Read NASA’s Internal Discussions of UFOs in Newly Released Documents

Read NASA’s Internal Discussions of UFOs in Newly Released Documents

A FOIA request revealed internal NASA emails about UAPs/UFOs, including an invite to an event called, "Extreme Acceleration by UAPs”

A trove of newly released NASA documents about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) reveals some of the agency’s internal discussions about these mysterious sightings, according to the Black Vault, which obtained the materials via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and published them on Tuesday.  

The documents showed that a meeting about a UAP—which are also sometimes referred to as unidentified flying objects (UFOs)—was put on NASA administrator Bill Nelson’s calendar in March. An email sent in May 2021, and marked “Internal Distribution Only,” provided guidelines for responding to interview questions on a range of topics associated with space research, including a subsection entitled, “Search for Life, Technosignatures, and UAP/UFOs.”

“Public and media interest in the topic of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon/Unidentified Flying Objects (UAP/UFOs) has seen an uptick in recent weeks following reports about the Department of Defense’s release of three unclassified Navy videos,” the NASA guidelines said. “Likewise, the 2021 Intelligence Authorization Act, signed in December 2020, stipulated the government had 180 days to gather and analyze data from disparate agencies.” 

“Below is our response to the public and media who call for NASA comment,” the materials continued. “One of NASA’s key goals is the search for life in the universe. To date, NASA has yet to find any credible evidence of extraterrestrial life, however, NASA is exploring the solar system and beyond to help us answer fundamental questions, including whether we are alone in the universe. We stand ready to support the rest of the government in the search for life in the universe, be it close to home, on the planets or moons of our solar system, or deeper into space.” 

The new FOIA drop also contains an invite to a virtual event entitled “Extreme Acceleration by UAPs,” scheduled for October 6, 2020, that was forwarded between NASA employees. The invite said the presentation would be delivered by Robert Powell, Executive Board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), with an introduction from Chris Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.

“During our session, Robert will be discussing ‘Extreme Acceleration by UAPs and Sensors for Detection,’” according to the invite. “He will also be exploring a few relevant cases, including Stephenville and Puerto Rico. Robert has been an important leader, for some years now, among those seeking to bring serious scientific expertise and processes to bear on the UAP phenomenon.”

Though it’s intriguing to read through these documents, it’s not surprising that NASA discusses UAPs internally, given that the agency has also held public briefings on these unexplained observations on many occasions. Last month, for instance, NASA officials held a teleconference on new work that aims to “examine UAPs—observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena—from a scientific perspective,” according to a statement.

“Unidentified phenomena in the atmosphere are of interest for both national security and air safety. Establishing which events are natural provides a key first step to identifying or mitigating such phenomena, which aligns with one of NASA’s goals to ensure the safety of aircraft,” the statement read. “There is no evidence UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin.”

Nasa may use satellites in hunt for aliens after surge in UFO sightings

Nasa may use satellites in hunt for aliens after surge in UFO sightings

Nasa deputy administrator Col Pam Melroy

Nasa deputy administrator Col Pam Melroy

The US space agency Nasa is looking into repurposing satellites that are already in space to hunt for aliens. Last month, Nasa announced it was launching an eight-month inquiry to investigate hundreds of unexplained UFO sightings.

The inquiry is being led by Dr Thomas Zurbuchen, of Nasa’s Science Mission Directorate, who has now begun investigating whether satellites in orbit could be repurposed to give another view on strange aerial phenomena reported from Earth.

Speaking to journalists in London last week, Col Pam Melroy, deputy administrator of Nasa, said: “One of the big questions Thomas asked is, ‘We have a ton of satellites looking down at the Earth; are any of them useful?’

“Before you build a rover that’s going to Mars, you ask yourself, ‘What’s the sensor I have to build to detect the most interesting thing?’ How would you get the evidence that you need to be able to determine if it’s an optical phenomena or some other kind (of phenomena)?”

Bill Nelson, Nasa’s administrator, told reporters that he had read all the classified documents relating to UFOs and was convinced that nobody knew what they were.

Asked why Nasa was embarking on such a fringe subject, Nelson said one of the agency’s remits was to hunt for life outside Earth. He pointed out that in the past, even the greatest scientists had been disbelieved or ridiculed, including Galileo — condemned in the 17th century for saying the Earth revolved around the Sun— and Edwin Hubble, who in the 1920s proved many objects thought to be clouds of dust and gas were galaxies.

“One of our missions is to reach out to see if there is life — that’s why we are digging on Mars right now,” he said. “Is there the possibility of life in something as big as the Universe? Of course there is the chance that, in somewhere as big as that, conditions similar to Earth existed, and some other kind of life form developed.

“Look at what Galileo had to face... and 100 years ago we still only thought there was one galaxy, and then Hubble came along and suddenly said, ‘No there are a bunch of galaxies out there’.”

Last June, the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAP) released a report into 144 UFO incidents between 2004 and 2021, many of which were spotted by military pilots. Even though investigators concluded there was no evidence that the objects came from outer space or a foreign adversary, they said most could not be explained.

The report authors said there was no doubt that the UAPs were physical objects, rather than optical illusions caused by atmospheric conditions or sensor malfunctions.

“I went to our chief scientist and said... we’re the scientific research agency and one of our missions is to look for life... there’s this phenomenon going on, so we should approach it from a scientific point of view,” said Mr Nelson.

Last year, US Navy pilot Lt Cmdr Alex Dietrich revealed she had seen multiple UFOs while she was stationed off the coast of southern California on the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier in 2004. They moved impossibly fast, she said, dropping a distance of 80,000ft in less than a second and jumping dozens of miles in seconds, in an incident caught on infrared camera and radar.

According to reports, Cmdr David Fravor, also stationed on the USS Nimitz, engaged one of the oblong objects, which disappeared, only to be picked up seconds later on ship radar 60 miles away.

Mr Nelson said he hoped the objects did not belong to an adversary as “they’ve got some real advanced technology”.

Dozens of UFO encounters by pilots officially released – including 'cigar-shaped' object

Dozens of UFO encounters by pilots officially released – including 'cigar-shaped' object

A file covering 14 years' worth of UFO sightings made by commercial airline pilots was obtained by UFO researcher Kyle Warfel using a Freedom of Information request

By Michael Moran - Audience Writer

Dozens of astonishing UFO sightings witnessed by pilots and classified as "near misses" have been released by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The detailed list of reports covers UFO or so-called Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) sightings from January 1, 2008 to the present.

The list, published on the Black Vault site, covers more than 60 “near miss” encounters with unexplained objects recorded by trained pilots in just 14 years.

Some of the unidentified objects appear to have been drones that were being flown irresponsible users, but others defy any rational explanation.

One, reported in July 2020, was a “very large, Frisbee or cigar shaped object that had no tail or ailerons moving very fast and low level”.

The mystery object was “a silver, white colour, almost transparent and it made no sound”.

Another unexplained “star-like” object was observed by an airline pilot to rapidly change altitudes before suddenly going into a hover.

Not all pilots choose to report potential UFO sighting, for fear of harming their reputations. After a mysterious “line of lights” in the sky was sighted by multiple witnesses in Arizona in 2013, a pilot contacted by radar operators confirmed that he could see the objects but declined to make a report to the UFO hotline.

In some cases the mystery objects appear to chase the airliners.

Researcher Kyle Warfel, whose FOIA request led to the release of the sightings, said: “There are hundreds of thousands of UAP sightings every year around the globe and hundreds of thousands more that go unreported.

“The recent publication of the UAPTF Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena shows that this issue is real and can not be ignored.”

He’s convinced that the US government knows exactly what these objects are, but for some reason has chosen to keep that information secret.

“We have the ability to see license plates from orbit and yet we don’t have enough data to make a conclusion on what these things are?” He asked. “Bottom line, we cannot be trusted with the truth.”

The Norse God Odin: Viking God of War, Father of Thor, But There’s More

The Norse God Odin: Viking God of War, Father of Thor, But There’s More

The Norse God Odin: Viking God of War, Father of Thor, But There’s More

Odin is the chief deity of the Norse pantheon. Although Odin was worshipped more generally in Germanic paganism, the information we have today about this god is derived mostly from Norse mythology. These pieces of information include both written sources, such as myths, and archaeological finds, that combined paint a complex picture of this Norse (Viking) god. Consequently, it is difficult to figure out Odin’s exact role and character. Nevertheless, in general, Odin is viewed as a wise deity, in addition to his role as the Norse god of war. Apart from that, he was also associated with death, poetry, magic, and prophecy. As the primary god of the Norse pantheon, Odin plays an important role in many myths. And he was also the father of the mighty Thor, who is so loved in modern popular culture for his strength.

The Norse God Odin Was Also a Primary Germanic Deity

The name Odin is said to be derived from Proto-Germanic “Wodanaz,” which may be translated variously to mean “the fury,” “the furious,” “the inspired,” and “the inspiring.” One of the earliest textual references to the god Odin is found in  Germania, written by the  Roman historian Tacitus  in the 1st century AD. In his work, Tacitus wrote that the “Of all the gods,  Mercury is he whom they worship most. To him on certain stated days it is lawful to offer even human victims.” It has been pointed out that since Mercury’s day was identified as Wednesday, or “Woden’s day,” Tacitus was referring to Odin when he mentioned that the ancient Germans worshipped Mercury

Tacitus’ statement, however, must be taken with a pinch of salt. Whilst Odin was certainly a major deity amongst the  ancient Germans , there is insufficient evidence to show that his cult was primary to all the Germanic tribes. In other words, Tacitus may have been making a sweeping generalization about the religious beliefs of the people he was writing about. Additionally, it has been suggested that whilst the elites may have venerated Odin, he may have been less popular amongst the common people compared to his son,  Thor.

Odin: The Viking Creator God And His Many Children

One of Odin’s many epithets was “All-father.” Apart from the belief that he fathered many gods with various women (more about which in a moment), Odin was also regarded as a creator god. According to one myth, in the beginning, there was a vast emptiness called Ginnungagap. From this nothingness, two realms, Niflheim and Muspelheim, emerged. Niflheim was located to the north of Ginnungagap, and was an extremely cold place, with nothing but ice, frost, and fog. Muspelheim, by contrast, formed in the south of Ginnungagap, and was a hot place, with only fire, lava, and smoke.

In spite of these harsh conditions, life appeared. In Niflheim was a spring called Hvergelmir, which the Norse believed was the source of all the cold rivers. There were 11 cold rivers, collectively known as Elivagar. The water from these rivers flowed from the mountains to the plain of Ginnungagap, where it froze, forming a solid layer of ice. As time went by, the ice layer expanded. At the same time, lava was flowing from Muspelheim onto the plain of Ginnungagap. Eventually, the two met in the middle of Ginnungagap.

The meeting of the hot and cold elements resulted in the melting of the ice. The melted ice began to drip, and a human-like creature began to form in the ice. This was Ymir, the first  jotunn, or giant, in Norse mythology.

When Ymir slept, he began to sweat, and from these bodily fluids, two more giants, one male, and the other female, were born. Additionally, a third giant, another son called Thrudgelmir (meaning “Strength Yeller”) was born when one of Ymir’s legs paired with the other. The children of Ymir were the first of the frost giants, and were breastfed by Audhumbla, a giant cow, who, like Ymir, was created from the melting of the ice in Ginnungagap.

Audhumbla nourished herself by licking a block of salty ice. It was from this action that the first Norse god came into being. On the first day that the giant cow licked the block of salty ice, some human hair appeared. On the second day, a head emerged, and on the third, the rest of the body was freed. This was Buri, the first of the gods. Buri, through some unknown process, fathered a son, Borr, who later took Bestla (believed to be a jotunn) as his wife. Borr and Bestla were the parents of Odin, Vili, and Ve, the first of the Aesirs, one of the two main groups of gods in Norse mythology.

The three brothers noticed that the  Aesirs were outnumbered by the jotnar, who were producing new giants at a rapid pace. They reasoned that the only way to solve this problem was to kill Ymir. Therefore, Odin and his brothers waited for the giant to fall asleep, before attacking him. Ymir, however, woke up, and a terrible fight ensued. In the end, Ymir was slain. So much blood flowed from the jotunn’s corpse that most of his offspring were drowned in it. Only two giants managed to escape. Using Ymir’s remains, Odin and his brothers created the world.

Odin Was the Father of Many Including the Great God Thor

The Norse also believed that Odin and his brothers created the first human beings, though this appears to be unconnected to the creation myth. According to this story, Odin and his brothers were walking along a beach when they came across two logs, one from an ash, and the other from  an elm .

The gods decided to create humans out of the logs. Therefore, Odin gave the logs spirit and life, Ve gave them movement, mind, and intelligence, whilst Vili gave them shape, speech, feelings, and the five senses. The first man was called Ask, and the first woman Embla. The pair were placed by the gods in Midgard. 

Odin was also the father of many of the other Norse gods. Odin’s wife was the  goddess Frigg , with whom he had two sons, Baldur and Hod, who were direct opposites of each other. For instance, whilst Baldur represented light, Hod represented darkness (he is even depicted as being blind).

Odin also had sons with other women, many of whom were jotnar. For example, one of the best-known Norse gods, Thor, was the son of Odin and a jotunn named Jord. Another jotunn, Gridr, had a son, Vidarr, with Odin. According to prophecy, Vidarr, the god of vengeance, would avenge his father’s death during the Ragnarok. Another of Odin’s sons, Vali, was the offspring of the jotunn Rindr, and was destined to avenge the death of Baldur.

The heavenly palatial palace of Valhalla, depicted in this old painting by Max Brückner, was Odin's home.

Odin: The Norse God of War and His Palatial Valhalla Palace

In addition to his role as a creator god, Odin was worshipped as the Norse god of war. For instance, he was seen as a protector of Viking warriors. Additionally, the Norse thought that Odin never lost a battle, with some even believing that it was impossible for the god to lose a battle.

Most importantly, the Norse believed that those who died honorably in combat had the chance of entering  Valhalla(meaning “Hall of the Slain”), Odin’s palatial home. The slain warriors are recruited by Odin’s daughters, the Valkyries (literally meaning “dead choosers”), and lived in Valhalla, where they would feast daily, and prepare for the final Ragnarok battle. On the day of the final battle these warriors, known as the einherjar, would fight alongside Odin and the rest of the Norse gods against their enemies. 

Even though Odin was a warrior god, he did not win his battles with mere brute force and power. Indeed, the Norse also considered Odin to be a full of wisdom. Odin’s wisdom is most famously represented by his depiction as a one-eyed man. According to Norse mythology, the wisest god amongst the Aesir was  Mimir, whose origin is not entirely clear. This god was renowned for his knowledge and prophetic wisdom.

In one myth, Mimir is depicted as the caretaker of the Well of Knowledge (known also as Mimir’s Well). Odin, in his quest for knowledge, journeys to this well, so that he could drink from it. Although Odin was allowed to drink from the well, he had to sacrifice one of his eyes for the privilege.

The Well of Knowledge is believed to be located in Jotunheim, the land of the giants, which suggests that Mimir was a jotunn. In another myth, however, Mimir is depicted as an Aesir. In this myth, the Aesir were at war with the Vanir, the other major group of Norse gods. In the end, the Aesir and Vanir made peace, and exchanged hostages.

On the one hand, the Vanir sent some of their most prized members, such as Njord, Freyr, and Freyja, to the Aesir. On the other hand, Aesir sent Mimir and Hoenir to the Vanir.

Whilst Mimir was a powerful god, Hoenir is said to have been a weak and indecisive deity. When the Vanir discovered this, they took it as an insult, and executed Mimir in retaliation. The god’s severed head was sent to Odin, who magically reanimated it.

Mimir’s head, therefore, became a source of knowledge, and Odin relied on its counsel when he needed to make important decisions.

In this vintage illustration Odin is seated on his throne with his magical messengers: two ravens and two wolves.

The Source of Odin’s Knowledge and Wisdom: Ravens and Wolves

Mimir was not the only source of knowledge that Odin had access to. The Norse believe that the god kept a pair of ravens,  Huginn and Muninn  (whose names literally mean “Thought” and “Memory”). Each morning, the birds would travel across the Nine Worlds to observe all that was going on. At night, Huginn and Muninn would return to Odin, and report to him all they had seen. It was through these ravens that Odin learned about everything that went on in each realm.

Apart from the ravens, Odin also kept a pair of wolves, Grei and Freki (meaning “Ravenous,” and “Greedy One”). The pair were supposedly created when Odin felt lonely. In his role as a warrior god, the wolves were perfect companions for Odin, as they would scour the battlefield, and feast on those who died in battle. Additionally, Odin’s mount was an eight-legged horse named Sleipnir (meaning “Slipper”).

In the epic and final Ragnarok battle, Odin dies in the jaws of the wolf Fenrir.

Ragnarok: The Death of Odin in Fenrir’s Killer Wolf Jaws

Although Odin was an immensely powerful god, he too would perish one day, at the Ragnarok (meaning “Fate of the Gods”). The Norse believed that this would be the final battle at the end of the current cosmic order. The events of Ragnarok, including Odin’s own death, are said to have been prophesied by the god himself, but even he is powerless to prevent it from happening.

According to Norse mythology, Ragnarok will be preceded by a series of portents, including the birth of three monsters to Loki and Angrboda, his giantess wife, the death of Baldur, terrible winters, and the subversion of the cosmic order.

As Ragnarok approaches, the various combatants would converge on Vigrid (meaning ‘Field of Battle’), where the final battle would be fought. The gods, both Aesir and Vanir, and their followers would do battle with the forces of Loki and the jotnar. The gods would be led by Odin, wearing a gold helmet and hauberk, and armed Gungnir, his magical spear. At Ragnarok, Odin’s chief adversary was to be the Fenrir, the great wolf, and one of Loki’s offspring.

Odin foresaw that he would fight valiantly against the monstrous wolf but would, in the end, be devoured by it. Odin’s death, however, would be avenged by his son, Vidar, who rips apart Fenrir’s jaw, thereby killing the beast.

Although Ragnarok is depicted as a devastating event, it did not signal the end of the world. Odin prophesied that some of the gods would survive, in addition to a pair of humans, who would go on to repopulate the world.

Odin Remains The Chief Deity of Asir and the Norse Pantheon

To conclude, Odin is the chief deity of the Asir, and by extension, the Norse pantheon. This is clearly reflected in the fact that he is present in the major Norse myths from the creation of the world to the destruction of the current cosmos.

Although Odin is depicted as a warrior god, he is also believed to have been full of wisdom. Poetry, magic, and prophecy were also associated with this god. The last of these enabled Odin to foresee the events of Ragnarok.

Despite being a powerful god, and having won all the battles he fought, Odin was not invincible. This is almost human trait is well captured by Odin seeing his death in his fight with Fenrir at Ragnarok, and that he was powerless to change this fate.

Dr. Steven Greer: “Anyone Who Knows This Material Would Have A Bullet With His Name On It.”

Dr. Steven Greer: “Anyone Who Knows This Material Would Have A Bullet With His Name On It.” – New Now

Dr. Steven Greer: “Anyone Who Knows This Material Would Have A Bullet With His Name On It.”

For those who don’t know who Steven Macon Greer is, we will clarify that he is an American retired doctor and U̳F̳O̳logist. Steven was born on June 28, 1955.

He is the founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), and the initiator of The Disclosure Project. Both of these projects are trying to uncover allegedly confidential U̳F̳O̳ data.

We recommend that you watch the video attached to this text and judge for yourself: Is Dr. Steven Greer is right when he says, “Anyone who knows this material would have a bullet with his name on it.”

Ufology career

Greer founded the Center for the Study of E̳x̳t̳r̳a̳-T̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ Intelligence (CSETI) in 1990 to create a diplomatic and research-based initiative to contact e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳s̳. The group defined CE-5 or ‘close encounters of the fifth kind’ as human initiated contact and communication with e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ life. CSETI claims to have over 3,000 confirmed reports of U̳F̳O̳ sightings by pilots and over 4,000 of what they describe as landing traces. The organisation utilizes ‘Rapid Mobilisation Investigative Teams’ with the aim of arriving at landing sites as quickly as possible. CSETI has defined a protocol for human initiated contact to U̳F̳O̳s using consciousness.

In 1993, Greer founded the Disclosure Project, the goal of which is to publicly disclose the government’s alleged knowledge of U̳F̳O̳s, e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ intelligence, and advanced energy and propulsion systems. The Disclosure Project was founded in an effort to grant amnesty to government whistle-blowers willing to violate their security oaths by sharing classified information about U̳F̳O̳s. Greer claims to have briefed CIA director James Woolsey at a dinner party, although Woolsey disputes the accuracy of Greer’s claim.

In May 2001, Greer held a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that featured 20 retired Air Force, Federal Aviation Administration and intelligence officers.

Roswell Alien Interview between Matilda O'Donnell MacElroy and Airl after a UFO crash in July 1947

On July 7, 1947, an object crash landed on a ranch, approximately 75 miles northwest of Roswell, leaving a large field of debris. The local air base at Roswell investigated after the rancher first reported it to Roswell authorities on July 7. On July 8, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) announced it had recovered a "flying disk". A few hours after the initial "flying disk" press release, U.S. Army Air Force officials stated that it was not a UFO, but a weather balloon. When the question of what crashed was revived in the early 1980s, the "Roswell Incident" became a focus of conspiracy theorists, "abductees," and UFO investigators. It is believed the crashed UFO's were used for reverse engineering, explaining the rapid advancement in technology since that time.

British UFO Expert Claims Aliens Are Advanced Form Of Humans, Hiding Under Ocean

British UFO Expert Claims Aliens Are Advanced Form Of Humans, Hiding Under Ocean

British UFO Expert Claims Aliens Are Advanced Form Of Humans, Hiding Under Ocean

NASA is planning to send an army of mini swimming robots to find the aliens in the oceans of other planets. Such a plan could be used to detect signs of alien life beneath the miles-thick icy shell of Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Enceladus. But what about our home planet? Does NASA have any plan to explore our oceans? Have they already found everything about the only Blue planet in the Solar system? Or is something stopping them to do it? Interestingly, UFO expert Anna Whitty came forward with a strange theory that says “Aliens have been living under Earth’s ocean for protection and have always been here on the planet.”

Anna Whitty, an author of the book “UFO: A Fundamental Truth,” made the claim on the official statement of Dr. Shirley Wright, who interviewed aliens found at the Roswell crash site in 1947. Whitty stated that aliens are actually just humans – but an advanced form.

In a recently aired two-hour documentary on the UFO crash called “Roswell 75: The Final Evidence,” Anna Whitty was featured alongside expert Philip Mantle, director and producer Spyros Melaris, and Dr. David Hall.

The documentary also featured an interview where Dr. Shirley Wright, a former colleague of Albert Einstein stated that the aliens inquired about human exploration inside the ocean, they asked: “how far into the ocean” the humans traveled.

Whitty did an interviewer with the Daily Star, elaborating more on her claim, she said that if whatever Wright had documented through her interview is correct, then it is more believable for the aliens to come from under the sea rather than from another planet.

“If what Shirley said is right, it is more likely that aliens come from somewhere under the sea or caves or something like that, rather than another planet, it makes sense because there’s a lot of evidence on the planet that there has been a massive cataclysm every few thousand years,” Whitty said.

“If humans on the surface are being reset to the Stone Age every several thousands of years, and these people are somewhere where they are more protected because they are underground, then perhaps their development in technology and intelligence is continuing on an upwards trajectory whereas we’re reset. It’s also possible that maybe they aren’t beings at all, but they can make you think you’re seeing what you’re not seeing,” she added.

The documentary dives deep into the incident, examining the eyewitness accounts, the involvement of the space propaganda by the major powers, as well as several secret projects that were assumed to be covered up with the help of this incident.

Whitty’s theory of aliens being “underwater entities” could have some meaning as after all, there are videos of UFOs diving into the water. Below is the footage filmed in the CIC (Combat Information Center) of the USS Omaha on July 15, 2019, in a warning area off San Diego. This footage depicts a UAP event series that reached the culmination with one of the unknown targets entering the water. No wreckage was found, and none of the unknown craft was recovered.

Retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Richard French had served in the US army for more than 27 years. He was an alleged lead investigator of the Project Blue Book in the 1950s, his job was to shoot down false reports of UFOs. In Newfoundland, Canadian Province, he saw two aliens repairing their ship submerged underwater.

Richard French

French testified about his work on UFOs in 1952, in front of 6 former members of Congress at the Citizen Hearing in 2013. He recalled seeing two alien crafts below the water surface, 6 meters from the shoreline. He also saw two extraterrestrials near the ships. He remembered the water was clear, so he could see those beings doing something at the bottom of the craft.

“The water was fairly clear and I could see without any trouble. They weren’t down at the bottom of the [seabed] — they were about halfway down,” French said. He believed the aliens were repairing the ships and tested them before leaving. Whatever happened in Newfoundland is the classic UFO story ever given by the army official. Even though he was chosen to debunk UFO stories, he undoubtedly said that it was a UFO and there were extraterrestrials.

The idea that the ocean is inhabited by extraterrestrials can be backed by these incidents.

An incredible account of spotting underwater UFOs, or Underwater Submerged Objects (USOs), was shared by former Gunner’s Mate John Baughman, who served in the U.S. Navy from 2008 to 2013. He was stationed on the United States Navy’s third Nimitz-class supercarrier “The USS Carl Vinson” in 2010 when he first saw Tic Tac UFO underwater.

John Baughman

Capt. Kent D. Whalen and John Baughman, 2011

He said: “I was staring into the water from above when a large, flat, white ’Tic Tac’ object, approximately twenty feet in length, suddenly appeared in my view below me, moving right and darted into the depths as fast as it appeared. I couldn’t really comprehend what I saw. It was definitely a solid object, but when it descended, its forward end rapidly collapsed in on itself and disappeared.”

Another USO encounter occurred with the crew of the Soviet Submarine in the south of the Pacific ocean. At the depth of 260 meters, the six disc-like objects were moving toward the submarine at the speed of 426 km per hour. The crew could not escape their pursuit, and the commander ordered the crew to rise to the surface. The crew saw through the periscope that the objects came out of the water and took off at an absurdly fast speed.

There are classic alien abduction cases where the witnesses recalled being taken to secret underwater bases. The abduction of Betty Andreasson Luca is considered to be one of the most documented cases in the history of Ufology. The woman from Massachusetts experienced multiple abductions, and her case is widely studied by UFO researchers. (Click here to read the story of Betty Luca)

During one of her hypnotic regression sessions, Betty remembered one of the early abductions that occurred to her in her childhood. It took place in 1950, when she was taken from her home into a spacecraft as usual. But this time, the craft was flying toward an ocean or sea. She was terrified that the craft would crash into the water. But the ship submerged into the water and entered into a kind of tunnel. Betty could see everything underwater, as the place was filled with light.

Next is “Filiberto Cardenas Encounter,” where he claimed to have been taken to a secret underwater hangar, and interestingly, his abduction was witnessed by his friend’s family.

He remembered being taken to some unknown beach where he saw deep blue water. He said one of the aliens got out of the object and opened a secret tunnel, from where a similar craft came and flew away. The craft which he was in also went into the tunnel with great speed underwater. Soon, he was at the secret “large hangar” under the sea.

Saudi Arabia plans a massive desert SIDESCRAPER: MBS unveils 75 mile-long, $1 trillion skyscraper called the Mirror Line that will be taller than the Empire State Building and house up to five million people

Saudi Arabia plans a massive desert SIDESCRAPER: MBS unveils 75 mile-long, $1 trillion skyscraper called the Mirror Line that will be taller than the Empire State Building and house up to five million people

  • Saudi Arabia plans on building a 75-mile skyscraper called the Mirror Line by 2030 
  • Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in January 2021 and said he wanted to be greater than the Egyptian Pyramids
  • The Mirror Line will consist of two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallels to each other and go across desert, mountains, and coastal areas 
  • When completed, the $1 trillion megabuilding will hold up to 5million people and people will be able to commute end-to-end in 20 minutes 

Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans for a $1 trillion, 75 mile long skyscraper made of mirrored glass that will stretch across its desert and stand taller than the Empire State Building.

The Mirror Line will be a part of the desert city called the Neom - that will be around the size of Massachusetts - which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in January 2021.

He did so after saying he wanted his country to house a construction project as iconic and timeless as the Pyramids of Egypt. 

'The Line is a project that is a civilizational revolution that puts humans first,' he said at the time. 

The Mirror Line will consist of two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallel to each other across 75 miles of desert, coastal, and mountain landscapes. 

Prince MBS has claimed he wants the Mirror Line to be ready by 2030, although engineers have said it could take 50 years to construct.

The building is so long that it will sit on struts to take the curvature of the Earth into account, and will also have a high speed train line running underneath its length.  

If fully completed, the skyscraper will run from the Gulf of Aqaba, through a mountain range, and then extend along the coast into a desert 'aerotropolis,' the Wall Street Journal reported. 

Salman also said that the project aimed to allow a million residents to meet within a five-minute walk and to travel end-to-end within a 20-minute stretch. It will also reportedly be powered by renewable energy.

The futuristic buildings feature a silver shine and an intricate inside, with stairwells and greenery and homes to create a linear community. 

The trillions-of-dollars project is expected to house five million people after its completion and a high-speed train will run underneath the buildings, according to the Wall Street Journal. It will also feature a marina for boats underneath the arch of the buildings. 

The community of millions will also be fed through vertical farming that will be integrated into the walls of the shiny buildings and residents will reportedly pay a subscription for three meals a day.

Prince MBS insists the buildings will be totally carbon neutral and good for the local environment.  

The reflective buildings will house around five million people and residents will be able to get end-to-end in 20 minutes through renewable energy trains

Desert living won't just be hot, sticky, and sandy, but the Mirror Line will also feature a sports stadium that is set to be 1,000 feet above the ground. 

Salman is also hoping the Neom, as a whole, will create thousands of new jobs and let the oil-rich country stop being so dependent on the resource for wealth, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

However, foreign investments in the Neom have not been so forthcoming as many Western countries continue to boycott the country over alleged human rights violations. Salman has been accused of ordering the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, but the Crown Prince has denied any involvement. 

Others who have fewer political scruples have questioned whether the projects devised are just too ambitious. Saudi Arabia previously abandoned plans to build a mile-high skyscraper that would have been the world's tallest after getting into funding difficulties.  

US President Joe Biden, 79, met with the Crown Prince last week to talk over the broken relationships between the countries. Bitterness between the two subsided a little as Biden is hoping a relationship with the Crown Prince will help lower inflation rates in the US, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

High oil prices are actually helping Salman continue forth with the Mirror Line and Neom, as it is providing funding for the expensive project, the Wall Street Journal said.

However, Neom also faced human rights criticism when it was announced after tribes were forcibly removed from the area and security allegedly shot a resident dead. 

The project's completion date is set for 2030, but builders and urban planners are struggling to resolve many questions. The project was originally set to be completed in 50 years. 

Planners are struggling to answer if residents would consider living in a high-rise building after the pandemic, the migration of animals and birds, and how to deal with the structure impacting the flow of groundwater.

Environmental planners say the sheer size and length of the Mirror Line will disrupt migratory bird patterns - and the mirrored glazing of the building could further confuse them, pouring water on the project's desire to be planet-friendly.

‘We Have UFO Craft’ – Jeremy Corbell Says there’s Alien PROOF Being Kept Secret

Jeremy Corbell says UFO aren’t just real, but there is physical evidence they’ve been here.

He’s revealed countless, verified reports. And he says he has a WHOLE lot more…

It’s the age old question.. are we alone in the universe? Soon, we might get some answers.

For the first time in 50 years U.S military officials have gone before a Congress hearing, releasing once classified videos from fighter pilots’ cockpits.

One shows a fleeting image of a spherical object speeding past a military fighter jet.

It’s led to the inquiry which heard about hundreds of unexplained encounters. A Government report last year acknowledged that between 2004 and 2021 that there were 144 unexplained sightings.

Since then the number’s grown to 400.

Investigative UFO filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has obtained and released history making video, many of which have triggered the US government into action.

Video: Crop Circle in England Changes Overnight

Video: Crop Circle in England Changes Overnight

By Tim Binnall

A crop circle found in England over the weekend mysteriously transformed into a second design the following day. The unique case began on Sunday morning when a formation (seen above) featuring a flattened circle surrounding crops that had been shaped into a hexagon was discovered at a site known as Barbury Castle in the county of Wiltshire. As is so often the case, researchers quickly set about studying the design and offering their interpretations of what it might mean, with some noting that it appeared to be the method with which Archimedes approximated pi. However, it would seem that the creator of the crop formation wasn't quite finished as the design dramatically changed overnight.

When the sun rose on Monday morning, the formation (seen below) had taken on a whole new look with the hexagon of crops at the center of the circle having been transformed into 12 'blades' comprised of four triangles each. One is left to wonder if the extremely rare two-phase design was intentional on the part of its creator or if they were forced to abandon their work and came back later to finish it. Should the second scenario be the case, their determination is admirable, since returning to the proverbial scene of the crop crime is a rather risky gambit. That said, whether they were aliens from another world or humans with boards and rope, they somehow managed to complete the formation without anyone catching them.

Pilot snaps cockpit picture of mysterious red glow in clouds over Atlantic Ocean that some likened to a 'watergate' portal to the Upside Down in Netflix's Stranger Things

Pilot snaps cockpit picture of mysterious red glow in clouds over Atlantic Ocean that some likened to a 'watergate' portal to the Upside Down in Netflix's Stranger Things

  • Three eerie images photographed over the Atlantic Ocean were posted to Reddit on July 22 with a note saying the pilot who took the pictured had 'never seen anything like it' 
  • Redditors scrambled to solve the mystery while also reveling in comparisons to an underwater portal to the hellish Upside Down in Netflix's Stanger Things
  • Others speculated the lights could be the end of times, or aliens
  • Among the more sensible theories was that the lights emanated from a fishing boat using red LED panels to attract schools of saury fish 

A mysterious fiery red glow photographed by a pilot as he passed over clouds above the Atlantic Ocean have sparked comparisons with a 'watergate' - an underwater portal to the nightmarish parallel universe, the Upside Down - in Netflix's hit show Stranger Things. 

The three eerie images, taken on July 22, were posted to Reddit with the hopes of unraveling the mystery and included a note saying the pilot 'says he's never seen anything like it'. 

There, they spawned a frenzy of theories and comments ranging from comparisons to scenes from the latest series of Netflix's hit show Stranger Things, to others that suggested it was most likely a fishing boat using large panels of red LED lights to attract schools of saury fish. 

However, without closer inspection, the cause cannot be known for certain. So far the pilot has remained anonymous and there is no indication of how low he was flying or where over the Atlantic he saw the mysterious scene.

The images were posted to Reddit with a note that the pilot had never seen anything like it before. Reddit commenters immediately compared the mysterious scene to the latest series of Stranger Things where an underwater portal to the nightmarish Upside Down opens under Lovers' Lake in the very unfortunate town of Hawkins. More sensible commenters said it was most likely caused by a fishing vessel using red lights to draw schools of saury fish

The images were posted to Reddit with a note that the pilot had never seen anything like it before. Reddit commenters immediately compared the mysterious scene to the latest series of Stranger Things where an underwater portal to the nightmarish Upside Down opens under Lovers' Lake in the very unfortunate town of Hawkins. More sensible commenters said it was most likely caused by a fishing vessel using red lights to draw schools of saury fish

Saury fishing uses hundreds of massive LED lights on fishing boats' perimeters to attract fish, allowing them to be easily scooped up in nets. It is most often seen in the Pacific Ocean but the Atlantic saury is found from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Canada to Bermuda.

Although LED is the preferred option for fishing boats, due to its its higher efficiency and lower weight, the fishing boat below could be using another lighting solution like high-intensity discharge (HID). Its intense glow through the clouds suggests use of HID which would explain the volume of light escaping upwards in the photos.  

Saury fish are attracted to bright, red lights. The ships, which are large, are able to lure in thousands of fish that it simply vacuums up.  

When lights are placed under the water, they reflect off particles in the water. These tiny little particles enhance a natural food source for bait. 

However, Redditors made the most of the opportunity to suggest theories ranging from the end of times to aliens. Among the most popular was the Stranger Things comparison where, in season four, a portal opens in Hawkins's Lovers Lake. 

Don't get sucked in! Reddit commenters seized on the opportunity to compare the eerie red glow with the portal to the Upside Down (pictured above from the fourth season of the Netflix hit show Stranger Things). Others speculated it was the end of days or caused by aliens

The 'watergate' was at the bottom of Lovers Lake during the fourth season of Stranger things. The red glow of the watergate is similar to the clouds spotted by the pilot over the Atlantic Ocean

One Redditor wrote: 'Dustin's trying to open up a portal to the upside down - it is literally a watergate,' referring to one of the scenes. 

While another fears the red glow could mean the end of days and one Redditor shared: 'Don't worry it's just hte pits of hell staring back at you.'

It's not the first time pilots have reported strange sights. In 2014, Dutch pilot JPC van Heijst said he and his co-pilot flew over glowing clouds south of the Russian peninsula Kamchatka five hours into a 10-hour flight from Hong Kong to Anchorage, Alaska in a Boeing 747-8.

Van Heijst explained on PBase that they spotted an intense flash of light like a lightning bolt, directed vertically upwards which was followed by a deep red and orange glow 20 minutes later.  

However, what caused the eerie red glow under the clouds cannot be confirmed. The pilot who snapped the images has remained anonymous

The experience left van Heijst perturbed because it was completely without explanation. 

There were no thunderstorms on their route or weather radar, suggesting the lightning did not originate in a storm and the following glow was also a mystery. Similar lights have been spotted from squid-fishing-boats, but van Heijst says this 'would not make sense in this area'.

He said: 'The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow, in a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water.'

The only cause the pilots could think of was a volcano eruption under the surface of the ocean 30 minutes earlier but no ash plume followed and despite their being a few volcanoes on their route, they had had not been alerted to any new activity - although this doesn't necessarily include unseen underwater volcanoes. 

A more recent incident was captured in 2020 by another pilot who was also flying over the Pacific Ocean. The images were snapped as the plane was southeast of the Sea of Okhotsk.

The three photos, also shared on Reddit, show the same glowing lights peaking out from under the clouds and a majority of the comments point to fishing boats, but possibly a feet.

Mysterious red glow spotted by pilot while flying over Atlantic Ocean

A pilot flying saw a mysterious red glow over the Atlantic. The pilot claims he has never seen anything like it. 
mysterious%20read%20glow%20ocean%20(2).jpg

We all see enchanting sights when flying, but some are more extraordinary than others. A pilot flying over the Atlantic has noticed one of these things, the pilot also says he’s never seen anything like it before 
The pilot noticed a bright red glow before departure, which was confirmed when he looked at a photo preview on the camera's back. There was supposed to be nothing but an endless ocean for kilometers around them. 
They seemed at first like a distant city or a group of classic Asian squid fishing boats, but this was not possible here. The lights they saw were noticeably bigger than the conventional lights that cities or ships would emit, which are typically yellow and white. 
mysterious%20read%20glow%20ocean%20(1).jpg

The brightness intensified as they approached, illuminating the sky and clouds below the airplane in a spooky red glow that one might anticipate with a sizable fire on the ground. In a region of the globe where there should only be water.
 
The images, taken on July 22, were posted to Reddit with the hopes of unraveling the mystery. People suggested that it could be an underwater portal others suggested that it was a fishing boat using large panels of red LED lights to attract schools of saury fish. 
 
So far it remains a mystery what this red glow in the middle of the ocean could have been.

CGI recreation of a UFO encounter in Germany (Amazing TR-3B sighting)

CGI recreation of a UFO encounter in Germany (Amazing TR-3B sighting)

tr-3b-1024x691.png

Witness report: 

This encounter happened on July 25th, 2013 in Germany right at the French border. It was 10:30pm when my ex and I went outside to have a cigarette.

While we were talking, I noticed 3 oddly bright stars in the corner of my eye. I looked over my shoulder and in that moment those „stars“ quickly descended. BOOM. There it was. Completely unexpected! A pitch black triangular craft hovering completely silent about 30 feet above our heads, „looking“ at us belly first. Each side was approximately 30 feet long. Its lights were extremely bright, yet not blinding. I would describe them as „pure lights“. I’ve never seen anything like it before.

We were absolutely gobsmacked. Like deer caught in the headlights. We felt paralyzed. As if we were hypnotized or controlled. Just frozen and staring in disbelief. Everything was or seemed silent in that moment. Before, you could hear frogs and crickets. They were quite noisy. It was as if time had stopped. Oddly enough neither of us was able to say if that encounter had lasted 5, seconds, 30 seconds or 3 minutes.

Before it took off, it moved super fast from the left, upwards and to right. It was „zigzagging“. Like a ping pong ball. It was totally surreal. I did not understand what was happening. Then it shot off towards space in an instant. It was so fast, it left trails of light behind like in that Star Wars scene when they hit warp or light speed. And during all of this it didn’t make the slightest noise. Nothing! We immediately turned our heads towards each other and confirmed that we really just saw, what we saw.

We looked up again, then at each other again and without saying a word we ran inside the house, because fear and the flight instinct kicked in. However, my curiosity quickly took over and I went outside again, but the craft never returned. So yeah, that’s my story. I didn’t choose to have that sighting, but it happened. It was a blessing and a curse. A blessing, because I feel lucky to know for a fact, that the phenomenon is real. But a curse, because many people don’t believe me and choose ridicule. I got over that, though.

What’s worse is, that this incident has created a ton of questions but not many answers. I will NOT say or claim, that what we saw was ET. I simply have no way of knowing that. But what I know, is that the craft was 100% real. Needless to say, that that night has changed my life forever. I used to be the most hardcore atheist, making fun of religion. So I kind of deserved the ridicule. It didn’t make me religious though. Just a lot more open minded. I still don’t believe in a god, especially not in the biblical sense. I’d still say that aliens interdimensional theories or black budget projects seem more plausible to me than a biblical god. But I will never claim that I know anything. Since that night, I KNOW THAT I KNOW NOTHING!

Rusland trekt zich na 2024 terug uit het Internationale Ruimtestation ISS

NASA

Rusland trekt zich na 2024 terug uit het Internationale Ruimtestation ISS

De Russische ruimtevaartorganisatie Roskosmos zal over twee jaar uit de internationale samenwerking rond het Internationale Ruimtestation ISS stappen. Dat heeft de topman van Roskosmos Joeri Borissov gezegd tijdens een gesprek met  de Russische president Vladimir Poetin op de televisie. Rusland is samen met de Verenigde Staten, Europa, Canada en Japan partner in het ISS.

"Wij zullen zonder twijfel al onze verplichtingen tegenover over partners nakomen, maar de beslissing is genomen om na 2024 uit het ruimtestation ISS te stappen", zo kondigde Joeri Borissov de uitstap van zijn land uit het ruimteproject aan in aanwezigheid van president Vladimir Poetin.

Eerder had Rusland er al mee gedreigd om uit het ISS-project te stappen. De eerste keer was dat begin vorig jaar en eerder dit jaar na de afkondiging van westerse sancties tegen Rusland na de invasie in Oekraïne. Volgens Moskou zijn de Russische modules van het ISS te oud en versleten en zou een herstelling te veel geld kosten. Ook zou het ISS-project in de huidige gepolitieke situatie niet houdbaar zijn, had Roskosmos eerder gezegd.

In de plaats wil Roskosmos nu volledig inzetten op het toekomstige Russische ruimtestation ROSS (Russian Orbital Service Station) dat over enkele jaren zou gelanceerd moeten worden en dat vanaf 2030 operationeel zou moeten zijn. 

ISS zonder Rusland?

Naast Rusland zijn ook de Verenigde Staten, de Europese Unie, Groot-Brittannië, Canada en Japan betrokken bij het ruimtestation en sturen zijn daar regelmatig teams naartoe.

Wel zijn de Russen erg belangrijke partners wegens hun lange ervaring met dat soort ruimtestations, hun technologie en ook omdat hun Sojoez-ruimtecabines en -raketten tot de belangrijkste transportmiddelen behoren om het ISS te voorzien van mensen en voorraden. De Russische modules van het ISS staan onder meer in voor het besturen en controleren van het ISS. Die modules zijn bij de oudste onderdelen van het station en vertoonden de afgelopen jaren tekenen van slijtage. Er is uiteraard ook nog de veel gebruikte raketbasis van Baikonoer, al ligt die dan in de buurrepubliek Kazachstan. 

Rusland had eerder decennia van ervaring opgebouwd met de ruimtestations Saljoet en Mir. De samenwerking met westerse landen in de ruimte werd beschouwd als een gevolg van het einde van de Koude Oorlog, maar die situatie lijkt nu terug te keren.

Oost en west samen in de ruimte

De eerste module van het ISS werd in 1998 gelanceerd en sindsdien is het ruimtestation gevoelig uitgebreid. Sinds 2000 wordt het bemand door astronauten van de deelnemende landen. Dat zijn naast Rusland, ook de Verenigde Staten, de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA (met onder meer ons land en ook Groot-Brittannië) en ook Japan en Canada zijn partnerlanden. 

Het is de bedoeling om het ISS nog tot 2028 in de ruimte te houden, ook al  }een nieuw station wellicht erg duur zal worden, zeker als Rusland niet meer wil meewerken. Intussen bouwt ook China geleidelijk een ruimtestation in een baan om de aarde uit.
