Winston Churchill’s Thoughts on Extraterrestrials
Researchers have uncovered an enlightening piece of writing from Winston Churchill which reveals the renowned British Prime Minister’s thoughts on extraterrestrials!
Penned in 1939, the eleven-page article which was never published is provocatively titled ‘Are We Alone in the Universe?’
It had somehow gotten lost amidst the voluminous files from his estate and, incredibly, wound up included in a collection that was sent to an American Churchill museum in the 1980’s.
For nearly forty years, the enlightening essay sat unnoticed in the museum’s catalog of Churchill materials until it was recently found.
Churchill’s musings on the chances that ETs exist are remarkably prescient in light on the scientific discoveries made since he wrote the essay decades ago.
In the piece, Churchill argues that it is reasonable to conclude that there are many planets throughout the universe, considering its vast size, and that some of these worlds are conducive to life.
The ‘British Bulldog’ even speculated that humans would someday travel to the moon as well as Mars and Venus, which were the only two planets that he considered contenders for potential ET habitation.
That particular assessment from Churchill has proven to be somewhat shortsighted as scientists now believe that life could exist in the harsh environments of other planets.
And, in an amusing bit of wishful thinking that echoes the thoughts of many modern day UFO researchers, Churchill noted that sad state of civilization in 1939 left him skeptical that “we are the only spot in this immense universe which contains living, thinking creatures.”
To that end, in an observation that would make Copernicus proud, Churchill expressed doubt that “we are the highest type of mental and physical development which has ever appeared in the vast compass of space and time.”
Unfortunately, the complete text from the Churchill ET essay has yet to be published, due to copyright concerns, but historians who detailed the work in a newly-published academic paper hope that the piece can be released in full sometime soon.
We can only imagine what the great orator would say today at the notion that we still have yet to find the elusive extraterrestrial life which left him wondering nearly 80 years ago. Source: BBC News
Ceres Possible Alien Life
The dwarf planet Ceres keeps looking better and better as a possible home for alien life.
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft has spotted organic molecules — the carbon-containing building blocks of life as we know it — on Ceres for the first time, a study published today (Feb. 16) in the journal Science reports.
And these organics appear to be native, likely forming on Ceres rather than arriving via asteroid or comet strikes, study team members said. [Photos: Dwarf Planet Ceres, the Solar System’s Largest Asteroid]
The Salthill Ireland UFO Sighting
GALWAY, 22nd February – 1st of March 1986 I am convinced I once saw an UFO, have never one since, and this is my account of this sighting. One early spring day I walked up a hill on my way to Salthill beach.
It looked liked it could rain, even though there were patches of blue in the sky. As I examined the clouds, to judge if it would rain soon, a cigar shaped object appeared in the sky between the roofs of a row of houses. As I continued walking the object moved in the sky relative to the position of the houses on the ground, due to the perspective. I made a stab at estimating its distance. It hovered above the roof tops about one or two miles away, not moving. Its appearance and color made me think of a Zeppelin. Then I continued walking and the object disappeared behind the roof of a house and some trees, because I moved and the perspective changed. I expected to see it again where it should have reappeared, but it remained disappeared.
Claude Toft Park
Then I walked back to where I had seen the object last, because this was strange. A slow moving blimp should still have been in about the same position in the sky. But the object was no longer there. All this happened within a few seconds. After I reached the top of the hill I walked down to the beach promenade, I could see that there was a lot of activity in Claude Toft Park, next to the beach; it looked like a festival was going on. At the seafront I had a clear view of the whole sky, and I asked people about having seen a blimp or if balloons had been launched for the festivities, but no one had seen anything. I ran into a friend, who owned a local amusement arcade, and I asked him what was going on, and he told me it was “College Week”. He also hadn’t seen any unusual activities in the sky.
About two weeks after this I saw a headline in a magazine at a newsstand: “Major UFO flap reported over Irish coast and England”. After I had seen a (cigar shaped, grey color), UFO in Galway, Salthill in 1986, I saw two or four weeks later a headline on a magazine cover: “UFO flap 1986! Coast of Ireland and UK“. Most likely the magazine was “The Fortean Times”.
That’s why I ask here, can anyone confirm this story?
There’s a bit more to it, a few years later a local artist decided to make circles in the location where I had seen the UFO. A large number of witnesses had seen UFO’s and reported them. Corroborative evidence that UFO’s were active around Ireland at the time, I found 30 years later. My particular sighting is not mentioned, but there were a number of reports.
Amongst them is the Prince Charles UFO from 23. Feb. 1986. 23 February 1986 – Irish Sea, Irish Sea – It claimed that Prince Charles had a close encounter with a UFO, whilst returning from a visit to the United States. Prince Charles and four other planes spot luminous red UFO, hovers near the royal plane. The story makes tabloid newspapers.
By coincidence a local artist and archaeologist decided 7 years later, to create megalithic-like stone circles in the location where I had seen the UFO. He timed and aligned the circles with the impact of the comet Shoemaker Levy 9 on Jupiter. The artist had not known about my UFO sighting.
Brief: Three shoreline circles were discovered in Ireland in 1984 after an UFO sighting. 32 years later they are still there! The general area came to my attention because of the sighting of a cigar-shaped UFO, during the annual Salthill Festival (ca. 1983-84).
Two weeks later a string of sightings had been reported along the Irish coast in a tabloid newspaper.
Seven Earth-Size Planets of Trappist-1

TRAPPIST-1: Sarah Lewin writes, a solar system full of possibility as Astronomers have discovered the first known system to host seven Earth-size planets around one star, and it lies just 39 light-years away from our own solar system.
Using data from the TRAPPIST telescope in Chile and other ground-based telescopes, as well as NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, the researchers identified the sizes, orbits and masses of most of the planets — suggesting that they all may be rocky, like Earth, and that three of them are in the habitable zone, where liquid water might linger and life as we know it could find a foothold.

Helicopters Chasing Drones Part 2
by Bob Spearing, MUFON Special Assignment Team and International Case Assistance Group, MUFON National
Director of Spain and India, publisher of www.worldufowatch.com
Reaper Military Drone
On March 9, 2016, USA Today ran an article suggesting that the United States Military was in compliance with a law that required them to seek special approval to operate drones within civilian airspace and only in the most necessary of circumstances. In all, the military made less than 20 requests between 2006 and 2015. Additionally, USA Today stated that the U.S. Military flew nine missions between 2011 and 2016, largely to assist with search and rescue, floods, fires or National Guard exercises.
This article suggests that either the U.S. Military is abusing that privilege or they are circumventing it by using non-military assets such as NSA or CIA and have flown far more missions than they are admitting. Additionally, these unknown drones are either being pursued or escorted by black choppers with no anti-collision lighting. It is alarming UFO researchers in the process. The incidents here below clearly exceed the number of cases suggested by the USA Today article and none of these incidents are probably any of the government mentioned flights in the newspaper article.
Black Hawk
All of the following cases were reported to The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)in a thirteen-month period.
Rapid City S.D — Case # 77097, June 16, 2016, 11 PM as follows:
“Sitting out on my front porch right before bed, I noticed object by sound thinking it was our light helicopter as it is tourist season which is very typical as you know this happens in an attraction area. I thought it seemed awful early in season to start with life light but then realized there was a helicopter following a very bright white light. Also, noticed 2 faint “star like” lights FAR above flying overhead simultaneously. Then the bright light disappeared and re-appeared in front of the helicopter. “
Newton/Rockingham NH Shortly thereafter MUFON Case # 77796, July 19, 2016, 9:40 PM occurred as follows:
“I was in my house, windows open when I heard a loud helicopter approaching. I ran out on my back porch and saw a red light or orb high in the air fly directly over my house from east to west, then a low flying helicopter following behind it. They were both flying exact same direction at about the same speed but the copter was much lower than the light/orb. They flew out of sight, due to trees the observation was approx. 10 seconds. Unable to see color of copter due to darkness but it was large, and very loud, it also seemed to be much lower than the object and followed directly behind it. I have no idea what it was, it did not have an outline which made me think it was just a light or orb, it traveled straight and had a consistent speed. I felt afraid as if the military was chasing this unknown object. “
Nashua — New Hampshire would again be revisited In MUFON Case #79839, November 15, 2016, 7:40 PM as follows:
“At approximately 7:40 PM EST I heard an extremely loud, very low-flying helicopter somewhere over the woods behind my apartment in the southern area of Nashua which is not at all a normal occurrence here. We grew increasingly alarmed as the helicopter’s sound grew louder and louder until we could feel the building vibrating from it. My oldest son (14) and I stepped out onto the balcony to look for the helicopter – it sounded like it was practically on top of us, but too low and close to see it over the tree line. My first thought was that it might be the police tracking someone on the ground in the woods, except this helicopter was
SO loud – sounded more like a Black Hawk than the standard choppers that police/news uses. And we couldn’t see searchlights of any kind over the woods. Suddenly we saw a reddish/orange light break over the tree line headed south. Our balcony faces west and this light was running straight & perpendicular across our view. It was a large orb shape, flying very fast in a perfectly straight line – skimming above the trees no more than a few hundred feet off the ground, and a few hundred yards from us. We had a clear view of it for just a couple of seconds before it was lost behind the trees again. It didn’t weave or change course, didn’t wobble, or change colors/size/shape. There were no other lights on it, and it didn’t appear to pulse. Following just behind it was a large helicopter which appeared to be pursuing the object. The helicopter appeared military in design and was large and dark colored, either black or gray with only a couple of small red lights on it and no visible markings that I could see. The orb appeared to accelerate slightly while it was in view but then backed off a bit, as if it was trying to stay just out of reach of the helicopter. We had a clear view of both the object and the chopper together in the sky for a moment, and the orb appeared to be about 1/3 to ½ as large as the helicopter. The whole incident lasted no more than about 30-45 seconds from first hearing the helicopter to when the object and helicopter disappeared over the trees headed south. “
However, before the second New Hampshire sighting, September saw a flurry of reports of dark helicopters pursuing orb-like objects.
Fountain, CO — On September 16th, MUFON Case # 79232, 9/16/16 at12 am reads as follows:
“I just pulled my car into the drive way a little after midnight last night, when I was locking my car I heard what sounded like an airplane, living by an airport I know that no flights came in so late. So, I stood in my driveway to see what kind of airplane it was. Suddenly I see a white orb of light going over the roof tops and over the trees. Not far behind were 3 black helicopters in a triangle shaped flight pattern following the craft at very high speeds. The craft then made a left hand turn towards the mountains, that’s when I see one of the helicopters intercept the craft, getting in front of it, that’s when I lose sight of the craft over the roofs of nearby houses. But I still stood to listen to the helicopters to see if they are still in the area. I know that this wasn’t an airplane or helicopter due to the fact that it had no blinking lights or defined shape, and made no sound at all. When I took my cell phone out to record video the sky was too dark. Beforehand my cell phone was around 20% about a minute or two before I saw the craft. But when I took it out to try and record the video I noticed my battery life was on 2%.”
Morning View, Kentucky – as first in September with two sightings 5 minutes apart. MUFON Case # 79516, 9/26/16
“… He yelled oh my god come out side there’s a ufo. I ran out I seen to my right a low flying blacked out had to be military helicopter with one red light at the bottom chasing a ball of light. They flew low way less than 500ft. I saw them to my right flying closer to the left above the tree line. I seen the ball of light fly under the helicopter the helicopter tilted the front end down as if to get a better look. Then the ball of light banked a wide right then it was out of view. The helicopter went the direction it went then it was over. We called a friend who lives a few miles away he said he even heard the helicopter fly over his house.”
Morning View, Kentucky Second report at 8:25 pm was MUFON Case # 79436 as follows:
“I was letting my dog in my house when I heard a helicopter behind the tree line by our house. Expecting a helicopter to come over the trees but instead I see a white ball of light come first. It was just gliding through the air very smoothly then following the light came the helicopter it was black with only one flashing light on the bottom. The light zipped forward away from the chopper then the light stopped as it was waiting on the chopper to catch up. Then the light even went under the chopper and then zipped out in front of the chopper again before making a large swooping right turn very fast behind the opposite tree line which it appeared. The chopper followed with much much slower swooping right turn behind the tree line as it tried to stay with the light. I could no longer see either aircraft only could hear the loud thuds of the chopper getting further away from our house. I then called my friend who lives a few miles up the road in the direction that the objects came and him and his girlfriend did hear the helicopter pass over their home as well but did go outside to see the light and helicopter.
Palmyra, NJ — clocked in on September 24th, with MUFON Case # 79372 at 8:57 PM as follows:
“I was walking back to my house through the parking lot when I heard the sound of large helicopters arriving – then I saw two helicopters flying in loose formation (about 2000 ft. apart at the same altitude (approx. 2500 ft.) and one trailing the other) they both had either bright landing lights, or search lights pointed in the direction of flight. I assumed they were military because we often see formation flights of two of either CH-47S or UH-60S flying along the Delaware River. However, as the flight came to nearly over head, I observed the lead helicopter was actually following another unknown aircraft, which was approximately 1000 ft. in front of the lead helicopter. This unknown aircraft did not have flashing anti-collision lights (“strobes”) nor the primary red flashing light, however, it appeared to have one or more very dim whitish lights, not flashing.
As this unknown made a gentle turn to the South, the flight of two helicopters pursued this unknown. Since it was after dark, I was unable to definitively identify the type of helicopters these were, but I could barely make out the size of the airframe against the back-drop of the night sky – on the other hand, I was not able to make out any definite airframe size or shape of the unknown these appeared to be pursuing, except for very dim unflashing light(s). It looked as if they were pursuing a small drone, except the airspeed of the flight was doing at least 90 knots or faster, so I don’t think it really was a drone. There was no sound of a different engine type other than the two helicopters. The flight of the two helicopters perusing the unknown disappeared to the SW of my position at a level flight altitude of about 2000 to 2500 feet.”
Athens, NY — November saw two sightings of this odd pairing. First, MUFON Case # 80186 11/3/16 7:20 PM:
On the evening of November 3rd, 2016, my wife and I were playing with our infant daughter on the living room floor when I heard a loud helicopter approaching outside. As I got up to observe the helicopter from our rear deck, I noticed that it was low flying (approximately 500 feet), and flying North along Interstate 87. I then noticed a small steady burning red light far out ahead and to the left of it. Both continued on in perfect formation north bound until they were out of sight. I was unable to hear anything but the helicopter, or make out the shape of the object with the red light being trailed. “
Port Angeles WA Second, in November, we have MUFON Case # 80705 11/29/16 8:29 PM:
“I was in my yard at 8:30 pm on 11/29/16 when I heard a large heavy helicopter. It had been announced the prior day on local news radio that electronic warfare games would be occurring over Clallam County. So, the helicopter was no surprise. The helicopter was at about 250 feet moving at 50 to 70 mph. It approached from SE and flew directly towards my house. It turned on a spotlight and lit me up. It appeared to be alone. As it passed directly overhead and began to fly away I saw an orange light within one helicopter length of the helicopter. It was ahead, below and starboard. It did not change position relative to the helicopter. I watched them until they disappeared flying NW. When I first saw the object my initial thought was that it was a bright as Venus orange star. But there are no such stars and stars don’t maintain positions relative to helicopters. Then I thought it must be an American made UFO. I have seen a similar object flying a non-aerodynamic and non-ballistic trajectory in Coeur d Alene, Idaho during daylight.
A large helicopter (SH 3 Sea King?) was escorting a dark object.”
Cummings Georgia –lastly, in December 2016 we come to MUFON Case # 80841 12/2/16 7:22 PM:
“Friday night December 2nd, 2016, I was sitting in my hot tub out on my back patio. I was facing south towards the back of my house. I heard the faint chop – chop- chop of a helicopter and just a few seconds after I heard the first “chop” I saw a red light (I assume it was a running light from the helicopter) in the sky emerge heading Southwest. This is a fairly common occurrence here as we see news and traffic choppers fairly often. The chopper proceeded south for approximately 30 seconds. I didn’t give it another thought and went back to enjoying the tub. Within another 30 seconds, I started hearing the chopper again but this time (even over the noise of the 6 HP tub jets) it was getting considerably louder. I leaned up and looked towards the sound and the red light was coming back towards my way on a North/Northeast heading and moving fast, very fast. At this point the rotor chop was getting so incredibly loud, I reached over and turned the tub jets off because I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and now feeling in my chest.
The chop was so powerful that I then realized this has to be a military chopper. I couldn’t see the chopper itself yet but I could see its red running light (The only light visible) as it approached. A few seconds later, the chopper passed right in front of me just above treetop height. When it passed by, the chopper was completely black as in there were no lights emanating from the cabin, just the red running light. This is where it gets interesting… Just in front of the chopper, about 50 to 70 feet, was a tubular shaped glowing white object silently screaming by. I know it made no discernible noise simply because the chopper thump thump thump is intermittent. If this was a jet or a missile going that fast, I feel very confident it would have made a loud jet engine or rocket sound. It was silent. I reported this to MUFON because of the following reasons: 1. it was an extremely fast and powerful military style chopper 2. It was flying way below legal altitude (just above treetops) 3. It was obvious to me that the chopper was chasing something due to its very fast and erratic flight path 4. Right as it passed in front of my line of sight, I saw what it was chasing as described above. 5. When the chopper abruptly changed course, it was now coming towards me and did not have a white light coming out of the front of it. 6. And finally, because this all happened over a residential area.”
So, the question should be asked… what is going on here? This is clearly not coincidence. There are too many cases, countrywide, of the same phenomenon to be excused as an anomaly. There is a pattern!
If the military is forbidden from performing this kind of activity with drones over civilian areas, then who is doing it? Is it CIA, NSA, FBI or Shadow Government if not our military?
Are these objects being escorted or are they being chased? Are they terrestrial or otherwise? Ultimately, are they ours or are they theirs – whoever they might be?
Let’s investigate! A very influential inner circle member of MUFON suggests that based upon his previous hi level clearance; these may be examples of electronic warfare exercises with drones used by the U.S. Military.
There is a problem with that right there. First, we have military style helicopters and possible drones operating over civilian neighborhoods in the United States. Military aircraft CAN operate in civilian airspace by filing a simple flight plan. Drones cannot. Secondly, helicopters flying within civilian airspace need to display navigational, anti-collision and directional lighting in order to avoid collisions with other aircraft. This includes military aircraft. The aircraft in question pursuing the orbs have at most one red beacon displayed with no anti-collision lighting at all.
Thirdly, it is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS for helicopters to fly at treetop levels. As per an anonymous National Guardsman pilot I interviewed based out of New Jersey who has over 31 years’ helicopter flight experience especially with
Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopters, he stated “flying at treetop level is almost suicidal. Even with night vision goggles which are almost universal for nighttime flights, the avoidance of telephone lines and cell phone towers at those low altitudes is a second to second avoidance maneuver that the military does not condone except in the most critical of situations!”
“Additionally, while we may fly without lights and our military designations may be hard to see in the dark leading to “black ops fears”. Our insignia are on the outside of our craft and we do fly with anti-collision lights. We may fly without other lights as to not interfere with the night vision goggles which are sensitive to bright flashes and could shut down accordingly, BUT we do not fly totally blacked out as these helicopters do. “
“Finally, the Sikorsky Blackhawks, which I do fly, are a relatively silent stealthy aircraft. If these helicopters flying over neighborhoods are making windows shudder and making people’s chests vibrate they must be heavy body choppers such as the make and model the witnesses are suggesting.” So, who are these blacked out tree top level suicidal helicopters chasing red or orange orbs? A National Guardsman Blackhawk pilot with 31 years flying experience says emphatically “They are not ours!”
Where are they coming from? They are seen over a national geographical scale from New York to Washington DISPLAYING THE SAME BEHAVIORS. They have fuel tank allowing them no more than 500 miles’ total before refueling thus the evidence suggests they come from American military bases. So, are they performing illegal exercises in civilian airspace utilizing electronic warfare modes with drones? The answer is probably yes. The other more ominous answer is that they are chasing UNKNOWNS from origins unknown which is a very scary proposition. by Bob Spearing, MUFON Special Assignment Team and International Case Assistance Group, MUFON National Director of Spain and India, publisher of www.worldufowatch.com
Is TV News Committing Treason?
After an eight year slumber and the betrayal of every journalistic principle during the Obama administration, American journalists want to make journalism great again by destroying Trump. It’s one thing to report the news, another to editorialize throughout the reports on TV National news. I have yet to see a favorable news item on ABC, CBS, or NBC. The US is at war with ISIS, and the news media is conducting a propaganda war against the President with lies and half truths.
It is my opinion ABC is giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States and conducting treason with its propaganda war. After the President’s speech regarding immigrant problems in Sweden he was called a liar on the national news. Interestingly the Democrats in Sweden came to his aid, claiming there were more than a million criminal incidents, rapes, riots, 50 grenades being tossed at police in 2016 over the previous year. NBC is interviewing children who speak about being afraid of Trump. They do not tell the news; they find someone who will speak against him.
The Law for Treason states: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
I have chosen not to buy any product advertised on the nightly national news.
