US Congresswoman Claims She Saw Photo Evidence Of UFO Technology Not Made By Humans

During the July 2023 UAP hearings, US Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna was the central figure in bringing the historical testimony of three whistleblowers. She is pushing hard to get the truth to the public and says she will not stop until they get to the bottom of the UFO mystery, and she will take drastic measures, including the potential withdrawal of funding for the salaries of the Pentagon executives.

Rep. Luna, who is also a member of the House Oversight Committee, said that she became interested in UFOs when serving in the US Air Force. She revealed that she is asking the Defense Department and intelligence agencies for the classified reports that Grusch made, including his alleged evidence.

David Grusch testified that the U.S. government has been hiding a long-running program that retrieves and reverse engineers UFOs/UAPs. He firmly believes that the U.S. government possessed UAPs based on interviews with over 40 witnesses spanning four years and claimed to have exact knowledge of UAP locations. He reportedly shared this information with the Inspector General and intelligence committees.

Grusch revealed in the hearings that he personally interviewed individuals with direct knowledge of non-human origin craft, and he has knowledge of non-human intelligence, but not of collaboration with adversarial foreign governments. He could not openly discuss “intact 

During the hearing, Luna queries Grusch about his choice of terminology, using “nonhuman origin” instead of “extraterrestrial.” Her involvement with the UAP matter began when she was approached by Representative Matt Gaetz, and she expressed concern after reviewing evidence from a UAP encounter off the coast of Florida.

Luna and Representative Tim Burchett organized a hearing aimed at increasing transparency on this matter. She calls for the release of classified documents related to UAPs and rejects the idea of dismissing the issue.

Luna is concerned about the stigma that prevents service members from reporting UAP sightings out of fear for their careers. She asked Grusch if he had ever been in fear for his life due to addressing these issues, to which he responded affirmatively. Luna emphasized the significance of Grusch’s willingness to come forward despite the fear of reprisal.

Luna stresses the bipartisan nature of the investigation, involving various House members from different states and affiliations. She, Gaetz, Moskowitz, and Burchett even sent a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy requesting the establishment of a select committee to investigate UAPs. Luna’s underlying message revolves around the necessity of transparency, accountability, and addressing potential national security risks posed by unidentified aerial phenomena.

In an interview with FOX 13, Rep. Luna said: “It does appear, and for what I’m saying, based on the stonewalling, that they are hiding something. If these are programs that are being set up without congressional oversight and are responsible for, you know, billions of dollars being lost, that could be going towards other things. I think that that’s something that absolutely is pertinent.”

During the hearings, extraordinary claims were presented, including the recovery of “non-human biologics” from a crashed aerial craft. Although Rep. Luna herself has not witnessed a UAP, she mentioned having observed evidence that seemed reminiscent of science fiction.

Drawing from her experience, she explained: “Based on the evidence that I have personally seen, the technology that exists is something that I don’t think any government has currently.” She recalled encountering a photograph and conversing with pilots about an object that she believes is beyond the capabilities of the Department of Defense.

Rep. Luna is actively working to declassify the photograph and to bring more information to light. She highlighted the dual importance of this matter, characterizing it as both a significant national security concern and a transparency issue within the government.

Luna finds this situation disturbing, especially since Grusch shared information suggesting threats to his life, harm caused to individuals, and advanced technology that is not publicly known. Despite Luna and Rep. Tim Burchett having “Need To Know” clearances, they were not granted access to this information, which prompts Luna to express the urgent need to uncover the truth.

Luna revealed that her interest in UFOs was first piqued while serving as an Air Force airfield manager at Portland Air National Guard Base, Oregon, in 2018, before becoming a politician.

“During shifts one day, there had been a response from some of the pilots to something that had violated our airspace…When they got back, I asked them what happened. They said ‘we can’t really talk about it.’ Later on, one of the pilots pulled me aside and was like, we think it might have been a UFO or UAP. This was a pretty credible person, I obviously knew them to be sane, of sound mind,” she said.

A lot more information is hidden, as Whistleblower Ryan Graves confirms in his latest Newsweek edition. He writes “What I Told Them Was the Tip of the Iceberg.” Graves, who is a founder of “Americans for Safe Aerospace,” the fastest-growing UAP nonprofit in the world, writes that during his tenure as a Naval pilot, he and his team regularly encountered aircraft off the coast of Virginia Beach that “had no visible propulsion… but could remain motionless in Category-4 hurricane winds, accelerate to supersonic, and operate all day, outlasting our fighter jets.”

Graves highlights the lack of a direct reporting process within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for commercial pilots to report these phenomena, leading to stigma, fear of retaliation, and a reluctance to come forward. Graves questions why the government is not taking these reports more seriously, especially when experienced pilots are witnessing routine and unexplained occurrences. He calls for increased attention and awareness of the UAP issue to ensure flight safety and national security.

The Hill will host an event on August 17, 2023, featuring discussions among lawmakers, experts, and administration officials to analyze potential national security risks related to UAPs. The speakers include Rep. Tim Burchett, Greg Eghigian of Pennsylvania State University, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, with the event being moderated by Mychael Schnell, a Congressional Reporter from The Hill.

2006 Chicago O’Hare UFO Sighting: 22ft Long Alien Craft Witnessed by Many

The UFO event over Chicago’s O’Hare Airport in 2006 is one of the most intriguing UFO sightings in recent history. Despite being unremarkable as far as UFO sightings go, the reaction of the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was anything but ordinary, suggesting some type of cover-up between the implicated authorities.

On November 7, 2006, United Airlines Flight 446 was preparing to depart from O’Hare International to North Carolina when a dozen of airline employees, including mechanics and pilots, spotted a gray and metallic saucer-like object hovering above Gate C17 of the United terminal. The object remained there for several minutes before flying off into the clouds at an unnatural speed. This event was captured in official FAA audio recordings, with a United controller and a colleague discussing the sighting.

The disc was estimated to be at least 22 feet in diameter and hovered around 1,500 feet off the ground, below a heavy cloud cover at 1,900 feet. One grounded pilot announced his sightings over the radio, alerting a taxi mechanic and several other pilots to the presence of the object. At least two grounded pilots were able to lean out of their cockpit windows and see the object in great detail.

The story of the O’Hare UFO incident went almost completely unnoticed until the Chicago Tribune published an article on December 31, 2006, nearly two months after the incident. The story became the highest-hitting article in the website’s history, and other news outlets picked up the story as well.

Jon Hilkevitch, a transportation reporter with the Chicago Tribune, started interviewing the witnesses. Initially, both the FAA and United Airlines denied any knowledge of the event but were forced to admit that this was a lie when an audio tape was leaked to the press that captured a United Airlines radio conversation on the date of the event.

The FAA supervisor identified as “Sue” was asking several controllers at O’Hare if they had seen a flying disc over gate C-17. They initially laughed off the question, but she called back 15 minutes later to confirm that several pilots had seen the disc and that one had captured a photograph of it. Unfortunately, this alleged photograph has never surfaced.

The tape also recorded the control tower operators warning outgoing planes of the UFO and advising them to be cautious. Even in the wake of the tape, United Airlines and the FAA continued to brush off the incident. The airline prohibited any employees from discussing the incident with the media.

However, after the Chicago Tribune article compelled them to address the situation, a spokesperson from the FAA claimed that the alleged disc was nothing but the reflection of airport lights off the low cloud cover. However, this explanation was unconvincing, as the sighting occurred in daylight, before any of the airport’s lights were turned on.

• Top Scientists Told US Congressman That Extraterrestrial Craft Are In Our Airspace

Despite the assertions of several credible witnesses, the airline and the FAA declined to investigate the matter further and wrote it off as a rare weather phenomenon known as a fallstreak or “hole-punch cloud.” However, Mark Rodeghier, the director for the Center for UFO Studies Scientific Director, did not accept this explanation and stated:

“It’s an unknown object over O’Hare, and it’s seen by official personnel and does United or the FAA take it seriously? Of course not, they have zero interest because UFOs can’t exist. But how can you not worry about something hovering over an airport after 9/11? It doesn’t make sense.”

This explanation did not stand up to reason too, as journalist Leslie Kean soon discovered. Hole-punched clouds form, when ice crystals from higher clouds fall down through a lower cloud shelf, punch a hole in it, and evaporate in the warm air below, only forming in below-freezing temperatures. The air at the altitude of the sighting on the day in question was 53 degrees Fahrenheit, which was above freezing.

Despite the FAA’s lack of interest in the O’Hare UFO incident, an independent investigation group called NARC conducted their own research. The team of former NASA scientists, pilots, meteorologists, and aerospace engineers, among others, prepared a 154-page report that confirmed the presence of a physical object over O’Hare. The report stated that the object’s maneuvers could not be explained by conventional means and advised the FAA to launch their own investigation. However, to this day, the FAA has not acted upon this recommendation. (Source)

“There have been documented cases where safety appears to have been implicated, and more and more we are coming to the point of view that we are dealing with an intelligent phenomenon. We must be proactive before an aircraft goes down,” said Richard Haines, a former chief of the Space Human Factors Office at NASA’s Ames Research Center.

The reaction of the airline and the FAA in the aftermath of the incident suggests some type of cover-up between the implicated authorities. The airline prohibited its employees from sharing the details of the incident, and the FAA provided unconvincing explanations for the UFO sighting, such as the reflection of airport lights off low cloud cover or a misidentified weather phenomenon. These explanations were quickly debunked by journalists and independent investigators.

Jon Hilkevitch emphasized how unusual it is for the FAA to ignore such a significant UFO sighting. The FAA has launched investigations for far less extraordinary incidents, such as spilled coffee pots and airport aisles. This lack of interest in the O’Hare UFO incident raises questions about the extent of government involvement in hiding the truth about UFOs from the public.

The taxi mechanic described Chicago’s O’Hare UFO as follows:

“The craft appeared to be hovering right below the ceiling of the cloud cover (about 700 or 800 feet). The cloud ceiling that day was 1900 feet. The top of the craft was clearly outlined as a very dark gray material, but the bottom and the edges of the craft were hazy like when you see the mirage-like surface of the road on a hot day.

The other interesting observation was that after the craft accelerated straight up (observed by other witnesses), there was a hole punched in the clouds. The hole in the clouds was about the same size as the unidentified craft. It looked like a cookie cutter hole stamped out of dough ‘very similar in size’ to the craft. The hole stayed for a little while and then dissipated into the overcast clouds. The sighting lasted about 20 minutes from the time of the first radio call to the time when the mechanic and witness parked the Boeing 777 that he was taxiing across the airport.”

Reddit user Buddy_Felcher describes what he saw during the 2006 O’Hare Airport UFO sighting:

“I was working at American Airlines as a ramp service clerk at O’Hare when that thing came. I saw it, and only one other coworker saw it as well. And nobody believed me even after other airline workers said they saw it too. Until I heard other people saw it everyone had me convinced I was crazy…

Have you ever seen the movie flight of the navigator? That’s what it sort of looked like but also kind of like it was a chrome bubble of air or like the way invisible people in movies look when it’s raining on them. I only saw the latter part of it being there, the guy I worked with said it was solid grey at first and then changed to what I saw.” (Source)

Barack Obama shared 'truth' after being asked if he knew about existence of UFOs and Aliens

He said that once he became president he wanted to know the secrets

 Joe Harker

Perhaps that's why Barack Obama was once quizzed about exactly what he knew when it came to the secrets and mysteries of alien life.

In an appearance on The Late, Late Show With James Corden, the former US president was asked about 'dem aliens' by Reggie Watts and UFOs along with any theories he might have on it.

Obama kept things close to the chest as he joked that 'when it comes to aliens there are some things I just can't tell you on air' (that's suspicious) before opening up on his own extra-terrestrial interests.

He said: "The truth is that when I came into office I asked, I was like 'all right, is there a lab somewhere we're keeping the alien specimens and spaceship?'.

"They did a little bit of research and the answer was no."

However, don't be too discouraged all of you true believers out there, because perhaps he's just lying to protect the secrets of aliens and UFOs

Obama also said 'there's footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are', so as far as the official meaning of UFOs goes there are some flying objects which have remained unidentified.

He said that part about things in the sky which we can't figure out was 'true', saying 'we can't explain how they moved, their trajectory'.

The former president then joked that Watts was 'deflecting' and flipped things back on the musician by quipping that he could secretly be an alien to which Watts agreed.

Whether or not we're alone in the universe is an endless fascination for some people and the idea that we've already been visited by extra-terrestrial life which has left evidence behind is an obsession for some people.

If you really want to know what it is Barack Obama 'can't tell you on air' then perhaps you should try becoming president.

Are We Alone, or Have Aliens Already Found Us? Scientists Reveal the Signals We’re Sending

The study found that powerful planetary radar transmissions—such as those once sent from the Arecibo Observatory—could be spotted from up to 12,000 light-years away.

For decades, astronomers have searched for signs of alien civilizations, scanning the cosmos for radio signals or other “technosignatures.” But what if the roles were reversed? If an alien civilization had technology similar to ours, would they be able to detect Earth?

A groundbreaking study led by SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) scientists flips the script—analyzing which of humanity’s own signals could be visible from space and at what distances.

Could Aliens See or Hear Us? Here’s What the Science Says

While much of SETI’s work focuses on searching for extraterrestrial signals, this study looked at the issue from an entirely new perspective:

• What Earth-based signals are detectable from space?
• How far would an alien civilization need to be to pick them up?
• Which forms of technology—radio waves, pollution, city lights—would be most visible?

The Most Detectable Technosignature: Radio Signals

Among all human-made emissions, radio signals stand out as the most easily detectable. The study found that powerful planetary radar transmissions—such as those once sent from the Arecibo Observatory—could be spotted from up to 12,000 light-years away.

While this may sound promising for extraterrestrial detection, there’s a catch: Earth’s radio footprint is shrinking. As we move toward fiber-optic communication and less radio-intensive technologies, we’re emitting fewer powerful signals into space.

Could aliens already be listening to our past transmissions? If they exist within that 12,000 light-year range, they might already know we’re here.

Can Pollution in Our Atmosphere Be Detected?

Beyond radio waves, atmospheric pollution is another possible giveaway. Scientists looked at whether alien telescopes could detect Earth’s nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) emissions, a byproduct of fossil fuel combustion and industrial activity.

The results? Detection is difficult, even with the most powerful space telescopes.

The upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), a next-generation telescope in development, could potentially spot NO₂ emissions—but only from a maximum of 5.7 light-years away. That’s just slightly farther than Proxima Centauri, our closest stellar neighbor.

This means that if an Earth-like planet had pollution in its atmosphere, we would need to be very close to detect it. The same applies to aliens trying to spot us.

Would City Lights or Satellites Be Visible from Space?

What about artificial light? Could the glowing cities of Earth or our thousands of satellites be visible to alien observers?

The study found that while city lights, lasers, and satellites are obvious signs of technology, they are far too faint to be detected from astronomical distances.

However, if an alien probe were lurking nearby—within 100 million kilometers of Earth (about two-thirds of the way to the Sun)—it could spot artificial lights on our planet’s surface. This raises an interesting question: If we’re looking for alien civilizations, should we also be searching for possible probes in our own solar system?

What This Means for the Search for Alien Life

This study has major implications for SETI research:

• Refining how we search – By understanding what makes Earth detectable, we can better identify similar signals from distant exoplanets.
• A shift in focus – Instead of assuming advanced civilizations, we should also look for planets with technology at our level.
• A fresh perspective on Earth’s place in the cosmos – If an alien world has pollution or radio signals, they might be just like us—wondering if someone else is out there.

Dr. Sofia Sheikh, lead author of the study, explains: “One of the most satisfying aspects of this work was getting to use SETI as a cosmic mirror: what does Earth look like to the rest of the galaxy? And how would our current impacts on our planet be perceived.”

If intelligent life exists elsewhere, should we be actively broadcasting signals to let them know we’re here? Or is that too risky?

Within 24 hours, all systems were restored, but the implications of the incident lingered. Salas asserted that the UFO pilots demonstrated an alarming familiarity with advanced missile technology—an unsettling thought during the height of the Cold War.

Are Aliens Sending Us a Message?

“Are ya’ll dumb?”

When asked about the intent behind these encounters, Salas offered a provocative interpretation. He believes the extraterrestrial visitors are a pacifist species, intent on cautioning humanity about the dangers of nuclear weapons. Using candid language, Salas speculated, “They’re telling us, ‘WTF, nuclear weapons.’”

While he later apologized for his blunt phrasing, Salas’s message struck a chord. His testimony aligns with claims made by other experts who argue that UFOs have shown persistent interest in nuclear sites, often exhibiting behaviors that suggest advanced intelligence and deliberate intent.

Salas’s perspective is reinforced by another reported encounter just days before the Malmstrom incident. His crew commander allegedly witnessed a similar event at a different nuclear facility, further bolstering claims of a pattern in UFO behavior around missile sites.

A Hidden History

For years, Salas was bound by a non-disclosure agreement, preventing him from discussing these classified incidents publicly. However, with increasing interest in UFO phenomena—now officially referred to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)—Salas has become a prominent voice in the ongoing debate.

His testimony raises unsettling questions: Could extraterrestrial entities be monitoring humanity’s most dangerous technologies? If so, what does this mean for global security and our understanding of our place in the universe?

Salas’s claims, while controversial, add weight to the broader discussion about UAPs and their potential implications. As the search for answers continues, one thing is certain: the question of whether we are alone in the universe is more complex—and perhaps more urgent—than ever.

USAF Pilot Ordered To Destroy Aircraft Carrier-Sized UFO, Claiming It Was Alien Spaceship

In 2008, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) began disclosing the secret files concerning UFO/UAP phenomena that had been hidden for 50 years. The ministry’s recent release was in 2013. One astonishing incident, which was revealed in the MoD files, happened in 1957 over East Anglia, England. It involves the two U.S. fighter planes that were ordered to shoot down an aircraft carrier-sized UFO. (Archive Source)

The accounts of the incident were made public concerning the recollections of two retired pilots from the USAF 406th Fighter Interceptor Wing, which came to light when they met at a reunion at RAF Manston in 1988. One pilot said he was seconds away from firing 24 rockets at the object, which moved erratically and gave a radar reading like “a flying aircraft carrier.”

On May 20, 1957, 25-year-old USAF lieutenant Milton Torres was with the 514th Fighter Interceptor Squadron in the 406th Air Expeditionary Wing based at RAF Manston in Kent. Lt. Torres was the pilot of one of two F-86D jets at RAF Manston airfield when the incident occurred in the late evening on May 20.

Lt. Torres and the other pilot Dave Roberson were in the “alert shack” at RAF Manston when they received instructions to take to the air. The two pilots raced to their respective F-86Ds and took off well within the allotted five minutes.

Torres testified:

“I can remember the call to scramble quite clearly, however, I cannot remember specifics such as the actual vector to turn after take off. We were airborne well within the 5 minutes allotted to us, and basically scrambled to about Flight Level 310. Our vector took us out over the North Sea just east of East Anglia. Normally, Dave Roberson, the other member of the set of two fighters would be the lead ship. I can only suggest that I was leading due to an in-place turn of some sort.

I remember in quite specific terms talking as lead to the GCI3 site (whose call sign I cannot recall). I was advised of the situation quite clearly. The initial briefing indicated that the ground was observing for a considerable time a blip that was orbiting the East Anglia area.

There was very little movement and from my conversation with the GCI, all the normal procedures of checking with all the controlling agencies revealed that this was an unidentified flying object with very unusual flight patterns. In the initial briefing, it was suggested that the bogey was motionless for long intervals.

The instructions came to go ‘gate’ to expedite the intercept. Gate was the term used to use maximum power (in the case of the F86-D that meant full afterburner) and to proceed to an Initial Point at about 32,000 feet. By this time, my radar was on, and I was looking prematurely for the bogey.

The instructions came to report any visual observations, to which I replied ‘I’m in the soup and it’s impossible to see anything!’ The weather was probably high alto stratus, but between being over the North Sea and in the weather, no frame of reference was available, i.e. no stars, no lights, no silhouettes – in short nothing. GCI continued the vectoring and the dialogue describing the strange antics of the UFO.”

Aware that he was reaching the upper limit of his jet’s capabilities, Torres requested to come out of the afterburner, but ground control denied his request. At that time, he prepared to execute the order to “fire a full salvo of rockets at the UFO.” The F-86D carried 24 rockets that contained the power of a 75mm artillery shell.

As Torres prepared all 24 of his rockets for firing, he could hear the other F-86D pilot also responding to orders from ground control. “I wasn’t paying too much attention… but I clearly remember him giving a ‘Roger’ to all the transmissions. I can only suppose he was as busy as I was.”

Torres was given a final turning maneuver to execute and was told to look 30 degrees to port. His radar screen displayed the UFO at 30 degrees and about 15 miles distant. He said: “The blip was burning a hole in the radar with its incredible intensity. It was similar to a blip I had received from B-52s and seemed to be a magnet of light.”

According to Torres, the radar return “had the proportions of a flying aircraft carrier.” He added: “By that I mean the return on the radar was so strong that it could not be overlooked by the fire control system on the F-86D… The larger the airplane the easier the lock on. This blip almost locked itself… it was the best target I could ever remember locking on to. I had locked on in just a few seconds, and I locked on exactly 15 miles, which was the maximum range for lock on.”

Suddenly, Torres noticed that the object on the radar screen was moving. He was left with the impression that the UFO was moving at no less than Mach 10 (over 7,000 miles per hour) when it disappeared.

According to Torres, the UFO “didn’t follow classic Newtonian mechanics. It made a right turn almost on a dime. The (Royal Air Force radar) scope had a range of 250 miles. And after two sweeps, which took two seconds, it was gone. And I was flying almost at Mach 1.”

He returned to the base and was debriefed the next day by an unnamed man who “looked like a well-dressed IBM salesman.”

“He threatened me with a national security breach if I breathed a word about it to anyone,” Torres said.

The documents contain no official explanation for the incident, which came at a time of heightened tension between the West and the Soviet Union. Planes were on constant stand-by at British bases for a possible Soviet attack.

The files blame other UFO sightings on weather balloons, clouds or normal aircraft. Torres said he had been waiting for 50 years for an explanation. “I shall never forget it. On that night I was ordered to open fire even before I had taken off. That had never happened before.”

Speaking to Miles O’Brien of Cable News Network (CNN), Torres said he is convinced the UFO he had encountered was designed by an “alien” intelligence and was not manufactured on Earth. He also noted: “It was some kind of space alien craft. It was so fast, it was so incredible… it was absolutely death-defying.” (Source)

UFO expert David Clarke said the sighting may have been part of a secret U.S. project to create phantom aircraft on radar screens to test Soviet air defenses. “Perhaps what this pilot had seen was some kind of experiment in electronic warfare or maybe it was a UFO,” he said. “Something very unusual happened.”

One of the most celebrated and debated UFO incidents of all time took place in Rendlesham Forest near Suffolk, England just after Christmas in 1980. United States Air Force personnel stationed at two former Royal Air Force installations in the area, RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, told incredible stories about encounters with mysterious lights and metallic craft that seemed under intelligent control as they danced around and above the trees on the nights of December 26, 27 and 28 that year.

Now, an ex-detective and the author of a recently released book entitled Non-Human: The Rendlesham Forest Incidents: 42 Years of Denial, Gary Heseltine, is organizing a special tour. The Sun reported that the aim of this tour to take UFO enthusiasts and other curious souls deep into the heart of Rendlesham Forest, so they can visit the exact locations where these strange and unexplained events occurred over the course of three nights more than four decades ago.

On the nights of June 3 and 4, Heseltine will lead his tour group to various sites in the woods, as he relates the fascinating and frightening stories of the multiple witnesses to the UFO-related events that allegedly took place at those spots. It has been claimed that as many as 17 lighted objects were spotted by one or more witnesses, all of whom were serving in the US Air Force (USAF) at the time of the Rendlesham Forest incident.

Gary Heseltine and the Rendlesham Forest UFOs

Gary Heseltine is a retired British police constable and a UFO sightings field investigator who is currently the vice president of the International Coalition for Extra-terrestrial Research (ICER). He is widely recognized as one of the premier experts on the weird events reported at Rendlesham Forest.

Heseltine’s new book has been praised by readers and reviewers for the immense amount of detail it reveals about what the witnesses experienced and about how the US and UK militaries have apparently tried to cover up the truth about this astonishing incident. “The Rendlesham Forest incident has often been referred to as ‘Britain's Roswell’, and in terms of its significance in UFO history the comparison is well made,” Heseltine wrote in the introduction to his new book.

“However, I have to say that in many aspects the RFI, as it has become known, is very, very different in certain key areas,” he continued. “After almost 14 years of public research into the RFI, I can think of no other case that has been subject of so much disinformation and damaging internal witness ‘political’ infighting.”

Heseltine’s mission during his upcoming two-day summer tour will be to reveal the real story about the Rendlesham Forest incident. During the event, he aims to separate fact from fiction as relates to the supposed Unidentified Flying Object spotted there, not just for the benefit of the members of his tour group, but ultimately for the historical record as well.

The USAF abandoned the installations at Woodbridge and Bentwaters in the 1990s, and while the former was eventually converted to a British army base, the latter is now closed and is the site of a public park. Rendlesham Forest is now open to visitors and is quite heavily trafficked, by picnickers, hikers, cyclists and UFO and alien enthusiasts who can visit the park on their own to follow a nature trail that traces the path USAF personnel followed on the nights they were chasing UFOs.

Aliens, a Hoax or an Elaborate Prank?

It is fitting that the Rendlesham Forest incident is referred to as the British Roswell. The 1980 sightings on forest land adjacent to RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge have been vigorously discussed, debated and written about since the time they happened, and the alleged crash of a flying saucer near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 is the only UFO incident that has generated more public interest.

The list of men who wandered through the woods chasing the lights and looking for landed craft on those remarkable nights included deputy commander Charles Halt and enlisted men Larry Warren, John Burroughs and James Pennington. These individuals are the most well-known of the Rendlesham witnesses, as all have been extensively interviewed and all have written their own books about the subject.

Their stories differ in some of the details, and both skeptics and believers alike suspect there have been embellishments and distortions. Back in 2017, the Mirror reported that Larry Warren’s claims have proven especially controversial. Nevertheless, the eerie and otherworldly nature of their accounts is consistent.

Interestingly, many suspect the Rendlesham Forest incident was real but did not involve aliens. They believe the sightings may have been a high-level hoax coordinated by the USAF itself, as part of a military psy-op meant to test the reactions of Air Force personnel when confronted with what seemed to be a real alien invasion.

Some media reports on the Rendlesham incident, including an article about the UFO tour just published in the Daily Mail, have claimed that the purported alien invasion was actually a prank carried out by personnel from the British Army’s Special Air Service (SAS).

Was the Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident a Prank?

This claim comes from a letter sent to researcher David Clarke in 2018, purportedly from a former SAS airman who said he and others in his unit had concocted this elaborate hoax as a way to get revenge on US Air Force personnel for an earlier incident. It seems the Air Force men had treated them rudely following a secret security exercise that required SAS personnel to penetrate the defensive perimeter of the RAF Woodridge base without US Air Force permission.

To perpetrate their UFO prank, the individual from the SAS said he and his cohorts had rigged lights and shot off flairs in Rendlesham Forest. The also claimed they had used remote-controlled kites and black helium balloons to carry lighted materials up into the sky. “A great deal of nocturnal Christmas fun was had at the expense of the USAF — and the matter should have ended there,” the anonymous source wrote.

“Unfortunately, a senior US officer (Lt Col Halt) led the US contingent out into the forest on the second night and took along his tape recorder,” he continued when discussing the Rendlesham Forest events. “The hovering and whizzing lights were sufficiently impressive for him to send a report to the MoD.”

The letter writer told Clarke that the truth about the matter had been disclosed privately to the US Air Force, and that people at the highest levels in both the US and UK military knew what had really taken place.

• Unprecedented Citizen Hearing on Disclosure of Extraterrestrial Presence to take place in Washington
• ‘Clearest Photo Ever’ of a Huge UFO, Advanced Military Tech, Or Just A Rock In Water?

Many media sources, including the Daily Mail reporter, take this claim seriously and report it as a likely explanation for what happened at Rendlesham. But the Daily Mail failed to mention that David Clarke, who is an experienced professional journalist currently employed as an associate professor in the Media Arts and Communication Department at Sheffield Hallam University, investigated the claims of the anonymous letter writer and determined them to be without merit.

It seems the letter’s assertions about what had been done didn’t match the eyewitness testimony about what had been seen. Additionally, military sources Clarke contacted said that SAS personnel would not have been able to pull off such a prank on secure air force grounds without being quickly apprehended. Topping it all off, David Clarke received the anonymous letter on April 1st, leading him to conclude (quite reasonably) that the letter writer’s revelations were an April Fool’s Day joke.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident: The Truth is Out There

The truth about the events at Rendlesham Forest will likely never be established with 100-percent certainty. Even if insiders or whistle-blowers were to come forward to reveal exactly what happened, they probably wouldn’t be able to prove their claims. Their statements would undoubtedly be rejected by skeptics if they said the events were caused by aliens and by many UFO researchers if they said they weren’t.

The upcoming tour will be open to everyone, regardless of their opinions on the matter. With Gary Heseltine leading the way, they will have an educated and knowledgeable narrator to guide them. Although he personally believes in the possibility of alien visitation, he is perfectly content to allow each participant to draw their own conclusions about the events that occurred at Rendlesham Forest in December 1980.

EXCLUSIVE: Sighting of hovering black triangular 'UFO' is DEBUNKED as simply flares slowly descending over California military base in 2021

• A black triangular shaped UFO with five red lights was seen hovering in the night sky at Camp Wilson in California on April 20, 2021 
• DailyMail.com can reveal the 'UFO sighting' has been debunked and the lights were simply flares 
• Smoke trails above the five lights indicate they were flares, and long exposure effects suggest they were not hovering but slowly descending, as flares do

By JOSH BOSWELL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Videos of a 2021 incident some marines believed to be a triangular UFO hovering over their California base, have been debunked as simply flares.

UFO researcher John Greenewald Jr. obtained dozens of photos, video and documents from the Pentagon last week which appear to explain the lights filmed on April 20, 2021 at Camp Wilson near Twentynine Palms, California, mistaken for a triangular 'craft'.

In May, documentarian Jeremy Corbell and journalist George Knapp shared with DailyMail.com three photos and five videos from the 2021 incident, showing five lights appearing to hover in the sky.

One of the photos appeared to show a solid triangular shape around the lights, and two marines who witnessed the incident said they believed it was a craft.

Corbell and Knapp said they had investigated the incident for two years.

But videos and photos obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) this month by Greenewald – an expert in such requests – show smoke trails above the five lights indicating they were flares, and long exposure effects suggesting they were not hovering but slowly descending, as flares do.

A black triangular shaped UFO with five red lights was seen hovering in the night sky at Camp Wilson in California on April 20, 2021

DailyMail.com can reveal the 'UFO sighting' has been debunked and the lights were simply flares

Veteran debunker Mick West, who often appears on UFO shows voicing a skeptical view on alleged exotic incidents, managed to match with precision the alleged UFO lights to a confirmed video of flares shot during a training exercise that evening on the military base.

UFO researcher John Greenewald Jr. obtained dozens of photos, video and documents from the Pentagon last week which appear to explain the lights filmed on April 20, 2021 

In a video posted on YouTube, West explained the triangular shape around the lights in one of Corbell and Knapp's photos as 'just the color bleed, which you can see around other objects in the scene.'

Flares often stay lit for between four and seven minutes, and the parachutes they hang beneath can descend slowly enough that they appear from a distance to hover.

'The five lights start out in a nice formation that evokes a triangle, but they quickly separate into more random positions like flares do,' West said in his video.

'John found footage of five flares that looks very similar, I realized this looked like it was taken from the other side. So I flipped it and overlaid it, and it's a near perfect match.'

A mortarman who filmed some of the footage while serving at Camp Wilson spoke with Corbell days afterwards in 2021.

In a recorded interview, he said the lights stuck around for about 10 minutes and left him and his comrades 'baffled'.

'One of my buddies was outside. He was looking at the sky and said that it just kind of appeared out of nowhere,' he said. 'And we all came out and looked and then slowly like 50-plus people started coming out and looking. Those lights appeared out of nowhere.

'If you look at the picture, you can see a black triangular shape.

'With the picture I took with the black triangular shape underneath the lights, it's definitely not any type of flare thing or illumination rounds.'

In May, documentarian Jeremy Corbell and journalist George Knapp (pictured together) shared with DailyMail.com three photos and five videos from the 2021 incident, showing five lights appearing to hover in the sky

However, military press releases show there was a large training exercise with many flares, aircraft flyovers and drones in the sky on the night of April 20 2021.

The 'Night Air Assault' was conducted by '2nd Marine Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, and aircraft attached to Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1' according to a post published by the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS) that day.

The matching footage of the flares, where a smoke trail is visible, was published in a compilation of background night vision video by DVIDS, and first unearthed by Greenewald.

The marine witnesses told Corbell that flares were fired to try to light up the alleged triangle object.

Among the 128 photos Greenewald obtained this month via FOIA is a picture of two flares in the night sky, next to five smoke trails from extinguished flares which he believes were the source of the five mysterious lights – and could explain the marines' account.

In the May 22 episode of Corbell and Knapp's podcast Weaponized, where they first revealed the footage, Corbell said: 'This was an object. The object was sitting there. I'm not going to say object anymore. It was a craft.

'This is something that was a mass sighting of a UFO, an incursion over a military base. This was a craft.'

But in an episode the following week, they backed off their claims, characterizing the publication as 'an effort to generate additional information'.

'It was like a UFO crime not to have a case completely solved,' Corbell said in the May 29 episode. 'There are some great hypotheses that people have brought forward.'

Knapp joked that they had not 'declared our belief that this is an alien spaceship from the planet Krondak', adding: 'What sold it for me, that it was interesting, was the photos taken with low light features that really do look like they substantiated triangular form.'

In a statement to DailyMail.com this week, Corbell defended the marines' testimony as coming from 'trained military observers', but conceded that 'What appears to be smoke trails illuminated seems compelling and is now a leading theory.'

'We now owe it to our brave service members to fully investigate further based on this new information and further updates can be expected,' the filmmaker said.

Greenewald, who published the FOIA video and pictures on his website The Black Vault, told DailyMail.com that Corbell and Knapp have previously released footage of genuine unidentified objects that have been authenticated by the Pentagon, but that this incident was fully explained.

'I'm confident there is something to these phenomena and I'm not afraid to call out the stuff that is over hyped or potentially even damaging to the UAP conversation,' he said.

'There is ample evidence now the lights which matched the formation of the lights on the alleged 'UAP' were indeed flares.

'I'd love to know why all that is. How have we gone from legitimate and even confirmed evidence being leaked, to this? It's a bizarre progression, and one I feel is far from fully revealed.'

Electronics expert Craig Capel tweeted pointing out that the flares in one picture are purple, a color which can be created by burning cesium or potassium, but these are not usually used for military flares, which usually burn red using strontium

Despite the convincing debunk, others still argue that the lights have a different explanation.

Electronics expert Craig Capel tweeted pointing out that the flares in one picture are purple, a color which can be created by burning cesium or potassium, but these are not usually used for military flares, which usually burn red using strontium.

However, the colors may be affected by the iPhone camera adjusting for low-light conditions, and may not be an accurate depiction of their true color in the sky.

'Given the coincidences with date and location, and the fact that these lights look and act like flares, I think we can safely say that these are the actual flares that were misidentified as a UFO,' West said in his video.

'Military personnel are human, they are subject to the same illusions that we are. Sometimes when faced with something new, they might not be able to identify it. This happens perhaps more than we might like, but it's not something we should ignore, just because it seems impolite.

'When looking at a UFO video, keep an open mind. Consider all the possibilities.'

West writes about attempting to debunk alleged UFO incidents and other claimed conspiracy theories in his book, Escaping the Rabbit Hole: How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories Using Facts, Logic, and Respect, first published in 2018 and re-released in a revised copy last month.

See 10 Mysterious ‘UFO Sighting’ Photos From History

By Lily Rothman and Liz Ronk

After confusion swept Los Angeles early on Feb. 25, 1942, the report from Western Defense Command was vague: “Unidentified aircraft were reported in the Los Angeles area.”

What was experienced on the ground on that day 74 years ago, however, was very specific. As TIME reported the following week, “Los Angeles citizens crawled out of beds and goggled at the moon. The city had been blacked out. Suddenly, from dozens of Army anti-aircraft posts, searchlights lanced the dark. Orange bursts blossomed in the sky. The city shook with the concussion of ack-ack guns. For almost two hours, except for one 15-minute interval of scary silence, batteries coughed steadily, spewed 1,430 rounds of ammunition into the night.”

For residents for whom the memory of Pearl Harbor was fresh, the possibility of an attack—later dubbed the “Battle of Los Angeles”—seemed very real. But the shot-down plane that the L.A. Times reported on was never found, and the Secretary of the Navy announced that the whole thing had been a false alarm, though Army officials maintained that enemy planes had in fact been sighted in the area.

Whatever did cause the air raid procedure to be launched, it’s no wonder that the Battle of Los Angeles is also a favorite event for UFO conspiracy theorists.

In fact, it wasn’t until years later, in 1947, that the common flying saucer image of a UFO would begin to sweep through American popular culture. But, in the years that followed, the reports poured in. Here are a few of the early images that captured the imaginations of those who wished—or feared—to discover that we Earthlings might not be alone.

Elizondo & Tom Delonge Found Photos Of Italian Helicopter Destroyed By UFO In 2004

In 2003 and 2004, a series of unexplained fires broke out in Canneto di Caronia, Sicily, Italy. These fires were seen in household objects such as fridges, TVs, and mobile phones. The phenomenon attracted the attention of residents and dozens of experts, including scientists, electrical engineers, and military personnel.

Investigations ruled out arson, and an amazed scientist reported witnessing an unplugged electrical cable burst into flames. Locals blamed supernatural forces, and the Vatican’s chief exorcist even weighed in, stating that the fires could be caused by demons occupying electrical goods. (Source)

A leaked interim report by the Italian Civil Protection Department, conducted with the involvement of a NASA scientist and ordered by the government, concluded that the most likely cause of the fires was “aliens.” The report estimated the cost of the two-year investigation at $1.2 million.

According to the report, the fires were caused by high-power electromagnetic emissions with a power of 12 to 15 gigawatts, which were not man-made. The report also cited a possible unidentified flying object (UFO) landing near the village, with burnt imprints found in a field that could not be explained.

Francesco Mantegna Venerando, Sicily’s Civil Protection chief, stated that they were still working on their conclusions. He noted that while they were not claiming little green men from Mars caused the fires, they were considering the possibility of unnatural forces producing a large amount of electromagnetic energy. Another possibility being explored was the testing of top-secret weapons by an unknown power capable of producing an enormous amount of energy.

In April 2004, when a series of mysterious fires broke out, the Italian Military became involved since there had been several reports by fishermen of luminous objects at night flying over and going into the sea. The Military detected a UFO on the radar, but they could not make visual confirmation from the ground. So, they sent a helicopter to investigate everything.

In the “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation” series (Season 1 Episode 6), former Director of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) Luis Elizondo and Tom Delonge paid a visit to Rome, where they discovered shocking details about the 2004 Sicily UFO attack.

Lt. Col. Clarbruno Vedruccio of the Italian Navy’s Special Forces shared a story about a series of spontaneous fires in Sicily in 2004 and how a UFO approached the helicopter and fired a beam forced the pilots to make an emergency landing.

“In 2004, in Sicily, a craft appeared a few hundred meters behind the copter tail and it shot an (electromagnetic) ray that destroyed the helicopter wings. The signal was absolutely directional. It was a beam. On a certain band of frequencies. Then we discovered that when they use their energy weapons, they must go outside stealth mode. We could see them on a certain band of (electromagnetic) frequencies.” […] “You could use the same frequency to provide a radio beacon to call them, to attract them. To show them that we have understood their technology,” said Lt. Col. Clarbruno Vedruccio.

Once the helicopter approached the coordinates, the UFO revealed itself, coming out of stealth mode. Officials said the helicopter was chased by a saucer-shaped UAP that shot a powerful, focused electromagnetic beam at its rotors. It fried them enough to disable the helicopter and force it to crash land. They figured out that the source of the spontaneous fires was an electromagnetic frequency from the sea. About 80 kilometres offshore and deep underwater really surprised Elizondo, as he was quite aware of underate sightings.

Elizondo said: “They were very pointed, in a matter of fact, that these things had been kind of plaguing them for some time. One individual, in particular, provided some very, very detailed information to include some analysis on frequency. I hate to say it, but they may have more information than we do, even in the US potentially.”

Another incident involved Captain Achille Zaghetti and his co-pilot, who encountered a 10-foot-long, khaki-colored UFO while flying from Milan to Heathrow. Capt. Zaghetti, recounting the 1991 event above Lydd, Kent, told Italian journalists: “It was shaped like a cigar and passed very close about 300 meters on the right, or 1,000ft.” (Source)

“The color was military beige. We guessed that it was around three meters long. It was approximately 8 or 9 p.m., when it was still bright at altitude but pitch black on the ground,” said Captain Zaghetti, who resides in Grosseto, Tuscany.

“It could have caused a terrible accident. If you’re flying at 700 kilometers an hour, hitting an object of 1kg is like hitting something which weighs 700kg.” Air traffic controllers at Heathrow spotted the UFO on the radar while directing a British Airways jet into the airport.

Capt Zaghetti claimed the object was not a weather balloon and resembled instead the sort of long-distance fuel tanks that fighter aircraft sometimes carry.

He was later contacted by a counter-terrorism official from an American agency who asked for more details about the encounter. He said he was glad his co-pilot had seen the UFO as well, because he did not want to be accused of being a fantasist. “And we had to visit the doctors every six months,” Capt Zaghetti added, saying there were no doubts about his health at the time.

“Had any foreign adversary attacked a military helicopter of another nation, that could surely be a sign of aggression, and maybe potentially an act of war. So that’s a big deal,” Elizondo said. So are the world militaries engaged in combat with UFOs? It was not the first time UFO attacked man-made crafts and missiles.

For 18 years, Robert Jacobs, a former US Air Force officer, had been participating in the official United States Government-ordered UFO cover-up. The cover-up was about the UFO shooting down one of the ballistic missiles back in 1964 in Big Sur, California. He claimed that his colleagues had ridiculed him for writing about this cover-up that appeared in The National Enquirer. (Click here to read full article)

According to him, the warhead was approached by a UFO and fired a beam of light from different directions. Subsequently, the warhead malfunctioned and tumbled out of sub orbit hundreds of miles short of its target. “This… unidentified flying… thing had apparently shot down an American dummy atomic warhead,” Dr. Jacobs said.

A congressional hearing on July 26, 2023, under the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, with Ryan Graves, David Grusch, and David Fravor. 

(U.S. House Committee On Oversight and Accountability).

One of those prominent voices was that of Sir Eric Gairy, the late Prime Minister of Grenada, who through his untiring and spirited efforts in the 1970s brought humanity closer to learning the truth about the existence of extraterrestrial life.

• A Secret Roswell Journal Becomes The Focus Of A New UFO Documentary

Global Coalition for Disclosure

Sir Eric M. Gairy was the Prime Minister of Grenada—an island country of the West Indies dubbed the “Spice Isle”—from the mid to late-1970s. He held a slew of portfolios, including Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defense.

On November 27, 1978, Sir Eric made an unprecedented move for a head of state, then or in present times, when he led a group including scientists and an astronaut in addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York on the subject of unidentified flying objects. He had brought a short film along with him, which consisted of still and motion pictures depicting actual sightings of UFOs.

An important milestone in the history of ufology, the official UFO Hearing held at the United Nations Special Political Committee witnessed the participation of notable international institutions, scientists, and military personnel.

Prior to delivering his speech at the UN, during a bilateral meeting with President Jimmy Carter in Washington on September 9, 1977, Eric Gairy had mentioned the UFO topic. Carter was no stranger to UFOs, as he is one of the few presidents who had a personal sighting of a strange craft. In 1969, he had observed an unusual aerial object in Leary, Georgia, and then proceeded to file an official report with the International UFO Bureau in 1973—though he did not claim it was an alien craft.

Moreover, during his 1976 election campaign, Carter told reporters that he would make public all reports of UFO sightings. But, once in office, he cited national security to distance himself from disclosure.

• U.S. Experts Testify Before Congress on Secret UFO Programs

Back to Sir Eric: alluding to a resolution he had introduced on the agenda of the UN. General Assembly proposing an international study of UFOs, as well as a study of psychic and other related phenomena, Gairy asked President Carter if he could support it. He added that he had no doubt in his mind that, "…planet earth is not the only one God created."

During his address to the United Nations General Assembly, the Grenadian prime minister said that he had come before the august body because of a "deep personal conviction" that UFOs were of "worldwide importance and significance".

Eric Gairy emphasized that the UN needed to, "...come alive to its responsibilities and take a serious look at the UFO phenomenon to which planet Earth has been conspicuously exposed since 1947". The prime minister then introduced a resolution, which would establish an expert group to formulate guidelines for a UN led study of unidentified flying objects.

Among other heavy-weight participants the UFO study panel included astronaut, Gordon Cooper; astronomer, J. Allen Hynek; astronomer and ufologist, Jacques Vallée; nuclear physicist, Stanton Friedman; astronomer and astrophysicist, Claude Poher; and Lieutenant Colonel Larry Coyne of the U.S. Army, who appeared in his private capacity.

Later, after gaining the approval of the panelists, Dr. Hynek presented a statement on their behalf on the need to initiate a centralized United Nations authority on unidentified flying objects. Interestingly, the graphics in the presentation given by NBC Radio producer and UFO researcher, Lee Speigel, — who was sponsored by Grenada to guide the initiative at the UN — were prepared by Steven Spielberg, who was at that time putting the finishing touches on his pathbreaking film ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’

It should be stressed that this major recognition of the UFO topic by the United Nations was in many ways not just the culmination of the determined endeavors of Sir Eric, but also a recognition of the sentiments he had expressed a year earlier to the U.N. General Assembly. Back in October 1977, Eric Gairy astonished the audience when he revealed, "...I have myself seen an unidentified flying object and I have been overwhelmed by what I have seen."

Sir Eric also noted, "...In the same way that this planet is the accepted inheritance of all humanity, knowledge is also to be shared for the benefit of all mankind... one wonders why the existence of UFO's continues to remain a secret."

A UN Secretary-General Gets Involved

It was no mean feat for Sir Eric Gairy to assemble a team of high-ranking experts from disparate fields, to impress upon the United Nations to grant the UFO phenomenon the importance it duly deserved.

However, it must be remembered that prior to Sir Eric’s move for disclosure, U. Thant, the third Secretary-General of the UN from 1961 to 1971 too made similar efforts. According to Press reports, he is said to have confided to his colleagues that he considered “UFOs the most important problem facing the UN next to the war in Vietnam.”

To address the matter Thant invited University of Arizona physicist, James E. McDonald, to brief the UN Outer Space Affairs group in New York in 1967. And so, McDonald attempted to persuade the UN to undertake a global study on the UFO phenomenon, urging any member nation to sponsor the research. That call was answered by Sir Eric Gairy, nearly a decade later.

A Chilling Extraterrestrial Encounter

Even though Sir Eric purportedly had a bizarre experience with an extraterrestrial in his home country, Grenada, a sudden and wholly unexpected turn of events halted the late prime minister from ensuring complete disclosure about alien life. Here’s how these events came to pass:

The tight-lipped approach regarding the subject of extraterrestrial life that governments across the world have adopted, primarily in the United States, is something that has flummoxed anybody who has ever pondered the need for such confidentiality on so vital a topic to humankind.

It is worth digging further to understand what prompted Sir Eric’s determination to know "...why the existence of UFO's continues to remain a secret."

These words gain great consequence when we learn they aren't merely exaggerated statements made by a world leader who was a UFO enthusiast, too. Strange as it sounds, well before his address at the United Nations and the eager push for UFO disclosure, Sir Eric claimed to have had his own personal encounter with an other-worldly being—albeit a dead one.

On the night of the incident, Eric Gairy, who was spending his leisure hours in a popular Grenadian nightclub, the "Evening Palace", was taken aback to see a local fisherman burst in and excitedly say he'd come across an odd-looking humanoid that had washed up on the beach.

Eric, who was heavily interested in paranormal phenomena, quickly arranged a small military unit and a photographer. He then asked the man to lead him to the spot where the entity was found. Eric alleged later that when the investigating team arrived at the scene shortly before dawn, they witnessed a couple of fishermen at the site standing guard next to something covered by a tarpaulin.

When the men pulled the tarp back, Sir Eric and his group momentarily recoiled in horror, for their eyes beheld an inexplicable sight. An enormous humanoid creature nearly eight feet tall, with pale white skin and white braided hair, lay soaking wet and motionless. With the facial features of an adult human male, the bizarre being's hands had six digits each. This extraterrestrial entity was clothed in a dark blue, skin-tight, one-piece suit with footwear attached.

As the sun rose, it became apparent to Sir Eric and the assembled crew that the entire beach was littered with weird metallic debris. Eight boxes were identified, of which only two could be opened with considerable difficulty. These boxes contained aquatic flora and fauna—as though the dead creature was on a mission to collect the specimens for study.

Two trucks—one for the boxes and another for the giant—appeared on the scene, and the peculiar cargo was spirited away to an undisclosed location.

Although Sir Eric spoke about the incident in an interview, he never disclosed where the body had been taken nor what became of the containers retrieved along with it. And of course, he wasn't forthcoming about the photographs they'd clicked onsite.

Defeat in the Face of Victory

Prime Minister Eric Gairy earned a massive victory on December 18, 1978, when the UN General Assembly adopted Grenada's resolution to study the taboo subject of UFO's.

But, before any gains could be realized for the ufology community from the November 1978 UN resolution, Eric Gairy was dislodged from power in a bloodless coup in March 1979 - ironically, while he was away at the UN for further discussions with Secretary-General, Kurt Waldheim, about the recently adopted UFO resolution.

The meeting was cancelled and subsequently, given the timing of the coup, conspiracy theorists blamed the UK for sabotaging Sir Eric's bid to gain transparency about unidentified flying objects (Sir Eric had been Grenada’s prime minister when the island gained its independence from the UK in 1974 ). At the UN Great Britain had raised objections to Grenada’s plan, stating, “The British delegation does not think that the establishment of an agency for research into unidentified flying objects is appropriate to the functions of the United Nations.” By and large the US remained neutral.

Sir Eric Gairy passed away in 1997 at the age of 75, and his efforts at shepherding UFO disclosure through the United Nations are widely recognized as one of his most memorable accomplishments as a political leader.

For now, all we are left with is speculation and great appreciation for Sir Eric's unwavering attempts to seek the truth. Or perhaps we have had disclosure all along; for as leading UFO researcher Grant Cameron observed, “Every leak by the government, every movie in Hollywood that has an alien theme, and every UFO joke by the president is a type of disclosure.”

One of those prominent voices was that of Sir Eric Gairy, the late Prime Minister of Grenada, who through his untiring and spirited efforts in the 1970s brought humanity closer to learning the truth about the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Global Coalition for Disclosure

Sir Eric M. Gairy was the Prime Minister of Grenada—an island country of the West Indies dubbed the “Spice Isle”—from the mid to late-1970s. He held a slew of portfolios, including Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defense.

On November 27, 1978, Sir Eric made an unprecedented move for a head of state, then or in present times, when he led a group including scientists and an astronaut in addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York on the subject of unidentified flying objects. He had brought a short film along with him, which consisted of still and motion pictures depicting actual sightings of UFOs.

An important milestone in the history of ufology, the official UFO Hearing held at the United Nations Special Political Committee witnessed the participation of notable international institutions, scientists, and military personnel.

Prior to delivering his speech at the UN, during a bilateral meeting with President Jimmy Carter in Washington on September 9, 1977, Eric Gairy had mentioned the UFO topic. Carter was no stranger to UFOs, as he is one of the few presidents who had a personal sighting of a strange craft. In 1969, he had observed an unusual aerial object in Leary, Georgia, and then proceeded to file an official report with the International UFO Bureau in 1973—though he did not claim it was an alien craft.

Moreover, during his 1976 election campaign, Carter told reporters that he would make public all reports of UFO sightings. But, once in office, he cited national security to distance himself from disclosure.

Back to Sir Eric: alluding to a resolution he had introduced on the agenda of the UN. General Assembly proposing an international study of UFOs, as well as a study of psychic and other related phenomena, Gairy asked President Carter if he could support it. He added that he had no doubt in his mind that, "…planet earth is not the only one God created."

During his address to the United Nations General Assembly, the Grenadian prime minister said that he had come before the august body because of a "deep personal conviction" that UFOs were of "worldwide importance and significance".

Eric Gairy emphasized that the UN needed to, "...come alive to its responsibilities and take a serious look at the UFO phenomenon to which planet Earth has been conspicuously exposed since 1947". The prime minister then introduced a resolution, which would establish an expert group to formulate guidelines for a UN led study of unidentified flying objects.

Among other heavy-weight participants the UFO study panel included astronaut, Gordon Cooper; astronomer, J. Allen Hynek; astronomer and ufologist, Jacques Vallée; nuclear physicist, Stanton Friedman; astronomer and astrophysicist, Claude Poher; and Lieutenant Colonel Larry Coyne of the U.S. Army, who appeared in his private capacity.

Later, after gaining the approval of the panelists, Dr. Hynek presented a statement on their behalf on the need to initiate a centralized United Nations authority on unidentified flying objects. Interestingly, the graphics in the presentation given by NBC Radio producer and UFO researcher, Lee Speigel, — who was sponsored by Grenada to guide the initiative at the UN — were prepared by Steven Spielberg, who was at that time putting the finishing touches on his pathbreaking film ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’

It should be stressed that this major recognition of the UFO topic by the United Nations was in many ways not just the culmination of the determined endeavors of Sir Eric, but also a recognition of the sentiments he had expressed a year earlier to the U.N. General Assembly. Back in October 1977, Eric Gairy astonished the audience when he revealed, "...I have myself seen an unidentified flying object and I have been overwhelmed by what I have seen."

Sir Eric also noted, "...In the same way that this planet is the accepted inheritance of all humanity, knowledge is also to be shared for the benefit of all mankind... one wonders why the existence of UFO's continues to remain a secret."

A UN Secretary-General Gets Involved

It was no mean feat for Sir Eric Gairy to assemble a team of high-ranking experts from disparate fields, to impress upon the United Nations to grant the UFO phenomenon the importance it duly deserved.

However, it must be remembered that prior to Sir Eric’s move for disclosure, U. Thant, the third Secretary-General of the UN from 1961 to 1971 too made similar efforts. According to Press reports, he is said to have confided to his colleagues that he considered “UFOs the most important problem facing the UN next to the war in Vietnam.”

To address the matter Thant invited University of Arizona physicist, James E. McDonald, to brief the UN Outer Space Affairs group in New York in 1967. And so, McDonald attempted to persuade the UN to undertake a global study on the UFO phenomenon, urging any member nation to sponsor the research. That call was answered by Sir Eric Gairy, nearly a decade later.

A Chilling Extraterrestrial Encounter

Even though Sir Eric purportedly had a bizarre experience with an extraterrestrial in his home country, Grenada, a sudden and wholly unexpected turn of events halted the late prime minister from ensuring complete disclosure about alien life. Here’s how these events came to pass:

The tight-lipped approach regarding the subject of extraterrestrial life that governments across the world have adopted, primarily in the United States, is something that has flummoxed anybody who has ever pondered the need for such confidentiality on so vital a topic to humankind.

It is worth digging further to understand what prompted Sir Eric’s determination to know "...why the existence of UFO's continues to remain a secret."

These words gain great consequence when we learn they aren't merely exaggerated statements made by a world leader who was a UFO enthusiast, too. Strange as it sounds, well before his address at the United Nations and the eager push for UFO disclosure, Sir Eric claimed to have had his own personal encounter with an other-worldly being—albeit a dead one.

On the night of the incident, Eric Gairy, who was spending his leisure hours in a popular Grenadian nightclub, the "Evening Palace", was taken aback to see a local fisherman burst in and excitedly say he'd come across an odd-looking humanoid that had washed up on the beach.

Eric, who was heavily interested in paranormal phenomena, quickly arranged a small military unit and a photographer. He then asked the man to lead him to the spot where the entity was found. Eric alleged later that when the investigating team arrived at the scene shortly before dawn, they witnessed a couple of fishermen at the site standing guard next to something covered by a tarpaulin.

When the men pulled the tarp back, Sir Eric and his group momentarily recoiled in horror, for their eyes beheld an inexplicable sight. An enormous humanoid creature nearly eight feet tall, with pale white skin and white braided hair, lay soaking wet and motionless. With the facial features of an adult human male, the bizarre being's hands had six digits each. This extraterrestrial entity was clothed in a dark blue, skin-tight, one-piece suit with footwear attached.

As the sun rose, it became apparent to Sir Eric and the assembled crew that the entire beach was littered with weird metallic debris. Eight boxes were identified, of which only two could be opened with considerable difficulty. These boxes contained aquatic flora and fauna—as though the dead creature was on a mission to collect the specimens for study.

Two trucks—one for the boxes and another for the giant—appeared on the scene, and the peculiar cargo was spirited away to an undisclosed location.

Although Sir Eric spoke about the incident in an interview, he never disclosed where the body had been taken nor what became of the containers retrieved along with it. And of course, he wasn't forthcoming about the photographs they'd clicked onsite.

Extraordinary Document Reveals Sketch of 1933 Crashed Alien Craft, Shared by Italian Journalist for First Time

By Vicky Verma

In the ongoing investigation into the alleged 1933 UFO crash in Italy, a significant breakthrough has emerged. Italian journalist Roberto Pinotti reveals that he obtained crucial documentary evidence about the incident. Astonishingly, he got these documents from a mysterious source who claimed that they had been inherited from a family member involved in the top-secret program.

Pinotti claimed that the reported UFO crash happened in Magenta, Lombardy, Italy, on April 11, 1933. This event took place 14 years before the well-known Roswell UFO incident in New Mexico. The crash itself revolved around a saucer-shaped object resembling a flying saucer. Its occurrence prompted an inquiry conducted by the “Gabinetto RS/33” (or RS/33 Cabinet), a clandestine intelligence division formed during wartime under the authorization of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

In his book “UFO Contacts In Italy Volume Two,” Pinotti disclosed that the crashed UFO was stored in the hangars of SIAI Marchetti in Vergiate. Mussolini, perceiving the unorthodox aerial craft as a clandestine weapon belonging to France, Britain, or Germany, found it intriguing. Meanwhile, Sen. Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian Royal Academy of Sciences’ leader, purportedly speculated that its origin was extraterrestrial.

Additionally, the former US intelligence officer David Grusch, who provided astonishing insights into secret UFO programs, has given credence to this story. Grusch disclosed that the United States and its allies engaged in covert programs for nearly ninety years, revealing that one of the recovered craft was found in Italy in 1933.

Mr. Grusch plans to testify publicly in the near future, potentially happening soon. Journalist Ross Coulthart acknowledges knowing multiple witnesses and whistleblowers who support Mr. Grusch’s claims. Mr. Grusch has provided evidence under oath to Congress and the Inspector General.

Coulthart also mentions that there are others waiting to observe how Congress treats Mr. Grusch before stepping forward. Simultaneously, an additional interview with Mr. Grusch has surfaced online, revealing previously undisclosed and astonishing details about the UAP topic.

During an interview with NewNation, Coulthart commends US Senator Marco Rubio’s statement, highlighting its bipartisan nature. Senator Gillibrand and Representative Mike Gallagher have also expressed support for holding hearings on the matter. Coulthart believes that certain classified information may be preventing some members of Congress from discussing the issue publicly. He praises NewsNation for giving the story the coverage it deserves and speculates that other media outlets may be hoping the story fails. Coulthart draws a parallel to the Watergate scandal, emphasizing that legitimate stories take time to gain recognition.

Pinotti disclosed in his interview with DailyMail that he received the original secret documents about the case in 1996 from an anonymous source who claimed to have inherited them from a family member involved in Mussolini’s supposed UFO program. The documents included telegrams from June 1933 demanding silence regarding the alleged landing of an unknown aircraft and threatening penalties for journalists reporting on it. The telegrams were said to be by the personal order of Mussolini himself.

Pinotti also mentioned other documents referring to the mysterious government department “Gabinetto RS/33,” supposedly headed by Nobel Prize-winning inventor Guglielmo Marconi, which was responsible for managing the retrieval and study of the alleged saucer wreckage and other UFO incidents. However, the existence of this department and Marconi’s involvement have not been verified by Italian historians or UFO researchers.

Pinotti claimed that the alleged crash site was near Magenta, a satellite town of Milan, and he identified SIAI Marchetti in Vergiate, an aircraft facility in the area, as the likely site where the supposed wreckage was stored. According to Pinotti, the site miraculously avoided bombing raids during World War II and was secured by US and UK troops in 1945.

Grusch stated that the craft was recovered by agents of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a former US intelligence agency, around this time.

“In 1933, a bell-like craft, around ten meters in size, was recovered in Magenta, northern Italy. It was kept by Mussolini’s government until 1944 when it was recovered by agents of the OSS,” Grusch revealed in his interview with the French newspaper Le Parisien in June 2023.

The authenticity of the documents related to the alleged 1933 UFO crash in Italy has been a subject of debate and skepticism. Pinotti claims to have authenticated some of them through forensic analysis.

According to Pinotti, a forensic expert tested one of the documents dated 1936 and concluded that the paper and ink were from that period. However, it is important to note that this analysis focused on a single document, and the telegrams from 1933 have not been tested.

Skeptics have pointed out that vintage paper and ink from the time could have been used to forge the documents. Furthermore, the lack of protocol numbers or official stamps on the papers raises doubts about their authenticity. Some critics argue that the documents resemble personal memos rather than official government documents.

Pinotti himself, as well as his colleague Alfredo Lissoni, have been advocates for the authenticity of the documents and have conducted research on the alleged 1933 UFO crash in Italy. Additionally, British historian Graeme Rendall, who has written books on WWII UFO sightings, believes the evidence is inconclusive.

Journalist Christopher Sharp of Liberation Times did extensive research on the Italy crash and found that alongside the crashed UFO, two human-like bodies were allegedly recovered at the site in Lombardy, Italy, in 1933. The bodies described by Mr. Sharp sparked intrigue and speculation due to their unusual characteristics and alleged extraterrestrial origin.

Later, the retrieved unknown craft’s information was confided to Pope Pius XII by Mussolini himself, as they had good relations. However, after Mussolini allied with Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, the Pope became uneasy about the craft and leaked it to the US from the Vatican. Post-war, the craft was allegedly brought to the USA, where it supposedly remains today.

Lue Elizondo, a former government official involved in UFO investigations, mentioned seeing “compelling” documents from Mussolini’s office, indicating that some pieces of the Italian craft were transported to the USA after World War II. Speculations suggest that the craft was not a typical unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) with advanced technology, but rather a vehicle powered by jet engines and rockets, resembling the flying wing designs of the Horten brothers. The exact purpose of this technology transfer to the Axis powers remains unclear but is likely linked to gaining a military advantage.

Approximately 50 miles northwest of his destination, the pilot contacted air traffic controllers (ATC) to report sighting an object he described as appearing to be “approximately 30 feet tall” as it passed him flying “at about 6500-6800 feet.”

“Not sure what it is,” the pilot can be heard saying in an audio recording of the incident uploaded to the YouTube channel You Can See ATC, which specializes in reconstructions of non-standard and emergency situations that occur in flight.

“It was 30 feet tall?” an obviously perplexed ATC operator can be heard replying.

“It was pretty tall, probably about 30 feet tall,” the pilot confirms. “It was going opposite direction of us.”

Asked if the object was moving at a fast pace, the pilot, just prior to entering his descent, also confirmed that the object appeared to be moving quickly as it passed him.

“Arrow to 024, what does the object look like?” the ATC operator can then be heard asking.

“It’s kinda hard to describe,” the pilot responds. “It was just, uh, tall and, uh, pointy.”

“Like a triangle?” the ATC operator then asks.

“It was in the shape of a triangle. It was bottom and flat on top. I’m not sure what it is.” Intriguingly, the pilot then adds, “[I] do have a picture of it,” clarifying that there “did not appear to be any danger” resulting from the appearance of the unusual flying triangle.

“It was pretty far away from us. Just noticeable enough for caution to other aircraft,” the pilot says.

Following this exchange, the ATC operator can then be heard advising the pilot to call his supervisor due to safety concerns that were raised after the pilot’s bizarre sighting.

“Just wanna make sure everything is safe up there, uh, for future aircraft flying through that. So give him a call once you’re on the ground safely please.”

The Debrief has reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for comment on the December 2023 incident. The pilot who reported the sighting of the strange object has not been identified, nor has the alleged photograph of the object the pilot references in the recorded communications with ATC surfaced.

For decades, observations of flying objects of unknown origin, which the Department of Defense now calls unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), have often involved triangular UFO sightings. Beginning on November 29, 1989, a wave of sightings involving large, triangular aircraft erupted over Belgium, culminating in an intercept attempt involving two Belgian Air Force F-16s in the early morning hours of March 31, 1990. Sightings of the unusual craft continued until April of that year.

Remarkably similar sightings involving large, triangular UFOs have continued to be reported for decades, including an incident involving observations by multiple law enforcement officers located in St. Clair County, Illinois, during the early morning hours of January 5, 2000.

Given that few details apart from its estimated size and general shape were conveyed about the object reported in the December 20 incident, it is unclear whether anything beyond a superficial resemblance to these earlier sightings of large triangular UAP exists.

Earlier this week, members of the House Oversight Committee were scheduled to receive a classified briefing on UAP conducted by Thomas Monheim, the current Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (IC IG).

Last June, The Debrief was the first to report on a complaint filed to the IC IG by whistleblower David Grusch, alleging that secret U.S. government programs involved in the recovery of craft believed to be of non-human origin had been illegally withheld from Congress.

Currently, the Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) is responsible for evaluating UAP incidents reported by U.S. military personnel and is expected to release the first installment of a two-part historical review in the weeks ahead.

Established in 2022, the office received some criticism for the slow pace of its operations, with its official website having not appeared online until August 30, 2023. At that time, a congressionally mandated reporting mechanism for military personnel to report their sightings did not yet appear on the website. Although added sometime later, the site’s current reporting mechanism only accepts unclassified information related to possible knowledge of U.S. government UAP programs.

Last November, Sean Kirkpatrick, the first individual named as director of AARO, announced he would be stepping down from his position. Currently, those duties are being performed by Timothy A. Phillips, who had only been named as AARO’s Deputy Director shortly before the Pentagon confirmed Kirkpatrick’s retirement.

Kirkpatrick officially retired from his duties on December 1, 2023, and is currently employed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as its Chief Technology Officer for Defense and Intelligence Programs.

• 3:44 PM ET, 01/10/24: This article has been updated to further clarify that the photograph of the object the pilot is heard referencing in the audio recordings of his communication with ATC operators has not surfaced, nor is the pilot’s identity presently known.
