For many, the UFO phenomenon, or UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) as it's often known today, may seem relatively modern. Indeed, it was only from the 1940s that the idea of UFOs really swept the world and the public consciousness. Yet, this is a phenomenon that goes way back through the centuries, and here we will look at various very early encounters with strange things in the sky. 

UFO reports of some kind have occurred back to Biblical times. The Book of Ezekiel is the third of the Latter Prophets in the Tanakh and is considered to be one of the major prophetic books of the Bible. It follows the words of the Judean prophet Ezekiel ben-Buzi, a priest living in exile in the city of Babylon between 593 and 571 BC, who is written to have encountered God there and received six visions structured around three themes: Judgment on Israel, Judgment on the nations, and Future blessings for Israel. One of these bizarre visions came to Ezekiel in the form of a vision of four burning wheels, which “sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel,” with God atop a chariot attended by angels. Called “Ezekiel’s Wheel,” interpretations have varied as to what exactly it is all supposed to mean, but one common idea is given by the site Bible Study Tools, which says of it:

“The Bible story of Ezekiel's wheel features a vision of four wheels that illustrates the spiritual, divine essence of God and His omnipresence in our reality. This story is predominantly found in the first chapter of the book of Ezekiel, as part of his inaugural vision. God approaches Ezekiel as the divine warrior, riding in his battle chariot. The chariot is drawn by four living creatures, each having four faces (those of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle) and four wings. Beside each "living creature" is a "wheel within a wheel", with "tall and awesome" rims full of eyes all around. God appoints Ezekiel as a prophet and as a "watchman" in Israel: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites.” Ezekiel’s vision of the four wheels dramatically illustrates the omnipresence and omniscience of God. These wheels were associated with the “four living creatures” (Ezekiel 1:4), who were later described (Ezekiel 10:5-20) as cherubim, angelic beings appointed as guardians of the holiness of God. The Spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. As a result, the creatures were able to move any direction the wheels moved. Most biblical scholars hold to the idea that the Spirit of God gave direction to the wheels through direct knowledge of and access to the will of God. The mobility of the wheels suggests the omnipresence of God; the eyes, His omniscience; and the elevated position, His omnipotence.”

Here is a version of the story from the Bible:

"I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north–an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, but each of them had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. Such were their faces. 

Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning. As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.

This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome. Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings. Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking."

Now, traditionally, this would have been interpreted as a visitation from God and an entourage of angels, but there has been speculation over the years that this is actually an early account of extraterrestrial UFOs that has merely been seen through the lens of religious fervor and within a context understandable to the people back then, therefore being mistaken for some sort of heavenly phenomenon. Whatever the case may be, it certainly is a strange story. 

Moving along to 213 BC, we have an odd account that supposedly happened during the Second Punic War, which was the second of three wars fought between Carthage and Rome, the two main powers of the western Mediterranean in the 3rd century BC. According to this account by the Roman historian Livy, a “spectacle of ships gleamed in the sky.” Interestingly, Livy reports another appearance of ships in the sky in 173 BC, when a “great fleet” allegedly appeared in the air, and that “round shields were seen in the sky” over central Italy.

Also from the same general era is the bizarre experience reported by Alexander the Great. There are few figures from history as well-known as Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, who became the king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon in 336 BC at the age of 20. Throughout the course of his rule, he would forge one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Greece to northwestern India, in addition to carving out a reputation as an undefeated military might and one of history's greatest and most successful military commanders, as well as gaining the status of being one of the most influential figures on Western civilization. There have been many tales of Alexander the Great’s numerous exploits and conquests, to the point that he has become an almost legendary, larger than life figure, and one of the strangest of these is the time his army was supposedly harrassed by UFOs. 

A very early report of a bizarre battlefield encounter with something very unusual in the sky supposedly happened in 329 BC, during one of Alexander the Great’s many military campaigns. At the time, the army was advancing on an enemy city, and there was an enormous procession of elephants, horses, and men ready for war. According to the account, as they attempted a nighttime river crossing at the Jaxartes River in Central Asia, now known as the Syr Darya, the army was dive-bombed and menaced by “two great silver shields, spitting fire around the rims,” that so frightened them and panicked the animals that they postponed the crossing until the next day. The account originally came from Macedonian historian Aleksander Donski, who passed it along to the famed UFO researcher and author Frank Edwards, who wrote of it in his book Stranger than Science, but there has been some skepticism as to its veracity because there is no other known source for the story. Edwards would write of the account:

“Alexander the Great tells of two strange craft that dived repeatedly at his army until the war elephants, the men, and the horses all panicked and refused to cross the river where the incident occurred. What did things look like? His historian describes them as great shining silvery shields, spitting fire around the rims… things that came from the skies and returned to the skies.”

Another similar account from around the same time period was given by Italian UFO researcher Alberto Fenoglio, who gives an account that supposedly happened in 332 BC, in the midst of Alexander the Great’s Siege of Tyre, during his campaigns against the Persians. The account reads:

“The fortress would not yield, its walls were fifty feet high and constructed so solidly that no siege-engine was able to damage it. The Tyrians disposed of the greatest technicians and builders of war-machines of the time and they intercepted in the air the incendiary arrows and projectiles hurled by the catapults on the city. One day suddenly there appeared over the Macedonian camp these ‘flying shields’, as they had been called, which flew in triangular formation led by an exceedingly large one, the others were smaller by almost a half. In all there were five. The unknown chronicler narrates that they circled slowly over Tyre while thousands of warriors on both sides stood and watched them in astonishment. Suddenly from the largest ‘shield’ came a lightning-flash that struck the walls, these crumbled, other flashes followed and walls and towers dissolved, as if they had been built of mud, leaving the way open for the besiegers who poured like an avalanche through the breeches. The ‘flying shields’ hovered over the city until it was completely stormed then they very swiftly disappeared aloft, soon melting into the blue sky.”

Once again, there are no known ancient sources for this account, leaving us to wonder just how much veracity it has. Neither of these accounts seems to have much in the way of concrete historical data to back them up, and they are mostly known from the book by Edwards. Despite the complete lack of any identifiable sources, the story of Alexander the Great and his UFOs has managed to work its way into the lore and will pop up from time to time in discussions on ancient UFO sightings. It is a shame that there is so little to corroborate any of it, and is likely a fabrication or very loose and twisted interpretation of historical events, but it is all a damn strange story all the same.  

In the first century AD, Roman-Jewish historian Josephus, writing about a war between Roman and Jewish forces, recorded a supposed “aerial battle” between UFOs in AD 65. He would describe “chariots” in the sky, and “armed battalions hurtling through the clouds.” It was thought at the time that this might be an omen of Roman victory. 

Another curious classical UFO is recorded by the Greek writer Plutarch in his work Life of Lucullus, a Roman general. Lucullus’ forces were getting ready to go to battle with King Mithridates VI of Pontus when a strange object appeared between the two armies, of which is written:

“Suddenly, the sky burst asunder, and a huge, flame-like body was seen to fall between the two armies. In shape, it was most like a wine-jar (pithos), and in colour, like molten silver. Both sides were astonished at the sight, and separated.”

What was this thing? A meteor or something else? Jumping ahead to 779 AD, we have an account from Liber de Grandine et Tonitruis, Chapter XI, by Agobard, Archbishop of Lyons, where it is written:

“We have, however, seen and heard many men plunged in such great stupidity, sunk in such depths of folly, as to believe that there is a certain region, which they call Magonia, whence ships sail in the clouds, in order to carry back to that region those fruits of the earth which are destroyed by hail and tempests; the sailors paying rewards to the storm wizards and themselves receiving corn and other produce. Out of the number of those whose blind folly was deep enough to allow them to believe these things possible, I saw several exhibiting in a certain concourse of people, four persons in bonds—three men and a woman who they said had fallen from these same ships; after keeping them for some days in captivity they had brought them before the assembled multitude, as we have said, in our presence to be stoned. But truth prevailed."

It is unclear what happened to these mysterious strangers after this, or if this story is anything more than mere myth and legend. From 1211 AD, there is an account from Gervase of Tilbury, an English chronicler of historical events and curiosities, who wrote:

“There happened in the borough of Cloera, one Sunday, while the people were at Mass, a marvel. In this town is a church dedicated to St. Kinarus. It befell that an anchor was dropped from the sky, with a rope attached to it, and one of the flukes caught in the arch above the church door. The people rushed out of the church and saw in the sky a ship with men on board, floating before the anchor cable, and they saw a man leap overboard and jump down to the anchor, as if to release it. He looked as if he were swimming in water. The folk rushed up and tried to seize him; but the Bishop forbade the people to hold the man, for it might kill him, he said. The man was freed, and hurried up to the ship, where the crew cut the rope and the ship sailed out of sight. But the anchor is in the church, and has been there ever since, as a testimony.”

What in the world was this? Next, we come to the year 1492, with Christopher Columbus and his crew in uncharted waters, reaching out over unexplored horizons to penetrate a new era, on their way to the eventual discovery of the New World. There were many strange and exciting discoveries to come, but before that, a bizarre series of events would supposedly play out, beginning with a strange sighting made on the evening of September 15, 1492. The Diario of Christopher Columbus's First Voyage to America, written by the Spanish historian Bartolomé de las Casas, describes how the crew witnessed a strange phenomenon in the sky, which is described as follows:

“They sailed that day and night 27 leagues and a few more on their route west. And on this night, at the beginning of it, they saw a marvelous branch of fire fall from the sky into the sea, distant from them four or five leagues.”

While this very well could have been a meteor, it seems curious that it was spectacular enough for them to make mention of it and emphasize it as a “branch of fire,” especially when they were likely to have witnessed many meteors in the sky during the voyage. Oddly, many interpretations of this sighting claim it as having been the opposite, and that the light was actually coming out of the ocean to shoot up into the sky. It is intriguing at the very least, but this was only one of several weird incidents they witnessed, according to Casas’ account. The following month, on October 11, 1492, the expedition was only hours away from their historic discovery of the Americas, and on this evening, the Admiral spotted something very unusual on the horizon. It seemed to be a light bobbing up and down in the air, and it was odd enough that the Admiral called others to come look at it. Cases writes:

“After sunset he [Columbus] steered on his former course to the west. They made about 12 miles each hour and, until two hours after midnight, made about 90 miles, which is twenty-two leagues and a half. And because the caravel Pinta was a better sailor and went ahead of the Admiral [Columbus] it found land and made the signals that the Admiral had ordered. A sailor named Rodrigo de Triana saw this land first, although the Admiral, at the tenth hour of the night, while he was on the sterncastle, saw a light, although it was something so faint that he did not wish to affirm that it was land. But he called Pero Gutierrez, the steward of the king's dais, and told him that there seemed to be a light, and for him to look: and thus he did and saw it.

He also told Rodrigo Sanchez de Segovia, whom the king and queen were sending as veedor [inspector] of the fleet, who saw nothing because he was not in a place where he could see it. After the Admiral said it, it was seen once or twice; and it was like a small wax candle that rose and lifted up, which to few seemed to be an indication of land. But the Admiral was certain that they were near land, because of which when they recited the Salve, which sailors in their own way are accustomed to recite and sing, all being present, the Admiral entreated and admonished them to keep a good lookout on the forecastle and to watch carefully for land; and that to the man who first told him that he saw land he would later give a silk jacket in addition to the other rewards that the sovereigns had promised, which were ten thousand maravedis [silver coins] as an annuity to whoever should see it first.”

It was apparently seen by many witnesses on several of the ships, leaving us to ask what this light was? This was all surrounded by various compass oddities they had experienced during the voyage. In short, the compass reportedly was constantly going haywire without any discernible reason, to the point that it had become quite unsettling for the crew. In a 1792 manuscript called The American Geography, by Jedidiah Morse, it is written of this anomaly:

“On the 14th of September he [Columbus] was astonished to find that the magnetic needle in their compass, did not point exactly to the polar star, but varied toward the west; and as they proceeded, this variation increased. This new phenomenon filled the companions of Columbus with terror. Nature itself seemed to have sustained a change; and the only guide they had left, to point them to a safe retreat from an unbounded and trackless ocean, was about to fail them. Columbus, with no less quickness than ingenuity, assigned a reason for this appearance, which, though it did not satisfy himself, seemed so plausible to them, that it dispelled their fears, or silenced their murmurs.”

All of this has been taken in modern times as a sign that Columbus and his men saw UFOs, and that either these or their proximity to the Bermuda Triangle at the time caused the compasses to malfunction. The case was famously shown on The History Channel and has generated quite a bit of discussion, but what are we really looking at here? One of the main problems with the reports is that, although they are often claimed as being from Christopher Columbus’ diary, the fact is that there is no known actual copy of that diary remaining. It all comes from the work of Bartolomé de las Casas, which was a supposed copy of the original log and diary, and it is important to note that Casas was never actually on the voyage and wrote this 50 years after the fact. Since it is not the actual original, there is no way to know how much of it was really from Columbus’ pen and how much was perhaps extrapolated or even exaggerated by Casas.

However, Casas was a well-respected historian not given to changing things around, and for the most part, it seems that Columbus and his men saw something, but what? There have been many interpretations and ideas thrown around, including that he saw bioluminescent sea life, a meteor, some sort of atmospheric phenomenon, or even Natives with torches on a canoe, but the most popular theory is that they simply saw lights from land. The October sighting was made just hours before land was sighted, so it seems reasonable to suggest that it might have been lights from the Natives on shore. Even Casas thought this, writing:

“I feel about this is that the Indians at night throughout these islands, as they are temperate without any cold, go out or used to go out from their straw houses that they call bohíos at night to comply with their natural necessities and take in hand a firebrand, or small torch, or a chink of pine or of another very dry and resinous wood which burns like a torch, when it is dark night, and with which they guide themselves back again, and in the manner could be seen the light which Christopher Columbus and the others saw the light three or four times.”

In the end, there is no way to really know for sure what happened here. We are left with a second-hand copy of the original journal and no way of really verifying any of it. Was this UFOs, Natives with torches, or what? It is all a curious little footnote in the history of Christopher Columbus, and likely will remain a mostly forgotten curiosity and historical oddity that will never be fully solved.

Another early case that stands out as flat-out spectacular and bonkers is an odd phenomenon that purportedly played out in the skies over Nuremberg, Germany, in 1561. On April 14th of that year, normal life ground to a halt as citizens looked upwards with a mixture of awe and fear as something very strange happened up there. There whizzing about in the heavens were reportedly hundreds of mysterious objects of all shapes and sizes, including spheres, cylinders, tubes, saucer-like objects, crosses, ovals, lunar crescents, a black spear, and myriad others, which seemed to be engaged in some sort of free-for-all aerial battle, scorching the sky with their hostilities, after which one of them was said to crash somewhere out in the wilderness. The objects moved erratically and with great speed, and an article that appeared in the local paper at the time said of this bizarre scene:

“At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes.

These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows."

The whole thing apparently lasted for a full hour, after which all of these various objects flew off towards the sun. The article was accompanied by a woodblock print depicting the battle, which was also brought into modern discourse when it was published in Carl Jung's 1958 book Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, and it has left people scratching their heads ever since. At the time of the article it was largely seen as some sort of celestial battle and a sign from God, but of course in that era flying spaceships would not have really been a thing since it was an age when we didn’t even understand the cosmos in the first place, let alone flying machines that could traverse the stars. It only makes sense that they would try to explain it in a religious context, with something they could understand. In later centuries, it has come to be seen as perhaps some sort of atmospheric phenomenon such as a sundog, flying swarms of insects, clouds, birds, a sensationalized tall tale, or even an actual mass battle between UFOs. It is likely we will never know, considering how lost to time the report is, but it is definitely curious.

Also from the 16th century is an event that allegedly took place outside of Tübingen, Germany on December 7, 1577, and which was written of in the 1594 posthumous edition of Pierre Boaistuau’s Histoires Prodigieuses. The report reads:

“About the sun many dark clouds appeared… Out of these clouds have come forth reverberations resembling large, tall and wide hats, and the earth showed itself yellow and bloody, and seemed to be covered with hats, tall and wide, which appeared in various colors such as red, blue, green, and most of them black… It is easy for everyone to think of the meaning of this miracle, which is that God wants to induce men to amend their lives and make penance. May Almighty God inspire all men to recognize Him. Amen.”

Again, is this an extraterrestrial phenomenon posing as a religious vision? In 1628, the English Puritan settlers of the New World established the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was the second major settlement in New England following the Plymouth Colony. A very important figure at the time was a lawyer named John Winthrop, who was in charge of a huge wave of settlers coming to America, and he would serve as the governor of the colony for 12 years starting from 1629. Winthrop would also be the founder of various other communities along Massachusetts Bay and the Charles River, and was also known as an authoritarian and religiously conservative leader, known to be against pure democracy, once calling it “the meanest and worst of all forms of government.” Despite this, he was still a well-respected leader and politician who has made his mark upon the early history of the United States, with some of his writings serving to influence politicians to this day, but a lesser-known aspect of the man is that he also wrote some pretty weird stuff in his journals, including what is thought to be among the very first UFO accounts in the New World.

Tucked away between the pages of various mundane accounts of colonial life is a very curious entry dated March 1, 1639, in which Winthrop writes of a very bizarre and outlandish  incident involving a man named James Everell, whom he describes as a “discreet, sober man.” According to Winthrop, Everell had been rowing with two other men up a section of the Muddy River, about two miles from the village of Charlestown, when they saw a “great light in the sky,” which seemed to dart about back and forth. He would describe the account as follows:

“When it stood still, it flamed up, and was about three yards square; when it ran, it was contracted into the figure of a swine: it ran as swift as an arrow towards Charlton [Charlestown], and so up and down about two or three hours ran as swift as an arrow, darting back and forth between them and the village of Charlestown, about two miles away. They were come down in their lighter about a mile, and, when it was over, they found themselves carried quite back against the tide to the place they came from. Diverse other credible persons saw the same light, after, about the same place.”

The men claimed that after the sighting, they had inexplicably found themselves transported about one mile upstream, with no idea or memory of how they had gotten there, nor any sense of the time that had passed. This is an odd detail, as it would mark this incident as not only one of the first reports of a UFO in America, but also the first account of missing time and possibly even the first of alien abduction. One of the explanations at the time was that the men had merely seen illumination from a light phenomenon springing from swamp gas, called ignis fatuus, caused by the combustion of gas from decomposed organic matter. Others thought it was just a misidentified meteorite, and one skeptic was a man named James Savage, who added his footnote to the sighting in a published version of Winthrop’s journal in 1839, saying:

“This account of an ignis fatuus [pale light over marshy ground] may easily be believed on testimony less respectable than that which was adduced. Some operation of the devil, or other power beyond the customary agents of nature, was probably imagined by the relaters and hearers of that age, and the wonder of being carried a mile against the tide became important corroboration of the imagination. Perhaps they were wafted [carry lightly], during the two- or three-hours’ astonishment, for so moderate a distance, by the wind; but, if this suggestion be rejected, we might suppose, that the eddy, flowing always, in our rivers, contrary to the tide in the channel, rather than the meteor, carried their lighter back.”

In the end, neither swamp gas nor meteorites seems to adequately explain what the men reported as written in Winthrop’s journal, and considering that it is only mentioned in one entry and happened so long ago, we will probably never know for sure. Interestingly, this isn’t even the only weird such account to be found within Winthrop’s journals. Five years later there is another entry dated January 18, 1644, which makes mention of a light rising from the water that was witnessed by several boatmen near Boston. This light was apparently “in form like a man,” and “went at a small distance to the town, and so to the south point, and there vanished away.” A few weeks after this yet another journal entry mentions another strange report from Boston Harbor, in which Winthrop writes:

“A light like the moon arose about the N.E. point in Boston, and met the former at Nottles Island, and there they closed in one, and then parted, and closed and parted diverse times, and so went over the hill in the island and vanished. Sometimes they shot out flames and sometimes sparkles. This was about eight of the clock in the evening, and was seen by many. About the same time, a voice was heard upon the water between Boston and Dorchester, calling out in a most dreadful manner, ‘Boy! Boy! Come away! Come away!’; and it suddenly shifted from one place to another a great distance, about 20 times. It was heard by diverse godly persons. About 14 days after, the same voice in the same dreadful manner was heard by others on the other side of the town towards Nottles Island.”

Winthrop would muse that the voice he heard was perhaps from the ghost of a sailor who had died several months before the UFO sighting when his ship had exploded when gunpowder had accidentally been ignited. Whatever the case may be, it is a pretty bizarre report, and it is hard to know what might be going on here. Once again, it only appears in one entry and is never brought up again, leaving it firmly and forever in the realm of speculation. It is all quite a strange case and series of events, and we are left to try and make sense of it all. Was any of this real, and if so, what was it? Or was this just a gag thrown into an important historical figure's journal, and if so, why? It is certainly a bizarre historical oddity, which has definite repercussions on the UFO discussion and which many are not aware even exists at all.

An otherworldly series of events allegedly occurred in April of 1665 in the skies over Barhöfft, which was then in Sweden, but is now in Germany. On this occasion, there were supposedly seen several disc-shaped objects that were battling amongst themselves, after which they scattered, and one remained hovering there, which apparently made all those who looked upon it sick. One Erasmus Francisci would write of this in a 1689 article entitled Der wunder-reiche Ueberzug unserer Nider-Welt/Oder Erd-umgebende, in which he says of the battle and its aftermath:

“After a while out of the sky came a flat round form, like a plate, looking like the big hat of a man… Its color was that of the darkening moon, and it hovered right over the Church of St. Nicolai. There it remained stationary until the evening. The fishermen, worried to death, didn’t want to look further at the spectacle and buried their faces in their hands. On the following days, they fell sick with trembling all over and pain in head and limbs. Many scholarly people thought a lot about that.”

As with the Nuremburg case, this has been speculated as being mirages, birds, or some other mundane phenomena, but the detail of the fishermen falling sick is intriguing, and makes one wonder if this could have been an effect of radiation sickness in an era when we didn’t even know what radiation was. What do we make of this account?

Looking at such cases as we have examined here, it is plain to see that the UFO phenomenon is far from a modern-day construct. It is also interesting that, although some of the very earliest biblical accounts seem to look at it through a cultural lens, many of the accounts are spookily similar to any report you might read today, suggesting that these aerial phenomena spotted in modern times might be the very same entities sighted centuries ago. Could this be, and if these are alien forces, might they have been on Earth for far longer than presumed? Or is this all just misidentification and tall tales? In any case, it all deepens the landscape of the UFO phenomenon and adds another layer of strangeness.

Japan’s UFO Village: 50 Years of Strange Sightings in Eno Town

Tucked away in the rural mountains of Fukushima, Japan, lies a small and enigmatic town that has fascinated UFO enthusiasts for decades. Known as a major hotspot for unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings, Eno Village has attracted attention not only from locals and curious tourists but also from researchers and skeptics alike.

The Mysterious Mount Senganmori

At the heart of this intrigue stands Mount Senganmori, a conical 400-meter-high mountain often likened to an artificial pyramid due to its shape. Many believe that the mountain’s unusual magnetic properties are a major reason behind the high frequency of sightings in the area. Visitors can even test this magnetism using small compass kits provided near the summit—a playful yet curious reminder that something truly unique may be happening here.

This distinctive landscape has become symbolic of Japan’s long-standing fascination with unexplained aerial phenomena. Numerous reports have surfaced over the years, including some of Japan’s most compelling UFO photographs, taken by hikers and residents who discovered unusual objects only after reviewing their images later.

The International UFO Lab

Established in 1992, the International UFO Lab, located at the base of Mount Senganmori, serves as the country’s epicenter for UFO research. It houses a vast collection of over 3,000 photos, videos, and materials associated with sightings. Many of the photographs on display have never been published elsewhere and offer glimpses into unexplained aerial activity documented throughout Japan.

One standout image, taken in 2018 by hikers on a nearby peak, shows a strange object suspended in the sky with no clear explanation. These types of encounters—where people only notice something unusual after the fact—add to the mystery and perceived authenticity of such sightings.

A History of Sightings

Eno Village and the surrounding Fukushima region boast the second-highest concentration of UFO sightings in Japan, just behind Tokyo. A particularly notable incident occurred in 1974, when an entire school of children reportedly witnessed ten UFOs flying in formation over the region—an event still remembered and referenced by locals.

Adding to the intrigue is the presence of scientific monitoring in the area following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. With researchers collecting various environmental data, some speculate that high-tech surveillance equipment may have unintentionally captured unexplained aerial activity, further validating long-standing local reports.

Firsthand Witness: The Story of Murai-san

One of the town’s most publicized eyewitnesses is Murai-san, who claims to have seen a UFO above Mount Senganmori in the late 1970s. His account, marked by humility and clarity, stands out among the many stories surrounding the area. Murai-san described seeing multiple lights moving in formation—something he insists could not be explained by conventional aircraft.

His story, like many others in the region, isn’t about fame or attention. Rather, it’s a quiet recounting of a personal experience that has stayed with him for nearly 50 years.

A Place That Raises More Questions Than Answers

Mount Senganmori and Eno Village have become more than just a curiosity—they symbolize Japan’s open-minded yet analytical approach to the unexplained. Whether it’s the town’s geography, magnetic properties, or its history with high-tech monitoring, Eno Village offers fertile ground for both scientific inquiry and imaginative wonder.

For those who visit, the town raises more questions than it answers. What causes these frequent sightings? Is it natural magnetism, human technology, or something entirely unknown? While definitive explanations remain elusive, one thing is certain—Eno Village holds a special place in Japan’s long and curious relationship with the skies above.

The location of a golden chest believed to hold the original version of the Ten Commandments has long been a mystery, with many people doubting that it ever existed at all. But CIA documents claims the Ark of the Covenant was found in the 1980s, by people who were involved in the government’s controversial remote viewing program, which implemented a psychic training regimen that helped participants unlock hidden powers of clairvoyance (the ability to see into the future, or to perceive objects or events that were outside the range of the normal senses).

According to biblical accounts, the Ark of the Covenant was constructed by the Israelites soon after their exodus from Egypt, around the 15th century BC. Moses is said to have placed the Ten Commandments inside the sacred chest, to ensure their safety and preservation. But the location of the Ark, assuming it really exists, was lost in time long ago.

During the 1980s, the CIA (along with other intelligence agencies, like the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)) conducted many experiments with remote viewing, which those who were closest to the program have long maintained produced real successes. In Project Stargate, remote viewers were asked to locate people or objects wherever they might be in the world, and at times they were even tasked with viewing locations that were off-planet, such as the Moon and Mars. In many instances the readings were carried out blindly, meaning the remote viewers were given a set of map coordinates and then asked to visit these places with their mind and describe what they saw.

• Ancient Stargate: Can Sakwala Chakraya Unlock Interstellar Travel?
• Tiresias, Blinded by the Gods and Blessed with Second Sight

One of these tests involved a participant, identified as Remote Viewer No. 032, was secretly tasked with finding the Ark of the Covenant (he wasn’t told what he was looking for, but was only asked to view what he could find at certain coordinates).

What the man described did in fact seem to fit the description of the Ark, and his sessions were considered a success. This remote viewer seemingly confirmed the Ark of the Covenant was concealed somewhere in the Middle East, apparently validating the information that had led to him being given a particular set of coordinates in the first place.

Historians generally believe the Ark was once stored within the Holy of Holies, the most sacred inner chamber of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. However, it vanished from historical records following the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. Some legends suggest the artifact was secretly taken to Ethiopia, where it is said to remain in a local church. Despite ongoing theories, no definitive evidence of the Ark has been found. But the CIA document, which was declassified in 2000 and has finally come to light now, asserts that the sacred relic was in fact located 37 years ago—although obviously it remains unrecovered.

Remote Viewing the Ark’s Location

The CIA document recounts the results of a session in which the remote viewer described the target as "a container" housing another container within it. The report further details that the object was composed of wood, gold, and silver and featured the depiction of a six-winged angel.

The viewer identified the object as resembling a coffin and stated that it was situated somewhere in the Middle East. Additionally, they noted the presence of Arabic-speaking individuals in the surrounding area. Notably, the participant was unaware before the session that they were searching for the lost Ark, and the coordinates they were given were such that it was impossible to tell where on the globe the artifact was suspected of being.

Biblical tradition holds that this gold-covered wooden chest was crafted around 1445 BC. The Ten Commandments, which were inscribed on stone tablets, were given to Moses by God and contained foundational laws, such as "thou shalt not kill" and "honor thy mother and father."

Many scholars suggest that the Ark remained within the ancient temple for centuries, during which time only the High Priest of the Israelites was permitted to view it, and only on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. Then, at some point, it vanished without a trace, meaning it might have been either been stolen or moved in secret to a more secure location to protect it from thieves.

Despite its unknown fate, the declassified CIA report—linked to the secretive "Project Sun Streak"—suggests that US intelligence agencies were interested in finding the Ark, and were relatively convinced that their remote viewer had done so.

Project Sun Streak Exposed

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other intelligence organizations, including the CIA, employed individuals who reportedly possessed paranormal abilities to acquire intelligence on distant events.

(United States Central Intelligence Agency).

Project Sun Streak was one such initiative that sought to use remote viewers to identify and gather intelligence on distant locations through a process of psychic visualization (clairvoyance), essentially relying on their ability to project their consciousness outside of their bodies. Remote viewers were tasked with a range of operations, including tracking fugitives and locating hostages held by terrorist organizations.

The existence of this project gained renewed public attention after it was discussed in a recent episode of the Ninjas are Butterflies podcast. Podcast host Josh Hooper initially dismissed Project Sun Streak as a hoax, but was surprised to find official documentation of the program, and the eye-opening Ark of the Covenant session on the CIA’s website.

"I was like... 'what am I looking at?'" Hooper said, in an interview with the Daily Mail.

The CIA document describes a training exercise that took place on December 5, 1988. During the session, a remote viewer projected their consciousness beyond their physical self in an effort to locate the Ark of the Covenant, recording their perceptions along the way. "What he wrote was bone-chilling," Hooper commented.

The remote viewer detailed that the artifact was hidden underground in a dark and damp location. Their observations suggested the Ark played a role in uniting people and held a spiritual and ceremonial significance. They also believed it contained profound historical knowledge not yet understood.

Furthermore, the viewer claimed that the Ark was guarded by powerful entities and could only be accessed by those deemed worthy. The document stated that when the correct time arrived, the locking mechanism would be found to be relatively simple. However, anyone attempting to force it open improperly would be "destroyed by the container’s protectors through the use of a power unknown to us."

The declassified report includes sketches and handwritten notes from the remote viewing session. Among these drawings are images of what appear to be architectural features, a domed mosque, eight figures resembling mummies, a wheel, and a winged creature referred to as a seraphim. The document also contains lists of cryptic words such as "death," "forbidden," "protected," "sacred," "destroyed," "pain," and "anguish."

Theories Abound, but Still No Ark

Some researchers speculate that the Ark of the Covenant may be hidden somewhere in Ethiopia. Although the remote viewer placed it in the Middle East, Ethiopia is home to a sizable Arabic-speaking population and has numerous mosques.

A longstanding Ethiopian religious legend holds that the Ark was brought to the country by Menelik, believed to be the son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba, who hailed from Ethiopia, ruled over a kingdom that included parts of modern-day Yemen. According to the legend, Menelik journeyed to Jerusalem to study under his father and ultimately took the Ark with him back to Aksum, Ethiopia, where it was placed in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion.

British scholar Edward Ullendorff, an expert in Semitic languages and Ethiopian studies, claimed to have seen the Ark inside the church during World War II. However, in 2018, historian Tudor Parfitt disputed this assertion, stating that what Ullendorff actually saw was merely a replica.

Parfitt explained, "What he saw was what you find in any Ethiopian church, which is a model of the Ark of the Covenant." He further noted that Ullendorff had remarked that the artifact "didn't differ in any way from many arks he had seen in other churches in Ethiopia," and it was "neither ancient nor the original Ark."

Despite centuries of speculation, the true fate of this sacred relic remains an unsolved mystery, waiting for definitive evidence to emerge. While the CIA document is extremely intriguing, the information it produced did not produce a specific address or landmark where the Ark might be located, so no rescue operation could be mounted. But if the information obtained by the remote viewer is correct and not just a product of his imagination, it means that the Ark does definitely exist and it is being kept safe and sound somewhere in the Middle East, which could narrow the range of a future search to at least some degree.

Project Serpo: The Secret Alien Exchange Program Where Only 7 of 12 Returned

One of the most astonishing and controversial stories in the history of alleged extraterrestrial contact is the Zeta Reticuli Exchange Program, more widely known as Project Serpo. This secret mission, allegedly orchestrated by the U.S. government, involved sending twelve military personnel on a ten-year journey to an alien planet located in the Zeta Reticuli star system. The mission ended with only seven returning—sparking decades of speculation, mystery, and conspiracy.

Origins of Project Serpo

The idea for an exchange program reportedly began in the 1950s, following years of interaction between U.S. intelligence agencies and a race of extraterrestrials known as the Ebens. These beings, believed to be survivors of the 1947 Roswell incident, maintained contact with Earth and eventually proposed a unique collaboration: a cultural and scientific exchange.

By 1963, following President Kennedy’s interest in space exploration and secrecy surrounding extraterrestrial encounters, formal communication with the Ebens intensified. A planned landing was scheduled, and on April 24, 1964, two alien crafts arrived—one landing in the wrong location near Corona, New Mexico, and the other later successfully touching down near Holloman Air Force Base.

Selection and Training of the Team

To prepare for the mission, the U.S. military called for volunteers through classified channels. Around 600 personnel responded. The list was narrowed to 16, and ultimately, 12 men were selected to take part in the exchange. The criteria were strict: no close family ties, psychological resilience, and a diverse range of skills including medicine, science, and navigation.

Training took place at top-secret facilities, including Fort Belvoir, CIA’s “The Farm”, and abroad in locations such as Mexico and Chile. Subjects included astronomy, alien language basics, survival, and even acclimation techniques for unknown atmospheric conditions.

Departure and Journey to Serpo

The departure took place on July 16, 1965, at the Nevada Test Site near the infamous Area 51. The alien spacecraft that arrived was capable of transporting 40 tons of equipment, including vehicles, supplies, and gear. The Americans boarded the ship, along with their supplies, and began a 10-month journey through deep space.

Traveling at speeds over 40 times the speed of light, the crew experienced disorientation and health issues. To protect them, they were placed in individual “bubbles” that stabilized their biological systems. Time itself became distorted—many lost track of days and nights, and standard timekeeping devices eventually failed. The crew had to adapt to Eben time, based on their planet’s 43-hour day.

Life on Planet Serpo

Upon arrival, the Americans were greeted by the Ebens and gradually introduced to life on their planet. The environment was harsh, with extreme heat near the equator—reaching up to 140°F (60°C)—and two suns illuminating the sky, making nighttime virtually nonexistent. Eventually, the team relocated to a more temperate area known as “Little Montana”, featuring forests, water, and cooler temperatures.

The Ebens lived in simple dwellings, practiced no form of currency, and relied on a communal system for distributing food and resources. Their diet was vegetarian, with food grown hydroponically. Though initially tasteless to the Americans, some foods were noted to have healing properties, particularly during times of illness.

One striking aspect of Eben life was their use of light-based healing technologies, often involving a blue light that could rejuvenate or cure ailments. Their society emphasized peace, balance, and compassion.

Technological Discoveries

Throughout the mission, the Americans observed and interacted with Eben technology. Among the most fascinating items was the Yellow Book, a holographic device that displayed historical events on Earth in 3D form. This device could interpret the viewer’s language and respond accordingly.

Power sources on Serpo included anti-matter energy systems, with one component described as a “crystal rectangle” that adapted its energy output based on demand. This technology, capable of delivering precise voltages, was brought back to Earth and studied for military and scientific applications.

Challenges and Ethical Dilemmas

Despite the scientific breakthroughs, the mission faced significant challenges. One crew member, designated 308, died during the voyage due to a pulmonary embolism. Later, the team learned that his body had been used by the Ebens for cloning experiments, producing a hybrid life form—a revelation that disturbed many and raised ethical concerns about the nature of the exchange.

The Americans were asked not to kill local animals, but some did out of a need for meat. In one case, a snake-like creature with human-like eyes was killed and dissected, revealing a surprisingly human biological structure. This incident, along with other interactions, underlined the profound biological differences and similarities between species.

Return to Earth

Although the mission was planned for ten years, the Americans overstayed due to confusion about the Eben calendar and timekeeping. Only seven members returned to Earth in 1978. The rest had either died or chose to remain on Serpo. Those who came back were quarantined, debriefed, and lived out their remaining years in isolation.

Conclusion

Whether seen as fact, science fiction, or government cover-up, the Zeta Reticuli Exchange Program remains one of the most elaborate and captivating stories of extraterrestrial engagement ever told. The idea that Earth once engaged in a peaceful and cooperative exchange with an alien civilization opens profound questions about our place in the universe, our technological potential, and our willingness to explore the unknown.

If true, Project Serpo is more than a tale—it’s a reflection of humanity’s deepest curiosities and greatest hopes for contact beyond the stars.

Lunar-Like Rock Discovered Deep in the Utah Mountains, March 29, 2025, UFO UAP Sighting News.

Hey all. While hiking nearly five miles into the remote mountains of Utah, I came across a truly bizarre rock unlike anything I’ve seen before. The area was completely isolated—no one around for miles. The stone is unusually heavy for its size, with a pale gray interior that closely resembles known lunar meteorites and a dark, crust-like exterior that hints at high atmospheric heat. What really caught my attention is that it’s completely non-magnetic, which lines up with rare achondrite meteorites, including those originating from the Moon. Is this a fragment of another world that crash-landed in Utah centuries ago? I’m sharing close-up photos here—take a look and decide for yourself.

Watch this short video, and you see a huge glowing sphere over some mountains of Kent, England. It was recorded at 10pm and does have too powerful of a glow to be any type of known aircraft and its just sitting there as if it came from a tunnel from below the ground from a deep alien base. This if short, but its magnificent evidence that UFOs do have powerful colors when they choose too.

Pure White Ball Stops Mid-Air—Eyewitness Captures It on Video! UFO UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: March 27, 2025

Location of sighting: Carrollton, Georgia, USA

 

Hey, this just in. A white sphere shot across the sky but stopped when  it noticed a human below watching it. This is something I don't get to say too often, but really should. Orbs are curious about us and curious about how we would react to them once we see them. You see, everyone reacts differently, so an orb might reveal itself to few thousand people far away and maybe a dozen close up...meaning a few meters away. The colors change depending on the lighting and the distance, but they always...I repeat...alway look white far away during the day. Often called cloud orbs, because they zoom in and out of the clouds gathering information and yes...reading thoughts of the humans below. No not insane, I experienced it first hand two meters from me so don't even go there. Close up the orbs look like grapefruit size slowly swirling grey, dark grey and white combination. But not like smoke, more like white paint, with grey metallic sparkly paint and dark non sparkly color. I remember being slightly shocked when I saw the darkness in the orb, I wondered if it was its anger or emotions being visible...and worried I angered it, but when I grabbed my tripod and flung around my camera it shot 50-75 meters and held position...now only appearing like a white dot on my video. I frightened it.

Some days ago we wrote about recent satellite scans which have revealed massive structures buried up to two kilometers beneath the Giza Plateau, particularly beneath the Pyramid of Khafre. Researchers speculate that these hidden formations may not only contain undiscovered chambers, possibly linked to the legendary Hall of Records but that these subterranean structures could also function similarly to Nikola Tesla's coil, suggesting that they may have once served as colossal power plants, generating and distributing energy on a grand scale. 

This revelation has reignited interest in the prophecies of Edgar Cayce, often called the "Sleeping Prophet." Cayce predicted the existence of an underground chamber, known as the Hall of Records, containing lost knowledge from Atlantis, hidden beneath the Sphinx. He also spoke of a powerful energy grid, which he believed once existed in the region. 

In the 1930s, Cayce’s psychic readings described Atlantis as a technologically advanced civilization, (Could it be that the Atlanteans were the previous civilization that was on Earth?) that collapsed around 10,500 BC due to corruption and the misuse of power. According to him, survivors of this catastrophe fled to Egypt, where they shared knowledge of engineering, spirituality, and civilization-building. Cayce suggested that these Atlantean refugees played a pivotal role in constructing the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx shortly after their arrival. 

Suppose that the Atlanteans indeed contributed to these monumental structures, could they have collaborated not only with the local inhabitants but also with giant humanoids who once roamed the Earth? 

Cayce described the Hall of Records as an underground chamber situated between the Sphinx and the Nile River, with its entrance concealed near the Sphinx’s right paw. He claimed the hall contained inscriptions in both Atlantean and Egyptian scripts and was designed in a pyramid-like shape. He further prophesied that its discovery would coincide with a period of global upheaval and transformation. 

Despite extensive archaeological investigations, definitive proof of the Hall of Records remains elusive. However, as early as the 1990s, ground-penetrating radar detected anomalies and hollow spaces beneath the Sphinx. With advancements in technology and the recent satellite scans, could Cayce's predictions, regarding a powerful energy grid and the Hall of Records containing lost Atlantean knowledge, prove to be true? 

As scientific inquiry continues, we may be on the verge of uncovering secrets buried deep beneath the pyramids, potentially reshaping our understanding of history.

Lacerta’s Final Warning: Reptilian Secrets, UFO Crashes & Hidden Human-Alien Deals

In the final installment of the enigmatic Lacerta Files, a being claiming to be a member of an ancient reptilian species steps forward to deliver what may be her most striking testimony yet. Known only as Lacerta, this reptilian entity offers a glimpse into a hidden world, not beyond the stars, but beneath our very feet—an underground civilization that, according to her, has existed for tens of thousands of years, far from human eyes.

A Glimpse into the Underground World

Lacerta begins by painting a vivid picture of her subterranean homeland, a vast, dome-shaped habitat deep beneath the Earth’s surface. Her descriptions include advanced technology, self-sustaining energy sources, agricultural systems, and intricate social structures—all tucked away beneath the crust of our planet.

This underground world, according to Lacerta, is one of many colonies spread across the globe. These settlements have been engineered with precision: artificial suns emit UV light for warmth and photosynthesis, and domed structures regulate air, water, and even gravity. The reptilian species, she says, have evolved to thrive in this environment, maintaining both biological independence and technological superiority.

Meeting “E” – Trust Beyond Species

For the first time, Lacerta opens up about how she met “E,” the human responsible for recording her words. The encounter, she explains, was not planned. While conducting surface research in a remote forest, she stumbled upon a lone cabin. Inside was E, a man whose personality and open-mindedness intrigued her. Despite orders not to initiate contact with humans, Lacerta’s curiosity got the better of her.

Disguised using what she calls “mimicry,” Lacerta began engaging with E in casual conversation, slowly building trust over multiple encounters. Eventually, she revealed her true form—an act that shocked but did not alienate E. Their relationship evolved into a series of deeper discussions about science, religion, and the nature of human existence, ultimately leading to the publication of her accounts.

The Dark Truth Behind UFO Crashes

Perhaps the most disturbing part of Lacerta’s testimony is her explanation of UFO crashes—a topic often met with ridicule or mystery. According to her, many of these incidents, including the infamous Roswell crash of 1947, were not random malfunctions. Instead, they were tied to covert arrangements between certain human governments and alien species.

Lacerta claims that between 1946 and 1953, at least five extraterrestrial craft crashed on Earth. The crashes were attributed not to mechanical failures, but to Earth’s fluctuating magnetic fields—conditions unfamiliar to the alien craft’s design. Still, the bigger revelation lies in what happened after the crashes.

According to Lacerta, these events sparked a relationship between human authorities and an alien species—one she categorizes as hostile. In exchange for advanced technology, these extraterrestrials were granted something far more intimate: access to human biological material. This agreement allegedly gave non-human entities permission to observe, experiment on, and even abduct humans, all under the guise of scientific research.

• https://youtu.be/-VXS9kHdHrE

Over time, these deals soured. Lacerta reveals that by the late 1970s, tensions had escalated due to technological deceptions and violations of the treaty terms. Eventually, this culminated in armed confrontations at underground bases, and the withdrawal of direct alien support.

The Implications of Lacerta’s Story

If Lacerta’s words are to be taken at face value, the implications are staggering. Her testimony suggests that human history, technological advancement, and even our position in the cosmos are far more manipulated than we dare to believe. From underground civilizations to interspecies treaties, the Lacerta Files propose a reality in which humanity is not the apex of intelligence on this planet, but merely one of many players in a much larger game.

Still, Lacerta insists that her people will not interfere. She urges humans to evolve, to think critically, and to question narratives—especially those handed down through fear and control. Her final message? “You are free spirits. Learn to free yourselves from the chains of ancient conditioning.”

UAP Whistleblower David Grusch Joins Congressman Eric Burlison as Senior Adviser

In a development that could significantly impact ongoing investigations into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), David Grusch, the former intelligence official known for his explosive whistleblower testimony about non-human craft, is set to become a senior adviser to Congressman Eric Burlison (R-Mo.). Burlison is a key member of the House Oversight Committee and the UAP Task Force, both of which are actively involved in efforts to increase transparency surrounding the U.S. government’s knowledge of UAPs.

From Whistleblower to Congressional Adviser

David Grusch gained national attention in 2023 after publicly alleging that the U.S. government possesses retrieved craft of non-human origin, a claim that sparked widespread interest and controversy. In interviews and sworn testimony, Grusch asserted that secret programs have existed for years, involving the collection and reverse engineering of crashed or landed extraterrestrial vehicles. While he was limited in what he could say publicly due to national security protocols, his claims captured the attention of Congress and the general public alike.

Now, in a major shift, Grusch will step into an official role within Capitol Hill, lending his expertise directly to lawmakers as they navigate the complex and often classified world of UAP-related investigations.

Why This Role Matters

Congressman Burlison has been one of several lawmakers—including Representatives Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna, and Jared Moskowitz—who have aggressively pursued answers about UAPs. By bringing Grusch onto his team, Burlison is gaining a uniquely knowledgeable adviser who understands both the bureaucratic landscape of intelligence agencies and the classified nature of UAP data.

Grusch’s role could be instrumental in helping lawmakers ask the right questions, identify credible leads, and pursue legislative strategies aimed at disclosure. Many members of Congress have expressed frustration over not knowing how to move forward or which threads to pull when it comes to the UAP issue. Grusch’s insider knowledge could bridge that gap.

Possible Increase in Security Clearance

As a congressional staffer, Grusch may now be eligible for increased security clearance, potentially allowing him to access or discuss more sensitive information behind closed doors. This could be a key factor in unlocking further testimony or documents that have so far remained out of reach due to classification restrictions.

Grusch has previously stated that certain details about UAP-related programs could only be revealed in classified settings. If granted higher clearance, his ability to share these insights with members of Congress could help push the UAP investigation into new territory.

A Turning Point in UAP Transparency?

This move marks a significant milestone in the UAP transparency movement. For the first time, a prominent whistleblower with direct knowledge of alleged non-human craft will work inside the legislative process, rather than merely testifying to it.

As congressional interest in UAPs grows and the public continues to demand answers, David Grusch’s new role could provide both direction and credibility to ongoing efforts. Whether this leads to new revelations or policy changes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the conversation around UAPs just got a lot more serious.

EXCLUSIVE  - Experts now even more confident a 'vast city' exists under Giza Pyramids in Egypt after new discovery

• READ MORE:  Scientists reveal new secrets about structures under pyramid

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Scientists on a mission to prove a 'vast city' sits more than 4,000 feet below Egypt's Giza Pyramids have released a new analysis they say proves the findings to be true.

Last week, the team in Italy presented bombshell research that claimed to have discovered multi-thousand-foot-tall wells and chambers under the Khafre Pyramid.

If true, it would turn Egyptian - and human - history on its head, though independent experts have said the discovery is 'completely wrong' and lacked any scientific basis

The wells and chambers were identified by sending 'high-frequency electromagnetic waves' into the subsurface, and the way signals bounced back allowed researchers to map structures beneath the pyramid.

The team used 'a specialized algorithm' to process the data and create the images that showed what looked like wells with spiral formations leading to enormous chambers.

They cross checked the structures with known architectural forms, 'specifically those accessible to us today, such as the Pozzo di San Patrizio in Italy,' Niccole Ciccole, the project's spokesperson, shared with Dailymail.com.

Professor Lawrence Conyers, a radar expert at the University of Denver who focuses on archaeology and was not involved in the study, said: 'To make correlation confidence levels there needs to be something to correlate to or compare to. 

'What could that be here? Without that, these percentages are meaningless scientifically.'

However, Professor Conyers suggested that it is conceivable that small structures, such as shafts and chambers, may exist beneath the pyramids, having been there before the pyramids were built, because the site was 'special to ancient people.'

He highlighted how 'the Mayans and other peoples in ancient Mesoamerica often built pyramids on top of the entrances to caves or caverns that had ceremonial significance to them.'

The team claimed they found eight wells and two enormous enclosures more than 2,000 feet below the base of the Khafre pyramid and 'an entire hidden world of many structures' another 2,000 feet below those

'I am skeptical of the deeper claims. If their 'algorithms' can do what they say (I can't comment on those), then perhaps this will hold up,' Professor Conyers said.

'A 'well' or 'tunnel' is what I would expect under a pyramid.'

The work by Corrado Malanga from Italy's University of Pisa, Filippo Biondi with the University of Strathclyde in Scotland and Egyptologist Armando Mei has not yet been published in a scientific journal for the review of independent experts. 

The team sent the analysis to DailyMail.com, where they admitted 'further validation is recommended through additional tomographic scans and in-situ verification.'

To determine if anything was hiding below the Pyramid of Khafre, they sent high-frequency waves (similar to how radar works) into the ground beneath the pyramid.

Researchers said they determined 'a confidence level well above 85 percent' that the 'structures identified beneath the Pyramid of Khafre, as well as those beneath other pyramids on the Giza Plateau,' exist. Pictured are six of the eight shafts and an underground room found

The wells and chambers were identified by sending 'high-frequency electromagnetic waves' into the subsurface, and the way signals bounced back allowed researchers to map structures beneath the Khafre pyramid (pictured)

When the waves smashed into something below the surface, they bounced back to the surface, and by looking at how the frequency of these waves changed, scientists could tell what kind of materials were underground.

However, Dr Zahi Hawass, Egypt's former minister of antiquities, told The National: 'The claim of using radar inside the pyramid is false, and the techniques employed are neither scientifically approved nor validated.'

The team said while they 'have the utmost respect for Egyptologists,' their 'findings are based on objective measurements obtained through advanced radar signal processing.' 

After gathering the data, researchers used a special algorithm that turned the information into vertical images of the ground beneath the pyramid, capturing the first look at the hidden structures.

One of the images 'exhibits a vertically elongated feature with varying intensity distributions, suggesting the presence of a deep well-like formation,' said Ciccole who has 25 years of experience in forensics. 

'The upper portion of the well reveals patterns indicative of potential helical or spiral formations, which could correspond to a staircase or a sloped passageway.'

She added that high-intensity reflections seen in the images suggested 'structured discontinuities that may align with step-like features.' 

'Preliminary estimations indicate that the well extends significantly underground, with notable signal variations at multiple depths,' Ciccole said, explaining it could indicate different materials or chambers at various levels.

'The helical feature aligns with descriptions of spiral-descending shafts found in other ancient structures.'

Professor Conyers said agreed in that spiral-descending shafts are found in other ancient structures, such as the Pyramid of Unas and certain Middle Kingdom tombs.

The team also believes the shafts and enclosures are around 38,000 years old. The pyramids were built around 4,500 years ago

Researchers believe there are other structures reaching more than 4,000 feet below the surface. The scans captured structures extend along the northern side with a tuning fork shape

'We estimate a correlation confidence of 85 to 90 percent with the hypothesis of a helical staircase within the well,' said Ciccole.

The team also believes the structures were built around 38,00 years ago, which predates the oldest known man-made structure of its kind by tens of thousands of years.

They based the claim on ancient Egyptian text that they interpreted as historical records of a pre-existing civilization that was destroyed during a cataclysmic event, but Professor Conyers said: ''That is a really outlandish idea.'

He added that at that time in human history people 'were mostly living in caves' 38,000 years ago.

'People did not start living in what we now call cities until about 9,000 years ago,' he said. 'There were a few large villages before that but those only go back a few thousand years from that time.'

But researchers explained there was likely a pre-existing civilization that was destroyed during a cataclysmic event. 

The event is a theory about a massive asteroid hitting Earth around 13,500 years ago, causing global climate change and extinction worldwide.

While ice cores in Greenland and other geological data in the Atlantic Ocean point to such an event, scientists have largely dismissed it due to never finding an asteroid crater.

Researchers believe that ancient Egyptian text seen as myths are actually historical records of life before the cataclysmic event. 

They said chapter 149 of the Book of the Dead describes 14 dwellings of the divine which team interprets as describing remnants of an advanced civilization existing before dynastic Egypt.

Ciccolo said the team also used the Turn King List, or Royal Canon, which is an ancient Egyptian document that features the name of kings, including gods and demigods, who supposedly ruled Egypt before the first recorded dynasties.

Researchers believe that the god and demigods were actually living kings long before the first recorded pharaohs.

Ciccolo said these ancient texts 'provide a whole series of references that a pre-existing civilization' lived in the region before 'a cataclysmic event.'
