UFOs, Aliens, and the Problem of Evil
UFOs, Aliens, and the Problem of Evil
What is the psychological significance of the UFO or UAP phenomenon?
We tend to fear and project our shadow onto strangers.
Evil is, and should be, one of life's "ultimate concerns."
It is incumbent upon us to recognize, acknowledge, and constructively address the reality of evil.
The mysterious phenomenon of UFOs or UAPs inevitably touches on matters of religion, spirituality, morality, and psychology, including our innate quest for meaning and, especially, on the perennial problem of evil. We humans possess a primal, perhaps instinctual proclivity to perceive and deem that which we do not understand, i.e., the unknown, as negative, destructive, or evil.
In Part 1 of this post, I addressed some of the psychological dynamics and existential needs (e.g., meaninglessness and alienation in a mysterious cosmos, dread of the stranger or "other," seeking a messianic "ultimate rescuer," etc.) that can foster belief in UFOs, extraterrestrial visitation or abduction, etc.
Fervent, far-fetched, unswerving and unlikely reports with absolutely no objective evidence or corroboration can, in some cases, sound like the stuff of delusions or hallucinations heard every day in psychiatric wards around the world. And like hallucinations and delusions, these reported experiences can sometimes serve as a sort of projective test, revealing hidden conflicts, fears, resentments, repressed memories, traumas, and anxieties (and sometimes positive feelings, wishes, talents, potentialities, aspirations or beliefs) not only in the psyche of individual experiencers but deeply rooted in our collective unconscious psyche as well.
However, having said all that, this is in no way intended by me to dismiss or deny the objective reality of the UFO or UAP phenomenon but rather only to provide some psychological context within which to try to better comprehend, explain, and come to terms with it. Given some of the most recent information and imagery released by the government, for example, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, chair of a federal declassification task force, telling Joe Rogan (August, 2025) that she’s seen classified photos of objects “not created by mankind,” New York Times articles (2018, 2020) on UAPs offering several images of unidentified objects captured via video by the U.S. military, and thousands of eye-witness accounts by airline pilots, military personnel, police, etc., and other reliable and credible witnesses, it can no longer be denied that strange objects have been observed.
As with Hermann Rorschach's famous inkblots, we tend to project our deepest hopes and fears onto such enigmatic and ambiguous phenomena. Indeed, human beings are prone, as C.G. Jung theorized in his concept of the "shadow," to project our own capacity for evil onto the "other"--be they our partner, neighbor, co-worker, or someone of a different race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, political leaning, or sexual orientation--thus preserving our narcissistic and one-sided, unidimensional image of ourselves as being good, kind, caring people while consciously or unconsciously harboring hostility, hatred, resentment, distrust, and dread of the unknown other or stranger.
What is a demon? It is a creature not of this world. Foreign to us in almost every way. They traveled to us with magic we probably don't understand.
This dangerous and destructive dynamic is exemplified today in the excessive polarization, paranoia, and interpersonal hostility pervading American culture, manifesting in racism, antisemitism, political enmity, and defensive isolationism. But other nations and people engage in similar projection of the shadow, in the process, dehumanizing, devaluing, and demeaning the perceived enemy.
Human beings historically harbor a primal fear of the "other" and the "unknown" and superstitiously see them as threatening harbingers of evil, whether these are people of different races, ethnicities, nationalities, or religions or uninvited and unwelcome strangers from outer space. We project our so-called shadow, viewing them as the evil enemy. (See, for example, former PT contributing editor Sam Keen's 1991 book Faces of the Enemy.) Consequentially, we are prone to attacking, verbally or physically, the unknown object of our fears, which causes untold interpersonal and international conflict and unspeakable suffering.
On the other hand, belief in UFOs and alien beings can be a way of wishing to be rescued from evil, much like the belief in a loving and good god or messiah (see my prior post on the messiah complex). This presumes the intrinsic benevolence and goodness of aliens. But is the problem or existential reality of evil indigenous to the human race or could it be present in extraterrestrial civilization as well? Whatever these foreign objects and their occupants (or remote or robotic pilots) are and wherever they come from, they have now become an integral part of our modern collective myth, for better or worse.
To many folks, the only difference is their motivations. Are they here to be friend or foe? Whether they got here via science or magic is meaningless compared to how they want to greet us?
If aliens, assuming they truly exist, eventually turn out not to be trustworthy, demonstrating hostility, aggression, malice, evil intentions and pose a mortal threat to humanity, as depicted for example in H.G. Wells' (1897) science fiction novel War of the Worlds, they will need to be fought and resisted despite their superior technology if humanity is to survive. That they even possess or represent such a potentiality for evil is for some people frightening reason enough to deny their existence entirely. Not to mention the shattering impact that the reality of alien life would have on our religious, philosophical, and scientific beliefs.
Of course, another at least equally likely scenario in any close encounter with aliens has humanity as the initial aggressor, violently attacking these possibly well-intentioned, empathic, and peaceful visitors, as portrayed in another classic 1951 sci-fi flick The Day the Earth Stood Still. Indeed, it is at least equally possible that such enigmatic alien entities mean no harm by their presence or may actually wish to help society and humanity survive and thrive. That their mission here is to save us from ourselves.
Have evolved extraterrestrials, very unlike humanity, found some way to transcend, mitigate, or even eliminate the pernicious problem of evil that has plagued humanity from time immemorial? If so, would that make them immune to the tendency toward evil? Is this even a realistic possibility? It represents an optimistic but potentially very naive and, therefore, risky view which to assume would be wishful thinking. Because many people tend, as did humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers, to believe in the intrinsic goodness of others, we will likely give any extraterrestrial visitors the benefit of the doubt initially, presuming that by providing them a warm, friendly, supportive, empathic welcome (demonstrating "positive regard") they will choose to respond in kind. Perhaps.
But until we know for certain much more about these supposedly extraterrestrial strangers, whomever or whatever they are, we would do well to keep in mind the existential capacity for evil, not only potentially in them but especially in ourselves. For all we know, the problem of evil may reside inherently and exclusively in the terrestrial human condition but, then again, could turn out to be a pervasive and ubiquitous universal reality, one which, as here on Earth, can lead to catastrophic consequences when denied, minimized, or ignored.
Just like not every demon is evil.
The phenomenon of human evil, if proven to be indigenous and exclusive to our species, can be conceived of as a kind of malignant cancer capable in the future of metastasizing to the farthest reaches of creation. Thus it is crucial for we human beings to better comprehend the psychology of evil. The more we are willing to study, confront, and acknowledge the phenomenon of human evil, doing our best to understand, mitigate and control it, the less likely we are to engage in evil directed toward aliens, be they human or extraterrestrial. It is only natural to hope that visiting aliens have transcended, outgrown or eliminated the evil tendencies with which we humans still so tragically struggle.
The more likely scenario is that, if extraterrestrials do indeed exist, they are, for better or worse, probably something like us: creatures inherently capable of both good and evil.

Ancient elongated alien skull 200 meters long under ocean at Baja California, UFO UAP sighting news
Screenshot above is todays map, screenshot below is from the history archive of google map of a few years ago.
Coordinates 24.250739,-110.154545
Hey 10,000 years ago (~8000 BCE) this skull was above the water, This was the late Stone Age in Mesoamerica. People were still hunter-gatherers, gradually beginning to cultivate early crops like maize, beans, and squash. A skull sculpture wasn’t just about death — it embodied the cycle of life, sacrifice, rebirth, and divine power. It reminded people that life was temporary, but through ritual, they could help keep the universe in balance.
They didn't create this for us, they did it as a reminder that it was their territory, their land, owned by them forever.
A respected congressman has claimed that advanced alien beings could be hiding out in 'five or six' underwater UFO bases right off the US coast.
Tennessee congressman Tim Burchett, a member of the House Oversight Committee overseeing UFO reports, drew massive attention on social media after saying that he believed there were alien 'entities' currently living in deep-water areas on Earth.
The September 17 clip posted on X has already been viewed more than 1.9 million times.
During the sidewalk interview with a UFO researcher and documentary filmmaker who goes by the pseudonym Red Panda Koala, Burchett suggested that advanced alien beings or civilizations may have been hiding in Earth's oceans for generations.
He added that there have been frequent sightings of unidentified craft around five or six specific deep-sea areas, which he found significant given how little is known about the ocean compared to the moon's surface.
The congressman also noted that US Navy personnel have reported chasing these underwater craft that move at extraordinary speeds and far surpass the abilities of current US military technology.
Despite these claims, no verifiable physical evidence, such as artifacts or clear footage of these underwater craft, has been publicly presented to confirm the existence of alien bases.
Skeptics have argued that the reliance on anecdotal reports from naval personnel and the lack of peer-reviewed scientific data casts significant doubt on the claims made during recent congressional hearings on UFO phenomena.

UFO researcher Dr Michael Salla said these bases are believed to be in a region of the Atlantic near the Bahamas
Following the explosive revelations, Dr Michael Salla, an author and researcher focused on extraterrestrial phenomena, revealed where it's believed these UFO bases may be, singling out a region of the Atlantic Ocean near the Bahamas.
He added that he's also spoken to credible whistleblowers, including senior military and executive branch officials, who confirm the existence of underwater bases and advanced craft.
Dr Salla highlighted that the US Navy operates a top-secret underwater facility he likened to Area 51 called AUTEC, which stands for the Atlantic Undersea Testing and Evaluation Center, right in this region of the Atlantic.
'Just to the right of it is Tongue of the Ocean, which is a very deep part of the ocean there in the Bahamas. It drops off immediately around 3,000 feet,' Salla said while appearing on the Redacted podcast on September 19.
'So that's ideal for a submarine, but it's also a place where people have seen many UFOs, many underwater craft coming into and leaving the water. So, there have been a lot of UFO sightings in that area,' he revealed.
The UFO researcher noted that he had interviewed two eyewitnesses who claimed that they had visited these secret bases, including one who was a US Army whistleblower who used the pseudonym 'JP.'
The whistleblower claimed he was on a mission where he was taken by a Blackhawk helicopter to an ocean platform, then boarded a high-tech submarine crewed by tall, Nordic-looking extraterrestrials.
The submarine, capable of space travel, took him to an underwater city under a dome, resembling Dubai, with a large white pyramid. The mission involved retrieving an artifact, but no physical evidence of this mission has ever been produced.
Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri recently revealed video of a US military drone striking an orb-shaped UFO with a missile, which bounced off and did not stop the craft
Despite Burchett and Salla's lack of tangible evidence, there has been growing interest and testimony from credible sources, including military personnel at congressional hearings, suggesting that UFOs and extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth.
A recent congressional hearing on September 9 featured new whistleblowers who shared their experiences with UFOs, including a video showing an orb-like object surviving a missile strike and splitting into four parts they kept flying.
'We have naval personnel telling me we have these sightings, these underwater craft they're chasing that go hundreds of miles an hour, and the best we got is something that does maybe a little under forty miles an hour,' Burchett said in the interview posted on X.

Buitenaardsen kunnen onze radiosignalen voor ruimtevaartuigcommunicatie onderscheppen
Buitenaardsen kunnen onze radiosignalen voor ruimtevaartuigcommunicatie onderscheppen
Inleiding
De mensheid zendt al tientallen decennia signalen uit in de ruimte, vooral via radiocommunicatie met ruimtevaartuigen en satellieten. De gedachte dat intelligente wezens anderszins onze boodschappen zouden kunnen onderscheppen is zowel fascinerend als onwennend: wat als onze technologische signalen op een dag door een buitenaardse civilisatie worden opgevangen, geïnterpreteerd en bestudeerd? Dit artikel onderzoekt wetenschappelijk wat het betekent dat “alienen” (aliens) mogelijk onze radiogolven kunnen onderscheppen voor ruimtescheepscommunicatie, welke natuurkundige en technologische principes hierachter schuilgaan, welke mogelijkheden en beperkingen bestaan, en welke ethische en beleidsmatige implicaties volgen.
Achtergrond: hoe radioverenigingen ruimtevaart en communicatie met elkaar verbonden zijn
Ruimtevaartuigen, waaronder satellieten en landers, communiceren via elektromagnetische signalen die meestal in radiofrequentiebanden worden uitgezonden. Deze signalen dienen verschillende doelen: telemetrie (toestand van het vaartuig), telecommando’s (besturing door de aarde), en wetenschappelijke data (metingen, beelden). De gebruikte frequenties worden afgestemd op doel en afstand, met inachtneming van wettelijke regels zoals de International Telecommunication Union (ITU) spectrumtoewijzingen en de Europese/andere nationale regelgevende lichamen. In de diepe ruimte kunnen signalen zelfs in ruisvolle omgevingen met enorme lichtjaren afstand nog worden gedetecteerd met grote radioantenneparken en geavanceerde signaalverwerkingsmethoden.
De hypothese van onderschepping door buitenaardse wezens draait om een fundamenteel principe: elke intelligente beschaving die radiogolven verzendt, maakt zich zichtbaar in het elektromagnetische spectrum. Onze eigen signalen zijn wereldwijd waarneembaar met voldoende gevoeligheid en tijd. In theorie kunnen buitenaardse luisterende civillaties die los van culturele motivaties geïnteresseerd zijn in ons technologische stadium, onze signalen oppikken en op de een of andere manier verwerken. De vraag is niet alleen of dit mogelijk is, maar ook of het waarschijnlijk is, gezien de afstanden, signaalverzwakking en mogelijke privacy- of veiligheidsconcerns.
Signalen van onze ruimteschepen en Marsrovers zouden onderschept kunnen worden door buitenaardse beschavingen.

Fysica van onderschepping: van signaalsterkte tot detectie
Een cruciale factor bij onderschepping is signaalsterkte op afstand. Het uitgangssignaal van een uitgerust ruimtevaartuig kan variëren tussen tientallen milliwatts tot enkele kilowatts, afhankelijk van missie, antennegrootte en modus. Naarmate het signaal zich voortplant door ruimte wordt het vierkant toegepast met afstand, en verzwakt het door atmosferische, interstellair-materie- en kosmische ruis, plus de efficiëntie van het ontvangende systeem. Voor een buitenaardse luisteraar die op miljoenen lichtjaren afstand zit, zouden onze signalen extreem zwak worden en hoogstwaarschijnlijk onder de ruis van kosmische achtergrondvallen. Toch kan een hypothetische geavanceerde beschaving met gigantische ontvangstantennes en geavanceerde signaalverwerkingsalgoritmen dergelijke signalen detecteren, of zelfs “lineariseren” door gebruik te maken van coherente detectie, matched filtering, en kunstmatige intelligentie.
Een relevante overweging is de soebereiding van de signalen zelf. Wij zenden in specifieke banden (bijv. de ruimtevaartbanden, de S- en X-banden, en mogelijk lagere frequenties voor langeafstandsatellieten). Deze banden worden gekozen om interfering noise te minimaliseren en om praktische antenneontwerpen mogelijk te maken. Een buitenaardse luisteraar die niet gebonden is aan menselijke regelgeving, zou kunnen letten op patronen in het spectrum die wijzen op kunstmatige origine, bijvoorbeeld regelmatige pulspatronen, modulatietechnieken of herhaalde sequenties die niet plausibel zijn als natuurlijke bronnen. Detectie kan verder worden vergroot door middel van disperse onderzoeksmethoden, zoals seriële signal search, afwijkingen in polarisatie en signaalmodulatie diep in de tijd.
In een nieuwe studie hebben wetenschappers van de Universiteit van Pennsylvania en het Jet Propulsion Laboratory van NASA menselijke communicatie in de diepe ruimte geanalyseerd en vastgesteld dat onze transmissies vaak gericht waren op onze eigen ruimteschepen op Mars, de Zon en andere hemellichamen. Omdat planeten zoals Mars het hele signaal niet blokkeren, zou buitenaardse intelligentie die zich langs het pad van interplanetaire communicatie bevindt – wanneer planeten vanuit hun perspectief zijn uitgelijnd – mogelijk signaallekkage kunnen detecteren.

Technische mogelijkheden en scenario’s van onderschepping
Simpele afluisteren: Een buitenaardse luisteraar die passief de ruimte observeert, kan bestaande radiobelten opvangen zonder terug te reageren. Deze scenario vereist geen snelle reactie of enorme signaalverwerking, maar veronderstelt wel dat de andere beschaving constant en langdurig uitzendt en dat hun ontvangstsysteem sterk genoeg is om de zwakke signalen te extraheren.
Geavanceerde afluistering en decodering: Een hypothetische beschaving met enorme ruimtelijke antennes en krachtige signaalverwerkingskrachten kan patronen herkennen, tijdreeksen analyseren en mogelijk communiceren met ons door terug te zenden of door te anticiperen op hun eigen wijze. Zij kunnen onze modulatietechnieken herkennen, en zelfs simulaties uitvoeren om te begrijpen wat de mensheid communiceert.
Directe communicatie-alisatie: In een extremere visie zou een buitenaardse beschaving proberen onze signalen te onderscheppen en actief te communiceren of zelfs te sturen. Dit scenario plaatst ons in een contactdilemma: hoe zouden wij reageren, en hoe zouden we onze communicatie beschermen tegen misbruik of misinterpretatie?
Radiogolven als stille témoen: Een andere mogelijkheid is dat buitenaardse luisteraars onze buitenaardse detectie in de vorm van technologische signatures signalen identificeren die duidelijk kunstmatig zijn, zoals consistent gemoduleerde patronen die wij als technologische artefacten interpreteren.
Ethiek, veiligheid en beleidsimplicaties
De mogelijkheid dat aliens onze radio-communicatie onderscheppen roept ethische en veiligheidsvragen op. Ten eerste, als buitenaardse wezens bestaan die in staat zijn ons te detecteren, moeten we overleggen over deontologie van semantisch zinvol contact. Moeten we openbare communicatie handhaven of voorzichtige, beperkte communicatie hanteren om misinterpretatie of economische of technologische voordeel te voorkomen?
Daarnaast bestaan er praktische overwegingen: het beschermen van gevoelige wetenschappelijke of technologische informatie die in deze signalen is geëtaleerd. Hoewel onze signalen niet bedoeld zijn als privé, kunnen we wel nadenken over het minimaliseren van potentieel schadelijke informatie leakage die buitenaardse luisteraars kunnen interpreteren als brug naar technologische superioriteit. Beleidsmatig liggen er vragen over internationale samenwerking, transparantie en de ontwikkeling van normen voor interstellair contact. Het is niet vanzelfsprekend dat de nationale veiligheids- of wetenschapsinstanties hier een eenduidig antwoord op hebben.
Impliceert onderschepping virale risico’s?
Het samenleven met een mogelijke buitenaardse luisteraar roept de bezorgdheid op dat mislukte interpretaties of verkeerde decodering serieuze gevolgen kunnen hebben. Als een buitenaardse beschaving interpreteert dat de mensheid agressief of vreedzaam is, kan dit leiden tot een gebrek aan vertrouwen of zelfs misbruik van misleidende signalen. Daarom is het van belang dat wetenschappers duidelijk communiceren over de aard van signalen en de beperkingen van menselijke interpretaties, en dat internationale samenwerking versterkt wordt om de risico’s te mitigeren.

Methoden om onze eigen communicatie te beschermen en te documenteren
Vergroten van robuuste signaalintegriteit: Door redundantie, foutcorrectie en encryptie-achtige beveiliging in ruimtesignalen te implementeren (waar mogelijk) kunnen we de interpretatie door een onbekende luisteraar bemoeilijken. Dit zou ook kunnen helpen bij het onderscheiden van kunstmatige versus natuurlijke bronnen.
Transparantie en dataverzameling:Het documenteren van alle detecties en analyses in open wetenschappelijke journals en internationale fora vergroot de reproducibiliteit en minimaliseert misverstanden over wat wel of niet waarneembaar is. Internationale protocollen kunnen helpen bij het harmoniseren van waarnemingsstrategieën.
Publieke wetenschappelijke educatie:Het vergroten van begrip over wat we zenden en hoe detectie werkt kan helpen bij het demystificeren van de kans dat buitenaardse wezens precies weten wat we bedoelen. Het bevordert verantwoorde publieke discussies over SETI, contact en ruimtebeleid.
Wetenschappelijke context: SETI, kosmische achtergrondruis en de Fermi-paradox
Het onderwerp van onderschepping past in de bredere context van Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Wetenschappers bestuderen of signalen van buitenaardse beschavingen zouden bestaan en hoe we ze kunnen detecteren. De aanwezigheid van technologische activiteit in het universum wordt vaak gedetecteerd door een combinatie van radiosignalen en spectrale lijnen die kunstmatige oorsprong suggereren. De Fermi-paradox, de vraag waarom we nog geen onmiskenbaar bewijs van buitenaards contact hebben gevonden, is relevant: het roept ons op om zowel de kans van detectie als de duur van de signalengebruik-stijging in kaart te brengen. Een mogelijk antwoord is dat signalen te zwak zijn, te kort duren, of dat beschavingen niet lang genoeg bestaan om ons bereiken. Een andere mogelijkheid is dat beschavingen hun signalen bewust paderen of vervangen door niet-radiogebonden wijzen van communicatie.
Concluderende reflectie
Het idee dat aliens onze radiogolven kunnen onderscheppen voor ruimtescheepscommunicatie blijft een mix van wetenschappelijke plausibiliteit en speculatie. De huidige fysica en technologie suggereren dat onderschepping mogelijk is in principe, maar dat de praktische kans dat een buitenaardse beschaving onze signalen detecteert en interesse toont afhankelijk is van enorme afstanden, signaalverzwakking, en de technologische capaciteiten van de luisteraar. Desondanks is het onderwerp waardevol voor de wetenschappelijke dialoog over hoe we communiceren in een ruimtelijke context en welke veiligheids- en ethische overwegingen hierbij horen.
Voor de toekomst betekent dit dat we onderzoek moeten blijven investeren in de detectiekunde, signaalverwerkingsmethoden, en internationale samenwerking. Het ontwikkelen van normen en protocollen rond interstellair contact, transparante communicatie, en bescherming tegen misinterpretatie kan ons helpen voorbereid te zijn op mogelijke toekomstige scenario’s. Terwijl de vraag “Zouden aliens onze signalen kunnen onderscheppen?” hoog in het veld van speculatie blijft, biedt de wetenschappelijke uitleg erachter een solide basis om kritisch en verantwoordelijk na te denken over hoe de mensheid haar boodschap naar de kosmos uitstuurt en hoe we moeten omgaan met de mogelijke ontvangst van geluiden uit de ruimte.
Samenvatting
Radiocommunicatie met ruimtevaartuigen is gericht op telemetrie, commando’s en wetenschappelijke data, en vindt plaats in gefrequenteerde banden met regelgeving.
De mogelijkheid dat buitenaardse luisteraars onze signalen onderscheppen hangt af van afstand, signaalsterkte, en capaciteiten van de ontvanger.
Zowel eenvoudige asociale afluistering als geavanceerde decodering zijn theoretische scenario’s die uitdagingen en kansen bieden voor wetenschappelijke benadering.
Ethische, veiligheids- en beleidsvragen rondom mogelijk contact vereisen internationale samenwerking en duidelijke normen.
SETI en gerelateerde wetenschappen bieden een kader om deze ideeën te plaatsen binnen de grotere zoektocht naar buitenaardse intelligentie, met aandacht voor Fermi-paradox en de realistische beperkingen van detectie en interpretatie.

Aliens may intercept our radio signals for spacecraft communications
Aliens may intercept our radio signals for spacecraft communications
Every time NASA engineers send a command to a Mars rover or interplanetary spacecraft, they simultaneously send a message into deep space. Powerful radio signals directed at neighboring planets are only partially absorbed by the target. The other part continues its journey through space-time, spreading out almost infinitely. This “leak” of information, previously considered a side effect, is now seen as a potential beacon for extraterrestrial civilizations.
Signals from our spacecraft and Mars rovers could be intercepted by extraterrestrial civilizations. Illustration generated by AI, ChatGPT
New research by scientists at Pennsylvania State University and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory offers an interesting hypothesis. Scientists analyzed data from the Deep Space Network (DSN) over the past 20 years. They concluded that an alien intelligence located at a specific point in space could easily intercept our transmissions. The key is that all the planets in the Solar System rotate in roughly the same plane — the ecliptic.
As astronomer Pinchen Fan explains, if an observer is located at the edge of this plane at a distance of about 23 light-years, their chances of entering the radio shadow of our signals to Mars or other planets increase dramatically. Calculations show that the probability of such a coincidence reaches 77%, which is orders of magnitude higher than random detection.
Mirror search
In a new study, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory analyzed human communications in deep space and found that our transmissions were often directed at our own spacecraft on Mars, the Sun, and other celestial bodies. Since planets such as Mars do not block the entire signal, extraterrestrial intelligence located along the path of interplanetary communications — when planets are aligned from their perspective — could potentially detect signal leakage.

The same idea can be applied to the search for extraterrestrial life. Assuming that other technologically advanced civilizations are also exploring planets in their systems, we can point our telescopes at similar “hot spots.” The most promising exoplanetary systems will be those where, from our perspective, two or more planets periodically line up in a row — transiting in front of their star. From such positions, their potential DSN could transmit signals in our direction.
However, as Fan notes, we are only at the beginning of this journey. At present, only a few systems with multiple transit planets are known. However, future space missions, such as the launch of the Nancy Grace telescope, promise to revolutionize space exploration. This telescope is expected to discover hundreds of thousands of new exoplanets, significantly expanding our map of potential “listening zones.” v

Wat als het geen buitenaardse wezens zijn? Wat anders erachter het UFO-mysterie kan zitten
Wat als het geen buitenaardse wezens zijn? Wat anders erachter het UFO-mysterie kan zitten
Wanneer mensen spreken over UFO’s, denken velen onmiddellijk aan buitenaardse bezoekers uit verre melkwegstelsels. De beelden van schijnbaar onverklaarbare lichtbollen, snelle figuren die door de lucht schieten of ongewone vormelijke forenzen aan de horizon blijven hangen, roepen een verhaal op waarin het onbekende buitengewoon fascinerend lijkt. Toch is het de moeite waard om het verhaal vanuit meerdere hoeken te bekijken. Wat als de ware verklaring voor veel waarnemingen niet buitenaards is, maar voortkomt uit menselijke technologie, natuurlijke verschijnselen, psychologische processen of gewoon misinterpretatie? Dit artikel onderzoekt verschillende mogelijke alternatieve verklaringen achter het UFO-mysterie en laat zien waarom sommige waarnemingen uiteindelijk niet hoeven te leiden tot de conclusie van buitenissige visitaties.
1. Misidentificaties en perceptuele fouten
Een van de grootste factoren achter de UFO-waarnemingen is simpelweg menselijke misidentificatie. Onze zintuigen zijn niet feilloos, vooral wanneer we onder druk staan, in het donker kijken of een snelle beweging proberen te volgen. Een door de zon verlicht uitziende satelliet kan bijvoorbeeld worden gezien als een vreemd object, net als een verlichte drone die onverwacht reflecteert in het glas van een ruit of het geblauwde spoor van een vliegtuig met contrail. In drukke luchtruimten kunnen weersomstandigheden zoals wolkenranden, silhouetten van bomen of gebouwen en de combinatie van snelle bewegingen met beperkte referentiepunten leiden tot interpretatiefouten. Het is ook belangrijk te erkennen dat mensen vaak op zoek gaan naar patronen en betekenis, zelfs als die er niet is. In de psychologische literatuur wordt dit fenomeen wel aangeduid als pareidolie: het herkennen van bekende vormen in dat wat ogenschijnlijk willekeurig is.
2. Natuurlijke verschijnselen die onverklaarbaar mooi lijken
De geschiedenis laat zien dat veel UFO’s uiteindelijk worden herkend als natuurlijke fenomenen wanneer men uitgebreid onderzoekt. Zeldzame atmosferische optische verschijnselen zoals pilaren van licht, opraamlucht, halo-boogvorming, fogs of iriserende parels kunnen op een verkeerde manier worden geïnterpreteerd als vreemde objecten. Ook lenticolored refractions door ijskristallen kunnen vreemd aanvoelen wanneer ze op onverwachte manieren bewegen of veranderen van helderheid. Comotie rondom lentikulair wolkenvormen of brokstukken van brandend meteoren die kortstondig zichtbaar zijn, kunnen lijken op vliegende schotels of onbekende luchtvaartuigen, terwijl ze simpelweg natuurlijke fenomenen zijn.
3. Menselijke technologie en geheime projecten
Een plausibele en vaak onderschatte verklaring is dat sommige UFO-waarnemingen het gevolg zijn van geheime militaire of ruimtevaartprojecten. Drones, testballonnen, experimentele vliegtuigen, en zelfs satelliettechnologie die nog niet openbaar bekend is, kunnen objecten creëren die door burgers als onverklaarbaar worden ervaren. In de Koude Oorlog-tijd waren er tal van beschuldigingen en geruchten over obscure vliegtuigen die later als prototypes of afgeschermde projecten werden bevestigd. Zelfs vandaag kunnen stealth-technologie en hypersonische programma’s aan de basis liggen van waarnemingen die later “onverklaard” lijken totdat meer officiële informatie beschikbaar komt. Het feit dat sommige regeringen bewust informatie beheren en beperken kan bijdragen aan het mysteriegevoel: het ontbreken van transparantie voedt speculatie.
4. Satellieten, ruimteafval en technologische pareidolie
In een tijdperk waarin ruimtevaart en satellietcommunicatie wijdverspreid zijn, is het logisch dat veel UFO-waarnemingen te maken hebben met ruimteafval en satellieten die op verschillende manieren reflecteren. Een maanverlichte satelliet die voorbij schiet kan in een oogopslag frenetic lijken en verschillende vormen aannemen afhankelijk van hoeken en luchtdichtheid. Veranderende invallingshoek van zonlicht kan ook leiden tot abrupte helderheidsveranderingen en bewegingen die als onregelmatig of zelfs buitenaards lijken. Daarnaast kan de aanwezigheid van luchtvaartjes en draden die in het zicht komen bij snelle transits van vliegtuigen bijdragen aan het beeld van een onverklaard object.
5. Dak- en hemelprocedures:
hoaxes, misleiding en sociale media De hedendaagse digitale cultuur heeft het makkelijker gemaakt om misleiding te verspreiden. Hoax-video’s en misleidende beelden kunnen door sociale media snel viral gaan, waardoor mensen denken dat ze een werkelijk niet-herleidbaar fenomeen hebben gezien. In sommige gevallen zijn de personen die de video’s produceren bewuste grappenmakers; in andere gevallen ontstaan misinterpretaties en delen mensen de clip zonder volledig begrip van wat de camera heeft vastgelegd. Sociale druk en de wens om een “grandioze ontdekking” te doen kunnen ook leiden tot overdreven of geneutraliseerde beschrijvingen van schijnbaar onverklaarbare verschijnselen.
6. Cognitieve biases en journalistieke misvattingen
Onze interpretatie van wat we zien is ook gekleurd door bekende biases. Confirmation bias – de neiging om informatie te zoeken die onze bestaande overtuigingen bevestigt – speelt een grote rol. Als iemand gelooft dat er buitenaards leven bestaat, zullen waarnemingen die in de buurt komen van zo’n idee sneller als bewijs gezien worden. Evenredige reflectie van onzekerheid in rapportages is cruciaal, omdat sommige getuigen niet de volledige context kunnen geven: waar precies zagen ze het object, hoelang duurde de waarneming, welke referentiepunten waren er en welke andere elementen speelden een rol in de waarneming? Teleurstelling of angst kan ook de verslaggeving beïnvloeden; mensen proberen vaak een verhaal te construeren uit fragmenten van informatie die ze waarnemen.
7. Alternatieve perspectieven vanuit de wetenschap
Er is een dagelijkse realiteit waar wetenschap en technologische vooruitgang een grote rol spelen in wat we als “niet-verklaard” beschouwen. In de astronomie en meteorologie zijn er natuurkundig uitlegbare fenomenen die onder bepaalde omstandigheden op “onverklaarmakend” lijken. Een voorbeeld zijn het覰 tori van plasma of luminiscentie die door stralingsvelden in de atmosfeer kunnen worden gevormd, of de manier waarop bliksem of andere elektrische fenomenen het vlak van de hemel beïnvloeden. Onderzoekers kunnen theoretische modellen ontwikkelen die deze verschijnselen voorspellen, waardoor de behoefte aan extraterrestrische verklaringen afneemt. Een open houding ten aanzien van de wetenschap is essentieel; sommige nep-waarheden ontstaan wanneer mensen vasthouden aan het idee van het onbekende zonder de mogelijkheid van een natuurlijke verklaring te overwegen.
8. De sociologie van het UFO-mysterie
Naast individuele waarnemingen heeft het UFO-mysterie ook een rijke sociologische kant. Het blijft een cultureel fenomeen omdat mensen er betekenis aan ontlenen: het idee van het onbekende dat mogelijk de menselijke achterdeur van kennis opent. Verhalen over buitenaards contact zijn vaak geladen met thema’s zoals ethiek, macht, technologie, oordeelsvermogen en de angst voor vernietiging of verlies. Het vertellen van dit soort verhalen fungeert soms als een manier om onzekerheid te beheersen of gemeenschapsgevoel te versterken. In deze zin is het niet slechts een wetenschappelijke puzzel maar ook een sociaal en psychologisch fenomeen.
9. Wat betekent dit voor waarheidsvinding en beleid?
Het onderzoeken van UFO’s vereist een zorgvuldige afweging van al deze mogelijkheden. Voor onderzoekers betekent dit een systematische aanpak: het verzamelen van getuigenissen met specifieke vragen, het verifiëren van beelden via fotometrie en bewegingsanalyse, en het uitsluiten van vaak voorkomende misinterpretaties door onafhankelijke peer review en replicatie. Voor beleidsmakers en defensie kan het betekenen dat transparantie en duidelijke communicatie met het publiek cruciaal zijn om angst en speculatie te verminderen. Het stimuleren van samenwerking met civiele onderzoekers en academische instellingen kan bijdragen aan een genuanceerd begrip van het luchtruim en de factoren die waarnemingen beïnvloeden.
10. Welke lessen kunnen leken trekken?
- Waarnemingen zijn zelden “simpel”: de context is cruciaal. Vraag naar tijd, locatie, hoogte, richting en beweging.
- Vergelijk wat je zag met bekende fenomenen. Vaak zijn er natuurlijke of menselijke verklaringen die niet meteen voor de hand liggen.
- Wees kritisch ten aanzien van beelden en bronnen. Een clip kan zonder geluid of met beperkte metadata misleidend zijn.
- Durf twijfel te benoemen. Een open houding ten opzichte van alternatieve verklaringen versterkt de geloofwaardigheid en bevordert een betere begrip.
Een evenwichtige conclusie
Het UFO-mysterie is geen eenduidig vraagstuk met één vaste oplossing. Het is eerder een kruispunt van verschillende mogelijke verklaringen: van misidentificaties en natuurlijke verschijnselen tot geheime technologische projecten en psychologische processen die de interpretatie kleuren. Dit maakt het onderzoek zowel complex als waardevol. Door een brede blik te hanteren en telkens de basale wetenschappelijke methode toe te passen, kan men gerichter nagaan welke factoren het meest plausibel zijn voor een bepaalde waarneming. In sommige gevallen zal de ware oorzaak gemakkelijk herkenbaar zijn als een bekend verschijnsel; in andere gevallen zal het mysterie onverminderd bestaan. Wat zeker is, is dat het vertellen van een verhaal zonder voorzichtigheid en zonder bewijs niet dezelfde waarde heeft als een zorgvuldig, gelaagd onderzoek.
Een van de meest aansprekende aspecten van dit onderwerp is hoe menselijke perceptie en mentale bias een rol spelen. Een ooggetuige kan een lichte beweging, een vertekende interpretatie door beperkte omstandigheden, of een toevallige combinatie van factoren beschrijven als iets buitengewoons. De kracht van het verhaal ligt dan niet in de objectieve waarheid van de waarneming, maar in de manier waarop herinnering en verbeelding erbij betrokken raken. Daarom is het cruciaal om de context van elke melding te scheiden van de interpretatie die erdoor wordt gevormd. Analyse van verlichting, wegligging, weersomstandigheden, hemellichamen en satellietposities kan tal van misverstanden afvlechten. Een zorgvuldige verslaglegging vereist dan ook concrete data: tijd, locatie, classificatie van objecten, helderheid, hoogte en snelheid. Zonder zulke details blijft een waarneming vatbaar voor akoestische of visuele ruis en kan elk verhaal uiteen vallen in uiteenlopende, soms tegenstrijdige reconstructies.
Daarnaast kan men niet voorbijgaan aan het belang van transparantie en replicatie in elk onderzoek. Wanneer onderzoekers waarnemingen op de kaart zetten, moeten ze niet alleen hun conclusie tonen, maar ook de route ernaartoe: welke alternatieve verklaringen zijn overwogen, welke data zijn uitgesloten, en welke methodes zijn toegepast om tot de eindconclusie te komen. Het is pas wanneer bevindingen herhaalbaar en onafhankelijk toetsbaar zijn, dat het gewicht van een verklaring toeneemt. Dit is een van de hoekstenen van wetenschap: dat elke claim onderworpen kan worden aan toetsing door anderen, die dezelfde of vergelijkbare data onder hetzelfde requirese proces onderzoeken.
Tot op zekere hoogte dragen publieke belangstelling en media-aandacht bij aan het debat door nieuwsgierigheid te stimuleren en expertise uit verschillende disciplines te verbinden: astronomie, atmospherische wetenschap, ruimtevaarttechniek, statistiek en cognitieve psychologie. Een interdisciplinair debat biedt de mogelijkheid om grenzen te verleggen en minder vooringenomen conclusies te trekken. Toch kan overdaad aan media-aandacht ook leiden tot overgeneralisering en sensationele, vooringenomen rapportage. Daarom is het essentieel dat journalisten, analisten en wetenschappers samenwerken aan heldere, onderbouwde verslaggeving die zowel het vermoeden als het bewijs presenteert, zonder sensatie te verheffen tot feit.
Tot slot: blijft het wonder behouden, maar laat het ook groeien door kritisch denken
Het idee dat sommige waarnemingen mogelijk buitenaards zijn zal altijd genoeg fascinerend blijven om onze verbeelding te prikkelen. Maar het vergroten van de waarheid vereist dat we onszelf en elkaar blijven uitdagen met alternatieve verklaringen en solide bewijs. Door nieuwsgierigheid te combineren met scepsis kunnen we het UFO-debat niet alleen spannend houden maar ook productiever maken. De komende decennia kunnen we wellicht meer antwoorden krijgen naarmate technologieën zich verbeteren, data toegankelijker wordt en internationale samenwerking toegenomen. Tot die tijd blijft het mysterie van UFO’s een uitnodiging om de grenzen van wat we weten en wat we nog niet begrijpen te verkennen — met een open geest en een kritisch oog. En wie weet, misschien ontdekken we uiteindelijk dat wat we ooit als “ongeïdentificeerd” beschouwden, slechts een ingewikkeld hoofdstuk was in het grotere verhaal van de menselijke nieuwsgierigheid.
De VZ-9 Avrocar n een geheim vliegtuig uit de jaren 60, dat op een vliegende schotel leek
Het is een proces dat voorzichtigheid vereist, maar ook vol hoop mag zijn. We kunnen leren van wat bekend is, en tegelijk openstaan voor wat nog onderzocht dient te worden. Door elk mogelijk scenario met integriteit te benaderen, dragen we bij aan een verstandige, genuanceerde aanpak van het onbekende. Zo wordt het UFO-onderwerp geen sensationalistische saga, maar een continu onderzoek naar waar onze conclusies eindigen en onze vragen beginnen. In die zin blijft het mysterie een motor voor wetenschap, verbeelding en bescheidenheid tegelijk.

What If They’re Not Aliens? What Else Could be Behind the UFO Mystery?
What If They’re Not Aliens? What Else Could be Behind the UFO Mystery?
The chances are, when someone mentions UFOs, most people, both inside and outside the UFO community, will automatically think of aliens – visitors of an extraterrestrial nature or origin from another planet elsewhere in the universe. However, more and more researchers are concluding that there could be many other explanations for these strange aerial anomalies other than extraterrestrial visitors, with some even suggesting that at least some of these other suggestions are not only plausible, but perhaps more likely.
If we completely remove extraterrestrials from the equation for a moment, then arguably the most likely scenario would be that UFOs are highly advanced, secretive military aircraft. We know, for example, that militaries around the world have various reconnaissance aircraft, and despite what is made public, it is also widely agreed that they are likely decades ahead behind closed doors. In fact, having the public believe they are seeing vehicles from another world is a great way of covering what they, potentially, are testing. It is worth highlighting the suggestions of the former CEO of Lockheed Skunkworks, Ben Rich, who stated quite bluntly that “we have the technology to take ET home!” He continued that “anything you can imagine, we already have the technology to do, but these technologies are locked up in black budget projects. It would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity!”
These statements are interesting for several reasons. Not only is Rich stating that advanced technology is available in military circles, but that aliens might already be here if we can “take them home!”
It is also worth noting some of the comments of former President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, particularly his thoughts in his 2009 book The Reagan Diaries. In an entry from April 1985, for example, he wrote that he had “lunch with five top scientists” during which he was informed that “some of the developments are like science fiction, except they are real!” He then stated that he learned that “our shuttle capacity is such that we could orbit 300 people!” Given that space shuttles the time could only carry passengers in single figures it is interesting to contemplate exactly what Reagan meant in this entry. Is this further proof that the United States military was (and is) much advanced in terms of technology than most of us might think?
Of course, we might contemplate where this technology came from. Whie many people suggest that these crafts are the result from reverser engineering of the craft recovered from the Roswell crash, the origins could go back further than many people think, and very well could have been transplanted to the United States following the Second World War under the cover of Operation Paperclip, that saw multiple top Third Reich engineers and scientists taken to the United States to continue their work (already highly advanced) for America and the West. Perhaps the most famous of these Third Reich scientists was Wernher Von Braun, who, essentially, guided NASA to the Moon.
Here, it is worth briefly exploring the Haunebu program of the Third Reich, which was a disc or saucer-shaped craft that began as far back as the mid-1930s, and utilized electromagnetic fields and anti-gravity technologies as a means of propulsion. This craft was approximately 25 feet across and could carry eight people. Although it isn’t confirmed, some researchers have stated that the Haunebu disc could reach speeds of 3000 miles per hour, with these speeds increasing, according to some, to over 10,000 miles per hour within a decade, although it could only move at relatively low altitude.
We might ask if this technology was the result of human ingenuity or whether there was some kind of assistance from elsewhere. With this in mind, it is very much worth our time exploring an account from Ken Hudnall in the book The Occult Connection: Unidentified Flying Objects. In it, Hudnall puts forward that a craft of unknown origin crashed in the Black Forest in Germany at some point in 1936. This craft was quickly recovered by SS troops and then transported to Wewelsburg Castle, the main headquarters of the Third Reich. From there German scientists and engineers began attempts to reverse engineer the craft, not only for their own technological ends, but also for any potential weaponry they could unleash in the impending war that they were already preparing for. Given how far ahead the German military was by the end of the 1930s, we might question if this alleged crashed UFO account is true, as well as whether the Third Reich did indeed manage to utilize this otherworldly technology. Hudnall highlights, for example, that the German military had a total of 57 submarines as the Second World War began. During the course of the conflict, however, they had no less than 1163 submarines, and these subaquatic vessels were among the most advanced on the planet.
It is also worth examining the British and American war files, which contain several intriguing details that are surprisingly similar to each other. During bombing missions over Germany, for example, there are reports of “flying apparatuses resembling British military helmets”. Moreover, several pilots opened fire on these strange objects, but despite being on target, they failed to cause any damage whatsoever. During a bombing mission over Schweinfurt, Major R. Holmes of the British Air Force reported seeing several “big bright discs” which he fired at. Like other pilots, he noted how his rounds failed to cause any damage to the strange aerial objects.
Were these reports simply misidentified craft or other aerial anomalies? Or might we consider, given the familiarity with aviation that military pilots clearly would have had, that the Third Reich did manage to reverse engineer the object that crash-landed in the Black Forest? Or could it be that this potential alien technology came from another downed object three years previously, which, according to several researchers, fell into the hands of their Second World War allies, the Italians?
According to the reports, during the summer of 1933 in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, a strange and mysterious object sped across the sky before crashing to the ground. Mussolini’s regime recovered the object and immediately established Cabinet RS/33 – a top-secret department that was tasked with reverse-engineering the crippled craft. One thing worth mentioning here is the advancement of the Italian Air Force, seemingly overnight, from the early 1930s to the Second World War era. Writing in the book UFO Contact in Itay: Volume Two, Roberto Pinotti stated:
“…just before the Second World War, the Italians were able to produce the prototype of the first jet airplane in history (the Campini Caproni 1). But we also know that the aviation industry in Italy was the last in Western Europe at the end of WW1. So the question is: can it be that the study of the UFO stored in hangars near Milano gave the Italians the needed technology?...”
Could it be, as speculative as it is, that this sudden advancement in Italian aviation could have been a result of reverse-engineered technology? Even more intriguing, we see this sudden advancement of aviation technology continue after the war in the United States, perhaps as a result of Operation Paperclip, or perhaps, as some researchers insist, because the downed UFO from Italy in 1933 was recovered by the American military at the end of the war and discreetly transported back to the United States. Moreover, according to documents that have come to light in the decades after the war, it appears that there was a secret project involving both the German and Italian regimes during the late 1930s and into the war years. Could this project have involved recovered extraterrestrial technology?
There is, of course, another possibility: that this technology didn’t come from elsewhere in the universe, but from right here on Earth, from the distant past. As strange as it might sound, various governments and intelligence agencies around the world have shown interest in ancient sites and relics, and this is especially the case with the Third Reich, and the reason, according to some, was to recover advanced technology from antiquity. The Third Reich spent considerable time, money, and effort searching for all manner of ancient relics, including alleged Biblical artifacts. They also showed a particular interest in the ancient civilizations of the Indus Valley. Given their aerial advancements, we might consider whether they recovered technology or blueprints of Vimanas, alleged ancient flying machines from thousands of years ago. We will explore Vimanas and how they might fit into all of this a little later. For now, though, we will turn our attention to another possibility to explain UFOs – mind control experiments.
Although many people believe it is the stuff of science fiction only, the fact is, mind control is very real. Moreover, rather than simply making people “act like a chicken” as most typical hypnotists can do, the realities of mind control are a lot darker. Of concern to us here, some researchers have put forward that at least some UFO sightings and even cases of alien abduction are, essentially, continuations of government mind control experiments, specifically, in-the-field testing of the infamous MK Ultra program, which used a combination of mind-altering drugs and implanted screen memories. Arguably one of the most thought-provoking of these is one of the first documented cases of alien abduction of the modern UFO era, that of Antonio Villas Boas.
According to the account, on the evening of October 16th, 1957, in the São Francisco de Sales region of Brazil, 23-year-old farmer Antonio Villas Boas was working late on his land. Out of nowhere, he suddenly noticed an object that he described as looking like a “red star” in the night sky. This strange object, however, was moving. Of more concern to Boas, it was heading in his direction. Within moments, he could see that the “star” was, in fact, an oval-shaped object with a rotating top. He stood watching the craft as it landed close by, resting on three small legs.
After watching the object for a moment, Boas felt a sudden surge of fear and turned to get on his tractor in an attempt to flee. However, to his despair, the tractor’s engine simply wouldn’t start. He tried several more times before jumping back off the tractor in an attempt to run away. Then, he felt a hand grab his shoulder, and he turned to see a strange humanoid behind him. Moments later, several more humanoids appeared and surrounded him before dragging him towards the landed object.
Once inside, Boas was immediately stripped of his clothes before his entire body was covered with a strange gel-like substance. Following this, he was taken into another room where he recalled seeing strange red symbols on circular walls. In this room, the humanoids took blood samples from him before moving him into a different room where he was left alone. Moments later, a strange gas filled the room, which made Boas feel immediately sick. After several minutes, the gas dissipated, and another humanoid entered the room. This one was female, with Boas describing her as “Asian-looking” and decidedly different from the others. Here is where the encounter took a bizarre turn.
According to Boas, he and the female humanoid had sex, with the female humanoid pointing to her torso afterward, as if to say she was pregnant, and that the child would be born on another world. Following this, Boas was given back his clothes. After he dressed, he was led back through the ship the way he had come. As he was led through the craft, he attempted to take a nearby device to have proof of the encounter, but one of the humanoids prevented him from doing so. Then, the next thing Boas realized, he was standing outside the craft. He watched as it ascended high into the sky, eventually becoming the tiny “red star” before disappearing completely.
Needless to say, Boas was left extremely shaken by the ordeal and he quickly returned home. To begin with, he opted not to talk of the encounter for fear of ridicule. However, as the days and weeks went by, he began to feel apparent side-effects of the incident. He suffered with random bouts of intense nausea, for example, as well as intense headaches, and even noticed strange bruises appear on his body. As this was happening, he happened to see an advertisement about a journalist, Jose Martins, who was looking to speak with people who had encounters with UFOs. Boas contacted Martins, and he, along with several other investigators, agreed to investigate the case. One person involved in the investigation was Dr. Olavo Fontes, a medical doctor who agreed to examine Boas. Upon doing so, he concluded that he had indeed been exposed to a large amount of radiation.
Several months after the incident, in February 1958, a report of Boas’ encounter appeared in a Brazilian newspaper. As we might imagine, there were many people who found it hard to accept Boas’s account, although it is also worth noting that he never once changed his version of events right up until his death in 1991. As the twentieth century handed off to the 2000s, new information on the incident came to light – information that suggests the alien encounter of Boas might not have been all that it seemed.
Writing in the book Top Secret Alien Abduction Files: What the Government Doesn’t Want You to Know, Nick Redfern relayed information that came from investigator Bosco Nedelcovic (who had a background with the CIA, the Department of Defense, and the United States Agency for International Development through another researcher, Rich Reynolds. What is interesting, and a notch on the credibility post of the case, was that records do show that Nedelcovic was indeed working for the United States Agency for International Development in Brazil at the time of the Boas encounter, and the information that he passed over was remarkable, to say the least.
He claimed that the alien abduction of Boas was, in fact, an orchestrated operation involving multiple different United States intelligence agencies, which included assistance from the United States Agency for International Development. Ultimately, the reason for this operation was to observe the manipulation of the human mind through a combination of props, mind-altering drugs and other substances. It was, as we observed earlier, an in-the-field operation of the MK Ultra program.
Nedelcovic claimed that on the night in question, the object that Boas witnessed was actually an unmarked black helicopter, which sprayed the area with chemicals as it approached, which drastically altered his perception, as well as incapacitating him somewhat so he couldn’t simply run. The crew of the helicopter, who now appeared like humanoid entities to Boas, dragged him on board the helicopter, where further mind-altering drugs were administered, further altering his sense of reality. Upon arriving at an unknown location, he was placed in different rooms, which were designed to make him believe he was inside a UFO. Moreover, the female entity with whom Boas claimed to have had sex with was, in fact, a “prostitute of Asian origin!” Following this, he was given more chemicals and then taken back to his field. Although he claimed to have seen the UFO take off high into the sky, it is most likely that what he saw was the unmarked black helicopter.
While it isn’t clear just how it was achieved to make Boas believe he had seen a UFO and interacted with several alien creatures, the fact is, the account perhaps has much more credibility than we might think. It is known, for example, that the CIA regularly used such mind-altering drugs as LSD to severely distort a person’s sense of reality, and they regularly employed local prostitutes, mostly to place potential targets into compromising situations. Moreover, we know the MK Ultra mind control programs did happen, so it is not that much of a leap to think that the information offered by Nedelcovic is very accurate. Not only would this allow intelligence agencies the chance to test how much a person’s mind can be manipulated, but it also contributes to the widespread skepticism that many people automatically feel when discussing UFO and alien encounters. This case, though, might not be the only one.
Just over a decade later, in the spring of 1970 in Hokkaido, Japan, we find the bizarre encounter of “Jean”. Jean’s experiences actually began several years earlier in 1967, while he was traveling in Jerusalem. During this trip, Jean claimed to have been “possessed by an entity of a Yahweh-type” force. Although he was still very much himself, he stated that following this, he was not fully in control of his decisions. In fact, over the next few years, Jean traveled to various destinations around the world, always at the instructions of this strange, possessing entity. By early 1970, he had arrived in Japan, making his way to a remote location in Hokkaido.
Once there, he would travel to a local mountain each day, after he was told that he would have a “rendezvous with his brother, his homolog of the other cycle of terrestrial life!” After around a week of doing this, a strange, shiny metallic object shaped like an “upright cigar” with “four motors” on each side landed close to where he was waiting. Following this, a doorway opened in the craft and a metal staircase extended to the ground. Although he wasn’t told to do so, he knew that he was supposed to get on the craft, which he duly did. As soon as he stepped inside, he could feel the floor move under his feet (he eventually learned that the object was comprised of “living but not thinking matter”).
As he made his way inside the craft, he was instructed to lie on a bed so that he could receive an “intravenous injection” that would protect him from the radiation. After he lay down, a needle-type device emerged from the wall and injected a “rosy liquid” into his arm. Moments later, three nine-foot-tall entities entered the room. Each of these entities wore “close-fitting suits, and each had green, yellow, and red-colored skin. Perhaps most bizarre, every now and then, he could see sparks fly from the humanoids' eyes, one of which landed on his arm. As soon as it touched him, his emotions changed from fear to ultra-confidence.
Then, things turned even stranger. The three entities introduced themselves as Irwin Ludwang, and, bizarrely, Jesus and Moses, stating they were over 7,000 years old. They then endowed Jean with “five divine powers before instructing Jean to leave the craft and await further instructions, which he duly did (although little information on what happened next is available).
It is perhaps not surprising that many people had difficulty accepting the account as credible. However, might we consider that during his trip to Jerusalem, Jean was not possessed but placed under some form of mind control by one intelligence agency or another that allowed for a slow release of information? While it is perhaps unlikely, it is certainly not beyond the realm of possibility.
Could it be that many other UFO encounters and cases of alien abduction are continued operations of the MK Ultra program? Could it be, for example, that at least some of those people who have claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials actually have been kidnapped and experimented on by discreet and secretive military intelligence agencies? In fact, the notion of alien abduction could be as much a part of the experiments as the experiments themselves. Of course, if this were true, then we would need to ask just what the end goal of such experiments might be.
If we turn our attention to some of the better-known UFO incidents, we might ask if these were sightings of top-secret military aircraft, and if this is true, given that militaries around the world have ample open spaces to conduct such flights in secrecy, we might also have to ask if such sightings are purposeful on the part of the military, perhaps to gauge reactions or even to implant a false narrative. Many researchers, for example, state that the aerial vehicles witnessed during the Belgian Wave were, in fact, highly advanced military vehicles. Could other multi-witness sightings, such as the Phoenix Lights, also have been military aircraft? Or perhaps the sightings witnessed by hundreds of people during the Hudson Valley wave of sightings during the 1980s.
With all of this in mind, we might ask if the recent “admissions” from the Pentagon regarding the released UFO gun-cam footage is simply to put a buffer between the public and the (speculative) reality of the MK Ultra program and top-secret advanced military vehicles.
There are also other intriguing details for us to examine regarding connections between mind control and UFO encounters and alien abductions. Perhaps one detail that particularly stands out, for example, is the consumption of strange drinks, often clear liquids, that abductees are instructed to drink, often “for their own good,” so that they do not recall their encounters. Could this be, though, part of some kind of aid to wipe an abductee’s memory, or even to plant false memories?
There are occasions, however, where these false memories seemingly break down, often with the use of hypnotic regression, but sometimes just due to the passing of time. One particularly interesting encounter saw a witness’s memory of standing in front of “spacecraft” with “alien entities” at each side of them suddenly change to a memory of them standing in front of a large military-style truck with the aliens becoming strange men in dark suits. Yet another encounter saw a witness’s memory of a brightly lit, futurist room – that they presumed was inside a spaceship suddenly morph into them standing in a barely furnished warehouse.
One researcher whose research suggests that mind-control techniques are more than prevalent in alien abduction encounters is Richard Sauder, who highlighted several details in his book Hidden In Plain Sight: Beyond X-Files. He stated that, as well as such details as clear drinks that possibly block memories, there is also the detail of these alien entities having almond-shaped black eyes. Sauder offered that these “eyes” likely aid in inducing trance-like states in those who happen to look into them.
There is also the detail of abductees hearing strange “whirring or humming” sounds. It is known, for example, that repetitive noise and sounds can aid in inducing hypnotic states. It is interesting to note that while many reports from people who have witnessed UFOs state these respective objects moving in complete silence, there are equally as many reports that offer witnesses hearing a strange humming sound just before these otherworldly vehicles appear or just after they have left. Could it be that these strange, often low-pitched noises are intended to put respective witnesses in a trance-like state?
We might also highlight details from many UFO reports of bizarre and hypnotic flashing lights that accompany many of these aerial anomalies, as well as sensing a strange “pulsing” in the atmosphere, and even the presence of a strange gas-like odor in the air. Once more, each of these details could suggest some kind of mind-control technology and know-how.
Although many people will dismiss mind-control as a valid explanation for at least some UFO and alien encounters, we should keep in mind how easy such things are to achieve. If we take your average hypnotist, for example, and how easy it is for them, generally speaking, to achieve this with little effort, or even the simple repetitive slogans and messages of advertisements. Ultimately, mind control is very real and very well could be a factor in the UFO and alien mysteries.
There are, though, other possibilities for us to consider. What if, for example, these mysterious visitors were not from outer space, perhaps not even extraterrestrial, but human time travelers from the future? While some people dismiss such assertions unreservedly, it is a safe bet that if the ability to travel in time were achieved in the future, time-travel missions would almost certainly go ahead. To begin with, these missions would most likely be of a scientific nature, but over time, we would almost certainly see time-travel tourism take place too. Ultimately, while the notion of time-travel to us in the twenty-first century is a complex issue, for those in the future, it could simply be nothing more than a commercial sight-seeing adventure, Indeed, this could perhaps explain why there are reports of UFOs in the distant past, some of which, it appears, have been captured in paintings hundreds of years ago. It also might explain why there is little direct contact, with even encounters of alien abduction featuring reduced interaction, to not interfere with our timelines and perhaps, changing future events for the speculative time travelers.
We might also consider that these speculative time travel missions could be for very specific purposes. Perhaps, for example, these missions are connected to altering the climate and environment, which might suggest, as some people have stated, that we are living in a tipping-point era that could see life on Earth take one course or another depending on our collective actions.
With this in mind, it is interesting to note that many people who claim to have had interactions with alien entities state that they have been told of the need to clean up our environment. Moreover, many of the “aliens” of these interactions are described as very human-like. Even more interesting, this might explain why the Modern UFO Era began in the late 1940s, almost immediately following the dropping of the bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought the Second World War to an end but also began to nuclear era.
One researcher who believes these alien visitors are, in fact, human beings from the future is Dr. Michael Masters, a professor of Biological Anthropology at Montana Technical University, who made such claims in his 2019 book Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon. He stated that, in his opinion, the most likely explanation for UFOs was our future selves simply mastering advanced technology.
He stated that the “aliens” described by witnesses were often “bipedal, hairless, human-like beings!” Despite minor variations such as larger eyes and heads, their basic anatomical features resemble those of humans, including two eyes, a nose indentation, and a small mouth — some accounts even mention diminutive ear structures.
The fact is, the suggestion that these apparent extraterrestrials are, in fact, human beings from the distant future is more in line with projected evolutionary and physical changes than many people might think. We know, for example, that the human cranial capacity has increased over the centuries in order to accommodate larger brains, certainly compared to our distant ancestors. We might ask, then, if the larger-than-normal head of the “grey alien” is simply the larger head of future humans for the same reason. Moreover, the frail, thin-like frame of these grey aliens could be a result of advanced technology reducing the need for manual labor, and so evolving humans to a more delicate, less physical physique. We might also consider if environmental conditions in the future – perhaps forcing humanity to live indoors completely, or even underground – could also contribute to this grey-alien-like appearance.
We might also consider the fact that many close encounters with apparent aliens feature these extraterrestrials communicating with humans in their native language. If we accept for a moment that aliens are, in fact, human time-travelers, then it would perhaps make sense that they would know all the languages of the time and location they were traveling to, perhaps even mastering several of them. Many of these accounts feature some kind of device that automatically translates languages on the spot – very similar to some of the devices that are available for travelers today. In fact, Masters highlights this by pointing out that many of the advanced technologies of these alien beings appear to be more advanced versions of devices already available to us. Even our current awareness of time-travel, including the theoretical framework that supports it, makes it very likely that humanity will achieve such feats at some point in the future.
Looking at how much we have achieved in the technological revolution of the second half of the twentieth century would appear to underscore this notion, and if consider the strides humanity has made in medicine and science over the last several hundred years – which is a small amount of time, relatively speaking – then we can only imagine where we might be in a thousand years from now.
It is also worth noting how UFO sightings appear to increase around times of war or disaster, natural or otherwise. Could this be simply out of macabre curiosity, or even to study history up close? If this is the case, though, why are UFO sightings continuing to increase globally around the world? What is it about the first two and a half decades of the twenty-first century that draws the attention of these potential human time travelers from the future? Should we perhaps scrutinize the actions of our political leaders, for example, and speculate on the trajectory that they are collectively steering humanity? Obviously, if the intelligence behind these UFOs is from the future, then they would know exactly where our leaders are taking humanity. Are they here purely for study, or might they be looking to influence us to steer us in a different direction? Perhaps they might be looking to intervene directly, and if this last possibility is accurate, then we should perhaps consider just where humanity is heading in the 2020s.
One last thing to consider regarding the possibility of those behind UFOs actually being human time-travelers from the future is if such events like the Roswell crash were real, then that would mean that governments, perhaps specifically the United States government, have recovered time-travel technology. Might they have been busy reverse-engineering such technology for decades? Might they have even managed to recreate this technology behind closed doors, making time travel an option for those in our modern world?
With this last point in mind, it is worth exploring the Black Forest UFO crash in Germany in 1936 and specifically claims made by an unnamed author in an online article in 2013. In it, they claimed that they had recovered a pair of field glasses that were used by one of the SS officers who was at the location on the night of the crash. According to the article, the unnamed author “channeled” through the field glasses, claiming that not only were there survivors of the crash, but that they were not aliens but humans from the future. All of the survivors, incidentally, were, according to the author, shot on sight by the SS recovery team. And once more, given that the Third Reich seemingly failed to utilize this technology for their own ends, we might ask if it was eventually transported to the United States as part of the previously mentioned Operation Paperclip.
What if, though, the intelligence behind these UFOs is not aliens or humans, but beings from another dimension? Once more, while this might sound like the stuff of science fiction to many, many mainstream scientists today are working to prove these other dimensions exist. Moreover, although only in theory, these scientists have suggested that these dimensions might, on occasion, overlap or crash into each other, perhaps opening portals that could, in theory, allow those from these other dimensions access to our realm of existence.
It is important to note that we are not talking of one, two, or even three other dimensions, but many, potentially thousands, perhaps even more. If this is the case, then that could mean there are thousands of different beings that exist, which also might explain why there have been many different types of “aliens” reported over the years.
While unintentional crashing of dimensions might allow for unintended visits into our realm, that wouldn’t explain the alien abduction phenomena. So, with that in mind, and assuming that there is a dimensional aspect to the UFO and alien mysteries, we might contemplate that these portals or gateways that allow for interdimensional travel or intentionally manipulated and opened. Of course, if this were true, then we would have to ask, just why are these interdimensional entities “abducting” humans from our realm, and for what endgame?
At this point, it would be beneficial for us to examine a declassified FBI document that is dated July 8th, 1947 – the same date as the Roswell UFO crash. The document in question makes reference to “beings” from another dimension. In fact, on page 22 of the document, it goes into detail about a “very serious situation that may develop at any time with regard to the Flying saucer”. This nine-point section reads:
“1 - Part of their disks carry crews, others are under remote control
2 - Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this planet.
3 - These visitors are human-like but much larger in size.
4 - They are NOT excarnate earth people, but come from their own world.
5 - They do NOT come from any “planet” as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us.
6 - The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter.
7 - The disks possess a type of radiant energy or ray, which will easily disintergrate any attacking ship. They re-enter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision without trace.
8 - The region from which they come is not the “astral plane”, but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of osoteric matters will understand these terms.
9 - They probably can not be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar, if a signal system can be devised for that (apparatus).”
It is clear from this document that these “aliens” are “human-like” and are, in fact, from another dimension as opposed to another planet. Moreover, these other dimensions have co-existed with us since the beginning of time, suggesting a much more layered and complex situation than just extraterrestrial visitors from another world.
With this in mind, it is interesting to note that there are many legends from ancient civilizations of portals or gateways that allow these interdimensional visitors access to our world. If we turn our attention to Native American legends, for example, they are awash with such tales. Perhaps one of these areas where these legends state these gateways exist is in the mountains of Sedona in Arizona, specifically an arch carved out of stone that is known locally as the “Doorway of the Gods,” which is said to transport anyone who walks through it to another dimension, while also allowing the “gods” themselves access to our realm of existence.
We can find similar locations in the legends of ancient Egypt, with one of the most intriguing located in Abu Ghurab, where an alabaster platform known as the “Place of the Gods” is said to vibrate in tune with the Earth, allowing whoever positions themselves on it to “be one” with higher vibrational energies.
If we turn our attention to South America, we can find further alleged portals or gateways. In Tiahuanaco in Bolivia, for example, we find the “Gate of the Sun,” which is also considered a portal to the land of the gods. Similarly, in Hayu Marca in Peru, we can find a monument known as the “Gate of the Gods”. This site features two doorways carved into the rock in a T-shape, with the larger of these measuring seven meters high and seven meters across, while the smaller doorway measures two meters high. This larger doorway, according to local legend, allowed the gods access to and from our world, while the smaller doorway allowed humans who had performed heroic or noble actions access to the realm of the gods.
In fact, there is a very specific account of the Gate of the Gods that speaks of the gateway being opened in the sixteenth century following the arrival of Spanish explorers. As these explorers looted the land, an Inca priest named Amaru Maru escaped to the doorway, taking with him a golden disc known as “The Key of the Gods of the Seven Rays”. This disc, when inserted into the smaller doorway, turned the stone into a shimmering blue light – essentially, it opened a doorway to another dimension. It is said that Maru stepped inside this shimmering blue light, never to be seen again. Incidentally, when researchers examined this smaller doorway, they discovered a round indentation that could easily fit a golden disc.
If we turn our attention to the research of Andrew Collins, specifically, his suggestions in the book Origins of the Gods, we find the suggestion that what we understand as extraterrestrials could, in fact, be “light beings” from another dimension or realm of existence. In its most basic form, it was suggested by Collins that these “aliens” could travel as pure light through both space and time. Of course, if this were accurate, given that nothing (at least according to our current understanding) travels faster than light, it would not only upend what we know about UFOs and aliens but also force us to reevaluate the very nature of our reality. Moreover, it would perhaps explain as to how these otherworldly visitors manage to traverse the vast distances of space. This theory also proposes that these energy or light beings could communicate with humans by tapping into their consciousness, which might perhaps explain why many people who believe they have interacted with aliens have done so telepathically.
Collins also suggested that many paranormal episodes, both those in the modern world and antiquity, could have originated from human interactions with exotic Earth-generated energies, including myths and legends about extraterrestrial gods.
It is also interesting to note that recent advancements in both quantum and theoretical physics appear to support Collins’ suggestions, especially our potential understanding of light and plasma. It is worth noting that plasma, which makes up 99 percent of the known universe, interacts with light and exhibits proto-intelligence. Plasma forms when atoms split, releasing photons of light, which is, ultimately, energy. With this in mind, it is interesting to note that the start of the Modern UFO Era began in the mid-to-late 1940s, following humanity’s advancements in nuclear capabilities. Could this have not only attracted the attention of (what we understand) as extraterrestrials, but also opened doorways or portals that allow these light or plasma-based beings to manifest in our realm? And once more, if we remind ourselves of telepathic communication, the idea of quantum entanglement might once more begin to offer scientific explanations to these mysterious encounters.
Arguably, one of the most thought-provoking other possibilities as to what UFOs and aliens might be is that these strange objects witnessed in our skies are ghost vehicles from the distant past. Admittedly, this theory would only account for a certain percentage of sightings and wouldn’t satisfactorily explain close encounters and alien abduction, but it is still very much worth our time exploring the notion briefly here. However, many of the sightings of aerial objects and strange lights that are there one moment and then disappear the next could indeed be explained as ghost vehicles, possibly ones from an advanced ancient, long-lost civilization. Some researchers suggest, for example, that human civilization goes back much further than mainstream history tells us it does, perhaps by hundreds of thousands, even millions of years. If these assertions are accurate, then it could be entirely plausible, especially when we consider the number of out-of-place artifacts that have been discovered over the years, that an unknown advanced civilization could have been lost to history – one that perhaps had advanced aerial machines.
While the idea that UFOs could be “ghost vehicles” is nonsensical to many, the fact is that there are numerous accounts of ghost trains, ghost cars, ghost ships, and even ghost planes on record. So, if there have been unknown advanced civilizations on Earth long before our recorded history, then it would make sense that their aerial vehicles might also be seen, on occasion, like people report seeing strange phantom vehicles that are recognizable to us.
A good example of these “ghost vehicles” might be the “Phantom Bus of London”, which was seen regularly around London, England, over the span of 60 years from the 1930s to the 1990s (although there are still sporadic sightings today). There are plenty of reports on record of this mysterious double-decker, with sightings of it almost always occurring at 1:15 am. This phantom bus is usually reported to be roaring down the road towards oncoming traffic, with several accidents on record as a result of its ghostly presence. Arguably, the worst of these accidents occurred in 1934, when a motorist swerved to avoid the menacing bus and, as a result, crashed his car into a wall. The unfortunate motorist’s car then exploded upon impact, killing him instantly.
There are many accounts of ghost planes, ships, and other vehicles on record, far too many for us to examine here. However, before we move on, it is perhaps worth our time looking at the legends of Vimanas, which can be found in the ancient texts of the Indus Valley civilizations, the Mahabharata. And we should also note that those who follow such texts consider them historical facts as opposed to mere myths and legends.
According to the writings of the Mahabharata, these Vimanas could not only traverse the skies of Earth but could also travel into outer space. Moreover, these aerial vehicles were active in our skies between 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. They are described as “two-storied celestial chariots with many windows” that would “roar off into the sky until they appeared like comets” to those on the ground. These Vimanas were also said to travel to the “solar and stellar regions” and were said to be powered by “winged lightning”. Furthermore, they came in various shapes, including cigar-shaped, pyramid-shaped, and triangular.
Even more intriguing, these advanced aerial vehicles often found themselves in aerial battles and contained weapons capable of destroying enemy aircraft, as well as devices that could “photograph” enemy aircraft, perhaps similar to modern aerial reconnaissance missions. Also similar to some advanced modern aircraft, these Vimanas could make themselves invisible, perhaps suggesting they had “cloaking” technology. Could it be that at least some of the UFOs witnessed today are ghostly representations of Vimanas from a past age? It is certainly worth considering.
Our last possibility to consider here would be that these UFOs and the intelligence behind them are not from another planet, realm, or time, but that they come from right here on Earth, with the intelligence behind them being an unknown indigenous species, albeit an advanced one. If this is true, then we might consider that this unknown civilization resides somewhere deep under the ground, or even under the water. This last consideration is interesting in itself. There are, for example, multiple legends telling of another civilization taking refuge underground, while many UFO researchers in the modern era speak of the notion of “underwater alien bases” and suggest that these UFOs are indeed coming and going from deep under the water.
Indeed, the notion of an inner Earth is something that has been pondered for centuries, and by such people as Edmund Halley, Sir Issac Newton, and Leonard Euler. Moreover, if we turn our attention to the legends of the Tibetan, Hindu, and Indian texts, they speak of Shambhaia, a great underground kingdom that is located “deep within inner Asia”, with the texts also mentioning the Avatar Rama, a blue-skinned entity that resided deep underground.
If we turn our attention to Buddhist texts, we can find further accounts of underground entities, which speak of a race of supermen and women” who access the Earth’s surface via a vast underground tunnel network, with the entrance hidden somewhere deep in Tibet. This suggestion of vast underground tunnel networks can be found all over the planet, perhaps specifically, under the United States, which some researchers suggest stretches across the country from one coast to the other. Indeed, many Native American legends state that their ancient ancestors used such underground networks to escape cataclysmic disasters.
While we won’t spend too much time on it, it is perhaps worth mentioning here the multiple accounts of reptilians, with many encounters taking place near or in cave systems. Could it be that these reptilian entities, if indeed they do exist, are the unknown indigenous civilization that also calls Earth home? Accounts with reptilians will have to wait for another article, but once more, when considering who or what is behind the UFO and alien mysteries, such considerations are equally as valid as the next.
As we can see, then, there are many more possible explanations for UFOs other than aliens (at least as we would understand them). Moreover, compelling and convincing arguments can be made for all of the possibilities we have examined here. Even more thought-provoking, and evidence that the UFO and alien mysteries are multi-layered, nuanced, and complex, is that the truth of the matter could very well contain elements of all of the suggestions and ideas we have explored here. No single argument, for example, can explain or settle every UFO and alien encounter on record.
It could very well be the case that once we understand one aspect of the UFO mystery – and, in turn, one part of the paranormal spectrum – we will most likely see all other areas of the unexplained and the mysterious from a new perspective, and possibly with a new light shined on them. There are many researchers who firmly believe there are genuine connections between multiple areas of the paranormal. And if we accept that aliens might not be “aliens” as we have come to culturally understand them, then that possibility begins to make more sense, and indeed strengthens.
It is also worth noting that, despite all of the considerations we have examined here, aliens – as we collectively understand them – could very well still be visiting the Earth. There are, for example, many different kinds of UFOs witnessed in the skies, as well as many different entities reported. Ultimately, right now, all considerations must remain on the table.
Above all else, one thing is certain – that UFOs – unidentified flying objects – very much exist and are very real. What they might be, however, remains very much up for debate. Indeed, it very much appears that if we can understand UFOs and what they might be, we will shine a light on many other areas of the paranormal world and our own collective reality.

Alien hunters reckon they have spotted crashed “UFO debris” and "alien bodies” in newly found footage of the Roswell incident.
The ET obsessives claim to have made the discovery after a 22-minute video titled The Roswell Incident quietly surfaced on the US National Archives website.
It has sparked fresh speculation over one of the world’s most enduring UFO mysteries. The footage – largely composed of images from the published Roswell Report, as well as various magazines and books about UFOs – ends with a striking black-and-white image of a crater strewn with metallic debris.
Online users insist the scene resembles long-rumoured accounts of the alleged 1947 UFO crash site.

Some claim the footage shows an alien body, though experts remain sceptical. UFO researcher Mark Lee said: “Just because it's been added to the National Archives doesn't give it scientific validation. If it came out as a release from the military or Congress, I would take it a lot more seriously.”

He also noted the supposed “alien” is likely pareidolia – the human tendency to see faces in patterns.
Official investigations have long attributed the “UFO debris” to Project Mogul, a Cold War balloon programme designed to detect Soviet nuclear tests. But the newly posted film has reignited debate, with believers hailing it as another piece in the “slow drip” of disclosure over the Roswell mystery.
The presence of non-human intelligence on Earth has long been debated by UFO enthusiasts as some claim that the US government is hiding the truth from the general public. Many officials who worked within the government have supported these claims on/off camera. Moreover, if Robert O. Dean’s claims about UFOs and extraterrestrials are true, then they have the potential to turn the world upside down.
Robert O. Dean, a former US Army Command Sergeant Major, revealed shocking information regarding extraterrestrial visitation. Drawing upon his experiences and knowledge from his time in the military, Major Dean shared intriguing details about various extraterrestrial groups and their interaction with humanity. His revelations indicate that the reality of extraterrestrial life extends far beyond what we previously imagined.
His credibility cannot be questioned as he worked at NATO headquarter from 1963 to 1967. He claimed to have come across the 1964 report called “An Assessment,” the NATO military study that acknowledged and analyzed the implications of the alien presence on Earth. After his military career, he revealed this information at the Roswell 50th anniversary celebration.
During his lecture on UFOs at Leeds University, Major Dean said that authorities were aware of the presence of four distinct extraterrestrial groups during his active service. However, by the time he retired, this knowledge expanded exponentially. He claimed that the United States military, and likely the British military as well, were aware of at least 12 different groups involved in interactions with Earth.

Astonishingly, he mentioned hearing from trusted sources that there may be well over a hundred different alien groups coming and going from unknown origins. Such a revelation challenged the conventional understanding of alien visitation and suggested a complex interplay between Earth and various extraterrestrial civilizations.
Of the four alien main groups, one particular group caught the attention of high-ranking military officials in 1964 and 1967. This group resembled humans to such an extent that they could seamlessly blend into society, sitting beside people on airplanes, in restaurants, or even in theaters without arousing suspicion.
The uncanny resemblance troubled military leaders profoundly, as their natural paranoia led them to question the possibility of alien intelligence freely navigating the corridors of power, such as SHAPE (Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe) headquarters or even the Pentagon. The notion that these beings could potentially infiltrate the White House triggered a mix of nervous laughter and concern among the military personnel present.
However, Major Dean emphasized that the resemblance between these extraterrestrial beings and humans should be interpreted differently. He proposed that it was humanity who shared a likeness with these advanced beings, suggesting a profound connection between the two. He hinted that there existed a compelling reason for this similarity, which he regrettably did not elaborate on during the lecture.
Moreover, Major Dean revealed that extraterrestrial visitation extended far beyond simple interplanetary interaction. The military, scientists, and planners learned that we were dealing with beings from interstellar and even intergalactic origins. Surprisingly, these advanced non-human intellgence exhibited multi-dimensional characteristics, which enabled them to manipulate both matter and time. The repeated demonstrations of these mind-bending capabilities were intended to capture humanity’s attention and challenge our understanding of the universe.
He emphasized that these alien visitors were not merely curious explorers from other planets, but were deeply interested in humanity itself. Their multi-dimensional nature and mastery over time and matter presented a mind-boggling challenge to traditional Newtonian and Einsteinian physics.
Major Dean expressed that only theoretical physicists, particularly those specializing in quantum physics, were equipped to begin comprehending the intricacies of multi-dimensional visitation. He acknowledged the ongoing collaboration between quantum physicists in the United States and Great Britain, suggesting that they were at the forefront of unraveling this enigma.
As Major Dean admitted, he is not a physicist or scientist, making it difficult for him to explain the intricacies of dimensions. He said: “I’m not a physicist, I’m not a scientist. I can’t begin to tell you what a dimension is, for that matter. I’m told we live in three, and that’s quite a simple world that we have around us. I’m told that time and space is the fourth.
Theoretical physicists have told me that there are as many as ten different dimensions. I cannot, for a moment, grasp what that means. I do, however, accept that it’s probably real. The evidence that I have seen over my last 40 years has told me that this is not fantasy, this is not science fiction, this is all real. And, ladies and gentlemen, this reality, when it becomes known and when it makes an impact upon our world, is going to change our world forever. You talk about a paradigm shift, that’s an understatement. The old world we have known for so long is literally coming to an end, and it’s just around the corner.”
During the Barcelona Exopolitics Summit, on July 25, 2009, Mr. Dean released a set of amazing images. He also explained the Apollo missions and what the astronauts encountered unlike anyone before. He released to the public a set of fascinating images supposedly captured by the astronauts of the Apollo 12 mission, including an image showing some mysterious spacecraft several hundred feet in diameter.
In his 41 years of federal service to the United States, Mr. Dean heard a lot of bizarre things, but the thing that the human race is a hybrid race stunned him. He said: “I’ve learned that we are not merely alone; we have never been alone. We have had an intimate interrelationship with advanced extraterrestrial intelligence from the beginning of our history. And let me tell you that that intimate interrelationship is still going on.”
He continued: “This one race, in particular, apparently reengineered us as a species about 200,000 years ago. What we are here today is what we call homo sapien sapiens — you’re an engineered creature. Your genetics have been manipulated. You’re not the same as what you were and you are not the same as to what your children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be in the next hundred years.” (Click here to read the full story)
Major Dean, a prominent figure in the field of UFOlogy, made significant contributions and was recognized with three-lifetime achievement awards. He enjoyed widespread support on the Internet, with many believing in his legitimacy. Sadly, Mr. Dean passed away on October 11, 2018, at the age of 89 in Tucson, Arizona.
De kans dat we ooit een buitenaardse beschaving ontmoeten, lijkt bijzonder klein. Volgens nieuw onderzoek zouden de dichtstbijzijnde intelligente aliens wel 33.000 lichtjaar verderop kunnen zitten en bovendien miljoenen jaren ouder zijn dan wij.
Tot die conclusie komen onderzoekers Manuel Scherf en Helmut Lammer van het Oostenrijkse instituut voor ruimteonderzoek. Zij berekenden welke strikte voorwaarden een planeet moet vervullen om niet alleen leven, maar ook intelligentie en technologie mogelijk te maken. Uit hun werk blijkt dat zulke omstandigheden wellicht veel minder vaak voorkomen dan vaak wordt aangenomen.
Andere kant van de Melkweg Om die afstand in perspectief te plaatsen: licht reist met 300.000 kilometer per seconde, maar heeft nog steeds 33.000 jaar nodig om zo ver te komen. Ons zonnestelsel staat zelf op ongeveer 27.000 lichtjaar van het centrum van de Melkweg. De dichtstbijzijnde technologische soort zou dus zomaar zo ver kunnen leven, dat we er nooit contact mee zullen hebben.
En dan is er nog de factor tijd. Om slechts tien beschavingen tegelijkertijd in de Melkweg te hebben, zou hun gemiddelde levensduur boven de tien miljoen jaar moeten liggen, zo berekenden de onderzoekers. Als we al ooit contact maken, dan is die beschaving vrijwel zeker miljoenen jaren ouder dan de onze. In nog geen tweehonderd jaar sprong de mensheid van de stoommachine naar ruimtevluchten, het internet en kunstmatige intelligentie. Wat kan een soort bereiken met miljoenen jaren extra voorsprong, als ze zo lang weet te overleven? Zou zo’n soort niet al doorheen de Melkweg zijn verspreid? En als dat zo is, waarom zien we hen dan nergens?
De rol van plaattektoniek Juist het feit dat we op die vragen geen antwoord hebben, toont volgens de onderzoekers hoe uitzonderlijk de voorwaarden voor intelligent leven zijn. Een van de belangrijkste factoren is plaattektoniek, de constante verschuiving van aardplaten die ook op onze planeet plaatsvindt.
Dat systeem houdt de hoeveelheid koolstofdioxide in de atmosfeer binnen leefbare grenzen. Te weinig en fotosynthese stopt, waardoor ecosystemen instorten. Te veel en een planeet verandert in een broeikashel, zoals Venus. Elke planeet heeft bovendien een ingebouwde limiet, zeggen de onderzoekers. Op een gegeven moment wordt er zoveel koolstofdioxide uit de atmosfeer getrokken dat fotosynthese ophoudt te werken. Voor de aarde gebeurt dat naar verwachting tussen de 200 miljoen en 1 miljard jaar in de toekomst. Ter vergelijking: het duurde 4,5 miljard jaar voordat er mensen rondliepen. Waren we een half miljard jaar later, dan waren we misschien nooit op tijd geweest om een beschaving te ontwikkelen.
Zuurstof als voorwaarde voor technologie Maar er is meer nodig dan alleen de juiste hoeveelheid koolstofdioxide. Ook zuurstof speelt een cruciale rol. Een beschaving heeft minstens 18 procent zuurstof in de atmosfeer nodig om vuur te kunnen maken. Zonder vuur geen smeltende metalen, en dus geen technologie.
Als je alle getallen naast elkaar legt, wordt het beeld pas echt ontmoedigend. Een technologische soort op een planeet met 10 procent CO2 zou volgens de berekeningen van de onderzoekers minstens 280.000 jaar moeten standhouden voordat er zelfs maar één andere beschaving tegelijkertijd in de Melkweg bestaat. Planeten met minder CO2, zoals de aarde, hebben een nog kortere levensduur als broedplaats voor intelligente soorten.
Kanttekeningen bij het onderzoek De onderzoekers erkennen dat hun berekeningen niet het complete plaatje geven. Er zijn andere factoren die ze nog niet konden meenemen, zoals hoe vaak leven überhaupt ontstaat, hoe vaak fotosynthese evolueert, of hoe vaak intelligent leven daadwerkelijk technologie ontwikkelt.
Mocht elk van die factoren een hoge kans hebben, dan hoeft buitenaardse intelligentie helemaal niet zo zeldzaam te zijn, erkennen ze. Maar als de kans bij elk van die stappen juist laag is, dan kan een nog somberder scenario realistischer zijn. En dat betekent misschien wel dat we écht alleen zijn. Maar of dat zo is of niet, verandert niets aan wat schrijver Arthur C. Clarke ooit zei: “er zijn twee mogelijkheden: ofwel zijn we alleen in het universum, ofwel zijn we dat niet. Beide mogelijkheden zijn even beangstigend.”
A nearly 22-minute video titled 'The Roswell Incident' has been quietly uploaded to the National Archives, reigniting interest in the infamous 1947 crash.
The footage combines still images and motion-control camera shots sourced from the published Roswell Report, as well as various magazines and books about UFOs.
It opens with a shot of the book 'The Roswell Report: Fact Versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert' and ends with a stark black-and-white image that appears to show a crash site, with debris scattered across a massive crater in the ground.
The video has flooded the internet, with users claiming the crater bears a striking resemblance to eyewitness reports, suggesting it could be 'the first pictures of the 1947 UFO crash site.'
Major Jesse Marcel, who recovered debris from the crash, described the scene as 'a large area heavily scattered with metallic debris from a single impact point that scarred the earth.'
Some viewers have also pointed to a dark formation on the right side of the image, claiming it resembles an alien body.
UFO expert Mark Lee told the Daily Mail that the crater image was likely included to add intrigue.
'In my opinion, it's either a hoax,' he said. 'Just because it's been added to the National Archives doesn't give it scientific validation. If it came out as a release from the military or Congress, I would take it a lot more seriously.'
Lee also noted that the 'alien' in the photo is nothing more than a case of pareidolia, a psychological response to seeing faces and other significant and everyday items in random stimuli.

The newly uploaded video appears to focus on 'The Roswell Report: Fact Versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert,' a 1995 book that attributes the crashed 'UFO' debris to Project Mogul.
Project Mogul was a top-secret US military program from 1947 to 1949 that used high-altitude balloons equipped with microphones to detect sound waves from Soviet atomic bomb tests.
A 1994 military investigation concluded that the debris found at the Roswell site was likely pieces of a high-altitude balloon from Project Mogul, not an extraterrestrial spacecraft.

Scientists Propose Earth May Have Been Terraformed by Aliens
A controversial new scientific paper has sent shockwaves through the academic community by suggesting that life on Earth may not have emerged through natural processes alone, but could instead be the result of deliberate terraforming by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. The research, published by Imperial College London's Professor Robert Endres, applies cutting-edge information theory and AI models to demonstrate that the odds of life spontaneously arising from chemical chaos are so astronomically low that alien intervention becomes a "logically open alternative."
The study, titled " The unreasonable likelihood of being: Origin of life, terraforming, and AI," challenges fundamental assumptions about Earth's biological origins. Using mathematical frameworks based on rate-distortion theory and algorithmic complexity, Endres concludes that assembling a viable protocell within Earth's available timeframe would require persistence over geological timescales that strain credibility.
Professor Endres developed a novel approach using Kolmogorov complexity to estimate the informational content required for life's emergence. His calculations suggest that a minimal protocell requires approximately one billion bits of organized information - equivalent to the complexity of sophisticated computer programs. When compared against the estimated entropy of prebiotic chemical environments and molecular persistence timescales, the mathematics paint a sobering picture.
"A purely random soup, made up of molecules that eventually enabled the formation of life on Earth, was too lossy," Endres explains in his yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper. The research indicates that some form of persistent directional process - lasting hundreds of millions of years - would be necessary to accumulate sufficient biological information naturally.
The study draws parallels between ancient theories and modern science, noting that humanity now seriously contemplates terraforming Mars and Venus. "If advanced civilizations exist," the paper argues, "it is not implausible they might attempt similar interventions out of curiosity, necessity, or design."

Directed Panspermia: From Science Fiction to Science
The concept isn't entirely new. In 1973, Francis Crick - the co-discoverer of DNA's helical structure - and chemist Leslie Orgel proposed "directed panspermia" as a potential explanation for life's unlikely emergence. Their theory suggested that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations deliberately seeded Earth with microbial "starter kits" to establish biological evolution.
Dr Francis Crick, one of the discoverers of DNA’s helical structure.
Crick and Orgel's hypothesis emerged from recognition of the same statistical improbabilities that drive Endres' modern analysis. Even with primitive 1970s knowledge, the mathematical challenges of abiogenesis appeared formidable. Their proposal offered an elegant solution: relocate the explanatory burden to more advanced civilizations operating under unknown conditions.
Ancient cultures worldwide contain creation myths describing divine or celestial beings bringing life to Earth. From the biblical Book of Genesis to Mesopotamian texts describing sky gods, humanity has long contemplated external origins for terrestrial biology. Modern directed panspermia theories provide scientific frameworks for concepts that have persisted across civilizations.
Endres' calculations reveal staggering temporal requirements for natural abiogenesis. His models suggest that without persistent directional bias, random molecular assembly would require time periods exceeding the universe's age by factors of millions or billions. Even with optimistic assumptions about chemical environments and molecular stability, the informational bottleneck remains severe.
The research applies principles from bacterial chemotaxis - where organisms exhibit "run-and-tumble" behavior - to model how chemical evolution might accumulate biological information. If molecular interactions behave like random walks without persistent memory, assembly times become cosmologically implausible.
"With persistence time of one year, the required time is still approximately 10^17 years, about ten million times the universe's current age," the paper states. These calculations suggest that either unknown physical principles accelerate biological organization, or external intervention provided necessary starting conditions.
AI and the Future of Origins Research
The study leverages artificial intelligence tools including AlphaFold protein folding algorithms and comprehensive whole-cell computational models to estimate biological complexity. These modern approaches provide unprecedented precision in quantifying life's informational requirements compared to earlier theoretical frameworks.
Endres acknowledges that invoking extraterrestrial terraforming "violates Occam's razor" by adding explanatory complexity. However, he argues that the mathematical constraints of natural abiogenesis may warrant considering alternatives previously dismissed as science fiction.
The research represents growing intersection between astrobiology, information theory, and AI. As computational models become more sophisticated, scientists can quantify biological complexity with increasing accuracy, potentially resolving longstanding debates about life's origins.
Whether Earth's biosphere emerged through undiscovered physical principles, highly improbable natural processes, or deliberate extraterrestrial intervention remains an open question. However, Endres' work demonstrates that serious scientific investigation of unconventional possibilities may be necessary when conventional explanations encounter mathematical impossibilities.

Are We All Martians? An Examination of the Panspermia Hypothesis in the Context of Astrobiology
Abstract
This paper investigates the compelling hypothesis that life on Earth may have originated from extraterrestrial sources through the process of panspermia. The concept suggests that microorganisms could have been transported across space, possibly surviving the extreme conditions of ejection from a planetary surface, the harsh environment of space transit, and eventual deposition on Earth.
To evaluate this, the study reviews current scientific evidence, including the resilience of microbes under simulated space conditions and the presence of organic compounds in space. It also examines theoretical models addressing the survivability of microorganisms during interplanetary and interstellar journeys, considering factors such as radiation, vacuum, and temperature fluctuations. The discussion extends to the potential for life to have independently arisen on other celestial bodies like Mars, which has shown signs of past water activity. Recent discoveries, including meteorites originating from Mars containing organic molecules and the detection of interstellar objects passing through our solar system, are analyzed to assess their significance in supporting the panspermia hypothesis.
The paper also explores the implications of interplanetary transfer for understanding the origin and distribution of life in the universe, touching on the possibility that life could be more widespread than previously thought. Overall, this review synthesizes current scientific findings and theoretical models to evaluate the plausibility of panspermia as a fundamental mechanism in the emergence of life on Earth, suggesting that the transfer of life across space remains a viable and intriguing scientific hypothesis.
Introduction
Are we all Martians? This provocative question challenges our understanding of the origins of life on Earth and opens the door to the fascinating possibility that life may not be exclusive to our planet. The core idea behind this inquiry is rooted in the hypothesis of panspermia, which suggests that life, or at least the building blocks of life, did not originate solely on Earth but may have been transferred here from other celestial bodies such as meteorites, comets, or even interstellar dust. Historically, this idea was considered speculative or even fringe science, but recent scientific advances have rekindled interest in its plausibility.
The concept of panspermia is supported by the discovery that some microorganisms are remarkably resilient, capable of surviving extreme conditions such as high radiation levels, vacuum, and the intense cold of space. This resilience raises the possibility that microbial life could endure the harsh environment of space during interplanetary travel, potentially hitching a ride on space debris traveling between planets. For example, meteorites originating from Mars have been found on Earth, containing mineral compositions and isotopic signatures that suggest they could have been ejected from their parent planet by impact events and traveled through space to land on Earth.
Further, the discovery of interstellar objects like ‘Oumuamua and Comet Borisov has expanded the scope of the panspermia hypothesis, suggesting that material—and perhaps life—can move between star systems. Advances in astrobiology have led scientists to examine the possibility that microbial life, or the precursors to life such as organic molecules, could have been transported across the cosmos and contributed to the emergence of life on Earth. These findings challenge the traditional view that life originated solely through chemical evolution within Earth’s primordial environment.
In conclusion, the question of whether we are all Martians is more than a philosophical curiosity; it is a serious scientific inquiry that could reshape our understanding of life's origins. While definitive proof remains elusive, ongoing research continues to explore the extraordinary resilience of microorganisms and the mechanisms by which life might have been distributed throughout the universe, ultimately suggesting that life on Earth could be part of a much larger cosmic story.
Panspermia: Theoretical Foundations
The hypothesis of panspermia proposes that life, or at least the building blocks of life, can be transferred between planets through space debris such as meteoroids, asteroids, or comets. According to this theory, microorganisms originating on one planet could survive the harsh journey through space and seed life on another planet, potentially explaining the origin of life on Earth or elsewhere in the universe.
This process involves three main stages: ejection, transit, and deposition. The first stage, ejection, occurs when a celestial body experiences a significant impact, such as a collision with an asteroid or comet. The force of the impact can blast material containing microorganisms from the planet's surface into space. For life to survive this phase, microbes must withstand the intense shock and mechanical forces generated during ejection.
The second stage, space transit, presents some of the most formidable challenges for microbial survival. Space is characterized by vacuum conditions, extreme radiation levels from cosmic rays and solar particles, and temperature fluctuations that can reach hundreds of degrees Celsius. Microorganisms traveling through space must endure prolonged exposure to these extreme conditions. Interestingly, some microbes exhibit extraordinary resilience. For example, tardigrades, microscopic creatures known for their ability to survive in extreme environments, can withstand vacuum and radiation. Similarly, Deinococcus radiodurans, a bacterium, is renowned for its resistance to radiation and desiccation, making it a prime candidate for surviving interplanetary journeys.
The final stage, deposition, involves the microbe-laden debris landing on a new planetary surface. For successful colonization, microbes must survive the impact's force and the initial environmental conditions of the new world. Once deposited, if conditions are favorable, these microorganisms could potentially multiply and initiate a new biosphere.
Recent scientific research supports the plausibility of panspermia by demonstrating that certain microbes can survive in space-like environments. Experiments have shown that some microorganisms can endure simulated space conditions, bolstering the hypothesis that life could be distributed throughout the universe via natural cosmic processes. While definitive evidence remains elusive, advances in astrobiology continue to explore this intriguing possibility, expanding our understanding of life's potential ubiquity in the cosmos.
ALIEN EJECTION
Ejection and Launch Survival:
The initial phase of microbial transfer from a planetary surface into space involves the ejection of material caused by asteroid impacts. When a large asteroid strikes a planet such as Mars, the immense energy generated by the impact causes the surface material—comprising rock fragments and soil—to be violently displaced and propelled into space. Embedded within this ejected debris can be microorganisms present in the planet's crust, raising the possibility of interplanetary transfer of life.
According to Brett Gladman, an expert in impact physics and planetary science, not all fragments are subjected to the same extreme conditions during ejection. Some particles that are not directly impacted by the shock wave may escape with relatively minimal heating and pressure. These less-affected fragments are more likely to retain their original biological material without destruction. The dynamics of impact ejection imply that microorganisms embedded within the surface material could survive the violent process if they are shielded within fragments that avoid excessive thermal and mechanical stress.
Further supporting this possibility, analysis of Martian meteorites found on Earth shows that these rocks have never experienced temperatures high enough to sterilize or destroy any potential embedded microbes. This evidence suggests that microbes could survive the ejection process from Mars and possibly be transported through space to other celestial bodies, including Earth. The overall process involves a complex interplay of impact physics, material properties, and biological resilience, making the transfer of life between planets a plausible scenario within the framework of planetary protection and astrobiology research.

Space Transit
Once microbes are released into space, they are subjected to a series of extreme environmental conditions that pose significant threats to their survival. The vacuum of space causes desiccation, or extreme dehydration, which can damage cellular structures and DNA. Additionally, cosmic radiation, including high-energy particles and gamma rays, can induce mutations and break DNA strands, potentially leading to cell death. Temperatures vary drastically in space, with regions of intense heat when exposed to the Sun and freezing temperatures in shaded areas, creating a hostile environment for most living organisms.
Despite these challenges, some microbes and microscopic animals have demonstrated remarkable resilience. Notably, tardigrades, also known as water bears, can enter a cryptobiotic state—a form of suspended animation—where they halt metabolic processes and become highly resistant to environmental stresses. Similarly, certain bacteria, such as Deinococcus radiodurans, have evolved mechanisms to repair DNA damage inflicted by radiation and oxidative stress. Laboratory experiments have confirmed that tardigrades can survive exposure to space conditions for at least ten days, maintaining their viability after retrieval. Deinococcus radiodurans has also shown an extraordinary ability to withstand high doses of radiation for extended periods.
A critical question remains whether these microbes can survive the entire duration of space transit, which can span from thousands to millions of years, without losing their ability to reproduce or cause infection upon reaching a new environment. While current evidence suggests that some extremophiles can endure short-term exposure, their long-term survival over cosmic timescales remains uncertain. Understanding this resilience is essential for assessing the risks of panspermia—the hypothesis that life can be transferred between planets—and for future space exploration missions.
Interstellar and Interplanetary Transfer
The probability of microorganisms traveling between stars is considered extremely low due to the vast distances involved in space. While the discovery of interstellar objects like ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and comet Borisov in 2019 shows that objects can indeed travel across the galaxy, the chances of microbes hitching a ride on such objects and surviving the journey are minimal. These celestial visitors demonstrate that matter can move between star systems, but this does not necessarily imply biological transfer is feasible.
One of the main challenges is the incredible length of time required for microbes to make such journeys. For example, if a microbe were to travel from the nearest star system—Proxima Centauri, approximately 4.24 light-years away—it would need to survive a journey lasting tens of thousands of years. According to astronomer Gladman, a microbe would need to endure roughly 10,000 years of space travel, facing extreme conditions such as intense radiation, vacuum, and temperature fluctuations. These factors make it highly unlikely that any microorganism could survive such an extended exposure to the harsh environment of space.
Furthermore, even if microbes could survive the initial ejection from a planet and travel through space, the chances of landing on a new planet with suitable conditions for survival are slim. The process of transfer—known as panspermia—is theoretically possible but remains highly speculative without direct evidence. The resilience of microbes over such long periods and extreme conditions is still uncertain, and current scientific understanding suggests that interstellar biological transfer is improbable.
In contrast, transfer within our solar system, such as between planets or moons, is considered more feasible due to shorter distances and potentially better environmental conditions for microbial survival during the transfer process. Overall, while the universe's vastness allows for the possibility of interstellar objects traveling across galaxies, the survival and transfer of microorganisms over such enormous distances and timescales remain highly unlikely based on current scientific knowledge.
Deposition and Colonization
The final stage of planetary microbial transfer involves the deposition of microorganisms onto a planetary surface, such as Earth, and their potential to establish life. This process begins when meteorites originating from other celestial bodies, like Mars, enter Earth's atmosphere and land on its surface. Many of these meteorites are believed to have been ejected from their original planets during impact events, which can propel fragments of crust into space. Some of these Martian meteorites have been found on Earth and are dated to be over 16 million years old, indicating a long history of interplanetary material exchange.
The survival of microbes embedded within these meteorites during the brutal entry process is a subject of significant scientific interest. Despite the intense heat and friction experienced during atmospheric entry, certain extremophiles—microorganisms that thrive in extreme conditions—have demonstrated remarkable resilience. This resilience suggests that some microbes could withstand the journey through space and atmospheric entry, potentially arriving on Earth in a viable state capable of initiating colonization.
Furthermore, this exchange of material is likely bi-directional. Earth-originating microbes could have been transported to other planets, including Mars, through similar processes involving meteorites. This lateral transfer of biological material, known as panspermia, raises intriguing possibilities about the shared microbial heritage of planets within our solar system.
Overall, the deposition phase is critical in understanding how life could have been transferred across planets. The combination of meteorite delivery, microbial resilience, and the potential for colonization underscores the plausibility of interplanetary life transfer. Ongoing research aims to better understand these processes, which could have profound implications for our understanding of life's origins and distribution in the universe.
Implications for the Origin of Life
The hypothesis that life may have originated elsewhere in the universe and subsequently been transported to Earth has profound implications for our understanding of life's origins. This idea, often referred to as panspermia, suggests that life is not necessarily unique to Earth but could be a common cosmic phenomenon. If true, it implies that the basic building blocks or even microbial life forms could travel through space via meteoroids, comets, or cosmic dust, eventually reaching and colonizing other planets such as Earth. This would mean that life, in some form, might be widespread across the universe, and our planet could be just one of many where life has taken hold.
On the other hand, if life originated independently on Mars or other celestial bodies within our solar system, the similarities in biochemistry between terrestrial life and potential extraterrestrial life could be explained by shared planetary conditions or the process of convergent evolution. For instance, the presence of similar molecules like water, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous on Mars suggests that the fundamental ingredients necessary for life are common throughout the solar system. Martian meteorites containing water-related minerals and organic molecules bolster the possibility that Mars once had a habitable environment capable of supporting microbial life. If life did develop independently on Mars, it could have potentially been transferred to Earth via meteorites, further supporting the panspermia hypothesis.
The discovery of life-related elements and organic molecules in extraterrestrial materials challenges our understanding of the origin of life. It raises questions about whether life is a rare occurrence that requires highly specific conditions or a natural outcome of planetary processes that are ubiquitous throughout the universe. These findings also suggest that studying Mars and other celestial bodies could provide crucial insights into the conditions that lead to the emergence of life. Ultimately, whether life originated elsewhere and was transported to Earth or arose independently, these possibilities expand our view of life's potential distribution and underscore the importance of ongoing space exploration in solving one of humanity’s most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe?

Current Evidence and Challenges
The idea that life on Earth may have originated from extraterrestrial sources—known as panspermia—has long fascinated scientists and the public alike. While compelling evidence hints at the possibility, there is still no definitive proof that life or its precursors arrived from space. Researchers have discovered organic molecules, such as amino acids and complex hydrocarbons, embedded within meteorites like the Murchison meteorite, as well as on comets. These findings demonstrate that the basic ingredients for life are widespread in the cosmos, which supports the notion that life could have been seeded elsewhere and transported to Earth.
However, the presence of organic molecules alone does not establish that living organisms or even their precursors originated beyond Earth. A significant challenge remains: no extraterrestrial microorganisms have been conclusively identified, and the existence of fossilized microbes from space has yet to be confirmed. Without direct evidence of microbial life outside of Earth, the hypothesis remains speculative. Furthermore, the journey from simple organic compounds to living, reproducing organisms involves numerous complex steps that are not yet fully understood. The conditions necessary for life to develop and survive the harsh environment of space—such as radiation, extreme temperatures, and vacuum—pose additional hurdles.
Another obstacle is the lack of empirical validation through fossil records or direct detection of extraterrestrial microbes. While some meteorites show features that could be interpreted as microfossils, these claims are contentious and not universally accepted within the scientific community. To bolster the panspermia hypothesis, future missions are essential. Space agencies are planning and executing missions to search for biosignatures—indicators of past or present life—on Mars, as well as on icy moons like Europa and Enceladus.
Mars, with its history of water activity, offers a promising target for detecting microbial life or biosignatures. Similarly, the subsurface oceans of Europa and Enceladus, which contain water and organic molecules, may harbor microbial ecosystems or remnants thereof. Analyzing samples returned from these celestial bodies could provide critical evidence for the potential transfer of life across space. Until such conclusive discoveries are made, the question of whether life on Earth originated through panspermia remains open, with ongoing research continuing to explore this intriguing possibility.
Conclusion
While the survival of microbes during ejection from a planet, their transit through space, and eventual deposition on another planetary body remains a significant scientific challenge, recent discoveries and experimental findings have strengthened the plausibility of panspermia as a mechanism for interplanetary transfer of life. Studies have demonstrated that certain extremophiles—microorganisms that thrive in extreme conditions—possess remarkable resilience, enabling them to withstand the harsh environment of space, including vacuum, radiation, and extreme temperatures. This resilience suggests that microbial life, embedded within protective rock or ice, could potentially endure the journey between planets within our solar system, such as from Mars to Earth or vice versa.
Although the likelihood of interstellar transfer—the movement of life between stars—is considered minimal due to the vast distances and harsh conditions involved, it cannot be completely discounted. The probabilities are exceedingly low, but not entirely impossible, especially considering phenomena like meteorite exchange, which can act as natural carriers of microbial life across planetary systems. Ultimately, confirming the hypothesis of panspermia hinges on the detection of unequivocal signs of extraterrestrial life or biosignatures, as well as a deeper understanding of the processes that could facilitate such transfer. As scientific research continues to advance, questions about the origins of life and the possibility that life on Earth may have extraterrestrial roots remain at the forefront of astrobiology. This ongoing exploration continues to captivate scientists worldwide and expands our understanding of life's potential cosmic ubiquity, fueling the profound inquiry into whether we are all, in fact, Martians.

Is daar iemand? Hoe we hebben geprobeerd contact te maken met aliens
Is daar iemand? Hoe we hebben geprobeerd contact te maken met aliens
Pogingen om contact te maken Al zolang we bestaan heeft de mens zich herhaaldelijk deze vraag gesteld: 'Zijn we alleen in dit universum?' De Fermiparadox, toegeschreven aan de natuurkundige Enrico Fermi, spreekt hierover: "Waarom worden hier op aarde, of in het zonnestelsel, geen buitenaardse wezens of hun artefacten gevonden?" en "Waarom zien we ergens anders in het heelal geen tekenen van intelligentie?"
Is daar iemand? Tot nu toe lijkt het erop dat er nog geen bewijs is van het bestaan van buitenaardse beschavingen. Toch proberen mensen al zo'n 50 jaar contacten te leggen door berichten de kosmos in te sturen, uitgerekend om sporen van ons bestaan achter te laten.
Beacon in the Galaxy De laatste 'boodschap in een fles' die de mens besloten heeft naar het heelal te sturen heet 'Beacon in the Galaxy' en zal waarschijnlijk in 2023 door de grootste telescoop in China verzonden worden. Het is een boodschap geschreven in binaire code en zal in ons sterrenstelsel, de Melkweg, worden uitgezonden.
Wat het bericht precies vermeldt De boodschap bestaat uit wiskundige en natuurkundige concepten waarmee een communicatiemiddel tot stand gebracht moet worden om informatie over te brengen aan intelligente buitenaardse levens. Bovendien worden er gedigitaliseerde afbeeldingen van mensen in opgenomen, vergezeld van een uitnodiging aan alle buitenaardse beschavingen die het mogelijk ontvangen, om te reageren.
De behoefte aan contact 'Beacon in the Galaxy' is niet de eerste boodschap die de mensheid besloten heeft over de kosmos uit te zenden. Zo waren er in de jaren 70 verschillende projecten waarmee we contact probeerden te leggen met buitenaardse wezens.
Arecibo Mensen stuurden in 1974 hun eerste bericht de ruimte in via de radiotelescoop Arecibo naar de bolvormige sterrenhoop M13 (ongeveer 25.000 lichtjaren weg). Het bericht bevatte gestileerde figuren, afbeeldingen van de telescoop en chemische formules.
Ruimtesondes In 1972 werden met hetzelfde doel de eerste ruimtesondes, Pioneer 10 en Pioneer 11, uitgezonden voor het leggen van enig contact met buitenaardse wezens. Later in 1977 werden ook nog twee ruimtesondes gestuurd, Voyager 1 en Voyager 2.
Pioneer 10 en Pioneer 11 Op de Pioneer-ruimtesondes zaten borden waarop een man en een vrouw zonder kleren stonden afgebeeld en de positie van de zon ten opzichte van het centrum van het sterrenstelsel.
Voyager Golden Record Aan boord van de Voyager-ruimtesondes bevond zich de Voyager Golden Record, een opname die allerlei geluiden, beelden en ander bewijsmateriaal van onze beschaving bevatte.
Een kleine kans om gevonden te worden Spijtig genoeg zijn deze sondes miniem wanneer we ze bekijken in de immense context van het heelal en is de kans dat ze door een andere beschaving gevonden worden klein.
Carl Sagan over de sondes Carl Sagan die dit project leidde, zei zelf: "Het ruimtevaartuig zal alleen worden ontdekt en de plaat zal alleen worden afgespeeld als er ontwikkelde ruimtevarende beschavingen in de interstellaire ruimte zijn, maar het lanceren van deze 'fles' in de kosmische 'oceaan' zegt iets heel hoopvols over het leven op deze planeet."
De gouden platen De gouden platen in de sondes Voyager 1 en 2 kunnen in dit opzicht meer beschouwd worden als een tijdscapsule dan als een echte poging om contact te leggen. Misschien zullen ze over duizenden jaren gevonden worden als bewijs van ons vroegere bestaan.
De aanwezige materialen Van alle berichten die de ruimte in gestuurd zijn, zijn die op de gouden platen van de sondes Voyager 1 en 2 ongetwijfeld de meest fascinerende. Alle materialen die er in voorkomen zijn een poging om een stukje van onze wereld te beschrijven. Laten we eens wat voorbeelden bekijken.
Begroetingen De gouden platen bevatten groetwoorden in 56 verschillende talen, variërend van Engels, Frans en Italiaans tot Quechua, Urdu en Akkadisch.
Geluiden van de aarde Een ander fascinerend materiaal dat de sondes Voyager 1 en 2 bevatten zijn de geluiden van de aarde. Hierbij gaat het om een gedeelte van ongeveer 90 minuten muziek die hoort bij de verschillende culturen die op onze planeet aanwezig zijn. Muziek met onder andere werken van componisten als J.S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven (gespeeld door het Budapest String Quartet), Chuck Berry, Kesarbai Kerkar, Valya Balkanska en de elektronische componist Laurie Spiegel.
The Beatles zaten er niet bij! Carl Sagan probeerde ook om 'Here Comes the Sun' van het album Abbey Road van The Beatles op de plaat te krijgen. Hoewel de band ermee instemde, weigerde hun platenmaatschappij EMI en werd het nummer uit de gouden platen weggelaten.
Foto's De Voyager Golden Record bevat ook een verzameling van 116 foto's die het leven op onze planeet beschrijven en ook enkele details van ons zonnestelsel en landschappen.
Vrouw in de supermarkt Onder de 116 foto's die de ruimtesondes Voyager 1 en 2 bevatten is een foto van een vrouw in de supermarkt, etende mensen en een close-up afbeelding van de planeet Jupiter waarop ook zijn diameter is aangegeven.
Newton Bladzijde 6 uit het 3e volumen van Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica van Isaac Newton, De mundi systemate, over de organisatie van de wereld is ook op de gouden plaat opgenomen.
Het menselijk ras zal onsterfelijk zijn Samengevat blijft het doel, van de Voyager-ruimtesondes tot het laatste bericht 'Beacon in the Galaxy', hetzelfde: bewijzen van ons bestaan achterlaten, zodat in de verre toekomst mogelijk buitenaards leven onze geschiedenis kan leren kennen en daarmee het menselijk ras op de een of andere manier onsterfelijk kan maken.

Former US Air Force officer Robert Salas recently stirred conversation during a congressional hearing when he suggested that extraterrestrials are trying to send a clear, three-word message regarding nuclear weapons: “WTF.”
Salas, who served as a USAF captain, shared his views in a discussion with Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
The exchange was recorded during a special hearing on UFOs and later shared on social media by the Total Disclosure Podcast.
Salas’s comments drew attention as he recounted incidents where unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were seen near nuclear facilities around the world.
UFO encounter
According to Salas, these UFO sightings did not inflict any serious damage on the weapons systems but did disrupt their navigation systems.
When asked what he believed the extraterrestrial visitors were trying to communicate, he interpreted it as a critique of nuclear armaments: “To me, that says they were sending us a message about nuclear weapons: ‘WTF, nuclear weapons.'”
While he expressed regret for using strong language in front of Congresswoman Mace, she seemed unperturbed by his choice of words.
Salas’s remarks came amid ongoing discussions led by experts who argue that alien entities have made multiple visits to significant nuclear missile bases every year.
Aliens turned off ten nukes
One of the most striking claims from Salas is regarding an incident at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, where he alleged a UFO disabled ten warheads.
In this encounter, he described the UFO as having an eerie red glow as it sped through the night sky on March 24, 1967.
The then-26-year-old lieutenant reported that the UFO pilots appeared to have an in-depth understanding of the missile systems.
At the time of the incident, Malmstrom was in control of Minuteman I intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
Today, it operates the more advanced Minuteman III systems. In his exchange with Congresswoman Mace, Salas detailed how, despite the UFO shutting down the missiles, no damage occurred:
“No equipment was fried. Nothing was damaged,” he stated.
Salas believes the extraterrestrial visitors aren’t hostile but rather a “pacifist species,” implying their intention is peaceful rather than aggressive.
He explained that the shutdown was caused by an “intermittent electrical pulse,” which affected a component of the guidance system known as the logic coupler.
The missile’s guidance system failed without this part properly functioning properly, resulting in an automatic shutdown.
However, he noted that all missiles were restored to alert status within 24 hours.
This incident wasn’t isolated; Salas claimed his crew commander had experienced a similar encounter just eight days earlier.
He emphasized that in both situations, no significant damage was reported. Salas interprets these events as a clear message from the unknown visitors about the threats posed by nuclear weapons.
Furthermore, he revealed that he was bound by a non-disclosure agreement that restricted him from discussing the classified incident for years.
Salas’s name is well-known among those who believe in UFOs, also called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Many maintain that these entities have visited Earth for decades.
As discussions on UFOs and their implications for global security continue to unfold, Salas’s testimony adds a provocative perspective to the ongoing conversation about nuclear weapons and potential extraterrestrial awareness of human activities.
Het 'complot van de reptielenmensen' Legio mensen over de hele wereld geloven dat er een ras van reptielen bestaat met het vermogen om mensen te worden. Deze reptielenmensen zouden geïnfiltreerd zijn onder gewone mensen, zeggen complotdenkers als David Icke. Ook FVD-politicus Thierry Baudet zei erin te geloven.
Een grap of een gevaar? Het klinkt misschien als een grap, maar er zijn mensen die deze zaak heel serieus nemen. En dat baart niet alleen de volgers van deze theorie zorgen. De Nederlandse regering ontzegde David Icke onlangs de toegang tot het land omdat zijn complottheorie gevaarlijk en anti-Semitisch zou zijn. Hoe zit dat?
De oorsprong van reptielen We beginnen bij het begin: de oorsprong van de theorie over de reptielenmensen. Deze komt voort uit een discussie over de oorsprong van reptielen zelf. Sommige mensen denken dat ze de evolutie van een voormenselijk ras zijn, terwijl anderen geloven dat ze uit de ruimte komen.
Komen ze van de ster Alpha Draconis? Een van de meest ondersteunde theorieën door gelovigen in 'reptilianen' is degene die stelt dat ze afkomstig zijn van de ster Alpha Draconis, die zich in het sterrenbeeld Draak bevindt.
Of zijn het dinosauriërs die niet zijn uitgestorven? Anderen denken dat de reptilianen geëvolueerd zouden kunnen zijn van een dinosaurussoort die nooit echt is uitgestorven. Deze mensen bouwen (losjes) op de ideeën van Carl Sagan (foto) in het boek 'De Draken uit het Paradijs' ('The Dragons of Eden'). Hij won in 1978 de Pulitzer Prize voor dat boek.
Gesis van mensen net als van reptielen "Is het louter toeval dat de klanknabootsing die de mens uitzendt om stilte te vragen of de aandacht te trekken een griezelige gelijkenis vertoont met het gesis van reptielen?" vroeg Sagan zich af. De aanhangers van het reptielengeloof denken dat de wetenschapper met dit soort zinnen hun gelijk bewijst.
Ze bevinden zich onder ons Ondanks het feit dat er geen enkel bewijs is voor hun bestaan, schrijven de complotdenkers aan reptilianen een aantal bovenmenselijke krachten toe. Zo zouden ze zich van uiterlijk kunnen veranderen, allerlei camouflages aan kunnen nemen en zich kunnen verbergen tussen beroemdheden, royals en religieuze leiders.
David Icke, de ideoloog Het was David Icke, een voormalige Britse voetballer (voormalige Hereford United-doelman). die als schrijver in 1999 zijn theorie over de reptielenmens uit de doeken deed in zijn werk 'The Biggest Secret' ('Het grootste geheim').
Reptielen maken stiekem de dienst uit Hij twijfelt er niet aan dat reptielenmensen onder ons zijn en dat ze deel uitmaken van de elite die de wereld regeert. Zijn uitspraken hebben ervoor gezorgd dat Icke een gemeenschap van gelovigen om zich heen heeft verzameld, en ook een aardig fortuin.
Wat zegt Icke over reptielenmensen? Icke beweert dat de reptilianen onder ons leven met als doel om mensen tot slaaf te maken en de mensheid te onderwerpen. Dat klinkt ongelofelijk, belachelijk en daardoor onschuldig, maar volgens Professor Bart Wallet van de Universiteit van Amsterdam heeft die theorie veel overeenkomsten met anti-semitische denkwijzen.

Ook Joden soms als hagedissen gezien Wallet, professor in de Joodse studies, legde op Radio 1 uit dat de samenzweringstheorie van Icke "antisemitische gedachten en uitingen" bevat. Het idee van de reptielen is volgens hem gebaseerd op "een oud antisemitisch beeld waarbij Joden worden afgebeeld als slangen of hagedissen," aldus Radio 1.
Afbeelding: USC Shoah Foundation Yad Vashem, publiek domein
'Kwaden' die 'controle willen over de wereld' De reptielentheorie doet denken aan klassieke antisemitische schrijfsels zoals het pamflet op deze foto ('Het Joodse Gevaar,' toegeschreven aan de Rus Mathieu Golovinsky in 1938). In die schrijfsels worden Joden afgebeeld als onmenselijke wezens die gebrand zijn op wereldwijde dominantie. Zij zijn 'de kwaden,' zoals professor Wallet uitlegt, en alle andere mensen zijn 'de goeden.'
Andere (controversiële) uitspraken van David Icke Hoewel David Icke onschuldige opmerkingen heeft gemaakt, zoals de bewering dat hij de zoon van God zou zijn of dat de maan een kunstmatige constructie is, jagen zijn insinuaties tegen Joden toch veel mensen schrik aan. Volgens de BBC heeft hij onder meer valselijk beweerd dat het coronavirus door 5G-straling was verspreid en dat een Joodse groep daar achter zat.
Het geloof van de Hopi-indianen Om zijn beweringen te staven, vertrouwt David Icke naar eigen zeggen op een legende die circuleert onder de Hopi-indianen. Zij suggereerden dat er een reeks tunnels in Los Angeles was en dat deze zo'n 5.000 jaar geleden bewoond werd door een ras van hagedissen. In het jaar 1933 zei de mijningenieur G. Warren Shufelt zelfs dat hij de reptielenmensen had gevonden.
Bewijs van het verleden? Een andere auteur, de Amerikaan Scott Alan Roberts, die veel boeken over deze onderwerpen heeft geschreven, bouwt op mythologie en elementen van klassieke culturen om soortgelijke theorieën te bevestigen.
Atum, Quetzalcotl, Nahash... Zo is er bijvoorbeeld Atum, de Egyptische slangenmens; Quetzalcotl, de slangengod van de Maya's; Enki/Ea, de dubbele helix-slang uit de oude Sumerische literatuur; en de Bijbelse slang Nahash uit de Hof van Eden.
Regelmatig in popcultuur te zien De samenzweringstheorie, ongetwijfeld een van de meest wijdverbreide, is onderdeel geworden van de populaire cultuur over de hele wereld.
Zelfs op Netflix De derde aflevering van de animatieserie 'Inside Job' op Netflix, bijvoorbeeld, laat zien hoe Taylor Swift en wijlen koningin Elizabeth van Engeland midden op een feestje hun reptielachtige aard onthullen.
Koningin Elizabeth als een reptiel Het is niet verrassend dat de Britse koningin in de animatieserie als voorbeeld werd gebruikt. Ze is door complotdenkers altijd verdacht een reptiel te zijn.
Andere beroemde, zogenaamde reptielenmensen Ook Amerikaanse presidenten zoals Donald Trump en Barack Obama hebben altijd op de lijst van de zogenaamde reptielenmensen gestaan. Hetzelfde geldt voor Justin Bieber, over wie de Australische media in 2017 meldden dat hij midden op een vliegveld in een reptiel was veranderd...
Mark Zuckerberg, ook verdacht Je hoeft maar succesvol te zijn of macht te hebben en je wordt al verdacht een reptielenmens te zijn. Neem bijvoorbeeld Mark Zuckerberg, wiens gebaren en blikken door complotdenkers zijn geanalyseerd. Ze suggereren dat er iets onmenselijks is aan zijn manier van doen. De filmpjes en foto's die ze gebruiken om hun argument kracht bij te zetten zijn vaak bewerkt en nep.
Maar het is niet zomaar een curieuze 'hobby' Hoewel het lachwekkend lijkt en materiaal zou kunnen zijn voor een goede science-fictionserie, is er helaas meer aan de hand met de reptielenmensentheorie.
Echte gevolgen Het feit dat invloedrijke sprekers als David Icke de theorie inzetten om te suggereren dat er een complot wordt gesmeed door 'de kwaden' in de samenleving, waarbij ze eveneens suggereren dat Joodse elites de samenleving willen ontwrichten, kan ertoe leiden dat zijn volgers zich met geweld tegen die elites keren.
Icke mag Nederland niet meer in David Icke zou in november 2022 een toespraak geven op de Samen voor Nederland-demonstratie tegen het Covid-19-regeringsbeleid. Nadat de gemeente Amsterdam en justitie al hadden verzocht om hem af te zeggen wegens zijn "antisemitische en beledigende opmerkingen," besloot de Nederlandse regering uiteindelijk om de complotdenker uit het land te weren.
Ban van twee jaar David Icke mocht twee jaar lang Nederland niet inreizen, omdat zijn aanwezigheid in het land "spanningen tussen verschillende groepen [zou] veroorzaken en de publieke orde verstoren," aldus een brief geciteerd door de BBC. Aangezien Nederland met alle Schengenlanden verbonden is, kan Icke ook in al die andere landen niet terecht, aldus de BBC.
Ook Baudet zei erin te geloven Maar ook binnen Nederland geloven invloedrijke personen in deze complottheorie. Thierry Baudet haalde hem eerder in 2022 aan in een video op sociale media. Later relativeerde hij zijn verhaal met de opmerking dat hij 'reptielen' figuurlijk bedoelde en dat hij eigenlijk eerder bepaalde groepen mensen in gedachte had.
Een samenzwering van globalisten, zei Baudet Zijn verhaal was een "metafoor" voor "een samenzwering achter de schermen van globalisten, geheime diensten, psychopaten, waardoor de democratie en de vrijheid verdwijnt," twitterde het tweede kamerlid. Maar dat maakt het natuurlijk niet veel beter.
Gevaarlijke woorden Buiten het feit dat 'globalisten' bekend staat als een codewoord voor 'Joden,' is de complottheorie van Baudet niet op feiten gebaseerd en ook nog eens gevaarlijk omdat hij zo veel volgers heeft. Zij zouden erdoor aangemoedigd kunnen worden om met gewelddadige acties in 'opstand' te komen.
Surely everyone has heard that reptilians from outer space secretly influence our lives. But from which star did they arrive? How long have humans known about them? And why are they hostile toward us? In this article, we will reveal the whole truth about them.
What do you know about reptilians? Source: www.craiyon.com
Secrets of history
Reptilians are aliens from outer space who look like humanoids with green reptilian skin, snake-like eyes, and often forked tongues. They are very skilled at disguising themselves as humans, including famous people, and are plotting a global conspiracy. However, brave fighters for the truth are still exposing them.
You have almost certainly heard something like this at least once in your life. Of course, it is nonsense. However, thousands and millions of people believe it. And so the question immediately arises: is there any truth behind all these stories, and if not, where did they come from in the first place?
It is worth starting with the fact that the image of the reptilian, as we know it, is unknown to any ancient mythology, at least among those that have been well studied. They feature reptilian humans such as the ancient Lamia or the Nāgas of Southeast Asia, but they have nothing in common with anthropoids completely covered in green skin. These are creatures with a human torso and a snake’s body instead of legs.

Therefore, all references to ancient legends that supporters of the theory about them may use are fiction from beginning to end. The Russian writer Helena Blavatsky was the first to write about reptilian humans in the modern sense in the second half of the 19th century. Her work became the basis for practically all pseudoscientists and mystics – from those who worked in the Third Reich to those who are now creating content on this topic on TikTok.
However, the main theme of Blavatsky’s books is a fierce mixture of mysticism and science about the world spirit that guides the development of civilizations through the repetition of cosmic cycles. As a result, the writer developed a theory of changing races on Earth, which arise in turn, reach the peak of development, and then decline.
And in this context, she mentions the previous race of dragon people who once existed on the continent of Lemuria, now submerged in the Indian Ocean. It should be noted that she honestly borrowed the name and concept of this land from contemporary scientists who, in the absence of the theory of lithospheric plate movement, could not explain why lemurs and some other fauna are found in Madagascar and Southeast Asia, but nothing similar exists in much closer Africa.
Lemuria, as it was imagined. Source: www.gaia.com
All this was explained by a piece of land named after lemurs. In science, this theory quickly became marginalized, but Blavatsky was not concerned. Why did she populate Lemuria with reptiles? It is quite possible that the image of dinosaurs, which were actively being discovered at that time and were very fashionable, played a role in this.
It was from her that humanity first learned that dragon people are hostile to ordinary people. The reason for this is that although their continent sank, they do not want to die out and are doing everything they can to harm us, because we are reaching the peak of our power. Blavatsky calls the Jews the descendants of the reptilians from Lemuria.
n other words, the global conspiracy against all of humanity in the reptilian myth appeared earlier than the space theme. And, of course, the key role in its further spread was played by the very assertion that Jews were involved in all this, because anti-Semitism in Europe at that time was much more widespread than knowledge of Eastern mystical practices, which Blavatsky shamelessly distorted.

Reptilians in books and on screen
While Blavatsky’s readers were busy exterminating Jews, the reptilian myth existed somewhere on the periphery of their consciousness. They had much more mundane arguments to justify mass murder.
Meanwhile, the image of the reptilian human has permeated popular culture. The first reptilian was described in 1929 by the “father” of Conan the Destroyer, American writer Robert Howard. However, his creatures are still more in line with ancient traditions: they have human bodies and several snake heads, but, in the spirit of Blavatsky and her modern followers, they can disguise themselves as humans and enter their subconscious.

Later, the image of reptilians as creatures who came to us from space with hostile intentions developed in science fiction. For example, the Gorns from Star Trek and the Kh’harnis from Edmond Hamilton’s Return from the Stars are typical reptilians. The latter can even get inside their victims’ heads. The only thing is that no one associated them with Jews and a global conspiracy. However, it was science fiction that made the image of reptilians world-famous and familiar to millions of people, which, from the very beginning, did not claim to be the truth about who really controls our lives.
David Icke
Meanwhile, in 1940, American occultist Claude Doggins, who wrote under the pseudonym Maurice Doril, independently of science fiction writers, invented the reptilians we are familiar with, with green skin and a single head, like a lizard. His creation, which he claimed to have found under the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, was called “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean”.
In this collection of pseudo-myths, clearly written under the influence of Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine, reptilians already travel in “flying saucers” and conspire with the Antichrist. However, initially they were not identified with space, but lived in a giant cavity which, according to Doggins, occupies the entire interior of the Earth, and scientists are hiding this fact. It was only in the 1950s, amid the wave of enthusiasm for flying saucers, that he finally recognized them as extraterrestrials.
It should be noted that none of the authors described above identified reptilians with the Anunnaki, which is common practice today. In the mid-20th century, this was a completely independent esoteric theory developed by Zecharia Sitchin. Unlike reptilians, the Anunnaki were aliens from outer space from the very beginning, but they were not reptilians and were not plotting global conspiracies at that time.

However, the Emerald Tablets would have remained little known if Doggins had not found a talented follower – David Icke. Like all his predecessors, he had (and still has) no connection to science. Before becoming interested in the mysteries of the Universe, he was a soccer player, then a soccer commentator, then a spokesperson for the Green Party (the Greens! Could this be a coincidence? Reptilians also have green skin!).
All this did not prevent him in the early 1990s from combining in his teachings not only the works of Doggins, Sitchin, and Blavatsky, but also the popular fantasy image of the reptilian, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and many other conspiracy theories. Perhaps it is this broad coverage of the most popular fictions that explains the success of reptilians as a modern myth.
Reptilians and Astronomy
It is also thanks to Aiku that we can pinpoint not only the place on Earth, but also the place in the sky from which the reptilians came. In his early works, he names the star Alpha Draconis, or Thuban, as their historical homeland.
Here, he seems to be referring to Blavatsky, who also calls reptilians “dragon people”. However, from an astronomical point of view, it is much more important that this is a real celestial body, which 4,500 years ago was indeed closest to the North Pole and is located 303 light-years away from us.
But you won’t find the ancestral home of a race millions of years older than humanity near this star. The thing is, it is actually a system of two white stars orbiting each other every 51 days.
The masses of the components are 3.2 and 2.4 times that of the Sun, and their luminosities are 240 and 48 times that of our star, respectively. Even if there is a planet in the system, life on it simply did not have time to develop, because the age of the system is about 300 million years.
On the other hand, David Icke later increasingly referred to the planet Nibiru as the homeland of the reptilians, which modern astronomers cannot find, but which, in his opinion, was well known to ancient civilizations.

You can read more about Nibiru in this article. Suffice it to say that Icke, following Sitchin, repeats that this celestial body has a perihelion between Mars and Jupiter and an orbital period of 3,600 years.
If such a celestial body really existed in the Solar System and was to pass its perihelion within the next 50 years, it would already be only a few dozen astronomical units away from the Sun, and astronomers would have discovered it long ago – it would be impossible to hide such a thing.
In general, it can be summarized that the myth of reptilians from space is a relatively new phenomenon, which from the very beginning has been linked to earthly conflicts, while its connection to space remains rather arbitrary. Like most similar theories, it is a layer of fiction that should be dealt with by cultural studies, not astronomy.
On September 15, 1950, a remarkable interview took place in Washington, D.C., but it remained classified until the early 1980s, when Canadian UFO researcher Arthur Bray discovered a memo written by Canadian engineer Wilbert B. Smith that discussed an alleged UFO crash rumor confirmed by a former student of Einstein, Dr. Robert Irving Sarbacher.
Dr. Sarbacher (1907-1986) was a preeminent scientist. He went to Harvard and was Dean of the Graduate School, Director of Research at Wedd Laboratories, a successful inventor, and a Scientific Consultant to the U.S. Marines and government agencies. He was also connected to the Joint Research and Development Board (JRDB) of the US Department of Defense. He did a lot of research on rockets that could be controlled from a distance. Later, he would start the Washington Institute of Technology. (Source)
In the 1980s, Dr. Sarbacher confirmed several facts about UFOs and ET to researchers William Steinman, Stan Freidman, Jerry Clark, and William Moore. He said that he had been officially told about the crash of an extraterrestrial craft in the Southwest in the early 1950s. This crash may have been the Roswell UFO crash, or it may have happened at a different time. (Source)
He confirmed to them (as well as to Wilbert Smith three decades before) that the issue was classified as more important than the development of the Atom Bomb. According to him, the debris was both incredibly light and highly durable. He understood that the aliens were lightweight and constructed somewhat like insects. He stated that a limited group of individuals, including Von Braun, Vannevar Bush, Oppenheimer, and Eric Walker, were likely involved in the crash debris analysis. They were unsuccessful in their attempts to reverse-engineer the technology.
Back in 1983, William Steinman, the author of the book “UFO Crash: Aztec, New Mexico, March 1948,” wanted to talk to Sarbacher about UFOs and dead aliens. He tried to get in touch with him and start a conversation. Steinman received a reply from Sarbacher in an amazing way. Sarbacher wrote him the following in a letter: (Source)
“Dear Mr. Steinman: I am sorry I have taken so long in answering your letters. However, I have moved my office and have had to make a number of extended trips. To answer your last question in your letter of October 14, 1983, there is no particular reason I feel I shouldn’t or couldn’t answer any and all of your questions. I am delighted to answer all of them to the best of my ability. You listed some of your questions in your letter of September 12th. I will attempt to answer them as you had listed them.
1. Relating to my own experience regarding recovered flying saucers, I had no association with any of the people involved in the recovery and have no knowledge regarding the dates of the recoveries. If I had I would send it to you. 2. Regarding verification that persons you list were involved, I can say only this: John von Neuman was definitely involved. Dr. Vannevar Bush was definitely involved, and I think Dr. Robert Oppenheimer also.
My association with the Research and Development Board under Doctor Compton during the Eisenhower administration was rather limited. o although I had been invited to participate in several discussions associated with the reported recoveries, I could not personally attend the meetings. I am sure that they would have asked Dr. von Braun, and the others that you listed were probably asked and may or may not have attended. This is all I know for sure.
3. I did receive some official reports when I was in my office at the Pentagon but all of these were left there as at the time we were never supposed to take them out of the office. 4. I do not recall receiving any photographs such as your request so I am not in a position to answer. 5. I have to make the same reply as on No. 4.
I recall the interview with Dr. Brenner of the Canadian Embassy. I think the answers I gave him were the ones you listed. Naturally, I was more familiar with the subject matter under discussion, at that time. Actually, I would have been able to give more specific answers had I attended the meetings concerning the subject. You must understand that I took this assignment as a private contribution. We were called “dollar-a-year men. My first responsibility was the maintenance of my own business activity so that my participation was limited.
About the only thing I remember at this time is that certain materials reported to have come from flying saucer crashes were extremely light and very tough. I am sure our laboratories analyzed them very carefully.
There were reports that instruments or people operating these machines were also of very light weight, sufficient to withstand the tremendous deceleration and acceleration associated with their machinery. I remember in talking with some of the people at the office that I got the impression these “aliens” were constructed like certain insects we have observed on earth, wherein because of the low mass the inertial forces involved in operation of these instruments would be quite low.
I still do not know why the high order of classification has been given and why the denial of the existence of these devices. I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I suggest you get in touch with the others who may be directly involved in this program.”
According to UFO researcher Anthony Bragalia, researcher D.M. Duncan located Sarbacher’s son, Robert Sarbacher Jr., living in Texas. Duncan had a revealing dialogue with Sarbacher. It turned out that the younger Sarbacher had once questioned his father about the UFO phenomena. His father spoke sparingly about the saucer subject. (Source)
Sarbacher Jr. said of his father: “He knew that they were real for the obvious reason that they would be going 600 mph and then make a direct 90-degree turn in mid-air without slowing down… separated from all inertia and gravity. Dad said that the reason he was called in was to build the right kind of missile to track these things since they were way too fast for any of our planes to catch. They wanted the missile to not destroy any of the UFOs, but to be able to track them. So Dad had cameras installed (like on the V-2 rockets) so when the UFO comes into our air space we would shoot missiles at them with cameras on them, since only a missile could keep up with the speed turns.”
Stunned at the revelation, Duncan wanted to clarify this, and Sarbacher’s son replied, “Yes, exactly to track UFOs, or rather to photograph and watch them… When he first told me about the missiles… the first thing I thought was, what? You were trying to destroy them? He (Sarbacher Sr.) said very normally and matter of factly, ‘No, we put cameras on the end of them.'”
Sarbacher never changed his story, and he resisted the urge to expound or make assumptions. Everyone who spoke with him was impressed. However, his statement could not be corroborated because all of the people he mentioned had passed away. It was the summer of 1986 when Sarbacher passed away.
Whitley Strieber, born in Texas, United States, is a famous author known for his thought-provoking horror fiction. Strieber wrote a novel called The Wolfen, which later became a popular film in 1980. However, it was his book Communion that garnered significant attention, particularly from the UFO community. His book changed this dynamic almost instantly, attracting widespread interest beyond the usual UFOlogy circles
Strieber’s writings have been adapted into various movies and TV shows, contributing to his global acclaim as a best-selling author. However, his popularity soared after the publication of “Communion” in 1987, a non-fiction novel detailing his encounter with non-human intelligent beings. The book became a major success, reaching the No. 1 spot on The New York Times’ non-fiction bestseller list.
In 1989, a film adaptation of “Communion” was released, featuring actors Christopher Walken and Lindsay Crouse. The author’s real encounter with aliens happened on December 26, 1985, when he was sleeping alone in his cabin in the woods, upstate New York. That night, Strieber was awakened by an unusual noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw a small alien creature approaching his bed.
“Throughout the world, there is a certain type of face, a being that’s seen again and again and again. With a long, thin face and big black eyes, sometimes the head seems quite big, as in the Betty Andreas case. In others, like in my case, they seem smaller, and the beings are taller. But that basic configuration, that basic sort of non-human configuration, seems to be repeated again and again and again in experiences all over the world,” Strieber said.

The next thing Strieber remembered was finding himself sitting in the surrounding woods with fragmented memories of what had transpired. To uncover the truth and regain his memories, he decided to undergo regressive hypnosis administered by Dr. Donald F. Klein. He recalled he had been abducted and physically assaulted by someone whom he designated as “Visitors” to keep the possibility of extraterrestrials’ involvement low.
Under hypnosis, Strieber recalled being “floated” out of his bedroom and taken aboard a UFO. During this experience, he encountered four different types of alien beings: a small robot-like being, a short and stocky type, a slender one, and a weak-looking being. Whatever he had recalled in the hypnosis became the story of his best-selling novel. Since that night, he was full of curiosity about the unknown visitors.
Strieber described that one of the beings had captivating black slanted eyes, while the last being had black button eyes. He further said that he underwent medical experiments conducted by those extraterrestrial beings. The experiments included a needle being inserted into his brain and an object being inserted into his rectum. Additionally, the beings extracted a blood sample from him by making an incision in his finger, indicating a series of invasive procedures.
As a result of the bizarre incidents described, Dr. Klein diagnosed Strieber with “temporal lobe epilepsy,” a condition known to cause hallucinations. However, Strieber did not accept this diagnosis and continued to claim that his abduction was a real experience. In fact, he went on to establish a foundation to provide support for other individuals who claimed to have been abducted by aliens, forming a support group for alien abductees.

In 1998, Strieber had another strange encounter at the Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto. He was awakened at 2:30 in the morning by a knock at the door, expecting room service, but instead found a mysterious man. Stieber told the Huffington Post: “I got up to open the door, thinking it was the room service waiter. It was not. It was a man I described as about 5 and a half feet tall, older-looking, like someone in his 70s. He wore dark-colored clothing, a turtleneck, and charcoal slacks.”
Strieber described this encounter in his book “The Key: A True Encounter,” published in 2000. The stranger engaged Strieber in a conversation about life lessons, science, and ethics. He expressed a desire to help humanity escape from a cycle of violence and self-destruction. When asked about technology, the stranger mentioned that an intelligent machine would continually seek to enhance its intelligence for survival. The conversation touched upon various topics, including the existence of multiple universes and catastrophic events in Earth’s history.
During the 45-minute conversation, Strieber grew increasingly curious and asked many questions. However, at one point, the stranger offered him a drink, which caused him to fall asleep immediately. The stranger’s true identity remains unknown, leaving Strieber contemplating the future of humanity and the undiscovered realms of science.
While many people remain skeptical about Strieber’s claim of alien abduction, John B. Alexander, a former Green Beret Commander and weapons developer, has regarded Strieber as an intelligent and thoughtful researcher in the field.
Author Whitley Strieber approached the subject of alien abductions differently than his contemporaries in the 1980s. While others focused on the idea that extraterrestrial scientists were stealing human DNA, Strieber delved into the controversial aspects of his own experiences with what he called the Visitors. He used this term because he was not sure if his captors were truly alien in the conventional sense. Strieber believed they might represent something beyond human comprehension.
In his book “Transformation,” a sequel to “Communion,” Strieber explored traumatic encounters of abductees who believed the Visitors (also known as Greys) had the ability to extract the immortal human soul from the physical body. He received a response from the Visitors, explaining that they recycled souls and that Earth was like a school where souls learn, grow, and evolve through successive reincarnations.
Strieber’s realization that the abduction phenomenon was stranger than initially thought was shared by Harvard professorJohn E. Mack. Mack encountered abductees who believed the entities they encountered were soul-stealers. In Mack’s book “Passport to the Cosmos,” he recounted the story of an abductee named Greg who feared being separated from his soul, believing it would lead to the end of his consciousness and existence.
