Filer's Files Archives

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation.

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Angel Announces the Lord-has been born, Bible Reports the Star of Bethlehem, New England Christmas UFOs in 1909, Mayan Artifacts Reveal Aliens Visited Earth, China Spacecraft Lands on the Moon, The PRG Congressional Hearing Initiative, Starfish Die-off,

Seventy U.S. Sailors Poisoned by Fukushima Meltdown and Mars. 

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Pennsylvania.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in: Australia, Canada, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, England in the United Kingdom. 

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research.

 I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Angel Announces the Lord-has been born

"That night some shepherds were in the fields  guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the landscape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They were badly frightened, but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid! I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone! The Savior-yes the Messiah, the Lord-has been born tonight in Bethlehem! How will you recognize him? You will find a baby wrapped in a blanket, lying in a manager! Suddenly the angel was joined by a vast host of others--armies of heaven-praising God: Glory to God in the highest heaven, they sang, "and peace on earth for all those pleasing him."

When this army of angels had returned again to heaven, the shepherds said to each other. "Come on! Let's go to Bethlehem! Let's see this wonderful thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about. (Luke 2) The armies of heaven may describe the light from UFOs that are often seen in large numbers.

If you care to make the assumption those angels and extraterrestrials exist, perhaps some are the same. God’s messengers appear most frequently and conspicuously in connection with bringing ministry and sacred scripture.  We are told Angels are immortal beings, existing in great number often in a military like role, and often flying in clouds or in powerful vehicles.

Bible Reports the Star of Bethlehem

The Bible states, "Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, in Judea, during the reign of King Herod." At about that time some magi (wise men) from the east arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 'Where is the new born King of the Jews?' for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him."

"After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the young child with his mother Mary, and bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh." (Mathew-2.)

Editor's Note – Magi or wise men were astronomers or astrologers who lived in Persia or Babylonia hundreds of miles to the northwest of Jerusalem. They arrived in Jerusalem and spoke to Herod indicating they were likely of high rank possibly Kings or messengers from kings. We assume they were excellent witnesses. They had followed a star for a great distance to get to Jerusalem. Now, they were overjoyed to see the same star that led them to Bethlehem five miles due south of Jerusalem. According to the scriptures the star moved south and stopped over the house where Jesus lived.

Stars appear to cross the sky from east to west at 15 degrees per hour as the Earth rotates and do not stop and do not change direction. It would be difficult for the wise men to follow a star both day and night, and a miracle would be required for it to stop, or change direction. While at Jerusalem, the star hovered overhead and then when the wise men appeared from the building the star made a sharp 90-degree turn and led the wise men four miles south to the birth of Jesus Christ in the manger at Bethlehem.   One possible explanation is that they followed the light of a UFO. Of course God and his angels can do almost anything but the Bible is describing a light moving in weird directions from normal star movement.

Artists were aware of UFOs for example a fourteenth century fresco of the Madonna and Child and St Giovannino, in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, attributed to the 15 Century school of Filippo Lippi. Depicted on the top right side the image is a UFO hovering in the distance. A blow up of this fresco reveals tremendous details about this UFO including port holes. It seems to indicate a religious involvement between UFO's and the appearance of the Christ Child. The scriptures and thousands of books tell us the Earth is being visited by angels from the planet Heaven. They appeared over a hundred times in the Bible to men.

Few remember that Angels and their glowing craft had a key role in the Christmas story and history of diverse nations. Angels are celestial beings believed to be a messenger or mediator between God and humankind. In ancient Mesapotomia, ancient Greece, Judaism, Christianity and in Islam angels were sent as divine messengers to humans to instruct, inform, or command. Angels apparently helped in the creation, and God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Angels also function as heavenly warriors and as guardians..

The descriptions of Ezekiel in the Bible (1:4, 8:2) clearly indicate brilliant highly polished glowing yellow like brass or electrum an alloy of silver and gold.

Our ancient scriptures tell us the Angels played a key role throughout the Jewish – Torah, the Christian – Bible, the Moslem – Koran and many other religions.

The traditional concept of angels with wings is drawn from their ability to instantaneously and with unlimited speed move from place to place. In ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, Greece, Judaism, and Christianity and in Islam Angels were sent as divine messengers to humans to instruct, inform, or command.  An Angel visited Mohammed and directed the introduction of the Koran. Angels also function as heavenly warriors and as guardians.  Many people claim healing, love and miracles from the Angels who are often called the Sons of God. In traditional Israelite thought, Angels were assumed to have the form of human males, and as a consequence they were sometimes mistaken for men. "Let brotherly love continue.  Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares." (Hebrews 13)

Some angels rebelled against God and joined Satan in a war in Heaven and were thrown out. We are made a little lower than the Angels. They can look like you, but also have the ability to appear as a spirit.  Common angels are real personal beings with souls, passions, emotions and desires. 

We celebrate Christmas throughout much of the world based on the birth of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. The logical question is what has this to do with extraterrestrials and UFOs? I suggest there is a strong connection. It is one of the primary reasons the data is kept highly classified.

- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Confrontations, p. 13 "The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is embedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture...the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals...the UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were described in centuries past."

New England Christmas UFOs in 1909

Dr. Don Johnson writes, "During Christmas season of 1909 UFO sightings throughout New England were reported.  The evidence that makes me continue to believe that we were dealing with unorthodox technology and not mis-identifications of Venus was the reports of a powerful searchlight being employed.  That combined with the distances covered, keeps me open minded that we may be dealing with an unidentified, UFO-related, phenomenon.  Thanks to Don Johnson Ph.D.

Donna’s Christmas Letter

Donna Bulloch writes, “Thank you so much for posting views from Sitchin, Billy Graham and Mr. Podesta.  For a very long time, I thought I was the only one that held such views.  I also thought for a very long time that UFO's were probably demonic vehicles (and still believe that some are).  I also believed that UFO were vehicles from unknown planets.  When I began to explore the possibility that these strange craft were probably inter-dimensional has been an adventure that has led me back into a relationship with Our God, Creator of the Universe, His Son, Yeshua both preincarnate and incarnate missions to this planet and The Holy Spirit, teacher and comforter to mankind, all working together in unison that all of mankind that accept and receive this truth will share His coming Kingdom.  (I can also imagine the Cheshire Cat community saying "WHO are YOU to voice such a thing?) Have had sightings since 1974 and seen all kinds of vehicles, though none of the occupants.  God Bless and Merry Christmas.” Thanks to Donna Bulloch

Mayan Artifacts Reveal Aliens Visited Earth

CALAKMUL, MEXICO (INTELLIHUB) — Newly released Mayan documents, i.e. artifacts, dating back at least 1300-years reveal that the human race is not alone and highly advanced technologies including space travel have likely existed for quite some time. Not only does this documentation released by the Mexican government show the existence of an explorer race, it may also reveal the roots of mankind. These secrets have been
“protected” by the Mexican government for 80-years.

Some consider the government’s presentation of the information to be a major step forward for humanity as the truth is finally being slowly let out.
Hopefully this will prompt other governments around the world to be more forthcoming with such information, turning the tide in the UFO and extraterrestrial research community for good.

[Sundance winner Juan Carlos Rulfo’s  Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyondalso touches on such technology. “Producer Raul Julia-Levy said the documentary-makers were working in cooperation with the Mexican government for what he said was “the good of mankind”.

He said the order to collaborate had come directly from the country’s president, Álvaro Colom Caballeros. “ Mexico will release codices, artifacts and significant documents with evidence of Mayan and extraterrestrial contact, and all of their information will be corroborated by archaeologists,” he said. “The Mexican government is not making this statement on their own – everything we say, we’re going to back it up.”

Caballeros himself was conspicuous by his absence from the statement released by Julia-Levy. So far, the minister of tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche, Luis Augusto García Rosado, appears to be the highest-ranking government official to go on record confirming the discovery of extraterrestrial life, but he’s not holding back. In a statement, Rosado spoke of contact “between the Mayans and extraterrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices, which the government has kept secure in underground vaults for some time”. In a telephone conversation with the Wrap, he also spoke of “landing pads in the jungle that are 3,000 years old”.

China Spacecraft Lands on the Moon

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation

China has landed its Chang'e 3 first robotic Lander on the moon on December 14, 2013. This photo is the moon rover Yutu, or "Jade
Rabbit" moving off its landing vehicle in the moon’s Bay of Rainbows.

Seeking a clean energy solution, China is searching for helium-3 that is a light, non-radioactive isotope of helium that is nearly nonexistent on Earth, yet abundant on the moon. It has long been considered the missing piece needed to create fusion power. Scientists deem fusion power to be a potential game-changing source of energy.

Helium-3 has a higher efficiency of conversion to electricity than fission, at a rate of 60-70%, and can produce energy with little to no radioactive waste.
There is ten times more energy in helium-3 on the moon than in all the natural gas, oil, and coal on the Earth combined. "Forty tons of helium-3 would provide all the electricity for the U.S. in 2014."  It is the first soft-landing on the moon by any spacecraft in 37 years.

The PRG Congressional Hearing Initiative

The PRG Congressional Hearing Initiative is
tentatively set to launch on January 8, 2014. A full set of DVDs of the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure CHD will be sent to each congressional office. The plan is for each DVD set to be accompanied by a letter signed by the CHD witnesses.

A draft of the accompanying witness letter is printed below

January 8, 2014

Congressman Xxxx  Xxx

House of Representatives

Washington, DC  20515

Dear Congressman Xxx:

During the week of April 29 to May 3, 2013 a Citizen Hearing on Disclosure was held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.  This event was conducted in a manner very similar to hearings held by House and Senate committees.  
Forty witnesses from ten nations testified for thirty hours over a period of five days before six former members of Congress with eighty years of collective tenure.

Witnesses included Apollo 14 Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, former Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Canada Paul Hellyer, and many former members of the U. S. military who held high security clearances.   More information is available at:  www.citizenhearing.org.

The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure was both unusual and powerful.  It was unusual because the testimony focused on the history of events and evidence pointing toward an extraterrestrial (non-human) intelligence engaging the human race now and in the past.  It was powerful because of the transformative impact the testimony had on the sitting committee of former members of Congress, all of whom held appropriate skepticism on the subject matter.

Accompanying this letter is a set of DVD disks containing a professionally produced record of the entire Citizen Hearing on Disclosure.  We the undersigned strongly encourage you and your staff to review this video record and meet with PRG’s executive director Stephen Bassett to discuss the content.

Furthermore, we are all prepared to give testimony under oath to the appropriate Senate and House committees on what we believe is a subject with profound implications for areas that include science and technology, open transparent government, freedom of information, defense, national security and air safety.   We hereby request your support for holding hearings on this issue as soon as possible.

Signed, George Filer Major USAF ret.

Thanks to Stephen Bassett of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG)

UFO reports

UFO reports include secondary type effects such as the stalling of car and truck engines, dimming or loss of lights, interference on radios, television, and flight instruments. Once the UFO leaves
the area the engines usually restart. The radio interference stops and returns to the tuned station. The lights again function correctly. Newer vehicles seem better to cope with the interference.

When a craft lands it often leaves scorched earth, dead grass and deep impressions in the ground. Usually measurements indicate something weighing several tons had compressed the soil. The marks are usually symmetrical indicating a landing gear of three or four foot prints.  

Reports include strange odors like: ammonia, embalming fluid, pepper or brake fluid. This smell seems to be related to chemical reactions occurring in the air or particularly the ozone. The sounds usually reported are a low humming, hissing snakes, or frequently no sound at all. An electrical engineer reported that he heard eight to ten electrical motors running at different speeds and cycles when the craft passed over his home in Williamstown.

We have a number of cases where passengers in autos feel as though they are floating, and even the car seems lighter and will not hold the road.  There are several cases where multiple witnesses claim their autos have been lifted into the craft.

Witnesses also report burned skin, possible damage to their puffy and watery eyes, loss of hair and radiation like burns. Many people report strange scars on people’s bodies. Generally, they cannot remember how the scars occurred.

When we plot multiple sightings, we can often track the craft on a Great Circle flight route.  The UFOs seem to act in an intelligently controlled manner. No nation has admitted to developing these craft although it is assumed some have been back engineered and are flying as reconnaissance aircraft. Videos seem to prove their unbelievable ability for acceleration and deceleration. They
can make sharp ninety degree turns, hover, fly at tree top level, and to appear
to fall like a leaf.

Massive Starfish Die-Off Baffles Scientists

The waters off British Columbia, Canada, are
littered with dead starfish, and researchers have no idea what’s causing the deaths. At the end of August, marine biologist and scuba enthusiast Jonathan Martin was out on his usual Saturday dive with some friends.

“We just started noticing dead starfish that looked like they had their arms chopped off,” Martin said.

They were sunflower starfish (Pycnopodia helianthoides), a major marine predator in the area that feeds mostly on sea urchins and snails. Like most starfish, the sunflower starfish can regenerate lost limbs—it can have up to 20—and can grow to be up to three feet (a meter) across.

Martin wrote to invertebrate expert Christopher Mah, a researcher at the Smithsonian Institution speculated a type of parasite that lives on starfish is the leading hypothesis, but it may be related to Fukushima radiation.

Note: Radiation from Fukushima is reaching the West Coast of America and it
is logical to assume some types of sea life will be adversely affected.

Seventy U.S. Sailors Poisoned by Fukushima Meltdown 

USS Ronald Reagan and its sister ship USS Essex worked the rescue effort near  the Fukushima nuclear power following the Japanese tsunami in 2011

Diagnoses include leukemia, brain tumors and testicular cancer. They claim it was caused by contaminated water or a radiation plume.

A new group action will be filed against Tokyo Electric Power Company based on allegations they delayed releasing confirmation of the meltdown

New York Post reports, Navy sailor Lindsay Cooper knew something was wrong
when billows of metallic-tasting snow began drifting over USS Ronald Reagan. She and scores of crewmates watched a sudden storm blow toward them from the tsunami-torn coast of Fukushima, Japan. The snow was caused by the freezing Pacific air mixing with a plume of radioactive steam. Senior Chief Michael Sebourn, a radiation-decontamination officer, was assigned to test the aircraft carrier for radiation. “The levels were incredibly dangerous and at
one point, the radiation in the air measured 300 times higher than what was considered safe,”

Sebourn told The Post. Japan didn’t want us in port, Korea didn’t want us, and Guam turned us away. We floated in the water for two and a half months [until Thailand took them in] http://www.dailymail.co.uk

Mars Opening

Mars will have a 'white Christmas' Mars is far drier than Earth, but it still gets some snow from time to time. Studies of Mars' polar regions confirm that snowfall is a common occurrence.
