He explained that many scientists working on UFO-related projects believe these crafts utilize gravitational propulsion, a technology we have yet to fully understand. Manipulating gravity could distort time and space, suggesting that these crafts might originate from another time; hence, the term is “extratemporal.”
Corbell noted that when it comes to duplicating or reverse-engineering these non-human technologies, our current understanding of science is not up to that mark. Corbell mentions that one of the significant challenges in understanding UFOs is the limitations of our material science. He explains that attempts at reverse engineering UFO materials or craft are hindered because our material science has not advanced enough to replicate these materials accurately.
“These craft can move; they call it transmedium. From space through air without a sonic boom, they can move at speed and into the sea without disturbance, without slowing down. That’s transmedium. So the idea of how do they do that with physics? Some people say, ‘Well, the craft’s skin, you know, it’s like hydrophobic; when you go in, it just slips in.’ But really what we’re seeing is objects that appear to move in ways that our physics understands; we just can’t replicate gravitational fields,” Corbell says.
Corbell explains that some people think UFOs might be using things like time travel or manipulating gravity to achieve these unusual movements. He mentions the idea that if they can control gravity somehow, they could create a kind of force field around their craft that makes them move in ways that we cannot explain with our current science.
Corbell also talks about the way UFOs can move from space into the Earth’s atmosphere or even underwater without making a sound or causing disturbances. He suggests that this could be related to their ability to control gravity, allowing them to smoothly transition between different environments.
Skin of the UFO is alive
Steve-O expresses his view that the distinction between craft and biologics in the UFO phenomenon is not entirely clear to him. He suggests that it might be more accurate to consider that the boundary between what is traditionally thought of as a craft and a biological entity is blurry. He implies that the craft themselves might have some form of biological elements.
Corbell agrees with this perspective and mentions that many military personnel who have had close encounters with UFOs often report a strange characteristic about the craft’s “skin.” According to these reports, the craft’s exterior appears to exhibit signs of intelligence and liveliness. Corbell notes that this observation is puzzling, especially to engineers who are accustomed to thinking of machines as non-biological entities.
Corbell further explores the idea that these UFOs may be so integrated with biological elements that they could be considered a form of biology as we understand it, even though they are still functional craft capable of carrying things.
Some of these UFOs appear to be piloted by what Corbell refers to as artificial intelligence, essentially acting like drones. Others seem to carry occupants, which they refer to as “biologics” or biological entities. However, they entertain the idea that even these occupants could be some form of cybernetic organisms with synthetic flesh, essentially functioning as autonomous AI beings.
Israeli Psychic Uri Geller, who is often misjudged on social media for his bizarre posts, was a part of CIA secret programs where his abilities were used in the area of “mind projection” and possibly for national security purposes. A declassified CIA document revealed information about the “Project Stargate” that was focused on remote viewing.
He played an important role in the CIA investigation into ESP and psychokinesis. In one experiment for the CIA, Geller was isolated in a room to draw the same picture that had been drawn by another person in another room. He drew a picture of a square with diagonals. In 2017, the CIA released some 12 million pages of records, revealing details about Project Stargate.
One of Geller’s least-known claims is about working with NASA. He got acquainted with Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell and later, the two became friends. He was then asked by Mitchell to meet a legendary German-born American aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun.
Geller said Kennedy argued to bring him to the US so that they could use his mind. Along with his brother-in-law Shipi Shtrang, Geller visited NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. While being there, Geller gave his secret spy camera to Shtrang which he used later to take photographs of Geller, Mitchell, von Braun, and more.
Geller claimed that he could not believe his eyes as he was shown extraterrestrial evidence at the Goddard Space Flight Center. During their meeting, Von Braun doubted Geller. “He said he heard about my powers and told me that if he took his wedding ring off his finger and put it in the palm of his hand and I’d be able to bend it while it’s there, he’d believe me,” Geller recounted. “And I did – completely.”
After that, Geller was shown a piece of metal at Von Braun’s office. “It was metallic, smooth, pearl-like, with rainbow reflective ‘skin.’ When I held it I sensed vibrations. It felt like it was breathing… as if it was alive. Von Braun said I was right – and that it was from a crashed UFO,” he explained. He never found out where this metal had come from. “UFOs/UAPS are not just nuts and bolt craft,” Geller posts on X (formerly Twitter).
With Curt Jaimungal on his Theories of Everything (TOE) podcast in 2021, former AATIP head Luis Elizondo carefully hinted that “potentially” the U.S. government had acquired otherworldly biological samples. He also suggested that the government has images of UAPs that appear to show beings inside them.
“Have there potentially been biological samples recovered?” Curt asked. ELizondo replied: “Yes. I’m not going to expound on that… and be careful when I say that. I’m being purposely very open and vague at the same time, right? What does that mean? Well, it means what it means.”
Besides, when asked if there are photos that show occupants inside “craft,” Elizondo said: “There are some very compelling photos out there that seem to show something inside, some sort of occupancy, And I’ll leave it at that, because it gets really murky, much beyond that.
And there’s a lot that can be speculated. And so I try to avoid speculation as much as possible. But yes, I’ve spoken to enough people with firsthand knowledge that not only report the crafts that we know exists, but potentially some sort of intelligence inside these vehicles.”
Why isn’t this topic being discussed by everyone on the planet? Is it feasible that the majority of people are disregarding this news, even if they are aware of it? At what point does the truth and its mind-boggling consequences become too conspicuous to overlook?
Former intelligence officer David Grusch also testified in July 2023 UAP hearings that the U.S. has recoverednon-human “biologics”from alleged crash sites, which further bolsters Corbell and Geller’s claims that the craft’s skin or its occupants exhibit signs of intelligence and liveliness.

Now this looks like some powerful evidence that Bigfoot exists. This is one of the top 3 worldwide videos ever taken and it looks real to me. This thing is tall, about 7-8 feet and he sits down at the end of the video to try to blend in so he can't be seen. It looks like Bigfoot not only exists, he's living in South West Colorado, USA. Yes I feels he's an alien, and he talks walks through nature for mediation like humans go to temples and churches.
Whats your thoughts about this one? Is bigfoot an alien? Is this really him or is this a hunter in disguise? It looks real to me, let me know in the comments below. Scott Waring
Government's secret UFO dump: Border security quietly releases tranche of 10 videos of mysterious 'craft' whizzing around US skies - as ex-intelligence officer says they are a THREAT
Government's secret UFO dump: Border security quietly releases tranche of 10 videos of mysterious 'craft' whizzing around US skies - as ex-intelligence officer says they are a THREAT
US Customs and Border Protection quietly fulfilled a UFO FOIA request
CBP's release includes 10 videos 'pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon'
The mysterious release also includes 389-pages of partially redacted records
A tranche of UFO videos — including never-before-seen footage — has been quietly released by federal law enforcement.
US Customs and Border Protection, the agency responsible for keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the country, uploaded 10 videos that appear to show craft moving in strange ways in our skies.
The videos were released on August 9without warning, a press release or much in the way of context, only to be discovered by UFO enthusiasts and online sleuths earlier this week.
The videos document a fighter jet pursued by an apparently baffling flying orb, as well as something that appears to be a propeller-powered hang-glider, and yet another apparent floating orb, hovering this time near a parked 16-wheeler truck.
But the enigmatic nature of the drop — which offered little detail regarding the times and locations of these sightings, plus more than a few sweeping redactions — has left more questions than answers.
The quiet video drop follows rising tensions within the corridors of power in Washington on the once taboo subject of UFOs.
Open congressional hearings, federal legislation and even brand new government offices have now been dedicated openly to the investigation of these aerial mysteries, with at least one former senior US intelligence official calling the strange sightings 'a national security issue.'
US Customs and Border Patrol uploaded 10 videos that appear to show craft moving in strange ways in our skies. One video documents a fighter jet pursued by an apparent flying orb (above), in which key technical details from the agency's infrared camera display are redacted
But perhaps most significantly, the US CBP release confirms, at least tacitly, the veracity of a heavily scrutinized, 2013 thermal UFO video leaked to UFO researchers in 2015. For the first time since the leak, the April 25, 2013 Aguadilla, Puerto Rico UFO video has been confirmed
The videos were released on a dedicated site for agency records made public via requests under the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
But perhaps most significantly, the release confirms, at least tacitly, the veracity of a heavily-scrutinized, 2013 thermal UFO video leaked to UFO researchers in 2015.
Asked by NBC News, Chris Mellon, a former official with the Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, described the release as 'very significant.'
'This will help the public understand what our military personnel are encountering all over the world,' Mellon said.
Chris Mellon, formerly with the Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, praised US Customs for their UFO records drop, saying the newly released videos 'will help the public understand what our military personnel are encountering all over the world'
"We're getting, on the Defense Department side, 50 to 100 [UFO] reports per month — and this is happening globally.'
'It's happening overseas. It's happening off the east coast and the west coast,' he elaborated. 'This will help people better understand why Congress takes the issue seriously [and] why it's a national security issue.'
While Mellon praised US Customs' show of openness and transparency with the official release of these 10 videos, America's dedicated community of UFO skeptics were less impressed.
Mick West, a prolific and dedicated examiner of UFO claims and the owner of the skeptics forum Metabunk, described the videos as 'mostly not new.'
'And those that are new are not particularly interesting,' West told the DailyMail.com, noting that several had already been the subject of unofficial leaks to reporters and researchers on the UFO beat.
West, a retired computer programmer and video game designer, described the first of US Customs' UAP videos as something that 'looks like a microlight aircraft.'
Several others, he noted, appeared to be 'ambiguous white dots, [...] a balloon or a plastic bag.'
The second video, West said, was the so-called 'Rubber Duck' UAP, which the noted skeptic devoted considerable time to investigating on his YouTube channel and in Metabunk's forum back in 2021.
West identified CBP video 9 as the 'infamous 'Aguadilla' video,' which he has argued reveals a thermal signature 'consistent with a pair of wedding lanterns drifting in the wind.'
West has taken the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) to task for errors located in an Appendix to their lengthy report on the Aguadilla case, but at least according to the SCU's co-founder, engineer Robert Powell, those errors do not undermine the remainder of his team's assessment.
'The report does not depend on Appendix L,' Powell told the DailyMail.com, stating that West did not have an answer for why floating wedding lanterns would veer from west to north, as the Aguadilla UFO is recorded doing in the video's final moments.
'The second reason it's not Chinese lanterns,' according to Powel, 'is that Chinese lanterns can't survive the wind speeds that were occurring that day. The wind speeds were around 13 miles an hour.'
'It's basically a little candle that sits on these little wires, and you've got a very light [plastic or paper] bag around it,' Powell said. 'Heavy winds will collapse the outside of your Chinese lantern.'
Whatever the mystery of Aguadilla proves to be, US Customs' 10 videos were not the only agency records quietly released this August under FOIA.
The agency's official confirmation of these previously only leaked thermal videos and security recordings were also accompanied by a 389-page PDF document, ostensibly of UAP records held internally by US Customs.
In another video, released via FOIA by US Customs and Border Protection, yet another apparent orb can be seen hovering near a parked 16-wheeler truck
While the paperwork includes much chaff — news clippings, and already public government reports — the FOIA drop also included internal emails detailing internal deliberations on the law enforcement agency's UFO cases.
Several agency emails from August 2021, document an exchange between a UFO enthusiast and his superior regarding efforts to comply with spirit of the then-recent congressional legislation on UFOs and the resulting UAP Task Force report.
'As a pet project, or for fun, do all the research you want,' the redacted official wrote to the CBP's equivalent to X-Files FBI agent Fox Mulder. 'I know this topic is of great interest to you and there's a ton of information to sift through.'
'There just isn't an avenue for any formal research or reporting any type of findings or conclusions,' the redacted official stressed.
The also-redacted CPB employee responded, 'T4... I apologize, and took The Director of National Intelligence's UAP report seriously.'
But the release also includes over two dozen tantalizing pages that have been redacted in their entirety.
Per statute, each page lists the legal exemption under which US CBP is permitted to withhold certain records relevant to an open records request.
The majority of these redactions, in this case, were justified under the b(5) and b(7)e exemptions clauses of federal FOIA law.
Investigative reporters and open government advocates have dubbed the b(5) exemption the 'The Withhold It Because You Want To Exemption' as its guidelines were even described by the US Justice Department as 'opaque.'
The b(7)e exemption pertains effectively to law enforcement's own 'sources and methods,' as it withholds details that would 'disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions' and other material that officials believe 'could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law.'
To this end, several of the released videos have notably redacted the majority of the heads-up-display information from US CBP's infrared or thermal video recordings: which would likely include data on the altitude, bearing and range of these UAP.
Another video shows a strange glowing orb - but the videos were released with little by way of supporting documentation as to dates, times, personnel or recording equipment used, making each of US Custom's UFO videos hard to contextualize
All summer long, a sweltering UFO fever has gripped Washington DC, stoked in no small measure by a series of extraordinary claims and revelations from lawmakers, former US intelligence and Navy personnel.
This past June, charges of an illegal, hidden UFO crash retrieval program operating within the shadows exploded across television airwaves and online as made by Air Force and intelligence agency veteran David Grusch.
Soon thereafter, Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Marco Rubio revealed he too had been briefed by several other US government officials with top-level security clearances, who professed that they personally had 'first-hand' knowledge of UFO programs.
By late July, Grusch was reasserting many of his claims under oath before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, along with Ryan Graves, an esteemed former pilot, and veteran Navy fighter pilot Commander David Fravor, who witnessed the now famous 2004 'Tic Tac' UFO.
In his further comments on the new CPB videos, former DOD intelligence official Chris Mellon hoped that the newly official US Customs videos would spur the Pentagon toward greater transparency itself.
Mellon noted that these mysterious UFO videos highlight 'the challenges we are facing monitoring and controlling our airspace.'
He cited both last February's infamous Chinese spy balloon affair (and still-as-yet-unidentified UAP), and 'of course the explosion of drone use around the world,' as examples of the new threats to US sovereignty posed by the weak official reporting and widespread stigma surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena.
'I hope that the Defense Department and [US] Intelligence Community are paying attention,' Mellon told NBC.
'They have many videos that are of a similar, unclassified nature,' he noted, 'or were, until they — out of nowhere — created this new classification guide.'
Echoing comments by Grusch on the legality of the Pentagon's actions, Mellon went on to express the opinion that the DoD's new and more expansive classification standards for its own UAP or UFO videos might not be 'lawful.'
'I don't think that's consistent with the executive order governing classification,' the former intelligence official said. 'But they are withholding a lot of similar kinds of videos from the public on that basis.'
Have YOU seen one? The Pentagon reveals what the most commonly reported UFO looks like
But that could finally change following the official release of information from the Pentagon about the mysterious aerial phenomena.
The new Department of Defense document reveals characteristics of the typical UFO, including the colour and the shape, velocity, and flight level
Based on clues from reported sightings, the typical UFO has a round shape, usually described as spherical or an orb, with a white or silver colour, often translucent.
It also has a size of between 3 and 13 feet (1 to 4 metres) and usually travels through the air at a height just below commercial passenger planes.

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."

When the sample canister was opened, a black dust coated all surfaces
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.

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.”
