Congressional Committee Concerned After Pentagon UFO Report Briefing
Congressional Committee Concerned After Pentagon UFO Report Briefing
With a June 25 deadline, the Pentagon has just one more week to release its report on unidentified aerial phenomena, but the U.S. House Intelligence Committee received a detailed briefing on June 16 by Navy and FBI Personnel, and many of the members expressed concern – not only that it doesn’t reveal enough but also but that there is a real unease about things that can’t be explained. Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee told a TMZ reporter before the briefing that “Clearly, something’s going on that we can’t handle.” Specifically:
“It has to be something that is out of our galaxy, it just has to be if it in fact is real.
“I think Roswell was covered up.”
Burchett also referenced what he said (and many agree with) were UFO references in the bible, particularly in the book of Ezekiel. Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the committee chairman, said in The New York Post that the briefing was “interesting” and he “did learn things that were certainly new to me,” but wouldn’t give any details. Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois said was glad the “stigma is gone” from UFO discussions and “the fact that they are taking this sort of thing seriously for the first time, I think, is important.” If one needs more proof this briefing was considered important, look no further than the fact it was held inside a SCIF, or “sensitive compartmented information facility.”
“Everyone who’s paid enough attention to it understands they need to take it seriously. But once you go beyond that circle, you get people who are understandably resistant because of the tinfoil hat stigma. If [these objects] had the flag of Russia on the side, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Every one of these would be reported; everyone would be on top of it.”
Burchett said there was no way the UAPs seen by Navy personnel were Russian, as did former deputy defense secretary David Norquist, who set up a task force in 2020 to investigate UAPs but was not part of the briefing. He told CNN the “tinfoil hat” skeptics may have prevented more from being revealed. Which side is President Biden on? Burchett told TMZ he didn’t think Biden brought it up with Vladimir Putin in their summit in Geneva – which coincidentally occurred at about the same time as the briefing.
Don’t drag me into this!
“If the Russians had UFO technology, I mean, they would own us right now, they used to say that they’ve heard people talk about how the Nazis had it in the second world war that they did, they would have won. That is ridiculous.”
A discussion of who owns UFOs between two world leaders is “ridiculous”? No wonder Burchett thinks they’re from “out of our galaxy.”
If there’s one positive takeaway from the briefing, it’s that there really is a Pentagon report on UAPs and all signs indicate it wall be released soon. Congress members are concerned. The suspense is becoming unbearable. Let’s hope these are signs it will be worth the wait.
There have been plenty of strange flaps of mysterious lights and luminous phenomena in the skies of our world. Such spates of sightings often come in a wave, only to just fade away leaving no explanations and plenty of awe and debate. One such case happened in Northern Europe in the region of Scandinavia back in 1946. During this one year period there would be thousands of sightings of something very odd going on up in the sky, which have never really been explained and have come to be known as the Ghost Rockets.
Beginning in 1946, mysterious objects in the sky began to appear frequently over a variety of Scandinavian countries, in particular Sweden and Finland. These objects were typically described as tubular or cigar or spindle-shaped objects, sometimes with visible wings and sometimes without, that typically streaked fast across the sky but also displayed all manner of erratic behavior. These objects were reported as speeding up or slowing down, doing aerial maneuvers, and even flying in formation, typically leaving no exhaust trail and almost always described as being completely silent, although a few reports described a hissing or rumbling sound. They were seen at all hours of the day and night, and were so bright they could even be seen in broad daylight. The first real recorded sighting of what would go on to be called “Ghost Rockets” was made in Finland on February 26, 1946, but soon the entire region would experience a surge of sightings of these things in the sky, with around 2,000 sightings reports made between May and December of that year alone, often with radar signatures to back them up.
Alleged photo of one of the lights
At times, there were even reported crashes of Ghost Rockets, usually with the rockets coming down into large bodies of water such as lakes or the sea. There were quite a few such crashes that allegedly happened, and on more than one occasion Swedish authorities moved in to investigate, even sending divers in to look for evidence of any mysterious objects on the bottom. One of the most well-known of these investigations was carried out at Sweden’s Lake Kölmjärv, where on July 19, 1946 a gray, rocket-shaped object with wings reportedly came down after an earsplitting boom, to go skidding over the surface and sink. The Swedish Air Force quickly moved in and spent around 3 weeks scouring the bottom of the lake, but they would officially find nothing but a large patch of lake bottom that had been disturbed and looked like something very big had impacted there. No fragments or reason why this crater was there could be found, and one Swedish Air Force officer would state:
There are many indications that the Kölmjärv object disintegrated itself. The object was probably manufactured in a lightweight material, possibly a kind of magnesium alloy that would disintegrate easily, and not give indications on our instruments.
Several more military investigations were carried out at other similar crash sites, but on every occasion it was claimed that nothing was found. In the meantime, sightings of the Ghost Rockets were pouring in from all over Scandinavia, and although Sweden tried to keep a lid on it all, there were simply too many reports to keep it all a secret, with headlines around the world covering the strange phenomenon. When pressed for answers as to what was going on, Sweden projected a skeptical stance that anything truly unexplainable was happening, largely writing it off as a mixture of atmospheric phenomena, meteors, aircraft, and overactive imaginations. However, they did concede that not all of the reports of Ghost Rockets were so easy to dismiss, and in October of 1946 the Swedish Defense Staff would tell a press conference:
Most observations are vague and must be treated very skeptically. In some cases, however, clear, unambiguous observations have been made that cannot be explained as natural phenomena, Swedish aircraft, or imagination on the part of the observer. Echo, radar, and other equipment registered readings but gave no clue as to the nature of the objects.
Most in the scientific community wrote it off as meteors, as several alleged fragments from the Ghost Rockets that had been examined turned out to be either pieces of meteorites or just plain old coke or slag, in other words, rocks. However, not everyone was so sure all of the phenomena could be attributed to meteorites, due to the fact that the objects often were seen doing acrobatics, flying horizontally, flying in formation, or accelerating and decelerating, none of which are things meteorites are known to do, and they also did not typically leave trails behind them.
The phenomenon also attracted the interest of the United States, and two U.S. experts on aerial warfare, a General Jimmy Doolittle and General David Sarnoff, went to Sweden in August of 1946, ostensibly on other unrelated business, but who also asked around to the Swedish military about the Ghost Rockets. In fact, they were given briefings on the phenomenon and able to interview many senior officers with the Swedish Air Force. The two generals went away convinced that the Ghost Rockets were a real thing and not a myth. When they brought their findings back to the United States, the Americans came to the conclusion that these were actual missiles being seen, likely top-secret V-1 or V-2 missiles being fired by the Germans from a rocket facility at the German seaside town of Peenemünde. Lt. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, who was the director of the Central Intelligence Group (CIG), would write a Top Secret memo to President Truman explaining this theory, saying:
The weight of evidence pointed to Peenemünde as origin of the missiles, that a US MA [military attaché] in Moscow had been told by a ‘key Swedish Air Officer’ that radar course-plotting had led to conclusion that Peenemünde was the launch site. CIG speculates that the missiles are extended-range developments of V-1 being aimed for the Gulf of Bothnia for test purposes and do not overfly Swedish territory specifically for intimidation; self-destruct by small demolition charge or burning.
The problem with this is that not only had there been no reported launches of any sort of missile or rocket from Peenemünde at the time, but missiles don’t speed up and slow down or do the extreme aerial acrobatics seen with the Ghost Rockets any more than meteorites do. Despite the widespread belief that these Ghost Rockets must have been meteorites, rockets, or both, the U.S. government seemed to remain open to the idea that they could have been something more outlandish and mysterious. In a top secret document by USAFE (United States Air Force Europe) from 1948 that was declassified in 1997, the Swedish Ghost Rockets are mentioned, as is a supposed crash of one of them that left a crater at the bottom of the lake, and the document says:
They (UFOs) have been reported by so many sources and from such a variety of places that we are convinced that they cannot be disregarded and must be explained on some basis which is perhaps slightly beyond the scope of our present intelligence thinking. When officers of this Directorate recently visited the Swedish Air Intelligence Service, this question was put to the Swedes. Their answer was that some reliable and fully technically qualified people have reached the conclusion that ‘these phenomena are obviously the result of a high technical skill which cannot be credited to any presently known culture on earth’. They are therefore assuming that these objects originate from some previously unknown or unidentified technology, possibly outside the earth. We are inclined not to discredit entirely this somewhat spectacular theory [extraterrestrial origins], meantime keeping an open mind on the subject.
The lights would disappear just as suddenly as they started, reports would dry up, and we would be left to wonder just what was going on here. To this day there has been no clear explanation for what caused the Ghost Rockets flap of 1946, despite much discussion and debate. Were these meteorites, rockets, some weird atmospheric phenomena, or all of the above? Or was it perhaps something altogether stranger and more otherworldly? Why did it all congregate in this region in 1946 and what is it that the governments involved might not be telling us? No one really knows, and the Scandinavian Ghost Rockets remain a curious unsolved mystery.
My previous article was on the subject of the Bigfoot-UFO connection. It’s important to note, however, that Bigfoot is not the only cryptozoological creature that has been tied to aliens. Take, for example, the matter of the mysterious Dogmen. There’s no doubt that the leading researcher in the field of the Dogman is Linda Godfrey. And, interestingly, Linda has a relevant story to tell about the Dogmen; a story that ties the creatures to aliens. In 2005, Linda was contacted by a man – a military whistle-blower, we might say – who was an expert in the field of remote-viewing. According to Linda’s Edward Snowden-like source, the U.S. Government has uncovered data suggesting that the werewolf-like Dogmen are a very ancient, alien race that closely resembles a certain ancient deity of the Underworld. And who might that be? It’s Anubis, that’s who. Linda’s informant also discovered – via remote-viewing – that the Dogmen can “jump” from location to location via portals or doorways in the fabric of space and time. Wormholes, we might say. That’s quite a story told to Linda.
Moving on: between the nights of December 26 and 29, 1980, multiple, extraordinary events of the UFO kind occurred within Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England. They were events that involved military personnel from the nearby Royal Air Force stations of Bentwaters and Woodbridge. Since that now long gone period, countless U.S. Air Force personnel, who were stationed in the area at the time, have spoken out regarding their knowledge of a small, triangular-shaped object that was seen maneuvering in the forest. Others described seeing in the dark woods almost ghostly, extraterrestrial-type beings of short size and with eerie, feline-like eyes. Strange and unknown lights were seen dancing around the night skies, circling both the forest and the twin military facilities. There were stories that the amazing movements of the UFOs were caught on radar. There is, however, something else: a strange creature seen in the very same forest.
Rendlesham Forest, as well as the Suffolk locales of West Wratting and Balsham, is reportedly home to something equally as strange – maybe even far more so – than a vehicle and creatures from another world. It is a beast that, locally, has come to be known as the Shug Monkey. Described as being a bizarre combination of giant dog, muscular bear, and large ape, the creature is said to take its name from either (A) an old English word – scucca – which means demon, and which, as we have seen already, also has a link to the naming of Shugborough Hall, Staffordshire; or (B) an old east-coast term – shucky – that translates, into modern day terminology, as hairy or shaggy. Maybe the name is even born out of a curious melding of both terms. But, whatever the true nature of the name applied to the foul, hairy entity, its presence in the woods of Suffolk is enough to strike deep terror into the hearts of those souls unfortunate enough to have crossed its path.
Now, let’s take a trip to Loch Ness, Scotland – the home of the legendary Nessies. Just like the Bigfoot creatures, the Dogmen and the Shug Monkey, the Loch Ness Monsters have connections to UFOs. On August 13, 1971, a notable encounter occurred at Loch Ness. Not with a monster, but with a UFO. The witness was one Graham Snape, who told Nessie-seeker Ted Holiday that he saw an unidentified object crossing the skies above Loch Ness in a left to right fashion, quickly, and with not even a bit of accompanying noise. The somewhat circular-shaped UFO was purple with a white center. By his own admission, Snape was unsure of the size of the object but suggested it was around five-feet in diameter. More Loch Ness weirdness hit the news in 2011, specifically in August of that year. The UK’s Daily Express newspaper splashed a headline across its pages that read: “Alert as UFO is sighted over Loch Ness.” The story was, undoubtedly, an odd one. That something occurred does not appear to be in doubt. It is, however, the nature of the “something” that remains open to debate. It was on the night of August 20, 2011 that a number of people –many being completely independent of each other – encountered something unusual in the skies over Loch Ness.
Witness descriptions of the movements of the object fell into two camps: those who said they saw it descending into the loch and those who maintained it was actually hovering above the expansive waters. As for the appearance of the UFO, it very much depended on who one asked. But, whatever it was, it quickly caught the attention of the emergency services, who were contacted by worried locals. Martin Douglas, of the Loch Ness Life Boat crew, told the Daily Mail that someone in the area had seen what, superficially at least, resembled a microlight or a hang-glider, and which actually seemed to enter the loch in a controlled flight. Oddly, however, others who saw the unknown craft described it as being somewhat balloon-shaped. Then there were those who opined it looked eerily like a fully-open parachute. There was, then, no real, solid consensus on what was seen – or on what wasn’t seen.
And, of course, there’s the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia that plagued the area from 1966 to 1967. The red-eyed, winged thing was not the only strange thing seen in and around the city. Men in Black prowled around, terrifying witnesses to UFOs and the Mothman itself. What all of this tells us (including the information in my Bigfoot-UFO article) is that, like it or not, where strange, cryptozoological creatures are seen, so are UFOs. Somewhere there’s an answer to all of this, but outright denying the reality of these weird connections between UFOs, aliens and monsters will get us nowhere. In fact, it will push us back, rather than forward.
Space pinball! Four planets locked in a rhythm around their star 135 light years away are destined to be sent 'pinballing' around their solar system when their sun eventually dies, study claims
Space pinball! Four planets locked in a rhythm around their star 135 light years away are destined to be sent 'pinballing' around their solar system when their sun eventually dies, study claims
Four planets 135 light years from Earth will 'pinball' around when their star dies
They will fly loose from their 'perfect' orbits in HR 8799 system, researchers say
But Warwick and Exeter scientists believe it won't happen for three billion years
Four massive planets 135 light years away from Earth will be sent 'pinballing' around their solar system when the sun they orbit eventually dies, a new study suggests.
Astronomers say the planets, more than five times the mass of Jupiter, will fly loose from their orbits and bounce off each other's gravity in a similar way to a game of pinball.
They are currently locked in a 'perfect rhythm' around a 30 to 40 million-year-old star, with each one completing double the orbit of its close neighbour.

Pinball machine: Four massive planets 135 light years away from Earth will be sent careering around their solar system when the sun they orbit eventually dies, a new study suggests. The planets are in rhythm around a star in the HR 8799 system (pictured in an artist's impression)
WHAT IS THE HR 8799 SYSTEM AND WHEN WAS IT DISCOVERED?
The HR 8799 system is made up of four unusually massive planets orbiting a star that is 30 to 40 million years old.
It was discovered almost 13 years ago and has been 'iconic' for exoplanetary science ever since, according to one researcher.
The four planets, which are more than five times the mass of Jupiter, are currently in a 'perfect rhythm' around their sun 135 light years away from Earth, researchers have said.
Although this is expected to continue for the next three billion years, it will break when the star enters its red giant phase.
It will then expand to several hundred times its current size and eject nearly half its mass, finishing as a white dwarf.
For every orbit the furthest planet completes, the next closest completes two, the next completes four, while the closest completes eight.
Despite the effects of Galactic tides and close flybys of other stars, this is likely to continue for the next three billion years, researchers from the universities of Warwick and Exeter determined.
However, it will break when the star in the HR 8799 system enters its red giant phase.
At this point it will expand to several hundred times its current size and eject nearly half its mass, finishing as a white dwarf and wreaking havoc with the gravitational forces in the solar system.
The planets will then start to pinball and become a highly chaotic system where their movements become very uncertain.
Changing a planet's position by even one centimetre at the start of the process can dramatically change the outcome, researchers say.
Lead author, Dr Dimitri Veras, from the University of Warwick department of physics, said: 'The planets will gravitationally scatter off of one another.
'In one case, the innermost planet could be ejected from the system. Or, in another case, the third planet may be ejected.
'Or the second and fourth planets could switch positions. Any combination is possible just with little tweaks.
'They are so big and so close to each other the only thing that's keeping them in this perfect rhythm right now is the location of their orbits.
'All four are connected in this chain. As soon as the star loses mass, their locations will deviate, then two of them will scatter off one another, causing a chain reaction amongst all four.'
This wide-field image shows the surroundings of the star HR8799 in the constellation of Pegasus. This picture was created from material forming part of the Digitised Sky Survey 2
As well as the star and four unusually massive planets, the HR 8799 system also contains two debris discs – one inside the orbit of the innermost planet and the other outside the outermost.
When the pinball game is triggered, researchers are certain the planets will move around enough to dislodge this debris and knock it into their dying sun.
They hope this modelling can offer new insight into how white dwarfs with polluted atmospheres originally evolved.
Astronomers are analysing this type of debris today to discover the histories of other white dwarf systems.
Dr Veras added: 'These planets move around the white dwarf at different locations and can easily kick whatever debris is still there into the white dwarf, polluting it.
'The HR 8799 planetary system represents a foretaste of the polluted white dwarf systems that we see today. It's a demonstration of the value of computing the fates of planetary systems, rather than just looking at their formation.'
Co-author, Professor Sasha Hinkley, of the University of Exeter, said: 'The HR 8799 system has been so iconic for exoplanetary science since its discovery nearly 13 years ago, and so it is fascinating to see into the future, and watch it evolve from a harmonious collection of planets into a chaotic scene.'
THE VERY LARGE TELESCOPE IS A POWERFUL GROUND-BASED INSTRUMENT IN CHILE
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) built the most powerful telescope ever made in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.
It is called the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and is widely regarded as one of the most advanced optical instruments ever made.
It consists of four telescopes, whose main mirrors measures 27 feet (8.2 metres) in diameter.
There are also four movable six feet (1.8 metre) diameter auxiliary telescopes.
The large telescopes are called Antu, Kueyen, Melipal and Yepun.
The European Southern observatory (ESO) built the most powerful telescope ever made in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile and called it the Very Large Telescope (VLT).
The first of the Unit Telescopes, 'Antu', went into routine scientific operations on April 1, 1999.
The telescopes can work together to form a giant 'interferometer'.
This interferometer allows images to be filtered for any unnecessary obscuring objects and, as a result, astronomers can see details up to 25 times finer than with the individual telescopes.
It has been involved in spotting the first image of an extrasolar planet as well as tracking individual stars moving around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way.
It also observed the afterglow of the furthest known Gamma Ray Burst.
Four large worlds located in a multi-planet system called HR 8799 will someday end up playing space pinball with one another. As of right now, these planets are orbiting their host star located about 135 light-years away from us in an organized and locked rhythm, but that will eventually change when their sun dies.
According to astronomers in a new study, these massive planets (they are over five times the mass of Jupiter) will be sent “pinballing” around their system after their star dies (it is currently between 30 and 40 million years old) as they will lose their perfect orbits and starting crashing and bouncing off of each other.
Their orbits are presently perfect as one planet completes double the orbit of the previous closest world. To understand this better, when one planet completes an orbit, the next one does two orbits, followed by the next world completing four orbits, and the last one doing eight.
(Not the HR 8799 system)
Researchers from the universities of Warwick and Exeter have calculated that the “pinballing” event won’t happen for another three billion years when the host star will begin its phase of becoming a red giant. When this happens, the star will lose almost half of its mass and grow several hundred times the size it is now until it becomes a white dwarf.
At that point, the planets will begin to bounce around as explained by Dr. Dimitri Veras from the department of physics at the University of Warwick, “The planets will gravitationally scatter off of one another.” “In one case, the innermost planet could be ejected from the system. Or, in another case, the third planet may be ejected.” “Or the second and fourth planets could switch positions. Any combination is possible just with little tweaks.”
He went on to say, “They are so big and so close to each other the only thing that’s keeping them in this perfect rhythm right now is the location of their orbits.” “All four are connected in this chain. As soon as the star loses mass, their locations will deviate, then two of them will scatter off one another, causing a chain reaction amongst all four.”
(Not the HR 8799 system)
And that’s not all as there are two debris discs located in the system – one inside the innermost planet’s orbit, and the other on the outside of the outermost world’s orbit. When the “pinballing” event happens, the debris in the discs will more than likely become scattered and fly into the star. (A picture of the HR 8799 system can be seen here.)

It may seem easy to dismiss the UFO phenomenon for the average human going about their daily lives. From Ancient Aliens to War of the Worlds, pop culture around the world has banked off the idea that we are not alone in this universe for nearly a century. Yet, as time moves forward and technological capabilities increase, the thought still remains. And questions about the subject are more widespread than ever before.
Today, concerns on the issue may deepen. And acceptance over the potential issue is set to grow. The United States Congress itself is to be briefed over what the Pentagon claims to know so far about what has possibly been lurking over the human world.
In a report from The U.S. Sun, what is known about the truth of the matter from U.S. intelligence agencies will be told to lawmakers in Congress as of today.
Experts from the Navy, the FBI and the Pentagon will reveal what they know so far to Congress.
Representative Andre Carson will chair the classified briefing. He claims that the meeting is a “significant and timely topic” due to growing concerns that the unidentified aerial phenomenon might be an issue of national security. Some in congress have warned that this may be an unknown technological advantage from the likes of Russia or China. But others are not so quick to reduce the idea to human efforts.
Representative Tim Burchett told TMZ that, “If they had the kind of advanced technology pilots have reported seeing, Putin would already own America.” The news does come on the same day that Biden and Putin had a conference meeting. But doubts are high that there is any correlation on that matter.
This is the first time since the Disclosure Project event at the National Press Club on May 9th, 2001 that government officials have gathered to reveal truths on the matter. Before that, Project Blue Book from the U.S. Air force researching the idea had come to the conclusion that there was nothing to see. It ended its own research in 1969. Humans across the United States have to question the matter on their own. There is little official reporting from any news or government agencies since the time. Now, that narrative has seemed to have come to a great change.
In recent years, the Pentagon has released a few important but hardly decipherable videos claiming to show UFO activity.
The videos have sparked intense debate and conversation across media outlets worldwide. But the public has not seen anything concrete or entirely revealing as of now. The briefing to Congress is still a big step in a direction towards understanding what is actually happening here.
UFO documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell said in a recent statement to Newsmax that, “It leaves us with some uncomfortable truths that these are not ours. Soon we’re going to know it’s not Russian, it’s not Chinese, it’s not any foreign nation that is technologically developed as we know it… They fly with impunity through our airspace. They outmaneuver, outperform our greatest warships and warcraft. The big question is who’s operating these unidentified flying objects and what is their intent? We need to start asking the hard questions and eradicating the stigma associated with these because they’re right in front of your eyes.”
Thousands of UFO sightings are reported and documented every year, according to statista.com.
The number has jumped from 319 in 1990 to 7,267 in 2020 alone. These individual reports include everything from triangle-shaped UFOs in the skies to UFOs breaking apart into geometric fleets. They also include reports of UFOs, astonishingly, coming from the ocean instead of coming down from the sky. Some have been reported to shut down nuclear facilities. Some have been reported to actually abduct humans from the Earth.
The truth still seemingly remains unknown. But as information is set to be declassified sooner than later, let us hope that the real truth is what we are about to see and not further games from players on the world stage with a set agenda of God knows what. There is a great deal of hype around the subject. And many are prepared to build an understanding of what is happening here.
UFO Sigted Over Musquodoboit Harbour, Nova Scotia ( June 11, 2021 )
June 11. The gentleman speaking on the video asked if anyone else saw it and if anyone knew what it was. No one seemed to think it was a UFO. Most people said it was the the lunar eclipse. In the video he said it wasn’t a fire but that he saw vapour. Whatever it was it was giving off enough heat to cause vapour in the cold temperatures we have at night.

Bright UFO Filmed Keeping Pace With Commercial Airplane Over San Juan, Puerto Rico. May 4, 2021
This object was sighted as the witness was coming into land at San Juan in Puerto Rico and of the bat we can tell that this is not a reflection from a light inside the plane as when the buildings we see that the object goes behind them and remerges. If this is another plane then where is the Navigation lights, These should blink every two to three seconds and in the footage their are no blinking lights. As for a boat this would have to be a pretty fast & big boat to keep pace with the airplane. So what do you guys think this could be??
Thanks to paolo cafarellifor allowing me the use of his footage and to view the original: https://youtu.be/V-QuQuiFtFI

This object seen to look like the classic saucer shape craft and could these crafts making a return? The object looks metallic with the sun shining upon the top part of the UFO leaving the bottom part a darker gray color. Certain parts of this object's movement it seem to be spinning and this would be what you would see from a flying saucer. I only wished that they filmed for longer but i would rather have this than nothing at all...

MUFON CASE : 116280 Myrtle Beach, South Carolina ( June 15, 2021 )
On vacation with my husband we enjoy sitting and talking on the beach in the evenings and listening to the waves. On June 13th we were sitting on the beach and heard someone say what is that? We looked to our left and 2 reddish orbs were above the beach almost looked like they were flying towards us. We watched a couple minutes or so trying to come up with an explanation of what they could be but we have seen tons of helicopters and planes in the skies at night and it was clearly not either one. They never moved away from one another , they stayed the same distance from each other and didn’t appear to be carried by wind. By the time I got my phone out to record them one just seemed to dim out, not long after the other did the same. Not sure what we saw but it seemed to also puzzle the others on the beach around us.
While searching a Ceres map I noticed that the map was deliberately lightened by NASA to hide the details. So I added some contrast and the things started popping out. Adding too much light, making photos black and white and also using false color (mars photos) to confuse the public so that we don't notice the alien artifacts on the surface of the moons and planets. But once you become use to this...its easy to focus it and restore the photo to its original glory most the time.
This UFO is parked in a crater, where most the UFOs I find on planets and moons are commonly found. The crater is about 25km by 35km more or less and that would make the size of this spaceship 5km from wing tip to wing tip. It could easily carry tens of thousands of passengers. It's like a small city inside this craft.
Can you imagine what Elon Musk would say if he knew about this craft? I bet it would be, "I'll get there in 30 days." But I'm sure Elon Musk gets alot of alien tech from DARPA program. They leak it out bit by bit to get it into the public sectors. I think even President Biden has no clue to the existence of this alien spacecraft and others out there. Even US presidents are kept on a need to know basis about aliens and alien tech.

Long UFO Sighting in North Richland Hills, Texas June 16, 2021.
Long UFO Sighting in North Richland Hills, Texas June 16, 2021.
Date of sighting: June 16, 2021
Location of sighting: North Richland Hills, Texas, USA
UFO sightings have increased dramatically ever since the pandemic began and I might add...the UFOs have been getting stranger and stranger looking. This one was spotted over a shopping area of Richland Hills, Texas and if you look carefully you will notice that its darker on both ends, yet lighter in between. It also rotates on end. What odd is its out during the daytime...and its allowing itself to be seen uncloaked. It's very possible this object is hovering over a location that is of particular interest to it. Maybe a hospital or residence of a person infected with covid...with a special immunity or reaction never before seen. Something important sits below this UFO.

My mom was getting her hair done in North Richland Hills, TX and witnessed this sighting. Any explanation? It looks like a man on a hover board in the sky.
Capitol Hill lawmakers said Wednesday that UFOs could pose a pressing threat to America’s national security, as the pols emerged from a highly classified briefing with Navy and FBI officials on the unexplained phenomena.
As for the existence of extraterrestrial life, the lawmakers largely left the secrets inside the surveillance-proof room, declining to tell reporters what they learned.
But some did voice concerns that the UFOs — which may be espionage assets controlled by America’s foreign adversaries, in a possible explanation just slightly less terrifying than the vanguard of an alien invasion — could pose a danger to national security.

“We take the issue of unexplained aerial phenomena seriously to the extent that we’re dealing with the safety and security of US military personnel or the national security interests of the United States, so we want to know what we’re dealing with,” said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY).
“I think it’s important to understand that there are legitimate questions involving the safety and security of our personnel, and in our operations and in our sensitive activities, and we all know that there’s [a] proliferation of technologies out there,” he continued. “We need to understand the space a little bit better.”
Added Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), “You know it’s always about our safety and security — our national security is [priority] number one — and so that’s really the area where we really focused on this morning.”

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the committee chairman, implied that the briefing was eye-opening, but also declined to get into specifics ahead of the release of a public report.
“It was an interesting briefing,” he said. “I did learn things that were certainly new to me. But I think I’m going to leave it at that.”
Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.), who has been heading efforts on the UFO inquiry, said Americans should expect an eventual public hearing on the report’s findings.
“We’re looking forward to having a public hearing at some point,” he said. “I mean, there’s some national security concerns that we want to take into consideration.”

Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) said that, if anything, the landmark report shows that UFOs are finally being taken seriously.
“The stigma is gone,” he said. “Now that’s as big a change in policy as I’ve witnessed about this issue in my lifetime. So the fact that they are taking this sort of thing seriously for the first time, I think, is important.”
Referencing the 1997 sci-fi flick “Contact” — adapted from a Carl Sagan novel — Quigley admitted that the report won’t have all the answers and that some things remain unexplainable.

“What do they say in ‘Contact’? Occam’s razor,” he said. “I still think that’s what’s real, and there are things we can’t explain.”
But with so many mysteries of the universe still beyond human understanding, Quigley cautioned Americans against getting their hopes up for the report.
“If I had to predict how the public will react to this, one word would be ‘disappointing,'” he said.
Added a clearly unimpressed Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), “I’m not on the edge of my seat.”

The Director of National Intelligence is scheduled to release a comprehensive report on June 25, 2021 to the US Senate that will assert, according to official leaks, that UFOs are an unknown national security threat!
Prior to the scheduled to release of the comprehensive report on June 25, Capitol Hill lawmakers said on June 16, 2021, that UFOs could pose a pressing threat to America’s national security, as the pols emerged from a highly classified briefing with Navy and FBI officials on the unexplained phenomena.
Why is this a 'Big Lie'? What’s the Deep State agenda behind promoting this now through the mainstream media after decades of dismissing the UFO phenomenon?
Watch this short film about how America has been secretly reverse engineering captured extraterrestrial spacecraft since the WW II era, and is on the verge of releasing some of its secret UFO technologies through the United States Space Force.
We are about to discover if the UFO truth IS out there: As Barack Obama hints they may not be a hoax, a Senate report is poised to lay bare the real X-Files. Here, a defense expert says they could be earth-shattering

President Biden has been in office less than a year but now, in the midst of grappling with the coronavirus and with a wealth of other issues on his plate, he is facing perhaps the biggest question of all: are we alone?
The idea that we may share our universe with alien life is far from new, and there have been regular sightings of UFOs — Unidentified Flying Objects — for decades.
But these have, until recently, been dismissed as hoaxes, or misinterpretations of natural phenomena.
Despite Hollywood’s enthusiasm for the subject, the U.S. Defense Department has always downplayed the significance of such reports and sightings.
Now, however, no less a figure than Barack Obama has raised the stakes by admitting on The Late Show that, when President, he asked whether there was a lab somewhere ‘where we’re keeping the alien specimens and spaceships?’

The answer was no, but he did acknowledge the existence of objects without an ‘easily explainable pattern’.
His comments come days after U.S. fighter pilots revealed seeing Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) off the coast of Virginia ‘every day’ for two years.
The idea of the government secretly investigating sightings of UFOs and other strange incidents has long been thought to belong to the realms of Hollywood or TV: it’s no mistake that The X-Files, featuring a secret organisation dedicated to such other-worldly phenomena, was described as a science fiction drama.
No longer. Once a preoccupation of hardcore sci-fi fans, UAPs (or UFOs) are now being taken extremely seriously at the very heart of government.
Easy as it may be to discount sightings and photos of UFOs by civilians, video footage and pictures taken by U.S. Navy pilots between mid-2014 and March 2015 that emerged three years ago could not be dismissed so easily.
Barack Obama has raised the stakes by admitting on The Late Show that, when President, he asked whether there was a lab somewhere ‘where we’re keeping the alien specimens and spaceships?’ The answer was no, but he did acknowledge the existence of objects without an ‘easily explainable pattern’
They showed a 30 to 40ft object, shaped like a Tic Tac, with no wings or rotors, yet able to hover, turn and accelerate through the sky at hypersonic speeds. The flabbergasted Navy pilots can be heard exclaiming in awe: ‘Oh dude!’
The footage was leaked to the New York Times, whose report also revealed the existence of a shadowy organisation based at the Pentagon dedicated to reports of UFO sightings, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program — AATIP.
Its $22million budget was buried within the defence department’s £600billion a year funding.
The titles of some of the studies conducted by AATIP read like something out of an episode of Star Trek: Invisibility Cloaking; Traversable Wormholes, Stargates And Negative Energy; Warp Drive, Dark Energy And The Manipulation of Extra Dimensions; and Metallic Spintronics.
But its work was shrouded in secrecy and its former head, Luis Elizondo, resigned in 2017 in protest at this cloak-and-dagger approach.
The UK has been similarly secretive about UFO sightings, although the Ministry of Defence did at least set up a department dedicated to otherworldly phenomena, which I headed from 1991 to 1994, earning myself the name ‘Real Life Fox Mulder’, after The X-Files detective played by David Duchovny.
This department was eventually wound up, but the sightings have continued and — as in the U.S. — while many can be discounted, there are some that have no reasonable, scientific explanation.
The pressure is now on the U.S. Defense Department to go public with what it knows about UFOs and what the implications are for national security.
The leaking of the pilots’ footage prompted it to announce in 2020 the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), led by the Navy.
The stated mission of this body was ‘to detect, analyse and catalogue UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security.’
The Senate Intelligence Committee — which oversees the tangle of 18 or more departments and organisations dedicated to intelligence-gathering in the U.S. — last year demanded a report on UFOs.
It is due next month, and it will be unclassified, although I suspect they will hide anything deemed too sensitive and secret within a classified annex to the report.
Certainly the government can no longer get away with dismissing those who have reported sightings of UFOs as cranks. If they know what these strange phenomena are, then they should be transparent, and tell us. And if they don’t — well, then we really do have reason to worry
Although this material too could be leaked. There has already been a great deal of leaking of photographs, official footage and documents relating to these unexplained sightings, notably the Navy pilots’ footage, and of other documents doing the rounds.
It is the existence of this information that has made it impossible for the government to deny or debunk such sightings and refuse to investigate them — as they have done since the 1960s.
What might the report contain? I believe there are three possible theories behind the strange sightings.
The first is that these strange aircraft are a U.S. ‘black project’ technology — a secret weapon developed by the U.S. Air Force that it is blind-testing against the Navy, to determine its efficacy.
After all, one unanswered question has been: where is the Air Force in all this? They have been strangely quiet, given that it is an issue about aircraft and airspace.
In this scenario, everything about UFOs is just a deception operation. The second theory is that the craft involved are secret prototype aircraft or drones operated by Russia or China — a troubling explanation, given the capabilities observed by the Navy pilots.
The third possibility is that we are in unknown territory — this would include the extraterrestrial hypothesis, or even a strange atmospheric plasma phenomenon that looks like an aircraft.
The Defense Intelligence Agency seems to want to play down the extraterrestrial theory but it is interesting to note that among the footnotes to the letter to Congress is a reference to a study of the Drake Equation, designed by the astronomer Frank Drake to calculate how many non-human civilisations there might be.
I sincerely hope that the intelligence community co-operates with the Senate report and gives us some idea of what we are dealing with. If we don’t know what it is, we cannot take defensive measures against it, if necessary.
And I trust that the findings — even the classified ones — will be shared with the UK, its closest defence ally.
Having studied unexplained sightings for many years, not only in my role at the MoD, but as the author of several books about such phenomena, including an investigation into the UK’s Rendlesham Forest Incident in 1980, about the landing of UFOs there witnessed by U.S. airmen, I believe that unexplained objects in our skies cannot simply be ignored.
My understanding is that there are disagreements within the defence and intelligence services about what it is that we are dealing with, and what steps we must take. For so many years scepticism and secrecy have prevailed. Now, at last, we are beginning to see some transparency.
But what we have learned so far is, I believe, just the tip of the iceberg. If these are the videos and pictures that have been leaked, how many more sightings are going on that we are not seeing? I suspect a lot.
Other pictures are emerging, captured on phones — one recently recorded an unidentified object disappearing into the ocean.
The U.S. Navy has even issued guidance to its pilots about what to do if they encounter these mysterious aircraft.
They wouldn’t bother doing that if there had been three or four incidents. This suggests ongoing encounters.
This could just be one of those interesting instances where conspiracy theorists turn out to be right. Not about aliens — I don’t think little green men are about to descend on us — but about the unexplained aircraft.
Certainly the government can no longer get away with dismissing those who have reported sightings of UFOs as cranks.
If they know what these strange phenomena are, then they should be transparent, and tell us. And if they don’t — well, then we really do have reason to worry.
A highly anticipated Pentagon report on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – also known as UFOs – has raised lots of interest from astronomers, journalists, and even former president Barack Obama. The Canadian military has documents of reported UFO sightings going back decades. What explains this? Is it proof of extraterrestrial life? Or, a foreign military using advanced technology? Our panel discusses the new interest in these mysterious sightings.
Artificial intelligence aliens may not be as appealing as those who are warm-blooded and squishy, but it’s probably more accurate to imagine them that way
‘If extraterrestrials come to Earth, the ensuing scenario would be quite different than picking up an alien radio signal or detecting a flashing laser in the sky.’Photograph: Construction Photography/Avalon/Getty Images
I’m an astronomer at the Seti Institute, a non-profit research organization in California’s Silicon Valley. My colleagues and I look for extraterrestrial life, including intelligent beings – or in the vernacular, aliens. It’s exciting times for people like me, because extra-terrestrial life is being widely discussed now in the lead-up to the Pentagon’s highly anticipated report on so-called unexplained aerial phenomena.
Yet I should say straight away that I am not expecting any big revelations out of the report. I think it’s overwhelmingly likely that aliens are present in our galaxy. But I don’t believe they’re hanging out in our airspace. Not now, and not in historic times.
Everyone is now serious about UFOs. But they reveal more about earthling politics
Claims that extraterrestrials helped build large, pointy monuments in the Egyptian desert 5,000 years ago are, frankly, laughable. And I don’t think that videos made by cameras on navy F-18 Hornets actually show alien craft darting around the skies above the Pacific. There are more prosaic explanations for these videos: no extraterrestrials required.
But in a galaxy in which every third star is likely to host an Earth-size planet, it hardly seems possible that our world is the only one sporting intelligence. Which raises the possibility that we might someday make contact. If that occurs, what might the inhabitants of other worlds be like? The question is especially relevant if – as often happens in science-fiction – the aliens decide to pay us a visit.
If extraterrestrials come to Earth, the ensuing scenario would be quite different than picking up an alien radio signal or detecting a flashing laser in the sky, modes of discovery being pursued by my colleagues and myself. The aliens producing such signals will be light years away, and their appearance and intentions wouldn’t be of much concern. But those of anyone landing their spacecraft on our turf would be.
Consider their looks. On Earth, nature has spawned a wide variety of living forms, and presumably would do so anywhere multicellular life exists. All terrestrials have DNA blueprints, and share similarities in molecular makeup. Nonetheless, few of our fellow Terrans resemble us. The extraterrestrials wouldn’t either.
This argues against the iconic aliens of film and TV, those little gray guys who are no more than modified humans. Their four appendages, upright stance, and absence of body hair are simple extrapolations of ourselves. Yes, Hollywood offers up these beings as residents of faraway worlds. But really they’re just the guy next door, lacking in eyebrows and whites in their eyes.
Any aliens that trek to our planet are unlikely to be carbon-based life forms, either hirsute or hairless. Their cognitive abilities will probably not be powered by a spongy mass of cells we’d call a brain. They will probably have gone beyond biological smarts and, indeed, beyond biology itself. They won’t be alive.
The reason is a simple consequence of the staggering distances to the stars. Even the nearest, Proxima Centauri, is 25tn miles from Earth. Our fastest rockets would take 75,000 years to reach it. Neither humans nor Klingons are built to withstand such trips.
You might be thinking that the aliens might have far speedier spacecraft. Without doubt, that’s possible. But there are natural limitations to high-speed rockets. Suppose that an alien would like to cover the distance between Proxima Centauri and Earth in 10 years. Their rocket would need to muster 600m times as much energy as a Saturn V rocket. Double that number if they plan to come to a stop at Earth and engage with the locals.
This may sound like an annoying practical matter that can be dismissed by noting that aliens could be far more advanced than us. And that’s easily possible: The universe is three times the age of our solar system, so the Galaxy may house societies that are millions or even billions of years ahead of Homo sapiens. Nevertheless, while their technology might be in a different league, the aliens must operate under the same laws of physics. Star Trek and similar scenarios aside, it’s extremely difficult to traverse light-years of space in less than a lifetime – anyone’s lifetime. You can call up Scotty in the engine room, but he won’t be able to help.
Traveling from one solar system to another is incredibly difficult and expensive. However, if you’re not in a hurry, the prospects for an interstellar voyage brighten considerably. Such leisurely trips aren’t going to appeal to biological passengers who will die long before their destination is reached. Machines, on the other hand, won’t complain if they’re cooped up in a spaceship for tens of thousands of years. They don’t require food, oxygen, sanitation or entertainment. And they don’t insist on a round-trip ticket.
Artificial intelligence aliens may not be as appealing as those who are warm-blooded and squishy, but we shouldn’t get hung up on an anthropocentric viewpoint. Researchers who work in AI estimate that machines able to beat humans on an IQ test will emerge from the labs by mid-century. If we can do it, some extraterrestrials will have already done it.
Therefore it’s reasonable to expect that any cosmic intelligence paying us a visit will be synthetic. That rules out easy speculation on what the “aliens” will look like. But if it’s a machine, who cares?
Of greater concern would be its intentions. Most sci-fi stories postulate that visitors would be noxious, arriving with a primal urge to obliterate Los Angeles or London. Frankly, if that’s what’s on their mechanical minds, it’s probably impossible to keep them at bay. Chimps couldn’t outsmart humans in any serious confrontation. Likewise, devices who can manage a trip to Earth will have the capability to do whatever they wish once they get here.
It’s a sure bet that any face-to-face encounter with extraterrestrials will be fraught. So, if alien craft ever do settle on the White House lawn, you can hope that whatever’s inside is friendly. If not, there’s always negotiation.
A new episode of "Down to Earth with Terry Virts" is released every Wednesday.

Former NASA astronaut Colonel Terry Virts' has launched an entertaining new podcast that promotes discussions about issues that matter here on Earth.
"Down to Earth with Terry Virts" covers a range of topics including science, politics, film, sport, and of course space, with a variety of fascinating guests.
So if you want to hear about how the universe will end, what life is like as a Navy SEAL or what a former deputy assistant secretary of defense has to say about UFOs, this podcast is for you.
Former NASA astronaut Colonel Terry Virts spent over seven months in space on the International Space Station, where he captured the reality of his experience through photography. Virts has famously taken more photos from space than any other human, having taken over 300,000 spectacular images.
He is one of the stars of the IMAX film, "A Beautiful Planet," and is the director of the documentary, "One More Orbit." He is also the author of the National Geographic photography book, "View From Above," as well as his latest book, "How to Astronaut."
We caught up with Virts and asked him a few questions about how space travel has changed his perspective about issues down here on Earth and what his main goals are for his podcast. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Space.com: Would you say you've gained a new perspective of Earth after being in space?
Terry Virts: I think so, yes. People ask, "How did you change?" I've thought about this and I think the way it changed me is I'm less of a black and white person. The older you get, the more wisdom you have and you're like, "Yes, there's probably two sides to everything, and you really should look at the data before you come to a conclusion."
We used to be stuck on Earth, everything was two dimensional, everything was north, south, east and west right? Then once we started flying, all of a sudden there was this third dimension. Now we have the Hubble Space Telescope and these telescopes that are really looking in four dimensions — they're not only seeing things that are far away, they're seeing things that are really old, back billions of years old.
Space photography has changed everything. People like you and me just grew up with it, like that was normal. One of the pictures I had when I was younger was from Viking which was the first American lander on Mars. A hundred years ago we barely had airplanes so it's amazing how quickly our perspectives have changed.
Space.com: What inspired you to start your own podcast? Is it something you've been wanting to do for a while?
Virts: A couple of years ago I was writing blogs, and then I started writing books so my extra bandwidth went from blogs to books. I do podcast interviews all the time and I did this one in the U.K. It's an aviation podcast called EVA, and it was great, and the producer afterwards was like, "Terry, that was amazing, you need to do your own podcasts," and so we spent a few months talking about it and then I just did it.
The thing is, I know so many cool people from totally random different backgrounds.
Space.com: Like who?
Virts: My first guest was Larry Kopald from The Carbon Underground, we talked about how to get carbon out of the air back underground. My second guest was Eric Berger, this really well known space reporter at Ars Technica. I talked to astrophysicist Katie Mack about the end of the universe.
I just talked to Chris Mellon, who is a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence and ran the Senate intelligence committee. A very serious, senior U.S. security official, and [we talked] about UFOs and that blew my mind. Afterward, my producer and I were just staring at each other like, "What do we do with that? That was unbelievable!"
Space.com: What are your goals with the podcast?
Virts: The goal is to talk about things that matter in an honest way.
And so we'll talk about quantum mechanics or how to land on Mars or why gun violence is so awful or how to solve the climate problem or are UFOs real. We will talk about how we are going to get out of this debt and the political divisions that we have.
All this stuff matters, some of it is interesting, some is important, some is critical. As you can tell, I have a pretty wide interest but I think that's just how my brain works.
Special reports concerning FAA Reports 10,000 UFO Sightings, False Flag Alien Innovation, 1989 Soviet Attack Possible False Flag, Strange Craft and Carbon 60.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Tennessee Texas, and Virginia.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Canada, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Philippines, Spain, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers. Forward these files to your friends and neighbors.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
FAA Reports 10,000 UFO Sightings
10,000 UFO/UAP reports
The Federal Aviation Administration has seen a dramatic increase in drone-related incidents, recording approximately 10,000 reports in the last five years. The War Zone has identified a substantial number of military encounters with unidentified aircraft among those reports, often in sensitive airspace. When I flew out of Langley Air Force Base, Virginia in 1967, we used to see them periodically. Navy divers told us they saw them under water moving at high speed around the coast. This was before drones existed.
FAA reports, while some of the incidents represent typical hazards associated with commercial drones, others are indicative of advanced capabilities, including the ability to fly at relatively high altitudes and to potentially operate in coordinated groups. More so, it is not just what’s happening, it is where it is happening that is so intriguing.
Typical Craft seen Entering and leaving Ocean
The incidents appear to have predominantly impacted the U.S. Navy and Air Force, with a pronounced geographic nexus off the coast of the southeastern United States, as well as another in the southwestern United States. Many of the incidents we identified occurred far out over the ocean in military training ranges that have become known for ongoing sightings of unusual aircraft. Notably, there were far fewer similar incidents reported to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in other areas that also host a great deal of military activity, such as off the West Coast or around Florida. It is unclear if this is because fewer incidents happen in those locations or if it is because reporting practices are inconsistent, or a mixture of both. Thanks to Bill LaParl

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers…” “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places EPHESIANS 6:12 KJV
Momentous UFO events are taking place for the first time UFOs are being treated with respect by our government telling us they are real like I told you in these Files for 25 years. Frankly I’m very suspicious of grand announcements like the government closing pipelines and shutting down oil drilling leases increasing oil prices by 50, % the greatest increase of inflation in decades.
Carol Rosin was the first woman corporate manager of Fairchild Industries and was spokesperson for Wernher Von Braun in the last years of his life. She founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space in Washington DC and has testified before Congress on many occasions about space-based weapons. I met Carol at the Disclosure Project at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. in May 2001 when we both testified. Carol is known for having helped start the movement to prevent the weaponization of space. Carol Rosin was a close friend of Wernher von Braun (23 March 1912 – 16 June 1977) was a German-born American aerospace engineer and space architect. Von Braun joined Fairchild Industries as a Vice President for Engineering and Development. Fairchild Industries was one of the aerospace contractors that was secretly involved in building a ring-shaped space station.
Von Braun was the leading figure in the development of the v-2 rocket technology in Nazi, Germany and a pioneer of rocket and space technology. While in his twenties and early thirties he helped design and co-developed the V-2 rocket at Peenemunde during World War II. He was also likely participating in the development of the Space Force.
Following the war, he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the U.S. Army on an intermediate range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that successfully launched the United States’ first space satellite Explorer! Michael E. Salla, Ph.D. wrote that Von Braun was committed to eliminating weapons in space as he convinced Rosin during the final years of his life, or was he a double agent secretly working for the Fourth Reich Antarctic Germans? In 1960, his group was assimilated into NASA, where he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V heavy lift Launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo Spacecraft to the Moon
William Tomkins worked with him and NASA developing the Apollo Control Room. He announced that Germany had gained the secret of anti-gravity that was later used I the Space Fleet. He was aware of the various advancements in technology and the race to the Moon in competition with the Soviet Union. He was likely aware of the Hangar near Chicago where a false area of the Moon was set up and a movie made to show the landing on the Moon. The movie was made to insert a false narrative if the landing was not successful on the Moon.
I met Carol Rosin, a high-ranking manager at Fairchild Industries on several occasions. Each time she told me that Von Braun’s had been briefed of a False Flag Alien Invasion – a genuine warning or a Fourth Reich deception or other key forces wishing to take control of the world?
From 1974 – 1977, Werner Von Braun began privately telling, about a sequence of contrived global false flag scenarios of an extraterrestrial invasion, which would usher in a New World Order. The scheduled release of new information about UFOs may be part of the false flag scenario he warned about. The locking up of the country for the Chinese release of the Corona Virus may have been a test of how willing the country was to accept fear of danger and to stay inside, wear masks, etc. The next big fear is likely to be the sky is falling concerning meteorites, or an alien invasion is taking place.
Von Braun had been it the SS and knew how powerful Nazi propaganda against the Jews had been. He knew that a clever propaganda campaign controlled by the six companies that control the television media in the U.S. can carry out a false flag extraterrestrial invasion, just as they have ignored any threats from China. If the country was told that the extraterrestrials were now in control, stay inside so they don’t harm you, and listen to the news. What would Americans or the people of the world do?
The extent of the Fourth Reich in Red
It’s possible World Communist/Marxist Governments or the remnants of the Fourth Reich, have the UFOs and Direct Energy Weapons, media and computer technology to give Von Braun’s prediction capability. Von Braun a former Nazi SS officer would know about the existence of a breakaway Nazi colony in South America and Antarctica. We can assume his multiple warning was genuine and he had held high classified positions in our government, contact with German scientists in the Soviet Union and some contacts the Fourth Reich. If the people believe aliens are about to attack or global false flag “cards” such as asteroid impacts and extraterrestrial invasion, would lead to the militarization of space and usher in a New World Order.
After NASA made the decision to end the Apollo Program, Von Braun decided to retire on May 26, 1972, six months before the launch of Apollo 17, the last moon landing mission. He had been the Director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (1960-1972), where he led the largely German engineering teams designing the Saturn V rockets that would power the Apollo Program.
In return for its covert help through the Apollo program, the US military gained scientific assistance in its efforts to study and reverse engineer captured extraterrestrial technologies. Werner Von Braun was among a select group of Operation Paperclip scientists who were asked to evaluate the remains of the 1947 Roswell Crash.

Dr. Von Braun explained how he had been taken to the crash site and how the exterior of the space craft was not metal as we know it, but appeared to be made of something biological, like skin. There were alien bodies which were being kept in a medical tent near the UFO. The beings were small, very frail, and reptilian in nature. Von Braun compared their skin to rattlesnakes that he and his group had encountered at White Sands. Von Braun was puzzled by the nature of the debris. The material was very thin, aluminum colored, like chewing gum wrapping, unlikely to have traveled from another planet according to the scientist.
. German Paperclip scientists were helping the USAF study and reverse engineer alien technologies? During the 70s, industry was able to back engineer and build electromagnetic and torsion field propulsion systems that were put into newer craft.
Wernher von Braun’s Deathbed Warning reportedly admitted late in life that German humans have possessed anti-gravity / beam-energy technology since WWII…Von Braun also pointed out in the 70’s that humanity could now easily convert to a long-suppressed, free-energy technology at any time”.
I net Carol Rosen at various conferences where she always emphasized Von Braun’s False Flag Alien Invasion that some group would use it to put weapons in space. There is strong evidence that the weapons do in fact exist aboard various objects in space.
1989 Soviet Attack Possible False Flag
Nancy and Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan liked to say, “God has a plan for everything.” He and Nancy were expected at a casual dinner party with friends in Hollywood when they were first married and showed up a half hour later quite upset. “They stated that they had seen a UFO coming down the coast.”
In 1974, California Governor stated, “I was in a plane last week when I looked out the window and saw this white light. It was zigzagging around.” “I went up to the pilot and said, “Have you ever seen anything like that?” He was shocked and he said, “Nope.” And I said to him: “Let’s follow it!” “We followed it for several minutes. It was a bright white light.” “We followed it to Bakersfield, and all of a sudden to our utter amazement it went straight up into the heavens.”
When he became President, he frequently discussed UFOs with his staff, and received numerous reports on sightings, and made frequent references to UFOs in his speeches.
On September 28, 1981, President Reagan received a letter from Colonel Ret. Colman VonKeviczky, Director of the International UFO Galactic Spacecraft Research and Analytic Network (ICUFON) that claimed UFOs were an intergalactic task force that will destroy earth unless world leaders’ band together to end their hostile actions against UFOs.”
Chief Advisor of the White House, Major General Robert Schweitzer replied, “The President is well aware of the threat you document so clearly and is doing all in his power to restore the national defense margin of safety as quickly and prudently as possible.” Dated November 21, 1981.
General Douglas MacArthur also spoke of “an ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy.
On December 4, 1985, Reagan made a speech at Fallston High School in Maryland talking about his meeting in Geneva where in five hours of private conversations with Soviet Premier Gorbachev he had brought up the alien scenario:
Regan Felt an Alien Attack Could Happen
“I couldn’t help but – when you stop to think that were all God’s children, wherever we live in the world, I couldn’t help but say to him (Gorbachev) just how easy his task and mine might be if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We had forgot all the little local differences that we have between our countries, and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this Earth together. Well, I guess we can wait for some alien race to come down and threaten us, but I think that between us we can bring about that realization.”
Reagan showed his perception of UFOs at the United Nations General Assembly September 21st, 1987, when he stated, “In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you,” he went on, “is not an alien threat already among us? What could be more alien to universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?”
Was Regan considering creating his own false flag alien invasion on the Soviet Union?
President Reagan apparently developed a plan to defeat the USSR, and Communism that he called the Evil Empire. A key part of the plan was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) announced in 1983 and called the “Star Wars” defense system that could destroy Soviet missiles and probably UFOs. Reagan proposed a complex set of defensive lasers and missiles intended to shoot down Soviet IBCMs. He even offered the defense system to the Soviets.
Whether inspired through his conversations with President Reagan, or through information provided by his own intelligence, Gorbachev had his own interest in UFOs.
Premier Gorbachev
On February 16, 1987, in an important speech, at a conference at Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow on the “Survival of Humanity,” Gorbachev stated, “At our meeting in Geneva, the U.S. President said that if the earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials, the United States and the Soviet Union would join forces to repel such an invasion. I shall not dispute the hypothesis, although I think it is early yet to worry about such an intrusion. It is much more important to think about the problems that have entered in our common home.”
Hundreds of reports of abductions were reported in the Soviet Union, astronauts were reporting UFOs, fighters were being launched to chase them, and while rumors persist Gorbachev himself was visited by an alien and given a stern warning.
Not generally known is that the Soviet Union under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev prepared and nearly carried out a nuclear attack on the United States according to two Soviet KGB Colonels “At the age of 54, Gorbachev was elected to the General Secretariat by the Politburo on 11 March 1985. This was the beginning of a series of fundamental Soviet reforms”.
President Reagan ordered a massive buildup of the United States Armed Forces in 1981, directing funding to the B-1 Lance bomber, the B-2 Spirit bomber, cruise missiles, the MX missiles, and the 60 ship Navy.
Reagan and Gorbachev
In response to Soviet deployment of the SS-20, long range nuclear missiles and a potential alien threat. The Strategic Defense Initiative dubbed Star Wars was first proposed by President Ronald Reagan in a nationwide television address on March 23, 1983. The idea was to block nuclear missiles and allegedly attack alien craft and after several years was meeting initial success. In June 1987, American president Ronald Reagan stood at the Berlin Wall and demanded that Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev “Tear down this wall!”
.President Reagan Meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev at Governors Island on December 7, 1988 -American President Ronald Reagan asked Mikhail Gorbachev for help from Russia to ‘fight the alien invader.’
Gorbachev agreed that the nations of the world would fight together. The Soviet Union’s first step in the end of the Cold War came when Mikhail S. Gorbachev implicitly abandoned the Brezhnev Doctrine. On 14 April 1988, the Governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan, with the United States and Soviet Union serving as guarantors, signed an agreement known as the Geneva accords. This included five major documents, which, among other things, established a timetable that ensured full Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan by 15 February 1989. Gorbachev was secretly preparing and nearly launched an attack on the United States.
Gorbachev demanded that the retreat be orderly and dignified — he did not want television images reminiscent of the chaotic 1975 US pullout from Vietnam. “We must not appear before the world in our underwear or even without any,” he told the Politburo inner circle. “A defeatist position is not possible.” The withdrawal was intended as a sign of conciliation toward the West and reassurance to the East Europeans, but it encouraged others to challenge Soviet power.
In 1989, one-fourth of the entire Soviet population was engaged in military activities and preparing for a possible strike at the US. Soviet Bloc countries were threatening to escape Soviet leadership and war would likely keep them in line. I believe Gorbachev decided to take a chance and see if the US defense was down. The Inauguration of George H. W. Bush as the 41st President of the United States was held on Friday, January 20, 1989. Bush might easily be fooled concerning Soviet attentions and quickly surrender to a surprise attack.
Typhoon Class Nuclear Sub the largest ever built
The Soviet Navy was a large part of the Soviet Union’s strategic plan in the event of a conflict with the opposing superpower, the United States; Soviet Navy had 63 ballistic missiles submarines.
These Soviet subs generally carry 16 missiles, and many are multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) that if launched could have hit key military installations and cities in a few minutes after launch and likely succeed before the SDI Star Wars was operational.
The Soviet Unions also had 72 cruise missiles submarines and 64 nuclear attack submarines plus bombers and Intercontinental missiles. It had the older III/IV SSBNs that carry 16 of the older Sineva Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles with a range of up to 5,100 miles with a full payload. It is reported that the Sineva missiles have been upgraded to the new Layner standard, a highly advanced derivative of the Sineva, which carries up to 12 MIRVs (warheads can be of a mixed set with various yields).
Normally four of five Soviet nuclear missile submarines came on station near the U.S. shores. After several months on station the missile subs would be replaced by more subs and the initial subs would return to the Soviet Union. However, the initial subs did not return, and the additional subs came on station in the spring of 1989. Soviet military forces had now left Afghanistan in January of 1989 and were now ready to launch an attack on NATO… Fortunately the airborne Sub tracker aircraft were on station looking for the Soviet subs.
VP-64 t Orion P-3 Aircraft of the Naval Reserve
VP-64 t Orion P-3 Aircraft of the Naval Reserve unit from Willow Grove Naval Air station near Philadelphia allegedly were the first units to spot the Soviet buildup. They noticed the subs on station were not returning while there was a buildup of the new subs. Also, Soviet subs were spotted off the Florida coast. Twenty Soviet subs on each coast could launch 320 nuclear missiles plus MIRVs hitting multiple targets with only a few minutes warning. Long range missiles could knock out key Minuteman missiles and nuclear equipped bombers in a fifteen-minute attack before the US could respond. The Soviet attack submarines would hope to knock out US Polaris missile subs near the Soviet Union.
Once key military installations were knocked out in the US, it was doubtful NATO forces would put up much of a fight. Large Soviet underground facilities would protect most of the Soviet population if some retaliatory missiles got thru. If the numerous subs were not detected the US would likely surrender.
Once the alarm was sounded large US Navy forces of dozens of P-3s and attack helicopters and naval vessels moved into hover over the Soviet submarines. US attack subs had followed several of the Soviet subs across the Atlantic Ocean and a picture of the Soviet intentions developed. Gorbachev felt if the subs had not been detected most key military bases in the US could be destroyed before the US could retaliate. Fortunately, the subs were tracked by Orion Aircraft and US attack submarines and the Soviet Union gave up their secret attack plan and a nuclear was averted.
UFO Crash After Being Shot Down
According to the “Secret KGB UFO files” TV program UFO craft were discovered after crashing possibly after Soviet intercepts. UFOs were swarming over the Soviet Union in an apparent response to the Soviet failed attack.
Besides numerous abduction scenarios, UFOs were destroying key Soviet installations, and intercepts of Soviet communications indicated fighters were being launched to ward off further UFO attacks. General Igor Malsev, Chief of the General Staff for Air Defense Forces (PVO), admitted that over a hundred observations of UFOs had been reported to him, mostly by pilots, on March 21, 1990. The Soviets were overly concerned about the attacks and the new threats provided by UFOs.
Attacking Triangle Overs USSR
In May 1990, shortly before the fall of the Soviet Union Gorbachev made a second more direct statements about UFOs. “The phenomenon of UFOs does exist,” he stated, “and it must be treated seriously.”
According to filmmaker and Russian ufologist Dr. Vladimir Avinsky, on September 13, 1990, just after midnight a Soviet radar station near Samara was attacked by a black triangular shaped UFO. It was about 50 feet in length on each leg of the triangle. A fire stated and the radar antennae seemed to melt. These extraordinary events were reported in the Red Star Military Newspaper. Dr. Avinsky provided these drawings of the attack.
These pictures were given to me by two Soviet KGB Colonels
Triangle UFOs Attacks Key USSR Facilities
According to Timothy Good in his excellent new book “Need to Know” on September 28, 1990, cosmonauts on board the Mir Space station saw a UFO over Newfoundland. Astronaut Gennadi Manakov states, “It was a great, silvery sphere and it was iridescent at 22:51 hours. It was much larger than a huge ship and had a regular shape, but what it was I don’t know, perhaps an enormous, experimental sphere, or something else“. snip
Officially it is stated the Soviet Union collapsed because of economic problems, but from its beginning it always had serious financial problems and its huge oil production was coming online. I suggest UFOs participated in the collapse of the Soviet Union to protect their interests.
Boris Yeltsin came to power on June 12, 1991, and was elected president of Russia becoming the first popularly elected president, and completing the fall of the Communist USSR and essentially ending the Cold War.
According to two Soviet KGB Colonels I met the Extraterrestrials were well as where of the Soviet plans and may have helped in uncovering the Soviet planed attack The aliens have a strong dislike for nuclear war in that it may make living on the planet intolerable. Shortly after the failed attack the Soviet Union was attacked almost nightly by triangle shaped craft and key installations were destroyed. According to the KGB Colonels, Gorbachev was visited by Exterrestrials who told him the world cannot have two Superpowers ready to destroy the Earth and the Soviets had been chosen to in effect to surrender and dissolve the Soviet Union. The failed attack was the momentum for various Soviet Bloc countries to start to withdraw from Soviet rule and suddenly the Soviets seemed weak and unwilling to occupy its Soviet Bloc nations as they had previously done in the past. By the summer of 1989 Gorbachev’s domestic reforms had run into serious trouble. The centrifugal forces in the “outer empire” stimulated and accelerated those in the “inner empire”, as the Soviet republics sought sovereignty and then independence. As the center disintegrated and Gorbachev opened the political process with glasnost (openness), the old communist “barons” in the republics saw the handwriting on the wall and became nationalist.
Shortly after Poland’s electorate voted the Communists out of government in June 1989, Gorbachev announced that the Soviet Union would not interfere with the internal affairs of the Eastern European countries. By October, Hungary and Czechoslovakia followed Poland’s example. The second act of the drama began in the fall of 1989 with peaceful revolutions in Eastern and Central Europe (except Romania) and the fall of the Soviet “outer empire.”
On 09 November 1989, the East German Government opened the Berlin Wall. East Germany, the center of contention throughout the Cold War, was united with West Germany and integrated into NATO.
Collapse of Soviet Union Lost Numerous Nations and Area
As one historian noted, in Poland communism took ten years, in Hungary ten months, in East Germany ten weeks, and in Czechoslovakia ten days to disappear. In Romania — the bloody exception to the rule of peaceful transition — the end came with the execution of Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife on Christmas Day. The Eastern Bloc. Charter 77 (Czechoslovakia) Solidarity (Poland) Jeltoqsan (Kazakhstan) Braşov rebellion (Romania) January Events (Lithuania) The Barricades (Latvia) April 9 tragedy (Georgia) Black January (Azerbaijan). The collapse of the Warsaw Pact a year later plus the 1990 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe [that substantially reduced Soviet superiority in conventional forces in Europe resulted in a stronger Western alliance — so strong that the US could redeploy forces from Europe to the Persian Gulf for use against Iraq.
President Bush and Yeltsin Declare End To Cold War
At the of Malta Summit on December 2 and 3, 1989, both the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union declared the Cold War over. Taking place on December 2–3, 1989, just a few weeks after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was their second meeting following a meeting that included Ronald Reagan, in New York in December 1988.
At the Malta Summit, new US President George HW Bush, announced that the superpowers had ‘buried the Cold War at the bottom of the Mediterranean.’
My history of the world is quite different than that of the news media. Perhaps the real history will be revealed some day.
In 1991, the two countries were partners in the Gulf War against Iraq a longtime Soviet ally. On 31 July 1991, the START I treaty cutting the number of deployed nuclear warheads of both countries was signed by Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev and U.S. President George Bush. However, many consider the Cold War to have truly ended in late 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
After the fall of the Soviet Union’s the CIA obtained KGB reports that the remains of the ‘petrified soldiers’ were transferred to a secret research institution near Moscow. “Specialists assume that a source of energy still unknown to Earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular structure was no different to limestone like reports in the Bible. A CIA representative stated: ‘if the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case. “The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions’.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin is frequently cited as calling the collapse of the Soviet Union “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.” But that is not how the Kremlin translates his words. In his annual address to the Federal Assembly on 25 April 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putin “Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century.
Thatcher and Reagan
Margaret Thatcher reminded us, ” President Reagan won the Cold War.” I feel he had help from our visitors in UFOs or was it a false flag scenario making the Soviets beehive aliens were attacking them? In Raegan’s last public announcement, he revealed, “When the Lord calls me home, whenever that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours, and eternal optimism for its future.”
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft. During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer. From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public. Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book. By John L. Guerra. https://amzn.to/2SK3SIQ

UFO Sightings in the United States
Sightings are from MUFON CMS
Arizona Sphere
Tucson– on May 12, 2021, while waiting at a bus stop on Speedway Blvd and Palo Verde, I observed what looked like a ball in the NW direction. At first, I thought it could have been a metallic type of balloon. But the ball shaped figure got closer and stayed at a low elevation and did not rise like a balloon but flew SE toward the Rincon Mountains. The movement was not erratic, it did not change elevation, just a shiny, metallic sphere with no windows or appendages. just a smooth round shiny ball moving about 75 feet above the power lines.
California Object
Morongo Valley – on June 4, 2021, was on a trip to LA with some buddies when we passed through Morongo Valley, and I spotted this object. It looked flat but was extremely far in the distance, so it was hard to tell anything about it. I grabbed my I phone and recorded it. My friends all saw it too. The object zoomed off at supersonic speeds.
Colorado Disc
Cortez— on July 15th, 2019, while on a trip to Colorado heading south on highway 145 in the San Juan Mountains range, I stopped and started taking pictures of the mountain peaks with my Nikon 5600 camera with a Tamron 28-400 mm lens which equals a 600 mm on the Nikon and with my Samsung Note 9. After the trip noticed this black object in the sky on pictures with the Nikon and the Samsung Note 9.
With my Samsung I was doing a panoramic of the mountain peaks and I noticed in one of the panoramic photos there is this black object. t would have been too big for a bird. So, I am perplexed as to what I’m seeing in these photos.
I have a raw file from the Nikon, and the ones attached are jpgs. with no edits.
Thanks for any information if you think there is something to these photos. It might be nothing, but attached you see the images I took
Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Florida Object
Miami– on May 29, 2021, I was in the pool floating on my back when I noticed a shiny star on a clear blue sky. It was around 6-6:40pm a shiny silver color reflecting the sun light getting brighter at times and then dimming. It was extremely high up in the sky. The object took a slight path to the south then stopped. I was surprised to see a silent star like object in broad daylight for 35minutes.
Georgia Lights
Thomaston– on June 1, 2021, stars and sky were blinking uncontrollably with orbs flying around.
Minnesota Lights
Bloomington – on May 25, 2021, spotted some weird lights in the sky that dimmed on and off. Sighting took place at approx. 9:30 pm at Bush Lake Park for 30 minutes. I left before the lights disappeared. Video recorded with an iPhone.
New Jersey Lights
Bellville – on June 6, 2021, was getting motion alerts in the backyard all night. Finally on this one I saw these orb formations take off from the ground and it scared the heck out of us! No clue what this is.
New York Object
Outside Rachel – on June 6, 2021, f family and I were traveling from Zion to Reno. About 20 minutes after turning on 375 my wife wanted to photograph a Joshua Tree. After several minutes, a circular object shining light suddenly appeared above us. I grabbed my cell phone from my car and took a video. We had no clue, but we were near area 51 and had never even heard of the ET highway and I am not a believer in aliens but all four of us are positive in what we saw. We learned later where we were located.
Orgone Dark Object
Medford– on June 9, 2021, I wanted to get some video of the lighting storm and we have secret cameras that are PTZ means so I can zoom, tilt, and track a person. I picked a spot where I see some lighting and this object comes in on the right side of the screen it is an oval dark shape and It’s moving in the clouds; it flies around then drops down into an area that’s sunny and disappears. Seconds later it reappears flies around and disappears.
Tennessee Object
Sevierville – on June 8, 2021, I saw a black looking tilting side to side, then climbed, then hovered in air. I could not tell what it was but it’s very strange.
Texas Lights
San Antonio – on November 15, 2018, I heard a buzzing sound coming from the front of the apartments. I went out front and noticed what I thought were 35 Chinese lanterns. Held onto the video for quite some time. Then started seeing other videos pop up remarkably similar like mine. The orbs seem to fly in a pattern and some even combine then separate which I thought was odd.
Virginia Light
Springfield – on May 25, 2021, witness this caught on ring camera. Have seen this one other time
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Canada Lights
British Columbia– on May 20, 2021, we are sure that we saw a UFO flying towards the southeast (Seattle) from where we were (downtown Vancouver, BC). I have attached a shorter clip. There is a longer clip which is 39 megabytes. Note: The witnesses likely saw Star-Link communication satellites. The video is not shown as it does not reveal much detail. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Kyrgyzstan Lights
Too Ashuu – on May 1, 2021, the Too-Ashuu pass is in the Ala-Too Mountains on the strategic Bishkek-Osh route, which connects the northern and southern regions of Kyrgyzstan. The height of the pass is 3,400 meters above sea level. I took a photo of the mountains, and got a UFO image
Mexico Object
Zapopan– on January 15, 2021, on a flight from Chiapas to Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. I took a photograph that shows how an object made of spheres passes under another plane in the opposite direction to my flight and leaves a beam of smoke. Note: May be an aircraft in the distance.
Philippines Lights
Manila – on January 20, 2017, I have four pictures of this object, which I first thought was unusual with beautiful colors in the sky but after I zoomed in on the pictures you will see for yourself. This was taking on a flight between Japan in Philippines.
Spain Disc
Marbella – on June 2, 2021, brilliant glimmering light in the sky, y although with slight movement left and right may be due to humidity in atmosphere and high temperature. Wind on ground light to medium from east, object did not vary in position during 15-minute sighting. Took 3 photos, best one showed clear outline. Used flight tracker app to confirm no commercial aircraft in the area.
UK/England Object
White Waltham Maidenhead– on May 29, 2021, I was relaxing in front of the Club house, and took a picture of my vintage plane. Above the left propeller is a UFO. UFOs normally fly so fast that the human eye does not see them, and it could be that I have captured a UFO.

Put another way, a young person in the U.S. is nearly 11 times as likely to die in a swimming pool than in a school shooting. Few public officials would say pools are doing a poor job protecting swimmers, but the statistics suggest that we need “more lifeguards at pools, as opposed to guards at schools,” Fox said

Somewhere in the afterlife, Stephen Hawking has his legs back and is undoubtedly jumping for joy after he’s been proven right again by scientists back on Earth. In a new paper published in Physical Journal Letters, researchers explain how they used data from gravitational waves to confirm one of Hawking’s best-known theories about black holes – that they can only grow, not shrink. If only clothing were made of black holes!
I knew it! Tell me more!
“It’s the first time that we can put a number on this.”
In a corollary to the Internet trope. “It’s not real if you don’t have a photo,” scientists know that it’s just a theory until you have some numbers to support it. That’s why MIT astrophysicist Maximiliano Isi, co-author of the paper, told Science News he and other astrophysicists decided to search for data to back up Stephen Hawking’s 1970s black hole area theorem that their surface area can only increase over time. That’s true with entropy or disorder and there’s nothing in the universe more disorderly than black holes gulping down everything in their path. While one would naturally assume that its diet would cause it to expand, a black hole eating a spinning object should cause it to spin and lose surface area. Hawking said no – the additional mass would offset it. He just didn’t have the numbers to back up the theory.
To find the numbers, Isi and his team looked at GW150914, the first gravitational waves directly observed in 2015. Those waves were caused by the merger of two black holes that spiraled inward and merged into one bigger black hole. Looking at the before-and-after data generated, they determined that the surface area of the newly formed black hole was greater than that of the two initial black holes combined. That’s one for Stephen Hawking – and another one for Albert Einstein and his general theory of relativity.
“We’re like, ‘aw, it was right again.’”
So what else is new?
Astrophysicist and study co-author Will Farr of Stony Brook University in New York and the Flatiron Institute in New York City told Science News that physicists can’t believe how often the general theory of relativity holds up against new challenges. One such challenge is quantum mechanics – what works on the large scale of black holes doesn’t always hold at the tiny quantum end of the spectrum. We’re still here, so no apocalyptic laws have been broken – so far.
Would the merger of the two great minds of Hawking and Einstein follow Hawking’s theorem and merge into a brain greater than the two added together? They’re probably working on it right now.
Quite possibly, that’s the strangest title I’ve ever come up with for an article! And it gets even stranger. In issue 187 of Fortean Times magazine, writer Mark Pilkington did a review of the FortNite 2004 gig. Pilkington highlighted certain material that was disclosed at the gig by the now late Budd Hopkins, the author of Missing Time: “…in order to better blend in with us humans, the Greys have taken to wearing wigs and sunglasses…the aliens are also experimenting with growing hair on the heads of their genetic hybrid grey-human creations…they’re also developing pupils to get around those giveaway wraparound black eyes.” Yes, it sounds totally bizarre. It should be noted, though, that there are numerous stories of mysterious, alleged alien entities who wear wigs to hide their true, hairless appearances. By now, you’re probably thinking “WTF???” And I certainly can’t blame anyone for that. Now, let’s get to the cases. Gloria is an elderly woman who lives in Decatur, Texas and who I met with on the afternoon of the 22nd. I decided to make the approximately 110-mile-roundtrip, after hearing a bit of her story down the phone the previous evening. I set off early, wondering, as I always do, what exactly I might be in for. It was a typical November day in Texas when I hit the road. It could have been a less than extraordinary experience – as is sometimes the case. But, not this time. On this occasion, the trip was well worth it.
I arrived at an old house – probably dating from the 1940s, and which was well kept and that had a welcoming porch, on which were a couple of chairs. I knocked the door and in just a few seconds it opened. In front of me was Gloria, a white-haired lady who smiled broadly. At least, her experience wasn’t affecting her character, I thought. She invited me in and I sat down, as a couple of caged canaries bid me welcome. At least, I think that’s what they did. On July 19, 2012, Gloria told me – as we drank coffee and ate homemade lemon cake in her living-room – she briefly saw what can only be accurately described as a flying saucer, which hovered over her home as she sat in her backyard, reading a book and with her two dogs for company. In fact, it was the barking of both dogs – which stared intently and rigidly at the sky – that alerted Gloria to the presence of the weird craft. It didn’t stay around for long, however. It was a case of here one second and gone the next second. But that was not all. The next afternoon, that of the 20th, there was a knock at the door. It was a pale-faced, thin woman of about thirty, wearing a long black wig and dressed in a black jacket, a white blouse, and a flowing, black skirt. And then there were the huge sunglasses. And the Woman in Black smelled of dirt – something I have heard before. Gloria felt deeply uncomfortable as, upon opening the door, the Woman in Black proceeded to warn her not to talk about the UFO she had encountered the previous day, due to the claim that “the government is concerned.” Concerned about what was never explained. The Woman in Black quickly exited the scene.
Karen Totten is an artist and sculptor who has had a wealth of anomalous experiences throughout her life, one of which was with an entity that falls definitively into the Woman in Black category. She says: “…when I was 17 I was working in a small convenience store, when a woman came in to buy cigarettes. At first I didn’t pay any attention to her until I saw her hand (when she handed me the money) – it was not like a normal human hand. This startled me so I looked up and saw a very pale entity, wearing a thin black coat (like a rain coat) with collar turned up to cover her neck, a heavy long haired wig, and very large black glasses. This did not entirely hide her strange face: a very pointed chin, scant lip and nose. She did not speak. Took her cigarettes and left! I was kinda stunned.” No doubt!
The following account, sent to me by a Facebook friend, is without doubt one of the most disturbing and chilling stories I have on record; and I don’t make such a statement lightly. The source – who prefers the term “A Hesitant Believer” – says of an experience which occurred in late 2008: “I worked as a bar manager at a sports bar in Tampa, Florida, and at 2:00 AM I cashed out the servers and sent them home and closed down the kitchen. The bar itself closed at 3:00 AM, but my last few barflies stumbled out before 2:30. I closed out the credit cards, counted the register, abused my free credits on the jukebox, and sat down to wait out the clock. At about ten minutes to three a couple walked in. I told them it was last call and cash only at this point, and locked the doors behind them, not even really paying attention to them (rude, I know, but after 12 hours, give me a break). When I did notice them, I began to feel uneasy.
“Neither one of them sat down on the stools in front of the bar. They each ordered a non-alcoholic beer, and then just stood there holding their drinks, about two stools apart. Then I noticed how they were dressed. I dress in a ‘goth’ style and prefer black, but these two were definitely not goths, despite the (almost) all-black attire. The man, who appeared older than the woman, maybe about 40-ish, wore a black double-breasted suit of an outdated cut. I’d say maybe 1950’s style, with a rumpled black shirt and a crooked black tie. I’d say he was about 5’9 with a thin build. He had incredibly pale skin that showed blue veins underneath (I had turned on all of the house lights by this point, so they stood out in stark contrast), a very high forehead, prominent cheekbones, and deep-set, large, brilliant blue eyes, possibly the most vibrant blue I have ever seen. He had thin, dry, unhealthy-looking silvery-grey hair pulled back in a ponytail, with seemingly random dark brown patches in it, as if he gave a half-assed attempt to dye it and gave up halfway through the process.
“The woman, who was about 5’6, emaciated, and looked about mid-20s, wore a black evening gown with elbow-length satin gloves and had a clashing bright green knit shawl around her shoulders. She had a short bob haircut with bangs, though it really looked like a poorly cared-for wig. She had the same high forehead, cheekbones, and blue eyes as her partner, although her eyes were more narrow and slightly slanted. Neither one had eyebrows.” As they were leaving, the pair gave “A Hesitant Believer” very disturbing grins. Is it really possible that we have among us strange, unearthly creatures that look somewhat like us, but who need a bit of “camouflage” to make them look “more human”?
